Women Voters join citizenship proof suit

Kobach contends rule is needed to prevent fraud

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The League of Women Voters of Kansas has joined a federal class action lawsuit that seeks to overturn a state law requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

Meanwhile, the conservative Public Interest Legal Foundation, which is also involved in the case, filed a brief this week arguing that a large Inside: number of non-citizens have, Kansas in fact, been registered to vote could block and cast ballots in other states. transgender The case, Fish v. Kobach, was people from filed in November by the Ameri- updating can Civil Liberties Union on be- records. 2A half of all individuals who have attempted unsuccessfully to register since the state’s citizenship requirement took effect in 2013.

In that time, according to the plaintiffs, an estimated 22,814 Kansans either had their registrations placed “in suspense” or had been purged from the voting lists altogether for failing to provide the required proof of U.S. citizenship.

The suit also names Kansas Secretary of Revenue Nick Jordan as a defendant, alleging that the Division of Vehicles requires people to show proof of citizenship in order to register when they renew their drivers

ensuring that only American citizens vote in Kansas elections,” the organization stated in its brief.

A hearing on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is set for April 14 in federal court in Kansas City, Kan. The injunction would immediately block enforcement of the law, which says neither the secretary of state nor any county election officer may register a person to vote unless that person has shown proof of U.S. citizenship.

If granted, that would enable people to register without showing proof of citizenship in time for the upcoming August primary and November general elections.

However, if the motion is denied, that would mean the law will likely stay in effect through the 2016 elections because a trial in the case is currently scheduled for May 2017.

The case of Fish v. Kobach is one of three federal lawsuits now pending that involve the state’s proof of citizenship law. Another, which is also pending in federal court in Kansas City, seeks to overturn the entire law as unconstitutional. It also seeks to block the Secretary of State’s office from enforcing a new regulation requiring county election officers to cancel incomplete applications after 90 days. A trial in that case is currently scheduled for March 2017.

The third suit, which is pending in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., seeks to block a recent decision by Brian Newby, the executive director of the federal Election Assistance Commission, to provide Kansas and two other states with amended federal voter registration forms that also require proof of citizenship.

A trial in that case has not yet been scheduled.

licenses, which the plaintiffs say violates the National Voter Registration Act, or “Motor-Voter” law.

In a document filed with the court March 17, the League of Women Voters claims that the citizenship law has interfered with its core mission of conducting voter registration drives and educational programs, forcing it to divert resources toward contacting thousands of voters on the suspense list to help them comply with the citizenship law.

“Our League members have volunteered many hours trying to reach citizens on the suspense list, and we are so proud of these efforts,” League president Marge Ahrens said in a statement Wednesday. “However, if the Secretary of State would comply with federal law, we could spend those hours registering and educating many more voters.”

On Tuesday, though, the Public Interest Legal Foundation submitted a friend of the court brief arguing that without a proof-of-citizenship law, non-citizens can easily register to vote and cast ballots in U.S. elections.

Attached to that brief were photocopies of a dozen voter registration cards, all from Texas, which does not have a proof of citizenship law but merely asks people to check a box, yes or no, to indicate whether they are a U.S. citizen.

All of the cards are from people who either checked “no,” checked both boxes, or left both boxes blank.

And yet, all of the applicants were eventually registered and assigned a voter identification number.

Kansas could block transgender people from updating records Wichita (ap) — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is moving forward with a policy change that would make it harder for transgender people to change their gender on their birth certificates.

The Wichita Eagle reports that under current regulations, one can change the gender listed on his or her birth certificate by showing medical paperwork that indicates an anatomical or physiological change occurred.

The governor’s administration has proposed changing the regulations so the gender on a person’s birth certificate can only be changed if the person signs an affidavit saying the gender was incorrectly recorded on the original certificate and also provides medical records backing up that claim.

The change developed by the Kansas

“

They’re trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. This has been standing in Kansas for a very long time that transgender people are able to get their birth certificates corrected.”

— Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas Department of Health and Environment seems to block transgender people from changing their birth certificates after transitioning.

“They’re trying to change the rules in the middle of the game,” said Tom Witt, the executive director of Equality Kansas, an LGBT rights group.

“This has been standing in Kansas for a very long time that

transgender people are able to get their birth certificates corrected.”

The department’s summary outlining the regulatory change says it’s intended to prevent allowing corrections that aren’t considered minor.

Department spokeswoman Cassie Sparks said in an email the language of the current regulation doesn’t comply with state law.

The proposed change comes after Kansas received national attention for two bills that would restrict transgender students’ access to school bathrooms that don’t align with their recorded gender at birth. The state also faces a suit from a transgender woman over the department’s denial to update her birth certificates after her transition.

The policy change is scheduled for a hearing next month.

The city’s response — filed in Douglas County District Court by city attorneys Toni Wheeler and Randy Larkin, as well as Michael Seck of Overland Park-based Fisher Patterson Sayler & Smith LLP — states the landowners and developers don’t have sufficient facts to state a claim. “…The basis for (the city’s) denial of the applications was not arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable for the reasons set forth on the record,” the response states.

agement, Grisham Management and the development group SLT LLC — asks the court to order Lawrence to reverse its decision on the shopping center.

When commissioners rejected the shopping center, they cited concerns about whether the development was suitable for the area, which is just north of the Wakarusa River. They also questioned whether the city was prepared to grow south of the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The lawsuit, filed by Kansas City-based Polsinelli PC, says the reasons for denial were “arbitrary and capricious” and “development and infrastructure is already occurring south of the SLT.” Among other things, landowners and developers are also arguing that plans for a shopping center “generally comply” with the city’s comprehensive land-use plan, and the general public will be harmed by the city’s rejection of it because the property is likely to sit vacant and underutilized.

Barcomb-Peterson said KU doesn’t have staff out patrolling for violations of its chalking policy.

She said the university is aware some students don’t want pro-Trump messages on the sidewalk but that KU has not erased any of them.

“We do have a policy, but in terms of when and whether we enforce it, we’re always erring on the side of free speech,” Barcomb-Peterson said.

KU’s policy does say chalking that violates the policy is subject to removal, and responsible parties can be charged for removal costs. But doing so “is not really part of our practice,”

Kansas University-based online state assessments for K-12 students are back up and running smoothly this week, but Alaska students aren’t resuming them alongside students from other states.

Citing sporadic access last week — the culprit: construction crews cutting a fiber cable on KU’s campus — the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development

canceled all its computer-based testing for the rest of the year, the department announced.

After experiencing testing connectivity interruptions March 29 through March 31, Susan McCauley, Alaska’s interim commissioner of education and early development, said in a statement Friday she was unwilling to keep the state’s schools “in this state of uncertainty.”

“The purpose of assessment is to provide valid, useful results.

To have valid results, all students must be given the test under the same conditions,” she said. “At this point, some students have been interrupted by online connectivity problems while they tested, in some cases repeatedly.

We cannot with certainty say that this year’s assessments will provide an accurate reflection of all students’ knowledge and performance.”

Fritzel letter says group will work toward ‘amicable resolution’

“

Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale have made every attempt to cooperate and resolve our apparent differences with the city of Lawrence in hopes of reaching an amicable resolution and avoiding litigation.”

— Thomas Fritzel, Oread development group leader information and the commission has had a chance to absorb that, understand that and discuss that,” Markus said. “There won’t be a decision made until that happens.”

In mid-March, developers agreed to comply with some of the city’s demands, including reimbursing the city for the cost of hiring the auditing firm to look into the special taxing district and amending their agreement with the city to allow it to audit any tenant of the special taxing district without notice. At that time, developers delivered Oread Wholesale’s sales tax information.

Oread Wholesale — owned by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel, who also leads Oread Inn — is a tenant of the special taxing district and the company at

the center of a $500,000 tax dispute between the city and Oread Inn. According to a document previously provided by Oread Wholesale’s attorneys, the company amended last spring its sales tax returns from January 2012 through March 2015, excluding approximately $4.5 million — approximately half of its $8.9 million in total sales.

The amendments were made, according to information provided by attorneys, after city officials told Oread Inn that some sales reported in the district were incorrect. Oread Inn contacted the Kansas Department of Revenue to discuss how it was reporting sales, and Oread Wholesale made the changes based on a letter back from KDOR about sourcing rules.

The documents provided to the city last month should provide information about the amendments.

Fritzel drafted a letter two weeks ago addressed to the Lawrence community, reiterating statements attorneys have made about Oread Inn’s right to approximately $11 million for public improvements it made during construction of The Oread hotel.

Fritzel also touched on his family’s longtime history of development in Lawrence and said the Oread groups would continue to work with the city.

“Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale have made every attempt to cooperate and resolve our apparent differences with the city of Lawrence in hopes of reaching an amicable resolution and avoiding litigation,” Fritzel wrote.

The letter, dated March 24, was sent to “many members” of Lawrence’s civic and business community, Fritzel’s attorney said. It was shared with the Journal-World on Tuesday.

The initial moratorium was in response to the county’s lack of regulatory language concerning wind towers revealed when NextEra Energy of Florida applied for a conditional use permit to install two meteorological towers meant to measure wind speeds in southwestern Douglas County.

The text amendment Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning staff member Sandra Day presented Wednesday, which came to the County Commission with Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation for approval, would establish a two-tier approach to regulating wind generation towers. The proposed text amendment would regulate wind towers meant for personal and small commercial use, which are defined as towers with a generating capacity of 50 kilowatts or less for consumption on site, through the county’s building permit process.

Its language would address setbacks, height, appearance and other effects on neighboring properties.

Day said that wording wasn’t included because

staff was still studying the appropriate section of the county’s building codes to insert the small wind tower regulations.

Large commercial applications, such as the NextEra Energy proposal, will continue to be considered through the county’s conditional use permit process. Day said some of its features, such as setback and public notification requirements, were borrowed from the county’s CUP communication tower regulations.

The text amendment would require that public hearing notifications be mailed to all property owners in the county’s unincorporated areas within a 1-mile radius of a property on which a proposed wind tower were to be erected. Day said, however, only those living within 1,000 feet of the property would have the right to sign a protest petition challenging its approval.

That was one of the provisions commissioners wanted addressed, if the county had the ability to do so through home rule.

“Notice without some remedy is kind of shallow,” Flory said. “This is a different thing than anything we’ve ever dealt with.

Communication towers are a piece of cake compared to wind turbines.”

The text amendment

would establish a minimum setback distance equal to 110 percent of the tower’s height plus the length of a vertically extended blade and declare that no residential structures could be closer than 1,500 feet to towers. Day said towers could be quite tall, referring to a graphic shared at a February 2014 work session that indicated the tip of a blade of the largest towers could be 492 feet above ground level. Towers were getting bigger, she said.

Commissioners were also interested in what wind farms could mean financially to the county in the way of property taxes or some kind of arrangement such as the severance tax on oil and gas production.

“If I was ever to vote for one of these monstrosities, which I don’t think I’ll have to, I would want the county to get significant revenue,” Flory said.

Eileen Horn, county sustainability coordinator, said the subject came with some pitfalls as payment-in-lieu of taxes arrangements negotiated during CUP discussions could be viewed as bribes.

Day and Horn did agree to investigate what revenue wind-energy producing Kansas counties were receiving.

The only resident to

speak at the public hearing was Wayne Coffman, of rural Baldwin City.

NextEra approached him about leasing land for a tower in the past, he said.

His concern was assurances towers would be removed should their owners go bankrupt.

The proposed text amendment would require applicants to maintain a surety bond with the county as payee to ensure towers would be removed, Flory said.

“The trick is to have it be sufficient to get the job done,” he said.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said company officials have told him NextEra still plans to explore the potential of wind power in the southern part of the county.

NextEra officials did not respond to the Journal-World’s request for an interview.

County commissioners tabled the text amendment with the request planning staff explore the issues for notification and revenue and complete small-use language before a second public hearing. Weinaug said he would attempt to have that public hearing in about 30 days.

he said.

“Baldwin City needs more housing,” he said.

“That has to be addressed in the comprehensive plan. We need to identify places in the community we are willing to have duplexes and those homes not costing $250,000.

There will be a lot of people looking to move to Baldwin City, and there is not a lot of housing to show them.”

There are currently only 14 homes on the market in the Baldwin City zip code area, said Dave Hill, president of the Mid-America Bank and president of Baldwin City Economic Development Corporation. He, too, said the updated comprehensive plan needed to identify locations for duplexes and less-expensive homes.

The community will probably have time to get its housing situation in order, if the prediction of Edgerton City Administrator Beth Linn holds true. Edgerton has not seen an increased demand for housing with the opening of warehouses in the Logistics Park and had no new housing starts last year. That’s not a concern because the community is focusing

on industrial growth with the knowledge residential growth will follow, she said.

It typically takes at least two years after employees start jobs in new locations to feel secure enough with changes to look for homes nearby, Linn said.

Linn has stated hourly wage employees at the fulfillment center would earn about $30,000 annually. Robinson refused to confirm that figure, saying wages vary by tasks, experience, performance and other factors.

Although higherpaid Amazon managerial employees could be candidates to buy the typical new homes built in Baldwin City, which range from $210,000 to $250,000, such new houses would be out of reach for those earning $30,000 a year, Booth and Hill said. A household of two wage earners taking home that income could afford a home in the $150,000 to $180,000 price range, Hill said.

The $30,000 wage would make higher-range homes affordable for some two-income families, he said.

With the Logistics Park 10 miles east on U.S.

Highway 56, Baldwin City would probably be edged out of future warehouse development, Hill said.

Local property owners would probably want too much for land to compete with the Logistics Park, he said.

There was still plenty of opportunities for the city as a bedroom community, and growth of 3 to 5 percent per year was a realistic goal, Hill said.

That growth rate would not change the character of the community, Hill said.

Hill’s confidence is based on what’s coming next to the Logistics Park, and Linn said more warehouses are indeed in the pipeline.

On the same date of the Amazon announcement, NorthPoint announced it would start construction of 765,000-squarefoot and 927,112-squarefoot warehouses. Both would be erected on a speculative basis and should be completed in summer or fall. Under construction are two more speculative warehouses of 550,000 and 650,000 square feet, she said.

Beyond that, there are plans to build warehouses totaling from 15 million

to 18 million square feet, Linn said. They would be built in a reverse domino effect, with another warehouse started when a speculative one was filled, she said.

Another consequence of the Amazon hiring and other Logistics Park development could be wage inflation, Hill said.

“Douglas and Johnson counties have 4 percent unemployment,” he said.

“Franklin County has 5 percent. When you have unemployment that low, new businesses have to steal employees from other businesses.”

It was no surprise that Lawrence Memorial Hospital oncologist Dr. Sherri Soule told them during an office visit that the cancer had returned. The couple went ahead with their trip.

“We had always known that there would be no surgery and no ‘magic pill’ if the cancer returned,” Bost says. “Doctors had told us that from the beginning.” Now the results of the tests were clear. The cancer had metastasized.

In July of that year, a second malignancy was discovered in Bost’s breast, a cancer unrelated to the first. Bost went through a lumpectomy and six-and-a-half weeks of radiation. She continues oral medication. This episode, which Bost describes as “a dip in the road,” would have been really scary, she says, if she didn’t already have cancer.

But now, with that interloper whipped, Bost can return her attention to what matters. And here’s a hint what commands most of her attention: It’s not an “it,” and

it’s certainly not a disease.

It’s family. She and Jim have two sons, Paul and Derek, both in the plumbing business, just like their dad had been.

Megan Bost, Paul’s wife, works in the LMH surgery department. Their kindergarten-aged son, Henry, is a priority on Linda Bost’s list.

Bost agreed to tell her story because, she says, “I would not tell the people at LMH no for anything.

They are there for so many people. They are funny and enjoyable and they treat people with respect and honor and laughter. These people are the ones I see as heroes.”

A turning point in her thinking about her cancer came after the breast cancer diagnosis, when the numbers for her carcinoid tumors were also at a bad point. “I was so exhausted. I was just done,” she says. Her pastor, Matt Zimmermann of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, was talking about the scripture in which the woman who had suffered bleeding for many years touched Jesus’ cloak.

Even though Christ was in a crowd of people, he felt the woman’s touch and he knew she had received healing.

Thursday, April 7, 2016

| 5A

The way Zimmermann told the story had a deep effect on Bost. “It didn’t heal me physically, but it did heal me spiritually.

From that moment on, I haven’t had that chaos in my head. Until then, nothing in my world was in control,” she says.

“I have learned to budget my energy and pick what’s important,” Bost adds.

Toward the end of summer, an out-of-control mess of perennials and weeds off her back deck was driving Bost crazy.

“For days,” she recalls, “I sat on the deck and cried because I couldn’t do anything about the mess. I didn’t have the strength or stamina to get out there and clean it up.

“Then I had the idea to reclaim the space as something new. I had Jim just mow it all down.

We started over. Now the garden is simpler, with a few trees and shrubs. In the middle is a sculpture of a blue heron, with a big fish in his mouth.

“Cancer can take my body, but it can’t take me, and I refuse to let it,” Bost says. “Everyone has a choice in life, and my choice is to laugh. I have bad days. I embrace those days and move on.”

The KU-based Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation (CETE) developed and administers official online state assessments for all Kansas and Alaska school districts, as well as tests for students with cognitive disabilities in more than a dozen other states.

The March 29 fiber cut shut down Internet service to the KU campus as well as outsiders’ access to websites and applications housed on KU servers — including all the CETE tests.

Alaska had already planned for this to be the last year for its Alaska Measures of Progress tests and will request proposals for a new test to begin in 2017, according to the Department of Education and Early Development.

“We are disappointed that Alaska is canceling its online state testing,” said KU CETE director Marianne Perie. “We understand that there are contextual reasons specific to Alaska that made missing four days of testing especially difficult for them.”

Perie said CETE and Alaska education officials were still determining exactly how the contract will be modified following the cancellation.

Perie said CETE staff worked all weekend “reconfiguring” its system to speed up connections to schools.

“Everything seems to be going well,” she said Wednesday.

On the KU campus, websites and Internet access were restored in phases throughout last week. However, the same construction mistake also downed telephone landlines. Green Hall and the engineering complex landlines were still down Wednesday and not expected to be repaired until Monday.

Be firm with strangers who want to pet dog Dear Annie: While my leashed dog and I are bonding and enjoying our time together, people will virtually block our way and — without asking me — begin to vigorously pet my dog and interact directly with her. My dog is small and fluffy, and strangers, particularly kids, feel free to approach and play with her.

These encounters are often not welcome or convenient for me.

Sometimes I only have enough time to walk the dog before I have to be elsewhere, and other times, frankly, I’m just not in the mood. My dog doesn’t care one way or the other about the attention, but her long hair gets sticky, smelly and dirty when it’s stroked by unclean hands continually.

‘Idol’ crowns final winner Cue the confetti drop.

“American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG) will crown a new winner and turn off the lights for the last time.

Knowing when to end and leaving your audience wanting more is a cardinal rule of entertainment. Even a series as dominant as “Idol” is not immune. Had “Idol” wrapped up five years ago, nostalgic fans may have been clamoring for its return. Instead it will creep away after a truncated season.

Why did people stop caring about “Idol”? There are probably as many theories as there were seasons (15). The success of “The Voice” and the failure of “The X Factor” offered too much competition. The judges changed too often and got too nice. The familiarity of the show’s laborious process inspired contempt, fatigue and indifference.

I’ve always felt that the “event” that spelled the long, slow doom of “Idol” had nothing to do with the show and didn’t even appear on American TV. In April 2009, a frumpylooking contestant received rather derisive glances from the hosts of “Britain’s Got Talent.”

But when Susan Boyle began to sing, their faces dropped and their hearts melted. Millions around the world rejoiced in her triumph. But most hadn’t watched Boyle on television at all.

The ability of viewers to catch great performances and good and bad auditions via three-minute viral Internet videos made sitting through hours and hours of “Idol” both boring and slightly antique.

Aside from the Super Bowl, presidential politics or spectacular criminal trials, there are very few subjects that rise to the occasion of universal conversation-starters. For a time, “Idol” and stars named Kelly, Carrie, Ruben, Clay and Fantasia ranked among them.

It’s a curious coincidence that both “Idol,” a pop fixture of the 2000s, and “The People v.

O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” based on the can’t-miss phenomenon of the mid-1990s, conclude in the same week. In an era of a thousand niche media markets, we just don’t have water cooler conversations anymore. That doesn’t mean we don’t miss them.

Tonight’s other highlights O Owen’s ornery nature explained on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

O “The Odd Couple” (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) reboot enters its second season.

O A leak makes for strange bedfellows on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

O Valerie has to deal with her ex on “The Catch” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

nicely, but firmly, most people will not consider it hostile. They will think you are protecting them or your dog from potential harm.

We have also heard about pet owners tying a yellow ribbon on the dog’s collar to indicate that the dog needs to be left alone. If this is not common practice in your area, feel free to inform everyone that when your dog is wearing the yellow ribbon, it means she needs her space. We think they will appreciate the information and respect your decision. Kids especially love having “special knowledge” and will be sure to pass it along.

Lecompton pride Thanks to a committed group of volunteers the former Lecompton High School once again is a center of community activity.

A

recent Journal-World article told an inspiring story of how volunteers have brought the abandoned Lecompton High School building back to life.

As population shifted across Kansas and school districts consolidated, a number of school buildings got left behind, including the Lecompton High School, which closed in 1970. The building later was used by the Northwest Kansas Educational Service Center and an alternative high school, but, after 2012, when ownership of the building reverted to the city of Lecompton, it stood vacant.

The city sought to sell the building, but no suitable buyers were found. The future looked bleak for the school that had once been a center of activity — that is, until the formation of the Lecompton Community Pride group. The all-volunteer group sold the Lecompton City Council on its dream of returning the old high school to a community use. The group got some funding assistance from the Douglas County Community Foundation and the state Community Pride organization, and the city agreed to pay for the building’s insurance and help with maintenance.

The rest was up to the volunteers.

Their first priorities were to convert part of the school’s gym to a community meeting room and set up a town library, which now is open 20 hours a week. Since then, the group also has rehabilitated the school’s theater and space for a studio that accommodates youth dance and tumbling classes and adult yoga and fitness instruction.

Other rooms provide space for a local sewing circle, a free clothing shop operated by Lecompton United Methodist Church and a weekly morning tea for local residents.

What else could a community want?

Just as the volunteers had hoped, the school now is a center of community activity, bringing together people of all ages for a variety of reasons. Rather than a decaying, empty building, the city has a real civic asset.

Volunteers will remain a vital component of this project. The Lecompton Pride group just raised $5,000 in its biggest annual fundraiser, a rummage sale, but, even operating on a shoestring, it costs about $20,000 a year “to keep everything going.”

That’s no small challenge for a town the size of Lecompton, but given its track record, we wouldn’t bet against this committed group of volunteers.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Lack of plan catches up to Trump “It’s not the will to win that matters. ... It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”

— Paul “Bear” Bryant Houston — People here at Ted Cruz’s campaign headquarters are meticulously preparing to win a contested convention, if there is one.

Because Donald Trump is a low-energy fellow, Cruz will be positioned to trounce him in Cleveland, where Trump’s slide toward earned oblivion would accelerate during a second ballot.

Wisconsin has propelled Trump, a virtuoso of contempt, toward joining those he most despises: “losers.”

In the 1992 general election, Ross Perot, a Trump precursor, won 21.5 percent of Wisconsin’s vote, above the 18.9 percent he won nationally.

Wisconsin’s populist tradition is persistent and indiscriminate enough to encompass Robert La Follette and Joseph McCarthy. And evangelical Christians are less important in Wisconsin than in contiguous Iowa. Nevertheless, temperate Wisconsin rejected Trump, partly for the reason that one of his weakest performances so far was in the reddest state, Utah, where conservative Mormons flinched from his luridness. His act — ignorance slathered with a congealed gravy of arrogance — has become stale.

If, as seemed probable a month ago, Trump had won Wisconsin, he would have been well-positioned to win a first-ballot convention victory. Now he is up against

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

He thinks he can fly in, stroke a crowd’s ideological erogenous zones, then fly away.

He knows nothing about the art of the political deal.” things to which he is averse: facts. For months Cruz’s national operation has been courting all convention delegates, including Trump’s.

Cruz aims to make a third ballot decisive, or unnecessary.

On the eve of Wisconsin’s primary, the analytics people here knew how many undecided voters were choosing between Cruz and Trump (32,000) and how many between Cruz and John Kasich (72,000), and where they lived. Walls here are covered with notes outlining every step of each state’s multistage delegate selection process.

(Cruz’s campaign was active in Michigan when the process of selecting persons eligible to be delegates began in August 2014.) Cruz’s campaign is nurturing relationships with delegates now committed to Trump and others. In Louisiana’s primary, 58.6 percent of voters favored someone oth-

er than Trump; Cruz’s campaign knows which issues are particularly important to which Trump delegates, and Cruz people with similar values are talking to them.

Trump, whose scant regard for (other people’s) property rights is writ large in his adoration of eminent domain abuses, mutters darkly about people “stealing” delegates that are his property. But most are only contingently his, until one or more ballots are completed.

Usually, more than 40 percent of delegates to Republican conventions are seasoned activists who have attended prior conventions.

A large majority of all delegates are officeholders — county commissioners, city council members, sheriffs, etc. — and state party officials. They tend to favor presidential aspirants who have been Republicans for longer than since last Friday.

Trump is a world-class complainer (he is never being treated “fairly”) but a bush league preparer. A nomination contest poses policy and process tests, and he is flunking both.

Regarding policy, he is flummoxed by predictable abortion questions because he has been pro-life for only 15 minutes, and because he has lived almost seven decades without giving a scintilla of thought to any serious policy question. Regarding process, Trump, who recently took a weeklong vacation from campaigning, has surfed a wave of free media to the

mistaken conclusion that winning a nomination involves no more forethought than he gives to policy. He thinks he can fly in, stroke a crowd’s ideological erogenous zones, then fly away.

He knows nothing about the art of the political deal.

The nomination process, says Jeff Roe, Cruz’s campaign manager, “is a multilevel Rubik’s Cube. Trump thought it was a golf ball — you just had to whack it.” Roe says the Cruz campaign’s engagement with the granular details of delegate maintenance is producing a situation where “the guy who is trying to hijack the party runs into a guy with a machine gun.”

Trump, the perpetually whining “winner,” last won something on March 22, in Arizona. Trump, says Roe, is now “bound by his brand rather than propelled by his brand.” If Trump comes to Cleveland, say, 38 delegates short of 1,237, he will lose.

Cruz probably will be proportionally closer to Trump than Lincoln (102 delegates) was to William Seward (173.5) who was 60 delegates short of victory on the first of three ballots at the 1860 convention.

Cruz’s detractors say he has been lucky in this campaign’s unpredictable political caroms that thinned the competition. But as Branch Rickey — like Coach Bryant, a sportsman-aphorist — said: “Luck is the residue of design.”

The people on the ground never had a chance. Before it was over, 334 Superfortress B-29s had dropped 2,000 tons of incendiaries on the wooden frame houses below. Fanned by high winds, the resultant conflagration became what some historians have dubbed the worst firestorm of all time.

Sixteen square miles in and around Tokyo were incinerated. A million men, women and children were injured. The low end estimate of the death toll puts it at 80,000. This was in March of 1945. Five months later, the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

All that carnage came in the context of a morally unambiguous conflict often described as “the good war.”

But the hell that fell on Tokyo is a reminder that, while it is sometimes necessary, war is never good.

No, war is often little more than a choice between terrible things. In countries like ours that pride themselves on their moral authority, we sometimes allow ourselves to forget that, binding war with legalities and rules designed to leave conscience clean and allow

us to do what is repulsive, but required.

But the taut and compelling new movie “Eye in the Sky,” refuses to allow us to forget.

In it, Helen Mirren is a British colonel directing a drone strike by Aaron Paul, a Nevada-based pilot, against terrorists in Kenya, in consultation with a facial recognition team in Hawaii, and with the advice and consent of government and military officials in London, Washington and elsewhere.

Mirren’s colonel and

Paul’s pilot have electronic eyes on a house where terrorists are gearing up for a suicide bombing likely to consume dozens of lives.

They can put a missile through the roof and end the threat immediately. But there’s a little girl selling bread just outside and the blast that ends the threat will likely end her as well.

What to do?

Once upon a time, one man had his hand on the trigger and had to decide in a splitsecond. But now, with drones able to rain remote-control death, a dozen hands in a dozen places are all on that same trigger, and in the movie, the split second swells to encompass a debate among military and government officials over whether law and morality can countenance killing this child.

Maybe the answer is obvious to you. Maybe, with icy Spock logic, you note that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

But this is not a math problem. No, this is you, choosing death for a little girl. It is in the name of a greater good, to be sure. But still, death for a little girl.

How difficult do you imagine it was for the men commanding those B-29s to drop fire on Tokyo? Yes, they were professionals

punishing an aggressor nation. But they were also human beings, so is it fanciful to suppose that maybe some of them felt some tug of conscience as the bomb bay doors opened?

And if so, how much more difficult would it have been to look right at the innocent and yet push the button anyway?

Last year, The New York Times reported that this country had carried out more than 400 drone strikes since 2004. Some bad people died in these attacks. But so did an American aid worker in Pakistan, wedding-goers in Yemen and hospital patients in Afghanistan. In fact, according to multiple reports, the vast majority of those killed have been innocents unconnected to terrorism.

If you are outraged, fine.

But don’t miss the bigger outrage: namely, that this is what war is and always has been. It’s just that in the drone era, it’s harder to fool ourselves than it once was; we are forced to see the child standing there about to die and we have time to debate the morality of it. But that’s all that’s new.

Because she has always been standing there. And she always will be.

FIRES SPREAD ACROSS PLAINS Wildfires spread rapidly by howling winds continued to burn Wednesday across Oklahoma and Kansas, destroying homes and forcing hundreds of people to flee. Four fires have merged into one large fire, which has burned 55,308 acres as of midday Wednesday, said Hannah Anderson, a spokeswoman for Oklahoma Forestry Services. The fire, which was not contained, was caused by arcing power lines.

The Obama administration is increasingly taking aim at corporate mergers as the bustling market pumps out deals at a record pace, placing business titans at odds with Washington amid swirling political angst.

The action has fueled tension between U.S. corporations that say the government doesn’t adequately grasp economic factors and political leaders who say companies take advantage of tax loopholes and vulnerable consumers.

This week alone, the Treasury Department cratered pharmaceutical giant Pfizer’s $160 billion tax inversion deal with Allergan, and the Justice Department filed a lawsuit seeking to block No. 1 oilfield services firm Halliburton’s $34 billion acquisition of No. 3 firm Baker Hughes.

The Federal Trade Commission has challenged the merger of Staples and Office Depot, and officials are closely scrutinizing a litany of other deals, including the health care insurance merger of Aetna and Humana, the insurance merger of Anthem and Cigna, and beer giant AnheuserBusch InBev’s acquisition of SABMiller.

Taken together, these cases suggest a new measure of confidence on behalf of the Obama administration that it retains the legal and political leverage to prevent corporate tie-ups when competition is threatened.

Mossack Fonseca keeps low profile in the USA Miami office fades from most records Alan Gomez USA TODAY

The Panama law firm that helped companies, political leaders and other wealthy individuals hide assets in offshore accounts has made itself exceedingly difficult to locate in the USA. Mossack Fonseca, the firm whose internal records were hacked and disclosed worldwide Sunday, once listed on its website that it had an office in Miami, known as the Gateway to the Americas. That makes sense since many Latin American companies operate in and out of the city.

But Mossack Fonseca’s Miami operations have virtually disappeared since the leak of what are known as the Panama Papers.

The firm’s operations in Wyoming and Nevada are just as obscure.

Nearly all of the 1,000-plus corporations USA TODAY identified as being created by Mossack Fonseca in the USA are based in Wyoming and Nevada. Those states have permissive corporate secrecy laws. Wyoming, in particular, allows corporations to be formed without any individual named in corporate records.

The firm’s website no longer lists a Miami office. Only a page archived by Google shows the listing once existed on its website.

Florida state records show Olga Santini, the firm’s representative in Miami, is a manager for “MF Consult LLC.” Her profile on the online business-networking site LinkedIn is no longer active, and she has no listed phone number or email address.

The archived Mossack Fonseca website and Florida state records list an address for the firm’s offices in Miami, but that traces

back to a two-bedroom condo unit in a waterfront residential building called “The Palace.” The building is located in a gleaming business district in Miami called Brickell and was once featured in an episode of the 1980s television crime drama Miami Vice.

This USA TODAY reporter visited the building Wednesday but was told Santini wasn’t available.

In a statement, Santini denied being an employee of Mossack Fonseca, saying she was an “independent service provider” who did work for the firm, as well as others. “I cannot address any particular client issues except to say that it is my practice to conduct significant due diligence on my clients, and it is my personal policy to fully comply with the letter and spirit of the law in every jurisdiction,” she said.

Mossack Fonseca did not respond to questions regarding its U.S. operations. In a statement on its website, the firm said its work in the USA is legal.

Candidates carry different strengths into N.Y. primary Paul Singer USA TODAY

As Democrats and Republicans turn their attention to the critical primary in New York in two weeks, it is worth remembering that the state is defined by the Big Apple (New York City) and big apple — a vast agricultural economy that is second in the nation in apple production.

The diversity the state offers is fertile ground for the remaining candidates to try to harvest delegates.

Here’s a look at where each may thrive:

HILLARY CLINTON

Clinton was the U.S. senator from New York. New York City is Clinton’s base, she has deep ties on Wall Street and her presidential campaign is headquartered in Brooklyn. She has generally beaten Sanders handily among nonwhite primary voters, which describes large swaths of the population of not only New York City but also Buffalo, Rochester and other large population centers in the state.

BERNIE SANDERS

Sanders has done very well in college towns around the country, and New York has several key

ones, including Syracuse and “the people’s republic of Ithaca,” home to both Ithaca College and Cornell University. New York City also has a large Jewish population who may find Sanders compelling as he would be the nation’s first Jewish president.

DONALD TRUMP

Trump is a New Yorker in ways even Clinton can’t match, which is a huge advantage but could also be a disadvantage. Local Republicans are more familiar than most with his over-the-top public persona. Trump seems to be the classic New York City personality, but he has proved popular in the

state’s northern regions as well.

The first member of Congress to endorse him was GOP Rep. Chris Collins, who represents Buffalo suburbs.

but “New York has one of the smallest percentages of bornagain Christians,” said Jeff Smith, a professor at The New School.

TED CRUZ

Gerry O’Brien, a GOP political consultant, notes that scoring 20% of the vote in a district is enough to qualify for a delegate in the state, which means Kasich “can do a lot of damage by cherrypicking” in Democratic strongholds. There may be only a few thousand Republican voters in some of those districts, and a well-organized targeting campaign could turn out enough of them to pick up a delegate or two.

Cruz has two advantages working in his favor. One is the momentum from his victory in Tuesday’s Republican primary in Wisconsin. The other is a committed Stop Trump movement that would mobilize every possible resource to block Trump. The problem for Cruz is that he is not a good ideological match for the state. Religious conservatives have been a solid base for him,

Sanders camp says N.Y. could upend Clinton’s path Campaign manager says a loss would erode her credibility

In the wake of Bernie Sanders’ double-digit victory in the Wisconsin primary, campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Wednesday that a surprisingly strong showing by the Vermont senator in the New York primary in two weeks would disrupt the delegate math that now favors Hillary Clinton.

The home-state battle between the Brooklyn-born Sanders and Clinton, twice elected by the state to the U.S. Senate, could reset the calculations that now see her as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Weaver told Capital Download. And he said the campaign has begun internal discussions about how to handle a contested national convention in Philadelphia in July.

“Obviously, the math is important,” Weaver said, acknowledging that Clinton’s campaign already describes her numerical lead in delegates as almost insurmountable. “Almost,” he emphasized. “But I think too many people are discounting the sort of dynamism in a political campaign WASHINGTON

and what it means, for instance, if Hillary Clinton were to lose New York in terms of her credibility as a front-runner who’s going to represent the Democratic Party in November. I think it would shake a lot of people’s confidence.”

Even a narrow victory of 51% or 52% “is terribly damaging to her in terms of her credibility in saying, ‘I can be the person who can lead this party forward against the Republicans.’ ” In recent surveys of likely New York Democratic primary voters, a CBS/YouGov Poll gave Clinton a lead of 10 percentage points, 53%-43%, and a Quinnipiac University poll a lead of 12 points, 54%-42%. Weaver noted that Sanders had been trailing in the campaign’s internal polling in Wisconsin as recently as last

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Jeff Weaver, campaign manager for the Bernie Sanders campaign, says his candidate is a strong closer. week, and that he had been down 20 points 10 days before the Michigan primary, a contest he also won.

“Bernie Sanders closes very, very strong,” Weaver said. He stopped short of predicting Sanders would win in New York, saying he “may win” but in any any case would “defy expectations” and “do very well.”

Even so, Sanders faces a daunting climb for the nomination despite winning seven of the last

eight contests. He has to win twothirds of the remaining delegates to reach the 2,383 majority needed for nomination; Clinton has to win just one-third of them. “We do certainly have to win the vast majority of the states going forward, there’s no doubt about that,” Weaver says.

But he told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series that he could see no circumstances in which Sanders would withdraw from the race before

the convention in July, and he suggested the Clinton camp was less confident about the path ahead than they admit.

“I think there’s a lot of frustration over there,” he said, noting a video that went viral showing Clinton angrily snapping at a questioner. “I think her whole campaign is of a similar mind-set.

I think they’re very upset about where they are. They can’t conceive that they would ever be in a position where Bernie Sanders would have won seven of the last eight contests and be within 10 points in New York, her home state. It’s inconceivable to them.”

The sharper tone of the Democratic race was apparent.

Weaver said a front-page headline in Wednesday’s New York Daily News that blasted “Bernie’s Sandy Hook Shame” was “at a minimum overblown” in criticizing Sanders’ vote to give gun manufacturers immunity from liability. “She’s been all over the map on guns,” he said of Clinton.

Weaver called Sanders “a bold leader” in the tradition of FDR, a New York hero, while he described Clinton as “moderate, incrementalist, centrist” — not words he intended as compliments.

GOP hopefuls play numbers game Many variables make counting delegates difficult David Jackson USA TODAY

In the wake of Wisconsin, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and John Kasich are beginning months of trench warfare for Republican delegates, which could culminate in a wild, wide-open, contested convention in July.

While Cruz and Trump predicted they would eventually rack up the 1,237 delegates needed to win the GOP presidential nomination, Cruz’s double-digit win in Wisconsin leaves daunting math for both candidates.

“Either before Cleveland — or at the convention in Cleveland — together we will win a majority of the delegates, and together we will beat Hillary Clinton in November,” Cruz told supporters in Milwaukee in claiming his Wisconsin win.

The Trump campaign, which still leads Cruz by more than 200 delegates, said the businessman will build that advantage in upcoming contests in New York and other Northeastern states. In a statement after the Wisconsin vote, the campaign said Trump “is the only candidate who can secure the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton, or whomever is the Democratic nominee.”

Donald Trump leads Ted Cruz by more than 200 delegates.

Sen. Ted Cruz vowed to collect a majority of delegates.

John Kasich is hoping for an open, contested convention.

first ballot at the July 18-21 convention in Cleveland, many delegates become unbound and the race could be thrown open to other candidates.

In the meantime, Cruz, Trump and Kasich look to the next major date on the Republican calendar: April 19, when New York — Trump’s home state — holds a primary. Polls give Trump a big lead at this point.

While some surveys show Cruz trailing both Trump and Kasich in New York, the Texas senator told reporters Wednesday he has momentum: “The interesting thing about polls is that they can change, and they can change quickly.”

As anti-Trump organizations work to block a first-ballot victory for the businessman, his loss in Wisconsin makes it harder for him to clinch the nomination ahead of the convention.

“Our estimate would now project him to get 1,179 to 1,182 delegates total, or somewhere between 55 and 58 short of the 1,237 he’d need to clinch the nomination,” the website FiveThirtyEight reported.

The Associated Press currently gives Trump 743 delegates to Cruz’s 517. Kasich has 143 delegates and former candidate Marco Rubio still holds 171, meaning that non-Trump candidates have more delegates overall than the New York businessman.

Trump must win about 57% of the remaining delegates to lock up the nomination before July — though Cruz will need to win more than 80%.

Different news organizations have different delegate counts, and complex rules in different states mean that some delegates’ commitments may be in doubt, in a race where even a few votes

could be decisive.

In addition to primaries and caucuses, campaigns also are hunting delegates at various state Republican conventions. Citing success at a recent meeting in North Dakota, the Cruz campaign plans more lobbying this weekend at a Republican convention in Colorado.

Describing Wisconsin as a “turning point,” Cruz, a Texas senator, told backers that Republican voters will increasingly turn to him as the alternative to Trump.

“Three weeks ago the media said Wisconsin was a perfect state for Donald Trump,” Cruz said.

“But the hard-working men and women of Wisconsin stood and campaigned tirelessly to make sure that tonight was a victory for every American.”

The Trump campaign, meanwhile, described Cruz as nothing

more than a tool of anti-Trump organizations.

While Trump himself did not comment as the Wisconsin results came in Tuesday, his campaign issued a harsh statement, saying that “Cruz is worse than a puppet — he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.”

Cruz dismissed Trump’s “insults,” telling reporters during a New York campaign stop that “he gets very angry when the voters reject him.”

Trump hosts a rally Wednesday night in Bethpage, N.Y. While protesting attacks from Cruz, radio talk-show hosts in Wisconsin, anti-Trump political action committees, and members of the Republican establishment, the Trump campaign predicted wins in New York and beyond.

On April 26, a week after the New York primary, five more Northern and Eastern states pick Republican delegates: Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and Rhode Island.

In the weeks ahead, the Republican candidates will focus on states in which the winners take all the delegates: Delaware, Nebraska, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota.

The Republican primary calendar ends June 7, a day that will include the biggest delegate prize of the race: California.

Kasich, Ohio’s governor, is predicting an open convention, and plans to tout his ability to win a general election as he campaigns in New York and other states on the upcoming primary schedule.

do anything the administration doesn’t like, it will find a way to stop you,” said University of Michigan business and law professor Erik Gordon, an expert on mergers. “You’ve got to plan your business around what will be OK with them.”

Several presidential contenders, including Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump, are pressing for a stop to inversions, which allow companies to find a foreign suitor of a specific size and switch their headquarters to dodge taxes.

“The agencies are much more aggressive and willing to challenge the deals and not willing to accept the traditional way of curing the problem,” said David Balto, a former FTC policy director and a consumer advocate. “It is clear that the standards are changing, and it’s long overdue.

We need a much tougher cop on the beat. Consumers are being harmed with all these mergers.”

As of Wednesday, more than $415 billion in corporate deals had been withdrawn globally in 2016. That tops the $303 billion in global deals scrapped during the same time period in 2007, the peak year for canceled transactions, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Based on this year’s pace, 2016 “could be the biggest year possi-

The Treasury Department moved against a deal planned by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. bly for canceled deals since the start of the great recession,” said Richard Peterson, a senior director at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Additional canceled mergers are partially a function of record activity. Global M&A deals topped $4.8 trillion in 2015, besting the previous high set in 2007, according to Dealogic.

Heritage Foundation research fellow Curtis Dubay suggested that the Treasury Department’s unilateral action against the Pfizer deal could “put a chill into other” prospective mergers and acquisitions involving foreign companies.

“These rules might not stop another merger, but they’ve shown that they’re willing to use

their authority and abuse it,” Dubay said.

Though the actions by the Treasury and Justice Departments to block mergers are technically separate, their efforts suggest an increasing likelihood that some corporate mergers believed to be safe bets are no longer inevitable.

One budding deal, a merger of manufacturing giants United Technologies and Honeywell, died in the discussion phase in February in part because United Tech deemed the likelihood of regulatory obstacles to be high.

Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer, antitrust chief of the Justice Department, said Wednesday that his office is “not changing” its strategy. He suggested corpo-

rate leaders have shown too much “enthusiasm” for deals with “all that capital coming back into the marketplace.”

“If there are competitive problems, we’re going to go after them — and there are some deals, I’ve been known to say before, that are so antitrust ... that they never ought to make it out of the executive suite or corporate boardroom,” Baer said.

Business leaders have bristled at the additional scrutiny, accusing the government of threatening innovation, perpetuating a backward tax system and lacking a basic understanding of the marketplace.

After Pfizer and Allergan agreed to scrap their controversial inversion — in which Pfizer would have shifted its headquarters to Ireland to lower its U.S. tax bill — Allergan CEO Brent Saunders blasted Treasury officials for “building a wall around the U.S. to keep people in.”

“I’m patriotic, and I don’t want to get on a soapbox, but I think it’s incredibly misguided and unproductive policy for the United States,” Saunders said.

The Obama administration has argued that for tax inversions such as the Pfizer-Allergan deal, middle-class taxpayers would need to pay more if corporations avoided their fair share in taxes by moving headquarters overseas.

Baker Hughes and Halliburton ripped the government for not

taking into account market dynamics — namely the global collapse in oil prices, which has sparked more than 320,000 job cuts worldwide in the energy sector since late 2014, according to Houston consultancy Graves.

Staples and Office Depot are fighting the FTC’s challenge against their deal partially on the grounds that the Internet has made office supplies readily available to their customers.

USA TODAY

The Obama administration will move $510 million in unspent money dedicated to battling last year’s global public health crisis — Ebola virus — toward this year’s global public health crisis: the Zika virus.

Yet the White House also made clear that the U.S. needs to be able to address both Ebola and Zika, and called on Congress to act immediately on its $1.9 billion request to battle Zika.

“We have two global public health crises, Ebola and Zika, and we can’t set one aside to deal with the other.”

Sylvia Burwell, secretary of Health and Human Services

“These efforts need to continue, and they can’t be stopped or short-changed,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell. “We have two global public health crises, Ebola and Zika, and we can’t set one aside to deal with the other.”

An outbreak of the mosquitoborne virus in South America last year already has spread to North America, with 672 confirmed cases in the United States and its territories of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

The virus has been linked to birth defects for pregnant women.

Deputy Secretary of State Heather Higginbottom on Tuesday declared that “an international outbreak of the Zika virus is sustained, severe, and is spreading internationally, and that it is in the national interest to respond to the related public health emergency of international concern.” Under a spending bill already passed by Congress, that language allows the administration to move money previously devoted to Ebola.

The administration said it already has moved $79 million to battle Zika. But the $589 million in existing funding falls far short of the $1.9 billion the White House had requested in February.

Last week, a separate survey of more than a dozen state and local law enforcement agencies, based on data gathered by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and USA TODAY, found that investigators have been blocked from the contents of more than 1,000 smartphones

and other devices in recent months.

Many of the devices, manufactured by Apple and others, sit in the archives of evidence rooms after authorities had to resolve cases without the information contained in the blocked devices.

Still other devices are linked to open investigations ranging from shootings and kidnappings to white-collar inquiries.

The FBI withdrew from its legal battle to force Apple’s assistance in unlocking the Farook phone after getting the help of an undisclosed “outside party.”

TWITTER SCREENSHOT

Chinese women are measuring the size of their knees with an iPhone 6 or waists with an 81⁄2 by 11 inch sheet of paper.

BEIJING

housands of photos of women measuring how thin they are with iPhones and Chinese currency are circulating on the Internet, sparking a heated debate in China about beauty.

One of the most recent “challenges” encourage young women to wrap a 100-yuan bill around their wrist to prove the ends overlap. Measuring just more than 6 inches in length, the red bill is one of the larger gauges used.

Other “devil body challenges” include showing your legs are no wider than an iPhone 6 at the knees or balancing five coins on your collar bone to show it protrudes. The name “devil body challenge” comes from Chinese mythology about evil spirits who change into beautiful sirens to entrap mortal men.

The trend of measuring one’s body with objects was applauded by some as a sign of fitness. Yet activists, fashion editors and psychologists say such contests foster unhealthy views of attractiveness.

“These abnormal standards could trigger depression or even eating disorders in women. …

These are not the correct values to be spreading,” said Su Shu, lifestyle editor of Cosmopolitan in China.

China, a country that struggled to feed itself only four decades ago, recently noted a rise in young people with bulimia and anorexia. Demand for plastic surgery also is on the rise, up 200% every year by some counts. A common procedure is an eyelid lift to create a more Western look.

“It’s sad that they believe there is pressure to look a certain way,” said Luciana Rosu-Siezu, with the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Asso-

ciation in Windsor, Canada, the Windsor Star reported.

A wave of images on social media last month showed women and some men taking the “A4 Waist Challenge” to prove their midriffs could be obscured by an 8-by- 11-inch sheet of paper.

“I have never felt thin enough.

Like we always say, if a women can’t control her figure she can do nothing well,” said Yan Yan, 28, who posted a photo of her “A4 waist.” “These challenges provide me with a stage to feel good.”

Two of China’s state-run newspapers favor the trend, saying the “challenges” are “fitness tests.”

“I have never felt thin enough. Like we always say, if a women can’t control her figure she can do nothing well.”

Yan Yan

“An A4 waist size is neither a skeleton-thin look nor size zero.

Instead, it is a healthy and attainable goal for some women. …

Staying skinny through exercise can demonstrate their diligence and willpower,” the Global Times wrote last month.

An “A4 waist” is a rough equivalent to a U.S. extra small in apparel. If you accomplish the iPhone 6 “challenge,” it means both of your legs together are no wider than 6 inches at the knees.

Some critics responded on social media by holding diplomas or a sheet of paper horizontally in front of their stomachs.

“These challenges simply make women ‘internalize’ the stereotype of woman … but we shouldn’t be looking to meet these standards, we should be looking to break them,” said Li Tingting, a feminist.

Holy cow, cow, cow! Rare triplets born David Murray

Great Falls Tribune

They arrived too late for an April Fool’s Day hoax, but just in time to herald the arrival of spring.

Rare triplet calves were born April 2 on the Badger Ranch east of Cascade. Owned by ranch manager Iain McGregor, the trio of Black Angus heifers are all healthy and up on their feet. Cow 3202 seems a bit perplexed by the number of calves demanding her attention, but allows all three to nurse without objection.

“I’m just getting to the point now where I’m comfortable that they’re all going to make it,” McGregor said. “I figured I would come in here one of these days and she would have laid on one or stepped on one — keeping track of one calf and then accidentally taking out another. But at this point they’re strong enough and active enough that they’ll stay out of her way.

Feds sue to block $34B Halliburton deal Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday sued to block the $34 billion merger of oil-field services giants Halliburton and Baker Hughes, a tie-up the companies had pursued in the wake of slumping oil prices.

Halliburton and Baker Hughes, both based in Houston, immediately vowed to “vigorously contest” the government’s actions.

But U.S. antitrust division chief Bill Baer delivered a blistering rebuke of the deal, saying it was so anti-competitive that it should never have made it out of the boardroom. He argued that a merger of two of the three largest U.S. oil-field services companies posed a “serious” threat to competition and “wasn’t fixable.”

“I have never seen one that poses so many antitrust problems in so many markets,” Baer, an assistant attorney general, said in a conference call. “Our lawsuit should surprise no one.”

With combined 2015 revenue of $39.3 billion, Halliburton and Baker Hughes control a nearly 16% market share in the oil-field services field, according to data provider IBISWorld. They provide a wide range of services such as oil-well completions, cementing and drilling.

“A vibrant economy depends on meaningful competition and vigilance by the department in challenging transactions like this that threaten to deny our citizens the benefits of competitive markets,” Attorney General Loretta

Lynch said on the call.

Halliburton shares (HAL) jumped 6% to finish the day at $36.64 while Baker Hughes shares (BHI) rose 8.4% to close at $42.67, as investors clung to a semblance of certainty regarding the deal’s outcome after nearly a year and a half of chatter over its fate.

The lawsuit comes as the U.S. oil and gas sector is grappling with the fallout of rock-bottom oil prices, which have sparked dozens of bankruptcies and more than 320,000 job cuts globally since late 2014, according to Houston consultancy Graves.

Halliburton, for example, long known for its sterling financial performance, swung from a $5.1 billion operating profit in 2014 to a $165 million operating loss in 2015 as total revenue declined 28% to $23.6 billion. The

company recently announced plans to shed 5,000 jobs, about 8% of its global workforce. Baker Hughes has also laid off thousands of workers.

After reports surfaced of the Justice Department’s plans, Deutsche Bank analyst Mike Urban said in a research note that chances of completing the deal “are a ‘coin flip’ at best,” even though the analyst believes the merits of the deal are strong.

“The companies believe that the DOJ has reached the wrong conclusion in its assessment of the transaction and that its action is counterproductive, especially in the context of the challenges the U.S. and global energy industry are currently experiencing,” Halliburton and Baker Hughes said in a joint statement.

Baer rejected the suggestion that the Justice Department should pay deference to the merger in light of low oil prices.

“Both companies have a history of downsizing and upsizing,” he said. “It’s not a justification for an anti-competitive merger to say, ‘We’re not doing as much business as we used to.’ ” Halliburton and Baker Hughes called the deal “pro-competitive” and noted that Halliburton had offered to sell off billions of dollars in assets. But the Justice Department said Halliburton’s proposed divestitures were insufficient and would not foster increased competition.

“Those have been a moving target. We don’t have the specifics on anything,” Baer said.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

Pharmaceutical firm Pfizer’s $160 billion merger with fellow drug giant Allergan died Wednesday, just days after the Obama administration revealed new rules designed to undercut this type of tax inversion deal.

The collapse dashes New York-based Pfizer’s hopes of lowering its U.S. tax bill by shifting its tax base to Allergan’s Irish home.

The two companies said they agreed to ditch the BLOOMBERG deal. Pfizer Allergan’s will pay Saunders Allergan a breakup fee of $150 million.

Corporate leaders have blasted U.S. laws they say make it prohibitively expensive to maintain tax headquarters here — with Pfizer CEO Ian Read among those bemoaning the situation.

“Treasury’s building a wall around the U.S. to keep people in,” Allergan CEO Brent Saunders said in a Wednesday call with Wall Street analysts. “Global companies, inverted or just foreign-domiciled, are going to be advantaged in buying U.S. companies as long as this is the tax code. ... I’m patriotic ... but I think it’s incredibly misguided and unproductive policy for the United States.”

Pfizer said it would still consider a separation into two separate companies — one that would sell highly profitable, newer drugs and one selling established drugs. Allergan said it will maintain its Ireland base and have an estimated 14% tax rate — far lower than the 35% top federal interest rate for businesses. Pfizer shares rose 5% to close at $32.93.

Allergan shares climbed 3.5% to $244.74.

Financial advisers soon must put clients first Labor Department predicts its new rules could save investors $40B over 10 years Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

Six years in the making, rules to force financial advisers to do what’s best for their clients — rather than themselves — are a reality, and they could potentially save investors $40 billion over 10 years, according to the Labor Department.

The department on Wednesday unveiled rules designed to protect owners of retirement accounts — including for the first time IRAs — from stockbrokers, insurance agents and other types of financial advisers who “put

their own profits ahead of their clients’ best interest.”

The rules — set to go into effect starting next April — require retirement advisers to meet a higher “fiduciary” standard when selling investments (mutual funds) and products (variable annuities) to retirement account owners. In the past, many advisers had to abide only by a suitability standard.

“The DOL has indeed taken a major step toward a more secure and dignified retirement for millions of Americans,” says Harold Evensky, chairman of Evensky & Katz/ Foldes Financial. “It seems that the Department of Labor’s years of effort will be a major win for investors.”

Under Labor’s definition, any person — be they a broker, registered investment adviser or in-

The new “fiduciary” rules are set to take effect next April.

“The Labor Department rule puts investors in charge, but investors may not yet know it.”

Knut Rostad, president of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard

surance agent — paid to give advice to a plan sponsor (an employer with a retirement plan, for instance), plan participant or IRA owner is now considered a fiduciary. The new rule would also apply to advisers who help workers decide whether to roll over their money from an employersponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), to an IRA. Proponents of the rule suggest it might take time for all parties to understand the consequences.

“The key issue is that the Labor Department rule puts investors in charge, but investors may not yet know it,” says Knut Rostad, president of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard.

Critics of the rule, including Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., weren’t pleased. They say that the cost of advice will rise and that there will be fewer advisers serving an evergrowing clientele.

“Washington doesn’t need to put another roadblock between

people and their financial goals,” Garrett said in a statement. “By ignoring the advice of the SEC and Congress, the DOL’s rule will increase the cost of retirement advice for lower- and middle-income Americans while creating a preferred class of rich investors.”

Proponents, however, say the new rule will change the advice industry/profession for the better. Brokerage firms will likely launch more fee-based accounts and start selling no-load variable annuities. Plus, it’s likely advisers who largely earn a living by not acting in their client’s best interest will exit the business.

If advisers and firms don’t adhere to the standards, the Labor Department says, retirement investors will be able to hold them accountable — such as through a breach of contract claim.

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

It’s back! The correlation, that is, between oil prices and the direction of the U.S. stock market.

Oil prices, which had been sliding recently, dragging stocks down with it, soared more than 5% Wednesday to settle at $37.75 a barrel. And the price of the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index followed suit, rising 1.1% to 2066.66, extending its year-to-date gain to 1.1% and putting it within 3% of its May 2015 all-time record close.

Don’t assume ‘smart money’ is always right

Q: Are activist investors worth following?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: “Whale watching” is popular with some investors. Regulatory filings will show you what large and well-known investors — including hedge funds — are buying or selling. But don’t assume the “smart money” is always right.

One of the best examples showing how even big-time activists aren’t always right is Bill Ackman of Pershing Square.

The hedge fund manager is trying to explain why one of his major investment vehicles has lost a quarter of its value in the first quarter.

Ackman bet big on drug company Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which is down 66% so far this year.

That’s not to say activists are all bad for investors.

There was a roughly 6% jump in stock prices around the time activist investors have said they’re getting involved, according to a study of data between 1994 and 2007 by Duke University, Harvard Law School and Columbia Business School. These companies also showed higher returns on assets five years after being targeted by activists.

Activists aren’t showing any signs of letting up. Five companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are 15% or more owned by activists, says S&P Global.

But investors should know that doesn’t mean they’ll be right.

User-friendly Ally Financial dives into the brokerage biz Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Ally Financial (ALLY) has found a new friend in the brokerage business.

The Detroit-based bank Tuesday agreed to buy brokerage TradeKing in a play to broaden its financial offerings beyond loans and savings accounts to include trading and investing. The deal is worth $275 million, says S&P Global Capital Markets, making it the biggest purchase for the company since at least 1980.

Ally Financial, founded in 1919

USA TODAY

40% of Ally’s new customers are digital-savvy Millennials.

as General Motors Acceptance Corp., or GMAC, was created to provide loans to car buyers. Since becoming a stand-alone publicly traded company in 2014, it has

workedto broaden its appeal.

“We hear from our customers and they want more products and services from Ally,” says Diane Morais, CEO and president of Ally Bank, the consumer banking unit of Ally Financial. Morais says the bank has 1.1 million deposit customers and 4.5 million auto loan customers who will need access to additional financial products. Currently, 40% of Ally’s new customers are Millennials who may be approaching the age where investing will become more important, Morais says.

There could be a bit of an adjustment in combining Ally,

known for its user-friendly apps and and savings accounts, with TradeKing, which has become a destination for serious investors who focused mainly on rapid-fire stock and options trading.

Aligning with Ally gives TradeKing access to greater resources in keeping its edge with technology innovation demanded by investors, says TradeKing CEO and founder Donato Montanaro.

“It’s been fun but challenging doing battle with companies with bigger resources,” he says. TradeKing could benefit, too, as many of its rivals ranging from TD Ameritrade (AMTD) to

Charles Schwab (SCHW) have added banking services that investors demand, too, in addition to trading tools.

The combined entity is launching into a crowded space, however. Capital One Financial (COF), with roots in credit cards and banking, bought brokerage Sharebuider in 2012 as part of its ING Bank acquisition. Schwab and TD Ameritrade each offer banking services and no-commission investment products aimed at long-term investors. And startups like Betterment and Schwab have launched low-cost, self-service “robo adviser” products.

The good? “My husband and I are planning our family,” she said, beaming in AFP/GETTY IMAGES a video posted to Twitter. The bad: Her doctors have ordered her to rest up, which means she’s postponing the second leg of her Unbreakable world tour indefinitely.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY LENA DUNHAM Lena Dunham has a new notch on her literary belt: publisher.

The creator/star of HBO’s ‘Girls’ and author of ‘Not That Kind of Girl’ is getting her own publishing imprint called Lenny with her ‘Girls’ executive producer Jenni Konner, developed in partnership with Random House.

In his 1968 song Mama Tried, Merle Haggard sang of turning 21 in prison. Haggard, who died Wednesday in California on his 79th birthday, had done just that, though not, as he sang in the song, “doing life without parole.”

Haggard’s youth of petty crime, financial insecurity and freightcar hopping eventually informed songs that spoke plainly but not predictably of social outcasts, blue-collar concerns and persistent restlessness.

Aside, perhaps, from Hank Williams, no other figure in country music affected the way songs would be written and how they would be sung as much as Haggard did. A 53-year recording career yielded 38 No. 1 country hits, a run exceeded only by Conway Twitty and George Strait.

Haggard was born in Oildale, Calif., in 1937, the son of a pair of Dust Bowl refugees from Oklahoma. He spent his early years living in a house that his father, James Haggard, had fashioned from an abandoned refrigerated train car.

The elder Haggard died when Merle was 9, throwing his world into chaos. Two years later, he hopped his first railroad car, starting a series of encounters with police that culminated in a stretch of hard time. He spent 21⁄2 years at San Quentin State Prison after a botched burglary before being paroled in 1960, at age 23.

He had dabbled in music before prison. Inspired by a Johnny Cash concert at San Quentin, he pursued it in earnest upon his release, eventually landing a gig playing bass for California country star Wynn Stewart. Haggard signed to Tally Records in 1962.

His Sing A Sad Song entered the charts the final week of 1963.

He moved to Capitol Records in 1965 and had his first charttopper, The Fugitive, two years later. Rather than move to Nashville, as many country singers did, Haggard preferred to stay in California, often recording at Capitol’s Hollywood studios.

Haggard’s most famous hit, Okie From Muskogee, came in fall 1969 and touted traditional, patriotic values. “We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street,” Haggard sang on country radio stations as hundreds of thousands gathered for National Moratorium demonstrations against the Vietnam War, “but we

But Haggard’s own perspectives, even when it came to that song, rarely were so cut and dried. Haggard’s politically oriented songs ran the gamut. If there was some question whether

Haggard’s personal opinions matched those in Okie, no one could misunderstand his message for a certain type of protester in his next single, Workin’ Man Blues: “When you’re runnin’ down our country, man, you’re

walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.”

Haggard created music that invariably drew on the past, spoke to the present and influenced the future. He left an indelible mark on subsequent generations of singers, so his sound really has never left the airwaves.

It’s there, in the voices of Strait and Randy Travis, who claimed his influence, and in the songs of those who yearned for his gift of writing simply and with such emotional resonance. It’s in the music of Emmylou Harris, Alan Jackson and Dwight Yoakam, who recorded his songs.

Finally, it’s there in more than a half-century’s worth of songs that span the range of the American experience. Songs about prisons and barrooms, of highways and trains, of loves lost and remembered, of life lived in the spotlight and looking in the mirror. Nobody approached those subjects quite like Haggard, but everyone could find a piece of themselves in his songs.

But ribald sweets peddler is missing her gooey center

Melissa McCarthy is a take-noprisoners brownie hustler in The Boss, though the raucous comedy fails to keep up with its charismatic star.

Directed by Ben Falcone (Tammy), at the helm of another vehicle for his wife, The MOVIE Boss (ee out of four; REVIEW rated R; in theaters BRIAN nationwide Friday) TRUITT casts McCarthy as a female business tycoon who gets a comeuppance and winds up teaming with her former assistant (Kristen Bell) to hawk chocolate morsels and get back on top. A free-for-all of inappropriate language unsuitable for even the most crass boy’s-club boardroom, The Boss can’t quite decide if warming the heart or obliterating it with insults is the end goal.

After an opening that points to to her foster-kid roots, McCarthy’s Michelle Darnell gets a fiery introduction via a Vegas-ready gold phoenix — her totem animal — and raps alongside T-Pain

HOPPER STONE

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell have new Darlings in The Boss. while pyro goes off. Her eternally turtlenecked mistress of business only goes more over the top from there: Michelle is a decidedly untrustworthy sort with the powerful demeanor of Donald Trump and the rap sheet of Martha Stewart, as Michelle is sent to a cushy slammer for five months for insider trading.

She loses pretty much everything, though finds the family she’s never had when Michelle’s former employee Claire (Bell) and her daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson) give her a home when she needs it the most. While

Mom’s at work, Michelle takes Rachel to meetings of the kid’s uncool Girl Scout-y Dandelions troop. Put off by the sale of mediocre cookies, Michelle sees more dollar signs — and a way back to the big time — when she has a bite of Claire’s to-die-for brownies. Thus, the two women start up Darnell’s Darlings, a group of beret-clad youngsters who resemble revolutionary freedom fighters more so than your standard sashwearing sugar peddlers.

There are many moments where The Boss feels as if it’s going for a slightly more subver-

sive Bad News Bears vibe, before it turns overly mean-spirited as four-letter words fly around kids. There is one violent girl fight, with teens getting thrown into cars and cookie crumbs winding up in unseemly body crevices, that is totally out of place. However, it’s nigh impossible to stifle the chuckles spawned

by Michelle’s knife-sharp verbal barbs, the highlights of a script co-written by McCarthy and Falcone.

Tyler Labine and Kathy Bates work nicely in a pair of smaller supporting roles, as Claire’s love interest and Michelle’s model mentor respectively. Peter Dinklage’s talents are utilized only sparingly as Michelle’s antagonist ex Renault, a Jersey boy who fancies himself a French samurai and is out to ruin the wily new bakers.

While not as strong a performance overall as in last year’s excellent Spy, McCarthy gives Michelle enough heart to make an otherwise despicable character quite likable. The scenes where Michelle and Rachel bond are the sweetest moments in the film — more boss, in fact, than McCarthy’s interactions with any of her fellow adults.

U.S. Summit coach ‘honored’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

WR aide Phillips’ résumé loaded

L.J. Goolsby, who as head coach of KC Run GMC (formerly Pump N Run) the last 13 years has established himself as one of the top youth basketball coaches in the country, this week tries to turn a star-studded group of blue-chip high school basketball players into a true team.

His USA Under 19 squad,

which includes KU recruiting targets Josh Jackson, Terrance Ferguson and Jarrett Allen, as well as Duke signees Jayson Tatum and Frank Jackson and Kentucky signee De’Aaron Fox, will meet future KU forward Udoka Azubuike’s World squad in the Nike Hoop Summit at 2 p.m., Central time, Saturday (ESPN2) in Portland’s Moda Center.

He was a first-team AllAmerican wide receiver and primary target of a quarterback who went on to win the Heisman Trophy. He led the nation in receiving yardage in backto-back seasons, faced off against Deion Sanders daily in Atlanta Falcons practices, worked as an intern for the Minnesota Vikings when Randy Moss and Cris Carter were there and coached the first receiver taken in the 2008 NFL Draft. He now works on Kansas University football coach David Beaty’s staff.

If you can’t identify that résumé, don’t feel bad. Jason Phillips, KU’s firstyear wide receivers coach, is on the low-key side and Phillips doesn’t reference the big names and accomplishments of his football career unless you introduce them into conversation.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY ASSISTANT COACH ROB LIKENS watches over practice Tuesday at the KU practice fields.

Likens takes liking to role

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Speaking for the first time since the news surfaced that Kansas University football coach David Beaty would be taking over play-calling duties this season, offensive coordinator Rob Likens sounded a lot more like a man appreciative of an opportunity than disappointed about a demotion.

“We kind of have a little role reversal going on during our team sessions in practice,” Likens said Wednesday. “Since he’s calling the plays, that frees me up, and he wants me to see things like a head coach would see ’em.”

So that’s what Likens does. Whether he’s sticking his nose into offensive-line drills or setting up specialteams situations, the second-year KU assistant is approaching things with more of a big-picture vibe than before.

He outlined exactly why he’s happy doing things this way, from on- and off-thefield perspectives.

“You know what I like to see?” Likens asked. “I like to see coaches and players interact. I like to see a Please see LIKENS, page 3C

Relays pole vault official J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University officially announced Wednesday that the Street Pole Vault Exhibition will be held in conjunction with the Kansas Relays.

The exhibition is set for 5:30 p.m. on April 21 in the parking lot of the Salty Iguana restaurant near the corner of Sixth and Wakarusa streets in western Lawrence.

“This is another way we are trying to expose track and field to the community,” Milan Donley, director of the Kansas Relays, said. “With the success of the downtown shot put and long jump

week’s six practices and the game.

“There are guys who can play different positions. We can guard different positions, so that will give us the flexibility to play different lineups quite a bit. And our length is a huge difference this year versus last year, especially on the perimeter,” Goolsby said.

Goolsby, who also helped the USA to gold medals as an assistant coach at the 2013 FIBA Americas U16 Championship and the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship, said the World team is “able to shoot the basketball.

They’ve got some skilled guys, and we are going to have to make sure we know where they are. A couple of their bigs can make some things happen. It will be interesting because a couple of pieces have changed in the last week, but we will be ready.”

events in past years, we know this will be another fun and unique event that will interest fans from around Lawrence.”

The event will feature four males and four females, all professionals, in an exhibition-style pole vault competition. There will be predetermined heights, with each athlete earning a dollar amount per clearance. Just like a normal pole vault event, if an athlete fails to clear a bar after three attempts at one height, he or she will be out of the competition. The final vaulter remaining in each gender will be declared the winner.

The men’s field will

include former Kansas track standout Jordan Scott, a seven-time Big 12 champion while vaulting for the Jayhawks who claimed the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championship in the event. Since his days in Lawrence, Scott has enjoyed a successful professional career, which has seen him claim a host of event victories including the 2013 USA Indoor Championship.

Jack Whitt, Mark Hollis and Carlo Paech round out the men’s field.

The women’s field is still being completed and will be announced later.

The Kansas Relays will run April 20-23 at Rock Chalk Park.

rance Ferguson, a 6-6 senior shooting guard from Dallas Advanced Prep International who is ranked No. 12 nationally

by Rivals.com, tells Rivals he hopes to choose a college on April 13. He is considering KU, Arizona, Baylor, North Carolina, Maryland and N.C. State after decommitting from Alabama.

“I’ve already taken unofficial visits to Kansas and Baylor so I probably don’t need to visit them.

But North Carolina has really been trying to get in the mix and hitting me hard this last week so I am considering a visit to them and I’ve put them in my final six,” Ferguson told Rivals.com.

I felt that if I could do this full-time, it would be great. If I went to college I could not see myself not taking my academics seriously. I would want to take serious classes and do well in them. I would have to split time in my focus. My approach is to always go all out and try to be the best if I’m going to do something,” Maker added to draftexpress.com’s Jonathan Givony.

player mess up. I like to see the coach go over there and coach him, and then I get a chance to watch his body language when that coach walks away. Does the kid pout?

Is he accepting coaching?

“Then I’ll walk over there and go, ‘Hey, man, you know coach is just trying to get you better, right?’ And I can kind of take over that motivating and leadership role.

That’s what I really like to do in coaching, and that’s been really cool.”

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“He had four clips of video on his highlight tape, all which would be running by people. We red-shirted him because he couldn’t catch the football. So we had to work with him to get him to catch the football. And to get him to understand how to use his skills to run routes. Then he morphed into the first receiver taken in the National Football League.”

Especially at a place like Kansas, which picks much closer to last than first among Big 12 recruits, sometimes it serves a recruiter to find something he likes in a prospect, instead of insisting the athlete fit the Big 12 size-and-speed profile.

“It can be a guy who’s unexpected who could end up being that guy,”

Likens said he and Beaty still meet every day to talk about the offense — often more than once — and added that he now feels free to provide his input into how KU plans to score points in 2016.

One of those daily meetings between head coach and offensive coordinator has taken place immediately after each spring practice, and Likens said that was when the two went over the notes he took from that day’s action.

As much as he has enjoyed his new role — Likens said most of his time this spring has been spent with the offensive line, because, “There’s so

Phillips said. “For instance, my last year at Houston, it was Patrick Edwards.”

As a senior in 2011, Edwards caught 89 passes for 1,752 yards (19.7 yards per catch) and 20 touchdowns.

“And he was a walkon,” Phillips said. “Every player needs a coach who believes in him. So if you see something there and develop that talent, and that player is willing to give you everything he’s got, and he’s attentive to the details, and he’s willing to work hard, and he’s willing to commit to the process, that’s the recipe for success.”

After playing six seasons in the NFL and three in the Canadian Football League, Phillips went into coaching. One of his first jobs was as a training camp intern for the Minnesota Vikings, where he was able to watch Moss and Carter go about their jobs.

Moss’ physical gifts —

many of them and they’re so young” — Likens did not attempt to dance around the fact that having play-calling taken away from him one year after being hired to do just that was disappointing the day he learned about the change.

“I’m only human, you know,” Likens said.

“When you have this vision in your mind, yeah, you’re gonna get disappointed when it changes on you. However, you choose, in life, what type of attitude you’re gonna have.”

With Likens, that choice comes down to walking tall with pep in his step, a smile on his

long and lean, fast and agile — were obvious, but it was the football student in him that most impressed Phillips. Carter’s veteran presence and work ethic rubbed off on Moss, Phillips said.

“Randy was very focused as far as his craft,” Phillips said. “Always very focused as far as getting better, competing. It was always game day to him in practice, which was fun to watch because he was a freak, for real.”

So was Neon Deion, aka Prime Time.

“We’ve remained friends, and I think it has a lot to do with the way we competed against each other in practice,” Phillips said. “I used to tell him, ‘Everybody calls you Prime Time. I call you Deion because I’m playing against Deion, I’m not playing against Prime Time.”

Phillips’ attention to detail, competitive

face and optimism about the future.

“Yeah, I had a couple bad days,” he said. “But when I would think about it, my love for Montell Cozart, my love for Larry Hughes and the kids and what these guys have been through, man, they deserve my very, very best. If I wanted to sit back and pout, that would be extremely selfish on my part as an adult because these guys deserve so much more than that.”

The Jayhawks will be back on the field this afternoon for spring practice No. 12 of 15 and will follow that with the spring game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

spirit, speed and hands enabled him to become a first-team All-American.

Showing his players films of the mentality he brought to practice every day might not be such a bad teaching tool, but so far, Phillips said, he hasn’t gone down that path with his Kansas receivers.

“I was thinking of showing some cutups, but we had those short shorts,” Phillips said. “So it would probably take away from the message because they would laugh at the uniforms and the short shorts that we wore. So we can’t really do a lot of visual.

“So I just try to tell them stories of what those guys were like on a daily basis, so these guys can understand it’s not just about showing up, you have to show up with a purpose and do things with a mentality.”

That approach certainly has served him well.

Kansas baseball thumped, 18-11 J-W Staff Reports

Springfield, Mo. — Kansas University committed four errors and surrendered 18 hits in an 18-11 nonconference baseball loss to No. 16-ranked Missouri State on Wednesday.

The Bears’ Spencer Johnson hit three home runs — including a grand slam — and became the second player this season to hit three homers in a game against the Jayhawks (11-16).

“He was really special tonight,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “All three home runs he hit, he smoked — he didn’t get any cheap ones.”

Duncan, who helps run youth basketball tournaments, said he has no desire to continue coaching in the near future.

Blake Goldsberry (0-4) took the loss after allowing 10 runs — just four earned — off seven hits over three innings.

“Obviously, we hurt ourselves with the poor defense that we played, and it set the table for a lot of those runs,” Price said.

Missouri State improved to 24-5.

I’ve never viewed myself as a career coach.”

With extra free time, Duncan said he’s looking forward to traveling with his wife and young kids in the summer.

“There’s not a lot of home time, and something had to give,” Duncan said. “Certainly, my thoughts for coaching and basketball are incredible, but it was best for my family, and frankly, best for our program. It’ll be a good change for everybody.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Story goes deep again Orioles 4, Twins 2 Baltimore — Chris Davis homered to back an effective pitching performance by Yovani Gallardo in his Orioles debut, and Baltimore beat Minnesota.

The Associated Press

National League Rockies 4, Diamondbacks 3 Phoenix — Rookie Trevor Story made baseball history by hitting a home run in each of his first three major-league games, and Colorado beat Arizona on Wednesday.

Story also is the first player in baseball history to hit a home run for each of his first four hits.

Colorado’s Tyler Chatwood (1-0) pitched a strong 61⁄3 innings in his first big-league appearance since recovering from a second Tommy John surgery.

Story’s two-run homer off Patrick Corbin in the first inning gave him four for the season.

Nicasio gave up one run and two hits while striking out seven and walking none. Signed to a $3 million, one-year contract as a free agent in the offseason, Nicasio pitched 15 scoreless innings during spring training with 24 strikeouts.
