weet sounds always have seemed to follow John Kiefer.

As a youngster, he would sit outside the famed jazz clubs of the 18th and Vine district of Kansas City.

Too young to enter, he would hear the sounds of legends like Charlie Parker coming from inside, while watching legends like Satchel Paige come and go.

Sure, not all the sounds were sweet. At 4 years clawhorn@ljworld.com old he was told the news his father had died. Soon thereafter his mother and siblings moved to the area near 18th and Vine, and he became one of the few white kids in a black neighborhood.

Kief’s And there were times that the sounds didn’t sound so sweet, at first.

Like when Kiefer, who suffers from dyslexia, was told by his college adviser that a career in engineering wasn’t going to be in the cards. Having just dropped out of classes at Kansas University, Kiefer was looking for a sound that would soothe.

“I went down to the music store in downtown Lawrence and asked for a Miles Davis album,” Kiefer recalls of the late 1950s day. “The clerk told me the store didn’t carry ‘that kind of music.’

She said, ‘Those people steal.’”

Certainly doesn’t sound like too sweet of a sound. But the bell that it set off inside Kiefer’s head has produced a nice tone for more than a halfcentury now.

“I thought,” Kiefer says, “maybe I should get into the music business.”

says, he would try to learn something new. He remembers hearing some college kids who had traveled overseas talk about a hot new British band. “We were selling Beatles records before the Beatles ever showed up on TV in America,” Kiefer said. “That’s probably one of the more important things I’ve learned from this business: If you look out the front windshield, you see a lot better than if you look out the rear-view mirror.”

Kief’s does a lot of business online. It is a dealer for several electronics brands, so it sells products to Internet sites that then resell them to the public. It is business that goes through the “back door,” Kiefer says.

The back door, however, isn’t nearly as fun as the front door. And not every business has a back door, and that worries Kiefer.

Leaders unsure how to balance funds for schools

Vote on athletic fee set for this week

Tough choices

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Topeka — A legislative fix to inequities in school funding could negate proposals to increase funding to higher education and all-day kindergarten, Republican legislative leaders say.

“Everything is going to have to be looked at,” said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson.

Last week, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled in a long-running SCHOOLS school finance case that Kansas’ school funding is unconstitutional and ordered legislators to equitably fund statutes that help poor school districts.

When the 2014 legislative session started in January, Gov. Sam Brownback proposed providing state funding to pay for all-day kindergarten. The state currently pays for half-day.

And Brownback proposed restoring some of the cuts to higher education, including Kansas University, that he signed into law last year.

But now a new funding need has arisen. Meeting the Please see FUNDS, page 8A

The fee, which goes to fund women’s and nonrevenue sports, costs students $25 in the fall and spring semesters and $10 in summer. It began in the late 1970s to help the university comply with Title IX, a law protecting gender equity in education that requires universities to support women’s sports.

In 2013, students paid about $1.1 million to Kansas Athletics Inc., the operating arm of the athletics department.

the athletics fee called for eliminating or reducing it in February. Last week the Student Senate’s finance committee recommended cutting the fee outright. Student Body Vice President Emma Halling said the recommendation passed with little debate.

The Student Senate will vote on the matter Wednesday as part of its regular review of all student fees.

If students vote to get rid of the athletic fee, the question

will then go to KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who has the authority to veto the recommendation and send it back to the senate for a second look.

Potentially complicating things is a 2004 agreement signed by then-Athletics Director Lew Perkins and then-Student Body President Andrew Knopp.

The agreement gave the athletics department Allen Fieldhouse seats designated as student seating in return for the department taking over bond payment on a student recreation center expansion. As part of the deal, the agreement set a $20 minimum for the stu-

dent athletic fee for as long as the bond payments last.

After taking it to outside legal experts, student leaders have decided to move ahead with the vote to eliminate the fee. “At this point, I don’t think we’re incorrect in allowing the process to take its full course without being bound by something that was signed a decade ago,” said Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler.

KU spokesman Jack Martin said university administrators consider the agreement between Knopp and Perkins to be binding. However Gray-Little wouldn’t comment on the possibility of vetoing a student vote

to nix the athletic fee. Martin said “it is premature to hypothesize about what actions would be taken on a bill that hasn’t passed yet.”

The athletics department has said previously that the fee is necessary to support women’s and non-revenue sports and that it would consider all its options for making up the loss if students vote to eliminate it.

Students have challenged the athletics fee in the past. In 2009 a Senate committee considered cutting the fee, but decided not to out of fear that thenChancellor Robert Hemenway would veto any cuts.

being flat,” Dobson said.

“But the more I looked, the less flat I saw.”

Dobson set out to get to the bottom of the flatness issue. While many have surveyed topography before, studies typically focus on slope and features — the hills, the mountains, the mesas and so forth.

Dobson took flatness as his central variable and set out to rank the states to see which was the flattest of them all.

Dobson assumed that humans can see about 3 miles in any direction. He also reasoned that a land feature higher than a tree on the horizon would be not-flat. He built these assumptions into an algorithm and applied it to elevation data gathered from a space shuttle. Breaking the U.S. states into grids of 90 meter cells, he used the algorithm to scan the states for flatness as a human would see it.

Dobson guessed all along that Kansas would not even be among the top five flattest states, and he was right. It came in at number seven. The distinction of flattest belongs to Florida, which has a maximum elevation 345 feet above sea level.

Dobson himself spent much of his life in one of the country’s least-flat states, Tennessee, which ranks 43rd. After moving to Kansas, people asked him if he missed the mountains. He had to admit that he did, but the big skies in Kansas all but made up for it. Now he’s a full convert. “I love Kansas, and I love flat lands,” he said.

There’s still a chill in the air, but severe weather season is near. The first tornado struck Kansas on April 7 last year. Use this primer to review your preparedness and test your knowledge about what to do when storms threaten.

Common myths about tornadoes Myth: You’re safe from a tornado near rivers, lakes and mountains.

Reality: No area is safe from tornadoes. According to the National Weather Service, a tornado in the late 1980s “left a path of destruction up and down” a 10,000-foot mountain.

Tornadoes have also been known to cross rivers.

Myth: You should open windows to equalize pressure and minimize damage.

Reality: All this does is allow damaging winds, and perhaps debris, to enter the building. Keep windows closed and stay away from them.

Myth: Tornadoes don’t hit cities.

Reality: Tornadoes have struck several cities, including Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita Falls, St. Louis, Miami and Salt Lake City, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

Myth: You can outrun a tornado in a vehicle.

Reality: Pat Slattery from the National Weather Service Public Affairs said twisters vary in speed.

Some travel 30 miles an hour, some get up to 60 miles an hour. And depending on how far away you are and how fast the tornado is traveling, you may be able to drive to a safe location. But because of the unpredictable weather and possible closed roads, “you don’t want to be in a car during a tornado.”

Tonganoxie

Myth: Hiding under a freeway overpass is safe.

Reality: An overpass does offer some protection, but it also acts as a wind tunnel and does not offer much protection from debris. Roadside ditches are considered a safer place.

Myth: Tying yourself to a fixed structure — as seen in the film “Twister” — will prevent you from being sucked away by the winds.

Reality: However possible this may be, someone who is tethered to an object can still be picked up and whipped around, colliding with any nearby objects or debris.

Advice for staying safe and informed

By Elliot Hughes ehughes@ljworld.com

Basic safety tips l Stay away from windows. l If an underground shelter is unavailable, move to an area that puts as many walls between you and the outdoors as possible. Move to the lowest floor of the building. Do not stay in a car or motor home. l Sit underneath a sturdy piece of furniture, cover yourself with thick padding, such as a mattress or blanket, and use your arms to protect your head and neck from debris.

Who is most at risk? l The elderly, very young, the physically or mentally impaired, people who may not understand warnings because of language barriers, tourists in unfamiliar areas and people who are outdoors.

Be aware of other hazards: l Tornadoes can bring with them flash floods, lightning, winds up to 140 miles per hour and hail as big as grapefruits. l Flying debris from tornadoes causes the most deaths and injuries.

Stay informed about the storm l Warning sirens in Douglas County are tested at noon on the first and third Monday of the month from March through July. If the sirens are heard at any other time, take shelter and seek a television, radio or Internet source for more information. l A “Tornado Watch” denotes that tornadoes are possible for your area.

Remain alert. l A “Tornado Warning” means a tornado has been sighted, or its presence is indicated by weather radar. Finding shelter is imperative. Si-

rens are activated in response to warnings. l Tornadoes occasionally develop in areas where a severe thunderstorm watch or warning is in effect, and they may strike with little or no warning. l Listen to radio and television for updates, and keep a map nearby to follow storm movement. A battery-powered NOAA All Hazard Radio is recommended.

After the tornado l Injuries can occur in the aftermath of a tornado, during cleanup or rescue attempts, from exposed nails or broken glass. Wear sturdy shoes, gloves and long sleeves. l Be careful entering any structure that has been damaged by a tornado. l Do not touch any downed power lines or objects that are in contact with power lines. Report electrical hazards to police and the utility company. l Use battery-powered lanterns or flashlights instead of candles to light homes without electricity. l If your home has been damaged, shut off electrical power to avoid natural gas and propane tanks from catching fire. l If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the main gas valve, open all windows and leave the home immediately. Notify emergency responders and the gas company. l Cooperate with public safety officials and respond to requests for assistance from emergency responders.

However, do not go into damaged areas unless your assistance is requested.

MEASURING DAMAGE You’ve probably heard a tornado described as “an F3” or “barely an F0.” The “F” comes from the Fujita scale, developed

by T. Theodore Fujita in 1971. The 2004 update of the system came with a new name: the Enhanced F-scale or EF-scale. It measures estimated tornado wind speeds based on the damage they cause.

To determine where a tornado falls on the EF-scale, surveyors look at the damage left in its wake. Investigators examine 28 types of free-standing structures to see how much damage they sustained. Based on all the damage, the National Weather Service can estimate the wind speed of the tornado itself and put it on the EF-scale, as seen below.

Operational EF- scale

The EF number is followed by the threesecond gust* in miles per hour.

0 65-85 mph 1 86-110 2 111-135 3 136-165 4 166-200 5 Over 200

*Three-second gust: The highest sustained gust over a three-second period

Have supplies ready for an emergency

A

s severe weather season approaches, it’s a good time to re-examine your emergency kit (or get one in the first place). Take a look at our sample kit of bare essentials. Remember, if you have an infant or it’s cold outside, you’ll want to take that into consideration when gathering supplies. For more suggestions, check ready.gov.

1. Water: Have enough drinking water for the entire family, about one gallon per person.

2. Paper towels: It’s not imperative but having paper towels is helpful for cleanup.

3. Dust masks: The air may be filled with dust or debris after an emergency.

4. Stain-removing wipes: Without regular access to a washer or dryer, these wipes can help keep what clothes you have clean.

5. Wrench: Have a wrench or pliers for turning off utilities. Extra tip: Keep written instructions on where to go and how to do it.

6. Medication: If you know you need daily doses, pack a few extra in your kit.

7. Weather radio: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association broadcasts information over the radio. Have one tuned to WXK91 FM for the latest weather announcements in Douglas County (and have extra batteries for it, too).

8. Can opener: To open canned goods.

9. Moist wipes: Keep in your kit for personal hygiene.

10. Trash bags: Use these to tie up and contain items like dirty clothes or personal waste.

11. Bleach: Plain household bleach can be helpful in an emergency to make a disinfectant (by adding nine parts water to one part bleach) and treating unsafe drinking water (16 drops of bleach per gallon of water).

12. Food: Pack enough nonperishable food to last you and your family at least three days.

13. Flashlight: In case the electricity is out, have a bright flashlight handy.

14. Batteries: The more the better. Have enough extra batteries for your flashlight and radio.

15. First-aid kit: These basic items can help patch up small injuries.

On the whole, this decision charts a different path for school funding litigation, The Kansas Supreme compared to where we’ve been since about Court on Friday handed Lawrence l Westland Construction down its long-awaited rul- 2005.� l An area in Burcham is replacing a water line on ing on school finance and, Park will be fenced off with no public access to the river bank parking and playground equipment areas during construction of the Kaw Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Intake project. Temporary access to the KU Boathouse and park shelter area have been constructed around the work area. The access restrictions are expected to remain in place until work is completed in July 2014. l Because of the renovation and expansion of the Lawrence Public Library, there are intermittent closures of the street in the 700 block of Vermont or Kentucky when crews need to unload materials for construction. l The utilities department is working on a water main located on Maple Lane from E. 19th Street to E. 21st Street. There will be no parking and the road will be closed to through traffic, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. l Because of a road closure in the 900 block of New Hampshire Street, a public transit route (7) is being detoured as follows: Southbound on New Hampshire to Ninth Street, left on Ninth, right on Connecticut, right on 11th, left on Massachusetts and back to the normal route. The closure is expected to last through March. l Banks Construction is replacing a water line on the north side of 23rd Street from Iowa Street to Ousdahl Road. Throughout construction, 23rd Street will remain open to traffic.

The existing median at the northeast corner of 23rd and Iowa Streets will be modified to allow right-hand turns without using the dedicated right-hand turn lane. The dedicated right turn lane from westbound 23rd Street to northbound Iowa Street will be closed for the duration of the project. Westbound 23rd Street will be reduced to one lane from Ousdahl Road to the east entrance to the shopping center at the northeast corner of 23rd and Iowa.

the west side of North Iowa Street from Riverridge to Lakeview Road. North Iowa Street will remain open to two-way traffic throughout construction. The westernmost lane of southbound North Iowa Street from Riverridge to Lakeview will be closed to allow for installation of the water line. Access to southbound North Iowa Street from eastbound Kresge Road will be temporarily restricted.

S. Lawrence Trafficway l In December, a threeyear construction project began to complete the six-mile, four-lane Kansas Highway 10/South Lawrence Trafficway freeway.

The project will move existing K-10 onto a new alignment that will begin at the south junction of the U.S. 59 and K-10 interchange and reconnect with existing K-10 in East Lawrence.

Construction work on the project will be completed in phases. Each phase includes specific work and advance notification will be sent under separate cover for each phase of construction, including planned traffic impacts. The overall scheduled completion date for the project is Fall 2016.

Northbound and southbound E. 1750 Road from N. 1360 Road to 35th Street/N 1250 Road in Lawrence will be closed, 24/7, for bridge embankment through Spring 2015, weather permitting.

Eastbound and westbound 31st Street from E. 1700 Road to E. 1750 Road in Lawrence will also be closed 24/7 for box culvert construction work through Spring 2015, weather permitting.

No marked detours will be provided. Drivers should expect minor delays and must use alternate routes during the roadway closures.

Northbound and southbound Haskell Avenue from 27th Street to 29th Street will be closed 24/7 for utility work, box culvert installation and reconstruction work until Spring 2015.

phancock@ljworld.com

along with it, a new judicial standard that may end up putting even more importance on standardized test results.

The ruling in Gannon v. Kansas revised, and in some ways expanded, the Court’s previous ruling in 2005 when it said the Kansas Constitution requires the Legislature to provide enough money to cover the “actual cost� of a suitable education.

In Gannon, the Court gave more clarity about what a suitable education should be. Citing what are commonly known as the “Rose factors� — from a landmark 1989 Kentucky court case — the Kansas court effectively said that making “suitable provision for finance� of public schools means providing enough money to meet seven specific educational outcomes.

In short, that means students need to come out with “sufficient� knowledge and skills in oral and written communication, social studies, government, health, the arts and other academic and vocational training so they can understand themselves and the world around them. In addition, students should receive the academic and vocational instruction needed to succeed in college or the workplace.

— Derek Schmidt, Kansas Attorney General The Court then remanded the question of suitable funding back to the threejudge panel that tried the case, directing them to look at the issue again under that standard.

Republican leaders, including Attorney General Derek Schmidt and House Speaker Ray Merrick, hailed that decision, saying it moves the state away from pure cost studies, like those that were used as the basis for ordering a massive spending increase following the last school finance case.

They also say it gives the Legislature more leeway in funding schools. “On the whole, this decision charts a different path for school funding litigation, compared to where we’ve been since about 2005,�

Schmidt said. “I think it invites the legislature and policymakers to reclaim control of this process, and on the whole I would say that is good news for the state of Kansas, not only from a policy sense but from a legal sense.�

But other legal experts weren’t so sure, mainly because it now opens up the question about what kind of evidence courts will now use to determine whether funding has been sufficient

to meet the seven-point Rose test. “The easiest, most available and, arguably, the most objectively verifiable evidence is test scores,� said Kansas University constitutional law professor Richard Levy. “Are test scores likely to be a dominant concern on remand? I think the answer is almost certainly yes.�

Merrick said the court’s new standard “kind of validates what we’ve been saying for a long time: It’s not about the amount of money we put in, but the outcomes we get.� And he called that “a good decision for the citizens of this state and the taxpayers.�

But there is little evidence to suggest that the Court’s ruling lets the Legislature off the hook when it comes to the adequacy of current education spending. Furthermore, both the Supreme Court and the three-judge panel that will reconsider the adequacy claim have already signaled that test scores are likely to be used as a significant measure of whether the Legislature has met its constitutional duty. “Citing test scores for the students and certain schools in the district, as well as graduation rates, each (plaintiff)

Funds

“It’s a political solution as to how you craft the legislation to get adequate votes,� Bruce said.

When the decision came down, KNEA President Karen Godfrey called on legislative cooperation for schoolchildren, but predicted political maneuvering. “We don’t need threats to cut funding to vital social services, rob retirement pensions and cut aid to

higher education.� Godfrey said.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, DTopeka, said he believes nothing has to be shortchanged to meet the court’s order to equalize the certain funds for public schools. “If we have to equalize the local option budgets and capital outlay, then the question is where is that money going to

court’s directive to help poor districts could cost up to $129 million annually, although Republican leaders said there is no specific amount required as they start to craft a state budget.

superintendent essentially testified his or her district did not have the resources to provide all of its students with what they described as ‘a suitable education,’� the Supreme Court wrote.

Using test scores to measure the performance of schools themselves is not new in Kansas. In 1992, at the same time the Legislature adopted the current system of funding schools on a perpupil formula, it also enacted what is called the “Quality Performance Accreditation� system. The system uses test scores and other outcomesbased measures to determine whether individual schools should remain accredited.

And in 2001, the importance of test scores got another boost when Congress passed the No Child Left Behind law which set “Adequate Yearly Progress� targets for improvement on student test scores as a condition for receiving federal aid.

In its ruling Friday, the Supreme Court noted that in 2011, nearly one in six Kansas schools, and more than onefourth of the districts overall, failed to meet those targets.

Since 2011, Kansas has received a waiver from No Child Left Behind. But even under the new system that replaced NCLB, test scores are still the primary measurement used to hold schools and districts accountable for their performance.

Now, under the Kansas Supreme Court’s latest ruling, test scores may also become the basis for holding the Kansas Legislature accountable.

come from, and, quite frankly, it very well could come from existing resources,� Hensley said.

That would mean lowering the state’s ending balance figure for the fiscal year, which is something the Legislature has done frequently. —Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-4230668 or srothschild@ljworld.com

No foul play suspected in death by river

By Stephen Montemayor Twitter: @smontemayor

Lawrence police do not suspect foul play in the death of a 44-yearold Lawrence man whose body was found near the Kansas River Saturday morning.

Police and fire-medical personnel were dispatched at 8:48 a.m. to Seventh and New Jersey streets after the member of a river cleanup group reported discovering the body.

Prior felon arrested for gun, drug possession

Lawrence police arrested an Overland Park man on suspicion of felony drug and gun charges early Saturday morning outside a nightclub.

Darnell Sharon O’Connor, 32, was booked into Douglas County Jail and later released on a $24,000 bond. O’Connor was arrested on suspicion of felony cultivation and distribution of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a firearm and possessing money thought to have been earned through drug sales.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said officers on foot patrol in the parking lot surrounding Club Magic, 824 W. 24th St., saw two vehicles with firearms visible inside. When the officers contacted the drivers of the vehicles later outside, they discovered that

McKinley said several relatives who lived with Roberts were present during the shooting.

McKinley said Saturday it was still too early to tell how many people were involved in the incident and whether Roberts knew them.

“If they were known to him,” McKinley said, “I don’t think the individuals over there were invited guests.”

Operation 100 reported that one of the people detained ran from an officer near 27th Street and Redbud Lane and was apprehended at 4:25 a.m.

McKinley said the second person brought in for questioning had been re-

leased Saturday morning and that police were still looking for information about how many people accompanied Walker to the apartment. A minimum of two people were seen fleeing the scene, he said, but more could have been present.

“We made an arrest, but we certainly have much work to do,” McKinley said. “We really don’t know how many people were there.”

Walker has several prior convictions in Douglas County: a 2008 conviction for aggravated battery and two 2012 convictions related to a DUI and fleeing a law enforcement officer.

a coroner led investigators to believe that foul play was not involved in the death.

The body was found near the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Depot, where homeless camps have been found and unattended deaths have been reported multiple times dating back to at least 2008.

On Saturday, McKinley said he didn’t know whether the man had a home or was between homes at the time of his death. He also said he didn’t see a campsite but saw a “campfire ring” nearby.

When the officers contacted the drivers of the vehicles later outside, they discovered that O’Conner was a felon prohibited from possessing a firearm and arrested him after 3 a.m.

Police also found him to be in possession of 27 prescription pills in a bag and a large amount of cash.

O’Conner was a felon prohibited from possessing a firearm and arrested him after 3 a.m. Police also found him to be in possession of 27 prescription pills in a bag and a large amount of cash. Officers believed the cash to be the proceeds of drug transactions.

On Saturday, Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, confirmed that a male suspect was detained as he attempted to leave the area but that no arrest had been made as of Saturday afternoon.

McKinley said that a female victim was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment and that an investigation is ongoing. than 1,850 grams of marijuana were seized from his home. Roberts was booked into Douglas County Jail and later released on a $5,000 bond on March 4.

McKinley said Saturday that police were still investigating whether that case and Saturday’s homicide were connected, but that a motive is still unknown.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lawrence Police at 830-7400 or the Douglas County CrimeStoppers at 843TIPS (8477).

School funds The long-awaited ruling in the Kansas school finance case has arrived. Now the real work begins.

S

tate officials probably weren’t surprised Friday that the Kansas Supreme Court concluded that the state isn’t spending enough on K-12 education.

The question now is how the governor and state legislators will respond to the challenge set forth in Friday’s ruling.

The ruling looked at two main facets of “suitable” school funding: whether state funding for K-12 schools was adequate and whether it was equitable. The equity issue was more or less resolved

by Friday’s ruling, but the potentially far-more-costly adequacy issue may take longer.

First, the justices agreed with the lower court ruling that cuts made during the Great Recession to two state funds created inequitable funding to the state’s poorer school districts. One of those funds is used to subsidize local option budgets for those districts; the other supplements capital outlay budgets. Restoring those funds to their required level will cost the state in the neighborhood of $129 million on top of the $3 billion the state has budgeted for the 2014-15 school year.

By July 1, the Legislature must either approve that amount of money or some lesser amount that a special three-judge panel deems sufficient to resolve the equity issue among school districts.

On the adequacy issue, the Supreme Court wasn’t satisfied with the standard the lower court used to determine what constituted adequate funding so it returned that issue to the three-judge panel for further consideration. The court set no deadline on its deliberations and it’s uncertain whether the panel will offer a recommendation in time for it to be considered during the current legislative session.

However, an attorney for the plaintiffs in the case predicted the results would mirror a previous ruling, which ordered the state to increase K-12 funding by $440 million.

Where will the state find $129 million and perhaps much more to meet the court mandate? More taxes? Income tax reductions were approved last year.

Sales tax was kept at an elevated level and would be an unpopular target, but perhaps not as unpopular as any increases in property taxes at either the state or local level.

Barring new taxes, legislators would have to look at shifting funds from other parts of the budget, which probably has some state agencies worried. The governor already dipped into state reserves and the highway fund to balance his proposed budget for this year, so there isn’t much flexibility there. Friday’s ruling should make state university officials nervous. During a visit last fall to Kansas University, one legislator warned KU officials, “You will take some serious pain,” if the Supreme Court called for more K-12 funding. Other state agencies likely are in the same boat.

Gov. Brownback and legislative leaders praised the ruling Friday for the flexibility it gives the state in setting funding. Their specific strategy in addressing the ruling remains to be seen.

At least the school finance issue now should focus the attention of legislators who have spent too much time this session on issues of far less importance to the state.

Obama leaves exit open to Putin Since the Ukraine crisis began, Obama administration officials have talked about pushing Russia toward the “offramp” and de-escalation. That’s the best diplomatic outcome, but it will require an unlikely public reversal by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The premise of the administration’s approach is that Putin will decide that he made a mistake by seizing the Crimean region of Ukraine and, as he faces ever-greater costs, will negotiate a face-saving com-

Obama’s bet on Putin’s rational willingness to compromise is a long shot, it must be said.

promise, concluding that Russia’s interests are better served by a return to the status quo.

The exit path, as envisioned by the White House, seeks to address Russian concerns without undermining the new Ukrainian government. To answer Putin’s complaints about the supposed mistreatment of Russian-speakers, international monitors have arrived in Crimea. But Russia must now work with the transitional government in Kiev and support elections to choose a successor to President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled last month. Finally, the Russians must return to their military bases in Crimea.

It’s a lot for Putin to swallow and so far, he has refused. Russian troops remain in control in Crimea, and Moscow appears to

back the upcoming Crimean referendum to break away from Ukraine and join Russia. But even Putin, with his ex-KGB man’s bravado, doesn’t appear eager for allout war in Ukraine.

Obama on Thursday added pressure for Putin to stand down. The White House announced visa restrictions and a structure for targeted sanctions against Russians and their allies who are threatening Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Since no individuals or companies are yet named, the sanctions gun is unloaded, for now. The message to Putin was that the further he moves to annex Crimea, the more he risks economic damage to himself and friends, and to Russia itself.

Obama’s bet on Putin’s rational willingness to compromise is a long shot, it must be said. Putin is an autocratic leader with a dangerous nostalgia for Soviet empire. But Obama views him as a “transactional” leader who will make a deal at the right price. By imposing real costs, Obama is backing Putin toward a corner, but also himself: He is now publicly committed to forcing a Russian retreat.

Obama, perhaps stung by conservative criticism that his foreign policy has been weak and vacillating, has in this crisis adopted a strategy of measured escalation.

The aim, an administration official explained Thursday morning, is to “calibrate sanctions based on what the Russians do.” The strategy has three legs: First, the administration seeks to impose “costs” for the Russian intervention; this was essential after Putin’s humiliating rebuff of Obama’s warning last Friday against such action.

The harshest sanctions have been levied by the financial markets, but Thursday’s announcement of Treasury and State Department measures adds some teeth. Just 24 hours earlier, the White House wasn’t sure if such additional measures would backfire.

The strategy assumes that for Putin’s Russia, which was so obviously hungry for validation at the Sochi Olympics, the prospect of international diplomatic and financial ostracism is a real penalty.

Second, the U.S. mobilized its NATO allies to prevent further Russian expansion in the region. Pentagon sources say that several dozen measures have already been adopted, including new NATO exercises and U.S. visits. The message is that Putin’s actions are bringing precisely the outcome he least wanted, in which Russia’s neighbors are moving closer to the U.S. and NATO. Finally, Obama has kept the exit door open, even

as he tries to push Putin through. This combination of sanctions and diplomacy helped yield the breakthrough interim nuclear agreement with Iran, and Obama is attempting a similar maneuver.

U.S. officials who still think a deal with Putin is possible point to what a Washington Post headline called his “strange, rambling press conference” on Tuesday. Putin denied Russian troops had invaded (“there is no need for it”), and it’s noteworthy that Russian troops in Crimea haven’t worn identification badges.

The ex-spy appears to be styling his Crimean campaign as a covert action, rather than an overt invasion. Perhaps if it never officially happened, it’s easier to back down.

Putin returned again and again during his news conference to the theme of legitimacy. He even said he sympathized with the protesters in Kiev who are “used to seeing one set of thieves being replaced by another.” Putin, in his weird way, wants to appear on the right side of history. But finding a way out of this crisis and maintaining the legitimacy he prizes will require Putin to change course. That’s the uncertain bet Obama is making.

Laughter and grief belong together Eighty-three-year old Ron Kilmartin was in a hospice, dying of lung cancer.

His daughter was at his bedside, cracking jokes about it. Here’s one: “Last week, Dad coughed and said, ‘choking.’ I tried to give him water but he just wanted me to turn off the men’s Olympic hockey game.”

Cracking jokes is what Laurie Kilmartin does for a living. She’s a standup comic and an Emmy-nominated writer for Conan O’Brien. In February, she was also a daughter losing her dad. And as he slipped toward transition, she went with what she knew, live-tweeting her father’s death under the handle @anylaurie16. The result: a running, 140 characters or less commentary that was, by turns, painful, profane and profound, but almost always funny.

“Good luck getting an answer to the question, ‘Did I give you too much morphine?”

“Dad is not incoherent, we discovered while gossiping about his side of the family in front of him.”

“The pain my Dad is in I would totally wish on my worst enemy.”

People noticed. Her following jumped from just under 15,000 to more than 42,000. Media outlets from New York to New Zealand to Canada to the United Kingdom wrote about what she was doing.

They were of different worlds, the conservative Catholic war vet and his liberal, atheist daughter. And this, too, became grist for the daughter’s mill.

“Hacked Dad’s email. Unsubscribed him from a Tea Party newsletter. The reason, they asked? ‘I finally figured out you people are crackpots.’”

“How I check that I’ve put Dad’s

hearing aids in correctly. Whisper, ‘testing, testing, Obama is a Muslim,’ then look for the thumbs up.”

“Dad just let me turn on MSNBC during a Fox News commercial break.

Time for Last Rites.”

And isn’t it interesting that these things that matter so much in life, things we argue about, labels that define and divide us in the years when our eyes are bright and horizons endless, matter so little when death arrives? Maybe that’s the biggest joke of all.

Some people might find what she did to be in bad taste. Kilmartin herself tweeted that she was in denial. But perhaps the best word for it is simply this: human. Ineffably, impudently and inspirationally, human.

What, after all, is more human than laughter? It is one of the ways we shake our fists at heaven, thumb our noses

at the cruelties of fate. That’s what Smokey Robinson was getting at when he sang “Tears of a Clown.” It was the prime directive of Alan Alda’s Hawkeye on “M*A*S*H,” the thesis statement of Roberto Benigni’s movie “Life Is Beautiful”: Sometimes we laugh to keep from crying. Sometimes we do both simultaneously.

There is an aphorism that says: Tragedy plus time equals comedy.

Kilmartin’s peculiar genius was to remove time from that equation, to seek the funny inside the pain not two years from now when the pain has dulled but right now, when it is still fresh and raw.

Ron Kilmartin died last week. Comedian Norm MacDonald reached out

by Twitter and helped his daughter find Bible verses for his funeral.

“I just want to hug my Dad again,” she told him.

“I hope you will one day,” he replied.

“Me too,” she wrote.

“I’m just an idiot, Laurie,” wrote MacDonald, “but I found when I embraced the pain as tightly as I could it became love. I pray for you.”

That exchange was poignant and wise — more so, perhaps, than Kilmartin could handle. A day later, she was back in more familiar territory: “Do they fact-check obits? I want to say my dad played bass for the Stones.”

And that denial of pain was funny but was also recognizably — that word again — human. Yes, sometimes things hurt too much for laughing.

But sometimes, they hurt too much not to.

Oil slicks offer sign that Malaysian jet crashed

By Chris Brummitt and Eileen Ng Associated Press

Kuala Lumpur, Malay— Two large oil slicks spotted Saturday by the Vietnamese air force offered the first sign that a jetliner carrying 239 people had crashed into the ocean after vanishing from radar without sending a single distress call.

An international fleet of planes and ships scouted the waters between Malaysia and Vietnam for any clues to the fate of the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777, which disappeared less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing.

The oil slicks sighted off the southern tip sia

of Vietnam were each between 6 miles and 9 miles long, the Vietnamese government said in a statement.

There was no immediate confirmation that the slicks were related to Flight MH370, but the government said they were consistent with the kind of slick that would be produced by the jet’s two fuel tanks.

After the oil was spotted, authorities suspended the air search for the night. It was to resume Sunday. A sea search continued in the darkness, the airline said.

The jet’s disappearance was especially mysterious because it apparently happened when the plane was at cruising altitude, not during the more dan-

BRIEFLY Kansas City bee ends after 2 weeks Kansas City, Mo. — A marathon spelling bee between two Kansas City-area students who exhausted the initial word list last month ended after 29 more rounds Saturday when the eventual runnerup stumbled over the word “stifling.”

For more than an hour, seventh-grader Kush Sharma and fifth-grader Sophia Hoffman went toe-to-toe in the continuation of the Jackson County Spelling Bee, which began two weeks ago but had to be extended after the two breezed through the word list provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee, then 20 more words picked out of the dictionary.

The contestants had no problem correctly spelling words like “boodle” and “slobber.” But at the end of the 28th round, Sophia appeared puzzled when attempting to spell “stifling,” and even more so when the bell rang to indicate she had gotten it wrong.

Following a lengthy break to listen to audio of the round to make sure Sophia had heard the word correctly, the judges ruled that she had misspelled it, meaning Kush could claim the title if he correctly spelled his word.

After being given his final word, “definition,” Kush drew chuckles from spectators when he asked for the definition. He spelled it correctly and won the bee.

Decree clears path to Egyptian election Cairo — Egypt’s interim president on Saturday issued a much-anticipated decree governing an upcoming presidential election that clears the way for a vote many expect will be won by the country’s military chief.

Field Marshal AbdelFattah el-Sissi has not yet officially announced he will run for president, but it is a widely expected move. After the Interim President Adly Mansour’s legal adviser, Ali Awad, announced the move on state television, the election commission is expected to set the date for the vote in April, opening the door for candidates to run.

The election is a key step in a transition plan laid out by interim authorities in July after the army ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

The decree protects the elections commission from legal challenges, a contentious position that had been opposed by one of Egypt’s top courts and criticized by potential candidates.

Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said there was no indication the pilots had sent a distress signal. That might mean that whatever trouble befell the plane happened so fast the crew did not have time to broadcast even a quick mayday.

The lack of a radio call “suggests something very sudden and very violent happened,” said William Waldock, who teaches accident investigation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.

The plane was last inspected 10 days ago and found to be “in proper condition,” Ignatius Ong, CEO of Malaysia Airlines subsidiary Firefly air-

lines, said at a news conference.

Two-thirds of the jet’s passengers were from China. The rest were from elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe.

A long wait for answers could lie ahead.

Russia raises military presence in Crimea, denies activity

By Dalton Bennett and Yuras Karmanau Associated Press

Sevastopol, Ukraine — Dozens of military trucks transporting heavily armed soldiers rumbled over Crimea’s rutted roads Saturday as Russia reinforced its armed presence on the disputed peninsula in the Black Sea. Moscow’s foreign minister ruled out any dialogue with Ukraine’s new authorities, whom he dismissed as the puppets of extremists.

The Russians have denied their armed forces are active in Crimea, but an Associated Press reporter trailed one military convoy Saturday afternoon from 25 miles west of Feodosia to a military airfield

at Gvardeiskoe north of Simferopol, over which a Russian flag flew.

Some of the army green vehicles had Russian license plates and numbers indicating that they were from the Moscow region.

The strategic peninsula in southern Ukraine has become the flashpoint in the battle for Ukraine, where three months of protests sparked by President Victor Yanukovych’s decision to ditch a significant treaty with the 28-nation European Union after strong pressure from Russia led to his downfall.

A majority of people in Crimea identify with Russia, and Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet is based in Sevastopol, as is Ukraine’s.

Vladislav Seleznyov, a

Crimean-based spokesman for the Ukrainian armed forces, told AP that witnesses had reported seeing amphibious military ships unloading around 200 military vehicles in eastern Crimea on Friday night after apparently having crossed the Straits of Kerch, which separates Crimea from Russian territory.

“Neither the equipment, nor the paratroopers have insignia that identify them as Russian, but we have no doubt as to their allegiance,” Seleznyov said.

The amphibious operation appeared to be one of the largest movements of Russian military forces since they appeared in Crimea a week ago.

GOP targets Clinton at gathering

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

Oxon Hill, Md. — She was not on the speaking program, but Hillary Rodham Clinton had presence at the nation’s largest anClinton nual gathering of conservative activists on Saturday, as high-profile Republicans launched a dual effort to attack the prospective Democratic presidential candidate and improve the GOP’s longstanding struggle with women voters.

It was the closing act of a Republican summit that highlighted acute challenges for a party that

hasn’t won a presidential election in a decade.

Thousands of conservative activists, opinion leaders and Republican officials flocked to a hotel just across the Potomac River near Washington.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul won the conference’s presidential preference straw poll, a symbolic victory that reflects his popularity among conservatives who typically hold outsized influence in the GOP’s presidential selection process.

Clinton has yet to announce her 2016 intentions, but she is considered the overwhelming favorite to win her party’s nomination should she run.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich charged that Clinton would be “a prison guard for the past”

should she become president.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., declared that the former secretary of state “has a lot to explain” should she run for president, raising pointed q u e s t io n s about ClinBachmann ton’s work in Russia and Libya. And she challenged the Republican Party’s struggle with women.

“Don’t forget, we are the party, the only party, that had a woman on the presidential ticket this century,” Bachmann, a 2012 presidential candidate, said of 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

The changing tune of a retailer: Kiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner has heard it all

S

weet sounds always have seemed to follow John Kiefer.

As a youngster, he would sit outside the famed jazz clubs of the 18th and Vine district of Kansas City.

Too young to enter, he would hear the sounds of legends like Charlie Parker coming from inside, while watching legends like Satchel Paige come and go.

Sure, not all the sounds were sweet. At 4 years clawhorn@ljworld.com old he was told the news his father had died. Soon thereafter his mother and siblings moved to the area near 18th and Vine, and he became one of the few white kids in a black neighborhood.

Vitamin B12 Injections Help Curb Hepatitis C Infections Vitamin B12 shots can increase the effectiveness of drugs used to treat chronic hepatitis C infection.

Garardo Nardone, MD, of the University of Naples, Italy, and his colleagues, treated 94 patients using a combination of interferon and ribavirin. Some of the patients also received intramuscular injections of 5,000 mcg of vitamin B12 every four weeks while also receiving antiviral therapy.

Nardone tracked how long it took patients to be completely free of the virus that causes hepatitis C. After 24 weeks, patients receiving the B12 injections along with drug therapy were about seven times more likely to be free of the virus, compared with patients who received only drug therapy.

Reference: Rocco A, Compare D, Coccoli P, et al. Vitamin B12 supplementation improves rates of sustained viral response in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. Gut, 2012: doi 10.1136/gutjnl-2012-302344.

Analysis Shows Cranberry Helps Prevent Urinary Tract Infections An analysis of data from 10 different studies has found that cranberry-containing products reduce the odds of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Chih-Hung Wang, MD of the National Taiwan University Hospital and his colleagues looked at 10 controlled studies that included 1,494 men, women, and children. The studies used different types of cranberry products, including juice, capsules, and tablets – with different amounts of cranberry and dosing schedules.

Overall, Wang found that cranberry users were 38 percent less likely to develop a UTI. However, cranberry-containing products seemed to be more effective in certain subgroups. Women in general had a 51 percent lower risk of UTIs if they consumed cranberry products, while women with recurrent UTIs had a 47 percent lower risk of UTIs. Cranberry juice drinkers had a 53 percent lower risk of UTIs, and consuming cranberry products more than twice daily was associated with a 42 percent lower risk of UTIs. Children who consumed cranberry products had a 67 percent lower risk of UTIs. Reference: Wang CH, Fang CC, Chen NC, et al. Cranberry-containing products for prevention of urinary tract infections in susceptible populations. Archives of Internal Medicine, 2012;172:988-996.

Every Body Needs the Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s!

From our heads to our toes, the B vitamins are crucial for every body to function

By Lindsay Wilson

F

atigue, irritability, poor concentration, depression, anxiety, memory loss. These common symptoms plague innumerable Americans, and in fact, many people have learned to live with them, resigned that they are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? part of life. But these symptoms are not normal, and in many cases, are signs of suboptimal levels of the B-complex vitamins.

The B vitamins are absolutely crucial for energy production and nerve and brain health. Though the symptoms above certainly can be signs of serious illness, they are DOVR DOO FRPPRQ VLJQV RI D % YLWDPLQ GH¿FLHQF\²HYHQ PLQRU GH¿FLHQFLHV FDQ KDYH a huge effect. The good news is that this can easily be corrected by increasing your intake of the B vitamins.

The B vitamins are a group of water-soluble essential vitamins (our bodies do not produce them; they must be obtained through diet and supplementation) that are required for both mental and physical health. They are necessary for the production of many important neurotransmitters, including dopamine and serotonin; they help maintain the health of brain cells and the integrity of the myelin sheath that protects the nerves; they are needed for the metabolism of fats, protein, and carbohydrates to produce energy in the body; they are involved in the synthesis of new cells; and they also play an important role in cardiovascular health.

7KH % FRPSOH[ LQFOXGHV % WKLDPLQ % ULERĂ&#x20AC;DYLQ % QLDFLQ % SDQWRWKHQLF acid), B6, biotin, B12, and folate.

B6. B6 is required for the body to make several neurotransmitters, including GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It is also required for the synthesis of RNA and DNA, which contain the genetic instructions for the reproduction of all cells and for normal cellular growth. B6 plays a role in the production of red blood cells and certain immune cells and is needed for the body to absorb B12. Along with several other B vitamins, B6 also helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is an amino acid that is formed in the body as the result of the breakdown of another amino acid, methionine. High levels of homocysteine have been associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and the cognitive dysfunction associated with dementia and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease.

Biotin. The body requires biotin to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and protein. It aids in cell growth and is involved in the production of fatty acids and also appears to improve fasting glucose levels.

B12. B12 is especially important in maintaining nerve and brain health. It is crucial for maintaining the health of the myelin sheath, and along with several other B vitamins, it is required for the production of the neurotransmitters GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. It is also involved in the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound that supports healthy moods. B12 also works with folic acid to make blood cells, is necessary for DNA production, helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels, is required for proper digestion, and for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

B1 (thiamin). Thiamin is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates for energy production. It is also needed for the healthy functioning of neurons and in the SURGXFWLRQ RI WKH QHXURWUDQVPLWWHU DFHW\OFKROLQH ZKLFK DIIHFWV PHPRU\ DQG OHDUQLQJ² inadequate intake of thiamin can negatively affect cognition and memory.

Folate. Also known as folic acid, this B vitamin is especially important in pregnancy as it reduces the risk of neural tube defects in fetuses (the neural tube eventually develops into the brain and spinal cord) by promoting healthy embryonic and fetal nerve cell formation. It also plays a role in DNA and RNA synthesis, is important for healthy cell division and replication, is important in maintaining the integrity of the myelin sheath, is needed for the proper formation of blood cells, and reduces homocysteine levels.

B3 (niacin). Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid or nicotinamide, may best be known for its cholesterol-lowering properties. Used since the 1950s to lower cholesterol, niacin has also been shown to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol (the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;?cholesterol).

Reed leads at Doral; Woods three back SOUTH

Doral, Fla. (ap) — Patrick Reed turned his game around in four holes Saturday and wound up with a 3-under 69 in much tamer conditions at Doral, giving him a two-shot lead at the Cadillac Championship going into a final round that will prominently feature Tiger Woods for the first time this year.

Reed rolled in a 40-foot eagle putt on No. 8 and started the back nine with consecutive birdies. He drove the green on

the par-4 16th for a two-putt birdie and wound up with a two-shot lead over PGA champion Jason Dufner (68) and Hunter Mahan, who bogeyed his last hole for a 71.

Fomer Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fired a third-round 71 and was at 5-over 221, tied for 28th and nine shots back.

Woods delivered the low round of the tournament and his best round of the year.

He made three birdie putts

Shields to start opener Surprise, Ariz. — James Shields and Jason Vargas will start the Royals’ first two games of the season at Detroit.

Manager Ned Yost announced opening starters Saturday and says Wade Davis is no longer a candidate for a spot in the rotation.

Davis made 24 starts before being sent to the bullpen last season. Yost says the decision on Davis was made after Luke Hochevar was lost for the season to reconstructive elbow surgery.

Yost says left-hander Danny Duffy and rookie right-hander Yordano Ventura are the remaining candidates to fill out the rotation.

Jeremy Guthrie, who led the Royals with 15 victories last year, will start the home opener on April 4 against the Chicago White Sox.

Reed will be going for his third win in his last 14 starts dating to the Wyndham Championship in August. He was at 4-under 212, the highest score to lead after 54 holes at Doral since a three-way tie at 212 in 1985.

Ramirez lifts Brewers past Royals Phoenix (ap) — Aramis Ramirez hit a three-run double in the first inning on the first pitch he saw this spring, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-6, on Saturday.

The third baseman made his first start since having surgery in early January to remove a polyp from his colon. Ramirez went 2-for-2 with a walk and scored a run in his spring debut.

Marco Estrada, making his third start of the spring for the Brewers, gave up three runs and seven hits in 31⁄3 innings.

Royals right fielder Norichika Aoki, facing the team that traded him during the offseason, had a two-run single in the third inning. Second baseman Christian Colon was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored.

Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke challenged that catcher Martin Maldonado was hit by an 0-2 pitch from John Lamb in the first inning that was called a ball by umpire Allen Bailey.

Within a minute it was determined that the replay was inconclusive.

SEATTLE’S BRAD EVANS, RIGHT, heads the ball next to Sporting Kansas City’s Lawrence Olum. The Sounders defeated K.C., 1-0, on Saturday in Seattle.

Seattle tops Sporting K.C. on late goal, 1-0 Seattle — Once the scrum subsided, a visitor made his way over to Chad Barrett in the Seattle locker room after an introduction that could not have been more dramatic for the home side.

“That,” Sounders majority owner Joe Roth joked, “is why we brought you here.”

Barrett scored off a wild scramble in the penalty area in the final moments of second halfstoppage time to give Seattle a 1-0 victory over defending champion Sporting Kansas City on Saturday in the Major League Soccer opener.

Seattle shocked Kansas City with a goal in stoppage time for the fifth time in the past eight matches. Barrett scored in his Sounders debut after Clint Dempsey’s header clanged off the crossbar, and goalkeeper Eric Kronberg was caught out of his net.

“When I scored, I couldn’t even hear myself scream,” Barrett said. “I’m pretty sure I was screaming or I was going through puberty. One of the two.”

The goal was a stunning conclusion after it appeared Kansas City would be happy to open its title defense getting out of Seattle with a draw.

Barrett’s goal started with a strong crossing pass by substitute Sean Okoli, but the play itself started after Graham Zusi committed a turnover in the midfield. Kronberg came out of the net to try and punch Okoli’s cross and the deflection allowed Dempsey a clear header.

Dempsey’s attempt hit the crossbar, but he was able to keep the play alive and get his toe on the loose ball. He was trying for a scissorkick shot on goal, but it trickled forward far enough that Barrett was able to finish off the game winner.

“For 90-plus minutes, we were excellent. We were very hard to break down and had a couple chances of our own,” Zusi said. “A stupid mistake by me in the 93rd minute, and we got punished. That’s something that can’t happen.”

Dempsey came on in the 57th minute just a few days after playing 90 minutes for the U.S. national team in an exhibition loss to Ukraine in Cyprus. He was credited with an assist, his second since joining the Sounders.

“Getting a goal in injury time does show that you’re fighting to the end. But it is a long season,” Dempsey said.

It was the first match played with replacement officials after Major League Soccer’s referees and other on-field officials were locked out Friday. There appeared to be no egregious issues with referee Alan Kelly.

PRO BASKETBALL

Wizards sign Gooden again Milwaukee — Forward Drew Gooden was signed to a second 10-day contract by the Washington Wizards.

Gooden, a former Kansas University standout who was originally signed by the Wizards on Feb. 26, has averaged 4 points and 3.3 rebounds in three games.

The 11-year veteran was signed after forwards Nene and Kevin Seraphin suffered knee injuries. He was held scoreless in his first two games before making six of seven shots and scoring 12 points against Utah on Wednesday.

Gooden, 32, signed a five-year, $34 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent in 2010 but was waived after last season through the league’s amnesty provision.

Keselowski Nationwide winner Las Vegas — Brad Keselowski overcame electrical trouble and held off Kyle Busch on Saturday to win the Nationwide Series race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first time.

In his eighth start on the desert track, Keselowski earned his 28th career Nationwide win on his 20th track.

Kyle Larson was third, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished fourth in front of rookie Chase Elliott, who posted his first top-five finish.

Busch came up from a 37th-place start to finish second on his hometown track, but couldn’t catch Keselowski’s Penske Ford.

Keselowski lost three spots early after sliding through his pit box. He later lost power because of a faulty alternator, forcing him to turn off equipment.

He still navigated through traffic on the final laps in an exciting finish.

LHS would never recover, closing its season at 17-5. East (18-4) advances to the state tournament next week.

“We knew this would be a game of runs and momentum,” Lawrence head coach Mike Lewis said. “It definitely shifted their way there.”

The Lions were also playing with a lot of emotion after learning LHS assistant and head juniorvarsity coach Kermit Aldridge had lost his battle to cancer at 2 a.m. Saturday.

“Our boys have had a lot of adversity lately,” Lewis said. “They might look at you in the face and say, ‘Oh, I’m doing fine. Let’s go win this one for coach,’ but it weighs on them.

“They have some real heavy hearts, and in a game like this, where that momentum is going against us, we dug in, and our guys have done a good job handling adversity.”

“They’re just so quick,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said. “Hard to simulate that. You don’t see that kind of quickness against anybody who we play on a regular basis. ... We knew that was going to be problem if Garnes got going.”

“We knew it was going to be a tough game because this was a great team that we were playing against,” Roberts said of the Hawks. “We tried to focus as a team.

Lane, an athletic 6-foot-4 wing, opened the fourth quarter by driving to his left near the baseline and throwing down a vicious dunk. However, the referees called him for a technical foul when he celebrated the dunk.

The Buffaloes made the two free throws from the technical, and Garnes converted a layup on the following possession.

Afterward, Lane made two consecutive trips to the free-throw line as he drove to the basket, before the Buffaloes’ defense adjusted and drew a few charges to force Lane to shoot jumpers.

Moreano and Lane scored all of Free State’s 18 points in the second quarter. Moreano passed the ball to Lane for open layups and a thunderous dunk, while Lane kicked the ball out to Moreano for two three-pointers, giving the Firebirds a 3330 halftime lead.

“That’s a big blow,” Law said about Moreano’s injury. “He had a great first half. We can do some stuff with him that makes us difficult to guard. Not having him out there, he’s kind of the heart and soul of this team. That was a big blow.”

BIG 12 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Baylor ends KU’s season with 81-47 rout J-W Staff and Wire Reports

Sue Ogrocki/AP Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CHELSEA GARDNER (15) SHOOTS between Baylor’s Kristina Higgins (44) and Nina Davis during a Big 12 Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament quarterfinal on Saturday in Oklahoma City. Baylor won, 81-47.

Oklahoma City — Kansas University’s women’s basketball team couldn’t duplicate the magic from its biggest win of the season.

Kansas trailed Baylor by just a point at halftime on Jan. 19 before dominating the second half and winning by 16. In the rematch Saturday, the ninth-ranked Bears led by 26 at the break and routed the Jayhawks, 81-47, in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.

Baylor opened Saturday’s game with a 22-4 run that put Kansas on its heels. Nina Davis scored nine points during that stretch while Kansas made just two of its first 13 shots.

“I thought they were really, really aggressive with us in the first four minutes, got us out of sorts,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We had no rhythm. We started dribbling around like crazy.”

Davis, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, led Bay-

lor with 20 points and seven rebounds. Odyssey Sims, the nation’s scoring leader and Big 12 Player of the Year, added 15 points for the top-seeded Bears (27-4).

Junior forward Chelsea Gardner had 21 points and nine rebounds, and freshman guard Dakota Gonzalez added 10 points and six rebounds for No. 8 seed Kansas (13-19), which shot just 34 percent from the field and suffered its worst loss of the season.

Gardner made nine of 18 shots, scoring 11 points in the first half, but the rest of the team made just 10 of 38. Asia Boyd (27 minutes) and CeCe Harper (30 minutes) went scoreless in the game on combined 0-for-9 shooting. Natalie Knight had just five points on 1-for-9 shooting in 34 minutes.

“We’ve got to shoot the ball better to get Chelsea some room,” Henrickson said. “We’ve got to give her some room to play.”

Baylor, the three-time defending tournament champion, advanced to

play No. 18 Oklahoma State in the semifinals today.

The Jayhawks were coming off an 87-84 overtime win over Kansas State the night before.

Gardner made two of her first three shots for Kansas while the rest of the team started off 0-for10 from the field.

Baylor made just 42 percent of its shots in the first half but outscored the Jayhawks 17-1 from the free-throw line.

“It first started with Odyssey pressuring the defense, and we just followed her lead,” Baylor guard Niya Johnson said.

Baylor forced 10 turnovers in the first half and 20 total. The Bears held Kansas to 9-for-34 shooting.

“They just looked at us and said, ‘We’re going to rip it and drive on you and offensive rebound and get you in transition,’” Henrickson said.

WEST VIRGINIA 92, KANSAS 86

WVU’s Staten earns Huggins’ praise

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Morgantown, W.Va. — West Virginia junior point guard Juwan Staten of Dayton, Ohio, sat down with his father last summer to discuss goals for the upcoming season.

Staten made becoming a unanimous first-team allconference pick and Big 12 player of the year honors two of his primary goals.

Staten’s veteran coach, Bob Huggins, took it one step higher Saturday after watching his floor leader direct West Virginia to a 92-86 victory against Kansas University in WVU Coliseum.

“I’ll share this with you,” Huggins said. “On my ballot, the All-American one when you’re allowed to vote for your own player, I voted for him first-team All-Amer-

ica. I think he’s the best point guard in the country.”

Staten and KU’s Andrew Wiggins both helped their strong cases for Big 12 player-of-theyear honors. Staten contributed 24 points, five rebounds and nine assists, driving his team to a 25-point lead. Wiggins had 41 points, eight rebounds, five steals and four blocked shots, steer-

ing a comeback to within four points.

“I’ve never seen him play like that,” Huggins said of Wiggins. “He made shots today, and when he makes shots he’s really difficult.”

Staten had more help in this one than did Wiggins. Freshman center Devin Williams had a career-high 24 points and 13 rebounds, and guard Eron Harris, hitting five of sev-

en three-pointers, scored 28 points.

Huggins explained why he wrote Staten’s name on his first-team AllAmerica ballot.

“What he does for us at both ends of the floor,” Huggins said. “We’re in the best league in America. I think that’s what pretty much everybody agrees on. Here’s a guy who has been first or second in scoring. He’s led in

assists. He’s led in assiststo-turnover ratio. He’s in the top 15 in rebounding. He’s in the top five in field-goal percentage.

There’s not one area that you can really look at that he’s not one of the top guys in the league at.

“You’re talking about a 6-foot point guard, and he’s one of the top 15 rebounders in the league.

What more do you want him to do?”

WEST VIRGINIA FORWARD DEVIN WILLIAMS FALLS TO THE FLOOR AS KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR LOSES THE BALL over West Virginia forward Remi Dibo during the Jayhawks’ 92-86 loss on Saturday in Morgantown, W.Va.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

in scoring a KU-freshman-record 41 points off 12-of-18 shooting.

He made 15 of 19 free throws in surpassing Ben McLemore’s old KU rookie-record point total of 36, coincidentally set against West Virginia on March 2, 2013.

“I’m just happy to be here, blessed to be in the moment playing in front of people who showed me love the past two years.

It’s a blessing,” said Wiggins, who also had eight rebounds, five steals and four blocks.

“It’s a good thing, but we lost,” Wiggins added of becoming the school’s top single-game freshman scorer of all time.

“I’d rather score five points and win than score 40 and lose. To me, it’s not really something that great because we lost.”

Wiggins, who had 24 points the second half off 7-of-11 shooting, helped the Jayhawks (23-8, 144) slice a 64-39 deficit at 16:44 to five points, 85-80, at 1:21.

However, West Virginia (17-14, 9-9) — led by the offensive onslaught of Eron Harris (28 points), Juwan Staten (24) and Devin Williams (22) — scored three straight points off Staten free throws to lead 88-80 at :34.

“I never stopped believing in my team. We fought hard until the end, and we almost had it,” said Wiggins, who scored the most points by a Jayhawk since Terry Brown went for 42 against North Carolina State on Jan. 5, 1991. It was the secondbest scoring game by a freshman in Big 12 history, behind only Michael Beasley of Kansas State, who had 44 against Baylor in 2008. Wiggins’ 15 free throws were the most by a Jayhawk since

JAYHAWKS ANDREW WIGGINS, LEFT, JAMARI TRAYLOR and Tarik Black go for a putback bucket over West Virginia forward Kevin Noreen during the second half.

Tyshawn Taylor hit 15 against Kentucky on Nov. 15, 2011.

“I didn’t want it more,” Wiggins said of playing in the state where he led Huntington (W.Va.) Prep to greatness for two seasons. “I want it every game. I play every game like it’s my last, so this is no different from any college game I’ve played this year.”

Still ... “It just shows what I can do when I’m aggressive and attacking.

It puts pressure on the defense,” Wiggins said.

KU coach Bill Self, who showed his displeasure with point guard Naadir Tharpe (no points, no assists, 16 minutes) by playing him just seven min-

utes the second half to Frank Mason’s 15, recognized the special outing

by Wiggins.

“Their big three had 74 on us. Our big one had 41,” Self cracked, “so I thought Andrew probably played as well as he has played all year long. He was plugged into the game. He gets eight rebounds, is our best defender even though we didn’t guard worth a flip.

He had four blocks, five steals. Anytime you get 41 points, which I never did (as guard at Oklahoma State), on 18 shots means you had a pretty good day.

There’s nobody in America will have a better game than what Andrew had today. He was really good.”

Of junior floor general

Tharpe, who missed the only three shots he took, Self said: “He didn’t play as much. I thought he got off to a rough start. He needs to do things probably to help lead us a little bit when things aren’t going well. We tried to play our most competitive guys late. I thought Jamari (Traylor, six points, seven boards, 24 minutes) was terrific with his energy.

“One thing that (49ers coach) Jim Harbaugh spoke to the team about (on Wednesday at shootaround) was, ‘Energy always finds the ball.’

When you think about it, it’s true. We played with more energetic guys late. They did a better job swarming to the ball, and some good things finally happened,” Self said.

Self thought his team might pull this one out after Mason (10 points, two assists) drilled a three at 1:21 to cut the gap to 8580.

“We (Mason) fouled with :02 on the shot clock.

They were going to shoot a bad shot or have to throw one up. We fouled.

It basically went from five to seven (off Staten free throws),” Self said.

“Everything had to go perfect. When one or two

things didn’t go perfect, BOX SCORE it was too much to overcome.”

NOTEBOOK

Embiid to see L.A. back specialist

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Morgantown, W.Va. — Kansas University freshman center Joel Embiid was to fly to Los Angeles today and visit a back specialist on Monday morning, coach Bill Self confirmed to the Journal-World after the Jayhawks’ 92-86 loss to West Virginia on Saturday at WVU Coliseum.

The 7-foot Embiid, who has been bothered by back issues for several weeks now, did not make the trip to Morgantown.

“We wanted to get a second opinion and wanted to send him to the very best authority,” Self said, not identifying the name of the doctor. “He’ll leave on Sunday and see him (doctor) Monday morning.”

Self said he remained hopeful Embiid, who missed Wednesday’s game against Texas Tech, would be available soon.

It is believed surgery will not be needed to correct this back problem.

“Hopefully we get real positive news,” Self said.

“Hopefully he can be on the practice floor very, very soon. We will not put him out there just because he feels better but because the doctors say it’s time to get back out

there. Hopefully it will be real soon. If not, we’ll sit him a little longer. We still don’t think it will affect (his participation in) the NCAA Tournament in any way.”

Embiid’s tweets during the game: “Come on.”

“We got this.” “He’s the best y’all.” l

a point guard, you get to play against the best point guard in the league. To me, you should be up automatically about those things.”

Point guard Juwan Staten had 24 points and nine assists, shooting guard Eron Harris 28 points and three assists.

“We didn’t appear to be as up as we could from an energy standpoint. I don’t want to use that as an excuse. Guys have got to get up; that’s not a factor,” Self said.

Noted forward Jamari Traylor: “We came out flat. You dig a hole like that (25-point deficit), it’s hard to come back against a good team like West Virginia. We tried to show our guys, play all-out and make it a close game but came up short.”

Zip: KU point guard Naadir Tharpe had zero points and zero assists against one turnover in a season-low 16 minutes Saturday.

“I need to make sure I’m ready to play and we all are ready,” Tharpe said. “Everyone as a whole. I need to be better to help the guys as well.”

He said Self told him, “Just be a leader. Try to keep my head up when l things are going wrong.

“I can’t speak for your business. I know in mine he’s not overlooked. I think everybody understands the guy has won everywhere he’s ever been,” Huggins said.

“He’s done phenomenal things at Kansas. But not just Kansas. Look at what he did at Illinois. Look what he did at Tulsa.

Look at what he did at Oral Roberts.”

The Big 12 today will announce its all-league teams, as well as specialty awards, such as coach and player of the year.

Conner Frankamp, sometimes looking as if he aimed his shots, maybe because he was so wide-open, missed all six tries, including four three-pointers.

Frank Mason had his share of freshman moments but also made three of four three-point shots, twice cutting a deficit that had been 25 points to five points in the final 1:29. But the deficit might have shrunk from there had Mason not bailed out Staten by fouling him with a couple of seconds late in the shot clock with 44 seconds left on the game clock. Staten made both and pumped the lead back to seven.

Too little defense — the Mountaineers (17-4, 9-9) shot .529 from the field and .563 from three — and not enough rebounding (West Virginia won that battle, 37-31) — shined a light on Embiid’s absence.

Huggins on Andrew Wiggins: “Generally, when you are going to be the first or second pick in the draft, you are pretty good. He has great athleticism. He’s made plays very few people can make. He missed a layup against Kansas State, came back and tipped it in. He was out of bounds about when he shot it. He jumped back in quicker than everybody else and tipped it in. You don’t see that very often. Those are generally the guys that are the first couple draft picks.” l

He indicated he did not want to sign in the early period so scouts would continue to come to his games and perhaps offer his teammates scholarships even if they are on the Div. II or III levels. l

Tourney talk: Kansas will enter the Big 12 championship (WednesdaySaturday) in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., as the No. 1 seed. The Jayhawks will meet the winner of Wednesday’s No. 8-9 game (Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech) at 2 p.m. Thursday.

West Virginia. ... West Virginia shot 10 free throws before KU went to the line for the first time, which resulted in a three-point play for Perry Ellis at the 9:43 mark in the first half. ... West Virginia had a 25-point lead (64-39) in the second half, KU’s biggest deficit of the season — surpassing the 18-point deficit at Florida.

post-game media session, were asked about how much they missed Embiid. Wiggins hesitated, perhaps trying to formulate an answer that wouldn’t offend Embiid’s replacement, and Traylor stepped in to answer the question.

“We definitely missed him,” Traylor said. “He could have altered some shots in the lane, help us rebound. But like coach said, we’ve got to make plays, and other players have to step up.”

Not enough others did.

Kansas coach Bill Self had no use for another explanation for poor play offered: Having already clinched the Big 12 title, the Jayhawks didn’t have anything for which to play, right?

“I don’t want to use that as an excuse,” he said. “This time of year, guys have got to get up.

That’s not a factor.”

Embiid’s absence and Tharpe’s play were factors, big ones, and it appears KU has one less thing for which to play, a No. 1 seed. No big deal.

Playing as a No. 1 seed doesn’t compare to the boost the team would receive from again playing with No. 21.

Oregon 64, No. 3 Arizona 57 Eugene, Ore. — Jason Calliste made the goahead jumper and free throw with 4:22 left and finished with 18 points as Oregon won its seventh straight.

Johnathan Loyd added 16 points for the Ducks (22-8, 10-8 Pac-12) who greatly improved their chances of a bid in the NCAA Tournament.

Aaron Gordon had 21 points for the Wildcats (28-3, 15-3), who had already clinched the Pac-12 regular-season title heading into next week’s conference tournament in Las Vegas.

The Ducks won 13 straight to start the season and got ranked as high as No. 10, but then they lost five straight to tumble out of the poll and fall in the Pac-12 standings.

But Oregon’s six-game winning streak put them back in the conversation for a possible NCAA Tournament bid and gave them their fourth straight season with at least 20 victories.

Fellow seniors Casey Prather (15) and Scottie Wilbekin (13) also reached double figures for the Gators (29-2, 180), who have won 23 straight this season and 32 in a row at home.

No. 2 Wichita State 67, Missouri State 42 St. Louis — Cleanthony Early scored 20 points with three three-pointers and a pair of dunks, and Wichita State improved to 33-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference semifinals.

Tekele Cotton also made three three-pointers for the top-seeded Shockers, who matched the start by Larry Bird and Indiana State in 1979 before they lost to Michigan State and Magic Johnson in the NCAA title game.

Wichita State will be heavily favored against Indiana State or Southern Illinois to make it 34 in a row, which would match the NCAA-record start by UNLV in 199091.

The Shockers, who last won the conference tourney in 1987, took control with a 17-0 run in the first half and topped it with 24 straight points in the second, scoring at will while Missouri State endured droughts totaling more than 15 minutes.

Unruly fans could ruin basketball for all

By Paul Newberry AP National Writer

The incident was shocking, even given all the ugly behavior at college basketball arenas this season: a fan brazenly storming onto the court to confront Hawaii coach Gib Arnold during a game.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Arnold, still looking a bit stunned, said afterward.

Maybe so, but it’s clear that ill-tempered fans are getting bolder and bolder when it comes to what they’ll say — and even do, judging by the stunner Thursday night at Santa Barbara, Calif.

The NCAA and its schools need to buckle down on courtside security and work to tone down the nasty behavior in the stands before something really bad happens.

“This can be very dangerous,” said Gil Fried, a professor and chair of

the Sports Management Department at the University of New Haven.

With March Madness approaching, college hoops has already been marred by plenty of maddening moments: n Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart received a three-game suspension last month for shoving a Texas Tech fan after tumbling out of bounds behind the basket. While Smart clearly crossed the line, the fan wound up apologizing for calling the star player “a piece of crap” and agreed to not attend any more Red Raiders games this season. n The same night Smart went off, Oregon guard Jason Calliste got into a verbal confrontation with at least one Arizona State student late in the first half of a game in Tempe, and another student was accused of spitting on two staffers of Ducks coach Dana Altman during halftime.

While Arnold was arguing with the officials, 100 percent safety at any sporting event, and a young man wearing a basketball is especially Class of ’14 T-shirt and problematic because of believed to be a student the proximity of fans to at UC Santa Barbara, charged out of the stands the court and the lack of to get right in the coach’s any barriers between the face. The fan was shoved stands and the playing away by two of Arnold’s area. Outside of putting up some sort of fencing players and quickly retreated to the stands. He — and no one is sug-

gesting that as a serious option — it’s basically impossible to halt someone who is really intent on getting to the court.

But the incident at Santa Barbara did seem to reveal a lack of adequate security, which could be more of an issue at smaller schools that don’t have a lot of wiggle room in their budgets.

The fan got to the court without the least bit of trouble, and there was never any sign of an officer until he had already sprinted back to his seat.

In fact, it could have been a lot worse, because the Hawaii players showed commendable restraint in protecting their coach but not turning the incident into a full-blown donnybrook.

Mark Conrad, director of the sports business program at Fordham University, said teams and schools have actually made great strides to cut down on bad behavior, noting it used to be com-

monplace for thousands to storm the field of play after important wins, with little consequence for their actions. These days, there are strict codes of conduct, with fans running the risk of everything from arrest to being stripped of their season tickets when they violate the rules.

The NCAA had no comment on the latest incident, calling it a conference matter. That won’t do any longer.

Everyone needs to sit down after the season — assuming we make it through without anything else happening — and come up with some additional measures to deal with unruly fans. It might be setting up more family sections closer to the court, and pushing students farther away from the action. It might be coming up with some sort of financial tool to supplement the security budgets at smaller schools.

“SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED,” AN INK PRINT BY RALPH STEADMAN AND SHOT BY WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, is one of the pieces for sale at this year’s Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Art Auction, which kicks off Friday. Pictured below are various artworks that will be on display and for sale during the auction.

he Lawrence Arts Center’s 34th annual Benefit Art Auction is about to begin, and with it comes excitement, exhaustion and high levels of anxiety, says exhibitions director Ben Ahlvers.

Featuring 150 art works, this is one of the Arts Center’s largest visual arts events and the primary funding source for the Arts Center’s exhibitions program. If that isn’t already enough to put one on edge, a piece by this year’s featured artist is valued at higher than anything it has ever tried to auction.

William S. Burroughs, whose work has been on display in the “Creative Observer” exhibit for the past couple of months in honor of his 100th birthday, is this year’s featured artist, with three of his works for sale.

His 1993 “Untitled Triptych,” which is three panels of plywood spray-painted and blasted with a shotgun, is valued at $50,000, the price set by the William S. Burroughs estate. Live auction bidding will begin at $30,000.

One of Roger Shimomura’s paintings featured in the 2011 auction, valued at $12,000, comes closest to this value, Ahlvers says.

“We got over retail for that one, and I was stunned,” he says.

Burroughs’ two other works in the auction — “Something New Has Been Added,” an ink print collaboration with Ralph Steadman, and a diptych collaboration work with Keith Haring — are valued at $6,000 and $8,000, respectively.

More ‘300’ nonsense, and Marx Madness!

U

sing the overtly stylized, CGIheavy parameters created by the director Zack Snyder’s “300” back in 2007, “300: Rise of an Empire,” which is produced and co-written

by Snyder, tells a broader story about the GrecoPersian Wars. Where the first film mainly covered the Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas led 300 Spartans against 300,000 Persians, the new movie portrays lots of bloody battles that both preceded and followed “300.”

Perhaps I shouldn’t have used the word “story” at all. Where “300” used the already clichéd “Braveheart”-style rallying speech seven years ago, “300: Rise of an Empire” ups the ante with — count ‘em — four of these pre-battle pump-up moments.

Hitting the same story beat four times in one movie isn’t very common (and a really bad idea), but “300: Rise of an Empire” isn’t concerned with telling a story so much as it’s on a rinseand-repeat cycle of purging as much CGI blood as possible and one-upping the last big battle.

The tone of this violent, hard-R film is again dead serious, with Lena Headley (“Game of Thrones”) providing a heavy amount of portentous narration to tie the gratuitous battle scenes together as Queen Gorgo, Leonidas’ widow. The buff lead actor who again gets to parade around in a cape

SCENE STEALERS

2007, however, this style of action has become pretty commonplace, so most of “300: Rise of an Empire” seems like old hat, even if some attempt has been made to make it darker — not just in terms of skies, which never see the sun, but also in overall dreariness.

Putting on 3-D sunglasses darkens the screen even more, of course, so I found myself removing them several times during the movie so I could see more clearly. That was also because of the confusing

barrage of blurry backgrounds — which might have amplified the more “soft focus” soap-opera aspects of the story, had there been one.

Flaming embers and tiny particles of dust float also around in almost every scene to the point of distraction. I suppose they are meant to give depth to the 3-D images, but there’s plenty of time during any number of hollow monologues about freedom for the mind to wander.

Even with a running time shorter than “300,” this sequel feels long, especially when Green isn’t onscreen. Snyder — the director who ruined “Watchmen” and Superman (and showed his true colors in the offensive faux girl-power man fantasy “Sucker Punch”) — has been called a visionary by his publicists, but “300: Rise of an Empire” proves one thing: If his “vision” can be this easily replicated by another director, he ought to get a new one.

Marx Madness!

I love the fact that Liberty Hall is using March Madness as an excuse to play the anarchic comedy classics of the Marx brothers every Tuesday night this month.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Mr. Peabody’ still has history lessons for Sherman and the rest of us

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tribune News Service

With “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” Dreamworks Animation sets its “Wayback Machine” to the early 1960s and charmingly revives one of the most popular features of the old “Rocky & Bullwinkle Show” — the one about a dog, and his boy.

This winning, witty and warm cartoon captures the flavor, the tone and some of snappy pace of the TV shorts that began with the droll voice of Bill Scott intoning, “Peabody here, my boy, Sherman ...”

Mr. Peabody is a Nobel Prize-winning pooch who “invented the fist-bump, auto-tune and Zumba,” and then adopted Sherman. He’s given the boy, now 7, a head-start on school by taking the kid time-traveling. The Wayback Machine has, we can see from the photos decorating their apartment walls, allowed Sherman to meet everyone from Gandhi to Einstein, Leonardo to the Wright Brothers. He’s given Van Gogh painting suggestions, caught a Jackie Robinson home run and short-circuited Ben Franklin.

“Where are we going today, Mr. Peabody?”

“Not where, Sherman.

When.”

As long as Sherman keeps this a secret, nobody will be the wiser as to why he knows, for a fact, that George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree. Of course, Sherman can’t keep a secret — not even from the mean girl, Penny, who bullies him.

And that’s when the

The movie drops in on The Trojan War. Fans of the old Jay Ward TV show may take longer in adjusting to the new voices — Ty Burrell of “Modern Family” is a droll-enough Peabody, Max Charles (“The Neighbors”) is Sherman.

But the witty word play and the pull-out-all-stops supporting cast start to pay off.

Patrick Warburton is WAY over the top as the Greek King Agamemnon, Stanley Tucci’s fractured Italian makes him the perfect Leonardo, Mel Brooks is Einstein, and so on.

The movie takes a while to find its footing, but then the laughs come fast and furious. (“Who died and made you Pharaoh?” in Egypt.)

The animated details of this Rob Minkoff (“The Lion King”) comedy are a 3-D feast for the eyes.

The canvas wings of a Da Vinci glider ripple in the breeze, and when Pea-

body entertains Penny’s parents (Leslie Mann, Stephen Colbert, a hoot) with a little Jimi Hendrix, he even plays Jimi’s Fender upside down.

Things drag, here and there. But kids will dig the slapstick and the talking dog and giggle at what flies out of the Sphinx’s butt, or drops from the rear-end of the Trojan Horse. Adults will be tickled at the usual Dreamworks parade of one-liners, running gags and puns, and feel a little sentimental, especially if you’re old enough to know the true lesson these characters taught us on TV — the “moral of the story,” as they used to say: “Every dog should have a boy.”

Besides classic bits of physical comedy — including the famous mirror scene where Harpo and Groucho follow each others’ movements to a T — “Duck Soup” has the most pointed satire of any of the Marx films.

It pokes merciless fun at sacred cows like nationalism and other ridiculous reasons for war at a time when tensions and troops were building up in Europe for World War II. The brothers’ first MGM picture, “A Night at the Opera,” is showing March 18, and its followup “A Day at the Races” is playing March 25 at Liberty Hall.

BASKETBALL FANS MIX IN THE POWER & LIGHT DISTRICT near the Sprint Center during the 2010 Big 12 tournament.

This year’s tournament will be held Friday through Sunday.

KC CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

To boldly go where KU has gone before

S

pring is almost here, and downtown Kansas City is poised to host one of the most action-packed weekends of 2014 thanks to two very different cultural phenomena: College basketball and Star Trek.

Though the two worlds aren’t expected to cross over, you might be able to experience both if you act quickly on tickets.

Basketball, of course, refers to the annual Big 12 basketball tournament at the Sprint Center from March 12 through 15. While tickets are mostly available at this point through StubHub or via on-site scalpers, the entire Power & Light District will be flooded with basketball fans as part of the Big 12 GameDay Street Festival, a kid-friendly event that includes free-throw, halfcourt and three-point shooting contests along with other fun and games throughout the weekend.

The Miller Lite Fan Fest, held in the Power & Light District courtyard, will be open to fans of all ages until 9 p.m., when it becomes 21 and over.

The Fan Fest includes pep rallies, watch parties, food and drinks, and giveaways.

Whether you choose to celebrate in the P&L itself, take part in the games right in front of the Sprint Center or post up in one of the many bars and restaurants within a few blocks of the arena itself, good vibes abound during the Big 12 tournament — especially in the first day or so before half the teams are sent packing.

One big change this year is that the Sprint Center will allow beer and wine sales during the tournament itself, which definitely was lacking at last year’s games. The decision was made in part to get fans into the arena earlier and prevent bottlenecking lines, and to also cut down on binge drinking before the games start.

for photographs Friday through Sunday.

Other events at Planet Comicon include merchandise from comics and costume vendors, an Artists Alley exhibit featuring a wide array of talented illustrators, a gaming center for tabletop games and competitions, and of course plenty of cosplay, with prizes available for best costume. If you haven’t been to a convention like this before, be prepared to be blown away by the amount of time, effort and materials people put into their costumes. The peoplewatching (and superherospotting) at these things is as good as it gets.

In addition to the Enterprise crew, Planetic Comicon will host dozens of celebrity guests, including Sylvester McCoy of “Doctor Who,” Margot Kidder of the “Superman” films, Jewel Staite from “Firefly,” John Ratzenberger of “Cheers” and every Pixar movie, Lee Majors and many others.

A number of panel discussions and workshops will be held each day, ranging from how to break into the comics business to how to build your own R2-D2. Check out the complete schedule of events at planetcomicon.com.

Parade warm-up On Saturday, the 34th annual Brookside St. Patrick’s Warm-Up Parade will wind its way around the half-mile surrounding 65th and Wornall, featuring plenty of “Shamrock Shenanigans” (the theme of this year’s event).

A kid-friendly event that’s technically a “warmup” parade, the festive floats and central location in the city should make it every bit as festive as the holiday itself. The parade starts at 2 p.m. Visit brooksidekc.org for more information.

Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University has opened three new exhibitions in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision and the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In the “Contemporary Reflections: Brown v.

Board After Sixty Years” exhibition, 20 AfricanAmerican artists from Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., explore the lasting significance of the Supreme Court decision, tackling different aspects of the outcome through different mediums.

Some of the artists created pieces celebrating the ruling, while some take a look at the tension and violence that resulted as black kids started to integrate into previously all-white schools. Others look at the consequences of the ruling, such as a loss of communi-

Rights Act. Well-known activists, such as Rosa Parks, are recognized in the illustrations as well as unrecognized civil rights workers who organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott or taught in Freedom Schools.

The third exhibition, “Art for Social Change,” features works from Mulvane’s permanent collection and from the Spencer Museum of Art. Divided into two sections — the 1930s and 1960s and beyond — this social protest art explores the following themes: strikes, breadlines, working conditions of miners, civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights, police brutality, nuclear proliferation and environmental issues.

The exhibitions will be open at the museum, 1700 SW College Ave. in Topeka, for public viewing until June 8. Admission is free.

Some contributing artists have donated portraits of Burroughs in response to his works, and these will pair nicely with the main attraction this year.

Other works run a gamut of mediums, styles and aesthetics. Roger Shimomura, Louis Copt, Molly Murphy and Clare Doveton are just a few core artists contributing pieces again this year. Pieces at the show range from $25 to $50,000, and visitors can expect to see jewelry, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, pottery, paintings and more on display by various practicing artists with a connection to Lawrence.

“It’s a reflection on what the Arts Center does and it’s also reflection of the community that we live in,” Ahlvers says.

“It’s a pretty diverse place in the context of Kansas. I think the auction should reflect that.”

BOOK REVIEW

POET’S SHOWCASE

reading

The Polar Vortex As winter draws to its dreary close, We don our boots and heavy clothes, A quilted coat and furry hat Our mitts and scarf, yes, all of that.

By Elliot Hughes

We slog through sleet, and trudge through snow, And curse the weather as the wind doth blow.

The sun stays hidden from our sight, And hoary frost stays not its bite.

They say the cause is vortex polar.

The rational could not be droller.

If the vortex stayed up where it ought, Our lives would be much less distraught!

“THE SIXTH EXTINCTION,” by New Yorker journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, chronicles mankind’s transformative effects on the landscape and climate — and the effects on other species worldwide.

New Yorker writer examines man-made ‘Sixth Extinction’

By Mary Ann Gwinn The Seattle Times

Daniel Hawkins, The Merc employee, Lawrence “‘This is Your Brain on Music’ (by Daniel J. Levitin).”

Jason Guillams, live music production, Lawrence “‘VALIS’ (by Philip K. Dick).”

Elizabeth Kolbert’s revelatory new book, “The Sixth Extinction,” about the rapid and radical changes man is wreaking on the Earth, is one of those works of explanatory journalism that achieves the highest and best use of the form. After you read it, your view of the world will be fundamentally changed.

Kolbert, a staff writer for The New Yorker, has gone all over the world to walk with, talk with and debrief a cadre of eminent scientists who are tracking humanity’s transformation of our global home. Kolbert builds an effective case that the pace of change is proceeding at a rate that imperils all species, including, eventually, Homo sapiens.

In a lucid and understated style, Kolbert documents the collapse of amphibian populations and of coral reefs. She writes about the mass die-off of millions of bats

in the Northeast, most likely done in by a fungus transported around the world by globalization’s component parts, travel and trade.

She walks in the Peruvian rain forest with research- e r s tracing the effect of global warming, as they track plants that may move upslope at rates of up to 100 feet a year in search of a higher, cooler climate zone.

S h e tells stories of imminent extinction, such as Suci, the Sumatran rhino in the Cincinnati Zoo that can’t ovulate unless she senses there is an eligible male around. In Suci’s case, “the nearest eligible male is 10,000 miles away.”

As “The Sixth Extinction” unfolds, a clear pattern emerges. Mass ex-

tinctions have occurred in the past (there have been five, most recently in the late Cretaceous).

But the current rate of species die-off, caused by man’s exploration and exploitation of the globe, is occurring at an unprecedented rate in geologic time.

Man’s restlessness, his intellect and his appetites are to blame: his propensity to hunt, causing the elimination of most large mammals. His urge to explore.

His will to exploit — the mass clearing of forests, the CO2 emissions that are changing the climate itself. These attributes, which have driven our biological success as a species, have also altered the climate and drastically reduced the range of animal species on Earth.

Kolbert does not chide or condemn. She chronicles man’s indifference (and at times, cruelty) to other life on the planet, but the most disturbing aspect of “The Sixth Extinction” is that most of us are complicit in these die-offs by living without regard for the health of the environment.

Kolbert is an astute observer, excellent explainer and superb synthesizer, and even manages to find humor in her subject matter. But “The Sixth Extinction” is an alarming book. The last chapter, “The Thing with Feathers,” suggests hope, but it is mostly about an endangered Hawaiian crow.

Still — read it. This book gives no easy or even hopeful answers, but it does present some heroes, such as the scientist Tom Lovejoy, a tireless researcher who has greatly slowed the logging of the Amazon.

Maybe this book will put other people of intelligence, heart and will on the same road.

So, Weatherman, please, now heed my cry, Before we humans all suffer and die.

Just take away your vortex horrific And stuff it up your cortex specific!

— Betty Laird, of Lawrence

Kolbert: Climate change ‘part of a bigger story’

By Mary Ann Gwinn The Seattle Times

Shane Lynch, student, Lawrence “‘Iwo Jima: World War II Veterans Remember the Greatest Battle of Pacific’ (by Larry Smith).”

Zoe Jonak, student, Lawrence “‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ (by Margaret Atwood).”

Seattle — Elizabeth Kolbert started her journalism career as a stringer for The New York Times and worked in the trenches there as a political reporter, but once she took a job at The New Yorker and made the environment her specialty, she became an exemplar of explanatory journalism. Her books and articles have won every conceivable journalism and science-writing award.

Good thing she has her bona fides lined up, because her new book, “The Sixth Extinction” is sure to cause a big-time dustup. Kolbert makes a compelling case that the earth is in the middle of a sixth mass extinction, and the cause isn’t any natural act. Man is the culprit, and the pace of species die-off is accelerating at a rate unprecedented in the history of life on Earth.

From massive bat dieoffs in the Northeast to the degradation of the Great Barrier Reef, “The Sixth Extinction” sounds a drumroll of alarm. “It is estimated that one-third of all reef-building corals, a

third of all freshwater mollusks, a third of sharks and rays, a quarter of all mammals, a fifth of all reptiles and a sixth of all birds are headed toward oblivion,” Kolbert writes.

Kolbert answered some questions about the book, the day before its publication.

Q:

You wrote about some of these issues in your 2006 book about global warming, “Field Notes from a Catastrophe.”

What prompted your decision to write this follow-up?

A:

Climate change is just one of the ways that people are changing the planet on a geological scale. Climate change is part of a bigger story.

Q: What has the reception to the book been

in the scientific community, from people who study the issues you are writing about? (Some excerpts have run in The New Yorker.) What have you heard from the people you interviewed?

A: People who work in the field of conservation biology are quite desperate ... They want to get this material out to a wider audience. So far the reaction of those guys has been great. I hope to stay friends with them; I would like to go back out with them. Even to the bat cave.

Q: It seemed that even the experts you featured were alarmed and surprised at the state of change in their chosen fields.

A: One of the things that astonishes people and horrifies them, if that’s the word, is that things are happening that they were taught

Q: Talk about one of the key dynamics in this process: that climate change is forcing movement among plants and animals at the same time man is creating barriers to that movement.

A: We know that in the climate changes of the past ... we know by looking at the record that species can move. What worries scientists about what we’re doing now is that we’re changing the planet really, really fast ... the world has been colder than now, but it hasn’t been this much warmer in a very long time.

We’re putting up barriers (urban development, deforestation, among others), and we’re changing the rules of the game, but we’re putting up a brick wall instead of an open playing field. What will happen as a result, to continue this metaphor, is that a lot of species will end up crashed up against that wall.

Sunday, March 9, 2014

Grandfather determined to sell family heirloom Dear Annie: We are facing an imminent, irreversible mistake with a family heirloom. My husband’s elderly father is determined to sell a generations-old coin collection to a coin shop and then split the money between his three sons.

My husband and his brothers would rather have the coins themselves for the sentimental value. No one involved is in financial trouble of any kind, and all the brothers would do their best to divide the heirlooms fairly.

But when any of them tries to bring it up, their dad’s explosive temper puts an end to the discussion.

The weirdest, most hurtful part is that Grandpa wants my husband to deliver the coins to an unknown third party to sell, and he is keeping them in a sealed

Annie’s Mailbox

box, not even letting our young daughter view them once.

We feel sad that his family may lose this piece of history forever, but I did try to get my husband to stay on friendly terms, as we may not have Grandpa around much longer.

Is there any hope of changing his mind? — Boondoggled in Boise Dear Boondoggled: Has Grandpa had a full medical checkup lately? He doesn’t seem

Fox revives PBS classic ‘Cosmos’ Sunday nights just got bigger — infinitely so. Make no mistake about it, “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” (8 p.m., Fox) is really ambitious, really brilliant to behold, really, really good and kinda, sorta surprising.

What on earth has gotten into Fox? What possessed it to recreate the crown jewel of PBS quality and put it in “The Family Guy” time slot for the next 13 weeks? Why, it was nothing less than “Cosmos” executive producer and “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts this 13-part revamp of the classic 1980 PBS series “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” hosted by the late astronomer, author and evangelist for science Carl Sagan.

Tyson sets about introducing us to his “Ship of the Imagination,” a vehicle for demonstrating our place, indeed our very address, in a vast universe that some theorize might be but one universe among an infinite number. Phrases like “awe-inspiring,” or even “mind-blowing” come to mind, but hardly do this justice.

Much has changed since the first “Cosmos” aired. Sagan, who died in 1996, would probably be delighted, but hardly surprised, that more than a billion people now use smartphones, which are nothing more than pieces of glass connected by a network of satellites and computers. At the same time, he might be surprised and dismayed that a growing number of Americans have come to reject, ignore or deny science and its most basic theories and most glaring evidence.

The mission of “Cosmos” — and it is a noble one — is to put science back at the center of the American conversation.

Tonight’s other highlights

The story so far on “Once Upon a Time” (6 p.m., ABC).

Bishop faces drug charges on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

Shelter from the storm on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC).

Hart and Cohle receive a new tip on the season finale of the excellent drama “True Detective” (8 p.m., HBO).

Emily sabotages herself on “Revenge” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Actor-comedian Marty Ingels is 78. TV newscaster Faith Daniels is 57. Rapper Chingy is 34. Actor Matthew Gray Gubler is 34. Actress Brittany Snow is 28. Rapper Bow Wow is 27. Actor Luis Armand Garcia is 22.

to be entirely rational.

Even if he believes selling the coins would be more equitable than leaving the collection to his children, it is peculiar that he would not want his granddaughter to see them first — unless, of course, Grandpa has already sold many of the coins and doesn’t want anyone to know.

Your husband and his brothers could try to discuss this one more time, together, with their father. But unless Grandpa requires a conservator to handle his affairs, the decision is his.

Dear Annie: We have run into an unbelievable problem trying to travel with a family member who is wheelchair bound due to a debilitating stroke. The hotels seem to have only a single king-size bed in all of their mo-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, March 9: This year you open up to change and diversity more than you have in the past. Your intuition and your emotions point to a new path and to honoring different priorities. If you are single, you need to trust your feelings and act accordingly.

If you are attached, the two of you will be emotional together.

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) Listen to news that could be your wake-up call with an open mind. Pressure could build between you and someone else, but it won’t erupt. Tonight: Close to home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will see a substantial change in how a situation varies and draws different results. Don’t travel too far from home, Tonight: Get grounded.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your sense of direction is such that you seem to be on a different track from many people.

Tonight: Your treat!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You’ll perk up in the morning and suddenly have all the energy one could desire. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Stay in the now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will want some downtime. You might have been social and available until now. Tonight: Only where you want to be.

bility handicap rooms.

None of the rooms with two doubles or two queen-size beds is handicap accessible.

Imagine all of the wheelchair-bound or otherwise disabled folks who need to travel with someone but don’t want to share the same bed.

Surely hotels could think this through better. — Need a Place To Sleep Dear Need: We agree that offering only kingsize beds in handicapaccessible rooms is inadequate, although it is likely an issue of space.

A rollaway bed is often sufficient to make up the difference, but it would make more sense to have two double beds.

Every hotel is different.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Assume a greater role with an older relative. Take this person to breakfast and enjoy his or her company. Tonight: Where the action is.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have the ability to move past a problem in a way that feels right to you. Tonight: Up late.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Logic might not coincide with your emotions and intuition right now. Follow that highly tuned sense of yours, Tonight: Use your imagination.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be more forthright and direct with a family member who often tests your limits. Tonight: Do not be alone.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and follow your mental schedule with selfdiscipline. Tonight: Enjoy all the invitations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You know what to do.

You might go from frolicking around to feeling exhausted. Tonight: Snooze all you want.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You seem to function on a more intuitive level in the morning. Your imagination could take you down a very unusual path. Tonight: Do only what feels right.
