The top 5 issues left for lawmakers to wrap up Statehouse Live Budget, tax reform decisions loom when Legislature reconvenes this week

K

ansas lawmakers return to the Statehouse on Wednesday to wrap up the 2016 legislative session, and GOP leaders are hoping to keep it short, within the “traditional” three to seven days.

There’s a built-in

incentive to keep it short this year. Under Kansas law, incumbent legislators are prohibited from accepting campaign contributions from lobbyists before “sine die,” the ceremonial end of the session, which is currently scheduled for June 1.

With many of them facing primary election challenges in August, nobody is eager to drag out this session any longer than necessary.

But before they can leave, lawmakers have several items that must be addressed, and a few

Kansas lawmakers take a break in April and return for the wrap-up session.

During that interim, agency officials team up with some independent economists to look at how revenues have been

more “sleeper” issues that could disrupt the process. So here’s a look at the top issues to watch as the 2016 session winds to a close.

Lawrence jobs up slightly in March

M

arch brought some new jobs both for Kansas and Lawrence, although the new numbers show most of Lawrence’s job growth continues to come from government job growth rather than private-sector gains.

Here’s a look at some job numbers as recently reported by the Kansas Department of Labor:

Kansas Bioscience Authority Although it hasn’t received as much attention as some of the other issues this year, Gov. Brownback is still urging lawmakers to liquidate the state’s holdings in the KBA, a quasi-public entity established in 2004 to make investments in startup bioscience companies, primarily in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

In fact, built into all of the budget projections being considered by the Legislature is an assumption that the state will receive about $25 million from the sale of those assets. KBA’s most recent financial statement, however, places the net value of those assets at about $83 million.

A bill authorizing the sale of those assets has passed the Senate and is now pending in the House.

‘Sleeper issues’ In addition to those items, a number of other issues are lying dormant in the Legislature that could come up at any time.

Among those is a “transgender bathroom” measure that would require students in public schools and colleges to use the bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificates. Similar bills were recently signed into law in North Carolina and Mississippi, sparking national and international backlash.

Also lying dormant, at least for the time being, is a bill, narrowly passed by the Senate, that lays out possible grounds for impeaching Supreme Court justices and other constitutional officers.

That bill is now sitting in the House Judiciary Committee where Chairman John Barker, R-Abilene, has said he has no plans to hold hearings on it.

Nevertheless, it still could be resurrected by other means such as attaching it as an amendment onto any other bill dealing with the court system.

South Middle School program lets kids explore

Reduce, reuse, re-diculous

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

John Young/Journal-World Photo

It isn’t often that students are told they can choose what they want to learn about. When South Middle School students were given the option, it resulted in some interesting topics — everything from go-karts to chocolate chip cookies to college basketball.

This semester, seventhgrade students at South worked on projects of their own invention as part of the Genius Project.

Students, working individually or as a team, sought to design a computer game, create a website, build a go-kart or come up with a healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe. The question posed to students was simple, said seventhgrade teacher Tara Zelvy.

“If you could learn anything you wanted to learn, what would you do?” Zelvy said. “Is there a problem in this world that you wish you could solve?”

Genius CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

One team of students began with the common interest of Kansas University basketball. What began with an effort to better understand the NCAA’s player eligibility requirements expanded to the students tracking potential recruits and making their own videos on the topic.

Eventually, the team decided to put all their material on a website. Isaac Steiner, 12, was one of the students involved in the project, and said that he was happy with what his group was able to accomplish.

said. Hawk Link, housed at KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, is an academic enrichment program designed for students of color in their first year at KU. “We are delighted to welcome Stephonn in this new role and to congratulate him,” the chancellor said.

In other recent KU student news: l Beckman Scholars named: KU has announced its new Beckman Scholars for 2016. They are Kathryn Brewer, a junior from

Overland Park majoring in chemistry, and Collin Clay, a sophomore from Edmond, Okla., majoring in chemistry. This is just the second year for this scholarship program (a large one — each scholar receives a total of $21,000 via stipend and travel and supply funds over the course of the 15-month program, according to KU), aimed at supporting undergraduate research.

Brewer and Clay are researching things such as a “siderophore biosynthetic enzyme” in E. coli and

“small molecule probes” in biochemical pathways, according to KU. l A first for Mock Trial: KU’s Mock Trial club just wrapped up a season of “unprecedented success,” team representative Robert Santamarina, a sophomore from Overland Park, said.

For the first time in team history, KU Mock Trial competed at the American Mock Trial Association National Championship Tournament, held last weekend in Greenville, S.C. KU

“It was pretty cool because of the fact that we are only like 12 and 13,” he said. “We made a whole website and it had decent videos on it.”

Isaac said he didn’t have much experience with video before working on the website, and doing the project helped him realize that video editing is something he likes.

“I think it’s kind of cool that you can explore anything you want,” he said.

“It kind of gives you more of a creative, exploring side rather than just sitting in school and learning about stuff from a textbook.”

Zelvy and five other teachers at South — Kelly Hart, Beth Weishaar,

Stephanie Coleman, Whitney Farrell and Cathy Hilliard — initiated the projects, which students worked on over the course of nine weeks during their guided studies period. Zelvy said that regardless of the topic, the projects required students to come up with alternatives when their ideas didn’t work as planned.

“We had to work on the concept of ‘failing forward,’” Zelvy said. “That didn’t work so what can we do about it? This is harder than we thought, so who can we bring in to help us?”

The Genius Project will continue at South next school year, and students will have additional resources to work

with. The project was recently awarded a $2,000 grant from the Lawrence Schools Foundation to purchase additional supplies for projects.

Zelvy said the grant will be used to buy supplies such as building materials, robotics kits and engineering hardware. As a teacher, Zelvy said the grant addresses one of the biggest challenges she faced.

“We needed lumber, and we needed bike wheels and gears and bike chains,” she said. “…Things that just aren’t in a middle school curriculum.”

drawn, complete with college courses and job openings. My parents see their friends’ children becoming lawyers, surgeons or specialists, and they expect me to do the same. Even my teachers and friends give me doubtful looks when I tell them what I want to do.

But let’s say that I cut ties with my parents and take college classes in physics and astronomy and don’t get into NASA. Medicine is a solid field.

“Mike & Molly” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) returns to conclude its sixth and final season. This series has coincided with the rise of Melissa McCarthy to boxoffice stardom in such films as “Bridesmaids” and “Spy.” But CBS does not own the (Warner Bros.-produced) series and has decided to let it go after bouncing it around its schedule for some time.

There are many examples of actors who left television to become m o v i e stars. Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jamie Foxx and Will Smith come to mind — and too many “Saturday Night Live” stars to mention. Many actors migrate from movies to TV stardom, particularly later in their career. But has a network ever canceled a series featuring a performer (like McCarthy) when he or she was a major box-office draw?

The team takes on a former colleague-turned-kidnapper on the second season finale of “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS, TV14). This gimmicky thriller was among 11 series renewed by CBS last month. As stated earlier, “Supergirl,” perhaps the most anticipated new network show of this season and a natural partner for the comic-booky “Scorpion,” has yet to learn its fate.

“Lucifer” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) concludes its truncated season tonight with our hero (Tom Ellis) framed for murder.

The whole notion of an eternal, supernatural and all-powerful character reduced to a mere detective and buddy-cop sidekick never quite clicked.

Despite a premise every bit as flimsy as “Second Chances,” “Lucifer” is among the series that Fox has already renewed.

They include two other freshman series, the strenuously harmless “Rosewood” and the shrill “Scream Queens.”

Performance artist and electronic music pioneer Laurie Anderson channels grief for a lost pet into reflections on life, the afterlife and tributes to her many influences in the 2015 documentary “Heart of A Dog” (8 p.m., HBO).

Tonight’s other highlights

The top 11 sing to survive on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

Strange can’t handle scrutiny on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

“Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings) travels all the way to Omaha to find New York Yankees-themed memorabilia.

Norman returns from a journey of discovery on “Bates Motel” (8 p.m., A&E, TV-14).

Stuck in 2016 on “12 Monkeys” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV-14).

A survivor of poisoning poses a mystery on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Dear Annie: I am 15 years old and I love your column. Here’s my problem: Ever since I was a little girl, I had one dream — to become an astronaut. I would gaze at the stars for hours each night, and I learned everything I could from books.

However, my parents have always drilled into me that I was to become a doctor or lawyer. They are very strict, and I always have obeyed them.

I believe they do this for my benefit. My parents grew up poor. They want me to make heaps of money so I will want for nothing.

Difficult issue Fair and effective handling of sexual assault reports poses a tough challenge for KU and other universities.

K

ansas University must give top priority to addressing reports that are making it at least appear that KU students face an unusually high risk of being sexually assaulted.

In the last six weeks, three lawsuits have been filed against KU related to two alleged sexual assaults in 2014 and 2015 in Jayhawker Towers. In both cases, the women student athletes say KU failed to properly investigate their reports and to protect them against retaliation from their coaches. The KU football player who the two women say assaulted them was expelled but not until this year.

A recent report from the Clery Center for Security on Campus, which was the focus of a Journal-World story earlier this month, also raised questions about campus safety. The report showed there were more sexual assault reports at KU in 2014 than at any other Big 12 school except the much larger University of Texas. During that year, 32 instances of forcible sex offenses — defined as rape or fondling — were reported on or near the KU campus.

This is a difficult problem, and KU is not alone. Two lawsuits also were filed earlier this week against Kansas State University by women students who allege the university refused to investigate their rapes and other sexual assaults in off-campus fraternity houses.

A total of 173 postsecondary schools are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for their handling of sexual violence investigations. Privacy issues make it difficult for KU and other universities to publicly comment on their handling of the cases or defend themselves against criticism.

There’s more than one way to look at the Clery statistics. Do they indicate there are more sexual assaults at KU than at other campuses, or does KU have more reports because it provides services and support that make students more willing to report assaults? Maybe the fact that KU is focusing on preventing and responding to sexual assaults actually increases the number of reports.

Most of the 32 assaults in the Clery report apparently were reported only to university officials, such as those in KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which investigates reports of sexual assault separately from police. Statistics from the KU Office of Public Safety show only seven sex crime reports during 2014.

The relationship between law enforcement and the university may be important to proper handling of these cases. In many cases, women wait for months or even years to report their assaults, making their cases more difficult to investigate. Maybe KU officials should open a dialogue with local police and prosecutors to discuss how these reports can be handled in a better, more timely manner.

Prevention obviously is the best answer, and KU officials are working to raise awareness through a number of steps including the opening this spring of the KU Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. Those are positive actions, but KU also needs to work with its peer institutions and law enforcement to address this problem before it has a serious negative impact on the university’s reputation.

U.S. must shine light on Saudi policy How do you solve a problem like Saudi Arabia?

President Barack Obama’s visit to Saudi Arabia last week will have little impact on the mounting American hostility toward the Saudis. Now that the United States is no longer dependent on Riyadh for oil, U.S. officials feel free to vent the pent-up anger that has been building for years.

The most recent example is the bill in Congress that would allow Americans to sue the Saudi government if it was found to have played a role in the Sept. 11 attacks — 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudis. Meantime, Obama may finally release 28 redacted pages of a 2002 congressional report on the attacks that may or may not implicate some Saudi officials.

Mind you, the 9/11 Commission found no evidence that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials funded the attack. And if habi variant of Islam around the world.

“

“Aren’t the Saudis your friends?” the president was asked.

“It’s complicated,” Obama supposedly replied. True.

But that doesn’t explain why presidents from both parties have gone along with Saudi proselytizing for decades.

The answer, of course, is that, in the past, the Saudis provided things that U.S. presidents wanted. Of course there was oil, and — with some spectacular exceptions — the Saudis kept prices stable and supplies flowing.

And there was money: the Saudis helped Ronald Reagan finance the Afghan war against the Soviets (even though they funneled the funds to the worst Afghan fundamentalist groups). The Saudis also paid for most of the first Gulf War. They make huge purchases of U.S. weapons.

And even today — at a time when Americans want Mideast rulers to take greater responsibility for stabilizing their region — presidential candidates from both U.S. political parties are urging the Saudis to do more to fight the Islamic State. Never mind that what the Saudis have done already has only made the civil war in Syria — and Yemen — worse.

So how do you solve a problem like Saudi Arabia? I wish I had an answer.

Get issues into open But for starters, it’s time to get the problem out into the public sphere.

Obama should release the 28 redacted pages, so the public can finally see if there is any smoke. Even the Saudis have been asking for years to have the pages declassified.

Beyond that, this White House and the next must get realistic about what to expect from Saudi Arabia.

It would be lovely to imagine that Saudi rulers could “find an effective way to share the neighborhood and institute some sort of cold peace (with Iran),” as Obama urged in the Atlantic Monthly. But this ain’t going to happen anytime soon, not just because the Sunni Saudis fear and loathe Iran’s Shiite ayatollahs, but because the feeling is mutual.

No miracles Rather than hope for miracles, the next president should assume that a larger regional role for the Saudis will only increase the level of sectarian conflict — until Riyadh and Tehran finally tire of this folly. U.S. policy will have to accept this hard truth. If that happy day comes when both sides are ready for a truce, the Saudis should be pressured to help finance the reconstruction of Syria and Yemen.

But long before that, the next president should promote an intensified debate within both Western and Muslim countries on how to prevent Saudi proselytizing from poisoning the minds of innumerable young Muslims.

“There is a violent, radical, fanatical, nihilistic interpretation of Islam by a faction — a tiny faction — within the Muslim community that is our enemy, and that has to be defeated,” Obama told the Atlantic.

The Saudis must be discouraged from helping that faction to grow.

PUBLIC FORUM

Money well-spent To the editor: Three recent news articles caught my eye. On April 16, the Washington Post listed the 50 top political contributors, their professions and party affiliations. The next day, the KC Star ran an op-ed piece from Nicholas Kristof (NYTimes) about corporate welfare.

The third, in the April 18 JournalWorld, I’ll get to in a moment.

First, Kristoff: For every dollar the 50 largest corporations paid in taxes between 2008 and 2014, they got back, in federal loans, guarantees, and bailouts — drum roll please — $27. Pretty good return, $1 makes $27. But, apparently it cost them something — lobbyists. You have to spend money to make money, but once again, not a bad return. For every lobbying dollar spent, these top 50 got a return of $130 in tax breaks and $4,000 in loans, guarantees and bailouts.

The Washington Post wrote that the top 50 political contributors, totaling $249 million came largely from the ranks of hedge fund managers, banking/insurance, and the oil and gas industry. Thirteen are Democrats, one is independent,and 36 identify as Republicans.

The third article reports that 900 people were arrested in D.C. “who are protesting the influence of money in politics.” The organizing group, De-

Senate, Clinton’s most notable vote was to authorize the use of force against Iraq. l Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state began with the reset button debacle with Russia and ended with the deceit regarding Benghazi. In between, she demonstrated a gross disregard for the laws and regulations governing the handling of classified material.

What a waste! Doing “Top 50” math, if the protesters had spent their money on lobbyists, each $50 investment would return $200,000 in government benefits.

Sharp rebuke to establishment parties Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

A right-wing, anti-immigrant party candidate won the most votes Sunday in the first round of Austria’s presidential election, followed by an independent candidate, reflecting the mood of a nation deeply divided over Europe’s migrant crisis.

The results are a stunning rebuke to Austria’s center-left So-

cial Democrats and the centrist People’s Party that have dominated the country’s politics for the last 70 years. They failed to even make it to next month’s runoff.

Preliminary final results show Norbert Hofer, of Austria’s farright Freedom Party, held about 35% of the vote, followed by independent candidate Alexander Van der Bellen, with 20% of the vote. Imgard Griss, another independent candidate, won about 18% of the vote, the Associated

Press reported. Hofer and Van der Bellen will face each other May 22. The runoff vote was triggered because no candidate won more than half the vote.

Like much of Europe, Austrians are deeply divided over the refugee crisis impacting the continent as migrants have fled the war in Syria and elsewhere.

Hofer, who has carried a pistol with him on the campaign trail, argued that a rise in gun ownership in Austria is a natural reaction to the migrant crisis. Van der Bellen, who is the child of refugees who fled Estonia after the

former Soviet Union’s annexation, has opposed efforts to limit refugees.

The Social Democrats and People’s Party have ruled Austria since 1945, in which one of the parties’ members has always held the presidency. The Social Democrats’ Rudolf Hundstorfer and the People Party’s Andreas Khol each won about 11% of the vote, according to the AP. The Austrian presidency is largely a ceremonial post, but the defeat of the country’s establishment parties is, nonetheless, significant.

LEXINGTON, KY. Mitch McConnell squared off against Donald Trump for control of the Kentucky delegation that will help pick the Republican presidential nominee, and McConnell won.

The Senate majority leader heads the slate of 25 party leaders picked by the Kentucky GOP at its state convention Saturday, even though Trump’s campaign won the March 5 caucus.

It’s was similar story at other GOP state conventions over the weekend, as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz continued to outmaneuver Trump in the all-important delegate selection process that could decide the GOP nominee if the conven-

In Maine, Cruz loyalists secured 19 of the 20 delegates — even though Cruz won only 46% of the vote in the March 5 caucus. And in Utah, where Cruz won 70% of the March 22 caucus vote, Cruz was already guaranteed the support of

the 30 delegates on the first ballot.

HANNOVER , GERMANY President Obama has approved sending an additional 250 U.S. military personnel to Syria to help opposition forces battle the Islamic State, an administration official confirmed Sunday.

Obama is expected to make the announcement Monday in a speech here as he completes a week-long foreign trip.

The U.S. personnel will not be engaged in direct combat but will advise the units and can help coordinate airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition, the official said.

DAN KITWOOD, GETTY IMAGES

President Obama repeated his reluctance to create a “safe zone” in Syria for the thousands of people fleeing the fighting.

The 250 would join 50 U.S. advisers the White House had earlier authorized for Syria, where they are helping a patchwork of Kurdish and Arab fighters battling the Islamic State in northeastern Syria. There is no timeline yet for deploying the new forces.

The administration official asked not be named because the announcement has not yet been made.

The additional personnel for Syria follows last week’s announcement to send another 217 military personnel to Iraq, where U.S. forces are training and advising Iraqi forces.

“The issue for us is identifying yet more ways to accelerate the campaign” against the Islamic State, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said recently.

At a news conference Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Obama repeated his reluctance to create a “safe zone” in Syria for the thousands of people fleeing the conflict because it would require a large military commitment and ground troops.

“Sadly, it is very difficult to see how it would operate short of us essentially being willing to militarily take over a chunk of that country,” he said.

Michaels reported from Purcellville, Va.

Koch: It’s ‘possible’ Clinton would make better president Industrialist has long supported libertarian, conservative candidates Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, whose political spending has fueled libertarian causes and conservative candidates for decades, said Sunday that it’s “possible” Democrat Hillary Clinton would make a better president than the Republican nominee.

He quickly qualified that in

order to support her, “we would have to believe her actions would be quite different than her rhetoric.” But he said that’s no different from some of the Republican candidates whose rhetoric he criticized.

Hillary Clinton quickly rebuffed his support on Twitter: “Not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote.”

In an interview with ABC’s

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Charles Koch, chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, has been critical of Donald Trump’s campaign.

Jonathan Karl that aired Sunday, Koch also was highly critical of Donald Trump’s campaign, even if he hasn’t contributed to the “Stop Trump” movement.

One concern: Trump’s campaign promise to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “What was worse was this, ‘We’ll have them all register,’ ” Koch said. “That’s reminiscent of Nazi Germany. I mean, that’s monstrous.”

He also criticized Sen. Ted Cruz’s pledge to “carpet bomb” Syria. Though he said Cruz was likely engaging in hyperbole to appeal to voters, he called the prospect “frightening.”

Though Koch’s political spending benefits Republican candidates, he’s long made clear he adheres more to limited-government principles than the establishment party platform.

And he’s sometimes praised Democratic presidents and criticized Republican ones, saying in some ways Bill Clinton was a better president than George W. Bush.

“I mean, he wasn’t an exemplar,” Koch said. “But as far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, on restrictive regulations, it was two and half times under Bush than it was under Clinton.”

Collision melds tech show, quirky fun Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

NEW ORLEANS An influential tech gathering during the spring in a city known for its music, food and bohemian culture.

Austin’s South by Southwest?

No. Meet the new contender in tech’s trade show wars.

If the Consumer Electronics Show is considered the Super Bowl of tech shows and SXSW is Spring Break for Geeks, consider Collision not just the anti-CES but a stealth threat to SXSW’s long-term dominance.

And it just might eventually supplant SXSW. First, though, a quick explanation of the tech trade-show season, a geeked-up version of the red carpet awards gauntlet in Hollywood leading to the Academy Awards.

It’s a four-month slog, stretching from Las Vegas and Barcelona to Austin and San Francisco, that helps define the contenders and pretenders in tech.

The circuit starts at CES, the bloated consumer-electronics bacchanal in Las Vegas that kicks off the tech show season in January with interminable lines and more than 100,000 people.

Next stop, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a showcase

The Collision conference takes place in New Orleans this week. for new smartphones and the latest in virtual reality in February. SXSW follows in Austin in mid-March — around the same time Apple, Facebook and Google begin to stage events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

“There are events all the time,” says Adam Miller, CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand, developer of HR technology. “Collision is a nice mix of the big and small shows.”

Somewhere into this slog of shows falls Collision, the concoction of Irish tech entrepreneur and futurist Paddy Cosgrave.

“Paddy is building the next SXSW,” says Oisin Hanrahan, CEO of Handy, a service that lets consumers book household service specialists. “He’s created a vibe” with a melting pot of entrepreneurs, innovators and disruptors sharing ideas and life experiences, Hanrahan says.

In just its third year, Collision — the U.S. edition of the popular Web Summit conference in Europe — is expected to attract 11,000 people and 650 start-ups over three days in the Big Easy this week; the event gets underway on Tuesday.

No doubt a large slice of them were motivated to attend because the tech extravaganza overlaps with the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, commonly known as Jazz Fest. The first two Collisions were held in Las Vegas.

It’s not as big as CES or as well-known as SXSW, but Collision is a hybrid of sorts that straddles the inclusiveness of a CES with the exclusivity of Code Conference, where attendees pay a premium to hobnob with high-profile speakers.

At Collision, it’s a tale of two conferences: an open forum for developers, investors and report-

COLLISION, FOR USA TODAY

ers to mingle in an open-air setting during the day, and after-hours VIP events for a select few.

Collision’s contrarian culture is a refreshing, outside-the-box treat for jaded showgoers. “I try not to go to trade shows,” says Douglas Merrill, CEO of ZestFinance and former chief information officer at Google. “I prefer broad shows with sweeping themes that force you to think.

(Collision) is delightfully pretty random.”

Quirk is king at Collision, whose roots stretch to Web Summit, where Bono famously led a pub crawl in Dublin years ago. This year’s edition features an eclectic mix of guests that includes uber investor Chris Sacca, former professional wrestler Mick Foley, pro football legend Brett Favre and Nico Sell, cofounder of Wickr, which makes an instant-messenger applica-

tion. Nasdaq senior vice president Bob McCooey is ringing the closing bell from the show on Wednesday.

“We’re seeing a great deal of tech innovation not just in the enterprise, but also in small businesses and mom-and-pop shops in areas such as HR, finance and data analytics,” says Lisa Falzone, CEO of Revel Systems, makers of a point-of-sales app for iPads.

Then again, tech folks like to have a good time. Web Summit proved that in Dublin, and Collision might prove the trick again in New Orleans.

“We’ve had such a great experience speaking at and being a part of Web Summit, anything we can do to to help build an event and community like that here in the U.S., we will do,” About.com CEO Neil Vogel says.

Leave it to tech novice Foley, who specialized in barbed-wire cage matches while in the WWE and is speaking for the first time at a technology show, to sum up his expectations for Collision.

“My name isn’t often associated with technology,” says Foley, the father of an autistic child who is representing non-profit Kulture City, which aids families touched by autism. “As technologically disadvantaged as I am, I’ve been able to make a difference without tech at hand. I hope to show that (at Collision).”

But unless Trump can come to the convention in Cleveland with the support of 1,237 delegates in hand, the nomination battle could go to a second ballot. And at that point, most delegates become unbound — which makes the selection process in places like Kentucky so important.

said Perry Brantley, Trump supporter and state convention delegate from southern Kentucky.

Phyllis Sparks, an alternate delegate from northern Kentucky, said the delegate list “kind gives the impression that there are already backdoor deals being made.”

“They’re McConnell people,” said Pat O’Reagan, another Kentucky Republican. But McConnell assured the convention there were no backroom deals. “I’m amused by the suggestion there’s a group to deliver the nomination,” McConnell said. “If there was such a group, I would be a part of it.”

Representatives for Trump, Cruz and Kasich were at the Lexington Convention Center on Saturday speaking with delegates.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will lead the slate of 25 party leaders picked by the Kentucky GOP at its state convention Saturday.

While Cruz had the most to gain from an establishment-loaded Kentucky delegation, the Kasich campaign also praised the delegate list. “For the most part, everybody in there is focused on ‘How do we beat Hillary Clinton?’ ” said Joel Adams, Kasich’s Kentucky director. “And I think that serves the message the Kasich campaign is

putting out right now.”

Trump won the Kentucky’s March 5 GOP caucus, getting 36% of the vote to Cruz’s 32%. Marco Rubio and Kasich split the remainder. Based on voting results, frontrunner Trump won 17 out of Kentucky’s 46 delegates in the caucus.

Cruz won 15. Rubio and Kasich each won seven.

In Maine, Trump supporters accused the Cruz campaign of reneging on a deal to send a “unity slate” of delegates to the Cleveland convention. “Cruz’s national campaign is run by greedy political hooligans,” Maine Gov. Paul LePage said in a Facebook post.

Cruz and Kasich looking past Northeast With Trump holding solid leads, his rivals ramp up the rhetoric David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

MONROEVILLE , PA . The Republican presidential race is now just weeks away from the finish line as the candidates focus on who is phony, who is lying and who is the most authentic.

Ted Cruz, who is losing ground to Donald Trump in terms of convention delegates, is seeking to counter-brand the businessman as a “phony,” citing comments by an aide that Trump’s approach has been an act and that the prospective nominee will act more presidential in the months ahead.

“Do we want to nominate a candidate who is a phony?” the Texas senator asked supporters this weekend at a high school theater in Monroeville, near Pittsburgh.

“Who tells us he’s lying to us?

Trump, who is poised to expand his delegate lead in five northeastern primaries on Tuesday, said Cruz’s latest tack is “Lying Ted’s” newest act. Trump told supporters he will speak differently to different audiences, but plans to follow through on ambitious pledges, from changes to trade deals to a security wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. “I sort of don’t like toning it down,” Trump told backers this weekend in Waterbury, Conn.

A month-and-a-half before the end of the primary season, Trump — coming off a huge win last week in his home state of New York — could sweep Tuesday’s contests in Pennsylvania,

How big a favorite is Trump in these states? Cruz and Kasich already are making plans for Indiana, which holds its primary on May 3. Cruz campaigned in the Hoosier State on Monday, while Kasich plans to be in Indiana as the other states vote on Tuesday.

In Pennsylvania, Trump leads the field with 45%, according to a NBC News/Wall Street Journal/ Marist poll Sunday, ahead of Cruz (27%) and John Kasich (24%).

Kasich says neither Trump nor Cruz are qualified for the presidency, and both would lose the general election to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“A vote for Cruz or Trump, frankly, is a vote for Hillary Clinton,” Kasich said on CBS’ Face the Nation.

On the night of his New York win, Trump took a notably different approach in a briefer-thanunusual victory speech. He stressed the need for Republican unity, and referred to his nearest

GOP opponent as “Senator Cruz.”

Days later, Trump convention manager Paul Manafort said “the part that he’s been playing is now evolving into the part that you’ve been expecting ... the negatives will come down, the image is going to change.”

In more recent days, Trump and Manafort said the aide was referring to the candidate’s different approaches to different kinds of crowds. Trump has been his boisterous self in recent rallies, and “Lying Ted” has re-appeared.

Cruz, meanwhile, says Manafort’s original comments prove that Trump’s campaign is a sham.

“Just like Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is a phony,” Cruz said after his appearance near Pittsburgh.

AG: Killings ‘a preplanned execution’

Small Ohio county in shock as officials seek information, answers Cameron Knight and Hannah Sparling The Cincinnati Enquirer

John Bacon USA TODAY

The killing of eight people in Ohio last week was “a preplanned execution,” the state’s attorney general said Sunday, adding that police found marijuana growing operations at three of the crime scenes.

“They thought this thing through, whoever did it,” said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.

He also made it clear that the execution-style murders weren’t random or spontaneous.

“This is not the case where somebody got mad at someone else and shot them and there’s a witness, two witnesses,” he said.

Asked about the number of attackers, DeWine replied, “I don’t know if it’s a bad guy or bad guys.

It could be one, two, three, four. I don’t think we know.”

DeWine’s office earlier said it had completed collecting evidence at the four homes where the bodies were found near Piketon, 70 miles east of Cincinnati.

Gov. John Kasich expressed confidence that authorities would nab the killer or killers, telling CBS News that “justice will be delivered.”

The victims were identified as Hannah Gilley, 20, Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40, Christopher Rhoden Jr., 16, Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20, Dana Rhoden, 37, Gary Rhoden, 38, Hanna Rhoden, 19, and Kenneth Rhoden, 44. All were shot in the head, some while in their bed. Three children, including a 4-day-old, survived the ordeal.

Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader on Sunday said law enforcement personnel were familiar with the family, but noted: “We have a small county. We are familiar with most people.”

Reader added, “I have never been involved with that family in

Four federal agents were wounded in a shootout and fire that erupted while they tried to arrest a fugitive at a Kansas motel, authorities said Sunday.

Craig Beam, chief deputy U.S. Marshal for the Kansas district, told USA TODAY that a team of FBI agents and Marshals Service deputies were looking for a fugitive when information led them to the Country Club Motel in Topeka on Saturday night. The agents were approaching the door when the suspect began shooting, Beam said.

He said three deputies and one FBI agent suffered non-lifethreatening injuries.

He declined to name the fugitive and said it was “very possible” the suspect died in the fire.

North Korea claimed Sunday to have successfully launched a ballistic missile from a submarine this weekend, adding another weapon “capable of hitting the heads of the south Korean puppet forces and the U.S. imperialists anytime as it pleases.”

The announcement dismissed a South Korean report that Saturday’s test failed. Pyongyang’s Ko-

Also Sunday, President Obama said he doesn’t take seriously North Korea’s offer to halt nuclear tests if the U.S. and South Korea stop joint military exercises.

Scioto Valley Local School District Superintendent Todd Burkitt said every school district in Pike County committed to send counselors to Piketon High on Monday.

“We don’t have all the answers for this,” Burkitt said. “It’s by far the worst part of the job, when something happens to a kid.

None of it makes sense.”

Restaurateur Jeff Ruby, owner of steakhouses in Cincinnati, Columbus, Ohio and Louisville, offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to arrests.

DeWine said dozens of interviews have been conducted, but no arrests had been made. DeWine said the killer or killers apparently targeted the family, lessening the danger to the public.

In a frantic 911 call, a woman identified as “Bobby” told police, “There’s blood all over the house,” after finding two of the bodies Friday morning.

“I think they are both dead,” she said, sobbing. “It looks like some(one) beat the crap out of them, and I came in and they were laying on the floor.”

Friends and family were struggling with the shock of the loss.

Brittany Pettit, 15, was a classmate of Christopher Rhoden Jr. since first grade. She said they were in the same American government class at Piketon High School.

She said she’ll miss his humor.

“He knew what to say to me, and he was always there for me,” she said. “Chris is just an awesome person.”

Twenty miles south of Piketon, Big Bear Lake Family Resort owner Robin Waddell has known the Rhoden family for decades, ever since Christopher Sr. started working at the resort.

Waddell would hire the elder Christopher Rhoden whenever he needed construction. He was good, Waddell said.

“It’s devastating that something like this could happen,” Waddell said. “And we don’t know what happened.”

Obama on Sunday defended a controversial trade deal between the United States and the European Union that he said he wants to finalize before leaving office in January.

Speaking at a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Obama said people around the world are unsettled by globalization, but that trade has brought tremendous benefits and more jobs.

“When people visibly see a plant lost or jobs lost, the narrative drives a lot of suspicion about these trade deals,” he said. “If you look at the benefits for our economies, it is indisputable that they are made stronger.”

Obama said it was necessary to

President Obama

complete the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement because 95% of markets are outside U.S. borders.

He said he was confident that TTIP could be completed by the end of the year. A separate trade pact covering 12 Pacific rim countries known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership could “start moving forward” once the U.S. presidential election is over, he said.

Obama praised Merkel several times during the news conference before the two leaders then opened the Hannover Messe, the world’s largest industrial technology trade fair.

TTIP’s supporters say the trade

pact would make it easier and cheaper for companies on both sides of the Atlantic to do business together, as well as provide a much needed boost to the global economy amid persistent, sluggish growth. There is fierce opposition to TTIP in Germany — Europe’s largest economy and most important political voice — where it is believed the deal would erode consumer and environmental protections.

About 35,000 people marched in Hannover on Saturday against the proposed deal that would cover more than 800 million people.

While in London earlier, Obama said TTIP would bring millions of jobs and billions of dollars in benefits to both regions. About 300 U.S. companies are attending the trade show in Hannover.

Obama acknowledged that negotiating trade deals was “tough” because countries want to fight for their domestic interests. “The main thing between the United States and Europe is trying to just break down some of the regulatory differences that make it difficult to do business back and forth,” the president said.

Two pilots landed a sun-powered airplane Saturday night in California, finishing the Pacific leg of their attempt to navigate around-the-world in an aircraft without using any fuel.

‘Economy is falling short’ of expectations Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

With U.S. economic growth stalling and global risks still looming, the odds of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this spring are dwindling and Fed policymakers are likely to convey that message after a meeting this week, economists say.

While there’s virtually no chance of a rate hike at a two-day meeting that begins Tuesday, many economists had maintained their call of a June move even after a cautious speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen last month.

Since then, however, economic growth has slowed and an upward drift in inflation toward the Fed’s

2% annual target has lost steam.

“They need to see evidence that the growth slowdown in the first quarter is transitory and inflation is actually firming,” says Barclays Chief U.S. economist Michael Gapen, a former Fed staffer.

The Fed raised its benchmark rate from near zero to 0.4% in December, the first hike in nine years. But it has stood pat since.

The economy grew just 1.4% at an annual rate in the fourth quarter amid a pullback in business stockpiling and a downturn in exports due to the global weakness and a strong dollar.

A surge in consumption was expected to drive growth in the first quarter. Instead, retail sales and consumer spending reports disappointed, compounding the ongoing headwinds of feeble exports and a oil-price slump that has hammered energy investment. Many economists expect growth of less than 1% in the Jan-

uary-March period.

“Any way you slice it, the economy is falling short of the Fed’s growth expectation,” Morgan Stanley wrote in a note to clients.

“It is stall speed.”

Gapen believes the dip in consumption is temporary, blaming relatively warm winter weather that dampened spending on utilities and a drop in booming auto sales to a more sustainable pace.

The good news, he says, is that strong job growth should stoke a pickup in household purchases in the current quarter. Consumer spending makes up about 70% of economic activity.

Meanwhile, a core measure of inflation that strips out food and energy rose to 1.7% annually in February. Yellen voiced doubts that pace would persist because it was fueled by price increases for volatile items, such as apparel and cars. Recent data have proven her concerns well founded.

Gapen expects inflation to resume its upward climb soon, but “getting (noticeable gains in both economic growth and inflation)

by June is a high hurdle,” he says.

Fed futures are giving just 20% odds of a Fed rate increase at its June 14-15 meeting.

Overseas, some risks to U.S. growth have eased further in recent weeks. China’s slowing economy, which was singled out by

Yellen as a lingering hazard, has stabilized somewhat. And a market sell-off early this year that was triggered by China’s troubles and the oil slide has reversed course. But a referendum on whether the United Kingdom should leave the European Union is slated just a week after the Fed’s June meeting, creating uncertainty and further lowering the odds of a June move, says economist Kathy Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.

In its post-meeting statement, Gapen says, the Fed will likely note the improved market conditions and leave the door open to a June hike. But he expects officials to point again to global and financial developments as risks, making a June move a long shot. He now predicts just one quarterpoint rate increase this year, probably in September or December. Fed policymakers had projected four such increases.

Regular gasoline is now $2.18 a gallon on average. In the contiguous 48 states, San Francisco was the most expensive spot to fill up the tank, at $2.79 per gallon, while the cheapest price at the pump was found in Baton Rouge, where a gallon cost $1.82.

The new Big Mac sizes flank the original Big Mac. McDonald’s is testing a Mac Jr. and a Grand Mac in select U.S. stores.

More and more, business growth and profitability is tied to a healthy brand image

Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

A

fter spending years trying to persuade consumers to buy more of their famous-name products, now some of the biggest players in the food industry are trying to get people to eat less of them.

Burgers are shrinking, cookies are becoming thinner, package sizes are getting smaller, and in at least one case, a company is telling customers to cut back on its more indulgent foods.

It’s a strategy that was thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when Mars Inc., maker of M&Ms and Uncle Ben’s rice, said it would start labeling some of its meal products to indicate that they should only be eaten occasionally, due to being higher in sugar, salt or fat.

It may be the most glaring example, but Mars isn’t the first company to chase business growth with this seemingly counterintuitive approach. A look at grocery aisles and restaurant menus shows how prevalent the trend has become toward products with leaner messaging. uMcDonald’s announced last week it’s testing new sizes for its iconic Big Mac, including a smaller “Mac Jr.” uMondelez introduced “thin” Oreos last year — a smaller cookie, smaller package size and fewer calories per serving. uCoke and Pepsi have started hawking miniature soda cans over 2-liter guzzlers; Starbucks temporarily sold frappuccinos in a mini size last summer.

Other changes nudge customers to make healthier choices, such as posting calorie counts on menu boards, which Subway became the largest restaurant chain to do earlier this month. It will be a requirement for restaurants of a certain size by next year.

As customers become increasingly concerned with package labels and legislation starts mandating what food businesses must divulge

Companies that sell inherently unhealthy products are rolling out healthier versions and smaller sizes.

COCA-COLA

Soft drink giants Coke and Pepsi have started hawking miniature soda cans over their 2-liter guzzlers.

— like calorie counts and foods with high levels of sodium — downsizing has become yet another tactic major companies are using to hedge against the demise of processed foods.

“It has everything to do with survival,” says Will Rosenzweig, executive director of The Food Business School, which is part of the Culinary Institute of America.

“We’ve just reached a point where you can’t ignore that if you’re on the wrong side of this health and climate thing, you’re going to be in a declining business.”

Rosenzweig and other branding experts were hard-pressed to think of other examples of companies blatantly labeling products to tell customers to consume them less frequently. But the move could be a pre-emptive attempt to avoid the kind of scrutiny the alcohol and tobacco industries have faced, Rosenzweig says.

“You’ve got the precedent of what happened to the tobacco companies, where it showed for so many years they were basically obfuscating their health impacts and then faced tremendous scrutiny and fines,” he says.

And still, companies are only willing to go so far. Notably absent from Mars’ new labeling initiative is its candy bars, which spokesman Craig Annis says customers already understand shouldn’t be eaten all the time.

The wording and look of the new labels haven’t been finalized yet, and neither has the list of products that will get the warning, which Mars plans to post on its website in coming months.

The changes are only expected to apply to about 5% of Mars’ global portfolio — foods like pasta sauces and its flavored rices could be slapped with the “occasional” label — after the company plans to reduce salt, sugar and fat across its savory products.

Still, the strategies highlight how, in the modern food age, business growth and profitabil-

ity are increasingly tied to the cultivation of a healthy brand image.

“To target growth, you have to be relevant,” says Mary Zalla, global president of consumer brands at Landor, a strategic branding and design firm. “I don’t think there’s any food company that can ignore the impact and the growing relevance that consumers place on health with regard to food.”

Which is why companies that

Oreo recently introduced Oreo Thins — a far cry from its Double Stuf Oreos or Oreo Fudge cremes. sell otherwise inherently unhealthy products are aggressively rolling out healthier versions and smaller sizes, or making grand commitments to reduce their reliance on artificial ingredients or cut fat and sodium.

Health-centric messaging has become a vital weapon to how a company positions itself with the public, and ultimately, gets its products into Americans’ mouths.

Mars’ decision is part of a global wellbeing initiative over the next five years that includes improving the nutritional content of its food and getting customers to cook more at home, even if that means customers may not buy certain products as often.

“How can we help have a positive impact on people who consume our products?” Annis says.

“Sometimes that requires some difficult decisions. Consumers are looking for brands and businesses that they can trust to provide them with a product that meets their high standards ... but also stands for something.”

BEST U.S. AIRLINES: PICKS FROM USA TODAY’S TRAVEL PANEL

Special for USA TODAY

KAREN BLEIER, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

@nancytrejos USA TODAY

B

lair Feld was about to miss his connecting flight on Delta Air Lines in Detroit on the way from Chicago to Washington last year.

The Washington-based utility company consultant sprinted though the terminal to his departure gate. The gate was closed. He had all but given up, but the gate agent had not.

“The gate agent got my info, then made a few calls,” he says.

“Then they reopened the gate door, rolled the gate back up to the plane, reopened the plane door and let me hop on the flight.

I was very impressed and relieved. The guy I sat next to just looked at me and said, ‘Who the hell are you?’ ” Feld has Diamond status with Delta, but even before that, he was a fan.

“They seldom cancel flights,” he says.

Delta has earned his loyalty and that of other Road Warriors who named Delta their favorite U.S.-based airline in a USA TODAY survey.

A total of 246 members of our frequent travelers cast their votes. Delta overwhelmingly beat

its competitors with 82 votes.

American Airlines finished second with 56 votes. Southwest came in at third, with 41 Road Warriors naming it their favorite airline.

Delta’s commitment to its most frequent fliers has had an impact.

“I have had trips into LAX (L.A.), DTW (Detroit) and ATL (Atlanta), where due to flight delays, Delta personnel met me as I deplaned, escorted me to the tarmac, put me in a Porsche SUV and drove me to my connecting flight,” says Grant Helmendach, a business development executive in West Union, S.C. “In every case, I made my connecting flight and avoided a travel disaster.”

Other Road Warriors like Delta for the product it offers to all rather than just to some.

“Delta has consistently good crew and good technology,” says Dan Winkowski, who does sales support in Los Angeles. “Delta’s routes are also well-done.”

Matt Hutchings of St. George, Utah, likes that Delta has an upto-date fleet.

“Planes are newer and fresh with seat power and personal entertainment, while the service is fantastic,” he says. “Also the coverage area is phenomenal,” and Delta’s app offers “luggage tracking and rebooking if there are flight delays.”

Long-haul flights don’t get priority upon arrival John Cox

FAVORITE U.S. AIRLINES Nancy Trejos

ASK THE CAPTAIN

A survey of USA TODAY’s Road Warriors asked panelists to name their favorite U.S.-based airline. The results: u1. Delta Air Lines u2. American Airlines u3. Southwest Airlines u4. United Airlines u5. Alaska Airlines u6. JetBlue

American came in second.

Barry Phillips, a customer experience manager in New York City, flies American two to four times a week.

He prefers the AAdvantage program over others.

“Over the years, it has grown and offers some great perks,” he says.

He recently had a short haul flight canceled because of mechanical failures. It left him stranded in Washington for a night.

“AA reached out to me via email and phone to apologize without me initiating a complaint,” he says. “They offered miles and a refund for the inconvenience. It was surprising to have the airline do this even when I didn’t make any complaint about it as just a cost of the travel life.”

Jim Shriner of Apollo Beach,

Fla., flies American weekly. He appreciates that you can redeem mileage awards for “a reasonable amount of miles.”

Southwest earned a significant number of votes, partly because of its baggage fee policy.

Unlike other airlines, Southwest does not charge for the first two checked bags.

Paula Reid, a machine quilting instructor in Palmdale Calif., says baggage fees drove her to become a loyal Southwest Airlines customer. Reid travels regularly with two 50-pound checked bags and two heavy carry-ons.

“When the legacy airlines started charging for bags, they pushed me into the open arms of Southwest,” she says. “Doesn’t hurt that the fares are competitive and there are no change fees.”

United, a legacy airline, earned 32 votes.

Karl Bryant, who works in Chicago, says United’s network of hubs is impressive.

He once had to fly to Tokyo to work from Chicago and wanted to leave a day early. He found a decent connection through Honolulu.

“The agent on the phone was very accommodating and found a way to make it work,” he says.

“Greatest travel day ever.”

Q: Does air-traffic control ever give priority to longer flights? I recently flew from New York to Hong Kong, and we were forced to circle before landing. After nearly 16 hours in the air, it was frustrating to think much shorter flights had the same landing priority.

— Mike, Scarsdale, N.Y. A: No, the air-traffic control system is set up on a first-come, first-served basis. This is the best service to the greatest number of airplanes.

Q: On a recent flight from London Heathrow to DFW, we had to wait on the tarmac in Dallas for over an hour for a gate to open up on a clear day with no weather delays. In today’s world when computers can calculate and adjust schedules, why should we have an hour delay when our arrival time would have been known from the moment we left London, 10 hours before touchdown?

— Mike, Norman, Okla.

A: Normally, yes, but if the preceding airplane on your gate had a problem, then you would have to wait for it.

Usually the airline will try to change the gate in such a case, but if there is not one available, then you have to wait. It is very frustrating. There is more involved than just a single airplane and a single gate.

Q: Why are airlines so reluctant to allow passengers off an aircraft that has been holding on the tarmac for hours? It took a law to limit this waiting time to three hours.

— Phil H. Rockford, Ill. A: Usually the question is having available gates. When a long delay is incurred, it affects many flights. It is easier to hold an airplane off the gate than to shuffle one airplane after another on and off gates.

Additionally, when the delay is concluded, it takes a long time to reboard passengers, which causes further delays.

Dirty hotels aren’t being called out Christopher Elliott

HOW TO AVOID A DIRTY HOTEL

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Soiled sheets. Broken toilets. Insects.

Pauline Paquin’s hotel in Green River, Utah, had it all — and more.

The bathrooms were so filthy that they were unusable, remembers Paquin, who runs a personal finance website.

“When we asked for them to be cleaned, they just came to pick up the bugs,” she says.

Are you ready for the hotel stay from hell? Your chances of having one this year — and particularly this summer travel season, when occupancy levels peak — haven’t been this good in years.

A wildly profitable hotel industry and record-high room rates mean it’s a seller’s market for accommodations. For some less scrupulous hotel owners, that means giving customers the bare minimum, because they can. But pushover hotel guests also make it possible for these properties to remain in business. Paquin had nowhere else to go, so she made the best of her stay.

“We ended up using our sleeping bags on top of the bed and showering with flip-flops,” she says.

Yuck.

If you’re in a dirty hotel, you should call the health department. main rare. In the unlikely event a reputable hotel offers you the key to an unacceptable room, it should have a policy in place to fix it quickly, says Alan Fairbairn, a professor of hospitality studies at New York Institute of Technology School of Management. And it should fix the problem for good.

“The key to successful service management is to empower your employees to make it right,” he says.

That doesn’t always happen.

For years, the popular user-generated review site TripAdvisor released a list of the dirtiest hotels in the United States, which performed a valuable public service and let travelers know which hotels to avoid.

In 2012, it stopped calling out the worst properties, saying it wanted to “stay more on the positive side.” My colleagues at Yahoo! Travel tried to re-create the

uSet high standards. Stay at a hotel with top-notch reviews or customer service scores. Homewood Suites, Hyatt and Embassy Suites scored the highest in the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index. uCheck in and check out.

If a hotel doesn’t meet your standards, don’t let an employee talk you into staying, even if you’ve prepaid for your stay. Leave and ask for a refund. If you don’t get it, dispute the charges on your credit card. uReport the hotel. Hotels must comply with state and local lodging regulations. If you check into a property that’s unlivable, your next call needs to be to the health department to report the condition of the hotel. For added measure, consider leaving a review online to warn others about the hotel. And finally, tell your travel agent and recommend they stop booking the hotel.

list last year, using TripAdvisor data, and though they unearthed some truly disgusting hotels, the effort lacked the methodology and authority of the original list.

Dirty hotels continue to exist.

It’s such a problem that two Bos-

ton entrepreneurs, Kirsten Lambert and Joan Ripple, founded a company that promises to keep hotel guests clean. (Perhaps not coincidentally, their company got off the ground at about the same time the dirtiest hotel list was abandoned.) Their solution? Disposable sheets, which can be used for the duration of your hotel stay, then discarded. They’re 100% bio-based and compostable.

A queen-size set of sheets from the aptly named Beantown Bedding (beantownbedding.com) will set you back $34.99.

Maybe the real problem with hotels that ignore basic sanitary standards is that they’re tolerated. Katherine Davey, who runs a marketing firm in New York, recalls a stay at a “disgusting” hotel in Miami that was understaffed and poorly run.

“The hotel room doors barely stayed closed, they lost my hotel reservation twice, the floors and walls were stained, and the showers looked like a frat house,” she says. “The towels, which had both red and brown stains on them, often took days to replace, and when the rooms were cleaned, it looked and smelled like someone cleaned with a dirty rag.”

When Davey complained, a hotel representative apologized, offered her a “free” room and promised to renovate. She returned, only to find it was the same unclean hotel. “I’m shocked they’re still open,” she says.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Purple rained everywhere this weekend.

From Coachella in Southern California to Jazz Fest in New Orleans and the Boss’ concert in Brooklyn, N.Y., music lovers of all kinds paid tribute to Prince, who was cremated and memorialized in a private ceremony Saturday at his Paisley Park home outside Minneapolis. The iconic musician, 57, was found dead at his home early Thursday.

NBC’s Saturday Night Live aired a special billed “Goodnight Sweet Prince” with clips of Prince’s SNL performances and sketches about the singer. An emotional Jimmy Fallon hosted the show and introduced neverbefore-seen footage from Prince’s performance last year at the SNL 40 afterparty. “I held Prince’s gloves,” Fallon said. “It was the last time I saw him.”

He was our hero. We loved him. And he has completely shaped our world.

We’re going to do this together, am I right?” said Rudolph, who performed as one-half of the Prince cover band Princess. The group closed the set with a 13minute version of Purple Rain.

At his Million Dollar Piano show in Las Vegas, Elton John paused to pay tribute, TMZ reports. John dedicated his song I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues to Prince. “We loved you, we salute you and we’re going to miss you.”

Bruce Springsteen opened his concert Saturday at the Barclays Center with a cover of Purple Rain. Bathed in violet light, he told the crowd: “Whenever I catch one of his shows, I always leave humble. So I’m going to miss that, and we’re going to miss him.”

On Saturday, Prince’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, released a statement announcing that close family and friends had gathered to say their farewells.

“A few hours ago, Prince was celebrated by a small group of his most beloved: family, friends and

Fan Ann Sawatzky pays her respects Saturday at the First Avenue club in Minneapolis, where Prince started his music career. The singer was found dead at his home outside the city Thursday.

Fans could look skyward for a Prince salute at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, where acts such as Pearl Jam and Janelle Monae paid musical tributes.

The Associated Press reports that some fans outside the compound received gifts from the estate. Round purple boxes contained memorabilia such as color photos of the musician, CDs, tour programs and black T-shirts with “3121” printed on them, the numbers referring to Prince’s 2006 album of the same name.

Life gave Beyoncé lemons, and she made Lemonade.

Bey released her sixth solo album in an earthquake of a surprise release Saturday night on Tidal. We listened (and listened again) for some instant reactions to her most grown-up record yet.

1. PRAY YOU CATCH ME

make sense on paper. But take the song’s arsenal of classic Jack White tricks — the distorted rock ’n’ roll vocals, the nimble foundation of drumbeats, the clashing chorus — and lend them to Beyoncé, and it sounds fresh.

4. SORRY

Is this Bey’s most profound song ever? Probably not, but it’s a breezy, beautiful kiss-off that’s enough to tell every below-average person in your life, “Boy, bye.”

It’s hard to divorce the first few songs of this album from HBO’s Lemonade documentary, which premiered Saturday and initially seemed as if it would end in a Bey-Jay Z separation announcement. Compared to Beyoncé’s opener Pretty Hurts, this is a quieter, more wistful introduction.

3. DON’T HURT YOURSELF (FEATURING JACK WHITE)

This collaboration doesn’t exactly

A few questions: Why isn’t this song three times as long? Why is this the first time the two artists, both of whom have made us weep openly, are collaborating? And James, where’s the album?

6. DADDY LESSONS

10. FREEDOM (FEATURING KENDRICK LAMAR)

Where’s Bey’s CMA Award? Seriously, considering her roots, the fact that this is Bey’s first country song with brass band horns is kind of remarkable.

Daddy Lessons serves as a turning point for the record as the spare, woozy Love Drought transitions into Bey’s more familiar territory of soaring love songs.

8. SANDCASTLES

9. FORWARD (FEATURING JAMES BLAKE)

Beyoncé drawls about hardworking women as The Weeknd joins her for a very on-brand feature about stacking money and drinking Hennessy on one of the album’s weaker links.

7. LOVE DROUGHT

2. HOLD UP

Let’s all say it together: Hold Up is already the song of the summer. If this isn’t one of Lemonade’s singles that sells a zillion copies and bangs from the radio all July, it’ll be a personal offense.

5. 6 INCH (FEATURING THE WEEKND)

Bey has never sounded better — or more gut-wrenchingly raw — than on this emotional, pianodriven ballad. Grab your tissues, folks! This is the album’s big-lunged ballad, the one that reminds us that at her core, behind the supersized public persona that has become Beyoncé, is an extraordinary voice.

Kendrick and Beyoncé are two artists who’ve spoken decisively and powerfully about blackness in America, and Freedom is a fittingly barn-burning collaboration — a soulful, motivational anthem sure to crop up in gym playlists and movie trailers in no time.

11. ALL NIGHT

Before Formation ends Lemonade with its fiery “roll the credits” closing, there’s All Night, a warm, sidling love song buoyed by Outkast-sampling horns.

12. FORMATION

Lemonade isn’t the overtly political work some were expecting, so there’s no better placement for Formation than at the album’s coda, ending a record that traces the arc of a relationship with a definitive statement of self.

Kansas football strength on rise

KANSAS BASKETBALL RECRUITING

Center of attention

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One of the most popular statements uttered by Kansas University fans during the past several struggle-filled football seasons sounds something like this: Don’t just tell me they’re improving. Tell me how and show me.

Last week, on the heels of his second spring in charge of the program, KU coach David Beaty obliged.

Talking with reporters on the annual post-spring Big 12 football coaches teleconference, Beaty went into great detail about one of the areas he believes his team has improved the most since last season — strength.

“A year ago, we had 20 guys that could bench over 300 pounds, now we have 51,” Beaty began. “A year ago, we had 16 guys that could squat 450 or more, now we have 38. A year ago, we had eight guys that were 300-pound-plus powercleaners. We’ve got 28 now.

Last year, we had three guys that ran 4.5 (-second 40yard dashes) or better. We have 24 at this point, not including any of the freshmen that are coming in. And then, vertical-jump-wise, we had 13 guys that could jump over 32 (inches), and now we have 29 guys that jump over 32.

“When you have a team like ours that’s a development team, you’ve gotta see development. And some of the numbers our strength staff was able to provide was something you want to see.”

Since his arrival in Lawrence, Beaty has spoken highly of strength-and-conditioning director Je’Ney Jackson, a former KU cornerbacks coach who handled the strength staff for Indiana basketball before returning to Kansas.

Jackson was one of Beaty’s first hires after being named KU’s head coach, and the weight-room results that Jackson and his assistants have pulled out of this young Kansas team are proof of why Beaty moved fast to land him.

But the results go far beyond numbers on a board, stopwatch or scale. In addition to looking and playing faster and stronger, Beaty said his young squad approached the offseason and spring ball with a confidence

KU alone in pursuit of No. 1 Ayton

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball program, which recently landed a commitment from Josh Jackson, the No. 1 prospect in the high school recruiting class of 2016, also leads for the top player in the Class of ’17.

DeAndre Ayton, a 7-foot junior forward from Hillcrest Academy in Phoenix, told the Louisville Courier-Journal at last weekend’s Nike EYBL event in Indianapolis that KU currently is the only school recruiting him.

Now, that figures to change, considering coaches from Kentucky, Arizona and others watched Ayton play

for California Supreme in Indy.

But one would think KU obviously has the early advantage.

“Right now it’s Kansas.

That’s it. I’m only seeing Kansas right now,” Ayton told the Courier-Journal on Friday.

Why has only KU been pursuing him?

“I don’t know,” he responded. “The word is I’m not going to college or something. I’d say college is a must. I have to go to college.

My mom wants me to go to college.”

Could grades be a factor?

“I’m NCAA eligible. I don’t know what’s the problem,” Ayton told the paper. “I

Michael Porter, a 6-3 junior forward from Tolton Catholic in Columbia, Mo., who is ranked No. 2 in the Class of ’17 by Rivals.com, had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Trae Young, a 6-1 combo guard from Norman (Okla.)

North who is ranked No. 13, had 19 points for MoKan. Mohamed Bamba, a 6-11, 205 junior from Westtown (Pa.) School who is ranked No. 3, had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the winners.

“You have to do what’s best for you, but we (he and l Porter) really, really want Prospects deluxe: Three to play together at the next KU prospects were on the Please see HOOPS, page 3C floor for the PSA Cardinals’ mean, I really don’t care who isn’t recruiting me, to be honest. It really doesn’t matter to me. Whoever comes, comes.

I’ll look into it and figure something out.”

Ayton is from the Bahamas, as is KU junior-to-be forward Dwight Coleby and former Oklahoma phenom Buddy Hield.

“He’s special right now,” Hield said of Ayton in an interview with Zagsblog. com. “I think he’s good for the NBA now. His physical talents ... he can rebound the ball. He’s just a talent. You can’t teach height.”

Ventura settles down, dominates Baltimore Butera, Hosmer, Gordon provide offense in 6-1 victory

KANSAS CITY’S ALEX GORDON, LEFT, SLIDES HOME TO SCORE on a double by Christian Colon while Baltimore catcher Caleb Joseph waits for the throw during the seventh inning of the Royals’ 6-1 victory on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Yordano Ventura no longer wears his emotions on his sleeve, the young righthander for the Kansas City Royals having grown up after his first couple of years in the big leagues.

If he still did, there’d have been a big grin plastered to his jersey Sunday.

Ventura settled down after a shaky first inning to allow three hits and a run over seven, and the Royals pulled away to beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 in the rubber game of their threegame set.

“He’s matured,” said backup catcher Drew Butera, who had a pair of

hits while giving Salvador Perez the day off. “Now … he’s understanding himself.

He’s more relaxed.”

Eric Hosmer homered to push his AL-leading on-base streak to 26 games, and Alex Gordon also went deep for Kansas City. But it wasn’t until the Royals strung together a bunch of hits and scored four times in the seventh inning that they could begin to rest easy.

Mike Wright (1-2) allowed five runs on eight hits in 61⁄3 innings for Baltimore.

“I thought he pitched pretty well. Mike did his part,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “I loved the fact he walked nobody.

That’s a quality start for us. We had four guys we weren’t going to use in the bullpen today, so we needed that from Mike. We just didn’t do much offensively.”

His final line gave no indication that most of the sun-splashed afternoon amounted to a pitchers’ duel between two young righthanders who seemed to be in complete control.

Ventura got into a spot of trouble in the first, walking Manny Machado before giving up a weakly hit infield single and an RBI knock to Mark Trumbo. But he settled down quickly, retiring Please see ROYALS, page 3C

Hoffman edges Reed to take Texas title San Antonio — Charley Hoffman made a nine-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the Valero Texas Open on Sunday.

The 39-year-old Hoffman closed with a 3-under 69 at TPC San Antonio for a one-stroke victory over Patrick Reed. Hoffman finished at 12-under 276 and earned $1,116,000 for his fourth PGA Tour victory.

Playing alongside Hoffman, Reed also birdied the par-5 18th for a 69. He missed birdie putts inside eight feet on the par-3 16th and par-4 17th.

Reed, who was born in San Antonio, put the pressure on Hoffman with a tap-in birdie at the 18th after reaching the fringe on the 595-yard hole in two. His shot to the green came from the left-hand rough, and had to clear an oak tree and creek in front of the green.

Hoffman followed by hitting his third shot from a greenside bunker to set up his birdie.

SCOREBOARD

BRIEFLY Kansas tennis downed by OSU Short-handed Kansas University was no match for Oklahoma State’s 14thranked tennis team.

Forced because of illness to play a player short, the Jayhawks suffered a 4-0 Senior Day loss to the Cowgirls on Sunday at Jayhawk Tennis Center.

“I thought we fought extremely hard against a great team today,” Kansas coach Todd Chapman said. “It was obviously an emotional Senior Day, and playing a player down, I thought we did incredibly well in terms of competitiveness. We tied for second in the Big 12 Conference. We knew that if we won today we’d be outright in second place, but it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve even tied for second in the conference, so this group has done incredibly well.”

KU’s only victory on the day came at No. 2 doubles, where Maria Jose Cardona and Anastasiya Rychagova teamed for a 6-3 victory over Viktoriya Cardona Lushkova and Carla Tur Mari.

But OSU won at No. 1 doubles and received a forfeit at No. 3 to clinch the doubles point.

Oklahoma State then picked up on-court wins at No. 2 and No. 3 singles and a forfeit at No. 6 to clinch the match.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the five players who competed today,” Chapman said. “We gave ourselves a chance, but Oklahoma State is one of the best doubles teams in the country. We put Maria and Anastasiya together for the first time today, and they went out there and

that was not present during Year One. “We had none,” Beaty said. “Coming into last year, we had three guys that had started a Big 12 game, and that experience is something that I think has been drawn on. ... You see added depth that you didn’t have before because those guys have developed, and they’ve gotten to a point where they can contribute. You see the value of what experience leads to, just knowing what to do, where to go, how to do it.

“The production in the offseason has been something I’ve been very proud of.”

Combine these new developments with the

level and that’s a really high possibility,” Young told the Courier-Journal.

“We benefit from each other. I make him look good. He makes me look really good. With him on the wing and me at the lead guard, I feel like we can do really big things at the next level, too.”

“Chemistry is something that really appeals to me,” Porter told the C-J. “We just developed that connection and on the court we’re always looking for each other.

We make each other’s life easier. There’s something to say about doing your own thing, being a star, doing something different – but you want to play with and against great players. They make your life easier.”

beat a nationally ranked team and did it very well.

I thought it was unbelievable.”

KU honored Cardona, its lone senior, after the match.

The Jayhawks will begin play in the Big 12 Championship on Friday in Stillwater, Okla.

Kawinpakorn 5th at Big 12 golf San Antonio — Kansas University senior Yupaporn “Mook” Kawinpakorn earned her seventh top-five finish of the season at the Big 12 Championship on Sunday at The Dominion Country Club and became the first Jayhawk to be named to the All-Big 12 Tournament Team four times in a career.

Kawinpakorn tied for fifth at 1-under 215, eight strokes behind champion Kenzie Nelsen of Oklahoma State.

“The year Mook has had is beyond description.

She has set the bar high for the younger players, and she’s shown them anything is possible if you work hard and persevere through the tough times,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said. “We are so very proud of her.”

As a team, KU moved up two spots to seventh.

Kansas shot a collective 23-over 887. OSU won with 856.

Kansas’ other scores: Pornvipa Sakdee, tied for 12th, 216; Pitsinee Winyarat, tied for 32nd, 225; Ariadna Fonseca Diaz, 43rd, 230; and Victoria Chandra, 44th, 232.

“We putted well today and kept our heads on straight, which helped us have a solid final round,” O’Neil said.

Kansas now will await to learn its postseason fate. The NCAA team and individual selections will be televised at 5 p.m. today on the Golf Channel.

one element Beaty said he was most proud of last year — attitude — and it’s easy to see why the coaching staff says the difference between this point now versus this point a year ago is “night and day.”

“I think the one thing (we accomplished last season) was just the way they practiced, their attitude and approach every day,” Beaty said. “Regardless of the outcome, those guys came to work.”

Today, the work continues. And, with spring football now behind them and the Sept. 3 season opener 131 days away, the progress the Jayhawks make during summer workouts and preseason camp in August will go a long way toward determining whether it’s improvement or more of the same that lies ahead.

Schools that have a shot at landing the duo: KU, Kentucky, Duke, Oklahoma, Missouri, Virginia and perhaps others.

“There’s a couple schools where if I went to, I’m not sure he’d follow, and the same with him,” Porter said, “but we have a lot of schools in common and we’re really trying to make it work.” l

the next 11 batters he faced before Caleb Joseph’s single with one out in the fifth.

Ventura worked around some shoddy fielding to escape that inning, then induced four groundballs in working through two more spotless frames and turning it over to his bullpen.

“I have a lot of confidence right now,” Ventura said through a translator. “I’m executing pitches, I’m concentrating hard on working hard on and off the field.”

Wright didn’t allow a run until Gordon’s shot to left in the fourth, and that barely cleared the wall with the help of a stiff breeze.
