Tax debate continues as furlough threat looms

Fitness fans rise and shine

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Senate on Monday shot down another tax proposal aimed at closing the state’s $400 million budget gap as the threat of having to furlough thousands of state employees looms on the horizon.

Sunday, June 7, marks the start of a new two-week pay period for state workers.

Checks for that pay period will go out after July 1, the LEGISLATURE start of the new fiscal year.

But without a budget, and a tax plan to fund it, state government will go into a partial shutdown in which all non-essential employees will be told to stay home.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s press secretary Eileen Hawley said Monday each state agency defines for itself which employees are considered “essential” and which ones are not. She said that’s based on what’s called a “Continuity of Operations Plan,” or COOP, that agencies have in place

300 jobs likely lost; proposal would locate police HQ at former mall Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

I

t sure looks like downtown Lawrence is set to lose about 300 jobs, and City Hall is about to get a new twist when it comes to the debate over how and where to build a new police headquarters building.

The ownership group of the former Riverfront Mall has confirmed that The Results Companies has provided notice that it will not renew its lease for a call center

that it operates in the building. The last information we had is that the call center employed about 300 people.

A spokesman for Floridabased The Results Companies declined to comment on the call center’s future, but did confirm the lease for the space expires at the end of August. The building’s owners began marketing the property for lease on Monday.

Full disclosure: The ownership group of the former mall is led by members of the Simons family, which owns the Journal-World and LJWorld.com.

“Our first thought is for the employees and the loss of jobs,” said Dan Simons, who leads the ownership group of the building. “This is a huge impact on those

Judicial budget sent to governor; critics call bill unconstitutional

House-passed marijuana bill dead for 2015; proponents say it would have saved $1.2M

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The failure of the Kansas Legislature to act this year on a bill easing penalties for marijuana possession was a missed opportunity that could have saved $1.2 million in the state budget, a Lawrence lawmaker said.

The bill passed the House, but it did so too late in the session to be considered by the Senate. The Legislature, which today enters

the 103rd day of a session that was supposed to last no more than 90 days, is largely focused on passage of a state budget and a tax plan to fund it.

Under current law, first-time marijuana possession is a Class A misdemeanor, while second and subsequent offenses are felonies. House Bill 2049 would have lowered first-time possession to a Class B misdemeanor Please see MARIJUANA , page 6A

Services for Oliver H. Helm, 82, Lawrence, will be 11 am, Wed, at Rumsey-Yost funeral home. Visitation tonight 6-8 pm. rumsey-yost.com

Dick corbin Richard “Dick” Lawrence Corbin, age 86, of Kissee Mills, Missouri, passed away Monday, March 16, 2015, at home.

He was born February 14, 1929, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Dick was the son of William J. and Mildred (Scribner) Corbin.

Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks.

Dick proudly served our country in both the United States Air Force and Navy during World War II, Korea and Viet Nam. He loved horses and discussing politics. He and Mary Ann enjoyed traveling in their RV. Dick was a Kansas Jayhawk basketball fan, as well as a St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles baseball fan. Bluegrass was his favorite music.

Most of all, Dick Corbin loved his family and they loved him. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Neal Corbin and Tom Corbin; as well as two sisters, Loretta Blaney and Jean Buppert.

Dick is survived by his loving wife Mary Ann (Pohl) Corbin of the home; two sons, Michael Corbin and wife Darlene of Millersville, Maryland, Jeff Corbin and wife Danielle of Mount Airy,

families, Lawrence and downtown Lawrence businesses. We will obviously try and find new tenants.”

But Simons said the loss of the call center will cause his group to put forward another proposal for the city to renovate the former Riverfront Mall into a police headquarters facility. With the pending loss of the call center, the western end of the former mall building now has 66,000 square feet of space available for purchase. The last report from a city-hired consulting firm estimated the police needed about 62,000 square feet of space.

Simons said the building is listed for sale at $5 million. Certainly, the city would have to spend several million dollars more on renovating the space, which is spread out over three floors. But, the latest cost estimate for a custom-built police headquarters is $26 million. That estimate includes covered parking for police vehicles. The Riverfront site is adjacent to a city-owned parking garage that could provide covered parking for police vehicles, if the city chose to designate the spots for that use. The land that the Riverfront building is located on already is owned by the city and is leased back to the building’s owners.

It will be interesting to see what the views of the new commission are regarding renovating an existing facility versus

A celebration of life with full military honors will be held Sunday, June 7, 2015, from 2:00-4:00 pm in Baldwin, Kansas. For directions please contact naturesdesign16@ sbcglobal.net.

building new. The previous commission was inclined to follow their consultant’s recommendation that a new, custom-built facility would be most efficient for the police department. But two major factors have changed since then: Three of the five city commissioners are new to the debate, and voters rejected a sales tax proposal to fund a new police headquarters.

At the moment, I don’t see three votes on the current commission to put forward another sales tax plan. Are commissioners willing to raise property taxes enough to cover $26 million in construction?

Legally, they could do so without putting the matter to a public vote, but would they? The answer to those questions are unclear. The other scenario being talked about is finding a way to restructure the city budget to pay for the $26 million project without a tax increase. But I’m hearing from some commissioners that they are concerned $26 million worth of restructuring will affect too many departments and too many city functions.

Commissioners are scheduled at their meeting today to discuss whether to create an ad hoc committee that would study the police headquarters issue and provide some recommendations by mid-November.

— This an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Lawrence voted no. Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, was absent.

That 2014 law stripped the Supreme Court of its long-standing authority to appoint chief judges and now requires chief judges to be elected by the other judges in the district.

This year’s budget bill includes a “nonseverability” provision that says if any part of the bill is declared invalid, then all parts of the bill, including funding for the courts, will also be invalid.

While nonseverability clauses have been used before, legislative staff have said they have never before been used to tie funding in one fiscal year to provisions of bills enacted in an earlier fiscal year.

That 2014 law is currently being challenged in Shawnee County District Court in a suit filed

by Judge Larry Solomon, chief judge of the 30th Judicial District in Kingman County. He argues that Article 3 of the Kansas Constitution gives the Supreme Court authority for the supervision of other courts in the state.

for events like severe blizzards or other kinds of emergencies.

Hawley estimated that the state currently employs about 35,000 people statewide. Among the largest groups of state workers are those employed at the six Regents universities, including Kansas University in Lawrence.

She said employees who are designated as essential can be ordered to report to work, even if there is not yet a budget in place to pay them.

Both the governor’s office and legislative leaders have said the possibility of mass furloughs happening next week is extremely remote.

The bill put forward Monday in the Senate had several elements — many of them elements that Brownback proposed during a news conference Saturday, including a higher overall sales tax rate, and an income tax exemption for an estimated 388,000 low-income tax filers.

But as they did Sunday night, Democrats divided the question, forcing senators to vote individually on each piece, starting with the more popular piece, exempting the low-income wage earners from income taxes.

But when senators had to vote just on the sales tax portion, it went down in defeat, 8-30.

It was a carefully orchestrated move by Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, who recalled how Democrats and moderate Republicans were attacked during the 2012 election cycle because they had voted for a temporary 1-cent sales tax increase in 2010.

Recalling a speech that Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, gave during the 2010 debate, Hensley said: “She talked about how a 1-cent sales tax increase would ruin the economy. It would be terrible for families. It was something that she was passionately opposed to.

And at that time, our economy was far different than

Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it was a matter of local control over local court budgets. He said chief judges have broad discretion about allocating court resources, and he said those decisions should be made at the local level instead of by the Supreme Court.

He said the issue has been particularly important in Sedgwick County where district court judges are elected locally in partisan elections.

Monday’s vote in the House came as lawmakers face a looming deadline June 7 to either pass a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, or face a partial shutdown of state government and the furlough of nonessential employees.

Rep. Blaine Finch, ROttawa, said it was improper to tie judicial funding to the outcome of a particular case.

“Friends, if any of you were to walk into a courtroom and offer the judge, ‘I’ll make your next house payment if you decide my case this way,’ I’ll tell you where you’d end up. It’d be in the little room with the bars, and you’d stay there for a long time. It’s called bribery,” Finch said.

it is today. At that time, our economy was in a tremendous downturn.”

“Now with the economy far different, we’re being asked to support an eighttenths of a cent sales tax increase,” he said. “It’s not to fill in a revenue shortfall caused by downturn in the economy. It’s to fill in a shortfall that was caused by a failed economic experiment that’s been imposed on this state and this legislature. … And what I don’t understand is why we cannot acknowledge what the real problem is.”

Senate Republican Leader Terry Bruce, of Hutchinson, however, said the public supports the GOP tax policy of lowering income taxes, especially on businesses, and shifting the state toward more reliance on “consumption” taxes such as sales tax and excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol.

“We’ve since had two elections based on the higher consumption, lower income tax formula, and Republicans have been very successful in both those efforts,” he said.

“And I think if we keep marching towards zero income tax, we’ll continue to have success at the polls.”

Brownback has told lawmakers that he will veto proposals that have been floated in the Legislature to reverse course on part of the 2012 tax plan by reimposing income taxes on the nonwage, “pass through” income of business owners.

But even some Republicans have insisted that some kind of tax on nonwage income needs to be part of this year’s package.

“I really don’t give a damn what the governor thinks,” Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, said during a GOP caucus meeting Monday. “If the governor doesn’t want to admit we have a problem, let’s get out of here and let him solve it.”

But Bruce said it’s been hard enough finding the 21 votes needed in the Senate, and 63 in the House, just to pass a tax measure.

“If the governor vetoes something, our numbers have to go up,” he said.

That’s because it takes 27 votes in the Senate, and 84 in the House, to override a veto.

L awrence J ournal -W orld “And if you also went up to the judge and said, ‘Don’t decide this case my way, I’ll come over to your house and steal something from you,’ that would be extortion and you’d also go to jail,” he said.

Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, said lawmakers were being forced to choose “between expediency and principle,” because without the funding bill, the courts could be forced to close as early as next week.

“But I’m going to vote for the separation of powers, because I think it’s more important than to keep the doors open next week at the courthouse,” Carmichael said.

But others, including Rep. Steve Becker, RBuhler, said it was more important to keep the courthouse doors open than to fight over the clause linking funding to a favorable court ruling.

“That battle is something that looms in the future,” he said. “We can fight that when it comes up. What we have to do is fund the judiciary so they can keep the lights on next week.”

The House, meanwhile, has not taken up a tax bill in several days while it waits to see what happens in the Senate.

Late last week, the House and Senate agreed to an unusual procedure by putting what was basically an empty shell of a tax bill into a conference committee, thus allowing a small group of lawmakers — the top two Republicans and one Democrat from each of the tax-writing committees — to negotiate a package that would be sent to the full chambers for straight up or down votes.

GOP leaders in both chambers said that was meant to avoid contentious floor debates in which various factions offer symbolic amendments that are meant only to force opposing factions into casting recorded votes on unpopular positions, the very process that the Senate is now going through anyway.

Student reportedly dies of meningitis; not believed to have contracted it at KU

By Sara Shepherd

The university now requires all students living in on-campus housing to be vaccinated A Kansas University for meningitis.

Twitter: @saramarieshep

student who died this weekend, reportedly of meningitis, had not been on campus in recent weeks and did not contract the disease there, KU health officials said.

Haley Drown, a Leawood resident, died at a Kansas City area hospital of what a family member said was meningitis, according to Kansas City television reports.

Drown had just completed her freshman year at KU and lived in Corbin Hall, university spokeswoman Erinn BarcombPeterson said.

Douglas Dechairo, director and chief of staff at KU’s Watkins Health Services, said he had been in contact with local health

department officials but that the health department in Johnson County, where Drown lived, was taking the lead on confirming the diagnosis and investigating whether others were exposed.

Move-out day for Corbin and other residence halls was May 15, so it’s been more than two weeks since Drown was on campus, Dechairo said.

The incubation period for most meningitis cases is four days, or 10 days at the most, he said, so “it’s well past the incubation period.”

Barbara Mitchell, pub-

lic information officer for the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment, said Monday afternoon she could not confirm information about the patient or the case. Mitchell said the department was awaiting test results and hoped to release more information today.

Meningitis is a disease characterized by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, according to the CDC. There are several varieties of meningitis, but bacterial meningitis is the

most severe and can be life-threatening.

The last case of a student with bacterial meningitis on the KU campus was that of Pearson Scholarship Hall resident Andy Marso in 2004, Dechairo said. KU implemented its meningitis policy the following year. The university now requires all students living in on-campus housing to be vaccinated for meningitis.

Marso, who survived, although with damage to his limbs, recently released a book about his experience, “Worth the Pain: How Meningitis Nearly Killed Me — Then Changed My Life for the Better.”

High-speed police pursuit leads to Johnson County

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Lawrence police engaged in a high-speed chase on Kansas Highway 10 after a vehicle failed to stop for a Lawrence officer early Monday morning.

Just before 4 a.m., a Lawrence police officer attempted to stop an eastbound vehicle traveling around 75 mph near the intersection of 23rd Street and Haskell Avenue, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The driver of the vehicle failed to pull over in the 45 mph speed zone and instead began accelerating, continuing east on K-10, McKinley said.

A Douglas County sheriff’s deputy assisted near Eudora, deploying “spike strips,” which puncture tires, McKinley said. Two of the vehicle’s tires struck the spike strips, but the vehicle continued driving.

The pursuit continued through Johnson County, where other agencies assisted.

The pursuit ended near Interstate 435, where the vehicle went north, McKinley said.

Lawrence police asked that the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department aid in finding the vehicle and driver, as the vehicle was registered in Kansas City, Mo., McKinley said.

As of Monday night the suspect has not been apprehended, according to Sgt. Ted Bordman.

Jenkins intern charged after taking handgun to Capitol

By Lindsay Wise Associated Press

Washington — U.S. Capitol Police arrested a 25-year-old intern for U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas on Monday after, they say, he brought an unloaded 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun into a congressional office building.

Joshua Wheeler, of Atchison, has been charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an un-

registered firearm, police said.

Police discovered the weapon during a search when Wheeler tried to enter an entrance of the Longworth House Office Building at New Jersey and C streets near the U.S. Capitol at about 9 a.m. on Monday. The office building connects to the Capitol via underground tunnels and a subway system. All those who enter must pass through a metal detector and put their bags

Q:

Where are former Kansas University Athletic Director Lew Perkins and former football coach Charlie Weis now?

A:

Perkins continues to make his home in Lawrence and remains active in college athletics through various consulting opportunities with colleges and universities across the country.

He also is a member of Lawrence Country Club’s board of directors.

After being fired by KU four games into the 2014 season, Weis returned to South Bend, Ind., where he previous-

ly coached Notre Dame football from 2005-2009 and started the Hannah & Friends foundation for his teenage daughter Hannah and people like her who have special needs. The 2015 season will mark the first since 1978 in which Weis was not involved in coaching. His son, Charlie Jr., recently accepted a position with Alabama as an offensive consultant.

Omaha, Neb. (ap) — Slower economic growth is likely through the end of the third quarter this year for nine Midwestern and Plains states, according to a report issued Monday.

The survey report says the overall MidAmerica Business Conditions Index dropped to 50.4 last month from 52.7 in April. Survey organizers have said any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, said “firms linked to en-

ergy and agriculture are experiencing pullbacks in economic activity.”

“Job growth in Oklahoma and North Dakota, two energy-producing states, has moved into negative territory,” Goss said. And states dependent on agriculture also are experiencing slower economic growth, which Goss said could slacken even further in the next few months.

The survey results from supply managers were compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,

Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

Looking ahead six months, economic optimism, as reflected by the May business confidence index, declined to 58.3 from April’s 61.5.

“Weak regional and national growth has pushed supply managers to lower their expectations about future economic conditions,” Goss said.

On the trade front, the survey report said the new export orders index slid to 50.0 from 53.5 in April. The import index for May rose to a still weak 48.8 from April’s 46.8.

Tax impacts Kansas legislators are concerned about liquor and cigarette taxes driving shoppers across state lines, but what about the impact of increased sales tax?

W

hen you look at the numbers, it’s hard to understand why many Kansas legislators are hesitant to increase so-called “sin taxes” on cigarettes and liquor while actively advocating for increases in the state sales tax.

In his initial budget plan unveiled in January, Gov. Sam Brownback called for increasing the state liquor tax from the current 8 percent to 12 percent, and nearly tripling the state cigarette tax to $2.29 per pack, compared with the current 79 cents per pack. Neither proposal got much traction in the Legislature although smaller cigarette tax increases have been part of several plans to close the state’s remaining $400 million budget gap.

One of the major objections legislators have to the liquor and cigarette taxes is the contention that Kansas businesses will suffer because more Kansans will cross state borders to buy those products in states with lower taxes.

At the same time, however, Kansas legislators continue to float various proposals to increase the state’s sales tax. Some of those proposals include a reduction in the sales tax on food, some don’t, but there seems to be little concern for the fact that a higher sales tax could drive Kansas shoppers across state borders to purchase a whole range of products, not just liquor and cigarettes.

According to Kansas City news reports back in January, a carton of cigarettes costs about $5 more in Kansas than in Missouri, which charges a tax of just 17 cents per pack. Raising the Kansas tax to $2.29 per pack would raise that differential to about $20 per carton. The liquor tax was a slightly different story.

The combined state and local sales taxes collected in some parts of Missouri already exceed the current 8 percent Kansas tax on liquor. Even if the Kansas tax were raised to 12 percent, retailers said, prices in Kansas would remain fairly competitive although the perception of cheaper prices probably would benefit Missouri businesses.

So increased cigarette and liquor taxes might drive some consumers across the state line, but what about the impact of overall sales tax increases? The current sales tax in Kansas is 6.15 percent, compared to 4.225 percent in Missouri.

However, Kansas is one of just seven states in the nation that collect their full sales tax amount on groceries. (Five of those states, including Kansas, provide tax rebates or credits for food sales taxes for those who qualify. In Kansas the only option is an income tax credit.) By contrast, Missouri collects a sales tax of just 1.225 percent on food items that could be purchased with Food Stamps.

Buying liquor and cigarettes arguably is optional, but everyone has to eat.

How many Kansas shoppers already cross state lines to buy their groceries?

Even on big-ticket items like appliances or electronics, the difference between Missouri’s 4.225 percent and Kansas’ 6.15 percent could be significant.

Why aren’t legislators worried about that? Are they being more influenced by liquor lobbyists than by concern for Kansas shoppers headed to the supermarket?

It’s just one of the questions hanging over the Kansas Legislature as its members struggle to put together a budget package that’s acceptable both to a majority of its members and to the governor.

Business opportunities slim in Cuba President Barack Obama’s historic normalization talks with Cuba have brought about a lot of excitement in business circles, and hardly a day goes by without new reports of U.S. investors, lawyers and entrepreneurs flocking to the island. But I’m afraid most of them will lose their shirts there.

A dispassionate look at Cuba’s reality shows that, despite all the hoopla about last week’s U.S. removal of Cuba from its list of terrorist nations, which opened the way for re-establishment of full diplomatic relations between the two countries and international loans, Cuba remains one of the most backward countries in Latin America.

And it will take many years to get its economy back to life.

Yes, Obama’s opening to Cuba is by and large a good idea. And, granted, there will be opportunities in the tourism industry to build new hotels. But the scope of these business opportunities will be much more limited than the Obama administration — eager for a foreign policy legacy-setting victory in the aftermath of its Middle East failures — is leading us to believe.

Consider the facts: First, Cuba’s gross national income per capita, although nearly impossible to measure because the island does not measure its economy by international standards, is estimated by the World Bank at $5,800 a year. That’s almost three times less than Chile’s per capita income of more than $15,000 a year, and way

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

… the scope of these business opportunities will be much more limited than the Obama administration … is leading us to believe.” below Latin America’s average of $9,500 a year, according to World Bank figures.

Cuba’s average wage is about $20 a month (yes, you read right, a month.) That will make it very hard for average Cubans to buy more imported goods, wherever they come from.

Second, Cuba’s population of 11 million has an average age of about 40, one of the oldest in Latin America, because of few births and massive migration. That will make it hard for Cuba to become a magnet for investments in factories or outsourcing services.

While other Latin American countries will benefit from young populations in coming years, Cuba’s demographic scene is likely to worsen.

In a recent report titled

“Big fuss, small market,” John Price, managing director of the Americas Market Intelligence consulting firm in Miami, argued that “if East Germany is any guide to what may happen next in Cuba, an additional two million Cubans would leave the island within five years of an end to travel restrictions.”

He added, “Most of those anxious to leave will be the best educated working-age adults who can pursue higher wages and better opportunities abroad. Cuba will become a nation of elderly, with limited growth prospects.”

Third, despite Obama’s executive orders to open up tourism and some investments to Cuba, only the U.S. Congress can lift the full U.S. commercial embargo on the island, and that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.

Even if some Republican legislators from Midwestern farm states support lifting the U.S. embargo, the prevailing mood within Republicans in Congress will be to deny Obama a vote that would allow him to set a foreign policy legacy as the U.S. president who “opened up” Cuba, much like Nixon “opened up” China.

“I don’t see the U.S. embargo lifted while Obama is in office,” Price told me.

“I doubt that anything will happen within the next two or three years.”

Fourth, despite a big influx of dollars from U.S. tourism and family remittances, Cuba is threatened with a worsening economic crisis if Venezuela can’t

keep up with its oil subsidies to the island. That may delay Cuba’s economic resurgence further.

Fifth, Cuba lacks an independent judiciary to protect investors’ rights, as so many Spanish and Canadian business people have learned the hard way. And that’s not likely to change anytime soon.

In a recent interview, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker told me that even though Cuba is a small economy, the Cuban people are entrepreneurial, and have a great economic potential.

“It’s a beginning, you have to start. And by starting, things will evolve,” she said.

My opinion: Maybe so. But for the time being, as Florida International University business professor Jerry Haar has rightly — and only half-jokingly — commented, the most profitable businesses dealing with Cuba will be those that put together conferences and seminars on doing business in Cuba.

Obama did the right thing in starting normalization talks with Cuba’s military dictatorship, although he should be much more forthright in demanding basic freedoms on the island. But the administration should tone down its claims that the U.S.-Cuba honeymoon will lead to political and economic changes on the island, and to great business opportunities for foreign companies. It won’t, at least in the near future.

Go local on art To the editor: Although Lawrence prides itself on supporting local business and industry, large artist commissions for the East Ninth Project (formerly known as the 9th Street Corridor Project) will most likely go to artists living outside of Lawrence. According to recommendations given in a draft by the design team hired by the city, local artists will compete with a national search. A committee led by the design team will choose artists.

There are many Lawrence and regional artists who have experience creating major installations across the country.

Local artists are a valuable resource to this project because they are a member of the community and are responsive to the needs of the neighborhood.

Boosting the local economy and its artists are intended outcomes for the project on Ninth Street. Approval of this plan should include hiring local artists for this project.

Poor service To the editor: One day, Mr. and Mrs. Kansas Electorate took their car to the Republican Garage for service. It seems the car was running a bit slow. Mr. Brownback, the chief mechanic, determined the car would run faster if it was lighter. He suggested removing that heavy thing in the front known as an “engine.”

That did indeed lighten the car, which made it easier for the Mr. and Mrs. to push, but they wanted it to

run under its own power. Democratic Garage mechanics asked if they could have a try at fixing the car, but loyal Mr. and Mrs. Kansas Electorate stayed with the Republican Garage.

Puzzled that his strategy didn’t work, though not admitting it, Mr. B consulted with his other mechanics. Some suggested putting the starter motor back. Others, who thought even more lightening would do the trick, wanted to remove the tires. Losing that weight would surely make the car go.

Alas, they argue still, and the car is stuck to this day. Mr. and Mrs. Kansas Electorate have already had their credit downgraded, since their transportation is no longer reliable, and now it looks like the Republican Garage is charging them extra for parking and storage — about $43,000 per day.

Think the mister and missus have learned anything? One can only hope.

Not faculty To the editor: We read with interest Dolph Simons Jr.’s Saturday Column supporting the Koch brothers’ blatant flouting of Kansas’ sunshine laws. The defender of the principle of academic freedom is the American Association of University Professors. There is a simple reason why the AAUP state conference and the Kansas University chapter staunchly support the KU administration’s adherence to Kansas’ sunshine laws: Director Hall is not a rank-and-file faculty member.

He is an administrator. His position description and title are those of an admin-

istrator — containing not a single word related to teaching. As an administrator, his professional correspondence with external funding agents is subject to scrutiny by the people.

He has never been evaluated by faculty members according to standards of faculty performance because he is not faculty. He was a direct hire without a competitive search and no unit-level vetting. He is part of no department and answerable only to the next administrator higher up. He has served far more than the probationary seven years fulltime and yet has not been forced to go up for tenure or leave — indicating definitively that he is an … administrator.

He has skillfully confused many by claiming “academic freedom” protections consistent with those earned by rank-and-file faculty, but he refuses to subject himself to the responsibilities of faculty status, which includes annual reviews by learned faculty. If anyone still erroneously believes that he is rank-andfile faculty, then ask: “When is his Kansas Board of Regents-mandated posttenure review scheduled?” The answer, of course, will be: “never.” Indicating irrefutably that he is an … administrator.

The commission expected to save an additional $788,986 on a state-paid substance abuse treatment program because an estimated 184 participants would not have to enroll if they were misdemeanor instead of felony offenders.

Emily Grantham, KU student, Lawrence “I think long-distance relationships are good for people who have been together and know they want to be together.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t say it’s practical.”

‘Missed opportunity’ While the bill had a number of supporters, evidenced by its passing the House 81 to 36, Lawrence Democrat Rep. Boog Highberger said the House waited too long to act on the bill for it to feasibly pass through the Senate.

Highberger, who sits on the House committee that sponsored the bill, said the House leadership wanted to wait to act on the bill until after the April 7 vote in Wichita, where voters decided on an initiative to decriminalize first-time marijuana possession.

“The Republican Senate turned down an opportunity to save $1.2 million (after other costs are factored in) from the state budget,” Highberger said.

Joan Ludwig, Opponents such as Toretired, peka Republican Rep. Dick Lawrence Jones worried the bill would “They could be difficult be “a foot in the door” to full and don’t often work out, but there are some legalization, according to The Associated Press. But exceptions.”

Highberger said the bill’s financial and prison-capacity benefits to the state should outweigh legalization anxiety.

and Senate negotiators who drafted the final version of a bill for helping victims of human trafficking to insert the marijuana proposals.

But Republican Sen. Jeff King, of Independence, said putting those proposals into the human trafficking measure would violate the state constitution’s requirement that each bill have only one subject.

Packed prisons In addition to saving money, the sentencing commission said, the bill would help the state save room in packed prisons. It estimated that 46 beds would open up if second-offense marijuana possession were no longer a felony. Last month the Kansas Department of Corrections reported that state prisons are over capacity by 155 people.

Lawrence criminal defense attorney John Frydman said he’d always thought the Legislature “wouldn’t change the penalty (on marijuana) until it hits the state’s pocketbook.”

And while he thinks it’s the potential money-saving properties of the bill that pushed it past the House “rather than the humanitarian fact that we’re imprisoning people for nonviolent crimes,” he said the bill’s near success is encouraging.

“Felonies should be reserved for someone who is truly a danger to the community,” Frydman said. “It’s great that some movement toward sanity is occurring.”

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said he has recently begun to look at marijuana prosecution policies in Chicago, Brooklyn and Seattle that have de-emphasized jail in favor of treatment.

“If there are appropriate treatment options, then I think those should be explored over costly incarceration,” Branson said.

Hemp oil The fact that the bill hit a roadblock is “so frustrating, it’s heartbreaking,” said Democratic Rep. John Wilson, of Lawrence. Wilson has pursued the legalization of hemp oil since 2014 after speaking with constituents who moved to neighboring Colorado to obtain such treatments for their son, who suffers from a seizure disorder.

To get traction for his proposal in the GOPdominated House, Wilson lobbied hard and swayed many Republican lawmakers behind the scenes because of his willingness to narrow the scope of the bill and incorporate their concerns, said Republican Rep. Dan Hawkins, of Wichita.

The bill gained the bulk of the House’s 97 Republican votes to be sent to the Senate.

The Supreme Court defended free speech on the Internet Monday, even when it comes to an angry, self-styled rapper whose rants made his wife, co-workers and others fear for their lives.

Language such as “Hell hath no fury like a crazy man in a kindergarten class” is only criminal, the justices ruled, if it’s intended as a threat — not if it’s merely negligent.

But the 8-1 decision, written with several references to rap lyrics by Chief Justice John Roberts, came with caveats that made it just a temporary reprieve for the Pennsylvania man who served 44 months in prison for his postings.

And it did not apply more broadly to other free speech cases, because it was based on a specific criminal statute, not the First Amendment.

Still, it represented at least a small victory for Anthony Elonis and those like him whose threatening words on Facebook or similar social media sites may instill fear in their targets. It was hailed by free-speech advocates and panned by crime victims’ groups.

The case represented a critical test of free speech in the Internet age, when words that seem threatening emanate from violent spouses and video gameplayers alike. The justices were seeking a rule that could result in locking up the former while letting the latter off the hook.

Elonis’ case offered a perfect test. After his wife, Tara, left him and took their two children, he lost his job at an Allentown, Pa., amusement park and began a series of dark Facebook posts containing explicit references to violence against his wife, coworkers, kindergartners, police and the FBI. The question that has split federal appeals courts is whether the threats must be intentional, or whether they are illegal just because a “reasonable person” — such as those on the receiving end — takes them seriously. Elonis was convicted under the latter standard; a majority of justices ruled that’s not sufficient.

Elonis might not be off the hook, however. The high court’s ruling means his case will be sent back to a federal appeals court to determine whether he meant what he posted or was at least reckless in posting it.

tion, are poised to spark the most serious debate over national security and foreign policy that the GOP has held in decades.

Graham, a hawk in the tradition of John McCain and Ronald Reagan, sees the United States as

the indisputable leader in maintaining world order. “Ronald Reagan’s policy of peace through strength kept America safe during the Cold War,” he said at his announcement speech in his hometown of Central, S.C. “But I have come to conclude we will never enjoy peaceful coexistence with radical Islam because its followers intend to destroy our way of life. ... Security through strength will protect us.”

Among other things, he supports deploying 10,000 U.S. troops to Iraq to help counter the rise of the self-proclaimed Islamic State and stepping up sanctions against Iran. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

U.S., allies to meet amid signs ISIL strategy is faltering Pentagon considering other options Jim Michaels USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The United States and its allies will meet in Paris today to discuss ways to counter Islamic State militants amid mounting signs that the current strategy is faltering.

The meeting comes as Iraq’s ground forces backed by coalition airstrikes are struggling to retake Ramadi, a key Sunni city that fell last month to the Islamic State,

also known as ISIL or ISIS. U.S. leaders say their strategy remains sound, but they are considering making adjustments that might more quickly boost the ability of Iraq’s security forces.

“The strategy is very clear and makes perfect sense,” Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told BBC World News. He said the Pentagon is examining ways “to increase our enabling of Iraqi forces.”

The Pentagon has described the military debacle in Ramadi as a setback but said it won’t knock the current strategy off-course.

Even so, President Obama is coming under pressure to do

more to help Iraq’s armed forces and stem the expansion of the militants, who have seized swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who announced Monday that he

will run for president, has advocated bolstering the U.S. presence in Iraq to 10,000 troops. Currently there are about 3,000 in Iraq, including 600 advisers and trainers.

In Iraq, Obama has ruled out placing U.S. troops in roles that would expose them to combat for fear of getting dragged back into a war there.

The current Pentagon strategy is designed to strengthen Iraq’s government and unify the country. On the ground, however, the war looks increasingly like a sectarian conflict between Shiites, who comprise a majority in Iraq, and Sunnis, who dominate in areas controlled by the militants, also Sunnis.

Shiite militias, including some who receive support from Iran, continue to operate throughout the country, the Pentagon said.

Muslim woman wins job dispute

Koch urges action on clemency cases

Ruling boosts employees who claim religious bias Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that companies cannot discriminate against job applicants or employees for religious reasons, even if an accommodation is not requested.

The decision was a victory for workers who want to exercise their religion on the job, from their wardrobe to transportation to time off. The court gave Samantha Elauf, a Muslim girl denied a job in 2008, another chance to make her case.

It was a setback for preppy clothier Abercrombie & Fitch, which refused to hire Elauf at the time because she was wearing a black hijab, or head scarf. It has since changed its policies.

And it could have major implications in the future for other job applicants and employees who seek time off for religious observances, as well as those who adhere to strict dress codes.

Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the 8-1 decision for a near-unanimous court, save for Justice Clarence Thomas’ dissent. Scalia reasoned that even if the clothier did not know Samantha Elauf’s religion, its suspicion still motiWASHINGTON

Samantha Elauf, right, and her mother Majda Elauf stand outside the Supreme Court after oral arguments Feb. 25. vated the decision to deny her a job.

“The rule for disparate-treatment claims based on a failure to accommodate a religious practice is straightforward,” Scalia wrote.

“An employer may not make an applicant’s religious practice, confirmed or otherwise, a factor in employment decisions.”

The ruling continued the high court’s practice of providing legal protection for religious beliefs and customs. In recent years, it has allowed employers with religious objections to avoid covering some forms of birth control, upheld the practice of opening local government meetings with a prayer and allowed a Muslim inmate to keep his beard in prison.

That history put Abercrombie & Fitch’s former ‘look policy’ for sales associates on thin ice. During oral arguments in February, both liberal and conservative justices refused to believe the company’s insistence that Elauf, 17 at the time, was turned down simply because of the head scarf, not her faith.

In his dissent, however, Thomas defended the company, claiming that its “neutral look policy” did not constitute intentional discrimination.

The court’s decision — hailed

by virtually all religious groups, from Baptists to Jews to Sikhs — could have implications for religious minorities’ job opportunities as well as companies’ hiring practices.

“We welcome this historic ruling in defense of religious freedom at a time when the American Muslim community is facing increased levels of Islamophobia,” said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations.

Businesses, on the other hand, claim that requiring them to cater to all religious minorities’ observances is an undue hardship.

“Shifting this burden to employers sets an unclear and confusing standard, making business owners extremely vulnerable to inevitable discrimination lawsuits,” said Karen Harned, director of the small business legal center at the National Federation of Independent Business.

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

The ban on religious discrimination includes observances and practices, unless an employer can’t accommodate them.

Rand Paul taps into Republicans’ ‘fringe’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Paul, a leader of the GOP’s libertarian wing, advocates a more limited role for the U.S. military around the world as well as a more constrained federal government at home. Sunday, he blocked immediate Senate passage of the USA Freedom Act, which would extend the collection of bulk telephone data on millions of Americans.

“The people who argue that the world will end and we will be overrun by jihadists are trying to use fear,” he said on the Senate floor. “Little by little, we’ve allowed our freedom to slip away.”

Among Democrats, there is an equally wide divide on some foreign policy issues, including trade. President Obama is pushing for a trade deal among a dozen Pacific Rim nations that is opposed by most of his fellow Democrats in the House and Senate. Presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has avoided taking a clear stance on the pact.

For Democrats, debates over

national security are familiar.

Backing for the Iraq War was a major issue in the last contested nomination battle, in 2008, between Obama and Clinton. Splits between hawks and doves have been a recurring theme in the Democratic Party for decades, since the Vietnam War. Though some prominent Republicans opposed the Vietnam War, since then, the GOP’s presidential candidates have reflected a broad consensus in the party that includes support for free trade and a willingness to deploy American troops abroad.

Rand Paul’s father, former Texas congressman Ron Paul, espoused libertarian views in his presidential bids in 2008 and 2012. “There’s been a libertarian bent, a ‘bring-the-boys home’ kind of fringe element in the Republican Party that Rand Paul is tapping,” says Peter Feaver, director of Duke’s Triangle Institute for Security Studies and a former National Security Council aide.

That said, Ron Paul was never taken seriously as a prospective

nominee. Rand Paul is.

The Kentucky senator has moderated some of his views to move toward the GOP mainstream and counter charges that

he is an isolationist. He no longer calls for deep cuts in the defense budget and says he wouldn’t eliminate foreign aid to Israel.

Paul is significantly more cautious than Graham and others in the party when it comes to deploying U.S. troops, spending on foreign aid, backing NSA surveillance of Americans and supporting the use of drone strikes.

Last week, he blamed fellow Republicans for fueling the rise of the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. “ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately, and most of those arms were snatched up by ISIS,” he said on MSNBC. “They created these people.”

That brought rebukes from several in the prospective 2016 field, which is more aligned with Graham than with Paul. “It has become impossible to imagine a President Paul defeating radical Islam, and it’s time for the rest of us to say it,” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared.

IN BRIEF ANTHRAX FLAP SPREADS TO CANADA, OFFICIALS SAY

The Pentagon has learned that additional samples of live anthrax were sent to three laboratories in Canada, two Defense officials confirmed Monday evening.

That means that specimens of the deadly Bacillus anthracis have been sent to labs in 12 states, the District of Columbia and three countries. The samples came from the U.S. Army lab at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Scientists there thought they had been shipping inactive strains of the deadly spores for research purposes.

If inhaled, anthrax spores can be lethal even with treatment, sparking a high fever and other flu-like symptoms. Biosafety expert Richard Ebright at Rutgers University has branded the blunder “gross negligence.”

Nobody has been sickened, said a senior Defense Department official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The Senate on Monday was inching toward final passage of a bill that would restore portions of the Patriot Act while ensuring that the National Security Agency ends its bulk collection of the phone data of millions of Americans.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said senators would vote on the bipartisan USA Freedom Act “as soon as we can.”

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., said he hopes the Senate can pass the bill by 3 p.m. today and send it to the House for final passage.

However, House Judiciary Committee leaders said they oppose proposed amendments being considered by the Senate.

Senators voted 77-17 on Sunday night to end debate on the USA Freedom Act, which the House approved May 13. However, Senate leaders could not reach a deal by midnight Sunday to stop the expiration of the Patriot Act. — Erin Kelly

Graham told USA TODAY’s Capital Download last month that Clinton would be a stronger representative of U.S. interests than Paul would — fighting words in the GOP. Paul has called Graham and McCain “lapdogs” for Obama’s foreign policy. (He wasn’t the first to turn to animal imagery in the debate: McCain called Paul and his ilk “wacko birds.”) While Paul spoke last week on the Senate floor about the Patriot Act, C-SPAN cameras caught Graham seated just in front of him, rolling his eyes.

More fighting words are likely to follow.

NATION/WORLD MEDICARE

Centers rank highest-paid providers Some of those who shared $89 billion face legal action

Meghan Hoyer, Laura Ungar and Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

More than 950,000 health care providers collectively received more than $89 billion in Medicare payments in 2013, according to government data released Monday.

This includes $17 billion for drugs administered and $72 billion for medical services. In 2012, total spending was nearly $90 billion, but there were 25,000 fewer providers.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the

data for the second year on medical services doctors provided and how much they were paid through Medicare, the government health insurance program for the elderly and disabled.

The data examine Medicare “Part B,” reflecting the fees for services paid to doctors treating roughly 34 million people. They do not include billing under the Medicare Advantage program.

The doctor who received the most from Medicare was Anne Greist, who co-founded the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombrosis Center in 1998. Greist received more than $28 million, but $27.9 million of it was simply passed through her to pharmaceutical companies for expensive drugs.

Greist is also co-medical director and adult hematologist at the center, which is at the St. Vincent

Hospital campus in Indianapolis.

It is Indiana’s only hemophilia center.

“There are other physicians who see these patients, but Dr. Greist is the lead patient care coordinator and, as such, is the more frequent prescriber,” says Nancy Hoard, the center’s executive director.

The second-ranked recipient is facing legal troubles. In January, the Justice Department joined whistle-blower lawsuits that alleged physician Asad Qamar of Ocala, Fla., and his Institute for Cardiovascular Excellence performed excessive and unnecessary procedures on Medicare patients. He received more than $16 million in 2013 but only a very small amount for drugs.

One of the lawsuits alleges Qamar got patients to undergo the

Qamar did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment but did address the allegations in a video he posted on YouTube.

Third on the list was Salomon Melgen of West Palm Beach, Fla., an ophthalmologist who received $14.4 million in Medicare fee-forservice payments and $7.7 million

for medical services, according to the CMS data.

In April, federal prosecutors charged Melgen, along with Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., with participating in a long-running bribery scheme. Menendez was charged with using his office to benefit Melgen in exchange for nearly $1 million in gifts and campaign contributions, according to prosecutors.

From 2006 to 2013, court documents said, Melgen lavished gifts on Menendez, and he “used the power of his Senate office to influence the outcome of ongoing contractual and Medicare billing disputes worth tens of millions of dollars,” court records show.

Monday, a woman in Melgen’s Florida office said no one would be able to comment on his behalf by deadline.

Brain imaging of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were caught near roadside bomb explosions shows degeneration, VA study says Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

V

A scientists have discovered signs of early aging in the brains of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans caught near roadside bomb explosions, even among those who felt nothing from the blast.

Years after coming home from war, veterans are showing progressive damage to the brain’s wiring, according to a study published online Monday in Brain, A Journal of Neurology.

“Generally, as we age, the connections (in the brain) deteriorate. But with those people with blast exposure it appears as though it’s happening faster,” said Benjamin Trotter, a bio-medical engineer with the Department of Veterans Affairs and lead author of the study.

Regina McGlinchey, a Harvard Medical School professor of psychology, VA scientist and study co-author, said the concern is that “what we generally see in older people in terms of declines in executive function, memory and planning would be happening at an earlier age.”

Equally troubling is the lack of awareness of a blast injury. Many veterans studied said they never felt concussion-like symptoms such as dizziness, headaches or loss of consciousness. Others complained of those symptoms, but eventually saw them go away and military doctors concluded they had fully recovered.

Yet in both cases, brain scans years later showed signs of de-

generation and early aging.

If symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-like illnesses appear five or 10 years earlier in a large group of people, “this would have tremendous consequences for society,” said William Milberg, a Harvard Medical School professor of psychology, VA scientist and study co-author. “We would have to figure out on a much larger scale ways of taking care of people.”

The results expand on VA research, published in November, on a lack of communication between areas of the brain according to scans taken of troops who had been within 30 feet of an explosion.

“The most important message of these two studies is that they show for the first time in a large cohort of (Iraq and Afghanistan) veterans that exposure to explosions in combat affects the brain whether or not the soldier showed symptoms of a concus-

VA

sion at the time of the explosion,” Milberg said.

An estimated 2.7 million Americans served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 1.9 million are now veterans, about 60% of whom have or are receiving VA treatment, according to the agency.

An undetermined number of Americans were exposed to up to 47,000 IED bomb attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the U.S. military’s Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.

More than 3,000 troops were killed by IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan and 10 times that number required medical treatment.

Many troops wearing body armor and traveling in armored vehicles reported getting “blown up,” or surviving bomb blasts that occurred close by. Many veterans say that over the course of several deployments the number of explosions they survived rose into double digits.

John Cove, 41 — an Army re-

servist from Leicester, Mass., who served a year in Iraq — suffered a concussion during a 2008 training exercise in the U.S. when a simulated bomb exploded just a few feet from him. “You could say I was dazed and confused, walking around kind of blurry-eyed,” Cove said.

He is among 450 veterans and servicemembers in the New England area who agreed to participate in the VA’s study on traumatic brain injury and stress disorders, from which data were collected for the study released Monday.

Cove said the results of the study are sobering for soldiers like him who have been impacted by a blast.

“I kind of figured eventually I’d get to the point where I’m not going to remember much, cause I’m already starting to have memory loss,” Cove said. “I get angry. I get frustrated. I have outbursts. I’m on medication to help me with my moods.”

Court kills bail denial in Arizona

Measure had barred immigrants’ release Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court sounded the final death knell Monday for an Arizona constitutional amendment that denied bail to all undocumented immigrants charged with serious felonies.

The justices refused to reconsider a federal appeals court ruling that held the measure, passed in 2006, was unconstitutional because it did not provide for caseby-case determinations.

Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, the court’s three most conservative members, would have agreed to hear the case.

“Our indifference to cases such as this one will only embolden the lower courts to reject state laws on questionable constitutional grounds,” Thomas wrote.

The initiative, approved by 78% of Arizona voters, had banned any pretrial release of undocumented immigrants “if the proof is evident or the presumption great that the person is guilty of the offense charged.”

The Supreme Court ruled in a case in 2003 that undocumented immigrants subject to deportation pose a flight risk; therefore, they can be jailed before trial.

Based on that precedent, three state and federal courts had allowed the Arizona initiative to remain in effect.

An earlier case, upholding a 1984 law passed by Congress, allowed pretrial detention only on a case-by-case basis and if the defendant was deemed dangerous to the community.

Based on that precedent, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit reversed the earlier rulings and held that the measure was a “scattershot attempt” to address flight risk. The Supreme Court’s majority refused to second-guess that ruling.

“Today’s order from the Supreme Court lets our victory over Proposition 100 stand,” said Cecillia Wang of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Wisconsin is famous for its cheese. Now it’s famous for its very expensive cheese.

A cheesemaker in the Badger State put about 20 pounds of its 20-year-old cheddar on sale over the weekend at $209 a pound, according to local media — and it sold out in less than a day.

“It’s like a milestone in the cheese industry,” Ken Monteleone, owner of an artisan cheese shop in Madison, told the State Journal newspaper.

The cheddar was made by Hook’s Cheese Co. of Mineral Point, about 40 miles west of Madison, the state’s capital.

Cheesemakers Tony and Julie Hook are giving $40,000 from the cheese sale, about half the revenue, to the Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the newspaper reported.

In April, consumption was flat despite a 0.4% rise in personal income, the Commerce Department said. Spending on durable goods such as cars and furniture fell 0.8% while outlays on services ticked up 0.1%. The failure of consumers to splurge with their windfall from low gasoline prices is confounding economists.

“You would think it would spill into better consumer spending,” says Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist of Deutsche Bank.

Instead, Americans are using their extra cash to pay down debt and fatten their bank accounts.

ing at how to take out costs, with mergers and acquisitions one way to do it.

“I would suspect that’s what a lot of CEOs are thinking,” Yoshikami said.

On the software side of things, the names of several possible acquisition targets are frequently bandied about.

The biggest in the mix is Salesforce, which makes customer-relationship software.

Speculation swirled earlier this month that the company might be on the block. Possible suitors included Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, SAP and Google.

Another company that’s often named as a purchase magnet is Flipboard, a social-network aggregator that puts feeds into a magazine-format mobile app.

In the past few weeks there have been rumors that Twitter, Yahoo or even Google might be looking in Flipboard’s direction.

Also much-discussed is the music-streaming service Pandora, which beat analysts’ expectations this quarter.

That could make it more attractive to buyers.

That consolidation is just one aspect of a larger trend in the tech space, analysts say.

Technology is starting to look like the pharmaceutical industry, where the big players don’t innovate themselves but instead buy up smaller, more nimble firms that do, said Max Wolff, chief economist with Manhattan Venture Partners.

Tech behemoths now feel they need to have a finger in “everything,” just as Google does, Wolff

said. But that’s very expensive and spreads staff and expertise very thin at a time when both are hard to come by.

Instead, companies are focusing on doing things they do profitably and well, “and then partnering or buying into other areas,” he said.

Apple is an excellent example of this strategy.

“They not only have their own internal growth, but then they go out and buy virtual-reality companies and music companies and headphone companies and chip analytics companies,” said Michael Yoshikami, CEO of Destination Wealth Management.

With the possibility of a shakeout, smaller companies are looking at how they can monetize what they’ve created.

Last month, a measure of new orders — a barometer of future production — and employment jumped, but a gauge of production slipped.

Although a strong dollar continues to weigh on exports, its rise has slowed. Meanwhile, shipment backlogs from a now-settled labor conflict at West Coast ports have eased, and a pullback in oil drilling is expected to stabilize as crude prices rise, bolstering steel and other makers.

After the economy shrank in the first quarter, many analysts estimate it will grow about 2.5% in this quarter and 3% in the second half of the year.

Construction spending surged 2.2% in April after slumping through the harsh winter, Commerce said, soundly beating the 0.7% increase forecast by economists. Outlays for home building increased 0.6%, and non-residential projects jumped 3.2%. Lavorgna estimates that will trim the 0.7% drop.

SAN FRANCISCO A year ago, facing mounting criticism from civil rights leaders, Google took a major step to address gender and racial imbalance in its workforce: It publicly divulged that lack of diversity.

Major technology companies soon followed suit, leading to a more open dialogue about diversity in an industry dominated by white and Asian men.

On Monday, Google released an update on its efforts to close the gender and racial gap. The update shows the Internet giant is moving the needle but very slowly.

At Google, seven out of 10 employees still are men. Most employees are white (60%) and Asian (31%). Latinos make up just 3% of the work force, African Americans 2% — a far cry from fulfilling the mission of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to have their company re-

flect the diversity of its customers in the USA and around the world.

Still, Nancy Lee, Google’s vice president of people operations, told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview that the company is seeing “a lot of positive trends.”

“I think we are getting better and we are hoping that ultimately we are able to accelerate the improvement,” Lee said.

Women made slight progress in technical roles at Google since last year, rising one percentage point to 18%, but African Americans and Hispanics were unchanged at 1% and 2% respectively.

Among non-technical employees, African Americans gained ground, making up 4% vs. 3% a

year ago. Women lost ground, representing 47% vs. 48%. Hispanics didn’t budge at 4%.

In Google’s leadership ranks, women now account for 22%, up from 21%, but Hispanics and African Americans made no progress in climbing the corporate ladder at Google.

Making substantial change in one year at an Internet giant that employs nearly 56,000 isn’t possible, Lee said.

But, she said, Google has the “deep commitment and the sustained commitment” to grow the numbers “over the long run.”

The diversity report hints at the enormity of the task ahead for Google and the industry overall.

“The system moves slowly so

we must remain persistent,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has led the campaign to pressure technology companies on diversity.

“This is a long-distance struggle” for the industry to look like America and the communities it depends on “for growth and success,” he told USA TODAY. For years Google and other technology companies resisted divulging the racial and gender breakdown of their workforces.

On Monday, Jackson called on technology companies to set specific goals for hiring more women and minorities.

He also said the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, wants other technology companies to commit to releasing this year’s diversity data by Sept. 1.

Google says it will spend $150 million in 2015 on initiatives that include casting a wider net on college campuses and changing the perception of computer science as best suited for white and Asian men.

“This is not just a numbers game for us,” Lee said. “We want to be thoughtful and get at root causes of what created the lack of diversity in the industry in the first place.”

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

June is a big month for economic data, as the slew of incoming numbers could prove or disprove the notion that the firstquarter slowdown was caused by weather and other “transitory” factors. How the economic data come in could also have implications for when — and if — the Federal Reserve raises shortterm interest rates this year.

Monday’s kickoff to the coming data-fest was mixed, with a trio of beats (April personal income and construction spending and May manufacturing) raising hopes that the slowdown was just a blip and that a recovery has begun. On the downside, U.S. consumer spending was flat in April, despite the better-than-expected 0.4%

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

jump in income earned.

Still, on balance, the upbeat data on construction and manufacturing prompted Barclays to revise its second-quarter GDP number to +2.5% after it had cut it earlier in the day to 2.3% when the news on weak consumer spending hit.

The manufacturing beat “is signaling a bit brighter future,” Maury Harris, economist at UBS, told clients in a report.

Next up: today’s June reading on factory orders. Wall Street is hoping activity at the nation’s factories builds on last March’s better-than-expected 2.1% jump.

Also set for release: May vehicle sales. There’s talk of sales coming in at a robust annual pace of 17 million vehicles.

Wall Street is rooting for a rebound but not a surge, because a “Goldilocks” economy will keep the Fed on hold longer.

You can hit the jackpot, but it takes timing Q: Can I profit from tech mergers?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: U.S. tech companies are up for grabs. That’s a potential huge windfall for investors.

More than $120 billion has been spent buying out tech companies this year, putting dealmaking on pace to be the biggest year since 1999. Investors at the right place are making a fortune as a result. Shares of the 26 tech companies in the Russell 3000 targeted in buyouts over the past 12 months jumped more than 16% from the day before the deal was announced to the day after. Talk about a quick buck.

So to answer your question directly, yes, you can profit big-time if you know where the next tech deals will be. But that presents the bigger question: Where will the next buyout be? Investors know on average that the companies being targeted are on the smaller side, with market values of about $3.5 billion and reported revenue of $1 billion or less over the past 12 months. The stocks being targeted typically aren’t the ones with nosebleed valuations.

But while investors know the characteristics of tech stocks that are desired, picking the right stock and timing can be tough. It’s fun to try to predict buyout bait, but a better strategy would be to own a diversified index of small company stocks.

For stocks, June just might be the new May Maybe now is time to ‘sell and go away’ Adam Shell USA TODAY

Everyone knows May kicks off the worst six-month stretch for stocks, thus the phrase “Sell in May and go away.” But stocks eked out gains in May. Is June the time to sell?

History says it might not be such a bad idea. Not only is June the second month of the worst NEW YORK

six-month period for the stock market, it is also a month in which gains have been tough to come by.

“June has seen gains the least often of any month,” notes Bespoke Investment Group’s cofounder Paul Hickey. In fact, the Dow Jones industrial average has posted gains in June less than half the time in the past 20-, 50and 100-year periods, data from Bespoke show.

The Dow in June has also posted losses, on average, of 0.6% in the past 20 years and -0.4% over the past 50 years, according to

SUMMER’S PAST PERFORMANCES Average monthly percent change for the Dow Jones industrial average: June July August Last 100 years 0.41% 1.51% 0.91% % positive 49% 62% 61% Last 50 years -0.36% 0.75% -0.19% % positive 46% 55% 57% Last 20 years -0.60% 1.25% -1.04% % positive 45% 65% 55% SOURCE BESPOKE INVESTMENT GROUP

Bespoke.

How the market fares in June could hinge on whether a slew of incoming economic data points show signs that a rebound is in the works, after the economy contracted 0.7% in the first three months of the year. If the weakness doesn’t prove to be “transitory,” it’s unlikely the market can stay at near-record levels given that valuations are on the pricey side relative to history. Stocks could also get a jolt if the Federal Reserve hints after its mid-June meeting that an interest rate hike is coming before September.

“You can see the scars on my NBC head,” Morgan told Matt Lauer on Monday’s ‘Today’ show, which marked his first public appearance since the accident. He also broke his leg, nose and ribs. “I have my good days and my bad days when I forget things.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Magazine cover in lingerie shows change complete Maria Puente @usatmpuente USA TODAY

Caitlyn Jenner, the Olympic athlete formerly known as Bruce, made her debut as a transgender woman Monday, posing in sexy lingerie on the cover of Vanity Fair.

“Call me Caitlyn,” reads the cover headline for the July issue.

The picture, shot by the magazine’s longtime photographer Annie Leibovitz, and the story promotion are the only things on the cover, which is usually crowded with headlines.

Inside is an interview with Jenner by journalist Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights.

Also Monday, Jenner joined Twitter as Caitlyn with the message “welcome to the world Caitlyn.”

“I’m so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self,” she posted. “Welcome to the world Caitlyn.

Can’t wait for you to get to know her/me.”

Within hours, she was shattering Twitter records for followers. .

The last time Jenner was seen in the media was in April with ABC’s Diane Sawyer for a two-hour special, when he was still known as Bruce, did not dress as a woman and declined to disclose the new woman’s name.

Jenner, 65, tells Bissinger about her transition and how she kept her sense of herself as a woman secret for nearly seven decades, through three marriages and 10 children and stepchildren.

“If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life,’ ” she said.

GLAAD, the civil-rights organization that monitors depictions of gay people in the media, praised Jenner for “accelerating acceptance of transgender people everywhere.”

“For a transgender person to step into the world as his or her authentic self is a moment of tremendous freedom,” said Nick Adams, GLAAD’s Director of Programs, Transgender Media.

“The world can now see what Caitlyn Jenner has always known, that she is — and always has been — a woman.”

The buildup to this moment has taken decades for Jenner but just weeks for most of the world not focused on the celebrity tabloid coverage of Jenner over the past year.

During most of that time, she and her sprawling reality TV Kar-

“I’m so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.

Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can’t wait for you to get to know her/me.”

dashian clan had mostly denied there was anything going on with the 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medal winner, despite dramatic changes in appearance caught by paparazzi and anonymous leaks to the likes of TMZ. Jenner sought to control her own narrative. The interview with Sawyer, with nearly 14 million people watching, was her coming out, although still as Bruce, when she announced at the start of a two-hour special, “I am a woman.”

Now, Leibovitz has captured the new, authentic reality.

After the ABC interview, praise and tributes to Jenner’s courage poured onto social media and regular media, with only a few critical remarks. On Monday, her debut as Caitlyn inspired a similar outpouring.

The issue hits digital newsstands June 9 and physical newsstands June 16.

‘Fifty Shades’ unshackles a surprise

A fourth novel will tell Christian’s side of the story

THE FRANCHISE

BY THE NUMBERS u The trilogy has sold more than 125 copies worldwide. u The first book, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ held the No. 1 spot on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list for 20 consecutive weeks in 2012, a record.

GETTY u The movie IMAGES adaptation starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson earned $569.7 million worldwide.

Jocelyn McClurg and Kelly Lawler USA TODAY

Talk about a sizzling summer surprise.

E.L James shocked fans, and no doubt plenty of booksellers, Monday when she announced via social media a new Fifty Shades of Grey novel a mere 21⁄2 weeks before publication.

Grey, to be released June 18 from Vintage Books as a paperback and e-book, will tell the erotic love story from billionaire bad boy Christian Grey’s point of view. The original bondage-and-

discipline trilogy is seen through naive Anastasia’s eyes.

Grey is dedicated to “those

readers who asked … and asked … and asked … and asked for this,” James said Monday in a state-

ment from her publisher. “As anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story.”

Why such short notice for such a huge summer book?

“E.L. James wanted the book to be a surprise for her readers.

And boy oh boy was it,” says her publisher’s spokesman, Paul Bogaards. “Within minutes her readers responded with thousands of likes and shares across her social platforms.”

Fans responded with more than 100,000 likes on Facebook.

He said Vintage will have more than “a million copies in bookstores and other retail outlets across the country on Day One.” Grey will be huge, predicts Carol Fitzgerald, president of the Book Report Network: “The Fifty Shades phenomenon exists in its own stratosphere of publishing.”

Mental health successes illustrate healing power of treatment

By Jeff Burkhead

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center

ay was Mental Health Awareness Month, and as the new month begins, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center shares a few success stories of client recovery.

Jackie Lira, TJ Reyes and Deacon Reyes Jackie Lira knew something wasn’t right. She just didn’t know what it was. Or why.

“I essentially wanted to

jump out of my own skin,” she said. “And I couldn’t fix it.”

A couple of months earlier, Jackie and TJ Reyes’ son, Deacon, had been born premature.

He arrived 10 weeks early and weighed only 2 pounds.

Deacon spent the next two months in the neonatal intensive care unit at Kansas Medical Center. Even after Deacon came home and joined his two older brothers, he still had medical issues.

“Once we got Deacon home, that’s when things started,” Jackie said. “I told TJ, ‘I can’t do this.’

I thought I was going crazy.”

Not sure what to do, Jackie went to the emergency room.

A social worker at the hospital connected her with Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

“She was like, go here, these people will help you,” Jackie said.

The same day she went to Bert Nash, she was referred to Heartland Community Mental Health Center. That’s where she connected with Karin Denes Collar, a Bert Nash behavioral health consultant, who is in her third year of working with clients and pro-

exposed to sun, including the ears, lips and mouth as well as other areas of the body. In persons with dark skin, however, it may appear on places not exposed to the sun such as the legs and feet. It is more dangerous than basal cell carcinoma but less so than melanoma. l Melanoma, the least common type of skin cancer, does spread and, if not treated in a timely manner, can be fatal.

Dr. Wes: This is a tough situation faced by a lot of high school couples this time of year. Kyra and I put our heads together and we could think of very few couples who successfully stayed together through freshman year of college. A great example is our Double Take Snow Day Couple from back in September 2010. Taylor and Daniel have been together since they were 16, including Daniel’s tenure at West Point. They’re getting married in August.

There are many love stories like this, but I can tell you from following a lot of them, it takes an incredible amount of work, patience, sacrifice and sexual fidelity to pull off.

That’s much easier when couples are together for a few years after high school and then split up for a time after one graduates or drops out of college and gets a job, or takes a study abroad. My wife and I had to do this for a year when I was on internship. It was tough, even after we’d been married for eight years.

No one described your dilemma better than

viders at Heartland. The two agencies have a partnership to provide integrated care.

“I was so glad we were able to be there at the right time for Jackie,” Denes Collar said. “Jackie had a lot of skills already, but she had a very stressful few months, and they finally caught up with her. This model of practice is so rewarding because we can really get people comprehensive, integrated services quickly.”

For Jackie, it was as if a Please see RECOVERY, page 2C

Sunlight healthy in doses, but take precautions against skin cancer

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Is the sun your friend or your enemy? The answer is: It’s both.

Recent studies have found that many Americans are deficient in vitamin D, which is crucial to bone health and has many other health benefits. As a major source of vitamin D, sunlight is definitely your friend.

But skin cancer is the most common malignancy in the United States

Serving Lawrence For

with more than two million Americans being diagnosed each year. As the No. 1 environmental risk factor for skin cancer, sunlight is pretty clearly your enemy.

Rules for skin cancer prevention circulated by the Centers for Disease Control sound a bit uncompromising: l The sun’s UV rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. l UV rays from the sun can reach you on cloudy and hazy days, as well as

bright and sunny days. l Your best bet to protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outside — even when you’re in the shade.

It’s important to know some basic information about skin cancer and your potential risks. There are three common types

of skin cancer, named according to the cells that become cancerous: l Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and also the least serious, highly treatable and rarely spreading to distant organs. Most basal cell cancers occur on the face, neck or hands–areas most commonly exposed to the cumulative effects of sun exposure. l Squamous cell carcinoma, the next most common type, also occurs usually on skin that has been

Dear Dr. Wes & Kyra: My boyfriend and I were going to go to college together near Dallas. Then, at the very end when he got his final financial aid package, his parents said they couldn’t afford it, so now he has to go to Colorado to a school where they gave him a nearly full ride. I can’t change my plans now. We have to decide whether to break up or not. I’d like to continue, but almost nobody’s relationship survives this. I want college and my boyfriend.

weight had been lifted.

“It was like instant relief immediately when they met,” TJ said.

Jackie felt like somebody understood what she was going through and why she was feeling depressed and anxious.

“I thought, someone knows I’m not crazy,” Jackie said. “Karin could diagnose things and tell me I wasn’t alone and I wasn’t losing my mind and there was a reason I was feeling this way. I also started seeing a doctor at Heartland, which was great, because Karin and the doctor could talk and we were all on the same page.”

TJ and Jackie also met with Karin as a couple.

“He had struggles as well, because he had to do a lot things alone when I was sick and in bed,” Jackie said.

The couple learned new skills to help them communicate better and support each other. And Deacon, though he still has weight issues, is doing well.

“This has brought us together, even closer than I ever thought we could be,” TJ said. “It was a godsend for Karin to come into our lives.”

. adorable, blue-eyed girl who stole my heart right away,” Lockwood said. “I thought, ‘This girl needs me, and I need her, too.’”

Besides suffering from an unhealthy home life, Henderson had difficulty with schoolwork because of a learning disability, and she also suffers from Tourette syndrome, which causes people to make repeated movements or tics they can’t control.

“I’ve had a lot of obstacles,” Henderson said.

When Henderson moved on to Free State High School, she worked with the Bert Nash WRAP workers — Kim Hubbell and April Ramos. Henderson has remained close with her former WRAP workers.

“I love that girl,” Ramos said. “She is such a sweetheart. It helps us to know we did make a difference.”

After high school, Henderson considered becoming a teacher, but decided to go to culinary school at Flint Hills Technical College in Emporia. She talks about following in her Nanny’s footsteps.

“I’ve actually thought about going back to West and being a lunch lady, at least for a year,” Henderson said.

For Henderson, it would be a way to say thank you to those who helped her when she needed it the most.

“Along with the love of my WRAP workers and my Nanny and her family, my grandparents Judy and Bill Pickering also did a lot. They would take me to my therapy appointments at Bert Nash. They also taught me how to love.

Everyone was part of team Rita. No one let me feel abandoned,” Henderson said. “I’ve had a lot of people support me.

I didn’t do it alone. They saved my life.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld Wanke could tell Ross was a smart guy, but he needed help understanding why he was feeling this way.

“People come to therapy either because they don’t like the way they feel, or they don’t like how they think, or they don’t like how they behave,” Wanke said.

“I wasn’t going to have to help Charlie think.

His process was, ‘How do I connect up how I feel with what I do?’ I was just honored to be there with a person who wanted to change his life and invited me to be there to help him.”

His recovery has been a lengthy process, but Ross feels good about his life and the progress he has made.

“Bert Nash got me going in the right direction, and I could work with this fantastic therapist,” he said. “I did all the work, of course. That’s what George would tell you. But I couldn’t have done it without him. So, thank you, Bert Nash.”

Cancer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

In men, melanoma is commonly found on the head, neck or between the shoulders and hips. In women, the most common sites are skin on the legs or between the shoulders and hips. In dark-skinned people, melanoma sometimes occurs under a finger or toe nail, on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.

Symptoms include a mole or freckle that changes in size, shape or appearance or a new spot that has an irregular outline and usually more than one color. Please talk to your health care provider if you notice any symptoms.

For all skin cancers, the number one risk factor is exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. For basal cell carcinoma, cumula-

• Eudora, June 20 • Tonganoxie, July 18 • Baldwin City, Aug. 15 tive exposure over a lifetime seems to be a major factor. For squamous cell, both cumulative and recent exposure have been linked to actinic keratoses —rough, scaly growths on sun-exposed skin that can be pre-cancerous.

For melanoma and even for some squamous cell carcinomas, cumulative exposure is less important than the amount of sun and the timing. A bad sunburn before your 20th birthday may be more dangerous than low levels of sun exposure over a lifetime.

Doctors have made sig-

nificant strides toward preventing skin cancers by promoting a policy of “slip, slap and slop.” Any time you go out in the sun, you should slip on some protective clothing, slap on a wide-brimmed hat and slop on generous quantities of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. The sunscreen should be broad spectrum, protecting against both UVA and UVB. The LMH Oncology Center promotes the use of sunscreen and will be distributing it free at the upcoming LMH Summer Spray 5K races in Eudora, Tonganoxie and Baldwin City. Also watch for a display and dispenser of free sunscreen coming soon to the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center.

Chloe said of DBT. “I will take those skills with me to college.”

Chloe, a senior at Eudora High School, will attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville in the fall. Chloe is a singer and taught herself to play guitar; she hopes to pursue her music after high school.

Kathleen Boyd, a Bert Nash child and family therapist in Eudora, worked with Chloe and her family.

“I was struck by her remarkable range of artistic talent, intelligence and energy she possessed,” Boyd said. “Chloe seemed to excel at whatever she put her mind to — yet struggled with other areas of living that put her being successful at risk. Chloe’s family was supportive and open to doing whatever it would take. Being able to learn concrete skills to manage difficult emotions and life changes through DBT seemed to be a perfect fit for Chloe, and learning these skills as a family through the Adolescent DBT program was ideal.

I’m beyond thrilled to see their hard work has paid off and Chloe with such a bright future.”

Through her struggles, Chloe learned there is no shame in asking for help.

“I know now that that’s not something that should be frowned upon,” she said. “Asking for help is a symbol of strength.”

And she found help at Bert Nash.

“I don’t know if we realize what a resource we have and how blessed we are to have Bert Nash in this community and how many people it has helped,” Hank Booth said. “Bert Nash saved my granddaughter’s life.”

Dear Annie: My 14-year-old daughter attends an all-girls school. Her stepfather initially encouraged it, but in the past two years, my daughter has made friends with a few classmates who say they are lesbian or bisexual.

My husband is extremely conservative (borderline homophobic), and as a result, he is shaming my daughter regularly for her friendships. I have a good bond with my daughter and feel torn.

I know my husband cares about her, but his comments are hurtful.

He says he will keep it up to make sure she doesn’t “become” a lesbian.

I’ve pleaded with him, tried to understand him and told him to stop, but it continues. What do I do? — Is

This Abuse?

Dear Abuse: Shaming your daughter is a form of abuse. Your husband sounds ignorant, homophobic and idiotic. Friendships with bisexual or homosexual girls will not make your daughter “become” a lesbian. But we guarantee that your husband’s bullying will push her toward rejecting everything he says, and his influence over her will diminish to nothing.

You need to stand up

‘Housewives,’ make way for ‘Secrets’ So what’s in a name? By any measure, the new series “Secrets and Wives” (9 p.m., Bravo) should be called “The Real Housewives of Long Island.”

Perhaps Bravo has turned a page. Did a focus group tell its executives that “Housewives” had the wrong connotation?

Did “Long Island” test badly?

Whatever it’s called, “Secrets” is a series where the usual gaggle of pampered women of a certain age gather to gossip and compare the figures seen in the mirror and on their husband’s or exhusband’s bank statements. Of the six friends, only one is still on her “starter husband.” One is a former backup singer for Jay and the Americans, a group popular 50-some years ago. There’s a plastic surgeon’s second or third wife and a woman formerly linked to a “media figure” in the gossip columns of New York’s voracious tabloids.

In short, it’s the usual gang of women gathering for chardonnay breaks dressed in outfits meant for women several decades their junior. Help yourself.

O Super good-looking secret government agents enter the minds and read the memories of the recently deceased in the new drama “Stitchers” (8 p.m., ABC Family). This absurdly stylish new series continues a number of weird TV trends that might seem disturbing if they weren’t so banal.

Its romanticized portrait of the morbid would fit in rather well on the CW network, where more than every other show concerns vampires or other curiously undead young people.

It closely resembles that network’s “iZombie,” but without that series’ gross details or dark sense of humor. Nobody has to eat the brains of the deceased on “Stitchers.”

Tonight’s other highlights

O “America’s Got Talent”

(7 p.m., NBC).

O Charles’ sick games prove unendurable on the sixth season premiere of “Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

O Four chefs compete on “Hell’s Kitchen” (8 p.m., Fox).

O Famous acts branch out on “I Can Do That” (9 p.m., NBC).

O “Royal Pains” (9 p.m., USA) enters its seventh season with Hank haunted by the sense that his life may be missing a key ingredient.

If he refuses and will not curtail this behavior, we recommend you take your daughter and leave the house.

Your husband needs to understand the consequences of his actions, and more importantly, your child should not be subjected to such emotional abuse. You are the only one who can protect her.

He’s the right hire for ISU Fred Hoiberg’s departure from hometown Ames, Iowa, to the NBA still stings for anybody who roots for the Big 12, so imagine how it must numb Iowa State backers.

The Cyclones shaped up as legitimate nationalchampionship contenders with Hoiberg at the helm, running NBA plays to which the roster was tailored and to which the players have become accustomed.

There is nobody the Cyclones could attract who could match Hoiberg.

Or is there?

A check of the American history books reveals that two historic events occurred on Sept. 14, 1940. The U. S. Congress passed the Selective Service Act, which required that men between the ages of 21 and 34 register with local draft boards.

Once president Franklin Roosevelt signed the Act into law, it marked the first peace-time draft in our nation’s history.

The other event drew no attention at the time because nobody had any way of knowing that a baby boy born in Brooklyn had a brain that would develop into one more suited to teach basketball than any before or after.

Lawrence Harvey Brown, the only man on the planet to win both an NCAA title (Danny and the Miracles, 1988) and an NBA crown (Detroit Pistons, 2004), has what it takes to bring the Cyclones to even greater heights than Hoiberg did before leaving for the Chicago Bulls.

It took Brown five seconds to make SMU sizzle, proving that at least in his case, it’s not how old you are, rather how young you think. The Mustangs were shafted on Selection Sunday a year ago and lost to UCLA on a controversial goal-tending call this past March in the NCAA Tournament.

Sure, NCAA regulations have become an issue again for Brown, as was the case at UCLA and Kansas, but let’s be honest: Do you think Kentucky has any regrets about hiring John Calipari, whose Final Four appearances at UMass in 1996 and Memphis in 2008 were vacated? For that matter, do you think either UMass or Memphis regrets hiring Calipari? Not a chance.

It comes down to how serious Iowa State wants to be about instantly cashing in on the talented roster Hoiberg cobbled together, largely with talented transfers.

Like Hoiberg, Phoenix Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek was an Iowa State star. He’s tied for last in NBA head-coaching salaries with $2 million, which calculates to just $1 million per Morris twin. Landing him would calm a nervous fan base.

That’s nice, but winning a national title has to rank first, and anybody else ISU could land ranks at best second to the great Larry Brown.

Lions have championship aspirations

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

After ending the 2014 season with a 35-7 setback in the first round of the playoffs to eventual state champion Shawnee Mission East, Lawrence High’s football team has its aspirations set to make a much deeper postseason run in 2015.

The Lions kicked off their annual summer football camp Monday with a 7 a.m. session of weights, followed by various drills on the field.

LHS coach Dirk Wedd said having a senior-laden team helped get the Lions off to a quick start to the summer.

“We’re pretty experienced, so we took the training wheels off pretty early,” Wedd said. “It all comes down to our seniors taking ownership of the team as quickly as possible.”

With Amani Bledsoe and Trey Georgie anchoring the defensive line and Price Morgan and Tanner Green returning at linebacker, the Lions figure to have a big and athletic front seven.

“We need to be a dominant defense,” Wedd said. “We need to be an old-time Lawrence High defense that flies around the field and strikes you. I think we have the personnel to do that.”

The Lions will be plenty

deep at the linebacker position with Morgan, Green, Konner Kelley and Alan Clothier, who will be making the transition from defensive back.

“Anything that comes near us, we’re just going to stop them,” Green said. “We know we have the ability. As long as we do what we need to do, we’ll be all right.”

Clothier will be back under center at quarterback for the Lions, and Wedd is excited to see what improvement the dual-threat QB can make after playing his first full season in 2014.

“We’ll give him a little bit more freedom both in the passing game and running

the football, because he’s an outstanding runner, also,” Wedd said.

“We’ve got to find three or four guys that can catch the ball, and more importantly, we need to find three or four wide receivers that will block, too.”

Ivan Hollins and Luke Padia are two early candidates at wideout for Wedd, but the Lions will also count heavily on Morgan at tight end and the 1-2 punch of JD Woods and Trey Moore to help out in the passing game.

Wedd was encouraged by Woods and Moore’s performance in track throughout Please see LIONS, page 3D

Big man Coleby provides bridge to 2016

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In theory and on paper, Kansas University’s basketball team doesn’t need any more big men for the upcoming 2015-16 season.

The following year is a different story altogether.

“We’ve been keeping an eye on transfers the entire spring due to the fact we lose so many big guys next year,” Self said of 2015-16 KU senior forwards Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor and Hunter Mickelson, who will be joined on the floor next season by junior Landen Lucas, plus freshmen McDonald’s All-America bigs Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg.

“It would be nice to have a big guy in your program that knew the system and we can rely on to be a foundation,” Self added.

That big guy is 6-foot-9, 240-pound former Ole Miss center Dwight Coleby, who signed grant-in-aid papers with KU on Sunday, his commitment announced by KU on Monday.

“When Dwight became available, we researched it and watched tape. He’s exactly what I think we need,” Self said of the player who averaged 5.4 points off 53.2 percent shooting and 4.8 boards his sophomore season. He’ll practice but not play in games next season then be eligible to play in games in 2016-17.

“He’s a big guy that can play either bigs position.

He’s active. He reminds me of a lot of a bigger Jamarior Thomas Robinson-type body. He’s got a great motor.

I feel like he can play on the block. He can play facing.

He can do a lot of different things. He’s raw offensively, but he’s a premiere athlete and should be a solid rebounder and defender right off the bat,” Self added.

Coleby, who started three games, averaged 16.5 minutes a game in 34 games last season. He was second on the Ole Miss team with 29 blocked shots. He scored in double figures six times, his first career double-double a Please see HOOPS, page 3D Coleby

Former teammate: Hoiberg good pick During his 2002-03 rookie season, which featured moments of star potential but far more losing and frustration than he ever experienced at Duke, Jay Williams claimed the Bulls owed the city of Chicago more effort.

“I got ripped because I was a rookie and didn’t have a full understanding of how the league or team worked and I was coming from a pretty elite institution in Duke,” Williams recalled by phone Monday.

Then one day after practice, Fred Hoiberg pulled Williams aside.

“I’ll never forget what he said,” Williams said. “He said, ‘You know what? What you said is OK because this is the first step we need in order for change to occur. Some of these growing pains we’re going through are not OK. Some of these personalities we have associated with our team are not OK. We need to change the culture from within.’

“Fred brought that mentality as a player. And I think he will bring it as a coach.”

Hoiberg, 42, arrived in Chicago on Monday night to finalize a five-year deal to succeed Tom Thibodeau as the 19th coach in Bulls history. He met with management and ownership, and the Bulls are expected to make his hiring official today.

Hoiberg, who compiled a 115-56 record over the last five seasons at Iowa State, his alma mater, is the seventh of the last eight Bulls hires to be making his NBA head coaching debut.

Scott Skiles is the exception.

Three of those — Doug Collins, Phil Jackson and Thibodeau — advanced at least to the conference finals, with Jackson winning six championships en route to the Hall of Fame. Tim Floyd and Bill Cartwright struggled with young teams, while Vinny Del Negro went 82-82 with two first-round exits.

Williams, whose Bulls career was cut short after one season by a serious motorcycle accident, said Hoiberg has the personality and coaching chops to align more with the first group.

“Fred is a really skilled people person. So he’s really good at recruiting,” Williams said. “But not just recruiting the younger players who come in as a freshman.

He’s really good at getting transfers to buy in, even transfers maybe with some troubled history. In the NBA, that’s critical.

“The NBA is all about how do you get grown men to buy into what the team is doing?

He’s been able to do that at a very high success rate at the collegiate level. He’s a player’s coach. I think you’re seeing that trend in the NBA. He’ll earn people’s respect.”

Hoiberg developed a reputation for his offensive creativity, consistently placing his teams in the top 10 in most major statistical categories.

“It’s a fast-tempo, quick-hit, quick-action style of play,” Williams said. “He runs an NBA-like system. Guys are going to Iowa State now because they think the system … can help them become acclimated to the pros.”

SERENA WILLIAMS ROARS DURING HER THREE-SET VICTORY over Sloane Stephens in their fourth-round match at the French Open on Monday in Paris.

Serena Williams forced to rally past Stephens Paris — For the third match in a row at the French Open, Serena Williams was oddly out of sorts at the outset and dropped the opening set.

And for the third match in a row, almost as though this was the plan all along, Williams righted herself to pull out a victory.

In a riveting, two-hour showdown between the last two American women in the draw, the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams was a game away from defeat Monday, then came back to beat Sloane Stephens 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Williams reached the quarterfinals and avoided joining defending champion Maria Sharapova on the way out of Roland Garros.

“It’s not how you start, I guess. It’s how you finish,” Williams said. “That’s kind of how I’m looking at it.”

Close as it was, thanks in large part to Williams’ 43 unforced errors, more than twice as many as Stephens’ 21, the eventual outcome seemed certain once Williams pulled even by taking the second set.

That’s because she is 10-0 in three-setters this season.

Williams is 29-1 overall in 2015 and owns an 18-match Grand Slam winning streak, including championships at the U.S. Open and Australian Open that gave her 19 major singles trophies.

The 1999 U.S. Open, when she collected her first major title, is the only other time Williams came back to win three straight matches after losing the first set, according to the WTA. “There’s a reason,” said Stephens, defeated in the French Open’s fourth round for the fourth consecutive year, “why she’s the No. 1 player in the world.”

Either Williams, in 2013, or Sharapova, in 2012 and 2014, has won the French Open the past three years. Only Williams has a chance to do it again on Saturday because the second-seeded Sharapova was outplayed throughout a 7-6 (3), 6-4 loss to 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova.

“My opponent had a different gear than I did,” Sharapova said after her earliest exit at Roland Garros since 2010.

On a day full of tennis’ biggest names, the Big 4 of the men’s game — Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray — all won.

The top-seeded Djokovic and nine-time French Open champion Nadal will play in the quarterfinals Wednesday, a rematch of last year’s final.

Nadal eliminated the last U.S. man, Jack Sock, 6-3, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, while Djokovic had no trouble in a 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet.

Federer needed about an hour to finish his 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over Gael Monfils in a match suspended because of darkness after the second set Sunday. Federer next faces Swiss Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka, and Murray will play 2013 French Open runnerup David Ferrer.

TRACK

Wilmington saves program Wilmington, N.C. — North Carolina-Wilmington’s running programs are safe for the upcoming academic year.

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

The school and a grassroots support group said Monday nearly $260,000 has been raised — enough to fund the men’s and women’s track and field and cross country programs in 2015-16.

The school in December proposed to eliminate the programs to cut costs. In February, it said those teams would not be cut in 2015-16 if the Save UNCW Track support group raised $250,000 by May 31.

In a statement, the school called meeting that goal “the first step toward preserving a future for this program.”

The group also must raise $800,000 by Feb. 1 for facility renovations or risk the teams being cut in the future.

The Seahawks have won 11 Colonial Athletic Association titles in men’s track.

HORSE RACING

Belmont field down to 8 New York — The Belmont Stakes field is down to eight after two horses dropped out.

Trainer Todd Pletcher said Monday that Carpe Diem won’t run Saturday when American Pharoah goes for the Triple Crown. Also, trainer Ken McPeek withdrew The Truth or Else.

Carpe Diem was 10th in the Kentucky Derby and will point toward the Haskell Invitational or Jim Dandy Stakes this summer. The Truth or Else did not run in the Kentucky Derby or Preakness and has an ankle issue.

That leaves seven rivals to face Derby and Preakness winner American Pharoah in his bid to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.

Pletcher still has two other Belmont runners: Materiality and Madefromlucky. John Velazquez will ride Materiality, who was sixth in the Derby, while Javier Castellano will be aboard Madefromlucky.

SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES

Florida wins opener, 3-2 Oklahoma City — Lauren Haeger had a home run and three RBIs against Michigan, but what she didn’t do Monday night could play a more important role in Florida’s championship hopes.

Haeger, the national player of the year, is also her team’s ace pitcher. After winning three games at the Women’s College World Series, she got a break from the mound Monday, and her teammates handled Michigan anyway.

Freshman Aleshia Ocasio and sophomore Delanie Gourley combined to beat the Wolverines 3-2 and put the Gators within one win of a repeat national title.

Haeger threw 160 pitches against Auburn on Sunday, so coach Tim Walton didn’t want to use her. He didn’t need to. Ocasio went six innings and gave up two runs to earn the win, and Gourley got the save for the Gators (59-6).

The teams will meet again to night in Game 2 of the best-of-three championship series, and the Wolverines likely will have to deal with a rested Haeger.

Michigan (59-7) saw its 28-game win streak snapped.

Curry, James will drive defenses crazy

SENIOR AMANI BLEDSOE TAKES OFF ON A SLANT AS HE WORKS OUT with the defensive line during Lawrence High’s football camp on Monday.

Lions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

the spring, as both qualified and placed at the state meet in multiple events.

“What I love about those two kids is that they use track to make themselves better in football,” Wedd said.

“They’re not one-sport superstars, where they think they’re too good to play football because they’re star track guys or star football players and not run track. They love both sports, and they don’t drop weight to get faster.”

Even though the Lions posted a .500 record in 2014, expectations are sky-high for the Lions, and that was evident in the spring with numerous NCAA Div. I coaches checking out the likes of Bledsoe, Morgan and Georgie.

MEMBERS OF THE FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM work to carry a lineman chute across the field.

Wedd said it will be a challenge to temper those expectations and take things practice by practice and game by game.

“We need to humble them a little bit and grasp a concept of they’ve proven nothing and have a lot to prove,” Wedd said.

“We’ve got a long ways to go, and it’s going to be up to them to get us there.”

BRIEFLY Area players earn All-Pioneer nods Several area baseball and softball players earned All-Pioneer League honors for their play this season.

Santa Fe Trail seniors Spencer Bessette (pitcher), Weston Gloss (infielder and pitcher), Cody Vandevord (outfielder and pitcher), and junior Brian Hawkins (catcher), along with Wellsville juniors Andy Dougan (infielder) and Tony Dougan (infielder), were first-team selections from the league’s baseball coaches.

Wellsville seniors Jared Klamm and Trevor Shalkoski, along with Santa Fe Trail junior Seth Coltrane, were placed on the second team.

Three Wellsville softball players earned first-team honors: seniors Raegan Beckley (pitcher) and Ashley Sparks (outfielder), and junior Rayne Wright (catcher). Santa Fe Trail junior Candace Roberts (outifelder) and

freshman Kelsey Simmons (pitcher) were also placed on the first team.

Wellsville freshmen Hannah Pemberton and Jordan Springfield, along with Santa Fe Trail freshman Savannah Lankton, earned second team nods.

Two Jayhawks in ’15 KSHOF class Two Kansas University athletes have been named to the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

Terry Beeson and Tracy Bunge are among the 11 members of the class.

Beeson had one of the most heralded football careers in KU history. He was a four-year letterman at linebacker for the Jayhawks and led the team in tackles in both 1975 and 1976. He was an All-Big 8 selection in 1976. Beeson was drafted in the second round (41st pick) of the 1976 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, where he played four seasons.

Both teams in the NBA Finals face a monumental challenge: how to prevent Golden State’s Stephen Curry or Cleveland’s LeBron James from taking control of the series.

The early plans are for the Warriors and the Cavaliers to rotate several defenders to try to limit the damage of the two immense talents.

A few day ago, James was asked for his assessment on how to slow down Curry. “The same way you slow me down,” James told reporters in Cleveland. “You can’t.”

Curry was also asked about James. “We have to be locked in and focused,” Curry told reporters in Oakland. “All five guys on the floor.”

Game 1 of the Finals is Thursday night in Oakland.

During the regular season, Curry was the obvious target of opposing defenses most nights, but the MVP award winner has been even better in the playoffs, averaging 29.2 points per game.

As for James, now in his 12th season, no defensive scheme seems to limit him for long. This

postseason, James is averaging 27.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists.

“I say this for both players: It’s easier said than done,” TNT analyst Reggie Miller said.

“If that was the case, one wouldn’t be a four-time MVP and the other one just wouldn’t have gotten the MVP award.”

Miller and fellow Hall of Fame player Charles Barkley offered completely different ideas on how to defend the 6-foot8, 250-pound James.

“I would force LeBron left and force him to shoot jumpers,” said Barkley, a TNT studio analyst.

“He loves to go left and step back,” Miller said.

“So I would force him right.”

Miller described Curry as a “magician” with the basketball who “outside of Kobe Bryant is probably the best bad shotmaker” in the game.

Curry’s quick release drives defenders crazy.

He can get his shot off the dribble, running off screens, with hands in his face and he can strike from anywhere on the court.

“As much as it pains me, I think you have to make Steph a driver,” Miller said. “And, yes, he can make those crazy

one-handed, Steve Nashtype shots. But what would you rather have?

Would you rather him coming off screens and knocking down threes?

Or taking short twos in the paint?”

Miller may be on to something.

In 15 playoff games, Curry leads the league in three-pointers attempted with 167, while making 73 of them (or 43.7 percent). That means exactly half of Curry’s points this postseason have come from beyond the arc.

The Cavaliers will use multiple defenders on Curry, from James to guards Iman Shumpert, Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova.

Most teams try to make James into a jump-shooter and limit his drives.

His 280 two-point attempts in the playoffs this spring are the most of any player, and he made 48.9 percent of them. But James has taken only 68 three-pointers, making just 12 for a playoff career-low 17.6 percent.

The Warriors will rely on forwards Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green, plus guards Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson to defend James.

at 13 for this season if 6-foot-5 Memphis high schooler LaGerald Vick, as expected, reclassifies to the Class of 2015. Former Providence center Paschal Chukwu, a 7-2, 225-pound freshman from Nigeria, plans to visit KU this week following his visit to Nebraska. He’s also considering Michigan State, Virginia and Iona. Chukwu averaged 2.6 points and 2.4 boards for Providence his freshman season.

“Just overall, everything. When I was playing I wasn’t very dominant. I didn’t live up to my expectations I was supposed to,” Alexander said. “When the suspension came it just made me go downward.”

Asked by Draftexpress why he averaged 17, 18 minutes a game (actually 17.6), he said with a laugh: “I’m gonna leave that to coach Self. I’m going to leave that to coach Self.

“I have a lot to prove, how everything went down at Kansas. I feel I have to get my name back out there more and redeem myself,” he stated.

Cliff getting controversial?: Former KU big man Cliff Alexander had somewhat of a defensive tone in a recent interview with Draftexpress. com. Asked about what he has shown in pre-draft workouts that people did not see in college, he said: “That’s the Cliff Alexander you all saw in high school, that’s all I have to say.”

Asked about his one year at KU, he said: “I got dealt a bad deck of cards when I was at Kansas. It just didn’t go as I planned it. It was just kind of (an) off situation. I just have to move forward and on with everything.”

He was suspended eight games because of an NCAA issue reportedly involving his mom accepting benefits from a third party.

Angels 7, Rays 3 Anaheim, Calif. — Albert Pujols homered twice, and Mike Trout and David Freese also went deep for the Angels in a victory over Tampa Bay. Pujols extended the Angels’ lead to 5-3 in the fifth inning with a solo shot to left off rookie Alex Colome, then hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Andrew Bellatti to end the scoring.

It was his 13th this season and 533rd of his career, one shy of Jimmie Foxx for 17th place all-time.

The three-time NL MVP, who has homered in four of his last five games, has 1,117 extrabase hits for his career — tying Foxx and Ted Williams for 16th in that department.

The lanky right-hander struck out the first four batters and did not allow a baserunner until Clint Barmes led off the sixth with single through the right side of the infield.

After striking out rookie Austin Hedges, deGrom (6-4) induced pinch-hitter Abraham Almonte to hit a grounder back to the mound, and deGrom started an inning-ending double play to shortstop Wilmer Flores.

Pirates 4, Giants 3 San Francisco — Gerrit Cole struck out a season-best nine to win his third straight start, Neil Walker hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the fifth after a pair of called strikeouts, and Pittsburgh beat San Francisco.

Andrew McCutchen had two likely hits stolen by great plays in the outfield and he instead settled for sacrifice flies against Ryan Vogelsong (4-3).

Braves 8, D’backs 1 Phoenix — Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight game, and Andrelton Simmons had three hits to help Atlanta to a victory over Arizona.

Freeman’s two-run blast came in the fifth inning with Simmons on base, and Freeman also drove in a run with a sixthinning single. Simmons extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and the runs were more than enough for Alex Wood (4-2), who held the Diamondbacks to a run on seven hits in eight innings.

The Braves, winners of their previous two games, tagged Diamondbacks starter Archie Bradley (2-3) for three runs in the second inning.

SCOREBOARD NCAA Div. I Regionals World Ranking

IOWA STATE BASKETBALL COACH FRED HOIBERG HOLDS A CHAMPIONSHIP HAT AND APPLAUDS THE CYCLONES after ISU won the Big 12 tournament on March 14 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Bulls tap Hoiberg ————

Source: ‘Mayor’ named today Chicago (ap) — The Mayor is moving to Chicago.

The Bulls plan to introduce Iowa State’s Fred Hoiberg as their new coach on Tuesday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

Hoiberg had long been rumored as the replacement for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last week after five seasons in Chicago. The person spoke to the AP on Monday night on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been finalized.

The Bulls said in a release they would make a major announcement on Tuesday.

Hoiberg went 115-56 with the Cyclones, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-toback Big 12 tournament titles. He had open-heart surgery in April.

Before flying to Chicago to speak with the Bulls, Hoiberg acknowledged that several NBA teams had approached him about their vacancies in recent years.

“When this opportunity came about, this was something that interested me greatly,” Hoiberg said.

“One of my life goals is to coach in that league.”

Hoiberg said the speculation over his future had been “extremely tough.”

Hoiberg grew up in Ames and earned the nickname “The Mayor” while starring for the Cyclones in the 1990s.

Hoiberg joins a team that entered last season with championship aspirations with Derrick Rose back from his latest knee injury and Pau Gasol in the lineup after signing last summer, only to come up short. The

Bulls struggled through injuries to win 50 games and got knocked out by the banged-up Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Their season ended with a listless loss in Game 6. By then, long simmering tensions between Thibodeau and the front office had boiled over, and the Bulls let him go May 28 even though he took them to heights they had not reached since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen championship era.

Hoiberg played four seasons with the Bulls and has a long history with general manager Gar Forman, who was clearly enamored with the successes enjoyed by Iowa State. Hoiberg also spent four years in the Timberwolves’ front office.

Hoiberg had never coached at any level before the Cyclones took a chance on him in 2010. It proved to be one of the smartest risks in school history.

Hoiberg’s fast-paced style was a hit with fans and players, and he leaned heavily on transfers like Royce White and Will Clyburn to quickly bring the Cyclones into national prominence.

Iowa State was a trendy Final Four pick in March before a stunning opening-round loss to 14thseeded UAB. Hoiberg was poised to coach his most talented team yet next season, with six of his top eight players back and a top-10 ranking all but a certainty. The lure of a reunion with the Bulls proved to be irresistible.

The Bulls are following a familiar route by hiring Hoiberg to take over for Thibodeau, who had a 255-139 record in Chicago.
