City to study idea of eliminating transit fares Town Talk T Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

he city’s public transit system is a lot like my idea to sell commemorative egg cartons (the dozen variety) to celebrate the Jayhawks’ dozen league championships: They’re both great ideas, but apparently they are never going to break even.

The transit system should be no surprise.

Transit systems all over the country routinely spend more than they bring in through ridership fares — usually a lot more. That certainly has been the case in Lawrence, which has caused a question to linger: Why not make the T free to ride and try to get as many people using the bus system as possible?

Well, it looks like the city is going to spend some time studying that idea. City commissioners at their meeting today are being asked to spend $200,000 for a new transit study that will examine several issues, including the idea of a fare-free system.

If for some reason you don’t study the city’s

transit budget, here are the basic numbers: The city expects to collect about $400,000 in fares in 2016. It expects to spend about $3 million to $4 million in operating expenses and quite a bit more in capital expenses.

So, the argument from proponents of a fare-free system is that $400,000 is not doing much to offset

Making an entrance

the expenses of the transit system, but the fares — they are $1 for a standard one-way trip — may be serving as a deterrent for some people to ride the system. Plus, some people likely think it is an equity issue. The city doesn’t charge user fees for lots of services its provides, so Please see TRANSIT, page 2A

Intersection to be rebuilt for KU Central District

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The city of Lawrence is looking for public feedback on its plan to rebuild the intersection of 19th Street and Ousdahl Road, which is slated to become the primary entrance to Kansas University’s Central District.

The city is hosting a public meeting about the reconstruction from 7 to 8 p.m.

Wednesday in the Jayhawk

Room of Fire Station No. 5, 1911 Stewart Ave. City officials have released more details about the project, which is being planned in advance of KU’s $350 million redevelopment of the central part of its campus.

City Engineer David Cronin said the rebuild of 19th Street from Iowa Street to Naismith Drive has been on a list of projects to be funded with the city’s 10-year infrastructure sales tax plan.

“With the KU project moving forward, we have begun preliminary design plans for 19th Street so that work on the KU project, including access, sidewalks, bike paths, waterlines, storm sewer, etc., doesn’t need to be reconstructed again in a couple of years,” Cronin said in an email.

The primary focus of the construction — and of Wednesday’s public meeting — will be the Ousdahl

Road intersection.

Nineteenth Street and Ousdahl Road is currently a three-way intersection.

When it becomes a four-way intersection during the KU Central District construction, “a traffic signal will be warranted for the additional traffic,” Cronin said.

That area of campus will be transformed under KU’s redevelopment plan. It Please see KU, page 6A

ESPN won’t change start time of KU game Basketball conflicts with Democratic caucus

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The cable sports network ESPN said Monday that it did not know about the Kansas presidential caucuses when it scheduled KU’s final regular season game for 3 p.m. Saturday and that it is too late to change its broadcasting plans.

“Working with the Big 12 Conference, we set the time for ESPN’s national telecast of Iowa State at Kansas, per the normal scheduling process,”

an ESPN spokesperson said via email. “Due to other live national game commitments on ESPN Saturday, we are unable to move the telecast time.”

The tipoff time of the game has created a political controversy because it directly conflicts with the Kansas Democratic presidential caucuses, which begin at the same time.

That may be an inconvenience for KU students and other fans, who now have to Please see ESPN, page 4A

Bishop Seabury Academy in Lawrence has been named the No. 1 private school in Kansas, according to one ranking. The ranking takes several factors into account, but the school’s headmaster says one aspect in particular is central to the school’s success.

“We don’t want to get too big; we actually cap our grades,” said Don Schawang, who has worked at the school for the past 16 years and been its headmaster for the past nine. “That’s the marrow of the school, and our mission, is individualized attention.”

Director

DEATHS Kenneth Martin Brant Services for Kenneth M. Brant, 90, Eudora, are pending and will be announced by Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home. He died at his home. rumsey-yost.com

DonalD Ray MoneyMakeR No local services are planned for Don Moneymaker, 72, Lawrence, who died Sunday, February 28, 2016 ,at his home. Please see full obituary at rumsey-yost.com

Ellis A. (Don) PEnny, MD Dr. Don Penny passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 16th at Lawrence Memorial Hospital of pneumonia.

Services are set for March 4, 10am at Trinity Episcopal Church, Lawrence, KS. Don was born in 1943 in Garden City, Kansas, to Gordon and Louise Wilson Penny as the third of six children. He was active in Boy Scouts and the Congregational Church and graduated from Garden City High School, where he played coronet and was drum major of the band.

Don attended Emporia State Teachers College for two years as a history major and then served in the Army from 1963 to 1966. His military experience as a psychology and social work technician led to an interest in medicine and psychiatry. After completing his Army service, Don enrolled in the University of Kansas, where he met the woman who would become his wife, Elaine Spillman.

They were married in 1970 in Prairie Village, Kansas and resided in KC,KS for medical school, where Don graduated from KUMC in 1973.

Don soon discovered his love for working with patients, using his gifts of a gentle touch and illuminating sense of humor. His dream was to become a small-town general practitioner.

His was the last class to offer that designation before the change to “family practice.”

Upon graduation, Don accepted an internship in Denver, where he initially worked in the emergency room at St. Anthony’s Central Hospital.

He then took over a 40-yearold general practice in Arvada, a suburb of Denver, where he practiced until 1993.

Many loved him for his healing presence, giving them his full attention and support.

Don’s medical practice and life were interrupted by a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 1989. He immediately plunged into research about the disease, began participating in support groups and became president of the Parkinson’s Association of the Rockies. Support groups were very important to Don because he believed they helped extend the quality and length of lives. He used his gifts of

listening, empathy and humor to help others as a physician and fellow person-with-Parkinson’s.

His retirement from medical practice left loyal patients who stayed in touch with Don throughout his later years.

During their 31 years in Colorado, Don and Elaine loved the mountains and enjoyed skiing. Don also was a wine enthusiast, starting with the discovery of Burgundy wines during a vacation to Europe.

He became a judge at county and state fairs in Colorado and continued to develop his knowledge and appreciation of good wines for the rest of his life. His friends called him Doctorwine. He also enjoyed photography and jazz.

Don and Elaine moved to Lawrence to be closer to family in 2004, where they joined Trinity Episcopal Church and continued their involvement with the Lawrence Parkinson’s Support Group.

Don was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Jack.

He is survived by his wife, Elaine Penny, and a daughter, Elizabeth Stinnett (husband Steve and children Rebecca and K.J.)of Pikeville, Tenn., who adopted Don and Elaine during Don’s medical school years; sister Carolyn Wilken (Marvin) of Fort Worth; brother Gordon M. Penny of Lawrence; sisters Kathy Cline (Garry) of Lakeland, Florida, and Mary Walker of Phoenix; aunt Leona “Dude” Mulligan of Topeka; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and friends. Don also leaves many friends at Pioneer Ridge in Lawrence, where he lived for eight years.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Pioneer Ridge Nursing Care and Assisted Living, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Douglas County VNA Hospice for the excellent care and support they provided to Don and Elaine. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Trinity Episcopal Church, Lawrence Parkinson Support Group c/o Trinity Episcopal church, or Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association.

Norovirus closes City to vote on traffic plan for 800 N.H. work retirement home’s kitchen for weekend

A PEDESTRIAN WALKS PAST THE LARGE GLASS WINDOWS OF THE PACHAMAMAS BUILDING, at 800 New Hampshire St., on Monday. The developers of the planned apartment addition will be asking the City Commission for permits to start the construction this month that will partially shut down the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire streets.

By Nikki Wentling

Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Before construction can begin this month on the newest apartment project in downtown Lawrence, developers must gain City Commission approval today on two key items.

The development group led

by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor is planning a $7 million, four-story addition to the former Pachamamas building at 800 New Hampshire St. The group is seeking approval of its traffic-control plan, which will pare down the 800 block of New Hampshire Street to one northbound lane and one southbound lane for seven months. It’s also looking for rights from the city to 30 feet south of the building, but there’s question as to whether city commissioners will make the group pay for the 30 feet at the appraised value of $70,000.

Bill Fleming, a Lawrence

attorney representing the group, said construction would “commence immediately” following the City Commission meeting. The project is expected to be complete in November or December, the same time as a seven-story apartment project by the same group at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

“We got our building permits ready to go,” Fleming said. “This is the last issue, getting this finalized.”

30 feet for $70,000 The city’s downtown zoning allows for owners to build structures to their property lines. The first item developers must obtain today is a 30-foot easement, allowing the group the rights to the 30 feet of city property south of the building so another structure can’t attach to its southern face sometime in the future.

The 30 feet of space is required to meet city fire codes and provide windows for south-facing apartments.

The question today isn’t whether developers will obtain the easement, but whether they’ll have to pay for it.

With the apartment project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, the city granted free-ofcharge a 30-foot easement to the north of that project. This time, however, city staff is recommending the City Commission vote to charge developers for the space.

Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said the property is “highly valuable,” and the easement would affect a future project the city may do in that space. The lot south of the Pachamamas building is currently a city parking lot.

“Our thought is: it’s valuable, it’s on city property that otherwise would be able to be developed, and the city would be foregoing that,” Stoddard said. “We recognize there is a value associated with it.”

Fleming said the cost was “a little bit of a surprise.”

Kris Kobach endorses Trump; Ron Estes endorses Rubio

K

ansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Monday announced his endorsement of New York billionaire Donald Trump for president, while State Treasurer Ron Estes fell in line with most other elected GOP officials endorsing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Kobach became the first major elected state official to endorse Trump, but his announcement came on the heels of endorsements from two other “establishment” Republicans, former candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

Kobach, who has built his political career on his strident stands against illegal immigration, said that

is his paramount concern in the 2016 elections.

“For me, the most important issue in the Republican presidential contest is immigration and its effect on our national security,” Kobach said. “On that issue Mr.

Trump stands head and shoulders above the other candidates. He has made it clear that ramping up the enforcement of our immigration laws will be his top priority. And he has forcefully rejected the notion of giving amnesty to illegal aliens living in the United States.”

Estes, who has maintained a much lower public profile than Kobach since taking office in 2011, said one of his duties as treasurer is administering the state’s

529 higher education savings program, and he said he believes Rubio is the better candidate to address the rising cost of higher education.

“We must move beyond the idea of throwing more federal money at the problem and encourage a national conversation about the appropriate career education at the appropriate cost,” he said. “More than any other candidate, Marco Rubio has shown a

Tourism-generating grant applications due

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Applications are due Thursday in the first round of a new $150,000 grant program that aims to give a boost to Lawrence events.

The city of Lawrence set aside $150,000 in transient guest tax dollars in the 2016 budget to create a grant program to fund events such as the Free

State Festival and the Lawrence Busker Festival — events or activities that enhance Lawrence’s character and generate more sales tax and transient guest tax revenue for the city.

On Feb. 9, the Lawrence City Commission approved guidelines for the grant program. Going forward, grants will be awarded twice per year,

once in February and once in October, to events that demonstrate a community or economic benefit and “enhance Lawrence’s character,” according to the guidelines.

Applications are due Thursday to Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager.

A new advisory board will review the grant applications. Then, the

board is expected to submit its recommendations to the City Commission on March 29. City commissioners will have the final vote on awardees.

Today, city commissioners will also vote to appoint those who will make up the new advisory board.

consider is a right-of-way permit that would allow the contractor, First Construction LLC, to close parts of New Hampshire and Eighth streets from March through December.

Under the contractor’s traffic-control plan, the entire length of the 800 block of New Hampshire Street would be narrowed to one lane in each direction. Currently, most of the block is three lanes. It narrows to two lanes in the southern half of the block, near construction of the other apartment project.

“They’ve indicated to us Traffic control that both projects — the The second item city one that’s currently undercommissioners will way and this new project

— will both be completed about the same time in late November or December of 2016,” said Mark Thiel, the city’s assistant public works director. “We’re hopeful they’re both done and open then.”

Parking along the south side of the 200 block of Eighth Street would be blocked off during construction, as will the sidewalk on that side of the street, the sidewalk to the west of Pachamamas, and the alley behind it.

The two parking lots both east and west of New Hampshire Street would remain accessible.

On-street parking along the northwest side of

New Hampshire Street would also stay open.

To accommodate nearby businesses, the city is proposing changing 16 spaces in the parking lot on the west side of New Hampshire Street from two-hour spaces to 10-hour spaces, according to a city memo. The city is also suggesting some spaces in that parking lot be designated for use solely by employees of certain businesses.

Contractors met with representatives from the Downtown Lawrence Farmers Market, which will operate in the city parking lot east of New Hampshire Street starting April 9.

Karen Pendleton, of

Pendleton’s Country Market, said it’s been arranged that contractors would remove a boundary fence on Saturdays, opening up more space for vendors.

“It’s not the best,” Pendleton said. “But at the same time, we will have people who live there and look down on us every Saturday morning and say, ‘Hey, I want to be down there with them.’ Hopefully it will be a good thing and bring us more customers. It will affect us, and we’ll have to adjust with everybody else, but once it’s all completed, it should be pretty nice for us, we’re hoping.”

expected to take up those bills after they return to the Statehouse Wednesday to start the second half of the 2016 legislative session.

Among them is a bill that recently passed the Senate that would reduce penalties for first- and second-time marijuana possession.

Bonita Gooch, editor of the Community Voice, an African-American newspaper in Wichita, argued that there is a racial bias in Kansas when it comes to enforcing drug laws.

Citing her newspaper’s analysis of crime statistics from the Wichita area, she said, “If you were in Wichita and you were an African-American, you were 3.8 times more likely to be arrested and charged with possession of small amounts of marijuana, although nationally there is

society,” she said. “Fifty to 67 percent of those people will return to prison. That is the recidivism rate nationally.”

Those numbers could come down, she said, if Kansas expanded programs like hers, or the Mentoring for Success program, operated by the Department of Corrections, which works to line up inmates with jobs and other social services after they leave prison.

She also encouraged the state to adopt a “Ban the Box” law that would remove the question on job applications that require people to disclose their criminal history to prospective employers.

She said 20 other states have adopted such a law, as have the cities of Topeka and Wichita, and the Unified Government

of Wyandotte County.

“If someone could apply for a position and not have to list their felony conviction, it would not guarantee employment, but it would get them out of the automatic rejection pile,” she said. “They deserve to have an opportunity to have a face-to-face interview.”

Last week, the House and Senate marked their annual “turnaround day,” the deadline for most

bills to pass out of their chamber of origin or else die for the session.

Among the bills that survived the turnaround deadline was House Bill 2699, dealing with civil asset forfeiture, and House Bill 2681, authorizing expanded use of diversion programs.

Two Florida residents arrested in Lawrence on Sunday are accused of possessing over 60 pounds of marijuana.

Osmany Perez, 34, and Rosemary Nunez Perez, 23, both of Miami, Fla., were arrested Sunday night on Interstate 70. Both appeared in Douglas County District Court on Monday afternoon for a first appearance.

They face a single felony charge each of possession of more than 30 kilograms — or more than 66 pounds — of marijuana with intent to distribute.

— City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

Both Perez and Nunez Perez required an interpreter to translate the court proceedings into Spanish.

If convicted, the suspects face as much as 17 years in prison, said Douglas County District Judge James George.

Both Perez and Nunez Perez remain in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $150,000 cash or surety. Both are scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. Monday.

At 3:04 p.m. a fire was reported along the building’s walls, said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Lyle Schwartz. Two or three evergreen bushes caught fire, likely caused by a discarded cigarette, he said.

The building was evacuated as the fire was reported, but firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and everyone was allowed back inside again.

On the Democratic side, former Gov. and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has thrown her support behind

former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

tion that really does have a moral obligation,” he said. “And it’s just being completely ignored.”

Walker said KU’s corporate agreement with ESPN should not be more important than that moral obligation. He said the basketball game conflicting with the Democratic caucus time was particularly unfair to KU employees who have to work during the game, as well as other community members such as servers at popular game-watching restaurants and bars.

Both the Republican and Democratic state parties have had their respective presidential caucus dates set for months.

And because caucuses are operated by the parties themselves, rather than by the state, the parties long ago had to reserve time in school gymnasiums, libraries, municipal buildings and other facilities around the state.

And while the date of KU’s game against Iowa State has been set since the schedule was announced last year, ESPN did not settle on the exact time of the game until Feb. 19.

Most Republican caucuses in the state allow voting from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., giving voters in those caucuses time to cast their ballots and still catch the game.

But the rules of the Kansas Democratic Party are more complicated.

Those voters need to be registered and in place before 3 p.m. when the actual caucusing begins.

That’s the same time as the scheduled tipoff in the KU-Iowa State game.

Caucus rules for the Democrats in Kansas also do not allow people to cast advance or absentee ballots. Anyone wishing to participate must be physically present at the caucus site at the scheduled time.

choose between participating in the Democratic caucuses or cheering for their college team.

But it leaves no choice for the students and employees who are required to be at the game, from the school’s band and cheerleaders, to the people who take tickets and work at concession stands, not to mention the players and coaching staffs themselves.

Although Kansas is a solidly Republican state, there are about 427,000 registered Democrats in the state, including roughly 27,000 in Douglas County, where Democrats make up more than a third of all registered voters.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said KU had no say in the timing of the game because, under terms of a contract with ESPN, the cable network has sole authority to set the times of games it broadcasts.

“The Big 12 Conference, of which we’re a member, has a contract with ESPN,” Marchiony said. “That contract with ESPN gives them the right to assign game times. So that’s how the process works.”

Marchiony also said that KU expressed its concerns about the scheduling conflict, but to no avail.

“They just politely declined to change the time of the game,” he said.

The scheduling conflict has stirred controversy on campus, where more than a dozen students and employees took to Wescoe Beach on Monday afternoon to protest the decision, chanting “Game change, let us vote.”

KU student Dan Walker, a senior from Overland Park, helped organize the protest and the “KU Game Change for the Caucus” Facebook page.

Most other elected Republican officials in Kansas, including Gov. Sam Brownback and U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, have thrown their support behind Rubio. Others, including 1st District Congressman Tim Huelskamp, have endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Second District Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, whose district includes materials for the project that’s estimated to save developers approximately $317,000.

Before that vote, the development group pledged to make a $75,000 contribution to the city’s affordable housing trust fund — about the amount the city will be losing in sales tax revenue.

“We’re already providing $75,000 to the affordable housing trust fund,” Fleming said Monday. “This is a little bit of a surprise to us that they would want to be paid for [the easement].”

nothing to say that African-Americans use marijuana at any higher rates.

“What we’ve come to say is, marijuana isn’t the gateway drug, but it is the gateway to prison,” she said.

In 2010, according to information from the ACLU, blacks and Hispanics made up only 17 percent of the population in Kansas, but they made up half the state’s prison population, a level of disparity that was twice the national average.

SuEllen Fried, who works with inmates through the nonprofit group Reaching Out from Within, said Kansas needs to do more to help inmates as they’re being released from prison.

Policy update A proposed new policy should simplify and clarify reimbursement for city travel expenses.

C

hanges to the city’s travel and expenses policy that will be considered at tonight’s Lawrence City Commission meeting aren’t major but they should make the process simpler to understand and to administer.

The city’s policy drew public attention last year when questions were raised about expenses incurred by thenMayor Jeremy Farmer just before he resigned from the City Commission. City officials haven’t linked their review of the city policy to the Farmer case, but the timing of their action probably wasn’t entirely coincidental.

In a memo to the City Commission, Finance Director Brian Kidney said the policy, which was last updated in January 2012, included some guidelines that “were sometimes difficult to follow and tedious to administer.” The update commissioners will review tonight is designed to clear up any confusion.

The most major change is the shift to per-diem reimbursement for meal expenses when city employees or elected officials are traveling on city business.

Instead of being reimbursed for meals based on receipts, they will receive a set amount per day to cover those expenses. The per diem amounts will vary according to the city they are visiting, and the city plans to follow recommended amounts set by the federal Government Services Administration.

For instance, travelers to New York would receive $74 a day for meal expenses. They could spend more or less than that, but they would be reimbursed $74 a day. Neither the employee nor the city staff has to spend time going through receipts and figuring the proper reimbursement. City officials haven’t done a detailed analysis on whether the per diem system for meals will cost the city more or less than using receipts, but it seems like it would be comparable, especially considering the savings in staff time.

In addition to implementing the per diem system, the new policy also gives city employees some additional flexibility on lodging and expressly OKs the use of ride-share services instead of standard taxis or rental cars. It also sets reimbursement limits for extra airline charges: The city will pay the extra charge for one piece of luggage but not for such things as additional luggage or seat upgrades unless there’s a specific business rationale for those charges.

As should be standard procedure whenever the city is considering policies like this one, staff members reviewed similar policies in other cities as well as the current industry standards.

The changes they are proposing should help clean up the travel reimbursement policies and streamline the reimbursement process, as well as lessen the potential for abuse.

GOP’s epiphany may be too late Washington — Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s “Finnegans Wake” under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier

“

If, however, it is too late to rescue Rubio from a Trump nomination, this will be condign punishment for him and the rest of the Republican Party’s coalition of the timid.” to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well.

Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who has wandered out of his “safe space.”

It is not news that he has neither respect for nor knowledge of the Constitution, and he probably is unaware that he would have to “open up” many Supreme Court First Amendment rulings in order to achieve his aim. His obvious aim is to chill free speech, for the comfort of the political class, of which he is now a gaudy ornament.

But at least Trump has, at last, found one thing to admire from the era of Ameri-

ca’s Founding. Unfortunately, but predictably, it is one of the worst things done then — the Sedition Act of 1798. The act made it a crime to “write, print, utter or publish, or cause it to be done, or assist in it, any false, scandalous, and malicious writing against the government of the United States, or either House of Congress, or the President, with intent to defame, or bring either into contempt or disrepute, or to excite against either the hatred of the people.” Now, 215 years after the Sedition Act expired in 1801, Trump vows to use litigiousness to improve the accuracy and decorousness of public discourse.

The night before his promise to make America great again through censorship, Trump, during the Houston debate, said that his sister, a federal judge, “(signed) a certain bill” and that (Supreme Court) Justice Samuel Alito also “signed that bill.” So, the leading Republican candidate, the breadth of whose ignorance is the eighth wonder of the world, actually thinks that judges “sign bills.” Trump is a presidential aspirant who would flunk an eighth-grade civics exam.

More than anything Marco Rubio said about Trump

in Houston, it was Rubio’s laughter at Trump that galled the perhaps bogus billionaire. Like all bullies, Trump is a coward, and like all those who feel the need to boast about being strong and tough, he is neither.

Unfortunately, Rubio recognized reality and found his voice 254 days after Trump’s scabrous announcement of his candidacy to rescue America from Mexican rapists. And 222 days after Trump disparaged John McCain’s war service (“I like people that weren’t captured”). And 95 days after Trump said that maybe a protestor at his rally “should have been roughed up.” And 95 days after Trump re-tweeted that 81 percent of white murder victims are killed by blacks.

(Eighty-two percent are killed by whites.) And 94 days after Trump said he supports torture “even if it doesn’t work.” And 79 days after Trump said he might have approved the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. And 72 days after Trump proved that he does not know the nuclear triad from the Nutcracker ballet. And 70 days after Trump, having been praised by Vladimir Putin, reciprocated by praising the

Assessing the terror threat

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

Fear of terrorism on American soil is now part of our daily lives.

Surveys show how deeply we feel the threat. In December 2015, Gallup reported that 51 percent of Americans worry they or someone in their family will become a victim of terrorism; 67 percent believe that terror attacks are imminent in the United States; and we now rank terrorism as the nation’s most important problem, surpassing the economy and government.

These reactions should come as no surprise.

Talk of terrorism is everywhere. It is a major topic on all news outlets. It is center stage in the presidential debates. It has commandeered the conversations about gun control, immigration, criminal justice, Budig and foreign relations.

And we see heavily armed law enforcement officers guard our public gatherings, major intersections, transportation hubs and government offices.

There is good rea- Heaps son for this reaction. The threat is not imaginary. We are under attack. According to the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, from 2000 through 2014, we suffered 3,064 terrorism deaths in America. (The vast majority — 2,997 — were victims of the 9/11 attacks).

But this new reality poses a basic question for Americans: Does the threat warrant the current reaction?

The answer is “no.” Despite the horrors visited upon us, an examination of the numbers shows that the risk of becoming a victim of terrorism is negligible.

Let’s put the 3,064 terrorism deaths over 14 years into perspective: l According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2013, here in America, we had 38,851 annual deaths from accidental poisoning, 37,938 from traffic accidents, 30,208 from falls and 16,121 homicides. l Put another way, the odds of dying at the hands of terrorists at one in 20 million while the odds of dying from cancer or heart disease are one in seven. l In that same period, we had approximately 225,000 annual preventable deaths from heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases and strokes.

Acts of terrorism are designed to create fear and they have succeeded. And while it is perfectly acceptable to be scared, the kind of fear we now experience is problematic. It causes us to overreact to issues such as immigration and foreign policy and skew our spending priorities so that we divert funds from more pressing problems.

A case in point: In 2013, the 16 spy agencies in the federal government were allocated $16.6 billion for counterterrorism. In that period of time, there were seven terrorism fatalities in the United States. In that same year, the federal government allocated $4.8 billion for cancer research. In that period of time there were 580,350 cancer deaths.

The threat of terrorism is real. Its proponents are brutal and sadistic with no limits or boundaries to the horrors they perpetuate. And there is potential for a future attack — traditional, cyber, chemical or nuclear — that could lead to high casualties.

Our response must be firm, comprehensive and, most importantly, effective. But it must also be proportionate to the risk. America needs an open and ongoing discussion about terrorist attacks, their impact, and our response, a conversation driven by fact not by fear.

— Gene A. Budig is past president of three major state universities, including Kansas University, and of Major League Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a former vice president of the College Board.

Russian murderer and dictator. And so on.

Rubio’s epiphany — announcing the obvious with a sense of triumphant discovery — about Trump being a “con man” and a “clown act” is better eight months late than never. If, however, it is too late to rescue Rubio from a Trump nomination, this will be condign punishment for him and the rest of the Republican Party’s coalition of the timid.

“Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide, /In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side.” So begins James Russell Lowell’s 1845 poem protesting America’s war with Mexico. The Republicans’ moment is here.

We are about to learn much about Republican officeholders who are now deciding whether to come to terms with Trump, and with the shattering of their party as a vessel of conservatism.

Trump’s collaborators, like the remarkably plastic Chris Christie, will find that nothing will redeem the reputations they will ruin by placing their opportunism in the service of his demagogic cynicism and anti-constitutional authoritarianism.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 1, 1916: “Frank Bennett was arrested today on a warrant years charging him with keeping and ago maintaining a gambling house IN 1916 at his hardware store, at 1011 1/2 Massachusetts street.

The arrest came after information had been brought to the office of the county attorney concerning the arrest of a number of gamblers there last week by the police.... Interesting testimony is expected to be heard at the preliminary hearing. When the police arrested gamblers in the cellar of the Bennett store last week the lights were turned out when the police arrived. Evidence has been found which points to the fact that a buzzer system had been installed so that a lookout man in the room above could warn the gamesters below of the approach of any representative of the law. An inquisition which has been in progress at the courthouse for several days enabled the officers to secure information which tended to prove that a fullfledged gambling house was in operation. It is believed that gambling has been in progress there for a considerable period.”

“The ten members of the Kansas University debating squad which will compete against Colorado and Oklahoma universities a week from Friday night, are kept busy reading the current newspapers in order to keep up with their subject. The question, ‘Resolved, that the United States Should Retail the Philippine Islands,’ has been brought before the public recently because of the passing of the Senate resolution providing for allowing the Philippines their independence in four years.”

The effects that construction will have to the surrounding neighborhood will also be discussed Wednesday. A timeline for the project hasn’t been announced, and a news release about the upcoming meeting says only that 19th Street will be reconstructed in “the next few years.”

The half mile of 19th Street is currently two lanes with no dedicated bike lanes and a sidewalk on the south side of the street.

According to 2015 data, 19th Street from Iowa to Naismith was given a pavement condition

index of about 44, classifying it as in “fair condition.” The index gives a rating to streets from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A cruder map of the 2016 index shows the portion of 19th Street remains in fair condition.

The street is part of the approximately 145 miles of Lawrence streets, or 17.5 percent, classified as being fair to poor.

“Nineteenth Street is in poor condition and needs to be reconstructed,” Cronin said.

per year, but Schawang said diversity at the school is important and the school offers financial aid to some students. Schawang said about 28 percent of students receive some level of need-based financial assistance.

Next school year will mark 20 years of operation for the school, which has grown significantly in that time. The school began operating out of the former Kaw Valley Elementary School in 1997 with about 30 students and six teachers.

The move to the school’s current building, which was formerly part of the Alvamar Country Club, was facilitated in part by the late developer Bob Billings. The new facility is located at 4120 Clinton Parkway and opened in 2003.

Schawang said that for a relatively young school such as Seabury, the award is nice recognition.

“I think we have become a more established school in Lawrence,” he said. “I know when I first started a big task we had was to get our name out there, but now I think we’ve established a reputation in town.”

weeks, all-school morning meetings and inclusive afterschool activities — that help all students get to know each other.

That environment is a big part of students’ academic success, he said.

“It seems to be when students are known and valued they’re more likely to take risks academically and more likely to risk failure in order to achieve more,” he said.

Sonja Czarnecki, dean of students at Seabury, agreed that the environment of the school plays a role in the academic achievement of its students.

“The thing that I think makes the biggest difference at Seabury is the relationships students have with each other, with younger students, with older students, with their teachers especially,” she said.

According to the Niche ranking report, the school’s composite ACT score was 29, 90 percent of its students attend a four-year college, and the colleges attended by its graduates were rated A+.

Based on its student demographics — which include 26 percent minority students — the school received a culture and diversity grade of B+.

Tuition and fees at the school are about $14,000

The school’s studentteacher ratio was one of several factors considered as part of the ranking assigned by the review company Niche. Other factors include the average SAT and ACT composite score, the rankings of colleges students go on to attend, and student culture and diversity.

The private Episcopal school is located in southwest Lawrence and serves about 200 students in grades six through 12. The campus includes a main building with classrooms, cafeteria, gym and theater, and another building for languages and the arts.

Throughout the campus on Monday afternoon, not much more than a dozen students per classroom worked on art projects, on computers or practiced foreign language.

According to Niche, the school’s overall student-teacher ratio is 7:1, and Schawang said that classes have between 12 and 15 students. Schawang said that in addition to low ratios, the school has several structures — seating assignments at lunch that rotate every two

NEW YORK RULING FAVORS APPLE

‘SUCCESS DEMANDS SECRECY’

Drug case could affect dispute over terrorist’s iPhone Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

A federal judge in Brooklyn on Monday denied a Department of Justice request for a court order that would force Apple to bypass the security passcode on the iPhone of a criminal defendant in a drug case.

Magistrate Judge James Orenstein’s ruling is likely to influence the outcome of Apple’s fight with the U.S. government over a San Bernardino killer’s iPhone.

The decision sets the stage for appeals that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

“What today’s ruling proves is that Apple’s objections to the order aren’t frivolous and indeed might well be meritorious,” said Steven Vladeck, professor at American University’s Washington College of the Law. Department of Justice spokeswoman Emily Pierce issued a statement saying the government was disappointed by the ruling and plans to appeal it to a Brooklyn district court judge.

“Apple expressly agreed to assist the government in accessing the data on this iPhone — as it had many times before in similar circumstances — and only changed course when the government’s application for assistance was made public by the court,” the statement said.

Apple argued that it should not be forced to violate the privacy expectations of customers who buy its products.

The Brooklyn case centers on Jun Feng, who pleaded guilty in October to a methamphetamine conspiracy. Investigators sought access to his iPhone 5 as they investigated the alleged drug conspiracy. The investigators risked being locked out and losing any chance to recover data stored on the phone if they made too many unsuccessful attempts to bypass the built-in security passcode. As a result, they sought an order to compel assistance from Apple.

Similar cases include the recent California federal court ruling that ordered the tech giant to help investigators break into a smartphone owned by one of the shooters in December’s San Bernardino terrorist attack.

Apple has appealed that order and said the company would continue its objections in the other pending cases.

WASHINGTON

early 20% of the military’s most-treasured medals have been awarded for classified missions since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, according to data obtained by USA TODAY. The secrecy surrounding more than 200 Service Cross and Silver Star awards reflects the reliance on special operations forces involved in classified missions to capture or kill terrorists and free hostages, according to a senior Defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to characterize the commendations.

Last month, the Pentagon announced that officials are reviewing 1,090 awards of Service Crosses and Silver Stars awarded since Sept. 11, 2001, to determine whether any should be upgraded to the nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, 216 medals were awarded in secret for mis-

sions that cannot be publicly discussed, according to the records.

One Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest medal awarded to soldiers, and three Navy Crosses, the equivalent medal for sailors and Marines, have been issued for courageous acts during classified operations. The Navy awarded 112 Silver Stars and the Army 100 for undisclosed actions.

The Air Force has not issued a Service Cross or Silver Star in secret since 9/11.

The data, current as of last week, could change slightly as medals are reviewed.

That one in five of the highest medals have been issued in secret is probably because of the reliance on special operations forces undertaking stealthy missions, the Defense official said. Along with drone strikes, so-called direct-action raids conducted by commandos in secret have become a hallmark of the war on terror, the official said.

Monday, President Obama talked about one of those secret missions when he awarded a Navy SEAL the Medal of Honor.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Edward Byers earned the medal for his role in springing an American doctor held hostage by the Taliban in 2012. Byers’ surpassing heroism is the reason details of the mission were made public.

Medals of Honor are not awarded in secret.

Obama underlined the reason for secrecy in his remarks at the ceremony.

“Given the nature of Ed’s service, there is a lot that we cannot say today,” Obama said. “Many of the operational details of his mission remain classified. Many of his teammates cannot be mentioned. And this is as it should be.

Their success demands secrecy, and that secrecy saves lives.”

Whoops! Google car hits bus — first time it’s at fault Its miscalculation mirrors human error Marco della Cava USA TODAY

After more than a million miles of autonomous driving over the past six years, Google’s self-driving car had never been at fault in the 17 accidents the company reported to the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Until now.

According to a report to the DMV, on Feb. 14 a self-driving SAN FRANCISCO

Lexus SUV owned by parent company Alphabet was testing on the streets of Mountain View, Calif., when it struck a bus while traveling at 2 mph. The incident was the result of road conditions that were compromised by sandbags in a lane, which caused the Lexus to move into the left lane.

The municipal bus was approaching in that lane at 15 mph.

The Google car anticipated that the bus would slow down, while the bus driver believed the Google car would retreat from its effort to merge. There were no injuries, and the accident resulted in damage to the Google car’s left

front fender and some sensors.

In all of its previous accidents, the majority were the result of human drivers rear-ending the Google cars at slow speeds, typi-

cally at intersections where they anticipated the Google car would move ahead.

On Tuesday, Google is to release its monthly report on its au-

tonomous car program. But in a statement Monday, Google acknowledged that its computerdriven vehicle made the wrong decision. It also stressed that the incident reflects the sort of guesswork that goes on between human drivers.

“This is a classic example of the negotiation that’s a normal part of driving — we’re all trying to predict each other’s movements,” the statement read.

Google’s tests are always conducted with legally mandated safety drivers. Sometimes they take over control of the test vehicles but did not in this accident.

Why journalism students need improv classes Paul Singer @singernews USA TODAY

As the digital revolution upends newsrooms across the country, here’s my advice for journalism students: Learn to improvise. Your school has a theater department? Take Improvisational Theater 101 as an elective.

I’ve been a reporter for more than 25 years, so I have lived through a half-dozen technological life cycles. I was a reporter before we had fax machines, and I am still a reporter now that we no longer have fax machines.

But the most dramatic transformations have come in the past half-dozen years. That means I am, with increasing frequency, making stuff up as I go along.

Much of the time in the news business, we have no idea what we are doing. We show up in the morning and someone says, “Can you write a story about (pick one) tax policy/immigration/climate change/the New Hampshire Senate race?” When newspapers had once-a-day deadlines, we said a reporter would learn in the morning and teach at night — write a story that could inform tomorrow’s readers on a topic the reporter knew nothing about 24 hours earlier.

Now it is more like learning at

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Snapchat is an app where users set a time for how long recipients can view photos or videos. the top of the hour and teaching at the bottom of the same hour.

And the question is, “Can you blog/tweet/Snapchat/Skype this?” And the answer should still almost always be: “Yes.” As with any improv scenario, we have to pretend we know what we are doing, react on the fly, trust our skills and instincts, and not fear the unknown.

Snapchat was a mystery to me. Someone asked if I could “Snapchat” the State of the Union preparations in the Capitol. I said “sure.” I do not know whether I did it right, or if anybody saw it, or if it has any longterm value to our readers or our brand. But what the heck. I

learned something new, and every day you learn something new is a good day. It’s why we love journalism in the first place.

Some of this stuff won’t amount to much. Last fall, we created a “Yo” channel for the presidential debates where we sent the key one-liners from the debates to anybody who signed up for “Yo Zingers.” We gave up on it after a couple of tries. Alas!

No mo Yo. My newest adventure seems to have better prospects for survival. I’m running a weekly political podcast (check out USA TODAY’S Cup of Politics!).

When I say running, I mean the whole ball of wax: We got a cou-

ple of microphones, a little converter box that plugs into my laptop and some cheap software, and Voila! — my desk is transformed into a recording studio.

The whole setup fits in a backpack, and during the presidential conventions, we should be able to use it to do real-time interviews anywhere. The system uploads more or less instantly, so I can go from recording an interview to live on the website in about 10 minutes. And beyond the podcast, I have been interviewing my colleagues about their stories, and the results become digital ornaments we can add to articles on the website or tweet on their own or post on

Facebook.

All of this is improvisation. I have no idea what I’m doing.

But neither does much of the news business these days. My colleague Trevor Hughes got a 360-degree video camera and has been experimenting with how to use it for news purposes.

“I’ve found 259 ways it doesn’t work well,” he told me. But the 360-degree video he made of the launch of the largest firework in the U.S. is outstanding.

All of these things — the tweets, the Snapchats, the podcasts, the 360 videos — are just new ways to tell stories, which is what we are in this business to do. Used properly (and they are not always), they do not supplant reporting but enhance it, as long as we stick to our core values: We are trying to bring our readers/viewers/listeners stories that engage, inform or entertain them, while respecting both the audience and the subject of the story.

These tools open a whole host of interesting questions. For instance, the Senate has a press gallery for print reporters and another for broadcast reporters.

If I got to a press conference and shoot live video on my iPhone, posting it to Twitter via Periscope, which am I? Or, as we said in improv class, “Who’s my character?”

My character is still a reporter. I am just increasingly working without a script.

Possibility of party split weighs on Republicans A win by Trump is a loss for the GOP, rivals say, as they turn up the heat

David Jackson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Republican voters weigh in on the presidential race in 11 states Tuesday amid toxic rancor among the candidates and an emerging party split over the prospect of a Donald Trump presidential nomination.

While Trump predicted a series of victories that would all but end the contest, opponents Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson made their final pitches ahead of Super Tuesday — and most argued that a Trump nomination would destroy the GOP’s chances in the fall.

“A vote for Donald Trump tomorrow is a vote for (Democrat) Hillary Clinton in November,” Rubio told supporters in Atlanta.

Cruz, campaigning in his home state of Texas, told reporters that a contest between Trump and Clinton would involve “two rich New York liberals” who agree on too many things.

While Trump leads the polls in nearly all of Tuesday’s states — Cruz’s home base of Texas is the

exception — the Texas senator said the real goal is delegate acquisition.

“What’s going to matter Wednesday morning is delegate count,” Cruz said. “How many delegates do you have?”

The candidates are scrambling for 595 Republican delegates on Tuesday — nearly half of the 1,237 needed to win the nomination.

States holding GOP contests include Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

Cruz and Rubio have stepped up attacks on Trump, calling him a divisive figure who is not really a conservative. Trump, during an appearance in Virginia, dismissed the complaints of “Little Marco” and “Lying Ted” as the attacks of candidates who are far behind.

In criticizing Rubio, Trump said the Florida senator “had to come up with something because he’s getting creamed in the polls.”

The winner of three of the first four Republican contests, Trump is starting to pick up endorsements from current GOP office holders, including New Jersey

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Gov. Chris Christie and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.

Other Republicans, however, are questioning whether they will ever support Trump if he becomes the nominee.

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., in a Facebook post, said he would never back the New York billionaire and would look for “a third candidate” if faced with the choice of him and Clinton.

Citing Trump statements ranging from praise for Russia’s Vladimir Putin to pledges to “open up” libel laws in order to sue more journalists, Sasse said that “Mr. Trump’s relentless focus is on dividing Americans, and on tearing down rather than building back

up this glorious nation.”

Rivals continued to hammer Trump on the stump Monday, including his reticence over the weekend to repudiate the support of former Ku Klux Klan official David Duke.

Kasich, the governor of Ohio, is not expected to garner many delegates on Tuesday, but predicts he will beat Trump when his state holds its primary March 15.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson repeated his vow not to exit the race anytime soon. In an op-ed on the Fox News website, Carson said, “I refuse to play by Washington’s political rule book, or subjugate myself to the whims of the political class.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Sunday at a rally at the Madison City Schools Stadium in Madison, Ala.

Clinton begins day in super position She shifts fire away from Sanders to GOP

“Republicans want ... to go back to trickle-down economics,” Clinton said during a rally at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on Monday.

Heidi M. Przybyla and Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

FAIRFAX , VA . Hillary Clinton’s main target is Sen. Bernie Sanders no more.

Fresh off a resounding victory in the South Carolina primary, the former secretary of State is lambasting the Republican primary field on everything from health care to the economy as she prepares for a series of Tuesday contests expected to help tighten her grip on the Democratic presidential nomination.

Massachusetts to the north and Georgia to the south demonstrate the diverse combination of primary races she’s favored to win on Super Tuesday.

She’s also leading in larger, delegate-rich states that come later in the month, including Florida.

Given the favorable landscape, Clinton appears to have turned her fire on Republicans.

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

“Republicans want to sell the same snake oil. They want to go back to trickle-down economics,” Clinton said during a rally at George Mason University in Fairfax, blasting the GOP for loosening regulations on Wall Street and turning an eye from the mortgage market.

During an earlier appearance in Massachusetts, Clinton criticized Republicans on Social Security (they want to privatize it and “give the trust fund to Wall Street,” she said); resistance to investments such as manufacturing, infrastructure and green

energy; opposition to increasing the minimum wage; and their plan to end Obamacare.

She’ll spend Super Tuesday night in Florida, which hosts a pivotal contest on March 15.

Sanders spent his last day of pre-Super Tuesday campaigning in Minneapolis and Milton, Mass., then headed to his home state, Vermont, on Monday night.

Since Saturday, the 74-year-old democratic socialist has visited Texas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Colorado, as he aims to amass delegates and pick up wins in the 11 states that hold Democratic

contests Tuesday. “My request to you is, let us make history tomorrow,” he said in Minneapolis.

Much is at stake for Sanders, whose crushing defeat in South Carolina’s primary on Saturday, where African Americans backed Clinton overwhelmingly, put him 26 pledged delegates behind Clinton. She holds a much larger lead among superdelegates in the race to the 2,382 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

“Without at least 60% of the delegates awarded on Super Tuesday, it will be difficult for Sanders to have a path to the nomination,” said David Caputo, a political science professor at New York’s Pace University.

Gaudiano reported from Minneapolis.

FIVE TAKE-AWAYS FROM LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS IN IRAN Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

About 60% of the electorate cast ballots in Friday’s elections, including these women at at Ershad Mosque in Tehran, Iran.

Reactions ranged from caution to optimism for Iran’s future after strong gains by moderate candidates in Iran’s parliamentary elections on Friday.

Here are five take-aways: WHAT IRANIANS WANT

MAJID SAEEDI, GETTY IMAGES

A woman votes in the parliamentary and assembly elections in Qom, Iran. Early results indicated support for Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

Analysts said voters endorsed the more moderate leadership of President Hassan Rouhani, who promised to improve an economy crippled by international sanctions.

That is why he backed a deal with world powers to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions.

His supporters reportedly won a majority in both the parliament and a clerical Assembly of Experts charged with choosing the next supreme religious leader, who runs the country.

About 60% of eligible voters — 33 million people — cast ballots.

“The people want to move forward,” said Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, an associate professor at Northwestern University and an expert on Iran politics.

IMPACT ON U.S. RELATIONS

The question going forward is whether Iranian hard-liners will comply with terms meant to deter Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons for at least 10 years.

U.S. STUDENT DETAINED IN NORTH KOREA APOLOGIZES

STUDY: ZIKA CAN CAUSE GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME

An American student who was arrested in North Korea apologized Monday, begging the Korean people and government for forgiveness for his “crime.”

North Korea said it arrested Otto Warmbier, a 21-year-old University of Virginia undergraduate student, last month for allegedly “perpetrating a hostile act” against the regime.

Warmbier was presented to the media in Pyongyang on Monday, where he apologized for trying to steal a political banner.

— Jane Onyanga-Omara

For the first time, researchers have shown that the Zika virus can cause Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare condition in which the immune system attacks nerve cells and causes paralysis.

Five Latin American countries with Zika epidemics — Brazil, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia and Suriname — have reported increases in Guillain-Barre syndrome. Until now, however, doctors didn’t have scientific evidence showing the virus triggers the condition.

The new evidence comes from a study published Monday in The Lancet.

— Liz Szabo

United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki Moon said a temporary cessation of hostilities in Syria was holding “by and large” Monday, a day after the Syrian opposition said that attacks by the army and Russia threatened the agreement.

Ban told reporters in Geneva that he wanted the deal extended beyond the initial two weeks and said he received a letter from the Syrian umbrella opposition group, the High Negotiations Committee, urging the U.N. to help “specify the territory covered by the truce to prevent hostilities in the designated inclusion zones.” — Jane Onyanga-Omara

THE NUCLEAR DEAL

Experts agreed that the vote signaled strong support for the accord, though both moderates and hard-liners favored the part of the deal that lifted sanctions.

“This is a population that’s outward-looking. They’re tired of being unemployed. They’re tired of the effects of the sanctions. They want to reach out to the world,” Hurd said. The question going forward is whether Iranian hardliners will comply with terms meant to deter Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons for at least 10 years.

OBAMA’S LEGACY

Hassan Rouhani

“One election is not going to change everything.”

Alireza Nader, a senior international policy analyst at RAND Corp.

It is too soon to tell whether President Obama’s push for the nuclear deal and better relations with Iran are validated by the election.

Some analysts see good news for Obama’s legacy, others point to past elections in which moderates prevailed while human rights abuses and anti-American policies remained unchanged or grew worse. “Even if the parliament moves more toward the center, I don’t think it’s going to become more reformist,” Nader said.

ISRAEL, IRAN’S SUPPORT FOR TERRORISM

A more moderate government is unlikely to lead to any significant change in policy toward Israel, which Iranian leaders consider to be an avowed enemy, or Iran’s backing for U.S.-designated terrorist groups such as the Hezbollah militia based in Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and many Republicans in the U.S. Congress have warned that Iran is likely to use some of the tens of billions it gets from a lifting of sanctions to support terrorist groups.

years ago — with an extensive series of questions about Second Amendment gun rights.

The case involved two Maine men barred from owning firearms under a federal law because of previous state domestic violence convictions. The men argued that the convictions did not merit the lifetime ban, and Thomas apparently agreed.

“This is a misdemeanor violation. It suspends a constitutional right,” Thomas told Ilana Eisenstein, the assistant solicitor general arguing the federal government’s case. “Can you give me another area where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?”

That prompted a give-and-take in which Thomas spoke 11 times and asked nine questions. He noted that gun possession is a constitutional right “at least as of now,” a reference to a regular flow of state and municipal laws regulating that Second Amendment right. The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in 2008 upholding the use of guns at home for self-defense was written

by Scalia.

The federal law was intended to deny guns to people convicted of violent acts against family members, based in part on research showing they are more likely to use guns in the future.

degree murder. Thomas whispered something to Scalia, seated on his left, who then pointed out that one member of the legal team graduated from Yale, another from Harvard.

“Well there, see, he did not provide good counsel,” Thomas said, as if to denigrate a Harvard Law School degree compared with his own degree from Yale.

iPhone used by San Bernardino killer Syed Rizwan Farook is hitting just as an expected 34,000 cryptographers, chief information security officers, programmers and the like gather here.

Overall, this year’s conference focuses on the nuts and bolts of computer security: encryption, industrial control systems, digital identity, breaches and how to fight them.

While always important to tech companies, the Apple case is raising awareness about the technical issues that create the security and privacy, or lack thereof, in the products we use daily.

There will always be a tension between the public’s expectation of protection from the government and concerns about government intrusion, Cisco CEO Carl Bass told USA TODAY last week.

“I don’t think we will ever get to the point where nothing can be broken. Go back in history — there were locks and people who picked locks. There were secret codes and code breakers. These things will always be able to be broken,” he said.

The U.S. security establishment will be working to get its voice heard at the conference.

Tuesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch will deliver a keynote on cybersecurity and then participate in an armchair conversation on the topic. Assistant Attorney General John Carlin of the National Security Division will also talk about terrorists’ use of social media and the Internet.

A topic likely to garner lots of interest is the hackability of selfdriving cars. The duo who made news last year by hacking into a Jeep Cherokee, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, will offer a workshop titled “Intro to Car Hacking.”

Both now work at Uber’s Advanced Technology Center in Pittsburgh, a strategic partnership between Uber and Carnegie Mellon University. The center focuses on research and development in areas like vehicle safety, mapping and self-driving cars.

The conference ends Friday with a question and answer session with actor Sean Penn. He’ll be interviewed by RSA President Amit Yoranabout his philanthropy and public advocacy and the relationship between Hollywood stardom and privacy.

Penn most recently was in the news in January for a controversial meeting with Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán for Rolling Stone magazine.

The exact nature of Penn’s expertise is unclear. He himself wrote in Rolling Stone in January that he is “the single most technologically illiterate man left standing. At 55 years old, I’ve never learned to use a laptop. Do they still make laptops? No (expletive) idea!”

Carl Icahn’s hedge fund plunge worst since 2008 Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who briefly flirted with a stint as Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary, posted his worst investment losses since the financial crisis as declines in oil and other commodity prices continued to drag on his portfolio.

The 80-year-old investor’s hedge fund lost 18% last year as investments in companies such as Chesapeake Energy Corp. were crushed by fears a global economic slowdown could crimp demand for oil, copper and other commodities. That follows a loss of 7.4% in 2014, also due to declining energy prices.

“2015 was a challenging year, to say the least,” Keith Cozza, chief executive officer of Icahn Enterprises, said in a conference call Monday. “We are quite disappointed in our results.”

MICHAEL NAGLE, GETTY IMAGES

Icahn’s hedge fund lost 18%.

The billionaire, known for his public battles with large companies, posted a loss of 36% in 2008 due to the mortgage meltdown.

He came back strong, however, with a 33% gain in 2009, a 15% rise in 2010 and a 35% gain in 2011 — a year when most hedge funds lost money. Since its founding in 2004, the fund, which also shorts stocks, has returned 9% annualized, the company said.

Icahn’s 2015 losses come as U.S. ratings agency Standard & Poor’s has warned it may cut Icahn Enterprises’ credit rating to junk status due to its heavy commodity sector losses. S&P placed the company’s unsecured debt on “CreditWatch with negative implications,” the agency said in a February statement.

S&P warned the company has been spending cash at a time when it has debts coming due, including $1.175 billion in senior unsecured notes in January 2017.

Indeed, despite the losses, Icahn continues to spend on new investments, including $1 billion to buy auto repair chain Pep Boys, announced late last year.

Monday, auto supplier FederalMogul said Icahn also agreed to pay $7 a share to buy up the stock it does not currently own.

Cozza said the Federal-Mogul purchase should cost $210 million. If approved soon, the cash would come from Icahn’s investment portfolio. Otherwise it will come from money expected to be freed from planned saving from integrating Pep Boys with Auto Plus, another automotive maintenance company Icahn owns.

Disney launches higher prices on busier days Visitors will pay ‘value,’ ‘regular’ or ‘peak’ for admission Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Walt Disney’s theme parks in California and Florida are so popular, prepare to pay more if you go when everyone else wants to.

Disney is the latest company to adopt pricing that rises during the most popular times, a trend likely to continue.

The giant entertainment company Sunday launched “demand pricing,” where one-day ticket prices rise if you visit during seasons the park is most crowded.

The surging popularity of Disney parks on both coasts is giving the company the pricing power to

raise prices without hurting demand — a classic example of what economists call “inelastic demand.” Attendance has soared 10% at the company’s U.S. parks last quarter, highlighting the unprecedented demand that only intensifies as the company adds new attractions.

The stakes are big. Adopting price hikes — in addition to opening a new park in China — could allow Disney’s parks business to eclipse its ESPN sports network in terms of profit in just two years, according to data from market research firm Trefis.

Shares of Disney rose 21 cents to $95.52 Monday, the first day of trading after the changes were instituted.

Analysts think the move is bullish for the profitability of the parks. “Given a high fixed cost base, I think it’s obviously something that should foster con-

DISNEY PARKS

On peak days, one-day admission for both Disney parks in Anaheim, Calif., will rise 20% to $119 for adults. tinued margin expansion for the domestic parks — which also depends on the how long those price increases might be sustainable,” says Tuna Amobi, analyst at

S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Depending on when they go, customers will either pay the “value,” “regular” or “peak” day prices. Peak days include those

times when the parks are the most popular, including most of December and also spring break and weekends during most of the summer. Value days fall mainly between Monday and Thursday during months the park is less busy.

Prices can swing faster than the Mad Tea cups based on when you go. On peak days, one-day admission for both parks in Anaheim, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will rise 20% to $119 for adults.

One-day tickets had been $99 before the change. Going during “value” days cuts the price 4% to $95, and regular days go for $105.

The ticket price hikes are similar in Orlando. If you visit Florida parks during the peak times, the one-day price jumps to 18% to $124. Regular days cost $110 and value days go for $105 — the previous price of tickets.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Stocks have been beat up so badly this year some investors figure shares just have to rebound.

Not so fast.

There’s no question market pain is reaching levels that start to turn heads and cause investors to wonder if they should brace for more pain or start looking for opportunities to buy on the cheap.

Due to the market’s sell-off, 67% of the 129 subindustries in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are trading below their average prices over the past 40 weeks, Sam Stovall of S&P Global Market Intelligence says. At its lows this year, 87% of subindustries were below their 40-week moving averages.

Such extreme levels of selling have signalled bottoms were

notched several times in history, Stovall says. Stocks rallied in the months following such extreme selling after corrections that ended in 2003 and 2011, Stovall says.

This is giving the bulls some confidence the rebound we’re seeing now is real.

But more recent history shows stocks can repeatedly fall to extreme oversold levels. During bear markets that ended in 2002 and 2009, the number of subindustry groups trading below their 40-week averages dropped to extreme levels twice. If these more recent examples are a guide, they indicate the recent rebound could easily lose steam and test the lows again. Stovall says investors shouldn’t take too much faith in the 40-week indicator.

“Little encouragement can be garnered” from the fact so many industry groups have dropped below the trading indicator, he says.

Grocer quietly climbs past Whole Foods

Q: Can Kroger remain a hot stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When you think of stocks that are up big, a familiar grocery store name might not come to mind. Or should it?

Shares of Kroger are up 170% over the past three years and have gained 11% over the past 12 months. That’s a standout performance if you consider the Standard & Poor’s 500 is up just 29% over the past three years and is down 8% over the past year. Kroger shares are now blowing away Whole Foods, which had been the grocery food stock to watch for years.

Kroger will give investors a new data point this week that will indicate if it is keeping the momentum going. The grocery store company is expected to report 4% higher adjusted profit in the fourth quarter when it delivers results March 3, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

The company’s revenue is also seen rising 4% to $26.3 billion.

Shares of Kroger and many other food companies have been getting a lift in this market as investors get defensive and look for profits that can hold up or even rise if the economy softens. But Kroger will need to show it can keep delivering the goods. At Monday’s closing price of $40.20, it’s no longer cheap at nearly 20 times trailing earnings and just 9% away from analysts’ average 18-month price target of $43.80 a share.

The drumbeat of financial challenges followed Valeant last week saying it would delay filing its annual report with the SEC pending completion of an ad hoc committee’s examination of the company’s dealings with Philidor Rx services, a specialty pharmacy company that distributed the drugmaker’s medications.

The drugmaker cut ties with Philidor in late October after a report issued by activist short-seller Andrew Left’s Citron Research accused Valeant of creating an apparent “network of phantom captive pharmacies” to steer

pharmacy benefit managers to Valeant’s more expensive drugs, instead of less-costly alternatives.

Valeant denied the allegations, saying it was an effort to drive down the company’s stock value.

Morningstar analyst Michael Waterhouse on Monday said the drugmaker’s withdrawal of financial guidance and delay of the earnings call “suggests there might be more pain ahead as the company continues to struggle with fallout from its discontinued relationship with Philidor” and works to rev up a new prescription distribution agreement with pharmacy giant Walgreens.

New cable channel takes H2’s place with ‘looser’ mix of shows Bill Keveney USA TODAY

Music, food, travel, marijuana and comedy are refracted through the Vice prism in Viceland, a new cable channel that begins its original programming lineup Tuesday.

Viceland, which replaces A&E Networks’ H2, is a new outpost for Vice Media, the growing mobile and digital media company that aims for a diverse audience of young adults. While Vice continues as a news program on HBO, Viceland will focus more on lifestyle.

“It’s an exploration of the world around us through interesting, unique people,” says Eddy Moretti, co-president of Viceland along with director Spike Jonze (Her, Adaptation). “It is connected to all of the interests and passions that Vice has, excluding the straight-up news elements.

Viceland, which is available in about 70 million homes, displays its non-traditional approach with Monday’s launch, presenting 13 hours of phone messages from people offering suggestions for the network. The prime-time lineup premieres Tuesday through Thursday, with first episodes already available online.

Viceland programs feature intriguing mixes, including Noisey (Tuesday, 10 p.m. ET/PT), a music-documentary series that explores sociopolitical issues; F - - -, That’s Delicious (Thursday, 10 p.m. ET/PT), which focuses on rapper Action Bronson’s love of different cuisines; and Gaycation (Wednesday, 10 p.m.), a travel show hosted by actress Ellen Page and her best friend, Ian Daniel, that explores LGBTQ culture around the world.

“I love travel shows. That was the really exciting thing for me,” says Page (Juno, Freeheld), who traveled to Japan, Brazil, Jamaica and around the USA for the show.

“We’re so grateful to be learning so much. We’re so humbled by these extraordinary activists we meet around the world. I hope that reaches other people, too. To have the community be represented — that’s the goal.”

In 2009, director Toni Myers was talking future IMAX projects with narrator Leonardo DiCaprio while putting the final touches on their film Hubble 3D. DiCaprio told her he had loved the groundbreaking look at Earth in the 1990 IMAX film Blue Planet.

That got the wheels turning.

“I told (DiCaprio) that I wanted to do another film looking at Earth. So much had transpired in the 20 years since Blue Planet,” Myers says. “It was time for another look at our home from space.”

This awe-inspiring second look at Earth, A Beautiful Planet, will come to IMAX screens nationwide April 29, narrated by Jennifer Lawrence. The trailer premieres Wednesday at USATODAY.com.

Myers, who directed, wrote and edited Beautiful Planet, and photography director James Neihouse worked in conjunction with NASA to train the crew of the International Space Station to capture the stunning footage of Earth.

Part of the new look of Beautiful Planet comes with the advent of digital cameras. IMAX film in the past had been too slow to cap-

“That’s what digital capture gives you,” Myers says. “The lights at night give a sense of how

populated the world is. It’s quite magical. You see things like aurora borealis and moonrises. I am thrilled with the broadening of the palette we got with digital.”

The ISS astronauts also capture the visible challenges Earth

faces, from deforestation in Madagascar and the Amazon to fracking fires in the Gulf of Mexico.

“The film might serve as an inspiration to young people to think of ways to solve the Earth problems we are facing — from new energy sources to sustainability ideas,” Myers says.

From an astronaut’s perspective, seeing Earth on massive IMAX screens is the closest thing to being in space. NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren shot footage during his five-month ISS stint, which ended in December. Seeing cities and entire countries from that vantage is “indescribably beautiful,” Lindgren says. He captured his highlight when cruising over a highly active aurora borealis.

“With all of that experience, flying over the aurora borealis was only one time I got goosebumps up there. Not on the horizon — you fly over the top of it,” Lindgren says. “That’s where the training kicks in. To be able to capture that for audiences is really a triumph.”

Lindgren is eager see the IMAX film that could bring him back to the ISS windows, where Earth occupies astronauts’ full range of view.

“I can’t wait to see the movie, not only to see how all the things all of us worked on came together,” Lindgren says. “But I want to see if it transports me to that time on the space station. I’m looking forward to seeing that.”

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

BRIEFLY Few young men know of Plan B Denver — Less than half of young men have heard of emergency contraception, a recent study found, even though it’s available over the counter at drug stores and is effective at preventing pregnancy after sex.

The study, published in the March Journal of Adolescent Health, analyzed survey responses by 93 men ages 13 to 24 who visited the adolescent medicine clinic at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora for a physical exam, illness or injury from August to October 2014. Most had been sexually active.

Although 84 percent of the teenage boys and young men said they believed avoiding pregnancy was very or somewhat important, only 42 percent had heard of emergency contraception, according to the study.

If taken by women within five days of unprotected sex, emergency contraceptives can prevent ovulation, thus preventing pregnancy.

In 2013, the Food and Drug Administration approved one branded emergency contraceptive, Plan B One-Step, for sale over the counter without a prescription for all women. The next year, the agency said generic versions of the pills could also be sold over the counter without age restrictions.

Eighteen percent of sexually active women reported in 2013 that they had used emergency contraception sometime in the previous two years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

New HIV risk numbers released Atlanta— The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week issued a new set of statistics related to HIV risk for men.

According to the CDC, one in six gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV: one in two blacks; one in four Hispanics; one in 11 whites. In contrast, the rate of infection for heterosexual men is one in 473.

Based on HIV diagnosis and death rates from 2009 to 2013, the CDC report also found that people living in Georgia and other parts of the South are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV compared with other Americans.

LaMar Yarborough wasn’t surprised by the news.

Yarborough, 23, who is black and has AIDS, lives in Georgia, where HIV — the virus that causes his illness — is still raging. Abstinence-only sex education and poverty are contributing to its spread, said Yarborough, an HIVprevention activist.

“We kind of saw this coming,” said Yarborough, who was diagnosed with AIDS about five years ago after having unprotected sex with men and women.

“It is not shocking.”

Kansas nation’s worst on HPV vaccine Associated Press

Cancer hospitals urge adoption; vaccine highly effective, government finds

Kansas City, Kan. — The Kansas University Cancer Center is joining nearly 70 other cancer centers in sounding an alarm about the high number of children who are not being vaccinated against a virus that causes cancer.

Kansas ranks last in the nation in the percentage of girls who have received the HPV vaccine, and Missouri isn’t far behind.

Fewer than half of girls in both states receive the

vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Both states also rank low for the number of boys who are vaccinated, The Kansas City Star reported.

“It absolutely breaks my heart,” says Dr. Terry Tsue, physician-in-chief at the KU Cancer Center.

“We have two vaccines against cancers that are caused by virus, the hepatitis B vaccine and the

HPV vaccine. Otherwise, we don’t have a vaccine that prevents cancer.”

Since its introduction a decade ago, federal researchers reported last week, the vaccine has reduced the virus’ prevalence among teenage girls by almost two-thirds.

Even for women in their early 20s, a group with lower vaccination rates, the most dangerous strains of HPV have still been reduced

by more than a third, the New York Times reported.

“A minority of females in this country have been immunized, but we’re seeing a public health impact that is quite expansive,” said Dr. Amy B. Middleman, the chief of adolescent medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

Where to get the vaccine The HPV vaccine is available at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St. For more information, visit ldchealth.org or call 785-843-0721.

Silipigni raised $55,583 for the 2015 Relay for Life, and since 2001 he has raised more than $347,000 for the cause. So far this year, Silipigni has raised more than $20,000.

Bob’s fundraising pro tips l Be thick-skinned and have a support group. “There have been days when I’ve had to talk with somebody before I went to sleep that night,” he said. l Definitely carry a cellphone, and remember that safety is key. If you choose to go door-to-door, try to take a friend and go only during daylight hours. Safety is key. l Persist — that’s really the key.

‘Kicked in the head’ Yes, Silipigni is all about the fight, and his mission. He chooses to get out of bed every day to do what he does, and he is passionate about the cause. But he’s not the eternal optimist, and the many deaths each year begin to take their toll. Even as the donations mount, enabling researchers to chisel away at the massive medical enigma of our time, the death counts rise.

“For the first five years I did this, I just felt positive and upbeat about it because it was a worthy cause,” Silipigni said. “Then eventually, staying with it long enough, once I got to about the 10-year point, then some of my donors contracted cancer.”

After a couple more years, he said, most of those donors had gone into remission — but not all of them.

“Over the last three years now, some of my longtime donors have passed from cancer, too. And that — it affects your thought process, especially if the people were kind to you. There’s a remorse,” Silipigni said.

Last week, he got a phone call he’d been dreading: a lifelong friend died, about six months after receiving a sudden diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer.

Doctors had looked for blood clots in her legs, but upon finding nothing, decided to check her lungs, Silipigni said.

“She says, ‘Bob, my life was just calming down, and when the doctor told me what was going on,’ she said, ‘it was like being kicked in the head,’” Silipigni recalled.

That friend joins a few more of the people he’s been closest to: his grandfather, uncle, employer and dog, Linus, who died from a brain tumor. Those losses, and the losses of donors who had become friends, prey upon Silipigni’s mind.

“For the last 24 hours (since I got the call), I’ve been walking around — I’m even questioning myself, why I’ve been doing this for the last 15 years,” he said.

And often when it’s not cancer, it’s something else. He’s lost donors to ALS, and he has friends experiencing symptoms of diseases that have yet to be diagnosed.

Sometimes, it’s the cancer treatments.

“Some people tolerated as much as they could of the drugs.

They tried to beat the cancer, and they did,

Bob’s picks The shoes: Skechers hold up to his particular wear and tear.

What’s for breakfast? Silipigni skips the pancakes and eggs. He generally eats chicken with vegetables or fruit. A cup of coffee (with a dash of cream) helps him kickstart his day.

Snacking on the road: He likes glutenfree waffles and the occasional snack from a donor.

Rehydrating: “There’s nothing like filtered water, as far as I’m concerned, and that’s what I’ve been told by some doctors and neurologists,” he said.

He is also in the top 10 individual fundraisers nationwide.

a woman gave him one of the most delicious pastries he’s had in his life; another gave him a dozen eggs, fresh from the chickens she keeps.

“It’s kindnesses like this that keep you going,” he said. “If you don’t have rewarding interaction with people, you’re not going to keep doing it.”

Treats like those are wonderful, but the friendships he’s developed with so many people are the true rewards. He even has Christmas dinner with a family he first met when collecting a donation.

“I don’t know how much time I have ahead of me, but someday when this stops, I will always have a gratitude to so many of the people in this community who’ve had me in their homes and treated me as they have,” he said. “I will always be indebted to them and appreciative.”

And he said he’s honored to have kept in touch with many donors who have moved out of town over the years.

“I miss seeing those friendly souls in town, and when I walk by their houses, I think of them. I do,” he said.

Sex-ed class caters to girls, parents

By Karrey Britt Special to the Journal-World

Parents need and want to be involved in the sexuality education of their children, but often do not know how to discuss it at age-appropriate levels.

“Kids Need to Know,” the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s family-based sexuality education program, is geared for fifth- and sixth-graders. Reproductive body parts and purposes, puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and sexually transmitted diseases are discussed. Decision-making skills are emphasized.

Videos, games and other interactive activities help make the classes fun and interesting.

The class meets for two hours once a week for five weeks. The course begins with a parents-only night where curriculum and materials are discussed and any questions are answered. Following Parents’ Night, the class continues with weekly parent-child sessions for four more weeks. One parent accompanies the child to each class.

Tsue said he is stunned by what people don’t know about HPV and noted that roughly 70 percent of parents apparently don’t know that the vaccine is recommended for boys as well as girls.

In addition to preventing so-called “female” cancers — cervical, vaginal, vulvar — the vaccine also prevents cancer of the throat, which three times as many men as women get from HPV, he said.

Twenty percent of patients with HPV-related throat cancers die within five years, he said. Eighty percent of men and women in the U.S. will be infected with at least one type of HPV at some time in their lives, he said.

“Our practitioners aren’t aware of the magnitude and this kind of tsunami of cases,” said Tsue, a head and neck surgeon. “Throat cancer related to HPV is growing up to 5 percent a year.

No other cancer is growing like that. And it will surpass cervical cancer caused by HPV by 2020.”

Health professionals are battling misinformation and misconception among the public, Tsue said.

Many parents mistakenly think HPV has something to do with HIV, while others equate the vaccine with sex because the virus is most commonly transmitted sexually. It also can be transmitted with-

“We prepare our kids for lots of things they will need to know in life. I can’t think of many things more important than making wise decisions about sexual activity. I also can’t think of better resources than parents,” said Sue McDaneld,

Family Planning nurse practitioner at the Health Department. “Sometimes parents need a little help to be sure their child gets accurate information and that’s where we can help.”

The cost is $50 per family. There is a minimum enrollment of 12 families and a maximum enrollment of 15 families. Registration must be received one week before classes begin.

out sexual contact.

Parents have responded to polls by saying their children don’t need the vaccine because their children aren’t having sex. Some also believe that having their children vaccinated will somehow give them free rein to have sex or will promote promiscuity, though studies have shown that’s not the case.

“So your 10-year-old who has no idea what the shot they’re getting is will subsequently go out and have sex the next week because they got

a shot that prevents the HPV virus?” says Tsue.

“That’s (what) we’re dealing with.”

Fear of the vaccine’s safety is among the most frequent reasons parents give for not having their children vaccinated, according to a study in Pediatrics in 2013.

The medical community considers the vaccine one of the safest around.

“All this bad press about vaccines, how it kills people, how it causes autism, all false,” says Tsue.

Years before the “space race” b e g a n , Stapp’s pilots traveled to the very edge of space via helium balloons, rising to heights exceeding 100,000 feet, breaking new altitude records and testing the endurance of the human body in the unforgiving regions at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere. Many of the missions launched near Minneapolis/St. Paul, because of the proximity to the balloon manufacturer.

In the mid-1950s, the Air Force brass looked down on the very notion of space exploration, dismissing it as “Buck Rogers stuff” and a waste of time and money.

Ironically, after the launch of the Soviet Sputnik satellite in October 1957, the Air Force suddenly discovered that they had a little space program in their own backyard. Unfortunately for the “Space Men,” the federal government established NASA and told the Air Force to shut down its balloon program.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, March 1: This year you are very strongwilled and can be quite disciplined, if you so choose. You often find yourself caught in the crosswinds of expectations and reality. If you are single, you will meet someone just by doing your own thing. If you are attached, the two of you often disagree or trigger each other.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You will hear what someone else says, but you can’t seem to make sense of his or her words.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Others will respond to your inquiries, as long as you ask on a one-on-one basis. Tonight: You need to let go of tension.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ An associate might have given you the cold shoulder the last time the two of you spoke.

Perhaps you’ll want to schedule a late lunch with this person. Tonight: Listen rather than react.

which, although wellintentioned, we disagree with.

Please gently suggest to your son that he speak about these things with the child’s pediatrician, to be certain he is caring for his son in the best possible way. If he disagrees with his wife’s childrearing methods, he should not be a coward about it. Even so, there are limits to what you can do about your relationship with your grandson other than continue to keep in touch, visit whenever possible and maintain the most compassionate communication you can with the boy’s mother.

Smart call: KU just plays to win

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Austin, Texas — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self conveyed a simple message to his veteran players on the bus ride from the team hotel to Texas’ Frank Erwin Center on Monday night.

“Coach told us we don’t want to share anything. We want to win it outright, so we had to MORE be focused ONLINE c o m i n g n Check down here. out our He told us to YouTube have fun out page at there (bewww.kuscause) there ports.com/ wasn’t really kusportsoany presnyoutube sure on us,” for video KU senior highlights forward Jaand other mari Traylor hoops said after the videos. newly ascended No. 1-ranked Jayhawks (26-4, 14-3) wrapped up the undisputed Big 12 title, courtesy of an 86-56 rout of No. 23 Texas (19-11, 10-7).

KU had grabbed a share of the title and clipped the nets in Allen Fieldhouse after Saturday’s victory over Texas Tech.

“Tonight we were a joyful team,” Self said of the Jayhawks, who raced to a 15-0 lead, led by as many as 33 points in the second half and wound up claiming the second-biggest Big 12 road victory in the Self era.

KU pounded Texas Tech by 35 points in the 2011-12 season in Lubbock.

“We played like a team proud of getting a piece of the Big 12 championship and wanted to validate that to everybody by playing well tonight,” Self said.

Please see KANSAS, page 4D

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS (34) DRIVES TO THE BASKET for two of his 15 first-half points. Ellis finished with a game-high 20.

Austin, Texas — The hottest coaching candidate in America when he was at VCU, first-year Texas coach Shaka Smart knows as well as anyone how difficult it is to win a conference regular-season title because he never won one, even though he took one team to the Final Four.

Smart also knows that Kansas University hasn’t won 12 consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles without the Jayhawks leading with their chins and never backing up.

Kansas didn’t just win Monday night in the Erwin Center, it won by a firstround TKO, slamming the Longhorns 86-56 after jumping to a 15-0 lead.

“They do a really good job of playing to win,” Smart said. “I know that sounds simple, but you can play to win, or you can play not to lose. And at Kansas, there is such a small margin of error, because internally and externally, the expectation is excellence. I would imagine at that type of place it would be easy to kind of have the mindset of, ‘We can’t mess this up,’ or, ‘We don’t want to end this streak.’ They don’t play like that.”

Kansas, which moved to the top of the Associated Press earlier in the day, certainly didn’t play not to lose Monday night against a Texas team that Please see KEEGAN, page 5D

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

NFL

Foxborough, Mass. — Tom Brady reportedly has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the New England Patriots.

The deal will significantly lessen Brady’s salary-cap hit for 2016, which would have been about $15 million. He was due to make $9 million next season and $10 million in 2017.

Brady, 38, has often redone his contract to help the Patriots’ cap situation. He has said he plans to play well into his 40s.

The agreement was first reported by ESPN. Brady also renegotiated his contract in 2013 to help reduce cap hits. New England was $13.6 million under the 2016 cap of $155.27 million before extending Brady.

Brady, of course, is an alltime great who could wind up the NFL’s leader in many career passing categories. He’s been to six Super Bowls and 10 AFC title games, including the last five.

Top cornerbacks compete at combine Indianapolis — Jalen Ramsey finished the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds Monday, easily beating Vernon Hargreaves as they vie to become the first cornerback selected in this year’s NFL Draft.

Hargreaves, who played at Florida, was clocked at 4.50 in the final workouts at the league’s scouting combine.

Ramsey, of Florida State, also had the best vertical jump, 411⁄2 inches, and the longest broad jump, 11 feet, 3 inches, among defensive backs.

NFL teams are trying to determine whether the 6-foot1, 209-pound Ramsey will play cornerback or safety.

The biggest surprise Monday may have been Purdue’s Anthony Brown, who ran a 4.35 in the 40 and did 19 reps on the bench press to finish among the top three in both categories.

NBA

Green apologizes for halftime tirade Oakland, Calif. — Golden State power forward Draymond Green has apologized to his teammates, coaches and the organization for an emotional outburst during halftime of the Warriors’ 121-118 overtime victory Saturday at Oklahoma City.

Green said after practice Monday: “I admit my mistakes.

I made a mistake. I admitted my mistakes to my teammates, my coaching staff. I apologized to my teammates and my coaching staff, this organization.” He said such a tirade won’t happen again, insisting “that’s not who I am.”

Reigning MVP Stephen Curry, questionable for today’s game against Atlanta due to a tender left ankle, said it is Green’s emotional personality that makes him so valuable. Curry also was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday for his fourth such honor this season — the first in franchise history to win four in one season.

He averaged 43.8 points, 7.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.50 steals as the Warriors went 4-0.

BASEBALL

Bucs’ Cole not happy with 2016 salary Bradenton, Fla. — Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington has acknowledged the team errantly computed Gerrit Cole’s salary offer for 2016, which led to a public spat with their ace pitcher.

The Pirates initially offered Cole a $538,000 contract, which was a $7,000 increase over his base salary last year. According to Huntington, that was a franchise-record pay hike for a player with only two-plus years of big league service time.

However, Cole’s total earnings last season were $541,000 because he got a $10,000 bonus for making the National League All-Star team. Huntington said on Sunday the team “made a mistake.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Iowa State clips Cowboys with big baskets to help the Tar Heels stay in control. Berry’s two free throws with 6.6 seconds left made it a two-possession game, helping UNC hang on to first place in the ACC.

The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 21 Iowa St. 58, Oklahoma St. 50 Ames, Iowa — Abdel Nader scored 19 points, Georges Niang added 17 with 10 rebounds, and Iowa State held off Oklahoma State on Monday night in Niang’s final home game.

Jameel McKay had six points with 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (21-9, 10-7 Big 12), who clinched their fifth consecutive winning season in conference play.

Iowa State broke open a tight game with an 11-0 run to start the second half. The Cowboys made it interesting late, closing within 53-47, but ultimately fell to the Cyclones for the seventh straight time.

Tavarius Shine, Jeff Newberry and Joe Burton each scored nine points for Oklahoma State (1218, 3-14), which has lost five straight.

Iowa State also honored seniors McKay and Nader, both in their second season at Iowa State, before tipoff.

Niang moved into the starting lineup as a freshman and later became a crucial part of Iowa State’s first Sweet Sixteen team in 14 years. Last sea-

Kansas women fall to TCU, 55-52 BOX SCORE

J-W Staff Reports

Fort Worth, Texas — Kansas University women’s basketball held the lead for much of the first three quarters before falling behind in the fourth, then nearly erasing a seven-point deficit to TCU with 40 seconds to play.

The Horned Frogs ultimately held off the Jayhawks to claim a 5552 win on Monday night inside Schollmaier Arena.

Six straight points, capped by a three-point play from sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge brought the Jayhawks (524, 0-18 Big 12) to within a point with 25 seconds left.

After a pair of made free throws from TCU senior Zahna Medley, Aldridge earned yet another and-one opportunity, this time to bring the score level. Aldridge missed the free throw, and sophomore Chayla Cheadle missed pair of free throws, and TCU escaped with the victory in the regular-season finale.

Aldridge and freshman guard Kylee Kopatich led the Jayhawks with 10 points each.

Medley led the Horned Frogs (16-13, 8-10 Big 12) in scoring with a gamehigh 21 points. Medley shot just 4-of-12 from the field, but was perfect at the charity stripe, sinking all 10 of her attempts.

Senior forward Caitlin Diaz scored 14 points on 50 percent shooting and tied freshman center Jordan Moore for a team-high seven rebounds.

Both teams struggled to find a find a rhythm in the early going. Kansas grabbed a 6-2 lead with a three-pointer from junior

TCU’s six first-quarter points marked its lowest output in the opening frame this season and the Jayhawks’ best defensive effort in the first 10 minutes, as well.

Smart: Texas didn’t avoid letdown

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

Austin, Texas — Both basketball teams playing a Big 12 game in the Erwin Center were coming off emotional victories two days previous. One handled it well, the other poorly.

“Kansas was terrific,” Texas coach Shaka Smart said. “They played really well. Their guys shot the ball well and attacked. I thought they played really free and loose and aggressive. Part of that was, our defensive energy and toughness and fight was nowhere near where it needed to be.”

Both coaches said they discussed with their players the importance of not experiencing an emotional letdown in the wake big victories. Kansas clinched a tie for the Big 12 title Saturday with a victory against Texas Tech in Allen Fieldhouse. Texas used a 22-0 run late in the game Saturday to score a comeback victory against Oklahoma.

“Kansas was terrific, but from our end, from the Texas end, that was one of our biggest issues tonight,” Smart said of guarding against an emotional letdown. “We didn’t handle (the emotional hangover from) Saturday well. That was a really big win.”

Texas point guard Isaiah Taylor, battling plantar fasciitis in a foot, was in a great deal of pain Sunday, according to Smart, but decided to play Monday. He didn’t play well and made just one of 10 shots fro the field and had one assist in 28 minutes of action.

Smart didn’t use that as an excuse and was just answering questions about Taylor honestly.

“They’ve gotten better,” Smart said of the Jayhawks. “They’ve really played to their strengths, and they’ve also really Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photos improved on the defenKANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) PASSES BENEATH THE BASKET against Texas in the Jayhawks’ 86-56 rout Monday in Austin, Texas. sive end.”

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

KU, which won its 12th straight league crown — eight of them undisputed, four in which KU tied with another league squad — also won big on a day the Jayhawks returned to No. 1 in the AP and USA Today polls.

“We were No. 1 before, and it lasted all about a week or the next game,” Self said of a two-week stint at No. 1 in January.

“The guys knew if we didn’t play well tonight that would not be the case next week. They were turned up tonight.”

Texas, which defeated Oklahoma at home Saturday, missed its first 14 shots on the school’s Senior Night for a whopping six players. KU led 15-0, 28-9, 32-11, 41-19 and 44-23 in the first half.

Perry Ellis had 15 points the first half and 20 in the game off 9-of-11 shooting.

KU hit 64 percent of its shots and went 11-of-16 from three. UT hit 30.2 percent of its shots and was 3-of-13 from three.

Frank Mason III hit three threes and scored

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) CELEBRATES ON THE COURT near Texas guard Javan Felix in the Jayhawks’ lopsided victory over UT. 14 points, while Devonté Graham hit three threes and scored 13.

“That was the motivation,” Graham said of winning the league title with one game to play and not sharing it with anybody.

“After we celebrated last game, we didn’t want to come out flat and think

the league was over. We wanted to come out and win it outright.”

He explained what’s been going on with the team since the end of Saturday’s game at 1:30 p.m.

“We didn’t do much (except) jumping around in the locker room with coach. We went out to

eat as a team (Saturday night),” Graham said.

“Yesterday we practiced 45 minutes, not too long.

We went over their stuff, just to get our minds right for today.

“Our coaches do a great job getting us prepared and with scouting report, how to guard their actions.

Watching film on Texas and going over their stuff helped us mentally.”

Self was pleased with everything but 11-of-24 free-throw shooting.

“Tonight we were about as good as we’ve been all year,” Self said.

“We were skilled tonight.

We made a lot of good basketball plays. We got on the floor and carried out assignments, (but) we’ve not rebounded the ball in two weeks.”

Any concerns Self had about perhaps being fat and happy after clinching a tie Saturday “were alleviated early,” Self said.

“I was shocked at how much energy we had in a short practice. Today we were really good at shoot-around. It obviously meant something to the guys tonight. They were on point, focused. Perry was unbelievable. Frank was great. Wayne (Selden Jr., nine points) was solid.

Devonté had another really good game. We made the extra pass. When we got open looks we made them. We were fortunate they were not able to knock as many down.”

KU will meet Iowa State in a Senior Day contest at 3 p.m. Saturday in Allen.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR SWINGS ON THE RIM after a filthy dunk in the Jayhawks’ 86-56 victory over Texas on Monday in Austin, Texas.

NOTEBOOK

Traylor throws down ‘big-time’ slam

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jamari Traylor accepted a pass from Devonté Graham and put down a thunderous alley-oop dunk midway through the second half of Monday’s 30-point rout of Texas in Frank Erwin Center.

“It was the best dunk we’ve had this year. I don’t know about overall.

He put his elbow on the rim,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of the violent flush. “He was up there.

That was a big-time play.

It was a perfect pass, just big-time.”

Traylor, who suffered a cut on his right elbow that needed four stitches to close in the locker room after the contest, was mobbed by his teammates after the slam.

“The bench was going crazy. There were so many people talking to me at one time it was hard to comprehend,” Traylor said. “It’s good to get all those guys pumped up.

“I have to give all the credit to Devonté for throwing it to me,” Traylor added. “I just went up to get it, and that’s it. We practice it every day. We break the press down and end it just the way we did it.”

The dunk over Eric Davis gave KU a 67-36 lead.

“I saw him go up. I

hit a three-pointer to trim the deficit to 18-9.

Texas (19-11, 10-7) shot .302 overall and became the sixth Kansas foe in the past seven games to make less than 38 percent of its field-goal attempts.

The Longhorns shot .231 from three and became the fifth foe during the 10-game winning streak to shoot worse than 28 percent from three.

This spot on the sched-

ule reeked of letdown for Kansas since it came two days after a net-cutting ceremony.

“They looked like a team tonight that said, ‘Hey, we’ve already clinched a share of the Big 12 title, we’ve got our senior game coming up on the weekend, let’s go on the road and see if we can take these guys out.’

And they just went after it,” Smart said. “On our

side, we didn’t put up anywhere near the level of resistance that you have to against a team like that.”

Kansas coach Bill Self chalked it up to the visiting team having a good night, the home squad a bad one and said something about if the teams played again it would be a 50-50 game. I’ll take Kansas. Any takers for the other side of that?

l

Romo in stands, hallway: Self visited with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in a hallway after the game.

Did he visit the team in the locker room?

“No,” Self said with a smile. “He didn’t come to watch Kansas. He came to watch Texas. It was good to see him. That was fun.”

Romo sat with tight end Jason Witten in courtside seats, along with former UT quarterback Colt McCoy.

l

No. 1 again: KU’s basketball team, which was ranked No. 1 in the country in the Associated Press poll for two weeks in January, is the first school to return to the top for a second time during the 2015-16 season.

The Jayhawks on the last day of February received 63 of 65 first-place votes, runner-up Michigan State netting the other two. MSU was No. 1 for a month, Oklahoma and Villanova for three weeks, North Carolina and Kentucky two weeks.

The AP reports that the

six schools to reach No. 1 is one off the record set in 1982-83.

KU, which also returned to No. 1 in the USA Today coaches poll Mon-

ing in play-to-win mode.

“They have what I call approach goals. They just go after it.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D The new normal for Kansas, winner of 10 contwo days earlier had secutive games, is looking used a 22-0, five-minute a lot like the old normal stretch to defeat Oklaho- from special seasons ma, the No. 1 team in the past. Attentive, relentless nation earlier this season. help defense, terrific ball “The credit goes to their movement, smart shot coach and their coaching selection, players chasing staff and their players,” loose balls as if they were Smart said of Kansas stay- $100 bills, reliable bench.

But even by the standards of a program that has won 12 consecutive Big 12 championships, Monday’s 30-point slaughter of Texas was particularly jaw-dropping.

Defense? Texas missed its first 14 shots and didn’t score until more than 61⁄2 minutes had elapsed.

From there, Texas drew within single digits just once, when Tevin Mack

day, has been No. 1 in 60 AP polls throughout history. That’s fifth all time behind UCLA (134), Duke (127), Kentucky (115) and North Carolina (113). KU

Shaka impressed: Texas coach Shaka Smart on KU’s winning 12 straight regular-season league titles: “It’s unheard of actually at this level. You look at a team like Gonzaga that’s been so dominant

in their league (West Coast Conference). You are talking about the Big 12, which the past few years has been the best league in the country RPI wise and has had 70 percent of its teams in the NCAA tournament.

“It’s a terrific run they’ve been on,” Smart added. “I think the credit goes first and foremost to coach (Bill) Self and his staff.

They are the ones that are the constant over that 12year period. They They’ve had really good players over those 12 years. Those guys have bought into the staff’s plan. They have an expectation they are not just going to win but do the things that go into winning.

“Everyone wants to win, but are you willing to do all the little details and all those things that go into winning? Frank Mason does that. Perry Ellis does that. Once players move on that mindset is pervasive in the program.”

Smart was asked if it’d be better for the league if KU was knocked off its throne.

“It’d be better for everybody else in the league,” he said with a laugh. “Certainly it’d be better for the other nine schools if one of us could jump up in there and break that streak, but I don’t think it’s bad for the league at all.”

holds the longest active streak for consecutive weeks ranked (140 in the AP; 147 in USA Today).

Last week’s No. 1, Villanova, drops to No. 3, followed by Virginia, Xavier, OU, Miami, UNC, Oregon, West Virginia, Louisville, Indiana, Utah, Maryland, Purdue, Iowa, Duke, Arizona, Baylor, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Kentucky, Texas, SMU and Cal.

guess he got boosted up a little bit (by Davis),” Graham said with a smile.

“He (Traylor) can’t get up that high. It was a great finish. We were just being aggressive and taking what the defense gave us. It was a nice play.”

FRANK MASON III (0) COLLIDES with Texas forward Connor Lammert in pursuit of a possession.

Maker to visit this weekend: Thon Maker, a 7-foot senior forward from Athlete Institute in Ontario, Canada, will make an official visit to KU for Saturday’s Iowa State game, Maker’s guardian, Ed Smith, tells zagsblog.com and sny.tv.

Maker is also considering Arizona State, Indiana, St. John’s, UNLV and Notre Dame. Smith has said Azubuike may not commit to a school until he’s been cleared academically by the NCAA. He has said he does not want a similar situation to that of Cheick Diallo, who was not cleared for participation until after the season had started. l
