Drug offenses at KU go up 65 percent

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Drug offenses went up 65 percent last year at Kansas University, according to annual crime statistics the university released Wednesday.

There were 177 drug offenses reported on campus in 2014, compared with 107 in 2013, according to the numbers.

KU police don’t think there are drastically more drugs on campus, but rather that stepping up drug education and enforcement efforts in resi-

Capt. James Anguiano with KU Office of Public Safety says the majority of the reported drug offenses involve marijuana in residence halls.

Stepping up drug education and enforcement efforts has led to increased reporting. dence halls is paying off.

The KU Office of Public Safety now trains student housing employees to recognize illegal activity and identify drugs, said Capt. James Anguiano. He said obtaining

search warrants also has contributed to the increase, as has patrolling parking lots.

The majority of the reported drug offenses involve marijuana in residence halls, Anguiano said.

It’s often easy to spot.

“The policy is you can’t smoke anything in the residence halls,” he said. “So when RAs, the complex director or even other residents smell an odor coming from a room, that leads to an investigation.”

Anguiano said most cases involve smaller quantities of marijuana or paraphernalia, but there also are cases involving larger quantities suspected of being sold to others.

In addition to typical marijuana, police also have noticed

Crime report Annual crime statistics for Kansas University show: 832 overall crimes reported in 2014, compared with 661 in 2013: up 26 percent 177 drug offenses reported in 2014, compared with 107 in 2013: up 65 percent Violent crime (murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) remained at about 1 percent of all offenses reported.

Convention and Visitors Bureau Officials report fewer earthquakes to be known as Explore Lawrence in Kansas but can’t yet say why

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Get ready to Explore Lawrence.

The Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau plans to abandon its longtime name and instead become known as Explore Lawrence, the interim director that is overseeing the agency has confirmed.

Megan Gilliland, the city of Lawrence’s communications manager and the interim director for the nonprofit group that oversees the CVB, said the idea of a convention and visitors bureau can sometimes be hard for the average traveler to understand.

“Explore Lawrence is an action-oriented phrase,”

Agency says old name can be hard to understand; new one is action-oriented The biggest change as part of the new name will be a new website that will be completely redesigned. The website will focus on making it easy for visitors and residents alike to find events and attractions in Lawrence and Douglas County.

Inc. — the umbrella group that manages both the CVB and the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area — since February. Gilliland said previous director Fred Conboy submitted his resignation in February. She said she’s been focusing on keeping major projects, like the rebranding of the CVB, moving ahead.

BRIEFLY Ex-senator to get honorary degree Manhattan — Former U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker is receiving an honorary doctorate degree from Kansas State University.

The university announced Wednesday the degree will be awarded May 15 during the Graduate School’s commencement ceremony in Bramlage Coliseum. She’s also delivering the commencement speech.

University president Kirk Schulz says the nearly two decades Kassebaum Baker spent in the Senate are “evidence of her dedication to service and diplomacy.” Kassebaum Baker graduated from Kansas University in 1954.

Her ties to KSU date from 1966 when the Landon Lecture Series on Public Issues was inaugurated as a tribute to her father, former Kansas Gov. Alfred Landon. Her four children are Wildcats and graduated in the 1980s.

Kassebaum Baker lives on her farm in Morris County.

Repeat bank robber headed to prison Wichita — A Wichita man is going back to prison for robbing the same bank he held up eight years ago.

The U.S. attorney’s office says in a news release that 52-year-old Mark Finnigin was sentenced Wednesday to 63 months after pleading guilty during the same hearing to robbing Emprise Bank on July 22, 2014.

Prosecutors say he entered the bank and demanded $10,000. Before the clerk could finish putting the cash on the counter, he took $4,000 and fled. A surveillance camera at a nearby store recorded him getting into a minivan.

This is the same bank Finnigin robbed in 2007.

Police search for Wichita robbers Wichita — The search continues for two men who kidnapped a rural Wichita man from his home and took him to a local business where the thieves stole roughly $175,000 worth of property.

Two armed men wearing ski masks entered the man’s home just east of Wichita around 3 a.m. Tuesday and robbed him and his wife.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office says the suspects then took the 72-yearold man to Heartland Coin Gallery, which he owns, and took cash, coins, jewelry and seven guns before fleeing in the man’s car.

more alternative forms of the drug such as edibles, waxes and oils, Anguiano said. They also find illegal prescription drugs, often during a search.

“The drug world’s always an evolving world,” Anguiano said.

Overall, 832 crimes were reported on the KU campus in 2014, according to the numbers released Wednesday.

That’s an increase of 26 percent from 2013, when 661 crimes were reported.

In 2012, 714 crimes were reported on campus.

Violent crime — defined by the FBI as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — remained around 1 percent of all criminal offenses reported, according to KU. No homicides have been reported on campus.

In 2014, there were three rapes, two robberies and four aggravated assaults

NINTH STREET CORRIDOR PROJECT

Name-change idea prompts questions about neighborhood rebranding, identity

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

The Ninth Street Corridor Project design team recapped past meetings and unveiled a few in-progress suggestions at the second citizen’s advisory committee meeting Wednesday night.

The committee is made up of more than a dozen neighborhood, city and

business representatives, meant to help steer the design team in a positive direction as the project moves forward.

Several dozen people sat in New York Elementary School’s cafeteria, listening to the open meeting and watching as the design team’s Josh Shelton proposed a new name for the project.

Rather than Free State

Boulevard, as the venture was initially called, or the Ninth Street Corridor Project, as it has come to be known, Shelton suggested a simpler approach, naming the project “East Ninth.� “These are small shifts in the way we talk about it,� he said. “This is not just the street, it’s the place and it’s the site for the project, East Ninth.�

While the name of such a project might seem like an innocuous detail, committee member Dave Loewenstein said the group was not consulted on the new name and there can be unexpected consequences to the change.

Those consequences can impact the essence of a neighborhood like East Lawrence.

Council Grove (ap) — An American Indian tribe is returning to its land in northeast Kansas after nearly 142 years.

The Kaw Nation, also called the Kanza, will perform ritual dances Saturday south of Council Grove. It is a step toward establishing a gathering place to educate, promote and preserve the American Indian heritage for a tribe for which the state of Kansas is named.

The Wichita Eagle reports the dances will be performed at the site of the last Kaw villages in Kansas before the Kaw Nation was forced to move to Indian Territory in Oklahoma in 1873. “This is significant because that was the site of the last Kanza villages in Kansas before our removal into Indian Territory in 1873,� said Pauline Sharp, of Wichita, vice president of the cultural committee for the Kaw Nation. “This was where our ancestors lived, and I think if you talk with any Kaw tribal member who has gone out to the park, it has a special feeling.�

When the tribe was forced to move, it had fewer than 500 members. Today, the Kaw Nation has almost 3,500 members.

On Feb. 28, 2000, the Kaw Nation bought 146.8 acres of land along the Little John Creek near Council Grove. It has been working with the state to re-establish its ties to Kansas, through various measures including dedicating 168 acres as Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park.

The Kaw Nation was also given a $350,000 matching grant several years ago from the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism for a dance arbor and other improvements to the Council Grove park. “We have only been in Oklahoma for the past 142 years,� Sharp said. “We were in Kansas for 375 years. We were in Kansas a lot longer than we have been in Oklahoma.�

“Rebranding the neighborhood without the consent and participation and a real good conversation with the folks who live and work here seems aggressive to me,” he said. “Rebranding can be used as a way to erase the history and the culture and the social fabric of a place.”

On the other hand, committee member Tom Carmody said, he had no objections to the new name. At the moment, Shelton reiterated, nothing is final.

Next, the team’s Tristan Surtees revealed a statement of five values to lead the project going forward. “(The values) all come from the experiences we’ve had and the things we’ve discussed as a team,” Surtees said.

The values are: The project will be transparent. The project will be equitable and civic. The project will value a diversity of perspective. The project will be respectful of its people.

The project will be respon-

sive to its place.

As the values were listed, many committee members shared concerns the project lacked involvement, clarity and scope.

Loewenstein said the list “lacked teeth” and suggested committee members write a new statement of values. Carmody, on the other hand, said while the values aren’t overly specific, ultimately they can serve as a good starting point.

“It’s broad, but as we continue to the next step there will definitely be members that will provide more input,” he said. “I’m upbeat and positive. I think there has been transparency and there will continue to be.”

As the meeting wrapped up, Surtees suggested the design team and the committee organize a Ninth Street walkabout of sorts to allow the group to better visualize where the project should go next.

“And I do think the idea of a walk in the street with the group makes a lot of sense,” Carmody said.

The next Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting will take place at the Lawrence Public Library at 7 p.m. May 27.

Saturday, the Clinton Lake Cleanup Committee announced in a news release.

The event, hosted in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and the Clinton Marina, will begin with registration at 9 a.m. at Shelter No. 1 in the overlook park at the north end of Clinton dam.

More than 9,000 people have volunteered over the past 30 years to help maintain the area’s beauty by picking up litter. Each year, Clinton Lake receives more than 1 million visitors,

the release said.

Volunteers on Saturday will get a free hot dog lunch and information on recycling. There will also be a “weird trash” contest, “cash for trash” prizes and a possible visit by Woodsy Owl. For more information or to preregister volunteers, contact park ranger Kipp Walters at 843-7665.

The Clinton Lake Cleanup will take place “rain or shine,” the release said, but if the weather looks dangerous, listen to KLWN 1320 AM or call Walters.

Senior contending for Presidential Scholar Free State High School senior Anna Sophia Westbrook has been named a semifinalist in the U.S. Presidential Scholar competition.

Westbrook is one of 565 students to make it to the semifinals. Out of nearly 3.3 million graduating high school seniors, 4,300 were identified as candidates in the program. Up to 141

students are named a U.S. Presidential Scholar every year, according to a news release.

Westbrook The program, which is run by the U.S. Department of Education, was established in 1964 to recognize some of the country’s most distinguished high school seniors. All scholars are honored for their accomplishment at the White House in Washington, D.C., where they receive a Presidential Scholar Medallion.

Westbrook was the top winner in the JournalWorld’s recent Academic All-Star competition.

KU to offer online MBA program The Kansas University School of Business will offer a fully online Master of Business Administration

program starting this fall.

The program is designed for working professionals who want to advance their careers or make a career change, even from across the state or the world, according to an announcement from KU. “We are very excited about extending our MBA to a broader group,” Catherine Shenoy, director of MBA programs, said in a news release.

KU’s online MBA requires 42 credit hours, designed to be completed in two years, and includes options for specialization in finance, marketing, and management and leadership. The program will offer three-credit-hour courses and is designed for students to take one class at a time in succession. Find more information at onlinemba.ku.edu.

Quakes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.”

During 2014, KGS recorded 158 earthquakes in Kansas, ranging in magnitude from 1.3 to 4.8 on the Richter scale. That included 30 quakes in the month of November alone, the strongest of which was the 4.8-magnitude quake on Nov. 12.

But officials from the Kansas Geological Survey reported in January that fracking was not the cause of the earthquakes. Rather, they said, the more likely cause was the increased disposal of saltwater waste, a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, into nearby injection wells.

In March, the month when the KCC issued its order, Kansas Geological Survey recorded 25 quakes, most of which were in the 2.0 to 2.9 range on the Richter scale.

But so far in April, geologists have recorded only five quakes, the most recent of which was a 2.2-magnitude quake on Monday about 2 miles southeast of Caldwell in Sumner County.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

state would use the new revenues to capture additional federal funds for its Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to about 368,000 needy and disabled residents.

Three private health insurance companies managing the Medicaid program would pay most of the estimated $136 million in new fees during the fiscal year beginning July 1. But they’d also get enough money to offset an extra tax imposed under the 2010 federal health care law, making the state’s net gain about $80 million.

But another compa-

“

Oil prices are impacting the industry. There has been a big drop in permits for oil wells, a drop in permits for disposal wells, a drop in the number of oil rigs that are operating.”

— Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Geological Survey, told a legislative committee in January there was no correlation between the timing of the quakes and the incidence of “fracking” in the area.

The more likely cause, he said, likely was that some of the injection wells used for saltwater disposal were located near fault lines and that the increased pressure from the massive dumping of saltwater into those wells was triggering the quakes.

But neither he nor KCC officials would speculate this week about why seismic activity in the area has fallen sharply this month.

Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent ny, Aetna, with about 52,000 HMO customers in Kansas, estimates it would pay $12 million more a year in fees. Two Aetna executives sent a letter to legislators in mid-March — after the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill increasing the fee — saying the cost would be passed onto consumers.

The measure has stalled in the House, and Insurance Committee Chairman Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican, said he won’t support measures raising taxes for health insurers because they’ll drive up premiums for consumers.

“The bill overall is in trouble,” Schwab said.

“He’s going to have to come up with a different proposal.”

Budget Director

Christopher Ridge, student, Lawrence “I don’t think it’s necessarily increasing, but we’re more aware of it.

It may be increasing but not by a huge amount.”

Oil and Gas Association, noted there also has been a sharp decline in oil and gas production in that area, coinciding with a sharp decline in the global price of oil.

“Oil prices are impacting the industry,” Cross said. “There has been a big drop in permits for oil wells, a drop in permits for disposal wells, a drop in the number of oil rigs that are operating. It’s more about the price of oil.”

The KCC has said it will continue to monitor reports of seismic activity in the area, as well as how oil and gas producers are complying with the order, and that it may modify the rules in the future.

Meanwhile, the single largest oil company operating in the area, SandRidge Exploration and Production LLC, filed a motion Friday to intervene in the case and reserved the right to request a hearing if the agency intends to take further action.

Officials at SandRidge did not respond to email and telephone requests for comment about the filing.

Ag department works on bird flu vaccine

Minneapolis (ap) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working on a vaccine to counter a deadly strain of bird flu, as losses to poultry producers mount.

A pure “seed strain” would target the H5N2 virus — which has already cost Midwest turkey and chicken producers over 7 million birds since early March — as well as some other highly pathogenic viruses in the H5 family that have been detected in other parts of North America. The Kansas Department of Agriculture reported last month that it has detected avian flu in Leavenworth, Crawford and Cherokee counties, where it has established quarantine zones.

If the USDA decides the vaccine is necessary to stop avian influenza, it will provide that seed strain to drug manufacturers.

The process, though, is fraught with questions about which birds would get the vaccine, how it might affect exports and whether it would be effective against the rapidly spreading strain.

USDA officials say the — Peter Hancock can be reached H5N2 virus could be a at 785-354-4222. Email him at problem for the poultry phancock@ljworld.com. industry for several years.

Shawn Sullivan said in a statement Wednesday that the governor’s office “has been in active discussions” with Aetna, legislators and the Kansas Insurance Department.

The state is wrestling with budget problems that arose after lawmakers slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in a bid to stimulate the economy. Sullivan said the state also must cover additional Medicaid costs linked to the federal health care law, including the tax for health insurers.

The $400 million budget gap that must be closed in the next fiscal year assumes lawmakers approve the HMO fee increase, Sullivan said.

counting on that,” said Rep. Jerry Henry of Atchison, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. “They’ve already booked that money.”

Aetna spokesman Rohan Hutchings said the company views the proposed fee increase as “inequitable” because it targets only a narrow segment of the industry. He said a fee or tax for all health insurers would be fairer.

The company said the fee increase would increase premiums for its HMO consumers by an average of $206 a year, which could prompt them to seek other coverage or lead their employers to self-insure.

“There’s a better way to come to a level playing field,” he said.

CORRECTION A story in Wednesday’s Journal-World incorrectly said the salary of Art Hall, Kansas University School of Business lecturer and Center for Applied Economics executive director, was paid mostly with private funds. Hall’s salary for the current academic year is being paid 72 percent from tuition and 28 percent from private funds, according to the business school finance office.

And they say the virus could reappear this fall when the wild waterfowl that are believed to carry it fly south for the winter.

Another concern is that it could spread to big poultry-producing states in the East.

While government agencies and producers would much rather see tight biosecurity and other current strategies succeed, they want to have another tool available, said Dr. T.J. Myers, an associate deputy administrator for veterinary services with the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

The USDA’s Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia, is developing the seed strain, which is essentially a pure virus sample that could be the foundation for producing an effective vaccine.

The center’s director, Dr. David Swayne, said it has already gone through a couple of rounds of lab testing, and that animal experiments will begin in early May to determine whether it’s an effective strain to use. If those tests are successful and the USDA decides to put a vaccine into production, it would turn to the private sector to make it.

Blue Shield of Kansas, the largest health insurance company, opposes a broader tax increase, spokeswoman Mary Beth Chambers said. She said no increase is ideal, but the one for HMOs at least would be paid mostly by the Medicaid managers, who’d also benefit from new revenues.

Blue Cross would pay $2.5 million in addition-

Comedy festival making a stand this weekend

By Joanna Hlavacek

RIPTIDE COMEDY FESTIVAL

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Watch out, Lawrence: A riptide is bringing a boatload of comedians to town this weekend.

Harpoon Presents’ second annual Riptide Comedy Festival kicks off today at various locations across downtown Lawrence, bringing with it more than 25 comedians from New York to Los Angeles.

Festivities officially begin with a special edition of “Good Time,” the local comedy collective’s weekly showcase, from 6 to 9 p.m. today at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St. This year’s Riptide bears little resemblance to its first incarnation, says Zach White, the principal organizer behind the four-day festival.

“I think the philosophy behind this year’s planning of deliberately mixing east and west adds an additional layer to it,” White says.

“It’s the concept of these huge waves of people coming in from the coasts and washing over Lawrence.”

While the original Riptide featured mostly local comedians, this weekend’s schedule skews toward comics who have built careers in major markets on the coasts but have yet to

Among the lineup: LA-based comedy group PowerViolence (founding members Whitmer Thomas and Clay Tatum write and star in FXX’s animated series “Stone Quackers”) and Dan Licata and Joe Pera, who together host a weekly showcase with Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City.

“A lot of comedians recycle the same stuff.

They’re all just like, ‘Oh man, Tinder. Dating’s

hard. I don’t like my job.’

It’s kind of boring,” White says. “These guys have interesting perspectives.”

Unlike other comedy festivals that allow submissions from potential performers, Riptide’s organizers already had some names in mind when they began the planning process last year.

Anticipating the added expense of travel and lodging for out-oftown performers, Harpoon Presents turned to crowdsourcing to make the festival happen. The

group’s Indiegogo page has raised just over $2,000 so far, reaching its goal last week.

White says Riptide is following a wave of “DIY” comedy festivals that have emerged in recent years, citing Omaha’s Crom Comedy Festival and The Comedy Exposition in Chicago.

The Lawrence comedy scene has experienced some growth since White returned here in fall 2013 after spending a couple of post-grad years working as a journalist in Montana

Here are the events comprising this weekend’s Riptide Comedy Festival.

A pass for all 10 events is available for $20 on the festival’s Indiegogo page.

Cover charges for individual events vary: • Good Time: Riptide Kick Off Edition, 6-9 p.m. today, Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St. • Joke Fighter V: Riptide, 10 p.m. today, The Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St. • Freak Happening, 7-9 p.m. Friday, Fatso’s, 1016 Massachusetts St. • Power Violence, 9-11 p.m. Friday, The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. and New York City.

White first founded Harpoon Presents as a Kansas University student in 2008, but never had much time to devote to the group in his college days. That changed when he moved back to Lawrence and introduced the scene to the comedy infrastructure he observed in New York City.

Now, with more opportunities for local comedians to shine, “we are possibly the best city for comedy between Chicago and Denver,” White says.

And with all the coastal comics streaming into town for the event, White

Sunday, Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St. hopes Riptide will prove that to the rest of the country.

“I think Lawrence itself is a big contributor to that,” he says of Riptide and what makes it special. “I think this is a weird town full of very creative people who are unusually suited to supporting creative endeavors like this one.”

Health policy forges odd alliances

EDITORIALS

Big picture A blue-ribbon commission is one way city officials could spur the needed discussion on local police services and facilities.

L

awrence city commissioners shouldn’t be too quick to reject the idea of establishing a blue-ribbon commission to take a look at police operations and facilities.

Two new commissioners — Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley — proposed such a group at Tuesday’s meeting but got a lukewarm response from their fellow commissioners, who, with all due respect, seemed to be missing the point.

They said that the police department and city-hired consultants already had gathered a lot of information about the need for a police headquarters. “I’m a little confused about what level of expertise the general community is going to have on what the needs of law enforcement will be in 30 years,” said Commissioner Matthew Herbert.

Local police may be the “experts” on what they want in terms of a new headquarters building but they aren’t the only ones affected by that and other decisions related to local law enforcement.

What Soden and Boley are looking for is a group that will take a broader look at how the police department operates, how it interacts with the community and other law enforcement entities and how plans for a new headquarters will help it provide better services.

Although the “general community” should be heard from on these topics, a blue-ribbon commission wouldn’t be made up of people plucked from a street corner. It should be people who have some knowledge of the legal system and experience with the community. That could include former prosecutors or law enforcement officials, public administration experts, mental health professionals or local attorneys. They could be charged with looking at what other communities are doing to improve services and prepare for the future.

As Soden pointed out, the information that has been gathered and presented on a new police headquarters has been focused almost entirely on facilities, and the job of a blue-ribbon committee would be to take a more “global view.”

She’s right that the planning “process” for a new police headquarters has been mostly a matter of the police department working with a consultant to decide what it needs and wants and then asking city taxpayers to pay for it.

A blue-ribbon commission may not be the only way to broaden the discussion of local police operations and needs, but if city commissioners don’t like that idea, they need to come up with another way to address that goal.

Simply keeping the same headquarters proposal and trying to find some other way to finance it isn’t the best strategy.

Washington — Smoking, said King James I in 1604, is “loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs.” Three years later he planted a colony in Jamestown. Its tobacco enhanced the royal treasury until Virginia produced a bumper crop of revolutionaries, including the tobacco farmer George Washington.

They illustrate a familiar phenomenon, the cooperation between ‘bootleggers and Baptists,’ meaning merchants and moralists — those motivated by profits and those motivated by social improvement.” tainly is less harmful than inhaling chemicals produced by the combustion of tobacco. Users of e-cigarettes inhale vapors from electronic sticks containing a liquid with nicotine, which is addictive and perhaps particularly unhealthy for adolescent brains.

Between 2013 and 2014 the use of e-cigarettes by middle- and high-school students tripled, and now exceeds that cohort’s use of traditional cigarettes.

E-cigarettes, sometimes flavored to tempt the immature (“Unicorn Puke,” “Stoned Smurf,” “German Chocolate Beefcake”) might be “gateway drugs,” leading to tobacco cigarettes. Currently, however, e-cigarettes often are substitutes for them. So, prepare for regulations combining high-mindedness and low cunning.

E-cigarettes raise public health issues, but also illus-

trate the unhealthy process by which public policy often is made. They illustrate a familiar phenomenon, the cooperation between “bootleggers and Baptists,” meaning merchants and moralists — those motivated by profits and those motivated by social improvement.

In 1983, Bruce Yandle, then a Clemson University economist who now is at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, had an epiphany: Regulations often come from a counterintuitive convergence of pressures from two groups, the earnestness of one providing cover for the other’s avarice. In his example, Baptists wanted laws closing liquor stores on Sundays to promote piety, and bootleggers wanted such laws to create an unserved market.

Today, New York has the highest state cigarette tax ($4.35 per pack — plus a $1.50 New York City tax) and North Carolina has the sixthlowest (45 cents), so naturally Interstate 95 is a corridor for smuggled cigarettes, which in 2013 were nearly 60 percent of New York’s cigarette market. Proclaiming morality while practicing cupidity, states have tried to hit the sweet spot of cigarette taxes — high enough to maximize revenue without excessively discouraging smoking.

States addicted to tobacco taxes need a large and renewable supply of smokers, so they wince whenever an

e-cigarette displaces a traditional cigarette. As Yandle and three colleagues explain in the current issue of Regulation quarterly, state governments are now bootleggers masquerading as Baptists, and many are in a bind.

In 1998, acting on the dubious proposition that smoking costs governments substantial sums (actually, cigarettes are one of the most heavily taxed consumer products, and one in three smokers dies prematurely, before fully collecting government medical, pension and nursing home entitlements), the tobacco companies agreed to pay 46 states $206 billion through 2025. Some states, impatient to spend their windfall, securitized the future revenue in tobacco bonds. Now, as vaping supplants some smoking, there is a new cadre of bootleggers — the holders of tobacco bonds. They are supposed to be paid from a revenue stream from smokers (disproportionately low-income and lowinformation people), so they will urge regulations that discourage e-cigarettes.

In exchange for the big cigarette companies’ payments, the 1998 agreement gave them tobacco marketing restrictions, which they welcomed.

The restrictions impede the entrance of new competitors into the field, and hinder smaller companies from using cigarette advertising for its primary purpose, which is not to create new smokers

but to capture a larger market share of existing smokers.

E-cigarettes can expect similar bootlegging regulations, couched in moralistic cadences. Also, manufacturers of nicotine replacement therapies (e.g., nicotine patches and gum) will be bootleggers seeking regulations that will discourage people from thinking e-cigarettes are a relatively safe way to enjoy nicotine.

Yandle’s “bootleggers and Baptists” hypothesis is given many illustrations, from environmental regulations to Obamacare, in a new book of that title, co-authored with his economist grandson, Adam Smith. Yandle’s hypothesis expands “public choice” theory, which demystifies and de-romanticizes government by applying economic analysis — how incentives influence behavior — to politicians and bureaucrats.

It rebuts the fiction that such officials are more disinterested than actors in the private sector. Yandle does the same thing regarding many of those who seek regulations.

Life would be sweeter if people would forgo the pleasures of inhaling smoke and vapors that do not improve the air, which is plentiful and untaxed. And government would be better if more people were cleareyed about how Baptists and bootleggers collaborate.

U.S. seeks to reassure Gulf allies Washington — President Obama has been trying since his September 2013 address to the United Nations to convince Saudi Arabia and other Gulf allies that the United States is truly committed to their security. So far, he hasn’t been very successful, but he’ll try again next month at a Camp David summit meeting.

Obama’s approach is part of a big strategic idea for the Middle East that could be described as “dual engagement.” On the one hand, the U.S. is seeking an agreement with Iran to limit its nuclear weapons. On the other, the U.S. wants to bolster the Saudis and their neighbors through new U.S. military commitments. The goal is an eventual balance between a less-threatening Iran and a more confident, forwardleaning Saudi Arabia.

“We need to shape this so that Gulf countries have the ability to engage Iran from a position of greater equality and parity,” explained a senior administration official. U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s military campaign in Yemen against Iranianbacked Houthi rebels is part of that attempt to rebalance a region where Iran and its proxies have been on a roll.

The U.S. initiative is a complicated two-step that brings to mind the admonition of Michael Corleone in “The Godfather Part II,” to “keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”

Watching the U.S. cozy up

“

The U.S. initiative is a complicated twostep that brings to mind the admonition of Michael Corleone in ‘The Godfather Part II,’ to ‘keep your friends close but your enemies closer.’”

with Iran, the Saudis and their neighbors must sometimes wonder which they are, friends or enemies.

The Camp David meeting is meant to ease that anxiety.

Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed, the military leader of the United Arab Emirates, met with Obama on Monday to explore the agenda for the Camp David meeting, scheduled May 13 and 14. The UAE initially wanted a formal treaty to defend members of the Gulf Cooperation Council against external aggression.

The White House countered that such a legal pact is “not realistic,” given the problems of Senate ratification, and “not necessary,” according to the official.

“We can provide ... an ex-

pansion of our security assurances to our allies that would give them confidence we will be there if needed,” the official explained. He said the White House is now discussing with GCC representatives the specifics of greater military cooperation, including equipment, training, advanced weapons systems and joint military exercises.

Yemen has been a test case of the chaotic dynamic in the Gulf. Despite misgivings, Obama has supported the three-week-old air war by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to check the Houthis (who are allied with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh) and push them toward a political solution. The White House will be relieved by the Saudi announcement Tuesday that the initial military phase is ending.

“At some point, an air campaign has diminishing and marginal returns,” argues the administration official. “Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the Yemen conflict will have to be solved politically.” The Saudis and Emiratis have been trying to move in that direction, by peeling the Yemeni tribes away from allying with the Houthis or the equally menacing al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. Gulf officials reckon that seven formerly rebellious brigades of the Yemeni army are now cooperating with the government, and that 20 more brigades may join them soon.

The White House has pub-

licly backed the Yemen operation, but officials worry that the country has been a graveyard for such optimistic scenarios, and that Iran’s real aim may be to draw Saudi Arabia into a quagmire.

The White House has a final goal for the Camp David gathering, which is to galvanize action against internal threats to Gulf security from extremist groups such as the Islamic State, rather than just focus on the external threat from Iran. The administration sees an Arab world in disarray because of failing states and sectarian proxy wars with Iran that have ravaged Iraq, Syria, and now Yemen.

In a radically unstable Middle East, it’s worth remembering two positive developments: First, the U.S. and Iran are talking productively after 36 years of enmity. And second, the U.S. is engaging honestly and creatively with its often prickly Gulf allies. Good policy would make these two trends converge in a way that, over the next decade, gradually stabilizes the region.

Gulf Arab leaders get offended when they hear Obama say, as he did to Tom Friedman of The New York Times, that “the biggest threats that they face may not be coming from Iran invading ... (but from) inside their own countries.” They shouldn’t worry. Such straight talk is part of a real friendship, and a real alliance.

WASHINGTON As President Obama stood in an Everglades swamp to speak on climate change Wednesday, the White House rolled out a package of eight executive actions, implemented by seven government agencies, to “protect the people and places that climate change puts at risk.”

The announcement contained no executive orders, sweeping directives, legislative proposals or bill signings.

Instead, the actions include smaller-bore staples of a “penand-phone” strategy that shows no sign of letting up: a report on the value of parks to the environment, a proclamation declaring National Parks Week, and conservation efforts in Florida, Hawaii, Puget Sound and the Great Lakes.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the actions were an effort to deal with the impacts of climate change “even in the face of pretty significant opposition from Republicans in Congress.”

Indeed, the actions have a political component, part of a White House strategy to work around Congress and force Republicans to respond to the president’s agenda.

“Since the election, the president has had a pretty explicit strategy,” said Brian Deese, a senior Obama adviser. “And it has consisted of trying stay on offense, trying to push where he can to move the agenda through

French police foil ‘imminent’ attack on churchgoers Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

French authorities on Wednesday said they foiled an “imminent” attack on churchgoers after a man was arrested in Paris with an arsenal of weapons.

The 24-year-old Algerian computer science student was detained on Sunday because he shot himself in the leg, prosecutors said. The man called for an ambulance and was found bleeding on a pavement in the 13th arrondissement of the city, the Guardian reported. Police followed a trail of blood to his car, where

they found the weapons. Several more weapons were found at the suspect’s home.

“Documents were also found and they prove, without any ambiguity, that the individual was preparing an imminent attack, in all probability, against one or two churches,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

The man, who was not identified by police, was said to be an Islamic extremist known to security forces for having expressed a desire to travel to Syria.

The suspect was also arrested in connection with the death of Aurelie Chatelain, a 32-year-old Frenchwoman, who was found

shot to death in her car Sunday morning. She had been in Paris for a work training session.

Also found in the suspect’s apartment in southeastern Paris was evidence of ties to Islamic extremism, Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said.

There was no immediate evidence that the suspect had direct ties to any organized groups, a French security official who was not authorized to publicly release details told the Associated Press.

In early January, 17 people were killed in Paris by gunmen who targeted the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket.

Cubans are still waiting for the thaw Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

HAVANA When I last came to Cuba in late December, I detected a sentiment among the island’s people that I had never encountered before: optimism.

President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro had just announced their historic pact to re-establish diplomatic relations between the two countries, and every Cuban I encountered ticked off ways they felt the new opening could foster their economic well-being.

Now, four months later, I’ve run into something else: impatience.

As the two governments slowly work through their respective bureaucracies to enact sweeping changes, the impact on the daily lives of Cubans has so far been non-existent. The only segment of the population that has seen any benefit is the tourism industry, as more American business people, officials and travelers have come to the island.

“At first, it was euphoria,” Ricardo Torres Pérez, an economist at the Havana-based Center for Studies of the Cuban Economy, told me. “If you’re not familiar with how politics work, you think there’s a big announcement and everything is fixed. But it’s not like that.”

Much progress has been made

The U.S. government changed its regulations to allow expanded travel and trade opportunities with Cuba; Obama has moved to take Cuba off of the State Sponsors of Terrorism list; and the two presidents proudly shook hands in Panama last month.

meet with Cuban bankers, pharmaceutical experts and travel officials, spoke about how quickly they want to move ahead.

But that momentum isn’t reflected on the island. The Cuban government hasn’t commented on Obama’s promise to allow travelers to use their U.S.issued credit and debit cards here. No word on increased commercial flights or American investments in Cuba’s telecommunications infrastructure.

The cynic will say Castro never intends to follow through

on the changes. After all, his older brother, former leader Fidel Castro, has a long history of extending olive branches to the U.S., then yanking them back. I posed that question to Pérez, who sees something else going on, something that I hope is the reality.

“For the United States, normalizing relations with Cuba, perhaps in some symbolic way, is a big deal. But in practical terms, it’s not exactly the opening of the Chinese market,” he said.

“For Cuba, relations with the United States is everything. It’s their economic future, national security, political, military, everything. So it’s understandable that the government of Cuba doesn’t want to make a mistake along the way.

“If the United States makes a mistake, OK, they can fix it. But if Cuba makes a strategic error in the process, that would be disastrous.”

It’s impossible to fault the people of Cuba for getting impatient. Americans rightfully fretted during the worst years of the recession as many were laid off, homes lost and the financial stability of millions crumbled.

But imagine going through that kind of economic malaise for more than half a century. So when they’re told that the end is near, that the Americans and their money are coming to save them, you can’t blame them for getting antsy as they look over the horizon.

Executive actions coming several times a week v CONTINUED FROM 1B

executive action. You’re going to keep seeing the president in that posture going forward.”

“Executive action” — a phrase Obama never uttered publicly in the first two and a half years of his presidency — has now become so routine that new announcements come several times a week.

The actions can take many forms, from formal executive orders and presidential memoranda to more routine reports, meetings and internal bureaucratic changes. That makes any definitive count of lower-level executive actions difficult.

But by one measure, such policy rollouts are actually increasing in pace. The White House often announces executive actions with a fact sheet from the press office, and those spiked last year during what Obama called the “Year of Action.” The White House issued 228 fact sheets in 2014, more than the first three years of his presidency combined.

This year, the White House has already issued three more fact sheets than last year at the same time.

The Obama strategy on executive actions closely parallels that of the Clinton White House. In Bill Clinton’s last two years in office, chief of staff John Podesta launched what would become known as “Project Podesta.” In an effort to flex presidential authority, Podesta canvassed executive agencies for actions Clinton could take without going to Congress.

Podesta came back to the Obama White House last year, and when he departed for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign his responsibility for climate poli-

FIRING OFF ‘FACT SHEETS’ One measure of how busy the White House has been in rolling out executive actions is its use of “fact sheets,” which are often used to announce new policy initiatives. Those fact sheets have spiked in the last two years.

President Obama speaks about his climate change policies Wednesday at Everglades National Park near Homestead, Fla. cy fell to Deese.

“One of the ways that the White House plays a role is to think forward and challenge the agencies to be proactive in saying, ‘What more can we do? And what more can we do that’s consistent with certain themes?’ “ Deese said.

This year, the major theme is “middle-class economics.” The Obama White House has also used executive action to lower mortgage insurance premiums and regulate retirement accounts.

And coming soon: new overtime regulations from the Department of Labor, which Obama ordered in a presidential memorandum last year.

The actions often don’t originate in the White House. “Sometimes an agency has a particular initiative that they want to push

that would benefit from getting a higher profile, or the president making a very concrete call to action,” Deese said.

Executive action wasn’t part of Obama’s strategy when he first came into office.

“I sort of see it as flowing from the failure of the grand bargain negotiations in 2011,” said Andrew Rudalevige, a presidency scholar at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. That’s when Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, tried to reach a permanent budget agreement but instead came up with a “Supercommittee” that failed to reach agreement, triggering across-theboard budget cuts.

“He gets shellacked in the midterm, and then sets up a position where he could actually cooperate — a triangulation strategy,

channeling Bill Clinton,” Rudalevige said. “Instead of channeling Bill Clinton, he started channeling Harry Truman taking on the ‘Do Nothing’ Congress.”

In the fall of 2011, Obama went on a “We Can’t Wait” road tour, meant to put pressure on Congress leading up to the 2012 elections. It was during that tour that Obama used the words “executive action” in public for the first time as president.

“I’ve told my administration to keep looking every single day for actions we can take without Congress, steps that can save consumers money, make government more efficient and responsive, and help heal the economy,” Obama said in an October 2011 speech in Las Vegas. “And we’re

going to be announcing these executive actions on a regular basis.”

In the 2014 congressional election cycle, that strategy was called the “Year of Action.” It brought often controversial executive actions on climate, immigration and Cuba.

“I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone. And that’s all I need,” he said in 2014. “Because with a pen, I can take executive actions.”

Not all Obama’s executive actions get congressional attention, and many involve “soft” powers — like convening meetings, issuing reports or writing internal rules — that are clearly within the president’s authority. But for Republicans in Congress, executive action become synonymous with presidential overreach.

“One of the important roles of Congress is to serve as a check and a balance against the administration, and we’ve seen from this Obama administration many, many times where they’ve overstepped their legal authority,” House Republican Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said Wednesday.

“In fact, 20 different times the Obama administration has had the Supreme Court rule unanimously against executive actions that they’ve taken, that they’ve actually gone before the Court on.”

As the Obama presidency heads into its final furlong, White House officials say their focus is increasingly on getting all those executive actions implemented.

“We will continue to announce more executive actions, but the president is also holding us to account to execute on the executive orders we’ve already announced,” said White House economic adviser Jeff Zients.

it took regulators so long to catch on.

“I would like to hear from the (regulators) why did it go on for five years? And can they tell us confidently that there’s no one else doing this currently?” Saluzzi said.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, or CME Group, questioned Sarao numerous times about his trading in 2010, only to be brushed off, according to the Justice Department’s criminal complaint against Sarao, unsealed Tuesday.

In March 2010, a few months before the crash, Sarao allegedly asked CME whether its questions about his trading meant CME

was ready to go after “mass manipulation” by high-frequency traders, according to the DOJ. In a statement, CME said it is reviewing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s claim, also released Tuesday, that Sarao was partially responsible for the crash.

“Following the Flash Crash on May 6, 2010, together with other regulators, we did a thorough analysis of all activity in our markets during the Flash Crash, and concluded — along with regulators — that the Flash Crash was not caused by the futures market,” CME Group said in a statement. “If new information has come to light, we look forward to reviewing it with the (CFTC),” the statement said.

THE TELEGRAPH

The Telegraph reports on Navinder Singh Sarao.

Sarao’s alleged activities went from 2009 through this year and earned him an estimated $40 million in profits, said Aitan Goelman, head of enforcement at the CFTC. Authorities charge he manipulated a popular stock market futures index for his gain by placing large contract orders and quickly canceling them before they were executed.

The CFTC was alerted to Sarao’s alleged misdeeds by a whistle-blower, who has not been identified, according to Shayne Stevenson, who represents the whistle-blower through Hagens Berman law firm in Seattle. Stevenson said his client brought “high-quality information” about “market manipulation” to the CFTC, which alerted the DOJ.

Stevenson declined to specify when his client went to the CFTC with the information.

One investor says the episode reminds him of the Bernard Madoff fraud case.

Madoff, a securities broker, ran a Ponzi scheme that stole billions of dollars from investors. Regulators didn’t catch on for years despite warnings, and the scheme finally fell apart in 2008 with Madoff’s arrest.

“This reminds me of the Madoff scandal in that it took a private investigator to figure out what happened,” said Stanley Haar, a commodities trader with Haar Capital. “Trading those huge volumes, this guy should have been caught within a week,” Haar said of Sarao.

A QUICK RETURN TO BOMBING IN YEMEN Fighting enters an uncertain phase as talks are in limbo Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The resumption of Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen on Wednesday, a day after announcing an end to the nearly month-long bombing campaign, is a sign that fighting there is entering a new, uncertain phase.

“All sides are taking stock of where they are in this conflict,” said Matthew McInnis, a former military intelligence analyst at U.S. Central Command now at the American Enterprise Institute. “The likelihood of continued fighting is high, and the Saudis will have to judge whether they

Wednesday’s airstrikes took place in the southern port city of Aden and the central city of Taiz

as battles continued between rebels, or Houthis, and supporters of exiled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. On Tuesday, the

Saudi government said the U.S.backed bombing had achieved its goals and was stopped.

Saudi Arabia has made it “very clear we will not allow them to take control of Yemen by force,” Saudi ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir told reporters Wednesday at the Saudi embassy in Washington.

“The objective now is to go after strategic targets to prevent Houthis’ aggressive movements in Yemen,” he said. “It’s their decision if to enter the political process or whether to keep fighting and try to impose their will on the rest of Yemen.”

The air campaign had been focused on arms depots and infrastructure that could be used by rebels, McInnis said.

Asked about committing Saudi ground troops to the fight, al-Jubeir said, “We don’t take any op-

Winter stalls bug season for many

Pope to call for action on climate change Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The East should prepare for sudden surge in warmer days Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Just as the fierce winter in the eastern and central USA delayed the allergy season, it’s also stalled the start of the bug season.

But it won’t be long before warm temperatures spur on the usual parade of mosquitoes, termites, ants, ticks and stink bugs.

In the West, a warmer-thanaverage winter is having the opposite effect. The Pacific Northwest is under an unusually early attack from ticks and ants, while in California, a drought could help ease the mosquito season.

Weather has a huge impact on when and where bugs become active, Missy Henriksen of the National Pest Management Association said.

It may appear that pests vanish during winter, but most species are actually “overwintering” or in a hibernation-like state, she said.

Stink bugs, for instance, are waking up from their indoor winter nap and are starting to head outdoors as the temperatures warm.

Though weather affects when bugs emerge, it doesn’t necessarily affect the severity of the season. “Most people think that the cold winter we had last year and again this year would have a big impact on insect populations,” said entomologist George Hamilton of Rutgers University.

Though it might have killed some of the bugs, “overall, it probably

In the West, a warmer-thanaverage winter is having the opposite effect.

isn’t going to have much of an effect,” he said.

Warmth and dryness in the West might impact insects that need water to survive, such as mosquitoes, Hamilton said.

“Without water, mosquito larvae can’t survive, and that could reduce populations in some areas, at least this spring,” he said.

The lack of water in California could also lead to disease spread, Henriksen said. The few water sources that remain are likely to be stagnant and a significant draw for mosquito and bird populations, posing an increased risk for the transmission of West Nile Virus, which can travel from bird to mosquito to people. Last year, California had the second-highest number of cases of West Nile virus since 2003, she said.

In the East, the wet winter and early spring is good news for bugs but bad for people: The increase in standing water could jumpstart the mosquito population, Hamilton said. “All you need is seven days of standing water for most species, when it’s warm, to go from eggs to adults,” he said.

The wet winter and spring could spark a fierce mosquito season in the East, but the drought in California could ease the situation there.

IN BRIEF HOUSE PASSES CYBER-THREAT INFORMATION SHARING BILL

The House on Wednesday passed a bipartisan cybersecurity bill to make it easier for companies to share cyber-threat information with the government and thwart hacks by criminals, terrorists and rogue nations.

It was the first action in the new Congress in response to recent high-profile cyber attacks that have included Sony Pictures, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Target, Anthem health insurance, the State Department and the White House.

Lawmakers voted 307-116 to approve the Protecting Cyber Networks Act, which was passed last month by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

tions off the table.”

The rebels called for the resumption of dialogue Wednesday.

“We welcome any United Nations efforts that are on the side of peaceful solutions,” Houthi spokesman Mohamed Abdul-Salam said in a statement.

White House spokesperson Eric Schultz said Wednesday that efforts must shift from military operations to “rapid, unconditional response of all party negotiations that allow Yemen to resume an inclusive political transition process.”

“There’s going to be no military solution to this problem, only one that is solved at the diplomatic table,” he said.

At least 944 people have been killed and 3,500 others wounded since the the airstrikes began March 26, the World Health Organization said.

Pope Francis is planning to use one of the highest forms of papal expression — an encyclical — to promote action on climate change to save the planet as a moral and religious imperative.

Vatican officials have outlined what the document will say and are planning its release for maximum global impact beyond the Catholic Church’s 1.2 billion members.

First on the promotional agenda is an April 28 Vatican conference where United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon will speak. The goal is to advance the morality argument that is a theme of the encyclical.

Beginning Sept. 23, the pope will visit the White House, address a joint session of Congress — the first pontiff to do so — and address the U.N. General Assembly at the beginning of a summit on sustainable development.

“The timing of the encyclical is significant,” Cardinal Peter Turkson said last month. “2015 is a critical year for humanity.”

The cardinal said all events lead to Paris in December, when nations will gather to debate how to slow global warming. The encyclical will urge that saving the environment is saving humanity, particularly the poor, who are disproportionately impacted by global warming, Turkson said.

Skeptics are apprehensive.

Francis has fallen into “apocalyptic alarmism,” Maureen Mullarkey wrote in the Catholic publication First Things in January. He is “bending theology to premature (and) intemperate policy endorsements.”

AT 59, HINCKLEY ATTEMPTING TO GAIN MORE FREEDOM

Ukrainian coal miners protest outside the Government building in Kiev on Wednesday, demanding the government protect their jobs as the eastern separatist conflict threatens to force pits to close. They also want subsidies to the mines restored.

John Hinckley, the man who shot President Reagan 34 years ago and has been lauded by psychiatrists for a steady road back to stability, is seeking more freedom.

Hinckley, 59, spends more than

half his days with his 89-year-old mother at her Virginia home. The other half he spends at a mental hospital in Washington.

His lawyers and hospital officials are asking that Hinckley be granted “convalescent leave,”

meaning he would live full time on the outside but still meet regularly with a psychiatrist and therapists. He has been in “full and stable remission”' for more than two decades, his lawyer Barry Levine argued in federal court

The Senate unanimously approved a bill Wednesday to strengthen penalties against human traffickers who force their victims into slavery and prostitution.

The 99-0 vote to pass the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act ends a month-long impasse on the legislation that centered on abortion provisions.

It also clears the way for the Senate to move on to a confirmation vote on attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had vowed not to allow a vote on Lynch until after finishing the anti-trafficking bill.

Senators are scheduled to decide today on whether to proceed to a vote on Lynch.

Jodie Lloyd, manager of economic development for University City, says organizers decided on a project of maintenance for senior citizens because the population is aging. It isn’t uncommon to find residents who have lived in their homes for as long as 40 years.

“A lot of them are living alone and stay in the house a lot,” Lloyd says. “But they’re connected to the community,

connected to the church in the neighborhood.”

So the city, with the help of Our Lady of the Lord parish, signed up 150 volunteers to complete about 25 home projects for senior citizens. It also spent about $3,000 on supplies such as paint, yard waste bags, concrete and new fencing.

“I’ve lived here since 1977,” Williams says. “I’ve got wonderful neighbors. If I can do it, this is going to be my nursing home. I feel safe and secure here.”

MONEYLINE

FRANK RUMPENHORST, EPA

DEUTSCHE BANK TO PLEAD GUILTY As soon as today, Deutsche Bank will plead guilty and announce a settlement of more than $2.15 billion with U.S. and British regulatory authorities to resolve charges its employees tried to manipulate interest rates, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. On Wednesday, the bank said it expected to have a charge against earnings of nearly $1.6 billion in the first quarter tied to allegations that workers tried to manipulate the London interbank offered rate (Libor), an interest-rate benchmark on trillions of dollars of contracts.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS ‘Manipulative’ trades not rare LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL Ones that caused ‘Flash Crash’ were more ‘in your face’ Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The alleged improper trading strategy at the heart of U.S. authorities’ allegations against Navinder Singh Sarao may also be used by other traders — though not as openly — market experts and participants said Wednesday.

Sarao is accused of helping cause market-stressing conditions that triggered the 2010 “Flash Crash.” The event sent the Dow Jones industrial average on a 600-point plunge in five minutes, vaporizing nearly $1 trillion

in value and undermining investor confidence.

According to federal prosecutors and regulators, Sarao used a strategy known as spoofing — transmitting thousands of Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading orders he subsequently canceled before they were executed.

“Others do it, but his trades were an order of magnitude higher,” said Nanex CEO Eric Hunsader, a financial market data provider who has researched the crash. “It was more ‘in your face.’ ” During a more than four-hour period on the day of the crash, a computer algorithm believed to have been used by Sarao placed orders to sell 500 to 600 trading contracts, and then canceled and replaced the orders at the rate of

three times per second, said Hunsader.

The transactions involved socalled E-Minis, highly liquid and widely popular stock market index futures contracts based on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

The Department of Justice and Commodity Futures Trading Commission charge Sarao artificially depressed E-Mini prices, enabling him to profit by executing real orders.

“It was obvious” from a review of trading data, said Hunsader.

But not necessarily uncommon, according to Joe Saluzzi and Sal Arnuk of Themis Trading, an independent brokerage firm based in New Jersey.

“Considering the thousands of traders around the globe that have access to much more sophisticated software and hardware,

5B

we have to believe that Sarao is not the only person running these sorts of manipulative strategies,” the traders wrote in a Wednesday blog post.

The Sarao case represents no more than the third spoofing-related enforcement action filed by the CFTC since the regulator received authority to police the practice under federal DoddFrank financial reforms enacted after the national financial crisis.

Saluzzi questioned whether federal regulators and prosecutors have adequate surveillance programs to detect and deter spoofing and other manipulation.

“Waiting five years to bring a case against one guy who was operating from his house in the U.K. doesn’t bring a lot of confidence in the enforcement effort,” said Saluzzi.

EBAY REPORTS MODEST GROWTH Online retailer eBay reported modest growth in its first-quarter results — still enough to send shares popping. The San Jose, Calif.-based company reported operating earnings per share of 77 cents vs. 70 cents in the yearago quarter. Sales rose 4% to $4.45 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected revenues of $4.42 billion and earnings per share of 70 cents.

EBay’s stock rose 4% to $59.25 in after-hours trading. For the second quarter, it forecast sales between $4.4 billion to $4.5 billion, slightly short of forecasts.

For Facebook, a rare revenue miss But it touts hot ad growth in mobile Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

The good news from Facebook earnings — hot growth in mobile and video ads — came with a dose of bad.

All that growth is costing a lot.

The giant social network late Wednesday reported first-quarter revenue that was lighter than expected, weighed down by the strong dollar, and it reported a sharp increase in spending.

Shares fell after hours.

Yet it also crowed that nearly three-quarters of Facebook’s advertising revenue in the quarter came from ads on mobile devices, another show of strength. Company executives said video adverSAN FRANCISCO

tising is “exploding” with users now watching more than 4 billion videos on its service every day.

And they talked up Facebook’s “family” of apps — Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp — that are soaring on mobile.

“This quarter ... shows how Facebook is continuing to make progress for the years ahead,” Facebook’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said during a call with Wall Street analysts Wednesday.

Even so, investors came away disappointed in Facebook’s rare revenue miss.

Revenue for the first quarter was $3.54 billion, up 42% from the year-ago quarter. Analysts had forecast revenue of $3.56 billion.

Shares slipped 2% in afterhours trading. Facebook reported its first-quarter results after the market closed.

“We are seeing revenue growth

decelerate and expenses increasing as a percentage of revenue, so people understandably want a better sense when the investments being made are going to contribute notably to revenue growth,” S&P Capital IQ analyst Scott Kessler said.

Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Wehner sought to reassure investors by modestly tightening the company’s expense guidance.

Like other technology companies, Facebook revenue was dragged down by foreign exchange rates. Facebook generates more than half its revenue overseas. Facebook said revenue would have gained 49% had it excluded the effect of currency exchange rates.

“Currency is a big factor because international is a significant portion of Facebook’s revenue,” said eMarketer re-

search analyst Debra Aho Williamson.

Looming even larger were first-quarter costs and expenses, which rose 83% in the first quarter to $2.61 billion.

Research and development spending was $1.06 billion, up from $455 million a year ago. The operating margin fell to 26% from 43%.

Stock compensation charges were also on a tear, rising 157% to $703 million. Facebook said stock-based charges for 2015 would be between $3 billion and $3.5 billion.

Facebook did beat Wall Street forecasts on earnings.

Facebook earned 42 cents a share. Analysts had expected 41 cents a share. Earnings, adjusted for stock option expense and amortization costs, were 18 cents.

Facebook earned 34 cents on revenue of $2.5 billion in the yearago quarter.

“On a broader scale, this is a company that has really been going gangbusters over the last couple of quarters,” Williamson said.

Google signals new plan for wireless With flex, ‘handoff’ Project Fi, customers appear to come first Edward C. Baig @edbaig USA TODAY

NEW YORK This isn’t the first time Google has been a disruptive agent of change. It is, however, potentially one of the most significant.

The Internet powerhouse’s bold foray into the wireless service business on Wednesday through Project Fi has broad implications for Google itself, for the industry it is about to become a part of and, ultimately, for the consumers who might choose to buy in.

Through partnerships with T-

Mobile and Sprint, Google via Project Fi becomes what is known in the wireless industry as an MVNO (mobile GOOGLE virtual network operProject Fi ator). The new phone service promises to aims to leverage the strongest switch possible network users to based on a consum- the best er’s location, and in- available telligently switch network. from one network to another as need be.

That network could be Wi-Fi, through any one of more than 1 million free public hot spots that Google has deemed kosher. Google says your data will be secure.

It might be Sprint’s 4G LTE cellular network. And it might be T-Mobile’s LTE network.

The consumer isn’t supposed to worry about it.

Of course, T-Mobile and Sprint combined are still far behind the dominant U.S. carriers, AT&T and Verizon, the 800pound gorillas of wireless that Google will now battle. What’s more, Google will be charging customers only for the data that is used, crediting back money if people consume less data than they paid for.

The basic Project Fi plan costs $20 a month, which buys unlimited talk, text, Wi-Fi tethering and international coverage in more than 120 countries. On top of that, consumers fork over $10 for each gigabyte of data that is used. But as Google explains, if you paid $30 for 3GB monthly but only use, say, 1.4GB of that data in a given month, the company v STORY CONTINUES ON 5B

Good things might come to those who wait Q: Is McDonald’s safe to buy now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: McDonald’s has missed out on new food trends with consumers — and investors have missed out on the stock market rally. But patient investors might start to see things to love again.

McDonald’s just-released first-quarter earnings report wasn’t pretty. But no one thought it would be. The company reported a quarterly adjusted loss of $1.01 a share, and that’s even after adding back a 17-cents-a-share charge because of strategic changes. Quarterly profit fell nearly 17% from year-ago levels and was at least the fifth-straight quarter the company missed earnings expectations. Quarterly revenue dropped 11%.

Shares of McDonald’s are down about 5% the past year, while the rest of the market is up nearly 20%. Investors, though, cheered the earnings release.

Why? The current management acknowledged it needs to change its recipe, and fast. Investors see value in the stock only if management makes changes to the brand and menu.

New Constructs, a stock research firm that evaluates stock prices next to measured value, rates the stock “attractive.”

But investors need to know this isn’t a fast turnaround. Adjusted earnings are expected to fall 7% this year, says S&P Capital IQ. The payoff should come in 2016, if earnings growth returns to double-digits.

will refund $16.

As it happens, Google isn’t the first to adopt such a concept, but its name-brand recognition ought to bring attention to the practice.

Only this week, Republic Wireless announced it would refund money for unused cellular.

“That was a first and it lasted 48 hours. A win is a win,” says Republic Wireless CEO David Morken. The Republic Wireless $10-a-month plan is built around the notion that most calls would be handled via Wi-Fi.

At the outset, Project Fi will work only with a single handset, the fine Motorola-made Nexus 6 phone that starts at $649. Republic’s service works with three Motorola phones.

For the consumer, there are obvious questions about how Project Fi will function. Most notably, will the “handoffs” from one network to another prove to be as seamless as Google claims?

As can be expected, Sprint and T-Mobile are publicly embracing the partnership. Sprint spokesman John Votava said in a statement that “Sprint has em-

powered more than 100 successful MVNOs in the US by delivering a unique combination of a robust nationwide network, differentiated services and operational support and we are proud to enable Google’s entry into the wireless industry as a service

provider.”

In a blog post, T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere said, “Project Fi is going to make people think differently about wireless — and I love that.”

But whatever T-Mobile and Sprint gain in the short-run, the wireless business is cutthroat.

Have they invited a shark into the fish tank?

Industry analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics says Google is “clearly putting pressure on every other mobile carrier, even the ones they’re partnering with. It’s an ecosphere-wide competition,

and I think there will be quite a few people currently with Sprint or currently with T-Mobile that would be very interested in it.”

Entner points out that Legere in his blog post made mention of a couple of T-Mobile technologies that will not be part of Project Fi, notably HD Voice, and “next-gen Wi-Fi Calling for seamless handoffs between LTE and Wi-Fi.” Would-be Project Fi customers will be able to port over their current phone numbers. And Google says folks who request an invite to try the service should hear back within 30 days.

‘Avengers’ is too much of a good thing

ANDREW H. WALKER, WIREIMAGE

BAD DAY DEREK HOUGH Foot injuries have sidelined the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ pro, and it isn’t yet known if he’ll be able to compete in the next live show on Monday. Hough broke a toe on his right foot, and sprained, and suffered a bone bruise on, his left ankle while rehearsing Monday for the ABC reality dancing competition’s 10th anniversary special.

This packed sequel just can’t save itself

Director Joss Whedon knows how to make a wryly funny, action-packed extravaganza, as he proved with 2012’s The Avengers.

So why did he overstuff the 2½-hour sequel?

Avengers: Age of MOVIE Ultron is a superhero REVIEW saga that likely will CLAUDIA please Marvel devoPUIG tees and fans of the first film. But for the less dialed-in, the fun of watching these top-tier heroes save the universe diminishes with time.

Whedon seem to have forgotten the old maxim: Always leave them wanting more. During the final 20 minutes, we can’t keep from wanting less.

Before Ultron hits the tipping point of franchise fatigue, the banter between its heroic superstars has a sharp snappiness.

BROADWAY BOUND James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson will appear together in a new production of D.L. Coburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning ‘The Gin Game,’ set to begin previews Sept. 21 and open Oct. 13 at the Golden Theatre. The revival will cast Jones and Tyson as a man and woman who meet on the porch of their nursing home and strike up a friendship while he’s teaching her to play Gin Rummy.

Jones and Tyson last appeared on Broadway together in 1986 in ‘A Hand is on the Gate.’

KIM WILLIS AND JULIE SNIDER, USA TODAY

Russell Crowe sits in the director’s chair Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODA

Russell Crowe has trained for this role for decades.

In The Water Diviner (in theaters Friday), Crowe stars as Joshua Connor, an Australian who sets off for Turkey in search of his three sons, who fought in the Battle of Gallipoli. It’s loosely based on a letter found by coscreenwriter Andrew Anastasios that describes a mysterious father who sailed off in search of his son after World War I. But on land, he’s the man behind the camera, too.

“I loved it,” Crowe says of his first time in the director’s chair.

“There’s just nothing at all I’ve ever done creatively that’s anywhere near as deeply satisfying.

It’s all-encompassing.”

He has much to prove with The Water Diviner, an ambitious epic produced without studio coffers.

Crowe lobbied internationally for money and partners. Once he secured the project, which spans Istanbul and Australia, he kept a surgeon-like focus.

“I get to my set and my actors are ready,” he says. “My actors do not waste a minute of the day.”

Olga Kurylenko, who plays Ayshe, his Turkish love interest, says Crowe takes an uncanny interest in filmmaking minutiae.

“Some (directors) leave it to you (to prepare), but he monitors everything,” says the Ukrainianborn actress (and Quantum of Solace Bond girl), noting how Crowe set her up with a Turkish tutor and would drop by her sessions. “He would even tell us how many times he would read every scene to get excellent at it.”

Crowe is aware of his intense reputation. “I know when I talk BEVERLY HILLS

MARK ROGERS, WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Russell Crowe finds himself in deep in the historical drama The Water Diviner, which he stars in and directs.

“If you are not prepared to keep moving forward with it, it’s going to get to a point where your success is simply a memory.” about loving my job, people convert that into somehow taking myself too seriously. But if you’ve ever been with me on a set, (I’ll make) you laugh a split second before ‘Action!’ and then I’ll be as serious as I need to be.”

The Water Diviner took up three years of Crowe’s life, requiring him to backpack the film on top of his roles. After production, he switched gears to promote Darren Aronofsky’s Noah; last year, while playing Amanda Seyfried’s widowed father in Fathers

and Daughters by day, he would head to an edit bay at night.

“I’d be doing my 12 hours on his set, then eight hours with the editor,” Crowe says. “That was pretty heavy for awhile.”

But what does directing really mean, 15 years after Crowe starred in Gladiator? That if the film succeeds, Crowe can write his own ticket — an attractive proposal at 51.

“It never gets less competitive” in Hollywood, he says. “If you are not prepared to keep moving forward with it, it’s going to get to a point where your success is simply a memory. Success requires constant nurturing.”

But with The Water Diviner premiering worldwide and two films in the can, including 1970s detective thriller The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling, “I can work on me,” he says. “I can actually get to a normal routine. I can have a non-adrenalized life. I can eat properly. I can (physically) train for the joy of it.”

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

eegE

STARS Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo DIRECTOR Joss Whedon RATING PG-13 for sci-fi action, violence, destruction and suggestive comments RUNNING TIME 2 hours, 30 minutes Opens April 30 in select cities, May 1 nationwide

Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) decides that a futuristic robot will help keep the world safe. So he creates Ultron (voiced by James Spader) as a sentient peacekeeper. But his plan, fueled by hubris, goes awry.

Ultron proves a super-foe who believes safety will be achieved only when humanity — and the Avengers — are destroyed.

The sequel is darker than the first Avengers with its exploration of acting unilaterally and playing God, as well as its look at our heroes’ deep-seated fears.

The core Avengers of Iron Man, Bruce Banner/the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) come off like a dysfunctional family.

Spader’s villainous Ultron is overbearing, but not very intriguing. Also new to the universe are the genetically enhanced Maximoff twins, clairvoyant Wanda/ Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and speedy Pietro/Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).

Whedon’s strong suits are snarky, fast-paced humor and charismatic characters, and those give Ultron its greatest appeal.

A romance brews between Black Widow and Banner, but it’s too bad she’s relegated to yearning over a guy with explosive bouts of anger. It’s especially disappointing given Whedon’s talent for creating complex female characters (a là his seminal TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Although the plot has moments of murkiness, the spectacle is substantial and the witty company delightful. If only the editing had been tighter.

Players past, present encouraged by Schneider SFA senior says coach discourages ‘robots’ Most coaches, by nature, are control freaks: “Go here. Don’t go there. Do this. Don’t do that.” Almost to a man, coaches who have worked with male and female basketball players say that women follow instruction better.

New Kansas University women’s basketball coach Brandon Schneider said it Tuesday at his colorful introductory news conference. I often have thought following instruction too closely can stunt an individual’s creativity and overall development.

One play in particular stands out in my mind as having shown that detrimental impact on an athlete. It came in the WNIT final at Allen Fieldhouse,

Self: New coach ‘solid’

Because of her Tuesday class schedule, Kansas University women’s basketball point guard Lauren Aldridge — and the rest of the KU women’s team — was unable to attend the news conference introducing new coach Brandon Schneider.

But Aldridge, ever the team leader, made sure to find time later in the day to watch Schneider’s introductory news conference online. As she did, one vision jumped off the screen that she had a difficult time digesting.

“I had just finished a tutoring session,” Aldridge said Wednesday. “And, as I was watching, I thought to myself, ‘He’s got the same haircut as my dad.’”

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

That’s high praise coming from Aldridge, whose father and AAU coach, Steve, is largely responsible for turning her into the competitive bundle of toughness who, as a true freshman last season, led the Jayhawks in minutes played, free-throw percentage and assists while averaging 8.1 points per game.

Bill Self met with new Kansas University women’s basketball coach Brandon Schneider last week when Schneider was on campus for his job interview.

“I was very impressed. He has energy, is very knowledgeable, is very driven.

That was obvious in my talk with him. He’s rock-solid to me,” Self, KU’s men’s coach, said Wednesday, asked about the former Stephen F. Austin coach who held his introductory news conference Tuesday when Self was out of town on a recruiting trip.

“I think the young ladies are going to be really pleased. Certainly, he did an unbelievable job at Stephen F. Austin,” Self added of Schneider, who went 10849 in five years at SFA after compiling a 306-72 mark in 12 seasons at Emporia State.

He led the Hornets to the 2010 NCAA Div. II national title.

Self knew of Schneider’s dad, Bob, before meeting Brandon. Bob Schneider went 1,045-293 in a 43-year career as a high school and college women’s coach in Texas.

“I don’t know if people realize the job and the tradition his father started at Canyon High School,” Self said. “It’s one of the premier basketball programs, not in the state of Texas, but the country. His dad is a legend.

FREE STATE HIGH’S JACK FLYNN CHIPS A SHOT ONTO THE GREEN on the sixth hole of the Free State Invitational on Wednesday at Eagle Bend. Flynn tied for 16th with a 76.

Firebirds not happy with 7th; LHS 11th

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Most of Free State High’s boys golfers were happy with their scores Wednesday but knew they could have done better.

With little to no wind, the conditions were perfect to shoot low scores at the Free State Invitational at Eagle Bend. But a few bad holes hurt the Firebirds, who took seventh place in the team standings. Lawrence High put up its lowest team score of the season and finished 11th.

Washburn Rural won the tournament by 16 strokes over runner-up Shawnee Mission East, and the top six medalists all shot under par.

For his first six holes, Free State junior Jack Flynn looked poised to keep up with the tournament’s top players, sitting at 2-under par.

But then he fell apart for a five-hole stretch starting at hole No. 10 with two bogeys and two double bogeys.

“I kind of just blew it there,” Flynn said. “I hurried things up and got rushed. …

Probably my driving is what

really hurt me. The thing is, out here you can drive it anywhere pretty much and still be all right. I just didn’t get as far as I wanted to.”

Flynn finished with a team-best 76, tying for 16th place. It has only the second time he’s finished outside of the top 10 in Free State’s five tournaments to date, but he’s not satisfied.

“Not very happy, honestly,” said Flynn, who is still working on his putting, though it improved Wednesday. “I should be playing a lot better. I’ve had a couple of

good tournaments, but other ones I’ve suffered.”

Free State freshman Tate Steele turned in his best round of the year, tying for 19th after shooting a 77.

However, he was a little disappointed with his putting and even went back to the putting green after his round to get more practice.

“I’m just not good with distance, I guess, with putting” said Steele, who switched drivers before Wednesday’s tournament, and he guessed Please see GOLF, page 3C

Guthrie wild in Royals’ 3-0 setback

KANSAS CITY’S LORENZO CAIN IS HIT BY A PITCH from Minnesota starter Mike Pelfrey during the fifth inning of the Royals’ 3-0 loss Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Even with a gift out, Jeremy Guthrie was too wild for his own good.

Guthrie matched a career high by walking six and also hit a batter as the Kansas City Royals lost to the Minnesota Twins 3-0 Wednesday night.

Guthrie (0-1) gave up three runs in the first inning. Overall, he allowed six hits in five innings. Only

half of his 98 pitches were for strikes.

“It’s real uncharacteristic of Jeremy,” manager Ned Yost said. “The veteran pitcher in him allowed him to keep us in the game through five and get us in a spot where we can manage it. Three runs is not an insurmountable lead.”

“It’s one of those games, but Jeremy doesn’t panic.

He will bend at times, but

not break. He doesn’t freak out he can’t find his command,” he said.

The Twins scored all their runs in the first on three hits, two walks and a hit batter. Brian Dozier and Kennys Vargas had RBI singles and Oswaldo Arcia was hit with the bases loaded.

The Twins loaded the bases in the second on Torii Hunter’s double and walks to Joe Mauer and Dozier.

Hunter took off from third, trying for a straight steal of home, and was out.

“Hopefully you get miracles,” Guthrie said. “Stolen bases (outs) with the bases loaded and their best hitter up. Stuff like that.”

Mike Pelfrey (1-0) pitched seven scoreless innings to pick up his first victory since 2013. l Box score on page 4C

Games talk: Self on Wednesday said the Jayhawks would begin practicing for the World University Games “right when summer school starts, the week of June 7, sometime around there.”

He said he had no news on if he’d hold tryouts or issue invitations for any available spots on the 12-player U.S./KU roster for the Games, July 3-14 in South Korea.

“I’ll get organized on that after recruiting is done. We don’t know what our full complement of players will be,” Self said. “I’m still working on that. I don’t know yet.”

KU currently has 10 scholarship players, including incoming freshman Carlton Bragg, who will compete in the Games. Freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk cannot play on the team because he is not a U.S. citizen.

River City Festival field loaded

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High baseball players were thrilled with their victory against top-ranked Olathe East on Monday, but their competition doesn’t get much easier this weekend.

The Firebirds will open play against Omaha (Nebraska) Creighton Prep in the River City Baseball Festival at 7:15 p.m. today at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Thirty-five teams across four states will converge on Lawrence this weekend for the 14th-

annual festival, including five teams from last year’s Kansas Class 6A state baseball tournament.

“There’s no doubt there’s some really, really strong competition,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said.

“If you can come into the event off a victory, that certainly helps, but it’s only as good as it lasts. If we go out and don’t play well Thursday night, then it really doesn’t matter what we did on Monday. But I think it gives the kids a little boost of confidence.”

The Firebirds (82, ranked No. 5 in the coaches poll) are on a four-game winning streak

and are looking forward to their next test: three games in three days.

Creighton Prep (14-3) is ranked No. 2 in Nebraska’s Class A. “I certainly think it’s one of the highlights of the season,” Hill said.

“Not only for our kids but frankly the kids across this region. It’s turned into what’s arguably one of the premier, if not THE premier, high school baseball event in this part of the country.”

Free State will also play Springfield (Missouri) Kickapoo on Friday and Nixa (Missouri) on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Lawrence High (2-8) will open against Blue Valley Northwest at 5 tonight at Hoglund Ballpark.

The Lions haven’t won a game in the festival since 2012, but they’re always up for the challenge of playing top teams.

“We always tell the kids, ‘To win a state tournament, you have to win three games against three quality opponents,’” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.

“We always try to treat it like that and have a mini state tournament in the middle of the season.”

LHS will play Jefferson City (Missouri) on Friday

and St. James Academy on Saturday as it looks to turn its season around and end a three-game losing streak. One of the biggest challenges will be getting strong outings from starting pitchers to limit the workload for the bullpen.

“It’s just amazing the amount of talent that comes in here,” Stoll said.

“It’s nice because you play the Sunflower League teams every year, so it’s always kind of fun to have three teams in the River City who are someone you don’t have a chance to play every year.”

Keegan

battling against some of the best women’s college basketball coaches in the nation. Will he succeed?

“You have to look at the pattern,” Alexander said. “Coach Brandon has been successful everywhere he’s been. Given time to establish an environment, there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll be successful at Kansas.”

Alexander has charisma that extends through the phone lines from Nacogdoches, Texas. She’s an expert on the topic.

Does Schneider have it?

“Coach Brandon, he’s honestly one of the funniest people I’ve ever met,” Alexander said. “Once you know him, he’s outgoing and hilarious, so I would give him that, yes.”

Former Lawrence High basketball star Haley Parker, a born winner of a point guard, got to know Schneider when he recruited her to Emporia State, but by the time she started classes, he was in his first year at Stephen F. Austin.

“He recruited me since junior high,” said Parker, who lives in Lawrence and works as an emergency-room nurse at Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka.

“He was great,” Parker said of Schneider as a recruiter. “He went to several of my games during the summertime and during the school year, and he would call me every once in a while to check in. He would ask how I was doing at school, what I like to do for fun. He was really easy to talk to and seemed like he cared a lot about his players.”

Anderson painted a similar picture of her recruitment and was able to experience whether playing for him was what she envisioned when he was recruiting her.

“Everything and more,”

Anderson said. “He really takes care of his athletes.

And when we get a transfer who comes in, they’ll always say, ‘Man, our coach didn’t do that for us.’ He for sure cares about us on and off the court, which is awesome.”

On the topic of transfers, Anderson said that in her four years, just one player transferred from Stephen F. Austin.

That says a great deal for a coach who works his players extremely hard.

Asked to name Schneider’s greatest strength, Anderson gave a thoughtful answer.

“Knowing his players’ personalities,” Anderson said. “He’s really good at reading people and knowing what different players respond to. Like me, I don’t like to be yelled at. I don’t respond to that. So he’ll come up to me and talk to me to make his point, and I appreciate that. Some other players, he’ll scream at them, get them angry to motivate them because he knows that will make them play better. Every player is not going to respond the same way to how you come at them.”

Schneider has not assembled his staff yet, but it’s safe to assume one former assistant coach of his won’t be on it. The former Ali Sprague played for Schneider, worked for him as an assistant coach/ recruiting coordinator and eventually changed her name to Ali Schneider. Brandon and Ali Schneider passed along athletic genes to their sons, Cole, 5, and Cash, 3. They won’t be in high school for a long while, but that won’t stop backers of Lawrence’s two high schools from trying to persuade the Schneiders to move either north or south of the 15th Street dividing line. It’s never too early to recruit.

Wednesday, Schneider did something more than sound impressive in a news conference or greet his women with enthusiasm at the first team meeting. He backed up all of the things he had said in the past 36 hours with one simple gesture.

“He popped his head into both the guard and the post workouts,” Aldridge said. “It was really cool to see him do that, knowing how busy he is right now.”

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR REBECCA FINLEY, LEFT, SITS with senior basketball player Marissa Pope during a letterof-intent signing Wednesday at LHS. Finley signed with Div. 1 Colorado State. Pope will play at Cowley County Community College.

Lions’ Finley ‘excited’ by CSU

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior Rebecca Finley has always been a dominant thrower in track and field since she started competing in the sport in the fourth grade.

She always figured she’d have a chance to compete in college.

On Wednesday afternoon, Finley made that dream a reality when she signed with Colorado State University and held her signing ceremony in the LHS library.

“I was really excited,” said Finley, who was sporting a CSU long-sleeve shirt.

“I was really nervous, too, just because I knew a lot of people would be here. But it was cool.”

Finley ranks among the best throwers in school history, taking second place in the discus at the Class 6A state meet for the past two years behind her twin sister, Matia.

She finished sixth in her freshman year.

In the shot put, she finished eighth at the state meet as a sophomore and seventh last year.

“Throwing comes easily to these two,” LHS track and field coach Jack Hood said about the Finley twins. “Classwork … I didn’t know what kind of work ethic Rebecca had.

I had her in class, and it amazed me how much effort she was willing to put in to be a good student.

To me that matters as much as anything else.”

Finley grew up in Salida, Colorado, and still travels back to Colorado in the summer after the

he hit around 15 fairways.

Sophomore Jack Junge tied for 28th, shooting a 78, while senior Matt Siler shot a season-best 80.

“I think we played really well,” FSHS coach Matt Gudenkauf said.

“I’m very happy with the score. Unfortunately, this was a tough tournament.”

Lawrence High was led

by Dawson Dykes, who shot a 80 to tie for 41st place. Garrett Wildeman

track and field season ends. She chose Colorado State over runner-up San Diego State because of familiarity with the area and a coach she believes can push her to the next level in her throwing career.

She broke the LHS school record in the discus last year, shattering the old mark by more than six feet. One week later, Matia Finley broke her sister’s record and still holds the mark. Hood said it has always been easy to coach the Finley twins, but his proudest moment coaching Rebecca was the way she bounced back after she lost the school record so quickly.

“She got up determined to do something about it,” Hood said. “She started being more consistent in the shot (put), more consistent in the discus, she got in weights class. …

She doesn’t give up and she continues to push on.”

Finley has always been confident she’d compete at the collegiate level. Her older brother, Mason, was a two-time Big 12 outdoor champion shot-putter at Kansas University, and he set the national high school record in the discus, which also helped put attention on the accomplishments of his younger sisters. Matia Finley is still undecided on her college destination.

“My dad always said, like, if we didn’t do track in college, we’d be flipping burgers,” Finley joked. “I had no choice.”

LHS senior Marissa Pope also signed her letter of intent to play basketball at Cowley County.

about Schneider’s gamecoaching style.

“I feel like he does his coaching in practice, so that when we get in the game we know what to do,” Anderson said.

“Sometimes during a game, if one of us looks at him when we’re on offense, he’ll say, ‘Don’t look at me. Players make plays. I don’t want you to be robots.’”

The women’s game too often has a robotic feel to it, as if every move is scripted by the coach. It’s no way to get the best out of skilled scorers, who flourish when they read the situation and make creative decisions based on what they see and what they feel.

“We always looked to run,” Anderson said. “And if that wasn’t there, we had a structure, but out of that you can make plays.

He didn’t micromanage us. He gave us freedom.

He has that trust to know that we’re going to make it happen when it comes down to it.”

Stephen F. Austin freshman Charisma Alexander took the news of her coach’s departure hard.

“It was heartbreaking because he always said he was like our father, and he was like a father figure to me,” Alexander said. “He respected us on and off the court. He made working hard enjoyable. But I’m excited for him, very happy for him, especially since he has a history in Kansas.”

At Emporia State, Schneider won an NCAA Div. II national title in 2010. At Stephen F. Austin, he won Southland Conference titles the past two seasons. Now he’ll be

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Mets win 10th straight The Associated Press

National League Mets 3, Braves 2 New York — Lucas Duda hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that sent New York to its 10th consecutive victory Wednesday night.

Wilmer Flores hit a tying homer and an RBI single for the Mets (123), on their longest winning streak since taking 10 straight in July 2008.

Another victory in the series finale this afternoon would match the team record of 11 in a row — last accomplished in 1990 — and complete a perfect 10-game run on their first homestand of the season.

Despite injuries to several key players, New York is off to its best start since the 1986 World Series champions opened 13-3.

Interleague D’backs 8, Rangers 5 Phoenix — Archie Bradley shook off a shaky start to pitch six effective innings, lifting Arizona past Texas.

Bradley (2-0) walked five in the first three innings, including one that scored a run, but proved to be effectively wild, holding the Rangers to a run and two hits. He is the fifth pitcher since 1914 to allow two hits or fewer in six-plus innings in two of his first three big-league starts.

Chris Owings homered off Yovani Gallardo (21) and had a run-scoring single for the Diamondbacks. Mark Trumbo also drove in two runs and shortstop Nick Ahmed made some nifty defensive plays to help Arizona turn four double plays.

Mother puzzled by school’s response to suicide Dear Annie: Last week, our son came home from high school and told us that a boy at his school had killed himself. The boy had been a friend of his since the fifth grade.

The school had a moment of silence over the public address system, but never mentioned the boy’s name. Most of the details about the suicide are nonexistent, although there are a few things mentioned on a website asking for help paying for funeral costs. Students who didn’t know the suicide victim are guessing it was caused by bullying.

Our son says that’s not true. Some students are even saying the fund requests are a scam.

We haven’t heard anything about whether the school is offering grief counseling.

We’ve talked to our son

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

about the tragedy and are trying our best to help him. Because the students have no information, they are making wild guesses and placing uninformed posts on social media.

My question is why is this tragedy so secret?

Should the school do more? — Sad Mom Dear Sad: Sometimes, the school is illequipped to deal with such tragedies and does nothing, which tends to create a whirlwind

Women dominate on ‘Vikings’ “Vikings” (9 p.m., History) wraps up its third season. This year, we’ve seen a curious blend of religious pondering and good old-fashioned ultraviolence. The depiction of the eighth-century siege of Paris a few episodes back was suitably epic in scale and featured a bloodied cast of thousands, or at least hundreds.

For all of the medieval headbashing, “Vikings” has become a showcase for strong and scheming female characters.

Not to give too much away, but last week Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) proved that sneaking into Paris made a whole lot more sense than a frontal assault on a walled city.

On the other side of the battlements, King Charles (Lothaire Bluteau) may be a total wimp, but his feisty daughter Princess Gisela (Morgane Polanski) has become a rallying force.

These steely women have not only become military forces to be reckoned with, they’ve added some oomph to a series a tad too bogged down in Ragnar’s (Travis Fimmel) spiritual quest and obsession with the martyred monk Athelstan (George Blagden), a man-crush so allencompassing, he may even become a Christian, much to the horror of his fellow Vikings.

This Norse soap saga has much of the appeal of “Game of Thrones” but without that fantasy’s ludicrously complicated plotting. I like a drama you don’t need a flowchart or an app to figure out. I guess I’m old-fashioned that way.

Tonight’s other highlights O Underground in a gambling den on “Bones” (7 p.m. Fox).

O After a gruesome accident, Derek rises to the occasion on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC).

O A man with a sketchy past (Aaron Douglas) takes a peculiar interest in a grieving teacher (Jes Macallan) in the 2014 mystery “The Mentor” (7 p.m., LMN).

O Billy Crystal (“The Comedians”) and Bette Midler star in the 2012 comedy “Parental Guidance” (7 p.m., FX).

O Mellie may be washed up on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC).

O A killer appears to be linked to an abduction on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

O Aliyah makes a statement on “American Crime” (9 p.m., ABC).

Please be aware of the following: 1. The IRS does not initiate contact by telephone. They use certified mail.

2. Legitimate government agencies have an 800 number.

3. The IRS will not arrest anyone over the phone. If an arrest is required, it will be after lengthy legal processes have been exhausted.
