More than a ‘shovel full of dirt’ Justice Matters assembly presses leaders on affordable housing

the criminal justice system, among other issues. Mayor Mike Amyx and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden were asked whether they’d agree to: the city investing $15 million over the next five years for affordable housing; allotting funding to affordable housing through the city’s capital improvement plan; allocating $1.5 million to affordable housing for 2017; and prioritizing the elimination of the affordable housing wait list by Jan. 1, 2019.

City and county leaders expressed support — but didn’t make specific commitments — on what was asked of them in front of almost 2,000 people at an annual Justice Matters assembly Wednesday. The consortium of 22 local religious congregations asked city and county leaders at its Nehemiah Action Assembly to invest in the affordable housing trust fund and hire an independent consulting firm to help in a review of

Lawrence firm lands supercomputer deal Air Force invests $750,000 more in KalScott

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @NikkiWentling

Supercomputers have won “Jeopardy!,” beat a world champion in chess and will teach you how to cook. And now, the technology is being harnessed to streamline the United

States Air Force acquisitions process — an effort that will be undertaken by a small Lawrence business. Lawrence-based KalScott Engineering Inc. announced Wednesday it was selected

to finish building artificial intelligence, called SOPHIA, for the Air Force. KalScott, owned by two Kansas University graduates, was chosen last summer to do some preliminary

work training a supercomputer — or “cognitive thinking machine” — that could understand Defense Department contracting Please see DEAL, page 2A

The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission voted Wednesday night to recommend the design development document for the proposed East Ninth Street arts corridor. The recommendation comes with the request that the commission “continue to review the public artwork through the technical phase as we would any other public art,” said commissioner Patrick Kelly. Components for the project include light displays, sound signals, native grasses used as storm water management systems and large rocks arranged to create “intimate gathering areas,” explained Josh Shelton, of the Kansas City-based design firm el dorado inc. The plan, approved last month at the 12th and final meeting of the East Ninth Citizen Advisory Committee, would also create a three-lane roadway from Massachusetts Street before paring down to two lanes at Rhode Island Street. Between Rhode Island and Delaware streets, the road would contain two lanes, with sidewalks on each side and an 8-foot shared-use path for both pedestrians and cyclists. There would also be parallel parking on the south side of Ninth Street. Shelton pointed out that the design team was only contracted to meet with the Citizen Advisory Committee six times. Instead, East Ninth became more and more about meeting the “diverse set of conditions” in the “emerging set of economies and dwellers” in East Lawrence. Throughout the process, “we started to realize (that) balancing amenities really meant balancing perspectives, balancing values,” Shelton said, referring to residents’ and stakeholders’ concerns about parking, Please see NINTH, page 2A

Free State Festival picks Public Enemy for free downtown show

he 2016 Free State Festival will feature a free outdoor concert by hip-hop group Public Enemy, led by artists Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Organizers on Wednesday announced the event will take place Saturday, June 25, outside the Lawrence Arts Center on New Hampshire Street, between Ninth and 10th streets. Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic performed to a large crowd during a similar

outdoor concert during last year’s festival. Public Enemy has been an active force in American music for nearly 30 years, beginning with the group's 1987 debut album, "Yo! Bum Rush the Show," which Rolling Stone described as heralding "hiphop's great leap forward." Their sophomore effort, 1988’s "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back," was included in the New York Times' list of the "25 Most

KalScott gained national attention through Air Force Times, Fortune and the Washington Post. Saripalli said he and co-owner Tom Sherwood may also get the opportunity to meet Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, which he said would be the apex of their careers. Since last summer, KalScott has been shoveling tens of thousands of pages of contracts and contract regulations into IBM’s Watson. Watson, a cognitive tool, has the capability to gain an understanding of nuances, something that will be needed in answering questions about Air Force acquisitions, Saripalli has said. SOPHIA will have the ability to engage in a back-and-forth with businesses applying for defense contracts, as well as government employees who work in procurement. It will answer in a natural language, similar to knowledge navigators such as Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. Saripalli and Sherwood have previously been selected for jobs with NASA and the Navy to develop drones. They’re applying the same type of artificial intelligence they used in the unmanned air vehicles to train the supercomputer.

rules and answer questions about them audibly. Suman Saripalli, a co-owner of KalScott, said Wednesday the firm received the final go-ahead to complete the work. The announcement came with $750,000 more in funding. The finished product — which will act as a “very intelligent assistant,” Saripalli said — is intended to help businesses and government employees navigate the Air Force’s complex procurement process, which has been found to discourage small and innovative businesses from partnering with the federal government. With more businesses participating in the process, it would make contracts — and prices — more competitive, the Air Force has said in a news release about the project. Saripalli said SOPHIA would reduce the “overall cost to the taxpayer” and accelerate how innovative and technologically advanced federal agencies become. KalScott will develop and test SOPHIA this year and through 2017. After it received an initial $150,000 to begin the work last summer,

The Rev. Randy Weinkauf likened the city’s affordable housing efforts in 2015 to a “shovel full of dirt” that attempted “to fill an enormous hole.” So far this year the city has spent $100,000 toward a three-home affordable housing complex in East Lawrence and another $100,000 for a new transitional housing program operated by the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority. “We need to think bigger,” Weinkauf said. “Can we find the will to put in more than just a shovel of dirt?” Both Soden and Amyx prefaced their answers by saying they were limited in how they could respond. City Attorney Toni Wheeler had told them at their City Commission meeting on Tuesday to not make commitments before the budgeting process for 2017 began. “I campaigned on not subsidizing luxury housing, and affordable housing has been my priority,” Soden said. About the $1.5 million request for affordable housing in 2017, Soden said she would “love to put as much in there as we possibly can” but that she “can’t say a dollar amount” and “we have a lot of other issues we have to deal with, as well.” Soden agreed at last year’s assembly to commit to eliminating the affordable housing waiting list by 2019, and she agreed again Wednesday. Amyx said simply, “I will work as hard as I possibly can on the need for affordable homes.” “At this point I do have to say one thing, as I look at this $15 million, it may take a longer period of time, but I want everybody to understand it has become a priority to the city,” he said. Amyx went on to say new City Manager Tom Markus would help lead the city’s efforts on affordable housing. In recent meetings, Markus has suggested including affordable housing as a requirement for resi-

bike lanes and ADA accessibility. “It was a very delicate balance.” Although commission chair Katherine Simmons prefaced the voting by explaining the group’s responsibility to judge the artistic and cultural aspects of the plan, input from the audience echoed that of many past East Ninthrelated meetings. Parking, it seemed, was still a concern.

Markus has also said he’d recommend a gradual increase in funding for affordable housing, and that he had told Justice Matters coordinators that their previous request for $3 million in 2017 would be too much with which to start. A couple of organizers, including the Rev. Verdell Taylor, noted the absence of county commissioners from the meeting. “At this time we would normally call on decisionmakers to step forward; we would ask the county commissioners to step forward,” Taylor said. Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug was in attendance, and he was asked about the process of reviewing the county’s criminal justice system during an ongoing process by the County Commission to appraise the need to expand the Douglas County jail and construct a mental health crisis intervention center. The crowd applauded when they found out the County Commission agreed earlier Wednesday that the goal of placing a ballot question about the jail expansion and crisis intervention center in November was not realistic. One of Justice Matters’ requests was to delay a vote until there had been a review of “safe and effective alternatives” to incarceration. Though a warning about possible tension and discomfort preceded the meeting, there was only one outburst from the audience. When asked to ensure a voting member of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council was a specialist on race issues

who could address whether a disproportionate number of African Americans were incarcerated in Douglas County, Weinaug said at least one member of the council was appointed because of his focus on how race issues play into the criminal justice system. An audience member yelled out, “So, the answer is no?” to which Weinaug said, “The answer is, I think we’ve done that.” Also on Wednesday, representatives from the Douglas County Child Development Association, KU School of Public Research and Partnership, Head Start of Lawrence and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department agreed to support Justice Matters’ request for childhood trauma and resilience training to be provided to at least 100 professionals. Weinkauf said the training would cost about $100,000, some of which has already been donated. Attendees of Wednesday’s assembly also spent time applauding the achievements of the past year. At the first Nehemiah Action Assembly in 2015, the group had asked for the creation of an affordable housing trust fund and advisory board — both of which have since been established. Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib also agreed last year that all Lawrence police officers and relevant staff would receive Crisis Intervention Training by 2018. CIT training started last year and is expected to be held twice per year in 2016 and 2017.

Phil Collison, a member of the Citizen Advisory Committee and the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, didn’t mince words in his analysis. “We’re heading toward a parking nightmare,” he warned, suggesting that bike lanes be moved to Eighth and 10th streets to free up parking space on Ninth Street. “This plan doesn’t speak to me as the greatest solution, and I feel like I’m being asked to settle for less.” John Hachmeister, the only commissioner to vote against the recom-

mendation (not including Kate Dineen, who recused herself on the grounds of her role as associate artist in the East Ninth Project), advised caution. “The thing we should be cautious about is, if not just the artwork but if the entire concept creates problems, it imperils future public art in Lawrence. It makes public art unpalatable for the community,” said Hachmeister, an associate professor in

Zoo elephant lawsuit ends Wichita (ap) — A legal fight has ended over the Sedgwick County Zoo’s new African elephants. Animal-rights group Friends of Animals dropped its lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approving the transport of 17 elephants from Swaziland to zoos in Wichita, Dallas and Omaha, The Wichita Eagle reports. Friends of Animals’ lawyer Jennifer Best said dropping the suit was a tough decision that came down to how to best use the group’s time and resources. “We decided that the best way to help these elephants at this point wasn’t through the court but instead working with

our experts on a plan to better inform people about the lives that the elephants now have to live,” she said. The Connecticutbased advocacy group filed the suit in February after the agency approved the transfer in January. The group argued that the agency didn’t consider the mental and physical toll on the elephants. The zoos joined the government’s side and went ahead with the transfer about a month ago as a judge denied the group’s last-ditch effort to stop it. Best said the group will work to halt future transfers of African elephants to American zoos.

About 3,000 volunteers are signed up to help with projects By Sylas May

at 330 job sites this year, said Big Event director of community relations, Tina Woods, a KU senior from Galena. The event is in its sixth year, although the 2015 Big Event — while planned — didn’t actually happen. The 2015 Big Event was canceled the afternoon before because of thunderstorms in the forecast. Organizers had lined up more than 3,600 volunteers to help with projects at more than 300 homes and other sites. It was not rescheduled because, basically, it lacked an equally big contingency plan. This year, Woods said, Big Event planners are ready, just in case.

While she’s optimistic there will be no need, if the April 16 event were to be rained out the Big Event would be moved to April 30. “All of our planning leading into this event has included conversations about a rain date,” Woods said. That includes informing participants and sponsors to be sure they have the backup date penciled in — again, just in case. Woods said the Big Event is funded entirely with donations, either cash or in-kind donations such as snacks or tools. And there are a lot of tools, she said. In addition to about 3,000 new gloves that went unused last

year, the group has been storing hundreds of rakes, hedge trimmers and other tools and cleaning products to use this year. “A unique thing that increases the Big Event’s capacity to serve the community is that we’re able to provide a lot of the tools needed,” Woods said. All job sites for this year already have been scheduled, but Woods said community members looking for help in the future should check the Big Event website next spring for information on how to get on the list, thebigeventku.com. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

When Brogan Moroney arranged a philanthropy event for his fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, three years ago, he had no idea what a positive impact it would have in his life. Moroney decided to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County to arrange an event, “Big for a Day,” where children who participate in Big Brothers Big Sisters would come to his fraternity to hang out for a day. As someone who always wanted a little brother, Moroney enjoyed the event so much that he decided to become a permanent ‘big.’ “I’ve been involved in a lot of other volunteer organizations and I really liked how Big Brothers Big Sisters is set up.

When Moroney’s father was killed by a drunk driver in 2014, Malachi called him every week to check in with him and make sure he was doing okay. “He even sent me a card and it was by far the most meaningful one I received. Coming from someone that young, you don’t think that they’d be thinking of me, but he was,” said Moroney. For Moroney, volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters has helped him expand his outlook on life. “Being a mentor helped me realized that there’s a bigger picture than just yourself and that you’re only a small part of it,” said Moroney.

pact you have directly. It’s more than just community service. You get to develop a cool personal relationship with someone,” said Moroney. Two years ago, Moroney got matched with his ‘little,’ Malachi. Since

then, the two have developed a close friendship. Moroney and Malachi watch KU basketball games together, and Moroney has been teaching Malachi how to drive, but what they both enjoy the most is

when they just hang out at Moroney’s house and talk about life. “We’ll be lifelong friends I’m sure. We help each other. It’s not volunteering to me, it’s more like mentoring or hanging out with a

anyone to come by to see me. My hair was coming out in chunks.” Reed says she didn’t want her granddaughter, Mia, who is 6, to see her without her hair. But when Mia did see her, the little girl simply kissed her on top of her bald head and said, “It’s OK, Grandma. I love you, and it’s going to be OK.” “In another minute my grandson, Markus, came over and rubbed my head. He asked, ‘Grandma, where’s your hair?’ “I said, ‘It’s gone, Markus. The medicine made it fall out.’ That’s all he needed to know. ‘OK,’ he said. “And you know what?” Reed says, remembering that turning point. “It

was all right. That made it for me. I made up my mind, ‘I have got to be there for them.’ They love their grandma, and I love them. They are some pretty cool kids.” Reed says that during the hard days of chemotherapy her doctor and nurse would ask how she was doing. “I’d tell them, ‘My story has already been written.’ When I came into this world, God had already numbered my days. There is nothing I can do to change that. Going through this cancer is just another chapter in my life. All I can do is thank the Lord for my days and talk to him every day. I don’t know what is going to

happen in my life, but I trust him.” Then, about the time Reed thought she’d almost finished chemotherapy came the news that she needed another round. “They promised me that this set of treatments would be easier and it really was.” Reed finished chemo and began radiation three weeks later. By Thanksgiving 2015, she was finished with her treatment. “I got through it. It’s done. I am glad it’s all over with. They can’t promise me it won’t come back, of course. But now it’s time that I get on with this life. I have grandbabies to take care of.”

Reed says she is grateful for the care she received at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. “They were all so good to me. I love my oncologist, Dr. Sharon Soule, and my nurse, Lori Winfrey. Everybody was so good to me. “They treated me like I was gold. They treated me like I meant something.” Throughout treatment Reed asked the Lord to help her make it to her 53rd birthday in January 2016. That day she had a great big party with her girls and her grandkids. “I knew if I could make it to that day, I could make it way beyond that,” she says. “I have no complaints.”

Commission: Zoning report will give county direction By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Douglas County Commissioners said Wednesday a report on the county’s zoning and codes department — which, among other things, recommended that the county require contractors to be licensed — provided the direction they sought. “I think we have something to work with going forward,” County Commission Chairman Jim Flory said. “That was what we wanted, to look forward rather than backward.” Commissioners also said they were reassured by the leadership of Sean Reid, who started in January as director of zoning and codes. Reid provided overviews at the meeting on issues of contractor licensing and updating county codes, which were addressed in the report. Reid has addressed some of the report’s recommendations since taking the department’s reins three months ago, said Beth Tatarko, of consulting firm Austin Peters Group, who presented the report to the commission. The $9,180 contract with Austin Peters Group came about after questions arose about the many exemptions to county building codes given to a rural Douglas County project undertaken by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Although the report Tatarko shared Wednesday doesn’t address what is referred to in its text as the “Kobach case,” it acknowledges that the incident led to the firm’s review of the department. The report does address issues of the department’s fairness,

Jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

During commissioner comments Wednesday, County Commission Chairman Jim Flory said there wasn’t enough time for the Coordinating Council to complete that task in order to put a question before voters in November. “It became obvious to me after the first meeting of the Coordinating Council and the scope of things it will be looking at, it’s going to take some time to even look at the proposals we have on the table,” he said. “It seems to me the probability of getting this on the ballot in November is very unlikely.” Commissioners Mike

professionalism and responsiveness that grew from the incident, Tatarko said. The report recommends 25 specific improvements the county should make. Recommendations include: l Establishing a one-day permit program for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and demolition permits. l Setting new, tighter timelines for the issuance of a number of permits. l Reviewing use of online applications. l Modifying staffing to correspond with peak customer demand. l Conducting an internal staff review of the permitting and inspection processes. l Hosting quarterly informational sessions with contractors. l Offer workshops on the permitting process for the general public. l Publishing the methods used to determine fees. l Providing applicants a guidebook with department policies and procedures. Of particular interest to commissioners was the report’s recommendation the county require contractors to be licensed. Reid said contractor licensing would help with consistency by establishing standards among builders and creating more opportunities to educate contractors on the department’s policies. It would end the competitive advantage those “working out of the back of a pickup” enjoy over legitimate contractors who pay insurance and workers’ compensation and invest in continuing education, he said. His former employer of 10 years, Johnson County, provided a model for contractor licensing, Reid said. What made that

nationally recognized program unique was an educational component in which national experts presented on building trends to inspectors, contractors, architects and planners, he said. In response to a question from commissioners, Reid said contractor licensing would not interfere with the right of homeowners to act as general contractors on private projects on their properties. A number of organizations provide contractor licensing, Reid said. That would relieve the county of licensing expenses, but would require department staff to verify that contractors were licensed before issuing permits, he said. Bobbie Flory, executive director of the Lawrence Home Builders Association, was in favor of requiring contractors to be licensed. The city of Lawrence had recently taken that step with a measure that was developed with input from Johnson County, she said. The report concludes its recommendations by advising staff to review the findings and prioritize those that could be implemented in the next 12 months. Tatarko said there was “low-hanging fruit” among the recommendations that staff could address quickly. Commissioners were satisfied with that approach, noting the department was entering its busiest season. “It becomes about setting priorities,” Commissioner Mike Gaughan said. “I think it’s a conversation for staff about what they have the capacity to accomplish.”

Gaughan and Nancy Thellman agreed the timeline was too tight. “When you tally everything we have in formation, it’s so important to get it right,” Thellman said. “I don’t disagree we need to let the council take the time to get it right.” Flory, who is not seeking re-election and will leave the County Commission in January, said the delay in the referendum shouldn’t be open-ended. “Even though I won’t be here in the spring, I think that is a good target either with a special election on mail-in ballot,” he said. “I mean spring 2017, not 2020.” Because of his impending departure from the commission, Flory suggested Gaughan replace him in the Coordinating Council position his fellow

commissioners appointed him to last month. “After that first meeting, it seemed clear to me the initial meetings are when members are getting to know one another and gaining trust with each other,” he said. “It’s an ongoing process. I really think the commissioner on the council needs to be there for the long term.” After Gaughan’s appointment to the Coordinating Council, Flory said he would not be stepping away from the issues of the county’s criminal justice system, jail expansion or the mental health crisis center and volunteered to serve on appropriate Coordinating Council subcommittees.

Man faces charges after alleged ‘lewd comments’ to dispatcher

Lawrence man is accused of falsely calling emergency responders and of having drug paraphernalia after police said he was overly familiar with a dispatcher. The 35-year-old man faces charges of giving a false alarm, interference with a law enforcement officer and possession of a controlled substance. Just before 2 a.m. Wednesday, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 4600 block of West Sixth Street for a report of a man who called dispatchers and made “lewd comments,” said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads in an email.

Although the caller gave dispatch false information about who he was, officers were able to identify him, Rhoads said. It was also discovered that the man had several outstanding, unrelated warrants. Once they contacted the man, officers found prescription medication not prescribed to him and paraphernalia used to inject drugs, Rhoads said. The man was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $3,750 in bond. — This is an excerpt from Conrad Swanson’s Lights & Sirens column, which appears at LJWorld.com.

Failed class creates drama for middle schooler Dear Annie: I am a middle school student, and I signed up for drama at the beginning of the semester. I’ve been working really hard at it. The problem is, I failed one of my classes (out of seven). Because of that, I am not allowed to participate in drama. I have a speaking role with 17 lines and I don’t think they can replace me in such a short time. This really upsets me, especially because in the high school I’ll be attending, you only need to pass four classes to participate in drama. What’s worse is that they didn’t give me or my parents any warning about how close I was to failing. I did know that I wasn’t doing well in that class, and I was trying to bring up my grade. But I have anxiety issues and get panic attacks when I try to talk to teachers or people of authority

schools hold students accountable. You can try talking to the drama teacher to see if he or she would intervene on your behalf, and you also can talk to the teacher who gave you the failing grade, explaining that you were working hard to improve and didn’t realize this would happen. If you have anxiety about talking to authority figures, try imagining that you are in a play and this is what your character does. It’s good practice. But if this is the policy of the school, there isn’t much you can do. Consider it a learning experience, and keep it in mind for high school, when you can try out for drama and be motivated to put your grades first. We know you’ll do better.

John Cena’s reality show is absurd At what point does hypermacho patriotic bombast collapse into absurd burlesque? Generally, it’s about the time the professional wrestler opens his mouth. World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena hosts tonight’s premiere of “American Grit” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). Like numerous other elimination series, four leaders choose teams of four participants to compete in tests of endurance and teamwork to win $1 million. But these leaders have been c h o s e n from elite military units. We have a Navy SEAL, an Army Ranger, a Purple Heart recipient and a Marine sergeant. The competitors are beyond gung-ho. There’s Ashley, the Marine’s daughter, who feels her father’s patriotism “in her blood.” Brooke is a self-described obstacle course junkie. Cameron wants to be a pro wrestler. There’s also a bikini bodybuilder, a would-be Olympian, a triathlete, a roller-derby champion, a “No Excuses” fitness instructor, a former NFL star, a police SWAT commander and a guy who calls himself “The Machine.” Let’s not forget the bearded lumberjack! What is this, The Village People? “American Grit” represents the strangest collision of military culture and reality TV camp since the 2012 flameout of NBC’s “Stars Earn Stripes,” hosted by Gen. Wesley Clark. If anything, “American Grit” has an even weirder tone. Its emphasis on creating a caste of the super-fit, separate and apart from mere mortals, is best expressed by competitor Chris Krueger. During his introduction, he spits out his disdain for what used to be called the Common Man. “Normal people are weak and stupid,” says the self-described trainer to the stars. I guess Fox doesn’t think “normal” people watch TV. Tonight’s other highlights O Hodgins faces a rough adjustment on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

School finance A new plan would make major changes in the state’s system for funding K-12 schools in Kansas.

hile waiting to see how one new school finance bill will hold up in court, Kansas legislators already are looking at another plan that would make far more sweeping changes in the way K-12 education is funded in the state. The new plan makes some significant changes, some of which drew immediate concern. Key among those were a provision that would allow parents to use tax funds to pay for private schools and another that would bar districts from using state funds to pay for extracurricular activities or food service for students. Under the bill, parents could receive an amount equal to 70 percent of the per-pupil aid in their school district and use that money to pay for private or home schooling. Although officials with the Kansas Association of School Boards said the plan would result in state money being spent on private education that lacks the accountability required of public schools, the authors of the bill see it as a step toward educational choice. “It’s taxpayers’ money, and they should have a say in how it’s spent,” said Rep. Ron Highland, a Wamego Republican who chairs the House Education Committee. What about all the Kansas taxpayers who want their tax money spent on public schools? Do they get a say? Authors of the bill apparently see the elimination of funding for extracurricular activities and school lunch programs as a way to focus state money on core educational functions, but losing the opportunities offered by various activities and having hungry children in class isn’t an acceptable tradeoff. If local districts are left to fund extracurricular activities on their own, equity issues seem almost certain to arise. Some districts would be able to afford many more activities than other districts, and if some districts saw a need to charge students to participate in activities, they might be seen as restricting opportunities for low-income students. The equity issues that have concerned the Kansas Supreme Court also may be aggravated by a provision that would allow local districts to levy a property tax for up to five years, with no limit but subject to voter approval. The bill would return to a per-pupil funding system based primarily on the district’s size and the premise that per-pupil costs are higher in smaller districts. Districts under 400 students would receive $8,490 in base aid per student, while districts of 2,000 or more would receive $5,763 per student. Adjustments to that aid would be made according to how many low-income students and students needing bilingual services are in the district. Highland said the bill was introduced this month “for everyone to look at and digest” and likely will be discussed when the Legislature reconvenes on April 27. The bill’s drastic changes already are causing some heartburn among education circles. It’s good that lawmakers and school officials will have ample time to consider the ramifications of the measure on the state’s K-12 system.

Cyberwar redefines aggression Washington — There is a consensus that aggression by one nation against another is a serious matter, but there is no comparable consensus about what constitutes aggression. Waging aggressive war was one charge against Nazi leaders at the 1946 Nuremberg war crimes trials, but 70 years later it is unclear that aggression, properly understood, must involve war, as commonly understood. Or that war, in today’s context of novel destructive capabilities, must involve “the use of armed force,” which the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court says is constitutive of an “act of aggression.” Cyberskills can serve espionage — the surreptitious acquisition of information — which is older than nations and not an act of war. Relatively elementary cyberattacks against an enemy’s command-and-control capabilities during war was a facet of U.S. efforts in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, in the Balkans in 1999 and against insurgents — hacking their emails — during the “surge” in Iraq. In 2007, Israel’s cyberwarfare unit disrupted Syrian radar as Israeli jets destroyed an unfinished nuclear reactor in Syria. But how should we categorize cyberskills employed not to acquire information, and not to supplement military force, but to damage another nation’s physical infrastructure? In World War II, the United States and its allies sent fleets of bombers over Germany to destroy impor-

“

Clearly the United States needs a cyberdeterrent capacity — the ability to do unto adversaries anything they might try to do unto us.” tant elements of its physical infrastructure — steel mills, ball bearing plants, etc. Bombers were, however, unnecessary when the United States and Israel wanted to destroy some centrifuges crucial to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. They used the Stuxnet computer “worm” to accelerate or slow processes at Iran’s Natanz uranium-enrichment facility, damaging or even fragmenting centrifuges necessary for producing weapons-grade material. According to Slate magazine columnist Fred Kaplan, by early 2010, approximately 2,000 of 8,700 “were damaged beyond repair,” and even after the Iranians later learned what was happening, another 1,000 of the then-remaining 5,000 “were taken out of commission.” For fascinating details on the episodes mentioned

above, and to understand how deeply we have drifted into legally and politically uncharted waters, read Kaplan’s new book, “Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War.” Three of its lessons are that cyberwar resembles war, much of it is very secret and everything essential to the functioning of modern society is vulnerable. The things controlled by or through computers include not just military assets (command-and-control systems, the guidance mechanisms of smart munitions, etc.) but also hospitals, electric power grids, water works, the valves of dams and the financial transactions of banks. And, Kaplan notes, unlike nuclear weapons or the ballistic missiles to deliver them, cyberweapons do not require largescale industrial projects or concentrations of scientists with scarce skills. All that is needed to paralyze a complex society and panic its population is “a roomful of computers and a small corps of people trained to use them.” Clearly the United States needs a cyberdeterrent capacity — the ability to do unto adversaries anything they might try to do unto us. One problem, however, is that it can be difficult to prove the source of a cyberattack, such as that which Vladimir Putin did not acknowledge launching, but almost certainly did launch, in 2007 to punish Estonia for annoying Russia. To appreciate how computer keystrokes can do

damage comparable to a sustained air campaign using high explosives, consider what happened in 1995 in the private sector. Barings, founded in 1762, was Britain’s oldest merchant bank, having weathered the Napoleonic wars and two world wars, and its clients included Queen Elizabeth. One of its young traders, Nick Leeson, in the bank’s Singapore office, was so skillful at navigating the derivatives markets that at one point he produced 10 percent of the bank’s profits. Inadequately supervised, he created a secret Barings account from which he made risky bets, including a huge one on Japan’s stock market rising. He did not, however, anticipate the Kobe earthquake. Japan’s stock market plunged, causing enormous losses in Leeson’s account that Barings could not cover. The bank quickly collapsed and was bought by a Dutch company for one British pound. If one rogue trader’s recklessness, motivated by mere avarice, can quietly and quickly annihilate a venerable institution, imagine what havoc can be wrought by battalions of militarized cyberwarriors implacably implementing a nation’s destructive agenda. It is long past time for urgent public discussion of the many new meanings that can be given to Shakespeare’s “Cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war.” — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 14, 1916: years “Opinion differed ago regarding the IN 1916 sane celebration of July 4 when the subject was discussed in a meeting of the welfare board last night. The present ordinance pertaining to the sale of fireworks and other explosives used to observe the birthday of the nation was declared by some members of the board to be too drastic.”

Bill Clinton’s ‘apology’ falls short By the next day, Bill Clinton was feeling remorse. Almost. “Now I like and believe in protests,” he explained to an audience at Penn State Behrend. “But I never thought I should drown anybody else out. … So I did something yesterday in Philadelphia. I almost want to apologize for it, but I want to use it as an example of the danger threatening our country.” That danger, said the former president, is the inability to have respectful discussions with those with whom we disagree. “We’ve got to stop that in this country,” he said. “We’ve got to listen to each other again.” The reference was to an incident Thursday wherein the 42nd president, while campaigning to help his wife Hillary become the 45th, got into a shouting match with Black Lives Matter activists in Philadelphia. Had this been a Trump rally, the protesters would have been beaten up, so we can at least be thankful the incident ended without stitches or icepacks. Not to say it wasn’t ugly. In a sometimes angry exchange, Clinton defended himself against hecklers’ charges that the crime bill he signed in 1994, with its harsher sentencing, new prison construction, three

Who’s going to apologize for all the nonviolent AfricanAmerican offenders who have lost decades of their lives behind bars while white offenders who had the same records and committed the same crimes went free?”

strikes rule and revocation of education grants for inmates, helped fuel the mass incarceration crisis that has decimated the AfricanAmerican community. That’s nothing but true, as Clinton himself acknowledged in a speech last summer before the NAACP. “I signed a bill that made the problem worse,” he said. “And I want to admit it.” He should have stuck with that. Thursday’s confrontation was light on contrition

and long on finger wagging. Clinton reminded protesters that the bill in question was signed in an era of lurid headlines about gangs shooting children. “You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter,” he shouted. He credited the bill with dropping the nation’s crime rate to historic lows, which is a dubious claim. As PolitiFact has since observed, the crime rate was already falling when the bill was enacted. Clinton also noted that the bill was passed with the support of at least some African-American leaders. That part, at least, is true; it was also supported by his wife and her chief rival, Bernie Sanders. Even so, it would be naive to believe opportunism did not play a part in Clinton’s signing the bill. After all, it gave him the perfect retort to Republicans who accused him of being “soft on crime.” Now, 22 years later, the bill is back in the news and the ex-president wants to use an argument about it as an example of political incivility? Yes, that is a gnawing concern. But if Clinton thinks it’s the key takeaway from last week’s confrontation, he is missing the point. It is immaterial whether he and those protesters ever

apologize for talking over one another. Who’s going to apologize for all the nonviolent African-American offenders who have lost decades of their lives behind bars while white offenders who had the same records and committed the same crimes went free? Or for children sentenced to live in motherless homes and eat at fatherless tables? Or for the fact that the land of the free now has the highest incarceration rate on Earth? Who will apologize that a community already withstanding high rates of poverty, unemployment and neglect has been hollowed out by an ill-conceived law? Who will apologize? More importantly, who will work to change it? That’s the question for which African-Americans and all voters who care about justice must demand answers. “I almost want to apologize,” doesn’t cut it. It’s weaselly and ultimately, it’s not even on topic. If he truly desires to be forthright and to engage the people his crime bill has injured, then what the ex-president needs to say should be obvious: “I passed a bad law. Here’s how Hillary will fix it.” — Leonard Pitts Jr., is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Democrat Mike Pryor is entering the 2nd District Kansas Congressional race without a big campaign war chest, a fact that dovetails with his message. “The first thing for me is getting money out of politics,” the 76-yearold Lawrence man Pryor said. “As long as you can buy and sell Congress, how can anything get done that the people want? ” Pryor is the first can-

Bay, Germany and England. His platform agreed with “pretty much everything” Sanders advocates, Pryor said. He supports free college tuition, an increase in minimum wage, equal pay for women, investment in alternative energy, expansion of Social Security and tax code reform. “I really feel the need to do this,” he said. “I don’t think the people of the 2nd District are getting getting good representation.” — Reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

CHICAGO POLICE FACE RACISM CHARGE ‘Some people do not feel safe’ to walk the streets Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

The city’s police department is beset by racism and needs sweeping reforms to help it win back trust in the community, according to a report released CHICAGO

Wednesday by a panel tasked by Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The Chicago Police Accountability Task Force called on the department to “acknowledge its racist history and overhaul its handling of excessive force allegations.” The report contains over 100 recommendations for change and is replete with statistics that suggest African Americans in the city are disproportionately targeted by Chicago officers. The task force found 74% of people killed or injured by Chi-

RUSSIAN JETS BUZZ U.S. SHIP

cago police officers over the past eight years were African-American. In 2014, 72% of people stopped by Chicago police were black and 17% were Hispanic, according to the report. About 76% of the time that a taser was deployed between 2012 and 2015, it was used on a black suspect, the task force found. About 33% of the city’s population is black. The data, the task force asserts, “gives validity to the widely held belief the police have no regard for the sanctity of life when it

comes to people of color.” “Some people do not feel safe in any encounter with the police,” the report said. “Some do not feel like they have the ability to walk in their neighborhoods or drive in their cars without being aggressively confronted by the police. The consistent theme of these deeply held beliefs came from a significant cross-section of people: men and women, young, middle-aged and older, doctors, lawyers, teachers and other professionals, students, and everyday workers.”

Emanuel created the task force in the aftermath of the court-ordered release of police video in November that showed a white police officer pumping 16 shots into 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, a black youth killed on a city street. The McDonald video triggered the firing of police superintendent Garry McCarthy, contributed to last month’s primary defeat of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, and diminished the mayor’s standing with the city’s voters.

Two Russian SU-24 jets made “numerous, close-range and lowaltitude passes” on the USS Donald Cook on Tuesday, the U.S. European Command said. A Russian helicopter also hovered nearby during the U.S. joint exercise in the Baltic Sea. The incidents were being addressed through diplomatic channels, U.S. officials said.

Republican candidates and their strategists spent the better part of a year courting millions of GOP primary voters — but they will have only the first word on the 2016 presidential nomination, not the last. The three remaining GOP White House hopefuls are increasingly turning attention to a more select group of Republicans: the 2,472 delegates who, along with the rules for selecting them, may ultimately settle a contested convention in Cleveland. USA TODAY looks at the staff

and strategies Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich are using in their efforts to reach the magic number of 1,237 delegates. TRUMP’S DELEGATE HUNTER SIGNALS AGGRESSIVE PUSH

Trump’s revamped campaign figures to be just as aggressive as his previous version, especially when it comes to securing convention delegates — an effort led by a veteran Republican strategist known for playing hardball politics.

Paul Manafort, convention manager for Donald Trump’s campaign, has four decades of experience with political conventions.

Paul Manafort, whose convention experience extends back to the Ford-Reagan battle royal of 1976, has accused Cruz and his team of “Gestapo tactics” in rounding up delegates, though he predicted Trump would prevail in the end. Cruz and his supporters have “taken an approach to some of the county conventions, where they can (do) scorched earth policy and don’t care about the party,” Manafort said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press. “If they don’t get what they want, they blow it up.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

U.S. has the Islamic State on the run, Obama says Coalition has retaken swaths of ISIL-held turf Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The United States and allied forces have the Islamic State on the defensive, President Obama said Wednesday, with the terrorist group failing to mount a single offensive operation in Syria or Iraq since last summer. “We have momentum, and we intend to keep that momentum,” Obama said. “It’s harder than ever for them to move, and for them to amass forces.”

In remarks after meeting with his National Security Council at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., on Wednesday, Obama hinted at no changes in U.S. strategy, saying the current military, intelligence and diplomatic efforts are depriving the Islamic State of fighters, money and leadership. He also said the ultimate solution has to be a diplomatic one. “The only way to truly destroy ISIL is to end the Syrian civil war that ISIL has exploited,” he said. The Pentagon said Wednes-

day it killed three of the Islamic State’s top commanders in Syria and Iraq recently as part of a bigger airstrike campaign that AFP/GETTY IMAGES has won back Obama more than 40% of the caliphate’s territory in Iraq, while fighting threatens to engulf the Syrian city of Aleppo. In Geneva, indirect Syrian peace talks resumed Wednesday. The recent fighting, howev-

er, threatens the partial cease-fire agreement, Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Wednesday on Twitter. Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told the Associated Press that the opposition participating in the talks should let go of its dream that President Bashar Assad would leave power in a transitional government. Such a move would be a coup d’etat and “will never be accepted,” Mekdad said. The Defense Department said the U.S.-led coalition has retaken control of 15% of the Syrian

territory held by Islamic State. U.S.-led airstrikes have killed three top Islamic State commanders in recent months — the group’s minister of war, chief finance officer and chief weapons officer, Col. Steve Warren, spokesman for the U.S. military operation against the Islamic State, said Wednesday. The air campaign forced the group to scatter and took away its capacity to meet and produce income, he said. U.S. monitors report a rise in the number of Islamic State executing its own as suspected spies, a signal of increased confusion, he said.

Pentagon looks to NFL model to aid diversity Proposal has raised internal concerns about its legality Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

The Pentagon is considering a version of the NFL’s “Rooney Rule” to diversify its officer corps, a proposal that has already raised internal concerns about its legality, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. The proposal, sent to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter for approval, would require the Army, Navy and Marine Corps to consider minority candidates for key jobs such as aide-de-camp and military assistant to senior leaders. Those slots are often springboards to higher ranks. In the NFL, teams are required to interview minority candidates for top jobs, including head coach, under the Rooney Rule, named after the Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adopting a similar approach in the military “gives great prospect for alleviating persistent gaps in our senior leadership corps,” according to the proposal developed by Brad Carson, who stepped down recently as the Pentagon’s top civilian official for personnel issues. Each of the services and special operations forces have struggled for years to diversify its top brass with little effect. For example, USA TODAY reported last year that of the Air Force’s 280 generals, just 18 of them belonged to minority groups. Overall, the active-duty force of more than 1 million troops is about 69% white, 17% black and 4% Asian, according to Pentagon figures. The services generally choose their senior leaders from frontline combat units such as infantry. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of WASHINGTON

Zika may affect babies in later stages of pregnancy Study confirms link with birth defects Liz Szabo

@lizszabo USA TODAY

The Zika virus may pose a threat to women and their fetuses even in the later stages of pregnancy, according to a study published online Wednesday in The BMJ, formerly known as the British Medical Journal. The study is being published just as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced that it now considers Zika to be a definitive cause of birth defects such as microcephaly, a birth defect in which infants are born with abnormally small heads and, in most cases, incomplete brain development. Until Wednesday, the CDC had said that Zika was strongly linked to birth defects, but that there wasn’t enough scientific evidence to make a definitive conclusion.

The new study included 23 Brazilian babies born with microcephaly born in Brazil, which has reported thousands of suspect cases since its Zika epidemic began. Doctors initially suspected that Zika infections, which are largely spread by mosquitoes, would be most harmful to fetuses in the first trimester of pregnancy, or the first three months of a ninemonth pregnancy. In this study, 23% of the mothers of babies with microcephaly were infected with Zika in the second trimester. Two mothers were infected in the sixth month of pregnancy. None were infected in the third trimester. The babies in the study had problems that went far beyond small heads. The brain damage seen in the study was “extremely severe, indicating a poor prognosis,” according to the study. Authors of the report have expanded their study to a total of 130 babies with microcephaly. Several infants have had epi-

leptic seizures within three to five months after birth, said co-author Vanessa van der Linden, a pediatric neurologist at the Association for Assistance of Disabled Children in Recife, Brazil, the epicenter of that country’s Zika epidemic. Doctors will have to follow the children for at least 18 months to get a clearer picture of how the brain abnormalities will affect them, she said. The extent of the brain damage seen in the babies in this study, which was captured in MRI images, is “stunning,” said James Bale Jr., professor of pediatric neurology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, who was not involved in the new study. “This is really a remarkable degree of damage.” The babies’ injuries are consistent with fetal brain disruption sequence, in which normal fetal growth is altered by a destructive virus or parasite, Bale said. Babies with this condition have intellectual disabilities.

Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has pushed a variety of policies aimed at diversifying the military.

Staff, for example, is an infantry officer. Minority officers, however, are underrepresented in those units for a variety of reasons, including personal choice. Giving more minority officers a chance to serve as aides to top officers could encourage them to pursue a career as a senior leader, according to a Defense official familiar with the proposal but not authorized to speak publicly. Carter has pushed a variety of policies to diversify the military. This year, all barriers to women serving in combat units were dismantled. And the Pentagon is moving toward repealing its ban on allowing transgender troops to serve. Carter believes that emphasizing diversity is essential for the military to attract and retain the troops it needs for the future, said another Defense official also familiar with the proposal but not authorized to speak publicly about it. “Our ability to attract and develop a highly talented diverse cadre of officers to lead our military is essential to mission success now and in the future,” the proposal states. The diversity proposal being considered by Carter, however, has drawn internal criticism. The Navy, while saluting the goal of greater diversity, worries that implementing the policy carries the “significant risk of litigation,” according to a memo. The Navy memo calls for analyzing data on the problem and developing “narrowly tailored efforts” to avoid lawsuits.

Legwork paying off before July showdown v CONTINUED FROM 1B

After being shut out of delegates during a weekend convention in Colorado, Trump accused Republicans in the state and elsewhere of operating a “corrupt” system that is denying the wishes of the many voters who have backed him. Trump hired Manafort in part to address that issue, banking on his four decades of experience with political conventions. Manafort played a role in the last competitive political convention, working in 1976 to hold President Ford’s delegates against conservative challenger Ronald Reagan. Four years later, he worked on Reagan’s triumphant presidential campaign. After Reagan’s victory, Manafort became a founding partner of one of the most influential consulting and lobbying firms in political history: Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly.

“They played hardball, but this is a hardball town,” said Republican strategist Rich Galen. “If you needed gunslingers, they knew how to shoot.” Former Minnesota congressman Vin Weber, who backs Kasich, said Manafort is a friend and a “first rate” hire, but he is trying to transform a relatively small Trump campaign organization that has not been designed for a convention fight. “Paul has got to put all this together at once,” said Weber. Weber also chuckled at the notion that Manafort would accuse the Cruz campaign of underhanded tactics: “If anybody were to ruthlessly exploit the rules — and it was to their advantage — it would be Paul.” In announcing Manafort’s appointment, Trump said “the nomination process has reached a point that requires someone familiar with the complexities involved in the final stages.” Manafort has said he expects Trump to be the presumptive nominee by mid-May. “It’s the process that matters,” Manafort told NBC. “If you know how to use the process, the support is there.” CRUZ’S LONG-TERM DELEGATE STRATEGY PAYING OFF

former Cruz communications director and MSNBC political analyst. Allies said the Cruz camp has taken more of a team approach to delegate strategy. The campaign tapped Ken Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia, to supervise delegation selection efforts, but months of work also involved political director Mark Campbell, campaign manager Jeff Roe and the candidate himself. As far back as the summer, the Texas senator and allies began looking for delegates in various states, as well as U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Staff members and volunteers have been busy meeting deadlines, attending meetings, and lining up specific people

to serve as delegates. The details are paying off. For instance, Cruz figures to collect more delegates than Trump in Louisiana, even though he lost that primary to the businessman. In Pennsylvania, at least 54 delegates will be unbound when they head to Cleveland, regardless of the results of the state’s primary April 26. Cruz operatives have been busy since Thanksgiving recruiting delegate candidates and soliciting the signatures needed to get them on the primary ballot. “Ted Cruz and his organization understood from the very beginning that the nomination is voted on by delegates,” said Lowman Henry, the Cruz state chairman in Pennsylvania. “It’s not a direct election primary.” While Trump has lodged complaints about the process, the Cruz camp says the front-runner should be complaining about his own lack of organization. “Donald’s ground game is nonexistent,” Cruz told radio host Glenn Beck, a Cruz supporter. Matt Mackowiak, a GOP consultant in Texas, said the Cruz camp has been quiet about delegate acquisition efforts, but it’s apparent they “understand who these folks are and what they are about.” “The rules, the deadlines,” Mackowiak said. “They’ve been ahead of the curve strategically a lot in this race.” KASICH CONVENTION GURU OUTLINES MESSY FIGHT

Kasich’s GOP convention guru predicted this week the Ohio governor would have “several hundred” delegates by the end of the primary season and would have to spend the five weeks leading up to the Republican convention in a furious bid to win over delegates committed to Marco Rubio and other GOP contenders who dropped out of the race. Charlie Black, a Washington super-lobbyist (and also of Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly fame), is helping Kasich craft his convention strategy. He describes an arduous, messy and contentious path ahead, with Kasich winning the nomination only after at least three rounds of voting at the

Cleveland convention in July. Black said Kasich would not try to woo delegates with free trips or fancy dinners, but with a direct political pitch: that he’s the only Republican who can beat the Democratic nominee. “What he has to offer (delegates) is the White House, the Supreme Court and continued control of the United States Senate,” Black said in an interview. “He’s the only one who consistently beats (Democratic frontrunner) Hillary Clinton in the polls.” Black, who worked for Reagan at the contested 1976 convention in Kansas City, said delegates don’t want those kinds of perks anyway. “In 1976 when I was working for Reagan, we were up against the White House,” he recalled of President Ford’s re-election bid. “They had delegates invited to state dinners, delegates invited to meet Queen Elizabeth, to fly on Air Force One. That didn’t have much impact.” Ford did best Reagan for the nomination, however. Black said Trump would go into the convention with the most delegates and win the most votes on the first round but fall short of a majority. During the second and third rounds, as more delegates become free agents, Black said those delegates will abandon Trump. “As he loses votes because people are no longer bound by state law to him, Cruz will pick up some, but Kasich will pick up more,” Black argued. “What happens is, as we go through about three ballots, Trump’s lost ground, Kasich’s gained ground,” and Kasich will emerge as the only viable contender as delegates become concerned about the general election. Other Republicans have derided Kasich’s strategy as “fantasy.” Under current convention rules, Kasich would probably not be eligible for the nomination, because a candidate has to win a majority of delegates from at least eight states to have his name on the ballot. With only one win so far in his home state of Ohio, Kasich is unlikely to meet that requirement.

CHINESE COURT RULES GAY COUPLE CAN’T MARRY Still, just hearing the case is seen as a ‘big step’ by rights activists

Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY BEIJING A judge in the central city of Changsha ruled Wednesday against a gay couple in China’s first same-sex marriage case. Sun Wenlin, 27, brought the case against his local civil affairs bureau because it refused to grant a marriage license last summer to him and his partner, Hu Mingliang, 37. “I had hope before the trial started, but when I saw the official from Civil Affairs Ministry look at the judge, I knew that the result had been decided in advance,” Sun told USA TODAY after the court hearing. Hundreds cheered for the couple outside as they entered the court. Authorities allowed about 100 people to go inside. Sun, who said he and Hu will appeal, said his motive was “to secure equality for all people. ... It is to make gay people’s voices heard.”

“I had hope before the trial started, but when I saw the official from Civil Affairs Ministry look at the judge, I knew that the result had been decided in advance.” Sun Wenlin, who petitioned to marry his partner

IN BRIEF PAPAL HEAD PROTECTION

Homosexuality was decriminalized in China in 1997, but Sun said he hoped to win his case on the grounds that Chinese law doesn’t specifically ban marriage between two men. The hearing came three days after a labor tribunal heard China’s first transgender discrimination case. A 28-year-old transgender man surnamed Chen took action after he was dismissed from a job at a health services firm in the southwestern city of Guiyang last month for wearing men’s clothes. The tribunal will issue a verdict at the end of the month. The two cases illustrate a new legal approach to advancing LGBT rights in China. This approach had been tolerated by Chinese authorities, perhaps because President Xi Jinping was keen to represent his country as one with the rule of law. But social activists are generally facing obstacles in China, with a new law that would require non-governmental organizations to register with the police.

Sun’s case was expected to be heard in January but was delayed until Wednesday. In the interim, police came to his house asking him to drop the case. “They told me that everyone has the responsibility to carry on the family line and that I am violating traditional beliefs. I told them it’s your freedom to carry on (the) family line, and my freedom to choose not to,” he said. Many Chinese gay and lesbian couples enter into heterosexual marriages to have children and keep their parents happy. Some experts have argued that China’s one-child policy, which ended in January, exacerbated the phenomenon because many families had only one child to carry on the family line. “I am not surprised about today’s verdict. There is no understanding of gender pluralism in China,” said Xin Ying, director of the Beijing LGBT Center. “But the fact that we have entered the era when we can ask for gay marriage, that is a big step.”

WASHINGTON Hours after arriving in Korea on a bitterly cold night in late 1950, Army Pvt. Victor Lopez-Nieves and his fellow Puerto Rican soldiers were given a perilous task. “They said, ‘You’re going up front because the Chinese have broken the lines,’ ” recalled Lopez-Nieves of San Antonio. “So they put us on a vehicle, took us out front, and told us to get in that trench. ... But my God, we closed the breach.” The soldiers in that all-Puerto Rican unit, known as the Borin-

A spate of legislation in Congress aims to increase testing for lead in drinking water in cities, schools and day cares across the country amid evidence that excessive amounts of the notorious toxin have shown up in tap tests of nearly 2,000 water systems that supply drinking water to millions of people. A bill introduced this week by Rep. Donald Payne Jr., DAFP/GETTY IMAGES N.J., would Sen. Dick amend the Safe Durbin seeks Drinking Water to update Act to require EPA rules. schools that receive federal funding for safe water programs to test for lead more regularly. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., has filed a similar bill in the Senate. Also this week, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., held a news conference discussing legislation he introduced in February with Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., which would update the Environmental Protection Agency’s lead and copper regulations to require lead testing of pipes and water in U.S. cities. And Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., introduced legislation last month to fund lead testing at schools and day cares — a companion to a bill by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., to establish a new federal grant program for schools and day care centers that want to test for lead. “What’s at stake here is huge,” Durbin said Wednesday. “We have to keep pushing on this.” Currently, about 10% of the nation’s schools and a tiny fraction of day cares — the 8,225 facilities that run their own water systems — are required to test tap water for lead, the USA TODAY NETWORK reported last month.

A sign at the Dedham School in Maine warns of high lead levels in water. Legislation seeks funding for tests in schools.

LEAD IN YOUR WATER investigation identified almost 2,000 water systems spanning all 50 states where testing has shown excessive levels of lead contamination over the past four years. Among those were about 350 schools and day cares. The investigation also found that many schools and day cares that tested for lead voluntarily also found excessive contamination levels, hinting at a larger problem with a toxin health experts agree is unsafe in any amount, and can damage developing brains and slow growth in children. When asked about that regulatory loophole, Durbin said he believes all schools and day cares should be required to test. Payne said he was surprised by the scope of the problem when he read the USA TODAY NETWORK investigation. “It’s amazing the numbers of schools and day cares you’ve seen” with excessive lead levels, he said. The legislation proposed by Payne and Booker would amend the Safe Drinking Water Act so

states could only get funding from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund if they have a program to test for lead in drinking water in schools annually or biannually. It also would require school leaders to notify parents, the EPA and the state within 48 hours if the level of lead exceeds the federal standard. The USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found multiple examples, from New York to Arizona, of delays in notifying parents that water in school drinking fountains and sinks tested high for lead. Durbin and Cardin’s legislation goes beyond schools, directing the EPA to improve reporting about testing of lead and copper levels in drinking water. It would make law the recommendations of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council, including increasing outreach to consumers with lead service lines and more online reporting about contamination issues by water utilities.

‘Affluenza’ teen sentenced as adult Jim Douglas

In his first appearance in adult court, the Texas teen whose “affluenza” defense earned him probation for killing four people in a 2013 drunken-driving trial was ordered to spend nearly two years in jail Wednesday. State District Judge Wayne Salvant said Ethan Couch, 19, must spend 180 days in jail for each of the four people he killed when his pickup crashed into a crowd of people helping a motorist. Initially, Salvant said he would not immediately rule on how much longer Couch would spend in Tarrant County jail. But he reconsidered his ruling after hearing an argument from prosecutors that Couch should be sentenced not to a maximum of 120 days but 180 days for each of four counts of intoxication manslaughter, under a separate part of Texas code. The terms will be served consecutively. It was not clear whether that would include the time Couch has already spent in jail since his return from Mexico. Couch’s case officially moved to adult court from juvenile court when he turned 19 on Monday. Couch was 16 at the time of the crash. FORT WORTH

Ethan Couch, 19, is escorted to Judge Wayne Salvant’s court for his hearing in Fort Worth on Wednesday. He is known as the “affluenza” teen because during his trial his defense attorney claimed his affluent upbringing prevented him from understanding his responsibility in the crash. Couch is currently serving 10 years’ probation for the crash. That sentence angered the families of his victims and prosecutors, who had pushed for detention time. Late last year, Couch and his mother, Tonya, fled to Mexico after a video surfaced that appeared to show him playing beer pong at a party, a violation

MONEYLINE VALEANT CEO AGREES TO SENATE DEPOSITION Valeant Pharmaceuticals CEO J. Michael Pearson reversed course Wednesday and agreed to be deposed by a Senate committee on aging, averting a potential contempt citation. Pearson agreed to be questioned Monday, in advance of his scheduled testimony at the committee’s April 27 hearing. The hearing is the committee’s third focused on price spikes in decades-old drugs. The panel has focused in part on Valeant’s decision to raise the per-vial price of Isuprel, used to treat cardiac arrest, from $215 to $1,346, and raise a dosage of Nitropress, a high-bloodpressure medication, from $257.80 to $805.61. MCCORMICK ENDS BID FOR PREMIER FOODS Spice maker McCormick & Co. is dropping its bid to acquire U.K.based Premier Foods, saying the price tag for the sauce and dessert company became too high. Sparks, Md.,-based McCormick had sought to buy the company, known for products such as its OXO bouillon cubes and Mr. Kipling dessert cakes, for about $764 million in cash. McCormick shares were down 2% Wednesday to $96.72; Premier Food shares plunged 24% to $43.00. CONSUMERS RELUCTANT TO SPEND AS RETAIL SALES DROP U.S. retail sales fell last month as Americans cut back on car purchases. A 2.1% plunge in auto sales — the steepest in more than a year — accounted for most of the drop. But sales were weak in other sectors, including clothing, restaurants and at online and catalog stores. Overall retail sales fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.3% in March, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, after a flat reading in February and a drop in January.

rently being tested at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., with plans for a bigger trial in San Jose. Rather than laying fiber-optic lines, Terragraph places small nodes or boxes on lamp posts, buildings, bus stops and other “street furniture” up to 820 feet apart to stretch the 60 gigahertz signal to offer high-speed Internet. Project ARIES is in its early stages. Its goal is to extend Internet access to rural communities by using the existing wireless spectrum more efficiently. Facebook says in 20 countries it studied, more than 90% of people live 25 miles from a major city. It plans to make the technology available to wireless communications researchers. Facebook hopes to speed development of new technologies by making much of its own research available at no cost. The arrangement is inspired by the open-source software movement, in which anyone can have access to the computer code but must share advances with the community at large. “We take our mission to connect everyone seriously,” Jay Parikh, Facebook’s vice president of engineering, said on stage at the F8 conference. “However, this is a really hard problem.” The two latest initiatives work alongside a program to bring Internet to unconnected areas via solar-powered drones. These unmanned planes, dubbed Aquila (Latin for “eagle”), are the size of a Boeing 737 that fly miles above the Earth, providing broadbandlevel Internet for people in a 50mile radius below. Facebook is not alone in its quest. Alphabet is backing Project Loon, which uses high-altitude, wind-propelled balloons with the goal of blanketing Internet coverage across large swaths of the world.

The nation’s biggest coal company, Peabody Energy, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday as the coal industry grapples with the fallout of low natural gas prices, costly regulations and legacy costs. Peabody had warned in March that “sustained depressed” coal prices had placed it on the edge of insolvency. The company also suffered a sharp blow from its exposure to the bankruptcy of former subsidiary Patriot Coal, one of several coal giants to topple into bankruptcy court over the last couple of years. Low natural gas prices, a sluggish Chinese economy and U.S. environmental regulatory pressure have compounded financial pressures facing coal companies, which include costs such as pensions and retiree health care obligations, analysts say.

Shares of Peabody stock, at a high of $299.10 in early 2014, closed at $2.07 on Tuesday and trading was suspended.

Peabody has posted four consecutive yearly losses, including a $2 billion loss in 2015 as revenue fell 17% to $5.6 billion. The company listed $10.1 billion in debts and $11 billion in assets, including ownership interest in 26 active mines in the U.S. and Australia. Shareholders with at least 5% of the company are Blackrock, Kopernik Global Investors, Vanguard Group and Susquehanna Securities, according to a court filing. “Through this process, the company intends to reduce its overall debt level, lower fixed charges, improve operating cash flow and position the company for long-term success, while continuing to operate under the protection of the court process,” Peabody said in a statement. Trading of the company’s shares, which closed at $2.07 on Tuesday, will be suspended. The stock hit a high of $299.10 in the first quarter of 2014. “This was a difficult decision, but it is the right path forward. We begin today to build a highly successful global leader for tomorrow,” CEO Glenn Kellow said. Peabody said it had secured $800 million in bankruptcy financing from a group that includes secured and unsecured creditors to maintain operations.

IMF sees rise in risks to global financial stability Says more must be done to help keep market turmoil at bay Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The risks to global financial stability have increased over the past six months, and the turbulence that roiled markets early this year could be renewed if policymakers don’t take steps to safeguard the financial system, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday. In its global financial stability report, the IMF blamed the higher risks on falling commodity

prices, China’s economic slowdown and the limited ability of interest-rate policy to respond to a more uncertain global economy. Early this year, global stock markets, including in the U.S., plunged, corporate borrowing costs rose and fears of recession swirled. Markets have reversed course since early February. But at the IMF’s spring meetings in Washington, financial counselor Jose Vinals disputed the view that the turmoil “is now safely behind us,” instead saying it’s a “warning signal that more needs to be done. If not, market turmoil may recur and intensify and could create a pernicious feedback loop of fragile confidence, weaker growth, tighter financial conditions, and rising

SHAWN THEW, EPA

IMF financial counselor Jose Vinals says “market turmoil could recur and intensify.”

debt burdens,” Vinals told reporters. “That could tip the global economy into economic and financial stagnation.” In that scenario, he said, global

economic output could be 4% lower over the next five years than the IMF’s baseline forecast. Among the IMF’s proposals: uIn advanced economies, especially the euro area, struggling banks that hold 15% of bank assets should address high levels of bad loans, a legacy of the financial crisis. Vinals said. Europe also must deal with an oversupply of banks and complete a banking union that would guarantee customer deposits in a crisis. And the U.S. should renew efforts to reduce the role of government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose losses during the housing crisis put taxpayers at risk. uIn China, corporate profits are suffering as the country strug-

gles through a challenging shift to an economy rooted in consumption rather than investment and exports. The share of debt held by firms that don’t earn enough to cover their interest payments has risen to 14% of the debt of all publicly-traded Chinese companies, more than triple the 2010 level. Corporate bank loans potentially at risk total $1.3 trillion, 7% of the nation’s gross domestic product. He said China should address that overhang, strengthen banks and bolster regulation. uOther emerging markets face slower growth, tighter credit and volatile capital flows amid the drop in commodity prices. Vinals urged them to use capital cushions to strengthen government and bank balance sheets.

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

The bull market that has defied expectations — and vocal critics — since its birth March 9, 2009, is hitting its stride again and is within striking distance of two fresh milestones. If you recall, the bull celebrated its 7th birthday on March 9, but Wall Street historians reminded everyone that for the bull market to officially mark seven years in the history books it would need to take out and close above its all-time closing high of 2130.82 on May 21, 2015. (The reason? Even though the bull is not officially over, the May 2015 peak close measures just 6 years, 2 months in bull years.) And that brings us back to the present rally on Wall Street,

Nearly 40,000 employees of Verizon went on strike Wednesday seeking improved benefits and work conditions, as well as a slowdown in outsourcing of some jobs. The Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers officially began the strike at 6 a.m. ET for the tens of thousands of its union members who work for the telecommunications giant

Robo advisers can steer you in right direction

Q: Can a computer tell me what stocks to buy? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Computers already tell you to turn left or right when you’re driving. They can even tell you when you’ve been in the sun too long. Some investors wonder if they can trust an algorithm to tell them what stocks to buy. Investors looking for computerized direction on how to pick stocks have several options. Charles Schwab offers its Schwab Equity Ratings, which use computers to analyze the attractiveness of individual stocks. Schwab’s system rates stocks based on the earnings and revenue trends at the company, as well as its valuation, stock-price momentum and risk. If you’re just looking to see a quick read on the attractiveness of a stock, you might check with your broker to see if reports from S&P Global Market Intelligence are available. S&P Global has a “Stars” rating, where a single rating is given to stocks — and available to view online — based on the firm’s qualitative research. If you’re looking to completely turn over your portfolio to machines, you might consider so-called robo advisers. These systems assess your appetite for risk and then choose exchange-traded funds for you to buy. Schwab offers its Intelligent Portfolios, and Betterment.com offers a computer-driven option, too.

40,000 Verizon workers go on strike over job benefits months before this shutdown, which the unions note will rank among the largest work stoppages in recent years. Verizon officials say they have prepared for the strike by training non-union workers and others to handle tasks as a way to minimize impact to customers. “Millions of Americans rely on Verizon for the ability to communicate, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Bob Mudge, president of Verizon’s wireline network operations, said in a statement. “We remain fully prepared to handle any work stoppage so that our products and services will be available

where and when our customers need them.” Union members, who work for Verizon from Virginia to Massachusetts, have voiced concerns about the telecommunications giant’s profits — $39 billion over the last three years — coming at the expense of workers who are facing declining job security and an increase of outsourcing. Workers are being asked to relocate and work farther from home, too, the union says. Verizon officials say the employees covered under the current contract, which expired Aug. 1, 2015, have a wage and ben-

efit package that averages more than $130,000 a year. But health care and retirement compromises are needed to help manage costs because most of the employees involved support Verizon’s landline business, which has increasing costs that cut into company profits. The union, Verizon says, turned down an offer to work with federal mediators Monday — a move that led to agreements in 2012. But union officials say that federal mediators did not contact them, only Verizon. The last strike by workers, in 2011, lasted two weeks.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Santana kicked off their reunion at the House of Blues in Las Vegas last month. Their 16-song Santana IV is out Friday.

Santana bring back the magic for a ‘second chance’ Original band members put past tensions aside for new album and tour Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

LAS VEGAS Rocker Neal Schon had an unforgettable surprise 60th birthday party in February 2014 surrounded by friends and family at one of Las Vegas’ finest restaurants. But the birthday highlight came when guitarist Carlos Santana, his mentor and bandmate in the classic band Santana, presented Schon with a luxury Hublot watch. The gift signified the completion of a longtime Schon goal, bringing back the original Santana members from the band’s Woodstock-era — including Santana, 68, keyboardist Gregg Rolie, 68, percussionist Michael Carabello, 68, and drummer Michael Shrieve, 66, who were all celebrating with Schon. “Carlos gave me this watch and

he said, ‘It’s time,’ ” says Schon, looking at the timepiece he still wears. “It was like, there you go. It was time.” Time now for the classic, original Santana, who have recorded a 16-song reunion record, Santana IV (out Friday), after the band went their separate ways circa 1973. “We got a second chance, we know more, we feel more,” Santana says. “It took nearly 45 years to reignite this chemistry. Because it’s really chemistry that we’re talking about.” After a killer set at 1969’s Woodstock, Santana exploded from unknown band to superstardom. Guitar prodigy Schon dropped out of high school at age 15 to join the band that would fuse rock and Latin rhythms in a string of classic hits such as Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va and Evil Ways. But with the sudden rise to fame came tension in the band.

“We got blindsided with all the carry all that (stuff ) around,” adulation and attention. It’s like Schon says. “Life is too short. We we went from high school to were such a great thing. Why not Woodstock,” Santana says. “We put it back together?” With the official reunion on, were so young back them, we had no mercy, no compassion.

It’s almost easier to say what isn’t in Captain America: Civil War, since the latest Marvel movie features MOVIE deaths, bad feelings REVIEW all around, alliances BRIAN formed and broken, TRUITT two guys with bug names, a kiss and the best superhero battle put to film yet. Tear away the powers, abilities and egos, though, and the third Captain America movie (eeeg out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters May 6) is at its core a deep exploration of friendship and family and what sacrifices should be made to hold on to both. And while it’s not the greatest Marvel effort — that honor goes to Captain America: The Winter Soldier — Civil War does pull outstanding performances from its two franchise faces, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. Evans’ Steve Rogers is faced with struggles on all sides: Cap’s childhood best pal Bucky (Sebastian Stan), who has been brainwashed into being the assassin Winter Soldier, is framed for a terrorist incident in Vienna. Making matters worse, Captain America is already dealing with his Avengers

Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) are at odds in Captain America: Civil War. supergroup crumbling around him when a new law places the heroes under United Nations jurisdiction after too many international incidents with catastrophic collateral damage. He’s against the move, his buddy Tony Stark (again played by Downey, doing great stuff outside the Iron Man armor) is for it, and civil discourse between the two isn’t happening at all. “Sometimes I want to punch you in your perfect teeth,” Stark hisses. Under the direction of Winter Soldier’s Anthony and Joe Russo, Civil War is the most epic Aveng-

ers movie so far, even though it’s not an Avengers movie. The divided team allows many character moments for the android Vision (Paul Bettany), newer heroes Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and mainstays Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and War Machine (Don Cheadle). The movie also features the impressive introductions of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), a Wakandan prince bearing claws and a grudge, and a new SpiderMan (Tom Holland). Previous movies have had issues balancing

the youthful banter and scientific confidence of the comic-book wallcrawler, but Holland nails the role in every aspect. Both those guys and many more are involved in the aforementioned big brawl, a massive airport throwdown between the bickering heroes. It’s a brilliantly crafted affair featuring new teamups and fabulous dialogue (credit to screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely) ultimately heisted by surprising scene-stealers Spidey and AntMan (Paul Rudd). Between the political issues, explosive battles and a nefarious plot by new villain-on-the-scene Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl), Civil War is overflowing with story. It’s a gold mine for Marvel nerds that may be dizzying for the rest. Yet the central conflict between superfriends Steve and Tony stays in focus, even escalating in a real and tragic way as the plot progresses and weaves in Winter Soldier’s history of breaking bad to tear them apart even further. Rather than rooting for the fisticuffs, it hurts to watch these men, brothers in a sense, punch and blast each other into oblivion — a testament to two actors totally on their game but also to audiences’ investment in these characters paying off in dramatic fashion.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Kansas scoring hopes slim

Stayin’ put

Overall, it appears Kansas University’s football team has more depth than at the end of spring football 2015, but still not have sufficient depth by Big 12 standards. The defense in particular looks deeper and more experienced. Yet, the search is on for signs that Kansas will have an easier time scoring than in recent seasons, beyond the addition of explosive wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez. Generally, winning a Big 12 football game requires scoring somewhere in the 30-to-50-point range. Kansas has scored more than 21 points just once in its past Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos 28 Big 12 games.

Festival ‘fun’ for LHS, FSHS By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

The last time Free State High’s baseball team played at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark, the Firebirds were jumping on top of each other in a dog pile near the first-base line, celebrating their Class 6A state championship. The Firebirds return to KU for their first of three games in the 15th-annual River City Baseball Festival at 3:45 p.m. today against St. James Academy. “Naturally, there are some good memories there for quite a number of our kids from last May, but they are about creating new ones as opposed to reliving old ones,” Free State coach Mike Hill said. “That’s what they are looking forward to.” The Firebirds (7-1, ranked No. 2 in 6A) have followed the same formula that won them their state title last season: strong pitching and solid defense. They’ve allowed more than three runs in only one game this year. But playing three games in three days will give the

Firebirds a chance to use more pitchers at the varsity level. They’ve only used four pitchers this season: seniors Hunter Gudde, Trevor Munch and Parker Tietjen, and junior Aaron Funk. The left-handed Munsch, who has signed to pitch at Oklahoma, will start against St. James (4-4) today. Free State will play Tulsa (Okla.) Memorial at 3:45 p.m. Friday at FSHS, then finish the weekend against O’Gorman (S.D.) at 11:15 a.m. Saturday at KU. “We say we’ve got pitching depth, but we’ve only thrown four guys this year,” Hill said. “We don’t feel comfortable with that. We need to get other guys ready to go.” Lawrence High (4-4) opens against Tulsa Memorial (9-14) at 6 tonight at Hoglund Ballpark on a three-game winning streak. Each year, the Lions treat the festival as a mini state tournament. At state, teams must win three games in two days. “With the exception of the postseason excitement, it’s one of my fa-

vorite times of the year,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “You get to see a lot of good friends. As a coaching staff, we get to scout, like, 16 opponents, so we get a lot of good information. And it’s just fun to be around baseball three days in a row.” The Lions will face O’Gorman (4-4) at 8:15 p.m. Friday at LHS, and play Maize (6-2, ranked No. 8 in 5A) at 6 p.m. Saturday at Hoglund. Beyond playing three games in three days, one of the most enjoyable experiences for the Lions is playing at KU. At the end of each season, the Lions will face Free State in a game at Hoglund Ballpark, but that doesn’t make these games during the festival any less special. “What (KU) coach (Ritch) Price has done up there, he’s made it into a phenomenal facility,” Stoll said. “The atmosphere is always kind of cool. You’re playing in a Div. I stadium, and the kids really get excited for it. Heck, at 44, I still get goose bumps taking the field. It’s a lot of fun and something to look forward to every year.”

Coleby recovering: Self said he hoped 6-9 juniorto-be Dwight Coleby, formerly of Ole Miss, who is six months removed from ACL surgery, will be able to begin contact work in June. “He’s doing physical stuff now, hopefully fullcontact by June, but definitely not yet,” Self said.

we’ve put ourselves in a real favorable position. We’re going to be really good next year,” Self told the fans. “We’re really excited, and our staff would tell you, I haven’t been this excited probably going into a summer or a spring than what I am right now, because I know what these guys are capable of.”

Mr. Jayhawk Part Two: Senior Perry Ellis was presented with the Danny Manning “Mr. Jayhawk” team MVP Award for the second straight year. “It means so much to me. Having a great team around me. They helped me so much,” Ellis said. He revealed he has signed with agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports and today will travel to Houston to begin preparing for the draft with former NBA coach John Lucas. “I’m trying to work as hard as I can, just try to be me, see what happens,” Ellis said. “Continue to push out the range, work on ball-handling, being myself, confident and comfortable.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR FORWARD PERRY ELLIS GIVES HIS THANK YOU to those in attendance at the KU basketball banquet after receiving the 2016 Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award on Wednesday at Abe and Jake’s Landing. “We are not disappointed, (but) certainly he is not (ready for that at this time).” Of Coleby, he said: “He’s looking very good. He has a chance to really make us better with his physical presence and soft touch.” l

No hurry on letters: KU did not receive the letters of intent of Josh Jackson or Udoka Azubuike on Wednesday, first day of the monthlong signing period. Jackson reportedly may wait a few days and sign the letter at the same time as his mom, who has been his inspiration. Azubuike hails from Nigeria, and it could take a day or so to get that letter faxed to KU. He’s

in New York preparing for the upcoming Jordan Brand Classic. l

Recruiting: Self has three scholarships to give and has indicated he could be looking for up to two transfers and perhaps a freshman big guy. The Jayhawks are in the running for No. 20 ranked Jarrett Allen, a 6-9 senior from St. Stephens Episcopal in Austin, Texas. Self could not deal in specifics in accordance with NCAA rules. Of the team, he said: “We’re set. We haven’t got any letters-of-intent back yet, so we obviously can’t comment on it, but I feel really good about who we’re going to sign this spring. I think

This, that: Selden wore a spiffy new black hat to the banquet. “How much did that cost?” Self asked Selden, who responded, “45 dollars.” “These are good kids ... snappy dressers,” Self added. ... Bob Davis served as emcee. He has retired as voice of the Jayhawks after 32 seasons. His successor should be named in the near future. ... Self said he knew Bragg would be returning for about two weeks. “He hadn’t told me for sure he wanted to do anything (formal announcement). I told him the banquet would be a perfect opportunity,” Self said. “He announced it from his chair,” Self added, shaking his head and smiling. l

KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ WATCHES HIS TWO-RUN HOME RUN in the eighth inning of the Royals’ 4-2 victory over the Astros on Wednesday in Houston.

Perez homers to spark Royals Houston (ap) — Fresh off winning the MVP award in the World Series, Salvador Perez kept waiting for his first real big hit of 2016. On Wednesday night, he delivered. Perez tagged Houston reliever Ken Giles for a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning, lifting the Kansas City Royals over the Astros 4-2 Wednesday night. The champion Royals have taken two of the three from the team they beat in the decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series last October. This four-game set wraps up today. “I have struggled a little, but every time I go to hit, I try to do the best I can do to do something to help us win,” Perez said. Giles (0-1) retired the first two batters in the eighth before walking Alex Gordon on a full count. Perez followed with a drive off the facade above the Crawford Boxes in left field for his first homer of the year. “He got a slider, and he didn’t miss it,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. Giles has given up three home runs in four games, and flung his glove in the dugout after this latest shot. He was acquired from Philadelphia in the offseason after giving up a total of three homers in 113 games over the past two years. “Nothing happened to Giles, it’s more a mistake at the wrong time to the

wrong hitter, and he took advantage of it,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. Jose Altuve had three hits for Houston, including a solo home run. He tied it at 2 with an RBI double in the seventh off Luke Hochevar (1-0). Kelvin Herrera pitched the eighth and Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for his first save.

“I didn’t really think about it until the end of the year, when everything was all said and done,” Roberts said of his accolades. “In the middle of the season, all you think about is winning state. That’s all that really matters, so I didn’t really think about it until after the season was over.” Roberts made an official visit to Toledo at the end of February and made an oral commitment a few days later. He always hoped to play college basketball, but completing that dream wasn’t without a few bumps in the road. Roberts tore a ligament in a knee last April and injured a shoulder during the season. “It’s always something that I dreamed of. It’s still shocking that it’s actually come true for me,” Roberts said. “But the work is not done here. I still have four more years to try to get better.” Roberts will leave Lawrence for Toledo at the end of June, but he was more than happy to look back at what he accomplished at his signing ceremony. “It definitely was a special run,” Roberts said. “I loved everybody who I played with. They made my four years really special here.”
