Proposal to raise sales tax clears House panel

Young surgeons gain experience and lend a hand

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — A proposal to address the state budget shortfall by raising the sales tax and eliminating some income tax deductions cleared a Kansas House panel Wednesday, but some lawmakers said it wouldn’t leave enough money for contingencies.

The proposal sent by the House Taxation Committee to the chamber’s floor would raise the state sales tax to 6.85 percent from 6.15 percent and eliminate all state income tax deductions except mortgage interest, charitable donations and property tax payments.

With the legislative session in its final days, lawmakers are rushing to close a Please see TAXES, page 2A l Bill passes moving local elections to November. 3A l Bill passes to revive racing park. 4A.

SHELBY MANGUS, RIGHT, MONITORS ANESTHESIA LEVELS for a dog named Ace as Taylor Boles neuters him inside the mobile surgery unit, pictured at top, of Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The unit visited the Lawrence Humane Society Wednesday. The students expected to perform about 30 surgeries that day during the unit’s first tour. Mangus and Boles are both fourth-year veterinarian students.

ourth-year Kansas State veterinary student Shelby Mangus neutered a pug-mix on Monday at Topeka’s Humane Society. On Tuesday the dog was adopted.

“It really feels great to be helping out,” said Mangus, an aspiring small-animal veterinarian.

Wednesday, Mangus said she performed just under 10 spay/ neuters at the Crauer Lawrence Humane Society in the veterinary school’s new and “state of the art” mobile surgery unit.

“I’m learning a lot of

different techniques,” she said.

Mangus is one of three fourth-year students traveling to humane societies around Kansas with the school’s inaugural Shelter Medicine Program, led by Dr. Brad Crauer.

The program offers students an in-depth look into the field and valuable hands-on experience, Crauer said. At the same time, the group provides each shelter

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers said this week they are close to reaching a compromise on regulations that could pave the way for Uber to resume business in Kansas.

“We’re continuing to work on finding compromise language,” said Sen. Jeff Longbine, R-Emporia, who chairs the Senate Financial Institutions and InLongbine surance Committee.

Uber had only been operating in Kansas a short time when it announced May 5 that it was suspending its web-based ride sharing service in the state.

That came after lawmakers passed a bill, overriding Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto,

group performed around 35 surgeries in Lawrence on Wednesday.

“It really improves their surgical confidence and tissue-handling skills,” he said. “And it makes them more hireable.”

Crauer said the program will increase the quality of veterinarians coming from the school, but he also hopes it will act as a “magnet,” attracting students to the school.

Taylor Boles spoke softly and deliberately as she sewed up the underside of a young, male miniature pinscher.

“I’m going to be a vet in the Army,” she said.

“They’re putting me through school and I’m giving them a bit of my time when I’m done.”

Although Lawrence is only the group’s second stop with the program, Boles said she’s already noticed a stark difference between performing surgery in a classroom and in a mobile unit.

“The big thing is efficiency,” she said. “Here we’re just trying to get as much done with the least amount of resources while still being sterile and healthy.”

“It’s a lot more fun, too,” Boles added. “But yeah, I’m already exhausted.”

Aside from Topeka and Lawrence, Crauer said the group will visit Emporia, Junction City, Salina, Beatrice, Manhattan and Ottawa. Then he catches a breath and heads out for another two-week session with a fresh crop of students.

Lawrence Humane So-

ciety Executive Director Kate Meghji agreed with Crauer that the program is a great learning opportunity for students, but emphasized the impact the group will make performing spay/neuters at each stop, free of cost.

“A lot of shelters in Kansas d o n ’ t have a full-time vet like we do,” Meghji Meghji s a i d . “ A n d they’re spending thousands and thousands of dollars taking animals to a vet to get them spayed and neutered.”

Between 3 million and 4 million animals are euthanized across the country each year, Meghji said.

Many of the euthanized animals are the result of accidental or irresponsible breeding, exacerbating an overpopulation issue, she said — an issue that can largely be addressed by spaying and neutering.

“I want this to be my retirement job. I want one of these,” Meghji said, laughing and gesturing to the mobile surgery unit. “And I want to drive around the country spaying and neutering.”

On average, the Lawrence Humane Society houses 300 animals at a time, and it services around 3,500 animals a year, Meghji said. Twothirds of those animals are stray or lost animals — more often than not the result of accidental breeding.

community engagement,” eroded community trust over time. Khatib said he required the reading to improve his police force and to make sure officers are “all on the same page.”

“It’s mind-boggling some of the things that were occurring,” Khatib said. “We want to constantly reflect, gain experience and extrapolate some lesson.”

Lawrence police officers have one month to read the report and are authorized to read it on duty between calls, Khatib said. Captains and sergeants will verify their officers have read the report and discuss takeaways, Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The Lawrence department may be one of the few in the area to require the Ferguson report’s reading. Representatives at the Salina and Topeka police departments said their officers were not required to read the report. The Kansas City, Kan., and Wichita police departments could not be reached for comment.

In Ferguson, city officials pressured the police department to generate revenue by issuing more and more citations for city code violations, according to the report, adding to the disconnect between the police and the community. For 2015, the city expects fines and fees to make up about 23.3 percent of its budget, the report said.

“The city and police department saw citizens as a source of revenue and a hindrance,” Khatib said “That’s a dangerous circumstance to have because you start to have police officers see citizens not as people they’re supposed to help but as an annoyance to whatever it is you want to do.”

By contrast, Lawrence’s 2015 budget anticipates fines and fees to make up about 4 percent of its budget. Khatib said that looking to citations for revenue is “pretty low-hanging fruit,” but it is “unethical” and “alienates the people you serve.”

“You don’t ever want a police department to rely on its activity for revenue,” Khatib said.

“Tickets should be more for a rule of law and consequences.”

The DOJ also found that Ferguson’s practices “are directly shaped and perpetuated by racial bias,” as evidenced by disproportionate arrest rates among races and even by racial slurs and stereotypes in email exchanges between officers.

The Lawrence Police Department’s administrative policy bans racial profiling, stating that any officer “who engages in the practice of racial profiling shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, which may include termination.” As

The shortfalls arose after the Legislature sharply cut personal income and small business taxes in 2012 and 2013.

Like other proposals considered by the committee, this measure would continue to reduce the state’s lowest personal income tax rate, lowering it to 2.55 percent from 2.7 percent, and would drop the sales tax rate on food to 5.9 percent.

of their projections, said Republican Rep. Don Hineman from Dighton.

“It’s really skating on pretty thin ice,” Hineman said, adding that it is difficult to accurately project sales tax revenues.

“We don’t want to have to do this again next year, or the year after, and that’s the concern to me,” he said.

The plan also counts on reaping $30 million from an amnesty for residents paying back taxes. The state took in roughly that much after a tax amnesty in 2010, but Democratic Rep. Brandon Whipple from Wichita said he believes it is “wishful” to expect the same amount again.

Reserves are also important to ensure smooth payment of expenses because the state takes in revenue throughout the

year, said Chris Courtwright, chief tax analyst for the Legislature. He estimated that a minimum of $50 million to $100 million in reserves is needed for cash-flow purposes.

But Republican Rep. Kasha Kelley, who helped craft the plan, said that she did not believe that the Legislature should use a tax increase to “pad the ending balance.”

“I fully believe that we need to do our job to get us back to relatively zero, which is what this plan does,” the Arkansas City lawmaker said.

She suggested that any additional revenues come from spending cuts.

A tax plan passed to the House floor by the committee Monday would impose a 2.7 percent tax on most of the profits from the 281,000 small business

Brownback told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he would prefer the Legislature continue to move away from income taxes and toward consumption taxes.

House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, a Kansas City Democrat, said in a statement that the sales tax proposal would “balance the budget by raising taxes on working families and middle class Kansans,” and blamed “Brownback’s failed economic experiment” for the shortfall.

KU business teacher: Records request an ‘abuse’

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

A student requesting a Kansas University business lecturer’s emails is trying to obtain information for a “political attack” to cause “personal and professional damage” to him, the latest filing in the case of Art Hall v. KU alleges.

In a memorandum filed Tuesday in Douglas County District Court, Art Hall said KU student

Schuyler Kraus — while voicing no objection to professors linked to “liberal environmentalist donors or causes” — filed the broad Hall Kansas Open Records Act request for his emails and other documents to advance her own political agenda.

“The abuse of state open records requests and freedom of information act requests is the latest tactic in a long battle against academic freedom,” Hall’s attorney Curt Tideman writes in the document. “Political organizations and individuals like Kraus abuse these requests to publicly disgrace, maliciously portray and silence professors they ideologically oppose in hopes that the professors will refrain from their

research, speech and other studies.”

Hall is founding executive director of the Center for Applied Economics, a public policy think-tank within KU’s School of Business, and has authored numerous publications on its behalf. Previously Hall was chief economist for the Public Sector Group of Koch Industries Inc. Kraus filed the records request last year on behalf of

the student organization she is president of, Students for a Sustainable Future. It’s one of a network of groups nationwide attempting to investigate the influence that brothers Charles and David Koch, conservative activist billionaires who own Wichita-based Koch Industries, have on academia.

Topeka — City and school board elections in Kansas would no longer be held in the spring under a bill passed Wednesday by the Kansas Senate.

Abortion foes seek change in law to help with lawsuit

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Abortion opponents are urging Kansas legislators to rewrite part of a 2011 law that imposed special health and safety regulations on abortion providers, telling state senators Wednesday that the move would eliminate an issue in a lawsuit keeping the rules from being enforced.

But an abortion-rights attorney representing father-daughter physicians who perform abortions and filed the suit said making the change creates new legal issues instead.

Lawmakers introduced

Grants CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Thellman said it was her understanding, after previous discussions with Henderson, that it was a matter of failing to “file paperwork in a timely manner.”

The Heritage Conservation Council recommends how much grant money applicants should receive. The council recommended giving ECM, 1204 Oread Ave., a $106,000 grant, the largest amount this year.

The grant would have gone to a construction project to address “deterioration and size of the parking lot and building structures” by moving two nearby water towers and building a low-level parking garage, according to the program’s documents.

“I can’t recommend that we move forward with ECM being awarded a COUNTY major grant,” COMMISSION Thellman said. “I would just say certainly this organization is an amazing organization in a historic building, but I think it’s important we’re funding organizations that are in good standing with their 501(c)(3) status and taxes.”

This year’s grants are: l $85,125 to the Douglas County Historical Society. The money will go toward infrastructure improvements to the third floor of the Watkins Museum of History. l $52,000 to the city of Lawrence for the restoration of the receiving vault at Oak Hill Cemetery that was built in 1884. l $40,000 to the city of Lecompton to renovate and preserve the Radical United Brethren Church, which is currently used as a community building. It was constructed in 1906 after the original structure burned down. l $21,060 to Black Jack Battlefield Trust Inc. for a project that will stabilize the interior of the Robert Hall Pearson Farmhouse.

The structure is at least 125 years old. l $16,400 to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church for the creation of an exhibit about Mexican families who came to Lawrence in the 1920s to work on the Santa Fe Railway. l $5,000 to the Kansas Riverkings Museum, which traces the history of people who lived off the Kaw River. After opening in 2014, the museum is beginning its “second stage of development,” according to forms from the Heritage Council. l $3,540 to the Sante Fe Trail Historical Society of Douglas County for the purchase of desks for the Clearfield School, a oneroom schoolhouse from 1903.

a bill Monday to make the change sought by abortion opponents, and Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee approved it Wednesday on voice vote, sending it to the full chamber for debate. Both chambers are dominated by Republicans and have strong anti-abortion majorities, so the measure is likely to pass.

“It’s a tweak bill,” said Kathy Ostrowski, legislative director for the antiabortion group Kansans for Life.

The bill clarifies a provision in the 2011 law designed to ban abortions in which a doctor provides an abortion-inducing drug to a patient and con-

sults with her by webcam or similar technology as she takes it. Both sides say there’s no evidence that Kansas providers are doing so-called “webcam” abortions.

Stephanie Toti, senior counsel for the Center for Reproductive Rights, based in New York, said the change doesn’t fix the constitutional problem with the law — specific requirements for doctors that often “aren’t medically appropriate” and hinder women’s care.

The center represents the doctors, Herbert Hodes and Traci Nauser, who have a women’s health center in Overland Park.

own because new board members taking office July 1 immediately have to begin working on complex budgets that must be passed in midAugust.

If the bill becomes law, Kansas would join about a dozen other states that hold local elections in November, and supporters of the bill note that those states have significantly higher voter turnout than Kansas.

Francisco said she was also concerned about holding primary elections in August because in Lawrence, Kansas University students and many faculty members are out of town that time of year. She said it would also extend the length of the general election campaign cycle, which is currently about four to six weeks.

“Every community is going to have particular concerns in terms of timing,” she said.

Holland was not immediately available after the vote to comment.

ways to try to increase participation,” Francisco said.

Currently, new terms for school board members begin on July 1 following the spring elections. City commissioners take office at the next business meeting following the election.

Under the bill, both city and school board officials would begin their terms on the second Monday in January following the elections.

Lawrence school board president Shannon Kimball has said that starting in January would mean starting in the middle of a school year, and the middle of a budget cycle. She said new board members would be unprepared for two of the major tasks that school boards undertake that time of year, performance evaluations for superintendents and opening contract talks with teachers unions.

Police plan DUI check lane Friday

Senate panel OKs bill The Lawrence Police Department will conduct to revive racing park a DUI check lane from 10 Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee has approved a bill aimed at reviving a dog and horse racing complex in Kansas City, Kan., with slot machines.

The Federal and State Affairs Committee’s voice vote Wednesday sends the measure to the full Senate for debate.

A 2007 law allowed slots at dog and horse tracks but said the state would claim 40 percent of the net machine revenues. Track owners have said the state’s share is too high for slots to be profitable.

2 charges added, 1 dismissed in Haskell rape case

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

One of two men accused of a November 2014 rape in a Haskell Indian Nations University dorm room was charged Wednesday with two additional counts in connection with the incident and another count was dismissed following a decision by Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin.

The 20-year-old former Haskell football player was originally charged with three counts of rape by force or fear and one Dave Van Hee, count of sodomy. But afartist/sculptor, ter hearing the alleged Douglas County victim’s testimony at a “Private detective.” preliminary hearing in March, Assistant Douglas County District Attorney Catherine Decena sought to charge him with two additional counts: aiding and abetting attempted aggravated criminal sodomy and aiding and abetting attempted rape.

The new charges have to do with the man allegedly assisting his 19-yearold co-defendant, charged with two counts of rape and one count of sodomy, Bethany Stadalman, to commit his own alleged physical therapist, sexual crimes with the Eudora same victim during the “My last memory of man’s encounter. what I wanted to be when Angela Keck, attorney I was little is a doctor.” for the 20-year-old, asked the judge to consolidate that man’s rape charges into one because each instance allegedly occurred over one 40-minute time period.

“It was a continuous course of conduct and Asked at Dillons on Massachusetts Street

should not be charged as separate crimes,” Keck said.

Decena said the actions justifying the charges were separate occurrences because the acts were separated by “fresh impulses” and “intervening events.”

Martin agreed with Decena, allowing her to add the additional aiding and abetting charges.

Martin also agreed with Keck Wednesday, when Keck argued that one of the rape charges of her client and the sodomy charge were multiplicitous, or redundant. Martin said that the acts that justified those charges were committed within one continuous course of action and therefore should be combined.

Following the hearing, the 20-year-old man is now charged with three counts of rape by force or fear, one count of aiding and abetting attempted aggravated criminal sodomy and one count of aiding and abetting attempted rape.

The men were released from the Douglas County Jail in November after posting $75,000 bonds.

They have returned to their homes in Oklahoma after being expelled from Haskell last semester in light of the allegations.

The 19-year-old is scheduled to make his next court appearance May 21, when he will be arraigned and enter a plea. The 20-year-old is scheduled to do the same on May 28.

The research found that a one-degree increase in heat in the spring would decrease yields by about 7 percent, though damage from hotter temperatures can be partially offset with more precipitation.

“It would be economically significant, obviously, since in Kansas our wheat crop has a value of nearly $3 billion a year and it represents 15 percent of all the wheat grown in the United States. So it would be a large economic cost,” Barkley said. “However, we do expect new wheat varieties to be more heat resistant in the future.

Punk band Arc Flash springs into action Aggressive live show among several slated for Saturday’s Spring Into Summer music festival

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

Arc Flash isn’t your run-of-the-mill garage rock act from Lawrence.

They write complex numbers, refer to themselves as “time wave space punk,” and evoke a wide range of emotions from their audience.

The three members are very complex. Guitarist and vocalist James Thomblison, often clad in a vibrant sweater dress while playing, represents the neutral side of this equation. Drummer Mark Osman tends to speak more positively, while bassist Lewis Guillen is a tad touchy, moody, even pessimistic at times.

But together, they create a fascinating live act, one of a host of local bands slated for Saturday’s Spring Into Summer Fest at the Replay Lounge.

One of the characteristics that makes them stand out from their peers is how the audience reacts to them. They jitter, they jive and they even joust. But one thing’s for sure: Arc Flash gets people to move.

“When I see a band, if they make me dance, that’s

You’re trained to stare at a screen and not move.

You’re trained from every angle, they try to stamp out the impulse to dance.”

Guillen echoed his bandmate’s sentiment.

“I think we started out this band very pessimistic,” he admits. “I think over time, we realized we just want to make emotion happen in somebody.

I think the biggest goal was to have emotion go into somebody’s brain.

I guess the goal of this

The punk band will be among the bevy of local bands slated to play at the Spring Into Summer music festival Saturday at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St. Osman began playing drums with Kansas City bands at the age of 14.

The ever-rebellious Guillen used to sneak into concerts when he was underage. But the idea of punk is ever-evolving, according to Arc Flash.

“It’s not about nihilism.

It’s actually about empathy,” Osman says. “It’s about having empathy for other human beings and trying to build a better reality with other humans around you, choosing how to live and not accepting how society tells The empathetic punk you you have to live.”

Evoking a reaction is something the band agrees plays into their conversation with the audience.

“You’re always sort of building the networks of the future. You go on tour and exchange ideas with other people in other towns all over the place,” Osman says. “I think that’s a really important exchange of information, especially when you’re working in a DIY sort of community.”

The three performers know a thing or two about DIY. They were heavily involved with the Whatever Forever music label, and the scene that

For them, it’s too late to change gears. Music is the best form of communication they can master.

“I live my life by a quote from Tony Wilson when he was discussing Joy Division,” Guillen says.

“Most bands go onstage to try and be a big rock band. This band went onstage because they had no choice. I have no choice.

It’s why I keep doing that.”

Osman says when he’s feeling pessimistic about society, performing helps him make the most of his time.

“I think that whenever you play a show, there are moments that sometimes you just grasp at, and sometimes you sustain for an entire set,” he says. “But I feel in those moments you — as a performer, audience member or spectator — can feel that the whole reconciled world is in the room with you. Even if it’s just for a moment. I think that’s really relevant, to be able to feel that. I think it’s the best to be able to glimpse that.”

Tax package The income tax exemption for businesses shouldn’t be off-limits in the state’s current budget negotiations.

A

s Kansas legislators work to produce a balanced state budget, there seems to be almost no discussion about further reductions in spending. All the negotiations now are about how to raise revenue to fill a budget gap of about $400 million.

Lawmakers seem to realize that they’ve done about all they can do to close the gap without additional revenue. They’ve sold bonds to finance state contributions to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement Fund and borrowed millions of dollars from the state highway fund. They’ve approved a plan to fund public K-12 schools with block grants, resulting in financial losses for many districts. They’ve reached an agreement that avoids large cuts for state universities but only if they agree to freeze tuition rates.

The tough talk in the Legislature about attacking the $400 million shortfall from the spending side has largely died down.

Now the governor and legislators are looking at what taxes they can raise. The governor contends that “consumption” taxes (sales, gasoline, cigarette, liquor taxes) are the answer. Some level of sales tax increase is part of every plan under consideration. A gasoline tax of about 5 cents per gallon also is on the table. Legislators are looking at increasing cigarette and liquor taxes but by less than the governor had proposed.

Brownback is standing by the law passed three years ago that exempts about 330,000 businesses from paying state income tax, but some legislators aren’t so sure. At least a few are saying that the impact of the law was greater than they expected, and that income tax revisions should be considered. Although the governor and his staff surely are expressing their opinions privately to legislators, Brownback has been unwilling to say publicly whether he would accept or veto a budget plan that included changes in his income tax policy.

Even if the sales tax on groceries is reduced, as some plans have called for, raising “consumption” taxes enough to balance the state budget would place a disproportionate burden on low- and middle-income Kansans. The same is true of plans to eliminate or reduce many state income tax deductions for the people who still pay those taxes. To take such actions while preserving the income tax exemption for businesses would strike many state residents as unfair.

There shouldn’t be any sacred cows in this budget discussion. Everything — including revisions in the business tax exemption — should be on the table.

The state’s budget situation will require some tough choices and compromise, and Brownback could get that ball rolling by saying he is willing to talk about changes in the income tax law.

Legislators have said they’d like to get a budget passed by the end of this week.

Meeting that deadline would be nice, but it’s even more important to produce a budget that addresses the current budget crisis in a manner that’s positive for the state and fair to its residents.

Intensive parenting stunts maturity Washington — Controversies about “free-range parenting” illuminate today’s scarred cultural landscape.

Neighbors summon police in response to parenting choices the neighbors disapprove. Government extends its incompetence with an ever-broader mission of “child protection.” And these phenomena are related to campus hysteria about protecting infantilized undergraduates from various menaces, including uncongenial ideas.

The Meitivs live in suburban Montgomery County, Md., which is a bedroom for many Washington bureaucrats who make their living minding other people’s business. The Meitivs, to encourage independence and self-reliance, let their 10- and 6-year-old children walk home alone from a park about a mile from their home. For a second time, their children were picked up by police, this time three blocks from home.

After confinement in a squad car for almost three hours, during which the police never called or allowed the children to call the Meitivs, the children were given to social workers who finally allowed the parents to reclaim their children at about 11 p.m. on a school night. The Meitivs’ Kafkaesque experiences concluded with them accused of “unsubstantiated” neglect.

Today’s saturating media tug children beyond childhood prematurely, but not to maturity. Children are cosseted by intensive parenting that encourages passivity and dependency, and stunts their abilities to improvise,

“

Children are cosseted by intensive parenting that encourages passivity and dependency, and stunts their abilities to improvise, adapt and weigh risks.” adapt and weigh risks. Mark Hemingway, writing at The Federalist, asks: “You know what it’s called when kids make mistakes without adult supervision and have to wrestle with the resulting consequences? Growing up.”

Increased knowledge of early childhood development has produced increased belief in a “science” of child rearing.

This has increased intolerance of parenting that deviates from norms that are as changeable as most intellectual fads.

“Intensive parenting” is becoming a government-enforced norm. Read “The day I left my son in the car” (Salon.com), Kim Brooks’ essay on her ordeal after leaving her 4-year-old in the car as she darted into a store for about five minutes.

Writing in the Utah Law Review, David Pimentel of Ohio Northern Univer-

sity notes that at a moment when “children have never been safer,” government is abandoning deference to parents’ discretion in child rearing. In 1925, the Supreme Court affirmed the right of parents “to direct the upbringing and education of children.” Today, however, vague statutes that criminalize child “neglect” or “endangerment” undermine the social legitimacy of parental autonomy. And they ignore the reality that almost every decision a parent makes involves risks.

Let your child ride a bike to school, or strap her into a car for the trip? Which child is more at risk, the sedentary one playing video games and risking obesity, or the one riding a bike? It is, Pimentel says, problematic for the legal system to enforce cultural expectations when expectations, partly shaped by media hysteria over rare dangers such as child abductions, are in constant flux.

Time was, colleges and universities acted in loco parentis to moderate undergraduates’ comportment, particularly regarding sex and alcohol. Institutions have largely abandoned this, having decided that students are mature possessors of moral agency. But institutions have also decided that although undergraduates can cope with hormones and intoxicants, they must be protected from discomforting speech, which must be regulated by codes and confined to “free speech zones.” Uncongenial ideas must be foreshadowed by

“trigger warnings,” lest students, who never were freerange children and now are as brittle as pretzels, crumble. Young people shaped by smothering parents come to college not really separated from their “helicopter parents.” Such students come convinced that the world is properly devoted to guaranteeing their serenity, and that their fragility entitles them to protection from distressing thoughts.

As Penn State historian Gary Cross says, adolescence is being redefined to extend well into the 20s, and the “clustering of rites of passage” into adulthood — marriage, childbearing, permanent employment — “has largely disappeared.” Writing in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cross says that “delayed social adulthood” means that “in 2011, almost a fifth of men between 25 and 34 still lived with their parents,” where many play video games: “The average player is 30 years old.” The percentage of men in their early 40s who have never married “has risen fourfold to 20 percent.”

In the 1950s, Cross says, with Jack Kerouac and Hugh Hefner “the escape from male responsibility became a kind of subculture.” Today, Oldies radio and concerts by septuagenarian rockers nurture the cult of youth nostalgia among people who, wearing jeans, T-shirts and sneakers all the way, have slouched from adolescence to Social Security without ever reaching maturity.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 14, 1915: “Most of the laundry bills contracted by the Clayton brothers years while running a laundry route ago among the University students IN 1915 for Wilders’ laundry will have to be paid according to the decision of the jury which was brought in late yesterday afternoon. After a long argument by the attorneys the jury was sent out and it took but a few hours for them to reach a decision. ... Considerable interesting evidence was introduced in the case. The defendants tried to show where the plaintiff has not filled the contract which has been made between them but there was no question in the minds of the jury whether or not the bill would have to be paid.”

Already great

Rude sign

God’s judgment

To the editor: As a long time East Lawrence resident, I would like people to know there are many residents here who are unhappy with the prospect of our neighborhood turning into an entertainment destination for the Arts Center and the City of Lawrence. While I can appreciate the concept of an arts district, this is not about art but more about future development and the gentrification of our neighborhood. There are developers chomping at the bit to buy up everything they can.

At the unbelievable number of meetings that we have attended, we hear over and over that “they” only want to make Ninth St. a great place for neighbors to meet, interact and enjoy art. Let me tell you, our neighborhood is already great, full of art, and there are many events for neighbors and others to meet and greet. Let me name just a few: St. Luke AME Church, a variety of community events at New York School, kickball in Hobbs Park, the Farmer’s Market, our annual neighborhood block party and my front porch. I could go on.

I love my neighborhood. Yes, we would love better streets and sidewalks. Who wouldn’t? However, the onslaught of traffic, large music events, bars and restaurants is very offsetting to many of us who are older, who have small children or who have an occasional backyard chicken that escapes.

What a wonderful downtown and amazing Arts Center we have. So let’s keep all that great entertainment downtown and out of our mostly residential working-class neighborhood.

Cynthia Trask, Lawrence

To the editor: “This made me so angry that it made me cry.” That was Kathy’s response to the rude sign displayed by the going out of business seller of cheap furniture — “Even (r-word) want to be free” — accompanied by a photo chosen to degrade and insult people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Yes, people with developmental disabilities want to be free, free not to be insulted and bullied and free not be an object of pity or contempt. We want to be free to be included as full members of our community, free to have jobs, free to rent an apartment or own a home, free to have friends and free to be treated with dignity and respect.

Having a disability is our normal; this is just part of who we are. Our disability does not define us; we define our disability. Like everyone else we are good at some things and not so good at others. Each one of us is different, just like everyone else. We sometimes need additional support to accomplish what we need to do. Our wonderful families and service providers work with us to give us what we need and let us be ourselves.

Too often people like that furniture seller think that we are less worthy of being part of their community. We are not; we are the community. We are part of Lawrence and proud of it. And, most of all, we are proud that we remain part of Lawrence and he will not.

To the editor: The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision regarding what defines marriage in America should be forthcoming. The gay community and other Americans are hopeful that a man/man or woman/woman union is backed by law while Bible-believing Christians and others believe that it should be defined as the union of a man and woman. Cal Thomas recently said that Justice Anthony Kennedy asked the right question: whether it is appropriate for the court to discard a definition of marriage that “has been with us for millennia,” adding, “It’s very difficult for the court to say, ‘Oh, well, we know better.’” Justice Kennedy is considered as the possible swing vote in the court’s decision.

Randy Alcorn in his book, “Eternal Perspectives,” quotes A. J. Conyers who recognized this changing point of reference in his book “The Eclipse of Heaven.” He points out that “The certainty of judgment, the longing for heaven, the dread of hell: these are not prominent considerations in our modern discourse about the important matters of life. But they once were.”

God’s righteous standards are not up for vote: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:18-20) Carl Burkhead, Lawrence

($7 each) with a choice of fillings ranging from chicken, steak, pork and shrimp to vegetarian options such as black beans and mushrooms. There’s also a drink menu featuring a Cadillac margarita and various flavors of aguas frescas, as well as chips with pico de gallo or guacamole.

Taco Zone co-owner Brad Shanks said the torta — refried black beans, Oaxaca cheese, pico de gallo, avocado and a filling on a telera roll — was the most popular order on Tuesday’s busy first day.

Shanks said the restaurant plans to rotate fillings on a regular basis, but will always include the basic proteins in some form. He also said that dessert options — such as a Mexican ice cream

cookie sandwich — are in the pipe for when summer heats up.

Those who still like live music with their tacos shouldn’t worry, as the Taco Zone stand at the Replay Lounge patio will still be in operation on the weekends, Shanks said.

Taco Zone is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the week and until 2 a.m. on weekends to accommodate the late-night crowd, which should be sizable with Henry’s, Sandbar and the Eighth Street Taproom nearby.

vehicles for commercial purposes.

“When someone with a lien on a vehicle is acting as a livery person, a transportation network company, there is a gap in coverage and we need to provide the means to fill that gap,” Longbine said.

Damon Baluska, a Kansas University graduate student, said he was impressed with Uber’s service during the short time it operated in Lawrence.

“I did use it once while it was up and running and it was way better than the taxi services here in Lawrence,” Baluska said in an email Wednesday.

“I was able to get a ride from downtown about 6-8 minutes after requesting it. My driver was super friendly and took me home for a little over $6, when typically a taxi for the same distance runs about $18.”

“The taxis here in town typically quote you 45 minutes to get picked up around closing bar time,” he added.

Joshua Talley, of Lawrence, said he worked as an Uber driver for about three days before it suspended operations in Kansas.

Talley, an engineer, said he took the job after being laid off from a company in Johnson County.

“I used to joke to myself that if I ever lose my job, I could always go drive for Uber,” he said.

“And then one day, the company laid off a whole bunch of people.”

Talley said he liked the concept of Uber, which involves smart phone apps that allow people to

request rides and drivers to log in when they are available to pick people up.

“I really liked the concept of it,” he said. “And having had some pretty poor experiences hailing cabs ... when I learned I could use my own car to drive with them, I signed up.”

But Talley said he has since landed another permanent job and probably will not go back to Uber, even if the company resumes operations.

Lawrence-area legislators reported that they have heard very little from their constituents regarding Uber. Most said they had received only one or two phone calls or emails from Lawrence residents on the issue, and most of those were from people who only said they didn’t understand what had happened.

Meanwhile, Lawrence city officials said they were barely aware that Uber had started operating in Lawrence before the company pulled out.

“I did send an email to city staff saying this was probably something we should look at if they come,” said Mayor Jeremy Farmer. “It’s something we’re definitely going to have to work at if that comes back.”

Farmer noted that the city commission is currently working on updating its taxicab ordinance.

And even though Uber is technically not considered a cab service, he said the city may consider amending the local law in such a way that it would cover companies like Uber.

Uber imposing new regulations on “transportation network companies” like Uber.

Those included requirements that drivers for such companies undergo criminal background checks by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation before they could carry passengers and that the company’s own insurance provide full coverage in case of accidents if the driver’s own policy did not.

In emails to its customers, Uber called those requirements a “poison pill” and said they were added to the bill to appease “special interests.”

“Uber is misleading people about the situation,” said Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence.

He noted that the new law isn’t scheduled to take effect until July 1, but Uber announced it was pulling out immediately.

A spokesman for the company did not respond to the Journal-World’s request for comment.

But Longbine said talks with Uber have continued since then, and new legislation could be introduced this week that would be acceptable to Uber as well as the banking and insurance industries.

Longbine said banks and auto loan companies were concerned about Uber because they have liens on vehicles that may not be fully insured by drivers’ personal policies when they use their

Just in time to appease the Taco Tuesday masses, Taco Zone opened its new restaurant space at 13 E. Eighth St. in downtown Lawrence.

Taco Zone got its start by serving Southern California-style tacos on the patio of the Replay Lounge during warmweather months for the last couple of years. It quickly became popular, so much so that owners decided to expand its reach into its own restaurant space.

A bigger space also means a bigger menu for the taqueria. On top of the three-taco option that was available at Replay, the new location serves tortas, burritos and quesadillas

Through his various political organizations, Bush has drawn an experienced cadre of political strategists, communication aides and technology experts to his campaign-in-waiting.

By waiting to declare his candidacy, Bush’s allies argue, he can collect big checks for his Right to Rise super PAC without running afoul of rules that limit coordination between super PACs and federal candidates, who are barred from accepting donations larger than $2,700 for the primary election.

Bush, who has held scores of fundraisers around the country, probably will report “an extraordinary number no one has ever seen before,” said David Beightol, a lobbyist and Bush supporter who has participated in three of his fundraising events in the Washington area, including one last week that Beightol and others in attendance said exceeded expectations.

Investigators and first responders work near the wreckage of Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188 that derailed Tuesday in Philadelphia on its way to New York City. At least seven people were killed and more than 200 others were injured.

Train going twice speed limit before crash, NTSB says Greg Toppo and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA The Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia, killing at least seven people and injuring more than 200, was traveling at 106 mph shortly before the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed Wednesday.

Robert Sumwalt, NTSB board member, said that the emergency brakes slowed the train down to 102 mph before the accident.

That speed was twice the limit for the section of curved track north of Philadelphia where the accident occurred. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, reacting to word of the train’s speed, said, “That’s just insanity.”

Nutter said he nevertheless didn’t want to prejudge. “We know what happened. We don’t know why.” It was the nation’s deadliest train accident in nearly seven years.

Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey said Wednesday that the train’s engineer, who has not been officially identified, declined to give a statement to police investigators and left a police facility with an attorney. CNN and CBS News identified the engineer as Brandon Bostian.

“We know what happened. We don’t know why.”

Michael Nutter, Philadelphia mayor

Amtrak’s Northeast Regional Train 188 from Washington, D.C., to New York City was carrying 238 passengers and five crew members when it left the track soon after 9 p.m. Tuesday, throwing all seven cars into disarray along the busy New YorkPhiladelphia corridor.

The train’s speed was captured on the “black box” that records data on the operation of the train. The device was recovered from the wreckage site and was being analyzed at the Amtrak operations center in Wil-

mington, Del. The device also records information relating to signaling and contains images from a video facing forward in the locomotive.

There is a 50 mph speed limit on the track in the area where the accident occurred, authorities said.

Rescue teams used cranes and hydraulic jaws to pull apart the twisted metal to access the cars.

The seventh body was found in twisted, shattered cars along a stretch of track, a Philadelphia fire official said.

Nutter said it would take some time to get a full accounting of who was on the train as officials go through the tedious process of trying to match the Amtrak passenger manifest with the people taken to hospitals.

The Navy and Air Force patrols are conducted to ensure freedom of navigation, Warren said.

“We are deeply concerned about the U.S. remarks.

The White House said the waters in question aren’t recognized as Chinese territory by the Law of the Sea Convention.

Moral injury: A wound that cuts deep Gregg Zoroya @greggzoroya USA TODAY

In the dank recesses of an Iraqi prison where confessions were extracted during the U.S. war, one man watching from the shadows with a black, wool hood over his head was U.S. Army Special Forces Capt. Bill Edmonds.

He was there as an adviser to Iraqi and Kurdish officers with orders to rein in the kind of torture made infamous at Abu Ghraib three years before. But Edmonds came home after a year deployment with psychological scars so deep and profound it was almost as if he were the one brutalized each day by a chain-smoking interrogator.

“I cannot become what I despise,” Edmonds writes in his memoir, God is Not Here; a Soldier’s struggle with Torture, Trauma and the Moral Injuries of War, (Pegasus Books) out this week, “but sometimes it feels as if this has already happened.”

He drew a hard line against the physical torture of prisoners accused of beheading Iraqi troops or blowing up Americans.

But he allowed coercive mental abuse — threats of summary execution or the killing of rela-

Edmonds arrived in Iraq wishing only harm to terrorists who had killed U.S. troops but strictly followed orders not to allow it. He left Iraq a year later convinced torture was wrong but ashamed he really hadn’t prevented it.

Three months before going home, his sanity fraying, Edmonds stopped monitoring interrogations. “I know that by not being there, by not taking responsibility, bad things are happening. I hate myself for giving up,” he writes.

Four years later, one marriage in ruins and a second in trouble, Edmonds starts showing classic

BILL EDMONDS

Edmonds came home ... with psychological scars so deep and profound it was almost as if he were the one brutalized each day by a chain-smoking interrogator.

symptoms of a stress injury: flashbacks, sleep deprivation, irritability and a sense of numbness leading to isolation.

“I’m in the passenger seat of our Volvo SUV,” he writes about a day of travel with his wife, Cheryl, and two daughters, “with a blank look on my face, while my mind races and jumps from thought to thought to thought. It is as if my brain has become a huge mob, screaming and scattering in every direction.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that nearly one in four Americans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan developed post-traumatic stress disorder.

The VA has treated 640,000 mental disorder cases from the wars, more than half of them PTSD. Yet the science behind this disease that so emotionally paralyzes is still evolving and there is a heated debate among scientists.

Is it triggered purely by sudden, fear-based trauma to a sexual assault or an bomb explosion or the gathering of body parts of comrades from a battlefield?

Or is there a strain of PTSD, maybe a cousin of it, that has less to do with fear than with the ruthless disassembling of knowing what is right from what is wrong?

War is rife with good people feeling shame or guilt for what they did, whether it is opening

fire on a car full of innocents because a driver fails to yield at a checkpoint, surviving combat while friends die or parsing the appropriate measure of abuse to pull confessions from an enemy.

Scientists are calling it moral injury. Former Navy psychiatrist William Nash, writing the introduction to Edmonds’ book, explains: “Moral injuries are wounds to beliefs and secondarily, to the identity of the person holding those beliefs, inflicted by events that violently contradict them.”

Nash, who today is director of psychological health for the Marine Corps, says, “We need to believe that the world is a good place; that we, ourselves, are good; and that our lives make sense somehow, that they are not just random chaos ... Lose your grip on even one of (those assumptions) and it’s a long fall.”

Edmonds, 43, who still serves in the Special Forces as a lieutenant colonel, believes his psychological illness is, in fact, a moral injury. He took a counselor’s advice and spent years writing as therapy to treat those wounds. This book was a result.

“By sheer force of will I revised myself,” he writes. “Now, I’m able to explain myself to myself.”

‘Nobody is going to catch Jeb’ on funding v CONTINUED FROM 1B

the son and brother of U.S. presidents, has a depth of experience on domestic and foreign policy issues that few of his rivals can match, he said. “He doesn’t want to have it on his résumé that he was the Republican Party’s nominee,” Beightol said. “He wants to be president.”

Bush’s fundraising prowess may have helped deter the 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, from making a third bid for the White House. But it has not made him the front-runner in a tightly packed Republican field. A new Saint Anselm/Bloomberg Politics poll of likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire voters puts Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at the front with 12% each, trailed closely by Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who each drew 11%.

The fat bank account will allow Bush to stockpile money and to start to assemble a campaign infrastructure and lock in GOP talent. Key aides associated with the Bush team include Scott Jennings, a Kentucky political strategist who ran a super PAC that was instrumental in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s 2014 re-election, and Andy Barkett, a former Facebook engineer who was the Republican National Committee’s first chief technology officer.

This week, one of House Speaker John Boehner’s top spokesmen, Michael Steel, joined the Bush camp.

SHELLEY MAYS, THE TENNESSEAN

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush waves to a crowd after he spoke at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum in Nashville in April.

Bush campaign officials did not have immediate comment Wednesday.

“Somebody like Jeb Bush doesn’t need to be worried that his poll numbers are mediocre right now,” said Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.

(Cullen is uncommitted in the race but has hosted meet-andgreet events for Bush and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.)

This year, Cullen said there are fewer opportunities for candidates to break from the pack than in earlier presidential contests.

The 2012 election’s crowded schedule of 20 GOP debates, for instance, allowed upstart candidates to garner attention, such as then-Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s breakout debate performance in June 2011.

This time around, the RNC has streamlined the nomination

process and has sanctioned up to 12 debates, with the first encounter not scheduled until August.

“He’s showing patience,” Cullen said of Bush, “and so are a bunch of the others. … No one is going to drop out for a lack of financial resources.”

The other candidates and their allies concede no ground to Bush.

“Nobody is going to catch Jeb on the money front,” said Bobbie Kilberg, a veteran Republican fundraiser who backs New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s slow-to-start bid and will hold a fundraiser for him Thursday at her home in Northern Virginia.

“But I don’t think you can equate the amount of money you raise with the amount of votes you get,” she said. “The proof of the pudding will be the strength of your policy positions and in your retail political skills. Chris Christie will shine in the debates

and will shine in campaigning.”

Bush is not alone in advancing his presidential bid through a new crop of big-money groups authorized by a pair of federal court rulings, including the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010. The ruling permitted unlimited spending by corporations and unions in candidate elections. Other candidates also are getting support from super PACs, and several have long-standing non-profit policy arms.

Bush has stood out because he’s raising large sums quickly, and his allies have pulled together the affiliated organizations in a relatively short time period.

Others are trying to catch up.

Allies of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the first major Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race, established four super PACs and raised $31 million in a single week. New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Mercer quickly emerged as a major funder of the pro-Cruz effort.

Dathan Voelter, a Texas attorney who serves as treasurer of the pro-Cruz super PACs, said more money has come in since the first-week haul, but he declined to disclose the amount. “We have expanded the network of high net-worth donors who are contributing,” he told USA TODAY on Wednesday. “We’ve been pleased with the response.”

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton said she would make fixing the nation’s “dysfunctional” campaign-finance system a key pillar of her campaign. How-

Police say the hours-long siege at a guesthouse in Kabul has ended with five people dead, including an American. Six people were wounded and 54 hostages rescued.

Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman said earlier today that the attack began at 8:30 p.m. local time Wednesday, when gunmen opened fire at the restaurant of the Park Palace Hotel.

He did not provide the nationalities of the victims or any other details. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul confirmed the American death.

Gunmen stormed the guesthouse as it hosted a party for foreigners in a central neighborhood that is home to United Nations compounds and a hospital.

— Jim Michaels VATICAN RECOGNIZES STATE OF PALESTINE IN NEW TREATY

The Vatican formally recognized the state of Palestine in a new treaty, finalized Wednesday.

The treaty, which follows a decision in 2012 by the United Na-

ever, in an apparent race to compete with Republicans such as Bush, she met last week with donors to Priorities USA Action, one of the super PACs supporting her campaign.

This week, a second pro-Clinton super PAC called Correct the Record announced it would coordinate closely with Clinton’s campaign. Organizers of the group, whose sole mission will be defending Clinton’s record, argue that because they will not fund paid advertising they will not run afoul of rules that bar super PACs from coordinating their spending with candidates.

Richard Hasen, an expert on election law at the University of California-Irvine, called Correct the Record’s move an “aggressive interpretation” of coordination rules.

It’s unlikely that the six-member, gridlocked Federal Election Commission would take any action if a presidential candidate stepped over the line. The commission’s chairwoman, Ann Ravel, declined to comment on any candidate’s practices, but she told USA TODAY this week that “recent history” on coordination issues “portends slim hope that we will be able to reach four votes to penalize any major transgressions.”

Hasen said the new campaign funding practices in 2016 are likely to set the precedent for future contests. “The Supreme Court got the ball rolling,” he said, “and candidates are pushing the ball down the hill as fast as they can.”

Senators try reviving debate on ‘fast track’ Democrats’ proposals to have separate vote Susan Davis USA TODAY

After a false start, pro-trade senators will try again today to begin debate on legislation to renew expired trade promotion authority to assist President Obama’s trade agenda.

Senate Democrats on Tuesday had blocked consideration of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation also known as “fast track.” Democrats wanted to package four separate pieces of legislation into the measure, a maneuver rejected by Republicans because it includes legislation considered “poison pills” that risked sinking the whole package.

In particular, Democrats sought a customs enforceGETTY IMAGES ment measure Ron Wyden that includes language aimed at cracking down on China for currency manipulation. The Obama administration opposes the provision, which has strong bipartisan support, saying it would threaten diplomatic relations and potentially undermine the Federal Reserve.

On Wednesday, negotiators reached a deal to vote separately on the customs enforcement bill and another measure assisting WASHINGTON

“I think we’ve come up with what’s fair.”

Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate majority leader

African economies first, and then vote to begin debate on TPA. With Senate party leaders and Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and ranking member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., on board, the legislation is likely to meet the 60-vote supermajority required to begin debate. “I think we’ve come up with what’s fair,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said.

There is further agreement that TPA will include trade adjustment assistance, legislation aiding American workers negatively affected by trade deals. Republicans largely oppose that measure, but it is a concession necessary to get Democrats on board.

The procedural wrangling forecasts what is expected to be a divisive and bruising battle to advance Obama’s trade agenda, perhaps the most significant final legislative push of his presidency.

Obama needs TPA to finalize negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade pact between the U.S. and 11 other Pacific nations.

If the Senate can pass TPA, it will move to the House, where leaders acknowledge that it does not yet have the bipartisan support it needs.

More than a day after a Marine helicopter disappeared in flight over Nepal, a search and rescue effort has found no sign of the missing aircraft and its crew of six U.S. Marines and two Nepalese soldiers, a Pentagon official said Wednesday.

“The search continues,” said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.

The official update dashed hopes raised by an earlier report from a German news agency that suggested officials had determined the helicopter’s location.

“There are a lot of reports

floating around, none are attributed to anyone and most have been investigated by DoD and determined to be fake,” Army Maj. David Eastburn, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Command, said in an email to Military Times, referring to the Department of Defense.

Also Wednesday, authorities and rescue workers in Nepal resumed the search for survivors of Tuesday’s deadly earthquake — the second to strike in the country in just a few weeks.

Thousands of people spent the night outdoors after Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 earthquake killed at least 79 people and injured more than 2,300.

Many of the injured were re-

ported to be stranded in villages, and landslides have cut off access to some locations.

Officials with bullhorns walked through the small town of Chautara, where dozens of buildings are reported to have collapsed, telling residents: “There is danger!” and “Leave the buildings!”

The latest disaster followed a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on April 25 that killed more than 8,000 people and injured 17,000.

The aerial search for the missing helicopter was halted after sundown Wednesday.

The Huey helicopter disappeared Tuesday during a mission in a remote mountainous region in Nepal. Another helicopter in the area “picked up some (radio) chatter about a fuel problem,” Warren said Tuesday shortly after the aircraft was reported missing.

Next advance in U.S.-Cuba relations: Medical research

N.Y. facility to test Cuban cancer vaccine Alan Gomez and Liz Szabo USA TODAY

A landmark agreement to allow an American cancer institute to begin testing a lung cancer vaccine developed in Cuba could be the start of a renewed medical research relationship between the two countries.

Cuba has long been a surprising leader in the development of medical treatments, from laying the groundwork to cure malaria to more recent advances in biotechnology to battle meningitis, hepatitis, diabetes and cancer.

But Cuban researchers have mostly been unable to share their experiences with their American counterparts because of the economic embargo the U.S. has maintained on the Communist island for more than a half-century.

Now, as President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro move to normalize relations, their countries are starting to team up on medical research.

Federal restrictions on working in Cuba and sending medical equipment there are being loosened, meaning more Cuban scientists can visit the U.S., more American researchers can spend time in Cuba, and the scientific bond between the two countries can be re-established.

The first step in the new relationship was an agreement between the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo to test a vaccine developed by Cuba’s Center for Molecular Immunology.

“They’re an extremely innovative group of scientists,” said Roswell Park president and CEO Candace Johnson, who signed the deal in Havana in April. “They’re just brimming with ideas.”

International scientists have been experimenting with cancer treatment vaccines for many years, and one is already approved in the USA to treat prostate cancer. The Cuban vaccine, called Cimavax, attacks the problem in a different way, said Kelvin Lee, Roswell Park’s chairman of immunology.

Rather than attack the tumor itself, the vaccine — already approved in Cuba and Peru — is designed to starve cancers of growth factors that act like fertilizers to help them grow. The vaccine contains a man-made protein, called epidermal growth factor, or EGF, that fuels the growth of tumors in the lung, colon and other organs, Lee said.

In clinical trials conducted in Cuba, most patients with advanced lung cancers who received the vaccine lived two to four months longer than those who didn’t receive it. Patients who had the most EGF protein benefited the most, getting an extra eight to 10 months of survival, Lee said.

About 5,000 patients have received the vaccine worldwide, in-

cluding 1,000 in Cuba.

This early success has even led some American lung cancer patients to fly to Cuba to receive the vaccine, Lee said.

That kind of innovation piqued the curiosity of U.S. researchers like Mark Rasenick, a physiology and psychiatry professor at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, who has visited Cuba for 20 years. The country has struggled economically for decades, forcing Cuban scientists to figure out how to prevent diseases in their own way.

Rasenick gives the example of a brain-mapping technique pioneered by underfunded Cuban scientists. In the U.S., if a patient

has a stroke, doctors can use magnetic resonance imaging to see what is happening inside the patient’s brain. The machine costs millions of dollars.

Rasenick said Cubans instead use an older, cheaper procedure known as electroencephalography — “basically a bathing cap with a bunch of electrodes.” It measures brain activity only on the outside of the brain, so the Cubans developed sophisticated algorithms that have successfully used that data to determine what’s going on inside the brain.

Total price tag: $20,000.

Rasenick said the cheaper technology could help people in rural parts of the U.S. where doc-

tors don’t have access to the multimillion-dollar machines.

And others say that level of ingenuity could help U.S. scientists approach problems from a different perspective.

Vaughan Turekian, chief international officer for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said combining those two scientific worlds could lead to a “quantum leap” of breakthroughs.

“They might have developed different methodologies out of necessity, and as those interact with the technologies coming out of the U.S. scientific community, those could merge into potentially new treatments and new applications that we haven’t thought about,” he said.

The expanded relationship will also allow medical students from both countries to visit and train in each country. Peter Agre, a Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist who heads the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, said American universities have long sent students for short visits to Cuba. Now they could expand that so students from Cuba train in the U.S. and vice versa.

“The embargo has been so catastrophic for scientific collaboration over the past 50 years, and there’s a lot we can learn from each other,” he said. “This is clearly in the best interest of the United States.”

HIGHLIGHT: NEW YORK

At the 914, Bruce’s ‘Run’ was born Robert Brum

The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News

Back when Rockland owned a piece of the 914 area code, the county also owned a piece of rock ’n’ roll history.

Forty years ago, at the 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, Bruce Springsteen laid down one of rock’s most iconic tracks — Born to Run. The album of the same name was released during the summer of 1975.

Today, the recording studio is a car wash.

Springsteen’s manager Mike Appel had been bringing him to the legendary recording space on Route 303 to craft his sound, away from the time and financial constraints of the New York City studios.

They were nurtured by 914’s founder, Brooks Arthur, who was a hot name in the business when he partnered with famed producer Phil Ramone to open 914 Sound Studios in 1971.

He had engineered recordings for Carole King, Lieber and Stoller, Van Morrison and the Shangri-Las, including their hits Leader of the Pack and Walking in the Sand.

Now he wanted to create an atmosphere where musicians could express themselves in a workshop environment.

He found it on Route 303, been cavalier about player safety, debuted its Play Smart, Play Hard campaign that includes a website devoted to concussion education and an advisory council to review IHSA polices and make recommendations on possible changes, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The Blauvelt Auto Spa occupies the space where Bruce Springsteen recorded Born to Run 40 years ago. next to the Blauvelt Coach Diner and across from Erie Street.

“I found this old garage,” Arthur recalled recently from Los Angeles. “It had two sliding doors. Around the side it had sort of a double door entrance.

It had the two lifts for the cars ... We poured fresh cement, found an SSI console. ... I was creating what I as an engineer and producer thought would make a fine studio.”

The control room boasted state-of-the-art 16-track recording and the studio could fit a small orchestra, said Larry Alexander, who Arthur hired as assistant engineer in time to begin recording Bruce Springsteen’s Greetings from Asbury

Park in 1972.

Among the artists who recorded at 914: Melanie, Loudon Wainwright III, Blood Sweat and Tears, Ashford and Simpson, Dusty Springfield, the Ramones and James Taylor.

“We were cranking out the hits,” Arthur recalled.

Arthur left the studio after about five years for the West Coast, where he’s worked with Neil Diamond, Carole Bayer Sager, Peter Allen, Bette Midler and Adam Sandler. 914’s new owner renamed it Ultima Studios.

The site, which is now the Blauvelt Auto Spa, has also been home to a meat warehouse and dance studio.

Trian lost bid for board seats, but that won’t stop others Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Sorry Corporate America, but you’re no safer from the badgering tactics of hedge fund activists than you were before chemical giant DuPont roundly defeated billionaire investor Nelson Peltz.

On Wednesday, Peltz’s hedge fund firm, Trian Fund Management, lost its bid for four board seats at the chemical company it was seeking to split into pieces.

Trian, which owns a 2.7% stake in DuPont, boasted afterward that “the vote was close,” but it still failed to secure even a single seat.

MONEYLINE MORGAN STANLEY FINED Morgan Stanley has been fined $2 million for short-interest reporting and rule violations by one of its units over more than six years, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority said Wednesday. The New Yorkbased trading and investment giant failed to completely and accurately report its short-interest position in certain securities involving billions of dollars in sales, said FINRA, a Wall Street self-regulator.

TWITTER CFO BOOSTS STOCK WITH PURCHASE OF SHARES Twitter shares got a small bump from news that company’s finance chief, Anthony Noto, bought shares in an apparent bid to restore confidence in the stock. Since the beginning of May, Noto has picked up 6,700 shares ranging in price from $37.50 to $38. The investment of about $250,000 got a reaction from Mad Money host Jim Cramer, who tweeted: “Thank you, @anthonynoto for buying some shares in $TWTR; been a rough run.” But the stock didn’t react nearly as much, closing up 0.6% to $37.72.

Despite Trian’s resounding defeat, companies should think twice before declaring victory.

Hedge fund activists like Carl Icahn and Dan Loeb, who push for changes that will boost stock prices, are bigger and more successful than ever before. And Trian’s loss to DuPont won’t likely change that.

Even Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, the Yale professor who publicly criticized Peltz for his fight with DuPont, agreed that Peltz’s loss in Delaware won’t do much to stop large investors from making demands and then threatening board fights, known as proxy contests, if they don’t get their way.

“I think he will lick some wounds but will be back at it,” said Sonnenfeld in an interview of Peltz. “It’s certainly a setback, but it’s not a fatal blow.”

As several large media outlets, including The New York Times and National Geographic, participate in Facebook’s efforts to dominate online publishing, readers can expect some of the publishers’ most interactive stories to appear directly on the social networking site.

Facebook’s new “Instant Articles” initiative, launched Wednesday, lets publishers post stories and video directly to Facebook’s News Feed on its iPhone app, using what the tech giant says are its interactive tools that will bring stories “to life in new ways.”

Others participating are BuzzFeed, NBC News, The Atlantic, The Guardian, BBC News, Spiegel Online and Bild.

ONE EXAMPLE FROM THE AFL-CIO

wait for companies to disclose the data.

The union takes special aim at discount retailer Walmart, which has found itself in the center of the firestorm over worker pay.

Wamart CEO C. Douglas McMillon was paid $19.4 million in 2014.

That included $1.2 million in salary, $14.6 million in stock awards and $2.9 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation.

Assuming a 50-hour workweek, McMillon’s pay works out to $7,461 an hour, which is 82,800% higher than the $9-anhour pay for a new Walmart employee.

Walmart says McMillon was not actually paid $19.4 million, according to Randy Hargrove, spokesman at Walmart.

The company says that a portion of the $14.6 million in stock awards granted in 2014 are not actually earned until the company meets performance goals over a three-year period.

The company also says 75.3%

of the chief executive officer’s pay in fiscal 2015 was tied to performance goals. Walmart paid executives below what they could have earned in fiscal 2015 because the company’s financial performance fell short of the company’s goals.

The fact that companies are digging in and resisting disclosure on how CEO pay compares to workers’ pay leaves investors to calculate the stats themselves as best they can.

There’s a similar disconnect in the restaurant industry.

USA TODAY found the 13 CEOs of a group of well-known retailers and restaurants haul in an average $5,859 an hour, according to an analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Putting that another way: It would take an employee making $10 a hour more than two months working each day to earn as much as the average CEO in these industries makes in a single hour.

his battles better,” Sonnenfeld said. “Where he’s good is going after truly sick companies. He should pick the right battles.”

And as more activists go after large, healthy companies for things like buybacks they need to remember to play nice — like Icahn at Apple.

Rather than wage an ugly proxy contest, Icahn gently urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to buyback more stock. In April, Apple said it would boost its buyback program to $140 billion from the $90 billion announced last year.

"This is really the first time someone has tried to replace a board that is outperforming," said Ken Squire of Peltz’s fight at DuPont. "Activism is close, but it's not there yet," said Squire, , who runs 13D Monitor, which tracks proxy contests.

As of Wednesday:

fore shareholders could vote, up from 31% in 2009 and 43% in 2008, according to FactSet. The loss is embarrassing for sure. But Peltz isn’t the first bigname activist to fall flat on his face: uCarl Icahn bowed out of his bitter proxy battle with online retailer eBay in April 2014. uJeff Smith of Starboard Value lost his 2012 battle to win board seats at email provider AOL. uBill Ackman famously choked up at the Target shareholder meeting in 2009 after he lost his attempt at board seats.

CEO PAY ON THE CLIMB

Companies keep resisting rules requiring them to disclose how much more their CEOs earn than average workers. So the AFL-CIO is doing the math for them.

CEOs in the AFL-CIO’s pay database released Wednesday earned an average of $13.5 million last year, which is 373 times more than the $36,000 per year paid to the average production and non-supervisory worker, says the AFL-CIO. CEO pay in the AFL-CIO study increased 16% in 2014. The AFLCIO is a labor union representing workers’ rights.

Total assets under management in the activist space are now over $100 billion, according to consulting firm PWC. Meanwhile, activists are winning more often than ever before.

Last year, 73.1% of proxy fights resulted in a board seat or some other concession from companies they targeted, according to data researcher FactSet. That’s up from 63.3% in 2013 and 48.6% in 2012. The third best year for activist investors was 2005, when 62.9% of proxy fights resulted in at least a partial win, according to FactSet. Meanwhile, the number of settlements is also at historic highs, suggesting that companies are more likely to give in to an activist’s demands than put up a costly fight.

FACEBOOK

Facebook launched its ‘Instant Articles’ platform on Wednesday.

post only a limited number of stories directly to Facebook. They will be able to publish them simultaneously on their sites, as well.

News publishers have had cautious but potentially rewarding relationships with Facebook.

Facebook is the most dominant social media referral engine, boosting publishers’ traffic to individual stories while lessening the importance of their own branded front pages. The new agreement represents the publishers’ willingness to further deepen their ties in pursuit of

more revenue worldwide.

Facebook has 1.4 billion users per month, and 83% of them come from outside the U.S. and Canada, according to the company. Meanwhile, a survey by the Pew Research Center found that 30% of people in the U.S. already get their news primarily from Facebook.

“This gives Facebook an extraordinary amount of power, as much as any platform company could have,” says Rich Hanley, director of the graduate journalism program at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.

“This is a fundamental shift toward mobile for media companies.”

Readers of the “Instant Articles” can zoom in and tilt photos.

And video will play automatically as readers scroll, though that feature may not be universally appealing for those on limited data plans. Publishers will also have access to Facebook software for interactive maps and audio captions.

“Fundamentally, this is a tool that enables publishers to provide a better experience for their

readers on Facebook,” said Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox in a company blog. “Instant Articles lets them deliver fast, interactive articles while maintaining control of their content and business models.”

Facebook says directly posted stories will load faster on mobile devices. On Wednesday, The New York Times posted on Instant Articles an interactive profile of Laís Souza, the Brazilian gymnast who was paralyzed while training to be an Olympic aerial skier. National Geographic’s launch story was about scientists’ efforts to create a hardier honeybee.

Publishers get to keep revenue from advertising they create and sell within the stories. But Facebook will get a 30% cut if publishers choose to use the company’s advertising sales technology, called Audience Network, says The New York Times.

“We’re participating in Instant Articles to explore ways of growing the number of Times users on Facebook, improving their experience of our journalism,” said Mark Thompson, CEO of The New York Times Co.

Once a highflier, Cisco now runs under the radar

Q: Is Cisco still a relevant tech stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Apple. Microsoft. Google. Facebook.

These are probably the stocks that pop to mind when you think of tech. Cisco Systems isn’t the growth story is was.

It wasn’t always this way. During the 2000 bubble, Cisco became the most valuable stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 for a short time. Everything changed after the tech-stock bubble burst. Cisco is now the 28th most valuable stock in the S&P 500, trailing companies a fraction of its age like Facebook but also other established tech companies like Intel and International Business Machines.

It’s not just Cisco’s market value that has diminished but also its valuation.

The company is now trading for roughly 18 times its diluted earnings over the past 12 months.

That means this once highflying stock is now trading for a below-the-market multiple. And the company keeps delivering on the bottom line. The company Wednesday reported 6% higher adjusted quarterly profit, which beat expectations by 1%.

But here’s the problem. Growth-oriented tech investors aren’t looking for companies boosting earnings by singledigit percentages.

Analysts rate the stock “outperform” but hold out an 18-month price target of $30.70, which is just 4.6% higher than current levels.

Consumers fail to open pocketbooks as expected in April Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Warm weather failed to loosen tight-fisted consumers in April as they continued to sock away their savings from cheap gasoline.

Their extended penny-pinching is raising doubts about whether consumers will be the engine of economic growth this year that economists anticipated as business investment continues to languish.

Retail sales were flat last month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, well below

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

Gaby Lopez shops for clothes at the Steps New York store in Miami.

Retail sales were flat last month.

the 0.3% increase projected by economists surveyed by Action Economics. So-called core sales — which exclude autos, gasoline,

food services and building materials — also were unchanged.

Analysts expected a 0.6% rise.

Sales rose at sporting goods, health and personal care, and building materials stores, but fell at furniture, electronics and department stores.

The disappointing report prompted Michael Feroli of JPMorgan Chase to revise his estimate of second-quarter economic growth to 2% at an annual rate, down from 2.5%.

Americans were expected to splurge in April after harsh winter weather and stagnant wages were blamed for crimping their

purchases since December. A closely watched Labor Department report this month showed private wages rising at the fastest pace in seven years in the first quarter.

Other factors also have fattened consumers’ wallets, including strong job growth, high consumer confidence, lofty stocks and low gasoline prices.

“The disappearance of consumer spending in early 2015 has now become even more mysterious,” Feroli says.

Barclays Capital economist Jesse Hurwitz says most of the fuel-savings lift to Americans’

outlays came last fall. He expects just a moderate boost the rest of 2015.

Other forces might be at work, including spending cutbacks by retiring Baby Boomers and the inability of Millennials to replace their purchasing power as they struggle in the job market, says economist Andrew Labelle of TD Economics.

Other economists are more upbeat. Gregory Daco of Oxford Economics cites April’s healthy rise in spending at restaurants and bars. “That’s not the type of (actitvity) you do when things aren’t going well,” he says.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

ow do the Barden Bellas plan to pitch-slap the box office again?

They started with boot camp. Before cameras ever rolled on Pitch Perfect 2 (in theaters Friday), Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and the rest of the Bellas subbed trust falls and campfires with vocal warm-ups and sheet music.

“You normally split up the day between choreography and singing,” says Wilson, who deadpans winningly as Fat Amy in the a cappella-fueled sequel. “And we also do some cardio and physical training just so we’re getting in shape for the film.”

Fat Amy quickly became a crowd favorite in the 2012 original, thanks to the Australian comedian’s comic timing. Wilson made her mark as Kristen Wiig’s ridiculous roommate in Bridesmaids before stealing scenes in Pitch Perfect with a blend of bravado, crude jokes and vocal chops.

Wilson admits to being “really worried” going into the sequel. “I felt a lot of the weight of the comic expectations on me and Fat Amy,” she says. “And I really did want to make it as good as the first one.”

Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian compares Pitch Perfect, a surprise box office success, to the Austin Powers phenomenon. Both were “a modest hit the first go-round in theaters and then came a massive hit on home video,” he says, predicting Pitch Perfect 2 will give the Rrated Mad Max: Fury Road a run for its money this weekend.

“The first Pitch Perfect really did change my life,” says Wilson. After Bridesmaids, “I could still go to Trader Joe’s in my sweatpants. But when Pitch Perfect came out, that’s when you had paparazzi outside your house. I get recognized now everywhere.”

Pitch Perfect 2 catches up with the Barden Bellas three years later. Now established pros, the seniors are performing for the president of the United States.

Cue Fat Amy, triumphantly spinning from the ceiling wrapped in Cirque du Soleil-like trapeze silks. And then her pants split.

Rebel Wilson says she improvised many of Fat Amy’s jokes in the sequel.

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

“I know I make jokes, but I trained very hard to be able to do that,” says Wilson, eyes wide. “There was nothing below. It was cold concrete if I fell.”

The pressure is on, too, for star Elizabeth Banks, who directs the sequel. Wilson says she’s grateful Banks let her “do my thing”; she estimates that half of Fat Amy’s jokes are improvised.

“Fat Amy resonates as a character because she is PICTURES devoid of self-consciousUNIVERSAL RTWRIGHT, RICHARD CA ness,” Banks says. “That’s a tribute to both Rebel’s fearlessness and intelligence.”

And Fat Amy’s love life is on center stage when her former hookup, Bumper (Adam DeVine), makes a play for more.

“A lot of girls looked up to me and my character in Pitch Perfect,” the actress says. “The fact that I get the love storyline in the second one, I think that’s cool.”

LAWRENCE HIGH GOLFER COLE BRUNGARDT HITS a shot off the fairway during the Lawrence High Invitational on Wednesday at Alvamar.

Lions weather wind well John Young/Journal-World Photo

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

With strong cross winds at Alvamar on Wednesday, Lawrence High boys golfers needed to take advantage of what they could control: putting.

The Lions were strong on the greens and put up consistent scores to tie for fifth place at the 25-team LHS Invitational. Free State finished in 10th.

Sophomore Cole Brungardt (80), junior Dawson Dykes (81), junior Braxton Olson (81) and sophomore Garrett Wildeman (82) all finished within two shots of each other, helping the Lions post their best round of the season.

“We push each other every day,” Brungardt said.

“We all definitely picked out our weaknesses and turned them into our strengths. It’s fun to see.”

Olson had a triple-bogey on his first hole before bouncing back with a few birdies to get back on track.

He has worked on his putting all season, and it paid off Wednesday.

“It probably saved me seven strokes today,” Olson said.

The wind affected some of the Lions trying to drive the ball onto the fairway and made it difficult to land the ball on the green off their irons.

“It was stiff wind,” Brungardt said. “It was just different because it normally blows the other direction, so I just wasn’t used to it.”

Olson added: “It was Please see GOLF, page 3C

FREE STATE SENIORS JOEL SPAIN (4) AND COOPER KARLIN CELEBRATE the Firebirds’ 4-3 victory over Lawrence High on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

FSHS baseball completes sweep

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It wasn’t pretty, but Free State High baseball players weren’t going to let that take away from any of their excitement on Wednesday night. In the City Showdown, the motto is win by any means necessary.

The Firebirds were held to just two hits but took advantage of a few Lawrence High errors for a 4-3 walk-off victory at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark. It was the

first time Free State won the annual City Showdown at KU since 2011.

With the score tied 3-all in the bottom of the seventh inning, FSHS senior Joel Spain laced a single into center, then stole second on the next pitch. When senior Jon Saathoff drew a walk on a pitch in the dirt, Spain took off for third before scoring when LHS catcher Ivan Hollins’ throw went into left field.

Spain was mobbed by his teammates after scoring the game-winning run.

“He can run, but he also has good instincts,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said of Spain.

“He has good baseball knowledge. But more than any of that, he’s just such a competitive kid, and you really put your trust in people who compete. That’s why I have a lot of faith in him.”

Spain, who will play at Cowley County next year, had both of Free State’s hits.

He tied the game in the fourth inning with a two-out RBI infield single to shortstop, scoring senior Marcileno Cortez.

LHS junior left-hander Daonte Lowery gave up no hits in 32⁄3 innings, but he walked six and hit one batter. He was relieved by junior Brad Kincaid, who was throwing his fastball in the mid-80s.

“They did a great job of keeping us off balance,” said Spain, who also had two diving catches in center field.

“Daonte, he hides the ball really well from the left side.

He’s able to hit his spots.

Lions rebound for softball split

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Two days removed from a 13-3 setback to Free State, Lawrence High’s softball team wanted to makes amends Wednesday by earning a victory over the Firebirds on its Senior Night at LHS. The Lions did just that.

They pounced on the Firebirds early, scoring five runs in the first, en route to an 8-3 victory.

“I told the girls that ever John Young/Journal-World Photo since that game ended the LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR PITCHER MEGAN SUMONJA DELIVERS during other night that I couldn’t the Lions’ 8-3 victory against Free State on Wednesday at LHS. wait to get back on the field,

because I knew we were going to win,” LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton said. “I had that feeling coming into the game because these girls are resilient, and they wanted it.”

LHS batted around in the first and scored all five of its runs with two outs, as Annie Grammer, Morgan Husman and Sami Mills each drove in runs. The Lions also benefited from an FSHS defensive miscue that led to two runs. Junior Brook Sumonja reached safely on a bunt single, but the Firebirds compounded the issue by allowing two runs to Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C

KU softball’s Chavez having ‘crazy’ rookie year

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Kansas University senior Maddie Stein’s college softball career comes to a close this spring, she will exit the program as the Jayhawks’ all-time leader in RBIs. As someone who has witnessed the power of KU freshman Daniella Chavez, though, Stein knows her place in the record book won’t last long.

A first baseman from El Reno, Oklahoma, Stein broke through at Kansas with a career-best 49 RBIs as a sophomore, in 2013, and

has knocked in 150 for her career.

When the Jayhawks open their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament on Friday in Columbia, Missouri, against Louisville, Chavez will take her first postseason at-bat having already driven in 65 runs. Chavez “That’s just crazy,” Stein said of the designated hitter’s first-year production. “That’s awesome for her.”

Chavez leads KU with 15 home runs — on a pace of one every 10 at-bats — and has a .353 batting average to go with her .693 slugging percentage. The freshman from Crowley, Texas, smacked a homer in each of the Jayhawks’ three victories at Iowa State to close the regular season and become the program’s all-time leader for RBIs in a season.

Kansas coach Megan Smith said the staff recruited Chavez knowing she had tremendous offensive potential.

“I think any time a freshman is kind of the one that leads your team, carrying

the heavy load for you offensively, I think that’s unique,” Smith said. “But we knew she had the ability and the talent to do that.”

Chavez revealed she wasn’t so sure.

“I figured I would impact the team and help the team, but not this quickly,” she admitted. “It’s pretty exciting, and I’m honored to be able to help this program.”

The first eight games of the season, Chavez went John Young/Journal-World File Photo homer-less.

Hawks take 3-2 edge The Associated Press

Hawks 82, Wizards 81 Atlanta — Al Horford snatched away an offensive rebound and dropped in the winning basket with 1.9 seconds left after Dennis Schroder’s drive to the basket was blocked by John Wall, giving top-seeded Atlanta a victory over Washington and a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

BRIEFLY Ex-Tar Heels coach Guthridge dies at 77 Chapel Hill, N.C. — Bill Guthridge, the longtime assistant to Dean Smith who succeeded him as North Carolina’s head coach, has died. He was 77.

The school announced Wednesday that Guthridge died Tuesday night. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Guthridge, a native of Parsons, Kansas, spent three decades as an assistant to Smith, helping him bring national championships to Chapel Hill in 1982 and 1993.

When Smith retired as Division I’s winningest men’s coach shortly before the 1997-98 season, Guthridge was promoted to replace him, and he guided the Tar Heels to two Final Fours in three seasons.

Guthridge went 80-28 from 1997-2000, reaching Final Fours in 1998 and 2000 before retiring that June.

Smith died in February at age 83.

KU HOOPS NOTEBOOK

NBA sizes up Alexander, Oubre

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball players Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre Jr. were measured by NBA officials on Wednesday — the first day of this week’s Draft Combine in Chicago.

Oubre, who is projected to be selected No. 13 in the first round by Draftexpress.com and No. 11 by NBAdraft.net, measured 6-foot-63⁄4, 203 pounds in shoes. He was listed 6-7, 200 at KU. Alexander, who is projected to be chosen No. 27 in the first round by Draftexpress.com and No. 5 in the second round by NBAdraft.net, checked in at 6-81⁄2, 239 in shoes. He was listed 6-8, 240 at KU. Oubre in Chicago had a 7-21⁄4 wingspan and 8-61⁄2 reach, with 5.7 percent body fat. Alexander had a 7-31⁄2 wingspan and 9-11⁄2 reach, with 5.8 percent body fat. Oubre’s hand length was 9 inches and hand width 83⁄4 inches; Alexander’s hand length was 9.5 inches and width 101⁄4 inches. l

Oubre at P3: Oubre has spent the last four weeks working out with several other NBA Draft hope-

fuls at Peak Performance Project in Santa Barbara, California.

“I’m working on agility things, becoming faster, becoming a more wellrounded athlete,” the New Orleans native told Draftexpress.com.

“Pretty much every day we work on different things, getting stronger, upper body, working on my core so that when I do certain moves I can drive my hips more. It’s helping me be a stronger player and more aggressive on my attack moves.”

Oubre works out three times a day.

“It’s not much different (from training at KU),” Oubre told Draftexpress. com. “Andrea Hudy (KU) is one of the best strength coaches in the country.

She pretty much had us doing a lot of the mobility things we are doing at P3. It kind of translated a little bit. I can see some of the similarities that we did at Kansas here.

“I’m not taking days off and not taking short cuts, just focusing on my body, eating right, things like that. Those are things that will give me the edge, give me the step up on other athletes.”

Oubre, who averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 re-

bounds in his one season at KU, has high hopes for the June Draft.

“I want to go top-seven,” he said. “It’s definitely one of my goals. They have great players in this draft. No knock to anybody, but I feel I’m the hardest working guy in this draft because I have a chip on my shoulder.

I’ve always had a chip on my shoulder. I know the importance of this draft, the importance of people saying where I’m going to go. I want to prove people wrong. I have a lot of confidence in myself. I’m going to show everybody what they said I couldn’t do. That’s definitely my main motivation.”

Learning: Oubre on Wednesday told NBA. com he learned a lot in his one season at KU, one in which he played single-digit minutes in five of the first seven games, becoming a permanent starter in the 10th game.

“When I was sitting on the bench at Kansas it was pretty much opening up my eyes (to see) the world doesn’t revolve around myself,” he

score when no one covered first base.

While Brook Sumonja was one of the offensive catalysts for the Lions in their 11-hit attack, her older sister Megan was stifling the Firebirds from the circle. Megan shut out the Firebirds over the first five frames on her way to a complete-game threehitter and struck out nine with just four walks.

The LHS pitcher said pitching with a big lead early helped give her confidence.

“It’s a lot easier because there is less stress,” Megan said. “There’s not as much pressure.”

Then Brad, he can control his curveball in any count.”

The Lions (7-13) took a two-run lead in the first inning with two-out RBI singles from seniors Steven Garcia and Nyle Anderson. However, Free State junior lefty Trevor Munsch escaped a basesloaded jam by getting a strikeout to end the frame.

Free State (16-4, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A) tied it with runs in the first and third innings without hits.

In the first, sophomore Zion Bowlin reached on

New Mexico State, when the Jayhawks demolished the Aggies, 25-12, and the freshman joined teammates Stein, Chanin Naudin, Jessie Roane and Taylor McElhaney with a four-bagger.

KU junior Chaley Brickey, who leads the team with a .393 average and a .718 slugging percentage, remembers that game as the turning point for her young teammate.

“Every time we seem to be in a situation where we’re down a run or have runners on base,” said Brickey, who is second on KU with 55 RBIs, “she’s

LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE ANNIE GRAMMER, LEFT, GETS AN OUT on Free State junior Haley Jump during the Lions’ 8-3 victory Wednesday at LHS. The Firebirds were able to get to the Lions’ senior hurler for a run in the sixth and two more in the seventh, but LHS nullified the late charge with

three in the home half of the sixth to preserve the victory.

“That’s a very good team over there,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said of the cross-

an error and scored on an error. Spain drew a leadoff walk in the third inning, stole two bases and scored on a groundout.

“In the end, our inability to take care of the baseball is what cost us throughout the game,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said after his team committed four errors. “It wasn’t the last play of the game.”

The Lions added a run in the fourth inning for a brief lead when senior Zak McAlister reached on an error and scored on a double into the left-center gap from senior Nate Hulse.

Munsch, who picked up a scholarship offer from the University of Arkansas on Saturday, allowed three runs (two earned)

on seven hits while striking out four.

The Firebirds then brought in senior closer Casey Hearnen, who was lights-out with a strong curveball. He surrendered just one hit in 32⁄3 innings while striking out five.

“We swung the bats well,” Stoll said. “I thought our approach was great early. That kid is tough, man. Both of those kids are great arms.

I’m really glad Hearnen is a senior. I’m tired of seeing him.

“Some really good atbats, some hard contact.

We chart hard contacts, and we had a lot of them tonight. Just couldn’t get a big hit when we needed it.”

RBI COMPARISON A look at the runs batted in by Kansas University’s career record-holder (Maddie Stein) and two Jayhawks who have a chance to supplant her:

fr. soph. jr. sr. total Maddie Stein 20 49 40 41 150 Chaley Brickey 24 41 55 120 Daniella Chavez 65 65 seemed to be that person who comes through for us, and that’s really awesome.”

Last spring, when KU traveled to Missouri for its 2014 NCAA regional, the Jayhawks won their opener against Nebraska, but dropped their next two games against border rival Mizzou and the Huskers. Brickey thinks Chavez can be a difference-maker for the Kansas offense this time around.

“The clutch-ness,”

Brickey said. “I don’t think we had that type of player.”

Few Jayhawks appreciate Chavez’s pop as much as senior pitcher Alicia Pile (23-6, 2.90 ERA, 1881⁄3 innings pitched). The staff ace knows a game can change with one swing.

“It doesn’t matter if she just swung and looked dumb on a change-up,” Pille said. “The next pitch she just has the same face and is ready to go after it.

told NBA.com. “I have to abide by a team’s process, and pretty much I did so.

I just believe I can compete at the highest level.

My determination and my drive and my work ethic is second to none. I believe I can make a heavy impact at the next level.” l

Alexander looking good: ESPN’s Chad Ford watched Alexander participate in drills with Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker, Georgia State’s R.J. Hunter, Arkansas’ Bobby Portis, Wyoming’s Larry Nance Jr., Texas’ Jonathan Holmes and Gonzaga’s Kevin Pangos on Tuesday at University of Illinois-Chicago.

“We haven’t seen Alexander play since Feb. 23.

Kansas sat him down after the NCAA began investigating his family for receiving improper benefits.

The damage was twofold.

Not only did we not get to see Alexander play down the home stretch just as he was beginning to improve, but the investigation forced him into the draft before it was ideal.

Now teams are scrambling to figure out where he should go,” Ford wrote.

“Everyone knows he has a NBA body, crazy long arms and tries to

town Lions. “They swung the bat extremely well, they pitched extremely well, and they played defense. They had all three areas of the game.”

Two of the three hits for the Firebirds did go for extra bases. Emily Byers ripped a double to left-center in the fourth, and Haley Jump hit an RBI triple in the seventh.

Ice said that a big difference in the game was each team’s approach at the plate. The Lions were aggressive early in the count, while his Firebirds fell behind against Sumonja.

“She was getting firstpitch strikes,” Ice said of Sumonja. “Our firstpitch strikes, they were jumping on. Sophie Taylor, Morgan Byrn … all of them … our first-pitch strikes they were hitting.”

The Firebirds left the bases loaded twice and weren’t thrilled with the way they played.

“When you win, you have to find different ways to do it,” Hill said. “We’ve been doing it on pitching, defense and grittiness the last couple of weeks. If that’s the recipe that we have to have, if that’s the definition of who we are, then I’ll take it.”

Jayhawks honored: Chavez was named coFreshman of the Year, and four other Jayhawks were honored by the Big 12 on Wednesday.

Chavez shared her award with Oklahoma’s Paige Parker.

Chavez was named to the All-Big 12 first team, along with teammate Brickey, a junior shortstop. Stein was named to the second team.

Stein, Brickey and sophomore second baseman Taylor McElhaney were named to the Big 12’s All-Defensive Team, and Chavez and catcher Jessie Roane made the All-Freshman Team.

dunk everything. His length and motor are probably his two best characteristics. But after that, what sort of basketball player is he? What else does he bring to the table?

“One thing I saw in workouts here that I didn’t see much of at Kansas was a nice 10- to 15-foot jump shot Alexander was consistently knocking down in drills.

He rarely shot it from there at Kansas and the assumption was he didn’t have that sort of range.

But it was clear from the workouts he’s comfortable with that jump shot.

He’s in no way a stretch four, but there’s more there than meets the eye.” l

Washington on radar: Kyle Washington, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound sophomore forward from North Carolina State, has KU on his list of possible transfer destinations, Rivals.com reports.

Washington, a native of Champlin, Minnesota, is also considering Iowa State, West Virginia, Marquette, Arizona State, Butler, Cincinnati, Iowa, Providence and Xavier.

He was ranked No. 93 nationally in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com.

Taylor paced LHS with three hits. She was a home run short of the cycle.

The Lions and Firebirds will take the field again today to complete their regular seasons.

FSHS will hit the road to finish a suspended scoreless game against Olathe East, while Lawrence High will host Olathe North at 4 p.m.

pretty tough, especially on No. 6. It was tough to get it up there. It was just going all over the place.

I would get to one hole, in my face. Then I think I’m going with it, but next hole it’s in my face again.”

The LHS Invitational also served as the third and final leg of the Sunflower League tournament. The Firebirds finished in third place, despite struggling Wednesday when many of the scores were higher than usual at Alvamar.

Junior Jack Flynn, who shot a team-best 80 on Wednesday, took fifth in the league.

“That was kind of our goal,” FSHS coach Matt Gudenkauf said. “We were quite a ways out of second, but being realistic we knew that probably wasn’t going to happen. To make a comeback to get third in the Sunflower League is still a good achievement, even though I know they can play better than what they did.”

The Lions were sixth in the league.

“I was very happy.

Wow,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “We really played well, and we beat everybody in our regional, which means absolutely nothing today, but it does give you a little bit of confidence going into Monday.”

Both schools will compete in regionals at 9 a.m.

Monday at Alvamar.

Interleague Indians 2, Cardinals 0 Cleveland — Corey Kluber struck out 18 and allowed his only hit in the seventh inning, getting his first win this season in style.

The reigning AL Cy Young winner, Kluber (15) didn’t yield a hit until Jhonny Peralta grounded a clean single to center with two outs in the seventh. A small crowd of 12,313 on a crisp night at Progressive Field gave Kluber a warm ovation, and he finished the inning by striking out Jason Heyward.

Kluber’s 18 strikeouts tied the club record for a nine-inning game held by Hall of Famer Bob Feller (1938.) It’s also the most strikeouts by an AL pitcher since Roger Clemens in 1998.

Kluber, who didn’t walk a batter, had a chance to break the major-league mark of 20 strikeouts shared by Clemens and Kerry Wood, but he was pulled before the ninth after 113 pitches for closer Cody Allen, who gained his fifth save.

shapes and sizes, and once in a while, they should use a tall woman as a model. — Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Here’s the problem with catering to every shape and size: Retailers need to make money. They stock what sells. They can sell a great many things for those of average height and average size, and they have discovered a big market for plus-size women.

But apparently, there

A derivative but creepy Fox mystery Summer may be a month away, but Fox invites us to spend it in “Wayward Pines” (8 p.m.). Based on a series of novels by Blake Crouch and produced by M. Night Shyamalan (“The Sixth Sense”), “Pines” offers a new, if not terribly novel, way for viewers to get lost, or at least stuck, in a 10-episode mystery.

Secret Service agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon, “Crash”) arrives in the picturesque Idaho town while on a mission to locate two missing federal agents. A horrific car accident sends him to the hospital and his partner to his grave. Or so we think. Burke receives the tender mercies of sassy old-school nurse Pam (Melissa Leo). But when she provides more sedatives than answers, he escapes the rural hospital to discover a town awash with mysteries.

“Pines” will remind viewers of dozens of other movies and television series, from “The Twilight Zone,” “Lost,” “The Stepford Wives,” “The Truman Show,” “Twin Peaks” — even “The Returned.” Dillon is perfectly cast at the center of this head-scratcher. Stumbling through scenes like a punchdrunk palooka, he embodies the audience’s wonderment and confusion as he ponders the basic questions: What is this place? How did I get here?

Why can’t I leave? Is everybody as content as they appear, or is there darkness beneath the tranquility?

Given its aggressively derivative nature, “Pines” is probably best suited to a short run. Viewers got confused after the first season of “Twin Peaks” and felt a tad cheated by the end of “Lost.” More than one season stuck in “Wayward Pines” may be too much for most viewers to endure.

Tonight’s other highlights

A tragedy puts matters in perspective on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC).

Felix offers financial counseling to Oscar and his ex on “The Odd Couple” (7:30 p.m., CBS).

Mary targets Conde on “Reign” (8 p.m., CW).

Alfredo disappears on “Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS).

A case closes with lives changed on the season finale of “American Crime” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Movie producer George Lucas is 71. Actress Meg Foster is 67. Rock singer David Byrne is 63. Actress Cate Blanchett is 46. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is 31.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 14: This year you have the energy and support to zero in on one of your many desires. You could have one friend that pushes you so hard, to the point that squabbles often result. If you are single, the best part of getting to know someone is during the first few months.

If you are attached, the two of you enter an extremely romantic phase, in which you will act like new lovers.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have the ability to move through a lot of different errands and projects quickly.

Tonight: As you like it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be exhausted by news that is forthcoming. Lie low and manage a matter that is close to your heart. Tonight: Where the action is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Zero in on a key issue in a meeting, and you’ll discover what your associates’ views are.

Tonight: Among the crowds.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have the ability to move a boss or parent to a new way of thinking. Tonight: A must appearance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out for more information, and touch base with a loved one at a distance. Tonight:

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Ever playful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel as if someone is not supporting you in achieving a long-term desire.

Tonight: Be a duo.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to have a break from the hectic pace.

What you want and what you get could be a different story. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overtired.

You might wonder what would be best to do with regard to completing a project. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your fiery side emerges, and you will ask questions.

Surprises surround you. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tension emanates from a judgment that you are making of yourself. Know when to pull back.

Tonight: Fun and games.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are likely to say exactly what you want and think.

Add a touch of diplomacy. Tonight: Strut your stuff.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be exhausted and questioning your limits. You simply might be having an off day.

Tonight: Pay bills.

inability to cry at all is often a sign of depression, brain injury or illness and should be checked by a physician.

But if your problem is that you simply cannot cry at sad events where others are present, it’s more likely you have an inhibition against showing extreme emotion in front of others, something that may have been reinforced since childhood.

It doesn’t mean you aren’t sad, and you don’t need to apologize. How you display emotion at funerals is nobody’s business. If faking it would make your life easier, pull out a handkerchief and pretend to wipe your eyes now and then.

isn’t enough demand for clothes in your size.

That is why ordering things online has become such big business, and it’s a blessing for those who don’t fit into standard sizes and cannot afford to have their clothing or shoes custom made. Please don’t give up looking.

One of these days you will find an online store where the sizing works for you, and you won’t need to return everything.

Dear Annie: I am 91 years old and would like the ability to cry at a death or a funeral or anything sad. What is wrong with me? I feel that I should cry at these times and am hurt when others remark on it. — Paducah, Ky. Dear Paducah: Everyone responds differently to various emotional events. An

Dear Annie: I am a woman, 5-foot-10 and 240 pounds. I wear a size 12E men’s shoe. Why do retail stores discriminate against tall women?

They have petites, plussizes and juniors, while I am lucky to find a pair of pants anywhere, let alone something stylish.

I’m stuck between ugly and uglier. Retailers assume all overweight women are short and round. I’m a size 14, but clothing in that size is never long enough.

All I want is a plain T-shirt or a nice pair of jeans that I can try on in a store. I have to order everything online and pay for shipping. When it arrives, I discover it doesn’t fit, and I have to return it and wait a week to get my money back.

Please let retailers and designers know that women come in all
