Contractor charged in work scheme Testimony: Lawrence man, five others allegedly used undocumented workers

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Kansas City, Kan. — A Lawrence contractor and five others have been charged in a scheme to pay undocumented workers in an investigation that stems

back to 2012, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom announced Thursday.

A grand jury indicted Keith L. Countess and the five men this week on charges of money laundering, bank fraud and harboring undocumented workers.

Countess and the men took part in a scheme to convert $13 million in payroll checks into cash to pay crews of undocumented workers who install drywall in the Kansas City metro area, Grissom said during a press conference at the Robert J. Dole Federal Courthouse.

The case is unusual, Grissom said, because authorities have decided to target owners of businesses and others involved in hiring

This is all new to me.

McLinn compares herself to Dahmer

One multiple personality killed Sasko ‘as act of love’ for another, defense-hired psychologist contends

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

One of Sarah Gonzales McLinn’s multiple personalities killed Harold “Hal” Sasko, of Lawrence, “as an act of love” toward another of her personalities, psychologist Marilyn Hutchinson said in the third day of testimony in McLinn’s firstdegree murder trial.

McLinn, 20, is charged with intentional, premeditated murder in the Jan. 14, 2014, death of Sasko, 52, of Lawrence. McLinn lived with Sasko at the time of McLinn his death and had previously worked for him at Sasko’s CiCi’s Pizza restaurant. On Wednesday, jurors watched McLinn’s videotaped post-arrest interview, where she detailed drugging Sasko with five sleeping pills, zip-tying his wrists and ankles, feeling for his artery and plunging the knife into his neck.

Payroll deduction bill advances, KCC orders reduction in saltwater injections shocks charities Linked to fracking, injections may be causing increased seismic activity

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Corporation Commission issued an order Thursday aimed at reducing the risk of earthquakes in portions of south-central Kansas.

The order directs drilling companies to reduce the amount of saltwater waste they dispose into injection wells in portions of Harper and Sumner counties. Saltwater disposed of in injection wells is a byproduct of a controversial drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.”

The Kansas Geological Survey has said that some of those injection wells appear to be located near a fault

Topeka — United Way officials in Lawrence and throughout Kansas said they were stunned Thursday by news that a Senate committee had advanced a bill that would prohibit the state and local school districts from deducting charitable contributions from employee paychecks.

The order applies to five areas within a region known as the Arbuckle formation that stretches across much of central Kansas and Oklahoma.

Comments sought on SLT plan The Kansas Department of Transportation is seeking comments from the public on a concept plan to expand the existing South Lawrence Trafficway to four lanes west of Iowa Street.

The portion of the SLT east of Iowa Street under construction will be four lanes when it opens in 2016.

KDOT doesn’t have money to build the four lanes west of Iowa, but it has identified the expansion as a need, and it

hopes to have a plan in place to take advantage of any funding that becomes available in future years.

With that in mind, KDOT will host an open house from 5-7 p.m. March 31 at Southwest Middle School, 2511 Inverness Drive. Those who attend the open house will be able to see displays about the concept plan and ask questions of KDOT officials.

Charities

Faust-Goudeau of Wichita asked that their “no” votes be recorded. The amended bill now goes to the full Senate.

The panel then put the contents of both bills into a House bill, a procedure that means if the bill passes the Senate, the House can simply vote yes or no to concur or not, thus limiting debate and the possibility of other amendments.

“I look at shenanigans that we’re doing about basically limiting what people can add for deductions, and now we’re taking away their right to make voluntary contributions to United Way, your unions, whatever it is, what are we coming to here,” Holland said. “I view this Legislature as basically trying to suppress people’s freedom of assembly.”

“If the option to make charitable contributions through payroll deduction is removed, these longtime United Way donors may still choose to support this communitywide effort through other means of giving, but losing the convenience of payroll deduction could seriously affect the campaign totals,” Gregoire said.

She said about half of the people who contribute to the local United Way do so through payroll deductions, and public sector employees account for about 22 percent of the agenccy’s $1.65 million in annual contributions.

Miriam Krehbiel, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater Topeka, said she was shocked to hear what the committee had done.

“Oh my goodness, it would be huge,” Krehbiel said.

She said the Topeka United Way receives about $130,000 a year through payroll deductions from state and local government employees.

That’s out of an annual contribution base of $3.5 to $3.7 million, she said.

“That is a very, very significant amount,” she said. “This really takes away the opportunity for employees to make a difference to their community in a tangible and convenient way.”

subjects such as grievance procedures, dress codes and promotion policies.

The other bill would prohibit the state, school districts and other local governments from using their payroll systems to collect union dues from employee paychecks.

On the payroll deduction bill, union officials had argued that it would be unfair to single them out while still allowing other types of payroll deductions for outside entities such as credit unions, mortgage companies, car loan companies and even charities like the United Way. So Sen. Molly Baumgardner, R-Louisburg, offered an amendment Thursday that effectively restricts payroll deductions just to taxes, employer-provided benefits and any type of legally mandatory withholding such as child support and wage garnishments.

That means charitable contributions and any type of commercial transaction like home or car payments would no longer be allowed to be made through payroll deductions.

An official from the Revisor of Statutes office later explained that Baumgardner’s amendment only applies to state agencies and school districts. Cities, counties and other local governments would still be allowed to withhold charitable contributions and other kinds of transactions, but not union dues.

“What this accomplishes is fairness, cost savings, and it protects the employee from really inadvertently but directly giving too much information to the employer about how they spend their money,” Baumgardner said. “Right now, if I get my paycheck, with my phone or with my iPad I can make any payments I want to from the bank.”

pipeline with subcontractors at one end who want cheap labor and undocumented workers at the other end who are poor and need work to feed their families.

“We thought there has to be a better, more humane, and from the taxpayers’ standpoint, a more effective way to address this problem,” Grissom said. “We have targeted what we believe is one of the major focuses that is driving our illegal immigration problem, which is employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers.”

In addition, Grissom said, companies that hire undocumented workers “have an unfair competitive advantage against those folks who do play by the rules.”

Grissom said he considered the undocumented workers to be victims.

He did not charge them with crimes.

Grissom filed 31 charges against the men as well as a criminal forfeiture case.

Those charged in the indictment are:

McLinn CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Hutchinson, hired by the defense to counsel McLinn a total of 17 hours from February 2014 to July 2014, said she diagnosed McLinn with dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personalities.

Hutchinson said she refers to McLinn as “the system of Sarah.” Within that “system” are “Vanessa,” “Alyssa,” “Mila” and “No-name,” Hutchinson explained.

Hutchinson said she could summon each of McLinn’s personalities or “subidentities” through a countdown procedure that she demonstrated for the court.

First, she asked if “Alyssa” would be willing to come out and talk, counted from one to 10, then asked if “Alyssa” was there. Jurors looked at McLinn during the countdown, but McLinn remained unmoved.

Hutchinson said she based the diagnosis on her time with McLinn, a series of psychological tests, an interview with McLinn’s sister, mother and father and McLinn’s medical records.

Branson questioned whether McLinn was malingering, or falsifying symptoms of a mental disorder for secondary gain.

McLinn has been reading psychology books in her jail cell since she has been incarcerated, Branson said, and one of McLinn’s psychological tests was inconclusive due to “over-reporting” symptoms. A second test said results should be read with caution because her answers “magnified illness,” showing an “inclination to complain” and “extreme vulnerability.”

Hutchinson said McLinn was reading the psychology books to “figure herself out” and that it was her job to interpret the tests’ results.

Hutchinson testified that the person known as “Sarah” died at the age of 16 after a brutal rape in which a man threw her into a glass table and burned her arm with a cigarette. She said McLinn suffered neglect as a child, with an absent father and a mother with whom she never bonded.

Other instances of abuse mentally scarred McLinn from a young age, Hutchinson said, causing her to mistrust adults and seek a father figure. Hutchinson said that McLinn told her that when she was young, a neighbor would shoot and mutilate squirrels and rabbits, hold them to her face, then tell her that he would do the same to her if she ever told about his molestation of her.

As Hutchinson told jurors the extent of McLinn’s alleged childhood abuse,

l Keith L. Countess, 55, owner of Lawrencebased Plaster Masters, 619 N. Second St., who has been charged with money laundering, bank fraud and harboring undocumented workers. l Marcos Lane Stubbs, 44, who is alleged to have devised the scheme for subcontractors to use undocumented workers. l Luis Felipe GuerreroGuerrero, 26, Jose Felipe Hernandez-Calvillo, 39, and Mauro Papalotzi, 34, all alleged to have managed crews of workers installing drywall. l Isaac Gallegos, 35, alleged to have allowed the scheme to operate from his Boost Mobile store in Olathe.

All but Gallegos appeared in court for first appearance and arraignment in Kansas City, Kan. Gallegos was scheduled to appear in federal court Thursday in Wichita, said Jim Cross, Grissom’s spokesman.

At least three of the men are Mexican citizens with little education. One man testified through an interpreter that he has a third-grade education.

Countess’ wife and son watched as he answered questions posed by Chief Magistrate Judge O’Hara.

Countess had already

McLinn began sobbing harder than she had at any point during this week’s trial. She plugged her ears with her thumbs to block out the details and kept tissues within arms reach.

It was this lifetime of alleged abuse that led Sarah to move in with Sasko after graduating from high school at 17 years old, Hutchinson said. McLinn told Hutchinson she moved in with Sasko because she “didn’t have money and she wanted a dad.” Hutchinson said Sasko listed McLinn on his insurance policy.

“She thought this was the first adult who was really going to have her back and really going to be there for her.”

But when she moved in, Sasko began giving the then-17-year-old marijuana and alcohol and paid for her nose job, Hutchinson said. Sasko then began pressuring McLinn to have sex with him, Hutchinson said, “insinuating that unless she did that, she would have to move out.”

Hutchinson said McLinn eventually “got really drunk” and had sex with Sasko, which turned into an occurrence that would happen “once or twice a week.”After a few months, Hutchinson said McLinn told her, Sasko began pressuring her to have more plastic surgery.

“He had regular discourse with her that no man would find her attractive because her breasts were not big enough and her butt was not big enough,” Hutchinson said.

“She convinced him she was too young to have breast implants because she was under 25.”

Hutchinson said this began to degrade McLinn’s self-esteem, but she agreed to have a buttocks enhancement in April 2013. After recovering from the surgery, McLinn fell into a deep depression, Hutchinson said. McLinn began taking Zoloft, which mellowed her sadness but turned it into rage, Hutchinson explained.

A few days before Sasko’s death, Hutchinson said, McLinn decided to kill Sasko. Once she’d made the decision, Hutchinson said McLinn “stopped seeing red and had an incredible sense of calm.”

Hutchinson said that the kinder “Vanessa” had been controlling McLinn until that point. But when it came to the murder, “Alyssa” took over.

Hutchinson said she asked “Alyssa” why she killed Sasko, and “Alyssa” said it was because “Vanessa” was going to kill herself.

“Alyssa didn’t want that to happen. She perceived the greatest act of love she could do would be to protect the rest of the ‘system.’”

“Alyssa” used a hunting knife instead of a gun to

L awrence J ournal -W orld received an appointed attorney, but O’Hara asked if he couldn’t afford to pay his own. His lawyer responded saying several of Countess’ bank accounts had been frozen.

O’Hara countered, asking whether Countess owned his home free and clear. Countess said yes.

O’Hara noted the home was valued at $300,000, so he asked Countess to consider taking out a loan.

Countess and the other men all pleaded not guilty and were released on their own recognizance.

After being released, Countess was waiting outside the courthouse for his wife and son, he told the Lawrence Journal-World.

“This is all new to me,” Countess said when asked for a comment.

“I’ve pleaded not guilty.”

He and his lawyer said he would have no further comment.

During the press conference, Grissom said a seventh man, Jose R. Torres-Garcia, was at the center of the scheme.

Torres-Garcia has already pleaded guilty in a related case to one count of harboring undocumented workers and one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. kill Sasko, Hutchinson said, because “a gun would be weak and she needed to be strong.”

Hutchinson said McLinn was pushed to the edge by years of continuing abuse, causing her multiple personalities to develop.

Hutchinson said McLinn compared herself to notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer because she said she “felt his understanding of betrayal was like (hers).”

“She had such hopes for Sasko and the disappointment was so intense.”

Hutchinson said those who are abused think the world has three kinds of people: victims, abusers and rescuers.

“Alyssa took on the role of rescuer, but in doing that she became the persecutor of great violence.”

When Branson asked whether “Alyssa” had planned and had the foresight and intent to kill Sasko, Hutchinson said that she had “never doubted that.” Hutchinson also said that she thought McLinn as a whole could not form intent “because she didn’t have all of the parts of her that would go into making a rational decision.”

McLinn’s attorney Carl Cornwell is arguing the “not guilty by mental disease or defect” defense and said that jurors should find McLinn not guilty because she was not in control of herself when she killed Sasko.

Both the state and defense rested their cases Thursday. Branson will call one rebuttal witness this morning, then the attorneys will make closing arguments and the case will be submitted to the jury.

McLinn remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $1 million bond.

Climate may dampen wheat harvests The Wichita Eagle

Wichita — It’s hard to put into words how central wheat farming is to Kansas.

It has shaped our selfimage. It’s what we’re known for around the globe.

Kansas is usually tops in the nation in wheat production. For those who like a picture: In 2012 Kansas farmers produced enough wheat to bury the entire town of Wellington, county seat in the state’s top wheat-producing county, to a depth of 5 feet — or enough to make 20 billion to 25 billion

loaves of bread.

But not last year. Last year was a pretty bad harvest. Too little rain, too much heat.

The year before wasn’t that great, either. In fact, Kansas has had an offand-on drought since 2011, The Wichita Eagle reports.

A team of climate scientists say in a recently published study that we may see that more often.

They say that for every 1 degree increase in average world temperatures, the globe — including our little rectangle of it will lose 6 percent of its wheat production.

The globe will see tem-

peratures rise 1 to 3 degrees Celsius by the year 2100, according to an optimistic scenario cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in its 2013 assessment of the impact of climate change on U.S. agriculture. In a less optimistic scenario the temperature would increase 2 to 5.4 degrees by 2100.

And while the whole subject of climate change is controversial in some places, many farmers acknowledge that they — or their children — expect to have to deal with something, even if they prefer the less politically charged term “extreme weather.”

Farmers are pretty pragmatic, said Tom Giessel, a fourth-generation crop farmer with about 4,500 acres near Larned. Like most people, they tend to deal with the things that will affect them in the near future.

“What convinces most people is money,” he said.

“If it starts to hit them in the pocketbook, if they see a financial loss because of this, they’ll do something.

“The problem is that too many people make a lot of decisions shortterm. The smart people also think long-term.”

The $1.74 million, three-year project will initially target the Russian wheat aphid and wheat stripe rust, also commonly referred to as “yellow rust.” The university’s research partners are Australia’s Queensland University of Technology, the Victorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries and the Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Once the fun was over, the stuffed animals were invited to stay overnight at the library for a sleepover in which the library staff will take photographs and post them to their Facebook page to show the children what their stuffed animals did while spending the night in the library.

Harvests CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In the study, published in the journal Nature Climate Science, lead author Senthold Asseng, of the University of Florida, and his co-authors — including Kansas State University professor Vara Prasad — studied the impact of just one factor, temperature, on wheat production.

In the paper, the authors concluded that a 1 percent increase in the world average temperature would result in the loss of 40 million tons of wheat, a 6 percent drop in world production.

That is the equivalent of a quarter of the amount of wheat traded around the world — and more than the amount produced by all of the Plains states.

The study does not examine how climate change would affect other critical factors: rainfall, soil quality, weeds and insects.

Kansas wheat farmers tend to grow red winter wheat. They plant it in September and October. It grows a few inches in the fall before it goes dormant in the cold. The wheat becomes active again in March, grows steadily and is harvested in June.

Of course, it’s more complicated than that, but the payoff for the wheat farmer is in the final stage.

That is when the plant fills out the 40 or so kernels and turns gold.

Freedom CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“In the absence of any real-life examples that we’re trying to address, I just think we’re opening up a can of worms for something else,” Holland said.

But Sen. Mary Pilcher-

LAWRENCE • STATE

.

What concerns Prasad, director of K-State’s Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab, is the increased possibility of higher temperatures during this final stage.

If the temperature gets over 86 degrees, the wheat starts to struggle in filling out the kernels. When it gets over 95 degrees, it stops.

Kansas never has been ideal for growing wheat, Prasad said. It can sometimes get too hot or too dry, or both, in late May or early June during the kernel-filling stage.

That’s what happened last spring.

“I’m not worried about the average, but the extremes,” he said.

Prasad said he isn’t alarmist. He isn’t calling for any great campaign to save the world.

“There is no dilemma and no argument that extreme weather is happening more frequently,” he said.

“The long-term aspects of climate change are more complicated, and the cause of it? For me it doesn’t matter who causes it, it’s happening.”

The challenges are large, but American agriculture has the technology to develop more varieties that are more tolerant to heat, drought, insects and mold.

He recommends more money for genetic research to study the vast numbers of wheat varieties to see whether they contain drought or insect resistance.

And American farmers have the money and edu-

cation to take advantage of new varieties and techniques, he said.

So, in the end, there’s no disaster for Kansas farmers.

“It’s not that bad,” he said. “We just have to prepare for it.”

The USDA agrees — in the short run.

In the USDA assessment, the authors write that U.S. agriculture and farmers will be resilient in the short run.

They can switch crop varieties, switch crops, expand irrigation and change timing on inputs. But there are limits.

“By mid-century, when temperature increases are expected to exceed 1 C to 3 C and precipitation extremes intensify, yields of major U.S. crops and farm returns are projected to decline,” the authors write.

But the interactions will certainly be complex, with many trade-offs. For instance, the study notes, increased carbon dioxide will speed plant growth and likely reduce water consumption, but it may reduce grain quality and increase weed growth.

The official position of the American Farm Bureau, the country’s largest farm organization, is that while there may be an increase in extreme weather, it’s unclear whether humans produced the greenhouse gases that caused the extreme weather.

But one thing the Farm Bureau makes clear: It doesn’t want the U.S. government unilaterally to regulate greenhouse gases

— such as by regulating emissions from power plants — because it thinks regulations will raise the costs to produce food, feed, fuel and fiber, without fixing the problem globally.

The Kansas Wheat Growers Association, the state’s main wheat farmers group, funds about $2 million worth of research a year, including by Prasad in the past. It wanted to make clear that it didn’t fund this most recent study.

It has no formal position on climate change, said spokeswoman Marsha Boswell, but she did refer questions to board member Justin Knopf, a fifth-generation crop farmer near Salina.

Knopf said he was asked to represent the group on environmental issues because he’s seen as sort of an environmentally aware farmer. He practices no-till farming, where seeds are planted without cutting furrows in the soil and the plant cover is left in place.

Still, Knopf said, there is a recognition by many farmers that more extreme weather may be coming to Kansas: more spring freezes, more late spring heat waves, more droughts — in short, more seasons like the punishing spring of 2014.

“I think it’s too bad that the issue has become so politicized, so divisive,” he said. “Because I think a conversation about the topic is needed to find the truth.

The fact that we’re really not able to have that conversation is too bad.”

Cook, R-Shawnee, said there have been enough examples of student religious groups being denied recognition to warrant passing such a law in Kansas.

“It’s too bad that we have to work so hard to retain this liberty in our great state of Kansas,” she said.

The American Civil Liberties Union said simi-

lar bills have been introduced in nearly half the states this year.

Eunice Roh, the ACLU’s advocacy and policy counsel, said in an interview this week that the question is not whether students should be allowed to form religious associations with exclusive membership rules.

“Student groups on

campus can compose and select their membership however they choose, but it is our position that public taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund student groups that discriminate,” Roh said.

The bill passed on a party-line vote of 30-6, with two Republicans and two Democrats absent. It now goes to the Kansas House for consideration.

Kansas budget clears committee Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee has approved a proposed $15.5 billion state budget that would not balance without tax increases.

The Ways and Means Committee’s 9-2 vote Thursday was part of a crowded legislative agenda. The Senate Commerce Committee also approved a bill limiting collective bargaining between state agencies and public employee unions.

The budget plan and the bargaining bill go next to the Senate.

Lawmakers must close a projected budget shortfall of nearly $600 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1 that arose after they cut personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s urging to stimulate the economy.

The proposed budget trims overall spending slightly for the fiscal year beginning July 1 but still would require tax increases of more than $200 million.

Senate passes four ‘sunshine’ bills Topeka — The Kansas Senate has passed four bills aimed at increasing government transparency but rejected a proposal to open officials’ private emails about government business to public scrutiny.

Senators passed all four bills unanimously Thursday.

One would limit government fees for producing records, and another would increase lobbyist disclosures about their funding.

A third requires the Legislature to provide live Internet audio of some committee meetings, starting in 2016.

A fourth preserves existing open records exceptions.

The chamber rejected

an amendment from Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka to require state agencies to disclose officials’ emails about government business on private accounts or networks.

Midwest economic outlook is poor Omaha, Neb. — A monthly survey of bankers suggests a weakening economy lies ahead for rural parts of 10 Midwestern and Western states.

The Creighton University Rural Mainstreet Index for March sank to 43.6, its lowest level since February 2010. Last month’s figure was 46.4.

Creighton University economics Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says “the stronger U.S. dollar is undermining the farm and energy sectors by weakening agricultural exports, crop prices, livestock prices and energy prices.”

The index ranges from 0 to 100. Any score above 50 suggests growth while a score below 50 suggests decline. Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming were surveyed.

Feedback sought from pedestrians Officials with the Lawrence-Douglas County planning office are urging pedestrians to take an online survey as leaders work to develop a Regional Pedestrian Plan.

The survey, available atlawrenceks.org/mpo/PedPlan/survey, takes about 10 minutes. It poses a variety of questions about what types of sidewalk improvements, crosswalk improvements and other such issues are important.

The deadline is April 25.

Drones have similar agricultural systems and concerns about insect pests and emerging diseases.

Images of crops will be gathered by drones so that crop infestations can be detected early, and samples of crops will be collected as well. Kansas has about 9 million acres of wheat that the project hopes to cover.

According to Brian McCornack, an associate professor of entomology at Kansas State University in Manhattan and principal investigator, “The insects that they are trying to keep out are the ones that we’ve had here for quite a while and been managing.”

The Salina Journal reports that Travis Balthazor, who will be the lead drone pilot, says that unmanned aircraft have been used for mapping, but have not been used to look for specific species.

“Being able to look at the larger picture and keep zoning in to identify exactly where that species is, that is pretty cool,” Balthazor said. “Then after you find it, to be able to fly out there and get an actual sample is something we have never actually done before. That is the goal.”

Currently, farmers and ranchers look for crop infestation by hand.

Hometown pride In addition to raising thousands of dollars for charity, the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day committee also knows how to run a good, old-fashioned parade.

T

here’s no better example of how Lawrence manages to maintain its hometown feel than the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The parade down Massachusetts Street once again drew thousands of spectators on Tuesday. There also was no shortage of parade participants, most of them local. The six-horse team representing Oklahoma-based Express Clydesdales was a highlight for many viewers, but most of the green-clad floats, trucks, bicycles, horses and musicians came from Lawrence or the surrounding area. It is an event for all ages. One decorated flatbed trailer carried balloon-waving preschoolers and another carried the considerably older members of the Junkyard Jazz band.

There was a group of strolling bagpipers, along with a young team of martial arts student showing off their moves.

The parade featured a few larger floats, including the perennial favorite from the Sandbar, but the bulk of the parade was made up of children’s groups, small groups of horses and bicycles and vehicles representing local businesses. A lot of candy was being thrown and there were plenty of smiles both on the street and in the crowd lined up along the curb.

It’s not the biggest or most professional parade you’ll ever see, but it’s pure Lawrence. Thanks to the organizers of the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade for bringing the community together in such a positive way.

Community gift The Douglas County Community Foundation is an ongoing gift to Lawrence and Douglas County.

T

he announcement this week of $213,000 in grants is another reminder of the important local role played by the Douglas County Community Foundation.

The foundation was established in 2000 with a major gift from long-time resident Tensie Oldfather and has benefitted in subsequent years by many generous local supporters who have contributed money earmarked for specific purposes or to be allocated at the discretion of the foundation’s board. This week’s grants represent only a small portion of the foundation’s activities. Last year, the foundation awarded 515 grants totalling $2.8 million.

The projects that received funds this week contribute to the community’s health in many ways. They will help provide transportation for youngsters who will benefit from therapy services. They will support early learning opportunities for young children and help ensure local students have the computer access they need to be successful in school. A walking garden for frail elderly residents received funds, as did a suicide prevention program. The 37 nonprofit agencies that received grant funds touch virtually every resident of Douglas County.

Anyone who would like to give back to this community should explore the possibilities the community foundation has to offer. The foundation is an amazing tool that combines sound financial management with a detailed process to make sure funds are distributed according to the donors’ wishes to the most worthy projects.

It’s a gift that keeps on giving to Lawrence and Douglas County.

With or without Bibi, peace unlikely Washington — Of all the idiocies uttered in reaction to Benjamin Netanyahu’s stunning election victory, none is more ubiquitous than the idea that peace prospects are now dead because Netanyahu has declared that there will be no Palestinian state while he is Israel’s prime minister.

I have news for the lowing herds: There would be no peace and no Palestinian state if Isaac Herzog were prime minister either.

Or Ehud Barak or Ehud Olmert for that matter. The latter two were (non-Likud) prime ministers who offered the Palestinians their own

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Today, however, there is a second reason a peace agreement is impossible: the supreme instability of the entire Middle East.” state — with its capital in Jerusalem and every Israeli settlement in the new Palestine uprooted — only to be rudely rejected.

This is not ancient history. This is 2000, 2001 and 2008 — three astonishingly concessionary peace offers within the last 15 years. Every one rejected.

The fundamental reality remains: This generation of Palestinian leadership — from Yasser Arafat to Mahmoud Abbas — has never and will never sign its name to a final peace settlement dividing the land with a Jewish state. And without that, no Israeli government of any kind will agree to a Palestinian state.

Today, however, there is a second reason a peace agreement is impossible: the supreme instability of the entire Middle East. For half a century, it was run by dictators no one liked but with

whom you could do business. For example, the 1974 Israel-Syria disengagement agreement yielded more than four decades of neartotal quiet on the border because the Assad dictatorships so decreed.

That authoritarian order is gone. Syria is wracked by a multi-sided civil war that has killed 200,000 people and that has al-Qaida allies, Hezbollah fighters, government troops and even the occasional Iranian general prowling the Israeli border. Who inherits? No one knows.

In the last four years, Egypt has had two revolutions and three radically different regimes. Yemen went from pro-American to Iranian client so quickly the U.S. had to evacuate its embassy in a panic. Libya has gone from Moammar Gadhafi’s crazy authoritarianism to jihadi-dominated civil war.

On Wednesday, Tunisia, the one relative success of the Arab Spring, suffered a major terror attack that the prime minister said “targets the stability of the country.”

From Mali to Iraq, everything is in flux. Amid this mayhem, by what magic would the West Bank, riven by a bitter Fatah-Hamas rivalry, be an island of stability? What would give any Israeli-Palestinian peace

agreement even a modicum of durability?

There was a time when Arafat commanded the Palestinian movement the way Gadhafi commanded Libya.

Abbas commands no one.

Why do you think he is in the 11th year of a four-year term, having refused to hold elections for the last five years? Because he’s afraid he would lose to Hamas.

With or without elections, the West Bank could fall to Hamas overnight. At which point fire rains down on Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport and the entire Israeli urban heartland — just as it rains down on southern Israel from Gaza when it suits Hamas.

Any Arab-Israeli peace settlement would require Israel to make dangerous and inherently irreversible territorial concessions on the West Bank in return for promises and guarantees.

Under current conditions, these would be written on sand.

Israel is ringed by jihadi terrorists in Sinai, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic State and Iranian proxies in Syria, and a friendly but highly fragile Jordan. Israelis have no idea who ends up running any of these places.

Well, say the critics. Israel could be given outside guarantees. Guarantees? Like

PUBLIC FORUM

Smoking age To the editor: The city of Columbia, Mo., recently adopted an ordinance that bans smoking e-cigarettes in public places and raises the minimum legal age to purchase cigarettes to 21. It makes sense to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21 as smoking is still the leading cause of premature deaths in the United States. The fact is many smokers become addicted when they’re teenagers or younger.

The Institute of Medicine recently released a report that concluded that if the minimum legal age were raised now to 21 nationwide, there would be approximately 223,000 fewer premature deaths, 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer and 4.2 million fewer years of life lost for those born between 2000 and 2019. That is why the city of Lawrence should ban smoking e-cigarettes in public places and raise the minimum legal age to buy tobacco to 21.

Clark H. Coan, Lawrence

Design requirements To the editor: Overland Park has a form-based code for in-fill additions in its downtown that is currently used to moderate radical changes in the height or massing of new projects. These kinds of code requirements should be implemented here to preserve the original mercantile character of downtown Lawrence. These code requirements are to avoid spot zoning changes at particular locations where corner lots in effect act as signposts in changing the whole shape of a neighborhood.

Individual anarchism has had two faces.

For the wealthy or local political elite, it represents the superiority of profit over law and state. Not just because law and the state can be bought, but because even when they cannot, they have no moral legitimacy compared to their own selfishness and profit. For those who have neither wealth nor power, it repre-

the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in which the U.S., Britain and Russia guaranteed Ukraine’s “territorial integrity”? Like the red line in Syria? Like the unanimous U.N. resolutions declaring illegal any Iranian enrichment of uranium — now effectively rendered null?

Peace awaits three things.

Eventual Palestinian acceptance of a Jewish state. A Palestinian leader willing to sign a deal based on that premise. A modicum of regional stability that allows Israel to risk the potentially fatal withdrawals such a deal would entail.

I believe such a day will come. But there is zero chance it comes now or even soon. That’s essentially what Netanyahu said in explaining — and softening — on Thursday his noPalestinian-state statement.

In the interim, I understand the crushing disappointment of the Obama administration and its media poodles at the spectacular success of the foreign leader they loathe more than any other on the planet. The consequent seething and sputtering are understandable, if unseemly. Blaming Netanyahu for banishing peace, however, is mindless.

Sven Erik Alstrom, Lawrence

Federal dysfunction To the editor: Is our federal government on the verge of being completely ineffectual? We have a president who wants to govern by fiat (executive order) largely because Congress will not cooperate with him. We have a Congress that wants to insert itself into international negotiations, which it has no business doing because its job is to only to advise and consent. We have a Supreme Court that seems hell-bent on declaring every law it can unconstitutional. How can government create orderly and enduring change if the Supreme Court sees its duty as nullifying laws it disagrees with ideologically? It’s also interesting, isn’t it, that an activist liberal court was so objectionable, but an activist conservative court seems just fine and dandy?

To be effective, every organization needs clear boundaries between its functional units.

This is no less true for our federal government. As the boundaries between the executive, legislative and judicial branches dissolve, the ability to govern effectively will be diminished. When our federal government becomes so dysfunctional it can’t govern, what then?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 20, 1915: “In years the trial of Gordon ago Strode, charged IN 1915 with participating in a ‘crap game’ in William Johnson’s house Saturday night, considerable interest was aroused in the trial. The city presented its case by having one of the participants of the game testify that Strode bet money on the throw of another man. He testified that Strode was in the room at least part of the time while the game was on.... Officer Ed McKissack was put on the stand and he testified that Strode was outside of the house when he arrived on the scene.... Strode posed as his own attorney and had three witnesses there to testify that he was not in the house.... He went on the stand for himself and told his story of where he was during the evening. The testimony conflicted on several points, and when both sides of the case rested Judge Albach gave his decision that on account of so much conflicting testimony he could not find Strode guilty. Officer Vaughn, one of the arresting officers, asked that he might have a word and he was granted a hearing by the judge. ‘I do not think this is hardly fair to the officers, Judge,’ he said. ‘How are we to know when to arrest a man if they are permitted to go when we arrest them and bring them in here when they are acting, to our best belief, in violation to the law.’”

JERUSALEM In conciliatory moves, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backtracked Thursday from a preelection vow to oppose an independent Palestinian state and reached out to repair damaged relations with President Obama.

“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful, two-state solution, but for that, circumstances have to change,” Netanyahu said on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports in his first interview since his Likud Party won Tuesday’s election.

Netanyahu also extended an olive branch to Obama, who called later Thursday to congratulate the prime minister on his victory.

The two leaders have feuded openly over Netanyahu’s hardline stance on a Palestinian state, as well as over U.S. negotiations

with Iran on its nuclear program.

Netanyahu pledged to work with the president. “America has no greater ally than Israel, and Israel has no greater ally than the United States,” he said Thursday.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama reiterated his support for a Palestinian state and talks with Iran on an agreement that would prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu announced his opposition to a Palestinian state Monday, saying he would work to prevent one from being established. “I haven’t changed my policy,” Netanyahu said Thursday,

referring to a speech he made in 2009 when he called for a Palestinian state. “What has changed is the reality.”

Netanyahu said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas refuses to recognize a Jewish state and has formed a unity government with the militant Hamas, a group that calls for the destruction of Israel.

“I was talking about what is achievable and what is not achievable,” Netanyahu said.

The Army is investigating allegations by soldiers in an Alaska platoon that the unit leader encouraged soldiers to use racial slurs against each other every Thursday as a way to build morale and camaraderie.

Lt. Col. Alan Brown, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Alaska, confirmed that the Army has begun an inquiry into allegations into the practice, known as “Racial Thursdays.”

Two soldiers in the platoon described the possible racial hazing to the Army Times. They asked

that their names not be used to protect their privacy.

“The command is extremely sensitive to any allegations that involve equal opportunity or discrimination and will investigate

every allegation,” Brown said. He would not provide more details.

One of the soldiers who filed a complaint is an African-American staff sergeant who said his platoon leader encouraged “Racial Thursdays.”

The platoon is with the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team at Fort Wainwright in Alaska.

The soldier said he was told members of the unit could make racist slurs without consequences, although none were directed at him. He said he filed a complaint to stop the practice.

The second soldier told the Army Times that hurling racial slurs at members of the unit was not compulsory. He cited one

case in which a Hispanic member of the platoon was called demeaning names based on his ethnicity for an entire day.

The platoon under investigation is part of a company involved in a controversy over ethnic hazing of a Chinese-American member who later committed suicide.

Pvt. Danny Chen committed suicide in 2011, while in Afghani* stan. The Army ruled that Chen killed himself because he was * least hazed over his ancestry. At eight soldiers were either courtmartialed or administratively punished in the case.

Brown said there is “no connection” between the current investigation and the Chen case.

Safety experts slam lax CDC lab practices Alison Young USA TODAY

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recently had lab mishaps involving some of the world’s most dangerous pathogens, does “inadequate” training, lacks leadership commitment toward safety and has a significant percentage of staff who are afraid to report ac-

cidents, according to the agency’s own safety advisers.

“We are very concerned that the CDC is on the way to losing credibility,” wrote the group of external biosafety experts, appointed by the agency as advisers in the wake of high-profile accidents with anthrax and bird flu last year. “The CDC must not see itself as ‘special’. The internal controls and rules that the rest of the world works under also apply to CDC.” The CDC quietly posted the experts’ report on its website this week.

Democrats: Pay attention to Chicago Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

CHICAGO It ain’t over, but Rahm Emanuel is in a strong position as he seeks re-election in what is turning into the hottest off-year campaign of 2015.

Three weeks after primary voters offered a surprising rebuke by forcing him into an April 7 runoff against Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, Emanuel is pulling away in the polls as he uses a huge cash advantage to bury Garcia in negative advertising.

In the ads, Emanuel’s team has effectively raised doubts about whether Garcia is up to navigating the city out of a financial crisis of epic proportions — the city needs to come up with $550 million for police and fire department pensions next year, and has a projected $20 billion in unfunded pension obligations.

Left unsaid by Emanuel as he questions Garcia’s financial acumen is that Moody Investors Service recently dropped Chicago’s bond rating to two notches above junk, the fifth time the rating has declined during Emanuel’s tenure.

Garcia, a Cook County commissioner who was able to win 34% of the five-candidate primary despite low name recognition and a twelfth of Emanuel’s campaign war chest, didn’t help himself with vague answers about how he would deal with the city’s financial crisis during the first one-onone debate of the runoff earlier this week.

Despite Emanuel’s trajectory,

this race remains one that Democrats should be paying careful attention to as the party looks toward 2016.

Former presidential candidate Howard Dean, who endorsed Garcia last week and has feuded with Emanuel in the past, calls the race “a David vs.

Goliath battle for the future of the Democratic Party.”

“Chuy García will put the people first, not the 1%,” Dean wrote in an e-mail to members of the liberal organization Democracy for America.

One of the main knocks by the left against Emanuel is that he represents the corporatization of the Democratic Party.

Liberals are enraged by how a few wealthy conservative donors — such as Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers — have managed to have an outsize voice in the national political conversation by pouring millions of dollars into the coffers of campaigns they support. But there is a nary a peep from the Democratic establishment when similar tactics are employed by their own.

Here in Chicago, Emanuel’s campaign and a political action committee aligned with him and city council allies have raised a combined $30 million. Overall, about 100 donors have donated to Emanuel’s campaign war chest.

One mega-donor, the billionaire Ken Griffin, has given about $1 million to pro-Emanuel campaign committees over the last year, including $750,000 since March 2.

Griffin, the founder of a successful hedge fund, in the past has tended to give to GOP candidates. He doled out $8 million to the successful 2014 campaign of Illinois GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner.

“Every time Chicago voters see another one of Rahm’s TV ads, they should remember who is paying for them,” said Kristen Crowell, executive director of United Working Families, a group that’s backed Garcia. “It’s Republican billionaires who have a different vision of Chicago’s future than the rest of us.

And that’s who Rahm is really working for.”

At the heart of Garcia’s campaign is the message that Emanuel has ignored Chicago’s mosaic of neighborhoods and thrown resources into bolstering the city’s glittering downtown.

Emanuel also been hit for running roughshod over parents in predominantly minority neighborhoods, where he closed 50 city schools with low enrollment. At the same time, the first-term mayor has backed the expansion of charter schools.

In his first television ad of the runoff campaign, which was released Wednesday, Garcia attacks Emanuel for being less concerned about parents and driven by his allies’ financial interests when it comes to education policy. Charter school advocates have donated more than $700,000 to Emanuel’s campaign, according to Garcia.

Come April 7, my hunch is more Chicagoans will be voting based on their concerns about the city’s mounting financial crisis. If that’s the case, Emanuel should win easily.

But regardless of Emanuel’s fate, this contest should be a starting point in the conversation for Democrats nationally about what kind of image they want to reflect heading into 2016.

The international airport in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden was forced to close Thursday, as forces loyal to Yemen’s former president waged gunbattles with security forces loyal to the current president.

A unit of police commandos loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was ousted following a popular uprising in 2011, entered part of the airport grounds but were resisted by security forces and militias supporting President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

Reuters and the Associated Press reported that the Hadi loyalists secured control of the airport after more than four hours of battle.

NATION/WORLD Attack of the killer drones Obama opts for drone devastation against terrorists Jim Michaels USA TODAY

Islamic State claims its ‘knights’ shot up Tunis Citizens rally in outrage after 21 killed in museum

John Bacon and William M. Welch USA TODAY

Angry Tunisians rallied in solidarity Thursday outside the museum where two gunmen had killed 21 people after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bloody attack.

Most of the dead were foreign tourists, 17 of them from cruise ships. Five major ship companies said Thursday they were canceling future arrivals scheduled for Tunisia.

Twelve of the dead were passengers on the MSC Splendida and five from the Costa Fascinosa. They were visiting the National Bardo Museum in Tunis, birthplace of the Arab Spring democracy movement, when two gunmen stormed it Wednesday.

The gunmen were then killed by police.

Thursday, police announced the arrest of nine people. Five were described as being directly tied to the two gunmen. The other four were accused of having ties to the terrorist cell involved.

Culture Minister Latifa Lakhdar spoke defiantly at the museum, where Roman-era mosaics are on display and where about 500 people held a moment of silence before singing Tunisia’s national anthem.

Marchers carried signs saying, “No to terrorism,” and “Tunisia is bloodied but still standing.”

A drone strike that killed an alleged planner of a 2013 Kenyan mall massacre is the latest victory for a U.S. campaign that has taken out more than 500 suspected terrorist leaders since shortly after the 9/11 attacks.

Most have been drone strikes, the Obama administration’s weapon of choice. It has authorized at least 450 attacks by unmanned aircraft. Wednesday, the Pentagon announced that Adan Garar, a member of al-Shabaab’s intelligence and security wing, was killed in Somalia March 12.

“None of this would have been imaginable 14 years ago,” said Micah Zenko, an analyst at the Council on Foreign Relations.

“Now these are not a big deal.”

The unmanned aircraft provide the administration an accurate way of striking enemies while minimizing risks for U.S. personnel. Drones are controlled from American bases thousands of miles from Pakistan or Yemen.

“Everyone except Israel and the United States hates them. In some areas ... drones have become the face of U.S. policy.”

“They are targeting knowledge.

They are targeting science. They are targeting reason. They are targeting history. They are targeting memory, because all these things mean nothing in their eyes,” Lakhdar said of the attackers.

The Islamic State released an online recording claiming responsibility, praising the “knights of the Islamic State” for the attack and calling the museum a “den of infidels and vice.”

The slain gunmen were identified as Yassine Laabidi and Hatem Khachnaoui, both Tunisians.

Prime Minister Habib Essid said

Laabidi had been flagged by intelligence authorities, though not for “anything special.”

More than 3,000 Tunisians have joined Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, the Tunisian government estimates.

Japanese tourist Noriko Yuki, 35, said she was on the second floor of the museum when a gunman opened fire. Yuki, in a Tunisian hospital, told Japan’s NHK that she also heard an explosion.

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, visiting Tokyo, said she and the president expressed condolences.

Tunisian security forces stand guard outside the National Bardo Museum.

Outside the USA, the strikes have been controversial. Critics accuse the United States of killing civilians in the strikes. Pakistan’s government, which says it’s an ally in the fight against global terrorism, has often been vocal in lashing out at the use of drone strikes in remote parts of the country.

“Everyone except Israel and the United States hates them (drone strikes),” Zenko said. “In some areas where operations occur, drones have become the face of U.S. policy.”

Often the allegations of civilian casualties come from critics who want to whip up anti-American sentiment, said Andrew Hunter, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Analysts say that as the unmanned aircraft become more precise, civilian leaders will be quicker to reach for that option.

The capability to strike from afar has produced the “illusion of antiseptic warfare,” said James Phillips, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “On the receiving end, it gets very messy.”

Frank fears a missed opportunity for Israel Former 16-term congressman Barney Frank, a leading Jewish politician and longtime advocate for Israel, says he is “very frightened” that the hard-line positions taken by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his successful election campaign will undermine Israel’s relationship not only with the United States but around the world.

“Frankly, it takes a great deal of indifference to world opinion to be in some ways less popular than the fanatical, murderous barbarians of the Islamic State,” Frank told Capital Download. “He should be able to take advantage of the world’s horror at this group, at the unfortunate chaos in the Arab world, at the inability in many countries for them to function, and instead by saying, ‘I’m not going to be for a Palestinian state,’ whatever, he directs more problems to Israel.”

Later Thursday, Netanyahu seemed to soften his campaign WASHINGTON

declaration that no Palestinian state would be established during his tenure, saying on MSNBC he still supported the idea of a twostate solution, but the goal wasn’t “achievable” now.

Frank, known during his tenure in the House for his acerbic wit and legislative skill, was the co-sponsor of the landmark Dodd-Frank Act, passed in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, and the first member of Congress to voluntarily reveal that he was gay. In an interview about his memoir, Frank, published this week by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, he discussed the advice he gives gay men and lesbians considering political careers and the powerful role Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren plays in protecting financial regulation.

At age 74, his step is a bit slower, but his patter in a thick New Jersey accent is as rapid-fire as ever, and his attire is still in his signature state of dishevelment.

When his flip phone rang during the interview, he pulled it from his pocket and only with difficulty managed to silence it. “I’ve been in a lifelong war with inanimate objects,” he grumbled.

The Massachusetts Democrat was at his most emphatic in dis-

“When your friend is doing something that will be damaging, I think it’s your obligation to tell him that.”

Barney Frank

cussing the potential consequences of Netanyahu’s decisive victory in Israel after a campaign that worsened the frayed relations between him and President Obama. The Israeli prime minister used an address to a joint meeting of Congress to blast the administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran, and the White House rebuked the prime minister’s public warning about a large turnout of Arab Israeli voters in the election.

“The announcement that he is no longer committed to a Palestinian state will do Israel great damage,” Frank told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. “An announcement that they intend forever, no matter what, to govern the Palestinians as subjects — I think that’s a mistake. It’s bad for Israel; it’s bad for Israeli democracy, and it’s terrible for Israeli relations.”

The risks for Israel could include economic boycotts in Europe and increased support in the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state, he said. He urged American Jews to press the Israeli government to change course: “When your friend is doing something that will be damaging, I think it’s your obligation to tell him that.”

Frank described his fellow Bay State liberal, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, as a powerful force pushing Obama and congressional Democrats to protect the financial regulations enacted in 2010. “The fact that she would be critical, I think that deters a lot of Democrats from maybe joining in the effort to chip away,” Frank said. “I think it’s helped firm up the president.” When Frank heard in the House Cloak Room last

month that several Democratic representatives might be willing to support changes in the bill that he thought would weaken it, “I said, ‘I’m going to tell Elizabeth,’ and I called her up,” he recalled.

“Frankly, if people in many parts of this country who are Democrats think Elizabeth Warren is going to be critical of them, they’re going to be careful.”

He described the advice he gives young gay men and lesbians interested in running for office but unsure whether to reveal their sexual orientation. Frank didn’t acknowledge he was gay until 1987, during his fourth term in Congress. In 2012, he became the first member of Congress to join in a same-sex marriage, to Jim Ready.

“The price you pay for repressing yourself is very, very high,” he said, “and I would advise you that, yes, it’s better to be honest about what you are for your own mental health.” Until he did so, he said, “my default position was unhappiness, sadness, anger.”

FAA approves testing for Prime Air deliveries Bart Jansen

A drone carries an Amazon container in December 2013.

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Federal Aviation Administration approved Amazon Logistics Inc. on Thursday to fly drones experimentally.

The approval will allow the company to conduct research, development and crew training for deliveries called Amazon Prime Air. The approval allows the company to fly remote-controlled aircraft lower than 400 feet during daylight hours, and the pilot must have a private pilot’s certificate.

Other restrictions include keeping the aircraft within view of its pilot or a partner, called a “visual observer,” and flying at least 500 feet away from people not associ-

ated with the experiments.

While Amazon is the highestprofile company to get FAA approval to fly drones commercially, the agency granted 48 petitions through Friday, for purposes such as movie-making, smokestack inspection and aerial photography.

But hundreds more applications are pending.

In 2012, Congress ordered the FAA to integrate drones into the skies with passenger planes by September 2015. Watchdogs have said the agency is unlikely to

meet that deadline. The FAA proposal for small drones, which is open for public comment now, is likely to take 18 months to two years to complete.

Amazon (AMZN) shares were flat in after-hours trading.

The approval was granted under an airworthiness certificate that requires Amazon to report monthly to the FAA. The reports must include the number of flights, a pilot duty time per flight, any malfunctions, deviation and instructions from air-traffic con-

trollers and unintended loss of links between the aircraft and remote pilot.

Amazon ignited interest in the commercial use of drones with a December 2013 story on 60 Minutes about the prospects for drones to deliver products bought on its website.

The FAA released a long-awaited proposal in February for rules governing remote-controlled aircraft weighing up to 55 pounds.

But even that development required a pilot for each drone, which could hinder deliveries envisioned along automatic flying directions.

The approval Thursday allows Amazon to expand its research.

“Amazon Prime Air, a new delivery system that will get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using small aerial vehicles, is one invention we are incredibly passionate about,” the company’s associate general counsel, Stephanie Burns, wrote last month in asking for FAA approval.

TARGET DATA BREACH

SETTLEMENT A BUST FOR CONSUMERS The data breach affected as many as 103 million people who shopped at Target between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013.

Most will get zilch from $10M Target agreed to pay Hadley Malcolm and Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

Few Target data breach victims will likely get anything, and even fewer will get the maximum $10,000 they’re eligible for as part of a $10 million settlement granted preliminary approval on Thursday.

The burden of proof of losses is on consumers, security experts say. Potentially more than 100 million customers were affected by the breach in November and December of 2013. Of those who

take the time to file a claim, many will likely get only $50 to $100, says Brian Yarbrough, consumer research analyst with Edward Jones.

So Target may end up paying out only a small portion of the $10 million because that money pot is only available to “those consumers who can demonstrate loss,” says Sasha Romanosky, an information security specialist with the RAND Corp.

The settlement says Target won’t keep any portion of the money set aside for victims but it’s unclear what would happen to any remaining settlement funds.

Generally, it’s difficult for people to actually prove harm due to a breach, say Romanosky and Craig A. Newman, managing partner at law firm Richards

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Victims of Target's 2013 data breach will be eligible for up to $10,000 each, but have to be able to show that they had at least one of the following: uUnauthorized, unreimbursed charges on a credit or debit card uTime addressing unauthorized charges uCosts to hire someone to help correct a credit report uHigher interest rate on an account or paid higher interest fees uLoss of access or restricted access to funds uFees paid on accounts uCredit-related costs such as credit monitoring or buying credit reports

When a fraudulent charge is made on a credit card, consumers don’t generally end up paying for it. If the fraud is caught by the credit card company before it goes through, it never hits their card. If it does go through and the consumer reports it, it’s almost always removed if it’s reported within a reasonable amount of time.

If a consumer did have a fraudulent charge that they ended up paying, they would have to be able to provide paperwork showing that they’d documented that they hadn’t made the charge and had tried to correct it, but failed.

Fed goes slo-mo on interest rate hikes ‘Extraordinarily slow’ pace is expected Paul Davidson USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve is finally raising its starting pistol, but it’s likely to jog, not sprint, around the track.

The Fed signaled Wednesday that it’s poised to increase its near-zero benchmark interest rate within months, dropping a pledge to “be patient” as it considers pulling the trigger for the first time since 2006.

While the wording change was expected, economists were surprised by the leisurely pace of increases Fed policymakers are projecting, and some believe they’ll eventually be forced to shake a leg.

“The pace of the rate hikes (is) expected to remain extraordinarily slow by historical standards,” says Chief Economist Scott Anderson of Bank of the West.

to keep a lid on inflation in a surging economy and labor market, and lowers rates to spur activity and push down unemployment.

In previous cycles, low unemployment and rising inflation went hand-in-hand.

This time, despite strong job growth, inflation remains stubbornly weak, in part because of low oil prices, and prospects for a sharp upturn are dim as the nearnormal unemployment rate of 5.5% falls even further, Fed Chair Janet Yellen told reporters.

Low unemployment should force employers to raise wages to attract workers, pulling up inflation. But a large supply of discouraged workers who had stopped looking for jobs means unemployment can continue to drop and firms can boost pay slowly. Wage growth has been meager.

Another reason rates are expected to climb gradually is that other major global economies are lowering interest rates amid sluggish growth even while the Fed prepares to raise rates, Anderson says. That’s strengthening the dollar and hurting U.S. exports and the economy.

But Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics attributes the Fed’s paltry rate-hike forecasts to an effort to calm markets that might have sold off in response to its decision to remove its “patient” pledge.

The strategy worked. On Wednesday, stocks rallied and Treasury yields fell. But like several other economists, Ashworth expects wage growth to pick up more rapidly than the Fed believes, forcing it to raise rates somewhat more briskly next year.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

If wild stock market gyrations can be caused by a single word like “patient,” why can’t the market be catapulted higher by a number? The number “5” to be more precise.

While the stock market ain’t witchcraft and there’s really no such thing as a sure thing on Wall Street, there has been one odd investment play that seems to work over and over and over again.

The wondrous winning trend in question has to do with years ending in “5.” And that’s a highly relevant statistic now, because this year just happens to be 2015!

“Since the S&P 500 began in the late 1920s, every year ending in ‘5’ has been positive,” the wondrous number-crunchers and

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

market-data aficionados at Bespoke Investment Group make clear in a revelatory research note titled, “Years Like 2015 And Other Patterns.”

In the eight years ending in “5” since 1935, the S&P 500 stock index has finished higher 100% of the time. And the average gains posted by the index are an eyepopping 25.3%. Even the two times the market got off to a losing start through late March — back in 1935 and 2005 — it still ended the year in the black, Bespoke data show.

Even after Thursday’s 0.5% drop, the index is up 1.5% in 2015.

So what explains this phenomenon? “It is hard to come up with any logical reason why years ending in five have been so strong,” Bespoke notes. But who wants to be a buzzkill? Years in ending in “5” is a market X-Factor — no matter how unexplainable.

Guess?

News is good, but it’s already been priced in

Q: Is Lennar a way to play housing boom?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Housing has gone from a bad word with investors to an opportunity. But Lennar shares are an example of how a recovering sector can be risky business for investors.

Home builder Lennar had a truck full of good news for investors on Thursday when it reported its quarterly results.

The Miami-based builder reported 43% higher adjusted quarterly profit of 50 cents a share on 20% higher revenue of $1.6 billion. The company’s profit beat analysts’ forecasts by 11%, says S&P Capital IQ. The good news wasn’t just on the earnings game, but on the fundamentals, too. New orders of homes rose 18% to 5,287.

With all this good news, you’d think Lennar might be the way to play the new housing boom. Analysts are even forecasting the company’s adjusted earnings to grow another 17% this year. But, Lennar is yet another case of a stock where all the good news — and then some — is already priced in. Analysts rate the stock a “hold” and have an 18-month price target of $47.37, which is below the current price.

The issue is the valuation. The stock trades at roughly 18 times trailing diluted earnings, which is “fairly valued” and reduces future upside, says Jay McCanless, analyst at Sterne Agee.

Consumers unlikely to get much in deal quarter with $2.2 billion in cash on its balance sheet. “For Target, basically it’s nice just to get it over with. They have plenty to pay this out.”

It’s also unlikely anyone will get anywhere near a $10,000 payout, Yarbrough says.

“Your chances of that are pretty slim,” he says. “I would say probably $50 to $100 is probably what you’re going to get.”

The settlement, announced in court documents filed in Minnesota on Wednesday, also requires Target to pay up to $6.75 million in legal fees to attorneys repre-

The retailer has to appoint a chief information security officer — Target named Brad Maiorino to the position last summer. His responsibilities include overseeing the company’s global information security and information technology risk organization.

Target also has to maintain a program that identifies internal and external security risks to shoppers’ personal information, have a process for monitoring information security risks and give security training to employees fo-

cusing on the importance of keeping customers’ information safe.

Most, if not all, of those security steps were likely already in place after the breach occurred and aren’t particularly groundbreaking, Newman says.

The breach affected as many as 103 million people who shopped at Target between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013.

The number of people who end up submitting claims will likely be slim though, Newman says.

“I suspect the number will be low,” he says. “The hassle factor cannot be understated. Realistically, what damages has a consumer suffered that the law is going to recognize?”

‘Bloodline’: The family that strays together Netflix drama follows Rayburns’ twists and turns Donna Freydkin USA TODAY

NEW YORK Take a dozen lead actors, submerge them in the sweltering, wet, mosquito-laden Florida Keys for eight months, and roll the cameras.

What you wind up with is Bloodline, the twisty 13-episode Netflix drama created by the team behind the knotty Glenn Close legal thriller Damages.

Bloodline has the same fluid sense of time, dipping into the past and lurching into the future.

The series explores the Rayburns, a storied innkeeper family with secrets that reveal themselves in fits and starts, and is headlined by Emmy winner Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) and Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn, the story’s catalyst.

Chandler’s dutiful, responsible sheriff, John, is the pillar of his clan, and Mendelsohn’s slippery wastrel, Danny, slithers home for a reunion — only to wind up passed out, drunk and naked on the dock. It all leads to someone in the family doing something very, very bad. What it is, what it leads to, is at first murky.

“It’s fascinating to put a family together who all approach their own process so differently, says co-creator Todd A. Kessler. But “both Kyle and Ben can convey sensitivity and empathy. Every-

The show explores family and “roles we’re cast in by circumstance,” says Ben Mendelsohn, right, with Kyle Chandler.

one was very close.” Linda Cardellini and Norbert Leo Butz play other Rayburn siblings.

When eldest, black-sheep son Danny returns home after a long absence, he tries to fit in with his upstanding siblings and parents (Sissy Spacek and Sam Shepard).

“I don’t think Danny considers himself dangerous. He’s felt to be dangerous by some of his family,” Mendelsohn says. The show explores “the family roles we’re cast in by circumstance and the way that family works.”

For Chandler, “it’s almost like a coming-of-age story. He’s been taking care of people his whole life, and he starts to realize he does not have to do that,” he says.

The actors have an easy repartee over breakfast.

“We had a long time to get to know each other and feel free enough to dislike something,” Mendelsohn says. “We had some pretty ugly scenes go down amongst us in the later periods.”

Ugly moments as characters, or actual people? Mendelsohn skates right past that question, but whichever, “I hope (they) fortify what we did.”

Mortgage rates remain near historic lows. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 3.86 percent last week, according to the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. A year ago it stood at 4.37 percent.

Meanwhile, employers have stepped up hiring.

The economy added a solid 295,000 jobs last month, helping to bring down the national unemployment rate to a seven-year low of 5.5

percent. More Americans earning paychecks should eventually push home sales higher.

The latest NAHB index was based on responses from 346 builders. Its measure of current sales conditions fell three points to 58, while a gauge of traffic by prospective buyers declined two points to 37. Builders’ outlook for sales over the next six months held steady at 59.

Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to NAHB data.

The National Association of Home Builders/ Wells Fargo builder sentiment index is 53 — readings above 50 indicate builders view sales conditions as good.

day before the Jayhawks’ 40-minute shootaround in CenturyLink Center, site of today’s 11:15 a.m. Midwest Regional contest between No. 2 seed KU (26-8) and No. 15 New Mexico State (23-10).

“They’ve always had us as outcasts the whole year.

We are Kansas basketball.

We know what we can do.

We know what works and doesn’t work for us. We are pretty much ready to go out and give it our all.”

Part of the pundits’ skepticism about KU’s chances in the NCAAs undoubtedly stems from the fact undefeated Kentucky is in the same regional.

UK is the prohibitive favorite to breeze to the Final Four.

However, another reason KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS ANSWERS QUESTIONS in the locker room prior to Friday’s Please see KANSAS, page 4C practice.

Omaha, Neb. — Down goes Iowa State. Down goes Baylor. Down goes Texas.

Just a bad day for the Big 12, or a good day to stop referring to it as the best basketball conference in the country?

Both.

Kansas University, regular-season champ, went 6-2 against Thursday’s three losers, so it’s not time for anybody to panic, but it does serve as a reminder that the gap between socalled power conferences and mid-majors steadily shrinks, courtesy in many ways to the absurdity of the one-and-done climate.

Today’s game against No. 15 seed New Mexico State is no layup, not that a layup is the sure thing it used to be in college basketball anyway.

If UAB can knock off Iowa State by a point and

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Georgia State can send Baylor home by a point, outscoring the Bears 13-0 in the final 2:54, the Aggies can make Kansas sweat.

After all, New Mexico State has won 13 in a row, and even against the weak competition the WAC has to offer, that’s not easy to do. The Aggies have a decent full-court press and rank ninth in the nation in offensive rebounding, but turn it over a ton.

New Mexico State prides itself on zone, press

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

NEW MEXICO STATE FRESHMAN GUARD PASCAL SIAKAM WARMS UP during the Aggies’ early practice session Friday.

Omaha, Neb. — New Mexico State guard Matt Taylor remembers a time, not long ago, when he thought teammates Daniel Mullings and DK Eldridge were the best defenders on the planet.

His admiration for the two NMSU guards, who will face second-seeded Kansas in the NCAA Tournament at 11:15 a.m. today at CenturyLink Center, has only grown since those days.

“The first week of practice, I don’t think I ever

even got the ball across halfcourt, between DK and Daniel Mullings guarding me,” recalled Taylor of the killer press headed up by the Aggies’ defensive menaces. “They’re competitors.

They’re both aggressive. It’s really just who they are. The coaches didn’t even have to ask them to do that. That’s just how they want to play.”

And the entire NMSU team has followed suit.

Known as much for their active zone defense as their full-court pressure, the Aggies are one of the most aggressive defensive teams

in this year’s field. Makes.

Misses. Doesn’t matter.

New Mexico State is going to pick teams up full-court and do everything in its power to make something as simple as dribbling a basketball extremely uncomfortable.

“If you watch the film, it ain’t nothing serious,” Taylor said. “Just 40 minutes of harassment. We try to bother the offense as much as we can.”

Kansas golfers tied for first in desert

Goodyear, Ariz. — Kansas red-shirt freshman Brock Drogosch found himself at the top of the leaderboard Thursday after Day One of the Desert Shootout after carding a round of 6-under 66 to help put the KU men’s golf team in a tie for first place.

The Jayhawks are tied with Wichita State and have all six golfers in the top 25.

Drogosch is tied with Tulsa’s Colton Staggs for the lead, and Chase Hanna, Jacques Wilson (unattached) and Daniel Hudson rounded out a trio of Jayhawks who are four shots back at 2-under 70. Connor Peck and Ben Welle capped the day for Kansas with rounds of even par-72.

Browns sign ex-Chief wideout Dwayne Bowe Cleveland — Dwayne Bowe hasn’t consistently produced like a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver in four years, but he still resembles a knight in shining armor more than anyone else the Browns have at the position.

So, theoretically, Bowe should boost a receiving corps desperate for a lift in the wake of former All-Pro Josh Gordon’s NFL career being placed on life support last month. Gordon has been banished from the league until at least February 2016 because of his recurring violations of its substance-abuse policy.

Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs cut Bowe, whose salarycap number for next season would have been $14 million under his old, five-year contract that was worth $56 million and scheduled to run through 2017.

Bookies cheer early NCAA Tourney upsets Las Vegas — Bookmakers had something to cheer about Thursday, even if the underdogs didn’t always prevail in the NCAA Tournament.

Favored teams took a beating to open the tournament, with underdogs covering the spread in the first 10 games, beginning with the play-in games earlier in the week. In seven of those games, the team oddsmakers figured would lose ended up winning outright.

“The dogs got out of the chute fast,” said Nick Bogdanovich, the oddsmaker for the William Hill betting chain.

That was good news for this city’s legal sports books, most of which were packed with hundreds or even thousands of fans who came to town to celebrate — and bet on — March Madness. Since the general public tends to bet favorites more than underdogs in the tournament, the bookies were ahead early.

The biggest outright win against the spread was UAB’s 60-59 victory over Iowa State.

The Blazers were 13.5-point underdogs going into the game.

Boeheim calls sanctions ‘unduly harsh,’ says he might retire before 2018 Syracuse, N.Y. (ap) — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has always hinted he planned to retire on his own terms. That moment is at hand and his plan remains intact despite NCAA sanctions marring the end of his career.

In an hour-long press conference on Thursday ahead of top teams starting in the NCAA Tournament, Boeheim said that 2018 is the “right time” to retire, but acknowledged that next season could be his last as he and the university appeal punishments for academic and benefits violations.

Boeheim said his plan discussed with the university’s chancellor is to retire after three more seasons, but that he will take things year by year.

“I love coaching, and you can coach as long as you can be effective. I thought I was effective this year. I don’t think I was as good as I would have

liked to have been, but I think I was effective,” said Boeheim, head coach at his alma mater since 1976. “If I’m not effective at the end of next year, I won’t coach after next year.

The three-year thing is the outside.”

Boeheim said retiring after his team reached the Final Four in 2012 would have been ideal, but the timing wasn’t right. He said he has told recruits he will be here next season but has no firm plans beyond that.

Boeheim said some of the NCAA’s allegations laid out in a scathing 94-page report earlier this month are inaccurate.

He called the penalties “unduly harsh” and said the reason he planned to stay on as coach was to make sure the program was in good shape.

“There was no way I would ever run away from an investigation in progress,” Boeheim said. “I had no plans to coach

this long. This investigation has made it imperative.”

The NCAA punished Boeheim and Syracuse for academic, benefits and other violations that officials said showed the university had lost control of the athletic department.

“Although the infractions report does not find that I had personal involvement in any violations of NCAA rules, the Committee on Infractions has asserted that for the past 10 years I did not promote an atmosphere of compliance within the men’s basketball program, and I did not monitor the activities regarding compliance of those within the program.

This could not be further from the truth,” Boeheim said, reading from a prepared statement.

“This is far from a program Check out ljworld.com and KUSports. where student-athletes freely com for online-only content from the committed academic fraud.”

“I’ll take the punishment,” ‘Hawks in the NBA Boeheim said.

Iowa State, Baylor, Texas ousted ————

North Carolina hangs on against Harvard; UCLA edges SMU The Associated Press

South Regional No. 14 UAB 60, No. 3 Iowa St. 59 Louisville, Ky. — The UAB Blazers may not have a football program anymore. They do have the first big upset of the NCAA Tournament and hope they can give their university something to rally around.

William Lee scored the last four points for UAB, and the Blazers knocked off Iowa State on Thursday in their opening game in the tournament. It’s the third straight year a 14 seed has upset a No. 3 seed, and Georgia State followed by joining the list within an hour with a win over Baylor.

The Blazers (20-15) came in with the youngest team in the NCAA Tournament and with nobody having played in this tournament before.

They wound up winning the program’s first NCAA game since 2005 and ran over to celebrate in front of the fans of a school that shut down its football program in December.

“For us, it was just huge,” UAB junior Robert Brown said. “We come here, not just to play games, but to actually make some noise and to win some games. To be able to do that and win for Birmingham, win for coach (Jerod) Haase, it’s a great feeling.”

And it set off a wild celebration in the Blazers’ locker room.

“We were celebrating because that was a really big win for us with us being the underdogs,” UAB guard Tyler Madison said.

Haase estimated maybe four or five of the Blazers didn’t even realize a month ago that the Conference USA Tournament champion earned an automatic berth, while another had never watched a selection show before Sunday.

The Utes’ stout defense thwarted the usually high-scoring Lumberjacks, who were held well under their season average of 79.5 points.

Ty Charles led Stephen F. Austin (29-5) with 14 points.

No. 11 UCLA 60, No. 6 SMU 59 Louisville, Ky. — Bryce Alford made four three-pointers in the final 3:40, his last on a rare goaltending call with 13 seconds remaining, to push UCLA past SMU. Alford’s points came on nine long-range shots, but his last attempt was the most debated as his shot from the left side appeared to glance off the rim as SMU’s Yanick Moreira went up to grab the miss. Officials awarded Alford, the son of coach Steve Alford, the basket, to the disbelief of SMU players and coach Larry Brown.

No. 14 Georgia St. 57, No. 3 Baylor 56 Jacksonville, Fla. — R.J. Hunter kept firing away, eventually lifting Georgia State over Baylor and knocking his father right off his seat.

Hunter’s three-pointer with 2.7 seconds remaining capped a comeback from a 12-point deficit and lifted the Panthers past the Bears.

With father, Ron, working the sideline in a rolling chair less than a week after tearing his left Achilles tendon celebrating Georgia State’s victory in the Sun Belt Conference championship, R.J. shrugged off a poor shooting performance to come through when his team needed him most.

Baylor (24-10), which received 18 points and 15 rebounds from reserve Taurean Prince, did not score after going up 56-44 on two free throws with 2:54 remaining.

Russell regrouped from a blow that sent blood streaming down the left side of his face near the end of regulation, showing why many believe he will be a top pick in this summer’s NBA Draft.

He made 10 of 20 shots, including four of seven from three-point range, and added six rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks healthy for NCAA opener

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — Barring an unforeseen mishap, such as somebody slipping in the shower this morning, Kansas University’s basketball team should be relatively healthy heading into an 11:15 a.m., second-round NCAA Tournament game against New Mexico State.

“We’re better off than we were the last three weeks. I’m excited about that,” KU coach Bill Self said after Thursday’s 40-minute shootaround in CenturyLink Center.

“Wayne’s ankle is fine,” Self stated of Wayne Selden Jr., who has been slowed by a right ankle sprain. “Landen (Lucas,

hip, knee, back injuries) is doing better. He’s been able to practice a couple times this week. Perry has (practiced) three days in a row. He looks good,” Self added of junior forward Ellis, who has been wearing a brace to protect his sprained right knee.

“Perry seems to have his confidence back. Not from a shooting standpoint, but a competitivebounce, aggressive standpoint. Even the moves he practiced on his own today were moves that gave him problems last week. He’s done a good job of rehab. I’m not saying he’s making shots at an 80 percent clip now.

He’s close to being back where he was before he was injured.”

Sophomore forward Lucas said: “I feel great.

Coach gave me some rest this week. I’ve been able to recover and regroup. I feel good.”

Sophomore Frank Mason III, who has played a lot of minutes at the point this season, also has had an assortment of bumps and bruises.

“My legs feel great. I feel good. I’ve had a couple days to get my body right. I’ve gotten my rest, got in the cold tub. I’m pretty excited for tomorrow (today),” Mason said.

Junior forward Jamari Traylor noted: “We’ve had a couple days to get healed up and rest. Guys were looking good today, feeling confident.

Mum is word: Freshman Cliff Alexander did not practice with the Jayhawks on Thursday and was not in Omaha with the Jayhawks. Rumors exist that Alexander met with the NCAA this week regarding his eligibility issue. Alexander’s attorney did not return a message asking for clarification.

“We miss him. We wish he was here. At the same time, we have to move forward and not look back,” Mason said.

“We need to concentrate on this game and people that are here.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S BASKETBALL PLAYERS WATCH SOME NCAA TOURNAMENT PLAY before a short, public practice Friday at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. KU will open the NCAA Tournament at 11:15 a.m. today against New Mexico State.

to doubt KU might be what happened a year ago when the Jayhawks beat Eastern Kentucky in the second round in St. Louis before falling to Stanford and failing to survive the first weekend.

“Wayne is always talking about, ‘We can’t be like last year. We have to take every game one game at a time and not take anything for granted,’’’ Oubre said of sophomore Wayne Selden Jr., who has mentored Oubre this season.

“I feel they (returning Jayhawk players) have a chip on their shoulder from last year. I’m just here trying to help my teammates and our team have the best chance to win,” Oubre added.

Selden concedes it has been important for him to learn lessons from the early exit his freshman campaign.

“I felt like last year went by way too fast, and just like that we were done,” Selden said. “This year (I’m) trying to take a different approach and focusing in on the little details.”

For what it’s worth, coach Bill Self is not using the us-against-theworld mentality for today’s game. It’s tough for a No. 2 seed to play the no-respect card.

“I wouldn’t think we are anyone’s favorite pick to do a lot of things or make it to Indianapolis (site of Final Four) in large part because there are some really good teams in our field,” Self said.

“I am not sure anybody

ANSWER QUESTIONS during a news conference at CentruryLink Center. is saying New Mexico State, Indiana or Wichita State is going either, because everybody is in with Kentucky. The bottom line is, we are capable of playing with anybody when we play well.

We are also capable of being had when we don’t play well. We’ve had explayers tell us you can beat anybody or be beaten. I do think that is true.

There’s less margin for error this year than there has been.

“The doubters are what people are saying on ESPN,” Self added.

“Trust me, Frank (Mason III) is not on the Internet listening to what everybody has to say about Kansas. That didn’t register. All we are concerned about is playing for each other, getting ourselves right. We know there may be people out there that think this team isn’t capable of doing special things. Deep in our heart, we know we are if we play well.”

Moving past the mental to the technical as-

pects of today’s game, Self says it’s important the Jayhawks handle New Mexico State’s press and its length.

The Aggies start 6-foot10 Tshilidzi Nephawe, 6-9 Pascal Siakam and 6-8 Remi Barry.

“Their zone is a distorted 3-2 that looks like a 4-1 because they bring their guys up really high, at least initially,” Self said. “It’s from the same family that Baylor does, so at least we’ve gone against Baylor three times where we had to attack their zone. The biggest thing is, you have to get to the middle and attack it. Their zone will change shapes.

Don’t worry about what they are doing, let’s just make sure we get the ball to certain areas of the floor.”

The shape the Jayhawks are concerned about is height of the Aggies’ trees.

“We’ve played against size before,” Oubre said.

“It’s not like we haven’t seen it. We have to step

up big on the glass, attack the zone and attack the glass strong. We have to shoot with confidence, follow our game plan, play the game we know how to play, and great things will happen for us.”

“We know they’ve got a great group of guys,” junior Jamari Traylor said of the Aggies’ bigs. “They have a lot of size, 6-8, 6-9, 6-10. It’s a crazy zone they play. We’ll have to do our best job breaking it down, getting the basketball moving. They have a great team, a big team.”

If KU wins today, it will meet the winner of the Wichita State-Indiana game at a yet-to-be-determined time Sunday. If KU loses today, the season is over.

“I’ve got to make sure everybody’s mind is right.

We’ve got to be turned up this game,” Traylor said.

“It’s an early game. I feel everybody has to be a lot more into it and focused.

I’ve been talking to the guys. We’ll be ready for it.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S DEVONTÉ GRAHAM, LEFT, AND LANDEN LUCAS SIGN AUTOGRAPHS as part of a short public practice session Friday at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

‘Chili’ represents S. Africa ————

NMSU forward Nephawe plays for home country

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — There’s no dog, powder or dip involved, only a 17-yearold South African boy trying to make his name easier for people to pronounce.

When New Mexico State forward Tshilidzi Nephawe (pronounced Cha-lee-zee Nah-powway) first started playing basketball in his hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa, the other athletes he played with had a difficult time pronouncing his name.

“Venda, my language, is the hardest language to pronounce in South Africa,” Nephawe said in front of his locker at CenturyLink Center, where his 15th-seeded Aggies were preparing to face No. 2 seed Kansas at 11:15 a.m. today. “Even some South African people from other cultures really struggle pronouncing my name. When I started playing basketball, I started playing with people from other cultures, and they would struggle, saying, ‘Chil-ee, Chil-ih,’ and I said, ‘You know, my name is Chili.’”

From that day on, Nephawe has been known to those closest to him as “Chili.” The name and the frame — 6-foot10, 268 pounds, chiseled, long and athletic — don’t exactly match, but the NMSU forward, one of nine foreign-born players on the Aggies’ roster, has embraced it wholeheartedly.

“Just call him Chili,” NMSU guard DK Eldridge said. “He gets mad if you don’t say his nickname.”

And mad is not something anyone wants to make Nephawe, who did

not learn English until he arrived in the United States and did not know a thing about the NCAA Tournament until his freshman year at NMSU. Despite his intensely physical play and rockedup appearance, Nephawe has been described by NMSU coach Marvin Menzies as “one of the nicest human beings you could ever know.”

The son of a government office worker mother and tailor father and lone boy in a family of five children, Nephawe has a great deal of pride in his homeland. That pride,

however, is not a wavethe-flag-and-stand-forthe-anthem kind of pride.

It’s rooted in events and progress that took place even before Nephawe was born.

“Every time I put that NMSU jersey on and go play, I try to represent my country,” Nephawe said.

“It means a lot because we came from far, when it comes to race and everything. I’m just glad the country is where it is now. Even though it only changed in 1994 (with the end of apartheid), I feel like everyone is equal now. It’s like it is here.”

Aggies CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

resembled that of Baylor’s, know that Kansas struggled with pressure at times this season. That’s one of the many reasons the NMSU players believe today’s match-up is a good one.

And they’re really not planning on changing much about what they do — on offense or defense — against the Jayhawks (26-8).

“At the end of the day, we want the ball more than you do,” Eldridge said. “Either you’re gonna get the ball across halfcourt, or you’re gonna give it to us.”

No threes for KU? Asked how the Aggies might go about defending Kansas, NMSU big man Tshilidzi Nephawe painted a very simple picture.

“We’re not gonna let them shoot threes for sure,” Nephawe said.

“And when they drive inside, we think our size will make them adjust their shots. We should be good if we don’t give them any threes.”

Opponents shot just .293 (120-409) from threepoint range against the Aggies this season.

Upset minded Six players in the NMSU locker room played in last year’s NCAA Tournament loss to San Diego State, which came in overtime and left the Aggies counting down the days to their next shot.

“We like the sound of an upset and all that stuff,”

NEW MEXICO STATE SENIOR FORWARD REMI BARRY, IN PHOTO AT LEFT, and senior guard Daniel Mullings, above, practice at CenturyLink Center.

TALE OF THE TAPE

sophomore guard Ian Baker said. “And we lost in overtime in the tournament last year, so we’re really looking forward to getting one this year.”

Baker said the key to knocking off Kansas was for his team to treat today’s game just like any other.

“We just need to do what we’ve been doing all year,” he said. “Don’t let all this atmosphere and the media and the crowd get to us. Just go out there, do what we do and try to win a basketball game. It’s very possible. And hopefully we can make it happen.”

International flavor The New Mexico State roster features nine foreign-born players and just four Americans. New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies said such diversity has made the basketball experience at the Las Cruces, New Mexico, school about more than just layups and free throws, blocked shots and rebounds.

“I would say there are more advantages than challenges,” Menzies said. “It’s very special for the guys on the team to be able to interact with guys from different countries and cultures

Nephawe, who is from Johannesburg, South Africa, said the coming together of so many guys from so many places has created a deeper bond than he could have imagined.

“We just really connect,” Nephawe said.

Nephawe and Pascal Siakam (Cameroon) are from Africa; Mullings, Taylor, Rashawn Browne,

Tanveer Bhullar and Jalyn Pennie are from Toronto; and Remi Barry (Paris) and Johnathon Wilkins (Lille) are from France.

Menzies said the heavy international presence on his team was part of a conscious recruiting decision designed to find “hidden gems.”

“I had several relationships in Europe, Africa,” Menzies said. “And we just thought if we were going to compete at a high level, we’ve got to think a little bit outside the box.”

What the champions, regular-season and postseason, of the WAC don’t have is the best basketball player in today’s game.

That would be Perry Ellis, who appeared to move well Thursday, at least from what can be learned watching a public practice, which amounts to little more than players throwing up shots at an easy pace.

“It’s almost there, man,” Ellis said of his sprained right knee. “It’s definitely getting better and better, and it’s almost there. And when you get out there for the tournament, the adrenaline gets going, and that makes you feel even better.”

Asked to put a percentage on his recovery, Ellis said, “Maybe like 90-plus, maybe,” he said.

“I’m jumping well, moving well on it, feeling real comfortable on it.”

Ellis, who takes hard steps when he’s executing his patented spin moves, reiterated that playing in the Big A lot 12 tourof people nament may be helped him to doubting learn how us. We’re to play just usthrough ing that injury.

“Getting for fuel to a little motivate pain, that us.” kind of messes with your — KU’s Perry mind a Ellis little bit, a little pain when you’re spinning and stuff,” he said.

“Now I’m not getting that much, so it’s been great in that aspect. Now it’s feeling a lot better. No problem with that.”

Media sessions with the Kansas players took place before the Big 12 reeled off three losses, which could only add to shaky forecasts about KU’s tournament fate, a reality not lost on the players.

“A lot of people may be doubting us,” Ellis said. “We’re just using that for fuel to motivate us. You’re just kind of like, ‘Dang,’you know?

Kind of just thinking, like, ‘Why’s that, you know?’ But it’s just fuel.

I think it definitely could help us, playing with that chip on your shoulder and going from there.”

New-found disrespect for the Big 12 was the story of the day in the tourney Thursday. Naturally, Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford didn’t buy it.

“Obviously, it’s been a rough day for the Big 12,” said Ford, whose Cowboys face Oregon today.

“You know, I fielded a lot of questions the last two to three days about the Big 12 has been the best league in America all year long. All the numbers say it. You can go through it all, and the popular question was, well, what if you don’t do so good? And I said that doesn’t matter. I’m not going to base anything on one day or three weeks on what we have done in the last four months.”

Still, the tournament’s the best vehicle for comparing leagues. So far, so bad. That can change today with a pair of games in Omaha involving Kansas and Oklahoma State and a pair in Columbus, Ohio (West Virginia vs. Buffalo, Oklahoma vs. Albany).

“In my opinion, I think it’s the toughest league in America,” Oklahoma State guard Phil Forte.

To prove it, the league will have the stage the sort of comeback this tournament that Iowa State did game after game to win the Big 12 tournament championship.

Pete has a 20-year-old mentally challenged son living with him, and we also get along fine. (My grown children live in another state.) Pete’s son would live with us after we marry, and I am OK with that. We’ve set a date and even had an engagement party. Now everything is turning into a nightmare.

Pete and I have had some heavy make-out sessions, but we have never had sex. He now tells me he cannot “perform.” It doesn’t really matter to me, but he’s turning it into a huge problem. He says that

in order to really be married, according to his religion, it has to be consummated, and that because he isn’t capable of doing so, his son should be his stand-in.

Pete would be there to make sure everything was completed. I was shocked to say the least.

He has told a number of our friends about this, and they think he’s crazy. They also think I’m crazy to still be with him. He says if I love him it won’t mat-

Netflix’s ‘Bloodline’ is star-studded Great casting is often the best publicity. Not that Netflix is exactly lacking in that department. Beginning today, the streaming service makes available all 13 episodes of the family melodrama/crime drama “Bloodline.”

Sam Shepard (”The Right Stuff”) stars as Robert Rayburn, the patriarch of a proud family that forms a pillar of their community in the Florida Keys. An old hippie who liked the area’s laid-back a t m o sphere, he planted roots, started a shipyard and built an empire. Robert has been married to Sally (Sissy Spacek, “Carrie”) for decades.

Their family runs the gamut from straight-arrow John (Kyle Chandler, “Friday Night Lights”), a detective, to Danny (Ben Mendelsohn, “The Dark Knight Rises”), the black sheep whose return to the family begins a renewed look at a longburied secret.

Will Meg (Linda Cardellini, “Mad Men”), the baby of the family and an acclaimed lawyer, uphold her loyalty to the law or to the Rayburns? Chloe Sevigny (”Big Love”) rounds out the impressive cast.

For those with the latest in technology and toys, “Bloodline” is not only available in its entirety, but also viewable in 4K high-definition resolution.

O The 50th anniversary of “The Sound of Music” has reminded us of the enduring appeal and enormous popular success of that Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Tonight, TCM invites viewers to watch a marathon of Julie Andrews musicals from her post-”Sound” period.

If “Sound” marked the boxoffice highpoint of the Hollywood studio system, the financial failures of “Darling Lili” (7 p.m.) and “Star!” (9:30 p.m.) announced how quickly and profoundly audience tastes had changed. Andrews’ fortunes rebounded years later when she shed her chaste image for the 1982 musical “Victor/Victoria” (3:15 a.m.), directed by her late husband, Blake Edwards.

Tonight’s other highlights O Nick and Hank go down a gruesome path on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

O The gang glances back on the two-hour series finale of “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox).

BIRTHDAYS Basketball coach Pat Riley is 69. Director Spike Lee is 57.

ter and that it is only a one-time thing.

Pete says this is “nonnegotiable.” I don’t want anything to do with it, but if I marry Pete, all of our friends will think I slept with his son, even if I haven’t. If I’d known this before we got engaged, I never would have agreed to marry him. I am in good health and do not need him financially. What do I do?

— Upset in N.Y.C. Dear Upset: Leave.

Now. The reason various religions expect marriages to be consummated is to produce children. You are not going to do that, so Pete’s request is completely unreasonable. If he wants his son to have a sexual experience, he can hire a professional. But you ought to get away from this nuttiness while you still can.

Dear Annie: I know
