y now, Katelyn Kelly just assumes the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade is held for her.

Every March 17 since the one she was born, in 2010, her parents have celebrated the anniversary of her birth by building a float in her honor and entering it in the annual Lawrence parade.

“This is her birthday party every year,” said Katelyn’s mom, Sarah, as she put the finishing touches on the float before Monday’s parade. “She thinks the parade is for her.”

Katelyn’s float was among more than 100 entries in this year’s parade, which drew thousands of green-clad spectators and a cast of Irish-themed characters to downtown Lawrence.

Topeka ­— The Kansas University Medical School won re-accreditation despite concerns voiced by KU officials to legislators that lack of funding for a $75 million health education building could have jeopardized accreditation.

Even so, the need for a new building remains a concern going forward, officials said.

KU announced Monday that it received full accreditation for the next eight years, which is the longest period possible.

But the school’s accreditors, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), cited the school for noncompliance in two areas and said the school must show progress in six other areas by Aug. 1, 2015.

And one of those areas that the school must show progress in is improving its training facilities at the Kansas City, Kan., campus.

the chamber’s Ways and Means Committee expected to reopen discussions of the public school budget on Thursday.

The Kansas Supreme Court’s recent ruling said past cuts in aid to poor school districts created unconstitutional gaps in funding between them and wealthier districts. The court ordered lawmakers to fix the problem by July 1.

Arpke and two senators met briefly Monday to enable debate on the issue through a minor addition to a budget report, which contained most of the recommendations made at the start of the legislative session by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Arpke, a Salina Republican, said more state spending was likely to be proposed to comply with the order, but it was more

Springing into action

Education officials ponder application of Rose standards Some question if measures from 1989 ruling relevant for today’s schools

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court set out a new standard recently for determining whether the state has met its obligation to provide adequate funding for public schools.

But it has left some education officials in the state curious about how the new standard will actually work in deciding how much money schools should get.

Previously, the court had said funding has to be sufficient to cover the “actual cost� of providing all the educational services required of public schools. But in its I think what the board is really looking ruling March 7, the court for is a kind of a green light, yellow light, made a dramatic change, saying funding needs to be red light.� sufficient to produce the educational outcomes that Kansas, and many other states, expect. — Regents Vice Chairman Kenny Wilk The new benchmarks are commonly called the “Rose standards� because they rameters to kind of let you know kind of a green light, yellow light, come from a landmark 1989 if you are in a good solid zone, red light,� he said. school finance case in Kenare you moving into a cautious The six universities’ revenue tucky, Rose v.

Regents looking to tighten policies for financing improvement projects “

By Scott Rothschild

Twitter: @ljwrothschild

Topeka — With the amount of bond debt at Kansas public universities increasing, the Kansas Board of Regents is working on tightening policies when it assesses the financing of capital improvement projects. “The regents has a debt policy today; it’s pretty ambiguous,� said Regents Vice Chairman Kenny Wilk. “Sitting in the board seat, it doesn’t really give you any pa-

use,� Kansas Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said. “It’s the case that set the precedent.

Whether they’re right DeBacker or not, nobody else has come out with anything else to do the measuring against.�

In Rose, the Kentucky court described a broad set of skill sets and knowledge that students should have after completing school.

They cover seven general areas, including communication skills; knowledge of economic, social and political systems; understanding of governmental processes; knowledge of one’s own mental and physical wellness; grounding in the arts; and sufficient preparation in academic or vocational fields to enable students to choose a career and enter either higher education or the workplace.

Man ticketed for painting traditional parade stripe

By Shawn F. Linenberger slinenberger@ljworld.com

Tonganoxie — A green stripe has been painted down Fourth Street all but one year of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade through downtown Tonganoxie.

It always was said that “leprechauns” painted the green line along the downtown street.

But Saturday morning, the tradition’s luck ran out.

Charlie “Tuna” Conrad started painting a green line up the street about 5:15 a.m. Saturday

in advance of the town’s parade set to start a few hours later.

He started to paint near Fourth and Main streets, the start of the parade route and home to his restaurant, Flashbacks.

C o n r a d painted the length of a few storefronts when a Tonganoxie police officer stopped him. He said the officer asked whether he was Tuna and then asked for a driver’s license.

The officer cited Con-

rad for criminal damage to property.

He’s to appear in municipal court at 1 p.m.

April 17 in Tonganoxie City Council Chambers for the misdemeanor charge.

“The day we can’t put a line down the street is the day it needs to end,” Conrad said Sunday about the parade.

He said the green stripe is a tradition that honors late parade founder John McCaffrey, a longtime youth baseball coach who started the parade in the 1980s. Several people have helped paint the line over

Kansas University announced the resignation of one of its top spokespeople Monday.

in as interim director until a permanent replacement is hired.

The university said a national search will begin soon to fill the position.

Medical During the 2014 legislative session, KU officials have told legislators that without assistance in building a new $75 million health education building, the school faced accreditation problems.

On Monday, Douglas Girod, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center, said the school was surprised it wasn’t cit-

ed for an inadequate training building at the Kansas City campus after LCME visited the school’s campuses in October 2013.

“Based on comments from LCME visitors last fall, we anticipated a citation for lack of facilities appropriate for our curriculum,” Girod said. “We are fortunate they didn’t issue a citation, but the accreditors made it clear this is an area that needs immediate attention.”

“The LCME said we are still in compliance, but that we need to fix the problem,” Girod said. “In

word, in a Kansas law that was adopted following the last school finance case. But they are used in that context as “legislative goals” for the content of school coursework, not as a guide for determining funding.

And noticeably absent from that list is any mention of math or science, which are key components of the curriculum standards adopted by the Kansas State Board of Education.

“I think that’s a discussion that this board will have,” DeBacker said.

“Are they as up to date as what we are in education across the United States, especially given the higher standards we’ve put in place?

Colo. man pleads guilty in robbery A 37-year-old Colorado man pleaded guilty today to a bank robbery that occurred in Lawrence in September, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office.

In his plea, Matthew W. Headley, of Canon City, Colo., admitted entering US Bank, 1807 W. 23rd

now,” according to the U.S. attorney’s statement.

Officers with the Lawrence Police Department were dispatched to the scene and arrested Headley at a nearby convenience store.

Sentencing is set for June 9. The defense and prosecution have agreed to recommend a 24-month sentence in a federal prison, the statement said.

Headley has a record of armed robbery in Lawrence. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to robbing Taco John’s, 1101 W. Sixth St., and a local liquor store.

He was released from a federal prison in 2007.

August 2015, they won’t be satisfied with ‘we’re working on it.’ We need to show real progress on our building project in the next 17 months.”

According to the LCME findings, “students and faculty express dissatisfaction with the current state of facilities, including inadequate seating, particularly in the first-year lecture hall and the number of small-group classrooms that limit the school’s ability to fully incorporate active learning on the Kansas City campus.”

Girod said school offi-

the years, Conrad said.

Even some police officers have blocked early morning traffic so the line could be painted, he said.

But Nathan McCommon, Tonganoxie’s City Administrator since 2012, said the line was a traffic hazard and painting it a violation.

He said he recalled a conversation with Conrad last year about the line being a city violation, but Conrad didn’t indicate at the time that he was doing the painting. And, thus, McCommon didn’t realize Conrad was painting the stripe.

The board of trustees for the Lawrence Public Library expressed uncertainty about placing an ice skating rink in between its permanent location and new parking garage on Vermont Street Monday.

The plot of land in question, which is owned by the city, is expected to be used as an area for outdoor concerts and programs hosted by the library.

Several trustees expressed concern that a

skating rink, even one that is disassembled for the warmer months, would detract from that.

“What does matter is there’s an aesthetic that goes with this library and its going to change the space and the balance,” trustee Christopher Burger said.

The board approved a resolution saying that “changes to the space should not significantly negatively affect the overall library space or function” and that the “space should support multiple uses.”

Nevertheless, trustees also acknowledged potential benefits of the rink.

“It has a nice community draw to it,” trustee David Vance said.

In February, the Journal-World reported that the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department planned to spend about $1,200 to have the architects of the Lawrence Public Library expansion determine how the area between the library and the new parking structure could be modified to accommodate a seasonal rink.

cials are continuing discussions with Gov. Sam Brownback and the Legislature about the importance of the new building.

“The KU Medical Center is a tremendous asset for our state,” said state Sen. Ty Masterson, RAndover, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

“We look forward to ongoing conversations and are committed to working with KU officials on how to address these concerns so as to avoid any future issues with accreditation,” he said.

The school was cited for noncompliance for a lack of diversity on the faculty and for a lack of dedicated facilities for medical students at the KU Hospital.

“We need to increase diversity and inclusion in all areas, which is why it’s an ultimate goal of our strategic plan,” Girod said.

Concerning diversity, the percentage of American Indian, black, Asian, Hispanic and female students and faculty lags behind the percentages of those groups in the general state population.

For example, women make up half the population, but 42 percent of students and 35 percent of full-time faculty.

Hispanics make up 10.8 percent of the population, but 5.7 percent of students and 2.5 percent of full-time faculty.

The accreditation report praised KU for establishing innovative education programs to address the state’s need for rural physicians and for its faculty professional development program.

“Overall, this is a very good report,” Girod said.

For now, all the regents universities are safely in the area of what is considered good debt to operating revenue ratio, according to Moody’s Investors Service.

“I think we’re actually in good shape right now, so this is the time to be working on it,” Wilk said.

tary schools have been adequately funded.

“It depends on how anxious you are,” Neuenswander said.

The Supreme Court did not set a deadline for the lower court’s threejudge panel to reconsider the case, and an aide to presiding judge Frank Theis said the panel has not yet come up with a schedule.

ficials say the debt load has increased because the state has essentially stopped appropriating funds to construct buildings on college campuses.

And while the universi-

ties have increased their private donations, Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz said that alone can’t meet their needs.

“We’re caught between a rock and a hard place.

set educational standards,” she said. “These standards are set in terms of financing. Do they have language that’s a little bit outdated? Absolutely.”

In its ruling last week, the Supreme Court remanded back to a lower court the question of whether the state is currently providing adequate funding, and it directed the lower court to use the Rose standards as the guide.

That raises the question of what kind of evidence the special threejudge panel will take into account when it reconsiders the case.

“I think we have to be careful,” said Brad Neuenswander, deputy commissioner for learning services. “In all the research around college and career readiness, there’s not one test that measures everything.

And at the same time, it’s probably not best that

you have a standardized statewide test to measure every skill that a kid needs.”

Neuenswander said courts in the future may want to consider things like the number of high school graduates who need remedial courses SCHOOLS w h e n they get to college, or even Department of Labor in-

formation about how successful they are in the workplace once they leave school.

“Those are probably better measures than how kids did on a test,” he said.

Those kinds of measurements, though, present another challenge for courts, because it could take five or more years to determine whether funding was sufficient when a given student entered high school and perhaps longer to determine whether elemen-

Conrad said four other Tonganoxie business owners have already approached him about chipping in to cover any fine he would have to pay next month after his court appearance.

Other Tonganoxie residents also have offered money.

He said he’s not trying to cause any problems for the city, simply carrying on tradition.

“I’m trying to do what people expect to see,” Conrad said. “I do it out of respect.”

Library board of trustees wary of Vermont Street ice rink idea

What happens when we have to build a $200 million science building?” he said.

Regent Tim Emert said the increasing reliance on debt concerns him.

“If something goes belly up, the students are going to pay for it.

It’s not going to be the Legislature. It’s pretty apparent the Legislature will approve of anything they like and don’t have to pay for,” he said.

If something goes belly up, the students are going to pay for it. It’s not going to be the Legislature.”

McCommon said Monday he just became aware of the history that came with the line, but he hopes a more temporary substance could be used in future parades.

“I think he’s got some washable options if he’s willing to go that route,” McCommon said.

Faint remnants from last year’s striping still can be seen down Fourth Street.

In 1997, a JournalWorld story about the green stripe made the issue more public. So public, in fact, that an area lumber center donated

viser to President Barack Obama is scheduled to give a Landon Lecture at Kansas State University.

Thomas Donilon will speak April 15 at the Manhattan campus. It’s the second lecture of the year in the series named for former Gov. Alf Landon.

Donilon headed the National Security Council until resigning in June 2013. During his tenure he was involved in the administration’s counterterrorism strategy, including the 2012 raid on a compound in Pakistan that led to the death of Osama bin Laden.

He also worked in the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton in various diplomatic and security capacities.

Topeka — Both Republican incumbent Sam Brownback and Democratic challenger Paul Davis have made key campaign appointments in this year’s Kansas governor’s race.

Brownback announced recently that Mark Dugan would serve as his re-election campaign manager.

Dugan has been serving as Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer’s chief of staff since Brownback and Colyer took office in January 2011.

Brownback’s campaign said it will be based in Wichita.

Meanwhile, Davis announced that Chris Pumpelly will be his campaign press secretary.

Groups fight changes in evidence rules for personal injury lawsuits

Under the bill, the cap on noneconomic damages would rise to $300,000 in July, then to $325,000 in July 2018 and $350,000 in — Two law- July 2022.

Associated Press

Topeka yers’ groups tried Monday to persuade legislators that proposed changes in evidence rules favored by business and medical groups are a bad trade-off for higher limits on some damages in personal injury lawsuits.

Terry Loewen, an avionics technician, has pleaded not guilty to charges related to his arrest Dec. 13 in a sting operation after allegedly trying to bring a van filled with explosives onto the tarmac at MidContinent Airport in Wichita. Among those charges is attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The bill under discussion would expand the state criminal code regarding terrorism to include anyone who commits a terrorist act, those who “hinder the prosecution of any such crime”

they have resisted efforts to increase the state’s $250,000 cap on noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering, fearing it would increase insurance premiums for businesses and health care providers. But they’re feeling pressure to accept an increase in the limit because of an October 2012 ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court in a medical malpractice lawsuit.

The court said the cap on noneconomic damages is constitutional but the majority also said it is troubling that the cap hadn’t been adjusted for inflation since its enactment in 1988.

Lobbyists for the chamber, the Kansas Medical Society and Kansas Hospital Association acknowledged that they’re nervous about a

later legal challenge.

The proposed changes in evidence rules strike a balance while preserving the cap, they said.

“This is a unique opportunity that we have to have a package of reforms put together,” Kansas Chamber President and CEO Mike O’Neal, a former House speaker, testified.

Under the bill, the cap on noneconomic damages would rise to $300,000 in July, then to $325,000 in July 2018 and $350,000 in July 2022.

One change in evidence rules would give judges discretion to limit testimony from purported experts, a move that backers said would prevent juries from considering “junk” science in lawsuits. Both the Bar Association and the

Kansas Association for Justice, the trial lawyers’ group, predicted the change would lead to longer and costlier litigation.

The two groups consider the other change an even bigger shift in policy. It would reverse a policy of not having juries hear whether alleged injury victims already have losses covered by insurance or other sources.

O’Neal, of the Chamber, and other critics of the “collateral-source” rule argued that it results in double payments for injuries, driving up costs. They said the change would still leave it to juries to decide whether to adjust damages to reflect such compensation.

But Fleming, the attorney, and other opponents of the change said the current, long-standing rule dates to Kansas statehood in 1861 and that abolishing it will help only help wrongdoers avoid compensating their victims.

Lawmakers scolded for ‘presumption of guilt’ wording in terrorism debate and those who “conceal or aid in the escape of any such crime. It also would allow victims of such crimes to file lawsuits and seek civil penalties against anyone involved.

“A few y e a r s ago we wouldn’t have maybe even been disJones cussing a bill that takes civil action and forfeiture of property for acts of terror on Kansas property,” Rep. Kevin Jones, a Wellsville Republican, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. “This bill is being brought before you at this time in light of recent events that happened in Wichita where a man attempted to drive what he thought was a van loaded with explosives onto the tarmac at the Wichita airport with the intent to kill as many

innocent people as possible. So this bill is very appropriate for right now.”

His testimony was similar to comments he gave on the House side, where the bill passed 123-0.

Attorneys on both sides of the Loewen case, which is in the early stages, said they couldn’t comment.

Wichita defense attorney Dan Monnat, who is not involved with the Loewen case but has been following it, said Jones should choose his words more carefully.

“I’m always disheartened when I hear American government officials ignoring our time-honored presumption of innocence and right to a fair trial,” Monnat said.

“None of us know anything about the Terry Loewen case. We only know the accusations of the government. Those accusations, as in any other case, must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Jones said Friday that Monnat has a good point.

“That’s actually a legitimate concern,” Jones said. “It was not my intention to prespeak on a trial if he actually hasn’t gone through a full trial and been proven guilty.”

He said his testimony was based on news reports of allegations against Loewen, and he agrees that wording of his testimony might come off as condemning Loewen prematurely.

Any comments by Jones and others asserting or implying Loewen’s guilty could be prejudicial if widely publicized, said William Rich, a Washburn Law School professor who specializes in torts and constitutional law.

“What legislative action could do, and particularly all the news reports associated with the legislation is to create an unfair environment for his trial,” Rich said.

Kansas basketball Kansans can be excused for being a little basketball crazy this week as three Kansas teams head to the NCAA Tournament.

K

ansas certainly is making a statement as a big player in the college basketball scene.

The brackets announced Sunday for the NCAA Tournament include teams from all three of the state’s largest public universities: Kansas University, Kansas State and Wichita State. The undefeated WSU Shockers are a No. 1 seed, and KU is close behind with a No. 2 seed. KSU enters the tournament as a No. 9 seed and would face Wichita in the second round if both teams win their first games.

If the traffic seems a little heavier than usual on Interstate 70 across Missouri later this week, it probably has something to do with all three Kansas teams playing their first games in St. Louis on Friday. Kansas fans alone should make sure there’s a full house for the Midwest and South regionals in St. Louis.

In addition to the Kansas basketball coup, the Big 12 Conference also made a significant claim on the distinction of being the nation’s most powerful basketball conference. Seven of the conference’s 10 teams are playing in the championship tournament, more than any other conference — including many larger conferences — in the country.

Some analysts picking apart the bracket assignments have said that KU’s South regional — with the nation’s top seed, Florida — is the toughest of the four. Many others, however, pointed to the Midwest, where Wichita is the top seed. The Shockers are undefeated, but some observers note the team hasn’t played many top-ranked teams.

It almost looks as if the NCAA selection committee made sure that didn’t happen in the tournament by putting WSU in the same bracket with such traditional powerhouses as Michigan, Duke, Kentucky and Louisville.

The NCAA tournament has become a premiere athletic event for both college basketball players and spectators.

The fact that one loss means the end to a team’s tournament run heightens the joy of victory and the agony of defeat.

Teams know that every tournament has its upsets and seedings don’t always mean that much once the players take the court.

Kansas has a special basketball tradition and it’s great to see all three major university teams taking their place among the tournament field. We congratulate all three and wish them well.

Humanitarian strategy needed in Syria The Russian invasion of Ukraine should finally end the administration’s fantasy that Moscow will help stop the war in Syria.

And it ought to force the White House to forge a new strategy to deal with the most shocking humanitarian crisis of the century, which is spilling over from Syria to all of its neighbors. Otherwise, the level of human suffering will get much, much worse.

U.S. officials have insisted for three years that there was no military solution in Syria; they clung to delusions that Russia would convince Bashar al-Assad to make way for a transitional government and free elections. But those hopes reached a dead end at failed Geneva peace talks, where the Russians refused to pressure the Syrian regime.

Just as Vladimir Putin used military force in Ukraine to try to restore an ally to power, the Russian leader has armed and encouraged Assad to retain power at any human cost.

Assad’s key weapon is his willingness to commit the most brutal war crimes.

That means besieging whole towns, starving residents, targeting civilians with mass bombing of residential areas and poison gas. His planes have deliberately destroyed schools and hospitals; his militias try to kill doctors in rebel-held areas.

Meanwhile, Assad insists that all humanitarian aid be funneled through the Syrian government; United Nations agencies and many private aid groups are wary

Assad’s key weapon is his willingness to commit the most brutal war crimes.” of disobeying lest he shut down their operations in Damascus. As a result, much of the aid never reaches the neediest civilians.

Assad’s goal is to depopulate cities and towns held by rebels and drive their populations into neighboring countries, or displace them within Syria. The regime hopes this strategy will force the opposition to quit, and will pressure Arab neighbors to end support for the rebels. When it comes to war crimes, there are no holds barred.

“This is a war without end, a war without limits, a war without law,” said David Miliband, the former British foreign minister who now heads the International Rescue Committee, one of the most active humanitarian agencies helping Syrians in need. “The targeting of civilians has happened before, but the way it is happening here, by barrel bombs (filled with shrapnel and dropped on residential areas), by starvation . . . people thought

this wouldn’t happen again.”

Nearly half the Syrian population, at least 9.3 million people, are either refugees abroad or in desperate straits within their own country. Whole cities — such as glorious, historic and ancient Aleppo, have been largely reduced to rubble by regime bombers. More than 130,000 Syrians have died.

A whole generation of children has become victim, as detailed in a poignant report just issued by Save the Children. It estimates that at least 10,000 children have died in the conflict, with millions more bereft of schooling and health care. In what was once a middle-class country, the medical system has collapsed, leading to an increase in the deaths of newborns and a polio epidemic.

But Bashar bombs on, driving at least 2.3 million Syrians (and perhaps twice that many) to quit Syria.

This has created dangerous financial and social tensions in neighboring countries, including Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. In the latter, with its population of just over 4 million, at least one million Syrian refugees have sought shelter. It’s as if the entire population of Germany had washed up on U.S. shores as refugees.

While the United States has taken the lead in Syrian humanitarian aid, with $1.7 billion, money alone can’t address this huge crisis. On Friday, a bipartisan group of 19 senators, including Robert Casey, D-Pa., called for President Obama to submit a “new humanitarian

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 18, 1914: “Charges of chicken stealing have been preferred years against two boys, ages 10 ago and 12 years and the pair are IN 1914 facing a term in the state industrial school at Topeka. ... They were taken in town by the police last night but after a sleep in the city jail were turned over to the juvenile court. It is alleged that the youths stole some hens from H. S. Fillmore on north Maine street.

They took the poultry to a butcher shop and attempted to make a deal with the butcherman. However, the police ended negotiations and the boys and the chickens were taken to the police station.”

strategy.” I asked him what he had in mind.

“It’s important that there be a more aggressive approach,” Casey said, because “there are still problems with aid delivery.” That would mean giving teeth to a recent U.N. resolution that calls on Assad to lift sieges of populated areas and allow unhindered aid delivery across borders — without going through Damascus.

Which leads to Casey’s second, and key point: “Given the scale of the suffering, you have to change the dynamic on the battlefield … to arrive at a strategy of getting humanitarian aid delivered and alleviating some of the suffering.”

Specifically, Casey suggested it was time to ensure that well-vetted opposition groups get the weapons they need to prevent government bombing and shelling of civilians, and to guarantee that aid reaches the needy.

It may be more difficult to do this today — with a more fragmented opposition — than it would have been one or two years ago. But it must be tried.

I agree. Without such aid, Assad will keep bombing Syrian civilians, backed by Moscow and Tehran. He will depopulate much of his country and put an unbearable strain on his Arab neighbors. The administration needs a new humanitarian strategy for Syria before he succeeds.

In the article written by Wes Crenshaw and Kendra Schwartz (“Why a generation of boys is failing in school and life,” J-W, March 11), I noticed a somewhat saddening sentiment expressed in Schwartz’s reply to the topic. In her own words, “As a self-proclaimed feminist, I see no harm in girls outperforming boys … ” I wanted to address this statement in order to both provide the perspective of a young man and elucidate a school of thought among some feminists that I believe may prove harmful in allowing both genders to flourish.

To preface my writing; I am a male, 22-year-old college graduate who has earned a degree in chemical engineering. I cannot claim to speak for the entirety of my gender, but I believe that my words might offer Chestnut some perspective.

As Crenshaw stated, girls my age are “granddaughters of feminism.” I would extend this idea and call men my age “grandsons of feminism.” For men my age, the idea of being equals to women does not disturb us. I don’t feel slighted if I am required to report to a female superior. I have worked side by side with women many times as peers and I do not find that equitable relationship strange.

I am not the men of centuries past. I do not cling to an arcane philosophy where women must be subjugated to preserve

YOUR TURN the “natural order of things.” I believe that men of my generation share this sentiment and desire for both genders to move forward as equals.

Despite these feelings, I feel that the goals of my gender are viewed as different from the goals of feminism. I feel that this sentiment is very clearly expressed in Schwartz’s statement in that she sees no harm if young men fail. However, I understand why this feeling exists. Feminism emerged as a response to horrible abuses of women by men. I can understand why feminist could view their goal as independent of men and almost view men as adversaries. They could see this failing of boys as a concern that does not hamper their goals.

However, I would ask any feminist one thing: Will you let crimes of the past skew how you view this new generation of men? There is a danger that you may allow the sins of past men to poison your perspective. You may be tempted to see boys of this young generation as separate from you and their failures as not your own. However, I believe that would be a mistake.

Our genders are wrapped together in a way that will never allow us to truly be independent from one another. I would humorously suggest that our method of reproduction will most certainly never allow us to live apart. The struggles of both genders affect the other. Our world loses something whenever a young girl can’t achieve her fullest potential. We’ll never know how many brilliant female

scientists, writers and politicians our world loses every year.

My question, then, is will we allow our society to err in the other direction? If this generation of boys flounders, how many Faulkners, Hawkings and Obamas will fade into obscurity, rather than developing their full potential? We may lose the man who develops a cure for breast cancer. We may lose the man who champions sexual assault prevention. Both the female and male gender loses when boys fail.

Additionally, I believe if feminists chose to not address the struggles of boys, they miss the opportunity to do something great. Imagine what could be accomplished if you stood next to me as an ally. You could help me raise a generation of men who unanimously view rape as a vile transgression that should never be treated with triviality.

You could help me raise a generation of men who love their female romantic partners as companions who they value for their minds and souls. You could help me raise a generation of men who will invest themselves completely in both their daughters and their sons.

How far could our nation go if men and women banded together to ensure the success of both genders? Could we raise a generation where sexism is remembered as a strange, nonsensical belief of the past?

We can only achieve this together.

Kiev, Ukraine — Ignoring the toughest sanctions against Moscow since the end of the Cold War, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula as an “indepenPutin dent and sovereign country” on Monday, a bold challenge to Washington that escalates one of Europe’s worst security crises in years.

The brief decree posted on the Kremlin’s website came just hours after the United States and the European Union announced asset freezes and other sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian officials involved in the Crimean

the government more than ever censored materials it turned over or fully denied access to them, in 244,675 cases or 36 percent of all requests. On 196,034 other occasions, the government said it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the government determined the request to be unreasonable or improper.

Sometimes, the government censored only a few words or an employee’s phone number, but other times it completely marked out nearly every paragraph on pages.

The chief of the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy, which oversees the open records law, told the Senate last week that some of the 99 agencies in the past five years have released documents in full or in part in more than 90 percent of cases. She noted the record number of requests for government records, which exceeded 700,000 for the first time last year, and said decisions are harder than ever.

In a year of intense public interest over the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, the government cited national security to withhold information a record 8,496 times — a 57 percent increase over a year earlier and more than double Obama’s first year, when it cited that reason 3,658 times. The Defense Department, including the NSA, and the CIA accounted for nearly all those. And five years after Obama directed agencies to less frequently invoke a “deliberative process” exception to withhold materials describing decision-making behind the scenes, the government did it anyway, a record 81,752 times.

Citizens, journalists, businesses and others last year made a record 704,394 requests for information, an 8 percent increase over the previous year. The government responded to 678,391 requests, an increase of 2 percent over the previous year. The AP analysis showed that

New York — Researchers say they have spotted evidence that a splitsecond after the Big Bang, the newly formed universe ballooned out at a pace so astonishing that it left behind ripples in the fabric of the cosmos.

If confirmed, experts said, the discovery would be a major advance in the understanding of the early universe. Although many scientists already believed that an initial, extremely rapid growth spurt happened, they have long sought the type of evidence cited in the new study.

The results reported Monday emerged after researchers peered into

Supporters of the militia, which calls for autonomy for the eastern half of Libya, vowed Monday to try again to export oil again from the ports they control.

The attempted sale of the oil — Libya’s most crucial resource — was a stark symbol of the weakness of Libya’s central government, which has been unable to impose its authority over the North African nation since the ouster and killing of longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Washington (ap) — The Obama administration more often than ever censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The administration cited more legal exceptions it said justified withholding materials and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy. Most agencies also took longer to answer records requests, the analysis found.

The government’s own figures from 99 federal agencies covering six years show that half way through its second term, the administration has made few meaningful improvements in the way it releases records despite its promises from Day 1 to become the most transparent administration in history.

In category after category — except for reducing numbers of old requests and a slight increase in how often it waived copying fees — the government’s efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office.

bout to start chemotherapy the other day, Michael Meyer was in a joking mood.

“It’s been a treat,” he said, when asked how chemo has been going so far.

That lighthearted spirit has helped Meyer get through a challenging time recently. The Lawrence geologist woke up one morning in December practically blind in one eye, his head thrumming. Doctors later found a tumor in the sinus cavity near his right eye. It was cancer.

From the start, the 61-yearold was matter of fact: Tell me what I have to do to get better and when I have to do it. He was more interested in getting a second opinion, and finding out whether Lawrence Memorial Hospital had a good oncology center, than dealing with his emotions. That attitude fits with his analytical personality (his family, not surprisingly, was slightly more concerned).

The Journal-World recently spent a day with Meyer as he underwent chemo, hoping to shed light on what many believe to be an arduous process.

LMH oncologist Irfan Jawed notes that it doesn’t have to be that way. He says younger patients often avoid the symptoms

Dear Dr. Wes & Kendra: I heard your radio show last year about how different things are for gay teens now, and I mostly agree, but some of us have older, more traditional parents, or live in a small town. I think it’s harder for us.

I’m 16 and I want to be open with my family about being a lesbian, and it’s just not that easy.

What’s the best way to go about this?

Kendra: Although there remain some obstacles, recognizing that they exist is the first step in tackling them. Whether you live in a small conservative town or liberal big city, religious or moral issues are likely.

Consider these points when making a plan that suits you best: 1. Time it right.

There’s no time like the present, but when having such an important discussion, set aside time to talk it out. You may have a lot to say and they may have a lot of questions.

2. Safety first. Most teens are still dependent on family, so you have to think about the consequences of coming out. With very anti-gay parents, you could end up kicked out of your home and into a bad or even dangerous situation.

Enlist someone like a supportive family friend, therapist or clergyperson who can provide a thirdparty point of view.

3. Come right out.

Although you may feel timid, it’s important not to beat around the bush.

Show your family you are confident in your identity.

If they see you embrace it, they may be more likely to jump on board.

4. Reintroduce yourself. Remind your family that your sexuality does not define you; it’s just another part of you. Your family loves you, and even if they do not accept you coming out at first, that should not change.

many people associate with chemotherapy: severe weakness, nausea.

Either way, he says, chemo is still the best treatment option for the majority of cancer patients. And if someone is worried about the side effects of ingesting toxic chemo drugs, the result of not treating cancer is much worse.

“Really, there is no easy way out,” Jawed said, noting that oncologists provide patients with drugs that help offset the worst chemo symptoms. “When the patients come to me, I tell them that the most important thing is the will to fight. We have some influence, but if the patient is not willing to fight, our hands our tied.”

Meyer is one of the lucky ones, in that he hasn’t suffered from some of chemo’s more severe side effects. Still, it hasn’t been a cakewalk.

Two days after each treatment, Meyer’s stomach gets “edgy,” as he describes it, which he relieves by snacking on some crackers or carrots. After that, he gets a funny taste in his mouth along with dulled taste buds. These symptoms usually last two weeks.

And after his first chemo treatment, Meyer’s hair started getting stringy and dry. It came out gradually after that, a few clumps at a time.

Now he’s gone from having a bushy, brown mane to being bald.

During an exam the other day, Meyer answered “no” to each of nurse practitioner Lori Winfrey’s questions about his symptoms — until she got to weight loss.

“I am losing weight, but that is by choice,” said Meyer, a Chicagoarea native who still has

traces of a Windy City accent. “I’m eating more fruits and vegetables but less carbs.”

“Does Dr. Jawed know about it?” Winfrey asked (Jawed was out sick on this day). “We want to let your body worry about one thing at a time, and right now it’s worrying about that cancer.”

After Meyer arrives at the oncology center every three weeks, nurses attach an IV into his port, a device implanted in his chest so he doesn’t have to be stuck with an needle every time he gets a chemo treatment.

On the recent day, there appeared to be some blockage in his port, so he was sent to radiology to find out what was going on.

In a room with a giant X-ray machine in the middle, nurses wrapped Meyer, lying on a table, in heavy blankets. As usual, Meyer cracked jokes. A nursing student in a Jayhawk radiology vest commented on how impressed she was with his positive attitude. Radiologist Jim Mandigo found a small sheath on the end of Meyer’s port, a result of the body trying to repair itself around the foreign object.

Back upstairs in the oncology department, nurses flushed out what was blocking the port.

A nurse called the oncology pharmacist, who started preparing the cocktail of drugs. The nurses pumped Meyer with Benadryl, Tylenol and anti-anxiety medication, to help him through the chemo.

Meyer would be sedentary — except for bathroom breaks, in which case he had to wheel his IV stand with him — for the next four-and-half hours. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t mind.

“It’s a nice chair you can sit in and do things, and the people are nice here,” he said. On this day, he brought along his computer so he could type up an abstract for

erage because they had a preexisting condition can enroll in the health insurance marketplace.

The social workers also help patients with decisions like living wills and powers of attorney.

In addition, LMH hosts a cancer support group at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the oncology center waiting room, 330 Arkansas St., Suite 105, as well as the Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery, or CLIMB, support group for children of cancer sufferers.

“We have a lot of resources to help heal and guide people through what can be a devastating time,” said Frost. work. Otherwise, he reads or talks on the phone.

Meyer seemed to know as much about how his treatment works as the medical professionals providing his care, as he explained each chemo drug and how it was developed. He says he’s read up on these things online since his diagnosis, but it also helps that he’s a Ph.D. research geochemist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

Even so, he isn’t sure what caused his cancer.

It might have been stress from working nights and weekends for so many years. His dad had rectal cancer but was also the type who avoided the doctor religiously.

Meyer has a different attitude.

“What’s the alternative?” he asked. “My life’s on the line. If I let it go unchecked, I would die.”

His chemo is expected to wrap up in April. After that comes radiation, which is expected to last a couple more months.

Jawed said there’s a 70 percent to 75 percent chance Meyer’s cancer will be cured.

Meyer says he isn’t so much fighting his cancer as he’s putting trust in the professionals.

“I take the attitude that I’m going to live my life,” he said. “I’m not going to let the cancer stop me from doing the things I want to do.”

“They’re going for the cure,” he added, before repeating himself, perhaps to reassure himself that his positive attitude is the right one to have.

“They’re going for the cure.”

Donors needed for 10 reasons to drink more water Lawrence blood drive

I

am sure you’ve heard that water is important. But do you drink enough? As you read this column, about 75 percent of Americans are dehydrated. Are you one of them? If so, go drink some water!

With summer right around the corner and hot temperatures just a few months away, getting enough water could not be more important.

What does water do for your body?

1. Eases joint pain, protects your spine and detoxifies. Water is in every cell, tissue and organ in our body.

2. Gives you more energy! Lack of water is a major trigger for tiredness during the day.

3. Helps prevent and ease headaches.

March is Red Cross Month and a time to thank our heroes and encourage others to join their ranks.

The Red Cross has been helping people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies for more than 130 years. Red Cross Month is an ideal time to become part of the Red Cross by donating blood, volunteering, making a financial donation or taking a class.

March first was proclaimed Red Cross Month in 1943 by President Franklin Roosevelt. Every president since has called on people across America to support the Red Cross in March.

We invite you to be a hero to patients in need by donating blood at our upcoming Lawrence Blood Drive. You can join the ranks of everyday he-

roes from noon to 6 p.m.

March 27 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2104 Bob Billings Parkway. Appointments can be made by visiting redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS. Walk-in donors are also welcome.

To give blood or platelets, someone must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in generally good health.

Eligible donors with Rh negative blood types are encouraged to give double red cells. — The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. For more information, visit redcross.org or contact executive director Jane Blocher, 843-3550 or Jane.Blocher@ redcross.org.

NEW HEARING AID HELPS KEEP YOU IN THE CONVERSATION!

Double 5. Be willing to wait for acceptance. As hard as it may be for you, some parents view having a gay daughter or son with uneasiness or even trepidation. If your parents seem willing, suggest they become involved in the local chapter of PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) for further support.

Wes: Kendra’s suggestions are so good that I’ll move on and offer a few tips for parents who are increasingly finding themselves in this situation.

1. Think ahead. For some parents, it’s no surprise when a son or daughter makes the big announcement. Others feel they’ve been transported into an alternate dimension. In 2014, parents should foresee this possibility as they would any other critical disclosure. Most parents have at least considered what they’d say if a teen comes home announcing an unplanned pregnancy or young engagement.

2. Take a deep breath.

The less you say, the less you have to take back.

Thank your child for being courageous enough to share, tell him or her that you’d like some time to think and form a response. While this may disappoint a teen hoping for a joyful hug, it’s better than saying something you’ll regret.

3. Avoid condescension. Teenagers hate to be told they’re “just going through a phase,� even if they are. A core part of adolescence is organizing your sexuality, so samesex experimentation is (and always has been) pretty normal. But in this context that response is perceived as degrading and dismissive.

4. Get help. I’ll second Kendra’s motion for reaching out. I do a lot of this work now, and it always goes better when young people come to therapy before they come out. That lets them tailor the disclosure to their unique situations and draw on the therapist’s experience. Likewise, for parents who feel they’re on shaky ground after this disclosure, a call to a professional who specializes in this area of practice is worthwhile.

every 25 pounds of extra weight you want to take off.

There are also times when you need extra water: during exercise or hot weather, when you’re running a fever, or if you have diarrhea or vomiting. Try to add at least 4 ounces of water for every 15 minutes of high intensity activity you complete, and get some extra water beforehand, too! It’s just plain good for you.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Cozart’s future at QB, not WR Todd Reesing beat out Kerry Meier in the spring of 2007, and not too long after that, Meier became one of the most prolific wide receivers in Kansas University football history.

Might that happen with Montell Cozart in the event either Jake Heaps or T.J. Millweard beats out Cozart for the starting quarterback job? Probably not.

“Montell was recruited to play quarterback,” Kansas coach Charlie Weis said when asked the question.

“I think he is good enough to play there. There is good competition at that position. No one is getting handed that job.”

Cozart, the fourth quarterback to start a game at KU under Weis (following Dayne Crist, Michael Cummings and Heaps), is the only one to win a Big 12 game, 31-19, versus West Virginia. Cozart moved great, side-stepping rushes and ever-so-smoothly striding for first downs. Everything about him looked good, except for the football sailing way over the heads of intended targets.

Cozart’s passing stats during his true freshman season: 23-for-63, no touchdown passes, two interceptions, 3.6 yards per pass attempt, a 36.5 completion percentage.

He overthrew receivers at an alarming rate. What caused that?

“I think that it was probably nerves,” Weis said.

“This is the first time he is playing real college football against the big boys at times of the game that count. You are starting against Kansas State; this isn’t like you are just playing anyone. You are playing the arch-rival. He grew up in this area, you have a pretty good idea of who you are going against.

“I think that a lot of that comes with being a freshman. I’m not making excuses for anyone. (Those are) the facts. I mean, anytime you are a freshman, you are in there, and some of those passes are sailing, you probably are a tad bit nervous.”

Cozart had a similar take on the overthrows.

“Last year that was a little bit of jitters, a little nervousness,” he said. “It seems like everything was Please see KEEGAN, page 5C

Kansas assistant recalls days at EKU

EASTERN KENTUCKY COACH JEFF NEUBAUER SIGNALS TO HIS TEAM during the first half of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship game on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn. EKU beat Belmont to earn an automatic bid to the NCAAs and will face Kansas University in the second round at 3:10 p.m. Friday in St. Louis.

EKU dismisses Embiid effect

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With just two players on the Eastern Kentucky roster standing 6-foot-8 and 11 of the 13 others coming in at 6-5 or shorter, the 15th-seeded Colonels know they caught a bit of a break by matching up with a second-seeded Kansas University squad that figures to be without 7-foot center Joel Embiid in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday in St. Louis.

Although EKU coach Jeff Neubauer remained vague in discussing whether he expected Embiid to play against his

squad Friday, KU coach Bill Self reiterated Monday that Embiid was not expected UP NEXT to suit up.

“I would love to play against a future NBA player like him,” said Stutz, a senior from Newburgh, Ind. “Either way, we just want to go out there and have fun and play regardless of who’s on the court.”

Despite missing an opportunity to test himself against one of the top big men in the country, Stutz, who averages 8.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, made sure to explain that he was not shedding any tears over facing the Jayhawks (24-9) without Embiid.

Former Western Kentucky basketball standout Kurtis Townsend remembers catching a lot of flak during a reception held before his one and only season as assistant hoops coach at Eastern Kentucky University.

“There were a lot of hard feelings about that. One of the first things they did when they introduced me ... they said, ‘Hey, a Western Kentucky grad,’ and they all booed me,” Townsend, Kansas University’s 10th-year assistant coach, said with a smile.

Townsend, who led WKU to the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference title and an NCAA Tournament bid, has fond memories of the one hectic year Townsend (1997-98) he spent at EKU, which will meet KU in a second-round NCAA Tournament game at 3:10 p.m. Friday in St. Louis.

“Back then I had to teach class and be an assistant coach. It was hard to keep up on that while recruiting, scouting, doing the games.

It was a whole lot of work,” said the former recreation teacher.

Walking down memory lane ... “I remember the 31-bypass where all the Applebee’s and everything was on,” Townsend said of a stretch of highway in Richmond, Ky., home of EKU. “I worked under a guy named Scott Perry, who is now assistant GM with the Orlando Magic. We were picked to finish 10th (in Ohio Valley), and we ended up finishing seventh. We made it to the (postseason OVC) tournament. Only the top eight teams in that league made it. We ended up losing to the second seed, Middle Tennessee, on a lastsecond shot, or we’d have been in the final four of the tournament in Nashville. I’d say we overachieved in the year I was there.”

The Colonels went 8-10 in the league, 10-17 overall in 1997-98.

“We had two great games against Murray State, which ended up being 29-2. We lost in the last three minutes of our (home) game when Mark Gottfried was their coach. We played well and had a great crowd (in 6,500 seat McBrayer Arena). I remember Please see KU HOOPS, page 3C

Study: 8 teams fail to meet standard; KU perfect Orlando, Fla. (ap) — An annual study of the schools in the men’s NCAA tournament shows a slight increase in teams that fall below graduation rate standards.

The University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport said in its report Monday that eight teams that made the 2014 men’s bracket fall below the NCAAmandated Academic Progress Rate score of 930, equivalent to a 50 percent graduation rate.

Last year six teams didn’t reach that benchmark.

Kansas University’s team is the only squad in the field of 68 to have a perfect APR and graduation rate.

Study author Richard Lapchick said while academic reforms overall have led to positive change, he urged tougher measures. He would like to see the NCAA’s four-year standard raised to a graduation rate equivalent to 60 percent.

This year 88 percent of the teams in the men’s tournament currently graduate at least 60 percent of their players.

Currently, teams scoring below a 925 APR can lose up to 10 percent of their scholarships.

Teams can also be subject to penalties for poor academic performance over time.

Teams in this year’s field that would be subject to NCAAimposed sanctions that could keep them from postseason play are: Cal Poly (925), Coastal Carolina (921), North Carolina Central (903), Oklahoma State (928), Providence (915), Texas Southern (900), Connecticut (897) and Oregon (918).

Beginning with 2012-13 championships, teams must earn a minimum 900 four-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to be eligible for NCAA championships.

In 2014, seven teams fell below 925, compared with three teams in 2013. The APR was developed by the NCAA in 2004 as a way to improve graduation rates. It is a four-year rolling average of academic performance that takes into account academic eligibility and retention.

Connecticut is back in the field following a one-year NCAA tournament ban last year after failing to meet APR minimums. UConn was one of 10 schools barred from last year’s postseason.

“The loss of scholarships and being banned from postseason play is the thing coaches dread most,” Lapchick said. “I was glad to see UConn made such a good improvement. I can’t attribute it all to (the tournament ban), but I’m sure they’re going to do everything in their power to put students on campus that can have the greatest success academically.”

“I’m probably the biggest guy on our team,” Stutz said. “I would’ve definitely been matched up with him. And 7-footers are never too easy to guard when you’re not quite that tall.”

Until Sunday night, the extent of Neubauer’s knowledge about the Jayhawks came from highlights or bits and pieces of games he caught on ESPN during the course of the season. Though limited, those viewings

how crazy the basketball part was,” Townsend said.

“The school is so close to the University of Kentucky, only 40 minutes down the road. You flew into Lexington and drove to Richmond. It’s a real small town. Everything revolves around the university. It’s an old teachers college. Their football program was really good, too.”

Townsend left EKU after a year to become an assistant coach at Michigan.

He said the current EKU team (24-9, 11-5 Ohio Valley) presents problems for the Jayhawks (24-9, 14-4).

“I think they are really good. Everybody (on court) can shoot threes,” Townsend said of a squad that has made 303 of 776 threes (39 percent), compared to their opponents’ 204 of 570 (35.8). KU has hit 184 of 533 threes for 34.5 percent; KU’s foes have made 207 of 577 for 35.9 percent.

“They beat a really

gave the ninth-year EKU coach a pretty good indication that missing Embiid against the Colonels might not hurt the Jayhawks.

“Embiid is a big difference-maker against teams that throw the ball in the post,” said Neubauer, noting that his team prefers to shoot from distance and rarely pounds the ball inside. “He’s a huge difference-maker against teams that are reliant on attacking the rim. He’s certainly a great player, and I know he makes a huge difference around the basket.”

Embiid was not the only KU player about

whom Neubauer had a strong opinion before diving into the game film and personnel breakdown that will dominate his thoughts for the next couple of days. Two other KU starters jumped to the front of the EKU coach’s mind during his initial breakdown, one from those highlights he talked about and the other from the recruiting trail.

“Andrew Wiggins is the best freshman in the country,” Neubauer said.

“I understand he’s gonna be the first pick in the NBA Draft, so I get that part. And I saw Perry Ellis play quite a bit back when he was an AAU

good Belmont team in the finals of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.

That’s another team we played last year (a 8960 KU victory in Allen) that could shoot threes really well. Those teams are hard to guard. I think they are really good. I think we’ll have a size advantage against them,” Townsend stated.

Ninth-year EKU coach Jeff Neubauer led the Colonels to the schools’ last NCAA bid — in 2007.

“I don’t know him personally. I know his background.

I know he coached with John Beilein, so they’ll probably play a lot of the same things. We may see some 1-3-1 zone and all that,” Townsend said.

player. I’m not sure why I crossed paths with his team, but I saw him play a lot. He’s very talented.”

That McDonald’s AllAmerican-type talent was the biggest thing that jumped out to Stutz when sizing up the Jayhawks immediately after learning about the match-up Sunday afternoon.

“They’re on a lot of ESPN games, so I’ve watched quite a few of their games,” Stutz said. “(The biggest thing that stands out is) definitely just the size and speed.

You’ve got a lottery pick and a future NBA player in Wiggins. He’s just a crazy athlete. And then

Townsend, by the way, has the second-longest run of any assistant coach in Kansas history. Sam Miranda worked 11 years on coach Ted Owens’ staff. l

Embiid doubtful for St. Louis games: KU coach Bill Self said on Monday’s Big 12 teleconference nothing had changed regarding Joel Embiid’s status for this weekend’s action in St. Louis.

“He’s progressing nicely. The medical staff feels good about where he is. There’s no update on a time frame,” he said of Embiid’s return from a stress fracture in his lower back.

Later on “Campus Insiders,” Self said Embiid was “doubtful for this weekend. I’m not saying he couldn’t get on the practice floor before the end of the weekend, (but) not to the point we’d put him out there and play.

I’d want him to practice 3-4-5 days before we’d do that. We’re hopeful if we are fortunate enough to advance — that’s a big if obviously with the pocket we’re in — that he’d be able to go next weekend (Sweet 16 and beyond).”

you look at Embiid … he’s a physical specimen, as well.”

Stutz and Neubauer said they realized knocking off Kansas would be an incredible challenge for a team that faced just the 234th-toughest schedule in the country this season and has limited experience against the elite-level talent KU possesses.

But Neubauer has NCAA Tournament experience as a player and a coach and knows that anything can happen in the win-or-go-home environment of the postseason. That this is the first trip there for his entire

Tisdale Award: Duke’s Jabari Parker has won the Wayman Tisdale Award, which is presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers to the country’s top freshman. KU’s Embiid and Andrew Wiggins are on the Tisdale All-America team with Parker, Tyler Ennis of Syracuse and Julius Randle of Kentucky. l

Self talked about Eastern Kentucky on the Big 12 teleconference: “I am very impressed. They are quick. They’ve got eight guys that shoot a ton of threes. They are not real big but can stretch it at a minimum of four spots at all times. They’ll try to spread us out. They get after you defensively. They are fun to watch play. I’ll study them harder today.

They play a fun style.” l

roster and his first since 2007 only makes the Colonels hungrier.

“I had just come off working for eight years for John Beilein (at Richmond and West Virginia), and he was creating miracles with our basketball teams just about every year,” Neubauer said of his former boss and current Michigan head coach. “So in my second year, we went to the tournament, and it kind of felt like it was what was supposed to happen. When you go six years and not go to the NCAA Tournament, you definitely appreciate it when you get back.”

Two Firebirds on league team J-W Staff Reports

Free State High’s two leading scorers on the girls basketball team, senior Scout Wiebe and freshman Madison Piper, earned first-team AllSunflower League honors.

Piper finished second in the league with more than 15 points per game, while Wiebe added more than 12.

UConn women No. 1 again The Associated Press

Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies hope to achieve history by the end of this NCAA Tournament.

The top-seeded Huskies (34-0) are trying for a record ninth NCAA title, which would break a tie with Tennessee for most all-time. Standing in the way of undefeated Connecticut’s run could be Notre Dame. The Irish were also unbeaten this season and earned the top seed in their own region.

It’s only the second time that two teams entered the tournament undefeated.

Despite not playing this season, the former Big East rivals know plenty about each other having met 12 times over the previous three seasons. The unbeaten wouldn’t meet until the national championship game on April 8 in Nashville. Notre Dame isn’t intimidated by Connecticut; the Irish have won seven of the past nine meetings with the Huskies.

Tennessee and South Carolina also earned No. 1 seeds. While it’s the 22nd time that the Lady Vols have earned a top spot, it’s the first for the Gamecocks. The Huskies, Lady Vols and Gamecocks all could have to play on an opponent’s home court with a trip to Nashville on the line. Stanford, Notre Dame, Louisville and Nebraska, who are all hosting regionals, were a combined 52-3 at home this season.

The Lady Vols, who won the SEC tournament championship, are the top seed in the Louisville Regional and would also like nothing more than break the tie with Connecticut and win their ninth NCAA title. They open up against Northwestern State and will be trying to end a five-year drought of not making the Final Four. The Lady Vols won’t have an easy path. West Virginia is the second seed. Host Louisville is the three seed and Maryland is the four.

Tennessee lost to Louisville in the regional final last season and could have to beat a Cardinals team that lost just once at home this year and that was to UConn.

Like their SEC rivals, the Gamecocks also may have to win on an opponent’s home court to reach the Final Four.

If the seeds hold true, South Carolina would face Stanford, which hasn’t lost at home this season. Before that contest is a potential rematch for the Gamecocks with North Carolina. The Tar Heels and their stellar freshman class, led by Diamond Deshields, beat the Gamecocks in December.

The Tar Heels also could have coach Sylvia Hatchell back on the sidelines at that point. The Hall of Famer battled leukemia during the regular season.

Moustakas, Royals cruise Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Mike Moustakas went 3-for-3, and Yordano Ventura struck out six in six dominant innings, helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Monday night.

Moustakas, who leads the Cactus League with a .486 batting average and 15 RBIs, doubled home Alex Gordon in a threerun second inning.

“He’s just smoking the ball,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s having a phenomenal spring.”

Ventura was consistently throwing 97-99 miles per hour and reaching 100 occasionally.

Yost announced after the game that the rookie right-hander had made Kansas City’s rotation for the regular season.

“It’s the obvious,” Yost said. “We’ve been looking at all of our different scenarios. I think we’ve got a rotation now. He’s fit right into that No. 3 spot.

“We knew this was probably the way it was going to go. I think after tonight we’ve seen enough. After an outing like tonight, you kind of look foolish if you try to continue to hold your cards close to your chest.”

Ventura yielded four hits and walked none. In four exhibition games,

“Electric stuff,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “He was in the sixth inning still throwing 100. When he lets it go, it comes out hot.”

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Dear Annie: My husband and I are seriously concerned about my 19-year-old sister-in-law, “Veronica.” She came to stay with us a few months ago because she was having a hard time at my mother-in-law’s house. We did not ask for any money. All we asked was that she clean up and respect a curfew so she wouldn’t wake our infant.

Everything was OK for a few weeks, and then she started spending a lot of time with “John.” Every time she walked in the house, she reeked of marijuana. She later told me that John is a drug dealer. He was kicked out of his house, and she has been letting him sleep in her car.

Last weekend, we spotted the two of them smoking pot in front of our house. That was

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

the last straw. My husband asked her to leave the next day. We told my mother-in-law in the hope that Veronica would get some help, but the entire thing has spun out of control, and my mother-in-law is no longer speaking to us.

We have since learned that most of Veronica’s friends have stopped contact because of her relationship with John.

We also learned that he was robbed and held at gunpoint in her car. We

‘Celebrities Undercover’ truly dumb We are living in a golden era of really smart TV. “Mad Men,” “True Detective,” ‘‘The Returned” and “The Americans” come to mind. But that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of dumb stuff still getting made. I mean really dumb. “What were they thinking?” dumb. ‘‘Celebrities Undercover” (9:30 p.m., Oxygen) serves as Exhibit A. Don’t confuse this show with “I Get That A Lot,” the obnoxious CBS candidcamera reality series where boldfaced names pretended to be “normal” people so they could lord their celebrity over us in a big “reveal.”

Believe it or not, “Undercover” is much more strenuously inane. On “Undercover,” celebrities will disguise themselves as regular people, not to fool them, but to hear what their fans “really think” about them.

Living with this level of vanity and insecurity must be exhausting.

In the first segment, syndicated talk show host Wendy Williams is entombed in fat-lady prosthetics, covered in a white wig and plopped into a wheelchair to blend into her own studio audience as an elderly “fan” ... of herself.

Then her producer comes out and cajoles the audience to share their true feelings about Wendy Williams. Some people think that the talk show host “talks too much.” Others have doubts about her singing talent. It doesn’t get much harsher than that.

Tonight’s other highlights

Past and present members reflect on how New Direction changed their life on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Todd tries to develop a coffee-infused rum on the season finale of “Dangerous Grounds” (8 p.m., Travel).

Kate runs wild on “Growing Up Fisher” (8:30 p.m., NBC).

A janitor reveals hidden depths on “Person of Interest” (9 p.m., CBS).

Severide feels responsible on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

A politician’s son thinks Dad needs some handling on “Mind Games” (9 p.m., ABC).

Crowe family tumult on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

A “Face Off” alumnus gets his own series, “Foxy & Co.” (9 p.m., Syfy).

BIRTHDAYS Nobel peace laureate and former South African president F.W. de Klerk is 78. Rapper-actresstalk show host Queen Latifah is 44. Actor-comedian Dane Cook is 42. Rock singer Adam Levine is 35.

worry for her safety if she continues to hang around John, but my mother-in-law refuses to believe a word we say and continues to enable Veronica’s behavior.

My husband is heartbroken over this. We don’t want our baby to be without a grandmother. How can we make her see that we are not the bad guys? — Sad in California Dear Sad: Mom cannot face up to dealing with Veronica, and you have dropped the girl back in her lap. She is frustrated and worried and taking it out on you. Veronica is an adult and must make her own choices, good or bad. Try to reestablish a relationship with your mother-inlaw without mentioning Veronica. Call and inquire whether she’d like to see her grandchild. We hope she will agree.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, March 18: This year your mind evolves to a new way of thinking, as a result of what is going on around you.

If you are single, you are likely to fall head over heels for someone this year. If you are attached, you often might be at odds with your sweetie, especially with a critical matter.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Others count on you adding an eccentric or exciting element to their day. You won’t disappoint them. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could feel as if you are about to get very angry. Resist the urge. Tonight: Make nice.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) The unexpected will occur. How you handle this moment could prevent a fight.

Tonight: Act as though it is the weekend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Pressure builds, and you might not be sure what to do next. You will need to take a direct approach. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to move in a different direction, but you might not have any choice but to stay where you are. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Dear Annie: I don’t see happy letters very often in your column.

There are some of us out here who are OK. I am 62. I have a used car and not much money, work is sporadic, and I’m the happiest person ever. I have the best girlfriend in the whole world. We have been together for two years and plan on many more. Life is good. — D. Dear D.: You’ve made our day. Advice columns are intended to help people who have problems and need guidance, but it’s wonderful to hear from someone who is happy and satisfied. We hope you will give this letter to your girlfriend. We think it will make her day, too.

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

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to get past a limitation emerges. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can beam in more of what you want. Understand what is happening behind the scenes of a situation. Tonight: All smiles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know when to pull back and do something differently. Others might be unusually irritating to you at this moment. Tonight: Not to be found.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might wonder what would be best to do with someone who can’t see any other perspective. Tonight: Find your friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to stay ahead of a difficult, argumentative situation. Make strong choices.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might reach out to someone at a distance, only to discover that this person is in a determined mood. Tonight: Go for the moment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone who is instrumental to your well-being could be in a bad mood. Tonight: Let off some steam.
