Immigrants’ tuition rate under fire

Lawrence school board president testifies against repealing bill

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Two vastly different opinions about undocumented immigrants were displayed Wednesday before a House committee considering a bill that would repeal in-state tuition for some undocumented students.

Rep. Allan Rothlisberg, R-Grandview Plaza, talked about drug cartels filling the prison system and said he was offended when phone messages have a Spanish language option.

“This is an English-speaking country,” Rothlisberg said.

Rothlisberg said he didn’t support immigrants with children entering the country illegally.

“Parents are using their children as pawns in this effort,” he said.

County among state’s healthiest

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Douglas County is a top 10 county in the state of Kansas when it comes to being healthy, according to a new nationwide report.

Douglas County is the ninth healthiest county in the state by one measure and the seventh healthiest by another, according to a report released Wednesday by HEALTH the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and its partners.

“The report continues to show us that where we live matters to our health,” said Dan Partridge, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

NEW YORK — It seems an unpopular position in college basketball is fashion forward.

The neon-colored jerseys and camouflage-covered shorts debuted by six teams in their postseason conference championships ahead of the NCAA men’s basketball tournaments weren’t well received in the press or social

media, with critics particularly targeting UCLA, Kansas and Notre Dame because of the schools’ tradition-rich athletic histories. Louisville, Cincinnati and Baylor also got uniform makeovers from Adidas, and they didn’t go over so well, either.

They were called Underoos, Fruit Stripes and LMFAO costumes. Some people just called them ugly — and you can search for them online that way.

The changes happened to be in line with fashion runways and recreational athleticwear, where highlighter brights and creative camo have been bona fide trends.

And alternate uniforms have become part of the college football and basketball landscape — but these uniforms still made some fans cringe.

Evie Parker, a member of the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, entered Marinello Schools of Beauty on Wednesday a regular 9-year-old girl.

She left a princess.

The cosmetology school’s first-ever Day of Beauty event aimed to make girls who might not have otherwise had the opportunity look and feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.

If you went by Evie’s attitude alone,

you would have to say the event was a smashing success. Her aura seemed to glow as 20-year-old Bria Morrison styled her hair into a princess bun. She said she felt like the title character in the 1998 Disney movie “Mulan.”

“It’s like where she goes through and gets her hair done. I feel like her right now, walking from station to station,” Evie said, as she held her hand out to have light-blue nail polish applied, a blue flower in her hair. “I’m a total girly girl when it comes to this

Tuition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But students, religious leaders and educators, including the Lawrence school board, said the current state law that allows certain undocumented students to pay the less expensive in-state college tuition is helping the state and helping those students fulfill their dreams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came here because their parents brought them here,â&#x20AC;? said Fred Logan, vice chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are innocent.

They are great Kansans,â&#x20AC;?

Logan said of the students.

Logan said 630 students, most of whom are attending community and technical colleges, benefit from the in-state tuition law.

Currently, students are considered Kansas residents eligible for in-state tuition if they graduated from a Kansas high school or received a GED, have lived in the state for three years and pledge to become citizens.

House Bill 2192, heard by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, would repeal that law.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach urged approval of the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop using taxpayer money to subsidize an illegal workforce,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sen. Carolyn Tyson, RParker, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can we

Beauty kind of stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Marinello Schools of Beauty, 1601 W. 23rd Street, Suite 204, held the companywide event as a way to celebrate Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s History Month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girl power!â&#x20AC;? one of the youngsters could be overheard saying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while, at the same time, giving back to the community. Roughly half a dozen fourth- and fifth-graders from Lawrence elementary schools got to celebrate spring break by getting their hair, nails and makeup done.

They were like kids in a candy store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to treat them to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;day of beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so they could enjoy themselves and relax and learn how important it is for personal hygiene to keep your nails and hair clean,â&#x20AC;? said Ashley Dick, outreach coordinator for Marinello Schools of Beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kansas region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of these girls come from backgrounds where they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the opportunity to have this done. We wanted to make them feel good about themselves.â&#x20AC;?

She added that the aspiring cosmetologists at Marinello also ate lunch and spent the day with the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted our students to mentor and be role models,â&#x20AC;? Dick said.

The salon smelled of hair spray and heated-up hair Wednesday as dance music played through the speakers. The students poofed, straightened, curled, braided and did up the young ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locks, helping them pick out hairstyles and makeup colors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the kids were

be just in giving benefits to those who disrespect our laws?â&#x20AC;?

But Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board, said the board opposes the repeal of in-state tuition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must not sentence our brightest and most dedicated students to years of educational limbo as they wait in an immigration status broken beyond their control,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Georgina Hernandez, a graduate student at Wichita State University, said she came to the United States when she was 10 years old. She said she works as a housekeeper during the day and hotel clerk during the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you pass this bill, my dreams will die,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Kim Voth, a guidance counselor at Wichita East High School, said since the in-state tuition law has been in effect, she has seen undocumented students graduate college and go into numerous jobs.

One former student, Voth said, is now a teacher and has received her U.S. citizenship. Voth said that woman told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My college degree changed my life. I love teaching. I love my students. I tell them you can become anything you want to be.â&#x20AC;?

The committee took no action on the bill and the chairman, state Rep. Arlen Siegfreid, R-Olathe, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it would.

Douglas County ranks ninth in the category of health outcomes, which basically measures mortality rates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how long we live â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and morbidity, which measures how healthy we feel while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re alive.

In last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, Douglas County ranked seventh.

The county showed improvement, though, in the part of the study that measures several types of behaviors or conditions that theoretically should impact the health of residents. That includes factors such as alcohol and tobacco use, violent crime rates, obesity rates, airquality measurements and a host of other factors.

In that ranking, the county checks in at No. 7 in the state, up from No. 13 a year ago.

The report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which ranked 102 of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 105 counties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also provided rankings for more specific criteria. Partridge said two categories stood out as areas the county had made improvements

MACKENZIE MOORE, 10, CRACKS A BIG SMILE to send home during a day of pampering Wednesday from Marinello Schools of Beauty, 1601 W. 23rd St. pretty apprehensive at first. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure any of them have been through an experience like this,â&#x20AC;? said Monica Dittmer, director of operations for the local Boys and Girls Club, noting how talkative many of the girls had become just a little more than an hour into the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity they may not have otherwise had. It gives them experience, so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so nervous in the future about hair and nails and going to a salon.â&#x20AC;?

Nicole Piekalkiewicz, 10, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nervous about the event beforehand.

Quite the opposite, in fact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was jumping up and down,â&#x20AC;? she said, observing her curly locks in a mirror. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks great. I love the bangs.â&#x20AC;?

Ajala Anavberokhai, group leader for the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club, said the day presented each of the soon-to-bemiddle-schoolers with the chance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be a girl.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps them with selfesteem, to be confident in who they are and what they look like,â&#x20AC;? she said.

After her own pedicure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;They offered,â&#x20AC;? she said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anavberokhai did her part to improve the ado-

lescentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; self-confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look so good. This is gorgeous,â&#x20AC;? she told one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look so adorable.

You look like a little iceskater,â&#x20AC;? she said to another.

One of the cosmetology students then complemented Mackenzie Moore, a 10-year-old who had just had her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do styled into a bow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your hair looks so good!â&#x20AC;? she told her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks,â&#x20AC;? said Mackenzie, walking funny in post-pedicure flip-flops, her arms folded behind her back, a smile tattooed across her face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like all the hairstyles they do.

They do a really good job at it.â&#x20AC;?

Halfway through the day of beauty, 10-year-old Lexi Williams wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be getting her hair braided or straightened.

But she was happy to be taking part in the event either way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like getting my hair done and my nails done and my makeup done,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt like when my mom does it.â&#x20AC;?

HOW WE RANK

and vending machine options.

The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranking in the area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which also includes measurements of air and water quality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; increased to No. 23, up from 98 a year ago.

Partridge said one area of concern is the health behaviors category, which measures a variety of activities such as smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol use and sexual activity. Douglas County still ranks high in the category but not as high as it once did. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranking fell to No. 8, down from No. 6 a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While many residents think of Lawrence as being a healthy community, we have room for improvement,â&#x20AC;? Partridge said.

According to the study, the five healthiest counties in the state are Johnson, Riley, Stevens, Pottawatomie and Ellis counties.

The least healthy are Elk, Chautauqua, Wyandotte, Cherokee and Logan counties.

The full report can be viewed at countyhealthrankings.org.

Other Douglas County rankings in the report included:

Tobacco use: No. 35

Diet and exercise: No. 3

Alcohol use (measured by the rate of â&#x20AC;&#x153;excessive drinkingâ&#x20AC;? as measured by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and motor vehicle crash death rates): No. 52

Gordon, a Johns Hopkins student and big NCAA basketball fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could take the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus away from a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump shot to what they are wearing.â&#x20AC;?

Jeff Halmos, half of the menswear designer duo Shipley & Halmos, called the uniforms â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultra-forwardâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but that may not be a compliment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so shocked at UCLA. If I was part of a storied franchise like that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Absolutely not.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I would tell my team that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to wear this traditional jersey, and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheapen it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a threshold to which innovation crosses a boundary. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;throwback eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when classic uniforms had a mainstream moment a few years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that was so much betcan be reached at 785-423-0668. ter. To me, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much

in menswear thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about heritage.â&#x20AC;?

Even President Barack Obama felt compelled to weigh in. In going through his bracket with ESPN, he cited the uniforms as a reason Notre Dame shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go any further than the second round, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;that neon glow wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for me.â&#x20AC;?

If the goal was buzz, though, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly been accomplished. And maybe these limited-edition uniforms werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t created for most of the armchair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or barstool â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fans.

They could be a recruiting tool for next-gen talent, said Will Welch, senior editor of GQ magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something gimmicky about them, but outlandish choices like this can end up defining an era,â&#x20AC;? said Welch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty shocking now, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an adult fan, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than being a 12-year-old kid dying to grow up and play at Kansas or Louisville. ...

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that

these kids love the idea of debuting something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting.â&#x20AC;?

Sports fans are quick to get behind fashion trends that help show support of their favorite teams and players, he said. How many people wore dorky glasses with no lenses to games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even their offices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Russell Westbrook did?

Several players interviewed by The Associated Press cheered the uniforms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sports being sports, those who won while wearing the uniforms seemed to like them more.

Disability advocates want to avoid KanCare

We think we are going to provide a better quality of life and better health â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Advocates outcomes (with KanCare).â&#x20AC;?

srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA on Wednesday told lawmakers that Kansans with developmental disabilities shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their longterm care administered by for-profit companies as part of the new KanCare program.

The head of the Lakemary Center in Paola, which is a psychiatric treatment center specializing in children with developmentally disabilities, described serious problems with private managed-care companies running KanCare.

Bill Craig, chief executive officer of Lakemary, said some of the decisions from the managed-care companies have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibly cruel and irreversible.â&#x20AC;?

He said children are being released before they are ready and sent to community settings â&#x20AC;&#x153;where they are likely to fail.â&#x20AC;?

Craig also said the companies delayed payments for so long that his facility

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Angela de Rocha, communications director for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services was forced to take out a $500,000 line of credit to meet payroll obligations.

KanCare, which took effect Jan. 1, is Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overhaul of the Medicaid program that moved about 350,000 Kansans into health plans managed by three managed-care companies.

Brownback had sought to place long-term services for about 10,000 people with developmental disabilities in KanCare but advocates persuaded legislators to postpone that for one year.

Advocates now are fighting to keep those services out of KanCare permanently. They argue that long-term services, which sometimes require roundthe-clock assistance, are not the same as covering

someone who may go to a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office several times a year.

Aldona Carney of Wichita, whose 18-yearold son, Neil, requires constant care and who becomes violent without proper medication, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long-term care for people with developmental disabilities should be carved out of KanCare.â&#x20AC;?

She said the case manager for her son â&#x20AC;&#x153;must remain conflict-free.â&#x20AC;?

Barbara Ladon, a national health care consultant with Newpoint Healthcare Advisors, said the state should delay consideration of putting long-term support services under KanCare until a comprehensive

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION

Public engagement key to Sanburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action plans

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board, stood in somewhat unfamiliar territory this week, testifying before a Kansas legislative committee against a bill to repeal the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-state tuition program for certain children of undocumented immigrants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, our board took a position on that bill,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said in an interview afterward, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and then I was asked to come back again and testify on behalf of our board about it since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come back up for debate. Our board was unanimous last year in our opposition to overturning the law.â&#x20AC;?

That was just one example of how Sanburn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, at times, the entire Lawrence school board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often takes on issues that go beyond the day-to-day management of the local district.

In February, Sanburn and the board voted unanimously to send a letter to Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative committees opposing a bill that would restrict the collective bargaining rights of teachers.

And in public forums this campaign season, she has talked about the need to engage voters statewide in advocating for increased state funding for

Address: 765 Ash St. Profession: Sanburn Coordinates family-based sexuality education programs, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Education: B.A., biology, Wichita State University, 2005; masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in social work, Kansas University, 2011.

Family: Husband, Jake Lowen; two daughters. public schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do believe that in our family, we value democracy and we value political engagement in the process,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really do believe that democracy is only as strong as the people willing to get out and work on making sure their voices are heard.â&#x20AC;?

Political involvement is indeed a family tradition for Sanburn. Her husband, Jake Lowen, is a senior partner in Kansas Grassroots, a political consulting firm that also includes Mike Gaughan, the Demo-

cratic chairman of the Douglas County Commission.

Sanburn herself is not active in the firm, although she says grass-roots organizing is a big part of her own political strategy on the school board.

Outside the board, she works part time coordinating the LawrenceDouglas County Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex education programs. Most of her time, though, is devoted to raising their two daughters, the youngest of whom was born in January.

Sanburn said she learned a lot in her first term on the board, a period that included deep budget cuts in the wake of the economic downturn.

That led to debates over closing and consolidating some neighborhood schools, and is now culminating in a proposed $92.5 million bond issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a proposal she strongly supports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of which would go to upgrade and modernize schools the board chose not to close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the way that we went through the budget cut process four years ago, I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of improvement that can be made from the way we handled it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not that there were going to be tons of easy things to cut Please see SANBURN, page 4A

Q:

I saw that Oklahoma Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Smart won Big 12 Player of the Year recently. Seems like Kansas University players have won that award a lot in the past. How many KU players have won the award since 2000?

tration to provide recommendations on what they think would be the least harmful, and then also hear from the community about what they think would be least harmful and try and put it together there.â&#x20AC;?

Sanburn said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong advocate of collective bargaining rights for teachers. And she disagrees with those who say bargaining rights should be narrowed to give districts more flexibility in deciding where to put resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying we need all kinds of flexibility, but we also need resources,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they actually gave us the resources that we need to pay (teachers) what they deserve, and to provide staff and programming and all of the things that help ensure good education for students, then we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry so much about this.â&#x20AC;?

She also said she does not see a pressing need to expand charter school opportunities in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I think until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a place where we are adequately funding our public education institutions as they are, we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be looking to charter schools or any kind of program that would draw money away from the already-underfunded system,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said.

to address those issues, but the way we engaged the public in that process, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to change.

I learned a lot about how to engage the public in the last four years.â&#x20AC;?

Looking ahead, Sanburn said she wants to continue working on equity issues in the district and closing achievement gaps among economic and ethnic subgroups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think continuing our equity work is a big priority of mine,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made significant progress in the last four years in closing the achievement gap. Certainly continuing that work is something I want to see happen.â&#x20AC;?

But Sanburn said the biggest challenges the next board is likely to face will be about funding that comes from the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my time on the board, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to do a lot of work to help the public understand and be able to successfully advocate for public education,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it looks like that workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have to continue, unfortunately, based on decisions that are being made in the Legislature.â&#x20AC;?

Asked about future cuts that may need to be made, Sanburn said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with a list. What I will do is I will look for the adminis-

House approves budget; Senate advances own plan

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas senators gave first-round approval Wednesday to their version of the next state budget, including language that would require legislative approval before the state could expand Medicaid coverage.

The bill, which would spend $14 billion in each of the next two fiscal years, was debated for more than five hours. Final action is set for today, which would set the stage for negotiators to work out differences with the House over spending.

Senators included a provision in the budget bill that leaves open the possibility of Kansas taking a federal offer to expand Medicaid health care coverage, but only if legislators give Republican Gov. Sam Brownback their consent. Brownback has opposed the federal health care act but has said his administration was looking at all options.

Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said other states were finding creative ways to

expand Medicaid without draining state resources and such moves deserved consideration before closing the door on the federal offer.

Both House and Senate bills would spend some $14 billion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $6 billion in general state revenues and $8 billion from federal and other sources â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in each of the next two years, beginning July 1. The House took final action on its proposal Wednesday morning, approving it on a 68-55 vote, sending it to the Senate.

One difference between House and Senate versions was the treatment of higher education.

The House trimmed $30 million from state universities, community colleges and technical schools through a 4 percent reduction. Senators are seeking a 2 percent cut, roughly $15 million.

Both chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposals closely follow a budget for spending on K-12 education, social services and public safety presented by Brownback. One exception is the deletion by the House for $3.5 million in funding for a new Kansas

Bureau of Investigation to be built at Washburn University in Topeka. Senators kept money for the lab in the budget, aimed at helping the KBI reduce a backlog of forensic evidence waiting to be processed.

For public schools, the Senate would increase state aid by $14 per pupil in 2014, raising it to $3,852.

That increase is made possible by another part of the bill that calls for moving the cost of providing school transportation services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $96.6 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the Department of Transportation. The House plan keeps base aid at $3,838 per student.

The Senate plan would be funded in part through revenues raised by a tax proposal already approved by the chamber. That plan leaves the sales tax rate at 6.3 percent, as it has been since 2010, instead of dropping to 5.7 percent as scheduled on July 1.

Differences in the tax and budget bills will be worked out by three House members and three senators in a conference committee in the coming weeks.

Tax cuts pass on first House vote

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proposed cuts in Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sales and income taxes advanced Wednesday in the state House.

The House gave initial approval to the bill on an 82-37 vote, with only majority Republicans supporting it. The tally suggested that GOP leaders will have enough votes to pass the measure on final action, which is scheduled for today. Passage then would send it to the Republican-dominated Senate, which approved its own tax plan last week.

to phase out personal income taxes altogether.

But Republican lawmakers are split over whether the state should cancel a decrease in the sales tax scheduled by law for July, as Brownback proposes.

The House bill would allow the sales tax to drop as planned, but the tradeoff is both less aggressive cuts in income tax rates and greater budget uncertainty. Brownback wants to guarantee rate cuts over the next four years; the House plan would drop them each year only if overall revenues grow more than 2 percent.

House members eliminated a provision of the bill that would have diverted $382 million from highway projects over two years to other budget uses. The idea had stirred bipartisan opposition be-

cause of the jobs tied to road projects.

Many GOP legislators share Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of phasing out personal income taxes, believing it will permanently strengthen the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jobs for our Kansas families create the selfrespect and the dignity of work, providing for our families,â&#x20AC;? said House Taxation Committee Chairman Richard Carlson, a St. Marys Republican. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want self-reliance, and the private sector of our economy can provide those jobs and opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

The final version of tax legislation is likely to emerge from negotiations between the House and the Senate, and Republican leaders are confident the two chambers can compromise.

Abortion bill sent to Senate TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas House approved legislation Wednesday to prevent abortion providers from claiming tax breaks or assisting with public school sex education classes, and Senate leaders promised their chamber will consider it quickly.

The vote in the Republican-dominated House was 92-31.

The bill is less restrictive than a measure approved by North Dakota legislators this month that would ban abortions as early as the sixth week of pregnancy and a new Arkansas law prohibiting most abortions after the 12th week. But abortionrights advocates still see it as a major threat to access

to abortion services.

The bill includes policy statements that each human life begins â&#x20AC;&#x153;at fertilizationâ&#x20AC;? and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;unborn children have interests in life, health and well-being that should be protected.â&#x20AC;?

Legislators hope to wrap up most of their business for the year by April 5, giving the Senate relatively little time to consider the measure. But Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee Chairwoman Mary Pilcher-Cook noted that most of the provisions have been discussed previously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it done,â&#x20AC;? said Pilcher-Cook, a Shawnee Republican.

The bill also strengthens provisions in Kansas law designed to prevent

doctors-in-training at the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical school from performing abortions with state resources or on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. The measure revises a longstanding â&#x20AC;&#x153;informed consentâ&#x20AC;? law requiring doctors to give women certain information before terminating their pregnancies, spelling out what must be provided in greater detail.

House members overwhelmingly rejected a proposal Tuesday to add an exception covering rape and incest victims.

BRIEFLY S.Korea cyberattack linked to Chinese SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Chinese Internet address was the source of a cyberattack on one of the South Korean companies hit in a massive computer shutdown that affected five other banks or media companies, initial findings indicated today.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to assign blame â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Internet addresses can easily be manipulated and disguised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but suspicion for Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shutdown quickly fell on North Korea, which has threatened Seoul with attack in recent days because of anger over U.N. sanctions imposed for its Feb. 12 nuclear test.

Experts say hackers often attack via computers in other countries to hide their identities. South Korea has previously accused North Korean hackers of using Chinese addresses to attack.

The crash Wednesday caused computer networks at major banks and top TV broadcasters to crash simultaneously. It paralyzed bank machines across the country and raised fears that this heavily Internetdependent society was vulnerable.

It is expected to take at least four to five days for the infected computers to recover fully.

Colo. governor signs gun bills DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governor signed bills Wednesday that place new restrictions on firearms, signaling a change for Democrats who have traditionally shied away from gun control in a state with a pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance.

The legislation thrust Colorado into the national spotlight as a potential test of how far the country might be willing to go with new gun restrictions after the horror of mass killings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper signed bills that require background checks for private and online gun sales and ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.

The billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approval came exactly eight months after dozens of people were shot in Aurora, and a day after the executive director of the state Corrections Department, Tom Clements, was shot and killed at his home. Hickenlooper signed the legislation right after speaking with reporters about Clementsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slaying.

Hickenlooper said largecapacity magazines â&#x20AC;&#x153;have the potential to turn killers into killing machines.â&#x20AC;?

He also said he realized some gun owners may be inconvenienced but that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the potential for damage seems to outweigh, significantly, the inconvenience that people would have,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Obama, Netanyahu show solidarity

By Julie Pace Associated Press

JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seeking a fresh start to a strained relationship, President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday demonstrated solidarity on the key issues that have stirred tensions between them. The U.S. president vowed he would do â&#x20AC;&#x153;what is necessaryâ&#x20AC;? to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, while Netanyahu reaffirmed that his newly formed government seeks a two-state solution to Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decades-long dispute with the Palestinians.

Obama, in Israel for the first time in his presidency, also pledged to investigate reports that Syria had used chemical weapons for the first time in its two-year civil war. And he sternly warned Syrian leader Bashar Assad that use of such weapons would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;game-changer,â&#x20AC;? one that could potentially draw the U.S. military into the conflict for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Assad regime must understand that they will be held accountable for the use of chemical weapons or their transfer to terrorists,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, standing alongside Netanyahu at a nighttime news conference.

Expectations were low for a breakthrough during Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit on any of the major issues roiling the region. Instead, the president was focused on

The two leaders have been at odds over Israeli settlements and Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disputed nuclear programs, and Netanyahu famously lectured Obama in front of the media in the Oval Office on Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to defend himself.

Compared with past encounters, there was a noticeable lack of uneasiness Wednesday, the first time the two leaders have met publicly after both survived elections that will leave them stuck with each other for the foreseeable future. They traded jokes throughout a day of side-by-side appearances.

On Iran in particular, the two leaders sought to show they were united in their desire to prevent

the Islamic republic from developing what Obama called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst weapons.â&#x20AC;?

Although Obama did not promise that the United States would act militarily against Iran if Israel decided that must be done, he offered an explicit endorsement for Israel to take whatever unilateral measures it deems necessary to guard against the threat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each country has to make its own decisions when it comes to the awesome decision to engage in any kind of military action ... ,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not expect that the prime minister would make a decision about his countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security and defer that to any another country any more than the United States would defer our decisions about what was important for our national security.â&#x20AC;?

Public opinion on gay marriage shifts to more favorable views WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views on gay marriage are more favorable in large part because of a shift in attitudes among those who know someone who is gay or became more accepting as they got older of gays and lesbians, according to a national survey.

The Pew Research Center poll also finds that a large group of younger adults who tend to be more open to gay rights is driving the numbers upward. The issue has grabbed the national spotlight recently with the public embrace of samesex marriage by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve certainly seen the trend over the last 10 years,â&#x20AC;? Michael Dimock, director of the center, said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now really in a position to talk about the combination of generational change and personal change that have sort of brought the country to where it is today.â&#x20AC;?

Overall, the poll finds 49 percent of Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, and

44 percent opposed to the idea. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more people now favoring gay marriage than opposing it. A decade ago 58 percent opposed it and a third supported it.

The 49 percent who now support same-sex marriage includes 14 percent who said they have changed their minds.

When asked why, almost one-third say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they know someone who is gay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a family member, friend or acquaintance. A quarter said their personal views have changed as they thought more about the issue or just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown older and more accepting.

One of those polled said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My best friend from high school is a gay man, and he deserves the same rights,â&#x20AC;? adding that his friend and a partner â&#x20AC;&#x153;are in a committed relationship.â&#x20AC;?

Another person attributed the shift in attitude to â&#x20AC;&#x153;old fashioned igno-

rance,â&#x20AC;? and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up a little bit.â&#x20AC;?

Just 2 percent overall said their views have shifted against gay marriage.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Senate approved legislation Wednesday to lock in $85 billion in widely decried spending cuts aimed at restraining soaring federal deficits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to avoid a government shutdown just a week away.

President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellow Democrats rejected a call to reopen White House tours scrapped because of the tightened spending.

Federal meat inspectors were spared furloughs, but more than 100 small and medium air traffic facilities were left exposed to possible closure as the two parties alternately clashed and cooperated over proposals to take the edge off across-the-board spending cuts that took effect on March 1.

Final House approval of the measure is likely as early as today. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature is a certainty, meaning the cuts will remain in place at least through the end of the budget year on Sept. 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though he and lawmakers in both parties have criticized them as random rather than targeted. Obama argued strongly against them in campaign-style appearances, predicting painful consequences, before they began taking effect, and Republicans objected to impacts on Pentagon spending.

Without changes, the $85 billion in cuts for the current year will swell to nearly $1 trillion over a decade, enough to make at least a small dent in economy-threatening federal deficits but requiring program cuts that lawmakers in both parties say are unsustainable politically. As a result, negotiations are

possible later in the year to replace the reductions with different savings.

The administration as well as Republicans picked and chose its spots in arguing for flexibility in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuts.

The White House did not resist a bipartisan plan to prevent any cut in tuition assistance programs for members of military.

The final vote was 7326, with 51 Democrats, 20 Republicans and two independents in favor and 25 Republicans and Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana opposed.

Lawmakers labored over measures relating to spending priorities both for this year and a decade into the future.

In the House, minority Democrats advanced a plan that calls for $1 trillion in higher taxes, $500 billion in spending cuts over a decade and a $200 billion economic stimulus package. Republicans voted it down, 253-165.

They are expected to approve their own very different blueprint today.

It calls for $4.6 trillion in spending cuts over a decade and no tax increases, a combination that projects to a balanced budget in 10 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. That spending plan would indeed be simply a blueprint, lacking any actual control over federal spending.

The legislation passed by the Senate on Wednesday locks in the $85 billion in spending cuts through the end of the budget year, yet provides several departments and agencies with flexibility in coping with them. It extends flexibility to the Pentagon, the departments of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Justice, State and Commerce and the Food and Drug Administration.

EDITORIALS

Local politics The days when well-motivated candidates sought local elective offices without a specific agenda and with the best interests of the community in mind seem to be over.

O

ver the years, Lawrence has been blessed to have hundreds of able, talented, civic-minded men and women serve as city commissioners, county commissioners and school board members.

They didn’t serve on these boards to enrich themselves but rather to “give back” to the community. These were individuals who had enjoyed and benefited from their years in Lawrence and thought the best way to show or express their appreciation would be to offer their services and talents to the city — with no strings attached.

Granted, times change and, as the saying goes, “We are not the children of our grandparents.” Today is a different generation with different values, different motives and different standards. Also different politics.

City, county and school board elections in Lawrence a generation or two ago might best have been described as “amateur politics,” while today’s model is more properly classified as “professional politics.”

Thirty or 40 years ago, candidates made the decision to seek office because they thought they could add something of benefit to the city, county or school board through their active participation and their skills, knowledge and experience in the community. They didn’t seek office to represent the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Kansas University, a dissenting group, a political party, a neighborhood, “downtown” interests, a specific type of teaching or curriculum or a “growth” or “no-growth” philosophy. They wanted to do what was in the best interests of the entire community.

They were proud of Lawrence and proud of Kansas and wanted to help sustain the growth, excellence and livability of both the city and the state.

Times change, and local elections have become far more partisan and issuebased. Now, political action committees sometimes get involved with local political races, attracting increased campaign contributions from individuals or groups who want to champion a specific agenda and, in so doing, suggest that others seeking the same office do not share the same concerns.

Whether it’s good or bad, Lawrence has entered into a far more partisan, hard-ball political climate that divides the community and invites costly campaigns for office. Unfortunately, the days of good men and women running for office merely because they want to do something good for the city — and without any behind-the-scenes commitments — seem to be fading.

Sometimes, there’s a lot to be said for the “good old days.”

Hindsight reveals folly of Iraq war WASHINGTON — Ten years ago this week, I was covering the U.S. military as it began its assault on Iraq. As I read back over my clips, I see a few useful warnings about the difficulties ahead.

But I owe readers an apology for being wrong on the overriding question of whether the war made sense.

Invading Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein a decade ago was one of the biggest strategic errors in modern American history. We’ll never know whether the story might have been different if better planning had been done for “the day after,” or the Iraqi army hadn’t been disbanded, or

David Ignatius

“

davidignatius@washpost.com

Invading Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein a decade ago was one of the biggest strategic errors in modern American history.” several other “ifs.” But the abiding truth is that America shouldn’t have rolled the dice this way on a war of choice.

As I think back to the crucible of 2003, two remarks made by Arab friends stand out particularly. One was from a prominent Lebanese Shiite publisher who supported the war, but on the condition that America was resolute enough to finish what it was starting. “If Rome is strong, the provinces are ready,” my friend said.

But Rome wasn’t strong enough to prevail. America’s military power, awesome as it was, turned out not to be sufficient to impose a settlement in Iraq; and in a grinding war of occupation, all our might could not turn on the electricity in Baghdad or frighten Sunnis and Shiites into cooperating with each other. Rome was also weak at home, politically: The United States didn’t have the stomach for a protracted war that President Bush couldn’t explain and the public didn’t understand.

The second comment was from a Syrian friend who opposed the war. In 2002, when we first discussed the com-

ing battle, he was reading “The March of Folly,” historian Barbara Tuchman’s account of epochal policy blunders through history. America was about to make another mistake of historic dimensions, my friend warned.

My friend took me aside after the fighting had been raging for several months.

I am still haunted by what he said: “I am sorry for America. You are stuck. You have become a country of the Middle East. America will never change Iraq, but Iraq will change America.”

What other lessons should America learn from Iraq? An obvious one is the danger of creating a political vacuum by overthrowing a dictator. The United States dreamed that it would modernize Iraq by toppling Saddam Hussein.

But when we disbanded the nonsectarian army and most of the secular government, Iraqis had nowhere to turn but their most basic ethnic and tribal identities as Sunnis or Shiites, Kurds or Arabs.

Many in the CIA understood the need to keep the Iraqi army and civil service together. That’s part of why they clashed so sharply with Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon and his Iraqi champion, Ahmed Chalabi, who wanted to dismantle the Baath Party, root and branch. I watched a tiny part of that battle play out one day in April 2003 in a bitter argument on the lawn of Chalabi’s headquarters at the Mansour Hunting Club in suburban Bagh-

Right decision, wrong reason Let there be no cheers for Rob Portman.

The Ohio senator is, pardon the tautology, a conservative Republican, and, last week, he did something conservative Republicans do not do. He came out for same-sex marriage. This is a man whose anti-gay bona fides were so pronounced that his 2011 selection as commencement speaker at the University of Michigan law school prompted an uproar among the graduates, many of whom signed a letter protesting his appearance as an insult to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.

Yet, there he was, telling CNN he’s had “a change of heart.” And what prompted this? Well, as it turns out, the senator made his U-turn because of Will.

That would be Will Portman, 21, who came out to his parents two years ago.

His son, the senator said, explained to them that his sexuality “was not a choice and that that’s just part of who he is.”

As a result, said Portman, “I’ve come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I’ve had for over 26 years.”

It was, make no mistake, an act of paternal love and empathy and deserves to be celebrated on that basis. He did the only thing a good father could have done. And yet, if Portman’s change of mind warms the heart, it also, paradoxically, illustrates the moral cowardice so often found at the heart of social conservatism Look, the senator’s son is doubtless a fine and admirable young man. But with all due respect to his son, to heck with his son. This is not about Will Portman.

It’s far bigger than that.

So one can’t help but be frustrated and vexed by the senator’s inability to “get it” until “it” included his son. Will explained to him that his sexuality “was not a choice”? Lovely. But was the senator not listening when all those other gay men and lesbians tried to tell him the exact same thing?

Apparently not. Like Dick Cheney, father of a lesbian daughter, Portman changed his view because the issue became personal. Which suggests a glaring lack of the courage and vision needed to put oneself into someone else’s shoes, imagine one’s way inside someone else’s life. These are capabilities that often seem to elude social conservatives.

Small wonder: If you allow yourself to see the world from someone else’s

point or view, there is a chance it will change your own. Can’t have that.

So instead we have this. And by extension of the “logic:” Here, we must wait on Herman Cain to adopt a Mexican child before he sees how offensive it is to suggest electrocuting Mexicans at the border. And if Michele Bachmann would only have an affair with a Muslim, she might stop seeing terrorists on every street corner.

Tellingly, Portman’s change of heart elicited mainly an embarrassed silence from his ideological soulmates who, 10 years ago, would have been on him like paparazzi on a Kardashian. But then, 10 years ago, gay rights was still an open question. Ten years later, that question is closing with startling speed, as in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that finds support for same-sex marriage at a record high. Change is coming, gathering momentum like an avalanche And once again, conservatives will stand rebuked by history, be left on the platform by progress. Or else, split the difference, do the right thing for the wrong reasons like Rob Portman.

No, you cannot condemn a man for loving his child.

But true compassion and leadership require the ability to look beyond the narrow confines of one’s own life, to project into someone else’s situation and to want for them what you’d want for your own. Portman’s inability to do that created hardship for an untold number of gay men and lesbians.

Each of them was also someone’s child.

dad. The headline on that one was “Bush’s confusion, Baghdad’s mess.”

In the political vacuum we created, Iraq tumbled into the past — pulling a lot of the Arab world with it. That’s part of why President Obama has been so careful recently in dealing with Syria: He doesn’t want America to make the same mistake twice. But history is cruel: You can try so hard to avoid an outcome that in your very passivity, you make it more likely.

Another lesson is the importance of dignity in the Arab world. Most Iraqis despised Saddam Hussein because, in addition to torturing their sons and daughters, he had taken their dignity. But many came to loath America, as well, because for all our talk of democracy, we damaged their sense of honor and independence.

As the Arab world proves over and over, from Palestine to Benghazi, people who are penniless in terms of material possessions would rather die than lose their sense of honor to outsiders.

A final lesson is the benefit of persistence. George W. Bush made a disastrous mistake invading Iraq in 2003.

But having busted up the country, he tried his best to clean up the mess. By checking the spiraling sectarian killing, the surge of U.S. troops led by Bush and Gen. David Petraeus saved thousands of Iraqi lives. It’s one thing that Americans did right in this painful story.

PUBLIC FORUM

Postal plan To the editor: Last month, Postmaster General Patrick Donohoe announced plans to end six-day mail delivery in August. This flies in the face of existing law which requires six-day delivery. Congress has mandated six-day delivery by law since 1983, which is also the last year that the USPS received any taxpayer funding. The people who would suffer include not just postal workers but small business, seniors, veterans and rural Americans.

Donohoe makes the dubious claim that ending Saturday delivery would save money. In fact, it would result in drastic service cuts and lost revenue.

What his plan fails to mention is that it would deprive small businesses of affordable and accessible shipping services, veterans of job opportunities and seniors of medication delivered to their door on Saturday, and make rural Americans second-class citizens with second-class service. It also would starve the USPS of needed revenue streams.

Eight million Americans are employed in the trillion-dollar-a-year mailing industry. Not only could it be your friendly letter carrier losing his or her job, it could just as easily be your neighbor who works in paper production, printing, shipping, greeting cards or direct mail.

This is not a done deal. The American public does not have to, nor should they accept the postmaster general’s ill-conceived and destructive plan. There are better ways to save the postal service.

TO FIND THE RIGHT FERTILIZER TO USE FOR WHAT YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE TRYING TO GROW THIS SPRING, first determine what nutrients are already available from the soil in your garden or other area where you are trying to grow plants.

What to know about spring fertilizer applications

W

armer weather should be around to stay soon, and my garden gloves and pruners are already waiting by the door for their chores.

These early days of spring are a good time to give many species of plants supplemental nutrients in the form of fertilizer, but how much and what kind really depend on what you are trying to grow and what your soil has already.

This probably sounds more complicated than picking up a bag of your favorite rose food, bloom booster, steer manure, tree spikes, etc.

There seems to be a fertilizer for everything. Taking the time to get it right will save you money and help your plants grow better, though.

The first step to getting the right fertilizer is determining what nutrients are already available from the soil in your garden or other area where you are trying to grow plants.

Soil can be tested for pH and nutrient values through K-State Research and Extension. In Douglas County, we are fortunate to have a grant from the Douglas County Conservation District that will pay for up to 10 basic soil tests per resident per year.

The regular price for the basic analysis is $8 per sample; other tests, such as organic matter content and micronu-

trient contents, are available for a small additional costrecouping fee.

With the soil test results you will receive recommendations based on the needs of the plants you are trying to grow.

Vegetables require more phosphorus and potassium than shade trees, for example.

A soil test will also provide you with recommendations on when to fertilize. Trees, shrubs, perennial flowers, and other similar ornamentals are the best fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. Fruit trees are also best fertilized in spring. For vegetables, work fertilizer into the soil prior to planting, then add fertilizer as needed to specific crops. For irrigated lawns, wait until May and use a slow-release product. For nonirrigated lawns, skip the spring application and fertilize in September.

In the absence of a soil test,

LEARN MORE How to collect a soil sample for testing:

Identify an area such as a lawn, garden, flower bed, or around a specific tree(s).

Take 10 or more slices of soil with a trowel, spade or knife from random locations within the given area. Slices should be 6-8 inches deep for gardens and flower beds, 3-4 inches deep for lawns, and 8-10 inches deep for trees and shrubs.

Mix the slices together and remove rocks, mulch, plant roots, etc.

Soil in this area, especially soil with high clay content, often has adequate levels of these nutrients already, so adding more is unnecessary.

In some states, fertilizers containing high percentages of phosphorus have even been banned from use unless a soil test has proven deficiency. Some researchers argue that the excess phosphorus pollutes waterways and groundwater.

the fertilizer selection is that plants are still unable to tell the difference. Rose food might be just the thing for your tomato plants, or the lawn fertilizer could be the best thing for your apple tree.

Determine how much nitrogen or other nutrients your plants need and make your fertilizer selections based on that information rather than a pretty label. The only caution here is if the fertilizer contains herbicide, which will also be listed on the label.

Finally, a word about trees: For fruit trees, fertilization may be necessary to sustain production. Overfertilization will also lead to a decrease in flower bud production, though, so have your soil tested to determine what your fruit trees need. Ornamental trees rarely need supplemental fertilization.

If a tree is showing signs of stress, a soil test may determine if it has a nutrient deficiency and what to apply.

If fertilizer is needed, granular fertilizer can be broadcast over the root zone with a formula based on either the size of the tree or the size of the root zone area.

izers for every different kind of plant? Ignore that part of the label and look for the three numbers in a row (such as 120-0 or 27-3-3). The first number indicates the percentage of nitrogen, the second number is the percentage of phosphorus, and the third number is the percentage of potassium.

Folk art is unique and often is both useful and humorous.

At a Cowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auction in late 2012, an example of these traits was seen in a mirror offered for sale. The 19thcentury mirrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pine frame was carved to look like a man, with his head at the top, shoeclad feet at the bottom and hands held up near his neck.

One hand holds five fingers up, the other just two.

The artist seems to be referring to the seven years of bad luck that awaits anyone who breaks a mirror. Or perhaps it was a gift for a seventh anniversary or just a suggestion of the lucky number seven.

It was good luck for the seller. The mirror, only 17 inches high, was estimated at $1,000 to $1,500. It sold after a bidding battle for $5,700.

THE MIRRORFRAME MAN holding seven fingers up may be warning about the seven years of bad luck awaiting someone who breaks a mirror.

The unique piece of folk art auctioned for $5,700 at Cowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auctions in Cincinnati.

Moustakas lifts Royals SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Mike Moustakas went 3-for-3 and homered for the second consecutive day as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-2, Wednesday.

Moustakas homered in the fifth inning off reliever Matt Guerrier. Lorenzo Cain and Johnny Giavotella added solo home runs for Kansas City.

Royals right-hander Wade Davis, who skipped a start because of shoulder inflammation, allowed one run in four-plus innings. He gave up two hits, but walked four and threw just 36 strikes in 64 pitches.

Davis was lifted after a single and two walks in the fifth. Reliever Luis Coleman induced Skip Schumaker to ground into a double play and struck out Mark Ellis.

Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig, a Cuban defector who went 4-for4 Tuesday, went 2-for-2 with a sacrifice fly to raise his batting average to a Cactus Leagueleading .521.

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Heat 98, Cavaliers 95 CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 25 points as Miami overcame a 27-point deficit in the third quarter and won its 24th straight game Wednesday night, a victory over short-handed Cleveland to extend the secondlongest winning streak in NBA history.

The Heat are within nine games of matching the record of 33 consecutive wins held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

James and his teammates have insisted the record isn’t one of their goals, and for more than 30 minutes the defending champions seemed disinterested and on the verge of losing for the first time since Feb. 1. Miami trailed 67-40 with 7:44 left in the third quarter.

But behind the irrepressible James, who added 12 rebounds and 10 assists, the Heat inched closer to history by matching the biggest comeback in the NBA this season.

Hawks 98, Bucks 90 ATLANTA — Jeff Teague scored 27 points, and Al Horford had 26, taking control after a sluggish first quarter to lead Atlanta past Milwaukee.

Knicks 106, Magic 94 NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points after missing the previous three games due to a knee injury, and New York beat Orlando.

The board has three options: Keep the rules and submit them for an online vote from all Division I schools, rescind the rules or modify them.

The board also has agreed to reconsider a rule that would have prohibited coaches from scouting future opponents in person.

Its next meeting is scheduled for May 2 in Indianapolis.

Reports: Syracuse under probe SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse has been under investigation for possible NCAA violations, mostly in its basketball program, for at least a year, according to two media reports.

CBS Sports.com, citing an unidentified source, reported Wednesday that the school has received a letter of preliminary inquiry from the NCAA. The Post-Standard reported NCAA investigators have been conducting interviews with Syracuse employees and former employees. The newspaper said the investigation includes the handling of former player Fab Melo’s academic eligibility.

In 2012, the center was declared ineligible for the NCAA Tournament days before it started.

The school also acknowledged last year the college sports governing body had inquired into old allegations that players were allowed to practice and play despite being in violation of the school’s drug policy.

| SPORTS WRAP |

PHOENIX — NFL owners passed a player-safety rule Wednesday barring ball carriers from using the crown of their helmets to make forcible contact with a defender in the open field.

Several coaches and team executives expressed concern about officiating the new rule, but Commissioner Roger Goodell championed it, and it passed Wednesday as the owners meetings concluded.

Its passage by a 31-1 vote — Cincinnati voted no — was the second significant step in protecting defensive players; on Tuesday, the league took the peel-back block out of the game.

“There was a lot of discussion,” Steelers President Art Rooney said of the helmet crown rule, “but the way it was presented was the most effective way to address it.”

The tuck rule, one of the most criticized rules in pro football, was eliminated. Now, if a quarterback loses control of the ball before he has fully protected it after opting not to throw, it is a fumble.

Rooney said the Steelers were the only team to vote against getting rid of the tuck rule. New England and Washington abstained.

FREE STATE’S DANE MCCULLOUGH (12) DELIVERS A PITCH during the first game of the Firebirds’ doubleheader against Warrensburg, Mo., on Wednesday at FSHS. The Firebirds swept the season-opening twinbill, 11-1 and 13-5.

Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

first varsity start on the mound in the opener, threw all five innings, allowed just three hits and struck out four. Hill said the senior right-hander stayed effective by keeping his pitch count low and collecting outs early in the count.

It wasn’t until the top of the fifth that McCullough ran into some difficulty.

After surrendering a single, his only walk and hitting a batter, the 6-foot-4 hurler got Matt Zembraski to ground out with the bases loaded, ending the game.

The pitcher credited Free State’s hitters with making his job easy.

“It definitely made a world of difference, being out there and knowing that you’re up five, eight, 10 runs,” McCullough said.

The Tigers scored two runs in the top of the first to open the second game, but the lead disappeared quickly. Hill said the Firebirds’ timely hitting allowed them to counter with an eight-run first.

FSHS scored seven of those with two outs. Some came on Warrensburg mistakes, but McMahon and Cooper Karlin each produced an RBI single, and Joe Dineen drove in two more with a single down the third-base line.

“The kids are hungry a little bit,” Hill said of the Firebirds’ hot start after losing their first five games in 2012.

Free State’s Friday and Saturday games in Missouri have been canceled due to the anticipation of winter weather. Hill said the Firebirds will try to schedule two other games to replace them. Next up for FSHS is its Sunflower League opener, March 28 at Olathe East.

missed most of the regular season because of a fracture in his foot.

At a Wednesday afternoon ceremony, he slipped a Kentucky hat on his head while leaving hats of his other finalists resting on a table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like the system at Kentucky was a great system,â&#x20AC;? Randle said.

KU had been recruiting Randle, who has been compared to Wayman Tisdale and Chris Webber, since his freshman year. His high school teammate, Zach Peters, attended KU on scholarship first semester before leaving school after suffering a series of concussions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to him (Randle) quite a bit and I think the sky is the limit,â&#x20AC;? Prestonwood coach Chris Mayberry told ESPN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not as much the skill on the court as much as it is his competitive nature and the work that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to put in thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make him supersuccessful.â&#x20AC;?

KU has a current fiveplayer recruiting class of 2013. The Jayhawks have signed No. 25 Brannen Greene, 6-7 small forward, Tift County High, Tifton, Ga.; No. 26 Wayne Selden, 6-5 shooting guard, Tilton (N.H.) School; No. 31 Conner Frankamp, 6-0, combo guard, Wichita North; No. 37-ranked Joel Embiid, 7-0 center, Rock School, Gainesville, Fla.; and No. 134 Frank Mason, 5-11 point guard, Massanutten Military Academy, Woodstock, Va. KU has one scholarship left to give, two if Ben McLemore heads to the NBA, and more if anybody elects to transfer.

KU is still in the running for No. 1-ranked Andrew Wiggins, 6-7 forward from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, who is considering KU, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State.

if you win. We rarely go out as a group and dine ever. During the NCAA Tournament, usually you are going in two days early, (so) the first night is probably a pretty good night to do that. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do ... get them out of the hotel. After that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have them pretty much on lockdown.â&#x20AC;?

Self is not a fan of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8:50 p.m. game time.

His Jayhawks play the next-to-last game of the opening round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the late start on Friday night,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing in it, I should love it. The late start on Friday night is not a big deal unless you play the first game on Sunday afternoon. Then it becomes a big deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things that are mandatory that take place after the game (interviews, drug testing) ... you look at having dinner at 1 a.m. or 1:30 and not going to bed until 3. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short day the next day, and you potentially have to get up at 8 in the morning Sunday.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the part where Friday/Sunday is a disadvantage as opposed to Thursday/Saturday because Saturday night is one of the big nights teams play.

Usually on Sundays, most of the games are done before â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (6 p.m.).â&#x20AC;?

more than that. His overwhelming talent compensated for his lack of experience, and the same canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be said for anyone else on this roster.

The lesson to be learned from this team that became Bill Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth in the past seven years to earn a No. 1 seed is that it pays not to read too much into first impressions. The average student arrives at college a boy and grows into a man. Why should it be any different for a basketball player?

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TALKS WITH MEDIA MEMBERS after the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival at the Westin Crown Center on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. a roundtable discussion with 12 active coaches who have won NCAA titles. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you ever lost a recruit because you would not cheat?â&#x20AC;?

Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think that it is pretty sorry for anybody to say â&#x20AC;&#x201D; howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right way to put this? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in recruiting what frustrates me a lot of the time is when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a kid, the feeling is either he was not good enough or somebody cheated to get him. And I think that is a terrible attitude to have as a coach. Sometimes you just get beat. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that I ever have, to be quite candid with you.

There have been numerO ous rumors. There are ruUSA Today conducted mors about everybody on

Self gave an early scouting report on Western Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really athletic, fast. They can play four guards around a 6-foot-5, 6-6 post man. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit different and obviously something we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot in our league,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ray Harper (WKU coach) is a good coach; that (Sun Belt) league is good. They are 9-1 under Ray in the postseason (in two years). The last time we won it all in 2008, they were in the Sweet 16. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see many 16 seeds in the Sweet 16 five years ago.â&#x20AC;?

Self said his team was healthy entering the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He hopes the Jayhawks

pick up where they left off last weekend in winning three games at the Big 12 Tournament in Sprint Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played pretty well last week over here,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played miserably in Waco (in 23-point loss to Baylor in final regularseason game), so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still a work in progress, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up and down with a lot more ups than downs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good week of practice and a good week of preparation, so I think our guys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put themselves in a position to be prepared to play well.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and you might hear this from coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the most talented team that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had here at Kansas even in my four years,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My freshman year with Sherron (Collins) and my sophomore year with the twins (Marcus and Markieff Morris), those are some good teams. I felt like we had targets on our back, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond like we should have. This is a more, I feel, humble team, a more â&#x20AC;Ś I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the word to explain â&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re those old teams. I feel like we know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the best talented.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a conceited

bunch that yaps too much the way Marcus Morris did in trash-talking Richmond players a day before destroying the Spiders. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well later in the weekend when Morris told VCU players right before tipoff that their nice run was over now. VCU won by an upset.

Not that conceit is necessarily a prescription for disaster. After all, it was Mario Chalmers who hit the biggest shot during Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 seasons at Kansas.

But Johnson is right in pointing out that this team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like the others, including last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which had national Player of the Year runner-

up Thomas Robinson and four-year starter Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It amazes me,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got four seniors starting on a team that is a No. 1 seed and none are 1,000-point scorers (for Kansas). If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got four guys that are starting as many games you play in a season 40 games, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 160 games, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only got to average six points a game to be a thousand-point scorer.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one. It tells you they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play when they were young.

They waited their time.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most proud of, the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got four kids all from different scenarios that waited their time and made the most of it, when

everything. Rumors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that it is remotely true or not. I cannot tell you right now honestly that I know for a fact that people have bought kids we recruited, or cheated on kids we recruited.â&#x20AC;?

Roy Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have made a lot of decisions in my life to not get involved in scenarios that I thought were going to get ugly at the end. There is no question that some decisions that have been made surprised me, and I guess that is a better way that I would like to answer that.â&#x20AC;?

Larry Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would agree that I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of bad stuff happening out there.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt in my mind we lost kids. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen â&#x20AC;Ś So many of the kids we recruit have nothing. I have seen kids who have children now.

Kids 18 years old and have a baby. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to look at people and judge what they do. The more I see it, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want every kid to make a lot of money. But I want every kid who comes to SMU to be able to go to school like an SMU student. Or every kid at KU can go to school like a KU student. So if a kid can go out and eat on a Friday night, or go to a movie because his parents are able to provide that, every student-athlete should have that ability. To go beyond that, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think is right.â&#x20AC;?

The article is available at http://usat.ly/160qrI3 opportunity knocks they beat the door down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool to watch from inside.â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Young has scored 1,030 points during his college basketball career, but 648 came at Loyola Marymount. His path to big-time college basketball also included stops at a pair of junior colleges.

Athletes who must wait as long as the majority of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players waited for a shot tend to not to take what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to experience for granted.

If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach their common goal, lack of effort or an abundance of conceit likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be what made them fall short.

Tharpe making most of opportunity

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six games in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, then-freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe did not play during the final four games of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run to the national title game and logged just 17 minutes of combined court time against KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two opponents.

He still thinks about it often. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely,â&#x20AC;? said Tharpe, following KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory against Iowa State in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was sitting on the bench, and I felt like I was useless to my team. At the end of the day, I tried to keep a good attitude, but I definitely think about that all the time, being on that

KANSAS GUARD NAADIR THARPE SMILES after some words from coach Bill Self following the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 91-65 victory over West Virginia on March 2 at Allen Fieldhouse. bench. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that to ever happen again.â&#x20AC;?

Fortunately for Tharpe, that has not been the case this season, as the sopho-

more from Worcester, Mass., has become topseeded KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top guard off the bench and logged six points and three assists

per game while averaging 19 minutes per contest.

The 5-foot-11 guard who ranks second on the team in assists (101) and fourth in three-point shooting (32-for-97, 33 percent) has appeared in all 34 games and filled a crucial role throughout the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I wanted to do and why I came to this school. Just getting the chance to come out on the court and play, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just excited about that and try to produce as much as I can.â&#x20AC;?

As he prepares for his second NCAA experience, Tharpe admits to being excited about what lies ahead and understands he never would have reached this point had he not learned from the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about timing,â&#x20AC;?

Tharpe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

time for you and (KU coach Bill Self) calls your name, you gotta be ready to step up and take on the challenge. Seeing the dudes from last year who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as much (before that), that was their year that they stepped up. Jeff (Withey), Elijah (Johnson), even (former KU guard Conner) Teahan. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I learned the most. Your nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna get called, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a matter of what you do when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called.â&#x20AC;?

Asked what he thought helped Tharpe bridge the gap between bench warmer and first guard off the bench, Johnson answered with words that sounded as if they came from Tharpe himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opportunity, really,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got his opportunity, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking advantage of it.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said he remembered Tharpeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles as a true freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was confused, and I think that most freshmen who come through here are confused. That would be Anrio Adams this year,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either you let that make you, or you let it break you. I let it make me, and right now, Naadirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letting it make him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of him, honestly.â&#x20AC;?

Asked where his confidence is heading into Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8:50 p.m. tipoff against No. 16 seed Western Kentucky, Tharpe did not hold back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extremely high,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I can go out there and play with anybody. With coach giving me that confidence and my teammates, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to be confident when I step out there now.â&#x20AC;?

Survive and advance also applies to referees

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Forgive college basketball referees for compulsively checking their email inboxes in the hours leading up to dinner two days before Selection Sunday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when John Adams, the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national coordinator of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball officiating, annually notifies 100 officials that they have been chosen to work in the NCAA Tournament.

The evaluation process begins several months before that notification. Adams asks the 31 automaticqualifier conferences for a list of names of officials likely to work conference tournaments. (The Ivy League is asked for a list of officials that likely would be used if the conference had a postseason tournament).

Adams and four regional advisers start with that list of about 500 and make sure that every one of them is evaluated in person by at least one of the five evaluators. After evaluated, the 500 names are placed into one of two groups: 1.

Consider for the NCAA Tournament; 2. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider for the NCAA Tournament. The first group has about 200 names. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a provision where each one of our 31 automatic qualifying leagues provide us with nominations in order of the officials that they manage throughout the season,â&#x20AC;? Adams told the Journal-World in an interview last month in the NCAA offices in Indianapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obligated to take at least one official off each one of the nomination lists from the 31 automatic qualifying leagues. Then

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at the nominations and see where those lines cross between who we think is good enough to work the tournament and who the leagues think are the best guys.â&#x20AC;?

Adams said the first game that a first-time official from a less competitive league works is chosen carefully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time in, you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him in an 8/9 game. You might want him in a 16/1, 15/2 game,â&#x20AC;? he said, then quickly defended their credentials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very capable. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done background checks. We watched them in a game.â&#x20AC;?

Twelve officials are sent to each of the eight sub-regional sites, including Kansas City, Mo. Seven are pre-assigned to work the second day at each site, with three working each game and an

alternate staying in case of an injury or emergency that precludes someone from working a game.

Before making those assignments final, Adams said he studies the brackets for a couple of hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that I know the teams, now that I know the match-ups, are there conflicts? Do I have too many guys from the West Coast, and there are four West Coast teams? So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get neutrality,â&#x20AC;?

Adams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a neutral group, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say Kansas is playing Georgetown, I may want a guy who is particularly identified with the Big 12, a guy who is particularly identified with the Big East and a guy from the Southland, so that nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s griping, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, they know him better than we know him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bit of art work that goes into it.â&#x20AC;?

The evaluation process continues as the tournament field shrinks. The top 40 officials (including four alternates) make the cut and advance to the regional sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We analyze all the evaluations,â&#x20AC;? Adams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re evaluating every official at every game throughout.â&#x20AC;?

Sunday night, the 40 officials who advance are informed. Is the cut based on the entire season or strictly on tournament performance? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably weighted a little more on how they do in the tournament, but much like the (basketball tournament) selection committee relies on a body of work, so do we,â&#x20AC;? Adams said.

Next, on the Monday one week before the NCAA title game, five days before the national semifinals, Adams has the

pleasure of making nine memorable phone calls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I call them personally and tell them, effectively, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You made the show.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I listen to them yell and cheer and screamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and some of them cry,â&#x20AC;? Adams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty emotional phone call for both of us because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the culmination of these guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dreams to work the Final Four.â&#x20AC;?

The Final Four refsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names are made public later that day.

Contrary to popular opinion, coaches are not allowed to make their own personal referee blacklists, according to Adams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a matter of fact, if we were to uncover a blacklist process from one of the automatic qualifying leagues, I think our bylaws are such that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them any share of tournament revenue,â&#x20AC;? Adams said.

No. 16 Western Kentucky over No. 1 Kansas, South Region. OK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a stretch, but a 16 will eventually beat a 1 and after this season of surprises, we decided to throw one in there.

By John Marshall AP Basketball Writer

The NCAA Tournament will not have a repeat champion for the sixth straight season. Kentucky made sure of that by failing to make the field of 68.

Beyond that, nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for certain in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of March Madness after a season of parity that saw the top teams swap positions like it was a hoedown.

The tournament started Tuesday night with the play-in games: North Carolina A&T won its first NCAA game in 10 tries over sub-.500 Liberty and Saint Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulled away from Middle Tennessee.

After two more First Four games Wednesday, the full madness starts today, when whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to be a wilder-thanusual bracket gets rolling.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few things to look for as you get the snacks and drinks lined up around the couch:

Top Teams Louisville: Coach Rick Pitino is one of the best minds in the game, Peyton Siva and Russ Smith are capable of taking over any game, Gorgui Dieng swats shots and grabs rebounds, and the Cardinals went to the Final Four a year ago.

No wonder theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the No. 1 overall seed.

Gonzaga: The Zags are big up front, love to play defense and have few weaknesses. After Final Four runs by Butler and VCU in recent years, topranked Gonzaga has a chance to become the first mid-major to win a title.

Indiana: Preseason No. 1 earned the East Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top seed despite losing a Big Ten semifinal game.

With size, talent and depth, the Hoosiers will be hard to bet against.

Kansas: Bill Self led the Jayhawks to the Final Four last season. He has them in position to make another run despite having an almost entirely different team.

Duke: Return of forward Ryan Kelly makes the Blue Devils a tough matchup for anyone.

Florida: The Gators have one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best backcourts, some

Distances The selection committee did quite a few teams favors this season by allowing them to play close to home.

Kansas has the shortest distance, needing a mere 40 miles to get from Lawrence to Kansas City, where it also has a strong fan base. Rival Kansas State also gets to play at the Sprint Center, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another 80 miles away.

California also has a short journey, heading 45 miles down the bay to play in San Jose, and Michigan will make a 50-mile-orso trek to Auburn Hills, where Michigan State also will play (from roughly 80 miles away).

Louisville will play in a familiar place, at rival Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gym in Lexington about 75 miles away, and Ohio State has about a 70-mile trip to play in Dayton.

The distance losers?

Syracuse in San Jose, which is about 2,800 miles and San Diego State in Philadelphia, roughly 2,700 miles. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guessing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fly for those trips.

Scouting the Eagles: Marquette is a grind-it-out team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they do most of their scoring in the lane and they limit opposing teams to one shot per possession.

4. Syracuse

Record: 26-9 (11-7 Big East) Coach: Jim Boeheim Tournament Record: 56-35 Last tournament appearance: 2012 Key players: SF James Southerland (41 percent from 3-point); PG Michael CarterWilliams (7.8 apg) Scouting the Orangemen: This teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-season rests on Southerland continuing to make his 3s.

Key players: C Mike Muscala (19 ppg, 11.2 rpg), G Cameron Ayes (12.5 ppg) Scouting the Bison: Muscala needs to dominate like he did in the Patriot League, where he was a two-time MVP. â&#x20AC;Ś Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the Bison to be intimidated by a big-name foe: They beat Purdue on the road.

This is a veteran team with four senior starters.

12. California

Record: 20-11 (12-6 Pac-12) Coach: Mike Montgomery Tournament Record: 19-17 Last tournament appearance: 2012 Key players: SG Allen Crabbe (18.6 ppg); PG Justin Cobbs (15.1 ppg) Scouting the Bears: Allen Crabbe is the Pac-12 Player of the Year, a versatile scorer capable of putting 30 points up.

15. Pacific

Record: 20-15 (13-5 Big West) Coach: Bob Thomason Tournament Record: 4-9 Last tournament appearance: 2006 Key player: G Lorenzo McCloud (11.4 ppg) Scouting the Tigers: Might get emotional boost that Thomason is retiring after 25 seasons.

16. James Madison

Record: 20-14 (11-7 Colonial) Coach: Matt Brady Tournament Record: 3-4 Last tournament appearance: 1994 Key players: F Rayshawn Goins (12.7 ppg, 7.9 rpg); G Devon Moore (4.9 apg, 11.6 ppg) Scouting the Dukes: Who to stop? Three starters average between 11.6 and 12.7 ppg.

Miami beast of East

By Dick Jerardi Philadelphia Daily News

Second-Round Match-ups 1 Indiana vs. 16 James Madison 8 North Carolina State vs. 9 Temple 5 UNLV vs. 12 Cal 4 Syracuse vs. 13 Montana 6 Butler vs. 11 Bucknell 3 Marquette vs. 14 Davidson Scott Muthersbaugh/AP Photo 7 Illinois vs. 10 Colorado RION BROWN HELPED MIAMI secure a No. 2 seed in 2 Miami vs. 15 Pacific the East.

My Pick To Win It Miami. If I were Jim Larranaga, I would be concerned about Colorado in the third round. The Buffs have terrific guard play and are comfortable in tournament settings. If Miami gets to the regional in Washington, it will play on the same Verizon Center court where Larranagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s George Mason team got to the 2006 Final Four.

Muscala, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how the Patriot champion got a No. 11 seed in a tourney where Pacific-12 champion Oregon got a 12 seed.

Players You Will Love To Watch Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo are among the Player of the Year finalists. Miami point guard Shane Larkin, Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, has been treDark Horse mendous. North Carolina Butler. The Bulldogs Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C.J. Leslie is one may not qualify anymore, of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most verbut they are a No. 6 and their coach obviously knows how to win NCAA games. No group will be better prepared.

Colorado guard Spencer Dinwiddie is an explosive scorer. Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allen Crabbe averaged nearly 19 points per game.

Montanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kareem Jamar is the first winner of consecutive Big Sky Player of the Year awards in 33 years. Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nik Cochran (94.1 percent) is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best free throw shooter.

our cellphones.

We have been married 29 years and have grown children. We wouldn’t dream of dropping in on them unannounced or constantly calling when we know they want some peace and quiet. I call my parents twice a week to check on them.

They are both in excellent health.

Am I supposed to account to them every single day? Why do they do this, and how can we get some peace while keeping the peace? — Perplexed

Go mad with full day of basketball An annual tradition on CBS for decades, the 2013 NCAA Basketball Tournament (11 a.m.), or “March Madness,” begins today in earnest. In addition to CBS, games will also be airing throughout the day on TBS, TNT and Tru TV. There were years when the arrival of prime-time basketball offered the network its only chance to reach a wide audience. But that has not been the case for some time now, since CBS became the highest-rated network. But basketball still might reach younger male viewers who aren’t exactly glued to “NCIS.” In addition to CBS’ NCAA competition on prime time, the cable network CBS Sports has scheduled more than 90 hours of live coverage and encore programming during the 2013 tournament. “NCAA March Madness 360” (1:30 p.m. to midnight) offers continuing highlights of the day’s action.

While popular, college basketball coverage hardly eclipses the ratings of other sports programming, like NFL football. And there is interesting counterprogramming for nonsports fans. ‘‘Glee” (8 p.m., Fox) has long played up the distinctions and similarities between the arts crowd and sports cliques. Tonight, the teen performers dive deep into their guilty pleasure songbook to warble some groanworthy tunes.

A form of musical chairs unfolds as fans vote a second finalist off “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

And far from the locker room, “The Vampire Diaries” (7 p.m., CW) flashes back to Damon’s decadent lifestyle in New York during the heyday of disco in the 1970s.

As if the weather did not seem apocalyptic enough, the Weather Channel explores grim, “what if” scenarios on “Forecasting the End” (8 p.m.). Tonight, experts contemplate the arrival of a rogue planet in our solar system large enough to affect the Earth’s orbital path.

Tonight’s other highlights

Winter X Games (6 p.m., ESPN) resume in Tignes, France.

The gang goes on a class trip on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

Dear Annie: For many years, I have used the same beautician to cut my hair. She became a good friend in the process. However, about a year ago, my hair just wasn’t “cooperating” with her cuts, so I tried a different beautician and loved the results.

Now I’m torn. I’d like to continue with the new stylist, but I don’t want

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, March 21: This year you are sensitive yet assertive. You often experience conflicts regarding what you want to do and what you should do. If you are single, you will attract quite a list of suitors. If you are attached, your domestic life is key to every other part of your existence.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your immediate circle might be confused by your recent temper and rough edges. With the planet of love entering your sign, you will express more softness and caring. Tonight: Make a gesture to keep the peace.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You express yourself without hesitation or thought. Do notice a tendency to personalize what others are saying, and avoid making mountains out of mole hills.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Listen to news carefully, as it likely will have relevance to you.

You will discover a different path to the same point. Listen to your sixth sense on this matter. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A compliment could make your day. You might not be yourself right now, and others could be wondering what is going on with you. Tonight: It is your call.

to lose an old friend.

How do beauticians feel about their clients when they try someone else’s styles? And how do I tell my friend without hurting her feelings? — Uneasy About Switching Dear Uneasy: We imagine your friend wouldn’t be thrilled to know you have given your business to someone else, although if she sees you as a true friend and not simply as a paying client, she will get over it. But why don’t you first show her your new style and ask whether she can duplicate it? It could solve the problem with less angst.

How you feel when in the company of others adds to your desirability.

Dear Perplexed: You have two simple options: Either call your parents once a day to check on them and let them hear your voice, or turn your cellphones on vibrate and call them back when you feel like it. Both choices are perfectly reasonable.

Many grown kids call their parents daily just as a kindness. We think it’s worth five minutes of your day to reassure your folks that you are OK — and to stop them from driving you nuts.

Dear Annie: Many years ago, my wife and I lived near my parents. After three years of putting up with their too frequent and always unannounced visits, we moved slightly farther away. My Dad is the worst offender.

Mom caters to his every whim. Dad is extremely selfish and really never cares whether he intrudes.

After we moved, the drop-in visits became less frequent, but now the constant phone calls drive us crazy. I have nicely explained to Mom that after a hard day at work, we turn off our landline so we can have some quiet time. I told her not to worry if we don’t answer. I also told her that if there is an emergency, she can call our cellphones.

The problem is, Dad goes ballistic if he cannot reach us and immediately tells Mom to call
