School board chooses next superintendent Kyle Hayden ‘will lead our district to continued excellence’

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Hayden

The Lawrence school board announced late Tuesday that Kyle Hayden will be the next superintendent for

Lawrence Public Schools.

After eight hours of deliberation that concluded shortly before 10 p.m., the board voted 6-0 to select Hayden.

“The board engaged in a very thorough, very difficult

deliberation to narrow our strong finalists to one leader who we all believe will lead our district to continued excellence,” the board said in a statement released Tuesday night.

Hayden, 44, has been in his current position as assistant superintendent of business and operations with the Lawrence school district for the past five years. Prior to that, he was superintendent of the Tonganoxie school district.

Hayden, who was not

available for comment Tuesday night, told the Journal-World on Monday that for him, the superintendent position is where he thinks he could have the biggest impact.

Acclaimed exploration of race is next KU common book

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

“Between the World and Me” by TaNehisi Coates has been selected as the 2016-17 Kansas University common book, and will be given to freshmen and transfer students during orientation

Uncomfortable.

Some Kansas University students will undoubtedly feel that way reading next year’s KU Common Book, and that’s on purpose, says Howard Graham, associate director for academic programs in the Office of First-Year Experience.

In light of the past year’s conversations and protests about race and inclusion on campus, “Between the World and Me” by TaNehisi Coates “fits us right now,” Graham said.

“It’s going to be a book that challenges notions of fairness and equitable treatment,” he said.

the main reasons that Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is asking for the bill is to quiet the criticism that’s often heard when money from those funds, particularly the highway fund, is “swept” into the general LEGISLATURE fund to fill in budget gaps.

“This is taxpayer money,” Sullivan said. “This is not in some sort of special ‘Bank of KDOT.’ I think we need to work to get rid of that particular language, and I think something like this would assist with that.”

Topeka — Hundreds of millions of dollars that flow through state coffers each year that are earmarked for children’s programs, highways and economic development would no longer have that legal protection, under a bill being considered in the Kansas Senate.

Instead, those funds that come from tobacco settlement money, the state lottery, sales taxes and other sources would all be folded into the state general fund so lawmakers could spend them as they wish, or use them Please see FUNDING, page 5A as a regular way to close what have now become routine budget shortfalls. l Legislators moving Kansas Budget Director slowly on budget Shawn Sullivan said one of shortfall.

“I like where we’re headed as a school district,” he said. “I’ve been a part of a lot of the initiatives that have happened over the course of the last several years, and I just want to continue to be part of that.”

Hayden’s wife, Katy, is a teacher at Free State High School, and their three children attend Lawrence schools.

Hayden said Monday that he thought his strong connection to the community and the district set him apart from other candidates for the superintendent position.

Hayden was one of three finalists for the position announced by the board last Friday.

The other finalists were Shellaine Kiblinger, of Hutchinson, and Michael Munoz, of Rochester, Minn.

The finalists met with the board for a second

to serve as civic and community leaders, the study found.

The study, conducted

by Kansas University’s Center for Science Technology and Economic Policy, was commissioned by the Kansas City-based Women’s Foundation and was released Tuesday in conjunction with International Women’s Day. The Women’s Foundation describes itself as a group that “promotes equity and opportunity for women and girls, using philanthropy, research and policy solutions to make meaningful change.” It receives funding from a number of individual donors and large businesses and foundations in the Kansas City area.

“A picture is emerging that the economic challenges faced by women in Kansas create a drag on economic growth and the development of the state,” said Donna Ginther, a KU economics professor and director of the center.

round of interviews on Monday and Tuesday.

School board member Kris Adair was not able to participate in the final interviews or vote to select the superintendent because of a scheduling conflict, according to Julie Boyle, spokeswoman for the district.

Current Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll, 61, announced in November that he would resign his position effective June 30. Doll has accepted a full-time position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University.

On Monday and Tuesday, each finalist also met separately with focus groups of district staff, community members and students whom the board selected. The focus groups provided feedback to the board, which school board President Vanessa Sanburn previously said would be an integral part of the board’s decision.

“We have carefully

considered feedback from teachers, staff, community members, and students which has guided and informed this entire process,” the board’s statement said.

Previous to his time spent working in Tonganoxie, Hayden was a school principal or assistant principal at several secondary schools in Kansas and Texas. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Tabor College, his master’s from Emporia State University and his district leadership license from Fort Hays State University.

“We are confident that Kyle Hayden is the best choice among three exceptional candidates to address our district’s challenges and advance our vision for outstanding student achievement,” the board’s statement concluded.

Boyle said Hayden’s contract will be finalized today, after which more details will be available.

are struggling to make ends meet, fighting for a fair distribution of income and striving to serve society as leaders in business and government,” she said.

The study follows on the heels of a similar study the Women’s Foundation commissioned in 2014 and 2015 examining the status of women in Missouri.

“The research which identified several key areas affecting women and their families has led to numerous policy solutions and has started to show results in the areas of civic engagement, equal pay for equal work, parental leave, and removing barriers for women to excel as entrepreneurs,” said Wendy Doyle, president and CEO of the Women’s Foundation.

Among the highlights of the Kansas report: l While women in Kansas tend to have higher educational attainment than men, those who work full-time, yearround earn, on average, only 79 cents for every dollar a man earns. l Child care costs are 31 percent of female median earnings, and in some counties there are very few child care options. l More than one-third of single-mother house-

Students, staff give send-off to Burge Union

A group of current and former Kansas University Memorial Unions employees, students and staff gathered in the Burge Union on Tuesday to bid the building goodbye.

The doors will be locked for good at the end of the day Friday, with demolition of the 1979 building scheduled to begin around the beginning of April.

About three dozen people attended the ceremony, which also honored the building’s namesake, the late Frank Burge, the longtime Unions director. A goodbye cake and Munchers Bakery mini cinnamon rolls — a treat

Students Jessie Pringle, student body president, and Lauren Arney,

president of the Memorial Unions Corporation Board, removed from the wall the Burge Union’s dedication plaque, to be saved and ultimately dis-

Pringle said student fees and input helped fund and guide the original Kansas Union and the Burge, and will do the same for the future new Central District union, a name for which has yet to be chosen.

KU historian Mike Reid, recently retired as director of public affairs for KU Memorial Unions, recalled when the Burge opened — just in time for the first day of fall classes in 1979.

Baldwin City clears RG Fiber to offer cable Burge

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Baldwin City Council on Monday approved a new franchise agreement with RG Fiber that will allow the gigabit Internet provider to offer cable television service to its customers.

The agreement will allow RG Fiber a rebate of the franchise fee, which equals 5 percent of the revenue it makes from cable service, in return for it providing the city Internet service at a discounted rate, free hookups for city facilities and free Wi-Fi at all city parks.

State and federal laws do not allow franchise fees for Internet service.

RG Fiber CEO Mike Bosch said his company actually wouldn’t be getting into the cable TV industry,

which he viewed as a dying enterprise as more and more people drop cable for such options as Netflix and Hulu, but would offer the service through a partnership with the Emporia company ValuNet. There was still a market in the community for cable and the inability of RG Fiber to offer it was hurting the company’s growth, Bosch said.

“People tell us they still want cable, but only want one bill,” he said.

RG Fiber installed a fiber-optic line to Baldwin City last year and started connecting local customers in December.

Monday’s action also revised an earlier city franchise agreement with RG Fiber that allows the company to use the city’s rights of way. Added to the agreement were provisions that allow the utility to use buried

city conduit that was installed with downtown sidewalk upgrades.

Councilman Dave Simmons voted against the updated agreement, saying he wasn’t comfortable with the rebate arrangement and suggested the agreement be referred the City Council’s utility subcommittee for review.

The other four council members saw no need for such a move because of the benefits it provided the city. The free hookups, discounted service rates and free Wi-Fi in parks would probably be of greater dollar value than the rebates, they said.

Bosch said ValuNet would have to negotiate its own franchise agreement with the city.

Perry-Lecompton fills superintendent vacancy

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Perry-Lecompton school board quickly filled the district’s superintendent vacancy from within.

On Monday, the PerryLecompton school board hired J.B. Elliott, the district’s director of curriculum instruction, for the district’s top job. Current superintendent Denis Yoder announced his intention to retire last month.

Elliott will take over the district reins on July 1.

Elliott first came to the Perry-Lecompton school

district in 2006 as principal of Perry-Lecompton High School. He served in that position until becoming the district’s curriculum director this year.

His challenge as superintendent will be continuing the district’s excellence in trying times, Elliott said. The PLHS class of 2015 recorded an average score of 24.2 on the ACT, which was one of the highest in the state, he said.

“When I come to work every day, my first priority will be working to see

that our students continue to get a quality education and instruction.”

Yoder’s resignation came in the wake of the school board’s decision not to renew the contracts of Perry-Lecompton High School Principal Mike Copple and Assistant Principal Theresa Beatty.

The district established a new drug-testing policy in January mandating random hair tests for students participating in extracurricular activities. District officials said at the time that teachers and most district staff would not

undergo drug testing and that Beatty was twice convicted for drunken driving.

Yoder acknowledged last month that publicity surrounding the new policy played a role in the board’s decision not to renew Copple’s and Beatty’s contracts. The 65-year-old Yoder also told the Journal-World last month that the incident was “not necessarily” the reason for his resignation and that “the time is right to retire.”

The purpose of the coordinating council is to establish goals for public safety programs, increase successful outcomes for long-term offenders, improve identification and analysis of issues in local correctional facilities, improve stakeholder

Trial CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Walker faced charges of aggravated burglary and felony murder, which is a killing that occurs during the commission of a felony. The jury found him guilty of aggravated burglary — the underlying felony — but not of the murder charge.

In December of 2015, again facing a felony murder charge, Walker was tried once more. The jury failed to reach a decision on the charge.

Robinson meanwhile was found guilty in March of 2015 of both first-degree murder and aggravated burglary in Roberts’ death.

He was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

During her opening statement Tuesday, prosecutor Amy McGowan told jurors the evidence shows both Walker and Robinson forcibly entered Roberts’ home with the intention to steal his property. Ultimately, she said, the state’s case “is going to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant committed the aggravated burglary, which is the underlying felony to the felony murder.”

Following McGowan, Defense Attorney Blake Glover told the jury the evidence illustrates a different scenario, one in which Walker and Robinson did not break into Roberts’ home, but went there to buy marijuana, thus nullifying the underlying felony.

“At the end of all this, what the evidence is going to show is that this was not an aggravated burglary; it was a drug

Second candidate files for County Commission seat A second Republican has entered the race for the 3rd District Douglas County Commission seat.

Jim Denney filed Tuesday for the 3rd District position, which represents western Douglas County, including southwestern and western Lawrence

deal gone bad,” he said.

Throughout the day the prosecution called two witnesses from Roberts’ family, four from the Lawrence Police Department and one from a Kansas coroner’s officer who confirmed that a single gunshot to the abdomen killed Roberts and that the manner of his death was classified as a homicide.

Roberts’ son, Michael Neis-Roberts, and younger brother, Wayne Roberts, who were both living in the duplex during the incident, were first to take the stand and testify to their recollection of the events.

Neis-Roberts, who was 16 at the time of his father’s death, told jurors he went to bed around midnight on March 7, 2014, on a futon in the duplex’s living room. Around 3 a.m. the next morning he awoke to a “really loud banging” on the front door, he said.

The banging became louder, and just as NeisRoberts was about to see who was outside, the door “burst” open, he said. Then “two men came in, one carrying a handgun.”

Neis-Roberts identified Walker as the armed man, pointing to him in the courtroom.

Both men entered his father’s bedroom, where Neis-Roberts said he heard one man ask “where is it?” To which, he said, his father replied.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then came a single gunshot.

Wayne Roberts, who was asleep in his own bedroom across the duplex, said the gunshot woke him up. He put on his shorts and rushed across the living room to his brother’s room, where he said he struggled with the armed

precincts and the communities of Lecompton, Clinton, Stull, Lone Star and Worden.

Denney is the second candidate to enter the 3rd District race with news that incumbent Jim Flory, also a Republican, would not seek a third four-year term. Michelle Derusseau announced last month her plans to Denney run for the seat.

Denney served as director of Douglas County Emergency Communications from 1997 to his retirement in 2008. He is a three-year member of the Lawrence/Douglas County Planning Commission.

man, whom Neis-Roberts identified as Walker.

During the struggle Wayne Roberts said another shot was fired and Walker dropped his gun before breaking free and running out of the duplex with Robinson.

Wayne Roberts said he recalled telling his mother, who was also living in the duplex, to call the police before he followed both men out of the home for a short distance.

Both men were arrested nearby later that morning, officers later testified.

After responding to a call reporting the shooting, Lawrence Police Officer George Baker told jurors he found Walker near the intersection of 25th Street and Ridge Court.

“On his pants there were what I consider a large amount of blood,” he said.

Walker was then placed under arrest.

Lawrence Police Officer Josh Leitner said he

and others found Robinson off West 25th Street, west of Iowa Street.

“As I was patting him down I observed blood on his shirt and blood on his pants,” Leitner said.

“He wasn’t wearing any shoes. He had socks on, but no shoes,” he later added.

Robinson was also placed under arrest.

Following questions from the prosecution, Glover asked each officer whether Walker or Robinson had any drugs, electronics or “any property at all that seemed out of place at that time.”

The officers all said they found nothing of the sort.

Walker’s trial is set to continue at 9 a.m. today.

He remains an inmate at the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $1 million cash or surety bond.

Building a Legacy

The nondescript brick building has provided many services through the years but has never really been maximized, a key reason it’s being razed in favor of a more usable building.

“That is one problem we’ve always had with this building, is recognition of it,” Reid said. “It just never took off ... it doesn’t stand out at all.”

The Burge closing sets off a musical chairs-like shuffling of a number of offices that have called the union home. Some will be coming back to the new building, others won’t.

“I’m certain one of the things we want to do is that if this is the location, we make sure we have made the correct decision on where traffic goes, what the impact is going to be, what the environmental concern is going to be,” Mayor Mike Amyx said.

“We have gone through this before.”

The Lawrence Transit System has been searching for a new location for its central transfer hub for more than two years.

Lot 90 was selected after the City Commission rejected in July the most recent plan, to locate a transit center at 21st Street and Stewart Avenue. At the time, commissioners directed Robert Nugent, the city’s transit administrator, to look for a location in KU’s Central District, which is undergoing a $350 million renovation.

Nugent and KU representatives settled on Lot 90 after deeming a spot in the Central District unfeasible.

Before applying to a U.S. Department of Transportation grant by the end of April, Nugent and KU officials will prepare preliminary plans, renderings and an estimated budget for the project, as well as an analysis on how the facility would affect traffic.

That process will start immediately, Nugent said, as will outreach to residents near the proposed site.

Steve Evans, with the University Place Neighborhood Association, spoke to commissioners Tuesday, saying the group wanted to be a part of the planning process.

The neighborhood is east of Lot 90, bounded by 19th Street to the South,

“So far, we’ve had comments all over the place, both positive and ‘What is this monster that’s going to be happening near our neighborhood?’” Evans said.

KU will install a traffic signal and build the north section of Ousdahl Road, and the city will be responsible for financing the remainder of the intersection. In an effort to prevent traffic to and from KU from cutting through the residential area south of 19th Street, planners decided vehicles traveling on Ousdahl would only be able to make right or left turns onto 19th Street. l Voted 3-0 to hire a firm to do a study on whether a bike-share program is feasible in Lawrence.

GOP lawmakers push bill to reverse income tax cut Topeka (ap) — A tax break for Kansas business owners championed

by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback would be reversed under a proposal introduced Tuesday by three influential GOP state senators.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, of Independence, and Sens. Jim

Denning and Greg Smith, both from Overland Park, described their proposal as a tax fairness measure that also would help the state balance its budget.

Denning is vice chairman of the budget-writing Ways and Means Committee, and Smith serves on two budget subcommittees.

Their bill would undo a 2012 policy exempting more than 330,000 farmers and business owners from state income taxes.

The senators’ proposal would tax 70 percent of their income going forward. The senators didn’t have an estimate for how much their proposal would raise annually.

The state has struggled to balance its budget since lawmakers slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy.

Critics of the business tax cut argue that it’s unfair because doctors, lawyers and other professionals escape income taxes

when their employees don’t.

“We are going to have long-term budget challenges unless we fix the gaping hole in our tax code, the part of our tax code that is rife with unfairness,” King said.

But Jeff Glendening, a lobbyist for the antitax group Americans

for Prosperity, said the income tax exemption helps job creators who take high financial risks to start their businesses and keep them going.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the governor “will not support or call for a tax increase on small business in Kansas.”

Legislators move slowly on looming budget shortfall

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A week after the Kansas Department of Revenue announced a $54 million shortfall in February revenues, lawmakers appear unsure of what to do next.

With only three and a half months left in the fiscal year, some are hoping to find immediate savings from a consulting firm’s efficiency report, while others say it’s up to Gov. Sam Brownback to solve the problem.

That shortfall put the state’s projected ending balance for this year $47 million in the hole. But Brownback immediately ordered $17 million in cuts to the state’s six Regents universities, which lowered the projected deficit to about $30 million.

“Right now, the way things are structured, it’s on the governor’s back to do the cuts,” said Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita, who serves on the House Appropriations Committee. “That’s what he asked for. That’s what he got.”

Hutton was referring to

Funding CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Starting in July 2018, Senate Bill 463 would end the automatic transfer of more than $500 million a year in sales tax money into the state highway fund in the Kansas Department of Transportation.

“The way that we do it now (implies) that sales tax money is KDOT’s money, but it’s taxpayer money,” he said. “It is not the motor fuel taxes or gas taxes that have to stay in the highway fund.”

It would also eliminate four other special revenue funds that receive dedicated revenue: l The Kansas Endowment for Youth, or KEY, fund and the Children’s Initiative Fund, two related funds that receive about $50 million to $60 million a year from the state’s share of tobacco settlement money. And while the Children’s Cabinet, which now supervises those funds, would continue to exist, its role would change so that it would only recommend appropriations up to $50 million a year for children’s programs. l The Economic Development Initiatives Fund, which receives more than $20 million a year in state lottery proceeds. l And the Expanded Lottery Act Revenue Fund, which takes in about

the recently passed budget bill that gives Brownback greater authority to make targeted spending cuts, or to transfer money between funds, if forecasts show the ending balance for the current fiscal year will fall below zero.

He also has authority to delay the state’s final quarter payment into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, although that money would have to be repaid with interest in the next fiscal year that begins July 1.

“As the bleeding continues, I think the pressure will be on the governor to do more and more,” Hutton said. “He was offered better solutions last year that he rejected. So he’s going to have to deal with it or change his tune.”

Brownback’s office did not respond Monday to questions about the budget situation.

Hutton was among a number of Republican lawmakers last year who encouraged at least a partial roll-back of a controversial tax cut enacted in 2012 that exempts more than 330,000 business owners from pay-

ing any state income tax on their business income.

But Brownback threatened then to veto any such legislation, and he has ruled out any type of tax increase this year as well.

Others in the Legislature, though, say the problem is not with the tax code but with the state’s sluggish economy, particularly in agriculture, the oil and gas industries, and aviation.

“This is economic,” said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson. “By and large, when you look at it, we have our top three industries in the state of Kansas not performing how we’d like.”

Although it is true that those industries have suffered the last couple of years, economic numbers show that two of them are no longer the major forces driving the Kansas economy that they once were.

According to the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis, for the last four years, agriculture has accounted for only about 4 to 6 percent of the gross state product in Kansas. Mining, which includes oil and gas

production, has accounted for less than 2 percent.

Going as far back as 2012, before the recent collapse of oil and gas prices, severance taxes from those sources made up only 1.7 percent of state general fund revenues.

But the manufacturing sector, which makes up a larger share of the state’s economy, has taken a significant hit in recent years, in part because of declines in aircraft manufacturing around Wichita.

In fact, while manufacturing has grown more than 13 percent nationally from 2012 through the third quarter of 2015, in Kansas it declined by more than 12 percent.

On Monday, several House committees held hearings that will continue through the week, sifting through the recent efficiency study from the consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal, looking for any opportunity for savings.

“Part of the mix will be the efficiency study, and money we can put in from the efficiency study,” said House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg.

$82 million a year from casino gaming in Kansas.

Sen. Ty Masterson, RAndover, who chairs the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said that when the governor or the Legislature takes money out of the highway fund to balance the budget, “it’s looked at as theft.” But if the money were given directly to the general fund in the first place, and the Legislature then appropriates what it thinks is needed in the highway fund, then it would be viewed as normal.

“It’s certainly hard to report on from a newspaper or TV perspective,” he said. “That in effect creates the deception to the public.”

But several organizations that rely on funding from those dedicated funds testified against the bill, arguing that it would put funding for those programs in jeopardy.

Erick Vaughn, executive director of the Kansas Head Start Association, said merging the tobacco settlement money into the general fund could put future funding for early childhood education programs at risk.

“There is no guarantee that future legislatures will appropriate money from the state general fund for early childhood programs,” he said. Setting aside tobacco settlement dollars in the KEY fund and the CIF designates them for their intended purpose.”

Masterson took exception to that argument, saying legislators are elected by voters to make decisions about how money is spent.

But Vaughn fired back, saying he believes there is another motivation for the bill.

“The elephant that’s not being talked about in the room is the decreased revenues and needing to fill that hole,” he said.

Masterson quickly interrupted, though, saying, “That’s your perception, that it’s somehow a drive toward revenues to fill a hole. That’s not what the bill does.”

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children, which advocates for children’s program funding, said she believes the administration’s real aim is to go even further, and includes plans to sell off the state’s future share of tobacco settlement money for a one-time payment, a process known as “securitization.”

“It’s my understanding that a proposal has been developed to sell our tobacco settlement proceeds for $400 million, forfeiting the entire revenue stream upon which our entire early childhood system rests, at a time the state can least afford to pick up the tab for those programs,” she said.

Asked later about that comment, Sullivan confirmed that the administration had received a

presentation about securitizing the state’s future tobacco settlement payments, as 20 other states have done.

“But that doesn’t mean we’re going to do it,” he said.

Meanwhile, Travis Stryker, of the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers, said he feared the bill would threaten funding for the Kan-Grow Engineering Fund, which distributes $10.5 million in casino revenues each year evenly between Kansas University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University for their engineering programs.

“It is essential Kansas has programs in place to create and retain a professional workforce,” he said. The engineering program plays a substantial part in the future of our state.”

The committee only heard testimony on the bill Tuesday. Masterson did not indicate when the committee might vote on the bill.

Have risk factors for kidney disease? Get tested Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease five years ago during an annual physical at the age of 79. I did not have hypertension, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease — the distinctive risk factors for kidney disease — although my age should have been a red flag.

Looking back on my medical history, it turns out my kidney numbers were abnormal for some time. I was told that the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs may have caused my kidney damage. It was a surprise to me that such a common drug did more harm than good.

Since then, I’ve stopped the use of NSAIDs, but I feel many other people might be in the same boat I was in.

I hope you can spread the word to help others keep their kidneys

NSAIDs (such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Celebrex and other commonly used pain relievers) don’t generally pose a problem for most people who use them in small doses on occasion. But there can be side effects, especially if you use the drugs for weeks at a time. They can cause bleeding ulcers, fluid retention, rashes,

Underground Railroad comes to TV Featuring an impossible trek against incredible odds, “Underground” (9 p.m., WGN, TV14) retells an incendiary story at the heart of our country’s history. Given all that, why hasn’t the story of the Underground Railroad been turned into a TV series before? That’s a question that goes to the heart of our culture, entertainment history and commonly accepted national narrative.

Set in 1857, “Underground” follows a group of slaves who embark on the forbidding task of escaping their Georgia plantation and walking more than 600 miles through deeply unfriendly territory to arrive in northern states and Canada.

Aldis Hodge stars as Noah, the slave who sets the great escape in motion. Other cast members include Christopher Meloni as August Pullman, a man of many secrets whose morality and motivations are always hard to read.

Amirah Vann portrays Ernestine, the matriarch of the “house” slaves, fiercely protective of her daughter, Rosalee (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), whose naive notions about her protected status evaporate at the bitter end of whip.

“Underground” has the difficult task of laying out the social pecking order within the slave world and the social stratification of the slave-owning society, from the plantation plutocrats to the poor illiterate men who brutally hunt down fugitive slaves.

Into this world arrives John Hawkes (Marc Blucas), an idealistic abolitionist lawyer, and Elizabeth (Jessica De Gouw), his fragile, infertile wife who withers amid the heat, humidity and rampant racism. In a ludicrous departure from history, Hawke’s plantation-owning brother embraces him as part of his Senate campaign.

That doesn’t seem likely, given John’s politics.

With all this going on, is it wise to inject 21st-century pop music into the mix? The script also careens from the exalted language of freedom and liberation to rather banal utterances worthy of a soap opera. There’s no effort to approximate mid19th-century dialogue, so both the script and soundtrack rattle with anachronisms.

“Underground” features a narrative powerful enough to transcend these quibbles. Its story is still subversive and inflammatory 150 years after Appomattox, a century beyond “The Birth of a Nation,” two generations removed from “Gone With the Wind” and nearly 40 years after “Roots.”

and kidney and heart problems. If you are taking any anti-inflammatory, over-the-counter drugs, please let your doctor know.

Kidney disease often goes undetected, because symptoms may not appear until the kidneys are close to failure. The good news is that early detection and proper treatment can slow the progression of kidney disease.

Inspiring legacy KU and Lawrence will miss Marilyn Stokstad but her contributions as a teacher, writer and philanthropist will live on.

M

arilyn Stokstad is the kind of respected and dedicated faculty member who changes a university forever.

She died last week at the age of 87, but her legacy will live on through her scholarship, her generous support of Kansas University and generations of art history students who were fortunate enough to experience her teaching.

A tribute released this week by the KU art history department recalls that when Stokstad joined the KU faculty in 1958, art history was taught only under the umbrella of the School of Fine Arts. By 1961, Stokstad had established art history as its own department, which she chaired while also acting as director of the KU Museum of Art then located in Spooner Hall. She was the first woman to serve as an associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and later held two distinguished professorships in art history.

Stokstad loved KU but also could be candid about its flaws. She noted, for instance, that the university wasn’t a particularly welcoming place for a woman faculty member in the 1950s and ’60s.

In her teaching and writing, as well as her administrative roles, she always promoted and supported women artists and students and never hesitated to stand up for the rights of women to advance and be recognized for their achievements. She was a member of the February Sisters, which occupied KU’s East Asian Studies Building in 1972 to protest inequality for women at KU. In her teaching, as well as her books, she featured women artists who had been largely overlooked by other scholars.

Among her books is “Art History” — first published in 1995 and now is in its seventh edition — which is a standard text for art history survey courses around the world. Whether they ended up working in art history or simply being enriched by a better understanding of art, generations of students fed on her enthusiasm.

In addition to sharing her knowledge, Stokstad also generously supported many KU entities with philanthropic gifts. She helped found the Emily Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Women’s Leadership Lecture and provided important financial support to the Hall Center for the Humanities, the Spencer Museum of Art and the Kenneth Spencer Research Library and other KU efforts.

Stokstad’s energy was legendary. She traveled extensively to view and talk about art — and sometimes to support KU athletic teams. She was an avid Jayhawk fan and a great friend. It’s sad that she’s no longer with us, but her influence and contributions epitomize a life well-lived.

They were words Ronald Reagan repeatedly used when referring to something that happened long before he spoke his most famous four words: “Tear down this wall.” The other four words described the most important event in his eventful life, an event without which Reagan probably would never have been in a position to bring down the Berlin Wall: “Then along came Nancy.”

If she had not come along, he would not have come to the place he now occupies in history and in the hearts of his countrymen.

When filling out forms that ask if one is married, many people perfunctorily check that box. The Reagans should have put not a check mark but an exclamation point: They were the most married couple imaginable.

Ronald was a reproach to every husband who does not write love notes to his wife as they sit together in evening repose. It was a remarkable woman who could elicit such private devotion from a public man with presidential preoccupations.

Reagan’s strength was reflected in his preternatural cheerfulness, which flowed from his marriage. Politics requires the patience, endurance and serenity that a happy marriage can confer.

“

Ronald Reagan was a friendly man who used friendliness as a buffer, keeping the world at a distance from his sphere of privacy. He had one true friend, and he married her.”

In a democracy, politics is a team sport. Parties are teams; congressional caucuses are teams; campaigns are teams. But often the most important team is the smallest, a harmonious marriage. The presidency has had three especially historyshaping partnerships: Abigail and John Adams, Dolley and James Madison, Nancy and Ronald Reagan.

Much, but not too much, has been made of Nancy’s protectiveness, her steely devotion to her husband’s interests. With her in mind, one occasionally wonders whether the reason most societies have refused to allow women in combat is not that women are too frail for combat but that they are too

fierce for it: They would not obey the rules.

Ronald Reagan was a friendly man who used friendliness as a buffer, keeping the world at a distance from his sphere of privacy. He had one true friend, and he married her.

She understood his amiable propensity for thinking the best of everybody, a mistake she did not make.

Her cool public persona and occasionally icy decisiveness sometimes obscured her warmth, her capacity for fun and her sly wit. She revealed the latter, for example, when describing a problem of Hollywood manners.

What should you do, she asked, when you are invited to the home of an actor or director for a private screening of his newest movie — and the movie is dreadful? What do you say to your anxious host when he asks your opinion of his handiwork? Nancy impishly explained: You fix your host with an earnest gaze and exclaim, “You’ve done it again!” Her husband was not the only master politician living on the second floor of the White House.

Nancy bore the brunt of much criticism from people who were inclined but reluctant to assail her husband. She did not enjoy these slings and arrows, but she was shrewd enough to be stoical about her role as alternative target. Today, in the midst of an unusually

unseemly political season, it is salutary to remember that Nancy was faulted for what some considered her excessive interest in decorum and elegance in public life.

Now she goes to a grave on a hill, where she joins the love of her life. Atop that hill sits the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library. Emerson said that any institution is the lengthening shadow of a man. This library is the lengthening shadow of the woman who channeled through it her devotion that was undimmed through 12 years without her husband.

He spoke often of America as a shining city on a hill, words first used long ago to describe the American aspiration at a time when the nascent nation was a few hardy people on the continent’s rocky Atlantic shore.

The hill to which Nancy now goes overlooks the sundappled Pacific shore of a nation grown great not just in size but in moral stature because of its fidelity to principles that the Reagans defended together.

For generations to come, Americans will continue to climb that hill in Simi Valley to renew their devotion to the nation. And to one another, moved by the luminous example of two people who changed the world as, and because, they moved through it as one.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 9, 1916: years “It is indicative ago of conditions in IN 1916 North Lawrence today, that a man who has a number of vacant lots on Locust street has withdrawn them from market at present, wishing to hold them for the advance in price that he feels sure is going to come. All over North Lawrence there is a wide-awake spirit which seems to say that at last the North side is coming into its own and is going to hold its own with the other parts of the city in improvements, industry and homes.”

State’s criminal justice system is broken

By Edith Guffey

Our criminal justice system is broken.

But right now, if we lift our voices, we have a real chance to make it better.

There is a growing, bipartisan consensus in Kansas that we’re putting too many people in jail and prison, and we’re putting them there for the wrong reasons.

I’ve been a denominational leader in the United Church of Christ for nearly 25 years. My faith tells me that we’re making a serious mistake with policies that promote mass incarceration. We have Guffey work to do to address decades of policies and neglect that have resulted in an unequal and ineffective criminal justice system.

I deeply believe in justice, reconciliation and redemption. We see it in our churches and in our communities regularly. People can be restored and transformed, but they need systems that support and encourage transformation, not barriers that block and prevent it. The gospel teaches us that we are all children of God, and when we look at those who have been incarcerated, we are still looking at the children of God. Today, our jails and prisons are overcrowded with non-violent drug offenders and with people with mental illness. They don’t belong there. And that’s why I support comprehensive and common-sense reforms that will

YOUR TURN make our communities safer and put more people into programs that can help them transform their lives.

Since 1978, Kansas’ prison population has exploded, from about 2,300 to nearly 10,000 people in 2014. And without smart reform, that number is going to continue to grow.

There’s also a tremendous racial disparity in Kansas prisons. While African Americans and Hispanics make up 17 percent of the state’s population, they account for nearly half of the prison population.

It’s not right and we have to fix it.

There’s a growing consensus about what we can do to make things better.

Here is a list: l We need to reduce sentences for non-violent drug offenders. The socalled War on Drugs hasn’t worked, and as the epidemic has reached into more and more families and communities, we know that there is a better way. l Diversion programs can help those facing minor drug charges to successfully address their addiction.

Such programs are much more effective and less costly than prison. l Jail and prison are not places for the mentally ill, we have turned prisons into holding tanks for people who need help. Once locked away, it becomes harder and harder for persons with mental illness to get the help needed to stabilize their lives; help that can be provided more effectively and at less cost in their communities.

l We need to improve programs for those who are released from prison to re-enter the community. There are not adequate programs and resources in place to support successful re-entry.

The lack of supportive re-entry programs too often leads to re-offending. l Reduce the use of solitary confinement, which can be devastating, particularly to the mentally ill. l We need to ensure that just being accused of a crime does not result in inappropriate seizure of personal property. l And perhaps most importantly, we need to ensure that justice serves all Kansans equally and treats all of our communities fairly. Good public policy comes from having good information so we need to strengthen data collection around arrests to ensure that persons of color are not unfairly targeted.

We know that our current system is broken, and the challenge we face is to literally restore justice to the criminal justice system. We will benefit from these reforms, the state will save money, our communities will be safer and the citizens of Kansas will have a system that seeks to embody a commitment to justice for all.

There is new energy and a new opportunity for us to work together to make these important reforms happen.

People of faith must be part of this important work for all of God’s children.

She had been poised for the prize: Hillary Clinton hoped wins in Michigan and Mississippi would make her all but certain to claim the Democratic presidential nomination she lost to Barack Obama eight years ago. But Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders narrowly won Michigan in an upset that ensures a longer campaign.

The first primary in the Rust Belt and the last one in the Deep South on Tuesday set the stage for a more crucial and potentially decisive set of contests in both parties next week in the electoral behemoths of Florida and Ohio, as well as Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina.

As the primary season heads toward its final phase, the two front-runners seem to be living in alternate political realities.

Zika concerns take a new turn Sexual transmission more common than thought, WHO says Liz Szabo

@LizSzabo USA TODAY

Sexual transmission of Zika is more common than previously thought, the World Health Organization said Tuesday. But scientists still have a number of questions about the first mosquito-borne disease known to spread through sex, including how long it can last in semen.

Investigations in several countries “strongly suggest” the virus spreads through sex more often than scientists assumed, said WHO director-general Margaret Chan, who spoke after convening a meeting of the group’s emergency committee.

The U.S. is investigating more than a dozen possible cases of

sexually transmitted Zika.

Mosquitoes spread the vast majority of infections, but the reports could signal difficulty ahead in keeping tabs on the growing epidemic linked to major birth defects and a condition that causes paralysis.

Determining how often sexual transmission occurs is difficult in nations such as Brazil, where an estimated 1 million people have been infected with Zika, the CDC’s Lyle Petersen said at a meeting last week of the Pan American Health Organization, part of the WHO. It’s easier to track occasional cases of sexual transmission in the USA or Europe, where the disease isn’t currently spreading through local mosquitoes.

The virus is currently spreading in more than 30 countries and territories, mainly in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports more than 150 travel-linked cases in the U.S.

SANDRO CAMPARDO, EPA

“Clearly, Zika virus infection in pregnancy can produce very bad outcomes. All of this news is alarming.”

Margaret Chan, WHO director-general

Nine countries with Zika outbreaks are reporting increases in Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves and causes paralysis, the WHO said Tuesday.

New studies are helping doctors better understand the virus’ link to major birth defects, such as microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development. Researchers recently found Zika appears to target fetuses’ brains, Chan said.

“Clearly, Zika virus infection in pregnancy can produce very bad outcomes,” Chan said. “All of this news is alarming.”

Scientists know of few other mosquito-borne illnesses that cause birth defects, said Amesh Adalja, a senior associate at the Center for Health Security at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The WHO also said more mosquitoes are becoming resistant to pesticide chemicals.

Battered bull market turns 7 against all odds ‘The best days are behind,’ analyst says Adam Shell USA TODAY

Wall Street’s battered bull is nearing its Golden Years, and though it may be past its prime, some analysts say don’t write its obituary just yet.

The bull market born March 9, 2009 — which looked last month like it was near the end — will turn 7 Wednesday, two years older than the average bull run, or

long period of rising stock prices, says S&P Dow Jones Indices.

In Wall Street years, that’s old.

The fifth-best performing bull, which has gained as much as 215% despite being the most hated and doubted in history, is moving into the twilight of its moneymaking career. This bull probably won’t die of old age and has the potential to put up some numbers before it succumbs to traditional bull killers, such as a recession, financial shock or too many interest rate hikes.

that would officially mark the end of the bull market.

“It is probably true that, in terms of gains, the best days are behind this market,” says Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management. This bull has been “cursed,” perhaps because it followed two vicious bear markets, the financial crisis in 2008 and the bursting of the Internet stock bubble in 2000.

“The enemy of bull markets tends to be valuation and euphoria,” Stone says. Valuations are reasonable in light of historic low interest rates, he says, and based on the traditional measure of eu-

phoria — cash flows into stock funds — “this bull market might be considered a young pup!”

“This is a stealth bull no one believes in,” says Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. The early pullback this year was “normal and healthy.”

All bull markets end, and one cause is a recession, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

“While we don’t believe the U.S. will slip into recession on its own accord, it may be dragged into one … should other economies around the globe slip and fall.”

SANDERS: ‘AN ENORMOUSLY SUCCESSFUL NIGHT’ Hopes momentum builds; Clinton takes Mississippi

DELEGATE TOTALS Delegate totals below include available results from Tuesday, previous voting and "superdelegates" that include party officials.

Delegates

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton easily won the Mississippi primary Tuesday, widening her delegate lead over Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, but Sanders scored an upset win in Michigan and declared the night a success.

Sanders did not heavily contest Mississippi but saw Michigan as a chance to renew his momentum heading into other critical contests this month, particularly with white working-class voters in the Midwest. Ohio is a major contest coming up March 15.

Sanders, speaking in Florida on Tuesday night, called the Michigan results an “enormously successful night.”

“What tonight means is that the Bernie Sanders campaign, the people’s revolution that we are talking about,” Sanders said, “is strong in every part of the country. Whether we win or lose tonight in Michigan, basically the

Still, the Vermont senator, having lost by huge margins to Clinton in the South, has fallen far enough behind in convention delegates that he’d have to bag threefifths of remaining delegates just to break even with Clinton, according to the non-partisan Cook Political Report. Delegates are divided proportionally in each state based on the primary results.

At an evening rally in Cleveland after the Mississippi results were announced, Clinton kept her criticism focused on Republicans instead of Sanders.

“I’m proud of the campaign that Sen. Sanders and I are running,” she said. “We have our differences as you can see when we debate.

“Those differences pale in comparison to what’s happening on the Republican side. Every time you think it can’t get any uglier they find a way,” Clinton said. “As

can voters throughout the primary season, and both states were expected to have large numbers of black primary voters. But she won the state with more than threequarters of the vote, which will pad her delegate lead.

Michigan was ideally suited to Sanders’ anti-trade, anti-corporate message about a “rigged economy,” and Sanders was hoping to pull off an upset. “This is a state he should be winning on his economic message,” said Susan Demas, editor and publisher of Inside Michigan Politics, a political analysis newsletter.

The city of Detroit has gone from one of the country’s richest in the 1960s to one of the poorest today. The once-thriving automotive hub is pocked by blighted homes and crime.

The loss of manufacturing jobs has also devastated many neighboring cities, fueling more than 20 years of resentment among white, working-class Democrats over the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed into law by Clinton’s husband, President Clinton, in 1993.

Sanders’ campaign has been targeting young voters and disaffected white, working-class voters hurt most by the declining auto industry.

Donald Trump swept to primary victories Tuesday in Michigan and Mississippi, putting even more pressure on rivals who are trying to stop his drive for the Republican presidential nomination.

“There’s only one person (who) did well tonight: Donald Trump,” the New York billionaire told supporters gathered at his golf club in Jupiter, Fla. Claiming victories despite a week of “horrible lies” told by opponents and “special interests” trying to block him, Trump said “it shows you how brilliant the public is.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz battled for second place in Michigan, the biggest prize of the night, while Cruz ran a distant second to the New York billionaire in Mississippi.

Trump, Kasich, Cruz, and Marco Rubio were also looking to pick up delegates via a primary in Idaho and caucuses in Hawaii.

Early results in Idaho indicated a race too close to call.

“I hope the Republicans can embrace it,” Trump said.

Trump fired back at one critic in particular: Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee who said last week he could never vote for the New York billionaire.

Trump disputed Romney’s claims that he has had many failed businesses by displaying examples of Trump steaks, Trump water, Trump wine, and Trump magazine.

Rubio, who appeared headed to very low finishes in both Michigan and Mississippi, spoke to supporters in Florida before any returns were reported, and vowed to press on. The Florida senator faces a must-win next week in his home state.

Kasich told supporters in Columbus that he is looking toward next week’s big primary in his home state: “We are going to win the state of Ohio, and it will be a whole new ballgame.”

Earlier Tuesday, Trump dealt with new questions about his habit of asking supporters to raise their hand and pledge their votes to him — gestures that some critics have likened to Nazi salutes.

“I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump told NBC’s Today, saying people are just having a good time.

The run-up to Tuesday’s contests also included more in-fight-

ing among Trump’s opponents.

Rubio and his aides accused the Cruz campaign of spreading false rumors that the Florida senator is being urged to exit the race ahead of next week’s primary in his home state, where polls have Rubio trailing Trump. The allegations are similar to those that Ben Carson raised against Cruz on the night of the Iowa caucuses.

A news report cited by Cruz backers and others is “a lie,” Rubio told Fox News Radio.

Cruz’s aides said that volunteers in Hawaii sent out unauthorized messages.

Cruz, Kasich and Rubio each argue they are best-positioned to defeat Trump and likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Japan still is recovering from earthquake, tsunami Five years later, progress is clear, but rebuilding is just beginning Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

OTSUCHI , JAPAN

Kozo Hirano can never forget that day five years ago Friday.

He and other town officials were discussing how to respond to a shattering earthquake that had just struck Japan’s northeast coast when cold, black water suddenly crashed into the town hall. Only 10 of 100 people in the building reached the safety of the roof. The others died in a tsunami that struck 30 minutes after being triggered by the quake.

In all, the raging waters killed nearly 20,000 people, wiped out entire towns and city centers, caused one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters and forever changed this part of the country.

“We had too much faith in the levees,” said Hirano, now Otsuchi’s mayor.

Ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the 2011 disaster will take place across Japan on Friday, as the long recovery efforts continue. Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko will appear at a national service in Tokyo, and a minute of silence will be observed nationwide at 2:46 p.m., the exact moment that the magnitude-9.0 earthquake — one of the most powerful ever recorded — struck about 40 miles offshore.

The government promised a massive response to the catastrophic damage.

Nearly 400,000 buildings as far as 2 miles inland were damaged or destroyed. The nuclear power plant in Fukushima, about 150 miles northeast of Tokyo, suffered a partial meltdown. And 470,000 people were forced to find temporary homes, about half from the region surrounding the crippled nuclear plant.

Much has been accomplished since then. About 53 million tons of debris was hauled to

Netanyahu nixes meeting with Obama Incident is latest sign of strain between the two leaders Gregory Korte USA TODAY

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled his trip to Washington this month, prompting annoyance and surprise from White House officials who said they had been working to schedule a meeting with President Obama.

The incident is just the latest outward sign of tension between the two leaders, who also missed out on a meeting a year ago as Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress to voice his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal. The White House said a meeting then wouldn’t have been appropriate because it was just two weeks before Netanyahu faced a re-election bid.

This year, White House officials said they had extended an invitation and couldn’t explain the cancellation.

“There’s no reason to consider this a snub. I think the question is simply a matter of scheduling,” WASHINGTON

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. “We would have preferred to have heard about that in person before reading about it in media reports. I think that’s just good manners.”

The dust-up comes as Vice President Biden touched down in Tel Aviv on Tuesday during his week-long visit to the Middle East. He’s scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on Wednesday. The two countries are in the midst of renegotiating a 10-year security agreement.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Tuesday that Netanyahu canceled his travel plans after the two sides were unable to come to a mutually agreeable date. The prime minister’s office, the newspaper said, was concerned that visiting the United States during the presidential primary season would be inappropriate — an explanation that echoes Obama’s reason for declining to host Netanyahu last year.

But the White House said the Israeli government initiated talks about a meeting. The White House had offered March 18 — two days before Obama’s trip to Cuba and Argentina when the trip was canceled.

ing to the Japan Reconstruction Agency, 58,948 people still live in temporary homes — mostly prefabricated structures intended to last just two years. Many residents won’t move to permanent housing until at least 2018.

Of nearly 600 levees and seawalls that the government plans to build, repair or replace along the coastline, only 70 have been completed, and construction has yet to begin on many others.

Some of the delays appear to stem from a shortage of construction workers and materials being diverted for the repair of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant and projects for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Recovery plans in this small fishing village provide a glimpse of the massive scale of the reconstruction efforts.

Otsuchi took more than a year just to develop a recovery plan, because nearly all of its government administrators were killed and records were destroyed in the tsunami. Altogether, 813 residents died and 421 remain missing. That’s roughly 10% of the town’s pre-disaster population, one of the highest fatality rates.

Recovery plans include raising the level of the town center by 8 feet. That will match the height of an adjacent highway and other high ground. A seawall nearly 50 feet high will be built.

It took more than two years to haul away the debris and rebuild roads and other basic infrastructure here. About 60% of the town’s pre-tsunami population remains in temporary housing.

“It’s never going to be completely safe, but this will buy time to get to higher ground,” said Hiroyasu Haga, 66, chairman of a residents’ committee at a housing complex outside Otsuchi.

Hirano said strengthening evacuation procedures is a big part of the recovery plan. Just as important, he said, is the emotional recovery for Otsuchi’s surviving residents.

“This town was built over hundreds and hundreds of years, but in ... just 10 or 15 minutes it was completely destroyed,” Hirano said. “I saw people lose their lives just in front me. How do you recover from that? You have to rely on your family and your friends and your neighbors.

That’s the only way.”

IN BRIEF USA BREAKS RECORD FOR WARMEST WINTER

It was so hot that the Iditarod had to ship seven rail cars of snow from Fairbanks to Anchorage so the mushers would have enough to race. It was so hot that two Vermont ski resorts closed last month because of lack of snow.

No, those aren’t bad jokes. The numbers show it’s no joke at all: The U.S. saw its warmest winter on record — a whopping 4.6 degrees above average. Alaska was 10.6 degrees warmer than normal this winter. The December-February average temperature for the Lower 48 states was 36.8 degrees, breaking the 1999-2000 record of 36.5 degrees, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. U.S. weather records date to 1895.

— Doyle Rice ‘UNKNOWN’ PEARL HARBOR VET TO RECEIVE FULL HONORS

LeeAnn Michalske never met her uncle, whom she has always known as a hero.

Nearly 75 years after Vernon Luke’s death in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, Michalske will be giving her uncle the farewell her family always desired.

Luke will be buried with full military honors at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu on Wednesday.

The funeral, and the history it will make, is the result of a Department of Defense decision to try to identify the remains of nearly 400 members of the crew of the USS Oklahoma who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor and were buried as “unknowns.”

Luke, a Green Bay, Wis., native, was one of the first five to be identified and will be the first of the battleship’s former unknowns to be re-interred at the national cemetery, said Gene Maestas, the Department of Defense’s on-site public affairs specialist.

The name of the victim was not released, although Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed that an American citizen stabbed in a knife attack was killed and 10 others were wounded. The attacker, identified as a Palestinian, was shot and killed, Rosenfeld said.

The violence in Jaffa was part of a series of attacks Tuesday that included a shooting in Jerusalem where two police officers suffered serious gunshots wounds before the assailant wielding an automatic weapon was shot and killed by border police, Rosenfeld said.

The fatal police shooting of an Oregon wildlife refuge protester was justified, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, 54, was shot Jan. 26 in eastern Oregon as police tried to arrest him and other occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

After the shooting, the FBI released a statement and aerial video of the incident. Authorities say Finicum was reaching for a pistol when he was shot by a state police trooper.

Authorities also said Tuesday that eight shots were fired. “The six fired by the Oregon State Police were justified and in fact necessary,” said Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris.

The FBI fired two shots, said Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson. Finicum, of Arizona, was shot three times. An Oregon sheriff said FBI agents involved in the shooting are under investigation for not disclosing they fired shots.

STARBUCKS SANDWICHES RECALLED ON LISTERIA FEARS Starbucks breakfast sandwiches were recalled in 250 stores last week due to fears they may be contaminated with Listeria, a bacteria that can be fatal to children and the elderly. Food manufacturer Progressive Gourmet, which makes the sandwiches for Starbucks, recalled the sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches labeled “Best Before: 07-AUG-2016” from stores in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.

The recall was made “out of the abundance of caution” after Listeria was discovered on a surface at its production facility.

No illnesses have been reported.

22 VOLKSWAGEN WORKERS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION German prosecutors are focusing on 22 Volkswagen employees suspected of involvement in the automaker’s diesel emissions scandal. The criminal investigation follows VW’s admission that it installed software on up to 11 million diesel cars worldwide to cheat emissions regulations and that it misstated carbon emissions estimates on a smaller number of vehicles. Of the 22 under investigation, 17 are being scrutinized over the diesel issue and five over the carbon emissions, Klaus Ziehe, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, told USA TODAY. Investigators have a “huge amount of data and papers” to digest, he said.

t’s often said that bull markets don’t die of old age. That’s a good thing.

Why? Because the current stock market bull, which was born March 9, 2009, three months before the official end of the Great Recession, celebrates its 7th birthday Wednesday, a long life only two other bulls have enjoyed.

Still, despite that the bull sported a 215% gain back in May when the Standard & Poor’s 500 index posted its last closing high — which ranks fifth best all time, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, and has lived a full 84month life so far, about two years longer than the average bull market and the third longest in history — the aging bull is showing signs of its age.

“Time to buy the bull an AARP membership,” quips Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Year seven hasn’t been a healthy one for the bull, as the S&P 500 has dipped 4.8% since its 6th birthday and after Tuesday’s close of 1979.26 is still hovering below the 2000 level, despite closing above that milestone for the first time in August 2014.

Is it a requirement to be considered part of the middle class?

tom rates also made stocks a more attractive investment compared to other assets, such as lowyielding government bonds.

A seven-year period of zero interest rates, which the Fed ended in December with its first rate hike in nearly a decade, led to a feeling on Wall Street that stocks were the best place to park cash for investors looking for a decent return. That viewpoint launched the acronym TINA, or “There Is No Alternative” to stocks.

The bull run was also fueled by corporate America’s massive purchases of its own stock, a buyback boom that created a major source of fresh demand for stocks and made corporate earnings growth look better as profits were spread around fewer outstanding shares.

So where does the aging bull — which is either mature or old, depending on which Wall Street pro you talk to — go from here?

Can it make another all-time closing high and avoid a 20% topto-bottom decline by the end of May and surpass the secondlongest-running bull that ended in August 1956 (and which lasted 851⁄2 months)?

(For this bull market to officially show seven years in the record books, it would have to make a new closing high. If not, and it drops 20% or more into a bear market, the official end of the bull market will be the current peak of May 21, 2015 — or just 6 years, 2 months old, notes Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

“Should a 20% stumble occur first, this birthday crown will be revoked like Jim Thorpe’s Olympic medals,” Stovall noted in a report. After Tuesday’s 1.1% drop, the S&P 500 is currently 7.1% below its record high.)

The current bull, like NHL hockey legend Jaromir Jagr, who is still scoring goals at age 44, could continue to defy skeptics despite graying around its horns, argues Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets.

“This is a stealth bull (that) no one (on Main Street) believes in,” Belski says.

“Why is the bull market not over? Because stocks are slightly lower this year and were flat last year. This is the reset and respite that all bull markets have. This is normal and healthy.”

U.S. companies, he adds, are flush with cash, and “cash flow drives earnings.”

What’s more, Belski says, the economy is improving despite the fact that many Main Street investors “believe a recession is around the corner.”

“The strong performance of these names ... is a reflection of that healthier consumer.”

This bull market means big bucks for patient investors.

The bull market turns 7 on Wednesday, a happy milestone for just about all investors. But it has been an even more spectacular period for those who had invested in one of 10 stocks in the current Standard & Poor’s 500 index, including real estate investment trust General Growth, biotech Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and sports apparel maker Under Armour. These stocks each scored incredible gains of 1,500% or more since the bull started on March 9, 2009, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The ongoing bull stands out largely due to its longevity. It ranks as the third-longest continuous bull market, just behind the storied run that raged for more than nine years until sputtering out in March 2000 when the dotcom bubble burst, says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst

TOP PERFORMERS Best-performing stocks since the bull market started seven years ago (based on current members of the S&P 500): Company % change since (ticker) March 9, 2009 Sector General Growth 7,295% Financials Properties (GGP) Regeneron Pharma3,084% Health care ceuticals (REGN) Under Armour (UA) 2,514% Cons. discretionary Wyndham 2,299% Cons. discretionary Worldwide (WYN) United Rentals (URI) 1,776% Industrials Hanesbrands (HBI) 1,763% Cons. discretionary Netflix (NFLX) 1,650% Cons. discretionary CBS (CBS) 1,556% Cons. discretionary Priceline (PCLN) 1,537% Cons. discretionary Extra Space Storage 1,527% Financials (EXR) SOURCES: S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

But this bull has power to match its age, at least for investors with the guts to hang on in the right spots. Shares of companies that sell goods and services to U.S. consumers have been especially strong. Six of the 10 best stocks are in the consumer discretionary sector, which is the label for companies that sell non-essential items.

“The strong performance of these names ... is a reflection of that healthier consumer,” says Michael Farr, CEO of investment management firm Farr, Miller & Washington. “The U.S. economy has enjoyed a much smoother and steadier recovery compared to most foreign economies.”

Simply hanging on and owning the S&P 500 has generated a cumulative gain of nearly 200% through Tuesday’s close. But this bull market has been capable of so much more on an individual stock basis. More than 60% of the stocks in the S&P 500 that have been trading the past seven years have beaten the market’s gains.

Some by a staggering amount.

REIT General Growth is the biggest darling of this bull market, up a stellar 7,295%.

Investors will have to wait to see if the bull market can stay alive. But these companies — if they want to keep their momentum — need a healthy U.S. economy, Farr says. Half of these 10 best stocks in the bull are now down this year.

“Each company listed is heavily dependent on a healthy U.S.” he says.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Before lighting a candle on the bull market’s seventh birthday, how about a quick glance back at what things looked like in 2009?

Nobody knew at the time, but that was the day the U.S. stock market’s worst bear market since the Great Depression hit bottom.

Compared to this bull market, that bear market was relatively short at less than a year-and-a half. But it’s incredible just how much damage a full-blown financial crisis — one that required federal bailout of the banking system and extraordinary stimulus from the Federal Reserve — can do to stocks in that time.

To put it lightly, things were bleak on March 9, 2009: NEW YORK

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

uThe blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average closed at 6,547 that day. That was 7,617 points below its then-record close on Oct. 9, 2007 — a nearly 54% drop.

It also was the Dow’s lowest close since April 14, 1997. uThe benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index was doing even worse, down nearly 57% from its October 1997 record and lowest close since Sept. 12, 1996. uThe Nasdaq composite was down almost 56% from its 2007 peak. That was its lowest close since Oct. 16, 2002, but only because the tech-packed index had yet to recover from the 20002001 Internet stock crash. uU.S. investors had seen $11.2 trillion in stock wealth vanish since the 2007 top, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 index.

So while celebrating how far it has come, maybe a quick round of applause for what this bull ended.

Exchange-traded funds are best way to add bonds Q: What’s the easiest way to buy bonds?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The bull market is seven years old now, making it one of the longest in history. Investors worried the bull will run out of steam should strongly consider adding bonds to their portfolios. It’s easy.

Owning bonds, in addition to stocks, is one of the best ways to spread risk. Government bonds, in particular, can offer relative safety during market corrections or even bear markets. Investors who haven’t added bonds to their portfolios should strongly consider doing so now as the bull market’s gusto gets a bit tired.

The easiest way to add bond exposure to portfolios is by using exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. ETFs are investments you can buy through a discount brokerage just as you’d buy any stock. There are ETFs that own large baskets of bonds rather than shares of companies. The Vanguard Total Bond Market trades by the symbol BND. If you buy this single investment, you get broad exposure to all sorts of bonds, with 70% weighing to those with the highest quality. The annual expense ratio is just 0.07%.

There are more specific bond ETFs, too, including those that only own corporate debt or municipal bonds.

Investors who want to directly own Treasuries can also buy them straight from the government at Treasury Direct.gov.

United faces another challenge as investors launch proxy war Charisse Jones and Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

United Continental Holdings is facing a challenge to its leadership as two investors plan a hostile bid to place six candidates, including former Continental Airlines CEO Gordon Bethune, on the struggling carriers’ board.

PAR Capital Management and Altimeter Capital Management, two hedge funds that together own 7.1% of United Continental’s shares, say they will nominate their slate at an upcoming share-

holders meeting to help turn around a board they say has done a poor job steering the airline.

That announcement came a day after United appointed three new board members of its own, including James Whitehurst, a

former chief operating officer of Delta Air Lines, and Robert Milton, the former chairman and CEO of Air Canada.

The moves set up a potential showdown that would mark just the latest challenge to the airline, which merged with Continental in 2010.

“As long-term United stockholders, we have been greatly disappointed with United’s poor performance and bad decisions over the last several years,” Brad Gerstner, Altimeter’s CEO, said in a statement. “Yesterday’s lastditch effort, adding just three people to its now 15-person

Board, is a cynical attempt to preserve power by this entrenched Board.”

It’s likely that the two hedge funds would want Bethune, 74, to take on the role of board chairman. The former CEO is credited with taking Continental in the 1990s from the bottom of the industry in terms of complaints and performance to one that by the time he departed in 2004 was heralded as one of the industry’s most admired.

“We are deeply disappointed that ... PAR and Altimeter have unilaterally taken this hostile action with no concern that a proxy

fight could distract the company from executing on Oscar’s strategic plan,’’ Henry Meyer III, United’s non-executive chairman said in a statement that referred to CEO Oscar Munoz.

The merger of United and Continental has been rocky. Its previous CEO, Jeff Smisek, stepped down in September amid a corruption probe. His replacement, Munoz, was greeted with enthusiasm, but a month after taking the helm, he suffered a heart attack. He underwent a heart transplant in January and is slated to return full time on March 14.

“In a way, it’s ‘Captain America 3,’ but for me it’s like my little ‘Iron Man 4,’ and then it’s back to the thing we all recognize. Everything pulls over to the side of the road when the thunder of an ‘Avengers’ thing comes through, because that’s how it is until it changes.” — Robert Downey Jr., discounting the chances of a fourth ‘Iron Man’ movie, saying he doesn’t think it’s “in the cards.”

But directing a Marvel film could be an option: “That might be the only gig they offer me in five years!”

Ranting on social media has become a new art form, and there’s no better titan of the Twitter tirade than Kanye West.

Not to mention his wife, Kim Kardashian, who’s having a Twitter tantrum because she’s the target of jokes and slams — from Bette Midler and Piers Morgan, among others — for her penchant for tweeting nude selfies.

She let loose with snarky tweets of her own Tuesday, plus a boast about her assets worthy of Donald Trump: “sorry I’m late to the party guys I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account.”

But all this metaphorical shrieking, while hugely entertaining, leads to questions about the emotional well-being of some ranters, not to mention the level of discourse in our culture. Even the presidential race has devolved into a mess of sophomoric taunts, often on Twitter.

few), however, are talking trash about stuff far less consequential than the presidency.

But what is the benefit of periodic paroxysms of Twitter twaddle? Is this really good for the twaddlers?

Publicist-turned-columnist Rob Shuter (TheNaughtyGossip. com) says many celebs he has worked with “love a good rant,” and this was way before Twitter.

“Twitter allows people to get inside of who (they) truly are,” Shuter says. “Some celebrities, if they have time on their hands, that’s when they’re the most dangerous. They have a huge ego, and (here’s a) way to express it.”

Twitter has given rise to a new area of psychology to study social-media ranting. Not only do plenty of non-celebs do it, there are “rant-sites,” such as justrage.com, dedicated to enabling people to vent about, well, whatever ticks them off.

“People do it because it feels good in the moment,” says Ryan Martin, chairman of the psychology department at University of Wisconsin at Green Bay and coauthor of Anger on the Internet: The Perceived Value of Rant-Sites.

Jennifer Golbeck, an associate professor who studies social media at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies, says humans have always ranted; now they can rant to millions instead of just those in shouting distance. “I can rant against the airlines and everyone can see me yelling at the airlines,” she says. “And culturally that means it’s OK to do it.”

The long-term consequence is that it’s bad for us, Martin says.

“It keeps us thinking about our angry thoughts.”

Ranter-in-chief has to be West, who has engaged in Twitter spats with Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Swift and sent out bursts of a dozen stream-of-consciousness tweets at a time, moaning about his money problems and comparing himself to Picasso.

On Monday, he declared the CD dead, announced that his music would be streamed only from now on, and then went off on his need “to be me.”

Is tweet-ranting good for a celeb brand? If celebrities think it is, they’re wrong, Shuter says.

“It’s a mistake, because it always comes across as angry,” he says. “There is something to be said about clear, consistent thoughts, especially if you’re trying to sell product.”

The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel are about to meet on the big screen in a cinematic throwdown that, on the surface, should be able to smash the box office to smithereens.

Yet with each of these comicbook legends having mixed results in movies past, and a changing superhero climate at the multiplex, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice blasts into theaters March 25 with a lot of questions.

“Combining these two top-ofthe-line, gold-standard superheroes in one movie, it’s an irresistible concept but it carries a lot of responsibility,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior box office analyst for comScore.

Director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman sets the stage not only for the DC cinematic universe but also for a Justice League blockbuster-to-be (set to start filming April 11), bringing together Batman (Ben Affleck), Super-

“On paper, it’s a monster.”

Davis suspects Batman v Superman could beat the March rec-

ord of $152.5 million held by Hunger Games (2012). “It’s Batman and Superman in the same movie. People have been waiting their entire lives for this,” he says.

It likely won’t match the opening of Captain America: Civil War (May 6), which is “tracking through the roof,” Dergarabedian

says. Marvel has ruled that first weekend in May, with The Avengers opening with $207.4 million in 2012 (No. 2 of all time) and its Age of Ultron sequel scoring $191.3 million last year.

What rival Warner Bros. has in its favor with Batman v. Superman is an advantageous date. By opening in late March, it has all April to rack up box office, with The Jungle Book providing the only competition on April 15.

“These are two huge iconic characters,” says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “If it can’t get to $150 million, then DC has to start over again.”

Batman v Superman has been met with some negative reaction on social media from those who love the characters, and Bock believes that’s partly because Snyder hasn’t proven himself as a worthwhile shepherd of the DC superhero movies.

But Dawn of Justice is a mustsee experience for most moviegoers because of the legendary guys involved, according to Bock.

“General fans don’t care,” he says. “They just want to see Batman onscreen again and they want to see Superman and, hey, these two guys are fighting each other? And Woman Woman shows up? Yeah, it’s exciting.”

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Traylor senses different KU vibe this time Jamari Traylor has watched closely from nearby as a Kansas basketball team made a deep run through the postseason.

An NCAA partial qualifier, Traylor sat out his first season in Lawrence, only practicing in the spring semester with what turned out to be a Final Four squad.

But the senior power forward from Chicago never has personally contributed to anything better than a Sweet 16 berth for KU in 2013, his freshman season.

Traylor Back then, Traylor didn’t have Bill Self’s trust like he does now. Traylor played a combined 13 minutes as the Jayhawks moved past Western Kentucky and North Carolina, and lost to Michigan. He took three shots, made two of them, scored four points, but didn’t even collect a rebound.

Each of the following two seasons, Traylor’s role increased, but Kansas faltered early in March Madness, exiting with just a single tourney victory in both 2014 and 2015.

Traylor, like the most of his teammates, struggled to score inside (1-for-8 shooting) in a 60-57 secondround loss to Stanford his sophomore year, two days after dominating against Eastern Kentucky, with 17 points and 14 boards.

As a junior, Traylor’s season concluded with him contributing four points (2-for-5 shooting) and five rebounds off the bench as KU lost, 78-65, to Wichita State.

Those back-to-back Round of 32 losses don’t fall solely on Traylor’s broad shoulders, of course. KU’s core of veterans — Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden Jr. and Frank Mason III — also played key roles in those season-ending headscratchers. But Traylor takes ownership in the program’s successes and shortcomings. That’s one reason why, as the Jayhawks head into the postseason this March, the 6-foot-8 leader senses this team can actually live up to KU’s lofty expectations.

“It’s pretty much a different feeling,” Traylor said of the vibe, compared to the other KU teams he has played for. “I feel like we’ve got a group of guys who’s a little more hungry. We’ve tasted defeat in the postseason, so we know what’s around the corner for us.

I’m a senior now. Perry’s a senior now. So we know it’s our last opportunity, so we’re more locked in.”

Even before the season began, Traylor thought the final Kansas team he played on could be as good defensively as the one he watched reach the 2012 national championship game.

Seabury basketball’s stock rising

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Bishop Seabury senior Thomas Uhler has seen the boys basketball program in the worst of times and the best of times.

During his freshman sea-

son, the Seahawks finished with a 1-17 record.

Fast forward three years and Seabury (18-3) is preparing for its second state tournament appearance in school history, meeting No. 2-seed Central Plains (23-0) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the first round of the 2A

tournament at Kansas State’s Bramlage Coliseum.

“It’s awesome,” Uhler said.

“I know at the end of this I’m going to be jealous because I know they are going to go do it again next year. But it’s great to get it on my senior year.”

Earning a spot at state was a moment that Uhler had long envisioned. In 2014, the Seahawks lost in the substate title game. That just made them hungrier for the next season. Then, they lost Please see SEABURY, page 3C

Self lands another coaching honor

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self, who directed his Jayhawks to a 12th-straight Big 12 title and 27-4 regular-season record, on Tuesday was named national coach of the year by USA Today.

“This is likely Self’s best coaching job yet, despite all those other league titles and the team that won it all in 2008,” writes Nicole

Auerbach of USA Today. “He has had to poke and prod and figure out lineups.

He’s found a winning forSelf mula even as he’s limited minutes for highly touted freshmen Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg.

“Self, who edged Xavier’s Chris Mack, Indiana’s Tom

Crean, Oregon’s Dana Altman and Miami’s Jim Larranaga, has balanced it all and built a title contender in the process, the most complete team in the country heading into the NCAA Tournament. It’s not unusual that a Self-led team is peaking in March, but it is impressive that this particular one is playing at this high a level. For that, this honor goes to Self,” Auerbach writes.

Of this year’s team, Self

said Monday: “I’m proud of the fact that they seem to be very unselfish and care more about their teammates than they appear to care about themselves. You know, a lot of clichés that go along with that. But I do believe that holds true with this team.”

Beaty looks to other QBs as Willis heals

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sunday evening, following the first practice of the 2016 spring season, Kansas University football coach David Beaty proclaimed his team to be “way ahead” of where it was at this point a year ago.

But there’s one area of the program that still can’t catch a break — quarterback.

Promising sophomore Ryan Willis, who qualified as one of the few bright spots from a winless 2015 season, opened spring practice with his right wrist in a cast, the product of a pickPlease see SMITH, page 3C up basketball injury that

will limit what Willis can do this month.

Beaty called Willis the incumbent and it’s clear that, if healthy, the Bishop Miege graduate would have opened the spring in the top spot on the depth chart.

Beaty confirmed as much after the opening practice but also took time to revisit his earn-it philosophy.

“He would’ve taken the first snap,” Beaty said of Willis. “But it would’ve meant nothing. You get what you earn. And it doesn’t matter if it’s the quarterback, the running back, the tight end or the tackle.”

Brickey, Formby honored by Big 12 Kansas University softball swept the Big 12 weekly honors for the week of March 8, the league announced Tuesday.

Senior shortstop Chaley Brickey was named the conference player of the week, and sophomore right-hander Andie Formby was pitcher of the week.

Brickey led KU with eight hits and scored nine of the Jayhawks’ 25 runs at Southern Illinois’ Coach B Classic. Brickey batted .571 (8-for-14) with four extrabase hits, including a home run, and walked three times for a .647 on-base percentage.

Formby won two games and had a 0.91 earned-run average at the Southern Illinois tournament.

She struck out 13 batters and walked just two in 151⁄3 innings.

Kansas tennis to add player Kansas University’s women’s tennis team will add Purdue transfer Tess Bernard-Feigenbaum for the 2016-17 season, KU coach Todd Chapman announced Tuesday.

Bernard-Feigenbaum was first-team All-Big Ten and was ranked as high as No. 24 in the ITA national rankings for doubles in 2015.

“We are thrilled and honored to add a person and player of Tess’ caliber to Kansas tennis,” KU coach Todd Chapman said.

“The addition of someone with three years of high level experience to next year’s team is huge for us. We believe Tess is going to make a large impact on our program both on and off the court.

“Her best tennis is still ahead of her, and we know she is going to have a great senior season as a Jayhawk. We can’t wait to get her on campus to start working with her,” he added Bernard-Feigenbaum will be KU’s only senior in 2016-17.

“I am excited to join the Jayhawk family,” Bernard-Feigenbaum said. “Kansas is a school that is on the rise nationally, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of a program that focuses on development and daily improvement.”

Serena says Sharapova ‘showed a lot of courage’

Madison Square Garden in the BNP Paribas Showdown.

Instead, it was Day 2 of the Maria Sharapova drug saga after she had admitted at a media conference in Los Angeles on Monday that she had failed a test at the Australian Open for the drug meldonium, a medicine she had been taking for 10 years but was included in the list of banned substances issued by WADA for 2016.

WADA now considers meldonium, a blood flow enhancing drug, to be performance enhancing.

Sharapova, who had previously announced she was pulling out of next week’s tournament at Indian Wells with a left forearm injury, has been provisionally suspended by the ITF pending an investigation to address the violation.

Sharapova said she had not looked at the new list of banned substances for 2016, though she did say she received it.

Williams and Wozniacki addressed the situation Tuesday morning at the Garden, showing sympathy along with surprise.

“Like everyone else, most people were surprised and shocked,” Williams said. “But most people are happy with the fact she was up front with what she had done in terms of what she had neglected. With that being said, she’s taking responsibility, which she was ready to do.”

Wozniacki expressed surprise that Sharapova hadn’t checked the drugs list when she received it.

“Any time we take medication, we double and triple check,” Wozniacki said. “Sometimes even a thing like cough drops and nasal spray can be on the list. So as athletes we make sure not to take something that would put us in a bad situation.”

Sharapova is the highest earning woman in sports, with endorsements deals believed to be worth about $30 million. Nike announced it was suspending its relationship with Sharapova “while the investigation continues,” the company said in a statement. Porsche also issued a statement saying it was suspending its agreements and TAG Heuer said it was suspending negotiations for a new agreement after one expired at the end of 2015.

NBA

Kerr calls out team for play Oakland, Calif. — So what if coach Steve Kerr added a pair of extra turnovers to his team’s ugly, uncharacteristic two-day total. He made his point that the Golden State Warriors’ sloppy play of late must stop — and now. Well

ally have been 44 turnovers. “I think the team leading the league averages 12 or 13 a game so some are going to happen, but I can rattle off 10 easy that were just inexcusable. Sometimes the game comes too easy for our guys and they just think they can do anything.”

That’s largely because Golden State has been so, so good this season. Far better than during that special run to the franchise’s first title in 40 years last year.

Sure, the Warriors won a 45th straight regular-season home game on Monday night to surpass the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ previousbest mark and improve to 56-6. Yes, reigning MVP Stephen Curry became the first player in NBA history to make 300 three-pointers in a single season — with 20 games still to go.

“It’s still kind of surreal to have accomplished that knowing that I love to shoot the ball and I try to do it at a high level,” Curry said.

All those milestones can be properly celebrated, Kerr just wants more from this group than what he has seen of late. He wants his Warriors to know one thing about the turnovers after matching a season high with 24 on Monday against the Magic: “That’s kind of our weakness.”

“If we don’t get that cleaned up then we are in big trouble,” Kerr said. “That’s a major goal for us going forward.”

The miscues nearly cost Golden State on its precious home floor in Oracle Arena, where the Warriors held off Orlando 119-113. A day earlier, they lost 112-95 to the lowly Lakers in Los Angeles with 20 turnovers.

Bulls hope Butler’s back soon Chicago — The Chicago Bulls hope to have Jimmy Butler back for their next game after the swelling in the two-time All-Star guard’s left knee went down.

Coach Fred Hoiberg said Tuesday he hopes he returns to the lineup Thursday at San Antonio. Butler sat out Monday’s win over Milwaukee because of swelling in the same knee that had sidelined him for 11 games.

He returned to score 24 points while playing 34 minutes in Saturday’s win over Houston but experienced stiffness in his back the following day. Butler then developed swelling in his knee on Monday.

Hoiberg also said forward Bobby Portis was experiencing blurred vision after leaving the Bucks game because of a left orbital contusion.

But guard Aaron Brooks was feeling better after exiting with right patellar tendinitis.

Ballock joins already-hot Eudora squad

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Eudora High junior Mitchell Ballock returned to the boys basketball team for the regular-season finale, it was a nice boost before the postseason.

Ballock missed the first 19 games recovering from surgery in September to repair a torn labrum before helping the Cardinals advance to the Class 4A-I state tournament, facing third-seeded Bishop Miege (19-3) at 4:45 p.m. Thursday at Salina Bicentennial Center.

On paper, who wouldn’t want to add an all-state talent? Profes-

Seabury CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

on a buzzer-beater in the sub-state semifinals last year.

After last season’s substate loss, Uhler grabbed a few of his teammates and told them they couldn’t focus on the future anymore. It was his senior year and they had to make it count.

With a large core of returners back, the stakes were raised. The Seahawks finally earned their state berth with substate victories against Northern Heights, Lyndon and Olpe.

“It makes it a lot tougher because it puts more pressure on you,” Seabury coach Ashley Battles said of the preseason expectations. “It’s definitely a sweet feeling when you get there.”

But there’s no easing into the state tournament.

The undefeated Oilers were 2A state runners-up last season, losing by four points in the state title game to St. John, which had a 63-game winning streak until December.

“They are a helluva team, but I like our matchup,” Battles said.

“We match up well against them.”

Seventh-seeded Seabury loves to play in transition with its top three guards: junior Mikey Wycoff and sophomores Zach McDermott and Bansi King. Wycoff averages a team-best 21 points per game, using his agility to dribble past defenders into the paint. McDermott adds 18 points and six assists per game, and the sharpshooting King averages 13 points.

After the team’s top three scorers, Uhler, junior Austin Gaumer, junior Max Easter, sophomore Thomas diZerega and freshman Chris Green are all big pieces into the team’s puzzle.

During sub-state, diZerega, a 5-foot-11 scrappy guard, probably had the most memorable week.

Along with the team’s success on the court, diZerega missed the team’s first sub-state game to travel to New York and sing at Carnegie Hall.

His father, a vocal music teacher outside of Topeka, takes his choir every four years to sing at Carnegie Hall, and diZerega joined the trip this year.

“It was surreal,” diZerega said. “It was awesome.

I was on a plane on the way back for our first game of sub-state. But it was worth it. How many people can say they’ve been able to sing at Carnegie Hall?”

Whether it’s singing or shooting threes, the Seahawks are thrilled with their progress throughout the past few years.

“We could’ve had (a spot at state) last year and we just came up short,” diZerega said. “Getting it this year makes it all the more better, all the more enjoyable.”

sional teams look for that boost through midseason trades.

But adding Ballock, a Creighton commit, to the lineup still meant a lot of adjustments. The Cardinals had to learn how to play alongside each other on both ends of the floor, especially incorporating Ballock back into the offense.

“We went to the library and looked for a book on how you do this, and we couldn’t find the book,” Eudora coach Kyle Deterding said. “We’ve kind of just done the best that we can do and worked it out. The kids understand we’re doing what we think is best for the team,

and they are all working really hard. We’re doing the best that we can.”

The early results are more than positive, rolling to double-digit victories in sub-state against De Soto and Atchison.

The sixth-seeded Cardinals (16-6), back at state for the first time since winning a 4A-II state title in 2014, look balanced on offense and strong on defense. On a seven-game winning streak, they held Atchison scoreless in the second quarter of the sub-state title game.

“It’s really rewarding,” Ballock said. “Not just for me, for the rest of the team. They put in a lot of hard work without me.

It’s pretty hard getting into the flow of things after I was out, and me coming back into the offense, it’s kind of hard to get me into the flow of things and everything.”

Ballock was initially expected to miss the entire season, but extra hours of rehab each week helped him power his way back to the court for another chance at a state championship.

For his teammates, it was learning how to become more consistent on the court. The Cardinals started the season with a 3-3 record.

With 11 seniors, the Cardinals have plenty of experience and poise. Aus-

tin Downing is averaging 15 points, 5.5 rebounds and five assists per game, while Brian Tolefree is averaging 13 points and Jomain Rouser adds 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.

Mason Fawcett and Grant Elston have stepped up with big games throughout the season.

“They worked hard for it and I worked hard to get back and hopefully get this opportunity,” Ballock said. “Now that we’re presented this opportunity, hopefully we can take advantage of it.”

Against Bishop Miege, the Cardinals will have to make up for their size disadvantage. The Stags are led by 6-foot-11 forward

Bol Bol, the son of former NBA player Manute Bol, who is among the highest-rated recruits in the country for the class of 2018. Then there’s 6-7 freshman Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, son of former Kansas University player Lester Earl, and more talent from guard Semaj Ray and forward Francesco Badocchi.

“You can’t simulate 6-11, 6-8 and 6-7,” Deterding said. “You talk about it and you talk about it, but it’s different when you’re out there. We played Paola a couple of times this year, and they were big, 6-7, 6-6 and 6-5. But this is adding four inches onto each of those.”

Royals survive bee swarm, Rockies

Charlie Riedel/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY ROYALS MANAGER NED YOST watches as bees swarm near the Royals’ dugout during a spring game against Colorado on Tuesday in Surprise, Ariz.

Hoops

Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — In what truly became a “B’’ game at spring training, a swarm of bees briefly delayed the Kansas City Royals’ 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

Edinson Volquez threw three hitless innings for the Royals, but the insects caused the biggest buzz.

They sent Kansas City manager Ned Yost, members of his coaching staff and fans scurrying early in the exhibition matchup at Surprise Stadium. Yost and his coaches like to sit on folding chairs outside the dugout, and the bees caused them to duck for cover.

Yost said nobody got stung.

“They’re not going to mess with you, just don’t mess with them,” Yost said. “Kind of like the Royals, don’t mess with us and we won’t mess with you.”

The bees were removed in a plastic trash bag after the top of the third inning. Lowell Hutchinson,

a retired beekeeper from St. Joseph, Mo., came out of the stands to assist with gathering them. With the

scarcity of honey bees, Yost implored the bees be saved, not exterminated.

“I said, ‘We ain’t killing those bees. We better figure something out,’” Yost said. “Luckily we had a beekeeper from St. Joe here. They had already devised that plan, just put them in a plastic bag, take them out and let them go. We ain’t killing them.

There aren’t enough bees in the world, boys. We can’t be exterminating them.”

“They’re so important to our environment. They pollinate everything. It doesn’t make any sense to panic and kill bees when you don’t have to.

I am proud the way we handled it,” he said.

Volquez saw Yost rush for the dugout while he was on the mound.

“I’m just glad to be alive,” Volquez said and laughed.

Bubba Starling hit a two-run, inside-the-park homer in the Royals sixth off Jason Motte. Paulo Orlando also homered.

Brown has led SMU to a 94-39 record through four seasons. His squad went 25-5 this season but is ineligible for postseason play because of NCAA sanctions.

“I love what I do and I love where I’m at and I want to see it continue to get better,” former KU coach Brown told the Morning News. “I didn’t think about any other alternative but to continue to be a part of the program and build on everything that’s been accomplished and try to accomplish more. I think we’re going to get all this stuff behind us and continue to get better, and I want to be a part of that.

“I said I’d stay as long

as I felt we were making a difference. I’ve had four wonderful years here. I don’t want to see this situation end. If they want me, I’ll stay as long as they want.”

Former KU assistant Tim Jankovich is coach in waiting at SMU and will take over when Brown retires.

We’ve got everything in place with Tim. All I care about is watching SMU grow. It would be nice to be a part of that,” Brown told the Morning News. l WSU an 8 seed?: ESPN’s latest Joe Lunardi Bracketology has No. 1 overall seed KU playing the winner of a play-in game between Austin Peay and Texas Southern in a first-round NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional game a week from Thursday in Des Moines.

Lunardi has the Jayhawks projected to play either Wichita State or Butler in the second round. In Lunardi’s projections, KU could meet either Duke or Iowa in the Sweet 16 and Xavier or Indiana in the Elite Eight.

A KU-Wichita State

matchup in Des Moines would be interesting in that WSU would figure to have as many, if not more, fans in the stands than KU. Also, WSU plays Drake in Des Moines every season in Missouri Valley country, meaning the projected No. 8 seed Shockers could actually have an advantage in some ways over a 1-seed.

Sporting News points out that even though some have the Shockers on the NCAA bubble at 24-8 overall, the fact the team is ranked No. 11 nationally by Kenpom.com assures WSU an NCAA bid. l Travis Ford on way out?: The Tulsa World writes that OSU coaching legend Eddie Sutton would support the hiring of broadcaster/former OSU guard Doug Gottlieb as head coach if the Cowboys, as expected, buy out the final three years of coach Travis Ford’s 10year contract.

“Most players who are any good, and if they’ve played in a good coaching situation, they can coach,” Eddie Sutton told the Tulsa World.

“I would have no prob-

lem in supporting (Doug Gottlieb). I think Sean (Sutton, former OSU coach) would feel the same way.

“Doug is smart. I think he would be a great recruiter. If he’s smart enough to get good assistant coaches — guys who (are) similar to the way he feels — I think he would be all right.”

The World has suggested some names. “So will it be Virginia Tech’s Buzz Williams? Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall?

Stephen F. Austin’s Brad Underwood? Houston’s Kelvin Sampson? (Take a breath, Cowboy fans, his Cougars are currently 22-8 and in second place in the American Athletic Conference). Or maybe Louisville’s Rick Pitino?

Or even CBS chatterbox and erstwhile Sutton point guard Doug Gottlieb? (Gottlieb, who has never coached, seems to be the fan favorite.)

Or why not (Eddie) Sutton himself? He missed Friday’s game, but even at 80, he frequently makes it to Stillwater.

And on days he can’t, couldn’t he coach by Skype or FaceTime?” writes John E. Hoover.

In March, intangibles tend to push teams closer to a Final Four. Self pointed to an immeasurable characteristic when asked what he admired most about this year’s Jayhawks.

“I would say, I would probably never give my teams that much credit for being pretty tough, but I think they are pretty tough in crucial situations,” Self said. “I

think that they usually — not always — usually rise to the level of what needs to be done at that particular moment, and, you know, they like each other.”

Ellis may be best known for his soft shooting touch from inside and outside, but Traylor noticed the team’s leading scorer getting tough in the final minutes of KU’s regular-season finale, an 85-78 home victory over Iowa State.

“He’s just a winner,”

Traylor said of Ellis.

“The last play you could tell, because he put it all out there. He dove on the court. It was the defining moment for the game.

It just shows how much you want to win if you do that.”

Traylor, Ellis, Selden and Mason all will have plenty of chances, beginning this weekend at the Big 12 Tournament, to prove with their play if March victories mean even more to them now than they did in the past.

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Spurs 116, T’wolves 91 Minneapolis — LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points and seven rebounds to help San Antonio bounce back from a rare loss with a victory over Minnesota on Tuesday night.

Kawhi Leonard scored 15 points and the Spurs (54-10) led by as many as 26 points in a game they played without Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich. David West scored 18 points as the Spurs shot 55.3 percent and only turned the ball over nine times.

Andrew Wiggins had 23 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 19 points and nine boards, and Zach LaVine scored 15 points.

The Spurs haven’t dealt with much losing this season, and they responded to their 10th defeat of the season with a workmanlike dismantling of the Timberwolves defense.

Even with their three mainstays out of the lineup and their peerless coach at home tending to a family issue, they didn’t miss a beat.

“The machine is a welloiled machine,” assistant Ettore Messina, who has filled in for Popovich the last two games, said before the game. “It goes on. You try to sit at the wheel and steer and try not to mess it up. Keep it straight.”

The Spurs shot a season-low 35 percent overall and 14 percent from three-point range against Indiana on Monday night. They were much better against Minnesota’s young and porous defense. Aldridge got whatever he wanted, peppering the Wolves with midrange jumpers and throwing down an emphatic dunk on Towns to get the Spurs going in the second quarter.

San Antonio closed the half with a 9-0 run, then just leaned on the young Wolves in the third to break it open.

Andre Miller, who was bought out by the Timberwolves and joined the Spurs at the end of February, started for Parker (toe). Miller had 13 points and five assists in 25 minutes.

The Spurs turned the ball over just three times in the first three quarters and now head home for five straight games at AT&T Center, where they are 30-0 this season.

Brook Lopez had 35 points, one shy of his season high, for the Nets, who lost the season series to the Raptors for the first time since 2009-10.

The Raptors rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit to get back on track at home after their franchise-record, 12-game home win streak ended Sunday against Houston.

Toronto’s 58-42 halftime hole equaled its biggest of the season, done in a loss at Golden State in November.

Ames, Iowa (ap) — Iowa State’s lack of depth made its hopes for a regular-season Big 12 title unrealistic.

Perhaps the postseason will be kind again to the 21st-ranked Cyclones.

Iowa State (21-10, 10-8 Big 12) will begin its quest for a third straight conference tournament title Thursday against third-seeded Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6), ranked sixth nationally.

The Cyclones are the sixth seed — which could be lower than the one they’ll receive for the NCAA tournament if they replicate their previous success in Kansas City.

“You can’t look ahead.

We’re just trying to beat Oklahoma ... we’re not worried about fatigue.

We’re not worried about minutes,” coach Steve Prohm said. “Hopefully we can make a great run there, and then get ready for the next run in the NCAAs.” “Our guys are playing well. We’re up one with three minutes to go at Kansas, where they’ve lost nine times in the last 13 years,” Prohm said. “I think we’ll go into the (Big 12) tournament with a lot of confidence, and we’ll go into the NCAA Tournament with a lot of confidence because we know we’ve got a good team. We’ve just got to continue to finish.”

Iowa State’s wellknown depth issues were exacerbated when starter Naz Mitrou-Long chose to seek a medical redshirt in December because of hip issues. Junior Matt Thomas blossomed in Long’s absence, averaging 10.6 points a game while shooting 43 percent on three-point attempts.

in right field has been gutted and replaced with a 136-seat “Bullpen Club” — which probably should be known as the “Better Raise The Limits On Your Credit Card Club.”

For the low, low price of $52 to $60, you can woof down all the crappy food and guzzle all the sugary soft drinks you want (sorry, alcohol is not included) while looking at the backs of a bunch of Double-Abound players wearing numbers such as 84 and 93.

Wilkerson, who has been attending spring training since he was a child, still enjoys the crack of the bat and the laid-back atmosphere.

But he conceded that, as with all sports, things have changed. The quaintness he remembers when the Braves trained in West Palm Beach nearly 20 years ago, the closeness to the players, that just isn’t there

anymore. Spring training is big business, which is why so many teams have abandoned their longstanding homes to the allure of new, revenueenhancing stadiums.

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t trained at Dodgertown since 2008. These days, Camelback Ranch in the sprawling Phoenix suburbs is their spring home, where they’ve got 13,000 seats, 12 luxury boxes and plenty of other ways to separate fans from their money.

“It’s more organized” is the way Wilkerson describes it. “I don’t feel like it’s quite as fan-centric as it once was.”

Those sort of comments don’t bode well, especially with a graying fan base and polls that show Major League Soccer is just as popular among young people.

There’s no comparison to the NFL, which just keeps getting more and more popular.

But we want to get (Willis) well fast because he’s a talented kid.” l D-tackles making a difference: Beaty said mid-year transfer junior defensive tackles Isi Holani (6-foot-3, 300-pound) and DeeIsaac Davis (6-3, 290) made their presence known during the first

DeeIsaac Davis. He was in our backfield a bunch today in the team setting.

We didn’t see a lot of those tackles in that backfield last year, but they were in our backfield a lot today.” l Tuesday practice postponed: Storms that moved through the area on Tuesday forced Beaty and company to push back spring practice No. 2 to today.

The Jayhawks will conduct one more practice in helmets and shorts and a third in helmets and shoulder pads before suiting up in full pads for the remainder of the spring session.

l Players of the day: The votes are in and Beaty has handed out the first awards of spring football.

Senior safety Greg Allen (defense), junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. (special teams) and junior offensive lineman Jayson Rhodes (offense) earned player of the day honors following Sunday’s practice.

Beaty announced the winners on Twitter, saying, “Congrats to (Greg Allen, Joe Dineen and Jayson Rhodes)!!!

Stepped up BIG in practice #1. #PlayersoftheDay #EarnIt.”

Clearly, Beaty would much prefer to have Willis fully healthy this spring. But, ever the optimist, the second-year KU coach found a way to paint Willis’ setback in a positive light.

“He’ll do what he can do,” Beaty said. “It’s not necessarily the worst thing in the world that he’s not going through some of it. We don’t take as many risks there, (and) he’s still going to be able to do a whole lot, which is good. And I can train him

a lot without even taking a ball under center.”

Given that Beaty already has experience at Kansas losing a potential starting quarterback for the season to injury during the spring — Michael Cummings blew out his knee in last year’s spring game — that smaller-risk bit seemed meaningful.

But it’s not just the safety-first narrative or Willis’ ability to get something positive out of practices even though he can’t grip or throw a football that has Beaty optimistic that the sophomore’s injury will wind up being good for Kansas football.

“It’s gonna give us the

practice of the spring last Sunday.

“I talk all the time about turning on that tape, and when you look at that butt view of the tape you need to be seeing butts from hash to hash,” Beaty said. “That’s kind of what big-time football looks like, and those guys are really big, good-looking dudes.”

Beaty said both should have a big impact on the defense this fall.

“It’s really early to tell,” Beaty said. “But they both did a great job in the offseason and that’s usually a great indicator for big guys like that. “(Holani) is a strong dude, and I really like

Still, I had to be careful not to overcook it. The key is to cook the puree in a skillet with a wide bottom, which allows it to heat up in a matter of minutes.

And as long as you wait until the last moment to add the fresh lemon juice, then serve the dish right away, the sauce will stay green, green, green rather than turning gray.

If you’d prefer to keep this recipe meat-free, omit the prosciutto.

If you’re not a fan of tarragon, swap in basil or dill. However you customize it, this salmon will put one and all in a holiday mood.

sugar 6 eggs 8 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate

Directions: Mist the interior of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Arrange the cherries in an even layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, 2 at a time, beating well between additions. Stir in the flourpowdered sugar mixture in 2 additions, then stir in the bittersweet chocolate.

Spoon the mixture over the cherries and smooth the top.

Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until set up at the edges and very fudgy and puddinglike in the middle. Let sit for 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Entertaining should not be about fuss or pomp. I want my focus to be on my company. And on making sure the food packs tons of big, satisfying flavor. Not much beyond that matters.

Which is why I tend to gravitate to a particular version of family-style dining when I have guests. It’s not just a matter of having shared dishes, though that’s certainly a start. My approach is more about how the food is presented and consumed, delivering the message that this meal is about comfort and friendship.

Here’s how it works. I start with a base. The base should be something easily spread. Hummus is a great choice.

Many salads and roasted vegetables work, too. Savory yogurt dips work, particularly if you’re going for a Greek menu. Whatever you opt for, this base is spread thick over a large serving platter.

Next, you decide what to top that with. I love roasted or seared meats that have been cut into bite-size portions.

Roasted vegetables would be a great vegetarian version. Same for beans and cheese. Whatever you go with, this is heaped on top of the base layer. You finish with a sprinkle of something that ties everything together, such as chopped fresh herbs or crumbled goat cheese.

Now set the platter in the center of the table and give your guests something to scoop with. Could be flatbread.

Could be lettuce leaves. Could be tortilla chips. And that’s it. Get everyone to dig in, quite literally.

Some of my favorite versions of this have included a Frito pie (a layer of corn chips topped by grilled and sliced flank steak, cheese and other taco toppings); a garlicky hummus topped by ground beef browned with onions and served with flatbread; and tzatziki topped with roasted root vegetables and crumbled feta cheese.

Lately, I’ve been making this version, which is both unusual, yet familiar and comforting. It starts with a base of carrot hummus (made as you would regular hummus, but substituting cooked carrots for the chickpeas) topped with seared leg of lamb seasoned with cumin and topped with crumbled soft goat cheese. Sound like a lot to coordinate?

It’s actually quite simple and comes together in no time.

CARROT HUMMUS WITH CUMIN LAMB Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 6

Ingredients: 2 pounds carrots, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks 1 cup water 5 tablespoons tahini 4 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 large yellow onion, diced 1 tablespoon cumin seeds 1/2 cup white wine 2 ounces crumbled soft goat cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint Pita bread, warmed, to serve Directions: In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until the carrots are very tender and there are only a couple tablespoons of water remaining in the pan.

Transfer the carrots and liquid in the pan to a food processor. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until smooth, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Trim as much fat as possible from the lamb, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the cubes with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the canola oil. Add the lamb cubes and sear on all sides until nicely browned but not quite cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. You may need to do this in batches, adding a bit more oil with each batch. Transfer the cooked lamb to a plate. Return the skillet to the heat and add the onion and cumin seeds. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onion is tender.

Add the wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. After 1 minute, return the lamb and any juices on the plate to the skillet, stir well and heat for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

To assemble, use a large spoon to spread the carrot hummus over a serving platter, creating a slight depression at the center.

Spoon the lamb and onions over the hummus. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and mint. Serve with pita bread.

salmon, reduce the heat to medium, and brown the salmon on all 4 sides, about 3 minutes total.

Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet, retaining the skillet. Bake on the oven’s

middle shelf until slightly undercooked at the center, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a blender combine the parsley, tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cream, cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth puree. Set aside.

Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the oil remaining in the skillet, then heat over medium. Add the

shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the puree and bring to a boil, stirring.

Add the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 1 minute.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water.

Spoon some of the sauce into the center of 4 serving plates. Set one salmon fillet onto each.

Serve immediately.

Two recent studies have confirmed that omega-3 supplements can in fact greatly reduce symptoms of dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Andrea Olenik, MD, of the Jimenez Diaz Foundation in Madrid, Spain, and her colleagues in the Dry Eye Study Group treated 905 patients with varying degrees of dry eye syndrome. The patients were an average of 60 years old, and 72 percent of them were women.

Olenik and her colleagues asked the subjects to take three daily capsules of a formula providing omega-3 fish oils, vitamin A, and small amounts of other vitamins and minerals for 12 weeks. The daily dose was 1,050 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 127.5 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), along with 1,332 IU of vitamin A. By the end of the study, the patients had significant improvements in dry eye syndrome. On average, all dry eye symptoms had decreased by 43 percent. In addition, the percentage of patients with strong symptoms of dry eye decreased from 53 to 34 percent.

Just over 68 percent of patients reported that they tolerated their contact lenses far better after taking the supplements, and the average number of daily applications of artificial tears also decreased significantly.

In a separate study, Haleh Kangari, OD, PhD, and colleagues at the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran, treated 64 patients with either omega-3 supplements or placebos daily for 30 days.

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

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

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