ST. LOUIS — March Madness always helps to carry major-league baseball players through the dog days of spring training. They chase playing games that mean nothing with watching ones that mean everything.

“I’m a much bigger fan of college basketball than I am of baseball,” veteran Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim reliever LaTroy Hawkins said by phone from Arizona.

“When you play a sport, you usually like watching another sport better.”

Hawkins, who played against former NBA All-Star Glenn Robinson when they attended rival high schools in Gary, Ind., never has been a bigger fan of college basketball than he is right now.

When Kansas tips off at 9:17 p.m. or later today, Hawkins will be where he is every time Kansas University plays a basketball game he

His godson, emerging junior guard Elijah Johnson, has been KU’s best player two games into the NCAA Tournament.

Johnson, who has shot threes with a .517 accuracy rate the past five games, also made what so far ranks as the most daring play of the tournament.

“The alley-oop,” Hawkins said before a question about the play had been completed.

KU women bask in tournament’s sweet glow

It’s called the Sweet 16 for a reason.

Life itself seems candycoated these days for Kansas University’s women’s basketball team, a bracketbusting No. 11 seed still alive in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

The Jayhawks had fans cheering and sending them off Thursday afternoon as they left Allen Fieldhouse and headed for Des Moines, Iowa, site of their 11:04 a.m. Saturday regional semifinal against national powerhouse Tennessee.

Before boarding the team bus, junior point guard Angel Goodrich said the KU players love all the attention they’re getting following their upset

COMMENTARY

Goodell did just what he had to do

By Bill Dwyre Los Angeles Times

Let’s take a deep breath and hold off on the canonization of Roger Goodell. The puffs of white smoke coming out of the chimney are a bit much.

Yes, Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, slapped down the New Orleans Cheating Saints pretty good Wednesday. Somebody will make a T-shirt out of that soon. The big letters on the front: NOCS. On the back: a picture of Brett Favre, bleeding from the nose.

Goodell didn’t have a difficult decision. One of his teams was caught doing something really stupid and Neanderthal and then lied about it. Suspend the guy in charge for a year, do the same to the guy in charge of the guy in charge for six months, collect some cash and take away some draft choices.

Ohh, aah.

Goodell is paid seven figures.

He’s supposed to do this. Identify the creeps and run ’em off.

Do you suppose Pete Rozelle would have done any less?

Matter of fact, Rozelle might have headed this off before all the public hand-wringing and posturing were needed.

Paul Tagliabue? Who knows?

His lawyer-esqe obtuseness was impenetrable.

Let’s discuss two segments of the sports world that are affected by Goodell’s big day.

The New Orleans fans deserve better. Not from Goodell, from their team, for whom they spent their hard-earned money in an area still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and for whom their worship found new heights only possible in a crippled city craving distraction and heroes.

Shame on all you mindless, shallow jocks — and all you mindless, shallow coaches — who have now turned that 2010 Super Bowl into a sham and a bunch of question marks for your fans. What was the size of the bounty pot that day? Who got the biggest payoff? Was there a special pot donor? And how many of the New Orleans Cheating Saints did interviews the next few weeks about their foundations and good work?

And more: How many players participated in this? Why, with one of the best quarterbacks in league history in Drew Brees, would you even need to bother? Brees will win many of the games on his own.

Most important, how many knew?

That answer is easy. ALL OF THEM. Make book on it.

To see the Saints fans firsthand this year at the home playoff game against the Detroit Lions was especially revealing. Yes, it was a playoff game, but they had the entire area around the Superdome packed and locked up hours before the game. The revenue from all the Brees No. 9 jerseys in the crowd had to be enough to top the gross national product of a small island country.

New Orleans is a fun town, and these were fans having fun.

There were thousands of them, committed in heart, soul and pocketbook, to something that, as it turns out, cheated on them.

No, not for them. On them.

The proof of that will be the years it will take, after Goodell’s sanctions, to get back to where they were. Those who doubt that, google the words “SMU� and “Death Penalty.�

The second segment of the sports world worthy of this discussion is right here, LA LA Land, home of NFL arrogance and omission since 1995, after the departure of Al Davis and Georgia Frontiere. No Rams.

No Raiders. No nothing.

In the wake of the news Wednesday about the Saints, the questions must be put to both: Do you really want to spend all those millions to be in this club? Do you like guilt by association? And isn’t it kind of nice knowing, in the wake of this, that L.A. is an NFL-Free Zone?

Senate wants hearing to examine bounties WASHINGTON — The Senate wants to grill the NFL about bounties. And the NBA, NHL, NCAA and Major League Baseball are invited, too.

Sen. Dick Durbin is setting up a Judiciary Committee hearing about bounties in professional football and other major sports in the wake of news that New Orleans Saints players received extra cash for hits that hurt particular opponents.

The assistant Senate majority leader, an Illinois Democrat, said Thursday he wants to examine whether federal law should make such bounty systems a crime. “Let’s be real basic about it here. If this activity were taking place off of a sporting field, away from a court, nobody would have a second thought (about whether it’s wrong). ‘You mean, someone paid you to go out and hurt someone?’� Durbin said in a telephone interview before raising the issue on the floor of the Senate. “It goes way beyond the rules of any sporting contest, at least team contest, to intentionally inflict harm on another person for a financial reward,� he said.

His announcement came a day after the NFL took a harsh stand on bounties, suspending Saints head coach Sean Payton for all of next season and indefinitely banning their former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was barred for half of 2012, an assistant coach received a six-game ban, and the team also was docked two second-round draft picks and $500,000.

Wi, Dufner tied; Woods fires 69 ORLANDO, FLA. — Charlie Wi hit an 8-iron over the water to six feet for birdie on the 18th for a 6-under 66, giving him a share of the lead Friday with Jason Dufner in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Tiger Woods, a six-time champion at Bay Hill, shot a 69. There was nothing particularly special about his round, except for a 30-foot birdie putt that swirled around the cup at the 15th, and a couple of three-putt bogeys that kept his score from being lower.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland opened with a 3-over-par 75.

ATLANTA — With his 40th birthday approaching, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones announced Thursday he will retire after the season. Jones, who has spent his entire 18-year career with the Braves, battled a rash of injuries the past several seasons and actually decided to retire in 2010, only to change his mind.

NCAA WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT

Vols preach effort KNOXVILLE, TENN. (AP) — The Tennessee Lady Vols have been doing a little daydreaming during practice, and Pat Summitt says they better snap out of it.

With how quiet and distracted her Tennessee team have been while practicing for Saturday’s regional semifinals meeting with Kansas, coach Pat Summitt is concerned they may not get that opportunity.

“I think we’ve got to get them refocused,” Summitt said. “It’s obviously very important to all of us, and we recognize it and our players recognize it, but obviously our coaches have to hold people accountable, and that’s what we’re going to do.

“At this time of the year, you worry about everything as coaches,” she said.

Forward Glory Johnson and her fellow seniors are trying to do their part to hold the rest of their teammates accountable as well. Fifth-year senior Vicki Baugh is the only remaining member of Tennessee’s 2008 national championship team, and the other four seniors are looking to avoid becoming the first four-year class to leave the program without a trip to the Final Four.

KU women CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“It’s a great time to be able to play this far (into the postseason),” Sutherland said. “Other teams are done playing, and we’re still able to play and show our skills and have the nation look at us.”

Still in the hunt for the 2012 national championship, along with KU (2112) and Tennessee, are Baylor (36-0) and Georgia Tech (26-8) in the Des Moines regional. Stanford (33-1), South Carolina (259), St. John’s (24-9) and Duke (26-5) are playing at the Fresno, Calif., regional. Notre Dame (323), St. Bonaventure (31-3), Texas A&M (24-10) and Maryland (30-4) remain in the Raleigh, N.C., regional.

Connecticut (31-4), Penn State (26-6), Gonzaga (285) and Kentucky (27-6) will play in the Kingston, R.I., regional.

Of all the teams to make the Sweet 16, Kansas is tied with Gonzaga for the lowest seed and has the most losses.

Henrickson said her team has been “workman-like” since losing senior forward and captain Carolyn Davis to a season-ending ACL tear Feb. 12. But she doesn’t want the players to be satisfied with what they’ve been

TENNESSEE FORWARD GLORY JOHNSON (25) LISTENS to forward Vicki Baugh during a second-round NCAA Tournament game against DePaul on Monday in Rosemont, Ill. The Lady Vols vowed at the beginning of the season to play for the championship this year, both in an effort to change their legacy from one that marks them as underachievers and to honor Summitt, who announced in August she’d been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type.

So far, they’re on the right track.

Tennessee (26-8) cruised through the Southeastern Conference tournament and then pulled away in the second half of a 72-49 win over TennesseeMartin — Summitt’s alma mater — in Chicago in the opening round of the tour-

nament. Senior forward Shekinna Stricklen, Baugh and Johnson all had big contributions in the Lady Vols’ 63-48 win over DePaul on Monday night.

They also know they could be primed for an upset in drawing No. 11 seed Kansas as their Sweet Sixteen opponent.

“We’re not taking KU for granted,” Stricklen said. “They’re a great team. If you don’t win, you can’t get to Baylor, so this game is more important.”

Against Kansas, Summitt and her assistants are expecting a better all-around effort defending, rebounding and taking control of the ball than they’ve seen so far.

able to accomplish in the first two rounds.

“I always say, ‘If what you did yesterday still looks good today, you haven’t done much today,’” the coach related.

Living in the past shouldn’t be an issue for KU, given the mind-set of the players. Goodrich said even going to practice is exciting at this point in the season, and it was hard to believe that this team became just the third in program history to win two games in the NCAA Tournament.

“I don’t think nobody expected this,” Goodrich said. “Making it to the Sweet 16 is unbelievable for us, and right now we’re just wanting to win.”

Kansas has never advanced farther than this point in the tournament, and neither has Henrickson, who coached Virginia Tech to a Sweet 16 appearance in 1999.

Tennessee, meanwhile, has reached the Sweet 16 30 times in legendary coach Pat Summitt’s 38 seasons. The Vols have won eight national championships, the most recent coming in 2008.

Henrickson said KU’s players know how tough it will be to beat Tennessee and keep their season going.

“I think they’re really excited,” Henrickson said, “and with great respect, understand the challenge we have Saturday morning.”

KU MEN’S GOLF

McClure tied in 7th at Desert Shootout J-W Staff Reports

GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Kansas University freshman golfer Dylan McClure carded a 4-under 68 to tie for seventh place after the first day of the Desert Shootout on Thursday.

The KU men’s golf team sits in sixth place.

“Dylan got off to a great start,” Kansas coach Kit Grove said. “ ... He was off to the races after he birdied four of his first five holes. On the back nine, he made a bunch of pars and a bogey, but he birdied the last one, so that was good.”

Other Jayhawks who played on Thursday were Chris Gilbert (1-under 71), Alex Gutesha (1-over 73) and Paul Harris (1-over 73).

Kansas will begin the second day of the tournament at 10:15 a.m. today.

The three-day Shootout will conclude Saturday.

KU VS. N.C. STATE

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Jayhawks big fans of women’s team, too

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — If Kansas University’s basketball team wins tonight against North Carolina State in the Edward Jones Dome, it will spend the entire weekend in St. Louis. But for two hours Saturday, the players’ hearts will be in Des Moines, Iowa, rooting for their female counterparts, Angel and the Miracles.

Angel Goodrich, the KU women’s basketball team’s 5-foot-4 junior point guard, led the 11th-seeded Jayhawks into the Sweet 16 with a pair of upsets. She scored 20

points in the Nebraska game and 27 points in the shocker against Delaware.

“Our girls are playing good right now,” junior power forward Thomas Robinson said. “They’re playing with a lot of confidence, and that’s all you need at this time of year.”

Asked for his thoughts on Goodrich, Robinson said, “I’ve been thinking (for a long time), ‘Angel’s amazing, man.’ She’s good.

She’s a great player.”

Point guard Tyshawn Taylor has nearly a foot on Goodrich, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t learn from her.

“Love Angel’s game,” Taylor said. “Love Angel’s game, man. Every time I watch her, I take some stuff out of her game.

She’s got look-away passes. She’s nice, real nice, man. I’ve been watching her for three years now, and I’m impressed. I’m really impressed with her game.”

Junior guard Elijah Johnson used the same word as Taylor to describe Goodrich’s game.

“I think Angel’s nice, honestly,” Johnson said.

“I said that when I first got here. We were in the gym my first day on

campus. We were in the gym shooting, and I was watching her, and I always thought she was nice. She went through some injuries, and she stuck it out.

“I think she could play with us. If she needed to come practice with us, I think she could do it. I’m not blowing smoke. I honestly think she can come practice with us. She’s tough. I like her.”

Junior Travis Releford watched the Delaware game in his room, and he laughed when asked if any particular player had impressed him.

“Of course, I mean, An-

gel,” Releford said. “Everybody would say that.

She stole the show. And getting a win on top of it was great.”

Center Jeff Withey watched the game and said he wished their busy schedules allowed for catching more of the women’s games.

“Angel was great against Delaware,” Withey said.

“Stealing the ball, passing.

Aishah (Sutherland, the team’s lone senior) also played awesome. They’ve been struck by injuries all season. For them to still be able to win games like they are, it just shows how tough

they are. ... They have such a young team. It just shows how good they are going to be in the future.”

Goodrich scores buckets on drives to the hoop against far taller players.

Could she score on the 7-foot Withey?

“I don’t know,” Withey said. “She’s awfully good, but I pride myself on blocking shots, so I don’t know.”

The women tip off against perennial powerhouse Tennessee at 11 a.m.

Saturday on ESPN. O For more on some of the KU women’s other fans, see page 1B

NOTEBOOK Nice dunk About 2,000 fans attended KU’s afternoon shootaround at Edward Jones Dome. Highlight was Tyshawn Taylor throwing the ball off the shot clock to a trailing Justin Wesley, who slammed for the fans to conclude the action.

T-Rob says KU’s Thomas Robinson on his motivation last summer:“Me proving to people outside of Kansas’ program that I am a good player, that I felt like I deserved to be named among the top players of the country.

Distractions Travis Releford and Robinson on distractions during the tourney: Releford: “I would just have to say our family, maybe.

Because they probably are the biggest distraction right now, worried about tickets and telling us to do things that we haven’t been doing like throughout the season. So maybe them and our friends. We keep them out the way and stay in our circle, our team, and coaches, and just do what we have been doing to get here. We should be fine.”

Robinson: “Everybody thinks they’re coach (Bill) Self this year, so we get all kinds of crazy texts and people telling you what to do. So we just try to stay away from it and stay within ourselves, and we can put them off for a couple more weeks.”

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF REACHES HIGH TO SIGN A FEW MORE AUTOGRAPHS before leaving the court during a day of news conferences and practices Thursday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. KU will meet N.C. State in a Sweet 16 game at 9:17 tonight.

the first time I played in this tournament, really (after not playing much as a sophomore). To get that monkey off my back feels really good. I’m excited we got past that round. I feel now we can really get comfortable and start playing.”

Withey said it’s only natural a No. 2 seed such as KU (29-6) would feel jitters going against a No. 15 seed in Detroit and No. 10 in Purdue.

“You don’t want to be the team that gets upset,” Withey said. “This weekend, everybody can play.

We will have fun with it and kind of let loose.

“After the game last weekend, coach (Bill) Self mentioned that every great team has to have a win like that,” he added of Self on upsets the narrow, come-from“I don’t think there’s behind win over Purdue. really any upsets this time “The last couple years, we of year, like a lot of the sofell short.

They can jump out of the gym and are really fast.”

Of the challenge of going against 209-pound sophomore Leslie, the 6-10, 237-pound Robinson said: “I need to be aggressive from the jump ball.

He’s athletic so I’ve definitely got to use that to my advantage, the fact that he is an athlete, probably one of the best I’m going to face the whole year.”

Self is wary of junior Howell and Leslie.

“It’s more traditional because they will play two bigs,” Self said. “Their bigs are really quick. They can

catch the ball at 17-feet and put it down and drive it, or they can make shots.

They are not traditional bigs, but at least they are bigs. We can play more traditional than we had to against Purdue when we had Thomas guarding their two guards for the majority of the game.”

N.C. State has scoring balance. Point guard Lorenzo Brown averages 12.8 ppg (231 assists, 116 turnovers), three-point bomber Scott Wood 12.4 ppg (93 of 223 threes for 41.7 percent) and senior guard C.J. Williams 10.6 ppg.

Guard battle could be key

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — The battle between North Carolina State big man C.J. Leslie and Kansas University power forward Thomas Robinson in tonight’s Sweet 16 game at the Edward Jones Dome will be one of the most-watched individual duels of the tournament.

But a few inches lower and 15-20 feet farther away from the basket, there’s another head-to-head matchup that could go a long way toward determining which team advances to the Elite Eight on Sunday.

KU senior Tyshawn Taylor, 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, and N.C. State sophomore Lorenzo Brown, 6-5, 186, play point guard for their respective teams. And it’s each man’s goal to make life miserable for the other.

“I think that’s gonna be a huge match-up,” KU senior Conner Teahan said.

“If you can take a point guard out of a game, you take a team out of a game really quick, and that’s something we put a lot of emphasis on. Tyshawn, when he’s locked in defensively, can do that.”

Throughout most of the season, Taylor and Brown have used their height and length as an advantage against the multitude of

NORTH CAROLINA STATE COACH MARK GOTTFRIED DIRECTS HIS PLAYERS during practice at the Edward Jones Dome. smaller — and sometimes quicker — guards that have dug in across from them. Staring into a mirror of sorts figures to be different for both.

“I’ve been playing against guards that are all smaller than me this year,” Taylor said. “So that’s gonna be something that’s new for me personally.”

While neither player is a completely refined point guard, both are the catalysts that make their teams go. Brown enters the game averaging 12.8 points, 6.4 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. It’s his size that allows him to contribute in so many areas, something Taylor (16.9, 4.7, 1.9) knows all about.

“I mean, he’s 6-5, and he plays point guard,” N.C. State junior Richard Howell said of his teammate. “I feel like that’s one of the biggest strengths in the world.”

It was not always that way for Brown. A season ago, during the Wolfpack’s largely disappointing 1516 season, Brown played shooting guard. It was a struggle. In 26 starts, he shot just 41 percent, averaged 9 points per game and seemed to play a role that teammates described as “out of place.”

“I’ve always felt like he was a point guard,” said 6-5 C.J. Williams, Brown’s backcourt-mate.

“I’ve known Lorenzo since high school, and he always

played point guard, he just hit a growth spurt so people tried to slide him over. But I feel like he’s a better point guard than he is a two guard.”

That certainly has shown this postseason, as Brown averaged 15 points and eight assists during his team’s upset victories over No. 6 seed San Diego State and No. 3 seed Georgetown last week in Columbus, Ohio.

With second-seeded Kansas (29-6) standing in his way of the Midwest regional final, Brown knows he needs to continue his steady play if the Wolfpack (24-12) hope to pull off another upset.

“I guess me and Tyshawn’s roles are controlling the teams,” Brown said. “It’s going to be a great challenge, but just having a team like this supporting me will help me out a lot.”

As far as his teammates are concerned, Brown’s the guy they want leading them.

“I’ve been around Lorenzo Brown almost all my life, and I’ve never, ever, seen pressure get to him,” Howell said. “He’s one of the calmest, most laid-back, coolest dudes I know. Pressure is just another word to him. It’s a great match-up. That’s two of the country’s best guards going at it, and it’s definitely going to be a hard-fought battle.”

N.C. STATE NOTEBOOK

Wolfpack insist they’re not ’dogs

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — There was some discrepancy about whether 11th-seeded North Carolina State actually is the underdog in this one. Some of it even came from the same place.

Talking with reporters in the N.C. State locker room, sophomore point guard Lorenzo Brown talked up his surging squad.

“I think we have a great team,” Brown said. “And it’s hard to call our team underdogs with the way we’re playing right now.”

A few minutes later, when seated at the podium in the interview room, Brown crossed over just a bit.

“People are going to talk,” he said. “I think we are a Cinderella team.

Nobody expected us to be here, and we just keep believing in ourselves that we’re going to make it to at least the Final Four.”

While Brown had trouble making up his mind, Kansas University guard Tyshawn Taylor and N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried did not.

“I think if you put yourself in that frame of mind where you’re playing with house money, I just don’t know that you value it as much,” Gottfried said. “I think our team feels like we have earned the right to be here, just like anybody else. And we certainly feel like we belong.”

“Oh, God. It was just so late in the game. Tyshawn had leg issues the game before.”

With a voice again gripped by the stress of the moment, as if he were watching the play for the first time instead of in his head, Hawkins shared his thoughts from the instant the ball left his godson’s hands and started its path toward the hoop with Tyshawn Taylor as the intended receiver.

“Can he go up and get it? Can he go up and get it?” he recounted.

“Tyshawn went up and got it. Each knows what

Roy still fan of Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — Roy Williams, who has 61-year-old knees, takes a daily walk, instead of a jog these days.

Thursday, the ninth-year University of North Carolina basketball coach who coached the previous 15 years at Kansas University crossed the path of a KU fan during his morning stroll.

“This guy says, ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk.’ And you know what I said: ‘Go KU,’” Williams said Thursday at the Edward Jones Dome.

His Tar Heels will meet Ohio at 6:47 p.m. today, with the winner meeting either KU or North Carolina State on Sunday.

“OK. And he walked about three or four steps, and he says, ‘Damn, that was Roy,’” Williams added. “That is the way I feel about it. I’ll be ecstatic if we are still playing on Sunday regardless of who we are playing. And I’m a Kansas fan. I’m a North Carolina fan first. For 15 years, I was a North Carolina fan, but I was a Kansas fan first. And I’m interested in what is going to happen tomorrow (vs. Ohio).

That is taking every ounce of my energy, every ounce of my concentration, and that’s what we are trying to work on.”

Williams, who attended North Carolina and apprenticed under KU grad and UNC coaching legend Dean Smith, said: “I’m really being truthful. I love the University of Kansas. My first chancellor at North Carolina (James Moeser) said it’s not immoral to love two institutions, and I think there’s some truth to that. OK. I love Kansas.”

Americans do their thing,” Haase said. “It would get a little better, a little bit worse. Toward the end, it got really bad. I had a cortisone shot right before the Sweet 16. It went south. That was the end of that.”

In fact, Haase was rendered helpless in KU’s Sweet 16 loss to Arizona.

“It’s the Haase toughest loss I ever had, certainly one of the low points of my life,” Haase said.

Haase, who is in his ninth year on Williams’ UNC staff, and wife Mindy have three children: sons Gavin (51⁄2), Garrett (21⁄2) and newborn daughter Gabrielle.

O

Home-court advantage Asked if he felt that the Edward Jones Dome would resemble Allen Fieldhouse East during tonight’s Sweet 16 match-up, N.C. State junior Richard Howell said yes.

“It’s definitely a road game,” the 6-8 forward said. “I feel like we’re playing in their backyard.

And that’s an advantage to them. But we’re not gonna use that as an excuse.”

Hello, Mr. Johnson KU junior Elijah Johnson’s stellar performance in KU’s third-round victory against Purdue caught the attention of the N.C. State players. But that does not mean that the Wolfpack have obsessed over Johnson’s 18-point effort in KU’s three-point victory over the Boilermakers.

“I didn’t watch much of the Purdue game,” said N.C. State senior C.J. Williams, who will draw the assignment of guarding Johnson tonight. “But I’ve watched him pretty much the entire year. He’s good off the bounce. and he’s an extraordinary shooter so I just have to make sure

I don’t leave off of him. I think (he’s) one of their most underrated players.

When he really gets going, it’s tough for other teams to guard KU. So we kind of have to make sure he doesn’t get going.”

Respect for Kansas Gottfried obviously has a ton of respect for the Kansas program, as much for this year’s specific group of Jayhawks as for KU coach Bill Self’s overall track record.

“What I like when I watch their team is they just keep finding ways to win,” Gottfried said. “I think that’s a trademark of Bill’s teams. They have always done that.”

McGrath reflects: UNC assistant C.B. McGrath also is a former KU guard in his ninth year in Chapel Hill.

“The last 16 years of our lives we’ve spent basically every day together,” McGrath said. He and buddy Haase trade off every other year coaching UNC’s junior-varsity team, gaining head-coaching experience while also assisting Williams full-time.

“It’s a lot of fun working for coach Williams in a big program. We’ve got a nice life. With coach Williams, you get in a comfort zone.

We all work hard. We know what we have to do to be successful and keep him off our backs,” C.B. added, smiling.

the other is thinking now.

Each knows what the other is capable of doing and not capable of doing.

They have that little thing teammates should have.”

Hawkins’ Twitter avatar is a picture of him posing with the Jayhawk outside the student union. He was in Maui watching his godson and in Lawrence for the Oklahoma game.

“My wife, my daughter, my whole family, we’re Jayhawk fans,” Hawkins said. “It’s part of our daily lives. We were watching the women’s game against Delaware, and my daughter said, ‘Why aren’t you tweeting about the Lady Jayhawks?’ So I started tweeting about them heading to the Sweet 16.

Oh my God. Angel (Goodrich) went nuts.”

Johnson didn’t dominate in quite the same fashion as Goodrich, who scored 27 points, but he did make huge play after huge play in the final minutes of the 63-60 victory against Purdue in Omaha, Neb. He had 18 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and just one turnover in 38 minutes.

“It was a good game for Elijah to step up and show he’s ready,” Hawkins said. “Tyshawn’s graduating, going onto other things. Hopefully, this is coming-out party for Elijah. When you have a coming-out party like that, they expect it every night, day in and day out. They don’t care how you’re feeling, who you’re playing against. They

expect it day in and day out. You have to be up for the challenge.”

Early in the season, Johnson deferred to Thomas Robinson and Taylor.

Lately, he has become more assertive, picking his spots masterfully.

“Elijah kind of knows when he needs to step it up,” Hawkins said. “TRob was getting beat to a bloody pulp by those 6-8, 260-pound Purdue guys playing Big 10 basketball.

Tyshawn couldn’t find his rhythm. Elijah knew he needed to do a little more.

It was perfect timing for him to have his comingout party.”

In the first game, against Detroit Mercy, Johnson ran the point for all but the first couple of minutes of the second

half because Taylor was sidelined by leg cramps.

He looked as if he had been doing it all season on his way to a 15-point game in which he made three of four three-pointers.

“Cool, calm and collected,” Hawkins said of that one. “I was impressed with him maturing before our eyes, which is pretty cool.”

Johnson remembers spending the night at the relief pitcher’s house with his son and teammate, Dakari, and being driven to their games by him.

Hawkins remembers how Johnson treated his son.

“Elijah was 6, and my son was 4,” Hawkins said. “Elijah could do it all at 6. He already could use his left hand. And he would take the time to be

with my son to teach him things. He wouldn’t yell and scream at him when he couldn’t do things the way Elijah could do them.

You just don’t see that at that age. He’s a born leader, that’s for sure.”

Hawkins, younger than Elijah’s father, Marcus Johnson, remembers watching Marcus star in high school games and said, “That’s where Elijah gets his hops, from his dad.”

Hawkins and Elijah talk often, but usually more about life than basketball.

“He wraps up every conversation with me with, ‘Stay humble, stay focused,’” Johnson said.

KU basketball enthusiasts would add two more wishful words of advice for Johnson: Stay hot.

TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

No. 1 Michigan State falls to Louisville The Associated Press

West Regional No. 4 Louisville 57, No. 1 Michigan State 44 PHOENIX — Gorgui Dieng swatted away the West Region’s top seed to send Rick Pitino into another regional final.

Chane Behanan scored 15 points, and Dieng anchored Louisville’s stifling defense with seven blocked shots, helping the Cardinals knock off topseeded Michigan State Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals.

Louisville (29-9) smothered the NCAA Tournament’s best-shooting team with its matchup zone, getting good pressure from its guards up top and some big swats by Dieng, one of the nation’s top shot-blockers.

The Cardinals relied on three-point shooting in the first half and went inside the second to befuddle the Spartans, earning a trip to the West final against Florida on Saturday.

Michigan State (29-8) started slowly and never got going against Louisville’s amoebic defense, shooting 28 percent while being outscored 20-14 inside by the leaner Cardinals.

Dieng finished with five points, nine rebounds and had three steals. Peyton Siva overcame a rough shooting night — four points on 2-of-9 shooting — with nine assists.

Draymond Green had 13 points and 16 rebounds in his final game for Michigan State, and Brandon Wood added 14 points.

MICHIGAN STATE’S DRAYMOND GREEN (23) WALKS OFF THE COURT near the end of an NCAA Tournament West Regional semifinal against Louisville on Thursday in Phoenix. Louisville won, 57-44. with a meeting against his old boss, Rick Pitino, in the West Regional final.

The seventh-seeded Gators (26-10) expanded a six-point halftime lead to double digits, then held off third-seeded Marquette (27-8) to take their second straight trip to the regional final. Last year, they lost to Butler. This time, they meet Louisville and Pitino.

Beal, a freshman who has NBA written all over him, shot 8-for-10 and had six rebounds and four assists.

Marquette got 15 points from Jae Crowder and 14 from fellow senior Darius Johnson-Odom, but the Golden Eagles exited the tournament in the Round of 16 for the second straight year.

East Regional No. 1 Syracuse 64, No. 4 Wisconsin 63 BOSTON — Top-seeded Syracuse used a breakout game by the slumping C.J. Fair to advance to the East Regional final.

Wisconsin missed two potential winning shots in the final seconds, and the Orange hung on for the win to reach the Round of Eight for the first time since 2003, when they won their only national championship.

Fair, who had scored a total of 20 points in his last six games, finished with 15 on 7-for-9 shooting.

Kris Joseph, a 75 percent free-throw shooter, missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 18 seconds to go with Syracuse up by a point, giving the Badgers a chance at the victory.

Passing the ball around the perimeter of the zone but not creating much space, Jordan Taylor let go a threepoint attempt with three seconds left. It bounced off the rim, and Josh Gasser’s shot at the buzzer was off.

Jared Berggren and Taylor both had 17 points for the Badgers (26-10), who finished 14-of-27 from three-point range but couldn’t make one over the final six minutes.

Syracuse (34-2) plays Ohio State in the regional final Saturday.

No. 2 Ohio State 81, No. 6 Cincinnati 66 BOSTON — Deshaun Thomas scored 26 points, and Jared Sullinger had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead second-seeded Ohio State to a victory over No. 6 seed Cincinnati, putting the Buckeyes in the East Regional finals.

Aaron Craft added 11 points — all in the second half — with five assists and six steals, taking charge during a 17-1 second-half run that turned a four-point deficit into a double-digit lead.

Cashmere Wright scored 18, and Sean Kilpatrick had 15 for the Bearcats, who were attempting to match Big East rival Syracuse by beating a Big Ten opponent to advance to the round of eight. The topseeded Orange advanced earlier Thursday by beating fourth-seeded Wisconsin at the TD Garden.

Xavier’s Mark Lyons is a three-point threat, too, and Baylor’s short guards can be exploited on the perimeter.

No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 4 Indiana Time: 8:45 p.m.

The spread: Kentucky by 9 Records: Indiana 27-8, Kentucky 34-2 How they got here: Indiana beat No. 13 New Mexico State 79-66, beat No. 12 VCU 63-61. Kentucky beat No. 16 Western

Kentucky 81-66, beat No. 8 Iowa State 87-71.

The buzz: Indiana beat Kentucky, 73-72, on Dec. 10 on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Christian Watford, and UK has lost just once since. If IU is to pull the upset, it needs to hit its threes. The Hoosiers are second nationally in threepoint field-goal percentage at 43.7; UK allows foes to hit just 31.7 percent from beyond the arc. Both have stud freshmen centers in Cody Zeller at IU and Anthony Davis at Kentucky, but as good as Zeller has been this season, Davis has played at a different level, especially on defense. Davis had just seven points in the first meeting, and it would seem a priority to make sure he gets touches early in this one. IU generally rebounds

well, but can the Hoosiers keep the Wildcats off the offensive glass? If they can, they would be a huge plus. Indiana’s ballhandling also bears watching; the Hoosiers struggled against VCU’s attacking defense.

grace. The Heels are much bigger and should control the paint on both ends and the boards on both ends.

Ohio is not all that proficient from three-point range, but the Bobcats have to hit their threes if they’re going to win this. Keep an eye on Nick Kellogg, who hits 41.4 percent from beyond the arc. Ohio wants to keep this in the high 60s or low 70s.

No. 3 Baylor vs. No. 10 Xavier Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta TV: CBS Announcers: Jim Nantz play-by-play, Clark Kellogg analyst Time: 6:15 p.m. CDT The spread: Baylor by 6 Records: Baylor 29-7, Xavier 23-12 How they got here: Baylor beat No. 14 South Dakota State 68-60, beat No. 11 Colorado 80-63.

Xavier beat No. 7 Notre Dame 67-63, beat No. 15 Lehigh 70-58.

The buzz: A big question for Baylor always is whether its talented frontcourt is going to show up. Quincy Acy, Perry Jones III and Quincy Miller each average in double figures, but their lack of consistency is startling. Baylor enjoys a decided height advantage over Xavier, but the Musketeers are more physical. Xavier needs a big game from 7-footer Kenny Frease, who dominated Lehigh in the second round. Frease isn’t the most athletic big guy, but he can carve out space with his big body and could do some damage. The point guard matchup between Baylor’s Pierre Jackson and Xavier’s Tu Holloway should be excellent. Both can get into the lane at will and also hit the three-pointer. Baylor’s Brady Heslip knocked down nine threes in the win over Colorado, and when he

Records: North Carolina 31-5, Ohio 29-7.

How they got here: North Carolina beat No. 16 Vermont 77-58, beat No. 8 Creighton 87-73. Ohio beat No. 4 Michigan 65-60, beat No. 12 USF 62-56.

The buzz: The biggest storyline in this one, of course, is the health of UNC PG Kendall Marshall, who suffered a broken right wrist (his non-shooting hand) in Sunday’s win over Creighton. Truthfully, the Tar Heels should be able to win without him. But Ohio does a great job of forcing turnovers; the Bobcats force 17.2 per game, which is tied for fifth nationally. If Marshall plays or even if he doesn’t, expect the Bobcats to swarm in attempt to turn the Heels over. UNC’s frontcourt should be its saving

No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 11 N.C. State Time: 9:17 p.m.

The spread: Kansas by 8 Records: Kansas 29-6, North Carolina State 24-12 How they got here: Kansas beat No. 15 Detroit 65-50, beat No. 10 Purdue 63-60. NC State beat No. 6 San Diego State 79-65, beat No. 3 Georgetown 66-63.

The buzz: Kansas did not play all that well in beating Purdue, and the Jayhawks better bring more intensity in this one. N.C. State has played well of late, and offensive balance — five guys average in double figures — make State tough to defend.

Still, the Wolfpack can be lax defensively at times. Both teams generally control the boards, so the rebound battle will be important. Kansas could use some production from 7-footer Jeff Withey, who has been a relative non-entity (11 points, 11 rebounds) in the NCAAs. When he is offensive-minded, it’s make it that much tougher for opponents to focus on star F Thomas Robinson.

And keep an eye on Kansas G Tyshawn Taylor, who becomes too shot-happy at times. NCSU would much rather Taylor be shooting than Robinson. The Wolfpack need C Richard Howell to avoid fouls; State loses a lot of athleticism up front when he is on the bench. He has committed four fouls in each of the past five games, but hasn’t fouled out since Feb. 18, nine games ago. He has fouled out five times, and the Wolfpack have lost four of those. NCSU needs Scott Wood to hit some three-pointers; he is, by far, the Wolfpack’s best outside shooter.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 12A

Dear Annie: I have been best friends with “Lisa” for more than 25 years. We are both single. Her 16-year-old son, “Dean,” is friends with my 17-year-old son, “Jon.” I have begun to notice that Lisa is overly attached to Dean. When we go somewhere after work, she says she can’t stay because Dean wants her home. He’ll call or text that it’s time for her to leave, and she happily complies. She asks Dean for permission before going anywhere.

Jon has been accepted to a few out-of-state universities, and I am excited about him living on his own. Lisa, however, says she is going wherever Dean goes, and right now, he wants to join the Army.

She found a master’s program for the military that she can finish by the time he graduates, and she can then live wherever he’s stationed — for his entire military career. When I

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

jokingly said his future wife would love that, she replied, “Who says he’s getting married?”

I know it’s not my business, but I remember when one of Lisa’s boyfriends broke up with her.

I witnessed breakdowns, depression and stalking. I would not like to see her go through that again. Is it my place to say anything?

— Worried Friend Dear Worried: Lisa is an extreme helicopter parent, and it’s terribly unhealthy for the child.

And Dean knows he controls the relationship.

Cable’s flight from reason continues Series stars Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin spend a night in “lockdown” on “Ghost Adventures” (8 p.m., Travel Channel). This week takes them to Bisbee, Ariz., where they will explore stories of unexplained sightings and screams with “some of the most respected experts in the paranormal field.” As respected as you can get when masquerading as a scientist while celebrating the superstitious.

Speaking of superstitions, the History Channel’s H2 network offers up yet another whopper with “Ancient Aliens” (9 p.m.) titled “Aliens and Bigfoot”!

Over on the so-called Science Channel, “Alien Encounter” (7 p.m.,) offers a speculative look at visitors from space.

At least Gene Roddenberry, the focus of “Trek Nation” (8 p.m., Science), had the honesty to call his work science fiction.

The National Geographic Channel invites viewers to spend three hours inside insular religious communities. “The Devil’s Playground” (7 p.m.,) looks at the Amish practice of encouraging 16-year-olds to live in the outside world before deciding to devote their lives to adhering to the strictures of the faith. Later, “Amish: Out of the Order” (8 p.m.) visits with young people who have left the Amish community.

The new documentary “Only for God: Inside Hasidism” (9 p.m., National Geographic) takes viewers inside another small sect guided by very definite rules about religious devotion, clothing, behavior and submission — particularly for women.

While the Amish practice a particular form of German Christianity frozen somewhere in the 19th century, Hasidic communities date back several hundred years to Eastern European Jews who sought to reinvigorate the faith with a daily commitment to bridging the gap between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine.

The guys dish about each other and discuss behind- thecamera intrigue on “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery). The same filler can be found on a “Bering Sea Gold” (9 p.m., Discovery) installment called “After the Dredge 1.”

Tonight’s other highlights

NCAA Basketball Tournament action includes Xavier vs.

Baylor (6 p.m., CBS); Ohio vs.

North Carolina (6:15 p.m., TBS); Indiana vs. Kentucky (8:30 p.m., CBS); and North Carolina State vs. Kansas (9 p.m., TBS).

BIRTHDAYS

Comedian Marty Allen is 90. Sir Roger Bannister, who broke the 4-minute mile in 1954, is 83. Motorsports Hall of Famer Craig Breedlove is 75. Singer-producer Ric Ocasek is 63. Singer Chaka Khan is 59. Actress Amanda Plummer is 55. Actress Catherine Keener is 53. Actress Hope Davis is 48.

Actor Richard Grieco is 47. Actress Michelle Monaghan is 36. Actress Keri Russell is 36. Gossip columnist-blogger Perez Hilton is 34.

We know it’s not Lisa’s intention to stunt Dean’s development out of selfishness and possessiveness. It’s OK to talk to her about a child’s need to become independent and how parents should not deprive the child of this progress toward maturity. But the two of them are rather enmeshed right now, and there’s not much you can do. We hope Lisa finds the perspective to realize the emotional damage she could do to their relationship.

Dear Annie: I cannot believe the gall of some of the retired people in my area. Some old guy actually tried to muscle his way in front of me in the grocery checkout line today. My items were already on the belt, and the people in front of me were paying when I looked up and this old guy behind me says, “I’m just going to go in front of you” — not “May I?”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, March 23: This year, true to Aries’ standard behavior, you will decide to buck the status quo. You also could become involved in a political commitment or organization, and take a stand. I If you are attached, you are creative and fiery. You could steal the scene from your sweetie without intending to.

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) Stay upbeat, but maintain decorum with a testy boss, parent or friend. The fallout that could erupt otherwise might not be worth it. Tonight: Only what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Much is going on behind the scenes. You might sense some of the energy. Establish communication with certain supporters who also might be feeling the same.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could think that your first impression might be off if you listen to others, but it is right-on. Don’t share what you are sensing with everyone. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have a take-charge attitude right now, especially with groups. Open up to new possibilities with an eye to clearing out an obstruction. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You could be confused by what comes out, at first.

Step back, and you will see a situation differently. Tonight: Follow the music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to do

jacquelinebigar.com

something in a very different manner.

Be aware that you could shock someone with your change. A little discussion and some warning would help.

Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to others. Recognize that you cannot always have control as you might like. Know when to pull back and let the cards fall as they may. Tonight: You might want to drop in on a party and also do something else. You can squeeze it all in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Honor a change or difficult situation, as you are dealing with many controlling people. You might want to back out gracefully.

Tonight: Out with a pal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let your creativity emerge, as it has not for a long time. You will add a sense of happiness and possibility to a situation.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could shake up the status quo with ease. You might not see the changes in yourself just yet, but others can feel the difference.

Tonight: You don’t have to go far.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will speak your mind and be heard, whether someone wants to hear it or not. Your ability to get past a problem amazes others. Tonight: Visit with friends over munchies.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You cannot put off a decision any longer. Finances factor in.

Before doing anything, open up and share what you are feeling. Tonight: Let go of problems.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

PLACES TO RETIRE By Joyce Manning

3/23

or “Would you mind?”

Just because you are retired or old does not give you the right to do whatever you want. I was on my lunch break.

My time is just as important as yours, and you probably have more of it than I do. You should be offering to let the working people of the world go in front of you. After all, we support your butt by paying Social Security taxes — something that probably won’t exist when I retire. — Hermitage, Pa. Dear Hermitage: Retired people have already worked hard and paid their share of taxes, so let’s not get into that argument. Here’s our best suggestion: No one should be rude to others or expect to jump the ACROSS line.

2nd officer in tickets case out of a job Sgt. had once worked in office of professional accountability

By George Diepenbrock and Chad Lawhorn gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com; clawhorn@ljworld.com

The second Lawrence police officer who was suspended related to an internal traffic ticket-fixing investigation is no longer employed with the city, Police Chief Tarik Khatib said Thursday.

“As this still is a personnel matter, we will not identify the person or comment further,” Khatib said.

But City Manager David Corliss did confirm, when asked by the Journal-World, that Sgt. Michael Monroe was no longer employed by the city of Lawrence.

Monroe left the city’s employment Wednesday. Corliss declined to comment on whether Monroe was the second Lawrence police officer suspended in connection with the ticket-fixing investigation. Corliss did not provide any details about Monroe’s departure from the city,

where he had been employed in the Police Department since 1991.

“This is still a personnel matter that’s being handled through the city’s personnel procedures,” Monroe told the Journal-World Please see OFFICER, page 5B

The painting “Bloody Dawn” by Ernst Ulmer

Painting of Quantrill’s Raid on sale for $30,000 ———

‘It just needs to be in Lawrence,’ former resident says of artwork

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

William Quantrill’s attack on Aug. 21, 1863, will forever be Lawrence’s Bloody Dawn, but now a well-known piece of artwork by the same name is looking for a new home.

Ernst Ulmer’s original oil on canvas painting — depicting a smoke-filled Massachusetts Street swarming with Quantrill’s raiders — is now being offered for $30,000 at a Kansas City art gallery, and the art broker is working to convince community leaders the piece ought to land in Lawrence.

“I want it to be in Lawrence,” said Kathy Drungilas, a former Lawrence resident who is handling the sale for the Buttonwood Art Space. “It just needs to be in Lawrence. The old Eldridge Hotel is in the picture. Anybody from Lawrence knows exactly where they are on Mass. Street.”

Drungilas said the painting, which is 4 feet by 6 feet, deserves a fitting home. Shortly following Ulmer’s death in 2009, “Bloody Dawn” and many of his works have been on display at the Kansas City Club — as in Kansas City, Mo. “I love that it is on exhibit, but I feel funny that it is on the Missouri side of the line,”

After the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s surprising 70-64 win over Delaware, 12-year-old Catherine Grosdidier called her 92-year-old grandmother from the arena in Little Rock, Ark. “Can you believe it?”

Catherine asked.

Helen Grosdidier, who took the late-night phone call, said she wasn’t sure if the 11th-seeded Jayhawks were going to be able to pull off a win.

“We’ve been so tickled,” she said of the team’s success.

“Tickl e d , ” “thrilled” and “shocked” have all been used by longtime KU women’s basketball fans to describe what it’s like to watch the team advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, something that hasn’t happened in more than a decade.

“We are so excited they are finally reaching this level of the post-season and are being rewarded for the hard work they put in all year,” said Connie Patterson. She was among fans at Allen Fieldhouse Thursday afternoon ready to cheer on the players as Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo they loaded the bus for CATHERINE GROSDIDIER, 12, and her grandmother, Helen GrosdidIer, 92, both of Eudora, are their Saturday morning big fans of the Kansas University women’s basketball team.

Catherine attended the games game in Des Moines, Iowa.

“This is historic. It’s in Little Rock, Ark., last week and will travel to Des Moines to watch KU play Tennessee at 11 a.m. Saturday. After the women’s win against Delaware on Tuesday, Catherine called her Please see KU WOMEN, page 2B grandmother to share the good news. Saturday’s game will be televised on ESPN.

Tonganoxie fan dresses for KU success on the court

By Shawn Linenberger

slinenberger@theworldco.info

Sarah Breuer was exhausted Sunday after her Jayhawks rallied for a thrilling victory against Purdue in the NCAA tournament.

After all, it was a fourshirt night for the Tonganoxie resident.

Breuer is a wee bit superstitious when it comes to KU basketball. Trusty shirts have varying levels of luck and so, on occasion, she’ll change out of one shirt and into another if KU is in a slump.

But against Purdue, she wore four different shirts during the course of the game. Oh, and two different pairs of pants, including Jayhawk sweatpants.

“That was the most shirts I’ve gone through in one game,” Breuer said.

“Usually I only switch it once and then I’m good. I didn’t get the right combination down.”

Breuer said she didn’t have superstitious tendencies until she started college on Mount Oread in 2000. She finished in 2006 with a pharmacy degree and the superstitious ways have stuck.

Her shirt repertoire grows each year with a new gameday shirt, but her mainstays are still in the wardrobe if she needs to resort to some old-school luck. She even has a KU shirt from 1989, that, upon further review, might have an uphill battle in the luck category.

That, after all, was the

an exciting time for KU,” said Lon Dormer who drove from Topeka with his wife, Mary, to wish the women well.

Jason Parker started watching the women’s team in elementary school while his mom worked the concession stands at Allen Fieldhouse.

At 26, he is getting a kick out of seeing Angel Goodrich’s name trending on Twitter and seeing the team on the home page of ESPN.com. A common occurrence for KU men’s basketball, the recognition is unheard of for the women, Parker said.

“As a fan I’m excited. I like seeing all the people talking about it on Twitter and Facebook” Parker said. “They are getting some of the attention and spotlight too.”

After leading scorer Carolyn Davis suffered a season-ending injury five weeks ago, many fans feared the team wouldn’t go far in the tournament,

would be broadcast on — gulp — CBS. Weather. com predicts rain Friday, but if the Jayhawks can get through that storm and defeat North Carolina State, the forecast calls for a sunny Sunday for the regional final game.

“I’m not crazy to think my shirts actually help, but it does kind of take the edge off,” she said. “And I’m doing something for my team. I’m not actually talented enough athletically to do something for my team.”

Breuer repeatedly stressed that she wasn’t crazy, but she plans to stick to her routines, which include a family gag order on smack talk when an archrival loses in advance of a KU game. Bad karma must be avoided.

Her children, Ruby, 2, and Evan, 1, also must be decked out in KU blue on game days, while her husband, Scott, abstains. He happens to be a K-State fan.

As the Jayhawks prepare for the Sweet 16, Breuer will be contemplating which shirt — or shirts — to wear.

She hopes the Jayhawks will keep on winning, but when asked for a prediction of how far KU will go, she declined to comment.

“I have hopes, but I don’t want to say them out loud,” she said.

You don’t want her to jinx the Jayhawks, do you?

year the NCAA placed KU on probation, banning the Jayhawks from the postseason tournament that year. KU hasn’t missed an NCAA tournament berth since.

“I didn’t realize what year it was until today,” Breuer said.

The superstitions aren’t limited to wardrobes. One of her sisters contends the Jayhawks tend to lose to orange-clad teams when CBS broadcasts those games, while a younger brother says KU loses NCAA tournament games on cloudy days.

The lone orange team in the tournament is Syracuse. If the Jayhawks were — Shawn Linenberger, news editor at to meet the Orange, it would be in the national The (Tonganoxie) Mirror, can be reached at (913)845-2222. semifinals in a game that if it even made it in at all.

“This really started out to be a great year. Our players really had a lot of talent and were getting the system and getting comfortable. So to have Carolyn get hurt was a real blow. Everyone that was the least bit involved was just crushed when that happened,” said Sarah Merriman, who cheers at all the home games and even travels to some of the away ones. “So to see these kids, particularly the freshmen, figure out how to play without Carolyn and step up and do what they’ve done is just really fantastic.”

Twelve-year-old Catherine was among those who hadn’t lost faith in the team after Davis’ injury.

“I did believe they would be in the tournament,” she said. “I was very excited when I first heard about it. I started screaming.”

Catherine’s passion for the team began after she attended KU coach Bonnie Henrickson’s basketball camps nearly six years ago. She liked watching the women play and was impressed

with how approachable they were.

“They are always very nice, fun to be around and will talk to you,” said Catherine, who one day hopes to play collegiate basketball.

The women’s trip to the Sweet 16 is the highlight of Catherine’s spring break.

At Tuesday’s game, she screamed so loud she lost her voice.

“I told my grandma they deserve to win after what they have been through,” Catherine said.

Catherine and her family will be heading to Des Monies to watch Saturday’s 11 a.m. game against No. 2 seed Tennessee.

Regardless of the outcome, loyal fans hope the team’s recent exposure will help fill the seats at next season’s home games. But it’s doubtful the team will find anyone to surpass the enthusiasm of Catherine.

“There is no one who loves them more than she does,” Helen Grosdidier said of her granddaughter.

“It’s been thrilling.”

Effect of Supreme Court ruling weighed locally

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Douglas County prosecutors and defense attorneys Thursday were still digesting new standards for criminal plea bargains one day after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that involved two cases.

Thursday morning in one Douglas County case, Eve Kemple, an assistant district attorney, told District Judge Michael Malone in open court she had made a plea offer to defendant Raymond C. Morgan in a 2010 Lawrence robbery case.

Morgan, 28, of Kansas City, Kan., told Malone in court he had received the plea offer and rejected it.

His defense attorney Jason Billam also explained in court he had printed an email from Kemple that outlined the plea offer and also gave Morgan a copy of his response to the offer.

Plea negotiations now come under constitutional scrutiny because a divid-

ed Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that convictions can be overturned if defense lawyers don’t adequately assist clients in deciding whether to accept such offers.

The rulings, which were 5-4 and crafted by Justice Anthony Kennedy, mean that criminal defense lawyers are now required to inform their clients of plea bargain offers, regardless of whether they think the client should accept them, and must give their clients good advice on whether to accept a plea bargain at all stages of prosecution. If they don’t, Kennedy said, they will run afoul of the Sixth Amendment guarantee that criminal defendants have a right to assistance of counsel.

Justice Antonin Scalia in dissent said plea bargaining is not “covered by the Sixth Amendment, which is concerned not with the fairness of bargaining but with the fairness of conviction.”

Kemple said Thursday the district attorney’s of-

fice would form a committee to closely examine the Supreme Court rulings.

“We’re going to try to have a discussion about what are things that we can do and what we can ask the court to do,” she said. “We’re in the investigative stages and trying to figure out the impact on our cases and on our victims.”

The main ramification for prosecutors appears to be if appellate courts overturn cases involving plea deals for ineffective assistance of defense counsel, prosecutors would likely then have to retry the cases.

Kemple said she was confident Billam had properly notified his client about the offer, but because the decisions came down one day earlier she wanted to mention the rejected plea offer so it would be in the court record.

Billam said in an interview he likely would begin to put more information about plea nego-

BRIEFLY Suspect arrested in recent car burglaries Lawrence police arrested a 35-year-old man Thursday morning as a suspect in recent vehicle burglaries in west Lawrence.

Kim Murphree, a police spokeswoman, said officers were called about 8 a.m.

Thursday to Saddlebrook Townhomes in the 600 block of Folks Road about a possible auto burglary.

Officers then located a man in the nearby parking lot of the Hy-Vee store matching the description of the suspect.

Police had also received a call 25 minutes earlier about a man walking down the street in the area.

Murphree said officers recovered from the suspect items taken from automobiles.

Several of the items were returned to victims, and police took the man to jail on two counts of vehicle burglary and two counts of theft.

Prosecutors are reviewing information to decide about filing formal charges.

Ex-mail carrier admits not delivering mail TOPEKA — A 77-year-old former mail carrier pleaded guilty to mail theft Thursday after prosecutors alleged she failed to deliver thousands of pieces of mail on her route in northeast Kansas.

Dixie Bontrager, of Whiting, faces a maximum $250,000 fine and up to five years of prison at her June 11 sentencing. Prosecutors recommended she get a more lenient sentence following a plea deal in federal court in Topeka.

Bontrager admitted that agents searched four inoperable vehicles on her property in 2010 after receiving an anonymous tip. Federal agents found 496 first-class items and 2,786 standard mail items dating back to 2002 that she failed to deliver.

Kobach voting plan gets new life

Study says lower state income taxes will lead to higher property, sales taxes

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — As Gov. Sam Brownback prods fellow Republicans to cut the state income tax, a study released Thursday says reducing that levy will probably lead to higher property and sales taxes and undermine funding for schools, roads and public safety.

“If Kansas gets rid of the income tax, the state will likely find itself

both raising other taxes on middleand lowincome families and making masBrownback sive cuts to vital services that will badly damage the state’s economy,” said Erica Williams, policy analyst and co-author of the report done by the nonpartisan

Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

The center’s report, released a day after much of Brownback’s tax plan advanced to a House-Senate conference committee, showed that states without an income tax have either sales or property taxes or both that are higher than states that levy an income tax.

For example, Kansas ranks 20th highest in percent of personal in-

come spent on property taxes, and 17th in sales tax, the study said. Additionally, Kansas’ sales tax ranking will fall lower if the rate is allowed to decrease next year, as current law states.

Texas, which doesn’t have an income tax, ranks 14th highest in property tax and 13th in sales tax, the study said.

TOPEKA — Less than a week ago, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s proposal to move up the date to require proof of citizenship for voter registration appeared dead.

In the Statehouse, this procedure is called a “gut and go.”

Opponents of Kobach’s proof of citizenship requirement are calling it a shady maneuver to sneak through controversial legislation.

Poison Control Center offers tips to help kids stay safe

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Last October, 2-yearold Davin Manly of Arkansas City, Kan., died from gastrointestinal bleeding after swallowing rust remover from a bottle that contained hydrofluoric acid.

His was one of more than 30,000 calls last year to the Poison Davin Control hotline at Kansas University Hospital.

“It’s such a lethal chemical,” said Daling McMoran, educational coordinator at KU Hospital’s Poison Control Center.

“It is very, very dangerous and it causes major problems even if you spill it on your hand.”

Davin’s family asked KU Hospital to share their story as part of the 50th anniversary of Poison Control Prevention Week in hopes of preventing similar poisonings.

According to SafeKids Kansas, about 100 children, ages 14 and under, die from unintentional poisonings nationwide each year. There were 14 deaths last year that came through KU Hospital’s Poison Control Center.

In 2010 — the latest data available — there were 224 Kansas deaths from accidental poisoning and exposure to noxious substances.

McMoran said poisons come in several forms such as gases, liquids, solids and sprays. There also are poisonous plants and critters.

“Pretty much everything out there in the right dose can be poisonous.”

Kobach CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3B

not only to undermine the will of the people and our Legislature, but to deceive all Kansans while subverting our legislative process altogether,” a statement from KanVote said.

Kobach denied the assertion.

“The gut and go is a very commonplace action. It is done all the time in the light of day,” he said.

Legislators enacted a law last year requiring people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, but that law doesn’t take effect until January.

Kobach wants to move the date to June 15, saying it should be in place ahead of the surge in registration during a presidential election year.

Kobach says the earlier date will prevent noncitizens from registering, reducing the chance of election fraud.

Critics, which include voting rights and advocacy groups, say election fraud in Kansas is nearly nonexistent and that by moving up the date, many people, especially the elderly, will be unable to get their birth certificates together in time to register for the August primaries.

Kobach’s bill passed the House last month, but it didn’t make it out of the Senate Elections Committee before a crucial deadline.

Kobach said the committee made a good-faith effort to consider the bill but ran out of time. By placing the contents of the House bill into a Senate bill, the Senate can now vote on it, he said.

“This is an acceptable alternative and it would allow each senator to vote on this issue,” he said.

— Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Leading causes McMoran said the No. 1 cause of poisonings is medication. Last year, 6,814 Kansas children under age 5 were exposed to some form of medication. McMoran said children often get hold of medications because they are easy to find: in bags, purses, drawers or on countertops.

The second-leading cause of poisonings are cosmetics: cologne, deodorant, shaving cream, toothpaste, soaps and facial cleansers.

“Think about what’s around the bathtub. Think about what’s around the sink. These things can be very toxic to a child,” McMoran said.

There were 1,987 Kansas children under age 5 who were exposed to cosmetics last year, followed by 1,582 children who were exposed to cleaning supplies — the third-leading cause of poisonings.

How it works KU Hospital’s Poison Control Center is part of the national Poison Control hotline — 800-2221222 and it serves Kansas.

The center works closely with hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which sees about 80 poisoning cases each year in its emergency department.

McMoran said 85 percent of the center’s calls are safely managed at home, which prevents trips to the ER. As far as treatment goes, he said there’s no cure-all. It depends on the quantity and exposure.

Prevention tips McMoran provides

more than 125 poison prevention programs across the state each year.

One of his tips — and he’s been thanked by parents who have used it — is to use a black marker and circle the dosage amount on medications so you don’t give a child too much or too little. Also, mark a line on bottles as medicine is given. The center often gets calls from frantic parents who say their child has consumed cough medicine or pills. One of the first questions the center will ask is: How much? McMoran said most parents have no idea. By marking the bottle they can give a better estimate.

Here are some other prevention tips from McMoran and SafeKids Kansas:

Keep chemicals and medications locked up and out of reach of children.

Turn on lights when taking medications at night to avoid taking the wrong medication.

Never set your purse or diaper bag within reach of children.

Keep chemicals and products in their original containers.

Pre-program your phone to speed dial the Poison Control Center hotline at 1-800-222-1222, and keep the number next to all phones in the house.

If your child is choking, having trouble breathing or having a seizure, call 911.

Discuss these precautions with grandparents and caregivers.

ranks fourth highest in property tax and No. 1 in sales tax. And South Dakota, which doesn’t have a state income tax, ranks 32nd in property taxes, and seventh in sales taxes.

Brownback and other supporters of cutting the state income tax, however, have argued that the plan will increase jobs and lure more businesses to Kansas. They say that growthoriented tax reform requires shifting taxes from income to consumption.

A key component of Brownback’s plan eliminates income tax on nonwage business income and could affect 191,000 filers.

The Brownback administration has called this a “unique and highly targeted strategy to make Kansas an incubator for innovation and a national center for entrepreneurship.”

But the center says this proposal would provide a tax break on what is called “pass-through” profits, which would benefit many large corporations and wealthy owners of large investment funds that have no employees. These large corporations are organized as partnerships, Subchapter S corporations and limited liability companies, the center said.

IRS data show the profits from pass-through entities and sole proprietorships represent about 8 percent of the Kansas personal income tax base, or $266 million. A $266 million loss of tax revenue is greater than the combined state appropriations for Kansas University and the KU Medical Center.

Legislative Democratic leaders say the hit could even be greater because businesses will reclassify their income to avoid taxes.

On Thursday, the Democrats bemoaned the fact that the Senate on Wednesday approved a massive tax-cutting bill af-

— Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka ter first voting it down.

“This bill would send our state to hell in a hand basket,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka.

All eight Democrats and 12 of the Senate’s 32 Republicans initially defeated the bill on a 20-20 vote.

But after Brownback’s office spoke with several Republicans, they moved to reconsider the vote and nine Republicans flipped to pass the bill.

The measure would reduce income tax rates,

tax from 6.3 cents per dollar to 5.7 cents per dollar next year. It would reduce tax revenue to the state by $3.7 billion over five years.

Such a tax cut would make it impossible to increase school funding, which has been cut over the past several years, Democrats said.

The House has passed a tax-cutting bill that contains some of the same provisions as the Senate bill. A House-Senate conference committee starts meeting Monday to work on differences between the proposals.

Underwood said the pursuit last for fewer than two minutes and did not exceed 40 mph. Officers were able to help the woman get out of the vehicle. She was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. A blood sample was taken and will be forwarded to prosecutors for a decision about formal charges.

when reached Thursday afternoon.

Monroe was promoted to sergeant in 2004, where he worked as a patrol supervisor until 2009. He later moved to the office of professional accountability. In 2011 he became a sergeant in the investigations division.

The second suspended officer had been an employee, but still on suspension, at the end of the day Wednesday. Corliss said on Thursday, to the best of his knowledge, the city no longer has any employees in the police department who are on suspension.

The city has not publicly identified the two officers who were suspended earlier this year after the FBI investigated allegations that speeding tickets were dismissed in exchange for KU basketball tickets.

The city confirmed Feb. 24 that Sgt. Matt Sarna had resigned his job that day and that a personnel investigation regarding Sarna was complete. But city of-

ficials would not confirm Sarna was linked to the ticket investigation.

With the departSarna ment since 1991, Sarna was a school resource officer for several years until 2008. After promotion to sergeant he was a patrol shift supervisor and in October 2010 became the department’s public affairs sergeant and media spokesman.

Last May, following an anonymous complaint, an internal investigation was launched, followed by a federal investigation, into allegations speeding tickets were dismissed.

The city has said the individual whose speeding tickets were dismissed was a former Kansas Athletics Inc. employee now serving time in federal prison for his role in the broader KU tickets-for-cash scandal.

A federal judge last year sentenced four former Kansas Athletics Inc. employees — Ben Kirtland, Rodney Jones, Charlette Blubaugh and Kassie Liebsch — and one depart-

City officials have said one police officer had a friendship dating to the late 1990s or early 2000s with the former athletics official who had access to basketball tickets. The officer received free, discounted or special access to athletic events over several years.

The KU official asked for help with various speeding tickets.

The officer who resigned Feb. 24 asked the second officer — who was no longer employed by the city Thursday — two or three times for help in fixing a ticket. The officer who helped “may have been the beneficiary of KU tickets through the first employee,” according to a Feb. 24 statement Khatib provided about the investigation. The other speeding tickets were fixed by asking officers who issued or were about to issue a ticket to void it

or not issue it, but those officers did not knowingly receive anything in return, Khatib said.

Corliss said Thursday that the city has not obtained any information since Feb. 24 that the scope and the number of officers involved in fixing speeding tickets had increased.

At the city’s request, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigated the case and decided against filing federal charges of bribery or other offenses, but Khatib said the conduct violated the city’s gratuity and solicitation policies. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson is reviewing the case as well to determine if the situation would effect any criminal cases in which the officers served as witnesses. Prosecutors would be required to notify defense attorneys of any potential exculpatory evidence.

Corliss has also ordered a review of city policy for tracking dismissed tickets.

Santorum’s best shot: Winning Iowa caucuses — again

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum is falling so far behind Mitt Romney in the race for Republican delegates that his best chance might be in states that voted weeks ago.

The chief rival to the front-running Romney, Santorum is trying to improve his lot in places like Iowa and Washington, where local caucuses were just the first step in determining delegates to the Republican National Convention. In those states and a few others, supporters are now preparing for county, congressional district and state conventions, where the campaigns hope to keep their delegates —

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum speaks to USAA employees during a campaign stop Thursday at USAA in San Antonio. and possibly poach some from other candidates.

Santorum’s delegate count could use a boost.

He trails Romney by 300 and would need to win 74 percent of the delegates in the remaining primaries to clinch the nomination

before the national convention in August. So far, Santorum is winning just 27 percent, according to the tally by The Associated Press.

But the former Pennsylvania senator’s campaign predicts that he will

significantly increase his delegate haul in caucus states, primarily at the expense of Romney.

“The Romney campaign likes to talk about how they have this superior organization in these caucus states and therefore they are going to perform well,” said John Yob, Santorum’s national delegate director.

“If you believe the Romney campaign’s spin that they have this superior organization, but yet they’re losing these contests, it must mean they have a deficient candidate who is unable to appeal to the base of the party.”

That assessment is simply laughable, Romney’s campaign says. And his backers question whether Santorum has a sufficient organization to compete in

Man ordered to face rape, battery trial

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A judge Thursday ordered a 26-year-old Lawrence man accused of molesting a female acquaintance to face a trial on rape and aggravated sexual battery charges.

The woman testified during a Thursday morning preliminary hearing that early on Dec. 31 she had fallen asleep next to the man in her bed at her residence in southern Lawrence.

She said later when she suddenly awoke the man was on top of her and that he went into the bathroom and tried to clean up around her when he returned.

“I woke up, and I didn’t know what was going on,” she said.

The woman acknowledged she did not notify Lawrence police until days later.

Officer Michael Ramsey testified Thursday that the woman came to the police station twice, on Jan. 2 and Jan. 4, and called the suspect from her phone while allowing officers to record the calls.

The woman told the defendant she was going to the doctor to take a pregnancy test to try to get him to explain what had happened, Ramsey said.

During one call the

woman told him she was sleeping and didn’t know what was going on, but the man told her he believed she was “good with it,” the officer said.

“He did say he regretted it. He was adamant he wanted to change his life,” Ramsey said. “And change what he had been doing, but he did not want to do that from a jail cell.”

The suspect in a later interview with police said he had fallen asleep in bed next to the woman, his friend, and believed it was a consensual sexual encounter.

Defense attorney Sarah Swain during the hearing accused police of trying to trick her client

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Supermarket chains Kroger Co. and Stop & Shop said Thursday they will join the growing list of store chains that will no longer sell beef that includes an additive with the unappetizing moniker “pink slime.”

Federal regulators say the ammonia-treated filler, known in the industry as “lean, finely textured beef,” meets food safety standards. But critics say the product could be unsafe and is an unappetizing example of industrialized food production.

The Kroger Co., the nation’s largest traditional grocer with 2,435 supermarkets in 31 states, also said it will stop buying the beef.

The chains joined Safeway, Supervalu and Food Lion, among others, who have said they won’t sell beef with the filler.

Jobless aid applications at lowest in 4 years

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment aid fell to a four-year low last week, bolstering the view that the job market is strengthening.

The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications dropped 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 348,000. That’s the lowest level since March 2008, just months into the Great Recession. The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, dipped to 355,000, matching a fouryear low.

Applications have steadily declined since last fall. The drop has coincided with the best three months of hiring in two years. From December through February, employers added an average of 245,000 jobs per month.

That’s pushed down the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years.

The report suggests that employers added a similar level of jobs this month.

This week’s figures cover the same week that the Labor Department surveys companies about hiring in March. Applications are slightly lower this week than in February’s survey week, which points to more job growth.

“U.S. employment growth looks to have continued in March at a respectable pace,” Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Separately, a measure of future U.S. economic activity rose for the fifth

straight month.

The Conference Board said that its index of leading economic indicators rose 0.7 percent in February, after a 0.2 percent rise the previous month.

The index is designed to anticipate economic conditions in the next three to six months. Most of its components have already been published.

Companies are hiring more because the economy is picking up. The economy grew at an annual rate of 3 percent in the final three months of last year. That was better than the 1.8 percent rate in the previous quarter.

Most economists expect growth will slow in the current quarter to below 2.5 percent, despite the pickup in hiring.

Consumers may be spending less because of rising gas prices and small pay increases. And slowing growth in China and a likely recession in Europe could drag on exports.

Still, growth should pick up later this year as rising job creation gives consumers more spending power.

Lee forecasts growth will accelerate to 2.9 percent in the final three months of this year, from 2.2 percent in the current quarter.

“If someone’s been out of work for a long time, and gets a job, they may not go out and spend all they earn,” she said.

“There’s a lag,” as they pay off debts and rebuild savings.

Many companies are gaining confidence that the economy is improving.

upcoming primaries while also trying to rally supporters in states that held caucuses weeks or months ago.

This weekend, for example, Louisiana holds its GOP primary on Saturday, the same day county conventions kick off in Washington state.

Romney leads the race for delegates with 563, including endorsements from Republican National

Committee members who automatically attend the convention and can support any candidate they choose. Santorum has 263 delegates, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has 135 and Texas Rep. Ron Paul has 50.

It takes 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination to take on President Barack Obama in the fall.

Several executives leave Komen DALLAS — At least five high-ranking executives with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity have resigned in the aftermath of the organization’s decision to eliminate its funding for Planned Parenthood.

The departures include three officials from Komen’s Dallas headquarters, as well as CEOs of affiliate groups in Oregon and New York City. Although some of the executives cited personal reasons, the resignations suggest that Komen is still in turmoil, even after restoring the money.

Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said she could not speak to individuals’ reasons for leaving but acknowledged the effects of the controversy among supporters.

“Obviously, we know some folks are upset. We’ve certainly seen that,” Aun said. “We know people have been upset by recent events, but most really do recognize the importance of our work.”

The resignations began about a month ago.

Soldier to be charged with murder in Afghan killings

By Lolita C. Baldor and Pauline Jelinek Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder, assault and a string of other offenses in the massacre of Afghan villagers as they slept, a U.S. official said Thursday.

The charges against Bales include 17 counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder and six counts of aggravated assault as well as dereliction of duty and other violations of military law, the official said on condition of anonymity because the charges had not been announced.

The 38-year-old soldier and father of two, who lives in Lake Tapps, Wash., will be charged with a shooting rampage in two villages near his southern Afghanistan military post in the early hours of March 11, gunning down nine Afghan children and eight adults and burning some of the

The charges are to be read to Bales today at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas where he has been held since being flown from Afghanistan last week.

He faces trial under the UniBales form Code of Military Justice.

Military authorities had originally said Bales was suspected in the killings of 16 Afghan villagers, nine children and seven adults.

They changed that Thursday to 17, raising the number of adults by one but without explaining how the change came about.

It’s possible some of the dead were buried before U.S. military officials arrived at the scene of the carnage. Six Afghans were wounded in the attack.

Bales’ civilian attorney, John Henry Browne, did not immediately respond to telephone and email

messages seeking comment on the charges.

The killings were yet another blow to U.S-Afghan relations, following a series of missteps, including the mistaken burning of Qurans, which prompted violent protests and revenge killings American troops in the war zone.

The brutal shooting rampage also prompted renewed debate in the United States about health care for the troops, who have experienced record suicide rates and high rates of post-traumatic stress and brain injuries during repeated deployments over a decade of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bales was on his fourth tour of duty, having served three tours in Iraq, where he suffered a head injury and a foot injury. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, of the 2nd Infantry Division, which is based at Joint Base LewisMcChord in Washington.

State disability funds going broke returns from Iraq and Afghanistan, about 20 states have shut down their special disability funds because of rising costs and others are teetering on insolvency, tearing holes in the safety net the funds were intended to provide.

Today, the federal government and some states are offering tax breaks to encourage businesses to hire returning veterans. But more than 675,000 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan have reported disabilities, and they are having a harder time getting jobs than their able-bodied, privatesector counterparts, said David Autry, a spokesman for Disabled American Veterans.

“We understand states

are strapped for cash, thanks to the economy,” Autry said. But “it would be a shame to just let these funds disappear.” The unemployment rate for veterans injured in Iraq and Afghanistan is 12.1 percent, compared with 9.5 percent for those without disabilities.

Since the recession, many businesses are cautious about extra costs related to employees, according to Chamber of Commerce officials.

“If you talk to businesses, they are more hesitant in making any type of investment at this point, including the hiring of people,” said Missouri chamber spokeswoman Karen Buschmann.

Etch A Sketch back in the picture thanks to Romney gaffe

By John Seewer Associated Press

TOLEDO, OHIO — Pushed to the bottom of the toy box by video games and other high-tech gadgets, Etch A Sketch is suddenly drawing lots of attention, thanks to a gaffe that has shaken up the race for the White House.

Ohio Art Co., maker of the classic baby boomer toy, is sending a big box of Etch A Sketches to the presidential campaigns to say thanks for the publicity and a boost in sales.

It all started when Mitt Romney strategist Eric Fehrnstrom was asked Wednesday about the candidate’s politics now versus next fall, and he likened the campaign to an Etch A Sketch: “You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”

Democrats and Republicans alike seized on the remark as evidence that Romney is a flip-flopper willing to alter his positions for political gain.

GOP rival Newt Gingrich told voters in Louisiana that “having an Etch A Sketch as your campaign model raises every doubt about where we’re going.” Rick San-

torum brandished an Etch A Sketch and told voters he is a candidate who stands “firmly on the rocks of freedom, not on the sands of an Etch A Sketch toy.” Santorum’s staff also handed out miniature Etch A Sketches to reporters.

While Romney’s opponents are hoping the remark will erase his momentum and reframe the debate, the biggest winner might be Ohio Art. Its stock, which trades over the counter, nearly tripled on Thursday, closing at $9.65, and major stores reported a jump in sales, said chairman Bill Killgallon.

“We’re proud that one of our products is shaking up the debate,” he said.

Ohio Art has sold more than 100 million Etch A Sketches worldwide since its introduction in 1960. The toy, with its familiar gray screen and bright-red frame, allows youngsters to draw things by twisting two white knobs. A quick shake erases the image and lets you start over.

Etch A Sketches were made in Ohio until 2000, when the company moved production to China because of increasing costs.

French standoff ends with terror suspect shot in head ————

Gunman had been on U.S. no-fly list since 2010

By Johanna Decorse and Sarah DiLorenzo

“

One can ask the Associated Press question whether there was a failure or TOULOUSE, FRANCE — Inspired by radical Islam not. We need to bring and trained in Afghani- some clarity to this.” stan, the gunman methodically killed French schoolchildren, a rabbi and paratroopers and faced down hundreds of police for 32 hours. Then he leapt out a window as he rained down gunfire and was fatally shot in the head.

France will not be the same after Mohamed Merah, whose deeds and death Thursday could change how authorities track terrorists, determine whether French Muslims face new stigmas and even influence who becomes the next French president.

The top priority for investigators now is determining whether Merah, who claimed allegiance to al-Qaida, was the kind of lone-wolf terrorist that intelligence agencies find particularly hard to trace, or part of a network of homegrown militants operating quietly in French housing projects, unbeknownst to police.

Either way, French authorities are facing difficult questions after acknowledging that Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent, had been under surveillance for years and that his travels to Afghanistan and Pakistan were known to French intelligence — yet he wasn’t stopped before he started his killing spree on March 11. Merah had been on a U.S. no-fly list since 2010.

“One can ask the question whether there was a failure or not,” French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Europe 1 radio. “We need to bring

— French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe some clarity to this.”

Three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers died in France’s worst Islamist terrorist violence since a wave of attacks in the 1990s by Algerian extremists.

Merah filmed all three attacks, Prosecutor Francois Molins said Thursday, and claimed to have posted them online.

“You killed my brother; I kill you,” he said in the video of the first attack, in which one French paratrooper died, Molins said.

“Allah Akbar,” (God is Great), he declared during the second, when two more soldiers were killed.

The prosecutor said Merah told police he wanted to “bring France to its knees.”

“While the facts concerning the three killings have been clearly elucidated, and Mohamed Merah carries full responsibility, the investigations are not finished,” he said.

Authorities are trying to determine whether Merah’s 29-year-old brother, Abdelkader, was involved, and are searching for accomplices who might have encouraged Merah to kill or furnished the means to do so, Molins said.

Merah espoused a radical form of Islam and had been to Afghanistan and the Pakistani militant stronghold of Waziristan, where he claimed to have received training

from al-Qaida. He also had a long record of petty crimes in France for which he served time in prison, and prosecutors said he started to radicalize behind bars.

Merah told negotiators he killed to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children and to protest the French army’s involvement in Afghanistan as well as France’ law against the Islamic face veil.

For the next day and a half, the police, the neighborhood and the nation waited.

Barricaded inside with no water, electricity or gas, Merah at first promised to surrender, but kept postponing the move. Finally, he declared he would not go without a fight, the prosecutor said. Police were determined to take him alive, and tried to wait him out.

Near midnight Wednesday, the detonations began, as police set off blasts to pressure him to emerge and blew the shutters off a window. Through the night they continued.

Merah stopped talking to negotiators, Interior Minister Claude Gueant said, and suspicions surfaced that the gunman could have committed suicide.

Then around 11:30 a.m., police commandoes moved in, entering through the door and windows, Gueant said. Merah was in the last room they checked: the bathroom.

He burst through the door firing a Colt .45, then jumped out a window “with a weapon in his hand, continuing to shoot,” Gueant said.

In the gunfight, he was shot in the head, Molins said. He said the police acted in self-defense after some 30 bullets had been fired.

2 officials step aside in teen death probe

By Kyle Hightower Associated Press

SANFORD, FLA.— The police chief who’s been bitterly criticized for not arresting a neighborhood watch volunteer in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager and the county prosecutor both left the case Thursday, with the chief saying that he is temporarily stepping down to let passions cool.

Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee’s decision came less than a day after city commissioners gave him a “no confidence” vote, and after a couple of weeks of protests and uproar on social media websites. Lee has said evidence in the case supported George Zimmerman’s assertion that the Feb. 26 shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was in self-defense.

“I do this in the hopes of restoring some semblance of calm to a city which has been in turmoil for several weeks,” Lee said.

About three hours later, Gov. Rick Scott announced that the local state attorney, Norman Wolfinger, had recused himself from the case. In

a letter to Scott, Wolfinger said that while he thought he could fairly oversee any prosecution that develops in the case, his recusal was aimed at “toning down the rhetoric and preserving the integrity of the investigation.”

Scott appointed Angela B. Corey, the state attorney for the Jacksonville area, to take over the case.

Scott also appointed a task force led by Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll to conduct hearings on the case and to make recommendations for any changes to state law or procedures. Carroll is African-American.

Martin was returning from a trip to a convenience store when Zimmerman started following him, telling police dispatchers he looked suspicious.

At some point, the two got into a fight and Zimmerman pulled out his gun.

Zimmerman told police Martin attacked him after he had given up on chasing the teenager and was returning to his sport utility vehicle. Police say the 28-year-old Zimmerman is white; his family says he’s Hispanic.

Assad in control after bloody year BEIRUT (AP) — As world leaders close ranks against Syrian leader Bashar Assad, the U.S. president summed up the popular wisdom during a recent White House press conference: “Ultimately, this dictator will fall.”

That prediction may be premature.

Regime forces have retaken the major opposition strongholds, the rebels are low on money and guns, and the U.N. has ruled out any military intervention of the type that tipped the scales against Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi. Relying on the scorched-earth tactics that have kept his family in power for more than 40 years, Assad is in no immediate danger of falling.

That does not mean the bloodshed is nearing an end. Syria’s rebels are turning to guerrilla tactics, such as roadside bombs and ambushes, and terrorist groups like alQaida appear to be entering the fray and exploiting the chaos.

Assad could hang on indefinitely while an already violent conflict metastasizes into an insurgency that lays waste to the country.

The U.N. estimates that more than 8,000 people have been killed since the uprising began a year ago in a grim cycle of attack and reprisal.

KPERS course The Kansas House has put forth some solid ideas about how to prop up the state’s pension system.

A

measure passed by the Kansas House this week may need some tuning up, but it proposes some positive steps toward shoring up the state’s pension system for teachers and government workers.

As did some other plans, the bill passed by the House would spell the end of the guaranteed benefit plan for new employees entering the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. Those employees would have to choose between a 401(k)-style plan and a guaranteed fixed-return plan.

The big difference in the House plan is that it sets a specific strategy to address a projected $8.3 billion gap between expected KPERS revenue and the benefits the state has promised to retirees through 2033. An amendment proposed

by House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, and accepted by the House would use a large portion of the revenue from three state-owned casinos to meet the state’s pension commitment.

A casino in Dodge City, along with two new casinos that have opened since the first of the year near Kansas City and Wichita, are expected to generate more than $80 million for the state in the fiscal year that begins July 1. The state already has dedicated $10.5 million of that money to boost engineering programs at state universities, and the House bill would commit three-fourths of the remaining money to KPERS. Although it’s hard to put a solid dollar amount on that revenue, Davis predicted it could produce several billion dollars over the next 20 years.

Although Kansans could think of many other positive ways to use that casino revenue, the state needs to make good on the promise it has made to retiring employees. To help rein in future costs for KPERS, it’s also reasonable for the state to make changes in the plan for new employees. Many private businesses offer 401(k) retirement plans, and that seems like a valid option for state employees.

The option of a fixed-return retirement savings plan needs further consideration.

The 5 percent annual return guaranteed in that plan is well above any current interest rate on insured savings accounts.

Legislators should have learned not to promise retirees more than the state can reasonably expect to financially support.

If the state wants to offer a guaranteedreturn plan, the plan’s earnings should be flexible and tied to some national economic measure such as the Consumer Price Index.

The Senate is continuing to work on its own KPERS plan. That plan is likely to include some different ideas, but the plan outlined by the House deserves serious consideration. It sets a solid plan for helping the state address the current KPERS shortfall as well as some valid options for putting the system on a firm footing for the future.

Health care act back at center stage WASHINGTON — Obamacare dominated the 2010 midterms, driving its Democratic authors to a historic electoral shellacking. But since then, the issue has slipped quietly underground.

Now it’s back, summoned to the national stage by the confluence of three disparate events: the release of new Congressional Budget Office cost estimates, the approach of Supreme Court hearings on the law’s constitutionality and the issuance of a compulsory contraception mandate.

Cost: Obamacare was carefully constructed to manipulate the standard 10-year cost projections of the CBO. Because benefits would not fully kick in for four years, President Obama could trumpet 10-year gross costs of less than $1 trillion — $938 billion to be exact.

But now that the nearcostless years 2010 and 2011 have elapsed, the true 10year price tag comes into focus. From 2013 through 2022, the CBO reports, the costs of Obamacare come to $1.76 trillion — almost twice the phony original number.

It gets worse. Annual gross costs after 2021 are more than a quarter of $1 trillion every year — until the end of time.

That, for a new entitlement in a country already drowning in $16 trillion of debt.

Constitutionality: Beginning March 26, the Supreme Court will hear challenges to the law. The American people, by an astonishing two-thirds majority, want the law and/or

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

If Obamacare is upheld, it fundamentally changes the nature of the American social contract.”

the individual mandate tossed out by the court. In practice, however, questions this momentous are generally decided 5 to 4, i.e., they depend on whatever side of the bed Justice Anthony Kennedy gets out of that morning.

Ultimately, the question will hinge on whether the Commerce Clause has any limits. If the federal government can compel a private citizen, under threat of a federally imposed penalty, to engage in a private contract with a private entity (to buy health insurance), is there anything the federal government cannot compel the citizen to do?

If Obamacare is upheld, it fundamentally changes the nature of the American social contract. It means the effective end of a government of enumerated powers — i.e., finite, delineated powers beyond which the government

may not go, beyond which lies the free realm of the people and their voluntary institutions. The new postObamacare dispensation is a central government of unlimited power from which citizen and civil society struggle to carve out and maintain spheres of autonomy.

Figure becomes ground; ground becomes figure. The stakes could not be higher.

Coerciveness: Serendipitously, the recently issued regulation on contraceptive coverage has allowed us to see exactly how this new power works. All institutions — excepting only churches, but not excepting church-run charities, hospitals, etc. — will be required to offer health care that must include free contraception, sterilization and drugs that cause abortion.

Consider the cascade of arbitrary bureaucratic decisions that resulted in this edict: 1. Contraception, sterilization and abortion pills are classified as medical prevention. On whose authority?

The secretary of health and human services, invoking the Institute of Medicine.

But surely categorizing pregnancy as a disease equivalent is a value decision, disguised as scientific. If contraception is prevention, what are fertility clinics? Disease inducers? And if contraception is prevention because it lessens morbidity and saves money, by that logic, mass sterilization would be the greatest boon to public health since the pasteurization of milk.

2. This type of prevention is free — no co-pay. Why? Is contraception morally superior to or more socially vital than — and thus more of a “right” than — penicillin for a child with pneumonia?

3. “Religious” exemptions to this edict extend only to churches, places where the faithful worship God, and not to church-run hospitals and charities, places where the faithful do God’s work. Who promulgated this definition, so subversive of the whole notion of godliness, so stunningly ignorant of the very idea of religious vocation?

The almighty HHS secretary.

Today, it’s the Catholic Church whose free-exercise powers are under assault from this cascade of diktats sanctioned by — indeed required by — Obamacare. Tomorrow it will be the turn of other institutions of civil society that dare stand between unfettered state and atomized citizen.

Rarely has one law so exemplified the worst of the Leviathan state — grotesque cost, questionable constitutionality and arbitrary bureaucratic coerciveness.

Little wonder the president barely mentioned it in his latest State of the Union address. He wants to be reelected. He’d rather talk about other things.

But there’s no escaping it now. Oral arguments begin Monday at 10 a.m.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 23, 1912: “A new sidewalk ordinance is YEARS due to make its appearance in AGO the city ordinance book in the IN 1912 near future .... One of the provisions wanted is one that will require all property owners who put in sidewalks to use cement, thus making all sidewalks of the city uniform in construction.... Other legislation was discussed. Councilman Broeker suggested that the city should have a building permit ordinance which would make it necessary for all persons desiring to build in the city to first secure a permit to do so.”

erbated it yet more as the Keystone XL pipeline would. Our children will pay dearly if this pipeline is built for the primary benefit of already vastly wealthy dirty energy interests.

The current levels of ongoing U.S. taxpayer-forced funding for dirty-energy subsidies shrinks public subsidies for clean energy efficiencies and renewable energy into insignificance, per the Rocky Mountain Institute among other very knowledgeable observers. It’s runaway capitalism at its worst, seriously ravaging the very environment upon which all economies are totally dependent.

Will you publicly speak out for reversing the massive tax subsidies’ imbalances away from planet-destructive dirty energy empires and instead placing the majority of public energy subsidies into energy efficiencies and clean solar and wind instead?

To the editor: Beginning with the Enlightenment (Age of Reason) of the 1700s, violence has been declining throughout much of the world.

The U.S. has been no exception, and since 1992, the homicide rate has declined by nearly 50 percent, to the lowest level since 1963. At the same time, physical abuse of children has declined by 56 percent. Even the number of deaths per 100,000 due to war is decreasing. Sure, there are spikes in violence, such as World War II and the U.S. homicide surge during the 1980s, but the overall, long-term trend is downward.

Harvard psychology professor Steven Pinker’s extensive research has identified this trend and he advances several reasons in his book “The Better Angels of Our Nature.” The primary one is our enhanced powers of reasoning that allow abstract reasoning. In all probability this positive trend will continue into the future, and we will all benefit from an ever-safer world.

This over-utilization of the health care delivery system would drive up costs for everyone paying into an insurance policy and for taxpayers who pay for Medicaid. The truth is that a prescription mandate is bad policy that hurts lawabiding Kansans. Our residents deserve balanced legislation to address meth production that targets criminals, not patients who depend on these medicines for relief from colds and allergy medicines.

Gas prices To the editor: The average national price for a gallon of regular gas in January 2009 was $1.84.

AAA just reported the national average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.83, more than a 100 percent increase.

Many are saying this has absolutely nothing to do with Obama, yet he and his energy secretary seem intent on chasing after alternative energy resources at the expense of traditional fossil fuels. When point blank asked if the goal was to reduce gas prices, Energy Secretary Chu summarily answered, “No.” So, how’s this working out for your wallet? Having a little pain at the pump? Keep on believing Obama wants to help out the middle class until your car is parked in the garage because you can’t afford to fill it up — and we’ve not seen the highest high of a gallon of gas---not even close.
