Price Chopper eyes downtown Borders site

t has been clear for a while now that a downtown grocery store at the former Borders site at Seventh and New Hampshire would be a big deal. But now there are signs it may bring a new grocery chain to town.

A member of the project’s development group has confirmed the large Kansas City-based chain Price Chopper is

interested in the downtown location.

I’ve heard that for months now, but hadn’t gotten anyone to confirm it on the record. But Bill Fleming, an attorney with the development group that owns the former Borders site, has now confirmed that the group has been in discussions with Price Chopper.

Topeka — The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bill Thursday that spells out actions that could justify impeaching a Supreme Court justice or other constitutional officer, including attempting to usurp the power of another branch of government.

And while some supporters of the bill said it is not related to any single case, others argued We’ve arrived that it is clearly an expression of at a point today, resentment over in this country the Supreme Court’s decisions and this state, in school finance where specifilitigation, where cally Supreme the court has Court justices recently threatened to close have become public schools kings, where if lawmakers do there is no not pass a constitutional school check.” funding mecha— Sen.

Sen. Pat R-Altoona Pettey, D-Kansas City, noted that the first person who testified for the bill last week, Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, one of the sponsors of the bill, specifically mentioned the school finance cases as a reason he thinks the bill is necessary.

“So I can’t see how we wouldn’t think that is the case,” she said.

Identities and condition updates for two people injured in the accident — one a pedestrian and the other a driver — have not been released.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said Thursday that unless someone is believed to have a life-threatening injury when he or she is transported, police do not share condition information.

“I don’t believe that is the case with this collision,” he said.

A police sergeant at the accident scene Wednesday did say two cars collided and one went off the roadway into the Liberty Hall video store, 644 Massachusetts St. He added that other details would be available soon.

Bryant, of 6News, told the Journal-World on Thursday that the 6News vehicle was heading west on Seventh Street and had a green light. She said that as the 6News employee was heading into the intersection, a Toyota Corolla driven by a woman going north on Massachusetts Street also entered the intersection, against the light.

“Our employee put on her brakes to avoid hitting that vehicle, tried to swerve ... and hit the rear passenger door,” Bryant said.

The driver of the Toyota reportedly lost control and veered off the roadway, hitting a pedestrian and clipping a planter before crashing into the glass storefront of Liberty Hall video, pushing back a 2-foothigh wall of limestone blocks and bricks that made up the lower structure of the storefront.

“It blew out all the mortar in the bricks,” said Dean Edington, general manager of the Liberty Hall box office and video store, who on Thursday had workers assessing the damage.

SEN. JEFF KING, R-INDEPENDENCE, presides over the Senate Judiciary Committee, which advanced a bill Thursday spelling out grounds for impeaching Supreme Court justices and other constitutional officers.

back to the Supreme Court all responsibility for administering lower courts, including setting salaries of lower court judges and assessing docket fees.

Testifying before a House committee in support of that bill earlier in the week, King acknowledged that relations between the Legislature and judiciary are “not particularly good,” but he said his bill was an attempt to restore the separation of powers.

But Rep. Les Osterman, R-Wichita, said he thinks it’s the Supreme Court that has crossed the line.

“When they tell you a dollar amount that you have to come up with for funding for a certain project, that’s encroachment into the Legislature’s power,” he said.

Sen. David Haley, DKansas City, tried unsuccessfully to table the impeachment bill. He said he attended the Supreme Court’s recent special session held at Topeka High School, and he said the people he talked with there were not in favor of the proposal.

“This is an issue that has resonated with many Kansans,” he said.

The impeachment bill now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

But Moon, the Senate Chief of Staff, did.

Moon said allocating resources to multicultural communities was essential and that he saw a lot of positives that could come from it. However, he said he had reservations about funding the group without yet knowing specifics about how it would work going forward.

years ago the Legislature passed a law that changed the way district court chief judges were chosen, a law that the Supreme Court recently struck down as unconstitutional because it usurped the Supreme Court’s own constitutional authority to administer the judicial branch of government.

“If the Supreme Court had impeachment ability over the Legislature the way it’s stated in Senate Bill 439,” he said, “the Supreme Court could have started impeachment proceedings against every single person that voted on that bill in good conscience and good faith, exercising their duties to the best of their ability just because of how we voted.”

The impeachment bill is only the latest example of legislation introduced this year that illustrates growing tension between the Legislature and the judiciary.

Last month, the House voted on a proposed constitutional amendment that would have given the governor authority to name Supreme Court justices directly, subject to Senate confirmation.

That measure failed to receive the necessary twothirds majority vote.

King himself has introduced a bill, responding to the court’s decision on separation of powers, that would effectively hand

The Kansas Constitution allows for removal of justices and other constitutional officers if they are impeached and convicted of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Senate Bill 439 spells out examples of actions that could constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, including several actions that are not a violation of any law.

In addition to attempting to usurp the power of the legislative or executive branches, the bill would allow justices to be impeached for “exhibiting discourteous conduct toward litigants,” or exhibiting “personal misbehavior or misconduct.”

It would also allow for impeachment of the governor or other executive branch constitutional officers for personal misbehavior or, “exhibiting discourteous conduct toward persons with whom the officer deals in an official capacity.”

Sen. Forrest Knox, RAltoona, said he believes it is important to classify those kinds of actions as impeachable offenses.

“We’ve arrived at a point today, in this country and this state, where specifically Supreme Court justices have become kings, where there is no check,” Knox said.

“We’re not talking about indictable offenses,” he said. “If a Supreme Court justice murders somebody, that will be dealt with. We’re talking political crimes. We’re talking things that are not in the statutes, expectations that the public has of a governor, on these constitutional offices.”

But committee chairman Jeff King, R-Independence, said he opposed the bill for that very reason.

He noted that two

Senator seeks to end daylight saving time in Kansas Statehouse W Live

hen you get elected to the Kansas Legislature, you can introduce any bill you want. And when you’re the head of a powerful budget committee, you can be pretty confident that your bill will get a hearing.

But even some Statehouse veterans were a little surprised that Sen. Ty Masterson, who chairs the Senate Ways and Means Committee, chose to introduce a bill to do away with daylight saving time in Kansas.

Actually, Masterson said during a hearing Thursday that he doesn’t care whether we do away with standard time or daylight saving time.

“I would just like to not have the shift,” he said.

“I’m ready for the clock to stop changing, along with

The United States didn’t adopt the practice until 1918, but it soon proved to be unpopular, because people in those days rose earlier and went to bed earlier, and it was soon repealed, with a congressional override of President Woodrow Wilson’s veto.

During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt reinstated daylight saving time year-round, Peter Hancock referring to it as “war phancock@ljworld.com time.” But there was no many of my constituents.” federal law mandating According to the it, and so when the war website webexhibits.org, ended in 1945 states were daylight saving time began free to keep it or not, and in Europe during World its use was inconsistent War I as an energy-saving across the country. strategy in the winter. By That apparently caused moving clocks forward problems for the broadone hour, offices and faccasting industry, not to tories didn’t use as much mention airlines and fuel to light buildings in railroads. And so in 1966, the late afternoon.

Congress adopted the

Uniform Time Act, calling for daylight saving time to begin and end on specified days. It’s been amended a few times since then, most recently by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, when Congress decided it should run from 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March (which is this coming Sunday) until 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November.

States, however, retain the right to exempt themselves from daylight saving time by an act of the legislature.

Masterson said he thinks there’s no justification for daylight saving time anymore.

“It’s not about whether you’re on daylight savings or standard time. It’s about messing with clock changes,” he said. “There are studies that show

productivity changes.

There’s not an energy value with it anymore.

All your tractors have headlights on them; you can get out there and plow in the dark.

“The purposes have changed; the popularity has dropped. States are moving in that direction.

And with as many children as I have, I see a lot of production drop that week,” he said.

Masterson did acknowledge that one of the biggest reasons to vote against the bill might be the criticism lawmakers will take for dealing with such a trivial matter in the midst of all the other issues facing Kansas.

Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, who chairs the Federal and State Affairs Committee where the bill was heard, said

he initially didn’t think the bill was a priority when Masterson first introduced it last year.

“And then I traveled my district, and people back home have noticed that bill is in my committee, and they’re asking me, ‘So why don’t you at least have a hearing on it?’”

Ostmeyer said. “Well, I decided to have the hearing, and now people from home are saying, ‘Is that all you guys have to do? Get your butts back home.”

Sen. Kay Wolf, R-Prairie Village, said she supported the bill “because I too hate changing.”

“Either way, if we can stay the same, I’m very supportive of it,” she said.

KU Student Senate votes not to restore newspaper’s full funding

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The University Daily Kansan’s student fee revenue, which was slashed in half this year, won’t be restored for the coming year, under a bill approved Wednesday by the Kansas University Student Senate.

The Senate approved a bill allocating required student fees for fiscal year 2017, including $1 per student for the student newspaper, generating about $45,000 for the year.

That’s half of what the Kansan previously received, a $2 fee generating about $90,000 a year.

or commercial property.

That would include what are often called “inclusionary zoning” laws, which are aimed at promoting affordable housing and mixed-income neighborhoods.

Those laws typically require a certain percentage of new construction within a subdivision be affordable to people with low to moderate incomes.

Although no one in Lawrence has formally proposed such a measure, Toomay said it has been discussed.

And that was enough to prompt the Kansas Association of Realtors to

Roberts once in the abdomen, killing him.

Walker, 31, faces a single charge of felony murder, which is a killing committed during the commission of a felony.

During her opening statement on Tuesday, Prosecutor Amy McGowan told jurors the evidence shows Walker forcibly entered Roberts’ home with an intention to steal from him. The state’s evidence, she said, will prove Walker committed an aggravated burglary, which is the underlying felony to the felony murder.

Defense Attorney Blake Glover told the jury during his opening statement that the evidence paints a different picture.

Rather than breaking into Roberts’ home, Glover said, Walker and Robinson went there to buy marijuana. The incident was a “drug deal gone bad” rather than an aggravated burglary, he said.

During a February 2015 trial — where Walker faced charges of aggravated burglary and felony murder — the jury found

Overturning the funding decision at this point would require either Student Body President Jessie Pringle or Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to veto the Senate’s fee package — which also includes a $2 fee increase to fund a new Multicultural Student Government — according to Senate communications director Isaac Bahney.

Kansan leaders pleaded for their funding to be restored before the Senate Wednesday night.

The student fee revenue is roughly 5 percent of the Kansan’s total revenue, the rest of which

comes from advertising sales, Editor-in-Chief Vicky Díaz-Camacho said. The student dollars are critical, she said, especially since advertising revenue declined $50,000 from fall 2014 to fall 2015.

After the fee cut, the Kansan had to eliminate paid student positions and was financially unable to hire a faculty adviser for the news side of the publication after the departure of the previous news adviser left the position empty.

“Not to have that sounding board, that person to support us and just help us through this learning process that is so essential to student journalists, to me it’s so

surprising that no one empathizes with that,” Díaz-Camacho said. “We all need direction.”

Kansan news editor Kelly Cordingley said the newspaper has about 28 students on its payroll and roughly 30 unpaid correspondents.

Starting in the fall the Kansan cut its print publication to just two days a week, but leaders say they still need a full staff to produce more and higher quality web and social media content.

An earlier version of the Senate’s fee recommendations called for restoring the funding, and a number of Senate members said Wednesday they favored restoring

request pre-emptive legislation to stop it from happening, in Lawrence or anywhere else in Kansas.

Luke Bell, who lobbies for the realtors group, cited a study on the impact of inclusionary zoning in Madison, Wis., which began using it in 2006. He said the study showed the number of new homes and apartments built in the city plummeted after the program began, which was during the peak of the housing market boom.

“So therefore it had the opposite effect, according to the study,” he said. “It actually made housing less affordable for purchasers.

It raised the price and led to a decrease in supply, which is the exact opposite of what it intended.”

Bell said the legislation is similar to an existing

law that has been on the books since 2001 that prohibits cities from enacting rent controls.

“This bill simply extends that same protection that has been on the books for 15 years to the sale of property as well,” he said.

The bill passed the Senate, 34-6, on Feb. 23. Douglas County Sens. Marci Francisco of Lawrence and Tom Holland of Baldwin City, both Democrats, voted against it.

Bell said passage of the bill would have no impact on voluntary programs in which developers can receive certain rewards or incentives from a city if they agree to set aside a certain number of units for affordable housing.

Lawrence Community Housing Trust, formerly known as Tenants to

Homeowners, is one such voluntary program run by a local nonprofit corporation. It sells homes to low and moderate income buyers at subsidized prices, on the condition that when the buyers decide to sell the home, they will sell to another low or moderate income buyer at a price determined by a formula that may be lower than the home’s actual market value.

The committee is expected to act on the bill within the next several days. Lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn the regular session on March 25, then return in late April for what’s known as the veto, or wrap-up session.

Walker guilty of aggravated burglary, but not of felony murder.

Another jury failed to reach a decision on a felony murder charge when walker was tried a second time in December 2015.

Robinson was found guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary in the case and last April was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

Lawson, the detective, told jurors on Thursday that Walker was cooperative during his interview but not very specific about the events on the morning of Roberts’ death.

Walker admitted to knowing Roberts, Lawson said. He also said he slept on Roberts’ couch the night of the incident, falling asleep around 1:30 a.m.

Earlier in the week Roberts’ mother, Marilyn Howard, who lived with Roberts, told jurors there was no couch in their duplex.

Lawson said Walker told him he was awakened when someone “burst” through the duplex’s front door.

“I was asleep, there was like a struggle,” he said in the video. “The first thing I thought was just to run.”

“When you wake up to

a struggle you don’t see nothing,” he said later.

Walker and Robinson were arrested in the area shortly after the incident was reported around 3:10 a.m. Both had blood on their clothes, police have testified, and neither appeared to be in possession of stolen drugs or money.

Testimony from several different forensic scientists with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation indicated that a hat with Walker’s DNA was recovered at the scene and the blood on his and Robinson’s clothes did, in fact, come from Patrick Roberts.

Jurors heard further testimony from Ashley Noble, who has children with Robinson and knows Walker.

Noble told jurors that she, Robinson, his brother Rodney Robinson and Walker had all been partying at the now-closed nightclub Club Magic, 804 W. 24th St., the night of March 7, 2014.

During Noble’s testimony, attorneys showed the jury a photo of Walker from that evening, indicating he had been wearing a hat similar to the one found at the scene with his DNA inside.

Lawrence Police Detective M.T. Brown told

jurors that security footage from a Presto gas station, 2330 Iowa St., showed Robinson, his girlfriend at the time Amanda Wood, and his brother Rodney Robinson arrived at the store minutes before Roberts’ death. The store is 927 feet “as the crow flies” from Roberts’ duplex, Brown said.

A third and unidentifiable man wearing a dark ball cap also appeared in the footage, Brown said.

Inside the gas station Rodney Robinson bought a pair of Swisher Sweets cigars, which police have testified are often used to smoke marijuana.

A jacket similar to the one Rodney Robinson was wearing in security footage and containing cigars was recovered by police after Roberts’ death.

KBI firearms specialist Zachary Carr also told jurors that the bullet and cartridge casings found at the scene were fired from the Ruger 9mm pistol also recovered.

Earlier testimony showed that pistol was purchased a month before the incident by Walker’s then-girlfriend. She reported the weapon missing after she was contacted by police in connection with Roberts’ death.

the Kansan’s funding.

However, the recommendation on the table came within a larger fee package — including the fee increase to fund the new Multicultural Student Government.

Senator Harrison Baker, for one, called failing to restore Kansan funding this year a “necessary evil” to enable the Multicultural Student Government to move forward without further delay.

Díaz-Camacho didn’t return a message seeking comment following the Senate’s decision.

Last month DíazCamacho and former Editor-in-Chief Katie Kutsko sued Gray-Little and Durham, alleging that by approving the 2015-16 fees they allowed the Student Senate to illegally cut the newspaper’s funding based on its content, creating a chilling effect on its “expression of First Amendment-protected speech.” Kutsko works as an intern for Sunflower Publishing, which, along with the Journal-World, is owned by The World Company.

Outcry delays school finance bill A scheduled hearing on a measure that would give the governor more control over school finance has been cancelled after educators across the state flooded lawmakers with emails opposing the bill.

Masterson says the bill would increase transparency of the school finance process.

Masterson said he doesn’t plan to revisit the issue this year.

Young dancers to take THE ART OF CRAFTING a walk on the wild side Saturday fair

will feature handmade goods galore

axine James is still getting used to the occupational injuries of her new hobby.

“You burn your fingers on the hot glue,” she says, explaining the messy practice of wrapping jute rope around vases and bowls. “It’s like sewing when you run the needle through your finger.”

At 79, after years of handcrafting pep-club uniforms and graduation dresses for her nowgrown daughters, the retired network administrator recently launched Cactus in a Jar. James’ one-woman enterprise, which sells cacti and succulents in handembellished glass containers, will be one of 80 exhibitors at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department’s annual Spring Arts and Crafts Festival.

Slated for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, the festival is expected to draw upwards of 5,000 people to Lawrence this weekend, says Duane Peterson, Parks and Recreation special event supervisor.

“Usually ours kicks off the season of artsand-crafts shows in the Midwest,” he says of the fair, which will host vendors from such states as Colorado, Texas and even Oregon. “That’s why we get so many this time of year.”

With warmer weather on the horizon, festival attendees will have their fair share of yard art, birdhouses and gardening items to pick from Saturday, Peterson says.

Also among the lineup: homemade dog treats and accessories, textile crafts, goat’s milk skincare products, ceramics, stainedglass jewelry, baked goods and plenty of home decor.

Saturday marks James’ first appearance on the arts-and-crafts circuit, at least as a vendor of handmade goods. The Avon representative also has a knack for assembling gift baskets, which she’s sold

Now, with her sewing machine having “bit the dust” and her children grown, she’s found a new creative outlet with Cactus in a Jar. “I saw the jute wrapping on TV one day and

thought ‘that’s pretty cool,’” James says of her fledgling venture. “So, I had a vase here and I tried it.”

Often, she’ll start out with a specific item — at the moment, James has found inspiration in a set of miniature garden tools scored at Michael’s — and then builds a theme around it. Recent creations have included nautical motifs, for example, or a Southwestern-style piece embellished with jalapeno-patterned fabric and tiny Mexican dolls.

James says she prefers cacti and succulents because they’re lowmaintenance, slow-growing, survive well indoors and don’t seem to attract the diseases that plague other plants — or, as she puts it, “I would hate to sell somebody something and they didn’t take care of it and in two weeks the darn thing’s dead.”

For those especially bereft of gardening skills, she’s keeping a few artificial cacti in the mix Saturday. Prices should range from $10 all the way up to $40, for some of the more elaborate live-plant ensembles.

“I’m either going to

sell out the first two hours or I’m going to come home with all these plants,” James says. “You just don’t know.”

The Lawrence Arts Center is going to the dogs this weekend — and chickens and lions and kangaroos and donkeys.

Actually, we’re not so sure about the dogs, but the Arts Center’s productions of “La Fille Mal Gardee” and “Carnival of the Animals,” premiering as a double feature today at 7 p.m., will indeed feature plenty of kids in costume as cuddly critters. Also adding to the cuteness: a real, live miniature horse.

“It’s a first for the Arts Center,” says “La Fille Mal Gardee” director Paige Comparato, who as of Wednesday hadn’t yet seen the horse’s performance chops on stage. “I think the kids are really excited.”

Young dancers ranging in age from kindergarten to high school make up the casts in both productions.

Comparato’s abridged version (with co-choreographer Shannon Pickett) of Frederick Ashton’s take on the classical comedic ballet of young love in the French countryside follows Lawrence Arts Center dance artist-in-residence Eleanor Goudie-Averill’s reimagining of Camille Saint-Saëns’ famous musical suite “Carnival of the Animals” as a modern dance production.

In the Arts Center’s staging, co-choreographed

by Donna Jo Harkrider and Monika Ivy, furry and feathered creatures are called to King Lion’s Court. Much to the king’s dismay, his rowdy subjects run amok.

One of Goudie-Averill’s favorite moments is a rare bit of serenity in the cuckoo’s solo, scored

by Saint-Saëns’ haunting ninth movement, “The Cuckoo in the Depths of the Woods.”

“It’s just this beautiful moment of calm within a production that is fun and chaotic in other parts,” she says.

3 arrested after chase ends near KU campus

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Three men were arrested after they allegedly led Lawrence police on a car chase early Thursday.

The chase ended on a dead-end street, at which point the three fled on foot, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.

The hunt for the suspects involved several officers and the Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter.

The chase began at 1:11 a.m., when an officer tried unsuccessfully to

stop a vehicle near Ninth Street and Emery Road, McKinley said.

The driver continued south on Emery Road, driving at slow speeds, and then accelerated when the vehicle crossed the Kansas University campus and turned on Lilac Road, which is a dead-end.

The occupants of the vehicle jumped out and ran, McKinley said.

The officer conducting the pursuit arrested one of the suspects after he was found hiding in the backyard of a nearby residence, McKinley said.

Several minutes later, officers found another suspect on foot near 17th and Louisiana streets.

That suspect, who had cuts on his head and hands, “was uncooperative and provided officers a false name,” McKinley said.

Officers were able to determine his identity and learned he had a warrant for his arrest. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of obstruction and on the outstanding warrant.

About an hour later the third suspect was found walking near 14th and Ohio streets. That

suspect was the owner of the vehicle used to flee police, McKinley said.

All three men were booked into the Douglas County jail on a number of charges, McKinley said.

They were released later Thursday on bonds of $750 to $1,000.

The suspects are Zederick Lemont Hargraves, 28, of Shawnee; Leo Joseph Johnston, 32, of Lawrence; and Larry Raymound Evans, 30, of Kansas City, Kan.

KU prof to address Congress

One of Kansas University’s new Foundation Distinguished Professors is scheduled to brief members of Congress this morning in Washington, D.C., on the issue of immigration, according to the university.

Cecilia Menjívar, who joined the KU faculty in the fall as a professor of sociology, is an expert in U.S.-bound migration.

Menjívar is a member of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine committee that worked two years on Menjívar the report “The Integration of Immigrants into American Society,” published in September. She and two other committee members will speak at a 9 a.m. bipartisan briefing including several members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

KU student injured in wreck A 21-year-old Kansas University student was hospitalized Thursday afternoon after the moped he was riding was struck by a car near the KU campus.

Sgt. Bronson Star of the Lawrence Police Department said a 19-year-old KU student driving a Volvo struck the moped rider and will be cited for failure to yield on a left turn.

The accident occurred on West Campus Road near Memorial Stadium.

Star said the Volvo was northbound and the moped was southbound when the accident occurred about 1:15 p.m.

Emergency medical technicians were planning to transport the moped rider to a

trauma center, Star said. His injuries were described as nonlife-threatening.

Westar seeks residential rate hike Westar Energy is seeking to hike rates for residential customers and schools while cutting rates for most businesses.

The Wichita Eagle reports that a rate request filed with the Kansas commission that regulates utilities seeks to increase the transmission rate on residential customers’ bills by about 31 percent.

The changes pending before the Kansas Corporation Commission would add about $4 a month to the average customer’s bill.

Meanwhile, the average small-business would pay about $31 less.

Midsize businesses would see about a 1 percent increase in their rates, while the largest commercial and industrial customers would get a 4 percent cut. Schools are proposed to get a 29 percent increase.

Hesston police chief acted fast A police chief who rushed without backup into a Hesston lawnmower factory amid a shooting shot the gunman about five minutes after he arrived.

That’s according to a timeline and recordings of 911 calls that authorities released Thursday from the Feb. 25 shootings at Excel Industries. Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder was on the scene 20 seconds after the first call went out.

About 300 people were working second shift at the Hesston plant when Cedric L. Ford opened fire. Ford shot 17 people total, three of whom died.

Mom can’t control grown son’s Facebook posts Dear Annie: My son is 36 years old and was raised in a Christian home. However, twice in the last two months, he has posted pictures on Facebook of women being hit by men. The first was a cartoon, and he posted it on his teenage daughter’s page. I sent him a message asking if he thought it was a good idea to tell his daughter that it is OK to be hit. He removed the post, but there was no explanation or apology.

Then last week, he posted a video of a man doing a parody of a kung fu fighter kicking a woman in the head.

Netflix gets a dark new dramedy “Arrested Development” and then some is perhaps the best description of “Flaked,” a new comedy-drama (can there be a tragedy-comedy?) that begins streaming on Netflix today.

Will Arnett and “Arrested” executive producer Mitchell Hurwitz reunite for this dark series set in the never-never land of Venice Beach, California.

We first meet, or rather, hear Chip (Arnett) at a meeting for recovering alcoholics. He is testifying about his own grim past as a drunk d r i v e r who killed someone with his car. Seemingly sober and stripped of his license, he bikes around Venice Beach as a free-floating, advice-dispensing guru who holds court at a local storefront.

His social and love lives appear to take place completely within the recovery community, where Chip’s behavior straddles the line between spiritual adviser and predatory opportunist. His current girlfriend, Kara (Lina Esco), is more of a sex partner, someone he met at a meeting. Really, she’s someone he met only because his recovering friend, Dennis (David Sullivan), had set his sights on her. As “Flaked” begins, Chip is scheming to horn in on Dennis’ new crush, a waitress named London (Ruth Kearney).

Chip and his friends have an easy way with the passive-aggressive banter of casual male frenemies. At the same time, much of their chatter and many of their activities (riding bikes, playing handball, scoping out girls as they change shifts at the local coffee houses) would not tax the abilities or imaginations of 15-year-old boys.

“Flaked” takes place almost entirely within a few blocks of Venice Beach. It’s nicely shot, but with a handheld feel, as if filmed on an iPhone, giving it an experimental feel — like a Sundance movie filled with familiar stars. Arnett makes the most of this character study, asking viewers to ride along for eight episodes as Chip digs deeper, more destructive holes with his essential dishonesty.

“Flaked” does not deviate from all entertainment norms.

We’re asked to believe that Chip, a 40-something alcoholic bluffer with no discernible income, appears to be sexual catnip to gorgeous women half his age. Venice Beach isn’t that far from Hollywood, after all.

Hiring hurry It’s too bad the Lawrence school board didn’t provide more opportunity for public input before hiring a new superintendent.

K

yle Hayden may be an excellent choice as Lawrence’s next superintendent of schools, but the process leading to his selection left something to be desired.

Last Friday, the Lawrence school board identified three finalists for the superintendent’s job. Just five days later, late Tuesday night, the board announced it had selected Hayden for the job. Hayden and one other candidate had been interviewed on Monday and the third candidate on Tuesday. The Journal-World didn’t have an opportunity to interview the final candidate until Tuesday. By the time a story about her could have appeared in Wednesday’s newspaper, the decision already was made.

The speedy conclusion of the superintendent hiring process was a significant contrast to similar searches to fill key positions at Kansas University and the city of Lawrence. Like the school board, the Lawrence City Commission also hired a consulting firm to aid its search for a new city manager and then screened the candidates in private.

However, after the City Commission announced the names of its three finalists for the job on Nov. 16, the public had ample opportunity to learn about and comment on the candidates — including a public reception for the finalists on Dec. 17. Public meetings with various university groups also have become a standard part of the process for hiring deans and other top administrators at KU. The job of Lawrence school superintendent is no less important to the community, and it’s disappointing that the school board didn’t give the public more opportunity to be involved. The finalists reportedly met with boardselected focus groups of district staff, community representatives and students, but there was no opportunity for the public at large to meet the candidates. And, with only five days between the announcement of the finalists and the hiring decision, the public had little chance to get to know the candidates.

Hayden, of course, was known to some local people because he had worked as assistant superintendent of business and operations in the Lawrence district for five years. Maybe school board members hurried the process because they were pretty sure Hayden, the known quantity, would be their eventual choice. Board members also had expressed concern that they needed to move quickly to fill this position because so many superintendents’ jobs around the state were open.

There’s no particular reason to think that members of the public could have supplied important input that might have swayed the board’s decision, but it’s too bad they weren’t even given that opportunity. It’s not the level of transparency Lawrence residents expect in the hiring of such a key community leader.

U.S. effort closing in on IS forces Washington — U.S. Special Operations Forces working with a widening array of partners are slowly tightening their squeeze on Islamic State fighters in eastern Syria — moving toward an eventual assault on the jihadists’ selfdeclared capital of Raqqa.

The Pentagon’s top priority in the campaign against the Islamic State remains disrupting external operations against potential targets in the U.S. or elsewhere. Sources say that over the past 18 months, U.S. drone strikes and other direct actions have killed close to 100 Islamic State militants who had made contact with volunteers abroad to plan attacks in the U.S. or other Western countries.

To gain better intelligence, the U.S. is seeking to capture Islamic State leaders. An operation last month, reported March 1 by The New York Times, seized an operative who was traveling in northern Iraq. This captive is said to have had information about the Islamic State’s use of chemical weapons, including a mustard gas attack on Kurdish forces in Iraq last August. The captive is being interrogated by the U.S. military but is expected to be transferred soon to Iraqi Kurdish custody.

A similar raid by Delta Force commandos last May seized Umm Sayyaf, the wife of the director of the Islamic State’s energy activities. That

“

U.S. commanders are planning more such raids in the future, using a 200-person Special Operations Forces team now in Iraq that was authorized last year by the Obama administration.

The campaign in eastern Syria is directed by about 50 U.S. Special Operations Forces now on the ground there, joined by about 20 French and perhaps a dozen British commandos. They’re working with about 40,000 Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters dubbed the Syrian Democratic Forces; all but about 7,000 are from the Syrian Kurdish militia

known as the YPG. U.S. commanders hope soon to augment the American ground force in Syria to about 300 troops who can train and assist these fighters.

With this broader U.S. base of operations inside Syria, it’s hoped that special forces from other countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, could play a role there.

The squeeze on Raqqa tightened last month with the capture of the town of AlShaddadi, about 50 miles east, by a force of about 6,000, including about 2,500 Arabs.

The Islamic State countered by attacking Tal Abyad, along the Turkish border. Overall, the recent battles have killed between 75 and 100 fighters backed by the U.S. and wounded 250 to 300.

The next stage in the assault may come to the west of Raqqa. Syrian fighters backed by Turkish commandos appear poised to move south from Jarabulus, where the Euphrates River crosses from Turkey into Syria, toward the area around Manbij. Other U.S.-backed forces hold the Tishrin Dam, about 55 miles northwest of Raqqa.

The Turkish-led campaign could finally close the gap in its border, through which the Islamic State has maintained its supply lines.

A limited southern push toward Raqqa was begun recently by a small unit of Jordanian and British special

forces that captured a former regime outpost in southeastern Syria, close to the Iraqi and Jordanian borders.

The methodical campaign in eastern Syria contrasts with the messy battlefield to the west, where Syrian regime troops backed by Russia confront rebels supported by the CIA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia — all facing jihadists from the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra.

U.S. officials describe this confusing layering of forces as “marbling,” and it’s the reason the current ceasefire is so fragile.

As the Islamic State spreads to other countries beyond Iraq and Syria, so has the U.S.-led campaign against that group and alQaida — but so far only in limited, isolated operations.

As the U.S.-led coalition steps up its assaults, the jihadists are trying to strike back, with what sources say are active terror plots across Europe.

The Islamic State is gradually being degraded, as President Obama pledged.

But it still holds large swaths of Syria, Iraq and now Libya — and it maintains a global terror network and a demonstrated willingness to use chemical weapons.

A big question for the next president will be whether to escalate Obama’s campaign.

Will Democrats unite behind Clinton?

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

The battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders hasn’t turned into a playground brawl like the Republican campaign, but it has still pitted Democrats against each other, sometimes bitterly. Sanders has slammed Clinton as a candidate in the pocket of billionaire donors. Clinton has dismissed Sanders as a dreamer who can’t get things done. And some of their followers have been nastier than that.

After a divisive campaign, can Clinton win support from Sanders voters if she wins the nomination, as appears likely? She can and she will — but it’s going to take some work.

That’s a bitter pill for Sanderistas to swallow while their candidate is still slogging from state to state in pursuit of a long-shot comeback. Some are already organizing a sullen resistance movement under the slogan “Bernie or Bust.” Its organizers are asking progressive voters to pledge not to vote for Clinton, no matter what.

We’ve seen that kind of rearguard action before, and it almost never works. In 2008, a group of die-hard Clinton supporters pledged never to vote for Barack Obama; their mostly female group was called PUMA, an acronym for “Party Unity My … .” By election day, they were forgotten.

“People who come out to vote in primaries rarely sit out general elections,” noted Democratic strategist Mark Mellman, who isn’t working for either candidate. “Almost all Sanders voters will end up backing Clinton, assuming she gets the nomination.”

The most obvious reason: In the general election, Clinton will of course be running against a Republican, most likely Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, and Democrats will try to turn the election into a referendum on the GOP nomi-

“

Once she’s sewn up the nomination, she’ll collect two endorsements that could sway skeptical progressives: one from Sanders, the other from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass.”

nee, no matter which widely loathed name is on the ticket.

But the GOP candidate won’t be Clinton’s only asset. Once she’s sewn up the nomination, she’ll collect two endorsements that could sway skeptical progressives: one from Sanders, the other from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

“There’s going to be no reluctance on his part” if Clinton wins, Sanders’ chief strategist, Tad Devine, told me.

“He has said that Hillary Clinton is extremely well qualified to be president.

Meanwhile, he’s competing, and it’s going to go all the way to the end of the primaries.”

Warren hasn’t said when she’ll make an endorsement, but she’s already thinking about how she could play a role in helping Clinton win — and, meanwhile, nudging Clinton toward more progressive positions.

“Economic populism is driving a lot of the debate,” a person familiar with Warren’s thinking told me. “She knows how to communicate and operate in that space. She takes seriously her role in helping Democrats get it right.”

Warren has already lobbied Clinton to support expanding Social Security benefits, a favorite progressive goal. Last month, Clinton promised not to seek benefit cuts and said she wants to increase benefits for the poorest beneficiaries.

Warren also helped persuade Clinton to endorse legislation banning Wall Street executives from accepting “golden handshake” payments from their firms when they get government jobs.

In fact, Clinton has been campaigning as a progressive all along — just as an incrementalist progressive, not a revolutionary like Sanders.

She supports a higher federal minimum wage — just not as high as Sanders. She wants to expand financial aid to poor students and make community colleges tuition-free — but not all public four-year universities, as Sanders has proposed. She wants to expand President Obama’s health insurance program, but not convert it to a European-style “single payer” system, as Sanders wants.

She even has a campaign finance reform plan — although it’s not as radical as her rival’s. After her defeat in New Hampshire, she tried to sound as fired up as Sanders about that issue.

“Sen. Sanders and I both want to get secret unaccountable money out of politics,” she said. “You’re not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me.”

But Clinton’s biggest problem with progressives isn’t her policies; it’s her history. Polls have long shown that many voters, including Sanders backers, don’t quite trust her. In New Hampshire, voters who ranked honesty as a high priority favored Sanders over Clinton, 92 percent to 6 percent.

Clinton knows that.

“I understand that voters have questions,” she told an interviewer in January. “I think there’s an underlying question that maybe is really in the back of people’s minds, and that is: ‘Is she in it for us or is she in it for herself?’ I think that’s a question people are trying to sort through.”

A credible answer to that question, a little help from Sanders and Warren, and continued chaos in the GOP will make it possible for Clinton to reunify her party for the fall campaign.

Fleming confirmed that a downtown grocery store project is likely going to ask for some sort of financial incentives from City Hall, although he didn’t provide any details.

Fleming said the group is seeking a New Markets Tax Credit, which is a federal program that invests in distressed areas. City Hall assistance, though, still may be needed.

As for the Price Chopper component to all of this, I do have a few details. The Price Choppers in Kansas City are owned by multiple families.

Fleming confirmed the group has been talking with the Queen’s Price Chopper chain. That chain is run by Barry Queen. My understanding is Barry Queen grew up in Lawrence. I’m still working to get in touch with Queen.

According to websites and media reports, Queen’s Price Chopper has been in business since 1974 and owns five Price Choppers in the Kansas City area, including in Overland Park, Bonner Springs, Paola and Spring Hill.

I’ve also got a call in to folks at Checkers to find out if they have any updates on their thoughts on the project.

Fleming said he expects the development group will make a decision on which grocery company to work with in the next couple of months.

Why is it so hard to make decisions that seemed easy before the changes?

20 states look to fix rape-kit procedures USA TODAY NETWORK inquiry showed mounds of untested evidence Steve Reilly USA TODAY

At least 20 states are pursuing reforms to the inconsistent ways rape kits are handled by law enforcement agencies after a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation last year revealed tens of thousands of rape evidence kits went untested nationwide.

Legislatures have been flooded with a total of about 50 different bills in recent months — most introduced since the beginning of this year as lawmakers returned to statehouses for 2016 sessions — dealing with various aspects of how rape kits are handled by the criminal justice system. The proposals include new funding for testing rape kits, audits of long-stored evidence and reducing the discretion police departments or officers have in deciding whether to submit rape evidence for testing by standardizing requirements, including setting time limits for submission to crime labs.

Kurdish fighters describe ISIL chemical weapons attacks Strike was first use of banned arms since Saddam Matthew Vickery

Special for USA TODAY MAKHMOUR , IRAQ Ahmad Rasool, 21, was drinking tea with 20 other Kurdish soldiers when Islamic State mortars began to hit.

The Kurds were used to such at-

tacks after battling the militants for more than a year, but this one was different: On impact, clouds of what turned out to be mustard gas filled the air.

“Suddenly, I had to really scratch my back,” Rasool told USA TODAY about the attack in August 2015. “Red spots then started to appear on my skin like boils. ... I saw that some of the other soldiers, their skin and hands were swelling up.”

Rasool’s position was hit by what has been confirmed to be

the first chemical weapon attack on Iraqi soil since dictator Saddam Hussein unleashed chemical weapons against Kurds in 1988.

Other Kurdish positions around Kirkuk and Gwer also were hit last summer.

Chemical attacks by the extremist group are becoming more frequent in Iraq, causing panic and disarray among soldiers and civilians alike, according to the Kurdish fighters, known as peshmerga.

Wednesday, the U.S. military

revealed that it destroyed an Islamic State chemical weapons facility as a result of intelligence from a captured fighter who was a top chemical weapons official under Saddam.

Chemical weapons are banned under an international treaty signed in the wake of their lethal use during World War I. Makhmour has been hit by four chemical attacks — chlorine and mustard gas — since the v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Trump mauls media: ‘I do hate them’ Candidate’s disdain for the people who cover campaign has grown

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a news conference on March 5, in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Rick Hampson USA TODAY

The biggest critic of news media coverage of the Republican presidential campaign is the biggest beneficiary of news media coverage of the Republican presidential campaign.

“I do hate them,’’ Donald Trump has said of political journalists. “Some of them are such lying, disgusting people. …

(They’re) among the most dishonest groups of people I’ve ever met.’’ In October, he said 50% of reporters were “terrible.’’ He’s since upped that to “70 to 75%.’’

RHONA WISE, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The relationship can get physical. Tuesday, Breitbart website reporter Michelle Fields said her arm was yanked by campaign manager Corey Lewandowski as she tried to ask Trump a question. The Trump campaign denied the accusation. The Daily Beast reported that Lewandowski acknowledged to a Breitbart editor that he grabbed Fields, whom he said he did not recognize as a reporter for the site, which is friendly to Trump.

Nobel laureate Suu Kyi denied Myanmar presidency She urges supporters to back party choice Lucy Kafanov

Special for USA TODAY YANGON, MYANMAR

She is the iconic face of democracy in a country crushed by more than a half-century of military rule — a former political prisoner, Nobel laureate and the head of the National League for Democracy party, which saw a landslide victory in November.

Among all the titles granted to

HEIN HTET, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

It is unclear what formal role Suu Kyi will have in the new government.

Aung San Suu Kyi in recent years, the president of Myanmar, for now, will not be included.

Her party ended speculation Thursday about a Suu Kyi presi-

dency by nominating her longtime confidant U Htin Kyaw as the country’s likely first democratically chosen head of state.

Another nominee, Henry Van Thio, is likely to become vice president.

The military, which controls a quarter of the legislature, will also nominate a candidate. After a vetting process, lawmakers will vote this month, and the president will be installed April 1.

In a statement issued hours before the nomination was revealed, Suu Kyi asked supporters to rally around the party’s decision. “I would like to appeal for

people to stand by the NLD with wisdom and farsightedness,” she said. “This is an important step in implementing the desires and expectations of voters who enthusiastically supported the NLD.” For months, Myanmar was abuzz with expectation that “The Lady,” as Suu Kyi is known here, would achieve the impossible: negotiate a deal with the military that would let her serve as president despite a constitutional provision barring her from the role.

Though closed-door talks failed to clear a path to power, Suu Kyi has vowed to rule Myanmar, formerly known as Burma,

by proxy from a position “above” the president. It is unclear what formal role Suu Kyi, 70, will play in the new government.

The army will still play a key role in government by retaining control of three ministries — Defense, Interior and Border Security — while wielding influence over Myanmar’s economy through military-owned conglomerates and businesses with close ties to outgoing President Thein Sein’s government.

Trump exiles, degrades and pens reporters v CONTINUED FROM 1B

agent after he stepped outside a media area to photograph protesters.

Trump has closed his rallies to reporters and news organizations he says have been unfair to him.

Those he does admit are grouped in pens, to which Trump directs the attention of his raucous crowds with comments such as “What slime!’’

To the distress of First Amendment advocates, Trump says he’d make it easier to sue journalists for libel: “If I become president, oh, do they have problems!’’

Every presidential campaign tries to manage media coverage, but the New York developer is breaking new ground. “I’ve never heard of any presidential candidate who talked about weakening First Amendment libel protections,” says Victor Pickard, author of America’s Battle for Media Democracy. “He’s taken attacking the press to a whole new level. It’s scary to think where this trajectory would take us.”

Scary, maybe; ironic, certainly.

Trump spends much of his time doing interviews; is on a firstname basis with many journalists; and (because he makes so much news and generates such high TV ratings) gets far more free media exposure than any other candidate. As former Obama adviser David Axelrod tweeted after Trump floated his libel proposal, “Talk about ingratitude!”

If anyone has a right to complain about news coverage, it would be Ben Carson, who was repeatedly snubbed by moderators at the GOP debates, or John Kasich, whose promises of competent governance don’t sell papers or goose the Nielsens.

Larry Schweikart, a conservative political historian who’s writing a book about the campaign, says Trump’s critics are too worked up about his alleged “war on the media.” He argues that Trump merely gives voice to popular resentment against powerful, unaccountable institutions: “People figure, ‘If we make a mistake, we have to pay for it.

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks to reporters after a debate at the Fox Theater March 3 in Detroit. dia’s bow, not a serious proposal: “There’s the good Donald and the bad Donald. It goes back to The Art of the Deal (Trump’s how-to business best-seller.) It’s a negotiation.’’

“It’s like working the refs,” Pickard says. As in sports, the hope is that a complaint now will yield more favorable treatment (or coverage) in the future.

‘SEDITIOUS’ JOURNALISM

As Schweikart suggests, The Donald vs. The Media is merely the latest round in a battle between politicians and journalists that goes back to the republic’s early years, when most publications were frankly partisan or party-owned.

Some papers called for the assassination of George Washington. His successor, John Adams, used the Sedition Act of 1798 (which made it a crime to “write, print, utter or publish, or assist in, any false, scandalous, and malicious writing against the government’’) to have editors arrested.

“If I become president, oh, do they have problems!’’

Donald Trump

Battle lines hardened in the 20th century during the rise of professional journalism, which promised non-partisan coverage. uIn the 1930s and 1940s, Franklin Roosevelt cracked down on radio commentator Father Charles Coughlin, who opposed U.S. entry into World War II. The administration fought attempts by newspaper chains to own radio stations in their markets. uIn the ’50s, Sen. Joe McCarthy targeted journalists and news organizations for supposed (and largely illusory) communist influence. He summoned to a hearing the editor of The New York Post, whom he suggested was a secret communist merely posing as an anti-communist. uIn the ’60s, Vice President Spiro Agnew led the Nixon ad-

ministration’s campaign against critical journalists and news organs — “nattering nabobs of negativism.’’

Unlike his predecessors, who attacked from the left (FDR) or the right (McCarthy, Agnew), Trump wages a two-front war. He attacks conservative voices — Fox News, the National Review — as well as the liberal New York Times and Washington Post.

Trump differs in his focus on individual journalists. He attacks them by name — not just TV personalities and famous pundits but working stiff reporters.

He even appeared to mock the physical disability of a reporter who contradicted his claim that thousands of Muslim Americans cheered the 9/11 attacks.

“It’s one thing to criticize the coverage. It’s another to pick on reporters,” says Roy Gutterman, director of Syracuse University’s Tully Center for Free Speech. “No reporter worth his salt hasn’t been attacked by a politician, but usually it’s at a press conference in front of 15 people, not in an arena in front of thousands of rabid supporters.”

Some at Trump rallies pick up on his cues, shouting insults at reporters or asking if they really work for Hillary Clinton.

Katy Tur of MSNBC, one Trump target, tweeted this description of a rally in Virginia: “Trump trashes press. Crowd jeers. Guy by press ‘pen’ looks at us & screams ‘you’re a bitch!’

Other gentleman gives cameras the double bird.”

Reporters may have reason to be nervous. Thursday, a man punched a protester being escorted out of a rally in North Carolina.

Schweikart says reporters are fair game for verbal criticism: “They’re filing the damn stories.

They’ve gotten away with that cover for too long.” Moreover, Trump’s is a useful technique: “If you put a name to it, it takes it out of just ‘the media’ and personalizes it. He did that with Megyn Kelly” the Fox News anchor with whom Trump sparred during and insulted after the first GOP debate.

Trump’s generalizations about the news media come when, in reality, it’s never been more frac-

tured and diverse. Agnew, in contrast, could describe the network broadcast news establishment as “no more than a dozen anchormen, commentators and executive producers (who) settle upon the 20 minutes of film and commentary that is to reach the public.’’

He deplored the “concentration of power over public opinion in fewer and fewer hands,” such as the Times and Post.

Which explains why Trump can ignore the adage “Never quarrel with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.” The metaphor is outdated in the Digital Age; Trump, figuratively speaking, is the one with the ink — media access, for which he pays nothing.

LIBEL VOW UNLIKELY

Even if a President Trump wanted to make it easier for public figures to win libel suits, it’s unlikely he’d succeed. uLibel is not controlled by federal statute. It’s a common law tradition modified by the Constitution’s First Amendment and codified by state laws. uThe legal issue was settled 50 years ago by a unanimous Supreme Court in New York Times v. Sullivan. A public figure suing for libel has a higher standard of proof — “actual malice,’’ which means knowing something was false or acting in “reckless disregard’’ of whether it was. uIt’s not a Mom or apple pie issue. Rolling back Times v. Sullivan would primarily benefit celebrities such as Trump (“We could win lots of money!’’), not the ordinary folk for whom he claims to speak. They already enjoy an easier burden of proof if they sue for libel.

Analysts are divided on what’s next. Syracuse’s Gutterman says he suspects Trump will drop the libel issue and “move on to some other beef.’’

Pickard is not so sanguine: “Even if he doesn’t return to it, we should believe he means it.’’

A final irony: Trump himself, who shouts, “Liar!’’ at his rivals, could benefit from First Amendment libel protections.

“You can’t have it both ways,” Gutterman says. If the libel laws were changed, Trump “might get sued as much as the news media.”

strike in August, the soldiers said.

Mortars made of metal pipes and more sophisticated 122mm Grad rockets carry the potentially deadly chemicals.

“With the chemical attack, it isn’t clear what is going to happen, what the harm will be,” Rasool said. “For me, it is more dangerous than a normal attack.”

Kurdish Cmdr. Mahadi Younis said he believed the weapons were manufactured in nearby Mosul, the Islamic State’s stronghold in Iraq. Although they were crudely made and have caused no known fatalities, Younis said the militants probably will make them more lethal.

MATTHEW VICKERY, USA TODAY

Ahmad Rasool, 21, a Kurdish soldier in Iraq, says he and other fighters came under a mustard gas attack from Islamic State militants in August.

“They are experimenting with new tactics and new ways of fighting us,” Younis said. “They use anything they have to survive without even considering the lives of civilians.”

Malik Ellahi, a spokesman for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the international group that monitors illegal use of such weapons, told USA TODAY that the repeated reports of Islamic State attacks are a “serious concern.” Ellahi said the OPCW recently sent a team of experts to work with the Iraqi government to investigate the use of chemical weapons.

Though the group confirmed that mustard gas has been used, it has yet to confirm recent reports that the militants are using chlorine. The alleged chlorine attacks include:

uOn Feb. 25, the Islamic State launched 19 rockets on Sinjar, a remote corner of northern Iraq where the militants had attempted to wipe out a community of the Yazidi religious sect. Nearly 200 people were treated for severe vomiting, nausea and headaches, according to local media reports and the Free Burma Rangers, a non-profit group of medics who work in the region. uOn March 2, the Tal Afar district near Sinjar was hit by at least six rockets that emitted a yellow smoke on impact. Three civilians, including two children, were hospitalized with nausea, vomiting and skin irritation, according to the International NGO Safety Organization, a British charity that supports the safety of aid workers. Taza, an Iraqi town near Kirkuk, experienced a similar attack on the same day, sending 40 people to Kirkuk General Hospital with similar conditions, the aid workers safety group said. uOn March 3, 20 rockets were fired at Keske Junction north of Mosul. Marwan Ahmad, 32, who lives in a small hamlet at the junction, described panicked scenes as the rockets rained down on the homes of civilians and the surrounding fields. He said only one rocket exploded, injuring a dozen people, while the other 19 were embedded in the ground.

Ahmad, who was in his house when the attack began, said one landed yards away. “I saw the smoke, and tears started running down my face. My skin was itchy.

It started to go red and bubbled up,” he said. Ahmad said he had to be taken to a hospital, and a cousin remains very ill from the attack.

Kurdish Lt. Muhammed Sabri said he fears the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, is turning increasingly to easy-toconceal chemical weapons as the militants lose ground to Kurdish fighters and Iraqi security forces aided by increased airstrikes conducted by a U.S.-led coalition.

Sabri said it is a sign of the militants’ desperation on the battlefield.

“Now we expect them (chemical attacks),” he said. “They have been weakened recently, and this is their response.”

No mere neighbors, U.S., Canada ‘closest of friends’ Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama welcomed the Canadian prime minister to the White House Thursday with the kind of warm welcome gentle ribbing one might reserve for a sibling.

“It’s long been said that you can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your neighbors.

Well, by virtue of geography, the United States and Canada are blessed to be neighbors, and by choice we are steadfast allies and the closest of friends,” Obama said in a ceremony on the south lawn of the White House, marking the beginning of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s state visit.

The visit, which will culminate in a state dinner Thursday, is the first such visit in 19 years. “It’s about time, eh?” Obama said.

He said the two countries don’t always express how much they value the relationship. “Our Canadian friends can be more reserved, more easygoing. We Americans can be a little louder, more boisterous and as a result we haven’t always conveyed how much we treasure our alliance and our ties,” he said. “We are

two different countries, but days like this remind us that we are like one big town.”

In a meeting Thursday morning, the two leaders were expected to discuss the substantive issues between the two countries: Security, trade, border crossings and climate change.

But at the ceremony, Obama focused on more superficial differences.

“There are issues that divide us: Whose beer is better, who’s better at hockey,” Obama said.

“Don’t get me started,” Trudeau said. “Where’s the Stanley Cup right now? I’m sorry, is it in my hometown with the Chicago Blackhawks? In case you Canadians were wondering,” Obama replied.

Trudeau emphasized the trade and the numerous Canadian exports to the U.S. “Speaking of exports, we know with certainty that there’s a high demand for Canadian goods down here,” he said. “A few that come to mind — that President Obama just rightly recognized as being extraordinary contributors to the American success story — is Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, and Patrick Sharp of the Chicago Blackhawks.”

President Obama welcomes Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House on Thursday.

Trump brags at GOP debate that he’s bringing in the voters

Front-runner calls for Republicans to “be smart and unify” behind him Jennifer Jacobs and David Jackson USA TODAY

Controversial front-runner Donald Trump said he’s attracting people who are “voting out of love,” even as he finds himself defending new accusations of violence among his supporters and facing criticism for praising authoritarian leaders.

“We’re taking people from the Democrat Party. We’re taking people as independents, and they’re all coming out and the whole world is talking about it. It’s very exciting,” he said at the start of a debate in Miami that was largely a civil affair but for a couple of minor exceptions. “The Republican establishment, or whatever you want to call it, should embrace what’s happening. ... Be smart and unify.”

Trump was looking to Thursday’s debate to anchor his lead in the GOP presidential race, while opponents Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich hoped to improve their position or simply survive.

Do-or-die pressure is building for the four remaining candidates. This was the 12th debate — and it was originally slated to be the last. But as full-blown resistance to a Trump nomination has MIAMI

CRAIG RUBADOUX, FLORIDA TODAY

From left, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich listen to the national anthem before the Republican debate at the University of Miami. broken out in some quarters of the party, GOP officials added another one, in Utah on March 21, when half of the delegates to national convention will have been awarded.

Trump has been the target of intense attacks during the last two debates, including by Rubio, who mocked the New York businessman for the size of his hands

and, with innuendo, about other parts of his anatomy. But Rubio expressed regret this week for the nature of some of his remarks.

Republican analysts believe the trash-talking insults hurt Rubio, a Florida U.S. senator, as much as Trump, and contributed to Rubio’s failure to win any state in the “Super Tuesday 2” primaries earlier this week.

CNN moderator Jake Tapper called for a “serious” debate, and the candidates did lower the volume. Without the shouting, spectators could hear their thoughts on immigration, trade, jobs, education, Israel, counterterrorism, and Social Security, a big issue in Florida.

“So far I cannot believe how civil it’s been up here,” Trump

said half an hour into the event.

Trump pledged to turn around the problem of decreasing worker wages, saying, “I think that’s why there has been such an outpouring of love to what I’m saying.”

But he was confronted during the debate for inciting violence at his rallies, by saying he wanted to punch a protester in the face and for telling the crowd to “knock the crap out of” another protester. On Wednesday, police in Fayetteville, N.C., arrested a 78-year-old man for punching a protester in the face as he was being escorted out of a Trump rally.

“I certainly do not condone that at all,” Trump said. But then he added: “We have some protesters who are bad dudes. ... They are really dangerous. They get in there and they start hitting people.”

Cruz, when asked if such scenes hurt the GOP for general election, said: “For every one of us, we need to show respect for the people. We need to remember who it is we’re working for.”

Rubio was smoother and more subdued in the past, but called out the fire-tongued Trump for his controversial rhetoric. “The problem is presidents can’t just say anything they want. It has consequences here and around the world,” Rubio said.

Trump, who has been accused of praising authoritarianism, said he thinks Russia’s Vladimir Putin is “a strong leader,” and China has a strong government, but that doesn’t mean he endorses what they do.

All the candidates supported the idea of sending in American troops to fight the Islamic State if military leaders recommended it, with Trump citing numbers of up to 20,000 to 30,000.

Just before the event began, Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus addressed the crowd, saying he wanted to clear up something: The party will support the eventual nominee — “whoever that is” — 100%.

In other words: The establishment would fully back Trump if he wins the nomination.

Authorities tackle backlog of rape evidence v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Governors, attorneys general and top state law enforcement officials in several states have taken actions independent of legislatures to reduce procedural obstacles to police submitting sexual assault evidence for testing.

Testing rape kits yields valuable DNA evidence that has been proved to help identify suspects, bolster prosecutions and in some cases exonerate the wrongly accused. A USA TODAY NETWORK investigation published in July identified more than 70,000 untested sexual assault kits in the custody of more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies in communities large and small, pointing to a national accumulation of untested kits that probably reaches well into the hundreds of thousands across the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies.

Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy. To reach us, contact Standards Editor Brent Jones at 800-8727073 or e-mail accuracy@usatoday.com.

Please indicate whether you’re responding to content online or in the newspaper.

Ilse Knecht, director of policy and advocacy for the Joyful Heart Foundation, a New York Citybased advocacy group, said state lawmakers are reacting to intensifying attention by journalists, advocates and some federal government leaders, as well as mounting evidence that testing all of the evidence kits helps solve crimes.

“It’s just this moment in time where all these factors are coming together and pushing awareness and creating this movement for reform,” she said.

Though some police departments and sheriff’s offices submit every single kit from a reported sexual assault for lab testing, other agencies test as few as two in 10 kits because of inconsistent state and local policies and a lack of national guidance, the USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found.

Florida state Rep. Janet Adkins said she began working on the state’s legislation in July last year after realizing Florida had no statutes dictating how the evidence was handled. The bill, which was unanimously passed by the state House last week and awaits Gov. Rick Scott’s signature, would require that rape kits be

Attorney General Loretta Lynch released guidelines against gender bias calling for timely analysis of rape kits.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott was sent a bill aimed at getting rape kits submitted for testing within 30 days.

submitted within 30 days for lab testing.

Since the start of an initiative in 2011 by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to begin processing untested rape kits, tests of 10,133 kits have resulted in 3,664 matches in the national DNA database and the indictment of 448 defendants in the Cleveland area alone.

In Detroit, testing of a backlog of almost 10,000 rape kits identi-

fied nearly 2,500 suspects, including more than 400 suspected serial rapists.

Idaho state Rep. Melissa Wintrow, speaking on the floor of the Legislature last month, explained to colleagues that her bill requiring the submission of rape kits for lab testing within 30 days would fill a void in state law.

“Currently, there are no statutes that address sexual assault

kit evidence collection in our state,” she said. “This bill would provide a consistent process to better support victims, law enforcement, health care facilities and the forensics laboratory.”

Legislation in Georgia, Oregon, Virginia and South Dakota that would set timelines or procedures for the submission of rape kits for testing has moved forward this year in one or both chambers of the legislatures.

The state-level changes fill a void left by the lack of federal standards on how sexual assault kits should be handled.

Though a federal law passed in 2013 mandated that the Justice Department develop and publish national protocols for processing forensic evidence from sexual assault cases by no later than September 2014, those protocols still have not been published.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch released in December 2015 new federal guidance aimed at preventing gender bias in police work, including a recommendation that law enforcement agencies develop guidelines for “ensuring that forensic medical exams, including ‘rape kits,’ are completed and analyzed in a timely manner.”

SENATE PASSES BIPARTISAN BILL TO BATTLE HEROIN

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill Thursday to help states and local governments fight Americans’ growing addiction to heroin and prescription painkillers — an epidemic that has caused drug

overdose to become the nation’s leading cause of accidental death.

Senators voted 94-1 to approve the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, which was sponsored by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

The bill authorizes the attorney general to provide grants to states, local governments and non-profit groups for programs to strengthen prescription drug monitoring, improve treatment for addicts, and expand prevention, education and law enforcement initiatives.

The bill still must be approved by the House.

The 8-year-old has been sick since birth and living for the past two years with grandparents Chris and Mark Burleton of Oakfield, Wis., so she can receive specialized care at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, about 60 miles to the southeast. Her parents and twin sister, Brookelynn, live in Oklahoma.

Natasha was born with prune belly syndrome, which can cause urinary tract disease and a need for kidney dialysis.

The girl and her grandmother have been traveling to Milwaukee three times a week so Natasha can receive dialysis, but she is in renal failure and soon will run out of options.

Natasha has been waiting for a donor kidney for years but often develops infections that bump her off the transplant list, Chris Burleton said.

Schmidt, a third-grade teacher, decided she could give Natasha a new option.

“It truly just came to me after I did a lot of thinking and praying,” Schmidt said. She was driving, so she pulled off the road and called her husband. “I told him, Rich, I want to give a student one of my kidneys.”

After Schmidt went through medical tests to confirm she was a match, she told Oakfield Elementary Principal Becky Doyle she would have to be off work for about eight weeks.

The two then came up with a plan to call Natasha’s grandmother into the school office and break the news to her in a special way.

Tech giant’s lawyer calls government brief ‘cheap shot’ Kevin Johnson and Jon Swartz USA TODAY

The Justice Department asserted Thursday that Apple has sought to advance “false” arguments that threaten privacy breaches on a massive scale in the tech giant’s opposition to a court order requiring the company to help the FBI gain access to the iPhone used by San WASHINGTON

Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook.

“The court’s order is modest,” Justice lawyers argued in the latest defense of a California federal magistrate decision. “It applies to a single iPhone, and it allows Apple to decide the least burdensome means of complying ... The order does not compel Apple to unlock other iPhones or to give the government a universal master key or back door.”

The Justice filing, which intensifies the rhetoric in an already pitched legal clash between privacy and national security interests, said Apple’s opposition is based on arguments that are “corrosive

of the very institutions that are best able to safeguard our liberty and our rights. Here, Apple deliberately raised technological barri-

ers that now stand between a lawful warrant and iPhone containing evidence related to the terrorist mass murder of 14 Americans,” the government argued. “Apple can be compelled to give aid. That is no lawless tyranny. Rather, it is ordered liberty vindicating the rule of law.”

Citing Apple’s estimates, the government said the required assistance could take as little as two weeks and involve as few as six of the company’s 100,000 employees working on the phone recovered shortly after the December mass shooting carried out by Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik. Both were killed after the

The company on Thursday announced plans to fund Be The First, a campaign that draws its colloquial inspiration from a goal to form the first generation of Americans to spurn tobacco.

The push comes more than a year after CVS stopped selling cigarettes.

In opposing the court order, Apple has argued that “no court has ever granted the government power to force companies like Apple to weaken its security systems.” The action, the company said, would carry the added financial impact of potentially harming the company’s reputation.

“This cheap shot brief surprises us,” Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell said in a conference call with reporters late Thursday.

“The tone of the brief reads like an indictment.”

Apple did not immediately comment Thursday. A hearing on the matter is set for March 22.

AUSTIN It has been three decades since the scrappy local music festival SXSW first launched with several hundred attendees, later adding film and tech sessions to its repertoire.

Today, South by Southwest is a behemoth: a sprawling, world-renown gathering of tech geeks, rock stars, filmmakers and onlookers that draws more than 80,000 participants to Austin each spring and thousands more to unofficial parties and concerts throughout the city, injecting more than $300 million into the local economy.

The 10-day interactive/film/ music gathering kicks off Friday with perhaps one of the biggest headliners of its 30-year existence: President Obama, followed by first lady Michelle Obama five days later. The Obamas will be the first sitting U.S. president and first lady to attend the gathering.

The president will sit down with Texas Tribune editor in chief Evan Smith for a conversation on civic engagement.

Michelle Obama will discuss her Let Girls Learn initiative, aimed at helping girls around the world attend and complete school.

Conference organizers had been in contact with the White House for years, but the timing never was right until now, said Hugh Forrest, director of the SXSW Interactive Festival. Obama, a tech-savvy president with active Facebook and Twitter accounts, is a natural fit for the conference, he said.

“One of the biggest things he wants to talk about is how digital creatives, geeks, entrepreneurs, founders should think about turning more of their attention to rebuilding and improving government,” Forrest said. “It’s a really compelling message for a SXSW audience.”

That’s a message the Obama administration has been drumming home as it walks the line between exhorting Silicon Valley to bring expertise to the government — evidenced in Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s call to techies to just come for six months — to tussling with it over encryption.

The “VR/AR Track” will offer a series of speakers and sessions exploring the growing field of virtual and augmented reality. Attendees will be able to tour the latest virtual-reality technologies in a hands-on “experience,” and speakers such as roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro will discuss robots’ impact on humans and the pros and cons of “geminoids” — a teleoperated android of an existing person. Welcome to the machine.

As it is throughout Silicon Valley, diversity — or the tech sector’s lack thereof — will get increased attention. Starting in 2014, tech giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon released employment statistics that showed women and minorities were greatly underrepresented in their employee ranks, particularly in leadership roles.

Though primarily a tech-music-film gathering, SXSW will not wholly escape the circus-like trappings of this year’s presidential elections. None of the candidates so far have announced their attendance, but various sessions will explore technology’s impact on the 2016 elections, including one Friday hosted by former CBS anchor Dan Rather.

“Convergence” again will be a buzzword at this year’s SXSW, as the lines between its interactive, film and music sections increasingly blur.

One of the more anticipated sessions will feature a conversation between Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams and filmmaker Andrew Jarecki (HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst). The session, dubbed “The Eyes of Robots and Murderers,” will delve into technological advances in storytelling but also explore the relevance of the human touch in movie making.

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama kick off the gathering Friday.

The U.S. dispute with Apple over whether the company should be forced to write new code to unlock a San Bernardino killer’s iPhone is likely to bubble up in conversations with this tech-heavy crowd.

The European Central Bank on Thursday trotted out more of its monetary-policy artillery in a bid to jump-start the eurozone’s sluggish economy and head off persistent deflation, but the impact will likely be more akin to a pellet gun, economists say.

While its new stimulus measures should have some positive effects, they don’t address the deeper capital problems that prevent the region’s banks from increasing lending and the need for more government spending.

“It will be a small net positive,” IHS Chief Economist Nariman Behravesh says.

The ECB cut its key deposit rate for banks further below zero, to -0.4% from -0.3%.

EPA That means banks must pay Draghi even more to park their money at the central bank — instead of earning interest, as they would in normal times — theoretically spurring them to lend more.

The ECB also increased its monthly bond purchases to 80 billion from 60 billion euros through March 2017, pumping more cash into the banking system and pushing down long-term interest rates. And the central bank cut its main rate on loans to banks to zero from 0.05% and offered a new round of longer-term loans that could allow banks to be paid to borrow money and lend it to consumers and businesses.

Those measures too are aimed at coaxing banks into opening the lending spigots and making borrowing dirt-cheap for customers.

“There is now a stronger incentive for banks to take up the” longer-term loans than a previous similar program, Barclays wrote to clients.

“The ECB delivered big time!”

IHS economist Howard Archer wrote in a research note.

Both the increased asset purchases and negative interest rates should also further weaken the euro, boosting the region’s exports, and prod investors to move money to stocks, lifting markets.

But monetary policy can only go so far. Eurozone banks still are heavily burdened by bad loans and short of capital, legacies of the 2008 financial crisis. As a result, lending is constrained.

More government spending would have a bigger impact, says Wells Fargo economist Jay Bryson. ECB chief Mario Draghi said he doesn’t anticipate further rate cuts, putting the onus on governments to jolt to an economy that slipped into deflation last month.

That’s “sending a signal to European politicians that they cannot sit idly by while the ECB does all the heavy lifting,” Bryson says.

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

The European Central Bank seemingly gave global investors everything they asked for on their stimulus wish list. But stocks went down. The euro went up.

And confusion resulted on Wall Street.

The ECB, led by Mario Draghi, pushed interest rates down even further into negative territory.

Depositors now have to pay the central bank 0.4% to park their cash there. The ECB’s goal is to make banks find better uses for their cash, namely lend it out to borrowers. The ECB also committed more funds to its monthly bond-purchase program, known as quantitative easing, upping purchases to 80 billion euros each month, up from 60 billion

euros. The ECB also cut other key interest rates and added highquality corporate bonds to its list of approved bonds it can buy.

All these stimulus moves were supposed to be a good thing for markets, as they are all designed to boost weak growth and elevate currently low levels of inflation.

But Draghi made one little miscue: He said it’s unlikely the ECB will lower rates from current levels. And the market did not take kindly to that idea.

Says Brian Hennessey, portfolio manager of the Dynamic Dividend Fund at Alpine Funds: “We think the negative market reaction is the much bigger story than the announcement of this ‘bazooka package.’ The significant selloff in European stocks following Draghi’s press conference tells us the market has begun to lose faith in the efficacy of QE in the eurozone.”

Revenue up, but profit continues to lag behind Q: Will Box ever make a dime?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors who bought shares of Box when they were first sold to the public are in the red. But so is the company — a trend expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Box, a provider of cloud-based computing services to other companies, launched its initial public offering in January 2015. Investors sent shares soaring 66% on their first day of trading from the offering price of $14 a share on optimism. It hasn’t been a profitable venture, though. Since then, shares of Box have lost roughly half their value from the first-day closing price and are trading below the offering price.

The cloud may be where computing is headed. Box’s revenue is increasing at a healthy clip. The company just reported 36% higher revenue during the quarter ended Jan. 31 of $85 million. Shares of Box rose 21 cents, or 1.7%, to $12.73 as quarterly revenue was 4% better than expected.

But Box isn’t making any money on the growth. During the January quarter, the company lost an adjusted 26 cents a share. Analysts are forecasting a loss in each of the next three years as well, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Most individual investors have no business investing in a company expected to lose money this long.

Yahoo adds two directors to board amid threat of proxy battle Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK Beleaguered Internet company Yahoo added two new directors to its slimmed-down board, a move that could help it defend itself against the threat of a shareholder-led board battle.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., company increased the board to nine directors from seven by adding a former banker and former telecom executive to its ranks. The two new directors — whose experience could help Yahoo assess acquisition offers — are Cather-

Yahoo President and CEO Marissa Mayer is under fire.

ine Friedman, a former Morgan Stanley executive, and Eric Brandt, former chief financial officer of Broadcom Corp.

The additions replace seats va-

cated in recent months by tech entrepreneur Max Levchin and brokerage founder Charles Schwab. The two longtime directors left the company as Yahoo’s board was grappling with unhappy shareholders and uncertainty over the company’s future.

By replacing the empty seats, Yahoo makes them less vulnerable to attack by shareholders such as hedge fund Starboard Value, which has threatened to campaign for seats when the board faces re-election this year. The deadline for nominating a dissenting candidates is this month.

Yahoo faces shareholder pres-

sure to sell its core Web assets, such as Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Mail, to the highest bidder. Potential suitors are expected to include telecom companies such as Verizon, which recently bought Yahoo competitor AOL. Failure to shop itself could result in an ugly and costly board battle.

“It appears that investors have lost all confidence in management and the board,” Starboard CEO Jeff Smith wrote in a scathing letter to the board in January.

“If the board is unwilling to accept the need for significant change, then an election contest may very well be needed.”

Amid pressure from shareholders, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has dropped her previous ambitions to grow the company and instead has said she will pursue a $400 million cost-cutting plan to simplify the company and reduce staff by about 15%. Such concessions were not enough for shareholders who wanted a quick sale to the highest bidder.

Mayer and the board have also said they are pursing a tax-free spinoff of the core Web assets from Yahoo’s massive stake in Chinese Internet company Alibaba. A spinoff would delay any sale by at least a year.

‘Creative Control’ taps into the malignant side of tech Brian Truitt USA TODAY

Benjamin Dickinson has had times in his life when he couldn’t escape his smartphone. It wakes him up in the morning and tempts him to watch videos and check texts in bed before he ventures out into the real world.

There’s a danger to being that tapped into technology, and with the sci-fi cautionary tale Creative Control (in theaters Friday in New York, Los Angeles and Austin, expanding nationwide March 18), Dickinson takes our need to be constantly plugged in to a next unfortunate level.

“It’s like nuclear power,” he says. “We can get energy from it and power our homes, or we can make bombs.”

Dickinson, a veteran of music videos for LCD Soundsystem and Q-Tip, wrote, directed and stars as David, a New York advertising executive working on a campaign for augmented-reality glasses.

Comedian/musician Reggie Watts (as himself ) is given free rein to express his creativity with the Augmenta device for marketing potential, but David experiments with it, too, creating a virtual version of his best pal’s girlfriend (Alexia Rasmussen).

David grows apart from his own love interest (Nora Zehetner) as he loses control of reality.

Themes of human nature and its frailty spoke to Watts, says the bandleader for The Late Late Show With James Corden.

“I’m always interested in how technology influences the way human beings behave, and also

MAGNOLIA PICTURES

David (Benjamin Dickinson) has a virtual world at his fingertips. how technology can essentially bring out or amplify the notoptimal attributes in people,” Watts says. “Technology is not a replacement for person-to-person experience. It’s a way to augment your life.”

Dickinson started writing Creative Control — which won a jury award at last year’s South by Southwest Film Festival — around the time Google Glass was announced in 2012.

He also had just gone through the breakup of a long-term relationship “negotiated largely over text,” he adds, and social media made it stranger and more painful. “It’s very easy to be mean. You could say things over text message that you would never say to somebody’s face.”

Dickinson also found inspiration in how much of people’s interpersonal lives are run through their devices. One of the first im-

ages that occurred to him for the film was of a couple having sex and the man picking up his phone for a selfie.

“That struck me as funny but also very poignant and weird, because sex is already pretty great,” Dickinson says. “When we look at something through our phones, it makes it more real or more salacious or more enjoyable.”

Dickinson acknowledges that he can’t be anti-technology — “That’d be like being against water or gravity” — but he has made some lifestyle changes. No devices are allowed in his bedroom, he isn’t on Facebook, and he bought an alarm clock and a wristwatch so he didn’t have to lean on his phone.

“I’m aware of the addictive quality, so I’m just trying to set up an environment where I can be a creature of habit in a way that’s not making me feel sad.”

Work underway on DoubleTree hotel Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A

multimillion-dollar remodeling project that involves making space for more freshbaked cookies: Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with tales from my kitchen remodeling project. But I do have news about the major renovation underway at the former Holiday Inn at 200 McDonald Drive.

The Holiday Inn — the largest hotel and convention site in Lawrence — is no longer a Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn sign was removed a few days ago and replaced with a simple one that reads “Lawrence Hotel & Convention Center.” But don’t get too attached to that catchy name. Soon enough the property will become a DoubleTree by Hilton, which is the hotel chain that gives out freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to its guests.

We reported on the planned change to a DoubleTree back in May. Hotel officials told me this week the DoubleTree deal is still very much going to happen, but the name change can’t occur until all the construction work at the property is complete.

“The Hilton officials won’t bless it until we show them that we are at a Hilton quality, and we definitely will be,” said Stephen Horton, general manager of the hotel.

The hotel has pulled

Courtesy of the Lawrence Hotel & Convention Center

A RENDERING of a hotel room at the DoubleTree by Hilton, 200 McDonald Drive. building permits for $1.45 million worth of renovations at the site thus far. Currently 128 rooms in the 192-room hotel are closed as part of the remodeling process. Hotel officials weren’t ready to say yet when the hotel will fully reopen.

Work is well underway on the project, though. Here are some details: l The project when complete will continue to have 192 rooms. But 70 of the rooms will be made larger. Interior rooms on the second, third and fourth floors will be expanded by 70 square feet each, which will allow for couches and a greater living room area.

The hotel also will expand its number of suites to four, up from one today. l Perhaps you remember the old Holidome lobby, which featured lots of plants, an indoor pool and a miniature golf course.

(With that combination, you would have thought the golf balls would have floated and swimmers would understand ‘fore,’ but neither was the case.) Well, the pool remains, but the plants and golf course are gone. The new lobby will sport a whole new design, featuring lots of natural stone and many seating areas to accommodate small meetings. l A portion of the lobby space will be devoted to a Made Market, a DoubleTree concept that sells lots of ready-to-eat meals, convenience items and other such merchandise that travelers may need, said Heather Shull, director of sales for the Lawrence hotel. l The remodel will include a new breakfast bar area for hotel guests, but the hotel’s existing Boulevard Grill will remain open.

Community leaders will be watching the DoubleTree

project, in part, because the hotel plays a large role in attracting lucrative conventions and conferences to town. The renovations don’t include adding significant new convention space to the property, but will include updates to the existing space.

Shull said the hotel will continue to have a little more than 18,000 square feet of convention and meeting space. She said it is being updated with new carpeting, wall coverings, new ceilings, more modern lighting and other technology upgrades.

Shull said the renovation project is giving the hotel a big opportunity to win new convention business for the community.

“We are really reaching out to business that we had years ago,” Shull said of the associations and other such groups that host annual

conferences across the state.

“We’re telling them that what we’re creating here is much different than what they previously experienced with us.

Lawrence is such a fun town that we ought to have a lot of convention business. We just have to get the associations to consider moving some of their events out of Topeka and Kansas City.”

Shull said the facilities can easily host meetings of more than 350 people, banquets of 650 or more, and theaterstyle events upwards of 1,000 people.

“It definitely will help our meeting and convention business,” Shull said of the renovation and DoubleTree Brand. “Actually, we think that business is going to skyrocket.”

Tips for a successful real estate auction

L

ooking to buy a house? A real estate auction might be the ideal solution. By doing a little homework in advance, a buyer can get a great deal on auction property.

Not all auctioned real estate is distressed or foreclosed properties. Some are being sold because the owner has died and the estate has authorized the sale. Others are on the auction block because the owner needs to sell by a specific date, such as in the case of job relocation.

There are three types of real estate auctions. One is an absolute auction, where the property is sold to the highest bidder, no matter what the final price.

Another style is a minimum opening bid auction, where the bidding starts at a set price and goes from there. Then there is an auction where the seller reserves the right to say yes or no to the highest bid.

Before going to an auction there are steps you need to take to be prepared. First, contact your lender. You will need a letter showing you have secured financing to register for the auction. The letter will state the amount for which you are approved for a specific period of time.

Next, attend the auction previews. These take place in the weeks leading to the auction and allow you to look over the property, ask questions, and go through the full terms of the sale. Be sure to ask what the minimum starting bid will be.

After the preview, do your homework. Check out the neighborhood to get a sense of the property values in the area. If you plan to make improvements to the property, look into the cost. This will help you know the price to set for your maximum bidding limit so the excitement of the auction won’t entice

you into bidding higher than you planned.

Auction properties are sold “as is,” so if you want an inspection done on the property, it will need to take place before the auction. The seller will not make any repairs to the condition of the property unless specifically noted ahead of the sale.

Also, have a down payment ready. If you’re the winning bidder, you will need to make a down payment, either with cash or a cashier’s check. Typically the amount is 10 percent of the sale price (check with the auction company.) Have the cashier’s check made out to you so you can return it to the bank should you not get the property. This payment is nonrefundable unless the seller is unable to close on the sale.

Finally, know what you will be responsible for after the sale. If there are outstanding liens, taxes, or other legal issues with the property, you may be responsible for paying them.

Have a title search done to look for any attached financial obligations.

Bragg helps KU skate past State

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas University freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. and his roommate, Lagerald Vick, have a way of relieving stress every Sunday night.

They spend at least a couple hours roller skating at Winnwood Skate Center in Kansas City, Mo. “It’s always packed. It’s a lot of fun. We take a lot of pictures (with fellow skaters). They teach me how to skate a little bit, roller skate with us. It’s just a fun activity,” Bragg, KU’s 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward from Cleveland, said Thursday after putting on quite a show playing basketball in Sprint

Kansas City, Mo. — Nothing lasts forever.

One of these decades, Bill Self will retire, an athletic director will botch the hire, and the once-proud Kansas University basketball program will have to cobble together a backcourt out of one player who committed to Towson, another to Appalachian State. And what will come of the Jayhawks then?

Wait, that’s right, Frank Mason III originally committed to Towson, Devonté Graham to Appalachian State. They both found their way to Kansas to start their careers, and they have developed into one of the top handful of backcourts in the nation.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

“The reality is, when Devonté and Frank play well, they drive us more than anybody else,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

Both played exceptionally well Thursday in KU’s 85-63 blowout of Kansas State in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal played in Sprint Center.

Experienced Lions dodge upset

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Wichita — There’s no way to put a price on state tournament experience.

Lawrence High seniors Price Morgan and Justin Roberts returned from last year’s starting lineup, and they carried their boys basketball team back into the state semifinals Thursday.

The duo combined for 40 points in a 55-46 victory against Dodge City in the first round of the Class 6A state tournament at Wichita State’s Koch Arena. It’s the 14th time the Lions have advanced to the Final Four.

The top-seeded Lions (212) will face fourth-seeded Wichita Southeast (19-4) in the semifinals at 4:45 SEMIS p.m. today.

It took Who: Lawtime for the rence (21-2) Lions to vs. Wichita solve Dodge Southeast City’s 3-2 (19-4) zone de- When: 4:45 fense, which p.m. today prevented driving lanes. The Lions turned to the 6-foot-4 Morgan in the post, and he delivered 17 points in the first half, including 13 in the second quarter.

Morgan, who had a game-

high 22 points on 8-of-9 shooting, has scored at least 15 points in the past eight games, using his strength to frustrate opponents near the rim and his shooting touch to score from the elbow or baseline.

“I just got in there early and got a couple of shots off of the glass,” Morgan said.

“Just mentally seeing the ball go through the hoop.

Free throws, those were falling for me. And, I mean, the guys did a great job of finding me whenever I was open.”

In the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lions turned a four-point lead into

a 52-37 advantage, scoring on five of their first seven possessions. Junior guard Jackson Mallory scored five points in the spurt, Roberts added four points, and junior Braden Solko pumpfaked his way to an open layup.

With the offense in rhythm, Lawrence’s defense tightened up. The Lions held eighth-seeded Dodge City (12-11) scoreless for more than four minutes midway through the fourth quarter, forcing seven straight missed shots.

“We just wanted to do

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — Even hitting into a triple play did not slow down the World Series champion Kansas City Royals.

The White Sox turned Tony Cruz’s fifth-inning liner into three outs, and Drew Butera hit an inside-the-park home run that capped the Royals’ sevenrun seventh inning Thursday in a 9-2 win over a Chicago White Sox split squad.

With men on first and second against Scott Carroll in the fifth, the runners went on the pitch, and Cruz lined out to Jason Coats. The non-roster left fielder threw to shortstop Jimmy Rollins to double up Reymond Fuentes at second, and Rollins threw to first baseman Mike Olt before Dusty Coleman could get back to the base.

Matt Davidson and Brett Lawrie homered for Chicago.

Ian Kennedy gave up two hits in three innings, including Davidson’s homer. White Sox starter Carson Fulmer allowed one run and two hits in 21⁄3 innings.

Danny Duffy, another Royals starter, pitched three innings in relief of Kennedy and picked up the victory. Butera, Jorge Bonifacio and Orlando Calixte drove in two runs each during the Royals’ seven-run seventh, in which Chicago made two errors.

Injured Chalmers finished Memphis, Tenn. (ap) — Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his right Achilles tendon, and Memphis waived the veteran to clear up a much-needed spot on the roster.

The Grizzlies announced both the severity of Chalmers’ injury and the roster move Thursday night.

“He has been an important part of our success this season, both coming off the bench and when called upon as a starter,” general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement posted on the team website. “But with Mario’s season-ending injury and our already depleted roster, it became necessary to free up a roster spot.”

Chalmers was hurt with 6:57 left in the third quarter Wednesday night in Boston with the Grizzlies down 64-61 in what wound up a 116-96 loss.

He was taken out of the locker room in a wheelchair.

Central Plains ends Seabury’s season

By Mike Strauss Special to the Journal-World

Manhattan — The state basketball tournament draw was not friendly for a Bishop Seabury basketball team making its first trip to the final eight since 2012. The Seahawks, who entered their first state tournament game in four years with a school-record 18-3 mark, drew undefeated Central Plains, which proved why it is now 24-0 and in the semifinals of the Class 2A bracket.

Using an overwhelming advantage at the freethrow line and hitting almost every other shot they attempted in Kansas State’s Bramlage Coliseum, the second-seeded, se-

nior-laden Oilers defeated a young Seabury team, 7756, Thursday night.

For Seabury, which features just one senior who plays significant minutes, it was a difficult way to end a season, in which its previous three losses this year were by two, nine and one point.

Cold stretches on offense and constant fouling on defense helped this game get out of hand early.

“I think a lot of people sold us short going in, and I think we did, too,” Seahawk senior Thomas Uhler said. “It was all of our first time at state with the lights and everything.

It didn’t scare us, but it was definitely a different feel.”

Central Plains got Seabury out of its zone

defense late in the first quarter by drilling three three-pointers, while also working inside for four easy buckets to post a 19-9 lead after one period.

Seabury’s switch to a man-to-man defense did nothing to slow down the Oilers, as the Seahawks were whistled for 14 fouls in the first half. Central Plains took advantage of Seabury’s defensive issues and drained 20 of 22 free throws in the first 16 minutes. In fact, 20 of Central Plains’ 24 secondquarter points came at the free-throw line as it built a 43-23 halftime advantage behind a 17-3 run late in the period.

“They are a hard team to guard because they are so deliberate and patient,

and I guess they are masters at getting people in foul trouble,” Seabury coach Ashley Battles said.

“We talk about being a half step faster on defense, and as slow and deliberate as they are, somehow they find a way to keep you a half step slow. They are one of the best-coached teams I have ever seen.”

For the night, Central Plains made 32 of 38 free throws. The Oilers also made 21 of 31 shots from the floor, including 18 of 22 from inside the threepoint line. Seabury shot just 43.5 percent for the game and made just seven of 18 free throws.

Mikey Wycoff led Seabury with 21 points, while Bansi King added 11. Central Plains was led by Mi-

chael Ryan, who hit 13 of 15 free throws en route to 24 points, and Jacob Warnken, who had 20 points, including eight of 10 free throws.

Uhler closed out his career with a game-high six rebounds. He said qualifying for state was his goal, but explained his team should have reached higher.

“This was our goal going in, and that is my fault,” he said. “I got everybody together at the end of last year and said, ‘Next year, we are going to go to state.’ I sold us short.

I should have known from the beginning we could do this, and we accomplished my start-of-the-season goal, but I know we could have done more.”

all in all, it was a good game.”

With Morgan and Roberts doing most of the scoring, Mallory had a game-high eight rebounds and five steals, and senior Fred Brou added three blocks.

The Lions were just happy to advance, celebrating with their student section after the final buzzer.

“You should be able to enjoy it a little bit more, but I’ll be honest with you, it’s just more relief,” Lewis said. “Had a lot of friends say, ‘Enjoy the moment.’ We’re trying to enjoy the moment, but it’s a relief to just get that one out of the way.”

what we could to finish it off right then and there,” Morgan said. “I felt like we did a great job of talking and just boxing out.”

After Dodge City took a four-point lead in the second quarter, Roberts started a 12-0 run with a three-pointer from the top of the arc. Morgan scored seven points in the stretch, converting on one layup-and-the-foul bucket.

The Lions never found complete comfort against the zone defense, shooting 3-of-15 from behind the three-point line. But in the state tournament, it’s not about the prettiest game. It’s just finding a way to win.

“We sputtered a little bit,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “But, overall, I thought our guys were pretty good, just not great.”

Roberts helped the Lions to a quick start, scoring on a transition layup and drilling a three-pointer in the first two min-

Salina — In the beginning, it looked like expectations might be defied.

Eudora High’s Mitchell Ballock, standing 6-foot5, lined up for the tip against Bishop Miege’s Bol Bol, a 6-11 standout and son of former NBA player Manute Bol. Ballock won the tip, and a badly outsized Eudora High won the first half.

Then the second half came, and Bol Bol became double trouble for Eudora — scoring from both inside and out — and Miege defeated the Cardinals, 5549, in the opening round of the 4-A Division I state tournament Thursday.

“They are really, really good,” Eudora coach Kyle Deterding said of Bishop Miege, which brought a 16game win streak into the game. “We played about as well as we can play, if you take shots out of the game.

“Our kids battled their tails off. There was just a little stretch there that (Bishop Miege) won.”

That stretch was sparked by Bol, who as a sophomore is one of the highest-rated recruits in the country for the class of 2018. At the 6:50 mark in the third quarter, Bol drove the basket, drew the foul, finished with an underhanded scoop and knocked down a free throw to tie the score at 25. Then Bol cleaned up an offensive rebound with a two-handed dunk to give Bishop Miege the lead. At the 5:01 mark, Bol drained a three, and on the defensive end blocked a shot that led to a fast break that put Bishop Miege up 32-29.

Eudora stayed close the rest of the way but never overtook Bishop Miege. Ballock, a junior

Baldwin falls short in upset bid at state

By Mack McClure Special to the Journal-World

Emporia — Upstart and heavy underdog Baldwin High had an upset on its mind Thursday afternoon at White Auditorium.

Trouble was, the unheralded No. 8-seeded Bulldogs were taking on the unbeaten, top-ranked and top-seeded Girard Trojans in an openinground game of the Class 4A Division-II boys state basketball tournament.

Girard was able to squash Baldwin’s upset bid early, building a 20-point lead by halftime en route to throttling the young Bulldogs, 77-49.

The Trojans (23-0) advanced to today’s semifinal at 4:45 p.m., while Baldwin finished 7-16. “(Girard) is in the state

tournament, I think, for the third straight year,” Baldwin coach Paul Musselman said. “Most of (Girard’s) key players, they have six seniors in their rotation, and they have four-year starters.

“They’re now 41-3 in the last three years, and that’s totally the difference.”

A major factor was Girard’s Drew Davied, a 6-foot-6 senior forward with a flair for a coastto-coast brand of play.

He made nine of 13 field goals — including a trio of resounding breakaway dunks — and finished with a game-high 22 points.

Davied also added a team-high seven rebounds and had four steals, two of which he stripped the ball and then took off downcourt for a dunk.

“On both of those, two or three, we threw it to (Davied on turnovers),” Musselman said. “He’s a 6-10 or 7-foot high jumper, so he gets up there in a hurry.”

Musselman said Davied’s dunks seized the momentum for Girard, which it refused to relinquish. It stretched a 23-10 first-quarter lead to 38-18 at halftime and 55-32 after three periods.

Girard, which finished the night shooting 51.9 percent from the field (27 for 52), had a decided edge underneath the backboards at 46-19 on rebounds. It also limited Baldwin to only 36-percent shooting (18 for 50).

Forward Kross Hamblin had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, one of three

Trojans to finish with 10 points. Laike Damman and Eric Wilson each also scored 10.

Senior shooting guard Austin Ward led Baldwin with 11 points, and senior guard Jackson Barth had 10 points and six assists.

Sophomore post player Kyle Norris added nine points.

Ward’s three-point goal only 22 seconds into the game gave the Bulldogs their only lead at 3-2 before Girard quickly went ahead with a 10-0 run for a 12-3 edge at the 4:18 mark in the opening quarter.

When Ward broke Baldwin’s scoring drought on a floater in the lane to make it 12-5, 31⁄2 minutes had elapsed, a telltale indication of its lack of offensive production throughout.

Ballock had 14 points and seven rebounds in the first half, as Eudora led 22-20 at the break.

Eudora senior Austin Downing pulled the Cardinals within three with a driving bucket and a made free throw with 51 seconds left in the game. But Bishop Miege kept Eudora in foul trouble the entire second half and sealed the game at the free-throw line in the last minute.

Eudora finished its season at 16-7 and made its second trip to the state tournament in the last three seasons.

KANSAS GUARD BRANNEN GREENE (14) and Kansas State guard Brian Rohleder chase a possession.

Veterans wow Wildcat Wade

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — In three games against Kansas University this season, Kansas State freshman/Sunflower State native Dean Wade averaged 3.7 points on 3-of-11 shooting in 23 minutes.

In the other 30 games he played, Wade’s numbers tripled to 11 points per outing on 45-percent shooting and included 16 games in double figures.

To say the Jayhawks were a thorn in the side of the freshman from St. John (located between Wichita and Dodge City) is an understatement.

For Wade, playing Kansas was like biting into that rotten chunk of stem that comes in every bag of sunflower seeds. And after finishing with five points on 1-of-7 shooting during KU’s 85-63 victory on Thursday at Sprint Center, the freshman explained why.

“I think it’s just their veterans,” the 6-foot10, 225-pound forward said of Kansas (28-4).

“They’ve been war-tested for the past four years, they know the ins and outs of the game, and they play hard all the time.”

Even for some of college basketball’s best players, KU’s onslaught can be a bit overwhelming. But for a young player still making the adjustment from Class 2A Kansas high school ball to life in the Big 12, it can be downright maddening.

“It seems like they always are one step ahead of you,” Wade said.

“Even when you’re on offense, they’re one step ahead of you on defense.

And on offense, they’re always setting you up for something. They’re just more prepared. They

just know what’s going to happen.”

That certainly was the case again in the Big 12 quarterfinal, when Wade struggled to find much room to work, air-balled his first shot attempt and seemed to slam into a white jersey no matter where he turned. More often than not, that white jersey belonged to KU senior Perry Ellis, whom Wade had nothing but praise for after his third meeting with the Wichita native.

“He’s a phenomenal player, somebody I’ve gotta learn from,” Wade said of Ellis. “Just watch him play and do what he does. He’s just a great allaround player.”

Although emulating an All-Big 12 talent like Ellis might be a lofty aspiration, K-State senior Stephen Hurt said Wade should continue to chase that goal.

“They have very similar games,” Hurt said.

“Both of ’em being Kansas kids, they’re almost identical. That’s a great mold for Dean to follow. ... Dean’s a great player, and he has a bright future. But he’s a freshman, and you can’t expect him to be at top level all the time. He’s still learning.”

K-State coach Bruce Weber, who has not tried Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos to hide his countdown to KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD PERRY ELLIS (34) DELIVERS A DUNK in front of Kansas State forward Dean Wade during the day that Ellis finally the first half of KU’s 85-63 victory Thursday at Sprint Center. leaves Big 12 basketball, said his team ran into a buzzsaw Thursday.

He had not scored more than six points in a game in the last 13 contests.

“It helps me with my footwork, balancing,” Bragg said of his weekly skating excursions. “You can get a little conditioning, in too.

“You sweat a lot,” added Bragg, who can do a 360 on roller skates. “We pretty much do it every week unless we have practice.”

The 6-foot-5 Vick — he missed two shots while playing three minutes in a rout that propelled KU into today’s 6 p.m. tourney semifinal versus Baylor (22-10) — concedes that the Jayhawks are a big deal Sundays in K.C. “Fans speak to us, look at us like we are the next big thing up,” Vick said.

“We get there and have fun. Sometimes it’s slowmotion. Sometimes we go for speed. It depends on the music. Its pretty serious. It’s packed every time.”

Bragg also draws quite

“I like to be myself making my own music,” said Bragg, who grinned when asked if he was the most well-rounded player in KU hoops annals.

“I won’t say in history, probably on (this) Kansas team. I wish, though.”

Smiling through his postgame interview duties, Bragg had the bench celebrating on his two three-pointers.

“There was a lot of excitement, especially when

Carlton hit those threes.

Everybody was kind of shocked,” Vick said.

Bragg, who has hit four of seven threes this season for KU (28-4), was asked if he has been given the green light by coach Bill Self.

“I don’t want to say green,” Bragg said, “but he tells me, ‘When you are open, shoot it.’ So pretty much, yes, you could say that. I felt comfortable with it today and just let it fly. When I made my first one (to give KU 2311 lead), Jamari (Traylor, six points, four rebounds,

two blocks) said, ‘Keep shooting it. Let it fly. We have no pressure.’ He gave me confidence to keep shooting it more.

“I came out of my comfort zone a little bit today,” Bragg added. “Pick and pop, I tried to extend my range. Making shots tonight ... it was good for us.”

Bragg also has been inspired by the “Made in March” T-shirts the team wore during warmpus.

“This is where you are made. Made in March.

People are made in March,” Bragg said. “People come in and can make a little play or big play.

Someone comes in and gets a loose ball. It can change the whole momentum of the game.”

Self, who said Bragg would have played more than 11 minutes had he not been in foul trouble — indeed, he fouled out — teased the easy-going player on the big stage in the interview room.

“This is Carlton’s first time in the interview room,” Self said, “and he may be a little nervous.

And I told him most guys that come in here get more than zero rebounds.”

He drew a blank on the boards.

“He has shot the ball well in practice of late,” Self said. “He had a day in practice not too long ago where he shot it like that, and it kind of gave him some confidence.

He’s been kind of the odd man out, unfortunately, because he is not really a true center, and Jamari has been good for us, and of course, Perry (Ellis, 21 points, six boards) has got to play a ton of minutes. But he responded today, and you guys can see he is a talented kid, very skilled.”

And very versatile ... his piano playing and roller skating prowess proof of that.

Have he and Vick been able to convince other KU players to roller skate?

Uh ... no.

“I have not been (skating). I’ve been invited,” junior Tyler Self said with a smile. “I’m not that big a fan of roller skating. Maybe it works for them. I don’t know if it does for me. I think they enjoy it, though. I think about everybody on campus knows Carlton roller blades or roller skates.”

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — It sure looks as if Kansas University’s basketball team (28-4) has wrapped up the overall No. 1 seed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament entering today’s Big 12 semifinal versus Baylor (22-10) in Sprint Center.

The likelihood of that made some media members wonder Thursday whether the Jayhawks have a deep desire to win today’s 6 p.m. contest against BU, as well as Saturday’s title game.

“Sure. You are here.

You always want to win,” KU coach Bill Self stressed after an impressive 85-63 quarterfinal victory over Kansas State.

KU pounded Baylor, 102-74, on Jan. 2 in Allen Fieldhouse and also won, 66-60, on Feb. 23, in Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. The Jayhawks have beaten Baylor seven times in a row, but lost to the Bears two of the last three times they’ve met in the Big 12 tourney.

“We played them last year in the tournament in a really low-scoring game and eked out a win,” Self said of a 62-52 semifinal victory. “We played them this year the first time, and we were as good as we’ve been all year. The second time it was basically a one-possession game, and we made some good plays late that allowed us to win.

“Their zone has always given us problems.

It gives everybody prob-

With the short turnaround, I hope we’re prepared to do a much better job against them.”

Of Baylor, guard Frank Mason III (16 points, seven assists vs. KSU) said: “They have a lot of length on the wings and have some great athletes, good coaching staff and play a good 2-3 zone, extended 2-3 zone. It was great to get a chance to play against that a little bit today so we can have a little bit of advantage tomorrow.”

Baylor beat KU, 81-72, in the 2012 Big 12 tourney and again, 71-64, in 2009.

“Their defense,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said of what makes KU so difficult to beat. “I think that’s been consistent, and that’s why they’ve been where they’ve been at. And I think a couple of years past they had some teams that were mostly on the offensive end, but

didn’t consistently guard as well as this team is doing, and they really make you work for everything.” l

Diallo has three stitches: KU freshman forward Cheick Diallo did not play against Kansas State. He took an accidental elbow from Svi Mykhailiuk in practice Wednesday and had a three-stitch cut on the inside of his mouth.

His mouth was swollen Thursday.

“He got hit in practice.

He had to leave practice to get stitches,” Self said.

“The swelling has gone down. This morning it was really out there.

He could have played. I thought if he got hit it’d knock him out for at least the rest of the deal (tournament). Hopefully the swelling will go down and he’ll have more confidence being out there tomorrow.”

Diallo said: “It’s OK. I’ve taken a lot of medicine (for pain). Of course

Clyde’s passing: Self on Clyde Lovellette, who died Wednesday: “I had the opportunity to speak with Clyde, I believe it was Friday.

He and his daughter. Of course, I didn’t see him play (in 1950s) and all these things. But you know, at one time, you can review it as the two best big men in the world (played at KU). And certainly it’s a loss. But when you really break it down, Olympic champion, national champion, leading scorer in the country, a great pro and probably did as much as a pioneer in the game to create interest and things like that as just about anybody else did. It’s certainly a loss, but I hope all Kansas fans look back and appreciate the significance in what he’s done for not only himself, his family, but also our school.” l

Minutes: Nine Jayhawks played 10 or more minutes vs. K-State.

“I still played guys too many (minutes),” he said.

“It’s hard to take those two little guys (Mason, 32 minutes; Devonté Graham, 34 minutes) out. They don’t get tired that often. I tried to manage it more today. I wanted Carlton (Bragg Jr., 11 minutes) to play more.

If Carlton hadn’t fouled out, and Jamari (Traylor, 14 minutes) not been in foul trouble, they’d have played more.”

ing lanes, get steals, find the open man and knock down open shots.”

As the season has progressed, Graham increasingly has made opposing guards pay for timid play, unsure passes.

“It’s just anticipating them, reading a person’s eyes and knowing where you think that next pass is going to go,” Graham said. “Coach always stresses, get up in the passing lanes, deny, all that kind of stuff.”

Kansas will have a chance to tidy up its zone offense today against Baylor. An ex-

perienced backcourt is so key in picking apart zones.

“It helps when you know where guys should be on the court, you know the spots that are going to be open on the zone,” Graham said. “As a young guy, you might not know where to attack the zone or know the things you need to do to get the ball to the spots that are open on the zone.”

If Kansas faces a zone in the NCAA Tournament, attacking Baylor’s today will serve as valuable preparation.

No. 6 Oklahoma 79, No. 21 Iowa State 76 Kansas City, Mo. — Buddy Hield scored 39 points, Ryan Spangler made a series of critical plays down the stretch, and Oklahoma beat Iowa State in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals.

Spangler finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds, and Isaiah Cousins also had 10 points for the third-seeded Sooners (24-6).

Georges Niang matched a career-high with 31 points for the sixth-seeded Cyclones (21-11), who trailed by 14 midway through the second half before making it a game. But after squandering several chances to get within a possession, it wasn’t until Deonte Burton’s three at the buzzer that they finally did.
