Kan. still grappling with equal rights ——

Abortion, voting among issues being debated 149 years after passage of 14th Amendment

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

for its military men’s pleasure during World War II. Goodman himself translated it as a 20-year-old second lieutenant in the Army’s Military Intelligence Service, and what he did with the document decades later is credited with contributing to Japan’s 1993 formal apology to former prostitutes now known as “comfort women.”

When Kansas lawmakers gathered back at the Statehouse on Jan. 11, few probably realized it was an important anniversary in state legislative history.

On that same day in 1867, not yet two full years after the end of the Civil War, the Kansas Senate voted 23-0 to pass a resolution ratifying the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The House had given its approval, 767, the day before.

Kansas was only the ninth state to ratify the amendment. It would take another year and a half, until LEGISLATURE July 28, 1868, before it was fully ratified, and then only after Congress had made ratification a condition for the former Confederate states to re-enter the Union.

And Kansas was still such a new state at the time, the Legislature didn’t even meet in what is now the Statehouse. Instead, according to the Kansas State Historical Society, the House and Senate met in various locations around Topeka, in churches and office buildings, and in a building known as Topeka’s Constitution Hall, where the first free-state constitution was drafted.

The 14th Amendment was one of three post-war amendments that were supposed to put the issues of slavery and racial discrimination to

“RESEARCH REPORT NO. 120: AMENITIES IN THE JAPANESE ARMED FORCES” is part of former KU professor Grant Goodman’s personal papers, now archived at KU’s Spencer Research Library. The report, which Goodman translated for the U.S. Army during World War II, proves Japan had government-controlled brothels — featuring enslaved “comfort girls” from across Asia — specifically for its military men’s pleasure during World War II.

Mom gets 34 years for locking girl in closet Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — A Kansas City woman whose daughter was 10 years old and weighed just 32 pounds when she was rescued from a closet was sentenced Friday to 34 years in prison.

The mother yelled at the judge before being escorted out in handcuffs and screamed all the way down the hallway as supporters followed her in tears, The Kansas City Star reported. Jurors who convicted her in November of endangering, abusing and assaulting the girl had recommended the sentence.

The Associated Press isn’t naming the mother to protect the child’s identity.

Police officers found the emaciated girl barricaded in the closet in a Kansas City apartment in June 2012 while responding to a child abuse hotline call. She wore a toddlersize shirt and weighed about half what a girl her age should have weighed, witnesses testified during the mother’s trial.

Prosecutors said the

girl didn’t attend school or receive adequate medical care. They argued the abuse left her so weak that she had a heart transplant in 2013.

Defense witnesses said her heart disease could have had “a vast number of causes.”

The daughter, who is now 14, testified earlier that she was largely kept in the darkened closet and that when she was allowed out, she usually stayed behind the couch or on the floor. Some days she was given no food at all and when she did have food, she usually ate it in the closet or behind the couch.

The woman’s attorney argued that she had a personality disorder and other mental health issues that made her believe she was protecting her daughter by keeping her in the closet. Prosecutors have said that the mother’s difficulties had not prevented her from caring for her two younger daughters, who were always well dressed, with their hair braided.

rest. It’s the one that says, among other things, that states may not deprive their citizens of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any of them equal protection under the laws.

It was a milestone in American legal history because until then, the Constitution only prohibited Congress from denying due process or equal protection. It said nothing about what states could or couldn’t do.

But today, 149 years later, issues that are embedded in the 14th Amendment continue to stir controversy in statehouses around the country, on issues ranging from abortion to gay rights, and from even voting rights to school finance.

Richard Levy, who teaches constitutional law at the Kansas University School of Law, said it’s not surprising that state governments are continually embroiled in 14th Amendment controversies.

“The first thing to understand is, the 14th Amendment substantially restricts the power of state governments. It imposes requirements on them that they didn’t used to have,” Levy said.

“Whenever the Constitution limits state power, you get some resistance to that,” he said. “There were resistances to original provisions of the Constitution, some of those still sort of persist, and where the Constitution in other provisions restricts states’ power, you sometimes get conflicts.”

Abortion Even before the 2016 session got underway, abortion was already front-and-center before the Kansas Court of Appeals in a case challenging an abortion bill lawmakers passed last year, and the 14th Amendment was at the center of that case.

In the landmark case Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court said that a woman’s right to have an abortion was protected as part of the Constitution’s guaranty of a right to privacy — a right not specifically mentioned, but which the court, seven years earlier, had found to exist nonetheless.

As a result, the court said, the 14th Amendment puts great restrictions on the authority of states to interfere with that right because doing so could deprive them of “liberty” without due process of law.

In the case before the Kansas court, plaintiffs argue that the same guarantees of due process and equal protection found in the 14th Amendment must also be found in the Kansas Constitution.

But Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office argued the words “due process” do not appear anywhere in the Kansas Constitution, and so if plaintiffs want to sue under a due process claim, they must go to federal court, not to state courts.

A decision in that case is expected at any time.

Meanwhile, in his State of the State address Tuesday night, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback announced another initiative aimed at restricting access to abortion in Kansas.

“Today, I am directing (Kansas Department of Health and Environment) Secretary Susan Mosier

“

When you have judicial decisions that tread into highly volatile, controversial areas, states are more likely to be resistant to judicial interpretations.”

— Richard Levy, who teaches constitutional law at Kansas University to ensure that not a single dollar of taxpayer money goes to Planned Parenthood through our Medicaid program,” Brownback said. “I welcome legislation that would enshrine this directive in state law.”

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri immediately issued a statement announcing it would challenge that order.

“Several states including Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana have tried and failed to cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood health centers,” the organization said.

“Courts have repeatedly ruled the measure unconstitutional.”

Gay rights Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in a 6-3 decision, that the 14th Amendment requires states to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to give full recognition to those marriages.

That came on the heels of a 2003 decision in which the court used the 14th Amendment to strike down sodomy laws in Texas, Kansas and elsewhere that criminalized homosexual activity.

Yet, just in the first week of the 2016 session, the issue of gay rights came up no fewer than three times in the Kansas Legislature: twice in the context of whether the state can discriminate against same-sex couples seeking to become foster parents or adoptive parents; and once in the form of a bill seeking to add sexual orientation to the list of classifications included in the Kansas Act Against Discrimination.

“It’s an equal protection argument. Everyone gets equal protection of the laws,” said Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas, a gay rights advocacy group.

But Levy, KU’s constitutional law professor, said gay rights is a classic example of issues that draw conflict in state governments because it’s a set of rights not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, but rather interpreted to be there by the courts.

“When you have judicial decisions that tread into highly volatile, controversial areas, states are more likely to be resistant to judicial interpretations,” he said. “For something as significant as same-sex marriage, for example, it may take a while before the ruling of the court becomes acceptable.”

Voting rights As the Legislature is meeting, both a state court and a federal court are weighing a law enacted in 2011, requiring all new voters in Kansas to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

In the federal court case, the arguments challenging that law are firmly rooted in the 14th Amendment.

“The Plaintiffs, both U.S. citizens and Kansas residents, have had their right to vote infringed by the documentation requirement,” the plaintiffs stated in their complaint.

“This overly broad burden is not narrowly tailored to any compelling state interest which renders the law violative of

the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

For his part, though, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who pushed for the law, says there is a compelling state interest in requiring proof of citizenship, preventing nonU.S. citizens from voting in Kansas elections.

And he says the requirement to show proof of citizenship should not be an onerous burden on anyone who truly wants to vote.

All that is required under the law is a birth certificate, a passport or some other form of identification that shows a person was born in the United States or has since become a naturalized citizen.

The court is expected to hold a hearing soon on the plaintiffs’ motion for an injunction to prevent state and county officials from canceling the applications of all those who have attempted to register, but have not produced the required documents after more than 90 days.

School finance The 14th Amendment, or at least the concept behind it, is also central to the ongoing battle over school finance in Kansas.

The Kansas Constitution imposes a duty on the Legislature to make “suitable provision” for financing public schools.

It also contains an equal protection clause similar to the ones in the Fifth and 14th Amendments.

In a series of cases, Kansas courts have ruled that those provisions mean the state must provide enough money for schools to produce the outcomes that are expected, and that the money the state provides must be distributed equitably among all the districts so that the quality of education a child receives does not vary depending on where he or she grows up.

A case is now pending before the Kansas Supreme Court that challenges the current school funding mechanism under both of those grounds. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the equity portion of the case sometime during the 2016 session.

Levy said the 14th Amendment continues to be a source of controversy and litigation because it seems so simple on its face, but is infinitely more complex under the surface.

“Take a simple phrase, like the equal protection of the laws. That phrase seems simple, but think about all the different laws and all the different ways in which the laws treat people differently, and try to decide exactly how that principle is going to apply,” he said.

“One hundred and forty-nine years of equal protection doesn’t mean you have 149 years of knowing exactly what it means,” he said. “And it doesn’t mean that particular judicial decisions have been around that long. When you have novel judicial interpretations that change the law in ways that go against what some people have become accustomed to, you may get resistance.”

As the demands on the Lawrence school district’s wireless Internet system have increased, so have its problems. With the hiring of a Wi-Fi services and consulting firm, the district hopes to get to the root of the issues.

Since the district purchased a more than $1 million Wi-Fi system in 2014, problems with login, dead spots, weak signal and slow load time have persisted through troubleshooting. At its meeting Jan. 11, the Lawrence

Kaitlyn Preut, a senior at Lawrence High School, said a couple of her classes consistently require use of the Internet or online material, and that the issues are frustrating and waste class time. Improvements to Wi-Fi would benefit students, she said.

“It will save a lot of class time of students having to wait a long time to get logged in or for things to load,” she said.

The 10,500 students across the district’s 21 schools all use wireless connections to some degree, but recent initiatives have increased reliance.

The start of this school year brought increases in blended-learning classrooms that use online materials for instruction, as well as courses with

digital textbooks. More than 90 percent of students use at least one digital textbook, and there are about 250 blendedlearning classrooms.

Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of educational programs, recognized the need to fix the issues with the district’s Wi-Fi. “We’re disappointed that there are a few places where there are dead spots or that it is slow at times,” Kemble said. “We want to be on top of that and make sure that we get things

We omitted some answers from the word cloud, including those that said “I don’t know,” or a similar sentiment. The total number of answers was still about 1,000.

Before answering this question and the next, respondents were asked whether they were registered voters in Lawrence. They only moved on in the survey if they answered “yes.”

In an online survey from the school district, which will be collected through Wednesday, stakeholders are asked what the superintendent should be aware of when he or she comes to the district.

The answers “funding” and “budget” — and all other answers centered on the same issue — dominated the results. Together, they accounted for 29.7 percent of answers.

Gov. Sam Brownback was cited as the nexthighest challenge, with 2.6 percent of answers.

The remaining answers accounted for less than 1 percent each. Some of those were: “inequality,” “growth,” “technology,” “liberals” and “teacher retention.” The margin of error for these results was 0.1 to 1.7 percentage points.

As with the previous question, we omitted some answers that didn’t apply.

“Why are we having poor performance in certain places?” she said. “We need to know where the issues are, so this company will help us to identify that, fix it and then be able to maintain it.”

The first meeting with the consultants will be Jan. 28, after which the three-month survey will begin to determine the

Work on the system will be done over the summer, with updates in place for the beginning of the next school year.

purpose. An automatic rifle cast entirely in salt is dubbed “A Salt Weapon.”

“There’s a lot of humor involved,” Waddell said, “and there’s a sinister aspect, too, if you take it in.”

The exhibit also includes carefully crafted game bags that evoke the shapes of specific creatures and appear designed to jolt the viewer’s ease with the death of animals: The canvas shapes are titled “body bags” instead of game bags.

Waddell’s hope for the exhibit is in part to generate conversation about guns in a country where “attitudes are almost set in concrete,” he said.

“These are things that we can talk about and should talk about in a reasoned fashion,” he added.

A rancher, he goes on to explain, knows what it is like to shoot a deformed calf while the animal is looking at him. By contrast, human death is “antiseptic.”

“Someone shoots someone else with a gun and people with body bags and mops clean the spot before the five o’clock news,” he wrote.

It is this perspective, one of a man who has experience ranching and hunting, that comes out in an exhibit of sculptures opened Tuesday at Washburn University’s Mulvane Art Museum. This perspective is perhaps surprising, given the content of the collection: works that not only reflect on death but also question and even poke fun at gun ownership, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

In the letter, Jim Johnson, manager of the FAA’s airports division in the central region, also asked that the findings from the study include guidance on where parachutists should land. He wrote that city officials had expressed concern that skydiving would delay the emergency response time of Life Star of Kansas and asked that the air ambulance operation be taken into consideration in the study.

Concerns Though the FAA is tasked with making sure all aircraft using an airport can do so safely, the FAA does not regulate parachuting, Cory said.

The sport is self-regulated by the United States Parachute Association.

Iowa and Illinois.

Peek said he’s talked to at least two of the people who have made requests to use the Lawrence airport. Officials at many airports have some concern with the sport, Peek said, but when it came to delays in responding to requests and the level of concern, Lawrence is severe.

“Sometimes these things happen, and we just don’t know why people are so dead set against skydiving,” Peek said.

“Skydiving generally generates a lot of objection from airports, and this

one is pretty extreme.”

About the city’s concerns with skydiving affecting air ambulance operations, Peek said that response, too, was “extreme.”

“When it gets all solved, it turns out they don’t (have a negative effect), but people imagine they do,” Peek said.

He used the Hannibal, Mo., Regional Airport as an example, saying it houses both parachute landing areas and an air ambulance operation.

“It’s just not a problem,” he said.

Recent requests City Public Works Director Chuck Soules said there were six requests in 2015 to use the airport as a skydiving drop zone.

Prior to that, skydiving operator and Lawrence resident William McCauley had made multiple requests, the most recent of which was in April 2014, McCauley said.

One request in 2015 came from Paul Fortier, a skydiving hobbyist from Omaha, Neb. Fortier said he and a group of friends regularly fly past Lawrence on the way to other drop zones in the Midwest, and they sought to use the airport because of its location and convenience.

According to copies of emails provided by Fortier, his first request was emailed to the city June 12, and he was told more than a month later the request was being reviewed.

Fortier followed up Aug. 1, saying in an email that “normally this type of request moves much more rapidly — sometimes minutes, more often hours,

seldom days, and I’ve never seen durations in weeks or months.”

The city responded again Aug. 10 saying the airport was working with the FAA, and Fortier wrote back again Oct. 1 but didn’t receive a response.

“It’s just foot-dragging,” Fortier said in a November interview. “It’s been a little bit of an exercise in frustration. If it wasn’t for the foot-dragging, and if they’d been reasonable in talking to me, I would have dropped the whole thing. … I’ve flown right over Lawrence, and I’ll refuel at other airports on purpose because I won’t spend money where I’m

not welcome.”

That safety study is currently in progress, Cory said. She said via email there was no estimate of when the study would be complete, only that “studies take as long as they need to in order to fully examine all of the airspace components.”

Johnson’s letter asks that the Wichita office let Lawrence officials know whether certain airport or air-traffic provisions need to be implemented to keep the area safe during skydiving operations.

Incentive cap City commissioners should be careful not to set incentive caps so restrictive that they discourage positive developments.

L

awrence city commissioners have some valid questions about how the city has used tax abatements as a development incentive, but they should be careful not to clamp down so hard on the practice that they lose the flexibility they need to take advantage of desirable opportunities.

During a study session last week, commissioners agreed that incentives should be used primarily to create permanent, full-time jobs with good wages and benefits. That’s a good priority, and commissioners aren’t the only ones to wonder whether tax abatements have become too large and too common in Lawrence, especially for retail or residential projects that provide limited job opportunities.

However, a proposal to cap tax abatements for any project at 50 percent and 10 years could seriously handicap the city’s efforts to attract a major manufacturer or other large job-creating development. Commissioner Matthew Herbert proposed the cap, which was supported

by Commissioners Lisa Larsen and Stuart Boley. Mayor Mike Amyx said he was concerned about setting a 50 percent cap on manufacturing development.

It’s understandable that commissioners want to reduce the amount of property tax revenue being lost to abatements, but they need to weigh that concern against the impact that a 50 percent abatement cap could have on the city’s ability to compete against other communities for desirable projects. As Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard noted, “We’re in a region where there’s a lot of land that is available, developed and ready for industrial development.

Many communities are up to 100 percent on an abatement, depending on what kind of business it is.”

Lawrence is an attractive community, but it still needs to offer incentives that are at least in the ballpark of what other communities are offering if it wants to be seriously considered for a major development.

Commissioners also discussed other restrictions, such as placing limits on the types of businesses that could locate in transportation development districts and tax increment financing districts. Herbert suggested that developers seeking industrial revenue bonds be required to prove their projects wouldn’t be feasible without the incentive. The ideas discussed on Tuesday and any others the commission identifies in the next couple of weeks will be compiled and made available for review by the public as well as city advisory committees. The process likely will serve a useful purpose by reinforcing some of the commissioners’ proposals and perhaps tempering others.

City commissioners need to find a way to address their incentive concerns without squelching development proposals that the community would welcome with open arms. They have the final say on any tax abatement deal, but they shouldn’t set a policy that’s so restrictive that it keeps those proposals from ever making it to the city’s desk.

Christie sees opening in GOP race Washington — Iowa and New Hampshire together have just 1.4 percent of the U.S. population, which is actually why it is fine for them to begin the presidential selection process: Small states reward an underdog’s retail politics. Chris Christie relishes such politics and has fresh evidence that voters are enjoying his enjoyment.

Speaking last Wednesday by phone from his home away from home, New Hampshire, he said: “People have remembered why they liked me in the first place.” His saturation campaigning there has produced a 55-point reversal of his favorable/unfavorable rating in the Granite State, from 16 points more unfavorable than favorable to 39 points more favorable than unfavorable. According to last week’s Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll, Christie’s favorability number in Iowa is 51 percent, up from 29 percent in August, when his unfavorability number was 59 percent.

Nationally, among all the Republican candidates, the ABC/Washington Post poll finds Christie’s favorability rating “most improved,” from 35 percent last spring to 53 percent today. He gained among conservatives (23 points), among Republicans generally (18) and independents (14). The latter matters because, as David W. Brady of Stanford and the Hoover Institution wrote last week in The Wall Street Journal: “The arithmetic is pretty simple: 41 percent of voters

“

Nationally, among all the Republican candidates, the ABC/ Washington Post poll finds Christie’s favorability rating ‘most improved,’ from 35 percent last spring to 53 percent today.” in the 2012 presidential election described themselves as moderates, and 29 percent as independents. Almost all Republicans (93 percent) and self-described conservatives (82 percent) voted for Mitt Romney, but that wasn’t enough. Even if Mr. Romney had won every Republican or conservative voter, it still wouldn’t have been enough.

Because there are roughly 5 percent more Democrats than Republicans, the GOP needs a solid majority of independents to win a national election. In 2012 Mitt Romney outpolled Barack Obama among independents, 50 percent to 45 percent. But that didn’t take him across the Electoral College finish line.”

Christie has won twice statewide in a blue state that

last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1988. He correctly says no rival for the Republican nomination has been elected in a state so inhospitable to Republicans. In New Jersey, 48 percent of registered voters are unaffiliated with either the Democratic (32 percent) or Republican (20 percent) parties. Christie won reelection with 60 percent of the vote, including 57 percent of women, 51 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent of African-Americans.

Christie might benefit from Donald Trump’s caroms in this year’s political pinball machine. As Jeremy Carl of the Hoover Institution argues in National Review, Republicans cannot win with Trump or without his supporters. Christie could be an alternative alpha persona, but without the ignorance. (Check Trump on the nuclear triad.) In 2012, Republicans nominated a northeastern blue-state governor, with unsatisfactory results. Christie, however, might be an un-Romney, connecting viscerally with voters — especially whites without college educations — who in 2012 stayed away from the polls in droves.

Christie will campaign in Iowa for nine days before the Feb. 1 caucuses. If they yield a cloudy result — say, the top four finishers clustered within four points — New Hampshire will become the scythe that reduces the field. Christie plans to be “the last governor stand-

ing” when, after South Carolina at the latest, he expects former Govs. Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush and current Gov. John Kasich to join current and former Govs. Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore on the sidelines.

As chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2014, Christie campaigned frenetically, dispersing more than $100 million as 17 Republican governors were reelected and seven new ones were elected. So far, only four governors have endorsed candidates. So, 24 Republican governors, many of them indebted to Christie, have political muscles to flex.

Ted Cruz and Trump are at last at daggers drawn, the former saying the latter has “New York values” — fighting words in most Republican circles — and the latter saying the former is not a natural born citizen. Republicans concerned about losing control of the Senate already wonder whether vulnerable GOP senators — Illinois’ Mark Kirk, Ohio’s Rob Portman, Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey, Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson, New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte — want either Trump or Cruz at the top of the ticket, or even campaigning in their states.

“I was not on the (debate) stage two months ago,” Christie says. He expects to be at the center of the stage at the Cleveland convention.

U.S. immigration fantasies live on Nikki Haley’s 44th birthday is this week. You would think her a little old for fairy tales.

But a bizarre, little-reported remark the South Carolina governor made last week suggests that, age notwithstanding, Haley lives in Fantasyland, at least insofar as American history is concerned. The comment in question came the day after her Tuesday night speech in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, in which she cuffed Donald Trump for his strident anti-Muslim, antiimmigrant bigotry.

Haley told reporters, “When you’ve got immigrants who are coming here legally, we’ve never in the history of this country passed any laws or done anything based on race or religion.”

Some observers found that an astonishing thing for her to say as chief executive of the first state to secede from the Union in defense of slavery, a state that embraced segregation until forced to change by the federal government.

Others observed that any fair reading of Haley’s quote makes it pretty clear she was speaking only in the context of legal immigration.

They’re right. The problem is, even if you concede that point, Haley is still gro-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

And as school systems, under pressure from conservative school boards, retreat from teaching that which embarrasses the nation’s self-image … we find those mythic conceptions encroaching reality to a troubling degree.”

tesquely wrong. She thinks no immigration laws have been passed “based on race or religion”? What about: The Naturalization Act of 1790, which extended citizenship to “any alien, being a free white person”?

Or the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, whose title and intent are self-explanatory?

Or the Immigration Act of 1917, which banned immigrants from East Asia and the Pacific?

Or Ozawa v. U.S., the 1922 Supreme Court decision which declared that Japanese immigrants could not be naturalized?

Or U.S. v. Bhagat Singh Thind, the 1923 high court ruling which said people from India — like Haley’s parents — could not become naturalized citizens?

So yes, however you slice it, Haley is wrong and Haley is ignorant. But one wonders if Haley is to blame.

Americans, the historian Ray Arsenault once said, live by “mythic conceptions of what they think happened” in the past. And as school systems, under pressure from conservative school boards, retreat from teaching that which embarrasses the nation’s self-image, as ethnic studies classes are outlawed, as textbooks are scrubbed of painfully inconvenient truths, as standards requiring the teaching of only “positive aspects” of American history are imposed, we find those mythic conceptions encroaching reality to a troubling degree.

Suddenly, slaves become immigrants and settlers. The Civil War has nothing to do with slavery. Martin Luther King becomes a tea party member. And America has never passed laws “based on

race and religion.”

Yes, Haley’s ignorance might be willful. There’s surely a lot of that going around. But it might also be that she’s simply part of that generation which has been taught fairy tales under the guise of history. Such teaching will leave you comfortably indoctrinated in a kind of civic mythology — and wholly unprepared to interpret or contextualize what’s happening before your eyes.

To wit: What makes Donald Trump’s proposed restrictions on Muslims troubling is not that they represent the coming of something new, but the return of something old, a shameful strain in the American psyche that we have seen too many times before. It is not a deviation from America, but the very stuff of America, an ugly scapegoating that has too often besmirched our character and beguiled us away from our most luminous ideals.

This is something all of us should know, but do not. As a state official, perhaps a candidate for vice president, perhaps eventually a president of the United States, Nikki Haley might someday change history. It would be good if she understood it first.

Report CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Just last month, Japan for the first time pledged government money — $8.3 million — to a foundation supporting the few remaining sex slaves from Korea, now in their 80s and 90s.

Goodman wrote of translating the document and eventually sharing it with the world in the article, “My Own Gaiatsu: A Document from 1945 Provides Proof,” which was printed in the 2001 book, “Legacies of the Comfort Women of World War II.” “I am, of course, proud of the crucial role that my own ‘Revelation’ of the contents of ATIS (Allied Translator and Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120 played in bringing about the Japanese prime minister’s acceptance of responsibility for the socalled ‘comfort women,’” Goodman wrote. “However, as in so many analogous instances, that the Japanese government only made its admission and evidenced contrition after a foreigner provided incontrovertible evidence is truly tragic.” lll

Goodman’s interest in Asia started as a child in Cleveland, where he collected stamps from all over the world and read voraciously, according to his obituary. After high school graduation, he was eager to formally pursue Asian Studies and started college at Princeton University.

In 1943, at 18, Goodman enlisted in the Army after being accepted into a special training program for Military Intelligence Service Japanese Language Officers, according to “My Own Gaiatsu.”

By spring 1945 he was in Manila, the Philippines, assigned to the headquarters of U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Goodman’s job was gathering and translating intelligence on, among other things, the morale of the Japanese military.

One contributing factor was their brothels.

Along with information about athletics, movies and canteen stores, what he learned about the brothels is outlined in detail in a bound document now archived at KU’s Spencer Research Library. Labeled “RESTRICTED,” the booklet is titled: Allied Translator and Interpreter Section Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers Research Report No. 120 Date. 15 Nov 45 AMENITIES IN THE JAPANESE ARMED FORCES lll

According to the

Paul Stephen Lim/Contributed Photo

Grant Goodman pictured while stationed with the U.S. Army in Asia, circa 1945. report, a booklet outlining rules and regulations for brothels in Manila, issued by a Japanese lieutenant colonel, made clear that such “houses of relaxation” were strictly for soldiers and army civilian employees.

Permission from the army was required for everything from hiring new employees to setting prices, and prostitutes were forbidden to leave without army permission.

Employees got one holiday a month and had to pay their own expenses with one exception: “Medical expenses for illnesses arising from overwork will be met seventy percent by the managers and thirty percent by the hostesses. The diagnosis of an army physician will be the basis for determining whether any particular illness is due to overwork.”

Rules on hygiene were extensive.

Hostesses were required to be examined by an army physician once a week for venereal diseases and other illnesses, and forbidden from “entertaining” guests while sick.

Research Report No. 120 includes similar rules and other information about military brothels in Japan-occupied areas of the Philippines, Shanghai, Papua New Guinea, Burma and Indonesia.

There also are rate charts — indicating Korean prostitutes were more expensive than Chinese, and Japanese were more expensive than Korean — and various required forms for medical examinations and business operations.

A prisoner of war who had operated a military brothel in Burma said in the report that he and his wife purchased 22 Korean women from their families, with prices based on their looks, personalities and ages.

Army authorities paid for the passage and medical treatment of the “comfort girls.”

“When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to Korea, and then considered free,” according to the

report. “But owing to war conditions, no one of prisoner of war’s group had so far been allowed to leave.” lll

At the time he translated it, the material didn’t arouse any special interest since the U.S. military “knew well” the Japanese were operating brothels for their armed forces, Goodman wrote in “My Own Gaiatsu.”

“Speaking personally, however, at the then tender age of 20 and being a very innocent youth from a middle-class American family in Ohio, I found these data very informative,” he wrote.

“Accordingly, after our report was published for circulation at GHQ, I managed to keep a copy and mailed it home with a request that my parents keep it for me until my return from overseas.”

Goodman didn’t dig it out again until 1992, when he read an Associated Press story about a Japanese university professor named Yoshimi Yoshiaki who’d found documents in Defense Agency archives showing the Japanese government’s direct involvement in the WWII brothels.

However, Goodman wrote, the Japanese government questioned the authenticity of Yoshimi’s documents.

Goodman found this surprising.

After all, he and other Americans had known about the brothels and comfort women, or ianfu in Japanese, nearly 50 years, and he still had his copy of Research Report No. 120.

“Its contents were extremely specific and left no doubt of Japanese government responsibility for the ianfu brothels,” he said. “The question became what my next move should be.” lll

Goodman mailed a copy of Research Report No. 120 to a Japanese journalist — one who’d interviewed him previously on another subject and called back to factcheck and verify quotes, Goodman wrote.

Washington Bureau ended up with the scoop of his career.

In February 1992, a story on the report’s contents broke on the front page of nearly every Japanese newspaper and TV news program.

“The report, made available to Kyodo News Service by Professor Grant Goodman, a former translator of Imperial Japanese Army documents and now a Japanese scholar at the University of Kansas, provides the most detailed account yet on the controversial brothel operation run and abetted by the Japanese military in occupied Asian territories,” the story said, according to an English translation on file at KU. In response to the media reports, Goodman said he received appreciative calls and letters from friends and strangers alike. He also received a call from the consulate general of Japan in Kansas City and, after consulting with his attorney, agreed to meet a consulate representative and provide him a copy of the document, too. lll

Subsequent national and international pressure mounted on the Japanese government to admit its forceful recruitment of sex workers to service the Japanese military, Goodman wrote. In August 1993, the Japanese government issued a public admission and formal apology.

Historians say there were at least tens of thousands of Asian comfort women working in the Japanese military brothels.

The new comfort women settlement, announced in late December, has been called a landmark in the decadeslong impasse on the issue between Japan and South Korea, where many women came from.

However, as recently as last year, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his allies — pressured by the right wing to scrap the 1993 apology — agreed to again review the evidence that led to it, according to a New York Times article on the settlement.

In 2007 Abe also publicly denied there was evidence to indicate Japan coerced women to work in the brothels, after which the Journal-World interviewed Goodman for his reaction.

“I was disbelieving,” Goodman told the newspaper. “I thought, ‘This is cuckoo, why now? This issue has been buried for years.’” lll

“Gaiatsu” means “foreign pressure.”

In his article “My Own Gaiatsu,”

Goodman bemoans that’s apparently what it took to spur the comfort women apology.

After the war, Goodman completed his bachelor’s degree from Princeton in 1948 and went on to complete a master’s in Far Eastern studies and a doctorate in Japanese history from the University of Michigan, according to his obituary.

He joined the KU faculty in 1962, became Travis Arey, a full professor in 1967 works in and co-directed KU’s teleconferencing, Center for East Asian Lawrence Studies.

Vitamin D, Probiotics Lessen Symptoms of Allergies Two recent studies have found that supplemental vitamin D and probiotics—used separately—can ease symptoms of different types of allergies In the first study, Jill A. Poole, MD, and her colleagues at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, treated 42 patients with chronic urticaria, also known as hives. All of the subjects were given the standard three-drug treatment regimen (cetirizine, ranitidine, and montelukast). They were also given either 4,000 IU or 600 IU of vitamin D daily for 12 weeks.

By the end of the study, the drug therapy reduced the patients’ urticaria severity scores (USS) by an average of 33 percent. People taking the high dose of vitamin D had a further decrease in USS to 40 percent, reflecting a significant reduction in symptoms. People taking the low dose of vitamin D did not have any additional benefits.

Meanwhile, French and other European researchers tested the effects of Lactobacillus paracasei (related to L. casei) supplements and placebos on 425 people with hay fever.

After five weeks, people taking the probiotics had greater overall improvements in their symptoms.

Although their nasal allergy symptoms did not improve, their eye symptoms did get significantly better.

Other studies have found that probiotics strongly influence the immune system and modify how immune cells react to pollen.

Finally... The Five-Second Food Rule When it comes to picking up and eating dropped food, many people tend to follow the five-second rule. It is a valid approach, according to a recent study conducted at Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Researchers found that the length of time did influence the transfer of bacteria from the floor to food. So did the type of flooring.

Bacteria were least likely to be transferred from carpeting to food, but more likely to be transferred from hard floors to moist food.

The United Nation’s atomic agency certified Saturday that Iran has met its commitments under a landmark nuclear deal with six world powers, triggering the lifting of international sanctions.

“Iran has completed the necessary preparatory steps to start the implementation,” said Yukiya Amano, director general of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), referring to the pact signed in July. “This paves the way for the IAEA to begin verifying and monitoring Iran’s nuclear-related commitments under the agreement,” Amano said. “It is an important day for the international community.”

Certification was the final step to

allow Iran to immediately begin to recoup about $100 billion in assets frozen overseas. Iran expects to increase its oil production capacity and to launch infrastructure projects.

In an executive order, President Obama revoked nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. He told Congress the move is warranted because of a “fundamental shift in circumstances” in Iran’s nuclear program.

Secretary of State John Kerry said the lifting of the sanctions expands “the opportunity for the Iranian people,” he said. “Today marks the first day of a safer world.”

Letters from Lawrence Phillips reveal a different side of the troubled former athlete

BAKERSFIELD, CALIF.

The letter from Lawrence Phillips arrived on Friday, the same day a coroner ruled the former football star’s death on early Wednesday was a suicide.

The return address was Kern County (Calif.) State Prison, where Phillips, 40, was serving a 31-year sentence and facing murder charges in the death of his cellmate. The letter was addressed to Tony Lidgett, a criminal defense attorney in Bakersfield. It was dated Jan. 7, the day Phillips mouthed across a courtroom to Lidgett that Phillips was staying with his attorney.

“Please allow me to apologize

for wasting your time,” the letter from Phillips began.

Phillips was searching for new legal representation when he met with Lidgett several days before the Jan 7 hearing. On Tuesday, about a week after that meeting, Phillips again appeared in court, this time to hear a judge declare there was enough evidence to try him for murder. A few hours later, Phillips was dead in what has been ruled a suicide.

The letter to Lidgett solved a smaller mystery. Phillips had discovered he couldn’t secure money soon enough to provide the attorney’s retainer, he explained.

“I am hopeful that this waste of your time was not too much of an inconvenience,” Phillips wrote. “I

When President Obama invited a Syrian refugee to watch his State of the Union Address in person last Tuesday, he all but guaranteed the controversy over allowing refugees into the United States will be a major theme of the 2016 presidential election.

From Syrians fleeing their country’s civil war to Central Americans escaping their countries’ drug wars, the U.S. has faced a rush to its borders that has sparked a heated political debate.

Taiwan elects pro-independence, first female president Some see her win as Beijing referendum Thomas Maresca

Special for USA TODAY

Taiwan voters made history Saturday, electing pro-independence party candidate Tsai Ingwen as the first female president of the country in a landslide victory.

In a speech following her win, Tsai, 59, of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said the election results showed that “people want a government

Democratic Progressive Party candidate Tsai Ing-wen, now president-elect, casts her ballot in Taipei, Taiwan.

that is more transparent and accountable.”

“I will rebuild the people’s trust in government and create a stable foundation for Taiwan’s future development,” she said at a news conference following the concession of her opponent, Eric Chu of the ruling Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang (KMT).

Several hours after polling closed, final election results showed that Tsai received 56.1% of the popular vote to 31% for Chu. Results indicated her DPP party will take control of Taiwan’s parliament, the Legislative Yuan, for the first time in the country’s history.

Tsai’s victory was widely expected. Voters have grown weary of a sluggish economy, which grew only 1% last year, and wages that have long been stagnant under the leadership of the KMT and outgoing President Ma Ying-jeou.

The result could be seen as a referendum on Taiwan’s relationship with its cross-strait neighbor, China, which was strengthened significantly under Ma. The economic benefits of deeper integration with China never materialized for most ordinary citizens, and many voters, especially younger ones, have grown resistant to China exerting

too much control over Taiwan.

China still considers the island part of its territory and has never ruled out taking it back by force.

The United States congratulated Tsai on her victory and said it looked forward to working with all of Taiwan’s leaders to advance common interests.

“We also congratulate the people on Taiwan for once again demonstrating the strength of their robust democratic system,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

“We share with the Taiwan people a profound interest in the continuation of cross-strait peace and stability.”

TWIN DIPLOMATIC MOVES INTERSECT v CONTINUED FROM 1B

in the time since we reached an agreement last July, there was significant pickup in that dialogue.”

Iran also agreed to allow Rezaian’s wife, Yeganeh Salehi, who is an Iranian citizen, to leave the country with him, U.S. officials said, The Washington Post reported. She is a correspondent for The National, a newspaper based in the United Arab Emirates.

Earlier, an unnamed U.S. official said in an email from the State Department that the U.S. offered clemency to seven Iranians, including six with U.S.-Iranian citizenship, who had been convicted or are pending trial in the United States.

The U.S. also agreed to drop efforts to seek the extradition of 14 Iranians on unspecified charges.

Iranian officials said the 14 were being sought for alleged involve-

ment in the purchase of arms from the U.S. to Iran In addition, the official said Iran committed to continue cooperating with the United States to determine the whereabouts of Robert Levinson, an American who disappeared in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA on an unapproved intelligence mission.

U.S. officials are unsure if the former FBI agent is still alive. Iranian officials have denied knowing his whereabouts.

“We couldn’t be happier to hear the news that Jason Rezaian has been released from Evin Prison,” Frederick Ryan Jr., publisher of The Washington Post, said in a statement. “Once we receive more details and can confirm Jason has safely left Iran, we will have more to share.”

Rezaian, Hekmati, Saeed Abedini and Khosravi-Roodsari were to be flown from Iran to Switzerland aboard a Swiss aircraft and then transported to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for medical treatment, U.S. officials told the Associated Press.

U.S. officials said Trevithnick was released separately Saturday and already was on his way home, the AP reported. The officials spoke about the release on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

Hekmati, a retired Marine from Flint, Mich., was detained

in August 2011 on espionage charges. He was sentenced to death in 2012. After a higher court ordered a retrial, he was sentenced in 2014 to 10 years.

Hekmati’s lawyer, Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei, said Hekmati called him earlier Saturday from prison, AP reported. “He told me that judiciary officials have called for a meeting with him. But I’ve not been formally informed if he is free now,” he said, adding that negotiations for the prisoners’ release had been going on for the past two months.

Abedini of Boise was detained for compromising national security, presumably because of Christian proselytizing, in September 2012. He was sentenced in 2013 to eight years in prison.

Abedini was previously arrested in 2009 and released after promising to stop organizing churches in homes. At the time of his arrest, he was running an orphanage in Iran.

Naghmeh Abedini, the pastor’s wife, said, “This has been an answer to prayer.”

The Islamic Republic News Agency identified the seven being freed from U.S. jails as Nader Modanlo, Bahram Mechanic, Khosrow Afghani, Arash Ghahreman, Tooraj Faridi, Nima Golestaneh and Ali Saboun.

The announcement coincided with Kerry’s arrival in Vienna to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to finalize the lifting of the sanctions, starting with the freeing up of some of the $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

“This is also a good day for the world,” Zarif said, upon arrival in Vienna ahead of the announcement: “Today is a day when we prove to the world that threats, sanctions, intimidation, pressure don’t work; respect works.”

Number of Syrian refugees had been small v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ment needs to upgrade its screening of refugee applicants to ensure that terrorists aligned with the Syria-based Islamic State don’t sneak into the U.S. On the other side, the Obama administration says refugees already are vetted thoroughly, and Democratic presidential candidates say the U.S. needs to remain a refuge for those fleeing for their lives. They argue that the current vetting process is sufficient and, as proof, point to the fact that no refugees have committed acts of terrorism in the U.S. That debate is sure to intensify in the coming weeks, as the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries draw closer and candidates try to solidify their positions.

Some lament that a successful refugee program based on humanitarian needs has become political fodder.

Doris Meissner, who headed the Immigration and Naturalization Service under President Clinton, said the refugee program has always been “one of the parts of the immigration system that actually worked well.” But terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., by radical Muslims have thrust the system into the political scrum, a process she said has been difficult to watch. “(The refugee system) is front and center and I think it’ll stay there because it’s now been defined as an issue of terrorism and threat,” said Meissner, now a senior fellow at the Washingtonbased Migration Policy Institute.

“It’s become a proxy for the issue of Middle East terrorism, for questions surrounding Muslims.”

For all the debate it has stirred up, the Syrian refugee program has been a small one.

From 2002 to 2013, a total of 248 Syrian refugees entered the

U.S., according to data from U.S. Department of State. As the fighting in Syria escalated, so has the American response. Nearly 2,200 Syrian refugees were accepted by the U.S. in 2015, and Obama wants to increase admissions to 10,000 this year.

Yet those numbers pale in comparison to European and Middle Eastern countries that have borne the brunt of the waves of refugees.

More than 1.7 million refugees have been living in Turkey. Germany has accepted more than 425,000 refugees from Syria. Closer to home, Canada has accepted 10,000 Syrian refugees, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to bring in as many as 25,000.

One reason the U.S. hasn’t taken a more active role in the European influx is its preoccupation with a migrant crisis in its backyard.

Starting in 2014, the number of people fleeing to the U.S. from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — mostly mothers and children — has skyrocketed. The surge created a political firestorm, as Republicans in Congress cited it as reason to halt efforts to pass an immigration bill that deals with both border security and the millions of undocumented immigrants already here.

After a lull in those arrivals for much of 2015, the rush from Central America is back, prompting new responses by the Obama administration: uIt encouraged Mexico and Central American countries to tighten their borders, a strategy that reduced the flow last year. uIt got Congress to pass a $750 million aid package to help El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras improve their security. uThis month, the Department of Homeland Security started a series of raids that

What struck Lidgett about the letter is what Phillips’ closest supporters said they have known for years: Even though he committed horrific crimes — assaulting three women, driving into a group of teenagers and allegedly murdering his cellmate — he was far more than a convicted felon. He was an enigma.

They cite their own letters, written by the former running back who starred at the University of Nebraska when the Huskers won the 1994 and 1995 national championships, and who played three seasons in the NFL before behavioral issues and legal trouble derailed his professional career.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of letters that Phillips wrote during his incarceration over the past decade. Many include details of prison life such as stashed weapons, stabbings and murder. But the letters, said the recipients who shared them with

JAYNE KAMIN-ONCEA, USA TODAY SPORTS

Ty Pagone, former vice principal at Baldwin Park high school, received many letters from his former football star Lawrence Phillips.

USA TODAY Sports, also revealed Phillips’ humanity.

Phillips expressed gratitude for care packages, passed along birthday wishes, lamented news about a former teammate having marital problems and recognized mile-

stones — such as when he learned the daughter of Ty Pagone, vice principal at Baldwin Park High School in Southern California when Phillips was star running back, was pregnant.

“That is great news!” Phillips wrote in a letter dated Oct. 30, 2014. “I’m sure you all can not wait for the baby to arrive. …

“It should be about time for (her) to get some well deserved time off, huh? Tell her to enjoy.

I’m sure she knows she will not have much time off for the next 25 years.”

Tony Zane, Phillips’ former high school coach, received scores of letters. In a one dated Sept. 2, 2014, Phillips took pleasure in learning that James Heggins, a former high school teammate, was taking over as head coach at the school where they starred.

“I’m glad to hear Heggins is back on the scene at BP,” Phillips said. “Hopefully he can get them back on track.”

Jesse Whitten, the lead attorney who was representing Phillips in the murder case in Kern County, also said he was struck by Phillips’ intelligence. Recalling his trips to the prison where Whitten

estimated they met about eight times for as many as 40 total hours, Whitten said, “I’d be driving out to the prison thinking of legal strategy and what we’re going to do. A lot of times I’d sit down and he’d beat me to the punch.”

In what likely was among Phillips’ final letters, he wrote to Lidgett, another criminal defense attorney in Bakersfield. He told Lidgett he was “dissatisfied” with Whitten and wanted to talk to Lidgett about taking over the case.

“As far as compensation, there will be absolutely delays,” wrote Phillips, who intended to pay attorney fees with money he anticipated getting from the NFL concussion settlement. “If you are interested, Mr. Lidgett, please come out to the prison.”

And so Lidgett did go to Kern Valley State Prison, and Lidgett said he and Phillips developed a rapport even though they’d met for only 90 minutes.

“There was just something about him that clicked,” Lidgett said. “We laughed. We talked about sports for a certain amount of time. He was articulate, he was charismatic.”

ON POLITICS

Fiorina, Carson strain to be heard Their ‘outsider’ campaigns have lost luster since November

Cooper Allen

@coopallen USA TODAY

Kathleen Gray Detroit Free Press

Between the Republican debate in South Carolina and President Obama’s final State of the Union Address, there was no shortage of political news as we inch closer to the Iowa caucuses.

And stay tuned for Sunday night’s Democratic debate.

More news from the world of politics:

ANDREW P. SCOTT, USA TODAY

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., right, made his debut as speaker.

OBAMA KNOWS SOME AT SOTU HAVE TRAVEL PLANS President Obama delivered what was described as a nontraditional State of the Union message Tuesday, one focused on broader themes about the future rather than a laundry list of legislative proposals for the coming year.

But at the speech’s outset, he acknowledged the political elephant in the room, so to speak, saying he was “going to try to make it shorter.”

“I know some of you are antsy to get back to Iowa,” he teased.

While four senators are currently running for president, only two were in attendance: Republican Marco Rubio and Bernie Sanders, who’s running for the Democratic nod.

Last fall, the presidential race seemed to be a haven for outsiders.

New York businessman Donald Trump, retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson and California businesswoman Carly Fiorina never held public office, but all, at various points and to varying degrees, tore up the polls as voters craved something different from the usual political suspects in the 2016 GOP presidential race.

Only Trump has maintained a hold on the top spot, while Carson and Fiorina have become the forgotten outsiders. A major campaign staff shake-up for Carson this month didn’t even merit a mention on Sunday morning television news programs, while Fiorina has been polling so low in the single digits that she’s often not even mentioned in stories about the GOP race.

According to the RealClearPol-

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina shared the stage Oct. 28 during the Republican debate in Boulder, Colo. itics rolling average of polls, Carson runs a distant fourth in Iowa and nationally and is even further back in New Hampshire. Fiorina barely cracks the top 10 in Iowa and is in the low single digits nationwide and in New Hampshire.

Perhaps most damaging, her flagging poll numbers meant she failed to qualify for Thursday’s prime-time debate stage.

“For both of them, the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino have reminded voters that political ex-

perience may mean something,” said Lara Brown, associate professor at the graduate school of political management at George Washington University. “When we were focused on domestic messages and the economy, their messages worked, but when the focus shifted to national security, you saw that Republican voters wanted a candidate with some political heft.”

Indeed, Carson’s polling numbers began their precipitous drop

in mid-November, days after the terrorist attacks in Paris, which claimed 130 lives. He hasn’t recovered, falling from 15%-20% support in the days before the attack to 6%-10% in recent days.

Fiorina never capitalized on the momentum she gained from good debate performances, falling quickly from a high of almost 12% in the RealClearPolitics polling average in early October.

“That’s a very typical pattern in history. You have your moment in the sun, and then you fade,” said Allan Lichtman, a political historian and history professor at American University. “The last outsider candidate who was nominated was Wendell Willkie in 1940.”

Trump has managed to stay atop the polls, Lichtman said, in part because he was a built-in celebrity when he entered the race.

“And he is riding this new wave of anti-establishment and discontent in the Republican Party,” he said. “He’s co-opted the rhetoric and co-opted that wing of the Republican Party.”

Carson and Fiorina are still spending ample time in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the first states to hold presidential caucuses or primaries.

Hillary Clinton campaigns in Waterloo, Iowa, last week.

HILLARY CLINTON DEFENDS DONALD TRUMP No, that’s not a typo. In one of the more memorable exchanges of Thursday’s GOP debate in North Charleston, S.C., Donald Trump fired back against Ted Cruz over his attack that Trump represented “New York values.”

Trump countered by citing the response from New Yorkers following the 9/11 attacks, saying they “fought and fought and fought” and that “everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers.”

On this point, Clinton, who represented New York in the Senate during 9/11, found common cause with her GOP rival.

She tweeted Friday that “just this once” the New York billionaire was correct.

“New Yorkers value hard work, diversity, tolerance, resilience, and building better lives for our families,” she added.

Late Friday, Cruz apologized to New Yorkers. Well, not really.

He said he was sorry they’d been let down by “liberal politicians.”

Chris Christie will settle for second-best, this once.

CHRISTIE: RUNNER-UP FINISH IN N.H. WOULD BE BOOST New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been campaigning constantly in New Hampshire, which hosts the nation’s first primary Feb. 9. Some experts suggest he needs a win there, but Christie says: “ If I came in second place in New Hampshire, I think that would be a real good result for us.” Christie spoke on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ the day before the GOP debate. Christie is jockeying with Rubio, Jeb Bush and John Kasich to emerge as the top alternative to Trump and Cruz.

Sanders a hit with Millennial women

The challenge for anti-establishment upstart is that young people have history as unreliable voters Nicole Gaudiano and Heidi Przybyla USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Young women could make history by helping elect the first female president, but many of them are turning to the oldest white guy in the field.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, 74, a Vermont independent, will head into the Democratic presidential debate Sunday with a 19-point lead over Hillary Clinton, 50% to 31%, among Democratic and independent women ages 18 to 34, according to a recent USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll.

Millennial women are among the supporters Sanders is counting on to help him pull off an upset Feb. 1 in Iowa, where his poll numbers are surging, and hold his lead in New Hampshire, which will hold a primary Feb. 9, to give him the momentum he needs to succeed in later contests where Clinton is favored.

“The challenge of this election is to disprove the skeptics who believe (young people) don’t vote,” said Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser. “Obama and his campaign took that on, they disproved it, it became the source of their victory. We’re trying to do the same thing.”

In 2008, Obama won the Iowa caucuses, and Clinton placed

third after a record attendance that nearly doubled the 2004 turnout. His greatest support came from 17- to 44-year-olds while Clinton won among those 65 and older, exit polls showed.

Despite her advantages in contests after New Hampshire, Clinton could leave Iowa “weakened or politically wounded” if the “Obama effect” works in Sanders’ favor and she fails to score a resounding victory, said Dennis Goldford, a political science professor at Drake University in Des Moines.

The problem for Sanders: Young people are among the most “unreliable voters” who tend to turn out only for general elections, Goldford said.

The poll showed that the younger voters are, the more likely they are to be Sanders supporters. Among both genders, Sanders has 57% backing in the 18-25 age group, according to the USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll.

That drops to 36% for those ages 26-34. For Clinton, the opposite is true. She gets 44% of those 26-34 and 25% of those 18-25.

Sanders has worked to energize young supporters with town meetings at colleges and recently in Iowa high schools, outreach on social media and interviews on the online message board Reddit.

The idea of not voting is unfathomable to Julie Fredrick, 23,

of Jefferson, N.H., a Sanders volunteer who canvasses, participates in phone banks, connects on social media and leaves a trail of Sanders fliers in her wake.

She voted but didn’t volunteer for Obama in 2012 because she “wasn’t nearly as inspired” as she is now.

“For the first time, I feel empowered to create change,” said Fredrick, a marketing representative for a fine furniture shop.

“This is a peaceful political revolution, and everyone’s very excited to be a part of it.”

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders mingles with students after a town hall at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., on Thursday.

district’s caucus. “The second most important thing is, he’s a feminist, and so am I.” Millennial women are less motivated than their older counterparts by the notion of electing the nation’s first female president, said Krystal Marie Ball, contributor to Glamour magazine’s 2016 election project, called “The 51 Million,” referring to the number of women under the age of 45 eligible to vote. Although many have never voted for a Clinton, Hillary Clinton has been a public figure all their lives, making them more likely to identify her with the ruling political class.

“Even though having a woman in the White House would be new and different, it’s hard to feel like Hillary Clinton is new and different,” Ball said. “They’re expressing their disgust and frustration with a political system,” and Ber-

“This is a peaceful political revolution, and everyone’s very excited to be a part of it.”

Julie Fredrick, 23, volunteer for Bernie Sanders’ campaign

Some Millennial women consider the Democratic socialist more trustworthy, and they like his anti-Wall Street message and focus on changing what he calls a corrupt political system.

Lillian Moravek, 17, of Westfield, Iowa, said his plan for free tuition at public colleges is most attractive. “It’s a very important thing to be part of a movement that could pass that on to younger generations,” said Moravek, a Sanders volunteer who will serve as a co-precinct captain for her

nie Sanders “is an expression” of that sentiment.

Taryn Hogarth, 22, a University of South Dakota student, said the prospect of a female president is a deciding factor for her mother but not her. She trusts Sanders more than Clinton to get money out of politics and overhaul the criminal justice system. Though Sanders has served in Congress since 1990, she still sees him as “a fresh face.”

“I would love to have a woman president, but I’d like the right woman president,” she said.

A bloody terrorist attack that left 28 victims dead in Burkina Faso’s capital ended Saturday after national and French security forces raided an upscale hotel in the capital, killing four extremists and freeing 126 hostages.

The dead included people of 18 different nationalities, the BBC reported. Among the freed hostages was the country’s labor minister.

Three of the terrorists, believed to belong to a local al-Qaeda affiliate, were killed in the assault on the Hotel Splendid, a popular meeting place for foreign tourists and United Nations staff in central Ouagadougou. A fourth attacker was killed nearby.

Two of the attackers were women, President Roch Marc Christian Kabore said on national radio, according to the Associated Press.

The French Ambassador, Gilles Thibault, had earlier given a death toll of 27 and denied that any women were among the dead militants, the BBC reported. He also tweeted that 150 people from 18 countries had been rescued.

The raid to end the siege was mounted after dozens of French forces arrived overnight from neighboring Mali. One U.S. military member was embedded with French forces at the scene, and the United States was working to help provide France with surveillance and reconnaissance help, according to a U.S. senior defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The attack in the capital of the landlocked West African country began late Friday when the terrorists seized the hotel and the nearby Cappuccino Cafe and set fire to several cars, according to AFP. Burkina Faso’s Internal Affairs Minister Simon Compaore said 10 bodies were found inside the cafe after the siege ended.

The terrorist group known as AQIM, or al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, claimed responsibility online as the attack was unfolding at the 147-room hotel, according to SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based organization that monitors jihadi activity online.

Donald Trump poses with Scottish pipers May 27, 2010, at the construction site of his golf course near Aberdeen, Scotland. jected his attempt to stop an offshore wind farm from being built near his golf resort in Aberdeenshire.

Nevertheless, Trump does have some supporters in Britain.

Another petition calling for him not to be barred from the U.K. has garnered more than 42,000 signatures and will also be debated in parliament on Monday.

That petition, created by David Gladwin, said blocking the business mogul from the country is “completely illogical.”

“For starters, we shouldn’t be banning people for their opinions on domestic actions in a U.S. political race that doesn’t concern us,” it says. “But more importantly, if he does actually win the nomination, and then goes on to

win the presidency, we then have to work with a man who we banned from our country in the first place — which totally offsets and upsets relations between two closely bonded countries,” the petition states. “Leave the decision on making appropriate responses to the Americans. Let’s mind our own business.”

The home secretary can ban non-European Union nationals from Britain if their presence is considered “non-conducive to the public good.”

However, there is no requirement for the results of Monday’s debate to be implemented.

Trump threatened to pull $1 billion of investments in his golf courses in Scotland “and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom” if he is banned.

“Westminster would create a dangerous precedent and send a terrible message to the world that the United Kingdom opposes free speech and has no interest in attracting inward investment,” the Trump Organization said.

Prime Minister David Cameron has said he ”completely disagrees” with Trump’s comments, describing them as “divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong” but said he did not want to ban Trump from the country.

Burkina Faso’s soldiers evacuate an injured man during a late Friday attack on the Splendid Hotel and a restaurant.

Our fighters “are now entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the religion.”

“Muslim Africa” Telegram account

In a message posted in Arabic on the extremists’ “Muslim Africa” Telegram account, the group said fighters “broke into a restaurant of one of the biggest hotels in the capital of Burkina Faso, and are now entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the religion.” Fighters who spoke by phone later “asserted the fall of many dead Crusaders,” AQIM said, according to SITE. The same group is believed responsible for a similar siege at an upscale hotel in Bamako, Mali, in November that left 20 dead.

Although Burkina Faso, a

largely Muslim country, has mostly been spared violence by Islamist extremist groups in Mali, a Romanian national was abducted last April.

The attacks follow growing tension in Burkina Faso in the wake of a coup attempt by presidential guards that collapsed in September. The newly installed government of President Kabore recently issued an arrest warrant for Guillaume Soro, the head of the National Assembly in neighboring Ivory Coast, for his alleged involvement in the failed coup attempt.

In addition, Kabore broke with

the past Wednesday by picking a Cabinet packed with ministers who had not served under the previous administration of Blaise Compaore, who was president for 27 years. Compaore went into exile in Ivory Coast after being ousted in an uprising in 2014.

In a separate development, an Austrian doctor and his wife were kidnapped Friday night by extremists in Burkina Faso’s north near its border with Mali, Abi Ouattara, security ministry spokeswoman, said Saturday, the AP reported.

President Obama proposed an expansion of unemployment benefits Saturday, saying he’ll fight to help working families “with every last day of my presidency.”

Obama wants to require all states to provide at least 26 weeks of unemployment insurance — creating a mechanism to trigger 52 weeks of benefits in states with sudden high unemployment.

In the past, Congress has voted to authorize the longer benefits during a recession, but the White House says Congress is often too slow to act.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE CHINA’S GROWTH SLACKENS uIn a nutshell: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said China’s economy grew nearly 7% last year, with employment and household income holding up despite weaker domestic and global demand, according to a post in The Wall Street Journal. uThe lowdown: Mr. Li’s comments, made Saturday at the debut of the Beijing-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, confirms the Chinese economy’s growth rate is slowing while allowing the government to say it hit a goal of about 7% for 2015. uThe upshot: The government is scheduled to release official data for all of 2015 on Tuesday. A pace of 7% or lower would be the weakest annual growth for China in 25 years.

IN THE HEALING SEAT UNITED CEO HEADS HOME Nine days after an unexpected heart-transplant operation, Oscar Munoz, United Continental Holdings CEO, said Friday his recovery is proceeding well and he was leaving the hospital to go to his Chicago home, according to a Wall Street Journal post. “I feel as strong as ever,“ Mr. Munoz told employees in a letter. ”I feel great, and it won’t be long before we are working side by side again.” Munoz, 57, had a heart attack in October, six weeks after taking the top job at the nation’s No. 3 carrier.

AFTER TWO 10% DIPS BROKE LUCKY STREAK, S&P 500 PARADIGM SHIFTS Adam Shell

S USA TODAY

ay goodbye to the days of correctionfree living on Wall Street.

After going 1,326 calendar days without a drop of 10% or more — the common definition of a stock market “correction” — the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has suffered two 10% dips since last summer. The large-company stock index was in free fall again Friday, tumbling 2.2% to 1880, extending its 2016 decline to 8% and pulling it down roughly 12% from its May 21 record close of 2130.82.

The latest bout of market turbulence — the worst start to a year on Wall Street ever — has not only gotten investors’ attention, it signals a changing dynamic in the stock market that suggests the new investment landscape will differ from what investors have become accustomed to, market pros say.

There are “signs of a paradigm shift,” Savita Subramanian, equity and quantitative strategist at

Bank of America Merrill Lynch wrote in a report titled, “A Brave New World of Investing.”

She says big changes are afoot, including markets operating with less liquidity, the end of a 30-year period of falling interest rates, a more volatile oil market no longer fully controlled by OPEC and a new breed of disruptors, such as companies like Amazon, Uber and Netflix, that are suppressing inflation. The changes, Subramanian says, have caused more uncertainty, boosted market volatility and increased the likelihood of more flash crashes.

“The investment landscape going forward will be very different from what we have seen over the course of our careers,” Subramanian told clients, arguing that inexpensive, cash-rich, high-quality companies in the S&P 500 will fare best in the new environment.

In the old paradigm, all the world’s central banks, including the Federal Reserve, were easing monetary policy at the same time, driving down volatility, explains David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. But that has given way to a new world of policy “divergence” — with the Fed tightening

policy while other central banks are injecting stimulus into their economies — and heightened volatility.

Says Kotok: “Volatility rises everywhere.”

In the new investing landscape, good news like more jobs and higher wages may lead to negative market impacts, such as the need for the Fed to hike interest rates, adds Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management. Paulsen says the lousy start to 2016 is also partly due to the fact that the August correction didn’t correct any of the problems that caused it.

“It was so brief and stocks recovered so fast that bullish investor sentiment, which had become complacent, was reinforced and investors kept buying the dips,” says Paulsen. “The valuations got too high last summer, but after the August correction and quick recovery the market was still expensive.”

It all adds up to a decided mood shift on Wall Street, says Axel Merk of the Merk Funds: “I believe there is a change in investor psychology: investors are now more interested in capital preservation than buying dips.”

It’s official: Wells Fargo bank displaces Citi Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK The stagecoach has outpaced the umbrella.

San Francisco’s Wells Fargo (WFC) is now the nation’s thirdlargest bank by assets, beating New York’s Citigroup (C), the former No. 1.

Wells Fargo, known for its horse-drawn stagecoach logo, has inched up on Citigroup, with its umbrella logo, for months. It officially nabbed the title Friday when it posted assets of $1.79 trillion as of the end of 2015, beating Citigroup’s $1.73 trillion.

The switcheroo reflects the divergent strategies the banks have

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Wells Fargo has steadily bought assets to grow profits.

adopted since the financial crisis shook up the industry in 2008.

Citigroup has been aggressively cutting costs and selling assets to quell fears that it is too big to fail. Wells Fargo, by contrast, has

been steadily building its loans and buying assets to grow profits.

Indeed, Citigroup reported record annual profit Friday due primarily to its aggressive cost cutting, rather than growth in sales. But the bank’s stock dropped 7% on concerns that its fourth-quarter growth was overly reliant on one-time items, such as assets sales.

Citigroup’s stock traded down Friday 6% to $42.47 a share.

Wells Fargo stock dropped 3.6% to $48.82 amid concerns about its exposure to falling oil prices, among other woes facing banks this year.

With oil hitting 12-year lows, banks have been forced to up their cushions against bad energy

loans, which adds to costs.

Wells Fargo did not suffer rising loan costs in the fourth quarter, unlike JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which reported Thursday. But that is because improvements in its residential real estate portfolio helped to offset “continued deterioration within the energy sector,” the bank said.

Wells Fargo predicted its current cushion of $1.2 billion against a portfolio of $17 billion in mostly non-investment grade oil and gas credits will not need to increase even if oil stays at $30 a barrel for the rest of the year.

Citigroup predicted added costs of $600 million in the first half of 2016 if oil stays at $30 a barrel for at least a year.

2015 a big year for venture capital Jon Swartz USA TODAY

Silicon Valley investors may be bracing for a plunge in venture spending this year, but last year was cause for celebration.

Some $58.5 billion was invested by VCs (venture capitalists) in 2015, the second-highest total since 1995, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers and National Venture Capital Association report issued Friday.

Venture capitalists invested $11.3 billion into 962 deals during the last three months of 2015.

The fourth quarter is the eighth straight of more than $10 billion of VC investments in a single quarter.

Last year was the biggest since 2000, when nearly $105 billion was poured into deals. The MoneyTree™ Report was issued by PwC and the National Venture Capital Association, based on data culled from Thomson Reuters.

SAN FRANCISCO

Among companies drawing investor interest: tech start-ups in financial services, education, retail and consumer industries.

“In the fourth quarter, crosssector technology companies with innovative, disruptive technologies and business models continued to catch the eyes of investors,” says Tom Ciccolella, PwC’s U.S. venture capital market leader. Among those drawing investor interest: tech start-ups in financial services, education, retail and consumer industries.

But there are signs the funding party may be waning: The fourth-quarter numbers represent a 32% decline in dollars and 16% in deals from the third quarter, and the smallest amount of funding since the third quarter of 2014.

Ciccolella says the drop-off is a reflection, in part, of fewer socalled “mega-deals,” those VC deals worth at least $100 million.

A new report from KPMG International and CB Insights reveals the frequency of mega-deals dropped to 38 in the fourth quarter, from 72 in the third quarter. Those companies attaining unicorn status, meanwhile, shrank to nine in the fourth quarter vs. 23 in the third quarter.

PERSONAL FINANCE HOW TO MAKE YOUR PROFESSIONAL BILLBOARD

TIP: A reference from someone who worked for you can be even better than one from a former manager.

SHINE

A LITTLE TIME ON LINKEDIN CAN HELP GET YOU NOTICED

L

Fergus Mellon l Special for USA TODAY

inkedIn is a valuable professional tool, not just as a portable Rolodex.

It’s a way to see who in your network could help you with business projects or to connect you with a long-lost colleague now at a company you want to do a deal with.

It can also serve as your “professional billboard.” A well-constructed profile can show you in a great light to your industry.

You’d be amazed when you look at the “who viewed your profile” tab (yes, LinkedIn shows you this) just who is interested in you.

Mellon is author of Early Stage Professional: Starting off right, a book for professionals in their early career years. Contact: fergus@whattheferg.com

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Here is the minimum of what to do on LinkedIn: SPEND TIME ON YOUR PROFILE

Make it look good, and ensure it contains accurate and interesting information. Have a professionallooking picture of yourself (i.e., not holding a drink), a strong but concise summary of your experience and key skills and a description of your current position, as well as previous ones. It really is pretty simple: View it as an online version of your résumé.

Remove the dates you spent in college as this can “age” you. Far better that you let your experience and qualifications work for you than being ruled out for roles for which you may be considered either too young or too old.

LINK UP

Once your professional billboard is complete, focus on getting an audience for it. Connect to everyone you can in your professional network. You don’t need to be desperate about this, but if you have a good interview with someone but don’t get the job, get LinkedIn with him or her. Use your professors and friends from college if you are just starting out and then build your network from there, through current and

past colleagues, as well as anyone who you take a meeting with and have a professional relationship with.

Take advantage also of the service LinkedIn has of reading your contacts on your personal email account and then inviting these people to connect.

TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS

If a friend leaves your company, offer to do a “recommendation trade.” Write one for them and ask for one yourself. View it as a professional favor.

On a side note, I always have huge flags when people either don’t have recommendations OR have never written a recommendation for someone else, despite having many of their own. The latter person looks like a selfish taker, the former like someone with no professional buddies, so get some and give some!

Getting a reference from a peer or someone who worked for you can be even more useful than one from a former manager: It shows that as well as managing up, you can also manage across and below the organizational totem pole. I have recommendations from the IT guy (and wrote one for him, too) and am as proud of that reference as I am one from a former manager or business partner.

SHARE YOUR NEWS

Your company is likely going to have articles published about it as well as make announcements through its PR team. Share these through LinkedIn. By “Sharing” or “Liking” an article through LinkedIn, you will be amplifying your company’s efforts.

The other “amplification” I try to do is to post job vacancies in my company to my LinkedIn. This does not just help your company, but as you will have fresh “content” that you are delivering to your network, there is more chance that people will then view your profile.

By having more people view your professional billboard you will increase your chances of landing a great new job.

LOCK DOWN YOUR UPDATES

If you are looking for a new job and coming into contact with hiring managers, recruiters and HR professionals, you may want to turn off the “Update My Network” feature. Basically, this is a toggle that lets you stop LinkedIn from broadcasting your updates (new contacts, updates to your profile) to your network. Although it is unlikely that your HR team or manager will notice activity around getting a new job, I would still not risk it.

A managed 401(k)’s tailoring can pay off Some savers could benefit from a little special treatment Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

Target-date mutual funds take the pain out of investing. Plan participants simply invest in a fund of funds based on their expected retirement date — their time horizon — and, for all intents and purposes, forget it.

But there’s another type of 401(k) investment option that plan participants, especially those whose financial situations are more complex, might want to consider: the managed account.

A managed account is a service in which participants share personal information with a provider — far beyond their target retirement date and risk tolerance — and receive, for a fee, an individualized portfolio using the funds in the 401(k) lineup that are managed on an ongoing basis, according to David O’Meara, a senior investment consultant with Towers Watson Investment Services.

How do they work? When a participant signs up, information is gathered about age, balance, income and sometimes whether the person has pension benefits coming or will be entitled to retiree health care benefits, says Ben Taylor, a vice president at Callan Associates. In addition, they might disclose their assets outside the plan, risk tolerance and goals.

All those inputs, Taylor says, al-

low the managed account service provider to assign an appropriate target portfolio using the investment choices from among the options provided within the defined contribution plan.

Managed accounts, of course, aren’t free. “Participants pay an asset-based fee for this service, and as long as the service remains in place, the managed account provider will monitor the portfolio, including rebalancing and reallocating among the investment funds as necessary,” says Lori Lucas, an executive vice president with Callan Associates.

ADVANTAGES

The advantages, at least on paper, are many, proponents say. One is a personalized, customized portfolio that’s actively managed.

“There are three main levers that affect retirement readiness — savings rate, investment selection and retirement age,” according to David Blanchett, head of retirement research for Morningstar

“Managed accounts offer the greatest potential advantages for those with more complex financial situations.”

David O’Meara, Towers Watson Investment Services

Investment Management. “Managed accounts provide personalized advice on all three.”

In fact, Blanchett notes the recommendations a participant gets from a managed account will “consider factors like outside accounts, savings rate, state of residence, other sources of income and the like, while a target-date fund only offers generalized investment selection based on age.”

When participants enter or near retirement, some managed accounts, such as those offered by

Morningstar, “provide participants with a holistic, sustainable drawdown strategy that tells them exactly how much money they can draw from each account each year in the most tax-efficient way,” according to Blanchett.

In some cases the managed account provider can also provide advice about when to claim Social Security.

Other advantages: Many managed accounts come with phone numbers and/ or online counseling options for additional guidance, says Scott Matheson, a senior director with CAPTRUST. DISADVANTAGES

Some managed account providers don’t spell out details on fees, performance and benchmarking, according to a 2014 Government Accountability Office report. The advantages of managed accounts “can be offset by paying additional fees over time,” the GAO wrote.

“Providers charge additional fees for managed accounts that range from $8 to $100 on every $10,000 in a participant’s account.

As a result, some participants pay a low fee each year, while others pay a comparatively large fee on their account balance.”

According to Matheson, costs are heavily influenced by the size of the plan and the size of the participant’s 401(k) balance. And generally the fees “are in addition to — or on top of — the fees of the underlying funds.”

Benchmarking performance is

another problem. “Monitoring managed accounts as traditional investment options are monitored is challenging since these are individualized portfolios/solutions,” Matheson says.

Also, managed accounts are not a homogenous group. “Unfortunately, today the term managed account is used to refer to many different types of products, services and solutions,” Matheson says. And results are dependent on the participant’s involvement.

Participants need to put good data into the managed account questionnaire. Otherwise, it’s garbage in, garbage out.

What to consider? Start by weighing costs and the benefits.

“Managed accounts offer the greatest potential advantages for those with more complex financial situations,” O’Meara says.

“For those participants, a managed account service may be a cheaper option than getting similar assistance from an outside adviser.”

On the other hand, O’Meara says, younger participants and others with less complex financial situations need to determine if they wouldn’t be better served by using a low-cost target date fund.

Others agree.

“If choosing between a managed account and target-date fund, participants should ask themselves, ‘Am I average?’ ” Blanchett says. “Participants who have outside assets or complex financial situations may benefit more from a managed account.”

Little ‘Dipper’?

KANSAS 70, TCU 63

Diallo Wilt-like in win

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Cheick Diallo — who hopes to have a long NBA career like the great Wilt Chamberlain — didn’t choose his college jersey number as some sort of tribute to Kansas University’s most accomplished No. 13.

“Well, my birthday is Sept. 13. That’s why I chose No. 13. A lot of people think I chose 13 because of him. No, I’ve worn 13 since I started playing basketball. It’s not anything about him,” Diallo, KU’s 6-foot-9, 220-pound freshman forward from Mali, said after scoring nine points, grabbing nine rebounds and blocking five shots in the Jayhawks’ 70-63 victory over TCU on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“I came here and people said, ‘You are wearing his number.’ I said, ‘Who is him anyway?’ I do my research, so I know who is him now,” Diallo added good-naturedly.

KU fans can’t help but think about the Big Dipper — at least a little bit — when they see Diallo swat shots as he did in 21 minutes of action Saturday.

“That’s what I do best.

Blocking shots is kind of easy for me. My wingspan is 7-(foot)-41⁄2. It’s really easy,” said Diallo, who exhibited good timing on his rejections.

“I count in my mind a little bit. One second, two.

Bragg had a couple of moments where he spaced out instead of blocked out, but generally looked more comfortable, less in a hurry than usual. That comfort resulted in better play.

When Perry Ellis went to the bench with two fouls in the first half, Bragg filled in impressively, producing all but two of his career-high 10 points and all of his four

rebounds before intermission.

Bragg hit mid-range jumpers and didn’t panic his way to missing bank shots close to the hoop.

Chiefs’ run comes to abrupt end

CHIEFS TIGHT END TRAVIS KELCE (87) LEAPS over Patriots safety Patrick Chung after catching a pass in the Chiefs’ 27-20 loss on Saturday in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Foxborough, Mass. (ap) — The Patriots’ late-season slump didn’t mean much when the playoffs came to New England. Kansas City’s 11-game winning streak mattered even less.

With Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman coming back from injuries to help Tom Brady return to his Super Bowl MVP form, the Patriots earned a spot in the AFC title game for the fifth year in a row, beating the Chiefs 27-20 on Saturday.

“It’s pretty special to get back to another AFC

championship game,” said Brady, who will play for the conference title for the 10th time in his career.

“It’s pretty cool. It’s hard to do, man. You’ve got to grind throughout the entire year. There’s only four teams playing next week and we’re one of them. That game means a lot.”

The Patriots (13-4) are trying to become the first team to win back-to-back NFL titles since they did it in 2003-04. But first they will meet the winner of Sunday’s game between the

Steelers and Broncos for a spot in Super Bowl 50.

The defending champions would play in Denver on Jan. 24 if the Broncos win, or at home if it’s the Steelers.

“You can’t take it for granted because everybody knows how hard it is to get there,” said Edelman, who was sidelined because of a broken foot when the Patriots lost four of their last six regular-season games. “We didn’t do too well down the stretch and we were playing against a team that won 11 games in a row.

“We didn’t worry about what’s happened in the past or what’s going to happen in the future.”

Brady threw for two touchdowns to Gronkowski and sneaked in for another just one play after diving for the pylon after a 10-yard scramble that was his longest postseason run in nine years. Brady took a helmet in the back as his body — but not the ball — cleared the goal line.

Royals sign Kennedy to $70 million deal Kansas City, Mo. — The Royals and pitcher Ian Kennedy agreed to a $70 million, five-year deal Saturday that includes an opt-out after the first two years, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract will not be completed until the 31-year-old right-hander passes a physical. That could happen this week.

Kennedy went 9-15 with a 4.28 ERA for the San Diego Padres last season. He is four years removed from a 21-win season with the Arizona Diamondbacks and has also pitched for the New York Yankees during his nineyear career.

The Royals sought another starter to replace Johnny Cueto, who signed a $130 million, sixyear deal with the Giants after helping Kansas City win its first World Series since 1985.

Kennedy turned down the Padres’ qualifying offer — a guaranteed $15.8 million salary for next season. That means San Diego will receive a draft pick from Kansas City as compensation.

The Royals hope Kennedy can return to form under pitching coach Dave Eiland, who has worked wonders with Edinson Volquez, Yordano Ventura and others over the years. Kennedy and Eiland are familiar with each other after their years in the Yankees system.

NFL

Tennessee removes coach’s interim tag Nashville, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are keeping Mike Mularkey as their coach.

The man who handled the final nine games after the team fired Ken Whisenhunt this season was chosen Saturday, just hours after the Titans wrapped up their fourth and final interview for the job.

Tennessee interviewed Mularkey; another former Buffalo coach in Doug Marrone; Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin; and finished the process by midday Saturday by talking with the Titans’ defensive coordinator, Ray Horton.

The last NFL team with a head coach position to fill chose not to wait around for more candidates, instead joining the other six teams who all decided to hire offensive coaches for their openings.

Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said Mularkey won the job with his vision for the Titans and how he handled the final two months of the season as an interim coach. Mularkey was 2-7 in nine games after Whisenhunt went 3-20 in his tenure before being fired Nov. 3.

Honolulu — Even after missing a two-foot birdie putt on his last hole, it wasn’t hard for Zac Blair to see nothing but opportunity Saturday at the Sony Open.

Blair three-putted for par on the closing par 5 at Waialae and had to settle for a 6-under 64, giving him a share of the lead with Brandt Snedeker as the 25-year-old from Utah goes after his first PGA Tour victory.

Snedeker missed birdie putts of 10 feet and 12 feet on the last two holes for a 66.

They were at 16-under 194, and they still had plenty of company.

Kevin Kisner recovered from a 5-iron that wound up on the other side of the corporate tents behind the par-3 17th for his only bogey of the round. He got upand-down from behind the green on the 18th for a birdie and a 66, leaving him one shot behind.

Kisner will be in the final group for the third time in his last four PGA Tour starts.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot his second 4-under 67 of the tournament. That put him at 11-under, good for a tie for sixth place.

FSHS trips Lee’s Summit North in 3OTs

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — In the past two days, the biggest lesson opponents learned about Free State High’s boys basketball players is they refuse to lose.

When they need to hit big shots in crunch time, they hit shots. When the Firebirds need a defensive stop, they make a stop.

Less than 24 hours after the Firebirds fought back from an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit for one of the biggest comebacks in school history, Free State made big play after big play in an 83-81 victory over Lee’s Summit (Missouri) North in triple overtime at Johnson County Community College in the Best of Midwest Showcase on Saturday.

Down by three points with under 40 seconds left in the third overtime, FSHS senior Darian Lewis grabbed an offensive rebound, took a few steps backward and knocked down a three-pointer to tie the game at 81.

Following a timeout, junior guard Jacob Pavlyak stole an inbounds pass. The Firebirds put the ball in the hands of senior Hunter Gudde, the hero of Friday’s game, and he drove down the lane and flipped a pass behind his head to senior Drew Tochtrop, who was sitting on the left block for a game-winning layup with under two seconds left — his only basket of the game.

“I was playing pretty bad at the beginning, and coach benched me for most of the second half

FREE STATE’S KRISTIAN RAWLS, CENTER, PASSES OUT OF A TRIPLE TEAM by Lee’s Summit North defenders Cameron Hairston (23), Logan Jenkins (4) and Jacob Riley during the Best of the Midwest Showcase game Saturday at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park. The Firebirds won, 83-81, in triple overtime. and the first two overtimes,” Tochtrop said.

“When he put me back in, I knew I had to do something.”

Throughout the three overtimes and final minutes of regulation, both schools made plays to win the game — and at some points, refused to win. In the second overtime, the Firebirds led by six points with under 30 seconds left before turning the ball over and watching LSN junior Cameron Hairston hit two free throws, freshman Javaunte Hawkins hit a three and Hairston sink a game-tying layup at the buzzer.

Hairston, an athletic guard with an extra bounce in his step, finished with an LSN-record 38 points. He had a chance to win the game

at the end of the first overtime, slashing past defenders down the lane, but his layup attempt at the horn sat on the rim before falling off and giving the Firebirds new life.

“It was terrible help defense by me, but we were fortunate that he missed that layup,” said Gudde, who had a teamhigh 23 points. “Things happen like that. At the end of the game (Friday), they missed free throws.

Things have been going our way lately.”

The Firebirds (7-1) have a team motto: strength in numbers. They lived up to it on Saturday, using 12 players throughout the 44 minutes. For the majority of the first half, they played without their top two scorers, Gudde and senior Chrision Wilburn,

because of foul trouble and still had a three-point lead.

Junior Sloan Thomsen drilled three triples in the first quarter and had 14 points. Junior Shannon Cordes added 11 points, including a game-tying three with a minute left in the first overtime. Junior Cameron Clark had six points and four rebounds, and sophomore Jalan Robinson, in his second varsity game, added a bucket.

Unlike Friday’s improbable comeback, Free State had a six-point lead in the fourth quarter before the Broncos (4-7) went on a 12-4 run over five minutes for a 53-51 advantage.

After LSN missed the front end of a one-andone free throw, FSHS

Morgantown, W.Va. — Kansas University’s women’s basketball team committed 25 turnovers and had 10 shots blocked

by West Virginia.

The result was a predictably lopsided loss — 72-35 on Saturday at WVU Coliseum.

WVU (15-4 overall, 4-2 Big 12) turned those turnovers into 21 points in handing KU (5-12, 0-6) its eighth straight loss. It was the 600th career victory for Mountaineers coach Mike Carey.

“First off, I congratulate coach Carey on his 600th win,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said.

“That’s obviously a significant achievement for any coach, and he’s done a great job for a long time. I give him a tremendous amount of respect for how he operates his program and how hard he gets his girls to play.

Again, completely disruptive for us, probably not the opponent that we need to be playing with the youthful team that we have and our ineptness on the offensive end.

“They were a big reason for that. They really make it difficult for you to turn the ball from one side of the floor to the other, and when you do turn it over and take a bad shot, they are terrific in transition.”

Sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge led KU with 10 points. Freshman guard Kylee Kopatich had nine points and seven rebounds.

West Virginia’s junior center Lanay Montgomery dominated with a 14-point, 17-rebound double-double performance, her fourth of the season.

TCU coach had big expectations

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

He might have been in the minority, but TCU men’s basketball coach Trent Johnson hardly was surprised to see Kansas University freshmen Carlton Bragg Jr. and Cheick Diallo deliver impressive outings during KU’s 70-63 victory over Johnson’s Horned Frogs on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I saw that maybe two summers ago,” said Johnson, referencing watching the two McDonald’s All-Americans on the recruiting trail. “It isn’t hard to figure that out.

They look the part, and they play the part.”

On Saturday, the midpoint of an up-and-down season for both first-year players, Bragg and Diallo certainly showed both, coming off the bench to spark Kansas (15-2 overall, 4-1 Big 12) on both ends of the floor while playing the most minutes either has played in weeks and, certainly, their most minutes together.

Bragg got out to the faster start, pouring in eight of his 10 points in the first half and earning the second-half start in place of Hunter Mickelson. Diallo, who played double-digit minutes (21) for the first time since Dec. 19 and fourth time all year, finished with nine points, nine rebounds and five blocks to help lead the Jayhawks to victory.

TCU guard Michael Williams said Diallo and Bragg made their biggest difference on the defensive end, where they kept TCU from getting comfortable close to the rim and helped clean up the defensive glass on an afternoon when Mickelson, Landen Lucas and Jamari

Traylor combined to grab just three defensive boards in 18 combined minutes.

“They’re long. Really long,” said Williams, who led the Frogs with 13 points in 36 minutes.

“They may have times where they are not doing what they’re supposed to be doing offensively, but their length is really a problem on defense.

They can cause problems on the defensive end.”

Despite the depth of KU’s frontcourt and the learning curve that comes with playing big-time college basketball, many have questioned how little Bragg and Diallo have been used during recent weeks. But Johnson is not one of them, and the TCU coach was not afraid to divulge his future hopes for the two talented freshmen, as well as KU senior Perry Ellis, who finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and three blocks and four fouls in 25 minutes.

“They’re playing for the right guy,” Johnson said. “They’re great players when it’s all said and done. I hope they leave after this year. Perry should have been gone two years ago. He’s a polished pro.”

The Frogs, meanwhile, came away pleased with the way they responded to getting embarrassed by Baylor earlier this week.

“Obviously, Kansas is one of the best teams in the conference,” Williams said. “And I was really happy with how we competed this game.”

Added Johnson: “They’re making big plays against a good team. ... I’m not into moral victories, but there was a period or two there where they had Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos a chance to run and get some separation, and our KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF AND THE JAYHAWKS HUDDLE UP in the first half of their 70-63 victory over TCU on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Two seconds, I jump,” Diallo said. “If you are a shot-blocker you have to take a little time. If you jump first, you will not get a block.”

Diallo hit four of seven shots and one of two free throws. He cashed an eight-foot jump shot the first half, then deposited an alley oop from Frank Mason III, hit a 10-foot turnaround jumper and scored off an inside spin move all in the second half.

He was asked about his jumper tending to not have much arc.

“It’s because I jump high,” Diallo said. “I jump high, and it’s not gonna come down, just go straight. I think I’ve improved a lot. Before I could not hit a jump shot.

I’ve been working on my game every day.”

Diallo, who had played just 18 minutes combined in KU’s first four Big 12 games, totaling four points, one block and five rebounds, figured he’d play more Saturday since Perry Ellis and Hunter Mickelson picked up two first-half fouls and Jamari Traylor took a shot to the face (actually administered by Diallo) on the defensive end, limiting his time the second half.

“The first half I played, like, five minutes (six minutes, two blocks, two points). I was getting a little confident. I said, ‘OK, I think I can do it,’” Diallo said. “The second half, I just bring all energy. I said, ‘Now that’s the time I can show everybody I can play.’

“Sometimes if you get tired, of course you need to come out,” noted Dial-

I do. I feel like I can do it. It’s not my decision. I’m not going to go to coach, ‘Oh, why are you not giving me time?’ I can’t do it. It’s coach’s decision,” Diallo added.

He has never complained. In fact, during the first four Big 12 games, he was totally into the games despite mostly being a spectator.

“Even when I am on the bench, I’m still pushing my team: ‘Let’s go.

Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.

Let’s go,’” Diallo said. “I give energy even if I am not playing.”

Self said he went into the TCU game figuring Diallo and fellow freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. (10 points, four boards, 16 minutes) would get more playing time that usual.

“Obviously, TCU plays a lot of bigs,” Self said of the Horned Frogs, who fell to 9-8 overall and 1-4 in league games; KU is 15-

2, 4-1. “Those (two) guys did some good things.

They have certainly earned some more minutes. They are getting better, no question about it.

Cheick’s attitude has been so good. You can’t help but get better when you care as much as he does.

“He’s a fabulous kid.

Everybody wants to play, and he wants to play. You can see how raw he is, but you can also see how he can do some things to change a game that nobody else in our program can. We’ve got to get him more minutes. He’s earned them, but it also would definitely help our team down the stretch if he is a little more seasoned player. There’s no way he can get there unless we give him a chance to work through some things. I’m really pleased with his attitude.”

Diallo and Bragg are quite a combo at practice.

“Sometimes we play on the same team. Sometimes

we play against each other,” Diallo said. “We talk to each other every time.

We play like a competitor.

It’s not a fight. We talk every night. He’s my roommate. We talk a lot.”

Diallo said he loves the times he’s on the court the same time as senior forward Perry Ellis, who Saturday had 10 points and nine boards in 25 minutes. Bragg, Mason and Devonté Graham also had 10 apiece on a day Wayne Selden Jr. led the way with 11 points.

“Perry is a senior. I am a freshman. If I play next to him, I can get a lot of experience. It’s helped me a lot playing next to Perry,” Diallo said.

The outgoing Diallo said he continues to text Self daily, as was his habit before he was declared eligible by the NCAA. “I still do. It’s because I want to get better. Every single day I want to get better,” Diallo said. “I ask him after every practice

what I need to do now.

He says, ‘More rebounds, block shots, running the floor.’ I say, ‘OK I got you,’” Diallo added.

As far as Saturday, “I got nine rebounds, five blocks, that’s pretty good. I can do more. I can get more rebounds and blocked shots,” Diallo said.

Perhaps he can land a triple-double at some point, considering he was reasonably close in points, rebounds and blocks Saturday.

“That’s insane,” he said of 10 blocks in one game.

“I think I can do it, because I’m not going to say I can’t.”

Kansas University’s basketball team, which scored over 100 points in its first two Big 12 Conference games (102-74 vs.

Baylor and 109-106, 3OTs vs. Oklahoma), has fizzled a bit in the last three contests.

The Jayhawks (15-2, 4-1), who topped TCU, 70-63, on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, lost to West Virginia, 74-63, on Tuesday in Morgantown, West Virginia, after upending Texas Tech, 6959, on Jan. 9 in Lubbock, Texas.

“It was a dud game,” KU coach Bill Self said of Saturday’s victory, in which the Jayhawks went 5-of-20 from three and hit 43.3 percent from the field overall. TCU hit 36.9 percent of its floor shots.

“We didn’t do a lot of great things to create a lot of energy, not from a lack of trying. We’re going through a phase right now we’re kind of duds.”

He addressed the issue further.

“He said I have to play more aggressive, be smart, that can cost us late in a game,” Bragg said of the final play of the half. He then explained what he thought earned him the secondhalf start. “I was playing my role, helping the team out with my defense and just rebounding.”

Other than Ellis, Bragg is the best scorer of KU’s big men. Despite playing single-digit minutes in five games, Bragg has been held scoreless just once, in a nine-minute effort vs. UC Irvine. He’s a better offensive rebounder than defensive and is improving defensively.

Effort never is an issue.

Bragg always wears a smile, but it sometimes masks what’s in his head.

“At times I can get

He said that while he was lifting weights Saturday, strength-andconditioning coach Andrea Hudy offered some simple, general advice.

“She just said, ‘Play with an open mind, focus on the right thing, and everything will fall into place.’ She came to me and said, ‘Calm down, focus in and play with a free mind.’ I took that,

Asked why he thought Hudy gave him that advice, Bragg said, “I think she sees something in me I don’t.”

“A great guy, confident, I can be a great player,” Bragg answered.

that can shock their systems to the point their confidence takes a hit.

Strong game performances can restore what has been lost temporarily.

Oklahoma stops West Virginia, 70-68 ——————‑

Iowa State downs Kansas State in Manhattan, 76-63 The Associated Press

Big 12 Men No. 2 Oklahoma 70, No. 11 West Virginia 68 Norman, Okla.

— Khadeem Lattin’s tip-in with one second remaining gave Oklahoma a victory over West Virginia on Saturday.

Buddy Hield scored 17 points, Jordan Woodard had 13, and Ryan Spangler added 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Sooners (15-1, 4-1 Big 12).

Oklahoma is in position to move to No. 1 in the AP poll since top-ranked Kansas lost to West Virginia on Tuesday. It would be the Sooners’ first No. 1 ranking since the March 13, 1990, poll.

The Sooners won despite shooting a season-low 33.3 percent.

Jaysean Paige scored 18 points for West Virginia (15-2, 4-1), which was coming off the big win over Kansas. The Mountaineers were trying to become the first team to beat No. 1 and No. 2 in consecutive games since Kansas beat North Carolina and Memphis in the 2008 Final Four.

West Virginia entered the day alone in first place in the Big 12.

Woodard grabbed an offensive rebound to set up Hield for a threepointer that gave the Sooners a 34-32 lead late in the first half. Hield blocked Jevon Carter’s shot at the buzzer, and the teams were tied at 34 at the break.

No. 17 Iowa St. 76, Kansas St. 63 Manhattan — Monte Morris scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, Gorges Niang continued his form at Bramlage Coliseum with 15 points, and Iowa State kept Kansas State at arm’s length.

The win snapped a twogame skid for the Cyclones (13-4, 2-3 Big 12) after close losses to Texas and No. 22 Baylor and prevented Iowa State’s first 1-4 league start since 2010-11.

Niang entered Saturday’s game averaging 14.7 points in seven games at Bramlage.

Abdel Nader added 14 points, and Matt Thomas had 11 for Iowa State, which shot 50.9 percent from the field — meeting its season average of 50.2.

Three players finished with at least six rebounds.

First-year Iowa State coach Steve Prohm used a timeout with 9:35 play to spark a 7-0 run after Kansas State cut a double-digit lead to 50-45 on a basket

by Justin Edwards.

Zach Smith hit a jumper for the Red Raiders to tie it at 60.

Al Freeman scored 14 points, and Terry Maston added 12 for Baylor (14-3, 4-1 Big 12).

GREEN BAY QUARTERBACK AARON RODGERS (12) throws under pressure from Arizona’s Tony Jefferson on Saturday night in Glendale, Arizona. The Cards won, 26-20, in OT.

NFL PLAYOFFS

Cardinals stun Packers in OT Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — Larry Fitzgerald’s brief but brilliant overtime heroics trumped another Hail Mary by Aaron Rodgers, and the Arizona Cardinals escaped with a 2620 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night to advance to the NFC championship.

Fitzgerald turned a short pass into a 75-yard gain on the first play of overtime to set up his five-yard shovel pass reception for the winning score as the crowd chanted “Larry! Larry!”

“As simple a word as ‘special’ is, it describes him probably the best,” Palmer said.

Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 176 yards.

“As an elder statesman on this team I just try to elevate my game and make plays for my teammates,” he said.

The Cardinals (14-3) play the winner of today’s Seattle-Carolina game for the title.

It can’t be any more crazy than this one, which unfolded on the same field where the Cardinals beat the Packers in overtime 5145 in a wild-card game in the 2009 season and where Arizona routed Green Bay 38-8 three weeks ago.

Rodgers, in a play reminiscent of his final-play heave against Detroit this season, took the snap with five seconds to go in regulation, scrambled around and heaved it 41 yards to the end zone.

Jeff Janis, a 6-foot-3 receiver pressed into extended duty because Green Bay’s top two receivers were hurt, outjumped defenders Patrick Peterson and Rashad Johnson and clutched the ball to his chest as he fell to the turf in the silence of University of Phoenix Stadium, except for the scattered Packers fans, who went nuts.

“I didn’t know where anybody was really,” Rodgers said. “I saw Jeff briefly and I just tried to put some air on it to give him a chance.”

Arizona won the overtime coin toss — after the referee declared the first toss hadn’t flipped. On the first play, no one was covering Fitzgerald, who caught and ran through defenders to the five-yard line.

“It comes down to a coin flip sometimes after a long hard-fought game,” Rodgers said, “back and forth, bizarre plays made by both teams and unfortunately it comes down to that..”

A strange play had given Arizona a 20-13 lead with 3:44 to play.

Damarious Randall, who moments earlier had made a key intercep-

tion in the end zone, deflected a pass intended for Fitzgerald inside the five-yard line and the ball sailed into the end zone into the hands of Michael Floyd for a nine-yard touchdown. Floyd also had an eight-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

The Packers (11-7) took the kickoff but went nowhere and turned the ball over on downs, setting up Chandler Catanzaro’s 38-yard field goal that put Arizona up 20-13 with 1:55 to play.

With 55 seconds to go, Green Bay was pushed back into a fourth-and-20 situation at its 4-yard line when Rodgers scrambled and threw 60 yards to Janis at the 36. A penalty pushed it back to the 41 and Rodgers threw incomplete before getting off his last completion.

Janis, who caught seven passes for 145 yards after having just two receptions all year, was hurt on his big catch and was helped out of the end zone.

Rodgers completed 24 of 44 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Palmer, in his first playoff victory (in three tries) was 25 of 41 yards for 349 yards and three scores with two interceptions.

Green Bay dominated statistically for much of the game, taking a 13-7 lead on Rodgers’ 8-yard touchdown pass to Janis with 10:17 left in the third quarter.

gets running, the crowd goes crazy,” Edelman said.

After spending the last two weeks recovering from knee and back injuries, Gronkowski caught seven passes for 83 yards, including touchdowns from 8 and 16 yards out.

Gronkowski also recovered an onside kick after Kansas City cut the deficit to 27-20 with just over one minute left.

Danny Amendola had two catches for 18 yards as he worked his way back from a knee injury.

“It’s just great to have those guys back,” Gronkowski said.

“They’re hard workers, they’re great players. The chemistry was clicking tonight.”

Alex Smith completed 29 of 50 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown for Kansas City (126). The Chiefs had won 11 consecutive games, including a 30-0 victory over Houston in the wildcard round last week for their first playoff victory since 1993.

In the meantime, the Patriots have won 24 postseason games.

“It gives us a great example of where we need to be,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “So, this is a good experience for us.

That’s the way we’ll take it. We’ll learn from our mistakes.

“I’m proud of my guys, man. They battled like crazy this year, but came up a little short. We’ll be a better team for it next year.”

Brady led New England to a score on the opening drive, throwing 11 straight passes and completing eight — the last an 8-yard score to Gronkowski. The Chiefs then made it to the Patriots 16, but settled for a field goal.

BEST BETS WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

After trading punts twice, the Patriots started on their 2 when Amendola was flagged for a helmet-first hit to coverage man Jamell Fleming.

The drive was in danger of stalling at the Kansas City 35 when Chiefs linebacker Dezman Moses hit Brady late and was called for roughing the passer.

The stadium erupted in cheers of “Brady!” — just as it had four months ago when the four-time Super Bowl champion returned from his looming “Deflategate” suspension to play in the season opener.

Four plays later, unable to find an open receiver, Brady took off for the corner of the end zone. The Chiefs managed to keep him out, but on the next snap, Brady leaned forward and reached into the end zone to make it 14-3.

“I thought I could try to

make it. We were close.

Not close enough, but we got in on the next play,” said Brady, who shrugged off the two big hits on that drive. “It’s football season, so there’s bumps and bruises, but you’ve got to fight through those.”

Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones also had a big play to finish an odd week that started on Sunday when he left his home reeking of marijuana and showed up shirtless and confused at the local police station. Jones apologized on Thursday, and coach Bill Belichick kept him in the starting lineup.

That left Jones in position to force Knile Davis’ fumble on Kansas City’s first possession of the second half, stopping the Chiefs as they drove into New England territory for the sixth straight time. Brady added another touchdown pass to Gronkowski to make it 21-6.

Smith finally got the Chiefs into the end zone when he hit Albert Wilson on a 10-yard pass that made it 21-13 with 2 minutes left in the third quarter. Kansas City made it 27-20 with just over one minute left in the game on Charcandrick West’s 1-yard run, but Gronkowski smothered the onside kick attempt to protect the lead.

Notes: The Patriots are 18-4 all-time in the playoffs at Gillette Stadium. ... Jon Bon Jovi, a friend of Patriots coach Bill Belichick, was in the owner’s box and led the stadium in a sing-along of his band’s hit song “Livin’ on a Prayer.” ... Belichick reached the conference title game for the 10th time, tied with Tom Landry for most all-time.

The five straight conference title games ties the 1973-77 Oakland Raiders for the most in NFL history. It’s New England’s 12th conference title game overall.

TALK Female characters speak for themselves in bawdy ‘Girls’ Weekend’

By Joanna Hlavacek

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

round the time of her 50th birthday a few years ago, veteran actress Karen Schaeffer, fresh on the heels of a regional acting award for her role in a Des Moines Community Playhouse production, reviewed her options for the upcoming season.

Out of the three major theaters in the Des Moines area, she discovered, there wasn’t much, if anything, for women in her age group — “not the kind of women (she) recognized,” anyway. So Schaeffer wrote a play of her own, a twisted, bawdy farce called “Girls’ Weekend.”

After a successful launch just more than a year ago at the Des Moines Community Playhouse, Schaeffer’s romantic comedy about a book club meeting gone awry is now slated to make its Kansas debut Friday at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive.

“I set out to write a play about the women I know. My neighbors, women in the cubicle across from me, women in the grocery store, my friends — all these beautiful, vibrant women,” Schaeffer says. “And I just wanted to honor them

If you go “Girls’ Weekend” premieres at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. More 7:30 p.m. performances are scheduled for Saturday and for Jan. 28-30, and a 2:30 p.m. matinee is scheduled for Jan. 24 and 31.

Tickets start at $24 and can be purchased at theatrelawrence.com.

and respect them the best way I could. I made them as real as possible.”

The play begins with the promise of a ladies-only getaway to a cabin in the Minnesota woods. Yet, as husbands, boyfriends and assorted men infiltrate the cabin as the snow piles up outside, the façade of the book club begins to crack and shenanigans ensue.

“Girls’ Weekend” is a farce, after all. Which can be tricky to pull off, says Doug Weaver, who’s directing the show at Theatre Lawrence.

SHELF LIFE

Spacing out with ‘Smekday’ author Adam Rex

R

oad trips don’t get much stranger than the one 11-year old Gratuity Tucci must make, accompanied by a soap-eating alien named J-Lo, in this year’s Read Across Lawrence for Kids title, “The True Meaning of Smekday.”

But author and illustrator Adam Rex, whose “divinely demented” sensibility has entertained children and adults alike for more than a decade, rarely stays on the map. Rex, who will join us via Skype on Feb. 27 to crown a month of events we’ve put together with the help of KU Libraries and the Friends of the Library, recently answered a few questions about his book, free copies of which will be distributed (along with pizza, but not soap) to kids at a kickoff party on Jan. 30.

you write Q: Infrom“Smekday,” the point of view

of Gratuity Tucci, an 11-yearold who uses accessible, but not dumbed-down language, and whose intelligence is not treated as an oddity. Is Gratuity exceptional, or do you think today’s kids don’t get enough credit for how smart they really are?

included, and I don’t mind that being part of the heightened reality of the book. Because she isn’t an ’80s movie smart kid who builds supercomputers and invents a potion that makes her cool. She’s just smart in the sense that she’s self-possessed and quickwitted.

nor I ever pitched putting Gratuity on the jacket of “The True Meaning of Smekday.” I can’t speak for my publisher, but I was definitely worried that boys wouldn’t read a book with a girl on the cover, because I remember the easily embarrassed boy I was. As a kid, I liked the Black Stallion books.

“You’ve got to take real, believable characters that we all know and put them into a situation that can, with one or two wrong moves, multiply itself into 6,000 little problems,” Weaver says. “It’s not just plot-heavy or characterheavy or theme-heavy — it’s all of those things, and to write that combination of things is difficult. When you find a play that does all those things so well, it just tickles you.”

That means plenty of oddball characters, plot twists, near misses, multiple exits (six in Theatre Lawrence’s production, plus one oft-visited closet), and, perhaps most importantly, opportunities for the play’s actresses to show off their physicalcomedy chops. Of women of a certain age, Schaeffer says, “we can still fall down and roll over couches and do all the things we were doing in our 20s and 30s.”

It’s a departure from the limited, sometimes “stupid” female roles that usually populate the farce genre, says Schaeffer, who wanted her characters to initiate the action instead of merely allowing the action to happen to, on and around them.

And while the men fill supporting roles, Schaeffer avoids simply flipping the script, Weaver says.

“Easily, the four guys could fall into the category of the lovable bumpkins who are just plot devices,” he says. “But the truth is, the playwright was smart enough to give these four guys unique qualities. They’re not as fleshed out on the page as the four women, but there’s enough there that four really good actors can make them seem like real human beings caught up in a goofy mess.”

Even when that goofy

and replaces them with tin.

But in a good way? Like maybe with the heart still intact?

They made a film that has the same spirit as my book but is different in a lot of ways.

So during the eight years it took from option to screen, I got used to the idea that their story was their story, and I was happy just to have played a small part in making it happen.

STEPHEN, PLAYED BY CHRISTOPH CORDING, hides under sheets and blankets as Carol, played by Hailey Gillespie, mistakes him for her boyfriend during a dress rehearsal for Theatre Lawrence’s upcoming production of “Girls’ Weekend” on Thursday. mess in question entails vomit, a moose head, a glaucoma-inflicted Chihuahua in need of “herbal” medication (i.e., marijuana), and gags about basal thermometers and ovulation.

Like Schaeffer says, these characters are real.

“I wanted to portray actual private conversations that women have together. We do talk about our sex lives, or the difficulties of getting pregnant,” she says. “We’re very open when we’re around other women.

It’s only when you bring men into the picture that we start not talking about those things.”

Overwhelmingly, audiences have embraced “Girls’ Weekend,” which will make its third staging (the second was in South Dakota last fall) at Theatre Lawrence. Not bad for a first-time playwright.

Right now, the goal is to produce the play in as many locations outside of Des Moines as possible, which Schaeffer hopes will attract publishers.

Quietly, without telling her husband, Schaeffer penned the first draft of “Girls’ Weekend” in just two weeks. When she showed Maxwell Schaeffer the script, he told her, “This is actually good.

You need to change some things, but you’ve got a good idea here.”

The couple then

embarked on a two-year process of table reads and revisions to “get it to the place it’s at right now.”

Since then, she’s written two more full-length comedies and is slated to finish work on a joint effort that she calls “High School A Cappella Zombie Musical” (think “Pitch Perfect” meets “The Walking Dead,” Schaeffer says) this summer.

In the meantime, Schaeffer still holds down her day job as an administrative assistant at Iowa Public Television. “Real life” fuels her creativity, she says.

The 54-year-old always loved theater growing up but never studied it in school, having dropped out of college after some ill-conceived dabbling in accounting and computer programming, she says.

After marrying, Schaeffer returned to school, this time graduating with a degree in business management.

“After I went back to college when I was 40, I graduated and didn’t do anything for a while, and I told my husband, ‘You know what I miss about college? I miss the writing and the research,’” Schaeffer recalls. “He’s the one who said, ‘It doesn’t have to stop.’”

All-star cast can’t save ‘Billions’ Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti star in the new highstakes drama “Billions” (9 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA). Stop. You had me at Damian Lewis. Attention must be paid to a cast this impressive. I just wish the writers paid sufficient attention to coming up with more threedimensional characters.

Set in the 21st-century reality of hedge funds, stratospheric salaries and savage inequality, “Billions” stars Lewis as Bobby “Axe” Axelrod, a Wall Street wizard whose winning streaks attract scrutiny. A kid from the streets of Brooklyn who has outsmarted and outperformed competitors with better education and pedigrees, he’s become a folk hero. The fact that most of his staff and colleagues were killed on Sept. 11 and that he has made it his personal goal to put all of their children through college only burnishes his tabloid reputation.

Giamatti plays U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades, a man just as driven as Axe, but on the opposite side of the law. Their conflict is complicated by the fact that Rhoades’ wife, Wendy (Maggie Siff), works for Axe’s company in human resources.

She’s a high-powered therapist, hired after 9/11 to counsel the staff. She’s become their indispensable consigliere. This is an interesting role for Siff, but unfortunately, she’s the only fully drawn female in this show about alpha male top dogs who spout long speeches about transactional strategy when not openly snarling at each other.

If “Billions” were any more drowned in testosterone, the cast would need scuba gear.

We see Axe smile when an untrained German shepherd marks his territory on a priceless rug. He’s later shown to be crestfallen when the same pooch comes home from the vet, bereft of his manhood.

Gee, I wonder what’s on everybody’s mind?

A little levity would be welcome here, but there is none to be found. Nothing deflates insecure males quite like the idea that they’ve become a bit of a joke.

LEARN TO LOVE LICHENS Strange organisms no cause for concern in the garden

W

hat’s to like about lichens? Some people would apparently say a lot, as California became the first state to designate an official lichen on Jan. 1, 2016. Kansas has its share of interesting lichens, too. You just might have walked by without noticing them.

Lichens are small, slow-growing organisms that can grow on just about any undisturbed surface. You might find them on rocks, tree trunks, old bricks, etc. Describing them is difficult because they come in so many colors, shapes and sizes.

For example, the lace lichen (the new state lichen of California) grows in an intricate lacy net that hangs from tree branches in coastal regions.

In the Midwest, lichens might look more like a web of oddlyshaped rubbery leaves, peeling paint, or moss.

More than a lichen’s appearance is unique. The way they grow is unusual because they are composed of two to three specific organisms that grow together to form one.

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith The key component of a lichen is always a fungus.

The second organism may be an algae or a cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Sometimes both an algae and a cyanobacteria are associated with the fungus.

Either way, the fungus is said to “farm” the algae or cyanobacteria because it relies on them for food. The fungus provides moisture, structure, and protection for the algae or cyanobacteria.

Sometimes gardeners are concerned about lichens growing on tree trunks because they fear the lichens affect the

LICHENS, WHICH CONSIST OF A FUNGUS AND AN ALGAE OR CYANOBACTERIA GROWING TOGETHER, are a common sight on tree trunks and other outdoor surfaces. Far from being harmful, they have a number of practical uses, from testing air quality to coloring fabrics. health of the tree. Lichens only use trees and other structures for support though. If they seem more prolific on a dead branch than a live one, the most likely reason is simply that there is more light available on the dead branch than the one shaded by leaves.

California chose to designate a state lichen to bring attention to lichens’ role in the ecosystem. First, lichens are sensitive to air pollution, so they are being used to monitor air quality in the state. Lichens

are also known as an early colonizer on disturbed sites, and they provide food, nesting material, and cover for animals and insects.

Lichens are also used for natural dyes in some regions, and recent research suggests lichens may be useful in medicine. Certain types of lichens have antibiotic properties and have been used in that capacity for many years. Lichens that resemble miniature plants are sometimes dried and preserved for use in model

train displays and architectural scale models.

Most lichens grow less than a millimeter per year, and they are found on all seven continents. Some are considered to be among the oldest living things on earth.

How to choose the right LED lightbulb: six things to know Fix-It Chick

l LED lights come in a virtual rainbow of colors.

The colors we see can be measured in Kelvins. The yellow glow produced by a standard incandescent light is duplicated by a LED bulb whose light temperature falls in the 2,700–3,200 Kelvin range. The higher the Kelvin, the warmer and whiter the light will lumens rather than watts. be. l LED light bulbs are To compare: 40-watt more expensive than incandescent bulbs produce 450 lumens of light, their incandescent or fluorescent counterparts, 60-watt bulbs produce 800 lumens and 100-watt but they use less energy and last longer.

LED bulbs are dimmable, but not all bulbs will work with all dimmers.

Choose a bulb that is marked “dimmable.”

If the bulb does not dim properly, consider updating the old dimmer switch to one that is compatible with LED bulbs. l LED bulbs do not have a way of dispersing the heat they produce.

The life expectancy of a LED bulb is directly related to its design for dispersing heat. Bulbs with a longer life expectancy have more elaborate means of dispersing

heat and are therefore more expensive. l When LED bulbs are used in tightly enclosed spaces, they are unable to disperse heat effectively. This dramatically reduces the bulb’s life expectancy.
