here was a time when turning 100 was big news. You were in very rare company.

Today, widespread better health means that people over 100 are the fastestgrowing segment of the population, according to the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services. There are more centenarians now than at any time in history — an estimated 53,000 in the U.S. and 700 in Kansas.

Better public health is to thank, the decrease in tobacco use being the single largest factor, said David Johnson, Kansas University associate professor in psychology and gerontology and research scientist in the Life Span Institute.

Although reaching 100 is

Lawrence SafeCenter, county DA get domestic violence grants

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Lawrence’s GaDuGi SafeCenter and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office will receive federal grants to address sexual and domestic violence.

Nearly $1.2 million has been awarded to 25 organizations across the state from the 2015 Services Training Officers Prosecutors Violence Against Women Act (STOP VAWA), Gov. Sam Brownback’s office said. The District Attorney’s Office will receive $48,241 and the GaDuGi SafeCenter will receive $37,017.

Jess Harman, GaDuGi SafeCenter’s rural and underserved advocate,

“

We’ve been working with youth victims, but we really saw a need to have a specialized position.”

— Jess Harman, GaDuGi SafeCenter rural and underserved advocate said the organization has used the money to create a position to help younger victims of sexual violence. GaDuGi provides round-the-clock services for anyone in Douglas, Franklin and Jefferson counties who has been a victim of sexual violence.

“We’ve been working with youth victims, but we really saw a need to have a specialized po-

sition,” Harman said.

“Someone who has a working knowledge of the systems that youth have to encounter when they are survivors of sexual violence.”

The new hire will start in early April, Harman said.

The district attorney’s office has received STOP VAWA grant money since 2011, spokeswoman Cheryl Wright Kunard said. The office uses the grant money to fund Assistant District Attorney Alice Walker’s position, which is dedicated to domestic violence.

“The domestic violence unit is unique in its focus to be responsive and sensitive to the specialized needs of domestic violence survivors,” she said.

Health questions?

Candidates for City Commission will be attending a public forum about health in Lawrence on March 30, and we want to know what voters think about health initiatives.

How to remove a whole house trap

By John Hanna Associated Press

W

hole house traps were installed in most homes built before the 1940s. Originally installed to keep dangerous sewer gases (and rats) from entering the home, these ushaped cast-iron antiquities are now virtually obsolete.

If a home has separate traps for each plumbing fixture or appliance, it is often a good idea to remove the whole house trap before it collapses and causes sewage to seep into places it does not belong.

Step 1: Most whole house traps have two 3-inch to 4-inch threaded access plugs — one to access the sewer line running to the street and the other to access the main drain line that runs through the home.

It is not unusual to find the street side plug located beneath the home’s foundation wall.

Step 2: The hardest part of removing a whole house trap is accessing it. Use an electric demolition hammer or a sledgehammer to break away the concrete surrounding the access plugs.

Remove the rubble piece by piece to expose the whole house trap.

Step 3: Dig down beneath the whole house trap and remove the dirt and rubble until both the sewer line and the main drain line sides of the trap are exposed and there is adequate access to trap.

Step 4: Use a chain-style soil pipe cutter to snap off the cast-iron pipe on either side of the trap and remove the trap.

Step 5: Purchase two rubber couplings, a section of PVC pipe and a clean-out fitting the same diameter as the cast-iron drain line.

Step 6: Cut two short pieces of PVC pipe to go into either side of the clean-out Please see TRAP, page 6A

Republicans who control the Kansas Legislature are boxing themselves into considering tax increases by drafting proposed budgets in both chambers that don’t balance without them.

GOP legislators have repeatedly said that the budget shortfall projected at nearly $600 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1 represents a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

But, absent a significant, positive change in the state’s financial picture, top Republican lawmakers are now anticipating general tax increases of more than $100 million a year.

Gov. Sam BrownWe have no back has proposed backing off future choice. We’re income tax cuts and going to do what raising tobacco and alcohol taxes, and we have to do to the House and Sen- get balanced.” ate tax committees have had a hearing — State Sen. Les Donovan, on other proposR-Wichita, chairman of als, such as taxing renewable energy, the Senate Assessment imposing the state and Taxation Committee sales tax on utility bills and even raising property taxes.

The $15 billion-plus spending plans for the next fiscal year approved by the House and Senate budget committees rely heavily on shifting funds from trans- LEGISLATURE portation projects to other areas of government, and lawmakers have trimmed some general government spending. But GOP leaders also are promising new money to public schools — albeit, mostly to cover rising teacher pension costs — and greater spending on social services.

The state cut its top personal income tax rate by 29 percent and exempted 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers from the tax altogether. Legislators are not talking about reversing the rate cuts, but some GOP lawmakers are proposing to tinker with the tax break for business owners and farmers.

The shortfall arose after Brownback won approval of aggressive income tax cuts in 2012 and 2013 as an economic stimulus.

While there’s some thought of tinkering with those policies, Brownback and GOP legislators are floating a wide variety of proposals to raise taxes in other ways.

The House and Senate expect to debate their committees’ proposed budgets this week and to pass a final spending blueprint

Hospitals push for more Medicaid Read Topeka (ap) — Hospitals are hurting because Kansas hasn’t expanded Medicaid coverage to serve more poor people, health officials said in urging lawmakers to make changes.

But a House committee didn’t advance an expansion bill last week after hearing testimony about the measure’s cost. Rep. Dan Hawkins told The Wichita Eagle that the bill would remain alive, but he was unsure of its future. It’s possible something could happen with it during the veto session in May. The bill would strike language from an existing law that forbids the state from expanding Medicaid except by an act of the Legislature.

Under the measure, state health officials would be authorized to apply for a waiver from the U.S. De-

CERN. The CERN laboratory straddles the FrenchSwiss border (for fiction fans, that’s the same CERN where a scientist is found brutally murdered in the opening scene of Dan Brown’s bestselling thriller and “DaVinci Code” precursor, “Angels and Demons”).

The Large Hadron Collider launched in 2008 and discovered the Higgs boson — one of two types of fundamental particles, and a “game-changer” for particle physics — in 2012, according to CERN. Upgrades to the machine and its detectors are needed to better explore the Higgs.

for state government before lawmakers start their annual spring break on April 4. They are scheduled to return from their break April 29 to finish the year’s business, and their wrap-up is likely to be dominated by tax issues.

“We have no choice,” Sen. Les Donovan, chairman of the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee and a Wichita Republican, told the panel’s members last week.

“We’re going to do what we have to do to get balanced.”

At least a few legislators hope the spring brings good financial news. The state collected $22 million more than anticipated in taxes in February, and an unanticipated surplus in March would reduce the projected shortfall. State officials and university economists are meeting April 20 to draft a new financial forecast for state government through June 2016.

“We’re seeing improvements in our economy,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican.

“We’ll see if those results end up in the treasury.”

partment of Health and Human Services. There are no guarantees that a waiver would be approved, but federal officials have reached agreements with six states to add extra requirements to Medicaid eligibility or to give the private sector a role, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Adults in Kansas qualify for Medicaid only if they have an income of less than 33 percent of the poverty line, or about $8,002 for a family of four, have a child or are pregnant, or have a “total” disability that is permanent.

The bill would raise the income threshold to 138 percent of the poverty line, or $33,465 for the same family of four, and doesn’t include a requirement that recipients have children or a disability.

Scott Brunner, a senior analyst with Kan-

sas Health Institute, said about 182,000 adults in Kansas fall into a “coverage gap” because they earn too much to be eligible for Medicaid, but not enough to qualify for subsidies through the insurance exchange. Their options for care include doing without or using emergency rooms, which pass the costs onto hospitals and other patients, he said.

The bill’s biggest challenge came when Susan Mosier, acting secretary for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, testified that expanding Medicaid to cover more than 150,000 uninsured Kansans would cost the state an additional $2.4 billion from 2016 through 2025.

Some lawmakers, however, said her numbers were inflated, The Eagle reported.

searching for particles that could make up dark matter.

In lay terms, Bean likens the part her group is working on to a big camera that takes pictures as particles collide. But the massive camera takes 40 million pictures a second — way too much data for a human to edit — so it needs electronics that know how to sort through and save relevant information and throw out the rest.

“Most of that has to be done within a fraction of a second,” she said.

When the Large Hadron Collider restarts and begins churning out more data than ever before, the old electronics aren’t going to cut it, Bean said. So her group must update them.

A pilot pixel detector is in place for now, and Bean’s group plans to have a new detector ready to install in 2017.

The Large Hadron Collider is basically conducting warm-up exercises for the next couple

months and is expected to start doing collisions again in May or June.

KU was the lead institution on a grant to build part of the pixel detector, Bean said, and also had another grant that enabled KU students to travel to CERN in the summer to help with maintenance work from 2007 to 2014.

CERN describes the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment as one of the largest scientific collaborations in history, involving 4,300 particle physicists, engineers, technicians, students and support staff from 182 institutes in 42 countries.

It’s so big, Bean said, that the collaboration even has its own constitution and representatives who vote on issues.

“On any given day, there’s hundreds of video conferences,” she said.

Step 8: Loosen the clamps on the rubber couplings and slide a coupling over each of the two exposed drain pipe ends.

Step 9: With the cast-iron pipe protruding slightly from the rubber coupling, position the PVC pipe and clean-out fitting into place.

Step 10: Slide the rub-

Both the House Appropriations Committee’s budget proposals and the Senate Ways and Means Committee’s recommendations include $6.5 billion in spending financed with the state’s general tax revenues for both the next fiscal year and the one beginning July 1, 2016.

“It’s not sustainable,” said Sen. Laura Kelly of Topeka, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Ways and Means Committee and a strong critic of Brownback’s tax-cutting policies. “And we’re kidding ourselves.”

Each spending blueprint assumes that lawmakers raise more than $210 million a year in new revenues. GOP leaders expect to raise about $100 million by taxing health care insurers, mostly the private firms running the state’s Medicaid program, leaving lawmakers to close the rest of the gap with other tax proposals.

“The folks in charge, who in general are fairly fiscally conservative, were not able to cut the budget enough to match available resources,” said Rep. Don Hineman, a Dighton Republican who’s less conservative than GOP leaders and critical of the Brownback tax cuts. “That indicates we really do have a revenue problem, not a spending problem.”

Ryckman and Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican, said the budget proposals emerging from their committees represent a balance between cutting taxes and funding core government programs.

But the balance the committees have struck have put legislators on the path to spending the last days of their session looking at raising taxes to close the last gaps in the next budget.

When Mavilla found out about United Way’s ongoing BrainFood book drive, which provides books for area students served by the Harvester’s BackSnack program, she knew this was the volunteer opportunity she had been waiting for. Mavilla is passionate about reading, and wants to make sure kids from low-income homes can have books of their own.

She organized a children’s book drive for her classroom at Raintree Elementary School and collected 180 books. She hopes to extend the drive to the entire school and collect hundreds more books.

Currently, nine elementary schools in Lawrence participate in the United Way BrainFood program.

Every Friday, when the nearly 300 students at these schools who participate in the Harvester’s BackSnacks program receive food for the weekend, they also get a free book. Last year alone, as part of its Education Community Goal, United Way distributed about 4,000 books to kids who may have no other books in their homes.

Stoneback grew up in Lawrence and worked various jobs, mostly as a stenographer, after graduating with a degree in business from KU in 1938. She attributes her longevity to staying active and “having a positive attitude about everything.� True to that, she said she feels great about her upcoming birthday. “It seems to me it just happened overnight,�

Stoneback said. “All of a sudden here I am, going to be 100.�

Stoneback also stays busy at home, doing puzzles and following her beloved KU basketball team. She has a game schedule poster pinned to the wall in her living room and a framed photograph of James Naismith and her late husband on the end table. “I wouldn’t miss a game,� she said, smiling. “I used to go to the games, but, gosh, it got too loud for me.�

Staying engaged and active and maintaining close relationships with friends and family are important for a long life, Johnson said. “It seems that social connectedness enhances our immune system for some reason that we don’t understand fully,� Johnson said. “We are just happier people; we’re more satisfied with life.�

Topeka resident Betty Jane Moore, who turned 100 on Feb. 24, celebrated her birthday two weeks early so she could have dinner at her favorite restaurant, Pachamamas, before its recent closing. The family had made a Pachamamas dinner a birthday tradition for Moore starting with her 95th. Moore said she feels lucky to have a lot of family support as well as her health. “When I look in the mirror at myself I know my age, but I don’t feel my age,� she said.

Moore said she doesn’t put any restrictions on herself — she loves milk chocolate, white wine and real butter — and lives by the motto, “everything in moderation.�

To support themselves financially, many will need to work part time after the traditional retirement age, and employers need to accommodate that need, Watts said.

Eva Steffen, who turned 100 Jan. 29, listed about a dozen jobs she worked — from folding newspapers at the age of 13 in Belfast, N.Y., to cleaning, waitressing and retail jobs.

Even after she retired from Parsons and Kring Floor Covering, now Kring’s Interiors, at the age of 62, Steffen said she did some part-time jobs, “just to work.� She also likes organizing and running garage sales for others. Working, Steffen said, is one of the keys to her longevity. “Just living right and working hard,� she said. “I’ve done that. Lots of that.�

Attitudes and expectations about aging are important, but for centenarians, notions about what life will be like aren’t established, Watts said. “I think you have to figure out for yourself what life is going to be about, being in this unprecedented part of life that there isn’t really a lot of expectation

New urgent care slated for Sixth and Folks

I

Town Talk

t won’t be a fullfledged emergency room, but a deal has been struck to bring a major new medical provider to West Lawrence.

Oklahoma-based XpressWellness Urgent Care has signed a deal to build at Sixth Street and Folks Road.

Plans call for a nearly 4,300-square-foot building at the northwest corner of the intersection. The property is in front of the Meadowlark Estates retirement community, and is in the growing Bauer Farms development.

XpressWellness, which operates eight centers in Oklahoma, provides walk-in care for a variety of conditions that people sometimes turn to an emergency room for. Those include minor fractures, flu symptoms, ear infections, upper respiratory infections, bite or puncture wounds and some work-related injuries.

Urgent care centers have become a significant trend in the health care industry as emergency rooms and traditional doctors offices have

Matters group, said the system in San Antonio includes law enforcement officers who have received special training in mental health, a judicial system that has created diversion/ treatment programs for non-violent mentally ill defendants and a health care system that can provide the appropriate treatments.

“What we already have heard from leaders there is that the secret to making a system work is full investment and collaboration between all the key players in mental health, law enforcement and the judicial system,” MacConnell said. “Once you get the collaborative spirit going, that is when the program becomes effective.”

“Until insurance kicks in, that can be a real problem.”

Other common scenarios are that people involved in a natural disaster may not have lost their home, but the disaster destroyed their place of employment. That can create a financial hardship for people trying to make a mortgage or rent payment. Sometimes the situations are even more tragic. In 2013, the relief fund provided $50,000 in funding to the 19 families of firefighters who were killed in the line of duty while fighting wildfires in Arizona.

The relief fund works with local or state chapters of the National Association of Realtors to make sure the money gets to where it needs to go at a disaster site.

“We work with the local officials who really know the situation to define what help we can provide and what the application process will be,” McGrew said.

The relief fund got its start not after a natural disaster, but rather after the terrorist attacks of 2001.

“There was this over-

whelming patriotic response that we needed to do something,” McGrew said. “We didn’t know quite what to do, so we formed this foundation.

We granted almost $8.5 million in funds in four months.”

Since the organization was founded, the foundation has dispersed a little more than $24 million in funding, McGrew said.

McGrew said the group primarily focuses on natural disasters in the U.S., although it did provide funding following the earthquakes in Japan and the tsunami in Indonesia.

Closer to home, the group was active following the tornadoes in Greensburg and Joplin, Mo. McGrew is in his second year of a three-year term as treasurer for the National Association of Realtors, the largest real estate organization in the country. That position provides him an automatic seat on the relief board, but McGrew said he may seek a way to stay on the relief board even after his term as treasurer for the national association ends.

“It is one pretty cool board to be on,” McGrew said.

jail expansion project that could cost taxpayers $20 million or more.

“What we’re really hoping is that the community can think about a better way to provide mental health services,” said John McDermott, a pastor at Morning Star Church and co-president of the Justice Matters organization. “We know the economics of providing good mental health care are much more efficient than the costs of incarceration.”

Thus far, 11 city, county, health care, judicial and law enforcement officials have agreed to make the trip to San

“It has been a real learning experience about how bad things happen to good people, but the encouraging part is that there are an awful lot of good people willing to provide help,” said McGrew, chairman and CEO of Lawrence-based McGrew Real Estate.

McGrew is serving on the national board for the Realtor Relief Foundation. McGrew is part of the board, in part, because he serves as the treasurer for the National Association of Realtors.

The relief foundation raises funds from fellow Realtors and from other organizations and businesses that work with Realtors. The fund specializes in providing financial assistance to people who need help making mortgage or rent payments following a natural disaster.

“There are situations where your house may be gone but the mortgage remains,” McGrew said.

of Sixth and Folks Road.

We’ve also previously reported that Lawrence physician Stephanie Suber has opened Family Centered Medicine in a new building just east of the Wal-Mart near Sixth and Wakarusa.

I’m also keeping my eye out for at least one other health care-related development near the Sixth and Folks Road intersection. A vacant piece of ground just east of the Central Bank of the Midwest branch there has sold. I’m hearing word of a specialty dentist office, but I haven’t yet seen plans filed. I’ll check in with the players and report back.

“We definitely think it is a great corner for the business,” Rose said.

“And we’re planning on making this our showcase facility. It will be the nicest clinic we have built to date.” l l l

It is that time of year where the heart gets all warm at the thought of future dandelions in the yard and summer road construction detours.

laboration of 21 Lawrence congregations, has been studying mental health issues for several months, MacConnell said. The group worked throughout 2014 to come up with three community goals that it wanted to work toward. Improving mental health care, increasing the accessibility of affordable housing, and addressing childhood trauma were the issues the group chose.

In addition to the local leaders that have committed to the trip, MacConnell said six members of the Justice Matters group also will go to San Antonio.

MacConnell said the group also is hoping a judge from the Douglas County District Court will be able to make the trip.

I’ve got news on the latter. Motorists should expect a portion of Ninth Street to be completely closed for several days this summer.

A waterline replacement project near Ninth and Avalon will close that portion of Ninth Street to thru traffic while crews connect the new waterline to an existing waterline that runs through the middle of the Ninth Street intersection.

Current plans call for the street closure to begin on May 26 and last until June 7. Ninth Street will be closed to thru traffic from a point just west of Hilltop Drive and just east of Avalon Road. The official detour for the route essentially will be for motorists to take Sixth Street for their east-west travel. Expect some additional traffic on Maine Street as well, as motorists likely will use that street to exit Ninth and get to Sixth.

The city wants some public input on the idea.

The City Commission will be holding a public hearing on the project at its 5:45 p.m. March 31

commission meeting at City Hall.

In case you are wondering, the May 26 start date does avoid KU’s commencement ceremonies. Commencement is scheduled for May 17 this year. l l l

While we’re in the neighborhood, I’ve also got an update about some work that will be happening at Hillcrest Elementary School at 1045 Hilltop Drive. The school is set to have a shakeup in parking as part of a renovation and addition at the school.

The school district and the city have reached an agreement where the school will be allowed to use city-owned rightof-way along Hilltop Drive and Harvard Road to install new parking stalls. The plan calls for 30 parking spaces to built along Harvard Road in front of the school and 37 spaces to be built along Hilltop Drive.

Positive action A state regulatory group is taking action that may actually bring some relief to south-central Kansas residents.

C

ongratulations to the Kansas Corporation Commission for taking some action aimed at curbing earthquake activity in two south-central Kansas counties.

While researchers and legislators continue to debate whether the disposal of waste water from oil and gas drilling is related to increased earthquake activity in parts of Kansas, the KCC is taking a step that may help resolve that debate while also providing some relief to residents of the area.

Following a hearing in Wichita last week, the KCC ordered drilling companies to drastically reduce the amount of saltwater they pump into injection wells in five “areas of seismic concern” in Sumner and Harper counties. Within 10 days of the order, the operators must limit their water disposal in these wells to 16,000 barrels a day. That must be reduced to 12,000 barrels per day within 55 days and to 8,000 barrels a day within 100 days for a total reduction of up to 60 percent.

The injection wells that will be affected represent a small fraction of the active wells in the area known as the Arbuckle formation, according to the KCC, but the order targets wells that appear to be located near a geological fault line. The increased pressure of the injected waste water may be related to increased earthquake activity in the area.

This is not a small issue for residents of the area. Between 1977 and 2012, there were two earthquakes in Harper and Sumner counties that registered 2.0 or higher on the Richter scale. Since Jan. 1, 2013, there have been 159 such quakes. A resident of the area who testified at the Wichita hearing said he often feels small temblors in his home several times a day.

The KCC most often makes the news when it is considering requested rate increases from Kansas utilities, but last week’s order is a reminder that the agency plays a broad role in regulating Kansas utilities. Despite opposition from oil producers in the area, the KCC came down on the side of Kansas residents whose lives and property are being damaged and disrupted by the new earthquake activity and, for that, commissioners deserve a pat on the back.

Equal opportunity hard to achieve Washington — The rate of dog ownership is rising ominously. How can a profusion of puppies be worrisome? A report from the Raymond James financial services firm concerning trends in the housing market explains: Increasing numbers of women “are adopting dogs for security and/or companionship,” partly because of “the great education divide.”

Since 1979, the report says, the number of women going to college has accelerated relative to male enrollments. By 2012, there were 2.8 million more women than men in college, and by 2020 this “enrollment gap” is projected to grow to 4.4 million as women account for 74 percent of enrollment growth.

In 2000, the adult populations of college-educated men and women were approximately equal. By 2013, there were 4.9 million more women 25 or older with college degrees than men in that age group. This means a shortage of suitable male partners for a growing cohort of young women, who are postponing family formation. The report says millions of female-led households are being established by women who, being focused on their careers, are delaying motherhood, partly because of a shortage of suitable partners.

Two years ago, Susan Patton, a Princeton graduate and mother of two sons who attended Princeton, detonated multiple explosions in the culture wars when, in a letter to the Daily Princetonian, she told “the young women of Princeton” what “you really need to know that nobody is telling you.” Which is that their future happiness will be “inextricably linked” to the men they marry, so they should “find a husband on campus” because “you will never again have this concentration of men who are wor-

thy of you.” She explains: “Men regularly marry women who are younger, less intelligent, less educated. It’s amazing how forgiving men can be about a woman’s lack of erudition, if she is exceptionally pretty. Smart women can’t (shouldn’t) marry men who aren’t at least their intellectual equal. As Princeton women, we have almost priced ourselves out of the market. Simply put, there is a very limited population of men who are as smart or smarter than we are. ...

It will frustrate you to be with a man who just isn’t as smart as you.”

Patton’s brassy indifference to delicacy served the serious purpose of riveting attention on what social scientists call “assortative mating.” Plainly put, America has always aspired to be a meritocracy in which careers are open to talents, and status is earned rather than inherited. But the more merit matters to upward mobility, the more inequality becomes entrenched in a stratified society.

Those favored by genetics, and by family acculturation the acquired social capital (the habits and dispositions necessary for taking advantage of opportunities), tend to go to school and then to work together.

And they marry one another, concentrating advantages in their children.

Hence today’s interest in what is called “privilege theory,” which takes a dark view of the old couplet, “All men are by nature equal,

but differ greatly in the sequel.” The theory leaps from the obvious to the dubious.

Obviously some people are born with, and into, advantages, congenital and social.

What is dubious is the conclusion that government has the capacity and duty to calibrate, redistribute and equalize advantages.

Joy Pullmann, writing at The Federalist, a conservative website of which she is managing editor, notes something else obvious: This agenda is incompatible with freedom.

Furthermore, although some individuals have advantages they did not earn, “very often someone else did earn them” — by, for example, nurturing children in a stable family. It is hardly an injustice — an invidious privilege — for nurturing parents to be able to confer on their children the advantages of conscientiousness. The ability to do so, says Pullmann, is a powerful motivation for noble behavior that, by enlarging society’s stock of parental “hard work, self-control and sacrifice,” produces “positive spillover effects for everyone else.”

Enhancing equality of opportunity is increasingly urgent and increasingly difficult in an increasingly complex, information-intensive society. The delicate task is to do so without damaging freedom and the incentives for using freedom for individual striving, which is the privilege — actually, the natural right — that matters most.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 23, 1915: “The directors of the Country Club will meet Thursyears day evening to transact route ago business. The groundskeeper IN 1915 at the club reports that the club grounds are now in good condition with the exception of one or two places which are still damp. The dead brush has been removed and the dead limbs pruned from the trees around the house. The roadway has also been put in good shape. A number of the members are already hearing the call of golf and several matches are planned for this evening.”

China drifting away from reform

By Carl Minzner Los Angeles Times

Beijing increasingly appears to be walling China off from the outside world, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Take civil society. China’s national legislature is considering a bill that would further restrict the operations of foreign non-governmental organizations, deepening the bitter chill that has descended on the operations of domestic and foreign nonprofits over the last year. Or look at the Internet. State authorities once confined themselves to censoring dissident voices. Now they are disrupting technologies such as virtual private networks that China’s tech gurus and foreign companies rely on to access commercial sites abroad and to scale the so-called Great Firewall, which blocks sites the government doesn’t want people to see. Higher education is another example. Universities that once thought themselves exempt from official pressure now are accused of facilitating the nefarious infiltration of “Western values” and are forced to fend off calls to ban or amend textbooks.

China is steadily drifting away from the reform path set in the late 1970s.

Then, Deng Xiaoping opened China to the world, encouraging citizens to seek knowledge abroad. Today, Chinese leaders increasingly call for it to return to its own past.

But what period do they want to return to?

Historically, China’s most glorious eras have been its most open ones.

During the cosmopolitan Tang (618907 AD) and Song (960-1279 AD) dynasties, central Asian traders flocked to the imperial capital, Arab merchants to eastern seaports. China grew wealthy from

WASHINGTON Yemen’s descent into possible civil war this weekend highlights a growing and lethal sectarian struggle in the Middle East that pits Iran and its Shiite allies against rival Sunni regimes and militant groups.

Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, seized Yemen’s third-largest city, Taiz, and its airport on Sunday, a day after American troops left the impoverished country that is crucial to the U.S. drone program. On Friday, Sunni extremists claimed responsibility for the horrific bombing of two mosques that killed 137 people during Friday prayers.

The conflict in Yemen, as in Syria and Iraq, is rooted in the centuries-long animosity between the two branches of Islam.

The Houthi rebels are Shiites

from northern Yemen. They seized the Yemeni capital of Sanaa in September and now control large swaths of the country, which has a Sunni majority.

Sunni extremists, such as alQaeda and the Islamic State, are increasingly emerging as champions of beleaguered Sunnis in the Shiite-dominated countries.

“Regardless of who attacked the mosques, al-Qaeda’s influence and support is expanding dramatically in Yemen” as sectarian tensions grow, said Abdulkader Sinno, an Indiana University professor.

Friday’s attacks on the mosques appeared to have targeted Shiite worshipers to fan sectarian flames. A group claiming to be a Yemeni branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility.

Similar violence exploded in Iraq in 2006, when al-Qaeda blew up a Shiite mosque in Samarra.

The attack touched off waves of Sunni-Shiite violence.

Matthew Levitt, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the sectarian conflicts in the Middle East are more intractable and complex than conventional wars between nations because of the religious passions and ancient hatreds.

The sectarian conflicts in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and elsewhere are part of a broader struggle between powerful Sunni regimes, such as Saudi Arabia, and Iran, the region’s Shiite powerhouse.

“It makes things more complicated and nastier,” Levitt said.

“These are no longer self-contained conflicts.”

Ted Cruz will announce Monday that he will seek the presidency, launching a campaign that aims to energize the party’s Tea Party and socially conservative wings.

Cruz’s plans were confirmed Sunday by two senior advisers with direct knowledge of his plans, who requested anonymity because an official announcement had not yet been made.

The Texas Republican will be the first candidate to officially declare a 2016 run for the White House, though several more are likely to be close behind him.

IMAGES Sen. Rand Sen.AFP/GETTY Ted Cruz Paul, R-Ky., is expected to announce on April 7.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and other potential candidates have taken preliminary steps towards campaigns.

On the Democratic side, former secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is also expected to launch a campaign soon.

Cruz is set to announce his intentions in a speech at Liberty University, which bills itself as the world’s largest Christian university. The Houston Chronicle was the first to report Cruz’s announcement.

Cruz, 44, is just starting the third year of his first Senate term.

He is an undisputed leader of the Tea Party movement, known for his brash, uncompromising style and conservative beliefs that target both President Obama as well as his fellow Republicans.

He repeatedly criticizes the “mushy middle” — as reflected by the GOP’s last two presidential nominees Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain — and denounces his fellow Republicans for failing to make bold distinctions with Democrats. “It’s a failed electoral strategy,” Cruz has said.

Perhaps more than any other potential candidate, Cruz has urged a more aggressive path for Republicans. He has criticized his party leadership for not taking on Obama over health care and immigration and has urged the party faithful to “demand action, not talk” from their elected officials — including fellow Republicans.

Motives of New Orleans airport slasher still unknown Officials say attacker had mental problems Marisol Bello @Marisol_Bello USA TODAY

Authorities say a machetewielding attacker who died after he was shot when he charged though a security line at New Orleans’ airport had a history of mental health problems, but the rampage has left officials with more questions than answers.

They are trying to piece together why Richard White, 63,

went on a rampage in Concourse B at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Friday night.

Sheriff Newell Normand in the New Orleans suburb of Jefferson Parish said a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed White, stopping an attack among unarmed TSA agents and frightened travelers. There were no other major injuries.

“Fortunately, he didn’t seriously injure anybody,” Normand said at a news conference Saturday at the airport.

Normand said the situation could have been much worse.

“You know, sometimes, the saying: You’d rather be lucky than

good — I think we were both last night to the nth degree,” he said Saturday.

He says investigators are trying to determine the nature and extent of White’s mental health problems. White’s family, cooperating with authorities, confirmed to investigators that he had a mental illness, Normand said,

adding that investigators continue to learn more about his condition.

He said White was a Jehovah’s Witness and his family refused some medical treatment because of their religious beliefs.

White charged through a security screening line Friday night with a can of wasp killer that he used to spray agents and passengers who were standing in line.

Then he drew a large machete from his waistband and began swinging.

A male TSA agent blocked the machete with luggage as White ran through a metal detector, chased by agent Carol Richel.

White ran in the direction of Sherriff’s Deputy Lt. Heather Slyve. She drew her weapon, and White continued to swing the machete as Slyve approached.

Normand said she fired three rounds, striking White in the face, chest and leg.

Richel was hit in the arm by one of the rounds, but credited Slyve with saving her life. She said the attack was sudden and unexpected.

“The man was swinging very hard,” Richel said. “I didn’t hear him say anything.”

City monikers have lost their meaning Rick Hampson USA TODAY

HOLYOKE , MASS .

Most of the paper mills are gone, but my hometown is still the Paper City.

The nickname lingers mostly in commerce — Paper City Deli, Paper City Music Shop, Paper City Brewery — in faded signs painted on old brick buildings; in the memory of a place that took its identity from what it made.

It’s that way wherever past manufacturing prowess is commemorated by anachronistic municipal nicknames, from the Whip City (Westfield, Mass.) to the Plow Capital of the World (Moline, Ill.).

As many people are out of work or working without a raise, these nicknames evoke a time when almost anyone who wanted a decent job could get one.

In Holyoke, we were proud that the Paper City once produced more than 200 tons a day of fine writing paper — about half the nation’s supply, including Tiffany’s. We learned about paper making in grade school; when we went away to college, we wrote our exam

NEALE HAYNES FOR USA TODAY

About 2,000 people, many wearing historical costumes, paid their respects to the remains of King Richard III on Sunday in Bosworth, England. He will be formally laid to rest Thursday.

Around 2,000 people, many wearing period costumes and participating in historical reenactments, were at Bosworth on Sunday to pay their respects to what’s left of Richard III. Chief among them was Michael Ibsen, a 17th generation nephew of the king whose DNA was a crucial link in helping prove the identity of the long-dead monarch.

Ibsen, a Canadian cabinetmaker living in London, hand-carved his distant relative’s oak coffin and was among a small group of people who placed white roses on it during a short ceremony.

“When I was sitting on the platform at the university, and the coffin was right there, I was thinking: ‘How on earth did I come to be sitting just a few feet away from the coffin of Richard III, having made it myself.’ It’s just been amazing,” Ibsen said.

Richard III will be formally laid to rest on Thursday at Leicester Cathedral, in an elabo-

rate ceremony attended by members of the royal family and other dignitaries. It will be the first ceremonial burial of a British monarch since 1952.

Richard III was effectively lost to history until a few years ago, when researchers discovered he was actually buried under a parking lot in central Leicester, a city of about 800,000 people north of London.

The king was dramatized by William Shakespeare in his play Richard III as a child killer with a hunched back, but that portrayal is now challenged by many historians who argue he was a good king whose reputation was unfairly tarnished.

For years archaeologists suspected that Richard III had been hastily buried in a nearby church, but Henry VIII had ordered the demolition of the Greyfriars Friary in 1538 and over the centuries the land had been redeveloped and built over many times.

The Islamic State group has reportedly posted the names, photos and home addresses of 100 American troops, urging sympathizers inside the U.S. to carry out attacks against them.

A group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division posted the threat on a website Friday night, stating that the troops identified carried out bombings on Islamic State targets in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.

The group called on the troops to be killed “in their own lands” as they “walk their own streets thinking they are safe,” according to the Daily News. The list reportedly includes photos and personal data on Marines, sailors and airmen, many of whom are pilots.

The Defense Department has not yet confirmed the validity of the threat but is “looking into it,” spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said.

Lt. Col. John Caldwell, a Marine spokesman at the Pentagon, also called the threat “unverified,” but said command leaders have been notified if Marines assigned to their units were on the list.

Federal law enforcement authorities with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service are also

IN BRIEF FOUNDER OF MODERN SINGAPORE IS DEAD AT 91

Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of modern Singapore who guided its development into a modern, stable nation as well as one of the world’s richest, has died, the government announced.

Lee, 91, had been hospitalized since Feb. 5 for pneumonia and recently had been on life support.

He “passed away peacefully,” the prime minister’s office said.

Lee led Singapore from 1959 to 1990 and remained a member of parliament after leaving the office of prime minister. His son, Lee Hsien Loong, is Singapore’s third and current prime minster.

Singapore became a major player in global shipping with its strategic location.

Under Lee, Singapore also became known for the government’s authoritarian rule, strict law enforcement and limits on public protests. The government justified the tactics as necessary to remain stable and independent given its location surrounded by the large Islamic nations of Malaysia and Indonesia.

Funeral plans were incomplete.

It’s not every day that the medieval skeleton of a long lost king is taken on a tour of the English countryside.

It happened Sunday for King Richard III, whose bones were found under a parking lot three years ago.

Even though it’s been 530 years since his death, the king’s remains were transported in a lead-lined coffin from the University of Leicester, near where he was discovered by archaeologists in 2012, to the field where he died in this heartlands county.

The casket’s public route past lush green pasture and stone walls was intended to mirror his last days before he was killed in 1485 fighting Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth.

This marked the start of a week of events related to the reburial of Richard III, the last English king to die on a battlefield.

His death heralded the end of the War of the Roses — a particularly troubled and gruesome period of English history that saw the royal houses of Lancaster and York wage numerous bloody battles in their quest for the throne.

California tech towns such as Cupertino (with Apple) and Mountain View (Google) don’t have nicknames. They don’t have to; they’re in a place with one of the most famous nicknames of all – Silicon Valley, named for the element in electronic semiconductors.

Elsewhere, the challenge is to replace buggy whips with new products and services. The Whip City’s downtown stores cater to students at Westfield State University. Peabody, Mass. — the Leather City, whose high school teams are still called the Tanners — looks to the Northshore Mall for tax revenue. In Holyoke, the water power that once served Holyoke’s mills has attracted the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center, which houses supercomputers for research.

Context tempers enthusiasm: In 1893, 20 Holyoke paper mills employed 3,260 people. The computing center, which cost $165 million and occupies as much space as several paper mills, employs 16.

There’s still plenty about U.S. manufacturing of which to be proud. The problem is that fewer places are able to share that pride.

though its greatest furniture maker closed down in 1979.

An old nickname says a lot about a city. For instance, if you know that Paterson, N.J., is (or was) the Silk City, you understand why its City Hall is modeled on the one in Lyon, the center of silkmaking in France.

Some cities transcend themselves. Tampa, the Cigar City, is doing fine even though its Ybor City district is down to its last cigar factory. Brockton, Mass., the erstwhile Shoe City, has rebranded itself the City of Champions, a reference to native son boxers Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler.

Given foreign competition, Greenville, S.C., could never have remained Textile Capital of the World. Instead, the metropolitan area attracted foreign companies’ U.S. headquarters, automotive research facilities and Caterpillar and General Electric plants.

Some industrial towns still live up to their nicknames. Dalton, Ga., is the Carpet Capital of the World, despite the Great Recession. Albertville, Ala., is the Fire Hydrant Capital of the World; it has a gleaming chrome-plated one outside the Chamber of Commerce to prove it.

“NCIS is conducting in-person notifications to the affected Navy and Marine personnel regarding this presently unverified threat/ data breach,” Caldwell said.

An unnamed Defense Department official told The New York Times the personal data released on the Marines, sailors and airmen appears to be information found in public records or online searches. It doesn’t appear the information had been hacked from government servers, the Times reported.

Lainez and Caldwell both stressed that troops and their families should be mindful of personal information they post online.

“It is recommended Marines and family members check their online/social footprint, ensuring privacy settings are adjusted to limit the amount of available personal information,” Caldwell said.

“Vigilance and force protection considerations remain a priority for commanders and their personnel worldwide.”

GEORGE WALKER IV, THE (NASHVILLE) TENNESSEAN

The Nashville Police Department wants the state Legislature to change a law that bars non-citizens from becoming officers.

Some non-citizens can now wear badge Many states allowing legal immigrants to become law officers Alan Gomez USA TODAY

Law enforcement agencies struggling to fill their ranks or connect with their increasingly diverse populations are turning to immigrants to fill the gap.

Most agencies in the country require officers or deputies to be U.S. citizens, but some are allowing immigrants who are legally in the country to wear the badge.

From Hawaii to Vermont, agencies are allowing green-card holders and legal immigrants with work permits to join their ranks.

At a time when 25,000 nonU.S. citizens are serving in the military, some think it’s time for more police and sheriff departments to do the same.

That’s why the Nashville Police Department is joining other departments to push the state Legislature to change a law that bars non-citizens from becoming law enforcement officers. Spokesman Don Aaron said the department wants immigrants who have been honorably discharged from the

“Persons who have given of themselves in the service to this country potentially have much to offer Tennesseans.”

Don Aaron, Nashville Police Department spokesman

military to be eligible for service.

“Persons who have given of themselves in the service to this country potentially have much to offer Tennesseans,” he said. “We feel that ... would benefit both the country and this city.”

Current rules vary across departments.

Some, like the Chicago and Hawaii police departments, allow any immigrant with a work authorization from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to become an officer. That means people in the country on temporary visas or are applying for green cards can join.

Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Jus-

tin Mullins said the department usually struggles to fill trooper positions in less populous corners of the state, including patrol sectors high up in the mountains.

He said immigrants from Canada, the Bahamas, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Central America who are willing to live in those remote places have helped the agency fill those vacancies.

“People that want to live there and build a family there and work there is a little more difficult to find,” Mullins said. “People moving from out of state, or out of the country, if they’re willing to work in these areas, then that’s great for us.”

Other agencies, like the Cincinnati Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, require that officers at least have a pending citizenship application on file with the federal government.

And others, like the Burlington, Vt., and Boulder, Colo., police departments, require that officers be legal permanent residents, or green-card holders.

With more immigrants moving to places far from the southern border or away from traditional immigrant magnets like New York City or Miami, agency leaders say it’s important to have a more diverse police force to com-

municate with those immigrants and understand their culture.

Bruce Bovat, deputy chief of operations in Burlington, said the immigrant officers help the agency be more “reflective of the community we serve.”

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said he has no problems with green-card holders becoming police officers, because they’ve made a long-term commitment to the country and have undergone extensive background checks. But he worries about the security risks associated with allowing any immigrant with a work permit to become an officer, especially considering that the Obama administration has given hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants work permits.

“We’re handing over a gun and a badge to somebody whose background we don’t really know a lot about,” Krikorian said.

Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, said any immigrant authorized to work in the U.S. has already undergone a thorough background check and will undergo even more screening in the police application process.

“The security risk is a straw man,” he said.

States boost access to overdose drug Naloxone, a heroin antidote that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, is becoming more widely available in many states.

Laura Ungar

Special for USA TODAY

With drug overdoses skyrocketing across the USA, more states are expanding access to a fastacting rescue drug called naloxone, which can revive a dying addict in minutes.

But while these new laws have broad support in the public health community, some doctors and drug-treatment professionals say they are just Band-Aids for an overwhelming addiction problem requiring a much broader solution.

Thirty states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws or developed pilot programs to widen access to naloxone, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. These include Minnesota, where a law passed last year allows doctors to prescribe the drug to families and friends of opioid abusers so they can save the lives of loved ones.

Minnesota’s legislation was authored by state Sen. Chris Eaton, whose 23-year-old daughter died of a heroin overdose in 2007 after shooting up in a car parked outside a Burger King. Eaton says Ariel Eaton-Willson might be alive today if someone had immediately injected her with the opioid antidote.

“By the time the ambulance got to the scene with naloxone,” Eaton says, “it was too late.” She says her personal tragedy reflects a national epidemic, and she supports efforts by states with nalox-

“This is a strategy that’s sweeping the nation. It’s a proven way to save lives.”

Ariel Eaton-Willson, daughter of Minnesota Sen. Chris Eaton, died of an overdose. one laws already on the books to expand access further.

Ohio, for one, began with a yearlong pilot program in a single county that allowed trained emergency responders to use naloxone.

Then it passed a law last year allowing medical professionals to distribute the drug to the families and friends of addicts, to use it on overdose victims without fear of prosecution.

Kentucky lawmakers are considering whether to allow doctors to prescribe the drug not only to

addicts, as under current law, but to family, friends, police and firefighters.

“This is a strategy that’s sweeping the nation,” says Van Ingram, executive director of the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy. “It’s a proven way to save lives.”

Overdose deaths have increased more than sixfold in the past three decades, according to the Network for Public Health Law. Government figures show they now claim the lives of about 120 people each day in the United States.

Overdoses were the leading cause of injury-related deaths in

2012, killing more 25- to 64-yearolds than car crashes.

Opioids, which include heroin and prescription drugs such as oxycodone, kill by depressing respiration until breathing stops.

Naloxone reverses this. Eric Fulcher, an emergency room physician at Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital in Louisville says the drug knocks opioid chemicals off the brain’s receptors, reviving patients almost instantly. He likens it to an epinephrine injector, which can stop an allergic reaction.

Fulcher says he generally supports giving greater access to naloxone, which at one point his ER administered so often doctors felt like they were running a drivethrough OD clinic. But he says new laws “totally ignore” the overall problem of addiction and may communicate an underlying acceptance of intravenous heroin use.

Karyn Hascal, president of a Louisville recovery center called The Healing Place, says she would love to see all first responders gain easy access to naloxone.

But she worries allowing family and friends to have it may give addicts a false sense of security, making them think they can keep shooting up opioids because the medication will revive them if they overdose.

“We’ve had a number of people here who have been revived several times by naloxone,” which may show they viewed it as a sort of safety net, she says.

The 20-year-old black University of Virginia student bloodied by alcohol-control officers outside a bar last week was denied entry after a “polite and cordial” conversation because he named the wrong ZIP code for the address on the Illinois license he presented, the pub says.

The state police and Alcoholic Beverage Control officials are investigating the arrest of Martese Johnson, which triggered campus protests and allegations of racial profiling and police brutality.

Johnson “did not appear to be intoxicated in the least” and simply walked off after being turned away, the Trinity Irish Pub said in a statement released Saturday night. It called reports that bar staff were “belligerent” toward Johnson or that he was belligerent to management “patently untrue.”

A Breathalyzer test showed Johnson was not intoxicated.

The statement also said the Charlottesville bar and restaurant “does not nor has it ever discriminated on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin,” which is illegal.

Pub called reports ... that Johnson was belligerent to management “patently untrue.”

Johnson, a third-year honors student who serves as leadership development chairman for the university’s Black Student Alliance, was charged with obstruction of justice without force and public intoxication or swearing.

He needed 10 stitches to close a gash in his head.

In its version of events, the pub said co-owner Kevin Badke was at the door just after midnight Wednesday to monitor the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and be sure underage drinkers did not enter. He said the ABC had alerted the bar beforehand that it would be watched closely because “they were Irish.”

Until 10 p.m., the pub admits patrons of all ages. After that, “under no circumstances do we allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter the establishment,” the statement said.

Johnson had been in line to enter around 12:30 a.m., and Badke, who is from the south side of Chicago, was at the door helping check identifications. Badke asked Johnson for his ZIP code, a key question used to catch fake IDs. Johnson’s answer didn’t match the 2011 Illinois license he presented, and “probably realizing the reason for the error, stated that he had moved,” the statement said.

After a brief “cordial and respectful” conversation, Badke said he couldn’t let Johnson in and handed him back his ID. “He was just disappointed he didn’t get in. He was just acting like a normal college kid,” Badke said in a interview. “It was very cordial. I actually asked him what high school he went to.”

Moments after Johnson walked away, video shows three uniformed ABC special agents confronting him.

While showing them his Illinois ID, he is grabbed by the neck and pushed face down onto the brick sidewalk just steps from the Trinity entrance.

Johnson can be heard yelling that he was a U.Va. student.

The arresting officers have been reassigned to administrative duties during the investigation, which Gov. Terry McAuliffe is monitoring.

The incident went viral Wednesday afternoon on Twitter and other social media with scores of postings to #MarteseJohnson and #BlackLivesMatter.

More gas stations eye beer on tap Joel Aschbrenner USA TODAY

Move over slushy machines. Gas stations and convenience stores are making room for a more adult beverage dispenser.

Draft beer taps where customers can have 64-ounce growlers filled with beer to go have been installed in dozens of gas stations, grocery stores and other retailers around the USA. About 35 states allow retailers to sell the refillable, halfgallon glass jugs known as growlers, according to the Brewers Association, a national trade group, and several states, including Florida, Iowa and Missouri are considering laws to allow the practice.

“It’s definitely becoming more popular,” said Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association. “The American public wants to be able to control their experience. They want to be able to take their beer home and pour as much or little as they want.”

Some brewers, though, are skeptical about putting their beer on tap in gas stations and corner stores, and wholesalers have voiced opposition to growler-friendly laws, which they say undermine tested alcohol distribution systems.

Still, retailers are eager to tap into the nation’s growing thirst for craft beer.

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2015

Fewer worries after Fed’s announcement Adam Shell USA TODAY

Wall Street looks like it’s planning a spring breakout.

The Dow soared 168.82 points, or 0.94%, Friday. The Nasdaq is 22.3 points away from its all-time record close of 5048.62 from March 2000. And the small-company Russell 2000 is well into record territory.

Driving the resurgence on Wall Street is a diminution of worries

that have plagued markets this month. “The market is relaxing over concerns regarding the Fed, as they are more comfortable with the Fed’s (expected) reduction in the pace of interest rate increases, and the related effect of the slowing pace of the dollar’s rise,” says Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management.

Three fears that have become less scary this week: uRate fears diminish. A super-strong February jobs report sparked fears that the Fed could start raising rates as early as June. But those worries subsided Wednesday when Federal Re-

serve chair Janet Yellen said that just because the Fed dropped its plea to be “patient” when it comes to raising rates, it doesn’t mean it will be “impatient” and move to raise rates too soon.

The upside: It confirmed Wall Street’s belief that the Fed still prefers to keep rates lower for longer to make sure the employment picture continues to brighten and inflation moves back toward its preferred 2% level. uDollar drama declines.

The Fed’s reluctance to push up rates sooner rather than later has cooled the red-hot dollar. The euro fell to a 12-year low of $1.048 last Monday but rebounded to

$1.082 Sunday, a 3.2% rally.

A slight weakening of the dollar, says Gary Kaltbaum of Kaltbaum Capital Management, will help lift U.S. multinationals that have been suffering because of the soaring dollar. uInvestor exodus from stocks doesn’t materialize.

Despite heightened market volatility — including Dow closing point moves of 100 points or more nine out of the past 10 sessions — investors haven’t fled the market. Instead, they have been committing tons of fresh cash to stocks. According to Bank of America, there was a “massive $20 billion (of ) inflows to equity

funds in the lead-up to Wednesday’s March Fed meeting, the largest weekly equity inflows of 2015.”

Bank of America added that U.S. equity funds saw their first inflows ($14 billion) in five weeks.

Still, for the spring breakout to continue, a few things need to fall into place, says Mark Litzerman co-head of global real asset strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

“While we remain positive on U.S. equities, (for a sustainable) spring breakout we would likely first have to see some signs of improvement from the recent weaker economic numbers,” he says.

For the first time, the number of Uber cars on the streets of New York City exceeds the number of taxis.

Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

New York City’s taxi industry is gearing up to propose a cap on for-hire vehicles as the number of Uber cars outpaces yellow taxis for the first time.

The proposed cap, which is still being drafted, seeks to halt the growth of this market, which are like cabs except they cannot take street hails, until city officials can study the impact it’s having on traffic, parking and pollution, said Tweeps Phillips, executive director of Committee for Taxi Safety, an industry group.

The planned cap comes on the heels of new data showing that Uber cars outnumbered yellow taxis in New York City for the first time. There are 14,088 cars, including luxury SUVs, affiliated with Uber in the city’s five boroughs, compared with 13,587 yellow cabs, according to the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).

“It’s remarkable that this one company is able to put vehicles on the road willy-nilly without anyone saying what this means for traffic conditions or parking or the environment,” Phillips said. “It’s like the city fell asleep.”

“The facts clearly show that Uber is changing New York City’s transportation ecosystem for the better,” countered Matthew Wing, Uber’s head of communications for the Northeastern states.

Wing pointed to Uber drivers in the outer boroughs “where taxis don’t go,” as well as Uber Pool, which encourages carpooling.

“It is not surprising that the taxi industry would try to stop this progress and any effort to offer more drivers better earning opportunities,” Wing said.

Uber, which matches riders with drivers through a mobile app, is accustomed to taxis around the globe seeking to stymie its growth, which has been aided in some cases by fewer regulatory barriers.

But the call to measure the impact its growth may be having on cities and their residents could resonate among a wider swath of people, including environmentalists — and potentially spread to other cities.

Paul White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, a non-profit that advocates decreasing private car use.

“The bottom line here is, more research is needed on this,” said Susan Shaheen, a transportation expert with the University of California-Berkeley, who published a paper examining the impact of Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing companies on transportation in the San Francisco area. Shaheen’s study found that companies like Uber and Lyft carried slightly more passengers per ride than taxis. But such services also had no visible reduction on private car ownership.

Since its launch in 2009, Uber has expanded to 55 countries, including 160,000 drivers in the United States. Earlier this month, Uber vowed to create 1 million jobs for women drivers by 2020, suggesting that it has no plans to slow its breakneck pace.

The number of yellow cabs in NYC, by contrast, is severely capped — thanks to legislation passed by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1937. Since that time, the city has increased the number of yellow cabs, also known as medallion cabs, by a mere 1,800.

Of course, yellow cabs still dominate when it comes to number of rides and time on the road.

The TLC said there are about 440,000 yellow cab rides a day, compared with 20,000 to 30,000 Uber rides. Indeed, a recent study

by Uber shows that 51% of its drivers work 15 hours or fewer per week.

Still, some Uber drivers support a cap on the number of cars allowed on the road because of concerns that its growth has dampened their earnings.

“It’s crazy now to make a living,” said Jesus Garay, who quit Uber a few weeks ago because he was having a tough time making money like he did before Uber became so popular. “There’s an influx of so many drivers flooding into Manhattan,” he said.

Garay’s concerns echo complaints that led to a cap on taxis in 1937. After the Great Depression, a flood of unemployed people took up driving taxis in hopes of making some extra cash, which led to violent protests and demands for increased regulation.

Star ratings yield galaxy of confusion

‘Opaque’ rooms on Hotwire, Priceline Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

For David Pollard, the “aha” moment came after he booked a hotel room in Los Angeles through Hotwire.

Hotwire and its competitor, Priceline, offer so-called “opaque” rooms, which is to say you don’t find out the name or exact location of the property until after you’ve made a nonrefundable reservation. Instead, you’re given the hotel’s anonymous star rating. And the hotel he’d booked, the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport, had 4 stars.

“We’d previously stayed in 3star hotels and I was looking forward to experiencing a 4star,” says Pollard of Mineola, Texas. “Big disappointment.”

The hotel turned out to be more of a 3-star experience, with one difference: It cost almost twice as much. Pollard stopped trusting the stars.

Star ratings can be slippery.

New research by HotelDealsRevealed.com, a site that collects hotel information from Priceline and Hotwire users, found that two out of three hotels receive the same rating on both sites. Yet Hotwire gives hotels a higher rating 27% of the time.

“In other words, one in every four hotels on Hotwire is rated higher than the same hotel on Priceline,” says Randy Greencorn, editor of HotelDealsRevealed.com. “The discrepancy in ratings is typically half a star.”

Indeed, the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport has a 4-star rating on Hotwire and a 31⁄2-star rating on Priceline.

Hotwire consistently gives higher ratings across all hotel classes, the study found. But one category is a standout: the 41⁄2-star rating. Of the 1,224 hotels it reviewed, 49 received a 41⁄2-star rating on Hotwire, yet 82% of those hotels only got a 4star rating on Priceline.

Both companies say we shouldn’t read too much into this data. But if you’re looking for a deal on a hotel room, there are a few valuable takeaways that could make your next vacation a little more hassle-free.

Priceline says the findings reflect its own ratings philosophy, which can be summed up in one word: conservative. The online agency uses customer feedback and its own research to come up with each hotel’s star rating. Reviews are compiled by a person called a market manager who is in charge of either a geographic area or a hotel brand. When customers complain about a hotel rating, these market managers can adjust a rating — and they often do.

Hotwire says its internal numbers disagree with the findings, particularly when it comes to its 41⁄2-star hotels.

“Our team found that in the past six months, 85% of our hotels with a 41⁄2-star rating have a recommended score higher than 80%,” Hotwire spokeswoman Carrie Peters. “These are recommendations directly from Hotwire customers.”

SLEEP INN

Helping guests get a good night’s rest Hotels adding special lighting, plush mattresses and aromatherapy Charisse Jones USA TODAY

For corporate trekkers, making it to the hotel is only half the battle. All the preparation in the world may be no good if you’re exhausted for your big presentation the next day.

So a growing number of hotel properties and brands are rolling out features to help business travelers and other guests get a better night’s sleep, from special lighting and plush mattresses to aromatherapy and guided meditations.

The hotel industry is “in the business of providing a safe and comfortable place for people to rest, so sleep should always be on the top of the agenda for operators,” says Jan Freitag of STR, a hotel research firm. “Business travelers ... need to be ready to go in the morning, and anything that enhances that sleep experience for them to be more productive is worth exploring.”

Freitag says the better-rest trend kicked off with Westin Hotels and Resorts’ luxe “Heavenly Bed,” which debuted in 1999 and is in more than 200 hotels across the globe. Other sleep-related features and designs that have followed not only fit into a larger trend to make hotel stays a healthier experience but also potentially give a hotel brand a way to stand out from the crowd.

The Stay Well hotel program, available at the MGM Grand and Casino in Las Vegas, incorporates numerous sleep-nurturing features. Special lamps simulate the sunrise, gently prodding a guest awake without the blare of an

alarm clock. Reddish-hued lights illuminate a midnight run to the bathroom without a bright jolt.

Blackout shades allow a tired traveler to doze in total darkness.

There’s even a guided meditation led by Deepak Chopra to help guests drift off.

“There are definitely a number of separate features that when combined really ... allow guests to fall asleep easier and get up rested,” says Paul Scialla, founder of Delos, which developed the Stay Well program. And it’s not just a matter of sleep, “but how they perform the next day.”

guests.

“Those are little things,” Smith says, “but you have to think about all those areas to make sure you’re continuing to deliver on the expectations.”

IHG’s EVEN Hotels brand was designed with relaxation, along with energy boosting, in mind.

Rooms have specific relaxation, work and workout zones. Beds are outfitted with eucalyptus linens that help guests stay cool, and there are white-noise offerings available through an IHG mobile app to help guests snooze.

A new design concept for Holiday Inn Express, another IHG brand, includes specially designed headboards that limit noise between rooms, and it’s try-

“Anything that enhances that sleep experience for (business travelers) to be more productive is worth exploring.” Jan Freitag, STR Sleep Inn, a Choice Hotels brand, aims to make good on its name with a design concept that revolves around the tagline “dream better here.”

“Making sure our guest feels relaxed and well rested” is the focus of the initiative, says Anne Smith, vice president of brand strategy for Choice Hotels. “Sleep is something everyone does, and everyone wants to do, at a hotel, so how do we kick it up a level?”

Sleep Inn hotels are incorporating plush bedding and pillows along with a subdued color scheme. To reduce noise, elevators are at the end, rather than in the middle, of hallways. TVs are mounted on a media board specially designed to keep the sound from disturbing neighboring

ing out a sliding door that will limit noise between the bed and bathroom.

Whether or not a hotel has tailored, sleep-boosting offerings, many of USA TODAY’s panel of road warriors have ways of their own to eke out a good night’s sleep. They range from setting the thermostat to the most comfortable temperature to trying to secure a hotel room that doesn’t have anyone staying next door.

“I start with the right room selection,” says David Raines, a sales manager in Fort Wayne, Ind., who prefers a space on the top floor, far from the elevator or ice machine. “Then if the room is still too noisy, I use my iPhone with a white noise app. Works for me every time.”

Hotwire’s reviews are generated in a way similar way to Priceline’s, except that they’re based on parent company Expedia’s ratings. Peters says Hotwire makes “adjustments” to the stars based on post-stay surveys by their customers.

It would be easy to jump to the conclusion that Hotwire’s generosity translates into higher profits. But the company denies that’s the case. It points to its hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers and a system it says is responsive to their feedback.

“We work very hard to ensure that our star ratings are as accurate as possible in an effort to drive customer satisfaction,”

HOW TO GET THE BEST ‘OPAQUE’ DEAL uUse a meta-search site to get a price range. Sites like Google Hotel Finder and Kayak can help you find the price range for a hotel so you don’t overbid on an opaque room. uGet the inside information.

Sites like HotelDealsRevealed.com or online forums such as Betterbidding.com can help you discover what other guests are bidding, eliminating some of the guesswork. Often, you can deduce the hotel you’re bidding on before you click “buy.” uFight the stars. If you feel your property is overrated, don’t wait until you check in. Report the discrepancy to the booking site. Don’t forget to supply written proof that other sites give the hotel fewer stars.

she adds.

The stars can change, as they did for Cathy Duffy after she booked a hotel in Rome through Hotwire.

When she discovered the property and started reading the reviews, she concluded it didn’t deserve the 31⁄2-star rating Hotwire had given it.

“According to TripAdvisor, approximately half of the people that stayed at the hotel rated it as poor to terrible,” says Duffy, from Racine, Wis. “I was mortified by the reviews.”

She contacted Hotwire, which told her it stood by the review but that if she experienced a problem, she could contact them after she checked in.

I asked Hotwire if that was its final answer. Fortunately, a rep offered a full refund to Duffy.

“They said that they continually monitor hotels and this one has recently been downgraded,” Duffy adds.

ASK THE CAPTAIN

Doppler radar, modern aircraft reduce risk of wind shear John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: How dangerous is wind shear when landing?

A: Wind shear can be very dangerous to a landing airplane. Until the 1990s, it caused several accidents. After the tragic accident of Delta 191 in Dallas/Fort Worth, Doppler radar became more widespread, allowing better recognition of wind shear. Airborne Doppler radar is now common and allows pilots to see a

developing wind shear and avoid it. Consequently, wind shear is now not a significant risk. The last wind shear accident in the USA was in 1994.

Q: In the event of wind shear or some unusual situation, is there some sort of emergency power option for the engines to exceed regular limits?

A: This depends on the airplane and engine. Earlier-generation engines could overboost if necessary. However, with that

overboost capability came an increase in the likelihood of an engine failure.

A Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), as is common on most commercial airplanes, does not allow an overboost because it electronically controls the engines.

It is important to note that today’s modern twin-engine airplanes have a greater power-to-weight ratio than earlier generation three- and four-engine jets. Consequently, the pilots of these new twin-engine jets

have more thrust available to them even with the FADEC limitations.

Wind shear accidents have decreased over the years because of better pilot training, predictive technology and the greater power-to-weight ratio of twin-engine jets.

Q: I spent 10 years as a flight safety officer in the Air Force and five years with Bell Helicopters. I would like to continue my career in aviation safety. Do you have any

names or ideas?

A: I suggest you talk to a professional aviation placement person, apply to the National Transportation Safety Board or Federal Aviation Administration or look at industry magazines to find openings in safety departments. It is a very rewarding profession. I wish you luck in finding the right position.

John Cox is a retired airline captain with US Airways and runs his own aviation safety consulting company, Safety Operating Systems.

Spring break destinations

Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Normal airline passenger boarding isn’t good enough for Tom Cruise anymore. He just wings it as he steps back into the role of superspy Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.

“I’ve often sat on airplanes, looked out and thought, ‘What it would be like out there on the wing?’ ” Cruise says. “This is the (stuff ) I think about.”

Being Tom Cruise in the fifth chapter of the high-octane Mission: Impossible franchise (in theaters July 31), only gets more intense.

Amazingly, Cruise strapped himself to an Airbus A400 for a stunt that put the Hollywood superstar outside the plane during takeoff and landing.

As the first trailer (out today) will show, the initial ascent is so steep that Cruise’s feet dangle precariously in the air.

KEITH HAMSHERE, PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Cruise, Ving Rhames (back right, in hat) and Jeremy Renner, back left, are marched back into the fray.

“That’s me the whole time. I was standing right over the tires when we landed,” Cruise, 52, says proudly. “It’s nerve-racking for everyone else but pretty exciting for me.”

The rare stunt shows the spectacular bar Cruise must surpass

each time up for the franchise, which has grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. Mission: Impossible and Cruise have produced iconic action images since the series started nearly 20 years ago — from Hunt breaking into CIA headquarters, suspended

from the ceiling, in 1996’s Mission: Impossible to scaling the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai for 2011’s Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol.

“We knew anything we did was going to be compared with the Burj. But it’s not like you could wait for someone to build an even taller building,” says director Christopher McQuarrie. “We keep pushing the envelope.”

The new flick finds Hunt’s highly effective but destructive Impossible Mission Force disbanded by vengeful Washington bureaucrats such as the CIA chief (played by Alec Baldwin). But Hunt pulls his team together (Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and newcomer Rebecca Ferguson) to battle the shadowy force known as “The Syndicate” and its elusive leader (Sean Harris).

Stunts that involved speeding on motorcycles and getting airborne in cars were shot in Morocco, Vienna and London.

So there’s little time for rest, even after riding outside an Airbus for two days.

“I was pretty exhausted, but there’s always more work to be done on a Mission movie,” Cruise says. “It always seems like there’s not enough hours in the day making them.”

One stunt put Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) outside an Airbus A400 during takeoff and landing.

The Divergent Series: Insurgent showed franchise staying power by topping the weekend box office with $54 million.

The success comes a year after the first screen adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling book series, 2014’s Divergent, opened to $54.6 million on its way to a $150.9 million domestic haul.

Insurgent overcame tough reviews, earning a lowly 32% rating on RottenTomatoes.com. Audiences were far kinder: They gave it an A-minus on CinemaScore.

Loyal young-adult fans of the title continued to flock to see stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James in the next chapter.

“Insurgent is a testament of the

Four (Theo James), Peter (Miles Teller) and Tris (Shailene Woodley) carry on their struggle against the system. strength of this brand and great marketing,” says Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Rentrak. “These movies are catnip to this young-adult audience.”

Sean Penn’s foray into the possible-franchise action world was

not nearly as successful with The Gunman, which earned a fourthplace finish with an unimpressive $5 million.

The R-rated tale of an assassin targeted for killing brought in some big Hollywood names,

including Idris Elba and Javier Bardem. But it was shot up by reviewers, who gave it a 14% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.

“There’s this rush to have this Liam Neeson-style action star career revival. But no one has pulled it off like Neeson himself,” says Phil Contrino, analyst for BoxOffice.com. “Sean Penn is just another to miss the mark.”

Kenneth Branagh’s live-action Cinderella, with Downton Abbey’s Lily James in the title role, took second place after winning last weekend’s box office. It made $34.5 million ($122 million total).

Neeson showed enough stamina to pull into third with his thriller Run All Night, which earned another $5.1 million.

The amazingly resilient Kingsman: The Secret Service, starring Colin Firth, rounded out the top five with $4.6 million ($114.6 million total).

The faith-based Do You Believe? underwhelmed in a sixth-place debut with $4 million.

Final numbers are out today.

Shockers have way with KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — The muchtalked-about, long-awaited, highly anticipated battle between major-college power Kansas University and midmajor extraordinaire Wichita State didn’t turn out to be much of a contest Sunday in CenturyLink Center.

“We laid an egg, I guess,” KU junior forward Jamari Traylor said after the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional’s No. 2-seeded Jayhawks (27-9) were steamrolled by the No. 7 seed Shockers, 78-65, in a Round of 32 game.

off 3-of-9 shooting on a day the Jayhawks converted just 35.1 percent of their shots to Wichita State’s 49 percent.

The Shockers (30-4) trailed by as many as eight points in the first half, yet led by three at halftime and 11 with 15:47 to play and never saw their lead dip below eight points the rest of the way.

WSU shredded KU’s proud defense for 49 points off 59.3 percent shooting the second half. Only Iowa State (50) scored more in a half versus KU this season.

“It’s a sad and disappointing thing, a worse nightmare for our fans and our program. We let ourselves down,” KU sophomore Brannen Greene said.

Omaha, Neb. — The song remains the same in the Kansas University locker room on the day it gets knocked out of the NCAA Tournament. This year, that day came Sunday when a veteran, unflappable Wichita State squad defeated Kansas, 78-65, in the Round of 32 at CenturyLink Center.

Here’s how it goes: Reporters, asking questions that need to be asked, stop by the lockers of former McDonald’s All-Americans and ask if they will return to Kansas for another year.

Unsung WSU players upstage more ballyhooed Jayhawks in Round of 32 rout

WICHITA STATE GUARD FRED VANVLEET (23) CELEBRATES after hitting a three-pointer to give the Shockers a three-point lead just before halftime.

Omaha, Neb. — There were a dozen big shots, all kinds of clutch moments and even a few runs that decided Sunday’s 78-65 victory by seventh-seeded Wichita State over No. 2 seed Kansas University at CenturyLink Center.

But no play better illustrated the difference between the two teams or defined the reason for the final score than the hustle play and ensuing slam dunk made by Wichita State

freshman Zach Brown with 9:33 to play.

With just under 10 minutes remaining and the Jayhawks (27-9) trailing by nine points but closing in on some momentum, KU point guard Frank Mason III drove to the rim looking to make a play. As Mason floated under the basket, he attempted to fire a pass toward Kelly Oubre Jr. on the perimeter.

Brown, who said his job on the play was to deny any pass toward his man, got his fingertips on Mason’s bullet pass and sent the ball track-

ing toward mid-court. Oubre appeared to have a lead of a step or two on Brown in the race to chase it down, but just before the KU freshman could clamp down on the bouncing ball, Brown darted in front of him, poked it away and raced in for an uncontested dunk that put the Shockers up 56-45.

“That summarized the game right there,” said WSU point guard Fred VanVleet, who finished with 17 points, six rebounds and six assists. “That guy (Oubre) is supposed to be a lottery draft pick, and we’ve got

Zach Brown just outworking him and getting the ball.

That was big for us. That sums up us. That sums up the game.”

Brown, a 6-foot-6, 213-pound forward from Houston who finished with seven points and three fouls in 13 minutes, downplayed his contribution in the joyous WSU locker room.

“Everybody made a play out there,” he said. “I won’t say that play was the difference, but it was a turning point in the game.”

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks not thinking about NBA

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — Kelly Oubre Jr., a McDonald’s All-American who arrived at Kansas University as an almost-certain one-and-done college player, shed no light on his future plans after Sunday’s 78-65 loss to Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament.

“I go to Kansas University. I have no thoughts about the future right now,” freshman wing Oubre said after scoring nine points and grabbing five rebounds in what could be his final college game.

“I’m just recovering from this tough loss to end my season. I love this university. I give this university my life. Losing the way we did is something that doesn’t sit right with me.”

Asked by a reporter if there’s “any chance” he’ll return, Oubre said: “I go to the University of Kansas. I’m letting this loss sink in. I’m definitely not trying to think about the future right now. I’m trying to be with my brothers and let this sink in.”

Junior Perry Ellis, another McDonald’s AllAmerican, was asked about possibly turning pro and skipping his senior season.

“I’ve not thought about that at all,” said Ellis, who had 17 points. “I’m just trying to play. I’m sad the season is over. I’m not thinking about that at all.”

Of the loss to his hometown school, Wichita native Ellis said: “It’s hard to describe. It’s tough. Your time is running out, your junior year. It’s just tough.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WING KELLY OUBRE JR. (12) ATTEMPTS TO PULL IN A REBOUND late in the Jayhawks’ 78-65 loss to Wichita State on Sunday in Omaha, Nebraska.

Selden Jr., a McDonald’s All-American who has NBA aspirations, was quizzed about his future after scoring no points and grabbing a rebound with two turnovers and no assists in 23 minutes.

“I don’t have any comment on that (NBA),” Selden said. “It’s all about this team. It’s nothing about me. I’m not going to make it about me. It’s all about this team. We didn’t come out to play tonight. As a leader, I take pride in that, and we didn’t come to play.

“It’s not about next year,” Selden added. “We had something special this year. We have so much talent in this room right now. We have leaders.

We had everything we needed. We didn’t come through. You can’t look to next year when this is still heavy on our minds, and this still hurts.”

Freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk told the Journal-World on Saturday he

definitely would return to KU next season and not play overseas in advance of his expected entry into the 2016 NBA Draft.

Freshman Cliff Alexander, a McDonald’s All-American who was ineligible for the NCAA Tournament as the NCAA looks into possible improper benefits, is expected to turn pro, but he has made no definitive statement on his future. l

Postgame scene: Frank Mason III sat with one hand on his head in front of his locker room stall in a quiet locker room.

Senior Christian Garrett seemed to take the loss hardest of all as he shed tears. ... Brannen Greene barked at a reporter for getting too close to him in an excessively crowded locker room, then calmed down and answered all questions put to him. ... Jamari Traylor confirmed that somebody put a fist to a whiteboard

in the locker room, poking a hole in it prior to reporters’ arrival. He did not indicate who slugged the whiteboard on which plays were drawn. l

Marshall says: WSU coach Gregg Marshall in the interview room had this exchange with a reporter: Q: Gregg, now that you’ve probably screwed up any chance to get a series with KU. ...

Marshall: You think?

Q: Is the result OK? Marshall: Is that what they said? We haven’t called them yet.

Q: I just assumed from the result today that might be tough. Do you think your fans would be OK with that?

A: You know, who knows? They may want to play now. Who knows.

I have no idea. I’m not worried about that. I’m fine letting the series lay the way it is right now.

The series is good with me at this point.”

Wessel vs. Ellis: Former Wichita Heights teammates Evan Wessel (12 points, four threes) and Perry Ellis (17 points, eight boards) guarded each other.

“He had a great game, both ends of the floor,” Ellis said. “He made some huge shots that gave them a lot of momentum.

I didn’t get to talk to him much, but, yes, he’s a tough player, tough kid, real smart, and he showed that tonight.”

Wessel said: “First of all, he’s a tremendous player, tremendous athlete and he had a great game. It was a battle down there. As far as did I say anything to him, we’re both pretty quiet, we don’t say much, so I mean not really. I said good luck before the game, and that was about it, you know, wish him the best. But he had a great game, and it was definitely a challenge and a great opportunity to go against him.”

l

junior starters all scoring in double figures: “Well, they obviously were better prepared, ready for the moment better than us, and we didn’t play very well. I obviously didn’t get our guys to the point where we should play up to our — to the ability that we should potentially play up to. I do think — it’s pretty nice having some vets out there, and ... to me he (Wessel) was the most valuable guy of the game, and to me he dominated the game from a loose-ball energy, and then of course, he shot the ball in the hole well.

They were solid all the way around, but they had four starters play great, I thought. And they were all veterans, and that was the difference. Then their bench came in, and there was no pressure on their bench to perform well because the starters were playing so well. So the basket opened up, and certainly they made the most of it,” Self said.

l

l

Physical play: Ellis took an elbow from Fred VanVleet in the first half. Asked if his nose was broken, Ellis said: “No, nothing like that. I got hit pretty good, a little rip of the skin made it keep bleeding.”

KU’s Oubre was called for an intentional foul for hammering Tekele Cotton on a layup late.

“Yes, I’m OK, and he just hit me a little bit on my head, and I came down on my head a little bit, but I’m perfectly fine,” Cotton said.

Self on playing some zone the second half: “They were getting anywhere they wanted to go (off) the ball screens in the second half. First half we actually did a good job of that. Second half we didn’t, for whatever reason, and they were able to drive the ball downhill and got the ball in tight and forced help; so we decided to go zone, and we actually played the zone pretty well, and we made them shoot a couple of deep-corner from their non three-point shooters, l statistically, and it kind of Experience: Self on took us out of that immeWSU’s three senior/two diately.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF WALKS OFF THE COURT after KU’s 78-65 loss to Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32 on Sunday in Omaha, Nebraska.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

He and fellow wing Wayne Selden Jr. didn’t score off combined 0-for7 shooting while playing a combined 43 minutes.

“It’s a sad way to end the season, them being our state rival. Losing like that is the worst feeling,” Greene added.

Sophomore forward Landen Lucas, who had 10 rebounds and two points in 22 minutes, applauded the Shockers for outperforming the Jayhawks so decisively. All five WSU starters scored in double figures.

“I hate to say it, but I feel they might have wanted it a little bit more than we did,” Lucas said.

“I think we came in this game thinking that we did (want it more), but if you look at the small things when it really mattered ... the loose balls, extra possessions, executing, listening to coach, focus, I think the veteran team (WSU) came out and took the game. I credit them for that, (but) it sucks losing that way.”

Early on it looked as if the Jayhawks might have the right stuff to overcome the Shockers and advance to Thursday’s Sweet 16 contest against Notre Dame in Cleveland.

KU led, 22-16, when Ellis was elbowed in the nose by Fred VanVleet (17 points, six assists, six boards). The Jayhawks increased the lead to eight points at 5:08 and led by four when Ellis returned at 3:40. However, three-pointers by Ron Baker (12 points) and Van Vleet and a bucket and foul shot by Tekele Cotton (19 points) helped the Shockers grab a 2926 lead at halftime. WSU continued its blitz to start the second half, completing a 25-6 run that turned its eight-point first-half deficit into a 41-30 advantage just 4:20 into the second half.

“I’m not going to say that (Ellis’ leaving the game at that point) was the reason at all. He still

played 34 minutes,” KU coach Bill Self said of Ellis, who hit four of nine shots and nine of 10 free throws, good for 17 points with eight boards. “He’d have had to take a rest anyway.

He was only out two to four minutes. We didn’t play smart, took bad shots, rushed shots, basically gave them confidence.

“I thought Wessel’s (Evan, four threes, 12 points) three at the top of the key when we guarded well was the biggest shot of the game (cutting KU’s eight point lead to five right after Lucas missed an inside shot). It kind of took the lid off. He was the best player in the game, to me,” Self added of the Wichita Heights graduate.

WSU always seemed to have an answer to prevent KU from, in Self’s words, feeling any “game pressure.”

“Whatever we tried, they had a counter,” Self stated.

For instance, KU trailed, 54-45, with 10:25 left. However, Oubre missed a shot,

and KU committed a turnover after a WSU miss, leading to a Zach Brown dunk and two free throws

by Van Vleet as WSU built the lead back to 13 with 8:18 left.

The Jayhawks were down, 63-55, at 5:55.

Then after failing to get a five-second call on an inbounds pass, KU, after a WSU timeout, was burned by Darius Carter, who scored an easy bucket against the Jayhawks’ press.

Next, WSU led, 65-57, at 5:20, when Carter scored, Selden turned it over and Cotton converted to up the lead to 12 again.

“We took our foot off the pedal (when up by eight).

They made their run and never took their foot off the gas. That was the difference,” Oubre said.

Several Jayhawks expressed regret after the season-ending contest.

Selden, for instance, was not pleased with his own 0-for-5 shooting effort, 0-for-1 from three. WSU hit 10 of 20 threes to KU’s six of 21.

“You’ve got to feel bad when you don’t do what you are supposed to do,” Selden said. “I wasn’t scoring the ball well. You can do other things that affect the game like play defense and rebound the ball. I didn’t do them.

“It hurts to let so many people down,” Selden added. “We work so hard.

To fall like this is not what you thought the season would end up like. All the hard work we put forth.

We thought we had something special here, which we did, but we could have made it a real special year.

We didn’t do so. We just apologize to the fans.”

Noted Ellis, who tied freshman Devonté Graham for team-high scoring honors with his 17 points: “It’s tough, but they played better. We had trouble running our offense because they were playing defense so well. We couldn’t get stops. They played a great defensive game and also got us out of our offense.”

Self, who even used a zone defense to try to

slow the Shockers the second half to no avail, stressed that the better team won the game. The fact it was a team from Kansas that KU hasn’t played in 22 years ...

“I know that it means a lot to a lot of people,” he said. “Anybody that would ever say it meant more to them than it did us, they don’t know what they are talking about. Our guys were ready to play. They were just better. Both teams were ready to play.

“The rivalry and how it played out, it certainly adds attention and adds to a lot of talk moving forward I’m sure. It’s not going to be the most pleasant next few weeks for me personally. It doesn’t deserve to be (pleasant).

Our team didn’t play very well, and it all starts with me. If we’d been playing anybody else, it would have meant the same advancing to the Sweet 16. It just so happens we played an in-state team to go where we wanted to go, and they obviously were much better today.”

credit for Sunday’s victory onto others, Brown’s teammate, red-shirt sophomore Zach Bush, a walk-on from Wichita, had no problem speaking for him.

“He wanted it more,” Bush boasted. “He wanted it more.”

In a less convicted way, Brown himself confirmed as much moments later.

“I have no idea how it happened,” he said. “I just really wanted the ball. He had the ball in his hands, but I managed to tip it out.”

From there, the only decision left was whether

to get the sure two or try to rattle the rim. Brown elected for the latter and cocked the ball behind his head for a monster, twohanded slam.

“Dunk, layup, it’s all two points,” Brown said.

“I knew the dunk would give us a little more mo-

mentum and get everybody more hyped.”

It worked, and the Shockers (30-4) rolled into the Sweet 16, with their lead never again dipping below eight points.

“To me, this is probably one of the biggest wins I’ve been involved

with (as) a Shocker,” said WSU guard and native Kansan Ron Baker, who scored a dozen, eight in the first half. “Just because we don’t get the opportunity to play KU and we’re going to the Sweet 16, both tremendous achievements.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S FRANK MASON III, LEFT, AND WAYNE SELDEN JR. SIT AT THEIR LOCKERS after the Jayhawks’ 78-65 loss to Wichita State on Sunday at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

The last Kansas team that reached the Final Four, in 2012, was coach Bill Self’s lone roster since his days at Tulsa that didn’t have an eligible McDonald’s AllAmerican on it. So what’s a coach to do? Stop recruiting McDonald’s All-Americans, just about all of whom hit campus with one foot out the door, one ear tuned to those looking to cash in on a teenager’s potential to earn millions playing basketball? That’s not the answer either. At Kansas, the goal always is to assemble a roster capable of winning the national championship. The 2008 national champs banked on four McDonald’s AllAmericans (Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins), plus Brandon Rush, who generated plenty of one-and-done talk as a freshman.

The right mix is tougher than ever to put together. In the wake of that 2012 title-game loss, KU has gone 4-3 in NCAA Tournament games.

“The reality of it is we lost to a team that was better than us today and certainly deserves to move on,” said Self, ever-gracious in postgame interviews, be it in victory or defeat.

Wichita State wasn’t only better than Kansas on Sunday. It has been better for a three-year stretch. Over the same period, KU is 4-3 in the tourney, Wichita State is 7-2 and counting.

One-and-done prospects don’t consider Wichita State. Their handlers don’t think it’s cool enough to brag about their player going there, and the competi-

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) FINDS A PATH TO THE BASKET in the Jayhawks’ loss to WSU. tion they face in bigger conferences allows a better chance to showcase their talents. The players WSU lands come with an eagerness to prove they should have been recruited by the so-called power conferences. When a coach makes the right talent judgments and brings them along in the right way, they can play with the big boys and beat them.

I had to ask Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, one of the best college basketball coaches in America, as is Self, if he could recruit oneand-done talents to the Missouri Valley Conference school, would he do it, or does the blueprint available to him work just as well?

“It’s not something I have to worry about because I haven’t had

any one-and-done guys really interested in our program,” Marshall said. “I’m not saying I would or wouldn’t. It’s not something that I’ve had the opportunity to explore.”

Marshall shared the postgame podium with Cotton, Ron Baker and Evan Wessel.

“But I do know that four years ago we recruited these three guys in one recruiting class, and two of them red-shirted. That’s why they’re juniors,” Marshall said. “I remember them coming in that summer, and we were able to practice, like, for two hours a week and then take them on a trip (to Brazil, preceded by 10 practice days). ...

We were down in Rio, playing games, going to the beaches, got to know each other, had a really

good bond, coach-toplayer, player-to-player, and I knew then that we had something special.

We really had a great group of young players, and now they’ve developed and achieved so much that it’s been beautiful to watch.”

Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid were exciting to watch for a year at Kansas, but Wiggins showed his youth in the NCAA Tourney, and Embiid, cautious in advance of the NBA draft, never played in the tournament.

Marshall, as with Self in 2012, when he started four juniors and a senior, never has to worry about whether his players know what to do, never has to worry whether they can take a punch and keep plowing forward. Self’s team of young players, some im-

proving, some not, kept the coach guessing.

Kansas sophomore point guard Frank Mason III came out on fire and led Kansas to a 17-12 lead with nine points. The Shockers’ body language didn’t change. The lead grew to 24-16. The Shockers’ confidence never wavered.

Wichita State ended the half on a 13-2 run, and Fred VanVleet’s three-pointer with 54 seconds left gave the Shockers their first lead since 2-1. Kansas never led again, and with 15:25 left, Baker’s tip-in put the Shockers up by 11. Plenty of time left for Kansas, except that it didn’t feel that way. Freshman Devonté Graham, who projects as a four-year player, brought urgency with four of his five steals and 13 of his 17 points coming in the sec-

ond half. He didn’t have enough company. The KU defense that looked so tough until late in the first half vanished. At the other end, Wichita State pressured Kansas out of running its offense. Cotton was as good, maybe better, at the defensive end as on offense in guarding Selden, who spent much of his time guarding Baker.

Asked about Selden’s 0-for-5 shooting night, Self said, “We’ve done it all year long. We kind of … it was a make-shift plan. Things didn’t go as scripted, obviously, and we had some guys, couple of guys that played well, and we had a couple of guys not have their best game, and certainly we’re the type of team that, you know, we shouldn’t be putting it on a reserve freshman to carry us, and that’s what we did today. But, you know, that happens sometimes. Wayne didn’t have his best game, but he also carried us last week, too, so that’s been the story of our team is that you just never know which guys, and we just didn’t have enough guys today.”

Obviously, Selden wasn’t KU’s lone scoreless McDonald’s AllAmerican. Freshman center Cliff Alexander wasn’t eligible for the postseason as the NCAA investigates his family’s compliance to rules.

Kelly Oubre Jr., outhustled to a loose ball by Shockers freshman Zach Brown on a huge play, totaled nine points and five rebounds. Perry Ellis contributed 17 points and eight rebounds, but had trouble getting open.

It’s the offseason now, which means a player or players likely will depart before exhausting their eligibility, and others will arrive, some hoping for a short stay.

East Regional No. 7 Michigan St. 60, No. 2 Virginia 54 Charlotte, N.C. — Travis Trice received a text message Sunday from Golden State Warriors forward and former Michigan State player Draymond Green that read: “Don’t let this be your last game.”

The Spartans’ senior guard texted back, “It won’t.”

Trice made sure of that Sunday, scoring 23 points and helping Michigan State knock secondseeded Virginia out of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year, 60-54.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Trice scored 13 of his team’s first 15 points on 5-of-5 shooting, including three three-pointers, to help the Spartans build a 15-4 lead.

Branden Dawson added 15 points and nine rebounds for the seventhseeded Spartans, who advanced to the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in the last eight seasons under coach Tom Izzo. The Spartans will play Oklahoma on Friday in Syracuse, New York.

“Our thing was attack from the get go and get a lead,” said Trice, in his first full season as a starter after three years as a reserve.

“It was his time to shine,” said Dawson, who started playing with Trice in AAU ball.

With top seed Villanova having lost Saturday, it is the first time a No. 1 and 2 seed from the same region didn’t advance to the Sweet 16 since Kentucky and Gonzaga in 2004.

The Cavaliers (30-4), the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to lose after a 9-0 start in the tournament, were led by Anthony Gill’s 11 points and Darion Atkins’ 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Izzo made some defensive tweaks to his game plan after Michigan State’s first-round win over Georgia, and the Spartans (25-11) stole a page from last year’s regional semifinal win by limiting the Cavaliers to 29.8 percent shooting. Virginia finished 2-of-17 from three-point range.

Izzo said the Spartans “changed what we do” defensively in a day-anda-half.

Instead of having his guards jump to the ball and give help, Izzo relied more on his big men in the middle to stay disciplined — and not cheat or go for steals — and guard against Virginia’s flare screens.

“We’re just not as talented as we’ve been so we are always cheating to find a way to get an edge,” Izzo said. “Coaches can tell you what to do, but when muscle memory tells you to do it another way ... your focus has to be incredible. And that was incredible focus if you asked me.”

Last year, the Spartans upset the top-seeded Cavaliers in the regional semifinal by holding Virginia to 35.1 percent shooting.

While Trice was beating them up and down the court and making threes, the Cavaliers opened the game 2-of-10 from the field and could never get on track offensively.

“They are so good defensively that any start like that is costly,” Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett said.

South Regional No. 1 Duke 68, No. 8 San Diego St. 49 Charlotte, N.C. — Jahlil Okafor scored 18 of his 26 points in a dominating first half, and Duke beat San Diego State to get back to the Sweet 16.

Fellow freshman Justise Winslow added 13 points and 12 rebounds for Duke (31-4), which for the second straight tournament game ran out to a quick lead and stayed in control the rest of the way.

Duke — holding a No. 1 seed for the 11th time in 18 seasons but its first since 2011 — advanced to face fifth-seeded Utah in Houston’s South Region semifinals.

Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils are pushing for their 12th Final Four and completed their twogame stay in their home state with a pair of hotshooting wins.

Duke shot 55 percent against the eighth-seeded Aztecs (27-9), two days after shooting 63 percent against Robert Morris.

Fittingly it was Okafor, the big man who has powered Duke’s offense all season, who led the way Sunday.

The 6-foot-11 freshman showed a full range of elite moves in the opening half.

He scored with his back to the basket. He put the ball on the floor from about 10 feet and drove for scores. He ran the court for a dunk on a beautiful Cook-to-Jonesto-Okafor push downcourt.

The Aztecs, despite having some size to wrestle with him, had no way to stop him.

Meanwhile, Winslow put on his own show with five assists and one jaw-dropping block on JJ O’Brien at the rim. That set the ball loose in transition for Quinn Cook to bury a three-pointer, then pretend to holster pistols as he turned to run back up the court — a sign that the Blue Devils were completely at ease and rolling with a confident strut.

SWEET 16 LOOKAHEAD

Bruins prove they belong in field semifinals for the third straight year.

Now, he will face the sixth-seeded Musketeers, whom he coached from 2004-2009. Xavier reached the Elite Eight in 2008 under Miller and the Musketeers were in the Sweet 16 the next year.

Chris Mack succeeded Miller at Xavier when he left for Arizona.

“As far as playing Sean, it’s really tough,” Mack said. “I recruited all these guys that play for me. But Sean gave me a heck of an opportunity to come back to my alma mater. He put a lot of responsibility and trust in me. He ultimately really pushed for me to become the head coach, and for that I’m eternally grateful. It’s hard to play against one of your best friends in the business.

But it really won’t matter to our guys, nor will it matter to Arizona, because they don’t know me from a bucket of paint.”

The Associated Press

It’s the Sweet 16 — the second week of the NCAA Tournament — and that means bragging rights for college basketball programs.

Check the cover of media guides or banners adorning arenas. They always start with Sweet 16 appearances. No bragging about the first weekend. Playing this week means you had two good wins and you are just two wins from the Final Four.

The story of the tournament has been Kentucky’s pursuit of a perfect season. Everyone’s playing in that shadow.

The Wildcats improved to 36-0 — the best start to a season for any team — and they’re trying for 400. That would be the first undefeated season by a national champion since David Stephenson/AP Photo Indiana in 1976.

“The selection committee thought we were good enough to play in this tournament, and I think we proved it,” forward Tony Parker said.

Kentucky’s chase The top-ranked Wildcats showed in the round of 32 why they are the even-money favorite to win the whole thing.

In their win over Cincinnati, the Wildcats shot just 37 percent and were outrebounded 4538. There really wasn’t a point in the game when Kentucky felt threatened about its winning streak and the 64-51 win was the Wildcats’ 29th of 36 by at least 10 points.

“I always like it when my team shoots 37, 36, 35 percent and wins in double digits,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said.

“It shows them they don’t have to make shots to win.”

Sparty’s party Michigan State under Tom Izzo has become as familiar in the Sweet 16 as the guys in a school band wearing enough face paint to cover a garage.

The Spartans have reached the regional semifinals for the seventh time in the last eight years. They will face Oklahoma in Syracuse, New York.

Izzo has a 13-1 record in games in the round of 32. He was surprised a bit that this team won its second game to move on.

“We’ve been a team all year that has banged around, probably lost more games than we should have just because of the free-throw situa-

Duke-Utah Sweet 16 game it will be between two men with a lot in common.

Stein sets RBI mark in Jayhawks’ 5-4 win J-W Staff Reports

Maddie Stein became Kansas University’s alltime career RBI leader with a solo home run in the fifth inning, and KU c o a c h Megan S m i t h claimed her 300th career win in a Stein the Jayhawks’ 5-4 victory over Georgia State on Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Stein’s homer proved to be the game-winner and gave her 141 career RBIs, one more than former teammate Maggie Hull-Tietz.

“It’s pretty cool,” Stein said. “You don’t come into a school saying you are going to do stuff like that. I have had a lot of people pulling for me, and it’s really great to accomplish something like that.”

The 22nd-ranked Jayhawks improved to 29-2 and made a 300-game winner of Smith, who is in her 10th season as a coach and sixth at KU. “I’m more excited about Maddie’s (record) than my own,” Smith said. “But 300 wins, that’s awesome. I’ve been a part

It’s really the players that go out and play for me. It’s not about me.

KANSAS SENIOR MARIA BELEN LUDUEÑA HITS A FOREHAND during her No. 1 doubles match against West Virgina on Sunday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. Kansas won 4-0.

Quick start propels KU tennis to 4-0 win over West Virginia J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s women’s tennis team used a fast start and a come-from-behind singles win to blank West Virginia, 4-0, Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

KU improved to 6-8 overall, 2-2 in the Big 12.

“I thought the biggest thing today was that we fought, and at the end of the day that was what won us the match,” KU coach Todd Chapman said. “It was 4-0, but that was a heck of a lot closer than 4-0. West Virginia played well, and I felt like

it could’ve gone either way.”

Kansas got out to a quick start taking early leads on all three doubles courts. After clinching wins on courts one and two, the Jayhawks jumped to a 1-0 lead heading into singles play.

Maria Belen Ludueña, sealed the victory for Kansas, downing Kaja Mrgole in a three-set decision. After dropping the first set, 3-6, Luduena clawed her way back to steal the second set from an exasperated Mrgole, 6-4, forcing a third set.

After jumping out 4-0 in the third set, Ludue-

ña eventually outlasted Mrgole, 6-0, clinching Kansas’ second-consecutive victory closing out the Jayhawks five-game home stand.

“I think the big thing is that Belen has matured this year and she doesn’t allow one set to affect the next,” Chapman said. “I feel like she’s doing a really good job of that when she gets leads she closes things out and doesn’t make things harder on herself. Mentally, she is approaching those situations in a much more mature way than she used too and much tougher mindset and I think that’s the key.”

Home runs power Hawkeyes past Kansas baseball, 6-2 J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University stranded 17 runners and surrendered three home runs in a 6-2 baseball loss to Iowa on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

KU had 10 hits and drew seven walks, but the 17 stranded runners were the most in the Ritch Price era.

“We had an unbelievable number of opportunities

to score,” 13th-year coach Price said. “We had some really bad at bats with runners in scoring position.

Not taking advantage of those at bats is magnified late in the game.”

Michael Tinsley and Joven Afenir each had two hits for KU. Drew Morovick (2-3) took the loss after allowing four runs — all earned — off 10 hits over five innings.

Iowa took two of three with KU over the weekend and improved to 14-5.

KU fell to 9-14.

The Jayhawks will play at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Missouri State.

Iowa 010 031 001 — 6 14 1 Kansas 000 000 101 — 2 10 0 W — Brandon Shulista, 1-1. L — Drew Morovick, 2-3. Sv — Nick Allgeyer, 1.

Monday, March 23, 2015

Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old man, divorced for the past 15 years. My daughter is 24 years old and married to a good guy, and they have two lovely boys. Although I have struggled with depression over the years, I try to live a good, honest Christian life. I raised my two children as a single parent, and my ex has become a deadbeat mother. My ex has married several times since our divorce. Each of her subsequent husbands has been an alcoholic or a drug user.

My problem is that my daughter and her mother seldom speak or see each other. My ex will see my son on occasion, but not much. She’s the kind of person who cannot admit fault. When

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

my ex was married to one of her drunken drug users, she let him kick my daughter out of their home because she broke curfew once.

I can see how much this estrangement hurts my daughter, and I want so much for her to reconcile with her mother. My daughter reaches out to my ex through mail, birthday party invitations and occasional voicemails.

‘Eloise’ bio is lackluster for HBO HBO’s documentary division has been on a roll. The multipart series “The Jinx” culminated in the re-arrest of its subject, Robert Durst, and the kind of publicity money cannot buy.

On Sunday, HBO will air “Going Clear,” a documentary indictment of the Church of Scientology that is so staggering in its allegations that it will set the world of social media ablaze.

And just weeks ago, HBO broadcast “Citizenfour,” the 2014 Oscar winner for best documentary.

Into this heady mix c o m e s “It’s Me, Hilary: The Man Who Drew Eloise” (8 p.m., HBO). This is not a bad little film, but it’s not really much more than a home movie.

“Me” is introduced and coproduced by “Girls” creator Lena Dunham, who so identifies with the character in “Eloise at the Plaza” and other illustrated books that she had the impish girl’s image tattooed on her lower back. Isn’t that precious? After a few minutes with Dunham’s trademarked self-absorption, the film gives way to a brief look at the remarkable career and lifelong eccentricity of Hilary Knight, who collaborated with author Kay Thompson on the beloved “Eloise” books.

“Me” offers an illuminating and ultimately sad look at their artistic process. Thompson, a larger-than-life radio and Hollywood star, projected remarkable vivacity and creativity.

She had left countless projects unrealized until she and Knight worked together. But her need to control all aspects of the books eventually drove them apart, leaving Knight creatively, financially and spiritually divorced from Eloise for decades.

It may be unfair to say that Knight’s collaboration with Thompson defined his reputation, but it certainly provides the most interesting moments of this film. The director pads things out with shots of a home movie featuring singer/performance artist Phoebe Legere and a man dressed as an enchanted frog. Like many home movies, it has a “you had to be there” quality. “Me” runs only 36 minutes, but seems much longer.

O A multi-car crackup fills the wards on “The Night Shift” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Singer-producer Ric Ocasek is 66. Singer Chaka Khan is 62. Actress Michelle Monaghan is 39.

Gossip columnist-blogger Perez Hilton is 37.

Her mother never responds.

I recently texted both of them stating that I am sorry for my part in the divorce, hoping it would open up communication. I encouraged them to meet at a neutral location without finding fault in each other and just spend time together.

I feel that a large amount of responsibility has been placed on my shoulders due to my ex’s refusal to be a decent parent.

My question is whether or not I should say any more regarding this. I worry so much for my daughter. — Dad Dear Dad: Your suggestion to meet in a neutral location is a good one, and we hope they will take you up on it. But

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, March 23: This year you have a new kind of energy that emanates from your creativity. If you are single, you are likely to find your sweetie before winter 2015. If you are attached, this year could be one of the most romantic years of your life.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You will decide to share your thoughts with friends and loved ones whose opinions you care about. Tonight: Be the master of your domain.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ No matter what your status might be, you’ll have several admirers who can’t seem to get enough of you. Tonight: Decide who and what.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Know when you need to pull back. When you are less assertive, others will step up to the plate. Tonight: Practice your vanishing act.

Brainstorm with others who might have similar concerns. Tonight: Out late.

please understand that you cannot force your ex-wife to be a better, more caring mother. And there is no way to prevent her behavior from hurting your daughter. What you can do, however, is make sure your daughter knows how much she is loved and valued by her father and others, and that her mother’s lack of affection is not about her — it’s about Mom’s issues, and only Mom can remedy that. Help her limit the hurt by accepting Mom as she is.
