Industries lawnmowerparts plant in the small town of Hesston ended when the police chief killed the gunman in a shootout.

Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton described the officer as a “tremendous hero” because 200 or 300 people were still in the factory and

the “shooter wasn’t done by any means.”

Had the officer “not done what he did, this would be a whole lot more tragic,” Walton said.

The gunman was identified as Cedric Ford, a 38-year-old worker at the factory. As a convicted fel-

Trump, Court: Sobriety law unconstitutional Clinton lead in Kan. poll ——

Voter survey also finds Brownback has lower approval rating than Obama

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — One week before the March 5 presidential caucuses in Kansas, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are leading their respective rivals, but more than a third of all potential caucus-goers say they’re still undecided, according to a new survey by Fort Hays State University.

Among voters who said they intend to vote in the Republican caucuses, 26 percent said they are supporting Trump, although 39 percent said they are still undecided.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, with 14 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, at 13 Trump percent, are in a close race for second place.

Ben Carson and Ohio Gov. John Kasich each drew 3 percent.

Among Democrats, the survey showed 44 percent of potential caucusgoers are still unClinton decided. But among those expressing a preference, 33 percent said they favored Clinton, and 23 percent said they favor Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The survey included responses from 440 Kansas adults who said they intend to vote in the upcoming caucuses with an overall margin of error of 5 percentage points. But it did not break down that number by party or provide separate margins of error for the two samples.

But when the entire sample is pooled together, Trump and Clinton showed nearly identical levels of support, with 16 percent of the entire sample saying they support Trump, 15 percent saying they support Clinton, and 40 percent undecided.

THE KANSAS SUPREME COURT RULED ON FRIDAY IN SEVERAL RELATED CASES that Breathalyzers and other forms of blood-alcohol tests constitute unreasonable searches and seizures.

Drivers can’t be punished for refusing test, ruling says

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Drivers in Kansas who are suspected of being intoxicated can no longer be punished for refusing to take a blood-alcohol test, and police may no longer warn drivers that such refusals can result in stiffer criminal penalties, the Kansas Supreme Court said Friday.

In three related cases, the justices ruled 6-1 that Breathalyzers and other

forms of blood-alcohol tests constitute “searches” and thus are subject to the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures.

And in a fourth case, the court said police may no longer warn drivers that refusing to submit to a test can result in even stiffer penalties because such a warning is both inaccurate, in light of the other three cases, and constitutes a form of coercion.

The court said the law compelling people to submit to such a search with-

out police first obtaining a warrant is “impermissibly broad because it allows the State to criminally punish those who refuse a search that is not grounded in the Fourth Amendment.”

Under Kansas law, it has long been held that drivers have given implied consent to DUI tests merely by driving on public roads. But the court said both the U.S. Constitution and the Kansas Constitution allow drivers to withdraw that consent, and the state Please see SOBRIETY, page 2A

What’s at stake in the Oread tax dispute

ometimes you win in the court of law, but lose in the court of public opinion. Other times it is vice versa. I can’t help but think that thought is going through the minds of some City Hall leaders these days.

This $500,000 tax dispute between the city of Lawrence and the developers of The Oread hotel project seems likely to create some interesting legal wrangling.

New documents released by the developer certainly have

made that clearer. But if it turns into a lawsuit, it sure

appears City Hall leaders have an interesting calculus to consider: It is important for the city to win the judgment of the court, but it is critical that it win the judgment of the public.

In other words, the city probably has more at risk in the court of public opinion than it does in the court of law.

As it stands now, the city’s biggest risk in the court of law is about $500,000. That’s approximately the amount of the tax dispute. But that amount

creates no real risk to the city’s finances. The $500,000 in disputed taxes have never been budgeted. It is not like the city will have to cut funding for something if it doesn’t receive it. (To be clear, not all the money would go to the city. Some would go to the county, and a special 1 percent sales tax that is charged in the district would theoretically be rebated back to the consumers who paid it.)

cannot criminally punish an individual for making that constitutionally protected choice.

Under the law, enacted in 2012, refusal to submit to a blood-alcohol test is a misdemeanor, carrying a sentence of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 for the first offense. In addition, it can result in a one-year suspension of driving privileges on the first offense; a two-year suspension on the second offense; and a three-year suspension on the third offense.

Those are in addition to any penalties that may result from the DUI conviction itself. A first DUI conviction in Kansas carries a mandatory sentence of at least 48 hours in jail or 100 hours of community service; a fine of $500 to $1,000; and mandatory completion of a drug and alcohol education or treatment program.

A second DUI conviction results in 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000 to $1,500; and a one-year suspension of driving privileges, followed by another year of restrictions that only allow the driver to operate a vehicle with an ignition interlock device.

Third and subsequent convictions are considered felonies that carry even longer jail time, fines, loss of driving privileges and possible impoundment of the driver’s vehicle.

The Kansas Department of Revenue was not immediately able to provide figures Friday on the number of people whose licenses are currently under suspension for refusing to submit to a bloodalcohol test.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office announced Friday afternoon that it had already issued revised consent forms and advisories for law enforcement officials to use in suspected DUI cases to comply with the court’s decision.

“We are taking swift action today to ensure Kansas law enforcement immediately has available legally correct forms to comply with the law while continuing to keep our state’s streets and highways safe,” Schmidt said. “We are making the modified forms available immediately so DUI enforcement can continue uninterrupted.”

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Friday’s ruling could result in voiding any convictions and license suspensions handed down in the past for people who refused to submit to a test.

But going forward, he said he doesn’t think the ruling will have a major impact locally because officers in Lawrence and Douglas County routinely obtain warrants to have blood tests taken whenever a driver refuses to take a preliminary blood test.

“If they refuse to submit to a breath or blood test, then the officer has the option of applying for

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson doesn’t think the ruling will have a major impact locally because officers in Lawrence and Douglas County routinely obtain warrants to have blood tests taken whenever a driver refuses to take a preliminary blood test. a search warrant of that person’s blood,” Branson said. “We started doing that a number of years ago. We have essentially a quick form that allows the officer fairly quickly to fill in the form with their observations, what they’ve done and the request for a blood draw, email that off to a judge for a judge’s review and signature, and then it comes back and they take the person to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for a blood draw.”

As a result, Branson said his office has prosecuted very few cases for refusal to submit to a test because his office is able to obtain proof that someone was driving under the influence even if they refuse to submit to a test.

Lt. Adam Winters, spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol, said officials are reviewing the court’s decisions to determine how it will affect procedures in DUI cases.

He said the standard practice has been to place anyone who refuses to submit to a test under arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence and then refer the person’s refusal to the Revenue Department’s Division of Vehicles for an administrative hearing to determine if the person’s license should be suspended.

He also said troopers have had the option of seeking a warrant to compel a blood-alcohol test, but that is not required.

Justice Caleb Stegall, the newest member of the Kansas Supreme Court, and the only one appointed by Gov. Sam Brownback, dissented in the first three cases, arguing among other things that the statute should not be struck down in its entirety, but should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Stegall also filed a concurring opinion in the fourth case, striking down police officers’ warnings that refusing to submit to a DUI test could result in further criminal penalties. Although he agreed with the outcome in that particular case, he said there could be circumstances in other cases under which giving such a warning could be deemed constitutional.

He said the four rulings “will have the effect of overturning countless numbers of otherwise lawful driving-under-theinfluence convictions in this state.”

LAWRENCE • STATE

Oread CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But I think the stakes are much higher in the court of public opinion.

As we reported, The Oread development team released a large number of documents recently describing its position in the dispute. It is easy to see in those documents some potentially successful legal arguments.

It is more difficult to see anything that is going to change the public’s opinion that the developers are misusing a city incentive program.

If the city doesn’t do everything it can to impose some type of penalty on the development team, I think the City Commission risks losing large amounts of trust with the public. At least that’s what I hear from people who stop me on the street to talk about it.

To make matters worse, trust levels aren’t that great currently, following the Rock Chalk Park controversy that the city had with Thomas Fritzel — the same Lawrence businessman at the center of The Oread development. There are other Fritzel/City Hall controversies that continue to weigh on the minds of residents. If the camel’s back hasn’t already broken, it seems like this will do it.

So, let’s take a closer look at the new set of documents released by the development group to see where future battles may be waged in this dispute: l One of the documents produced by the development group is called “Setting the Record Straight: The Facts of Oread Redevelopment District.” Expect exception to be taken to some of these facts. There is at least one statement in that document that isn’t a fact. Statement No. 2 reads: “Oread Inn is owed approximately $11 million plus interest for improvements that, absent the Redevelopment Agreement, would have been paid and financed by the City. There is no dispute of this fact.” It certainly is not a fact that the city would have paid and financed all of these improvements if this deal hadn’t been reached. Indeed, the $11 million in improvements do include numerous pieces of public infrastructure — items such as streets, sidewalks and other such projects — that likely needed city attention whether The Oread project proceeded or not. But it is important to remember that the majority of the $11 million in improvements is for a privately owned parking garage that is beneath The Oread hotel. There was never a scenario where the city was going to pay for or finance that approximately $6 million private parking garage. l $4.5 million may be an important number in all of this. That is approximately the amount of sales the development group once said were made inside The Oread’s special taxing district but is now saying were made outside the district. The development group made the change by amending the tax returns for Oread Wholesale.

What did those sales involve? I’ve asked an attorney for the development group for more information about those sales, but did not receive any more details. What those sales involved goes to the heart of the matter. City officials believe the development group was willfully inflating the sales of the special taxing district in order to get a larger sales tax rebate from the city.

The fact that the development group has removed $4.5 million in sales from the district says that sales were improperly allocated

to the district. The development group will strenuously argue otherwise.

Attorneys with the group sent me a message stating the amended returns shouldn’t be read as a “determination” that sales were improperly made to the district. Instead, the amended returns were a voluntary effort to “compromise and cooperate with the city.” But if that line of logic stands, it raises other questions. Are sales tax returns meant to be an accurate depiction of sales activity, or does the state allow them to be changed to facilitate deals? l There may be an argument brewing over what constitutes a warehouse. The terms of the special taxing district are pretty clear that one of the prohibited uses in the district is a warehouse.

The city is contending that Oread Wholesale was operating a warehouse in the district, and thus the city has the legal authority to now void the special taxing district deal. Indeed, documents released by the development group confirm that Oread Wholesale has space within the hotel building where it stores and displays materials that it later sells. The attorneys have confirmed the location has handled sales of construction materials for projects throughout the Lawrence area and beyond. But the developers argue that is not a warehouse. The attorneys told me it is not a warehouse because “Oread Wholesale does not store property owned by third parties for a fee.” Instead, Oread Wholesale “stores its own inventory, pending the retail sale of such inventory.” Now, the bar exams I’ve passed are different than the ones attorneys are required to pass, so I’m no expert on the legal ins and outs of the definition of a warehouse. My qualifications mainly end at typing in the URL dictionary.com.

Among the definitions of a warehouse on that site: “A building, or a part of one, in which wholesalers keep large stocks of merchandise, which they display and sell to retailers.” l And finally, what would a dispute be without an alley. The alley behind The Varsity House, an apartment complex developed by a group led by Thomas Fritzel, will be debated.

A good amount of the disputed sales taxes come from sales tax charged on construction materials for The Varsity House. The developers are contending those sales took place inside the special taxing district, even though there is agreement that The Varsity House project is not inside the special taxing district. Whether the sales are in or out adds up to a significant amount of money for the development group. If the sales are determined to be made outside the district, The Varsity House developers — which includes some of the key Oread developers — must pay the full amount of sales tax on construction materials, and they get none of it rebated back to them.

But if the sales are made in the district, The Oread development group gets a rebate on the majority of the local sales taxes paid for the construction materials.

The argument that the development group is making is that most of the construction material sales for The Varsity House were delivered to the public alley that is behind The Varsity House, which is just down the block from The Oread hotel. That public alley is part of the special taxing district. Under state law, since the delivery was made there, that is where the sales tax must be charged, the development group argues. Thus, under the terms of the special taxing district, The Oread

L awrence J ournal -W orld

developers get a sales tax rebate.

But here is where it gets a little tricky to follow.

When the construction materials arrived at the alley, they weren’t owned

by Oread Wholesale. They were owned by whatever company Oread Wholesale ordered them from.

Oread Wholesale would purchase the materials in the alley, and then store the materials in the alley before it sold them to the contractor for The Varsity House. “For deliveries to the alleyway, Oread Wholesale would retain ownership and possession of the construction materials when delivered,” a developer-commissioned report by the accounting firm BKD reads. The report goes on to say the products were later sold to DFC, the contractor building The Oread.

That raises a question: Does a wholesale company have to get any permission from the city to use a public alley as a storage facility for its business? I have little doubt that DFC had city permission to store construction materials in the alley, but whether Oread Wholesale had such permission may be a different matter. I asked the attorneys for The Oread group for any documents showing such permission had been granted, but I didn’t receive any.

The larger question, though, is one about intent. I covered the City Hall approval process for The Varsity House. Never did the developer mention that the project would be adding sales to the special taxing district. Why not?

You could argue that would be a selling point for the project. The more sales that occur in the district, the quicker the $11 million cap is reached, and the quicker the city and county begin receiving the full amount of sales taxes from The Oread. One reason it was perhaps never mentioned is because it could be seen as a tax break for some members of The Varsity House development. (Remember, The Varsity House paid the full amount of sales tax due, but a good portion of it got rebated back to The Oread group, which also includes members of the The Varsity House group.)

As someone covering the issue, I can tell you that it wasn’t likely that the City Commission was going to be in favor of giving The Varsity House project any such tax break.

The issue of whether the special taxing district is being used in the manner that was described when it was approved by the city is really at the heart of the matter for the public, I believe.

Did the city approve one thing but actually get something else?

So, there are lots of issues to resolve, and I don’t have a good sense of how they will be resolved.

It will be interesting to watch how long it takes to resolve them. One fact that gets overlooked is that the city has stopped making tax rebate payments to The Oread group. The Oread group has been counting on those tax rebates to pay for the $11 million worth of work that it financed at the project. Presumably, the development group is still obligated to make those debt payments even though the tax rebates aren’t currently being received. It would seem that a lawsuit with this many things to argue could be pretty lengthy, which could mean the tax rebates may be halted for quite some time. The city may be on the correct side of the leverage equation here.

I suspect that is just one of many calculations to come in this case.

What will it take to turn KU football around?

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Kansas University alumni and Jayhawk basketball fans are flying high, and the enthusiasm is great.

The KU team and coach Bill Self are in the national spotlight, about to wrap up a 12th consecutive conference championship. Tickets for a game in Allen Fieldhouse are in high demand and carry a high price tag. Self and his assistants recruit on a national and international level for top prospects. The success of the program strengthens morale, pride and enthusiasm among alumni and helps student recruitment and private fundraising.

Interest, support and excitement for the basketball program is sky high, but, across the campus, at the KU football office, the mood must be far different.

Various representatives, such as the coach and athletic director, try to put a good face on the situation, but, right now, it is a sad story.

Last year, KU’s new football coach, David Beaty, had an 0-12 record. Attendance was down, and the incoming recruiting

class was ranked last in the Big 12 and 98th in the country. To make matters worse, five assistant coaches have left since the end of the 2015 season, the most recent one only days before the start of spring practice.

It should be noted Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger inherited a bad situation from former AD Lew Perkins and Turner Gill, whom Perkins hired as KU football coach. When Zenger took over from Perkins, he compounded the problem when he hired Charlie Weis as coach.

Whereas many good things can be said about the KU basketball program, not too many positive things can be said about the football program.

This is a sad situation and bad for the school. Granted, a university should not be graded or ranked based on the success of its basketball or football programs, but, as many higher education officials acknowledge, major athletic programs often serve as a “front door” to the university by attracting fans, alumni, nonalumni and friends, as well as encouraging private giving, helping attract students and generating

high morale throughout the university family.

This writer is a strong and enthusiastic supporter of the KU athletics program and was a three-year letterman on the Jayhawk football team. This is pointed out merely to make it clear this writer wants the team to be a winner in every respect.

What is it going to take to turn the program around? It should not be allowed to continue as it is.

The university deserves better.

COMMENTARY A longtime, highly respected former sportswriter recently told this writer, “KU needs a chancellor who realizes football is the paddle that propels the canoe. Unfortunately, the next good season is decades away if massive changes aren’t made in the program.”

Longtime and loyal KU alumni and friends are proud of their university, particularly its academic and research excellence.

There are some who question whether a school known for its

academic excellence can also achieve excellence on the football field and basketball court.

It is interesting to note that more than half of the 61 private and public universities that are members of the elite Association of American Universities have outstanding football and/or basketball programs — or both.

You can have both academic and athletic excellence.

Money plays a big role, with the Big 12 Conference schools splitting the ever-growing pot of money generated by television revenues. This, along with generous private fiscal support, has provided KU far more funds than in the past. However, teams (schools) used to split the revenue from ticket sales at the various stadiums. This is no longer the case. KU would pick up more dollars playing at Oklahoma, Nebraska and other schools with solid programs and larger ticket sales. Now, there is no split, and KU takes in only the revenues from Memorial Stadium.

These numbers are down and probably were the lowest of any Big 12 school last year. What are the expectations for the coming

season? Not too good.

Beaty, Zenger and KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little are in a tough spot. They all want a winning football program, as do students, alumni and friends.

Some say KU needs a new or vastly improved stadium. A large expansion and renovation plan was presented several years ago but put aside when it became clear there was not sufficient private fiscal support.

The KU Endowment Association is completing a record $1 billion-plus campaign. Is a stadium project sufficiently important for the university that Endowment money could be diverted for that purpose? Not likely.

Kansas State University faced an even more serious situation some years ago with a football team that was setting national records for the number of consecutive losses.

It was the worst in the nation.

What did they do? A new chancellor and a new football coach.

Should KU officials be alarmed about “the football situation”? How much worse does it have to get before it is an alarming situation?

Sexual Assault Prevention Center director updates students

K

Heard on the Hill

ansas University’s new Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, or SAPEC, has reached its 30-day mark on campus.

Center director Jennifer Brockman visited the KU Student Senate meeting this week to introduce herself, and it sounds like she’s been busy so far — even though she’s flying solo until additional SAPEC staffers are hired.

For now the office is located in 116 Carruth O’Leary Hall, the same building as KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. The Student Senate has asked that SAPEC eventually be located inside the new Burge union (and they have a strong say in that because the building is being funded by student fees) once it’s constructed

Robinson predicted a big turnout on March 5, especially in Douglas County with its large population of voters under age 35, a key age group that has turned out in big numbers to support him in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.

So far in the primaries and caucuses, Clinton and Sanders are locked in a close race when it comes to actual votes.

But Clinton is far ahead in the delegate count, having already secured 453 “superdelegates,” while Sanders has lined up only 20.

The total delegate count so far, according to the New York Times, is 505 for Clinton and 71 for Sanders. It takes 2,383 to win the nomination, and 37 are up for grabs in the Kansas caucuses.

Delegates to the state convention will get to hear from Clinton and Sanders surrogates

during the party’s Washington Days banquet at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and former Texas State Sen. and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, both Clinton supporters, are scheduled to speak at the banquet. The Sanders surrogate hadn’t been officially announced by Friday evening.

Also speaking at the banquet will be former Democratic Congressman Dan Glickman of Wichita, who was first elected to Congress 40 years ago this year and served in the 4th District seat until 1995. He is now a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center, as well as vice president and executive director of the Aspen Institute Congressional Program.

it was not clear how the new requirement would affect the upcoming Kansas Democratic caucuses.

For the March 5 caucuses in Kansas, Republican voters must have been registered as Republicans by Feb. 4. The Democratic Party allows any voter to register as a Democrat on the day of the caucuses.

Currently in Kansas, voters can register using either a state or federal form. Until recently, though, only the state form asked them to show proof of U.S. citizenship.

The federal form only asks applicants to attest, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens.

In 2014, the EAC rejected requests by Kansas and Arizona to add a proof-ofcitizenship question to the federal form, saying that doing so would “likely hinder eligible citizens from registering to vote in federal elections.”

Since then, Kansas Secretary of State Kris

Kobach has said that voters using the federal form who do not provide proof of citizenship may only vote in federal elections.

But a Shawnee County judge said in December that Kobach had no legal authority to make such a rule. That case is now under appeal.

On Jan. 29, the EAC’s new executive director, former Johnson County Election Commissioner Newby, acted unilaterally to grant requests from Kansas, Alabama and Georgia, even though the bipartisan commission had not authorized him to do so.

The U.S. Justice Department, siding with the plaintiffs, said earlier this week that it would not defend Newby’s action. But Kobach and the conservative Public Interest Legal Foundation were granted motions to intervene in support of Newby’s action.

congressional district.

I’ve met people from multiple Senate districts, and what’s cool about our organization is that we have organizers stretched from Kansas City to Dodge City,” said Lauren Brainerd of Wichita, state director of the Clinton campaign.

Steve Robinson, a Lawrence activist for the Sanders campaign, said there is just as much enthusiasm building up for the Vermont senator’s campaign.

“On the Bernie side, you’ve got people who are talking revolution, not in a violent sense of course, but at the ballot box, and more than that, beyond the ballot box, citizen activism,” he said.

states, saying their proof of citizenship requirements conflict with the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the federal “motor voter” law.

The plaintiffs also asked the court for a temporary restraining order to block the use of the new forms, at least until the case is decided.

But in a four-page order released Wednesday, Judge Leon called such orders an “extraordinary remedy” that can only be used when the plaintiffs show clearly that they are entitled to the relief and failure to grant the order would result in irreparable harm.

He noted that the registration deadlines for the Georgia and Alabama primaries, as well as the Kansas Republican caucuses, have already passed, and

back to committee. One of dozens of student fees recommended in the bill was an increase that would reinstate University Daily Kansan funding to what it was two years ago, before a fee cut reportedly forced the paper to cut staff and prompted a free-speech lawsuit.

The fee issue should return to the full Senate for a vote on March 9. It doesn’t sound like the Kansan fee was the biggest hangup, however.

The Kansan reported that fees, as proposed, increased 60 cents overall, and a number of senators said the Senate should work to whittle them down instead.

Keever also expanded the food bank’s grocery recovery program, in which unused food is collected from local grocery stores and restaurants. Just Food collected about 600,000 pounds of food in 2015 through that program, up from about 200,000 in 2014.

Shooting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the officer was Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder, who did not wait for backup and “seized the situation.”

Schroeder has been on the job since 1998, according to his LinkedIn profile.

While driving to the factory, the gunman shot a man on the street, striking him in the shoulder. A short time later, he shot someone else in the leg at an intersection, authorities said.

The suspect shot one person in the factory parking lot before opening fire inside the building, the sheriff’s department said.

Authorities identified the dead as 44-year-old Brian Sadowsky of Newton; 31-year-old Josh Higbee of Buhler; and 30-year-old Renee Benjamin, whose hometown was unavailable.

In head-to-head matchups, though, the poll showed what most people would expect in a solidly Republican state: Kansas voters prefer any of the Republican candidates over either of the Democratic candidates.

The only exception to that is a potential matchup between Trump and Sanders. There, the poll showed, Sanders had a 1 percentage point edge over the New York billionaire, 43-42 percent, with 15 percent undecided.

But Trump holds a 10-point lead over Clinton, 46-36 percent, with

the last decade. His past offenses included burglary, grand theft, fleeing from an officer, aggravated fleeing and carrying a concealed weapon, all from Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

According to the Wichita Eagle, Ford also had criminal cases in Harvey County, including a misdemeanor conviction in 2008 for fighting and various traffic violations from 2014 and 2015.

A Facebook page under the name of a Cedric Ford employed at Excel includes photos posted within the past month of a man posing with a long gun and another of a handgun in a man’s lap in a car. Federal law bars felons from possessing firearms.

Recent posts also include music videos of rappers from Miami, photos of cars and pictures posted in January of a trip to a zoo with children.

Sarah T. Hopkins, 28, was in jail awaiting a court appearance Monday on charges that she gave Ford a semi-

automatic rifle similar to an AK-47 and a Glock .40-caliber handgun.

A call to a phone number listed for her was not answered. Court records did not indicate if she has an attorney.

According to an affidavit, Hopkins lived with Ford in nearby Newton before moving out in July.

Newton police later met her at the home so she could retrieve the weapons, which she had purchased. Hopkins told officers on Friday that she gave the weapons to Ford in August because he had threatened her.

Hopkins and Ford had a 2-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter, according to a report in the Eagle that cited a paternity case in Harvey County last year. She is not the same woman who sought the order of protection.

The shooting came less than a week after a man opened fire at several locations in the Kalamazoo, Mich., area, leaving six people dead and two severely wounded. Author-

ities have not disclosed a possible motive in those attacks.

Walton said his office served the suspect with the protection-fromabuse order at around 3:30 p.m., about 90 minutes before the first shooting happened.

A judge issued a temporary order of protection earlier this month for a former girlfriend who said in her petition that Ford was a violent, depressed alcoholic.

“It’s my belief he is in desperate need of medical and psychological help!” she wrote.

The ex-girlfriend, who indicated on court documents that she had lived with Ford, said the two were arguing on Feb. 5 when he grabbed her, placed her in a choke hold from behind and took her to the ground.

Hesston is a community of about 3,700 about 35 miles north of Wichita. Excel Industries was founded there in 1960 and manufactures Hustler and Big Dog mowing equipment.

18 percent undecided.

The poll showed that if the general election were held today, the strongest Republicans in the field would be Cruz and Rubio.

Rubio leads Clinton, 51-32 percent, while Cruz leads the former Secretary of State, 49-35 percent.

Both Rubio and Cruz lead Sanders in a hypothetical matchup, but by slightly smaller margins: Rubio, 46-36 percent over Sanders; and Cruz, 44-38 percent.

The survey also asked Kansans to rate the performance of Gov. Sam Brownback and President Barack Obama.

It showed Brownback’s overall unfavorable ratings have not changed since a similar Fort Hays State University poll was

Only 21 percent said they were very or somewhat satisfied with Gov. Sam Brownback’s job performance.

conducted in October, with 69 percent saying they are either very or somewhat dissatisfied with his job performance.

But within that group, the number saying they are “very dissatisfied” grew 5 percentage points, to 53 percent.

Only 21 percent said they were very or somewhat satisfied with Brownback’s job performance, which is up slightly from October.

That’s a lower job approval rating than Presi-

Indie films take center stage tonight Kate McKinnon and Kumail Nanjiani host the 2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards (4 p.m., repeating 9 p.m., IFC).

The five films nominated for best independent feature are “Anomalisa,” “Beasts of No Nation,” “Carol,” “Spotlight” and “Tangerine.”

Among these films, “Spotlight” is also nominated for a best picture Oscar. “Tangerine” marks a new chapter in independent filmmaking and the use of unorthodox technology to keep budgets low.

The film was shot using three iPhone 5s smartphones.

Best known for her work on “Saturday Night Live” and her impersonation of Hillary Clinton, McKinnon has been cast in the upcoming reboot of “Ghostbusters.” In addition to his role on HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” Nanjiani is also known for his work on Cartoon Network’s “Adventure Time” as the voice of Prismo.

O No stranger to Oscarnominated movies (“The Color Purple”) and Oscar ceremonies, Oprah Winfrey appears on the 2016 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards (9 p.m., OWN). She’ll be joined

by Shonda Rhimes, Tracee Ellis Ross, Debbie Allen, Nina Shaw and Zendaya. Look for a performance by Leon Bridges.

Tonight’s other highlights

O The Colorado Avalanche

host the Detroit Red Wings in NHL action (7 p.m., NBC).

O A psychology student never had a clue in the 2016 drama “The Suicide Note” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

O Folks who can’t wait until Tuesday for the next installment of FX’s addictive “American Crime Story” can catch “O.J. Simpson Trial: The Real Story” (7 p.m., ID, TV-14).

O The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Golden State Warriors in NBA action (7:30 p.m., ABC).

O A space station crew’s final moments on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America, TV-PG).

O Flint and Teach have different visions of piracy’s potential on “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

Cult choice Daniel Stern stars in two memorable comedies, “Breaking Away” (7 p.m., TCM) from 1979, and “Diner” (9 p.m.) from 1982.

completely pain-free, but she manages her pain effectively now with simple over-thecounter pain medication, heat, ice and rest.

We’ve learned that opioid drugs sensitize the nerves in such a way as to fool the body into craving more. This “rebound” pain is worse than the original. Why don’t doctors tell their patients to come in if they have trouble discontinuing their meds?

Shouldn’t asking for higher and higher doses indicate a problem?

We were fortunate that the physicians and nurses in the second psychiatric setting listened and worked with us to properly address Mom’s complex medical needs. I want to shout from the rooftops: Doctors! Listen to your patients’ families!

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Feb. 27: This year events trigger unusual perspective and ingenuity. You might be surprised by how you can work through problems and then discover what solutions are available. Your mental abilities will open up to a different type of logic and thinking. If you are single, you could meet someone through a class of some sort. If you are attached, the two of you might opt to schedule a long-desired trip or vacation.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You’ll want to integrate your plans with a loved one with whom you might not have spent enough time. Tonight: Dinner out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++ You might want to defer to someone you care a lot about, but who can become controlling.

Tonight: Continue to break away from your routine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ You might want to slow down and take your time when dealing with a problem. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ Be more open to a new friend. When you start identifying with this person, you let go of worries. Tonight: Add more closeness to your bond.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You easily could take a

ing in Florida Dear Florida: When taken as directed, opioids can be effective in dealing with chronic pain, even though the patient can develop a tolerance and even a dependence on the drug. But when you cannot function without it, or when you try to obtain the drug illegally or through multiple physician prescriptions, it is a full-blown addiction. Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from substance use disorders related to prescription opioids.

We appreciate your warning and hope doctors are paying attention. For more information, readers can go to samhsa.gov.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You might be more open to having a conversation than you have been in a while.

Tonight: At a new favorite spot.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You could be overwhelmed by what is happening behind the scenes with a friend.

Tonight: Love the moment.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ Be open to an unusual option. A new friend might not be direct about what he or she wants.

Tonight: Find a favorite person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ If you must, change your plans and know that a long explanation is not necessary. Tonight: Do not make plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You finally will find time to pursue a hobby or pastime that several of your friends also enjoy.

Tonight: Go to a party.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ Try not to accept additional responsibility in an area in which you have had no prior experience. Tonight: Out and about.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Dear Annie: I am livid about my 72-yearold mother’s physicians. Over the past few years, they kept writing her more and more prescriptions for opioid pain medication, despite our expressions of concern. When she ran out of pills before she could get another prescription, she experienced full-blown psychosis. Patients need hospital care in order to withdraw safely from some of these medications.

We have spent uncountable, stressed-out hours over Mom’s opioid addiction. Medicare has spent thousands of dollars, as have we. Last year, we were twice forced to hospitalize Mom involuntarily. In the interim, despite our clear communications, a psychiatrist wrote another prescription for

Apple’s defense of security has problems Washington — Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook is such a respected figure that it’s easy to overlook the basic problem with his argument about encryption: Cook is asserting that a private company and the interests of its customers should prevail over the public’s interest as expressed by our courts.

The San Bernardino encryption case was the wrong one to fight. Apple doubled-down Thursday by asking a federal court to vacate its order that the company create a tool to unlock the iPhone of shooter Syed Rizwan Farook. But if a higher court ultimately requires Apple to do that, as seems likely, the company will be seen by privacy advocates at home and abroad as having been rolled by the U.S. government. Foreign governments may demand similar treatment. Neither outcome is in Apple’s interest.

Cook’s stand has added to his luster as a tech hero. But the case, unfortunately, could be a lose-lose for U.S. technology companies, eroding both privacy protections and global market share.

Cook’s Feb. 16 “Message to Our Customers” was somewhere between a civics lesson and a sales pitch. “Smartphones, led by iPhone, have become an essential part of our lives,” Cook began. He said he wanted to protect Apple users from what he claimed was an FBI “backdoor” that “would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.”

David Ignatius

“

Cook’s stand has added to his luster as a tech hero. But the case, unfortunately, could be a lose-lose for U.S. technology companies, eroding both privacy protections and global market share.”

The Justice Department reacted indignantly. “Apple has attempted to design and market its products to allow technology, rather than the law, to control access to data,” the government argued in a Feb. 19 motion. FBI Director James Comey also blasted Apple, arguing that “corporations that sell stuff for a living” should not be allowed to set the balance between privacy and safety.

Comey told Congress Thursday: “This is the hardest question I’ve ever seen in government.”

Cook’s insistence that the FBI is seeking what could become a universal “backdoor” raises several interesting questions. First, Cook has argued that if Apple

creates a special tool for Farook’s phone, it could be used by governments or hackers to crack any other iPhone. But Stewart Baker, a former NSA lawyer and a leading writer on encryption issues, cites an Apple security paper that suggests Apple has plenty of ways to prevent the tool from being used without Apple’s permission or on phones other than Farook’s.

“Apple’s new security architecture requires that any Apple update, including one written for law enforcement, must be uniquely tied to each individual phone that gets it,” Baker said in an email. “The phone can’t download an update unless it’s been digitally signed by Apple and then ‘locked’ to an individual phone.”

Apple has also argued that if it unlocks Farook’s phone for the FBI, it might have to provide similar help whenever it gets a legal order from foreign governments, including repressive ones in Russia or China. But it’s not clear why this would be so.

The access tool presumably will be kept in the United States. Any foreign government that wants to use it can make a request through what’s known as a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, which allows a U.S. judge to review the case and make sure the use fits proper legal standards. Critics complain that the process is underfunded, slow and cumbersome. So spend more, speed it up — and keep proper judicial control.

An intriguing, little-noted as-

pect of Apple’s argument is that the U.S. government shouldn’t make such a fuss about “going dark” with encrypted iPhones because it has so many other useful surveillance techniques.

Here, I suspect Apple’s supporters are right. U.S. intelligence agencies have indeed devised new ways to analyze “big data” and find patterns that defeat the clever use of smartphone and email encryption by terrorist groups such as the Islamic State.

The best rebuttal of Comey’s “going dark” argument came in a report issued this month

by Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, titled “Don’t Panic.” It noted that in a world of smart appliances and clouds of unencrypted data, people leave so much digital exhaust that it’s still possible for intelligence agencies to find and track dangerous targets.

What’s the “net assessment” of the costs and benefits for U.S. national security in this debate? It seems clear that U.S. interests are served by a world where there is pervasive use of iPhone-style encrypted smartphones that embody American values of privacy and free exchange of information.

The Apple legal brawl could undermine this dominance.

Comey’s broadsides against “going dark” may make consumers suspicious about U.S. technology. So unfortunately, do Cook’s false claims about a “backdoor.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 27, 1916: “St. Patrick’s day, March 17, is the date by which K. D. Klemm, president of the Kansas City, Kaw Valley & Western interurban years road, hopes to begin the regular transportation ago of passengers from Lawrence to Kansas City.

IN 1916 This was the date mentioned by Mr. Klemm when he was in Lawrence this week. He admitted that he was perhaps a little optimistic and that the regular traffic might not be started by that time.... They say a good deal of work remains to be done on the road bed before it is in good shape for passenger service …”

Christie endorses Trump for president New Jersey governor could be potential GOP running mate David M. Jackson USA TODAY

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump on Friday, the highest-profile elected official to back the New York billionaire in his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination.

“There is no better fighter than Donald Trump,” Christie said during a campaign rally in Fort Worth, the day after rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz hammered Trump during a debate in Houston.

Christie — a potential running mate — said he believes Trump has the best chance to beat DemHOUSTON

ocrat Hillary Clinton in the fall election; the New Jersey governor also defended Trump against attacks by Republicans Rubio and Cruz, saying “desperate people do desperate things.”

Trump, looking to win many states during next week’s Super Tuesday primaries, said he was honored. When the New Jersey governor offered his support, Trump said he thought, “Wow, that is really great.”

Christie cited a long friendship with his former campaign rival and said he has the best chance to “take on the D.C. establishment,” including Clinton and Democrats.

Christie said Trump won’t let Clinton get within “10 feet of the White House.”

Christie himself pulled out of the presidential race this month after a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary.

During his surprise announcement, Christie denounced Rubio and Cruz as first-term senators who are inexperienced and part of the problem with government.

He said voters should turn away from “amateur acts” from Washington, D.C. Christie’s endorsement immediately sparked speculation that he might be Trump’s running mate, should he claim the Republican nomination.

Trump said Christie has “certainly got the talent” to be vice president, but “we actually haven’t even talked about it.”

After winning Friday’s election to become head of soccer’s muchmaligned governing body, Infantino’s primary task will be to put as much distance between himself and Blatter’s oily regime as possible.

Soccer is suffering a crisis of trust, with the powers-that-be AFP/GETTY IMAGES having run Gianni roughshod for decades over Infantino the hundreds of millions of loyal followers that love the game.

Shooter got court order before Kansas rampage Bart Jansen USA TODAY

Authorities served a gunman with a court order 90 minutes before he opened fire at the Kansas factory where he worked, a move that likely set off the rampage that left three people dead and 14 wounded, Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said Friday.

The sheriff’s office issued the order about 3:30 p.m. Thursday to protect another individual from abuse, Walton said.

Walton identified the gunman Friday as Cedric Ford, 38, who worked at Excel Industries, a plant in Hesston that makes lawn-mower products. The dead were all killed inside the building and were chosen at random, Walton said Thursday.

Cease-fire in Syria’s civil war has feel of unpredictability

Bombing continues in hours leading to deadline Oren Dorell USA TODAY

A cease-fire in Syria’s civil war began at midnight Friday local time was shaky from the start.

Some combatants have not signed on and others have vowed to continue fighting.

The agreement for a “cessation of hostilities” in the five-year-old war was brokered by the United States and Russia and approved

by Western-backed rebels and the Syrian government to allow hu-

manitarian aid to reach besieged communities and pave the way for elections.

With combatants from more than a dozen countries involved, the outlook for a halt to fighting was unpredictable, as heavy bombing continued in the hours leading up to the deadline.

The agreement excludes two terrorist groups, the Islamic State and the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda, Nusra Front, which has supported many of the Westernbacked Syrian rebels. The U.S. and Russia said they would continue air attacks and support ground forces fighting those two groups. The Nusra Front on Fri-

day called on rebels to “intensify your strikes” against the Syrian government and its supporters, according to the Turkish newspaper Today’s Zaman.

Turkey, Syria’s northern neighbor, said Thursday it will not be bound by the cease-fire agreement if Kurdish forces fighting in Syria threaten its security. The Turkish government considers the Kurdish fighters to be terrorists seeking a separate state made up of Turkish, Syrian and Iraqi Kurds, who are ethnic minorities in their home countries.

The cease-fire was supposed to begin at the end of January, along with direct negotiations between representatives of the Syrian opposition and the Assad government. Opposition leaders refused to talk, however, while Syrian and Russian aircraft continued to bombard rebel-held cities and Syrian forces sought to encircle rebel holdouts. Now Aleppo, the last major Syrian city in partial rebel control, is virtually surrounded by a combination of Syrian government forces and Syrian Kurdish militias.

French officials rally to move migrants Government gets OK to demolish part of camp in Calais Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

French officials tried to convince hundreds of migrants in a camp in northern France to leave Friday after a court approved the government’s plan to demolish part of it.

The court in Lille approved the removal of makeshift structures housing up to 1,000 migrants in the southern part of the camp on Thursday. Authorities are barred from moving migrants by force.

Known as “the Jungle,” the camp, on the outskirts of the port town of Calais, officially houses 3,700 migrants from countries

including Sudan, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Syria. Many living there hope to cross the Channel to reach Britain.

Migrants affected by the ruling can move into heated shipping containers in the camp or reception centers around France, or claim asylum, the government said, but critics say there isn’t enough accommodation.

“The aim is to ensure that noone has to live in undignified conditions any longer,” the government said in a statement.

Ginny Howells, Save the Children’s emergency manager in Calais, said the decision will “make what was already an appalling situation for children even worse.”

“Homes and shelters will be destroyed without there being enough spaces in the new accommodation for people to move into,” she said.

Migrants wait for a distribution of clothes on Friday at the "Jungle" migrants and refugees camp, in Calais.

Belgium sent authorities to monitor three border crossings with France this week ahead of the Lille court’s ruling.

“It’s our express intention to avoid tent camps like Calais in our country,” Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve criticized the decision: “Any claim that this could cause an increase in the flow of migrants to the Belgian border does not correspond to reality.”

Europe is facing its biggest refugee crisis since world War II, with large numbers of people arriving in Greece by boat from Turkey — many of them Syrians fleeing the civil war — and others sailing to Italy from North Africa.

Friday, the International Organization for Migration said more than 120,000 migrants arrived in Greece and Italy in 2016.

Think of Infantino as more in the mold of modern businessman rather than an old-school crony.

In this race he mastered the art of understanding perception, hiring a public relations company that helped London win the 2012 Summer Olympics bid and Qatar the 2022 World Cup. He traversed the globe, visiting more than 90 countries while shaking hands and espousing change.

Such spin doctoring was necessary to get him clear of the stigma of association with Michel Platini, his former boss and the expresident of UEFA, soccer’s European confederation.

Platini, like Blatter, saw his eight-year ban for illegal payments reduced from eight years to six this week.

“I want to be the president of all of you,” Infantino said after his victory. “FIFA has gone through sad times, moments of crisis. But those times are over.”

Not everyone will be convinced, and why would they be, having been shortchanged for so long?

those who were lost and his gratitude to police officers and other first responders who acted quickly to save lives.”

Hesston Police Department Sgt. Chris Carter was off-duty when the shooting began but was one of the first officers to arrive.

Walton called him a “hero” for loading one of the victims, who had been shot in the parking lot, into his pickup to get him help.

“What crossed my mind was finding the bad guy, protecting everyone else who was there,” Carter said about arriving at the plant, where some of his relatives work. “Overwhelming. But we’re on auto-pilot. We’re trained for these. We just do what we’re trained to do.”

Eleven of the wounded were taken to two Wichita hospitals, Via Christi Hospital St. Francis and Wesley Medical Center. One was in critical condition, five were in serious condition and five were in fair condition Friday morning, hospital officials told the Associated Press. The others were taken to a hospital in nearby Newton, and their conditions were not immediately available, according to AP. The shootings began about 5 p.m. as the gunman drove toward the plant. He shot a man in another car, wounding him in the shoulder. Another person was shot in the leg at an intersection a short time later. The gunman was firing a .223-caliber long gun and also had a pistol, Walton said.

Walton said there were about four or five crime scenes in Newton, Harvey County and Excel.

Police killed the suspect when he began firing on officers. The shooter was dead by 5:23 p.m.

Walton described the officer who took him down as “a hero, as far as I’m concerned.”

Police were interviewing 200 people in connection with the case. The FBI; the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Kansas Bureau of Investigation; state highway patrol; Harvey County sheriff’s office; Hesston and Newton police are all investigating,

Walton said.

“I heard some popping noises, but I thought it was just a drill,” Tim Kasper, a laser operator at Excel, told The Kansas City Star.

“Then I heard a three-round burst, and I knew it was something real.

“I got out of there quick. People were running and panicking.

It was chaos.”

Ford was accused of assault by a woman who identified herself in Sedgwick County court records as his live-in girlfriend, according to the Wichita Eagle.

The woman, in a written petition for protection from abuse that was filed Feb. 5, said Ford “placed me in a choke hold from behind — I couldn’t breathe.”

“He is an alcoholic, violent, depressed,” she wrote in her petition, in capital letters, according to the Wichita Eagle. “It’s my belief he is in desperate need of

Walton said Ford was upset when he received the protective order at work, but that recipients are often upset in those circumstances.

“He didn’t display anything that was outrageous,” Walton said. “He just displayed that he was upset with this order.”

Public records show Ford had previous offenses in Florida over the last decade, including burglary, grand theft and fleeing from an officer, according to the AP. He was released from the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections in February 2007, the AP said. In Kansas, he had a misdemeanor conviction in a 2008 fighting or brawling case and various traffic violations in 2014 and 2015, the AP reported.

IN BRIEF 9 PREGNANT U.S. TRAVELERS INFECTED WITH ZIKA VIRUS

Nine pregnant U.S. travelers have been diagnosed with Zika, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Health officials are investigating 10 additional possible Zika cases in pregnant women.

Two of the women miscarried, two had abortions and three gave birth. Two of the babies apparently were healthy; one had microcephaly, a birth defect in babies born with abnormally small heads. Health officials have previously reported that an American woman who traveled to Brazil gave birth in Hawaii to a baby with microcephaly.

Two of the women with confirmed Zika cases remain pregnant, according to the CDC. None of the women were hospitalized.

In addition, he says at least nine bodies of civilians could be seen outside the hotel.

INSULTS RAMP UP REPUBLICAN RACE

FROM LEFT, MARCO RUBIO, DONALD TRUMP AND TED CRUZ BY DAVID J. PHILLIP, AP

CHOKER? David M. Jackson USA TODAY

The Republican presidential race may be boiling down to an accused “con artist” vs. an accused “choker” vs. an accused “basket case.”

Those are the names Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz applied to each other during and after a contentious debate Thursday, days before they and rivals John Kasich and Ben Carson seek delegates in the 11 state contests known as Super Tuesday.

Trump, the Republican frontrunner who came under assault all night from Rubio and Cruz, responded by referring to Rubio’s debate-fueled “meltdown” in New Hampshire last month and again accusing Cruz of lying about his record.

“When you’re a choker, you’re always a choker,” Trump said of Rubio during a CNN interview HOUSTON

CON ARTIST? after the debate. “We can’t have that.”

During the debate, Trump told Cruz, “I’m relaxed — you’re the basket case.”

Rubio, who had been reticent toward Trump before attacking him in the debate over his business practices and unrealistic policy proposals, maintained his new aggressive stance in a series of post-debate interviews.

“We are not going to turn over the conservative movement to a con artist who is telling people one thing but has spent 40 years sticking it to working Americans and now claims to be their champion,” Rubio told NBC’s Today show.

The Florida senator again cited a lawsuit over the now-defunct “Trump University” and the New York businessman’s hiring practices: “He’s being sued for fraud, for defrauding people.

Cruz, who long has attacked Trump for supporting Democratic positions and politicians in the past, said the debate exposed that Trump is a false conservative with “New York values.”

While Trump claims to oppose illegal immigration, he has made money off foreign workers, Cruz said. While he has pledged to repeal President Obama’s health

care plan, he has expressed support for “socialized medicine.”

Trump “seems to live in his own reality,” the Texas senator told Fox News after the debate.

The candidates vowed to continue fighting as they head into the Tuesday delegates contests, most of them in southern states where Trump polls well. Super Tuesday also includes what amounts to a must-win for Cruz in his home state of Texas.

Trump taunted Cruz in a Friday tweet, saying, “Have a good chance to win Texas on Tuesday.

Cruz is a nasty guy, not one Senate endorsement and, despite talk, gets nothing done. Loser!”

Trump noted he leads the polls in most of the Tuesday states and won three of the first four Republican delegate contests.

Kasich, who is looking ahead to future primaries in Michigan (March 8) and his home state of Ohio (March 15), told Fox News his three opponents are engaged

in “a demolition derby” that “I’m not interested in being a part of.”

The Ohio governor said voters will come around to his more positive message.

Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who is lagging in polls, dismissed comments by an adviser he may have to pull out of the race if he doesn’t do well Tuesday.

“You could talk to 10 people and they’ll say you have to do it here and you have to do it now,” Carson told CNN. “That’s just so irrelevant. What’s relevant is what direction are you going in.

How much support do you have and what are you trying to accomplish.”

Rivals acknowledged that Trump remains ahead in the race for the nomination, and catching him may not be easy.

Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, Rubio said that “I acknowledge I’m an underdog, and I have been my entire life.”

D

onald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Ben Carson debated at the University of Houston on Thursday in the 10th meeting of the GOP candidates. It was hosted

by CNN and Telemundo. There were several false and misleading claims: uBusinessman Donald Trump flip-flopped on making his tax returns public, one year after saying he would “certainly” release returns if he ran for president. Trump also made the dubious claim he “can’t” release them while being audited. uTrump said Sen. Marco Rubio was “totally wrong” to claim that Trump had to pay a million dollars as a fine for hiring workers who were in the country illegally. Rubio wasn’t totally wrong.

Trump lost a $1 million lawsuit and then settled on appeal for an undisclosed sum. uSen. Ted Cruz claimed that a ‘Wall Street Journal’ article said the state of Arizona has saved “hundreds of millions of dollars” on “welfare, on prisons, and education,” due to tough illegal immigration legislation. But the article said nothing about “welfare.” uCruz said Trump favored the U.S. intervention in Libya that led to the removal of Moammar Gadhafi from power. Trump denied having said that, but Cruz was right. uCruz claimed Sen. Harry Reid favors Trump because “he can cut a deal with him.” But Reid has denounced Trump as a “hateful demagogue.” uTrump wrongly claimed that Americans “pay more personal tax” than residents anywhere in the world. In 2014, the U.S. wasn’t even in the top 10 of industrialized nations in terms of tax revenues as a percentage of GDP or per capita. uTrump claimed he was beating Hillary Clinton “badly” in two polls. He’s barely ahead in one and narrowly trails in the other. uCruz claimed Trump has donated more than $50,000 to members of the Senate who cosponsored the so-called Gang of Eight immigration bill in 2013. We tallied $26,000 total, most of it contributed years before the bill was being considered. uTrump said he wasn’t proposing to build a wall along the U.S.-Canadian border because it’s “about four times longer” than the border with Mexico. Actually, it’s less than three times longer. uAnd Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Cruz and Trump repeated claims we’ve checked before.

TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS

Trump flip-flopped on making his tax returns public, stating the dubious claim that he “can’t” release returns that are being audited.

Trump: “I will absolutely give my return, but I’m being audited now for two or three years, so I can’t do it until the audit is finished, obviously. And I think people would understand that.”

Trump’s refusal to make his returns public until after audits are done is a reversal of the position he stated one year earlier in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, who was also one of CNN’s debate questioners. Back then, Trump said he would “certainly” release returns if he ran for president.

Trump, who said during the debate he has been audited “every year” for a dozen years, would have known he was under audit when he made that promise.

And as anyone who has ever applied for a mortgage is aware, any taxpayer may authorize release of otherwise confidential tax information to a lender — or to anybody else — simply by signing an IRS Form 8821. That form makes no exceptions for returns under audit, and we’re not aware of any law or regulation that would preclude Trump from signing such a form or simply making a public release of copies of what he filed with the IRS. In a post-debate interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Trump elaborated on his reasoning, saying “lawyers would never allow” release while “negotiating” with the IRS: “Of course you don’t put it out. You’re in the midst of negotiating and talking to the IRS. You never put it out. You would never do that. Your lawyers would never allow you to do that.”

That’s not to say he “can’t” release returns, only that he won’t.

TRUMP’S ILLEGAL HIRES?

In a heated debate on illegal immigration, Rubio claimed that Trump “had to pay a million dollars or so” as a fine for hiring workers who were in the country illegally — a claim that Trump said was “totally wrong.” Rubio wasn’t totally wrong.

The Trump Organization was sued by a labor union, lost the case, appealed and, finally, after 20 years settled for an undisclosed sum.

Trump was sued in 1983 by

DAVID J. PHILLIP, AP

union workers who accused him of using workers in the country illegally in 1980 to help demolish a building in New York City so he could construct the Trump Tower. The plaintiffs sought $1 million to be paid into the union’s welfare fund.

As The New York Times wrote, Trump testified in 1990 that he did not know the workers were in the country illegally and he did not hire them. He said the demolition project and the hiring for it was handled by a subcontractor, Kaszycki & Sons Contractors.

A year later, in 1991, a federal judge ruled against the Trump Organization and its partner in the project, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. The judge ordered the plaintiffs to be paid $325,415 plus interest. Trump appealed that decision. By 1998, 15 years after the suit was filed, the plaintiffs’ lead attorney estimated the total payment would amount to $4 million. It was settled in 1999 for an undisclosed sum.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich continues to boast of job creation under his watch.

BORDER BUILDING

Trump said the first reason he’s not proposing to build a wall along the U.S.-Canadian border is that it’s “about four times longer” than the border with Mexico.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, “The United States has 5,525 miles of border with Canada and 1,989 miles with Mexico.” So the Canadian border is officially just under 2.8 times longer than the Mexican border.

YEP, THEY SAID IT AGAIN

NOT BEATING CLINTON ‘BADLY’

Trump was wrong when he claimed he is beating Hillary Clinton “badly” in the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll and the Quinnipiac University Poll.

He is barely ahead in the former and narrowly trails in the latter, and both show the slim leads are within the margin of error.

Trump made his remark when Cruz — correctly — noted that Trump is trailing Clinton in eight of the 10 most recent polls on Real Clear Politics, while Cruz is

either ahead or tied with Clinton in eight of 10 polls.

The USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll does show Trump ahead of Clinton in a hypothetical general election race. The poll, taken Feb. 11-15, has Trump ahead 45-43. However, the margin of error is 3 percentage points in either direction, so his 2-point lead is essentially a statistical tie.

Quinnipiac University Poll, which was taken Feb. 10-15, shows Trump trailing Clinton 4443, although that too is within the margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

In neither poll did Trump “beat her badly.” This is the second time that we have written about Trump’s false claim that he is way ahead of Clinton in the polls. He made a similar claim on Feb. 1, and it was wrong then, too.

AP

Ben Carson didn’t get much airtime during the debate, at one point asking, “Can somebody attack me, please?”

Claims we’ve fact-checked before: uKasich boasted of creating more than 400,000 jobs in Ohio.

As we wrote when Kasich made a similar claim in both the seventh and ninth GOP debates, Ohio has gained 400,700 private-sector jobs under Kasich. But the job growth rate in Ohio was 9.3%, lower than the national privatesector growth rate of 11.7%. uCruz again claimed that the Affordable Care Act has “killed millions of jobs,” as he also said in the seventh debate. But the economy has actually added millions of jobs since the law was enacted, and it has added 2.4 million since January 2015 when the employer mandate went into effect. uTrump also repeated his claim of “self-funding my campaign,” which he said in the last debate. As we pointed out, nearly 66% of the campaign’s money has come from Trump, through the end of 2015. The rest — totaling $6.5 million — has come from individual donors.

dance at the meeting on Apple’s corporate campus here, applauded Apple’s stance. Jackson compared the current climate to the darkest days of the J. Edgar Hoover-led FBI. “I recall the FBI wire-tapping of Dr. (Martin Luther) King (Jr.) and the Civil Rights and black movements and organizations,” Jackson said. “We cannot go down this path again.”

Apple’s standoff with the FBI goes beyond a fundamental debate over the Constitution and privacy vs. national security and safety. Its financial implications run deep for Apple, according to financial analysts. If Apple weak-

ens its products to assist the FBI, it runs the risk of losing the trust, and business, of its customers.

Apple has made its name, in part, through highly secure products and its stance on privacy, says Holger Mueller, principal analyst at Constellation Research.

Cook disclosed Apple has acquired 19 companies over the past five quarters, poured $8.5 billion into research and development and now employs 116,000 people worldwide. Jackson lauded Apple for progress in making inclusion a priority in its upper ranks and boardroom.

“The thousands of blacks and Latinos hired at Apple year over year is impressive,” he said. He noted the appointment of James Bell, an African American, to its board a “positive step in the right direction.”

Diversity, Cook said, “continues to be an area we remain deeply committed to. The most successful companies of the future will be the most diverse.”

China continues to be a revenue jackpot for Apple, where it is the No. 2 market. Cook said India holds vast potential, but infrastructure issues pose a challenge.

Apple also re-elected its eightmember board, including Cook, former vice president Al Gore and chairman Arthur Levinson.

The economy wasn’t as feeble as believed late last year as businesses throttled back stockpiling less than initially estimated.

The nation’s gross domestic product — a measure of all the goods and services produced in the economy — expanded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1% in the fourth quarter, above the 0.7% initially estimated, the Commerce Department said Friday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected a downward revision to 0.3% growth.

Growth was still weak in the quarter and below the roughly 2.3% pace that has marked the nearly seven-year-old recovery.

For all of 2015, the economy grew 2.4%, an estimate unchanged after Friday’s revisions.

Manufacturing and business investment have been crimped by a weak global economy and strong dollar that have dampened exports, as well as a sharp downturn in drilling activity amid the plunge in oil prices. Consumer spending supported the economy through much of 2015, but even that slowed more than first estimated in the final three months of the year.

Job growth, by contrast, averaged a robust 279,000 a month in the quarter, and many economists believe it provides a more accurate picture of the economy than GDP, which can be difficult to measure and is subject to multiple revisions.

Businesses slowed their stockpiling last quarter but that subtracted just 0.14% from growth, less than the nearly half a percentage point first estimated.

That, however, could mean companies will have to do more to shrink bloated inventories in the current quarter, possibly curtailing growth.

“Unfortunately, the cause of the upward revision bodes ill for the first quarter,” Chris Williamson, chief economist of Markit, wrote in a note to clients.

Imports fell 0.6% instead of rising slightly as the government previously believed, narrowing the U.S. trade gap. A stronger dollar generally has made U.S. products more expensive overseas and imports cheaper for American consumers. Business outlays on equipment, a measure of capital spending, fell 1.8%, less than the 2.5% first estimated.

Consumer spending grew 2%, down from the 2.2% first estimated. Consumption has been lifted by cheap gas, job growth and lower household debt, but wage gains have yet to pick up in earnest.

The information potentially stolen includes Social Security numbers, birth dates and other data that cyber thieves could use to impersonate a real taxpayer, file a false federal tax return and collect a refund.

The unidentified electronic attackers got in, giving the IRS an embarrassing black eye, by taking taxpayer information they acquired elsewhere and using it to correctly answer personal identity-verification questions in the “Get Transcript” application on

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

The IRS added 390,000 accounts to its estimate Friday.

the agency’s website.

The function, disabled after the IRS discovered the breach last May, enabled legitimate taxpayers to view their tax account transactions or line-by-line tax return information for a specific tax year.

The cyber thieves unsuccessfully tried to gain access to more than 500,000 other taxpayer accounts, the IRS said. That total is also far higher than previously estimated.

The heightened threat to U.S. taxpayers was documented in a

nine-month review by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which oversees the IRS. The cyber thieves gained access to taxpayer accounts between January 2014, the launch for the Get Transcript function, and May 2015, the IRS said.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said his agency plans to mail notifications and assistance offers to taxpayers whose accounts showed signs of suspicious access. The offers include a free Equifax identity theft protection product for one year, along with IRS personal identification numbers.

Additionally, the IRS is placing extra scrutiny on taxpayers’ Social Security numbers and sharing information about the attack with state tax officials.

“The IRS is committed to protecting taxpayers on multiple fronts against tax-related identity theft, and these mailings are part of that effort,” Koskinen said.

The cyber breach represents

one of many computer problems the IRS has confronted recently.

An electronic outage caused by sequential failure of a voltage regulator and backup regulator on a computer that handles tax returns for millions of Americans halted processing for approximately 30 hours this month.

The tax agency also disclosed this month that it had detected unauthorized efforts to gain access to e-file personal identification numbers for more than 450,000 Social Security numbers.

Approximately 101,000 of those efforts, which occurred in January, succeeded in accessing an efile ID number, the IRS said.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Operations, accused the IRS of incompetency over the two hacking incidents during a hearing this month.

“The IRS doesn’t have its house in order at any level,” said Chaffetz, who has urged the House to impeach Koskinen.

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

At the start of the year, the Dow Jones industrial average had trouble posting one up day, let alone a gain for a full week. But things are better on Wall Street, where fear levels have gone down and stocks have gone up.

The Dow has finished higher two consecutive weeks, something it has not been able to do since a six-week winning streak ending the week of Nov. 6, 2015.

Fueling the rally is a sentiment shift on Wall Street, where fears of a coming U.S. recession are abating amid an incoming array of better-than-expected economic data. Friday, the second revision of fourth-quarter 2015 U.S. growth came in at 1%, up from the initial reading of 0.7% and

Stocks have also gotten a boost from a stabilization in oil prices around $33 per barrel. Comments from China’s top central banker also calmed investors’ nerves this week.

Investors like what they see in Buffett’s future

Q: Is Berkshire Hathaway a buy?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Warren Buffett hasn’t looked like much of an Oracle of Omaha lately. But analysts think his Berkshire Hathaway is an opportunity.

Shares of Buffett’s Berkshire have been struggling. Class A shares are down 11% over the past 12 months, closing at $198,191 each — trailing the roughly 7% decline by the Standard & Poor’s 500. Investors have hurt the stock on fears some of Berkshire’s most economically sensitive businesses could slow in a weak economy.

Investors are hoping for better profit margins from the company’s insurance businesses, for instance.

Additionally, Berkshire has taken some lumps on its public holdings.

American Express is one of Berkshire’s biggest investments. But shares of the company have fallen by a third over the past year.

Investors also seem to be pricing in a flat year for revenue in 2016. Analysts expect Berkshire’s revenue this year to drop 0.4% to $209.6 billion.

But Berkshire’s insurance business stands to gain market share in 2016, Catherine Seifert of S&P Global says. All told, analysts see the company’s adjusted earnings jumping 17% this year.

Analysts think Berkshire’s shares will be 21% higher in 18 months.

Herbalife shares rise sharply on news of talks with FTC Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Shares of Herbalife rose sharply Friday after the embattled multilevel marketer of nutritional supplements disclosed it is in talks with the Federal Trade Commission to resolve an investigation of its marketing practices.

Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has targeted Herbalife.

sent regarding the company’s advertising, marketing and sale of business opportunities, Herbalife said in its annual report filed late

Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Herbalife said it is cooperating with the investigation and signaled that outcomes of the discussions range from a potential FTC decision to file a contested civil lawsuit, further discussions leading to a settlement that includes a monetary payment or closure of the regulatory probe without any action.

“No assurances can be given that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the company’s business operations, its financial condition or its results of

operations,” Herbalife cautioned in the filing.

Reiterating previous disclosures, the company said its business or marketing practices are also under investigation by the SEC and Department of Justice.

Herbalife said it is also cooperating with those reviews.

Additionally, the company has been targeted since late 2012 by Pershing Square Capital Management hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. He has shorted the Herbalife shares — making a large bet the stock value will decline — after accusing the company of running an illegal pyramid

scheme that profits by enrolling increasing numbers of new salespeople who sell the firm’s nutritional products rather than through sales of the products themselves.

So far, Ackman’s strategy hasn’t succeeded. Without referring to the hedge fund manager by name, Herbalife’s annual filing said the company “believes these allegations are without merit and is vigorously defending itself against such claims,” including contacting government authorities about potential “manipulative activity” involving the company’s stock.

LESSONS FROM ASHLEY GREENE

Carly Mallenbaum l USA TODAY

Being a party-hopping Hollywood starlet during Awards Season is pretty glamorous, right? Yes. But it’s also a lot of work. In fact, “it’s insanity,” says Ashley Greene, known for playing Alice Cullen in the Twilight franchise and is Mia in Rogue, which premieres March 23 and is available to DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse customers. “Being an actor, for me, it means something” to honor nominees, she said. Of course, celebrating talented movie stars means more than just saying “Congrats.” Oscar week has become “an influx of events and parties and fittings,” she says. We joined Greene, who’s attending Elton John’s exclusive Oscar viewing party Sunday, at one such dress fitting. Here are five things we learned about what it takes for a celebrity to prep for an Oscar soiree.

But finding that perfect piece of clothing is a lengthy process.

MIKE KOFSKY, USA TODAY

Greene starts the selection by, in this case, going to a hotel room and sorting through a rack of dozens of outfits (worth thousands of dollars) that are handpicked by her stylist, Cristina Ehrlich (who also dresses Brie Larson and Tina Fey). Ehrlich helps Greene choose about 10 “heroes” — which are the dresses that immediately excite both of them — before Greene goes through rounds and rounds of trying on the garments, examining them in a mirror, eliminating options, taking photos and looking at those pictures again on the computer. The rounds of deliberation all take place before there’s any discussion about hair, makeup, accessories and shoes.

Actress Ashley Greene meets with her stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, to try on looks for Greene to wear at Elton John’s exclusive Oscars shindig on Sunday. She will be going solo.

2 Not only does Greene plan outfits

one name) on hand to sew up the winning picks, Greene wasn’t confident that all of her “heroes” would be ready by party time for two main reasons: one, not all designers allow alterations to their clothing, which Greene will return after she borrows the dress for a night, and two, not all dresses allow for easy resizing. In Greene’s case, one hero, a beaded Naeem Khan gown, was potentially too complicated to have altered. (By the end of the fitting, she was still deciding between wearing that Naeem Khan, the Amanda Wakeley dress and a red off-shoulder Safiyaa gown.)

CONSIDER EVERYTHING, INCLUDING CARPET COLOR

for specific events, but she and her stylist think about carpet color (the Elton John party has had a white carpet in the past), backdrop (for photos) and event space, so Greene can wear the appropriate, complementary colors and cuts for her environment. Here are just a few of the many questions Greene and Ehrlich tried answering during their fitting: Did Greene wear something by that designer recently? Did she wear something similar to the same party last year? Should she wear something sexy now, because she’s at the right age (29) to do it?

Should she wear a tea-length dress, because that cut is “having a moment,” as Ehrlich says? (They wouldn’t have the answers by the end of the fitting.)

3 Years ago, Greene took media criTHINK ABOUT TOMORROW’S HEADLINES

tiques of her outfits “into account a lot,” but “at this point it’s become easier not to (care),” she says.

However, Greene says that she does try to avoid participating in “Who wore it best?” contests, by

trying not to wear the same thing another actress has worn. And she’s admittedly thinking twice about wearing a purple Amanda Wakeley number with plunging neckline Sunday after a recent Daily Mail story claimed she “flaunted her assets” at another party.

has four), brunch, hair and makeup, going to the event, running into “a thousand people” that she rarely sees, going to an after party, and spending “six hours at a time in 5-inch heels,” Greene, who’s going to the Elton John party solo, is spent by the time she gets home, which might be 12 hours after the makeup was first applied. “I walk in and immediately take off the dress, take off the shoes, and the sweatpants go right on,” she says.

Feel-good ‘Eagle’ sticks the landing Jackman, Egerton bring home win for Olympic underdogs We’ve got Rudy. They’ve got Eddie.

A British Olympic ski jumper whose heart outweighed his talent gets the biopic treatment with MOVIE Eddie the Eagle REVIEW BRIAN (eee out of four; TRUITT rated PG-13; in theaters Friday nationwide), a delightfully feel-good though hopelessly fluffy affair directed by Dexter Fletcher that slaloms around complete hokum thanks to a pair of winning performances.

A transformed Taron Egerton trades in his good looks from Kingsman: The Secret Service in favor of nerdy glasses and a dorky façade as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, an unfamiliar folk hero for those not hardcore into international sports.

From a young age, he dreams of filling up a tin with gold medals instead of broken spectacles from his unfortunate “training” mishaps,

but even when he gets to be quite the downhill skier, he doesn’t have what it takes for the English national squad.

Instead of a career as a plasterer, though, Eddie turns his sights to the death-defying heights of ski jumping and heads to Germany to train for the 1988 Winter Olympics, where the Brits had never had a competitor. (As a team of one, all he had to do was reach the lowest qualifying mark to make the Games.) No one takes him seriously because he’s much more “agony of defeat” than “thrill of victory,” yet Eddie finds an unconventional coach in Bronson Peary (Hugh Jackman), a former Olympic hopeful from America whose bad-boy ways overshadowed his athletic accomplishments.

Eddie does end up in Calgary and endears himself to the crowd, much to the chagrin of snooty British sports officials and fellow team members, who are way too cool for the likes of him. A quick Wikipedia search tells all you need to know about how Eddie fared, but like its spiritual underdog predecessor, the football-cen-

LARRY HORRICKS

British ski jumper Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards (Taron Egerton) and his coach Bronson Peary (Hugh Jackman) celebrate the small things in Eddie the Eagle.

tric Rudy, Eddie the Eagle cares much more for its hero’s spirit of competition than him actually winning anything.

Therein lies its charm, boosted overall by Egerton and Jackman playing against type to a degree.

The younger star totally immerses himself in the hapless Eddie, a character so whitebread that milk is the hardest stuff he

drinks. And while Jackman is better known for wearing muscles and claws as Wolverine, the Australian A-lister also plays the flawed father figure well (see: the underrated Real Steel).

He and Egerton have a sparkling chemistry as the movie’s decidedly undynamic duo on the surface — following spill after spill, Eddie finally starts getting into his groove when Bronson has him liken the act of ski jumping to bedding his crush Bo Derek. It’s a scene that’s a little subversive to its family-friendly mold but balances the sometimes-sugary sweetness of Sean Macaulay and Simon Kelton’s inspirational screenplay.

Christopher Walken has an all-too-brief role as Bronson’s estranged mentor, a lot of Eddie’s “competition” come off as smarmy one-note antagonists, and even the good vibes are too much at times. But for those who like a certain retro style with their sports cinema, a synthesizer-driven soundtrack and ’80s pastiche combined with its stars gives Eddie enough flair to really fly.

Jayhawks looking to make it a dozen in a row

BASKETBALL CITY SHOWDOWN

Night of the Lion

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

If Kansas University’s No. 2-ranked basketball team, which has won eight consecutive games, today is able to defeat a Texas Tech squad that has won five in a row and six of seven, the Jayhawks will be crowned Big 12 champs for the 12thstraight season.

A victory in the 11 a.m. tip in Allen Fieldhouse would assure yet another accomplishment for the ages for KU’s hoops program, which is on the heels of UCLA, which won an all-time best 13 consecuPac 10 UP NEXT tive titles from Who: Kansas 1967 to ’79.

“Oh, they (24-4, 12-3) would be exvs. Texas cited. I think Tech (18-9, they would 8-7) be excited When: 11 regardless of a.m. today where you Where: Allen get it, but Fieldhouse certainly an opportunity TV: ESPN to do it at (WOW! channels 33, home would be great,” 233) KU coach Bill Self said of his players having a chance to gain at least a share of the crown with two games yet to play.

A KU victory would give the Jayhawks at least a share of the 2015-16 crown today no matter what happens in the Oklahoma-at-Texas and West Virginia-at-Okie State games. A KU win plus OU and West Virginia losses would give the Jayhawks the undisputed title.

“We shouldn’t even be talking like that. We should be talking about playing Texas Tech, and that’s how we’ll handle it with our guys,” stated Self, realizing nothing is guaranteed against a Tech team that has wins over No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 21 Baylor and No. 14 Iowa State in the five-game stretch of wins.

“If we are able to take care of business and do well, then you have a chance to celebrate a little bit. But the reality of it is, our last three games are against teams that are all ranked in the top 25 in the RPI, so we’ve still got a lot of work to do,” Self added.

Of course, it’d take a monumental collapse — KU travels to Texas on Monday and faces Iowa State next Saturday in Allen — for the Jayhawks to not earn Big 12 title No. 12 in a row.

The fact the Jayhawks at one point were 5-3 overall and 1-3 on the road has made some wonder where this title would rank in 13th-year coach Self’s eyes.

“Not all of them we were picked to win, but the majority of them, it was expected,” Self said. “So I don’t think I’d have one that stands out more than any others, at least in my mind, but I do think this one would be significant for our players and for me and our staff, because it’s a year in which if we’re able to do it, it’s a year in which the conference was probably the best it’s ever been, and it was as old (veteran players) as it’s ever been.

“There are a lot of positives about our league that winning it this year, at least from our perspective, would probably be more of an accomplishment because you’re not going through Please see HOOPS, page 4C

LAWRENCE HIGH’S PRICE MORGAN IS LIFTED BY LHS STUDENTS who rushed the court following the Lion boys’ 75-60 victory over Free State on Friday night at FSHS.

Morgan powers LHS boys, 75-60

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

About a minute after the final buzzer sounded in the boys basketball City Showdown on Friday, Lawrence High senior Price Morgan was lifted into the air by a few of his classmates.

After Morgan carried the Lions to a 75-60 victory over Free State at FSHS, it was only fair that everyone else returned the favor, especially on his birthday.

Morgan, a 6-foot-4 forward and Air Force football signee, made a pair of free throws in the first four seconds and never looked back on his way to a team-high 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting.

Whether it was post moves in the paint with a few spins, mid-range jumpers or shots at the free-throw line, he was unstoppable.

In the first quarter, Morgan scored eight points, and it was only his warm-up act.

He scored 10 straight LHS

points in the first five minutes of the second quarter.

His teammates kept feeding him the ball in the high post, and he continued to deliver with buckets, sending the Lions to a 33-20 halftime lead.

“I went home before the game and got a couple of shots up in the yard,” Morgan said. “It just felt good coming out. As the night kept going, I was like, ‘Oh, this could be good for me.’ It seemed to pay off all right.”

Morgan is an undersized

forward in the Sunflower League, but he makes up for it with his strength on drives down the lane. When his jump shot is falling, he only becomes more dangerous.

“He starts getting into a rhythm, and he’s a very capable outside shooter,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “He was, just going to get after it and it was going to take a team to stop him.”

Stafford injury dampens Lion girls’ win

LAWRENCE HIGH’S E’LEASE STAFFORD, RIGHT, drives to the basket against Free State’s Madison Piper. The LHS girls defeated the Firebirds, 52-43, on Friday night at FSHS.

Suddenly, the scoreboard took on secondary importance, and the packed gymnasium grew quiet Friday night, late in the third quarter of the girls City Showdown.

Lawrence High’s leading scorer, sophomore E’lease Stafford, was on the ground, grimacing from the sort of knee pain that makes everybody looking on cringe with fingers crossed.

Stafford was helped off the court by the coach and the trainer, and her teammates were able to tame their emotions and protect the lead they had built with terrific defense to defeat Free State, 52-43.

The extent of Stafford’s knee injury, sustained with 43.6 seconds remaining in the third quarter and the Lions leading by 11 points, was not known after the game.

“I don’t want to speculate,” second-year LHS coach Jeff Dickson said. “I think all of us know, based on what we looked at, what we’re all

afraid of. But I’m a pretty optimistic guy, so I’m just going to wait and see what happens and what we find out. Hopefully, it’s good news and not bad news.”

If LHS must play the remainder of the season without its leading scorer, it already has a blueprint to follow.

“Our kids showed a lot of mental toughness to play through that,” Dickson said.

“I tried to keep it out of my mind, and I think they did a better job of it than I did.

They did a nice job of staying focused and playing possession by possession by possession, which is something we preach all season long.

And that’s probably the best we’ve played all season for a whole game.”

The Lions weren’t in the mood to celebrate the wellplayed victory because of Stafford’s misfortune.

“We all shared the ball very well,” junior Skylar Drum said. “We’re not happy, obviously, that she’s hurt, but we Please see LHS GIRLS, page 3C

ACC reprimands Duke’s Allen Greensboro, N.C. — The Atlantic Coast Conference has reprimanded Duke guard Grayson Allen for an incident involving Florida State’s Xavier Rathan-Mayes.

The league issued a threeparagraph statement Friday after reviewing the game, saying Allen was reprimanded for his “involvement in the tripping of” Rathan-Mayes.

ACC officials say the is matter closed and they will not comment further.

Allen stuck his left leg out and Rathan-Mayes tripped and fell with 3.4 seconds left in No. 15 Duke’s 80-65 home victory Thursday night. That incident happened after Rathan-Mayes appeared to grab the back of Allen’s jersey in an attempt to fling himself downcourt.

Official Tony Greene, positioned next to the players, did not call a foul.

In a victory over Louisville two weeks earlier, Allen received a flagrant foul for tripping the Cardinals’ Ray Spalding.

How former Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Raptors 99, Cavaliers 97 Jayhawks fared CONFERENCE — Rickie Fowler kept bogeysAMERICAN Toronto FOOTBALL — Kyle Lowry off his card for the second straight round Friday for a 4-under 66 and the early lead in the Honda Classic.

In some respects, it was identical to Fowler’s opening round — no bogeys, another 66 in windy conditions and a big par save on his 10th hole.

Having started on the back nine, Fowler worked himself out of his toughest spot well right of the fairway and managed to get upand-down for par to keep some momentum.

Otherwise, this was a clean day. His longest par putt was 12 feet on the fourth hole after driving into the bunker, and he ended his round with a 25-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole to reach 8-under 132.

Jimmy Walker finished birdie-eagle, holing a 40-foot putt on the 18th hole for a 66 and was one shot behind. Sergio Garcia had a 69 and was another stroke back.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 2-over 72 and was 2-over par for the tournament, tied for 45th.

Fowler is the first person to go bogey-free over the opening 36 holes at the Honda Classic since it moved to PGA National in 2007.

“I’m definitely pleased about that,” Fowler said. “Got a nice break on 1 to kind of continue that.”

“I think we all just felt like we don’t have any more chances after this, so we might as well put everything on the floor now,” Gudde said. “We just kind of started too late. We didn’t start until the end of the third quarter.”

But the Lions made 25 of their 27 free throws and refused to create any extra drama in the final minutes. LHS senior Fred Brou put the final touches on the victory with a twohanded slam on a drive along the baseline in the final 90 seconds, giving Morgan his dream ending on his birthday.

night didn’t stop in the first half. After junior Jackson Mallory and senior Anthony Harvey drilled three-pointers to open the third quarter, Morgan scored six straight points, helping the Lions (18-2, ranked No. 1 in Class 6A) to a 20-point lead.

Morgan’s teammates weren’t surprised by his shooting touch but they were happy to sit back and watch him work his magic.

“Just get him the ball as much as possible and let him do his thing,” said Mallory, who had seven points, seven rebounds and six assists. “He’s not the biggest big man in the league, but he’s definitely the toughest and definitely has the most heart.”

Free State coach Sam Stroh added: “That kid is a flat-out winner. He took it right to us. Simple as that.”

Along with Morgan, the Lions wanted to start fast. It’s been a problem for them in the past few games, and they responded by scoring on 10 of their first 12 possessions, racing to a quick 21-10 lead. Senior point guard Justin Roberts scored seven of his 18 points in the first quarter.

“It really intensifies the game and our defense just turns up that much of a notch,” Harvey said of the start. “Everybody is screaming, yelling and we’re playing hard defense, that’s a hard team to play against.”

The Firebirds (14-6, ranked No. 9) found an offensive rhythm in the fourth quarter, cutting their deficit to eight points with 2:18 remaining on a free throw from senior Chrision Wilburn. Senior Hunter Gudde scored 10

Drum did more than her share to ensure victory for the Lions (11-9).

She was charged with the difficult task of chasing Free State star Madison Piper through screens and made the quick, strong, skilled, smart, driven junior earn her 16 points and 11 rebounds, both game-high totals.

Drum, showing recently the offensive assertiveness Dickson has been pleading for all season, added 12 points and four rebounds.

Veritas beat Wichita Homeschool, 61-59, early, but fell to Topeka Heritage, 48-44, late.

I’ve never been involved in anything like that before.”

More than anything, it was the Lions’ size that made them a tough matchup for Free State, Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan said.

Jaycie Bishop and Jaelyn Two Hearts hit big, fourth-quarter threepointers for the Firebirds, but Lawrence consistently responded.

Lawrence quickly took control of the game early and never surrendered.

The Lions rode a 10-2 run to take a 15-9 lead after a first quarter in which they made 3 of 5 threepointers. Olivia Lemus made both of her threepointers and scored eight of her team-high 15 points in the opening quarter.

DeForest to coach KU special teams

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Kan. — Five hours after confirming to the Journal-World the hiring of former West Virginia assistant Joe DeForest to become his special-teams coordinator, second-year Kansas University football coach David Beaty revealed that a coaching staff that was decimated by departures this offseason was nearly full again.

“Actually, we’re getting close to being done,” Beaty said Friday night from Sporting KC’s home field, where he entertained a group of 250-300 KU football supporters during KU’s final Football in February event. “We actually have another guy that we’ve already hired.

We’re just waiting on the background check to get here, so our D-line job is gonna be full here pretty quick, and then hopefully we’ll finish the runningback job maybe Monday.”

Beaty did not reveal the identity of either candidate for the two remaining vacancies, but did admit he was relieved to have the hiring all but done with a week to spare before the start of spring practices.

“It’s great to get it behind us, and I’m just excited to get those guys here,” he said. “They’re on fire for KU, and they’re excited to get here, and that’s a really cool deal.”

Having nearly a week to get his staff on the same page before opening spring practice on March 6 was invaluable, Beaty said. And he added

“These guys are all pros,” Beaty said.

“They’ve been around it for a long time, and most of ’em know our systems, so it’s a pretty easy slidein there.”

One guy who will get a jump-start on the others is DeForest, a veteran of the Big 12 who comes to Kansas after a four-year stint at West Virginia that followed an 11-year run at Oklahoma State.

Beaty said he spoke briefly to DeForest about joining his initial KU staff at the beginning of 2015 and added, “It was gonna

be really tough to get him away from there.”

As luck would have it, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen last month chose not to retain DeForest, and that left DeForest looking for a job at the same time KU was looking to fill its coaching roster.

DeForest coached special teams during his entire career at Oklahoma State. After serving as West Virginia’s defensive coordinator for one season in 2012, he took over as special-teams coordinator for the Mountaineers from 2013-15.

teams have been in special teams in the Big 12,” Beaty said of DeForest.

“He has led every category at some point in time throughout his career in the Big 12. And he’s done it often, not just a couple times.”

Demoted from DC to special-teams coordinator after a 2012 season in which the WVU defense surrendered nearly 500 yards of offense per game, DeForest found success with West Virginia’s special teams and safeties.

As safeties coach, DeForest helped develop WVU standouts Karl Joseph, K.J. Dillon and

Dravon Askew-Henry, and his special-teams units also featured a few standouts, with kicker Josh Lambert earning Lou Groza Award finalist status in 2014, punter Nick O’Toole being named allBig 12 in 2015 and a kickreturn unit, led by dynamic return man Mario Alford, that ranked eighth nationally.

As was the case throughout 2015, Beaty continued to emphasize the importance of KU performing well in the third phase of the game to help close the gap between KU and the rest of the Big 12.

time that we put into the kicking game, we needed to be better,” Beaty said.

“That has to be a third (phase) that we win, and his production gives us something that we can lean on moving forward.”

DeForest, 50, earned $375,000 with the Mountaineers in 2015 and likely was hired by Beaty for significantly less. Since 1990, he also has held various full-time coaching positions at Duke and Rice.

DeForest seems to fit the mold of Beaty’s staff in that he is an intense competitor with incredible energy and a passion for recruiting. He has strong ties in both Houston and parts of Florida.

DeForest becomes the third new full-time assistant added to Beaty’s staff this offseason — he joins wide-receivers coach Jason Phillips and linebackers coach Todd Bradford — and if the final two hires go as smoothly as Beaty projected Friday night, all five coaching vacancies will be filled less than a week after No. 5 became official.

“The response was overwhelming from people who wanted to come here and be a part of this university,” Beaty said.

“It was really cool and it just speaks volumes about what it means to be a Jayhawk.

“We had the season we had, and every single coach on our staff had job offers. Every single one of them. I feel good about the men that we hired, and we’re going to continue to try to get the right guys in here.”

current players united in a tight bond with former players.

“We kind of have an understanding to represent some streak that has been made by those people who have come before us and made possible by them,” Lucas said. “There’s just kind of an understanding there’s something greater than us we have to keep alive.

Every time they are back we do talk to them about it. We understand what’s on the line every year.”

Self, whose team chants, “Big 12 champs,” in the huddle at the end of every practice, said “The goal for this team is not to win 12 in a row but one in a row. Every team in America has a goal of winning league. Our guys have done some things to put themselves in position to do that. What we have to do is finish the job. Now you’ve got to close. I think our guys will be excited for the opportunity to do that.” l

This, that: Tubby Smith is 45-46 in his third season at Tech and 556272 in his 25th season overall. He is 2-8 versus KU and 0-5 while at TTU; Self is 17-6 vs. Tech, 16-3 as KU coach. ... Tech’s top seven scorers average between 10.9 and 8.6 points per game. Guard Toddrick Gotcher averages 10.9 points per outing, followed by guard Devaugntah Williams (10.8 ppg) and forward Aaron Ross (10.7 ppg).

Ross averages 13.1 ppg in league play. Forward Zach Smith averages 7.1 rebounds per contest. ...

KU has won 13 in a row against Tech and leads the all-time series, 30-4. ... KU is 15-0 against Tech in Allen Fieldhouse. ... KU beat Tech, 69-59, on Jan. 9 in Lubbock. Frank Mason III had 17 points and 10 boards for KU. Mason, by the way, surpassed the wins have come is going 1,000-point mark on Feb. 20 at K-State and is 56th to be fun,” Lucas said.

Lucas said winning in career scoring at KU at league is what keeps the 1,020 points.

Tampa, Fla. — Kansas University found itself on both ends of walk-off endings to college softball games Friday at the South Florida Softball Stadium.

After Daniella Chavez gave the Jayhawks a 2-1 victory over Wisconsin with a walk-off home run early Friday, a walk-off double sent KU to a 6-5 loss to South Florida in the evening.

In the first game, Chaley Brickey homered in the fourth to tie the game.

A double by Shannon McGinley was KU’s only other hit.

KU’s Ania Williams tossed a four-hitter, striking out seven.

In the evening game, KU (5-7) a 4-0 lead in the top of the first, but USF scored a single run in the bottom of the first and four in the fifth for a 5-4 lead.

Harli Ridling tied it with a solo shot in the top of the sixth, but the Bulls (4-7) won it on Juli Weber’s RBI double in the seventh.

Kansas will face UNLV in the USF tournament at 8:15 a.m. today.

KU tennis falls to WSU Wichita State handed Kansas University’s women’s tennis team its first dual loss of the season, 5-2, on Friday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

Smith Hinton at No. 2 and Nina Khmelnitckaia at No. 4 were KU’s only singles winners. WSU won the doubles points, but KU’s Hinton and Anastasiya Rychagova won the No. 3 doubles match.

“The combination of playing a really good team, having three weeks off and being put in a lot of tough situations didn’t help us,” KU coach Todd Chapman said. “In the end, we know we need to do some learning in how to be a little more composed and continuing to focus.”

The Shockers improved to 11-3, while KU fell to 6-1. The Jayhawks will host New Mexico at noon Sunday.

KU swimming in 2nd at Big 12 Austin, Texas — Kansas University earned 12 podium finishes to climb back up to second place in the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships.

Chelsie Miller placed second in the 400 individual medley and Yulya Kuchkarova was runnerup in the 100 back, while KU’s Pia Pavlic touched out teammate Haley Bishop for second in the 100 fly.

Pavlic finished in 53.80 seconds, Bishop in 53.81.

“That race was just awesome,” KU coach Clark Campbell said.

“Those two and the two Texas kids, hundredths of seconds separated four kids, it was so exciting. I had no idea until the times came up who was where because it just looked like a simultaneous touch, and they eked it out. We worked a lot on finishes in practices, so it was nice to see it come through in a race.”

Texas leads the team race with one day remaining with 707 points. KU is second at 434.5. Iowa State is third at 386.5, West Virginia is fourth at 361 and TCU fifth at 278.

The meet concludes today.
