n the hour Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke here Thursday evening, he discussed issues ranging from health care to equality, education to student loans, and big business to the criminal justice system.

A crowd of 4,200 enthusiastic listeners followed

Sanders’ words inside the 4-H building at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Ryan Shelton, a volunteer with the campaign who helped count heads at the door, said 1,000 more people were still outside when the rally began at 6:45 p.m., bringing up a line that began forming early Thursday afternoon.

Get informed about Saturday’s caucuses

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — For many Kansas voters who attend the Republican and Democratic caucuses Saturday, the process may be like none they’ve experienced in previous elections.

That’s because they aren’t “elections” in the traditional sense of the word, and they are not operated by state and local election officials. They are an activity run by the political parties themselves, and both major parties have their own rules to govern them.

But that hasn’t stopped many people from calling the Douglas County Clerk’s office, the place where local voters would normally go to get answers about voting.

“We are getting swamped,” Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said

Thursday. “There’s a lot of confusion about why their polling place isn’t open.

People are calling to find out their polling place, or what they need to have to be registered. But each party has its own rules.”

Please see CAUCUSES, page 2A

Topeka — A bill pending in the Kansas Legislature could wipe out part of Lawrence’s 2-year-old landlord licensing ordinance because it allows the city to inspect residential rental units without first obtaining permission from the landlord or a search warrant.

House Bill 2665 would prohibit cities and counties from adopting laws that allow periodic inspection of rental housing LEGISLATURE without a search warrant, and it would Inside: Bill declare any existing outlines ordinances that don’t impeachable meet the bill’s stan- offenses for Supreme dards null and void.

It also says ten- Court ants would retain justices. 4A the right to request an inspection, provided they are not subject to an eviction order. But even those could not take place before the landlord has been notified.

Nobody from Lawrence was present in person when the House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee conducted a hearing on the bill Wednesday, but Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx submitted written testimony, strongly opposing the legislation.

“Local elected officials should have the right to establish programs, including rental licensing programs, that promote the health and safety of the residents of their communities,” Amyx said.

Lawrence is just one of several cities that have adopted landlord licensing laws in recent years. Overland Park, Mission, Manhattan and Hutchinson have also adopted similar ordinances recently. Kansas City, Kan., has had one in place since 1996.

Lawrence’s ordinance, adopted in 2014, requires any residential property owner to obtain a license before he or she can lease that property to a tenant.

It also provides that all residential rental units be inspected on roughly a three-year cycle. For landlords who own multiple units, however, the city inspects only 10 percent of those units.

Bernie CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The U.S. senator from Vermont opened his speech talking about the war in Iraq. Not only are veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries from the experiences they have faced overseas, he said, their families and loved ones must also cope with those problems.

“The lesson of Iraq is that we should understand that war is a last resort, not a first resort,” he said. “... We must never, ever turn our backs on the men and women who put their lives on the line.”

Touting his grassroots fundraising efforts, Sanders said his campaign so far had received 4 million individual contributions, with an average donation of $27, and hasn’t taken funds from any super PACs, unlike the campaign of his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, whom he’s hoping to beat in Saturday’s Kansas caucuses.

“What we have done in this campaign in terms of fundraising is revolutionary,” he said.

Sanders, who has described himself as a “democratic socialist,” spoke at length about big business and the issues of income inequality and minimum wage. He said because both parents, and often kids, in many American families are working longer hours for lower wages, they don’t have quality time to spend together.

“Fifty-eight percent of all new income generated today is going to the top 1 percent,” he said, drawing loud boos from the audience. “... Together, we are going to create an economy that works

Caucuses CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

To help orient voters who’ve never taken part in a caucus before, here are some answers to frequently asked questions:

How is a caucus different?

The basic difference is, caucuses are operated, and paid for, solely by the parties themselves. They do not take place at regular polling places, but instead in larger public areas such as a gymnasium or auditorium.

Caucuses also tend to be more group-oriented activities. In the Democratic caucuses, for example, there is no secret ballot.

Voters literally gather together in groups to support a particular candidate, and they can move from one group to another before the final tally is taken. Kansas Republicans are using secret ballots in this year’s caucuses, although there’s no legal requirement to do so.

Voters who are only used to traditional primary and general elections may notice another major difference. “Electioneering” — that is, giving speeches, handing out literature, and vocally encouraging people to vote for one candidate or another — is not only allowed at the polling place in caucuses, it’s openly encouraged.

“socialism” were a negative term in American political discourse, “we’d have something useful.”

“I always think it’s funny that socialism is so widely used, in so many different aspects — the pure fact of taxes existing is a socialistic idea because we’re taking money from everybody to put toward something that we need,” Harris said.

But receiving the strongest reactions from the crowd were Sanders’ statements about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

A Shawnee man pleaded no contest Thursday to two felony charges after police said he stabbed his wife twice last summer.

Navinkumar Patel, 46, was arrested in late June 2015. He is accused of stabbing his wife in the abdomen at Lawrence’s Super 8 motel, 515 McDonald Drive, which he owns.

Three previous plea hearings were rescheduled for Patel since

late January.

A native of India, Patel requires an interpreter to translate court proceedings, which created logistical problems, requiring the previous hearings to be rescheduled.

Initially, Patel faced one felony charge of attempted first- Patel degree murder, but Thursday afternoon prosecuting attorney CJ Rieg amended the charges to one felony count of attempted sec-

ond-degree murder and a felony count of criminal threats.

Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild accepted Patel’s plea and found him guilty of attempted seconddegree murder and criminal threats.

Depending on Patel’s criminal history, he could face a maximum of 22 years in prison, Fairchild said.

To select the best hospitals, Truven looked at things such as patient satisfaction, how the hospitals operated and their financial stability.

Those named in the top 100 had lower mortality rates, fewer patient complications, more timely emergency care, low expenses and sent patients home sooner than other hospitals.

“As the center of health care in this community — not to mention one of Lawrence’s largest employers — we know financial health, operational efficiency and high quality patient care must be at the center of everything we do, and every decision we make,” Meyer said in a news release.

TOP 100 HOSPITALS

In February, Scott Hanks rallied for a public meeting from the Kansas Department of Transportation with the goal that a large turnout would show KDOT the community was against a plan to cut off access from Douglas County Route 438 to Kansas Highway 10.

Thursday night, inside the packed Heritage Baptist Church right off Route 438 — commonly known as the Farmer’s Turnpike — Hanks said he thought his goal had been achieved.

“I want to tell you something, people just do not want Farmer’s Turnpike to close,” he said.

“They are really grilling them over it.”

By Hanks’ estimate, more than 450 filled the church at peak attendance, and at least 30 spoke during a long public comment period.

Most comments were

voiced in opposition to the idea for a future K-10/ Interstate 70 interchange that is to be part of major changes to the South Lawrence Trafficway’s west leg. Should that option be constructed, the interchange would be the northern terminus of K-10, and the current short link north of the freeway connecting to the Farmer’s Turnpike would be abandoned.

Ryan Barrett, a project manager with KDOT, said at the end of the nearly three-hour meeting that KDOT would be working on alternatives to the two plans it presented.

“We are going to regroup,” Barrett said. “We were here to receive feedback, so we’re glad we’re hearing this now.

We’ll see how that affects our progression with what was originally presented.”

Topeka (ap) — A state panel would have the power to sell the assets of a privatization-bound state economic development agency under a bill discussed in a Kansas Senate committee.

The Kansas Bioscience Authority’s board made the decision to become a private institution in December after its funding was cut by legislators. The measure giving the State Finance Council authority to sell the authority’s property and assets was discussed Wednesday in the Senate Ways and Means Committee. No action was taken, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Gov. Sam Brownback has already budgeted $25 million in revenue from the sale into the 2017 fiscal year budget.

“This was an enormous decision by our board of directors,” said KBA president and CEO Kevin Lockett. “Clearly everyone is on board with this.”

“We’re seeking approval to continue to move forward,” said Lockett.

“Once we get this approval, we can continue down this path of finding a long-term solution.”

The KBA, created in 2004 as a public institution, has a mixed record of success. Proponents credit the agency with spurring startups and attracting investors in biotechnology

“It’s just very sad to be here today and recognize we’re undoing, we’re killing, probably the best economic development tool that we’ve had,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, who compared the process to a funeral service.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, asked Lockett whether this is a good time for the state to sell KBA’s assets.

“I would say the sooner the better,” he responded.

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP Bill outlines Supreme Court state office for refugees and authorize Gov. Sam Brownback to name a impeachment options state refugee coordinator.

Topeka — A bill before a Kansas Senate committee sets out several impeachable offenses for Kansas Supreme Court justices.

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard from supporters and opponents of the bill Thursday.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the state constitution currently uses high crimes and misdemeanors as grounds for removal from office. The new proposal would allow impeachment of Supreme Court justices if they usurp the authority of the Legislature, or for reckless judicial conduct, personal misconduct and failure to properly supervise judicial personnel.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Mitch Holmes, says the court has made several decisions recently that overstepped its authority, such as school funding rulings.

Opponents say the proposal attacks fair and impartial courts and singles out Supreme Court justices for treatment not applied to executive and legislative branches.

Senate committee tackles family planning funds

Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee has considered legislation to make permanent a provision that would create a tiered system for family planning funds.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the bill would prioritize federal funds for family planning services, sending them to state, county and local health departments before abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood.

The legislation was introduced by 27 Republican senators, a majority of the All Republicans on the Ways Solution to school funding: Senate. and Means Committee have signed on taxpayer donations? as bill sponsors.

lane freeway from the Kansas Turnpike interchange west of Lawrence to the U.S. Highway 59 interchange to the south, offering a seamless connection between I-70 and Interstate 435 in the Kansas City area.

KDOT officials have offered an alternative to the interchange that would keep the road toll-free and maintain access to Farmer’s Turnpike. It would be

a system-to-system interchange, allowing for free-flow movement between K-10 and I-70.

However, that option would be about $8 million to $10 million more expensive. It would also see about 16 percent more crashes than KDOT’s preferred solution, officials said.

In October, Lawrence and Douglas County commissioners agreed to send a letter to KDOT expressing support for

the west leg of the project. The letter suggested access to the Farmer’s Turnpike be maintained and asked that the area remain free of tolls.

KDOT has also made clear there is no money now available for west leg construction and work would not start until at least 2020.

The study phase of the SLT’s west leg improvements is wrapping up, and the design phase will start this spring or summer.

In honor of national Fair Housing Month in April, the city of Lawrence is holding a poster contest for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Entries to the contest must be submitted by March 28, and the finalists’ work will be displayed at the Lawrence Public Library from April 1 through April 25.

Winners will be recognized at the City Commission meeting on April 26.

All participants will receive a free T-shirt. Firstplace winners in elementary and middle schools will receive $100 Visa gift cards, and the high school winner will be awarded a choice of a $250 Visa gift card or an iPad mini. Second- and thirdplace winners also receive gift cards.

The theme for the contest is “Fair Housing Is…” Participants are asked to use words and images to describe what fair housing means. High school entries may include multimedia elements, such as digital photography or graphic design.

Compost facility opening Saturday The Lawrence compost facility will be open to the public every Saturday for the next nine months starting this week.

The compost facility, 1420 E. 11th St., accepts brush, leaves, grass clippings, tree and shrub prunings and other yard waste.

There’s a $5 fee per truckload. The facility is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and accepts cash only. It will be open until mid-December.

Compost and wood chips are for sale at the site. The material should be self-loaded and costs $10 per truckload.

LMH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The results of this year’s study were announced Feb. 28 in Modern Healthcare magazine.

Prior to 2012 — when LMH started its four-year streak — the hospital had not been named in the top 100, Early said. Truven started the study in 1993.

Early said it was “something we had always aspired to.”

The medium community hospitals category was the study’s biggest.

Other categories were: teaching hospitals, major teaching hospitals and small and large community hospitals. The medium category included those with 100 to 249 beds. LMH has 173.

One other Kansas hospital was named in the top 100 this year: Kansas Medical Center in Andover, which was in the small category.

stensibly no one is more familiar with the Chekhov’s gun principle than Sidney Bruhl, the oncesuccessful playwright now struggling with writer’s block in “Deathtrap,” Ira Levin’s Tony-nominated thriller.

doing things other than what you expect them to do,” Whitman says, not wanting to give away too much. “They all have really layered motivations, different intentions that you don’t expect when you first meet the characters.”

The late Levin, perhaps best known for his bestselling horror novel “Rosemary’s Baby,” was no stranger to the macabre when he penned “Deathtrap” in 1978. Much like his darkly comedic thriller “The Stepford Wives,” in which Levin critiqued the emphasis on youth and beauty in American media, “Deathtrap” satirizes show business and the classic whodunnit.

“There’s twists and turns and people in danger,” says Whitman, but “Deathtrap,” he adds, isn’t without (very dry) humor. “It’s most frightening and more horrifying if you identify with the characters and if there are occasional elements of fun.”

DAM beer event set for today If you missed out on tickets for Saturday’s Kansas Craft Brewers Exposition, or if you simply want to maximize your intake of beer and beerrelated events within one weekend, you’re in luck.

Merchants Pub & Plate is hosting the second annual That DAM Beer Event at Abe & Jake’s Landing today, and, as of press time, there are still enough tickets available to eclipse last year’s attendance, says Merchants co-owner Emily Peterson. (As of Tuesday afternoon, organizers had sold about 200; they’re hoping to surpass 300.)

That DAM Beer Event will include 16 brewers from the Sunflower State and beyond, focusing on a “different set” of breweries from those showcased at Saturday’s Kansas Craft Brewers Exposition.

“It almost feels like every week there’s a new beer launching in our market,” Peterson says. One of the cool things about this event is you’ll see a lot of beers that you won’t necessarily see in stores.”

The shindig, slated for 7 to 10 p.m., will once again feature food-beer pairings by Merchants chef/co-owner T.K. Peterson, though unlike last year’s inaugural event, the 12 “heavy appetizers” will be circulated throughout the floor space all evening long — meaning, no waiting in line for food, theoretically.

Tickets can be purchased at abejakes.com, Merchants (746 Massachusetts St.) or The Granada Theater box office at 1020 Massachusetts St. For more information, check out That DAM Beer Event on Facebook.

Teacher’s mistake needs to be corrected Dear Annie: Yesterday, I tried to help my son do his third-grade homework. One question was: “If Sue runs around the track twice, and John runs around the track four times more than Sue, how many times does John run around the track?”

My son submitted his answer as 8, but the teacher said the answer was 6.

Do I speak up? Should I simply assume the lesson here is a “life lesson” to respect the teacher’s answer even if it’s wrong, and explain to my 8-year-old son that there is sometime more than one right answer?

PBS profiles legendary Loretta Lynn “American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) profiles a country music original in “Loretta Lynn: Still a Mountain Girl.” Lynn’s story is so well known and embroidered into popular culture that many probably confuse her with Sissy Spacek, who played Lynn in the 1980 biopic “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

“Mountain” dives right into Lynn the legend, interviewing Spacek and showing clips of the film as well as dozens of billboards on Interstate 40 in Tennessee that tout businesses bearing the singer’s name and likeness.

As much as it makes of Lynn’s hardscrabble Appalachian upbringing, “Mountain Girl” is very much set in the present day, showing her receiving the Medal of Freedom from President Obama and reminding us that the film airs on the same day as the release of “Full Circle” (Legacy Recordings), Lynn’s first new studio album in more than 10 years.

Lynn’s enduring appeal transcends her life story. Her songs and her attitude challenged prevailing notions in Nashville and beyond. Years before people even heard the term “spousal abuse,” Lynn was singing “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)” in 1967. With songs like “Happy Birthday” and “Your Squaw Is on the Warpath,” she discussed women’s issues and feminist themes before it was fashionable. She also moved audiences with “Dear Uncle Sam,” a 1966 anti-war ballad that went against the grain of reflexively patriotic ballads heard on country music radio. Despite pushing envelopes, she has sold 45 million records over 50 years and aims to sell even more.

We hear from Lynn and her colleagues and contemporaries in recent and archival interviews, including Jack White, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Bill Anderson.

This profile airs as part of the 30th anniversary season of “American Masters.”

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Friday, March 4, 2016

EDITORIALS

Outstanding run The KU basketball team has added another chapter to an amazing streak of Big 12 conference success.

I

t’s true that Kansas University basketball fans always expect their team to be good, but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate what it takes to win 12 consecutive regular-season championships in the Big 12 conference.

Coach Bill Self is well aware of the streak, which now is second only to the 13-year streak of UCLA, but he sees each championship as the unique achievement of a single team. Each one of the last 12 years, a different Jayhawk team has won its own championship, its own part of the legacy.

Each year had its own challenges.

Some years, the Jayhawks had more than one player who would be a lottery pick in the NBA draft; some years they had none. They played against teams led by the likes of Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant, but at the end of each season, they were at the top of the heap.

A few years they had to share the title with another team, but most years they stood alone.

Someday, the streak will end, but no team wants that to happen on its watch.

It’s a lot of pressure, but also a big motivator.

The four seniors who will play their last game in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday — Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor, Hunter Mickelson and Evan Manning — will leave KU with the streak intact. They also will leave with college degrees and a bright future ahead of them in basketball or some other endeavor.

As the regular season ends at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday, we hope fans will show their appreciation not only to the seniors but to the entire team and their coaches for prolonging the Big 12 championship run. We also hope the Jayhawks’ season is far from over and they will have much success in the Big 12 and NCAA championship tournaments.

Congratulations to the Jayhawks.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 4, 1916: “Great interest in the water bond election to be held March 14 is inyears dicated in the figures of the city ago registration which closed last IN 1916 night. The total registration is 5,969, as against 5,142 a year ago.... In two precincts more women then men are registered.... As there are only two candidates for city commissioner of finance to go before the people at the primaries, and as the names of both will go over to the election ballot, the chief interest of the election centers about the water election. The accurate presentation of the needs of Lawrence for the plant had the effect of arousing popular interest to a great degree in the last week…”

Tough-guy image working for Trump Washington — What happened to the evangelicals?

They were supposed to be the bedrock of the Ted Cruz candidacy. Yet on Super Tuesday he lost them to Donald Trump.

Cruz still did make a reasonably good showing, winning Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas, the latter by an impressive 17 points. But he didn’t have the great night he needed to put away Marco Rubio and emerge as Trump’s one remaining challenger.

Cruz had done all the groundwork to win evan-

“

The essence of Trump’s appeal everywhere, far beyond evangelicals, is precisely the same: ‘I’m tough, I will protect you.’” gelicals and sweep the South by putting together strong alliances with local pastors and leaders.

And yet, outside Oklahoma and Texas, he lost them to Trump by stunning margins — by 21 points in Alabama, 13 in Georgia, 14 in Tennessee, 16 in Virginia and 36 in, of all places, Massachusetts.

How could this have happened? A more scripturally, spiritually flawed man than Trump would be hard to find. As several anti-Trump evangelical voices have argued, Christian witness cannot possibly support a thrice-married man with such an impressive list of sins, featuring especially spectacular displays of the seven deadlys.

These theological arguments are both eloquent and impassioned but, in this season of fear and anxiety, beside the point. This time around, evangelicals are not looking for someone like

them. They’re looking for someone who will protect them.

They’ve tried backing exemplary Scripture-quoting Christians — without result.

After Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum and considerations of Cruz himself, they are increasingly reluctant to support like-minded candidates who are nonetheless incapable of advancing their cause in a hostile political arena so dominated by secularism.

They have no illusions about Trump. They have no expectations of religious uplift. What he offers them is not spirit but “muscle” (to borrow a word from the notorious former Professor Melissa Click of the University of Missouri).

The transaction was illuminated by Trump’s January speech at Liberty University. His earlier halfhearted attempts to pose as a fellow evangelical were amusing and entirely unconvincing. At Liberty, he made another such I’mone-of-you gesture by citing a biblical verse in “Two Corinthians,” thereby betraying a risible lack of familiarity with biblical language and usage.

Yet elsewhere in the speech, he described how Christians abroad are being massacred and Christians here at home are under cultural and political siege. He

pledged: “We’re going to protect Christianity.”

Interesting locution. Not just Christians, but Christianity itself. What Trump promises is to stand outside the churchyard gates and protect the faithful inside.

He’s the Roman centurion standing between them and both barbarians abroad and aggressive secularists at home.

The message is clear: I may not be one of you. I can’t recite or even correctly cite Scripture. But I will patrol the borders of Christendom on your behalf. After all, who do you want out there — a choir boy or a tough guy with a loaded gun and a kick-ass demeanor?

Evangelicals answered resoundingly. They went for Trump in a rout.

The essence of Trump’s appeal everywhere, far beyond evangelicals, is precisely the same: “I’m tough, I will protect you.” That’s why he remains so bulletproof. His lack of policy, the contradictory nature of his pronouncements that pass as policy — especially their capricious eruption and summary abandonment — have turned out to be an irrelevance.

Who cares? His support has nothing to do with actual prescriptions. Tuesday night, the immigration issue ranked low among

Republican voters’ concerns. Only about 10 percent deemed it their No. 1 issue. The political success of Trump’s draconian immigration stance lies not in the policy but in the attitude — a not-going-totake-it-anymore defiance.

That’s the reason none of the rhetorical outrages that would have destroyed another candidacy have even left a mark on Trump. He mocks John McCain’s heroism, insults Carly Fiorina’s looks, fawns over Vladimir Putin — nothing. If anything, he gains support for fearless “telling it like it is” candor.

This is a man who three times last Sunday refused to disavow David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan. No other candidate could survive that.

Trump not only survives, he thrives. Two days later, he wins seven out of 11 Super Tuesday states and ascends to the threshold of presumptive nominee.

Which is why the only possible way to stop Trump is a full-scale, openthe-bomb-bay-doors attack on the very core of his appeal: his persona of the tough guy you can trust to protect you.

It may be too late. But everything else will simply bounce off the Teflon.

Helping students define their futures

By Chris Palmer The Baltimore Sun

As the student came into my office, I could see that something was wrong. She was pale and her shoulders sagged. “Are you OK?” I asked.

“Not really,” she said. “I’m graduating in two months and I don’t have a job.

I’ve been looking everywhere and networking like crazy, but nothing is panning out for me.”

Sadly, many soon-to-be graduates feel anxious about their future. They worry about landing a job, especially one that is fulfilling; finding mentors; networking effectively and paying off their student loans.

Much of this angst derives from the failure of colleges to prepare their students for the real world. Colleges — and professors like me — must do more to help students succeed after they leave college, both in life and in their careers.

We need to help students find out who they really are, what they’re passionate about, and how to articulate their life and career goals.

One of the most important things students can do to succeed in the real world is to create personal mission statements. I know this from experience. When I was 23, I had completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering and was set to pursue a career designing and building warships for the British Royal Navy. But I felt adrift, confused, unhappy.

I realized I needed a plan. I decided to create a mission statement in which I would articulate what I wanted in life. Doing so was challenging but ultimately transformative. It helped me to

“

We need to help students find out who they really are, what they’re passionate about, and how to articulate their life and career goals.”

find the life I wanted to lead, and that life had nothing to do with engineering or warships. My mission statement led me to a career in conservation and filmmaking and, eventually, teaching and writing.

Many students struggle with issues of identity, meaning and purpose.

Writing a personal mission statement enables them to think deeply about the kind of life they will find fulfilling.

That’s crucial, but it’s not enough.

Students also need the skills to advance. Technical knowledge and good grades are important. But it is equally important to be professional, hardworking, reliable, trustworthy and collaborative. Employers want to hire people who have good communication skills, are able to solve problems, and work well with others.

These attributes are sometimes called “soft skills,” but that takes away from their rigor and substance.

For example, if you misread social cues, can’t maintain eye contact in an interview, don’t chat comfortably at networking events, or fail to shake hands properly — that is, if you have poor communication skills — you will have a hard time advancing in your career.

“Employers want people who can think critically, work in diverse teams, and who can take complex

information, come to a conclusion and make a recommendation,” former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told the Wall Street Journal this fall. He worries that students are not graduating from college “career-ready.” Two years earlier, the Chronicle of Higher Education stated, “Employers care more about ethics, critical thinking, creative thinking, and common sense … along with a mindset of lifelong learning and a strong work ethic” than about, for example, an employee’s college major.

Wall Street executive and author Ben Carpenter made an excellent recommendation in the New York Times, saying, “Colleges need to create, and require for graduation, a course in high quality career training that would begin freshman year and end senior year.” Several colleges, such as Connecticut College, are now doing this with much success.

One of the most important “soft skills” is the ability to take risks in a scary world. A student who is graduating this May told me, “The biggest hurdle I have to overcome is my constant fear of failing.”

I often hear this from students. But failure has a stigma it doesn’t deserve.

Failure is an unpleasant, but essential, part of striving and learning. Failing does not mean you are a failure. It means you are trying hard, taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone — all necessary precursors to success.

Colleges are neglecting to teach real world lessons like these. We must do better.

program in Wyandotte County, said people who engage in the commercial business of renting out housing to the public should be required to adhere to certain standards.

“Rental licensing is based on the premise that landlords are business owners,” she said. “They are doing it for profit.

No one told them they had to be landlords. This was their choice. And as their choice, they have a responsibility not only to the property that they are renting, but to the surrounding community.”

An attorney from the Revisor of Statutes’ office pointed out that the bill would need several clarifications before it could be enacted. He noted, for example, that it does not specify whether municipalities would need to seek administrative or criminal search warrants to enter a house, and that different legal standards apply to each.

He also said the bill in its current form does not define what constitutes “notification” of an upcoming inspection.

The committee took no action on the bill Wednesday. Rep. Mark Hutton, RWichita, did not indicate when the committee might vote on it.

It’s something that everybody in the department and the city worked extremely hard to obtain.”

“For many, many years Lawrence was a Class 2,” Bradford said. “And as you can tell by the number of departments in the country, Class 1 is a pretty elite group.”

When conducting its review, the ISO, which is a national organization, examines a number of components of each fire department and the surrounding community, Bradford said.

“One is emergency communications, advanced 911 systems, quality computer-aided dispatch system,” he said.

“Another key component is water supply. The utilities department with the city obviously provides all the water necessary not just for domestic use but for fire protection. They look at their capability of providing required water flows, hydrant placements and hydrant maintenance.”

“The fire department is obviously another key component,” he added.

“That’s everything from the number of people on staff to training hours, to types of equipment on the fire trucks and the equipment that we carry.”

The department also received a bit of an extra gold star because its fire investigators are all nationally certified, the department’s operating policies are all current and the city has opted to remain current with fire codes, Bradford said.

“It’s something that everybody in the department and the city worked extremely hard to obtain,” he said.

While Class 1 departments are rare, there are a few in the Midwest, Bradford said. In fact, the closest one is in Lenexa.

Not only does the new classification reflect positively on LDCFM, but it clearly benefits Lawrence and the surrounding communities, Bradford said.

“The taxpayer and business owners may see a reduction in insurance premiums,” Bradford said.

“All of this demonstrates efficiency in how we fight fires, and the end result is less fire loss than if we didn’t have all the equipment or staffing. That saves money for the insurance companies, which keeps your rates low.”

Property aside, Bradford also said the more efficient a fire department is, the safer the people in its community will be.

of both property owners and tenants, and to rein in overly zealous building inspectors who use the power to conduct code inspections as a pretext for conducting wide-ranging searches.

“They’re opening refrigerators or cabinet doors, drawers,” said Ed Jaskinia, president of the Associated Landlords of Kansas. “What kind of code violation are you looking for there? It may be a rare thing, but it can and does happen.”

But officials from several communities and neighborhood groups throughout Kansas testified against the bill, saying it would effectively eliminate an important tool used to prevent urban blight and slum conditions.

Greg Binns, who serves on the Hutchinson Housing Commission, told of an 8-year-old Hutchinson boy who died in a house fire on Christmas Eve, 2014, in a house that had been illegally split into apartments, where electrical circuits were overloaded from space heaters because the house had no furnace.

“He was somebody’s child, grandchild, and he died so needlessly,” he said. “Had we had our inspection program at that time, we would have required the heater be replaced, and Joey would be alive today.”

It also states specifically that landlords have no obligation to obtain the tenant’s consent to an inspection.

But a key part of Lawrence’s program that could run afoul of the bill, if it becomes law, is the “right of entry” provision that gives the city authority to enter any rental dwelling, after giving the owner 72 hours notice, if it has “reasonable suspicion” that there are conditions inside that are “unsafe, dangerous, hazardous or a public nuisance.”

In those cases, the inspector is required to attempt to contact the tenant first. But if the tenant can’t be contacted, or denies permission for the inspector to enter, the inspector is authorized to seek an administrative search warrant.

“These things spread like a virus,” said Luke Bell, general counsel for the Kansas Association of Realtors, which supports the bill. “They all go to local conferences, they have little meetings every once in a while, and they spread ideas. And typically what you find is once this is enacted in one community, it spreads very quickly. And we believe we’re entering a wave of communities adopting these, based upon the pace of communities that have adopted them over the last couple of years.”

Bell and other supporters of the bill said its purpose is to protect the privacy rights

GOP DEBATES AMID ANTI-TRUMP SURGE

Rivals follow Romney’s lead, blasting the front-runner David Jackson USA TODAY

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz came ready to battle Thursday night, trying to use the 11th Republican debate to kneecap Donald Trump, the front-runner for the nomination.

Trump was immediately under attack. Fox News’ moderator Chris Wallace’s first question was about the blistering speech Mitt Romney gave in Utah earlier Thursday, describing Trump as a “fraud” whose absurd theatrics will lead the Republicans to disaster. Romney challenged Trump to answer with substance not insults. “Well, look, he was a failed candidate,” Trump responded.

“He should have beaten President Obama easily.”

And the debate at the Fox Theatre in Detroit may go down in history as the only one to feature a joke about anatomy. “Look at those hands. Are they small hands? He referred to my hands — if they’re small, something else must be small,” Trump said.

It was a defense of a insult that rival Rubio unpacked on the campaign trail in the last week, when he said: “You know what they say about men with small hands? You can’t trust them.” Trump responDETROIT

ded Thursday night, “I guarantee you, there’s no problem.”

Trump’s rivals tried to do everything they could to slow down his momentum with a torrent of attacks on his business record, his past support of Democrats, and his abrasive campaign style. Ru-

bio attempted to match Trump jab for jab — and the pair were at each other’s throats all night.

Trump sneered at his rival to his right as “little Marco.”

Moderator Bret Baier called out Rubio for flip-flopping on his commitment to decorum just

three weeks ago, when he said he doesn’t like personal attacks because they’re beneath the office of president, and he didn’t want to exposure his children to such antics. Now, Baier pointed out, v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Soccer icon Chastain pledges brain for concussion research She’s highestprofile female athlete to offer afterdeath donation

Christine Brennan @cbrennansports USA TODAY Sports

Brandi Chastain, whose iconic celebration at the 1999 Women’s World Cup became a lasting symbol of power and success in women’s sports, announced Thursday that she has decided to donate her brain after death to the Concussion Legacy Foundation to be studied by the renowned Boston University CTE program.

“I’m not going to be needing it at the end of my life, No. 1,” Chastain said in a phone interview with USA TODAY Sports, “and hopefully, what can be learned is, can doctors and scientists and neuroscientists look at the brain of someone like me, who has been playing soccer a majority of my life, and really dissect the

brain and say, ‘Here’s where we see it beginning.’ Could we then use that information to help say that before the age of 14, it’s not a good idea to head the ball?”

Chastain, 47, said she suffered two concussions playing in college at California and Santa Clara but experienced no side effects and went back into the game both times. She never shied away from heading the ball in 40 years playing the game and occasionally “saw stars,” adding she “did what we all used to do and shook it off.”

She said she suffers no symptoms from those concussions and has experienced no signs of degenerative brain disease.

“I never had an official diagnosis of a concussion in my career,” she said, “but as you grow older, you sometimes say, ‘Gosh, am I losing my memory or did I used to forget when I went into a room

N. Korean leader orders nuclear arms to be readied Belligerence follows latest U.N. sanctions Donna Leinwand Leger and Oren Dorell USA TODAY

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered nuclear weapons to be readied for use, the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency reported Thursday.

The shift in military posture would allow North Korea to carry out pre-emptive attacks and prevent enemies from sleeping in

peace “till the moment they meet their final end in their land,” KCNA reported, citing a speech by the country’s leader. “The only way for defending the sovereignty of our nation and its right to existence under the present extreme situation is to bolster up nuclear force,” KCNA said.

The move, announced in an article about missile tests, follows the United Nations Security Council’s unanimous approval Wednesday of tough new sanctions against North Korea in response to its recent nuclear and missile tests. The resolution contains the toughest set of sanctions

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un targets enemies’ sleep.

imposed by the Security Council in more than two decades, Secretary of State John Kerry said.

The sanctions require North Korean cargo ships and aircraft to be inspected before entering and after leaving the reclusive country. They would prohibit small arms and other conventional weapons sales to North Korea.

KCNA called the sanctions a flagrant effort by “U.S. imperialists and their followers” to impose “gangster-like” economic, military and political pressure for North Korea’s defensive actions and sovereign right to launch an Earth-observation satellite.

The extent of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is unknown. The nation claimed in January that it had successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb at a test site, but third-party experts and U.S. leaders expressed doubts.

The United States is building a network of ground-based missile interceptors designed to counter a threat from countries such as North Korea. The Pentagon said it is on track to have 44 such interceptors ready by the end of next year. Some are already online.

‘FRAUD’: ROMNEY TRASHES TRUMP

Front-runner says 2012 candidate blew his chance David Jackson USA TODAY

Mitt Romney jumped into the Republican civil war over Donald Trump on Thursday, blasting the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination as a “phony” and a “fraud” who would hand the White House over to Hillary Clinton in the fall election.

“His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,” the 2012 Republican nominee said in a heavily promoted speech at the University of Utah.

“He’s playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House, and all we get is a lousy hat.”

Romney, who did not endorse any of Trump’s campaign rivals, echoed a speech in 1964 by Ronald Reagan by saying Republicans “face another time for choosing” when it comes to the prospect of a Trump nomination.

Trump, who endorsed Romney in 2012 and is on the cusp of the Republican nomination himself, said Romney blew his chance at election four years ago and represents a Republican establishment that has let down its supporters.

“Failed candidate Mitt Romney, who ran one of the worst races in presidential history, is working with the establishment to bury a big ‘R’ win!” Trump tweeted.

In his blistering speech, delivered hours before a Republican

CRAIG RUBADOUX, FLORIDA TODAY, VIA USA TODAY SPORTS

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks Tuesday in Palm Beach, Fla. debate in Detroit, Romney — a Michigan native whose father was governor of the state — said Trump’s domestic plans would plunge the nation into recession and his foreign policy would alienate allies and undermine the fight against terrorism.

The former Massachusetts governor hammered Trump for his attacks on other Republicans, his use of expletives, his ego, his bragging about extramarital affairs, his recent reticence to criticize the Ku Klux Klan and his “third-grade theatrics.”

Romney did not mention that he accepted Trump’s endorsement for his own presidential

Mitt Romney says Trump’s “promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.”

campaign in 2012, and he praised the New Yorker’s business acumen at that time.

Romney’s speech, which echoed criticism of Trump by rivals Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich, came in the wake of a series of Trump wins on the campaign trail, many of them fueled

by Tea Party backers and new voters who are critical of the Republican establishment.

As other candidates step up their attacks on Trump, a number of Republican-leaning organizations are developing their own campaigns designed to stop Trump’s nomination, either before or during the convention in

July in Cleveland.

Romney suggested Republicans should deny Trump delegates by voting in each state for the candidate with the best chance to beat him there, including Rubio in Florida and Kasich in Ohio.

Another former Republican presidential nominee — John McCain, who lost to President Obama in 2008 — said he shared many of Romney’s concerns about Trump, citing the businessman’s “uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on national security issues.”

Romney also had harsh words for Clinton, this year’s Democrat-

ic front-runner, saying, “America’s interests were diminished in every corner of the world” during her tenure as secretary of State.

Though Clinton “jettisoned her most profound beliefs to gain presidential power,” a Republican nomination of Trump “enables her victory” in the fall, Romney said, citing recent polls.

Romney noted that Trump has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and attacked former Republican president George W. Bush, calling that a “twisted example of evil trumping good.” He referred to Trump’s harsh comments about women, Muslims and Mexican migrants, as well as what he called unrealistic proposals to have Mexico build a wall along the southern U.S. border.

“His domestic policies would lead to recession,” Romney said.

“His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe.

He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president.

And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.”

“I am the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton,” Trump tweeted. “I am not a Mitt Romney, who doesn’t know how to win. Hillary wants no part of ‘Trump.’ ” On NBC’s Today show, Trump said, “Mitt Romney is a stiff.”

Romney has attacked Trump for several days over his failure to release his taxes and other issues.

He has posted only anti-Trump messages on Twitter for the past week. In his speech, Romney said, “I predict that there are more bombshells in his tax returns.”

Trump’s son Eric tweeted that Romney showed no loyalty to Trump for his 2012 endorsement.

Debaters whittled to the final four

Rubio has mocked Trump for bad spelling, ridiculed him with vulgar jokes and called him a con artist. Rubio said Trump has mocked disabled people and just about everybody else with personal attacks. “If there’s anyone who’s ever deserved to be attacked that way, it’s Donald Trump,” Rubio said.

As Trump’s strength in the presidential campaign grows — he won seven of 11 states on Super Tuesday — he’s coming under heavier fire from critics, including 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney and various GOP groups.

Campaign rivals Cruz, a Texas U.S. senator who won three states Tuesday, and Rubio, a Florida U.S. senator who won one, have also argued that Trump would lose a general election to Democrat Hillary Clinton and drag down other GOP candidates with him. John Kasich, the governor of Ohio and

Cruz then went back to his preIowa messaging, saying people don’t want to hear them fight, they want to know how they’ll will save the economy for mechanics and other people with

Donation pledge boon for CTE study v CONTINUED FROM 1B

only seven have been from women and none has been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease that is thought to be linked to concussions.

In addition to Chastain, Olympic swimming standout Jenny Thompson and Cindy Parlow Cone, a U.S. women’s national soccer teammate of Chastain’s, have pledged to donate their brains to BU. So far, CTE has not been able to be diagnosed in a living person.

NFL stars have dominated the concussion conversation: The brains of Ken Stabler and Dave Duerson, among others, were examined at BU and diagnosed with CTE. But the risks of concussions and long-term brain injuries exist in many sports, including girls and women’s soccer.

“A question I have is, do men’s and women’s brains look and respond differently?” Chastain said.

“I’m a recovering two-time ACL reconstruction athlete. Why are ACL injuries more common in girls and women than boys and men? Could that also be true with concussions? And if true, what can we do differently?”

Ann McKee, director of the BU CTE Program, said this is a vital area of study.

“We currently know so little about how gender influences outcome after trauma,” she said.

“Her pledge marks an important step to expand our knowledge in this critical area.”

That Chastain would make this kind of decision is hardly surprising. Now coaching youth soccer teams in the Bay Area, she is a vocal advocate for the Safer Soccer initiative, which seeks to prevent players younger than 14 from heading the ball.

“It’s important to protect the next generation, and the next generation thereafter,” she said.

“We’re so far away from where we were when I was a kid in terms of

our naiveté about these issues.”

For millions of sports fans, Chastain is known as the woman who ripped off her jersey in celebration after her penalty kick won the 1999 Women’s World Cup for the USA. That memorable image graced the covers of Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated the next week, and she and her teammates later were named

SI’s Sportswomen of the Year. It’s impossible to overestimate how important that moment was in the progression of women’s sports in the Title IX era.

Now, however, Chastain is hoping to be known for something else.

“Because so many young people are playing soccer, boys and girls alike,” she said, “for me, a

great legacy would be that when people think of me and the U.S. women’s national team, I’d hope they would say that she left soccer in a better place than when she started. So this decision would hopefully be at the top of the list, while the penalty kick from ’99 would fall in there somewhere, but not as the most important thing.”

Syrian peace talks bumped

by Geneva auto show U.N. special envoy blames delay on ‘logistical problems’ Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

The resumption of Syrian peace talks in Geneva has been postponed by two days because of logistical problems, including a scheduling conflict with an auto show that grabbed up hotel rooms, the U.N. special envoy for Syria said Thursday.

Staffan de Mistura said the cease-fire that took effect Saturday in Syria is largely holding and has “greatly reduced” violence, despite sporadic clashes in some places.

He spoke to reporters in Geneva before convening the third meeting of the “cessation of hostilities” task force, led by the U.S. and Russia, that includes world and regional powers monitoring the truce.

Mistura, who was initially shooting for a resumption of the formal peace talks Monday, said he penciled in Wednesday instead, noting “logistical” troubles like the Geneva Motor Show could reduce the number of available hotel rooms.

“We need to have a penciled date and we need to make sure that everyone knows that this is not open-ended,” he said, the Associated Press reported.

“We need to maintain pressure both on the success of the cessation of hostilities and the delivery of aid in order to make sure that they do give a feeling of credibility to the people in Syria.”

IN LIBYA, A FIGHT TO STOP ISIL’S EXPANSION Militants seize on country’s political ‘protracted chaos’ Mathieu Galtier

Special for USA TODAY MISRATA , LIBYA A car dodges the sand and concrete blocks that slow vehicles approaching the Abu Grayin checkpoint, the front line in a war with Islamic State militants. Soldier Mohamed Shalgam grows fearful as he wonders if the driver is a suicide bomber.

“It is much more difficult than in 2011,” said Shalgam, 26, who fought with rebels who overthrew longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. “At that time ... we fought (openly). Now, these cars, how can I know if there are families inside or terrorists?”

Abu Grayin, about 60 miles southwest of this military bastion for the Tripoli-based government, marks an invisible border with territory held by the Islamic State. The city of Sirte, Gadhafii’s hometown and the militants’ stronghold for the past year, is less than 65 miles away.

Shalgam and his 15 other border guards know that protecting the Abu Grayin outpost is critical if they are to prevent an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 Islamic State fighters from expanding their reach in this chaos-riddled country, where the militants have fled to escape Western airstrikes against them in Syria and Iraq.

Shalgram said he is counting on the international community

But analysts warn that Shalgram shouldn’t get his hopes up because of the near anarchy that reigns here: Libya is besieged by fighting among rival governments — one in the capital, Tripoli, the other in Tobrok — as well as other militias and the Islamic State.

“Libya is mired in a period of protracted chaos,” Stratfor, an intelligence company based in Austin, concluded in a recent report.

“Jihadists aligned with al-Qaeda and the Islamic State now control substantial portions of the country. Thanks to their connections with other militant groups in the region, there is a network that provides training and weapons

intervention in Libya as the Islamic State threatens to seize the country’s oil resources.

On Feb. 19, U.S. warplanes struck an Islamic State camp in western Libya, killing dozens.

The strike targeted a top militant linked to attacks in Tunisia.

At the checkpoint, Shalgam warily approaches the car as it pulls up at the checkpoint. Instead of terrorists, he finds a young couple with two children crammed into the front seat, with the back seat full of luggage. The family is fleeing Sirte.

“It is catastrophe over there,” said the driver, Abu Imad. “There are no more schools, no more surgeons in the hospital.” On Feb. 12, he said, the militants killed three men in a public square allegedly for using drugs. “And they forced us to watch,” he said.

Imad’s family is taking refuge in Misrata with about 1,500 other families fleeing Sirte, according to the Sirte local council, now based in Misrata.

“Seventy percent of the population left. (Islamic State’s) work is killing, whipping and stealing money,” said Makhlouf Aksa, a lawyer and a former Sirte local council member. He said the militants are brainwashing children in Sirte schools where “they explain to the children that it is good to kill Westerners and all Muslims who talk to them.”

Imad said the Islamic State is letting people leave Sirte so they can fill their abandoned homes with new foreign fighters. “Foreign countries can destroy the entire city. It is not my city anymore,” he said.

Milad Ahmed, 42, father of a 14-month-old child, didn’t make it. He was shot and hanged on a makeshift cross on a road in Sirte on Jan. 16 because he supported the Tripoli-based government.

“He knew (the Islamic State) was looking for him. That is why he hid himself and didn’t go out at all,” his mother, Um Milad, said as she held up photos of her son, who was killed on his wedding anniversary. “But one day, they found him and took him, at dawn.”

The Arizona Republic PHOENIX Once again, the Phoenix City Council has voted to have a prayer said at council meetings. However, the invocation would have to be given exclusively by chaplains for the police and fire departments.

A 7-2 vote Wednesday is the latest twist in a fiery debate that began after a group of Satanists were scheduled to give the opening prayer at a council meeting in February.

Rather than let followers of the Satanic Temple pray, the council voted last month to replace the invocation with a “moment of silent prayer and reflection.” City leaders said Phoenix would have faced a costly lawsuit if it kept holding a prayer and rejected the Satanist’s request to pray, as some council members advocated.

But the decision to replace the spoken prayer with a moment of silence has since drawn protests from some council members, residents and religious leaders. They said the city’s move was akin to banning prayer and gave the Satanists a victory.

On Wednesday, the council had to reconsider that decision after two residents submitted a petition calling for the council to reinstate the invocation.

WALL ST. PRICES ‘POLITICAL RISK’ OF ELECTION Trying to predict how the race for the White House will affect markets has become more and more difficult

Adam Shell USA TODAY

The presidential election is eight months away, but “political risk” is already being felt on Wall Street as money and politics collide in a flurry of often “polarizing and populist” campaign sound bites that investors fear could weigh on the economy, financial markets and global trade.

“Is political risk on the rise?

Yes,” says Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott: “The polarizing, populist rhetoric pointing at select industries, trade and tax policy is an influencing factor in the market’s volatility.”

Wall Street loves certainty. But the 2016 race for the White House is all about uncertainty with no shortage of unknowns and potential plot twists.

Indeed, handicapping this year’s circus-like presidential race and its impact on markets has become increasingly difficult.

One wild card is Donald Trump, the real estate investor best known for his stint on the reality TV show The Apprentice, who has climbed to the top spot in the Republican race despite wobbly support from his own party and withering criticism Thursday from 2012 GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

Trump’s rise “magnifies the uncertainty,” Luschini says, due in large part to Trump’s anti-establishment, unpredictable, “unconventional … and unscripted” campaign.

While Trump’s plan to lower tax rates for individuals, investors and corporations is viewed as growth-friendly, many of Trump’s other campaign comments are “protectionist” in nature, which worries free-trade advocates, Wall Street pros say. Trump says he will build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico to impede illegal immigration. He branded China a “currency manipulator.”

USA TODAY SPORTS

Free-trade advocates are wary of Republican Donald Trump’s policies.

And he’s issued unkind words about U.S. companies that set up shop overseas to reduce their tax bills or gain other competitive advantages.

“He’s perceived as a populist and nationalist who will reverse the course of globalization,” says Nick Sargen, senior investment adviser at Fort Washington Investment Advisors. “The possibility of a Trump presidency could cause a stir abroad and possible selling of U.S. securities.”

Trump’s rhetoric and policies could also cause a “trade war,” which is “bad for the economy,” says Axel Merk of the Merk Funds.

Democratic front-runner and establishment candidate Hillary Clinton also gives some Wall Streeters pause.

Clinton has been a vocal critic of the pharmaceutical industry for charging exorbitant prices for prescription drugs, raising fears of drug-price controls. The former first lady and secretary of State is also a proponent of making the banking sector less risky and has proposed levying a “risk fee” on banks, imposing a tax on high-frequency trading firms and holding financial employees and executives accountable when they break the law, according to her campaign website.

Clinton, however, is less of a wild card than Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders, says Michael Farr, president of money-management firm Farr, Miller & Washington.

“Although Hillary is not generally embraced by Wall Street, she is a known quantity,” Farr says.

This year’s presidential campaign is a choice between “establishment” candidates and “anti-establishment” hopefuls, says Erik Davidson, chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank.

“The establishment candidates represent some level of certainty,” he says. “At least you know what you will be getting.”

A wave of tech companies that includes the industry’s biggest names filed court statements backing Apple in its battle with the federal government over access to a killer’s iPhone.

Twitter filed an amicus brief in a group that includes Airbnb, LinkedIn and eBay. AT&T and Intel each filed pro-Apple briefs, while Mozilla says it is part of a consortium planning to file by Thursday’s deadline that includes Google, Facebook and Snapchat. “(The government request) is an overreach, the government is asking a tech company to undermine years of security,” Mozilla chief legal officer Denelle DixonThayer told USA TODAY. SAN FRANCISCO

KENA BETANCUR, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Apple is battling the FBI over access to a killer’s iPhone.

Apple is getting broad technology support for its refusal to comply with an order from a judge in California who said Apple should help the FBI unlock an iPhone used by one of the killers in the San Bernardino mass shooting in December. Apple says it would need to write new software to override encryption on that iPhone, creating an opening that other governments and criminals could exploit.

“This case isn’t simply about letting the FBI pick the lock to a dead terrorist’s phone. It’s about whether governments can conscript private companies to disable security features built into their devices,” said Ron Bell, general counsel at Yahoo.

A coalition of top law enforcement officials in California offered its support to the FBI, arguing that Apple’s privacy concerns are “misplaced.”

“Law enforcement is not asking this court to compel the locksmith (Apple) to give them a master key to unlock all locks built by this locksmith,” asserted attorneys representing the California Sheriffs’ Association, the California Police Chiefs’ Association and the California Peace Officers Association.

The filings argued the FBI’s request threatened customers’ data privacy and risked overreach. The outpouring, including from some — such as phone company AT&T — that had been less vocal in their support early on, indicated Silicon Valley sees a government win in this case as a serious threat to global trust in its products.

Big plans for tiny candy as M&M’s turn 75 Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

HACKETTSTOWN, N. J.

Changes are in store for the millions of colorful, bite-size chocolates that come pouring off conveyor belts at a factory here every day.

M&M’s have been one of America’s most recognizable candies for decades. Now, as the brand turned 75 Thursday, it is rolling out a strategy aimed at keeping the chocolates relevant for a new generation of snackers.

Some will be obvious, like new colors, flavors, textures and fillings, or new package designs

made for on-the-go eating. Others will be more subtle, like transitioning to natural, rather than artificial, colors over the next five years.

“That’s the beauty of this brand,” says Tracey Massey, president of Mars North America, which owns the M&M’s brand.

“You can really innovate all over the place.” And that kind of flexibility may be what helps M&M’s stay on top at a time when many shoppers are cutting back on sugary treats.

Change is seen as essential.

Americans have drastically altered their diet preferences since M&M’s were first produced in 1941, forcing companies like Mars

MICHAEL MONDAY FOR USA TODAY

The melts-in-your-mouthnot-in-your-hands brand turned 75 on Thursday.

to rapidly innovate or risk fading into history.

Standing in the brand’s corner

as it eyes the next 75 years is M&M’s widespread recognition and loyal customer base. Plus, Mars continues to invest in factories as it considers M&M’s expansion. A new factory, like the one here in New Jersey, was built in Topeka in 2014 to produce peanut M&M’s and Snickers. There are plans to start running another factory line there for M&M’s next year “to help us with the innovation pipeline,” Massey said.

M&M’s grew out of necessity when the military requested Mars make chocolate for the troops at the start of World War II. The candy’s hard exterior meant the chocolate didn’t melt and was ideally suited for over-

seas travel. When the war ended, soldiers were still clamoring for the tiny treats, and Mars began selling them to regular customers in 1947.

Mars is marking M&M’s 75th by kicking off the biggest marketing campaign ever for the tiny candies, aiming to cement itself in the hearts — and wallets — of American customers for at least another 75 years.

Last week, the company debuted an ad featuring an updated version of the song Candyman.

Starting this month, customers will see peanut and regular M&M’s travel back in time with retro packaging from the 1940s through the 1990s.

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

It’s Jobs Friday. That means the monthly Wall Street guessing game, “Will they or won’t they hike?” will kick off after the federal government lets the world know how many jobs the American economy created in February.

The “they” is the Federal Reserve. The U.S. central bank, which hiked short-term interest rates for the first time in a decade back in December, meets March 15 to discuss interest rate policy.

While the Fed was hoping to continue hiking rates this year, it opted to keep rates unchanged at their last meeting in January.

Since then, however, market turbulence, still-weak inflation readings and slowing global growth prompted the Fed to hint that

they may have to dial back their rate-hike plans. At the same time, U.S. data have continued to come in strong, putting more emphasis on the February jobs number.

The Wall Street forecast is for 195,000 new jobs last month, up from 151,000 in January.

So, is there a jobs number that could put a March rate hike back on the table or keep the Fed on hold indefinitely? “If we got a number above 250,000 or 275,000, the market would start to get a bit more nervous. but I doubt the Fed would move, being the meeting is so close,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Boston Private Wealth. “Now, if there was some ridiculous number like 350,000 or 400,000, then the possibility begins to become more real. As far as putting the Fed on hold all year? A low print such as 15,000 or 25,000 may do it, but that’s (not) likely.”

Barnes & Noble’s future not quite an open book Q: Can Barnes & Noble keep it going?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Barnes & Noble (BKS) is trying to show it can make a go selling the printed word. It’s a tough sell, but not an impossible one.

On its face, the bookseller’s results reported Thursday looked rough. Revenue during the period fell 28% to $1.4 billion, says S&P Global Market Intelligence, largely because the company spun off a large piece of its business late last year.

The company’s adjusted profit per share also came in at $1.04, which was nearly 2% lower than expected by analysts.

Still, shares of Barnes & Noble rose 6% to nearly $11 a share Thursday as investors seem to think the stock reflects the reality of its business.

The company’s revenue may have been dramatically lower from the same period a year ago, but it still came in 0.3% ahead of expectations. The previous quarter, the company missed revenue forecasts by 2%.

The stock has been pummeled 59% over the past year, again largely to the spinoff, but is up more than 10% this year as investors see the worst being over.

Analysts are calling for the company to post an adjusted gain of 45 cents a share, up from a loss last year of 27 cents a share.

With a dividend yield of nearly 6%, investors see value in the company.

Herbalife admits it overstated its membership figures Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Nutrition company Herbalife acknowledged Thursday that it had overstated its membership figures in an admission that could fuel more scrutiny of the company’s business model.

The company said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it had misreported “active new member” figures.

tions from hedge fund investor Bill Ackman that the company is running an illegal pyramid scheme. Herbalife has denied

those allegations and accused Ackman of stock manipulation.

The company blamed its misstated membership figures on “database scripting errors” and “quarterly aggregation issues.”

Herbalife stock (HLF) fell 7.4% in afternoon trading to $52.20.

The drop came after investors last week drove the shares skyward after Herbalife said it was negotiating a resolution to the Federal Trade Commission’s probe.

The company said worldwide new active members rose 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with a year earlier, not

16.7% as it reported last week. It said U.S. active new members rose 30.7% during the same period, not the 71% it previously stated.

Altogether, Herbalife corrected 28 different statements tied to the new active member figures but said it did not affect its financial reports.

The company said the “non-financial metric” was new, which made it difficult to calculate past figures.

It might be a society full of all creatures great and small, but at the core of Disney’s Zootopia (in theaters Friday) are very realworld human issues tackled in a plot that features rookie rabbit cop Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and fast-talking fox con artist Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman).

Putting two natural enemies from the wild in a contemporary story allowed directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore to build an animal metropolis where there is a social contract between all species, with predator and prey working together. When that balance is upset, the film explores the trouble and subtly weaves in racial profiling, stereotypes and preconceived notions of others in a creative way.

In other words, maybe Judy and Nick can show us how we can all get along a little better.

The mantra of Zootopia — “Anyone can be anything!” — is something Judy subscribes to when she moves there from Bunnyburrow yet finds the city stiflingly pigeonholing: Everybody makes it clear to her that she doesn’t have the right stuff to be a cop because she’s cute and small amid a precinct of big tough guys.

“All of the animals in this world, seemingly even outside of

DISNEY

Chief Bogo of the Zootopia Police Department (voiced by Idris Elba) doesn’t think much of his rookie cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin).

Zootopia, feel that they’re limited by their animal instincts,” Goodwin says. “She feels there is a nature vs. nurture argument, and no one in her universe has ever thought that way. She feels that she can overcome the limitations imposed on her by her animal creation and make a difference.”

Meanwhile, Nick is a cynical fellow who insists on espousing to Judy the idea that “we are who we are,” Moore says. “I’m born a sly fox, you’re born a dumb bunny — that’s who you are. There’s no use trying to get out of those boxes that society’s put us into.”

Though Howard acknowledges that the movie feels “weirdly timely,” the deeper meanings within Zootopia “never came from a messaging standpoint. We never started with an intellectual idea or said, ‘We’re going to push

this political agenda.’ ” Instead it came about organically during the eight months of research into animal behavior, sociology and evolution.

One of the things that jumped out to Howard was the fact that 90% of mammals are prey animals and 10% are predators. They began imagining how these mammals might evolve if they simply put a history of violence behind them but also asked the question of what happens if that fear might still be present in some way.

“At watering holes, even though predators and prey don’t always get along, when they have stuff in common that they need, then everything chills out. Everyone behaves,” Howard says. “That led us to some very interesting ideas and parallels with our own society.”

Boutique enters, waffle place exits downtown I

f defensive linemen could be found in boutiques, the Bowen household would be even more excited about the pending opening of an upscale boutique business in downtown Lawrence. Still, the Bowen household is pretty excited about the planned opening of KB & Co. The new business will be owned by Kristie Bowen, whose husband is KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen.

Kristie said KB & Co. will be a “cooperative boutique,” which has a different meaning than I thought. (I thought that meant it helped my wife and I load the U-Haul truck.) Instead, a cooperative boutique is one where multiple boutique business owners come together to locate in a single building.

John Brown is planning to use the vacated space on Seventh Street for weekend brunches. does focus on waffle dishes, but the waffle dishes include some interesting twists.

For example, during its final weekend, the restaurant featured pork butt chile verde, poblano and anaheim peppers, cilantro, onions, and hot sauce all served on a waffle. For folks who use sugar instead of hot sauce to wake up of a morning, the restaurant also featured a buttermilk waffle topped with brown butter cream, cookie butter and banana brûlée.

Donnell said business at the restaurant was good and growing. He said last weekend

was the best weekend yet for the business, which encouraged him. He said in addition to working on a deal with Basil Leaf, he said he’s also looking for more permanent space to operate the restaurant on a more full-time basis.

“We did 175 covers in four hours on Sunday,” Donnell said of the number of meals served.

“I think there is a business there, so I don’t want to hang up the towel just yet.”

Take the opportunity to start spring home maintenance

S

ince your home is most likely the largest investment you will ever make, it is a good idea to protect it by performing regular maintenance.

Here are a few spring home-care steps you can do now that the weather is cooperating.

Most are fairly simple and cost little to no money and will prevent bigger problems in the future.

Start with a walk around your house.

With note pad and pencil in hand (or a camera), check around the perimeter for problems.

Keep an eye out for missing roof shingles, clogged gutters and downspouts, rotted siding and windows, and proper water drainage away from the house.

Make sure the soil and mulch around the house are at least 4 inches away from the home’s siding to avoid water damage. Also, be sure to caulk any open holes that would allow water to penetrate the house and cause deterioration or mold.

Next, clean your gutters if you didn’t get a chance to do it in autumn after the leaves dropped. Your home’s gutter system protects the siding and foundation from water damage, plus it helps keep water out of the basement.

Does your home’s paint job need sprucing up, or are you thinking of changing the color?

Now is the time to have the exterior of your home painted. Weather that is too wet, cold or hot will cause the paint to fail, bubble up, and peal. The rule of thumb is the temperature

should be between 50 and 90 degrees, with low humidity and free of rain for 24 hours. If the weather was rainy for a few days, give the house extra time to dry out, especially if the humidity is still high and

there is no wind. Plus, make sure the morning dew has dried before you begin.

This is also a good time of year to paint the interior. Warmer weather allows you to keep the windows open to dissipate the odor. If you need to paint with the windows shut, try the environmentally friendly, low-VOC paints, which emit much less odor.

Be sure to clean leaves and debris from the screen around your outdoor air conditioner compressor so it will work at peak efficiency.

As part of your spring cleaning, vacuum the grilles and registers to your heating/cooling system inside to remove

dust and debris. Also, don’t forget to change the filter.

Finally, do repair work to outdoor steps, porches, sidewalks and drive-

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SUB-STATE BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Manning brought value(s) to KU The last time I watched Evan Manning run onto the floor as his name was called during the pregame introduction of the starting lineups, it was at Free State High and he went on to total 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals in a 65-54 victory against Shawnee Mission West.

Just had to get off my chest because I want people to know that he’s not a courtesy walk-on who was gifted a uniform because of his family history and/or connections.

Those factors played in his decision to play basketball and attend school at Kansas University and could have landed him a spot on the roster had he not been good enough, but the fact is Bill Self wanted him on his team because he brings everything a coach would want from a walk-on.

Watching him play for a 6A high school, it was clear that Manning had a very high basketball IQ, an unselfish approach, gave maximum effort, and possessed enough skill and athleticism to compete credibly against scholarship players in practice.

Manning scored 11 points in the first quarter the last time I heard his name announced as a starter.

He’s not likely to make that sort of noise Saturday in a Senior Day starting assignment against Iowa State, but my guess is Allen Fieldhouse will grow plenty noisy when introduced to the crowd.

Kansas fans are savvy enough to understand the value to the program of a brainy walk-on such as Manning. They know it’s his job to study film and follow instructions of the assistant coach whose turn it is to scout the next opponent. That assistant tells each member of the scout team which player to study so that player can pretend to be the opponent in practice. Manning not only did that with attention to detail regarding the opponents’ tendencies, he made sure the rest of the scout-team players did the same.

“A fun one for me was (Rodney) McGruder for K-State,” Manning said Thursday at a news conference. “He would run off

FREE STATE PLAYERS CELEBRATE AFTER CHRISION WILBURN, RIGHT, made the winning putback at the buzzer to beat Junction City, 54-52, Thursday in the opening round of sub-state.

Wilburn’s putback secures win

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There was a court-storming Thursday night at Free State High, but it ended nearly as quickly as it began.

And when the victorious Firebirds left the gym, their minds were not on the heroics of senior forward Chrision Wilburn, whose putback as time expired gave thirdseeded Free State a thrilling 54-52 victory over sixth-seeded Junction City.

Instead, they were thinking about what came next — at No. 2 seed Wichita Southeast at 6 p.m. Saturday, with a trip to the Class

6A state tournament on the line.

“No celebration,” said firstyear Free State coach Sam Stroh after the victory. “It’s on to the next one. Our goal was not to win one game at sub-state. We want to do more. And we’re going to have to play a heck of a game on Saturday to advance.”

Don’t confuse Stroh’s words for the slogan of the Fun Police. Stroh and his team very much enjoyed Wilburn’s game-winner and the five minutes of jubilation that followed it. It’s just that this team, led by so many seniors and such intelligent, tough-minded players, was able to quickly curb

the emotions of Thursday’s victory and began focusing on Saturday’s sub-state final.

Heck, even Wilburn, who made all three shots he attempted on Thursday, including the wide-open bunny he said was both the best and easiest shot of his life, walked out to his car with little more than a smile.

“I just saw the ball and wanted to go up right away,” Wilburn said of the game-winner that came off of a driving miss by Hunter Gudde. “The next thing I knew people were pushing me and there was just a lot of yelling and screaming.”

Lions whip Wyandotte, 80-62

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior point guard Justin Roberts has a sixth sense on the basketball court. Whenever his team needs him to step up in crunch time, Roberts knows when to take his game to another level.

After watching Kansas City Wyandotte pull within six points on a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the third quarter on Thursday, Roberts scored 12 of his game-high 25 points in the fourth quarter to help the Lions pull away for an 80John Young/Journal-World Photo 62 victory at LHS in the first LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR ANTHONY HARVEY JR., CENTER, DRIVES round of sub-state. between Wyandotte defenders GeRail Lucas, left, and LaRon Please see LIONS, page 3D Mcginnie during the Lions’ 80-62 sub-state win Thursday at LHS.

Kansas University basketball fans were officially introduced to Perry Ellis on Nov. 9, 2012 when the 6-foot-8 McDonald’s All-American and four-time state Gatorade Player of the Year out of Wichita Heights High School scored 15 points and grabbed eight re- Ellis bounds in a 74-55 victory over Southeast Missouri State.

A newbie to 16,300 fans in Allen Fieldhouse, Ellis was already familiar to Jayhawk coach Bill Self, who tirelessly recruited the native Kansan for four years.

“I saw him play his first high school game as a freshman and, of course, we knew of him even before then,” said Self, who like most KU hoops fans read about the Sunflower State sensation when he was featured in Sports Illustrated as a 14-year-old eighth grader at the Air Capital’s Brooks Middle School.

“I’d say we probably spent more years recruiting Perry than we have anybody else,” Self added.

Ellis’ first game as a prep, as it turns out, was mighty memorable. Self, who sat right behind Heights’ bench, watched as Ellis grabbed 12 rebounds and scored nine points in the No. 5-ranked Falcons’ 67-62 victory over No. 1 Wichita East on Dec. 5, 2008 before 7,500 fans in Koch Arena on Wichita State University’s campus.

“We played at WSU. I was pretty nervous. It was different ... a lot of people. I do remember him sitting there — looking over and seeing him,” Ellis said of taking a peek at KU coach Self, who was enjoying his debut.

“I did fairly well. I remember making some crucial free throws late in the game, which is pretty big. It was pretty cool,” added Ellis, whose 3-of-3 free throwing down the stretch helped make possible the victory.

Self, and Ellis’ lead KU recruiter, Danny Manning, attended countless games during Perry’s prep career — one that resulted in four Class 6A titles for Heights.

Included was Ellis’ Senior Day game in March of 2012.

Yes, Self made the two-hour drive to Wichita despite the fact Ellis had committed to KU before the start of his final prep campaign. Now, in the blink of an eye, it’s Senior Day again, this time at KU where Ellis turned out to be just as talented as advertised.

Ellis has scored 1,645 points (12th in KU history) and grabbed 792 boards

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Court could restore Brady suspension

The Associated Press

How former Warriors 121, Thunder 106 Jayhawks fared CONFERENCE Oakland,FOOTBALL Calif. — Stephen New York — The odds thatAMERICAN

the “Deflategate” four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is restored rose considerably after federal appeals court arguments Thursday.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan gave a players’ union lawyer a tough time, with one of three judges even saying evidence of ball tampering was compelling, if not overwhelming. The appeals court did not immediately rule, and a decision may be weeks away.

All three judges put NFL Players Association attorney Jeffrey Kessler on the defensive with multiple reasons why they thought NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell might have been within his rights to order the suspension of Brady after finding the quarterback knew about the deflation of game balls before the January 2015 AFC Championship game between the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts and that he had obstructed the league’s investigation.

The judges also were tough at times on Paul Clement, attorney for the NFL, questioning why the simple act of deflating footballs warranted such a severe suspension.

But they seemed to answer that question themselves when Kessler stood before them as they noted repeatedly that it may well be within Goodell’s authority to punish a player if he concludes that the player interfered with an investigation and thus engaged in conduct detrimental to the game.

New England beat the Colts, 45-7, and went on to win the Super Bowl.

After Goodell rejected Brady’s appeal of the four-game suspension, the league went to federal court to get a judge’s approval of its handling of the case. But Judge Richard Berman ruled against the NFL a week before the season began, eliminating Brady’s four-game suspension.

The NFL appealed, leaving it to the 2nd Circuit to decide whether the suspension is reinstated for this season.

DE Johnson cut

by Carolina Charlotte, N.C. — Charles Johnson’s nine-year run with the Carolina Panthers is over.

The team released the 29-year-old defensive end on Thursday, a move that will save it $11 million under the salary cap. The team will carry $4 million of “dead money” on this year’s cap leftover from the remainder of Johnson’s prorated signing bonus.

GOLF

Mickelson one back at Cadillac tourney Doral, Fla. — Scott Piercy and Marcus Fraser are tied after the opening round of the Cadillac Championship, each shooting 6-under 66 on Thursday in the first World Golf Championships event of the year.

Phil Mickelson is alone in third, one shot back after a 67.

Adam Scott, Jason Dufmer, Charley Hoffman and Danny Willett all shot 68s, and world No. 1 Jordan Spieth was in another group at 69, three shots back. In all, 15 players finished within four shots of the lead on Doral’s Blue Monster.

Defending champion Dustin Johnson struggled, shooting even-par 72 and finishing the day tied for 28th in the 66-man field.

SOCCER

U.S. women defeat England Tampa, Fla. — Second-half substitution Crystal Dunn scored in the 72nd minute, Hope Solo recorded her 96th career shutout, and the United States beat England, 1-0, in the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday night.

Dunn entered in the 67th minute and made it 1-0 with a shot into the upper corner of the net five minutes later.

Kansas Lions comeback falters

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

J-W Staff Reports

Senior third baseman Ryan Pidhaichuk’s career day at the plate wasn’t enough, as Kansas University’s baseball team fell to BYU, 11-10, Thursday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Pidhaichuk paced Kansas (3-5) with a 3-for-4 effort at the plate with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. His efforts helped the Jayhawks take an early 4-0 lead in the third inning, but the Cougars (8-1) answered back the next six frames to score 11 — thanks in part to five home runs and nine extra-base hits.

BYU freshman right fielder Kyle Dean led the way with a 4-for-5 performance with three home runs, five RBIs and three runs scored.

“Dean was one of the most high-profiled recruits on the West Coast coming out of high school,” head coach Ritch Price said. “He had a huge night. Obviously if you give up five home runs in a game, you are going to get beat.”

The Cougars kept KU off the board the majority of the game until the bottom of the ninth inning, when the Jayhawks strung together a five-run final rally.

Lawrence High bowlers take 4th, 5th J-W Staff Reports

Wichita — Lawrence High sophomore bowlers Javier Lemmons and Holly Evans placed inside of the top five at the Class 6A state tournament on Thursday at Northrock Lanes.

Lemmons rolled a 278 in his first game and took fourth overall with a season-best 716 three-game series. LHS senior Triston Decker was 10th with a 691 series, bowling a 253 in his final game, and senior Morgan Sisson finished 30th with a 620 series.

For the girls, Evans followed up her best performance of the season at regionals by placing fifth with a season-high 656 series, including a 248 in her first game. LHS sophomore Diamonique Vann was 56th with a 465 series and Free State High senior Gentry Jordan, the Firebirds’ lone qualifier, took 49th with a 488.

Garden City senior Tristan Funk won the boys’ individual title with a 803 series, narrowly missing out on a perfect game with a 299 in his third and final game.

Junction City’s Casey Holmes won the girls title with a 672.

Before the fourth quarter, Roberts was struggling to create offense, missing nine of his first 12 shots. But like he’s done throughout his four-year career, the 5-foot-9 Roberts finds a way to dominate in the final minutes.

The Lions will play host to fourth-seeded Shawnee Mission Northwest (9-12) in the sub-state finals at 6 p.m. Saturday, a team they beat, 59-54, on Feb. 9 at SMNW. “We can always rely on Justin,” LHS senior Fred Brou said. “He will get out of a slump at any point in time and he will get hot.

We know it’s coming.”

On the first possession of the fourth quarter, Roberts caught a pass from senior Price Morgan and swished a three-pointer in front of the student section while being fouled, completing the four-point play.

In the next two minutes, Roberts knocked down two free throws, drilled a mid-range jumper in transition, and found Brou cutting across the baseline for a one-handed slam.

After Roberts helped the Lions trade points with eighth-seeded Wyandotte (3-18), the Lions went on a 13-3 run — which included another three from Roberts — in the next four minutes to turn the game into a rout and empty the benches.

LHS junior Jackson Mallory, who had nine points and nine rebounds, added four points in the decisive stretch.

“There wasn’t going to be a play that could just put us up by 30,” said Roberts, a Toledo commit. “We just knew we had to chip away as much as we could and try to get that lead higher and higher.”

The top-seeded Lions (19-2) led for all but 34 seconds Thursday, but couldn’t cruise into complete control in the first three quarters.

Kept away at arm’s length, the fast-paced Bulldogs, who never

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Free State junior Jay Dineen, who finished with 12 points, four assists and drained eight of nine crucial free throws, said Stroh, in the Firebirds’ final huddle, reminded Wilburn of his role on the play that capped the game’s final possession.

“Coach drew that up perfectly,” Dineen said.

“And we executed. Chrision is a big time player for us and he definitely came through tonight.”

The dramatic ending was the third Free State victory decided at the buzzer this season.

“We’ve been pretty good at finding a way to win games at the end,” Stroh said.

The latest dramatic win proved to be one heck of a test of the Firebirds’ patience.

With the Blue Jays content to sit in 3-2 and 2-3 zones most of the night, the Firebirds were given the luxury of picking the proper spots to attack.

When they chose the right times and angles, things ran smoothly and looked pretty. When they didn’t, Junction City made them pay.

That turned a scrappy chess match of a game into one that was much closer than it looked like it would be after the Firebirds, who made seven of their first eight shots and hit 68 percent from the floor for the game, raced out to a 16-4 lead five minutes into the game.

Eight minutes later, however, Junction City tied the game at 19 and it

He’s had a great consistent run.

“When I think of Perry, I don’t think of the best, I think of consistency. He’s one of those guys that you can — if he was a golfer, he’d just go out and shoot par every day,” Self continued. “He’s not one of those guys that the highs are so high and the lows are low; he’s just steady.

I think that’s something that we’ve really grown to not only respect, but also at times to take for granted because he has been so steady.”

Ellis likes being known as consistent.

“I’ve grown in that department each year I’d say,” Ellis said “Being in the moment thinking each play: ‘I’m going to try to go as hard as I can, attack each play.’’’

Ellis — he leads KU in scoring (16.3 ppg) and is second in rebounding (6.0), has not changed a lot personality wise. He’s still the quiet, unassuming guy that arrived as a freshman, though occasionally a bit more flashy.

His patented spin move, “The Blender,” is now virtually unstoppable.

“When he shows a little personality he gets us more fired up,” senior forward Jamari Traylor said.

“At Texas I think it was last year he did a crazy move, looked to the bench smiling and winked. It put fire under us some more.

That’s the most hyped I’ve seen Perry.”

He’s not ALL that shy, as evidenced by all the speeches he gives to youth groups in the state.

As far as his KU Senior

Day speech, Ellis, who is set to receive a degree in sports management in May (with a business minor) said: “I don’t think I’ll write it out. I’ve been trying to formulate a lot of things I want to talk about and kind of go from there. You never know,” he added, asked if he’d become emotional. “I’m just going to see what happens. When I walk out with my family and stuff (before game) I think it will really hit me.”

It will mark a crazy day as well for Self, who has watched Ellis play for eight years now.

“In Perry you’ve got the rock of all rocks,” said Self, who said Ellis will start Saturday with fellow seniors Traylor, Hunter Mickelson and Evan Manning as well as junior Frank Mason III. KU’s coach and fans are hoping there’s a lot more to come after the 2015-16 postseason. Draftexpress. com has Ellis currently listed as a second-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

“I think they could be pretty good,” he said of his chances of making an NBA roster. “I’m going to try to do the best I can. It’s all in God’s hands after that.”

Maybe, just maybe, Self one day will say he was on hand for Ellis’ high school, college ... and pro debuts.

“He’s almost too good to be true,” Self said. “I can’t say enough good things about him. I’m proud of him. He’s represented himself, his family, his state, all of us in a very very first class way each and every day.”

Has he ever lost to Tyler, a fellow walk-on and former high school teammate, since then?

“No,” Manning said.

“Had some battles though.”

Manning looked so comfortable sitting for the first time at the table where players sit for post-game and pre-practice interviews that a thought occurred to me: One day decades down the road, perhaps after I’m gone, perhaps when I’m sitting at a stop sign waiting for the light to change, Evan Manning will stand in front of a podium in that same spot and handle his introductory news conference as the new Kansas basketball coach as smoothly as he handled it Thursday.

needed a shot clock when they had the ball, continued to score in bunches and, at times, frustrated the Lions with their 1-3-1 full-court zone defense.

“That kind of wild feel to the game gets you out of sync on both ends,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “More power to Wyandotte for creating that atmosphere. They knew that was to their advantage and they did a very nice job with it.”

In the first half, the Lions were boosted by the 6-4 Morgan and 6-5 Brou inside of the paint. Morgan scored 11 of his 17 points in the first quarter and completed a doubledouble with 10 rebounds.

Brou added 12 points, five rebounds, two blocks and a tip-slam while being fouled midway through the first period.

When passing from the high post, Morgan and Brou, who have played together since the sixth grade, have an unspoken understanding of where each other will be on the court and they set each other up for easy layups and dunks.

Off of the bench, 6-6 junior forward Kobe Buffalomeat used his size to contribute eight points and three rebounds.

It wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but the Lions know the postseason is all about moving onto the next game.

“It can be tough,” Lewis said. “You are the favorite and everybody expects you to win. The underdog sometimes has the advantage of being the looser team. All that being said, we win by 18 and we’re all excited and thankful for that.”

“That’s an honor. Before I came I had no idea I’d be in this position. It’s definitely a blessing,” Ellis said of his stat totals.

“Each year I’ve had more and more fun and gotten better and better. I’m just looking to finish strong.”

With games remaining, he already has etched his mark in KU’s history books.

“I really think, at least in the modern era I have been around, going back from the early 1980s on, I would say he would have to be in the discussion to be on the all-time all-(state of) Kansas team based on what he’s done and what he did in high school and of course his four years of college have been stellar,” Self said, mentioning former KU player Wayne Simien of Leavenworth. “Depending if (Brandon) Rush grew up on which side of the state line ... all three of them would be in that discussion and there would obviously be many more.

“Perry’s got a chance to be in the Top 10 at our school in scoring and rebounding, and that’s a pretty special deal, and he didn’t start as a freshman. So most of those guys (like UCLA’s Lucious Allen of KC Wyandotte) probably would have started four years.

Terrapins terrific in win over Illinois The Associated Press

No. 14 Maryland 81, Illinois 55 College Park, Md. — Melo Trimble and Jake Layman scored 18 points each, and Maryland closed out its home schedule with its best game in weeks, a rout of Illinois on Thursday night.

Jared Nickens and Robert Carter Jr. had 14 points apiece for the Terrapins, who never trailed.

Maryland (24-6, 12-5 Big Ten) had lost three of four since climbing to No. 2 in the AP poll in early February.

Trimble made half of his 14 shots, collected eight rebounds and added five assists. The standout sophomore guard was 11 for 37 from the field over the previous four games.

Maverick Morgan reached career highs with 21 points and 10 rebounds for Illinois (13-17, 5-12).

The junior center made 10 of his 13 field goal tries, but his teammates were a collective 12 for 44, including 5 for 20 from three-point range.

Malcolm Hill, who came in averaging 18.2 points per game for the Illini, finished with 10 after making just one basket before halftime.

Maryland led 33-25 early in the second half before Trimble, Layman and Nickens drilled successive three-pointers to boost the margin to 17 points.

After Illinois closed to 45-34, Trimble scored six points in a 14-2 spree that put the Terrapins ahead by 23 with 8:33 remaining.

Maryland went 14 for 25 from beyond the arc,

led by Nickens (4 for 7) and Layman (3 for 5), who was playing in his final college home game.

Volquez makes spring debut in Royals’ loss to Rangers Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — The Royals’ Edinson Volquez allowed one run in the first inning in an otherwise tidy spring training debut, though the Texas Rangers went on to rout Kansas City, 10-0, on Thursday.

Volquez was pitching for the first time since Game 5 of the World Series, when he returned from the Dominican Republic for the funeral of his father to allow two hits over six innings.

The Royals went on to beat the New York Mets in 12 innings for their first championship since 1985.

“I’ve got some fans now. Somebody loves me,” said Volquez, who gave a quick bow to the Royals-heavy crowd that cheered as he exited.

“Getting a standing ovation in spring training, you don’t see that too often.”

The only run Volquez allowed came when left fielder Brett Eibner lost Mitch Moreland’s high fly ball in the sun, allowing Lewis Brinson to scoot home from second base for a 1-0 lead.

Joey Gallo drove in a run and Ryan Rua’s double brought in two more in the fourth for Texas, while Brett Nicholas hit a two-run homer in the eighth and James Jones went deep in a four-run ninth.

Derek Holland, who was limited to 15 starts the last two years because of knee and shoulder injuries, allowed three hits and a walk in 12⁄3 innings for the Rangers.

“I don’t talk about it.

It’s over. I focus on 2016,”

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Starting time Royals: A notoriously slow starter in spring, Volquez was pleased with his performance.

He allowed two hits and two walks in 12⁄3 innings while working on a slight mechanical tweak with his fastball.

Rangers: Holland got Jose Martinez to ground out with the bases loaded in the first, then exited with a runner on base in the second. Holland threw 37 pitches.
