Eldridge expansion plans scrapped Thefts on campus KANSAS UNIVERSITY

t looks like one of downtown’s major expansion projects won’t be happening after all — at least not anytime soon. Plans to expand the historic Eldridge Hotel at Seventh and Massachusetts streets have been scrapped for the time being. I had heard recently that the hotel ownership group had notified some city officials that plans for an approximately 50-room expansion of the hotel, and the addition of new banquet and restaurant space had been put on hold. Nancy Longhurst, general manager of the hotel, now has confirmed as much. “At this point, the owners of The Eldridge have made the decision not to proceed currently on the expansion project,” she told me via email. “We look forward to investing in this project in the future.” That means a vacant lot on Massachusetts Street will continue to exist for a while. Plans had called for the hotel

The street repair was part of an agreement the Lawrence City Commission passed Tuesday when commissioners approved the mural. Workers will later go in and add new crosswalk markings. Mark Thiel, the city’s assistant public works director, said the maintenance, which needed to happen anyway, was pushed up so as to not damage the mural later. The artists behind the

KU police counted 175 theft reports on campus in 2015, down from 239 thefts in 2014, according to the newly released campus crime statistics. Police counted 186 narcotics offenses in 2015, up from 177 in 2014. Criminal damage to property also dropped notably to 90 reports in 2015, compared with 130 in 2014. Overall, KU police handled 757 crimes in 2015, down 9 percent from 834 crimes in 2014, according to the statistics. All but a handful — five driving while intoxicated and one fraud — occurred on campus proper. Violent crimes, defined by the FBI as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, were down in all categories and remained less than 1 percent of all criminal offenses reported, according to a news release from KU.

If all goes well, the Chambourcin vines planted will produce grapes for a red wine and the Traminette vines for a white in four years. Both are hybrid varieties developed to thrive in Kansas, Holland said. The Hollands are not waiting for the vines to mature before launching Haven Pointe Winery Vineyard. Holland said he bought produce last fall to be used for the first wines the family hopes to have available for tasting and purchase late this summer or early fall. “We’re going to specialize in all Kansas products: grapes, apples and even honey,” he said. “I secured some honey from Kansas aviaries we’re going to use to produce mead.” Holland said other preparations included securing the needed federal permits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and learning more about wine making and grape growing.

His legislative and wine interests intersect with his efforts to get the support of the Kansas congressional delegation to lobby the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and

Trade Bureau to give the state’s grape producing regions American Viticultural Area designations, Holland said. AVA designations reflect that the soil, climate and other environmental factors in which grapes grow influence the characteristics of a wine. Having an AVA designation on the label means at least 85 percent of the grapes used to make the wine were grown in that area, which gives wineries a marketing advantage by helping develop a regional brand and assuring consistency of product to consumers. Holland said it occurred to him recently that the family’s vineyards have another thing going for them. “I realized the other day that we are in the Vinland Valley,” he said. “I need to work that into my marketing some way.”

project to receive about $400,000 in rebates on sales taxes paid on construction materials. During that IRB debate in October, the development group told the city it already had contracted for $3 million to $3.5 million worth of construction materials for the project. So, based on that statement, it seemed that the project was pretty well committed. Certainly, though, the project may move forward at some point. Unlike in previous years, the hotel development group now owns the vacant lot south of the hotel. So, a project likely could be

restarted fairly quickly. Previous plans approved by the city, however, do have an expiration date. So it would be likely that any new project would have to go through the entire city approval process again. I’ll have to do some more checking on what happens to the industrial revenue bond approval. Those bonds were only to be used as a method to get the sales tax rebate, so it would seem to be moot at this point. If I find out differently, I’ll let you know.

Election official used political ties, then curbed voting By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita (ap) — A Kansas county elections official used close ties to one of the nation’s leading advocates of voting restrictions to help secure the top job at a government agency entrusted with making voting more accessible, and then used the federal position to implement an obstacle to voter registration in three states. An email provided to The Associated Press through open re- Newby cords requests offers a glimpse into the mindset of Brian Newby, executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, who decided — without public comment or approval from bosses — that residents of Alabama, Kansas and Georgia can no longer register to vote using

a national form without providing proof of U.S. citizenship. As a finalist for the job of executive director, Newby said in a June email to his benefactor, Kansas’ Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach, that he was friends with two of the commissioners at the federal agency, and told Kobach: “I think I would enter the job empowered to lead the way I want to.” Voting rights advocates were stunned by Newby’s action once he got the job and have sued to overturn it. Activists say it flies in the face of the commission’s mission to provide a simple, easy form to encourage voter registration. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that states must accept and use the federal voter registration form, and an appeals court ruled in 2014 in a lawsuit filed by

Kobach that states could not force the commission to require residents to provide proof-of-citizenship documents on the national form. The little-known commission was created in 2002 to help prevent a repeat of the disputed 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore following voting chaos in the crucial state of Florida. Among the commission’s duties is oversight of the national voter registration form. The federal body is supposed to have two Republican and two Democratic commissioners but has only one Democrat now because of a vacancy. Documents obtained by AP show Newby’s ties to Kobach, the architect of voter ID and other restrictive voter registration laws around the nation that he says are needed to prevent voter fraud. Critics say there is very little voter fraud and Kobach’s

measures hurt voter registration and deprive eligible voters of the right to vote. Kobach had appointed Newby to be a county elections commissioner in Johnson County, and helped him get the federal job that he took in November. “I wanted you in the loop, in part because of other issues in the past with the EAC,” Newby emailed Kobach. “I also don’t want you thinking that you can’t count on me in an upcoming period that will tax our resources.” Newby declined to comment for this story about the email, referring questions to a commission spokesman, Bryan Whitener, who declined comment. Newby was hired by the three sitting commissioners. Kobach said Wednesday that he spoke to one, and possibly two of the Republican commissioners, about Newby prior to his hiring.

“I told that person I thought Newby would be excellent and he was one of Kansas’ most talented county election officers and indeed one of the most talented election officers in the country,” Kobach said. But documents from open records requests and interviews by AP show that as early as April 2015 and continuing in the months leading to Newby’s hiring by the commission, Kobach and his staff met with county officials to discuss concerns about Newby’s job performance in Kansas. Those concerns led officials to call for an audit of the Johnson County election office Newby led. Kobach told AP he never informed the federal commissioners about those problems, and insisted they would not have affected Newby’s performance at his federal job. The audit released earlier this month found

Newby intentionally skirted oversight of government credit card expenses, wasted taxpayer funds and improperly claimed mileage and travel expenses while at his former job in Kansas. Newby has called the audit inaccurate and misleading. Among the questionable expenditures was more than $18,000 that county taxpayers spent for a conference in Kansas City. Documents obtained through open records requests show it was organized by Newby and all three federal commissioners spoke at that conference, which was in September while Newby was under consideration for the job. Newby told Kobach that he never would have been considered for such a high-profile position if it weren’t for Kobach’s support, adding that he would be saying “repeated prayers of thanksgiving for that.”

Restaurant inspections: Convenience stores, fraternity and more

hen it comes to gas station food I kind of always figured it was a “you get what you see” situation. Beef jerky and cheese popcorn were always my go-to snack choices for longer road trips. Let’s be honest, they still are. But every once in a while I’d dive in head-first and snag myself a sandwich or hot dog. The stomach, like the heart, wants what it wants. All the same, gas stations, convenience stores and filling stations — if I may use Andy Griffith terminology — are all subject to the same rules as any other establishments that serve food. And sometimes they’re found not to be in compliance with those rules. Two times each month I take a look at inspection

A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence that aren’t necessarily your typical thing. Like, we do a lot of lengua with roasted pepper and onions…

LAWRENCE LIBATIONS

By Joanna Hlavacek

... Lengua meaning tongue. Yeah, it’s tongue. It’s not your typical thing you’d find on just any menu. But the guisado style of just slowly cooking it and introducing these roasted pepper and onions really adds this heightened flavor to it that’s a little spicy and something you might not have experienced before. And people are fans of the lengua? It’s been amazing. We’re calling ourselves a taqueria, we are a taqueria, and we’re realizing, “OK, you can’t really say you’re a taqueria unless you have lengua on the menu.” We started off just getting people to try it, but I swear, from the moment we started serving the lengua to where it is now, it’s just jumped so far. People are ordering it more and more. And since we give you an option of three tacos, you can always pick three kinds. A lot of people have just been saying, “Oh, I’ll try the lengua,” and the next thing you know, they’re ordering three lengua tacos, you know? Because it is really, really tasty.

A TACO MASTER

COMES OUT OF HIS SHELL

n our second installment of 10 Questions, Taco Zone coowner, general manager and one-time rocker Brad Shanks (formerly of the indie outfit Blood on the Wall) chats about life after Replay Lounge, the surprising popularity of the tongue taco, and brotherly (in-law) love. We are also willing to give a pass on what counts as "10" and "questions" in this case. Taco Zone started out as a food stand at the Replay Lounge, which has a pretty raucous vibe, as anyone who’s been there knows. Do you ever miss that dive-bar atmosphere? I love that place and a lot of my friends work there, and I worked there as a bartender for a long time as well. I do miss being there. It’s a lot of fun — you know, on weekends, there’d be like, 5, 6, 700 people going in through that door, so it was always pretty wild. And it was a really great way for us to get our name out. People would show up to see a show and have some drinks, and then they’d see us in the corner and they’d try some tacos, and they’d keep coming back. So it worked out really well.

years and years ago. They ended up moving in together and getting married, and I’d go out to visit them all the time. They’d take me to these amazing taquerias all around Southern California. It was my favorite thing to do. So, when they decided to move back to the area, Courtney was asking what Lawrence needed or didn’t have, and I was like, “One of those Southern California-style taquerias would be amazing. We don’t have one of those.” This is our version of it, basically.

Your restaurant isn’t the only one around Lawrence to have made the transition from pop-up to brick-and-mortar in recent years. Was it about this concept of temporary dining options — pop-ups and trucks and the like — that’s become so huge lately? Gosh, it’s hard to say. With food trucks, you have more of a freedom and opportunity to try things out. Same thing with small spots like this — having our stand on the Replay patio was kind of like, “Well, we only have enough room to make four tacos. Let’s make the best four tacos we can make.” You’re constantly trying to switch things up and challenge people with your food and see if anybody likes it, really. You’ve been pretty clear that you’re not the chef in this endeavor. Have you learned to cook at all since opening the restaurant? I cook at home just like anybody else. Sometimes it’s good; sometimes it’s bad. But Brian actually started his first cooking job at Herbivore’s, which was an old vegetarian restaurant just two doors down from here. Then he got a Julia Child scholarship from going to Johnson County (Community College) for culinary school, and then he went to Le Cordon Bleu in France. He graduated there at the top of his class, and he’s cooked in Michelin star restaurants and he’s been all over the world — he’s cooked in Australia, New York, D.C., Philadelphia. He’s been doing this for over 20 years. And then there’s me, Bartender Brad, who’s worked in some restaurants. I’ve brought some of my own knowledge to the table, but I’m learning a lot from him. I feel pretty lucky and honored that he’s my brother-in-law and that we’re doing it together, because without the food, what d’ya got, really? (laughs)

When you’re not at the restaurant, where do you like to eat? I really love Leeway Franks. They’re similar to us in that they’re Compared to what people a small little spot trying to do their around here might be used to as thing. Their food is incredible.

The Sea Kreature at Ramen Bowls, 125 E. 10th St.

THE SEA KREATURE In mid-to-late March, when social media only serves as a glum — but not entirely accurate — reminder that everyone is on spring break but you, a tropical-themed cocktail sort of reinforces the point. But, you know, there's something about the flavor trifecta of coconut, pineapple and ginger — and, of course, alcohol content — that temporarily sets one at ease. Almost like a mini vacation in a glass. After one of these little guys, you'll most likely forgive the "K" in "Kreature," if you're the type who gets riled up over an erroneous "K" when a "C" would do just fine. It might even seem endearing. The hard stuff: Ginger vodka, rum (both of the coconut and spiced variety)

Where it’s served: Ramen Bowls, 125 E. 10th St. What you’ll pay: $7 Other libations at this location: A few other tropical- and/or nauticalthemed cocktails, like the Dark and Stormy (ginger beer and spiced rum) or the Island Margarita, which apparently offers a “Pacific twist” on the old standby. Also, lots and lots of sake, on its own or in cocktails. The Sake Apple Fizz, made with sparkling sake and apple pie liquor, might be next on my “try” list. — Drink up. Stay classy. Don’t forget to tip your bartender. And let us know if you want to suggest a libation for this feature — email jhlavacek@ ljworld.com or Tweet her at Twitter.com/hlavacekjoanna. Cheers.

Sister-in-law’s venting unlikely to go away Dear Annie: My sister-in-law is going through dialysis. She is able to do it in the comfort of her home with help of a nurse, so she can be close to her young kids. Her husband dotes on her. She isn’t able to get out much, but she tries to see my in-laws for supper or coffee whenever possible. My husband and I make an effort to come over to say hi and be supportive, plus our kids love seeing their cousins. The problem is, whenever I ask her how she is doing, she says something dark like, “I’m still alive, but why would any of you care?” Last week, she said she is going to get a motorcycle because she’s going to die anyway. If you try to steer the conversation to something lighter, she

Netflix’s ‘Ranch’ is too raunchy Cowboys and laugh tracks. Can you get any more old school? Netflix, the streaming service that has upended the idea of how people watch television, has returned to the classic sitcom. “Fuller House” debuted a month ago. Now, two members of the “That ’70s Show” cast return in “The Ranch,” a 10-episode sitcom streaming today. Ashton Kutcher stars as Colt, a washed-up pro-football wannabe who returns to his family’s Colorado home, where his younger brother, Rooster (Danny Masterson), has been trying to help his father, Beau (Sam Elliott), save the family ranch in the face of severe drought and a rotten economy. Colt’s mother, Maggie (Debra Winger), divorced Beau some years back, but still runs the local bar and shows up now and then to bicker and bed down with her cranky ex. Given its impressive cast and intriguing premise, you’d think “The Ranch” might work. It doesn’t, and that’s apparent from the very first scene. Beau deeply resents Colt’s cavalier attitude toward discipline, commitment, family and hard work. Colt is clearly the gifted child who threw it all away, and Beau won’t let him forget it. Rooster, too, has much to resent. He was the one left behind, trapped with his stubborn father on a failing plot of land while his golden-boy brother traded football glory for booze, sex and squandered chances. The story, characters and setting have a ring of real drama, even tragedy. But all of that goes out the window when “The Ranch” remembers it’s a sitcom. Colt and Beau fight like a father and son in some secondrate Arthur Miller play until Rooster throws in a self-deprecating punch line, triggering gales of laughter and a jarring shift in tone. It doesn’t help that the dialogue consists largely of profanities, crude barnyard anatomy jokes and meager attempts to invoke contemporary pop-culture (Tom Brady and Ugg boots) artifacts. Beau’s ornery conservative patter sounds like hand-me-down Rush Limbaugh. Do people still make Al Gore jokes? Dialogue aside, the script is remarkably flabby and lacking in scene-setting specifics. How big is the ranch, and what kind of ranch is it? It seems more like a Hollywood writer’s idea of a ranch than a real setting.

Regrettable situation The mess at a major new retail/ residential project could get even worse if city officials don’t insist on a solution that adequately addresses their parking concerns.

t’s better for the city to take the time to get a solid, workable parking plan for the HERE @ Kansas complex than to accept a partial solution that it might later regret. There already is plenty of room for regrets on this project, located east of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium. City commissioners who initially approved this plan and the tax incentives to help support it put their faith in a developer who subsequently put its faith in a company that was unable to deliver the robotic parking system it had promised. Two of the parking firm’s earlier projects have failed, and, according to HERE officials, no one is capable of installing the system that was promised. Developers are trying to recover from that blow, but it would not be unexpected that such a massive mistake might delay the opening of the project, which was scheduled for August. As new City Manager Tom Markus reminded us this week, city commissioners have an incentive to work with HERE to prevent the failure of this project, but that doesn’t mean they have to approve a plan they aren’t happy with just so the complex can open on time. If commissioners allow this building to be occupied, even with limitations, they will lose much of their leverage on parking requirements. Once the project is open, they or some future commission will face additional pressure to accept a less-than-satisfactory resolution to the parking issue. The HERE developers never seem to have fully grasped the bottom line of the city’s concerns about parking for this project, which is that developers must ensure to the best of their ability that people who live in this large new complex will not put additional pressure on parking in the already crowded Oread Neighborhood. The only way to do that is to provide convenient, inexpensive parking for their residents. Just because people in other apartment complexes in other cities are willing to pay $50 or $60 a month to lease a parking place, doesn’t mean Lawrence residents, especially students, will choose to do that rather than look for other places to park, probably on neighborhood streets. If a valet parking system proves to be inconvenient for the residents, it will have the same effect. Even if apartment residents say they don’t have cars, there’s no way to police that. If the developers don’t make it easy for residents to use their parking, the residents will look elsewhere. Once again this week, Mayor Mike Amyx wanted to know how many traditional, self-park spaces the HERE garage would accommodate. That number likely will be quite small, but it’s understandable that Amyx would be frustrated at his question not being answered. “This is my last chance to bring it up,” he said at Tuesday’s meeting “I really want us to stop and think about that. If we mess this up, it could be ugly for everyone.” Amyx is right. This situation already is pretty ugly, but it could get worse if commissioners accept a partial solution and a promise from a developer that hasn’t fully acknowledged its obligation to address the city’s concerns about Oread Neighborhood parking. Commissioners need to take the time to find the best possible solution for this problem and set up the necessary requirements to make sure that solution is implemented. LAWRENCE

Libya mars Clinton’s credentials Washington — Republican peculiarities in this political season are so numerous and lurid that insufficient attention is being paid to this: The probable Democratic nominee’s principal credential, her service as secretary of state, is undermined by a debacle of remarkable dishonesty. Hillary Clinton’s supposedly supreme presidential qualification is not her public prominence, which is derivative from her marriage, or her unremarkable tenure in a similarly derivative Senate seat. Rather, her supposed credential is her foreign policy mastery. Well. She cannot be blamed for Vladimir Putin’s criminality or, therefore, for the failure of her “reset” with Russia, which was perhaps worth trying. She cannot be blamed for the many defects of the Iran nuclear agreement, which was a presidential obsession. And she cannot be primarily blamed for the calamities of Iraq, Syria and the Islamic State, which were incubated before her State Department tenure. Libya, however, was what is known in tennis as an “unforced error,” and Clinton was, with President Obama, its co-author. On March 28, 2011, nine days after the sevenmonth attack on Libya began and 10 days after saying it would last “days, not weeks,” Obama gave the nation televised assurance that “the task that I assigned our forces (is) to protect the Libyan people from immediate danger and to establish a no-fly

Obama added: “Broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.” The next day, a Clinton deputy repeated this to a Senate committee. And then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates said at the time that no vital U.S. interest was at stake. Recently, he told The New York Times (Feb. 27, 2016) that “the fiction was maintained” that the goal was to cripple Moammar Gadhafi’s ability to attack other Libyans. This was supposedly humanitarian imperialism implementing “R2P,” the “responsibility to protect.” Perhaps as

Writing for Foreign Policy online, Micah Zenko, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, notes that “just hours into the intervention, Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from a British submarine stationed in the Mediterranean Sea struck an administrative building in (Gadhafi’s) Bab al-Azizia compound, less than 50 yards away from the dictator’s residence.” A senior military official carefully insisted “(Gadhafi’s) not on a targeting list.” This was sophistry in the service of cynicism: For months, places he might be were on targeting lists. The pretense was that this not-really-NATO operation, with the United States “supporting” it, was merely to enforce U.N. resolutions about protecting Libyans from Gadhafi. Zenko, however, argues that the coalition “actively chose not to enforce” the resolution prohibiting arms transfers to either side in the civil war. While a senior NATO military official carefully said “I have no information about” arms coming into Libya, and another carefully said that no violation of the arms embargo “has been reported,” Zenko writes that “Egypt and Qatar were shipping advanced weapons to reb-

el groups the whole time, with the blessing of the Obama administration.” On May 24, 2011, NATO released a public relations video showing sailors from a Canadian frigate, supposedly enforcing the arms embargo, boarding a rebel tugboat laden with arms. The video’s narrator says: “NATO decides not to impede the rebels and to let the tugboat proceed.” Zenko writes, “A NATO surface vessel stationed in the Mediterranean to enforce an arms embargo did exactly the opposite, and NATO was comfortable posting a video demonstrating its hypocrisy.” On Oct. 20, 2011, Clinton, while visiting Afghanistan, was told that insurgents, assisted by a U.S. Predator drone, had caught and slaughtered Gadhafi. She quipped: “We came, we saw, he died.” She later said that her words expressed “relief” that the mission “had achieved its end.” Oh, so this military adventure was, after all, history’s most protracted and least surreptitious assassination. Regime change was deliberately accomplished by the determined decapitation of the old regime, and Libyans are now living in the result — a failed state. Stopping in Libya en route to Afghanistan two days before Gadhafi’s death, Clinton said, “I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya.” If you seek her presidential credential, look there. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

Tax priorities To the editor: The county-wide sales tax approved by voters in 1994 has recently become a topic for discussion with the City Commission. Commissioner Boley recently was quoted as saying “They did the right thing and wisely put in flexibility in the ballot language. We have an obligation to address the priorities of the people who are paying the tax. It seems very simple to me.” This quote is a stark contrast to his position on the topic during his successful campaign. In his candidate profile published on Feb. 22, 2015, in the Lawrence Journal-World, then-candidate Boley felt the voters should decide the issue. “You have to pay respect to the citizens, and letting them vote pays respect.” I agree with the sentiment he expressed during his campaign. It is time for sales tax that has now served its defined purpose to be reaffirmed by the citizens who are paying the tax. I do not want to leave it up to the City Commission to decide the “priorities of the people” when the people can decide for themselves.

A final factor should also be considered in this debate. This is a county-wide tax. So, it seems appropriate that the citizens of Douglas County outside the city of Lawrence and their representatives should be involved in the dialog. They too are paying the tax. Rob Chestnut, Lawrence

Helping hands To the editor: There are a lot of good people in Lawrence. I want to tell you about five such men. On March 23, I ran out of gas in my car at Fourth and Iowa streets. I was able to get my car to the far right-hand lane of Iowa Street. As I sat there contemplating what to do, a gentleman stopped to inquire of my trouble. Then a second man stopped. They volunteered to push my car off the road, away from heavy traffic. The first man offered to drive to the Phillips station at Sixth and Schwarz Road, where I have traded for many years and tell them of my problem. A city policeman, Officer Shanks, also came, understood my situation and sat his patrol car, with light

flashing, behind my car to protect it from oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, I did not get the names of the two men who first came to my aid. I wish they would contact me so I can thank them adequately. The Phillips station operator, Richard Haig, sent one of his mechanics with a can of gas. He poured a few gallons into my car’s tank so I could drive to the station. At the station, another mechanic filled the car’s tank. Haig refused payment for his service call and the few gallons of gas to restart my car. He took payment only for the extra gas to fill the tank. So, my everlasting thanks to the five men who came to my aid. Alan C. Fisher, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 1, 1916: years “The ‘sand hogs’ ago at work in pier IN 1916 No. 3 of the new Kaw river bridge struck a nine-inch vein of coal thirty-two feet below the surface of the river at 8 o’clock this morning. The air chamber of pier No. 3 was turned forthwith into a coal mine, and it was proposed to use the fuel excavated below the pier in the firebox of one of the river barges. Although piers four and five at the north side of the river go the same distance to bed rock as pier No. 3, no trace of coal was found when the excavations were made for those piers.... In quality it appears as good as most of the coal mined in this part of Kansas.” “That newspapers probably did more to ‘make Kansas free’ than any other agency is one of the principal points made in a two-volume history of ‘Journalism in Territorial Kansas’ just completed by Herbert Flint, an instructor in English at the University of Kansas. The history is in the form of a thesis submitted this week as part of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree, and represents a year’s work.... It is illustrated with facsimiles of the early papers, photographs of the pioneer editors of ‘Bleeding Kansas,’ and is designed to cover the entire field of Territorial journalism from every standpoint.” “Preliminary plans for a mammoth semi-centennial celebration at Kansas University, probably next October, were made yesterday afternoon at a meeting of a committee of forty representing all school interests.... Pageants depicting the development of the University, special music for the occasion composed by members of the University fine arts faculty, and the securing of nationally known speakers, were urged. That if there is a celebration, it should be a big one, was the consensus of opinion.... The celebration probably will last three days, coming on the weekend when a big football game is scheduled at Lawrence.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

HOW VIRGIN ISLANDS COULD DECIDE GOP RACE ‘Unbound’ delegates could have outsize role picking nominee Paul Singer and Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

The path to the Republican nomination this year could run through the Virgin Islands. WASHINGTON

The tiny U.S. territory is one of a handful of places where Republicans can select “unbound” delegates who have the ability to cast a vote on the first ballot at the national convention for any candidate they choose. These hundred or so delegates nationwide — the Virgin Islands has nine — could emerge as critical power brokers at the party’s convention in Cleveland if GOP front-runner Donald Trump fails to amass the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

This is not just hypothetical: “That is how the 1976 Republican convention was decided as President Ford had less than a majority of delegates pledged to him but won the lion’s share of uncommitted delegates in states such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York,” said Frank Donatelli, a former Republican National Committee official. These uncommitted delegates are “where the leading candidate will look to get delegates to go over the top.”

The total number of unbound GOP delegates is a bit unclear, because each state sets its own delegate rules. A furious shadow campaign is underway in several pockets of the country to influence who nabs these spots. This weekend, North Dakota Republicans will meet in a convention to select 25 convention delegates who, in addition to the three state officials with reserved delegate spots, can all be unbound in Cleveland. State GOP Executive Director Roz Leighton

said presidential campaigns have been recruiting people in the state to run for delegate spots, so they can count on having supporters in the delegation at the convention. Pennsylvania will have 17 bound delegates selected in the state’s Republican primary April 26, but 54 Keystone State delegates will be unbound. Colorado will select delegates the first week of April who can v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Pro-government activists welcome Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Washington.

SKIRMISH AT ERDOGAN VISIT Protesters and supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gathered outside the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. As Erdogan spoke at Brookings, boasting of his popularity among voters and trying to counter his image as an authoritarian ruler, outside, some Turkish journalists said they were ejected from the building by Erdogan’s security and harassed. IN NEWS

The first trading day of 2016 was terrible, but nothing compared to the epic collapse in stocks that followed. When Wall Street opened Jan. 4, the Dow plunged 276 points. By the end of the week, the blue-chip stock gauge was down nearly 1,100 points, or 6.2% — its worst start to a year ever. A bull market in doom and gloom took hold quickly, and the selling intensified. RBS, a major global bank, told clients to “sell everything.” Longtime mega-bear Albert Edwards, a global strategist at Societe Generale best known for his prediction of an “ice age” for financial markets, warned that the U.S. stock market could fall 75%. Warnings of a repeat of the financial crisis in 2008-09 grew louder. The opening-year freefall got Wall Street the closest it had been to a bear market since the financial crisis. Now, the stock market has staged a stunning comeback. Thursday, as trading ended for the first quarter, the damage had been erased, and the stock market was back in the black for 2016, just 3% from all-time highs. “Investors came into the year believing the financial markets were in the critical care unit but have come around to realize that the health of the U.S. and global economy, while hardly stellar, are not as dire as first thought,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust. The bears definitely had a lot of ammunition to make their case: Chinese stocks were crashing. There were fears Beijing’s debtfueled economy would follow v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

U.S., China strike deals on climate, nuclear security

Disputes remain, both leaders say, but solutions are possible David Jackson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Despite ongoing disputes over cyber espionage, intellectual property, and the South China Sea, the United States and China struck deals Thursday on nuclear security and climate change. The two nations agreed to sign the new global climate change agreement on April 22, the day it

becomes operational; the agreement reached in Paris late last year calls on countries to develop plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “We’re committing to formally join it as soon as possible this year, and we urge other countries to do the same,” President Obama said before meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the bi-annual nuclear security summit. As for that topic, the United States and China issued a joint statement pledging more cooperation on efforts to improve the storage and security of nuclear material in an effort to prevent

nuclear terrorism. Praising China’s newly created “Nuclear Security Center of Excellence,” Obama said that “I believe we can deepen our cooperation, including against nuclear smuggling.” Obama said the United States and China also are working together on other counter-terrorism measures and efforts to address the threats of North Korea’s nuclear program. The president pledged “candid” exchanges about various disputes with China, including human rights and allegations that it has engaged in intellectual property theft and cyber espio-

nage against the USA. Obama also cited “maritime” disputes, an apparent reference to Chinese territorial claims and military activity in the South China Sea that have caused friction with neighboring nations. “We have deep concerns about

our ability to protect the intellectual property of our companies,” Obama said. “And we care deeply about human rights.” Xi, who also cited “disputes and disagreements” with the United States, has denied accusations of cyber espionage and intellectual property theft. While Xi said the two nations should “seek active solutions through dialogue and consultation,” he acknowledged that won’t always be possible. In those cases, he said, the United States and China should manage problems “constructively, and avoid misunderstanding and misperception or escalation.”

Static with journalists undercuts Turkish president’s image efforts Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sought to counter his image as an authoritarian ruler during a speech Thursday, but his henchmen issued a different message as they sought to intimidate and oust journalists at the venue. As Erdogan pledged anew to fight terrorism and help Syrian refugees while boasting of his own popularity with voters, the Turkish security detail confronted journalists and protesters at the Brookings Institution. “You cannot find any country that pursues high standards and human rights and democracy like Turkey, and we want to be treated fairly,” Erdogan said. WASHINGTON

Outside, a Turkish security official grabbed a banner that looked like a stuffed tiger from raucous protesters, while other security officials confronted a U.S. journalist and a Turkish journalist in separate incidents. Inside Brookings, U.S. security officials and a Secret Service agent protected a Turkish journalist from being evicted by Turkish security personnel. The reporter, Adem Arslan, said he was ejected from the building, then brought back in by Brookings staff who insisted he was their guest. Arslan works for Ozgur Dusunce (“Free Thought”) Daily, which is owned by followers of Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish religious leader and onetime political ally of Erdogan’s whom the Turkish president accuses of trying to overthrow his government.

Arslan said two men with Erdogan’s team told him in Turkish, “You’re not allowed to be in here, you’re a traitor.” Once he was back in the building, he said, they threatened to kill him when he went out. Erdogan, asked about his government’s arrests of journalists and seizure of papers, said false information has been disseminated in the West by his country’s enemies. “Those who are incarcerated journalists in Turkey have been subject to litigation, and their verdicts are pending,” Erdogan said. “These people have already been convicted of engaging in terrorism.” As Erdogan spoke in the USA, an explosion caused by a bombladen car in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir killed at least seven police officers.

WASHINGTON While making final preparations for his nuclear security summit, President Obama spent Thursday discussing challenges in Asia that span North Korea’s nuclear weapons to China’s military and territorial ambitions. Obama, who welcomed world leaders to the White House for a working dinner, held private meetings earlier in the day with the top officials from Japan, South Korea, and China, sessions devoted mainly to North Korea’s nukes. “We continue to face the threat from North Korean provocations,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser for strategic communications. “We have to take necessary measures to protect ourselves and our allies.” The president held a joint meeting in the morning with Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korea President Park Geun Hye. Though they are rivals on many issues, Abe and Park are more united over concerns about North Korea, which in recent months has conducted a fourth nuclear bomb test and launched a long-range rocket into space. Dan Kritenbrink, senior director for Asian affairs at the National Security Council, said he expects Obama, Abe, and Park to “clearly demonstrate their unity in our commitment and

choose whether to declare a preference. Any delegate doing so before being selected will be bound to that choice for the first ballot at the convention. Colorado GOP spokesman Kyle Kohli said it is likely the state’s 37-member delegation “will be mixed, but it’s possible it could be almost completely bound or completely unbound.” Guam has nine unbound delegates. Nowhere is the fight for these coveted delegates more intense than the Virgin Islands. A Michigan political consultant, John Yob, moved to the islands last year and campaigned heavily to become an uncommitted delegate. His work paid off: He emerged as the top vote-getter among the 300 or so Republicans who participated in the

islands’ caucuses March 10. Despite a big contingent of other delegate candidates who were committed to presidential contenders, Yob and the five other unbound delegates prevailed, including his wife, Erica. Yob, who worked on Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s unsuccessful presidential campaign and the White House bids of John McCain and Rick Santorum, has a bit of an inside track on delegateselection process. He wrote a book on it, Chaos: The Outsider’s Guide to a Contested Republican National Convention, published in February. In it, he singled out the unique role U.S. territories could play as “free agents” in a brokered convention. Yob told USA TODAY he has been visiting the Virgin Islands since 2009 and had no ulterior motives in relocating to the territory last year. “I

The chairman of the local party, John Canegata, moved to disqualify Yob and the other unbound delegates, citing a party rule that requires delegates to accept their positions in writing. The battle has underscored how much clout a territory with roughly 105,000 residents and a

few thousand registered Republicans, could have in the wildly unpredictable GOP contest. Holland Redfield, the GOP’s national committeeman from the territory, automatically gets a slot as an unbound delegate to the convention. Redfield, a radio host, said Virgin Islands Republicans revel in the attention from their party’s candidates and use it to push local issues, such as boosting federal spending on Medicaid in the islands. “We are using the maximum leverage to make sure the candidate we elect understands the uniqueness of the U.S. territories,” he said. “If I’m uncommitted and I’m dating three girls at the same time, I want to get the best deals for me and the best marriage.”

North Korea also topped the agenda when Obama met in the afternoon with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Rhodes noted that U.S. officials have long been talking with Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean officials about the threat posed by North Korea, and “we’re in discussions about the deployment of additional missile defense” in the area. Obama and Xi also have other topics to discuss as well. They include Chinese military expansion into the South China Sea, which is creating friction with neighboring countries, and allegations that Chinese interests have hacked into U.S. computers. While the topic is not expected to surface in the Obama-Xi talks, China has also become an issue in the American presidential campaign to replace Obama. Republican front-runner Donald Trump says China is using trade rules to take jobs away from the U.S. China, Japan, and South Korea are key participants in the fourth bi-annual Nuclear Security Summit, an event Obama first organized in 2010.

suit. Oil was in freefall. Bank stocks were tanking. The U.S. dollar was climbing, delivering a hit to earnings of U.S. multinationals and emerging markets. Global markets turned turbulent and wildly volatile. The Bank of Japan pushed borrowing costs into negative territory for the first time. Adding to the market’s negative zeitgeist, Wall Street feared the Federal Reserve was on the verge of making a big mistake and hiking short-term interest rates too soon and too much in 2016. At the peak of pessimism Feb. 11, all of the major U.S. stock indexes were down more than 10% of the year. A bear market, or a drop of 20% or more from a prior high, looked all but certain. That day, the Dow Jones industrial average closed nearly 15% off its record high in May 2015. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 was down 14.2%, and the

Nasdaq composite was down 18.2%. “It feels like global stocks packed in an entire year’s worth of ebbs, flows and emotion into January alone,” says Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Then everything changed. One by one, the fears and obstacles that had put the U.S. stock market on the brink of its first bear market in seven years suddenly dissipated, creating tailwinds where there were once headwinds. The market began its march back, leading to a rally of 13% that has pushed stocks out of danger. Along the way, there were key turning points, market-saving moves and words from influential market players that put a floor under stock prices and delivered a jolt of newfound market momentum and sparked renewed optimism in stocks. Roots for the rebound go back to Jan. 27, when Federal Reserve

chair Janet Yellen surprised markets by not hiking interest rates and sending out a warning flag regarding the mounting risks from abroad. “The Fed’s soothing words helped save the day,” says Dan Seiver, a faculty member in the economics department at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. Edward Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research, said this in a research report: “Thanks Again, Fairy Godmother! Snow White didn’t have a fairy godmother. However, we do: Fed Chair Janet Yellen.” On Feb. 11, the same day the stock market bottomed out for the year, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon sent a vote of confidence to his beleaguered bank’s shares — and the stock market as a whole — when he plunked down more than $25 million to buy half a million shares of JPMorgan. “A lot of credit has been given to Jamie Dimon and his purchase

of JPMorgan shares, and while that probably helped sentiment, I don’t think it should be cited as the cause,” says Paul Hickey, cofounder of Bespoke Investment Group. Even before the nadir Feb. 11, there were signs beneath the surface the market was in bottoming mode. Energy prices had stopped going down, and the number of stocks hitting fresh 52-week lows was no longer expanding. It’s no coincidence that on the same day stocks bottomed, so did U.S.-produced oil when its price hit a 13-year low of $26.21 a barrel. That was another key “turning point” that sparked the market’s recovery, says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. When oil, which was down nearly 30% in 2016 alone and 80% from its high, stabilized, that lifted pressure off energy firms that were struggling to make ends meet and pay off loans because of

the crashing price of oil. Rising oil prices also relieved pressure in credit markets tied to the oil patch. In the weeks that followed, the stock market got another boost from the additional stimulus measures from the European Central Bank, steps by China to steady its economy and wild currency swings, a slew of solid economic data in the USA that allayed recession fears and a sharp rally in distressed assets powered by bearish investors reversing their negative bets. Lumped together, these drivers put the rally on a more sustainable path, says Bo Bejstrup Christensen, chief analyst at Danske Invest. Yellen added to the bullish tone and turnaround late in the quarter when in mid-March, the Fed dialed back its plans for interest rate hikes this year from four to two. Next up: the second quarter.

Police union hires cop who shot teenager

In Chicago, activists express outrage; union backs white officer’s hiring as janitor Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

The city’s police union has hired the cop facing first-degree murder charges in the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald to work as a janitor. Jason Van Dyke, who was charged in November for the incident that set off weeks of protests in the city, will be paid $12 per hour. News of the hiring by the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, which was first reported by WFLD-TV in Chicago, has spurred outrage from activists in the city. The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Catholic priest and prominent activist on the city’s South Side, CHICAGO

called the move by the union “a disgrace” and a setback for efforts to restore the fraught relations between the police department and the African-American community. “The Police Union says to Chicago ... we don’t give a damn what he did, what you think, he is one of ours, and we are going to take care of him,” Pfleger wrote on his Facebook page. The union has shown support for Van Dyke since he was charged on the same day the city was forced by court order to release chilling dashcam video that showed Van Dyke, who is white, fire 16 shots at the black teen. Van Dyke was charged 400 days after the incident. Van Dyke opened fire within

The release of dashcam video showing the shooting of Laquan McDonald sparked demonstrations in Chicago late last year. seconds of arriving on the scene, saying that he feared for his life. At least five police officers at the scene backed up Van Dyke in offi-

cial police statements following the shooting, according to investigative documents released by the city. Van Dyke told investigators

that McDonald was moving toward him when he started firing. The dashcam video, however, appears to show McDonald moving away from Van Dyke when the officer opened fire. Van Dyke was suspended without pay. The officer’s attorney, Dan Herbert, had said that Van Dyke was having trouble finding work since the incident. Van Dyke, who has pleaded not guilty, is free on bail awaiting trial. He began working nights at FOP headquarters about three weeks ago. Dean Angelo Sr., the union president, defended the hiring. “We do this for our membership and this is what the FOP stands for, fraternalism,” Angelo told WFLD. “This officer is in a very difficult situation financially; he has a family and we would do it for anybody that works as a Chicago Police officer.”

ISIL’s stolen treasures in demand ‘Gray market’ is hard to track even as Palmyra is back in Syrian control Jim Michaels USA TODAY

The recapture of the ancient city of Palmyra by Syrian forces takes away a key revenue source of looted antiquities for the Islamic State, but global demand for the stolen valuables persists despite international efforts to stop the sales. The Islamic State has earned millions of dollars from the sale of antiquities looted from throughout Syria and Iraq by establishing an elaborate system to smuggle and sell the goods on the open market. “This is carefully managed,” said Amr Al-Azm, an associate professor at Shawnee State University and former official in the Syrian government’s antiquities department. “It’s a resource they exploit as they need to.” Palmyra was recaptured last weekend by Russian-backed Syrian forces, nearly a year after the Islamic State, also called ISIL or ISIS, seized the city and destroyed some of its iconic Roman-era structures and looted other artifacts it could sell. Countless antiquities already are on the market, which has proved difficult to curb. Criminal cases are hard to prosecute without evidence that a dealer or broker knew an item had been pilfered. “It’s a huge weak link,” said Tess Davis, executive director of the Antiquities Coalition, a group that pushes for action to crack down on antiquities smuggling. Determining the origin of some common items, such as RoWASHINGTON

man coins, is a challenge. Unique items often are kept off the market until there is less scrutiny. The Internet has made it easy to market items to a global audience. The State Department has made efforts to warn dealers and auction houses about the looted pieces, but unscrupulous dealers might look the other way about their origin. “With antiquities it’s very much a gray market,” Davis said. The Islamic State recognizes the financial windfall in looted antiquities. It established an antiquities division, according to intelligence gathered in a U.S. raid in Syria last year that killed a top leader of the militant group. “ISIL does not just passively tax the sale of antiquities by others,” Andrew Keller, a top State Department official, said in a speech last year. “It actively con-

Despite the damage and looting, much of Palmyra’s ancient UNESCO world heritage site remains intact. trols the trade to ensure maximum profit.” Intelligence gathered from the raid showed that the Islamic State issued licenses for people to loot, collected a tax on sales and prevented unauthorized people from stealing from archaeological sites.

Dealers and brokers are becoming more aware of the illicit trade, which should help reduce the demand for the items. The FBI last year warned art dealers that anyone purchasing looted items from Syria or Iraq could be prosecuted under laws against financing terrorism. Despite the Islamic State’s looting and rampage, the ancient part of Palmyra, a UNESCO world heritage site, appears to have remained intact. Last year, the militant group’s initial destruction of the city included the Temple of Bel, the Arch of Triumph and Baalshamin Temple. “There is still quite a lot left,” Al-Azm said. “It could have been a lot worse.” Syrian and Russian officials are just beginning to assess the dam-

age. On Thursday, Russian engineers arrived in Syria to help clear mines and improvised explosives from the city. There has been limited new damage. Statues and other items that had not been removed from the main museum before the militants seized the city were defaced, said Michael Danti, academic director of the Cultural Heritage Initiatives at the American School of Oriental Research. Over the past year, the Islamic State has flooded the market with items looted not only from Palmyra, but also from the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and other areas the terror group controls. At its peak last year the Islamic State controlled about 5,000 archaeological sites, according to the State Department.

Stocks that took a beating in ’15 fight for big gains in Q1 Matt Krantz USA TODAY

It was a painful first quarter for most investors. But at least they have something to show for it. Investors, who at one point had a nearly $3 trillion loss for 2016, wound up making more than $75 billion during the tumultuous first quarter, according to data from Wilshire Associates based on the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index. The fact investors have any profits at all is impressive given the fact major market indexes had losses of 10% to 15% as of the middle of February. Many of the biggest gains, at least on a percentage basis, came from the stocks that had been beaten up the worst last year. Consider the 10 stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that posted the biggest gains during the first quarter, including materials companies FreeportMcMoRan and Newmont

S&P 500 WINNERS Biggest winners in the S&P 500 this year: % change Company YTD 2015 Freeport-McMoRan 51.4% -71% Newmont Mining 48.5% -4.8% Urban Outfitters 46% -35.2% Michael Kors 42.7% -46.7% Wynn Resorts 35.9% -53.5% PVH 33.9% -42.5% Range Resources 33.5% -54% Cabot Oil & Gas 28.8% -40.3% EQT 28.4% -31.1% Exelon 28.2% -25.1% SOURCES: S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

Mining and retailer Urban Outfitters. All 10 were down last year on average by 40%, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. “I’d call it a whiplash rebound,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank, referring to the fact that most of the big first-quarter winners had been big losers coming into the year. The broad

data certainly bear that out. More than three-quarters of the 127 S&P 500 stocks that jumped 10% or more this year were down in 2015. Freeport-McMoRan, a company that explores for minerals, oil and natural gas, was the best stock in the S&P 500 during the first quarter on a percentage basis, jumping 53%. That gain is a powerful recovery from last year, when the stock dropped a staggering 71%. “It’s like gravity: The farther the stocks fall, the more they bounce,” says Garrett Nelson, stock analyst at BB&T Capital Markets. The weak dollar this year has also lifted materials stocks like Freeport and also Newmont since it has elevated the prices of commodities, Nelson says. Apparel seller Urban Outfitters is another big winner. The stock is the third-best performer in the first quarter, rising 46%. Again, it was a story of a stock that was down big in 2015, when Urban Outfitters dropped 35%.

he rocky first quarter on Wall Street and big rebound that turned a 10% loss into a tiny gain for the year doesn’t guarantee the stock market will be off to the races the rest of the year. In fact, Wall Street pros say there are a slew of headwinds that will continue to weigh on stocks. And while the stock market can continue to grind higher from here, and perhaps make new record highs, the upside will be limited as old fears and new ones re-enter the investment picture. “It’s going to be sideways action from here,” says Edward Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research. It’s not that stocks have a big risk of going down a lot, it’s just that he doesn’t see equities breaking out to the upside in a big way. The good news is with the Federal Reserve out of the picture now that it has said it is in no real rush to hike interest rates, stocks will continue to find buyers in the coming months, Yardeni says. But on the downside, he says, investors must still deal with an array of political and geopolitical events that could put downward pressure on stock prices this summer. The British vote in June on whether to remain in the European Union, or the so-called Brexit vote, and the political conventions in July could cause road bumps for stocks. What’s more, the U.S. stock market isn’t cheap anymore and is dealing with a less-than-robust corporate earnings picture. “This summer we will have more global anxiety on a possible Brexit,” Yardeni says. “We will also get into the Democratic and Republican (GOP) conventions, and the GOP event could be a real circus, which could impact markets.” Many Wall Street pros expect the rest of 2016 to mimic 2015. In short, the market will go through periods of volatility and end the year little changed. The current momentum could propel stocks to record highs, argues Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust. The key for stocks is if profit growth picks up and corporate CEOs make upbeat comments about the future when first-quarter earnings season kicks off in a few weeks, he adds. For stocks to really gain momentum, the business conditions must get better, he says.

Forget the steep losses — tech’s back in business Quarter ends with a bullish bounce in dramatic rebound John Shinal

@johnshinal Special for USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO After starting the year with a painful 15% correction that looked headed for bear market territory, technology stocks staged a dramatic comeback during the last six weeks. Twenty-two of the 30 tech firms with the richest market caps saw their shares rise during

the quarter. The rebound came as the Nasdaq clawed nearly all the way back from its mid-February lows to finish the first quarter down 2.5%. The bullish bounce provided yet more evidence of the wisdom in the old trader’s maxim “buy when everyone else is selling.” The stars of the quarter were mostly established companies that have been public for decades. Telecom firms AT&T and Verizon posted double-digit share price gains as tech investors headed for safety. So did Yahoo, Oracle and chipequipment maker Applied Materials. Along with Verizon, the best tech stocks of the quarter among the 50 most valuable were Tai-

weight — Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft — had a mixed quarter and were not among the leaders. Apple rose 4%, Alphabet fell 2%, and Microsoft shares ended

the quarter roughly flat. Facebook, the fourth-most valuable tech firm, climbed 9% on surging revenue growth and better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. Amazon, however, the secondbest large-cap tech stock last year, faltered badly. It fell 12%, by far the worst performance among the five most valuable tech firms. And in a continuing demonstration of why there’s been an arbitrage trade on VMware and its parent company, EMC, since October, the former dropped 7.5% while latter rose 4%. The worst of the laggards were two former high-flying Internet companies: Twitter plunged 29% and LinkedIn got crushed, losing almost half its value.

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

After one of the most volatile quarters since the financial crisis, Wall Street kicks off the second quarter with the release of the government’s March jobs report, a closely watched economic data point that could set the tone for the stock market in the coming weeks and months. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500, which was down more than 10% back in February, rallied back sharply and finished the first quarter up 0.8%. The employment picture has been a bright spot for the U.S. economy. The economy generated an average of 229,000 new jobs last year. In February, the latest job data available, 242,000 new jobs were created and the unem-

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

ployment rate came in at 4.9%. According to Dow Jones, economists forecast 213,000 new jobs were created in March, which would continue the consistent 200,000-plus monthly readings. Normally, markets would shudder at the thought of a really strong jobs number coming in as it would raise fears of the Federal Reserve speeding up its interest rate-hike timetable. But given Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s dovish speech Tuesday, when she pretty much said the Fed was in no rush to hike rates, given market turbulence and economic headwinds from abroad, this month’s jobs number is unlikely to play into the Fed’s thinking as much as it might have in prior months. Still, the jobs report is critical from an economic standpoint, because a strong job market is a sign of a healthy economy, and one with the capacity to grow.

Strong sales leave Fitbit with adrenaline rush Q: Can Fitbit stay in the game? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Fitbit (FIT) was selling fitness trackers before they were cool. Now the company is trying to show it can keep its cool as other corporate behemoths want a piece of the digital wearables market. The San Francisco-based company, which continues to have the leading market share of fitness trackers despite efforts by Apple (AAPL) and others to enter the business, reassured investors Thursday that its newest products are selling well. Shares of Fitbit jumped $1.75, or 13.1%, to $15.15 after the company said its latest models, Blaze and Alta, sold more than a million units each in March. Investors saw the “strong consumer response” as a sign the company can evolve from low-end fitness trackers to more fully capable smartwatches and wearables, Mizuho stock research analysts Betty Chen said in a note to clients. Investors should expect more new product announcements in 2016. The company needs to prove its brand holds appeal as wearables take on more capabilities than just counting steps. Shares of the stock are still down about 50% the past 12 months as investors fear growth will slow amid tougher competition. Analysts, though, think the stock could be worth $23 a share in 18 months and that revenue will grow by 31% this year.

lows from our belief that, over the next five years, China will show modest progress in economic rebalancing and credit growth deceleration.” The agency projected annual economic growth of at least 6% for China over the next three years but said government spending could top “what we believe to be sustainable levels” of 30% to 35% of gross domestic product. It projected China’s GDP to top $10,000 per capita by 2019, up from $8,200 in 2016. S&P lauded anti-corruption efforts and initiatives to privatize certain state-owned businesses

but said the pace of those changes “may be insufficient” to maintain strong economic growth. The agency is particularly concerned that Chinese political leaders will turn to government expenditures to bolster the economy instead of allowing market dynamics to take over. In contrast, S&P praised Hong Kong’s fiscal policies and strong economy, where GDP per capita is $44,500 in 2016. But the economy-within-aneconomy system that is the territory of Hong Kong cannot completely separate itself from China’s woes, S&P said.

‘Rick-opedia’ Linklater rocks back to 1980 with ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’ Blake Jenner, left, who stars as Jake, says director Richard Linklater helped him get into the spirit of the times.

Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

Director Richard Linklater knew he wanted to travel back to 1980 for Everybody Wants Some!!, a semi-autobiographical look at his college experience. But he wasn’t quite sure if the movie would capture the big comedy feel he was after. During disco dance lessons for his young cast of actors, it became shockingly apparent that Linklater was going to be just fine. “Maybe it was the disco shirts. One of mine had this swan on it. It was cool,” says lead actor Blake Jenner, 23, sitting cabana-side at the Sunset Marquis hotel with his director. “Or those tight pants.” “They were like, ‘You really wore these pants?’ ” adds Linklater, 55. “I was like, ‘Yeah, man, they were the thing.’ To see how the cast was discovering that period — the hair, the clothes, the music — it hit me: This was a really fun time in my life. And that shows in the movie.” Everybody Wants Some!! (now showing in New York and Los Angeles and expanding across the nation through April 15) is what Linklater calls the “spiritual sequel” to his 1993 classic Dazed and Confused, which inhabited small-town 1970s high school life. With a title taken from a rowdy Van Halen song, the new film follows Jenner’s freshman Jake as he moves into a house with fellow members of his university baseball team.

versity for two years and lived in a baseball house off-campus. “I showed up and it was 18 roommates in two houses. Just like the movie,” Linklater says. “We were like a fraternity. We’d have mixers with sororities. Animal House had only just come out. So we were like, this is kind of our own Animal House.” Linklater was resolute about capturing the 1980 mood, which skewed closer to the 1970s than the Reagan years. And he nailed the specifics. On the set, his cast called him “Rick-opedia” because of his encyclopedic knowledge of the era. He insisted on vintage Wilson A2000 baseball gloves and asked that a Farrah Fawcett poster to be replaced with a Susan Anton poster. (“Farrah was two years earlier.”) “You’ve got to be so adamant on everything. Music, cars, wardrobe, every detail,” Linklater says.

“You have to set a really strict tone. It’s like, if you make one mistake, we all fail.” His young actors were chosen for their ability to look effective on both the baseball field and in the disco club. Jenner, who starred as Ryder Lynn on Glee, knocked out killer auditions but was told he’d need to cover his buzz cut with a circa-1980 wig. “The hair was just bigger, longer,” Linklater says. “Back then, a guy would have a hair dryer. Caring about their hair at all, that was a new thing.” Jenner knew he had captured the time period as he cruised down the street in a classic Oldsmobile 442 with his new hair on his way to disco lessons. “I was in love with that car. And I was driving around playing My Sharona in my head, kind of chillin’, checking out the girls,” Jenner says. “And it was like, ‘All right, we’re doing this.’ ”

Etken said industrywide country club business has begun to bounce back from a sharp downturn during the recession. At LCC, she said a new generation of residents are now starting country club memberships. “Our average age of members is 50, but the average age of new members is 42,” she said. “In the industry we have a pretty young membership. As a result, we’re trying to do more family events at the club. We want

the club to match our members’ lives.” The club currently is in a period of community outreach. The club will have an open house from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on April 15 where the general public can tour the club and sample some of its appetizers and cocktails. On April 11, the club also is opening up its 18-hole golf course for play by the general public. As for future plans, Et-

ken said the club — which is owned by its members — is considering other renovations, with a plan to improve the outdoor deck space of the clubhouse high on the list of possible projects. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

3 ways to tame student loan debt, afford a mortgage

Real Estate Matters

Student loans can be included in the buyer’s debt-to-income ratio By Marcie Geffner Associated Press

the Federal Housing Administration, any student loans will be included unless the payments have been deferred for at least 12 months. In that case, the payments can be excluded from DTI.

buying a house instead of a condominium can improve a buyer’s DTI because homeowners association dues are included in a condo payment but not a house payment. “Somebody might qualify to buy a $150,000 house but not a $150,000 condo because the association fees might be a little bit too high,” Dacey says. Buying a home in an area with lower property taxes or paying an upfront fee to decrease the mortgage interest rate also could help. The upfront fee is known as discount points or a buy-down.

It’s tough out there Only 33 percent of 2015 homebuyers were firsttime purchasers, according to a survey released by the National Association of Realtors. That was the lowest proportion since 1987, excluding 2014, when the proportion was also 33 percent. What’s more, 22 percent of millennial buyers said saving for a down payment was difficult and 54 percent of that group cited — you guessed it — student loans as a factor. Real estate brokers are concerned about this issue, says Wendy English, sales manager at Century 21 Commonwealth in Medfield, Mass. “Setting aside for the down payment and closing costs is difficult because their money is going toward living expenses and paying student loan debt,” English says. “They might want to buy, but they have that burden of the student loans.” 12,563 rubber duckies One way to understand the impact is to try the make-your-owninfographic function at the website of the Young Invincibles, an advocacy organization in Washington, D.C. Plug in, say, $25,000 of student loan debt and you’ll discover that’s equivalent to about 60 percent of the average down payment to buy a home. It’s also equal to about 2.4 years of average rent payments, 676 toaster ovens or 12,563 rubber duckies. Student loans are a significant factor for many young adults in their prime firsttime homebuying Shutterstock Photo years.

Make preparations for closing on your new home

Linda Ditch

JUAN HERNANDEZ, AN AIDE TO A HARTFORD, CONN., CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, STANDS outside Hartford City Hall, Monday, March 7. Hernandez, 25, is among millennials nationwide with student debt who are worried about being able to qualify for a loan and come up with a down payment for a home.

Friday, April 1, 2016

he light at the end of the homebuying tunnel is shining brightly. The day has come for closing on the property. Here are some tips and information to make these final moments go smoothly. Most closings take place at the title company that performed the title search on the property since it also manages the funds already paid toward the purchase (earnest money or a deposit) as well as the bills to be paid for services such as home inspections and appraisals. Occasionally the closing will happen at the mortgage lender’s or the realtor’s office. An estimated closing date may be a part of the sale contract. The end of the month is a popular time for closings. So are Fridays and the last business day before a holiday. It may be difficult to schedule time with the closing agent on these busy days, so try for the middle of the week in the last two weeks of the month. Plus, you’ll want to give yourself some room to maneuver should there be a delay. Keep in mind that the closing will need to take place before your loan commitment expires

ONE THING to keep in mind when it comes to closing on a new home is that the closing date needs to be before your loan commitment expires or any ratelock agreements on the loan expire. Contributed Photo

and before any rate-lock agreements on the loan expire. Once the closing date is set, it is time to schedule the movers and obtain homeowner insurance. Also, contact the utility companies to arrange for the transfer into your name on the closing date. Also, schedule a locksmith to come out to re-key the house once you’ve closed. A final walk-through of the house can be scheduled a few hours before the closing, but the day before is better in case issues arise. Bring the home inspector’s report and the seller’s property condition disclosure form with you. Your home inspector can be part of the walk-through at an additional cost. You will want to turn on and off the lights and appliances, plus the heating and cooling systems, check the faucets and toilets, and test the electrical outlets. At least 24 hours before the closing, the lender will send you a HUD-1 Settlement Statement, which will detail all of the costs to be paid at the closing, plus any money already paid, such as earnest money, a deposit or a loan application fee. You will need to bring a cashier’s check

for the closing costs. A personal check is not acceptable. It is a good idea to have your attorney review the mortgage documents in advance. Plus, gather together all of the paperwork you have accumulated through the home-buying process (inspection, appraisal, contract, good-faith estimate, etc.) and don’t forget to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license or stateissued ID, passport, or military ID. The people present at the closing will be the closing agent (who works either for the title company or the lender), the seller, attorneys for both the buyer and seller, and the realtors for both the buyer and seller. The closing agent will walk you through the many documents that transfer ownership of the property to you, as well as all of the loan documents. As you go through the papers, double check all of the numbers and the spellings of names, addresses, etc. Typos do happen, and occasionally the paperwork will need to go back to the lender to be corrected. — Linda Ditch writes about the Lawrence real estate market.

NEW KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKERS COACH TODD BRADFORD WATCHES OVER PRACTICE Tuesday afternoon. Bradford left coaching for four years to help his father care for his cancer-stricken mother. Now he’s back on the sidelines with head coach David Beaty and the Jayhawks.

Bradford took time off for family, now he’s back By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

An only child, new Kansas University linebackers coach Todd Bradford felt needed at home by both parents, the cancer patient and the caretaker, so he put his career on hold. “I went home for what I expected to be a short time because my mom wasn’t doing well,” Bradford said during a recent interview in the chancellor’s lounge of the Anderson Family football

complex. “I was out for four seasons.” During his mother’s illness, Bradford said he never looked for a job. The way he saw it, he already had one, helping his father be there for his mother until she died nine days after Christmas. “Coach (David) Beaty called me near the end of her run and asked if I was interested in getting back in coaching if it goes how it looked like it was going,” Bradford said.

Nothing Beaty heard from anyone after that conversation changed his mind that this veteran coach who had worked in Conference USA, the Big Ten and the Big 12 was the voice of experience the staff needed. Bradford last worked at Maryland in 2011 as defensive coordinator for Randy Edsall in his first year at the school. Before that, Bradford was defensive coordinator at Southern Miss under current North Carolina coach Larry Fedora and twice coached

against Kansas in that job. He left his position as linebackers coach at Oklahoma State to take the Southern Miss job. Beaty hired Bradford after Kevin Kane returned to Northern Illinois to take a promotion to defensive coordinator. As part of doing their homework on Bradford, Beaty and defensive coordinator Clint Bowen both called Fedora. “Larry Fedora loved him to death and said you can’t

make a better hire,” Bowen said. “I’ve since talked to Larry and told him he was right. (Bradford) is very knowledgeable, great with the kids, a true football coach, great asset to our program. There’s a reason he worked his way up the ladder and became a successful coordinator on both the offensive and defensive side. The guy knows what he’s talking about.” A veteran of 25 years as Please see BRADFORD, page 3D

Bill Self named AP Coach of the Year By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, who this past season directed Kansas University to its 12th-straight Big 12 championship, the league postseason tourney title for the seventh time (in 13 tries) and a spot in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, on Thursday was named Associated Press national coach of the year. Self, who also won the award in 2009, became the eighth coach to win the trophy more than once. UCLA’s John Wooden won it five times and Indiana’s Bob Knight three times. Others to win two: Roy Williams, Ralph Miller, Guy Lewis, Eddie Sutton and Ray Meyer. “I would much rather be here with my team playing,” Self said at the AP’s

awards ceremony in Houston, site of the Final Four. “This is great and there are dozens of people worthy of this award. But to be in that group (of multiple winners) is something I’ll always respect and treasure.” It appears to be just a matter of time before Self lands a spot in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. A league title next year would tie UCLA’s record for consecutive conference titles. He has one national title and one national runner-up finish at the age of 53. “It was a great season. I don’t think you can call it a special season unless you get here (Houston),” said Self, who received 21 votes from an AP panel. Chris Mack of Xavier and Dana Altman of Oregon had 15 and 13 votes respectively. “Looking back, I don’t think I could ever

have a team sacrifice more or be more unselfish. It will always be one of my most special groups I’ve had.” Of his 33-5 squad, which was ranked No. 1 in the country five weeks, he said: “Coaches probably know better than anybody what team’s ceilings are. These kids played pretty close to it the last couple months. Nobody could say these kids didn’t have a great year. They battled hard and almost always rose to the occasion when they needed to.” Self’s players can see why he’s now won 2015-16 coach of year awards from the AP, the NABC, USA Today and Bleacher Report. “He’s awesome,” said forDavid J. Phillip/AP Photo ward Landen Lucas. “He’s somebody who has been KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF ANSWERS A QUESTION near his Associated Press Coach of the Year trophy at a news conference at the NCAA Final Four Please see HOOPS, page 3D Thursday in Houston.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE Houston — Denzel Valentine of Michigan State is The Associated Press Player of the Year, EAST edging out Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield by three votes. Valentine is the first Spartans player to win AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE the award. Valentine accepted the award SOUTH Thursday in Houston ahead of EAST the Final Four. Valentine received 34 of 65 votes from the national media panel that selects the weekly AP SOUTH Top 25. Hield was the only other player to receive votes. Hield and Valentine were the only unanimous selections to the AP All-America team. Valentine, a 6-foot-5 senior, led Michigan State (29-6) to a SOUTH second-place finish in the Big Ten regular season and was the conference player of the year. He averaged 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists while directing the Spartans’ offense. SOUTH He shot 44.7 percent from threepoint range and 85.3 percent from the free throw line.

George Washington NIT champion New York — George Washington won its first National Invitation Tournament championship, getting 18 points from Kevin Larsen and pulling away in the second half to beat Valparaiso, 76-60, on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. Patricio Garino had 14 points, Joe McDonald added 13 and the fourth-seeded Colonials (28-10) set a school record for wins in a season with a dominant performance over the final 20 minutes. They won their fourth straight game against a higher-seeded team and sent three senior starters out with a tournament trophy, softening the sting of being rebuffed by the NCAA selection committee. Tyler Cavanaugh, the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, scored 12 points. He was averaging 21.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in the NIT coming into the night.

GOLF

Hoffman leads Houston Open Houston — Charley Hoffman birdied half the holes on the Golf Club of Houston course Thursday and had just a single bogey to shoot an 8-under-par 64 and take the first-round lead of the Shell Houston Open. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland opened with a 3-under 69 and was tied for 32nd. Hoffman birdied the first four holes of his back nine, then added another birdie on No. 8. That broke him out of what had been a four-way tie for first with Dustin Johnson, Roberto Castro and Scott Brown, who all shot 65s. Hoffman’s performance puts him in contention to claim the final spot in next week’s Masters.

When things started to go right for Lawrence High’s baseball team on Thursday, everything started clicking. Clutch hits. Strong pitching. Impressive defense. Along with improved play, the Lions had some good fortune in a 7-3 victory over Shawnee Mission South at LHS, earning their first win of the year. For instance, senior center fielder Daonte Lowery came up to the plate with a one-run lead in the bottom of the sixth inning and two runners on base. When he swung, he was hoping to drive the pitch back up the middle. Instead, the left-handed hitter lifted the ball into right field, the ball carried and landed on the padded fence, bouncing over the wall for a threerun homer. “Honestly, I missed a hard-hit line drive up the middle,” said Lowery, a Johnson County CC commit. “Somehow the wind took it and carried it over the fence. I’m OK with that.” The Lions (1-3) made the most of their opportunities, scoring seven runs on four hits.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR SHORTSTOP BRAD KINCAID MAKES A BACKHANDED GRAB during the Lions’ 7-3 win against Shawnee Mission South on Thursday at LHS. After trailing by two runs early, LHS finally broke through in the fourth inning when sophomore catcher Reese Carmona and pinch-runner Alexander Guy scored on a throwing error during a sacrifice bunt. Guy was running for senior Parker Kirkpatrick, who hit a leadoff double down the left-field line. In the fifth inning, Lowery drew a leadoff walk and scored when Brad Kincaid drilled a pitch to the opposite field, with

the wind, for a groundrule double. Kincaid then stole third base and scored on a groundout by sophomore Devin Lauts. It was the first time this season the Lions had led after an inning. “We finally came out and started playing like a team today,” Kincaid said. “Just the intensity in the dugout, after being ahead, it was completely different. It feels so good getting this one finally.” The Raiders (0-2) tried to rally in the top of the

sixth inning. SM South senior Briley Buckley was hit by a pitch, junior Matthew Peck smacked a double down the left-field line and junior Trevor Johnson hit a RBI single to left, cutting the Lions’ lead to 4-3. But Kincaid, who entered with runners on the corners and one out, protected his team’s lead with a strikeout and forcing a comebacker to himself, completing the out by running to first base. “He’s one of the best

competitors we’ve ever had here, and that’s saying a lot,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said of Kincaid. “He wants the ball in the big situations.” In the field, senior right fielder Ivan Hollins made a diving catch in the fifth inning. His catch made up for a slip on the base paths when he tried to tag up on a fly ball from third base and tripped on air about 20 feet shy of the plate. In the seventh inning, sophomore Andrew Stewart, who moved from second base to shortstop, made a diving stop to his left and threw out a runner from the ground. There’s the old saying, “Hitting is contagious,” but with the team’s first win in sight, the Lions fed off of each other in every phase of the game. “I told them that my coffee is going to taste a heck of a lot better tomorrow morning,” Stoll said. “They deserved it. They kept grinding. Three losses and keep coming back to work every day. I’m happy for them.” SM South 020 001 0 — 3 6 3 Lawrence 000 223 x — 7 4 0 W — Ethan Taylor (1-0). L — Matthew Peck.

through it all. We can all rely on him, his understanding how to handle difficult situations. We committed to the things he said and got it done. He always is pushing for more. It’s about buying in and committing to what he’s talking about.” “He helped me out so much the four years I’ve been here,” said forward Perry Ellis. “I’ve grown so much, learned how to be successful on and off the court.” Asked why he’s so popular, junior Wayne Selden Jr., said: “Because he wins. I think everybody loves a winner. He’s a charismatic guy and he wins.” l

Quiet day on NBA front: After Cheick Diallo, Selden and Brannen Greene declared for the draft in successive days ... all was quiet on Thursday. “There’s nothing official (to report) at all,” KU coach Self said, asked by the Journal-World of the status of Svi Mykhailiuk and Carlton Bragg. He indicated they are still evaluating their futures with family members and/or mentors. A source close to Bragg told the J-W on Thursday “as of right now no news. If something comes up I will let you know.” Selden and Greene said they soon will hire agents.

Diallo left open the possibility that he could return by saying he had no immediate plans to sign with an agent. Self has told the J-W he expects Diallo, who has a high upside (which is valued by the NBA on Draft Day), to remain in the draft. l

Incentives: Self receives $100,000 for winning AP coach of the year as part of his KU contract. He nets $50,000 for winning the regular-season Big 12 title and $25,000 for the Big 12 tourney title. l

Jackson update: Josh Jackson, co-MVP of Wednesday’s McDonald’s Game and the country’s No. 1 recruit, reiterated on Wednesday he has decided on a college. The Detroit native’s finalists were KU, Michigan State and Arizona. He is expected to announce sometime after playing in the Nike Hoop Summit on April 9 in Portland, Ore. “I’m really waiting for an opportunity where I can be home, be around my family and close friends,” he said of his announcement date. “I really want to (announce) around the people who have been supporting me the whole way through.” He added: “There was definitely a point in time where I was so confused about where to go to school. I was just thinking about it and it was tearing me apart, it was really stressing me out. I feel relieved and I finally know in my heart which school I want to go to.”

Lenexa — Free State starting pitcher Trevor Munsch proved on Thursday that he has the ability to pitch in the Big 12 Conference next year, but unfortunately for the FSHS senior and the Firebirds, so did his counterpart. Munsch and Shawnee Mission Northwest senior pitcher Jared Marolf — a Kansas State University commit — went back and forth putting up zeros, but the Cougars came through late with two runs in the sixth for a 2-0 victory. “It’s awesome. I think it’s the best type of game, personally,” said Munsch, who has signed to pitch at the University of Oklahoma next spring, said. “We didn’t get the outcome that we wanted to, but I’ll get better from this. There were a lot of 0-2 pitches that I left down in the middle of the zone. They got the key hit when they needed to, and we didn’t.” Munsch kept the Cougars off of the board for the first five innings, but allowed a leadoff double to Javier Pena in the sixth. After Munsch struck out Dylan Nedved, Pena then moved to third on a wild pitch with Garrett Stephens at the plate. The wild pitch ended Munsch’s day, as FSHS coach Mike Hill to the bullpen. Free State (4-1) will travel to Olathe North at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Bradford CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

a college football coach, Bradford once was offensive coordinator for Brigham Young. He has known Beaty since KU’s head coach was working in the high school ranks. Bradford signed one of Beaty’s players, Justin Gent, who went on to become a starting linebacker for Oklahoma State. When asked what Bradford brings to the program, players and staff mates quickly mention his ability to explain things clearly. “When they can see what you’re telling them is working that helps them to buy in even more,” Bradford said. “Kids crave coaching when they can see you’re coaching them and they’re doing better by doing what you say.” A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, and a 1986 graduate of Southern Utah, Bradford, 52, has coached at, in order, Southern Utah, New Hampshire, Lehigh, Eastern Michigan, Louisiana Tech, Wisconsin, Middle Tennessee State, BYU, Oklahoma State, Southern Miss and Maryland. He has been assigned to Dallas and the East Coast, familiar recruiting areas for him. Bowen appreciates having such an experienced sounding board on the defensive staff and appeared to have clicked with him immediately, going all the way back to a job interview that quickly turned into a chalk-talk session. “We’re sitting there in a hotel room, wherever we were, San Antonio, I think, and it turned into, ‘Tell me more about this. What about when you experimented with that? How did you do that?’ It became two guys talking football, throwing ideas out there,” Bowen said. “You could tell right away he had been through a lot of battles, seen a lot of football. When you’re in this thing, you kind of learn there a lot of great ideas and a lot of those great ideas stink. It was just refreshing to know how much he knows. Then to bring him here and watch him teach, he can break things down in a way they can learn and understand it.” Most of the time anyway. Bradford was reminded during a recent practice of the value of forever staying mindful of closing the generation gap between coaches and players. “We put in a call, ‘Toto,’ and we had signal that had to do with a dog and not one kid on our team knew what Toto was,” Bradford said. “They were like, ‘Isn’t that a band?’ ‘No, it’s not a band. It’s Toto from the Wizard of Oz.’ ‘Coach, what are you talking about?’ ” As with all college coaches, Bradford has learned how to communicate with recruits 140 characters at a time. “You have to stay on it,” Bradford said. “We all have Facebook pages. We all have Twitter accounts. We all have Instagrams. My kids laugh like crazy that they can follow me on Twitter. They can follow me on Facebook. They can follow me on Instagram. That’s part of how it is in recruiting. It’s funny, when I started recruiting, you didn’t talk to a kid until December first and you signed him on the first week in February. Those days are long gone. An eighth-grader got offered by USC this week.” Whatever Bradford brings as a recruiter is a bonus. His veteran voice, eyes and ears as a coach bring needed experience to the defensive staff. “Great, great coach,” Bowen said.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS PITCHER IAN KENNEDY delivers against Texas during a spring-training game Wednesday in Surprise, Ariz.

Royals still bemoan missed opportunity By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — The Royals reported to spring training this year just a few months after being feted by 800,000 people in downtown Kansas City, their reward for their first World Series triumph in three decades. They could have taken it easy. They could have relished in their success just a little bit longer. Instead, manager Ned Yost let slip during one of his countless interviews the fact that their close call two years ago still haunts him. Not even beating the New York Mets in five games last fall has wiped away the harsh memory of losing to the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 the previous year. The Royals are preparing to defend their title. They could easily be trying for a three-peat. “We were 90 feet away,” Yost said, recalling the sight of Alex Gordon standing on third base as the tying run, and Salvador Perez popping out against the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner for the game’s final out. “We’ve basically got the same crew,” Yost said. “They’re motivated, excited to get going, and we want to win world championships for Kansas City and this organization.” Championships, plural. That means defending the title for the first time since the New York Yankees were finishing off a three-peat of their own in 2000. There is every reason to believe it’s possible, too, starting with the Royals’ lineup: Everyone is back except for second baseman Ben Zobrist — a rental for last year’s stretch run — and right-fielder Alex Rios, who was generally considered the weak spot in the lineup. Gordon was a free agent by definition only. He ultimately signed a

KANSAS CITY’S ALEX GORDON TROTS HOME after hitting a home run during a spring-training game against the Chicago White Sox on March 14 in Surprise, Ariz. $72 million, four-year deal to stick around, admitting later that he was never going anywhere else. “This is a great place to be, especially the last couple of years,” the threetime All-Star said. “That was my whole mentality in the offseason, just get something done and get back to my boys.” The Royals lost Johnny Cueto in free agency, but they knew all along the late-season acquisition was going to be too costly to keep. They signed Ian Kennedy to fill his spot in the rotation, and will rely on Edinson Volquez, Yordano Ventura, Chris Young and Kris Medlen to round it out. The offense and rotation aren’t where the Royals have been so dominant, though. It has been sterling defense and one of the game’s most dominant bullpens that have made the difference. The Royals had three Gold Glove winners for the third straight year last season, and might have had a fourth had Gordon not missed time to injuries. In the bullpen, Wade Davis took over for Greg Holland and established himself as one of the game’s premier closers, while Luke Hochevar, Kelvin Herrera and now Joakim Soria — who signed as a free agent — give Kansas City a steady stream of power arms.

“I’ve always wanted to play with guys like that,” Kennedy said. “They play unbelievable defense and alongside that, they’re talented, and that makes me really excited to hop right in.” Opening night: In a strange coincidence, the Royals open the season Sunday night against the Mets — the same team that watched them celebrate a championship last fall. This time, they’ll be at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City rather than Citi Field in New York. Dyson shelved: Jarrod Dyson was expected to platoon with Paulo Orlando in right field until straining his oblique in spring training. He’s expected to miss the first couple weeks of the season. Second base: Omar Infante and Christian Colon will likely split duties for two reasons: Infante is coming off an injuryravaged year and the club will closely monitor his workload, and Colon is one of the young players the Royals are counting on for the future. Prospect pulse: The Royals are hopeful young right-hander Kyle Zimmer will arrive in Kansas City later this season. He worked with the big-league club in spring training but was optioned to Triple-A Omaha, where he will continue to refine his delivery and await his chance.

Chiefs sign West, Ware to extensions Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs signed Charcandrick West to a three-year extension and fellow running back Spencer Ware to a twoyear extension Thursday, solidifying their backfield alongside Jamaal Charles. West and Spencer proved to be a potent change-of-pace duo when Charles went down with a season-ending ACL injury last season. Charles is expected to be ready

for the start of the upcoming season, but locking up West and Ware will help take some of the load off the two-time All-Pro. It also makes running back Knile Davis a potential trade piece. “There are always enough footballs to go around,” West said. “With a room like we have and a team like we have, there’s no ‘I’ in team for real, and we look at it that way. That’s what we live by

and that’s what we are going to go by. And that’s what makes the Chiefs a great team.” The quick, elusive West was an undrafted free agent out of Abilene Christian who stuck with the Chiefs primarily for his special teams prowess. But after the injury to Charles, he was forced into service because his skill set is comparable to that of the Chiefs’ more established star.
