DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS VOTERS WAIT TO BE COUNTED in the track and field area of Liberty Memorial Central Middle School on Saturday. Voters had to be counted outside because both gyms inside the school were filled to capacity.

Sanders, Cruz win Kansas caucuses Douglas County voters Kansas caucuses by the numbers turn out in droves 81,000

A big turnout in Douglas County for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders helped push him over the top in the Kansas Democratic caucuses on Saturday, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won both the local Republican caucuses and the statewide GOP vote. Both Sanders and Cruz took Kansas by more than two-toone margins over their nearest rivals, according to preliminary vote totals from both state parties. More voters than expected turned out for both the Re-

publican and Democratic presidential caucuses Saturday in Douglas County. Long lines at the GOP caucus in Lawrence produced some frustration. And so many turned out in the Democratic caucus that hundreds of voters had to gather outside on a middle school football field to be counted. Sanders nearly swept the caucus in Lawrence, winning 81.4 percent of the vote. But Hillary Clinton won just enough to remain viable in the 2nd State Senate District caucus.

As district prepares to expand blended learning, concerns remain By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Andy Bricker’s classroom is empty. Backpacks and notebooks are laid about, but the students aren’t at their desks. They’re in the school’s rotunda, in the hallways, going up or down the steps. Small groups of students go from station to station throughout the school, directing and focusing telescopes on galaxies not so far away. It’s daytime, and the students are indoors, but images of the galaxies are displayed on computer screens a couple hundred yards away, roughly the same size as they’d be in the night sky,

Bricker explained as he walked from group to group, checking in. The students are working on classifying the galaxies for Bricker’s astronomy and geology class, a blended learning classroom at Lawrence High School. The day’s class period began with a short prelude to the day’s activities. “Let me tell you the general idea, and then I’m going to turn you loose,” Bricker told his students. Next class period, Bricker said the students will enter their findings into a spreadsheet on a shared online drive, and the class will go over their observations.

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

GeorGe robert Learned, M.d., F.I.C.S. Private graveside services for George Robert Learned, M.D., F.I.C.S., Lawrence, KS, were held at 1:00 p.m. February 25, 2016 at Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence. He passed on February 20, 2016 at Pioneer Ridge. A third generation Lawrencian, George was the first of six children. He was born on April 27, 1922 in Lawrence, KS, the first son of Robert and Georgia (Hanson) Learned. As a young child, George took up the trombone and played in the Boy’s Band. He helped supplement the family income by working in the Stokley Van Camp farm fields picking seasonal produce, working in the Lawrence Box Factory and delivering papers. He graduated in 1940 from Liberty Memorial High School and then attended the University of Kansas for almost three years in Civil Engineering. As with many young men of that time, WWII interrupted his college education. George served in the Army Aircorp 367th Fighter Group as a navigator in B-29’s. Both he and his brother Albert were stationed in England while his brother Robert was stationed in the Pacific. George’s trombone went with him where he could be found playing in bands in England and France between flying missions. Returning from WWII as a second lieutenant, George had a very different view of the world and how he wanted to serve humanity. He joined the Sigma Nu Fraternity and obtained both a Bachelor and a Master’s degree in Microbiology from the University of Kansas. During this time, he saw a picture of a very attractive Delta Gamma in a fellow Sigma Nu’s room and asked to be introduced. He married Barbara Joan Creel (Hutchinson, KS), that very attractive Delta Gamma, on September 1, 1951 in Lawrence, KS. While working on his master’s degree both he and Barbara mowed grass, scrubbed animal cages to supplement their income. While in medical school, George was also a TA in the anatomy lab and Barbara quit her college education, typing thesis’s on a manual typewriter at night while working during the day as the Secretary to the Dean of Pharmacology to help put George through medical school. Originally headed to work in a field utilizing his Microbiology degrees he surprised Barbara with the news of his desire to enter the field of Medicine. He graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1955 as a Physician and Surgeon, a few years later becoming a Fellow of the International College of Surgeons

(F.I.C.S.). Headed to Hutchinson, KS to practice medicine the plans abruptly changed when he was offered a medical partnership with Dr. Zimmer in Lawrence. George had medical practices in Lawrence and briefly in Eudora. Upon joining the staff of LMH, he used his military training to help reorganize the LMH emergency room to better facilitate the triage process. George believed when a patient called the house they needed to talk not with an answering company but with an actual person, so the phone rang at all times of the day every day of the year, including holidays. He had his young daughters convinced for some time when he went to carve the turkey it held a special connection to the ER calling. George continued the practice of house calls almost until the day he retired in 1999. He was over a 50-year member of the Plymouth Congregational Church, a member of the Lawrence Breakfast Optimists until all the late night house calls took precedence, scientific honor society Sigma XI, VFW Dorsey Liberty Post and was a life member of the University Alumnae Association. After retirement he played trombone in the New Horizon’s Band and joined the Ham Radio Club (call sign WDØFAI). Other survivors include two daughters, Sharon Learned, M.S., Lawrence, KS, Stephanie (Julian) Sandino, M.S., Overland Park, KS; three grandchildren, Gabriela Sandino, Nicolas Sandino, Sofia Sandino; sisters-in-law, Dixie (Wheeler) Learned, Wichita, KS and Marge Learned, Biloxi, MS; brother, Robert (Iona) Learned, Manhattan, KS, and many nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces. His wife, Barbara, preceded him in death on September 4, 2012. He was also preceded in death by his parents, brothers; Eddie, John, Albert and sister Martha. The family would like to express their thanks for all the kind and loving care by the Pioneer Ridge staff and the Douglas County VNA Hospice, especially Melissa Transue and Christina Jordan. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials in his name to the Lawrence Humane Society or your local humane society or the Douglas County VNA and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary. Cards may be sent in care of WarrenMcElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street, Lawrence, KS or online condolences may be sent to www. warrenmcelwain.com. Please sign this guestbook at Obituaries.

New system may forecast tornadoes weeks in advance By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

Washington — Researchers say they’ve come up with a way to predict the likelihood of tornadoes two or three weeks in advance — a step toward better warnings of storms that kill an average of 80 Americans each year. Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at the College of DuPage outside Chicago, found a link between tornado activity in the United States and complicated atmospheric wave patterns that shift every 40 to 60 days. The pattern is dependable enough that last year he used it to predict overall tornado activity in the nation — and was right 10 out of 15 times. Now, Gensini has predicted higher than normal tornado activity from today through March 19. Normally, there are about 14 or 15 tornadoes a week this time of year, but the forecasters predict at least 22, and likely more. Technically the prediction is for the nation as a whole, but Gensini said conditions are especially ripe for tornadoes in the Southeast and Great Plains. Specifically, he said, that means Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, southern Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and parts of Virginia. Gensini said he predicted these conditions back on Feb. 22. And in the past few days, the more widely used weath-

er models have suddenly started to forecast severe weather for that area. “Victor’s results look promising,” although some big challenges and unknowns remain, emailed Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center. Because twisters are so small and short-lived — unlike hurricanes that meteorologists track for days as they lumber toward the coast — they are somewhat of a mystery for forecasters. Meteorologists now give notice up to five days in advance that thunderstorm conditions are going to be ripe for tornadoes, but that’s only as they forecast storm systems come together. It’s ever changing, so it can’t be statistical enough to provide the public with a longer term heads’ up, like they get with El Nino or hurricane seasons. Gensini’s study is based on something called the Global Wind Oscillation — actually, a collection of climate and weather wobbles, like the familiar El Nino and the less familiar and more short-range Madden Julian Oscillation. It’s more of a catch-all index that operates as “an atmospheric orchestra,” Gensini said. He has examined the biggest tornado outbreaks of past 50 years, including a deadly outbreak in April 2011 that killed 316 people. Each occurred during a transitional phase similar to the one we are about to experience.

Data: Old funding formula would hurt KC schools Wichita (ap) — Reverting to an old public education funding system that would be acceptable to the Kansas Supreme Court would help more than half of the state’s schools, but suburban Kansas City schools would take a hit, according to data from the Kansas Department of Education. Statewide, 79 districts, including several in Johnson County, would suffer net losses in state aid if the state returns to the old equalization formula, while 162 districts would see increases, according to Kansas Department of Education numbers. Another 45 districts would have flat funding, The Wichita Eagle reported. The Kansas Supreme Court told lawmakers in February that restoring the state’s old equalization formula would address the inequities between school districts, but the court left lawmakers room to explore other options. The court said it could close schools if lawmakers fail to fix inequities before July. The old formula provided more money to districts that were considered property poor, to “equalize” them with districts considered property rich. Property-poor districts have to tax at a higher rate to raise the same amount of funding as their richer peers. Last year, the Legislature scrapped the old formula. Instead it adopted “block grants” based on what districts received previously. Backers anticipated from the beginning that legislators would draft a replacement formula. The Shawnee Mission school district stands to lose $3 million in state aid if the state ditches the block grants for the old equalization formula, while the Blue Valley School District would lose $2.4 million. Another issue with using the old formula is that it would also require the cash-strapped state to spend $35.6 million more for the 20162017 school year. The state already faces a budget shortfall of about $48 million for this year, after it missed tax revenue estimates by $53.5 million last month. Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, the House Appropriations chair, said the analysis that shows some districts losing money “would make it very difficult for legislators” to vote in favor of a bill even in the face of the court’s threat to close schools. Johnson County’s 34-member legislative delegation includes conservative and moderate Republicans, who often split on school issues. “This is the one thing that would unify the Johnson County delegation,” said Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, predicting that neither conservatives nor moderates would vote for a plan that gives less state aid to county schools.

THE BURGE UNION, SHOWN AT CENTER RIGHT ON FRIDAY, IS SLATED TO BE RAZED AND REBUILT as part of Kansas University’s Central District redevelopment plans. In the frame at upper left, below the Daisy Hill dorms, is some of the ongoing preparation for the Central District.

Burge Union’s last day nears

Shelter still hasn’t submitted its plan

Building closes Friday; demolition set for later this spring By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

ansas University’s Burge Union was built to accommodate rapid growth around Daisy Hill, the opposite side of campus as the original Kansas Memorial Union. Nearly 40 years later, the Burge is being torn down and rebuilt for the same reason. Soon, hundreds more students are going to reside in KU’s Central District, and they need a union — just not the same kind of union they needed when the Burge first opened in 1979. “Over time, the Burge Union’s

mission had to evolve and change,” said David Mucci, KU Memorial Unions director. Following a decommissioning ceremony planned for 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Burge, the building will close for good Friday. It’s set for demolition later this spring. A new union is scheduled to be built by fall 2018, just south of the current building’s footprint. It’s one of several new buildings in KU’s $350 million Central District redevelopment plan. An integrated science facility and a parking garage will be clustered near it, according to KU’s plans.

KU Memorial Unions will mark the closing of the Burge Union with a decommissioning ceremony at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the top floor lounge of the Burge, 1601 Irving Hill Road. Tuesday’s ceremony is open to the public and will feature mini-rolls from Munchers Bakery — a tribute to the building’s namesake, the late Frank Burge, who was known to hand them out on campus after retiring as Union Director.

Finally, a rate that’s worh your interest.

If commissioners agree with a proposed design Tuesday, the intersection would be slated for construction this spring and summer. The remainder of 19th Street would be rebuilt in summer 2017. The intersection is currently three-way. KU plans to build Ousdahl Road north of 19th Street and include a traffic signal at the intersection. The new road will be an entrance to the Central District, which will be constructed over the next few years and include new dorms, a student union and parking facilities. The city would be responsible for financing the rest of the intersection. The total expected construction cost is $860,000, with KU contributing approximately $250,000 to $300,000.

On March 2, about 40 people attended a public meeting on the project. In an effort to prevent traffic to and from KU from cutting through the residential area south of 19th Street, planners decided vehicles traveling on Ousdahl would only be able to make right or left turns onto 19th Street. “The intersection will be designed with raised islands to prohibit through traffic either northbound or southbound,” City Engineer Dave Cronin said. “(Drivers will) only be able to turn left or right, to prevent cut-through traffic into the neighborhood.” According to the memo, construction on Ousdahl Road north of 19th Street would start in April or May. The intersection would close after KU Commencement in late May, and it would reopen before classes started up again in August. The southern portion of Ousdahl Road would be constructed in August

LAWRENCE History of the Burge Union l The three-story, 31,500-square-foot union is located on Irving Hill Road between Jayhawker Towers and Allen Fieldhouse. l Opened to students Aug. 20, 1979, as the Satellite Student Union. l Construction cost was $2.5 million, paid for mostly by a student fee increase approved by a student body vote in 1976. l Renamed the Frank R. Burge Union in 1983.

Burge was the first full-time Kansas Union Director, a position he held for 30 years before his retirement in 1982. l Burge was known for his union leadership and hospitable presence on campus, being called the “most gracious host on campus.” After retiring, Burge still frequented both the Burge and the Kansas unions until his death in 2004. — Source: KUHistory.com

Other offices will permanently move elsewhere on campus. The new union will not have a full-service dining option like the Burge does, though it will have a coffee shop and convenience store.

The nearby DeBruce Center, expected to open by late April, will feature a cafeteria-style dining option.

and September. For the rest of 19th Street from Iowa Street to Naismith Drive, the city is planning three lanes: one lane in each direction plus a center turning lane. Under the proposed design, there would be bike lanes in each direction, and a sidewalk would be installed on the north side of the street. There is already a sidewalk on the south side. At Iowa Street, 19th would be widened to include more turning lanes. Completion of that project is expected sometime in 2017 or 2018. Commissioners will specifically be asked Tuesday to approve a $43,000 agreement with an engineering firm for the final design of the 19th and Ousdahl intersection. The City Commission meets at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

Shelter Meyer had told city officials he would submit the plan on Feb. 16 or Feb. 17, but it was not submitted. He told the Journal-World that he hoped to submit the plan on Feb. 26, but again it wasn’t submitted. Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay said Friday the city still had not received the report. “As you know, we are actively pressing them to get something to us,” Toomay said via email. “Any repercussions would need to be determined by the City Commission.” Meyer did submit an annual report that said the shelter’s board of directors had cut the shelter’s budget by $300,000 to help shore up the organization’s finances.

L awrence J ournal -W orld and boxlike Burge is not a particularly striking building architecturally. “I am not receiving a lot of concerns about the loss of the facility itself,” Mucci said. “The only concern I have been given is that it was named for (former Kansas Union Director) Frank Burge, who was revered and loved.” A tribute to Burge will exist in the new building, Mucci said. It will feature the current building’s dedication plaque, a portrait of Burge and a historical panel highlighting the man known as “the most gracious host on campus.” There is a chance the new union could bear his name, as well. Most new KU buildings lately are named for their lead donors, but no private donations are being used to construct the new union.

Initial estimates budgeted construction costs to be around $10 million. The union’s construction and operating costs will be funded by a student fee increase and sales from its coffee shop and convenience store, said Lisa Kring, KU Memorial Unions building services director. The Kansas Board of Regents ultimately must approve the naming of any state university facility. KU has a Building Names Committee that makes recommendations to the chancellor and, ultimately, the regents. Kring and Arney said they expect Unions representatives and Student Senate to discuss ideas and present one to the committee. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

Learning

Nedved said that the overall goal of more engagement, personalization and student choice is “learner agency.” “That’s really the students gaining more control and understanding of what they need to learn, how they learn best, what they need to relearn, what they need to unlearn,” she said. “And I think that this environment can influence that for our students, and that builds their capacity to be more self-aware, once they understand that.”

In a math class at Quail Run Elementary School, the lesson starts without any all-group instructional period. That’s because as a blended classroom, the students are working at their own pace, said fifth-grade teacher Christine Valcich. “Right now, there are students working in three different chapters,” Valcich explained. Throughout the class period, students also chose to work individually, in small groups and with or without a computer. Meanwhile, Valcich talks with students one on one. “So where are we headed; what’s our goal for the day?” Valcich asks one student toward the beginning of the class period. The student sets a goal to work 10 problems. The blended learning model “blends” lecturebased instruction with small-group or individual activities that often rely on technology and online resources. These two classrooms are not unique; throughout the Lawrence school district, about 300 such classrooms are in place. Starting next school year, the majority of the more than 700 classrooms in the Lawrence school district will use blended learning, and the model is set to expand to all classrooms in coming years. The advantages of the method touted by educators include more engaging, personalized and self-paced lessons for students. But some say there are components of blended learning that don’t benefit all students, as well as pitfalls of the method that teachers should be mindful of.

How the method is implemented Especially with classes that involve a lot of reading, LHS junior Kansas Gibler does not think she benefits from blended learning. Gibler has a blended classroom for history, and she said that for her, the model doesn’t always work. “We have had assignments when we are supposed to read articles off the computer screens and take notes over them,” she said. “I would say that most of those days I’m not engaged whatsoever.” Others have had more positive experiences. Kyle Camarda has two daughters who attend Lawrence schools, and he thinks expanding the blended learning method districtwide is a “great idea.” Camarda, an associate professor of engineering at Kansas University, said he even uses the teaching method himself. For his middle school daughter, Camarda said that using technology to individualize and selfpace lessons “worked very well.” But Camarda also said that to use blended learning properly he thinks it’s important to balance instruction and individual or smallgroup activities. He said he thinks that balance can depend on the lesson, but generally should be about 50/50. “Sometimes it takes a teacher to come over and say, ‘You’re getting this wrong, let me show you how this works oneto-one,’” Camarda said. “And I wouldn’t want that to go away, and I don’t think it does in properly used blended learning. We’re not taking teachers out of classrooms.” The balance of instruction and activity also varies by subject. During the math lesson at Quail Run, at least a few students are out of their seat at any one time, checking their answers against answer keys spread out on a table, getting up to work with other students or talking to Valcich.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER ANDY BRICKER gives some instruction to his students on how to properly use a telescope prior to a field exercise on Monday. Bricker uses a blended learning teaching model in his astronomy and geology class.

“

It’s a lot easier for students to be working on something else because you put them in front of a computer... but oftentimes — especially when you’re not checking that every day — it’s easy for people to not do what they’re supposed to be doing.” — Lawrence High School junior Kansas Gibler

“It seems chaotic, but they all have their jobs to do,” Valcich said. Though while her math lesson has very little all-group instruction, she said that for other subjects, such a reading, the balance falls the other way. For math at least, a lot of the instruction is done with videos of teachers explaining concepts and working through problems. Students can pause the video, or go back and re-watch all or part of it. “It’s less of the teacher and more of the technology,” said fifth-grade student Zoe Counts. But Zoe said she prefers it that way, because she can work at her own pace and if she is still confused after re-watching a video, she can have the teacher explain it. Still, throughout the class period at Quail Run, there was more than one student who worked on their math individually and without technology. One student seemed distracted enough by the bustle of the classroom around him that — sitting at a round table surrounded by other students — he put up a special blocker, bent at a 90-degree angle around him, while he worked with paper and pencil, his face very close to the worksheet in front of him.

The possibility for distraction Regardless of their opinions on blended learning, teachers, students and parents alike recognize that when students are working on a computer, distractions are close at hand, even with school filters removing the worst of them. “It’s a lot easier for students to be working on something else because you put them in front of a computer,” Gibler said. “And you expect them to do what you’ve provided for them, but oftentimes — especially when you’re not checking that every day — it’s easy for people to not do what they’re supposed to be doing.” Bricker agreed that the computer offers distractions, but also said that teachers are used to dealing with distracted students, and that the educational aspects of computers and online resources outweigh that. He said that he thinks

that challenge exists in any system. “There’s always a way to distract yourself; there’s always a way to pretend,” Bricker said. “So I don’t think that’s unique to this time. I think the solution has always been that you need to be in touch with what the students are doing.” But for Gibler, she said it’s more a matter of her personal learning style, and that while she likes being able to access class materials such as PowerPoint presentations or assignments online, she does her best learning from lectures. “When teachers are talking for the first five minutes and the last five minutes, and the rest of the time (students are) just working on what they’re given, that’s not a style I can learn from,” she said. In addition, with the increase of group work used with blended learning, Bricker said that teachers need to be intentional about the size of the groups and who is working together, and not always letting students choose their own groups. “When you put people in groups, there’s a chance that somebody is not going to do anything,” he said. “So there’s the most important danger to look out for: Is everybody engaged? And paying attention to them when they’re in the groups.”

Benefits Still, proponents of the blended learning method say it offers students much more than they could get from a textbook or lecture. Bricker said the resources involved in blended learning, such as the online platform Blackboard and computer simulations of labs or activities, offer material he wouldn’t otherwise have. It gives him a chance to be more creative with lesson planning, he said. “I think it’s just a way to take advantage of more resources, to give students access to the information or activities to learn the information,” Bricker said. One of the benefits of the method is that offering students a choice of activities means they will be more engaged. In addition to lessons themselves, Bricker said he often lets student choose whether they will work individually or as a group, and with whom they will work. “When there’s more choices there’s a greater likelihood that there will be something that someone’s more interested in,” Bricker said. “Really, engagement is like the baseline of what it’s all about, I think.” One of the main district administrators in charge of the blended learning rollout is Angelique Nedved, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning.

Timeline Using the blended method to personalize learning was the idea of Adam Holden, who was assistant superintendent for teaching and learning from 2012 to 2013. Blended learning in the district began with an initial field test of eight classrooms in the 2012-13 school year. Currently, the about 300 district-supported blended classrooms are mostly at the elementary level, but additional classrooms across all grade levels will roll out next school year. Following the pilot year, the district surveyed teachers, parents and students from those eight classrooms, and Nedved said Lawrence school board members and administration came to a general consensus to begin expanding the model. Nedved said because the method was new, there were not other surveys or studies to consult on the effectiveness of the method ahead of making that choice. “The data was pretty limited at that time, because it was so new,” she said. “We were really relying primarily on internally what we experiencing and seeing, and collecting and hearing from classrooms, students and parents.” The most recent data available is a 2014 district survey of those involved in some of the first blended classrooms. That survey indicated that 97 percent of blended learning teachers thought the initiative had increased student engagement and 76 percent said achievement had increased as measured by assessments. About 82 percent of students said they felt better prepared for blended classes than traditional classes. About 70 percent of parents said their child was experiencing success in blended classrooms. Since the initiative began about four years ago, teachers who use the model have done so voluntarily after being selected via an application process, Nedved previously said. The district usually gets about 100 applications per year and expects to add another 65 to 75 blended classrooms next school year, she said. While one of the cornerstones of the blended method is student choice,

student enrollment sheets do not indicate whether a classroom is blended. Gibler would like choice to extend even further; she said that she thinks the best option, at least for the immediate future, is to label blended classes as such for enrollment purposes, and make sure that students are able to select the option in which they learn best. “I know kids who would love to be in a blended classroom who aren’t and kids who hate being in a blended classroom who are,” she said. Still, Gibler recognized that being comfortable working with online platforms like Google Drive or Blackboard is important for students for both college and future careers, and that some degree of exposure is important. For younger students, the adjustment

may be easier, she said. “I don’t want to say that I think blended learning is a bad idea because it doesn’t work for me,” she said. “I have a sister who is in sixth grade right now, and she’s been doing blended learning for years, and by the time she’s in high school, she’ll be comfortable with learning that way and a lot of her peers will be too.” The district conducted another survey of teachers, students and parents on blended learning this school year. Nedved said those results will be presented to the Lawrence school board by the end of the month. Nedved estimated that all classrooms in the school district will be blended by the year 2021. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

about how sad that is, the whole process of not being allowed to cast a ballot in 45 minutes of one’s day.” Republican officials said a slow Internet connection at Southwest Middle School caused delays in early voting, with some voters having to stand in line 30-40 minutes just to verify their voter registration. But that didn’t dampen the spirits of all GOP voters, including Cori Tate, a Free State High School student who cast her very first vote in any kind of election Saturday.

“I think it’s interesting,” she said. “I like how casual it is. It seems like everybody is just here to participate, and I think it’s good that everybody’s here to vote for the person they want to be president, and have a say in the process. I just think it’s great.” But Vera Cole, who said she’s accustomed to voting in traditional primaries, said she did not enjoy the time spent listening to campaign speeches before the votes took place. “I want to vote,” she said. “I’ve already read. I already know. I’ve listened. I don’t want to come and listen. I only have time to vote. And I don’t like the idea of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Four hours? Look at the crowd. It’s not fair to people. Look how many wheelchair people we have.” For Democratic voters, the process was longer because instead of casting paper ballots, as Republicans did, they had to physically stay in place, in some cases for hours, to be counted. At Liberty Memorial

Central Middle School, hundreds of voters were still standing in line trying to get in by 3 p.m., when all voters were technically supposed to be in place. Those who showed up early quickly filled the large gymnasium, and the overflow Sanders crowd was sent to the smaller gym. But within an hour or so, that gym also filled to capacity, and hundreds more voters were sent outside to the school’s track and field area to be counted. Still, most Democratic voters remained upbeat about the process, at least as they were standing in line waiting to get in. “I think this is great, and I think the amount of millennials here and the people age 18-25 is amazing, and it’s showing just how passionate we are about this race,” said Brianna Woods, a first-time voter. “It’s great. I love the weather. I was here eight years ago, and I’m comparing it to that,” said Terry Smith, referring to the 2008 caucuses that were held during an ice storm on Feb. 5 that year. Her husband, George Smith, said he had no preference between the caucus process and traditional primaries. “Either way. Whatever gets participation,” he said. “I wouldn’t say that (the caucus) is any better, but it does give people the chance to make their case.” Kansas has not conducted a presidential primary since 1992, despite a state law on the books calling for primaries, because each presidential year, Kansas lawmakers refused to fund them. The Legislature finally repealed the statute calling for primaries last year.

Budget hole The governor’s economic “experiment” is hurting Kansas.

t’s not a particularly bold prediction to say that last week’s cuts to state university budgets won’t be the last reductions the state will have to make to balance the current year’s budget. Even after economic experts lowered their revenue predictions in November, state tax receipts are falling below projections. The latest report showed that tax revenues for February fell $53.6 million below the adjusted estimates. The announcement of that shortfall was followed immediately by an announcement from Gov. Sam Brownback that he would impose a 3 percent “allotment” cut that would require state universities to reduce their spending for the current fiscal year by $17 million. Brownback had proudly pointed to the fact that he had held higher education “harmless” in earlier cuts to the current year’s budget, but those days now are over. What will be next? It’s only been about two weeks since the Legislature passed budget plans for this year and next, but those budgets already are out of balance. The budget for the rest of this year carried a slim $6 million ending balance, which the February revenue report instantly turned into a $47 million deficit. Even with the $17 million cut to state universities, the state still is $30 million short — and that’s without four more months of likely revenue shortfalls before the end of the fiscal year and without any plan in place to address the Kansas Supreme Court’s ruling on school finance. The state already is proposing a measure to divert traffic fine money from local governments to bolster state coffers. How far will lawmakers go to try to preserve the fiction that their economic plans are working? It seems impossible to many Kansans that the governor and legislative leaders can’t recognize that the course they are on is damaging to the state and its residents. Even more unbelievable is that they can see that damage but are unwilling to do anything about it. Their refusal to consider any adjustment to large income tax cuts passed in 2012 lends credence to the suggestion of some observers that the current financial situation might be exactly what the governor and other leaders who favor smaller government planned all along. It’s hard to cut spending, they reason, but if you strangle state revenues to the point that there is no money to spend, it makes it easier to politically justify those cuts. Brownback continues to claim that Kansas has “an economic problem, not a tax policy problem.” He blames the economic problems on external factors, but the economic and employment recovery in Kansas has been slower than in other states. The tax cuts that were supposed to be “a shot of adrenaline” to the Kansas economy haven’t helped the economy, but they may be working perfectly as a strategy to downsize Kansas government regardless of the impact that has on Kansas residents. For the last several years, lawmakers have shielded the state from the worst impacts of the revenue shortfall by spending reserve funds, sweeping money from the state highway fund and other state programs and increasing the state’s debt. At the same time, the state has eliminated government agencies and services and reduced its support for some of the state’s most vulnerable residents. Is this what success looks like for Brownback’s “experiment” with the Kansas economy? It sure doesn’t look like success in the eyes of many Kansans. LAWRENCE

Anti-Obama focus damaged GOP “If he was for it, we had to be against it.” — Former U.S. Sen. George Voinovich quoted in “The New New Deal” by Michael Grunwald The “he” is President Obama. The “we” is the Republican Party. And it is not coincidental that as the former pushes toward the end of his second term, the latter is coming apart. The GOP is an incoherent mess. Republican-on-Republican rhetorical violence has become commonplace. Party members find themselves mulling whether to break away and form a third party or unite behind a coarse, blustering bigot whose scapegoating and strongman rhetoric has Holocaust survivors comparing him to Hitler. The situation is so objectively and transparently grim that many on the right no longer even bother to spin it. “I’m a lifelong Republican,” tweeted historian Max Boot last week, “but (the) Trump surge proves that every bad thing Democrats have ever said about GOP is basically true.” “It would be terrible,” wrote Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens last week, “to think that the left was right about the right all these years.”

“

There is a sense of just deserts in watching panicked Republicans try to stop Trump as he goose-steps toward coronation, but it is tempered by the realization that there’s far more at stake here than the GOP’s comeuppance.” But it can be argued that Trump is less the cause than an inevitable effect of the party’s looming disintegration. It can be argued that what’s really destroying the Republican Party is the Republican Party. The popular storyline goes that voters are seeking political outsiders this year in their frustration over a government where the legislative gears are frozen and nothing gets done. What that storyline forgets is that this

gridlock was by design, that GOP leaders held a meeting on the very evening of the president’s first inauguration and explicitly decided upon a policy of non-cooperation to deny him anything approaching a bipartisan triumph. The party followed this tactic with such lockstep discipline and cynical disregard for the national welfare that in 2010, seven Republican co-sponsors of a resolution to create a deficit reduction task force voted against their own bill because Obama came out for it. They feared its passage might make him look good. In the book quoted above, Michael Grunwald distilled the GOP’s thinking as follows: “As long as Republicans refused to follow his lead, Americans would see partisan food fights and conclude that Obama had failed to produce change.” Republicans and their media accomplices buttressed that strategy with a campaign of insult and disrespect designed to delegitimize Obama. With their endless birther stupidity, their death panels idiocy, their constant budget brinksmanship and their cries of, “I want my country back!” they stoked in the public nothing less than hatred for the interloper in the White

House who’d had the nerve to be elected president. And the strategy worked, hobbling and frustrating Obama. But as a bullet doesn’t care who it hits and a fire doesn’t care who it burns, the forces of ignorance and unreason, grievance and fear the Republicans calculatedly unleashed have not only wounded the president. No, it becomes more apparent every day that those forces have gravely wounded politics itself, meaning the idea that we can — or even should — reason together, compromise, form consensus. There is a sense of just deserts in watching panicked Republicans try to stop Trump as he goosesteps toward coronation, but it is tempered by the realization that there’s far more at stake here than the GOP’s comeuppance. This is our country we’re talking about. This is its future we choose in November. And any future presided over by “President Trump” is too apocalyptic to contemplate. Yet, the possibility is there, and that’s sobering. It is bad enough the Republicans may have destroyed themselves. One wonders whether they will take America with them. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Discrimination has many faces There wasn’t any racism at the university I attended 50 years ago. My school was all-white. Nor were women subjected to gender bias or date rape. There weren’t any women. But that didn’t mean there was no bigotry, no discrimination. Almost from the moment we set foot on campus, we became subject to a “dominance hierarchy” that determined our status. By a mysterious but inevitable process, we separated ourselves into alpha and omega males, cool guys and square guys, winners and losers, the superior few atop the mediocre many. Membership in clubs was determined by ruthless interviews that separated the wheat from the chaff. Some of my classmates now recall feeling that they weren’t welcome, that they didn’t “fit in.” Since then, women and minorities have been admitted and my school has become a better place. But ironically, many minority students report the same feelings of exclusion, of not being welcome, of not fitting in. Campus protests across the country have demanded that their universities become more sensitive, more welcoming, more inclusive, more comfortable and safe. There have even been demands for “cultural affinity housing,” an ironic pitch for segregation. One of the troubling aspects of the movement is a challenge to free speech. Some alumni have written letters advising students that they’re overly sensitive, that they should concentrate on getting an education and that

“

The great advantage of being white in America is that it liberates you from having to think of yourself in terms of race. … You’re free to define yourself as an individual. That should be the goal for everyone.”

But in spite of attempts to promote inclusiveness and tolerance, regardless of social programs and legislation, human beings tend to selfsegregate and associate with those they perceive as their “own kind,” whether by race, tribe, religion or other standard. That feeds the kind of identity politics that poisons our society today. It can lead to hatred and even warfare between “us” and “them.” The great advantage of being white in America is that it liberates you from having to think of yourself in terms of race. You’re unlikely to be stopped by a policeman on account of the color your skin. You’re free to define yourself as an individual. That should be the goal for everyone. When will this ideal come to pass? When will we cease categorizing one another as black or white? “Maybe in a thousand years or two thousand years in America,” says Ike McCaslin, a character in a story by William Faulkner. “But not now! Not now!” He can’t imagine a color blind America where race isn’t the defining reality. He tells a black woman, whose child was fathered by one of McCaslin’s white kinsmen, to go north and marry someone of her own race. She responds by evoking the only power strong enough to overcome prejudice and hate “Old man,” she answers, “have you lived so long and forgotten so much that you don’t remember anything you ever knew or felt or even heard about love?”

the world outside is neither comfortable or safe. Unfortunately, feelings of exclusion are a common feature of the human condition. If my university had been all black, there would probably have been the same kind of hierarchy, the same exclusions, the same designations of insiders and outsiders. Moreover, “diversity” isn’t just a matter of race. In spite of its racial homogeneity, my school in the ’60s certainly didn’t lack for “diversity.” We had introverts and extroverts, slackers and go-getters, Joe College party animals and reclusive book worms. We had our quota of jerks as well as quirky outcasts who went on to become spectacular successes. — George Gurley, a resident of Ideally, we should judge one another as individuals, rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World. not as members of a group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 6, 1916: years “Only three famiago lies have taken IN 1916 advantage of the board of education’s recent ruling and asked that their children be excused at 3 o’clock. The ruling which was made by the board was that any child making good second grade work or better might be excused upon request of the parent at 3 o’clock every afternoon. ‘While only a few parents have taken advantage of this opportunity for a shorter school day,’ says Superintendent Smith, ‘many others would like to see their children spend one more hour in the open. They will not have their children dismissed, however, when other children are in school receiving instruction.’” “Mrs. Jane Lavin, living near Lecompton, reported to the county authorities that she was held up by two masked men and mortgage papers she held on the farm of her sister were taken from her and an attack was made upon her. According to the story which she told yesterday at the home of John Damm, she was alone in her home when the phone rang and she was asked if her sons were home. She answered that her sons were at Stull. Later two masked men appeared and upon threats of death demanded the mortgage papers which she held over the place of her sister. Mrs. Lavin next remembers awaking on the floor evidently where she had fallen from a blow behind the ear. It is said at Lecompton that there has been considerable dissension between Mrs. Lavin, her sister and brother over the disposition of the property of their father, A. Murphy, who died lately. The alleged attack was the talk of Lecompton yesterday. It was impossible to hold church on account of it. The authorities at Lawrence were notified and County Attorney J. S. Amich went to Lecompton to investigate.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

New Eudora eatery to offer traditional comfort food

hose looking for a kale salad or the latest trendy dish probably won’t be visiting The Fork when it opens March 15 in downtown Eudora. Mellissa Dake, who will run the restaurant alongside business partner Matthew Houser, said The Fork would feature more traditional food. “We’ll have chickenfried-chicken, chickenfried steak, Reubens, open-faced sandwiches and club sandwiches,” she said. “It’s home-cooking. Comfort food.” Pies and fresh brownies will also be available, Dake said. Their menu did turn heads at their previous

restaurant, the Fork and Cork in Oskaloosa, earning the eatery the No. 6 spot in one magazine’s list of the top 20 things to do in Kansas, Dake said. When the landlord hiked the rent, they closed the restaurant. They looked to Eudora at

the suggestion of Dake’s uncle, Eudora public works director Mike Hutto, who said the town needed a good restaurant. Dake and Houser found the site at 826 Main St., the former home of Lulu’s Bakery, in need of sprucing up. They have been busy with a $6,000 remodel, which was aided by a $3,000 downtown grant from the city. They’ve installed a tile floor and a new ceiling. The walls are now covered with corrugated sheet metal, barn wood and fresh paint. The kitchen has also had a makeover, Dake said. The Fork will have room for 14 to 16 diners, Houser said. With

such limited space, they welcome carry-out and call-in orders, he said. The plan is to install an L-shaped concrete or paver patio to the south and west of the building, which will have room for four or five tables, Houser said. Dake and Houser hope to have the project finished this spring. The Fork will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. l Baldwin Insurance Services is about to mark its first month in its new home at 604 High St. Owner Mike Rietcheck said the agency moved from its Mid-America Bank location on Feb. 8.

“We were growing and needed more space, and Mid-America is a progressive and growing bank,” he said. “This worked out for everybody.” Baldwin Insurance Services is an independent agency.

Two recent studies have confirmed that omega-3 supplements can in fact greatly reduce symptoms of dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Andrea Olenik, MD, of the Jimenez Diaz Foundation in Madrid, Spain, and her colleagues in the Dry Eye Study Group treated 905 patients with varying degrees of dry eye syndrome. The patients were an average of 60 years old, and 72 percent of them were women. Olenik and her colleagues asked the subjects to take three daily capsules of a formula providing omega-3 fish oils, vitamin A, and small amounts of other vitamins and minerals for 12 weeks. The daily dose was 1,050 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 127.5 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), along with 1,332 IU of vitamin A. By the end of the study, the patients had significant improvements in dry eye syndrome. On average, all dry eye symptoms had decreased by 43 percent. In addition, the percentage of patients with strong symptoms of dry eye decreased from 53 to 34 percent. Just over 68 percent of patients reported that they tolerated their contact lenses far better after taking the supplements, and the average number of daily applications of artificial tears also decreased significantly. In a separate study, Haleh Kangari, OD, PhD, and colleagues at the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran, treated 64 patients with either omega-3 supplements or placebos daily for 30 days.

Studies Find that Omega-3 Fish Oils Reduce Severity of Dry Eye Syndrome

The daily dose of omega-3s added up to 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA. By the end of the study, people taking omega-3s had signiﬁcant improvements in their dry eye symptoms, compared with negligible changes in the placebo group. The omega-3s led to a “decrease in the rate of tear evaporation, an improvement in dry eye symptoms, and an increase in tear secretion,” according to Kangari.

You’ve probably seen the television commercials for an expensive prescription drug treatment for dry eye syndrome. The condition leaves the eyes feeling dry, gritty, tired, and sometimes painful. Some research has found that omega-3 supplements can greatly reduce the symptoms of dry eyes, strongly suggesting that the disorder may result from a nutritional deﬁciency.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has introduced legislation to educate health care providers about what HIPAA does and doesn’t permit.

Chip and Gail Angell would have paid any price to save their son. They didn’t get the chance. Chris, 39, who suffered from schizophrenia, refused to allow his doctors to talk to his parents, even though they were his primary caregivers. So the Angells weren’t able to correct their son’s medical chart, which incorrectly listed the young man as uninsured. They weren’t able to plead with doctors not to base their son’s treatment on cost. “Whenever we tried to get Chris into the hospital, we always ran into the fact that doctors wouldn’t talk to us,” says Chip Angell, of Brooklin, Maine, who says his son’s doctor never returned his calls.

“Some doctors think they’re protecting the privacy rights of the patient. Others simply use privacy as an excuse because they don’t want to talk to someone with an idea contrary to their own, or because they can’t be bothered to call someone back.” Although a federal law on patient privacy was written to protect patients’ rights, the Angells and a growing number of mental health advocates say the law has harmed the care of adults with serious mental illness, who often depend on their families for care but don’t always recognize that they’re sick or need help. The federal law, called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, forbids health providers from disclosing a patient’s medical information without consent.

ASHLEY L. CONTI FOR USA TODAY

Unlike patients with physical conditions, people with serious mental illness often need help making decisions and taking care of themselves because their illness impairs their judgment, says Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. In some cases, patients may not realize they’re sick. Excluding families can have a devastating impact on such patients, Lieberman says. Many health providers don’t understand what HIPAA allows them to say. As a result, they shut out families, even in circumstances in which they’re legally allowed to share information, says Ron Manderscheid, executive director of v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Utah senator says Flint doesn’t need U.S. aid, blocks bill GOP’s Lee objects to ‘federalizing’ system Todd Spangler

The Detroit Free Press

WASHINGTON — A Republican U.S. senator from Utah is holding up a federal funding package worth more than $100 million that could help address the issue of high lead levels found in Flint’s water, saying in a statement Friday that no federal aid is needed at this time. U.S. Sen. Mike Lee said the measure proposed by Sens. Deb-

bie Stabenow and Gary Peters, both D-Mich., represented a “federalizing” of water infrastructure. He argued that the state has not directly asked Congress for any emergency spending and has its own surplus to spend if needed. “Michigan has an enormous budget surplus this year and a large rainy-day fund,” Lee said. “Relief and repair efforts are already in the works. The people and policymakers of Michigan right now have all the government resources they need. ... The only thing Congress is contributing to the Flint recovery is political grandstanding.” Stabenow, who worked with

Peters for weeks to secure Republican and Democratic cosponsors, expressed surprise that Lee has placed a hold on the measure, which effectively keeps the Senate from voting on it, even though it is fully paid for. “This bill doesn’t increase federal spending by one penny,” said Stabenow, adding that Lee is holding up legislation that could help communities across the country. Stabenow and Peters say federal funding is needed to replace aging pipes in Flint and other parts of the infrastructure to ensure public safety and restore confidence in the city’s water. The measure would authorize

the federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to make up to $100 million in grants between now and October 2017 “to any state that receives an emergency declaration ... to a public health threat from lead or other contaminants in a public drinking water system.” It also authorizes $70 million in subsidies that could be used to back more than $700 million in low-interest financing for water infrastructure projects through a new fund — some of which could be used in Flint — but which is intended to spark repairs and replacement of aging water systems across the U.S.

EXCLUDING FAMILIES HURTS PATIENTS v CONTINUED FROM 1B

the National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disability Directors. Some doctors refuse to listen to families such as the Angells, although doing so doesn’t violate HIPAA. Others exclude families even when patients themselves don’t object. While many people in the mental health community agree there’s a problem, advocates disagree about how to fix it. Three members of Congress — Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Calif., Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa. — have introduced legislation to educate health care providers about what HIPAA does and doesn’t permit. Tim Murphy, a child psychologist, wants to change the law itself, creating an exception to the privacy rule in cases in which the health of people with serious mental illness would suffer if families aren’t involved in their care. Opponents of Tim Murphy’s bill charge that it would trample on a patient’s privacy rights. Without the guarantee of confidentiality, some people with mental illness would avoid seeking treatment, says Jennifer Mathis, director of programs at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. Some say that the medical profession needs to undergo a cultural change so doctors are encouraged to reach out to the caregivers of people with serious mental illness, rather than shun them. The Angells say HIPAA denied them the chance to prevent a tragedy. When their son was discharged from the hospital, a doctor wrote him a prescription for low-cost pills instead of a more expensive injectable treatment, Chip Angell says. That was in spite of the fact that the young man had a long history of refusing to take pills and was “doing very well” on the injections, medical records show. Their son, a gifted tennis player with a 7-year-old daughter, sank into a deep depression as the effects of the injectable medication wore off. In April 2012, six weeks after being discharged from the hospital, he tried to kill himself by attaching a hose to the exhaust pipe of the family Volvo and filling the interior with deadly carbon monoxide gas. The car overheated and caught fire, with their son inside. Chris didn’t survive.

FAMILIES AS PILLARS OF CARE

Psychiatrists have a long history of keeping families at arm’s length, says Harvey Rosenthal, executive director of the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services. For much of the 20th century, many psychiatrists saw parents as the source of a patient’s problems.

“We’re all ambivalent about our families. Why wouldn’t someone with mental illness be ambivalent, too?” Lisa Dixon, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University (N.Y.) Medical Center

Yet today, a growing body of research demonstrates that families play a crucial role in recovery from serious mental illness, says Lisa Dixon, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. Family involvement is “extraordinarily important” for people with serious mental illness, says Dixon, who directs OnTrackNY, an intensive, early intervention for young people who experience psychosis for the first time. “Often, you have family members who are the first to notice that something is wrong, who are there to try to help their child and get their child into some sort of treatment.” A recent National Institutes of Health study, which focused on such early intervention, found that family education and support were key parts of a package of care. Young people who received this care had better quality of life and were more likely to return to work or school, according to a 2015 study published in the Amer-

In 2013, Gus brutally attacked his father before killing himself. ican Journal of Psychiatry. A British study found that family involvement can be lifesaving. Deaths from unnatural causes — such as suicide, drug abuse and injuries — were 90% lower among people with schizophrenia whose families were involved throughout their care, according to a study that followed more than 500 patients over 10 years, published last year in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. Families often provide food and housing for their loved ones, help them apply for work or school programs, drive them to appointments, pick up prescriptions and coordinate the care of countless doctors, nurses and social workers. When needed, families bail them out of jail. “When everybody else goes home, the families are the ones that step up and provide care,” says Ron Honberg, national director of policy and legal affairs at the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI. Many caregivers feel unprepared to help loved ones with serious mental illness, which can strike suddenly in adolescence or young adulthood. Many say they get little or no guidance from health providers. “I never really understood the illness,” says Creigh Deeds, a Virginia state senator whose 24-yearold son killed himself in 2013 after stabbing his father repeatedly. Deeds says health care providers refused to provide even shortterm guidance about what to do after his son was discharged from the hospital. “Twice, my son came home from hospitals to me,” Deeds says. “I was never given instructions. I was never given help. ... Without that information, I was wallowing in ignorance.”

FEAR OF LIABILITY

NAMI has long recognized that caregivers need help. Its Family to Family program educates people about the nature of mental illness and ways to provide support, Dixon says. Families who have a better understanding of their loved one’s condition can provide better care, she says. “Family members need information,” Dixon says. “They need to know how to help their child or loved one. They’re stressed out and anxious and terrified and guilt-ridden.” When in doubt, health providers tend to err on the side of withholding information, says Patrick Kennedy, a former Rhode Island congressman who advocates for better care of the mentally ill. Hospital administrators, accustomed to avoiding malpractice suits, have brought the same defensive approach to patient privacy, Kennedy says. “The medical community’s perception is that there’s a liability if they share any kind of information,” he says. Tracey Davis-Witmyer says health care providers have often refused to talk about her brother’s care, even when HIPAA allows it. The Reading, Pa., woman takes care of her 38-year-old brother, who has bipolar disorder and intellectual disabilities. Although he lives with her, her brother often wanders off. Once, he was missing for a week. Yet when Davis-Witmyer went to a local emergency room to search for him, hospital staff refused to even acknowledge whether he was there. They told her that confirming his presence in the hospital would have violated HIPAA. It would not have. “Doctors are afraid to say any-

they are for anyone else, to ensure that they get good treatment,” Mathis says. “If people don’t feel like they have privacy, they aren’t going to be forthcoming when they see a medical professional.” Policymakers have other ways to encourage doctors to engage families, according to Mathis. Hospitals and health insurers could require health providers to work with families as part of their contracts, she says. “That would do more than these bills in Congress, which eviscerate people’s privacy rights,” Mathis says. Some advocates for domestic violence victims also oppose the bills, arguing that they could allow abusers to gain access to a spouse’s mental health records. Although Tim Murphy’s bill states that health information may not be shared with someone who has a “documented history of abuse,” that may not be enough to protect domestic violence victims, according to a statement from the National Taskforce to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. The group notes that many abusers have no criminal record. Rep. Matsui, who aims to simply clarify HIPAA rather than change it, says she’s concerned that the exceptions to HIPAA included in Tim Murphy’s bill could create even more confusion. “If you give that list to a health provider, you are going to have more instances where people don’t share,” Matsui says. “Providers will say, ‘I can’t meet all these criteria.’ ” Changing HIPAA wouldn’t necessarily change the way doctors and hospitals act, says Mark Rothstein, a former adviser on health privacy to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He notes that many states have their own patient privacy laws. Columbia’s Dixon says she can usually persuade patients to include their families, in spite of these obstacles. People with mental illness are often willing to include their families in their care if doctors take the right approach, Dixon says. More than 90% of the patients in the OnTrackNY program she directs have agreed to allow contact with families, she says. “We’re all ambivalent about our families,” Dixon says. “Why wouldn’t someone with mental illness be ambivalent, too? If someone were to ask me, ‘Lisa, is it OK if I talk to your family members about your care?’ I would say, ‘It depends,’ ” Dixon says. “I might say, ‘I don’t want you talk to this family member, but this one is OK.’ ” If patients are reluctant to include their parents in care, Dixon asks them why. “We ask, ‘What are your concerns? Why would you not want your family involved in your care?’ Sometimes, they don’t want to be a burden.” With this approach, Dixon says, “it’s only the rare case who doesn’t give permission. And if you don’t get permission the first time, you ask again in a few weeks.” Yet family involvement is rare. Although early intervention programs like OnTrackNY routinely include families, those programs are the exception, not the rule. “We’re not anywhere close to where we need to be in this,” Dixon says. Lisa Powell says she wishes her son’s health care providers had worked harder to include her. Her son, Oscar Morlett, began acting differently just before he turned 19. He stopped seeing his friends; his speech became a jumble. At first, Powell assumed her son was using drugs and sent him to rehab. “I know how to deal with situations like that,” says Powell, of Orange County, Calif., who has other family members who suffer from addiction, “but this was beyond me.” Her son’s condition deteriorated; he became psychotic and sometimes threatened her with violence. Yet no one has ever told her his diagnosis, although he’s now 23, Powell says. There were even times when his health providers refused to tell Powell the time and date of his next mental health appointment, even though she was expected to drive him. Her son began to imagine his stepmother was a spy. On Aug. 9, 2013, Morlett was arrested and charged with killing her with an ax. After more than two years in jail in Orange County, a judge found him competent to stand trial in February, Powell says. “No one would listen to me,” says Powell, who visits her son in jail once a week. Because he has signed a waiver, health staff at the jail are now allowed to update her on his care. During one visit, Powell says her son was in despair over his mental illness, and what had become of his life. “He said, ‘Mom, I didn’t ask for this. Please pray for me.’ ”

Trump’s late push fails in Kansas v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Super Tuesday came and went, and the front-runners remain the same. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton rolled to victories, each picking up seven wins. Top news from the world of politics:

Chris Christie defended his support of Donald Trump.

CHRISTIE DENIES HE WAS A TRUMP HOSTAGE. REALLY New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has had a rough month. His own 2016 presidential hopes unraveled after a sixth-place finish in the New Hampshire primary. He later shocked the political world with an endorsement of Donald Trump. Super Tuesday itself brought a twin bill of brutal headlines for Christie. First, six newspapers from his home state — all Gannett-owned and part of the USA TODAY NETWORK — called on the governor to resign in a joint editorial. Later, Christie was mocked relentlessly on social media for his expressions as he stood behind Trump during the New York billionaire’s Super Tuesday night news conference. On Thursday, the New Jersey governor felt compelled to respond. “No, I was not being held hostage. No, I was not sitting up there thinking, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’ ” Christie said.

Saturday night he congratulated Cruz on his victories, and said he was enjoying the competition. “There is nothing so exciting as this stuff,” Trump said at a Florida news conference. He called on Rubio to drop out of the race, so he could face Cruz one-on-one. But neither he nor Kasich appears ready to do so. The Saturday contests — wedged between Super Tuesday voting earlier in the week and consequential battles later this month in Michigan, Ohio and Florida — did not garner the same hot spotlight, though Kansas voters showed up in force at caucus sites throughout the state. The state traditionally has not voted this early, and Saturday marked the first time a presidential nominee had been selected by caucus since 1984. Kentucky Sen.

VA hotline chief has record of dropped calls Some vets who need help get voice mail, records show Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

A former Air Force officer chosen to fix the VA’s problemplagued suicide hotline has been running other agency phone banks that have a poor record of service, dropping as many as one in four calls from veterans, according to internal data provided to USA TODAY. The deputy secretary for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Sloan Gibson, defended the choice of Matthew Eitutis overseeing the crisis hotline, telling USA TODAY on Friday that Eitutis has shown considerable initiative for one of the agency’s biggest challenges — just answering the phone. The crisis hotline (800-2738255), created in 2007 to deal with rising numbers of veterans threatening suicide, was acclaimed in an Oscar-winning documentary last year, but last month was revealed in an inspector general report to have allowed calls to go to voice mail. At a Senate hearing on Thursday, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., revealed that 30-year-old Army veteran Tom Young, who served in Iraq, committed suicide last July after failing to reach someone on the suicide hotline. Gibson announced in February that he was shifting management of the crisis line from medical offi-

cials to a VA business office run by Eitutis, 46, a retired Air Force major who has master’s degrees in public health and human resources, and has worked eight years for the VA. For the past two years, Eitutis has been in charge of the VA’s Health Resource Center, which operates centers that field hundreds of thousands of calls each day from veterans or family mem-

bers seeking information on issues such as benefits, co-payments or pharmacy information. In January, Eitutis was named acting director of an umbrella office called Member Services, which oversees the Health Resource Center and other units. Internal data on call center operations provided to USA TODAY by VA whistle-blower Scott Davis shows that in the 12 months prior to January, the phone banks at the Health Resource Center had a call “abandonment rate” of 26%. Abandonment rates reflect calls where veterans hang up, often because they’ve waited so long for an answer. The average wait time for an answer to a call into the Health Resource Center phone banks was between two to six

minutes during 2015, according to the data. “It shows that Mr. Eitutis’ office has a history of dropping calls from veterans,” said Davis, who works in the VA’s national enrollment center, which falls under Member Services. “I don’t know how someone can look at the performance of that operation and say, ‘This is a guy we should give a promotion to.’ ” But Gibson, who did not dispute the accuracy of the data, said that before Eitutis was placed in charge of the Health Resource Center and its phone banks, the VA wasn’t even sure how many calls it was missing. “One of the biggest challenges we have right now, and quite frankly it’s a low bar, is answering the phone,” Gibson said. He said the rapid growth of the number of veterans seeking medical care or benefits from the VA has overwhelmed such services. Gibson said that in the two years Eitutis ran the Health Resource Center, he expanded the number of phone lines so that the office was finally able to gauge how many calls it was missing, and he has since launched a program to expand staffing and reduce the number of abandoned calls to zero. Gibson said Eitutis also corrected problems at a smaller phone bank, the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans. The VA crisis line receives about 1,200 calls per day and saves about 35 lives per day of those who are threatening suicide, according to the agency.

Philippines holding N. Korean cargo ship Manila acts under U.N. sanctions; ship’s ownership unclear Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

The Philippines will impound a suspected North Korean cargo vessel docked at a port northwest of Manila and eventually deport its crew under terms of the tough new United Nations sanctions in response to Pyongyang’s recent nuclear and ballistic missile tests, a presidential spokesman said Saturday. Presidential Communications Undersecretary Manolo Quezon III said the U.N. sanctions would be applied to the 4,355-ton MV Jin Teng, which arrived Thursday at Subic Bay, a commercial port and former U.S. naval base. “The world is concerned over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program and as a member of the U.N., the Philippines has to do its part to enforce the sanctions,” Quezon told Philippine radio sta-

The North Korean cargo ship Jin Teng will not be allowed to leave the port in Subic Bay and its crew will be deported. tion Radyo ng Bayan. “Our obligation is essentially to impound the vessel and not allow it to leave port and that the crew must eventually be deported,” he said. A team from the U.N. could also come to inspect the ship, and the Philippine government will report to the U.N. on its actions after

holding the vessel, he added, according to the Philippines News Agency. It is the first known compliance with the U.N. Security Council sanctions, passed unanimously Wednesday, that aim to cripple the part of North Korea’s economy that fuels its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The resolution calls for mandatory inspections of cargo leaving and entering North Korea by sea or air, a ban on sales or transfers of small arms and light weapons to Pyongyang and the expulsion of diplomats who engage in “illicit activities.” Pyongyang is also banned from exporting most of the country’s natural resources, such as coal, which accounts for about $1 billion in annual income. On Friday, North Korea strongly condemned the new resolution, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency. It is the “worst and most explicit international criminal act that aims to isolate and stifle the defensive and just sovereign state,” a government spokesman said in a statement. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, for the second day in a row, said the country’s “nuclear warheads need to be ready for use at any time,” the North’s official Korea Central News Agency reported Friday. The vessel, with a crew of 21, is among 31 ships listed as North Korean-owned that could be held

under an “assets freeze” order, Philippine Foreign Assistant Secretary Gary Domingo said, according to the Associated Press. Philippine Coast Guard regional commander Raul Belesario, however, told the AP that the ship’s papers show that it’s a Sierra Leone-flagged ship owned by a company based in the British Virgin Islands and managed by a firm in China’s Shandong province. “On paper, it’s not North Korean,” he said. Belesario said he had not received any government order to impound the ship by Saturday afternoon, but that he would do so if instructed by the government. The vessel needs to stay at Subic for about two to three more days to unload a cargo of palm kernel expeller, which could be used as farm animal feed, he said. The North Korean crewmen have not been restricted since they arrived and showed their travel papers, Belesario told the AP, adding there were no available records to check whether the Jin Teng has traveled to North Korea in the past.

Living out their lives with leprosy After decades at hospital in Sri Lanka, patients could leave at any time ... but have nowhere to go Ross Velton

Special for USA TODAY

HENDALA, Sri Lanka — Vithana Gunathilake’s motto is tattooed across his chest. The ink faded during his years here, but he still believes in the message: Do or Die. To prove it, he cradles a harmonica with his damaged hands and starts playing. For seven decades, his home has been the Hendala Leprosy Hospital near Sri Lanka’s capital of Colombo. When he and the nearly 40 other patients here eventually die, the leprosy hospital will close for good. Until then, it serves as a sanctuary for aging men and women with nowhere else to go. “I’ll be here until my death,” said Gunathilake’s friend, Abdul Hassaan, 59. He has four children, but they don’t visit. “For this disease, they are very frightened,” he said, pointing to where his leg used to be. Most patients at Hendala have similar stories of being abandoned by their families after leprosy ruined their bodies. The disease damages nerves, skin, limbs and eyes. Most people are naturally immune to the leprosy bacteria. And even if caught, the slow-growing germ can take years to cause symptoms. Hassaan’s leg was amputated after an infection. The fingers on his left hand are mostly stumps, and he can’t see very well. Hassaan chose to remain at Hendala the past 20 years to live with people who understood the way he looks, rather than fear him. He found a girlfriend in one of the female wards. “I’m living very happily. I never think about my previous life,” he said. Hendala at first was more like a prison than a sanctuary. “If we ran away, the police would catch us and bring us back,” recalled Edward Alwis, 87, the hospital’s oldest patient. He remembers being locked onto an ox cart and packed off to the facility in 1943, at age 14. “You were a non-person, not beloved by God,” said historian Lodewijk Wagenaar about the public’s attitude toward leprosy when Hendala opened in 1708, when the Dutch controlled Sri Lanka. In biblical times leprosy was seen as curse, and those with the disease historically were treated as outcasts. Hospitals like Hendala, also known as leprosariums and colonies, functioned like small villages. Hendala had a school, prison and post office in the mid-1900s, when many of the current residents were admitted. Fewer leprosy hospitals exist today because there’s not much need for them. If the disease is caught early enough — discolored patches and sores on the skin are early signs — a multidrug therapy developed in the 1980s with three antibiotics can usually cure leprosy in six to 12 months, although any deformities are permanent. In the last 50 years or so, Hendala’s population has dropped from several hundred to the few patients who remain. Only a handful of patients are left at Sri Lanka’s other leprosy hospital,

on Manthivu Island on the east coast, which opened in the 1920s or ’30s. Sri Lanka officially eliminated leprosy in 1995, when the rate was reduced to one in 10,000 people. However there are still about 2,000 new cases a year. In February, the Sri Lankan health minister announced that more resources would be spent on fighting leprosy and HIV/ AIDS. The world sees about 200,000 new leprosy cases a year, most in India, elsewhere in Asia and Africa. A few people are still diagnosed in Europe and North America, and leprosy hospitals remain in Hawaii, Romania and elsewhere. No one at Hendala is still infectious, and no new patients are admitted here or at Manthivu Island. Leprosy today is treated at dermatology clinics and regular hospitals. “Now we don’t see such a great stigma in the community,” said Nilanthi Fernando, a physician and director of the Anti-Leprosy

Campaign in Sri Lanka. Many of Hendala’s patients were able to return to their communities after treatment, and attitudes toward leprosy changed in much of Sri Lanka after an awareness campaign in the early 1990s. Fernando admits that some people today are still frightened to say they have leprosy. The patients at Hendala can leave whenever they want, but few do. “They’re in their late 70s or 80s, and most of their relations are dead,” said Marina Joy Sabanathan, 73, a retired physician who worked at Hendala in the 1970s. The patients Sabanathan remembers from decades ago were skilled gardeners and carpenters

who crafted furniture to sell. She bought a piece herself. “They always felt they could be like anyone else,” she said. That do-or-die attitude still exists, although as the patients grow older, there’s less activity. Gunathilake plays his harmonica in the hospital band. The women who still have fingers sew and knit. Patients have married one another. Despite Sri Lanka’s progress in fighting leprosy, the community that developed at Hendala has become a symbol of the stigma long associated with the disease. Sabanathan’s time at Hendala inspired her to volunteer with the Leprosy Mission England & Wales, a British charity working in Jaffna, in northern Sri Lanka. Leprosy in that region has been a growing concern since a 26-year armed conflict ended in 2009. “Because of the war, people were on the run all the time. Nobody bothered about the patches (on their skin),” Sabanathan said. When displaced people returned home after the war, they had a chance to go to a hospital to be diagnosed. “Leprosy people still think they’re sent to Manthivu Island and Hendala,” said Joshua Sivagnanam of Kaveri Kala Manram, which organizes theater performances in Jaffna to explain why leprosy should not be stigmatized. Many children watch the performances — a good target since 10% of Sri Lanka’s new leprosy cases are in children under 15. When youngsters are diagnosed, it’s a sign more adults might also have the disease. Sri Lanka’s new generation has a better chance of fighting leprosy than those living at Hendala. “We will get rid of leprosy!” the young theater audience shouts after each show. The words could be tattooed across Gunathilake’s chest. This report was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SPRING The arrival of spring frees homeowners to go outside — and check houses that may have been ravaged by winter. Here’s where to get started on your spring preparation duties. You can handle simple changes, but hire a reputable contractor for major inspection and repairs, or do them yourself and save money if you’re handy with tools.

OUTDOOR

INDOOR

Roof Look for any inconsistency in the continuity of shingles. Check flashing and areas where roof sealant has been applied. Broken or missing shingles need repair. Professional roofers may be best. Cost: $100 and up, depending on size of damaged area

Attic Inspect the ridge vents and your attic fan for signs of damage or for debris blocking airflow that might contribute to the attic becoming too hot.

Gutters Clean gutters and downspouts of any debris, while inspecting the integrity of the gutter system and making sure water is directed away from the home foundation and that there are no clogs or leaks. Cost: $90-$250 for a contractor

Ceiling fans Change the direction of your ceiling fans so as to blow air down to help cool rooms.

Windows and doors Check wood trim for signs of rot and replace if necessary. Apply caulking if trim has separated from the frame. Check insulation around window and door frames, replacing weather stripping as needed. Cost: $3-$6 per tube of caulk

Fire protection Inspect fire extinguishers, making sure they are ready for use, and test smoke and carbon dioxide alarms monthly, replacing batteries if necessary. Dryer and vents Clean and inspect dryer vents from the back of the dryer to the outside exhaust using a professional service or do-it-yourself kits.

Walls and deck Examine siding and deck surfaces for damage and for dirt and mold. Powerwash when the weather is appropriate.

HVAC Have a trained technician examine your unit and do a tune-up so your unit is ready for the warm season ahead.

Faucets Inspect faucets, making sure they are sealed and that water flow and pressure are normal.

Lights Check bulbs in light fixtures and replace inefficient incandescent bulbs with energy-saving varieties.

Lawn Clear debris and leaves from gardens and landscaping. Remove dead trees and limbs.

Programmable thermostat This device saves money by giving you better control over inside temperatures. Cost: $20-$250 Electrical outlets Check outlets and extension cords for loose-fitting plugs. Inspect the fuse box for irregularities.

Water Check the foundation for pooling water. If necessary, regrade the ground so water flows away from the basement.

Stone and concrete Power-wash your brick and stone driveway and walkways. If they are broken, cracked or uneven, have them repaired. Cost: $40 to $70 per day to rent power washer

SPRING CLEANING Mapping out a plan or checklist is key to helping you stay on task. Clean each room from top down, moving from one side of the room to the other to avoid cleaning the same area twice. Tips for the entire house:

Furnace Clean or change the filter in your furnace. Disposable filters should be replaced according to manufacturer’s specifications.

EVERY ROOM Dust ceiling fans, artwork, knickknacks and vents. Clean window treatments and screens. Vacuum and clean baseboards with warm, soapy water. Wipe down walls to remove dirt and fingerprints. Vacuum, polish or clean upholstered furniture. Vacuum and shampoo carpets and rugs. Sweep and mop floors.

Water Inspect the outside of the water heater for leaks and corrosion. Drain a few gallons of water, according to manufacturer’s recommendations, to flush corrosion from inside the bottom of the unit.

KITCHEN Clean the interior and exterior of the oven, refrigerator and small appliances. Run dishwasher empty with a manufacturer’s approved dishwasher cleaner. Wipe down tables, countertops and cabinets with a clean, damp cloth. Organize the pantry, discarding outdated food items.

BATHROOMS Scrub the sink, shower and toilet. Wipe down fixtures and clean mirrors. Inspect shower liner and replace if necessary.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE STAPLES HAS ‘PLAN B’ uIn a nutshell: Even as Staples prepares to go it alone, the office supplies retailer says it still hopes to prevail in a government lawsuit aimed at blocking its takeover of rival Office Depot. uThe upshot: “We’ve been working on Plan B for several months at this point,” CEO Ron Sargent told analysts Friday, though he didn’t say how it might differ from Staples’ existing plan to close stores and expand its customer base. uThe lowdown: The assessment came after Staples reported fourth-quarter results that missed management’s expectations, according to a post in The Wall Street Journal. The company’s retail sales in North America dropped 5%, excluding newly opened and closed stores, as fewer shoppers visited its bigbox stores. The chain has more than 1,900 locations worldwide.

BEACH Spanning the length of four football fields and rising 20 stories, the giant container ship that tied up here is an awe-inspiring sight. The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin — the name seems as long as the ship — is one of a new breed. Container ships are growing ever larger, testing not only the limits of naval architecture but the infrastructure of the ports at which they would call. American ports are scrambling to dredge channels and raise container cranes as they vie to handle these new ships. Shipping line CMA CGM has been sending the Franklin, the pride of its fleet, to various West Coast ports to send the message that the largest of container ships are on the way and that now is the time to invest whatever it takes to accommodate them. In Long Beach, officials say they will have three berths in coming months big enough to handle container superships. But it’s still a struggle. The Franklin was stacked eight containers high, two layers short of capacity, because the terminal’s cranes haven’t yet been raised. This port has already scraped channels deeper and is raising a key bridge by 45 feet — at a cost of $1 billion. “If there was any doubt we are big-ship ready, that ship puts that debate to rest,” said Lori Ann Guzman, president of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, with the Franklin looming over her shoulder. Other ports are making the same claim. The port of Miami, under the banner “big ships welLONG

come,” said last year that it is spending more than $1 billion raising cranes and dredging. Charleston, S.C., has its own dredging project. Port officials see it as a matter of necessity as nowadays larger container ships rule the waves. The Franklin, as wide as a 12lane highway, totes the equivalent of 18,000 20-foot containers. Those boxes haul everything from toys and tires from China to electronics and wine from Europe. At a port, they are transferred to train cars or the backs of trucks, headed from both American coasts into the heartland to restock mass-market stores like Walmart. The move to larger ships is a matter of efficiency. The Franklin’s diesels produce thrust equal to that from 11 Boeing 747 jetliners, yet due to their enormous capacity, they burn less fuel per container shipped than smaller vessels do. The 1,306-foot ship — longer than any U.S. air-

craft carrier — is crewed by fewer than 30. “We see these types of vessels as the future of shipping,” says Marc Bourdon, president of CMA CGM America. “The whole purpose around these larger vessels is economies of scale.” Shipping lines scour the world in their quest for hyper-efficiency and the best price. Though named for an American founding father, the Franklin is owned by a French shipping company, was built in China, cruises under a British flag and is crewed mostly by Filipinos working under a Croatian captain. They have no choice. The world’s container fleet is expected to grow another 4.6% this year and by about the same amount in 2017, says a new report from AlixPartners, an advisory firm. Yet shipping rates have dropped due to overcapacity and lower demand. Shipping companies are dealing by using tactics like “slow steaming,” in which vessels travel slower to save fuel. The companies are also consolidating. Ships the size of the Franklin, the largest in the industry, represent the fastest-growing segment of the global container fleet, AlixPartners says. “The arrival of such vessels exacerbates supply-and-demand imbalances on major trade routes,” the report says. “Only the largest and most sophisticated ports, located mainly in Asia and Europe, can serve these mammoth vessels with any frequency.” Long Beach hopes to be among them. But officials know they can’t be complacent. The Franklin had already called at its adjacent rival, the Port of Los Angeles. And Seattle was next. “We are ready,” proclaimed Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia.

Software security no longer a job just for IT John Shinal

SAN

FRANCISCO

With the securitysoftware industry packed into Moscone Center here last week for its biggest annual gathering, the RSA conference, a slew of interviews made one thing clear: The white hats have come out of the wiring closet. Products that protect corporate networks, once purchased by IT workers toiling among basement cables and glowing screens, are now sold to CIOs or CISOs (chief information security officers) in posh conference and hotel rooms, security executives say. After waves of devastating cyberattacks have lost valuable data, angered tens of millions of customers and cost billions in losses, responsibility for network

security now rests close to the top at more companies. “It’s no longer up to the IT guys,” says Tom Patterson, vice president for global solutions at Unisys, the corporate software giant based in Blue Bell, Pa. “It’s now a business issue,” and one that has the attention of the corner office and the boardroom. Unisys was here selling its latest product, STEALTH, which layers over the top of cloud networks and helps fight cyber crime by secretly walling off malicious code after it gets into a network. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch gave the keynote to a audience. standing-room-only With the most powerful lawyer in the land attending its confab, the security-technology sector has clearly arrived on the big stage. Blame the smartphone and the black hats. As handheld devices have proliferated among U.S. workers, connecting them to a network that can be 100% secured has become a near-impossible task. “With every device you put on the network, you increase the at-

The company, founded in 2004, has 94 employees and 220 clients. It’s just one of dozens of security-software start-ups pursuing a market that was expected to reach between $75 billion and $80 billion last year, according to a report from industry researcher Gartner last September.

Yet huge attacks still happen regularly, and losses from cyber crime are forecast to top $1 trillion before the end of the decade. The cyber-crime threat is creating new benchmarks for measuring how well networks are protected, including the concept of a “digital resilience score,” says Rothrock, a longtime venture capital investor who sits on the board of Check Point Software. A growing number of CEOs

RedSeal sells to are using such scores — like a FICO score for your network — to rank their security. For those responsible for end-user security, when they do their job well, nobody notices. And yet the good guys, aka the white hats, have wins, too. One is the widespread use of so-called domain-name security software that protects websites and the consumers who visit them. “Domain security is one of the security success stories of the last 10 years,” says Ryan Lackey, who heads product security at CloudFlare, a San Francisco start-up. CloudFlare sells software that prevents attackers from fooling a domain-name server into thinking a network-access request is coming from inside a firewall, an increasingly common attack method. “White hats are just as good, but the black hats get more press,” says Unisys’ Patterson. Maybe no longer. Shinal has covered tech and financial markets for more than 15 years at Bloomberg, BusinessWeek and others.

AVOID SMARTPHONE SHAME AT WORK:

KEEP IT OUT OF SIGHT If you’ve been caught texting at a meeting, you might have a problem. Here’s how to handle your device at the office.

BESIDES POSSIBLY BEING RUDE, WHEN YOU PULL YOUR PHONE OUT AT A MEETING, YOU ARE SHOWING THAT THE DEVICE IS CONTROLLING YOU.

Fergus Mellon

Special for USA TODAY

was an addict. In 2007, I was lucky enough to have the firstgeneration iPhone, and I loved it from almost the word go. I had been comfortable with this addiction. It seemed harmless to me, just like one too many coffees. That was until an intervention in 2011 when a manager said I should cut back on email. This did change my relationship with my smartphone as I rationed my use. So, how should we manage our smartphones? First, we should own them and not the other way around. Yes, just because someone can contact us pretty much 24/7 it does not mean that we should be on our devices 24/7. When in meetings, especially those with clients, our phones should stay out of sight. A CEO I was talking to explained that at his company he has set up a rule that no one brings their phones out in internal meetings unless there is a truly life-or-death situation. In addition, this very busy professional explained that when he goes to business lunches his phone stays firmly where it belongs: out of sight. The reason the CEO gave me was that if you pull your phone out at the meeting, you are essentially showing that you are not the most important person there, but instead are giving power to your phone and showing that the device is controlling you. THE POWER OF REFRESH

Since my smartphone intervention, I have learned that being a servant to my device hurts rather than helps me. I used to spend my evening constantly checking email and getting no time to unwind from the day, and so I would go into the next busy day fatigued by disturbed sleep. So what do I do? Unless there is a mega-highpriority project, I stop checking

email at 10 p.m. This lets me really unwind and focus on what I should be doing: getting a good night’s sleep so I can perform in the office the next day. In addition, during the weekend, I force myself to take a break. Although sometimes I ignore my rules (again, there can be very urgent projects). I limit myself to checking email three times: morning, noon and night. This ensures that I can keep up with any developments while also getting time for my hobbies, errands and general weekend refresh. LIMIT MULTITASKING

Multitasking is a myth. Limit the distractions of email and instant messaging during meetings. This extends beyond your phone to your laptop. Take your laptop to a meeting only if that is where you take your meeting notes and you are certain you will not get distracted. The motivations for keeping the distractions at a minimum are that you won’t appear rude by ignoring someone’s contribution and you won’t miss important parts of the meeting. Remember, a genuine crisis is rare, and the little things that might pull you away are probably things that the members of your team should be dealing with anyway. So, by being less tethered to your device, you will help members of your team to “step up” to take on those responsibilities. That will raise their skill level and morale, because you will not be dealing with the daily “fires.” They will. You will also benefit from lower stress levels as you will be pulled in fewer directions. While this may seem counter to the way many of us operate in the workplace (we love to be in control), keep in mind the advice from Stephen Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. To paraphrase, avoid the urgent but unimportant. I know all of this is easier said than done with these seemingly innocuous devices, but we should take steps to tame our addiction before it owns us.

CONTROL YOUR DEVICE. DO NOT LET IT CONTROL YOU!

uAt meetings and business lunches keep your phone where it belongs: out of sight. You (or whoever called the meeting) should be the center of attention. uMute your phone during office hours. uDo not IM in a meeting. If you get caught having a “meeting within a meeting” you will look unprofessional and potentially untrustworthy (are you “talking” behind someone else’s back?). uEstablish smartphonefree hours during the workweek and the weekend to get a break from work. Limit your “email check” to three times per day: morning, noon and night.

PETE THE PLANNER

Widow has a $1.2M life insurance ‘problem’

DEAR PETE: My husband just passed away at 43. I’m not quite sure what to do with the life insurance money I received. We have a $250,000 mortgage, two kids under age 12, and we don’t have much money in our retirement accounts. We have close to nothing saved for college. He had $1.2 million of life insurance, but I have no idea what to do with it. I’m terrified by the idea that I would waste it. If I’m being honest, I tend to blow through money. I’m probably the reason why we haven’t done a better job of saving, and now I’m the one left to make these decisions. How do I not make an awful mistake? He’s been gone for three months, and the pressure is building to start making some decisions. — ELIZABETH

Peter Dunn Special for USA TODAY

DEAR ELIZABETH: At the root

level, life insurance is meant to provide flexibility. It allows you to catch your breath, fund incidental expenses related to your husband’s death and take the pressure off of an already stressful time. Fortunately, the life insurance money appears to have done just that. But as your gut appears to be telling you, it’s time to start employing a more permanent strategy. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to move forward without a permanent strategy. Sadly, in times of unthinkable grief, financial mistakes often are made. That’s the nature of receiving a life insurance payout. Immediately after the worst moment of your life, your accounts were flooded with money. It’s a strange problem, but a problem nonetheless. It’s not unusual for a widow or widower to simply bleed down the account over time, because they didn’t know what else to do. This mistake certainly is not purposeful, but it definitely is permanent. TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

There are two primary paths you

can take. You can either eliminate your expenses, or you could create an income stream to replace your husband’s income. I think most people’s gut instinct is to just pay off their debts. There are no sweeping rules of thumb like “you should pay off your mortgage.” Eliminating debt can bring relief to a stressful situation, but the consumption of this power capital can create unintended consequences. If you’re worried about how you’d react to the increased cash flow that would come with eliminating your mortgage, then don’t pay it off. MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS

You could calculate the optimal way to leverage the assets to create the perfect financial plan. But making a decision based solely on numbers could make things worse. You need to take the time to understand your behavior and tendencies, and then make your decision based on that. Because you struggle with spending issues, you need to take that into account. If you were to create an income stream off of the death benefit, a quality investment adviser should be able to yield you no less than 3%, often tax-free. Therefore, $1.2 million would generate at least $36,000 of taxfree income annually. That $3,000 monthly could be used to pay your mortgage or whatever other bills you have. All the

while, your principal is relatively safe and secure. You will be able to pay off your mortgage over time with the income, and ideally still have the $1.2 million for retirement, too. SOCIAL SECURITY CAN HELP

One last note: Be sure to contact the Social Security administration and file for survivor benefits for your children. Young widows and widowers often forget to file for Social Security benefits on behalf of their children. Since your children are younger than 18, they can receive monthly benefits based on your husband’s average lifetime earnings. The benefits can be substantial and are a great way to fund a college education in the face of tough circumstances. This is especially important in your situation because you’re unlikely to receive student financial aid, based on the amount of nonretirement assets you now have. If you play your cards right, you will be able to handle your monthly bills with the income you generate off of the death benefit, fund your kids’ education with Social Security survivor benefits and fund your retirement. And if you haven’t already, take the time to meet with a financial adviser or two. They will be able to do the math and calm your anxiety.

Sadly, in times of grief, financial mistakes often are made. That’s the nature of receiving a life insurance payout.

‘Old’ Ellis wins in finale By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Perry Ellis has heard all the jokes, read all the posts on Twitter about how he looks older than he is and how long he has been a member of Kansas University’s basketball team. “So many people say I’ve been here forever, and, you know, they’re right. I got a chance to play with Wilt

Chamberlain and Danny Manning,” the 22-year-old KU senior said in his Senior Day speech that followed his stellar 22-point, sevenrebound outing Saturday in an 85-78 victory over Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse. “Since I supposedly have unlimited eligibility, why don’t I just come back next year?” Ellis added to a thunderous ovation from 16,300 fans.

That’d obviously be great for KU, not so much the other teams in the league who Saturday saw Ellis add another wrinkle to his game — floor burns.

Free State falls just short in finals By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Wichita — When the final buzzer sounded in the sub-state finals on Saturday, Free State boys basketball players dropped their heads on their walk to the sideline, and Wichita Southeast coach Melvin Herring shed tears of joy. For the Golden Buffaloes, it was an instant classic to talk about for years. On the other side, the Firebirds will

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because the Chiefs aren’t allowed to discuss contract matters. Hali had four voidable years added to his one-year contract so that the team could spread out his signing bonus, thereby creating additional salary-cap space last offseason. But the contract also stipulated the Chiefs had until Friday to sign Hali to an extension, otherwise he would become a free agent. Despite dealing with a bothersome knee much of last season, Hali had 61⁄2 sacks and was voted to his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl.

Texas ends season for KU women J-W Staff and Wire Reports

Oklahoma City — Kansas University’s women’s basketball season ended with a 66-50 loss to sixthranked Texas in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals Saturday night in Chesapeake Energy Arena. The loss came one night after KU defeated TCU to end its 20-game losing streak. The Jayhawks finished 6-25. “I would say that the last three weeks we’ve gotten a lot better,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said, “and it just hasn’t culminated in some wins. We played Oklahoma at our place really tight, ended up being a sixpoint ballgame. Missed three free throws at TCU with a chance to win that ballgame. As I did last night, I just credit our players for continuing to work so hard, and I just think we’re a team that was, obviously … we’re the youngest team in the country. But we continue to get a lot better, and we were able to see some of the fruits of our labor here, you know, at the conference tournament.” Celina Rodrigo scored 13 points to lead Texas.

Ariel Atkins scored 11 points, and Brooke McCarty added 10 for the Longhorns (27-3), who were coming off a loss to Baylor in the regular-season finale that cost them a share of the conference regular-season title. “Our players and staff are extremely proud

of the year we’ve had,” Texas coach Karen Aston said. “I think they understand how to sort of push the reset button in tournament play. So it’s sort of like — it’s over. Whatever we did, it’s over, whether it was good, bad or ugly, it’s over.” The Jayhawks stayed

close for much of Saturday’s game. Lauren Aldridge scored 12 points, and Aisia Robertson added 10 points and nine rebounds for Kansas. Schneider said the improved play the past two games gave him hope. “My enthusiasm for what I think we can do at

the University of Kansas with our women’s basketball program has never wavered,” Schneider said. “We played with a roster that we inherited, and we played extremely tough all year long. And I think we have a really bright future.” The Longhorns advanced to play West Virginia in the semifinals today. It was second-seeded Texas’ eighth consecutive win over the Jayhawks. Texas was sluggish early and led just 12-9 after a quarter. The Longhorns shot just 5-for-13 in the opening 10 minutes. Kansas hung tough through much of the second quarter and trailed just 24-22 before the Longhorns closed the half with a 6-0 run to take a 30-22 advantage. Texas led 45-37 after three quarters, then opened the fourth quarter with a three-pointer by McCarty, a steal and layup by Lashann Higgs and a pair of free throws by Atkins to go up 52-37. The Longhorns made seven of 12 shots in the final period to put the game out of reach.

KU spring football opens with questions By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Today marks the first spring practice of the second season of Kansas University football led by David Beaty. And while there are many areas that must be addressed if the Jayhawks hope to make Year Two more enjoyable than Beaty’s winless debut in 2015, there are a few aspects of the program that will be under the spotlight this spring. Here are six such spring story lines that Beaty and company hope will set the foundation for a more successful 2016. 1. Quarterback race — With the news of Ryan Willis’ wrist injury just

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Instead, the Firebirds were pained about the opportunity that slipped away, ending the season with a 15-7 record. Free State coach Sam Stroh called it “the hardest loss I’ve ever had.” “It’s really painful,” said FSHS senior Kristian Rawls, who had 18 points and four assists. “These are my brothers. It just really hurts knowing I’ll never play with them again. I mean, we just have to execute better down the stretch. That’s kind of been our problem all year.” With 25.7 seconds remaining in regulation, the Firebirds were up by four points following two free throws by senior Hunter Gudde. Wichita Southeast’s standout senior point guard, Jerrick

to be remembered. We’re going for first.” The Lions (20-2) weren’t about to be denied a return trip to Wichita. They turned up the heat on the Cougars (9-13) from the start and took leads of 13-5 after the first quarter, 31-15 at the half and 50-26 heading into the fourth period.

will be interesting to get a first look at the different coaching styles, how they interact with the players and how they operate under Beaty. 6. Kicking game status — Will this be the season when KU finally gets some consistency from its kicking game again? Senior Matthew Wyman, who has handled all three roles (kickoff, field goal, punt) in various capacities during the past few seasons, is the most wellknown returner of the bunch. But junior place kicker Nick Bartolotta also returns and newcomer Quinton Conaway, a freshman walk-on who started his career with the Oregon Ducks should provide stiff competition.

surfacing, this becomes a loaded category. Not only is it worth a look to see how 2015 starter Willis shows up as a sophomore with a little experience and a lot of expectations, but there are also the questions of who will back him up and what the coaching staff will do with Montell Cozart, who opened both 2014 and 2015 as the starting QB but did not finish either season in that same role. With Willis limited, Cozart, red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley and returning senior Deondre Ford all will get the chance to take meaingful reps this month. 2. Physical transformation? — You might be getting tired of hearing

this question and reading the answer, but, based off everything I’ve heard this offseason, it’s a question you want to pay attention to this spring. Multiple people close to the program told me that the job strength coach Je’Ney Jackson did this winter was second-to-none and Beaty’s bunch now looks much more physical and plays with more explosion. We’ll see some of that this spring 3. Calling all leaders — With former defensive lineman Ben Goodman out of eligibility, leadership becomes an area worth watching. Safety Fish Smithson and Cozart both served alongside Goodman as team captains in 2015, but you

have to think at least one or two other players will emerge as leadership material. My money’s on junior linebacker Joe Dineen and sophomore D-End Dorance Armstrong on D and junior tight end Ben Johnson and Willis on offense. 4. Transfers and newcomers — Players people don’t know much about or haven’t seen always excite and the Jayhawks have a handful this spring. Defensive tackles Isi Holani and DeeIsaac Davis along with cornerback Stephan Robinson transferred in at semester and all three are likely to play key roles this fall. Add to that the eligibility of wideout LaQuivionte Gonzalez, the addition

of walk-on wide receiver Keegan Brewer and the arrival of former 2015 prospects Cam Durley (OL) and Shola Ayinde (DB) and you’re looking at a team with some intriguing new pieces. 5. Hey, coach — Five new full-time assistants — Jason Phillips (WR), Todd Bradford (LB), Joe DeForest (ST), Michael Slater (DL) and Tony Hull (RB) — will be on the practice field for the Jayhawks today, which means there will be more newcomers on the coaching staff than returners. Their roles and success during spring practices will not be nearly as vital as what they will be in August and throughout the 2016 season, but it still

Harding, answered with a layup, and the Firebirds turned the ball over with 10 seconds left trying to add an open layup to the scoreboard. With Free State up by two, Harding went coastto-coast for a game-tying layup with less than three seconds remaining, weaving around a double-team from Free State junior Jacob Pavlyak and senior Kristian Rawls for a shot from the left block. “I just knew I had to attack and make a play,” Harding said. “I’m a senior, and I know I have to lead by example. I just looked to make a play.” In overtime, the secondseeded Golden Buffaloes (18-4) scored on their first two possessions — a three from sophomore Israel Barnes and a layup by Harding — and held off the Firebirds for the final three minutes. Harding, a three-time City League scoring champion, scored a game-

high 37 points on 20 shots, but said he couldn’t find many driving lanes because of Free State’s help defense, along with tight coverage from Pavlyak. Barnes added 27 points and seven rebounds despite being face-guarded for the majority of the contest by Free State junior Jay Dineen. “We wanted them to earn their points and they definitely earned it with some of the shots they made,” Stroh said. “But our guys, we battled and it was tough. I thought we outplayed them. I don’t want to take any credit away from (Southeast), but I told our guys, ‘That was our best game of the season.’ It’s tough to say that when you lose.” The Firebirds were locked in from the start, scoring on 11 of their 15 possessions in the first quarter without a turnover. They controlled the tempo against Southeast, which runs the floor like

it’s a 100-meter dash and fires up shots like the ball is a hot potato. Senior forward Chrision Wilburn, who scored the game-winner at the buzzer in the sub-state opener, completed a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. “I just think we have a lot of guys on our team that are really determined to win,” said Gudde, who had 18 points and eight rebounds. “Just coming out there and thinking if we don’t win this game, it’s our last game of the year, I think that just really set the tone at the beginning of the game until the end.” After Free State led by as many as 10 points in the second quarter, the Golden Buffaloes went on a 9-2 run to end the first half, including eight points in less than two minutes by Harding. The schools traded leads eight times in the second half, until Free

State nearly pulled away early in the fourth quarter. Dineen converted on a layup-and-the-foul bucket on a baseline drive, Rawls made two free throws, and Gudde found Wilburn for a layup, holding a four-point lead. But the Golden Buffaloes found new life by forcing overtime and made enough plays down the stretch to rip the game away from the Firebirds. FREE STATE (77) Kristian Rawls 7-12 3-4 18, Chrision Wilburn 8-10 5-9 21, Jay Dineen 3-8 1-1 7, Jacob Pavlyak 2-7 0-2 4, Hunter Gudde 4-12 9-10 18, Drew Tochtrop 0-1 2-2 2, Darian Lewis 1-1 2-2 4, Shannon Cordes 0-3 1-2 1, Garrett Luinstra 0-0 0-0 0, Sloan Thomsen 1-3 0-0 2.

Fouled out: Franklin, Brown. Turnovers: Free State 12, Wichita Southeast 9.

The Lions defended aggressively, consistently forced turnovers and dominated the boards. Not only that, they had a blast doing it. Senior Fred Brou (10 points) threw down a pair of onehanded dunks in the third quarter, one directly over a defender who was whistled for a foul on the play. “That amps me up,” Harvey said, “especially when he dunks on a kid, gets an and-one, and then he makes the free throw. I want to see the

film of everyone’s reaction, because I believe even coach (Mike) Lewis smiled after that one.” Harvey triggered plenty of smiles in The Jungle as well when he punctuated a baseline drive with a Derek Rose Euro-step reverse layup coming out of a timeout after the Cougars had trimmed their deficit from 26 points to 18 early in the fourth quarter, thanks to hot shooting from Ottawa University-bound senior Ferdinand Handy.

“I saw the reverse was there, it’s the last game at home, so I might as well get the crowd on its feet,” Harvey said. He did. LHS was able to execute the blowout despite not getting a strong shooting night from Toledo-bound point guard Justin Roberts, a fouryear starter who scored 10 points.

Niang proud to stoke KU-ISU rivalry By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One of the toughest competitors to come through Allen Fieldhouse during the past four years, Iowa State forward Georges Niang got one final crack at leaving Lawrence with a win Saturday but came away with his fourth loss in four tries, an 85-78 grinder that went to No. 1 Kansas University. From the time he stepped into the famed fieldhouse as a wide-eyed freshman in 2013 to Saturday afternoon, when all of Niang’s crafty skills

and veteran moves were on full display, it was always apparent that playing Kansas in Lawrence meant something to Niang. So as the senior, who likely is a lock to earn All-Big 12 honors this season, sat in the Allen Fieldhouse media room one final time, he was asked what he would remember most about playing in Lawrence. “Probably that annoying song they sing at the end,” Niang began. “That’s one thing I’ll for sure remember. But, nah, just the competitive rivalry. Before I got here,

people said there wasn’t really one, and during my four years here, I think it’s turned into one, so I’ll definitely remember that for sure.” Competitive was probably the best way to describe Saturday’s Kansas victory, which featured both teams building decent leads and the two squads being separated by just a point heading into the final three minutes. Niang, who finished with 22 points, a dozen coming in a foul-plagued first half, had a lot to do with that as he looked next to unstoppable at

times during the first 20 minutes. But after picking up his second foul midway through the first half, Niang sat for the final nine minutes of the half. “I thought about (putting him back in),” ISU coach Steve Prohm said. “And maybe playing zone, but as long as the game was within reach, I wasn’t gonna risk it.” The pine time, no doubt, hurt Niang’s production, but ISU entered the half trailing by just a point. The second half played out just like Niang said he would remember his treks to Allen Fieldhouse.

Clutch shots, all-out hustle and crucial moments on both ends of the floor decided this one. In Lawrence, players who put up big games in KU’s home gym are remembered forever. Buddy Hield’s 46-point outburst earlier this season will be talked about for a while. Missouri’s Anthony Peeler had a couple of huge games in the old Big Eight days. Oklahoma State’s Randy Rutherford went off for 45 in a losing effort in 1995. And even the name of Nevada’s Nick Fazekas is still thrown around from time to time. But those were one-

time things. Niang left Allen Fieldhouse with career averages of 21 points, six rebounds and four assists per game in 33 minutes. Like Hield earlier this season, Niang was escorted off the floor by a big ovation from KU’s home crowd. “I thought that was nice, and I’m sure he’ll remember that for a long time,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Our people have enjoyed watching him play for four years. They’ve enjoyed watching him compete. And how can you not respect his game?”

Devonté Graham for a layup that gave the topranked Jayhawks (27-4, 15-3) a 74-71 lead with 2:29 left. Moments earlier, at 3:11, Landen Lucas’ stickback of a Selden miss had erased a 71-70 deficit, and, as it turned out, gave KU the lead for good over No. 21 ISU (21-10, 10-8). “I get on Perry quite a bit for not getting on the floor as much as what I think he should, but he did there at that point,” said KU coach Bill Self, who was moved to tears during an emotional postgame speech of Jamari Traylor (eight points, three steals, two boards). “That was the biggest possession of the game. It was huge for us.” Ellis followed it with a spin move and bank shot that boosted KU’s lead to 76-71 at 1:39. Graham followed with a three from the corner that made it 79-71 at :48. “I just wanted to do whatever I could to try to get over that hump. I had an opportunity to get the ball, and I did,” Ellis said of his dive on the floor and pass to Selden. Graham, who hit four threes and scored 16 points, was thankful. “We were up one, and I came down and lost the ball, and they were about to have a fastbreak. They would have had numbers. Perry dove on the play, and we got two points out of it, so it was definitely the biggest play of the game,” Graham said. Selden, who hit three threes and scored 16 points as well, quickly found Graham under-

neath for the wide-open layup after Ellis knocked him the ball. “I was wide-open, so I knew he would,” Graham said, referring to Selden delivering the ball. Graham’s three from in front of KU’s bench was the dagger to defeat an ISU team that led by as many as four points with 8:48 left. “We have a lot of confidence in him, and he got the wide-open shot and knocked it down,” Ellis said of Graham, who had three assists on a day KU totaled 12 assists, just five turnovers. Ellis earlier was hit with a flagrant foul that

came just after Graham released his three that swished to erase an 63-61 deficit and give KU a 6463 lead at 7:39. Ellis elbowed Deonte Burton in the face while positioning for a possible rebound. Burton hit two free throws, and Georges Niang scored on the ensuing possession to put the Cyclones up, 67-64, at 7:22. “It was something unfortunate. I didn’t try to do that,” Ellis said. “In the moment trying to box out, I boxed out too high and hit him.” KU’s late-game flurry — the Jayhawks outscored ISU 15-7 after the

final TV timeout at 3:25 — pretty much proved to be the story of the day. “Coach said (in huddle), ‘This is our time. We have to win the last three minutes or so.’ We did that,” Ellis said. “We’ve been in that situation before. We have a lot of veteran guys and we did it. “I never think that way,” Ellis added, asked if it crossed his mind KU might lose its firstever Senior Day contest (KU is 32-0 on Senior Day throughout history). “I never have. It’s over when it’s over. I’m going to play until it’s over.” He said it was an emotional day playing in the final home game of Ellis, Hunter Mickelson, Evan Manning and Traylor. “There was a lot of thinking. I was thinking about so much,” Ellis said. “Last night I just

kept thinking, ‘One more. One more.’ Waking up, ‘It’s the last go-round.’ It was a lot of thinking. A lot of family was around. It was great to come away with the win.” Before the game, he even thought about his short-but-sweet threeminute Senior Day speech, which included the Chamberlain/Manning age joke. “About every day I see my face cropped on pictures from decades ago. I had to say something about it,” Ellis explained to media members, who were willing to play along. So, Perry, he was asked, “What was it like playing against Wilt?” “I can barely remember. It was so long ago. It was good,” Ellis said, smiling. KU will next meet the winner of Wednesday’s Kansas State-Oklahoma State game in a Big 12 quarterfinal at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self wiped a tear from one eye, then the other during Jamari Traylor’s eight-minute Senior Day speech on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks’ 13thyear coach was emotionally affected while listening to the 6-foot-8 Chicago native speak personally to Self about an incident at the conclusion of practice his freshman season. “You in practice were saying nobody’s had it harder than me. Nobody should ever have a bad day (because Traylor had the worst days possible during a period of homelessness in high school). I remember when you were talking, your eyes got a little watery. I was, ‘Man, this guy really cares about me,’” Traylor told 16,300 fans after the Jayhawks’ 85-78 victory over Iowa State. Of Traylor’s speech and his own reaction captured on the videoboard, Self said: “I’m not the most emotional guy. When you know his journey, I can’t do anything but respect him. To know how frustrating he’s been to me ... to know how many times I’ve called him in (his office) and said, ‘One more screw-up.’ All those things. “To me, he’s been so much fun to be around.

He’ll go down as one of my all-time favorites. I’m not saying I don’t care for the other guys as much. Seeing the deck stacked against him and how he responded to it, I have nothing but admiration and respect for him.” Of the speech, Self added: “He’s very emotional and certainly held it together. He said some nice things from the heart because he knows this place has changed his life forever.” Traylor was asked if he’d ever seen Self shed tears before Saturday. “No, I don’t think I have.

coach Bill Self said after that January loss. “He dominated. I mean, dominated.” Not Saturday. Morris’ final line from KU’s Senior Day victory was not at all indicative of the role the ISU junior played. He finished with a respectable 13 points, four rebounds and four assists versus one turnover in 40 minutes. But for much of the game, he was a nonfactor. KU junior Frank Mason III deserves most of the credit for that, and Self deserves props for making sure Mason understood the importance of putting the clamps on Morris. “We talked about it,” Self said. “I mentioned 21, nine and zero a thousand times this week. Not even saying it to Frank but definitely knowing he was gonna hear it.” Mason heard it, all right. And Morris, no doubt, left Lawrence wishing he hadn’t. Rather than let Morris cruise up the court freely and work off ball screens near the three-point line, where the first or second dribble would put him in the heart of the paint, Mason picked up Morris the minute he crossed mid-court. And he pretty much never lost sight of him from there. “I wanted to get in motion with him early so I could cut the head off of their team,” Mason said. “And our guys were locked in — shrinking the floor, making him make the extra pass. We weren’t really guarding (ISU forward Jameel) McKay because he’s not a shooter. So the bigs, on the hedges, were kind of staying with Monté until I could get back in front of him.” Morris finished 3-of-10 shooting from the floor, and six of his 13 points came from the freethrow line. Overall, Self was less than thrilled about his team’s defense in Saturday’s victory. The Cyclones shot .474 from the floor and became the first team to top .415 shooting since Kentucky on Jan. 30. But where it mattered most, point guard on point guard, Self was 100 percent satisfied. “We did a better job on him,” Self said of Morris. “We can certainly defend better than we did today, but Frank’s job on Morris was admirable.” In what turned out to be yet another classically competitive game between the Cyclones and Jayhawks, there were plenty of hustle plays and clutch shots that stood out. And while those are the plays that show up on SportsCenter’s nightly Top 10 and make fans ooh and ahh, defensive efforts like Mason’s against Morris separate the contenders from the also-rans. With the regular season now behind them, the Jayhawks are much more than contenders. They might just be the favorites. And when a team that is favored to make a deep tournament run is led by a player like Mason, who is willing to put aside the highlights because redemption and pride are more important to him, the favorite becomes even more dangerous. Mason is going to score. And he did Saturday, finishing with nine points and five assists in 32 minutes. But if KU’s junior point guard can defend like he did against Morris and if Graham can follow suit, this team is going to be awfully tough to beat during the next few weeks, just like it has been during the past few.

ROUNDUP

Mountaineers snag 2nd place in Big 12 The Associated Press

Big 12 Men No. 10 West Virginia 69, No. 19 Baylor 58 Waco, Texas — Jaysean Paige had 14 points, and West Virginia wrapped up second place in the Big 12 Conference with a victory at No. 19 Baylor on Saturday. Coach Bob Huggins’ Mountaineers (24-7, 13-5 Big 12) go into the conference tournament with a four-game winning streak. The 13 Big 12 wins are their most in their four seasons in the league. Tarik Phillip added 11 points, and Daxter Miles Jr. had 10 for West Virginia, which led for 281⁄2 minutes after not scoring until more than five minutes into the game. Taurean Prince, one of five Baylor seniors in their last home game, had 19 points and 10 rebounds. The Bears (21-10, 10-8) finished 4-5 at home in the Big 12. They are the only one of the league’s top seven teams finishing with a losing record in conference home games, while matching No. 1 and league champion Kansas for a 6-3 road mark. West Virginia had a much better start to the second half, extending its 32-27 halftime lead to double figures with a 9-2 run. It was 41-29 after Paige’s three-pointer 4:22 after the break. When the Bears got back within five, after a stretch when Price had three consecutive threepointers in just over two minutes and Baylor made five in a row overall from behind the arc, they never got closer. Jevon Carter’s layup with five minutes left put WVU up 57-50 and started a game-clinching 7-1 run during which Baylor missed two shots and was 1-of-4 on free throws. Both teams got off to horrendous starts, combining to go 0-for-9 shooting with four turnovers before Ishmail Wainright passed inside to Rico Gathers to give Baylor a 2-0 lead 3:46 into the game. Baylor missed its first five shots, as did the Mountaineers until Nathan Adrian’s tip-in that came 5:03 into the game and started an 8-0 run. The Bears didn’t go ahead again until Prince made a fadeaway short jumper while being fouled and added the free throw for a 16-14 lead with 6:22 left in the first half.

TCU had a chance to tie with Chris Washburn at the line with 7:28 remaining, but Washburn’s air ball led to a three-pointer by Dinjiyl Walker at the other end. Hield then hit a runner across the lane and a three-pointer for a 60-52 lead. The Sooners were lethargic early, committing seven turnovers in the first eight minutes, falling behind 16-8 and never pulling away from a last-place team coming off a 25-point loss at Kansas State.

When it comes to illness, including ear, nose & throat issues, we know that your child is not just a “miniadult.” Kids often display different symptoms than grownup patients, and they definitely have their own language of complaints. It’s our job to be sensitive to that—and to be sensitive to the parents’ needs and worries as well. It’s just how we do things here.

RHP Carson Fulmer, the eighth overall pick in last year’s draft, was charged with three runs and five hits in two-plus innings. Fulmer said he watched “every minute” of the 2015 World Series. “It’s just the best of the best,” Fulmer said of facing the Royals.

The Lawrence Arts Center, Kansas University and Bracker’s Good Earth Clays are hosting several exhibits and events in Lawrence this week in advance of the NCECA conference.

hen Ben Ahlvers arrived in Lawrence 11 years ago, it was understood that he would be the first artistin-residence in the Lawrence Arts Center’s ceramics residency program. Ahlvers, now exhibitions director at the Arts Center, never completed the residency. Being hired only two weeks in as studio manager put a stop to that. He has climbed the Arts Center career ladder steadily since then, helping to develop the institution’s ceramics program, the residency that originally brought him here and, perhaps most notably, the biannual Lawrence Arts Center Ceramics Symposium, which returns Friday amid a citywide celebration of clay in advance of next week’s National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts conference in Kansas City. That Lawrence will host this year’s pre-conference activities (the website teases the series of workshops, exhibitions and talks as “the conference before the conference”) is nothing short of a “strange, wonderful” culmination of the past decade’s efforts, Ahlvers says. “Personally, for me, it’s a perfect storm of everything that I do,” says Ahlvers, an active

I go to this conference every year, but I’ve never been in the host role before. It’ll be cool to have all those people who I’ve talked to about Lawrence and the Arts Center and the exhibitions program, to have them come here and see it.” — Ben Ahlvers, Lawrence Arts Center exhibitions director

artist in his own right, who will see his work exhibited at Kansas City’s 2016 main gallery as part of the pre-conference activities. “I go to this conference every year, but I’ve never been in the host role before,” he says. “It’ll be cool to have all those people who I’ve talked to about Lawrence and the Arts Center and the exhibitions program, to have them come here and see it.” The unprecedented “scope and scale” of Lawrence’s pre-conference programming — which began in January with a handful of Arts Centerorganized exhibitions and will continue through March 19 — is an appetizer of sorts to the NCECA conference, slated for March 16-19. The 50th annual event, billed as “the world’s largest event held in the world of ceramic arts,” is expected to bring more than 6,000 people to the Kansas City area that

weekend, a record-breaking number by NCECA estimates. Every year, the conference travels to a new city, creating an uptick of clay-based tourism in the surrounding region. The Lawrence Arts Center has partnered with Kansas University and Bracker’s Good Earth Clays — and spent the better part of two years planning, by Ahlvers’ estimate — to organize this month’s activities. “I’m just trying to expose my students to the widest and largest array of work that’s happening in the ceramics field as possible,” says Marshall Maude, an assistant professor of ceramics at KU who has been the driving force behind the university’s preconference events. “That’s why I reached out to so many international artists and that’s why I reached out to so many visiting artists.”

HEARD ON THE HILL

By Sara Shepherd

Catch these KU alumni on TV

s the Kansas University Alumni Association’s magazine and other communications always remind us, Jayhawks are everywhere. This column is dedicated to a handful of them who are on some pretty high-profile TV shows right now (some with more visible roles than others).

‘Survivor’ Former KU basketball and NBA star Scot Pollard is on the current season of “Survivor,” and so far still surviving after three episodes on the Cambodian island of Kaoh Rong. Pollard — now 40 years old, still 6-foot-11 — played for KU from 1993 to 1997, and spent his NBA career with the Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, winning an NBA championship with that team in 2008. In “Survivor” Season 32 Pollard’s on the Brawn tribe (other tribe options were Beauty and Brains). According to his “Survivor” profile, he currently lives in Carmel, Ind., is married, has kids, and says his basketball experience is going to help him win the show: “I’m a great teammate and know how to make others better. And, I’m a winner!” ‘The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story’ I don’t have much time for TV, but I’m a sucker for true-crime and kind

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Former Kansas University basketball player Scot Pollard appears on the current season of “Survivor”; Alumna Nikki Glaser now stars in her own show on Comedy Central; and, from left, Andrew Ralston, Kasi Brown and Sonya English make brief appearances in “The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.”

of hooked on this new series. Big stars include Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, John Travolta as his attorney Robert Shapiro and David Schwimmer as Simpson’s friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian. There are some KU alumni in the cast, too, according to the show’s IMDB cast list and one’s actorsaccess.com bio. But you might have to watch for them pretty closely — none are playing, like, Judge Ito or anything. Andrew Ralston plays a psychiatrist, Kasi Brown a nurse, and Sonya English a restaurant hostess.

‘The Biggest Loser’ In “Biggest Loser” Season 17, which just wrapped last week, this KU alumna wasn’t one of the people trying to drop pounds — she was their gorgeous, superfit and inspiring trainer (basically, the new Jillian Michaels). Jen Widerstrom was a KU track and field athlete who, during her senior season in 2005, set a school record in the hammer throw at 191 feet, 11 inches. After graduation, according to an NCAA.org feature on her, Widerstrom went from bartender to fitness model to appearing on the TV show “American

Gladiators” to certified fitness trainer before being cast on “Biggest Loser.”

‘Not Safe with Nikki Glaser’ My colleague Joanna Hlavacek already wrote about KU alumna Nikki Glaser, but in case you missed it, Glaser now has her own show on Comedy Central. Here’s a snip describing the show from Joanna’s full Q&A with Glaser: “Nikki Glaser is a self-described ‘curious perv,’ and proud of it ... the comedian explores everything from foot fetishes, the biological explanation behind poly-

amory and her parents’ sex lives through a series of ‘panel discussions, field pieces and social experiments.’”

— This is an excerpt from KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears regularly on LJWorld.com.

Paranoia about wife’s coworker may hurt marriage Dear Annie: My wife of 30 years is a manager at a large company. Over the past several months, she has been working with a divorced male colleague who is constantly texting, phoning, emailing and Facebook messaging her. At first, I thought nothing about the invasion of privacy. But when the contact was after business hours and on weekends, I began to wonder if there was something else I needed to be concerned about. I have asked my wife to keep her contact with him to business hours, but she insists their chatter is work related and there is nothing going on between them. The two of them have been assigned a major project that will take at least three years

Tell your wife you need reassurance, and this involves transparency. Ask her to share the texts and

Looking back on ‘Downton’ The long-anticipated conclusion of “Downton Abbey” on “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) arrives. Now what? The lingering popularity of this series has presented both a mystery and a no-brainer. It offered fans of costume dramas and romantic melodramas a good-looking mixture of the cozy class struggle of “Upstairs, Downstairs” with the social, economic and romantic complications of “Pride and Prejudice.” As in many Jane Austen novels, much boils down to a woman’s right to choose her man and her worries about arcane legal entailments preventing one from inheriting estates. It’s no secret that people tuned in for the clothes, the decor, the architecture and the landscapes. But just what did this post-Edwardian soap opera say to its 21st century audience? I’ve always suspected that viewers took some comfort in the fact that way back then (at least on television), the lords of the manors defined their role as keeping their vast staffs gainfully employed, relatively content, well fed and sheltered. Lord Grantham’s (Hugh Bonneville) noblesse oblige is in short supply in our age of downsizing, outsourcing, unpaid internships and the rise of cutthroat services like Uber. ‘‘Downton” series creator Julian Fellowes is smart to wrap up the series in the mid-1920s, a lifetime removed from the Great Depression and preWWII era, when many of the aristocrats celebrated in this picture-book history series took a shine to Germany’s Fuhrer. Not to give too much away, but most of the relationships get wrapped up in neat little bows suitable for brides and babies. Viewers with a “Downton”sized hole in their viewing schedule could do much worse than “A Place to Call Home,” a period melodrama streaming on the Acorn service. Set in 1950s Australia, it adds a dash of “Dynasty” to the historical mix. In addition to great costumes, period music, noble heroes and hiss-worthy villains, it touches every hot-button issue (secret gay longings, anti-Semitism, illegitimacy, suicide, impotence, post-traumatic stress, abortion and the Holocaust) imaginable. It’s not high art, but it’s highly addicting. Tonight’s other highlights O A terrorist’s location is revealed on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14). O A two-hour “Dateline” (8 p.m., NBC) recalls the arrest and trial of O.J. Simpson. O Hank runs into Adam as “The Family” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14) premieres in its regular time slot. O Offense offers the best defense on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC, TV-MA).

emails (past and present) from her co-worker. She should have no reason to hide them from you. Dear Annie: I love reading Annie’s Mailbox. But I strongly feel that you did not sufficiently help “Cut Off in Montreal.” He said he’s been married 21 years and that his wife withholds sex any time they argue. She also refuses to discuss it. While all his problems are probably legitimate, your answer failed to note the most important reason that his wife is likely frustrated with and resentful of him, and as a result, cannot engage in sex with him. The fact that she brings up old grievances shows that she is extremely unhappy. Most women I know associate sex with love. Could it be

that she does not feel cherished or cared for when she is suffering? Please address the fact that his wife most definitely feels unloved. She is angry, frustrated and resentful, because he does not cherish her. At least that is how she sees it. — A 76-YearOld Mother of Two Dear Mother: You could be right, although you are making a lot of assumptions. Many men do not realize how much emotional caring a woman needs in order to feel loved. However, if you are right, the wife needs to clearly communicate what her emotional needs are so that her husband understands.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, March 6: This year you often come across as being far more serious than you really are. People respond well to this side of you, but they might not be able to relate to the unpredictability and lightness of your personality. If you are single, you easily could meet someone who becomes important to your life’s history. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from increasing the private time you have together as a couple. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++++ Join your friends after having a serious chat with someone at a distance.

BEST-SELLERS

Transplant’s memoir captures the South’s complexity

pring break is just around the corner, and I can’t wait. Call me boring, but I’m taking a staycation. Forget cleaning the house and yard projects, my plan is to read books, watch movies, sleep in, eat chocolate, eat more chocolate, and drink a little red wine. Bliss. As an appetizer to the week ahead, I’ve already delved into “Dispatches from Pluto: Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta.” No, it’s not another Read Across Lawrence outerspace adventure. This one was recommended by our son who received the book as a gift from his in-laws-to-be who hail from Jackson, Miss. Seems they thought the Kansan who is marrying their incredibly lovely and smart daughter needs a lesson on their home state. And what a lesson it is. This book is terrific. Written by British-born author, journalist and television host Richard Grant, “Dispatches from Pluto” is Grant’s personal account of moving from Lower Manhat-

tan to Pluto, Miss. Talk about culture shock. After accepting an invitation from famed cookbook author Martha Foose to visit the Mississippi Delta, Grant ends up buying an old farmhouse and persuades his girlfriend to move there with him. Together, they learn about alligators, armadillos and firearms and meet an unbelievable cast of characters, including a local nurse who had bought an AK-47 for stress relief during menopause. “I don’t know what women in New York

do,” she said in a fast-paced drawl. “Probably see a therapist or get on meds. I got my AK and a T-shirt that said, ‘I’m Out of Estrogen and I Got a Gun.’” Given Mississippi’s infamous and tumultuous past, Grant does not shy away from addressing the racial contradictions and complexities of the Mississippi Delta. He observes that “the Delta is arguably to most the most racist, or racially obsessed, place in America, but you see more ease and conviviality between blacks and whites than in the rest of America.” According to one reviewer, “Dispatches from Pluto” is “simply the best book on race and racism in America I’ve ever read. Things we say and don’t

say, relationships we have and don’t have, long-held misunderstandings and new insights grown from distance and proximity.” Now, three years later, Grant and his girlfriend are still in Mississippi and have no plans to leave. They live in Jackson, where she works as a librarian. In the book’s prologue, Grant says that one of his hopes in writing “Dispatches from Pluto” was to dissolve stereotypes and illustrate his conviction that Mississippi is the best kept secret in America. “Nowhere else is so poorly understood by outsiders, so unfairly maligned, so surreal and peculiar, so charming and maddening.” “Dispatches from Pluto” is a highly entertaining, beautifully written book that reads like a novel. Like its subject, it is surreal, peculiar, charming and maddening. You’ll find it in Lawrence Public Library’s nonfiction stacks, 976.2 GRANT R. — Kathleen Morgan is the executive director of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation.

BOOK REVIEW

Tales of mushing, therapy dogs and cat men cats are weird, and do weird things at weird times, but they also are silly, affectionate and playful, not to mention displaying a wide range of personalities. This edition of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” features 101 stories about the funny and sometimes strange actions of our feline friends. For dog-lovers, “Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Dog” is also available.

By Jeremy Mikula Associated Press

This month offers a variety of touching books about pets and animals, including a golden retriever that survived Hurricane Katrina to become a therapy dog and a tender look at cats and the men who own them.

‘Encounters with Rikki: From Hurricane Katrina Rescue to Exceptional Therapy Dog’ by Julie Strauss Bettinger (Inkshares) The human-animal bond has quite a storied past but perhaps fewer stories can match that of Rikki, a golden retriever puppy orphaned by Hurricane Katrina whose abilities as a therapy dog give her a full workload helping hospital patients, accident victims, the mentally ill and children who struggle with learning to read. ‘Dog Love’ by Ann DeVito (Penguin) The diversity of dog breeds serves as Ann De-

Vito’s inspiration for this collection of bold and colorful illustrations of everything from the labradoodle (Labrador retriever/poodle mix), the puli (think Rick James’ dreads), the Rhodesian Ridgeback and beyond. Included also are tight descriptions of each breed, fun facts and quotes about dogs from contemporary and historical figures.

BOOK REVIEW

Mother’s secrets turn tragic in ‘What Lies Between Us’

By Blanca Torres Associated Press

In her new novel, author Nayomi Munaweera takes on the subject of motherhood — and completely defaces it. “What Lies Between Us” (St. Martin’s Press; 320 pages, $26.99), Munaweera’s second novel, features a main character who commits a horrendous violation of society’s unspoken code that raising a child is a woman’s most sacred task. In the opening of the novel, Munaweera drops hints that the main character, Ganga, has been institutionalized for an unspecified crime. She wants to tell her story. Like Munaweera’s ac-

claimed first novel, “Island of a Thousand Mirrors,” this story is set in her native islandcountry of Sri Lanka. She employs her elegant prose to depict the lives of both the privileged class and those who serve them in a country relatively unknown to an American audience. The author carefully unfolds a vivid account of Ganga’s life growing up as an only child in an affluent, yet troubled home.

Munaweera pulls off an impressive narrat i v e feat in that she presents a story that is both illustrative, and yet painstakingly rife with secrets. Ganga’s parents have an unstable relationship marked with closed-door shouting matches and prickly behavior in public. For Ganga and the reader, it is hard to decipher who is the aggressor. In some instances, the father comes off as condescending and cold toward his wife.

In one scene, Ganga’s mother knocks an expensive camera out of her husband’s hands, sending it crashing to the ground, as he attempts to photograph his daughter after a school performance. He plays it off as an accident to save face in front of the other families while his wife reprimands him. On the ride home, Ganga remains silent, hoping to not add to whatever drama is going on. It is that urge to suppress secrets, pain and conflict that haunts Ganga for the rest of her life and leads her to make a catastrophically bad decision. But before the novel arrives at that fateful in-

cident, the story takes us through Ganga’s coming of age both in Sri Lanka and later in the United States, where she moves with her mother as a teenager. The story follows Ganga into adulthood. She becomes a nurse, working and living in San Francisco. She unexpectedly falls in love and becomes a wife and mother. The novel is rich with artfully intricate language and descriptions. Munaweera has managed to craft an alluring, complex and beautiful tale centered on a heinous act. While it’s clear a tragic ending is inevitable, the novel carries an urgency and hypnotism that makes it impossible to look away.
