tion City, said the Republican governor should sign into law a bill approved by legislators allowing Junction City officials to operate with unusually Fawcett high debt limits.

“We have to,” Reitz said. “We just have to.”

Without modification to debt structure enacted by the state in 2006, Junction City officials would be prohibited from borrowing more than $50,000 for general government purposes now through 2016.

“The city’s financial situation, while slowly improving, leaves little room for error,” Fawcett said.

The bill approved with bipartisan support by the House and

Senate would allow the city’s debt cap to remain at 37 percent of property valuations into 2016 rather than resetting at 34 percent during 2013. The bill allows the city’s debt ceiling to be no higher than 34 percent from 2016 to 2020, rather than dropping to 30 percent in 2016.

At the end of the decade, under changes contained in the bill, the city’s limit would revert to the state standard of 30 percent.

“We have burdened Junction City residents and businesses to the maximum,” said Vernon, the city manager. “There remain hurdles that must be cleared. Those hurdles are the debt limit thresholds. If they are not lowered, Junction City may stumble, may fall and may not finish.”

Taller poles, a bigger budget, but some of the same old concerns.

That’s the latest scorecard when it comes to the controversial topic of adding lights to tennis courts near Lawrence High School.

City Parks and Recreation leaders have received an engineering report that details a plan to add lights to the eight tennis courts near the former Centennial School, 2145 La. The report indicates a design change could allow lights to be added to the tennis complex with minimal amounts of light leaking onto nearby residenCITY tial properties. COMMISSION “Basically, we’ve learned, yes, we can do it,” said Mark Hecker, the parks and maintenance superintendent for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. “Now, the question is, should we do it?”

City commissioners likely will decide that issue in the next few weeks. City officials are discussing the latest proposal with both Centennial Neighborhood residents and Lawrence tennis enthusiasts, who have been clamoring for more lighted courts since renovations at LHS removed eight lighted courts in 2009.

The plan does have its challenges. Hecker said engineers are estimating the design would increase the city’s Please see TENNIS, page 2A

Allergy season here early but should be typical kbritt@ljworld.com

Energy smart: The Journal-World makes the most of renewable resources. www.b-e-f.org

Allergy season arrived a few weeks earlier this year, but it’s not as bad as it was a few years ago when pollen counts were 10 times higher than normal.

Dr. Warren Frick, of Asthma Allergy & Rheumatology Associates in Lawrence, described the season thus far as pretty typical but early. He said wind can make allergies worse, while rain will make them less severe.

His suggestions for helping to reduce symptoms:

Avoid the outdoor activities in the mornings when pollen counts are highest.

Keep windows closed.

Run central air system fan so it pulls air through the filter and can help filter out pollen.

KCK police officer lauded for devotion to DUI arrests KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — A Kansas City, Kan., police officer who has taken about 10,000 drunken drivers to jail during his nearly 20-year career said he’s driven by a chance to help people, including those who are drunk behind the wheel.

Officer Kenneth Garrett made more than 400 arrests for DUI last year, far more than any other officer in Kansas, The Kansas City Star reported last week.

“Everybody finds their niche at some point,” Garrett said. “My little niche is finding drunks.”

Garrett has been involved in several humorous or unusual arrests.

Three drunken drivers have collided with Garrett’s patrol car, one on purpose. He also arrested the drivers of two large

“

Everybody finds their niche at some point. My little niche is finding drunks.”

— Officer Kenneth Garrett, who has arrested about 10,000 drunken drivers in a nearly 20-year career RVs that crashed while racing around a parking lot at Kansas Speedway.

He considers enforcing drunken driving laws a serious business.

“You get tired of the drunk drivers,” he said.

“You see all of the property damage, all of the injuries and all of the deaths they cause.”

Carl McDonald, national law enforcement initiatives manager for MADD, said it’s rare to see an of-

ficer like Garrett, who has consistently recorded a large number of DUI arrests over such a long period.

As the police department’s DUI coordinator and only full-time DUI enforcement officer, Garrett varies his methods for finding drunken drivers.

Sometimes he’ll park and run radar at certain locations, while other times he drives around looking for signs of impaired driving, such as drivers who are weaving, making wide turns, straddling lane dividers or driving at night without headlights.

Capt. Moses Toledo, who leads the department’s traffic support unit, said Garrett is “definitely an asset to the department.”

Try over-the-counter eye drops and antihistamines like Allegra, Zyrtec and Claritin. “If that’s not cutting it, patients should seek prescription medicine where there’s many more options,” Frick said.

Hy-Vee pharmacist Cody Poell said he has seen allergy sufferers earlier this season too, and some have mistaken the symptoms as a cold.

The design also would require a city variance allowing for 70-foot light poles — instead of the maximum 60-foot poles — to be installed. The taller poles, engineers say, would allow for the lights to be shined more directly downward onto the court.

But residents who live near the courts said they’re still not convinced the plan will protect their homes from being impacted by the lights.

“Most of what we have been told will work on paper hasn’t worked in the real world,” said Dan Coleman, who lives across the street from the tennis complex.

Frick said allergy symptoms include itchy, watery, swollen, red eyes; a runny, stuffy, itchy nose; sneezing; itchy throat; itching deep in the ear; and coughing. He said it’s allergies when nasal discharge is clear and the symptoms last longer than a few days or a week.

Colds typically involve fevers or chills, and allergies do not.

ments completed at Lawrence High within the last several years.

Now, neighbors are asking the city to look for other options to accommodate the tennis-playing public that wants access to evening courts.

The city had been in discussions with Kansas University to add lights to eight KU courts along Naismith CITY Drive, as COMMISSION long as the university would allow the courts to be open to the public. But Parks and Recreation leaders were told recently KU is going through several planning processes that doesn’t allow the university to commit to the long-term future of the courts.

Neighbors, though, said they want the city to also consider adding lights to the five courts at Free State High, which is more isolated from a residential neighborhood.

But some members of the Lawrence Tennis

Association said having only five lighted courts would make it more difficult to run tennis tournaments or conduct weeknight league play. Plus, association members said it seems fair that the city light eight courts, because that is how many were lit prior to the LHS renovations.

“To us it seemed like the deal was that we would get back what we lost,” said Grace Vogel, a board member for the association.

But board members said they’re also sympathetic to the concerns of neighbors and are looking to ensure the city has proper facilities that will allow tennis to continue to grow in popularity.

City Hall leaders haven’t yet set a date for city commissioners to take up the issue, but they’ve indicated it could be on a commission agenda as soon as March 27.

LOTTERY lies redeployed to Kansas from Germany.

The city’s goal was to foster spin-off economic growth and fuel a surge in tax receipts to finance expansion.

However, the national recession took hold. War raged in Iraq and Afghanistan. Demand from U.S. Army troops for off-base housing didn’t fully materialize. Construction fizzled in new subdivisions fitted with water lines, sewers and streets.

Disenchanted residents formed the Junction City Taxpayers Association to sound a debt-crisis alarm.

In addition to the city’s escalating debt, local taxpayers were absorbing $30 million in bonds for schools and $34 million in bonds for the community hospital.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched a criminal inquiry into actions of a Lawrence housing developer and a Junction City politician.

Michael “Mick” Wunder, a former Junction City mayor, was sentenced to

24 months in prison for taking bribes from David Freeman, who secured city development contracts with Wunder’s help.

Freeman was sentenced to 18 months in prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

Junction City, meanwhile, nearly fell into bankruptcy. On Feb. 28, 2010, the city’s accounts held $98,000 in cash to support a $37 million budget.

Junction City Mayor Pat Landes, elected to the city commission in 2011, said the city’s financial position had improved following adoption two years ago of a 1-cent, 10-year sales tax hike dedicated to paying bond debt.

Last year, the city commission reduced staffing, trimmed department spending and approved a property tax increase to help balance the budget.

“Junction City residents have sacrificed a great deal,” Landes said. “The spending spree is over and we now have an excellent staff in place to carry us forward.”

Treanor begins construction on new downtown office

begun on a $2.2 million project to build a new downtown office headquarters for Lawrencebased Treanor Architects.

Crews have begun work at 1040 Vt., the former Strong’s Office Supply store, to revamp the building and add a second story to the structure.

Work originally was scheduled to begin last summer on the project, but a spokesman for Treanor said the project is now on track to be finished by late October or early November.

“It has taken us longer to get started than we thought,” said Bill Fleming, an attorney and spokesman for Treanor.

“But that has mainly just been architects working for architects. You can imagine how particular they have gotten. I can say that since I’m not an architect.”

The office project will allow Treanor to have all of its Lawrence employees

to consider revoking or suspending the bar’s liquor license.

“We are in the process of collecting and analyzing information regarding the activities at the Taste Lounge, and depending on this review, city staff may recommend the city request such a hearing before the ABC,” Wheeler said.

Dante Marcus Fields was arrested early Saturday during a vehicle stop that Lawrence police made in west Lawrence after a 1:30 a.m. shooting outside Taste Lounge. A 30-year-old Lawrence man was taken by private vehicle to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, said Capt. Bill Cory, a patrol shift supervisor.

Fields faces charges of aggravated battery, theft and possession of mari-

— Bill Fleming, an attorney and spokesman for Treanor Architects in one office. Currently Treanor has about 55 employees between its office spaces at 1501 W. Sixth St. and 110 McDonald Drive.

But Treanor, which also has offices in Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis and Dallas, is designing the building to house more than 70 employees in the near term. The building will serve as the corporate headquarters for the entire company.

Fleming said the company’s employees should provide a boost to downtown through additional dining and retail purchases. The idea of bringing more daytime workers to the downtown area was a major reason city commissioners supported a property tax break for the project.

In April, commissioners agreed to use the Neighborhood Revitalization Act to provide a partial re-

bate of the new property taxes that will be generated by the project. The city, county and school district will continue to receive all the taxes they currently receive from the property.

But as the project is built and the tax bill rises, Treanor will receive a rebate for the next 10 years.

The rebate will start at 95 percent in year No. 1 but gradually fall to 20 percent by year 10. After 10 years, the project will not receive a rebate.

“I know we are excited to be coming downtown, and I think downtown will be excited to have us,” Fleming said.

The project also shores up Treanor Architects’ long-term future in the city. Lawrence businessman Mike Treanor still serves as chairman of the company, but over the last several months he has

The building project will cause some changes in parking around the 10th and Vermont street area.

In the city-owned parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont, the city will be converting 29 free, twohour parking spots into 10-hour metered parking lots to accommodate the project. Several short-term parking meters along Vermont Street and also along nearby North Park Street also will be converted into 10-hour metered spaces in order to provide more locations for employees of the new building to park. Like all downtown development projects, the building is not required to provide its own off-street parking.

The project also is expected to eventually affect the downtown Lawrence Tuesday afternoon Farmers’ Market — but not this year. The farmers’ market uses the parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont for its Tuesday afternoon

phone numbers listed for the bar were not operable Monday, and attempts to reach the registered agent for Taste, Lee Riley of Topeka, were not successful.

Wheeler said the city periodically reviews reports of incidents at drinking establishments because a 2009 state law gives cities and counties the authority to request hearings on their liquor licenses.

The city has pursued this avenue in recent years against nightclubs that had problems with violence. Owners of Last Call closed the nightclub in the 700 block of New Hampshire Street after a legal battle with the city.

In 2009, owners of the former Club Axis, 821 Iowa, previously known as Moon Bar, also closed its doors and put the building up for sale and surrendered the club’s state liquor license.

a specific return on investment, or a defined contribution plan, which is more like a 401 (k)-style system.

If approved on a final vote, the measure would then go to the Senate, which is working on its own plan.

Supporters of the overhaul say it is necessary to fill in a long-term funding problem with KPERS, which has been caused, in part, by years of inadequate funding from the state.

“Our hope is that 30 years from now, somebody will look back and say this is a great retirement program,” Grange said.

But employee representatives oppose the measure because it would provide less in retirement benefits. Income replacement in the cash balance plan is expected to be from 30 percent to 35 percent of salary, while the current pension plan replaces 48 percent to 52 percent.

An amendment was approved that would allow gaming revenues to help pay down the unfunded liability for current KPERS contributors.

During debate, there was a move to amend the bill to make it easier to build a casino in southeast Kansas. But the amendment was struck down after it was declared that it was unrelated to the underlying bill.

An amendment was approved that would eliminate the part of the state pension law that allows legislators to use a 372day annual calendar to calculate their retirement benefits.

But City Hall leaders have said the market may need to search for another location for its weekday market in future years because the lot is expected to attract a significant number of vehicles.

AFGHANISTAN KILLINGS

Lawyer: Suspect remembers little

By Gene Johnson and John Milburn Associated Press

FORT LEAVENWORTH — The Army staff sergeant accused of slaughtering 16 Afghan civilians in a nighttime shooting rampage has a sketchy memory of the night of the massacre, his lawyer said Monday after meeting his client for the first time.

Lawyer John Henry Browne said Robert Bales remembers some details from before and after the Bales killings but very little or nothing of the time the military believes he went on a shooting spree through two Afghan villages.

“He has some memory of some things that happened that night. He has some memories of before the incident, and he has some memories of after the incident. In between, very little,” Browne told The Associated Press by telephone from Fort Leavenworth, where Bales is being held.

Pressed on whether Bales can remember anything about the shooting, Browne said, “No,” but added: “I haven’t gotten

that far with him yet.”

In an earlier interview with CBS, Browne said unequivocally that Bales can’t remember the shootings.

Meanwhile, records show Bales owes $1.5 million from an arbitration ruling nearly a decade ago that found him guilty of securities fraud.

Bales, 38, has not been charged yet in the March 11 shootings, though charges could come this week. The killings sparked protests in Afghanistan, endangered relations between the two countries and threatened to upend American policy over the decade-old war.

Earlier Monday, Browne met with his client behind bars for the first time to begin building a defense and said the soldier gave a powerfully moving account of what it is like to be on the ground in Afghanistan.

Browne said he and Bales, who is being held in an isolated cell at the military prison, met for more than three hours at Fort Leavenworth.

“What’s going on on the ground in Afghanistan, you read about it. I read about it. But it’s totally different when you hear about it from somebody who’s been there,” Browne told the AP. “It’s just really emotional.”

BRIEFLY Woman injured in fall from horse

LMH to dedicate infusion rooms

A woman was taken to a Kansas City, Kan., hospital Monday morning after falling from a horse southeast of Lawrence, said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

Lewis said the woman was thrown from the horse.

She was taken to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., by ground ambulance.

The accident occurred about 9:45 a.m. near the 1500 section of North 1175 Road.

Medics on the scene had asked for a helicopter ambulance, but Lewis said air ambulance services advised they were not flying Monday morning because of the weather.

In honor of the late Jamie Barkes Pursley, Lawrence Memorial Hospital will dedicate newly renovated infusion rooms in its Oncology Center on March 30.

The event, which is open to the public, will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and program will start at 6 p.m.

One year ago, Pursley died at age 35 after a fiveyear battle with breast cancer. After Pursley learned that her cancer was terminal, she said she wanted to give back to the LMH Oncology Center, where she spent many hours receiving treatment. She told her friends she wanted the infusion rooms to look and feel less like a hospital and more like a place of refuge.

In August, her friends started an organization called “Jamie’s Wish,” where they put together a plan to raise money for the renovation project, setting a fundraising goal of $100,000. They reached their goal in November.

The LMH Oncology Center serves about 600 new patients each year and administers about 18,000 treatments. Those treatments can be up to eight hours long.

Program to explore urban agriculture A program, Foodscapes: Urban Agriculture, Sustainable Design and Community Health, will be at 7:30 p.m. March 29 at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive.

The program will cover what it takes to feed a community, improve health and create jobs. Panelists will talk about the challenges in urban agriculture and identify some successful models.

The panelists include Daniel Dermitzel of Cultivate KC, Bob Berkebile of the architecture, design and planning firm BNIM, and Steve Roling of the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City.

“In our ongoing efforts to provide programming on a wide range of topics that intersect politics, we are thrilled to explore the topic of healthy, sustainable living,” said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. “This event is sure to highlight innovative practices, emerging trends and the ways in which policy, local governments and markets play a part.”

The program is co-sponsored by The Merc, Kansas Public Radio, KU Center for Sustainability, American Institute of Architecture Students - KU Chapter, American Society of Civil Engineers - KU Chapter, and the Bachelor of Social Work Student Group at KU.

KBA panel approves $126K investment The Kansas Bioscience Authority’s Investment Committee on Monday approved an investment of more than $126,000 for a Kansas City, Kan.-based company to develop an injectable version of a painkiller.

The committee approved the matching grant investment for Orbis Biosciences, located in the Bioscience and Technology Business Center at Kansas University Medical Center.

The new painkiller would be effective for five to seven days with one dose.

The investment will be matched by a federal grant of more than $253,000.

At the same meeting, the investment committee failed to take action on two other proposals, sending them back to its staff for further review.

David Vranicar, interim president and CEO of the authority, didn’t reveal the identities of the applicants for funding, and the committee discussed the requests in closed session.

Book being published on ‘Deep Throat’ ————

University Press work reveals motives of man in Watergate case

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A new book being published by the University Press of Kansas on the reasons why the man known as “Deep Throat” helped newspaper reporters in the Watergate case caught the attention of John Dean, a former White House counsel who served President Richard Nixon.

Dean was charged with obstruction of justice and spent four months in prison for his role in the Watergate cover-up. He was asked by the publisher to read the manuscript and

wrote in an online article that he thought the author, Max Holland, successfully navigated the vast historical record.

“Holland’s narrowed focus then enabled him to deal with this massive record,” Dean wrote. “By seeking the assistance of others who know this record well, he was able to be certain he had found virtually all of the available material that was relevant to his inquiry.”

Max Holland’s book, “Leak: Why Mark Felt Became Deep Throat,” seeks to answer that question.

Michael Briggs, editorin-chief at the University

Press in Lawrence, edited the book. The short answer, Briggs said, is that Felt was upset he was not immediately chosen for the FBI director’s position after J. Edgar Hoover died.

Felt revealed in 2005 that he was Deep Throat.

He died in 2008.

Briggs said University Press is designed to serve the state universities in Kansas, but it looks all over to find authors and topics in its areas of specialization.

“We recruit nationwide” for authors and book ideas, Briggs said.

The press has taken a special interest in the top-

ics of American politics, American history and military studies, Briggs said.

For that reason, University Press took an interest in Holland, an independent scholar and journalist, and his project, he said. Holland, who had initially been working with a commercial publisher for the work, took an interest in the press because of its previous books on Watergate, Briggs said.

“I’m really proud of the book,” Briggs said.

4 slain at French Jewish school Panel: Problem

schools hurt nation’s security

By Jamey Keaten and Johanna Decorse Associated Press

TOULOUSE, FRANCE — A motorbike assailant opened fire with two handguns Monday in front of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and a girl. One witness described him as a man chasing small children and “looking to kill.”

One of the guns he used also had been fired in two other deadly motorbike attacks in the area that targeted paratroopers of North African and French Caribbean origin, officials said. French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested one person was responsible for all the killings.

A massive manhunt was under way, and the terrorism alert level was raised to its highest level ever across a swath of southern France surrounding Toulouse.

Hundreds of officers increased security at schools, synagogues and mosques around the country, and Sarkozy said 14 riot police units “will secure the region as long as this criminal” hasn’t been caught.

Monday’s attack revolted France and drew strong condemnation from Israel and the United States. Sarkozy called it the worst school shooting in French history.

This country is particularly sensitive toward its Jewish community because of its World War II past of abetting Nazi occupiers in deporting Jewish citizens.

French prosecutors were studying possible terrorist links, but the motive for all three attacks was unclear. Still, issues about religious minorities and race have emerged prominently in France’s presidential campaign, in

which the conservative Sarkozy has taken his traditional hard line against immigration.

News that the gun was used in attacks last week around Toulouse fueled suspicions that a serial killer was targeting not only Jews but French minorities.

In all three cases, the attacker came on a motorcycle, apparently alone, and then sped away.

Monday’s attack was as quick as it was terrifying.

A 30-year-old rabbi, Jona-

than Sandler, and two of his sons were killed just before classes started at the Ozar Hatorah school, a junior high and high school in a quiet neighborhood, Toulouse Prosecutor Michel Valet said. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the sons were 4- and 5-years-old.

Another child, the 7-year-old daughter of the school principal, was also killed, school officials said. Valet said a 17-yearold boy was also seriously wounded.

Romney seeks primary-fight breaking point CHICAGO (AP) — His confidence surging, Mitt Romney pointedly ignored his Republican rivals on the eve of today’s high-stakes primary election in Illinois and turned his Romney fire instead on the Democrat he hopes to oust in the fall.

Romney pushed into President Barack Obama’s home territory, assailing Obama’s economic creden-

tials on the Chicago campus where the president taught for more than a decade.

“Freedom is on the ballot this year,” Romney told students and supporters, contending that the nation’s recovery from recession was being limited by an “assault on our economic freedom”

by Obama. “I am offering a real choice and a very different beginning,” he said.

While Republican rival Rick Santorum courted anti-Romney conservatives across Illinois, the frontrunner was trying to show he was more than ready to

rise above the grinding GOP primary battle and move toward a general election matchup against Obama.

Romney has secured more delegates than his opponents combined, and his nomination seems more assured each week as Santorum’s shoestring campaign struggles under the weight of continued disorganization.

But a victory in Illinois’ primary today is by no means assured.

Romney has spent big on advertising here, and he will have devoted more than three straight days to

the state by the time votes are counted tonight.

After embarrassing Santorum with a one-sided victory in Puerto Rico Sunday, the Romney campaign sees in Illinois a potential breaking point for stubborn rivals who have defiantly vowed to stay in the race until the GOP’s national convention in August. Should Santorum and Newt Gingrich stay politically alive until then and follow through on their threat, it could turn the convention into an intra-party fight for the first time since 1976.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable The government is taking a tentative step toward making it easier for airlines to allow passengers to use personal electronic devices such as tablets, e-readers and music players during takeoffs and landings.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it is “exploring ways to bring together all of the key stakeholders involved,” including airlines, aircraft manufacturers, consumer electronics makers, and flight attendant unions, to discuss whether there are practical ways to test devices to see if they are safe for passengers to use during critical phases of flight.

Technically, FAA rules already permit any airline to test specific makes and models to determine if they generate enough power that they could interfere with sensitive cockpit radios, navigation instruments and other critical equipment.

Apple to offer shareholders dividend, stock buybacks

By Peter Svensson Associated Press

NEW YORK — Apple is finally acknowledging that it has more money than it needs. But don’t expect it to cut prices on iPhones and iPads. Instead, the company said on Monday that it will reward its shareholders with a dividend and a share buyback program.

Apple, the world’s most valuable company, sits on $97.6 billion in cash and securities. The decision to return some of that money to investors is a clear signal that Apple is taking a different approach in the post-Jobs era.

Former CEO Steve Jobs resisted calls to issue dividends for years. He argued that the money was better used to give Apple maneuvering room to, for instance, make strategic acquisitions. Apple did pay a quarterly dividend between 1987 and 1995, but Jobs was not involved with the company at the time.

Jobs died in October after a long fight with cancer.

On Monday, new CEO Tim Cook said that, with as much cash as Apple has on hand, a dividend won’t restrain the company’s options.

APPLE CEO TIM COOK gestures during the introduction of the iPhone 4S, at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., in this Oct. 4, 2011, photo. Apple Inc. is finally using its $98 billion pile of cash to reward shareholders, saying it’s instituting both a dividend and share buyback program.

“These decisions will not close any doors for us,” he told analysts and reporters on a conference call.

Had it kept amassing cash and low-yielding securities, Apple eventually could have opened itself to a legal challenge from shareholders, who could have argued that it was misusing their money.

Apple said that it will pay a quarterly dividend

of $2.65 per share, starting in its fiscal fourth quarter, which begins July 1.

The dividend works out to $10.60 annually, or 1.8 percent of the current stock price. Analyst Tavis McCourt at Morgan Keegan said the dividend is relatively generous for a large technology company. However, Microsoft Corp., pays 2.5 percent of its stock price in dividends, and Hewlett-Packard Co. pays 2 percent.

Energy and phone companies often pay dividends worth more than 5 percent of their stock price.

In absolute terms, Apple will pay one of the richest dividends in the U.S. It will spend more than $10 billion on dividends in its first year, placing it just below companies including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., which use dividends as their main way to attract investors.

Apple generated $31 billion in cash in the fiscal year that ended in September and is on pace to generate even more in the current year. That means its cash pile will continue to grow even with a dividend and a buyback program, albeit at a lower rate.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s security and economic prosperity are at risk if America’s schools don’t improve, warns a task force led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Joel Klein, the former chancellor of New York City’s school system.

The re- Rice port cautions that far too many schools fail to adequately prepare students.

“The dominant power of the 21st Klein century will depend on human capital,” it said. “The failure to produce that capital will undermine American security.”

The task force said that the State Department and U.S. intelligence agencies face critical shortfalls in the number of foreign language speakers, and that fields such as science, defense and aerospace are at particular risk because a shortage of skilled workers is expected to worsen as baby boomers retire.

According to the panel, 75 percent of young adults don’t qualify to serve in the military because they are physically unfit, have criminal records or inadequate levels of education. That’s in part because 1 in 4 students fails to graduate from high school in four years, and a high school diploma or the equivalent is needed to join the military. But another 30 percent of high school grad-

uates don’t do well enough in math, science and English on an aptitude test to serve in the military, the report said.

The task force, consisting of 30 members with backgrounds in areas such as education and foreign affairs, was organized by the Council on Foreign Relations, a New York-based research and policy organization focused on international issues. The report was scheduled to be released today.

Too many Americans are deficient in both global awareness and knowledge that is “essential for understanding America’s allies and its adversaries,” the report concludes.

“Leaving large swaths of the population unprepared also threatens to divide Americans and undermines the country’s cohesion, confidence, and ability to serve as a global leader,” the report said.

Rice and Klein said in interviews that they are encouraged by efforts to improve schools such as the adoption of “common core” standards set in reading and math in a vast majority of states and the Obama administration’s “Race to the Top” competition, in which states compete for federal money in exchange for more meaningful teacher evaluations.

But, they added, the pace to improve America’s schools must accelerate.

“The rest of the world is not sitting by while we, in a rather deliberate fashion, reform the education system,” Rice said.

Klein said he hopes the findings will prompt discussions beyond the education community that engage those in the defense and foreign policy establishments about how to improve schools.

Mission creep hits Export-Import Bank

EDITORIALS

Law school rankings Kansas University’s new law school dean is taking action to improve the national rankings for his school.

A

recent Journal-World story reported the latest U.S. News and World Reports academic ranking for the nation’s public universities.

Kansas University had 10 programs ranked in the top 10, but KU alumni and friends were surprised and disappointed to learn the magazine had dropped the KU School of Law 22 spots in the past two years. Its current national ranking is 89th.

Stephen Mazza has just finished his first year as dean of the KU law school, and it’s understandable he is not happy about the slippage of his school in the U.S. News ranking. He already has made changes within the school to correct some situations.

One part, a major part, of the U.S. News assessments is based on a review of 2010 law school graduation records.

The magazine’s report for next year will be based on 2011 graduation records so there is little Mazza could to do to correct or improve either year’s rankings for KU. The law school scores quite well in numerous categories, but it gets low marks for its employment records for 2010 graduates. According to Mazza, the low ranking occurred because the school did not have complete employment records for 2010 grads and the same is true for the class of 2011. Mazza is aware of this embarrassing situation and has hired new people to correct the record-keeping problem.

Another factor in KU’s poor showing was the school’s low tuition cost. Mazza says he will not inflate tuition merely to score higher in the magazine’s rankings.

Obviously Mazza is disappointed with the school’s poor showing. Too often, the response from university officials is that rankings really don’t mean much, that they are more popularity contests than a true reflection of a school’s academic excellence and that “we don’t put too much stock in rankings.”

That may be the dodge or excuse used by many in the academic community, but Mazza realizes rankings are important because the general public, state legislators, students, parents and donors all look at rankings.

Mazza is determined to improve his school’s ranking but by legitimate means, not by playing games with tuition or making temporary hires to improve the employment number for recent graduates.

WASHINGTON — Sallie James was born in Australia on July 4, 1976, which suggests that Providence planned what happened 30 years later: She moved to Washington. She studies trade policy at the libertarian Cato Institute and her report “Time to X Out the Ex-Im Bank” illustrates how corporate welfare metastasizes as government tries to rectify the inevitable inequities of its constantly multiplying favoritisms. And while picking American winners, the Export-Import Bank creates American losers.

The bank, whose current reauthorization expires May 31, and which two months before that might hit the $100 billion cap on its loan exposure, subsidizes myriad export transactions with guaranteed loans to make U.S. exports cheaper.

Mission creep is a metabolic urge of government agencies, but there may be mission gallop at the bank as it tries to correct the collateral damage it does to some U.S. companies, and as it is pushed to further politicize credit markets by mirroring the marketdistorting policies of foreign governments.

The bank’s website says it helps “to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing that other governments provide to their exporters.” But a leveler’s work is never done.

There is a reason critics have called Ex-Im “Boeing’s bank.” America’s biggest exporter is by far the biggest beneficiary of the bank’s activities. But when the bank’s

Mission creep is a metabolic urge of government agencies, but there may be mission gallop at the bank as it tries to correct the collateral damage it does to some U.S. companies…” interventions in financing help Boeing sell planes to China, India and other nations, it enhances the ability of those nations’ airlines to compete — often using discounted excess capacity — with U.S. international carriers.

The bank is only lightly constrained by the law that supposedly leashes it. The bank is required to consider “any serious adverse effect” on U.S. companies before supporting foreign purchasers in order to help other U.S. companies. But Richard B. Hirst, general counsel of Delta Air Lines, charges that the bank exempts 99.8 percent of its transactions from this requirement.

Hirst says that from 2005 to 2010, the bank “financed or guaranteed the financing for purchases of 634 Boeing

aircraft” and in 2011 it “authorized over $11.4 billion in financing for foreign airlines to purchase Boeing aircraft.”

Because airlines are capital intensive, subsidized loans give foreign carriers a competitive advantage over U.S. international carriers. Hirst says that if Delta had been eligible for similar subsidies, “it could have saved approximately $100 million a year in financing costs,” and could have used that money to hire more workers “or even purchase additional aircraft from Boeing.”

To which Washington’s likely response will be: Fine, let’s expand the bank’s mandate. Speaking last month at a Boeing plant in Everett, Wash., President Obama pledged “to give American companies a fair shot by matching the unfair export financing that their competitors receive from other countries.” This looks like a promise to compound market distortions by further politicizing credit markets, while enunciating no limiting principle.

Obama is directing the bank to offer United Airlines a subsidy to match any subsidy Canada offers to persuade United to choose the Montreal-made Bombardier as United chooses between it, Boeing and Airbus. So American taxpayers will subsidize United to subsidize Boeing, which is already being subsidized in ways injurious to Delta and others.

There is an understandable urge to counter the subsidies that foreign governments give to companies compet-

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 20, 1912: “Reports of high water YEARS west of Lawrence reached AGO here today. Although IN 1912 there is no perceptible rise in the Kaw river here it is reported that the water is high at Topeka and west of that place that the rise is coming rapidly. The Journal-World received many inquiries today about whether high water was coming or not.”

“The local police department has been asked to assist in freeing the Santa Fe depot of loafers. The officials of the road complained that they were very much annoyed by this sort of thing and have asked the police department to enforce more strictly the ordinance against such trespassing.”

ing with U.S. companies. The result, however, is an increasingly mercantilist world. And as Hirst’s argument indicates, it is difficult to prove that the net effect is to increase employment rather than just redistribute employment to different — and, inevitably, politically astute — companies and sectors.

As Sallie James says, public choice theory teaches that government favors flow to the politically connected.

And favor-dispensing institutions such as the ExportImport Bank are dispensing incentives for private interests to develop lucrative political connections.

What next? Look for proposals to authorize the bank to subsidize U.S. manufacturers competing with foreign imports that have price advantages because of government subsidies. And so it goes, subsidies begetting counter-subsidies, as U.S. trade policy is increasingly set by foreign governments.

Politicians, however, enjoy being drawn into largesse sweepstakes, which pretty much define the political profession today. So expect the bank to survive and even thrive, with its cap raised from $100 billion to $140 billion.

Congress’ normal reaction to wayward institutions is to extend their lives, expand their mandates and increase their money. In Washington, the penalty for slipping the leash of law is a longer leash and a larger purse.

Sleepless fans To the editor: We currently live overseas in the city of Larnaca, Cyprus. We watched the KU-Purdue game from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. local time on our laptop via the Internet. It was well worth getting up in the middle of the night to see the ’Hawks pull that game out! Go Jayhawks! Keep up the good work and we will keep gettiing up at all hours to cheer you on!

Pastor defended To the editor: My brother-in-law is a retired pastor in the United Church of Christ, a mostly white denomination of which Trinity Church in Chicago is a member. Their retired pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has always been highly regarded as a fine pastor doing marvelous work on Chicago’s Southside.

After the right-wing media began to smear him, several Chicago reporters read over 1,000 of Rev. Wright’s sermons, and only found two which had anything that seemed controversial. The famous “G-D America” statement was actually a quote from a speech by a white man who was as incensed at the racism on the Southside as Rev. Wright was. Rev. Wright is neither anti-American, nor a racist, nor a homophobe. He was the pastor who brought President Obama to know Christ and become a Christian.

Intelligent people with open minds are able to meet and converse with many people of various points of view over the years.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Everybody’s talking about …

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mizzou gets assist for KU’s victory

Elena Delle Donne

Bill Self has taken two Tulsa teams, all three Illinois squads and each of his nine Kansas University clubs to the NCAA Tournament.

He has compiled a 29-12 record in tourney games — including a 20-7 mark at Kansas — has been to the Elite Eight six times and won a national championship in 2008.

Yet, until Sunday night in the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., the 19th-year Division I college basketball coach had never coached a team that won an NCAA Tournament game it trailed at halftime.

Kansas didn’t lead in its 63-60 victory against Purdue until Elijah Johnson hit a three-pointer with 3:04 left.

The Jayhawks trailed at the half, 36-30, a deficit that grew to 10 points before the comeback started.

The victory made Self 1-9 in NCAA Tournament games in which his team was behind at the half, 28-3 when leading.

Most of his teams aren’t accustomed to falling behind, so when it happens, the pressure of playing catch-up ball without a great deal of experience at it mounts, and the final buzzer sounds too early.

Not playing well from behind, to a large extent, can be a consequence of being too good, scoring too many blowouts, experiencing little more than relief after victories, dejection after losses.

This team is different from most of Self’s in that it Danny Johnston/AP Photos doesn’t routinely overwhelm opponents with talent and AS COACHES AND PLAYERS FROM KANSAS AND DELAWARE — INCLUDING, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT, KU COACH BONNIE HENRICKSON, has to rely more on will than Delaware forward Danielle Parker, KU forward Chelsea Gardner, Delaware coach Tina Martin, KU forward Aishah Sutherland and skill to win consistently.

Ex-KU linebacker involved in altercation J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University officials confirmed Sunday that former KU football player Banks Floodman, currently a fund-raiser for KU’s Williams Fund, was involved in an altercation in Kansas City, Mo., following the Big 12 Tournament games on March 9.

Kansas spokesman Jim Marchiony said Floodman suffered facial injuries that required surgery Saturday at the University of Kansas Hospital.

The Wichita native and former KU linebacker was released Sunday and, according to Marchiony, was “doing fine.”

UConn stifles KSU, 72-26 The Associate Press Danny Johnston/AP Photo

DELAWARE COACH TINA MARTIN, CENTER, CELEBRATES with Elena Delle Donne, left, and Stephanie Leon after defeating Arkansas-Little Rock, 72-43, in the Blue Hens’ NCAA Tournament opener Sunday in Little Rock, Ark. Delaware will meet Kansas at 8:40 tonight.

KU women CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

in an attempt to thwart Delle Donne, but she didn’t want to make so many changes with such a narrow window for preparation that the Jayhawks would confuse themselves.

“There’s some things that we can’t control, and she can just hit ridiculous shots,” the eighth-year KU coach said of Delle Donne.

“We’ve got to make sure we can manage the emotion of that. We’ve got to try to make a play and not let her get the same thing, but we recognize that.”

KU junior captain and point guard Angel Goodrich said facing unbeaten Baylor (34-0) and consensus player-of-the-year candidate Britney Griner in Big 12 play should prepare the Jayhawks for the daunting task that awaits them.

A significant difference with Delle Donne is that she is three inches shorter than Griner, and she is a threat from behind the three-point line.

Goodrich (13.3 points, NCAA-leading 7.4 assists) said the Kansas forwards, especially senior Aishah Sutherland, would have to be active defensively on the perimeter.

“It’s gonna be a good match-up. Aishah, we trust her,” Goodrich said of the athletic 6-2 forward.

“It’s just going to be a team effort.”

PROBABLE STARTERS KANSAS (20-12) G — Angel Goodrich, 5-4, jr.

G — Natalie Knight, 5-7, fr.

G — CeCe Harper, 5-8, so.

F — Aishah Sutherland, 6-2, sr.

G — Trumae Lucas, 5-8, jr.

G — Akeema Richards, 5-7, so.

F — Danielle Parker, 6-2, jr.

F — Elena Delle Donne, 6-5, jr.

Tipoff: 8:40 tonight, Little Rock, Ark. TV: ESPN2 (Knology Cable channels 34, 234) Henrickson indicated that three of KU’s forwards — Sutherland and subs freshman Bunny Williams and sophomore Tania Jackson — probably would guard Delle Donne at one point or another, but freshman starter Chelsea Gardner might not figure into that mix.

“Aishah will have the match-up to begin with, but Aishah can’t guard her for 40 minutes,” Henrickson said. “There’s no way.

We’re going to have to move some people around. “(Delle Donne) is too tough a match-up. And how much of the offense goes through her?”

Sutherland said she isn’t going to alter her approach just because Delaware has a superstar on its roster.

“I’m just going to face up, and I’m going to play my same game and not make any changes,” said Sutherland, who is averaging 13.8 points and 8.9 rebounds. “We’re going to go out there and play hard and play with the team and just play together.

NOTEBOOK

That’s what we need to do.”

Gardner, meanwhile, is hoping for results similar to her night against the Huskers in the first round, when she reached career highs of 15 points and 16 rebounds.

“Just play like I played (Sunday), going for the boards, offensive and defensive boards, and just playing deep (in the paint),” she said.

If the Jayhawks can get some sort of contribution from all nine players — Goodrich, Gardner, Sutherland, Williams, Jackson and guards Natalie Knight, CeCe Harper, Monica Engelman and Asia Boyd — like they did against Nebraska, their surprising postseason might continue to the Sweet 16.

Said Henrickson: “We talked about how good it felt to see our name pop up on the selection show on Monday, and then the only feeling that would top that would be to win, and now the only thing that can top (Sunday) night is to win (again).”

Coach: KU must shoot better

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — Kansas University’s women’s basketball team didn’t have the hottest shooting night in its NCAA Tournament first-round victory over Nebraska on Sunday at Jack Stephens Center.

The Jayhawks hit just 25 of their 66 attempts, including a 2-for-13 effort from three-point range, and made just five of their 10 free throws while upsetting the Huskers, 57-49.

KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said her team will need to be much more efficient at 8:40 tonight, when the Jayhawks (2012) face Delaware (31-1), which averages 71.8 points a game.

“We shot it really well in practice the day before, and that always makes me nervous,” Henrickson cracked, regarding the 38-percent shooting effort in the opening round.

While some of KU’s guards struggled to convert — sophomore CeCe Harper went 1-for-7, freshman Natalie Knight was 2-for-7, freshman Asia Boyd made two of six and junior Monica Engelman finished 0-for-5 — Henrickson wasn’t completely dismayed.

“CeCe Harper’s a better shooter than that, and then she just wouldn’t shoot it,” Henrickson said of Harper’s slow start. “So

we’re all screaming ‘Drive it,’ and she finally drove it and got a layup (with 3:15 left in the game).”

The eighth-year Kansas coach, fresh off her first NCAA Tournament appearance and victory at KU, said the Jayhawks got good looks and just shot a few out of rhythm.

“This group, they don’t take bad shots,” she said.

“They’re not selfish by any stretch of the imagination.”

If anything, the inefficient possessions came when someone wasn’t ready to shoot, Henrickson said, and the ball should’ve been moved elsewhere for an open teammate.

“We need to score the ball and shoot the ball better than we did (Sunday),” the coach said. “Defensively, it would be nice if we could be that good again, too.”

KU held Nebraska to 20-for-61 shooting (33 percent).

The Blue Hens have made 45 percent of their shots this season. Kansas averages 68.5 points and also has converted on 45 percent of its field-goal tries.

Giant killers?

Jayhawks senior forward Aishah Sutherland said Delaware’s 31-1 mark doesn’t make the Colonial Athletic Association’s regular-season and tournament champs impossible to beat.

UConn 72, Kansas State 26 BRIDGEPORT, CONN. — Bria Hartley and the Connecticut Huskies nearly played a flawless defensive game in a record rout of Kansas State.

Hartley scored 13 of her 16 points in the first half, and top-seeded UConn set a women’s NCAA Tournament record for fewest points allowed Monday night.

“I think it was definitely close to a perfect game — you can always do better,” Hartley said. “We came out with a lot more intensity than we did last game.

We used that game as motivation to play better this game.”

The Huskies (31-4) limited Kansas State to 18 percent shooting and 10 field goals, contesting virtually every shot in their second-round matchup.

“Defense is what we take pride in here,” said Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who added 15 points.

“I feel like we have a lot of good offensive players, but it doesn’t really take heart to play offense. All defense is is a lot of heart and a lot of effort and I think we put out a lot of heart and a lot of effort tonight on defense.”

UConn, which will play the winner of Penn State and LSU in Kingston, R.I., on Sunday in the regional semifinals, advanced to the round of 16 for the 19th straight season.

Huskies coach Geno Auriemma is pleased with the program’s consistency.

“Up to this point there haven’t been any breakdowns,” he said. “We haven’t found ourselves losing in the first round, or playing poorly and losing in the second round.

We just won’t allow ourselves to do that to this point. We haven’t for two decades and it’s one of the things I’m most proud of.”

Eighth-seeded Kansas State (20-14) was trying to make it that far for the first time since 2002. But the Wildcats were no match for the Huskies, unable to surpass the 27 points that Southern scored against Duke in 2006, the previous record.

“When you play a great team and compete as ineptly as we did tonight, you end up on the bad side of a big deficit,” Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said.

“I’m proud of the team for our season, disappointed in the end result.”

Brittany Chambers scored 11 points to lead the Wildcats, who went 11 minutes in the first half without a point.

“Yeah, I feel like that is a possibility (for KU to win), and we will be excited,” Sutherland said. “It’s always exciting to play against a team that hasn’t lost a lot, and it will be our motive to beat them.”

The Blue Hens haven’t lost since Dec. 29, at Maryland, which is a No. 2 seed in the tournament with a 30-4 record.

Delaware went 18-0 in the Colonial play and in non-league games defeated teams from larger conferences, such as Penn State, Villanova, Wake Forest and Providence.

Major colleges dominate this year ————

Xavier, Ohio U. lone exceptions in big-guy dominated men’s Sweet 16 The Associated Press

So much for the little guys.

Instead of parlaying an historic day of upsets into a second weekend filled with small schools, the NCAA Tournament now looks like a who’s-who of major-college programs.

All but two of the 16 teams in the regional semifinals will be from power conferences.

The lone exceptions are Xavier, which is hardly a stranger to this kind of year, and Ohio University, a big school with a small, but no longer unknown, basketball program.

According to STATS, this will be the first time since 2003 that 14 teams from the six major conferences have made the Sweet 16.

Next week’s matchups: —No. 1 Kentucky vs.

No. 4 Indiana and No. 3 Baylor vs. No. 10 Xavier in the South; No. 1 Syracuse vs. No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 6 Cincinnati in the East; No. 1 North Carolina vs. No.

13 Ohio and No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 11 North Carolina State in the Midwest; and No. 1 Michigan State vs.

No. 4 Louisville and No. 3 Marquette vs. No. 7 Florida out West.

Those 14 power-conference teams have a combined 93 Final Four appearances and 33 national titles.

While two No. 2 seeds, Duke and Missouri, fell to 15s Lehigh and Norfolk State in a history-making second round Friday, all four No. 1s got through the first week safely — the first time that’s happened since 2009. A year before that, all four top-seeded teams made it to the Final Four for the only time.

It’s possible again this year, though Carolina will have to overcome an injury to a key player to get there.

The Tar Heels defeated Creighton 87-73, but point guard Kendall Marshall broke his right (nonshooting) wrist.

Though there are few small programs — such as the Butlers and VCUs and

George Masons that have crashed the Final Four over the last decade — there will be three teams who bring double-digit seeds to the final 16.

The list starts with No. 11 North Carolina State, the program that pretty much set the standard for March Madness upsets and gave us one of the most memorable moments in college sports: Coach Jim Valvano running around the floor at The Pit, looking for someone to hug after Lorenzo Charles grabbed Dereck Whittenburg’s air ball and put it in at the buzzer for an upset over powerhouse Houston.

That was in 1983.

In 2012, the Wolfpack snuck in as one of the last at-large teams to make the field. On Sunday, they upset No. 3 Georgetown 66-63 to make it to the Midwest Regional, where they’ll play Kansas.

“We always talk about we have such great history at NC State, but it’s also time to build some new history,” coach Mark Gottfried said.

day for us,” Kentucky freshman guard Marquis Teague said after Saturday’s win over Iowa State. “We hate to lose any game. But the way we lost, that just made it worse.”

Indiana is back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2002, the year the Hoosiers made a run to the title game before losing to Maryland.

Kentucky is back in the Sweet 16 by edict of the state legislature.

Baylor faces Xavier in the other semifinal.

East The Boston regional pairs Syracuse vs. Wisconsin with Cincinnati vs.

Ohio State.

No. 6 Cincinnati won the last ticket in Sunday night with a 62-56 victory over No. 3 Florida State.

Cincinnati vs. Ohio State, on Friday, features schools that met for the 1961 and 1962 NCAA titles, Cincinnati winning both times.

The East was the most boring bracket, with every higher-seeded team winning until Cincinnati’s win over Florida State.

Carolina, in Friday’s regional semifinal in St. Louis.

Lead guard Kendall Marshall broke his right wrist on a hard fall during the Tar Heels’ win over Creighton. Marshall scored 18 points but his status for the rest of the tournament is in doubt.

North Carolina might have lost Marshall the day it welcomed forward John Henson back from a wrist injury.

What’s left of the field is definitely tilting east.

The tethers to yesteryear’s UCLA lore are Steve Lavin providing instudio analysis and Mark Gottfried somehow getting North Carolina State to the second weekend.

Lavin and Gottfried, once young UCLA assistants, are seated next to each other in the team photo from the 1995 national title team.

Gottfried’s making the Sweet 16 is a surprise.

North Carolina State was 15-16 last season before Gottfried was hired out

First Round

offers seven total program NCAA titles and an A-list coaching roster of Tom Izzo, Rick Pitino, Buzz Williams and Billy Donovan.

Top-seeded Michigan State needed every bit of Draymond Green’s lunch-box work ethic Sunday to hold off St. Louis in Columbus. Green finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in Michigan State’s 65-61 victory. He even grabbed a mop at one point and cleaned a wet spot on the court.

Green’s best move, though, was a pass that set up Keith Appling’s key three-point basket.

“I don’t need to be a hero trying to make some scoop layup,” said Green, a senior. “If I see a guy open, I’m going to hit him.”

South The showcase in Atlanta pits top-seeded Kentucky vs. No. 4 Indiana in a game featuring 12 total national titles. It’s a rematch of a Dec. 10 game won by Indiana, 73-72, on Christian Watford’s buzzer-beater.

“That was a rough

of retirement two years after he resigned midseason at Alabama.

Gottfried turned the frigate around fast, but things weren’t looking NCAA-good after the Wolfpack lost four straight games in February.

North Carolina State squeaked into the tournament as a No. 11 and then took out No. 6 San Diego State and No. 3 Georgetown.

Gottfried, in rejuvenating a fan base still reminiscing about the NCAA title years of 1974 and 1983, quoted a famous coach after Sunday’s 6663 win over Georgetown.

“John Wooden told me one time, he said, ‘Coach, don’t give them too much too fast. They might start expecting that every year.’ Well, we failed in that category already.”

North Carolina State (24-12) faces No. 2 Kansas on Friday in St. Louis.

COMMENTARY

Los Angeles Times

No. 10 Xavier comes from the Atlantic-10, the closest thing to a power conference without actually being one. This is the fourth Sweet 16 appearance in the last five years for the Musketeers, who made their biggest news this season with an ugly brawl against crosstown rival Cincinnati that led to suspensions and knocked the team out of whack.

“The only guys that know what we went through were the guys who were in the locker room,” coach Chris Mack said.

“Some would say it’s selfinflicted, but I know we have great kids. And I’m really proud of them today.”

Then, of course, there’s No. 13 Ohio — enrollment 17,000 but with a basketball program that has, well, basically nothing in common with the better-known behemoths from the state that will join them in the Sweet 16 — Ohio State, Xavier and Cincy.

“I do think our guys have a chip on their shoulder,” Ohio coach John Groce said.

Holiday, coming off a career-high 30 points in Saturday’s night loss at Chicago, was 8-of-13 shooting from the field and made all four shots from the free-throw line.

Doug Collins said before the game the key to snapping the losing skid was to get a more balanced scoring attack from his players and he got just that.

how much this bothers you. See a counselor who specializes in blended families. And contact the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info) for help.

Dear Annie: We are volunteers at an educational center that teaches English, provides tutoring and offers social services to minorities.

The problem is our supervisor. He is constantly rude and sharp with the volunteers, as well as with prospective financial donors who could help support the pro-

Will ‘River’ stay afloat?

“The River” (8 p.m., ABC) wraps up its first season tonight.

It was the fourth-rated show in its time slot last Tuesday, so don’t hold your breath for more trips up the Amazon. It’s one thing to get beaten by a repeat of “NCIS: Los Angeles” and a dollop of “The Biggest Loser,” but it’s a sinking feeling to attract fewer young viewers than the unwatchable “Breaking In.” It’s been tough sledding for new series centered on cosmic mysteries. Fox shows “Alcatraz” and “Fringe” have had difficulty finding traction with viewers, and not even a Spielberg pedigree could save Fox’s “Terra Nova” from cancellation. The only “Lost”inspired series launched this year that’s guaranteed to return is “Person of Interest” on CBS.

“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm appears on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” (11:35 p.m., NBC). Last week, Hamm, the actor who plays tortured ad executive Don Draper, stirred the pop-culture pot by citing Kim Kardashian as an example of television celebrating stupidity. His choice of words was unfortunate (and unprintable), but he’s onto something.

As someone who writes about TV on a daily basis, I’m keenly aware of how much the medium, particularly basic cable, has doubled down on the dumb. So it’s nice to see Hamm, the face of one of television’s smartest shows, taking a stand against a symbol of one of its trashiest.

Tonight’s other highlights

Virginia mentors a teen on “Raising Hope” (7 p.m., Fox).

A parent-teacher conference gets romantic on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

The source of a lead may be a notorious sniper on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

The talents clamor to place their products on “Fashion Star” (9 p.m., NBC).

After her controversial acquittal, a woman is found dead on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

Scheduled on “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO): the enduring Wallenda family.

Raylan juggles to keep the lid on Dickie and Quarles on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS British songstress Dame Vera Lynn is 95. Producer-directorcomedian Carl Reiner is 90. Actor Hal Linden is 81. Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney is 73. TV producer Paul Junger Witt is 69. Country singer-musician Ranger Doug (Riders in the Sky) is 66. Hockey Hall-of-Famer Bobby Orr is 64. Actor William Hurt is 62. Rock musician Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) is 62. Movie director Spike Lee is 55. Actress Theresa Russell is 55. Actress Holly Hunter is 54.

gram. When we bring this to his attention, he will take some responsibility in the moment, but he proceeds the next day as if the conversation never took place.

Over the past seven years, his behavior has gotten worse. I know he received some counseling in the past, but there has been no improvement.

We have watched him bark orders at the paid staff, and he seldom uses “please” or “thank you” with anyone. He speaks poorly of others and disregards any suggestions made to him. He takes advantage of the volunteers by asking them to do personal favors, and he once asked a volunteer to loan him money.

He reports to a board where he has formed a couple of friendships that are more personal than professional, and they aren’t inclined to do anything. How do we handle this? We don’t

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, March 20: You could be unusually quiet this year as you become introspective. You are evaluating much. An issue that will emerge will be your self-expression involving anger. Do you internalize your feelings? Or do you throw a tantrum? Follow your instincts with money. If you are single, someone you meet could be very exciting. Wait at least a year before deciding whether this bond is for life. If you are attached, share more private time together. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) The wise person would say very little, yet your temper still might trigger. How you deal with that moment could be a problem. Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what is important. Honor what is happening with your immediate circle. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) The spotlight is on you, and you will not be able to defer to others — the option is not there. Step up to the plate, and accept your role. Tonight: Vanish into the night.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a recent decision you have made. Find some experts, ask some questions. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Remain sure of yourself, yet listen to others with that same confidence. The problem is not about being right, but about resolving the issue. Tonight: Easy works.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

ON STRIKE By Donald Stubin

3/20

want to quit, although a couple of valuable people have left and it has had a huge impact. We have put a lot of time and energy into this program and have formed relationships with the students. We don’t want to shortchange them because of this supervisor. Any suggestions? — Feeling Stepped On Dear Stepped On: Asking for personal favors and loans is inappropriate and should be reported. However, if continuous attempts to get the supervisor to change his ways have failed and the board will not intervene, your choice is to put up with this behavior or leave.

Defer to others more often today. Note when anger rears its ugly head. Rather than follow your knee-jerk reaction, just wait.

Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your even pace allows greater give-and-take. You might not feel comfortable with everything that comes up. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) No one can deny your ability to see past the obvious. Your vision of possibilities initially might confuse others and sometimes yourself. Tonight: Unleash your spontaneity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You actively alternate between pursuing the conservative course and opting to be adventuresome. Try to merge the need for security with a little flair for living in the moment. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be more in tune with someone’s energy than you are aware. The problem could lie with this person’s reaction. Tonight: Catch up with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could create uproar, and probably a lot better than many people. Look at the long-run implications of this behavior. Tonight: Your treat. Make peace, not war.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Claim your power and use it well. If someone is being difficult and quarrelsome, it does not mean you need to get into a tiff with this person. Tonight: All smiles.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: My wife of three years always seems to have something derogatory to say about “Janie,” my 20-year-old daughter from my first marriage. If Janie vacuums, my wife says she didn’t do it right.

If she has a half-filled garbage can, my wife tells her it needs to be emptied, etc. I am so tired of the nitpicking, but I don’t know what to do.

My wife and I have a toddler girl and a 7-month-old boy, and I love them more than anything. But don’t you think she should mind her own business about my older daughter? — On the Edge in Pittsburgh Dear Edge: To some extent, yes. Janie is a member of the household and should do her chores.

However, your wife needs to find better ways to handle Janie, or she will create resentment all around. Please don’t simmer silently. Talk to your wife so she understands
