‘OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY’

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

Louisville, Ky. — The Kansas University basketball team plays in its first Sweet 16 game in three years today in the KFC Yum! Center (estimated 8:40 p.m. CT tipoff, against Maryland), but the Jayhawks view it more as a stop than a destination.

“We know that feeling of how it hurts to go home earlier than you expected,” said Kansas junior center Landen Lucas, referencing second-round losses in each of the past two seasons.

“Right now, our goal is to make it all the way to Houston and be successful in Houston, so anything short of that is going to feel like a letdown to us.”

One of the four schools that will play tonight in Louisville — hometown of Muhammad Ali and home to Churchill Downs, the track on which the Kentucky Derby is run — will advance to the Final Four in Houston.

The Jayhawks visited Churchill Downs on Tuesday and went through a public practice Wednesday at the Yum! Center.

Senior reserve Evan Manning triggered an ovation from the crowd and a series of high-fives from teammates by making a half-court shot near the end of practice.

It was a moment in keeping with the loose post-season vibe the Jayhawks have shown so far. In practice, in the locker room and in games, the Jayhawks have the look of a close-knit bunch.

“We like competing so much as a team, we like playing together so much, we just don’t want the season to come to an end without it being a win at

the end,” Lucas said.

To reach that goal, top-seeded Kansas (32-4) must start by defeating Maryland, the tallest remaining team in the NCAA Tournament. Adding the heights of the five starters, Maryland stands a full foot taller than Kansas.

The shortest starter for the No. 5 seed Terps (27-8), 6-foot3 sophomore Melo Trimble, leads the team in scoring (14.8 points per game) and assists (5.0). The tallest starter, 6-11 freshman Diamond Stone, ranks second on the team in scoring (12.7)

REPRINTS AT SHOP.KUSPORTS.COM

and rebounding.

Maryland, coached by former Kansas point guard and assistant coach Mark Turgeon, of Topeka, was ranked No. 2 in the nation as recently as Feb. 8 before stumbling down the stretch.

“This time of year, everybody’s dialed in and ready to play,” Turgeon said at a Wednesday press conference. “I expect Kansas to play well, and I expect us to play well. Should be a great game. Our guys are fired up because they have a lot of respect for Kansas and they’re

the best team in the tournament. That gets our attention.”

No. 2 seed Villanova faces No. 3 Miami on the same floor at 6:10 p.m. CT. The winners of the two games meet Saturday, with the winner of that one representing the South Region at the Final Four in Houston.

SCHOOL FUNDING

Governor could get equity bill today

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature say they hope to send a final version of the latest school funding equity bill to Gov. Sam Brownback before they adjourn today for their four-weeks spring break.

Both the House and Senate budget committees advanced their respective versions of the bill Wednesday. The full chambers are expected to debate and vote on the bills today, the scheduled last day of the 2016 regular session. It is also possible either chamber could simply concur with the other chamber’s bill and send it di- LEGISLATURE rectly to the governor.

Inside: “The main benefit (to quick Senate OKs passage) is time,” Senate bill targeting Ways and Means Committee teachers Chairman Ty Masterson of unions. 6A Andover said. “If they wish to opine on it prior to our return (in late April), then we have one more opportunity to respond, if that’s possible. The whole point of this speed is surety.”

Both bills are in response to a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in February that said the current method of distributing socalled “equalization” aid to school districts is unconstitutional because it requires less wealthy districts to levy higher property tax rates in order to raise comparable amounts of money.

The court said if lawmakers do not cure the disparities before July 1, the first day of the next fiscal year, it could order the closure of public schools until the Legislature produces a constitutional funding mechanism.

Ottawa man found guilty in quadruple murder Associated Press

Ottawa — Jurors convicted an eastern Kansas man on Wednesday in the fatal 2013 shootings of three adults and an 18-month-old girl whose body was found in a suitcase in a rural creek.

Kyle Flack, 30, was found guilty of capital murder in the deaths of Kaylie Bailey and her toddler daughter, Lana, meaning he could face the death penalty when sentenced next week, according to Franklin

County District Court Administrator John Steelman.

Flack also was convicted in the deaths of Bailey's boyfriend, Andrew Stout, and his roommate, Steven White, who lived in a rural farmhouse where Flack Flack sometimes stayed in Ottawa, about 25 miles south of Lawrence.

It's unclear what led to the shootings, which detectives believe happened on sepa-

began deliberating Wednesday morning.

Prosecutors said investigators believe White was killed first, around April 20, 2013.

The 31-year-old's body was later found under a tarp in an outbuilding near the farmhouse. Authorities believe Stout, 30, was shot on April 29; his body was found in his bedroom under a pile of clothes, the Kansas City Star reported.

Investigators said Bailey's body also was found in a bedroom, partially clothed with

Authorities also say he indicated Stout killed White during a dispute over rent, but that the interview ended after Flack asked for an attorney.

The adults' bodies were found about a week later at the farm. Search crews found the child's body in a suitcase floating in the Tequa Creek about a week later, the newspaper reported.

Prosecutors presented two weeks of testimony from dozens of witnesses and hundreds of exhibits during the trial.

Senate approves bill to accelerate tax lid Topeka (ap) — Kansas senators have passed a bill to accelerate a cap on city and county property tax increases.

The Senate approved the bill with a 24-16 vote Tuesday.

The bill moves up the implementation of the property tax lid from 2018 to 2017. The lid was placed into law last year and requires voters to approve property tax increases above the rate of inflation.

Debate continued for more than four hours as lawmakers went through amendments seeking exemptions to the bill’s requirements.

The legislation already provided some exemptions that wouldn’t trigger the cap, such as construction of new buildings, increases in personal property valuation and property that has changed use. Federal mandates, court judgments and bond and interest payments also wouldn’t trigger the lid.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Senators argued over a an amendment that would exempt the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility from Manhattan and Riley County’s property tax lid. Sen. Tom Hawk, DManhattan, proposed the amendment, pointing to the facility’s importance to the state and the additional business it’s expected to attract to the area.

Sen. Jeff Melcher, RLeawood, said spoke in opposition to the amendment, saying lawmakers are potentially afraid of taxpayers and don’t trust their decisions.

Hawk withdrew his amendment. A similar amendment he introduced later in the debate to address objections about uniformity failed with an 11-24 vote.

With a 22-17 vote, Senators adopted an amendment proposed by Sen. Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, to exempt emergency services spending from the lid.

He died Feb. 17, 2015, at age 95 — leaving the Naismith sculpture incomplete.

Others stepped in to finish the job: Tefft’s son and apprentice Kim Tefft doing the hands-on work and Tom and Kathy Wiggans donating the money to fund it.

Even with no commission from KU, Elden Tefft imagined more than a decade ago that the university ought to have such a sculpture, his son told the Journal-World last summer. He conceived the idea around 2001 or 2002 and started working on it in earnest around 2004.

“He was one that would always start a project often times without necessarily having a buyer,” Kim Tefft said of his father. “It was just a good idea, and he wanted to do it. He always imagined that KU would be one of the first places to get the Naismith statute, but he had three places in mind.”

In fact, KU will be the third to install a Naismith sculpture created from the same model. The other two are located at Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., where Naismith worked when he created the game of basketball, and Almonte, Ontario, Canada, where Naismith was born.

KU’s sculpture completes “the international tri-memorial,” Tefft told the Journal-World last summer.

At 57 inches tall, the seated Naismith is slightly larger than life — but

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES within the DeBruce Center and around the “Rules Concourse,” which will tell the story of basketball and lead to the “Rules Gallery,” where James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball” will be displayed. DeBruce Center officials are expecting the facility to be open by mid- to late April. much heavier, according to stats provided by KU Endowment. The sculpture weighs in at about 322 pounds.

“My father wanted a piece that would carry itself in an outdoor environment,” Tefft said. “You want something larger than life-size for that. At the same time he wanted it intimate enough that people could interact with it, sit beside it, get their pictures taken.”

Elden Tefft earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at KU and taught at the university from 1950 to 1990. He built the first “lost-wax” foundry on a university campus at KU, enabling artists to complete the creation and casting process themselves from beginning to end and making KU a teaching center for the method.

Naismith worked at KU for close to 40 years.

KU hired him in 1898 as chapel director, director of physical education and university physician, according to KU. He coached

the KU basketball team from 1899 to 1907, and also became KU’s first athletic director.

Naismith died in 1939 and is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Lawrence.

The Wigganses live in Atherton, Calif., according to KU Endowment.

Tom Wiggans is a 1975 KU graduate, who got his bachelor’s degree in pharmacy here, and a member of the KU Endowment Board of Trustees.

KU alumnus David Booth and his wife, Suzanne Booth, purchased Naismith’s 1891 rules of “Basket Ball” at auction in 2010 for $4.3 million.

In addition to the rules and historical displays about Naismith and legendary KU basketball coach Phog Allen, the $21.7 million DeBruce Center will offer a cafeteria, student lounge, gift shop and event space.

The Senate committee inserted language into its bill, meant as a message to the Supreme Court, spelling out its rationale for the changes it makes, and various “findings of fact” the committee made after conducting three days of depositionlike hearings from state education officials, local school districts and other groups that lobby on education issues.

Among those are statements that say the previous equalization formulas, “had no basis in educational policy,” and that, “this act fully complies with the supreme court’s order.”

Sen. Laura Kelly, of Topeka, the ranking Democrat on Senate Ways and Means, said she did not think the court would be swayed by those statements.

“I certainly appreciate all the editorializing we put into the bill today. I’ve never seen that happen before. But we don’t usually have transcriptionists sitting in our hearings either,” she said. “I do believe that this is cobbled together in the hopes that the court, which probably doesn’t want to shut the schools own either, will say this is good enough.”

According to an analysis by the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department, the bill being considered in the Senate would narrow that disparity. But whether it narrows the disparity enough to satisfy the Supreme Court remains to be seen.

SENATE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN TY MASTERSON, R-ANDOVER, answers questions about the Senate’s school funding equity bill after a committee hearing Wednesday.

The analysis showed how much property tax, on average, would have to be levied for each school district to have a local option budget equal to 25 percent of its state-prescribed general fund budget.

Local option budgets are the additional amount of general expense funds districts are allowed to raise, above what the state provides, up to a maximum of 33 percent of their general fund budgets.

The state subsidizes those mill levies for poorer districts so they do not have to levy higher property tax rates than

wealthier districts.

According to the analysis, under the bill, the wealthiest 20 percent of districts would have to levy, on average, 15.51 mills to generate a 25 percent local option budget.

The poorest 20 percent of districts would have to levy an average of 18.658 mills — a difference of 3.148 mills, or $54.30 per year in tax on a home valued at $150,000.

That’s narrower than the 5.456 mill disparity under current law, and significantly narrower than the 15.855 mill gap that existed during the

2013-2014 school year.

But officials from the Kansas City, Kan., and Wichita school districts testified against it, arguing that it only redistributes money already appropriated and does not provide any new funding for them to operate.

Jim Freeman, chief financial officer of the Wichita district, said that district is already contemplating laying off staff this year if lawmakers do not increase overall funding for schools.

Throughout the hearings in both the House and Senate committees,

a court reporter was present to transcribe testimony. Lawmakers say they are trying to build a record that can be submitted to the Supreme Court to document why they believe the legislation they adopt answers the court’s concerns.

Lawmakers also added $50,000 to their own budget this year to hire an outside attorney to advise and represent them in the court proceedings.

Smoking materials cited as cause of apartment fire

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Investigators have determined that the cause of a Tuesday afternoon apartment fire was the improper disposal of smoking materials.

At 12:12 p.m. Tuesday a fire was reported on the third-floor balcony of the Orchard Corners apartment complex at 1403 Apple Lane, near the intersection of Kasold Drive and Bob Billings Parkway, said Lawrence-Douglas

County Fire Medical Division Chief Bill Stark. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters extinguished the bulk of the flames within minutes but remained on scene for several hours to ensure the building did not reignite, Stark said.

Damage to the building is estimated to be $150,000, the department said Wednesday in a release.

KU Med: Plans advancing, but funding issues loom

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas City, Kan. — In the homestretch of its 2011 to 2016 strategic plan, the Kansas University Medical Center has notched big strides but also grapples with some big challenges, particularly involving funding.

Doug Girod, the medical center’s executive vice chancellor, delivered a strategic plan update Wednesday to the Kansas Board of Regents, which held its March meeting at the school.

Overall, Girod said, the plan has five focus areas.

“Our goal is to educate, to discover, to heal, to engage and to innovate,” he said.

Highlights include expanding the KU School of MedicineWichita to a four-year campus and opening the KU School of Medicine-Salina, also a fouryear campus.

Girod said the new Health Education Building, under construction now at the main campus, will change the way the

Tool CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

There’s no “perfect tool” for this type of information, Regents President and CEO Blake Flanders said.

“It’s not a cost calculator,” he said. “Some students’ costs are going to be higher, and some students’ costs are going to be lower. ... I think it gives a really fair demonstration about really what your costs will be.”

Flanders said he hoped Kansas DegreeStats won’t be used to deter students from choosing degrees with lower projected salaries, but rather help them make informed decisions about how much it’s prudent to borrow to get that degree.

“

Probably the biggest challenge for us is lack of ability to give raises to our staff.”

— Doug Girod, Kansas University Medical Center executive vice chancellor schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions teach.

“Historically in health care we have trained our health care providers in isolation ... each in their own silos if you will,” Girod said.

“This will significantly enhance our ability for inter-professional education going forward.”

The KU Cancer Center received National Cancer Institute designation in 2012 and is preparing to reapply in September, Girod said. The goal this time is to obtain an even more elite designation, that of Comprehensive Cancer Center.

In January of this year, the medical center finalized a long process of clinical integration with KU Hospital — streamlining and making more efficient how the two work together, Girod said.

“The economic returns of higher education are important, but they’re not solely the purpose for higher education,” Flanders said. “We know we want students to find their passion.”

Kansas DegreeStats includes nearly 600 different degrees, according to the Regents.

Users can select specific degree names from a dropdown menu, but there’s also an important keyword search option because not all schools name their degrees the same, Regents spokeswoman Breeze Richardson explained. For example, a finance degree at one school might be titled business administration at another.

Kansas DegreeStats is somewhat similar to the national College Scorecard tool, which compares schools at the

As a result of reductions, Girod said, the medical center has: l Cut facilities positions from 153 to 91. l Decreased administrative positions by 45 percent. l Reduced library staffing by 50 percent. l Decreased western Kansas medical outreach airplane flights by 60 percent. l Closed several programs in western Kansas and Kansas City.

“But probably the biggest challenge for us is lack of ability to give raises to our staff,” Girod said, saying there has been only one 2 percent employee salary increase in eight years.

On the bright side of funding, the campus reached its goal of raising $250 million in KU Endowment’s Far Above campaign.

“We actually shattered that goal and have raised $360 million for the medical center during the five years of this strategic plan,” Girod said.

One funding goal has been to increase sponsored research expenditures to $110 million.

The medical center hit that goal in 2013 and 2015 and expects to hit it again, Girod said. However, with National Institutes of Health grant application success rates slumping nationally, it hasn’t been easy, and the medical center has many activities in place hoped to help enhance its success rate.

“For every 100 (grant requests) we put in, we’re fortunate to get 18 of those funded, so it’s a very difficult environment for that,” Girod said.

State funding also has been a challenge, Girod said. Adjusted for inflation, the center has had a 32 percent reduction in its state general fund from 2002 to 2016, according to a medical center — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187. chart.

broader collegiate level, launched last fall by President Barack Obama.

At the state level, Richardson said, six states besides Kansas currently publish graduates’ earnings, but Texas is the only other one that currently pairs that with information about costs.

She said state universities in Kansas will be required to link to the Kansas DegreeStats tool on their online homepages and provide information about it with all electronic and hard-copy transmissions about their degree programs.

Senate Bill 193, first introduced last year and now in conference committee, would solidify the creation of Kansas DegreeStats and also add two-year degree programs from technical and community colleges, said

Elaine Frisbie, Regents vice president of finance and administration.

Board of Regents President Shane Bangerter said the “degree prospectus” demand by the Legislature was controversial.

He said he believes Kansas DegreeStats builds “good will” with the Legislature while providing a useful service to Kansas students and families.

The state has provided funds to the Board of Regents specifically for data collection and maintenance, Richardson said. She said the Regents didn’t calculate a specific cost to create Kansas DegreeStats.

“There were no grant monies received, or additional state funds, no money earmarked specifically for this,” Richardson said. “Rather, board office staff designed, built

and tested various ideas in order to produce the final product you see now.

Moving forward, this tool will be updated alongside our other data initiatives.”

Arrest CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“They were getting really loud. I heard a girl’s voice and a couple of guys,” she said. “I heard a bunch of commotion. A lot. And I thought it was kind of rude because it was so early.”

Around 8 a.m. SpearsTenpenny said she took her son to school and returned home, only to find dozens of police officers in her neighborhood shortly after.

Not knowing what happened at the home makes her nervous, especially taking her son into consideration, Spears-Tenpenny said.

McKinley said the two men had an “altercation” inside the home prior to the shooting on Wednesday morning.

After the man and woman were interviewed, the woman was released and the man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery and transported to the Douglas County Jail.

Late Wednesday, the arrested man’s identity was listed as Evan William Skyler Thornton, 20, of Lawrence, on the Douglas County Jail booking log. He was being held without bond on suspicion of aggravated battery and aggravated weapons violation by a convicted felon. An update on the victim’s condition was not available.

Dear Annie: My husband’s high school sweetheart (from 30 years ago) refuses to let go of the past and move on. “Donna” tried to get my husband to cheat on his first wife, and he declined. She also tried to get him to have a fling with her while we were dating, and again, he refused her advances.

Donna continues to maintain contact with my husband’s siblings and his mother on Facebook by “liking” their photos and such, but has blocked both of us from seeing any of her interactions with them.

My husband would like her to respect his space and leave his family alone. I don’t think she meets the definition of a stalker. She’s just annoying. How can we get her to move into the present and let go of that part of her past

‘Catch’ is all style, no substance What will Shonda Rhimes think of next? Not unlike Rhimes’ “Scandal,” the midseason replacement “The Catch” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14) concerns a super-elite, secret agency of professionals run by women. As on “Grey’s Anatomy,” professional standing is no salve for a broken heart.

Mireille Enos (“The Killing”) stars as Alice Vaughan, a private investigator first seen outwitting a notorious art burglar by posing as a possible accomplice. The theme of beating the bad guys at their own game runs throughout “The Catch.” And half of the heist thrillers on basic cable.

As the show gets underway, the workaholic Alice awaits her wedding to the smooth and dreamy gazillionaire Benjamin Jones (Peter Krause, “Parenthood”).

Her business partner and good friend Valerie Anderson (Rose Rollins, “The L Word”) is seen buying wedding cakes and handling all of the bridezilla stuff while Alice focuses on the firm’s biggest headache, a shadowy Mr. X. He has stolen more than $5 million from various businesses, often in plain sight.

It’s hardly a spoiler to reveal that Alice’s dreamboat is also the target of her investigation.

His double-cross is the whole premise of the series. That, and the fact that he’s been dating her for a year on behalf of his boss and controlling lover, Margot Bishop (Sonya Walger, “Lost”).

A normal person might be devastated if her fiance seduced and abandoned her, vanishing without a trace. It would ruin her life. But Alice doesn’t exactly have a life, except when she’s working. So her vengeful pursuit of Benjamin/Mr. X takes some of the sting out of the mortification.

Just where can this series go? Ultimately “The Catch” offers a lot more to look at than think about. It’s basically about (and maybe for) people like Alice, unable to look beneath, or beyond, the alluring surface of attractive people and expensive possessions.

Tonight’s other highlights O The Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament begins (6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., CBS), (6:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., TBS).

O Damage control on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

O Contestants must use a rival’s fabrics on “Project Runway: All Stars” (8 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG).

Senate passes bill targeting teachers unions

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Public school teachers and community college faculty would have to vote every three years to continue being represented by a professional employees organization, under a bill passed Wednesday by the Kansas Senate.

But Senate Bill 469, which passed, 22-18, is now less drastic than when it was first introduced, thanks to an amendment

by Sen. Molly Baumgardner, R-Louisburg. Beside requiring elections every three years instead of every year, the bill now only requires a majority vote of those teachers casting ballots, rather than a majority of all teachers in the group.

Baumgardner, who serves on the Commerce Committee

“

I understand the Koch brothers and the (Kansas) Policy Institute and Americans for Prosperity. They don’t like public education.

They’re trying to tear down our teachers.

This bill’s perfect for their suitable needs.”

— Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City

where the bill originated, said most teachers and college faculty in Kansas have never voted on whether they want to be represented by a union.

“It is an issue that faculty in almost all of the different school districts and the 19 community colleges have not had a vote about their representation in more than 40 years,” she said. “The average K-12 teacher stays with the school district

for seven years.”

But Sen. Tom Holland, of Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the Commerce Committee, blasted the bill as a “unionbusting” measure sponsored by outside groups who do not support public education that is meant to weaken the bargaining position of teachers and faculty.

“I understand the Koch brothers and the (Kansas) Policy Institute and Americans for Pros-

perity. They don’t like public education. They’re trying to tear down our teachers. This bill’s perfect for their suitable needs,” Holland said. “But you know what I didn’t see, Mr. Chairman. I did not see one teacher as a proponent come before our committee and say this is why we need to have this bill.”

But Sen. Greg Smith, ROverland Park, who teaches at Shawnee Mission West High School, said he is a teacher who favors the bill.

“Teachers unions at times have historically achieved some productive measures for teachers,” he said. “However, more often than not, teachers unions — or to be more specific, the leaders of those unions — have blocked meaningful and urgently needed change in education.”

Last year, lawmakers passed

a significant overhaul of the Professional Negotiations Act, which governs what issues must, or may be, negotiated between teachers and school districts.

That bill was the product of negotiations that lawmakers had requested between the teachers unions and associations representing administrators.

Jeff Longbine, R-Emporia, said passage of this year’s bill would be going back on that negotiated compromise.

“My concern is, what message is this body sending to those people?” he said. “I ask this body, how long is a compromise good for?”

The bill now goes to the House for consideration.

Glass ban, cameras planned if KU wins COMPOST & WOODCHIP SALE

I

just want to say one word to you. Just one word: Plastics.

If the Kansas University Jayhawks win tonight against Maryland and enter into the Elite 8, glass bottles will be banned in certain downtown areas, police said. It’s a temporary law that will last as long as the Jayhawks do.

“The goal of the ban is to keep individuals safe,” said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley in an email. “Bottles, whether thrown or broken on the ground, pose safety hazards to those downtown.”

Contingent upon a win against Maryland the ban will be in effect Saturday when the Jayhawks face off against either Villanova or Miami, McKinley said. Bottles will be banned from noon Saturday through 6 a.m. on Monday.

If KU wins Saturday, the glass ban will again come into effect at noon on April 2 through 6 a.m. on April 5.

Those opposed to the Kansas Department of Transportation’s plan to close access to Kansas Highway 10 from Kasold Drive won the support Wednesday of the Douglas County Commission.

That support, however, was tempered by expressed pessimism that a planned letter of support would change KDOT’s plan to eliminate Kasold Drive access to and from K-10. County commissioners were also supportive of greater KDOT planning to ensure future access to southwest Douglas County from K-10 when the highway is widened to four lanes, but did not endorse an alternative plan presented to them Wednesday.

KDOT currently is studying possible designs for an expansion of the South Lawrence Trafficway west of U.S. Highway 59 to Interstate 70. But there is no funding in place to expand the road, and KDOT officials have said the earliest the department could start on what it calls the West Leg K-10 Project would be 2020.

The group behind Wednesday’s request included Lawrence businessman Frank Male, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Wakarusa Township Board of Trustees, Wakarusa Township Fire Department, Army Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake and First Student Bus Service. The group sought a letter of support from the County Commission for short- and

County commission supports request that KDOT maintain K-10 access from Kasold

By Elvyn Jones

long-term alternatives to changes KDOT’s plans for the Kasold Drive intersection. The group also asked that the county support placement of a signal at County Road 458 and U.S. Highway 59.

Douglas County Public Works director Keith Browning had good news for the group on that last request. KDOT has agreed to place a light at the CR 458/U.S. 59 intersection, he said. A temporary light, which would be followed with comprehensive safety improvements to the intersection, would be in place before Kasold Drive access were eliminated in August, he said.

Browning also said KDOT would have a public information meeting in April on its Kasold Drive plans.

Speaking for the group, Male said it came as a surprise when in February KDOT announced it would close Kasold Drive access to and from K-10 with the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway. The planned August closure was not among the design changes the department shared at public meetings concerning improvements that would come with the west K-10’s expansion to four lanes, he said.

Eliminating access at Kasold Drive would create a bottleneck for all of southwest Douglas County to and from Lawrence, lengthen emergency vehicle response times and put more traffic on the Clinton Dam road, Male said.

As a short-term solution to KDOT’s plan to eliminate Kasold Drive

access, the group asked the County Commission to support placement of a traffic-activated light on K-10 at Kasold Drive and a speed limit reduction from 65 to 55 mph from the U.S. 59 intersection west to a curve near Clinton Parkway.

Browning said a traffic signal at Kasold Drive and the speed limit change were highly unlikely to gain KDOT’s approval.

In the view of KDOT engineers, a traffic light at Kasold Drive about a mile from the point the highway narrowed from four to two lanes would increase the risk of rearend collisions, he said.

County commissioners shared Browning’s pessimism and said they understood KDOT’s concerns, but nonetheless agreed to support the constituents’ requests.

There was less support for the group’s proposed long-term solution. The group proposed that a new separated-grade interchange be built on an East 1150 Road alignment about a half mile west of Kasold Drive as part of the West Leg K-10 Project improvements. The plan was “problematic,” Browning said, because it would require the “very expensive” elevated spanning of floodplains north and south of K-10.

Browning suggested the county and city of Lawrence work with KDOT to extend Wakarusa Drive to the south. Some extension of the road already was part of the KDOT plans for a new interchange to serve the Youth Sports Complex, he said.

That plan would replace the at-grade Wakarusa Drive intersection at the sports complex with an overpass, which would have no entry or exit ramps. Access to the sports complex would be through a new interchange to the southeast and would connect to Wakarusa Drive and the complex via a frontage road.

Male and his group will next ask the Lawrence City Commission for its support.

Impeachment antics A bill to expand impeachment criteria in Kansas already has gone too far and, for the good of the state, should go no further.

T

uesday’s narrow passage by the Kansas Senate should be the end of the road for damaging and probably unconstitutional legislation that would set broad new criteria for the impeachment of Kansas Supreme Court justices, the governor and other state-level elected officials.

The measure now goes to the House, which should decline to consider the legislation.

The sponsors of Senate Bill 439 claim that their intention is to clarify the checks and balances among the three branches of state government, but the bill, instead, is a transparent legislative power grab.

The Kansas Constitution allows state officials to be “removed from office by impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” What legislators are attempting to do — without amending the constitution — is to further “define” what qualifies as “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Among the more ridiculous offenses they say should be covered by that umbrella are “exhibiting discourteous conduct” in their professional dealings or “exhibiting personal misbehavior or misconduct.”

The meat of this measure, however, lies in the addition of “attempting to usurp the power of the legislative or executive branch of government” as grounds for impeachment. That provision is a barely veiled warning to Supreme Court justices who have declared the state’s school finance system unconstitutional.

And who gets to decide whether justices or state officials are guilty of any of these crimes? Members of the Kansas Legislature. The House has “the sole power to impeach,” officials who then are tried by the Senate, which can remove them from office with a twothirds majority vote.

The offenses so broadly defined in this legislation would allow legislators to remove any number of justices or state officials and replace them with people who shared the political agenda of the legislative majority. Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, has repeatedly contended that the independent courts in Kansas illustrate the principle that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” while ignorantly or willfully failing to acknowledge that the impeachment bill invites exactly that kind of corruption within the Legislature.

The Senate bill initially was directed at Supreme Court justices and appointed district judges. In an apparent effort to disguise their attack on the courts, legislators subsequently added state-level elected officials to the bill and dropped the district judges. But the real target of the legislation is clear: the Kansas Supreme Court. Unfortunately, the constitutional separation of powers that is basic to state government would be collateral damage.

Even if this bill is passed, it’s unlikely it would pass constitutional muster. With that in mind, the supporters of this bill probably were more interested in making a point than in making good law. For better or worse, they’ve made their point. It’s time to let this issue die.

Brussels attack reveals security flaws Washington — The value of catastrophic events is that they can help people face up to problems that are otherwise impossible to address.

Maybe this will be the case with Tuesday’s horrific attacks in Brussels.

Europe is facing a security threat that’s unprecedented in its modern history, at a time when its common currency, border security and intelligence-sharing are all under severe stress. If Europe were a stock, a pragmatic investor would sell it, despite the sunk cost and sentimental attachment.

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The European Union needs to reinvent its security system. It needs to break the stovepipes that prevent sharing information, enforcing borders and protecting citizens.”

Without radical restructuring, it’s an enterprise that’s headed for failure.

Europe needs new system The European Union needs to reinvent its security system. It needs to break the stovepipes that prevent sharing information, enforcing borders and protecting citizens. In the months before Tuesday’s terror attacks in Brussels, “the system was blinking red,” as George Tenet, the former CIA director, famously described the period before Sept. 11, 2001.

Yet Belgium (like pre-9/11 America) couldn’t connect the dots.

The jihadist wave rolling back toward Europe is dizzying: U.S. intelligence agencies estimate that more than 38,000 foreign fighters have traveled to Iraq and Syria since 2012. At least 5,000 of them came from Europe, including 1,700 from France, 760 from Britain, 760 from Germany and 470 from Belgium, according to official data collected by

the Soufan Group, a security consulting firm. Relative to its population, Belgium spawned the largest number of these fighters.

Belgian authorities couldn’t find Salah Abdeslam, the logistical planner of the November Paris attacks, for more than 120 days — until they finally nabbed him last Friday a few blocks from where he grew up in the Arab enclave of Molenbeek. He was hiding in plain sight. But Belgium’s failure was cooked into the system: The jihadists move stealthily, and the Belgians didn’t collect or share enough of the intelligence that was there. The authorities had allowed Molenbeek to become a safe haven — more dangerous to Belgium than even the jihadists’ sanctuaries in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

U.S. effort hasn’t worked Americans, who are less exposed to the threat, may smugly imagine they can wall themselves off. But the Islamic State’s rampage is more an American failure than a European one.

The United States formed a global coalition to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State back in September 2014. This strategy hasn’t worked; the Islamic State’s domain has shrunk in Iraq and Syria but expanded elsewhere.

The failure of the U.S.-

led coalition to contain the jihadists has left a fragile Europe exposed to terrorism and social upheaval.

President Obama hopes that history will affirm his prudent policy, but this view is surely harder to maintain after the Paris and Brussels attacks.

How could the U.S. and Europe develop a more effective strategy to combat the Islamic State? It would begin with truly shared intelligence and military command. After the shock of Pearl Harbor, the top leadership of the United States and Britain gathered in Washington in December 1941 for the “Arcadia Conference.” Though remembered for the personal bond between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, its greatest achievement was a unified command that swept aside petty jealousies within the U.S. and British militaries and between the two nations. Once this alliance was struck, eventual victory was inevitable, as Churchill said.

The obstacles to success against the Islamic State are similar. The intelligence services of European nations vary in competence and aggressiveness. Experts say that Britain and France have strong spy agencies; Germany’s is competent but afraid to level with its public; the rest are relatively weak, and there is no Europe-wide spy agency.

Europe wants more “product” from America’s intelligence Leviathan, but less collection. Americans and Europeans sometimes act as if they’re on different teams.

This was the path to Brussels.

Better cooperation “There’s a general recognition among intelligence professionals that the services have to cooperate more, and that the U.S. should take the lead in bringing them together,” argues Michael Allen, former staff director of the House intelligence committee.

Intelligence strategies that worked against al-Qaida may not succeed with this adversary. The Islamic State leaves few digital signals.

More “human intelligence” — real spies daring to penetrate the enemy camp — is essential, however risky.

Another answer may be the application of “machine learning” to big data sets to yield essential leads: Who’s likely to be recruited? What are the likely targets? What’s the best way to disrupt potential adversaries?

European intelligence services must combine forces with the U.S. and with each other. The West needs a new Arcadia Conference to build a partnership to contain the Islamic State as it plots the next Brussels-style attacks.

McConnell’s lies are fooling no one A few words about the pious insincerity of Mitch McConnell.

As you are no doubt aware, McConnell, the Senate majority leader, announced on the very day that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died that he would refuse to hold hearings on any replacement nominated by President Obama. McConnell’s “reasoning,” if you want to grace it with that word, was that since the president has less than a year left in his term, the appointment should be made by whomever the American people choose as his successor.

Last week, after Obama fulfilled his constitutional duty by nominating respected federal judge Merrick Garland to the post, McConnell renewed his refusal.

“The Biden rule,” he said, “reminds us that the decision the Senate announced weeks ago remains about a principle and not a person.

It seems clear that President Obama made this nomination not with the intent of seeing the nominee confirmed, but in order to politicize it for purposes of the election.”

The American people, added McConnell, should have a say in this. “So let’s give them a voice. Let’s let

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Indeed, while he has been roundly condemned for disrespecting the president, let’s spare some outrage for the way he is also disrespecting us.”

the American people decide.”

There are four lies here, each more threadbare and cynical than the last: 1. The Biden rule? There is no such thing. There is only an opinion Vice President Biden expressed 24 years ago as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that if a vacancy opened on the top court during convention season — which is still several months off — the president should “consider” not nominating a replacement until after the election. It bears repeating: Biden never said the presi-

dent should not nominate or the Senate should not vote; he only suggested waiting until “after the election” to do so.

2. It’s the president who’s politicizing this? In psychology, that’s known as “projecting.” Around the way, it’s known as the pot calling the kettle black.

3. “A principle and not a person?” No, it’s about a person — the same person, the president — toward whom McConnell and his party have expressed such unremitting disrespect the last seven years.

4. The voice of the people?

The people have already spoken — twice — in elections that were not close.

For that matter, they are still speaking. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll says 63 percent of us want the Senate to hold hearings and vote.

McConnell should just claim he’s too busy arranging his sock drawer. That would be more credible than the excuses he’s given.

The quality of a lie is a direct reflection of the respect the liar has for the person being lied to. That will seem counterintuitive, but consider: You put effort into a lie, work to make it plausible, credible, believable, when you have regard

for the recipient, when his good opinion matters or his discovery of the truth would be disastrous.

That being the case, what does it suggest when you put as little effort into a lie as McConnell has?

Indeed, while he has been roundly condemned for disrespecting the president, let’s spare some outrage for the way he is also disrespecting us. Not just in failing to do his job, but also in offering such a transparently dishonest rationale for it.

He knows he’s lying, you know he’s lying and he knows you know he’s lying.

But you get the sense he doesn’t care. Why should he? Those who need to believe there’s a noble principle behind this obstructionism will be willingly gulled. As to the rest of us, so what?

That’s not statesmanship.

It is not even politics. It’s just contempt — and not only for the president. If we cannot count on McConnell and his party to do the country’s business and behave in a manner befitting serious people in positions of responsibility, perhaps it’s not too much to ask that they at least spare us that.

Tell better lies next time.

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees plans to make a final nomination in late April for who will be the hospital’s new CEO. A committee that was formed to hire the next CEO scheduled in-person interviews in April with three candidates, the board was told at its Wednesday meeting. The committee narrowed the pool of candidates down from the dozen who were being

Goodland 47/28

“I think we’re all wanting to decide pretty quickly,” said Cindy Yulich, chair of the board of trustees.

“And correctly,” board member John Ross added.

FEDS SNAG 8,000 VIOLENT OFFENDERS 12-city operation involved gunfights, assaults, standoffs Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Federal authorities announced on Wednesday the arrests of more than 8,000 violent fugitives, including 559 accused of murder, in the past six weeks as part of an operation aimed at combating persistent WASHINGTON

crime in 12 cities.

In Baltimore, 148 fugitives were swept up, including 23 murder suspects in the effort led by the U.S. Marshals Service, known as Operation Violence Reduction 12.

“With warrants in hand and after extensive extra training for the dangerous situations they were likely to encounter, the marshals and our state and local partners went to work getting the worst of the worst off of our streets,” Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said.

Among the most serious of-

fenders were 648 alleged gang members and 846 suspected sex offenders arrested in Brooklyn, N.Y.; Camden, N.J.; Chicago; Compton, Calif.; Fresno, Calif.; Gary, Ind.; Milwaukee; New Orleans; Oakland; Savannah, Ga.; and Washington.

In some cases, the deputy attorney general said, the targeted fugitives “initiated gunbattles, forced barricaded standoffs, assaulted officers and did everything they could to evade arrest.”

“This was a lot of work and not an easy task,” Yates said. “But by planning this carefully, they were

able to target that handful of bad guys who cause the most violence in our communities and who were out on our streets despite having open warrants for their arrest.”

The average suspect netted in the mass arrests was 35 years old and had seven prior arrests and three convictions.

“This truly validated that we were going after the most dangerous criminals who were hardened, experienced and repeat offenders,” said David Harlow, deputy director of the U.S. Marshals Service.

Among the 8,075 suspects were Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Harper, whose string of multistate warrants on charges of armed robbery, burglary and kidnapping earned them national notoriety as the modern-day “Bonnie and Clyde.” Last month, while attempting to flee members of a marshals task force in Florida, the couple allegedly fired on officers. The gunbattle left Fitzgerald dead. Harper was arrested.

The six-week sweep also resulted in the recovery of 17 children, ages 11 months to 15 years, who had been abducted.

Muslims shoulder outbreak of anger, fear Mike James and Linda Dono USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Cities across the USA are preparing for the phase that inevitably follows a terror attack: anti-Muslim backlash.

Across social media, in public forums on college campuses and in political rhetoric by presidential candidates, anger over the deadly terror attacks in Brussels spawned discontent and suspicion directed at Muslim groups.

After the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, leaders in Ohio, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey and California spoke out quickly to dissuade anti-Muslim sentiment.

The aftermath of an attack “is always a difficult time for Muslims in the United States,” says Nabil Shaikh, a leader of the Mus-

BRIAN BOHANNON, SPECIAL FOR THE COURIER-JOURNAL

lim Students Association at Princeton University.

“On Princeton’s campus, students took to anonymous forums like Yik Yak to comment that there are Muslims at Princeton who are radical and would therefore condone yesterday’s attacks,” Shaikh said. “These comments not only are appalling and inaccurate but also threaten the wellbeing of Muslim students.”

The backlash in the USA is not as confrontational as in Belgium and Paris, which was attacked by terrorists in November. There have been anti-Muslim rallies in Flemish cities such as Antwerp and Ghent. Muslim communities in the USA face opposition more in the form of rhetoric.

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said the day after the attacks that the United States needs to “empower law enforce-

ment to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” President Obama called the approach “wrong and un-American.”

“I just left a country that engages in that kind of surveillance, which, by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped, to America, the land of the free,” he said, referring to Cuba.

More than two dozen Islamic leaders gathered in Louisville to condemn the attacks and urge the public not to link all Muslims with terrorism, describing a growing level of “Islamophobia.”

Muhammad Babar, a Louisville Islamic leader with Muslim Americans for Compassion, called the Brussels attack heartbreaking. “Do not see us through the actions” of the Islamic State, he said. “We are as American as you are.”

A Peruvian woman died while her Belgian husband chased after their twin daughters at the airport’s departures area.

An Englishman texted his family that he was OK after the airport explosions, only to be feared dead in the later subway explosion.

And so many more.

The victims of the Brussels attacks, both those who died and survived, reflect the city’s place at a major world crossroads. The Belgian capital, headquarters of the European Union and NATO, holds tens of thousands of expatriate residents, as well as millions of tourists who come to experience its magnificent central square, the Grande Place, its famed restaurants and the cheeky Manneken Pis statue.

As they prepared to fly from the airport Tuesday morning or traveled to work on the subway, they encountered the horror wrought by Islamic terrorists striking at the heart of Europe.

Here are some of their stories: ADELMA TAPIA RUIZ

Peruvian Adelma Tapia Ruiz, 36, died at the airport. She had come to see off relatives with her Belgian husband, Christophe Delcambe, and their twin daughters, Maureen and Alondra.

Ruiz’s brother, Fernando Tapia Coral, told The New York Times that the couple’s daughters went outside the gate area to play shortly before the explosion, and Delcambe followed them.

Justice Dept. defends widespread DEA wiretapping Surveillance was legal, court filing says Brad Heath USA TODAY

The Justice Department offered its first defense this week of a once-vast eavesdropping program carried out by drug agents in the Los Angeles suburbs over the objection of government lawyers who feared it was illegal.

The Justice Department urged a judge not to throw out wiretaps agents used to arrest an accused

marijuana trafficker, saying the surveillance was “authorized in accordance with state and federal law.” That defense came in a filing Monday in federal court in Louisville.

The Kentucky case is the first major challenge to a surveillance program by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and prosecutors in Riverside County, Calif., so large that it once accounted for nearly a fifth of all U.S. wiretaps. Monday’s filing was the first time the Justice Department expressed an opinion publicly on whether it was legal.

Prosecutors offered a narrow

defense of the halted wiretap program, arguing mainly that the accused trafficker’s lawyers had not offered up enough evidence that the taps used in that case violated

federal law. But the prosecutors attached evidence that could help the defense make that case.

The challenge follows an investigation last year by USA TODAY and The Desert Sun that found the DEA and prosecutors in Riverside County, outside Los Angeles, constructed a vast and legally questionable wiretapping operation that secretly intercepted millions of calls and text messages with the approval of a single state court judge. Justice Department lawyers refused to use the results in federal court because they did not think the surveillance could withstand a legal challenge.

Last month, defense lawyers charged that Riverside’s prosecutors approved “illegal wiretaps with astounding frequency,” and they asked a judge to throw out recordings the government planned to use against Christopher Mattingly, who is accused of trafficking in marijuana from California.

“Riverside County made a mockery of individual privacy rights, ignored federal requirements limiting the use of wiretaps and permitted law enforcement to intercept telephone calls at their whim and caprice,” wrote Brian Butler, one of Mattingly’s lawyers.

Priebus talks rules for unruly convention RNC chairman says nominee will be someone running

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus seems surprisingly calm for someone whose job is to set rules for the unruly, to plan for the most unpredictable and potentially turbulent political convention in decades.

Start with Donald Trump, the unexpected front-runner and someone who has been arguing it would be only fair that he win the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in July even if he’s just shy of the required 1,237 majority of delegates.

“Well, I mean, it’s a good argument maybe for him to make, but it’s not really how the rules work,” Priebus told Capital Download in an earnest, just-the-facts voice.

“The rules require a majority of delegates at the convention and it’s always been that way. I mean, if a minority could choose the nominee, we would have Gov. Seward in 1860, not Abraham Lincoln.”

For those who may have forgotten the particulars of the 1860 Republican Convention, Lincoln, a former Illinois congressman, won the nomination on the third ballot over the early favorite, former New York governor William Seward.

Priebus has been studying history and the rule-books in preparation for what may turn out to be his party’s first contested convention since 1976 — that is, a convention at which no candidate

GOP takes time out as candidates press on

WASHINGTON

arrives with a lock on the nomination — and perhaps even the first convention to require multiple ballots since 1948.

If that happens, he doesn’t expect the convention to require extra days to get things done, though he cautions that “not everyone is going to be able to give the great speech about their state every time they vote. We’re going to have to go through it: Wisconsin, Wyoming, right down the line.

Priebus sat down at Republican headquarters to discuss the road ahead with USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series, seated just beneath a portrait of President Reagan. Reagan was the last challenger to try to turn the tide at a national convention, though President Gerald Ford managed to win over enough delegates to hold the nomination four decades ago. Reagan prevailed four years later, in 1980.

The rules will be set by the convention delegates themselves as an opening order of business.

The 2016 convention could choose to revise the rules set four years ago, when former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had the nomination in hand. “It’s ... kind of silly to believe that the Romney delegates would write the rules for a convention in 2016 that, at this point, would be made up mostly of (Texas Sen.

Cruz and Trump delegates,” Priebus says.

That said, he is skeptical that one controversial rule imposed in 2012 is likely to be changed. It requires a candidate to have the support of a majority of delegates in eight states to have his or her name placed in nomination. Only Trump and Cruz are likely to cross that threshold. Ohio Gov. John Kasich probably won’t.

He’s also dismissive of the idea, floated by some who oppose Trump, that the convention could turn to a knight-in-shining-armor as the nominee to rescue a deadlocked convention, someone like House Speaker Paul Ryan or Romney. “Highly, highly unlikely,” Priebus says. “I think our candidate is someone who’s running.”

WASHINGTON Approaching a time-out in the Republican presidential race, Donald Trump is continuing his efforts to rally Republicans behind his front-running candidacy, while Ted Cruz and John Kasich are seeking to block the New York billionaire from nailing down a majority of delegates ahead of the July convention.

A day after winning big in Arizona, Trump took to Twitter to call for party unity: “Hopefully the Republican Party can come together and have a big WIN in November, paving the way for many great Supreme Court Justices!”

Cruz, who easily won the Utah caucuses Tuesday, told CNN that Republicans are “uniting behind our campaign as the only campaign that has beaten Donald Trump over and over again, and that can beat Donald Trump.”

After Tuesday’s results, Trump leads the GOP field with 739 delegates, followed by Cruz with 465, according to the Associated Press. The third remaining Republican candidate, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, has 143

delegates.

The campaigns must wait nearly two weeks for the next delegate contest, an April 5 primary in Wisconsin.

In his effort to overtake Trump, Cruz picked up two prominent Republican endorsements on Wednesday, former GOP primary opponent Jeb Bush and the anti-tax organization Club for Growth.

Trump, who targeted Bush early in the GOP campaign, responded to the endorsement via Twitter: “Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!”

Kasich, whose only win over Trump came in his home state of Ohio, has predicted that Trump will not have the required majority of delegates when the Republican convention opens July 18 in Cleveland.

Arguing that he is the Republican with the best chance of defeating likely Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, the Ohio governor said that an open, multiballot convention would turn to him as the nominee. “Nobody’s going to go to the convention with enough delegates,” Kasich said Wednesday in Wauwatosa, Wis.

ONE BOMB IN BRUSSELS ATTACK FAILED TO GO OFF Police find explosives, suicide note, on tip from taxi driver Doug Stanglin and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Belgian police, tipped off by a taxi driver after a pair of terror bombs killed at least 31 people, discovered a bomb-making factory in a Brussels neighborhood and a note left in a computer by a suicide bomber who feared being swept up in an manhunt, officials said Wednesday.

In response to Tuesday’s attacks at Brussels airport and a downtown subway stop, Belgian authorities launched a massive manhunt for several suspects they believe are linked to a Belgian terror network and may be preparing to strike again. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the explosions.

Paul Van Tigchelt, head of Belgium’s terrorism threat body, said Wednesday that the country is keeping the terrorism threat level at its highest mark, indicating danger of an imminent attack.

Police are especially keen to find one man seen in a surveillance photo with two other terrorists at the airport Tuesday

Reports link Brussels bomber to Paris Airport assailant made Paris bombs

The man suspected of building bombs used in the Paris attacks last year was one of two suicide bombers who died in the Brussels airport attack, media outlets reported Wednesday.

The Associated Press, citing unnamed European authorities, reported officials identified the bomber as Najim Laachraoui based on DNA samples from the airport blast. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to divulge details of the Belgian investigation.

The disclosure is the first evidence linking the deadly rampage in Paris that killed 130 in

November to Tuesday’s attacks in Brussels that left more than 30 dead.

Earlier Wednesday, prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said Ibrahim El Bakraoui, 29, was the other airport suicide bomber and his brother, Khalid, 27, was the subway suicide bomber who detonated his device an hour later at a downtown station.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Turkey deported Ibrahim last year because it suspected him of being a mili-

tant. He was deported to the Netherlands at his request after his native Belgium failed to establish a connection to terrorism, Erdoğan said. Both nations were notified, he added.

Khalid in recent months was the subject of an Interpol “red notice,” an international alert saying he was wanted on terrorism charges.

Video footage from the airport shows Ibrahim walking between two other men at Brussels Airport shortly before the fatal blasts. Authorities said earlier Wednesday that the man on the left was the second suicide bomber but they had not yet identified him. The reports of Laachraoui’s identification would make him that bomber.

Police are still searching for the man in the pale clothing and hat, who is believed to be a third suspect who fled the airport, leaving behind a 35-pound bomb that failed to detonate.

morning. The man, wearing a hat and light-colored clothing, was pushing a cart carrying a 35pound bomb, but abandoned it and fled for unknown reasons.

Authorities said a higher death toll was avoided because the bomb did not go off. It was later detonated by police in a controlled explosion.

Authorities have not identified the man, but confirmed the names of two of the four terrorists as Ibrahim El Bakraoui, 29, an airport suicide bomber identi-

death on Facebook, saying, “This tragedy today touched the doors of my family this morning in the Brussels airport, when my sister Adelma Tapia died in the terrorist attack and was not able to survive this jihadist attack that we’ll never understand.”

The New York Times reported Delcambe and Maureen were injured, while Alondra escaped unharmed.

MORMON MISSIONARIES

Three American missionaries from Utah — Richard Norby, 66, Joseph Empey, 20, and Mason Wells, 19, — went to the airport to drop off a fellow missionary, Frenchwoman Fanny Clain, when the bombers struck, injuring all four.

For Wells, it must have seemed as if he were cursed — he was one block away from the Boston bombing in 2013 and was in France about two hours away from Paris during terror attacks there in November.

Tuesday, Wells’ father, Chad,

fied by a fingerprint, and his brother, Khalid, 27, who was the subway suicide bomber at the metro station. The two brothers were known to the police for past crimes unrelated to terrorism, RTBF reported.

Authorities caught a break when a taxi driver who saw the surveillance photo came forward to direct them to a house in the Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek where they discovered a bomb-making factory, complete with explosives, chemicals and nails used as shrapnel. They also found an Islamic State flag.

While scouring the neighborhood, police also found in a trash can the computer containing a suicide note from Ibrahim El Bakraoui.

In the note, El Bakraoui expressed worry that he might be caught in a manhunt spawned by the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, who police say confessed to his role in the Paris attacks in November that killed 130 people.

Abdeslam’s lawyer said his client is cooperating with police.

“Being in a hurry, I don’t know what to do, being searched for everywhere, not being safe. If it drags on it could end up with me in a prison cell next to him,” El Bakraoui wrote in the suicide note in an apparent reference to Abdeslam.

Clinton backs alliances in fight against terrorism GOP rivals’ plans are ‘wrong,’ ‘dangerous’ Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton broadened her critique of Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and their responses to the terrorist attacks in Brussels, calling them “wrong” and “dangerous” approaches that would alienate U.S. allies and proliferate the terrorist threat.

In a foreign policy address Wednesday at Stanford University, Clinton took aim at both presidential candidates, while also proposing intensified air strikes, more support for Arab and Kurdish ground fighters and greater efforts to apprehend those who enable Islamic State jihadists.

GETTY IMAGES The former Clinton secretary of State, in rebuking Cruz, said it would be a “serious mistake to begin carpet bombing civilian areas into oblivion” in Syria and Iraq and “treating American Muslims like criminals.” The Texas senator is proposing stepped-up “patrols” of Muslim areas, something Trump said he agreed with.

Clinton also argued that the U.S. must reinforce critical alliances, particularly with NATO. The day before the terrorist strike that killed at least 31 in the heart of the European Union, Trump said the U.S. should rethink its involvement in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Clinton called NATO “one of the best investments America has ever made” and cited European solidarity with the U.S. after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“Now it’s our turn to stand with Europe,” she said, adding, “If Mr. Trump gets his way, it’ll be like Christmas in the Kremlin.”

Trump said the United States was “taking care” of Ukraine and “paying disproportionately” to major European countries. He later clarified that the U.S. should decrease its spending and not its role.

SUPREME COURT DIVIDED OVER ‘LITTLE SISTERS’ CASE

Deadlock likely in clash pitting religious liberty, birth control Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON An epic legal clash between religious liberty and reproductive rights left the Supreme Court deeply divided Wednesday, raising the likelihood that the justices will deadlock over a challenge by religious nonprofits to the federal government’s “contraceptive mandate.”

In a contentious series of cases that pits the Catholic Church and other religious believers against the Obama administration in the midst of a presidential election, the justices split along familiar lines, with liberals skeptical of the religious groups’ claims and conservatives empathetic.

Unlike in 2014, when the court ruled 5-4 in favor of the Hobby Lobby craft-store chain and other objectors, only eight justices heard the non-profits’ challenge in the wake of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death last month.

That makes it much tougher for the non-profits to win; a 4-4 tie would uphold lower court verdicts in different parts of the country, all but one of which upheld the government mandate.

The justices also could decide to hear the case again when they are back to full strength. Yet with President Obama and Senate Republicans at loggerheads over the nomination of federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland that could take another year or more.

On one side Wednesday, the court’s four liberal justices argued that the government has accommodated groups such as the Little Sisters of the Poor by allowing them to cede birth control coverage to their insurers or third-party administrators. Exempting the

“It can’t be ‘all my way,’ ” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said.

“There has to be an accommodation, and that’s what the government tried to do.”

On the other side, the court’s conservatives said the government should not be able to “hijack” the insurance plans of religious charities, schools, universities and hospitals against their moral beliefs.

“It’s a question whether you want the employee to sign a paper or you want the Little Sisters to sign a paper,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. “In the one case, it’s an administrative burden. ... In the other case, it’s a violation of a basic principle of faith.”

The cases are the latest in a series of disputes pitting the rights of religious groups and businesses against the government’s efforts to impose national standards.

Wednesday’s oral arguments, which stretched for 90 minutes rather than the usual hour, focused on appeals from religious non-profits to the government’s requirement that insurance plans include all common types of contraceptives at no cost to workers.

The government lets them leave that responsibility to their insurance plans, but the groups say that still implicates them in an objectionable process.

Their pleas for relief won vigorous backing from some justices, including Roberts and Samuel

Alito, who dominated the questioning in the voluble Scalia’s noticeable absence. Alito noted the organizations have argued that “this presents an unprecedented threat to religious liberty in this country.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is likely the deciding vote in the case, appeared to be against the government. “It seems to me that that’s a substantial burden” on the religious non-profits, he said.

Yet Kennedy didn’t buy the argument floated by Noel Francisco, one of two lawyers who argued the religious groups’ cases, that they deserved the same exemption given to churches and other purely religious institutions.

“It’s going to be very difficult for this court to write an opinion which says that once you have a church organization, you have to treat a religious university the same,” he said.

And Justice Elena Kagan disputed Francisco’s comparison to the mandate’s other exemptions, such as employer insurance plans without birth control coverage that are permitted during a transition period, or small businesses with fewer than 50 employees who do not have to provide health coverage.

“There’s not a law in town that doesn’t have exceptions like that,” Kagan said.

Justice Stephen Breyer, who often tries to strike a compromise with his more conservative colleagues, said some burdens are the price of being “a member of society.” He drew comparisons to Quakers paying taxes that finance wars or Christian Scientists receiving emergency medical treatment.

Most lower courts have backed the government, ruling that the accommodation provides a sufficient buffer. One appellate court went the other way last year, creating a split that only the Supreme Court can resolve.

Nabisco rolls out layoffs in Chicago USA TODAY

Snack giant Nabisco on Wednesday began the process of laying off hundreds of workers at its Chicago factory as it expands operations in Mexico, despite facing criticism for the move from White House hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Nabisco is expected to cut 277 workers this week — the first wave in a total of 600 layoffs — as the company that makes Oreos, Chips Ahoy and Nilla Wafers shifts work to a Mexico plant where it has invested $130 million in a new production line.

Nabisco issued a 60-day notice to affected employees in mid-January about the layoffs and “that group of employees are now leaving the business,” said Laurie Guzzinati, a spokeswoman for Nabisco’s parent company, Mondelez International.

Republican Trump and Democrat Clinton have criticized Nabisco for the move.

Ahead of last week’s Illinois primary, Clinton met with workers impacted by the layoffs and spoke briefly with Mondelez CEO Irene Rosenfeld in hopes of persuading her to reconsider the move. Executives for Mondelez, which generated more than $30 billion in revenue last year, say the company will save $46 million annually with the cuts and shift in production to its more efficient factory line in Mexico.

“My understanding is that Irene Rosenfeld reinforced (to Clinton) our commitment to the Chicago bakery and the U.S. market overall, where we’ve got a strong manufacturing presence and approximately 20,000 employees,” Guzzinati said.

Trump, who was once a pitchman for the Oreo, has vowed to boycott the product.

JUSTICE FILES $20B BP OIL SPILL DEAL WITH COURT The Justice Department has asked a federal court in New Orleans to approve its record $20 billion settlement with BP in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill along the Gulf Coast. In October, Justice announced the settlement, which includes a $5.5 billion civil penalty, the largest in the history of environmental law, and $8.1 billion in damages claims. A related deal requires BP to pay $5.9 billion to state and local governments. The agreement will fund restoration of plant and wildlife habitats tainted by the spill of 3 million barrels of oil in April 2010.

An Israeli digital forensics firm that’s had a history of working with the FBI was thrust into the international spotlight Wednesday as cadres of hackers and journalists tried to figure out who had managed to hack into an encrypted iPhone — without Apple’s help.

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Cellebrite, a company that specializes in extracting information from cellphones, was the mysterious “outside party” that came forward and offered to help the FBI gain access to an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., killers.

The potential for this hack enabled the Department of Justice to ask for an eleventh-hour postponement in its hearing over a court order, fought by Apple, that the iPhone creator write a software override to the terrorist’s phone.

Infamous cyber-security pioneer John McAfee also claimed Cellebrite was assisting the FBI, though he declined to reveal how he found out about the arrangement.

NISSAN GT-R

Nissan’s redesigned GT-R sports a quieter interior and more drive power. It has a six-cylinder, 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged engine with 565 horsepower. Engineers stiffened the body structure, integrated a new suspension and fitted the vehicle with 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. The sporty model, first introduced in 2007, got an enlarged “V-motion” grille with a matte chrome finish and an upgraded front spoiler and bumpers.

It has its signature four-ring tail lights but adds aerodynamic design features, such as side air vents near the quad exhaust tips, improving airflow while in motion. The company did not reveal pricing, but the 2016 GT-R starts at more than $101,000.

SUBARU IMPREZA

At a time when automakers are focused on unveiling crossovers and SUVs, Subaru, an automaker whose identity is tied closely to SUVs, revealed a new Impreza sedan and Impreza hatchback.

The Japanese automaker said the Impreza’s new platform will be the basis of several additional models. The Impreza has been redesigned inside and out, has new in-car technology and more space than the outgoing model.

Subaru has logged impressive sales gains in the U.S. in recent years, largely because its small, all-wheel-drive crossovers have been launched at the right time to capitalize on the growing popularity of all vehicles in those segments. But today, Subaru said Millennials still want cars.

“The new Impreza will set a

Instead of dishing out a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or an electric vehicle, Hyundai did all three — in a single car.

new standard in the compact segment,” said Subaru President Thomas Doll.

The new Impreza, which has been criticized for being underpowered, includes a revised 2.0liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 152 horsepower — four more than the outgoing version.

The new Impreza will go on sale at the end of this year. Subaru did not announce pricing but said it would be about the same as the current model.

Trader Hayes to pay $1.24M for his role in Libor rigging Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Imprisoned ex-Citigroup and UBS trader Tom Hayes was ordered to pay $1.24 million Wednesday for his role in a conspiracy to manipulate global benchmark interest rates.

Hayes, the first individual found guilty of rigging the London Interbank Offered Rate known as Libor, must comply with the payment order within a set time or face three additional years on his 11-year prison sentence, Great Britain’s Serious Fraud Office said.

Justice Jeremy Cooke issued the confiscation order after con-

cluding that would Hayes have been less highly paid except for his involvement in the profitboosting conspiracy, the SeAFP/GETTY IMAGES rious Fraud Hayes to pay Office said. in profit plot.

“The SFO provided the court with all the available information and the outcome is a substantial confiscation order, which Mr. Hayes will need to satisfy or face a further period of imprisonment,” said Mark Thompson, who heads the office’s Proceeds of Crime Division.

Hayes was convicted in August on eight counts of conspiracy to defraud for what prosecutors alleged was his role at the heart of a conspiracy that sapped investor confidence in financial markets.

Libor represents the benchmark rates, in major world currencies, that global banks would charge each other for short-term loans. The benchmark is used to set rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, loans and credit cards.

British prosecutors alleged Hayes was the ringmaster of a group of more than two dozen others who conspired to move Libor rates up or down to increase their profits.

But six traders accused in the plot won acquittals in January.

CELLEBRITE

A technician working for Cellebrite, which is based near Tel Aviv, extracts information from a phone and tablet.

Within Cellebrite’s mobile forensics division, it has developed a mobile-extraction device, a “very sophisticated” product, McAfee told USA TODAY. The product is tantamount to spyware, said McAfee, founder of that namesake security firm and more recently known for escapades after he sold that firm, including his time on the lam related to a Belize murder investigation.

Cellebrite was unable to provide a comment because of the ongoing investigation, the company said in a statement to USA TODAY. The FBI declined to comment on the report.

The company, based in Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, has an affiliate in Parsippany, N.J., and affiliates in Europe and Asia.

It has a history of working with the FBI. In 2013, the FBI purchased two kits for extracting data from cellphones from Cellebrite. According to the procurement documents, the Cellebrite system can “quickly extract phonebook, pictures, videos, SMS messages, call histories” and deleted histories for rapid analysis.

Cellebrite on its website says it’s able to get past the passcode on iPhones running iOS 8, the operating system that Apple says carried an encryption so strong it couldn’t unlock it, even for police.

It’s earlier than the version that ran on the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook, however.

As the day wore on, analysts and other media outlets poked holes in the Cellebrite theory.

Daniel Kahn Gillmor, a staff technologist with the American Civil Liberties Union who had offered his own theory on how the iPhone could be hacked without Apple, said it seemed unlikely it was Cellebrite. His reasoning: The FBI had been working with the firm on other cases to get information from locked iPhones and could have discussed this with the agency far earlier.

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

Easy money and loose monetary policy boosts the appeal of socalled “risky assets,” which include stocks and high-yield corporate bonds. That’s a good thing when valuations are low, but “potentially dangerous” when prices of riskier assets get more expensive, or in Wall Street-speak overvalued or “excessively inflated,” John Higgins of investment firm Capital Economics explains in a report.

And that raises the question: Are risky assets so excessively inflated at the moment — and with central banks around the world still easing policy — that investors should worry about bubbles?

It’s hard to make a case for bubbles outside the U.S., says

Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse (CSGKF) on Wednesday said it would eliminate 2,000 more jobs and accelerate costcutting plans mapped out last year, saying “revenues have remained weak” in the first quarter of 2016.

Credit Suisse, with headquarters in Zurich, said it will speed up implementation of its cost-cutting plans.

unit. The new reductions put total job cuts announced to date at 6,000, with 2,800 implemented so far, the bank said.

The reductions will reduce the Global Markets division’s cost base from $6.6 billion to $5.4 billion by the end of 2018, the bank said. Additionally, the bank said it would further cut the unit’s size to $60 billion in risk-weighted assets, below the earlier plans to put the global market’s size at $85 billion in risk-weighted assets.

The moves come in response to downbeat performance. Credit Suisse projects first-quarter trading revenues will fall as much as 45% below the totals during the same period last year.

Krispy Kreme’s outlook isn’t sugarcoated

Q: Will doughnut chain be hot again?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Doughnut lovers know when Krispy Kreme’s food is most fresh — a light literally turns on. But it’s not so easy for investors to know when to be interested in the doughnut chain’s stock.

Shares of Krispy Kreme have been trying to regain their freshness this year, but the company’s flagging growth and high valuation get in the way. Following the company’s report Thursday of disappointing quarterly revenue, shares fell more than 5% to roughly $14.50 a share.

The stock has gone nowhere this year and has lost nearly a third of its value over the past 12 months. The most recent quarter’s results didn’t help. Krispy Kreme’s revenue grew just 4% in the quarter to just over $130 million, below expectations.

Longer term, revenue last fiscal year ended in January 2016 rose just 5.8%, which is down from the company’s 6.5% growth in the previous fiscal year and well below the 11.4% revenue growth it reported in fiscal 2012. Even as growth slows, the company’s valuation of 33 times trailing earnings makes the stock more expensive than the market.

Analysts, though, think eventually this stock will heat up. Revenue is seen growing 5.6% this year, but analysts still think the stock could worth $20.58 in 18 months if profit jumps 12.5% as expected.

high and inflexible cost base, exposure to illiquid inventory in fixed income, historically low levels of client activity and challenging market conditions has led to disappointing financial results,” said recently appointed Credit Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam.

“In this context, we have taken immediate action to reduce outsized positions in activities not consistent with our new strategy and systematically reduced our exposures,” said Thiam.

Taking on the CEO post in July with a mandate to turn around the bank’s weakened performance, Thiam has moved to cut

costs and reduce red ink. He announced 4,000 job cuts in February before further increasing the headcount reductions. Afterward, he asked the bank to cut his planned bonus.

Thiam projected a gross cost savings target of 1.7 billion Swiss francs for 2016, or 1.4 billion Swiss francs on a net basis. Looking further forward, Credit Suisse raised its 2018 net cost savings target from 2 billion Swiss francs to at least 3 billion Swiss francs.

Credit Suisse shares closed down 3 cents at $14.73 a share in U.S. trading. The stock closed up 0.91% on the Swiss SIX Exchange.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “Stop trying to create negativity, we will never subscribe to it. We are both very happy and have both moved on, so all the outlets reaching for gossip, it’s not 2014 anymore.” — Nick Cannon on Twitter to debunk rumors that his new song, ‘Oh Well,’ is a diss track about ex-wife Mariah Carey

WEST HOLLYWOOD

o date, a few viral karaoke videos have been the most the world has heard Tom Hiddleston sing.

That will change Friday, when Hiddleston, 35, makes his debut in the Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light, in which he impressively adopts the country legend’s distinct warble. He laughs.

“I apologize unreservedly” for those, the British actor says on a warm day in Los Angeles. Professionally, “I haven’t really sung before. I mean I was in musicals (in school), but I was always a singing actor. I was never in a band, I was never in the choir or anything like that.”

I Saw the Light is full of tumult, genius and pain, chronicling the country legend’s six years in infamy as Williams charted 33 hit singles until he died abruptly at the age of 29 in the backseat of a Cadillac in 1953.

“I thought about this a lot,” Hiddleston says. “You think of all of those people who burned twice as bright but not for long, like Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse and James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. There’s a club, what do they call it, the 27 club or something? Heath Ledger was 27.”

He continues: “They become canonized, because they lived at a pitch of such intensity just before the lights went out. And they become frozen in time, so there is never a moment where you see the maturation of their talent or their personality. In some respects, it’s basically a tragedy because you don’t know where they would have gone or how they would have developed.”

More than 60 years have passed since Williams’ death, and classics like Your Cheatin’ Heart, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry and Cold, Cold Heart still play on the radio.

I Saw the Light, which received shaky reviews at its debut at the Toronto Film Festival despite applause for Hiddleston’s performance, charts the genesis of those songs while folding in Williams’ tumultuous marriage to Audrey Williams

(Elizabeth Olsen), his unreliability and the ultimately fatal mix of alcohol and drugs he used in part to control chronic pain caused by spina bifida.

Hiddleston, who has become beloved to Marvel fans worldwide as the impish god Loki, embedded himself in Nashville for five weeks to get Williams right.

“There were some dark days where I just wasn’t sure if I was going to get it,” he admits. “There was a moment where I canceled everything. I canceled my life, I didn’t pick up the phone, I didn’t do anything else but what was related to Hank.”

Tom Hiddleston spent five weeks in Nashville preparing to play Hank Williams in I Saw the Light.

SAM EMERSON, SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

“He puts a lot of pressure on himself with everything he does,” says Olsen, adding that Hiddleston took on responsibility to do right by Williams’ legacy and family.

Skill-wise, director Marc Abraham calls Hiddleston “so facile it’s infuriating.” That means onset instead of staying in character, the actor easily switched between dialects.

“Let’s put it this way: When we would have a disagreement about how something was coming down, he reverted to the king’s English,” the director laughs.

Now, despite big-budget films such as Thor: Ragnarok and Kong: Skull Island in the wings, it’s Williams who stayed with Hiddleston: “Looking back at it, it was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done.”

Revamped ‘The Catch’ swings and misses Maybe ABC should have thrown this one back.

Or to be accurate, farther back, and for a bit longer. The Catch that you’ll see Thursday (10 ET/PT, ee out of four) is a revamped version of the series’ pilot, with a new executive producer, some new stars, a new visual flair and a new, lighter, caper-y tone in keeping with ABC’s Thursday Shondaland lineup, promoted as “crazy fun.”

The problem, beyond the fact that those promos have given away almost the entire plot of the premiere episode, is that the new changes are often an uncomfortable fit with the lingering remains of the old idea. What you get is a show that’s neither here nor there, with actors who aren’t always a good match for their roles and a tone that isn’t always a good match for the plot.

This latest effort from Shonda Rhimes’ company liberates the always welcome Mireille Enos from the damp drabness of The Killing and glams her up as L.A. private investigator Alice Vaughan.

Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos) is an L.A. private investigator tracking her con-artist former fiancé in The Catch. side-the-law problem solvers of which TV is so fond, a group you hire to protect you from con men and cat burglars. And, of course, the team also includes an unstoppable hacker.

At the moment, Alice and her team are close to catching a con artist who’s targeting their clients — until, through the magic of split-screens, we see him slip away. Dejected, Alice goes home to her rich, handsome fiancé,

played by Peter Krause. And as those promos have told you, her fiancé is the con man she has been chasing, and he’s about to con her out of her life savings.

This sets up an ongoing catand-mouse game — or as Alice puts it: “You want to play? Let’s play.” Eventually that playful tone may take hold, but in this first outing, the shift is way too abrupt. Alice has been betrayed and bankrupted, but the charac-

ter is given no time to let the emotional impact land because the show needs to get her into another fancy dress for some Mission: Impossible-type sting.

An equally troubling issue, particularly for a show that clearly wants to plant its flag in the Shondaland “sexy” territory, is that the two stars generate precious little onscreen heat. At 50, Krause is a more experienced actor than Damon Dayoub, 35, whom he replaced, and possibly a more dependable series lead who may be able to take the show in other directions. But the nice-guy placidity Krause projects here provides no sparks with Enos’ Alice. Rather than being seduced, Alice just seems to have been outsmarted, a change in dynamic the show has not accounted for, which is what happens when you shift gears on the fly.

It’s possible that in future episodes the remnants of the old ideas will fade and the new approach will gain a firmer foothold. But for that to matter, you have to assume in this packed TV age that people are willing to wait.

And that, as they say, is the catch.

MARYLAND GUARD MELO TRIMBLE LAUGHS before pulling up for a threepointer during practice Wednesday in Louisville, Ky.

Garagiola dies at 90 Phoenix — Former big-league catcher and popular broadcaster Joe Garagiola has died. He was 90. The Arizona Diamondbacks say Garagiola died Wednesday.

He had been in ill health in recent years.

Garagiola thrived in his post-retirement career as a glib baseball broadcaster and fixture on the “Today” show. He played eight seasons in the majors, but generations of fans knew him for his 57-year career in broadcasting.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Lions less than sharp in 12-2 loss

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll can live with a few mistakes on the field, but he was more than frustrated by the ones he saw during his team’s 12-2 loss against St. James Academy on Wednesday.

Stoll said the general sloppiness in the Lions’ home opener was “unacceptable.” Relays were botched. The Lions didn’t hold runners they way they wanted. After one hit, the Thunder took an extra base when the Lions were slow to get the ball back into the infield.

“We practice relays all the time, and to see the overthrows is just nauseating,” Stoll said. “They outhustled us, they outhit us, they outpitched us.

That falls on me, so we have to go back to work tomorrow.”

Trailing by three runs in the second inning, the Lions (0-2) loaded the bases with no outs when sophomore Devin Lauts and senior Ivan Hollins hit singles and senior Parker Kirkpatrick reached on an error. But they failed to capitalize with a flyout in short left field and a grounder into a double play.

LHS had only one hit over the next three innings — a single by senior Daonte Lowery — and

“That’s mentally draining,” said Lowery, who went 2-for-3 with a walk.

“You have bases loaded, you need to at least take one (run) in. That’s unacceptable.”

The Thunder (1-0) pounced on LHS starting pitcher Gavin Green-

wood with six runs on six hits in the first three innings, taking advantage of any pitch left up in the strike zone. Zach Storm hit a two-run double in the second inning, and Davis Ernsdorff smashed an RBI double to left in the third.

“Coach (Mike) Dudley and I just talked, and if you don’t get a quality

start, it’s very difficult to cover up with that,” Stoll said. “Gavin is going to be fine. He has a chance to be really, really good for us. He elevated some pitches in counts when we didn’t need it elevated, and they made us pay.

They can really swing the bats.”

After St. James took a 6-0 lead in the third in-

ning, LHS junior lefthanded pitcher Cade Burghart tossed two scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and forcing a few routine pop flies.

Sophomore right-hander Ethan Taylor added a scoreless frame in the sixth inning, using his velocity and off-speed pitches to keep St. James hitters off balance.

“I wasn’t that surprised. I knew they had it in them,” Lowery said of Burghart and Taylor. “I thought it was awesome, though, to see that happen.”

In the sixth inning, the Lions finally broke through with a pair of runs. After Lowery and sophomore Reese Carmona hit back-to-back singles, Lowery scored on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Lauts, and Carmona scored on a wild pitch.

But St. James closed the door on any potential comeback with six runs in the seventh inning, including an RBI triple

by Lucas Scheele in the right-center gap.

Of course, the Lions would rather make mistakes now than later in the season, but that didn’t make them any easier to deal with.

“At the same time, it sucks losing,” Lowery said. “It sucks making those mistakes either way.”

Ex-Kansas QB Cummings works during Pro Day

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Wednesday afternoon, after almost an entire year away from football, former Kansas University quarterback Michael Cummings was back on the turf throwing passes.

Cummings, who was injured and lost for his senior season during last year’s spring game in late April, was one of 11 former JayCummings h a w k s participating in KU’s annual pro timing day in front of a handful of NFL scouts.

And, given the fact that he had spent most of that time rehabbing from knee surgery, Cummings fared pretty well in the various combine-style drills designed to test everything from speed and strength to intelligence and agility.

Weighing in at 5-foot9, 225 pounds, Cummings ran a 4.68-second 40-yard dash and completed 21 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press while displaying a 29-inch vertical.

Cummings was not the fastest or the strongest or most athletic former Jayhawk to participate on Wednesday, but secondyear KU coach David Beaty said he was happy to see the perseverance of the former Kansas QB who never truly got the chance to play for him.

“It was great to see

Mike back out on the gridiron today,” Beaty said. “I think I saw one ball hit the ground in all his throws. The kid has something to him that I haven’t seen in many before. I know he had a great showing, and I know that somebody is gonna have a great surprise show up to camp.”

As expected, a pair of defensive linemen stole the show in the bench press. Former Miami Hurricane Corey King, who played one season at Kansas, measured 6-1, 282 and ripped off 32 reps in the bench. He was outdone only by former walk-on T.J. Semke, 6-1, 250, who recorded 37 reps, three more than any player at the NFL combine back in February.

Semke also jumped 32 inches and ran a sub5-second 40-yard dash, putting him in the top five in both categories.

In the most popular category at most pro days, former wide receiver Tre’ Parmalee ran the fastest 40 time, clocked at 4.53 seconds. Five other Jayhawks, Cummings and Semke, running backs Taylor Cox (4.63) and De’Andre Mann (4.57) and cornerback Ronnie Davis (4.6) also ran times faster than 5 seconds.

Mann had one of the best days of the bunch.

His 38-inch vertical was the best mark registered, and he finished second in the broad jump (10 feet, 3 inches), third in the three-cone drill (7.06 seconds) and third in the shuttle drill (11.63 seconds).

Larry Brown helped mold ‘Turg,’ Self ————

Maryland, KU coaches tapped into mentor’s ‘wealth of knowledge’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — Wisdom often is passed down from elders to youngsters, experienced veterans to wide-eyed rookies.

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self and Maryland coach Mark Turgeon — whose teams will face off at KFC Yum! Center tonight in the Sweet 16 — both had the opportunity to tap into this concept early in their coaching careers while working under the legendary Larry Brown.

Turgeon, a Topeka native who also played for Brown at Kansas from 1983-87, worked for the former Kansas head coach for two seasons after graduation. And Self, who played at Oklahoma State from 1982-85, started his career as a graduate assistant on Brown’s KU staff and wore a suit and tie during one of Turgeon’s final seasons in a Kansas uniform.

As time has gone by, both have ascended to the top of their profession, along with other Brown disciples such as John Calipari, Gregg Popovich, Kevin Ollie and others.

And Self said Wednesday that the opportunity to see basketball through Brown’s eyes did won-

BOTH HEAD COACHES in tonight’s late South Regional semifinal in Louisville, Ky. — Maryland’s Mark Turgeon, at right in photo at left, and Kansas’ Bill Self, above — learned the trade under former KU coach Larry Brown. ders for his development and that of other young coaches like him.

“The fact that you can be around a guy like him early in your career, he can influence you the rest of your life,” Self said of Brown. “You can learn 70 percent of what you’re going to learn in that first year or two just because you don’t know anything, and he’s a wealth of knowledge.”

Self added that Brown

always was willing to share that knowledge with anyone who would listen. He and Turgeon often were at the front of the line for these impromptu tutoring sessions, and both continue to incorporate the things they learned from Brown into their coaching styles today.

“He didn’t hide it from us,” Self said. “He shared it. I guarantee Turg still does the same drills he

did with coach back in the day. And I don’t know if there’s more of a sign of respect that a coach could give another coach than actually believing in things that he learned 30 years ago.”

Heck, Turgeon, whose Terrapins (27-8) advanced to today’s South Regional semifinal with a win over Hawaii on Sunday, even used an old, “really bad” Brown joke during a timeout in that victory. Which

one? That he wouldn’t divulge. But he said he shared a laugh about it with Brown afterward.

Turgeon, now 51 and 0-6 all-time against his alma mater, remembers his days as a standout at Topeka’s Hayden High like yesterday.

“Time goes fast,” he said. “I grew up with (former KU broadcaster) Max Falkenstien. Max taught me a few curse words I never knew before.”

He also easily and humbly recalls how he ended up at Kansas.

“I was down on my knees begging coach Brown to take me,” he said. “That’s what it came down to. I got very lucky.

There was a coaching change. The coach happened to be 5-11 like me.

And thank God they had 15 scholarships back then.”

Turgeon continued: “And it was a one-year deal. It’s like, ‘Hey, you got one shot. If (it) doesn’t work out, you won’t be here next year.’

So it worked out. It just changed my life, obviously, for the better.”

Maryland’s players said their fifth-year head coach does not bring up Kansas or his time with the Jayhawks often. But they are aware of Turgeon’s ties to KU, and a few said the

topic comes up a couple of times a year.

“The main thing he told us about was his Final Four experience,” sophomore Jared Nickens said of KU’s 1986 season that ended in the national semifinals. “He was just trying to stress to us how fun it is to be in a moment like this.”

Added junior forward Damonte Dodd: “Someone just showed me a video of him playing, and it was actually hilarious. Everything he talks about as a coach that he wants us to do, especially defensively, that’s what he was doing.”

This week, of course, the focus has been more on the present than the past. And though Turgeon admitted earlier in the week that he would rather not face his alma mater in this tournament, he said playing the Jayhawks has become much easier to stomach than it was back in 2008, when he faced the Jayhawks for the first time during his initial season at Texas A&M. “The Kansas thing is not that weird to me anymore,” he said. “It was a little bit that way the first time we played, but you get used to it. ... I’d rather play them in a national championship game than a Sweet 16 game, but here we are, so we’ll play it.”

VIEWED THROUGH THE LEGS OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD HUNTER MICKELSON, FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS PULLS UP for a shot in front of forward Jamari Traylor during practice Wednesday at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Class of 2014 by Rivals. com, compared to latebloomer Mason’s No. 76 rating.

“I usually don’t pay attention to the hype. I pay attention to what we can control as a team, as a group. I pay attention to scouting report, pay attention to detail,” Mason said Wednesday before a short shootaround in Yum! Center.

And KU’s current scouting report confirms Trimble is a handful to control.

“He’s a good guard.

He’s quick, good with the ball, good off ball screens,” Mason said.

“He’s a good overall player. It’s fun to guard good players, just to compete.

It’s an all-around fun game. I can’t wait to get out there.”

Mason confirmed it’d be a difficult assignment, but one he looks forward to.

“They have a lot of different actions, but it definitely will be me to start out,” he said of being assigned to guard Trimble.

“It could be anyone from there because of the different things they do. It depends what they will be running. I think most

of the game I definitely will have him.”

Self said Mason vs.

Melo is a dandy confrontation between elite college lead guards.

“Can Frank do a good job on Melo, because when Melo is on top of his game and when he’s in attack mode and he’s playing with ease, he’s as good as any guard in the country?” Self said.

“It will be a great matchup for Frank. It will be a great matchup for Melo, too, because both have to guard each other. It’s just not a one-way street.”

Mason downplayed some nagging injuries: “My (bruised left) foot only bothers me when I sit around or get still.

If I’m laying around, it’s sore to walk on. When I get treatment and tape, I’m good on the court.”

He said this obviously is more than a MasonMelo matchup.

“There are good guards on both sides,” said Mason, whose backcourt partner, Graham, has 137 assists this season, just 30 fewer than Mason, while averaging 11.4 ppg. Maryland counters with 6-4 guard Rasheed Sulaimon (124 assists, 11.1 ppg). The Terps have a plethora of big men in 6-9 Robert Carter, 6-11 Diamond Stone, 6-9 Jake Layman and 6-11 Damonte Dodd.

“They’ve got good bigs.

We’ve got good bigs. It’ll come down to who wants it more and who executes the game plan and pays attention to it,” Mason said.

Mason spent a great deal of time Wednesday talking about his buddy, Dodd, a 6-11, 250-pound Terp junior. Dodd was Mason’s roommate at Massanutten Military Academy in Virginia.

“He was my guy back in prep school,” Mason said, smiling. “We text a few times. We Facetime a few times. He called me a couple days ago.

We didn’t talk too much, but I had a chance to talk to him. It’s a good feeling to get a chance to play against my old prep school teammate in the Sweet 16.”

Mason recalled the two having to rise out of bed at 5:50 every day for marching and drills.

“It wasn’t terrible. It made me a better person,” Mason said. “Back then I used to complain about it a little bit.”

Seems they didn’t even need to use the buddy system to make sure they were up and at it and never late.

“Most of the time we had a bell that rung every morning. That pretty much did it,” Mason said.

Kansas’ Wayne Selden Jr. played AAU ball with some of the Terps, in-

cluding Layman, who averages 11.7 ppg and 5.3 rpg and Jaylen Brantley (2.4 ppg off bench).

“They are a very good team. We want to play the best,” Selden said.

“It’s going to be a good game. It will come down to who wants it more.

I think this is the most focused I’ve been in my career,” the junior added. “When you want it so bad, you are willing to focus. No outside distractions. I’m locked in. I think we all are. I feel we have a special group. We don’t want to leave this saying, ‘What if?’”

Meanwhile, focusing back on the coach/point guard discussion, Self, who helped coach Turgeon when Self was a member of Larry Brown’s staff during the 1985-86 Final Four season, said, “Turg was a good player.

He wasn’t very big, but he got all the talent out of that 5-10, 160-pound frame he possible could.

“His teams are sound.

He’s very clever in how they use their personnel.

He’s a terrific coach, an elite coach and has Maryland playing extremely well. This is a hard matchup because we really think a lot of their team.”

Tonight’s winner advances to Saturday’s Elite Eight game against Villanova or Miami.

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks visit Churchill Downs

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — A trip to Louisville wouldn’t be complete without an excursion to Churchill Downs, site of the worldfamous Kentucky Derby.

“We had dinner there last night. The food was good. And it was interesting, too,” KU freshman forward Carlton Bragg Jr. said. “They showed us pictures of the jockeys and stuff, how short they were, what they go through to be a jockey. It was amazing.”

KU freshman forward Cheick Diallo, who hails from Mali, said it classified as a “new experience.”

“I don’t really care about horse stuff,” Diallo said with a smile. “I know horses are a lot of money here. I was like, ‘That’s a lot of money people spend on horses.’ In my country, we have a lot of donkeys, but horses, no. If you have a horse in Mali, it means you have a lot of money.”

The 6-foot-9 Diallo has never ridden a horse.

“I’ve been on a donkey.

Some of them go fast,” Diallo said.

Of the trip to Churchill Downs, sophomore guard Devonté Graham said: “I’m not a big horse-

I’ve never actually watched one (race), but being there, it was a great experience. You get to see historic stuff like that. It’s nice.”

“I’m not big on horse racing,” senior forward Jamari Traylor said, “but it was still a good experience to go out there and see some of the tradition and be part of something like that. I know it’s big, especially here. So it was good to go out there and learn a little bit about it.”

Coach Bill Self wanted to make sure to have the

Jayhawks witness such a historic track.

“It was a special deal for our fellas,” Self said.

“People here are nice, very friendly. As long as we play well, I think I’ll really, really enjoy this place.” l

Injury update: Self said Frank Mason III (foot, hip) is good to go. “I’ve said this before: Frank’s a little bit like Jim Brown when he gets tackled. It takes him forever to get back to the huddle. I think Frank’s fine. I think his health is fine. I think he’s had the nagging things

that obviously bother everybody. Does his hip hurt? A little bit. Does his foot hurt? A little bit. But not to the point where I think he’ll be less than 100 percent when the adrenaline gets flowing.” l

Kansas is hoops heaven: Self was asked to make a case for Kansas City being more a mecca for Kansas basketball than Kentucky: “I think, obviously, in the Bluegrass State, everybody loves ball. I mean, that goes without saying. I can’t speak to television ratings, be-

cause I have no idea. But I will say that when you stop and think about, obviously, us being 30 miles away, Missouri being a couple hours away, KState being a couple of hours away, Wichita being three hours away, and then you look at the College Basketball Experience being there, the Hall of Fame (both in KC), and then you look at the NAIA national tournament being there and all the NCAA tournaments that have been played in Kansas City Municipal Auditorium, I think when you add up all the history, I think that you can make a case that Kansas is probably … Kansas City area is probably about as knowledgeable and historic a place that our game has seen.”

“You could say the same thing about Philadelphia, obviously. But Kentucky, unbelievable history, tradition and all these things. But when the inventor of the game is your first coach, I think it definitely gives you a leg up on some folks when you start talking about history.” l

Self on this year’s team: “I don’t know if I’ve enjoyed coaching a collective group more than what I have this year just

because it’s fun for them.

My guys don’t get near the credit they deserve for being as good of players as they are and NBA prospects. But at least that’s my opinion. But the bottom line is, they enjoy that underdog role.

They’re recruited to our place with the same expectations that (Andrew) Wiggins and (Joel) Embiid were recruited to our place. When people don’t talk about them, that gives them a chip, and I love teams that operate that way. But, still, yet they like each other and they basically — there’s one stat that matters, and that’s wins and L’s, wins and losses, and not individual performances.

And they’ve just been so much fun to be around.” l

KU freshman Bragg on Maryland: “Maryland’s really good. It’s going to be a challenge for us. Can we stop the transition?

They’ve got one of the best guards in the country, Melo Trimble. It’s going to be all about defense.” l

Halfcourt shots: KU’s Evan Manning and Lagerald Vick hit halfcourt shots in front of about 1,000 fans at the end of Wednesday’s shootaround at KFC Yum! Center.

We’re tering foul trouble and going to be going at it. block a shot here and There’s definitely a lot of there, it’s difficult to talent on both sides. It’s envision a path to victory going to be fun.”

Lucas doesn’t have a cocky bone in his 6-10, 240-pound body, but he doesn’t lack confidence, either. It has grown at the same rate as his production.

“We like hearing how much talent they have because it’s a challenge to us to go out there and show how good of a team we are,” Lucas said.

He has produced double figures in rebounds six times, including a 12-rebound effort with three blocked shots in the second-round victory against UConn. His top back up, senior Jamari Traylor, was scoreless in 28 minutes in the two tourney games in Des Moines, Iowa. More important given his role, Traylor totaled 11 rebounds and five blocked shots in the two games.

“There are blocked shots and then there are BLOCKED SHOTS,” Lucas said. “It’s the way Jamari blocks shots that makes them contagious.”

Freshman Carlton Bragg Jr.’s ability to pull his man away from the hoop and his improving offensive rebounding could come in handy in stretches. Depending on foul trouble, freshman Cheick Diallo (nine points, four rebounds, a blocked shot against Austin Peay) might even get a call, even though he didn’t play vs. UConn.

Diallo said he improves daily in practice.

“I never let it go,” Diallo said. “I develop my game. I develop my post moves. I develop my shooting. I never let down just because I’m not playing a lot in games.”

Tournament experience, even though it came against an Austin Peay squad that in no way resembles Maryland, can’t be a bad thing in the event Diallo is needed.

“As coach said, ‘Cheick, go!’ I was not even nervous,” Diallo said of the Austin Peay game. “I was so excited to play.”

As a freshman, Cole Aldrich had a coming-out party against North Carolina. Might Diallo have his against Maryland?

If Lucas can avoid foul trouble, another area of improvement, Diallo might not be needed.

During Big 12 play, Lucas had five consecutive games in which he committed four or more fouls. He has committed three or fewer fouls in eight of nine games heading into tonight’s.

“Really, it’s just getting a sense early on what kind of game it’s going to be from the refs,” Lucas said. “So you have to adjust quickly. On top of that, if their guards get into the lane, just try to stay vertical. They’re letting us play if you can stay vertical. That’s big for me. If they initiate the contact, that’s a big emphasis this year, it’s not a foul on you. You can absorb as much as you can as long you can stay vertical. Then try to time it and get the ball (block the shot) later on.”

Lucas doesn’t need to score a point to play a huge role in a victory. He can have a huge impact on the game by not letting Carter and/or Stone have big games on the boards and the scoreboard.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Sweet statistical oddities abound ————

Numbers get wonky in pressure cooker of NCAA Tournament Villanova’s marksmanship While Maryland has cooled off from threepoint range, Villanova has heated up. The Wildcats have made 48.9 percent of their three-point attempts (23 of 47) in two NCAA Tournament games, well above their season percentage of 35.1 percent. Ryan Arcidiacono has shot 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. Villanova is sizzling from all over the floor, as the Wildcats shot 57.9 percent against UNC Asheville and shot 59.3 percent against Iowa.

By Steve Megargee Associated Press Sports Writer

The short sample size of NCAA Tournament play can create some statistical oddities.

A team that has struggled to rebound all season can suddenly dominate on the boards for a game or two. A role player can see his minutes increase or have a major scoring surge just in time for the postseason. Players and entire teams can heat up or fall into shooting slumps.

Here are some unusual NCAA Tournament statistics we’ve discovered involving teams whose national title hopes are still alive:

Syracuse rebounding Syracuse has a negative rebound margin this season and ranks 14th out of 15 Atlantic Coast Conference teams in that category. But the Orange outrebounded Dayton 48-28 and Middle Tennessee 37-35 in its first two NCAA Tournament games. Syracuse faces a much tougher task on the boards against Gonzaga, which ranks 20th among all Div. I teams in rebound margin. Gonzaga’s Domantas Sabonis is averaging 20 points and 13 rebounds in two tournament games.

Scoring outbursts for Miami’s Rodriguez, Texas A&M’s Caruso Miami’s Angel Rodriguez scored 24 points against Buffalo and had a career-high 28 against Wichita State. Rodriguez, a senior guard and team leader, averages 12.6 points per game and didn’t score 20 or more in any game the entire regular season. Texas A&M’s Alex Caruso is coming off a 25-point performance in a double-overtime victory over Northern Iowa.

Caruso, who is Texas A&M’s career leader in steals and assists, averages 8.1 points per game and had scored in double figures just once in the eight games leading up to the Northern Iowa game.

The Cavaliers hadn’t shot as high as 55 percent in a game since making 57.8 percent of their shots Jan. 30 against Louisville.

sinking a buzzer-beating three-pointer against Xavier, but this exceptional shooter also has had seven rebounds in each of Wisconsin’s first two NCAA Tournament games. The 6-4 junior averages only 2.8 rebounds per game. Before this tournament, Koenig never had recorded seven or more rebounds in a college game. Wisconsin next faces a Notre Dame team that realizes how critical it is for guards to help out on the boards. The Irish edged Stephen F. Austin 7675 thanks to guard Rex Pflueger’s tip-in with 1.5 seconds left.

Notre Dame G Matt Farrell’s minutes Notre Dame’s firstand second-round games have been the first two career starts for sophomore Matt Farrell. The 6-foot-1 guard has played 26.5 minutes per game in the NCAA Tournament, which is more than twice his season average of 12.3.

Farrell didn’t play at all in eight games this season.

Fighting Irish coach Mike Brey says he wanted to have an extra ball-handler on the floor to help out star guard Demetrius Jackson. Having an additional ball handler helps settle a team that became uncharacteristically turn-

Kansas G Frank Mason III’s shooting slump The NCAA Tournament’s No. 1 overall seed needs Mason to solve his recent shooting woes.

Mason has shot 3-of-15 overall and 0-of-6 from three-point range in the tournament. He has averaged 12.8 points per game this season while shooting 39 percent on threes.

Mason has helped in other ways by averaging four assists per game and shooting 11-of-12 from the free-throw line during the tournament.

Gonzaga G Eric McClellan’s surge McClellan’s scoring surge actually encompasses the whole month of March rather than just the NCAA Tournament.

He averaged 20.3 points in three West Coast Conference tournament games to give Gonzaga an automatic NCAA berth.

After scoring nine points in an NCAA first-round victory over Seton Hall, he had 22 against Utah.

McClellan, who averages 10.9 points per game, has over prone late in the sea- at least 20 points in three of his last five contests. son.

Maryland’s long-range troubles Maryland advanced to its regional semifinal without getting much of a three-point attack. The Terrapins are 10-of-41 from three-point range in the NCAA Tournament, but they’re making 67.3 percent of their shots from inside the arc. In a second-round victory over Hawaii, Maryland was 1-of-18 on three-pointers and 21 of 30 from two-point range.

Maryland has made 36.7 percent of its three-point attempts this season.

Indiana F Og Anunoby’s emergence Anunoby has scored 10.5 points per game in the NCAA Tournament, more than double the freshman’s season average of 4.9. He had 14 points against Chattanooga and seven more against Kentucky. He also had three blocks against Kentucky and made two steals in each of the Hoosiers’ first two NCAA Tournament games. Indiana hopes his athleticism can make a difference when the Hoosiers face North Carolina.

Friendship put on hold for ’Nova-Miami Louisville, Ky. (ap) — Friendship takes a backseat at the NCAA Tournament, especially with a berth in the Elite Eight on the line.

Just ask Villanova coach Jay Wright.

Wright has recruited and coached against Jim Larranaga for years. They grew close traveling together on Nike trips, sitting beside each other at AAU events or hitting balls on the golf course.

They also have swapped ideas for basketball drills.

They have spent so much time together that their wives became friends, too.

Throw all of that out of the window tonight — for a couple of hours, at least.

Wright and No. 2 seed Villanova will square off against Larranaga’s thirdseeded Miami Hurricanes in the South Region semifinal at the KFC Yum! Center.

“When you get to the Sweet 16, final eight, Final Four, that kind of goes away,” Wright said Wednesday of not wanting to coach against

Timothy D. Easley/AP Photo

VILLANOVA COACH JAY WRIGHT WATCHES HIS TEAM PRACTICE Wednesday in Louisville, Ky. friends or former assistants. “I don’t know why. Because you’re so focused on what you do, you’re so happy to be here. And usually, when you get to this point, it’s guys you know.”

The coaches have shared enough over the years that when Larranaga studies Villanova (315) he sees of lot of Miami;

the Wildcats use so many ball screens and multiple defenses that it’s almost a mirror image of his Hurricanes.

“I’ve just enjoyed getting to know him and exchanging drills with him and talking basketball,” Larranaga said.

This will be the fourth game between the coaches, with Wright winning

twice while Larranaga has the edge in their only NCAA Tournament meeting in 2011 with he was with George Mason, according to STATS. Now Larranaga has Miami (27-7) in the Sweet 16 for only the third time for a program that has never gone any further.

Yet. “We definitely want to

be the first group of guys to do that, and it will be a big accomplishment for us and the program,” Miami guard Sheldon McClellan said.

Some things to watch tonight: No pressure: Villanova is trying to reach its first Elite Eight since 2009, when the Wildcats last reached a Final Four.

These Wildcats have already held the first No. 1 ranking in school history when they sat atop the Top 25 three straight weeks in February. They handle pressure by embracing Wright’s approach that the worst thing that can happen to them is losing a game.

“The worst-case scenario in the NCAA is, lose in the first round,” senior forward Daniel Ochefu said. “We did that before. If we don’t get to the Sweet 16, we did that before. Now it’s just a different challenge.”

Senior Mini-Wright: guard Ryan Arcidiacono has played a program-record 140 games for Villanova, and the point guard

says he has the same mindset as his coach. It likely helps that both Arcidiacono and Wright both are from the same county in Pennsylvania (Bucks), though Arcidiacono played at a rival high school. “If he could still play, I think he would pick me as the player to play him,” Arcidiacono said.

Larranaga’s threepoint drill: Wright said he uses Larranaga’s philosophy on who’s allowed to shoot three-pointers while using numbers instead of colors. Larranaga allows players who hit 50 threes in five minutes to earn a green light to shoot, 4050 threes for a yellow light. Shooting 40 or fewer threes means don’t even think of shooting.

Sharp-shooting: Villanova has been averaging 81.8 points per game since Feb. 24, and the Wildcats shot even better during the first two games in this tournament. They shot 58.6 percent in beating UNC Asheville and Iowa.

Miami ranks 27th nationally, shooting 48 percent per game.

Indians’ power dooms Royals Goodyear, Ariz. (ap) — Tyler Naquin homered twice, and Francisco Lindor and Jason Kipnis also homered, powering the Cleveland Indians to a 7-6 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.

Naquin, the Indians’ first pick in the 2012 draft, hit his first two home runs of the spring. He also doubled and scored on an RBI single by Mike Napoli.

“Naquin’s doing everything he can do,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “We’ll get to a point where we start to do some things. You don’t want to do them too early, but he’s done a really good job.”

Lindor and Kipnis hit consecutive homers in the first inning. It was the first for Lindor and third for Kipnis, who also tripled and scored in the third.

Napoli signed with the Indians to play first base and designated hitter along with Carlos Santana. Napoli is hitting .455 this spring.

Mike Moustakas homered, and Reymond Fuentes singled with the bases loaded off Danny Salazar for the Royals in a sixrun third inning. Salvador Perez had two hits.

Salazar allowed six runs, five earned, in 21⁄3 innings.

“Salazar had a rough day. I think he’s better than that,” Francona said.

“I hope this doesn’t get in the way of his progression.

We wanted him to go five.

(Pitching coach) Mickey (Callaway) told him to go work on his legs.”

Kris Medlen allowed four home runs in 31⁄3 innings.

“The center fielder (Naquin), the young dude they have has such a great swing,” Medlen said. “Every mistake I made with the heater was absolutely smashed.”

BRIEFLY Kansas-Creighton baseball canceled Kansas University’s baseball game Wednesday at Creighton was called off because of the threat of severe weather in Omaha, Neb. No makeup date was scheduled. KU will open Big 12 play against West Virginia at 6 p.m. Friday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Kansas golfers fall to Oregon San Diego — Kansas University’s women’s golf team fell to Oregon, 4-1, in San Diego State’s March Mayhem at the Farms on Wednesday and placed eighth in the 16-team tournament.

KU senior Yupapaorn Kawinpakorn claimed to 3-up victory against Oregon’s Petra Salko in a match that ended early because Oregon had clinched the team match. Kawinpakorn split her matches in San Diego, 2-2.

“The biggest lesson we
