MARTIN MILLER, shown Friday on the fifth day of his retrial for first-degree murder, was found guilty again Wednesday in the 2004 death of his wife, Mary Miller. Miller was awarded a new trial in 2014 because of an erroneous jury instruction during his 2005 trial. On Wednesday, after the verdict, his bond was revoked and he was returned to custody.

Jurors on Wednesday found a Lawrence man guilty of first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his wife, nearly a decade after he was convicted of the crime in a previous trial.

Martin K. Miller, 56, was charged with firstdegree murder in the July 28, 2004, death of Mary Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home.

Miller was convicted of the charge during his first trial in 2005, but the Kansas Supreme Court ruled in February 2014 that he

When the verdict was announced, several spectators sitting with Miller’s children on the prosecution’s side of the courtroom cried with apparent relief. Others just stared ahead.

Wednesday, prosecutor Mark Simpson argued that Miller strangled his wife in her sleep sometime before 6 a.m. July 28, 2004. Simpson said that evidence of the defendant’s unhappiness in his marriage and his desire to be with his mistress gave Miller the motive to kill Mary Miller.

“He just doesn’t want to be with Mary Miller anymore,” Simpson said.

Ney said that jurors could not consider motive to decide whether

Defendant accused others in quadruple homicide

After Kyle Flack was arrested in the 2013 brutal killings of three adults and a toddler near Ottawa, he blamed “Omar and Chewy,” two men he said he met in prison, prosecutors told a Franklin County judge during a hearing Wednesday.

But authorities determined that “Omar and Chewy” did not exist after investigators checked prison records and conducted background checks, said Victor Braden, a Kansas deputy attorney general who is working with the Franklin County county attorney to prosecute the Flack case.

A motion to allow Flack’s statement to be presented as evidence in his upcoming September trial was at the heart of Wednesday’s hearing.

In addition, the Lawrence Journal-World learned most of the court records in the quadruple-murder case have been ordered sealed even though two years ago a judge said most of the records would be open.

Spring elections of city commissioners and school board members — like the one held Tuesday — soon may fall out of fashion as state legislators prepare to vote on a bill that would move the races to November.

“I would be really surprised if we had another spring election,” Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said.

Shew expects legislators to vote on a bill that would move city and school elections to November of even- Shew numbered years, which means the races would share ballot space with presidential and gubernatorial races. If that vote fails, moving the races to November of odd-numbered years is likely, Shew said.

“I think they will do something,” Shew said of the Legislature, which reconvenes April 29 after a three-week break. “What they do is going to depend on the politics of it all.”

Sealed records After the hearing, John Steelman, the court administrator for the Fourth Judicial District, said he could not release the written motion that contained Flack’s confession because Judge Eric W. Godderz had ordered it sealed.

Generally, documents that are discussed in a court hearing are available to the public.

Through Steelman, Godderz said he did not have to explain his decision to seal records.

Godderz’s written orders that explain why the records are closed also are sealed, Steelman said.

Flack’s court files had been closed as they were being filed with the court over the last two years, Steven Hunting, Franklin County attorney, told a Journal-World reporter on Wednesday.

Hunting pointed out that no one had objected to the records being sealed, including two judges who have presided over the case and Flack’s criminal defense attorneys.

“We are going to do what we can with the written records to control pretrial publicity,” he said. “When it comes time to select a jury, we don’t want the pool to be tainted.”

The discovery that about 60 court records were sealed comes as a surprise because legal and media experts had challenged the initial attempt by prosecutors to seal the records and close hearings in 2013.

“This is very disheartening,” said Bernard J. Rhodes, who heads up the media law group for Lathrop & Gage in Kansas City.

Rhodes was one of the attorneys who fought a motion to close the Flack records — and he said he thought they had won that legal battle.

In addition, he said the Kansas Supreme Court recently ruled in a criminal case that had received far more publicity than the Flack case. That court found that the jury had not been prejudiced because of the publicity.

“I just don’t agree that the desire to find an impartial jury can justify sealing all these records, which I thought the judge agreed with me the last time we went down and argued this,” he said.

During the original legal fight, Franklin County District Court Judge Thomas H. Sachse, who now is retired, had been petitioned by prosecutors to seal all future court records, shielding them from public view.

Sachse agreed with

said the legislation is unclear on when an election would be held to fill the terms that begin in January 2018. If there is no election in an odd-numbered year, does that mean there would be another City Commission election in November 2016, but winners would wait until January 2018 to take office?

“I don’t know,” Shew said. “Several county clerks have looked at it, and the only thing we have determined is that it needs to be cleaned up.

I don’t think it works the way it is written.”

Erik Sartorius, executive director of the League of Kansas Municipalities, said the extension of political terms could be problematic.

He said the Kansas Constitution appears to pro-

hibit lawmakers from extending political terms.

“That is one thing we really want to have shored up,” Sartorius said.

Whether elections are moved to even- or odd-numbered years is likely to have a major impact in Lawrence. In even numbered years, the voting pattern could change significantly because historically Kansas University students have come out to vote in presidential elections but have not come out in strong numbers to vote in City Commission elections.

Increasing turnout has been a key argument in favor of moving the elections. Lawrence turnout on Tuesday was a bit more than 16 percent.

Other communities also struggle with low turn-

out for city and school races.

Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx said he, too, wants to see greater turnout, but he’s concerned about sharing ballot space with presidential, senate and gubernatorial races.

“The issues that we talk about in these local elections are important,” Amyx said. “I’m afraid they’ll get lost in all the partisan politics.”

As the bill is currently drafted, city and school board races would continue to be non-partisan, meaning candidates wouldn’t register as Republicans, Democrats or representatives of another political party.

There are questions, though, about whether moving the races to November is a prelude to making them partisan in the future. An earlier

version of the legislation this year called for partisan local races.

“As you talk to people, there are a number of folks who wonder if that is where everything is headed,” Sartorius said.

Shew said any change is likely to create considerable challenges for his office. He said moving the races to the even numbered years would mean ballots would grow to two pages in Douglas County.

Shew said he wants legislators to consider using mail ballots. The county used a mail ballot for a January local option budget election for the Lawrence school district. That election, which received far less media attention and debate than the City Commission races, had voter turnout of 34 percent.

Mary Miller’s death was a homicide.

“We don’t convict people of murder based on the fact that he may not have been a good husband,” Ney said.

Still, Simpson said, “you can consider motive to explain the defendant’s actions.”

Simpson pointed to Miller’s actions after his wife’s death as suspicious. Testimony from investigators, Miller’s children and Miller’s former mistress last week revealed Miller denied being in the room with Mary Miller on the morning of her death.

Miller’s children, who were 11 and 14 years old at the time of their mother’s death, testified last week that they heard their father’s voice in their parents’ bedroom that night while their mother appeared to be under duress.

“If the defendant didn’t kill his wife, why on earth did he tell his daughter he was not in the room?” Simpson said. “Could it be because he knew exactly what he did in that room?”

Ney argued that jurors could not find Miller guilty because Mary Miller did not die by homicide. Expert doctors testified Tuesday that Mary Miller’s autopsy revealed no exterior signs of injury or “defensive wounds” to suggest she was strangled or struggled with an attacker.

“Unless you find that this was a homicide, none of the rest of this matters,” Ney said.

On Monday, Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell testified that he conducted Mary Miller’s

autopsy 11 years ago and concluded the death was a homicide by asphyxiation. Mitchell testified that bruising on the inside of Mary Miller’s neck and scalp, edema foam seeping from her nostril and petechiae inside her eyelids were “consistent with strangulation.”

Ney highlighted for jurors Friday that it took Mitchell “more than a month” to rule the death a homicide and that was only after Mitchell consulted investigators.

Ney asked Mitchell if he, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, could look at just the medical evidence and say that it was a death by strangulation, and Mitchell said he could not.

“He based his scientific opinion on police input,” Ney said.

“Manner of death is one thing, but the medical opinion? You don’t base that on what the police said.”

After Miller was found guilty, District Judge Paula Martin revoked his $250,000 bond, remanding him back into custody. He had been out on bond since April 9, 2014.

After a court security deputy placed handcuffs around Miller’s wrists, he leaned over to embrace and kiss his wife.

He was then taken to a holding cell to be transported to the Douglas County Jail. He is scheduled for sentencing on May 20. His original sentence was 25 years to life.

Cuthberson Miller said she continues to have faith in her husband’s innocence.

“We’ve been down this road before,” Cuthberson Miller said.

“God’s got it.”

Flack

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Flack, 29, is facing the death penalty on charges of first-degree murder, rape and criminal possession of a firearm.

He is accused of killing Andrew Adam Stout, 30, Steven Eugene White, 31, and Kaylie Kathleen Bailey, 21. Their bodies were found May 6 and May 7, 2013, at a farmhouse about five miles west of Ottawa.

Flack also is accused in the death of Bailey’s 18-month-old daughter, Lana-Leigh, whose body was found several days later in rural Osage County.

Jury selection in Flack’s trial is expected to begin Sept. 14.

Motions hearing On Wednesday, Flack was in court for a hearing on several motions including one that would allow the jury to hear his confession or a portion of it that he gave to arresting officers, one that would allow him to wear civilian clothes during court proceedings and another that dealt with DNA evidence.

In Flack’s confession, he said two men — “Omar and Chewy” — he had met in prison were responsible for the murders, Braden said.

Braden said it was important to show the jury that investigators proved that “Omar and Chewy” never existed.

“Omar and Chewy, there is no Omar and Chewy,” Braden said. “The state has an obligation to present that. The state is trying to present that he is the true killer of these individuals.”

But one of the defense attorneys, Ron Evans, argued that the jury could be prejudiced if they learned that Flack had been in prison prior to the 2013 murders.

“Why is it relevant to bring up the fact that the defendant was in prison?”

Evans asked.

Wichita seeks ruling on legality of marijuana initiative

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — A day after Wichita voters approved a ballot measure that would reduce the penalties for small amounts of marijuana, the city asked a court to rule on the legality of the proposed changes, which had already drawn a warning from the state attorney general.

The city filed its petition for a “declaratory judgment” on Wednesday in Sedgwick County District Court in the wake of an election in which 54 percent of voters backed the referendum imposing no more than a $50 fine for first-time possession of a small amount of pot.

State law deems it a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a

$2,500 fine.

Janice Bradley, a representative of the Marijuana Reform InitiativeICT who helped get the issue on the ballot, said Tuesday’s vote reflects people’s changing views on marijuana, and elected officials need to take notice.

“We need to come into sync with that in our justice system,” said Bradley, who is named as the defendant in the city’s petition. “We need to get synchronized with what people feel they want versus what the laws are doing — the excessive penalties for small possession that can affect people for a lifetime.”

Attorney General Derek Schmidt issued an opinion last month saying the proposed ordinance conflicts with state law

“

My preference would be to avoid the cost and burden of litigation, both for the City and the state, and I therefore respectfully request that the City take the necessary steps to prevent this unlawful proposal from presentation at the April ballot.”

— Attorney General Derek Schmidt

and that a public vote to adopt it would have “no legal force and effect.” He also warned Wichita that he would be required to sue to enforce state law by seeking judicial confirmation of the ordinance’s invalidity.

“My preference would be to avoid the cost and burden of litigation, both for the City and the state,

and I therefore respectfully request that the City take the necessary steps to prevent this unlawful proposal from presentation at the April ballot,” Schmidt wrote in a March 5 letter.

Schmidt declined to discuss the matter Wednesday.

City Council Member Janet Miller said in

a news release that the council placed the proposed ordinance on the ballot out of respect for Wichita residents who were concerned enough about the issue to submit a petition with 3,000 signatures.

“The right to petition the City Council for ordinance changes through a referendum is basic to our form of government,” Miller said.

In its court filing, the city is seeking a court order determining if the new ordinance conflicts with state law, whether it is enforceable and whether it may be properly enacted.

State lawmakers, meanwhile, have been considering other marijuana-related legislation.

A bill that would allow about 24,000 Kansans

suffering from seizures to receive treatments from locally produced hemp oil was endorsed by a House committee, but has yet to be debated on the House floor.

Another bill diverting most marijuana offenders to treatment and probation on their first and second offenses also stalled after passing through a House committee. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. John Rubin from Shawnee, has said he believes that GOP House leadership postponed a vote on it until after the Wichita election due to pressure from conservative Sedgwick County representatives.

Roberts: U.S. Senate committee to consider reforming food stamps

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — The idea of funding the federal food stamps program through block grants to the states has failed to gain traction in annual budget fights since the 1990s, but it has not gone away and may get a hearing in a U.S. Senate panel, Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas said.

Roberts, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Nutrition and Forestry Committee and sets its schedule, said Tuesday that the idea has support among conservatives and governors who would prefer to administer their own state-level food stamps programs.

He said the idea is in the “talking phase,” although it’s unlikely it would become law under President Barack Obama.

“I’m sure in talking to my colleagues in favor of

“

I’m sure in talking to my colleagues in favor of this kind of approach that we’ll have hearings on it, we just want to make sure that the quality of the program does not suffer.”

— U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts this kind of approach that we’ll have hearings on it, we just want to make sure that the quality of the program does not suffer,” Roberts said, while touring the Washburn Rural High School cafeteria outside Topeka.

Sarah Little, a spokeswoman for Roberts, said later that the issue is low on the priority list and would require either changes to the federal budget through the reconciliation process or amendments to the 2014 farm bill, which the senator would be loath

to revisit.

In March, a federal agriculture official publicly contradicted Republican Gov. Sam Brownback over the governor’s support for the block grant idea. Roberts said he is generally in favor of more local control, but handing the program over to the states would be problematic.

“The problem with that is you get a hodgepodge with regards to every state has something a little different,” Roberts said. “There’s something to be said for a unified

system all across the country.”

Brownback has also been criticized for his overhaul of the school funding system, which scrapped the existing formula for determining state aid to schools and replacing it with fixed grants to school districts based on what they received in the past. Roberts said the approach was reasonable given the complexities of the previous system.

But Brenda Dietrich, superintendent of USD 437 schools who accompanied Roberts on the tour, criticized the notion that the governor’s plan would help schools by making it easier to spend their funding flexibly.

“When you don’t get any additional dollars the flexibility is kind of a moot point.” Dietrich said. “If you’re broke, does it matter that you’re flexible?”

Washington — The head of the commission working to build a memorial honoring President Dwight D. Eisenhower plans to resign and says a Kansas senator should lead the effort.

In a letter Tuesday to the Eisenhower Memorial Commission, 93-year-old Rocco Siciliano, of Los Angeles, said he plans to step down as chairman. He said Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas should be the next chairman. Eisenhower grew up in Abilene.

Roberts says he would be honored to serve as chairman with the goal of ensuring a lasting tribute to Eisenhower on the National Mall.

Siciliano served in the Eisenhower White House.

He led the memorial commission for 15 years and oversaw hiring Frank Gehry as its designer. In recent years, the effort stalled amid objections to the design from Eisenhower’s family.

Blue Bell expands recall of ice cream Brenham, Texas — Blue Bell Creameries has expanded its recall of products made at an Oklahoma plant after pints of banana pudding ice cream tested positive for listeriosis.

The Texas-based dairy company said Tuesday that no illnesses linked to those pints have been confirmed.

The Texas Rangers said Wednesday that they won’t offer Blue HEALTH Bell at their upcoming homestand against the Houston Astros. The Astros previously said Blue Bell wouldn’t be offered on their opening day earlier this week.

The company last month issued the recall after ice cream contaminated with listeriosis was linked to three deaths at a Kansas hospital. The foodborne illness was tracked to a production line in Brenham, Texas, and later to a second line in Broken Arrow, Okla.

Operations have been suspended at the Oklahoma plant.

Bird flu restrictions lifted for 2 counties Manhattan — Kansas has lifted restrictions on the movement of poultry flocks in two counties imposed after a case of bird flu was confirmed last month.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the state Department of Agriculture lifted its restrictions for parts of Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties earlier this week.

The department created a so-called surveillance zone in mid-March after samples from a flock with ducks and chickens in Leavenworth County tested positive for bird flu.

The department said it responded to seven reported cases of sick birds but the tests for avian influenza were negative.

The agency still is encouraging poultry owners to isolate new animals, move livestock away from property boundaries and thoroughly clean equipment and animal areas.

Ex-city clerk gets 6 months for fraud Wichita — A U.S. attorney’s office says a former Altoona city clerk has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to one count of bank fraud.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Tuesday that Chrystal COURTS Scherbarth also was ordered to pay more than $47,000 in restitution to the city of Altoona.

Grissom’s office said Scherbarth used her access to the city’s accounts at First Neodesha Bank in the scheme. She fraudulently increased her hourly and overtime pay, and credited herself with unearned vacation and sick leave.

Authorities say the crime cost Altoona more than $47,800.

CLUB

Theatre Lawrence production pokes fun at Victorian customs

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

T

he year is 1879, and the esteemed scientists of the all-male Explorers Club are facing a very serious dilemma. Gathered in the group’s London headquarters, the men must decide whether they’ll allow a woman to join their ranks.

A small menagerie of dead animals adorns the wood-paneled walls. A fox, a badger, a water buffalo — they’re all prizes from the men’s expeditions, mounted and stuffed and brought back home to mother England.

“And they’re all looking down on these people who are self-described as a superior race, and thinking, ‘you fools,’” says Carole Ries, director of Theatre Lawrence’s newest play, “The Explorers Club,” a madcap satire of Victorian England slated to open Friday at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive.

Approximately 10 stuffed animals on loan from Kansas University’s Natural History Museum decorate the set, which calls to mind a pompous, grown-up version of a kids’ clubhouse bearing a “no girls allowed” sign.

“It’s making fun of Victorian times and how Britain felt entitled in the belief that everyone else in the world, particularly

indigenous cultures, were savages, and that they should convert to the British ways,” Ries says.

Set during a period in which the British Empire enjoyed almost-unchallenged world dominance, “The Explorers Club” pokes fun at the scholars who tried to justify their bigoted beliefs with religion or pseudo-science.

At one point, the patronizing Professor Sloane asks Luigi, a tribesman that female explorer Phyllida SpotteHume brought back to London from her expedition, if he has ever read the Bible. Because Luigi (not his real name, of course) doesn’t speak English, the professor pantomimes licking his finger and turning the pages of an imaginary book, which Luigi gamely mimics without knowing what the Bible is.

“The male lead, Lucius, says, ‘He’s just repeating words he doesn’t understand,’ and Sloane says, ‘Well, that’s good enough for the Church,’” recounts Ries. “I love that moment.”

The 2013 comedy, penned by “Legally Blonde” lyricist Nell Benjamin, examines social issues like sexism and colonialism through a modern lens, following anthropologist Spotte-

Hume as she attempts to gain entry to The Explorers Club.

Despite her qualifications — the play opens shortly after SpotteHume’s return from the Lost City of Pahatlabong, which she “discovers” much in the way Christopher Columbus “discovered” America — she struggles to earn the respect of her male counterparts, who turn out to be silly idiots.

called “archaeo-theologist,” believes women are inherently devious and weak-willed, and hence would tarnish The Explorers Club name.

Only Lucius Fretway, the club’s acting president, wants to admit Spotte-Hume, with whom he is smitten.

“I think she truly is more of a scientist like Darwin was. He wasn’t exploiting what he looked for, he was just trying to learn,” Ries says. “If there is a straight man in the play, it’s Phyllida.”

In Theatre Lawrence’s production, actress Abby Hadel plays both SpotteHume and her uppity sister, Countess Glamorgan.

To avoid confusion, costumer Jane Pennington made sure to emphasize the “expense and luxuri-

ousness” of the countess’ clothing, while dressing Hadel in more conservative outfits as SpotteHume, often relying on reproduced Victorian-era dress patterns.

When the two go to meet the queen, however, Spotte-Hume opts out of her khaki explorer suits and instead wears a “rich” gown that would have been much more conventional for a lady of the time period.

“She’s still very feminine and she’s the object of [Lucius’] affection, so she can’t be portrayed in really manly clothes,” Pennington says. “You need to see that she, in spite of what she does in regards to exploring, is still a girl’s girl.”

The idea that Phyllida Spotte-Hume can forge

ahead in a male-dominated field despite while retaining her femininity is a thoroughly modern concept, Ries says.

In a sublime coincidence, The Explorers Club, it turns out, actually exists. Founded in 1904 in New York City, a quarter-century after the events of the play, the real-life organization is still around today. But, echoing the attitudes of its fictional counterpart, the organization didn’t admit women until 1981.

While one sister married a well-to-do count and spends her days being waited on by servants, the other leads expeditions through treacherous terrains and studies the customs of indigenous tribes.

But really, says Ries, they’re not all that different. They just chose different paths in life.

“It almost feels like the same woman looking into the mirror — which way one could go and the other went,” Ries says. “I think they’re practically mirror images. They’re doppelgangers.”

Voter apathy Low voter turnout in local elections is worrisome, but it doesn’t justify major election changes under consideration in the Kansas Legislature.

I

t’s hard to understand why local elections draw so few voters to the polls.

On Tuesday, three new members were elected to the Lawrence City Commission and five members to the Lawrence school board. But despite the many important issues that will be decided by these and other local officials elected in Douglas County Tuesday, only 16.05 percent of registered voters went to the polls to register their opinions.

Lawrence residents should be embarrassed!

It’s hard to imagine that local residents simply aren’t concerned about the operation of their public schools, the condition of city streets, how city services are delivered and who is making spending decisions that will affect their local tax bills.

These are decisions that affect our daily lives, but only a relative handful of voters seem to make the important connection between electing good, well-motivated city officials and maintaining a high quality of life in Lawrence.

It’s little comfort that Lawrence isn’t alone in its voter apathy. Local elections in Wichita also drew a 16 percent turnout, but officials there thought that wasn’t too bad compared to the 12 percent turnout in 2011. Salina was in about the same boat with an 18 percent turnout Tuesday compared to 12 percent two years ago. Topeka elections attracted just 12.75 percent of its voters. A sales tax increase to rehabilitate the Hutchinson Sports Arena managed to boost turnout in Reno County to about 18 percent.

These low turnout figures undoubtedly will be cited by Kansas legislators who support a current bill that would move local city and school board elections to November in even-numbered years, combining them with state and national elections. Such a move is needed, they say, to boost participation in local elections. The current legislation would keep local elections non-partisan, but it would put the state one step closer to partisan local elections and a system that would allow straight-party voting.

Moving local elections to November might increase the number of votes cast in those races, but it would do nothing to enhance voter engagement or education.

Local races and local issues are likely to get lost in the bigger state and national campaigns and many people will be voting for local candidates they know little or nothing about. Allowing voters to check a single box to vote a straight-party ticket, as some have proposed, would give voters an opportunity to cast purely partisan votes for local candidates without even having to read their names on the ballot.

The apathy that voters have shown toward local elections certainly is worthy of concern, but combining local elections with state and national contests isn’t the right remedy. Other steps, such as increased use of mail ballots, are worth exploring before throwing out the current system for an alternative that presents a whole different set of problems for voters and election officials.

Many details remain in Iran pact Washington — There’s a buoyant sense at the White House this week — a feeling that a much-embattled President Obama has achieved the goal he set in January 2009 of engaging Iran on the basis of “mutual interest and mutual respect.” But like the dog who catches the car he’s been chasing, Obama must now worry about what to do next.

The first priority is pinning down the deal that Secretary of State John Kerry reached last week so that it’s not a fuzzy framework, but an actual, enforceable agreement. There are many details left to clarify, and U.S. officials aren’t yet sure they actually have clinched the deal that they appeared to have won.

Problem areas include limits on Iranian research and development of advanced centrifuges buried underground at Fordow; the mechanism for removing sanctions and then reimposing them if Iran is thought to be cheating; and the procedures for inspecting supposedly “non-nuclear” sites where covert research might be taking place.

These are big holes in the framework. Its unfinished nature is a sign that the administration wants the final pact so much that it will offer compromises that allow the Iranians to save face, even at modest cost to U.S. interests. The administration’s goal, over the next three months, appears to be gaining the best final accord possible — that the Iranians can also sell back home.

“

Obama rejects the case made by Netanyahu and congressional critics that if the U.S. just keeps squeezing, the Iranians will capitulate. The White House thinks too much pressure could backfire.”

Obama’s comfort level has been boosted by the presence at the negotiating table of Energy Secretary Ernie Moniz, one of the world’s top nuclear physicists. Moniz can signal compromises that, while appearing generous, have little practical consequence, for technical reasons.

Obama’s outreach to Iran has been shaped from the beginning by his effort to understand how Iranians see the world — and to distinguish between truly dangerous, aggressive actions and more comprehensible defensive moves. This empathetic view is part of what irks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But centuries of diplomatic history suggest that such an ability to see the world

through the adversary’s eyes is essential for effective negotiation.

If there has been a surprise in the Iranian negotiating style, it’s that they have adhered so closely to the terms of the initial framework reached in November 2013, rather than cheating at the edges. President Hassan Rouhani sought to underline this theme of trustworthiness (contrary to what the Israelis and many Arabs see in Iran) when he said last Friday: “If the other side honors its promises, we will honor our promises.”

Obama rejects the case made by Netanyahu and congressional critics that if the U.S. just keeps squeezing, the Iranians will capitulate. The White House thinks too much pressure could backfire. U.S. officials agree that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s ultimate goal is regime survival, but officials saw the crowds in the streets of Tehran last week cheering the deal as a check on Khamenei and other hard-liners.

The most delicate test ahead may involve, not the Iranians, but Saudi Arabia and the other Arab Gulf States. Obama knows that the metastatic danger for the Middle East is a postagreement scramble by Iran’s Sunni rivals, such as the Saudis, Egyptians, Emiratis and Turks — to achieve their own versions of the Iranian “threshold nuclear capability” envisioned in the agreement.

The White House is still mulling the details, but of-

ficials are contemplating a kind of “dual engagement” approach. Even as it negotiates with Iran, the administration might extend security guarantees to the Gulf States, pledging to come to their defense if attacked by external powers.

(Tricky question: Would that include a strike from Israel?) In exchange, the Gulf States hopefully would agree to forgo or limit their nuclear programs, keeping some lid on proliferation in the region.

Obama’s challenge is that the Sunni nations have been suffering a kind of vertigo since the Arab revolutions of 2011, doubting themselves and the United States even as they reel from Iran’s proxy wars. Somehow these Sunni nations need to find the will to push back, so that there could eventually be a security balance between Iran and its neighbors. Because Obama understands the need for this pushback, he has supported the Saudi assault on Yemen, and might even endorse a Turkish military move into northern Syria.

Dealing with Congress will be its own special nightmare, as always for this administration. Obama needs a formula that allows members to reassure Netanyahu of their toughness, while keeping what many see as a pretty good Iran deal — and accepting that it’s the president, not Congress, who conducts foreign policy.

However, I was in the Korean demilitarized zone at the time. One could say I have a permit for open carry.

Consequences To the editor: In Tuesday’s paper was another article about the consequences of state legislators passing legislation that affect the operation, policy and practices of our public schools, “District expecting to repay $672K in state aid.” I have now come to the realization that they must have a keener knowledge about running schools than our locally hired school employees and the elected members of boards of education.

ergy standards, H.B.2373, or Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for the City and Community of Lawrence, Kan. In the Houston Chronicle, Jan. 6, the University of Texas’ Michael Webber points to the present as time to put a tax on carbon emissions at the federal level. Even Exxon Mobil CEO, Rex Tillerson has gone on record saying he would prefer a carbon tax to cap and trade. Because oil prices are down, the proposed $10 to $25 per ton of CO2 is seen as affordable by domestic oil producers, with an estimated increase of 25 cents per gallon of gasoline at the pump. The $150 billion this tax would raise would be refunded to citizens to cancel increased energy costs such as electricity.

Therefore, I would respectfully suggest that legislators take a further leap into their incursion into public education that will also save money. Pass legislation that will rid the schools of their chief administrators and their locally elected school board members thus saving the cost of employee salaries and the expenses associated with operating and electing the school boards. The legislation would then appoint legislators as the chief administrators of schools in their respective districts.

Oh, my mistake. They don’t need to pass legislation. They are already doing some of this just not the part that deals with the consequences.

BOSTON The real trial is about to begin in the Boston Marathon bombing case.

On Wednesday, a federal jury found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, guilty on all 30 charges for his part in the twin blasts near the race finish line two years ago.

Three people died, and more than 260 were wounded.

Judge George O’Toole said the sentencing hearing will begin early next week, but he didn’t specify a day. At issue: Will Tsarnaev be executed or serve life in prison without parole?

Tsarnaev’s lawyer, Judy Clarke, never denied her client was involved in the attack. She crafted her trial defense to lay the blame on Tsarnaev’s older brother, Tamerlan, who died during a shootout with police when Dzhokhar ran over him hours before being captured. In her portrayal, Tamerlan was the mastermind. On the trial’s first day, Clarke acknowledged that her client had coordinated with Tamerlan. She called just four witnesses; none suggested Tsarnaev was innocent.

“We are not asking you to go easy on Dzhokhar,” Clarke said in her closing argument. His actions “deserve to be condemned.”

The defense could avoid a death sentence if Clarke’s team can persuade even one juror to hold out for life imprisonment.

“In some ways, the defense has a slight advantage” in the penalty phase, Rosanno Cavallaro, a Suffolk University Law School professor, said in an email. “The focus shifts to him ... and (his) relationship with his brother, all new information, whereas the prosecution must necessarily repeat some of its evidence.”

The Justice Department violated the Constitution by secretly gathering logs of billions of calls from the United States to as many as 116 countries, Human Rights Watch alleged in a lawsuit filed against the government on Wednesday.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles, asks a judge to declare that the nowhalted surveillance operation was illegal and to permanently block the government from restarting it.

The Justice Department acknowledged in January that the Drug Enforcement Administration had been secretly gathering logs of Americans’ international phone calls.

TECHNOLOGY REVIEW

Apple Watch makes a deep impression v CONTINUED FROM 1B

A smartwatch isn’t an essential purchase like your phone is and that’s still so with the Apple Watch. I wantone, anyway.

I used Apple Watchto open a hotel room door at the W Times Square, to pay for items at Whole Foods and to arrange an Uber.

Keep in mind you’ll need an iPhone 5 or later to get started, customize settings, and take advantage of most apps. Prepare for a learning curve, too.

You control the watch through various combination of swipes, taps, presses of the screen (at different pressure sensitivity levels), and manipulating a digital crown on the side, which looks like the

crown used to set the time on old-fashioned watches.

It may take you a couple of days to get reasonably comfortable. Haptic cues (subtle taps on the wrist) help.

You can press and hold the crown in to wake up Siri or summon Siri with the voice command, “Hey Siri.”

Pressing the side button below the crown brings you to a “friends” screen from where you can call the person, send a message or, if the recipient has his or her own Apple Watch, share a tap, heartbeat or animated sketch that draws on their watch screen in near real time in the same way that you drew it on yours.

It’s an elegant combination of style and purpose, even if it often serves as an at-a-glance stand-in for the iPhone.

Other takeaways DICK TRACY IS OVERRATED Making or answering phone calls from your wrist is not a great experience. The speakerphone isn’t very loud. I struggled to hear during watch calls in my car and in Times Square.

Nice messages feature: You can dictate a response and either send the text that is recognized or your actual voice recording.

PAY BY PHONE Apple Pay on the watch is even easier to use to buy stuff at retail than on the iPhone. Hold the watch next to the terminal.

The transaction should almost immediately go through, as it did in my tests.

For extra security, you must enter a passcode before placing the watch on your wrist each day.

APPS The current apps supply isn’t huge. Through the Photos app, you can store up to 500 photos, zooming with the digital crown.

You can control the camera on your iPhone through a remote app on the watch.

A Maps app supplies directions, but you’re relying on the phone for GPS. You feel taps when it’s time to turn, but there was no audible voice instruction.

Apple is pumping up the fitness aspects of its timepiece to show you how many calories you’ve burned, how much exercise you’ve gotten and how often you get off your duff.

Compatible apps include Evernote, Twitter, Flipboard and, yes, USA TODAY. You can see which apps are available by visiting the App Store from the Apple Watch app on the phone.

BATTERY Add Apple Watch to the devices you best charge nightly, using a proprietary magnetic cable. Apple’s claim of 18 hours between charges seems accurate based on my pretty heavy daily usage.

The battery is not removable by the user.

You can tour the Apple Watch yourself beginning this Friday in Apple Stores.

As with most first-time products, it isn’t flawless or essential.

But among smartwatches, Apple Watch is second to none.

I want one.

The buzz on Apple Watch Most agree: There’s a high learning curve, but a rich payoff Brett Molina @brettmolina23 USA TODAY

Did you hear a lot of talk about Apple Watch on Wednesday? That’s because the tech press has finally released their reviews of the anticipated smartwatch.

There seems to be some consensus on a few ideas, such as the Apple Watch’s high learning curve. Here’s another common refrain: The Apple Watch is the best smartwatch on the market, but not necessarily something you need.

Here’s a look at what others said about Apple Watch: The New York Times: “The first Apple Watch may not be for you — but someday soon, it will change your world.”

IN BRIEF CYBER ATTACKS TARGET WHITE HOUSE EVERY DAY

The White House is under attack every day. Cyber attack.

The methods change, and the suspects range from individual actors to governments like Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

The goal is basically the same, to penetrate government computers for classified information.

“Government networks, including the White House, are probed every day,” said one Obama administration official, speaking on anonymity to discuss internal security.

Few offensives are made public, though an October breach that may have involved Russia continues to draw media scrutiny, including a CNN story Tuesday.

The war became somewhat public when the White House disclosed in October that it made changes to one of its networks because of an attempted intrusion.

In an Oct. 29 statement, the White House said it had “identified activity of concern” on the unclassified Executive Office of the President network.

Administration officials said no classified files were hacked during that incident. They said Rus-

mance while making it sleeker?

The Apple Watch makes you look good. But the next one is bound to make you look even better.”

The Verge: “There’s no question that the Apple Watch is the most capable smartwatch available today. It is one of the most ambitious products I’ve ever seen; it wants to do and change so much about how we interact with technology. But that ambition robs it of focus: It can do tiny bits of everything, instead of a few things extraordinarily well.”

Mashable: “Apple Watch does as much, maybe more, than competing smartwatches, but it doesn’t demand that you pay attention to it. It also succeeded in its most important task: getting me to keep my iPhone in my pocket. That’s a pretty impressive feat.”

Bloomberg: “The watch is not life-changing. It is, however, excellent. Apple will sell millions of these devices, and many people will love and obsess over them.”

NATION/WORLD SOUTH CAROLINA POLICE SHOOTING

Video of killing spurs protesters Officer charged with murder and fired

CHARLESTON COUNTY

NORTH CHARLESTON, S . C.

Angry protesters chanted “Black lives matter” and “All lives matter” in front of City Hall on Wednesday, a day after a white police officer was charged with shooting and killing a black man after a confrontation caught on video.

North Charleston Officer Michael Slager, 33, was charged with the murder of Walter Scott, 50, after a passerby sent a cellphone video of Saturday’s shooting to authorities and Scott’s family.

Mayor Keith Summey said Wednesday that Slager has been

fired but his wife, who is eight months pregnant, will receive city health benefits. Summey also said the city has obtained a grant to equip every police officer with a body camera.

Police Chief Eddie Driggers said, “I have watched the video and I was sickened by what I saw.”

The emergence of the video shocked this city of 100,000 with a population split almost evenly between blacks and whites. The tragedy follows months of national discourse about race and policing after law enforcement confrontations with unarmed, black citizens in Ferguson, Mo., New York City and elsewhere.

The video shows Slager drop-

Top court gives new life to death debate Some states signal an end to U.S. executions Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Kent Sprouse is set to die Thursday by lethal injection, a method of execution botched so often lately that the Supreme Court will weigh in on its constitutionality this month.

Sprouse, however, isn’t likely to get a reprieve because he’s imprisoned in Texas — by far the nation’s leader in lethal injections and a state that has managed to carry out a regular schedule of executions without mishap.

The state recently snared a new supply of pentobarbital, the drug of choice for executioners in a country fast running out of humane ways to kill death row inmates. That should give Texas enough of the barbiturate to execute four men at its Huntsville state penitentiary this month, bringing its total to 526 lethal injections since it spearheaded the practice in 1982.

SOMBER MOOD AS RESIDENTS, VICTIMS REFLECT ON VERDICTS Cries of justice spread as Tsarnaev guilty on all counts

G. Jeffrey MacDonald and Marisol Bello USA TODAY

The mother of 8-yearold Martin Richards didn’t have to say anything after a federal jury found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty of killing her son and three other people in the Boston Marathon bombings and aftermath.

Denise Richards’ reaction was clear when she stood up out of respect for the jurors as they left the courtroom. She wiped tears from both eyes.

Cries of justice spread quickly Wednesday when the jury found Tsarnaev, 21, guilty on all 30 counts in the 2013 bombing attack that also injured 260 people.

Bostonians got what they wanted: a clean-sweep, 30-count conviction of the man whose lawyers admitted to his involvement in bombing their marathon on Patriots Day in 2013.

In court and across the city, no one was jubilant.

At South Station, Terry Emerson wore a “We Are Boston Strong” sweatshirt.

“He needed to be found guilty on every count,” said Emerson, a computer programmer. “But people who lost someone aren’t going to get their family members back. You can only get so much satisfaction out of this.”

The verdict came as no surprise. Tsarnaev’s lawyers said he was involved and didn’t challenge the evidence against him. Having expected the conviction, the city took it somewhat in stride.

“Nothing can ever replace the lives that were lost or changed forever, but at least there is some relief in knowing that justice is served and responsibility will be taken,” Heather Abbott, who lost her lower left leg in the bombing, posted on her Facebook page.

Tsarnaev’s mother, Zubeidat, who now lives in Russia, sent a note to a family friend declaring Americans are “the terrorists here,” Vocativ.com reported.

As the verdict was read, Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen who immigrated from Russia with his parents and brother a decade before the attack, showed no emotion, only crossing his arms and fidgeting. Frustration with his

Diplomatic road may be bumpy for U.S., Obama at summit of the Americas Rick Jervis USA TODAY

President Obama arrives at a summit of the Americas this week in high standing as the U.S. leader who’s finally re-establishing relations with Cuba, something other leaders coming here have long sought.

A likely handshake between Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro no doubt will be the photo op of the two-day gathering Friday and Saturday.

seeming swagger entering the courtroom each day and his disengaged demeanor came to the surface once the verdict was in.

“Arrogant” is how Karen Brassard of Nashua, N.H., described the apparent attitude of Tsarnaev, whose bombs caused serious lower-body injuries to her, her husband and daughter. Had he shown remorse, “I wouldn’t have bought it,” she said, because he’s been so “disinterested” all along.

“Closure? I don’t think so because it will forever be part of our lives,” she said. “But we’re all going to move on with our lives and get to some sense of normalcy, hopefully, when this is all done.”

Boston transit officer Dic Donohue, who was shot during the manhunt, thanked supporters in a series of tweets.

In addition, Cuban opposition groups are planning rap concerts and protest meetings to highlight Cuba’s suppression of political freedom, a source of concern in Congress as Obama renews relations with the communist island.

pharmacies willing to supply drugs that can kill reliably, without the gasps and groans the Supreme Court has indicated may violate the Constitution’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment. In three weeks, the justices will consider a challenge from three death row inmates to Oklahoma’s lethal injection method, used by several other states. A ruling against the use of midazolam, a sedative lacking the knockout punch of pentobarbital, as part of a three-drug cocktail would further crimp the country’s ability to execute prisoners.

Even if the court does not rule against Oklahoma, other developments point to the fading of the death penalty in America: uSeveral states have imposed moratoriums on lethal injections because of problems, ranging from botched executions in Oklahoma and Ohio to a “cloudy” drug concoction in Georgia. u Last month, both the American Pharmacists Association and the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacies discouraged members from participating in the process. The U.S. group called it “fundamentally contrary to the role of pharmacists as providers of health care.” uThe difficulties involved in lethal injections are forcing states with capital punishment laws to rejuvenate backup methods once viewed as beyond the pale. Tennessee would allow electrocution; Utah, death by firing squad. Oklahoma lawmakers are moving to legalize the use of nitrogen gas.

$29B MERGER PROPOSED FOR MYLAN, PERRIGO Mylan is offering to buy fellow drugmaker Perrigo in a cash and stock acquisition that would create a nearly $29 billion generic medications giant. Netherlands-based Mylan said Wednesday it had offered $205 per share in a non-binding proposal that was delivered to Ireland-headquartered Perrigo on April 6. The offer represents a $24.5% premium to Perrigo’s $164.71 closing price in Tuesday trading. Perrigo shares surged 18.4% to a $195 closing price Wednesday following the announcement of the latest proposed entry in a recent surge of pharmaceutical industry mergers and acquisitions. Shares of Mylan closed up 14.8% at $68.36.

Among the new emojis: gadgets like the Apple Watch and iPhone 6, representation of same-sex families and 32 new flags. The feature causing the biggest stir, of course, is a new option that lets users hold down on some emojis and choose from up to six skin tones. The “skin tone modifier” appears to be a new feature to most of the symbols that look like humans.

Tesla’s latest entry model ups the ante Tesla Motors said Wednesday that it has a new lowest-priced model that has more features than the previous base model and costs about $5,000 more, at $76,200 including shipping.

The new entry car, Model S 70D, went on sale immediately.

Tesla sees the move as allowing its high-performance electric cars to better compete against leading luxury makers BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Tesla has forecast sales of 55,000 vehicles — Model S variants and the as-yet-unlaunched Model X — this year. That would be up 70% from 2014 sales.

The electric-car maker’s shares zipped to a morning high of $213.50 in pre-market trading Wednesday, on word of the new model, then eased to $207.67 and closed at 2.2%, or $4.22, higher.

The new 70D has a 70-kilowatt battery good for 240 miles of range per battery charge and a zero-to-60-mph time of 5.2 sec-

The mega-merger, one of the biggest in the energy sector in over a decade, comes amid a slump in oil and natural gas prices, and it could ignite a flurry of industry mergers.

Alcoa profits suggest murky earnings season Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Alcoa unofficially kicked off first-quarter earnings season Wednesday, and its results — profit that topped estimates and revenue that didn’t — hinted that the upcoming deluge of earnings news might be a bumpy ride.

The company reported an adjusted quarterly profit of 28 cents a share, 2 cents better than expected, says S&P Capital. It was at least the fifth quarter in a row that Alcoa’s earnings had topped estimates, and a reason for optimism that companies as a whole might deliver better earnings than expected.

Investors always watch Alcoa’s results closely. It’s one of the first big companies to report earnings every quarter and has been a beacon of strength as one of just 12 companies in the Standard &

Poor’s 500 that has beaten earnings expectations for at least the four straight quarters by 10% or more. And it is involved in many areas of the economy, ranging from aerospace to automotive, and has large customers overseas.

Earnings topping expectations will be key to maintain investors’ comfort level with current stock valuations. Stocks have marched higher despite the fact that an “earnings recession” is likely in the first quarter. Analysts are calling for profit reported by companies in the S&P 500 to fall roughly 3% in the first quarter, says S&P Capital IQ. That’s disappointing because analysts back in January thought earnings would rise 5.6%.

There is no panic yet. The earnings decline for the first quarter is based on estimates.

Companies typically beat earnings estimates, and that could bring the actual growth rate dur-

Alcoa is one of the first big companies to report earnings each quarter.

ing the quarter to closer to flat or even in the growth territory. So far, 19 companies in the S&P 500 have reported earnings and 16 have beaten expectations through Tuesday.

The earnings decline is also a bit of a distortion. A vast majority of the expected earnings recession is due to the implosion of oil profits. Analysts expect 1Q profit

by S&P 500 energy companies to plummet 64%. That more than erases the fact that analysts expect profit in five of the 10 S&P

500 industry sector to grow. Financials, health care and consumer discretionary companies are seen putting up the biggest growth during the quarter of 10.9%, 9.1% and 7.3% respectively.

But the fact remains many of the easy profit gains — due to cost cutting — are evaporating and companies need to find new drivers of demand. Companies in the S&P 500 are also likely to post 1.1% lower revenue during the quarter, creating a squeeze from the top. And that was the troubling aspect of Alcoa’s results: Quarterly revenue of $5.8 billion missed expectations by 2%, says S&P Capital IQ. One wild card for Alcoa — and others — is global growth. And that’s something investors will be watching as earnings season unfolds. “Assuming decent global economy growth, Alcoa is still a very undervalued stock,” says Argus analyst William Selesky.

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

Almost everyone on Wall Street — including the influential Federal Reserve — has weighed in on where they think the U.S. economy is headed. But what we haven’t heard yet — but will hear during the first-quarter earnings season — is what top executives in the corner offices of the biggest companies in America think about the business outlook for the rest of the year.

“We haven’t heard yet what companies think is going on with the economy,” says Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones. “And company CEOs have a much better take.”

Basically what investors want to know, says Warne, is whether the economic outlook is still rosy

Shell said the deal would produce savings of about $2.5 billion a year. The deal also represents an opportunity for both firms to cut overlapping costs. Shell said the merger will cut current spending on oil and energy exploration by nearly 50%.

Still, the deal won’t boost Shell’s earnings until at least 2017. Executives said the deal will be “mildly accretive to earnings per share in 2017 and strongly accretive thereafter.”

BG was created in 1997 when

British gas split into two companies. Last year, BG moved its LNG trading business to Singapore from London, a move that could cut its annual taxes by $200 million.

“We firmly believe that this is the right strategic next step for Shell’s shareholders, and for the shareholders of BG,” Shell Chairman Jorma Ollila said on a call with industry analysts. “By combining BG’s portfolio and skills set with Shell’s capabilities, we can deliver a step change in the growth priorities for both of our companies.”

X marks the spot for dividend paydays Q: What is the ex-dividend date?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Collecting dividends is one of investors’ favorite pastimes. But you’d better understand the ex-dividend date, or you might miss out on some of these payments.

The ex-dividend date determines whether or not you’re entitled to get the upcoming dividend payment made by a company. If you buy a stock on the exdividend date or sometime after that, you won’t get the dividend.

The ex-dividend date is usually set to be two trading days before the so-called “date of record” for a dividend. The date of record is the date that you must be on the books of owning a stock.

If you buy shares on the ex-dividend or after, there’s not enough time to handle the paperwork and list you as the owner of the stock. The investor who sold the stock to you will get that dividend. Keep in mind, you’ll get the next dividend as long as you don’t sell the stock before the next ex-dividend date.

Ex-dividend dates are also helpful in understanding short-term movements of stocks. It’s typical for shares to fall on the ex-dividend date. That’s because the stock price must decline to reflect the fact that investors who buy the stock that day won’t get the dividend. Some investors might want to buy on the ex-dividend date if they’d like to avoid the dividend for tax purposes.

Georgetown University professor Brenda Shaffer, an energy specialist, says Royal Dutch Shell appears to be banking on both BG’s markets and the globalization of natural gas prices.

“Prices are completely fractured market to market,” Shaffer says. “With this kind of deal, Shell thinks the market is going toward a global market and they’ll be in a good position to have a large geographic spread.”

Crystal vs. Gad: A comic collision Unlikely pair play uneasy partners reluctantly bound by a late-night show Bill Keveney @billkev USA TODAY

CULVER CITY, CALIF. Growing up in the ’50s, Billy Crystal’s comedic heroes included Sid Caesar, Steve Allen and Jackie Gleason. Growing up in the ’80s, Josh Gad’s were Robin Williams, John Belushi and Billy Crystal.

That gap — Crystal is 67, Gad is 34 — and their accompanying perspectives on comedy and life are at the heart of The Comedians (FX, tonight, 10 ET/PT), which stars the pair as back-biting FXcomedy-show partners named Billy Crystal and Josh Gad. The generational disconnect is “what attracted me. Even though you’re both going after the same goal, you’re doing it with a different set of rules, coming from a different history,” Gad says in a joint interview with Crystal. “I have 30 years that I’ve built on in terms of what I’ve been exposed to. Billy has … what? Is it triple that?”

Crystal jumps on the dig.

JERRY SHRIVER AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIF. Scott Eastwood doesn’t remember which movie he was promoting with a smoldering Town & Country photo shoot in 2013. But something clicked worldwide.

Was it the rippled abs, the rugged good looks or the familiar squint he inherited from his famous father, Clint Eastwood?

Whatever it was, the Internet went nuts, and a new hunk was discovered.

“That photo shoot definitely got a lot of attention,” says Eastwood, 29. “You don’t know what’s going to break you out. You just keep working hard.”

Hard work, hot looks and his Hollywood pedigree have paid dividends for Eastwood, who is the leading man in his first big studio production, The Longest Ride (opening Friday). The Nicholas Sparks adaptation showcases the actor’s natural athleticism as bull rider Luke Collins, who woos a studious college girl, Sophia Danko (Britt Robertson).

After a lot of hype and even a flirtation with the Christian Grey role for Fifty Shades of Grey, Eastwood is ready to grab the Hollywood reins.

“I’m ready for the ride,” he says between chicken wings at Saddle Ranch Chop House. “The only thing I can say is that I’ve been doing this for 12 years. That’s a long time I’ve been grinding, trying to be a better actor.”

Eastwood caught the acting bug early, born to film royal Clint Eastwood, now 84, and former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves, 63. He’d visit Dad on movie sets such as 1995’s The Bridges of

MICHAEL TACKETT, 20TH CENTURY FOX

Bull rider Luke (Eastwood) and ambitious student Sophia (Britt Robertson) are star-crossed lovers in The Longest Ride.

“The only thing I can say is that I’ve been doing this for 12 years.

That’s a long time I’ve been grinding, trying to be a better actor.”

Scott Eastwood

Madison County and found it “mesmerizing.” He eventually asked Clint for an audition for 2006’s Flags of Our Fathers.

“I hounded him, saying ‘I’d love a shot,’ ” Eastwood says. “I went to audition for the lead part, which went to Ryan Phillippe.

But they said there was a smaller part there.”

Scott took bit roles in other Clint projects, from 2008’s Gran Torino through 2012’s Trouble With the Curve. He had to work extra-hard with his father as boss.

“He was harder on me than anyone. He wanted to make sure everyone knew there was no favoritism,” Eastwood says. “You don’t want to make my dad mad.”

Co-star Robertson says she, too, was curious about Eastwood and found he “brings the manliness” along with much more to his leading role — a big step from the good-looking shirtless guy.

“He’s much better than the hype in ways people will not expect,” Robertson says. “People are going to learn to love him.”

They’ll see a lot more of Eastwood, who has roles in Oliver Stone’s Snowden (December) and DC supervillain movie Suicide Squad (August 2016). But he’s cautious about the ride.

“You never believe your own hype,” Eastwood says. “As quick as somebody can be ‘the guy’ in Hollywood, he can be gone the next minute.

“For me, it’s about doing great work. And then hopefully you keep working forever.”

photos,” he says. “I did the White House Correspondents Dinner for Buchanan.”

In the show, based on a Swedish series, Crystal (When Harry Met Sally, 700 Sundays) is the legendary comedian who must reluctantly accept the up-and-coming, more demographically desirable Gad (The Book of Mormon, Frozen) to get a new late-night sketch show on the air. That leads to barbs and more discomfort, even if the characters are comically embellished alter egos.

“When we decided we were going to play ourselves, it came with an understanding that you’ve got to do and say things that you don’t say or do in real life, but it would be really fun to have that bizarro part of you come out,” Crystal says. “It makes the show interesting. It makes it awkward. Some of the funniest moments are when we’re quiet or seething or circling.”

The jibes can be painful because of their connection to reality, says Gad, who gets poked for one of his less successful credits, short-lived NBC comedy 1600 Penn.

The insults “are based in a form of reality that is truthful enough that it can hurt. When you do that, you sort of have to pull each other into a huddle and say, ‘Are we going to be OK?’ ” Gad says. “And then we have that Thelma and Louise jump together. If we’re going to do it, we’ve got to commit. I think we did — and then some.”

Crystal says he has much in common with Gad. “Even how many years apart we are, there’s a kinship of familiarity that we have with aspects of the business and things we both like and dislike,” he says. “It just felt like the right thing.”

Ellis has info to make pro decision

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Cliff proof system flawed I feel sorry for Cliff Alexander.

Not because he said that Lawrence is the birthplace of basketball on one of those silly videos that oneand-done players make to announce the inevitable. It’s Springfield, Massachusetts, of course, but since James Naismith is buried in Lawrence, some twist that to mean basketball was born here, too.

I feel sorry for Alexander because I think if the system were as it should be and the NCAA allowed a player to hire an agent, declare for the draft, and return to school if he doesn’t like the draft outcome, Alexander could have a bright basketball and financial future.

As it stands, things look a little murky. Only firstround draft choices receive guaranteed contracts. All it takes is one general manager to select Alexander in the first round, and the freshman from Chicago has a nice nest egg, plus a team that has so much invested in him that they’ll do everything they can to develop him.

But why would a GM invest that much in a 6-foot-8 power forward who has yet to demonstrate basketball skill and a feel for the game?

He’s explosive, has a frame that suggests he could pack on muscle, and his long arms give him the potential to play taller than 6-8.

Still, his ceiling probably equates to journeyman power forward, a la Thomas Robinson.

Had Alexander not been punished for the reported actions of his mother — what other segment of society makes a teenager pay for a parent’s misdeed? — and had he decided to stay at Kansas for three years, as did Robinson, it’s not a stretch to think Alexander could have developed into a lottery pick by playing for a winner deep into the tournament.

Now? We won’t know until draft day, but lasting into the second round seems more likely than not. Goodbye sellout crowds and daily practices. Hello, NBA Developmental League, where big men have trouble developing because the guards decide who shoots, and usually that means the guards shoot.

Europe? Of all the players on KU’s team this past season, he seemed the youngest socially. Not everyone is ready to make the adjustment to living and working in Europe.

Kansas could have made good use of Alexander for another two years by developing him, but not to the extent he could have benefited from staying.

First-round lock Kelly Oubre had too much to risk by staying. Alexander, in danger of having a career akin to that of Josh Selby, had too much to risk by leaving, if, that is, his mother running afoul of the NCAA even left that as an option.

The NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee has provided Kansas University junior forward Perry Ellis information on his draft stock as he decides whether to enter the 2015 NBA Draft or return to KU for his senior season, coach Bill Self said Wednesday.

“I would say Perry is a smart kid. He’s got some things to think about, but his head is in the right place,” coach Bill Self told the Journal-World on Wednesday, the day after Cliff Alexander announced plans to join fellow KU freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. in the June draft.

“He is doing everything all our other players are doing. There’s no reason

to push him to do anything because this was the game plan all along, have a year, evaluate it and see what happens, basically the same thing we did last year,” Self added.

Self said he annually files requests for reports on several of his players with the undergraduate advisory committee. The committee consists of NBA player-personnel

experts who provide potential early entries with detailed figures regarding their standing as pro prospects.

“I did it for six guys this year,” Self said, not naming names. “It’s something you submit toward the end of the season. Last year I did it for four, five guys. I’ll always do it. The majority Please see HOOPS, page 3C

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN INFIELDER MATT MCLAUGHIN SINGLES in the Jayhawks’ 10-5 victory over New Mexico on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Efficient Jayhawks sweep

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The offense continued to click for Kansas University’s baseball team as the Jayhawks completed a two-game sweep of New Mexico with a 10-5 victory over the Lobos on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

While the Jayhawks exploded for 10 runs for the second straight day, they did so after collecting nine hits.

Walks, balks and hit batters from New Mexico pitchers Mike Gould and Victor Sanchez sparked the Jayhawks in the first three innings, when

they scored five runs with only one hit.

“You have to be disciplined enough at the plate to get the ball in the strike zone and let them set the table for you,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

Gould committed two balks, Sanchez hit two batters, and they combined for six walks to help kick-start Kansas.

KU’s three-run fourth was highlighted by a two-RBI double by freshman Matt McLaughlin.

“Mid-week games are usually pretty tough on the mound just because you’re playing Friday-Saturday-Sun-

day each week, and you’re kind of throwing the guys in the back half of your bullpen.

That was kind of our message during pregame, was see breaking balls up and bang fastballs,” said McLaughlin, who went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored.

“If it’s not in the zone, don’t swing at it.”

McLaughlin extended his hitting streak to 10 games and has continued to gain confidence throughout his freshman campaign.

“I knew today with how well I had been seeing the Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

When Calvin Thibodeaux runs defensive line drills at Kansas University football practices, he doesn’t do so lightheartedly.

Sure, he barks out instructions and critiques mistakes so his players get the most out of their work.

But the first-year KU assistant coach is just as likely to jump in and demonstrate what he wants. Hopping, cutting, running and working up a sweat are all fair game along the way.

And why not?

Less than 10 years ago the defensive-line coach played the position Thibodeaux at Oklahoma and led the Big 12 in sacks (10) in 2005, when he was first-team allconference.

Thibodeaux, who worked previously at Tulsa and Navarro College and spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Houston, said it didn’t take long once he landed at KU for the Jayhawks on his unit to research his playing days online.

“I think it brings some credibility when they look up and see that you’ve played at the University of Oklahoma and you’ve had some success,” said Thibodeaux, who played in the Holiday and Fiesta bowls in his final two seasons. “I think it’s easy to kind of grab those guys, and they follow you.”

KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said the 2006 OU graduate has an energetic personality, and it shows in his coaching, just like it did when he was a Sooner.

“He’s gonna stay on them until they get that step right.

He demands details out of the players,” Bowen said. “That’s something that’s important at all the coaching spots.”

Cain’s blast lifts Royals over Chisox Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Lorenzo Cain hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning for his third hit, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 7-5 Wednesday night.

Cain homered off Zach Putnam (0-1), the fourth White Sox pitcher, after

Alcides Escobar led off the inning with a single for his third hit.

Wade Davis (1-0) struck out two in a scoreless eighth.

Greg Holland, who had 46 saves last year, worked the ninth for his first save. Royals relievers Jason Frasor, Kelvin Herrera, Davis and

Holland combined for four scoreless innings, striking out five, after Danny Duffy exited.

Eric Hosmer hit a threerun homer in the third for the Royals. Hosmer homered after Mike Moustakas was hit by a pitch and Lorenzo Cain singled.

Hood told police that five people, including the Morris brothers, repeatedly kicked and hit him.

Police say Hood suffered a fractured nose, abrasions and a large bump on his head.

of coaches out there that would have anybody on the bubble would probably do the same thing as well. It’s a way kids can get some form of accurate information that would allow them to digest it and make a decision that would be more educated.

This is something you go through. The players are aware of it. They and the families get the information like the coaches do.”

Self explained, “The advisory committee was something put in place years ago. It allows underclassmen to submit their names to figure out where this committee feels they would potentially go in the draft if they were to come out based on what this committee feels the consensus would be. This advisory deal is a tool to help families and players get accurate information.”

Ellis, who averaged 13.8 points and 6.9 boards last season, has been mentioned as a possible second-round pick. None of the mock drafts have yet placed him in the first round. ESPN’s Chad Ford does not have him among his top-100 draft prospects.

Players have until April 26 to declare; however, the last day a player can pull out of the draft and come back to school is Sunday. If a player declares after Sunday, he is in the draft for good.

Self said he has put no timetable on Ellis. KU’s basketball banquet is Monday night.

Football David Beaty’s entire staff, and he thinks the coaches’ hunger and hard work will make a difference as they attempt to rebuild a downtrodden program.

“When you put us all together in one room, you feel that energy,” Thibodeaux said. “You feel that. Players are gonna pick that up from us.”

This spring, Thibodeaux is working with what could prove to be one of KU’s best units in 2015. With senior defensive ends Ben Goodman and T.J. Semke, junior ends Damani Mosby and Anthony Olobia and senior tackles Kapil Fletcher and Andrew Bolton, Thibodeaux has veterans up front. Red-shirt freshman D.J. Williams and mid-year transfer Jacky Dezir, a sophomore, figure to make an impact, too.

“As long as everybody has that same vision and guys buy in,” the coach said, “good things will happen.”

It helps, Bowen points out, that Thibodeaux understands what it’s like to go to battle in the Big 12. KU players easily can turn to him with questions and trust his answers.

“You can always kind of tell when players come to see their coaches in their office a lot, there’s usually starting to be some relationship built,” Bowen said. “The D-line is in his office quite a bit.”

The roster in limbo: KU, which has received an oral commitment from Carlton Bragg, a 6-foot-9 senior from Cleveland’s Villa Angela St. Joseph High, has three scholarships left to give in recruiting, four if Ellis turns pro, more if anybody transfers.

Will the roster be finalized soon?

“No, not at all,” Self said. “We are still actively recruiting a few guys. We don’t know the timetable in which they are going to make a decision.”

“It’ll definitely be all our scholarship guys, minus international players.

KU freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailuk, who is a native of Ukraine, obviously can’t play for the KU/U.S. squad. If KU doesn’t have 12 scholarship players, Self could add former KU players between the ages of 17 and 24. Incoming freshmen and transfers are eligible to play for the KU/ USA team. l

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Tigers blank Twins again The Associated Press

American League Tigers 11, Twins 0 Detroit — Anibal Sanchez helped Detroit blank Minnesota for the second straight game, Jose Iglesias had four hits, and Alex Avila scored four runs as the Tigers routed the Twins on Wednesday.

Ian Kinsler drove in four runs for Detroit, which had beaten Minnesota 4-0 on opening day behind left-hander David Price. Sanchez (1-0) was impressive as well, allowing three hits and two walks in 62⁄3 innings while striking out six. It was the right-hander’s first start since Aug. 8. He was limited over the last two months of last season by a pectoral issue.

on nine hits, a walk and two hit batters. Duffy went five-plus innings, permitting five runs on eight hits.

The White Sox have lost 13 of their past 16 games to the Royals and have been outscored 8643.

Trainer’s room White Sox: LHP Chris Sale, who broke his right foot in spring training, said he is set to start Sunday against the Twins.

“I was hurt. I’m not hurt anymore,” Sale said. “I think it’s time to take blinders off and run the race.” White Sox RHP Jake Petricka, who is on the disabled list due to an upper-back strain, threw a bullpen session on the Tuesday off day and could come off the disabled list next week.

Royals: Alex Gordon, who had right wrist surgery in December, will likely be rested today.

to provide any comfort. I would cease all communication, but it would be difficult because the community we belong to includes many mutual friends.

Should I remain friends or just let him go? — Confused Web Reader Dear Confused: Please let him go. Jay is not the love of your life. You have confused the excitement of your initial contact with love, but now you have seen Jay’s true charac-

Crystal goes retro on ‘Comedians’ Even Billy Crystal knows that a little Billy Crystal goes a long way. That’s why he’s smart enough to keep his part in the new comedy “The Comedians” (9 p.m., FX) to a certain minimum. Sometimes you find yourself wanting more.

Crystal, who made his notable sitcom debut in “Soap” in 1977, teams up with Josh Gad, a talent at the endearing heart of the shock-value musical comedy “The Book of Mormon” and a voice at the center of “Frozen,” the latest generationdefining animated musical to come from the Disney fantasy factory.

“The Comedians” offers what looks like a loosely scripted glance at the backstage shenanigans of a late-night sketch comedy starring Crystal and Gad as themselves. Many of the quieter scenes involve Stephnie Weir as Kristen Laybourne, the putupon producer charged with corralling the egos and insecurities of two professionally immature performers. Matt Oberg is Mitch Reed, the head comedy writer with the demeanor of an undertaker. Megan Ferguson flits in and out of the picture as a fetching young assistant who makes the most of Mitch’s obvious crush.

As backstage comedies go, “The Comedians” is closer to Showtime’s “Episodes” than “The Larry Sanders Show,” the real gold standard for this genre. But it certainly deserves mention in the same sentence with those two gems. And that’s no faint praise.

An irrepressible throwback, Crystal and his show trade in ancient humor about Jewish guilt, food issues and pastrami.

There’s a recurring crucifixion sight gag that’s so old-school its shock value may have come back in to style. And we’re continually reminded of Crystal’s less-than-successful movies as well as Gad’s turn in the quickly yanked NBC comedy “1600 Penn.”

Who knows if “The Comedians” will thrive? At the very least, it will be remembered as the show that introduced America to Stephnie Weir.

If you think you can remain part of the same Internet community and not pine over him, fine. Otherwise, please expand your online presence so you aren’t as dependent on this particular community of people.

Dear Annie: I dread going to my niece’s first baby shower. At the last one I went to that included our family, there were older mothers who proceeded to tell horror stories about labor and delivery. No one needs to hear the in-depth details of their birth process, and especially not a first-time mother.

Some people speak before they think. How can I politely get them to shut up? — Dreading Showers

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, April 9: This year you will go with the flow more easily than in years past. Others want to hear your ideas; they respect your intelligence and abilities. If you are single, you really will have your pick, but don’t settle. If you are attached, romance is intense and seems to build to a new high as the two of you bond even deeper.

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) Express your sense of humor, and others naturally will gravitate toward you. Tonight: Meet a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating helps you head in the direction you want. Express your thoughts to a trusted partner. Tonight: Where you want to be.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Defer to someone else on a project. Express your confidence in this person’s approach. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your ability to organize and delegate will determine your ability to clear out a project. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It might seem as if a muse has suddenly appeared, as you can’t stop creating. Tonight: All smiles.

Dear Showers: If someone should start replaying the details of their birth experience, it’s perfectly OK to say, in mock horror, “Heavens! Please don’t discuss that in front of all of us! A baby is a wonderful gift, and we all want ‘Suzie’ to look forward to the experience. I know you don’t mean to be so negative about it.”

They may insist they are only being informative, but new mothers are nervous enough without adding to their worries by relaying stories about what could possibly go wrong. Of course, some stories are funny or uplifting, and those should be encouraged.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel happiest at home. You can accomplish a lot in this setting. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out to someone whom you care a lot about. Sometimes you might feel overwhelmed when this person is around. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of the financial implications of a new idea or business venture. Tonight: A must appearance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be impossible to stop, as you’ll be full of great ideas and have the energy to make them realities. Tonight: Be a flirt if you want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You sense a lot of activity around you, but some information seems to be hidden or withheld.

Tonight: Be near good music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on what you want, and be aware of the role of a friendship in achieving this goal.

Tonight: Be where the crowds are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay on top of a situation that demands your guidance.

Remain sure of yourself. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Dear Annie: Eight months ago, I met the love of my life online.

Everything started off great. “Jay” and I chatted every day.

However, at one point, a past lover of his intervened and warned me about some of his “issues.” I became a little bit paranoid and asked Jay to explain his side of things. He didn’t want to at first, but he finally relented, and we continued on. I told him I loved him.

Three months ago, Jay decided there was no way we could be anything more than friends. I struggled with just being friends, but eventually, I accepted it. Now, Jay seems to be making more and more friends and is phasing me out.

One of my dearest friends died last week, and Jay hasn’t bothered
