STATE BUDGET

Revenues expected to fall 3.5% ———

Projections for fiscal 2016 $98.2 million lower than officials had estimated

New positions

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — State budget officials in Kansas issued a gloomy report Monday that says total revenues flowing into the state are expected to fall 3.5 percent next year, creating an even bigger budget hole for lawmakers to fill when they return next week to wrap up the 2015 session.

The report, known as the Consensus Revenue Estimates, predicts the state will collect only $5.7 billion in revenue in the fiscal year that starts July 1, the smallest amount since the depths of the Great Recession in 2010, when the state collected only $5.2 billion. It’s

Caroljean “Cj” Brune Caroljean “CJ” Brune, 68, of Lawrence, died on April 16, 2015 after a brief illness.

She was born April 18, 1946, in Clay Center, KS, daughter of Donald R. Stagner and Geneva Haynes Stagner.

She attended KU 1964-72 while raising her two sons and returned to receive an MBA in 1984. She spent her professional life on the University staff, first in the Admissions Office and then in the Budget Office and as business manager of the School of Education. She served on several university search committees and as president of the Unclassified Professional Staff Association (UPSA).

She was a member of the University Women’s Club.

CJ was known for her work in organizations dedicated to progressive causes. Some of these included Ad Astra Institute, Grass Roots Action, Sierra Club, Lawrence Preservation Alliance, Occupy Lawrence, Kansas Mutual Aid & Solidarity, Congress for Racial Equality ( CORE), International Workers of the World (IWW), Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice (LCPJ), Douglas County League of Women Voters (president), National Organization for Women (NOW), Code Pink, Peggy Bowman Second Chance Fund, Women’s Transitional Care Services, Lawrence Coalition for Homeless Concerns, Douglas County Democrats and Progressive Democratic Caucus, Women’s Studies Advisory Board.

She was a volunteer for many local organizations, most recently for the Lawrence Public Library, The Lawrence Humane Shelter, the Lawrence Community Shelter, and Depot Redux.

CJ was an active participant in local government, including two terms on the Lawrence Traffic Safety Commission and as campaign manager for several city and county commission candidates. She was an at-large member of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods (LAN).

She was best known as an activist for social justice, opposition to war, racial equality and women’s rights. She registered voters in the South in the 1960s, participated in student protests throughout her time at KU, and, in later years, attended demonstrations in Denver, New York, Austin and Washington, DC. Her proudest achievement was as a member of the February Sisters, who occupied the East Asian Studies building in 1972. They were the first women to occupy a university building in behalf of their own rights, and their action gained meaningful improvements for women at KU. She loved her family, travelling, and books and compiled a personal library of around 30,000 volumes.

CJ is survived by her husband Bill Getz of the home, her son Gregor Brune, Lawrence; her sister Joan Chance of Phoenix and brother Ross Stagner of Helena, Alabama.

She was preceded in death by her son Charles Brune and by her parents.

Caroljean requested that no formal services be held.

Memorials may be sent to the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, Lawrence Community Shelter, or to another progressive organization of choice c/o Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, P.O.

Homicide victim’s ex ordered to appear at hearing

The 26-year-old ex-lover of homicide victim Justina Altamirano Mosso was ordered Monday to appear for the preliminary hearing of

the Lawrence man charged in Altamirano Mosso’s death after the defense in the case said evidence suggests he could be “the real killer.�

Altamirano Mosso, 19, was found dead Nov. 9, 2014, at Cedarwood Apartments as a result of multiple

stab wounds and blows to the head in the bathroom of Felipe Cantu Ruiz, with whom she had a relationship, according to the arrest affidavit in the case.

Chamber proposes boost in spending for startups

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Spending more money to help small businesses grow will be a priority for the Lawrence chamber of commerce in 2016, but it also will mean the organization will spend less on trying to attract big companies to town.

Leaders with The Chamber on Monday unveiled their 2016 budget request for city and county funding. The funding request includes a new $40,000 program called BizFuel that will involve

the city, the county, The Chamber, the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County, the Kansas University Small Business Development Center and the Lawrence Public Library coming together to host seminars and other forums for small businesses or startups.

But the program largely is being funded by cutting in half The Chamber’s budget for recruiting new businesses to town. “We think we can get the same results with

Altamirano Mosso’s death.

Washington told investigators that he initially discovered the body but did not report the crime, according to the affidavit supporting his arrest.

Family members told the Journal-World in Novem-

ber that Cantu Ruiz was Altamirano Mosso’s husband and the father of her young daughter in Mexico. The affidavit, however, lists Cantu Ruiz as Altamirano Mosso’s ex-boyfriend.

Pollington told members of the Joint Economic Development Council that funding for The Chamber’s “business recruitment� line item would drop to $33,000, down from $66,000 in previous years. Pollington said the drop in funding would mean local economic development officials would be going to fewer conferences

KU, K-State leaders criticize planned tuition freeze Staff Reports

Topeka — The Kansas University chancellor and Kansas State University president are speaking out against a proposal to freeze college tuition in the state.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, in a letter Monday to faculty and staff, called the proposal a “curious move by legislators.� She said the proposal does nothing to address the state’s rev-

enue shortfall and that KU remains affordable compared with its peer universities.

W h e n Gray-Little adjusted for inflation, per-student state support for KU has declined nearly 40 percent over the past 15 years, according to Gray-Little’s letter. “While we share legislators’ focus on afford-

ability, there are serious implications for freezing tuition, most notably that it prevents us from being able to keep up with inflation, let alone to embark on new initiatives to benefit Kansas,� GrayLittle wrote.

K-State President Kirk Schultz said in a statement Friday that a proposal inserted into a budget being considered by the Legislature would hurt the university’s Please see TUITION, page 4A

Ninth Street residents share history

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Toward the end of the third and final public art workshop discussing the Ninth Street Corridor project, the word “gentrification� began to creep into the conversation.

The public meeting, hosted by local historian Dennis Domer, was held Monday night in the gymnasium of New York Elementary School. About 75 community members, city and business representatives gathered in the school

to take part in a roundtable discussion on the history of East Lawrence.

The recent series of public art workshops have given the project’s design team, also in attendance, an opportunity to look to local residents for feedback and guidance on the project.

Those in attendance spoke of their childhoods in East Lawrence, ethnic histories and economic histories they shared.

Reverend Verdell Taylor of St Luke African Methodist Episcopal

Church spoke briefly of African American history throughout the city, his experiences with community members and his own life in Lawrence for the past 20 years.

As a pastor of a predominately black church where many other ethnicities also are represented, Taylor said it was important for him to share a piece of the town’s history at Monday’s meeting. “It’s also important because I’m a member

designed to meet site selectors and others who guide companies about where to locate projects.

But economic development leaders said The Chamber would continue to be members of networking organizations through the Kansas Department of Commerce and the Kansas City Area Development Council.

Large prospects — companies wanting to build a new plant or relocate their headquarters, for example — are increasingly using those two organizations as their primary points of contact instead of local chambers of commerce.

“I am very encouraged by the deal flow that is going on in the region,” said Larry McElwain, president and CEO of The Chamber. “We are getting opportunities almost every week to look at projects.”

Landing larger companies in town is expected

. to be important in the coming years. The city has invested several million dollars to convert the former Farmland Industries fertilizer plant into a new business park, Lawrence VenturePark, which is seeking its first tenant.

Devoting more money to startups and other small businesses follows through on a theme that The Chamber heard from community members last year when it developed a new strategic plan for economic development, Pollington said.

“We want to provide programming that will help fuel our local businesses and make them stronger,” Pollington said.

The program will involve hosting several forums or workshops each year. Although funding from the city and county wouldn’t begin until 2016, The Chamber hopes to launch the program next month with a workshop about small-business taxes. Other topics in the future could include human resource issues, technology issues and business

funding topics.

Pollington said The Chamber also is still interested in creating a scholarship program and a revolving loan fund that could assist small businesses. But he said the 2016 budget doesn’t specifically include a line item for those programs.

The Chamber also has talked about the need for a venture capital fund that could be used to help fund expanding businesses. Pollington said he thinks such a fund is more likely to be created by the private sector.

The Joint Economic Development Council — which is a board appointed by the city, the county and The Chamber — unanimously approved the budget request. Now, city and county commissioners will consider the funding request as part of their budget processes this summer.

Details from the request include: l The Chamber is asking for $220,000 each from the city and the county. The Chamber would provide $250,000 in funding that it has

ability to provide quality academic programs, the Associated Press reported. Schultz said that forcing state universities to maintain fixed tuition rates while holding state funding to flat levels for the next two years would remove flexibility from their budgets.

Schultz said Kansas State’s annual enrollment has grown by more than 2,300 students since 2001 and that adopting a freeze at this time would have devastating effects.

Because of the growth in funding demands, Schultz said the proposal would effectively result in the biggest budget cut in the university’s history.

of the community and I want to be totally involved in this community process,” Taylor said.

As the meeting drew to a close, one woman addressed Josh Shelton of the project’s design team. She asked him about transparency within the project and just how the stories shared would impact their planning process.

“When we say we don’t know how this information will be used, we truly don’t know yet,” Shelton said to the crowd. “I think we’re trying to slow burn this project enough to let some of this stuff

When we say we don’t know how this information will be used, we truly don’t know yet. I think we’re trying to slow burn this project enough to let some of this stuff digest, to talk about it amongst ourselves and to talk about it with you all.”

Part of the project’s process for transpar-

raised through a private capital campaign. The request represents an increase of about $500 in funding over what the city is budgeted to provide in 2015 and about $2,000 more than what the county has budgeted to provide. The $250,000 from The Chamber is equal to 2015, but it is up significantly from 2013 when The Chamber provided only $65,000 in funding for economic development functions. l Salaries and benefits are the largest line item in the budget at $302,000.

That’s unchanged from the 2015 amount. l Other large line items include: $43,000 for marketing, $35,000 for business retention and expansion programs; $40,000 in funding for the KU Small Business Development Center; and $33,000 used to repay a loan from the Economic Development Corporation that was used to hire a consultant who helped with the capital campaign.

ency, Shelton said, includes meetings like Monday’s and the Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting at the school this Wednesday.

When confronted about the project’s potential to displace lower-income East Lawrence residents in favor of a more affluent population, or gentrifying the area, Shelton told the crowd that is not the team’s goal.

“We are not seeking to be a Trojan Horse for development interests,” he said.

The next Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting will take place at New York Elementary at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Car crash causes power outage Westar Energy restored power to about 50 customers following a crash early Monday that destroyed a utility pole.

Lawrence police were called to an address in the 3200 block of West Ninth Street shortly before 2 a.m., after a driver crashed into a pole.

The impact split the utility pole, which collapsed and disrupted power to about 50 customers. The power lines were on top of the car according to scanner traffic.

Westar crews were able to restore power to all customers by 3 a.m. West

NOTICE: Roofer Registration

Ninth Street was closed until about 7:30 a.m. between Chalk Hill Court and Holiday Drive while Westar crews replaced the utility pole that was destroyed in the crash.

A witness told officers that two people were seen running away from the car just after the crash.

Police located at least one of the car’s occupants about an hour later. According to scanner traffic, that person had pieces of broken glass in their hair.

No injuries were reported in the crash.

quake rattled south-central Kansas, The Hutchinson News reported. The last time that occurred was more than nine months ago, at the end of June 2014, according to U.S. Geological Survey figures.

Since September, the region has experienced an average of 17 quakes of magnitude 2.0 or higher each month.

Scientists and regulators have said the injection deep underground of a byproduct of oil and gas production is likely triggering the tremors along existing but previously unknown fault lines in the region.

The Kansas Corporation Commission issued an order on March 20 that set a new maximum daily amount of waste saltwater injection amounts in Harper and Sumner counties. The order also further limited disposal levels in five specific areas of “seismic concern.”

This is a case Homicide “where there was a CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

At Washington’s Monday court appearance, defense attorney Sarah Swain asked Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild to order Cantu Ruiz to give a deposition. Swain said she’d met with Cantu Ruiz the prior week at the Douglas County Jail, but he was uncooperative and would not tell her where he was living. Cantu Ruiz had been serving a sentence for a DUI offense, Swain said.

Swain said she asked for the deposition order to question Cantu Ruiz because she believes “all of the circumstantial evidence points to the fact that this was a crime of passion.”

“The manner in which she was killed suggests a personal relationship with the killer,” Swain told the Journal-World.

“She was found in his apartment where she was not living at the time; there is evidence of a violent, tumultuous relationship between (Cantu Ruiz) and this young woman and prior domestic violence calls.”

But Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, who is prosecuting the case, said the state is confident the right man is being charged.

“The testimony and forensic evidence the state believes will be presented at preliminary hearing will provide clear probable cause the defendant committed this crime and not Mr. Felipe Cantu Ruiz,” Branson told the Journal-World.

Instead of ordering the deposition, Fairchild ordered Cantu Ruiz, who was subpoenaed for the hearing Monday, to appear for the preliminary hearing. There, both the state and the defense will have the opportunity to call him as a witness.

Swain told the court she was fearful that Cantu Ruiz would flee.

“He has no ties to the community and we are pointing the finger at him,” Swain said. “He has no reason to stay and every reason to go.”

According to the affidavit, Altamirano Mosso’s body was found Nov. 9 after her cousin, Olivia Flores, said the woman “was involved in an argument” with Cantu Ruiz and was last known to have been going to see him at his apartment on Nov. 7.

Flores said she contacted Cantu Ruiz after failing to hear from Altamirano Mosso. Flores said Cantu Ruiz told her he had given Altamirano Mosso his apartment and car keys and moved to Manhattan after seeing

significant amount of forensic evidence.

As we all know, witnesses lie, but the evidence left behind will lead us to the real killer.”

— Sarah Swain, defense attorney for Rontarus Washington Jr. her, according to the affidavit.

Cantu Ruiz also told investigators that he had an argument with Altamirano Mosso on Nov. 8 and last saw her in the apartment’s parking lot when he left with a friend to go to Manhattan, according to the affidavit.

Washington, who lived down the hall from where Altamirano Mosso was discovered, told investigators during an interview that he, too, saw the fight in the parking lot between Cantu Ruiz and Altamirano Mosso on the day of the woman’s death.

Washington said that he saw Cantu Ruiz leave, and later went into Cantu Ruiz’s apartment “looking for (money) to take from a table where he had stolen money before.” Inside, he “saw a dead body next to the bathtub” and “it appeared the female was either stabbed or beat to death,” the affidavit said.

Lawrence Detective Jamie Lawson said in the affidavit that details of where the body was found or the mechanism of death had not been released at the time of the interview.

A fingerprint beneath a portion of a broken porcelain toilet tank top found near Altamirano Mosso’s body matched Washington’s, the affidavit said.

Also on Monday, Swain asked Fairchild to order the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to preserve all evidence it has in the case.

Swain said she wants to have the opportunity to test the evidence at a private lab and she’d been told the KBI at times destroyed DNA extracts that do “not meet their threshold” for testability.

“This is a case where there was a significant amount of forensic evidence,” Swain said. “As we all know, witnesses lie, but the evidence left behind will lead us to the real killer.”

Fairchild ordered the KBI not to destroy any evidence in the case until he hears arguments on Swain’s motion at a hearing April 28.

The preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 9-10.

The city has been using money from the infrastructure sales tax to replace fire trucks since 2010. But the sales tax is scheduled to expire in 2019, and only $100,000 of sales tax money is budgeted in the future for fire engine replacement. (Most trucks cost $500,000 or more.)

Certainly, the city may ask voters to renew the sales tax before it expires. Absent that, the department will need to find another funding source, because Bradford has said continuing to

Bradford says in his memo to commissioners that “it is becoming difficult” for the department to meet its response time goals with the current system of fire stations.

Although not mentioned specifically in the memo, everyone at City Hall is bracing for negotiations with the union that represents Lawrence firefighters. The union believes a study will show that pay for Lawrence firefighters has fallen behind that of peer communities, which puts the city at risk of losing firefighters to other cities in the region. If you remember, the city and fire union went to impasse in negotiations last year.

This year’s negotiations are expected to begin soon. l Police officer pay.

The city also will be negotiating with the association that represents police officers. Khatib, though, notes that sergeants and captains aren’t represented by that association when it comes to wage and salary matters. He said salary ranges for those positions have been capped for four years, which he said is “exasperating an already existing compensation compression problem.”

Budget director Shawn Sullivan said the downward revision was mainly due to smaller-than-expected growth in “consumption CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A taxes,” including retail sales taxes, as well as also $700 million less than a decline in corporate income taxes.

revenue picture, Sullivan said the Kansas economy was showing positive signs, pointing to growth in private-sector jobs, average weekly wages and the state’s relatively low unemployment rate.

Asked how the administration can fund state government effectively with less money than it had available eight years earlier, Sullivan said it was a matter of setting priorities.

“It’s a balancing act between continuing what we believe is job growth, wage numbers, unemployment and funding the core services that are in the budget,” Sullivan said. “So that will need to be weighed as this final budget and revenue package are contemplated.”

Lawmakers are scheduled to return to Topeka on April 29 to finalize the budget and wrap up the 2015 session.

Budget

the state collected in fiscal year 2012, the last year before Gov. Sam Brownback’s massive income tax cuts took effect.

That projection for fiscal year 2016 is $98.2 million lower than budget officials had previously estimated in November.

The projection for the following fiscal year calls for m o d e s t growth, to Brownback $5.77 billion. But that is still $100.8 million less than the earlier forecast.

Budget director Shawn Sullivan said the downward revision was mainly due to smaller-than-expected growth in “consumption taxes,” including retail sales taxes, as well as a decline in corporate income taxes.

Despite that, he said, the Brownback administration has no plans to reverse its tax policy, which calls for shifting the state’s reliance away from income taxes and onto consumption taxes.

“We will work with the Legislature to structurally balance the budget and hopefully continue the trend towards lower income taxes as we move from a tax on productivity to a consumptionbased tax,” Sullivan said.

But Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said the de-

clining revenues were a direct result of the governor’s tax policies.

“Just as we anticipated it would be, the consensus revenue estimate report is grim, all because of Sam Brownback’s failed economic experiment,” Hensley said in a statement released via email. “These numbers mean that the budget will be unfairly balanced by raising taxes on low and middle income Kansans while protecting wealthy Kansans who benefit from Brownback’s income tax cuts.”

By law, the final budget that lawmakers adopt this session must balance to the newest estimate, including providing for some amount of cash reserve left over at the end of the year.

So far, neither chamber of the Legislature has passed a comprehensive budget bill for the next two years, although they have approved a bill funding K-12 public education, and Republican leaders in the House said they are committed to fully funding that plan.

“We’ve committed to giving schools stable and predictable funding through the block grants, including the additional $126.2 million in new money added to schools for equalization as directed by the courts last spring,” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell,

said in a statement.

Meanwhile, House and Senate negotiators have tentatively agreed on a budget plan to fund most of the rest of state government. But based on the new revenue estimates, officials said, that plan would require roughly $400 million to $410 million in additional revenue next year.

Brownback has already proposed about $210 million in new revenue, mainly through increases in alcohol and cigarette taxes. But Republican legislators so far have given that plan a cool reception.

Sullivan said the administration will release its own proposed budget amendments on Thursday, when the House Appropriations Committee is scheduled to meet. And while he would not divulge complete details of that plan, he said part of it will call for a reduction in state Medicaid spending to reflect lower estimated costs in that program.

Brownback vetoes bill increasing regulations on Uber drivers

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed a bill Monday that would have increased regulations on ride-hailing companies like Uber, a decision that could face an override vote when the Legislature returns from its annual recess April 29.

In a statement, the governor said the bill, which would have required state background checks and broader insurance coverage for drivers for ridehailing companies, was “premature” and might stifle innovation in the state.

“This will allow companies like Uber to continue and expand operations in Kansas, where they otherwise would not be able to do so,” Brownback said.

Uber connects drivers to riders through a mobile app and now has about 700 subcontracted drivers operating in Kansas after entering the state in 2014, but had said it would cease operations in the state if the governor signed the bill into law.

The company applauded Brownback’s veto, saying in a statement the governor “demonstrated a deep understanding for how innovative businesses, such as Uber, can be a strong economic engine for communities while providing more choices to consumers throughout the state.”

Republican Rep. Scott Schwab from Olathe, one of the chief negotiators for the final version of the bill, accused the governor of caving to pressure from the company, which has expanded rapidly since 2009 from a Silicon Valley startup to a multinational company valued at more than $40 billion.

“He’s just helping them out or is succumbing to

threats by them — either way it doesn’t make him look like a strong leader right now,” Schwab said.

The bill passed the Legislature with large majorities — the Senate approved it 35-2, while the House’s vote was 10716 — and Schwab said he will seek to override the veto. That would require 27 votes in the Senate and 84 in the House, although many legislators may be reluctant to cross the governor over the issue.

Senate President Susan Wagle, a Republican from Wichita, said in a statement that Uber’s entry to Kansas has had a positive impact on the market, but the insurance requirements in the bill were necessary and Uber’s negotiating tactics over the bill alienated lawmakers.

“Uber chose not to work with those their product will ultimately impact, and resisted compromise throughout the legislative process,” Wagle said.

Schwab said the company got “90 percent of what it wanted” in the bill but continued to fiercely oppose it both through direct lobbying and other methods. Several legislators expressed frustration after Uber urged its customers to email lawmakers on the issue and so many did so that the Legislature’s email server was temporarily inoperable.

When lawmakers return later this month they will begin difficult talks over a mix of tax increases and budget cuts needed to close shortfalls of about $400 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

“The governor needs friends right now,” Schwab said, but through actions like the veto he “is making it harder and harder for people to work with him.”

Ex-lawmaker sentenced to 18 months Topeka — Former Kansas Republican state Rep. Trent LeDoux was sentenced to 18 months in jail Monday for defrauding a bank run by a longtime friend to help fund his political activities.

Authorities said LeDoux obtained three loans from Farmers & Merchants Bank in Colby to buy cattle, but failed to make payments and deposited $28,000 from the loans into his campaign account in late 2011 and 2012. LeDoux pleaded guilty last May and was ordered to pay about $461,000 in restitution to

the bank.

In a statement before the court he said he was “sorry for having taken up everyone’s time with this,” and apologized personally to Brent Wiedeman, the bank’s president, who approved the loans and testified at the hearing in favor of a stiffer punishment for LeDoux.

Wiedeman said after the hearing that he and LeDoux first met when both were in high school in 1990 and over the years became “very good friends” as classmates and fraternity brothers at Kansas State University.

Help out small businesses with online reviews Dear Annie: I am a small-business owner.

It’s challenging, but I have wonderful customers who seem to like our service. So, I’d like to ask your readers a question: Is there a business establishment that you enjoy going to? A restaurant that is part of your life? A store where you always are treated well? You can help them stay in business by writing a positive online review.

It’s human nature to complain when things go wrong, but it’s rare to post something to let people know when things go right. My business has only a few online reviews, and they are negative posts from customers who were not happy with some small thing.

Future of ABC’s ‘Boat’ uncertain ABC is wrapping up series’ seasons on the early side. Last week saw the end of “Last Man Standing” and “Cristela.” ‘‘How to Get Away With Murder” concluded its freshman year weeks ago. Tonight marks the final episode of “Fresh Off the Boat” (7 p.m., ABC), the sitcom based on the memoirs by celebrity chef Eddie Huang.

In tonight’s episode, Jessica (Constance Wu) worries that she and her family have lost their Chinese identity since moving to the suburbs. With “ C r i s tela” and “Black-ish,” “Boat” became the third ABC series in this season to contemplate the life of a minority family navigating their place in the American melting pot.

Not unlike ABC’s “The Goldbergs” or the old UPN/CW series “Everybody Hates Chris” it takes place in the recent past, adding pop culture nostalgia to its look at ethnic identity.

“Boat” started off with a fairly large audience. It initially aired in the wake of the popular “Modern Family.” Since moving to its current prime-time leadoff slot, it has seen its viewership dwindle. Episode 1 was watched by nearly 8 million viewers; episode 12 attracted fewer than five. Its 18-49 audience has fallen a full 40 percent.

The show’s theme of AsianAmerican assimilation and the place of hip-hop music and culture as a means of Americanization are fascinating concepts for a documentary. The show’s combination of a strident adolescent son, clueless dad and assertive if insecure mother seemed better suited to a loose improvisational approach a la “The Office” than ABC’s rather bright and shiny scripted comedy style. The show’s suburban setting and the plastic jogging moms seemed reminiscent of ABC’s canceled series “The Neighbors,” a comedy about space aliens that exulted in its sense of the fake and contrived.

Sitcoms based on personal memoirs have a spotty record.

It’s yet to be determined if “Boat” runs beyond one 13-episode season.

Losing ground

Dems need white working-class men

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

An agreement to freeze tuition in exchange for flat state funding only means state universities in Kansas will continue to lose ground.

K

ansas legislators say they are concerned about rising tuition at state universities but apparently not concerned enough to consider additional state funding to reduce the need for tuition increases.

In fact, a “compromise” written into the current version of the state budget agrees to hold state university funding steady (not increase it) in exchange for universities agreeing not to raise tuition.

Legislators aren’t the only ones concerned about higher tuition placing an additional burden on families and simply making it financially impossible for some students to pursue higher education opportunities at all. However, freezing tuition without supplying additional state resources to offset rising operational costs is a one-sided deal.

Although officials at Kansas University and other state schools have agreed to that deal, Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz went on the offensive this week, saying in a letter to the Topeka Capital-Journal, “Freezing tuition without any increase in state support will severely limit our ability to maintain the quality academic programs our students deserve.”

Two new reports from the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO) supported the contention that, even with rising tuition, state universities are falling behind and failing even to return to pre-recession levels of state funding.

According to the SHEEO report, state appropriations in Kansas dropped by 18.4 percent, or $1,276, per full-time equivalent student from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2014. From FY 2009 to FY 2014, tuition costs per full-time students have increased by 20 percent, but the $980 full-time equivalent tuition increase still was less than the loss in state funding. When tuition and state aid are combined, universities’ total per-student revenue has declined by 2.4 percent.

The AAUP reports a 7.9 percent decline in state appropriations for higher education between 2008 and 2013 and just a 2.77 increase in tuition in the same period.

While these reports support the case that tuition increases are tied to state funding reductions, not all legislators see that connection. House Speaker Ray Merrick told the Capital-Journal that tuition was on the rise before the recession triggered reductions in state funding. “It’s intellectually dishonest,” he said, “to lay the blame at the feet of the Legislature when history clearly demonstrates that tuition will rise regardless of the money the universities receive from the state.”

So, it seems the best state universities in Kansas can hope for is flat per-student funding that’s below pre-recession levels with no opportunity to make up the difference with tuition increases.

They can only hope that in final negotiations to balance the state budget, the Legislature doesn’t decide to reduce university funding while keeping the ban on higher tuition in place.

Either way, it’s no wonder Kansas university officials are worrying about how to maintain the quality of their institutions.

Democrats were once the party of the white working man — but that was a long time ago.

In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama won only one-third of the votes of white working-class men, a modern-day low. Mitt Romney, who didn’t seem much like a blue-collar guy, swept the votes of those working stiffs by a huge margin.

In the 2014 congressional election, Democratic candidates did even worse, one of the main reasons they lost nine Senate seats and their Senate majority.

That imbalance has tormented Democratic activists, who still see themselves as champions of the working class, the party’s core identity for most of the last century.

“If Democrats can’t figure out how to appeal to today’s working-class voters, then they don’t deserve to lead,” said Stan Greenberg, a political strategist and pollster who helped Bill Clinton win the presidency in 1992.

So they’ve done polls and held conferences. They’ve launched a grass-roots campaign to connect with bluecollar workers who aren’t union members. White noncollege voters — which is how pollsters define “working class” — have become the Democratic Party’s great white whale.

That may seem like a silly hang-up in view of the conventional wisdom that Democrats have a virtual lock on the next few presidential

“

White noncollege voters — which is how pollsters define ‘working class’ — have become the Democratic Party’s great white whale.” elections by virtue of demographics.

White men, after all, are a steadily shrinking piece of the electorate. When Ronald Reagan won the presidency in 1980, about one-third of all voters were white noncollege men. By 2012, their share was only about half as large: 17 percent.

The groups that are growing — women, minorities, young people — tend to vote Democratic. The party’s next nominee could still win the White House based mostly on their turnout; that’s how Obama won his second term.

But abandoning the hunt for white working-class men would make Democratic candidates vulnerable to any Republican candidate who could win a healthy share of minority voters, as George W. Bush did in 2000 and 2004. Equally important, because of the concentration of minority voters in urban districts, it would doom the Democrats to second place in congressional elections.

So it’s a practical problem, not just a sentimental one.

Almost by definition, identity politics is one source of the problem; some white noncollege voters have come to view Democrats as a party that cares about women and

minorities more than it cares about them.

“I think this is where Democrats screw up, you know?” former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., who says he may run for president, told Yahoo News recently. “I think that they have kind of unwittingly used this group, white working males, as a whipping post for a lot of their policies. And then when they react, they say they’re being racist.”

The biggest driver of white working-class disaffection, however, is clearly economic insecurity, combined with a sense that big government hasn’t done much to stand up for the little guy.

Poll after poll has shown that workers without college educations are more pessimistic than anyone else about the economic future.

That’s only logical, since their job prospects have been worsening for decades.

But there’s a striking racial disconnect: White people are more pessimistic than minorities. When the Pew Research Center asked in 2012 whether they expected their children to enjoy a better standard of living, 56 percent of black and Latino respondents said yes, but only 41 percent of whites were optimistic.

How do Democrats plan to get out of the hole they’re in?

Part of the answer is easy: They’ll adopt some version of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s economic populism. They’ll denounce the excesses of Wall Street and demand a better deal for the working class.

That was the very first note Hillary Rodham Clin-

ton sounded last week in Iowa. “The deck is still stacked in favor of those already at the top,” she said.

“There’s something wrong when CEOs make 300 times more than the typical worker. … And there’s something wrong when hedge fund managers pay lower tax rates than nurses.”

But Greenberg has proposed adding another piece to the Democrats’ message: a more serious commitment to both campaign reform and a leaner, more efficient federal government — an updated version of Bill Clinton’s 1996 pledge that the era of big government is over.

He noted that Hillary Clinton also called last week for outlawing campaign spending by undisclosed donors, “even if that takes a constitutional amendment.”

Democrats don’t expect to win a majority of white working-class voters next year — let alone white working-class men. But they’d like to stop their slide. And, of course, Republicans will compete for the same votes. Several potential GOP candidates have decried the stagnation of bluecollar wages — although, like the Democrats, they haven’t offered much yet in the way of detailed remedies.

At least working-class voters will get plenty of rhetorical attention. That won’t solve their problems — but they won’t be able to complain that nobody’s thinking about them anymore.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 21, 1915: years “‘A place for evago erybody to travel IN 1915 and every one traveling in his place,’ is the motto of the city officials and they are making preparation to force every one to obey the traffic regulations in Lawrence. In the past there has been little attention paid to the traffic regulations of the city …”

Rural protections

A better future

Relays tradition

To the editor: Last year we were forced to protect our rural community from a 2008 valueadded agricultural business: conditional use permit (CUP) being issued on a 5-acre parcel in our area. Now, text amendments are threatening our way of life.

Who would have thought this could happen in our county? We agree that this CUP is beneficial for rural residents to develop their own business by canning fruits they have grown or establishing a vineyard for a distillery.

We feel that this particular CUP venture is a loophole for an established Lawrence business to relocate its factory outside the city with no crops grown on the plot.

Our primary concern now is that the text amendment, if approved April 29, would allow corporations to buy any parcel of land that was divided before 2006 and build a 10,000-square-foot commercial factory as long as it can be linked to this CUP. By removing acreage and road frontage, what will make our rural community different from the city?

Residents of rural Douglas County, you are at risk.

Large buildings, parking lots, lagoons and additional traffic will quickly change the quality of our country living and property values. To be clear, we are pro-agriculture. Restrictions are needed to tighten the loophole (acreage, frontage, owner must live on property, etc.). We understand that some updates may be needed due to growth in Douglas County, however removing these is not the answer.

Let’s keep “county” in Douglas County.

To the editor: Earth Day, 45 years later, is a global event now celebrated in over 140 nations. But every day should be Earth Day, and, despite the decades of environmental activism and environmental legislation, the effects of climate warming due to greenhouse gas emissions threatening human society more than ever. On Earth Day, many Americans might ask themselves: What can I do?

One specific step is to ask our elected representatives in Congress to pass legislation placing a fee on carbon-based fuels at the source.

This fee per ton of CO2 emitted could increase each year so that clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuels within a decade. All of the money collected would be reimbursed to American households equitably. The predictably increasing price on carbon will send a clear market signal that motivates investors and entrepreneurs to develop the new clean-energy economy.

A recent econometric study by Regional Economic Models, Inc (REMI) found that a progressive carbon fee and dividend would produce a decline in CO2 emissions of 33 percent after only ten years. More important, national employment would increase by 2.1 million jobs after ten years and the Gross Domestic Product would increase by $70-85 billion from 2020 on.

Despite opposition, the clean-energy economy is growing and a carbon fee will accelerate that change — a change that promises a better future for Americans and the Earth.

Dale Nimz, Lawrence

To the editor: The KU Relays are a unique and wonderful thread in our community’s cultural fabric. It is a fun and relaxed event that is easy and affordable for the whole family. I have no idea how big the economic infusion is of so many out-of-town collegiate and high school teams, but it has to be better than a kick in the head.

Even with this year’s last-minute changes necessitated by rainy weather (this is the Relays after all) it was still a delight. The new Rock Chalk Park does for KU track and field what the Sporting Park stadium did for Sporting KC soccer. It is a world-class facility with a more intimate seating appropriate for track and field.

So many college sports have morphed into something more spectacle than sport. Yet track and field continues to be sport in its most genuine form. Actual student athletes give their all for KU just as their predecessors did in the 1930s, the 1960s or any other decade. That is something to celebrate and enjoy.

For more than 160 years, Lawrence has changed, adapted and evolved.

For 88 of those years, the Relays have done the same. Anyone who goes to the Relays knows that they continue to be an important annual part of what makes Lawrence a special place to call home. Thank you to KU, Coach Redwine and all of the many community volunteers whose efforts help maintain the Relays as such a special event.

Scott Morgan, Lawrence

He called it “incredibly validating” to see them qualify. “These are five young people who’ve worked very hard,” Plinsky said.

Jason Moore, the Free State coach, said he had four other students qualify as first runners-up for the national tournament.

His team has produced nine nationally competing students in his two years as coach.

“I’m very proud of all competitors on my squad,” he said. “I get to watch them work so hard all year long. To see their hard work pay off is a great experience.”

The tournament is hosted by the National Speech and Debate Association. It invites about 3,300 high school students every year to compete for scholarships in 11 main events. The tournament runs June 14-19 this year.

Jeff Plinsky, head coach of the LHS debate team since 2005, said this is the “second or third time” he has had five students qualify for the national competition. It’s the 29th time the school has competed in the tournament, he said.

Migrants dividing Italian island

Residents split on helping, turning away refugees Eric J. Lyman

Special for USA TODAY LAMPEDUSA , ITALY This tiny, picturesque speck in the Mediterranean Sea is the frontline of the growing humanitarian crisis in Europe.

It is where thousands of migrants fleeing chaos in Africa and the Middle East are making the harrowing journey by boat to European soil — or drowning en route — because this is their closest port.

The once-sleepy island is closer to Tunisia than to Sicily.

The mass influx of refugees has divided the town’s 6,000 residents, sometimes within the same family, over whether the island has a duty to help the desperate newcomers or should turn away the arrivals because they have scared off many of the tourists who provide the island’s livelihood.

“Go home! Go! Go! Go!” local youths shouted from a passing car at a half-dozen African refugees gathered on Via Roma, the town’s main drag. The Africans don’t speak

WASHINGTON The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is now off the coast of Yemen to prepare to intercept potential shipments of Iranian weapons to rebels fighting the U.S.-backed government of Yemen, Pentagon officials said Monday.

Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said the carrier and ships supporting the vessel had been in the Persian Gulf. They moved to waters near Yemen because of increased instability there, he said.

The Roosevelt is also tracking a convoy of Iranian ships headed to the Gulf of Aden, said two Defense officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the Iranian vessels. The Iranians have been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The Roosevelt began steaming toward Yemen on Sunday, said a Navy official who was not authorized to speak about the issue

publicly. With the Roosevelt, the Navy now has nine warships off Yemen, the Navy official said. The Navy usually has amphibious ships for landing troops and gear in the region. The Roosevelt “significantly” adds to the Navy’s firepower there.

The Pentagon has been tracking the progress of the Iranian ships since last week, one of the

Defense officials said. The Navy is prepared to intercept the ships.

Moving the Roosevelt is viewed by the Pentagon as significant but not necessarily a prelude to conflict.

If the Iranians are delivering arms and violating United Nations resolutions, it could trigger a confrontation with the Navy, according to a third senior Defense Department official, also speaking on condition of anonymity. It’s too soon to tell if that will happen, that official said.

The Houthis are Shiite Muslims, while the Yemeni government has been dominated by Sunni Muslims. Iran, which is also primarily Shiite, has been backing the Houthis, while Sunni nations, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are supporting the government.

The Navy has intercepted Iranian arms shipments to the terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah in the past, said Michael O’Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution.

“Perhaps we will do it again,” O’Hanlon said. “I’d hardly rule it out.”

Why ‘Mobilegeddon’ matters to you Jefferson Graham USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES If your website traffic plummets suddenly today, blame it on “Mobilegeddon.”

Google, which dominates online search, is launching an algorithm to favor “mobile-friendly” sites. This means those using Google to search on a smartphone may not find many of their favorite sites at the top of the rankings. Sites that haven’t updated could find themselves ranked way lower, which in turn could translate into less business.

Search giant Google, which has a 65% market share of U.S. Internet searches, according to researcher comScore Media Metrix, wants sites to load quickly and be

Google shuffle rewards mobility easy to navigate on a mobile phone.

Google is doing this because it wants consumers to “find content that’s not only relevant and timely, but also easy to read and interact with on smaller mobile screens,” Google said.

The new update will not affect results from desktop searches.

A website ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in a search query could hypothetically fall to ninth or 10th place, independent analyst Greg Sterling says.

Just over half of all searches done on Google are now performed through mobile devices, says Sullivan, a number that continues to grow.

(Sullivan’s website came up with the term “Mobilegeddon” in March, a play on a recent Los Angeles mini-crisis called “Carmeggedon,” when freeways were closed for several weekends.)

Panel alters advice on mammograms for women in 40s Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Women in their 40s who are very concerned about reducing their risk of dying from breast cancer may want to undergo mammograms every other year, even though the tests reduce that risk very slightly and carry substantial risks, a panel of federal health advisers said Monday.

Women ages 50 to 74 should get a mammogram every other year because the benefits of the screenings tend to be greater for older women, who have a higher risk of breast cancer, according to

the panel, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Although the recommendation is nearly identical to advice the task force issued six years ago, the new report goes to greater length to help women make informed choices, says Michael LeFevre, immediate past chairman of the task force. All too often, he says, doctors routinely order mammograms for women at age 40, without any discussion.

Other medical groups advocate more aggressive breast cancer screening. The American Cancer Society, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Ra-

DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

“These recommendations will only add to confusion that is placing women at risk.”

Barbara Monsees of American College of Radiology

diology recommend annual mammograms starting at age 40.

The American College of Radiology, whose members interpret mammograms, says that following the task force’s advice would “result in thousands of additional and unnecessary breast cancer deaths each year.”

The task force “ignored the demonstrated views of American women on screening,” says Barbara Monsees, chair of the radiology college’s breast imaging commission. “These recommendations will only add to confusion that is placing women at risk.”

The task force’s 2009 recommendation ignited a firestorm,

because it overturned the accepted wisdom on early detection.

The task force has never wanted to deny women care but was trying to alert women to the limitations and potential harms of cancer screenings, LeFevre says.

About one in five women diagnosed with breast cancer is treated unnecessarily for a tumor that never would have threatened her life, LeFevre says. Because doctors can’t be certain which breast cancers will prove deadly, they typically recommend treating all of them. “For every breast cancer death we avoid” through screening,” LeFevre says, “two or three will be diagnosed unnecessarily.”

Wisconsin politics a study in polarization Owen Ullmann @OUllmann USA TODAY

MADISON, WIS .

Ever since I lived in this idyllic city between two lakes as a graduate student in the 1970s, I have been fascinated — and perplexed — by Wisconsin’s schizophrenic political personality.

How is it possible for the same state to be the home of Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette, the iconic populist senator and Progressive Party presidential candidate in 1924, and Joe McCarthy, the hard-core conservative senator behind the Communist witch hunts of the 1950s?

Such broad political disparity didn’t stop there. In 1973, civil rights and anti-Vietnam War activist Paul Soglin, a bona fide “radical” at the time, was elected mayor of Madison. He succeeded William Dyke, an ultra-conservative who was segregationist Lester Maddox’s running mate on the American Independent Party’s presidential ticket in 1976. Soglin, incidentally, is mayor again today.

Then there are the current U.S. senators: conservative Republican Ron Johnson and liberal Democrat Tammy Baldwin.

They represent the widest ideological gulf of any state’s senators, according to a 2013 National Journal ranking of voting records. Baldwin, the Senate’s first openly gay member, was listed as the fifth most liberal; Johnson the ninth most conservative.

“Wisconsin defies political trends. It doesn’t swing, it pivots,” observes Rutgers University political science professor Ross Baker. “Any state can spring an occasional political surprise, but Wisconsin makes a habit of it.”

Trying to figure out why is instructive as another native son, Gov. Scott Walker, makes a run for the Republican presidential nomination next year, casting himself as Ronald Reagan’s natural heir.

Indeed, part of Walker’s compelling story line is his ability to win two elections as governor and survive a recall election in a swing state with such a strong liberal tradition. Don’t forget, Wisconsinites repeatedly elected to the U.S. Senate William Proxmire, a liberal and early critic of the Vietnam War who replaced McCarthy af-

ter the Red-baiting senator’s death. And they elected Democrat Russ Feingold, the champion of campaign finance changes until he got knocked off by Johnson in 2010.

Michael Wagner, a political science and journalism professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, agrees that the state’s politics “look pretty schizophrenic to people on the outside — and the inside, too.”

His explanation is that the political polarization that increasingly is gripping Washington existed long before in Wisconsin, although it has become more exacerbated in the past decade. Not only are voters polarized, but they are pretty equally split as Wagner notes, so a small swing vote can decide whether a conservative Republi-

can or liberal Democrat wins.

Like most states, midterm elections favor Republicans because their loyal voters, namely whites, turn out in higher proportions than Democratic voters, in large part minorities who are more likely to show up in presidential years. Wagner notes that Walker and Johnson won their races in midterm election cycles, while Baldwin won in 2012, when President Obama topped the ticket.

Wisconsin is one of the least diverse states in the nation; whites account for 88% of the population. Yet when the electorate is so narrowly divided, that small minority vote — or its absence — can swing an election.

Political scientist Wagner notes that both sides have gotten very good at winning elections.

The loser: consensus politics that serve the greater good.

“Compromise is not possible with such polarization,” he says.

Such a bitter divide means politicians elected to statewide office wind up representing the interests of those that got ’em there, the greater good of the state be damned.

That’s the chilling takeaway for Washington, and it explains why so little has been accomplished in recent years in the nation’s capital. Compromise is a dirty word. It’s all about winning, now.

Italian, but they said they understood the sentiment.

“Why wouldn’t they be mad?

They don’t know us,” said Ahmed Ali, 19, a Somali who arrived in Lampedusa a few days earlier.

“But what are we supposed to do?

I could not stay in Somalia. I would die if I stayed.”

“I am thankful to be safe on land here,” added fellow Somali Hassan Musa-Said, 18. “But I want to move on as soon as they will let me.”

The island is in the spotlight in the wake of a new disaster at sea, where hundreds of migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya this past weekend.

An overburdened former naval base just outside the island’s only town houses the migrants. Its official capacity is 800 but it sometimes houses 3,000.

It is supposed to take Italian authorities two or three days to process the migrants here before sending them to other parts of Italy for a case-by-case evaluation.

But many of the migrants walking the streets of the town during the day report being on the island for two weeks or longer.

Salvatore Maggiore, 80, a retired fisherman passing the time with friends at a coffee bar, worried about the rising numbers overwhelming the island. “I don’t have a problem with any specific people. They’re just looking for a better life,” Maggiore said.

“But you also have to look at it from our perspective,” he said.

“When people turn on the TV news and see these migrants arriving every day, they don’t want to come here for their vacation.

Without tourists, we’re in trouble.”

Maggiore and his friends said the island’s economy was based on fishing until the 1980s, when Spain’s entry into the European Union drove fish prices too low.

Then the island emerged as a tourist spot for middle-class Italians and foreigners. Now that industry is taking a hit.

“This situation makes it hard for people trying to make a living here,” said Damiano Bolino, 79, another retired fisherman at the bar with Maggiore. “We’re suffering here because of the problems

Authorities arrest captain of vessel that capsized William M. Welch and Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The Tunisian captain and a Syrian crewmember of the boat that capsized off the coast of Libya with hundreds of people aboard were arrested in what may be the deadliest migrant tragedy ever, prosecutors in Sicily said Tuesday.

Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Liguori said they were charged with illegal immigration, and the captain was charged with reckless multiple homicide in connection with the sinking, the Associated Press reported.

Both men were arrested aboard the rescue boat that brought 27 survivors to Sicily from the shipwreck, which may have killed 700 to 900 people.

The European Union agreed

Monday to expand its Mediterranean Sea rescue effort to staunch the flood of migrants fleeing to European shores that has resulted in hundreds of deaths.

The EU also will provide more funds for migrant interdiction, seek to catch and destroy smugglers’ ships and devote more resources to process, return and resettle migrants, said EU Home Affairs and Citizenship Commissioner Dmitris Avramopoulous.

His plan puts off dealing with the source of most of the illegal human shipments: chaos arising from a civil war in Libya, the launching point for many of the migrants’ voyages.

On Monday, authorities responded to reports of other migrant ships in distress — two off Libya and a third boat that ran aground near Greece.

in Africa. Is that fair?”

The migrants are not just a problem for Lampedusa. As their numbers grow, Italy and other nations are fighting over what to do with them.

Last year, 170,000 refugees from Africa and the Middle East entered Europe through Italy, according to the United Nations.

And by some estimates, their number may more than triple this year.

Across Italy, protests have been held amid calls to sink the boats before they arrive.

The Italian government required regions to offer to take as many refugees as they could absorb. Several refused to answer, and another offered to take just one.

Earlier this month, 10,000 migrants arrived in a four-day span.

As the weather warms, numbers are sure to rise dramatically.

Police break up groups of migrants or tell them they must return to the processing center, even though rules allow adult migrants out during the day. Police say they are acting to protect local residents and businesses.

“Police are treating all this as if it’s a problem of public order, but it’s a humanitarian crisis,” said attorney Paola La Rosa, 48, a longtime resident. “If we can’t offer a helping hand, who will?”

“The life of the average resident or visitor is not impacted at all by these arrivals,” said Damiano Sferlazzo, Lampedusa’s vicemayor. “We have an obligation to do the best we can to help. But we can still be a tourist center.”

In this handout released by the Italian coast guards (Guardia Costiera), migrants arrive in the port of Lampedusa following a rescue operation off the coast of Sicily on April 5.

Benghazi attack still shadows Clinton GOP points to assault as deficiency in her ability to be president Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans weeks before President Obama’s re-election threatens to dog Hillary Clinton as she wages her own presidential campaign.

One of Clinton’s announced Republican opponents for the White House, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, was quick to raise the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi as a weakness, saying

that as secretary of State at the time, she failed to provide adequate security at the compound.

U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was among those killed in what the White House belatedly labeled a terrorist attack.

Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, Republican chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said he will seek Clinton’s testimony at a hearing. Gowdy said he won’t call on Clinton until he is satisfied she has turned over all relevant emails from a private computer server she used for government business during her tenure at State. Clinton’s attorneys said she already turned over relevant emails, but Gowdy said he wants an independent analysis.

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Clinton’s campaign will face questions about the 2012 attack much as President Obama’s did that fall.

Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said multiple congressional committees have spent millions of dollars on months-

long inquiries “that have turned up nothing” to suggest Clinton did anything wrong.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, ranking Democrat on the Benghazi panel, called Gowdy’s quest a “political charade.”

“Unfortunately, it appears that the Select Committee on Benghazi has now become a taxpayerfunded effort to damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” Cummings told USA TODAY. Gowdy said that if the committee had accepted Clinton’s offer to testify in December, he’d have just eight emails provided at the time. Now, he wants answers about Clinton’s private email server, the existence of which became public as a result of his

In arguing death vs. life in prison, lawyers face many obstacles

Runners cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, a day before a sentencing hearing for one of the bombers begins.

G. Jeffrey MacDonald Special for USA TODAY

BOSTON The mysterious bomber who hid behind a tree before bringing death, carnage and catastrophic suffering to the 2013 Boston Marathon is likely to emerge from the shadows when attorneys for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev plead with a jury to spare his life.

The penalty phase in Tsarnaev’s trial gets underway this morning in Boston’s federal court.

The same jury of seven women and five men who convicted him on all 30 counts must decide his punishment: execution or life in prison with no possibility of parole.

For jurors to let 21-year-old Tsarnaev live, experts say, his attorneys must shed light on his dysfunctional family history, his relationship with his older brother, Tamerlan, and his life as a college student before the bombs exploded.

“The difference from phase one is that in phase two, we’re going to see a robust defense case,” said Mark Pearlstein, a former federal prosecutor in Massachusetts.

Prosecutors will again go first, as they did in the guilt phase of the trial. After opening statements, they will make their case for why aggravating factors, defined in federal statute, outweigh mitigating ones and warrant the death penalty.

The government has convinced the jury of at least one aggravator: The jury found Tsarnaev guilty of causing death while committing

Rosanna Cavallaro, Suffolk University Law School professor

another crime. If the jury agrees with prosecutors that the bombings were heinous and claimed particularly vulnerable victims, then the prosecution will have notched two more aggravating factors in the quest to tip the scales.

Prosecutors face new risks and challenges in this phase, according to Michael Coyne, dean of the Massachusetts School of Law. “They’ve got to be careful that they don’t overuse the same evidence” from the guilt phase, Coyne said. “Where the jury does appear to be emotionally moved by much of the evidence, they have to be careful that the jury

doesn’t feel taken advantage of.”

The defense has at least one mitigating factor that the government can’t dispute: Tsarnaev had no significant criminal history before the marathon attack. His lawyers’ challenge will be to convince jurors that mitigating factors should outweigh all the aggravating ones combined and therefore warrant a life-in-prison sentence.

How to weigh each factor is entirely up to the jury. By law, the judge can give members no guidance on that.

“At the end of the day, the jury goes in the room, closes the door and decides: Should we show mercy or not?” said Suffolk University Law School professor Rosanna Cavallaro.

The defense is not asking the jury to “go easy on Dzhokhar,” according to the closing argument from Tsarnaev’s attorney, Judy Clarke, before the conviction. But prosecutors say that’s exactly what attorneys are asking for every time they say older brother Tamerlan was the driving influence behind the attacks.

Tsarnaev’s team is likely to call witnesses who can give context to his role in the attacks, which left

three people dead and more than 260 injured. The jury found him responsible for the murder of MIT security officer Sean Collier during the manhunt.

Defense witnesses could include mental health professionals who can speak in general terms about sibling dynamics or dysfunctional families. Testimony might come from people who have known Tsarnaev and can say his brother had a domineering effect on him.

“I suspect they’re going to suggest he may have been afraid of his brother,” said Pearlstein, who practices criminal defense law as a partner at McDermott Will & Emery in Boston. They might try to show, for example, that Dzhokhar knew about Tamerlan’s possible involvement in a triple homicide in Waltham, Mass., in 2011. That case is under investigation.

Tsarnaev has the right to testify, but experts doubt he will do so. He has shown no remorse in the courtroom and would surely take a beating on cross-examination.

“We’re a forgiving society,” Coyne said, “but you have to ask to be forgiven, and it has to be sincere.”

IN BRIEF SIX ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF AIDING ISLAMIC STATE

Six men have been arrested on terrorism charges in two states, accused in elaborate attempts to travel to Syria and join the ranks of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, federal authorities said Monday.

The charges were announced

by Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger, who said the group sought to join the terrorist organization for the past 10 months “by any means possible.”

Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, Adnan Farah and Hanad Mustafe Musse, all 19, and Guled Ali Omar, 20, were arrested Sunday in Minneapolis. Abdirahman Yasin Daud and Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, both 21, were arrested the same day in California.

Top Baltimore law enforcement and city officials said Monday they are still uncertain how a man taken into police custody eight days ago suffered a fatal injury to his spine.

committee’s questions, he said.

Republicans say Clinton failed to heed warnings and requests for additional security at the diplomatic outpost in Libya, and the White House downplayed the role of terrorism when it explained the Sept. 11, 2012, attack to the American public days later.

A report issued in January 2014 by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, controlled at the time by Democrats, found inadequate security at the consulate despite multiple warnings.

The bipartisan committee’s report never mentioned Clinton.

The FBI has reviewed the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a Tulsa County volunteer deputy and determined that the sheriff’s department did nothing wrong, Sheriff Stanley Glanz said Monday.

Glanz said the FBI determined that the civil rights of shooting victim Eric Harris, 44, were not violated. The FBI did not immediately return a call for comment.

Glanz also said there is no evidence that any training records for Reserve Deputy Robert Bates were falsified, a contention raised by lawyers for the Harris family.

The department and a lawyer for Bates have released copies of the records.

Additional training records released Saturday do not indicate Bates had qualified on the .357 Smith & Wesson revolver he carried, and the gun — his personal weapon — was not on the approved list of firearms deputies can carry on duty, the Tulsa World reported. — John Bacon

Marijuana enthusiasts gather to make public statement on law Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

The smell of marijuana hung heavy over the city this weekend as partiers began celebrating the “4/20” pot holiday.

April 20 has long been an important date within the marijuana community, and Denver for several years has hosted a massive marijuana festival to mark the day. Marijuana enthusiasts often use the “420” phrase as a signal to others, a code born largely from a community used to operating in secret.

On Monday at 4:20 p.m., thousands of enthusiasts gathered just steps from the Colorado Statehouse to unleash — along with a rousing round of coughs shortly thereafter — a billowing cloud of smoke into the cloudy sky.

Organizers said they hoped the stunt would help keep pushing marijuana into the mainstream by demonstrating the potential political clout marijuana-friendly voters have.

“This is a big day,” said Eddie Miller, chief executive of the cannabis data company InvestInCannabis.com. “It’s definitely a supercharged atmosphere.”

DENVER

TREVOR HUGHES, USA TODAY

People leaving a marijuana festival pass an advertisement for a marijuana-themed dating site that calls itself The Cupids of Cannabis.

Miller’s company uses data to identify investment and partnership opportunities in the marijuana field. Another arm organizes pub crawls and is selling $1 and $2 tickets to Monday’s marijuana pub crawl. Patrons will smoke or “vape” marijuana on rooftop decks during the event.

“It’s really an exciting thing to do — to bring a lot of visitors downtown, to bring them from pub to pub and talk about what’s happening,” Miller said.

Tens of thousands of tourists are in Denver both for the marijuana rally and a nearby Cannabis Cup hosted by High Times magazine, events that gained additional prominence after Colorado legalized recreational marijuana sales and use Jan. 1, 2014.

“This year’s event will feel less like doing something wrong while your parents look the other way, and more like a celebration of how grassroots organizing can effect change,” rally organizers said.

Over the weekend Denver Police cited nearly 200 people, mostly for public consumption, at two-day festival in a park between City Hall and the Colorado Statehouse.

Bridging distance from N.Y. to Cuba Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

Waving a Cuban cigar and speaking a bit of Spanish, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo became the first governor to visit Cuba since the Communist-run island and the United States agreed to restore normal relations.

Cuomo arrived in this capital city Monday for what he called the first stage of his “Global New York” strategy to expand state business opportunities around the world. His 24-hour tour will include meetings with Cuban government officials, a walking tour of Old Havana, a get-together with New York college students studying in Cuba and a meeting with Cardinal Jaime Ortega.

“Isolation has not worked,” Cuomo said at the start of a roundtable discussion, flanked by members of the state assembly and leaders of New Yorkbased companies such as MasterCard, JetBlue and Pfizer.

“Engagement and full relationships is the best way to have a dialogue on the issues that we agree with and on the issues that we disagree about.”

Cuomo told the Cubans that re-establishing relations after more than 50 years, announced

by President Obama in December, was a family affair for the Cuomos. When Congress was tightening the U.S. embargo on the island in the mid-1990s, Cuomo’s father, then-governor Mario Cuomo, was fighting against the move. The elder Cuomo died in January.

“So it’s only fitting that I’m here today ... doing everything we can now that we have the opportunity to finally normal-

More reductions are planned as oil industry struggles Kevin McCoy and Roger Yu USA TODAY

Oil industry layoffs amid a price slump expanded anew Monday as oil field services giant Halliburton said it had cut 9,000 jobs over the past two quarters and planned more reductions.

Saying the speed of the industry downturn has marked a historical high, Houston-based Halliburton said it was respon-

ding to what company president Jeff Miller characterized as an industry-wide “uprecedented decline in North America drilling activity during the first quarter.”

The U.S. rig count has dropped almost 50% from a peak in late November and continues to fall week-to-week, though at a lower rate, Miller told Wall Street analysts in a conference call after Halliburton released its firstquarter results.

“We are continuing to take a hard look at our operations,” Christian Garcia, Halliburton’s acting chief financial officer, told the analysts as he discussed the job cuts and said somewhat smaller additional actions would

Scores of CEOs rode Wall Street’s aging bull market for big windfalls in 2014, a year that’s shaping up as a record for executive compensation.

Among the 100 biggest publicly held companies reporting so far, median CEO pay rose 5% to $14.3 million, and among nearly 25% of Standard & Poor’s 500 companies, median pay climbed 12% to $11.7 million, according to pay tracker Equilar and compensation consultant Towers Watson.

related job cuts had been made public from early December to last week, according to tallies compiled by Continental Resources, the Oklahoma Citybased oil producer. The reductions came from oil exploration and production companies, oilfield services companies and their suppliers.

Halliburton said its first-quarter revenue and earnings fell amid the downturn. The firm reported $418 million in net income from continuing operations, down from $623 million last year. Revenue fell 4% year-over-year to $7.1 billion.

Halliburton’s shares closed up 2.05% at $47.85 Monday.

“I’m astounded when I see numbers like these,” says Michael Pryce-Jones, director of corporate governance at pension fund manager CtW Group.

Six years into a bull market, most company stock prices have recovered losses, while others continue to set new highs. The gains are compounded given that stock options were issued at low strike prices following the financial meltdown that pummeled the broad market. And at many companies, executives who are granted restricted shares simply must stick around long enough before they fully vest.

“How much does stock performance have to do with the CEO, and how much is it just market conditions lifting stocks?” asks longtime corporate governance expert Paul Hodgson.

Clearly, given the growing divide between executive pay and that of rank-and-file workers, more and more corporate boards are reining in paychecks and tying performance metrics to stock and options awards.

“If boards have slapped performance conditions on equity awards, it should make it more difficult to earn all of them,” says Hodgson. “But lots of big option grants were granted without any kind of thought to how much the market was going to recover. All of a sudden, you’ve got lots of CEOs sitting on a massive amount of wealth.”

Retirement also prompted several CEOs to cash in: uFord’s Alan Mulally, who retired last August, gained nearly $76 million from vested shares and cashed in stock options.

That’s on top of compensation valued at $22 million, including $17.8 million in post-retirement benefits. uQualcomm’s Paul Jacobs, who stepped down as chief executive last March, gained $85 million from cashed-in stock options and vested shares. That’s on top of a $45 million restricted stock grant after transitioning to executive chairman.

“likely be required in the second quarter.”

Miller told financial analysts Halliburton normally would have made deeper cuts in its operations during a downturn, but it held off while pushing forward with its planned acquisition of rival Baker Hughes in a $34.6 billion cash and stock deal.

“We want to preserve our underlying service delivery platform,” Miller said. “We know we have best-in-class service delivery, and keeping this platform in peak condition will allow us to realize our transaction synergies post-close.”

USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Worried about your website missing out in mobile search?

You can test it at Google in its developer section.

The “mobile-friendly test” will let you know if your site is up to snuff (“awesome!”) or warn you that it needs work (“not mobile friendly”) at https://wwwgoogle .com/webmasters/tools/mobile -friendly/.

USA TODAY tested many top brands with the tool Monday and came up with many that passed the test — and many that didn’t.

Companies that need to update their sites quickly included restaurant chains California Pizza Kitchen and Coco’s, fashion icon

SOME TIPS FOR GETTING UP TO SPEED:

u Call your local website host. Many have tools in place to transition your website. GoDaddy, the top provider of website addresses and hosting, offers a tool to completely rebuild your website to make it mobile-friendly and charges $1 a month for the service. Competitor Bluehost has a tool that’s less time-consuming and potentially cheaper. For a one-time fee of $25, its goMobi tool builds a smaller, mobile version of your site. uGo to a service like dudamobile for a more robust yet smaller version of your website, starting at $5 a month. uGet in touch with a local webmaster (try Craigslist and other local forums) to farm out the work, which would probably make the mobile site look more like the original main site on a desktop.

Versace, candy manufacturer See’s, the M&M’s brand of candy, and European airline Ryanair, according to Google.

Website TechCrunch found that 44% of the Fortune 500 companies failed the mobile-

friendly test.

Overall, “as many as 40% of top websites are not currently mobile-friendly,” Sterling says.

“There’s a big category of people who have completely ignored mobile.”

So what to do if your website doesn’t pass Google’s mobilefriendly test? If you’re a small business and haven’t gotten it done by today, no need to panic, Sterling says.

Most local businesses are found these days not via their website but through directory services like Yelp and Google’s local search listings.

“You typically go to Google and look up car repair, for instance,” Sterling says. “The local listings show up first, not usually the website.”

So his advice to the small business owner is to make sure all your local information is up to date in Yelp and on Google’s MyBusiness section.

“They still need to update their website, but this buys them time.”

Under Armour stock has been performing as if it is protected by a shield of armor. It hit a fresh 52week high of $87.76 Monday ahead of today’s earnings report and is now up nearly 30% for the year and almost 100% above its 52-week low last May. With that kind of stock performance, the maker of athletic wear and fitness technology has to deliver good news on the earnings front if the stock will continue to run.

Like a Nerf football, Hasbro soars ahead Q: Is Hasbro the best game in town?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hasbro showed Monday that it’s the toy company to beat. Even as its primary rival, Mattel, struggles, Hasbro is flourishing. But the stock is running ahead so fast, investors need to be mindful of the risks.

Risk was ignored Monday. Shares of Hasbro shot up $8.27, or 12.6%, to $74.16 after the company blew away quarterly earnings forecasts. The company earned an adjusted profit of 21 cents a share, beating earnings estimates by 163%, says S&P Capital IQ. The company has done a strong job extending its existing brands into new products, including in the Nerf line. But it also has won toy rights to top franchises including Disney’s Frozen, Marvel, Star Wars and Transformers. Shares are up an impressive 35% this year already — but that’s the problem.

Analysts like the stock, rating it an average of “outperform.” But given the stock’s run, analysts will need to recalculate their target to see if they’ve been too cautious.

So far, analysts think the stock is worth $65.78 in 18 months, which is below the current level. Investors must know the stock is no longer cheaper than the market, trading for 23 times trailing earnings. For the stock to keep working, earnings this year will need to grow faster than the 4% now expected.

Kraft Mac & Cheese: Buh-bye, yellow dye Will dump synthetic colors in January Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, a staple of kids nationwide, may seem to glow a bit less beginning early next year.

Kraft Foods Group announced Monday that Original Kraft Macaroni & Cheese sold in the United States will be made without artificial preservatives or synthetic

colors starting in January. Kraft says it will replace synthetic colors — including Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 — with colors derived from natural sources such as paprika, annatto and turmeric.

The move comes as some of the biggest names in food have been responding to consumer pressure to simplify ingredients on food labels and on menus. Big names — from Nestlé to Hershey to Frito-Lay — all have announced steps to remove artificial dyes from products.

The move also follows intense pressure on Kraft from activists,

particularly a petition the move was unrelated led by food blogger Vato the pressure from acni Hari, who goes by tivists.

Hari said she hopes Kraft continues to remove artificial food dyes from its entire products line, including from all Jell-O and Kool-Aid. Meanwhile, Kraft says its Mac & Cheese sold in the U.S. will look and taste the same.

“Our loyal fans told us they don’t want their Kraft Mac & Cheese to look or taste different,” Galia said. “We’ve worked hard so the new recipe will have the same look and taste people know and love from the iconic blue box.”

BEHIND ON HER COMEDY SERIES, SHE DOES A BOOTY DANCE THROUGH SOCIAL MORES

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY ‘HIGH MAINTENANCE’ FANS HBO has ordered six new episodes of the stoner comedy Web series. Created by husband and wife duo Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair, the series follows “the Guy,” a Brooklyn-based pot deliveryman, and his range of absurd customers.

Give her a crowd, and Amy Schumer lets it rip.

She’ll talk about blackouts.

One-night stands. Her appearance, which she says is not hot enough for Hollywood. And on the new season of Inside Amy Schumer, her Comedy Central sketch series, she opens with a booty dance that mocks society’s obsession with the posterior.

In person, Schumer is self-contained, circumspect and superwatchful. But on stage, “I play it a lot of different ways,” she says.

“Sometimes I’m a total victim. I would say that the way I’m different from my stand-up character is that I’m not as sexually active as (she is). Not because I have any judgments about that. But things have been slow. I’m busy. I’m pretty quiet, you know. I’m not a mouthy broad. I’m pretty reasonable, and a little bit of an introvert.”

Sitting in her makeup trailer while shooting the third season of her show, the comedian — who also headlines this summer’s feature film Trainwreck, which she wrote — has no intention of ditching the series that made her famous. She’s satisfied with the new episodes, and she says she has carte blanche to be as raunchy as she wants.

wanted to make. It’s really, really strong, ballsy. It’s funny. Zero apologies. We took a lot of risks.

I’m excited about people seeing it.

“I just worry about what I think is funny. That usually takes care of it. I worry about my sensibilities.”

In tonight’s opener, her ode to butts (“all the guys love my fudge machine”) features Amber Rose.

And Josh Charles pops up (again) in a spoof of Friday Night Lights as a wise coach who faces a backlash after instituting a no-rape decree.

Schumer “can’t imagine ever not wanting to do the show.”

Maybe it’s because she works with some of her closest friends, including co-star Kevin Kane and her sister, Kim. Schumer is “one of the most loyal people I know,” Kane says.

“People know her as a stand-up comic, but I know her a serious actress. The questions she has, and the flaws she fears in herself, those are the things on her mind.

She puts them out in a honest and fearless way.”

Those who work with Schumer say she’s tireless and intensely focused. But ask her about her career, and Schumer shrugs her shoulders.

“I don’t think that way. I have no goals. I have no idea what I want to do,” she says. “I love doing my TV show. I love doing stand-up. I’d like to do more movies.”

ALI GOLDSTEIN, COMEDY CENTRAL

For Amber Rose and Amy Schumer, actions speak louder than words on the Season 3 opener of Inside Amy Schumer.

I’m pretty quiet, you know. I’m not a mouthy broad.

I’m pretty reasonable, and a little bit of an introvert.”

INSIDE AMY SCHUMER COMEDY CENTRAL, TONIGHT, 10:30 ET/PT

Co-creator and producer Daniel Powell says the Schumer you see reflects reality — in a heightened sort of way. She doesn’t let haters, including one who accosted her in the midst of filming, get her down.

“We were shooting and he was heckling her from afar, telling her she’s not funny. Amy was not fazed in the slightest,” Powell says. “She just kept doing her job.

Afterward, she said, ‘I have insecurities like the next person, but the idea that I’m not funny is not one of them.’ ”

Toni Morrison is 84, about six decades older than Lula Ann Bridewell, the central character of her pained, urgent new novella, God Help the Child.

What has changed BOOK REVIEW for black women during those 60 years?

Everything, the book suggests; nothing, too.

James Baldwin once said that when he was young, “the world was white … now it is struggling to remain white — a very different thing.”

As Lula Ann’s story begins, she’s evidence of that distinction, living a life probably unavailable to black women of Morrison’s generation, with a powerful job at a cosmetics company and luxurious objects all around her.

She also has a feeling of shame

GOD HELP THE CHILD Toni Morrison Knopf

eeeg 178 pp.

that none of those attainments can remedy. It comes from being dark-skinned, “midnight black,” and as a child, despite her beauty, always therefore disgusting to her lighter-skinned mother. “I used to pray she would slap my face or

spank me just to feel her touch,” Lula Ann says.

God Help the Child is the tale of Lula Ann’s halting rebirth from this shame. It takes the shape of a fable: she departs her life and goes in search of Booker, an enigmatic former boyfriend, and on her half-mythic journey begins to physically regress toward childhood, her breasts getting smaller, the hair disappearing from her body, her earring holes closing.

It’s a lovely effect, reminiscent of the passage of time in John Cheever’s great story “The Swimmer.” Can other characters see Lula Ann’s transformation? By the end of this brief and beautiful book, we don’t know precisely whether the change was real or imagined; nor does it matter,

because the accident of skin color and the penalties that can come with it aren’t “real,” either.

Morrison also has a secondary theme, the sexual abuse of children, though it’s sketchier and less successful than her handling of race. Nearly every character has a close run-in with a molester — another magical effect, I wondered, showing how pervasive predators can seem after you’ve met just one, or melodrama?

In all, though, God Save the Child is superb, its story gliding along the tracks of Morrison’s utterly assured prose.

It’s to this Nobel laureate’s credit that so late in life she’s still looking outward, tracking what a woman like herself might feel, if she were born in 1992: a great novelist, with time left to say a few more prayers for her innumerable descendants.

Charles Finch is author of “The Last Enchantments.”

EVEN IN CLOUDY WEATHER, EXPOSURE TO THE SUN CAN DAMAGE YOUR SKIN. One of the best ways to prevent damage is to get into the habit of applying a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every day.

he best time to put on sunscreen? Now. The cool, rainy days of late April have us lulled into the sense that summer is far away. But it doesn’t have to be summer for the sun’s rays to damage skin.

MELANOMA SIGNS — SIMPLE AS ‘ABCDE’

New melanoma treatment doubles up on drugs The Associated Press

Philadelphia — Giving patients with advanced melanoma two Bristol-Myers drugs that work differently held the deadly skin cancer at bay far longer than just

one, though the combination’s considerable increase in serious side effects raises concerns about how much patients can endure.

A study of 142 patients not treated previously found combining Yervoy and Opdivo, which

mobilize the body’s immune system to target cancer cells, greatly boosted survival over giving Yervoy alone.

The company said the combo also was better than Opdivo alone, based on a prior study.

In the midstage

study, presented Monday at the American Association for Cancer Research conference in Philadelphia, tumors were eliminated in 22 percent of those getting both medicines but in none receiving only Yervoy.

Yervoy and Opdivo together reduced chances of death or cancer progressing by 60 percent, compared to Yervoy alone. In the Yervoy-only group, death or worsening of Please see DRUGS, page 2C

LMH welcomes new staffers in Lawrence, Eudora

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Recruitment of qualified physicians and health care providers to serve the community’s medical needs well into the future is a primary focus of Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

This past month LMH expanded its commitment to the Eudora community with the addition of three

new providers. Dr. Joseph Hawkins, Dr. Maribeth Orr and Nurse Practitioner Lorelei Witt joined Dr. Elizabeth Stamper at the Eudora Family Care practice. This week LMH and Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates welcome Dr. Leo Martinez, an ear, nose and throat specialist.

LMH is actively engaged in monitoring the number of physicians and

mid-level health care providers serving the community and works closely with hospital-employed physicians and private physician practices to assist with recruiting efforts. According to in-

dustry benchmarks based on population, the community is particularly in need of primary care providers — the recruitment goal through 2017 is three additional family practice and six more internal medicine physicians.

Attracting and retaining outstanding physicians is good for the community on many levels. Besides increasing

the capacity to diagnose and treat more people in a timely manner, the addition of new physicians contributes to the economic development of the community. New physicians mean the creation of more jobs as additional nursing and support staff are needed.

Wes: If you’ve read Double Take or listened to my media appearances, you know I try to stay ahead of teen and young adult dating trends. I often feel like that cartoon character you see hanging on to the bumper of a car (airplane, spacecraft, etc.) twisting back and forth, nearly thrown off at every turn.

Most parents of teens understand that feeling all too well.

When it comes to dating practice, we seem always to be falling back from one position to the next. Once, we imagined sex might be saved for marriage, though research indicates this was never a popular practice.

Most of my career I’ve pushed the idea that sex should at least be within an identifiable relationship, however you define it. Today, I feel like I’m guiding a horse and buggy down the wrong lane on a freeway full of self-driving cars.

Time to fall back again.

Perhaps the saddest casualty in this revolution of human mating is The Date. Young people needn’t go back to formal courting, but they might actually try going somewhere and maybe have an adventure, or sit and look into each other’s eyes and care nothing about the rest of the world (read: smartphones), or hold hands in a theater. Or look at the stars.

The Date served a far greater purpose than romantic foreplay. It gave kids a chance to get to know each other; to see how they fit together in the real world; and to have others see them as a couple. Instead, we have a culture of half-hearted hangouts and hookups, along with a profound distrust of the dreaded “RELATIONSHIP.” I’ve been trying something this year with Please see DATING, page 3C

SUN SAFETY TIPS “It’s important to get people indoctrinated early on to using sunscreen, because it’s estimated a person will get 80 percent of their lifetime sun exposure in the first 18 years of life.”

For example, Bittenbender said, anyone applying a sunscreen should use a minimum SPF of 30. And a bottle of SPF 30 sunscreen is likely tested at a standardized concentration of about 2 milligrams per square centimeter of skin.

“That doesn’t mean anything to anybody,” Bittenbender said, “but the point is studies show that people put on about a third of what they need to get the right protection.”

So if you’re applying sunscreen to your body before going outdoors, you should use at least an ounce, he said, “which is about shot-glass size.”

— Lee Bittenbender, Lawrence dermatologist

For anyone who doesn’t like the feel of a lotion-style sunscreen, a gel might be a better option and one that the user can tolerate.

“I tell a lot of guys they may prefer a gel because they tend to be clear, they tend to not leave a sticky lotion-y feel,” Bittenbender said. “If a guy’s trying to apply sunscreen to his hairy arms, he doesn’t want to try to rub in a cream. A gel might work better.”

Bittenbender says parents should get children into the sunscreen habit early.

Here are some tips for staying safe in the sun, no matter the season, from the American Academy of Dermatology: l Try to avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest. l Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. l Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days. l Wear protective, tightly woven clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt and pants. l Wear a 4-inch-wide broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses, even when walking short distances. l Stay in the shade whenever possible. l Avoid reflective surfaces, which can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun’s damaging rays. l Protect children by keeping them out of the sun, minimizing sun exposure and applying sunscreens beginning at 6 months of age. l If you see a change in the size, shape or appearance of a mole, see a dermatologist.

convinced patients need to take two such potent cancer drugs simultaneously. She noted results of other research, expected to be released in the near future, may clarify what’s best.

There’s one school of thought that doctors should fire both guns at once, because Yervoy and Opdivo helped mobilize the immune system to fight cancer in

age spots. A new treatment, micro-needling, helps not only sun damage but other cosmetic issues like acne scarring.

Thompson recommends using sunscreen in places you would normally skip to prevent sun damage.

“Put sunscreen on your neck and on the backs of your hands,” she said.

And avoid tanning beds: Opt for self-tanning lotions instead.

“There are several selftanners that do a good job and give you some color,” she said.

Bittenbender made it clear he wasn’t discouraging being outdoors. “I don’t want to be on a rant on this,” he sad.

“I don’t want to seem overly restrictive or for people to have a sun phobia. There are wonderful things to do outside, so go do them, just use common sense.”

different ways. Others favor giving Yervoy and Opdivo sequentially.

A key factor in doctors’ decisions likely will be whether the patient can withstand the side effects of both drugs.

Yervoy costs about $131,000 for a full course of four treatments. Opdivo, which was given as long as patients benefited, costs about $12,500 per month.

Hunters: Take precautions to protect your hearing

By Rich Landers Associated Press

Spokane, Wash. — While most shooters would never walk onto an active gun range without ear plugs or muffs in place, hunters who use firearms tend to neglect precautions to protect their hearing.

In the heat of the hunt, it doesn’t seem to matter.

Yet every shot at a bird, deer or elk erodes one of our most valuable hunting assets.

“Shooter’s ear — we see it every day in our business,” said Lance Kraemer of Starkey Hearing Technologies, a manufacturer of hearing aids and electronic hearing protection.

“Every day we hear from hunters who wish they’d been clued in on hearing protection at a younger age.”

Procrastination used to be understandable.

Ear plugs may prevent a hunter from hearing the wing beat of a flushing pheasant or the snap of a stick that might indicate a deer is approaching.

But technology has erased the shortcomings of the standard ear plug.

Excuses for neglecting hearing protection in the field are obsolete.

A single gunshot, rated at about 140dB, can cause permanent hearing damage, according to government guidelines. Maybe it’s just a little at a time, but the damage adds up hunt after hunt.

Inexpensive ear plugs with noise-suppressing mechanical baffles ($10$15) are a viable alternative for any budget.

newer dating apps geared toward a younger hookup culture have emerged over the last few years, Tinder being the most prominent.

Some parents who met the “old-fashioned way” before the Internet made electronic dating practical, may see this new wave of swiping thumbs left and right as less authentic than scanning people at a party for an attractive individual to talk with face-to-face.

However, for a generation that spends most of its free time on Twitter and Instagram, it only makes sense dating would eventually shift this direction.

Online dating increases the opportunity to find likeminded partners looking for the same kind of relationship — from hook-ups to marriage. That makes settling for less than one wants or deserves unnecessary.

It also makes getting to know someone safer and more efficient, as app users are under no obligation to continue a conversation if it’s going poorly or gets uncomfortable.

Challenge awaits new KU women’s coach

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Sue Ogrocki/AP Photo

THEN-STEPHEN F. AUSTIN COACH BRANDON SCHNEIDER GESTURES during the first half of SFA’s game against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., in this file photo from Dec. 8, 2010. Schneider was named Kansas University’s women’s coach Monday.

Volquez pitches Royals past Twins Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Edinson Volquez is quickly proving his breakthrough season of a year ago was no fluke.

The Royals right-hander held down the Twins for seven innings Monday night, and Kansas City’s opportunistic offense took advantage of a series of Minnesota miscues in a 7-1 victory.

“It feels good because the way I’m pitching, I’m carrying over everything,” said Volquez, who went 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA for Pittsburgh.

“Just trying to do what I did last year.”

Royals manager Ned Yost said that pitching coach Dave Eiland has been working on mechanics with Volquez (2-1) that have allowed him to pitch even better than he did with the Pirates. He only allowed five hits and a walk while striking out five against Minnesota.

“We’ve been talking about him since he first got here,” Yost said. “We felt last year was a big year for him. He really turned the corner with his mechanics on some things.”

Alcides Escobar returned from a sprained knee to score a run Monday night, and Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando drove in a pair each as the Royals finally figured out Kyle Gibson.

Brandon Schneider, new women’s basketball coach at Kansas University, will be introduced to the program’s small fan base via a 10 a.m. news conference today.

The session with the media will offer the first clues as to whether Schneider has what it takes to bring relevance to a program dwarfed by the perennial-powerhouse men’s basketball team.

It’s not an easy challenge Schneider has accepted after heading Div. II Emporia State for 12 seasons before

leaving to coach Southland Conference member Stephen F. Austin for the past five seasons. His team won the past two regular-season conference titles. His top career accomplishment came in his last season at Emporia State when he won the 2010 Div. II national title.

Schneider has not yet coached in an NCAA Div. I tournament game but did lead his team to the title game of the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational, a tournament for schools that didn’t earn invitations to the WNIT. The Ladyjacks went 23-8 overall this sea-

son. They went 16-2 in the Southland before losing in the semifinals of the conference tournament and then getting bounced by Big 12 school TCU in the opening round of the WNIT. In order to stimulate a stagnant fan base, Schneider will need to post winning records in Big 12 play, promote the program via community outreach, maximizing media opportunities and somehow motivating a student body that largely has ignored the program to come to games.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY RECEIVER RODRIGUEZ COLEMAN, SECOND FROM RIGHT, TAKES OFF down the field as he is covered by Kansas cornerback Matthew Boateng during spring practice on March 24 at the KU practice fields.

Wideout corps unknown for now

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The 2015 Kansas University wide receivers are a pretty anonymous group. And position coach Klint Kubiak expects it to stay that way.

At least for a while.

See, Kubiak, who played college football at Colorado State, spent some time in the Washington Redskins’ training camp and grew up with a former quarterback and NFL coach for a father, always

has subscribed to the simple philosophy that says players earn their notoriety.

So rather than talk about how this guy has looked or that guy has progressed during KU’s spring practices, Kubiak talked about the group as a whole and pointed to the ways it still needed to get better.

“I’d love to sit here and be coaching three guys that are coming back from 80-catch seasons,” Kubiak said. “We don’t have that. The good thing is, we’ve got guys with

really good mind-sets who have a passion to get better and a passion for the University of Kansas. They’re so eager to learn and eager to improve.”

Just six Jayhawks who caught a pass in 2014 return to the KU roster this fall. And only three of those are wide receivers. The other three are tight end Ben Johnson (8 receptions a year ago), running back De’Andre Mann (8) and quarterback Montell Cozart (1).

That leaves seniors Tre’ Parmalee (4) and Rodriguez Coleman (3) and sophomore Darious Crawley (1) as the only wideouts wearing blue who have caught a pass in a game for Kansas.

For an offense that could use as many as 8-10 receivers on a regular basis, that fact creates concern and excitement inside the KU locker room.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

Boston (ap) — Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia and Caroline Rotich of Kenya won the men’s and women’s divisions, respectively, Monday at the 119th Boston Marathon, two years after a deadly terrorist bombing at the event’s finish line.

Desisa, who also won the tragic 2013 race, posted a time of 2:09:17. He was followed by Yemane Adhane Tsegay, also of Ethiopia.

“I am happy to win and for a strong Boston 2013,” Desisa said after crossing the finish line Monday.

He later returned his 2013 winning medal to the city of Boston in tribute to the three victims and hundreds who were injured in the blast.

Saunders appointed himself last summer to succeed Rick Adelman. Thanks to a rash of injuries and a shift to more of a youth movement, the Wolves went an NBA-worst 16-66.

As the season wound down, Saunders said he was leaning toward returning for another season. In giving his state of the team address on Monday, he gave no indication those views have changed.

Bulls 91, Bucks 82 Chicago — There’s an enduring image from the 2011 Eastern Conference finals, the last Bulls’ playoff run that Derrick Rose successfully navigated at full health.

It’s of then-Heat forward LeBron James switching onto Rose late in games and, more often than not, smothering the recently crowned most valuable player and suffocating the Bulls’ offense.

If the Bulls advance to their likely second-round matchup with James’ Cavaliers, taking another step Monday night with a 91-82 victory over the Bucks at the United Center, who knows if James will reprise his role.

are no restrictions in the playoffs.

In franchise history, the Bulls are 23-1 in series when they win the first two games.

Following the Game 1 defeat, Bucks coach Jason Kidd had lamented the “fool’s gold” his team had produced by getting into an early shootout, citing his team’s defensive strength.

Kidd got the pace he wanted, leading 16-11 after one quarter and trailing 39-38 at halftime.

Two skirmishes, one in the second and one in the fourth quarters, produced three sets of double technical fouls, indicative of the physicality.

No campaign Don’t expect Jabari Parker to promote his return. Unlike Rose, the Bulls’ star and fellow product of Chicago’s Simeon Career Academy, he has no plans to advertise his recovery as he works his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

“I’m not gonna Tweet about it,” Parker said. “I’m not gonna Instagram it. What is mostly important is I act on it. I can’t say anything. I just have to do it.”

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday night in New Orleans.

Davis had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Gordon scored 23 points for the Pelicans, who played with more poise and passion against than they did in the series opener.

In the end, the Warriors were just better when it mattered most.

On smaller stages, he won on a regular basis, going 306-72 at Emporia State and 95-66 at Stephen F. Austin, located in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Schneider tweeted for the first time as a Kansas coach (@CoachBrandonKU) Monday night: “So honored to be part of the Jayhawk Family! It’ll be a tremendous challenge, but I’m excited for the opportunity!!!”

The son of former Div. II women’s basketball coach Bob Schneider, Brandon Schneider is from Canyon, Texas. He and wife, Ali, have two young sons, Cash and Cole.

He replaces Bonnie Henrickson, who sold

her Lawrence home within days after putting it on the market and has expressed interest in coaching vacancies at Utah and UC Santa Barbara. Kansas paid Henrickson a $395,000 buyout after firing her March 9. In her 11 seasons at Kansas, Henrickson coached the Jayhawks to two NCAA tournaments and reached the Sweet 16 both times. She did not post a winning record in any Big 12 regular season.

Breaking even, or even coming close in many cases, in the competitive Big 12 generally means a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger banked on several members of the department during the search, but the choice was his.

He is known as a terrific recruiter and a firm, knowledgeable coach. And we know he has coaching in his blood, having watched his dad have so much success for so many years.

prospects Jeremiah Booker, Emmanuel Moore and Steven Sims — and they, too, will get their chance to claim a spot in KU’s rotation.

“Play-makers set themselves up,” Kubiak said.

“So if there are anonymous guys (this fall), it’s probably because they’re not good enough. Those guys that go in, they better not be anonymous when they’re in the game.

They better be a force.”

That last part has multiple meanings. Sure, Kubiak would love to see his guys throw up triple-digit yardage days and lead the Jayhawks in touchdowns.

But in order to do that, he says they have to start by developing toughness on the practice field. Last winter, Kubiak said he wanted his receivers to be the toughest unit on the team. Asked recently how that was going, the first-year receivers coach was honest.

“It’s a work in progress,” he said. “We talk every day about that, and we are still yet to prove it, and that’s a big challenge for us. But I love that they’re working toward it.”

faced them. Gibson (1-2) was dominant last week in a 3-1 victory at Target Field.

“Gibby didn’t have his best command, four walks and a couple of wild pitches,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. “He was struggling with his feel for off-speed pitches. His last start he had a good slider and changeup. Tonight he had to battle with his fastball.

“He didn’t give up a lot of hits, but had a lot of base runners with the base on balls.”

Gibson also didn’t have the kind of defense that Kansas City has behind him.

After first baseman Eric Hosmer threw the ball away trying to start a double play in the second inning — helping to contribute to Minnesota’s only run — he was on the receiving end of a double-play relay to end the threat. Alex Gordon also made a diving catch in left field, and Mike Moustakas made a couple of difficult plays at third base look routine.

The Royals left the bases loaded against Gibson in the second, but they evened the score in the third. Escobar doubled to lead off the inning, went to third on Moustakas’s groundout, then trotted home easily when Gibson’s pitch in the dirt got away from catcher Kurt Suzuki.

The score remained deadlocked until the sixth, when the Twins’ Oswaldo Arcia dropped a slicing liner from Moustakas in left field. Hosmer worked a full-count walk, and Morales hit a double down the left-field line to give Kansas City its first lead of the game.

Hosmer scored moments later on a wild pitch by reliever Blaine Boyer, and Perez added a sacrifice fly to make it 4-1 through six innings.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Happy Patriots’ Day ————

Red Sox beat Baltimore in holiday game The Associated Press

American League Red Sox 7, Orioles 1, 61⁄2 innings, rain Boston — Justin Masterson benefited from five unearned runs, and Boston beat Baltimore Monday in a soggy Patriots’ Day game shortened by rain to 61⁄2 innings.

The first pitch was thrown at 11:04 a.m. under cloudy skies on the Massachusetts holiday after Boston Marathon runners already were on the course that passes close

by Fenway Park. Rain began falling steadily in the fourth and intensified, and the game was called after a 1-hour, 42-minute wait.

With the score tied at 1, Boston scored four runs in the third when WeiYin Chen (0-1) walked four and made an error, and third baseman Manny Machado committed another error.

“The errors kind of gift-wrapped or built into the four-run inning, along with some bases on balls,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “At this level, you give extra outs, you’re asking for trouble.”

Masterson (2-0) allowed one run, three hits and three walks in five innings with six strikeouts.

Chen (0-1) gave up three hits and five walks after getting the win in Baltimore’s 7-6 victory at Fenway last year on Patriots’ Day, which commemorates the first battles of the Revolutionary War. Baltimore Boston ab r h bi

Tigers 2, Yankees 1 Detroit — J.D. Martinez and Yoenis Cespedes hit consecutive RBI singles in the seventh inning, and Joba Chamberlain got Jacoby Ellsbury to hit into a crucial double play in the eighth, helping Detroit to a victory over the Yankees.

CC Sabathia (0-3) faced the minimum number of hitters through the first six innings, but with two out and a man on second in the seventh, the Yankees intentionally walked Victor Martinez.

J.D. Martinez followed with a sharp single that shortstop Didi Gregorius was unable to keep in the infield, and Cespedes’ single scored Martinez.

The Yankees had men on first and third with one out in the eighth when Chamberlain relieved Alfredo Simon (3-0). Ellsbury’s hard grounder went right to second baseman Ian Kinsler, and the double play ended the threat.

David Robertson (1-0) worked a perfect ninth for his first win with the White Sox. Allen (0-2) recorded just one out in his first blown save in four chances.

Trevor Bauer pitched seven sparkling innings for Cleveland, which has dropped seven of nine.

The Indians’ Ryan Raburn and Brett Hayes homered, and Michael Brantley had an RBI double.

Cubs 5, Pirates 2 Pittsburgh — Kris Bryant turned his tiebreaking two-run double into a Little League homer with some heads-up base-running, and the star rookie had three hits and three RBIs night to lead the Cubs to a victory over Pittsburgh.

Bryant’s double off the base of the leftcenter-field fence in the seventh inning snapped a 1-all tie.

He advanced to third base on the throw home, and he raced across the plate when catcher Francisco Cervelli missed the throw for an error.

Bryant, who tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth, is 6-for-14 (.429) with four RBIs in four games since his much-anticipated call-up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday. He was a springtraining sensation, hitting nine home runs in 40 atbats for the Cubs.

Reds 6, Brewers 1 Milwaukee — Anthony Desclafani pitched eight shutout innings, and Zach Cozart and Joey Votto homered as Cincinnati beat Milwaukee.

Desclafani (2-0) held Milwaukee hitless until Adam Lind’s double with two outs in the fourth.

Hector Gomez’s fifthinning single was the only other hit off Desclafani, who struck out five and ran his scoreless innings streak to 15.

Desclafani and Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta (0-2) were locked in a scoreless battle through five innings.

The Reds got to Peralta in the sixth.

Brayan Pena drove in the game’s first run with a sacrifice fly, and Cozart followed with a three-run homer.

Votto added a two-run homer in the seventh off Peralta, who allowed six runs and eight hits over seven innings.

Ryan Braun homered with one out in the ninth for the Brewers.

Padres 14, Rockies 3 Denver — Matt Kemp had three hits and four RBIs, and San Diego scored nine runs in the first two innings of a rout of Colorado.

Derek Norris had three of San Diego’s 17 hits, Will Venable homered, and Odrisamer Despaigne got his first major-league hit to help the Padres win for the fifth time in six games.
