A Lawrence detective testified Friday that financial records found at the crime scene raised suspicions about Ronald Eugene Heskett, a 48-year-old Eudora man charged with first-degree murder in the death of a disabled Lawrence man in his care.

Heskett worked as a home health care attendant for Vance “Van” Moulton, 65, who had cerebral palsy. Moulton was found dead of asphyxiation Sept.

12, 2014, at his Heskett residence at Prairie Ridge Place Apartments, 2424 Melrose Lane. Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell testified at a preliminary hearing Friday that a “consistent area of compression surrounding his entire neck” had caused the asphyxiation.

Heskett initially described the death as an assisted suicide, officials said, but investigators quickly suspected otherwise.

Lawrence Police Department Detective Randy Gladwell testified that when he arrived to investigate the scene he found Moulton lying on his side in bed with a towel around his head. Once he received a warrant, Gladwell said, he began to search. Heskett had said he found Moulton’s body.

While searching for evidence, Gladwell said he was informed Please see RECORDS, page 2A

The father of Nicholas Sardina, 27, of Lawrence, who was killed in 2012 after being struck over the head with a beer bottle during a brawl at a house party, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the man convicted of manslaughter in his son’s death and the woman who hosted the party.

Gonzalez, 23, of Mission, hit Sardina, 27, of Lawrence, over the head with a beer bottle during a brawl at a party hosted by Whitney Beck, of Overland Park, in the 300 block of West 14th Street in the early morning hours of Feb. 25, 2012. Gonzalez had argued that he Gonzalez was trying to protect a friend under attack by Sardina. Prosecutors said Gonzalez used excessive force in striking Sardina, who later died from his injuries.

Gonzalez was convicted in June of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Sardina.

In August, he was sentenced to 32 months in prison but was released in December on an appeal bond. The first trial in December ended in a hung jury. The retrial ended June 5 with a conviction for Gonzalez.

Sardina’s father, Joseph Sardina, is seeking $1.5 million from Gonzalez and Beck for damages associated with his “mental

dismissed because the “damages claimed by (Joseph Sardina) were caused or exacerbated” by outside factors that “are not the responsibility of (Gonzalez).”

On Friday, Chief Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled at a hearing that the Lawrence Police Department must release all information concerning the criminal investigation that led to Gonzalez’s initial arrest to Riling.

At the hearing, Bennett agreed with Riling that the information should be released.

Gonzalez’s attorney, Kevin Regan, failed to show for the hearing.

The City of Lawrence had hesitated to release the police department’s information due to privacy issues with some of the witnesses interviewed in the Gonzalez investigation. But upon Fairchild’s order, attorney for the city Maria Kaminska said she would hand over the documents, photos, interviews and other items on file from the Gonzalez investigation.

Gonzalez and Beck are scheduled to appear next in court on Sept.

18. A jury trial to decide the case is scheduled for Oct. 13. It is scheduled to last four days.

Gonzalez is also currently in the middle of the appeal process of his criminal case.

He was released from prison in December on a $50,000 appeal bond and is residing in Mission. Beck’s age and location were not available in court documents.

anguish,” “bereavement” and his son’s funeral expenses. Joseph Sardina alleges that Nicholas Sardina died due to Gonzalez and Beck’s negligence.

Joseph Sardina’s attorney, Timothy Riling, said in court documents that Beck “failed to adequately supervise and control the guests she invited,” including Gonzalez, “who was under the legal drinking age” at the time. Riling said Beck previously admitted to supplying alcohol for her guests and becoming upset when a roommate tried to break up the party.

Beck’s attorney, Kevin Bennett, said in court documents that Nicholas Sardina “undertook an inherently dangerous activity” by engaging in the brawl and therefore he “voluntarily assumed the risks of such activity.”

Gonzalez, meanwhile, filed a response asking that the suit be dismissed and claimed that “any injury or damage to (Nicholas Sardina) was caused and/or contributed to be caused by and through the carelessness, negligence and/or fault” of Nicholas Sardina.

Gonzalez wrote that “his use of force was permitted as self defense because he reasonably believed physical force was necessary to defend himself against (Sardina’s) imminent use of unlawful force.”

Gonzalez also claimed that his use of force was necessary to defend another person from Sardina.

Further, Gonzalez stated in court documents that Joseph Sardina’s lawsuit should be

The U.S. Supreme Court has not said whether it will hear the challenge, and it has no deadline for doing so.

Colorado Republican Attorney General Cynthia Coffman opposes marijuana legalization, but she said the problem needs to be fixed by federal drug authorities. “This lawsuit ... won’t fix America’s national drug policy — at least not without leadership from Washington, D.C., which remains noticeably absent,” Coffman said in a statement.

that Heskett was asking that his book bag, which he’d left inside Moulton’s apartment, be returned to him.

Before he released the bag to Heskett, Gladwell said, he searched it. Inside, among Heskett’s belongings, Gladwell said he found two check receipts from the Kansas Department of Revenue in Moulton’s name totaling more than $13,000, various financial documents of Moulton’s and a bottle of hydrocodone prescribed to Moulton.

Gladwell said he considered Heskett’s possession of Moulton’s financial records and medicine “suspicious circumstances,” and that’s when he began investigating the scene as a homicide.

The day of the death, detectives interviewed Moulton’s longtime friend John “Randy” Pipkin. Pipkin testified Friday that Moulton had been saving his money to purchase an accessible van so friends could drive him. Pipkin said Moulton was putting his money in a safe deposit box at Bank of America.

Lawrence Bank of America Assistant Manager Katie Proctor testified Friday that Moulton did have a safe deposit box at the bank and that Moulton visited the box five times from November 2013 until May 2014.

Haskell Resurgence was not a Haskell University sponsored or organized event but rather a student-led one taking place on the campus.

The cancellation appears to involve discrepancies over planning and the availability of fund-

Efforts may be made to have some of the scheduled musicians return for the annual Haskell Empowerment Summit in midApril instead.

es three more marijuana challenges in a lower federal court.

A set of county sheriffs from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska have filed a separate lawsuit in federal court in Denver. The third lawsuit comes from a Colorado hotel owner who argues that marijuana is hurting his business. The fourth one is from a southern Colorado couple who say that a potgrowing warehouse near their property diminishes the property’s value.

Two other states that have legalized recreational marijuana, Oregon and Washington, filed their own briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday arguing that states are free to legalize pot.

“Though federal law has long prohibited the manufacture, distribution, and use of certain drugs, states have always been on the front lines of making and enforcing drug policy, particularly as to marijuana,” Washington and Oregon argued in their filing.

Attorneys for Nebraska and Oklahoma were reviewing Colorado’s filing Friday but sent some early reaction.

Aaron Cooper, spokesman for Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt,

said in a statement that Oklahoma is not trying to impose drug enforcement on Colorado. It’s just challenging regulations that could be causing the drug to spill into other states, Cooper said.

“The only portion of the Colorado law Oklahoma is challenging is the section that transformed Colorado into a largescale hub for the commercial growing and selling of marijuana because those actions created a tide of illegal drugs flowing into Oklahoma, Nebraska and other states,” Cooper said.

This week, Colorado unsealed indictments alleging 32 people earned millions of dollars by illegally exporting tons of the drug to other states, mostly to Minnesota. The group is accused of falsely posing as licensed medical marijuana caregivers and small business owners.

In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice told states that legalized pot that they must prevent pot diversion to other states or else “the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself.”

Federal authorities have since taken no such action.

25, after Moulton’s death, police asked her to open Moulton’s safe deposit box as part of their investigation. When she opened the box, Proctor said, she found it empty.

According to the affidavit justifying his arrest, Heskett claimed Moulton’s death was an assisted suicide. Heskett told investigators that Moulton had asked him to kill him many times before the morning of Sept.

12, according to the affidavit. Heskett said when Moulton asked again that day, he gave in because Moulton told him “he just wanted to walk with his mother again.”

At Moulton’s request, Heskett said, he twisted a towel around Moulton’s neck, balled it up on one side and told Moulton to lie on the towel, according to the affidavit.

Because of his disability, Moulton was unable to hold the towel himself.

Heskett said that after what “seemed like forever,” Moulton died and Heskett called his employer and police.

Mitchell, the coroner, said that Moulton had little mobility; the only limb he could control was one of his arms. Mitchell said that due to Heskett’s limited dexterity it would be “unlikely” for him to be able to kill himself with the towel.

“It is difficult to accomplish for someone with dexterity,” Mitchell said.

“It is unlikely for someone without mobility.”

SATURDAY COLUMN

Passion aimed at sports could benefit other ‘teams’

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Consider what might be accomplished if local and state residents gave as much attention and involvement to issues such as education, good government, job opportunities and the performance of those in elective office as they give to competitive high school and college sports.

And, if there were time, they might give more attention to national issues such as protecting our national borders, the growing involvement of the federal government in the lives of most Americans, along with education and medical issues.

Competitive sports are good in many ways because they involve a broad slice of society and generate enthusiasm and school spirit that often increase private fiscal support for the schools. They also demonstrate what can be accomplished by team efforts, practice and training, the importance of playing by the rules, the penalties for breaking the rules and the intense joy of winning.

Why not apply these same principles, benefits or positive spin-offs to other team efforts?

How about city commission

and school board “teams” or maybe the Kansas Board of Regents team or a team called the Kansas Legislature? Shouldn’t there be just as much concern and interest for how theses teams and their team members operate, their wins and losses, the eligibility or performance of the players (officeholders) and the penalties if they do not perform or play their games by the designated rules?

The nation’s near-obsession with sports at all levels continues throughout the year. The current NCAA post-season basketball tournament lasts about three weeks, and, within days, professional major league baseball teams will open their almost-six-month season capped by the World Series.

By that time, professional and college football will be underway, closing with bowl games and national championships.

And it will be basketball season again. Through the year, there are a host of other sports such as golf, soccer, tennis, hockey, softball, track and field, swimming, winter or summer Olympic games every two years and the television-generated X or extreme games and competition.

Consider the millions of

Americans involved in sports at one level or another plus the businesses and their employees who rely on sports to sell their products from beer to jerseys, or the millions of dollars spent on tickets, arenas, scholarships, salaries, playing fields and uniforms, along with the millions won or lost in sports-related gambling.

COMMENTARY It’s a huge business, growing bigger and bigger every year.

Economists claim the national economy takes a hit during the NCAA tourney with sports fans taking time off to watch the televised games, workers not paying attention to their jobs and millions who are more concerned about their bracket predictions than their jobs.

The puzzle is how to generate the same degree of interest in education and government and how to develop “winners” and winning teams in these extremely important endeavors. For example, think about the time and money spent by colleges these days to dis-

cover, recruit and land superior football and basketball players. Consider the recent attention given to whether a knee injury was going to keep KU’s star basketball player, Perry Ellis, out of several games. Is any similar level of concern given to the health or performance of a KU teacher or researcher or a Kansas legislator or governor?

Do search efforts for major academic players, such as a new dean, at KU measure up in any way to the scouting and recruiting of a top high school athlete? Consider the number of athletic coaches who recruit and use the school’s jet to fly throughout the country looking for talented players.

Which is more important: a superior, “five-star” dean who is top in his or her field or a “five star” athletic recruit?

Academic efforts should exceed, or at least match, athletic efforts. Likewise, why not hold those who serve as regents, educators, state legislators, city commissioners, governor, chancellors or school board members just as accountable as we do sports teams and rank them on their performance and achievements?

Could it be sports provide a

convenient and enjoyable diversion from the frustration, disappointment and anger often triggered by the actions, or lack of actions, by those in government at the local, state and national levels and in higher education?

It’s OK to fire a coach or dismiss a player for poor performance but far more difficult to fire a chancellor, dean, state legislator, regent or governor for poor performance. In the sports world, disciplinary action is almost immediate where it takes far more time and backbone to trigger dismissals in the academic and government worlds.

Granted, some of the situations mentioned above may be overstated, but the general concern is valid.

Far more public attention, involvement and passion is directed to competitive sports than is directed to local, state and national government and education. There is far more emotion associated with sports than with government and education and far quicker resolve to correct poor performance in sports than in government and education.

In the long run, which is more important?

Baldwin district having sale at Vinland school for leftover items

By Elvyn Jones Baldwin City Signal

Those looking for a small desk or a “cute” little chair are invited to shop this morning at the old Vinland Elementary School.

“Just make us an offer for an item,” she said.

“That’s pretty much it.”

Although much has been claimed, the materials that remain are in good condition and include school desks and small chairs made for

young students, she said.

Superintendent Paul Dorathy said the Vinland school’s sale were moving forward and he hoped it could be wrapped up in about four months. The buyer, Darren Flory, who in December submitted the high bid of $301,000 for the school, was work-

talked about them. He has a reputation of being very conservative, but I don’t see his views influencing me more than anybody else. I’m my own man.”

Crossland’s construction companies aren’t generally large players in the Lawrence construction market. But over the past couple years the company has bid on a pair of high-profile projects. Crossland was the second-lowest bidder for the $10.5 million recreation center at Rock Chalk Park. More recently, a Crossland company was the low bidder for the approximately $50 million wastewater treatment plan. But city commissioners rejected that bid because it came in about $5 million above engineer’s estimates.

Commissioners agreed to rebid the project.

Rasmussen said he wasn’t aware that Crossland had bid on city projects when he accepted the donations. He said it would create no problems for him as a commissioner.

“They are not calling me and asking for my opinion or anything like that,” Rasmussen said. “I haven’t had any contact with Ivan since he sent me the checks.

“I’m not elected by my donors. I’m elected by the citizens of Lawrence, and that is who I will be representing, if I serve on the City Commission.”

Other candidates for the three at-large seats on the commission are Stuart Boley, Matthew Herbert, Terry Riordan, Bob Schumm and Leslie Soden. The election is April 7.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Rasmussen said the donations from the Crosslands were the result of a relationship he had formed with Ivan Crossland, Jr. while they were classmates in the 2007 Leadership Kansas class.

Rasmussen also developed a relationship with Patrick Crossland, who also donated to Rasmussen’s campaign, when Rasmussen served as the state program chair for Leadership Kansas, a program run by the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

“They aren’t active in this race,” Rasmussen said of the Crossland family. “I doubt they even know the issues in this race. They haven’t talked to me about them. I think he really was just trying to help a classmate.”

Rasmussen, the second-place finisher in the primary election, said he sent out an email in late 2014 when he decided to run for the City Commission. He sent the email to his Leadership Kansas friends and others. Ivan Crossland, Jr. called shortly thereafter and asked Rasmussen if he could donate to his campaign. In total Crossland family members or companies controlled by Crossland family members made nine donations, each for the $500 maximum allowed by law. All the donations were made during the late 2014 reporting period. The family hasn’t made any donations during the 2015 reporting

period, and Rasmussen said the new campaign finance reports that are due Monday won’t have any contributions from the Crosslands.

“I hadn’t talked to him in several years,” Rasmussen said. “We don’t have a close relationship.”

Several other out-oftown donations on Rasmussen’s campaign finance report also came from Leadership Kansas classmates, Rasmussen said.

Some Lawrence residents had expressed concerns after they began looking at Rasmussen’s campaign finance reports. Geri Shoger said she was concerned that statewide political activists were starting to shift their attention to local elections.

“Local elections should be local,” said Shoger, who wrote a letter to the editor. “We shouldn’t have that big of an influence coming from Missouri or Arkansas. These people don’t know our issues.”

The Crossland family is primarily based in southeast Kansas, where it runs a successful construction company. But some of the donations to Rasmussen also came from Crossland companies that are based in Missouri and Arkansas.

Rasmussen said he did not want voters to think that his acceptance of the campaign contributions meant that he agreed with all the political positions espoused by the Crosslands.

“I think we have different views on things,” Rasmussen said. “I’m not sure what Ivan’s views are on issues because we haven’t

ing with the county to get the property rezoned for his dairy equipment supply company, he said.

Money from the sale would be placed in the district’s capital outlay fund, Dorathy said. Although state law forbids its use for bond and interest payments and its general operating fund, the district could deposit the money in its special education, atrisk funds, Dorathy said. It made sense, however, to place the money in capital outlay because it would

be one-time revenue and would be used on onetime projects. Should the district use the money for ongoing expenses, it would face the problem of identifying a replacement funding source in a year, he said.

In other news, Dorathy told the board he has found a buyer committed to buying the house on the Rhulen property.

The district has been trying to sell the house for a year with the provision it be removed from

No matter Saturday’s outcome, Wolak and Martin say this is just the beginning.

“It’s been great to see the students from different walks of life coming together,” Wolak said.

“It’s bringing our students together. It’s bringing our school together.

It’s bringing our community together.”

Next, the sponsors would like to add a fall event, get more students involved, and explore new venues and experiences for the up-andcoming poets.

“Keep an eye on us,” Wolak said. “We’re looking to grow this and get all these kids’ stories out and heard.”

The team — “growing every day” but headlined by juniors Grace Eason and Khaury El-Amin, and sophomores Lauren Brittain, Mariah Houston, Rowan Plinsky and Kahler Wiebe — was organized by Wolak and fellow English teacher Andrew Martin after students watched the 2010 documentary “Louder than a Bomb.”

“We thought this would be a fun thing to try,” Wolak said, “but it’s turned into a really big deal.”

The expense of moving the house has scared off some potential buyers.

The latest potential buyer intends to move the house to property he owns a mile away but had to go overseas for a jobrelated emergency for a month, Dorathy said.

There were other interested buyers, but the board gave Dorathy its blessing to give the potential buyer a month to take action on the house.

Board of Realtors endorses 3 city candidates The Lawrence Board of Realtors has endorsed three candidates for the upcoming Lawrence City Commission election.

Options for organic fertilizers G

ardeners who want to grow organically face a few extra challenges when selecting fertilizer, although with a little extra care the nutrients that plants need can still be provided at a reasonable cost.

The biggest challenges are understanding the need for fertilization (or lack of), recognizing organic sources, and deciphering the supply chain.

Why fertilize plants?

The reasons to fertilize really depend on plant species, the gardener’s goals and the site. For example, a gardener who wants to produce an abundance of tomatoes in poor soil will likely be more successful by fertilizing. A gardener who wants a nice crop of apples year after year can better sustain the tree by fertilizing. In contrast, an herb gardener may have healthier plants without adding extra fertilizer.

Generally speaking, plants that produce heavily need more nutrients to sustain production. Vegetables, fruit trees, small fruits such as blueberries and strawberries, and annual flowers produce larger fruit, flowers, pods, leaves, etc., when fertilized. (Although there is a fine line — too much fertilizer can encourage heavy foliar growth and spindly, rapidly growing plants.) Plants that produce very little, only produce for a short period of time, grow slowly, or are mostly ornamental generally have much lower nutrient requirements.

Organic sources and the supply chain Fertilizer is something that is added to the soil to provide nutrients.

“Organic” just means the fertilizer is derived from a natural source instead of being man-made.

Composted manure, other composted materials, plant meal products, seaweed products and rock phosphates are common examples.

Manure and compost are the most readily available and provide many benefits to the soil in addition to adding nutrients. If getting manure or compost from a noncommercial source, ask lots of questions regard-

Jennifer Smith ing practices. Manures and compost can carry unwanted residues and byproducts, especially if passed along without being properly finished.

Plant meals, seaweed or kelp, and even commercially bagged manures and compost are becoming more common options in retail centers.

One thing to keep in mind is that the products may be shipped in from hundreds of miles away, somewhat defeating the purpose of purchasing organic.

Best bets Base choices on the crop/plant and its nutrient needs. Have the soil tested to determine what nutrients are already there. Soil testing is available through local county Cooperative Extension offices, private regional labs, and home testing kits. Look for local sources of fertilizer that provide the nutrients needed and apply just enough to enhance plant growth. Look for products with actual nutrient content listed instead of just advertising soil conditioning or improvement.

For nitrogen, plant meals and animal byproducts like bat guano and fish emulsion typically provide the most nutrients. Bone meal and rock phosphate are the best organic sources for phosphorus. Alfalfa pellets and some kelp products are the best bet for supplementing potassium.

Organic fertilizers often improve drainage and microbial activity in the soil in addition to providing nutrients, which also leads to healthier plants.

Judge considers allowing man to take back juvenile waiver Defense argues defendant convicted of sex crimes against a child was misguided when waiving waiver

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff said she will consider allowing a 19-year-old Yuma, Ariz., man who pleaded guilty to multiple sex offenses in June to take back his waiver of juvenile jurisdiction in the case.

Antonio Yibran Martinez-Lopez pleaded no contest to attempted rape, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated indecent solicitation of a child. In April 2014, Huff ruled that Martinez-Lopez met the criteria to be tried as an adult after previously having been charged as a juvenile. He has been in jail since November 2013.

Each charge involved offenses alleged to have occurred before he turned 18 in August 2013.

Home sales down 14 percent

M

aybe you are like me and are looking for a new house with a gondola workshop. (My wife says a soundproof guitar room also would be nice.) Well, apparently not many were on the Lawrence market in February. The latest report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors shows Lawrence home sales in February were down nearly 12 percent compared to February 2014.

But local real estate agents had a strong January, so year-todate numbers are still up about 3 percent.

January and February aren’t really makeor-break months for the local real estate market. But we are entering a critical period.

April, May and June are really big months for the industry, so we’ll see whether the housing market can regain some momentum. The market wasn’t bad last year, but it was down slightly from 2013 totals.

Other statistics from the latest report: l The median number of days on market for a home is 64 thus far in 2015. That’s down from 84 during the same time period a

Town Talk

year ago. l The number of contracts written thus far in 2015 is up nearly 25 percent. Contracts written don’t show up as sales until the deal is finalized, but that number may be a good sign for sale numbers. l The number of homes on the market is down to 324. That’s down about 6 percent from a year ago. l Builders closely watch the number of newly-constructed homes that sell. Thus far, that segment of the market hasn’t gained much momentum. Six new homes have sold year-to-date, which is the same number as had been sold at this point in 2014.

The new home market is looking for a bounce-back year.

Sales of newly-constructed homes fell by 19 percent in 2014.

NATO struggles with Ukraine policy Brussels — The NATO alliance seems stuck at a crossroads on Ukraine, unsure whether to move toward greater confrontation with Russia or accept the deadlocked “frozen conflict” that has emerged there.

It’s a unified morass, at least, with President Obama sharing the reluctance of European leaders to escalate the crisis by providing defensive weapons to Ukraine or tightening sanctions against Russia. The U.S. tacitly backs the decision made

by European leaders here late last week to maintain the status quo — and link any easing of sanctions to implementation of the Minsk agreement that has brought a shaky truce in Ukraine.

The policy impasse was illustrated by Gen. Philip Breedlove, the NATO commander. I asked him Sunday at a conference here whether arming Kiev, which he reportedly favors, would be stabilizing or destabilizing. He indicated that he favored sending weapons, saying: “I do not think that any tool of U.S. ... power should necessarily be off the table.”

But Breedlove noted the ambiguity of the policy choice: “Could it be destabilizing? The answer is yes. Also, inaction could be destabilizing.” That answer was a snapshot of the alliance’s dilemma. Breedlove spoke at the Brussels Forum, organized by the German Marshall Fund, of which I’m a trustee.

The problem is that it’s hard to see how current sanctions policy will lead to a true de-escalation, unless Russian

“

The problem is that it’s hard to see how current sanctions policy will lead to a true de-escalation, unless Russian President Vladimir Putin has a sudden conversion.”

President Vladimir Putin has a sudden conversion. Russian analysts here say it could take years for sanctions to bite so much that they force a policy change.

Leaving aside whether a Russian economic breakdown would really be in the West’s interest, sanctions may have a perverse outcome in the near term: Rather than encouraging Putin and his cronies to change course, they may instead empower the most corrupt and conservative forces in Russia.

Sanctions had just this unintended outcome in Iraq during the 1990s, when controls that were meant to punish the regime of Saddam Hussein enfeebled the mass economy but enriched elite regime cronies who could evade sanctions.

Russians here warned that just

such a process may be underway in Russia.

NATO has learned to live with frozen conflicts near its borders, such as between Georgia and the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia; and between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Diplomatic efforts to resolve these disputes have been underway for years, with little progress.

But a frozen conflict with Russia itself would be considerably more dangerous. The status quo, with Ukraine vulnerable and sanctions continuing, would mean increasing isolation and impoverishment of a Russian economy that was foundering long before Putin annexed Crimea and triggered reprisals. Russians can probably live with a declining economy — their ability to endure suffering is part of the Russian national identity — but this course seems likely to produce a Russia that’s ever more lawless, unsteady and prone to violence, internally and externally.

The Brussels Forum discussions explored another dilemma for NATO: As a conventional military alliance, it is ill-prepared for the “hybrid warfare” Russia has waged in Ukraine, which has been closer to a paramilitary covert action to support proxy forces than to a traditional military attack.

Breedlove acknowledged this problem, and said that NATO needed to mount an “all of government” response to Moscow, including information operations and other tools that are traditionally used by intelli-

gence agencies or foreign ministries, not military alliances.

While NATO leaders recognize they need these strategies, the debate about boosting the alliance usually centers on military hardware, and whether countries are spending the promised 2 percent of GDP for defense.

The next frontier of hybrid warfare may be cyberattacks.

They pose a special challenge for NATO’s doctrine of collective self-defense because the attackers are hard to identify and the damage is usually limited in scope. Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the international affairs committee of Russia’s Federation Council, pointedly asked NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg here Friday if NATO would bomb another country in response to a cyberassault.

Stoltenberg gave a predictable nonresponse. “We will do what’s necessary to do to protect all allies. But I’m not going to tell you exactly how I’m going to do that.” His answer seemed less a calculated ambiguity than a reflection of a genuine uncertainty in NATO about just how it would find a “proportional” response in the event a member nation was attacked electronically.

Thanks to Putin, NATO now faces a clear threat to European security. But the question of how the alliance should respond is fuzzy, and it needs much more discussion. A frozen conflict can become as dangerous as a hot one.

I still hope the sites they visit and the games, particularly questionable “war games,” are monitored. Some of the games are really too violent, even though they might rate them as PG. Our children need to be reading appropriate age-level books and spending minimal time on computers and technology in general. We are going to have a generation that is lost as far as communication goes and as far as being in better health. Excessive time on the computer does hurt your eyes, and more time is needed for each child to be outdoors, especially when the weather is nice, doing some sort of outside activity, be it bike riding, rollerblading, basketball, tennis, Frisbee or just walking the trails in Lawrence.

When communication through texting, blogging, etc., is used, a certain amount of personal awareness is lost.

You cannot see a smile or a frown, hand moving or perhaps even tears of grief or joy on a computer. And, if so much time is spent on violent or war games, an indifference develops.

Children could even be out helping others, volunteering, rather than on computers or texting all day. There needs to be a move toward compassion toward others, not vengeance or revenge, which some video games display.

Rita Moses, Lawrence

To the editor: After reading the Public Forum article by Joe Douglas, March 25, I was inspired to take a look at city commission candidates’ out-of-town donations. Although it wasn’t at first readily apparent, the name Crossland came up a lot.

Ivan Crossland, wife Betty, and brother Patrick each gave $500. Six Crossland family-owned businesses (three Arkansas based businesses named Horse Barn Partners, Rogers Warehouse Development, and Rogers Warehouse Development II; one Missouri business named 8th Street Warehouse; and two Kansas businesses, named Pawnee Industrial and Midwest Development Partners) each gave the maximum allowable donation of $500. Altogether, the nine Crossland donations of $4,500 went to one candidate, making up 22-23 percent of his total $19,790 donations.

Who are the Crosslands? Ivan Crossland is on the board of directors of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, whose political action committee is heavily Koch-funded. His sister, Virginia Crossland-Macha, is the founder of Koch-backed Kansas Senior Consumer Alliance, whose focus has been to repeal existing Kansas green energy legislation. Arkansas sibling, Teresa Crossland Oelke, is vice-president of Americans For Prosperity, the main political arm of Charles and David Koch.

Why are out-of-area and out-ofstate people and their companies investing so heavily in our local election? Why are they focusing their support with one candidate? How are they intertwined with the Koch brothers?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 28, 1915: “During the past few days all of the automobiles in town have been busy carrying people about town duryears ing the warm days and evenings. The people ago of the south part of town are again troubled IN 1915 with speeders who think that South Massachusetts was made for a speedway. The people of the south side want it thoroughly understood that the place is in town and they are protected by the city ordinances.”

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for l Accurate and fair news reporting.

No mixing of editorial opinion with reporting of the news. l Safeguarding the rights of all citizens regardless of race, creed or economic stature. l Sympathy and understanding for all who are disadvantaged or oppressed. l Exposure of any dishonesty in public affairs. l Support of projects that make our community a better place to live. l

In a final ruling, Italy’s highest court on Friday overturned the convictions of American Amanda Knox and her former Italian boyfriend in the sensational murder case of Knox’s British roommate.

The six judges announced their decision about 10:30 p.m. in Rome (5:30 p.m. ET). They began deliberating at noon after closing arguments by lawyers for Raffaele Sollecito, Knox’s boyfriend when Meredith Kercher, 21, was stabbed to death.

The ruling, which struck down last year’s guilty verdicts by a Florence appeals court, closes the eight-year case.

The USA TODAY judges con- Amanda Knox cluded the evidence did not support a conviction. Their reasoning will be released within 90 days.

Knox, 27, did not return to Italy from her Seattle home for the appeal.

“I am tremendously relieved and grateful for the decision of the Supreme Court of Italy,” the 27-year-old Knox said in a statement. “The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of this ordeal.”

Knox was studying in Italy when Kercher was found dead of multiple knife wounds in the flat they shared in Peruggia. Authorities determined she had been sexually assaulted, and her throat had been slashed.

Under police questioning, Knox said she was in the flat and heard the murder but did not participate. She later recanted, saying she gave the statement under duress.

Knox, then-boyfriend Sollecito and Rudy Guede were charged with the murder. Guede, whose DNA was found on Kercher’s body, was convicted of murder in 2008. The native of the Ivory Coast is serving 16 years in an Italian prison.

In 2009, an Italian court convicted Knox and Sollecito, now 30, of murder. Knox was sentenced to 28½ years in prison, Sollecito to 25. Both served four years before an appeals court overturned their convictions and acquitted them in 2011.

States defend gay-marriage bans as democratic actions Mich., Ohio, Ky., Tenn. file arguments Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The justices will address two questions during oral argument: whether the 14th Amendment requires states to marry gay as well as heterosexual couples, and whether they must recognize marriages from other states.

Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit same-sex marriage — more than half of them because of court orders as opposed to democratic processes. Thirteen states ban the practice.

2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Ted Cruz raises $2 million for White House bid Texas Republican relies on complex digital strategy Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY SEDAT SUNA, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Protesters rally March 11 in Istanbul. The Turkish government is targeting political dissent.

Turkish leaders expand free speech crackdown Social media users, teens targeted for insulting top officials Lucy Kafanov

Special for USA TODAY

A high school student, a former beauty queen and a slew of Turkish journalists are among a growing number of people facing prison sentences for engaging in political dissent, part of what critics say is a widening government crackdown on free speech.

In the last week alone, Turkish authorities questioned, detained or indicted more than a dozen people accused of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which is forbidden by law.

Though Turkish journalists who run afoul of the government have long complained of censorship, ordinary citizens, including teenagers, are increasingly facing harsh penalties and jail time.

“There’s been a huge escalation in punishment for speech,” said Nate Schenkkan, a Turkey expert at Freedom House, a Washington ISTANBUL

group that encourages democracy. “President Erdoğan is visibly and clearly seeking to consolidate power under himself.”

A key U.S. ally in a volatile region and NATO member, Turkey was until the past couple of years held up as a model democracy.

But the latest restrictions have drawn rebuke from Washington lawmakers. Citing intimidation of

media and censorship, 74 senators last week called on the State Department to take up the issue with the Erdoğan administration.

The Turkish Journalists’ Association this week reported the government has filed more than 100 lawsuits against at least 60 reporters since 2013.

Tuesday, two cartoonists with the satirical magazine Penguen were convicted and fined $2,700

each for insulting Erdoğan in a caricature.

Turkey’s insult laws have been on the books for years, but analysts say they’ve been used more aggressively since Erdoğan became the country’s first directly elected president in August.

Merve Buyuksarac, a 2006 Miss Turkey winner, faces up to two years in prison for sharing a poem on Instagram that prosecutors claim insults the president.

The same fate could await a 16year-old on trial for insulting Erdoğan at a student protest.

Last week, the parliament approved Internet controls allowing Cabinet members to block websites without a court order.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu defended Turkey’s censorship record in January, saying, “Freedom of expression does not mean freedom to insult.”

Some say authorities seek to stifle dissent before general elections June 7.

“The political authority’s ultimate aim is to control social media platforms in a very strict fashion,” said Asli Tunc, a professor at Istanbul Bilgi University.

Sen. Ted Cruz, the first major Republican candidate to declare his White House candidacy, raised $2 million during the first three days of his presidential campaign — as his team deployed a mix of complex social media strategy and behavioral analytics to reach and sway potential donors.

Hours before his announcement speech Monday in Lynchburg, Va., Cruz tweeted the news that he was running for president. That day, he had 5.7 million interactions on Facebook. Nearly two-thirds of his fundraising haul has flowed in through the Internet, aided be- Cruz hind the scenes by a team of data scientists who closely monitor social media and digital traffic to determine who’s reading their messages, who’s sharing them and who’s clicking through to his website and taking action.

The communication is twoway. Relying on marketing techniques common in the world of commerce, Cruz’s team has tailored its Web advertising to reach seven different “psychographic” clusters — groups of people with similar attitudes, personalities and interests. It has crafted 17 different advertising messages to reach those potential donors.

For instance, pro-gun “traditionalists” saw online banner ads with a grandfather and grandson WASHINGTON

heading out to hunt, while another targeted people concerned about personal safety with an image of a home break-in. Another talked about “bringing ... faith in God back to America” to attract religious conservatives. They all directed people to visit www.tedcruz.org.

“Our entire culture here is to build engagement,” said Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe. If a potential supporter first visited the Cruz website via her tablet Tuesday evening during the Texas senator’s interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, the campaign will direct online ads to that voter’s device during the evening hours.

In all, Cruz hopes to raise $40 million to $50 million by March 2016.

The Cruz rollout is the latest sign that the world of data analytics is fast taking root in American politics — as candidates race to build a digital strategy for a BLOOMBERG contest that will require each party’s nominee to raise at least $1 billion.

Increasingly, political campaigns are “targeting people based on their hopes, dreams, worries, fears and motivation,” said Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center.

However, all the data-crunching in the world would not succeed without Cruz also having a message and persona that appeals to some voters, she said.

“If this were all about high-altitude baking techniques, nothing would come of it,” Rutledge said.

“He’s managed to tap into the underdog archetype.”

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton is likely to announce her candidacy soon.

CRASH OF GERMANWINGS FLIGHT 9525

Tragedy shows fallibility of pilot checks But industry says screening record has been good Bart Jansen and Thomas Frank USA TODAY

Pilots, airlines and regulators say they have effective ways to deal with commercial pilots suffering mental illness — but no method is infallible.

The apparently deliberate crash of a Germanwings flight Tuesday prompted calls for greater psychological testing for pilots.

Industry experts say regular medical exams and the flexibility for mental health treatment are part of what keeps aviation one of the safest ways to travel.

“When you look at aircraft accidents over time, it’s an extremely small percentage that have a physical or mental problem associated with that accident,” said James Vanderploeg, professor of aerospace medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

The Federal Aviation Administration requires medical exams by specially certified doctors for pilots every year for those younger than 40 and every six months for older. Pilots must report any physical or psychological conditions and medications, and doctors ask mental health questions.

Besides checking heart, vision and hearing, Vanderploeg said, he asks about any change in sleep patterns, eating patterns, divorces or problems with children. He probes deeper with new patients or looks for behavioral clues in familiar patients.

“It’s more of an interview type of approach, but it includes the mental health status as well as the physical exam,” he said.

Mental health issues used to prohibit an airline pilot from keeping his certificate. The FAA began in April 2010 allowing pilots to keep flying under treatment with four anti-depressants:

“We’re under constant observation and re-evaluation, not only for our skills but for our health.”

Mike Karn, president of the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations

Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft and Celexa. Pilots undergo medical exams at least once a year that involve psychological reviews intended to disqualify people with personality disorders, bipolar disorder or a history of substance abuse.

“We’re under constant observation and re-evaluation, not only for our skills but for our health,” said Mike Karn, president of the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations and an American Airlines pilot. “Pilots are very attentive to each other.”

Mark Bogosian, also an American pilot and author of Never Again: A Self-Defense Guide for the Flying Public, said pilots who are paired for a flight start interacting as soon as they begin their preflight checks. “We’re watching each other, we monitor each oth-

er, we monitor the procedures.

The two pilots pay attention to everything that’s going on in the cockpit,” Bogosian said.

Commercial pilots often get to know each other well. Sometimes they are paired with pilots they have never met and whose personalities are unfamiliar. U.S. passenger and cargo airlines employ about 75,000 pilots and co-pilots.

Delta and United airlines both employ more than 10,000 pilots and co-pilots.

The Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots’ union, said in a statement, “All flight and cabin crewmembers monitor and evaluate each other while on duty, and procedures, processes and programs exist to respond should a concern arise.”

Airlines referred questions about their psychological screening to their industry group, Airlines for America.

“All airlines can and do conduct fitness-for-duty testing on pilots if warranted,” the group said. “As evidenced by our safety record, the U.S. airline industry remains the largest and safest aviation system in the world.”

Concerns about the mental health of pilots grew after the copilot of a Germanwings flight, Andreas Lubitz, deliberately crashed Tuesday in the French Alps after

locking the captain out of the cockpit, investigators say.

Torn-up sick notes for the day of his crash found in his apartment “support the current preliminary assessment that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues,” Düsseldorf prosecutors’ office spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said Friday.

Prosecutors didn’t say what type of illness — mental or physical — Lubitz may have suffered from. German media reported Friday that the 27-year-old had suffered from depression.

A Düsseldorf hospital confirmed Friday that Lubitz had been a patient there over the past two months.

The number of deliberate crashes during a century of commercial aviation is extremely small, all involving foreign airlines.

Janice Kirchhof, 60, of Springfield, Mo., said it was devastating to lose her uncle and aunt, Robert and Sharon Fitzpatrick, in one of those cases involving EgyptAir Flight 990.

The National Transportation Safety Board found no problems with the plane in the crash in 1999 and ruled that a relief pilot intentionally steered the plane into the ocean near Nantucket.

The Egyptian government disputed the conclusion.

“What triggers people to do something horrible like this?”

Kirchhof said. “I truly believe that pilots or co-pilots should go through mental evaluations every year.”

Vanderploeg said the cases are so rare that blanket psychological testing for airline pilots would be of negligible value.

A cockpit voice recorder recovered from the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 revealed “very smooth, very cool” conversation in the cockpit before the pilot was locked out, according to The New York Times.

Obama launches war on bacteria Antibiotic misuse a key issue in rise of fatal infections

Jim Norman

@usatoday_polls USA TODAY

Gregory Korte On Polling looks at trends concerning two Democratic Party powerhouses and how Americans feel about the plethora of spring sports.

PUBLIC DOESN’T LIKE REID Senate minority leader Harry Reid announced this week that he will retire when his term ends in 2016. Less than half the public had an opinion on Reid when he became majority leader after Democrats gained control of the Senate in 2006, but among those who did, he was more liked than disliked. A USA TODAY/Gallup poll in November that year showed 27% had a favorable opinion, while 19% viewed him unfavorably.

His unfavorable ratings began to climb after Barack Obama’s presidential win in 2008 and peaked in a USA TODAY/Gallup poll just before the 2010 elections: 29% favorable/45% unfavorable.

Reid’s unpopularity has dropped some since then, but in a USA TODAY/Pew poll in December, 41% still had an unfavorable view of Reid, and 20% had a favorable view.

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama says he has a plan to combat the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections responsible for about 23,000 deaths and 2 million illnesses in the USA every year.

His administration proposes a series of measures to crack down on over-prescribing, develop alternative medicines and track infection outbreaks.

“What’s remarkable is the federal government never had a plan like this before,” said Eric Lander, co-chairman of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science

and Technology. “Now there’s something concrete to point to, and you’re going to have to hold our feet to the fire to make sure this all gets done.”

The efforts are not without cost: Obama’s proposed 2016 budget asks Congress to double funding for combating and preventing antibiotic resistance to more than $1.2 billion.

“This plan spells out exactly where the money will go, so I’m urging Congress to pass a budget that will help save lives,” Obama said at a meeting with his scientific advisers. “We can’t do this without Congress.”

Among the strategies: uRein in misuse of antibiotics: The plan calls for improving prescribing practices among doctors and veterinarians. It would prohibit the use of certain medically important antibiotics in livestock production by the end of 2016.

“It will be illegal to use those

antibiotics. Illegal — it’s not a suggestion,” said Lander, a biology professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. uIncrease EPA monitoring: Obama Hospitals receiving Medicare funding would be required to submit data on antibiotic use and resistance, and the government would establish regional labs to test bacteria specimens. “Ideally, we’d be able to see in real-time where the cases of drug resistance are being reported, so we can take swift action,” Obama told the health advice site Web MD. uDevelop new antibiotics.

The administration is focusing on antibiotics to replace those that are no longer effective and other drugs that can encourage growth

in animals without antibiotics.

“Vaccines is one of the areas that doesn’t get much attention. And it is one very logical alternative to antibiotics,” said Steven Kappes of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. uEngage globally: The plan calls for sharing data and practices with other countries and for import regulations to ensure the safety of antibiotics used in poorer countries.

The plan quickly drew criticism.

“The administration has fallen woefully short of taking meaningful action to curb the overuse of antibiotics in healthy food animals,” said Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., who has a degree in microbiology. She’s sponsoring a bill that would further restrict the use of antibiotics in animals for food.

REID RETIREMENT SETS DEMOCRATS SCRAMBLING Schumer declares intention to run for leadership Susan Davis USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., decided to retire at the end of his fifth term. His surprise announcement Friday sparked a fast-moving shake-up of his party’s leadership team for the next Congress.

Reid, the shrewd 75-year-old Nevadan who has led Democrats since 2005, said he will not seek a sixth term to the Senate.

Reid tweeted his announce-

ment and posted a short video.

The senator, who suffered broken bones and a nasty injury that could cause him to lose vision in his right eye, said he wasn’t leaving because of his injuries from a New Year’s Day workout accident or dissatisfaction with the Senate.

“I have had time to ponder and to think. We’ve got to be more concerned about the country, the Senate, the state of Nevada than about ourselves,” he said. “And as a result of that I’m not going to run for re-election.”

Reid, ever the tactician, moved quickly Friday to position New York Sen. Charles Schumer, one of his top deputies, as the next Democratic leader.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Reid endorsed Schumer as his successor and

said he believed Sen. Dick Durbin, Reid’s No. 2 as Senate minority whip, would not oppose the New York senator’s bid. Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman confirmed the endorsement to USA TODAY. Durbin, D-Ill., likewise endorsed Schumer by Friday afternoon.

By late afternoon, Schumer formally declared his intention to run. “I am honored and humbled to have the support of so many of my colleagues and look forward to our Senate Democratic Caucus continuing to fight for the middle class,” he said in a statement.

The moves could elevate up the leadership ladder another Reid deputy, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. Murray had not commented on her intentions by Fri-

day afternoon, but she traveled to the West Coast before a two-week congressional recess.

Speculation on who would succeed Reid has long centered on Schumer, an ambitious and wellconnected lawmaker whose two terms at the helm of the Democrats’ campaign operation helped the party capture the Senate majority in 2006 and grow it in 2008. In a statement Friday, Schumer praised Reid as “one of the best human beings I’ve ever met.”

A surprise bid by someone such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — who enjoys support from the party’s liberal base — could rock a leadership race, but Warren’s office made clear that she would not run for leader.

IN BRIEF NYC FIRE TOLL RISES TO 22 INJURED, 2 STILL MISSING

The toll from the blaze that devastated Manhattan’s East Village area rose to 22 people injured and two missing Friday.

Four of the injured remained in critical condition at hospitals 24 hours after a suspected gas explosion rocked the area and triggered a seven-alarm blaze that firefighters continued to mop up Friday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said during a news conference. De Blasio said investigators focused on possible “inappropriate accessing” of the gas line to one of three buildings destroyed by the disaster. He praised firefighters, police and other emergency responders.

No fatalities were reported, but two people who had been at a sushi restaurant in one of the buildings were missing.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., promised to bring the “doc fix” to a vote shortly after Congress returns from its recess April 13.

Senate leaders plan to prevent

any payment cuts from taking effect even though the payment system expires Wednesday.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says it takes a minimum of 14 days to pay claims from doctors, giving senators just enough time to act before any checks go out.

BOKO HARAM MAY SPELL DEFEAT FOR NIGERIA LEADER

Friday, Nigeria’s military claimed to destroy the headquarters of Boko Haram in the northeastern town of Gwoza, but it wasn’t possible to verify the victory, the Associated Press reported.

Nearly 1 million refugees have fled northern Nigeria for neighboring countries in the past year.

They’ve spread word about the Nigerian army’s failure to halt the militant group’s attacks and kidnappings under President Goodluck Jonathan’s leadership.

Polls in Africa’s most populous country predicted Muhammadu Buhari, a former army general who served as Nigeria’s president after a military coup in the early 1980s, will handily win today’s election.

Jonathan is already talking as if he has accepted defeat.

“For all of us who want to serve, we should be ready to serve, but we should not be desperate to serve our people,” Jonathan said recently at a launch of his biography.

Gilead — whose hepatitis C treatment, Sovaldi, can cost patients up to $84,000 for a 12-week treatment — said Friday in its annual proxy filing that Martin received compensation valued at $18.9 million and gained $187.4 million from previously awarded stock options and restricted shares. The company has come under fire for compensation practices.

NUMBER OF THE DAY: That’s how much U.S. consumer spending grew in the fourth quarter, the largest gain since 2006, the Commerce Department said Friday. The economy still slowed last quarter, growing at just a 2.2% seasonally adjusted annual rate. That was unchanged from last month’s revised estimate and a drop from Q3’s 5% annualized pace.

FORD PAID FORMER CEO MORE THAN CURRENT CHIEF Ford Motor paid former CEO Alan Mulally more last year than the current CEO, even though Mulally retired in July and the current EPA chief, Mark Fields, worked at Ford all year in executive jobs. Fields earned $18.6 million in salary, bonus and stock grants and options in 2014.

The payday was up 82% over the previous year. Mulally’s compensation package was $22 million, including a new Ford Taurus sedan.

JURY RULES AGAINST ELLEN PAO IN CASE Company cleared of discriminating on gender basis Elizabeth Weise USATODAY

ALTERA SHARES UP ON INTEL BUYOUT RUMORS Shares of computer chipmakers Intel and Altera were up big Friday on buyout rumors. “The Wall Street Journal” reported that Intel is in talks to buy Altera in a deal likely to top Altera’s market value of $10.4 billion. The deal, if it happens, would be unusual for Intel, which tends to do lots of smaller deals. Its biggest buyout was its purchase in 2010 of computer security firm McAfee for nearly $8 billion, says S&P Capital IQ. Shares of Intel rose $1.92, or 6.4%, to $32, while Altera closed up $9.83, or 28%, to $44.41. Intel had no comment.

SAN FRANCISCO A jury ruled against Ellen Pao on Friday in her sex discrimination case against venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

The jury found that Kleiner Perkins did not discriminate against Pao on the basis of gender, did not keep her from a promotion due to her gender, took reasonable steps to prevent gender discrimination at the firm and did not retaliate against her for complaining about gender discrimination.

“Today’s verdict reaffirms that Ellen Pao's claims have no legal merit. We are grateful to the jury for its careful examination of the facts,” Kleiner Perkins said in a DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVG. statement.

few muted gasps in the room.

Next came a hiccup on the question of whether or not Pao was retaliated against because she wrote a memo about what she believed was gender discrimination at the firm or because she eventually filed a lawsuit against the firm.

The jury forewoman initially told Judge Harold Kahn that the jury had found that Pao was not retaliated against for speaking up about discrimination at the firm.

Kahn then polled the jury to get each juror’s vote on the rec-

Ellen Pao lost on all four counts in her lawsuit.

ord. When he did, the vote on the fourth claim of retaliation was eight for no, she was not retaliated against, and four for yes, she was. In civil court, a three-quarters vote, which would be at least nine for no, is required.

The judge told the jury to return to deliberations. About two hours later, the jury returned with a 9-3 verdict against Pao on the retaliation claim.

Pao’s suit asked for $16 million in lost wages and future earnings, as well as a possible $144 million in punitive damages.

Pao joined Kleiner in 2005 as chief of staff to John Doerr, a highly regarded general partner at the firm. She began to transition into a role as junior investing partner beginning in 2010.

She was fired Oct. 1, 2012.

Kleiner said she didn’t have what it took to be a senior investment partner.

In her lawsuit, Pao accused the powerful firm of not promoting her to senior partner because she was a woman and retaliating against her after she began talking with senior staff about what she said were problems with sex discrimination beginning in December 2011.

Kleiner’s stance was that Pao was part of a general “up or out” system at the firm, where many junior partners worked at the firm over the years, but few were promoted to senior partner.

Even though Pao lost, the trial was a win for women, said Joan Williams, an expert on gender law and professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.

“There’s no turning back,” she said.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Friday the central bank will raise interest rates only gradually because of persistent slack in the labor market, the risks of another economic downturn and vestiges of the Great Recession.

She said that although the Fed doesn’t need inflation to pick up before raising its benchmark rate, a further significant weakening of inflation or wage growth would make her “uncomfortable” with a rate hike. “I generally anticipate that a rather gradual rise in the federal funds rate will be appropriate over the next few years,” Yellen said in a speech at the San Francisco Fed. The Fed’s key rate has hovered near zero since the financial crisis of 2008 despite unemployment reaching a near-normal 5.5%, down from 10% in 2009.

Last week, the Fed dropped an assurance to be patient as it considered an initial rate hike, but it suggested it’s in no hurry to act. Its projections show the first hike is likely in September, and rates will rise about a percentage point AFP/GETTY IMAGES each year, Yellen about half the pace of previous rate-hike cycles.

Yellen said economic rules that say interest rates should be higher don’t apply because “appreciable slack still remains in the labor market.” The ranks of part-time workers who prefer full-time jobs remains high, and many discouraged workers aren’t even looking for work.

Yellen cited studies that show the economy may grow more slowly in coming years because of more limited productivity gains from technological advances.

Another reason to boost rates gradually, she said, is that if growth were to falter, the Fed would be hard-pressed to respond because its benchmark rate is near zero. Also, she said, the Fed might be reluctant to resume bond purchases to hold down long-term rates because its balance sheet is already bloated.

She said the effects of the recession have been so severe they’ve held back business investment, limited firm formation and prompted workers to leave the labor force. “Some of these effects might be reversed in a tight labor market, yielding long-term benefits associated with a more productive economy,” Yellen said.

As a result, she said, the Fed could allow the unemployment rate to decline “for a time somewhat below estimates of its longrun sustainable level.”

You know the type: Steely-eyed investors who buy when all others are fearful. People who dare to put their money at risk when all others quail. Bold. Brave. Unflinching.

Unfortunately, that’s not you.

The last time you read the financial news, you hid under your bed for a week. Your mice have more courage than you do.

But not all stock mutual funds are stuffed with technology startups and nitroglycerin. Some funds with very good records like to keep considerable cash reserves — and if you’re looking for a stock fund in the sixth year of a massive bull market, these funds are worth considering.

Few stock funds hold much cash in a bull market. The average stock fund has 3.7% of its assets in cash. After all, when stocks are rising, every bit of money that’s not in the stock market works against you. Why would any manager raise cash?

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

The economy grew at a 2.2% pace in the final three months of 2014 — a tad below expectations — and sluggish U.S. growth is likely to continue in the first quarter of 2015.

Still, the slowing growth at the start of the new year, due in large part to wicked wintry weather and a drag on U.S. exports due to the strong rally in the U.S. dollar vs. foreign currencies, isn’t signaling major problems ahead for the U.S. economy, at least not yet.

It’s probably just a soft patch.

Growth will probably pick up as the year moves along, says Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust.

Tilley sees continued economic expansion. He expects firstquarter growth of 1.8%, and forecasts full-year 2015 growth of 3%.

Wary of funds? Try these decent bets v CONTINUED FROM 5B

Another fund closed to new investors is Sequoia, a value fund of near-legendary proportions. It has about 13% of its portfolio in Berkshire Hathaway, run by Warren Buffet. It also has 13% in cash.

You can invest in both funds if you already own shares. If not, you’ll have to wait.

Some top-performing funds with lots of cash are still open for investment: Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX). The fund invests in stocks whose price is $35 or less,

which is not exactly a value metric. A stock can be extravagantly priced at $10 a share. But longtime manager Joel Tillinghast looks for stocks that are not only cheap in price, but cheap relative to earnings and other metrics.

The fund has grown to $47 billion and raised its definition of “low-priced” from $10 a share to $35. It soars coming out of bear markets and typically falls less than its peers when the market is falling. The past decade, it has outperformed 82% of its peers. It has about 11.5% of its portfolio — more than $5 billion — in cash.

Weitz Partners III Opportunity (WPOIX). It’s run by Buffet’s neighbor, Wallace Weitz (well, he lives in Omaha) and is highly concentrated, with just 39 holdings, including a 7.8% slug of Berkshire Hathaway. The fund makes limited bets on stocks it thinks will fall. The past five years, it has beaten 60% of its peers, and carries a whopping 30% cash position, according to Morningstar.

Red sky at night for ocean liner firm’s shares Q: Is Carnival stock ready to cruise?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Carnival has been a rough stock to ride. But investors seem to think the worst of the turbulence is behind it.

Carnival is a leading cruise ship operator with brands such as Carnival Cruise and Princess Cruises.

Waves of bad news around 2012 put the stock on an ugly journey. The most notable tragedy was the disaster in January 2012 when Carnival’s Costa Concordia sank on its side, killing and injuring scores of passengers. Shares of the company lost about a third of their value from the peak in early 2011 to shortly after the Costa Concordia event. The company has been working its way back, and investors see opportunity.

Carnival reported a quarterly adjusted profit of 20 cents a share, which beat expectations by 122%, says S&P Capital IQ. Revenue for the quarter hit $3.5 billion, down 1% from year-ago levels and a tad below expectations.

The company was cautious with guidance about the current quarter, but analysts expect the turnaround is afloat.

Adjusted profit for the current fiscal year is likely to rise 28% to $2.51 a share.

That’s easily in the range presented by the company.

If Carnival can hit this earnings target for the year, the stock is worth $50.97 a share in 18 months, according to analysts. That would be 8% upside.

chael Green looks for companies selling for less than his estimate of their intrinsic value — or what the company would fetch in a private sale. It has beaten 82% of its peers the past three years.

Parnassus Mid-Cap (PARMX).

Moriningstar rates this fund as a “blend,” meaning it goes for GARP (growth at a reasonable price). Managers Matthew Gershuny and Lori Keith also look for companies that treat employees and the environment decently. It keeps about 10.5% of its assets in cash and has beaten 65% of its peers the past five years.

Boyar Value (BOYAX). This tiny ($24.7 million) fund holds nearly 14% of its assets in cash.

The Boyar Group has managed money since 1975 and created its fund for smaller clients.

Documentarian changed his approach as he realized he didn’t have ending Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Ken Burns’ new documentary, Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, marks a contrast to his historical documentaries on the Civil War or the Roosevelt presidencies: The story of cancer doesn’t have an ending.

Burns, the film’s executive producer, says his approach changed as he learned more about the history of cancer research and the challenges facing doctors and patients. “When we first started talking about it, we had this unbelievable optimism that we were on this cusp” of a new era, he says. Over time, “we began to realize how many times people had said, ‘The cure is around the corner.’ ” The three-part PBS documentary opens with a parade of presidents predicting imminent progress. Initial excitement often gives way to the sinking realization that cancer is vastly more

complicated than even top scientists had realized.

Cancer patients often experience the same highs and lows during therapies. The film weaves stories of several as they endure punishing treatments or wrestle with life-changing decisions.

The filmmakers spent months with patients, not knowing whether they would survive. Not all did.

“It was important to all of us not to shy away from the ugliness of cancer and the toll it takes,” director Barak Goodman says.

In the 1940s, parents of children with leukemia had to decide whether to allow their children to join clinical trials of the first chemotherapies, led by a pioneering Boston doctor named Sidney Farber. He knew his medicines were forms of poison, but he balanced their risks with the knowledge that his young patients faced certain death from leukemia, Goodman says.

The story of cancer isn’t a steady, inevitable climb toward a cure, but one of “zigzags and fail-

ures and intuition and guesswork and luck,” Goodman says. “There is this temptation to see these ups and downs as a zero-sum game, and you’re back where you started. But every time we fail, we get closer, and we learn from it.”

Today, doctors can cure 80% of childhood cancers, says oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning book is the basis for the film.

Overall, cancer mortality rates for people of all ages have declined 20% over the past two decades.

Yet therapies for the most aggressive kinds of pediatric leukemia can leave children with brain damage. The filmmakers follow the family of 14-month-old Olivia Blair as they wrestle with whether to subject her to such risky therapy.

The film, Goodman says, is “a good-news story. Where we end up ... is a place of a lot of hope, and hard-won hope that has come at the cost of a lot of lives.”

Ken Burns and Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of all Maladies, speak at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

NEW YORK Director/choreographer Warren Carlyle has lent his talents to numerous musical productions on Broadway, among them After Midnight, which earned him a Tony Award last year, and this spring’s revival of On the Twentieth Century.

There’s one chorus line in particular he’s long yearned to work with.

“It’s always been on my bucket list to choreograph the Rockettes,” says Carlyle, who goes to Radio City Music Hall each year to watch the leggy ladies kick in perfect unison in the long-running Christmas Spectacular. Carlyle is living his dream, helming Radio City Music Hall’s brand new New York Spring Spectacular, which opened at that storied venue Thursday.

JASON ALLEN, USA TODAY

The Rockettes perform at Radio City Music Hall’s brand new New York Spring Spectacular, which opened Thursday.

Jim Dolan, executive chairman of Radio City’s parent company, Madison Square Garden, describes the new show as being “in the style of the grand productions of spectaculars that Radio City was known to put on in the 1930s and ’40s.”

The Spring Spectacular, a joint production of MSG Entertainment and Weinstein Live Entertainment, is also very much of its

time, embracing contemporary pop culture while nodding fondly to the past. Various comedy, sports, media and fashion stars have lent their voices or appear in video clips, and the music ranges from original tunes to hits by Beyoncé, Jessie J and Taylor Swift and golden oldies such as The Way You Look Tonight and Singin’ in the Rain.

The latter standard is featured

in one particularly splashy production number Carlyle conceived “primarily for the Rockettes,” though it’s also become a showcase for leading man Derek Hough of Dancing With the Stars fame and co-star Jared Grimes, who worked with Carlyle in After Midnight.

In the scene (which includes strains of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head), Hough, Grimes and the Rockettes tap-dance exuberantly as 500 gallons of water pour down on them.

They wield umbrellas, and the women wear daffodil-yellow raincoats with bright purple trim and matching boots fitted with waterproof mikes.

“I knew that I wanted all of the ladies dancing — and that they wouldn’t appear like divorced housewives in raincoats,” Carlyle quips. “In my mind, you never see the Rockettes as normal creatures. You always want to see them as magical.”

Hough says, “It’s incredible to be on that massive stage and to be part of something as iconic as the Rockettes, doing something that’s new and kind of risky.”

Rabb down to two; KU out

FREE STATE TRACK AND FIELD

Right on track

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Ivan Rabb, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound senior power forward from Bishop O’Dowd High in Oakland, California, has narrowed his college choices to California and Arizona and could pick Cal as early as today, several recruiting services have reported.

Rabb, who is ranked No. 8 nationally by Rivals.com, said previously he would visit Kansas University and UCLA before making a decision. Kentucky also was on his original list of schools.

“At the end of the day, I think I can go to a school and play right away,” Rabb told cal.rivals.com in a recent interview. “There’s nothing wrong with competition, but of course at the same time I want to make sure I’m going to a place where I’m going to play right away. It’s more about the school overall, but I definitely care who’s staying and who’s leaving.”

Rabb averages 25.0 points (71 percent shooting, 75 percent from line), 15.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocks a game entering today’s state title contest against Mater Dei. It has been speculated he may announce after that game.

California coach Cuonzo Martin is also battling KU and others for No. 2-ranked Jaylen Brown, a 6-7 senior small forward from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia.

Brown is also considering Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan, UCLA, Georgia and Georgia Tech. l

Stone commits to Turg: Maryland head coach/former KU guard Mark Turgeon on Friday received a commitment from Diamond Stone, a 6-10, 253-pound senior center from Dominican High in Milwaukee.

Stone, who is ranked No. 6 by Rivals.com, had been said to be leaning toward Wisconsin. He also had UConn and Oklahoma State on his list. He announced his decision on Twitter, bypassing any lavish newsconference setting.

Stone averaged 24.6 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.0 blocks as a senior. l

Recruits back on market: No. 41-ranked Brandon Sampson, a 6-4 senior shooting guard from Madison High in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has reopened his recruitment following the dismissal of coach Steve Lavin at St. John’s. He originally picked St. John’s over USC, California, LSU, Oklahoma State and Oregon. ... Virginia Tech’s leading scorer, junior guard Adam Smith, has announced plans to transfer.

The former UNC Wilmington player averaged 13.4 ppg this past season. He will graduate in May, thus will not have to sit out a season in accordance with transfer rules. l

FREE STATE’S GABBI DABNEY COMPETES in the girls 100-meter hurdles during a track meet Friday at FSHS. Dabney won the event.

Firebirds find success in opening meet

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The start of track season has been a rocky one for Free State senior Ryan Liston, but no one would be able to tell by how he competed in the FSHS Invitational on Friday.

Liston won the boys 3,200 meters and helped Free State take first in the 4x800 relay, but his biggest victory was just being healthy enough to compete in the Firebirds’ first meet.

“I actually split my toe open and wasn’t able to run

over spring break,” Liston said. “At the beginning of this week, I started running again because I got my stitches out.

We had a workout, which was doing 800s, and on the first and second 800, the tendon that connects my shin to my knee was hurting really bad. So I told my coach, and I went up to the trainer, and she looked at it and iced it and stuff and said because I split my toe open, I had been limping on my foot, so I was putting pressure on different parts of my knee to overcompensate.”

Liston, who injured his toe in a freak accident as he was getting up from his bed, was quick to credit his teammates in both events, as senior Cole Stallard took the lead on the anchor leg of the 4x800 relay to defeat Olathe East, and senior Thomas Becker finished less than a second behind him in the 3,200. “(Becker) has helped me pace before like last year in the two-mile,” Liston said. “If I was feeling a little off, he’d make sure to get in front of me and start me back up.”

The Firebird boys added

six second-place finishes in their season debut, including sophomore Zack Sanders being the runner-up in the 110 and 300 hurdles.

“Zack Sanders for the hurdles ran really well,” FSHS coach Jordan Rose said. “I thought it was really fun for him to come out and step into that role, so that was nice.”

Texas blanks KU softball

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Nationally ranked and riding a 10-game winning streak, Kansas University’s softball team picked a poor time to put out what coach Megan Smith described as the Jayhawks’ worst effort of the season.

Texas rolled, 6-0, in KU’s Big 12 opener Friday night at the new Arrocha Ballpark, at Rock Chalk Park, where the No. 22 Jayhawks never really looked like themselves.

The top of the first inning lasted nearly 20 minutes for Kansas (29-3) and se-

nior pitcher Alicia Pille. She walked two batters and surrendered a fielder’s choice before UT’s Erin Shireman smashed a three-run homer into the parking lot behind the left-field wall. Marlee Gabaldon drove in a fourth Texas run with a single to left, following a throwing error by KU shortstop Chaley Brickey.

“The Big 12’s tough, but we didn’t show up today.

Bottom line,” Smith said.

“I was really disappointed with our lack of effort and lack of grit.”

Pille (18-1), who suffered her first loss of the season,

left after the second inning, when the Longhorns’ Lindsey Stephens plated a fifth Texas run on a sacrifice fly to deep right field.

Smith had no concerns about her ace’s health.

“She just gave away a couple bases and threw a fat pitch, and that’s what happens at this level,” the KU coach said.

Kansas at least salvaged something positive out of an otherwise forgettable night: Sophomore pitcher Sophia John Young/Journal-World Photo Templin replaced Pille and set career highs with five KANSAS UNIVERSITY THIRD BASEMAN Chanin Naudin charges to field a bunt by Texas on Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C Friday at Arrocha Ballpark.

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There wasn’t anything Lawrence High baseball players could do against Topeka Seaman junior pitcher Ryan Zeferjahn on Friday.

Zeferjahn was locked in, and he never let up.

Zeferjahn, a 6-foot-4 righthander who has committed to play at Kansas University, struck out 11 in six perfect innings, leading the Vikings to a 10-0 victory and a combined no-hitter to spoil the Lions’ home opener.

“That was pretty impressive. Very impressive,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said

of Zeferjahn. “Hats off to him. He was filthy. He reached back and got a little something extra on the fastball when he needed it, which is a mark of a special player.”

Seaman coach Steve Bushnell considered sending Zeferjahn back out for the seventh inning for an opportunity to complete a perfect game, but when the Vikings scored seven runs in the top of the seventh inning, he had an easy decision considering the cold weather and how early it is in the season.

Royals enter season with new expectations Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Every once in a while, Ned Yost will spin a story about his days on Bobby Cox’s bench with the Atlanta Braves, back when the organization was winning NL pennants by the fistful.

Inevitably, Yost would start drawing comparisons to his Kansas City Royals — that they were building through the farm system in the same manner as the Braves, and Kansas City would embrace the franchise in the same way Atlanta did if it ever became a winner.

Last year, that narrative finally made sense.

After squeaking into the playoffs as a wild card, the Royals swept all the way to the World Series. If not for a virtuoso performance by Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants, the Royals might very well have been celebrating

their second championship.

The postseason run led Yost to draw one more comparison when he arrived in Arizona for the start of a new season, and his players filed into the clubhouse for the first time.

“It definitely reminded me of that feeling in Atlanta,” he said, “when you came to spring training every year with the feeling that you have an opportunity to go to the World Series — instead of hoping, you know? And it’s a different feeling.”

There is good reason for that feeling, too.

The Royals return most of the pieces from the club that ended a 29year playoff drought, including one of the best bullpens in baseball history. And the pieces they did lose to free agency have been replaced with what could turn out to be upgrades.

Designated hitter Billy Butler is gone, Kendrys Morales signed in his place. Alex Rios is taking over for Nori Aoki in right field. Edinson Volquez was signed to fill the rotation spot of staff ace James Shields, who chased bigger money all the way to San Diego.

Even though a few faces have changed, the tenants that the Royals believe in have not: They will continue to rely on speed, defense and pitching to chase another playoff berth.

“Any time you’re fortunate enough to keep those key pieces, you feel good,” said Greg Holland, the Royals’ All-Star closer. “Yeah, we lost Billy and Shields and Nori, but for the most part, we’re right where we need to be.”

Besides, the back end of the bullpen is still intact.

Kelvin Herrera harnessed his electrifying fastball to become a shutdown seventh-inning reliever last season. Former starter Wade Davis had a historically dominant year as the setup man.

Holland further cemented his status as the AL’s best closer.

“The way you tilt the field in your favor, in my opinion, is having quality pitching and really good defense,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “Those are things that hopefully can show up every single day and perform for you.”

As the Royals approach opening day against the Chicago White Sox on April 6 at Kauffman Stadium, here are a few other story lines to watch this season: The rotation: Shields was the anchor in 2014, but he struggled mightily in the playoffs. So

when the Royals signed Volquez to replace him, it was mostly met with a collective shrug.

Besides, the success of the rotation will more likely be determined by the success of young flamethrowers Danny Duffy and Yordano Ventura, both of whom have ace ability.

Injury bugs: The Royals stayed remarkably healthy last season. Will karma even out?

Second baseman Omar Infante already missed long stretches of spring training with a bone spur in his elbow that could require surgery next offseason. Left fielder Alex Gordon also got a slow start to the spring after undergoing wrist surgery this past offseason.

Slow starts: The last couple of seasons, the Royals have gotten off to slow starts. They successfully dug out of a big

hole two years ago, but pulled it off last season.

Considering every other team in the AL Central appeared to get better over the winter, the Royals can ill afford to let Detroit, Cleveland and Minnesota and the White Sox bury them.

Resting Salvy: All-Star catcher Salvador Perez faded in the playoffs in part due to his heavy work load in the regular season, where he appeared in 150 games. Yost intends to give him more days off this year, though it’s hard to take his bat out of the lineup.

Baseball town: Did the World Series run turn Kansas City into a baseball town again? The club has been overshadowed for decades by the Chiefs, who play just across the parking lot in Arrowhead stadium. How will fans respond to having the reigning AL champions?

BRIEFLY FSHS baseball tops Ozark, 9-3 Ozark, Mo. — Hunter Gudde allowed three hits over five innings, and Free State upended Ozark (Missouri), 9-3, in high school baseball Friday.

Zion Bowlin had three hits, including a double, to pace the Firebirds (3-0) offensively.

“There were some mistakes on (Ozark’s) behalf, and we really capitalized with some timely hitting,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “And we pitched well.

Hunter was sharp.”

The Firebirds will face Branson (Missouri) at noon today in Branson.

FREE STATE’S ZACK SANDERS COMPETES IN THE BOYS 110-meter hurdles Friday at FSHS.

Firebirds who finished as runners-up.

“It’s great to see them starting off kind of where we ended up last year,” Rose said. “It’s nice to see that at the beginning and not have to build to that and then start over again.

I was happy to see that they were still performing at that level. That sets a really good repertoire for the rest of the team to

“That’s the best I’ve seen him,” Bushnell said.

“He won four games for us as a sophomore last year, and by the end of the spring season, we knew he was going to be our guy. … He’s put himself in position with the summer he’s had and the work that he’s done. He’s got a great chance to do some great things.”

be able to keep up to that level.”

Free State’s girls squad got off to a hot start as well, with three event champions. The Firebirds were strong in the field events, as junior Callie Hicks won the pole vault, and senior Hannah Shoemaker won the discus. Senior Gabbi Dabney added the third FSHS first-place finish by winning the 100 hurdles and nearly picked up another victory when she took second in the high jump.

Dabney was not the only Firebird who was

just a hair shy of winning two events. Sophomore Emily Venters placed second in both the 800 and 1,600, but missed out on first in each event by a combined .25 second.

The Firebirds will quickly turn their focus to Tuesday’s City Showdown at Lawrence High, a dual meet the FSHS boys and LHS girls won last year.

“I’m glad we had this first meet as the first one to get us ready so we know what to do when we compete against them,” said Free State sophomore Kahler Wiebe, who

finished third in girls javelin Friday.

While Rose hopes FSHS can win the meet on both sides this year, she is really looking forward to the atmosphere of the City Showdown, which will start at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“We have a good, competitive relationship with Lawrence High, so that’s always a really fun meet to start off our year to see where we’re at and to get in their together and have some good town rivalry going between the two of us,” Rose said.

liever Turner Middendorf with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The Lions (0-3) struggled to get any good swings against Zeferjahn, sending just two balls to the outfield, and they struck out looking five times.

“I was really impressed with my first outing of the year being in this weather,” said Zeferjahn, who was throwing a mid80s fastball and a curveball that disappeared under swings. “It was pretty good conditions for the game. My hands didn’t get numb. But I thought it was a great first outing for me.”

Lawrence senior Nick

Haynes nearly matched Zeferjahn on the mound.

The LHS starting pitcher gave up four hits and one earned run in four innings. Seaman senior Michael Owen hit an RBI single to left in the second inning, scoring Brad Piel, who reached on an error and slid past a relay to the plate after LHS catcher Ivan Hollins bobbled the ball.

In the third inning, Seaman junior David Lucero hit a leadoff single and eventually scored on a single to left-center from junior Alex Ronnebaum.

Haynes doesn’t feature the fastball or curveball

that Zeferjahn has in his arsenal, but Haynes was successful in hitting the corners of the plate.

“Nick is just kind of that dude,” Stoll said.

“It’s nothing that’s overpowering or nothing that’s absolutely dominant. But he throws strikes. He keeps the ball down. There’s a lot to be said for that.”

The Lions will head to Shawnee Mission West for their next game at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Soto product fearless against Texas (21-9).

“I think the rest of our team was fearful the entire game for some reason,” Smith said. “But (Templin)?

No way.

(She) was confident and went right at ’em. I’m really proud of her effort.”

The right-handed reliever said every ap-

pearance she has made in her KU career prepared her for the stressful situation. She just wished the Jayhawks had all better channeled their energy.

“I think we were really excited,” Templin said after KU was shut out for the second time this season. “We were ready to

AGENT SPOTLIGHT Janet Grant Realtor

(785) 766-1017 JanetGrant@ReeceNichols.com Where did you grow up I grew up on a farm south of Lawrence. Yep, I was born at LMH. My future brother-in-law was in the nursery with me, but he is three days older than me. He hates when I divulge that!! I grew up in a 1914 farm house built by my great-grandfather, William Churchbaugh. I was a typical tomboy, always helping my dad in the field or working with the cattle we raised. My dad taught me to love work.

What a great gift!! I went to a one room school at Willow Springs and graduated from Baldwin High School.

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

My husband and I live in a rural subdivision just west of Lawrence city limits. I love the peace, quiet and privacy.

I love to sit on the front porch or the deck or peer out my kitchen window and see an abundance of wildlife of every variety. We have fabulous human neighbors too.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I love to read, cook, garden and escape to Hawaii at least once a year. My sister, brother-in-law, our cousins, my niece and I can often be found hanging out at one of Lawrence’s great restaurants on a Tuesday night. We have so much fun together. Sometimes we even get a little rowdy. Just ask the wait staff!!!

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

I started selling real estate in Santa Monica, California in 1978. Not much real estate was being sold in 1980-81 because the interest rates topped 17%!! During that time, I went back to school and took all the classes required to qualify to become a real estate broker in the state of California, which I really enjoyed. In 1986, I married a widower with three teenaged daughters, so I quit real estate to raise the kiddos. Eventually I returned to my hometown, bringing my reluctant Californian husband with me. I started selling real estate again in 2003.

What did you do before that?

I worked for an air freight forwarder at Los Angeles International Airport. My responsibility was moving repair parts to oil tankers in the Pacific Rim. Real estate is much easier!

What is your specialty?

Whatever you need, I’m there. I can help with homes in town or in the country. I have extensive experience in owning and managing rental property in Lawrence. I can also help with agricultural land. I work with both buyers and sellers.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?

It is challenging to keep abreast of all the changes in real estate laws, contracts, and technology. It’s gratifying to help people maneuver through the buying and selling process, since it’s one of the most important decisions most people will ever make! This can be very emotional.

There are so many things to consider. It really helps to have a Realtor® who will take the time to patiently help buyers and sellers through the process. I have had years of experience, perhaps I will think of things you have not considered. If you are looking for a home and you love to enjoy time on the deck during the summer, then don’t buy a home with a west facing deck. If you don’t like icy driveways, make sure your driveway faces south or west.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I entered a vacant home in Venice, California for the purpose of previewing it for one of my buyers. I went to the big double windows to open the drapes, and out rolled a sleeping homeless man! I screamed, he screamed, and I ran for the door. After that experience, I didn’t go into any more vacant homes for a long time!!

Just recently, I showed a vacant home here in Lawrence that had a squirrel ripping through it as I was trying to show it. My buyers were not impressed!!

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

Find a Realtor® that you really like and trust. Make lists of what is really important to you. Husbands and wives should make separate lists.

Share lists, then compromise.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices?

My crystal ball is not working at the moment, but I am feeling confident that real estate sales and prices will continue to rise at a slow but steady rate.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent?

See above, “Top 3 things” question. Also, I am totally charming and my husband is asking for a bigger allowance so I need more business!

adopt-a-pet Jade

Name: Jade Breed: Boxer mix Color: black with white Age: 3 years Weight: 58 lbs. Those are her stats, but what they don’t tell you is that she is a great dog. Happy and energetic, she would do well in an active home with older kids. If you only have room for one dog, that would be okay with her.

More love and attention for her and lots of kisses for you.

Come meet her today.

Cassie

Guess what! We also have a kitty named Cassie at the Topeka Petco. What a looker she is with her black and white tuxedo markings. She’s a Domestic Short Hair and is only 3 years old. She was very comfortable in the CatTopia room with the other cats, so she should do fine with another cat in the home.

She needs to be an indoor kitty, as she is declawed on all four paws. Don’t miss out on this sweetheart.

Bloom

Our third PetSmart kitty is Bloom. She is a 4 year old Domestic Short Hair mix with white and grey colors. When she was here, she spent a lot of time in the CatTopia room with quite a number of other cats, so we know that she is good with other cats. She is sweet, but also can be independent at times. Stop by to see her and the rest of the cats. They are ready and waiting to go home.

PePe

The new Lawrence PetSmart is open and we have cats there. Pepe is enjoying his new digs, but would be much happier in a new home.

He is a Domestic Short Hair with a black with white coat and all white whiskers. He is only 3 years old and is a big guy at almost 12 lbs. His wish is to be the only cat. He tried doing the roommate thing, and he decided it wasn’t for him.

rosie

It wouldn’t be right of me to leave out the only cat we have for adoption at the Lawrence Petco.

Meet sweet Rosie. She is 3 years old and is a Domestic Short Hair mix with black brown tabby markings. We don’t know how she will do with another cat, but there are ways to introduce a new pet to your home, so give us a call if you need some guidance.

Go meet her today.

roman

The short answer for Roman: busy. The long answer would be Terrier mix, a little over 1 year old, black brown coat, about 26 lbs. and crazy cute ears. He would do best in a home where being busy is fun and acceptable. This little dog is not a couch potato. He would do great with older kids who can keep him occupied. Another dog would be a good option too.

Hemmingway

Hemingway is a 3 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a tan and white coat. He is a medium sized guy at about 47 lbs.

With energy to spare, he would be a good exercise buddy in this warmer weather. He might be okay with another dog, but we recommend a meet if you have another dog.

Keep his energy level in mind if you have kids. Given the opportunity, he does enjoy being a couch potato too.

emilio

What do you have in common with Emilio? Do you enjoy getting dog kisses? He enjoys giving them. Do you enjoy relaxing after a long day?

So does Emilio. Do you enjoy sleeping on a comfy bed? Imagine that! So does Emilio. He is a 10 year old American Blue Heeler mix with a red and white coat. Now that he has reached retirement age, he’s looking for a place where he can ease into his senior years.

angel

She may look like a puppy, but Angel is already a grown up girl. She is an adorable Pointer mix with white and brown coloring and is 3 years old. She came in with her own list of things she is good at. Cats are okay, doesn’t chase squirrels, knows how to be good in her kennel, knows various commands and is active, but calm indoors. Kids should be okay too.

Sound good to you? Come and visit her.

BonBon

Bonbon is an adorable Terrier mix with a smile that melts hearts. She weighs about 42 lbs. and has a solid red coat. She is only 1 year old and would benefit from some puppy classes to help her learn to be the best she can be. Children and maybe another dog should be okay. Make a visit to the shelter and see if she is the one you’ve been looking for.

See you soon.

JaCky

Jacky’s another of our cats who is now residing at the new PetSmart.

He’s a gentle guy and is only a little over 1 year old. He’s a Domestic Long Hair with a black with white coat. We took him in when he had no place else to go. Even though he’s full grown, he’s small in stature at about 8 lbs. Go check out the new store. Jacky would be happy to help you buy supplies when you adopt him.

Bradley

Bradley has good boy written all over him. He is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a handsome fellow with his tricolor coat. If a solid (compact) dog is what you want and you need a buddy to keep you motivated in your exercise routine, then he would be an excellent choice.

Kids and other dogs are welcome with this young man.

He has a lot to offer.

Adoption Hours: Tues.-Fri. 11:30am - 6:00pm, until 7:00pm Thurs., Sat.-Mon. 11:30am - 4:00pm 1805 East 19th Street | Lawrence, Kansas 66046 785-843-6835 | www.lawrencehumane.org www.facebook.com/lawrencehumane

Cleveland

The “Heart of Rock and Roll” is not in Cleveland.

It is at the Lawrence Humane Society and his name is Cleveland. This little 5 year old Shih Tzu mix has the heart of a rock star and the hair cut to prove it. He has a black and white coat and like most true stars, he appreciates it when he finds a good stylist. His fan base should include children and other dogs, so bring on the attention.

Woman ashamed by mother’s money habits Dear Annie: My husband and I are successful professionals with no children. Our mothers are both well off and have been generous to our siblings, who, for various reasons, have needed a lot of help.

My husband and I tender free professional and some financial assistance to both sides of our families.

My mother-in-law takes opportunities to show her appreciation by paying for meals or offering to reimburse costs. She is a delight, and we see her often.

My mother, however, is the opposite — always a guest, never offering to reimburse costs or pay a share. She has even invited us and others to events and then stuck us with the bill. My husband does not complain, but I am ashamed of her stingi-

ness. Subconsciously, we do not seek out my mother, and our visits are becoming rare.

Both mothers are up in years, and I do not expect any changes. If you have any suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them.

— Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Our only suggestion is to accept your mother as she is. In some families, it would be unthinkable for a senior parent to reimburse financially successful children.

Jonas hosts Nickelodeon awards show Nick Jonas hosts the 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards (7 p.m. Saturday, Nickelodeon). The annual event offers a hard sell for upcoming movies and shows as well as a chance for Nickelodeon to celebrate itself. It could use the pick-meup. Nickelodeon’s ratings have been on a downward trend for some time, a decline that does not so much reflect its programming as its young audience. After all, these viewers are least likely to be tied to traditional television habits and are the most receptive to new platforms and media.

Jonas joins a line of presenters dating back to the first show in 1988. That was hosted by a tag team including Tony Danza, Debbie Gibson, and Brian Robbins and Dan Schneider of “Head of the Class” fame.

Will Smith remains the most honored recipient of the Kids Choice Awards, having won 10 times. Selena Gomez trails in second with eight.

“Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour” (7 p.m.

Saturday, Epix) captures the effervescent pop star with a two-hour concert special. In other concert news, Ne-Yo performs on “HelloBeautiful.com Interludes Live” (9 p.m. Saturday, TV One).

Tonight’s other highlights

The ISU World Figure Skating Championships from Shanghai, China (7 p.m., NBC).

Ben scrambles to clear his name on “Secrets and Lies” (7 p.m., ABC).

Abigail stirs things up on “Good Witch” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

Appliance store bandits hold hostages on “In an Instant” (8 p.m., ABC).

A commando takes on a volcano in the 2014 thriller “Apocalypse Pompeii” (8 p.m., Syfy).

Flint gets help from an unexpected source on the season finale of “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz).

Julianne Moore and Cuba Gooding Jr. appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

Dwayne Johnson hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest George Ezra.

BIRTHDAYS Country singer Reba McEntire is 60. Country singer Rodney Atkins is 46. Actor Vince Vaughn is 45. Singer Lady Gaga is 29.

Your mother may not realize that these are your expectations, so it doesn’t occur to her that you would be anything less than generous. You don’t have to admire this part of her character, but she is still your mother, and she isn’t getting any younger. Please make a conscious effort to be with her when all you are spending is your time.

Dear Annie: I have read the letters in your column about mothersin-law and would like to add my two cents about boundaries.

My MIL liked me while her son and I were dating. When we became engaged, she wanted control. She made changes to our wedding plans right up to the ceremony, even though my folks were paying for it. When I was pregnant, she

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, March 28: This year you have an opportunity to move past a former restriction. If you are single, you will find your dating life to be very prosperous. If you are attached, your significant other will sense a change in your caring and might become more comfortable and open.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Others will be surprised by your silence, as you typically are a fiery personality. Tonight: Stay calm.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’ll zero in on what is important in a conversation. Tap into your diplomatic skills. Tonight: Try to mend bridges.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You read between the lines and know that much more is going on. Saying anything could be a mistake. Tonight: Go shopping!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Claim your power through a focused and poised attitude. Others seem to want to drag out a disagreement. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Taking some personal time alone will be a relief. You love people, but to give so much of your time can be exhausting.

Tonight: Opt for something quiet and enjoyable.

grabbed my arm and hissed, “I will NOT be a grandma!” At the baby shower, she informed the whole family that if it was a girl, it isn’t her grandchild, because her boys don’t make girls.

We had a beautiful girl who looks just like my husband. Over the years, I tried to be kind, but when she started taking her hatefulness out on our children, we set up big boundaries.

One thing I have learned is that I will not be that mother-inlaw. Moms, please raise your kids to be loving and caring adults.

Just because you aren’t happy, doesn’t mean you need to make them miserable. — Lisa
