GOV. SAM BROWNBACK SHAKES HANDS WITH KANSAS SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE LAWTON NUSS after delivering his State of the State address.

Brownback stands by tax plan in address Reveals few details on how he plans to close budget hole which President-elect Donald Trump and Republican leaders in Congress have vowed to repeal.

“The new Congress and administration in Washington are setting to work repealing and replacing Obamacare, dramatically rewriting the Medicaid program,” his written speech said. “Promises of limitless ‘free’ money from Washington to cover expanded populations were never going to be kept, but that reality might now arrive sooner than later.”

In a pre-recorded Democratic response, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, blasted the governor’s speech.

“To put it simply: Governor Brownback’s economic policies have caused our state to go broke and we are faced with a budget shortfall of nearly $1 billion,” he said.

“Is there any wonder Sam Brownback has become the most unpopular Governor in America?”

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback offered few details Tuesday night about how he plans to close the state’s looming budget crisis, but he signaled that he is not willing to compromise on his signature tax cuts or his refusal to expand the state’s Medicaid program.

In his seventh State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature, Brownback called for a new school finance plan that would include merit-based pay for teachers, as well as the establishment of a dental school at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

But on the key budget and tax issues confronting the state, Brownback gave no sign that he is willing to change the core positions that have defined his tenure as governor, particularly his elimination of income taxes for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners.

SENATE MINORITY LEADER ANTHONY HENSLEY OF TOPEKA and members of the House and Senate Democratic caucuses respond to Gov. Sam Brownback’s 2017 State of the State address Tuesday evening.

“Kansas was the first state in the nation to pass such a small-business tax policy focused on lifting the income burden from job creators,” his written speech said. “With two-thirds of Kansans working for small businesses, this policy is targeted support

that Kansans have used (to) increase pay for their employees,” as well as holding prices down for their products and expanding their businesses.

Brownback also indicated he is unwilling to consider expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act,

While Gov. Sam Brownback was preparing to deliver his State of the State address Tuesday, his nominee for Kansas Secretary of Revenue was laying out the case for keeping the tax cuts that Brownback championed in 2012.

Speaking Williams to the Senate tax committee Tuesday morning, Sam Williams conceded that estimates made in 2012 about the impact those tax cuts would have on the economy were “too aggressive,” and that forecasters did not realize how a “rural recession” would affect future state revenues.

LAWRENCE SCHOOL BOARD

President insists on orderly meetings

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school board is going into the new year by reflecting on the tumult that dominated board meetings in the final weeks of 2016, while also offering potential pathways to increased public participation in 2017, including by Harmon insisting on civil conduct at meetings.

School board president Marcel Harmon at Monday’s meeting sought to set a new tone for meetings in the year ahead, beginning with a few acknowledgements and apologies — and also some demands.

Address

said. “I too have taught.

Educators are not simply working a job; they are fulfilling a calling. For those teachers leading the way, going above and beyond their duties,

funds should be available to provide merit based pay increases.”

Brownback also proposed two higher education initiatives: a scholarship program that he announced earlier for students who want to become teachers and teach in hardto-fill subjects or rural school districts; and a challenge to the state’s colleges and universities to offer a bachelor’s degree program for a total, four-year cost of $15,000 or less.

But Brownback offered no details about how to structure such a degree program, saying only, “I trust that Kansas colleges and universities are fully

capable to rise to this call.”

Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who has worked as an administrator at the University of Kansas — where the standard, in-state undergraduate tuition and fees total more than $5,200 per semester, or $45,580 for a four-year program under the compact rates — called that idea unrealistic.

“I don’t know where you could get that,” she said. “You could start, but you need additional money. You’re going to need scholarships, you need to work a job, you’ll have to do a lot of other things in order to make that happen, but that is not realistic.”

In the health care arena, Brownback reiterated plans he announced last week to expand residency training programs in rural parts of Kansas and to bring a privately funded school of osteopathic medicine to Kansas.

But he added to those initiatives Tuesday night, calling for establishing a dental school at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

All of those initiatives, he said, are intended to relieve a critical shortage of health care workers in Kansas, particularly in rural areas.

“Kansas does not have a dental school and remains dependent on

out-of-state schools,” his written speech said.

“This is not a long term solution. My proposed budget has money to begin the development of a Kansas dental school at the University of Kansas Medical Center.”

KU officials briefed the Kansas Board of Regents in August about the possibility of opening a dental school. They estimated the start-up cost at about $43 million and said it would require another $5 million a year in state general fund support.

Democrats said they support the concept of many of the initiatives Brownback offered, but said that it’s unlikely the state can afford any of them.

“The concept of a dental school is great.

We have no money,” House Minority Leader Jim Ward of Wichita said. “The idea of teacher scholarships for underserved or needy areas is very good. Where does the money come from?”

Details of how the administration proposes to pay for those initiatives while also closing the looming budget holes will be unveiled starting at 9 a.m. today when the administration begins briefing the House and Senate budget and tax committees.

the owners of more than 330,000 farms and business entities from paying income taxes at all.

Williams, who is expected to come up for confirmation hearings later in the session, argued that the tax commonly known as the “LLC exemption,” which has exempted more than 330,000 farmers and business owners from paying any state income tax, has been successful in sparking new business growth in Kansas.

But he said the persistent revenue shortfalls the state has experienced since then are not due to the tax cuts themselves, but rather a faulty forecasting process and a prolonged “rural recession.”

“Because of various reasons, at the time of the 2012 bill, when the fiscal notes were written, assumptions were too aggressive in that fiscal note, and that was com-

pounded in the (revenue estimating) process,” Williams said.

“Also, I think it’s important to understand what has been going on in the economy,” he said.

“The last five years, the revenues in the state of Kansas have increased about 0.3 percent each year. In a normal economy, our receipts would have increased at a 2.6 percent annual rate. … if we had just grown revenues at a normal rate, we would not be sitting in the position we are in today.”

Williams specifically cited declining oil and gas prices and low farm commodity prices for lowering personal income in rural counties, resulting in lower-than-expected sales tax collections.

The Brownback administration has been furiously defending the 2012 tax cuts because the 2016 elections produced a shift

in both the House and Senate in favor of Democrats and more moderate Republicans.

More than one-third of the members of the House and Senate this year are incoming freshmen, and many of them campaigned on a promise to reverse Brownback’s tax policies, particularly the LLC exemption.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, took issue with a statement in a handout that Williams had used which said the “key question” in the tax policy debate is, “who is best suited to grow the Kansas economy, the government or the private sector?”

“I understand that it’s important to put money back in the pockets of families and individuals, but I don’t see them as the ones that are going to be building and repairing our highways,” Francisco said.

Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, who is the ranking minority member on the tax panel, said after the hearing he doesn’t accept the idea that the state’s financial problems are being caused by a “rural recession.”

“Make no mistake.

Yes, there is a recession in certain parts of our state,” Holland said. “But once again, it’s as plain as the nose on your face, we have a structural deficit problem because of the tax program in 2012 that’s been implemented.

And we have to address that. And to try to brush this off (by saying), ‘Well, other states are seeing the same trends’ — well, yes they are, but they’re not seeing the same financial disasters we have as a result of what we’ve implemented.”

and eventual resignation of a South Middle School teacher who was accused of making racist comments in class last fall.

On Tuesday, Harmon said he did not believe those feelings — cries for transparency in the South case, as well as overarching concerns about racial equity — were unjustified. What the school board won’t tolerate, he said, is disruptive behavior that breaks from standard protocol and derails the regular business of board meetings.

In the second half of his speech, Harmon outlined changes to meeting structure that he hopes will maintain productivity as well as meaningful public engagement.

“The last several board meetings have seen one meeting completely disrupted and, in others, some uncivil and repetitive patron commentary, distracting to the point where important reports about board goals aren’t receiving the focus and scrutiny they deserve,” Harmon said Monday in his report. “We’d like to see that change.”

His remarks Monday asked commenters to follow the requests listed on the sign-up form for audience participation: “This is your time to share your opinions, but we ask that you avoid making comments of a personal nature about any district employee or student, including the

use of personal names,” the document reads. “We also request that you remain civil when speaking and/or listening.”

Protocol also asks that people limit comments to five minutes each, and that one person be appointed to speak on behalf of the group in the event that several people have the same comments to share.

The process hasn’t been altered since the Dec. 12 meeting that was adjourned abruptly amid audience outbursts and police being called to district offices, Harmon said. Rather, his remarks on Monday night served as a reminder of policy that perhaps hasn’t always been adequately publicized, Harmon told the Journal-World.

During his report, Harmon also said that “if we become aware of threats made against district employees, board members, parents or other community members working with the district, either in person, electronically or via social media, we will report that to the authorities, and it may also result in the person(s) being banned from district properties.”

Harmon later told the Journal-World that he wasn’t aware of any specific threats, but that he had heard about some statements made on social media platforms that could be construed that way. Dec. 12’s meeting

was unusually “aggressive,” Harmon noted, and involving the authorities would only happen as “an absolute last resort” to maintain order.

“If something were to occur down the road, and people weren’t thinking and did something or said something that resulted in being banned, I don’t want that to happen,” Harmon said Tuesday.

“Let’s be clear now in case anybody hadn’t really thought about it before. It is policy, and part of what’s come out of all of this is that we’re not always as clear with the public as we need to be.”

Public participation at school board meetings can provide important feedback on board goals, Harmon said Monday, as well as a stepping stone for community members to become more actively engaged as partners in the board’s educational mission.

And part of that is the observance of meeting structure, Harmon said.

“This doesn’t mean that you can’t be critical of the board, administration or teachers/staff, or show emotion,” he said Monday. “You can even ask for the resignation of every board member. We simply ask that you do so in a civil manner.”

Police Links to the survey can also be found on LPD’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The questions address topics like citizen access to complaint forms regarding the department and increasing the role of the current Citizens’ Advisory Board for Fair and Impartial Policing.

The survey also asks users whether the department should introduce body cameras, collect data on race for calls to service and add a sergeant position to “manage professional standards and accountability.”

Alongside the multiple choice questions the survey also allows users to submit their own brief written responses. Those who take the survey can choose to do so anonymously or to have their responses published on the website with their names.

As of Tuesday morning, the city has received less than 10 responses, but there’s plenty of time before the 12 a.m. Jan. 21 deadline. So if you have a few thoughts, head on over to the website.

Brownback’s budget director, Shawn Sullivan, is scheduled to outline the details of the administration’s budget plan this morning. The most recent revenue forecasts show the state will fall about $340 million short of what it needs to fund the current year’s budget, and another $583 million short of what would be needed to fund a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, assuming no major spending cuts or revenue increases are enacted.

Brownback did, however, say that his proposed budget would be balanced, “in that it reconciles spending with available revenue.”

In addition to balancing the budget, lawmakers face the daunting challenge of writing a new school finance formula this year to replace the one they repealed in 2015, at Brownback’s urging.

Brownback has said he does not intend to offer a specific funding formula, but he did say he thinks it should include merit pay for teachers, something that teachers unions have generally opposed.

“Two of my children teach,” Brownback

Cuts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But he continued to insist that the basic principle behind the 2012 tax cuts is sound.

“I want to remind us, first of all, of the purpose of why the 2012 law was created,” Sam Williams told the Senate tax committee Tuesday morning.

“It’s based on the premise that small business is the engine that creates jobs in the economy.

“This policy was created to allow individuals to make independent decisions with money they can have in their pocket by reducing taxes to create jobs.”

During his State of the State address later that day, Brownback urged lawmakers not to reverse those tax policies, particularly one that exempted

Meetings CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“I wanted to start out this evening by acknowledging that just as institutional racism and unconscious biases still exist in society, so do they still exist in Lawrence’s schools, and that our students of color and other minorities thus unjustly bear the resulting pain and hardships that impact their success, health and happiness, now and in their futures,” Harmon said during his customary president’s report at Monday’s meeting. “And that their families are understandably concerned and even outraged. As board president, I will personally apologize for my own slowness in making such a clear and concise acknowledgement during any of my previous reports, as well as my slowness in pushing for the community conversations that will be critical for us moving forward.”

And so began Harmon’s five-minute speech that, in its first half, recognized the “general angst,” as he later described it, of the parents and community members who regularly spoke out — sometimes in a manner that Harmon and many others found disruptive — at board meetings following the investigation

KU community gives input on chancellor search at forum

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

University of Kansas students, faculty and staff opened up Tuesday about what they’d like to see in their next leader.

A picture emerged of a person who is not afraid to tackle some of the university’s most unflattering problems head-on.

About 40 people attended an open forum at the Kansas Union to gather input for the KANSAS KU chancellor UNIVERSITY search, hosted

by David Dillon, chairman of the KU chancellor search committee, and Bill Funk, president

of the search firm R. William Funk and Associates.

While the search will be closed — meaning no candidates will be publicly disclosed except the person who is ultimately hired — Funk said the Kansas Board of Regents was “very emphatic” about search leaders meeting with constituency groups.

He and Dillon said input

would be used to help create a profile by which to vet candidates. The full 25-member chancellor search committee has its first meeting on Friday.

KU’s current chancellor, Bernadette Gray-Little, has announced plans to step down at the end of this school year, and the Regents’ stated goal is to have a new chancellor hired

and ready to start by July 1.

Funk asked attendees what they saw as major challenges for the new chancellor, what kind of person they think would be best equipped to handle them, and what should be touted about KU to convince the best candidates to consider KU.

Prof files 2nd lawsuit alleging discrimination

A University of Kansas assistant professor has filed a second lawsuit, this time in federal court, claiming that anonymous and negative student evaluations led to the university discriminating against her.

On Friday, the pro-

Police release photos of robbery suspect

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Police Department released two photos on Tuesday of a man suspected of robbing a Lawrence business.

Between Sunday night and Monday morning, three armed robberies were reported in Lawrence, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. No injuries were reported in the incidents, and investigators do not believe the crimes are connected.

The most recent robbery

took place at 7 a.m. Monday in a business within the 1800 block of West Second Street, Rhoads said. There, a 59-year-old woman told officers that she was robbed by a man wielding a hammer.

In all, $300 in cash was stolen from the business, the report says.

A second robbery was reported around 9:30 p.m.

Sunday near the intersection of West Campus Road and West Hills Terrace, Rhoads said.

Sen. Francisco tries different tactic in gun debate A

s the 2017 legislative session got underway Monday at the Statehouse, everyone’s attention was focused on the state’s looming budget hole and the inevitable debates over tax policy and school funding. But waiting in the wings are a number of other issues, including one of particular interest in Lawrence and other university towns: concealed handguns on campus.

On July 1, a new law is scheduled to take effect that will require colleges and universities, including the University of Kansas, to allow anyone who is eligible to carry concealed weapons to do so on campus, and in any building on campus, unless the school provides adequate security to ensure that nobody can bring a weapon into the building.

The law also applies to other public buildings, including City Hall and the old County Courthouse, as well as

Lawsuit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“I would really like to see reinstatement, primarily,” she told the Journal-World. “But I would also like to see the university follow its own policies.”

Joritz said she is representing herself in both lawsuits.

KU spokesman Joe Monaco declined to comment on the pending litigation.

Joritz said she taught professionally in Germany for 30 years, but returned to the United States to be near her mother, who is elderly and infirm.

According to her lawsuits, Joritz accepted a position at KU as a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Film and Media Studies in 2012. In the spring of 2014, she taught a basic video course for the first time and several students were “dissatisfied with the course.”

However, the students did not speak to Joritz, the lawsuit states, but complained instead to then-department chair Tamara Falicov, who told them to write their thoughts in anonymous student evaluations at the end of the semester.

“The student evaluations included handwritten angry, aggressive, anti-German comments, including criticizing (Joritz’s) pronunciation of words and the fact that (Joritz) talked about Germany, in and outside of

The third robbery was reported around 8:45 p.m.

There, a 16-year-old girl told

‘‘

I would also be very interested in delaying the implementation of the gun requirements, particularly to give us chances to make sure that all those people who are fearful of entering public spaces without a gun have alternatives ...”

— Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence

have a particular tone to them that often makes it politically difficult to oppose expansive gun rights because, for many years, the debates have been cast in an “us-vs.them” context.

The people who support gun rights, and particularly the right to carry concealed firearms, portray themselves as the courageous ones, the ones not afraid to stand up to would-be attackers and defend themselves with equal or greater force. Those who oppose concealed carry, by contrast, are portrayed as the ones fearful of living in a heavily armed society.

Francisco, however, appears to be trying to reverse that mentality.

Speaking Friday morn-

ing at a pre-session breakfast sponsored by the Lawrence chamber of commerce, Francisco tried to cast the issue in an entirely different context. Here’s what she said: “I would also be very interested in delaying the implementation of the gun requirements, particularly to give us chances to Francisco make sure that all those people who are fearful of entering public spaces without a gun have alternatives, so that everyone who has a public library can just order their books from the library and have

class,” the lawsuit says.

The students accused Joritz of being a Nazi sympathizer and said she “drove us nuts frequently mispronouncing well-known words,” and claimed Joritz “talked about Germany all the time,” the lawsuit says.

“I was honestly shocked when I saw those comments,” she said.

“They’re very hurtful to read, comments that have to do with a culture you’re bringing ... you’re bringing your experience from this culture into a classroom and one would hope that would be perceived as enriching.”

The student evaluations then became a part of Joritz’s permanent record, “included in every important evaluation” and “negatively affecting her chances for salary increases and continued employment,” the lawsuit says.

“So students can write anything about you and it’s anonymous, so it’s completely unaccountable and that’s really the last time in their lives that they’ll be able to say anything about a person and be completely unaccountable,” Joritz said.

Joritz then approached KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access requesting the anonymous comments be removed from her record, the lawsuit says. However, she was told the 180day time limit had passed to file a complaint. Additional requests were also denied.

Joritz became “a closet German” in her workplace, “fearing end-ofsemester student evalua-

tions to the point of panic and near nausea,” the lawsuit says.

In a tenure-track committee review, held in the 2014-2015 school year, one committee member told Joritz her German background might be responsible for the negative reviews, the lawsuit says.

The committee member claimed Joritz may have had “difficulty in adjusting her communicative and teaching skills to her new environment and culture.”

In May 2016, Joritz was informed that she would not be reappointed to her teaching position at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. The letter, sent from KU’s Office of the Provost, stated that Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little “determined your research record demonstrated insufficient progress toward tenure, warranting nonreappointment.”

According to her lawsuit, Joritz had received “good” or “very good” ratings on evaluations until 2015.

Joritz was awarded KU’s Hall Center for the Humanities Creative Fellowship for 2016 and her animated short film, “Zapf Dingbats — A Tribute to Hermann Zapf,” was presented at the 62nd International Short Film Festival in Germany.

Trial dates have not yet been set for either of Joritz’s lawsuits. Her last day as an employee of KU will be May 16.

publicly owned hospitals like Lawrence Memorial Hospital and KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Some area lawmakers, including Sen. Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, are hoping to prevent that law from taking effect, either by delaying its implementation or repealing the statute entirely. And with a new, more moderate Legislature in place, they think there’s a chance to do that this year.

Gun debates at the Statehouse, however,

P3 Bulletin currently lists about 30 university P3 projects in progress nationwide, with KU’s being the only one in Kansas. Construction is underway now on a new science building, student union, parking garage, residence hall and apartment complex in the area between 19th Street and Irving Hill Road. All should be complete by summer 2018.

them sent to their home, and the university can have a lot of online classes, and people who are fearful don’t have to go to public buildings and the rest of us who are not fearful can go without worrying about whether or not other people have a gun.”

In short, she’s saying the people who feel a need to carry guns are the fearful ones among us, and all the others are the ones who are comfortable and self-confident.

“That’s kind of a role reversal,” said Rep. John Barker, R-Abilene, after hearing the quote. Barker is the new chairman of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, which would hear proposals for new gun legislation. He’s also a strong supporter of gun rights.

“I’ve not heard that argument before,” he said with a characteristic laugh, adding that he doesn’t think it’s one likely to win over hearts and minds in the Capitol.

“I don’t know if she’s tested that or not, or if it’s been used in other states, but I’m not sure it’s one that’s going to hold much water in Kansas.”

Barker, an attorney and former magistrate judge, said he is willing to hold hearings and debate any gun legislation that is proposed, although he would not guarantee such a bill would make it out of committee to the floor of the House.

But he also said he has been approached by only one group seeking to scale back or delay the new gun law, public hospitals. He has not heard from universities, community colleges, or cities or counties, he said.

“Those are the only ones that have approached me,” he said.

“Not the private hospitals because they are ready.”

After the Kansas Board of Regents approved the Central District plan, some lawmakers became upset, saying KU should have waited to get legislative approval before embarking on a complex funding strategy that borrowed money from an out-of-state public finance agency.

The Central District P3 involves a leasesublease agreement between KU and the KU Campus Development Corporation (KUCDC), a Kansas nonprofit corporation created to

enable the deal. KUCDC obtained bonds to finance construction from the Wisconsin Public Finance Authority, and KU will make annual sublease payments for the facilities to KUCDC using a variety of revenue sources. U.S. Bank is the bond trustee.

Edgemoor Infrastructure and Real Estate LLC will oversee the project from development to maintenance.

Saluting our new mayor Leslie Soden brings energy and enthusiasm to the role and has some worthy goals for the city.

A

s she takes over as Lawrence’s mayor, Leslie Soden would be wise to heed the advice of outgoing Mayor Mike Amyx.

Amyx has performed admirably under difficult circumstances. He was thrust into the role of mayor a little more than a year ago when former Mayor Jeremy Farmer was forced to resign amid allegations of embezzling funds from Just Food, the local nonprofit Farmer oversaw.

Farmer has since pleaded guilty to interstate transportation of stolen funds.

On Monday, during the annual State of the City address, Amyx said the City Commission must continue its efforts to rebuild trust with the public. Key to that process, Amyx said, is a culture of accountability and openness at City Hall.

“It is a work in progress, but I hope the community, the entire City Commission, our staff and our stakeholders see transparency and accountability as core values and central to what we do,” Amyx said.

Following his address, Amyx and commissioners voted unanimously to elect Soden and Commissioner Stuart Boley as mayor and vice mayor respectively.

In her remarks, Soden provided insight into her priorities as mayor. They include improving city services, enhancing infrastructure and focusing on mental health initiatives. She mentioned expanding the capacity and availability of high-speed internet and expanding the use of renewable energy.

“I very much feel we are a commission that has the interest and courage to take Lawrence into the future,” Soden said.

“Let’s not be afraid to try new tactics and policy.”

Soden brings energy and enthusiasm to the mayor’s seat. And she laid out worthy priorities that can improve the quality of life for Lawrence residents.

But the key to leading the city isn’t so much about setting an agenda as it is executing that agenda. As Amyx advised, Soden’s success will rest on her ability to build trust and confidence with the public. A commitment to transparency — throughout all levels of the city — is a great place to start. So too is fostering a culture that encourages public engagement not only at City Commission meetings but at other city committee meetings.

Soden’s opportunity to lead the city came a little later than originally scheduled because of the disruption created by Farmer’s resignation. She has earned her opportunity as mayor and we wish her much success in her term ahead. Her success is Lawrence’s success.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 11, 1917: l “Old North College, the years most venerable educational ago building in Lawrence, betrayed IN 1917 its age yesterday when a forty-mile gale swept across Mount Oread. Alarmed by the trembling of the floors of the old structure, which could be felt to shiver before the cold blasts, the instructors and students of the fine arts school who were assembled there called it a day early in the afternoon and sought other quarters which they deemed safer.”

We need to know extent of meddling Washington — The intelligence community’s allegation that Russia intervened covertly in the 2016 election describes a significant assault on our democracy.

The country needs to know more: The charge needs to be followed up with an independent investigation that continues after Donald Trump becomes president on Jan. 20.

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

An independent inquiry is the best way to safeguard the rule of law, and the insistence that nobody is above it.”

Congress should commit now to such a bipartisan inquiry. If there’s a possibility that U.S. laws were violated by the Russian political attack, the FBI and the Justice Department should begin a formal legal investigation.

The Justice probe could be led by an independent counsel or an experienced U.S. attorney, such as Preet Bharara of the southern district of New York, whom Trump has already said he will reappoint.

The allegations about Russian hacking are framed in the unclassified report released last Friday by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, on behalf of the CIA, FBI and NSA. That report made strong charges, but it didn’t provide detailed supporting evidence, which is contained in other, classified reports. The allegations are public, in other words, but not the proof.

That’s a bad mix. Indeed, it’s potentially toxic when Trump has criticized the investigation as a “political witch hunt,” and Reince Priebus, his choice for White House chief of staff, said the

Clapper report is “clearly politically motivated to discredit” Trump’s victory.

Somehow, this allegation of foreign meddling has to be taken out of politics. Otherwise, it’s too incendiary. It could be abused by Trump’s critics, or by Trump himself.

An independent inquiry is the best way to safeguard the rule of law, and the insistence that nobody is above it.

Recall what the intelligence chiefs alleged in the Clapper report: “We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election. ... We also assess Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.”

How did Putin organize and implement this manipulative campaign? What funds were used, and from what source? Were any Americans involved in the effort? Did any Americans meet improperly with Russian operatives, in the U.S. or abroad? Does Russia believe it has any leverage over Trump, financial or otherwise? Are remnants of the Russian network still in place?

On any such details of the alleged “influence cam-

paign,” the report is silent.

That’s understandable, in terms of protecting sources and methods, but frustrating for those who want hard facts to combat the “posttruth” environment in which people are skeptical of any assertion that lacks proof.

At the top of each page of Clapper’s report is a reminder: “Conclusions are identical to those in the highly classified assessment but this version does not include the full supporting information on key elements of the influence campaign.”

I’d argue that there is a genuine public “need to know” more of the supporting information, even if that carries risks.

A hint of the secret investigation emerged on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. Chuck Todd pressed Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on whether there were “active investigations going on to try to figure out if there was coordination between campaigns and Moscow.” Graham answered that the FBI and other agencies should “get to the bottom of all things Russia when it came to the 2016 ... election. Period.” And he added: “I believe that it’s happening.”

Nobody stands to gain more from a careful, unbiased investigation than Trump, assuming the Russians were acting alone. A thorough inquiry would

give his presidency the solid legitimacy that any victor desires. It would also dispel worries that his moves toward rapprochement with Russia are tainted.

Inevitably, as members of Congress are briefed this week on the classified version of the report, there will be leaks. That will provide more information to the public, which is good, but also more complaints about partisan leaking, which isn’t.

Incomplete or tendentious news reports could simply muddy the water, rather than fostering clarity.

Trump seems to think that he can bury the investigation by treating it as a creation of his political enemies and what he likes to call the “dishonest media.” He may well succeed, absent some formal investigative process that’s endorsed by bipartisan congressional leaders, or shielded by our legal system.

Such an investigation could actually pull a divided country together. Once it began, any attempt to subvert or steer it would be difficult. If it ended favorably for Trump, it would resolve questions that could otherwise haunt his presidency.

The alternative is a continuing miasma of speculation and political skullduggery, which would be bad for everyone.

A Tale of Two Trumps: Which one will govern?

In a matter of days, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in to office as the 45th president of the United States.

But which Trump will occupy the Oval Office is an open question. Will it be the man who has assembled, for the most part, a team of well-qualified and impressive individuals to run the government’s most important agencies and departments? Or will it be the man who’d rather believe the likes of Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange than the U.S. intelligence community when it comes to Russia’s efforts to influence American elections? Will he spend his first days in office laying out concrete plans to boost the economy through comprehensive tax and regulatory reform? Or will he continue to jawbone individual companies he deems insufficiently committed to keeping a relative handful of jobs in the U.S.? Most importantly, will he immerse himself in learning the details of U.S. foreign policy to formulate careful plans to undo some of the damage that has been done in the past eight years?

Or will he continue to rely primarily on cable news talking heads as his source of information and Twitter as his command post for signaling policy changes?

Trump will enjoy no honeymoon. The press is hostile. Democrats are furious.

And the public is equally divided about whether he

Linda Chavez

“

Trump needs to keep his eyes and mind open, his mouth shut and his fingers occupied with something other than his Twitter account.” will be a good president. He enters office with the lowest approval ratings of any president-elect in modern history. But most worrisome, Trump is almost sure to face an immediate crisis somewhere in the world.

The likeliest scenario is a missile launch from North Korea to test its long-range nuclear delivery capacity.

On New Year’s Day, Kim Jong Un announced he intends to test a new version of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which, if successful, could put the United States in the bull’s-eye of a potential nuclear attack in the nottoo-distant future. North Korea engaged in similarly provocative actions shortly after Barack Obama took office in 2009 and shortly

after he was sworn in for a second term in 2013, testing nuclear devices just months or weeks after the president’s inaugurations. North Korea’s fifth nuclear test, which took place in September 2016, is estimated to be its most powerful bomb yet, at 10 to 20 kilotons, and Kim claimed at the time that the country can make a bomb small enough to be used on the warhead of a missile.

Trump delivered his reaction to Kim’s threats by tweet: “North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won’t happen!”

With as unstable a leader as Kim Jong Un, those words could provoke even more dangerous actions. Kim is the most delusional leader in the world, a totalitarian who lives in constant fear of an attack by the “imperialist” United States and believes that North Korea’s only defense is to attack first, as it did in 1950, when 75,000 North Korean soldiers crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea, launching the Korean War. Kim reiterated his commitment to a first strike in his Jan. 1 address: “We will continue to build up our self-defense capability, the pivot of which is the nuclear forces, and the capability for pre-emptive strike as long as the United States and its vassal forces keep on nuclear threat and blackmail and as long as they do not stop their

war games they stage at our doorstep disguising them as annual events.”

Trump must be prepared with more than bombastic tweets if he hopes to keep Kim in check, and he should do so quietly and with expert counsel. The men and women he must now look to for an assessment of the dangers are the very people he has spent the past few weeks denigrating — the professional intelligence community. Trump needs to keep his eyes and mind open, his mouth shut and his fingers occupied with something other than his Twitter account. But the real test will be whether those he’s selected for the jobs of running our defense, foreign policy and intelligence agencies can deliver news Trump doesn’t want to hear when it’s necessary — and whether Trump will be willing to listen.

Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Two former employees of the Shawnee County prosecutor’s office are making their case to jurors that they were wrongfully terminated because of racial and gender discrimination.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that opening statements were made Monday in federal court in Kansas City, Kan. The attorney for Lisa Anne Moore, of Lawrence, and Krystal Boxum-Debolt, of Rancho Rio, N.M., said former Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor “harbored a deep animus against women in the work place” and used “derogatory, sexist statements.”

But the defense says Taylor fired the two victim-witness specialists in 2010 because a third employee told him the two

were plotting to get their supervisor fired.

Suspect in killing, abduction served extradition papers Wichita (ap) — Authorities say a woman accused of killing a Wichita woman and abducting her newborn daughter has been served papers that would extradite her from Texas to Kansas.

Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said Tuesday that 34-year-old Yesenia Sesmas, who is being held in the Dallas County Jail, was served papers Friday.

Sesmas is accused of killing Laura Abarca-Nogueda at a west Wichita apartment in November. She then allegedly took Abarca-Nogueda’s newborn daughter, Sofia, who was six days old at the time.

The extradition process is likely to take up to three months.

“KU has made dramatic steps over the last few years but still has far to go,” Brockman said.

Speakers also addressed KU’s status with the Association of American Universities, calling it a weak member of the prestigious national group of leading research universities. A chancellor with a commitment to and understanding of research endeavors will be important, they said.

Funding is and will continue to be another challenge, attendees said.

The new chancellor must be able to “generate excitement” about higher education and research in order to secure funding, said Jill Hummels, communications manager for the provost’s office.

Multiple speakers used the word “courageous” as a trait they’d like to see in their next chancellor, someone who is not afraid of thorny issues and would pursue what’s best for KU despite sometimes difficult political or social arenas.

“KU is in a time of flux,” said senior Harrison Baker, citing the Student Senate’s funding of a multicultural student government and the chancellor’s later veto of it, as well as what he described as racist, transphobic and other hurtful incidents that caused some students to leave over the past year.

“The new chancellor has the opportunity to face these challenges and make KU better for it by actively changing policies,” Baker said.

Baker said he and other students also would like to see a chancellor who is more social and visible to students and who has the skill of listening to students.

“I have had many adults at this campus brush me aside because I am a student,” he said. Baker also said KU’s active Student Senate and student body should be enticing for a new chancellor.

The search firm and committee will recruit candidates and narrow the list in secret before forwarding finalists to the Board of Regents.

However, Funk and Dillon encouraged attendees at Tuesday’s forum to spread the word that KU is in the market for a new chancellor and to send them names to consider.

“Help us build the pool,” Funk said. “We would welcome it.”

David Jackson and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

During a special briefing Friday, leaders of the intelligence community gave Donald Trump a synopsis of unsubstantiated and salacious allegations that Russian operatives obtained potentially compromising personal and financial information about the president-elect, a U.S. official confirmed Tuesday.

The official, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the document was provided along with the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia had

The separate document represented a summary of a 35-page compilation of documents prepared by a former foreign intelligence officer. The officer, the official said, is known to U.S. intelligence, but the contents of the document have not been verified.

Trump responded Tuesday evening by Twitter, calling the report “FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!” The decision to present the information to Trump, first reported by CNN, was made after it was determined that the document — in many forms — had been circulated widely to political opposition researchers, U.S. lawmakers,

journalists and others. CNN said it reviewed the compilation of the memos, which originated as research commissioned by antiTrump Republicans and later by Democrats. Buzzfeed posted the intelligence documents.

The summary document includes allegations that information was exchanged over a long period of time between the Russian government and Trump representatives.

The news came on a day when the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted hearings into the alleged Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee and emails provided to the website WikiLeaks. Chairman Rich-

Before he could take his seat at the witness table, protesters wearing Ku Klux Klan costumes erupted with shouts of “white power” before they were ushered out, the first clash of several pitting demonstrators against Capitol police. At least eight others were dragged out during the course of the session, some yelling, “No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA.”

His hair was grayer, his tone more somber. Since election night 2016, his message has been aimed at rallying downcast supporters and defending a legacy that his successor has vowed to dismantle.

In his speech, he recited a litany of his proudest achievements, among them the economic recovery from the Great Recession, the diplomatic outreach to Cuba, the nuclear accord with Iran, the death of Osama bin Laden, extension of health care coverage to another 20 million people and more.

Protesters heckle Sessions at hearing Attorney general nominee promises to protect rights of all Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, rejected on Tuesday the “false caricature” of his views on racial tolerance.

Facing a barrage of challenges to his record on civil rights enforcement, he asserted that the Justice Department under his direction would “never falter in its obligation to protect the rights of every American, particularly those who are most vulnerable.”

Sessions says he understands the history of civil rights.

started.”

Though Obama is finishing his term with a healthy approval rating — ahead of Donald Trump’s standing by double digits in a Quinnipiac University Poll released Tuesday — the election of a political nemesis as his successor poses grave risks to what he leaves behind on everything from health care to climate change.

The situation includes this ironic twist: Trump initially built a political following by questioning Obama’s birthplace and the legitimacy of his presidency. As he prepares to turn over the White House to Trump, Obama finds himself defending the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency, insisting to skeptics that the election of this new commander in chief doesn’t represent an apocalypse that threatens American democracy.

He quieted boos from the audience when he noted that a new administration would take over in 10 days, lauding “the peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next.”

When the crowd chanted, “Four more years!” to drown out a protester, he said with a smile, “I can’t do that.”

Obama spoke amid a new and potentially explosive controversy involving Trump. CNN first reported, and USA TODAY and other news outlets confirmed, that Obama and Trump were given classified documents last week that included allegations from Russian operatives who claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Trump. The president-elect denounced the report in a tweet, deriding it as “#fakenews.”

Obama’s decision to deliver a farewell address, and the unprecedented venue he chose for it, are part of his effort to make the case for his legacy and rally his reeling party. He is all too aware of the impact Hillary Clinton’s defeat in November is likely to have on his legacy, one reason he and Michelle Obama campaigned so fiercely on her behalf.

Obama will be succeeded by a president elected with a promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, reject the Pacific trade deal, withdraw from the global climate change agreement, undo the Iran nuclear deal and reverse his executive orders on immigration.

Consider the comments by a senior Trump adviser in an interview with USA TODAY Monday about Obama’s farewell address.

“It’s a great idea for him to do this,” Kellyanne Conway said, “because he knows that a great deal of what he did is not going to survive this next presidency, or maybe even this next month, in some cases.”

A bumblebee is now on the endangered species list for the first time in a “race against extinction,” the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Tuesday.

The agency placed the rusty patched bumblebee on the list because of a dramatic population decline over the past 20 years.

Since the late 1990s, the population of the species has plummeted 87%.

Named because of the rust-colored marks on its back, the bee once was common and abundant across 28 states from Connecticut to South Dakota. Today, the bee is only found in small, scattered populations in 13 states.

“Our top priority is to act quickly to prevent extinction of the rusty patched bumblebee,” wildlife service Midwest regional director Tom Melius said in a statement. “Listing the bee as endangered will help us mobilize partners and focus resources on finding ways right now to stop the decline.”

Rusty patched bumblebee population has dropped by 87% since the late 1990s DAN MULLEN, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE MIDWEST REGION

Bees are responsible for pollinating most of the plants that require insect pollination to produce fruits, seeds and nuts.

Like other bees, rusty patched bumblebees pollinate important crops such as tomatoes, cranberries and peppers.

It’s not just the rusty patched bumblebee that is struggling in the U.S. Other species have experienced dramatic declines in recent decades. The reduction is believed to be caused by a combination of habitat loss, disease, pesticide use, climate change and an extremely small population

size.

The endangered designation is made by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act for species at risk of becoming extinct throughout all or a portion of their range.

Environmental groups praised the designation, including the group that originally petitioned for the listing in 2013, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation: “We are very pleased to see one of North America’s most imperiled species receive the protection it needs,” said Sarina Jepsen, director of en-

dangered species for the group.

Environment America’s Christy Leavitt said that “protecting the rusty patched bumblebee and all bees is essential for our ecosystem and our food supply. If bees go extinct, it’s simple: no bees, no food,” she added.

“Today’s Endangered Species listing is the best — and probably last — hope for the recovery of the rusty patched bumblebee,” said Rebecca Riley, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council. “Bumblebees are dying off, vanishing from our farms, gardens, and parks, where they were once found in great numbers.”

People can help boost the rusty patched bumblebee population by growing a garden or adding a native flowering tree or shrub to yards and minimizing pesticide use, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said. Leaving some areas of the yard unmowed in summer and unraked in fall can also help since bumblebees need a safe place to build their nests and overwinter. Additionally, try leaving some standing plant stems in gardens and flower beds in winter.

This is the first bee of any type in the continental U.S. to be placed on the list. In September, the Obama administration designated seven species of bees in Hawaii as endangered.

Sessions objects to ‘caricature’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Sessions sat silently while protesters were moved before he pressed ahead.

He affirmed to the Senate Judiciary Committee that “I deeply understand the history of civil rights and the horrendous impact that relentless and systemic discrimination and the denial of voting rights has had on our African-American brothers and sisters. I have witnessed it. ...

While humans must recognize the the limits of their abilities — and I do — I am ready for this job.

We will do it right.”

Addressing claims that he sympathized with hate groups, including the KKK, and sought to intimidate black voters in a controversial voting fraud prosecution in 1985, Sessions called the assertions “false.”

He denied referring to civil rights organizations as “unAmerican,” an allegation made during his failed bid for a federal judgeship in 1986.

That hearing, Sessions said, propelled an inaccurate “caricature” of his views on race and equality. “I do hope that I’m perhaps wiser and maybe a little better today,” he said. “I did not harbor the kind of racial insensitivity that I was accused of. I did not.”

Responding to questions from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., he rejected any attempt, as once proposed by Trump, to deny prospective Muslim immigrants entry to the USA on the basis of their religion.

“I do not believe that Muslims as a religious group should be denied entry to the U.S.,” Sessions said.

As he offered the remarks, Khizr Khan, a vocal critic of Trump and the father of a Muslim soldier killed while serving in Iraq, sat a few rows behind the nominee. Khan has urged the Senate to reject Sessions’ nomination.

On the broader issue of immigration, on which he stands as Congress’ chief opponent to Obama administration efforts at an overhaul, the senator conceded that the federal government lacked the resources to engage in a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, as Trump has suggested.

“We are not in a position, financially or otherwise, to seek out and remove (all undocumented immigrants),” Sessions said.

“Let’s fix the system.”

He affirmed an unstinting stance on border security.

“We will prosecute those who repeatedly violate our borders,” the nominee told the panel. “It will be my priority to confront these crises vigorously, effectively and immediately.”

In one of the first questions Sessions fielded, he said he would recuse himself from any investigations related to former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Sessions said his

USA TODAY

Sen. Jeff Sessions told the committee, “We are not in a position, financially or otherwise, to seek out and remove (all undocumented immigrants).” objectivity could be called into question because of his statements about Clinton during the presidential campaign last year.

Sessions pledged that he would “systematically” prosecute gun crimes.

Some of the most vocal responses from protesters came after Sessions affirmed his support for maintaining the military detention facility holding suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, which the Obama administration has long sought to shut down.

Guantanamo, Sessions told Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., “fits that purpose marvelously well.”

“I do not believe that Muslims as a religious group should be denied entry to the U.S.” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

“No!” shouted protesters who jumped to their feet in the rear gallery. At least two of the protesters struggled with police officers as they were removed.

Though the closure of the controversial facility proved to be a non-starter for Sessions, he acknowledged that the interrogation tactic known as waterboarding was illegal. The senator had expressed support for harsh tactics in questioning terror suspects.

Throughout Tuesday’s session, Sessions appeared largely unflustered during a hearing that featured only rare flashes of emotion from the nominee and committee members.

Sessions sought to distance himself from some of the strident rhetoric espoused during the primary and general election campaigns and immediately after

Trump’s election.

On Russia’s alleged use of cyberespionage, Sessions, unlike the president-elect, said there was “no reason to doubt” the assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia sought to influence the presidential election in favor of Trump.

Leahy referred to Trump’s comments about groping women and asked whether the unwanted grabbing of genitals amounted to sexual assault. Sessions responded with little equivocation: “Clearly, it would be.”

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the panel’s ranking Democrat, urged a close examination of her longtime colleague’s record and his close association with Trump — he was the first U.S. senator to throw his support behind the candidate.

“The senator before us this morning is someone many of us on this committee have worked with for 20 years,” Feinstein said.

“That makes this very difficult for me. ... We cannot ignore that there are deep concerns and anxiety throughout America. There is a deep fear about what the Trump administration will bring in many places. And it is in this context in which we must consider Sen. Sessions’ record and nomination to become the chief law enforcement officer of America.”

A coalition of civil rights advocates have stepped up their opposition in recent days, renewing a call for a hearing delay while characterizing the nominee as “unfit.” Many of them were in the hearing standing-room-only room gallery.

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which described Sessions’ nomination as “particularly fraught,” was represented throughout the hearing room. Sherrilyn Ifill, the group’s

president, has cited Sessions’ failed prosecution of a voter fraud case in Alabama in 1985 involving three black activists that has become a cause célèbre for the senator’s opponents. The three were quickly acquitted, though the case has followed the senator with questions about whether he, as a federal prosecutor, sought to intimidate black voters.

Albert Turner Jr., the son of two of the activists charged in the case, issued a surprise endorsement of Sessions’ last week, dismissing claims that the prosecutor’s actions were motivated by race.

“My differences in policy and ideology with him do not translate to personal malice,” Turner said. “He is not a racist. ... He was presented with evidence by a local district attorney that he relied on, and his office presented the case. That’s what a prosecutor does. I believe him when he says that he was simply doing his job.”

Turner’s mother, Evelyn, said the matter remained a painful chapter in the family’s life and would not support Sessions’ nomination.

Sessions said the case was brought with no racial animus, adding that the prosecution had contributed to the “inaccurate” portrayal of him as racially insensitive. “The caricature created of me was not accurate then; it is not accurate now,” he told Sen. Graham.

Sessions’ team has assembled a stable of high-profile supporters.

Among them: former attorney general Michael Mukasey, former deputy attorney general Larry Thompson and former FBI director Louis Freeh.

Mukasey and Thompson, who sat behind the nominee throughout Tuesday’s session, are set to testify on Sessions’ behalf before the committee Wednesday.

Q: What is a ‘long-term’ investor, anyway?

The specialty pharmaceutical company reported that it will sell some of its business segments for around $2 billion. It intends to use proceeds to reduce its debt load. Along with positive results for its late-stage psoriasis trial, shares traded higher.

A: There’s a joke on Wall Street that a long-term investor is one who is losing so much money on a stock that they can’t afford to sell it. But there’s more to being a patient investor than just someone who doesn’t want to realize a loss.

Investors are constantly reminded that the biggest spoils go to those who wait. Long-term investors should expect to keep their money in the market for many years, not months or even a year or two. The data certainly

Change $1.05

bear this out.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 6.5% on average each of the two years between Jan. 1, 2015, and Dec. 31, 2016, Index Fund Advisors says. But investors who held on for five years through the end of last year earned a 14.6% average annual return.

The time periods you choose certainly can alter these numbers. The 10-year average annual gain between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2016, was 6.95%, which is below the market’s very long average annual return of roughly 10%.

But that’s the point.

The longer investors stay in the market and ignore the short-term ups and downs, the more they can capture the power of earnings, growth and the profits of capitalism.

IRS urged to shift focus away from tax enforcement Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The Internal Revenue Service should shift its focus from tax enforcement to taxpayer service in an effort to build trust and confidence, a new government report says.

The nation’s tax agency currently spends nearly half its $11.2 billion appropriated budget on audits and enforcement and less than 6% on taxpayer outreach

and education, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson said Tuesday in an annual report to Congress.

As a result, IRS employees were able to answer only 38% of the taxpayer phone calls during the federal government’s 2015 fiscal year and 53% last year, the report said. Those who managed to get through waited on hold for an average of 30 minutes and 18 minutes, respectfully, in those years.

“To create an environment that encourages taxpayer trust and confidence, the IRS must

J. DAVID AKE, AP

change its culture from one that is enforcement-oriented to one that is service-oriented,” said Olson, who heads the independent IRS office focused on taxpayer

rights. “This is not to say we should ignore those who are actively evading tax,” Olson added.

“Rather, it is to say we should design our tax system around the taxpayers who are trying to comply, instead of those who are actively trying not to.”

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said he “reject(s) inaccurate stereotypes that the IRS is just focused on tax enforcement.”

“We strongly believe that a balanced approach to taxpayer service and tax enforcement is critical to running a sound tax system,” Koskinen added.

However, the call for a mission overhaul could resonate on Capitol Hill during this year’s start of a new White House administration and a congressional session expected to focus on tax reform and other issues involving the IRS. The report said the tax code should be simplified to provide easier filing for individuals and businesses.

“In an enforcement-oriented tax agency, if taxpayers ... make a mistake, they are treated as if they are tax evaders,” the report said. “This treatment, in turn, breeds resentment.”

Marius (Giovanni Ribisi) takes on the identity of his ex-cellmate, Pete, and joins Pete’s family, including Julia (Marin Ireland).

Bryan Cranston cons his way into ‘Sneaky Pete’ The actor’s childhood nickname inspired Amazon crime drama Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

NEW YORK Bryan Cranston takes a very hands-on approach to Sunday brunch.

The Emmy winner is directing a scene of his new series, Sneaky Pete (streaming Friday on Amazon Prime), in which con man Marius (Giovanni Ribisi) is polishing off an afterchurch meal with members of his estranged “family.” Rather than bark “Action!” and “Cut!” from one end of the clan’s Connecticut farmhouse — built to scale in a Brooklyn studio — Cranston is darting between the director’s chair and the dining room. He gently offers pointers on everything from dialogue to dishware, and later hugs cast and crew as they wrap.

“I’m amazed at people like him who have so much going on and have such an ease about

them all the time,” says Marin Ireland, who plays single mother Julia. “There’s always such a humor about him, and he’s always so creative.”

Although Cranston, 60, has directed TV before, Sneaky Pete bears even more of his creative stamp than roles on AMC’s Breaking Bad and Fox’s Malcolm in the Middle. He executive produces the crime drama, and costars in all 10 episodes as Vince, a New York gangster to whom Marius owes a serious debt. Newly freed from prison and warned by his younger brother, Eddie (Michael Drayer), that Vince is out for vengeance, Marius assumes the identity of his former cellmate, Pete, the grandson of a family of bail bondsmen.

As the season progresses, Marius scrambles to maintain his façade as Pete, while simultaneously trying to save Eddie, who is taken hostage by Vince. “All he has is his brother,” Ribisi says.

The con game is what he had “to do to get away from himself, but at the core of that, you see this little kernel of humanity, and it’s

Bryan Cranston directs an episode of Sneaky Pete, which he co-created and stars in. really about making sure the one thing he has is protected.”

Marius was inspired in part by Cranston, who was nicknamed “Sneaky Pete” as a kid for trying to take shortcuts, such as throwing out most of the newspapers on his route to avoid crotchety customers. He referenced the

nickname in his 2014 Emmys speech, and a day later, got a call from Sony Pictures Television president Zack Van Amburg with an idea for a series.

“He called me and said, ‘I think there’s a show there, about a guy who’s a Sneaky Pete,’ ” Cranston says. “ ‘That was OK for you because you were a kid. ... But what if that kid is now 35?

What is he now?’ And I said, ‘I think he’d be a criminal if he didn’t change his ways.’ ” Cranston began developing the show with House creator David Shore as a procedural for CBS, and when the network passed, Shore was replaced by Justified’s Graham Yost. The series was retooled for Amazon to tell a more grounded, serialized story that was “still trying to keep the grit and the humor,” Yost says.

Ribisi was cast as Marius because “he’s not your average stud, leading man-type,” Cranston says.

“If you need a gun or a fight, you didn’t figure out your con very well. The genius con is when I convince you that it’s your idea to give me your money. It’s almost like a magician: ‘Take any card.’ ”

PASADENA , CALIF. Your long, Twin Peak-less nightmare is almost over.

Created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, this legendary (and legendarily odd) ABC series and its “Who Killed Laura Palmer” mystery took America by storm when it debuted in 1990. It was unlike any show anyone had ever seen, which may be why it quickly exploded into a hit and just as quickly collapsed, ending after just two seasons but leaving behind one of TV’s most devoted cult followings.

Fans celebrated in 2014 when Showtime announced it would bring the show back with Lynch and Frost in charge — and then began to panic as time passed and Peaks did not appear. Well, panic no more: The new Twin Peaks arrives on

RICHARD SHOTWELL, INVISION/AP

FREDERICK M. BROWN, GETTY IMAGES

David Lynch directs all 18 episodes of Showtime’s return to quirky Twin Peaks.

Christine Baranski reprises her role as attorney Diane Lockhart in The Good Fight.

Showtime May 21 with an 18-episode run, all directed by Lynch.

He’s “one of the great film masters of my lifetime,” Showtime CEO David Nevins told TV critics Monday, “and I think that the version of Twin Peaks you’re going to see is the pure heroin version of David Lynch, and I’m very excited to be putting that out.”

In his own deadpan, elliptical way, Lynch sounds just as excited: “I love this world of Twin Peaks and I often thought about what might be happening. I often remembered the beautiful world and the beautiful characters.”

Details about that new show

are a well-kept secret. But some of the original cast will return, including Mädchen Amick and Kyle MacLachlan, who became a star playing the coffee-drinking, pieeating Special Agent Dale Cooper.

“I didn’t think it was ever coming back,” says Amick. “People would ask, and I always said, ‘No, absolutely not. There’s no way they could do that again.’ ” Peaks is being billed as a onetime, special event, but Lynch says he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of another trip back. After all, he says, he once said he’d never return to Twin Peaks — and yet here he is. “Never say never.”

The Good Wife is gearing up for a fight.

The Good Fight, a spinoff of the acclaimed CBS drama, which will stream on CBS All Access starting Feb. 19 (the first episode also will air on CBS that night), picks up a year after the original series ended last spring. Christine Baranski’s Diane Lockhart has announced plans to retire from the law firm at its center, only to find her savings have evaporated in the wake of a Ponzi scheme.

The firm refuses to take her back, so she sets out on her own with Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo), who returns from Wife along with Sarah Steele, who played Eli’s daughter.

The change of presidential administrations colors the series.

The premiere episode was filmed in the week leading up to the election, and the unexpected outcome adds “a different resonance” to the new show, Baranski says, with parallels to “passing power from one generation to another.”

But it’s not inherently antiTrump: “It looks at how liberals are reacting, confusion between what’s real and what’s not real,” says co-creator Robert King.

Dear Annie: America cares deeply for its veterans. Each and every day, volunteers and Department of Veterans Affairs employees alike provide compassionate and devoted care for those who ‘‘have borne the battle.’’

As we have done for many years, this February, Americans will participate in the National Salute to Veteran Patients by visiting and volunteering at VA medical centers and by sending letters of thanks or valentines to veterans. This year’s National Salute week is Feb. 13-17, and we again encourage communities across the country to take part in this effort to honor our hospitalized veterans.

The National Salute is a great time for citizens to get to know their local VA facilities and the veterans who receive care from the VA. Activities and events throughout

the week open the door for those in the community to show their appreciation through special ward visits, valentine distribution and veteran recognition programs. Those interested will also have the chance to explore some of our exceptional volunteer programs.

The VA is more than just buildings in a community. Over 350,000 people serve veterans at the 1,200-plus health care facilities across the country every day. The valu-

‘Nature’ can’t get much cuter Viewers addicted to cute animal videos should not miss tonight’s “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ‘‘Snowbound: Animals of Winter’’ shows how creatures adapt to the frigid temperatures of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan documents wolves, polar bears, penguins, lynx, Arctic rodents and caterpillars in temperatures 50 degrees below zero and lower.

Anybody who owns a dog knows that their paws are the first things to afflict them in cold temperatures. Arctic wolves have evolved to avoid that problem. The pads on their feet may be exposed just like your dog’s, but their blood does not circulate to the bottoms of their feet, thereby avoiding a numbing heat loss.

Polar bears get by with a thick padding of insulating fat — a 4-inch layer. In fact, when they feast on seals in the winter, they devour only the blubber and leave the rich meat and protein behind. Apparently, polar bears enjoy the anti-Atkins diet.

Buchanan manages to capture polar bears in hibernation. Unlike brown bears that create burrows in the earth, polar bears merely lie down in the snow and wait for blizzards to cover them up. Their fat keeps them warm as their heart rate and metabolism slow down.

Just in case you were wondering how bears ‘‘go to the bathroom’’ while hibernating, ‘‘Snowbound’’ has the answer. They have evolved mechanisms to turn their urine and waste into protein as they hibernate. Polar bears can even give birth and nurse in that suspended state. If you’ve never seen a newborn polar bear swaddled up to its groggy mom under an igloo of snow, then you haven’t known cute.

Buchanan later captures the cubs as they burst energetically from their winter home to frolic and play under the first sky they have ever known. Anything cuter would be unbearable.

O Clearly inspired by ‘‘MythBusters,’’ the new series “Street Science” (9 p.m., Science) stars ‘‘science guy’’ and storyteller Kevin Delaney, who combines hardware store gadgetry with the scientific method and post-adolescent curiosity and wonder. ‘‘Street’’ segments will showcase a manmade fire tornado, ways to turn a leaf blower into a homemade hovercraft, a crowd-pleasing instant nitrogen cloud and surprising uses for hydrogen peroxide.

able partnerships with volunteers strengthen the bond with the veterans we care and provide services for. We also work hand in hand with our valuable veteran service organizations, civic and community partners, and caring individuals from across the country.

Of special note, VA Voluntary Service estimates that approximately 160 new community organizations participated in the 2016 National Salute campaign. The Department of Veterans Affairs continues to do a considerable amount of outreach to invite nonprofits and community, civic and corporate entities to share in our noble mission of caring for veterans. Last year’s effort will serve as a notable benchmark to begin expanding our efforts to sustain and grow viable strategic partnerships, as

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might have the best of intentions, but it won’t mean anything unless you follow through on them. It is important and significant to show that you care. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

SECOND-HALF SIZZLE

Self’s halftime message hits the right notes

Kansas follows Mason’s lead against Sooners

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Norman, Okla. — The exclamation point on a ferocious Kansas comeback Tuesday night at Lloyd Noble Center against Oklahoma came with 7:47 to play, the perfect time on the game clock to describe the way KU freshman Josh Jackson soared through the sky.

Leading by eight at the under-eight media timeout and sensing an opportunity to bury the Sooners, KU coach Bill Self drew up one of his signature lob plays in the huddle and then watched as Devonté Graham and Jackson executed it to perfection.

With Graham dribbling high on the left wing, Jackson received a back screen on the right side of the basket and flew above the OU defense for an easy alley-oop flush that put the Jayhawks up 10.

Oklahoma never drew closer than eight from that point on and Kansas improved to 15-1 overall and won for the 15th con-

secutive game and fourth time in four tries in Big 12 play.

For those who might have caught just the second half of Tuesday’s 81-70 Kansas victory, it probably looked a lot like business as usual for the No. 2 team in the nation against the sub-.500 Sooners.

But those who witnessed the game’s first 20 minutes and saw the Sooners (6-9 overall, 0-4 Big 12) unleash a 24-6 run to close the final 9:19 of the first half and take a nine-point lead into halftime might not have believed it would — or even could — be so easy for the Jayhawks.

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM SHOWS his excitement > JAYHAWKS, 4C during the second half.

Norman, Okla. — By the time Kansas basketball coach Bill Self sits in front of the microphones to discuss the game he just played, he’s in boardroom mode, smoothly reviewing the key points with a calm demeanor, sprinkling in humor, clearly communicating his message.

That works for him and his program. So does the disposition he manufactures to approach his team during intermission when things aren’t going so well.

In medical emergencies manufactured in Hollywood, the doctor puts the paddles on the patient’s heart and shocks him back to life.

Bill Self’s words are his paddles and on Tuesday night they shocked his team back to life.

So what exactly did he say to get Kansas to defeat Oklahoma 81-70 in a game the Sooners led at the half, 36-27?

Frank Mason tried to figure out a way to sugarcoat it, but he just didn’t have enough printable

material, so he surrendered.

“I can’t tell you the message, but you know, it was, it was, um ... I can’t even say it,” Mason was smiling and slowly shaking his head from side to side. “Coach got onto us and I think we responded pretty well.

We just have to start the game off better as a team.”

Freshman Josh Jackson repeatedly has said he came to Kansas to be coached hard. He got what he wanted at halftime Tuesday night.

“He definitely got onto us, but he gets onto us a lot and we all know most of the time he’s right,” Jackson said. “We had

Chiefs’ playoff Alex different from Regular-Season Alex

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Two distinctly different versions of Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith have emerged over the years.

Regular-Season Alex and Playoff Alex.

The regular-season version may be the most boring player you will ever meet. He rarely says anything inflammatory.

He is exceedingly polite. His answers to even the most blasé of questions during his weekly availability are mind-numbingly rote, a talent he’s honed over 11 seasons as a pro.

His play is a reflection of that, too. Smith is the consummate game-manager, content to dink and dunk and avoid major mistakes, and let his opportunistic defense carry Kansas City to victories.

The playoff version of Smith is the antithesis. He is brash and confident and carries a gunslinger’s swagger, and his numbers in five games put him among the best quarterbacks in NFL history.

His passer rating of 99.1 trails only Bart Starr, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.

“I would agree,” Chiefs And just about every other snap an eight-game postseason coach Andy Reid said, “he’s statistic takes a jump, from losing streak that stretched to had some good games in the yards-per-attempt to more ob- the 1993 season with a win in FREE STATE HIGH playoffs.

Firebirds roll past Leavenworth, 50-45 SCOREBOARD

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Leavenworth —Winning on the road is no easy task, regardless of who the opponent is.

That’s why Free State boys basketball coach Sam Stroh was certainly pleased to walk away Tuesday night with a 50-45 victory over Leavenworth. The Firebirds (5-2) have now won three consecutive games, including two straight away from Lawrence.

“It was good to get out with a win,” Stroh said. “I wish we would have finished around the rim a little bit better. But offensively it seemed like we

never made consecutive shots in the second half.

It went back and forth and we were able to pull away at the very end.”

But what made FSHS’s narrow escape of Leavenworth even more impressive was the fact the team was shorthanded. Senior Jacob Pavlyak rolled his ankle at the end of Monday’s practice, which sidelined him for the first time this season.

As a result, the Firebirds were thin on the bench.

They rotated a majority of their minutes between seven players, with Shannon Cordes and Simon McCaffrey playing more minutes than they were normally accustomed to.

Both players responded well to the extra playing time.

McCaffrey knocked down a pair of big 3-pointers, one of which came in the closing seconds of the third period to give the Firebirds their first lead of the second half. He reclaimed the lead with his second trey with 5:44 to go. Cordes finished with four points.

“It was good, some guys played out of position,” Stroh said. “It was big for Simon and Shannon, who hit a couple big shots for us.”

However, picking up the slack in terms of scoring was junior Garrett Luinstra. He tallied a

team-high 22 points on 17 shots from the floor.

King’s late scoring lifts LHS over SM West

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Overland Park — As Lawrence High sophomore Clarence King dribbled the ball up the court in the final seconds, he looked over to boys basketball coach Mike Lewis to make sure he had the green light to finish the game with a dunk.

Only King didn’t get

high enough on his dunk attempt and was forced to lay the ball in. But that would be the only time King came up short in the fourth quarter. He scored 15 of his team-high 23 points in the fourth quarter as Lawrence earned a 65-55 road victory at Shawnee Mission West on Tuesday night.

“I have to (keep attacking),” King said. “People

depend on me to score.

I have to provide for my team.”

King wasn’t able to impose his will in the first half, scoring just four points on 2-of-5 shooting because he and three other teammates were saddled with two fouls. But King’s teammates made it a point to keep him engaged, knowing they would need him later in the game.

Leavenworth — It would have been far too easy for Free State girls basketball coach Ted Juneau to point out what his team could have done differently.

Instead, he chose to admire what his team did well, particularly on the defensive end following a 36-33 loss to Leavenworth. Tuesday’s three-point loss on the road snapped the Firebirds’ twogame win streak.

“I thought we played awfully hard,” Juneau said. “People can look at the score and say, ‘There wasn’t a lot of offense’ but there was a lot of defense. We obviously can look back and wonder what if, but overall I am pleased. These are the kind of games that will make us better.”

FSHS (4-3) played lockdown defense for much of the night, holding the Pioneers

to a 14-of-49 mark from the floor, including 0-for-10 from long range. Aarika Lister (12 points) was Leavenworth’s only doubledigit scorer. No other player scored more than six points.

Meanwhile, senior Madison Piper led the Firebirds with 12 points, knocking down four of her 11 shots. Earlier Tuesday, Piper was nominated for the McDonald’s AllAmerican Game. It was something not even the two-time player of the year in the Sunflower League could imagine.

“Just being nominated is such an honor,” Piper said. “It’s something that I didn’t really think about. So hearing my name, it’s just awesome. I’ve watched the McDonald’s AllAmerican games and said, ‘There is no way I could make it.’”

She certainly looked like she could make it in the second quarter when she scored eight of her dozen points.

Overland Park — When Lawrence High has won games this season, sophomore Chisom Ajekwu and junior E’lease Stafford have often been the driving force of its offense.

With Stafford scoring two points on 1-of-10 shooting, the Lions needed to find another source of scoring to earn their first win of 2017.

The Lions were able to do just that on Tuesday in a 52-44 road win on Tuesday night over Shawnee Mission West.

Ajekwu still led the team with 13 points, but a few other players stepped up to fill the scoring void. Sophomore Sammy Williams scored 11 points, junior Tamo Thomas scored six points and sophomore Hannah Stewart scored eight points.

“We are working hard to develop our depth and are looking for someone consistent to emerge from the pack,” Dickson said. “We are starting to get some really reliable minutes from Sammy (Williams) and Tamo (Thomas).”

Sunflower breakdown This will be the first installment of the Sunflower Showdown this season. Kansas doesn’t have a favorable track record against its in-state rival, particularly as of late. The Wildcats have got the best of the Jayhawks in each of the last five meetings. KU has won just 16 of its 31 games in Manhattan.

In fact, they have not been able to notch a victory inside Bramlage Coliseum since 2014.

Rough start Under second-year head coach Brandon Schneider, the Jayhawks have gone winless in conference play during the regular season. But the gauntlet the team has faced to open this Big 12 season hasn’t made life any easier for Schneider to earn his first league win. Six of the first seven opponents that KU has to face are nationally ranked. No. 25 KSU (12-4) earned a spot in the polls for the first time since 2012. The Jayhawks are currently 0-3 against their ranked foes.

Streaking Junior guard Jessica Washington continues to be the team’s saving grace through

a winless start to league play.

The transfer has led the team in scoring in three of the four games in conference play, including three double-digit efforts. As of right now, Washington is averaging 16.8 points per contest in the Big 12, which ranks her third in the league.

Slumping Not all transfers are having a smooth introduction to the Big 12. Sophomore guard McKenzie Calvert has yet to reach double figures in league play. She hasn’t been able to score more than three points against league opponents.

To put that in comparison, Calvert began the year as the team’s leading option on offense, courtesy of four consecutive games in doubledigits to start the season.

“We talked in the huddle about how there were no nine-point plays,” Jackson said. “We didn’t know how fast we were gonna come back, but we knew we were gonna do it.”

That comeback became a reality, in large part, because of the play of the Jayhawks’ leader, Frank Mason III, whose sensational and sizzling start to the second half willed the Jayhawks right back into the game and never let doubt or the fear of losing enter the Jayhawks’ minds.

“It’s just amazing,” said Jackson of all Mason did during a 28-point night, two off of a career high. “(He’s) one of the toughest guards in the country.

We all trust him a lot and when he gets it going like that we all know to try to find him.”

After jogging off the floor with their heads down at halftime, the Jayhawks, clearly stunned by their sloppy first half, emerged from the locker room with a new mentality and champion’s swagger.

Shots came easier, minds looked more free and the ball went in the basket at a rapid rate.

Kansas made seven of its first 10 shots of the second half for a 13-0 spurt and answered the 24-6 run the Sooners used to close the first half with a

KANSAS FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS (33) HOOKS A SHOT OVER Oklahoma guard Jordan Woodard (10).

20-6 run of their own to reclaim a five-point lead just five minutes into the second half.

KU’s run, along with its lead, stretched to 29-11 at the 12-minute mark, with Mason accounting for 15 of those and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who missed all three shots he took in 15 first-half minutes,

swishing three 3-pointers as Mason’s wing man.

“That first three he made to start the second half got the lid off for him,” said Self of Mykhailiuk, who finished with nine points and nine rebounds in 34 minutes.

“Little things like that make a big difference and then, of course, Frank

took over. He took over and everybody else kind of just followed.”

Mason, who entered the night as the Big 12’s scoring leader at 19.9 points per game, went over the 20-point mark with a 3-pointer with 14:00 to play.

The senior point guard who lived up to his Fear-

less Frank moniker finished 11-of-19 from the floor, including 5-of-6 from 3-point range and made big play after big play and big shot after big shot to help Kansas outscore Oklahoma 5434 in the decisive second half.

“I think our second half was pretty good and

that’s the way we need to play moving forward,” Mason said. “I think we came out more aggressive on the defensive end.

We rebounded the ball the way coach wanted us to in the second half and I think that was the difference in the game.”

to life and how much is genuine frustration boiling over and rifling off the tongue. So I asked Self.

“I’d say it’s probably 50/50,” Self said. “No matter what, you want to tell them how to attack better at whatever they’re doing wrong. But also, jolt’s a fine term. I don’t know if they were jolted at halftime tonight, but certainly I tried to.”

Oh, they were jolted, all right.

Clearly, Self picked the right spot, volume and colorful language, which was his secondsmartest move of the night, ranking behind his decision to put Frank Mason in the lineup.

He doesn’t deserve any credit for that one, of course. Mason scored 18 of his game-high 28

points in the first 10:04 of the second half, the most phenomenal outburst of an amazing career.

Mason will have an off night sooner or later because everyone does and when that happens, another first half such as Tuesday’s could cost the Jayhawks, winners of 15 in a row.

“We were so passive and soft,” Self said of a first half that put him in a rotten mood. “OU was quicker. They were better than us the first half without question.

We didn’t rebound at all, didn’t compete. Second half, we challenged our guys a little bit.”

A “little bit” is a relative term. Whatever the tone, the volume, shade of blue, it was precisely what his players needed to hear.

to come out with more energy the second half, rebound and play defense a little better, and I think we did that.”

Self doesn’t apply the verbal paddles at halftime as often as some might guess. He picks his spots, knowing that if it were to become a habit, it would lose its, well, shock value.

“That was one of those games where you had to flip the switch at halftime,” Self said. “Usually you don’t do that.”

I’ve always wondered when a coach plays the verbal-shocker card, how much of it is intended to jolt the players back

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) SLAPS HAND WITH A GATHERING OF JAYHAWK FANS following KU’s 81-70 victory over Oklahoma on Tuesday night at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla.

NOTEBOOK

Mason had different look late

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Norman, Okla. — Coming from a man who has coached three consensus first-team All-Americans, five others who earned All-American honors of some type and nine NBA lottery picks during his 14 seasons at Kansas, the words KU coach Bill Self heaped upon Kansas guard Frank Mason III following Tuesday’s 81-70 victory over Oklahoma sure carried a lot of weight.

“Well, it’s big. Every team wishes they had one,” said Self of Mason following the senior guard’s 28-point explosion that saved the Jayhawks at Lloyd Noble Center on Tuesday night.

“We’ve been pretty blessed; we’ve had some pretty good players. But I don’t know if we’ve ever had anybody who can score points in bunches like he can any better.”

To be clear, by anybody, Self was including Andrew Wiggins, Thomas Robinson, Perry Ellis, Ben McLemore, Sherron Collins and countless others in his from-the-heartand-not-the-hip praise of his current point guard,

who scored 19 points after halftime, including 15 in a 29-11 Kansas spurt that put the Jayhawks (151 overall, 4-0 Big 12) back in control early in the second half.

Despite having been around him more than just about anyone since the summer of 2013, Self said he still can’t quite identify Mason’s moods and modes and has started to just sit back and enjoy the show.

“I can’t read him,” Self said of Mason, who Tuesday passed Wilt Chamberlain on KU’s all-time scoring list.

“And if you think you can, you’re only kidding yourself. Because nobody can. He’s a unique guy. He’s stone-faced.

He doesn’t show a lot of emotion. But you could tell there was someNick Krug/Journal-World Photo thing different about KU’S FRANK MASON III, RIGHT, SHOOTS OVER Oklahoma’s him in the second half.”

Darrion Strong-Moore.

Another milestone Tuesday’s victory was win No. 400 at Kansas for Self, who, earlier this year, also recorded the 600th victory of his soonto-be-Hall-of-Fame career. Self is now 400-84 all-time at KU, good for an .826 winning percentage, the best of any coach

to ever walk the sidelines at Kansas.

Asked after the game if picking up the milestone win in his home state of Oklahoma added any extra significance to the night, Self demonstrated that he was much more interested in adding to

Woodard plays Oklahoma senior Jordan Woodard, who missed the Sooners previous four games because of injury returned to action against the Jayhawks despite being ruled out earlier in the week.

Woodard, one of the key contributors to last year’s Final Four team, scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting in 24 minutes. He did not start but received a loud ovation and introduction from the OU public address announcer upon checking into the game for the first time with 11:31 to play in the first half.

attendance at Tuesday’s game.

A 13-year NBA veteran with the Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder franchise, Collison led the Jayhawks to back-to-back Final Fours and a berth in the national title game in 2003 before leaving Lawrence.

Other notable faces in the crowd at Tuesday’s game include Thunder GM Sam Presti, former Duke star Trajan Langdon, now a scout for the San Antonio Spurs and several other NBA scouts.

This and that...

Kansas now leads the all-time series with Oklahoma, 145-66, including a 51-42 mark in Norman and a 20-15 clip at Lloyd Noble Center.... KU has not lost since the season opener against Indiana in Honolulu. The 15-game winning streak is the sixth longest in the Bill Self era.... KU senior Landen Lucas’ 10-point, 13-rebound night marked his third double-double in four Big 12 games this season.... The Jayhawks shot .833 from the free throw line (15-of-18), marking their best performance at the line this season.

Easiest Sheet-pan Salmon Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: 4 fillets salmon, skin removed, about 5 ounces each 1/3 cup almond flour or almond meal (can substitute panko bread crumbs) 1 1/2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence (or dried oregano or thyme) 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 bunch of asparagus,

cleaned and trimmed, about 1 pound 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon pepper lemon wedges for serving Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pat the salmon dry gently with a paper towel.

On a small plate, mix the almond flour, herbs, garlic, lemon zest, half the salt, and pepper with a fork until wellblended. Sprinkle or brush the lemon juice even on top of the salmon fillets. Dip the top of the salmon fillets into the almond flour crumbs, gently pressing them into the top of the fillets, evenly dividing the almond flour and herb mixture among the fillets. Place the fillets on the sheet pan. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and remaining salt. Place around the salmon fillets. Cook until salmon reaches 135 internal temperature and asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.

Serve with lemon wedges.

ig provisions are required to watch the big game, and nothing’s more substantial than a burger, even in its miniform — the slider.

Indeed, if you plan to serve a variety of dishes for the Super Bowl, sliders are more sensible than the full-sized guys. But they happen to be a little trickier to cook than a standard-issue burger. The slider’s size makes it tough to put a nice crust on the outside while ensuring that it doesn’t overcook on the inside.

These sliders are adapted from a burger I used to make at a bar in Ann Arbor, Mich., called the Del Rio — my first job as a cook.

Dubbed the Det Burger, this marvel was dreamed up before I landed at the Del Rio by a cook named Bob Detweiler, who christened the creation after himself. The heart of the original version was a quarterpounder topped by “the Det mix” — canned mushrooms, canned olives, grilled onions, freeze-dried green peppers and slices of cheese.

But there also was a secret ingredient: beer. The Det Burger was steamed in beer. If it wasn’t quite “the burger that made Ann Arbor famous,” it was undeniably a citywide favorite.

A generation later, I assembled the same winning combo of ingredients — though in a fresher form — and then focused on the cooking process to make sure that these mini-burgers ended up both juicy and crusty. There are a few key points to preparing Beer-Steamed Cheese and Mushroom Beef Sliders.

First, the sliders need to be about 3/4 inch thick, not only so they don’t overcook, but also so you can fit all of them at one time into the skillet. Second, the skillet needs to be large, a 12-incher.

If you don’t have a skillet that big, use two smaller ones and cook six sliders in each. And third, whichever skillet you use, the oil must be heated until it’s almost smoking. > SLIDERS, 2CRA
