KU touts master plan as ‘most ambitious’ in school’s history

By Ben Unglesbee Twitter: @LJW_KU

Kansas University’s master plan took more than a year to create, less than a week to unveil and will take a decade to implement, assuming all the university’s hopes come to pass and that it can raise the millions necessary to carry out development projects.

At a campus forum on Friday at Spooner Hall, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said dozens of meetings and focus groups, as well as public forums like Friday’s, went into drawing up designs and concepts. Friday’s event followed a presentation of the plan to the Kansas Board of Regents earlier in the week.

On Friday Gray-Little called the plan “the most comprehensive and, I would suggest, the most ambitious” master plan the uniGray-Little versity has produced.

It’s also the first master plan generated since 1997 and only the fifth since 1907. This one aims to be a “living document,” updated every one or two years.

That could make life easier for campus planners in the future. Barry Swanson, associate vice provost of campus operations and chair of the master plan steering committee, said

The Lawrence Community Shelter kitchen manager who was stabbed in the throat Thursday and treated for life-threatening injuries was released from a Kansas City-area trauma center Friday and even returned to the shelter on his way home, according to the shelter’s director.

Also Friday, the Douglas COURTS County District Attorney’s Office charged a 21-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man with attempted first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing. Christopher Jamond George McKay appeared via video conference from Douglas County Jail to hear the charge, and a judge set his bond at $750,000. McKay’s next court appearance is March 25.

The genesis of this plan, he said, “is the beginning of a never-ending process.”

Many of the projects the plan outlines are still gleams in the eyes of top KU administrators; others are closer at hand.

Kansas school finance ruling deemed a ‘credit negative’

Moody’s Investors Service said this week that the Kansas Supreme Court’s ruling in a school finance case last week casts a negative outlook on the state’s credit rating.

After 37 years on lam, killer caught in Florida Deerfield Beach, Fla. (ap) — In the nearly 40 years after he escaped from the maximum-security military prison at Fort Leavenworth, convicted killer James Robert Jones carved out a new life for himself in Florida, living under an assumed Jones name, getting married and working for an air conditioning company.

It all came to an end this week when Jones — or Bruce Walter Keith, as the former Army private was known in Florida — was recaptured with the help of technology that was more sci-fi than reality when he broke out during the disco era: facial-recognition software.

“The first words out of his mouth were, ‘I knew this would catch up with me someday,’” said Barry Golden, a senior inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service, on Friday.

Jones, 59, was one of the Army’s 15 most-wanted fugitives after his 1977

escape from the Kansas prison dubbed “The Castle” for its large walls and tower keeps.

He was convicted of murder and assault in the 1974 killing of a fellow soldier at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

According to the archives of The Times of Trenton, N.J., Jones, who is originally from Ontario, Calif., was found guilty in the stabbing death of Lonnie Eaton, 18, and the wounding of another man. Police at the time said Eaton and a friend were walking back to the base from a bar when they were attacked by three men with knives after one approached and asked if they had any marijuana to sell.

Jones was serving a 23year sentence when he escaped.

The marshals caught up with Jones on Thursday after using facial-recognition technology to match a Florida driver’s license he was issued in 1981 in Keith’s name with his old military photograph.

Jones was arrested outside the Pompano Beach business where he worked.

Lawrence legislators urge state to OK med funding

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Topeka — A Lawrence legislator said Friday that failure by the Legislature to help Kansas University build a new medical education building will have a negative impact on the health of Kansans.

“If we are putting our KU Medical Center at risk, then we are putting our KU Cancer Center at risk,” state Rep. Barbara Ballard said. “If you’re doing that, you are hurting the whole state and the people who are depending on us.”

Ballard, a Democrat, made her comments beBallard fore about 30 people attending the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s legislative update, held at Maceli’s Banquet Hall & Catering, 1031 New Hampshire St. Also speaking were state Sens. Marci Francis-

co and Tom Holland, and state Rep. John Wilson, all Democrats. House Democratic Leader Paul Davis and state Rep. Tom Sloan, a Republican, weren’t able to attend because of scheduling conflicts, chamber officials said.

Earlier this week, the Senate Ways and Means Committee approved a capital improvement plan that excluded funding KU says it needs to start construction of an estimated $75 million health education building. KU officials said without a new building to produce physicians, the medical school could lose its accreditation.

But Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, argued that KU could prioritize its spending to get the project going.

On other legislation, Holland warned those attending the chamber event of a pending proposal to repeal the mortgage registration fee, which he said would cost Douglas County about $2

million in revenue.

Francisco said the Senate Utilities Committee next week will consider a bill to repeal the state’s renewable energy standard.

The standard, which Francisco supports, required major utility companies to have the capacity to generate 10 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2011. It also called for the companies to generate 15 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.

In his comments, Wilson said he was frustrated by all the social service needs that aren’t being met because of a lack of revenue caused by Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cuts. Brownback has contended that the cuts in income tax rates and business taxes were necessary to spur the economy.

State medical board to appeal ruling in abortion referral case

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — The Kansas medical board plans to appeal a state court judge’s order overturning its revocation of a doctor’s license over her referrals of young patients for late-term abortions.

The State Board of Healing Arts decision Friday means the case of physician Ann Kristin Neuhaus goes next to the Kansas Court of Appeals.

The board in 2012 revoked Neuhaus’ license to provide charity care over her exams of 11 patients, ages 10 to 18, nine years earlier. It concluded Neuhaus had failed to meet accepted standards of medical care because her records did not show that she had done thorough exams.

Shawnee County District Judge Franklin Theis ruled last week that the

Henderson said Shaner visited the shelter to thank those who intervened on Thursday and others who wished him well.

Although the incident didn’t occur during dining hours, Henderson said enough people were present to restrain McKay because the dining area also serves as a walk-through area many use on their way in and out of the building.

“We really had some heroes,” he said.

medical board had failed to show that Neuhaus’ mental health exams were inadequate, only that her record-keeping was inadequate. The judge ordered the board to reconsider its sanctions.

Board members had a private, 20-minute meeting with legal staff to discuss the ruling and whether they should appeal or accept Theis’ decision and schedule more proceedings for Neuhaus.

They said little before voting in a brief, open session to have board attorneys pursue an appeal.

“There are legal grounds that support an appeal,” said Kathleen Selzler Lippert, the board’s executive director. “They thought it was appropriate to appeal.”

Neuhaus, from the small town of Nortonville, about 30 miles north of Lawrence, provided second opinions in 2003

Isaac Keppler, an attorney representing Monroe, said they were not commenting on the facts of the case right now, “but we are looking forward to the upcoming depositions.”

Monroe filed the suit in February 2013 after his 2012 termination following ticket-fixing al-

legations. Monroe had worked for the department since 1991. A trial date has not been set, but a final pretrial conference is scheduled for June 23 before a magistrate judge in Kansas City, Kan. Monroe, who is seeking $1.3 million in damages, said he fixed two or three traffic tickets over several years for former Kansas Athletics employee Rodney Jones. Jones was sentenced to federal prison for his role in a broader ticket scandal.

Monroe denied that he knew fellow police Sgt.

Journal-World to host LMH fundraising ball

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @GilesBruce

The Journal-World will play host to this year’s Hearts of Gold Ball, which benefits the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association.

The event, held every two years, raises funds for a specific project at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

The 2014 gala will help pay

for the renovation of the nonprofit hospital’s fourth floor, home of the acute rehab and transitional care units.

The Hearts of Gold Ball will take place Saturday, May 10, from 6 p.m. to midnight in the Journal-World press room, 608 Massachusetts St. The location inspired the ball’s theme, “Press On,” which also signifies the mindset patients

must have as they rehabilitate and heal.

The renovation of LMH’s 15,000-square-foot fourth floor is expected to cost $4 million and begin in 2015.

It will convert the patient rooms from semi-private to private and make the floor, which was last renovated in 1988, more accessible to rehabilitating patients.

Ticketing information To buy tickets, support the renovation of the fourth floor or sponsor the event, contact Davidson at 505-3318 or tracy.davidson@lmh.org, or visit lmhendowment.org.

Bill prohibiting gay, gender discrimination likely dead

Topeka — ­ A bill that would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is probably dead for the 2014 legislative session.

“It’s late in the session, and I don’t have any intention of working the bill at this time,” House Federal and State Af- Brunk fairs Committee Chairman Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, said Friday.

The decision most likely concludes for this year legislative wrangling between those opposed to same-sex marriage and those supporting gay rights.

SATURDAY COLUMN

KU deserves more support in Kansas Legislature

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

It’s time for Kansas University officials and a number of Kansas legislators to take off their sparring gloves and come clean with the public about why lawmakers seem determined to stiff-arm the university’s requests for funding of high-priority projects.

Has KU done a poor job of emphasizing the importance of critical projects — to the university and the state — or are lawmakers unable to either understand or believe the seriousness of the requests? Or, possibly, do a number of lawmakers have a chip on their shoulders, don’t like KU and turn a deaf ear to its requests?

Is the current negative climate in the Legislature due to a lack of credibility and confidence in the honesty of KU officials, or is it the result of a long, ineffective effort by KU officials to build a climate of trust, credibility and confidence with Kansas lawmakers?

There could be, and probably are, other reasons, but that’s all past tense. These past differences need to be resolved, but actions earlier this week raise serious concerns.

One KU request was for $2 million to pay for an institute to develop new technologies and drugs in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies.

This would be located on the Lawrence campus. The other request was for approval to start construction of a new $75 million to $80 million educa-

tion building at the KU School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan. The $2 million request was approved by the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday but was denied earlier in the week by a Senate subcommittee. The Senate Ways and Means Committee, which rejected KU’s medical education building funding this week, is scheduled to consider the $2 million technology institute request on Tuesday.

These requests were presented by senior, highly respected faculty members and administrators, not by professional arm-twisting lobbyists.

These individuals knew what they were talking about and knew from firsthand experience the urgency of their requests. They also knew the dire consequences if lawmakers refused to approve the requests.

Apparently, the lawmakers thought the requests were hollow, and the possible consequences outlined by KU officials were overstated.

One lawmaker tried to justify his negative actions in a Senate subcommittee saying KU’s enrollment numbers had dropped in recent years. That is accurate, but he also should be told, or know, that even though combined enrollment at KU and the KU Medical Center has dropped by 4.5 percent in the last five years, the number of degrees awarded at those campuses has increased by 13.4 percent! At Kansas State and Wichita State, where enrollment climbed by 4 percent

in the past five years, the number of degrees granted climbed by only 7.3 percent.

Enrollment numbers may have been down at KU, but the number of degrees awarded increased — increased by a substantially larger percentage than at KSU and Wichita. Isn’t that evidence of efficiency and a positive payoff for students, the university and the state?

COMMENTARY KU deserves better attention from state legislators and better attention and work by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Do Kansans want a run-of-themill state university or do they want a true flagship institution with national- and world-class programs, faculty members and students? Such an institution would be a powerful asset for the state.

Just because KU has enjoyed a proud national record in past years is no guarantee the school will continue to merit this reputation. Recent actions and attitudes by some legislators could trigger serious negative effects such as KU losing some of its most talented faculty members.

There are a number of such faculty members who receive attractive, better-paying and prestigious job offers from other schools but who have elected to remain at KU. Will the growing negative treatment of

KU cause some of these allstars to make a move?

The actions and attitude of some legislators send a clear message that they do not believe the story presented by KU officials. For one reason or another, they do not like KU, they look upon the school as being elitist, and they may be jealous of KU’s past successes.

At the same time, KU officials have not done a good job of telling KU’s story and promoting its importance to the state. Notre Dame Provost Thomas Burish, a KU graduate, was in Lawrence recently and said “flagship universities” are “disproportionately responsible for educating the people of this country.” He added, “In a demonstrative way, KU represents the best of Kansas and its citizens and enables them to achieve their dreams.”

KU is Kansas’ flagship institution, but do state lawmakers realize or understand the importance of strengthening KU to enable it to become an even greater asset for the state?

Likewise, those serving as regents must do a far better job of being aware of the strengths and weaknesses of KU, as well as the other schools under their supervision. They need to have the courage to take those actions when necessary to help build the excellence of these schools. History shows regents have been in the dark relative to negative situations at KU in the past.

This writer can be accused of being a “homer” and biased in favor of KU. It’s an accu-

rate description, but the fact is KU is not getting the support it deserves from state legislators. They are shortchanging the school and, in turn, handicapping the state. Failure to approve both a $2 million drug development institute on Mount Oread and funding for a new medical education building at the KU School of Medicine are two examples of shortchanging the state.

Do legislators realize that 89 Kansas counties have a shortage of primary care physicians, that Kansas ranks 39th nationally in the number of doctors per capita, that Kansas needs 285 new physicians each year to rise to the national average of physicians per capita by 2030 and that nearly 30 percent of the state’s current physicians will be lost to retirement and attrition in the next 10 years?

Perhaps some legislators either don’t believe these figures or don’t see a need to correct these deficiencies.

There is a donor prepared to make a $25 million gift to help fund the new building at the medical school and a sound, realistic plan to finance the building was presented to lawmakers. This didn’t register with a sufficient number of lawmakers, at least one of whom said he didn’t believe the seriousness of the situation and perhaps others who, for one reason or another, just don’t like KU. These actions are sure to hurt KU and the state.

It’s a sad state of affairs. Kansas deserves better.

An additional 10,344 people in Kansas were found to be eligible for and enrolled in Medi c a i d through the marketplace.

T h e state has thus far electHEALTH ed not to participate in the law’s Medicaid expansion, which supporters have said would extend health coverage to as many as 150,000 Kansas residents. Nearly 350,000 Kansans, including about 14,000 in Douglas County, were uninsured in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

There are only about two weeks left for the health insurance marketplace’s open enrollment period, which ends March 31. In Lawrence, sign-up assistance is available at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., and Heartland Community Health Center, 1 Riverfront Plaza, Suite 100.

Currently, city and school board races are nonpartisan, and the most recent proposal would allow them to remain that way. But Schumm said he thinks being paired with highly partisan races for governor, Congress and other seats will change the nature of City Commission politics.

Former Olympian launches exercise program in city

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Parade prep

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @GilesBruce

Former Olympian Jeff Galloway has made a career out of running.

And to get others into the sport, he encourages them … to walk.

Galloway, a member of the 1972 Olympic team in the 10,000-meter running event, stopped in Lawrence Friday to celebrate the launch of RunWalk Lawrence, which uses Galloway’s technique of taking strategic walk breaks while running to reduce injuries and speed up recovery times.

He spoke Friday about how exercise helps the brain — “turn your brain around and you can turn your life around” — and how many people (“over 300,000”) have benefited from his program.

“Run a little bit and then walk — you get all the empowerment without the pain,” said Galloway, who is still in great shape at 67. “And you get the reward that only exercise brings.”

J. Jenkins, an avid runner and the manager of Garry Gribble’s Running Sports in Lawrence, started RunWalk Lawrence in October because of a strong belief in Galloway’s “run-walk-run” approach.

“It keeps the legs fresh.

People find that they’re less sore, less likely to get injured,” said Jenkins, who has utilized

Galloway Galloway’s approach to prepare for marathons and get back into shape after surgery. “They enjoy their runs more, and they’re getting all of the same benefits.”

While nearly 100 of these programs exist across the country, RunWalk Lawrence is the only one in Kansas.

Galloway will be in Lawrence today as well.

At 8 a.m., he will take part in a free 5K fun run at Garry Gribble’s Running Sports, 839 Massachusetts St. At 10 a.m., he will teach a running school in the gallery space above Signs of Life, 722 Massachusetts St. (the cost is $100, or $40 for RunWalk Lawrence members). Then, at 1:30 p.m., he will be signing books at Gary Gribble’s Running Sports.

Drug charge ends in 54-month sentence

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

A Lawrence man will serve 54 months in prison after having pleaded guilty to cultivation or distribution of controlled substances.

On Thursday, District Judge Paula B. Martin sentenced Kirby K. Bell, 29, to 43 months with the department of corrections stemming from a plea agreement last month.

Q:

I have heard that Lawrence school district libraries have been ordered to get rid of 25 percent of their inventory and that the books were supposed to be offered to students and their families. I have also heard teachers are getting first dibs instead, then the rest is being shredded for insulation.

Is this is true?

On Feb. 24, the Lawrence school board authorized the administration to dispose of obsolete library materials, “by first offering them to students and families and then a recycling service that pays $10 per

A:

ton for materials.” The rationale was that the libraries plan to acquire more e-books and online learning resources, and library administrators want to free up space to provide more “flexible learning spaces” for students, including “learning pockets, maker spaces, genius bar, etc.”

“The Lawrence school board has given schools permission to give books to students as part of the normal process of ‘weeding’ school library collections,” said Julie Boyle, the district’s communications director. “If an individual has a concern related to this process, they may contact the school principal.”

Bell has a previous conviction in Douglas County in 2010 for possession of a precursor with intent

to use to manufacture a controlled substance. He was sentenced to probation, but Martin revoked the probation as part of Thursday’s sentence. Bell will now serve 11 months for the 2010 conviction to be followed by the 43 months handed down Thursday.

Man to be sentenced for drug distribution

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

Bell pleaded guilty on Feb. 7 to the distribution charge, while charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, endangering a child and marijuana possession were dropped.

A state prosecutor had accused Bell of committing the crimes on Nov. 8, 2012, which is when Lawrence police seized 19 grams of crack cocaine, 3 grams of marijuana, baggies and cellphones from Bell in the 1100 block of

A Douglas County District Judge found a 25-year-old Lawrence man guilty of two counts of marijuana distribution after a plea hearing on Friday.

Jacob Lee Gillihan pleaded no contest to

both counts as part of a plea agreement in which both sides recommended a sentence of 28 total months, presumably in prison. After hearing Gillihan’s plea and the facts of the case, District Judge Paula Martin found him guilty and set sentencing for April 24.

Gillihan was arrested in December at his home after an investigation by the Lawrence-Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit earlier that year. According to Assistant District Attorney Deborah Moody, the unit and a confidential informant staged two purchases of marijuana

at Gillihan’s home.

Gillihan is free on a $10,000 bond. Depending on his criminal history, Gillihan faces up to 51 months for each count if convicted.

NeLL

Rusty’s name may not be very original, but he doesn’t seem to care. He is one happy puppy and is not shy about showing it. When you are 4 months old, there isn’t much to worry about except being cute. He is a Chihuahua mix and has a short red and black coat. At this time he weighs close to 7 lbs., so he still has some growing to do.

He is waiting to meet you today.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well, beholder, meet beauty. Nell is a gorgeous 1 year old Pit Bull mix. Her coat is a soft tan and cream and she weighs around 58 lbs. She would love to have a family to call her own. Active and playful, she would be a devoted girl. She should get to meet any other dogs in the home, so bring them along when you come to visit.

With her unique reverse black brown brindle markings, Lucinda is quite the looker. She is a 5 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix with aspirations of finding the perfect home. She weighs about 65 lbs. and is not a real active girl.

She enjoys being outside, but prefers spending time relaxing with her peeps. She loves her stuffed Kong toy and a cozy bed to hang out on.

She would be a great family dog.

Cocoa has been there and done that.

At 8 years, she has decided that her friend list does not include any cats.

People, yes. Other dogs, sure. She is set in her ways, so don’t even ask. She also prefers to have your undivided attention and companionship when she is outside. Otherwise she might miss you and go looking for you. She is a chocolate Labrador Retriever and weighs a hefty, but trim, 71 lbs.

Chela

Bishop is a rugged outdoorsy kind of guy. He is a 5 year old Labrador Retriever mix with a short black coat.

He would thrive in a country home with lots of room to run and explore.

He weighs about 62 lbs., so he isn’t a huge guy. He’s an independent fellow most of the time, but does enjoy his people time. The weather is going to be beautiful today. Ask to visit with him in one of our yards.

Could she look any sadder, or more waif like? Chela really worked the camera at her photo shoot. She is actually a very loving and friendly little Chihuahua. She would be a great apartment dog, or even a great family dog, just keep her size in mind if you have small children.

She weighs in at about 5 lbs. and has a short buff colored coat. She is playful and enjoys being a lap dog.

Blanca

Grover

Charlie

Blanca is a stunning Siamese mix with cream white seal point markings. Look at those big baby blues. She is still a young girl at a little over 1 year. It is obvious when you meet her that she is nervous and shy, but her foster mom says she is a different cat when you get her home. She and Margot came in together, so why not get two beautiful kitties for the price of one.

Grover did his best poses and is putting together his portfolio just in case Hollywood calls. Until then, he is happily awaiting his new family. He is a happy go lucky 3 year old Shih Tzu mix and is as sweet as he is cute. He weighs about 14 lbs., so he won’t take up much space. He would be a wonderful family dog. His motto is “live, love , and be happy”.

Charlie won’t be this little for long.

He is a 3 month old Labrador Retriever mix and is definitely ready for a family to bond with.

He has a black and white coat and promises to grow into a medium sized boy. If you have some kiddos who are in need of a play and snuggle buddy, then come on down and meet this adorable pup.

He is sure to be adopted quickly.

The alternative to passivity is not war but a serious foreign policy.

foreign policy.

Jimmy Carter was similarly inclined — until Russia invaded Afghanistan …”

modationism has invited the kind of aggressiveness demonstrated by Iran in Syria, China in the East China Sea and Russia in Ukraine. But what’s done is done. Put that aside.

What is to be done now?

We have three objectives. In ascending order of difficulty: Reassure NATO. Deter further Russian incursion into Ukraine. Reverse the annexation of Crimea.

Reassure NATO: We’re already send-

ing U.S. aircraft to patrol the airspace of the Baltic states. That’s not enough.

1. Send the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to the Baltics to arrange joint maneuvers.

2. Same for the four NATO countries bordering Ukraine — Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.

3. Urgently revive the original missile defense agreements concluded with Poland and the Czech Republic before Obama canceled them unilaterally to appease Russia.

Deter Russia in Ukraine: 1. Extend the Black Sea maneuvers in which the USS Truxtun is currently engaged with Romania and Bulgaria. These were previously scheduled.

Order immediate — and continual — follow-ons.

2. Declare that any further Russian military incursion beyond Crimea will lead to a rapid and favorable response from NATO to any request from Kiev for weapons.

These would be accompanied by significant

numbers of NATO trainers and advisers.

This is no land-war strategy. This is the “tripwire” strategy successful for half a century in Germany and Korea.

Any Russian push into western Ukraine would then engage a thin tripwire of NATO trainer/ advisers. That is something the most rabid Soviet expansionist never risked. Nor would Putin.

It would, therefore, establish a ring of protection at least around the core of western Ukraine.

Reverse the annexation of Crimea: Clearly the most difficult. In the short run, likely impossible. There are no military cards to play, Russia holding all of them. Ukraine’s forces are very weak. The steps must be diplomatic and economic.

First, Crimean secession under Russian occupation must lead to Russia’s immediate expulsion from the G-8. To assuage the tremulous Angela Merkel, we could do it by subtraction: All

seven democracies withdraw from the G-8, then instantly reconstitute as the original G-7.

As for economic sanctions, they are currently puny. We haven’t done a thing. We haven’t even named names. We’ve just authorized the penalizing of individuals.

Name the names, freeze their accounts.

But any real effect will require broader sanctions and for that we need European cooperation. The ultimate sanction is to cut off Russian oligarchs, companies and banks from the Western financial system. That’s the economic “nuclear option” that brought Iran to its knees and to the negotiating table. It would have a devastating effect on Putin’s economy.

As of now, the Germans, French and British have balked. They have too much economic interest in the Moscow connection.

Which means we can do nothing decisive in the short or even medium term. But we can

PUBLIC FORUM To the editor: Crime in the Pinckney and Burcham Park areas has reached an alarming rate. The lack of patrol concerns me.

Within the last year, both my vehicle and my husband’s were broken into. On another occasion, my husband witnessed a strange man come onto our property and attempt to open my car doors. Luckily that time nothing was stolen or broken. Other suspicious incidents have occurred, and when combined with the recent events (dead body found and man stabbed), we feel that there isn’t enough action being taken by police in the area.

A week before reading about the body, I notified police of a deranged man with a broken beer bottle in my yard. He was talking to himself and jumping in front of passing vehicles, and I feared for my child’s safety and my own.

When police arrived, they questioned him and then left him in my yard. I had to call them back to have him removed.

On another occasion, a wailing man was lying on the sidewalk in front of my house. He was screaming profanities and throwing his shoes. Dispatch advised me to approach the man and ask him if he was OK. What? I’m supposed to approach a strange, apparently violent, man to ask him if he’s OK? That sounds completely safe.

Perhaps the Lawrence Police Department needs a lesson in time management, or perhaps they could spend less time sitting in the North Lawrence O’Reilly’s parking lot and

Heartless stand To the editor: Not long ago I chanced to have a conversation with a senior citizen opposed to that “horrible socialistic” program called the Affordable Care Act. When asked how someone without health insurance could afford to get necessary medical care, she replied, “Oh, I don’t know. Let them have a bake sale.”

It appears our Kansas legislators agree with her. None of them want to appear heartless by telling sick folk to “drop dead,” but that is exactly what they mean. The woman I talked with didn’t care. After all, she was covered by that “horrible socialistic” program called Medicare. Strange as it may seem, she didn’t volunteer to give it up.

Our U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins isn’t willing to give up her taxpayerfinanced health care either. While working overtime to deny uninsured Kansans that same blanket of security, she continues to tell constituents that she has their interests at heart. What interests are those, Rep. Jenkins? You’re against a living wage for workers, against health insurance for the uninsured, against an expansion of Medicaid, against farmers and their interests, against pretty much anything that would help Kansans survive.

Why do we keep electing such irresponsible people to represent us? It’s one of the dark mysteries that continues to haunt us.

OLD HOME TOWN

Parade applause Patrols needed To the editor: I served this year as a representative of the Camp Bromelsick Foundation Inc. on the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee. Each year, the committee raises funds for well-deserving charities. The other two charities chosen this year are Bikers Against Child Abuse and Baby Jay’s Legacy of Hope. The committee functions like a well-oiled machine and has raised more than $750,000 in funds for local children’s charities since the Parade started in 1988. The committee members deserve a great deal of thanks for all of their hard work. Committee members work year round with an exhaustive schedule the last 60 days before the parade.

The queen candidates do the lion’s share of the work each year.

The queen candidates this year are Kristina Selters (she has been selected as the queen), Jessica White, Janine Leslie and Jennifer Parson. I was impressed with the number of hours and hard work these women put in. They gave countless hours of their time to help the committee raise money and put on what I believe will be another great parade. Please give these ladies a great round of applause for all of their hard work when you see them in the parade that starts at 1 p.m. Monday. For more information about this great Lawrence tradition go to http:// www.lawrencestpatricksdayparade.com/ Michael E. Riling, Lawrence

severely squeeze Russia in the long term.

How? For serious sanctions to become possible, Europe must first be weaned off Russian gas.

Obama should order the Energy Department to expedite authorization for roughly 25 liquid natural gas export facilities. Demand all decisions within six weeks.

Second, call for urgent bipartisan consultation with congressional leaders for an emergency increase in defense spending, restoring at least $100 billion annually to the defense budget to keep U.S. armed forces at current strength or greater. Obama won’t do it but he should. Nothing demonstrates American global retreat more than a budget that reduces the U.S. Army to 1940 levels.

Obama is not the first president to conduct a weak foreign policy. Jimmy Carter was similarly inclined — until Russia invaded Afghanistan, at which point the scales fell from Carter’s eyes. He responded boldly: imposing the grain embargo on the Soviets, boycotting the Moscow Olympics, increasing defense spending and ostentatiously sending a machine gun-toting Zbigniew Brzezinski to the Khyber Pass, symbolizing the massive military aid we began sending the mujahedeen, whose insurgency so bled the Russians over the next decade that they not only lost Afghanistan but were fatally weakened as a global imperial power.

Invasion woke Carter from his illusions. Will it wake Obama?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for years March 15, 1914: ago “A mule team IN 1914 driven by Fred Tobler, who lives about six miles southwest of town, became frightened at a street car and ran down Seventh street today about noon. Tobler was driving east on Seventh when he had to turn to pass an oil wagon that was standing on the south side of the street by the Peerless garage. Just as he was turning back to the side of the street a car is said to have hit one of the mules. This frightened them and they started to run. Tobler jumped from the wagon and avoided injury.”

“Lawrence placed for the semi-finals yesterday in the State Basketball Tournament at Newton by defeating Hill City by a scare of 51 to 32. The boys did not have much trouble with the Hill City bunch. They took the lead early in the game and made a steady increase in the score. The same kind of ball won for Lawrence that they have been playing all season. The heat was the one factor that made the playing a burden.”

Crimea, which is Ukraine’s strategic Black Sea peninsula of 2 million people, has a majority ethnic Russian population and hosts a large Russian naval base. The West and Ukraine’s upstart government in Kiev believes the region’s vote to secede is unconstitutional.

Washington — President Barack Obama’s new promise to seek ways to ease his administration’s rate of deportations aims to mollify angry immigrant advocates but carries risks for a White House that has insisted it has little recourse.

In asking Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review enforcement practices, Obama could undo already fragile congressional efforts to overhaul immigration laws.

And he still could fall short of satisfying the demands of pro-immigrant groups that have been increasing pressure on him to dramatically reverse the administration’s record of deportations.

London (ap) — The West braced Friday for a vote by the Crimean Peninsula to secede from Ukraine — and likely be annexed by Russia — as the last attempt for diplomacy broke down despite threats of costly international sanctions and other imminent penalties against Moscow for forcibly challenging a proEuropean government in Kiev.

Russia’s top diplomat said Moscow will

The official, who wasn’t authorized to talk to the media and spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was possible the plane may have landed somewhere. The official later said there was no solid information on who might have been involved.

While other theories are still being examined, the official said key evidence suggesting human intervention is that contact with the Boeing 777’s transponder stopped about a dozen minutes before a messaging system on the jet quit. Such a gap would be unlikely in the case of an in-flight catastrophe.

Kuala Lumpur, Malay— Piracy and pilot suicide are among the scenarios under study as investigators grow increasingly certain the missing Malaysia Airlines jet changed course and headed west after its last radio contact with air traffic controllers.

The latest evidence suggests the plane didn’t experience a catastrophic incident over the South China Sea as was initially suspected. Some experts theorize that one of the pilots, or someone else with sia

flying experience, hijacked the plane or committed suicide by plunging the jet into the sea.

Adding to the speculation that someone was flying the jet, The New York Times on Friday quoted sources familiar with the investigation as saying that the plane experienced significant changes in altitude after it lost contact with ground control, and altered its course more than once.

A U.S. official told The Associated Press earlier that investigators are examining the possibility of “human intervention” in the plane’s disappearance, adding it may have

Unstoppable IOWA STATE 94, KANSAS 83

Kansas can’t slow ISU roll

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Softspoken Perry Ellis issued a stern warning to his Kansas University basketball teammates after Friday’s 94-83 loss to Iowa State in a Big 12 tournament semifinal in Sprint Center.

“After the game, he told us, ‘No more, no more. We can’t let this happen any more,’” KU freshman guard Frank Mason said.

“That was the biggest thing we got from him.”

Ellis, who erupted for 21 points the first half and finished with 30 points off 11of-12 shooting (7-for-8 from the line), was most perturbed and concerned about his — and his teammates’ — play on the defensive end.

Iowa State lit up the Jayhawks for 94 points off 54 percent shooting (11 of 19 threes).

It was the most points allowed by the Jayhawks in a regulation game in Bill Self’s 11 years at KU. The Jayhawks allowed 92 a week ago today at West Virginia and 92 against Iowa State on Jan. 28, 2012. Most points allowed by a Self team in an overtime game is 96 against the Cyclones on Feb. 25, 2013.

“That’s definitely unacceptable to give up that many points,” Ellis, a sophomore forward from Wichita, said. “That’s just way too many points. We have to reNick Krug/Journal-World Photo alize if we want to continue pursuing (a national title) KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR FALLS BACKWARD as he watches a floater from Iowa State guard DeAndre Kane, left, drop into the bucket during the second half of KU’s 94-83 loss Friday at Sprint Center.

Kansas City, Mo. — Sometimes, it’s about the other guys, especially when the other guys play a brand of basketball as innovative as Iowa State’s under coach Fred Hoiberg.

When the Cyclones hit their shots, they’re tough to beat. When they can’t get them to drop, they seldom have the defensive personnel to walk away winners.

capable of burying threepointers and a coach who knows how to put them in

the right places to make it difficult to supply help defense and still recover in time to prevent leaving shooters open, the Cyclones present a complicated challenge.

They miss those shots and they’re susceptible to grinders exploiting them defensively. That didn’t happen Friday night in Sprint Center, where ISU advanced to tonight’s Big

12 tournament title game by defeating Kansas, 94-83.

No need to call the coroner.

Everyone in Sprint Center and a national-television audience could identify it as a death by shooting.

The Cyclones made eight of 12 three-pointers in a first half that ended with Kansas on top, 48-46, and made 11 of 19 for the game.

Chiefs sign former Raiders lineman Walker Kansas City, Mo. — The Chiefs signed former Raiders defensive tackle Vance Walker to a three-year deal Friday, filling one of their needs, and announced the signing of linebacker Frank Zombo.

Walker was a seventh-round pick of the Falcons in 2009, and provided valuable depth while appearing in 58 games for them over his first four seasons. He started 15 games for the Raiders last season, making 29 tackles and three sacks.

Walker figures to replace Tyson Jackson, who signed with Atlanta in free agency.

“We’re pleased that we were able to come to an agreement with both Frank and Vance,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. “Frank was a key member of our defense and special teams units last season and we’re looking forward to having him back.

“Vance is a big, physical player that we believe can come in and contribute for us up front.”

The Chiefs entered free agency with about $9.6 million in salary-cap space, a paltry sum that doesn’t include the nearly $5 million it’s expected to sign their own players. So they were unable to make serious offers at many of their own free agents who signed lucrative deals elsewhere.

Instead, they’ve been scouring the free-agent market for players they believe will fit into their system, fit into their budget and fill their most glaring holes.

Walker, who had changed his Twitter avatar to the Chiefs logo on Friday, appears to fit that mold. The 6-foot-2, 295-pound veteran has enough athletic ability to play defensive end in the Chiefs’ 3-4 system, the same position Jackson held down, or provide depth across the line.

The Chiefs weren’t the only one interested in him. The Packers were linked to Walker, and his agent Chad Speck had mentioned that Walker had planned to visit Seattle.

Meanwhile, Zombo provides a reliable and versatile linebacker who can also contribute on special teams. He played in all 16 games for Kansas City a year ago, making five starts, and finished with 23 tackles and a pair of sacks. He also had an interception and forced a fumble.

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Saturday, March 15, 2014

| 3B

Baylor cruises into Big 12 title game Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — In late January, when Baylor was in the midst of a five-game losing streak and nothing seemed to be going right, coach Scott Drew marveled at how nobody pointed fingers.

“We stayed united,” he said, “stayed together.

We knew what we had to get better at, and credit them for getting better each and every day.”

All that improvement has been plainly evident this week.

Cory Jefferson had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Isaiah Austin dominated in the paint, and seventhseeded Baylor rolled to an 86-69 victory over Texas on Friday night. It was the third win in three days and sent the Bears into the Big 12 tournament title game for the third time.

Now the trick is to finally win it. They’ll face No. 16 Iowa State tonight.

“Very proud of how the guys competed. Playing three games in three days isn’t easy,” said Drew, who earned his 202nd win to pass Bill Henderson for the most in school history. “This is our third championship game in six years. We’re hoping the third time is the charm.”

Brady Heslip hit six 3-pointers and had 24 points for Baylor (24-10), which has won 10 of its last 11 to climb from a precarious position on the NCAA tournament bubble to firmly in the field.

Austin added 10 points and seven blocks for Baylor, giving him 17 swats for the tournament. That breaks the record of 11, held

by Missouri’s Arthur Johnson from the 2003 event.

“Isaiah has just been an anchor, just ridiculous,” Heslip said. “I think that’s

Isaiah Taylor led Texas with 16 points and seven assists. Jonathan Holmes was held to just six points on 3-for-12 shooting while dealing with foul trouble much of the night.

“I think they had a really good game offensively and defensively, but it’s nothing we didn’t go against every day in practice,” Holmes said. “Give

them credit. We didn’t execute.

“They were tougher than us tonight,” he said.

Baylor is the lowestseeded team to reach the title game since 2009, when the Bears made it as the ninth seed. They lost to Missouri that year, just as they did two years ago.

The Tigers are no longer part of the conference, of course, off to the SEC. And instead, the Bears will take on the Cyclones, who beat No.

10 Kansas 94-83 earlier in the night. Baylor and Iowa State split their two regular-season meetings, each winning at home.

“We’re going to give it all we got,” Drew said, “see how things turn out.”

Jefferson was hot right from the start, scoring Baylor’s first nine points and helping the Bears creep to an early lead. He kept going to work inside, even against the Longhorns’ big front line, and the lead eventually grew

to 29-18 with about five minutes left in the half.

Every time Texas tried to trim into it down the stretch, Baylor countered with a bucket, and Kenny Chery’s three-pointer in the closing seconds made it 42-27 at the break.

In fact, the only thing that didn’t go right for Baylor in the first half happened when Gary Franklin chose not to try padding the lead with a court-length heave as time expired. Drew yelled

at him, “What are you doing!?” Then he gave his guard a good-natured pat on the butt.

The matchup between old Southwest Conference rivals never got a whole lot more interesting in the second half.

Austin kept swatting shots, Jefferson kept scoring around the rim and the Bears kept taking advantage of sloppy Texas off to build on their lead.

Franklin’s three-pointer pushed the lead to 5939 with 11:20 remaining, prompting Texas coach Rick Barnes to call a timeout. But it didn’t do a whole lot of good — even when the Longhorns defended well for 34 seconds, somebody would hit a shot with one tick left on the clock.

Texas finally slapped on a full-court press in the closing minutes, getting within 79-67 with a couple minutes left, but the Bears sealed the win at the foul line.

“You really have to give Baylor a lot of credit in the fact that they executed offensively,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said, “and we didn’t really do the things we needed to do.”

IOWA STATE 94, KANSAS 83

ISU attacks Kansas inside

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — In the waning minutes of Thursday’s quarterfinal game between Kansas and Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks benefited greatly from OSU’s willingness to settle for jump shots with the game on the line.

Kansas was not as lucky in the semifinals on Friday, as fourth-seeded Iowa State continually attacked the rim and exploited the absence of Joel Embiid in a 94-83 victory at Sprint Center.

“We definitely noticed that,” ISU junior Dustin Hogue said of Oklahoma State’s decision to rely on its outside game in Thursday’s loss to Kansas. “With such a good shot-blocker like that out of the game, you have to attack the paint, because there’s not a lot of guys who have his ability to change shots.”

In the two previous meetings with ISU this season, Embiid blocked six shots and altered countless others. Friday, KU had three blocks, but two came from guard Wayne Selden, and the Cyclones often had clear paths to the rim when they pounded the ball inside to their big men.

Sophomore forward Georges Niang led ISU with 25 points on 11-of22 shooting, and many of his biggest buckets came on the type of moves preferred by fathers against their sons in the driveway: back them down with the dribble, turn at the rim and flip the ball into the hoop.

“Georges, we felt, was the guy that could go out and make plays for us, and he did that,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, who picked up just the second technical foul of his life during a KU run in the first half. “(He) had a few turnovers that he’d probably like to have back, but he must have scored six or seven straight pos-

sessions there to create some separation for us.”

Asked about Niang’s contribution, which included two three-pointers, seven assists and eight turnovers, Hogue had just one word to describe it.

“Unbelievable,” he said. “When Georges gets going, our whole team is at another level.”

As for Niang’s review of his big-time night, the 6-foot-7 forward deflected all praise.

“I give all the credit to coach Hoiberg,” he said.

“He puts me in great situations to use my advantages. And my teammates. They do a good job of spacing the floor and let me go to work.”

For a half, the Jayhawks (24-9) found similar success in running their offense through Perry Ellis, who poured in 21 points on 9-of-10 shooting to help Kansas lead, 48-46, at halftime. Hoiberg and the Cyclones (25-7) took note of Ellis’ hot hand, however, and limited the sophomore to just two shot attempts in the second half.

“We put a big emphasis on Perry Ellis,” said Hogue, noting that ISU’s focus at tipoff was mostly on KU freshman Andrew Wiggins, who tallied 22 points. “In the second half, we felt like let’s double him down in the post and make him make tough shots and make a decision, because if we can make him uncomfortable, it’ll be harder for him to make shots.”

The victory snapped Iowa State’s five-game losing streak against Kansas and advanced the Cyclones to tonight’s Big 12 championship game. “(Kansas is) a great team,” Hoiberg said. “It’s a great win for us for the fact that it gives us confidence that we can compete with anybody in the nation.

in this (upcoming NCAA) tournament, we have to be a team that is able to get stops.

“I think with us, as a young team, it’s just mental,” Ellis added. “We have to have a mentality we need to stop the men we are guarding. We have to figure that out, or it’s going to end soon.”

Thanks in part to Ellis, KU survived eight ISU three-pointers the first half and led, 48-46, at halftime. But ISU outscored KU, 48-35, after the break.

“Coach said with a team like that ... we can’t try to outscore a team like that,” KU point guard Naadir Tharpe said. “We have to get stops. We didn’t get stops as one.

“We couldn’t get stops at the end. It was back and forth. We can’t let that happen.”

Iowa State’s Georges Niang had 14 of his 25 points the second half as the Cyclones finished with a whopping five players in double figures. DeAndre Kane had 20 points, Melvin Ejim 19, Dustin Hogue 12 and Monte Morris 11 for a team that hit 68 percent of its second-half shots, just three of seven threes.

“They were killing us on the inside and outside,” Tharpe said of ISU, which opened a 59-52 lead off a three by Kane with 14:26 left. KU actually never crept closer than six the rest of the way.

IOWA STATE’S GEORGES NIANG (31) DRIVES TO THE BUCKET on Kansas’ Tarik Black (25) as Andrew Wiggins closes in.

“We can’t win games going out and letting teams get 90-some points on us. We have to get more stops in a row, hunker down on defense and finish the possession with rebounding. We didn’t do that today,” KU sophomore forward Jamari Traylor said.

Self had been quite pleased with his squad’s defense in a 77-70 quarterfinal victory over Oklahoma State on Thursday.

“We’re not going to play a team more than likely in the tournament

that’s better than Iowa State was tonight offensively,” Self said. “But sure I’m concerned. I don’t know of any coach that wouldn’t be concerned about different things with their ballclub.

That’s an area we’ve been inconsistent (defense) because our defense last night was exceptional.

“Tonight it wasn’t as good, and the matchup was harder for us tonight.

We historically play better defense when you play against two bigs, and tonight we played against

zero. That makes it hard for us to guard.”

KU has allowed 90-plus points in two of the last three games with 7-footer Joel Embiid out because of a stress fracture in his back.

Embiid isn’t expected to return for next weekend’s NCAA Tourney games.

“We definitely have to adjust,” Ellis said after the Jayhawks allowed 38 points in the paint, tying a seasonhigh by the opposition.

“He would deflect a lot of the drives and contest a lot of those shots. We have to focus on keeping them out

of the paint. That’s an emphasis we have to do now without him.”

“We do have to change,” noted Tharpe, who went 0-for-3 from the field and 5-for-6 from the line and finished with five points, nine assists and two turnovers. “We don’t have Joel so there is a change we have to do. We have to guard the perimeter. We don’t have anybody down there to block shots like Joel. We have a couple that can defer shots. Nobody can block like Joel. We have to all defend better.”

Ellis’ 11-of-12 shooting from the field marked a tournament field-goalpercentage record (91.7).

He had nine field goals at halftime, most by a KU player in a half since Nick Collison hit nine shots in the second half against Duke on March 27, 2003.

“Being aggressive,” Ellis said of the key to scoring 30, two points shy of his personal-best mark.

“That’s what I always say and what coach always tells me: Be aggressive is what I’m trying to do.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD ANDREW WIGGINS ELEVATES FOR AN ATTEMPTED DUNK as he is fouled by Iowa State forward Daniel Edozie during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 94-83 loss on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

NOTEBOOK

Self: KU has ‘no chance’ at 1 seed

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas University freshman Andrew Wiggins, who has yet to play in the NCAA Tournament, has heard there’s a significant difference in a team being a No. 1 or 2 seed.

“It’s always a factor. A 1 seed ... you are playing the easiest route,” Wiggins said after the Jayhawks’ 94-83 loss to Iowa State in a Big 12 tournament semifinal on Friday night in Sprint Center.

The Jayhawks (24-9), in coach Bill Self’s words, stand “no chance” of being granted a 1 seed on Selection Sunday, more likely a 2 or 3.

Not that it matters.

“We don’t fear anybody,” Wiggins said after scoring 22 points off 7-of-

21 shooting (7-of-10 from line). “We don’t care who is in our path. We are in it to win, you know?”

He said he’s confident his team can win six in a row and the NCAA title.

Asked why he feels that way, Wiggins said: “My team, my coaches and the fans we’ve got. We are all competitors. Everybody on this team ... we know we are capable of beating any team on any given night.”

Of Selection Sunday, Self said: “We’re not going to be disappointed with whatever happens.

But certainly I don’t know if there’s any magical thing right now that we’ll definitely be in this region or anything like that. Right now, I don’t know. A lot depends on what happens in other league tournaments.”

l

Backdrop talk: Self had a slight problem with the backdrop for his postgame news conference outside the Jayhawks’ locker room in Sprint Center.

“Do I have to stand in front of that damn Iowa State deal?” he said with a smile, looking at the Cyclone logo directly behind him. “I’ve seen enough of them today.”

He scooted over to stand in front of a Jayhawk. l

with unbelievable energy and fatigue has set in a little bit, it usually doesn’t hurt your offense as much as your defense. That was the case tonight.” l

Different halves: Perry Ellis on scoring nine points the second half after 21 the first.

“I definitely could tell they clogged the lane a lot more off their shooters,” Ellis said. “We definitely had to drive more.

That was the key thing.

“I felt like we were on our heels defensively throughout the game. I felt in the first half we did a lot better than the second half. We left too many straight line drives to the basket in the second half.”

Fatigue: Self said the Jayhawks would forget about this game by Sunday.

“We played like a team — this isn’t an excuse, because (the Cyclones) l played yesterday, too — No pressure: Senior we played like a tired team defensively,” Self said. forward Tarik Black, on “When you are not playing if he feels pressure on the

defensive end with Joel Embiid out of action.

“He’s a big piece of our team,” Black said. “So everybody on the team has to make up for his absence. We have to rotate on defense as a team because we’re missing our shot-blockers on the floor. On the ground defense has to be better. On offense we have to play with one another, and the offense has to move smoother without him on the floor. The whole team takes up their pressure.” l

This, that: Ellis’ 21 firsthalf points tied his own mark for the third-most points scored by a Jayhawk in a half (21, second half vs. TCU, Feb. 15).

Since the record started being kept in the 199889 season, only two Jayhawks have scored more

KANSAS FORWARD TARIK BLACK HAS HIS SHOT REJECTED by Iowa State guard DeAndre Kane during the first half.

Six Cyclones made at least one three-pointer, and first-team All-Big 12 point guard DeAndre Kane made five of six on a night he totaled 20 points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals and a blocked shot.

Unlike the way most basketball games are won, Iowa State established the outside game to open up the inside.

Center Georges Niang, who has burned Kansas in the past from long range, did his damage in the paint this time on a night he cobbled together a strange stat line: 11 of 22 shots, one of four threes, 25 points, two rebounds, seven assists and eight turnovers.

One night after Kansas did such a terrific job of clogging the paint with strong help defense, Niang had his way.

When a team gets as hot from beyond the arc as the Cyclones did the first half, it can, at the very least, subconsciously take the conviction out of leaving your man to help on another.

Couple that with the Cyclones being strategically spaced far apart, which

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON DISHES A PASS around Iowa State forward Dustin Hogue during the first half. lengthens the defender’s task in both helping and recovering, and it’s a tough blend to combat, especially without a shotblocker.

“Everybody still has to give strong help and get back to close out on shooters,” KU forward Jamari Traylor said of whether playing a team like Iowa State requires changing the defensive approach. “They’re definitely a talented team, a tough team to guard.

Those guys can really shoot it. They came out hot today and made a lot of great plays down the stretch.”

Even with 7-foot

center Joel Embiid in the lineup, Kansas didn’t defend as consistently well as in most recent seasons, but they did throw Iowa State off stride in Ames, Iowa, to the tune of 4-for-25 from three for the Cyclones that night.

“They made shots tonight,” Kansas point guard Naadir Tharpe said. “I think we played much better defensively that night. Today they were shooting more open shots, and we had miscommunication, and that’s what hurt us.”

Said Traylor of the Cyclones: “So many shooters, and everybody can score. Great coaching. A

points in a half (22 by Sherron Collins at Oklahoma, Feb. 23, 2009; 24

by Andrew Wiggins at West Virginia, 3/8/14). ...

Wiggins missed his first six shots. His first point came from the free-throw line with 11:50 remaining in the first half. Eight minutes later (3:51), he connected on his first field goal. ... Wiggins now has 574 points. He now only trails Ben McLemore (589, 2013) as the all-time freshman scoring leader at Kansas. ... Wiggins passed McLemore (400, 2013) for the top spot on the freshman field-goalattempts chart with 403 after shooting a careerhigh 21 times Friday. ...

Naadir Tharpe dished seven assists and no turnovers in the first half and ended his night with nine assists and two turnovers.

team like that, especially when they come out hot, rolling and ready to play, they’re a tough matchup for anybody.”

Tough matchups for Kansas became more plentiful once Embiid went down because of a stress fracture of the lower back, an injury expected to keep him out of at least the first two games of the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks are 3-2 without him.

Kansas played two tough teams in the Big 12 tournament and batted .500. After facing a lightweight in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it’ll face a tough one in the second round, a game that likely will be close to a 50-50 proposition. If the Jayhawks advance to the Sweet 16, another 50-50 proposition awaits, and it involves the status of their gifted center from Cameroon. Will he or won’t he play? No point in worrying about that unless the Jayhawks survive for that long.

“Points are going to come,” Traylor said. “We scored pretty good today, but we definitely have to limit the opponents.

How many did they have, 90-something? That’s too many. We’ve got to get that number down.”

Kansas baseball upends UT, 3-2 J-W Staff Reports

Austin, Texas — Kansas University’s Jordan Piché struck out Jeremy Montalbano with the tying run on third base to preserve Kansas University’s 3-2 Big 12 baseball victory over No. 10-ranked Texas on Friday.

Piché earned his third save of the season in the league opener for both teams and made a winner of Wes Benjamin (3-0).

Benjamin allowed just two runs off six hits over 82⁄3 innings.

“He was really special,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “One of the things I was really pleased with was the use of his changeup. It was just outstanding to both the right-handed guys and the left handed guys. He was able to get

ahead and they were really aggressive.”

The Jayhawks (13-4, 1-0) took a 2-0 lead in the first.

Justin Protacio led off with a single and moved to second on Tommy Mirabelli’s sacrifice. After Michael Suiter walked, Connor McKay singled in a run.

Tucker Tharp drove in Suiter with a sacrifice fly.

Kansas scored the winning run in the fifth, after Mirabelli walked, moved to second on Suiter’s single and scored on McKay’s single.

Texas fell to 14-5, 0-1.

KU FOOTBALL PRO DAY

By Matt Tait

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ASHLEY NEWMAN PUTS DOWN A BUNT in the Jayhawks’ 10-0 rout of Northern Illinois on Friday at Arrocha Ballpark.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

The minute former Kansas University running back James Sims learned he had been left off the list for February’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, he refocused his mind to KU’s Pro Day, which took place Friday morning at the KU football facilities.

KU’s four-time leading rusher zeroed in on one aspect of Friday’s workout.

“Just the 40,” Sims said of one of the most popular measuring sticks in all of sports. “I wanted to crack a good time to put myself in a good position for the draft.”

Sims did just that in front of more than a dozen NFL scouts Friday at Memorial Stadium, ripping off a 4.56-second 40yard dash on his second of two tries.

Sims, who finished his KU career with the thirdbest rushing-yardage total in school history, was joined by 11 teammates, as well as former Jayhawks Greg Brown and Tunde Bakare in running through all of the drills they run at the combine.

Sims was, by far, the most popular attraction for the pro scouts Friday, and he delivered solid numbers in every area he was tested.

He ran 4.19 seconds in the shuttle drill, 7.21 seconds in the three-cone drill and also flashed good speed, drive and mobility in the sprints and receiving routes out of the backfield.

Earlier in the day, the 6-foot, 205-pound Sims, who recently signed with an agent out of Houston and has spent the past few months train-

ing at home back in Irving, Texas, did 16 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press and recorded a leap of 32.5 inches in the vertical-jump test.

“I feel pretty good about the numbers I put up,” Sims said.

He also felt good about being back in Lawrence one final time as a Jayhawk.

“Me being out here just feels normal,” he said.

“Not going through the season at Kansas is going to be different, but I’m just anxious to see where I end up next fall and take things from there.”

Although it was clear that he had gotten over it, Sims admitted to being surprised by the lack of a combine invitation.

Despite the slight, he emphasized he knew just how to react because he had been overlooked plenty of times before.

“It caught me off guard,” he said. “But once I found out I wasn’t going, I just used it as motivation to come out here today and show everybody what I could do. I just have to prove myself again. That’s nothing new for me.”

Other Jayhawks who performed well Friday included safety Dexter Lin-

Ford, Sims, Sizemore and offensive lineman Aslam Sterling seem to be drawing the most interest from NFL scouts, but a handful of others figure to get invitations to camp following this year’s draft, which is scheduled for May 8-10.

“I’ve been training so long for this, it’s just kind of a relief for it to finally be here, be done with it and see where you stand,” Sizemore said. “I have an agent, and he seems to think I have a good shot to get an opportunity.

The big thing is, there aren’t a lot of fullbacks in college football with everybody going to the spread offense.”

Added Sterling: “I haven’t heard from anybody yet, but I’m still optimistic about it. You never know what can happen. Teams always need offensive linemen.”

Park City — Eudora High sophomore Austin Downing made a layup with seven seconds left to lift the EHS boys basketball team over top-seeded Andale, 44-43, on Friday afternoon in the semifinals of the Class 4A-II state tournament at Hartman Arena.

Fourth-seeded Eudora (19-5) will play secondseeded Scott City (21-3) at 6:15 tonight in the state championship game.

The Cardinals trailed by 11 in the second quarter and by six to begin the fourth. Senior Andrew Ballock and freshman Mitchell Ballock combined for a few steals and layups to start a 6-0 run to tie the game at 32. Later in the fourth quarter, Andrew Ballock grabbed a steal and made a layup to tie the game before Andale answered with a three-pointer.

Andrew Ballock then drove past his defender for a layup to cut the score to 43-42 with 48 seconds left.

Andale missed the front-end of a one-andone free throw with 22 seconds remaining before Downing shot over two defenders for the gamewinning basket.

Mitchell Ballock scored 11 of his game-high 14 points in the second half. Andrew Ballock finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Downing had a game-high seven rebounds to go along with nine points.

Kawinpakorn was tied for 12th to lead the Jayhawks. KU’s Thanuttra Boonraksasat fired a 79 to tie for 20th in the 75-player field. Minami Levonowich and Meghan Potee each shot 80 to tie for 30th. And Pornvipa Sakdee opened with an 81 to tie for 39th. Gabriella DiMarco competed as an

individual for the Jayhawks and finished in a tie for 68th with an 87.

Kansas tennis defeats ISU Ames, Iowa — Kansas Univerity’s women’s tennis opened Big 12 play Friday with a 6-1 victory over Iowa State.

The Jayhawks (9-3, 1-0 Big 12) ended a threematch losing streak and stretched their all-time series lead over ISU to 39-3.

Maria Jose Cardona, Maria Belen Ludueña, Paulina Los, Claire Dreyer and Morgan Barnhill claimed singles victories for KU. Cardona teamed with Ludueña, and Dreyer

teamed with Barnhill to give KU the doubles point.

KU will travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to face West Virginia on Sunday.

Conley fourth in long jump Albuquerque, N.M. — Kansas University sophomore Sydney Conley earned a fourth-place finish in the long jump Friday night at the NCAA Indoor.

“I can’t be mad today, I walked away with a PR,” Conley said. “That’s all I was looking for today.

Whatever place that PR would put me in, I was going to be happy with, so fourth place is fine. It’s a great achievement to be

an All-American and I hope I can keep this up for the next three years.”

Natalia Bartnovskaya tied for 10th place in the pole vault. The meet was Bartnovskaya’s last as a Jayhawk; she no longer has eligibility remaining for the outdoor season.

Another senior, Diamond Dixon, was in action Friday night looking to continue her journey to a second national title in the indoor 400 meters. The Houston product was unable to make it out of the semifinals, however, after she failed to tally one of the eight fastest times out of the 16-women field. Dixon took third in her heat and 11th overall after she clocked in with a time of 52.92.

Dear Annie: You printed an essay about a year ago regarding the loss of a pet from the pet’s point of view.

I hope you can help me dig it up. — A.S. Dear A.S.: That poem is one of our most requested, and we are pleased to reprint it.

A Dog’s Plea by Beth Norman Harris: Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of

Saturday packed with true crime True crime continues to dominate Saturday nights both in documentary and scripted fashion. Dreama Walker (”Gossip Girl,” ‘‘The Good Wife”) stars in the 2014 thriller “The Grim Sleeper” (7 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime). She plays Christine Pelisek, a reporter who devotes herself to investigating a series of murdered women in Los Angeles. She soon detects a pattern that indicates a single suspect may be responsible for dozens of homicides over two decades.

Singer and actress Macy Gray (”Training Day”) stars as the alleged killer’s one known survivor, who helps Pelisek identify the monster.

In a rare departure from true crime, CBS airs the documentary “Summer Dreams” (7 p.m. Saturday), a look at the 61-game NBA Summer League, a hardwood variation on baseball’s spring training, where hot prospects, long shots and potential comebacks compete.

Among the “stars” of “Dreams” are 2013 first-round draft picks Michael Carter-Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Dallas Mavericks’ Shane Larkin.

Saturday’s other highlights

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” (7 p.m., Fox).

A dying man abandons a baby on “Castle” (7 p.m., ABC).

The newsmagazine “Nightline Prime” (8 p.m., ABC) debuts.

A convicted terrorist goes free on “Ripper Street” (8 p.m., BBC America).

“Beyond the Headlines: The Real Grim Sleeper” (9 p.m., Lifetime) recalls a serial killer active in Los Angeles; it follows the premiere of “The Grim Sleeper.”

Drake hosts and performs on “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC).

Cult Choice A desperate mother (Goldie Hawn) goes the extra mile to save her child from being put up for adoption in the 1974 drama “The Sugarland Express” (7 p.m. Saturday, TCM), a notable big-screen debut for a TV movie director named Steven Spielberg.

BIRTHDAYS Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 81. Model Fabio is 53. Actress Eva Longoria is 39. Rapper-musician will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas) is 39.

And, my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going.

I am not having any fun.

Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, March 15: This year you head in a new direction and add to your life possibilities. Be willing to take a well-thought-out risk or two, but curb an impulsive streak. If you are single, you could meet someone of life significance in the next five months. If you are attached, you are in one of the warmer periods of your relationship.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might experience a lot of optimism throughout the day. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your romantic nature emerges. You also might have the energy to do your taxes or some spring cleaning. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will be much happier dealing with a family member than you have been in a while, as this person seems to be extra attentive. Tonight: Invite others over for a fun evening.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You’ll speak your mind loud and clear. Others will hear you and respond. Tonight: Out and about.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Curb a need to be selfindulgent. Today you will be able to back away from a touchy situation. Tonight: Enjoy your friends.

sleeves and put them in a binder. Then I put all of my recipes on flash drives and gave them to my kids. They enjoyed having the recipes they enjoyed as children.

If you don’t know what to get your parents or grandparents, I highly recommend the gift of your time. If Grandma makes the best piecrust in town, ask her to show you. Take your parents out to lunch. You may also want to check to be sure that your parents have everything they need to be comfortable.

Winters are cold, and it is expensive to heat the house, so warm slippers, socks, etc., make a difference. — S.S. Dear S.S.: Thank you for your thoughtful and creative gift ideas. People often assume a gift means money, but it’s the less expensive things that can mean the most.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Good luck, logic and compassion seem to surround you today. This is not surprising, as you tend to be sincere and modest. Tonight: As you like it.

Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are full of energy and dynamic ideas; however, you might feel as if someone is raining on your parade. Tonight: A must appearance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to defer plans to take off spontaneously.

You know what is good for you.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Understand what a partner wants from you. It will be your pleasure to follow through on a request. Tonight: Stop and enjoy the person you are with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Others come toward you. Touch base with a loved one, even if he or she seems off-kilter.

Tonight: Do not stand on ceremony.
