graduate students had complained last fall. Quenette — who has been on paid leave since the investigation opened in late November — said she thought KU’s process was thorough

Facility was using cats to kill pests, inspection finds By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Lawrence Community Shelter used cats in a food storage area to help control its rodent problem — one of a number of violations that led to the closure of the shelter’s kitchen Thursday evening. An inspector found hundreds of fresh rodent droppings on the floor, pots, pans, shelving and containers, boxes and bags of food in the kitchen and warehouse, according to a Kansas Department of Agriculture report. The rodent waste was deemed an “imminent health hazard,” an inspection report states. Two cats were used in the warehouse, where food is stored, “to help with pest control.” Approximately 60 pounds of food had to be thrown out because rodent droppings were on or around it. In the case of imminent health hazards, an establishment is supposed to discontinue operations immediately, according to the Thursday inspection report. There were six violations in total, putting the shelter in noncompliance of state law. Please see SHELTER, page 2A

WILMA L. EDMONDS Wilma L. Edmonds, 83, Lawrence passed away Thursday, March 17, 2016. She was born in Waverly, MO on September 21, 1932, the daughter of William and Arline Stoneking. She graduated from Waverly High School and attended a business vocation school where she learned to be a bookkeeper. Wilma married her husband, Orval, on December 27, 1963. She was a coowner of O&W Construction Company with her husband for over 40 years, in addition, she was an outstanding homemaker. Wilma was a member of the First Christian Church and the Christian Women’s Club. Her favorite activities were caring for her children and grandchildren and socializing with family and friends. She loved watching and dancing to the Grand Ole Opry with her granddaughters, playing cards with family, traveling, cheering for the KU basketball team, watching Wheel of Fortune and playing Bingo. Wilma was the heart of her family. Because of her, love will see us through, memories will make us rich and family will always be the greatest gift.

She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her three children, Karen, Keenan and Kelli; two granddaughters, Lydia and Jamie and one great granddaughter, Mackenzie. She is also survived by her sister LaVerne S. Baldwin (Greydon), brothers Herman Stoneking and Charles Stoneking (Rose); sisters in law Lois Edmonds Hamlet (Don), Edna Mae Edmonds Benschoter Lolley and Melva Edmonds; and her many beloved nieces and nephews.

concerns seriously, and I do appreciate that,” she said. “I didn’t believe I had violated policies ... so I’m glad that the outcome reflected that.” Key to the university’s decision was that while Quenette did say the Nword during a November class discussion about race, she did not use it as a slur. “This word is offensive, but it was used in the context of retelling a factual event that occurred at another campus,” Quenette said, summarizing what the university wrote in a letter explaining its conclusion. “It was not used in racial animus.” In addition to complaints from that class discussion, KU investigators looked at complaints about a lack of diversity training in orientation for communications graduate teaching assistants — for which Quenette coordinates the curriculum — and a simulation video she created for a media and terrorism class that students called stereotypical and offensive, Quenette said. KU addressed each but found no policy violations regarding them, she said. KU’s conclusion made several recommendations for Quenette going forward, she said: Undergo cultural competency training, reevaluate orientation curriculum to include more diversity support and pair up with a faculty mentor. “I think diversity training would be welcomed, and I think it is important for all faculty, so I embrace the opportunity to be able to do that,” she said. “A faculty mentor, I think, is a great thing.” KU also recommended possibly reassigning duties within the communications department, Quenette said. She said specifics of that would likely be discussed with the department chair. A total of eight communications graduate students filed formal complaints against Quen-

ette with the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, Quenette said. Some of the students were in the class where she said the N-word but the majority were not, she said. The university keeps names of complainants confidential. KU spokesman Joe Monaco confirmed Friday that the investigation was complete and that all involved parties had been notified of the outcome. University administrators won’t comment on the findings, Monaco said, citing confidentiality. Quenette, now in her third year as a tenuretrack assistant professor, doesn’t have any classes this spring because she was previously scheduled for a research-intensive semester, but she said she expects to return to teaching this summer or fall. She requested and was granted paid leave for the duration of KU’s investigation after a week of backlash from the Nov. 12, 2015, class discussion — including social media posts with the hashtag #FireAndreaQuenette and a critical open letter posted online by graduate students. Jyleesa Hampton, a first-year communications graduate student who is black, signed the open letter but was not in the class. Hampton did not say whether she was among students who filed Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access complaints, because that information is supposed to be confidential. Hampton said Friday that the office’s conclusion that Quenette didn’t violate policy doesn’t mean her comments weren’t perceived as racist by those who received them. “The students that wrote that letter stand behind that letter, that it is possible to do and say racist things and not violate the law,” Hampton said. “That doesn’t make them any more acceptable.” The class discussion in question came the day after KU’s heated, univer-

sitywide town hall forum on race. It was sparked by a graduate student posing the question, “What is the best approach to talk about that event and these issues with our students?” according to the letter. During the discussion, Quenette said that as a white woman it was difficult for her to relate to others’ challenges because she has not experienced racial discrimination herself, according to both Quenette and students. At KU, unlike other campuses reporting highly visible racist acts and assaults, “It’s not like I see (N-word) spray painted on walls…” the letter quoted Quenette as saying. “Dr. Quenette’s deployment of racially violent rhetoric not only creates a non-inclusive environment in opposition to one of the University of Kansas’ core tenets, but actively destroys the very possibility of realizing those values and goals,” the students wrote. Students said Quenette’s remarks caused them “shock, anger and pain,” according to the letter. They said they would refuse to attend Quenette’s class, and called on her to be fired. Some in academia will consider KU’s decision a win for academic freedom. Quenette’s case made national news and attracted commentary from free speech advocates including the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE. Quenette said she thinks everyone at KU can feel reassured, because both she and the students had an opportunity to be heard and that the process worked. “People need to be respectful of other people’s feelings and situations and positions, and that will always be true,” she said. “I feel hopeful there is opportunity for everyone to learn from this experience but also that faculty here can feel comfortable and not afraid.”

the amount of work going on out there, this doesn’t make me lose pride.” Employees had worked to clean the kitchen until 3 a.m. Friday, going unpaid for the time, Tacha said. He commended staff for “rectifying it as quickly as we did.” Some of the violations were dealt with on the spot Thursday, such as a moldy box of bread in the warehouse and containers of food that weren’t dated. Food was found on the floor of a walk-in cooler. “It was the kind of things you find in a restaurant: food storage issues, pest issues,” Meyer said. “She (the inspector) made a list of things she wanted addressed, and we got that done.” In addition to 100 or so fresh rodent droppings in the kitchen, 200 to 250 old rodent droppings were found on the kitchen floor and another 100 to 150 were on the floor of the warehouse. A pest control service was called Thursday while the inspector was present. During the Friday inspection, shelter staff was told to create a barrier between the cats and a food storage area. “We want to use this as an opportunity to streamline kitchen operations and follow the best practices,” Meyer said. The inspection came after multiple requests from the city to receive a strategic plan — three months after it was due — for how the shelter would remain financially viable in 2016. Facing serious financial problems, the shelter asked for emergency

funding last summer from the city and Douglas County to keep the doors open. The city and Douglas County each provided an additional $50,000 for a total of $100,000. About the inspection results, Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said “the news is certainly concerning.” She noted that the city does not have regulatory oversight of the kitchen, but it does provide funding to the nonprofit. “It is obviously highly inappropriate,” said Commissioner Lisa Larsen, when she heard of the inspection results. “We will need to address this directly with (the shelter).” As for the strategic plan, Meyer submitted that to the city only this week. For the city’s payment, the community shelter board agreed to allow the city to audit its finances and to provide a strategic plan by Dec. 31, 2015. It’s unclear what the plan says. Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay, who was in charge of working with the shelter to get the plan, was not working Friday. Stoddard said the shelter “did provide us something, a document... in response to our request.” Larsen said she had gotten a copy but had not read it yet. “We do have it in our hands, but I didn’t get a chance to look at that, but we will on Monday,” Larsen said.

The scathing audit of Newby’s fiscal management while at the Kansas job is the latest controversy to dog him since he took over the helm of the EAC. Newby infuriated voting rights advocates when he decided without public notice or review from his agency’s commissioners that residents

of Alabama, Kansas and Georgia could no longer register to vote using a federal form without providing proof of U.S. citizenship. Voting rights groups last month sued him and the EAC over the move, saying it hurt voter registration drives and deprived eligible voters of the right to vote.

Topeka — The Kansas House advanced a bill Friday that would create an oversight commission to review state agency construction projects, such as Kansas University’s Central District development, that are financed using public-private partnerships. KU received intense criticism earlier in the session over its decision to issue $327 million in bonds to finance the Central District project by going through a Wisconsin public finance agency, instead of the Kansas Development Finance Authority, which would have required legislative approval. The university was able to do that because it had formed a thirdparty, nonprofit corporation called the KU Campus Development Corporation, which Hutton was the actual issuer of the bonds. But lawmakers were still upset, arguing that eventually the buildings constructed would become state buildings and the state of Kansas would ultimately be liable if

anything were to go wrong with the project. In response, they inserted a proviso into a budget bill for next year that puts strict limits on KU’s ability to spend money from previously unrestricted funds, including tuition, student housing and campus fees. The bill would establish a Public-Private Partnership Commission that would meet over the next several months and make recommendations for future legislation to govern such arrangements. In the meantime, it would prohibit most state agencies from issuing bonds, entering other types of loan agreements or contracting with third parties for construction projects costing more than $2 million unless they receive legislative approval. Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita, who serves on the House Appropriations Committee that recommended the bill, said the intent was not to stop the use of public-private partnerships but instead to put controls on them. “The world is changing, Please see OVERSIGHT, page 4A

SATURDAY COLUMN

KU leaders should learn from situation facing MU By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The newspaper headline reads: “Lawmakers want more say over MU operations.” The story in the Kansas City Star reports: “Missouri legislators dissatisfied with how the University of Missouri System has operated this school year, are looking to take away some control from its board of curators.” A Columbia, Mo., state senator has sponsored a bill that would create a commission “to review the university with authority to recommend changes.” The senator, who also serves as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said in a statement, “My goal in filing this resolution is to provide an objective evaluation of the university’s structure, accountability and transparency.” The proposed commission would have eight members: four appointed by the president

pro tem of the Missouri Senate and four appointed by the House speaker. The news story reports “the job of the commission would be to review the university system’s rules and regulations, administrative structure, campus structure, auxiliary enterprise structure, degree programs, research activities and diversity programs.” The state senator from Columbia said he believes the farreaching measure is “necessary to ensure the long-term survival and growth of this capable institution and to earn back the trust and respect that has been lost through a series of recent poor decisions.” The MU administration and members of the system’s board of curators drew criticism for their handing of racial issues at MU, a situation that triggered the resignations of MU’s chancellor and the system’s president. The schools’ projected enrollment numbers have dropped

and there is fear that private fiscal support will decline. A reduction in state aid, based on lower enrollment numbers, may force the school to make major changes in its operation.

COMMENTARY Kansas University administrators, the entire KU community, the Kansas Board of Regents, KU alumni and friends, prospective students and their parents and those charged with encouraging private fiscal support for the university all should be concerned and interested in this situation and perhaps learn a lesson from what is happening in Columbia and Jefferson City. It would be wrong to think it couldn’t happen in Lawrence and Topeka. KU does not enjoy a good relationship with many in the Kansas Legislature. KU has

done a poor, very poor, job of telling its story and nurturing the respect of state lawmakers. They don’t have to like KU, its individual administrators, its policies, whether it is looked upon as a nest of liberals or other facets of the school, but they should respect the university and its importance to the state. As Kansas’ flagship institution, KU plays a critical role in the state and, as such, it should merit the respect and support of legislators, the governor and the people of Kansas. At one time, this was indeed the case, but times, conditions and individuals have changed and it’s not the same picture now. University leaders need to tone down mannerisms that suggest arrogance, elitism or superiority relative to the other state-aided universities, and they need to do a far better job of telling the university’s story and showing its

importance to the state. Likewise, there must be far more attention given to the importance and role of those appointed to the Board of Regents. The regents need to have more knowledge of what is happening at the various campuses and should demonstrate the backbone and courage to take action when needed. It’s surprising the regents are not blind-sided more often because they are spoon-fed information about the schools by the chancellor, presidents and provosts. They need better sources of unbiased information and better first-hand knowledge of events and potential trouble spots on each campus. The situation in Missouri should serve as a timely and powerful wake-up call for all those interested in the welfare, growth and excellence of KU. There is no justification for complacency. Rather, the focus should be on corrective, positive and genuine actions.

City may let Farmers’ Market move to library BOTTOM LINE

BACKGROUND The Tuesday farmers markets have traditionally been held in the same place as those on Saturday: a city parking lot in the 800 block of New Hampshire Street. Farmers market coordinators are seeking to move the Tuesday market to the library lawn to attract new customers and ease parking constraints.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers showed overwhelming support for a measure seeking to overhaul the juvenile justice system, saying it would save money and reduce the recidivism rate. Under the proposal being considered in the House, low-risk juvenile offenders and those who violate probation for the first time could be referred to community-based programs that allow them to stay in homes with their families instead of being placed in juvenile detention centers as they are currently. House representatives gave the measure a firstround approval vote Friday, after it passed 38-2 in the Senate last month. A Senate conference committee will review the changes to the measure if it passes an expected final-round approval in the House Monday. “It will help generations of Kansas kids to get out of the system, stay out of the system and live better lives,” Republican Rep. Blaine Finch, of Ottawa, said about the reform proposal during a debate Friday. He noted that keeping children out of the criminal system reduces their chances of

recidivism as adults. Youth offenders who commit low- or mid-level offenses will now receive an intervention plan that allows them to stay in the community, although highrisk offenders will continue to be incarcerated. Currently, juvenile offenders are placed in juvenile detention centers, foster homes or group homes for any level of offense. The state will save $72 million over the next five years by sending kids to community-based programs such as anger management and therapy instead of jails, Finch said. The plan will also add $8 million into a juvenile justice improvement fund in fiscal years 2017 and 2018. A provision in the proposal prohibits the governor from allotting money from the fund to other programs. The House committee also added a provision to reserve up to 50 beds in group homes for juvenile offenders without a safe home environment. The previous measure approved by the Senate said all group homes would close by July 2018. Some legislators and law enforcement agencies worried that communities would lose an economic source and that offenders who committed higher-level misdemeanors

would be apt to re-offend if all homes closed. Republican Rep. Greg Lewis, of St. John, said the House version of the bill might allow the Pratt Home Achievement Place, a group home for at-risk juvenile offenders in South Central Kansas, to remain open. The 11 boys in the home attend local school, pay for court costs through money earned from jobs, volunteer in the community and learn skills such as doing their own laundry. “Some of these homes are so broken, there’s no place to send the child back home to,” Lewis said about the home environments for youth at the Pratt center. Republican Sen. Greg Smith from Overland Park, chairman of the committee that sponsored the Senate bill, told The Associated Press that the House committee improved the measure by tightening up the language and including a specific plan for a 19-member oversight committee tasked with making constant improvements to the system. But he added that the Senate conference committee would “like to hear the rationale” behind keeping some group homes open for juvenile offenders instead of closing them within the next two years.

Senate passes disability bill, adds privatization provision Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate has passed a bill intended to define and streamline the process for a shared living program for adults with mental illness and developmental disabilities. The Wichita Eagle reports that the bill passed by a vote of 31-5 after hours of debate Thursday. Before the bill was passed, a provision was added that would require the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services to seek legislative approval before privatizing facilities. The agency says the bill would enable it to reestablish a shared living

program that allows adults with developmental disabilities or other disorders to be placed with a care provider. The agency temporarily suspended the program in October. The bill sparked a heated debate after Sen. Michael O’Donnell, R-Wichita, who was carrying the bill, struggled to tell his colleagues what the bill would actually do and had to repeatedly consult with an agency official who was present in the chamber to provide answers. “This allows the process to be clearly defined and streamlined,” O’Donnell told lawmakers.

Some lawmakers said the bill would enable the agency to privatize facilities and avoid legislative oversight. Agency spokeswoman Angela de Rocha said lawmakers were misunderstanding the bill. She said it was meant to allow the agency to license subcontractors for the program. She said the moratorium went into effect in the first place because the subcontractors weren’t licensed by the agency. Sen. Caryn Tyson, RParker, proposed the amendment, which eased the minds of lawmakers and allowed the bill to pass.

project-delivery method.” Hutton said the bill would also put controls on other types of state construction projects that have stirred controversy recently, such as an attempt this year by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration to relocate a heating and

air-conditioning “power plant” that serves the Capitol Area Complex in Topeka in order to clear the way for demolition of the Docking State Office Building. That deal involved a lease-purchase agreement the administration signed with Bank of America, and pledging

the Landon State Office Building as collateral. The bill would require legislative approval before any agency could enter a lease obligation where the terms call for $1 million a year or more in payments over more than five years. It would also require legislative approval before any

agency could pledge any state-owned institution, facility, property or future rental stream as collateral. Hutton said the motivation behind the bill involved more than just limiting how much the state spends on construction projects. “It was really about,

let’s not spend more money and not tell the state about it,” he said. The House gave firstround approval to the bill on a voice vote. Final action is expected Monday.

own expenses and circumvent review by the county manager. It noted election staff took 86 trips between 2010 and 2015, with improper payments made to Newby on 36 of those. The audit also questioned nearly $40,000 in products and services purchased, and recommended the county seek reimbursement from Newby for $5,478 in improper payments made directly to him.

Newby insisted the purchases he made were approved by the county manager. He dismissed the audit, which was conducted by the county’s auditor, as “a political thing” stemming from long-standing resentment that the Johnson County election commissioner is appointed by the Kansas secretary of state rather than county commissioners. The audit found no problems with the

inventory of voting machines and other equipment, and said testing of the voter registration list that contained 377,522 records found only 15 questionable records that were brought to management’s attention and resolved. EAC commissioners did not return messages seeking comment, and spokesman Bryan Whitener referred any questions to Johnson County. The overall sentiment from the Johnson County

Commission was concern about the lack of detailed business processes that were in place in the election office, said county spokeswoman Sharon Watson. Micah Kubic, executive director of American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, said the crux of the EAC lawsuit is that Newby didn’t follow federal regulations, and that the audit shows that also seems to be the case when he was

in Johnson County. “Following the rules is problematic for him,” Kubic said. The elections office in Johnson County was “one of the best, most highly regarded offices in the country” and had won various awards, Newby said. “I don’t think it is fair to say it raises questions about whether I can do any job,” Newby said of the audit. “I think I did that job excellently.”

he response of Baldwin City residents has enabled the first Habitat for Humanity home to be built in the community in a decade. Bootsie Lauridsen, cochair of the local effort to build the Habitat house, said more than enough money has been raised to construct the home and volunteers have committed to help on the eight weekends needed to build the 1,250-squarefoot house on the northwest corner of 11th and Fremont streets. Lauridsen and project co-chair Bill Neuenswander successfully raised the $65,000 needed to supplement Lawrence Habit for Humanity’s $20,000 contribution toward the cost of the home’s construction. The effort was made easier by a $45,000 gift from Kay Parkin in honor of her late husband, Larry. Lauridsen said site preparations would soon start on the lot of the Habitat home, and that the house’s slab will be poured in April. The home’s future occupants, the family of Josh and Alicia Bayless, will mark the start the first volunteer workday the morning of May 7 with a ceremonial nail drive, she said. They should drive the nail straight and true, having gained experience through required work on Habitat homes in Lawrence. If all goes well and the weather cooperates, the home should be completed with the eight scheduled workdays, Lauridsen said. “They should be able to move in sometime in August, probably about the time school starts,” she said.

Dear Annie: I am a divorced mother of two married children. I am now retired, but in the past, I have helped both my children with financial problems. The kids and their spouses make more money than I do. My son always yammers on about some get-rich-quick scheme and recently borrowed money from me to invest in his own business. He has promised to pay me back, but as always, when the time comes, he invariably has some excuse as to why it’s inconvenient to do so. Over the years, I have co-signed vehicles for him that I end up paying for, and he has never totally repaid any loan. My daughter’s problem is credit cards. No matter how many times I have

Political violence must be condemned Washington — By international and historical standards, political violence is exceedingly rare in the United States. The last serious outburst was 1968 with its bloody Democratic-convention riots. By that standard, 2016 is, as yet, tame. It may not remain so. The political thuggery that shut down a Donald Trump rally in Chicago last week may just be a harbinger. It would be nice, therefore, if we could think straight about cause and effect. The immediate conventional wisdom was to blame the disturbance on the “toxic climate” created by Trump. Nonsense. This was an act of deliberate sabotage created by a totalitarian left that specializes in the intimidation and silencing of political opponents. Its pedigree goes back to early 20th-century fascism and communism. Its more recent incarnation has been developed on college campuses, where for years leftists have been taunting, disrupting and ultimately shutting down and shutting out conservative speakers of every stripe — long before Donald Trump. The Chicago shutdown was a planned attack on free speech and free assembly. Hence the exultant chant of the protesters upon the announcement of the rally’s cancellation: “We stopped Trump.” It had all of the spontaneity of a beer-hall putsch. Given the people, the money and the groups (including

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Trump is not responsible for the assault. But he is responsible for refusing to condemn it. Asked about it, he dodged and weaved, searching for extenuation. ‘The man got carried away.’”

MoveOn.org) behind Chicago, it is likely to be replicated, constituting a serious threat to a civilized politics. But there’s a second, quite separate form of thuggery threatening the 2016 campaign: a leading candidate who, with a wink and a nod (and sometimes less subtlety), is stoking anger and encouraging violence. This must be distinguished from what happened in Chicago, where Trump was the victim and for which he is not responsible. But he is responsible for saying of a protester at his rally in Las Vegas that “I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that

... ? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.” He told another rally that if they see any protesters preparing to throw a tomato, to “knock the crap out of them ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees.” Referring in an interview to yet another protester, Trump said “maybe he should have been roughed up.” At the Vegas event, Trump had said, “I’d like to punch him in the face.” Well, in Fayetteville, N.C., one of his supporters did exactly that for him — suckerpunching in the face a protester being led away. The attacker is being charged with assault. Trump is not responsible for the assault. But he is responsible for refusing to condemn it. Asked about it, he dodged and weaved, searching for extenuation. “The man got carried away.” So what? If people who get carried away are allowed to sucker-punch others, we’d be living in a jungle. Trump said that it was obvious that the cold-cocker “obviously loves his country.” What is it about punching a demonstrator in the face that makes evident one’s patriotism? Particularly when the attacker said on television, “Next time we see him, we might have to kill him.” Whoa! That’s lynch talk. And rather than condemn that man, Trump said he would be instructing his people to look into paying his legal fees. This from the leader of the now strongest faction in the Republican Party, the man most

likely to be the GOP nominee for president. And who, when asked on Wednesday about the possibility of being denied the nomination at the convention if he’s way ahead in delegates but just short of a majority, said: “I think you’d have riots,” adding “I wouldn’t lead it but I think bad things would happen.” Is that incitement to riot? Legally, no. But you’d have to be a fool to miss the underlying implication. There’s an air of division in the country. Fine. It’s happened often in our history. Indeed, the whole point of politics is to identify, highlight, argue and ultimately adjudicate and accommodate such divisions. Politics is the civilized substitute for settling things the old-fashioned way — laying your opponent out on a stretcher. What is so disturbing today is that suffusing our politics is not just an air of division but an air of menace. It’s being fueled on both sides: one side through organized anti-freespeech agitation using Bolshevik tactics; the other side by verbal encouragement and threats of varying degrees of subtlety. They may feed off each other but they are of independent origin. And both are repugnant, both dangerous and both deserving of the most unreserved condemnation. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Baseball brings welcome diversion from politics man Dustin Pedroia and a surplus of young talent. The Yankees will sail again if Alex Rodriguez can repeat last year’s remarkable season and rookie outfielder Aaron Judge can live up expectations. He is a 6-foot-8 outfielder who hits the long, long ball. Also add perhaps the finest relief corps in the AL. Baltimore has the makings of an excellent competitor in 2016, as does Tampa Bay. The Mets deserve to be favored in the NL East, but Sandy Alderson must be sensitive to the aging process. Keeping slugger Yoenis Cespedes was a crowd pleaser in New York, and Washington should challenge in the NL East if Dusty Baker can get the team off to a solid start. Many see the Royals as having a real chance to repeat but that is no small task. Few have done it. But David Glass has signed the finest catcher in baseball, Salvador Perez, to a long-term contract. And you can expect the Astros to do quite well, proving that last year was no fluke. They have a wealth of serious talent. Pittsburgh has real opportunity in the NL Central with arguably the best center fielder in the game, Andrew McCutchen. On the West Coast, the two teams from the Los Angeles, the Angels and the Dodgers, seem poised to rumble. They remain two of MLB’s big spenders. But it would be a serious mistake to discount San Francisco, a skilled and winning franchise. The Giants have won a lot of games in recent post seasons. You can count on record attendance at both major and minor league parks this season. Whatever happens will be exciting and entertaining, a great and much needed diversion in these turbulent times.

By Gene Budig and Alan Heaps

What America needs is a respite from the rough and tumble world of presidential politics and ample time to refocus on Major League Baseball, 2016. After all, it does remain the national pastime. There is much to ponder: the tantalizing smells of the national pastime, hot dogs with mustard, peanuts, soda and beer and the freshness of a manicured infields and outfields. Stats are a must. So away we go. Chicago is filled with optimism as the Cubs return an array of young talent to Wrigley Field led by Kris Bryant and Joe Maddon. White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf will provide Budig more than a few noisy salvos from the South Side with an enviable group of pitchers and skilled position players. There will be buzzing turnstiles at both venues. You can expect Heaps the teams in both the American and National leagues to use more and more pitching arms to win. The richest teams in the game, the Dodgers and the Yankees, have adopted the theory and they are counting on it to deliver success. More and more, starting pitchers will consider six innings a full day of work. The Bronx Bombers and their chief rivals, the Red Sox, will offer the AL East an interesting ride. New Boston president Dave Dombrowski, a proven winner in both leagues, has added one of game’s finest pitchers, David Price. He will enjoy the return of veterans Hanley Ramirez (if he can learn to play first base), the ageless designated hitter, David Ortiz, pesky second base-

— Gene Budig is a former American League president (1994-2000) and a former Kansas University chancellor. Heaps was vice president of the College Board in New York City.

PUBLIC FORUM

Dog racing a bad bet To the editor: Dog tracks are failing all across the U.S., but Kansas lawmakers have recently been asked to bring racing back to Kansas. This is an antiquated and rejected industry and will cost taxpayers. The developer trying to convince the House Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development is using racing to obtain a tax break for planned slot machines at three locations in Kansas. The idea is nothing but a subsidy scheme. Kansas does not need to reinstate an industry that exploits a fine breed of canine. As rescued greyhound owners, we know this breed should be raised, loved and cared for as are all other breeds of dogs in this country, not treated as a commodity and slaughtered when it is no longer making the owner money. (For more information, visit the site www.aspca.org/animal-cruelty/other-animal-issues/greyhound-racing) Nearly 100,000 people have signed a petition (available at change.org/opposeksdogracing) opposing HB2537 and the return of dog racing to the Sunflower State. Please join me in rejecting any and all legislation that would restore this cruel industry to our state. Jan Adamson and Bill Gerstner, Lawrence

Salah Abdeslam, the main fugitive from November’s Paris terror attack, was arrested Friday along with two other suspects in a raid on an apartment in a Brussels suburb, French President Francois Hollande said. Abdeslam was wounded in an intense gun battle as heavily armed security forces descended on a house in Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb where several of the Paris terrorists once lived. He was

French television showed images of police dragging a man with a white hooded sweatshirt into an unmarked police car as the operation unfolded. Hollande, in a joint news briefing with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, confirmed Abdeslam’s arrest and said he was “directly linked to preparing, organizing and, unfortunately, perpetrating” the attacks in November in Paris that killed 130 people. Michel called the arrests a

He said there would be other arrests soon “that will allow us to know the real truth and that justice will be carried out.” “The importance of Abdeslam’s capture cannot be overstated,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., (D-CA), the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “He may be the only remaining member of the team that directly participated in terrorizing and has been called the logistical chief for the group because he reportedly booked cars and hotel rooms and ferried suicide bombers to their destinations.”

Government subsidies make playing field uneven, they say Jeanette Leehr Round Earth Media

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — When third-generation farmer Rick Roth envisions the possible end of the long U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, just across the Florida straits, he sees potential competition. And he worries about diseases, pests and invasive species. While many U.S. agricultural producers and businesses are eager to start exporting to Cuba, Florida farmers say the Obama administration’s plan to allow Cuban imports threatens their $8 billion-a-year business. Florida’s larger organic growers, already struggling to remain profitable, may be particularly hard-hit because Cuba has developed a strong organic farming

sector. Initially, Cuba most likely would export many of the same products grown by Florida organic farms, and the communist nation would enjoy the advantage of lower wages, state subsidies, cheap transportation and the novelty appeal of Cuban products. “About two-thirds of our members are extremely against the Cuba deal,” said Janell Hendren, national affairs coordinator of the Florida Farm Bureau Federation, the state’s largest agricultural organization, which represents 144,000 conventional and organic farmers. Roth, who grows vegetables and sugar cane on 5,000 acres in Palm Beach County, said competition from Cuba, never a concern v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

BERLIN After months of infighting, the European Union and Turkey clinched a deal aimed at halting the flow of migrants to the continent, European Council President Donald Tusk said. Tusk said there was “unanimous agreement.” Earlier Friday, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka tweeted, “The deal with Turkey approved. All illegal migrants who reach Greece from Turkey starting March 20 will be returned.” Under the plan, the EU will pay to send migrants coming to Greece who don’t qualify for asylum back to Turkey. For every migrant returned, the EU would also accept one Syrian refugee. The Syrians will be distributed among EU states. Turkey already hosts 2.7 million Syrian refugees. Many migrants arrived on the Greek islands by boat after fleeing conflict in the Middle East. In televised remarks Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is not attending the summit, said, “At a time when Turkey is hosting 3 million, those who are unable to find space for a handful of refugees, who in the middle of Europe keep these innocents in shameful conditions, must first look at themselves.” In exchange , Turkey previously said it wanted its long-stalled application to join the EU to be accelerated, passport-free travel to the EU for its citizens as early as this summer and new diplomatic efforts to be made over Cyprus, an island divided since 1974 following a coup supported by Greece.

Air Force probing drug use at nuclear base Jim Michaels USA TODAY

The Air Force is investigating 14 airmen at a sensitive nuclear base in Wyoming for illegal drug use, the Air Force confirmed Friday. The servicemen are junior enlisted troops who are part of a security force at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, a nuclear missile base near Cheyenne, according to the Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the nuclear missile force. The force provides security

for the Minutemen III missiles, which are based there. Those servicemen who are under investigation have been suspended from their duties, the Air Force said. The Air Force said the matter was still under investigation and it could not provide more details. The security force is trained and equipped to respond quickly to threats to the nuclear force. The investigation was first reported by The Associated Press. The allegations are the latest blow to the Air Force’s nuclear missile force. Missile officers at

a nuclear base in Montana were implicated in a cheating scandal two years ago. Some officers were found to have shared answers on a proficiency test. Others knew about it, but did not report it. The investigation led to broader concerns that the nuclear force had grown demoralized as the Cold War ended and the U.S. military shifted its focus to the Middle East. During a recent visit to the F.E. Warren base, Robert Work, the deputy secretary of defense, said the Air Force had addressed many of the morale problems that the nuclear force faced.

Air Force security forces participate in a training exercise to secure a missile silo at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.

CUBA

Congress stalls as Obama preps for visit to Cuba Lawmakers unlikely to lift embargo on island before November elections Alan Gomez USA TODAY

MIAMI As President Obama prepares for a historic trip to Cuba next week to narrow the remaining gap between longtime enemies, Congress appears unlikely to get on board. The biggest obstacle that remains is an economic embargo on Cuba only Congress can lift, but action on that front before this year’s elections is unlikely. More than a half-dozen bills to amend or repeal the embargo are floating through Congress. They have widespread support among Democrats and are slowly picking up GOP backers. Still, with election season in full swing and few willing to make

major changes before a new Congress is seated, those hoping for a dramatic change in Cuba policy are running out of time. “I don’t think it’ll happen before the presidential election,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, DMinn., who filed a bill to repeal the embargo and will join Obama on his trip to the communist country. After Obama announced in December 2014 he would end the five-decade political freeze with Cuba, U.S. business leaders, politicians and government officials have flooded the isolated country. That initial wave of enthusiasm has given way to a more cautious approach. Cuba’s communist leadership has been slow to embrace new economic opportunities or take steps to

Secretary of State John Kerry, right, and Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., visited Havana in August.

provide political freedoms. Congressional leaders cite that lack of change as the reason to not fully normalize ties. Klobuchar and a growing number of Republicans have been trying to convince enough colleagues to weaken or repeal the embargo. Republicans in both chambers have filed a bill to allow any American to travel to Cuba — current law forbids travel there solely as a tourist. GOP lawmakers have backed bills allowing more U.S. businesses to export their products to Cuba and help build the island’s crumbling telecommunications infrastructure. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., who has twice traveled to Cuba and will also join Obama on his trip there, said his GOP colleagues are starting to pay more attention and move past the “cold warrior mentality” that has dominated congressional thinking for decades.

“Even though it is threading the eye of a needle ... I do believe there is still an opportunity to lift the embargo in total,” said Emmer, who has filed a bill to expand trade with Cuba. The most difficult part is convincing the GOP leadership in Congress to schedule votes on the bills. Marc Hanson, senior associate for Cuba at the Washington Office on Latin America, a research organization that advocates for human rights in the region, said he’s targeting Republicans who could support the bills. They include libertarians who don’t like the government forbidding Americans from traveling wherever they want, freemarket Republicans who don’t like the government restricting trade and lawmakers from states where agricultural companies could benefit from exports to an island that can’t produce enough food for its 11 million citizens.

before, is now a possibility. “Florida is the logical place for Cuban produce to come first,” he said, adding that it would be unfair to expect Florida farmers to compete with state-subsidized Cuban producers. “When you buy Cuban products, are you helping the Cuban farmer — or the Cuban government?” In addition to fruit and vegetables, the U.S. might find itself importing diseases and pests that could wipe out a crop or entire industry, he said. Since December 2014, when the United States began restoring diplomatic ties with Cuba, three bills have been introduced in Congress with the aim of normalizing trade, including ending the prohibition of products of Cuban origin from entering the U.S. In polarized Washington, some Midwest Republicans are on Obama’s side, seeing a potential bonanza for companies that sell seed, fertilizers and machinery. Paul Johnson, co-chair of the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, the leading farm industry group lobbying for relaxation of the trade embargo, said pressure from his group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Obama will build momentum for the change.

Eva Worden, co-founder of Worden Farm with her husband, Chris, inspects celery. But Hendren said flatly, “It’s not gonna happen this year.” The outcome will depend on who wins this year’s presidential and congressional elections, and lifting the embargo will likely be a “very hot topic in 2017,” she said. Cuba once focused on capitalintensive, industrialized agriculture on large state-run farms, but was forced to change after economic support from the Soviet Union evaporated. After serious food shortages in

1994, it embraced small-scale urban farms, which turned out to be surprisingly successful. “Cuba has the largest experiment in organic agriculture anywhere in the world,” said Bill Messina, an authority on Cuban agriculture at the University of Florida. “Cuba reports large production volumes of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers — all the kinds of products we produce here.” Cuba now exports vegetables and honey to Canada, citrus products to the European Union and sugar to China. But the country still imports 70% to 80% of its food. Much of what it produces goes to domestic consumption, but that could change if trade with the U.S. resumes. Before that happens, Cuba and the U.S. would need to hammer out trade protocols and harmonize certification. That process would get a boost if the USDA’s request for an office and staff in Cuba is approved. Johnson’s trade group visited Cuba last March, the first major U.S. business trip after Obama’s announcement. It plans a second trip in late May to bring U.S. farmers and Cubans together to press ahead on topics that include production, investment, trade and sustainability.

Transport routes are ready. Ships loaded with food, medical products and other authorized exports travel weekly from Florida to Cuba. “But these ships return with empty containers. It would be good to have a backhaul; it could help lower shipping costs, too,” Johnson said. “We have the capacity to do anything and everything with Cuba,” said Carlos Buqueras, director of Port Manatee on Florida’s Gulf Coast. If the embargo is lifted, Cuba will have to decide whether to continue to promote organic agriculture or opt again for an industrialized agriculture model. Large U.S. agricultural interests are promoting industrialization and are making it attractive with offers of financing and investment. But there’s a lot of money in organics, according to Johnson, who is also CEO of import-export business Chicago Foods International. “I’m pretty sure I can put a sticker on an [organic Cuban] avocado and sell it for a whole lot at Whole Foods,” he said. Similarly, Sun-Maid Growers of California, a large fruit growers’ cooperative, recently said it is looking into importing organic mangoes from Cuba. Eva Worden, a Cuban-Ameri-

can organic grower in Punta Gorda, Fla., supports a resumption of trade between the U.S. and Cuba but wants to be sure the fruit and vegetable needs of the Cuban people are met before encouraging exports. Worden and her husband, Chris, both experts in horticulture with doctorates, founded Worden Farms in 2003. They serve 600 families with regular deliveries of fruits and vegetables and sell at farmers’ markets in St. Petersburg and Sarasota. Given the opportunity, the Wordens say they would look at expanding their production to Cuba. Cuba is experimenting with some less familiar produce, such as moringa, said Todd Logan, a Florida organic landscaper who traveled to Cuba. Moringa, touted as the next “superfood,” grows on a drought-tolerant tree that thrives in sandy soils in the tropics and is very high in protein, calcium and Vitamin C. Then there’s guanabana, also known as soursop, a delicious fleshy, green fruit, that Worden hopes will become available in the U.S. This story was produced in association with Round Earth Media, a non-profit organization that mentors young international journalists.

Jury awards Hogan $115M in Gawker sex-tape suit Former wrestler’s life was turned ‘upside down,’ attorney says Jennifer Titus

WTSP-TV, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A Florida jury sided with ex-pro wrestler Hulk Hogan on Friday and awarded him $115 million in his sex tape lawsuit against Gawker Media. The jurors reached the decision less than six hours after they began deliberations. The jury awarded Hogan $55 million for economic injuries

and $60 million for emotional distress. Hogan wept when the verdict was announced. Over the course of two weeks of testimony, the jury heard from Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, Gawker CEO Nick Denton and expert witnesses. Hogan sued Gawker for $100 million for posting a video in 2012 of him having sex with his former best friend’s wife. Hogan contended it was a violation of his privacy. “With a click and upload, it turned this man’s life upside down,” Hogan attorney Kenneth Turkel said. Gawker’s editors contended

the video and an accompanying post was a newsworthy commentary on the ordinariness of celebrity sex videos.

They told the jury that the video is “not like a real celebrity sex tape” and urged them to watch the video, which contains

nine seconds of sexual content. They pointed out that news of the sex tape first appeared on at least two websites: TMZ and The Dirty. Hogan went on TMZ’s TV program and Howard Stern’s show to talk about it. “He has consistently chosen to put his private life out there, for public consumption,” said attorney Michael Sullivan. He also criticized Hogan’s claim that he was in Hulk Hogan persona when he was doing interviews. “An actor playing a character does that on set, but when they go on a talk show, they’re themselves,” Sullivan said.

Sanders’ advice to Sheriff Arpaio: ‘Watch out, Joe’ Clinton campaign criticized senator for wife’s meeting with immigration hard-liner Rebekah L. Sanders @RebekahLSanders The Arizona Republic

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ripped into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio at a rally in northern Arizona on Thursday after facing criticism from the Clinton campaign for an encounter Sanders’ wife had with the immigration-hard-liner sheriff. The U.S. senator from Vermont said Arpaio’s arrests of undocumented immigrants, often separating families, were “outrageous PHOENIX

and unconscionable.” “It’s easy for bullies like Sheriff Arpaio to pick on people who have no power,” Sanders said. “If I am elected president — the president of the United States does have power. So watch out, Joe.” The crowd of about 900 erupted in cheers. Another 1,900 people who couldn’t fit in the ballroom at the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort near Flagstaff listened to Sanders address them from outside the venue. The crowds were estimated by resort officials. Sanders spoke to the crowd, which included students from nearby Northern Arizona University and residents of Flagstaff and the Navajo Reservation, for about 50 minutes. Sanders’ challenge to Arpaio,

harsher than his stump speech at a Tuesday rally in Phoenix, comes after Arizona supporters of Hillary Clinton have come down on the anti-establishment candidate for his immigration stances. They have criticized Sanders for voting in 2006 for an amendment that would expand lengthy detentions of some undocumented immigrants. Other Clinton supporters, including Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., have called the Sanders campaign visit on Monday to Arpaio’s infamous outdoor detention center, Tent City, a media ploy. “The Sanders campaign played into one the easiest and most damaging clichés in Arizona politics: going to Sheriff Joe Arpaio to get news coverage,” Gallego, a longtime sheriff foe, said in a Facebook statement. “...

Old blog shows very different Trump views A decade ago, GOP front-runner had open mind on gay marriage, praise for Obama, Clinton Paul Singer USA TODAY

Ten years ago, Donald Trump had a pretty open mind about gay marriage. “If two people dig each other, they dig each other,” he wrote about the marriage of Elton John and longtime partner David Furnish. “I’m very happy for them.” The December 2005 comment was posted on the “Trump Blog” he maintained on the Trump University website, a kind of journal of Trump’s thoughts on everything from why he chose various contestants for Celebrity Apprentice to why women struggle in the workplace: “I think women have a tough situation in the workplace because of the sexual undertones,” Trump wrote in October 2005. “The business environment is so cutthroat that men and women learn to use whatever they can to get ahead, including their sexuality. Yet, when women do this, the perception of them changes. That’s why women have to work harder to overcome obstacles.” The blog is no longer live on the Internet, though some of the posts are still viewable through the Internet Archive, a non-profit site that collects website pages. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on this story. Some of the opinions Trump expressed on the blog run counter to Republican orthodoxy and to views he now espouses. For instance, on gay marriage, in June 2015 he told CNN, “I’m for traditional marriage.” In February 2009, he praised President Obama’s efforts to cap the bonuses of Wall Street executives from companies that were being bailed out by the government, in a post titled “Obama is Absolutely Right.” “The concept of bailouts is a two-edged sword.

Donald Trump, in a 2008 blog post, wrote that he had high hopes for the Obama presidency. do the bailout, we would be in depression No. 2, and maybe it would be just as big as depression No. 1, so they really had to do something. We don’t really know if it’s going to work for quite some time. If it’s really wrong — and it could be wrong — we’re going to really have a mess in two years.” “We are in a situation that is trial and error. We’ve never dealt with this before. But I think Obama is doing the right thing and all of us must remain alert to what is happening.” In another post the same month, discussing his appearance on Neal Cavuto’s television show, Trump seemed to break from the broad Republican opposition to President Obama’s $800 billion stimulus package than most Republicans at the time. “Neal asked me about Obama’s stimulus plan, and I said that something had to be done, but

“Hillary is smart, tough and a very nice person, and so is her husband. Bill Clinton was a great President. They are fine people. Hillary was roughed up by the media, and it was a tough campaign for her, but she’s a great trouper. Her history is far from being over.” Donald Trump in 2008 blog post

that there are no guarantees. We are in unmapped territory these days. We haven’t encountered this kind of situation before, and it is complex. We can only hope for the best.” In a 2005 post, Trump defended “outsourcing,” the practice of companies moving production overseas that he has railed against as a presidential candidate. In an August 2005 post titled “Outsourcing Creates Jobs in the

Long Run,” Trump wrote: “We hear terrible things about outsourcing jobs — how sending work outside of our companies is contributing to the demise of American businesses. But in this instance I have to take the unpopular stance that it is not always a terrible thing.” Trump noted a study “that showed how global outsourcing actually creates more jobs and increases wages, at least for IT workers”:

“The study found that outsourcing helped companies be more competitive and more productive. That means they make more money, which means they funnel more into the economy, thereby, creating more jobs.” “I know that doesn’t make it any easier for people whose jobs have been outsourced overseas, but if a company’s only means of survival is by farming jobs outside its walls, then sometimes it’s a necessary step. The other option might be to close its doors for good.” In two blog posts at the end of 2008, he praised both Presidentelect Obama and Hillary Clinton. Recounting his appearance on a New York radio program, Trump wrote that he had said: “Hillary is smart, tough and a very nice person, and so is her husband. Bill Clinton was a great President. They are fine people. Hillary was roughed up by the media, and it was a tough campaign for her, but she’s a great trouper. Her history is far from being over.” Trump also said he had high hopes for Obama’s presidency: “Barack will need to be a great president, because we’re in serious trouble as a country. It hasn’t been this way since 1929. So he doesn’t have much choice — he will simply have to be great, which he has a very good chance of being. I saw him speak in Berlin, and what he has done is amazing. The fact that he accomplished what he has in one year is truly phenomenal.” “After 9/11, this country had a lot of compassion from countries around the world. Within a short amount of time, we were hated. How did that happen? We had no dialog with other countries because they just plain hated us. I think we know who is responsible for that. What’s different today is that we have a new chance, a new beginning. The world is excited about Barack Obama and the new United States. Let’s keep it that way!”

IN BRIEF FEMALE NAMED HEAD OF COMBAT COMMAND

President Obama has named Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson the new head of U.S. Northern Command, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday, which will make Robinson the first female commander of a combatant command in history. “General Robinson is an extremely talented Air Force officer,” Earnest said, who “has distinguished herself as a particularly effective leader. There is no question she is eminently qualified and exactly the right person for the job.” Created in 2002, Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) oversees the military’s homeland defense and the surrounding water to approximately 500 miles off the U.S. coasts. Robinson, one of two four-star generals in the Air Force, is now head of the Pacific air forces. She is a 1981 graduate of the University of New Hampshire and entered the Air Force through its ROTC program.

Starwood Hotels and Resorts said Friday it axed a deal to sell itself to Marriott International after a competing group of investors led by a burgeoning Chinese insurance giant made a better offer — though Starwood said it would give Marriott a chance to improve its bid. China-based Anbang Insurance — together with U.S. private equity firm J.C. Flowers and China-based investors Primavera Capital — offered $78 per share, or about $13.2 billion, for Starwood. Marriott offered $65.33 per share, or about $11 billion. Marriott trumpeted its bid to become the largest hotel company in the world by acquiring the owner of brands such as W Hotels, St. Regis, Westin and Aloft. The competing proposal for Starwood presents a serious threat to that ambition. The new offer — up from the Anbang group’s previous pitch of $76 per share — sets up what could become a bidding war between the foreign investors and an American hotel giant defined by brands such as its namesake hotel chain, Courtyard, Residence Inn and Ritz-Carlton. Starwood said it had deemed the new offer a “superior proposal,” and Marriott can make a new bid through March 28. Marriott signaled it would probably make a new offer, saying it “continues to believe that a combination of Marriott and Starwood is the best course for both companies” and it is “carefully considering its alternatives.” If Starwood accepts the Anbang offer, it will be required to pay a

Starwood-Marriott-Anbang triangle: What it means for loyal consumers Nancy Trejos USA TODAY

Starwood Hotel and Resorts’ deeming of Anbang’s offer as “superior” to Marriott International’s bid could be a win for Starwood’s loyalist guests. The Starwood Preferred Guest program has millions of devoted followers, and news late last year Marriott International wanted to purchase Starwood was met with mass disapproval. A big reason why: “One Starwood Preferred Guest point goes much further than a Marriott Reward point,” says Zach Honig, editor-in-chief of The Points Guy, which rates hotel and airline loyalty programs. Each Starwood Preferred Guest point is worth 2.5 cents vs. Marriott’s .7 cents, according to Honig. “That’s a huge difference,” he says. Those loyalty programs — which offer perks such as free stays and room upgrades — are the way hotel companies can make a noticeable impact on travelers, especially when their business is being lured away by lodging competitors such as separate portfolio of hotels from Blackstone Group for $6.5 billion. Amid growing political consternation in the USA over China’s role as an economic competitor, Anbang’s emergence is sure to draw close scrutiny from a Treasury Department panel that must approve such foreign acquisitions. Anbang had $129 billion in assets as of July, according to China state media agency Xinhua. An-

A competing bid has complicated the fate of Starwood’s popular loyalty program.

Airbnb, says David Loeb, senior hotel research analyst at Baird, a financial services firm. From the guest perspective, these programs are “one of the most important things,” he says. “It’s important for them to keep the competitive advantage.” Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson has not publicly made a decision about what will happen with the Starwood program if the merger goes through. “If Starwood goes to Anbang, probably the Starwood Preferred Guest program, which is very popular, won’t be eliminated,” predicts C. Patrick Scholes, managing director of lodging research at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. “If it goes to Marriott, it probably will.” bang says it has more than 30,000 employees globally and more than 3,000 branches selling insurance and investment products, primarily in China. Its ambitions have mushroomed, as evidenced by the Blackstone deal and acquisition in 2014 of New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel for $2 billion. The deal would require approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

S&P puts Ackman’s struggling company on downgrade watch Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Billionaire activist investor Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Holdings has suffered a new setback linked to the plunge of its Valeant Pharmaceuticals International investment: a Standard & Poor’s warning of a potential rating downgrade. Pershing Square’s net asset value has dropped substantially, “largely because of a precipitous decline in the market value of Valeant,” S&P said Thursday, referring to the nearly 89% nosedive in the embattled drugmaker’s value since early August. “We placed the ratings on CreditWatch negative to reflect the substantial drop in PSH’s net asset value over the past five

Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Holdings has seen its net asset value decline.

months as a result of very weak investment performance,” wrote S&P credit analyst Trevor Martin. The net asset value of the fund, rated BBB by S&P, sank to $3.8 billion on March 15, down from $5.3 billion at the end of October, as debt to total assets increased from approximately 15% to more than 20%, the rating agency said. Although the ratio increased beyond the rating agency’s expectations, S&P said Pershing Square

management had “taken proactive steps to respond to the turmoil” by announcing this week that the fund had sold 20 million shares of what initially was a $5.5 billion ownership stake in snack food giant Mondelez International. After the sale, the level of cash held by the fund exceeded total debt, S&P said. However, the rating agency also warned that Pershing Square has lost money on 11 of 12 investment positions since Oct. 27, when S&P revised its outlook on the company to negative. In particular, shares of Nomad Foods and Howard Hughes lost 45% and 20% of their respective values, S&P said. Ackman’s Pershing Square unit is down 26% so far this year, after posting a 20% loss for 2015. Pershing Square’s financial performance has been “weaker than its peers” since S&P started rating the fund in May 2015, “in contrast to its stellar track record in previous years,” the rating agency

said. S&P said it could downgrade its Pershing Square rating if Valeant filed for bankruptcy court protection or if Pershing Square lowered its free cash level “before Valeant’s stock price has substantially recovered.” The drugmaker has delayed filing its annual report amid an internal investigation of its since-canceled business relationship with a specialty pharmacy firm that distributed Valeant medications. Short seller Andrew Left’s Citron Research in October accused Valeant of creating an apparent “network of phantom captive pharmacies” to steer pharmacy benefit managers to the drugmaker’s more expensive drugs, instead of less-costly alternatives. Valeant denied the allegations. However, it has confirmed it is under investigation by federal prosecutors in Massachusetts and New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission and two congressional committees.

Term could be hint company is going up for sale Q: What do ‘strategic alternatives’ mean? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When companies are doing well, they don’t normally look for “strategic alternatives.” Long before companies look for strategic alternatives, investors should look elsewhere. The term strategic alternatives is somewhat of a code word for a company trying to put itself up for sale. Typically, when a company’s management or its investors think the firm needs to restructure itself in a radical way, it will announce it’s looking for alternatives. That might involve selling the company to a competitor that can find efficiencies or taking the company private by selling to private investors or the management. Companies don’t get to this point overnight, and investors should be out of a stock long before it happens. Consider the events at teen retailer Aeropostale, which said this week it was looking for alternatives. The stock has dropped 84% over the past year and fell nearly 50% Friday to roughly a quarter a share following disappointing quarterly results. Aeropostale is another example of why investors shouldn’t hold on to a stock long enough for a company to pursue alternatives. There are much better alternatives for investors’ money.

Aéropostale stock dives on talk of sale or restructuring Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Aéropostale sank sharply Friday after the embattled teen apparel chain reported financial losses and said it is exploring a potential sale or restructuring of the New York-based company. The company’s stock closed down 45.83% at 25 cents a share, continuing a nosedive accelerated by the Thursday announcement. Aéropostale reported an ad-

The results were down from a one penny per share profit on $593.8 million for the same period last year. The company also said it expects first-quarter 2016 losses of $24 million to $29 million, with translates to a net loss of 35 cents to 42 cents per diluted share. Along with the red ink, Aéropostale said its board of directors “has authorized management to explore a full range of strategic and financial alternatives, including a potential sale or restructuring of the company.” There can be no assurance the process will produce a specific ac-

tion, and can not fix timing for further details, the company cautioned. Additionally, Aéropostale warned that an ongoing vendor dispute with MGF Sourcing, an affiliate of Sycamore Partners, is disrupting the supply of some merchandise. The dispute could cause an additional operating loss if not resolved, the company said. Once trendy with teen fashion shoppers, the company has struggled to regain its popularity. Aéropostale CEO Julian Geiger said the company plans to differentiate its apparel offerings

between its larger, so-called factory stores and its mall outlets. While both groups of stores will get many of the same products, “there will be factory exclusives and mall exclusives which will be geared specifically to the customer preferences we’ve identified,” Geiger said in a conference call with financial analysts. “We believe that our revised merchandise assortment and our more targeted merchandise allocation approach in our factory chain will reinvigorate our stores, delivering our customers the product and shopping experience they desire,” said Geiger.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

elcome to the gun show. The Punisher, one of pop culture’s most identifiable antiheroes, makes his debut in the second season of Marvel’s Daredevil (premiering Friday on Netflix), and as in the comic books, he arrives with a vengeful mean streak and armed to the teeth. As played by Jon Bernthal, though, the character’s not sporting that iconic skull on his chest at first. Instead, the focus is more on Frank Castle, the man rather than the infamous name and a former soldier waging his own street war in New York City to take out the criminals who killed his family. “This is going to be a bit of an origin story, and we find this guy still absolutely reeling, and his world has been completely flipped upside down,” says Bernthal, who has played violent characters before on TV’s The Walking Dead and in the World War II movie Fury. “This unbelievable trauma that he went through — what impression does that leave on him, and how is he going to move forward? The way I look at it, that’s going to be a part of him forever, and it’s

Bernthal “doesn’t necessarily need to do very much to be very menacing,” co-star Charlie Cox says. going to color every move he makes, every thought he has. We’ll see the birth of a Punisher.” Of course, a guy running around killing people in Hell’s Kitchen is going to get on the crazy-good radar of the locale’s resident blind superhero Daredevil and his attorney alter ego Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox). Matt at first feels his own presence as a vigilante has wrought men such as the Punisher, and the run-ins between the two lead to them first being foes and later, uneasy allies. After having chained the hero

on a rooftop, Frank tells Daredevil, “You know, you’re one bad day away from being me” — a line that goes back to a discussion Cox first had with first-season showrunner Steven DeKnight in fleshing out Daredevil’s mind-set and personality, the series’ star says. Bernthal fit the Frank Castle mold perfectly because of what he brings to his roles, Cox says. “He doesn’t necessarily need to do very much to be very menacing. That’s the thing with these antiheroes: It needs to feel effortless, otherwise it begins to become caricature-ish.”

Bernthal looks the part, adds executive producer Douglas Petrie: “He’s got a face with a nose that’s been broken 14 times. That’s literally true.” Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane and Ray Stevenson have played the Punisher on the big screen, achieving varying degrees of success. What was needed for Daredevil was “a (Taxi Driver) Travis Bickle Punisher: a very grounded guy who looked like a walking powder keg,” executive producer Marco Ramirez says. In Marvel’s Netflix mold of a well-woven underworld tapestry, he says, “we’re telling crime stories that are as close to The Shield as they are to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. We weren’t talking about the action figure yet — we were talking about him as a human being.” Frank is very damaged but also, deep down, a good and just man, and because of that, the Punisher’s pain is felt more than his violent nature, according to Bernthal. “The single most important thing for me in my preparation for playing this part was being a father and having children,” he says. “I don’t think this is really a part that somebody should play without a family. You’ve gotta know what that feels like, and then you’ve gotta go to as dark a place as possible.”

Director unveils new storytelling app at SXSW Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

AUSTIN Star Wars director J.J. Abrams won’t shoot in virtual reality anytime soon. “So long as (VR) is unwieldy, it will limit long-form storytelling,” Abrams told USA TODAY after his talk at SXSW Interactive. “It is an exciting and valid means by which stories can be told. But being inside the community that is trying to figure out the best way to tell stories, I guess I would say that some ideas are best expressed as songs, some as plays, some as films or others as a series. And some not at all.” Abrams concedes that in very short bursts, VR may provide an emotional journey that other forms of media can’t replicate. “Some experiences likely are best expressed in VR in its current form, but it’s unlikely to exist as a 90-minute experience for

anyone,” he says. “The question for now is, what is that ideal three-minute VR piece?” Virtual reality was a hot commodity at the South By Southwest festival this year, where many speakers and booths were dedicated to what is arguably the tech innovation of the year. Though VR hardware is making big leaps in the imminent

shipping of high-end gear from Oculus Rift and Sony PlayStation VR, the question of content hangs in the air. Media, advertising and some entertainment companies hope to pioneer storytelling in the new medium. VR wasn’t the draw for Abrams, who came to town with longtime friend Andrew Jarecki, director of HBO’s critically acclaimed 2015 series The Jinx. The six-part documentary explored the bizarre case of alleged murderer Robert Durst. In January, Moviefone app creator Jarecki launched a video-storytelling app called KnowMe with financial backing from Abrams. The two were featured in a festival event called “The Eyes of Robots and Murderers,” which focused on the need for humanized stories in an increasingly detached age. KnowMe allows users to stitch together smartphone-based media — video clips, audio recordings, photos — in a way that is more expansive than Snapchat. “We want to democratize the creation experience,” Jarecki says. “As filmmakers, we are all about time compression, taking a story someone told in 25 minutes

and making it one minute.” “KnowMe allows you to narrate and perform, to become more intimate. It’s more authentic in representing who the storyteller is,” Abrams says. “Something about the rhythm with which you talk, how you cut, how you show things — KnowMe is Snapchat but in three dimensions.” Abrams highlights how technology helped Jarecki and his documentary crew sort through hundreds of hours of interviews in months instead of years, eventually leading to a shocking series finale in which Durst is overheard saying on a live mic that he “killed them all, of course.” “Think about that ending,” Abrams says. “That audio that you hear, in the old days they would not have let a tape player record, they would have turned it off. But in the age of digital, ‘Leave it on, leave it on, leave it on.’ That ‘leave it on’ gave this documentary the greatest ending in the history of TV series. “It’s the result of what digital allows,” he says. “The key is how to harness digital to tell the most dramatic story. “That’s the ambition.”

Buying a house? Make a checklist Fix-It Chick

Linda Cottin

hen it comes to purchasing a new home, “buyer beware” are words to live by. Follow these steps to help avoid unexpected homeowner expenses: Step 1: Examine the roof for worn or missing shingles. Check to see if there are multiple layers of shingles already on the roof. Make sure the roof is not sagging and confirm that the fascia boards and soffits are free from rot. Typical roofs last 20 to 25 years. Removing multiple layers of roofing or replacing damaged wood is expensive. Step 2: Look for peeling paint and dry rot around the home’s exterior. Painting a home is not an easy task and replacing rotting windows can be costly. Step 3: Look for cracks and crevices on the inside and outside of the home’s foundation. Examine the gutters to ensure they are secure and properly angled. Check to see that the ground slopes away from the house. Improper drainage can do irreparable damage to a home’s foundation, and a home is only as strong as the foundation it is built on.

Bathroom remodels and roof repairs can be very expensive, so pay careful attention to these and many other items as you are house shopping. check the warranty date on the water heater. Galvanized or cast iron pipes, missing shut-off valves, low water pressure and slow drains can all point to costly repairs lurking ahead. Step 6: Check the electrical service panel to ensure it is up to date. Panels with screw-in fuses, old wiring or less than 100 amp service will need to be upgraded immediately.

Cottage decor is back, stripped down By Kim Cook Associated Press

s spring starts to peek around winter’s corner, there’s an array of new home decor that gives a fresh, modern vibe to the farmhouse or cottage look. Textiles, furniture, tabletop and kitchenware are maintaining their traditional, homespun roots while getting an update. It’s a look that taps what’s going on elsewhere in the culture, says Lorna Aragon, editor of Martha Stewart Living. “I think that just as with the artisanal, farm-to-table food movement, people are looking for home goods that are handcrafted and will last,” she says. “It’s nice to see the hand of the maker in items and to see that someone made them with care. The look also gives your home a sense of history and rootedness.” Combine that with the modern emphasis on simplicity and clean lines. Aragon’s especially fond of some new modern quilts, which look good as wall hangings as well as on beds. She mentions Denise Schmidt in Bridgeport, Conn., who puts her own spin on traditional quilt patterns, and Meg Callahan, who uses her Oklahoma roots as inspiration. Aragon also likes Louise Gray, some of whose designs are being carried by West Elm. The serene, stylish quilts bring the age-old craft firmly into the 21st century with crisp and spare graphics and colors. O&G Studio in Warren, R.I., crafts sleek new interpretations of traditional furniture like colonial settees and Windsor chairs. “Farmhouse style is centered on rustic woods and functional accents that foster a cozy, welcoming environment,” says Kirstin Hoffman, merchandising director for San Francisco-based Dot & Bo, a retailer that is offering some photographic prints of barns and goats on simple white

Tribal Rose, graces pillows and table runners in sunny yellow, lichen, rose gold and pink. Also at Minted is Oscar & Emma’s red and white Links lampshade, evoking a traditional quilt pattern in a modern way. Homegoods has floral-printed ceramic plates and ceramic desk accessories accented with vintage lace patterns. A settee with a distressed wood frame looks antique, but trim, linen-weave upholstery keeps it young. Vintage wine crates have been repurposed as drawers for a smart-looking storage island with hand-forged steel frame at Houzz. A rectangular, weathered-bronze pendant fixture from Quoizel, with Edison bulbs, is reminiscent of old tavern lighting, and would look hip over a modern marble or quartz island. Potter Rae Dunn of Berkeley, Calif., crafts gingham-patterned plates, and playful ramekins with farmhouse animals and tea-towel border prints. Macy’s spring decor includes a gingham bedding collection from Charter Club offered in a fresh-as-summer aqua and white.

Moss is increasingly popular in home landscaping. It can be used not only as ground cover but to add texture and interest to walkways, walls and containers, among other uses. Shutterstock Images

Moss adds character to landscape Garden Variety

Transplanting moss is as simple as taking small fragments from a patch of healthy moss and moving them to the desired location. Moss lacks true roots, so the fragments can be broken away from the healthy moss and moved without digging. Moisten fragments and the new surface before pressing the fragments into or onto their new home.

For most applications transplanting is sufficient to get moss established. Blended moss or a combination of blending and transplanting is recommended for writing or drawing on vertical surfaces. Words and shapes may take time to be discernible, but this idea certainly adds a unique touch and feature to the garden. Whether moss is transplanted, blended, or some mixture of the two, it will take several weeks to establish and should be misted or watered in the meantime. Once it is established, moss should survive without supplemental watering in the right site. The easiest place to find moss for transplanting or blending is in the garden. Look under mature trees, on bark or fallen logs, on birdbaths, on shaded patios, and in compacted areas of the lawn. Some garden centers and pet stores also have moss available for sale. For those wondering how to rid their lawn or garden of moss rather than growing it unintentionally, try modifying the site. Since moss needs moisture, alleviate drainage

Laying it on the line

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM TAKES A SELFIE with Kansas Athletics strategic-communications manager Rachel Pincus in the team locker room during a day of news conferences and interviews Friday in Des Moines, Iowa. KU will take on UConn in the Round of 32 today at Wells Fargo Arena. For more photos, visit www.kusports.com/kubball31816

Jayhawks aware of UConn’s FT prowess By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Des Moines, Iowa — There’s something No. 9 seed UConn does better than (overall) No. 1 seed Kansas University — as well as all other teams in the country. That’s shoot free throws. The Huskies (25-10) have converted a nation’s best 79.3 percent of their

charities entering today’s second-round NCAA Tournament South Regional contest against KU (31-4). Tip is approximately 6:45 p.m. in Wells Fargo Arena. The Jayhawks counter with a 70.8 percent mark, which ranks sixth in the Big 12 and No. 138 overall. UConn, which hit 22 of 23 free throws in a 74-67, firstround win over Colorado, has seven players — six

regulars — shooting better than 80 percent. KU has one player over 80, and that’s Brannen Greene, who has limited sample size (42-of50 for .840). KU’s top starter is Perry Ellis, whose .782 mark is solid, but worse than the Huskies’ entire team combined. “Honestly, that’s crazy. That’s big-time for them, actually,” said KU junior guard Greene, well aware

of UConn’s numbers. “We know if we foul like we did yesterday (in 105-79 firstround win over Austin Peay, in which the Governors made 25 of 37 free throws), we know we’ll be in for a long day.” Inquiring minds in the media sought reasons for the Huskies’ accuracy from the foul stripe during Friday’s mandatory media sessions.

ROUND TWO

Who: No. 9 seed UConn (25-10) vs. No. 1 Kansas (31-4) When: approx. 6:45 tonight Where: Des Moines, Iowa TV: CBS (WOW! Cable chs. 5, 13, Please see KANSAS, page 4D 205, 213)

“At the end of the practices, sometimes I make the guys make 11 in a row, 12 in a row,” said fourth-year UConn coach Kevin Ollie, who directed UConn to the 2014 national title “And if they do it on the first time, the coaches run. We never ran this whole season, so they didn’t make it on the first one. But that’s kind of their

By all accounts, Ollie a great guy

UCONN HEAD COACH KEVIN OLLIE DIRECTS his defense against Colorado on Thursday.

Des Moines, Iowa — Phil Martelli, Jay Wright, Fred Hoiberg, Tom Izzo, Billy Donovon, John Calipari, Tad Boyle. Today, Bill Self will attempt to do what those seven big names failed to accomplish: defeat UConn coach Kevin Ollie in an NCAA Tournament game. UConn, which won three national titles under Ollie’s mentor, Jim Calhoun, won another two years ago in Ollie’s second season as head coach, after two as an assistant to Calhoun.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ollie, 43, takes a 7-0 NCAA Tourney record into the game as well as a level of respect that fourth-year head coaches seldom attain. That doesn’t surprise former Kansas Univer-

sity athletic director Lew Perkins, impressed with Ollie since the day he met him on his recruiting trip to UConn when Perkins was AD there. “When he came to campus, you knew right away that he was going to be successful at whatever he did,” said Perkins, who plans to watch the game with family, including grandchildren, in New Orleans. “He was, still is and will always be one of the most charming individuals you ever met in your life. He’s

not a funny guy. He’s not a wise guy. He’s not any of that stuff. And when you meet him, you’re just going to say, ‘Wow, what a guy.’” That’s pretty much what those who had not been around Ollie were saying about him after his Friday news conference in Wells Fargo Arena. “He was a great player,” Perkins said. “He is a great coach and a better person. I wish both teams could win, but I know only one team Please see KEEGAN, page 5D

Thunder 111, 76ers 97 Philadelphia — Russell Westbrook recorded his league-leading 13th triple-double with 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, and Kevin Durant had 26 points and 13 boards to lead Oklahoma City past Philadelphia on Friday night. Westbrook’s 13 triple-doubles tie Grant Hill (1996-97) and Jason Kidd (2007-08) for most in a season over the last 25 years.

Oklahoma State, Ford to part ways Oklahoma City — Oklahoma State and Travis Ford have agreed to end the basketball coach’s tenure. Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder and Ford “have mutually agreed that the school and Ford will part ways,” Holder said in a statement Friday. “I like Travis Ford and his family,” Holder said. “He worked very hard at his job. Unfortunately, we have to move on.” Ford had a 155-111 record in eight years at OSU, but just one NCAA Tournament win. The team went 12-20 this season and 3-15 in the Big 12. Ford was given a contract extension in 2009 that was to run through the 2018-19 season, a deal that Holder expressed regret about last year in an interview with the Associated Press. Ford had great success as a recruiter, bringing in high-profile talent such as Marcus Smart, Markel Brown, Le’Bryan Nash and, most recently, point guard Jawun Evans. But winning just one NCAA Tournament game exasperated a fan base that was spoiled by previous success. Eddie Sutton led Oklahoma State to Final Fours in 1995 and 2004.

KU’s Miller 8th in NCAA 400 IM Atlanta — Kansas University senior Chelsie Miller took eighth place in the 400-yard individual medley Friday at the NCAA swimming and diving championships to earn first-team All-America honors. Miller swam a time of 4:07.60. Miller qualified for KU’s first NCAA finals swim since 1993, when Frankie Hanson finished seventh in the 1,650-yard freestyle. “That was my first year of coaching, and I got a chance to work with Frankie and the rest of the distance group all year,” KU coach Clark Campbell said. “When she got top eight in the mile, I thought this was cool and it must happen all the time. Since then, I’ve had coaching stints at other places, and one thing as you get older, you realize how special those championship finalists are at this meet. It’s such a fast competition, I’ll never take it for granted again. “I’m so proud of Chel-

UCONN VS. KANSAS

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Huskies: Hey, we bleed blue, too By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Des Moines, Iowa — On paper, tonight’s secondround NCAA Tournament matchup between Kansas University and UConn looks like a showdown between giants. But there are those inside the Connecticut locker room who feel that the Huskies historically have not been given the same respect as blueblood programs like Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina. “I don’t think we get the same kind of love,” UConn freshman Steven Enoch said. “But that doesn’t matter. We like being the underdog, and we want to go out and prove it because it’s always fun to prove people wrong.” Added junior guard Rodney Purvis: “We kind of don’t, but it is what it is. You can go back to whenever you want and do all the research you want, and everything is even, if not better.” The Huskies (25-10) may have a point. They have won the most national titles in the past 17 seasons — 1999, 2004, 2011 and 2014; three under former coach Jim Calhoun and one under current coach Kevin Ollie. That number also ranks sixth all-time — one spot ahead of Kansas’ three — and the Huskies entered

UCONN GUARD DANIEL HAMILTON PUSHES THE BALL up the court during the first half of the Huskies’ 74-67 victory over Colorado on Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.

CONNECTICUT PLAYERS, FROM LEFT, DANIEL HAMILTON, SHONN MILLER and Rodney Purvis talk with media members during a news conference Friday at Wells Fargo Arena. the 2015-16 season ranked 27th in all-time victories with 1,641. Kentucky was first (2,178), Kansas second (2,153), UNC third (2,140) and Duke fourth (2,062). However, much of Connecticut’s most notable success has come in recent years. Therefore, the program has not been able to sit at the same poker table when the playing cards being used feature faces belonging to James Naismith, Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Roy Williams and Coach K. But it’s not as if UConn

has been playing basketball for fewer seasons than those same powerhouse programs. In fact, UConn’s first college basketball season came in 1901, just two years after KU’s first game and before Kentucky (1903), Duke (1906) and North Carolina (1911) ever tipped off their first seasons. Therein lies the fight that the Huskies are facing. National titles are nice, and they’re a huge part of college basketball. But, unlike those other

programs, UConn has suffered through some lean seasons and even stretches during its storied century of college hoops. Take a recent example as the best proof. After winning the national title in 2014, with Ollie and point guard Shabazz Napier leading the way, the Huskies followed that up by losing in the first round of the NIT in 2015. And, even though they appear to be primed for tonight’s clash with Kansas (31-4), they entered this year’s tournament as a No. 9 seed and were a

first-round underdog to a Colorado program making just its 13th appearance in the NCAA Tournament. “You can’t do nothing about that,” Purvis said. “Just like you can’t take away the lottery picks that we have, the national championships that we have. You can’t take away the Kemba Walkers, the Shabazz Napiers, none of that. That’s what you get with UConn.” Perhaps understandably, UConn’s players tend to focus on recent history. Take senior Omar Calhoun, for example. Asked Friday if he knew much about the history of Kansas basketball, the 6-foot-

6 guard from Brooklyn offered an immediate answer. But his sound bite did not have anything to do with the game’s inventor, Wilt Chamberlain or even Danny Manning. “As kids, watching college basketball growing up, we know the history, from watching Mario Chalmers hitting big shots and stuff like that,” Calhoun said. “There’s a lot of history on both sides, so it should be a great game. “We’re gonna try to show tomorrow that UConn’s definitely one of the great teams, along with Kansas, Kentucky and those other great schools. UConn’s definitely in that mix.”

goal, and they get real, real mad when they don’t make 11 in a row. But it spurs them on, and they like it and get a kick out of it.” The Jayhawk players can see how that would work. “That’s a pretty unique thing to do. I think that kinda helps them out with their free throws. They probably concentrate on making it more, but I definitely think we could make 11 in a row if we had to watch the coaches run,” said sophomore guard Devonté Graham, a 74.7 percent free thrower who did not score, but had six assists, no turnovers in KU’s win over Austin Peay. “I agree that would be cool to do, just a motivation factor, try to knock those down just to see them do that (run),” said KU senior Ellis, who takes a 16.8 scoring average into today’s game, coming off a 21-point outing vs. the Governors. The Jayhawks, who hope to advance to Thursday’s Sweet 16 in Louisville, realize a key factor in advancing could be foul shooting.

“We have to be smart on defense, try to keep them off the line as much as possible,” Ellis said. “They are knocking those shots down. It’s obvious it’s something they have a lot of confidence in. They have great focus at the line.” Greene, who has been suffering from back spasms lately and didn’t score versus Austin Peay but had four assists and three steals in 11 minutes, acknowledged, “UConn is a great driving team, so it will be tough (to avoid fouling). We will pick up a couple tick-tack fouls. They are really good drivers, really good guards. It’s about being focused, locked in shrinking the floor, making sure they can’t drive and get in the lane so Perry doesn’t have to pick up those fouls and Landen (Lucas) doesn’t have to pick up those fouls.” Lucas, who had 16 points, eight boards and just two fouls against Peay, said, “If we get in foul trouble like yesterday, and the refs are calling it close, we have to make sure we do something to adjust. They will step up to the line and knock things down. If they can do that and control the pace of the game, that could hurt us.”

Noted junior Wayne Selden Jr.: “You can’t put them at the foul line early. We’ve got to guard, see how the refs call it then adjust.” KU coach Bill Self realizes UConn can win a game at the stripe. “Based on how we fouled yesterday, that wouldn’t bode well tomorrow for success,” Self said. “We fouled 27 times yesterday, and certainly when you foul a team that shoots like that ... we’ve got to play good defensively. We’ve got to play aggressive, but we’ve got to play with our head and our feet and keep them off the free-throw line. “Certainly we know that’s a big part of their offense because they do drive it as well as anybody probably we played against all year. West Virginia would probably be a comparable-type team to look at when you look at their perimeter players and how well they drove it, and I think UConn’s players do the same thing.” The Huskies have four players averaging between 12 and 12.7 points a game, including guards Rodney Purvis (6-foot4 junior, 12.7), Sterling Gibbs (6-2 senior, 12.0) and guard/forward Dan-

iel Hamilton (6-7 soph, 12.6). The Huskies are also strong defensively, applying some full-court pressure. UConn is fourth in the country in field-goal percentage defense (.383, to 27th-ranked KU’s .398 mark). “I think it’s different than West Virginia’s pressure. I think with West Virginia, they go trap a rebound. I think that UConn does it differently,” Self said. “But I also think that they do it soundly, too. I don’t think they give up a lot of easy baskets by their pressure. So not that West Virginia did, but it was just a totally different mind-set,” Self said. “I think UConn’s half-court defense is really good, and their stats back it up, their field goal percentage defense and everything backs it up. But they’ve got some guys, and especially Daniel Hamilton, his arms are so long and, you know, as far as seems like to me they pick somebody every game. Yesterday, you know, in that game, I don’t want to say Colorado had control but, you know, it turned on a dime when the pressure was ratcheted up. So we certainly have to be prepared for that.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PLAYERS WAIT FOR INDIANA TO LEAVE THE COURT as the Hoosiers’ scheduled practice time ends at Wells Fargo Arena, following news conferences and interviews, Friday in Des Moines, Iowa.

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks not dwelling on early exits

viously, and when you’re losing starters and things like that, after you played a certain way all year long, a lot of times you’re not the same team that you were the vast majority of the season. “And I really think that was the case with us,” he added. “Not an excuse, but it’s the reality of it. This year, I mean, knock on wood, we’ve been healthier. We’re more whole. Roles are defined. When you got a guy hurt (Perry Ellis last year) going into the tournament, roles are changed. So I think the guys are more confident the way we’ve been doing it this year in large part because we haven’t had to change midstream.”

“It’s all right. It’s doing better,” he said of his back. “I was getting (spasms) yesterday. I’ve still got ’em today, not as bad. My hip is fine. It feels great,” added the player who had offseason hip surgery. “I haven’t had trouble with my hip pretty much all year.”

the new rule that allows underclassmen to declare for the draft after the season to see if they are worthy of being invited to the NBA combine. New college rules allow players to attend the combine and one workout with an NBA team in an attempt to learn their draft status. The combine is not until May. Summer school normally starts the last week of May, meaning KU could have the futures of several players in limbo until right before summer school. “I was actually part of the talks with the NBA with that, and it’s not perfect,” Self said. “We were told it was a really good first step, to getting to an end result that would be one in which everybody, NBA and college would be more pleased. “I’m going to hold my opinion until after this year, because we may be a team that’s affected by that as much as anybody in the country. We have a lot of good players, but we don’t have the high lottery picks. The lottery picks are going to go anyway, 19 out of 20 or nine out of 10. It’s the ones that are mid-second round or maybe projected not to get drafted. We put our name in and then how do we approach it after we put our name in? “I think in theory it’s good because it gives the players and family more accurate information to make a decision based on

what they’re hearing from NBA people as opposed to what they’re hearing from people that maybe aren’t connected to the NBA, whether it be agents or whoever, or third parties. I hope it is good for our game. This is a weird year to have that be the first year because everybody is saying the draft isn’t as strong this year. “So there will be more kids that make an attempt to probably look into it and when you look — the key is it’s okay to look, but when you look, do you jeopardize your amateurism? And if kids are smart and families are smart enough to stay on campus and not jeopardize your amateurism, then I think it could be a good rule. “But if you have all these kids that apply for the draft thinking they’re going to be one in the combine or one of the 60 that are going to be drafted or whatnot and they give up their chance to come back to school (it would not be good). I hope that people use the rule to their advantage as opposed to using the rule as an opportunity to let’s investigate more with really no solid game plan, in that it’s just an investigation, and by the investigation we’ll determine what we do. I’m just nervous kids are going to eliminate the opportunity to come back if they’re not smart (and sign with agents while waiting to see if they are invited to combine).”

who played for Oklahoma State, was climbing the college-coaching ranks. Self was graduate assistant at Kansas, fulltime assistant at Oklahoma State, head coach at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois. Ollie played for 11 NBA franchises in 13 seasons. It wasn’t that coaches had to have him for his production. He averaged 3.8 points. They wanted him because he was so coachable, such a great teammate, at once a great pupil and teacher to younger players. As much moving around as Ollie did, he was bound to cross paths with Larry Brown, under whom Self learned as graduate assistant at Kansas. Ollie signed as a free agent two times (1999 and 2000) to play for Brown with the Philadelphia 76ers. “It was the world to me,” Ollie said of playing

his players. To this day, I love him to death because he taught me how to be a great man, first and foremost.” Ollie, who said he counts former Kansas guard Jacques Vaughn among his closest friends, drew praise from Self on Friday. “Seems like to me that his players really care about each other, and he has good relationships CONNECTICUT COACH KEVIN OLLIE, LEFT, AND KANSAS with his players,” Self COACH BILL SELF greet each other as they pass in a Wells said. “But not one that is Fargo Arena hallway on Friday. friendly.

during practice and during the game, and that’s just touching each other and staying connected. We really try to reach that throughout the game so they understand they need each other, and you can’t do it alone.” The true test of a team’s unity arrives when things are heading in the wrong direction during a game. UConn knows how to bounce back, as it did when coming back from a deficit Thursday against Colorado. “We really preach recovery through games,” Ollie said. “How you recover and how you respond to adversity. How you make, you know, the ashes of the game, let that become beauty.” So far, that approach has worked in March and April for Ollie, whose Huskies are seeded No. 9 and are facing the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed.

Des Moines, Iowa — Kansas University’s basketball team has not made it out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons. Obviously, the Jayhawks hope for better results this year, specifically today in a 6:45 p.m., South Regional contest against UConn in Wells Fargo Arena. Winner advances to the Sweet 16 on Thursday in Louisville. Loser’s season is over. “We know this is the game we’ve been sent home on the last couple years,” KU junior forward Landen Lucas said. “We’ll be extra focused for it, make sure we don’t take anything for granted and play hard every possession. It’s a fun game coming up against a great program historically. We’re looking forward to it. We’ll be fine.” KU coach Bill Self said losses to Wichita State and Stanford the past two years aren’t prime motivating factors. “We’re not going to run from it,” Self said. “We have lost in the second round the last two years. But certainly I’m not going to use that as motivation, dwelling on the negative. I do think that when you get to the second round, everybody is capable of beating everybody without question. But the last two years, we haven’t been whole going into the tournament, ob-

can win. I also would tell you that in my opinion, Bill Self is the best coach in the country.” Perkins also was AD at Maryland and Wichita State, and he played at Iowa, all schools that have advanced to the Round of 32. Today’s UConn-Kansas game is scheduled to tip off at 6:45 p.m. and is the only one so far in the tournament that features a coaching matchup between two of the 11 active college basketball coaches to win a national championship. The coaches took different paths to their jobs. Ollie, who grew up in gang-torn South Central Los Angeles and played at UConn, was playing in the NBA while Self, a native of Edmond, Okla.,

Friends: Selden is a good buddy of UConn freshman Jalen Adams.

My grandmother is his mother’s godmother. We’re really close. He’s like a little brother. We talked after he hit the shot (a 65-footer against Cincinnati to force a fourth overtime in UConn conference tournament win). We’ll talk after the game.”

MIDWEST ROUND OF 32

ISU’s Niang has UALR’s attention Denver (ap) — Anyone associated with Iowa State’s men’s basketball team has Philadelphia 76ers big man Nerlens Noel to thank for helping turn around the Cyclones’ program. OK, the shot-blocker went to Kentucky and never attended any classes in Ames — unlike the man who had to guard him every day at practice for two years in high school and two summers of AAU ball. “I just think it helped me learn different ways to get my shots off, use angles just to get around the defender’s hand and to do a good job of using my body,” said senior forward Georges Niang, who has Iowa State a win over scrappy ArkansasLittle Rock from its second Sweet 16 appearance in three years. “The way I play, it goes to how I played against him every day when I went to high school with him. He has a long, athletic frame and has a quick jumper. So, I think finding a way to use my body was really crucial to finishing at this level,” said Niang, Iowa State’s only two-time All-American. At 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, Niang could be called a tad undersized for a power forward and backup center. His terrific ball-handling skills and shooting touch make him a matchup nightmare for just about everyone who faces him, including the

IONA GUARD A.J. ENGLISH, AT RIGHT IN PHOTO AT LEFT, runs into Iowa State forward Georges Niang while driving for a basket in the second half of ISU’s 94-81 victory Thursday in Denver. TODAY, NIANG AND THE CYCLONES WILL FACE LIS SHOSHI, IN PHOTO ABOVE, and Arkansas Little Rock, with the winner headed to the Sweet 16.

12th-seeded Trojans (304), who play the Cyclones today. “He’s probably a topfive player in the country right now. It’s going to be a tough matchup for me and for our whole team,” said power forward Lis Shoshi. “But players like that, you’ve got to stop them as a team. You cannot go 1-on-1 with them because they’re really good.”

Niang is the only player in the country averaging 20 points and six boards while shooting 50 percent from the field and 80 percent from the line. And he’s the only current collegian who has collected 2,000 points, 700 rebounds and 400 assists in his career. His stellar game has helped put the fourthseeded Cyclones (22-11) back on the NCAA map.

“Georges is a basketball fanatic,” teammate Nazareth Mitrou-Long said. “He’s not one of those guys that just goes to the gym. He wakes up, watches film, stretches, watches more film, watches the game before, gets some light shots, warms up, then gets in some workouts. He doesn’t take this as a joke. It’s not a joke. It’s everything. It’s his life.” That work ethic rubs off on his teammates, too. “No question. To be in the huddle and to say things and for people to not say things while you’re speaking, you have to have respect from others. And he has that because he leads by example,” Mitrou-Long said.

Other things to know about this matchup: Dialed in: Trojans coach Chris Beard is trying to keep his players in the moment. Beating the Boilermakers was yesterday’s news. Hanging the Sun Belt Conference championship banner is tomorrow’s fun. “At our banquet this year we’ll probably have steak and lobster, not grilled chicken because it’s been an unbelievable year,” Beard said. “There’s a lot of things in the past and future, but right now is the precious present. “Right now is an opportunity to advance to the Sweet 16, right now is an opportunity to live to play another day.”

Role reversal: Cyclones first-year coach Steve Prohm came from Murray State, so he knows all about how mid-majors are on a roll in March. They’ve won their conference tourney to get here and didn’t rely on an at-large bid. And they’re the ones playing without the weight of expectations. He’s trying to use that knowledge as he manages the minefields of the favorites. “Both teams will be crushed if they lose, but the mid-major, you’re going out there, you’re just throwing all your punches. Whatever happens, you know, happens,” Prohm said. “Obviously at this level you’re expected to win. You’ll be beyond crushed if you didn’t get there and you didn’t max out.” Hagins hero: Little Rock’s Josh Hagins, who scored 29 of his 31 points after halftime in leading the Trojans past Purdue in double overtime, appreciates the attention but he’s not getting caught up in it. “We’re on a mission right now,” Hagins said. “It was really important for us to wake up this morning just really focused on Iowa State. Everything that happened yesterday, we appreciated it, it was a good team win. Everybody stepped up. But we’re already on to the next one.”

Spartans go down; Sooners hold on The Associated Press

Midwest Regional No. 15 Mid. Tenn. St. 90, No. 2 Michigan State 81 St. Louis — Middle Tennessee State sent the biggest shock yet through the NCAA Tournament on Friday, knocking off Michigan State in the first round. Reggie Upshaw scored 21 points to lead the balanced Blue Raiders (259), who shut down player of the year candidate Denzel Valentine. Middle Tennessee never trailed the Spartans (29-6) in one of the biggest upsets since the tournament began seeding teams in 1985. It was the eighth time a No. 2 seed lost to a No. 15 and first since Florida Gulf Coast beat Georgetown in 2013. The Eagles went on to reach the Sweet 16. The Blue Raiders will try to do the same against No. 10 seed Syracuse on Sunday. Michigan State won the Big Ten tournament title and was ranked No. 2 in the country. Even as a second seed, many picked MSU as favorite to win the East, in part because of coach Tom Izzo’s postseason history. Matt Costello matched a career-best with 22 points for the Spartans, but it wasn’t enough to offset Valentine’s miserable afternoon. The senior had 13 points and 12 assists, but he also had six turnovers — one of them coming with the Spartans trailing 79-76 and less than three minutes to go. Michigan State twice had chances to tie the game after that, but Valentine missed an open three from the top of the key, and Bryn Forbes missed another. The Blue Raiders eventually scored on back-to-back runouts to establish some breathing room, then coaxed the final few seconds off the clock. Giddy Potts added 19 points, and Darnell Harris and Perrin Buford scored 15 apiece, as the Conference USA champion Blue Raiders won their first NCAA Tournament game since 1989.
