New welfare rules among nation’s strictest Psychics, tattoos, lingerie added to banned list

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — A new Kansas law tells poor families that they can’t use cash assistance from the state to attend concerts, get tattoos, see a psychic or buy lingerie. The list of don’ts runs to several dozen items.

More than 20 other states have such lists. But the one included by the

Republican-dominated Kansas Legislature in a bill signed Thursday by GOP Gov. Sam Brownback appears to be the most exhaustive, according to state Department for Children and Families officials.

It’s inspired national criticism and mockery from “The Daily Show.” Host Jon

Stewart suggested that in accepting federal funds, Kansas should be forced to give up items like roads “paved with luxurious asphalt.”

Many of the spending restrictions in the law already existed in state policy. Brownback said the list, which is a part of a broader welfare law taking effect

July 1, is aimed at moving poor families from social services into jobs.

“I think it is important that every chance we get we encourage people to get back into the marketplace, get back into the job market,” he said.

hen the new Lawrence City Commission begins to talk about plans to build a new police headquarters, don’t be surprised if the conversation also turns to Parks and Recreation.

If you remember, just prior to the City Commission election, commissioners briefly discussed the idea of a no-tax increase plan to build a new

$26 million police headquarters. That plan had two main components: delay some road projects for a few years and fundamentally change how sales tax dollars are used to fund Parks and Recreation for the next 20 years or more.

Well, this week Parks and Recreation leaders met with the department’s advisory board, and a topic of discussion was how to address

future maintenance needs if large amounts of the department’s current sales tax funding are diverted to the police project.

A 30-year-old Topeka man found guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary last month was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

A jury in March found Archie Robinson guilty in the March 8, 2014, shooting death of 39-year-old Patrick Roberts, of Lawrence. Prosecutors Amy McGowan and Alice Walker argued that the death was an aggravated burglary gone wrong.

At the sentencing hearing Robinson Thursday, Robinson made a short statement maintaining his innocence, but Judge Paula Martin ultimately handed down the life sentence.

Robinson also received a 57-month sentence for the aggravated burglary charge,

mostly for alcohol, tobacco, gambling and adult-oriented businesses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

A few states — not Kansas — prohibit buying guns, according to the NCSL, and a few ban tattoos or body piercings.

Massachusetts prohibits spending on jewelry, bail bonds, or “vacation services.” A 2014 Louisiana law bars card use on cruise ships, which is also on the Kansas list.

Kansas Department for Children and Families officials said that it’s difficult to track how often cash assistance is used for items on the state’s new list because recipients can use their benefits cards to obtain cash.

The law will limit ATM withdrawals of cash assistance to $25 a day.

The department said it reclaimed $199,000 in cash assistance from 81 fraud cases from July through February, but said most involved questions about eligibility.

The state provided $14 mil-

lion in cash assistance during the same period.

A 2014 federal report said a check of eight states’ data showed transactions with benefit cards at liquor stores, casinos or strip clubs accounted for less than 1 percent of the total.

Phyllis Gilmore, Kansas’ secretary for children and families, said at the bill signing that the state has not yet determined if it will increase the penalties for violating the restrictions.

Asked whether enforcement of the restrictions should be increased now that they have been codified into law, Brownback said, “I don’t know that they should one way or the other.”

Critics question whether such restrictions can be enforced. Elizabeth Schott, senior fellow with the leftleaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said enacting them simply creates an “aura of abuse.”

“Undermining support for the programs is what the restrictions do,” she said.

agreed to continue pursuing ideas for attracting nonresident students but also keeping them here once they’ve earned degrees.

Studying the impact of nonresident students is one of the board’s 2014-15 goals.

Higher education is the largest — albeit under-sung — importer of talent to the state, Board of Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk said.

However, the system has no strategy for retaining that talent, he said.

Regents vice president for academic affairs Gary Alexander presented the “Report on the Impact of Out-of-State students on the Kansas Higher Education System.” According to the report, based on data from 2008 to 2013: l 8,650 international students were enrolled at Regents institutions in 2013.

They created $202 million in economic impact. That’s more than double what it was five years earlier; in 2008, 4,813 international students created $94.4 million in economic impact. l 32,839 out-of-state students were enrolled at Regents institutions in 2013.

– Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be They created $753.1 milreached at 813-7146 lion in economic impact. or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com. In 2008, 31,882 out-of-state

students were enrolled, accounting for $520.8 million in economic impact. l 18.2 percent of international graduates from Regents institutions were employed in Kansas their first year after graduation, with their total economic impact estimated to be $2.2 million. Five years after graduation, only 9.2 percent were employed in the state, and their economic impact dropped to $1 million. l For out-of-state students, 17.6 percent were employed in Kansas right after graduation, with an economic impact of $9.4 million. Five years after graduation, 13 percent were here, with an economic impact of $8.4 million.

“Kansas data clearly demonstrates that international and nonresident students have an economic impact on the state,” the report concludes. “And, of course, they also bring academic and cultural attributes that enrich the campus climate wherever they may be enrolled. So there clearly is value in attracting such students.”

A number of Regents institutions are pursuing recruitment and retention efforts for nonresident students, including Kansas University, which has a goal of doubling its international enrollment in a fouryear span.

Wichita State Univer-

sity President John Bardo shared some of what his school is doing and said Kansas needs more jobs in high-tech research.

Many outstanding students who start out working here end up moving elsewhere — like the Research Triangle or Silicon Valley regions — as they advance in careers.

“A lot of them are being promoted away from Kansas because our economy isn’t really structured around the higher-end jobs,” Bardo said.

Arin Powers, Fort Hays State University student body president and an Oklahoma native, said Kansas appealed to her because its small communities and rural areas are full of opportunities for young people to make a real impact.

“We want those kinds of places ... where we can jump in and change the world,” Powers said.

But she said graduates also want a vibrant quality of life, and seek places they can plug in to social, professional and recreational activities.

The Board of Regents agreed to further explore solutions and return to the nonresident student discussion later.

but the court ruled that sentence will be served concurrently with the life sentence.

At Robinson’s jury trial, McGowan argued that Robinson and co-defendant Dustin Walker kicked in the door to Roberts’ Cedarwood Apartments duplex around 3 a.m. in an attempt to steal marijuana and money from Roberts, who was known to sell marijuana from his bedroom. McGowan alleged that Walker shot Roberts, but because Robinson was involved in the inherently dangerous felony that led to Roberts’ death, he was charged with felony firstdegree murder.

Roberts’ son, Michael Neis-Roberts, 17, testified that he saw two men burst through his front door, go to Roberts’ room and say: “Where is it?”

Neis-Roberts said he then heard his father say, “I don’t know what you are talking about,” and a gun went off.

Neis-Roberts said that’s when his uncle, Roberts’ brother Wayne, came into the room, tackled Walker, who had the gun, and struggled briefly with him until the two intruders ran away. Neis-Roberts said his uncle saw a third man outside run away with the two intruders.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said after the conviction that the Roberts’ family’s presence during the murder “con-

They didn’t come up with any easy answers.

They did come up with a list, though. Department leaders put together a list of about 40 projects they believe are needed maintenance projects or needed enhancements to existing facilities that will be tough to fund.

The list is nothing new. There is a version of it every year. It also isn’t new that the department doesn’t have enough money to fund everything on the list.

What’s new this year, though, is that some future sales tax funding that was going to become available to perhaps address some of those projects is in jeopardy of going to the the police project. The department’s maintenance budget currently is set at $500,000 a year in sales tax money. But city projections call for that amount to grow by 4 percent a year. If the no-tax police plan moves forward, the $500,000 would be frozen. The plan also calls for some other sales tax revenues that have been earmarked for Parks and Recreation to be shifted to police.

So, expect advocates for parks and recreation to begin making some noise at City Hall in the near future.

tributed to the tragic nature of the event.”

Robinson’s shoe, Walker’s hat and the gun, which belonged to Walker’s girlfriend, were found at the crime scene, detectives said. Police testified that they found Robinson and Walker running near the Roberts’ home in bloodstained clothing shortly after the shooting. Robinson was not wearing shoes.

Robinson’s attorney, Branden Smith, suggested at the trial that perhaps Robinson was the third man outside. Smith said there was no evidence to suggest that Robinson broke into the home with Walker that morning.

According to court records, Robinson has an extensive criminal history in Douglas County, including various drug convictions and a juvenile burglary charge stemming back to 2002. He remains in the Douglas County Jail until he can be transferred to a correctional facility.

If Robinson is released from prison, he will be required to register as a violent offender for 15 years, said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the district attorney.

Co-defendant Walker was found guilty in February of aggravated burglary, but his jury could not agree on his first-degree murder charge. His second jury trial for the first-degree murder charge is set to begin May 4. It is scheduled to last five days.

commission has some understanding of how this works,” said Joe Caldwell, a member of the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

“You can’t just ignore the problem, because these issues won’t get cheaper to fix, and they won’t just go away.”

Here’s a look at the list of projects highlighted by parks and recreation leaders: l $80,000 to replace playground equipment at Burcham Park. The equipment was removed to accommodate a project that worked on the nearby intake pipe for the adjacent Kaw Water Treatment Plant. l $85,000 to add parking at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. l $40,000 to restore the old stone wall at Clinton Park. l $45,000 to improve the pavement leading into the Youth Sports Complex in West Lawrence. l $45,000 to improve the pavement leading into the Clinton Softball Complex in west Lawrence. l $30,000 for various improvements on concrete trails around the city. Several of them have had settling issues that have created tripping hazards. l $40,000 to replace the flooring in the Community Building. It has become so worn that it is slick, and larger issues also may need to be addressed. Moisture is coming through the

In a statement after the signing, Senate Minority Leader Democrat Anthony Hensley called the law “a punitive and highly judgmental piece of legislation” that would make it harder for Kansans to escape poverty.

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of the advocacy group Kansas Action for Children, said the list has attracted national attention because “it feels mean-spirited.”

“It really seems to make a statement about how we feel about the poor,” she said.

A 2012 federal law requires states to prevent benefit-card use at liquor stores, gambling establishments or adult-entertainment businesses.

At least 23 states have their own restrictions on how cards can be used,

Board of ed delays vote on teacher licensure proposal

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

The Kansas State Board of Education instructed a group of school districts to revise a proposal that would allow them to bypass licensure regulations when hiring teachers.

The board originally planned to vote on the proposal Thursday, but decided the agenda item would be a discussion only, even before more than a dozen speakers

from the public voiced their opposition to it.

“We got a letter from all the deans of schools of education concerned about this,” said board member Janet Waugh.

In 2013, Kansas created a system where up to 29 school districts could apply to be named an “Innovative District,” which would allow them to be exempted from certain state laws in the pursuit of innovation.

From the golf course to the classroom, Craig Lunte was a man who could tackle a challenge and make it look easy, said his good friend and colleague Brian Laird.

“He was happiest on a cold Irish golf course with a 50-mile-an-hour wind and a slight drizzle,” Laird said. “That would get him going the most, the sheer challenge of it.”

Lunte, 57, a longtime professor in Kansas University’s Department of Chemistry, died Monday at his home in Lawrence,

“No known country has positively impacted student learning by decreasing teacher qualifications and standards,” said Kenneth Weaver, the dean of Emporia State Unviersity’s Teachers College.

Several members of the state board criticized the coalition for not collaborating with other institutions, like university school of education departments, on their proposal.

Cynthia Lane, the superintendent for the Kansas City school district, said the coalition would invite other stakeholders to join the conversation as it revisits its proposal.

Lane also stressed that the goal of the proposal is not about hiring less qualified teachers. She said the coalition, if the proposal were to be approved, would consider licensure, educational degrees, experience and references when considering the applicants for a Specialized Training Certificate.

Washburn frat suspended over ‘vulgar’ text messages Topeka (ap) — A Washburn University fraternity has been suspended while its national leadership investigates sexually vulgar text messages between members on the Topeka campus, fraternity and school officials said.

Phi Delta Theta International said Thursday it suspended the Washburn chapter as it investigates the messages, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

University spokesman Patrick Early said the Office of Student Life was interviewing fraternity members.

Messages obtained by the Capital-Journal document several exchanges conducted over a group texting app.

State assessments working well Following a year in which cyberattacks killed the state’s annual assessment tests, staff from the Kansas State Department of Education’s Career Standards and Assessment Services team reported there were no major issues so far this year.

After schools across Kansas reported widespread problems last year, the board decided not to use any results of the tests, which play

a role in accrediting schools and determining their qualification for federal funding. The state used a new online system for the tests that year.

This year, though, the state has experienced only minor issues, which have been quickly addressed, according to Scott Smith, the director of the assessment services team. He said there have been no problems with bandwidth, connectivity or cyberattacks.

“He made it look easy.”

Lunte came to KU in 1987 as an assistant professor of chemistry, the release said. In 1993 he was awarded tenure and the title of associate professor. In 1997 he was named a full professor.

Topeka introduces state’s first bike share Topeka (ap) — The state’s first public bikesharing program has begun rolling in Topeka.

The Topeka Metro Bikes program kicked off Wednesday afternoon with a brief ceremony on the Washburn University campus. It offers 100 bicycles for anyone to use for short-term recreation or commuting in the state’s capital city.

The bikes, equipped with a basket, GPS and lock, can be found at 10 stations across Topeka.

Members sign up for $25, which pays for two hours of use a day. Visitors may use bikes for $2.50 an hour. Members receive a personal identification number to unlock the bikes and they can leave them at any station in the city when they are done with them, The Topeka

Capital-Journal reported.

Washburn University President Jerry Farley joined in the ceremony before jumping on a bicycle for a ride Wednesday.

“We don’t have a culture of bicycles and bicycle riding,” Farley said of the university. “This, I think, will start that.”

The program is offered by the Topeka Metro mass transit service and mirrors similar programs that are growing in popularity across the country.

Washburn students, faculty and staff can join for a discounted annual rate of $20 and Farley said he expected the program to be popular on campus.

The program’s benefits include reduced parking problems, fewer vehicle emissions and increased exercise for students and employees, he said.

Progressive gestures hurt universities

EDITORIALS

Big job Lawrence city commissioners shouldn’t hesitate to ask for some help in hiring the next city manager.

H

iring a new city manager probably is the most important task currently facing the Lawrence City Commission.

With that in mind, commissioners should set up a process that actively seeks out potential candidates for the job and draws on all the expertise available in the community to help evaluate those candidates and make the best choice for Lawrence.

Commissioners may hire a search firm to help them identify candidates to replace Dave Corliss, but the recent experiences of the Lawrence chamber of commerce are a reminder that such firms aren’t always successful in identifying candidates that are a good fit for Lawrence. Whether or not the city hires a search firm, it should use other connections and contacts to find people that a search firm might miss, including those who may not currently be considering a job change.

The current commission has just one veteran member, one member with two years experience and three brand new members. The relative inexperience of the group suggests that the search process might benefit from drawing on additional community resources such as Kansas University’s highly ranked public administration program. The city might even consider establishing some kind of advisory search committee of community leaders who could help evaluate candidates and provide some input to the commission.

City managers play a vital role in the life of Lawrence. They set the standards of professionalism and service for a large city staff that interacts with the community every day. They oversee the city’s finances. They are responsible for executing the agenda set by city commissioners and, in many cases, help to shape that agenda. Commissioners come and go, but city managers provide ongoing leadership and stability for the city government.

The last two city managers have been promoted from within the existing staff.

That may again be an option, but the city also should consider outside candidates who might bring some new ideas and experience with them.

Hiring the next city manager will be a challenging task. City commissioners shouldn’t hesitate to call on the community’s expertise to help them make this important choice.

Washington — Syracuse University alumni are new additions to the lengthening list of people who can stop contributing to their alma maters. The university has succumbed — after, one suspects, not much agonizing — to the temptation to indulge in progressive gestures.

It will divest all fossil fuel stocks from its endowment.

It thereby trumps Stanford, whose halfhearted exercise in right-mindedness has been to divest only coal stocks.

Evidently carbon from coal is more morally disquieting than carbon from petroleum.

The effect of these decisions on consumption of fossil fuels will be nil; the effect on the growth of institutions’ endowments will be negative. The effect on alumni giving should be substantial, because divesting institutions are proclaiming that the goal of expanding educational resources is less important than the striking of righteous poses — if there can be anything righteous about flamboyant futility.

The divestment movement is a manifestation of a larger phenomenon, academia’s embrace of “sustainability,” a development explored in “Sustainability: Higher Education’s New Fundamentalism” from the National Association of Scholars (NAS). The word “fundamentalism” is appropriate, for five reasons: Like many religions’ premises, the sustainability movement’s premises are more assumed than demonstrated.

Second, weighing the costs of obedience to sustainability’s commandments is considered unworthy. Third, the sustainability crusade supplies acolytes with a world-

“

There is a social benefit from the sustainability mania: the further marginalization of academia.” view that infuses their lives with purpose and meaning.

Fourth, the sustainability movement uses apocalyptic rhetoric to express its eschatology. Fifth, the church of sustainability seeks converts, encourages conformity to orthodoxy and regards rival interpretations of reality as heretical impediments to salvation.

Some subscribers to the sustainability catechism are sincerely puzzled by the accusation that it is political correctness repackaged.

They see it as indisputable because it is undisputed; it is obvious, elementary, even banal. Actually, however, the term “sustainable” postulates fragility and scarcity that entail government planners and rationers to fend off planetary calamity while administering equity. The unvarying progressive agenda is for government to supplant markets in allocating wealth and opportunity. “Sustainability” swaddles this agenda in “science,” as progressives understand this — “settled” findings that

would be grim if they did not mandate progressivism.

Orthodoxy was enshrined in the 2006 “American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment.” Since then, the NAS study concludes, “the campus sustainability movement has gone from a minor thread of campus activism to becoming the master narrative of what ‘liberal education’ should seek to accomplish.” Government subsidizes the orthodoxy: The Environmental Protection Agency alone has spent more than $333 million on sustainability fellowships and grants. Anti-capitalism is explicit: Markets “privilege” individuals over communities. Indoctrination is relentless: Cornell has 403 sustainability courses (e.g., “The Ethics of Eating”). Sustainability pledges are common.

The University of Virginia’s is: “I pledge to consider the social, economic and environmental impacts of my habits and to explore ways to foster a sustainable environment during my time here at U.Va. and beyond.”

Sustainability, as a doctrine of total social explanation, transforms all ills and grievances into environmental causes, cloaked in convenient science, as with: Climate change causes prostitution (warming increases poverty, which increases ... ).

Or the “environmental racism” of the supposed warming that supposedly caused hurricane Katrina, which disproportionately impacted New Orleans blacks.

The same sort of people — sometimes the same people — who once predicted catastrophe from the exhaustion of fossil fuels now pre-

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 17, 1915: years “Few spectators ago at the KansasIN 1915 Hawaiian baseball games during the past two days realized that the Jayhawkers were up against an educated bunch of foreigners....

‘We are all registered at the University of Hawaii and this trip is possible because we are allowed to take a leave of absence for one semester.’... The guests at the Eldridge House vouchsafe for the fact that the visiting team was exceptionally quiet and well behaved.”

dict catastrophe because of a surfeit of such fuels. Former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth of Colorado, divestment enthusiast and possessor of astonishing knowledge, says: If we burn all known fossil fuels, we will make the planet uninhabitable, so, “Why should any rational institution invest in further exploration and development when we already have at least three times more than we can ever use?”

There is a social benefit from the sustainability mania: the further marginalization of academia. It prevents colleges and universities from trading on what they are rapidly forfeiting, their reputations for seriousness.

The divestment impulse recognizes no limiting principle. As it works its way through progressivism’s thicket of moral imperatives — shedding investments tainted by involvement with Israel, firearms, tobacco, red meat, irrigation-dependent agriculture, etc. — progressivism’s dream of evermore-minute regulation of life is realized, but only in campus cocoons.

College tuitions are soaring in tandem with thickening layers of administrative bloat. So here is a proposal: Hundreds of millions could be saved, with no cost to any institution’s core educational mission, by eliminating every position whose title contains the word “sustainability” — and, while we are at it, “diversity,” “multicultural” or “inclusivity.” The result would be higher education higher than the propaganda-saturated version we have, and more sustainable.

To the editor: In response to your “Voter apathy” observations of the last local election (J-W editorial, April 9), it seems to be a recurring article after every one of these elections over the years. Thankfully the public was spared the sophomoric campaign ads of the state and federal elections.

Having been a resident over 50 years, I have observed Lawrence grow stagnant in terms of retail business, industrial development and in general a good tax base. Home ownership is less than rental occupancy. Lawrence is a transition town, a stop on the way to somewhere else. Residents are not staying because there are not enough good-paying local jobs. Lawrence has lost a lot of industrial jobs that employed a lot of people that area towns are getting. Seems that job creation has been delegated to the local chamber of commerce and even they have lost leadership to a lack of suitable employment for spouses. Even the local paper is now printed in Kansas City!

I feel a city commission should focus on infrastructure, roads and bridges, public services and increasing the tax revenues by attracting and retaining solid businesses that will bring blue collar jobs that workers can stay and retire from. Having a vibrant work force I feel will provide a more permanent and hopefully larger residential base that future commissions would answer to and should increase turnout at the polls.

Their conclusions match those of a massive 2010 United Nations report, which concluded that a global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and climate change.

Carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to operate farm machinery, trucks, refrigeration equipment, factory farms and slaughterhouses. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools.

Moreover, animal agriculture contributes more pollutants to our waterways than other human activities combined. Principal sources are animal wastes, soil particles, minerals, crop debris, fertilizers and pesticides from feed croplands. It is also the driving force in worldwide deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

In an environmentally sustainable world, just as fossil fuels are replaced by wind, solar and other sustainable energy sources, animal foods must be replaced by vegetables, fruits and grains. Our next trip to the supermarket is a great starting point.

Saul Lambert, Lawrence

To the editor: Kudos to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for participating in the 12th annual National Donate Life Month. I would like to challenge readers to take organ donation one step further and become a living donor.

The benefits of being a living donor are: You remove someone from the waiting list, you give someone a better quality of life, technology has improved to require less down time, being a living donor is by far cheaper than incurring medical bills from complications of their illness, and an organ from a living donor lasts longer than from a deceased organ donor.

Every year more than 6,500 people die while on the waiting list. These people are fathers, mothers, children, brothers, sisters, etc. A living donor can donate a kidney or part of a liver, lung, intestine, blood or bone marrow. Typically there is very little risk to a living donor.

Not all organ donations mean that the recipient will never need another organ. Not all organ donations last forever, which means some will seek another organ donation down the road.

Living donors go through extensive testing to be a donor, and unfortunately not everyone who is screened can be a donor. No hospital transplant team wants to put the donor or recipient in harm’s way. It can take four to six weeks to complete the necessary tests.

Please educate yourself and consider giving someone a chance. After all, who wouldn’t want a piece of you?

ANDY NEWMAN, CCL

More than half of about 770,000 soldiers are pessimistic about their future in the military and nearly as many are unhappy in their jobs, despite a six-year, $287 million campaign to make troops more resilient, findings obtained by USA TODAY show.

Twelve months of data through early 2015 show that 403,564 soldiers, or 52%, scored badly on optimism, agreeing with statements such as “I rarely count on good things happening to me.” Fortyeight percent have little job satisfaction or commitment.

The results stem from resiliency assessments soldiers must take every year. In 2014, for the first

time, the Army pulled data from those assessments to help commanders gauge their troops’ psychological and physical health.

The effort produced startlingly negative results. In addition to low optimism and job satisfaction, more than half reported poor nutrition and sleep.

The Army began a positive psychology program in 2009 in the midst of two wars and as suicide

and mental illness were on the rise. To measure resiliency the Army created a confidential, online annual questionnaire for all soldiers, including the National Guard and Reserve.

Last year, Army scientists applied formulas to gauge servicewide morale based on the assessments. The results show positive psychology “has not had much impact in terms of overall

health,” said David Rudd, president of the University of Memphis who served on a scientific panel critical of the program.

The Army offered contradictory responses to the findings obtained by USA TODAY. Sharyn Saunders, chief of the Army Resiliency Directorate that produced the data, initially disavowed the results. When USA TODAY provided supporting documents this week, her office acknowledged the data but said the formulas used to produce them were obsolete.

Following USA TODAY’s inquiry, the Army calculated new findings but lowered the threshold for a score to be positive. As a result, for example, only 9% scored poorly in optimism. The Army said the effort to use the questionnaire results to gauge morale Army-wide is experimental. “We continue to refine our methodologies,” it said in the statement. uEffort is controversial, 2B

Trespassing gyrocopter pilot emailed plan Marisol Bello and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Florida man who flew his gyrocopter through restricted airspace to land on the U.S. Capitol grounds told federal investigators he feared being “shot down” but took off anyway to call attention to campaign-finance policy, according to federal court documents.

Doug Hughes, 61, was charged

Thursday with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace restrictions.

He told authorities he sent an advance message of his flight plan to an email account he believed to be associated with President Obama “to avoid being shot down.”

The account, info@barackobama.com, belongs to Organizing for Action, an advocacy organization that grew out of the president’s former campaign.

Homeland Security Secretary

Jeh Johnson said the gyrocopter “apparently literally flew in under the radar” as the aircraft passed the Washington Monument and flew above the National Mall before landing on the West Lawn of the Capitol.

Johnson said it’s too soon to say whether the incident should prompt changes in security procedures. “I want to know all the facts before I reach an assessment of what can and should be done about gyrocopters in the future,” he said.

He defended procedures for dealing with the restricted airspace over Washington’s federal buildings and monuments.

“We’ve got a well-coordinated federal response to dealing with issues of those who penetrate the restricted airspace without permission,” he said.

The postal worker made his first court appearance Thursday, wearing a blue U.S. Postal Service jacket.

He was released on his own recognizance.

More teens toking from e-cigs, report shows Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

The percentage of teens using e-cigarettes tripled from 2013 to 2014, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Two million teens, about 13.4% of high school students, used ecigarettes in 2014, up from 4.5% in 2013 and 1.5% in 2011. Among middle schoolers, e-cigarette use rose from 1.1% in 2013 to 3.9% in 2014, representing about 450,000 students, the report says.

About one in four teens use tobacco in some form, from pipes to cigars to smokeless tobacco.

Among high school students, 9.4% use a hookah, a tobacco pipe with a long tube that draws smoke through water.

High schoolers use e-cigarettes and hookahs more than conventional tobacco cigarettes, the CDC says. Among high school students, 9.2% smoked cigarettes in 2014.

Though e-cigarettes don’t contain tobacco or create smoke, they usually contain addictive nicotine.

Nearly $300M effort to boost outlook has been controversial Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The Army’s six-year, nearly $300 million effort to use positive psychology to make soldiers more resilient after 14 years of war has been controversial since its inception in 2009.

A panel of scientists from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded last year that there is little or no evidence the program prevents mental illness.

The panel said there was no effort to test it before the Army embraced it, and it cited research arguing that the program could be harmful if it leaves soldiers with a false sense of resiliency.

The Army disputed the findings, pushing ahead with its program, which now costs more than $50 million a year. At least 2.45 million soldiers have taken a selfassessment test that is a crucial part of the resiliency training, and 28,000 GIs have been instructed on how to teach other

JUDICIAL PRECEDENT The first hurdle in the gaymarriage debate facing lower court judges has been what to make of a 1972 Supreme Court ruling that denied marriage rights to a gay couple in Minnesota. The one-line decision in Baker v. Nelson upheld the state’s ban on same-sex marriage “for want of a substantial federal question.”

Because of the wealth of judicial rulings that have come in the following four decades, most federal judges have reasoned that Baker does not tie their hands.

“Since Baker, the court has meaningfully altered the way it views both sex and sexual orientation through the equal protection lens,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled Virginia’s Bostic v. Schaefer.

In the case of Obergefell v.

Hodges before the Supreme Court, Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit differed with all the previous rulings. “This type of summary decision, it is true, does not bind the Supreme Court in later cases,” he wrote for his panel’s 2-1 majority. “But it does confine lower federal courts in later cases.”

2

STATES’ RIGHTS At the heart of the case is a tug of war between the 14th Amendment’s guarantees of due process and equal protection, and the rights of states and voters to make their own laws. A majority of federal district and appeals courts have said the Constitution is paramount and have ruled for gay and lesbian plaintiffs. The 6th Circuit disagreed.

“Not one of the plaintiffs’ theories ... makes the case for constitutionalizing the definition of marriage and for removing the issue from the place it has been since the founding: in the hands of state voters,” Sutton wrote.

Though the democratic process might be a worthy goal, other appeals courts to review samesex marriage bans have relegated it to secondary status compared with the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. They note the Supreme Court denied states the right to prevent mixed-race cou-

H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON

State bans on same-sex marriage have been justified based on judicial precedent, states’ rights, regulating procreation, optimal child-rearing and Richard centuries-old tradition. Those reasons Wolf have been loudly disputed.

USA TODAY When it convenes April 28 for one of the most historic oral arguments in its 226-year history, the Supreme Court will hear all those arguments from five lawyers representing gays and lesbians on one side, and the states of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee on the other. The justices will have read what dozens of federal trial and appeals court judges have written.

Here’s a look at five major arguments cited by those appeals court judges in their rulings. In addition to the four Midwest states whose bans were upheld, the circuit courts struck down similar bans in Idaho, Indiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

trending in the wrong direction.

Two-thirds were borderline or worse in “catastrophic thinking,” where poor scores mean a soldier has trouble adapting to change or dwells on the worst possible ples, prison inmates and people owing child support from marrying.

“The protection and exercise of fundamental rights are not matters for opinion polls or the ballot box,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit ruled in Kitchen v. Herbert.

REGULATING PROCREATION Why did states authorize and regulate marriages in the first place? Many say it was to channel men and women into matrimony so children would be raised by two parents. Since gays and lesbians cannot get pregnant by accident, the argument goes, they do not merit the same consideration.

“Governments got into the business of defining marriage, and remain in the business of defining marriage, not to regulate love but to regulate sex, most especially the intended and unintended effects of male-female intercourse,” Sutton wrote.

That argument has been ridiculed by other judges as a way to penalize same-sex couples for carefully considering whether to have children, while offering financial incentives to oppositesex couples for having children out of wedlock.

“Heterosexuals get drunk and pregnant, producing unwanted children; their reward is to be allowed to marry,” Judge Richard Posner wrote for a unanimous panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, which struck down bans in Indiana and Wisconsin. “Homosexual couples do not produce unwanted children; their reward is to be denied the right to marry. Go figure.”

RAISING CHILDREN Opponents of same-sex marriage argue that children should be raised with a mother and father. Proponents say evidence shows gays and lesbians do an equally good job.

No reputable studies have shown that same-sex parents do an inferior job raising children.

Briefs have been submitted to the Supreme Court on behalf of children arguing both sides of

IN BRIEF DEMOCRATS CRITICIZE HOUSE VOTE TO KILL ‘DEATH TAX’

The U.S. House voted 240-179 on Thursday to repeal the estate tax as part of a GOP legislative push this week timed to the height of tax season.

The legislation would fully repeal a tax Republicans have long dubbed the “death tax” to underscore their opposition to it. The current estate tax rates were set in 2013 as part of a budget agreement that as of 2015 applies only to estate transfers in excess of $5.4 million for individuals and $10.9 million for couples. Those estates can be subject to a 40% tax rate.

Only about 0.2% of American households are likely to be affected by the estate tax, which prompted Democrats to criticize the legislation as an unjustified boon to the wealthy at a cost of $269 billion to the deficit over the next decade.

Only 28% felt good about what they do. uAbout 300,000 soldiers, or nearly 40%, didn’t trust their immediate supervisor or fellow soldiers in their unit or didn’t feel respected or valued. Thirty-two percent felt good about bosses and peers. uIn one positive trend, more than 400,000 soldiers, 53%, were satisfied with their marriage, personal relationship or family.

About 240,000 were dissatisfied.

the question, but judges mostly have agreed that the results aren’t in.

“A state might wish to wait and see before changing a norm that our society (like all others) has accepted for centuries,” Sutton wrote.

The 10th Circuit majority reasoned that opposite-sex couples can be bad parents, too — making it wrong to discriminate against gays and lesbians only.

Similarly, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in cases from Idaho and Nevada that same-sex marriage bans penalized some potential parents while rewarding others who did not deserve it.

“A man and a woman who have been convicted of abusing their children are allowed to marry; same-sex partners who have been adjudicated to be fit parents in an adoption proceeding are not,” the unanimous panel said.

HISTORY, TRADITION In the legal profession, great weight is given to the argument: It has always been thus. That was a major reason the Supreme Court last year upheld an Upstate New York town’s practice of allowing mostly Christian clergy to deliver opening prayers at government meetings. Lawmakers had been praying, the justices noted, since the founding of the republic.

Thus did Sutton base part of his reasoning on tradition.

“From the founding of the republic to 2003, every state defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman,” he wrote.

Other appeals court judges reasoned that if history and tradition were a guide, the Supreme Court would not have reversed common practice in 1967 and struck down state bans on interracial marriage in the landmark case Loving v. Virginia.

“To claim that marriage, by definition, excludes certain couples is simply to insist that those couples may not marry because they have historically been denied the right to do so,” the 10th Circuit majority wrote in the Utah case.

Homegrown terrorism becoming bigger issue John Bacon USA TODAY

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Firefighters get treatment, mostly for dust in the eyes, from emergency personnel at a medical station at Stuyvesant High School, across from the World Trade Center, in 2001.

Ground Zero work took a toll on medical personnel Among issues: Acid reflux, asthma, depression Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Emergency medical service workers who went to Ground Zero after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001 have suffered from an usually high number of health problems, a new study shows.

Previous research has documented the health problems suffered by firefighters who worked at Ground Zero, but the new study is the first to examine the health consequences of the toxic dust and emotional stress on workers such as paramedics and emergency medical technicians.

Compared with emergency medical workers who didn’t serve at the World Trade Center, those

who responded on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, are seven times more likely to have had symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder since the attacks.

They are nearly four times as likely to have had acid reflux, almost four times as likely to have had inflammation of the nasal and sinus cavities, more than twice as likely to have had breathing disorders such as asthma or chronic bronchitis and twice as likely to have suffered depression, according to the study, led by the Fire Department of the City of New York’s Bureau of Health Services.

The most common problem was symptoms of depression, suffered by nearly 17% of the 2,281 medical service workers included in the study, which was published

online Wednesday in Occupational Safety & Medicine. The rate of PTSD symptoms was 7%. The the rate of symptoms of harmful alcohol use was 3%.

It’s easy to see why ambulance crews working at Ground Zero would suffer depression, given the carnage they witnessed, says Michael Crane, director of the World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

“This was an attack on the United States of America that is still impacting people 13 and 14 years later,” says Crane, who was not involved in the new study.

“The mental health impact was extraordinary and remains extraordinary.”

About 12% of emergency medical workers suffer from acid re-

flux or breathing problems such as asthma or chronic bronchitis, according to the study. That’s also not surprising, Crane says, because many workers breathed in or swallowed toxic dust and smoke from burning gasoline.

“Large numbers of toxins and carcinogens were found in that dust,” Crane says. “We’ll never know the total amount that people were exposed to because nobody stood there with a meter.

But we know the dust that settled to the earth was highly toxic.”

Previous studies have found even higher rates of medical problems among firefighters, who were exposed to more dust and toxins while digging through rubble, the study says. About 34% of firefighters developed nasal or sinus inflammation, 29% developed reflux, 25% breathing problems and 9.3% developed symptoms of harmful alcohol use.

An Ohio man is accused of training with Islamic militants abroad and returning to the USA in the hopes of carrying out a deadly assignment — the latest suspected terrorist wannabe to be nabbed by federal authorities.

Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud, 23, trained in Syria to handle weapons and explosives, engage in hand-to-hand combat and break into houses, a federal indictment says.

He was instructed by a cleric to return to the USA and commit an act of mass destruction, the indictment says.

Authorities say Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen, is one of several anti-American terrorist hopefuls who returned to the U.S. with a murderous mission. In the past year, dozens of Americans have sought to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury in Columbus, refers to several “private conversations” between Mohamud and his brother, Abdifatah Aden, that discuss Mohamud’s plans to join a terrorist group. His brother had joined Jabhat alNusra, which is linked to al-Qaeda, the indictment says.

“Identifying and neutralizing the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters who return to the United States is one of the National Security Division’s highest priorities,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin says in a statement.

Mohamud is the second Ohio man to be arrested this year in connection with a plot. Christopher Cornell, an alleged ISIL sympathizer from Green Township, was arrested after buying two rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Mohamud left the U.S. bound for Syria in April 2014, the indictment says. It says Mohamud wanted to kill Americans, particularly soldiers and police officers.

He apparently discussed plans to travel to a Texas military base and “kill three or four American soldiers execution style.”

Runners bolt past N. Korea travel warning 100 Americans compete in marathon

Calum MacLeod USA TODAY

BEIJING As many as 100 U.S. citizens defied a State Department travel warning and visited North Korea this month to compete in a marathon that celebrated the birthday of the isolated regime’s founder, Kim Il Sung.

The Americans left the capital of Pyongyang this week, praising the experience and the value of engaging with North Koreans, who live under a totalitarian system ruled for seven decades by Kim, his son and grandson.

The U.S. visitors, many whom live in Beijing and Asia, ran the marathon, half marathon and 10K races last Sunday, said Nicholas Bonner, co-founder of Koryo Tours, a Beijing-based travel agency that brought in nearly half of 600 foreign runners.

This was the second year North Korea permitted foreigners to take part in the Mangyongdae Prize Marathon, named after Kim’s birthplace. “This is the biggest ever total of U.S. visitors for one event,” Bonner said.

A quarter of North Korea’s estimated 5,000 to 6,000 Western tourists in 2013 were from the USA, according to Koryo Tours.

The U.S. State Department “strongly recommends against” traveling to North Korea, a repressive state where American citizens risk arbitrary arrest and detention. Last week, U.S. humanitarian worker Sandra Suh was deported from Pyongyang for “plot-breeding and propaganda,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said.

Last year, two other Ameri-

cans, Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller, were released after being imprisoned for months.

Bae, a Christian missionary who ran a tour company, was accused of crimes against the state. Miller was charged with espionage after he was accused of ripping up his tourist visa at Pyongyang’s airport and demanding asylum. Another American, Jeffrey Fowle, was detained last year after leaving a Bible at a club.

Patty Hunter, 45, of Linn, Mo., who now lives in Beijing, took that risk. She finished third in the half marathon, winning a spot on the podium before 40,000 spectators in Kim Il Sung stadium. “It was a cool experience and very well-orchestrated, as you’d expect,” said Hunter, the daughter of a Korean War veteran.

Three other Americans, friends who work for U.S. firms in Beijing that they declined to identify, called the visit a fascinating introduction to the hermit kingdom.

“What was fun was even the limited interaction that we were able to have with the people,” said Bruce Aitken, 45, from the Pacific Northwest. Photo restrictions are common in North Korea, but the guides said they could shoot from the tour bus, an unusual concession, said Mark Smerznak, 43, from Stratford, Conn.

Their tour focused on the Kim dynasty, now led by Kim Jong Un. Mike Keogh, 44, of New Orleans, said he enjoyed breaking the ice by giving candy to youngsters on the subway. One senior citizen, in his 60s, joked about being a runner, slapping Keogh’s thighs, until learning he was an American.

“We’re going to kill Obama,” Keogh said, quoting the man.

“America keeps nagging us,” Keogh said the man told him. Keogh guessed the man’s anger stemmed from The Interview, a comedy that depicts an assassination plot against Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures Entertainment, which released the film, was the target of a cyberattack the U.S. blamed on North Korea.

“The guide apologized,”Keogh said about the man’s comments.

“Otherwise we felt welcome.”

The head of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday the group will not allow Greece to delay payments it’s scheduled to make next month as part of its massive bailout.

“Payment delays have not been granted by the board of the IMF the last 30 years,” Managing Director Christine Lagarde said at a news conference during the IMFWorld Bank spring meetings here. “We have never had an advanced economy asking for a payment delay.”

She added that such a delay would be equivalent to a refinancing of the loan.

Greece’s borrowing costs soared Thursday as yields on its bonds climbed to their highest point since 2012, Bloomberg News reported.

Lagarde’s comments followed a Financial Times report Thursday that Greek officials had informally approached the IMF inquiring about agreeing to a delay in its WASHINGTON

IMF chief Christine Lagarde advised Greece to “get on with (its) work.”

payments. If it misses its payments, Greece would effectively default.

Greece owes its creditors — the IMF, the European Central Bank and the European Commission — about 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) next month. The debt-racked country is struggling to scrape together the cash. It made a 460 million euro payment ($493.4 million) in April.

Greece is also trying to unlock 7.2 billion in euros ($7.6 billion) in additional bailout money, but negotiations with its creditors over easing the changes it must

implement to receive the cash are at a standstill.

Greece is struggling to make the changes — including increasing taxes, cutting government spending and restructuring pensions — with its economy flailing.

“My advice” to Greece “has not changed,” Lagarde said. “My advice is to get on with the work” of the overhaul.

Greece’s finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, is likely to meet with IMF officials and representatives of other creditors during the World Bank-IMF spring meetings this week.

TRADE PACT GETS A BOOST

Top lawmakers reach deal on ‘fast track’ Susan Davis @DaviSusan USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Top lawmakers reached a deal Thursday on legislation to grant President Obama “fast track” trade authority to advance one of the largest trade pacts in history, a step that could set off one of the sharpest legislative battles of the year and put Democratic unity to the test.

The bill is a top priority for the administration and congressional Republicans, but the fast track bill and the underlying TransPacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal between the U.S. and 11 AsiaPacific nations, is roundly opposed by major labor unions and most congressional Democrats.

Senate Finance Committee leaders Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., along with House Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., announced the deal in a statement.

“This is a smart, bipartisan compromise that will help move America forward,” Hatch said.

In a statement, Obama said he would seek a trade pact that benefited American workers and that the U.S. needed to engage on trade in the face of fast-growing Asian economies.

“It’s no secret that past trade deals haven’t always lived up to their promise, and that’s why I will only sign my name to an agreement that USA TODAY helps ordinary Sen. Ron Wyden, Americans get D-Ore. ahead,” he said.

“At the same time, at a moment when 95% of our potential customers live outside our borders, we must make sure that we, and not countries like China, are writing the rules for the global economy.”

Democrats face tremendous pressure from labor unions and party activists to oppose the agreement.

“For decades, we’ve seen how fast-tracked trade deals devastated our communities through lost jobs and eroded public services,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who opposes the legislation. “We can’t afford another bad deal that lowers wages and outsources jobs.”

If enacted, TPP would affect nearly 1 billion people around the globe, two-thirds of global gross domestic product, and 65% of global trade.

Wyden has been under political pressure to oppose fast track.

Democratic activists have said they would seek a primary challenger against him next year on the issue of trade alone. Jim Dean, chairman of the liberal advocacy group Democracy for America, said there is “simply no excuse for any Democrat who votes for fast track.” He said the vote would be as politically significant as the vote to authorize the Iraq War and “will never be forgotten and will haunt members of Congress for years to come.”

In a statement, Wyden touted terms secured in the agreement that he said will promote human rights, labor conditions and free speech. “Opening foreign markets, where most of the world’s consumers reside, is critical to creating new opportunities for middle-class American jobs,” Wyden said.

Trade promotion authority, commonly know as fast track, is a process that enhances the president’s authority to negotiate trade pacts that Congress can only approve or defeat — and not amend — by a simple majority vote. TPA expired for new trade agreements in 2007. The administration has said without it they are unlikely to reach a deal on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

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

The earnings season has not sent the stock market into a tailspin, at least not yet. And recent commentary from Federal Reserve officials suggests that the first-quarter soft patch may push feared interest rate hikes back to later in the year. Add to that a sign of investor risk appetite, witnessed by a trio of successful initial public offerings Thursday by online arts-and-crafts seller Etsy, whose shares surged 88%, party store Party City, up 22%, and Virtu Financial, which rose 17%.

Now, investors will keep watching the earnings roll in, incoming economic data and how consumers are feeling about the future to get a sense of whether stocks can continue to rally and

The quarterly parade of earnings continues Friday with General Electric reporting its results, just days after announcing it was selling the bulk of its financial-related businesses. At the start of the week, analysts saw GE posting quarterly earnings of 30 cents a share vs. a year ago.

Wall Street also gets a fresh reading on price inflation at the consumer level when the March consumer price index, or CPI, is released at 8:30 a.m. ET. The Fed has been waiting for inflation to move back up closer to its 2% mandate, before beginning its rate hike lift-off.

The release of the University of Michigan’s preliminary April consumer sentiment report should give investors an idea how confident Main Street is after another brutal winter.

Netflix investors getting a taste of sweet success Q: How high can Netflix stock go?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Netflix’s first-quarter earnings silenced the critics thinking the stock price should be lower. The question now is how much higher the stock price can go.

Investors got a taste of how quickly the video-streaming service’s shares can soar. The first day of trading following the company’s first-quarter results, Netflix stock jumped $86.49, or 18%, to $562.05. That rally took Netflix’s stock to a new all-time high.

The company’s adjusted profit of 77 cents a share topped estimates calling for a profit of 63 cents by the same measure, says S&P Capital IQ. That incredible one-day rally, though, has already pushed the stock to where bullish investors said it’s worth.

In a prescient call, research and investment firm UBS on Monday said Netflix was worth $565 a share. That was 17% higher than the stock was at the time. But now the stock is already there.

Wall Street analysts, as a group, are racing to increase price targets.

Still, the average 18-month price target on the stock is $547.05, says S&P Capital IQ. Some targets are higher. William Power of Robert W. Baird on Thursday took his price target to $610 a share.

Much hinges on whether Netflix has more huge earnings surprises coming that catch everyone off guard again.

McDonald’s franchisees not lovin’ outlook under new CEO Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY

McDonald’s is breaking the kind of records it probably doesn’t want to break.

Even as its domestic sales have headed south, the six-month business outlook of its franchisees has fallen to a historic low — the worst in the 11-year history of a quarterly survey of store owneroperators by Janney Capital Markets. Store operators say their strained relationship with McDonald’s corporate executives are the worst in the survey’s history.

2010 PHOTO BY PENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES

A survey of 32 franchisees showed their six-month outlook averaged a weak 1.81 on a scale of 1 to 5.

Even more concerning: The anonymous survey of 32 operators who own 215 restaurants took place in early April — more than one month after Steve Easterbrook stepped in as CEO. So the concerns are with the new leadership — not with the old. The survey results come days before McDonald’s is scheduled to release its first-quarter 2015 earnings and March sales report April 22. Analysts do not expect positive results.

“The system is broken,” one franchisee said in the survey comments collected by analyst Mark Kalinowski. “There is no

leadership, no plan, no respect for operators.”

Another said, “Relations between McDonald’s corporations and operators are the worst I have even seen.”

McDonald’s questions the survey results and notes they are based on a tiny sample. “Approximately 3,100 franchisees own and operate McDonald’s restaurants across the U.S. Less than 1% of them were surveyed for this report. We value the feedback from our franchisees and have a solid working relationship with them,” the company said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY.

In a note to investors, Kalinowski said McDonald’s U.S. competitive set is changing — for the worse: “Keep an especially close eye on fast-rising, privately held Chick-fil-A.” The report criticizes the “bloated menu” at McDonald’s — which it says slows down drive-thru service times.

Franchisees question the prospects for a turnaround any time soon. On a scale of 1 to 5 — 1 ranking “poor” and 5 ranking “excellent” — the six-month outlook averaged 1.81, the worst in the survey’s history. Not one franchisee surveyed said the six-month outlook was “excellent.”

New ‘Star Wars’ trailer feels like we’re home ‘Force Awakens’ teases fans old and new alike A wrecked Star Destroyer. A close-up on a TIE fighter pilot.

Stormtroopers in formation.

Lightsabers and droids aplenty.

But Harrison Ford’s Han Solo says it best in the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens: “Chewie, we’re home.”

Director J.J. Abrams, actors from NEWS & VIEWS George Lucas’ origiBRIAN nal movie trilogy and TRUITT cast newcomers were on hand Thursday at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, Calif., to reveal the teaser for the new Star Wars film that arrives in theaters Dec. 18.

Moreso than the first glimpse of Force Awakens unveiled last November, the new footage strongly connects 1983’s Return of the Jedi with the latest film, which takes place some decades later. Familiar characters, human and robotic alike, that Generation X grew up watching share screen time with the current trio of cosmic heroes acting as a Han, Luke and Leia for the Millennials.

The trailer begins with a voiceover from Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), who intones that his family is strong in the Force — a theme from the original trilogy, as well as the prequels that track the backstory of dad Anakin Skywalker and his journey to the dark side of the Force as Darth Vader. (There’s even a glimpse at Vader’s burned helmet.)

STARWARS.COM

Chewbacca and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) make an appearance in the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The familiar sights of X-Wing fighters (Oscar Isaac’s new pilot Poe Dameron zooms around and gives a quick “Woo-hoo!”), TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon are seen around various planets, and although fans still don’t get much of a sense of plot, they do see Finn, John Boyega’s Stormtrooper character, getting a hand from Rey, a scavenger played by Daisy Ridley from the new desert world of Jakku.

Vader might not be around anymore, yet the Empire, taken down at the end of Return of the Jedi, seems to be strong decades after its fall.

The trailer leaves many questions for the faithful: Who’s the next Force-filled Skywalker hinted at by Luke? Is new lightsaberwielding baddie Kylo Ren the

newest Sith lord, following Darths Maul, Sidious and Vader?

And will roly-poly droid BB-8 be as popular as old stalwart C-3PO (all signs point to yes)?

The prequels and their characters — we’re looking at you, Jar Jar Binks — tested the patience of some hardcore fans who grew up with the original Star Wars movies, action figures and bedsheets. Yet even the most jaded viewer, long weary of the Jedi knights and John Williams theme music, had goosebumps seeing Ford with that familiar Solo smirk and hearing Peter Mayhew roar again in Chewbacca fur.

It’s not just the Skywalkers who are strong in the Force.

Abrams definitely is, too, taking the reins from Lucas as the new Jedi master of the franchise.

Mortgage rates rising, but still near historic lows The AssociATed Press WASHINGTON — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose slightly this week but remained close to historically low levels with the spring home-buying season underway.

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said Thursday the national average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage edged up to 3.67 percent from 3.66 percent last week.

The average rate for a 15year mortgage, popular with homeowners who refinance, rose to 2.94 percent from 2.93 percent last week.

A year ago, the average 30-year mortgage rate was 4.27 percent and the 15-year rate was 3.33 percent.

The 30-year average rate reached a record low of 3.35 percent in November and December 2012, when the 15-year rate hit a recordlow 2.66 percent.

Mortgage rates have remained

Offered by: David Harper 785.979.0288

low even though the Federal Reserve last October ended its monthly bond purchases, designed to hold down long-term rates. The Fed signaled recently that it’s still not ready to start raising shortterm rates, after keeping them near zero for more than six years.

Government data issued Thursday showed that U.S. homebuilders opened the homebuying season in March at a slower pace than last year, a warning that recent hiring gains have failed to translate into a stronger real estate market.

Construction firms broke ground at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 926,000 homes last month, a 2.5 percent decline from the pace in March 2014, the Commerce Department reported.

Steady job growth, low mortgage rates and cheaper gasoline have given consumers more flexibility.

But the improved economy has

yet to significantly boost sales and construction, even as economists say that the gains should soon flow into housing.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country at the beginning of each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates.

One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for a 30-year mortgage rose to 0.7 point from 0.6 point last week. The fee for a 15-year mortgage fell to 0.5 point from 0.6 point.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage increased to 2.88 percent from 2.83 percent.

The fee was unchanged at 0.5 point.

For a one-year ARM, the average rate remained at 2.46 percent. The fee stayed at 0.4 point.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Son’s girlfriend gets jealous of family friend Dear Annie: Twelve years ago, my son moved his girlfriend into our home. “Lena” lived with us for four years, and we treated her like family. They broke up, and Lena moved out. She then married someone else and now has an adorable 6-year-old daughter. We have remained such good friends with her that my husband walked her down the aisle at her wedding.

My son is now 30 and has never married. Unfortunately, his current girlfriend is demanding that we sever all ties with Lena, and she is causing problems for us with our son. We have tried to reassure them both that the old flame is no threat to their new romance, but it hasn’t helped.

We live in a very small town where ev-

eryone knows each other. Is it fair for us to be treated this way? — Mom Dear Mom: Of course not, but that doesn’t solve the problem. The new girlfriend is terribly insecure and needs to control everyone around her, including you. She doesn’t realize how her attitude damages her relationship with you. Your son permits this because he wants to keep seeing her, and as long as

Did CW kill ‘The Messengers’?

Mystical malarkey and fringe theology meet comic book plotting in the new series “The Messengers” (8 p.m., CW). A meteorite strike sends some kind of very selective cosmic pulse that affects five strangers in a similar fashion. They’re stopped dead in their tracks; their pupils widen to Keane-like painting proportions and then they die, only to awaken a minute later feeling a tad changed by the experience.

Stranger still, seen from certain angles, these chosen victims — or perhaps survivors — seem to be sporting diaphanous wings. It’s similar to a commercial for Disney Resorts that shows every check-in clerk sprouting Tinker Bell wings for the young and young-at-heart clientele. But I digress.

Over the course of “The Messengers” we’ll discover how this bunch — a harried mom, troubled teen, astrophysicist, undercover FBI agent and youthful televangelist — adjust to their new plight and what they make of their relationship to the stranger, known only as The Man (Diogo Morgado), who arrived with the meteorite.

It’s not clear at first if The Man is sent from heaven or hell. But he’s got a list of chores for our chosen few.

Competently made and acted, “The Messengers” has a story better suited to a film with a beginning, middle and an end (of the world) than an ongoing series. But most series that debut in mid-April on a Friday night are not long for this world.

The “Voces” (9 p.m., PBS) presentation “Children of Giant” recalls the making of the 1956 film, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean, from the perspective of the Latino residents of Marfa, Texas.

Tonight’s other highlights

An investigation treads on sacred ground on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

Cameron Diaz stars in the 2011 comedy “Bad Teacher” (7 p.m., Fox).

“Bitten” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., Syfy) enters its second season.

The pitches take on a green hue on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

Danny’s temper flares on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Clarke Peters is 63. Actor Sean Bean is 56. Actor Joel Murray is 53. Actress Leslie Bega is 48. Singer Liz Phair is 48. Actress Rooney Mara is 30.

he does so, you will need to limit your contact with Lena in order to have a relationship with your son. We only hope he doesn’t marry this girl. She sounds like a major headache.

Dear Annie: My husband is a girl watcher. I find it very hurtful that I can’t keep his attention. He is constantly looking around, and when he zeroes in on some young blonde with a great figure, he repeatedly stares at her.

I have confronted him a few times about this habit, and he denies that he is doing it. Am I being irrationally jealous? Do I need to just get over it? Everything else at home seems fine. — Want Him To Look Only at Me Dear Want: Your husband’s behavior is boorish, but not threatening. Most guys look.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, April 17: This year you decide to revive an area of your life, or perhaps you develop a new interest. Your creativity emerges and draws many people toward you. If you are single, you could meet someone very special in the next few months. If you are attached, the two of you love spending more time together.

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) Your efforts will come back in multiples. Don’t lose your temper so quickly. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Remain sure of yourself.

You might not like what is happening with a situation. Tonight: Vanish.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) When an associate notices how tense you are, he or she will try to alleviate the stress.

Tonight: Only where the crowds are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might not be up for taking on more responsibility, but you won’t seem to have a choice.

Tonight: Avoid a power play at all costs.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your perspective will change if you detach. Your positive approach will get warm results. Tonight: Take off ASAP.

The problem is, he is so blatant about it that it becomes disrespectful to you. If he truly does not realize he is doing this, you need to call his attention to it.

Behavior modification can work. Smile and say calmly, “I see you’re checking out the blonde at that table. She is pretty. But you are a bit obvious when you keep staring.” He may deny it, but because he knows you can tell, he should be more willing to admit that his technique needs work.

It is important not to become angry or annoyed. Your goal is to get him to notice his own behavior enough to control it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll feel good in the company of a dear friend with whom you can be totally open.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might have no choice but to defer to others, especially as they seem determined to have control. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself and take a break. One-on-one relating will bring out the affection of an admirer. Tonight: Accept someone’s offer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your naturally fiery personality might emerge when dealing with a new friend. Tonight: Avoid taking any risks right now.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will have to come to terms with a loved one’s choices. Understand that you can’t change his or her mind. Tonight: Head home early.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might wonder about the best way to proceed with a personal matter. Tonight: Favorite place, favorite person.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You tend to get into the moment, and it is then that your boundaries melt away. Tonight: Keep to your budget.

KANSAS RELAYS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Downtown event made for Hoffa Just about everything in life has a face. Here, Bill Self is the face of basketball, Jim Ryun the face of the mile, Mike Amyx, barber shears in hand, the face of Lawrence politics.

The fifth-annual Downtown Lawrence Shot Put, Hoffa scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. today on Eighth Street, between Mass and New Hampshire, has a face, all right. What it does not have is a two-time winner, a fact that startles many who hear that for the first time.

Reese Hoffa has been the face of the event since he first stepped foot in the circle that then was plywood and now is concrete, an upgrade much appreciated by the competitors. He has Please see KEEGAN, page 4C

Relays schedule changed J-W Staff Reports

Saturday’s portion of the 2015 Kansas Relays has been canceled because of severe weather expected to hit Lawrence, KU officials announced Thursday.

Thus, all the events will be crammed into a busy day of track and field from 8 a.m. until about midnight tonight at Rock Chalk Park. The downtown shot put event is still slated for 6 p.m., today on Eighth Street, between Mass and New Hampshire.

The revised schedule is available at http://ljw. bz/1b2uVoY “Our main goal is to make sure everyone — high school and collegiate athletes — has an opportunity to compete this weekend,” said meet director Milan Donley.

“Looking at the Saturday forecast, there is a high probability that many of the athletes would not have been able to participate. We feel that by moving events to Friday, we have a much better chance of achieving that goal.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S LINDSAY VOLLMER CONCENTRATES AS SHE heads down the runway while competing in the javelin event of the heptathlon during the Kansas Relays on Thursday at Rock Chalk Park.

Vollmer sets Relays mark in heptathlon

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Lindsay Vollmer had just set a Kansas Relays record Thursday at Rock Chalk Park, with her heptathlonwinning score of 5,767 points.

Instead of basking in the victory or pondering her place in Kansas University history, though, the senior’s mind entered an inner-debate.

Part of her wanted an ice

bath. Or maybe a nap. But after back-to-back days of intense competition, and winning six of the seven heptathlon events, the part of Vollmer that wanted to devour Chinese food won out.

“The meet, it’s pretty stressful and nerve-wracking,” Vollmer said after becoming the first KU athlete to win the heptathlon since Candace Mason in 1997. “You

It took until the final event of the two-day trial for Vollmer’s body to finally show any signs of fatigue.

After winning the long jump (19-11) and javelin (139-8) on the second day of the heptathlon, she finished eighth in the 800 (2:26.34) — six spots

behind her KU teammate, sophomore Talia Marquez (2:16.57).

“It’s kind of weird, because you feel so tired up until the last event,” said Vollmer, whose point total ranks third all-time in Kansas history, “and then when you’re done it’s like you almost get this other burst of energy.”

Kansas QBs Cozart, Cummings relishing competition, fresh start

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACKS Michael Cummings, left, and Montell Cozart listen as they receive direction from offensive coordinator Rob Likens during spring practice on March 24.

Ask Michael Cummings and Montell Cozart what it will take to win the job as Kansas University’s starting quarterback for the 2015 season and one theme comes pouring out of both players’ mouths.

“Just being consistent,” Cozart said Wednesday during the spring’s first meeting between KU football players and the media. “Continue to grow as a person and a player and just go out there every day, be more consistent and trust the guys around me and let them know that

I want to be the guy for this team.”

Cummings, a senior who replaced Cozart, a junior, as the Jayhawks’ starter during Week 6 of the 2014 season, took a more diplomatic approach to answering that question but hinted at consistency as the biggest key.

“You’ll have to ask coach (David) Beaty that,” he said with a grin. “But I’m focusing on one thing a day, trying to get better at one thing every day. Little things add up to the big picture.”

Playing in their fourth offense in the past three seasons, both KU QBs seem to have the right attitude. And thanks largely to their past

experiences and failures, both understand that as much as the X’s and O’s may have changed and the faces coaching them look different, the objective remains the same.

That’s a point that’s been easier to digest because this spring marks the third time Cozart and Cummings have been a part of the same quarterback battle.

“I wouldn’t say it changed,” said Cummings of competing with Cozart. “It’s more of the same. The best player will be out there on Saturdays.”

New Orleans (ap) — It takes a certain self-confidence for a college freshman to embrace a potentially pejorative nickname like “The Unibrow.”

Perhaps that was an early sign that Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, who led Kentucky to a national title in 2012, had not just the talent, but also the intangibles to lift a sinking NBA franchise back to playoff contention.

Three years into his pro career, the jovial, easygoing 22-year-old with one long eyebrow is emerging as one of the league’s brightest young stars — if not the brightest.

Now he’ll get to display all that talent on the NBA’s big stage.

New Orleans’ rising star will make his playoff debut against league-best Golden State on Saturday, with a lot of eyes on him.

“I’m just proud of these guys, proud of our coaching staff,” Davis said, sharing credit after his 31 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks and two steals led New Orleans to a playoff-clinching victory over defending champion San Antonio.

“We made it — made the playoffs, reached our goal,” Davis added. “But it’s not over.”

Davis is already a team leader and two-time All-Star who seems destined for playoff success at some point, even if it doesn’t come this year against the top-seeded Warriors.

Golden State took three of four games from New Orleans this season and finished with the best record in the league by seven victories.

When Pelicans coach Monty Williams reflects on his approach to developing Davis’ game, he mentions advice he received from his mentor, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

“Pop taught me something a long time ago: You don’t want to mess it up. When you have a player like A.D., you want to make sure you give him a chance to be great,” Williams said. “That’s what we’ve tried to do here.”

With New Orleans, Davis has been allowed to explore the bounds of his talent and expand his game.

Suit filed against Winston Tallahassee, Fla. — A former Florida State University student has filed a lawsuit against Jameis Winston accusing the NFL prospect of sexually assaulting her in 2012.

Erica Kinsman filed the lawsuit Thursday in Orange County. Winston, a former Seminoles quarterback, is projected to be a top pick in the this month’s NFL draft.

John Clune, a lawyer for Kinsman, said in a statement there are consequences for Winston’s behavior “and since others have refused to hold him accountable, our client will.”

Kinsman eventually left school after the investigation against Winston was reported. Winston was not charged in 2013 and was cleared by the university following a two-day student conduct hearing.

The AP generally does not routinely identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault. However, Kinsman has told her story publicly in a documentary.

Hawks hero back to bench

Nashville, Tenn. — Twelve hours after Joel Quenneville described Scott Darling’s effort during Game 1 of the Blackhawks’ thrilling 4-3 double-overtime victory over the Predators as “one of the greatest relief performances you’re going to see,” the coach said Darling will be back on the bench for Game 2.

Corey Crawford, who was yanked from Wednesday night’s game at Bridgestone Arena after yielding three first-period goals, will get the start in Game 2 tonight in Nashville.

“This one was easy,” Quenneville said of the decision to stick with his top regular-season goalie. “He’s our starting goalie. … It was kind of a no-brainer. It was probably a tougher situation to pull him out (Wednesday night).

He’s been our strength all year long. It was one period.”

Greene undergoes hip surgery

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jeffrey Greene noticed some signs that his son, Kansas University sophomore Brannen Greene, was hurting a bit more than the 6-foot-7 guard admitted to late last season.

To former Pittsburg State standout Jeffrey, his son’s shooting form looked flawed during a slump that lasted from mid-February through the rest of the 2014-15 campaign. Dad also noticed Brannen walked with the slightest limp and sometimes got up slowly after sitting in a chair for an extended period of time.

When asked about possible discomfort, the most Brannen would tell his family, teammates and coaches is he “may have tweaked something” at practice or in a game.

Finally ...

“He came home two

weeks ago and he yelled getting out of a chair and had trouble walking,” Jeffrey Greene said Thursday. “I said, ‘What in the heck is w r o n g with you?’

He said, ‘I got hit in the game, hit in practice and my hip has Greene not been the same.’

He started explaining, ‘I can’t catch off the right side. I can’t push off the right leg.’ He had torn something.

“It’s fixed now,” Jeffrey added emphatically, speaking at noon Thursday from Nashville (Tennessee) Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center where Brannen had just undergone three-hour surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip.

Brannen should be able

to return to the court in about five months.

“He will be in a state of limited physical activity the next two months and on crutches, and after that start physical activity. In four months he will be back 110 percent pain free,” Jeffrey Greene said.

The surgery was performed by Tennessee Titans team doctor J.W. Thomas Byrd, who has authored several textbooks on hip arthroscopy.

“The rehab will be somewhat significant because he’ll be on crutches for eight weeks and probably not return to the basketball court for approximately five months,” KU coach Bill Self said, explaining, “Brannen, his father and Bill Cowgill (KU associate director of sports medicine) traveled to Nashville this week to have hip surgery performed by Dr. Byrd, one of the most experienced hip surgeons in the United States. Surgery went very

well. Everything went as planned. It should not impact practice as he should be full speed by the time we start practicing,” Self added.

Jeffrey explained the injury: “He had a torn labrum he did in early February that he didn’t tell anybody about. The inflammation was the pain he was feeling. It continued to swell and swell.

“Genetically when you are 7 years old you start to form that ball socket.

The ball socket was a tiny bit bigger than they felt it should be, so they shaved it down a bit. He had no bone spurs.”

Jeff Greene said Brannen didn’t want anything to keep him off the court.

“I noticed he wasn’t getting any lift on his shot. It was flatter than normal at times. It wasn’t the same repeating motion,” Jeff said. “After a few games I was saying to him, ‘Why is your shot different? It’s a different shot than the one

that got us here.’ He was trying to keep his condition from everybody, me, the staff, the trainers. He was saying, ‘I just need to stretch out a little more.’

He didn’t want us to know he was injured other than, ‘I think I tweaked something.’

“I said, ‘This happened right before the (shooting) slump didn’t it (mid February)?’ He said he hurt it then but it wasn’t as painful but keeps getting worse. So it’s been taken care of.”

Brannen addressed his fans on Twitter on Thursday.

“Thank you guys for all the well wishes. Just a bump in the road. Can’t wait to get back on the court with my brothers!” he wrote. l Ellis honored: KU junior Perry Ellis has been named 2014-15 Big 12 men’s basketball scholarathlete of the year, the league announced Thurs-

day. Ellis is a two-time Academic all-Big 12 pick with a 3.25 grade-point average in sport management. l This, that: Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-foot senior center from Gorman High in Las Vegas, on Thursday committed to UNLV on Twitter. He chose the Rebels over KU and others. ... Zimmerman, KU recruiting targets Jaylen Brown, Cheick Diallo and Malik Newman will play in the Jordan Brand Classic at 7 tonight in New York. It will be shown on ESPN2. ... KU is reportedly looking at Ty Outlaw, a 6-6 sophomore guard from Lee (Texas) Junior College, who averaged 23.4 ppg and 5.5 rpg last season, according to jucorecruiting.com. He hit 55 percent of his shots. He’s visiting Virginia Tech this weekend and considering Arkansas, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Oregon and Missouri.

Late goal dooms Free State soccer, 2-1

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

FREE STATE’S HANNAH REUSSNER outjumps Olathe Northwest’s Sophia Latorella (7) during Thursday night’s match at FSHS.

For 79 minutes and 59 seconds, Free State High’s girls soccer team led or was tied with Olathe Northwest, but the last second of Thursday’s match doomed the Firebirds.

Olathe Northwest sophomore Savannah Moxley scored with one second left to give the Ravens a 2-1 win over the Firebirds as ONW capitalized on a free kick.

“We have to go back to the tape to see how we didn’t defend properly, but it’s one of the things where the ball can

bounce here or there and we could be talking about a different result,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said.

The Firebirds were on their heals for a majority of the match, despite taking an early lead. ONW outshot FSHS, 25-2, but Free State goalkeeper Mika Schrader was able to save nine of the Ravens’ 11 shots that were on target.

Free State got on the board first with a breakaway goal from sophomore Sabrea Platz in the seventh minute. The forward credited the Firebirds crisp ball movement for setting her up with the goal.

Lions rally but fall to O-South

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s baseball players don’t celebrate moral victories. But they were proud of what they accomplished on Thursday.

The Lions trailed by five runs against Olathe South in the second inning and slowly chipped away. Down to their final out, they scored three runs to tie the score and send the game into extras before losing, 10-9, in eight innings at LHS. Trailing 8-5 with two outs and one runner on base in the bottom of the seventh, senior shortstop Michael Sinks drilled a ground-rule double to the left-center gap to score junior Daonte Lowery.

Next up was senior Zak McAlister, who was previously 0-for-3 with two groundouts and a strikeout.

McAlister was just looking for anything to hit after watching the first pitch paint the outside corner for a strike. Once he saw a fastball down the middle, he smashed a game-tying two-run home run over the leftfield fence into the netting which protects the cars in the parking lot.

“Honestly, that was probably my favorite sports moment,” McAlister said. “It was really exciting.”

Sinks added: “It couldn’t have happened to a better guy. He’s always working his butt off.”

In the eighth inning, the Falcons (6-5) scored two runs when junior

LAWRENCE HIGH’S MICHAEL SINKS (14) is congratulated by teammates after scoring the Lions’ first run Thursday night at LHS. catcher Carson Green hit a ball down the third base line with the bases loaded and it bounced off of a glove into foul territory. The Lions picked up a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning, but couldn’t rally once more.

“In a way, it was good that we finally fought a whole game,” McAlister said. “But losing in the end is losing. We’ll come back tomorrow and keep working.”

The Falcons drilled the ball in the first few innings against LHS starter Nick Haynes, who left a few pitches up in the strike zone, including a two-run home run from junior Brian Sullivan in the first inning.

“That’s probably one of the more physical offensive teams in our conference,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “It was like (boxer Manny) Pacquiao and (Floyd) Mayweather, or actually probably what it would feel like to fight both those guys.

They just came out and squared us up often.”

The Lions started cutting into their deficit in the second inning when sophomore first baseman Jacob Unruh hit a RBI double, scoring Sinks. In the third inning, Sinks hit a two-run double to center field, scoring Lowery and senior Nate Hulse.

Lowery pitched four innings in relief, allowing just one earned run.

“I was trying to do too much at the beginning of the year,” said Sinks, who went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. “My coaches, family, friends and everybody told me that but I wasn’t really noticing it. Once I started swinging a little bit easier and just trying to have fun and play the game, everything started falling into place.”

In the fourth inning, Olathe South nearly added to its lead, but McAlister ran down a double in the left-center gap and tossed a relay throw to Sinks, who fired to the plate, and junior catcher

good passes in the center and Lindsey (Wethington) sent me through,” Platz said. “I got really lucky with the amount of cohesion that we played with. It was really good.”

FSHS was able to hold on to that 1-0 advantage until the Ravens tied it up with 9:09 to play. ONW junior Emily Kemp got an open look at the net and got the ball past the outstretched arm of Schrader.

The Firebirds (3-3) appeared to have still done enough to force overtime, but the multitude of ONW scoring chances caught up with Free State.

“I think we were all just

really exhausted,” sophomore Molly Bryant said.

Despite the heartbreaking loss, Platz believes the young FSHS team can learn from Thursday’s setback.

“Here at Free State, we keep our heads up,” Platz said. “Even in the tough times, we know that we are going to be a family together. We just have to move on and practice (today) and Saturday.

We’ve just got to move forward and know that we’re going to do better next game.”

Free State will try to bounce back at 7 p.m.

Tuesday at Shawnee Mission Northwest.

BRIEFLY FSHS baseball romps, 19-0 Overland Park — Free State High’s baseball team scored in every inning en route to a 19-0 victory Thursday over Shawnee Mission North.

KANSAS CITY’S LORENZO CAIN (6) AND MIKE MOUSTAKAS (8) celebrate Cain’s two-run home run against Minnesota on Thursday in Minneapolis.

Royals tumble to Twins ————

K.C. drops second straight after 7-0 start Minneapolis (ap) — The Kansas City Royals rolled into Target Field looking every bit the team that went to the World Series last season.

The pendulum swung back the other way in the series finale with a mistake-filled performance all over the diamond.

Jason Vargas was roughed up, the bullpen was tagged for its first three runs of the season, and the typically sparkling defense was sloppy in an 8-5 loss to the Twins on Thursday.

Vargas (1-1) allowed five runs, four earned, on 10 hits, including a long two-run homer to Kennys Vargas in the second inning. He left with the bases loaded and nobody out in the fourth inning, and the Royals (7-2) dropped two of three for their first series loss of the season.

“I felt like for the most part I was executing pitches,” Vargas said.

“Even that pitch on the home run, you have to tip your cap. You miss inside and he’s still able to turn on it and keep it fair. After that they were just able to bleed us out and keep pressure on, keep putting singles on the board. We just weren’t able to stop the bleeding.”

Jason Frasor bailed Jason Vargas out of the jam in the fourth with a line out to third base and a 1-23 double play. But Chris Young yielded a two-run shot to Kurt Suzuki in the eighth and Ryan Madson

allowed a run that put the Twins up 8-3 lead.

Tommy Milone (20) picked up his second straight victory for the Twins, recovering from a rough start to allow seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings. The Twins dropped five of their first

guys responsible for deciding KU’s quarterback race, which figures to include a late push from incoming freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis. And Likens joked Wednesday that making the call could be tougher than usual because Cozart and Cummings are so different.

“I only have one child, so I wouldn’t know this,” Likens said. “But I hear you could have two kids, you love ’em both the same but they’re completely different, their attitudes and all that stuff.

At the quarterback position, the No. 1 thing at the end of the day is did you manage the game well?

You could have 10 great plays and you throw one pick-six for a touchdown and you lost the game.”

During KU’s past three seasons, three different KU quarterbacks who killed it in practice while wearing red, no-contact jerseys, were pegged as the best man for the job, and in each of those seasons the starter wound up being replaced. Cozart was on both sides of the coin — replacing Jake Heaps in 2013 and starting in 2014 — and Cummings was the reliever of choice in 2012 and 2014.

Hoping to avoid that mistake this time around,

major from Hamilton, Missouri, the 5-foot-10 senior needed that second wind of sorts to propel her, after a celebratory lunch, back to KU’s campus.

“Well, all right. I’m done,” Vollmer said of the strange feeling of breaking records out at Rock Chalk Park while the vast majority of the KU student body plugged away through a typical Thursday. “I have to go to class now.”

Asked if she felt tempted to use her accomplishment as a reason to skip out on responsibilities on a beautiful spring day, Vollmer said she had assignments to turn in, and there are so many week-

At right, Vollmer eyes the sand pit as she makes an attempt in the long jump. ends when track athletes miss classes it was in her best interest to return to her normal school-day routine.

“It’s really easy to get behind,” she said of the student-athlete grind.

Likens said the KU quarterbacks participated in a live scrimmage during a recent practice.

“I gotta know that,” Likens said. “We gotta see how they function when they know they can get hit.”

There remains a long way to go in this competition, and Beaty has said he’s in no hurry to pick a winner. The objective is to find the right guy, no matter how long it takes.

Still, the importance of identifying the starting QB cannot be understated. And there’s not a player or coach associated with this team that isn’t at least a little curious about which guy will win the job.

“I don’t coach this position,” receivers coach Klint Kubiak said. “But (the success of our team is) gonna have a lot to do with the quarterback and our leader. We’ve got two guys that are really battling their tails off and we will go as that man goes.”

There are plenty of people out there who feel the job should belong to Cummings, who so often has been passed over yet found a way to stay ready and produce when called upon. Cummings is not one of them.

“I feel like it’s my job to go out and compete,” Cummings said. “I will say that I’m excited that this is an actual competition. We go out there every day ready to take on the world.”

The 2013 NCAA champion in the heptathlon, Vollmer entered the Kansas Relays with the primary goal of qualifying for this year’s nationals.

“In the past, I’ve had that pressure of having to

get that qualifying mark at Big 12,” she said, “and it puts a lot of pressure and strain on it.”

That worry no longer exists from here on out, after she relaxed enough the past two days to

reach her goal — even though her competitive nature left her unimpressed with her marks in each event.

The owner of six of the top nine heptathlon scores in KU history,

Vollmer felt honored to set a Kansas Relays record. An injury her sophomore year kept her from competing in her hometown heptathlon, and in 2014 she elected to take on that event at the Texas Relays.

“It’s cool my senior year, my last Kansas Relays,” she added, “to be able to go out there and do it.”

Cooler temperatures and wind made it difficult to focus Wednesday for Vollmer, but Thursday brought its own challenges.

“You’re tired from the day before,” she explained. “I feel like Day 2 your nerves kick in a little bit more.”

After overcoming it all, Vollmer hoped to finally get that nap before she began studying for a test.

“Back to it,” she said.

Orioles’ early-season schedule is a throwback to the ’30s Baltimore (ap) — The Baltimore Orioles’ earlyseason schedule is a journey into the past, exclusively on East Coast time.

Baltimore doesn’t play a game outside of the Eastern time zone until June 1, in Houston.

Until then, the Orioles won’t have to reset their watches or buckle up for a lengthy plane trip.

The last teams to play all their games in the Eastern time zone through May were the 1932 Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators, according to STATS LLC. Back in those days, the train was the preferred mode of travel.

“I wish we were doing it,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “I love the train.”

Baltimore occasionally travels by rail to New York, but the schedule calls for a six-day stay in the Big Apple next month for games against the Mets and Yankees. So the

Orioles will go by plane to New York, Boston, Toronto and Miami.

“It wouldn’t be feasible unless they get those bullet trains they have in Japan,” reliever Darren O’Day said. “Now that would be cool.”

Still, Baltimore couldn’t ask for a better way to start the season. The Orioles play 30 games at home in April and May, and their 19-game road slate began with three against Tampa Bay — meaning they never left Florida from spring training.

“Anytime you start the season you’re trying to find your groove,” first baseman Chris Davis said. “So anything you can have in your favor to make the travel a little less strenuous is an advantage.”

Showalter agreed that teams benefit from staying in the same time zone.

“It takes you about two weeks to get acclimated to the new baseball clock,” he said, “so to not have

that distraction is good.”

The rest of the teams in the AL East might cry foul, but the favorable schedule was just a quirk of fate.

“It really wasn’t anything that was planned,” said Katy Feeney, MLB’s senior vice president of scheduling and club relations.

Most teams face clubs within their division for the first three weeks, and the AL East matches up with the NL East in interleague play this year.

When the Orioles meet three AL West teams in May, all three series are at Camden Yards.

Their farthest trek before the end of May is to Miami.

“The hardest part about the beginning of the season is the night game and then flying to a different city in a different time zone and having a day game the next day,” Davis said.

Orioles traveling secretary Kevin Buck is responsible for making the

trip from one city to the next as easy as possible for the players. For these two months, that won’t be a difficult task.

“The biggest difference is the players are able to stay in a rhythm by staying in the same time zone,” Buck said. “There’s no jet lag, no four or fivehour flight.”

That’s the case in April and May, anyway.

“It’s awesome,” O’Day said. “Makes me wonder where we are in June, July and August.”

June and July will bring visits to Houston, Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit. Then comes August, which features a nine-game trip to the West Coast, along with three-game series in both Kansas City and Texas.

Challenge accepted.

“The fans don’t care about what time the game is. They care about results. So do we,” Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said. “No excuses.

Whatever the schedule is, we play it.”
