‘Religious freedom’ bill moves to House

‘It’s not flashy, but it’s important’

Committee will take up Kansas measure already approved by Senate

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A bill that would require colleges and universities in Kansas to give official recognition and support to student religious groups that discriminate in their membership will get a hearing today in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

Senate Bill 175, which passed the Senate earlier LEGISLATURE this month by a vote of 30-8, is one of dozens of so-called religious freedom bills being debated in state legislatures nationwide this year, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

It would prohibit public colleges and universities from withholding support or recognition from student religious groups that

All six candidates will be in attendance at the candidate forum on community health and wellness at 7 p.m. at the Lawrence Public Library auditorium. The forum, sponsored by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, the LiveWell Lawrence Coalition and WellCommons, will focus on questions related to public health, wellness and safety in Lawrence.

The public is invited to attend. Sponsors will ask questions of the candidates, and there also will be an opportunity for community members in attendance to ask questions during a Q&A period.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Reborn CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Now, after two years of restorations and the help of dozens of volunteers, the approximately 140-year-old downtown building is the new home of the Eudora Community Museum, maintained by the Eudora Area Historical Society.

The museum is important for Eudora residents to understand the history of their community, said Ben Terwilliger, executive director of the EAHS. “This enables us to share with the community their sense of identity, their sense of their history,” he said.

With the renovation of the first floor complete, the EAHS will celebrate the grand opening of the museum’s new location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.

Saturday, followed by a reception. Entrance to the museum is free.

require their members and leaders to adhere to sincerely held religious beliefs or to comply with their religious standards of conduct.

During debate on the bill in the Senate, supporters said it is model legislation being adopted in other states, largely in response to colleges and universities refusing to allow such groups to meet on campus or to receive any financial support from a university.

One of the groups cited was the Christian Legal Society that was the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2010. That ruling said the University of California, Hastings Law School was justified in denying recognition to that group because California has an “open door” law that prohibits funding student groups that are not open to all students.

The Christian Legal Society requires its members to sign a statement affirming their belief in certain strict Christian tenets and does not admit students who engage in “unrepentant homosexual conduct.”

condition, but it may take some legal intervention for the patient to get his landlord to make the necessary improvements to the housing.

The KU law school has a similar program — called a medical-legal partnership — with the KU Medical Center. It provided legal advice for 121 cases in 2013, including getting an order of protection for a domestic violence victim, end-of-life planning services for an early-stage Alzheimer’s patient and several other types of cases, according to a report provided to the LMH board.

The idea of medical-legal partnerships has been catching on in the health care industry, board members were told. A large part of the idea is that people will become healthier if their personal environment is improved, but that sometimes requires legal action.

“There are cases where a patient comes to the emergency room and we keep treating the same problem, and they go back to the same en-

Though the project received grants and donations of money and materials, the single biggest factor in its success was the volunteer labor, Terwilliger said.

EAHS member Benny Dean, who has volunteered about 1,000 hours of work toward the project, was hesitant to take any credit for his contribution, saying, “It orientation or other factors which cannot be lawfully considered.”

It also says student groups have the right to select their own members, as long as all students have an equal opportunity to meet those standards, and it recognizes the right of certain groups, such as honor societies and athletic teams, to select members on the basis of merit.

And on the issue of funding, the policy states: “The chief executive officer shall be ultimately responsible for reviewing proposed expenditures from fees required of every student as a condition of enrollment and as determining whether such expenditures are in support of an appropriate student activity.”

Kansas University spokesman Tim Caboni called the bill “a solution in search of a problem.”

Kansas does not have an “open door” statute, and the official policy of the Kansas Board of Regents governing student associations is not as wide open.

That includes a general non-discrimination policy that “prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national or— Peter Hancock can be reached at igin, physical handicap or disability, status as a Viet- 785-354-4222.

Board members directed LMH staff members to do more research about how large of a population may use such a service at LMH. Patients would be required to meet certain income guidelines, and some legal issues — such as criminal representation — would be off limits.

Gene Meyer, president and CEO of LMH, said he thinks a program could operate for less than $100,000 a year, assuming one part-time staff attorney who would oversee advanced law school students.

Board members, though, still have questions they want answered.

Allen Belot, a member of the LMH board, said he could envision concerns about an LMH attorney becoming involved in local landlord-tenant issues, for example. He said he also wanted to make sure that the hospital wouldn’t face any liability by offering the service.

It likely will be a few more months before board members are asked to make a decision on whether to start the pro-

was just being part of the Eudora community.”

The building, now listed on the Kansas Register of Historic Places, was built in the 1870s by German immigrants and has been home to hardware stores and a post office, as well as plumbing and electrical shops.

Echoing its past as a post office, the museum houses a wall of wooden mailboxes that once served the entire town: dark-stained wood with painted gold numbers ranging from one to 131.

Jim Harris, also an EAHS member, remembers coming to the building as a child when it was a plumbing supplies store in the 1940s. In addition to the supplies, Harris recalls a table where people played checkers and dominoes near a pot-bellied stove.

The museum saves part of that history of Eudora, Harris said.

“It’s not flashy, but it’s important to the people here,” he explained.

One artifact fitting that characterization sits right by the front door: an old light post. The post, for-

L awrence J ournal -W orld merly located at the intersections of 7th and Main streets, served for decades as an informal community notice board. Testament to that past, it is punctured with 1,333 nails and more than 500 staples.

The museum also houses more official artifacts. Terwilliger said the three most important artifacts in the collection are the original deed to Eudora, the only known photograph of the namesake of the community, Eudora Fish, and the original map of the town.

The restoration of the building’s second floor should be complete by next year and will allow the museum to add more exhibits and artifacts, Terwilliger said. In addition to helping the community better understand its history, Terwilliger said, he hopes the location of the museum will help the local economy.

“We fixed up the building, and that helps revitalize Main Street,” Terwilliger said. “There is one less empty building, and that will hopefully lead to more people coming downtown.”

KU christens ‘all gender’ restrooms

CHILDREN AT THE BALLARD EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER spend some time on the playground Wednesday. The United Way of Douglas County is funding a program to make sure the children’s transition between school and home is seamless, so they have the family support they need to succeed throughout their educational career.

hen the teachers at the Ballard Center tell their 1- to 5-year-old students to “catch a bubble,” they aren’t urging the kids to scramble after soap bubbles floating in the air. They are instructing them to sit quietly and listen. Like most schools, Ballard has unique vo-

cabulary and procedures for its students. But when you are a parent who is not privy to the lingo or the expectations set for your child, you can feel like an outsider, making it difficult for you to connect with the school and provide your child with the support he or she needs to continue learning at home.

About this story Micki Chestnut is communications director for the United Way of Douglas County, which provides occasional features spotlighting local volunteers and charities supported by the United Way.

If you are not a woman, and you are not a man — or at least don’t identify yourself as either — which public restroom do you go in?

At Kansas University’s Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center you can avoid the conundrum by choosing one of the newly labeled “all gender” restrooms.

Graduate student Hugo Macías Jr. led an effort to put new signs — which are temporary for now, with permanent ones on the way, he said — outside three single-occupancy restrooms at the rec center.

“If you ever have a guest or student looking for a gender-neutral restroom and they’re labeled as men and women ... well, that puts them in a curious situation,” Macías said. “They’re single-use, they’re private, why not change them to be labeled as gender neutral to be more inclusive?”

Macías said being more “intentional” about the wording would make the facility more inviting for people who identify as gender-neutral or ambiguous.

Vanished towns dot the prairie in Kiowa County

path sandwiched between a wheat field and a pasture, Ed Schoenberger abruptly motions to stop the car.

“You’re now in downtown Reeder,” he says as he steps out of the vehicle — facing the cold wind that whips across the wide-open prairie on this early March day.

But all around him, there is nothing but farmland and grass. Reeder, once a bustling community where residents dreamed of a railroad, has disappeared.

Underneath the ground, however, the memory of Reeder still exists. Reeder began in 1885 but only lasted a handful of years, with the post office closing in 1891.

The railroad never came, and the community eventually died with its remains buried in shallow graves below the prairie grass.

Schoenberger pulls out his metal detector and begins finding centuryold trash — on this day largely sardine cans that settlers left behind.

Reeder’s tale mirrors countless towns across Kansas, including several in Kiowa County. Schoenberger has been working to preserve those memories through his research and amateur archeology.

Reeder, he said, once was part of Comanche County before the Kansas Legislature redrew

— Ed Schoenberger, Kiowa County historian the county lines. It had a newspaper — the Comanche Chief, which eventually was changed to the Kiowa Chief. There was a hotel and other businesses.

“They built Reeder on the anticipation of a north-south railroad, but it never happened,” he said.

Reeder soon disappeared.

In 1903, the Kansas House passed HB 221, an act vacating the townsite of Reeder, according to the Kansas House Journal.

Schoenberger, a longtime Greensburg resident and past board member of the Kiowa County Historical Society, has been researching the county’s ghost towns for decades.

In the margins of an old Kiowa County history book — which survived the May 2007 tornado that destroyed his home and much of the city — he scribbles his own notes of his findings, and corrects the inaccuracies.

“History belongs to the person who tells it,” he quips, noting that stories that are passed down from generation to generation change over time.

However, if you dig deep enough, the truth often comes to the surface.

Finding the truth, however, hasn’t always been easy. For instance, Janesville, the county’s first town, is located roughly 2 miles west of Greensburg. Janesville, however, has no official paper trail.

The town was never platted and had such a brief life that Schoenberger has found few documents and newspaper articles, Amy Bickel/Hutchinson News Photo along with a case full of KIOWA COUNTY HISTORIAN ED SCHOENBERGER uses a metal detector at Kiowa County’s artifacts.

A July 1884 issue of the dead town site of Reeder on Feb. 26. The Reeder site has turned up countless items, Kinsley Graphic noted including sardine cans, square nails and other metals. the happenings in town in its Janesville Jottings.

It said that Andrew J. McWilliams was busy running a store, lumberyard and blacksmith shop.

By August 1884, building in town, it seemed, was booming.

“Lumber is sold so rapidly in our yards here, that it is simply impossible to keep a good stock on hand,” the writer reported.

And, by September, the town had a post office, The Hutchinson News reports.

Janesville, however, would soon be just a memory. And some of the accounts of its ending stretch the truth, including one in history books and stated on the Kansas State Historical Society website: “When the town of Greensburg was being established, the townspeople attempted to have the post office moved from the nearby town of Janesville.

had established Janesville and was also the postmaster, refused to allow the post office to leave. One night several Greensburg men were playing cards and drinking with Barney in the Janesville Post Office. Late in the evening, Barney fell asleep.

The Greensburg men hoisted the 9-foot-by12-foot building onto a sled, and with Barney inside, moved the building to Greensburg. Barney awoke the next morning in what was now Greensburg’s post office.”

“In these old stories there is always some truth,” Schoenberger said.

Schoenberger said he found Janesville’s first postmaster was McWilliams, who had the daughter named Jane.

Documents also show that Jacob Barney most likely participated in the relocation to Greensburg.

Barney had a store in Janesville.

Janesville consolidated with Greensburg in October 1884, according to a county document. It noted that Greensburg acquired all the houses and buildings in Janesville, including the post office, and that McWilliams would remain postmaster.

McWilliams didn’t take the job, however. Emma Conwell did. The post office in Janesville was formally discontinued in January 1885 and moved to what postal officials called Greensburgh.

The post office dropped the H in 1892.

Whether Barney disagreed with the move, it’s long been buried with him, as Barney signed the document and was paid $5.52 for nails, rope and other items for the moving of Janesville. Schoenberger also said residents who agreed to move to Greensburg were paid for their expenses and received a free lot in Greensburg.

Enter Shawn Hough, Ballard’s family connections coordinator, a position funded by the United Way of Douglas County to engage Ballard parents in their children’s early education experience. Hough’s mission is to ensure the children’s transition between school and home is seamless, so they have the family support they need to succeed throughout their educational careers.

“We know that family engagement is one of the key predictors of academic success. When families are engaged, students are more likely to be successful,” stated Erika Dvorske, president/CEO of United Way of Douglas County. “At an early childhood program like the Ballard Center, where families are working hard to provide all the best opportunities for their kiddos, we want to offer more tools that help the kids launch into kindergarten — and the rest of their lives — ready to succeed.”

Many of Ballard’s families are initially disinclined to connect with their children’s school, said Megan Stuke, director of development and administrative services at the Ballard Center. They may have had a bad experience in school when they were kids, or they just don’t want to take the time. So Hough works to establish a trusting relationship between school and home by personally visiting each student’s home twice a year. That’s been 90 and 100 home visits a year. During these visits, he conducts an Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), a point-intime assessment that gauges whether a child is on track developmentally and academically, so both parents and teachers know where the child is doing well and where they need to partner to help the child improve.

KIOWA COUNTY HISTORIAN ED SCHOENBERGER holds a display of artifacts he found at the site he thinks is the location of the dead town of Gresham, an undocumented town that was mentioned in a few newspapers in 1884.

For Schoenberger, one easy way to find townsites is from the trash settlers left behind.

There was no trash Dumpster, after all, on the prairie. Pioneers often left their trash behind, said David Webb, assistant director of the Kansas Heritage Center in Dodge City.

“Canned food — sardines and fruit, some vegetables, that was pretty common,” Webb said. “They didn’t have trash pickup so it all got dumped somewhere — state archaeologists say the outhouse sites are great — that’s where a lot of things got thrown.”

The town site of Brenham was actually south and west of the present day elevator that travelers pass as they head west into Greensburg, Schoenberger said, noting he’s found several items in this location, including the town’s well. Brenham had a good well and people from all over came to get water from it.

The town, formed in 1884, had several businesses, including a doctor. Brenham had a post office for 10 years, through 1894. Southern Plains Cooperative still

operates the elevator, using it for food-grade milo.

There were other towns as well, almost all of which have been reclaimed by the prairie or plowed over by farmers.

Some, however, never really were more than a post office stop with maybe a store.

That includes Nickel, which had a post office from 1886 to 1908; as well as Crescent in northwestern Kiowa County. Crescent’s post office operated from 1892 to 1905.

The towns of Belvidere and Wellsford still have small populations and a few structures.

Kansas has nearly 6,000 dead towns across the prairie. Some died because they lost the county seat battle.

Others, said Webb, disappeared because they didn’t get a railroad.

Those towns would typically move their buildings to a neighboring community, leaving little remains on the surface.

Often, said Webb, the last remaining evidence above ground is a rural cemetery.

Schoenberger continues to metal detect the townsites — some of which have moved a little

from the original platting.

He has permission from the landowners. He also thinks he has found the undocumented town of Gresham, which the Kinsley Mercury in 1884 noted was one of three voting precincts in the county.

At the proposed site of Gresham, which he thinks is by the Joy elevator area west of Greensburg, he found square nails and tools. Around the Janesville site, he has found horseshoes, bridle bits, square nails and bullets with his metal detector, among countless other metal items used in the day. He’s found similar items at Brenham.

Those items are hanging in the Kiowa County Courthouse.

From Reeder, in Schoenberger’s home collection, he has buttons and money, bullets and more decorative pieces, including jewelry and pocket knives.

He enjoys it, he said, adding he probably has done more than 4,000 hours of research.

“I’ve always been interested in history,” he said, adding he used to be the cemetery sexton at Greensburg. “But I’m even more so now.”

“We are particularly concerned in offering these restrooms to those individuals who are transgender or genderqueer, those with disabilities who have an attendant of a different sex/gender, and parents with young children of another sex/gender,” the website states.

The signs on the rec center restrooms picture a traditional restroom-sign male figure, female figure, wheelchair figure and a new figure — a combination of the male and female figures, with a skirt on just one side. Small print beneath them explains

that anyone is welcome to use the restroom.

Macías said when the new signs at the rec center hit social media, they got a positive response.

“People are excited about this,” he said. “It’s the little things that count.”

support gender-neutral students, is a secondyear master’s student in higher education administration who currently has an internship at the rec center.

The rec center restrooms are the latest to join a campuswide list of more than 20 other similar single-occupancy, lockable restrooms identified as not genderspecific.

KU’s Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity lists those restrooms — many of which are signed as family re-

at Ballard Center. So Hough organizes monthly activities, where Ballard families can gather to have fun, make friends and learn new skills, like healthy cooking or parenting techniques.

“We are trying to build as much community as possible, so parents can go to each other for help, to give their kids playmates, discuss their children’s development, and give each other ideas,” Hough said.

It’s working. Since the family connections coordinator position was created in 2012, participation in parent-teacher conferences at Ballard has skyrocketed, said Stuke. “We used to have maybe two parents from each classroom participate in conferences. Now 98 percent of parents do.”

Participating in parentteacher conferences, working with their children’s teachers as teammates and applying their school’s learning techniques at home are all habits Stuke wants to help parents develop so that they will remain actively engaged in their children’s education until the students graduate from high school.

“Research has shown that the connection between home and school, especially in early childhood, is key, and the effects are long term,” Stuke said.

Students who are not ready for kindergarten are half as likely to read well by third grade and four times more likely to drop out of high school, she reported.

Through its education community goal, United Way is focused on providing students in Douglas County with the support they need to come to school ready to learn, and to achieve their full potential in school and in life, Dvorske explained.

“This is where it all starts; this is the foundation of how children will be introduced into schooling and education,” explained Casey Pittel, education director for the Ballard Center. “If children have positive experiences, it will help them progress through the rest of their school career. If we don’t do this, there are a lot of repercussions.”

Judy Grant, retired teacher, Lawrence “I miss Borders a lot.

It’s sad that Lawrence doesn’t have a good bookstore anymore.”

(Editor’s note: Lawrence still has both The Raven Book Store and The Dusty Bookshelf downtown.)

Joe Wilson, printer at Blue Collar Press, Lawrence “I’d have to say some of the neighborly connections. Around here you can’t just knock on each other’s doors anymore.”

Christian Patrzykont, student, Lawrence “I used to detail cars, and very recently the place has shut down, and it was the only one in Coffeyville, so that s*cks.”

Valisha Buselt, teacher, Lawrence “Lawrence used to do movies in the park with black-and-white films, and I’d have a blanket and popcorn, and I’d bring my grandma, but they built a complex there and so they don’t do it anymore.”

Ottawa Co-op files for expansion E

astern Lawrence’s skyline is set to get a new addition.

Plans have been filed by Ottawa Co-op to expand its grain facility near 19th Street and Moodie Road.

Plans call for an approximately 75-foot-tall grain storage bin to be installed adjacent to the existing grain elevator, increasing the grain storage available by about 200,000 bushels.

“There’s just a need because there is so much grain being produced in the area,” said Clark Wenger, general manager for the Ottawa Co-op.

The grain elevator — which is just a bit south and west of the 19th and Haskell intersection — has been serving area farmers for decades. If you thought the continued urbanization of Douglas County was someday going to make that facility obsolete,

think again. Wenger said crop production in Douglas County has remained strong, and the facility is an important part of Ottawa Co-op’s future plans.

“It has been a really good facility for us,” Wenger said.

The co-op has a few technical approvals to win from Lawrence City Hall, but Wenger hopes to have the new grain bin in production by late August, which means it could be used for the fall

harvest of corn and soybeans. Once completed, the entire Ottawa Co-op facility is expected to have the capacity to store about 600,000 bushels of grain.

The co-op also will continue to operate grain elevators in North Lawrence and Midland Junction in Douglas County. l l l

The auto business in Lawrence is booming, and its latest expansion is set for 23rd Street and Haskell Avenue.

Lawrence-based Auto Exchange has filed plans to open a new dealership at the intersection.

Auto Exchange has reached a deal to take over the northwest corner of the intersection, the spot that previously housed the Hertz rental car business. Matt Heidrich, managing part-

ner for the business, said the company plans to keep its existing location at 33rd and Iowa streets open as well. He hopes to have the new location at 23rd and Haskell open in 60 to 90 days.

“Our No. 1 problem has been keeping enough inventory,” Heidrich said.

“The additional location will allow us to really expand our inventory.”

The deal represents a return to 23rd Street for Auto Exchange. It previously operated at the location down the street that now houses the Lawrence Kia dealership.

The new location will be significantly smaller than that spot, but Heidrich said smaller locations are a part of Auto Exchange’s business strategy. The smaller locations allow for significantly lower overhead costs, he said.

“We figured out that bigger isn’t always bet-

Yard care debate: hay or straw?

HOSPITAL Births Amanda Mara and Michael Chavez, Lawrence, a boy, Thursday.

— These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

armers and ranchers know the difference between hay and straw, but the average homeowner often confuses the two.

Both are available in homeowner-sized bales, typically rectangular in shape, and both can be used for many home and garden projects. Understanding the differences and benefits of each will help you make a decision on which product to choose.

Fact 1: Hay is a somewhat universal term for many different types of grasses that are cut, typically before they set seed, and baled into large or small, round or square, tightly tied bundles. These bundles can be stored for several years or used immediately for animal feed.

Choose hay from crops specifically planted for forage, such as alfalfa or timothy grass, to feed various animals.

Fact 2: Straw is the hollow shaft left over after crops have been harvested. The stiff, hollow composition of straw makes it a great insulator. Straw decomposes at a much slower rate than hay, has a very low moisture content and has no nutritional value. Choose straw for bedding, erosion control, building and insulating purposes.

Fact 3: Straw is great for mulching garden paths and is the product of choice to insulate a freshly seeded lawn. Unfortunately, along with straw comes a number of rogue seeds that are bound to germinate in the most unfortunate places. Watch for large seed heads when spreading straw and be ready to pull up any unwanted crops before they take a foothold in the yard or garden.

Fact 4: While straw is a great mulch for paths

ter,” Heidrich said.

The strategy also works well with the company’s online strategy.

Heidrich said the Internet has caused major changes in the dealership industry. He said about 90 percent of his dealership’s business is done online.

“The Internet has increased our business exponentially,” he said.

Look for some construction to occur at the 23rd and Haskell site.

Plans call for a remodel of the existing building and the addition of a car wash bay to the site.

In case you are wondering about Hertz, it has moved to 845 Iowa St. It is now located inside The Selection auto dealership.

Freshly cut hay is too wet and green to be used effectively for mulch, but aged hay, a year or so old, contains nutrients that can enrich the soil. Unlike straw, hay decomposes quickly and builds the soil while temporarily protecting the plants. Choose hay to mulch around garden crops or to spread over a newly seeded lawn.

Work the hay into the soil as it decomposes.

Four keys to evaluate an Iran deal

EDITORIALS

Treaty trust?

The Obama administration’s lack of transparency makes it hard for Americans to have confidence in U.S. negotiations for a nuclear treaty with Iran.

H

ow can Americans have much confidence or believe that President Obama is acting in the best interests of America in current nuclear treaty dealings with Iran when his record in foreign matters and his administration’s transparency have been so disappointing and dangerous to the country?

There is no transparency in the lengthy negotiations, and yet, a weak, one-sided treaty could prove to be a huge, potentially disastrous mistake for America. This is another example of putting together important deals or legislation, such as the Obama health care plan, when then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the public would have no way to know what the plan called for until it was passed and the public then could read the details.

Is that the way to conduct business?

What about a president and his State Department mouthpieces who would arrange a White House gathering to applaud a military deserter as a soldier who had served with honor and distinction?

Americans should be concerned about a president who said his presidency would be recognized as being the most “transparent” in the nation’s history but now is being judged as the most closed and opaque. And now, this president says the public should trust him and his secretary of state to hammer out a secret nuclear development deal with Iran that is in the best interests of Americans. What justifies that trust?

What does it take to make the public wake up to what is happening to this country under Obama’s leadership?

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 30, 1915: “The Ricker Home was formally inspected and accepted yesteryears day.... The Ricker Home is the reago modeled residence at 841 Maine IN 1915 street.... It is not a large structure, and will afford ready accommodations for not more than eight persons, not reckoning the matron, whose permanent home is in the building.... Among the details of the remodeling the property has undergone are the partitioning and otherwise making ready for use of two extra rooms upon the third floor. The house is modern in every respect, being equipped with water service, baths, electricity and gas.... It is to be a home for working girls of good character who have no other home, and whose earnings are too scant to qualify them properly for the competitive struggle they find themselves in. Most emphatically it is not a ‘rescue’ home in any sense of the word.”

“The Board of Education have published the advertisement for bids for the erection of the three school buildings for which the bonds were voted last year. The excavation for the three buildings is practically completed and the final plans have been received from the architect.... Two of the buildings are alike, the one which will be built on Rhode Island street and the one on the south side while the one on the north side will differ from the ones on the south side in that it will be finished without the view of adding a second story later. The building on the south side will be located on the south side of the Nineteen hundred block between Vermont and Kentucky and the Rhode Island school will be located on Rhode Island between Fourteenth and Fifteenth street.”

If you’re confused about whether a nuclear deal with Iran would be good for America — or for Israel — join the club. The club, that is, of folks who are debating the benefits of a deal versus the costs.

For unyielding critics of any deal, especially in Congress, such analysis is irrelevant. Their minds are made up — as negotiations with Iran wind toward a March 31 target date for a framework accord on curbing its nuclear program. They are convinced, as is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that Iran is an existential threat to Israel and that no deal can

Even those who support a deal in principle, myself included, have deep qualms. And Obama’s weak Mideast policy raises questions about how hard a bargain he’ll drive.” be good. Or they are ready to damn any deal President Obama would endorse.

But for the rest of us, such a debate is essential. Even those who support a deal in principle, myself included, have deep qualms. And Obama’s weak Mideast policy raises questions about how hard a bargain he’ll drive.

So how can an ordinary citizen evaluate a draft accord that may (or may not) be reached soon? Let me suggest four rules to help you make up your mind.

No deal carries costs Rule One: The risks of a deal must be weighed against the steep costs of no deal. (Keep this rule in mind when evaluating the terms of any deal.)

If negotiations collapse, Iran will resume its program of nuclear enrichment, which has essentially been frozen

under an interim accord.

Sanctions forced Iran to the table, but they did not prevent Tehran from building more centrifuges in the past.

Nor will they stop it from resuming work if talks end.

Moreover, if talks collapse, the international sanctions regime is likely to crack sooner rather than later, especially if the United States is blamed. To that point, there will be growing pressure from Israel and Gulf Arab states for a U.S. attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. This might set the nuclear program back a couple of years, but it won’t destroy it, because Iran already has the scientific know-how. A U.S. or Israeli strike would likely convince the ayatollahs to oust international inspectors and sprint toward bomb production — something they’ve refrained from doing until now.

A new Mideast war would also have unpredictable and dangerous consequences for the region — as did the Iraq war. This explains why many top Israeli security experts, including former heads of Mossad (the Israeli CIA), have reacted sharply to Netanyahu’s hostility toward talks.

“Netanyahu wants to stop Iran at any cost, which means a military operation is almost inevitable,” said former Israeli Brig. Gen. Shlomo Brom at a conference held by the liberal Zionist organization J Street.

“We know how to start wars but not how to end them,” he continued. “So we must con-

According to the Washington Post (“The untold story of how the sugar industry shaped key government research about your teeth,” March 11, 2015), the sugar industry swayed government funded research to focus on the wider use of fluoride and sealants in dental hygiene rather than recommending less sugar consumption.

The Lawrence city commissioners decide whether or not fluoride is added to our water supply. Interestingly, Wichita is more progressive than Lawrence in that is does not add fluoride to the water.

It is time for our city commissioners to quit playing doctor by medicating the population with fluoride in our tap water. Instead, our public servants should recommend the citizenry take personal responsibility for their own health and perhaps reduce their sugar intake. Those that believe fluoride is still good for the body can always choose fluoride toothpaste. I just hope they read the warning label first.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter plans to push a series of proposals, including a 401(k)-style pension plan and incentives for cyber warriors, aimed at attracting and retaining troops with the skills needed to fight modern wars.

Carter, who took office last month, intends to move quickly to enact changes before the Obama administration leaves the White House in early 2017, according to a senior aide who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Carter has identified building a new force capable of dealing with new threats and retaining top performers as a key priority.

Carter is scheduled to adH. DARR BEISER, USA dress military TODAY personnel issues Ashton Carter during a trip starting today.

An outline of the proposals was provided by a second senior Pentagon official who was not authorized to be identified because the plans haven’t been announced.

Among the initiatives: u Modernizing retirement pay. The vast majority of troops, including those called on to do most of the fighting, would get a 401(k)-style retirement account.

To qualify for a pension, troops must serve 20 years in uniform.

The majority of troops serve fewer years, many of them enlisted soldiers and Marines, and they qualify for no retirement benefits.

“About 83% leave with absolutely nothing,” said Todd Harrison, a military budget expert at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. “That’s especially true when you think about the people who have been fighting ... in Afghanistan and Iraq.” u Recruiting a new cyber space force. The Pentagon is building a force of 6,200 personnel, military and civilian, for its cyber mission. It has about half that many people now. It wants to have 133 teams across the services by 2018, according to the senior official. u Allowing midcareer breaks. Carter is considering sabbaticals for troops to return to college, the official said. They could earn degrees or enhance their qualifications and return, picking up where they left.

Arab League to assemble 40,000-troop strike force Will battle Islamic militants, groups aligned with Iran Richard Wolf and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Arab leaders agreed in principle Sunday to create a combined military force capable of battling Islamic militants and groups aligned with Iran, such as the Houthi rebels in Yemen now under attack from Arab-led forces.

The Arab League deal could increase tensions between Iran and moderate Arab nations backed by the United States.

Nabil Elaraby, who heads the 22-member Arab League, singled out Iran during a news conference for what he said was its intervention “in many nations,” the Associated Press reported.

SALEH AL-OBEIDI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Smoke billows from an arms depot Saturday in the city of Aden in Yemen, where Houthi rebels are under attack from Arab-led forces.

Even as Saudi Arabia completed a fourth day of airstrikes against rebels in Yemen, the Arab leaders warned it could take at least four months to pull together the 40,000-troop strike force.

Sunday’s announcement came as U.S.-led negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program neared a self-imposed deadline of Tuesday.

The Arab League leaders labored on two fronts, pushing ahead

with airstrikes in Yemen while laying the groundwork for a longer-term battle against extremists.

Saudi Brig. Gen. Ahmed bin Hasan Asiri said the airstrikes had driven the rebels off Yemeni air bases and destroyed rebel fighter jets, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.

In Washington, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States denied the airstrikes in Yemen amount to a “proxy war” against Iran, which has already expanded its influence in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. “We are doing this to protect Yemen,” Adel Al-Jubeir said on NBC’s Meet the Press.

Iran and the Houthis deny that Tehran arms the rebels. But Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said there is little doubt about Iran’s influence.

“We call them Houthis. But this is Iran,” Burr said Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation.

Indiana Gov. Pence stands firm on religious freedom law

But clarifying statute may address gay bias Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence defended his state’s new religious freedom law Sunday while refusing to say if it would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Facing a rising tide of criticism and business boycotts against his state, Pence said he would consider a second law that “amplifies and clarifies” the first one but

added, “We’re not going to change the law.”

“We have suffered under this avalanche of condemnation, and it’s completely baseless,” Pence said on ABC’s This Week. “This isn’t about disputes between individuals. It’s about government overreach.”

The law Pence signed Thursday prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person’s ability to exercise their religion — unless the government can show that it has a compelling interest and that the action is the least restrictive way to achieve it. It takes effect July 1.

On Saturday, thousands of peo-

ple gathered in downtown Indianapolis to protest the law that critics say could allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

List, which put off a planned $40 million expansion.

The governor’s effort to quell the firestorm did little to mollify gay rights organizations.

“Governor Pence’s calls for a

clarification of this destructive bill are phony unless the legislation guarantees explicit non-discrimination protections,” said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the law “appears to legitimize discrimination.”

The Supreme Court has weighed in on religious freedom recently but has not resolved what private businesses with religious objections can and cannot do when it comes to serving gays.

‘Latino SXSW’: Strategy amid diversity Rick Jervis @MrRJervis USA TODAY

MIAMI Anyone interested in what the dot.com future may hold would have done well by strolling through the second floor of the InterContinental Hotel here recently.

In Miami, those very diverse faces that have eluded the upper echelons of Yahoo and Facebook shared ideas and unfurled their cyber strategies.

Hispanics make up just 4% of managerial positions at Yahoo and even fewer at Facebook and Google. That number drops even further for African Americans.

In Miami, those very diverse faces that have eluded the upper echelons of Yahoo and Facebook ... unfurled their cyber strategies.

als — such as lawyers, accountants and computer scientists — make up 5% of all professionals at Facebook, Google and Yahoo but 13% of similar professionals nationwide.

Meanwhile, Latinos are the nation’s largest minority, numbering 53 million in the U.S., and its fastest growing. By 2060, they’re expected to make up one-third of the total population and have more than $1 trillion in spending power.

Attendees at Hispanicize didn’t seem overly concerned with those disparate stats. They appeared less anxious about climbing corporate ladders at Silicon Valley and more focused on starting their own empires.

Hispanicize is the brainchild of Manny Ruiz, whom I knew from our days working at the campus newspaper at MiamiDade Community College two decades ago. Ruiz left journalism to start a Hispanic-focused public relations firm, sold that and used the proceeds to launch Hispanicize. The gathering has grown from 260 attendees at its inaugural event five years ago to more than 2,000 today.

“We’re in a new era where there’s so much opportunity for everyone,” Ruiz told me. “You don’t have to be in Silicon Valley anymore to succeed.”

It was a mantra repeated throughout the conference.

Entrepreneurs shared stores of how they’ve cobbled careers out

of blogs and YouTube channels with names like Rocking Mama and Crafty Chica, drawing hundreds of thousands of loyal online followers and the attention of major brands willing to pay handsomely for that coveted audience. There was very little talk of trying to break into Google.

Alejandra Ayala, 29, started her fashion/beauty blog and YouTube channel, known as Chulavision, two years ago. She began in English, with just 1,200 subscribers. But when Ayala, who’s Mexican-American, started posting videos in Spanish, her channel quickly swelled to 123,000 subscribers. Her YouTube channel has since captured 5 million views.

Ayala said she doesn’t know how far she’ll take her project.

But the fact that brands are reaching out to her tells her something about the direction of online enterprises.

“Slowly, they’re starting to notice us,” Ayala said about both her loyal following and corporations willing to pay for a few seconds of their time. “They’re starting to realize the impact we can have.” Asked about the lack of diversity in Silicon Valley, Ayala smiled. “If someone doesn’t want to give it to us,” she said, “we’re going to find a way to get it.”

Islamic State beheads 8 men led by teens to die Hostages described by jihadist fighter as ‘impure infidels’ William M. Welch USA TODAY

The Islamic State group released a new video Sunday showing its fighters cutting off the heads of eight men described as Shiite Muslims, who were led to their execution by teenage boys.

The eight men were said to be beheaded in the central Syrian province of Hama. Blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs, the men are seen being led forward in a field by teenage boys, the Daily Mail reported.

The video was posted on social media. It could not be independently verified but it appeared to be genuine, the Associated Press reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the United Kingdom said the video appeared authentic.

The video shows the hostages led in a field by teenage boys, where they were handed over to a group of fighters. A boy wearing a black uniform is seen handing out knives to the fighters before the men are killed.

An Islamic State fighter speaks in the video, calling the hostages “impure infidels” and saying the military campaign against the Islamic State will make the group stronger.

NATION/WORLD

Plane skids off runway; 23 hurt Jane Onyanga-Omara and John Bacon USA TODAY

An Air Canada plane skidded off the runway at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia, injuring 23 people on board, the airline said Sunday.

There were 133 passengers and five crewmembers aboard the Airbus A320. All left the plane after the incident, it said. The airport said none of the injuries were life-threatening. Eighteen were later released, Air Canada said.

Peter Spurway, a spokesman for the airport, said the plane “took a very hard landing and skidded off the runway,” CBC News reported. Heavy snow was

reported in the area at the time of the accident, at approximately 12:43 a.m.

“Right now, we have some minor injuries. Nothing that is deemed to be life-threatening,” Spurway said, according to CBC. Power at the airport was briefly knocked out and Nova Scotia Power said they had restored it.

The cause of the outage was not clear. Spurway said he was not sure if the two incidents are connected.

Passengers told the Associated Press they believe the aircraft hit a power line as it came in to land and described the plane skidding on its belly for some time. Passengers also said they evacuated the plane — and were left standing on the tarmac, some in their stocking feet, for more than an

hour in a brutal snowstorm before buses arrived.

Spurway said the incident was technically not a crash because the plane, which had departed Toronto, is believed to have been under control when it came into the airfield. He added that there is no indication what caused the hard landing.

Greg Wright, waiting for his 13year-old son, who was a passenger on the plane, told CBC he thought his son was joking when he called from the aircraft.

Wright said: “He said, ‘We crashed, we crashed.’ I said, ‘Where are you?’ He said, ‘I’m on the runway.’ I was panicked.”

The airport said operations resumed early Sunday. Federal investigators were investigating the crash.

GERMANWINGS CRASH IN THE ALPS

A police officer decorated for heroism during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing manhunt was improving Sunday after being critically wounded in a shooting Friday, officials said.

James Moynihan, 34, was shot in the face “at point blank range” Friday night, police said. The suspect, Angelo West, 41, was fatally shot by officers returning fire, police said in a statement.

Moynihan was placed in a medically induced coma after the shooting. Police Commissioner William Evans said Sunday that surgeon’s at Boston Medical Center had removed the bullet and that Moynihan’s condition was upgraded to stable and improving.

“I was happy to hear that he made it through surgery without any complications,” Evans said.

“It shows you what a strong kid he is.”

CO-PILOT PERSUADED CAPTAIN TO LEAVE COCKPIT Report of data recorder transcripts reveals the last minutes of doomed flight

“If there was a motive or reason, we don’t want to hear it.

It’s not relevant.

What is relevant is this should never happen again.”

Philip Bramley, whose son Paul, 27, died in the crash

John Bacon and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings flight repeatedly suggested that the captain leave the cockpit, then locked him out and stymied his desperate efforts to return, according to data recorder transcripts reported Sunday.

Flight 9525’s captain, Patrick Sondheimer, screamed, “For God’s sake, open the door!” when he realized co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had essentially jammed the cockpit door, according to transcripts obtained by the German newspaper Bild.

French and German investigators say Lubitz, 27, deliberately crashed the Düsseldorf-bound jet into the French Alps less than an hour after departing Barcelona on Tuesday, killing himself and the other 149 people on board.

In Rome, Pope Francis offered prayers for the victims after Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.

The transcript in Bild, translated by London’s Daily Mail, describes a tranquil cockpit after takeoff where Lubitz suggested Sondheimer go to the toilet, noting that Sondheimer had not done so in Barcelona. About 20 minutes later, Lubitz says, “You can go now.”

Two minutes later the pilot says, “You can take over,” and apparently leaves the cockpit. The plane begins its descent almost

immediately at 10:29 a.m.

Within minutes, Bild describes a loud bang as someone attempts to enter the cockpit, then Sondheimer yells, “For God’s sake, open the door!” Passengers are heard screaming.

At 10:35 a.m., more banging, and less than two minutes later the pilot is heard yelling, “Open the goddam door!”

At 10:40 a.m., the right wing of the jet clips a mountain and the last sounds are those of passengers screaming, Bild reports.

German newspaper Die Welt reported that Lubitz was suffering from a “psychosomatic” illness and that investigators found prescription medication in his

Düsseldorf apartment. Other German media reported that Lubitz apparently suffered from depression. According to Bild, Lubitz was being treated for vision problems that he feared could jeopardize his career.

Philip Bramley, whose son Paul, 27, a Briton, died in the crash, said such an incident “should never happen again.”

He said, “What happened on the morning of 24 March was the act of a person who at the very least was ill,” Sky News reported Saturday. “If there was a motive or reason, we don’t want to hear it. It’s not relevant. What is relevant is this should never happen again.”

Andreas Lubitz takes part in a road race in Hamburg, Germany, in 2009.

“There are rules that would prohibit you from popping out of a car and opening up fire on a police officer.”

The Rev. Mark Scott

Moynihan on Sunday at St. Patrick’s Church in the Roxbury section of Boston, near where the shootout took place.

Moynihan’s Youth Violence Strike Force was responding to a report of gunshots when officers conducted a motor vehicle stop Friday night. West, the driver, leaped from the car, turned and shot Moynihan, Evans said.

Evans expressed condolences to West’s family and loved ones but said the shooting was necessary. An unidentified woman also was wounded; her involvement in the case was not immediately revealed and police did not say who shot her.

Moynihan is white; West is black. Recent shootings involving black suspects by white police officers have led to sometimes violent protests in Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere.

The Rev. Mark Scott, a member of the Boston’s Black Ministerial Alliance, told The Boston Globe the encounter between Moynihan and West was “nearly an assassination-style shooting.”

“We condemn the behavior of the man that was involved in the shooting,” Scott said. “There are rules that would prohibit you from popping out of a car and opening up fire on a police officer.”

Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley pledged an “impartial review” of Friday’s shootout.

Moynihan’s commendations include the the department’s Medal of Honor in 2014. He was honored that same year as a recipient of the Nation’s Top Cops Award, issued by President Obama, for his actions during a shootout during the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers.

Monroe Schools Superintendent Phil Cagwin said he will be “very disappointed” if Ohio voters were to approve the legalization of marijuana and permit a marijuana farm to operate 1.5 miles from Monroe’s combined elementary and high school.

“In our schools, we do what we can to educate our children about the potential dangers of these drugs and also for other high-risk behaviors,” said the leader of the Butler County school system, which enrolls 2,600 students in this community of about 13,061, according to the U.S. Census’ 2013 estimate. Monroe is about 31 miles northeast of Cincinnati.

Elevation Burger gets leg up on McDonald’s Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY

Fast food’s race to produce better-for-you chicken is about to see a most-unlikely leader leap to the front of the pack: Elevation Burger.

The mostly organic fast-casual chain, with just 33 domestic locations, is on the brink of one-upping not only McDonald’s, but the entire fast-food industry.

The Falls Church, Va.-based chain’s move into organic chicken

this month will likely soon make it the nation’s top fast-food seller of organic chicken. Elevation Burger already ranks as the country’s biggest fast-food seller of organic beef.

“Others are talking about it, but we’re doing it,” boasts Rick Altizer, CEO of Elevation Burger, a former McDonald’s regional executive who joined Elevation Burger one year ago. “We are forcing the world’s leading fastfood chain to change the way it operates.”

Earlier this month, McDonald’s jolted the fast-food world by announcing that over the next two years it will stop using chicken treated with antibiotics com-

monly used for humans.

McDonald’s is responding to growing pressure from consumers who don’t want antibiotics in their food. Chick-fil-A plans to drop antibiotics from its chicken over five years. Chicken giants Tyson and Perdue both have

ramped-up production of antibiotic-free chicken.

But this movement by Elevation Burger toward organic chicken — raised not only without antibiotics but without pesticides or hormones — appears to be a watershed moment for the organic food movement in the U.S. Consider: Some 45% of Americans say they actively try to include organic foods in their diets, according to a recent Gallup Poll.

“Going organic isn’t easy,” says Laura Batcha, executive director of the Organic Trade Association.

“We hope this serves as an example of how people can usually find a way to do the right thing if they persist.” Overall organic poultry

sales hit $401 million in 2013, a 9% increase vs. 2012, says the trade group.

Of course, organic costs more.

Elevation’s new Grilled Organic Chicken Sandwich costs $5.95 without fries or a drink. At many McDonald’s, you can bag an entire combo meal for that.

The first Elevation Burger was opened in 2005 by Hans and April Hess after the couple couldn’t find a “healthy” burger they could feel good about feeding their kids. Their newest challenge is finding enough chicken that’s organic certified. Only a fraction of livestock raised in the U.S., about 0.4%, comes from organic farms.

JAY Z TO TAKE HELM OF HIGH-RES MUSIC SERVICE Hip-hop mogul Jay Z is expected to unveil his blueprint for highresolution music-streaming service Tidal today. Jay Z and special guests “will announce a commitment to a new direction for the music industry from both a creative and business perspective,” at an event in New York City. He made a $56 million bid last month for Tidal’s Scandinavian-based parent company Aspiro. Tidal charges $19.99 monthly with no free listening tier.

WHEELER: NET RULES WILL HOLD UP TO COURT REVIEW FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is confident that the agency’s net neutrality rules, adopted last month, will survive upcoming legal challenges. He made the prediction Friday at Ohio State University. The open Internet, or net neutrality, rules give the Federal Communications Commission authority to prevent Internet service providers from blocking or throttling content users want to access and from seeking payments in exchange for faster delivery. Last year, a court tossed out the previous rules.

“About a year ago, something started to change. There was no external trigger; just a feeling that I had shifted, not the workplace.”

She plans to “take a year or two off from TV,” she said.

Storage tight as supply surges beyond demand Paul Davidson USA TODAY

The U.S. is running out of places to stash its overflowing oil supplies, threatening to further drive down crude prices that rebounded in recent days.

Supply — including oil produced in the U.S. and imported — has been outpacing U.S. refiners’ demand by about 1 million barrels a day on average since early January, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Advanced drilling techniques that extract crude from shale rock have made the U.S. the world’s No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas liquids. The surge has outpaced a less dramatic rise in U.S. consumption, and exports of gasoline and diesel. Also, many refiners have shut down some operations for a maintenance season likely to run another month or so.

The surplus oil goes into storage, with 8.2 million barrels stocked away last week, EIA figures released Wednesday show.

Oil inventories are the highest in at least 80 years. The industry is using about 67% of the 520 million barrels of working storage capacity across the nation, up from 48% in early 2014. Much of the tanks are filled by traders who buy oil at today’s contract price of about $48 a barrel, store it, and sell futures contracts to deliver the crude in a year at higher price, turning a profit after paying storage costs.

In Cushing, Okla., the nation’s delivery point for such swaps, 80% of the region’s 71 million barrels of storage space is occupied, up from 24% in October.

That means it’s close to effective capacity because a portion of the tanks is earmarked for moving oil in and out each day, while some is set aside for grades of crude that may not match customer needs.

“More oil is being stored (in Cushing) than ever before,” says Hillary Stevenson, manager of supply chain networks for Genscape, a research firm that surveys oil inventories. “They are getting very full.”

Brian Busch, Genscape’s director of oil markets, expects Cush-

ing’s tanks to reach their limit by late April or early May. That’s likely to ripple across the country, analysts say. Although storage is available elsewhere, such as in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico region, traders must pay to transport it to Cushing. The higher costs would force sellers to reduce oil prices to preserve traders’ profit margins and keep their business, says oil analyst Andy Weissman of EBW Analytics.

And with storage capacity constrained, surplus oil that can’t be stocked is likely to be thrown onto an already oversupplied U.S. market, further pushing down crude prices, Busch says.

Weissman predicts the storage crunch will drive down the U.S. benchmark price another $5 in coming weeks, though he says a drop of as much as $12 is possible.

Malcolm Turner, CEO Of Turner Mason consulting, thinks any U.S. storage shortage will be mild and play a small role in industry dynamics, reducing prices by less than $2 a barrel. Besides abundant U.S. production, global oil prices have been held down by weak overseas economic growth.

The storage pinch should ease when the refinery maintenance season ends in four to six weeks, says Robert Merriam, EIA’s manager of petroleum supply statistics. But Stevenson says it could continue for months if it remains profitable for traders to hoard crude for future delivery.

Last week, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) edged up about $1 a barrel to about $50 after Saudi Arabia’s air strike of Yemen sparked fears of oil supply disruptions. The increase narrowed the spread between current prices and the price for delivery in a year to about $8 from $11 a few weeks ago.

If WTI prices drift still higher, it could erase traders’ profit margins after accounting for storage fees, helping ease the storage bottleneck, Stevenson says.

But Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service, says the recent hike is likely to be temporary with prices falling back toward $40 in coming months and storage concerns intensifying.

The situation has revived calls by oil producers to lift a U.S. ban on crude exports that has tempered prices.

Strong U.S. dollar spurs overseas business travel Companies are increasingly letting workers cross Atlantic Nancy Trejos USA TODAY

Brian Lyne has traveled overseas for work more often in recent months.

The director of global business development for a telecommunications company in Morrisville, N.C., is doing exactly what his title suggests: developing business globally. Lately, he’s met with clients in London, Reading and Manchester in the United Kingdom. He plans to return to England as well as Germany and India in the next few months.

“We have made several more trips overseas to build business and interact with our customers,” he says.

With the U.S. dollar and euro almost reaching parity and other foreign currencies weakening, companies are increasingly letting their employees cross the Atlantic.

“From London to Paris, Dublin, Rome or Barcelona, even the most in-demand destinations are offering discounts and the dollar is stretching so much further,” says Orbitz.com Senior Editor Jeanenne Tornatore.

And business travelers are taking advantage of that.

In 2014, there was a 6% increase in international outbound business trips over the previous year, according to the Global Business Travel Association and a 1.1% increase in 2013.

CHEAPER OVERSEAS HOTELS The surging dollar has helped U.S. business travelers find lower hotel prices in many European cities: Destinations

Also last year, there was an 8% increase in spending on international outbound business trips, compared with 1.9% in 2013, indicating that more travelers are heading overseas.

“We’re definitely seeing an impact of the stronger dollar as well as lower commodity prices, especially the lower cost of jet fuel and other goods and services that rely on the price of fuel,” says Joe Bates, vice president of research at the GBTA. According to Orbitz, airfare is down 6% and hotel rates have dropped 3% in Europe.

George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, expects business class airfares to decrease over the summer and early fall, as they normally do. “They go down to sometimes an incredibly low level,” he says. Economy class fares are also softening on some routes, Hobica says.

Lyne says he has noticed that hotels are offering more off-sea-

son rates and that he and his colleagues have been able to negotiate even lower prices. As a result, they have been able to take trips that last 10 to 15 days rather than going on multiple trips for shorter periods. They can also stay at boutique hotels rather than the typical U.S. chains they gravitate towards because of price.

“Food costs and rentals at face value don’t seem to have changed but the overall cost certainly has lowered,” he says.

The weaker euro is potentially having one adverse effect on business travel.

It is making traveling to the USA more expensive for Europeans and other international travelers.

Bruce Ford, senior vice president at research firm Lodging Econometrics, says travel to the USA is 20% more expensive in relative dollars for international visitors.

There’s no place like home, but hotels are trying to change that Adding amenities to compete with rentals Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

Want a hotel that feels like home? So did Kristin Stallings when she recently looked for accommodations in Florida to celebrate her wedding anniversary.

A small, pricey room, where everything felt “smashed together,” wasn’t at the top of her list, says Stallings, a loan risk analyst from Houston.

“I remembered how much I dislike middle-of-the-night door slamming, loud hallway discussions and noisy neighbors,” she adds. “More than once I’ve had to request a new room due to noise.”

Raise your hand if you know how this one ends. If you guessed that Stallings skipped a hotel and ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

rented a home instead, bonus points.

True, more people than ever are choosing vacation rentals over hotels. But hotels aren’t taking this lying down. They’re adding amenities to make their accommodations more home-like while retaining some of the best features of a hotel, like security and a consistent product. Result: As competition heats up, modern hotels have become roomier and more amenity-rich than ever.

They’ve become, for lack of a better term, vacation-rentalized.

To understand what happened, rewind to the launch of HomeAway.com. It’s the dominant vacation rental website, and it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

The site gave the vacation rental market the legitimacy and visibility it long sought. But, more importantly, its clever marketing made consumers like Stallings aware that they had more options.

By 2009, HomeAway had almost half a million active listings, according to Revaluate, a market research firm. Today, HomeAway and Airbnb have roughly 1 million

active listings each and annual revenues nearing half a billion dollars, some of which has come at the expense of the traditional hotel industry.

“All of the recent research seems to agree that hotels’ profitability has been negatively impacted by the growth of short-term rentals,” says Max Galka, Revaluate’s CEO. The upshot? As their profits stalled, hotels reacted by making their accommodations more home-like. For example, the Four Seasons Hotel Houston recently added to its hotel inventory 64 residences with full kitchens, a dining area and living space separated from the bedroom area. Fifty NYC, in midtown Manhattan, just spent $19 million on a renovation meant to attract more long-term customers by adding kitchenettes with stove tops, toasters, microwaves, sinks and refrigerators.

And don’t forget the fast-growing all-suites properties, like Marriott’s SpringHill and TownePlace. Or upscale hotel brands such as Montage Hotels & Resorts, which just opened its first Hawaii property, Montage

But, he says, “travel in the U.S. is still cheaper than many European cities in real dollars.”

David Huether, senior vice president of research for the U.S. Travel Association, says inbound travel from Western Europe grew 6% last year and will continue to grow. But spending is down a bit.

“The growth in traveler spending in the U.S. has slowed somewhat but it’s important to note that it’s still at an all-time high,” he says. “International travelers are not canceling their plans to visit the U.S.; they’re simply readjusting their travel budgets a bit.”

Brian McMahon, a partner at an international design research firm in Redwood City, Calif., says that because his business has a mix of U.S. clients having to work overseas and overseas clients having to work in the USA, the stronger dollar has had no real impact on the bottom line.

“Currency exchange moves balance out over time,” he says.

Just because the dollar is going farther doesn’t mean that all business travelers can upgrade to the penthouse suite.

Monica Newberry, a senior projects manager in the events industry who lives in St. Petersburg, Fla., says she has seen on upswing in international business after a bit of a lull. That’s not making her splurge on pricier hotels because she still has to answer to her clients.

“However, I do find myself personally splurging on a better restaurant and enjoying attractions that I previously may not have done,” she says.

US Airways’ Dividend Miles frequent-flier program began its fade into history Saturday as American started to automatically transfer members’ miles into its own AAdvantage program.

The transition is the most tangible sign yet of the merger between the carriers, who combined in December 2013 but still have separate operations.

American expects the transition to continue into the middle of this week. The airline stresses fliers will not lose any miles as it combines accounts, though members’ US Airways miles may be unavailable until they are fully transitioned into their AAdvantage accounts.

DUBAI TO DISNEY

United Arab Emirates-based carrier Emirates will make Orlando its 10th destination in the United States, launching non-stop service to its Dubai hub on Sept. 1.

Emirates will fly one daily round-trip flight on the route using 266-seat Boeing 777-200LR aircraft. The planes are configured with eight first-class “suites,” 42 lie-flat business-class seats and 216 seats in coach.

Emirates will be the first airline to offer regularly scheduled passenger service between Orlando to the Persian Gulf region. Orlando is one of the top tourist destinations for foreign visitors to the United States.

Emirates’ other nine U.S. destinations are Boston, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston Bush Intercontinental, Los Angeles, New York John F. Kennedy, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington Dulles.

BETTING ON BOISE

Alaska Airlines continues to beef up its presence within the West, announcing a new route between Boise and Spokane, Wash. Beginning Aug. 24, Alaska Air affiliate Horizon Air will fly two daily round-trip flights between the cities on 76-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft.

“Boise-Spokane is a highly requested market for us and is particularly important for business passengers in the Pacific Northwest,” John Kirby, Alaska Air’s vice president of capacity planning, said in a statement. “Our schedule has both morning and evening departures, which are designed to allow day trips in both directions.”

HOW TO FIND ACCOMMODATIONS SIMILAR TO HOME

uKnow where to find the rentals online. Sites such as HomeAway.com, FlipKey.com and Airbnb.com can offer a range of rental accommodations. All are worth bookmarking if you’re looking for a home-like experience. uLook offline, too. Travel agents, newspaper classified-ad sections and yes, even an in-person inquiry in a resort area can turn up a deal on a vacation rental. Hint: Those throwaway weekly newspapers circulating at your favorite vacation destination sometimes have some pretty good deals. uDon’t skip a hotel.

Conventional hotels may offer a

Kapalua Bay. That property features one-, two-, three- and fourbedroom residential-style suites that include full kitchens, washers and dryers and serious entertainment centers.

“A lot of hotels now include a kitchen corner or even a fullyequipped kitchen in suites,” says Olivier Olielo, who runs a luxury hotel website. “This usually includes a large fridge, a sink and a microwave.”

Point being, hotels are competing with home rentals like never

before, and that’s great for everyone. You can often book a bigger, better hotel room at the same rate as the old, closet-sized, amenity-starved accommodations pre-HomeAway.com.

(Though not always; rates at the upscale Montage start at $695 a night.)

Where’s all this headed? With more kinds of accommodations available in North America than perhaps at any other time in the history of the modern hotel industry, you don’t have to settle for the same-old.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

The first time I met Justin Bieber was in the summer of 2010.

He was 16, and his long blond bangs were a latter-day moptop rage.

Bieber seemed less a pop star and more a kid from the Canadian suburbs who loved hockey and pranks. But fame had him in its sights. He seemed like he was desperately trying to keep the monster at bay.

“I’m still young,” he told me.

“I’m still trying to figure out who I am, and I’m just trying to have fun.”

Over the ensuing five years, Bieber made millions, dated Disney star Selena Gomez and grew his Twitter army to 62 million strong.

Yet he also seemed to change.

Our interviews grew less frequent, and when they did happen, Bieber seemed distracted.

In 2014 alone, Bieber was arrested in Miami for driving with an expired license, ordered to do community service and pay restitution after egging a neighbor’s house in Calabasas, Calif., and arrested for dangerous driving near his hometown near Toronto.

Suddenly, he was known for his bad-boy behavior. His last big album, Believe, was released in 2012.

Still, in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY, the Biebs says he’s turned a corner. At 21, he’s eager to show off a newfound maturity that begins with a pop culture trial-by-comedic-fire, the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber, which airs tonight (10 ET/PT).

Here’s what he had to say:

But overall it was really good, very funny, with Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell coming out. That was definitely my favorite part: Will.

The star-studded voice cast for the DreamWorks Animation film pulled off an impressive $54 million to win the weekend, according to studio estimates.

The higher-than-expected performance easily outmuscled Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell in the R-rated prison comedy Get Hard.

Home scored 48% with critics on RottenTomatoes.com. Audiences graded it an A on CinemaScore.

Hart and Ferrell did pull in $34.6 million with Get Hard, which is a career high for an R-

rated film for both actors. Phil Contrino, analyst for BoxOffice.com, says the pairing allowed both stars to pull in each of their respective, diverse audiences.

“It’s a good debut for Get Hard despite finishing behind Home, which we were expecting,” says Contrino.

Self: KU might ‘soften’ its schedule

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Coleman could be best bet at WR Signs of spring: Flowers budding, birds chirping louder, the scent of freshcut grass floating in the breeze and jaws dropping watching Kansas University wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman, long, lean and, above all, fast.

Anyone who watched him run under long passes with such an effortless stride couldn’t stop talking about him last spring.

And then the season arrived. He began it serving a suspension and ended it with just three receptions for 37 yards. He was arrested in December for his role in a fight outside The Cave.

Yet, the best guess as to the identity of which wide receiver will lead the team in reception yardage in 2015 would be Coleman.

Nick Harwell (44 catches, 470 yards, five touchdowns) is gone. Nigel King, 537 reception yards and 17.9 yards per catch, bypassed his final year of eligibility in hopes of landing with an NFL team.

The wide-receiver cupboard is as bare as any position for Kansas, although Coleman’s potential remains intriguing. He averaged 26 yards on his eight receptions in 2013.

Tre’ Parmalee (four receptions, 21 yards) and Darious Crawley (one catch, seven yards) are the only other wide receivers on the roster who caught a pass last season.

Aside from Coleman, the most promising receivers this spring are sophomores who bring more speed than size.

Bobby Hartzog Jr. and Crawley both are listed at 5-foot-11, 189 pounds.

Hartzog’s a burner. Last season, asked to name the second-fastest player on the team, Tony Pierson named Hartzog. Crawley, switched from receiver to running back in mid-season, is back at his original position. Derrick Neal, a 5-10, 170-pound explosive athlete, switched from receiver to cornerback in mid-season as a freshman and is back at receiver.

True freshman Chase Harrell, 6-4, 200, who graduated from high school at the semester, is long and raw. Red-shirt freshman Tyler Patrick, 6-foot, 179, is really fast and very raw.

A trio of two-star receivers from Texas high schools — Jeremiah Booker, Emmanuel Moore and Steven Sims — hit campus in June.

The relative inexperience of wide-receivers coach Klint Kubiak, 28, isn’t as great a concern with offensive coordinator Rob Likens, who has a long, strong history of developing college wide receivers, on board.

An argument could be made that KU could be as good or better at quarterback, running back and offensive line as a year ago, but even if Coleman unleashes his exciting potential, it would be tough to make that case at wide receiver.

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s Jayhawks played the toughest schedule in the country the past two seasons, according to strength-of-schedule ratings calculated by ESPN. com.

The Jayhawks, who went 27-9 this past season and 25-10 in 2013-14, winning the

Big 12 title both years but losing its Round of 32 game in the NCAAs, will continue to play a difficult schedule in coming years, Self says.

“I will not say ‘lighten’ is the right word. I don’t know we need to do a whole bunch, (but) we need to soften it some,” Self said last week.

“Those are not the hard games,” he stated of marquee matchups such as the Champions Classic, in which KU plays Michigan State, Duke and Kentucky on a rotating basis. “The hard games are the ones which are guarantee games where you have to play the entire 40 minutes because they are the best team in their respective leagues.

“The last two years it’s

probably been too much for a really young team,” added Self, who has found it difficult to work in his newcomers in many of the nonconference contests, denying them experience prior to conference play.

“Depending who returns, we could have more of a veteran team. Hopefully that could play to our favor

TEXAS JUNIOR STEPHANIE CEO (48) LOOKS BACK AT THE BAG AFTER STEALING SECOND BASE and beating a tag by Kansas University junior Chaley Brickey during UT’s 7-5 victory Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.

KU’s rally falls short; UT sweeps

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Five solo home runs and a loading of the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning were not enough to save Kansas University from a softball sweep by Texas.

Thanks to a pair of threerun innings by the Longhorns (23-9 overall, 3-0 Big 12), who pounded out 35 hits during the three-game, weekend sweep, No. 22 KU opened Big 12 play with three consecutive losses, the last of which was a 7-5 setback on Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.

“Instead of sticking to what we do well and outworking teams, I think we kind of rolled in here thinking we’re better than we are,” KU coach Megan Smith said.

“And you can’t ever do that.”

The Jayhawks (29-5, 0-3) were held to 11 hits during the first two losses of the series on Friday and Saturday but matched that total Sunday.

That included the five

KANSAS SENIOR CHANIN NAUDIN, RIGHT, GETS A HIGH-FIVE from coach Megan Smith as she rounds third base after hitting a secondinning solo home run, one of five homers by KU on Sunday. home runs — an explosion that also happened in a midFebruary victory and was one shy of tying a school record — and a pair of hits in the bottom of the seventh that helped load the bases and put the winning run on first base. But a foul out along the first-base line and

a strikeout by junior center fielder Briana Evans on a full count sealed the Jayhawks’ fate.

Despite coming up short, Smith and senior third baseman Chanin Naudin said the seventh-inning rally, which began with a solo home run from junior shortstop Chaley

Brickey, made the sweep easier to accept.

“The fight was good,” Smith said. “But I still think we’ve gotta work harder.”

Added Naudin, who joined Brickey, Daniella Chavez (2) and Lily Behrmann in launching home runs: “If we get knocked down, that’s fine.

But we need to keep fighting. We did that (in the seventh inning), and that’s how we play. So we just need to do that the whole game, and we’ll be fine.”

It’s rare for a team to hit five home runs in a game and lose, but Naudin said the bad break for Kansas was a product of not getting enough runners on base and fighting on every pitch. Smith looked at it differently.

“You’re glad you get ’em,” Smith said of the home runs.

“But I felt like we had opportunities to score more runs.

Not very clutch. Solo shots aren’t clutch hits. Those are great, but that’s not showing Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C

Three No. 1 seeds in the Final Four

By Jim O’Connell AP Basketball Writer

If you liked the look of last year’s Final Four, you will love the 2015 edition.

One game — Kentucky vs.

Wisconsin — is not only a matchup of two No. 1 seeds,

it’s a replay of last year’s semifinal won by Kentucky, 74-73.

Seventh-seeded Michigan State will face Duke, a fourtime national champion led by coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is in his 12th Final Four, tying the legendary John Wooden.

It is the fifth time at least three No. 1 seeds reached the Final Four.

The only top-seed sweep was in 2008.

This is the third straight year one conference has had two teams in the Final Four with Wisconsin

and Michigan State coming from the Big Ten. The Southeastern Conference did it last year with Kentucky and Florida and the Big East had Louisville and Syracuse in 2013.

Cubs, Jackson rout K.C.

Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Edwin Jackson arrived at the ballpark in time for a solid spring start with the Chicago Cubs.

Jackson allowed one hit in 42⁄3 innings, and the Cubs hit three homers in a 7-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Jackson struck out three and walked one. He was hit hard in his previous outing after he had trouble finding Oakland’s spring ballpark.

Jackson is competing for the last spot in the Cubs’ rotation after going 6-15 with a 6.33 ERA last season.

“It’s not going to be judged off one start,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s something I don’t worry about. Like I’ve been saying from the beginning, just go out and be myself and at the end of the day, whatever is going to happen is going to happen. No need to worry about it, just go out pitch your game and let the pieces fall into place.”

Miguel Montero, Matt Szczur and Junior Lake homered for Chicago, and Tommy La Stella went 3-for-3 and scored a run.

Royals right-hander Edinson Volquez struck out eight in five-plus innings. He was charged with two runs and six hits.

“I think this is the best one of all of whole spring training,” Volquez said.

Montero went deep in the first. Lake connected in the eighth against Wade Davis, who did not surrender a home run in 72 innings last season.

Szczur hit his fourth spring homer in Chicago’s four-run ninth off Royals closer Greg Holland.

Bryant plays left Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, one of the top prospects in the majors, made his second spring training start in left field. The team wants its young players to be able to play more than one position.

Bryant went 0-for-3 at the plate, striking out twice. His spring batting average dropped to .425.

Starting time Cubs: Jackson entered with a 7.59 ERA in 102⁄3 spring innings.

“Just a better job of making adjustments,” Jackson said.

“Miggy (Montero) did a great job of controlling the game behind the plate, mixing up pitches. We also had some great defensive plays. It was a little bit of everything working in my favor today.”

Royals: Volquez said he is close to being where he wants to be to start the season.

“I don’t want to say 100 percent,” Volquez said. “I’m think I’m probably 90 percent.”

Leitao returns to DePaul

Chicago — The most recent time DePaul reached the NCAA Tournament, Dave Leitao was the coach.

The Blue Demons hope he can take them there again.

Leitao, who coached DePaul from 2002-05, was brought back to lead the men’s basketball program Sunday.

“This is a special day for my family and me,” he said in a statement. “I underestimated what a special place DePaul University and the city of Chicago are when I left here in 2005. The dedication and support here to the growth of student success is second to none, not only for a basketball program but also for the entire student body.

“I’m proud and our team will be proud to represent this great institution in one of the world’s great cities. We will exude the work ethic that drives Chicago and the region every day and look forward to everyone joining us next season.”

Leitao, who led the Blue Demons to three postseason appearances and the NCAAs in 2004 in his first stint, left DePaul to take over at Virginia. He was there for four years and was

AUTO RACING

Hamlin takes Martinsville Martinsville, Va. — Denny Hamlin passed teammate Matt Kenseth for the lead with 28 laps to go Sunday and went on to end Toyota’s 32-race winless streak in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway.

The driver for Joe Gibbs Racing held off a fivelap, bumper-to-tail challenge from Brad Keselowski for his 25th career race and fifth at the smallest and oldest track in the premier series.

“I did everything I could other than wreck him,” Keselowski said.

The victory also came after a terrible blunder by four-time series champion and eight-time Martinsville winner Jeff Gordon. He took the lead for the first time with 58 laps to go and then got caught entering pit road too fast when the 16th and final caution came out with about 40 laps to go.

The mistake put him well back in the field, and he rallied to finish a disappointing ninth.

“Wow. I’m sorry guys,” he said on the radio when told of the penalty. “That’s on me.”

NCAA MEN’S TOURNAMENT

MSU, Duke go on ————

Spartans work OT to make Final 4 Michigan State 76, Louisville 70, OT Syracuse, N.Y. — Travis Trice vowed a day earlier that he wasn’t going to cry should the Michigan State Spartans continue their improbable run to the Final Four.

The senior guard’s vow lasted no more than 10 seconds once the final horn sounded following Michigan State’s overtime victory over Louisville in a thrilling NCAA Tournament East Regional final Sunday.

Amid the frenzied celebration, Trice squatted down at center court and began to sob uncontrollably.

“I was actually trying to hold it in,” Trice said. “I try to keep it even keeled.

I’m mad that I even cried now.”

That’s when senior forward Branden Dawson interjected by saying that was the first time he’s ever seen Trice cry.

Counted out for done as recently as six weeks ago, the seventh-seeded Spartans (27-11) let it all out in a thrilling display of perseverance and defensive grit to oust the fourth-seeded Cardinals (27-9).

“I’d like to tell you that I thought five different times this year that we were good enough to get to a Final Four, but I’d be lying to you,” said coach Tom Izzo, who described this as the best of seven regional final victories he has enjoyed. “But I think the burning desire to be in this Final Four, and they didn’t want to be a group that didn’t make it.

I think it was more of the battle cry all year long.”

Trice led the Spartans with 17 points. Dawson had 11 rebounds, including a key putback of Bryn Forbes’ missed threepoint shot with 31.7 seconds left in overtime.

And Denzel Valentine scored 15 points for a Michigan State team that won for the 12th time in 15 games. It’s a run that included them knocking off second-seeded Virginia last weekend and third-seeded Oklahoma in the regional semifinal on Friday.

Michigan State will play Duke, which beat Gonzaga 66-52 in the South Regional final, on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Wayne Blackshear had 28 points for the Cardinals (27-9) in a game that featured 11 lead changes.

There could have been a 12th with 4.9 seconds left in regulation, when Cardinals forward Mangok Mathiang hit his first free throw to tie the game on a shot that hit off the heel of the rim and bounced high and in. But he wasn’t so fortunate on his second one, which also hit the heel and bounced wide left.

“Sometimes it can be a cruel game. I was positive we were going to win it when the first free throw went in because it

MICHIGAN STATE’S DENZEL VALENTINE CELEBRATES after the Spartans outlasted Louisville, 76-70 in overtime, in the East Regional final on Sunday in Syracuse, New York.

Outstanding Player of the regional.

Michaela Mabrey scored 14 points and Jewell Loyd added 13 points for the Fighting Irish (35-2), who won their 21st straight game. Notre Dame will play South Carolina next Sunday.

Nina Davis had 26 points and 13 rebounds, Sune Agbuke had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Niya Johnson added 10 assists for second-

seeded Baylor (33-4), which had hoped to avenge an 88-69 loss to Notre Dame in last year’s regional final.

A 3-pointer by Madison Cable gave Notre Dame a 60-56 lead, and a pair of free throws by Loyd pushed the advantage to six with just under 10 minutes to play.

Agbuke, Baylor’s 6-foot-4 center, picked up her fourth foul with just over nine minutes to play.

If everybody stayed and would be a year older, that’d be a pretty experienced and talented team coming back. The reality of that happening is not great. We’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

“I love the way Devonté played down the stretch, and I love Svi’s potential. He’s a year away, and next year will be the year. We do need to develop some lowpost scoring, without question.”

KU next season will meet Michigan State in the Champions Classic on Nov. 17 in Chicago and also travel to San Diego State. KU will compete in the Nov. 23-25 Maui Invitational as part of a field that includes UCLA, Indiana, St. John’s, UNLV, Vanderbilt, Chaminade and former KU phenom Danny Manning’s Wake Forest team.

“Obviously it’s disappointing, and it’s good to take it hard and take it personally,” she said. “But now it’s important that we know that we have a lot of season left to rebound from this. Anything can happen in Big 12 play. You can get swept one weekend and go sweep someone the next.”

Final Four

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo won it all in 2000, while John Calipari took the title with Kentucky in 2012.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

The end of the tournament will have plenty to watch, from Kentucky’s unbeaten streak to a matchup of some of the game’s top coaches.

Here’s a peek at what to look for in Indianapolis:

Sparty party Of the four teams headed to Indianapolis, only Michigan State didn’t have an impressive regular season.

The Spartans had 11 losses, four more than the other three teams combined.

They were 18th in the AP’s preseason poll and were out of the rankings for most of the season, getting back in the final poll at No. 23.

But relying on coach Tom Izzo’s trademark offensive rebounding and team defense, Michigan State made the improbable run to the Final Four.

“I’d like to tell you that I thought five different times this year that we were good enough to get to a Final Four, but I’d be lying to you,” Izzo said, adding this was the best of his seven regional final victories.

The team didn’t want to be a group that didn’t make it, and that was a “battle cry” all year long, Izzo said.

Meeting again No team has attracted the attention that Kentucky has.

The Wildcats (38-0) are two wins away from becoming the first undefeated national champion since Indiana in 1976.

Kentucky survived its toughest test of the tournament in the regional semifinals with a 68-66 victory over Notre Dame that came down to the final possession.

“We figured out a way to win it. We’ve had other tests, but we have a will to win,” Wildcats coach John Calipari said.

Now they get to face Wisconsin, which like Kentucky, is making its second straight Final Four appearance.

Last year’s national semifinal came down to a big jumper by Aaron Harrison with 5.7 seconds left.

“That loss left a sour taste in our mouth, so we wanted to get back,” Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker said of the loss to Kentucky.

“As a team we set some goals of what we wanted to do, and now we’re two games away from our last goal.”

Coaching royalty Tying UCLA’s Wooden puts Krzyzewski one appearance ahead of Dean Smith, who made 11 trips to the Final Four. Coach K is tied with Adolph Rupp for second in titles with four.

“I’m in this moment.

I’ve been so lucky to be at Duke for 35 years and in the ACC, and the great players we’ve had and my past is not important right now,” Krzyzewski said.

“My present is incredibly important and just being with these kids

Unbeaten teams Kentucky is the first undefeated team to reach the Final Four since UNLV in 1991. The Runnin’ Rebels lost in the national semifinals to Duke, which went on to win the first of consecutive championships.

Indiana State was the last team to do it before UNLV, in 1979 when the Sycamores, led by Larry Bird, lost in the championship game to Michigan State and Magic Johnson.

The 2008 Final Four of Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA hold the record for the best winning percentage since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The four entered with a 143-9 mark, a .941 winning percentage.

Boy shocked by gay best friend’s confession Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old boy, and I’m too embarrassed to talk to my parents about this.

I have been best friends with “Danny” since the first grade. We are like brothers. A few weeks ago, Danny and I were at my house, and he said he had something to tell me but was afraid of my reaction. I finally got him to confess that he thinks he is gay and in love with me. I was shocked. He said he wanted to kiss me to see what it was like. I didn’t want to, but agreed to try. We sat on my bed and kissed for about a minute. I wasn’t grossed out by it, but it seemed weird and uncomfortable. When I told him that, he bolted.

The next day at school, I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t even look at me. After a few days of this,

he finally came by my house. We talked about what happened, and I told him it doesn’t matter that he’s gay, because he is still my best friend.

But he said if I can’t be his boyfriend, he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. He said it would hurt too much. I told him I can’t change the fact that I’m straight. He said he hates me and left.

I don’t know what I did wrong. Danny won’t even speak to me. I finally worked up the nerve

Justin Bieber roast seems nonsensical What exactly is the point of “The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” (9 p.m.)? A shameless exercise in publicity and ratings, it seems meant to demonstrate that the widely loathed singer is man enough to take an evening of abuse and provide comics and celebrities (including host Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Shaquille O’Neal and Martha Stewart) an opportunity to pile on Bieber’s reputation as a spoiled, selfinvolved l i g h t weight.

Perhaps he should be allowed to reach the need to shave, or the ripe old age of 25, before being feted in this fashion.

The whole notion of “roasting” somebody born in 1994 is perverse and meaningless.

Roasts used to be the comedic equivalent of a testimonial dinner, an insult-laden salute to a trouper of long-standing.

That’s why they were associated with the Friars Club, a venerable New York organization of antediluvian funny men. Or those “Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts” of the 1970s and ’80s, gatherings that might have included Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Michael Landon, Lucille Ball, Ronald Reagan and Orson Welles — comedy conclaves where Ann Jillian might be considered “the kid.”

Those proceedings are forever being recycled on DVD. A new batch, the eight-DVD set “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Stingers and Zingers” is being released on April 14. A good number of the celebrity roasters on these discs have been dead far longer than Justin Bieber has been alive. It’s doubtful that anyone will remember his “roast” next Friday, never mind 30 years from now.

“Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) takes a three-night, six-hour look at the illness. Produced by Ken Burns.

to tell my older brother, who said it’s just like when you get dumped by a girl — you don’t really want to be friends with her afterward.

I can’t accept losing my best friend over this. What can I do to get him back? — Confused Best Friend Dear Confused: Your brother is probably right that Danny is too hurt to be around you right now.

He also may be embarrassed by his admission that he loves you. That made him vulnerable, and he has retreated to protect himself. He also may not know how to behave around you, no matter how accepting you are. He, too, is confused.

We suggest you give Danny some space.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, March 30: This year you are able to easily grasp both sides of an issue. As a result, you might waffle over which point of view to support. You are extremely playful this year. If you are single, that status easily could change, if you so desire. If you are attached, the two of you often have different ideas about which people you should reach out to.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll be energized and ready to tackle someone who is standing in your way. Tonight: You are extremely verbal and direct.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Detaching and understanding more of what might be happening with each individual will ease a situation. Tonight: Head home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could feel awkward in a discussion that makes you feel out of sorts. Worry less. Tonight: Get together with a friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Sometimes you become possessive. Security has always been a primary concern for you.

Tonight: Pay bills first.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Is there an area of your life that you might want to change? Start putting more energy there. Tonight: Respond to someone’s call.

friend. Continue to act as normally as possible around him. We hope he eventually can find his way back, but please understand that not all friendships go the distance.

Dear Annie: Please do everyone a favor by reminding them to keep to the right side on sidewalks, concourses, escalators, etc.

Walking in airports or at sporting events can be very difficult.

You have to buck the traffic coming toward you. — R.M. in PA Dear R.M.: You make an excellent point. And one more thing: Please don’t hog the sidewalk by walking with six of your friends side-byside. It’s annoying.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t push yourself too hard. You might be irritated about the fact that you aren’t getting the information you want. Tonight: Take a step back.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can’t always make everyone happy, but you have a tendency to try hard to do so.

Tonight: Head home early.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take charge of a matter that affects others, and they will appreciate your efforts. Tonight: A must appearance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow yourself to see the big picture. Your inner strength and discipline will emerge. Tonight: Relax to a good movie.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Having a confidant might be important, as you’ll need someone to bounce ideas off of.

Tonight: Togetherness works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and gain a better sense of direction through active conversation with a partner. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Without much effort, you seem to have put yourself in a pivotal position. Tonight: Take a hard look at your finances.
