GROWING OPTIONS

City to decide gun range location By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence City Commissioners will have the final say Tuesday on where in the city a new, private gun range will be located. Because the businessman behind the idea submitted plans for two locations, commissioners will decide whether to rezone the shooting range in what’s currently an industrially zoned building at 1021 E. 31st St., near the 31st and Haskell intersection, or let him use a backup location in The Malls shopping center at 23rd and Louisiana streets. City planners and many Lawrence residents have voiced concern about The CITY Malls location — a COMMISSION “highly active center” where the shooting range would be bounded by a yoga studio on one side and a barber shop on the other, according to city documents. But the Lawrence school board, Boys and Girls Club and the Prairie Park Neighborhood Association have argued against locating it off East 31st Street. The existing building just northwest of the 31st and Haskell intersection is adjacent to the Prairie Park neighborhood and within 1,000 feet of the Lawrence College and Career Center and the proposed site of a Boys and Girls Club teen center. “There’s an expectation we provide a safe, positive place for kids,” said Duane LaFrenz, a member of the Boys and Girls Club board of directors, in February. “If a teen center is going to be successful, there can be no doubt that this is a safe and positive environment.”

THE CITY COMMISSION WILL REVIEW NEW URBAN AGRICULTURE GUIDELINES that would allow more kinds of animals to be raised in the city, including miniature goats, sheep, rabbits and bees. Ducks and hens have been allowed since 2012.

Growing and raising your own food can be “empowering” — and vital for some households in achieving food security, said Helen Schnoes, food systems coordinator for Douglas County. And now, Lawrence residents are close to getting more options for what they can grow, what animals they can raise, and how they can distribute their homegrown goods.

School board to vote on whether to purchase 5,000 iPads By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence school board will vote at its meeting today whether to approve a school district proposal to purchase 5,000 iPads. Board members were not convinced

iPads were preferable to laptops when the proposal was introduced at their meeting last month. “I do think board members want some more specific information about why that’s the right choice, and some comparisons for why that’s

a better choice than options that other districts have had success with,” school board President Vanessa Sanburn said following the meeting. The iPads would be acquired through a leasepurchase agreement with Apple that totals about

The iPads are significantly less expensive than laptops. The agreement with Apple includes an educational discount, and the district is getting the iPads for $498 each. By contrast, the 500 MacBook Air computers in the district’s agreement are $764 each.

The proposal is a joint effort between the district’s educational programs and technology department, headed by Assistant Superintendent Jerri Kemble, and the teaching and learning department, headed by Assistant Superintendent Angelique Nedved. The proposal explains why the iPads are the best device for middle school students. “The device most

survey. Originally, the Lawrence district’s discussion on device purchases included a 1-to-1 rollout for the high school level as well, but district officials said more consideration is needed to determine which devices — iPads or laptops — are best for those students. Almost all high school students have a digital textbook for at least one subject, and the device checkout programs at the high school level have maintained waiting lists all year. Though some of the new MacBook Airs will go toward expanding the high schools’ checkout programs, ensuring a 1-to-1 ratio has been postponed another year. One of the concerns voiced last month by board members in purchasing a tablet such as

‘So simple it’s complicated’

BOB HURST, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE STUDIES in Kansas University’s department of film and media studies, will premiere his new documentary about Headquarters Counseling Center at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Liberty Hall.

he Kansas House and Senate will face a veritable mountain of bills that are up for debate and final action as they try to wind down the 2016 regular session. But almost none of them deal directly with the two biggest issues confronting the state: a budget crisis that is only growing worse by the day, and a Supreme Court ruling on school finance that threatens to shut down the state’s public school system on July 1 if lawmakers fail to act appropriately. Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, alluded to the continuing budget problems during remarks

KU professor’s documentary ‘Listeners’ to showcase Headquarters volunteers By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A listener can make all the difference in the world. At Headquarters Counseling Center, volunteers speak on the phone daily, even hourly, with callers considering suicide or with those who have already hurt themselves, said former volunteer Kristine Chapman. But before volunteers are allowed on the phone in what is often a life-or-death situation, they must learn to listen. “It’s such a fundamental thing that’s overlooked, being able to really listen to people regardless of what they’re talking about,” Chapman said. “It’s so simple it’s complicated.” Chapman said she began volunteering at Headquarters in 2008, and from 2009 through 2013 she was director of volunteers.

In the fall of 2013, filmmaker Bob Hurst was there to capture one of Chapman’s training classes, following just more than a dozen men and women as they completed 100-plus hours of training in an 11-week period. On Tuesday, Hurst, who teaches in Kansas University’s department of film and media studies, will premiere his new documentary, “The Listeners,” at Liberty Hall. The premiere will also serve as a fundraiser for Headquarters, Hurst said. Each year, Headquarters fields approximately 25,000 calls seeking help from around the country. Not every caller is suicidal; drug use, depression and infidelity are also common topics. The organization also operates a children’s line, offering kids a safe way to speak to adults, Chapman said.

The documentary’s title pays homage to the volunteers on the phone working to help a perfect stranger through what is often the most difficult day of his or her life, Hurst said. With more than 150 hours of footage, Hurst said he only recently put the final touches on the film. “I’ve been picking at things for the last couple of weeks,” he said.

GOP worries state can’t hit fairness target for school aid By John 0 Associated Press

Topeka (ap) — Republican lawmakers assert that they may never be able to meet the Kansas Supreme Court’s demands for fairness in education funding and will see a chaotic budget process every year as they reshuffle dollars among local school districts. The high court said last month that Kansas has not given poor districts their fair share and schools must shut down in July unless lawmakers fix the problem. In response, the Senate could debate a bill Monday looking at redistributing part of the state’s annual aid to its 286 school districts. Republicans debating the measure in committee said they found it galling

In all, however, Hurst estimates the documentary cost far more than that. “I mean, if you include in-kind hours, there’s probably $200,000 of time and investment,” he said. “Basically I’ve been working for free on this thing for years. But I teach at KU and I’m fortunate that basically part of my job description is

that the court rejected key parts of a law enacted last year that junked the state’s previous per-pupil distribution formula in favor of “block grants” meant to largely freeze spending. Predictable allocations for school districts give the state a stable target as it struggles to balance its budget. The court’s decision, Republicans say, pushes Kansas in the opposite direction — and potentially into new legal challenges every year. “You would never be done with that,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, Andover Republican who wrote the plan. The state spends more than $4 billion a year on public schools. The Senate’s bill would redistribute about $38 million of that money during the to make films and not to worry about getting paid.” Getting paid wasn’t Kortney Rist’s goal when she volunteered at Headquarters, either. Rist, who is featured in Hurst’s documentary, said she began volunteering at Headquarters during her sophomore year at KU and the experience changed her. As a psychology student, Rist said her experience at Headquarters was “invaluable.” She recalled transitioning from role play training calls to actually staffing the phones. “I remember going

2016-17 school year, cutting funding for 186 districts to increase it for 100 others. In the House, Republicans were so critical of a milder version that a committee chairman dropped it. The Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kan., districts have pursued the fair-funding lawsuit since 2010. Their attorneys believe legislators need to provide another $163 million to schools to meet the court’s demands — and have asked the justices to say so immediately. Democratic legislators and school superintendents have argued that Kansas would fulfill its constitutional duty to finance a suitable education for every child if lawmakers would cough up more money. into my first actual shift and I was shaking,” she said. “On a role play if it goes badly, they talk you through it. If it goes badly on the phone, you really don’t know what’s going to happen. Someone could take their own life, and that’s terrifying. “That was the hardest pill for me to swallow, that you don’t really have control over this,” she added. “The person calling on the phone really needs you, and at the end of the day you do the best you can.” Hurst said he missed the deadline to show his documentary at several

“I also don’t think a ‘one size fits all, forever’ solution will work,” said John Robb, a Newton attorney representing the four districts. “It doesn’t in all aspects of life.” Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and his allies saw the state’s previous per-pupil formula as deeply flawed, but many educators liked how it automatically adjusted a district’s aid if it gained students or special needs increased. Local school districts impose their own property taxes to supplement their state funds, and under the previous formula, the state gave extra money to poor districts so that they could keep up with their wealthier cousins. The school funding law enacted last year folded those extra dollars into the districts’ grants, which were largely

expected, analysts have said, Kansas could face a profound fiscal crisis in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. But by that time, lawmakers already will have adjourned the 2016 session, leaving the governor alone to deal with the problem. And depending on how serious the problem is on July 1, the governor’s first option may just be to call lawmakers back into special session. Meanwhile, there is still the school finance issue to worry about. Recall that in February, the Kansas Supreme Court issued a not-sosubtle threat to close the schoolhouse doors on July 1 if lawmakers do not address the equity issues in the current school funding plan the court said were unconstitutional. As the Journal-World has been reporting, two bills emerged in the Legislature last week — one in each chamber — that would have restored, and fully funded, the old formula for providing “equalization aid” to local school districts. That was one of the options the court gave the Legislature to resolve the issue. Bear in mind, this involves only about $38 million out of a $4 billion K-12 education budget. And none of that is actual new spending for schools. Rather, it’s property tax relief for those districts, including Lawrence, that the

court said were being unfairly over-taxed after the changes to school finance that lawmakers enacted last year. But there is so much animosity among conservative Republican lawmakers that the House bill died in the Appropriations Committee. The Senate Ways and Means Committee had more luck getting its bill out and sending it to the full Senate for consideration. But it takes the $38 million price tag directly out of base state aid for school districts, effectively cutting every district’s spending authority by about 1.5 percent. Even if that bill were to pass the full Senate, which cannot be assumed, it would still face an uphill battle in the House because a) it cuts overall spending authority for districts, which is certain to be unpopular among constituents during an election year; and b) it’s still predicated on restoring the old equalization formula that GOP conservatives say they don’t like. With all that in the background, lawmakers will plow through their pile of bills, mostly on other subjects, this week, with the hope of adjourning the regular session by Thursday. That would enable them to get home in time for Good Friday and the rest of the Easter weekend. From there, they will be

“There was a lot of back-and-forth about what you could and couldn’t do, and our code is pretty silent,” Miller said. “I think that’s why they wanted us to have clear standards.” After nearly a year of creating and revising the amendments to city code, they passed the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission on Feb. 22. They’ll go to the City Commission for a final determination in early April.

Changes Miller worked with the Douglas County Food Policy Council in drafting the changes, which include provisions for growing and harvesting crops and keeping small animals. Both the food policy council and the city used surveys to find out what should be allowed. “There were a lot of people, they just had a lot of interests,” Miller said. “Some people wanted to raise crickets, crawdads and fish. Some people wanted small horses, but that seemed a stretch. I did find several cities that had miniature goats; only a few have miniature sheep.” Around the same time the city was looking to add agriculture uses,

Tuesday will be the second instance the City Commission will see the gun range proposal for 31st and Haskell streets. It first came to the commission in January, with the recommendation from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission that it be denied. But Rick Sells, who’s establishing the shooting range, told commissioners at that meeting that if the 31st and Haskell location were denied, he’d pursue another site at The Malls. That site, because it’s already zoned to allow for a shooting range, would not require Sells to get approval from the planning or city commissions. After hearing about the other site, commissioners Matthew Herbert and Lisa Larsen said they intended to approve the 31st and Haskell proposal. But when Commissioner Stuart Boley and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said they’d vote it down and Mayor Mike Amyx said he was unsure, the majority of the group decided to send it back to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission for a comparative analysis of the sites. Before the planning commission heard it for a second time Feb. 22, The Malls site was administratively approved by the city. After an hours-long discussion at the Feb. 22 meeting, planning commissioners voted 8-0 to express their preference that the range be located at 1021 E. Haskell Ave. Two commissioners abstained. They also voted to recommend rezoning 1021 E. 31st St. to allow for the gun range. The vote was 5-2-3, with three commissioners abstaining. The planning commission’s initial decision to deny the rezoning, which was made in November, went against city planners’ suggestion and came after the Lawrence school board expressed its opposition. It was discussed whether a shooting range at 1021 E. 31st St. would be a violation of the Gun Free School Zones Act, which prohibits firearms on public property within

LAWRENCE a group of people had formed to lobby for beekeeping within city limits. The current city code says nothing about beekeeping. Because of that, those asking if they could have colonies in Lawrence have been told it’s not allowed, Miller said. Emily Ryan, a Lawrence resident who was part of the beekeeping movement, said the group decided to try to wrap beekeeping into the newly permitted uses. “We are, in the world, facing a huge problem with the loss of pollinators,” Ryan said. “So I think doing every little bit we can to encourage people to understand that bees are essential to our ecosystem and production of all food is a good thing. And then let people take a step further and be part of the process.” Besides bee colonies, the proposed changes allow for “bee hotels.” Bee hotels are places for solitary pollinators to make their nests, similar to how birds use birdhouses, Miller said.

Concerns Through the process of working on the changes, there has been some concern about how neighbors would react to agricultural operations within the city. The changes would allow for animal slaughter and the sale of homegrown goods at Lawrence

1,000 feet of a school. It was determined that the law would not apply because the shooting range is private property. City commissioners will need a simple majority of 3-2 to either approve or deny the rezoning request Tuesday. Commissioners will not be asked later to vote on a site plan for the site because that requires only administrative approval, said Scott McCullough, city planning director. The commission meets at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E.

Under the original plan, the garage was supposed to be automated, but developers have been working to devise a new parking strategy when the manufacturer of the automated garage filed for bankruptcy in October. City Commissioners voted Jan. 26 to defer a vote on the valet garage after voicing concerns about the feasibility of a valet garage. HERE developers responded to those

residences — both things the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission questioned. In a Lawrence Listens survey on the issue, some responded by saying animal slaughter would be too difficult to regulate. More rules about slaughtering and butchering animals were added, including that animals may only be butchered for personal use, and it has to be done outside of public view. There was also the concern among some planning commissioners that allowing people to sell goods at their residences may clog residential streets. But it was decided to “give it a try” and see whether parking became an issue, Miller said. “We don’t want to be imposing an undue nuisance on neighbors,” Schnoes said. Schnoes went on to say the changes were “amenable to a neighborhood environment.”

Education Moon on the Meadow Farm, a 3-acre plot that includes Jill Elmers’ home and growing operation, lies just within city limits off East 11th Street — meaning it has to follow city rules. The property, which Elmers uses to make her living, would officially be recognized by the city as an urban farm under the

concerns earlier this month, when they provided the city with studies proving a valet parking garage would work — though it would allow for fewer parking spaces than an automated garage. City planners are suggesting the revised development plan be approved with several conditions, the first being that developers can’t fill all 624 bedrooms. Thirty-two bedrooms and the development’s retail and restaurant space must remain empty until developers secure more parking. Other conditions include: following a parking operation plan that states valets will man the garage all day, every day, and providing a monthly report to the city each month during the first year about the garage’s use.

proposed changes. Urban farms — as opposed to those following the new urban agriculture guidelines — would require special-use permits. They’re only allowed in some residential zoning, while urban agriculture is allowed in all residential zoning where space allows. The designation doesn’t create much change for Elmers, but as a local grower and a member of the food policy council, she’s supporting the effort to pass the new rules. “I feel like a lot of my conversations at market now focus on helping people grow things, not questions about what they’re buying,” Elmers said. “Which is fine, I love that people are growing their own food. That’s fantastic. “This is intended not to limit people, but to give them more range of what they could do in the city.” If the amendments are approved, the food policy council will do outreach to teach people what they’re allowed to do, Schnoes said. “We’ll have training on how to be successful at urban agriculture endeavors,” Schnoes said. “We’re all on board and excited to see where the creativity of Lawrence residents takes this.”

Wedding guest list spat spurs second thoughts Dear Annie: I have been dating ‘’Brad’’ for three years. We currently date longdistance, but the relationship is fine. He is loving and kind toward me and everyone in our lives. When he proposed, I said yes immediately. But what is supposed to be an exciting time in my life is now marred by his ex-girlfriend, ‘’Marsha.’’ I knew Marsha when she and Brad dated 10 years ago. For some reason, she disliked me, even treating me rudely when she and Brad were invited to parties at my place with my then-boyfriend. Brad confided that Marsha didn’t like any of the women he was friends with, saying they were ‘’petty.’’ Marsha is now married, but she and Brad

Star cast on ‘Dancing’ gets dimmer So many has-beens, so little time. “Dancing With the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) has a thing for former child and teen stars. “Full House” and “Fuller House” regular Jodie Sweetin joins the ranks. She’s not the first of the “Stars” from those series to hoof it here. Candace Cameron Bure appeared on the 18th season and placed third. Kim Fields of “The Facts of Life” also reflects this show’s fetish for juvenile sensations. Mischa Barton of “The O.C.” competes as well. Geraldo Rivera has been pushing the boundaries of public vulgarity since the mid1970s. He’s rather overdue for this particular purgatory. Will he flame out early and awkwardly like Tucker Carlson, or sweat his way into the audience’s heart? Past “Dancing” fans made emotional favorites of John O’Hurley and Kirstie Alley. Speaking of long-running vulgarians, at least two of the current “Dancing” crop have links to the Sage of Mar-a-Lago, the reality star now running for president. Marla Maples was his notorious second wife, cast in the media as a “Georgia Peach,” his tabloid temptress, the forbidden fruit for whom he abandoned and publicly humiliated the mother of his children. Onetime Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie also appears. Post-college, Flutie played for the New York Generals, a team owned by a certain orange-faced casino operator who associated his personal brand with the fledgling United States Football League. However, the league, like so many of his ventures, capsized in a sea of debt and acrimony. Flutie is joined by football stars Antonio Brown and Von Miller. The cast also includes model Nyle DiMarco and Ultimate Fighting star Paige VanZant. Do you remember Boyz II Men? Wanya Morris certainly hopes so. ABC promotes “Good Morning America” by trotting out its morning meteorologist Ginger Zee.

Risky move? Allowing a new development to open while a parking shortage still is being addressed seems like a risky proposition.

awrence city commissioners should be wary of allowing the large HERE @ Kansas apartment and retail project east of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium to open based on a plan that partially addresses parking issues at the site. The developers of the project have run into problems because the contractor they had counted on to install a robotic parking system went bankrupt. The space that had been allowed for the robotic system wouldn’t accommodate as many traditional parking spaces, leaving the project short of the parking requirements set by the city. Now, HERE officials are floating different options for solving the parking dilemma. When they last came before the City Commission, the developers were planning to build a parking facility on neighboring property but they now have abandoned that plan. The proposal now before the commission is to provide 510 spaces in the building’s garage, 77 fewer than with the robotic system in the city-approved plan, and supplement that with 108 onstreet parking spaces. The on-street, metered spaces originally were intended to serve retail and restaurant customers, but those business spaces would remain vacant until the parking issues are resolved. Based on those numbers, the developers are asking the city to allow them to lease all but 32 bedrooms of the 624-bedroom apartment building. The city’s planning staff is recommending approval of this plan. The staff report indicates that, with a valet parking system, the garage can adequately accommodate the 510 spaces, and the city intends to withhold electrical meters for the apartments that must remain vacant. Despite the staff’s recommendation, many questions about this project remain. First, HERE presumably plans to adhere to its plans to lease parking spaces in the garage separately from apartments, meaning that residents with cars won’t necessarily have reserved parking. Either because of the cost or the inconvenience of the valet parking, they may opt out of paying for a parking space and rely on parking in the already crowded Oread neighborhood. The metered on-street parking spaces are suitable for retail and restaurant customers, but don’t serve the needs of most apartment residents. They also won’t be reserved for apartment residents, which makes it an iffy proposition to include them in the developers’ calculation. Some of the developers’ assumptions about the use of the garage also are questionable, including their estimate that only 20 percent of the cars in the garage will be used each day. They also think they will have enough spaces in the garage to accommodate guests, but it’s unclear how they can guarantee that space. These and other issues need to be addressed sooner rather than later. How can the developers guarantee that most of their residents with cars will use their parking facilities and not further crowd neighborhood parking? How long will the retail and restaurant space that was supposed to be a key attraction for this project remain empty while the developers figure out the parking issues? Once the project is open and mostly leased, city officials will have far less leverage over the final resolution of the parking plan. The HERE developers obviously face a difficult problem, but the solutions they are proposing don’t fully address the city’s concerns. The city certainly has a stake in this project being successful, but allowing so much of the complex to open while developers still are working on the parking issues seems like a big risk. LAWRENCE

Protectionist swing would hurt U.S. Washington — Of the many dangerous trends in the 2016 election, the revolt against free trade that has captured both parties could do the most long-term damage. That’s because protectionism would undermine future growth of the U.S. economy and subvert America’s role as global leader. Globalization has undeniably hurt some American workers and cost some manufacturing jobs. But there’s strong evidence that trade has benefited the U.S. economy and created whole new industries in which America is dominant. That’s the essence of the “creative destruction” that makes a market economy so potent: It relentlessly pushes innovation and change. Rather than shooting at trade agreements with a blunderbuss, as both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have done (dragging their rivals along with them), candidates should be talking about how to protect the workers who are harmed by foreign competition. The debate should focus on trade-adjustment assistance, job training and better education at all levels. President Bill Clinton two decades ago spoke about “building a bridge to the 21st century” for all Americans. That’s still the issue. The free trade argument feels like a rerun of what I covered in my first reporting

“

Rather than shooting at trade agreements with a blunderbuss, as both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have done … candidates should be talking about how to protect the workers who are harmed by foreign competition.” job in Pittsburgh in the late 1970s, when foreign competition began to challenge the steel industry. Management and labor joined forces to plead for protection, arguing that lower-cost foreign steel was being “dumped” in the United States by the Japanese and others. But that argument wasn’t true. Japanese mills had lower costs because they had innovated — building new, super-efficient blast furnaces and rolling mills while the American industry slumbered. If the protectionists had won back then, they

would, in effect, have imposed a tax on all American consumers to support bad management and high costs in the steel business. The protectionists failed, and the steel industry collapsed. People suffered in the transition: The population of Allegheny County got smaller, older and poorer from 1980 to 1995, as steel jobs vanished and workers moved or retired, according to the University of Pittsburgh’s University Center for Social and Urban Research. The region’s real median household incomes were also stagnant or declining. But over time, the disruptive whirlwind of change created new jobs and greater incomes, thanks to dynamic new businesses that spun up around the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Carnegie Mellon University. The bipartisan protectionism of Trump and Sanders has focused its attacks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal the Obama administration negotiated with 11 other countries. Economists who have studied the TPP carefully argue that this assault is badly misplaced. Even economists who think free trade has harmed U.S. manufacturing see benefits in the TPP. David Autor, David Dorn and Gordon Hanson argued last year that although import competi-

tion helped produce a “momentous decline” in U.S. manufacturing, “We believe blocking the TPP on fears of globalization would be a mistake.” They note that the pact would promote trade in knowledge industries where the U.S. has a big advantage, and that “killing the TPP would do little to bring factory work back to America.” Trump, the businessman, seems weirdly out of touch with real economic trends. He speaks of Japan as if it were an economic powerhouse, when it has actually suffered a two-decades-long slump; he describes a surging China, when the numbers show its growth is sagging. Trump is a real estate guy and hotelkeeper. So maybe he doesn’t realize that because of low energy costs and high productivity, the U.S. is “seeing ... evidence of an American manufacturing renaissance,” according to the Boston Consulting Group. The number of U.S. executives who plan to add production capacity at home has increased by about 250 percent since 2012, according to BCG. Trump and Sanders are swinging a wrecking ball on trade. The right answer is to help the workers who are being hurt as the economy evolves, not to shut down the global trading system. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 21, 1916: “The uncertainty of eggs, both years in price and quality, ago has long been a subject IN 1916 treated both seriously and lightly. Floyd Weaver viewed the problem from its serious side when he was arrested last night charged with stealing twelve dozen eggs from the Woodward livery barn on Vermont street. … He was fined $15.50 by the police judge. This made the price of the eggs better than ten cents apiece for Weaver…” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Yazidi woman shares story of horror Dohuk, Iraq — This week I met a young Yazidi woman who escaped after a year’s captivity as a slave of the Islamic State. Haifa’s horrifying story reminds me of the misguided debate in Washington over whether to label the effort to destroy the Yazidis (and other Iraqi minorities) a genocide, which Secretary of State John Kerry did on Thursday. By itself this label is of little value to Haifa or to the 2,500 or so other female Yazidi escapees (never mind the thousands who remain enslaved). These traumatized women have become a symbol of the jihadis’ depravity, of why the Islamic State must be rooted out of the region. But Yazidi survivors need concrete assistance, not just labels or flowery words. I met Haifa (not her real name) through an extraordinary nongovernmental organization called Yazda, which provides services to displaced Yazidis. More than 900 female survivors have contacted the group looking for help. Sitting with arms crossed, wearing a long mauve skirt and sweater and a brown head scarf that set off a lovely, troubled face, 24-year-old Haifa kept wringing her hands as her story poured out. On Aug. 3, 2014, 25 jihadis in trucks surrounded her village and demanded that the families come out and turn over their gold, phones and money. The Islamic State had attacked all the major cities, villages, and towns belonging to the Yazidi religious minor-

ity, ethnic Kurds whose heartland sits in northern Iraq. Around 50,000 fled to the mountains, where they were ultimately rescued, with the help of U.S. air strikes. But around 5,000 men were slaughtered and 5,000 women and children taken captive. The jihadis were out to destroy a religious group whose esoteric faith they denounce. In Haifa’s village, most of the men were taken away, while the women were shoved into trucks to begin a horrifying odyssey. (Luckily, her husband was away working.) A black-clad, bearded jihadi held a gun to her head and told her to convert. Terrified for her 5-month-old daughter and 2 1/2-year-old son, she — and the other women — agreed. It made no difference. They were held in another village for two days and a night without food or water.

After another mass move, the jihadis took the older women away and seized all children age 3 and above, including her sister-in-law’s three boys, ages 6, 8, and 11. Their captors said the boys would be trained to be fighters and suicide bombers. I don’t want to think of what became of the little girls. Soon, hundreds of families were herded into trucks used to transport sheep and taken to a wedding banquet hall in Mosul. She took a breath and paused. “They told the men that they were going to kill them and take their wives. And they yanked the earrings from my daughter’s ears.” Soon after, the remaining men, including her two brothers-inlaw, were bound and blindfolded and taken away. She never saw them again. For the next several months, the women were moved constantly. At one point, Haifa recalled, around 400 women and kids were crammed into a locked refrigerated truck for 1 1/2 days with no water, food or bathroom. But the jihadis finally figured out how to make a profit from their female captives, registering them by name, date of birth and number of children. “Then they took us to a market for selling,” she said. “Daesh sat in a circle. The women had to walk around, and they read off each woman’s information to people who came to buy.” Although Haifa never discussed the details — and I didn’t press her — the wom-

en slaves are raped over and over, and are often resold when their owners tire of them. Girls as young as 11 are sold into this hell. The first to purchase her was a Saudi who threatened to take away her son. “My son was crying and kissing the man’s feet and saying, ‘No, she is my mom.’” One month later, she was sold to a Syrian, who gave her bloody knives to wash, which she worried meant that he was beheading captives. Her third owner, another Syrian, kept her and her children locked in a room in an Islamic Statecontrolled village near Aleppo. Her son found a small knife under a table and she broke the lock. Dressed in enveloping black, she fled to the street and knocked on a nearby door in desperation. By sheer chance, the person who answered was willing, for a price, to contact smugglers. Haifa was finally smuggled back into Iraq via Turkey. But her in-laws have no funds to ransom her sister-in-law, nor can her parents afford a ransom for her sister. Her whole family has lost everything and lives in a refugee camp. So yes, Yazidis are victims of genocide, but the label is a sham unless accompanied by concrete programs to help the victims. I will lay out my ideas of how to help these women, and which organizations are doing so, in another column coming soon. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

and Monday, Aug. 21, with one caller coming from Spain, The Kansas City Star reported. “The eclipse community has been salivating over this one for 20 years,” said Dan McGlaun of Indiana, who runs the eclipse2017.org website. “You don’t have to go to Mongolia. And if you live in Kansas City (especially north of the Missouri River) you could potentially watch it in your jammies from your deck.” The last time the Kansas City area saw a total eclipse this close was in 1806 and the next time will be 2205.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The “Great American Eclipse” — a total eclipse of the sun — is expected to draw thousands of people to northwest Missouri when it darkens the skies in August 2017. Experts say the path of the eclipse will give St. Joseph the best view in the state, going dark for more than two minutes. Eclipse enthusiasts are already making plans. Isobel McGowan, owner of Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens in St. Joseph, said her bed and breakfast is already sold out for Sunday, Aug. 20

The “path of totality” will clip northeast Kansas and cut across Missouri, bisecting both Kansas City and the St. Louis area. During the eclipse, St. Joseph will go dark for 2 minutes and 38 seconds, one of the longest times in the nation. Nearby Plattsburg, Lathrop and Lawson will get 8 seconds less. The longest viewing time in the country is 2 minutes, 41 seconds, just south of Carbondale, Ill. Most of the Kansas City area will see a 99.9 percent eclipse; Johnson County will get a 99.4 percent eclipse.

HISTORIC VISIT TO CUBA A KEY TEST

“For us, it’s very important that we do this so President Obama knows that there are women here fighting for the liberty of political prisoners.” Berta Soler, Ladies in White founding member

Obama hopes engagement will be a game changer Gregory Korte USA TODAY

It’s a key tenet of what might be called the Obama Doctrine: That engaging with isolated authoritarian regimes can bring about greater prosperity, peace, democracy and human rights. It’s been credited with initial success in Myanmar (also known as Burma), widely viewed as a failure in China and met with controversy in Iran. Now that doctrine faces a key test in Cuba, where Obama landed Sunday for a three-day visit that NEWS will upend decades ANALYSIS of history and could fundamentally transform life on the island. Obama’s visit will focus on rebuilding commercial ties between the U.S. and Cuba but also draw a harder line on human rights abuses by the Castro government. Just hours before his arrival, Cuban authorities arrested more than 50 human rights activists at a weekly protest outside Havana. Obama visited the newly reopened U.S. Embassy on Sunday and will meet one-on-one with Cuban President Raúl Castro on Monday. Tuesday he will meet with dissidents and attend a baseball game. “Having a U.S. Embassy means we’re more effectively able to advance our values, our interests and understand more effectively” the Cuban people’s concerns, Obama said. “This is a historic visit and a historic opportunity.” Obama’s point man on Cuba, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, articulated the strategy on Cuba this way: “We believe that by opening up space — opening up space for exchange, dialogue, connectivity, commercial opening, entrepreneurship, exchanges with civil society — that will help empower the Cuban people to live better lives ... to continue to build a future of greater opportunity.” Obama brings to Havana a variety of diplomatic tools: 11 American CEOs eager to make deals in a newly emerging market; the possibility of further lifting of decades-old restrictions on trade and travel; and even a shared love of baseball. In some ways, the president is swimming against more than six decades of history. The complicated relationship with the U.S. HAVANA

HAVANA Just hours before President Obama landed Sunday in Cuba for his historic visit to the communist island, Cuban authorities arrested more than 50 dissidents who were marching to demand improved human rights. Members of the group, known as the Ladies in White, are used to the routine. They march each Sunday after Mass at a church in a suburb of Havana called Miramar and usually get arrested and detained for hours or days. Some in the group thought Cuban authorities would back off this Sunday out of respect for Obama’s visit. Berta Soler, one of the founding members who has been marching since 2003, said while walking to the church Sunday morning that maybe they would be allowed to protest without getting arrested. “Everything looks good so far,” she said. Despite dozens of international reporters in town for Obama’s trip, the group was quickly rounded up. “For us, it’s very important that we do this so President Obama

knows that there are women here fighting for the liberty of political prisoners,” Soler said before being arrested. “And he needs to know that we are here being repressed simply for exercising our right to express ourselves and manifest in a non-violent way.” Obama’s three-day trip to Cuba is to highlight the new relationship between the Cold War foes. After more than five decades of political and economic isolation, the two nations announced in December 2014 that they would re-establish diplomatic relations. Embassies have since reopened in Havana and Washington, U.S.

Blame owners, not builders, for the housing crunch Study says price gap shutting out buyers Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Gridlock in the housing market that’s slowing first-time home purchases and trade-ups to better units is the chief reason for a persistent housing shortage, according to a new study. The report by online real estate site Trulia casts doubt on the widespread belief that a scarcity of new construction is the main

cause of a crunch that has driven up home prices and slowed sales. Instead, the study says, a yawning price gap between midlevel and premium homes that’s shutting out many move-up buyers is the biggest obstacle. Also, a large share of entry-level homes are off the market because they’re owned by investors or “underwater” homeowners who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, so they effectively can’t sell, the study says. “Gridlock in the mid- to lowend of the housing market is one of the main reasons for the low

Housing market gridlock is slowing first-time home purchases.

inventory,” says Ralph McLaughlin, Trulia’s chief economist and author of the study. In January, there was a fourmonth supply of existing homes

for sale in the U.S. well below a healthy six-month inventory, according to the National Association of Realtors. That drove up the median home price by 8.2% the past year, the biggest jump since last April. Lawrence Yun, the Realtor group’s chief economist, says the main reason for the skimpy supply is sluggish single-family housing starts, which hit an eight-year high of 715,000 last year but was below a normal 1.2 million. McLaughlin disagrees. The study says the answer instead can be found mostly in the makeup of the existing home

market. For example, the median list price of a premium home across the U.S. is $542,805, compared with $267,845 for a midpriced home. That gap is 17.3% higher than it was in 2012 and is keeping many midpriced homeowners from trading up, McLaughlin says. McLaughlin partly blames a wealth gap that has seen the incomes of the top third of U.S. households climb more dramatically than those in the middle. And the supply of starter homes is limited because many investors snatched those up when prices hit bottom in 2011.

Turkey and terror: A nation on edge Donatella Lorch

Special for USA TODAY

ANKARA , TURKEY

For the past week, I’ve felt the anxiety. A dull, gnawing tension is palpable while driving or walking in Turkey’s capital, where armed police, some wearing black ski masks and heavy body armor with automatic weapons, set up roadblocks to pull over and search cars and passengers. Security has been the main topic in local newspapers, on Twitter and Facebook and in countless warnings from embassies shared from friend to friend in a virtual conga line across neighborhoods and even cities. A week ago, a suicide bombing in central Ankara killed 37 people and injured more than 170. This weekend another suicide bomb in Istanbul’s most wellknown neighborhood killed five, including the bomber. On Sunday, the Istanbul governor’s office postponed a soccer match because of an unspecified threat. “There are lots of rumors everywhere,” said Pinar Aydin, 25, a computer programmer who lives near the site of Ankara’s recent bomb blast. “Don’t take buses, stay away from embassies and military places. But I have to take the bus to work. People next to me talk all the time about the next attack.” There is a surreal aspect to living in a city where you are told to expect bomb attacks. This past weekend, in particular, Turkish security as well as em-

A man places an olive branch at the scene of a suicide attack explosion in Istanbul on Istiklal Street on Sunday. Five people died, including the suicide bomber. bassies and United Nations missions here warned that violence from terrorists could escalate to coincide with Sunday’s start of Nowruz, the Kurdish and Persian New Year. In Turkey, Nowruz is associated with the recognition of Kurdish identity and resistance. In this region of complex geopolitics, tension is at a breaking point between Kurdish groups in Turkey and the government. A 2-year-old cease-fire between Turkey and the outlawed Kurdish Worker’s Party (PKK) broke down last summer. Since then in

Turkey’s southeast, more than 340 members of Turkey’s security forces have been killed, along with 300 PKK fighters and more than 200 civilians. The military recently began a new offensive against several Kurdish towns. Tension ramped up just before the weekend when the German Embassy and German school in Ankara, plus its consulate and school in Istanbul, announced they were closing because of the threat of an attack. Soon after, the German Embassy began a voluntary evacuation of its nationals. Sat-

urday’s suicide bombing on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street was not far from the German Consulate. Rumors swirled like windwhipped brush fires. Some Turkish schools closed and canceled all weekend activities. Ankara is a government city with ministries and embassies spread up and down its many steep hills. I am used to the prominent police presence and, like London, this is a city with ubiquitous closed-circuit security cameras. These cameras have helped identify the suicide bombers in the October blast

that killed more than 100, the February blast that killed 29 and the most recent suicide bombing, by a 24-year-old Kurdish woman, on March 13. A terror group linked to the PKK, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks, claimed responsibility for both the February and March attacks in Ankara. The group said the attacks were revenge for the government military operations in the southeast. Even the many parks now flush with blooming white and pink cherry trees are being patrolled by security personnel. Though the U.S. Embassy said there were no specific threats, the alert level at Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, which has a large U.S. military presence, was recently raised to its highest level. The American school on the military base in Adana is temporarily closed, and Americans there are for the moment on lockdown in their homes. Last week, as I drove on the highway that connects Ankara to its eastern borders with Iraq and Syria, cars and trucks were being pulled over at heavily armed police checkpoints. In Ankara, a city beset by a lingering fear, many people stayed close to home this weekend. Meltem Cubukcu, said her daughters, ages 10 and 14, are so shaken that they were staying home from school. “My oldest daughter is a teenager,” Cubukcu said. “Sometimes she doesn’t answer her phone. I don’t want her to be away from me. I am so scared.” Lorch, a former New York Times foreign correspondent, is a writer based in Ankara.

Obama may meet with dissidents v CONTINUED FROM 1B

President Obama, first lady Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia arrive at Jose Marti International Airport in Havana on Sunday. They are in Cuba for a three-day visit.

Critics: Don’t trust regime v CONTINUED FROM 1B

precedes the Cold War, and to many Cubans still has echoes of nationalist sentiments going back to the Spanish-American War. With the Castro brothers now in their 80s, Obama is betting that the opening to Cuba is on the verge of a societal transition that never took hold in other communist nations. “Sometimes people ask me, ‘Well, you have an embassy in China. You have engagement with China.’ And China obviously, in many ways, is moving in a bad direction on human rights,” Rhodes recently told a CubanAmerican group in Miami. “Part of what’s so different about Cuba is this community, and this proximity, and this cultural affinity between our two countries. Also, we have a lot of confidence in the Cuban people.” Critics of Obama’s approach say he is putting his faith in a Cuban regime that can’t be trusted, and the benefits of increased trade and travel will only further entrench the government. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., said Obama should insist that Cuba agree to extradite U.S. fugitives — including a woman responsible for killing a New Jersey police officer in 1973 — and that Cuba release political prisoners and stops doing business with North Korea. “Whether you agree or disagree with Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, which I think is one of

the worst foreign policy mistakes we’ve seen in decades, and if you agree or disagree with Burma, Cuba is different,” Diaz-Balart said. “With Burma he insisted on conditions that had to take place before we could begin to normalize relations. In the case of Cuba, he asked for nothing.” Or, as Sen. Bob Menendez, DN.J., put it on the Senate floor last week: “The simple truth is deals with the devil require the devil to deal.” In Myanmar, the Obama administration received concessions from the military junta even before talks began on normalizing relations. One key provision required Americans investing there to report who they were doing business with, their relationship to the government and how workers are treated. Michael Posner, a former assis-

tant secretary of State in the Obama administration, said that model of “principled engagement” could work in Cuba — if given a chance. “We’re a long way away from getting there on Cuba. The human rights record is not good. The Castros are still in control,” he said. “But it really is a society in transition.” There have been small steps by the Cuban government. On Thursday, it removed a 10% charge on swapping dollars for “convertible” pesos, a second currency Cuba developed in 2004 as it banned greenbacks from the island. It’s released some political prisoners — but also rearrested many of them. Even last week, Cuban rhetoric continued to insist that it was up to the United States to show some goodwill. “If the United States government wants to benefit the Cuban people, lift the the blockade,” Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said. That’s Obama’s ultimate goal. But the blockade — an economic embargo first imposed in the Kennedy administration — can only be lifted by Congress. As if to underscore the importance of Congress in the effort, Obama is accompanied on his trip by 39 lawmakers mostly sympathetic to his strategy. “We very much want to make the process of normalization irreversible,” Rhodes said.

cellphones can be used in Cuba, U.S. airlines are planning direct flights to the island, and several U.S. companies have struck deals to trade with Cuba. Obama is expected to embrace those changes during his trip, but the issue of human rights has been the most difficult negotiating point leading up to his visit. Secretary of State John Kerry was supposed to visit the island ahead of Obama’s trip but canceled because of disagreements over whom he could meet with. The White House has said that Obama will meet with a group of dissidents Tuesday, but several have said they’re unsure whether they’ll be able to attend. Guillermo Farinas, a leading voice in Cuba’s civil rights movement who is part of the group that could meet Obama, is camped out at a friend’s house this week because he said Cuban authorities have ordered him to be on house arrest. He said many other dissidents like him are being blockaded in their homes ahead of Obama’s visit. Because of that, he said Obama has a “moral responsibility” to strongly criticize Cuba’s human rights record and push the government to improve before the U.S. further expands its relationship with Cuba. “The most important thing for us is that President Obama doesn’t allow the Cuban government to use his visit to create an image of complicity with the actions of the totalitarian regime,” Farinas said. The Cuban government declined to comment on Farinas’ claim that he and other dissidents were under house arrest. Before Sunday’s arrests began, some Cubans came out to shout down the Ladies in White, accus-

ing them of being U.S.-funded agitators with no grounds to complain about their situation in Cuba. “They’re a disgrace to the revolution,” said Teonila Reve, a retired Spanish teacher. She said the protesters receive salaries from U.S. government grants designed to undermine the Cuban government or from CubanAmericans in Miami who want to topple the Castro regime. Felipe Hernandez Serrano also shouted at the protesters as they prepared for their march. Serrano is the head of his neighborhood’s Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, a nationwide organization that critics of the government say is designed to spy on neighbors. Supporters of the group describe it as a community organization. Serrano called the protesters delinquents and defended the government’s right to arrest them when they cross the line. “The government doesn’t arrest innocent people. They stop agitators,” he said. Elizardo Sanchez, head of the Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation, said from his home Saturday that he hoped Obama would deliver a strong message to the Cubans. His commission has documented a rise in arrests following Cuba’s opening with the U.S. so he said he has no reason to think the arrests will stop just because Obama was coming to town. “Neither President Obama, nor the Cuban people, expect spectacular changes,” Sanchez said. “These kinds of regimes are repressive. It’s necessary to maintain their power. So no matter what Obama says or does, it’s impossible to put a good face on the human rights situation here in Cuba.”

TRUMP CAMPAIGN MAKES A CAPITAL INVESTMENT

Workers in Russia comb debris-laden plane crash site Damaged ‘black boxes’ are found for FlyDubai flight; 62 people were killed

Russian investigators inspect the wreckage at a site of the crash of Boeing 737-800 of FlyDubai airliner at the airport in Rostov-onDon, Russia, on Sunday.

Brad Heath USA TODAY

Russian aviation investigators began examining the damaged “black boxes” on Sunday for the cause of a crash that killed 62 people when an airliner plunged out of the sky while trying to land in bad weather. Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee said it had recovered the plane’s two black boxes, or flight data recorders, but the devices had sustained extensive “mechanical damage.” The boxes could offer important details of the final moments before the FlyDubai flight, which originated in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, crashed Saturday in Rostov-on-Don, a city near the east end of the Black Sea, about 600 miles south of Moscow. The Boeing 737-800 crashed just short of the runway, then exploded into a fireball. The plane was carrying 55 passengers and seven crewmembers. There were no survivors. The committee said late Sunday that investigators had retrieved data from the plane’s flight data recorder, which keeps an electronic log of how the airplane was working. That device had “good recording quality” and included information about the plane’s final seconds, the committee said. The second black box, used to record sounds in the cockpit, was more badly damaged. Officials were unable to access the sounds so far but continue to work on it, the committee said. Former U.S. National Transportation Safety Board member Steven Chealander said Sunday that he was surprised the pilots circled for so long instead of diverting to another airport and that they tried to land in such strong winds.

Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Republican front-runner Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed, consummate political outsider, is set to meet with the titans of the political establishment Monday when he arrives in Washington to hype his campaign and local business interests. A series of meetings, including an afternoon press tour of the future Trump International Hotel, will be capped off by a speech to the powerful pro-Israel lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference. The conference is expected to host Trump’s two Republican rivals — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — along with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Sen. Bernie Sanders is scheduled to be in Arizona Monday. Trump also is set to huddle privately with a mix of key Republican lawmakers and other party figures in an attempt to smooth relations. His campaign confirmed that Trump would be meeting with top Republican officials but would not offer details of the attendees or the agenda. The real estate mogul declined to elaborate on his planned message to AIPAC or whether he would honor a previous pledge to remain neutral in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute so he could try to strike a peace deal. Trump’s opponents said the U.S. should stand with Israel,

Trump, however, declined to define what such a deal would include or how he intended to address the matter in his Monday speech. “Well, I’ll define that tomorrow,” Trump told ABC. “I’m not going to define it now.” Not all conference attendees, however, are eager to hear

Trump’s explanation and are planning a demonstration, different from those that have followed the candidate’s rallies and appearances. Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism which represents about 900 congregations, said he and other Jewish leaders are planning to skip the speech to lead a study on “Jewish values.” “The values of our reform Jewish movement include equality, diversity, justice, humility and civility,” Jacobs said. “Thus far, Mr. Trump has conducted his campaign as if those are not his values.”

Mechanics, AAA at odds over repair data Karl Baker

The (Wilmington) News-Journal

Some local owners of AAAcertified auto repair shops are livid after being required to hand over details about work they do on members’ vehicles, sparking a dispute that may result in a divorce between the auto club and mechanics. AAA Mid-Atlantic in January sent out letters to member shops telling them to implement an online repair database that the auto club can access. The independent shops were instructed to input details such as parts and labor prices and the number of hours spent on a repair for any member vehicle. The requirement has caused an uproar among mechanics because the auto club is developing its own vehicle repair facility. Officials have not said when the center will open.

SAN FRANCISCO

arely does a company launch a passel of products, then face off in court with the federal government the same week. But Apple gets that rare daily double Monday and Tuesday when it’s expected to unfurl a new iPhone ANALYSIS and iPad in Cupertino, Calif., roughly 24 hours before it confronts the Department of Justice in court in Riverside, Calif. “What’s happening between the DOJ and the iPhone underscores that these smartphones remain at the epicenter of our lives, even as the market implores Apple to find another hit,” says Jefferson Wang, a senior partner at media and tech consultancy IBB Consulting. The juxtaposition of products, then confrontation, “is an interesting scenario,” says Evan Greer, campaign director of Fight for the Future, a digital rights non-profit. To recap: Apple and the Justice Department are clashing over an order from a federal magistrate in California that the company must help the FBI crack an iPhone found on Syed Farook, one of the shooters in the Dec. 2 San Bernardino, Calif., rampage that left 14 dead. The extraction of data from the iPhone would require disabling a feature that would lock investigators out if they made 10 unsuccessful tries to determine the password. Apple has repeatedly called the request an affront to consumer privacy. In essence, the scenario under-

“If Jobs was all about products, Cook is about customers and employees.” Ronald Goodstein, marketing professor

lines the impact of Apple’s products at a time when the company is about to introduce new ones, albeit minor ones. “The fact that (the Apple-FBI standoff ) is about devices with strong emotional connection to consumers helps educate the public about a topic that only tech wonks, general counsels, privacy advocates and insiders cared about for years,” Greer says. “It has raised the image of the potential dangers of weakening encryption products to the mainstream

public.” Analysts expect Apple Monday to introduce a new four-inch iPhone and a new iPad. Apple has not commented on speculation about the event, which will take place at its corporate campus in Cupertino, Calif. starting at 10 a.m. Pacific. The hearing is in Riverside, Calif., the court serving San Bernardino in southern California, the next day. Apple routinely schedules product events in March and September so the juxtaposition of a product premiere on Monday to a high-profile court date is coincidental. “Apple has control of its event schedule, not the court docket,” says Brian Blau, research vice president at Gartner. “Apple is getting praise, but the truth is every tech company should make this stand,” he says. As the public posturing and rhetoric ratchet up — in its latest

broadside, Apple said the government’s request would have “appalled the Founding Fathers” — Apple has raised its political profile during a fallow period for its products, marketing experts say. “People were critical of the last iPhone, and there is talk whether the company is doing anything innovative or new,” says Ronald Goodstein, associate professor of marketing at Georgetown University. Adding to these complaints, a cooling Chinese economy was seen as sapping demand for iPhones in China, Apple’s No. 2 market. Apple shares last year dropped into a bear market, with a loss of over 20% from their previous highs. At one point, market cap shrank below Google’s. Shares have recovered a bit with the broader tech market, up 13% to $105.92 from early February . Apple CEO Tim Cook has pivoted from critics about Apple’s corporate strategy with his strong public stance against the FBI’s request. He’s deepened customer trust and loyalty and become the conscience and voice of the tech industry, Goodstein says. “Cook has become an adamant political leader on social issues such as equal pay for women, same-sex marriage and now privacy,” Goodstein says. “His stock as a CEO has gone tremendously well. If (Steve) Jobs was all about products, Cook is about customers and employees.” (Apple’s track record on its own hiring of underrepresented minorities and women has shown slow progress, however.) In an interview with Time published this week, Cook said, “Fighting the government is not a thing we choose to do. America is always stronger when we do things together.”

8 firms cutting back most on future spending Trend to slash costs shows lack of faith in potential growth Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

You have to spend money to make money. So here’s a bad sign: Companies are cutting back their spending on the future, and some by staggering amounts. Eight companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, mostly energy and commodity firms like Diamond Offshore Drilling and Apache, but also entertainment firm Twenty-First Century Fox, reported at least 45% lower spending on capital expenditures in 2015 compared with the year before, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data

from S&P Capital IQ. Capital expenditure spending, which is money used to buy new plants and equipment or maintain what is already in place, is closely watched as a harbinger of how confident executives are and is considered a tip-off of potential revenue growth. This actually represents a broad and important trend. The 461 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported their capital expenditure spending for calendar 2015 have, in aggregate, trimmed it by 3.1%, according to S&P Global data. The cuts are even more severe globally, falling 10% in 2015, according to a report by Gareth Williams, research analyst at Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, that looked at non-financial companies. There’s not much relief in sight, says Williams, who forecasts capital spending to drop

in some sectors “is thin gruel given renewed concerns about the fragility of the global economy and questions about the efficacy of central bank efforts to trigger investment,” Williams said. The fact companies are cutting

back isn’t very encouraging for investors who are already concerned about a steady drop-off in revenue recently. S&P 500 companies reported lower revenue in each of the past four straight quarters, resulting in a nearly 3% drop in the top line in 2015, S&P Global says. Revenue is expected to grow by just 1.1% this year. But with companies pulling back on capital spending, investors might doubt even that is obtainable. The cuts in spending are mostly the result of energy and commodity companies curtailing capacity amid the vicious drop in energy prices. Half of the 10 S&P 500 companies that cut capital spending the most in 2015 are in the energy sector. Excluding the 28% decline in capital spending by energy companies in the S&P 500, capital spending was actually up 8.2% for the year, says Howard Silverblatt of S&P Global Indices.

TRAVEL HOTEL CEO ROUNDTABLE

Industry faces consolidations, Airbnb and robot hospitality

This year, the hotel industry is facing a wave of consolidations and mergers it hasn’t seen in years with Marriott International trying to buy Starwood Hotels and Resorts and AccorHotels making a bid for Fairmont, Raffles and Swissotel. At the same time, the industry is facing increasing demands from informed consumers as well as competition from non-traditional lodging companies such as Airbnb and online travel agencies such as Expedia. USA TODAY assembled six top hotel executives at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles in the L.A. Live JW Marriott hotel on Jan. 26 to discuss these changes and challenges. Participating in our annual roundtable were: Christophe Alaux, CEO of the Americas of AccorHotels; Jim Amorosia, CEO of G6 Hospitality, parent company of Motel 6; Mike DeFrino, CEO of Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants; Kirk Kinsell, CEO of Loews Hotels and Resorts: Christopher Nassetta, CEO of Hilton Worldwide; and Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott International. USA TODAY’s Nancy Trejos moderated the discussion. The text has been edited for clarity and length. How do you remain Q: unique in the face of such epic consolidation? (On

March 11, a consortium of investors led by Anbang Insurance Group made an unsolicited bid to buy Starwood. On Friday, Starwood declared the Angbang bid “superior.” Marriott has until March 28 to make a counteroffer.) Marriott’s Sorenson: There are tremendous advantages of scale that we’ve talked about in the context of announcing this (prospective) deal. It includes the ability to build a loyalty program that is even more compelling as it gets bigger because USA TODAY you offer more Arne places for Sorenson guests to stay. We can get more economies of scale that allow us to be the best for the consumer. That to us is really the driving point of consolidation. Fundamentally, we’ve got to make sure this business stays local and stays one where the teams around the world are empowered to do what they need to do in order to be as individualized and genuine as they possibly can. Accors’ Alaux: Globally, size matters. But I do think that hospitality is a local business, a people business, an experience business. All these big consolidations will not change the fact that we need to think and operate locally for food USA TODAY and beverage, Christophe for design conAlaux cepts, and moreover guest experience. For us, at AccorHotels, we were not that strong in the luxury segment in North America, so (the Fairmont deal) is a unique opportunity to further penetrate the luxury market well in this region. The experts are saying that we’ll see even more consolidation. Do you think that will happen? Hilton’s Nassetta: I do think you’ll see more consolidation. There are benefits of scale. We, of course, have the benefit of scale, largely because we’ve done it organically. Over the last seven years, we’ve grown by 50% to get where we are today. We launched our latest brand, Tru, by Hilton in the mid-scale segment. Launching it instead of buying it allows us to really figure out exactly what the customer wants in that segment to ultimately give them something that really resonates with them. How does a company like Loews Hotels, which has 24 properties, compete with a company with more than 1 million rooms and 31 brands, which is what Marriott would have if its merger with Starwood goes through? Loews’ Kinsell: With a small company like ours, the benefit is that we can be nimble and quick-

acting. We really control all the decisions effectively across all of our hotels. I don’t have to work through intermediaries in the case of a franchise. If we want to place in any one of our hotels a technology or a platform or a process or a system, something that helps us augment our relationship with our guests, with our team members, we can do that immediately. InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) bought Kimpton last year. How has Kimpton managed to maintain its identity while being owned by a big company with big brands and big hotels? Kimpton’s DeFrino: We were growing organically in the United States and we were at an impasse. With the energy and the resources of IHG, we will be able to launch Kimpton on a global basis. We’ve made also the decision to keep the Kimpton operation separate from IHG operations. Kimpton still maintains its autonomy. The development, the design, the creation of the restaurants and bars is all done still by Kimpton in San Francisco. Obviously there are differences in guests who use budget hotels vs. five stars. But what are some things all hotels should do right regardless of price point? G6’s Amorosia: Simplicity is part of success. A clean, comfortable room, great service — for us at the lowest price for any national chain. Every single room is consistently done so that the guest never wonders about what they’re going to USA TODAY get. One of the Jim things that we Amorosia are adamant about is the goal always has to be that whether you have 10,000 rooms or you have 150,000 or a million, your ultimate Nirvana is every single room is impeccable. Let’s talk about brands. Hilton introduced Tru this year. Marriott last year debuted AC Hotels. These new brands are edgy and targeting young, so does that mean that some older reliable brands will age out? Nassetta: I don’t think so. All of our brands have to be modern and contemporary in their approach to product, to functionality, to service delivery, to appeal to customers. Whether that’s about a so-called Millennial (those in their 20s and early 30s) or that’s my father who’s 85 years old and carries an iPhone around and wants all the same functionality that I want or my children want. The trick is really to adapt all of our brands over time to a modern context. Amorosia: One of things we did in terms of our renovation program is we took what was a typical economy room back in the ’90s and early 2000s, and we did a tremendous amount of focus groups in 2007, 2008 and asked a couple of very basic questions: If you’re going to travel, you’re going to want to make sure that you

Marriott’s Arne Sorenson, center, discuss the hospitality industry during a roundtable in Los Angeles in January with Motel 6’s Jim Amorosia, left, and AccorHotels’ Christophe Alaux, right. get a good night’s sleep and a good experience and consistency, but what else do you want to see? The first thing they all said was, “I want to feel like I’m in this century rather than last century.” That’s the responsibility of an owner in terms of challenging the brand manager to constantly be relevant. The brands that don’t take that seriously, they’re the ones that in are in danger of becoming irrelevant. Kinsell: The number of new brands that have come into the marketplace can only be good for the consumer. We have a lot of good information. It gives them a choice. USA TODAY It gives them an Kirk Kinsell opportunity to judge for themselves. I wouldn’t say that consumers are more demanding. They just have more information so they’re more informed. If the merger goes through, Marriott would end up with 31 brands. Will you have to get rid of some of these if there’s duplication? Can you reassure those avid fans of Starwood’s W Hotels, for example, that they have nothing to worry about? Sorenson: We’re going to keep all those brands. There are advantages to scale, which we keep by keeping the portfolio together. We’ll have to do everything we can to make sure those brands are as distinct as they can be. Some of those brands have got tremendous momentum and relatively few challenges. Others have been in business for decades longer, and they have challenges. How do you make sure that those hotels are getting the capital they need so that individual hotels are being reinvented? No matter how hard you want to fight it, Airbnb does not seem to be going away. Do you think you’re competing with them for the same travelers? And if so, what are you doing to entice guests who might otherwise choose a private rental? DeFrino: From our perspective in San Francisco where

Airbnb sort of got its start, we compete with them only because they’re adding a great deal of inventory to our market, and it’s one USA TODAY of those marMike DeFrino kets that is highly compressed, and there’s not a lot of new hotels coming on. So there’s a tremendous need, and the market will find a way to fill that need. We are doing things in our hotels that are making it easier for families to stay. We’re putting bunkbeds in rooms, we’re having a complement of rooms made with kitchenettes, or we’re offering more services and facilities that are allowing people to live that sort of lifestyle. Amorosia: This is not a new business. Airbnb saw an opportunity to be able to create an entity that has grown upon itself and has caught the imagination of part of the traveling public. The strategy of the hospitality industry always has to start with hospitality. Airbnb is a fantastic business, quite frankly. It’s got a lot of opportunity, but it still is a disjointed business in the sense that any given experience has no direct correlation to the next experience. Most people want to have some level of expectation that they can bank on. Sorenson: One of the things that’s happening with Airbnb now is, as they’ve gotten bigger, increasingly, they’re going to get out of the shared economy and into a space where you have dedicated real estate like micro-hotels and residential buildings or some other circumstance. But they’re no longer hosting. As a consequence, they’re no longer really local in a way that is unique. How does the more traditional hospitality space compete? With a greater sense of design, greater emotional connection with our customers, and really get them to go back and say, you know, I love that new hotel. We’ll end up competing against Airbnb on other platforms for many, many years. It’s a competition which we’d be silly to take for granted. We’re seeing mobile check-in, Smartphone keys, iPads in rooms that con-

trol lights and curtains. Starwood has robots delivering wine to your room. Will we see more robots? Nassetta: I hope we don’t see more robots. I’m sure there are things that we’ll do that technology’s going to enable. But I think the core of what we do, we’re in the business of hospitality. We’re people serving people. And in the end, you’re USA TODAY not going to Christopher ever take the Nassetta people out of this business without great risk to delivering exceptional experience to customers. We as an industry have always done our best at check in and check out. Alaux: I have no plan to roll out the drone to deliver room service in a hotel, because this is a people business. I do think that we should look at technology as a unique and big opportunity to move to the next set of opportunities and be connected with our guests, especially Millennials. Speaking of relationships, there are some consumer advocates who question the value of loyalty programs. There are blackout dates, expiration dates, and redemption charts keep changing. Tell travelers some advantages they’ll gain the moment they join your program. DeFrino: For us, the first thing they’ll get is complimentary Wi-Fi in the room. They’ll also get a $10 mini bar credit so they can raid the mini bar or take it down to the restaurant bar to get a cocktail at the bar. One of the things we’re trying to do is push interaction between our guests and our employees. You’ll also obviously get a stay that goes toward a free night. Alaux: What we are doing is providing our Only On rate, a unique rate that extends a discount of 5% to 10% discount to our Le Club AccorHotels members on our direct websites. This is working very, very well, because we can also use information gathered to anticipate our guests’ habits and identify trends to better serve them. Being part of the loyalty club is the best way to get the best experience. You mentioned free Wi-Fi. Free for loyalty members, but there are still hotels that are charging for Wi-Fi, especially at the luxury level. This is a sore point among travelers. They want free and fast Wi-Fi. Why not give it to them? Kinsell: It isn’t the cost of the Wi-Fi. It’s that it works. And it works with all of my devices with all my family members. And it works when I’m in-house with another group that’s there, and everyone is getting out at 3 in the afternoon and hitting their email. Those are the critical things.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT On Palm Sunday, Antonio Banderas was in his hometown of Malaga, Spain, where he joined the Virgen de las Lágrimas y Favores (Virgin of Tears and Favours) brotherhood procession. The event kicks off Holy Week, the solemn week leading up to Easter.

MAKING WAVES Amal Clooney was busy Sunday talking about human rights at the opening of a government communications summit in the United Arab Emirates, where she was the keynote speaker. “My advice to you is not only to be vocal and consistent, GETTY IMAGES but also to be principled in communications about human rights,” said actor George Clooney’s wife, who mentioned Sudan, Iran and North Korea in her 12-minute speech.

After a season away from the show spent at home in London, judge Len Goodman returns to ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

new crop of celebrity hoofers will get the spotlight on Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars, but a familiar face, returning head judge Len Goodman, will draw plenty of attention, too. After a season away, Goodman will be back in the center seat between fellow original judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli when the ABC dance competition gets rolling Monday. Goodman, 72, stayed in his native England for the fall season, judging Strictly Come Dancing, the model for the U.S. show, and attending to personal matters, including spending time with a new niece and a new granddaughter. He had knee surgery, too. “I’ve got a new knee. So I’m fantastic now,” he says. He says he’s happy to be back in the USA for Dancing: “Why wouldn’t I want to come to L.A. for 11 weeks and sit in the sun?” It’s more than that, however. While the show’s structures are quite similar, he appreciates the energy of the U.S. version. “It’s more vibrant. There’s more razzamatazz, more wow, in the dances,” he says. The new season, which fea-

tures 12 celebrity-pro pairings, will be Hough-free; both judge Julianne Hough and her brother, six-time pro dancing champ Derek Hough, will be away this season. “If Julianne has a couple of weeks free, it would be lovely if she comes back as a guest judge,” Goodman says. He says he’s excited about the new group, especially because it includes three football players: current NFL stars Von Miller — the Super Bowl MVP — and Antonio Brown, and former CFL and NFL quarterback Doug Flutie, a Heisman Trophy winner. “Those football guys are very competitive,” Goodman says. “I bet there will be a mini-competition.” Asked if Dancing will draw extra attention because celebrity dancer Marla Maples once was married to presidential candidate Donald Trump, Goodman wonders “if old Donald will turn up. I think he will. No, he’s too busy trying to get the Republican nomination. But you never know.” The six female stars, their pro partners and Monday’s opening dances and musical accompaniment are: actress and Broadway professional

‘Zootopia’ still rules, and audiences love ‘Miracles,’ too Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

Moviegoers didn’t pledge their allegiance to the latest Divergent installment. Allegiant, the third movie in the young-adult franchise, managed only $29.1 million its first weekend, according to studio estimates from comScore. That’s just over half the opening takes of the series’ Divergent ($54.6 million) in 2014 and last year’s Insurgent ($52.3 million), both of which also opened in March. Shailene Woodley and Theo James lead the dystopian adventure/romance, which is adapted from the third book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent series. Octavia Spencer, Jeff Daniels and Naomi Watts joined the ranks for Allegiant, although added star power wasn’t enough to draw in crowds.

Audiences are still sweet on Zootopia after three weeks. “Younger audiences change their mind like the weather, and it’s very hard to gauge interest,” says comScore senior box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. The final movie, Ascendant, is scheduled for release in June 2017, which could bode well for a

DISNEY

stronger start. “It’s a different type of month for its box office potential,” Dergarabedian adds. “It being the last one also carries a bit of cachet” and could drum up additional interest. In light of Allegiant’s secondplace finish, Zootopia ruled the

jungle with No. 1 and $38 million, bringing its North American tally to $201.8 million in just 17 days. Disney’s animated animal comedy has dominated the box office for three weeks straight, netting a worldwide haul of $591.7 million. “It’s been a juggernaut — I don’t know that anyone thought it’d do this well,” Dergarabedian says. Rounding out the top five, Miracles From Heaven came in third with $15 million for the weekend and $18.6 million since its opening Wednesday. The Christian drama is adapted from Christy Beam’s memoir of the same name and stars Jennifer Garner as a mother whose young daughter is cured from a chronic illness after a near-death experience. The J.J. Abrams-produced mystery 10 Cloverfield Lane continued to impress with No. 4 and $12.5 million ($45.2 million in two weeks), while R-rated superhero smash Deadpool took fifth place and $8 million ($341.9 million total). Final figures are expected Monday.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR FORWARD PERRY ELLIS (34) CATCHES A PASS IN THE PAINT in front of Connecticut forward Shonn Miller in the first half of KU’s 73-61 victory in the Round of 32 on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.

Efficient Ellis draws little attention to himself His expression seldom changes, so Perry Ellis rarely is the one photographed for either jubilation or dejection shots. His jumper doesn’t have that textbook release that makes for pretty pictures. His body moves so efficiently without limbs going in million different directions the way Julian Wright’s did, so he doesn’t make for unusual images, even when rising up high to slam home a dunk.

His answers during interviews are quite predictable, so Ellis isn’t quoted as often as most college basketball players whose names appear on a blue-blood school’s top10 career scoring lists. Ellis draws so little attention to himself that he even can blend into the background on the court in the eyes of those who respect him the most. “He’s the key to the team,” sophomore guard Devonté

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Graham said of Ellis. “You know, sometimes we forget about him. He can’t believe that, but sometimes we start

jacking up threes and stuff like that, and then we get a false sense of (what is good offense), that’s what coach tells us. When we are making shots, we forget about Perry. So we always have to play through ‘P’ on any given day.” Ellis isn’t the top scorer in college basketball, just the most consistent. He has scored at least 20 points in six of his past seven games. Here’s the really amazing

thing, though: During that stretch, he never has scored more than 22 points, never fewer than 17. Just one other Sweet 16 player has reached 20 points in six of his past seven games, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield. During his seven-game stretch, Hield scored as many as 39 points in a game, as few as six, and those totals came in back-toback games. Hield has had 11 Please see KEEGAN, page 3C

tive Mark Turgeon, who played for KU from 1983 to ’87 and worked on the staffs of both Larry Brown and Roy Williams. “I hate we have to play Kansas. I’m just glad we’re there,” Turgeon said after Sunday’s victory. “They’re the best team in the country. We’ve got to get a quick turnaround. We play Thursday night, but we’re just excited to be in the game.” Tipoff for the game will be approximately 8:40 p.m. Thursday in KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville.

Winner advances to Saturday’s Elite Eight against Villanova or Miami. “Maryland is without question one of the most talented teams in the country. They are very strong on the perimeter and play through both bigs,” KU coach Bill Self said Sunday.

MLS Kansas City, Kan. — Brad Davis scored the first goal with his new team in the 70th minute Sunday night and Sporting Kansas City stayed atop the MLS standings with 1-0 win over Toronto FC. Davis joined Sporting KC (3-00) for his 15th MLS season after playing the last 10 years for the Houston Dynamo. He beat defender Justin Morrow to a loose ball near the end line, used a hesitation dribble to create an opening and slotted a left-footed shot into the far corner. It was his 56th career MLS goal. Morrow fell to the turf during the tussle with Davis and

ing his freshman season, when Michigan defeated Kansas, 87-85 in overtime. Ellis contributed eight points and five rebounds in reserve in that one. Staying four years in college has given Ellis his best shot at hooking on with an NBA team. “These four years definitely helped me so much,” Ellis said. “I’ve grown so much each year, and it’s definitely benefited me, and I’m glad I did this, I chose to do this.” Graham has been around for half of Ellis’ career and articulated the growth he has witnessed.

Maryland, which opened the season 15-1 and 22-3, lost four of its last six regular-season games before beating Nebraska and losing to Michigan State in the Big Ten postseason tourney. The No. 5-seed Terps beat South Dakota State, 79-74, in the first-round of the NCAAs before slugging Hawaii by 13. “We’ve got faith in our scouting report. We’ll listen to it, practice hard and be ready,” KU senior Jamari Traylor said. ‘It’s a good feeling’: Maryland’s Rasheed Sulaimon asked if the Terps would celebrate its trip to the Sweet 16.

“Coach is probably going to take our phones and probably start focusing on Kansas,” he said, adding, “so we’re definitely going to celebrate, probably play video games. I’ll probably beat Melo in FIFA (EA Sports) and talk trash. It’s a good feeling, and it’s definitely going to be an enjoyable night. But at the same time, we still have business to take care of, and we got a tough team coming up. So we’re not going to get too crazy.” Trimble added: “I don’t know about the FIFA part, but everything else he said was pretty on point. We’re going to enjoy this win tonight and can’t really do too much. We got a flight tomorrow morning. We’re going to

He can roll a smaller defender on a slow roll in the post. He’s very comfortable in that spot, too. So every area of the basketball court, he’s dangerous.” Points will be much tougher to come by in the paint than usual Thursday in Louisville, where Kansas faces the tallest and widest remaining team in the tournament, No. 5 seed

Maryland. Ellis’ versatility will come in handy if the Terps make it tough to score on the block. “Every three levels he can score at,” Ollie said. “And he’s coached very, very well, and the coach knows his strengths and really puts him in his strength areas.” Even when opponents know his spin move is coming, Ellis executes it with such quickness and precision that it’s tough to stop. He’s back in the Sweet 16 after back-toback disappointments in the Round of 32. Ellis’ only other trip to the Sweet 16 came dur-

30-point games this season, Ellis none. Ellis’ season-high of 27 came in the triple-overtime victory against Oklahoma.

“I think one of the biggest things that I’ve seen from him is just how more aggressive he’s gotten,” Graham said. “It might seem like he’s always been aggressive scoring, but a lot of times the coach tells him, ‘You’ve got to be more aggressive, don’t be so hesitant.’ And especially lately, he hasn’t been hesitating with his jump shot or attacking the basket or attacking bigs off the bounce, so I think he’s grown in the aggressive category a lot more.” Kansas will need Ellis to come up big again against the big Terps.

After a sluggish first half in which Maryland led 28-27, the tempo picked up in the second. Hawaii went on a 10-4 run to take a 39-36 lead. Then the bottom fell out.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

MENS ROUNDUP

OU holds off VCU; A&M storms back Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season. With 17.5 seconds left, Notre Dame grabbed an SFA rebound down one and put it in the hands of Demetrius Jackson. The point guard drove to the basket and missed. Zach Auguste followed for the Irish (22-12) but could not convert. The ball slipped off the rim and with one hand Pflueger flipped it in for his only basket of the game.

The Associated Press

West Region No. 2 Oklahoma 85, No. 10 VCU 81 Oklahoma City — Buddy Hield let Oklahoma’s fans witness one last vintage hot streak. Playing at Chesapeake Energy Arena, just a halfhour drive from campus, the senior guard scored 19 of his 36 points in the final eight minutes to help the second-seeded Sooners hold off No. 10 seed VCU Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Hield, the nation’s No. 2 scorer, posted at least 30 points for the 11th time this season. As he stood at the free-throw line late in the game, the fans stood and chanted, “Buddy! Buddy!” “This is the big stage,” Hield said. “It’s win or go home. It’s my senior year. NCAA Tournament. Everybody is watching. You don’t get these moments very often, so you go out there, you’ve got to bring it.” Hield didn’t score for more than 10 minutes to start the game, yet, as he often has done, he eventually got going. He made nine of 12 shots in the second half after going 2-for8 in the first. “He’s done it so many times for us throughout his career, and especially this year, and again today,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “It seemed like every shot that he had that we needed, he stepped up and made it. And it’s not that easy to do, especially with the defense leaning on you and targeting you.” Hield scored 29 points in the second half. “Best player I’ve seen in college basketball,” VCU coach Will Wade said.

Andie Formby became the 26th softball pitcher in Kansas University to throw a no-hitter when she pitched KU to a 9-0 rout of Saint Louis on Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park. Formby struck out four and faced only 20 batters in a game shortened by run-rule. “I Formby came out today and focused on getting outs,” Formby said. “It’s easier to get the outs with the defense behind me, I couldn’t ask for a better defense.” Shannon McGinley went 2-for-3 with two runs and Erin McGinley 2-for-4 with a run and two RBIs to pace the KU offense. Erin McGinley, Harli Ridling and Kylee Kennedy homered. Kansas will host Evansville in a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

ed five base-runners in the first two innings and ultimately fell to Stanford, 6-2, in nonconference baseball on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinal (10-5) thus completed a three-game sweep of the Jayhawks (7-11). “I thought our bats were much better today than they were on Friday and Saturday,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “You have to tip your hat to their defense, though. They made some great plays. We just couldn’t find that clutch hit to drive in runs.” Each team had eight hits, but Stanford made the most if its. Matt McLaughlin and Michael Tinsley each went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Jayhawks. Blake Weiman (1-1) took the loss after allowing five earned runs off five hits over 61⁄3 innings, with a walk and two strikeouts. Kansas will play at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Creighton.

BIG 12 WOMEN The Associated Press

Sioux Falls Regional No. 1 S. Carolina 73, No. 9 Kansas State 47 Columbia, S.C. — Tiffany Mitchell scored 16 of her 20 points in the first two quarters as South Carolina opened a big lead and breezed into the Sweet 16. The Gamecocks (331) romped through their first two NCAA Tournament games, defeating Jacksonville by 36 points before routing the Wildcats (19-13) on the way to their fourth round of 16 in the past five seasons. South Carolina, though, is looking for much more and showed the inside strength and defense that might help achieve their national championship goal. The Gamecocks will face No. 4 seed Syracuse (27-7) on Friday. Breanna Lewis had 21 points to lead the Wildcats. No. 3 Ohio State 88, No. 6 West Virginia 81 Columbus, Ohio — Kelsey Mitchell scored 45 points to help Ohio State beat West Virginia. Mitchell, constantly battered by a West Virginia team determined to slow her down, made five three-pointers and also was 18-for-22 from the foul line as the Ohio State moved to the Sweet

16 round for the eighth time. The 45 points was the fourth highest total ever in NCAA play. Forward Shayla Cooper added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Buckeyes, who will play Tennessee on Friday. Despite Mitchell taking charge, the determined — and larger — Mountaineers kept it from getting out of hand, out-rebounding the Buckeyes 46-37 and scoring 36 of their points in the paint. Bria Holmes led West Virginia with 21 points.

Dallas Regional No. 1 Baylor 84, No. 9 Auburn 52 Waco, Texas — Nina Davis scored 30 points as Baylor women advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the eighth year in a row. The Lady Bears (351) never trailed. Alexis Jones and freshman post Kalani Brown both had 16 points, while senior point guard Niya Johnson had 10 assists in her last home game. Baylor has a 22-game winning streak and advanced to play Saturday against Texas A&M or Florida State.
