Jury: McLinn guilty of murder Faces 50 years without parole; sentencing Monday

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Jurors found Sarah Gonzales McLinn guilty of first-degree murder in the January 2014 killing of Harold “Hal” Sasko Friday in Douglas County court.

The jury deliberated for nearly five hours before determining that McLinn, 20, of Lawrence, was able to form in-

tent when she used a long, black knife to slice the neck of Sasko, 52, of Lawrence, on Jan. 14, 2014.

McLinn lived with Sasko at the time of his death and had previously worked for him at Sasko’s CiCi’s Pizza restaurant. In order to find McLinn not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, jurors had to find that she was “incapable of possessing the required culpable mental state” to plan

and intend to kill Sasko.

A determination on a “Hard 50” sentence — 50 years in jail without the possibility of parole — will wait until Monday. Jurors must decide if there were “aggravating factors” in the murder that justify the sentence.

On Wednesday, jurors watched McLinn’s videotaped post-arrest interview Please see MCLINN, page 2A

“She had an awful lot of puppies,” Meghji said.

“Several were still-born, and we lost a couple later. We are trying to be as cautiously optimistic as possible.”

Four of the pups were still-born, but one of the biggest challenges caretakers faced was that Penny, who is roughly 18 months old, was not a natural mother, Meghji said. She would not accept three of the nine pups that were left.

Those pups were placed in a foster home and bottle fed, but they did not survive.

“It is heartbreaking,” Meghji said. “But Penny is doing great, she is warming up to people, and so are the remaining puppies. It’s been challenging.”

On Friday, jurors heard testimony from psychiatrist William Logan, who conducted a forensic evaluation of McLinn for the prosecution. The defense hired psychologist Marilyn Hutchinson, who testified Thursday.

Hutchinson, who examined McLinn for total of 17 and a half hours between February 2014 and July 2014, said Thursday that she diagnosed McLinn with dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personalities. Hutchinson said she refers to McLinn as “the system of Sarah.”

Within that “system” are “Vanessa,” “Alyssa,” “Mila” and “No-name,” Hutchinson said.

Logan said Friday that McLinn likely has DID but that “the issue is not whether she had it; the purpose of this proceeding is to determine whether she had the intent” to kill Sasko.

Hutchinson previously testified Thursday that she “has never doubted” that McLinn’s “Alyssa” subidentity intended to kill Sasko.

“There’s not two people sitting at that defendant’s table,” Logan said.

“There’s only one person sitting at the defendant’s table.”

Items that are donated will be used for Penny and the many litters of puppies and kittens that have started coming in to the Humane Society as spring and summer pet birthing season gets underway.

“In the spring and summer, we have our hands full with litters of kittens and puppies,” Meghji said.

Many people have expressed interest in adopting the puppies, she added.

“I have no idea what we are going to do when they are ready to be adopted,” she said. “We are looking for a fair way to do it.”

Penny arrived in Lawrence at a foster home after being rescued from a “bad situation” in southeastern Kansas but soon bolted from that home on Feb.

16. She became an instant Internet celebrity as her photo was shared hundreds of times on various social media outlets, and nearly 1,000 Facebook users “liked” the “Help Find Penny” Facebook page.

Penny’s uneasiness around people and the frigid temperatures made the dog’s rescue difficult.

She was spotted many times over four days, and six sightings were reported on Facebook.

Finally, Kansas Department of Agriculture inspector Carman Simon, who had rescued her, drove to Lawrence from her Coffey County home to aid in the search. Animal activist and former state Rep. Ginger Barr came with Simon.

After a report that Penny was in a backyard near 11th and Oregon streets, Simon went there, and Penny recognized her and came to her.

“So many people were looking for Penny and trying to find her,” Meghji said. “We are so grateful for that.”

During his testimony, Logan said that after reviewing McLinn’s medical records, Hutchinson’s reports and speaking with McLinn, he agreed the woman had mental health issues but that they were irrelevant to the legal definition of her guilt.

“My opinion with a reasonable medical certainty is that she could form intent,” Logan said. “This was not a snap decision.”

Logan said that McLinn now believes that she has multiple personalities after hours of speaking with Hutchinson and that it might make it easier for her not to assume guilt for her actions.

“She has taken another human life, a benefactor, and it allows her to think of herself as Vanessa, the victim, not the aggressor who has to take responsibility for what she did,” Logan said.

During closing statements Friday, McLinn’s attorney, Carl Cornwell, focused his arguments largely on McLinn’s reported history of abuse.

Earlier this week, jurors learned that McLinn said she’d been molested as a toddler and brutally raped at 16.

“We all know that she is broken,” Cornwell said of McLinn. “We all know that she needs to be safeguarded and we all know that she needs to be treated.”

Cornwell told jurors that because his defendant has mental problems, she should be found not guilty so she could be sent to Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility.

“You have a young lady

that suffered abuse. If you are saying that she is not guilty by mental disease or defect, she goes down to Larned State Facility Hospital,” Cornwell said.

“She doesn’t get to leave with me, she doesn’t get to embrace her family.”

However, District Judge Paula Martin instructed jurors not to consider what will happen to McLinn after they make their decision.

Cornwell picked up the knife McLinn used to kill Sasko, waving it around for jurors at times throughout his arguments, and used a cardboard printout of the definition of DID. Branson told jurors to ignore Cornwell’s “smoke and mirrors.”

“It is the law of the state that you should not take into consideration anything else,” Branson said. “(Cornwell) spent a lot of time talking about other things. Don’t get confused. The evidence suggests overwhelmingly that these were intentional acts.”

Sasko’s brother, Tom Sasko, said that “it is what it is.” Tom Sasko said that regardless of how the verdict comes out, “it’s not going to bring Hal back.”

Panel rejects bill to repeal Common Core standards

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A bill that would have repealed the state’s current academic standards for reading, math and other subjects failed to get out of a House committee on Friday, greatly diminishing the chances that Kansas lawmakers will address the issue this year.

The bill failed on what appeared to be a 5-9 vote in the House Education Committee when conservatives who oppose the standards split over how best to address the issue.

House Bill 2292 would have repealed the Common Core standards for reading and math effective July 1 and would put back in place the standards that were in effect in the 2009-2010 academic year before the new standards were adopted.

It also would have prohibited the state or any school district from joining any consortium or using any standards established by any national group if doing so would cede any of the state’s own authority over educational standards.

Several education of-

— Rep. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton ficials argued that such a bill would effectively eliminate Advanced Placement courses, which are designed by the College Board.

Rep. Amanda Grosserode, R-Lenexa, was among those who said earlier measures to re-

peal the standards have failed on the floor of the House and that they did not believe there was enough support for such a move this year.

Topeka — Kansas universities would be required to publicize information on their graduates’ average salaries, student loan debt and employment under a bill approved by the state Senate.

Supporters of the bill, which passed the chamber on a 27-11 vote Thursday, said it would help

Kansas among 10 states getting grant to test ways to help food stamp recipients get jobs Washington — New federal grants will help 10 states test programs to help food stamp recipients find jobs, from using career coaches to quicker training courses to mental health assistance.

The grants, announced Friday in Georgia by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, come as the Republican Congress is exploring ways to cut the program, which cost $74 billion last year — twice its cost in 2008.

Some in the GOP have proposed stricter work requirements as a way to do that. But the Obama administration sees better worker training as an alternative to cuts or stricter work requirements.

Vilsack said the grants will help USDA identify what works and what doesn’t in terms of getting people to work.

The food stamp pro-

gram has long been the center of political wrangling in Washington, with elective officials debating it virtually endlessly.

Republicans for the most part have called it a government give-away and have worked historically to rein it in, if not eliminate it. Many Democrats, particularly those in the party’s liberal wing, have steadfastly fought cuts to the program, calling it an essential element of the federal government’s safety net for the poor.

Washington provides the money for food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. But it is administered by the states, with regulations varying from state to state. As part of the grant program, the Agriculture Department is contracting two private research organizations to evaluate the states’ performance.

Only about a fifth of the 46 million SNAP recipi-

ents are eligible for training. The rest are elderly, disabled, children or already in the workforce.

Vilsack said 35 states applied for the $200 million in grants, which were part of a wide-ranging farm bill that became law last year.

Among the winners: In Georgia, participants would use an online tool developed by the state to create individualized work plans. In Kentucky, the state will work with local employers and teach skills for in-demand jobs, like food service.

Make an

California will test child care programs for people who need work training as part of a family-centered approach.

Other states receiving the grants are Delaware, Kansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Vermont, Virginia and Washington state.

Congress’ virtually annual fight over the cost of food stamps grew more intense as the benefit rolls started climbing during the Great Recession, which was under way when President Barack Obama took office in 2009.

BRIEFLY Feds charge 2 with illegal drug, firearms activity Two Lawrence women have been charged with illegal methamphetamine activity, federal authorities said Friday.

Petsami Phommaseng, 34, is charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a methamphetamine user and two counts of possession of a firearm to further drug trafficking, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office.

Susan Khampannha is charged with illegally allowing a residence to be used for distributing methamphetamine, the release said. The residence is in the 2500 block of Ousdahl Road in Lawrence.

The crimes are alleged to have occurred in 2014 and 2015 in Lawrence.

Penalties the women face include: l A maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000 for unlawful possession of a firearm by a meth user. l Not less than five years in prison

Rep. Ed Trimmer, DWinfield, pointed out that the standards spell out basic expectations, such as one that says by certain grades, students should be able to read and comprehend a paragraph, or that they should be able to multiply and divide whole numbers.

“This base bill says we can’t spend money, public or private, on anything that aligns with those standards,” Trimmer said. “If we do that, we can’t teach multiplication, division addition or subtraction. We can’t teach reading comprehension.”

The State Board of Education adopted the Common Core standards in 2010, and the state began testing students on those standards last year.

Shortly after 2 a.m., a neighbor called 911 to report hearing an alarm sounding and smoke visible from a neighbor’s duplex at 3902 Overland Circle.

Lawrence police were first to arrive and reported visible flames from the rear of the structure.

universities to conduct the research — which the Kansas Board of Regents estimates could cost the institutions a combined $5.5 million per year — particularly when broader research is already available from the U.S. Department of Labor and financial publications such as Forbes magazine.

In Kansas, they are officially known as the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards.

But they began drawing national scrutiny, and opposition from tea party-affiliated groups, when the Obama administration began encouraging states to adopt them by requiring adoption of those standards, or something like them, to qualify for certain kinds of federal grants.

Kansas state board members have said those federal programs had no bearing on their decision to adopt the standards in 2010.

Rep. Tony Barton, RLeavenworth, criticized the material being taught in school.

“I’ve got three books right here, basically teaching pornography to kids in school which I personally find to be an issue,” Barton said.

He pointed to a novel, “The Bluest Eye,” by Toni Morrison; another novel, “Dreaming in Cuba,” by Christine Garcia; and an elementary-level sex edu-

“We are better off working with our universities to make sure that they make accessible — or let students know — where the good data can be found,” Kelly said.

But Republican Sen. Jeff Melcher, of Leawood, said the more expensive universities could make a stronger case for their value if they can demonstrate that their graduates end up with higher salaries.

The bill will move to the House for consideration.

cation book entitled “It’s Perfectly Normal.”

But others pointed out that the Common Core standards do not mandate the curriculum schools use or the materials used in classrooms to teach the curriculum.

The standards, they say, only identify the knowledge and skills that students should have by the time they finish certain grade levels.

Friday was the deadline for most committees to complete their work and send their bills to the full House and Senate.

For the next two weeks, both chambers will spend most of their time debating and voting on bills that have come out of committee.

The first adjournment of the session is scheduled for April 3. They will then go home for about three and a half weeks while waiting for new consensus revenue estimates to be released.

Then they’ll return April 29 for the final wrap-up session to deal with any bills vetoed by the governor and to finalize tax and budget bills.

Using fabric containers benefits plant’s root health

F

abric planting containers may seem like just the latest trend in the garden center, but they truly offer gardeners a better option for container gardening than the traditional plastic, clay and other pots out there.

The fabric bags are made of a thick, felt-like material, styled similarly to plastic grow bags that have been around for decades. They are sold under a variety of brand names including Gro Pot, GeoPot and Smart Pot. Fabric planting containers allow plants to maximize their root growth. In a hard-surfaced container, plant roots grow outward until they reach the inside surface of the container.

From that point, they are forced to grow down, or sideways or both. If they grow down, they will reach another border, and typically roots end up looping around and around the pot depending on the vigor of the plant.

In containers with porous surfaces such as unglazed terra cotta and wood, plant roots may attempt to penetrate the material but still usually end up circling the inside perimeter.

In a fabric container, plant roots can penetrate into the fabric. When the growing point or tip of the root is far enough into the fabric to completely dry out, it will die back a tiny bit and encourage more roots to form along the main portion of the root. The process is called air pruning or air root prun-

Containers that allow for air pruning produce healthier, betterbranched root systems than traditional containers. Heavily-branched root systems are more efficient at taking up water and nutrients, thus yielding healthier plants.

Fabric planting containers are reusable from year to year just like hard-surfaced pots and may even withstand winter weather better if left outside.

There are a few disadvantages of using fabric planting containers. First, they are difficult to move once they are filled with soil. The best bet is to set the pot where it will remain for the season prior to filling it with potting

mix (soil). To store it for the winter, shovel the soil out until the bag can be lifted and dumped.

Old potting mix can be mixed into garden areas or added to the compost bin.

Another disadvantage of fabric planting containers is the aesthetic quality. Even for gardeners who are more interested in their tomatoes than the look of the containers, the black and tan pots are boring at best. A simple fix is to add a few draping annual flowers to whatever else is growing in the pots.

One petunia plant or a few sweet alyssum will brighten any garden. A sweet potato vine will also cover the pot but are best used only if you want to fill the pot with sweet potatoes.

Q:

In Elden Tefft’s obit, it mentions Woodlawn Lake.

I’ve never heard of that. Does it still exist or where is it?

How do you think the KU/WSU game will play out on Sunday?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

See story, 1C

Robert Walsh, attorney, Concordia “I think Wichita State is more consistent, so I think they’ll win unless KU brings their ‘A’ game.”

Kevin Herman, Berry Plastics technician, Lawrence “I think it’ll be a very good game. Ultimately, I think KU will come out on top, but it’ll be a competitive, fun game to watch.

I’m excited for it.”

Judy Conway, marketing and media for Emporia State University, Emporia “I’m going for KU.”

Nashon Mwangi, student, Kansas City “Honestly, I think it’ll be a good match-up. I think the way KU played today shows they can win.”

What would your answer be?

Go to ljworld.com/onthestreet and share it.

A:

Tefft’s son, Kim Tefft, said he only knew of the lake through word-of-mouth as the place where his dad once tested out homemade boats while growing up in East Lawrence.

Researchers at the Watkins Museum of History couldn’t find anything about Woodlawn Lake. However, they believe Woodlawn Lake may actually have been Woodland Lake, possibly associated with Woodland Park, said Brittany Keegan, collections manager at the museum. Researchers did find an article from 1920 proposing the addition of a bathing lake in Woodland Park.

Woodland Park was located just north of 12th Street and Prospect Avenue, an area now home to the city’s Brook Creek Park. While the story doesn’t mention a lake there, a 2010 JournalWorld article shares some history of Woodland Park, which was home to one of the country’s earliest roller coasters back in 1910. Though the park was once a major attraction, the article notes, it’s no wonder information is elusive.

“Even the history books have but trace mentions of the ‘Daisy Dozer’ and the once-grand Woodland Park.”

County lifts burn ban Douglas County’s burn ban has been lifted, effective immediately.

The county chose to extend the ban, originally set to last through March 25, on a rainy Wednesday, believing that dry and windy conditions would return by Friday.

According to County Administrator Craig Weinaug, Douglas County Commission Chairman Jim Flory may choose to reimpose the ban over the next several days, “depending on how conditions develop.”

HOSPITAL Births Sheldon and Emily Schmalenberger, Baldwin City, a girl, Thursday.

Sax Matthew Kay, Lawrence, a boy, Friday.

Patrick and Heather Johnson, Topeka, a boy, Friday.

ENGAGEMENTS Spurgeon-Bliven Engagement John and Karla Spurgeon, Lawrence, announce the engagement of their daughter, Brenna Spurgeon to Patrick Bliven, both of Kansas City, Missouri. Patrick is the son of Peggy and Jerry Walker, Prairie Village, Kansas and Jack and Marsha Bliven, Homosassa, Florida.

The bride-to-be is a 2004 graduate of Free State High School in Lawrence, Kansas. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and International Studies from the University of Kansas in 2008 and a Masters of Arts degree in Global Finance, Trade, and Economic Integration from the University of Denver in 2013. She is a global benefits associate consultant for Lockton Companies in Kansas

thelma

Bradley

Bradley has good boy written all over him. He is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a handsome fellow with his tricolor coat. If a solid (compact) dog is what you want and you need a buddy to keep you motivated in your exercise routine, then he would be an excellent choice.

Kids and other dogs are welcome with this young man.

He has a lot to offer.

JuJu

Juju is a sweet Domestic Short Hair with lovely red and black tortoiseshell colors. Some might call her curious, some might call her inquisitive and some might say she is just plain nosy. Regardless of how you describe her, this 3 year old cutie won’t let anything get past her. She keeps track of all the goings on at the shelter. She gets along with other cats and would love to have you come visit her in Cat-Topia.

roman

The short answer for Roman: busy. The long answer would be Terrier mix, a little over 1 year old, black brown coat, about 26 lbs. and crazy cute ears. He would do best in a home where being busy is fun and acceptable. This little dog is not a couch potato. He would do great with older kids who can keep him occupied. Another dog would be a good option too.

Balthazar

Balthazar has had his share of ups and downs while he has been here.

He had some serious “happy tail” from being too big and happy for the kennels. After a lot of work from our med staff and no luck getting it to heal, the vet decided to dock his tail. Now he can be as happy as he wants. He is a Pit Bull Terrier mix with a fawn and white coat and weighs in at about 66 lbs.

afentra

Afentra has been keeping a low profile, but wouldn’t mind if you came and introduced yourself. She is a 3 year old Domestic Short Hair with black brown tiger markings. She is a petite little girl at about 6 lbs.

Like all of the other cats here, we always recommend giving the new cat time to adapt to their new environment, especially if you have other pets. Visit with her and see if you hit it off.

riCkie

Rickie is a Smooth Fox Terrier and is about 3 years old. He is a sweet dog and is pretty easy going. He came in with Teddy and we think they may be litter mates. He has a short black and white coat and seems to do well with other dogs.

Children should be fine too. The previous owner moved out of the country and couldn’t take them along. Can he come home with you?

Butter Bean

With a name like Butter Bean you might be expecting a big rough and tumble boy cat.

Not the case. She is a beautiful Domestic Medium Hair with black red and white calico markings. She is one year old and weighs about 8 lbs. She likes to be petted and likes the attention. Small children may not be her cup of tea, as she does not like to be picked up. Older children should be fine.

City, Missouri.

The future groom is a 1999 graduate of Shawnee Mission East High School, Prairie Village, Kansas. He received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 2007. He earned his Professional Engineering License in 2012. He is an electrical engineer at Burns and McDonnell in Kansas City, Missouri.

The couple is planning an August wedding in Kansas City.

adopt-a-pet Thelma has the perfect lookout from her spot in Cat-Topia. She spends a good part of her day watching all the comings and goings in the dog area. She doesn’t seem to be fazed by any of the activity. She is a 3 year old Domestic Short Hair with a black and white coat and weighs a mere 9 lbs. She likes other cats and loves people. She is an all around “perfect” cat according to the staff.

Call, e-mail or Come Visit! help us help them!

PePe

Pepe is a 3 year old Domestic Short Hair mix with a mostly black coat and some white here and there. He is good sized guy at about 12 lbs. You certainly wouldn’t expect the little chirpy sounds he makes, coming from such a big boy. His history tells us he would be a lot happier in a home where he is the only cat, so if you have room for a handsome white whiskered kitty, come on out.

gyro

Gyro has been shy since he came in, but is warming up and getting used to the routine here at the shelter. Some dogs are just better suited to being the only dog in the home and being able to give and get all the attention is a good option for them. If you love dog kisses and don’t mind being the center of his world, then this sweet Pit Bull Terrier mix would love to meet you. Older kids preferred.

Joey & Chandler

Joey and Chandler came in together and we would love to see them go home together. They are close to being 2 years old and are almost identical. Bonded doesn’t come close to describing these two.

As you can see from the photo, they are two peas in a pod. They are Domestic Short Hair mixes and both are grey white tiger marked cats. Do you have room in your heart for these wonderful boys?

angel

She may look like a puppy, but Angel is already a grown up girl. She is an adorable Pointer mix with white and brown coloring and is 3 years old. She came in with her own list of things she is good at. Cats are okay, doesn’t chase squirrels, knows how to be good in her kennel, knows various commands and is active, but calm indoors. Kids should be okay too.

Sound good to you? Come and visit her.

Adoption Hours: Tues.-Fri. 11:30am - 6:00pm, until 7:00pm Thurs., Sat.-Mon. 11:30am - 4:00pm 1805 East 19th Street | Lawrence, Kansas 66046 785-843-6835 | www.lawrencehumane.org www.facebook.com/lawrencehumane

Vernon

Vernon is a local pup and is about 1 year old.

He has a tan and white coat and weighs in around 58 lbs. He is a Pit Bull Terrier mix and is ready to be in a home of his own. Keep in mind his size and breed if you rent. Be sure to check with your landlord. Vernon is a good candidate for a family or an active individual. He is young and needs to be active.

Ohio governor promotes new ideas Columbus, Ohio — Ideas fly from Gov. John Kasich like sparks from a flint. While explaining his prison reforms, he interrupts himself midsentence — his sentences, like some E. E. Cummings poems, are unpunctuated — to praise a Delaware church that buys prom dresses for low-income high school girls. His spirit would add spice and his policies would add substance to the Republican presidential contest.

But only if Jeb Bush fails to gain momentum commensurate with his fundraising. In 1999, then-Rep. Kasich, chairman of the Budget Committee, tried to become the first person since Ohioan James Garfield to go directly from the House to the White House. Kasich’s fivemonth campaign for the Republican presidential nomination encountered the steamroller of the Bush family’s fundraising, an experience he is reluctant to repeat against George W. Bush’s brother.

Elected to Congress at 30 in 1982, he left in 2001, and reentered politics to seek Ohio’s governorship in 2010, defeating an incumbent governor by two points. No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, and last year Kasich was re-elected by 31 points, carrying 86 of 88 counties, including Cuyahoga (Cleveland).

Events are pushing foreign policy to the center of presidential politics, which suits Kasich, 62, who spent 18 years on the House Armed Services Com-

Kasich does not do modulation, and sometimes he suggests that opposition to him annoys God.”

mittee, meshing weaponry with strategy.

He is a fact that refutes a theory — the theory that professional wrestling and American politics share a lack of honest emotion. This caffeinated son of a mailman from McKees Rocks, Pa., lacks the filter that other politicians install in their skulls to protect them from saying whatever they are thinking at the moment.

In Congress, Kasich was the first iteration of Paul Ryan, mastering budget intricacies.

He participated in the Clintonera dramas that produced two government shutdowns (1995, 1996) and a balanced budget (1998).

As governor, he has cut taxes by $3 billion. Death is no longer a taxable event in Ohio, and under his proposed budget, small businesses would be untaxed

until their income reaches $2 million. Because of his focus on economic growth, the building trades unions supported his re-election. State colleges and universities were reimbursed on a per pupil basis, and now, he says, “do not get a dime” for a student who doesn’t graduate.

Time spent with him and his colleagues is a bracing torrent of granular details about, among much else, criminal justice reform. He favors fewer mandatory minimum sentences and has instituted prison policies that prepare inmates for re-integration into communities.

But it takes money to save money, meaning, he says, “recurring societal costs,” such as the $23,000-per-year-per-inmate cost of recidivism.

So, Kasich angered Ohio’s Republican-controlled Legislature by disregarding it in order to accept Medicaid expansion.

Without the money from this, he says, he could not find funding for the three cohorts about which he constantly speaks — “the mentally ill, the drug addicted and the working poor.”

Kasich has committed another offense against the orthodoxy that is often stipulated by Republicans who have never run for any office or who represent safe districts. Like another Midwestern governor, Michigan’s Rick Snyder, Kasich would consider a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, who might energize ailing cities such as Cleveland.

His fervent Christianity stems from 1987, when both of his parents were killed by a drunk driver. Today he has twin teenage daughters and a serenity that has mellowed him.

Up to a point.

Undeterred by any unsettling echoes, he preaches compassionate conservatism. Compassion, however, is a passion, and the modulation of passions is one of the primary purposes of our political institutions. Kasich does not do modulation, and sometimes he suggests that opposition to him annoys God. It is, however, exhilarating to hear a governor who knows that “if you want to change lives you had better be working door to door.” An unmarried mother who had a child at 16 and another at 18 told him she “doesn’t think (her life) is hard.” This comes from “living in a community where everyone is just like you.” So, we “have to show them there’s a whole other world.” Jobs, he says, are the only way to change the culture of poverty.

His sometimes sandpapery personality actually might be a sign of authenticity that helps him connect with people who, he says, think “he understands my problems and he kind of gets me.” There will be, he insists, other “twists and turns” in the path to the Republican nomination, and like a football player on the bench, “I’m suited up.”

Scores dead in blasts at mosques in Yemen

Attacks on Shiites could trigger new wave of violence Kim Hjelmgaard

“The hanging of a black man in Mississippi justifiably engenders deeply raw emotions.”

USA TODAY

Suicide bombers killed more than 130 worshipers in two Shiite mosques in Yemen’s capital Friday, one of the deadliest attacks in the war-torn nation’s history.

The bombings could trigger new sectarian violence in the mostly Sunni nation under assault from Shiite rebels known as the Houthis.

Al-Masirah TV, a network owned by the Houthi rebels, said 137 were killed and 345 were injured when four suicide bombers attacked the Badr and Al Hashoosh mosques in Sanaa, the Associated Press reported. A fifth suicide attack at another mosque was foiled in the northern city of Saada, the network said.

The two mosques were attacked during Friday’s midday prayers, the busiest time of the week.

A group claiming to represent the Yemeni branch of the Islamic State — composed of Sunni extremists — claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as a “blessed operation” against the “dens of the Shiites” in an online statement, the Associated Press reported. The claim could not be independently verified.

If true, the bombing would mark the first major attack by Islamic State supporters in Yemen.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. was investigating the claims, but has seen no indications of an operational link between the militants and the attacks, according to AP. “It does appear that these kinds of claims are often made for

JACKSON, MISS . Authorities continued Friday to search for answers to questions surrounding the hanging death of a 54-yearold black man in a Mississippi town of about 1,500 people.

Otis Byrd, 54, was found hanging from a tree with sheet as the noose Thursday not far from his home in Port Gibson. Searchers had been scouring the woods.

At a news conference Friday, FBI Special Agent in Charge Donald Alway said the body was identified definitively as Byrd.

“Right now we are trying to identify family and friends who can help us with information that might help us paint a clearer picture of what led to Mr. Byrd’s death,” Alway said.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.

a perception that it benefits their propaganda efforts,” Earnest said.

The Houthis, backed by Iran’s Shiite government, took over the capital in September and forced the nation’s president to flee last month.

The rebels control at least nine of Yemen’s 21 provinces. They’ve seized parts of the U.S.-backed government, threatening a key American anti-terrorism partner in the region. The nation is home to a powerful branch of al-Qaeda, a Sunni group that is the sworn enemy of the Houthis and a rival to the Islamic State.

A witness at the Al-Hashoosh mosque said he was thrown 7 feet away by the explosion.

“The heads, legs and arms of the dead people were scattered on the floor of the mosque,” Mohammed al-Ansi told AP. Many people were injured by glass falling from the mosque’s windows, he said.

A forensic expert inspects the scene of the attack, which hit during Friday’s busy midday prayers.

An autopsy was conducted Friday, and results should be available next week, Alway said.

A friend last saw Byrd on March 2, when he dropped him off at a casino 30 miles north in Vicksburg.

The FBI, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and the Claiborne Sheriff’s Office continue to probe whether the death was a suicide or homicide.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, DMiss., said he has been in contact with constituents from Claiborne County, and he commended officials for a thorough investigation.

“While no conclusions have been reached in this matter, it is important for law enforcement to handle this investigation with the utmost care and consider every possibility. Given the history of the state, it is unavoidable that the hanging of a black man in Mississippi justifiably engenders deeply raw emotions,” Thompson said.

Members of the community turned out at the news conference, some carrying signs that said, “Black Lives Matter.”

Byrd spent more than 25 years in prison for a February 1980 murder in Claiborne County. He was paroled Nov. 2, 2006.

Last gasp of brutal winter surprises on spring’s first day But unwelcome snow to melt soon enough Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Snow paid an unwelcome visit to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Friday, making a mockery of the first day of spring.

“The calendar now says late March along with the official arrival of spring, but Old Man Winter is determined to show who’s boss for a little longer,” David Hamrick, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service,

wrote Friday in an online forecast.

Some spots in Maryland and Pennsylvania had picked up nearly half a foot of snow as of late Friday afternoon, according to the weather service.

Parts of New England, central and Upstate New York, and the I-95 corridor should see accumulations of mainly 3 inches or less by the time the storm winds down, the Weather Channel predicts. New York City should see about 3-5 inches overnight.

As of Friday morning, the storm contributed to more than 700 flight cancellations and about 400 delays, according to flight-

Friday’s snow falls on the same day as the spring equinox, which occurred at 6:45 p.m. ET. That marked the moment at which the sun’s rays shine directly on the equator, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Two other celestial spectacles also occurred Friday: A total eclipse of the sun, visible only in parts of Europe, and the so-called “Supermoon,” which is a full or new moon that occurs during the moon’s closest approach to Earth on its elliptical orbit.

As for the snow, most of it should be a distant memory by today, when temperatures will

rise into the 40s in the Northeast and in the 50s in the Mid-Atlantic.

However, another winter storm will spread light snow across far northern New England over the weekend. As much as 2-4 inches are possible in parts of northern Maine, while lighter amounts are likely in Vermont and New Hampshire.

What will be most noticeable

by Sunday in the Northeast and Great Lakes is a return to chilly temperatures. High temperatures only in the 30s and 40s Sunday are about 10 to 15 degrees below the average for this time of the year, according to AccuWeather.

FBI reviewing Schock’s expenses Paul Singer USA TODAY

The FBI has begun interviewing people close to disgraced Rep. Aaron Schock, the Illinois Republican who is resigning amid allegations of improper spending from his office and campaign accounts.

A source familiar with the probe says federal investigators are looking into Schock’s use of official and campaign resources.

The source, who was not authorized to comment publicly, said a grand jury is expected to convene in Illinois in early April.

A federal law enforcement official said Friday that investigators had been monitoring the allegaWASHINGTON

Rep. Aaron Schock says he will resign March 31 because of “constant questions” about his office and campaign spending.

tions involving Schock, outlined in a series of recent news reports.

The official, who is not authorized to discuss the matter, said authorities are in the beginning stages of a review and have not drawn any final conclusions about the case.

Schock, a once-rising Republican Party star, said Tuesday he will step down effective March 31 because of the “constant questions” stemming from news reports about his use of taxpayer and campaign funds.

The Office of Congressional Ethics had begun to look into the allegations, but House committees will lose authority to pursue the matter after he resigns. A criminal investigation, however, would continue even after Schock

leaves Congress.

USA TODAY and other news outlets have reported in recent weeks that Schock spent more than $100,000 on office renovations, used campaign funds for personal trips and was receiving mileage reimbursements for far more than his vehicle could have been driven.

The scandal began with a Washington Post story detailing Schock’s lavishly redecorated congressional office, a story that suggested the interior designer had provided her services for free. Schock ultimately reimbursed the Treasury $35,000 the designer had been paid for the remodeling and paid the designer an additional $5,000.

Palestinians: Time for U.S. to reassess Israel relations ‘Judge Netanyahu by his actions, not his words’ A.H. Erakat

Special for USA TODAY

Disheartened but not surprised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s election victory this week, Palestinian leaders are hoping his strident stance on their statehood will turn President Obama into a more active ally for their cause.

It’s “about time” the U.S. reassess its relationship with Israel, Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official and lawmaker said, adding she hopes the White House will find the “political will and courage to stand up to Israel.”

The day before Israel’s parliamentary elections, Netanyahu declared there would not be a Palestinian state on his watch. On Thursday, he changed his tone.

“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that, circumstances have to change,” the Israeli leader said on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports in his first interview since his party won Tuesday’s election.

Netanyahu demands Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recognize a Jewish state and demilitarize Hamas, which formed a unity government with the Palestinians and has called for the destruction of Israel. The United States considers Hamas a terrorist organization.

But Palestinians maintain Netanyahu has no right to place such demands.

“When do you believe a chronic liar? You must judge Netanyahu by his actions, not his words,” Ashrawi said. The prime minister has always “flop-flopped” around the issue of peace and instead implemented a policy to continue building settlements, she said.

WEST BANK

ABIR SULTAN, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that, circumstances have to change.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — which Palestinians insist is their land under international law — is one of the key disputes in efforts to reach a lasting peace. Palestinians also criticize Israel for continued home demolitions and Israel’s airstrikes and ground operation in Gaza last summer following Hamas rocket attacks.

Amid the tensions, Obama called Netanyahu on Thursday congratulating him on his election win and reaffirming “the United States’ long-standing commitment to a two-state solution that results in a secure Israel alongside a sovereign and viable Palestine,” the White House said in a statement.

Ahead of the call, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Netanyahu’s comments raise

questions about his commitment to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As a result, Earnest said, “the United States is in a position to re-evaluate our thinking about this and a wide range of other issues.”

Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu said it’s encouraging the Obama administration has finally woken up. She said she believes Netanyahu has never wanted Palestinians to have “freedom or equality and has just been taking U.S. money and spitting in the U.S.’ face.”

“The real test is whether they will do anything to stop Netanyahu,” she said. “Are they going to cut the $3 billion a year they give an Israel that continues to defy the U.S. position?”

But Fadi Elsalameen, senior fellow for Washington-based

think tank American Security Project, said no one can or should force Israel to make peace with the Palestinian Authority because it will not work. Still, there should be a change to reflect the USA’s dissatisfaction with Netanyahu, he said.

“Netanyahu does not believe he needs peace with the Palestinians. He sees peace as a political mistake he can’t afford, and that is not what a leader does to protect his country,” he said.

In his interview with MSNBC, Netanyahu downplayed criticism that Israel’s relationship with the U.S. was in trouble, saying the bond between the two is unbreakable.

“America has no greater ally than Israel, and Israel has no greater ally than the United States,” he said.

New regulations out for fracking

Energy industry files suit, denounces rules David Jackson USA TODAY

The Obama administration said Friday it is tightening rules on fracking with regulations that it says will preserve the oil and gas extraction method while protecting water supplies and the environment.

The new rules, which take effect in June, require oil and gas companies to disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing and to build large barriers to shield nearby water sources.

Environmental groups complimented the new rules on fracking, though some said the administration should simply ban the practice.

Members and supporters of the oil and gas industries denounced the regulations and said they will damage a booming energy industry.

In announcing the new rules, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said current well-drilling regulations are more than 30 years old, “and they simply have not kept pace with the technical complexities of today’s hydraulic fracturing operations.”

The new rules provide “a framework of safeguards and disclosure protocols that will allow for the continued responsible development of our federal oil and gas resources,” Jewell said.

Industry groups immediately filed suit against the new regulations, calling them an overreaction to unsubstantiated environmental concerns about fracking.

Republican members of Congress also denounced the new regs. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said they “represent yet another attack on American jobs by President Obama, and continue his attack on American-made energy.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waves to supporters as he delivers his speech in Tel Aviv early on Tuesday.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said current regulations are over 30 years old, “and they simply have not kept pace.”

The new rules offer “safeguards ... (for) continued responsible development of federal oil and gas resources.”

Sally Jewell, Interior secretary

Environmentalists called fracking a dangerous process that threatens air and water quality and may even trigger earthquakes.

Fracking involves pumping

huge volumes of water, sand and chemicals underground to split open rocks to allow oil and gas to flow. While technology has opened new sources of oil and gas across the country, critics point to evidence of groundwater contamination and an increase in earthquakes.

There are more than 100,000 oil and gas wells on federally managed lands, the Interior Department reported. Of wells currently being drilled, more than 90% use hydraulic fracturing.

Obama: Iran, free our U.S. citizens Request comes amid nuclear negotiations David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

President Obama called on Iran Friday to release U.S. citizens believed to be in Tehran’s custody.

In a statement tied to the Iranian holiday of Nowruz, Obama said that “at this time of renewal, compassion, and understanding, I reiterate my commitment to bringing our citizens home.”

Three U.S. citizens — Saeed Abedini, Amir Hekmati and Jason Rezaian — are believed to be in prison; a fourth — Robert Levinson — is missing and was last seen in Iran.

The statement comes amid high-stakes negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

The United States and allies are offering to reduce economic sanctions on Iran if its government gives up the means to make nuclear weapons.

“The spirit of family is deeply woven into all of the rich cultural traditions of the Nowruz holiday,” Obama said in his statement. “It is a time for reuniting and rejoicing with loved ones and sharing hopes for the new year.”

Hillary Clinton, here with Emily’s List President Stephanie Schriock, would likely compete with her GOP opponent in a presidential race for a small group of independent, even Republican-leaning women voters. Women already tend to vote Democratic.

Clinton already sketching her ‘first woman’ themes Likely campaign will force GOP to run against ‘history’ again

Martha T. Moore USA TODAY

NEW YORK Even before formally launching a presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton is already laying the groundwork for a potentially potent campaign theme – a chance to elect the first woman president.

For Republicans, that means they would again have to confront the appeal of a history-making candidate, just as in 2008 when then-Sen. Barack Obama was running to be the first African-American president.

Throughout March, Clinton’s public appearances have focused largely on gender equity issues, though they were almost entirely overshadowed by controversy over her use of personal e-mail while secretary of State. She spoke at an event for Emily’s List, which raises money for Democratic female candidates; she unveiled a report on women in global political leadership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; and she spoke at a United Nations conference on women.

On the eve of St. Patrick’s Day, she accepted an award from Irish America magazine “on behalf of all the women I met and admired” in Northern Ireland at the time of the 1998 peace accords.

Then she put in a subtle plug for

“I think there are a lot of people that are still almost a little bit angry that she didn’t become the first woman president after 2008.

There’s a kind of feeling out there that our time has come.”

Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University

women’s abilities as diplomats: “Where women are involved, and where the work of peace permeates down to the kitchen table, to the backyard, to the neighborhood, around cups of tea, there’s a much better chance the (peace) agreement will hold.”

Clinton will have a powerful appeal to women voters, says Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University. “I think there are a lot of people that are still almost a little bit angry that she didn’t become the first woman president after 2008,” she says. Now, “there’s a kind of feeling out there that our time has come.”

During her first run for the presidency, Clinton’s most pointed reference to the historic nature of her candidacy came only in her concession speech, when she mentioned trying to break “the highest, hardest glass ceiling.” That would be the unspoken “narrative” of a 2016 campaign, just as Obama’s status as an African American was in 2008, says Jennifer Lawless of American University’s Women and Politics Institute.

Similarly, Clinton’s position as a female nominee would mean “a better chance of getting traction on issues related to women and girls. ... The symbolic nature of

the candidacy might actually allow her to disseminate the substantive message,” Lawless said.

If she is nominated, Clinton and her GOP opponent would most likely be competing for a narrow slice of independent, even GOP-leaning women voters.

Women already tend to vote Democratic: In 2012, 55% of women voted for President Obama over Mitt Romney, compared with 45% of men. In statewide races, women don’t necessarily disproportionately support female candidates, points out Katie Packer Gage, a Republican consultant. But, for obvious reasons, there’s no data yet on whether that would hold true in a presidential contest.

“There’s an assumption that she’s going to have the whole coalition Barack Obama had plus she’s going to do better with women,” Gage says. “I think she has to cobble together her own coalition.”

Kathy Sullivan, a Democratic National Committee member in New Hampshire, suspects Republicans will argue that the nation is past worrying about “first women” anything. “The smart Republicans will know that you don’t attack somebody for being a woman,” she says. “What they will try to do is say, ‘It shouldn’t matter.’”

Iran’s Nowruz holiday “is a time for reuniting and rejoicing with loved ones and sharing hopes for the new year.”

President Obama

Obama offered descriptions of the four Americans: u“Saeed Abedini of Boise, Idaho has spent two and a half years detained in Iran on charges related to his religious beliefs. He must be returned to his wife and two young children, who needlessly continue to grow up without their father. u“Amir Hekmati of Flint, Michigan has been imprisoned in Iran on false espionage charges for over three and a half years.

His family, including his father who is gravely ill, has borne the pain of Amir’s absence for far too long. u“Jason Rezaian of Marin County, California, an Iranian government credentialed reporter for the Washington Post, has been unjustly held in Iran for nearly eight months on vague charges. u“And finally,” the president wrote, “we recently marked yet another anniversary since Robert Levinson went missing on Kish Island. His family has now endured the hardship of his disappearance for over eight years.”

IN BRIEF NEW YORK CITY TAXIS TO PROPOSE CAP ON UBER

New York City's taxi industry is gearing up to propose a cap on so-called black cars as the number of Uber cars outpaces yellow taxis for the first time.

The proposed cap, which is still being drafted, seeks to halt the growth of livery cabs, also known as black cars, until city officials can study the impact they are having on traffic, parking and pollution, said Tweeps Phillips, executive director of the Committee for Taxi Safety, an industry group.

The planned cap comes on the heels of new data showing that the number of Uber cars in NYC has outpaced yellow taxis for the first time. There are 14,088 cars, including luxury SUVs, affiliated with Uber in the city's five boroughs, compared with 13,587 yellow cabs, according to The Taxi and Limousine Commission.

Wall Street caps strong week with solid gains David Carrig USA TODAY

Stocks ended sharply higher Friday as the Nasdaq jumped back above 5000 and moved within striking distance of its record closing high of 5048.62, set in March 2000.

The advance set the stage for a solid weekly gain on Wall Street fueled by the news this week that the Federal Reserve has ruled out

interest rate hikes at next month’s meeting and said it had not “decided on the timing” of the first rate increase.

The Nasdaq composite index rose for a fifth straight day and climbed about 34 points, or 0.7%.

The tech-heavy index rose as high as 5042.14, a new 15-year intraday high and just 6 points from its record close. It ended the day at 5026.42 — a little more than 22 points away from its all-time closing high.

Profit growth for companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index in the first quarter is estimated to contract 3.1%, down from a projection of a gain of 5.3% on Jan.1, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The profit slowdown can be blamed on two culprits. The earnings hit to energy firms blindsided by the nearly 60% top-to-bottom drop for U.S.-produced crude; and the fallout from the dollar’s most powerful rally in decades, which has translated into smaller profits for U.S. multi-

All other things being equal, raising U.S. rates would raise the value of the dollar vs. other currencies. “The Fed would have been wrong if it were blind to international repercussions of policy decisions,” says John Lonski, team managing director of the economics group at Moody’s Analytics. “The world is increasingly interconnected.”

One of the things a higher dollar does is make it more expensive for the rest of the world to buy oil, which is priced in dollars.

By 2014, the economy began to look like it was improving, and it was. GDP shot up 5% in the third quarter and 2.2% in the fourth quarter. Everything seemed to be set for the Fed to start nudging interest rates once again.

But the Fed said Wednesday that an interest rate increase was out for April, and most analysts think September is more likely than June for the first hike. And

Stock’s been on a tear, so shares are no bargain Q: Is Nike’s stock a slam dunk?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Nike delivered yet another betterthan-expected quarterly profit — and shares soared higher as a result. Nike still has game, but investors can find better openings elsewhere.

The sports apparel maker convinced investors it still has the goods with its results for the quarter ended in February.

Quarterly adjusted profit jumped 17% to 89 cents a share, which surpassed expectations. Nike’s bottom line was 6% ahead of what analysts were expecting. Additionally, the company has been doing a good job shifting consumers to products that carry better profit margins.

Analysts remain bullish on the stock, rating it an outperform and setting an 18-month price target that’s 4% higher than Friday’s closing price of $101.98 a share. Earnings are also expected to jump another 19.5% in the current fiscal year.

While Nike is executing, the trouble is, so has the stock. Shares of Nike are up more than 36% over the past 12 months, which means it’s trading for 31 times its trailing diluted earnings over the past 12 months. That’s well above the market’s valuation of around 19 times earnings.

The bottom line: This stock is fully valued. Stock rating service New Constructs rates Nike “neutral,” meaning the stock price is equal to the present value of future cash flow.

decline in oil prices, the fall has been less dramatic elsewhere because of the increasing value of the dollar. High prices and a slack economy in Europe mean lower demand, which pushes oil prices down further. A higher dollar also hurts U.S. manufacturing, because it makes U.S. goods more expensive abroad.

Fortunately for the Fed, there’s no urgency in raising interest rates. Wages are still stagnant, and headline inflation — the number that includes food and energy — is deader than the cellphone reception in the Paris catacombs. Consumer prices fell 0.1% the 12 months ended January, thanks to falling gas prices.

Here’s the thing: The people at

the Fed aren’t dummies, and they’re having a hard time predicting the future course of the economy. It’s like a giant game of Whac-A-Mole: You push something down here, and something else pops up elsewhere.

The best bet for most people: Remain widely diversified. You’ll need cash in case you need to write a check. You need bonds because if the economy falters, we could be looking at Japan-style interest rates. And you need stocks because that’s where you’re most likely to get the highest returns over the long run.

And be brave. The law of unintended consequences also means that sometimes, good things happen when you least expect them.

Fan favorites stream into a 2nd act after network ax Cult comedy ‘Community’ is latest to find online home Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY STUDIO CITY, CALIF.

Community was once the scrappy underdog of network sitcoms: chugging along for five feverishly beloved, but little-watched, seasons until NBC finally pulled the plug last spring.

Resurrected by Yahoo for a sixth season, the cult comedy retains that plucky, resilient spirit in its new home on the CBS Radford lot, where its sets have been reassembled in a spacious basement studio.

“We were always in our own bubble anyway, so it feels fitting we’re in a basement,” says Jim Rash, who plays the zany Dean Pelton, on set in February.

“We’re the mole people of TV,” Gillian Jacobs (aka Britta Perry) cracks.

Community is the latest series to find that cancellation isn’t always the end. Others with small (if loyal) audiences have returned on other platforms. Netflix ushered in the trend in 2013, bringing comedy Arrested Development

back after a seven-year absence.

The streaming giant has continued to revive properties with built-in fan bases; AMC’s The Killing (for a fourth and final season) returned as a limited series last summer, and A&E’s Longmire will return, too. Just this month, it rescued Tina Fey-produced comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt when NBC got cold feet.

Cindy Holland, Netflix’s head of original content, says the revivals showed substantial, and growing, viewership on the service.

“We want to provide complete stories, and so by continuing and finishing some of these series, we’re helping bring a story to conclusion,” Holland says.

It also makes economic sense to studios, says financial analyst Michael Nathanson, because prolonging a show’s life guarantees more revenue from syndication and international channels. “As a producer, ... you want to keep it going as long as you can.”

Already in syndication, Community isn’t the first show to be rescued. Damages spent three seasons on FX before moving to DirecTV for two; and Unforgetta-

When it comes to rescuing series, decisions should be completely motivated by business considerations, says Zack Van Amburg, Sony Pictures Television’s president of programming.

But like Netflix, the studio also wants to tell complete stories for viewers, whether “10 people are watching it or 10 million people.”

Yahoo was most eager to pick up Community, as the site

launches original programming, including shows Other Space and Sin City Saints this spring.

Creator Dan Harmon credits Yahoo’s chief marketing officer Kathy Savitt for persuading him to continue the show on the Internet. A jaded Harmon “just felt the word of God in Kathy Savitt’s voice, saying, ‘This is not up to you this time,’ ” he says. “ ‘You have to be a faithful devotee, you have to carry this through.’ ” Contributing: Gary Levin

KANSAS 75, NEW MEXICO STATE 56

EARLY TO RISE Kansas gets up quickly for Ags

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S LANDEN LUCAS, CENTER, GETS TO THE RIM amid a sea of New Mexico State red in the Jayhawks’ 75-56 rout of the Aggies in their NCAA Tournament opener Friday in Omaha, Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb. — Kansas University’s basketball players formed a layup line, passing, dribbling and shooting invisible balls to the delight of early-arriving Jayhawk fans more than an hour before tipoff Friday morning in CenturyLink Center.

“Coach said, ‘Have fun, today,’ and that was a good way to start it off,” KU junior forward Jamari Traylor said after the Jayhawks’ 7556 NCAA Midwest Regional Round of 64 rout of New Mexico State.

“They (fans) had a good laugh at it. We might do it some more if we are out early enough before the (next) game,” Traylor added with a smile, referring to Sunday’s Round of 32 contest against Wichita State.

The Jayhawks (27-8) were just as successful shooting real basketballs as the invisi-balls.

KU experienced no firstgame tournament jitters in hitting an uncanny 54 percent of its shots while busting out of a horrible threepoint shooting slump. The Jayhawks went 9-of-13 from three (69.2 percent) after making 16 of 83 threes for 19.3 percent the past seven games.

“We were all loose,” said KU sophomore wing Brannen Greene, who hit two of four threes and scored eight points after making just four of his past 28 threes over nine games.

“We had to wake up at 6:45 (for 11:15 a.m. tip).

Even at breakfast we were all loose, having fun. Kelly (Oubre Jr., eight points, 2-for-3 from three) was Please see KANSAS, page 4C

When he came back, he dunked.

Yeah, he was playing angry, as is the Shockers’ mantra.

“I let out a big scream and I felt a release,” he said. “I just wanted to win, that’s all.”

Carter returned in time for Wichita State’s decisive run in an 81-76 victory over

Indiana on Friday in the NCAA Tournament, setting up a much-anticipated Sunflower State showdown against second-seeded Kansas.

“I’m thankful I got my tooth,” Carter said. “That would be a bad look, to not have a front tooth.”

As it was, there were toothy smiles all around as

No. 7 seed Wichita State won its tournament opener for the third straight year in its typical bruising style.

Fred VanVleet led the way for the Shockers (294) after a slow start, taking Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo the ball to the hoop often against an Indiana team WICHITA STATE GUARD RASHARD KELLY that, because of injury, was CELEBRATES in the final minutes of the Shockers’ 81-76 victory over Indiana on Friday in Omaha, Please see SHOCKERS, page 6C Nebraska.

Pitching carries KU to victory over Iowa

FREE STATE JUNIOR PITCHER TREVOR MUNSCH DELIVERS TO A WARRENSBURG BATTER during the first game of the Firebirds’ doubleheader sweep on Friday at FSHS.

FSHS sweeps opener

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High opened its baseball season with two victories on Friday afternoon and some boosted confidence in its pitchers.

The Firebirds swept their doubleheader against Warrensburg (Missouri), 2-0 and 9-3 at FSHS. Free State junior Trevor Munsch, who started on the mound in the first game, was nearly untouchable and set the tone. He allowed just one hit in 52⁄3 innings while walking none and striking out six.

“I’ve been working a lot this offseason,” said the left-handed Munsch, who painted the corners of the plate with his twoseam fastball. “Last season didn’t go as planned. But this year, I got off to a good start. I was pounding the zone. It went good.”

Once Munsch exited after giving up his first hit in the top of the fifth inning, Free State senior closer Casey Hearnen struck out four of the five batters he faced.

In the second game, junior Hunter Gudde struck out five in five innings, while allowing zero earned runs. Junior Parker Tietjen also tossed two scoreless innings.

“I thought we pitched well,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “Fourteen innings and no walks. I think we hit two guys, one in each game, but

that’s terrific at any level of baseball when you can do that.”

The Firebirds (2-0) only had four hits in the first game, but they made them count. In the first inning, Hearnen hit an RBI single to left in the first inning, scoring senior second baseman Cooper Karlin, who also singled to left.

In the second game, the Firebirds used a sevenrun second inning to pull away. After sophomore Jacob Pavlyak was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, Karlin drew a bases-loaded walk. A few wild pitches scored runs, Hearnen hit a two-run single, and senior catcher Jon Saathoff hit an RBI double.

“They were aggressive at the plate today,” Hill said. “We didn’t see a lot of pitches, and that was all right. We hit a lot of balls hard right at people, and credit to them for making some good defensive plays. We’re a work

in progress offensively, but I thought we took a step in the right direction today.”

In the sixth inning, senior first baseman Marcileno Cortez hit a sacrifice fly to score Karlin, and Saathoff scored senior centerfielder Joel Spain with an RBI single.

“They had been throwing first-pitch fastballs, and I just jumped on it,” said Saathoff, who went 4-for-4 in the second game with two RBIs.

BRIEFLY Kansas softball wins two more Maddie Stein tied Kansas University softball’s career RBI record, and the Jayhawks won two games in the Rock Chalk Challenge on Friday at Arrocha Ballpark.

The Jayhawks (27-2) scored 10 runs in the first inning of a 13-2 victory over Eastern Michigan, and Alicia Pille ran her record to 16-0 in a 5-2 triumph over UMKC. Stein drove in two runs against UMKC to bring her career RBI total to 140, tying her with Maggie Hull-Teitz for KU’s all-time record.

“Maddie is consistent and steady for us,” KU coach Megan Smith said.

“When she comes up, she’s going to do something and she’s been that way since the day she walked on campus. She is very confident in herself, she hits the ball well and has quality at-bats. It’s going to be exciting when she breaks that record because a great Jayhawk broke that record just a couple years ago and Maddie is another great Jayhawk. It’s going to be fun to be a part of that.”

Pille retired the first 10 batters against UMKC. Sophomore Lily Behrmann tagged a firstinning grand slam in KU’s victory over Eastern Michigan.

“Lily’s a pesky hitter.

She has potential to hit for power, she can lay down

a bunt and beat it out,” Smith said.

KU will meet Georgia State at 1 p.m. today at Arrocha Ballpark.

Peck is at 8-under 136, tied for second place with Denver’s Chris Korte.

The tournament will resume today.

Kansas tennis rallies past ISU Kansas University’s tennis team lost the doubles point and the first two sets in singles before rallying for a 4-2 Big 12 tennis victory over Iowa State on Friday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

Down 1-0 after the doubles, the Jayhawks won the match with singles victories by Maria Belen Ludueña, Smith Hinton, Madison Harrison and Rachel McNeely at Nos. 1-3 and 5.

Kansas (5-8 overall, 1-2 Big 12) will host West Virginia at noon Sunday.

KU swimmer 13th in 400 IM Greensboro, N.C. — Kansas University’s Chelsie Miller placed 13th in the 400-yard individual medley at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships on Friday.

The KU junior finished in 4:08.77, her second-fastest swim of the season.

Miller will swim in the 1,650 free at 4:30 p.m. today.

Starting pitching was Kansas University ’s No. 1 concern entering the baseball season, and after beginning the 2015 campaign with a record of 6-11, it remained the Jayhawks’ top problem.

Since suffering a lopsided loss to Central Michigan on March 10, the Kansas starting rotation has helped the Jayhawks win three of their last four, including a 4-3 victory Friday over Iowa at Hoglund Ballpark.

“I think it starts with starting pitching,” Kansas coach Ritch Price said.

“Last weekend we won a series, and we had the best three starts we’ve had on a weekend. We had another quality start tonight.”

Junior Ben Krauth won his fourth straight decision after dropping his first two starts of the season. Krauth went six innings, allowing two hits and six walks, while striking out five Hawkeyes.

“Last weekend, I thought it was the best he used his change-up and his breaking ball,” Price said of Krauth. “Both pitches were working last Friday. Today he had a really good change-up, and his fastball command was not very good, which is why he walked six guys. But he got in trouble twice and made huge pitches with his changeup to strike guys out.”

After Iowa’s Taylor Kaufman reached on an error to begin the seventh, Krauth turned the ball over to closer Stephen Villines with a 2-1 lead.

“Leaving the mound, I think I remember telling the guys, ‘We have the best closer in college baseball,’” Krauth said.

“We’ve got the most faith in him. I love him coming out of the bullpen and coming in after me and finishing out the game.”

Villines stranded Kaufman at third to end the seventh, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth unscathed and struck out the side in the ninth despite allowing the Hawkeyes to score twice to pull within one.

“He’s one of my alltime favorite guys because, first off, he’s one of the coolest guys in America,” Price said of Villines. “He’s that guy you want to go hang out with to watch a ballgame. He’s a fun kid, and he’s also really competitive.”

Kansas never trailed, scoring single runs in the first and fourth, and then

adding two more on a twoRBI double from senior Blair Beck in the seventh.

The Jayhawks’ Nos. 2-4 hitters recorded seven of KU’s 12 hits, with Connor McKay and Michael Tinsley getting two apiece and Colby Wright leading the way with three.

“Lately I’ve been swinging the bat pretty well,” said Tinsley, who rifled an RBI double to right field in the first.

“I’d been getting messed up on a few pitches, but I just knew I had to stay in there, especially after getting embarrassed on the first change-up.”

KU (9-12) will send Ben Rackoski to the mound today to square off against Iowa’s Blake Hickman.

First pitch is set for 2 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Jayhawks neutralize NMSU’s big man

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — He made just three shots in 32 minutes and took a beating every trip down the floor.

Holding New Mexico State big man Tshilidzi Nephawe to just 10 points might not have been the only key to Kansas University’s 75-56 victory in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday at CenturyLink Center, but it definitely did not hurt.

“We were doing some good things, trapping him and things like that, and I just felt like we did a good job holding him down on that block,” KU junior Jamari Traylor said. “He got a couple baskets, but he had to work for ’em.”

And it was not just the Jayhawks (27-8) whom Nephawe chose to work against. All game, when the officials called fouls on Kansas, Nephawe would lean into the ref and explain to him that KU had been fouling him all game. Although

that physical style is one Nephawe always has embraced, the 6-foot-10, 268-pound forward from South Africa admitted it got into his head during Friday’s loss.

“In the beginning, yeah, I (got) frustrated a little bit,” Nephawe said.

“They’re big. They’ve got long arms. They doubleteamed me right on the catch, and there was just nowhere to go.”

KU sophomore Landen Lucas was the one Jayhawk who mixed it up with Nephawe more

than anyone. And whenever the physical pounding and constant contact momentarily subsided, Lucas couldn’t help but throw a little trash talk Nephawe’s way.

“I just enjoyed it,” Lucas said. “It sounded like he was looking forward (to a physical game), and that’s something that I enjoy, so we went at it.

We both played hard, and I respect him for that.”

As for the extra chatter, Lucas said using words as one of his weapons just happened.

“I enjoy that, too,” said Lucas with a smile. “But as soon as the game was over, I went over and shook his hand and told him good job. But that’s fun for us. It makes it a more competitive game and gets me more mentally into the game as well.”

Nephawe didn’t mind the jawing.

“We did a little bit,” he said. “But it was friendly.

He was not bashing me or anything.”

Despite Nephawe’s struggles inside, several Aggies (23-11) said KU’s

hot three-point shooting (9-of-13) and focused mindset made the difference.

“They looked like they were just prepared, and they were ready to play us,” 7-3 center Tanveer Bhullar said. “It was just a big game for them, and they just took it the right way. They were mentally ready.”

Added Nephawe: “If we give somebody nine three-pointers, there’s no way we’re gonna win the game. They were just hot, and we were not.”

running around like his normal self, being a nut.

Everybody was loose, and we had fun with it.”

From start to finish, it just seemed to be a carefree day for the Jayhawks.

“We all had great attitudes in the early morning. That’s something very rare. I’m not a morning person,” Oubre said.

“My teammates had me in a good mood this morning.”

Junior forward Perry Ellis, who scored nine points off 4-of-10 shooting with two rebounds in 23 minutes, said the squad’s mental frame of mind — helped in large part by the fake layup frivolity — was pivotal.

“Getting everybody’s juices flowing, just getting everybody confident.

Before the game, everybody was energized. It was a good sign. We got after it and had a great game,” Ellis said.

Sophomore point guard Frank Mason III, who scored a gamehigh 17 points with nine rebounds and four assists, had some pre-game words of wisdom for his teammates.

“Frank came out and said, ‘I’m gonna lead you guys. I’m gonna set the tone.’ That’s what he did,” Greene said.

Mason, Oubre and Ellis hit early threes as KU raced to a 22-12 lead. By halftime, the free-flowing Jayhawks, who had no problems with New Mexico State’s zone defense, held a 36-23 lead thanks in part to 5-of-8 three-point shooting (53.6 overall).

KU led, 49-32, follow-

KU’s three-point percentage of 69.2 percent tied for the fifth-best mark in school history (since records started being kept in 1988-89).

It was best percentage since a 71.4 mark against Virginia in 1996.

“They (fans) started laughing and smiling, going crazy,” Greene said, asked if he could sense the KU fans in attendance were pleased with the squad finally getting hot from beyond the arc.

As far as his own shooting ... “Coach Howard (Jerrance, assistant) actually told me to let the next one fly no matter where it was, even if it was from the NBA line (after he hit his first three with 7:59 left).”

His second swished at 7:06, giving KU a 63-43 advantage.

“Coach (Bill Self) told me to shoot it if I was open,” Greene said. “I wasn’t necessarily open.

The guy was low. His hands were down. I took the shot and made it.”

Greene said pre-game helped his confidence as well.

“My shot felt good ever since warmups,” he said.

“I knew even in the first half when I missed two shots, I felt good. I felt I had my old shot back. I knew I was going to keep shooting. Coach has confidence in my shooting and my teammates as well. I’m definitely looking forward to the next couple of games and getting into a groove.”

Self joked that he removed the lids from the rims to help his players.

“Going forward, if you are not going to get easy baskets, somebody has to jump up and make a play,” Self said. “It should give us some confidence moving forward. I coach from a negative standpoint this way — we’ve got to figure a way to win when you don’t make shots. It makes it so much easier if you can step up and run average offense and come up with three points.”

The Jayhawks outrebounded New Mexico State, 36-29, and held the Aggies (23-11) to 35.7 percent shooting, 5-of-15 from three.

“The eight that played a lot of minutes ... they all did well,” Self said. “Kelly made two big shots off the bat. Wayne (Selden Jr., six points) never got in rhythm because of fouls.

Frank was great. Landen

NOTEBOOK

Ellis eager to face WSU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — Perry Ellis’ childhood home was located a stone’s throw from Wichita State University.

“Pretty much just around the corner,” Ellis, Kansas University’s junior forward from Wichita, said Friday after scoring nine points in the Jayhawks’ 75-56 NCAA Midwest Regional Round of 64 victory over New Mexico State in CenturyLink Center.

“I did go to a few of those,” he added of Wichita State basketball games.

Ellis for the first time in his three-year KU career prepares to play against his hometown school.

KU’s vic- Ellis tory over the Aggies, coupled with the Shockers’ victory over Indiana, sets up Sunday’s Round of 32 Sunflower State battle. Winner advances to the Sweet 16 in Cleveland; loser calls it a season.

“I mean, I love Wichita.

I respect the program and everything,” Ellis said. “I love where I’m from. It was great for me growing up.”

Daniel Fowler, who has worked with Ellis as head of Wichita’s Via Christi Hospital St. Francis’ Cancer Wellness Program, recently told the JournalWorld that even “fans Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo who (live in Wichita and) KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD FRANK MASON III PULLS DOWN ONE OF HIS NINE REBOUNDS to go with his 17 points in the hate KU have nothing but Jayhawks’ 75-56 victory over New Mexico State on Friday in Omaha, Nebraska. good things to say about him as a person.” throughout the season. season title in the Big 12, “Definitely when I 27 points on Indiana, He makes us all better.” a league loaded with talgo home there’s a lot of dished four assists, Said Devonté Graham ented point guards.

“Gregg (Marshall, WSU coach) and I don’t talk about scheduling.

Not talking to their staff, (but) I bet they don’t talk about it as much as everybody else talks about it,” Self added.

Several KU players work various summer camps with Shockers players.

“I worked camp with Ron Baker,” KU’s Brannen Greene said. “I know a couple guys, of course, Conner (Frankamp, transfer from KU who was spotted in Omaha with his parents by a JournalWorld reporter Friday night). We do know them, but we’ve never played them, so there’s not much of a rivalry or anything like that.”

Greene said the Jayhawks haven’t talked much about playing WSU in the NCAAs. “We actually saw it in the brackets when we were at our little Selection Sunday (party),” Greene said. “When we saw it, we said, ‘Whoa.’

It kind of caught us off guard. We are looking forward to whoever we have to play.” l

Self on Perry Ellis’ play in his 23-minute stint in the Jayhawks’ 75-56 win: “He just doesn’t have the same explosiveness, the same bounce. To me he looked very tentative, and he got off to a rough start, had a dunk he missed and layup right after that he missed, and it looked like right after that he didn’t explode on it. I would say he’s probably 70 percent today, with the potential to be 100 percent tonight, because I don’t think it (sprained right knee) is anything structural.” l

Self on Brannen Greene busting a slump by hitting two threes: “Knowing Brannen, it’s all mental. No, Brannen needed to see the ball go in the hole, and even though it may not have seemed like much, but the last shot of the Iowa State game (Big 12 final) when the game was over, I thought it was nice even to see that one go in the hole. Everybody needs to see it go in, and he hasn’t seen it go in for two or three weeks, so that was nice.” l

Self on the Big 12 losing three games on the first day of the tourney: “We got off to a rough start yesterday, but hopefully everybody will play great today and moving forward,” he said. “We want to carry the banner or whoever is standing carry the banner for the league. The way I stressed it to these guys is they need to carry it for each other far more than everybody else. The league is important, and we want the league to do great, but we really want Kansas to do well more than anything else, and I want these guys to play for each other and enjoy as much fun as they possibly can with each other.”

UAB set for UCLA rematch

KU-WSU AT A GLANCE

Louisville, Ky. (ap) — UAB junior guard Robert Brown is one of those people happy to see UCLA win in the NCAA Tournament, no matter how they advanced.

A questionable goaltending call on Bryce Alford’s three-pointer gave the Bruins a victory, and the 14th-seeded Blazers a chance to measure how much they’ve grown this season.

The teams play today in a rematch of a UCLA’s 88-76 win in the Bahamas in November with the stakes much higher than that game for seventhplace in the Battle 4 Atlantis. This time, the winner heads to Houston for the South Regional semifinal.

“We do have a little

payback for them, and we want to play them,” Brown said Friday.

Well, the Bruins are looking forward to what will be o n l y the fifth N C A A game between 11 and 14 seeds — 11 seeds are 4-0 Haase in those games.

They took notice of UAB’s 60-59 upset of No. 3 seed Iowa State.

“We know they’re a great team,” UCLA senior Norman Powell said. “We know we’re a great team.

So it’s going to be fun to play them again.”

The growing pains

have been similar for UCLA and UAB. UCLA was struggling at 8-7 in early January with Powell the only senior starting.

The Bruins’ spot in this tournament was doubted by many, and adding a goaltending call dissected across the Internet has only focused more attention on UCLA with the Bruins (21-13) now a game away from a second straight Sweet 16 berth.

The Blazers came into this season with the third-youngest team in Division I with a combined seven years of experience. Until the tournament’s first big upset, UAB was best known for shutting down its football program in December.

In the Bahamas, coach Jerod Haase, a former Kansas University standout, had freshmen and sophomores facing UCLA in their third game in as many days against ranked teams.

Being without 6-foot9 freshman William Lee as he recovered from an injury didn’t help. It was part of a 4-9 start for the Blazers that forced Haase to order some players not to shoot and do what the coaches told them going into Conference USA play.

Now the Blazers (2015) are very confident in themselves, wanting their program’s fourth Sweet 16 berth and first since 2004.

“It’s night and day,” Haase said.

Shockers

and Troy Williams and Collin Hartman had 11 apiece.

“We’re not happy with the outcome today. Certainly we could have played better,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said.

“But I have zero disappointment in the way these guys battled, competed and persevered throughout the season.”

The Shockers trailed by eight points in the first half and played from behind most of the game before going on a 15-3 run in the middle of the second half for their biggest lead.

Freshman Zach Brown, who had a career-high 11 points, did much of the work, scoring off an inbounds play, dunking and putting back Tekele Cotton’s miss to make it 6557.

The Shockers answered each time Indiana looked ready to come back. After Williams

made a smooth move through the lane to cut it to 76-74, Carter laced a pass through the lane to Cotton, who went up and under to restore the fourpoint lead.

Ferrell made a couple free throws to get Indiana within two, but Baker hit a pair on the other end with 19 seconds left.

Bodies were on the floor often, and the fouls were hard. Just ask Ferrell, who landed on his backside after getting rocked by Cotton and got up with a grimace. And then there was Carter and that tooth-jarring elbow he took.

“We pride ourselves on toughness, the whole ‘play angry’ thing,” Carter said. “We all have a will to win.”

longest active streak in the country. ... The Hoosiers won the only previous meeting, 75-54 in December 1989.

Wichita State: Coach Greg Marshall has won five of six against Big Ten opponents in his eight years at WSU, with three of those wins coming in the postseason.

short on rim protectors.

VanVleet matched his career high with 27 points and Ron Baker, who struggled from the field, made seven of eight free throws in the last two minutes.

And now, finally, the Shockers can talk about their first game against the Jayhawks since 1993.

“It’s a big thing for the state of Kansas,” said Baker, who hails from Scott City. “A lot of houses are going to be divided. Being a player from Kansas, I’m really fortunate to be in this game. These types of games don’t happen a whole lot.”

Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell scored 24 points for Indiana (20-14). James Blackmon Jr. added 14 points,

KU 65, Fairmount College 15, Dec. 18, 1908, Wichita: Phog Allen’s Jayhawks rolled to the road victory. The win upped KU’s record to 7-0 in a 25-3 season. Fairmount College was the predecessor to Wichita University and ultimately Wichita State.

KU 54, Wichita State 39, Feb. 3, 1941, Wichita: Allen’s Jayhawks, who went 12-6, won the road game to improve to 7-3.

KU’s Ralph Miller, who played in the game, went on to coach 13 seasons at Wichita State.

KU 56, Wichita State 37, Feb. 2, 1942, Wichita: KU improved to 9-1 en route to a 17-5 record in Miller’s senior season at KU. The Jayhawks went 2-1 in the NCAA Tournament that year.

KU 56, Wichita State 55, Dec. 7, 1955, Wichita: KU prevailed by a single point in Game Two of a 14-9 season. It was the dedication night for WSU’s Roundhouse, which opened a few months after KU’s Allen Fieldhouse. The game pitted KU coach Allen against his former player, Miller, in Allen’s final season at KU. Wichita State 66, KU 65, March 20, 1981, New Orleans: Mike Jones hit a 25-footer for the game winner before 34,060 fans in the Louisiana Superdome. Some Shocker fans still wear T-shirts commemorating the victory in the Midwest Regional semifinals. The Jayhawks led, 65-62, with :56 left when Darnell Valentine missed the front end of a one and one. Jones followed at :46 with a 25-footer (there was no three-point line then) that cut the deficit to one. Valentine missed a breakaway layup, WSU holding for the final shot. Unable to get the ball inside, the Shockers settled for another 25-footer from Jones, which swished with :04 left. KU coach Ted Owens then called an innovative play, trying to draw a foul on a final inbounds pass.

Valentine set a pick on the baseline as Booty Neal ran behind the line preparing to inbound. WSU’s Jay Jackson ran into Valentine, but no foul was called. Neal called time out, then on the ensuing inbounds threw the ball out of bounds.

KU 79, Wichita State 69, Feb. 5, 1984, Lawrence: KU won the first game of a four-year series set up by ADs Monte Johnson of KU and Lew Perkins of WSU. One game would be held in Lawrence, one in Wichita, one in KC and one in a four-team tourney in KC. Larry Brown’s Jayhawks won the opener of the series in Allen in his first season as KU coach. That KU team went 22-10 and placed second in the Big Eight.

KU 90, Wichita State 83, Jan. 5, 1985, Kansas City: Brown’s second KU team, which went 26-8, and also placed second in the Big Eight with a freshman named Danny Manning, was led

by Ron Kellogg, who cashed 30 points. WSU’s Xavier McDaniel had 29.

KU 81, Wichita State 56, Dec. 28, 1985, Kansas City: KU beat the Shockers in the final game of a tourney in KC in what became a Final Four season.

Wichita State 54, KU 49, Jan. 6, 1987, Wichita: KU did lose to WSU in Wichita during Manning’s junior season. The Shocker coach to pull off the victory in a game played at a snail’s pace?

Eddie Fogler.

KU 86, Wichita State 66, Jan. 25, 1989, Lawrence: Roy Williams’ first KU team pounded WSU in the first game of a new home-and-home series with the Shockers. Right after that win, KU dropped eight league games in a row in a 19-12 season.

KU 93, Wichita State 66, Jan. 9, 1990, Wichita: That 1989-90 KU team, which went 30-5, blistered the Shockers. Roy Williams and his players were not happy about taunts from the crowd, which Williams considered a bit too mean-spirited. “I think the people down here made a bigger deal out of this game than they should have,” said Jeff Gueldner, who had 17 points.

KU 84, Wichita State 50, Jan. 23, 1991, Lawrence: KU actually led by 25 in the first half in this one as Williams’ Final Four team, bolstered by the likes of Terry Brown, Mark Randall, Alonzo Jamison, etc., won big.

KU 81, Wichita State 51, Jan. 8, 1992, Wichita: This actually was the third-worst loss in WSU’s Levitt Arena. Adonis Jordan had a game-high 20 points and Richard Scott had 17.

KU 103, Wichita State 54, Jan. 6, 1993, Lawrence: KU’s Final Four team had no problem with WSU, the last game in series history quite the romp.

West Virginia, Oklahoma advance ————

Oklahoma State becomes fourth Big 12 team to be eliminated The Associted Press

West Regional

Midwest Regional No. 5 West Virginia 68, No. 12 Buffalo 62 Columbus, Ohio — Tarik Phillip hit a threepointer with 28 seconds left while the shot clock was winding down, adding the clinching points as West Virginia held off Buffalo on Friday.

Devin Williams, who led the Mountaineers (24-9) with 17 points and nine rebounds, hit two free throws with 2:10 left to give his team the lead for good.

Mid-American Conference Tournament champion Buffalo (23-10) did not score over the final 2:42 against the physical Mountaineers.

Juwan Staten had 15 points and seven assists for West Virginia, with Daxter Miles Jr. adding 10 points.

Xavier Ford had 11 of his 16 points in the second half for the Bulls, with Shannon Evans adding 15 points and MAC player of the year Justin Moss, coming back from an injury, had 13 points and seven rebounds.

It was the NCAA Tournament debut for Buffalo, coached by former Duke standout Bobby Hurley.

He wore the championship ring he got for the Blue Devils’ consecutive titles in 1991-92.

Both teams were well represented in the building because of the relatively close proximity.

The crowd was loud and boisterous throughout in a game in which defense was the centerpiece.

Down 10 points, the Bulls roared out to start the second half by scoring seven quick points on a three by Evans to go with baskets by Moss and Ford. But just as quickly, the Mountaineers answered with five points

by Williams on a threepoint play and a fastbreak basket.

The lead never got smaller than five points nor greater than 11. West Virginia went four minutes without scoring, but the Bulls weren’t able to go on a huge run because of the Mountaineers’ hand-to-hand combatstyle defense.

But Buffalo could play some defense, too.

The Bulls pulled within a point on a three-point play by Ford, then moments later tied it at 62 on his three-pointer from the left wing.

Williams hit his two free throws for the lead.

Buffalo failed to tie it with 1:39 remaining when Moss’s layup went in and out. WVU then missed a three but was able to call time out during a wild scrum under the hoop.

With the shot clock down to the last tick or two, Staten drove and flipped a pass to Phillip in front of coach Bob Huggins and the West Virginia bench. As the shot clock buzzed, the ball nestled in the net.

True to form, WVU forced 10 turnovers that it transformed into 12 points.

Le’Bryan Nash had 18 points before fouling out in his final game for Oklahoma State (18-14).

Anthony Hickey added 17 points, and Phil Forte and Tavarius Shine finished with 12 each.

The Cowboys ended their season losing seven of their last eight games.

The Sooners (23-10) led wire to wire.

Peter Hooley had 15 points, Evan Singletary 13, Sam Rowley 12 and Ray Sanders 11 for No. 14-seeded Albany (24-8), regular season and tournament champs of the America East Conference.

No. 11 Dayton 66, No. 6 Providence 53 Columbus, Ohio — Dyshawn Pierre scored 20 points, and Dayton rode a loud home-crowd advantage.

The 11th-seeded Flyers (27-8) will face Oklahoma on Sunday night, with a chance to reach the round of 16 for the second straight season.

Sixth-seeded Providence (22-12) could not overcome early foul trouble on Big East player of the year Kris Dunn or a Dayton team buoyed by a legion of fans that made the 80-mile trip to Columbus. Dunn finished with 11 points before fouling out. LaDontae Henton had 18.

No. 5 Northern Iowa 71, No. 12 Wyoming 54 Seattle — Paul Jesperson led five Northern Iowa players in double figures with 16 points, Seth Tuttle added 14, and the Panthers held off the comeback of Wyoming.

Larry Nance Jr. led Wyoming (25-10) with 16 points, but was mostly invisible in the first half.

Nance had one point and No. 7 Michigan St. 70, one shot in the first half No. 10 Georgia 63 before coming alive in Charlotte, N.C. — the second half to try to Denzel Valentine scored lead Wyoming’s come16 points and went 6-for- back bid.

No. 4 Louisville 57, No. 13 UC Irvine 55 Seattle — Freshman Quentin Snider hit the winning free throws, and Terry Rozier made the saving steal to help Louisville top UC Irvine.

With the game tied, Snider snagged a rebound in the corner off a long miss by Luke Nelson and drew a foul when Will Davis II crashed into him.

Snider made the free throws with 8.9 seconds left, and the Anteaters (21-13) never got a final shot, thanks to Rozier’s pick of Alex Young as he was moving up the court.

No. 1 Duke 85, No. 16 Robert Morris 56 Charlotte, N.C. — Quinn Cook scored 22 points to help Duke get off to a torrid start and beat Robert Morris.

Freshman Jahlil Okafor added 21 as the Blue Devils (30-4) wasted little time getting their offense revving, hitting their first seven shots and 12 of 15 to quickly build a big lead.

That’s not to say everything went smoothly for Duke. Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski furiously burned a timeout after Okafor blew a reverse dunk, while Robert Morris — the No. 16 seed that had to win a First Four game to get here — showed plenty of fight.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

Even though I’ve been in real estate just shy of five years, I’ve cultivated some outstanding stories. I have live shows at 6:00, 8:00, and 10:00. Who am I kidding? I’m not up until 10:00. I have live shows at 6:00 and 8:00. No, really, you’ll have to work with me to hear some of these stories.

Or read my memoir after I retire.

Toland Hippe Realtor

(785) 393-8342 TolandHippe@StephensRE.com

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold?

The homes that I have helped clients buy and sell have all been what I would consider fairly standard homes. I suppose that if I had to pick one property that stands out to me as being unique, I would have to choose a property that I have both listed and sold in East Lawrence. It isn’t unique because it is contemporary, or built from license plates, or designed by a famous architect. This home is unique because it is over 2500 square feet on a slab. It has five bedrooms, three of which have their own baths. It is not a floor plan that you encounter very often – if at all.

Where did you grow up I grew up right here in beautiful Lawrence, Kansas, and the surrounding area. I was born in Lawrence and lived here in town until I was four years old. My parents purchased an old farmhouse on approximately 360 acres five minutes south of town, and we moved there when I was 5 years old. In my opinion, it is the most stunning piece of property in Douglas County. I attended Vinland Elementary and Baldwin for Junior High and High School. I graduated from KU with a degree in Communications.

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

We purchased a beautiful home on about 5 acres just NW of Lawrence right before Thanksgiving. The house is in a perfect location just minutes from town. There was an added bonus of my kids being able to attend the same schools that they attended before the move. Having grown up in the country, it is fantastic to have a little bit of land.

My family and I are looking forward to getting a dog, starting a large garden, and building a tree house for the kids.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

My husband and I have three wonderful children, ages 12, 10, and 8. When I am not working, my life is usually consumed with all of my children’s various activities. OK, who am I kidding? My life is consumed with my children’s activities whether I’m working or not! I truly appreciate time with family and friends. I love great conversation and I love to laugh! I crack myself up all the time. I enjoy reading; the book club I started almost 13 years ago is still going strong.

Although I am a terrible golfer, I really enjoy golfing. Other activities that I like are playing board games and cards, fishing, and just being outside when the weather is nice.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

This October will be my fifth anniversary as a Realtor®.

What did you do before that?

Prior to real estate I was the Director of National Sales with a company that provided design, development, and delivery of custom training solutions to businesses across the country.

What is your specialty?

My specialty is residential real estate. I feel that I am very adept at working with first time home buyers. There is tremendous satisfaction in working with someone that has never purchased a home before. Buying a home for the first time can seem like a very daunting task. I feel that I am quite skilled at educating first time buyers and breaking down the steps that go into purchasing a home; I help make the process manageable, understandable, and fun.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?

Buying and/or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions/purchases a person will make in their lifetime.

In my experience, even the most rational and sane individuals seem to lose their minds a little bit during the buying and selling process. A real estate transaction is complex. There are a lot of emotions involved. There are a lot of different personalities involved – even amongst the same families - not just on opposing sides of a deal.

Everyone has different needs, wants, desires, and price points. Believe it or not, as challenging as it may seem to have to manage all of this, it’s extremely gratifying.

Providing service, wearing multiple hats, educating people about the process of buying and selling, finding homes that are the right fit, negotiating, problem solving… It never gets boring, it’s always changing, and to see those smiles from all parties involved on closing day will ensure that I will be a Realtor® for a long time to come.

What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition?

The super thing about Lawrence real estate is that consumers have many excellent and skilled agents to choose from. I have a high respect for many of the agents with whom I have worked. Buyers and sellers just need to know that when they choose to work with me, they are choosing someone who is intelligent, ethical, honest, driven, and fun. They will receive the highest level of service possible and they will want to use me as their Realtor® again.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

For goodness sake, use a Realtor®! Also, if you are buying and not paying cash, please consult a lender as early in the process as possible.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices?

When I started in real estate in 2010 the market was in the trash can. My timing was impeccable as usual. I had a number of people question my sanity. Really though, at the end of the day, I’m glad that was the case. I wasn’t selling real estate when things were hopping. I’ve had to work hard from the start and that is all I know – working hard to make it happen for my clients. Every year the market continues to improve and I foresee the market continuing to improve – until it doesn’t. Like I said, I crack myself up.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent?

Someone should choose me as their Realtor® if they want to work with someone who is open, honest, has great integrity, is intelligent, ethical, knows the market, is not afraid to push when necessary, and will make the process manageable and fun, always, always keeping the client’s best interests at heart. Because after all, home is where the heart is!

Richards react to common nickname troubles Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Richard,” who was named for a hero of World War II, but whose nickname (“Dick”) elicits snickers. My name is Richard, and my friends call me Dick. I’m 79 and 6-foot-4. I was football captain in high school, played at university, and spent four years as a military police paratrooper, so I have a few advantages working for me.

But I have never understood why anyone would worry about hurting the feelings of some nitwit who failed to show the respect that any person deserves. A few times over the years I’ve suggested to the speaker that he stuff that comment where it belongs and said I’d be glad to assist if he needed any help, although none of

them seemed to need help. They didn’t bother me again, nor did they attempt to socialize with me at all, but it was their loss, not mine. Richard sounds like he’s capable of the same approach but chooses not to use it.

Perhaps he should. — Another Richard Dear Richard: We were surprised at the number of men named Richard who wrote to us about their names and nicknames. Read

‘Aloha Vet’ is anything but routine Most of us associate a trip to the vet’s office with the mundane. There’s all that fluorescent lighting and the surrender of stool samples to deal with. I often leave suffering from severe sticker shock and a passing, anxious thought that perhaps I’m paying more attention to my pet’s health than my own.

There’s nothing so humdrum about “Aloha Vet” (8 p.m., Nat Geo Wild) — and no extreme measure he won’t take! The show’s “star,” Dr. Scott Sims, goes all out for pets tiny and gigantic, wild and domestic. House calls? You bet. In fact he makes them in his own private plane that ferries him to mountaintops, beaches and the feet of gorgeous Hawaiian waterfalls. His clients include a sea turtle entangled in plastic, a drowning horse and even a blind pig whose eyesight is restored after years of oinking in the dark.

OK, this is basically “All Creatures Great and Small — Hawaiian Style.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

O Tonight offers a veritable Whitman’s Sampler of fear mongering. A two-hour installment of “In an Instant” (8 p.m., ABC) profiles a woman left for dead by her abusive husband.

Lifetime offers the fictional “Stalked by My Neighbor” (7 p.m.), starring Kelcie Stranahan. “Deadly Sins” (8 p.m., ID) profiles an NFL star turned murderer and “Scorned: Love Kills” (9 p.m., ID) recalls a randy minister whose philandering ended in murder.

Tonight’s other highlights

O The 2015 NCAA Basket-

ball Tournament (6:30 p.m., CBS; 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., TBS) continues.

O Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker star in the loud 2011 action film “Fast Five” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Nobody has relatives more eccentric than those endowed with witchy powers. Cassie’s cousin Abigail (Sarah Power) descends on tonight’s episode of “Good Witch” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

O Eleanor declares war on “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz).

O Meryl Streep, James McAvoy, Mark Ruffalo and Hozier appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9:15 p.m., BBC America).

Boston: My idea of the best response would be: “I was named for a war hero. How about you?”

New York: My father was also a WWII veteran whose nickname was Dick. I suggest “Richard’s” response simply be: “Dick may be my name, but at least I don’t act like one.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, March 21: This year you often weaken your assets by pushing yourself too hard. You might want to spend some time realizing a new talent.

If you are single, you might have met someone recently whom you find to be quite intriguing. If you are attached, the two of you express an unusual enjoyment of just being together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You have a choice as to how you display your energy.

You’ll be a whirlwind of activity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ You might want some time for yourself. Reflect on the possibilities at hand. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You like to be with friends and having fun, so make it happen. Allow Lady Luck to land on your shoulder. Tonight: Follow the fun.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You could be exhausted from someone else’s demands. Be willing to ask for what you need, too. Tonight: Be noticed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Reach out to a new friend or someone else you can be real with. Many people expect a lot from you. Tonight: Take off for a concert or movie.

not be referred to as “little Dick.” I’m now 66 and am still called “Buddy” by my siblings, but I’m known to my friends as Richard.

Salem, Ore.: My name is Richard, too.

I pursued a career in theater early on and thought that referring to myself as “Dick” might be less cumbersome on my resume. I was fortunate enough to land a major role in a Broadway musical about to embark on a national tour. But when we arrived at the first theater, I discovered that the producer’s office had Freudishly changed my first name to “Peter.” After that, I reverted to Richard.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Pace yourself. Whatever your plans are, there seems to be an element of the unexpected involved. Tonight: A must appearance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You could be taken aback by a child or loved one’s unexpected warm reception. Tonight: And the party goes on.
