BRIEFLY Compost sale starts today Now that spring has arrived, the city of Lawrence is holding its annual compost and wood chip sale event today and Saturday. The sale will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the city’s compost facility, 1420 E. 11th St., rain or shine. City employees will load compost and wood chips for $10 cash per bucket load, or approximately two cubic yards. Small quantities that can be

self-loaded, including small bags and boxes, are free. The city asks those filling trucks to bring a tarp to ensure chips and compost doesn’t litter the roadways. Besides the Friday and Saturday sale, compost and wood chips are sold every Saturday from March through mid-December, self-load only, for $10 per truck or trailer.

plans

to open a 1,000job fulfillment center in the Johnson County city of Edgerton. Amazon announced Thursday that the hourly, full-time employees at the planned 800,000-square-foot center will pick, pack and ship large items to customers. Amazon already has operations in nearby Lenexa. Gov. Sam Brownback called the project “good news for Kansas.” It was not immediately clear how soon the Edgerton center would open.

1981. The school has eight teachers and 58 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Many of the students come from the reservation 6 miles south of the school. A substantial number of students come to school from Topeka, which is about a two-hour ride each way, said Debra Turner, Kickapoo Nation School superintendent. “The bus picks them up at 6 in the morning and then they get here by quarter to 8, and they don’t go home, we don’t dismiss school until 3:25. They get home when it’s dark and when they come it’s dark,” Turner said. Powhattan is a rural town in Brown County, smack dab in the middle of seemingly endless crop fields and ribbons of county-maintained roads that go for miles before you see another vehicle. According to the 2010 census, only 78 residents live here

and that’s not counting the chickens, goats and other livestock grazing in some of the front yards. But that number may be stretching it. “There’s not one person besides myself, and I have three teachers that live here; we provide teacher housing but other than (that) no one actually lives in the city of Powhattan,” Turner said. The Kickapoo Nation School, a modern brick structure, sits next to a chicken farm. The children arrive every morning to a rooster crowing. There are updated areas as well as some older parts inside the school. Walls are decorated with inspirational Native American posters with sayings like “Be Proud of Who You Are.” In the library, books are categorized by grade and by tribe. Shelves full of books marked with names like Nihara (Comanche) and Wintanto

(Miami). Diabetes is prevalent in the Native American community; that’s why the school cafeteria menu is full of fruits and vegetables. Nothing is processed. The bread is whole grain. The sugar is raw. Kids go back for seconds at the salad bar. The mission and the goal of Kickapoo Nation School is to not only educate the children but also help preserve the culture and language, Turner said. “It’s not even actually an elective here. All the kids take language and all the kids take culture classes,” she said. George Baldwin, a 14-yearold student, said he enjoys learning the language. He’s afraid it will disappear. “I use it at home and at school and I come here to learn it,” he said. Sophia Suke, another Kickapoo student, is the school’s current Leadership Princess. It’s an honor bestowed upon her for being a good leader in the school. The language came naturally to her, she said. “I kind of learned it at 4 years old; I keep learning over and over because it’s really exciting to me. When I first came here I thought it was going to be boring. Well, it was really cool,” she said. Preserving the language is important for many Native American tribes. According to the United Nations Organization for Education Science and Culture, half of the world’s more than 6,000 languages could disappear in the next 80-plus years as a result of globalization. Kickapoo students are required to take culture and language classes as some of them know the history and culture and some don’t, Turner said. “I think with a lot of our new students this year it was very important to them to take culture classes and

wealthiest districts in Kansas (Blue Valley) was a proponent,” she said. “One of the other superintendents representing one of our poorest districts (Kansas City) was an opponent.” Debate in the House became heated after Rep. John Whitmer, RWichita, argued that Democrats who were criticizing the bill had not offered any proposals of their own. That prompted an angry and boisterous reply from House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City. “We value children and we will stand up for children,” Burroughs said. Then, pointing directly at Whitmer, he said: “You want to take the position of voting against funding for children in hopes that they’ll vote Republican, then continue down that road. You, sir, are an ideologist, a politician ...” At that point, the House chamber erupted in shouts and boos as Burroughs was called out of order for directing

his comments toward another individual, a violation of House protocol. Burroughs later apologized “for losing my decorum.” Earlier in the Senate, Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley said he would file a separate constitutional objection expressing his opposition to the bill. “I’ve never lived on a farm, but I think there’s an old expression about putting lipstick on a pig,” he said, referring to last year’s law, which abolished the old school funding formula and changed the way equalization aid is calculated, as the pig. “I think we are doing a major disservice to the school districts that we represent and to our constituents by passing a bill that in my mind is clearly unconstitutional,” he said. Many moderate Republicans acknowledged they had concerns about the bill, but said they would vote for it anyway in hopes of preventing the Supreme Court from

closing schools. The equity issue is only one part of a school finance lawsuit that also challenges the overall adequacy of school funding. The court will hear oral arguments on that issue later this spring, and is expected to issue a ruling in the fall. The bill passed both chambers largely along party lines. It passed the Senate, 32-5, with all eight Democrats either voting no or passing. It passed the House, 93-31, with five Republicans joining 25 Democrats in voting no. Two Johnson County Democrats, Jarrod Ousley and Nancy Lusk, joined 91 Republicans in voting yes. In essence, the bill adds about $23.5 million for equalizing capital outlay budgets. But it deletes nearly $83 million for local option budget equalization, and then applies a different formula to the LOB equalization so that it is spread more evenly among districts, in relation to their per-pupil assessed valuation. That results in a net decrease of $59.4 million in

“We are committed to one single goal,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., ROlathe. “Satisfy the Supreme Court directly so that public education is not disrupted by litigation.” But opponents said they doubted the bill would pass court muster, and they said it falls short of solving the longterm needs of Kansas schools, which include both equitable and adequate funding. Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who serves on the Appropriations Committee, said she could tell that the bill doesn’t solve the equity problems by looking at who testified for and against the bill. “What struck me about the testimony (Wednesday) was that one of the superintendents representing one of our

Native American school tries to save vanishing language Powhattan — The sign on the wall in Rozella Ramirez’s kindergarten/firstgrade class reads: “Less talking more beading.” Five- and 6-year-old hands diligently go to work stringing colorful beads onto necklaces that symbolize their heritage. Some students sew moccasins. Pieces of buckskin, needle and thread lie out on tables, ready for small hands to work into one of the icons of their history. Colorful regalia symbolizing tribal loyalty hangs in the classroom closet. Soon the students will wear the handmade clothing in a ceremony that celebrates their Kickapoo Native American culture. “We’re learning how to do arts and crafts, native bead work. All Native Americans do,” Ramirez said. Kickapoo Nation School in Powhattan is one of the few Native American schools in the region and one of more than a few across the nation. According to 2010 U.S. Census Bureau statistics, there were 49,152 students in Bureau of Indian Education schools across the country. They could be found in 183 elementary and secondary schools, including residential settings, in 23 states. In 2012, there were 566 federal recognized American Indian reservations. The St. Joseph NewsPress reports that the Kickapoo Tribe has been in the Powhattan area since 1832. The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas is one of three recognized Kickapoo tribes in the United States, including the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma and the Kickapoo Tribe of Texas. The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas is one of three other Indian tribes in Northeast Kansas to contract with the state for gaming operations. The Kickapoo Nation School moved into the former Powhattan school in

The Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin City school districts are all in the category of districts that would be held harmless, which means that, overall, they would receive the same amount of state aid next year that they are receiving this year. Each of those districts could, however, increase the local property tax levies to make up for the decreased local option budget aid, which would give them increased spending authority next year. Gov. Sam Brownback is widely expected to sign the bill, although his office did not issue a statement after the House and Senate votes. By law, he has 10 days from the day he officially receives the bill to make a decision.

Wildfires scorch hundreds of square miles By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Medicine Lodge (ap) — Crews worked to get a foothold Thursday against wildfires that have scorched hundreds of square miles in Oklahoma and Kansas and led residents of some small communities to flee their homes. Strong winds were fanning the flames, and firefighters haven’t been able to establish effective containment lines yet, the Oklahoma Forestry Services said. Gusts of 50 mph fed the fires Wednesday, but the winds were expected to die down considerably late Thursday, the National Weather Service reported. Smoke from the fires, which burned about 620 square miles in Oklahoma and Kansas, was reportedly detected as far away as St. Louis, hundreds of miles to the northeast. In Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback said Thursday the fires were largely contained except in Barber County, which has sustained the most damage. Brownback encouraged people to heed any requests to evacuate. No serious injuries have been reported. “We haven’t sustained any fatalities yet, but that doesn’t mean we can push it,” he said. Crews in Barber County, which is southwest of Wichita along the state’s southern border with Oklahoma, Please see FIRES, page 4A

were fighting a 30- to 40mile line of fire. Darcy Golliher, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Incident Management Team, said that blaze was about 15 percent contained late Thursday and is expected to last through Friday. She said there hopefully would be only a few hot spots to monitor over the weekend. “It will all depend on the wind,” she said. The fire, which came close to Medicine Lodge on Wednesday, destroyed a home and an outbuilding on the outskirts of the Barber County community of about 2,000 residents. Voluntary evacuation orders issued there earlier were lifted Thursday afternoon. Voluntary evacuations were also sought for the small towns of Sun City and Lake City. On Thursday, Sherry and Craig Prothe were

packing clothing and keepsakes into two cars at their home south of Medicine Lodge, where they could see smoke from the fire. “We’re not trying for big stuff,” Sherry Prothe said. “We’re trying for the mementoes.” They said the fire reduced their elderly neighbors’ home to just a chimney, but that they felt a bit more confident that their home would survive because it is surrounded by green wheat fields rather than dry land. But they said they hadn’t decided whether they’ll leave the home yet. “Our saving grace is the wheat is still green,” Sherry Prothe said. With conditions “not as

intense” and more crews arriving, firefighters were able to “get out there and really attack the fire” on Thursday, said Shawna Hartman, the spokesman for the Kansas Forest Service. In Comanche County, just west of Barber County, the wind blew embers that reignited the fire Thursday morning after it had been brought under control late Wednesday, said John Lehman, Comanche County Emergency Management coordinator. But the blaze there was largely controlled late Thursday. “The wind blows things around,” he said. “It hits dry grass and away it goes.” In Burrton, which is

about 30 miles northwest of Wichita, grass fires burned one home and forced the evacuation of others, and killed several head of livestock, the Harvey County sheriff’s office said in a news release. That fire had been controlled later Thursday. In Oklahoma, the fire was moving toward the city of Alva, population about 5,000, but by early evening, the flames had not advanced enough to prompt evacuations there, according to Oklahoma Forestry Services spokeswoman Michelle Finch-Walker. Oklahoma authorities said the cause of the fire was under investigation. In Texas, where strong winds and low humidity created ideal fire conditions, some people were evacuated Wednesday from their homes in Skellytown, about 45 miles northeast of Amarillo, but were allowed to return after a few hours, said Linda Moon, of the Texas A&M Forest Service.

Shooting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

At the home, officers found one man in his 20s shot once in the leg, McKinley said. The victim was flown by helicopter to a Kansas Cityarea trauma center and hospitalized. A condition report was not available Thursday morning. Both Thornton and a woman, also in her 20s, were at the scene. The two were escorted away from the house in handcuffs. After a line of questioning the woman was released while Thornton was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail. Earlier Wednesday morning Thornton and the victim had an “altercation” inside the home, McKinley said. The nature of the altercation and the relationship between the victim and Thornton were not immediately clear.

Registration is now open for Kansas University’s Mini College, the university’s annual weeklong summer school program for adults. This year, Mini College will take place June 6 through June 9. The cost is $300, which includes light breakfasts, lunches and two dinners, according to a KU announcement. For more information, a full class schedule or to register, call 864-4815 or go online to minicollege.ku.edu. Here are just a few of the course titles, and their respective departments, being offered this summer: “The Expert’s Guide to the Sci-Fi Galaxy: Explore the Genre with KU’s Grand Master” (English); “How Music Inspired and Sustained the Civil Rights Movement” (history); and “Deliberate Destructions of Ancient Sites and Monuments: A Short History” (Jewish studies). At his court appearance Thursday, Thornton said he was defending his life. Douglas County Jail booking logs show Thornton lives in the East 19th Street home where the shooting took place. Neither the victim nor the woman present during the shooting lives at the home, McKinley said. A preliminary hearing for Thornton is scheduled for 2 p.m. March 29. He is being held at the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. Thornton’s Douglas County criminal record shows a 2010 adjudication of felony aggravated indecent liberties with a child, according to Douglas County District Court records. The violation took place in September 2009. At the time, both Thornton and the victim were under 14 years old. Further information was not immediately available. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284 or cswanson@ljworld.com.

ALL THAT JAZZ Acclaimed pianist, Lawrence native returns for show Out & About

Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

ddison Frei has come a long way from his first professional gig. Now an acclaimed jazz pianist living in New York City, the Lawrence native got his start performing for Sunday brunch patrons at the Eldridge Hotel. At 10, he was tall enough to touch his feet to the pedals but perhaps not tall enough for guests to see his head peeking out over the music rack. “I’m sure that raised a few eyebrows,” recalls Frei, who credits those first gigs — his parents “really went to bat” on selling hotel management on the idea of a 10-year-old pianist — with giving him the endurance needed for the life of a professional musician. At 24, Frei is returning to his hometown for another gig, this time with a few musical friends in tow, as part of the Lawrence Arts Center’s 940 LIVE! concert series at 7:30 p.m.Thursday. He’ll be joined by girlfriend Tahira Clayton, whom he met as a student at the University of North Texas, on vocals, and childhood friend and Lawrence musician Lucas Parker, who regularly performs with the funk band Mouth. Frei collaborates with Clayton on a fairly frequent basis now, but with Parker based in Lawrence and on the road much of the time, it’s harder to get together. “We really grew up learning music together, so it’ll be great to invite Lucas back,” Frei says of the set list, which much like his upcoming sophomore album, “Transit,” should include a mix of original compositions and jazz standards. In the year since Frei’s last visit, the 2010 Lawrence High School graduate has kept busy working as

STYLE SCOUT

By Mackenzie Clark

Laramie Barnes Age: 24 Relationship status: Single Hometown: Lawrence Time in Lawrence: Whole life Occupation: Works at Papa Keno’s; door girl at The Granada Dream job: Fashion designer What were you doing when scouted? Just went and got dinner with (friend Danon Taylor) for watching her dog for the past week. Describe your style: It’s pretty random; I get most of my clothes from thrift stores. So thrifty, darker, magic; I probably take a little bit from Stevie (Nicks) from Fleetwood Mac. Fashion trends you love: I guess I like the stuff from the ’90s that’s coming back. I like the crop tops, the fringe. I usually stick to seemingly ’90’s and darker style, though. Fashion trends you hate: I hate the fact that we live in Lawrence, that a lot of the students seem to dress the same. I see guys in groups all walking in plaid shorts and khakis and it’s like, do you all realize that you look the same? People that seem like they look at what everyone else is wearing to get dressed — problems. Fashion influences: I like Rihanna; I’ve always been really big into fashion. People tell me that I follow the beat of my own drum a lot. What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence? My favorite things are almost everything — but the fact that I’ve lived here so long makes me want to travel and get out of it. The fact that it’s a small town and I see so many people I know everywhere — but it’s cozy. Tattoos or piercings: Of course I went to the dentist today and they made me take my snakebites out. Snakebites, septum, tongue, gauges in ears. Tattoo on left arm. What’s your spirit animal? Some sort of feline, like a black cat because we’re both small, stealthy and mysterious. Whom do people say you look like? People tell me that I look like Beyonce, but I scoff at them. Mary Jane from “How High,” that actress. Tell us a secret: I can lick my elbow; my secret menu (at Papa Keno’s) is very legit.

A history of spring break debauchery How do you document “fun” when it’s sold as a commodity? Covering a half-century of debauchery, the 2016 documentary “Spring Broke” (8 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA) takes a deliberately light approach to the history of Florida as a spring break destination. How light? It’s narrated by Robin Leach of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” “Broke” is filled with great period footage of several generations of college students losing their inhibitions. It’s also stuffed with amusing commentary by seemingly sober older folks trying to make sense of it all. There’s a vintage, black-andwhite NBC News report from the early 1960s featuring a disdainful Chet Huntley describing young people consuming “prodigious” amounts of beer and dancing the twist “endlessly.” Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, an author and humorist who never tires of commenting on Florida peculiarities, marvels at the youthful throngs and their need to “let loose.” It’s not like they’ve been ground down by “some kind of Soviet system,” he muses. “They’re college students,” presumably with plenty of opportunities to drink and cavort on campus. “Broke” dates this Florida tradition to the 1930s, when the city of Fort Lauderdale sponsored a college swimming competition. By the late 1950s spring break became the subject of a sociological novel, “Where the Boys Are,” by college professor Glendon Swarthout. The 1960 film adaptation, starring Paula Prentiss, George Hamilton and Connie Francis, blew the phenomenon wide open. “Broke” examines how the city of Fort Lauderdale and later, Daytona Beach, made a devil’s bargain with America’s youth, attracting brief bouts of chaos and even riots in exchange for millions of tourist dollars. The film also emphasizes the uncomfortable juxtaposition of crazed students with Florida’s older residents. The film concludes in the 1980s as the rite became completely commercialized, attracting the marketers of beer and cigarettes and the attention of MTV.

Nation sees new trends in mobility

EDITORIALS

Have a seat A charming sculpture of basketball’s inventor provides the perfect welcome to KU’s new DeBruce Center.

ames Naismith looks right at home, doesn’t he? Sitting on a bench next to Allen Fieldhouse and the new DeBruce Center that will house his handwritten rules of “Basket Ball.” It’s almost like he’s just waiting for someone to come along so he can tell them about his new game. He’s got his ball and his peach baskets, and he’s ready to go. Naismith may have invented the game in Springfield, Mass., but Lawrence is where he watched it blossom. He was born in 1861, the year that Kansas became a state, and came to Kansas University in 1898. He was KU’s first basketball coach and later served as its athletic director until 1937. He died in 1939 and is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery. Lawrence was his home for more than 40 years and his final resting place. No wonder he looks so comfortable sitting on that bench. The bronze sculpture installed near Allen Fieldhouse this week was created by another KU icon, Elden Tefft. Two other sculptures from the same model are located in Springfield, Mass., and in Naismith’s birthplace, Almonte, Ontario, Canada. This final piece was in progress when Tefft died in February 2015, at the age of 95, and his son, Kim, completed the work. Like Naismith’s legacy, the sculpture is slightly larger than life. The work is covered now while construction of the DeBruce Center is completed, but Naismith’s welcoming smile and pose is likely to make it him one of the most photographed figures on campus for years to come. It’s a great complement to the more heroic bronze figure of Forrest “Phog” Allen on the east side of the fieldhouse. Earlier this week, in Louisville, KU coach Bill Self was asked to compare the reputations of Kansas City and Louisville as great college basketball cities. Both have strong basketball ties, but, really, how can you compete with Lawrence’s ties to the founding fathers of basketball? Just look at James Naismith, sitting there with his peach baskets. He’s at home in the true home of basketball.

Dearborn, Mich. — If Mark Fields’ theory is correct, his industry faces novel challenges. His theory about the changing role of driving in Americans’ lives is one reason Ford Motor Co. now describes itself as an “automotive and mobility company.” Fields, Ford’s CEO, remembers a time when, on the day a teenager became old enough for a driver’s license, he or she made an early morning beeline to get it. Many still do, but increasing numbers are less ardent about the machine that made modern America. In 2014, only 76.7 percent of people 20 to 24 years old had driver’s licenses, down from 91.8 percent in 1983. Until recently, Fields says, driving meant the freedom to go out and connect with friends. Now, texting teens squinting at their devices’ screens “don’t have to move to stay connected.” And given car-use entities like Zipcar and ride-sharing services like Uber, young people do not have to drive in order to move. American automakers sold a record 17.5 million vehicles last year, assisted by low gas prices, low interest rates (the average newcar loan is for more than 65 months and the average amount financed is almost $28,000), and a record-high average age (11.4 years) of the cars and light trucks on America’s roads. But although interest rates will not forever be so low, and al-

Car ownership among young adults is declining and vehicle miles driven per American in 2012 were 6.4 percent lower than in 2004, and no higher than in 1997.” though the Federal Reserve Bank of New York estimates that any one percentage point increase in interest rates could decrease vehicle sales 12 percent, Fields sees a $3.1 trillion opportunity. The world’s core vehicle business (cars, trucks, financing, parts and service) is a $2.3 trillion industry, of which Ford’s share is 6 percent. But there is a $5.4 trillion sector of emerging opportunities for automakers to meld their businesses with other businesses. Automakers can, he thinks, prosper, perhaps even selling fewer cars, while providing what Fields describes as “mobility beyond our traditional definition.” Such mobility can involve the mundane, such as electric bicycles. Or the exotic, such as self-driving cars that go

far beyond automatic parallel parking to driverless delivery of children to soccer practices or seniors to medical appointments, using sophisticated algorithms and urban mapping. Car ownership among young adults is declining and vehicle miles driven per American in 2012 were 6.4 percent lower than in 2004, and no higher than in 1997. Time was, children raced on their balloon-tire bikes to car dealerships to experience the excitement of new models. It may someday be that way in emerging markets such as India, where Ford has 2.6 percent of the automobile market — still an infant market — in a country of 1.3 billion people. Ford’s latest entry in the luxury field, the redesigned Lincoln Continental, was built with an eye to China, where Beijing now has more billionaires than does New York City. Fields — whose company’s best-selling product is the F-Series pickup truck, many of whose purchasers have an almost erotic relationship with it — believes that an automobile is “still an emotional purchase.” But purchasers who once cared about chrome are now more emotional about technology add-ons that maintain drivers’ connectivity with their homes, offices and friends. So far, even the market for electrified vehicles is sluggish. In 2008, the 12 such vehicles had 2.3 percent market share. In 2015, the 60 different hybrids, plug-in

hybrids and fully electric vehicles had a market share of 2.7 percent. History, however, teaches that automobiles can suddenly floor history’s accelerator. In the lobby of the headquarters of Fields’ “automotive and mobility” company sits one of Henry Ford’s Model T’s, arguably history’s most transformative machine. Manufactured from 1908 to 1927, during which span its inflation-adjusted price fell about 80 percent, it launched the automobile age. Hitherto, people had moved only as far and fast as hooves, sails and then rails could move them. In a historical blink, the automobile emancipated humanity from what has been called “the tyranny of distance.” And from the loneliness of rural life, and the health hazards posed by the mountains of manure and rivers of urine from urban horses. American households with automobiles went from essentially zero in 1900 to 93 percent in 1929. Automakers’ coming technological wizardry will not have such sweeping effects on how life is lived. But like the smartphone in your pocket or purse, which you lived without until about a decade ago and now cannot imagine living without, future automotive and other mobility innovations will, in the modern manner, quickly change from unanticipated to indispensable. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Shelter points to success By John Tacha Jr.

Journal-World

There have been several articles in the Lawrence Journal-World in the last few weeks that have cast the Lawrence Community Shelter in a negative light. As the current president of the board at the shelter, I will be the first to acknowledge that there are issues that, with only the context of the J-W’s reporting, would seem quite serious on the surface. For example, it is correct that the kitchen at the shelter was shut down overnight while it came into compliance this past weekend, but there are many restaurants in Lawrence currently operating out of compliance. Like many of these reputable restaurants, we want to be off the list. We are using this experience as a way to partner with local restaurant leaders to improve practices and learn from the best. We sincerely thank Maceli’s restaurant for their assistance and guidance. Since the Lawrence Community Shelter moved to its new location, it has been able to house more guests, and serve them meals. Concurrently, we are providing more programming, helping exponentially more people into jobs, and moving people out of homelessness. Our ultimate goal is for all of our clients to become taxpaying citizens of Douglas County, and we are succeeding with an average of 22 newly housed and employed guests each month.

YOUR TURN It should come as no surprise to anyone that this work comes with a cost. The city and county have been generous in their financial commitments, but the overwhelming majority of the money that keeps the shelter going 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, comes from private donations. The honest truth is that many of the small problems cited in previous articles would be a non-issue if there was a larger commitment from the county and city that could be used to hire additional, dedicated employees for case management, for night supervisors, for kitchen help — in short, to deal with the issues highlighted in the previous articles. I hope future media coverage deals with some of the incredible success stories that are happening on a daily basis at the shelter. For our part, we will share data and highlight programming successes. We also invite the community to visit the facility to get a first-hand look at an entity that is creating miracles every day on a very limited budget. The Lawrence Community Shelter provides a core service to our community, and the work being done there should make the entire community proud. — John Tacha Jr. is president of the Lawrence Community Shelter board of directors.

PUBLIC FORUM

Social democracies To the editor: Gary Stussie seems puzzled about why “the college crowd seems giddy” about the “democratic socialism” proposals by Bernie Sanders, e.g., universal medical care, an adequate social welfare safety net, free higher education (Public Forum, March 15). Actually five of the 10 most successful economies in the world have just such “socialistic characteristics” (see money.cnn.com). Sadly, successful capitalism doesn’t mean most of its economic benefits go to ordinary working people. And if the college crowd is listening in class, that’s what they would’ve learned. Stussie just isn’t right in characterizing Scandinavian social democracies as “not doing well.” Recently they aren’t doing as well but then neither are other industrial countries, including the U.S. Even so, Forbes magazine charactarizes Denmark as “enjoying a high standard of living in an economy with an extensive welfare measures and an equitable distribution of income.” Its GDP this year is on track for 1.6 percent growth. Unemployment is around 6 percent. Sweden’s unemployment rate is 7.8 percent (though it pays to note their huge emigration influx). Swedish GDP is projected to grow close to 4 percent in 2016. Norway’s unemployment was only 3.3 percent last year. There’s no big emigration out of Scandanavia. It’s both historically inaccurate and a piece of mischief to equate the socialism of the Nordic social democracies with the “larger experiments in socialism which have failed miserably” (fascist dictatorships like the Soviet Union, Cuba and China?). The Scandinavian road to socialism was not marked by brutal repression, total public takeover of private industry and disregard for democratic processes. Donald Chambers, Lawrence

REMEMBERING THE DISAPPEARED Protesters carry a banner of those who disappeared during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship in Argentina in Buenos Aires on Thursday. The march commemorated the 40th anniversary of the coup that started the “dirty war.” President Obama apologized for U.S. support of the coup.

Presidential race surges past $1 billion Fredreka Schouten

EITAN ABRAMOVICH, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The U.S. intelligence system is well-prepared to thwart terror attacks like this week’s deadly bombings in Brussels but is vulnerable to homegrown assaults by self-radicalized Americans who blend into everyday life. Lone wolf attacks such as the Boston Marathon bombings and the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings show the USA is prone to less sophisticated efforts by people who self-radicalized here. Changes to U.S. counterterrorism methods implemented after the Sept. 11 terror attacks have led to better information sharing and intelligence collection in this country, said Carrie Cordero, a former national security lawyer at the U.S. Justice Department. Tuesday’s coordinated bombings at the Brussels Airport and a metro station killed at least 31 people and wounded many others. “I don’t think the fact that there has not been an attack of this type in the United States is an accident,” Cordero said. “These types of attacks are precisely the type of attack that all of our counterterrorism efforts are designed to prevent.”

Fundraising in the presidential contest has zoomed past the $1 billion mark, fueled by dozens of super-wealthy Americans bankrolling super PACs that have acted as shadow campaigns for White House contenders. Candidates and the super PACs closely aligned with them raised a little more than $1 billion through the end of February, newly released campaign reports show. By comparison, the presidential fundraising by candidates and their super PACs hit $402.7 million at this point in the 2012 election, according to data compiled by the non-partisan Campaign Finance Institute. WASHINGTON

The price tag of the White House contest puts it roughly on par with the value of Major League Baseball’s Chicago White Sox, which Forbes pegged this week as worth $1.05 billion, but it’s far less than the nearly $7 billion American consumers spent last year to celebrate Halloween. New figures show super PACs and their patrons foot more of the cost of running for the presidency. Super PACs account for nearly 40% of all presidential fundraising, up from about 22% at this point four years ago. Money flowing directly to candidates has dropped. In 2008, the last election in which neither a sitting president nor vice president sought the White House, candidates had raised $812 million at this point in the campaign, the institute’s data show. Super PACs, authorized by a pair of federal court rulings in 2010, did not exist during the 2008 campaign.

Eight years later, the nearly two dozen men and women who have run for the presidency in 2016 collected far less: $623.8 million. That reflects, in part, the difference in the kinds of candidates running this year, said Michael Malbin, executive director of the Campaign Finance Institute. “When you have so many candidates running on disaffection with the establishment, it doesn’t make it easy to go to the establishment and raise money,” he said. In 2016, the GOP race is led by a billionaire political novice, Donald Trump, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a first-term senator who rails often against the “Washington cartel.” Sen. Bernie Sanders, a billionaire-bashing Vermonter seeking the Democratic nomination, outraised the entire presidential field last month, fueled by small online donations.

Brussels terror attack puts Schaerbeek in the spotlight Linda A. Thompson and Daan Ballegeer Special for USA TODAY

Authorities had been scouring Molenbeek, a North African enclave here, since the Islamic State staged terrorist attacks in Paris last November. Now another immigrant district — Schaerbeek — is in the spotlight. On Wednesday, police discovered explosives, other chemicals used to make bombs and the black flag of the Islamic State in a Schaerbeek apartment, according BRUSSELS

to Belgian media reports. “Everyone was nervous,” said Emma Raulin, 24, a Brussels resident on her way to work. “There were a lot of soldiers. No one was talking, just sitting in the metro playing on their mobile phones. The atmosphere was very tense.” Police later said Najim Laachraoui, 24, an alleged Islamic State bomb maker and Schaerbeek native, was among the suicide bombers who attacked Brussels Airport and a metro station on Tuesday, killing dozens. Home to 130,000 people, Schaerbeek is a mix of Turkish, Moroccan and other immigrants

who often settle first in Molenbeek, then move to Schaerbeek after getting better jobs. Despite the gentrification that sections of Schaerbeek have experienced in the past decade, there remain pockets of poor North African Muslims who might sympathize with Islamic State’s violent, antiWestern ideology. Schaerbeek has densely packed neighborhoods, a red light district and a major railway station. “You have beautiful tree-lined lanes leading directly into ghastly slum quarters,” said Alan Hope, 59, a contributing editor for the English-language news publication

Flanders Today and a 23-yearlong resident of Schaerbeek. “All of those characteristics help to make it a place where criminals are concentrated.” Aissa Ben Mohamed, 25, who grew up in Schaerbeek, said “life is good. ... This is not the richest commune ... but there is a strong multiculturalism that enriches it,” he said. Mohamed blamed the radicalization of some community members on “misinterpretation of religion, a dire socio-economic situation, no purpose in life, absent parents.” Thompson reported from Berlin.

MYSTERIES REMAIN 2 DAYS AFTER BRUSSELS ATTACK Number of terrorists, victims still uncertain Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Two days after the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, investigators are still grappling with key aspects of the bombings, including exactly how many terrorists were involved, how many are still at large and the identity of the victims and the missing. Also unclear is exactly how many people were killed in the attacks by four or possibly five terrorists. Media reports indicate at least 31 people, and perhaps as many as 34, were killed, and as many as 300 people injured. An urgent question for investigators is the identity of a man wearing a hat and light-colored clothing who is seen on surveil-

The

man is shown pushing a cart carrying luggage that contains a 35pound bomb that did not detonate. He fled the scene before the attacks occurred. There also may be a second

terrorist on the run. French newspaper Le Monde and the Belgian public broadcaster RTBF reported that a man carrying a large bag was seen on CCTV at the Maelbeek metro station with Khalid El Bakraoui, who police identified as the suicide bomber on a subway car. Meanwhile, family and friends of people missing since the attacks are frantically searching for information. The search is complicated by the fact that 61 people from among hundreds of injured remain in intensive care. A website — called simply “Brussels Missing” — has been established as a clearinghouse for people looking for missing friends and relatives. It contains pleas for information and heartbreaking photos of people from their Facebook pages or vacation trips. It is broken down into four categories: Missing, Safe, Injured and Deceased.

One message, written in three languages, says simply: “My friend has no news of her mother, Fabienne Vansteenkiste. She was in the airport at the time of the attacks. If you have any information, please contact Thomas S... Thank you.” According to local media reports, Vansteenkiste, 51, had just finished her shift as a baggage handler when the bombs exploded at the airport. One of her friends, Ikke Egeltje, expressed anger some media have reported Vansteenkiste’s death when nothing has been officially established. “We are very angry with these newspapers and media which confirm things so that we ourselves have not had information for two days,” Egeltje writes on the website. “Not only for us, but for all the families that remain without news and who learn these speculations.”

Counterterrorism more fractured in Europe v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The two brothers who carried out the suicide bombings were named on U.S. watch lists before the Belgian assaults, two U.S. officials said Thursday. Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui were added to the lists, which aid counterterrorism officials’ efforts to thwart suspects’ entry to the USA, after the attacks Nov. 13 in Paris that killed 130 people, said one of the officials, who are not authorized to comment publicly. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris and Brussels. The contrast between U.S. and European counterterrorism methods begins with different attitudes toward immigrants and information sharing by law enforcement, analysts say. “The entire identity of the (USA) is one that embraces immigrants and has an ideology about religious freedom, diversity and acceptance,” said Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, which promotes the separation of mosque and state. “I’ve talked to many (European) Muslims who are reformists like myself and reject any Islamic State ideology and lived in France and Germany all their lives and still don’t feel French or German.” Jasser said some Muslim Americans become radicalized through radical books and media, but their isolation is not as extreme as in Europe “because the physical enclaves are much less here in America.” Sharing intelligence information among agencies in Europe, and Belgium in particular, is not as extensive as in the USA. Every country in Europe has its own counterterrorism police and laws concerning privacy and how those agencies can do their jobs, said Clint Watts, a former FBI counterterrorism agent at the Philadelphia-based Foreign Policy Research Institute. “These guys (radicals) are running wild on social media and electronic communications in a way that I think in the USA we have a better handle on it,” Watts said. In the U.S. encryption debate, law enforcement pushes for more access to communication channels, while European officials concede to data privacy, he said. Unlike U.S. law enforcement, many European police agencies lack access to metadata — the list

Police and soldiers search people entering De Brouckere metro station in Brussels on Thursday. of phone numbers and names that a suspect’s phone has called, which can expose acquaintances and accomplices, Watts said. “They don’t do data storage,” Watts said. “They don’t have access to it in the way we have access to it in the United States. They have much stricter laws about what data can be stored about their citizens.” Such data can be compartmentalized in each country, though Watts said he’s not sure how they’re treated in Belgium. The FBI has national jurisdiction in terrorism cases. In Europe, setting up surveillance means consulting the laws of each country when an investigation crosses borders, Watts said. In the USA, the number of foreign fighters per capita is much smaller than in Belgium, and an ocean separates the USA from the battlefield. Fewer than 300 Americans have fought or tried to go fight for the Islamic State, said Matthew Levitt, a former

counterterrorism expert at the Treasury Department and FBI, who directs the counterterrorism program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The European Union counterterrorism coordinator reported that about 5,000 EU citizens have traveled to Syria or Iraq to join the Islamic State and other radical groups, though member state databases list 2,786, Levitt said. Nine out of 10 on that list come from five of the EU’s 28 member states, and several EU countries have yet to connect electronically to Interpol on all their border crossings, he said. Travelers to the USA are checked against multilayered databases to make sure they’re not on any terrorist watch lists, Levitt said. “Our system is 180 degrees better than in Europe,” Levitt said. Yet, he predicted, “we will not catch everything.” Contributing: Brad Heath and Kevin Johnson

Reports: French police arrest terror suspect Melanie Eversley USA TODAY

Authorities have detained a “high level suspect” north of Paris who was “at an advanced stage” of planning a terror attack on French soil, news organizations are reporting that French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Thursday. Cazeneuve said the arrest did not appear tied to the recent attack in Brussels, where various news agencies were reporting six arrests were made Thursday following the airport and subway massacre earlier this week. The arrests were made in raids in central Brussels and two other neighborhoods, the Boston Globe reported that prosecutors said. In France, security forces

locked down the area in the Parisian suburb of Argenteuil to conduct a major search, The Guardian reported Cazeneuve said. A building was evacuated and sniffer dogs and mine experts were inspecting, according to The Guardian. “These searches follow an arrest by the DGSI (intelligence services) on Thursday morning that allowed us to stop a planned bombing in France that was at an advanced stage,” The Guardian quoted Cazeneuve as saying. The suspect was French and belongs to a terrorist network, Cazeneuve told The Guardian. Cazeneuve said there were no apparent links between this alleged plot and recent attacks in Brussels or in Paris, Sky News reported.

China wants cities, developments to drop ‘foreign, strange’ names Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY

San Marino Bridge, Sangiovese Di Romagna, Interlaken Town. These places are all in Europe, right? Wrong. They are luxury residential complexes in China. There is also a Merlin Champagne Town, a Rancho Santa Fe Villas, an Elite Community Apartments and a Remmy Terrace. The Chinese government has had enough of these confusing — and sometimes obnoxious — names, saying this week it wants “clean up” the imported monikers. “Exaggerated, foreign, strange” names damage “national dignity” and conflict with “socialist core values,” Civil Affairs Minister Li Liguo said. “To carry traditional Chinese culture forward, we must strengthen the protection of long-standing geographical names,” he said. The announcement comes a month after the Chinese government said it was banning the construction of “West-worshiping, weird architecture” and gated communities. In a move that provokes the ire of China’s wealthy residents, the government also said it would force existing gated communities to open up. China is undergoing an urbaniBEIJING

zation boom as part of the government’s plan to modernize. But development has been haphazard and unregulated at times, spawning huge, congested metropolises that lack water and are often enveloped in smog. Li said that over the past 30 years, around a half-million towns and villages have been abandoned, incorporated into larger cities or rebranded to attract investment or tourists. Chinese names for places are often quite perfunctory. Beijing means “north capital.” Shanghai translates as “place to set out to sea.” The names are tightly connected to location or role. One well-known example of a Chinese village trying to make itself a bit more sexy is Zhongdian in northern Yunnan province. In 2001 the town, whose original name meant meaning “mid-settlement” decided to rename itself Xianggelila, or Shangrila, after the fictional paradise in James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon. Other villages renamed themselves to claim links to historical characters. Li said all such name changes should be reversed, with Western ones the first to go. Zhu Lijia, a professor at the National School of Administration, said adopting names of Western places caused confusion and “cut Chinese people off from their history and culture.”

Popular Canadian radio host Jian Ghomeshi was acquitted of sexual assault charges Thursday, following a two-year legal battle that captivated Canadians and cast into the national spotlight a debate about what constitutes workplace sexual misbehavior. Ghomeshi faced four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking, based on alleged incidents with three women. He is the former host of Q, a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. radio show on culture. The verdict by a judge in Toronto concluded the controversial case that began in October 2014, when Ghomeshi said in a lengthy Facebook post that he was fired by the CBC because of his fondness for bondage and other sexual activities that he stressed were always consensual. He filed a $50 million wrongful termination lawsuit against his former employer, but later withdrew it. — Amy Kovac

New criminal charges linking Iran to 2011-2013 cyberattacks on the U.S. put suspects’ names and faces on an episode that plagued 46 banks and financial institutions nationwide — and hundreds of thousands of their customers. Account holders who logged in online encountered blank screens, dropped connections or extremely slow responses, security experts said in interviews Thursday, hours after authorities announced indictments of seven suspects with ties to the Middle East nation’s government and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The attackers also unsuccessfully targeted control of the Bowman Dam in Rye, N.Y., which is a suburb of New York City. At the banks, a coordinated global counterattack geared up. “The victims knew very well what was going on,” said Rod Rasmussen, vice president of cybersecurity at Infoblox (BLOX), a California-based company that delivers critical network protective services. “Their services were being totally disrupted.” The incident involved an as-

sault known as a distributed denial of service attack. That means attackers gain remote control of hundreds or thousands of computers by infecting them with malware. The attackers then execute commands that use the infected computers to flood targeted systems with vast quantities of data, blocking normal exchanges. “At the time, we had a high confidence that it was state sponsored,” said Roger Barranco, senior director of security operations for Akamai Technologies (AKAM), a Massachusetts-based specialist in content delivery network services. “The main thing was the intensity level ... lasting 12 hours sometimes.” Mounting such lengthy assaults typically would run up expensive computer costs beyond the reach of more mundane attackers, the experts said. The early attacks succeeded, said Rasmussen. Online service for customers of Bank of America, American Express, Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, Citibank,

JPMorgan Chase and other wellknown financial institutions were disabled for hours at a time. “We experienced intermittent slowing on our website that would have disrupted customers’ ability to access their account information,” American Express spokeswoman Amelia Woltering said in a 2013 USA TODAY interview. But the hackers left telltale electronic clues. Cyber security experts who checked Internet protocol identifications linked to the attacks found that much of the disabling traffic originated from a few hundred computer servers. Coordinating with firms that hosted the servers, response teams removed the infecting malware and “shut down the traffic,” said Rasmussen. Although cyberattacks have increased dramatically in size and quantity since the Iran-linked episode, Barranco said there have been fewer signs of state-sponsored assaults in recent years. Nonetheless, what should customers of a bank or financial firm do if their log in efforts are slow, or reach a blank screen? “If they’re concerned, they should call that particular bank or business,” said Barranco. “They’ll get back to you with an answer about what’s happening, and what’s being done.” “You don’t want your end users to think their records are at risk,” he added.

U.N. tribunal convicts Karadzic of ’90s genocide Former Bosnian Serb leader gets 40 years Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was found guilty Thursday of genocide in the 44month siege of Sarajevo during the 1990s, and nine other war crimes. About 8,000 Muslim men and boys died during the siege in Srebrenica in 1995, making it the worst war crime in Europe since World War II. Karadzic, 70, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He was tried before a United Nations war crimes tribunal in Europe and faced 11 charges. Presiding Judge O-Gon Kwon said Karadzic is criminally respon-

sible for murder, attacking civilians and terror for overseeing the deadly siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, during the country’s war. Earlier in the day, the U.N. court acquitted him of another charge of genocide in Bosnian towns. Karadzic “was the sole person ... with the power to intervene to prevent” the slaughter of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys who were rounded up after his forces captured Srebrenica, the judge said Thursday. Karadzic’s intention was that “every able-bodied Bosnian Muslim man from Srebrenica be killed,” according to a statement from the court. The list of crimes for which Karadzic was guilty included persecution, extermination, murder, deportation, terror and hostagetaking. The court found that Karadzic was the chief architect of

The former leader was also responsible for a scheme to detain U.N. personnel in the spring of 1995 to coerce NATO forces not to engage in airstrikes. Karadzic was the most senior Bosnian Serb leader to face trial for atrocities that occurred during the 1992-95 war.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS Terror attacks’ possible fallout: Rattled investors, bruised markets LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL

Adam Shell USA TODAY

While terror attacks tend to have a short-term negative impact on stocks, there are potential “second-order effects” of terrorism that could spook investors and hurt stocks longer term. Some possibilities: the rise of populist politicians with a nationalist streak, new laws in the name of security that lean isolationist and hurt trade and reactionary policies that undo globalization. The latest terror attack in Brussels, which comes on the heels of the Paris massacre in November, for example, could boost the odds of Great Britain voting to exit the European Union. It could also prompt governments around the globe to turn

t just keeps getting worse for Wall Street. ■ After a record-breaking year for corporate hookups last year, U.S. merger activity has fallen 40% this year, while global IPOs have dropped to their lowest levels since 2009. ■ Globally, merger and acquisition activity totaled $701.5 billion in the first three months of the year, down 25% from the previous year’s first quarter, according to data from M&A tracker Dealogic. Last year, a record $4.86 trillion in corporate wedding vows were exchanged around the world — the highest in history. In the U.S., the decline has been worse. M&A volume here totaled $248.2 billion, down 40% from a year earlier, Dealogic data show. The U.S. share of global M&A was 36%, its lowest since 2012, Dealogic said. Earlier this month, Citigroup CFO John Gerspach warned that the bank’s investment banking revenue would be down 25% from last year when the bank reports earnings next month. JPMorgan Chase has also warned of a 25% drop in investment banking revenue over last year, citing declines in stock and debt underwriting. Indeed, it’s not just merger activity that is showing signs of a slowdown. Initial public stock offerings globally came in at $12.7 billion in the first quarter, down 69% over last year — the lowest first-quarter results since 2009, Dealogic said. Bonds deals, including bonds underwriting to raise money for acquisitions, are also suffering. Debt activity fell 32% globally in the first quarter of 2016 — its lowest first-quarter levels since 2009, Dealogic said. In the U.S., bond deals, including restructuring of existing debt, came in at $632.6 billion in the first quarter — the lowest start to a year since 2008, during the financial crisis.

The same trap could hurt the U.S. “Both parties have candidates looking for the U.S. to disengage from the world, and to slow or stop free-trade agreements,” says Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network. “While there have certainly been costs, free trade has been on the whole a net benefit to the U.S. economy. Should the terrorist attacks push the U.S. to disengage from trade, or even worse enact policies such as tariffs which could ignite a trade war, it will not be only the U.S. economy that suffers,” he says.

Starboard seeks to oust entire Yahoo board Mike Snider and Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Hedge fund Starboard Value announced ambitious plans Thursday to wage a battle to overthrow Yahoo Inc.’s entire board, saying it has tried and failed to work with the company behind the scenes for 18 months. The board battle, which will take place at Yahoo’s shareholder meeting later this year, comes as Yahoo has put the company’s core Internet assets up for sale amid pressure from shareholders. But Starboard, which was leading the push for a sale with its 1.7% stake, suggested Yahoo is dragging its feet on the process. Even though telecom company

Verizon publicly expressed interest in Yahoo, Verizon’s CFO Fran Shammo recently commented on March 9 that the company GETTY IMAGES had not yet reMayer ceived information from Yahoo to consider a bid, Starboard CEO Jeffrey Smith said in the letter. He called the conflicting reports “troubling,” said a new board is needed to provide “credibility to a process that has been publicly criticized repeatedly for being too slow, fraught with conflicts of interest and very difficult for highly qualified and motivated

strategic and financial buyers to access much needed diligence information.” “We believe the board clearly lacks the leadership, objectivity, and perspective needed to make decisions that are in the best interests of shareholders,” said Smith, who included himself among the board candidates. All nine members of the Yahoo board will face re-election at the upcoming 2016 annual meeting; nominations are due Saturday. No date for the meeting has been set, but it is typically in late June. Starboard owns a 1.7% stake in Yahoo, which owns Yahoo Mail and other Internet properties. Yahoo said in a statement that its board “will review Starboard’s proposed director nominees and respond in due course.”

The board battle comes as Yahoo has put the company’s core Internet assets up for sale amid pressure from shareholders. Starboard’s candidates include a hodgepodge of tech and media executives such as former NBC Universal exec Bridget Baker and ex-Deutsche Bank Securities technology M&A global head Tor Braham. Earlier this month, Yahoo added two new directors to fill seats vacated by tech entrepreneur Max Levchin and brokerage founder Charles Schwab. The move was viewed as a signal to Star-

board that it was not willing to accept the shareholder’s request for board seats. Yahoo (YHOO) shares closed up 0.2% Thursday to $34.86 a share. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer was brought into the company in 2012 with ambitious plans to develop the 1990s Internet brand into a giant that could compete with the likes of Google and Facebook for ad dollars. But a turnaround has proved slow, and Mayer was criticized for spending too much money, including the company’s $1 billion acquisition of Tumblr. Prior to the current spat, Starboard and Yahoo had been back and forth on Yahoo’s plans to spin off its stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba.

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

Winning streaks, like records, are meant to be broken. That was clear Thursday when a flat day for stocks meant the market suffered a loss for the holiday-shortened week, ending Wall Street’s streak of consecutive weekly gains at five. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.1% to 17,516 Thursday, leaving it down 0.5% for the week. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index was unchanged for a weekly loss of 0.7%. Stocks stalled amid renewed talk of a coming interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve, a resurgent dollar and falling oil prices. So-called risk assets like stocks have come under fresh pressure this week. Investor sen-

timent has cooled following the terror attacks in Brussels as well as comments from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, who hinted that the next interest rate hike could come sooner than investors have anticipated. Fresh talk of a rate hike, perhaps as early as April, has pushed the dollar higher and commodities prices lower, both of which are negatives for stocks. The Fed last week buoyed markets when it slashed the number of rate hikes it expects in 2016 from four to two, citing a slight downgrade to its economic outlook and inflation expectations. Markets had been pricing in the next rate hike no earlier than June. A rally of 12% off of the Feb. 11 lows was driven by reduced recession fears, a weaker dollar and stable oil prices. But the dollar and crude reversed course in recent days, giving investors pause.

Energy stocks paying off nicely since January Q: Who predicted the energy rally? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors with the guts — or who were crazy enough — to buy energy stocks in mid-January have been paid handsomely. The 40 energy stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have added roughly $200 billion into the pockets of investors since oil prices bottomed Jan. 20. The fact so much money was made from the bottom is impressive, but not all that surprising. With the price of oil tanking below $40 a share, many analysts figured a bump was overdue. Shares of energy stocks exposed to oil prices were primed for big gains. Many analysts have been trying to call the bottom in oil prices and energy stocks. The problem was that many of these analysts were wrong for months, and the stocks kept tanking along with the price of oil. Extreme volatility is the nature of stocks in the energy and materials sectors. These stocks can rapidly fall apart when prices of the underlying commodities sink. But big money can be made from these sectors — sometimes epic gains — when commodity prices inevitably recover. The key, though, isn’t trying to call bottoms, which is difficult and perilous. The key is being diversified. If you own the S&P 500, you enjoyed the rally because of your 7% exposure to energy.

Fed president: Interest rate increase ‘may not be far off’ Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Federal Reserve President James Bullard said Thursday that the central bank’s next interest rate hike “may not be far off,” if “the economy evolves as expected,” opening the door to an increase in April or June. His remarks appeared more bullish on a near-term rate increase than both the Fed’s official statement and Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s comments at a news conference following policymakers’ two-day meeting last week. The

CNBC VIA GETTY IMAGES

James Bullard, CEO and president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, is considered “hawkish.”

Fed raised its benchmark rate from near zero in December for the first time in nearly a decade

but has stood pat at the two meetings since then. In a speech to the New York Association of Business Economics, Bullard raised the question of whether the Fed harmed its credibility by not lifting rates in March. He noted that between December and March, the economy largely progressed as the Fed anticipated in its December meeting forecasts. He said economic data showed that the U.S. and global growth outlook “was downgraded somewhat,” the U.S,. labor market outlook “was upgraded somewhat,” and other economic measures

were “about the same.” For example, financial markets — including stock prices, the dollar and corporate borrowing costs — were unfavorable early in the year but settled down by last week’s meeting. Bullard concluded that the Fed did not have to raise its benchmark rate in March, noting policymakers put more weight on the global and U.S. growth downgrade than the brighter labor market forecast. “The difference in macroeconomic outcomes between moving at one meeting vs. another is currently small,” he said.

Yet, he added, “the relatively minor downgrades contained in “the Fed’s March forecasts” suggest the next rate increase “may not be far off provided that the economy evolves as expected.” That view appears to be more aggressive than the Fed’s overall posture last week. Bullard is considered among the Fed’s more “hawkish” policymakers, meaning he’s often more concerned about staving off higher inflation than stimulating growth. As a result, his views may not necessarily reflect Yellen’s and those of other key policymakers.

Garry Shandling took talk shows down a peg ‘Larry Sanders Show’ creator and master of satire is dead at 66 Maria Puente USA TODAY

Comedian Garry Shandling, who amused millions of Americans on his faux talk show, The Larry Sanders Show, in the 1990s, died Thursday. He was 66. The news was confirmed to USA TODAY by Los Angeles police officer Rosario Herrera. The cause was not disclosed. TMZ was first with the news, reporting Thursday that there was a 911 call for a medical emergency from Shandling’s Los Angeles home, and he was taken to a hospital where he died. Police said they would conduct an investigation. Shandling’s last tweet (he had nearly 600,000 followers and nearly 7,000 tweets) was Sunday and featured him with fellow comedian Kathy Griffin. He was fully engaged until just days before his death, tweeting jokes about Kanye West and Mitt Romney and the Republican presidential contest. Shandling was a comedian, an actor, producer, even a director, according to his Internet Movie Database page, but he’s best known as “Larry Sanders,” the anxiety-ridden talk-show host whose hilarious foibles made entertaining fun of the talk-show genre from 1992 to 1998. He was the show’s creator, writer and star. (His Larry Sanders co-star was

The convention-bending Sanders series opened the door to other such TV fare, breaking decades-old molds and making possible such popular behindthe-showbiz-scenes comedies as Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Colbert Report and 30 Rock. The reaction from his friends and fans was shock. Originally from Chicago, Shandling started out in advertising

before moving to comedy writing and stand-up. In the 1980s he launched his first series, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, a Showtime sitcom that called attention to its artificial nature with the actors routinely breaking the fourth wall. In 1992, he began to tinker with TV comedy with The Larry Sanders Show, which starred him as an egomaniacal late-night TV host with an angst-ridden showbiz life behind the scenes.

Jerusalem Cafe to open on Mass. Street Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

’ll admit names that involve geography sometimes get me confused. For instance, my trip to Austin, Texas, to steal the mascot of Austin Peay university has really left me scratching my head. (I won’t even attempt to explain the confusion the rest of their name caused.) But I’m not confused about this: The popular Middle Eastern restaurant Jerusalem Cafe is opening in downtown Lawrence. Jerusalem Cafe is set to open at 1008 Massachusetts St., which is the spot that previously housed KC Smoke Burgers. Plans call for the restaurant to open early next week. Jerusalem Cafe operates a popular restaurant in the Westport area of Kansas City, Mo. My understanding is the ownership group of the Lawrence restaurant won’t be entirely the same as the Kansas City restaurant, but the establishments will be affiliated. Stephanie Garman, a manager for the Lawrence restaurant, told me she did her training at the Kansas City Jerusalem Cafe. And she said the Lawrence restaurant will use the same menu, although the Lawrence menu won’t be quite as large. “But we’re going to have all the favorites,” she said. She said that means hummus and gyros will be big parts of the menu. I didn’t get into other details with her, but the Kansas City restaurant also features dishes such as kabobs, baba ghanoush, falafel,

JERUSALEM CAFE is planning to open soon at 1008 Massachusetts St., the site recently vacated by KC Smoke Burgers. many combinations of olives and pita bread, and a dish I once fixed by accident: flaming cheese. As for KC Smoke Burgers, that restaurant — which also was a spin-off of a Kansas City establishment — closed at the end of January. It was operating in a crowded market of fancy hamburger places that include Dempsey’s Burger Pub, The Burger Stand and BurgerFi. As for Austin Peay State University — mascot the Governors — I now have figured out that KU’s first-round opponent is not located in Austin, nor Texas, but rather somewhere in Tennessee. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry

wishes I would have figured it out a bit earlier, but it was an honest mistake and the trunk had lots of air holes.

Another light on Sixth Street I perhaps may need to do more work to fix that brake problem because Sixth Street soon will have another stop light. As we’ve reported, plans for the Bauer Farm development — that’s the one with Starbucks, Sprouts and other businesses — long have called for a traffic signal at Sixth and Champion Lane. City commissioners now have approved the final piece of the puzzle to allow that work to be-

gin. Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting approved a bid for nearly $347,000 to install a traffic signal at Sixth and Champion Lane. The light, along with some adjacent sidewalk improvements, are set to begin construction in June, according to a city memo. A benefit district made up of surrounding property owners is paying for $150,000 of the project. KDOT also is providing funding for the project, according to the memo. — These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column , which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

Western U.S. pushes up new home sales figures By Josh Boak Associated Press

Washington — U.S. homebuyers in the West accounted for all of February’s increase in sales of new houses, possibly signaling an uneven real estate market heading into the spring buying season. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that new-home sales rose 2 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 512,000. All of the increase came from 38.5 percent surge in purchases in the West, which reversed a stiff 32.7 percent decline in January that had cut into overall sales. The rebound likely reflected a government report that can be extremely volatile on a monthly basis, clouding some views of where the construction and housing markets are heading at the start of the most intense months for home sales. The U.S. housing market looks somewhat more tempered after strong

growth in 2015. Sales in the opening two months of 2016 are running slightly below last year’s pace. Builder confidence has held steady despite a dip in sales expectations. Purchases of existing homes tumbled in February, with the prior two months of healthy sales likely straining already tight supplies. The market still has yet to fully rebound from the housing crisis of nearly a decade ago. New-home sales remain well below the historic 52-year average of 655,200, a figure that includes the build-out of the suburbs and influx of buyers after World War II. Subprime mortgages helped push up sales as high as 1.28 million in 2005, which in hindsight was an alarm sounding about an imbalanced, debt-ridden economy that shortly tumbled into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Sales of existing homes fell 7.1 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million, the National Association of Realtors said

Tuesday. The decline follows robust yearly sales rates of 5.47 million in January and 5.45 million in December, a new regulation had delayed closings in November. The limited supply of houses have pushed up prices and curbed sales. For existing homes, the median home sales price was $210,800 in February, a 4.4 percent annual increase from a year ago, while the number of listings fell 1.1 percent from a year ago. U.S. homebuilders are unlikely to alleviate the supply crunch. They are still optimistic about the housing market, but many anticipate a pullback in sales. The National Association of Home Builders/ Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday stayed at 58 in March for the second straight month. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor. The index had been in the low 60s for eight months until February.

Safety a concern in real estate

f asked to name the most dangerous jobs, few people would add selling real estate to the list. However, that perception has changed with the growing risk of attacks on agents. Realtors often meet potential clients for the first time by themselves at a home with just basic details exchanged over the phone. Sometimes they don’t even know the person’s last name. Plus, the nature of the real estate business requires realtors to be in the public eye through marketing and advertising that often includes their photos and phone numbers. The Lawrence Board of Realtors reports that safety is an important topic for members. Guidelines for realtor safety are given during the orientation class held for new members, and best practices and tips are shared with all members on an ongoing basis. “Most brokerages also have internal practices to ensure the safety of agents, such as a buddy system, phoning a friend, using speed dial settings on a cell phone, using a

Renovation dos and don’ts By Alan J. Heavens Associated Press

Among the roughly 1,350 homeowners surveyed nationally in late December and early January for TD Bank’s first Home Equity Sentiment Index, 56 percent of the respondents said they believed that their home’s value had increased, and 60 percent said they would tap that rising equity to finance renovations. Fifty-three percent of millennials said they also were considering such a move. Renovations at the top of most consumers’ lists include kitchens (42 percent), bathrooms (25 percent), and other household projects (11 percent). Given the popularity of

kitchen rehabs, here are some renovation dos and don’ts from Robin Wilson, author of “Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle.” l Don’t remodel your kitchen for a prospective buyer, because on resale you may not get back 100 percent of what you spend. Typical payback is 50 percent to 80 percent, with less personal, massmarket renovations (neutral colors, white cabinets) bringing the most return on investment. l Do create a list of “absolutes” before you walk into a kitchen-design meeting. If you are not sure beforehand what you want and don’t want, you are likely to be seduced into buying unneeded items.

l Do think about colors and styles before you walk onto a sales floor. Read design magazines and tear out photos in advance, or the sales rep may convince you that a certain bestseller is really a better choice — it could be the model the salesperson is trying to unload, or that he or she is getting a “special promotion” from the manufacturer. l Don’t design your kitchen with someone else’s life in mind. If you cook frequently and have a busy kitchen full of people, avoid countertop materials that scratch and stain easily or that need regular maintenance. Likewise, if you hardly ever cook, do you really need a six-burner stove and restaurantquality range?

Brewers outhomer Royals

Phoenix (ap) — Chris Carter and Martin Moldonado each hit three-run homers, Wily Peralta threw six strong innings, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals 9-2 on Thursday. Ryan Braun was a late scratch for the Brewers due to lower-back soreness. He had back surgery in the off-season and was slowly easing back into play (seven at-bats) without any setbacks before Thursday. Braun’s replacement, Eric Young Jr., hit a two-run homer. “We’re just going to be cautious,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said of his approach to Braun. “He won’t be in there tomorrow. We’ll see for Saturday. I don’t think it’s a red flag. I’m not concerned. We’re just going to be overly cautious at this point. I anticipate him being in there on Saturday.” Peralta, the Brewers’ No. 1 starter, had his best outing of the spring, allowing four hits and one run, a solo homer to Eric Hosmer. It was the third homer for Hosmer, who is now hitting .400. “I’m right where I want to be. I feel strong, healthy and now you work to maintain it. That’s all you can ask for,” Hosmer said. “(Royals manager) Ned (Yost) does a great job of easing us back into shape. This is the first week we’re playing three games in a row and it feels just right.” Reymond Fuentes added his third homer of the spring in the ninth inning for Kansas City. Starter Dillion Gee sailed through the first three innings before allowing the three-run homer to Moldonado in the fourth.

Starting time Royals: Gee allowed three hits in four innings, getting into trouble in the fourth with two walks, an RBI single by Jonathan Villar and Moldonado’s home run to left center. “I felt good early. That last inning I lost my release point and struggled with command,” Gee said. “I feel like I have thrown the ball better this spring than I have in other years. I’m healthy and feeling good where I’m at.” Brewers: Peralta entered the game with an 11.70 ERA but had his best start by far, allowing four hits and striking out three.

Griffin hasn’t been the same since his dazzling rookie season in Washington in 2012, when the former Heisman Trophy winner — possessed with a rocket arm, a tailback’s speed and endless swagger — took the league by storm. However, his next three seasons were curtailed by injury and clouded by controversy and the 26-year-old found himself without a team when Washington released him March 7. The Browns, who tried unsuccessfully to trade so they could draft him in 2012, are giving him another shot. “I’m just excited to come in and compete,” Griffin said.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Villanova too much for Miami Louisville, Ky. (ap) — The Villanova Wildcats keep looking for a better shot, not content with simply a good look at the basket. As a result, they’re putting on quite the clinic in the NCAA Tournament with their latest performance putting them into the Elite Eight for the first time since 2009. Ryan Arcidiacono and Kris Jenkins each scored 21 points, and No. 2 seed Villanova never trailed in routing third-seeded Miami, 92-69, on Thursday night in the South Region semifinal of the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats turned in their best shooting performance yet in this tournament, shooting 62.7 percent. “If any team is shooting the way we’re shooting right now, they’ll easily be the most dangerous team in the country,” Villanova senior forward Daniel Ochefu said. “But hopefully, we’ll keep shooting like that, so we can keep playing the way we are.” The Wildcats (32-5) earned their third trip to the regional final with coach Jay Wright and seventh overall, coming through with former coach Rollie Massimino, who led Villanova to the 1985 national championship, sitting nearby. It’s redemption after losses on the opening weekend each of the past two NCAA Tournaments.

MIAMI GUARD ANGEL RODRIGUEZ GETS AIRBORNE TO SAVE A NEAR STEAL by Villanova guard Ryan Arcidiacono. Villanova defeated Miami, 92-69, on Thursday night in Louisville, Ky. “These last couple years and a couple early exits wasn’t the best thing for our program, but I think we just remain humble and try to get back,” Arcidiacono said. “It’s just a great feeling.” Ochefu added 17 points, and Josh Hart had 14 for Villanova, which shot 62.7 percent (32 of 51). Miami (27-8) now is 0-3 in this round and 0-2 with coach Jim Larranaga. “They’re just an in-

LHS girls soccer cruises against Highland Park By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Facing a team that hasn’t won a game in more than a year, Lawrence High’s girls soccer team started fast and never looked back on Thursday against Topeka Highland Park. The Lions scored five goals in the first 10 minutes and rolled to a 10-0 victory at LHS, ending the game because of the mercy rule with 35 minutes left. LHS junior forward Skylar Drum completed a hat trick by the ninth minute, which included a score on a give-and-go with freshman forward Anna Chieu. Drum, who was a starter for the girls basketball team, said it doesn’t take long to adjust to playing soccer because “soccer is my favorite sport so that’s what I like to work on.” Along with Drum’s quick start, sophomore midfielder Sofia Dominguez scored her first varsity goals in the fifth and ninth minutes. On her first goal, she gathered a rebound at the top of the 18-yard box, after Drum hit the crossbar, and drilled a shot to the right side of the net. “We spread it out, and we had a lot of talking,” Drum said. “I was able to get it out to the wings and they could cross it back and score.” In the final 30 minutes of the first half, Lawrence’s Mary Carr, Mia Comparato, Carson Drake and Elaine Harris all scored goals for a 9-0 lead at halftime. Carr scored off of a corner kick when senior Erin Ventura gathered the ball in the box and set up Carr for an open shot. “I just told the girls

it’s pretty much a glorified practice,” LHS coach Matt McCune said. “We were able to work on set pieces, which was great because there’s so much we have to work on in a true practice. It’s also a great non-practice for where we can work on our shape.” Nearly five minutes into the second half, sophomore Maria Duncan ended the game with a goal assisted by Drum. “It felt good,” Drum said. “We got everyone involved and we got to work on things that we can’t simulate in practice.” The Lions only spent a few brief moments on their own half of the field, continually applying pressure on offense with 45 shots (32 on goal). Highland Park (0-2) was held without a shot, turning LHS goalkeeper Tori Mosakowski and defenders Leslie Ostronic, Bess Davison and Evann Seratte into mostly bystanders. Fellow defender Katelyn McIntyre helped out in the midfield, sending crosses into the box. “It was exciting to see because you always want to come out sharp, and the girls were hungry from the get-go,” McCune said. “But pretty much they stayed that way. It was evident once they saw what they could do that they wanted to keep that focus.” Playing much looser than their season opener, the Lions enjoyed the chance to cruise to a decisive victory. “Definitely got the jitters out and were more prepared,” Dominguez said. “We knew how it was going to go.” The Lions will travel to Baldwin at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

credible offensive team,” Larranaga said of Villanova. “We had no way to stop them.” Sheldon McClellan scored 26 points for Miami, tying a career-high making five threes. Angel Rodriguez added 13. Miami got here by beating a pair of doubledigit seeds, Buffalo and Wichita State. Villanova showed the team from the Atlantic Coast Conference why the Wildcats

were ranked No. 1 in the nation for the first time in program history earlier this season. It was the first game between the teams in the NCAA Tournament, and the first overall since March 2004, when both teams were in the Big East. They turned in a dizzying first half with both teams shooting 64 percent — or better — from the floor and were even sharper beyond the arc

MAKER’S MOVES

where they combined to hit 13 of 19. “Look at the numbers, it’s kind of crazy to think that was good defense,” Wright said. “But I’m very proud of the secondhalf defense. When you play great teams like Miami, that’s going to happen. We just got more stops than them.” Villanova led 43-37 at halftime with Jenkins coming through with the highlight shot of the

game, knocking down a three with his left foot on the edge of the logo covering midcourt that instantly drew comparisons online to shots by reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry. Villanova took control from the start by scoring the first eight points. The Wildcats also forced Miami into a bunch of turnovers early and scored some easy points off those mistakes. Villanova took its biggest lead at 29-14 on a threepointer by Jenkins with 8:35 left. “It was a bit of a surprise they came out on fire like that,” McClellan said. When Miami put together a 16-2 run that pulled the Canes within 31-30 on Rodriguez’s layup with 4:33 to go, Jenkins simply hit another three. Miami never got that close again.

Terp: ‘It just wasn’t our game’ By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — In the moments that followed Thursday’s 79-63 loss to top-seeded Kansas University in the Sweet 16 at KFC Yum! Center, the teary-eyed Maryland Terrapins were left lamenting what could have been. After a first half in which Maryland delivered the first punch and outplayed the Jayhawks much of the way, the Terps went to the locker room trailing by two. “Everything was going great for us, and I just felt like we should have had the lead,” freshman forward Diamond Stone said. “But Kansas is a great team, just like us. It really should’ve been two No. 1 seeds. But the better team won today. Kansas

laimon stole an inbounds pass from Devonté Graham with two seconds to play in the half and heaved a deep threepointer toward the rim. The shot looked on target

most of the way but fell short, and Kansas (33-4) went into the locker room clinging to a 36-34 lead. Stone said that shot, had it gone in, might have been the momentum

boost Maryland needed to keep punching in the second half. Instead, the miss gave Kansas something of a lift. That was felt throughout the Maryland lineup, as Stone and fellow forward Damonte Dodd said the Jayhawks’ toughness in the final 20 minutes proved to be the difference. Nowhere did that show up better than on the rebounding totals, where Kansas outrebounded a bigger, taller Maryland team 43-28 overall, 22-8 in the second half. “It was just effort,” said Stone, who played just 21 minutes because of foul trouble. “I didn’t have effort today, our bigs didn’t have effort today. It just wasn’t our game today. In the second half, they were the more physical team. They brought it

the second half, from the guards to the bigs.” Added Dodd: “We matched up well. We just didn’t answer back.” The loss dropped Maryland coach Mark Turgeon to 0-7 all-time against his alma mater and moved KU into the Elite Eight for the first time since 2012. KU will face second-seeded Villanova (32-5) at 7:49 p.m. Saturday. And, as much as Thursday’s loss stung, Turgeon said it was what KU represents today and not what the school means to his past, that made the loss at least a little easier to swallow. “We lost to the best team in the country, 33-4 now, No. 1 seed in the tournament,” Turgeon said. “They’ve just crushed people lately. And, in the end, it looks like they crushed us.”

boards against a tall fifthseeded Maryland team (27-5). “It’s the same mindset as always. I just want to attack.” He scored four points in a pivotal 9-0 run (Wayne Selden Jr. had five of his 19 in the surge) that busted a 43-43 tie and gave KU a nine-point advantage with 14:43 left. Ellis also had nine straight points for KU in a 9-5 run that opened a 59-48 lead. In other words, he was marvelous on a day Landen Lucas scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Frank Mason III hit for 11 points, five boards and four assists. KU was able to advance comfortably on a night Devonté Graham had five turnovers and just two points in 37 minutes. Turns out, Graham didn’t eat all day because of sickness, and he cramped during his 37-minute stint. “This is why he came back to school,” KU coach Bill Self said of Ellis, who toyed with the idea of entering the NBA Draft after his junior year. “He could have bolted

He couldn’t hurt himself by coming back to school. He has a chance to leave KU with a legacy that would allow him to be a hero there for a lifetime. When we got Perry, we knew he would be good,” Self added of the player who has hit 27 of 41 shots in three NCAA games this postseason. “He’s done some things that have allowed him to be great. It’s so good to see kids who spent time

in the program and gone through ups and downs experience some success this time of year.” Ellis acknowledged he and his teammates have taken to heart the “Countdown to Houston” banners that have been in the locker room “for some time now.” “We see that every day,” Ellis said. “It’s motivation for us that the days are counting down. It’s motivation.” Freshman Carlton Bragg Jr., who contributed eight rebounds in 10 minutes —

every rebound counted against a tough Maryland team — said Ellis was “amazing. He helped us a lot getting buckets. That’s what he does. “He keeps getting closer and closer to his goal,” Bragg added of the Final Four. “I think he’s ready. He’s going to get it.” Noted senior Jamari Traylor, who had two points in 10 minutes: “Perry was Perry. As he’s been playing lately ... he’s been so hot. Just being aggressive, getting fouls, knocking down shots. Get-

ting in the lane. I feel like there wasn’t too much he couldn’t do this game.” The Jayhawks managed a 36-34 lead at halftime after hitting 40.5 percent of their shots. That heated up to 56 percent the second half. Anything said at halftime with the Terps hanging close? “Wayne and Frank were telling us, ‘This is our home. Let’s stay here another two, three days,’” Bragg said. “They were taking charge before the game.” Next up is Villanova, a 92-69 winner over Miami. “They like to press, run a lot. They are some tough dudes,” Bragg said. Noted Self: “I’ve seen them sparingly on TV, watched some games going into this week. Their guards are so clever and good. We’ll have to do some things to not allow them to play in their comfort zone. They were so good on offense today. They create havoc defensively and get confidence offensively because their defense is so aggressive and sound.” Note: KU junior Brannen Greene did not dress for the game because of back spasms. Self isn’t counting on getting much from Greene in the Elite Eight game.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CARLTON BRAGG JR., LEFT, TRIES TO KEEP A POSSESSION ALIVE in the Jayhawks’ 79-73 victory over Maryland in a Sweet 16 game Thursday in Louisville, Ky.

NOTEBOOK

Miles recalls his last Terp matchup By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — Like Kansas University’s current basketball players, Aaron Miles played in a huge NCAA Tournament game against Maryland. “No bueno,” Miles said with a smile, referring to KU’s 97-88 Final Four semifinal loss to the Terps on March 30, 2002, in Atlanta. Miles, KU’s current assistant director of student-athlete development, scored 12 points with 10 assists in that game against the Terps. The 32-year-old Miles — his pro career is on hold a year at least as he recovers from hip surgery — has enjoyed working with KU’s players this season. He’s not allowed to coach at practice in accordance with NCAA rules but certainly can give pointers to the Jayhawk guards now and then. “One thing I love about this team is something as a player I miss ... that ca-

maraderie, that brotherhood,” Miles said. “I have that with our coaching staff. “You see them (players) laughing at dinnertime and enjoying each other’s company. You see when somebody is having some success, they are cheering ’em on and being genuinely happy and Miles caring for them. I think that’s huge.” Miles, who along with wife, Mikki, have sons Aaron Jr., Adonis, Asaiah and Avion, last played for a pro team in Russia two seasons ago. “Aaron was one of the best guards that played at Kansas. I think he’s ninth all-time in NCAA history in assists and a big-time winner,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He tore his labrum in his hip this past year, and we brought him on to let him do rehab

and to kind of learn what coaching is all about. “He’s great. He’s strictly in an administrative role, but certainly I think having him around has been good with our players just from an approach standpoint. He’s not a coach, but I think that he’s been really, really good with helping guys kind of understand from a mindset what it takes to be a really good player at this level.” Of Miles, sophomore Devonté Graham said: “He’s helped me out a lot. He’s one of the guys that just comes and talks to me, just about life, other than basketball. He texts me all the time, just about the game, how I feel. During the game he talks to me. What am I seeing on the court? ‘Is there anything you think we can run that will get us a bucket?’ Just trying to help me out. Noticing things on the court. Putting guys in position to where they can score and try to figure stuff out like that.”

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF DISPLAYS HIS FRUSTRATION in the first half.

Haase a candidate at Stanford?: Former KU guard Jerod Haase, the fourth-year head coach at UAB, is one of the leading candidates to fill the Stanford vacancy, CBSsports. com reported Thursday. Haase, 41, from South Lake Tahoe, Calif., led UAB to a school-record 26 wins against seven losses this past season. Stanford fired Johnny Dawkins last week after eight seasons. CBS also reported Stanford is considering hiring former Stanford player Brevin Knight, a broadcaster with the Memphis Grizzlies. Also, former Stanford coach Trent Johnson recently was fired as head coach at TCU. UAB is scheduled to participate in the CBE Classic next season with KU, Georgia and George Washington. Pairings have not yet been announced. Of the Stanford rumors, Haase told WJOX radio: “I’m happy (at

UAB). I love it here. It is crazy, there are so many distractions all the time. It is something that we’re trying to build something here. It’s a reflection of what the assistant coaches have done, the student athletes and things like that. ... I think in a lot of different ways, there’s a lot of respect and things for what we’re doing here, which is good.” l

Nice town: Self had never taken a KU team to Louisville before this week. “I haven’t been here that often. We played here when I was in college and then I coached here when I was assistant at Okie State, and I’ve been to the Derby a couple of times. So that’s about been my only experiences here in the city,” Self said. “But people here are nice, very friendly. And certainly the convenience of having the hotels and everything right here close to the Yum! Center I think is great.” l

Davis talk: KU broad-

casting legend Bob Davis arrived at KU during Mark Turgeon’s sophomore season. “Scrappy,” Davis said Thursday, asked what comes to mind about Maryland coach Turgeon as a Jayhawk player. “He and ‘Pipe’ (Chris Piper) were down to Washburn and KU (as their college choices),” Davis added. Of Davis, who is retiring after 32 years as Voice of the Jayhawks, Turgeon said: “Really not a big fan of Bob’s, to be honest with you,” he joked. “No. I tell you what, time goes fast. I think Bob was there … my sophomore year was his first year at Kansas. Then I hear he’s retiring. It goes way too fast. I watched his son, Steven, grow up and be a part of all of it. “So happy for him. He can go out on his terms. He’s been great. He’s been lucky. He’s got to call a lot of victories. Final Fours, national championships. He’s had a nice run. We had a great relationship. I’m happy for him and he’s had a great career.”

OKLAHOMA FORWARD KHADEEM LATTIN DUNKS as Texas A&M center Tyler Davis looks on. The Sooners defeated A&M, 77-63, on Thursday night in Anaheim, Calif.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Oklahoma rips A&M The Associated Press

West Regional Oklahoma 77, Texas A&M 63 Anaheim, Calif. — The Oklahoma Sooners proved they can thrive quite nicely in the NCAA Tournament even if Buddy Hield isn’t going off. Because of that, the Sooners are one win away from returning to the Final Four for the first time in 14 seasons. Jordan Woodard scored 22 points, and Hield had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead the second-seeded Sooners to a romp over third-seeded and cold-shooting Texas A&M in the NCAA West Regional on Thursday. It was a nice display of teamwork by the Sooners (28-7), who had five players in double figures as they advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2009. “That’s even better,” Hield said. “I’m able to have fun around there and watch my teammates make shots and make plays.” Hield had scored 27 and 36 points in the Sooners’ first- and secondround victories. “We shared the ball really well,” he said. “I’m real proud of the guys for stepping up and making shots. We were just taking advantage of opportunities. We tried to driveand-kick, and when they doubled somebody, I tried to make the right pass.” Oklahoma lost to North Carolina in the South Regional final in 2009. Oklahoma is trying to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2002, when it lost to Indiana in the national semifinals. Tyler Davis scored 17 for A&M (28-9), which reached the Sweet 16 with a thrilling doubleovertime victory against Northern Iowa after rallying from 12 points down in the final 44 seconds of regulation. The Sooners made sure it would require a big comeback in this one. They blew open a close game by going on a 19-4 run during the last 7:42 of the first half to take a 45-26 lead. The Sooners forced the Aggies into bad shots and turnovers, and Woodard was the catalyst on offense. Woodard started the decisive first half run with a three-pointer and had another shot from behind the arc with 3:15 to go. He also fed Khadeem Lattin for a slam dunk and then hit a sweet, offbalance bank shot as the shot clock was close to

expiring with about 20 seconds left. The Aggies went more than seven minutes without a field goal. Tonny Trocha-Morelos made a layup to pull them to 2420 with 9:32 to go before halftime.

Oregon 82, Duke 68 Anaheim, Calif. — Dillon Brooks scored 22 points, and Oregon advanced to the brink of its first Final Four in 77 years with a victory over defending national champion Duke. Elgin Cook had 16 points and nine rebounds for the top-seeded Ducks (31-6), who will meet Oklahoma on Saturday. After a season-long rise in the Pacific Northwest, the Pac-12 champion Ducks emphatically arrived on the national stage with a strong second-half rally to beat the mighty Blue Devils (25-11) for the first time in school history. Freshman Brandon Ingram scored 24 points, but Duke fell short of its third Elite Eight trip in five years. The Blue Devils lost five of their final 10 games. No longer just a football school, Oregon is flying high after comfortably holding off Duke for one of the biggest wins in the program’s history. Oregon was the champion of the first NCAA Tournament in 1939, but hasn’t been back to the Final Four since.
