KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. DOES A ONE-HANDED PUSHUP Friday in the Jayhawks’ locker room at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. KU plays Villanova at 7:50 p.m. today in an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight matchup, and the winner moves on to the Final Four in Houston.

What you need to know about KU’s Elite 8 game today Heard on the Hill O bviously I don’t normally foray into sports on this blog.

But at this time of year in Lawrence, Kansas University basketball isn’t just sports, it’s news — and the further the team goes in the NCAA Tournament, the bigger news it becomes.

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

That said, here’s some news-you-can-use about what’s happening next.

KU beat Maryland (rather late) Thursday night to advance to the Elite Eight. The Jayhawks play the Villanova Wildcats at 7:50 p.m. (Central Time) today at KFC Yum! Center,

1 Arena Plaza, in Louisville, Ky. Whichever team wins heads to the Final Four.

Report shows Lawrence lost jobs in February

A

pparently the state of Kansas doesn’t consider it a “job” to paint your face Crimson and Blue, write odes to Wayne Selden Jr., make an unfortunate decision about a “Dirty Dozen” tattoo, and all the other things that go along with celebrating a 12th straight Big 12 championship. If such activities were counted as a job, Lawrence undoubtedly would not have posted a job

loss in the month of February.

State officials have released a report on job totals for Kansas metro areas, and Lawrence posted a 0.2 percent decline in jobs in February compared with February 2015 totals. To further prove my point, the metro area with the highest job growth for the month was Manhattan, where basketball and championships are more theoretical in nature.

Here’s a look at the job

numbers for metro areas as compiled by the Kansas Department of Labor: l Lawrence: down 0.2 percent, or 100 jobs l Manhattan: up 3.4 percent, or 1,500 jobs l Topeka: down 1 percent, or 1,100 jobs l Wichita: up 0.3 percent, or 900 jobs

The Lawrence Police Department is seeking around $1 million from the city to hire 17 more officers this month than the maximum currently allowed.

The request is in anticipation for what Police Chief Tarik Khatib called in a city memo an “unprecedented number of retirements” expected in the next four years. The police department is currently two short of the 152 staff it’s allowed to have, and it wants to hire 19 people this spring to start a nine-month training process. The over-hire is estimated to cost between $644,396 to $1,267,061, depending on how many people leave this year and how many qualified applicants are found.

The police department has increased its end-strength from 140 in 2003 to 152 today — too little of an addition to keep up with “the increased workload, complexity, technology challenges and community expectations,” the memo from Khatib and Police Capt. Anthony Brixius states.

“It may be additionally detrimental to department operations and service levels to allow the department to enter an under-authorized strength state,” the memo reads.

When they graduate from the academy and field training, the officers hired now would replace the 15 to 20 total expected to leave this year.

Bryan Kidney, the city’s finance director, said the City Commission will be asked Tuesday to establish a line-item budget with city reserves, giving the police department the extra funding — up to $1,267,061 — as the department needs it.

Jobs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A l Kansas City, Kan.: up 0.5 percent, or 2,200 jobs We’ll see what type of trend develops for Lawrence’s job market in 2016. Last year was a pretty good year for job growth, but that was preceded by a long period of stagnation or declines in the local job market.

In February, Lawrence would have seen even greater job losses, were it not for an influx of government jobs. The number of government employees in Lawrence grew by 800 people — or 4.7 percent — from February 2015 to February 2016. The number of private sector jobs during that time period dropped by 900 people, or 2.5 percent.

For what it is worth, job growth totals in the Manhattan metro — which includes not only Manhattan but also Junction City and Fort Riley — were greatly aided by government jobs. Government employment there grew by 11 percent, or 1,700 jobs.

Lawrence had two sectors that really were hit hard by job losses over the 12-month period. The goods-producing sector — which includes manufacturing of all types — declined by 7.4 percent or 400 jobs.

The category of professional and business services — which includes jobs such as business managers, researchers, and a variety of technical and scientific positions — dropped by 8.9 percent, or 500 jobs.

Lawrence had the largest percentage job losses of any metro area in the state in both the goods-producing and professional and business services category.

Here’s a look at how other metro areas did in the goods-producing sector: l Lawrence: down 7.4 percent, or 400 jobs l Manhattan: down 5.8 percent, or 300 jobs l Topeka: no change l Wichita: down 0.6 percent, or 400 jobs l Kansas City: down 0.4 percent, or 200 jobs Here’s a look at the professional and business services category: l Lawrence: down 8.9 percent, or 500 jobs l Manhattan: information unavailable l Topeka: down 3.1 percent, or 400 jobs l Wichita: up 2.8 percent, or 900 jobs l Kansas City: down 0.7 percent, or 600 jobs It has been awhile since I’ve written about job numbers in Lawrence, but I plan to do so more regularly in 2016.

Of course the place has more to do than what fit in my teaser.

“

If you add the government sector and the leisure and hospitality industry together, those two comprise 45 percent of our entire workforce.” one that community leaders never seem to stop fretting over, but oftentimes the public doesn’t have a lot of information about how the job market is actually performing.

So, here are some numbers from the February report that show how different Lawrence’s job market is versus other Kansas metro areas. Plus, I just want to give all of you the chance to say at upcoming KU watch parties, “I recently read some interesting numbers about Lawrence labor market composition.” If you say it near the bean dip, it is an excellent way to get the bean dip all to yourself.

One finding that shouldn’t be surprising is that government jobs — everything from KU employees to city of Lawrence workers — make up a large percentage of our workforce. In fact, in February, one out of every three employees in the Lawrence metro was a government employee.

Here’s a look at the percentage of government employees in each metro area: l Lawrence: 33 percent l Manhattan: 37 percent l Topeka: 24 percent l Wichita: 14 percent l Kansas City: 12 percent One other category that I found interesting, though, was the leisure and hospitality sector. A big part of that sector is restaurant and bar employees. Here’s a look at how Lawrence stacks up: l Lawrence: 12 percent l Manhattan: Not available l Topeka: 7 percent l Wichita: 10 percent l Kansas City: 8 percent If you add the government sector and the leisure and hospitality industry together, those two comprise 45 percent of our entire workforce.

Compare that to 20 percent in Kansas City.

Retail jobs in Lawrence account for another 10 percent of the workforce, which was pretty consistent with the other metro areas.

So, 55 percent of our workforce comes from government jobs, leisure and hospitality jobs and retail jobs. There are some important jobs in those categories, but they are not necessarily known to be the best-paying jobs in an economy.

The other category that I find interesting is the area of professional and business services category. This includes a lot of jobs that generally

ljworld.com 645 New Hampshire St. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748

are well thought of in the community. Things like researchers and engineers and corporate headquarter positions.

There is not much argument about bringing those types of jobs to town. With the research capabilities and brain power of KU, they also are the types of jobs Lawrence would seem to have some potential to attract.

Thus far, Lawrence is a bit of a laggard in the category. Here’s a look at the percentage of jobs in the professional and business services category: l Lawrence: 9 percent l Manhattan: Not available l Topeka: 11 percent l Wichita: 11 percent l Kansas City: 20 percent.

I don’t think it is a coincidence that Kansas City — led by Johnson County — generally has the highest incomes and also has the highest percentage of professionallevel jobs.

It is important to be realistic here, though.

Lawrence’s job market is always going to be significantly different from these other communities.

KU’s presence, for example, will always make us heavy on government jobs. Many of those jobs are good, too — as long as the Legislature keeps funding them.

For years, Lawrence with its large number of government jobs has been more insulated from swings in the economy.

It is no coincidence that Wichita is the most cyclical metro in the state and also has the largest percentage of workers in the goods-producing industry at 23 percent.

(Lawrence was last in that category at 9.4 percent, in case you are wondering.)

It is tough to say what the right mix of jobs in Lawrence should be. I wonder, though, if there will be more conversation about that in coming months.

I sense that Lawrence soon may enter a period where we do more strategic planning as a community. Certainly that has been something new City Manager Tom Markus has mentioned.

It may be that figuring out what types of jobs we want to work hardest at attracting may be a topic worthy of discussion.

But, not until I finish this bean dip.

East Lawrence intersection mural seeks final city approval

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

While living in Portland, Ore., Lawrence artist Alicia Kelly became captivated by the city’s intersection murals — flowers, suns and other designs painted directly onto the street.

When Kelly moved back to Lawrence, she wanted to bring that concept, called “intersection repair,” with her. And now, her idea — what she thinks is the Midwest’s first intersection mural — is about to come to fruition.

Pending City Commission approval Tuesday, Kelly and another Lawrence artist, Katy Clagett, will shut down the intersection of 10th and New Jersey streets on April 23 for a “painting party.”

“When I lived in

Portland for a short time, I was in love with them,” Kelly said. “I remember riding my bike over them and just stopping and looking down. I had never seen anything like it. I was thinking ‘Lawrence needs something like that.’”

The 10th and New Jersey intersection was chosen so it can act as an introduction to East Lawrence, Kelly said.

The project received a $1,500 arts grant from the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission about this time last year. The total cost of the project is $3,450.

It has received approval from the New York Elementary School principal, the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, the Traffic Safety Commission and the Historic Resources Commission. On Tuesday,

SATURDAY COLUMN

Presidential campaign triggers high voter interest

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

In about eight months, American voters will select the individual to inspire, lead and defend this country for the next four years. He or she will inherit a confused, angry and frustrated citizenry, a majority of whom are fed up with what is going on in Washington.

It’s likely, although there is no way to prove it, that a greater percentage of thinking Americans are concerned and interested in this year’s primary and general elections than during similar elections in recent years.

Interest in the primary elections is sky high, with proponents and opponents of candidates becoming increasingly adamant. How they express their likes and dislikes should spur concern that those expressions could get out of hand.

There are three likely finalists for the job: Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

They may not represent the

best or most qualified candidate to move into the world’s most powerful elected position, but they are what they are: good or not so good.

Clinton, 68, embraces and endorses much of the Obama political and social philosophy.

She has been a political insider since 1976, when her husband, former Arkansas governor and U.S. president Bill Clinton, was elected attorney general of Arkansas. Hillary Clinton has served as a U.S. senator and as this nation’s secretary of state.

She has far more experience in politics, 40 years, than either Republican candidate, but there are strong opposing opinions about whether she did a good job as a senator or secretary of state.

Cruz, 45, was a clerk for Chief Justice William Rehnquist and served as the solicitor general of Texas, arguing nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, before returning to private practice in Texas. He served as an adviser to

former President George H.W. Bush in 2000 and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012. He is a staunch conservative, a gifted speaker and debater, and, for whatever reason, does not enjoy strong support from his fellow Republican senators.

is for candidates to pledge and say whatever will get votes and, if elected, figure ways to justify abandoning the grandsounding commitments.

Obama, however, broke this model when he pledged, if elected, to make “fundamental changes” in America. He has followed through on this pledge and made major changes, many by executive action, rather than by gaining approval from Congress.

Many of the changes have altered the level of respect that many world leaders have for the strength and resolve of Uncle Sam. America’s armed forces have been reduced, the nation’s debt is at an all-time high and the government has become more involved in the lives of most Americans. World terrorism has grown, racial relations are not good, there is little cooperation between Democrats and Republicans in Washington and the Obama health care plan has failed to measure up to the

COMMENTARY Trump, 69, is a New York businessman, entrepreneur and developer who has been highly successful despite experiencing some major reversals during his highly publicized career. As a businessman, he supported both Republican and Democratic candidates, but he has not been a candidate for any political office prior to his current campaign for the presidency.

Voters should realize partisan politics is a tough and, often, a mean business. Unfortunately, the name of the game

president’s assurances.

The battle between Cruz and Trump is ugly and could end up damaging GOP chances of winning the White House in November. On the other hand, does the country want, or can it afford, four more years of greater government control, a weakening nation and growing numbers of Americans being dependent on government subsidies?

There is every reason for Americans to learn as much as they can about the candidates, what they stand for, their level of honesty and the impact their election would have on this country. Remember, far too often, campaign promises turn out to be hollow. America could suffer deep and dangerous consequences if the wrong person, with the wrong motives, should be elected.

It all boils down to more or less government and the ability, honesty and motives of who is elected.

Baldwin school district competitive shooting club formed

W

ith the start of spring, area high school athletes are pitching and hitting, kicking soccer balls, running and jumping on tracks and — in the Baldwin school district — shooting clay targets.

Technically, the 35 Baldwin Junior High School and High School students who gather every Tuesday evening to shoot clay targets in the Cedar Hill Gun Club are members of a school district club rather than a team, said Ryan Reynolds, one of the club’s four coaches.

“The Kansas High School Activities Association doesn’t sanction trap shooting, although that may change,” he said. “We’re a club within the junior high and high school.”

High school trap shooting competition started in Minnesota about 15 years ago and has been slowly spreading, Reynolds said. There are 19 other club teams in the Kansas State High School Clay Target League, a number limited by the availability of shooting facilities.

The Baldwin club was fortunate to have access to Cedar Hill Gun Club in the Vinland Valley about 7 miles from the high school.

“They basically opened it up for us on

Area Roundup

With 35 members, the club will be one of the largest in the state when competition starts next month, Reynolds said.

Because of the far-flung nature of the state’s 19 clubs, the Bulldog shooters will only travel to Wichita for the state finals in June. The club will shoot at Cedar Hill for all the other competitions with scores logged ejones@ljworld.com online, Reynolds said.

want to help preserve the area’s history are invited to the annual workday at the Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park.

Kerry Altenbernd, longtime Black Jack Battlefield Trust board member, said the local effort is part of the Civil War Trust’s annual Park Day at historical sites.

Those who do show up for the Black Jack workday at the site 3 miles east of Baldwin City on East 2000 Road are encouraged to wear suitable work clothes.

Activity will start at 9 a.m., but organizers don’t put too much emphasis on a set schedule.

“Our motto is show up when you can and leave when you must,” Altenbernd said.

The work will mostly focus on brush removal.

Altenbernd said trail areas will be cleared and attempts made to remove evasive plants that have taken root in native tallgrass prairie.

Although the work is being done to prepare the site for the start of visiting season, the battlefield is open to visitors year-round, Altenbernd said. In past years, the Black Jack board attempted to have volunteers at the site to greet visitors and lead tours on spring, summer

and early fall weekends.

That won’t be the case this year.

“We’re having trouble finding enough volunteers,” Altenbernd said.

“That’s something we’re still trying to figure out.

We won’t have someone there every weekend day.

There will be brochures and maps available for people stopping by.”

Attempts will be made to provide tours to groups visiting the site, Altenbernd said. Those wanting to arrange such a tour should call 785883-2106.

Planned activities include a tour on the June 2 anniversary of the battle. That will begin at the 5 a.m. time the 1856 armed showdown started between John Brown’s abolitionist forces and those of Henry Pate’s pro-slavery militia. More tours and activities are scheduled on Saturday, June 4, to further mark the 160th anniversary of the battle, Altenbernd said.

Those tours will feature running commentary and debate between Altenbernd as John Brown and a re-enactor playing one of Pate’s men.

In other Black Jack news, the second phase of restoration has started on the Pearson farmhouse at the site thanks to a grant from the Douglas County Heritage

Conservation Council.

Altenbernd said work was being done now on the interior woodwork with the restoration of original wood flooring to follow.

“We’re doing it very carefully because we want to make sure it’s done right so that we honor the people who lived out there,” he said.

The current restoration effort follows extensive work to stabilize the house’s foundation, repair a chimney and address termite damage funded through a $163,000 grant the Heritage Conservation Council awarded in 2011.

Baker to start planning enrollment increase on Baldwin campus of Chapel Street.

Andy Jett, Baker vice president of strategic planning and academic resources, said the talks were about protecting Baker’s northern border.

Baker property borders the school district office and storage building on the west, south and east and the vacant lot on the south.

Baker administrators are working with the Baker University Board of Trustees about updating the university’s strategic plan and its master plan, which would define the facilities and programming needed to support the strategic objectives identified, Jett said. One goal would be to increase

the Baldwin City’s campus enrollment from the current enrollment of about 830 undergraduate students to 1,000, he said.

“That’s the capacity we can reach on the Baldwin City campus without making substantial infrastructural improvements,” Jett said.

Facility improvements would nonetheless be needed to ensure the university could continue to provide quality educational and student life experiences with the enrollment increase, Jett said.

Those could include more residence halls, some classroom additions and upgraded and additional athletic facilities, he said.

The school district’s

Chapel Street properties could be part of residence hall expansion and new athletic facilities important to a school at which 60 percent of its undergraduate students participate in intercollegiate athletics, Jett said.

Although Jett said it was too early to say definitively, the completion of the planning process could be followed by a capital campaign. Baker hadn’t had such an effort since $10.3 million was raised for the Mulvane Hall transformation project, which was completed in 2012, he said.

“That was one of Dr. (Lynne) Murray’s goals when she came at Baker,” Jett said of the school president’s arrival on campus

in July 2014. “Fundraising was one of the things she brings to the table. If you’re going to go through the master planning process, you have to have some level of donations to make it possible.”

Baldwin school board members were open to talks with Baker representatives about the properties with a number of board members saying it was surprising the university hadn’t already acquired the vacant city block.

Board member Sandy Chapman said Monday that based on the district’s last experience in selling excess school property, it needed to consider whether it should invite

other offers for the Chapel Street properties.

In November 2014, the board agreed to sell the Vinland Elementary School to McFarlane Aviation only to have patrons request it open that process to other potential buyers. The district eventually sold the school for $301,000 to Darren Flory, which was $131,000 more than the original offer.

Superintendent Paul Dorathy said the properties currently were not listed for sale and that no interested parties had approached the district about them.

In coming up with the design, Kelly and Clagett

held three community meetings to receive input.

After about 15 iterations, the duo decided on a final design that will be presented to the City Commission on Tuesday.

They wanted to keep it simple and symmetrical, but “playful,” because

of its proximity to New York Elementary School.

A bricklike element running north and south is meant to be reminiscent of the old trolley line from the early 1900s.

City commissioners will meet at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

The mural agreement is on the commission’s consent agenda, meaning it will be approved unless a commissioner pulls it for discussion.

“He has been a phenomenal leader,” said Shane Bangerter, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents. “His ability to fund-raise and the projects he has been able to accomplish will definitely be a lasting legacy for him.”

Schulz told the KState community that he will remain as president through mid-May before transitioning to Washington State.

“Noel and I have

thoroughly enjoyed our seven years at Kansas State,” Schulz wrote, mentioning his wife. “It has been an exciting time to be a Wildcat and a part of the K-State family.”

Schulz will now negotiate his new contract, which must be approved by the WSU Board of Regents.

K-State and Washington State are both large land-grant universities located in small cities, with major sports programs. Schulz is chair of the NCAA board of governors, the athletic

association’s highestranking decision-making body.

Provost Daniel Bernardo has been acting president of WSU. The popular Floyd died of complications from colon cancer at 59. He created a new medical school at WSU-Spokane that will be named for him.

The university initially reached out to some 200 people for the job and then whittled that list to eight prospects before the final cut was made to three finalists, Worthy said.

The search committee

decided early it would not release candidates’ names, even at the finalist level. That decision was intended to attract quality applicants without placing their careers at risk. Some faculty members have criticized the secrecy and lack of on-campus interviews.

The regents said Noel Schulz will be offered a job as an engineering professor at the school.

Washington State University is based in Pullman and has branch campuses in Vancouver, Richland, Spokane and Everett. The system has

about 29,000 students.

K-State has about 24,000 students. Schulz is also a professor of chemical engineering at K-State.

During his tenure, KState climbed from the “very high research activity” classification in 2010 to the “highest research activity” in 2015 in rankings by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Washington State University said.

was largely contained in Kansas except in Barber County, which is southwest of Wichita along the border with Oklahoma.

The strong winds that initially fueled it died down Thursday, and though gusts of up to 30 mph were expected Friday, the winds don’t appear to be “hurting yet,” said Ben Bauman, spokesman for the Kansas Adjutant General’s Office.

“Things really appear to be going pretty well so far today,” he said.

Earlier in the week, smoke was reportedly detected as far away as St. Louis, hundreds of miles to the northeast.

Crews worked overnight to successfully save a home in Barber County, where the blaze has burned at least 426 square miles, Darcy Golliher, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Incident Management Team, said Friday. She said crews were hopeful that the blaze would be under control by the weekend, although

it was just 15 percent contained Friday.

“The big concern today is the winds coming out of the south,” she said. “That is what we are working on.”

In neighboring Comanche County, the fire was mostly contained, although crews were monitoring for flareups, said John Lehman, the county’s emergency management coordinator. He said the concern was that sparks from stillburning trees and cedars

in canyons in the area’s Gyp Hills would blow up and ignite flames on the ridges.

“Up on top they feel like they have it,” he said.

“It’s looking a lot better.”

In Oklahoma, officials planned to conduct damage assessments Friday to determine how many buildings have been lost in the blaze, said Michelle Finch-Walker, a spokeswoman for the state’s Forestry Services.

“Due to the extraordinary firefighting efforts

yesterday and a little help from Mother Nature, we didn’t see any fire growth,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Kansas Livestock Association halted a call for hay donations for Kansas ranchers affected by the fire after many came in, KLA spokesman Todd Domer said Friday. The KLA’s farmers’ cooperatives in two Kansas communities are also collecting cash donations for to help repair tens of thousands of miles of burned fencing.

Baker University officials soon will start planning for increasing the enrollment on the Baldwin City campus to 1,000 students and the associated upgrades of facilities and programing needed to handle that growth.

The university signaled its intentions in that regard Monday when it was announced at the Baldwin school board meeting that the university wanted to talk with the district about acquiring from the district the vacant square block north of the 500 block of Chapel Street and the district office and storage building on the 700 block

Bill for juvenile justice reform goes to governor’s desk Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate on Thursday passed a bill that would overhaul the state’s juvenile justice system and was sent to Gov. Sam Brownback for his signature.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the bill was created to shift the juvenile justice system away from incarceration and use some of the cost savings to boost communitybased programs that help young offenders.

The bill is expected to save Kansas about $72 million over five years.

It also replaces juvenile

jail with programs that to try to cure problems such as inappropriate sexual behavior or substance abuse.

The final bill was a result of months of legislative analysis, debate and research. Earlier, Senate Bill 367 won approval 1185 in the House.

Republican state Rep. John Rubin of Shawnee led the path for the reform, but almost quit the Legislature last week when he was fired as chairman of the Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee over an unrelated floor argument.

Rubin said that juvenile offenders “will have better lives, better opportunities and a better chance to succeed as adults because of the work we together have done on this bill,” Rubin said. “And all Kansans will have better lives because this bill will, without doubt, enhance and improve public safety.”

The bill, a major piece of legislation strongly supported by both political sides, was a rare exception in the extremely partisan atmosphere that has reigned in the Legislature for years.

sympathy on the part of the city.”

A stagnation in the number of personnel and a large number of vacancies created in 2009 have already caused a cutback in services, the memo states. There are fewer officers assigned to certain units; the 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. shift is lightly staffed; and there’s “very little” investigation of property and financial crimes. Also, tasks not related to crime solving, such as event management, are paid for through overtime.

is asking that if commissioners don’t approve the request Tuesday, they choose one of three other methods to replace the people leaving this year.

One option given is to hire experienced officers, as needed, who would not have to go through the academy. Another option is to start up another academy immediately following the one that ends in November, instead of doing only one ninemonth session per year.

A third option is to fund incentives to delay some officers from retiring.

The department is also asking that a line-item budget be created in future years so the department can plan to overhire approximately 10 positions each year.

The City Commission meets at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

“We want to be up in the force we think we need to be at,” Kidney said. “What it boils down to is paying for the recruit to be in the academy and trained and ready to hit the street when we need them.”

‘Dramatic increase’ in retirees From 2003 through 2015, an average of 8.5 people left the police department each year, either because they retired, were terminated or resigned. Over the past six years, about 10 of the total 49 people who left did so because they were retiring.

Now, the police department is expecting a “dramatic increase” in retirements as more officers become eligible. At least part of the reason behind the increase was the hire of 27 officers in 1991, 19 of whom remain on the force.

Two officers retired this month, five more are planning to retire in June and one more in December. Five others could retire in 2016 but haven’t said whether they would.

The retirements, plus another seven on average who leave for other reasons, would mean a loss of 19 people in 2016.

If the City Commission doesn’t approve the overhire, the police department could have a force of 144 by 2017 with not enough officers graduating from this year’s academy to replace them.

Jared Russell, works in lawn and landscaping, Tonganoxie “Bob Marley smoking. It’s a hippie town.”

History of over-hiring The city has approved over-hires the past three years: eight in 2013, another eight in 2014 and 10 in 2015. The memo states the cost of those hires was between $146,730 and $373,098 per year.

However, the department didn’t request a separate budget, and so it’s hard to know the true cost, Kidney said.

“The chief comes in and requests a certain number, based on their projections,” Kidney said of the process. “This year, it happens to be more than they’ve typically had.”

The cost of hiring the extra people to go through the academy could be toward the higher end of the department’s estimates if fewer people leave the department than it’s expecting.

Kidney said the $1,267,061 would be “worst case scenario” — if the department overhired and the number of people expected to leave didn’t.

“Between the fact that they’re comfortable in their attrition estimate, plus we’re hiring people at a much lower pay than what’s being replaced, it’s conservative,” Kidney said.

The cost of bringing on each new officer is expected to be $74,553 — $44,042 in base salary plus benefits and outfitting. Recruits are paid for the time they’re in training.

Set boundaries for son’s pot-smoking fiancee Dear Annie: I am in my early 50s, a widow, with five great kids, all now grown, out of college and thriving on their own. We get together at the family home for weekends and holidays.

A problem arises when my middle son (age 25) arrives with his fiancee, ‘’Carol,’’ who smokes pot. I have asked him repeatedly to tell Carol not to do this in or around my home. The neighbors are very close by and this is a small community. I am well-known by most of the people who live here.

Carol refuses. The second that I leave the house to run an errand, I come back to a house filled with the scent of pot lingering in the air.

I am at my wits’ end.

Must I ban my son and Carol from the home? --

Heartbroken Mom Dear Mom: Carol is being enormously disrespectful to you and also to your son if he is, in fact, asking her not to do this. If recreational marijuana use is illegal in your state, her actions could also bring the police into your home and you could be held responsible for the pot.

Tell your son that he can no longer bring Carol to the house unless she leaves the pot

NBA star gets a new ‘Tiny House’ While millions decorate, or hide, their Easter eggs, basketball dominates tonight. While many turn toward the NCAA Men’s Tournament, “Tiny House Nation” (8 p.m., FYI, TV-PG) host John Weisbarth and expert sidekick Zack Giffin prepare to build and appoint a tiny house for San Antonio Spurs star Matt Bonner and his family. For the record, a tiny house must measure no more than 500 square feet. There are tool sheds that exceed that size. And that’s exactly what Bonner thinks he sees when he first lays eyes on the frame for his diminutive New Hampshire dream home.

As usual, “Tiny House” is big on distractions and shenanigans.

Information and instruction are doled out in between the usual sitcom hijinks.

“Tiny House Nation” is the network’s most popular series, showcasing a movement away from McMansion excess. Is this a sign of a less wasteful society, or merely a new consumer trend of conspicuous austerity?

You get the sense that this tiny house won’t be the Bonners’ only home.

O Lifetime movie buffs know that perfection is just the other side of obsessive. Brady Smith and Sadie Calvano star in the 2016 shocker “The Perfect Daughter” (7 p.m.), about a controlling father who refuses to believe that his little angel could come home from a party drunk. So he cooks up a report to the police, shattering their daddy-daughter bond.

Tonight’s other highlights

O The Elite Eight round of

the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament begins (5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., CBS).

O Charlton Heston stars in the 1956 biblical epic “The Ten Commandments” (6 p.m., ABC, TV-G), a television favorite for decades.

O Silver wants answers on the season finale of “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

Cult choice Even people who avoid silent movies should see Buster Keaton’s 1927 slapstick masterpiece “The General” (7 p.m., TCM), now considered one of the greatest films ever made. It ranks at No. 18 on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest comedies.

Tonight’s series

O Two hours of “Dateline” (7

p.m., NBC).

O Capt. Hornstock becomes a murder suspect on “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O Eternal ennui on “Lucifer” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

Obama lacks commitment on terrorism Washington — The splitscreen told the story: on one side, images of the terror bombing in Brussels; on the other, Barack Obama doing the wave with Raul Castro at a baseball game in Havana.

On one side, the real world of rising global terrorism. On the other, the Obama fantasy world in which romancing a geopolitically insignificant Cuba — without an ounce of democracy or human rights yielded in return — is considered a seminal achievement of American diplomacy.

Cuba wasn’t so much a legacy trip as a vanity trip, vindicating the dorm-room enthusiasms of one’s student days when the Sandinistas were cool, revolution was king and every other friend had a dog named Che. When Brussels intervened, some argued that Obama should have cut short his trip and come back home. I disagree. You don’t let three suicide bombers control the itinerary of the American president.

Moreover, Obama’s next stop, Argentina, is actually important and had just elected a friendly government that broke from its long and corrupt Peronist past.

Nonetheless, Obama could have done without the baseball.

What kind of message does it send to be yukking it up with Raul even as Belgian authorities are picking body parts off the floor of the Brussels airport?

Obama came into office believing that we had vastly exaggerated the threat of terrorism and allowed it to pervert both our values and our foreign policy. He

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Obama came into office believing that we had vastly exaggerated the threat of terrorism and allowed it to pervert both our values and our foreign policy. … It’s now been seven years.

The real world has stubbornly refused to accommodate Obama’s pacific dreams.” declared a unilateral end to the global war on terror and downplayed the threat ever since. He frequently reminds aides, reports Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, that more Americans die annually of bathtub accidents.

It’s now been seven years.

The real world has stubbornly refused to accommodate Obama’s pacific dreams. The Islamic State has grown from JV team to worldwide threat, operating from Libya to Afghanistan, Sinai to Belgium. It is well into the infiltration phase of its European campaign, with

500 trained and hardened cadres in place among the estimated 5,000 jihadists returned from the Middle East. The increasing tempo and sophistication of its operations suggest that it may be poised for a continent-wide guerrilla campaign.

In the face of this, Obama remains inert, unmoved, displaying a neglect and insouciance that borders on denial. His nonreaction to the Belgian massacre — his 34-minute speech in Havana devoted 51 seconds to Brussels — left the world as stunned as it was after the Paris massacre, when Obama did nothing. Worse, at his now notorious November news conference in Turkey, his only show of passion regarding Paris was to berate Islamophobes.

David Axelrod called Obama’s response “tone deaf.”

But that misses the point. This is more than a mere mistake of presentation. Remember his reaction to the beheading of the American journalist James Foley? Obama made a statement expressing his sympathies — and then jumped onto his golf cart for a round of 18.

He later told NBC News’ Chuck Todd that this was a mistake. “Part of this job is also the theater of it,” he explained, “it’s not something that always comes naturally to me.” As if postponing a bucolic recreation was a required piece of political playacting rather than a president’s natural reaction — a mixture of shock and sorrow — to the terrible death of a citizen he could not save.

It’s not as if Obama is so super cool that he never shows emotion. Just a few months ago, he teared up when speaking about the Sandy Hook school shooting. That was the work of a psychotic. But when speaking about the work of Islamist terrorists, he offers flat perfunctory words.

I cannot fathom why. Perhaps having long seen himself uniquely qualified by background and history to make peace between Islam and the West, to now recognize how badly things have gone on his watch is to admit both failure and the impossible grandiosity of his original pretensions.

Whatever the reason, he seems genuinely unmoved by a menace the rest of the world views, correctly, with horror and increasing apprehension.

He’s been in office seven years, yet seems utterly fixed on his campaign promises and prepresidential obsessions: shutting down Gitmo, rapprochement with Iran, engagement with tyrants (hence Havana), making the oceans recede (hence the Paris climate trip).

Next we’ll see yet another useless Washington “summit” on yet another Obama idee fixe: eliminating nuclear materials.

With the world on fire, the American president goes on ideological holiday. As was said of the Bourbons: “They have learned nothing and have forgotten nothing.”

Senate’s stand spurs constitutional concerns

By Martin Dickinson

YOUR TURN

The refusal of Senate Republicans to consider President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for the U.S. Supreme Court raises serious constitutional issues.

The constitutional requirements are clear. Section 2 of Article II provides that the president is to “nominate” and the Senate is to “advise and consent.” If the president had not made a nomination to fill the Scalia vacancy, he would Dickinson have been guilty of a serious dereliction of duty. Similarly, if senators refuse even to consider the president’s nomination, those senators will be guilty of dereliction of duty.

If the Republicans hold hearings on Gar-

land, conclude that he is not qualified and vote him down, that is certainly their right.

But under the Constitution it is not their right to refuse even to consider the nomination.

There is no precedent for the Republicans’ refusal to grant Garland a hearing.

There is plenty of time for full vetting of Garland so that, if qualified, he can join the court prior to the beginning of its next term in October.

President Obama was elected and then re-elected. More than 65 million Americans voted for him in 2012. To argue that “the people have not yet spoken” is nonsense.

President Obama nominated a highly regarded centrist judge who has been fulsomely praised by both Republican and Democrats, as well as Chief Justice Roberts. Judge Garland would bring objectivity

and compromise at a time when those are badly needed.

If the Republicans can refuse to consider Obama’s nominee, then Democrats can equally well refuse to consider a Trump or Cruz nominee. Republican refusal to consider Garland could trigger a cycle of retaliation that would leave the Scalia seat vacant for years.

If the Republicans refuse to consider Garland, there will be an important lesson for both parties: Nothing can be gained from nominating a centrist, and there is nothing to lose from nominating a partisan candidate. There will be few centrist nominees in the future, and the Supreme Court will become increasingly politicized.

If elected officials can with impunity outright refuse to perform their constitutional duties, our government has serious problems.

U.S. forces killed a top Islamic State leader this week, the latest blow to the terror group’s command structure in its strongholds in Iraq and Syria, the Pentagon announced Friday.

Al-Qaduli went by the alias Haji Imam. The United States had a $7 million bounty on his head.

“The removal of this ISIL leader will hamper the organization’s ability for them to conduct operations both inside and outside of Iraq and Syria,” Carter said.

al-Qaduli was killed, citing operational security concerns. He didn’t disclose whether he was killed in Iraq or Syria.

The United States recently deployed a special operations force in Iraq capable of launching targeted raids to capture or kill key leaders. Raids can potentially scoop up valuable intelligence.

Belgian police arrested three people Friday in separate raids in Brussels, including one man carrying explosives in a backpack sitting at a tram stop.

Mounting evidence gathered in three countries indicates a close working relationship between terrorists who struck in Brussels on Tuesday, killing 31 people, and in Paris in November, killing 130.

A Belgian electrician working near the scene of a raid Friday in the Schaerbeek district of Brussels said he saw police shoot a suspect in the leg.

Schaerbeek is the same neighborhood where terrorists who attacked Brussels Airport and a

metro station Tuesday had a bombmaking factory.

Norman Kabir told the Associated Press the man was sitting at a bus stop with a young girl. He said police took the girl into safe custody, then asked the man “to put the bag far from him,” which he did. Police shot him twice, apparently in the leg, Kabir said. “I was very shocked. ... This part of Brussels is very quiet,” he said.

The Belgian authorities’ raids were linked to the arrest in Argenteuil, France, on Thursday of Reda Kriket, who was convicted in absentia of terrorist activities last year, along with the suspected ringleader of the attacks Nov. 13 in Paris, the AP reported.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve confirmed the arrest of a French national Thursday who appeared to be at

an advanced stage of planning a terrorist attack.

“He belongs to a terrorist network that sought to strike our country,” Cazeneuve said without confirming the identity of the suspect.

At least 11 people have been picked up in operations in Belgium, France and Germany over the past two days in the aftermath of Tuesday’s terror attacks.

Authorities suspect at least five people took part in the attacks in Brussels, three at the airport and two at the metro station.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Netflix throttles video for users of AT&T and Verizon Says it’s helping users avoid data-cap fees Mike Snider USA TODAY

Streaming video provider Netflix says it has been sending lower-quality video to mobile subscribers on AT&T and Verizon networks to help prevent them from surpassing data caps.

Increased consumption of video on mobile devices has led many Netflix members to worry about surpassing data caps, the company says. More than five

years ago, the video service began sending lower-resolution feeds to members on mobile networks with data caps.

“We believe restrictive data caps are bad for consumers and the Internet in general, creating a dilemma for those who increasingly rely on their mobile devices for entertainment, work and more,” Anne Marie Squeo, a member of the Netflix corporate communication team, said on the Netflix blog. “It’s about striking a balance that ensures a good streaming experience while avoiding unplanned fines from mobile providers.”

Netflix is developing a “data

saver” feature, due in May, that will let subscribers set the video quality inside their mobile app.

The feature will let members

“stream more video under a smaller data plan or increase their video quality if they have a higher data plan,” Squeo said.

The issue came to light last week when T-Mobile CEO John Legere posted a video on Twitter saying AT&T and Verizon customers get lower-quality video from Netflix than T-Mobile users do.

Netflix has also been reducing resolution of its videos streamed on T-Mobile’s networks: It was one of the original participants in T-Mobile’s Binge On program, which lets its subscribers watch video services at a lower quality (480p) without counting against

their monthly data allotment.

The difference, according to Legere, is that Netflix on AT&T and Verizon is lower quality than Netflix on T-Mobile’s Binge On, at 360p. Netflix said it caps its bitrate for mobile viewing at 600 kilobits per second. It wouldn’t comment beyond its blog post.

“We’re outraged to learn that Netflix is apparently throttling video for their AT&T customers without their knowledge or consent,” said Jim Cicconi, AT&T senior executive vice president of external and legislative affairs, in a statement.

Like Verizon, AT&T says it does not throttle video.

ciates who were directly involved in external plotting and training.”

He acknowledged the Islamic State quickly replaces leaders but said removing top commanders is critical.

“They are senior, they’re experienced, and so eliminating them is an important objective, and it achieves an important result,” Carter said.

Al-Qaduli’s demise comes on the heels of the death of Islamic State senior operative Omar alShishani, who was targeted in an airstrike this month.

Secretary of State John Kerry said the coalition’s success against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is prompting the terror group to launch attacks outside the region.

“They are senior, they’re experienced, and so eliminating them is an important objective.”

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter

“The very reason that Daesh is resorting to actions outside of the Middle East is that its fantasy of a caliphate is collapsing before their eyes,” Kerry said, using another name for the Islamic State.

The U.S.-led coalition is making progress taking terrain back from militants, particularly in Iraq, where the country’s military has recaptured about 40% of the territory once held by the group.

Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the United States might ramp up its support of Iraq’s military as it embarks on a major offensive to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, from militants.

A contingent of U.S. Marines provides artillery support to Iraq’s forces as they conduct operations to isolate Mosul in preparation for an offensive into the city, still months away.

The Iraqi military will remain in the lead of ground operations even if U.S. military support increases, according to the Pentagon.

“The secretary and I both believe that there will be an increase in U.S. forces in Iraq in coming weeks, but that decision hasn’t been made,” Dunford said.

N.Y. siblings killed in Brussels were headed home Family thankful for closure and asks for time to deal with loss Matt Spillane

The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News WHITE PLAINS , N.Y. Two New York City siblings were among the victims in Tuesday’s terror attack in Brussels, their family said.

Sascha and Alexander Pinczowski had been among the missing from the airport.

Belgian authorities and the Dutch Embassy confirmed that the siblings died in Tuesday’s attacks at the airport and subway station in Brussels, their family said in a statement. The attacks killed 31 people and injured nearly 300.

The statement was released Friday by former U.S. ambassador to Denmark James Cain on behalf of the Pinczowski family.

Cain’s daughter, Cameron, was engaged to Alexander Pinczowski.

The family is “grateful to have closure on this tragic situation and are thankful for the thoughts and prayers from all,” Cain said.

“The family is in the process of making arrangements.”

A statement from a family friend also confirmed the two deaths, The Daily News reported.

“The family would like to express their gratitude for all the compassion, and they now need time to grieve,” Fans Van Herteren said in the statement Friday.

The Pinczowskis were at Brussels Airport to board a flight home to New York.

capital of Belgium and headquarters of the European Union has come to a crawl amid stepped-up security measures. Officials have shuttered the airport, ordered searches of train travelers, reinforced border controls and deployed soldiers on the streets.

Outside Pin Pon, only a few people wandered the antiques market in the Place du Jeu de Balles, a square in the Marolles neighborhood that’s normally swarming with tourists.

Last November, after the Islamic State attacks in Paris that killed 130 people, Belgian authorities put the entire city on a similar lockdown for several days because the attackers were linked to Brussels. The impact was disastrous for hotels, restaurants and other businesses.

“If there is one lesson we learned from November, it’s that we shouldn’t stay on lockdown for too long,” said Marc Van Muylders, president of the Fédération Horeca Bruxelles, which represents the interests of hotel and restaurant owners.

Events canceled in November were rescheduled for January and February, meaning the entertainment sector of Brussels’ economy has only just begun to recover from the Paris

attacks. Now that Brussels itself was a target, hotels and restaurants don’t know how long it will take to recover.

“We’re afraid,” said Benoît Thewys, e-commerce manager for the Chelton Hotel near the offices of the European Commission, the EU’s executive agency. In November, the Chelton’s occupancy rate dropped from 90% to 50%.

The hotel lost 35% of its revenue as businesses canceled conferences and tourists stayed away, Thewys said.

Many of the guests at Sébastien Botte’s bed and breakfast La Maison Haute in the city center are touring Europe and stop for a day on their way to Paris, Bruges or Amsterdam.

“Usually, by January, I have already filled my rooms for April and May,” said Botte, 42.

“Today, I’m still filling in for April and a little for May.” Botte lost about half of his revenue in November and December. Cancellations — mostly American, Japanese and Chinese guests — have mounted. “There is an economic impact, for sure,” he said.

“It feels like a game at which you’ve been forced to play,” said Noémie Rosette-Pein, 32, a waitress at Pin Pon. “But life still needs to be celebrated.

Otherwise, it’s the beginning of the end.”

In the Ohio victory, which came the same day that Marco Rubio dropped out of the race, Kasich emerged as the last mainstream Republican standing. But establishment Republicans, such as donors and members of Congress who backed Rubio, greeted Kasich’s win last week with little more than a glance his way.

Texas Sen. Cruz didn’t exactly receive a mainstream GOP group hug. But he picked up all 40 delegates in Utah on Tuesday night to Kasich’s zero. Donald Trump gathered all 58 of Arizona’s delegates, widening his lead over his rivals.

More than the delegate lead, it’s who has decided to back Cruz, and how, that poses the biggest problem for Kasich. In the past week, top leaders in the effort to stop Trump have come out behind Cruz — loudly. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gov. Nikki Haley and — days after campaigning for Kasich — Mitt Romney embraced the Texan.

Bush joined them Wednesday.

What’s worse: Anti-Trump voices, led by Romney, tacitly suggest Kasich should drop out, saying he’ll steal votes from Cruz’s more promising effort to defeat Trump.

The message: Thanks for winning Ohio, but please get out of the way. It’s the right thing to do.

That doesn’t exactly seem like gratitude to Kasich, who is trying to become president — not just stop Trump.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich won his home state, but it didn’t bring the boost he hoped for.

from Trump than Cruz can hope to in primaries in the Midwest, East and West Coast, and that Kasich has the best shot of the three Republicans of winning the White House in November, so the party must keep him as a possible choice for this summer’s Republican National Convention.

“A choice between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is no choice at all. Either one would lose in November. The question is really: Who has the strength and vision to lead our country? That’s John Kasich,” said John Sununu, a former U.S. senator from New Hampshire and co-chairman of Kasich’s campaign. Moreover, he said, “if Mitt Romney thinks that Ted Cruz is going to beat Donald Trump head-to-head in Rhode Island or Connecticut or New York, he’s a fool.”

Romney is right, said Liz Mair, a GOP strategist who leads antiTrump political action committee Make America Awesome. Like most anti-Trump PACs, the group has avoided backing other candidates but ran ads for Cruz in Utah and Arizona, since he had the best chances against Trump in those states.

“Much as there are Republican primary voters out there who would prefer Kasich to Cruz, there is simply no way to make the math work for Kasich,” Mair said. “There is a way to make it work for Cruz and thereby stop Trump, which is the most critical goal. ... Don’t let the perfect be the

enemy of the good.”

Last week, Romney was touting Kasich’s virtues.

The failed 2012 presidential nominee spoke out about an anyone-but-Trump strategy, urging Republicans to cast ballots for the candidate with the best chance of defeating Trump in their state. In Ohio, that meant Kasich, so Romney hit the trail in the Buckeye State last week and voiced robocalls for Kasich.

It wasn’t an endorsement. But what Romney did later that same week stung Kasich. Romney said he would vote for Cruz in Utah’s caucus Tuesday night, then went further — urging Republicans not to vote for Kasich.

“At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible,” Romney wrote on Facebook. Of Kasich: “I would have voted for him in Ohio. But a vote for Governor Kasich in future contests makes it extremely likely that Trumpism would prevail.”

Candidates talk tough on Muslims

Rights groups horrified by calls for restricted entry and patrols Rick Jervis USA TODAY

Ted Cruz’s proposal this week that police should “patrol and secure” Muslims neighborhoods in the USA in the wake of the Brussels bombings touched off a firestorm of backlash from prominent civil rights groups, as well as congressional colleagues.

Since the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., Donald Trump and Cruz have been trying to outdo each other by proposing tougher scrutiny on U.S. Muslims and incoming refugees, Rice University political scientist Mark Jones said.

Trump went first, suggesting in December that the United States should temporarily bar all Muslims from entering. Shortly after, Cruz unveiled a bill that would allow governors to bar placement of Syrian refugees in their states.

Cruz and Trump are fighting to capture more primary voters through strong talk on terrorism.

The Brussels attacks on Tuesday at a metro station and airport, which killed at least 31 people, provides more fodder, Jones said, and Cruz is trying to make sure that Trump can’t “outflank him to the right.”

In a statement Tuesday, Cruz restated his call to “immediately halt the flow of refugees from countries with a significant al Qaeda or ISIS presence,” such as Iraq or Syria. He also called for the “need to empower law enCorrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has called again to halt the flow of refugees from nations with significant al-Qaeda or ISIS presence. forcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.”

The comments were immediately rebuked by groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Council of American-Islamic Relations.

Cruz’s proposal “is not only

unconstitutional, it is unbefitting anyone seeking our nation’s highest office and indicates that he lacks the temperament necessary for any president,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement.

Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat and former U.S.

Army helicopter pilot who lost her legs in 2004 when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, said Cruz’s claims send the wrong message to Muslims. “When we say this kind of thing we promote the divisive rhetoric, the propaganda that ISIS is selling, which will create the next insurgent that’s going to shoot down an American helicopter like the guy that shot me down,” Duckworth told Mashable.

The Cruz campaign said President Obama’s adminiGETTY IMAGES stration has Donald failed to recogTrump urged nize a growing the U.S. to radical Islamic temporarily threat in Amerbar Muslim ica due to fear entry. of being labeled “politically incorrect.” Radical Islamic terrorism should be targeted by local law enforcement agencies the way they target drugs, gangs and human trafficking, it said.

“We know what is happening with these isolated Muslim neighborhoods in Europe,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said in a statement. “If we want to prevent it from happening here, it is going to require an empowered, visible law enforcement presence that will both identify problem spots and partner with non-radical Americans who want to protect their homes.”

But singling out neighborhoods by the religion of its residents for increased surveillance is unconstitutional and would lead to lawsuits, said Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU’s National Security Project. A similar initiative

to allow police to monitor Muslim communities in New York City under former mayor Michael Bloomberg was attacked in federal court and was largely curtailed following a court settlement earlier this year, she said.

“Religious profiling is unconstitutional,” Shamsi said. “Religious freedom and equal protection of the law are two of the fundamental rights the founders enshrined in our constitution. Any kind of program that singled out Muslims or any faith or minority community for warrantless surveillance would violate those rights.”

Despite constitutional questions, rhetoric like Cruz’s and Trump’s is striking a strong chord among many GOP primary voters. A February University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll found that 62% of Texas Republicans supported banning non-U.S. Muslims from entering the USA. “There’s an audience for what they’re saying,” said James Henson, the poll’s co-author and director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin. “And they know that.”

In Cruz’s hometown of Houston, home to one of the nation’s largest Muslim communities, the candidates’ calls to monitor Muslims have brought anger and trepidation. Since the San Bernardino shootings, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians and other Muslim groups in Houston have sensed increased hostility, said Shireen Jasser, president of the Syrian American Council of Houston.

Cruz’s latest remarks will only worsen tensions and further alienate U.S. Muslims, she said.

“It’s something so discriminatory, something so un-American,” Jasser said. “It’s quite frankly shocking.”

IN BRIEF SUICIDE BOMBER KILLS 29 SOUTH OF BAGHDAD

A suicide bomber killed at least 29 people and wounded 60 others in an attack on a crowd gathered at a soccer stadium south of Baghdad on Friday, according to multiple media reports.

The blast occurred during a trophy presentation in the village of Iskandariya about 25 miles south of the Iraqi capital, wire services reported.

Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the Amaq news agency, which is affiliated with the group also known as ISIL or ISIS. Medical officials confirmed the death toll to the Associated Press.

During a news conference in Pyongyang, Kim admitted that he had collaborated with South Korean intelligence officials and spied for them, according to the Associated Press. He apologized for his “shameful” acts and pleaded for mercy.

Kim, whose name has also been reported as Kim Dong Chul, is a native of South Korea and a naturalized U.S. citizen. He told CNN in January that he lived in Fairfax, Va., before moving in 2011 to the Chinese city of Yangji near the North Korean border.

NEW YORK AUTO SHOW

VW RECALLS TOUAREG SUVS TO CHECK BRAKE PEDAL PIN Volkswagen Group is recalling about 47,000 of its Touareg SUVs in the USA to check the brake pedal to see if a pin is missing. If it is, the automaker fears the pedal might not work. The recall covers Touaregs from the 2011 to 2016 model years. Porsche Cayennes from the same model years are affected as well. The issue involves a clip at the brake pedal hinge, which may be missing. A missing pin could result in a fracture of the hinge. The pedal could come loose, and drivers wouldn’t be able to push the pedal to apply the brakes. VW says it hasn’t had any reports of the issue happening in the USA.

NISSAN FUTURE MOBILITY CONCEPT

Just for fun and attention, Nissan decided to try out an outrageously small electric vehicle on the American public.

The New Mobility concept is one of those city electric cars that a few other automakers tried out a decade ago. They don’t have great range, and they are limited to traveling at 25 mph on city streets. They’d be perfect for a gated retirement community — and not much else.

Nissan’s concept is a blast to drive, although it has a rough ride. An outfit is renting it in San Francisco, but Nissan doesn’t plan to sell it. It just wanted to show it off.

Does it belong at an auto show? Not really. Fun? You bet.

NEW YORK hether it’s modest gassavers or hulking pickups, there are enough new vehicle model introductions at the New York Auto Show to appeal to any gearhead.

But for all the hits, there are a few misses — introductions that seemed halfhearted, those with only incremental changes or just oddballs that don’t fit nicely into a major auto show.

Though we’ve pointed out our favorites for the past couple of days, we don’t want to overlook our least favorites as the show opened to the public Friday.

Based on our wanderings around the floor, here are the five vehicles that qualify as “misses:”

Musicians Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato pose with the 2017 Honda Civic Sedan on Tuesday in New York City.

DEMI LOVATO HONDA CIVIC

Honda turned singer Demi Lovato, who performed on the automaker’s concert tour, loose when it came to designing her own custom Civic.

It came out with a weird color scheme that doesn’t exactly win our hearts. But it thrilled Lovato: “I wanted it to look so fast that it looked like it was peeling away the black,” she said. Trouble is the pink-and-black arrangement doesn’t exactly win us over — nor does Lovato’s big signature on the side.

But hey, we’re sure the car is a hit with Lovato’s fans — especially when she signed it.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK

GMC

GMC TERRAIN NIGHTFALL EDITION

The Nightfall is one of those vehicles that would thrill Batman — darkened and edgy with a dash of sinister appeal.

It’s become popular lately among a number of brands to add black accents or paint the entire car black, including the wheels, to appeal to techies and Goths alike.

In the case of the Terrain, the stuff that comes in black includes gloss black spokes, a charcoal grille with a gloss black surround, gloss black front and rear fascia accents, gloss black rear license plate trim, black outside mirrors and black luggage rails.

OK. We get it. It’s got a lot of black. That doesn’t strike us as really auto-show-worthy.

The economy grew more rapidly than expected late last year as stronger consumer spending more than offset sluggish business investment.

The nation’s gross domestic product expanded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.4% in the fourth quarter, above the 1% estimated last month, the Commerce Department said Friday.

That’s still weak by historical standards and below the modest 2.2% average throughout the 7year-old recovery.

The revision paints a healthier picture of the American consumer, possibly boding well for the economy in the current quarter.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the previous 1% estimate to be unchanged. This was the government’s third and final estimate of economic output in the quarter. Commerce did not revise its 2.4% growth estimate for all of 2015.

Good for Jeep for adding another member of its lineup to its toughest offroad category.

We just don’t think adding the Trailhawk name to the big SUV was worth special attention at a big auto show.

It’s a nice change, but it’s not exactly a monumental move when Jeep — one of the best-selling and most successful brands lately — could be showing more substantial new product.

TOYOTA TONKA 4RUNNER

This was another one of those exercises in which an automaker turns over one of its new trucks to a customizer to try to underscore how much enjoyment customers can have adding accessories to make their new cars their own.

For this one, Toyota teamed with Funrise Toy, the company that owns the Tonka brand, to make a life-size SUV that can easily take on trails and mountain roads.

Maybe it’s the giant “Tonka” letters on the side, but this big rig seems too juvenile, given its heft.

The truck just seems excessive.

A woman shops in a Manhattan mall on March 15 in New York City.

A weak global economy, particularly China’s slowdown, and a strong dollar have hurt U.S. manufacturers’ exports. U.S. producers have been hobbled by a deep slump in oil prices that has dampened investment in steel pipes and other drilling-related products.

Strong job gains and solid consumer spending generally have underpinned overall growth.

Consumption increased 2.4% last quarter, up from the 2% previously estimated. Consumers have benefited from strong job growth, low gasoline prices and reduced household debt.

Exports were not as big a drag, falling 2% rather than the 2.7% projected, narrowing the nation’s trade gap.

Businesses pared back stockpiling more than expected, subtracting 0.22% from growth. That could be good news for the economy in the current quarter as companies probably need to scale back their additions to inventory less to meet the feeble demand from overseas customers and the energy sector.

Non-residential business investment fell 2.1%, slightly more than estimated. Housing construction jumped a strongerthan-projected 10.1% as residential real estate recovered.

New Myanmar market dips into stock trading Yangon exchange aims to be symbol of national development Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

U.S. and global investors will soon have a new financial exchange for their trading — in Myanmar.

The Asia-based Yangon Stock Exchange opened Friday with a single listing, fulfilling a plan that managing director U Yin Zaw Myo said in a welcome message to traders had been 20 years in the making.

First Myanmar Investment, a holding company whose corpo-

rate profile on the exchange outlines core investments in the financial services, real estate and health care sectors, made its debut as the new exchange’s initial stock.

Shares of FMI, formed in 1992 and controlled by businessman Serge Pun, began the first-day trading with an opening price of 26,000 kyats per share, or roughly $21.49, based on a pricing recommendation by Myanmar Securities Exchange Centre. The stock rose nearly 20%, the exchange’s daily limit, ending at 31,000 kyats a share, or approximately $25.63, the financial market said in a news release.

Unlike the continuous matching of buyers and sellers in other financial markets, the Myanmar

exchange initially will match buy and sell orders twice a day, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., the Nikkei Asian Review reported. Five additional stocks are scheduled to be added to the exchange this year, Bloomberg Business reported.

Myo’s message said the trading market hopes to draw “existing and potential investors, companies and securities firms” and become a new “symbol of Myanmar’s development.”

Changes to a century-old law

will open the exchange to foreign investors and international jointventures this year, the Myanmar Times reported in December, when the trading center held its grand opening ceremony.

Myanmar had been an unlikely venue for a financial exchange during the nation’s more than 50 years under military control.

Capping a long political struggle, Myanmar’s parliament started a transition to democracy this month by electing Htin Kyaw as president.

“Great strides have been made on the economic front” amid the government change, including moves to allow limited operation of foreign banks, Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ Myanmar unit said in a 2015 business update.

INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS EXPLODE IN CYBERSPACE Hacking targets include infrastructure and corporate powers Elizabeth Weise @eweise USATODAY

FRANCISCO Nation-state hacks that accompany political disagreements are becoming increasingly common as computer breaches hit power grids, government agencies and U.S. corporations.

“We now see them as part of every single conflict — there’s not a regional or an international conflict that doesn’t have a cyber element to it,” said Adam Segal, director of the digital and cyberspace policy program at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

Seven Iranians with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were indicted this month in cyberattacks that disrupted U.S. banking operations and infiltrated the Bowman Avenue Dam in Rye Brook, N.Y., more volleys in a series of politically linked attacks.

Few nations have the technical expertise to carry out highly destructive, state-sponsored cyberattacks, said Segal, whose book, The Hacked World Order: How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in a Digital Age, came out this month.

The United States, Russia, China, Israel, Germany and France are the most advanced in terms of cyberattack ability, though Iran is “moving up the chain,” Segal said.

The United States is strong enough that it has escaped a major attack, he said.

“I think the Russians and the Chinese are basically deterred from attacking the United States because they know if they do, we will retaliate,” he said.

All-out cyber warfare is not a question of if, but when, Segal said, “not only because the potential opponents are getting better but also because we’re getting more vulnerable. We have selfdriving cars, smart power grids, connected home devices. All of those are new vulnerabilities that aren’t well-protected.”

SAN

A RUNDOWN OF ONLINE OUTRAGES Though long-distance attacks via the Internet might seem like something out of an action movie rather than real life, the number of incidents has been growing over the past 10 years.

Some of the most egregious include: 2015 — Russia is accused of launching a cyberattack against the Ukrainian power grid. The attacks cause power outages in 103 cities and towns in Ukraine. Russia had been involved in military clashes with Ukraine over Crimea.

2015 — Hackers gain access to a steel mill in Germany, rendering it unable to shut down its blast furnace. This results in massive damage to the foundry. The attack was described in a report by Germany’s Federal Office for Security in Information Technology. The steel mill was not named, and no date for the attack was given.

2014 — North Korean hackers are suspected of destroying the computer network of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The attack may be retaliation for a satirical movie called “The Interview,” starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, about two bungling journalists who coordinate an assassination of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. 2014 — Hackers breach the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and steal information about more than 21 million Americans who had been subject to government background checks. U.S. government officials privately blame China.

China later arrests several hackers accused in the attack just before Chinese President Xi Jinping pays a state visit to the United States.

2014 — Iranian hackers shut down the computer network of the Las Vegas Sands, the world’s largest gaming company. The motivation may have been to respond to billionaire owner Sheldon Adelson’s remarks about attacking Iran with nuclear weapons if the country didn’t put the brakes on its nuclear program.

2011-2013 — Iranians employed by two Iranian-based computer firms with ties to the government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly disrupt U.S. banking operations. The cyberattacks disable bank websites, prevent customers from accessing their accounts online and cost the victimized banks tens of millions of dollars, according to U.S. federal prosecutors.

2012 — A computer virus nicknamed Shamoon attacks the Saudi Arabian state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco, erasing data on as many as 30,000 computers and forcing the company to shut down much of its computer network. U.S. officials suspect Iran was behind the attack.

2010 — Computer security firms discover Stuxnet, a computer worm created by the United States and Israel to disable Iranian centrifuges used to separate nuclear material and thus cripple Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The worm first appeared in 2009 but wasn’t widely known until 2011. The Iranian attacks on U.S. banks from 2011 to 2013 may have been a response to the Stuxnet attack.

2008 — Cyberattackers hit the computer servers of officials in the Georgian government as Russia and Georgia engage in a shooting war over the breakaway region of South Ossetia. Georgian officials blamed Russia, though Russia said it was not involved.

2007 — Coordinated cyberattacks crash the websites of dozens of Estonian institutions, including its Parliament, banks, ministries and news organizations. The country’s foreign minister accuses Russia of being behind the attacks in retaliation over Estonia moving a Sovietera grave marker and the country’s general movement away from the Russian sphere of influence.

TWEET TALK STARS SOUND OFF ON GARRY SHANDLING’S DEATH Steve Martin: Garry Shandling was a very special comedian with a beautifully unpredictable mind. He even voluntarily offered jokes and ideas for Oscars.

Jeffrey Tambor: Garry was/will always be my teacher. He redesigned the wheel of comedy and was the kindest and funniest of geniuses. Will miss him so much.

Amy Schumer: Goodbye Gary Shandling thank you for your kindness and your generosity and for making me laugh so damn much.

Ricky Gervais: RIP the great Garry Shandling. Surely, one of the most influential comedians of a generation.

Jimmy Kimmel: Garry Shandling was as kind and generous as he was funny and that is saying a lot.

Seth MacFarlane: Saddened over Garry Shandling. He was a comedy idol of mine. He leaves behind the greatest singlecamera comedy of all time. #LarrySanders IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

What went on behind the scenes of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?

USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell got the scoop from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, courtesy of Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot.

1

BATMAN’S NO LONGER A CATWOMAN GUY

Chemistry between Batman and Wonder Woman sizzles in Batman v Superman, but where will it go? “Batman was supposed to be the world’s greatest detective on top of it all, and then here was this woman he couldn’t figure out, and he was hunting down and who was forever slipping between his fingers,” says Affleck of Wonder Woman.

“There’s something kind of fun and sexy about that in the movie and slightly flirtatious. Where it goes you’ll have to buy tickets to Justice League.” Well played, Batman.

2

THIS WONDER WOMAN LIKES THE FIGHT.

In one scene, Gadot’s Wonder Woman offers a slight smile as she brandishes her sword and prepares to attack. “That was me,” Gadot says. “I remember after we did that take, (director) Zack (Snyder) came to me and asked me, ‘Did you just have a smirk on your — what was that? Was that intentional?’ ” Snyder went forward with her spirited portrayal. “I really felt it was correct for Wonder Woman,” he says. “There was a joy in her. ... I thought it was a cool way to start to kind of get into what makes her tick.”

3

AFFLECK STAYED IN HIS LANE

PHOTOS BY CLAY ENOS, WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Gal Gadot added her own sass and bravado to Wonder Woman, and wowed the director in the process.

4

You’d think coming off an Oscar win for Argo would make Affleck a little bossy in his batsuit, but Affleck says he stuck with one job: being Bruce Wayne.

“I actually prefer acting in a movie with a really strong director and script and a great cast, which is what we had in this movie,” he says. “I feel relieved that all the other stuff isn’t my headache and responsibility — and a movie like this, there’s a lot of headache and responsibility.”

EVEN SUPERMAN NEEDS A ZIPPER

Let’s just say these suitedup superheroes had to strategize around their bathroom breaks.

Cavill learned his lesson from his last go-round. “I made sure I had a zipper in my suit. I learned my mistake from Man of Steel,” he said. Still, says Affleck, “you have to plan it out. The metal (battle costume), that one I had to be drilled into. That took a long time, the guys had to do all the screws and everything to keep it together. I felt a little bit like the Tin Man in The Wiz.” Ben Affleck was happy to just be Batman, leaving the heavy lifting of moviemaking to director Zack Snyder.

5

JUSTICE LEAGUE IS A FAMILY AFFAIR

Justice League: Part One, shooting this spring and summer in London, will reunite DC Comics characters Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman. Families are invited, too. “Jen and the kids will come to London,” says Affleck. “They’re going to come, but then also travel all over Europe.“ While his four-year-old, Samuel, was mighty impressed with dad’s new gig, “my girls don’t like the superhero world as much as my son does,” says Affleck. “My eldest is really into Harry Potter. I think she would be more impressed if I was one of the gnomes in the bank in Harry Potter.“

Lukas Graham had just popped a bottle of champagne when he got the call that his dad died.

Doing press at the time in Germany in 2012, he immediately traveled back to his native Denmark to be with his family. But it wasn’t until about a year later that he started processing his grief through songwriting, the result of which is 7 Years: a wistful pop ballad about growing up and getting old. Since its release last fall, the track has climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and sold 659,000 downloads, according to Nielsen Music.

“It was definitely cathartic to write — it’s weird to describe what it’s like to lose a parent,” Graham says. Hearing fans’ responses, “most are quite positive, but some people find it very sad and dispiriting, where I find it empowering. It’s supposed to give you life energy rather than suck the living daylights out of you.”

Graham grew up in Christi-

CHAPMAN BAEHLER

ania, a self-governing artistic community in Denmark, and started singing with the Copenhagen Boys Choir when he was 8 years old. The freedom and creativity that environment fostered “gave me a lot of my backing, in terms of people encouraging you to do what you want to do and be an artist,” says Graham, 27 (whose full name is Lukas Graham Forchhammer).

Living in Buenos Aires and New York after high school, he eventually moved back to Denmark and started a band, which shares his name and consists of drummer Mark Falgren, bassist Magnus

Larsson and keyboardist Kasper Daugaard. They posted a performance of one of their first songs, Criminal Mind, on YouTube in 2011, and two years later signed to Warner Bros. Records in the USA. They’re gearing up for the stateside release of their selftitled debut album, out April 1.

Laid-back and soulful songs effortlessly blend elements of hiphop and folk while relaying oftentimes relatable experiences, such as coming from nothing (Mama Said) and regrettable booty calls (Drunk In the Morning).

Like 7 Years, Don’t You Worry ’Bout Me and Funeral grapple

with loss, but in a more upbeat fashion.

The album’s cover also has significance to Graham. It shows a young boy in what is presumably a museum, looking at a picture of a naked woman. The painting is a piece of artwork from a Copenhagen café where his parents took him for “fancy dinners” as a child.

“It was only after I was grown up that I realized that café wasn’t a fancy restaurant — it wasn’t expensive in any way,” Graham says. “I grew up poor and never noticed that, so putting that picture on the cover is a tribute to my childhood. The picture also characterizes our music: naked and beautiful.”

The band will next embark on a nearly sold-out North American tour, kicking off March 28 in West Hollywood. Graham says his band’s roller-coaster year has been “amazing,” although he only wishes his father were here to experience it.

“I have no doubts he’d be happy. He was a big supporter and he’d be proud of the way I’m doing it. It’s a pity he can’t see it.”

Mason driven to move Jayhawks past ’Nova

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — Just a freshman, Frank Mason III made a key blunder on Villanova’s shot heard ’round the Bahamas back in 2013.

It was a mistake on a game-winning three by current 6-foot-3 ’Nova senior Ryan Arcidiacono that haunted the Jayhawks’ guard for a long time.

“It stuck with me a few weeks. I was really thinking about it, that it was my fault.

As a freshman, I didn’t know what to do. I think I came back stronger, locked in and have paid more attention to detail since then,” said the 5-foot-11 Mason, who watched helplessly as Arci-

of the 2013 Battle for Atlantis tourney.

The media peppered the Jayhawks with questions about that game on Friday, eve of today’s NCAA Tournament South Regional Elite Eight contest between KU (33-4) and Villanova (32-5). Tipoff between the regional’s 1 and 2 seeds is set for 7:49 p.m. Central time in KFC Yum! Center.

Mason remembers exactly where he erred in the Bummer in the Bahamas.

VILLANOVA GUARD RYAN ARCIDIACONO PUTS UP A THREE over “I had a pretty decent Kansas forward Perry Ellis (34) in this file photo from Nov. 29, game (12 points). Coach left 2013, in Paradise Island, Bahamas. Arcidiacono hit the three, me in as a freshman. We had giving the Wildcats the lead and the eventual win over KU. a rule where you can’t show on out of bounds, you don’t diacono cashed a three with in the unranked Wildcats’ help out of bounds,” Mason 10 seconds left. The trey 63-59 victory over then-No. recalled. “I kind of helped erased a one-point KU lead 2-rated KU in the semifinals another teammate, on his

guy. I lost ‘Archie.’ He went out on a double screen and knocked the shot down, and they won the game.”

Older and wiser, junior point guard Mason is smart enough to realize talk of a game two seasons ago is just that: talk.

Today’s game is for a spot in the Final Four.

“It doesn’t mean anything now. We have bigger things to focus on, and that’s tomorrow’s game,” Mason said.

Rest assured, KU will be prepared for today’s contest.

The Jayhawks, since the Iowa State game in Ames many moons ago, have not

Ellis, Jenkins ‘mismatch nightmares’ Louisville, Ky. — He is a highly skilled power forward in the midst of the hottest scoring streak of his career, defending much better than in younger years and coming off a monster Thursday night game that launched his school into an Elite Eight game today.

His name is Perry Ellis.

His name is Kris Jenkins.

Kansas University’s Ellis, a 6-foot-8 senior from Wichita, and Villanova’s Jenkins, a 6-6 junior from Upper Marlboro, Md., square off in what makes for the most intriguing matchup of today’s South Regional final that sends

the loser home and the winner to the Final Four.

Jenkins made five of six three-pointers and produced 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists in a 92-69 rout of Miami.

Kansas rode Ellis (27 points) to a 79-63 victory against Maryland.

Rockets 112, Raptors 109 Houston — James Harden had his third triple-double this season with 32 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds to help Houston snap a three-game skid with a victory over Toronto.

Houston squandered a double-digit lead early but opened the fourth quarter with a big run to take control.

Patrick Patterson scored five quick points to get Toronto within 110-107 with 10.1 seconds remaining, but Trevor Ariza made two free throws after that to secure the win.

It’s Toronto’s second straight loss overall and its ninth loss in a row in Houston, where the Raptors haven’t won since 2007.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Stanford hires Haase Stanford, Calif. — Stanford hired University of Alabama at Birmingham coach Jerod Haase as its new basketball coach Friday, a week and a half after firing eighthyear coach Johnny Dawkins.

Athletic director Bernard Muir is determined to return the Cardinal to being a regular NCAA Tournament contender as the program was under longtime coach Mike Montgomery over nearly two decades. Haase will be formally introduced Monday on The Farm.

The 41-year-old Haase is returning to his Northern California roots to coach Stanford.

He was born in South Lake Tahoe and even spent the 1992-93 season at rival California before transferring to Kansas University, where he played for coach Roy Williams and later coached under him for 13 years with the Jayhawks and at North Carolina.

His UAB team reached the NCAA Tournament last year then lost in the first round of the NIT at BYU this season.

pointing season ended in the NIT. The move was announced by athletic director Mike Bobinski, who had said a year ago the Yellow Jackets would need to show significant signs of improvement for Gregory to keep his job.

While Georgia Tech made the postseason for the first time in Gregory’s five seasons as coach, that wasn’t enough. The Yellow Jackets won a pair of NIT games before losing at San Diego State 72-56 on Wednesday night.

Gregory was dismissed after posting an overall record of 76-86, which included a dismal 27-61 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He built this season’s roster heavily around transfers but fell short the NCAA Tournament spot that might have saved his job.

“It’s hard to deny that would have given us a different thought,” Bobinski said in a news conference.

NBA roundup Timberwolves 132, Wizards 129, 2OT Washington — Karl-Anthony Towns scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Minnesota dealt a blow to Washington’s playoff hopes with a double-overtime victory Friday night.

Zach LaVine added 25 points, and Gorgui Dieng scored 18 while helping the Timberwolves to comebacks at the end of regulation and the second overtime.

Bradley Beal scored 26 points as the 10th-place Wizards fell 31⁄2 games behind Detroit for the Eastern Conference’s eighth and final playoff spot.

John Wall had 22 points and a season-high tying 16 assists, and Marcin Gortat had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Washington. But Gortat missed a pair of free throws with a chance to take the lead late in the second overtime.

Minnesota hit all 22 of its foul shots for its first back-toback wins since Feb. 3 and 6.

Down five in the second overtime, Andrew Wiggins hit a putback, and Dieng made a pair of jumpers, the second off LaVine’s pass to put Minnesota up 130-129.

After Jared Dudley missed a three-pointer for Washington, Dieng fouled Gortat on the rebound. But Gortat, who entered the game shooting 72.4 percent from the line, missed both foul shots.

Warriors’ forward Markief Morris left following the first quarter due to a left calf cramp.

Taylor said Friday he cannot fully evaluate the job that Newton has done until he goes through the process of drafting players and signing free agents. Once that is over, this summer, Taylor will sit down with Newton to make a final decision.

Krauth sparkles, but KU tumbles J-W Staff Reports

Three West Virginia pitchers scattered seven hits, but no runs.

Winner Chad Donato (1-2) allowed five hits, with a walk and five strikeouts, over seven shutout innings.

“You are not going to get 14 or 15 hits on Friday night in our conference. The caliber of pitching is way too good,” Price said. “Donato has been a quality guy for them for three straight years. He was really good again tonight. He beat us with one pitch. That was the most disappointing thing for me tonight was we were not able to be on time and take his fastball away and make him mix his pitches.”

Colby Wright went 2-for-3 for Kansas (7-12, 0-1).

The series will resume at 2 p.m. today.

Ben Krauth allowed just three hits and struck out a career-best 12, but Kansas University’s offense couldn’t support him in a 1-0 Big 12 baseball loss to West Virginia on Friday at Hoglund Ballpark.

WVU (11-8 overall, 1-3 Big 12) pushed across the only run in the second, on an RBI single from Jimmy Galusky.

Before — and after — that, it was all zeros for both teams.

Krauth (1-4) was charged with the lone run. He walked four in eight innings. In his last three outings, Krauth has thrown 25 innings, given up three runs and struck John Young/Journal-World Photo out 30 batters.

FREE STATE’S CAITLIN MCANDREW-BECKMAN clears a hurdle in the 100-yard hurdles during a track and field meet Friday at FSHS.

Ozark, Mo. — Free State High senior pitcher Trevor Munsch struck out six and gave up only two hits in six innings, propelling his baseball team to a 5-0 victory against Ozark on Friday.

The Firebirds (3-0) only had four singles, but gave Munsch plenty of run support. Junior Dale Miller hit a two-run single in the fourth inning, and senior Bradley Collicott had an RBI single in the fifth.

“We didn’t get a lot of hits, but we got timely hits,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “I thought our pitching was fantastic.

Only two hits.”

Junior Aaron Funk tossed a hitless seventh inning, striking out one.

The Firebirds will play at Branson (Mo.) at 10 a.m. today.

LHS baseball falls to Seaman

LAWRENCE HIGH’S CAROLINE DYKES makes her first attempt in the girls high jump during the Free State Invitational.

Topeka — Facing one of the top pitchers in the state, Lawrence High’s baseball team only had two hits in a 7-0 loss against Topeka Seaman on Friday.

Seaman senior righthander Ryan Zeferjahn,

who has signed to play at Kansas University, struck out 11 in a complete game.

LHS sophomores Reese Carmona and Devin Lauts each hit a single for the Lions, and sophomore pitcher Ethan Taylor struck out two in 11⁄3 innings pitched.

Tulsa topples KU tennis, 4-2 Tulsa, Okla. — Kansas University’s Anastasiya Rychagova won at No. 1 singles, but KU’s women’s tennis team fell to Tulsa, 4-2, on Friday in its final nonconference match of the season.

KU also won the doubles point, with Maria Jose Cardona teaming with Summer Collins for a victory at No. 2, and Smith Hinton combining with Rychagova for a win at No. 3.

KU fell to 12-3, and Tulsa improved to 16-2.

“Today was a tough match between two solid teams,” KU coach Todd Chapman said. “I thought we just got outplayed down the stretch by a good team. We started slow in the doubles, and then raised our levels at the end.

In the singles, I feel like it was the opposite.”

The Jayhawks will play at TCU on Friday and at Texas Tech on April 3.

Starting time Royals: Kennedy said the biggest takeaway of the day was getting his pitch count up.

“I fell behind a lot of hitters,” he said. “I was hoping to go deeper into the game, get up and down a couple more times, but I threw so many pitches early on. Even the innings I wasn’t giving up runs, I was throwing a lot of pitches.”

Kennedy said his fastball command was not that far off and his changeup was pretty good.

“I was barely missing and I was missing down,” Kennedy said. “With Belt, I didn’t get it quite as high as I wanted. I tried elevating that pitch, but it didn’t happen. It’s about getting ready for the season rather than focus on results.”

With George Kottaras in the original lineup as designated hitter, Kennedy was surprised when Cueto came to bat in the third.

“I heard his name and turned around and saw him,” he said. “I was prepared to face Kottaras.”

Giants: Cueto said he’s ready to start the regular season after throwing over 90 pitches, using everything in his repertoire.

“Everything was working and I felt comfortable,” Cueto said. “My objective was to get my work done and try to throw to the inside when I want and to the outside when I want.”

Cueto led off the third inning with a single to right field and had to hustle to beat a throw

by Paulo Orlando. They exchanged a few lighthearted words afterward.

“I had to run hard or get thrown out,” he said.

“I don’t like hitting that much, but I do like moving the runner up.”

Cueto said he enjoyed going up against his old teammates, too.

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS, SECOND FROM RIGHT, LAUGHS AS KANSAS COACH BILL SELF, RIGHT, TALKS about what it was like recruiting Ellis during a news conference Friday in Louisville, Ky. The rest of the Jayhawks are, from far left, Devonté Graham, Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and Landen Lucas.

has space. If he comes up on him, he’s driving by him. Kris does the same thing.”

This might be a nice time to share that the lack of self-importance on the stages from which the coaches conducted their news conferences was quite refreshing.

Listen to Wright and KU’s Bill Self field questions and it’s easy to determine why they rank among the most successful coaches in college basketball. They communicate masterfully, com-

mand the attention of a room, make everyone on hand feel as if they are being treated to a one-on-one conversation.

They take their answers a level or two beyond the obvious.

For example, when Wright was asked what led to Jenkins’ recent torrid stretch, his answer was as counter-intuitive as it was thought-provoking.

“He had always played as an overweight player, out-of-shape player,” Wright said. “And last year he cut weight, but he still didn’t know how to play like a finely conditioned player. About halfway through this year, he found his stam-

ina. He found his stride.

And he played defense consistently, rebounded consistently.”

Consequently, his minutes went up and so did his scoring average.

Jenkins averaged 10.9 points in Villanova’s first 26 games, 19.6 points in the past 11, shooting 50 percent from three down the stretch.

Jenkins said he lugged 280 pounds with him to Villanova and has shed about 40 pounds.

“Both of them are going to have to chase each other, and both of them can post up,” Wright said of the matchup. “Now, Perry can post up deeper and use his size on Kris. Kris

has got like a mid-range post-up game. I think Kris might have a little bit better range that would extend Perry. I think Perry’s better driving off the dribble.”

Self also called it “a key matchup. I do think they’ll guard each other a good portion of the time when they’re in there together.”

Stars guarding each other isn’t that common in college basketball, but both teams have so many scorers that it makes sense just to match up based on position and size.

“One of the challenges for us would be Perry getting to shooters,” Self said. “Even

though he can guard a perimeter player, he’s not used to guarding somebody that has the freedom and the ability to make hard, distant threes.”

Ellis has scored at least 20 points in seven of eight games. No other remaining player in the tournament can say the same. So far, opposing coaches haven’t used junk defenses to try to slow him down, and Wright did a nice job of explaining why.

“Perry Ellis, for his position, one on one, is an outstanding player,” Wright said. “But it’s not like there’s a large amount of distance between him and his team-

mates for their positions.

So you just can’t do it.

You’ve got to try to play him straight up.

“And if you give him too much attention, they have a way of getting (Wayne) Selden going.

(Devonté) Graham gets going. I mean, Graham was the MVP of the Big 12 tournament, right? So if you give (Ellis) too much attention, these guys, every one of these guys can kill you.”

The same can be said of the other four Wildcats should KU attempt to pay special attention to Jenkins. The better two-way power forward tonight has a very good shot at playing in his first Final Four.

only had official meetings with the coaches to discuss opponents’ personnel and strategy, but also regularly meet among themselves.

For example, the guards on the late January trip to Iowa decided to get together as a group about a half hour before an official scouting-report meeting with coach Bill Self and his aides.

“We call it ‘Guard Talk,’” sophomore Devonté Graham said of meetings that include the guards, plus forward Jamari Traylor simply because he’s roommate of guard Wayne Selden Jr., who hosts the sessions.

“We get scouting reports, so we go over personnel, see what these guys like to do, make sure guys are quizzing each other on if this guy likes to go right more or left more, what’s his favorite move or things like that,” Graham added.

You can bet the Jayhawks will be discussing players such as ’Nova guards Arcidiacono, Jalen Brunson and All-Big East player Josh Hart, who have led the Wildcats to three NCAA Tourney blowouts over UNC

Asheville, Iowa and Miami. Villanova has made 97 of 162 shots for 59.9 percent and has 61 assists on those field goals. ’Nova has converted 33 of 62 threes for 53.2 percent.

Arcidiacono is averaging 17.0 ppg off 65.4 percent shooting in the tourney.

“It was Frank’s idea,” Selden said. “We do scouting report every night as a team, but the guards meet before. We do it to key in on stuff and focus even more and get more in-

depth and have everybody on the same page.”

As far as Traylor’s role, Selden said: “It’s helpful for him, too, because there are times he can be guarding guards, because we’ll switch.”

It’s mind-challenging work, Traylor said, indicating the only thing going on besides discussing strategy might be munching on snacks.

“But it’s pretty much serious business,” he assured.

The leader of the pack, Mason, explained his role in organizing the guard meetings.

“I know how important it is with it being one game at a time,” Mason said. “I decided to get the guards together an extra 15, 20 minutes before we head down to scouting report with the coaches, really go over everything and question ’em and make sure they know everything on the scouting report because they really need to know it during the game.

“I wanted to make sure we know what to do so we can execute better and give ourselves the best chance to win. It’s worked for us.”

There might be a slight chance Mason mentions something besides strategy during the pre-Villanova guard meeting. And also at official team meetings. Freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. said Mason and Selden have been quite vocal, especially of late.

“They did get the last win,” Mason said of Villanova’s win over KU at Atlantis resort. KU leads the all-time series 3-2, including a 72-57 win in the 2008 Sweet 16 in Detroit.

“I think our guys take pride in winning games.

We want to come out more focused and give us every chance to win the game.”

THE VILLANOVA STARTERS, FROM LEFT, JALEN BRUNSON, KRIS JENKINS, JOSH HART, Daniel Ochefu and Ryan Arcidiacono, sit with coach Jay Wright as they wait for questions Friday in Louisville, Ky. ’Nova will meet Kansas University in an Elite Eight game at 7:49 tonight.

Three matchup: efficiency vs. volume

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — Even with second-seeded Villanova shooting a red-hot 53 percent in this year’s NCAA Tournament — including a 10-of-15 clip in Thursday’s Sweet 16 victory over Miami — topseeded Kansas University enters tonight’s Elite Eight showdown with significantly better threepoint statistics.

The Jayhawks, after rolling to a 33-4 record and their first trip to the Elite Eight since 2012, enter tonight’s game shooting .422 from three-point range and are on the verge of breaking KU’s single-season record for three-point attempts.

KU, which has hit 298 of 706 shots from threepoint range this season, needs to hoist just five three-pointers against Villanova — 7:49 p.m. tipoff on CBS — to top the record of 710 attempts set by the 2010-11 team. The 298 makes, which ranks 29th nationally, already are 27 more threes than

any KU team has made in a season.

Those numbers, while important by Kansas standards, merely represent a cute little story through the eyes of a Villanova team that has attempted a school-record-shattering 909 threes (10th nationally) — but made just 26 more than Kansas for a .356 percentage — heading into tonight’s do-ordie game against the Jayhawks (33-4).

A big reason the Wildcats (32-5) have spent the season launching more three-pointers than ever before is coach Jay Wright’s philosophy on the three-point shot.

“We have a saying, ‘Shoot ’em up and sleep in the streets,’” began Wright of a phrase from an old NBA sharpshooter that he once read in a book. “The concept is, to be a great shooter, you have to be willing to keep shooting, even on a night, when, if you don’t make them, no one’s going to let you come into their house. They’re going to make you sleep in

the streets, you were so bad. If you’re going to be a great shooter, you can’t fear sleeping in the streets. We talk about that all the time.”

This season, five Villanova players shot at least 118 three-pointers, and that fivesome’s 297 makes were just one fewer than the entire Kansas team.

Few three-point shots represent a bad look in the eyes of the Wildcats, even those that come from 35 feet and touch nothing but net — like the shot junior forward Kris Jenkins drilled against Miami on Thursday night, one of his five three-point makes in six attempts in the Wildcats’ most recent victory.

“Whether I shoot bad or whether I have a great shooting game, I always believe the next one’s going in,” Jenkins said.

That is the idea, according to Wright.

“I want our players to have the confidence,” he said. “If you’re going to have a game where you shoot 8-for-11, you can’t be afraid to have that game

where you shoot 1-for-11.

If your coach doesn’t let you do it, you’re never going to have that 8-for-11 game. That’s our theory.”

Kansas coach Bill Self has a much different approach to the three-point shot, even if this year’s numbers indicate at least a temporary warming to the idea of more bombs.

“Making jump shots all the time and not playing through the post some or driving the ball can be fool’s gold,” Self reiterated. “… that can’t be all you rely on.”

Kansas certainly has not leaned too heavily on the three-point shot during its current tournament run.

KU has attempted just 41 threes in three games — compared to 62 for Villanova — and took just nine in Thursday’s win over Maryland.

So it’ll be high efficiency versus high volume behind the arc when the Jayhawks and Wildcats meet tonight.

As for which team stands a better chance of slowing down the hot

shooters that will fill the floor, the numbers show Kansas with a slight edge.

The Jayhawks rank 63rd in three-point defense (.323), and Villanova ranks 139th (.339).

Those numbers, though, are the accumulation of a 37-game season, which Villanova guard Josh Hart said is not what matters tonight.

“That’s the thing about the tournament,” Hart began. “A lot of times it’s who’s hot. And we’re hot right now... I think we can sustain it and make a little bit further of a run.”

Ali-Frazier As a loud and proud Philadelphia guy coaching in the hometown of Muhammad Ali, Wright was asked Friday for his preference in the classic bouts between legendary boxers Ali and Phily’s Joe Frazier.

“Wow,” Wright said. “I was hoping no one would ever ask me that here. I’m a Phily guy. I was always Joe Frazier, with great respect for Muhammad Ali and everything he’s done

outside of boxing. We’ve quoted him. But in Phily, Smokin’ Joe is the man.

The underdog. The fighter. The Rocky. We love Smokin’ Joe.”

Recovering respect In the tumultuous days of conference realignment, few conferences took as big of a blow as the Big East, which lost several core schools and had to move forward reinventing itself in the shadows of its once dominant days.

Wright was asked if getting Villanova to the Final Four would be a huge lift for the new-look Big East.

“My first responsibility is to these guys,” Wright said of his current players. “I really would love to see these guys play in the Final Four. As far as the Big East is concerned, that would be a by-product of watching these guys be really successful. We’re a new league. So if we can do that for the league, I do think it would help our respect level. And if we can be a part of that, I’d be really proud to do that.”

NOTEBOOK

KU’s Graham says he’s over cramps monitor to make sure the shot counted.

Mason said he didn’t mean to commit an unsportsmanlike act.

“I thought the game was over. I just threw it up there,” Mason said.

Some thought Mason actually could have been called for traveling before flipping up the final shot with his left hand.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — Kansas University sophomore guard Devonté Graham thinks he’s over the bout of the cramps that affected him in the second half of Thursday’s Sweet 16 victory over Maryland.

“This morning they monitored what I was eating, making sure I got a lot of carbs and calories in me,” said Graham, who, for some reason, “kind of didn’t have an appetite (Thursday),” thus didn’t eat much prior to the 7963 victory over the Terps.

“I’ve been drinking little shakes. I took some pills this morning and last night to relax my muscles so I wouldn’t be too sore,” Graham added.

Graham dispelled the notion he had the flu.

“I wasn’t feeling under the weather or anything,” he said. “I was feeling good the first half.

Second half, when we warmed up, I was feeling good. Two minutes in, I started cramping bad in my legs and back.”

He scored two points in 37 minutes.

“I was trying to fight through the cramps,” Graham said. “The whole second half was kind of rough. I tried to keep fighting. I got to the hotel last night and didn’t realize how tired I was. I don’t even remember falling asleep. I was kind of worn out from it.” l

KANSAS GUARD SVI MYKHAILIUK, TOP, LEANS IN as forward Jamari Traylor shows him some music on his iPhone in the team locker room Friday at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. izes KU faces a hot team in No. 2-seed and No. 6-ranked (AP poll) Villanova, which has made 59.9 percent of its shots and 53.2 percent of its threes in three NCAA Tournament wins.

“Preparation is so short.

We’re talking about a 45-minute practice today and scouts. So there will probably be more time prepping for ’Nova off the court as far as film work or getting guys to understand scouting reports than there probably will be on the court,” Self said.

“They’re probably playing as well as anybody that we’ve gone against in recent memory.

They’re on fire right now.

It’s one thing to shoot l a high percentage, but ’Nova on fire: Self real- to shoot that high a per-

likely won’t play today because of stiffness and pain in his back.

“I’ve suspected that he wouldn’t be very effective for a while. We put him in Des Moines (first and second round), and every time he turned, he winced,” KU coach Bill Self said. “There was a play in Des Moines where there was a shot, and a rebound came to his man, and he just reached out and grabbed him. Just reached out and grabbed him with the ball intentionally. I said, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘Coach, I had to. I can’t move.’ So we’ll check him out again, but I don’t think that he’ll be available to us.”

centage with the volume of threes they’ve been shooting makes it even more impressive. Everybody’s making them. It’s not like you can just key on one guy.

“So they’re a red-hot team right now. But, honestly, we’ve been playing pretty well ourselves. So we won’t want to change how we’re playing, but we certainly need to emphasize on how to get to their shooters and, certainly, still guard the ball and keep it out of the paint.” l

What was that?: Frank Mason III tossed in a meaningless shot before the buzzer sounded in KU’s 79-63 win over the Terps.

Game officials conferred and checked the

Past adventures: KU beat Villanova, 72-57, in the 2008 Sweet 16 in Detroit. The Jayhawks lost to ’Nova, 63-59, in the 2013 Battle For Atlantis tourney in Bahamas. “ In ’08, we played really, really well the first half. I don’t remember exactly how it played out, but we played very, very well the first half. That team was on a roll at that time, and we were able to hang on,” Self said. KU went on to beat Davidson in the Elite Eight.

“Then in Atlantis, ’Nova kept us from playing with any rhythm at all. I mean, Wiggs (Andrew Wiggins) and Joel (Embiid) were freshmen, and they had young guys playing, too, but they out-scrapped us. And certainly their pressure and their press bothered us at times. But we had a one-point lead with out of bounds under Villanova’s basket, and Ryan (Arcidiacono) makes a three to win the game,” Self noted.

“So, certainly, not a good memory but one that I think that we certainly grew from. But I think that the teams his-

torically, at least in the times we’ve played, have been pretty evenly match and we got the best of one and they got the best of one.”

KU leads the all-time series, 3-2. l

He’s good: ’Nova point guard Arcidiacono averages 12.3 ppg with 163 assists, 55 turnovers.

“I think every team would love to have Ryan as their point guard or as one of their lead guards.

We would too. We’d love to have Ryan. I don’t know if there’s a college program in the country that wouldn’t love to have him,” Self said. “The things that he does well, he’s a great leader. He’s tough, probably as much as anything else. He does such a good job of playing at different speeds and getting guys off balance.

“He gets inside of people because he’s so good with the ball, shot fakes or he’s got great feet. But he’s a winner. I think I heard Jay (Wright, ’Nova coach) say that he can basically coach his team because he’s heard his voice so many times and he knows exactly what Jay wants.

And there’s times that he can actually run things.

Maybe I misheard the quote, but I thought Jay said something like that.

So I think that Frank and Devonté are totally different in their approach in how they lead, but I certainly think that Ryan is one of the best leaders and one of the best guards in the country.

IOWA STATE’S GEORGES NIANG (31) DRIVES against Virginia’s Anthony Gill (13) and Isaiah Wilkins during the first half of Virginia’s 84-71 victory in a Midwest Regional semifinal of the NCAA Tournament on Friday in Chicago.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Virginia eliminates Iowa State, 84-71 The Associated Press

Midwest Regional Virginia 84, Iowa State 71 Chicago — Anthony Gill finished with a season-high 23 points, Mike Tobey came off the bench to score 18, and top-seeded Virginia beat Iowa State in the Midwest Region semifinals on Friday night.

The Cavaliers (29-7) withstood a second-half push by the fourth-seeded Cyclones (23-12) after grabbing a big lead in the early going and advanced to their first regional final since 1995.

Virginia will face Syracuse on Sunday. A win would send the Cavaliers to their first Final Four since 1984, when coach Tony Bennett was a teenager.

Georges Niang had another big game for Iowa State, finishing with 30 points after scoring 28 against both Iona and Arkansas-Little Rock in the first two rounds.

With a chance to go farther than they ever did under predecessor Fred Hoiberg, the Cyclones never could recover from a flat start in the arena where “The Mayor” now coaches the Chicago Bulls.

They got outscored 5236 in the paint, with Gill finishing two points shy of a career high and Tobey missing his personal best by one. Gill had eight rebounds while Tobey grabbed seven.

North Carolina 101, Indiana 86 Philadelphia — Marcus Paige scored 21 points, and North Carolina continued its offensive prowess, moving to the Elite Eight for the 20th time since 1975 with a victory over Indiana.

The top-seeded Tar Heels (31-6) will meet sixth-seeded Notre Dame on Sunday, determining one of two guaranteed Atlantic Coast Conference spots in the Final Four. The Fighting Irish beat Wisconsin 61-56 on Friday.

It will be the same case in the Midwest Regional, where top-seeded Virginia will face 10th-seeded Syracuse, meaning at least half the Final Four will be from the ACC. Brice Johnson had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who are in the regional final for the seventh time in coach Roy Williams’ 12 years.

Jackson sealed the win with a pair of free throws to send the Irish (24-11) into a regional final for the second straight season.

Tyler Lydon sealed the win with a block on Josh Perkins’ runner in the final seconds.

Lydon then grabbed the ball and made two foul shots before Domantas Sabonis’ desperate fling was well off at the buzzer.
