Soden, Boley, Herbert win city handily Two incumbents, Rasmussen don’t make voters’ cut

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Three new faces are coming onto the Lawrence City Commission, and already there are promises of a new attitude on the way as well.

Leslie Soden — an owner of a Lawrence pet-sitting business, and a first-time elected official — won the top spot in Tuesday’s general election. Fellow City Hall newcomers Stuart Boley, a retired IRS agent, and Matthew Herbert, a LawBoley rence High School teacher, won the other two spots on the commission.

BRIEFLY

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

Martha H. Thomas, 89, of Lawrence, Kansas, died Saturday, April 4, 2015, at Neuvant House in Lawrence.

Martha was born March 23, 1926 in Tostamaa, Estonia, daughter of Juri and Alide (Keppi) Hanson.

She attended high school in Estonia, and was displaced to Wiesbaden, Germany during World War II at the age of 17.

After the War, and unable to return to Estonia, she emigrated to the United States and, after fulfilling her displaced persons work obligations, joined the U.S. Army.

Her professional life was spent in the bookeeping and retail trades.

Martha married Ted Mosby Thomas in 1951, and they had one daughter, Deborah Hanson (Thomas) Juhnke, who survives.

She was preceded in death by Ted Thomas, her parents, and her sister, Maria (Hanson) Nommik.

Martha loved learning and she devoured countless

books. She developed a sophisticated appreciation for music and art, and took every opportunity to visit the great museums.

Because of her war experience, she was also passionate about every person’s responsibility to participate in civic affairs.

One of her proudest moments was becoming a U.S. citizen in 1963.

Martha will always be remembered as a caring friend and loving guardian to animals.

Friends are invited to attend a memorial service to be held at 2 pm on Sunday, April 12, 2015 at Neuvant House in Lawrence, 1216 Biltmore Drive.

The family suggests memorials to the Lawrence Humane Society, sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, P.O. Box 1260, Lawrence, KS 6644.

autopsies and has an institute of forensic science and law named after him at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, reviewed the autopsy, testimony and police reports at the defense’s request.

Upon review of the reports, Wecht said he did not believe that evidence of a three-quarter-inch “streak of hemorrhage” inside Mary Miller’s throat, petechiae inside her eyelids, edema foam on her nostril and hemorrhaging inside her scalp was caused by manual strangulation, as Mitchell did.

“I do not believe there is significant forensic evidence to call this asphyxiation due to homicide,” Wecht said.

First at issue was the lack of exterior injury to Mary Miller’s body. Not a single bruise or laceration was found on the outside of her body, Mitchell and Wecht said.

Wecht said if someone were trying to kill Mary Miller, she would have had a natural instinct to fight her attacker, leaving evidence. Wecht compared the feeling to “being at the bottom of a football pile” or being held under in a swimming pool too long.

“The most horrible feeling for any living being is not being able

Battle of experts Wecht suggested that Mary Miller could have died from an allergic reaction to one of the “90-some” herbal remedies that Mitchell had requested be confiscated from the home. Earlier testimony revealed the items were never tested and Mary Miller’s body was not examined for their contents.

However, rebuttal witness Kris Sperry said he did not believe this was the case. Perry, a paid expert for the prosecution, is the state of Georgia’s chief medical examiner, “There are no anatomic findings that suggest anaphylaxis, there is no history of reactions, and there is no proof she’d ingested anything,” Sperry said.

Wecht said Tuesday that he thought the hemorrhaging inside the throat and scalp were caused after Mary Miller’s death. Wecht said it is not difficult to cause bruising on a “delicate” woman like Mary Miller.

According to testimony, she was 5 feet 2 inches and weighed 120 pounds. “(Hemorrhages are) created by the engorgement of blood,” Wecht said. “If vessels are full,

Infant killed in crash on U.S. 24 Perry — A 1-monthold girl died and three people were injured after a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 24 in Jefferson County west of Perry.

Kaysein Harris, of Lawrence, was in her safety restraint when the accident happened just before 3 p.m. Monday. The Kansas Highway Patrol reports a westbound 2008 Honda Civic moved over to the gravel shoulder but the driver over-corrected and the car slid sideways into the eastbound lanes.

An eastbound 2010 Ford pickup truck struck the Honda’s passenger side, killing Kaysein. A 3-year-old girl in the Honda and the car’s driver also were injured.

The Patrol says 32-yearold Aaron Thakker, of Eudora, was driving the pickup truck and also was possibly injured.

to breathe,” he said. “If you’re being strangled, you’re going to be fighting and thrashing, and no such injuries are found.”

Even if Mary Miller were asleep at the time someone tried to suffocate her, Wecht said she would have awakened and fought.

“The brain reacts promptly to the lack of oxygen,” Wecht said.

Wecht said another sign of strangulation missing from Mary Miller’s b o d y was that Mary Miller her hyoid bone, which is in the throat, remained intact. Wecht said the hyoid bone is often broken in strangulation deaths.

A third sign, he said, was that Mary Miller’s face was not discolored.

Wecht said that in the “overwhelming majority” of suffocation cases, faces turn a bluish color, a process known as cyanosis.

Mary Miller’s face was of normal coloring, he said.

Upon cross examination by prosecutor Mark Simpson, Wecht acknowledged that exterior injury, broken hyoid bones and cyanosis are not present in all suffocation deaths. However, defense attorney Ney questioned how many strangulation deaths

it doesn’t take much. You just break a couple of capillaries.”

Sperry disagreed that a smaller person is easier to bruise than a larger person.

“There’s no basis for that in medicine,” Sperry said.

Wecht said the moving of the body or a medical technician checking her pulse could have caused the throat hemorrhage.

The hemorrhages to the interior throat and scalp could also have come from the autopsy itself.

“You’re cutting; the blood vessels are there,” Wecht said, “they don’t go away because someone died.”

Wecht said the fact that Mary Miller’s brain did not swell and that there were no injuries to the top of her head further led him to believe the scalp hemorrhages developed after death.

Additionally, Wecht said the petechiae, or dot-like hemorrhages inside her eyelids, could have been caused by a number of medical problems, such as a heart attack or sleep apnea. Sperry emphasized that petechiae are seen in 90 percent of asphyxial deaths.

Finally, Wecht said the edema foam indicates that fluid backed up into the lungs. Wecht said Mary Miller would not have had to have been strangled to have edema foam on her nostril.

Wecht said that “in less

than 1 percent of autopsies” that a cause of death is not discernible.

“Sometimes, despite a thorough autopsy, you do not find cause of death,” Wecht said. “Good, competent forensic pathologists are not embarrassed to put ‘unknown.’”

Kansas University professor of neurology Ivan Osorio, who specializes in epilepsy, testified Tuesday afternoon that he “would expect to see” hemorrhages like the ones inside Mary Miller’s neck and scalp in a seizure patient. “(Seizure) convulsion is like tying a noose around the neck,” Osorio said. “It’s quite likely the injuries are the results of injury sustained during seizure.”

But Sperry said he has “never seen hemorrhages like this in the neck of someone who died of a seizure.” Sperry also said Mary Miller was not diagnosed with epilepsy during her lifetime.

Osorio said that people who die during seizures

Osorio testified the edema foam found on Mary Miller’s nostril is “almost invariably present” in people who have suffered seizures.

“All the muscles to allow you to swallow are frozen,” Osorio said.

“Fluid pools in the nose and the mouth (creating the edema).”

Osorio criticized Mitchell, saying further dissection of Mary Miller’s brain could have given investigators a better idea of whether she had a seizure. Sperry, however, said further dissection was not necessary.

9th Street design team to meet public

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

This week, the city will host a series of public workshops regarding the planned Ninth Street Corridor Project, which aims to refurbish a seven-block section of the East Lawrence neighborhood and connect downtown with the Warehouse Arts District.

The programs, beginning Wednesday at New York Elementary School with a workshop on complete street design and urban landscaping, will give community members a chance to engage with the project’s design team.

Led by Kansas City-based architecture and design firm el dorado, the team includes engineering firm Bartlett and West; landscape architecture firm Coen + Partners; social and architectural historian Dennis Domer; indigenous landscape spe-

çon based in Calgary.

On a misty Wednesday afternoon in late March, they zigzagged through the East Lawrence neighborhood on a tour led by members of the Ninth Street Corridor Advisory Committee.

That group, made up of neighborhood, city and business representatives, is meant to act as a sounding board for city staff and the design team as the project advances.

“When we start a project, we like to start by listening Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo and learning, rather than K.T.

State hospital may freeze admissions due to renovations

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — As the Osawatomie State Hospital ramps up renovations to avoid losing $26 million in federal funding, it will be forced to transfer or discharge patients and may freeze admissions, a Kansas agency said Tuesday.

Federal regulators have threatened to cut

off Medicare and Medicaid funding if the hospital does not improve its facilities and medical practices after inspectors found it to be 25 percent overcapacity and in substandard condition in October.

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services has since pledged to ease overcrowding and spend $3 million making the facil-

ity’s beds, ceilings and bathroom fixtures safer to avoid losing the funds, which comprise about one-fourth of its budget.

Gina Meier-Hummel, KDADS’ commissioner for community services programs, said that the work to make the hospital’s ceilings safer will be the most costly and disruptive, forcing the hospital to limit patient population to 146 until

the works are complete in October.

The hospital normally has a capacity of 206 and limits its population to 167 patients. It is now working to identify which of its patients are stable enough to release or transfer to assisted living, nursing homes or other community mental health facilities, MeierHummel said.

But those facilities

1 5 T H A N N U A L

don’t offer the same level of care and not all have the resources to take on the added patients, said Rick Cagan, Kansas executive director of mental health advocacy group National Alliance on Mental Illness.

“They’re weak compared to regular nursing facilities and certainly weak compared to Osawatomie in terms of the availability of active treatment,” Ca-

gan said.

Meier-Hummel said that the community facilities can apply for grants to help with the new patients.

KDADS spokeswoman Angela de Rocha said the Osawatomie State Hospital is only discharging and transferring stable patients who entered the hospital voluntarily, the average stay for which is 26 days.

offer prospective employees,” a draft of the resolution reads.

The resolution echoes a recent report from the University Senate’s Domestic Partner Benefits Committee, which concluded that KU’s lack of medical insurance and other significant benefits for domestic partners — same or opposite sex — violates the university’s own anti-discrimination policy.

Current state and federal laws restrict KU from offering such benefits, Rachel Rolf, an attorney for KU, said in the report. She also said they could create tax and regulatory challenges for the university.

KU does offer a few benefits to domestic partners — including gym access and bereavement leave for various definitions of partners — but not the most valuable benefits, which are medical and dental insurance, according to the report.

The University Senate’s resolution is not binding. It would be up to KU administration to make any policy changes.

Still, said Mayhew, who is a professor in the department of Spanish and Portuguese, University Senate members think the issue is worth addressing.

“It’s important for the University of Kansas to reaffirm its commitment to nondiscrimination in light of the political climate in Kansas,” he said.

serve in Lawrence until late May. Announcement of his departure comes as a new City Commission is set to be seated next week.

Mayor Mike Amyx — whose mayoral term is scheduled to end next week but will remain on the governing body as a commissioner — said he hopes that a discussion about how to fill Corliss’ position will begin as soon as next week.

“As soon as a new mayor is seated, I hope that process will begin immediately,” Amyx said.

Amyx said the commission will have to make decisions about whether to hire a search firm to assist in the process and about who will serve as interim city manager during the process. Amyx previously has said he thinks current Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard is a likely candidate to serve as interim city manager.

He said he thinks it will be useful to make a decision on an interim city manager in short order.

“I hope that we can be fairly far along in the entire process of finding a city manager by the end of May,” Amyx said.

On Tuesday, however, much of the brief meeting was focused on Corliss and his service to the city, which dates back to 2006 as city manager but to 1990 as a City Hall employee.

“Jyleesa and Quaram had a great season and ended it with a solid performance at the NDT,” Harris said, in an email. “It is always painful to lose your final debate on a split decision, but it happens when two talented teams debate each other.”

They’re still in the early stages of developing a plan for the Ninth Street Corridor, but interacting with residents — walking through studios, living rooms and backyards of East Lawrence — has given them a taste of “the texture and character of the place,” Surtees said.

“Calgary is largely about the hidden side of infrastructure, things we don’t see that we take for granted,” he said, referencing the Watershed+ project. “And here, I think, it’s the things we don’t see. It might be cultural, it might be geographic, it might be social — it could be a whole host of things that aren’t immediately apparent to people who are not from East Lawrence.”

Blanc agrees. For him, the project is as much about art as making Ninth Street functional and safe for travelers.

“The technical aspect of infrastructure can

support social and cultural aspects. The idea, usually, is that infrastructure is functional, and that social and cultural aspects are different,” he said. “They should support each other. That’s the challenge.”

The second workshop, slated for Thursday, will delve into the role of public art in the project, while the third workshop, scheduled for April 20, will involve site history.

Two public presentations are in the works for Aug. 19 and Nov. 18, and will deal with the complete street and design plans, respectively.

Last summer, the Lawrence Arts Center secured a $500,000 grant from ArtPlace America to fund the project, which will extend from Massachusetts to Delaware streets on Ninth Street and integrate public art with planned city-funded street and walkway improvements along the corridor.

The goal, as stated in the Arts Center’s winning grant proposal, is to transform the neighborhood into “a platform for visual and performance art not yet imagined.”

Surtees and Blanc, a trained architect who originally hails from France, are also busy continuing work on Watershed+, a major public art project that aims to “place creativity at the heart” of Calgary’s waterworks.

Longtime City Commissioner Bob Schumm agreed.

“We’re going to have to work really hard to find the same level of talent that we’re losing in this transfer,” Schumm said.

“I’m amazed with the quality of our employees, and that is a reflection on their manager. ” Commissioners Jeremy Farmer, Mike Dever and Terry Riordan

all thanked Corliss for his work as well.

Corliss has said he decided to accept the job in Castle Rock — a community of about 50,000 people between Denver and Colorado Springs — for a mix of personal and professional reasons.

Corliss said he and his wife, Sarah, had thought about new opportunities as their youngest daughter graduates from high school this May. Castle Rock also is near Sarah’s parents in the Denver area.

Corliss on Tuesday read commissioners his letter informing the community that he would be taking the job in Colorado.

“Serving the citizens of this community for near-

ly a quarter of a century has been the privilege of a lifetime,” Corliss said.

Corliss told commissioners he also is confident about future successes for the community.

“The best news in all of this is you have a great staff,” Corliss said. “We won’t miss a beat. I’m excited about that and very excited about Lawrence’s future. As I drive around, I’m constantly enthused about Lawrence’s future.”

City officials said plans are in the works to hold a public reception for Corliss in early May.

Slighted friend deserves a face-to-face apology Dear Annie: I have a close acquaintance who is a fitness instructor at the health club where I often work out. Two years ago, I saw her at a local peace parade and got very worked up over something she wrote on the signs she was wearing. I became so crazed over it that I forgot myself and said some awful things about her. I also stopped going to her workout classes for a month and deleted her Facebook pages. Then I found out her husband had a stroke the day of the parade.

I realized how hideous my behavior had been. I returned to her workout class and intended to apologize profusely to her, but she wasn’t there that day. When she finally came back, I told her

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I’d been praying for her and her husband.

Sometimes it seems she has forgiven me and everything is the same between us, but on other days, I’m not so sure. I apologized to her, in a general way, in a holiday greeting card, not mentioning the parade. I’ve lost countless hours of sleep crying from guilt, shame and regret. Please print this so she can see it and we can talk about it. — Distraught

Animal architects on PBS Leave it to beavers to get us back to our TV roots. Few genres have suffered more in the era of reality television than the home repair show. “This Old House” began on public television way back in 1979. But just as “Top Chef” bears little resemblance to Julia Child’s cooking shows, the home repair genre has been mutilated and diluted by product placements and all but ruined by the advent of celebrity renovation shows. It’s not enough to learn something.

We have to watch Vanilla Ice or a former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star apply Spackle and grout. It’s no wonder so many people in search of quick information have migrated to YouTube.

“Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) launches a threeweek look at “Animal Homes,” celebrating the diligence and artistry of critters great and small, from nest-building birds to the beaver and his elaborate lodges and mighty dams.

One of the classic studies of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture is a book called “In the Nature of Materials” by HenryRussell Hitchcock. And materials in nature are very much the subjects of tonight’s exploration of bird nest-building.

Whether it’s a great osprey assembling a huge nest twig by twig, or tiny birds building mud shelters one beak-load at a time, these gorgeous shelters reflect a visionary choice of building blocks, an artist’s discipline and an architect’s mastery of detail.

It should inspire awe in those of us given access to hardware stores and opposable thumbs.

Next week’s “Animal Homes” looks at the answer to every real estate agent’s question.

“Location, Location, Location” examines why animals, birds and insects build the way they do and where they choose to settle down. Who knew the top of a telephone pole was a great place to raise a family? “Animal Cities,” premiering on April 22, shows how lowly critters like spiders and ants construct sturdy shelters with vast communities in mind.

Tonight’s other highlights

Crime victims contract the measles on “Law & Order: SVU” (8 p.m., NBC).

Sadie’s woes put a damper on Juliette’s baby shower on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan is 77. Rock musician Steve Howe is 68. Actress Patricia Arquette is 47. Actress Emma Caulfield is 42.

Dear Distraught: Printing this in the paper and hoping she sees it is a cop-out. You need to put your spine in place and talk to her directly, no matter how hard it is. A semi-apology in a holiday greeting card doesn’t count, and telling her you will pray for her is kind, but insufficient.

Ask your friend whether she is available for coffee, or find some other time when you can speak privately. Here’s what you say: “I know it’s been a while, but I need to tell you how sorry I am for my behavior at the parade and afterward. I don’t know what came over me. I value our friendship a great deal, and I am hoping you can forgive me.”

Whatever happens after that, at least you will know you truly tried to make it right.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, April 8: This year you have the ability to look beyond the obvious. Often others will want to seek you out to get feedback. If you are single, listen to your gut. If you are attached, the two of you often get into tiffs that really are meaningless.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You seem to be expressing unusual impulsiveness.

Once this passes, you are likely to rein yourself in. Tonight: Take in new vistas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Deal with a child or loved one on a one-on-one level.

You could feel as if you are offkilter. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Defer to someone else. This approach might be the only way to get this person involved with a project. Tonight: Sort through your many invitations first.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Someone you need to answer to could cause you a problem with his or her unpredictability. Tonight: Schedule a massage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might find that surprising someone could reveal much more information about a certain situation. Tonight: Frolic away.

Dear Annie: “Grandma” has every right to be concerned about her stepson’s nearly 3-yearold child who barely speaks. She should follow her instincts and strongly encourage that the girl be assessed by a speech therapist. The lack of expressive language could also be a sign of autism.

While the suggestions to spend more time interacting with the child are great, professional intervention might be necessary. It is deplorable that the pediatrician has not caught this, as early intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s life. — Concerned Special Ed Teacher — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds as others close to you make their expectations clear, especially a roommate or family member. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep communication moving. You could get an unexpected response from someone you look up to. Tonight: Out and about.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What you see coming down the path might not be in sync with what you thought would happen. Tonight: Your treat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll move quickly through a difficult situation. Be clear about what a friend is doing.

Tonight: As you like it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to step back and let others make the first move to present their ideas. Tonight: Sort through a lot of gossip.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Zero in on what you want. Your words seem to get to the right person to produce the results you desire. Tonight: Hang with the gang.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be careful, as you could lose your wallet or be hit with an unexpected bill. Tonight: Stay on top of a situation.

School funds Kansas school districts are understandably concerned about the possibility of having to repay state funding they already have received and committed for the current school year.

S

tate lawmakers are saying it won’t happen, but given the current uncertainty about state funding for K-12 schools, it seems reasonable for school district officials to be concerned about the prospect of having to return state money already received and committed for the current school year.

The question of repayment arises as a result of the new “block grant” school funding system passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by the governor last month. The law took effect on Thursday and applies to districts for the current fiscal year, which runs through June 30, and the next two fiscal years.

The law reduces the amount of “equalization” aid school districts receive for capital outlay and local option budgets.

That’s money that school districts already had included in the current year’s budgets.

In some cases, they already had received more state equalization funds than the state now says they’re entitled to, so they’re trying to figure out how to repay that money.

According to the Kansas State Department of Education, dozens of public school districts have been overpaid a total of about $3.7 million. The Lawrence district alone, figures it would have to repay $672,000.

This isn’t a problem, say state legislators. Their plan is to attach a proviso to the state’s general budget bill to provide the $3.7 million and eliminate the need for any districts to repay the state.

Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, even criticized one school district for delaying a maintenance project because of uncertainty about the budget cuts, saying there was no reason for such a delay “unless they wanted to do it politically.”

Districts that are delaying projects and shortening their school years aren’t being political; they are being prudent.

Legislators may say they will add money to the state budget to offset what school districts would have to repay, but who knows whether that actually will happen? When legislators started their spring break last week, the only budget on the table exceeded projected revenues by at least $224 million. Depending on new revenue estimates that are due on April 20, the shortfall may be greater. School districts and every other entity that receives state funds know there are no guarantees about funding until legislators figure out how to bridge that spending and revenue gap.

Even if they escape further cuts this year, school districts will face a whole new funding system for the next two years, during which legislators have promised to come up with yet another way to fund public schools. The courts also are expected to weigh in on school finance, adding further uncertainty to the picture.

How can school districts plan for the future, or even the next year? School board members elected Tuesday in Lawrence and across the state face a daunting task.

Debate over gay rights is done The argument is over and conservatives have lost.

Some of them just don’t know it yet.

That’s the takeaway from the remarkable events of last week wherein the states of Indiana and Arkansas executed high-speed U-turns — we’re talking skid marks on the tarmac — on the subject of marriage equality. Legislatures in both states, you will recall, had passed so-called “religious freedom” laws designed to allow businesses to refuse service to same-sex couples. In Indiana, the governor had already signed the bill and was happily dissembling about the discriminatory nature and intent of the new law.

Then reality landed like the Marines at Guadalcanal.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence made a fool of himself on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” five times refusing to answer a simple yes or no question about whether the bill would protect a business that refused to serve gay people. Angie’s List, which is headquartered in the state, delayed a planned expansion. NASCAR, the NCAA, the NFL, the NBA, the WNBA and a host of businesses condemned the

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

The very parameters of the debate have shifted dramatically to the dreaded left.” law. Conventions pulled out and some states and cities even banned governmentfunded travel to Indiana.

Down in Arkansas, where similar legislation awaited his signature, Gov. Asa Hutchinson was no doubt watching with interest as Pence was metaphorically shot full of holes. Then he received a tap on the shoulder from a very heavy hand.

Wal-Mart, the largest retailer on Earth, born and headquartered in Arkansas, urged a veto, saying the bill “does not reflect the values we proudly uphold.”

Both governors promptly got, ahem, religion. Hutchinson sent the measure back to

legislators for revision. Pence signed a measure to “fix” a law whose glories he had spent so much time touting.

And here, a little context might be instructive.

Twenty years ago, you recall, we were essentially arguing over the right of gay people to exist. The debate then was over whether they could serve in the military, adopt children, be fired or denied housing because of their sexuality. Ten years ago, public opinion on most of those issues having swung decisively, we were fighting over whether or not they could get married. Ten years later, that point pretty much conceded, we are arguing over who should bake the cake.

The very parameters of the debate have shifted dramatically to the dreaded left. Positions the GOP took proudly just 20 years ago now seem prehistoric and its motivations for doing so, threadbare. This is not about morality, the constitution or faith. It never was.

No, this is about using the law to validate the primal sense of “ick” that still afflicts some heterosexuals at the thought of boys who like boys and girls who like girls.

And the solution to their

problem is three words long: Get over it.

Or, get left behind. Consider again what happened last week: Put aside NASCAR, the NBA and Angie’s list: Wal-Mart is, for better and for worse, the very embodiment of Middle-American values. To rephrase what Lyndon Johnson said of Walter Cronkite under vastly different circumstances, if you have lost Wal-Mart, you have lost the country.

On gay rights, conservatives just lost Wal-Mart.

The adults on the right (there are some) understand that they are out of step with the mainstream, which is why they’d just as soon call a truce in the so-called “culture wars.” The fanatical, id-driven children on the right (there are far too many) would rather drive the GOP off a cliff than concede. Somebody needs to sit them down and explain that when you have taken an execrable stand and been repudiated for it as decisively as the right has been, you only have two options: Change your stand, or shut your mouth.

At this point, either one will do.

PUBLIC FORUM

Sad time

A constitutional convention?

Now that the Legislature is on its traditional “spring break” before coming back to deal with all the remaining business in the last few days of the session, it is worth taking a moment to review what has been done so far this year. As I look at the Legislature’s work over the past weeks, it seems to me that it has been a mixture of extremely significant legislation as well as a number of things that might have well been left undone.

Honestly, I am less concerned with some of the less significant — at times even strange — bills that get introduced every session, even though the Legislature might well spend its precious time on more important matters. What concerns me is that I think it is absolutely undeniable that we are in a period of major transformation in both the political and legal situation in Kansas, a transformation that is moving ahead on virtually all fronts. One need only look at the changes in education, human services, the structure of the court system, and anti-discrimination laws, to name just a few areas, to recognize that we are in a period of rapid and, I think, revolutionary change. It is change that is coming about through executive order and legislation.

I wonder whether such significant changes should, in fact, come about not through our elected representative, but, rather, through the vote of the entire citizenry of Kansas in the form of constitutional

“

My first concern is that many of the changes that the Legislature is making are so important and the issues so fundamental, that I think every Kansas resident should have a direct vote in deciding them.”

changes. Indeed, perhaps, the time has come for Kansas to have a constitutional convention and a new constitution adopted by popular vote.

My suggestion that we need to have all Kansans vote directly on many of the issues that are now being decided by the Legislature comes from two different concerns. My first concern is that many of the changes that the Legislature is making are so important and the issues so fundamental, that I think every Kansas resident should have a direct vote in deciding them.

I cannot predict the results of such votes. What the Legislature is doing might well be affirmed by popular votes. Or it might not. But I believe that when one is dealing with basic rights — education, the court system,

human services, civil rights — these are so important that every resident should be discussing them in open debate and every citizen should take on the responsibility of voting on them.

My second reason for suggesting constitutional revision and popular vote is that I am concerned about the level of discussion on these key issues before the Legislature actually votes on them. It seems to me that a few hours or even a few days of hearings and often perfunctory debate on fundamental issues is not enough. Given how our Legislature functions and the time limits set upon each legislative session, it is simply not possible to have the type and length of debates many of the issues being decided warrant.

A new constitutional convention coupled with a popular vote would not suffer such limitations. Indeed, a new constitutional convention might well raise awareness of the importance of many of these issues and stimulate greater voter participation.

While my suggestion that we have a new constitutional convention is somewhat radical, it is not without precedent. Indeed, it is noteworthy that a number of members of the Kansas Legislature have called for a federal constitutional convention. Should we not also have one at the state level?

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the JournalWorld.

To the editor: In his State of the State address, our esteemed governor promised to reach out to those among us who are the most vulnerable — in other words, the “poor.” Now his legislative cohorts have come up with yet another brilliant way to demean those residents of our state even further. Our leaders think it would be most wise and prudent to instruct anyone receiving financial assistance from the state just what they can and cannot do with those funds.

Isn’t that brilliant? Let’s do all that we can to remove any possible thread of dignity from “these people,” as they are called by one of our Republican leaders from Palco. After all, we most certainly do not want “these people” or their children to receive a single pleasure from life; they’re poor, after all, and it’s our job to remind them of that at all times! The money they get from us is to be spent only on “essentials,” and they’re too dumb to figure our what essentials are so we will do it for them!

The rich benefit immensely from government largesse, as do I, but we are not told how to spend our money on “essentials.” It seems that not a single day goes by without ludicrous news and legislation coming out of the office of our governor and from our statehouse! It is a sad time for Kansas.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 8, 1915: years “Tomorrow is ‘Unago cle Jimmy’ day on IN 1915 the hill, in honor of James Woods Green, dean and founder of the University School of Law and probably better known over the state than any other member of the University faculty. Dean Green celebrated his seventythird birthday Sunday, and as has been the custom for the last ten years, ‘his boys,’ as he always characteristically refers to the students of the law school, have planned and arranged an annual banquet in honor of the day.”

federal ban on a late-term procedure described by abortion opponents as “partial-birth abortion.”

But in that ruling, the court’s 5-4 majority rejected an argument that the federal law would have banned the more common dilation and evacuation procedure described by the Kansas law, according to Widener University law professor John Culhane.

“If it was so obvious that it wouldn’t run afoul of the court, you would have seen a law like this sooner,” he said.

Brownback signed the bill in a private ceremony at his official residence; his office said he would reenact it at multiple public events later this month.

A photo from Tuesday’s ceremony tweeted by the governor’s office showed Brownback flanked by anti-abortion leaders and two large photos of fetuses.

Abortion rights supporters said the procedure is often the safest for women seeking to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester. It accounted for about 9 percent of abortions last year in Kansas, where most pregnancies are terminated in the first trimester and the state already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week.

Topeka — Kansas became the first state Tuesday to ban a common second-trimester abortion procedure that critics describe as dismembering a fetus.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, signed a bill imposing the ban, and the new law takes effect July 1.

He and the National Right to Brownback Life Committee, which drafted the measure, said they hope Kansas’ example spurs other states to enact such laws. Already, the measure also has been introduced in Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

“This law has the power to transform the landscape of abortion policy in the United States,” Committee President Carol Tobias said in a statement.

Two abortion rights groups that operate Kansas clinics with abortion services, Trust Women and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said they’re consid-

ering challenging the new law in court.

“We will become a bellwether for future introductions of this bill in the states,” said Laura McQuade, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood chapter.

Abortion rights supporters say the law, which bans the dilation and evacuation procedure and redefines it as “dismemberment,” could be vulnerable to a lawsuit because it bans some abortions before a fetus can survive outside the womb and contains no mental health exception for the mother.

A Delaware-based law professor said U.S. Supreme Court precedents over the past 15 years suggest the Kansas law wouldn’t survive a challenge but added that the justices may revise past stances.

Under the law, the procedure is banned except when necessary to save a woman’s life or prevent irreversible damage to her physical health. Doctors cannot use forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces.

Anti-abortion groups are confident the new law will withstand a legal challenge, based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2007 in which it upheld a

WHAT’S HAPPENING

ONLINE

Brad Heath @bradheath USA TODAY

The U.S. government started keeping secret records of Americans’ international telephone calls nearly a decade before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, harvesting billions of calls in a program that provided a blueprint for the far broader National Security Agency surveillance that followed.

For more than two decades, the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed logs of virtually all telephone calls from the USA to as many as 116 countries linked to drug trafficking, current and former officials involved with the operation said. The targeted countries changed over time but included Canada, Mexico and most of Central and South America.

Federal investigators used the call records to track drug cartels’ distribution networks in the USA, allowing agents to detect previously unknown trafficking rings and money handlers. They also used the records to help rule out foreign ties to the bombing in 1995 of a federal building in Oklahoma City and to identify U.S. suspects in a wide range of other investigations.

The Justice Department revealed in January that the DEA had collected data about calls to “designated foreign countries.” But the history and scale of that operation have not been disclosed until now.

It was a model for the massive phone surveillance system the NSA launched to identify terrorists after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Paul: Familiar name, plus credibility Senator follows dad on presidential trail but by different path

His father, former Texas congressman Ron Paul, was in a seat on stage but never at the microphone. The elder Paul has made three bids for the presidency, pioneered political fundraising strategies, forged a base of avid libertarian followers — and espoused unorthodox stances on foreign policy and the Fed that

WASHINGTON Count Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush among those who might have had just a bit of sympathy for Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul as he announced his presidential campaign Tuesday.

All three are poised to seek the White House in 2016 — and all three are familiar with the advantages and the perils of being members of a political dynasty.

Paul became the second Republican contender formally to announce his campaign for the presidency, standing beneath a banner at a ballroom in the Galt House hotel in Louisville that promised to “Defeat the Washington Machine/Unleash the American Dream.”

“We have come to take our country back!” he declared to cheers from supporters.

put him on the fringe of GOP debates.

The younger Paul, after more than four years in his first elective office, has managed to do what his father never could: be seen as a credible contender for the Republican nomination and the White House.

That’s not to say his path is easy. Rand Paul almost certainly will have less money and less establishment support than former Florida governor Jeb Bush. He’s less charismatic on the stump than New Jersey Gov. Chris v STORY CONTINUES ON 3B

South Carolina cop facing charges in traffic stop shooting Video shows officer firing at apparently unarmed black man William M. Welch @williammwelch USA TODAY

A white North Charleston, S.C., police officer is being charged with shooting an apparently unarmed black man during a traffic stop over the weekend after a video of the confrontation surfaced, local authorities said Tuesday.

North Charleston officer Mi-

chael Slager, 33, will face the charge in connection with the shooting death of Walter Scott, 50, Mayor Keith Summey said.

A video that shows a North Charleston police officer shooting at Scott’s back at least eight times as he ran away led to the arrest Tuesday, The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., reported. Police Chief Eddie Driggers said that Slager had been arrested, the newspaper reported.

The mayor said during a news conference that as a result of the video and Slager’s “bad decision,” the officer would be charged with murder. Slager was booked into the county’s detention center Tuesday.

“When you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Summey said. “When you make a bad decision, don’t

care if you’re behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision.”

The footage, filmed by a bystander, shows the end of a confrontation Saturday after Scott, who had a warrant out for his arrest, ran from a traffic stop.

Appearing before cameras Tuesday night, Anthony Scott, brother of the dead man, said the family was pleased that the truth was coming out as a result of the video’s release.

“I think through the process,we have received the truth.

We can’t get my brother back ... but through the process, justice has been served,” Anthony Scott

said. “I don’t think that all police officers are bad cops, but there are some bad ones out there.”

Attorney David Aylor, who released a statement on Slager’s behalf this week, said Tuesday that he wasn’t representing the officer anymore. Slager has said through Aylor that Scott had wrested his Taser from him during a struggle.

The officer felt threatened when he fired, his attorney had said.

The developments come after months of national discussion about race and policing following instances of law enforcement confrontations with unarmed citizens in Ferguson, Mo., New York City and elsewhere.

NATION/WORLD Rahm Emanuel re-elected as mayor of Chicago Fends off a tough challenge from Garcia in runoff Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

Mayor Rahm Emanuel won re-election on Tuesday, fending off an insurgent challenge from Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia in the most contentious Chicago mayoral race in a quartercentury.

Emanuel was forced into a runoff after he finished first in a field of five candidates in the city’s February general election, but failed to win a majority of the vote. The mayoral runoff was Chicago’s first since the city switched to the current non-parCHICAGO

tisan format in 1995.

With more than 86% of precincts reporting, Emanuel, a former congressman and President Obama’s first chief of staff, held a 56%-to-44% lead over Garcia, who conceded defeat.

In his victory speech, Emanuel said it was time to bridge the gaps that divide Chicago. At the same time, he made clear that hard choices lay ahead for a city that is mired in debt. “In an era of hard choices, I can’t promise that everyone will be pleased with every decision,” Emanuel said. “But the challenges we face, we face as one community, one city, one voice, where every voice counts.”

Emanuel, who raised about $23 million during this election cycle and got help from a supportive political action committee, hit Garcia with negative

THE PAUL PROFILE

Sen. Rand Paul greets a crowd with his wife, Kelley, before kicking off his National Stand With Rand tour.

How much do you know about Rand Paul, the Kentucky GOP senator with libertarian roots who joined the presidential race Tuesday? Here are four topics to get you started: HIS FAMILY: Rand Paul, 52, was born in Pittsburgh and is the middle child of five children. His father, Ron, served two stints in Congress representing a district in southeast Texas. Ron Paul ran for president three times: in 1988 as the Libertarian Party nominee, and in 2008 and 2012 for the GOP nomination. Rand Paul met his wife, Kelley Ashby, a Kentucky native, while he was doing an internship at Georgia Baptist Medical Center in Atlanta. The couple have three sons: William, 21; Duncan, 18; and Robert, 15.

Christie. His family’s story is less compelling than that of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

But Rand Paul is a hero of the Tea Party movement, which propelled his upset of the Republican establishment’s candidate for the Senate nomination in 2010. He inherits credibility with the libertarian strand of the Republican Party because of his last name, though that also brings the challenge of explaining or distancing himself from some of his father’s more controversial and isolationist views. (Similarly, Jeb Bush would have to navigate the White House records of his father and brother, and Hillary Clinton of her husband.)

The younger Paul already has shifted on some national security issues, moving toward the hawkish mainstream of the GOP from views he has expressed in the past about cutting military spending and foreign aid. He proposes boosting the Pentagon budget by more than $190 billion over the next two years, and the backdrop at a campaign rally Thursday in South Carolina will be the USS Yorktown.

In his announcement speech, he declared his support for a “nimble” military strong enough to defend U.S. interests around the world. But he opposed nation-building efforts abroad and endorsed the idea of “trust-butverify” negotiations with Iran and other foes with a goal of peace, not war.

He outlined a vision that included limiting the size of government, curtailing the digital

HIS NAME: Randal Howard Paul is a fan of Ayn Rand, but the senator is not named for the novelist-philosopher whose work is popular among libertarians and conservatives. He was known as “Randy” even as a young man, but his wife shortened it to “Rand” after they met.

EYE SURGEON: Paul is an ophthalmologist and provides eye surgeries for free at home and abroad. He attended Baylor University but left before graduating when he scored well enough on the medical college admission test (MCAT) to get into the Duke University School of Medicine. Upset with rules about recertification by his profession’s leading medical group, Paul created his own certification board in 1999.

surveillance of Americans by the National Security Agency and increasing efforts to address persistent poverty. He quoted Martin Luther King Jr. And the staging of his announcement seemed designed to underscore his efforts to expand the GOP’s demographic reach.

A black pastor delivered the invocation, a disabled veteran led the Pledge of Allegiance and a Millennial college student delivered a tribute to him. A video showed Paul’s volunteer work performing eye surgery in Guatemala.

It is by any measure a remarkable political journey for an ophthalmologist from Bowling Green, Ky. Perhaps credit Barack Obama for this: Despite Republican criticism that Obama wasn’t fully prepared for the demands of the Oval Office when he was elected after just four years in the Senate, Paul is one of three first-term senators ready to run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.

Cruz is in the race already, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is likely to announce Monday.

It will be a crowded field.

IN BRIEF POWER OUTAGES HIT MD., D.C., WHITE HOUSE

Equipment failure at a Maryland power plant is to blame for a region-wide power outage that affected the White House, the Capitol, the University of Maryland and other buildings in D.C. and Maryland on Tuesday afternoon.

The failure happened at a power switching station in Charles County, Md. At about 12:30 p.m. one of the ceramic insulators fell to the ground, causing a fire as it hit a 230,000-volt transmission line during its fall, according to power company Pepco.

The outage affected the White House for only a few seconds.

Backup generators kicked in quickly. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the impact was “minimal.”

About 30,000 people in the D.C. and Maryland area experienced outages, according to power companies.

Garcia, meanwhile, criticized the mayor’s decision to close dozens of schools with low enrollment in predominantly Hispanic and African-American neighborhoods. In recent days, Garcia stepped up criticism of Emanuel’s handling of violent crime in the city. After recording the fewest murders in five decades last year, Chicago saw homicides surge by 29% and shootings by about 40% in the first three months of 2015.

In the end, voters appeared to feel it was a safer bet to stick with Emanuel. “Our city is facing some tough problems,” said Carrie Davenport, 37, who voted for Emanuel. “I think he has the skills and ability to make difficult decisions when they need to be made even when they are unpopular.”

Loan biz raised over $31M, caught regulators’ eye Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Former NFL player Will Allen and an associate ran a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors in an alleged fraud based on loans to pro athletes who were short of cash, a regulator said Tuesday.

Allen, Susan Daub and their Capital Financial Partners firms raised more than $31 million from investors who were promised annual interest rates as high as 18% on the loans, the Securities and Exchange Commission said in a federal fraud complaint.

The operation allegedly raised

roughly $31.7 million from at least 40 investors from July 2012 through February 2015. But Capital Financial advanced about $18 million to athletes during that time, the SEC charged.

As a result, Allen and Daub took in $13.7 million more than they actually loaned to athletes during the nearly three-year span, the SEC said.

The two allegedly withdrew more than $7 million of investors’ money to pay personal expenses, including charges at casinos and nightclubs, or to fund business ventures.

While some loans were genuine, at least one allegedly was fake.

At least 24 investors put up more than $4 million in April 2014-May 2014 to fund a purported $5.65 million loan to an NHL player, according to the SEC com-

plaint. However, the loan was a “sham,” the complaint alleged.

Investors were told all payments on the loan had been made in full and on time, even though the NHL player filed for bankruptcy court protection in October 2014, the SEC charged.

In all, Capital Financial paid approximately $20 million to investors, even as Allen, Daub and their firms got approximately $13.2 million in loan repayments from the athletes.

To fill the nearly $7 million gap, they used money from some investors to pay others, the SEC charged.

“In short, besides using fraud to obtain the investors’ money, Allen and Daub are operating a Ponzi scheme,” the SEC alleged in a 15-page federal court complaint filed April 1 in Boston. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ap-

proved a freeze of the defendants’ assets on the day of the filing.

According to the SEC’s court complaint, Allen, 36, is a former NFL cornerback who played for

the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins between 2001 and 2012.

He was signed by the New England Patriots in 2012 but was placed on injured reserve and ended his pro career in 2013.

Allen is a founder of the three Capital Financial firms charged in the SEC complaint, as well as four entities named as relief defendants.

Daub, 54, is a co-founder of the three Capital Financial defendants and two relief defendants.

She was registered with the SEC as a representative of various broker-dealers and investment advisers before her involvement with Capital Financial.

Allen and Daub could not be reached Tuesday, and Capital Financial did not respond to a message seeking comment that was left at the company’s Boston office.

Earnings season is almost here for most companies. But others are hurtling straight into loss season.

There are 15 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including oil company Hess, Amazon.com and Mattel, that are expected to lose money in the first quarter, according to a USA TODAY analysis of adjusted earnings data from S&P Capital IQ. Brace yourself!

Investors are terrified about the first-quarter earnings season, which kicks off today with aluminum maker Alcoa. Companies are expected to post 3% lower profit during the first quarter — potentially serving as the first warning of a profit recession.

The oil patch has been ravaged by plunging crude prices — and is the source of much of the expected earnings drop in the first quarter.

Nowhere will the pain be felt more than at Hess. The oil company is seen losing $263 million on an adjusted basis during the quarter.

That’s quite a swing from the $152 million it earned on an adjusted basis a year ago, S&P Capital IQ says.

profit. The past six months the shares are down 18%.

Amazon.com is often viewed as a profit machine by consumers. It was in the fourth quarter, when the online retailer pulled down $263 million on an adjusted basis.

Investors want the company to focus less on cool new projects — and more on making money.

The latter is not looking likely in the first quarter. Amazon is expected to report a loss of an adjusted $72.5 million for the quarter.

Over at solar giant First Solar, investors are bracing for a loss.

Analysts expect the company to lose an adjusted 28 cents a share. There went $28 million.

It’s a reversal for a company that’s been consistently making

money for two years. Profit this year is expected to fall 26%.

The House of Hot Wheels is also about to get dented. Mattel is expected to lose an adjusted $28 million in the first quarter.

Barbie needs to pull her weight.

Here’s the part where we talk about the twisted world investors live in. All this profit pain could actually be a gain for brave investors.

The companies’ first-quarter losses appear to be largely priced into the stocks, say analysts, who see an upside for all but three of the stocks. They see a downside in the stocks of Murphy Oil and oil producer Cimarex Energy, and there’s no price target on Leucadia.

Analysts are very optimistic about biotech Vertex Pharmaceuticals, though. The 18-month price target on the stock is $132.88 a share, which, if accurate, would be more than 10% upside.

It’s important to note that these losses are just projected by analysts, on average, at this point. Most of these companies won’t report quarterly results for weeks. Only then will investors know for certain if the estimates for losses were correct.

Companies often beat expectations.

But no matter what happens, grab your popcorn and get ready to watch some train wrecks.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll make some money while these companies lose tons of it.

NBC News named veteran newsman Lester Holt to replace Williams on an interim basis.

Holt held onto the lead in the ini-

tial weeks following his debut, and analysts wondered if he could hold onto the show’s popularity that many believed was engendered by Williams’ widely perceived likability. The fact that NBC’s grip on the lead has loosened likely will fan more speculation about Holt and Williams’ status at NBC News and has emboldened its chief rival, ABC News, to claim — if not publicly — that its strategy of appealing to younger viewers is working.

“Lester Holt has led NBC Nightly News to great success over the past two months, and we continue to be pleased with his strong performance during this time,” NBC News said in a statement.

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

There’s a cloud hanging over the first-quarter earnings season, as analysts are forecasting the first negative quarter for profits since the Great Recession, sparking fears of an “earnings recession.”

Heading into today’s unofficial kickoff to the earnings season when aluminum producer Alcoa reports, analysts expect earnings for the Standard & Poor’s 500stock index to contract 2.8%, which would mark the first profit contraction since the third quarter of 2009. A nearly 64% earnings drop in the energy sector is the main drag.

Here are three things to watch out for this earnings season.

1. Will profit really end up

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

negative? It’s not uncommon for analysts to trim estimates ahead of earnings season. But it’s also not uncommon for the actual earnings to come in 3 to 5 percentage points higher than depressed forecasts. If that trend continues it would temporarily end talk of a profits recession, as many analysts expect profit growth to pick up later in 2015.

2. What will CEOs say about the future? Wall Street hopes CEOs say the weak first quarter — caused by bad weather, plunging oil prices and the negative impact of a stronger dollar — is temporary. If that’s the case, stocks will rally. If not, stocks will come under pressure.

3. Will companies top lower forecasts? The good thing about low profit expectations is that they make it easier to top forecasts. If earnings “beats” stay strong, that’s a good sign.

IN-DEPTH MARKETS COVERAGE USATODAY.COM/MONEY

Most, but certainly not all, spinoffs do well Q: Are spinoffs easy money?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Activist investors love spinoffs.

These corporate moves are designed to unlock the value of a unit buried inside a bigger company — and often times they do.

The Guggenheim Spin-Off exchange traded fund returned 6.8% to investors during the first quarter, beating the nearly 1% total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500, says Joe Cornell of Spin-Off Research. Much of that strong performance is due to the 40% gain of Kraft following the buyout news. Spinoffs have beaten the market the past five years, too.

The first quarter highlights how spinoffs continue to be an investment theme that works for investors. Academic research has shown spun-off companies must be maniacally focused on driving value following the deal. The greater concentration can pay off as the unit that was spun off maximizes gains and minimizes waste.

Certainly, not all spinoffs work out.

Oil driller North Atlantic Drilling was spun off from Seadrill Limited a year ago. The timing proved poor for investors, as it occurred right before oil prices were about to collapse in 2014. Shares of North Atlantic Drilling are down 85% over the past year. Spinoffs are not easy money, nor are they guaranteed hits, but as a group they tend to do well.

FedEx plans expansion in Europe after $4.8B purchase Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Package delivery service FedEx announced Tuesday plans to buy TNT Express for $4.8 billion in a deal that will allow it to expand in Europe and better compete with rivals like United Parcel Service.

FedEx shares rose on the news, jumping $4.49, or 2.7%, to $171.16.

FedEx said it will buy Dutch rival TNT Express, one of Europe’s largest delivery companies, for $4.8 billion in cash. FedEx has reached a conditional agreement

FedEx announced Tuesday it would buy the Dutch parcel-delivery firm TNT Express for $4.8 billion in cash.

to pay $8.75 for each TNT Express share — a premium of 33%

over the company’s April 2 closing price.

The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2016.

FedEx could face regulatory barriers, however. Two years ago UPS dropped its planned takeover of TNT Express due to objections by European Union regulators. “FedEx and TNT Express are confident that antitrust concerns, if any, can be addressed adequately,” the companies said.

UPS is slightly larger than FedEx with annual revenue of $58.2 billion in 2014, compared to revenue of $45.5 billion for

FedEx. UPS also has larger European operations, including large operations in the United Kingdom.

Indeed, Europe is UPS’ largest region outside of the U.S., accounting for roughly half of its international revenue, the company said in a recent report to shareholders.

FedEx recently told shareholders it continues to make progress on its plans “to expand our footprint in Europe,” including the launch of 100 stations across 11 European countries since 2011.

FedEx and TNT have agreed to pay each other breakup fees in

case of a “material breach” of merger protocol, which doesn’t appear to include objections by regulators. Dutch postal company PostNL, which owns a 14.7% stake in TNT Express, said it supports the bid.

“This transaction allows us to quickly broaden our portfolio of international transportation solutions to take advantage of market trends — especially the continuing growth of global ecommerce — and positions FedEx for greater long-term profitable growth,” FedEx Chairman and CEO Fred Smith said in a statement.

Lena Headey is Cersei.

he Game of Thrones geography is expanding even as its characters start to move closer together.

Season 5 of HBO’s hit fantasy returns Sunday (9 p.m. ET/ PT) as Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) have fled Westeros for Essos on separate sea voyages after Tyrion killed his father and Arya, who has her own kill list, sought a place to regroup.

Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is also is in Essos, ruling the city of Meereen as she tries to control her growing dragons. She plans to take back the Iron Throne in Westeros’ Kings Landing, where Tyrion’s siblings are recovering after their father’s murder.

Far to the north, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) of the Night’s Watch and Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), another hopeful to the throne, are taking each other’s measure as supernatural white walkers and their zombie troops roam beyond the towering ice Wall.

“Everyone is at their lowest.

That’s where we find Tyrion. And Jon, who has lost his only love

and is facing serious peril,” says Harington, who calls Sunday’s episode the best season opener since the series premiere.

“This year, you’re going to see some of the most horrible things and darkest places. Parts of my story are a horror.”

The new season also visits a new land, the southernmost Westeros kingdom of Dorne, home of a “passionate and hotblooded” people who “are very good at loving and hating,” executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss say via e-mail.

New characters include Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow, the leader of a growing religious movement in Kings Landing.

Even with so many locales, farflung characters’ paths begin to cross as Thrones gets closer to its eventual climax.

A trailer suggests a potential meeting of Tyrion and Daenerys, each with ties to the Iron Throne.

“To have characters we’ve gotten to know so well and bring them together for the first time (is) a wonderful opportunity,” Benioff and Weiss say.

“And seeing them ripped from their usual context and thrust into unfamiliar locations and situations, there’s just an inherent interest and excitement that comes with that.”

Gwendoline Christie, whose

noble Brienne of Tarth is adrift after Arya resists her protection, says Season 5 “feels like the beginning of the end of the story, so things just move up a notch. The drama is more intense, and the consequences are much more severe.”

As for reports that Thrones will end after seven seasons, the producers say “nothing has been set in stone” on how long the show will run, “but we don’t want to drum it to death.”

They add that it’s difficult to say how the show’s conclusion will sync with the end of the book series.

Martin is still writing the sixth of seven planned novels, and the book and TV versions already have diverged in various ways.

“George does a lot of figuring out as he goes, and he hasn’t written the books yet. We’ve got definite ideas about how we see the show ending,” Benioff and Weiss say.

“There will be both similarities and discrepancies, no doubt, which we think is a gain for both the series and the books, because it means that neither will spoil the other.”

Alicia Vikander wanted to play the ideal robot woman so badly that for a self-made audition, the Swedish actress pulled her hair back, slathered half a bottle of sunscreen on, added some weirdly colored eyeliner and channeled her inner machine.

It wasn’t until Alex Garland cast her to play Ava in his sci-fi movie Ex Machina (opening Friday) that she could start perfecting her character’s perfection. No sunblock required.

“You had the chance to be very artistic and innovative trying to create this thing you really didn’t have any reference to,” says Vikander, 26, who appeared in Anna Karenina and stars next in

LIAM DANIEL, A24

Ava (Alicia Vikander), the “perfect” woman, is put to the ultimate test: whether she can pass as human.

The Danish Girl (Nov. 27).

In Ex Machina, an enigmatic tech CEO (Oscar Isaac) recruits a young programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) to determine if Ava, artificial intelligence in an android body, is so human in personality that she is indistinguishable from a real woman.

Garland didn’t want a fakelooking robot like C-3PO from Star Wars but rather something

elegant and refined, representative of our “post-Apple world,” the director says. “When you look at early computers, they look sort of absurd now.”

Ava, clad in a silver bodysuit with her inner workings added via special effects, looked like a piece of art in “the way the machinery works and moves,” Vikander says. “Even though it weirdly comes down to mesh,

wires and iron, it looks very beautiful.”

Vikander drew upon her childhood dance training to make her movements a little too perfect.

“The stillness of how she moves and sits down and doesn’t blink, those kinds of things made her feel more robotic, because humans are more inconsistent,” the actress says.

Murray Shanahan, a robotics professor at Imperial College London and a consultant on the film, was impressed that Vikander avoided the “uncanny valley,” robotics-speak for something that is a creepy medium between realistic and not-so-much.

“You’re convinced there’s someone at home there,” Shanahan says.

Garland would often tell Vikander that he liked “doe-eyed” Ava, but the traits she exhibits aren’t always so innocent.

“That’s what I was aiming for,” Vikander says. “All the offbeats came from something you hopefully would buy as a girl.”

KU’s Alexander to declare for NBA Draft

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman basketball forward Cliff Alexander, who had what coach Bill Self calls “an interesting and educational year,” has decided to end his college career and enter the 2015 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-8, 240-pounder from Chicago arrived at KU as a likely one-anddone player and likely lottery pick in the June draft.

According to ESPN.com, he exits as somebody “likely to be selected late in the first round.” Indeed, one

Free State softball blanks Pioneers

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s softball team cruised to its first win of the season on Tuesday with a 10-0 victory over Leavenworth at FSHS. The Firebirds took advantage of nine walks and four errors by the Pioneers to put runners on base. They also received a dominant pitching performance from junior Elizabeth Patton, who struck out nine in four innings while allowing just one hit and one walk.

“I was happy,” Patton said.

“My catcher and my defense played really well. Even when I walked one, (catcher Brianna) Burenheide and (infielder Lily) Ross, they got them in the throw down. So they always have my back. I know I don’t have to strike everyone out because they have me 100 percent.”

The Firebirds (1-1) led 3-0 before exploding for seven runs off six hits and three errors in the bottom of the third inning. Junior Cali Byrn hit a two-run single, senior outfielder Kylie Cobb hit a run-scoring single bringing in courtesy runner Kayla Hoppe, sophomore Dacia Starr hit a RBI double and junior Kate Stanwix had a RBI single.

Byrn also smashed a leadoff double in the second inning, and eventually scored on a pair of wild pitches.

“I just needed to wait and stay back on it, which is my number one problem,” Byrn said of her approach at the plate after going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored. “I did that and good things happen.”

Patton didn’t give up a hit until the 13th batter she faced. She usually pitches to contact but threw pitches past Leavenworth batters on Tuesday. Sophomore Mayah Daniels pitched the fifth inning, striking out two before the Firebirds earned the runrule shortened victory.

“I’m a big location person, pitch to contact, because I won’t be the fastest (pitcher) in the league,” Patton said. “Since I have such an awesome defense, I know I can just do my game.”

But even with the big win, the Firebirds weren’t completely happy with their performance at the plate after leaving eight runners on base.

Free State will travel to Olathe Northwest at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

scout told the JournalWorld Alexander could go as high as No. 22 of the first round, with some league Alexander executives enamored with Alexander’s strength and potential rebounding ability.

“This should come as no surprise to anybody,” Self said, in announcing Alexander’s decision after meeting with the player on Tuesday.

“He was a major contribu-

tor to our team from the beginning of the season.

He worked his way into the starting lineup and has had to deal with an off-the-court issue with the NCAA that made him ineligible for the last eight games of our season. We all feel bad for Cliff for what he and our team had to go through because it was difficult for him to sit and watch his teammates play without him. During his time here, Cliff certainly got better. I loved coaching Cliff, but we support his decision 100 percent to move on and take his ability to the next level,” Self added.

Alexander averaged 7.1 points off team-best 56.6 field-goal shooting and 5.3 rebounds. His 37 blocked shots tied for the team-high with junior Jamari Traylor.

His 1.3 blocking average ranked ninth in the Big 12.

“I talked this over with my mom and my dad and we decided the timing was right for me to enter the NBA Draft,” Alexander said.

“Kansas has been a great experience. I enjoyed being on campus. When I came in I didn’t really know much (about playing in college).

I was undersized and not strong enough to bang with

other guys. As the year went on, I got settled and comfortable with the system. I got stronger in the weight room and competed harder.”

He did not say whether an NCAA investigation, allegedly into an extra benefit situation possibly involving his mom, was the reason for his leaving. KU officials would only say Tuesday that they have not been informed of any resolution to the matter. The NCAA has a policy of not commenting on such cases. Alexander’s

FREE STATE SHORTSTOP MIKEY CORBETT DIVES FOR a sharply hit ground ball during the Firebirds’ game against Shawnee Mission Northwest on Tuesday at FSHS.

Missed chances costly for Firebirds

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There are times when baseball is a complex sport, but it was easy to see how Free State lost to Shawnee Mission Northwest, 6-3, on Tuesday at FSHS. The Cougars made the most of their five hits and the Firebirds left seven runners on base.

“I wouldn’t say we didn’t hit the ball. We hit the ball well,” sophomore infielder Zion Bowlin said. “We just didn’t execute when we needed to execute. That’s pretty much about it.”

The Cougars (4-1) took a 4-0 lead in the first inning after their first five batters reached base against Free State starter Parker Tietjen.

Senior Tripp Wright relieved

Tietjen with two runners on and one out, but immediately forced a double play.

“I feel like that gave us a lot of energy and a little bit of breathing room getting out of it that quickly,” said Wright, who gave up two hits and no earned runs in 5 2/3 innings while striking out three.

Bowlin helped the the Firebirds (4-2) cut into SM Northwest’s lead with a run

in the bottom of the first inning. He drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a balk and eventually scored on a groundout by senior Joel Spain.

But without some of the power hitters in recent seasons, the Firebirds aren’t able to score runs and change the game in just one swing.

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll got a glimpse Tuesday evening of the kind of at-bats he wants out of his Lions. To his dismay, they all came in one frame, and Olathe Northwest held Lawrence hitless for three-inning stretches to open and close a 5-3 road victory.

The Lions only managed three hits in the loss, and they came on consecutive at-bats in the bottom of the fourth inning from junior Brad Kincaid, senior Michael Sinks and junior Zak McAlister.

The three singles, followed by RBI-groundouts from senior

Stephen Garcia and junior Daonte Lowery, allowed LHS (15) to tie the game, 3-3.

But Stoll said his team too often failed to step into the box ready to hit and apply pressure.

“You can’t do that,” the coach said. “We’ve got to find a way to have several innings with several quality (at bats) to win in this league against a good team like that.”

After rallying back from a three-run deficit, created by two singles and three RBIs from the Ravens’ Sam Harding, LHS second baseman Sinks said the Lions felt they had momentum.

BRIEFLY Downtown shot put event set for April 17 The Downtown Lawrence Men’s Shot Put is back for a fourth spring and is scheduled for Friday, April 17, in its usual location, on Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire Streets, the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau announced Tuesday.

Fan favorite Reese Hoffa, 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, Christian Cantwell, 2008 Olympic silver medalist, and Ryan Whiting, 2014 World Indoor Champion, are among the field of 10 throwers who have committed to the event.

The downtown shot put has drawn big crowds in the past and the competitors have interacted with the crowd, enciting spectators to bring volume so that they can feed off their energy.

“The athletes enjoy coming to Lawrence because it is such an unusual setting for the competition and Lawrence always gives them a warm welcome,” event organizer Bob Sanner said in a press release. “The City supports this unique opportunity and people get a chance to see Olympic athletes in action right downtown and enjoy something of a street party afterwards.”

NBA to sponsor camp in Cuba The NBA is going to Cuba.

The professional basketball league announced Tuesday that it is hosting a development camp in Havana April 23-26. Recently retired guard Steve Nash and NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo are among the players who will lead the four-day event, which the NBA trumpeted as the first visit to Cuba by an American professional sports entity since President Barack Obama announced plans to improve diplomatic relations between the two countries.

“We’ve seen the bridges that basketball can build between cultures,” NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum said. “We look forward to sharing the values of our game with Cuban youth and learning together through the common language of sports.”

Initial planning for the NBA’s trip to Cuba came together not long after President Obama’s announcement in December.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

NAIA school hires ex-Baylor coach Bethany, Okla. — Dave Bliss, who resigned at Baylor in 2003 following a major scandal, has been named head coach at Southwestern Christian University, a small NAIA school.

In 2003, Baylor player Patrick Dennehy was found shot to death after he had been missing for six weeks. Former teammate Carlton Dotson pleaded guilty to murder, and the ensuing investigation uncovered NCAA violations, illegal tuition payments and unreported failed drug tests on Bliss’ watch, leading him to resign. Bliss also was secretly recorded by an assistant coach as he tried to persuade others to cover up his misdeeds by portraying Dennehy as a drug dealer.

mom did not return a phone call asking for comment. Alexander’s attorney also did not return a call requesting comment.

“Playing in Allen Fieldhouse… that’s the craziest place I have ever played,” Alexander said. “I’m going to miss the fans. They showed me a lot of love everywhere I went. They are a very supportive fan base. I’m going to miss my teammates a lot. I’m going to miss everybody.

Coach Self knows the game of basketball and taught me a lot on and off the court while I was here,” Alexander added.

“I’ve known Jerrance (Howard) since I was a sophomore in high school. We’ve had a great relationship. When I got here that just grew, he felt like a big brother to me. All the coaches and staff were very supportive during my time here.

They helped me grow and mature.”

ESPN draft expert Chad Ford on Tuesday had this to say about Alexander at the Web address http:// ljw.bz/1O5Plf7 “Alexander began the season ranked as a potential lottery pick. Blessed with elite strength, athleticism and a terrific motor, scouts expected him to dominate weaker, less athletic bigs in college.

Alas, Alexander’s lack of basketball IQ and height (just 6-foot-8) caused him

With one out in the third inning, the Firebirds had three straight singles from seniors Cooper Karlin, Spain and Jon Saathoff, but that only loaded the bases. Karlin scored on sacrifice fly by junior Hunter Gudde, and a strikeout ended the inning and the chance for more runs.

Wright kept Free State close with his ability to locate his pitches and force routine grounders and pop flys. He also re-

“Good at-bats feed off of good at-bats,” Sinks said. “Even if we’re just hitting the ball hard.”

However, the Lions couldn’t build on their brief outburst, and ONW scored the go-ahead run in the top of the sixth on an RBI-single from No. 9 hitter Henry Smits. The Ravens padded their lead in the seventh by scoring on a passed ball.

to struggle and, for the most part, he never was a huge part of the Kansas offense. An NCAA investigation into his eligibility ended his season early and it’s likely that the investigation was a primary factor in deciding to declare for the draft, as Alexander risked being ineligible next season. Some NBA teams still believe he has upside. He could go anywhere in the 20-to40 range,” Ford wrote. l Roster talk: KU, which also loses one-and-done freshman Kelly Oubre Jr., now has four scholarships available in recruiting. More could be available if junior Perry Ellis turns pro and/or anybody transfers. One vacancy has been filled

by No. 15-ranked (by Rivals.com) Carlton Bragg, 6-9, Cleveland’s Villa Angela St. Joseph High, who has orally committed to KU. Prep prospects who are considering KU include No. 2 Jaylen Brown, 6-7, Wheeler High, Marietta, Georgia; No. 3 Malik Newman, 6-3, Callaway High, Jackson, Mississippi; No. 5 Thon Maker, 7-foot, Orangeville Prep, Mono, Ontario; No. 7 Cheick Diallo, 6-7, Our Savior New American, Centereach, New York; No. 11 Stephen Zimmerman, 7-foot, Bishop Gorman High, Las Vegas; and No. 19 Brandon Ingram, 6-8, Kinston (North Carolina) High. Michael Thorne Jr., a 6-11 senior transfer from UNC Charlotte, is considering KU, Pitt and Illinois.

l Where will he go?: Draftexpress.com currently lists Alexander as the first pick of the second round. NBAdraft.net has Alexander the fifth pick of the second round. l Forced to decide?: Dan Feldman of probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com had an interesting take on Alexander’s decision to turn pro.

“Unfortunately, the decision was essentially taken out of Alexander’s hands when the NCAA began investigating whether he and his family were remaining poor enough while Kansas got rich off his fixed-wage labor,” Feldman wrote at http://ljw.bz/1NStN3O “Whether you believe college or the pros better develops players for the NBA, there’s no question Alexander wouldn’t develop much at Kansas if suspended next season. So, to the draft he goes. Alexander is a borderline first-round pick.

The most common words used when assessing his game are ‘Basketball IQ’ – as in, it needs to improve.

He’s just 19, so it should.

But there’s always concern about how much and how quickly.

“There’s a reason Alexander was so highly touted coming out of high school. There’s also a reason he’s not the top-10 pick many expected. But there’s no good reason Alexander should be forced into this choice. Alas, he is, and NBA teams must now evaluate an intriguing but flawed prospect.”

ceived some help from his defense when Spain made a diving catch and tracked down a line drive in center field.

“He did a super job,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said of Wright. “Other than the sixth when we had a few snafus to give up a run, I thought he was super and I’m happy for him. He’s such a good kid and works so hard, you like to see him have success. He certainly kept us within reach of them.”

Free State added a run in the seventh inning after Bowlin drilled a triple to right-center and scored on a groundout by

Karlin. After starting the season with a 4-0 record, the Firebirds have lost their last two games, but they’re not worried about falling into a bigger skid.

“We just have to keep our heads up, practice hard,” Bowlin said, “get back in the groove.”

The Firebirds will go on the road to face Shawnee Mission West at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Nyle Anderson led off the bottom of the seventh for Lawrence by reaching on an error, but then got caught attempting to steal second base. With two outs, Kincaid hit a ball deep in the hole between shortstop and third, but ONW shortstop Austin Hansen snagged it on the run, leapt with his momentum carrying him away from first base and gunned it to the other side of the infield for the decisive out.

ONW blanks LHS soccer

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

After three straight competitive outings to open the season from his Lawrence High girls soccer team, coach Justin Young didn’t think a 5-0 home loss to Olathe Northwest Tuesday night indicated a turn in the wrong direction.

The Lions (2-2) held the Ravens scoreless most of the opening half, before ONW freshman Jaiden Chase busted the stalemate in the 32nd minute and junior Tatum Heller added to the visitors’ lead before halftime.

Young said the Lions surrendered control to

ONW when they began struggling with a new formation they are trying to use.

“We weren’t reading their movement very well,” the Lawrence coach said, “and we weren’t covering for each other extremely well, and our communication broke down.”

Once the Ravens had the Lions figured out, they added goals from junior Emily Kemp, sophomore Sophia LaTorella and Chase in the second half, before nearby lightning ended the match in the 73rd minute.

LHS showed at times in defeat it could play as a supportive unit, and Young has seen positives

from a number of his players early this spring.

He said senior Keeli Billings makes good decisions, senior Sadie Keller had adapted well while playing different positions, sophomore Skylar Drum has proven solid, new goalkeeper junior Katie Murrish is doing well while learning and freshmen Maria Duncan and Mikayla Downs are “making some noise” at the top of the LHS attack.

Fatigue and frustration led to a five-goal difference, Young added, and the Lions just need to settle in.

“I think we’re gonna surprise some people,” the coach predicted.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Orioles’ big first sinks Rays The Associated Press

American League Orioles 6, Rays 5 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Adam Jones drove in two runs with a double during a four-run first inning Tuesday night, and Baltimore hung on to beat Tampa Bay. Steve Pearce homered for the second straight game, a two-run drive that made it 6-0 in the second for Orioles, who won Monday’s opener 6-2. Pearce, from nearby Lakeland, has five homers in his last 11 games at Tropicana Field.

Baltimore’s Chris Davis went 0 for 3, including an eighth-inning fly to the warning track, and was hit by a pitch as the DH in his return after a 25-game suspension for a positive amphetamine test.

Wei-Yin Chen lasted just 41⁄3 innings, his shortest start since June 28, when he went 31⁄3 innings in a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay. He needed just eight pitches to retire the side in the first inning, but the Rays then began to increase Chen’s pitch count by fouling off tough pitches.

Latos, acquired in the offseason, lasted only two-thirds of an inning in the shortest outing of his career. He was booed as he left the game, his first for his hometown team, and departed with an ERA of 94.50.

are also high in riboflavin (34 percent) and niacin (36 percent) and low in calories at just 42 for that whole cup.

Now, I realize a lot of people don’t prefer the taste of raw mushrooms (like, ahem, my husband), so the recipe I’ve shared cooks them just ever-so-slightly. The idea is that they’re cooked enough not to feel raw but not so cooked that they are mushy with juice (like, say, a porto-

bello burger often is).

The guac filling makes these seem a little festive and not all “mushroom-y,” meaning you can bring these babies to a party and not get scrunched-up noses from the guests.

Also of note: You can use full-sized portobellos for this if you prefer, but that’ll be a LOT of guac for a single serving. Not that that’s a bad thing.

ne fun thing about living in Lawrence? The restaurants are always changing. One not-sofun thing about living in Lawrence? The restaurants are always changing.

It’s a mixed blessing. For every new gem (hello there, Hank Charcuterie!), a place I love closes down (I still miss you, Westside Deli and Bistro).

For every new menu creation I can’t get enough of (kale and beet salad at Limestone, anyone?), there’s another favorite that disappears forever (still holding a grudge about the butternut squash ravioli, Free State).

The pasta below was inspired by one such disappeared favorite.

Do you remember Esquina? For about two seconds between when it was a taco place and when it turned into Intorno, Esquina served

The right way to drink espresso Mushroom CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1CR

By Leah Eskin Chicago Tribune

Espresso must be tipped from a tiny cup, in a crowded train station, standing up. Other methods exist, but they aren’t as stylish.

Lucia taught me. Actually, it was her mom.

We’d ditched our dreary dorm and turned up at her family’s place in Perugia.

At midnight, a carload of cousins met our train. We swerved up a steep road and tumbled out to a long table, bright with candles, heavy with wine bottles, fragrant with oranges and pistachios.

Lacking the language, I followed along: Mornings: market. Afternoons: kitchen. Evenings: table, candles, wine, oranges and pistachios. On the weekend, in Rome, her grandfather showed me old photos and her grandmother, in exasperation, urged: “Parla italiano! E facile!”

Then Lucia’s mom packed us into the car, careened around corners and lurched to a stop at the station. She walked her stippled leather boots across the hall, ordered an espresso and downed it, standing up.

I’ve always minded that lesson. Sometimes I embellish with a crisp orange/pistachio bite. It’s as close as I get to speaking Italian. As promised: It goes down easy.

Baby Bellas with Busy Mom Guac Ingredients 1 pound baby portobello mushrooms (sometimes called crimini) Olive oil 2 avocados 1/4 cup salsa (I used Green Mountain Gringo Mild) Pistachio biscotti

Pistachio Biscotti

Directions Preheat oven to 350 F. De-stem and wash the mushrooms and pat them dry. Place them gills up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle in olive oil. Bake them for 8-10 minutes.

As they cook, prepare the guacamole. Cut the pitted and seeded avocado into large chunks and put them in a small bowl. Mash them with a fork to your desired consistency. Next, stir in salsa.

When the mushrooms are done, wait until they are cool enough to handle and fill each cap with guac.

Eat immediately.

sandwiches, or roasted with other vegetables. It holds up to heat and moisture well, which makes for limitless possibilities.

I am so excited for warm weather and summer, and have been focusing most of my cooking lately on salads and trying to avoid the stove and oven as much as possible.

The portobello makes this really easy, because I can add something of substance to a salad without having to grill or saute.

This spinach caprese salad is so simple and takes seconds to put together, but is long on flavor and freshness. The large mushroom cap means we don’t leave the table feeling like we ate like rabbits.

Portobello Caprese Salad Ingredients 4 cups baby spinach leaves 2 large portobello mushroom caps 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella, cubed 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup basil, chopped For the dressing 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons honey Pinch of salt Cracked black pepper (generous) 1 clove garlic, minced Minced fresh basil

Directions Shake up the dressing in a jar and set aside.

Slice the mushroom into long pieces and arrange on top of the spinach leaves. Cut the mozzarella into cubes and sprinkle over the top, as well as the halved grape tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with fresh basil right before serving.

So simple! This is one of my favorite salads and is regular in the rotation.

Even my children will eat it because it’s laden with that fresh mozzarella, which is amazing when it soaks up some of the balsamic.
