Upon cross-examination by defense attorney Richard Ney, Mitchell said that even with his knowledge of anatomy he could not guarantee he could strangle someone without leaving a bruise. Still, Mitchell said it is possible that interior bruising could occur without exterior bruising if one were to lay a pillow across the neck and apply pressure.

Lawmaker proposes bill on transfer students Topeka (ap) — A Kansas state senator is proposing a bill intended to ensure that school districts can’t remove current students who live outside their boundaries. But critics said Republican Sen. Ty Masterson’s bill is a solution in search of a problem. They claim it doesn’t address the main reason behind some districts limiting new, transfer students — budget cuts related to the state’s new law establishing temporary block grants for schools. Masterson’s bill comes after two Shawnee County districts — Seaman Unified School District 345 and Silver Lake Unified School District 372 — said they have no plans to accept out-of-district students next school year. School administrators note that it won’t affect current nonresident students, but Masterson said he wants legislation that guarantees they’re protected. “We never contemplated the possibility that a district might — because legally they could — refuse all those out-ofdistrict kids,� said Masterson, the Senate’s budget committee chairman. He added that districts wouldn’t be required to continue accepting new nonresident students under the bill. Seaman’s director of communications, Jeff Zehnder, wondered why the bill was necessary. “This bill blocks something that no one is doing,� Zehnder said. “Is this bill good public policy, or is it just trying to make educators look bad? We would never do what this bill considers.� According to the state education department, about 21,000 students attend a public school outside their home district.
State: $7.5M to raze Docking building Topeka — Officials estimate that it will cost $7.5 million to demolish a state official building in Topeka. Crews are expected to begin the six-month process of removing asbestos from Docking State Office Building in May. Information posted to the Department of Administration’s website shows the building will be taken down between December and March. Officials are tearing it down because they believe renovations of the 1950sera high-rise would be too expensive. There currently are no plans for new construction on the site near the Statehouse.

Kansas already has religious objections law By John Hanna Associated Press
Topeka — Religious objections measures in Arkansas and Indiana that prompted national criticism are similar to a law Kansas quietly enacted two years ago with the state’s leading gay-rights group officially neutral. Since then, there has been a major shift in the political context surrounding the debate over legal protections for individuals, groups and businesses objecting to samesex marriage on religious grounds. When Kansas enacted the law in 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court hadn’t agreed to consider whether same-sex marriage must be allowed in all
states. Kansas wasn’t in the national spotlight until 2014, when lawmakers considered but ultimately rejected a measure that would have protected individuals, churches and other “religious entities” from being sued or punished by the government for refusing to participate in or provide services to same-sex marriages. “The marker has changed,” Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas, the gay-rights group that was neutral two years ago, said Monday. “The phrase ‘religious freedom’ has become a loaded phrase.” The 2013 Kansas law — and similar statutes in 20 other states — were patterned after the federal Religious Freedom Res-
“
The marker has changed. The phrase ‘religious freedom’ has become a loaded phrase.” — Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas toration Act of 1993, arising from a case involving the use of peyote in a Native American ritual. The Kansas version was passed by large, bipartisan legislative majorities. Like the Indiana and Arkansas measures this year, the Kansas law says state or local governments can’t substantially inhibit a person’s exercise of religion without a compelling reason. A person could go to court to challenge government actions. None of the measures
specifically mentions same-sex marriage or gays and lesbians, but the resulting controversy over this year’s bills led Arkansas and Indiana to consider follow-up measures. The Indiana and Arkansas measures specifically applied to individuals, groups and businesses. Some major corporations such as Apple and Walmart opposed the laws, saying they left the impression that those states were not welcoming to gay workers.
The Kansas law protects “persons” but defines the term as “any legal person or entity” under state or federal law. It is not clear if that would also apply to businesses. Neither side in the debate could cite a legal case involving gays or lesbians based on the Kansas law, and the statute hasn’t been widely used. But after this year’s controversies over the Indiana and Arkansas measures, Kansas state Sen. David Haley said it may need to be re-examined. Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, was among only four senators to vote against it two years ago, and other lawmakers haven’t taken up his call. “I’ve been concerned with using religious free-
doms as covers for discrimination of any kind,” Haley said. Michael Schuttloffel, a lobbyist for the Kansas Catholic Conference, blames the furor over the Indiana and Arkansas proposals on a “disinformation’” campaign by critics. He said samesex marriage advocates feel they’ve won the debate and now find such measures unacceptable, when five years ago, they would have seemed a reasonable compromise to all parties. “They want to dictate terms of surrender,” he said. “Any opposition to same-sex marriage in the public square is completely unacceptable and must be driven from the public square.”
A.G. asks court to strike labor rules for home health workers
Time to vote
By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com
Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has joined a group of states asking a federal appeals court to strike down new federal regulations that would require the state to pay overtime wages for home health workers employed through the state Medicaid program. Schmidt announced Monday that he, along with eight other state attorneys general, filed a friend of the court brief in a case challenging those new rules. That case is now pending before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Please see LABOR, page 4A

City leader to propose potluck dinner idea By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw
Let’s be honest; we’ve all suspected for a while that the answer at Lawrence City Hall is more pea salad and fruit-infused Jell-O. No? Well, it might be. City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer says he plans to propose, if he is chosen to be mayor, a monthly community potluck with city commissioners as a way to open up lines of communication with residents. In his weekly email update, Farmer says he plans to propose several changes to how City Commission meetings are structured, if he indeed is chosen by his fellow commissioners to be mayor later this month. Farmer currently is the vice mayor and, if tradi-
tion holds, he’ll be elected to serve a one-year term as mayor beginning at the April 14 meeting. The fivemember City Commission each year chooses one of its members to serve as mayor. Here’s a look at how Farmer envisions City Commission meetings: l The first Tuesday of each month CITY would contin- COMMISSION ue to be business as usual: a 5:45 p.m. meeting at City Hall. l The second Tuesday of each month would be a “City Commission community conversation” that would be held at various neighborhood locations. At 5:45 p.m. commissioners and members of the public
would have a potluck dinner together. There would be time for conversation afterward as well. “I think these meetings should be a place where we have a dialogue with people who show up about things that matter most to them,” Farmer wrote in his blog. “We get input, talk together about ideas, concerns, celebrate things that are happening in our community as elected officials.” Farmer proposes that these gatherings would be taped and later broadcast. I’m not sure if the actual eating would be taped. If so, I’m predicting that me eating pea salad will become the next great reality television hit. l The third Tuesday of each month would be business as usual: a 5:45 p.m.
meeting at City Hall. l The fourth Tuesday of each month would be a City Commission study session held at various locations around town. The main difference between a study session and City Commission meeting is that commissioners can’t take any binding votes at a study session. Normally a study session focuses on just one or two items. Commissioners hear reports from staff members and other people they believe have information to share, but public comment traditionally is not accepted. Farmer suggests these study sessions would be taped and later broadcast on the city’s cable channel. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk, which runs each weekday at LJWorld.com
Drought expands across large part of crop region By David Pitts Associated Press
Des Moines, Iowa — Drought conditions expanded last month amid weather that was warmer and drier across much of the western U.S., but spring rain in the agricultural Midwest could improve conditions for farmers preparing for the corn and soybean growing season. Weekly data released by the National Drought Mitigation Center shows moderate drought or worse covered 36.8 percent of the U.S. as of late last week, up nearly five percentage points from the previous week but slightly below last year’s levels. Over the last decade, the figure has ranged from 9 percent in 2010 to nearly 52 percent during the devastating drought of 2013. Here’s a look at the current conditions:
Farmers looking up Some areas of Iowa, Illinois and Kentucky saw rain last week, and additional rain could move across the same area this week. But abnormally dry areas are beginning to reflect the lack of moisture from last

That’s a change from the past few years, when too much rain left many farmers in parts of Iowa and Illinois unable to plant or work in their fields.

LAWRENCE • STATE Secretary Kari Bruffett said. Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the agency, said that for many years Kansas has had a policy of “selfdirected” care, meaning that the patients or their families personally hire and train the home health aides, although the money for their wages comes through the state Medicaid program. For that reason, she said, Kansas considers them to be employees of the individual patients, and since many of those workers provide services to multiple patients each day, it would be difficult to determine which patient would be responsible for paying overtime wages. The U.S. Department of Labor, however, considers those workers to be employed by the state, and thus would be covered by the new rule governing third-party care givers. In December, a federal district court judge struck down the new rules, which require overtime wages for all work beyond 40 hours a week and which also restrict the kinds of services that qualify as “companion care.” The Labor Department is appealing that ruling. In a statement in January the agency said: “We believe the Rule is legally sound and is the right policy— both for those employees, whose demanding work merits these fundamental wage guarantees, and for recipients of services, who deserve a stable and professional workforce allowing them to remain in their homes and communities.” A decision from the appellate court is expected later this year.

Wary months ahead Kansas farmer Clay Scott said that this year, he hasn’t seen the dirt storms he experienced in recent years. But he noted that the area is entering its fourth growing season in drought. “There is a desperate need for rain right now,” he said. “If we catch a good rain here shortly, we’ll have a nice wheat crop here in southwest Kansas compared to last couple of years.” Scott, who farms around Ulysses, is planting around 2,000 acres of corn in dry land and irrigated fields. Climatologists expect a wetter pattern to develop later this month, which gives farmers hope, he said. Drought developed during March in much of central and northern Wisconsin, with 55 percent of the state in moderate drought. Nebraska, which reported no drought four weeks ago, is now experiencing moderate drought over 22 percent of its land. A substantial jump also was reported in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. In Colorado, coverage of severe drought jumped to 40 percent from 12 percent.

Mitchell said that would take “sufficient enough pressure to stop blood flow to the brain.” Miller’s children, Melodie Ozorkiewicz and Matthew Miller, testified last week that they heard their mother let out a muffled scream during the early-morning hours of the day she died. They also said they heard their father’s voice in the room comforting their mother. Mitchell said he knew from law enforcement that Miller denied being in the room with Mary Miller the morning of her death and that Miller’s children said he was indeed in the room. This information paired with the physiological signs of petechiae and bruising led to his conclusion that Mary Miller died by homicide. “I’ve got anatomic findings that are highly suspect, and I’ve got someone saying he was not there and in fact he was there,” Mitchell said. Mitchell said the bruise or “streak of hemorrhage” inside Mary Miller’s neck was about three-quarters of an inch long. Mitchell described it as “highly unusual” and “dramatic” because “it’s an indication that something happened physically to cause it.” “What I have evidence of is neck compression,” Mitchell said. “This stands out because it’s something that shouldn’t be there.” There was also a second, much deeper red bruise inside Mary Miller’s neck. That one Mitchell said he caused during the examination. Mitchell said it was “not a mistake; it’s part of the (autopsy) procedure.” Also at issue were the ocular petechiae, or dot-

PARADE & CELEBRATION
— Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell like hemorrhages, found beneath Mary Miller’s eyelids. Mitchell said they are a sign of asphyxia, but on Monday he said that they could also be caused by naturally occurring health issues such as seizures, heart attacks or even “coughing hard.” Ney said last week that he would have experts testify that Mary Miller’s death was likely of natural causes, such as a stress-induced heart attack, seizure or anaphylactic shock. On Monday afternoon, the state rested its case. The defense’s first witnesses were acquaintances of Mary Miller who said she was under stress during the time leading up to her death. Sally Nadvorik, a friend of Mary Miller’s, testified that in 2004 she told investigators that Mary Miller “worked very hard and always seemed to be under stress.” Mary Miller worked as a librarian at Kansas University. Former co-worker Channette Alexander also testified that Mary Miller was under “a constant level of stress” because of changes in her job, as well as personal issues. Also testifying was Jonnie Finger, a teacher at Veritas Christian School, where Miller’s children were students and where Miller served as a board member. Finger testified that she told investigators 11 years ago that she “knew Mary had migraine headaches.” Ney argued last week that migraines are “key warning signs” of epilepsy. Ney criticized Mitchell on Monday for not
testing Mary Miller for the “90-some” herbal remedies found in the home that Mitchell had requested investigators confiscate for evidence. Last week during opening arguments, Ney said perhaps Mary Miller had an allergic reaction to one of the supplements. Mitchell said that there was a routine toxicology report for “standard postmortem drugs and poisons.” However, Mitchell said he didn’t test her body for the herbal remedies nor did he test the contents of the remedies. “With herbal compounds, we do not know what was there. There’s no lab that will detect everything,” Mitchell said. “There’s no association between these findings (the bruising and petechiae) and any compound.” This is the second trial for Martin Miller. A Douglas County jury convicted Miller in 2005 of first-degree murder, but the Kansas Court of Appeals ruled in February 2014 that Miller should get a new trial based on an erroneous jury instruction. Testimony will continue today, which District Judge Paula Martin said could be the final day of evidence. The trial was originally scheduled to last through Friday.

fewer teachers and larger class sizes in some buildings next year. But Kansas State Department of Education officials said that may not be the case, depending on what House and Senate budget negotiators decide when they return for the final wrap-up session April 29. “We think that with resignations and retirements, we won’t have to non-renew any teachers for budget reasons,” Doll said. He said the Lawrence school board will discuss possible responses to the funding cuts when it receives an update on the budget during its next meeting on April 13. “It’s not going to be pleasant,” Doll said. The new funding system reduces the amount

maintenance — items like repaving and curb and gutter repair — is expected to decline by about 30 percent in 2015. Public works leaders are blaming the drop in funding on increased demand for city funding. “It is the same pot of money but more competition,” said Chuck Soules, the city’s director of public works. The latest calculations show the city will have about $2.81 million to spend in 2015 for contracted street maintenance, which is work that is done by hired crews, as opposed to the smaller projects that are done by city employees. That’s down from about $4.1 million that was available for contracted street maintenance in 2014. Soules said the $2.8 million number is similar to the amount of funding his department had in the mid-2000s. “We’re definitely making progress on streets,” Soules said. “But if we only fund it like we did back in the early 2000s, it will catch up with us.” Voters in 2008 approved a sales tax that is devoted to street projects and other infrastructure needs in the city. The city is spending more dollars on street projects today than it was prior to the approval of the sales tax. But city officials say it is important to note the distinction between spending money on rebuilding streets versus spending money on maintaining streets. During the 2008 sales tax election, it was envisioned that a large portion of the new tax dollars would go to rebuilding streets that had fallen into a state of disrepair that routine maintenance was no longer effective. The city has spent millions of dollars on such projects, including several projects on Kasold, Iowa, Wakarusa and other major streets. But during the campaign it also was envisioned that spending on routine street maintenance would hold steady or increase slightly. The 30 percent drop in the contracted street maintenance is an issue to keep an eye on in the future, said City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer — who, if tradition holds, is set to become mayor later this month. “Anything is going to be more expensive if we’re trying to play catch-up,” Farmer said. “It is a matter or resources, but I know

. of state “equalization” aid that Lawrence receives for its capital outlay and local option budgets. Equalization aid is a kind of state subsidy that holds down property tax rates in districts with less property valuation per-pupil than wealthier districts. The new school funding bill was passed separately from the overall state budget, which lawmakers are still working on. The school funding law took effect when it was published Thursday in the Kansas Register, and it applies to funding that all districts receive for the remainder of this fiscal year and for the next two fiscal years. Because of that, state and district officials said, the Lawrence district has already received more capital outlay and local option budget state aid than it is entitled to under the new formula. That means it not only won’t
get any more of that aid for the rest of the year, but it may actually have to pay back some of the money it has already received and spent. According to the Department of Education, the new law cuts $1.6 million of the Lawrence district’s local option budget aid. But the district has already received more than it’s entitled to under the new law, meaning it may have to repay $494,657. In addition, the new law changes the way district wealth is calculated. Under the new system, Lawrence no longer qualifies for capital outlay state aid, meaning it may have to repay the $177,300 it has already received. Lawrence is one of several school districts in the state facing the possibility of having to repay money they have already received and spent. But Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Den-
we can’t fall behind again.” Farmer said he expects the new commission — which will be seated on April 14 — to look at a host of issues and determine how well budget priorities are matching up with the public’s views. “I think there will be big conversations in the community about what the expectations are and how we’re living up to them,” Farmer said. Some of that talk already has begun. Commissioners and candidates have talked about the desire to build a new police headquarters project without raising taxes. But a new report from City Hall said several projects would have to be delayed to accomplish a headquarters project without a tax increase. Soules said his department in the coming weeks also will be keeping a close eye on construction bids.
He said early numbers show the price of road construction, such as repaving, is increasing. He said the department may have to recommend a reduction in the amount of maintenance work planned for 2015 if construction prices continue to rise. The contracted street maintenance is just one portion of the city’s street maintenance program, but it is the largest portion. City crews also do some in-house work. The level of in-house work has grown in recent years, but Soules said not enough to make up for the decrease in funding for contracted street maintenance. “The city is still expanding some,” Soules said. “We haven’t gotten to all the streets that we need to yet.”

nis said there is a possibility that those districts won’t have to repay the money. That’s because House and Senate negotiators working on the overall state budget have so far agreed to a provision that would say districts will not be required to repay any over-payments they received this year. “It’s been agreed by both sides, but it has not been approved yet by the House or the Senate,” Dennis said.
Last Thursday, the final day of the regular session, the budget conference committee reached an agreement on a preliminary budget. But the committee did not advance the bill to the House and Senate floors, which means the bill is still in the committee and is still subject to change. Republican leaders said Thursday that they want to wait until after new consensus revenue estimates are released later this
month so they will know how much additional revenue the state will need to fund the budget. Based on current estimates, lawmakers would need to raise at least $224 million in new taxes next year to fund the conference committee’s budget. That number could change based on the revised estimates that are released April 20. — Peter Hancock can be reached at (785) 354-4222 and phancock@ljworld.com.

Questionable leadership Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is hardly a stellar example of principled leadership in the U.S. Congress.
I
s it any wonder the American public has such low regard, respect and confidence in the U.S. Congress when an individual such as Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada can serve as majority leader of the supposedly august and important U.S. Senate? In a 2012 speech before his fellow senators, the fiery Democratic leader claimed that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney had not paid his taxes for 12 years. This was a very serious accusation, and Reid did not let up. He challenged Romney to prove he had paid his taxes. By making the charge, Reid was able to inject suspicion, anger and negative thinking about Romney into the minds of millions of Americans trying to decide whether they should vote for Romney. Several weeks ago, Reid announced he would not seek re-election to the Senate and, in an interview with a television reporter, he was asked whether he had any regrets about making the false accusations about Romney — an act many thought seemed “McCarthyite.” Reid said, “Well they can call it whatever they want. Romney didn’t win, did he?” Reid didn’t see any shame or embarrassment in him, as the Senate majority leader, making false charges about Romney. He knew his speech on the Senate floor was protected and could not be used as the basis for a slander action. In commenting about Reid’s decision not to seek re-election, President Obama said he could not be prouder of Reid and that he had done more for this country than any other senator. What does this say about the integrity of a Senate leader and a president who would make such a claim? How is the public supposed to have confidence in the Senate when lying is accepted as nothing unusual and when a president praises the record of a man such as Reid? For years, Reid shielded the president by using legislative tricks and maneuvers and he probably delivered more federal dollars to his home state than most other senators. Apparently, these are the actions and reputations that cause a president to claim a Senate leader has done more for his country than any other senator. What has happened to the values of this country?

Pact framework better than expected Get a grip, people. President Obama is touting the framework deal with Iran as the diplomatic triumph of the century while its critics claim it threatens Israel, us, and the world. Could everyone please take a deep breath? The deal’s historic value won’t be determined before many key missing pieces are (or aren’t) fleshed out in ongoing talks, or before we see whether Iran agrees to these conditions. We won’t know whether the deal will burnish Obama’s weak foreign policy legacy before we see the final version by the June 30 deadline, or even later. But we do know this: Although the framework is imperfect and compromises were made, the U.S. negotiators got more out of Iran than many expected. If adequately fleshed out, this deal holds the potential to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuke for two decades or longer. So it’s time for congressional hawks to stop trying to kill any deal by imposing new sanctions while talks continue. Last week, I proposed four rules by which to judge an Iran deal. Let’s use these rules to evaluate what’s been achieved so far. l Rule One. It’s vital to weigh the risks of a deal against the security costs of no deal (this is a separate issue from whether a deal can be improved). Already, many critics of the framework accord claim it would be preferable to tighten sanctions and demand that Iran dismantle its program

If adequately fleshed out, this deal holds the potential to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuke for two decades or longer.” completely. That won’t happen. And if we look at history, while sanctions drove Iran to the table, they didn’t stop the ayatollahs from building more and better centrifuges to enrich uranium. That enrichment program has effectively been frozen while talks continue and would be radically shrunk by the proposed deal. On the other hand, imposing more sanctions now would push Tehran to abandon talks and start those centrifuges spinning again, while increasing their numbers and sophistication. This in turn would increase pressure on Israel and Washington to contemplate military strikes on Iran, starting a new Mideast war with an unpredictable ending. Military strikes might set Iran’s nuclear program back a couple of years. But they would surely convince Iran’s leaders that they needed to move beyond the nuclear
threshold and actually make a bomb, a decision they don’t appear to have made. l Rule Two. There is no perfect deal. The debate is over whether a deal is acceptable. The United States (along with the other negotiating nations: Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany) is trying to ensure that Iran has no path to building a bomb for at least 15 years, possibly longer. Iran has agreed, among other concessions, to reduce the number of its centrifuges by two-thirds, and to reduce its large stockpile of low-enriched uranium from 10,000 kilograms to 300. It will also redesign its Arak research reactor so it no longer has the capacity to produce plutonium fuel for a bomb. Most important, Tehran will accept an unprecedented regime of international inspections for every aspect of its nuclear energy program; these will hopefully ensure that, if the Iranians tried to break out or sneak out of a deal, it would take them a year, during which time they would be discovered. Many of these intense inspections are supposed to continue for two decades or indefinitely. Yes, there were worrying compromises in the framework, like the continued operation of the deep underground facility at Fordow, which may be bombproof. Any nuclear enrichment activities will be banned at Fordow for 15 years, and it will be under inspection even after then. But far better had it been closed.
And yes, there are unanswered questions and vague phrases in the framework that are nervous-making. Yet, when taken as a whole, this framework appears to hold the potential to meet the number-one priority of the talks — preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons for at least 15 years, and probably longer. The alternatives proposed by critics seem far more likely to push Iran to the nuclear threshold — and perhaps to a bomb. l Rule Three. Don’t expect a nuclear deal to improve Iran’s behavior in the region. Israel, Sunni Arab states, and American critics of a deal argue that an end to sanctions will provide Iran the wealth to act more aggressively. Perhaps. But an end to talks won’t improve Iranian behavior, and an Iran with a bomb would be even more threatening to the region. The trade-offs here are tricky, but they must be thought through clearly, not through an emotional haze. l Rule Four. If a deal is not at hand, keep talking. It may prove dicey to close this deal. But so long as the two sides are at the table, Iran will likely stick to a temporary freeze on its program. In the meantime, Obama would do well to assuage Congress by being more forthcoming in briefings. There is no perfect outcome to this process, but a decent deal is far preferable to the alternative if talks fail. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial-board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Obama on defensive at summit Until a few weeks ago, it looked like the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Panama would be a golden opportunity for President Barack Obama to seal his announced normalization of ties with Cuba, and remove a decades-long sore point in U.S.-Latin American relations. But with few days to go before the 34-country summit, Obama’s prospects of emerging a big winner look bleak. Several developments in the past few weeks will put Obama on the defensive at the mega-summit, a rare occasion where the U.S. president will meet collectively with all his Western Hemisphere counterparts.

Feel safer?

And because of the new law just passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Brownback, those carrying guns will need no license or training in their use. Do you feel safer now?

If Obama doesn’t do something bold, he will be upstaged by a military dictator and a few populist demagogues …” first of these meetings was held in Miami in 1994, they have taken place only every three or four years. First, the March 9 Obama executive order denying U.S. visas and freezing U.S. assets of seven Venezuelan government figures accused of human rights abuses or public corruption has led Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to seek 10 million signatures demanding the sanctions be repealed. Maduro has said he will present the massive petition to Obama in Panama. While Maduro’s petition drive is characteristic political theater to divert attention from Venezuela’s domestic problems, and the Obama administration has repeatedly said — contrary to Maduro’s assertions — the U.S. sanctions will not affect the Venezuelan population, the U.S.-Venezuela dispute will dominate news in much of Latin America. A second likely spoiler of the Obama-Castro fiesta could be Cuba itself. Cuba’s military dictator cannot afford not to openly support Venezuela at the summit, for economic and political reasons. Venezuela remains Cuba’s main economic benefactor, and Cuba anti-imperialist narrative remains the main justification for Castro’s refusal to allow free elections on the island. A third possible spoiler of the
Obama-Castro fiesta will be Cuban dissidents, who felt sidelined by Obama when he announced his Dec. 17 offer to normalize ties with Cuba. Guillermo Fariñas, a leading Cuban dissident who hopes to be at the Panama summit’s civil society forum, told me in a telephone interview from Cuba that unless Obama demands Cuba at the summit to take concrete steps toward democracy, “we will be very disappointed.” Among other things, Obama should demand that Cuba free political prisoners, stop beatings of government opponents, and allow freedom of assembly, Fariñas said. Granted, Obama will have some things playing in his favor in Panama. Unlike in previous Summits of the Americas, where Venezuela was riding high on booming oil prices and Brazil and Argentina had significant diplomatic clout in the region thanks to their own commodity price booms, the upcoming summit will take place in a very different world scenario. Today, with declining commodity prices, Venezuela’s economy is expected to contract by 7 percent this year, Argentina’s economy is projected to decline by 2 percent, and Brazil’s by 1 percent — its worst economic performance in the past 25 years. And the presidents of Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and several other U.S. critics in the region are at their lowest popularity rates ever. So what should Obama do at the Summit? Some U.S. summit observers say that appearing in a smiling picture alongside Cuba’s Castro, and in another one with Cuban dissidents, will suffice to make Obama the star of the summit. That, alongside his tentative deal with Iran, will portray him as a global peacemaker, they say. My opinion: It won’t work that way. While U.S. media attention will be fo-
cused on the Obama-Castro embrace, much of Latin America’s attention will be focused on the U.S. sanctions against Venezuelan officials. To come out as a winner, Obama should be bold. When Maduro does his theatrics and presents Obama with a document purporting to have been signed by millions of people — most of them Venezuelan public employees who have been forced to sign it — Obama should respond in kind. Rather than being taken by surprise and accepting it with a smile, as he did when late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez presented him with a book blaming the United States for all of the world’s evils at a similar summit in 2009, Obama should present Maduro with a copy of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. While doing that, Obama should demand that Venezuela’s legislative elections scheduled for later this year take place with a credible electoral tribunal, trustworthy voting lists, without media intimidation and with equal television time for opposition candidates. And instead of meeting with Cuban dissidents on the sides of the presidents’ summit, as he now plans to do, Obama should surprise the world by giving a Cuban opposition or human rights leader five minutes of his time during the summit’s plenary session. That would help disarm critics — especially in the U.S. Congress — who have doubts about his stated commitment to human rights in Cuba. If Obama doesn’t do something bold, he will be upstaged by a military dictator and a few populist demagogues, and what U.S. officials expected to be a legacy-setting summit will turn out to be a diplomatic fiasco. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

Jabara Airport in northeast Wichita sustained substantial damage, including the total collapse of a main hangar.

Despite several recent days of thunderstorms and rain, farmers in northeastern Kansas are wanting more precipitation, one weather expert said. Since Thursday, the Lawrence area has seen just over half an inch of rain, shy of the expected monthly average of just over two-thirds of an inch, said Mary Knapp, assistant state climatologist with Kansas State University. “The producers that I spoke to in the Kansas River Valley area were

Frat at U.Va. to sue ‘Rolling Stone’ Action follows scathing report over rape story Emma Hinchliffe and Roger Yu USA TODAY
The fraternity spotlighted in a discredited Rolling Stone article describing an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia said Monday it plans to sue the magazine, an immediate follow-up to a

scathing report that criticized Rolling Stone’s editorial process. “After 130 days of living under a cloud of suspicion as a result of reckless reporting by Rolling Stone magazine, today the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi announced plans to pursue all available legal action against the magazine,” the fraternity said. In November, Rolling Stone published a powerful 9,000-word story on an alleged gang rape by fraternity members of a U.Va. student identified only as “Jackie,”
triggering a firestorm of protests at the school and a police probe. After commentators and other news outlets began questioning the story, the magazine backed away from it and commissioned the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism to find out what had gone wrong. The Columbia report was issued Sunday night. In the wake of the Rolling Stone story, which the magazine formally retracted Sunday and removed from its website, the fra-
ternity’s members at U.Va. were “ostracized” and their house was vandalized, the fraternity said. “Clearly our fraternity and its members have been defamed,” the Virginia Phi Kappa Psi chapter’s president, Stephen Scipione, said in the statement. The fraternity also was irked that the story’s author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, didn’t apologize directly and that her editors will be able to keep their jobs. Erdely issued a note Sunday night apologizing for the article’s shortcom-
ing to the university and Rolling Stone colleagues and readers. Two of the three authors of the Columbia report — J-school dean Steve Coll and Sheila Coronel, its dean of academic affairs — addressed their findings at a press conference in New York on Monday. They deemed the fiasco “a systemic failure” by the magazine. While Erdely and her editors relied too heavily on a single source, Jackie is not to be blamed for the story’s problems, they said.

Rand Paul is not a libertarian or a Republican in his father’s mold, which could help the Kentucky senator as he kicks off his presidential campaign. Paul is set to officially jump into the 2016 presidential race today during a rally at a Louisville hotel scheduled for noon ET. Then he’s off to Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — the four states that go first in the presidential nominating process. Since he rode a Tea Party wave in 2010 to win his Senate race, the younger Paul has been compared with his dad, Ron. Like Jeb Bush, the likely presidential candidate most identified with a political dynasty, Paul has to traverse two worlds in the 2016 race. In one, Rand Paul must engage the Ron Paul supporters who were the backbone of his father’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. In the other, the senator says he would like to appeal to Republicans beyond the libertarian-minded conservatives who want less spending, low taxes and the government out of their lives. He says he hopes to make young people and minorities feel more welcome in the GOP. “I think I need to present my message, and it needs to be my message,” Rand Paul told The New York Times in February. Jesse Benton, a former aide to both Pauls, echoed a theme sounded by Jeb Bush when addressing his family’s legacy. “Rand just wants to be his own man and be seen as his own man,” said Benton, who works for a political committee supporting the senator. “That’s all anybody ever asks.

HOURLY PAY FOR RETAILERS’ CEOS: $5,859 Getting paid $10-an-hour is a welcome lift for some Walmart and McDonald’s workers. But compare that with what the average restaurant and retail CEOs earn. The 13 CEOs of a group of well-known retailers and restaurants haul in an average $5,859 an hour according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Putting that another way: It would take a $10-an-hour employee more than two months working each day to earn as much as the average CEO makes in a single hour. CEO pay will be on top of investors’ minds this week as proxy statements pour in from companies. These documents show investors how much top management is being paid. The analysis assumes a 40-hour-a-week schedule and uses total reported pay by the companies in the most recent proxy statements, which for some companies is 2014, but for some others is still 2013. Total pay includes salary but also stocks awards and bonuses. Matt Krantz

Closing arguments: Tsarnaev mixed up or malevolent? Jury ready to start deliberations today G. Jeffrey MacDonald Special for USA TODAY
The jury in the Boston Marathon bombing trial was set to deliberate first thing this morning after closing arguments Monday in the guilt-or-innocence phase of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s trial. Prosecutors ratcheted up their case that Tsarnaev, 21, is not the “passive, go-along-to-get-along guy” they say the defense made him out to be. Prosecutors paint-
ed him as a true believer in the cause of radical, violent jihad to avenge what he saw as harm by the U.S. against Muslims. “The plan was to make this bombing as memorable as it could possibly be,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb. The two sides clashed over the meaning of Tsarnaev’s writings in the backyard boat where he was found after a shootout with police. The shootout ended when he fled in a stolen Mercedes SUV, running over his injured brother, Tamerlan, 26, who died. Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty spoke at length about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s secret

reflected Tsarnaev’s true motives, he said. “The U.S. government is killing our innocent civilians,” Chakravarty read from what was
scrawled in the blood-stained boat. “As a Muslim,” Tsarnaev had written, “I can’t stand see to such evil go unpunished.” Defense attorney Judy Clarke said the writings did not represent Tsarnaev’s “message to the world.” If he had been a true jihadi, he would have penned “Death to America!” she said. Instead, he wrote what she termed “a 19year-old’s attempt to tell why they did what they did.” “He knew all along it was wrong to take innocent life. He said that,” Clarke told the jury. “But he expressed the very twisted belief ... that his actions would make a difference.”

Over the weekend, one of my favorite tunes roared onto the radio, a guitarfueled Eric Clapton siege called Let It Rain. I laughed out loud while glancing at the terrifyingly blue skies above. That Derek and the Dominoes classic was written as a love song, but for me and other Californians, it’s now a raindance soundtrack. When Gov. Jerry Brown announced last week a historic statewide measure that would aim for a 25% reduction in water use by the end of this year, the news seemed like a long time coming. December came in wet and wild, dumping rain and snow across the state. The prospects for a good ski season and an ever-important dense snowpack looked good. And then, nothing. Day after day of picture postcard quasi-spring weather, all while the East Coast was being pummeled with snow. While Brown’s mandate involves an immediate review of myriad state facilities that might be sucking up excess water, it is clear that homeowners will have to do their part.

We only run our dishwasher when it’s completely full (and it’s the water-sipping kind). We yell at our kids if they’re in the shower too long (a daily occurrence). Where could I possibly find a 25% reduction? By ripping out all my landscaping and replacing it with cacti, it seems. “Overall, household water use is much better today than in the ’90s, but still half of it goes to landscaping,” says Heather Cooley, water program director for the research-focused Pacific Institute in Oakland. Drought resistant plants are the way to go in a state that is innately waterchallenged, she says.

Ron’s campaigns is pragmatic and germane, rather than grand and strategic,” said Benton, who is married to Ron Paul’s granddaughter. “Ron was never into the political strategy.” One of those lessons: being a “conservative realist” on foreign policy who believes in a strong national defense and overseas intervention if the American interest is clear, Benton said. Even when Paul approves of military intervention, it is not the kind of open-ended endorsement that more hawkish GOP lawmakers support. For example, Rand Paul has called for a declaration of war against the Islamic State. He in-
troduced a joint resolution that would put limits on the duration of fighting, geography of the battle and use of ground troops. Though he would eventually like to eliminate all foreign aid, Paul has tied funding to actions. He has tried to cut off U.S. money to countries such as Pakistan, Egypt and Libya for discriminating against Christians and persecuting women. Richard Grenell, a former spokesman to four U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations, said Paul’s foreign aid strategy is a sign of growth. “What started out to be a troubling foreign policy has its moments of brilliance,” he said.
WASHINGTON Jeb Bush is not Hispanic, even if he somehow said so on an old voter registration form. The New York Times obtained a copy of Bush’s 2009 voter registration application from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department in which the former Florida governor marked “Hispanic” in the section asking about race and ethnicity. Bush, a scion of one of America’s best-known political families, speaks fluent Spanish and has some of the strongest ties to Hispanics of any potential GOP presidential contender. But he’s definitely not Hispanic. “It’s unclear where the paperwork error was made. The governor’s family certainly got a good laugh out of it,” Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said Monday. Jeb Bush Jr., youngest son of the former Florida governor, trolled his father on Twitter but suggested with the hashtag #HonoraryLatino that there are some clear ties. “My mistake! Don’t think I fooled anyone!” the elder Bush tweeted.

Bush’s wife, Columba, was born and raised in Mexico and the couple met while he was on an exchange program as a prep school student. As a young man, Bush worked for two years in Venezuela as a vice president for Texas Commerce Bank. While governor, Bush enjoyed the support of Hispanic voters and had strong ties to the Cuban Americans who are a significant presence in the Miami area. Bush, who has not yet officially declared his candidacy, is not the first politician to find his heritage in question during a campaign. Sen.

DEATH PENALTY TRIAL OK’D IN MUSLIM KILLINGS CASE
BUZZING BEE INTERRUPTS WHITE HOUSE EASTER EVENT
Della Cava covers technology and culture for USA TODAY from San Francisco
Catalina Camia
IN BRIEF Prosecutors can seek the death penalty for Craig Stephen Hicks, who is charged with killing three Muslim college students in North Carolina, a state judge ruled Monday. Judge Orlando Hudson Jr. ruled in a Superior Court hearing in Durham, N.C., the News and Observer of Raleigh reported. Hicks, 46, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the Feb. 10 slayings of Deah Barakat, 23; his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. They were shot at a condo complex in Chapel Hill. Police accused Hicks of being motivated by a dispute over parking spaces. Families of the victims say they were targeted because of their Muslim faith and have pushed for hate-crime charges.
He points out that when Stanford University was first built in the late 1800s, it sourced plants from “similar climates, such as Morocco and Spain.” Starr says what we need is “a new, more mature California lifestyle, because when you face scarcity, you need a higher level of culture.” But are we just buying time? Should we humans even be in parts of California that never were hospitable to the pioneers or Native American tribes? A now classic 1986 treatise on the West’s vexing water issues — Marc Reisner’s Cadillac Desert — opens with this haunting observation-cum-conclusion: “You can drive a thousand miles in the West and encounter fewer towns than you would crossing New Hampshire. Westerners call what they have established out here a civilization, but it would be more accurate to call it a beachhead. And if history is any guide, the odds that we can sustain it would have to be regarded as low.” But I’m not hitting the road just yet. California is worth accommodating, not abandoning. So I’ll keep an eye on my water meter, keep the landscape on the crispy side and keep yelling at my kids. And if turning up Clapton helps, sorry neighbors, I’ll be doing that, too.

am.” Ron Paul, who retired from Congress after the 2012 elections, was not viewed as presidential timber by mainstream Republicans. He was quirky and known as Dr. No for voting against every House bill that didn’t, in his view, stick to the Constitution. In the 2012 primary debates, the elder Paul stood out with his stance against U.S. intervention in global crises, a push to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a call to close all U.S. military bases around the world. As someone close to both Pauls, Benton has a unique vantage point on their relationship. He ran the senator’s 2010 campaign and managed Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential bid. Benton resigned as Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager in 2014 when his name came up in an endorsement-forpay scheme tied to the 2012 Iowa caucuses. He denied any wrongdoing. “What Rand learned from
“On average, we use about 140 gallons per person per day, but most people really have no idea what they’re using,” says Cooley, who notes that tech-based improvements to water metering could cut use, much like Nest thermostats encourage users to cut via detailed breakdowns on energy use throughout the day. “We could do better.” A lot better, it seems. Cooley says drought-aware Australians are down to 55 gallons per person per day, through a mix of desert plants, efficient appliances and household rainwater collection systems. “We can still have a vibrant economy and a growing population,” she says. “But it’ll all come down to how we manage and use our water supply.” California historian Kevin Starr is also bullish on the Golden State’s ability to manage its way through this parched new normal. “This state invented itself through water,” largely by bending the mighty Colorado River toward the brown central and southern part of the state, says Starr, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Now it will just have to reinvent itself through a new view of what it means to live here.” Starr says the Great American Lawn “is a thoroughly British invention” and has no place in California, even if those rolling patches of green have come to represent the idyllic domestic life.

Chaplains who are part of the Army’s first line of defense against suicide say they need
more training in how to prevent soldiers from killing themselves, according to a RAND survey published online Tuesday. Nearly all chaplains and chaplain assistants surveyed said they have dealt with suicidal soldiers, and most said they encourage troubled soldiers to get help. Because of confidentiality, roughly half said they would be reluctant to alert someone in the chain of command about the soldier, and roughly a third said they would not call a crisis hotline for the GI. Forty-four percent of chaplains and 57% of chaplain assistants said they need training in suicide prevention, the survey found. “In this circumstance where people are going to them and using (them) like a behavioral health provider, let’s make sure they have a basic amount of competency,” said Rajeev Ramchand, lead author of the study. Army Office of Chaplains is studying where there may be gaps in intervention practices, spokeswoman Tatjana Christian said. The RAND study was paid for by the Pentagon. The findings were based on a 2012 survey in which 41% of Army chaplains took part. — Gregg Zoroya

Untested supplements chemical found Study: Material related to amphetamines may pose risk of stroke, heart attack
Karen Weintraub
Special for USA TODAY
A handful of weight-loss and sports supplements contain a never-before-tested ingredient that’s closely related to amphetamines — not the plant extract indicated on their label, according to a Harvard-led study published online today by the journal Drug Testing and Analysis. The products, sold under names like JetFuel T-300, FastinXR and Black Widow, contain chemicals similar to amphetamines, which can trigger stroke, heart attack or even death, said Pieter Cohen, the lead researcher and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Norcross, Ga., which makes many of the questionable products and uses the motto “found in nature, backed by science,” did not return several phone calls. The Council for Responsible Nutrition, a Washington, D.C.based trade association representing the dietary supplement industry, described the problem products as a “very small sliver of the industry,” and agreed with Cohen that the faulty labeling and inclusion of the chemical is unacceptable. Both Cohen, also an internist at the Cambridge Health Alliance, and the trade group blame the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for not cracking down on companies that sell the misla-
beled and potentially dangerous products. “The FDA absolutely has the authority and they should be going after products like this,” said Steve Mister, president and CEO of the Council for Responsible Nutrition. “This has no business in the marketplace.” More than a year ago, scientists with the FDA concluded that products labeled as having Acacia rigidula, a perennial shrub found in south Texas and Mexico, instead contained a synthetic chemical cousin to amphetamines, called BMPEA. The government has not taken any formal action against the products since, but released a statement Friday emphasizing concern for public safety. “While
“The FDA ... has the authority and they should be going after products like this.” Steve Mister, president and CEO of the Council for Responsible Nutrition
our review of the available information on products containing BMPEA does not identify a specific safety concern at this time, the FDA will consider taking regulatory action, as appropriate,” the statement said. The response has been stronger in other countries. A British official sent a letter in March 2014 declaring that Acacia rigidula does not meet European safety standards. Just before Christmas, the Canadian government recalled a product because it contained “two undeclared amphetamine-like drug substances that pose serious health risks,” including BMPEA. Last week, 14 attorneys general asked Congress to investigate the supplements industry.

YouTube star steers kids off extremist path Humza Arshad has conducted anti-extremism workshops at more than 30 schools and colleges across London this spring.
Muslim comedian Arshad answers call for help from British police
Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY
Humza Arshad is a popular guy. With a YouTube channel that has attracted more than 60 million views, the British Muslim comedian shot to Internet fame when his Diary of a Badman comedy series debuted five years ago. So when British police were looking for alternative ways of reaching young people to highlight the dangers of radicalization, they knew who to call. Arshad, 29, was initially recruited by East Midlands Police in central England to help prevent the radicalization of young people by holding workshops at schools in the area. Scotland Yard — the police force in London — was so impressed by the initiative that it invited Arshad to hold anti-extremism discussions for 11- to 18-year-olds at more than 30 schools and colleges across the city this spring. The workshops center around a 15-minute video, which features Arshad as a hapless character whose cousin falls under the influence of Islamic extremists, before seeing sense and returning to the right path. Arshad, the students and the police then talk.
TIMELESS MEDIA
The British initiative comes as Parisians mark three months today since the attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper office, the starting point of a three-day terror spree by Islamic extremist gunmen that killed 17 people. When he walked into the room at Ayesha School — a Muslim girls’ school in north London — students were incredulous at his unexpected appearance. Many said they have heard of Arshad and watched him on YouTube. “I think the media portrays Muslims and Islam in a very negative way,” Arshad told his audience. “At the same time, there are a few misguided individuals who make us look bad.” Arshad said he gets “a lot of great feedback” on Twitter and Instagram. “We make it fun, we

don’t make it too preachy. If they have any concerns they can talk to us.” He said the response was “better than we even expected.” Students from the nearby Unity Girls High School also attended the workshop at Ayesha School. Sara Taitt, 15, said Arshad’s message could help confused young people who look to him as a role model. “Even if he does joke around a lot, he can be serious,” added Yusra Omar, 16. The two girls spoke of their shock that three Muslim girls from Bethnal Green Academy, in east London on the other side of town, had traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State in February. Arshad said he knows the brother of one of the girls who went to Syria. “None of us saw it coming,” he told the students. “That family is destroyed now. If we can prevent that ever happening again, (we’ll) try our best.” A Home Affairs Committee report released in late March said “vast improvement” is needed in communication between the police, schools and parents to stop terrorists from preying on young British citizens. The report said police must exchange information with schools and community groups to prevent radicalization.
Kenya airstrikes blast two militant camps Action in retaliation for last week’s terror attack that killed 148 John Bacon USA TODAY
Kenyan jets blasted two Islamic militant camps across the border in Somalia on Monday in retaliation for last week’s terror attack that killed 148 people and left Kenya enveloped in shock, pain and mourning. The Somalia-based al-Shabab militant group has taken responsibility for Thursday’s attack at Garissa University College. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta had threatened to retaliate “in the severest way possible” against the al-Qaeda-linked militants.
“We bombed two Shabab camps in the Gedo region,” Kenyan army spokesman David Obonyo told AFP. “The two targets were hit and taken out. The two camps are destroyed.” He said the bombings are part of a continuing process against al-Shabab. No casualty reports related to the airstrikes were immediately released. Ali Hussein, a resident of Gabdon, a village near the Somali border, said the airstrikes appeared to strike grassland used by nomads to graze their animals. “We are not aware of any military camps located there,” he told the Associated Press. Across Kenya, somber friends and relatives continued the arduous task of identifying the often mangled bodies from Thursday’s attack. Beatrice Musungu was
overcome with grief and anger when she saw the body of her cousin, university student Oliver Maina, in a mortuary. “These people are inhuman,” she told The Standard. “They destroyed life that they did not create. My cousin was humble. I cannot believe that terrorists have taken away the life of such a humble soul.” Survivors of the Garissa attack said the four gunmen lined up non-Muslims and executed them. The siege ended when security forces stormed the school and killed the gunmen. Kenya is a Christian-dominated nation of 45 million. The vast majority of war-torn Somalia’s 10 million people are Muslim. Al-Shabab said the attack was a reprisal for Kenyan efforts to put down the Islamic insurgency in
Somalia. Al-Shabab leaders have warned of a “long, gruesome war” unless Kenya withdrew its troops from Somalia. Kenya has repeatedly struck militant bases in southern Somalia since 2011. Kenya also has joined the African Union force fighting the insurgency. On Monday, Garissa Township officials and National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale called for closure of Somali refugee camps in Kenya, saying they were used to plan attacks against Kenyans. More than 300,000 Somalis live in the camps. Duale said the United Nations can relocate the camps across the border. The government is offering a $220,00 reward for the capture of Mohamed Mohamud, also known as Gamadhere, accused of masterminding the Garissa attack.
WASHINGTON Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer’s political aides unveiled a campaign Monday to target the 2016 Republican presidential field on climate-change issues in battleground states. At the center of Steyer’s strategy: linking the candidates to the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, whose network has committed to spend nearly $900 million to advance its free-market agenda before the 2016 presidential USA TODAY election. Tom Steyer “The Kochs and their allies are creating the new Koch Republican Party, the party of Big Oil,” Chris Lehane, Steyer’s top political strategist, said Monday as he announced the new effort to put GOP White House hopefuls on what Steyers’ team called the climate-change “hot seat.” Steyer, a retired hedge fund founder worth about $1.6 billion, poured more than $70 million of his fortune into 2014 races to help like-minded Democrats. He emerged as the biggest single super PAC donor of the midterm elections. His NextGen Climate Action super PAC prevailed in two of the four Senate races in which it was active. Republicans ended up seizing control of the Senate last year, despite an aggressive push by top Democrats to publicly denounce the Kochs’ political activism. Lehane would not disclose the 2016 budget but said Steyer “will spend what it takes” to make global warming a top political issue. “We need to act now,” Lehane said. “Whoever is the next president really, in our view, represents the last, best shot to avoid a climate disaster for our children.” James Davis, a spokesman for Koch-aligned Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, said his group “will remain focused on advancing free-market principles and a free society.” “Tom Steyer and Chris Lehane have already spent millions of dollars trying to divide America by demonizing job creators, and they’ve had little return on investment,” he said. The launch of the NextGen campaign comes before a slew of presidential campaign announcements. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is set to kick off his campaign Tuesday in Louisville. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., plans an announcement about his political future April 13. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz became the first major Republican candidate to join the race, announcing his bid last month.

Small-business hiring is picking up and could account for most new jobs this year as large companies pull back amid global economic troubles. The heavy lifting by firms with fewer than 50 employees is likely to prop up a labor market that some economists expect to slow after posting breakout job gains of 3.1 million in 2014. “I think small businesses will account for a larger share of job growth this year than at any time since before the recession,” says
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, which helps payroll processor ADP compile a monthly business employment survey. Zandi says he expects small firms to contribute well over half of all payroll gains. ADP said last week that small businesses added a solid 103,000 jobs in February and 108,000 last month even as payroll growth at larger companies slowed significantly. The Labor Department’s more closely watched employment report Friday showed the public and private sectors added just 126,000 jobs in March, down from 264,000 in February. Bill Dunkelberg, chief economist of the National Federation of Independent Business, expects the surprisingly weak total to be
Early in the recovery, larger companies added jobs more rapidly than small ones in part because they could tap fast-growing international markets. But the strong dollar is making U.S. goods more expensive for overseas buyers, disproportionately hobbling larger companies. Meanwhile, Zandi says, small businesses are poised to take advantage of an accelerating homebuilding market and low energy prices that have goosed consumer and business demand. Method Savvy, of Durham, N.C., a 16-employee marketing company, added three full-timers in the first quarter and plans to hire another eight to 10 this year, says CEO Jake Finkelstein. “A lot of the companies we work with are more willing to take a calculated risk,” he says.
SMALL BUSINESSES GROWING
Small businesses (under 50 employees) added more jobs than large companies last month: Small Large Month businesses companies Jan. 92,000 128,000 Feb. 103,000 110,000 March 108,000 81,000 SOURCES: ADP, MOODY’S ANALYTICS
revised up, in part because Labor often doesn’t fully capture smallbusiness hiring. NFIB says small businesses added an average 0.18 workers per firm in March, one of the best readings in the last decade. Over the next three months, 24% of the businesses surveyed plan to add workers, while just 4% expect to cut.

Dow Jones industrial average jumped 118 points, or 0.7%, to 17,881 following the long holiday weekend. With the unofficial kickoff to the first-quarter earnings season set for Wednesday after the closing bell when aluminum giant Alcoa reports, Wall Street is bracing for what could be the first quarter of earnings contraction since the third quarter of 2009.

Analysts are the most bearish on U.S. corporate profits since the end of the financial crisis six years ago, creating angst on Wall Street as the first-quarter earnings season gets sets to kick off. Earnings fears are the latest worry to rattle Wall Street, which is already on edge from Friday’s weaker-than-expected reading on March job creation, uncertainty about the timing of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and a U.S. economy that experienced a soft patch in the first three months of the year because of wicked winter weather, less capital spending in the depressed oil patch and fewer exports resulting from the fallout of a strong dollar. “Expect turbulence ahead,” says John Stoltzfus, chief investment strategist at Oppenheimer. “Anticipation of the start of firstquarter earnings season on Wednesday could add to tension, as well.” On Monday, at least, the tension didn’t seem to have any effect, as the 37.0%

ago, which is far below the initial projection of +5.3% back on Jan. 1. Five S&P 500 companies report earnings this week. The aggressive slashing of quarterly earnings estimates by analysts has lowered the bar significantly, perhaps low enough to make it easier for companies to top expectations, Andrew Burkly, an analyst at Oppenheimer, told clients. Companies will face a “low hurdle as analysts (are the) most bearish since (the) end of (the) financial crisis,” Burkly said in a research report. “The consensus estimates for the first quarter are manageable and should be easily surpassed.” Burkly believes companies outside the hard-hit energy patch will be able to post strong enough earnings to offset the big drag on the S&P 500’s overall earnings caused by the big drop in earnings in the energy sector caused by a 50%-plus drop in U.S. crude prices. He expects overall S&P 500 profits to top the “downbeat” consensus by anywhere from 3 to 5 percentage points, which would enable the index to post a positive quarter of profit growth. The question now is whether the economic headwinds are temporary, paving the way for a resumption of growth going forward.

Have a college degree on Starbucks Chain doubles free tuition for workers Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY
Starbucks soon may find itself almost as famous for college diplomas as it is for java. The coffee giant late Monday announced it was doubling its free college tuition plan for employees to cover a full four years of college instead of two. It also will offer employees faster tuition reimbursement — after every semester instead of after completing 21 class credits. The program, in partnership with Arizona State University, offers all eligible full-time and parttime employees full tuition coverage for a four-year bachelor’s degree though ASU’s online degree program. Starbucks says it will invest up to $250 million or more to help at least 25,000 employees graduate by 2025. The average tuition cost for four years at ASU Online is $60,000. “By giving our partners access

More than 144,000 employees would currently qualify for the free tuition.
to four years of full tuition coverage, we provide them with a critical tool for a lifelong opportunity,” says Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, in a statement. “We’re stronger as a nation when everyone is afforded a pathway to success.” At a time when college tuition costs have escalated into the stratosphere, the announcement is potentially a major professional and morale booster for thousands of Starbucks employees.
More than 144,000 employees would currently qualify for the free tuition, says Starbucks spokeswoman Linda Mills. Tuition costs jumped about 3% in the 2014-15 school year, with in-state tuition at four-year public schools averaging $9,139 for the school year and out-of-state tuition at public schools averaging $22,958, reports the College Board. Tuition at private, nonprofit schools averaged $31,231, the College Board estimates.
The move would seem to give Starbucks a huge public relations boost at a time when it could use one. The chain faced intense criticism last month after it rolled out a “Race Together” program — along with USA TODAY — to stimulate conversation on America’s racial divide. The program, which included baristas writing the words “Race Together” on customers’ cups, was widely ridiculed as naive. “Compared to the Race Together idea, which was as halfbaked as it gets, this idea is a home run on several levels,” said Peter Madden, CEO of AgileCat, a brand consultancy. “It’s a big bounce back for Starbucks.” Nearly 2,000 Starbucks employees have already enrolled in the program, which offers 49 undergraduate degree programs through ASU Online. “It taps into the soul of their brand: community,” says Madden. “To give an employee four years of free college is to say, ‘We care about you and want you to have your best possible life.’ ” Employees have no commitment to remain at the the company past graduation.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY
Investors getting impatient with the Federal Reserve’s onagain, off-again timetable for rate hikes are likely to get few clues from Wednesday’s release of the Fed’s March meeting minutes. The reason: The weaker-thanexpected employment report for March, which came in on Good Friday at 126,000 new jobs vs. the 245,000 Wall Street was expecting, has all but postponed the feared June “liftoff” date for the first interest rate hike. While it finally did away with the term “patient” in its policy statement, a term used to describe its slow-as-she-goes ratehike plans, the Janet Yellen-led Fed also stressed that it wouldn’t be impatient, either. Yellen also

said she would like to see employment improve more and see inflation rise closer to its 2% mandate before commencing rate hikes. Instead, the Fed was greeted with the worst job-creation number since December 2013. Add on top of that an economic soft patch that will result in GDP growth of about 1% in the first quarter and the negative fallout from the stronger dollar and plunging oil prices, Wall Street believes this new info makes the Fed’s thinking back in March outdated and, therefore, moot. “Friday’s weak payrolls may make (the March minutes) less meaningful as (a) June (hike) is almost certainly off the table now,” says Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management. Investors looking for rate-hike clues, he adds, are better off focusing on more current speeches from Fed officials.

Volatile is an understatement, so watch out Q: Should I invest in Herbalife? Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY
A: Giant hedge fund managers and regulators are all over Herbalife. Most long-term investors should run the other way. Speculators and traders are hardpressed to find a better stock than Herbalife to argue over. The company, which makes a variety of nutritional supplements, is subject to a non-stop pingpong match between investors who see it as a profit machine and those who don’t think the business model is sustainable. The stock also generates the kind of volatility that traders thrive on. Shares of Herbalife have gyrated between a high of $69.69 and a low of $27.60 a share over the past 52 weeks. Those swings can be extremely profitable for traders, especially those using borrowed money or financial instruments including options. Analysts, too, are largely positive on the stock. The average Wall Street analyst rates Herbalife an “outperform” and has an 18-month average price target on the stock of $56.20, says S&P Capital IQ. If analysts are right that means this stock still has 30% potential upside before hitting the target. Nonetheless, Herbalife is not the kind of stock that most long-term investors have any business playing with. The stock has a five-year beta of 1.4 — meaning it’s 40% more volatile than the stock market.

central banks and their role in monetary policy, the subject of a book he’s been writing since leaving Pimco. “Central banks look at growth, at employment, at wages. They are too low. They don’t have the instruments they need, but they feel obliged to do something,” he told the Register. “So they artificially lift asset prices by maintaining zero interest rates and by using their balance sheet to buy assets.” The strategy is aimed at prompting spending by consumers and business, said El-Erian.

He is believed to have suffered the injury while filming action scenes for the next Bond film, ‘Spectre,’ in Mexico. Filming began last December and has since gone on to Rome and Mexico. Eon Productions said Monday that Craig will rejoin the production when it resumes filming April 22 at Pinewood Studios in England.

Peerless Brian Wilson plumbs past in new songs Younger artists offer Beach Boys vibe on his solo album ‘No Pier Pressure’ Elysa Gardner @ElysaGardner USA TODAY
Brian Wilson’s solo album, No Pier Pressure, was conceived as a Beach Boys album. Instead, it teams one of the greatest creative minds and most distinctive voices of the ’60s with some younger artists — plus a few old friends. Alt-pop duo She & Him (featuring Zooey Deschanel) and singer/songwriters Kacey Musgraves, Nate Ruess and Sebu Simonian are among the voices that appear on Pressure, out today. Asked how he selected them, Wilson, 72, says simply: “I just knew they were right. Because we wanted to have a lot of harmonies on the album.” In a separate conversation, Wilson’s wife of 20 years, Melinda, says: “Brian loved their voices, and they didn’t have to do a million takes to get what he wanted.” Wilson’s longtime collaborator
Joe Thomas, who co-produced Pressure and co-wrote most of the songs, says, “I think Brian always works best in a group.” Tensions toward the end of the Beach Boys’ 50th-anniversary tour made it clear that recording with Wilson’s old group wasn’t an option. Thomas says the breezy, melodic tunes on Pier “remind me of Beach Boys singles back in the day.” The songs often took shape as Wilson and Thomas, who stayed at the Wilsons’ Beverly Hills home while recording, were driving to the studio in Hollywood, checking out Top 40 radio. “We wanted our kids to think we were cool,” quips Thomas, noting that Wilson discovered Ruess that way, via his hits with the band fun. “When you take the time to listen, there’s a lot of talent out there. Then we’d cross-check everything with

our kids.” Melinda Wilson, who has five children with Wilson, ages 5 to 18, says the couple are more likely listen to “oldies” at home. “Brian generally has the ’60s stations on, and he loves Frank Sinatra.” Before he enjoyed such happy domesticity, Wilson endured rougher times — documented in the biopic Love & Mercy, due June 5. The film follows Wilson during two eras: We first see him as a brilliant but troubled young man (played by Paul Dano) in the ’60s. John Cusack portrays Wilson in the ’80s, now under the dubious care and control of therapist/guru Eugene Landy, who famously exploited Wilson’s psychological struggles. Wilson says “it was a little scary” to see the film, “because it brought back a lot of memories.” Now, though, he is focused on the future: “We might make a rock ’n’ roll album sometime this year.”

‘Digital Collection’ blasts its way onto HD platforms Friday Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY
The power of the Force is about to become much more portable. On Friday, The Star Wars Digital Movie Collection arrives on digital HD platforms (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, PlayStation Store and Verizon FiOS), the first time the six films in George Lucas’ two space trilogies have been released for download. “We’re thrilled that fans will be able to enjoy the Star Wars saga ... wherever they go,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said in a statement. Not only will Jedi lovers be able to finally watch the epic cosmic battles on their tablets and smartphones in preparation for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (out Dec. 18), but the collection

also includes deleted scenes, plus new bonus features about costumes, effects and weapons used since the first Star Wars premiered in 1977.
A digital release is a huge deal for fans and Lucasfilm alike, says Eric Geller, who writes for fan site TheForce.net. It’s the only remaining way to re-monetize the original films, he says, and portability is enough of a draw for many who already own the homevideo releases to invest in another version (suggested retail: $20
per movie, $100 for the bundle). The Star Wars movies have a history of being late to embrace the format of the moment: The original trilogy didn’t debut on DVD until 2004, and it hit Blu-ray just four years ago. Downloads are the next step in finding a new generation of viewers. “If you want to reach new fans where they live, it has to be with digital media,” Geller says. “So much of what we’re seeing right now, from (the animated TV series) Rebels to comics, is about both preparing people for The Force Awakens and building a universe that can fill their newfound Star Wars needs.” For Roger Christian, the Oscarwinning Star Wars set decorator who discusses the making of the Millennium Falcon in a Creating the Universe feature, the digital collection is a way to keep Lucas’ legacy going for years to come. “Storytellers of old would tell campfire stories, but underneath were these keys to us as human beings,” he says. “George is the one true modern mythmaker.”

FOOD CHAMPIONS
Double Take

hen it comes to public health in Douglas County, two names stand out: Rick Martin and Di Xie. Martin, a chef, restaurant owner and educator, and Xie, a Free State High School student, gardener and community food activist, have been chosen as the 2015 Douglas County Health Champions by the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department. They are being honored at a community breakfast on Friday morning, and the public is invited. Both Martin and Xie volunteer countless hours to make not just food but great food that’s accessible to the residents of Douglas County. Maley Wilkins, chair of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Board, said Martin and Xie are being honored for their significant efforts to model, encourage and promote health in the community. “Our champions have touched thousands of lives through their efforts to encourage healthy eating,� Wilkins said. “We hope residents will join us in thanking them for their contributions.�

So far, the garden has produced more than 14,000 pounds of fruits, vegetables and herbs, of which 2,000 pounds have been used in the school cafeteria. The remainder of the produce has been sold through The Community Mercantile as a way to build financial sustainability for the project. This will be Xie’s fourth year with the garden. She started in eighth grade as a student gardener and now mentors others as a garden assistant. Xie said she’s learned how to properly plant, water and weed the garden.
“It’s very meticulous, and there is a science behind it,� she said. The gardeners grow a variety of items, including carrots, lettuce, beets, raspberries, blackberries, green beans, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, basil and oregano. They also have apple and pear trees.

Plan ahead with living wills, power of attorney By Terrie Kaiser Lawrence Memorial Hospital
April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day. This day is set aside to inspire and educate people about the importance of advance care planning. It is an initiative to encourage patients to express their wishes regarding health care and for providers to respect those wishes, whatever
they may be. Adults can express these wishes by creating advance directives, which come in two main forms. One is the durable torney for health care is power of attorney; the a document that names your health care proxy. other is a living will.

Wes: Kyra and I have achieved a great milestone today. We’re being asked one of the perennial questions from NPR’s Car Talk. Though now retired, it will probably live on in reruns until cars drive themselves. You can decide which of us is channeling Click and which is Clack as we honor their memory today. There’s logic in both your argument and your husband’s. Here’s what you don’t want to do: make your child’s first car an awesome latemodel ride. Kid cars are not family status symbols. Too many families put too much money into a vehicle that has a statistically high chance of getting dented up or worse. So your husband’s point is well taken. On the other hand, you want the safest vehicle you can afford and still keep the price in the “OK to bang up� range. It’s a complicated math problem: How much is your child’s safety worth against the need to affordably manage risk? My suggestion is that you look for a small, cheap, and reliable compact as old as you can go and still get good crash stats and curtain side airbags. Some folks recommend a big car or even an SUV based on supposed crashworthiness, but you have to Please see CARS, page 2C

outreach at The Community Mercantile, is the project’s coordinator. She said students learn a high level of responsibility and self-confidence through the project, and some become outstanding leaders like Xie. “Lots of kids can get in the dirt, but we’re looking for youth who can influence their peers and speak to what we’re trying to do here, and in that way Di is quite extraordinary,” O’Connor said. “She’s a good communicator. She has a tremendous work ethic and she’s one of the students we can rely on to self-motivate.” Xie called the experience life-changing. She’s become a public speaker, giving a presentation to the Lawrence School Board and a garden tour to former Kansas Department of Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman. She’s also influenced her family’s shopping and eating habits. “I’ve definitely brought home new fruits and vegetables for them to try,” she said. “In the grocery store I will look at nutrition labels to see what the ingredients are and explain to my mom why we can’t buy certain things. I’m really aware about what’s on my plate. I think my family has started doing the same thing.” As a mentor, she passes along her knowledge to the new student gardeners. She said it’s inspiring to hear them talk about trying new foods and planting gardens at home. “Our garden may be small, but it has reached very many lives,” Xie said. Xie plans to pursue a career in dentistry because she knows there is a need for dentists and she can continue to help people be healthy.

The event draws hundreds of attendees. l Creating and teaching cooking classes at Douglas County’s food pantry, Just Food, and then showing others how to teach the classes. Jeremy Farmer, executive director at Just Food, said Martin approached him in 2011 and asked how he could help people who are hungry in Douglas County. Farmer said they talked for four or five hours and during that conversation Martin brought up the idea of teaching residents how to cook nutritious meals that tasted good and cost less than $2 per serving. “Cooking classes had never crossed my mind before, and so we started dreaming,” Farmer said. Just Food launched its first cooking class in September 2012, and since then, 1,600 families have participated in at least one class. Just Food surveyed those clients and they learned that 87 percent were more self-sufficient, 95 percent wanted to make healthier choices and 95 percent wanted to take an intermediate cooking class. One client said, “I feel like I’m eating rich-people food.” Overall, there was a 50 percent reduction in the amount of fast food they were eating. Martin also helped Just Food secure a cooler to store produce that is donated by local farmers or grown in the pantry’s garden. Despite his successes, Martin is humble about his work. “It’s about the greater good of the community. There’s just a certain reward in feeling like the legacy is going to be that I did help a lot of people,” he said. “I think that’s a lot better legacy than to have a chain of successful restaurants.” — Karrey Britt is the communications coordinator for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Dear Annie: I recently saw the results of a survey that said the more work men do around the house, the less sex they get. I have seen many comments in your column from women who stated the opposite. I have always helped out with cooking, mopping floors, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc., and never once did I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me. I mentioned it to my wife, who said, “Sorry.” So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another woman’s answer was “maybe, maybe not.” So what’s up with the conflicting

Bawdy TBS comedy is worrisome I can handle vulgarity; it’s the stupidity I can’t stand. Last week, when I wondered how much a pornographic sensibility had informed the new comedy “Younger” (9 p.m., TV Land), I had no idea I was embarking upon a theme. In the pilot of tonight’s new series “Your Family or Mine” (9 p.m., TBS), a young couple, Oliver and Kelli (Kyle Howard and Kat Foster), set out upon a date. Having hired a baby-sitter, they have to make a quick pit stop at his parents’ house. K e l l i knows that her mother-in-law, Lois (JoBeth Williams), doesn’t like her and that Lois will think she’s a terrible mother if she tells her she’s gone back to work. Oliver’s dad, Ricky (Richard Dreyfuss), is a crusty old soul. So far, so good. It seems like typical family stuff. In-law jokes and all that. But mere seconds into the show, Oliver and Kelli begin to discuss a porn movie they watched together during a recent hotel stay. OK, perhaps the writers are trying to give the show “edge.” Maybe they don’t want the “Family” in the show’s title to give people any ideas. But it gets hideous real fast. Once ensconced in his parents’ place, Oliver shows how he has set up an Internet surveillance camera in his home to keep track of the baby-sitter. All of a sudden, Ricky begins to get excited. Did I mention he was played by Richard Dreyfuss? And when they see the baby-sitter’s best female friend come over, Dad gets even more aroused and begins to discuss a porn movie that he had seen. Oliver and Kelli are suddenly deeply embarrassed. Not that porn movies have become the subject of a family gathering, but that they have the same taste in porn as Oliver’s dad. Oh, the horror. To see Richard Dreyfuss in a role this thoughtlessly written and casually depraved is to mourn for the very future of comedy, if not civilization itself. Tonight’s other highlights

NCAA MEN • DUKE 68, WISCONSIN 63
One for the ages
David J. Phillip/AP Photo
DUKE PLAYERS CELEBRATE THEIR 68-63 VICTORY OVER WISCONSIN in the NCAA championship game on Monday in Indianapolis.
Young Devils rally past veterans Indianapolis (ap) — Call them freshmen. Please, do not call them kids. Led by Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor, Duke’s talented group of youngsters played like salty old pros down the stretch, outscoring Wisconsin by 14 points over the final 13 minutes Monday night to grit out a 68-63 victory for the program’s fifth national title. Okafor, the likely first pick in the NBA Draft if he decides to leave, got outplayed by Badgers center Frank Kaminsky most of the night but came through like a veteran when the pressure was highest. He made two straight buckets over Kaminsky, sandwiched between a pair of three-pointers from Jones,
to help the Blue Devils (35-4) turn a one-time nine-point deficit into an eightpoint lead with 1:22 left. A furious Wisconsin rally ensued, but it came up short. Then, it was Okafor on the bottom of a rowdy, raucous dog pile — a scene Okafor very reminiscent of the last time the Final Four was Indianapolis, back in 2010 when Duke edged out Butler in another scintillat-
ing final. The Blue Devils also took one here in 1991 — the Grant Hill, Christian Laettner squad. “ T h e y showed such grit tonight,” said coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose five titles put him alone in second place on the all-time list behind John Wooden. “Our bench was spectacular, and like we said about two months ago, eight is enough. Eight is enough.”
Among the eight players who share all the playing time are Okafor, Jones and another freshman, Justise Winslow. They all might be playing at an NBA arena near you next season. But Grayson Allen? The most unheralded of Krzyzewski’s first-year players, who averages four points a game, stepped up with Okafor on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble. Allen, the slam-dunk champion at the high school McDonald’s All-American contest last year, scored 16 points and kept Duke in it when Okafor was on the bench with his third and fourth fouls and Wisconsin (36-4) looked like it was about to run away.

Ventura wins despite cramp Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — For one unsettling moment, it appeared opening day had taken a terrible turn for Yordano Ventura and the Kansas City Royals. Ventura crumpled to the ground in the seventh inning with a cramp in his right thumb, ending a strong outing that helped the AL champion Royals rout the Chicago White Sox 10-1 on Monday. “I felt the thumb lock up on me,” Ventura said, with teammate Jeremy Guthrie translating. “My first thought, it was something really bad, but I’m really happy that it’s not. I’m not concerned about it at all. It’s just a cramp, though, but it surprised me.” Alex Rios had a three-run homer among his three hits in his Kansas City debut, and Ventura pitched sixplus solid innings. He went down after throwing a strike to Adam LaRoche and was replaced by Kelvin Herrera. Ventura will be evaluated later this week, but Royals manager Ned Yost said he does not anticipate the hard-throwing righty missing a start. Just days ago, Ventura agreed to a $23 million, five-year contract. Rios homered in a fiverun seventh with Kendrys Morales and Alex Gordon aboard. Gordon stroked a two-run single in the inning. “I was trying to put a good swing on the ball and when you do that good things happen,” Rios said. Jose Abreu homered in the seventh for Chicago. White Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who did not allow a run in 15 innings during a pair of openingday starts with the Chicago Cubs the past two years, yielded five runs and six hits in six-plus innings. He walked three, hit two batters with pitches and threw a wild pitch. After an exhilarating postseason run last year that ended with a Game 7 loss to San Francisco in the World Series, the Royals got off to a fast start in 2015. Please see ROYALS, page 3D
KU great Jo Jo White gets Naismith Hall call By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Jo Jo White, whose jersey hangs in the rafters of both Allen Fieldhouse and the NBA’s Boston Garden, next will be immortalized in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.

tor and KU’s first coach, Dr. James Naismith. “I’m so excited and blessed to have the honor of being inducted into the Hall of Fame,” White told the Boston Globe on Monday. “Words cannot express the way I feel at this time, just so very happy and overwhelmed.” White averaged 17.6 points and 4.9 assists over 12 NBA seasons and was MVP of the NBA Finals in 1976. The St. Louis native scored 1,286 points at KU, which ranks 29th all-time. He helped the Jayhawks to two Big Eight titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances. “I am thrilled. As I just

No player and no moment quite symbolized Shaka Smart’s run at Virginia Commonwealth better than guard Joey Rodriguez and his pregame meeting against Kansas. Generously listed at 5-10, Rodriguez was the heart and soul of a team that had improbably reached the regional final against top seed Kansas in 2011. During the officials’ talk with captains from both teams, one of the hulking Morris twins, Marcus or Markieff, told Rodriguez that VCU’s nice little run was about to end. “That was a mistake, saying that to Joey,” Smart said, recalling VCU’s programmaking 71-61 win to reach the Final Four. “He thought he was 8-foot tall. His belief in himself carried over to all his teammates.” As Smart travels to Texas and a new challenge, transplanting some of VCU’s confidence and attitude wouldn’t hurt. For all the credentials and rave scouting reviews of its players, Texas needs to play with that Havoc kind of edge. While Texas certainly played hard in Rick Barnes’ final seasons, the Longhorns also looked confused at times. Blown leads and missed opportunities became a Texas trademark. The Longhorns went 2-8 against the upper division of the Big 12 this season, including a late-season win over Baylor in which the Bears controlled most of the game. It was a team far closer to missing the tournament than making a long run. Too often, Texas basketball seemed to follow the definition of insanity often attributed to Einstein: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The blown 10-point lead to Iowa State in the Big 12 tournament was unexpected only if you hadn’t followed Texas all season. The challenge facing Smart starts but doesn’t end there. Texas really hasn’t been a contender in the Big 12 for a while, outside of a secondplace finish in 2011. Programs such as Iowa State, Oklahoma and Baylor have been far more likely to challenge Kansas. One common theme from the last few years under Barnes was that players left early, either for the NBA or as transfers. And the ones who stayed didn’t show the expected development. Players who had not left for a long Easter weekend seemed enthused after meeting with Smart and hearing the energetic, focused approach at his news conference, but the true test will be workouts and practice. Smart said he’s willing to alter his system some to reflect talent and personnel. Other aspects, such as effort, are non-negotiable. As anyone who has watched VCU play knows, it’s not an easy system, befitting a coach who had his players go through SEAL training. Things will clearly be different from the Barnes era, which qualifies as a good thing. Players and fans need to get used to it. Smart isn’t going anywhere, not with a sevenyear contract and the first six years guaranteed at about $3 million per year. He already seems focused on the new job. Texas associate athletic director Arthur Johnson offered Smart a chance to fly to Richmond this weekend to take care of any loose ends. “I’m not going back to Richmond,” Smart said. “I’m here to stay.”

RODRIGUEZ as he bats in theHelmet seventhand inning the team’s opening-day game against the Toronto Blue Pro Basketball Jays on Monday in New York.
A-Rod returns from drug ban to cheers New York — Alex Rodriguez listened to the cheers and waved his cap. He worked out an eight-pitch walk, lined an opposite-field single into right field and flied out. After all the huffing and puffing, a grievance, multiple lawsuits and public threats, followed by the inevitable apology, seemingly scripted contrition and never-ending genuflection, A-Rod was back with the Yankees, in pinstripes, in front of the not-quite adoring but foreverforgiving fans on a sunny opening day. Back from an unprecedented season-long drug suspension, Rodriguez received a loud ovation and, for a designated hitter, a rare shout-out from the Bleacher Creatures. He was dropped to seventh in the batting order during the regular season for the first time in 19 years and he went 1-for-2 Monday in a 6-1 loss to Toronto. “It means the world to me,” he said during a string of saccharine postgame comments. “I don’t think I ever took it for granted, but I can guarantee you I won’t take this year for granted.” His 40th birthday approaches in July, and many of the old faces have left the clubhouse. CC Sabathia moved into Derek Jeter’s old stall adjacent to the back door leading to the inner sanctum, and Brian McCann took over Mariano Rivera’s locker in the middle of the room, the one occupied by David Robertson last year. Rodriguez is the senior Yankee on a team that hasn’t won the World Series since 2009 and has missed the playoffs in two consecutive seasons.
Oakland and Texas started with eight players each on the DL. Minnesota was the only team with none.
Pace rules have little effect New York — What clock? The new digital timers tracking betweeninning breaks and pitching changes did not appear to be noticed much Monday, the first full day of Major League Baseball’s renewed effort to speed the pace of games. “I’ve never had a problem with it, so I just went and did my thing,” Baltimore pitcher Chris Tillman said following a 6-2 win at Tampa Bay. New regulations require hitters to keep a foot in the batter’s box — with seven exceptions. The clock times inning breaks and pitching changes at 2 minutes, 25 seconds for locally televised games and 2:45 for nationally televised games. Pitchers must throw their last warmup pitches before 30 seconds remain, with exceptions if the pitcher or catcher is on base when the previous half-inning ends. “I didn’t pay any notion,” New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann said following a 6-1 loss to Toronto. MLB said penalties are limited to warnings and fines, and those don’t begin until May 1.

BOX SCORE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
“It was fun to watch my teammates do what they do,” Okafor said. “They have my back the entire season, and it was no different tonight.” This was a savvy, calm, collected comeback against the team that wrote the book on that all season. Wisconsin kept its cool two nights earlier in an upset over undefeated Kentucky and looked to be pulling away early in the second half of this one. Then, suddenly, Duke looked like veterans and Wisconsin looked like kids. Kaminsky outscored Okafor 21-10 but struggled to get a good look down the stretch. On Okafor’s first late bucket, Kaminsky tried to wrap an arm around him, but Okafor just powered his way through it for the bucket and the foul. He missed the free throw, but a different point had been made. After the game, the

Twitterverse was fuming about some calls that didn’t go Wisconsin’s way. The Badgers got whistled for only two fouls in the first half, but 13 in the second. And even though Kaminsky schooled Okafor to draw both his third and fourth fouls early in the second half, Wisconsin couldn’t pull away from an aggressive Duke defense that allowed only 55 points a game in the five contests leading to the final. Wisconsin shot 41 percent — seven points under its season average.

“It was a situation where you just have to be able to handle all the hands and the checking,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. “There was more body contact in this game than any game we played all year, and I just feel sorry for my guys that all of the sudden a game was like that, and I think they’re struggling with that a little bit.” Nigel Hayes had 13 points and Sam Dekker, the key guy down the stretch against Kentucky, had a very quiet 12 for the Badgers, who were trying to bring their first title back to Madison since 1941. Instead, it’s Duke taking another one home to the Cameron Crazies. This was not a dominant, wire-to-wire effort the likes of which some of the Duke title teams have enjoyed in seasons past. Kentucky and its quest for perfection stole all the headlines this season. But in the end, it was all confetti and cheers. David J.

Alcides Escobar and Mike Moustakas, their first two hitters, went a combined 4-for-7 with two walks and scored five runs. Moustakas homered the opposite way in the fifth off Samardzija. “The numbers don’t matter,” Moustakas said. “We just find a way to win and at the end of the day the numbers will be there.” Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless ninth for the Royals, his first big league appearance since Sept. 28, 2011. “We had some opportunities early (and) we couldn’t capitalize on any of them,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “You’ve got to get better at that. I’m not going to say that it’s the whole season, but you want to get off to a good start. We didn’t. You just have to come back out on Wednesday and get back after it.”
