the region looking for areas where noxious weeds have taken over. It then notified the landowners of the problem, let them know they can purchase herbicide at the county at a 25 percent discounted rate and then required them to control the problem within days.

Often those notifications come in late May and early June, when a particularly troublesome noxious weed, the musk thistle, begins to flower. An extremely effective way to control musk thistle is through spraying the herbicide known as 2,4Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, or 2,4D. But when the herbicide is sprayed at temperatures above 85 degrees (which is frequent in late spring), the chemicals vaporize. In the right climate conditions, the vapors can drift

T O P E K A — State Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, on Friday released copies of legal records, letters and Facebook pictures in alleging that Kansas Bioscience Authority leader Tom Thornton has conflicts of interest.

This investigation has to be larger and made more public. What we presented here is just the tip of the iceberg.”

But there was a strong push back from supporters of Thornton and the KBA. They accused Wagle of an ambush.

Former Kansas Gov. John Carlin, who now serves as chairman of the KBA board, said Wagle’s public accusations threaten the state securing government funding of the $650 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, and the future of the KBA, which was created in 2004.

“You were brilliant in 2004, and we are about to screw it up,” Carlin said during a sometimes heated Commerce meeting.

GREG SHIPE, OWNER OF DAVENPORT ORCHARDS AND WINERY in Eudora, tries to keep a keen eye on his grape vines for any sign of damage from herbicides that other farmers and the county use to control noxious weeds. Herbicide 2,4-D can be detrimental to his crop if used improperly.

County asking landowners to use herbicide in fall to reduce crop damage

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In the fight against noxious weeds, Douglas County is borrowing a concept straight from the courtroom: diversion.

No, the county isn’t giving invasive weeds a second chance to get their act together before putting them away for life. But it is asking landowners to wait until fall before applying herbicide on weeds that flower in late spring and early summer.

It’s a tactic that could result in the spraying of fewer chemicals and a reduction in the negative effects the herbicides have on nearby crops, said Mike Perkins, who is the operations division manager at Douglas County Public Works.

For more than a decade, the county attempted to balance the need to

When those vapors reach sensitive crops, the results can be devastating. keep noxious weeds from spreading and finding methods to destroy those weeds without damaging sensitive crops, such as tomatoes and grapes.

With more people looking to open vineyards and grow specialty crops, the issue will become more pressing, Perkins says.

Kansas University named Stephen W. Mazza, interim dean of the School of Law, to the permanent post Friday.

Mazza said he was honored to accept the position. He has been a member of the KU law faculty since 1998. He has practiced tax law in a large Atlanta firm and has served as an acting professor at New York University.

He said that though challenges exist for legal education, with groups questioning law schools’ methods and what they teach, he saw it as an opportunity to improve the school.

“The ultimate goal is to improve the quality and reputation of the law school,” Mazza said. “We want to have a national reputation for being

the best law school in the region.”

He said that would take increased alumni support and support from university administration, which has already been strong, he said. Mazza Mazza’s selection ends a search that took a little longer than expected, after a first attempt to find a dean failed.

KU Provost Jeff Vitter said that after the first search, he offered the job to another candidate — Michael Moffitt — who instead opted to become dean at the University of Oregon.

He was serving as Oregon’s interim dean at the time and decided to stay in Oregon for several reasons,

Vitter said, including that his wife held a high-ranking position in Oregon’s athletics department.

Vitter said several alumni asked him to hire Mazza, who wasn’t a candidate in the first search, after the first search didn’t yield any viable candidates.

Mazza said at the time the search began after Gail Agrawal left for the University of Iowa in January 2010, he hadn’t decided if he wanted the full-time job.

“By the time I decided I did, the process was so far along, I felt that putting my name in would be disruptive,” Mazza said Friday.

Vitter said that after the first candidate chose to stay at Oregon, he opted to reopen a national search instead of hiring Mazza at that time.

During the second search, two other law schools — at the Universi-

ty of South Carolina and St. Louis University — expressed interest in Mazza as part of their searches for new deans, Vitter said.

Mazza will make $250,000 per year in his new position.

He said he was “quite happy” with the way the process ended, and said the search committee returned several strong candidates.

Vitter praised Mazza’s listening abilities and his ability to work with the entire law school during a recent overhaul of the school’s first-year curriculum.

“That’s going to be important as the school moves forward,” Vitter said of Mazza’s ability to work well with other people.

Advance voting opportunities are available today

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Registered voters may cast their ballots ahead of time and in-person during extended and expanded advance-voting opportunities today in Lawrence and area towns.

Douglas County Clerk’s Office will open locations for advance voting from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at: ● Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass. ● Baldwin City Fire Station, 610 High St. ● Eudora City Hall, 4 E. Seventh St. ● Lecompton City Hall, 327 Elmore St. The hours today are intended to make it easier for voters take advan-

tage of advance voting should they so choose, said Jamie Shew, county clerk. Such voting has been going on for more than two weeks during regular business hours weekdays at the County Courthouse.

“This is a great opportunity for someone to just be able to vote and not have to worry that they have to get to work in Kansas City or something,” said Shew, the county’s chief elections officer. “It’s one more opportunity to provide convenience and flexibility to the election.”

In-person advance voting will continue from 8 a.m. to noon Monday at the County Courthouse. After that, voters looking to cast ballots inperson will need to show up at their

regular polling places sometime between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday, which is Election Day. Anyone with a completed mail-in ballot must see that it is received at the courthouse by 7 p.m. Tuesday to be counted.

Tuesday is Election Day for many local governments. Among them will be the five-member Lawrence City Commission, which has three seats available, and the seven-member Lawrence school board, which has four seats available.

Thus far, Shew said, more than 620 ballots already have been cast through advance voting, leading him to predict an overall voter turnout of about 20 percent, which would be typical for an April election.

CANDIDATE FAIR TODAY A Candidate Fair for Lawrence City Commission and Lawrence school board is set for 10 a.m. to noon today at the Lawrence Visitor Information Center, 402 N. Second St. Candidates have been invited by the Voter Education Coalition to pass out materials and meet with voters.

“This is a new event for us, and we hope local voters will take advantage of this opportunity to meet informally with candidates,” said Pattie Johnston, co-chairwoman of the coalition.

for miles. When those vapors reach sensitive crops, the results can be devastating.

Each year, Davenport Winery owner Greg Shipe sees his grapes damaged from 2,4-D. While none of his grapes have been killed, over time the herbicide weakens the vine and he has to replace them.

If the problem were better controlled, Shipe said he would be able to plant more grapes and expand his vineyard.

“Because we have to replace grapes, we can’t gain any acreage that way,” he said.

The best time to knock out noxious weeds is in the fall after the first cold snap, said Bill Wood, director of Douglas County’s K-State Research and Extension office. That way the herbicide will be absorbed all the way down to the root and won’t come back until spring. It also will be sprayed after the sensitive crops are harvested.

For years, Wood, Shipe and the Public Works Department have tried to figure out ways to educate landowners about the damage herbicides can do to surrounding crops.

The state can issue fines when herbicides drift onto someone else’s property destroying crops. However,

determining who is at fault can be difficult. “(2,4-D) is very inexpensive, fairly productive in what it does. It’s used in yards and pastures and used for certain crops, so lots of people use it,” Wood said.

The county has handed out brochures and created maps of where sensitive crops are grown. More than 40 landowners are listed on the map, including those who grow grapes, tomatoes, berries, apples, pumpkins, bees and strawberries.

When landowners come to buy herbicides, the county shows them the map and recommends spraying in the fall.

It also sends educational material to everyone who has bought chemicals in the past year and encourages specialty crop owners to register.

This summer, when the county comes across a patch of noxious weed, it will ask that landowner to find a way to control the weed until the fall, when chemicals will be sprayed. Most of the time, the landowners will have to mow the weeds once or twice to keep them from going to seed.

“Our long-term goal is if we can get people to treat weeds at the appropriate time, eventually we can use less chemicals and better control the weeds,” Perkins said.

KBA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Several committee members said they were upset that Wagle gave the documents to KBA officials at the start of the meeting, not giving them time to get answers to the allegations before making the allegations public.

“This is getting a little bit ridiculous,” said Sen. Rob Olson, R-Olathe. “It’s like we’re trying to shotgun them. Let’s give them questions.

Let’s give them time to answer.”

Sen. Jeff LEGISLATURE Longbine, REmporia, said, “This hearsay back and forth I am really uncomfortable with.”

At the start of the meeting, Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, Vice President John Vratil, R-Leawood, and Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka sat in the front row in the audience to show their support for the KBA. Thornton was not present at the meeting.

I think when the speed limit’s 70, people drive 75 or 80. I think when it’s 75, they drive 80 or 85. We will see an increase in fatalities on our highways and we will see an increase in the severity of injuries on our highways.”

Other supporters argued that Kansans already are traveling more than the top speed limit of 70 mph on major highways already, and the change recognizes it.

The bill allows the secretary of transportation to set the new speed limit on divided, four-lane highways. The Department of Transportation estimates 1,060 miles of highway would be eligible, mostly interstates and roughly 10 percent of the state’s total highway miles.

But Sen. Vicki Schmidt, a Topeka Republican, said the change will make major high-

The red light provision is a response to complaints from motorcyclists about traffic signals that don’t change unless they’re triggered by sensors when a motorist approaches them. They note motorcycles and bicycles often are too light to trigger such signals, in theory leaving their riders waiting for long periods.

The measure says that with a “steady” red signal, motorcyclists and bicyclists can move through the light after “a reasonable period of time.”

Last month, Kansas attracted national attention when Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Tyro, said perhaps the state should consider shooting illegal immigrants from helicopters.

Peck said he was joking when he made the comment following a committee discussion about a program that controls feral hogs using gunmen in helicopters. He initially refused to apologize but then issued a two-sentence apology after Republican leaders applied pressure.

Somos Republicans issued a statement, saying it was disappointed in O’Neal “for holding a reasonable resolution hostage after his representative made a violent remark.”

woman answering the phone at the KBA said she didn’t know when Thornton would return to work.

Morris said the KBA “was an icon for the state of Kansas.”

The KBA is in charge of investing $581 million in tax funds to attract high-tech bioscience companies to Kansas.

Hensley said the attack on Thornton was part of a plan

by Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, to get rid of Thornton and replace him with his own pick. Brownback has denied trying to interfere with the KBA but has given his blessing to Wagle’s inquiries.

Wagle said her records show that Thornton had steered KBA funds to companies that were run by his business associates from Illinois.

She said he also served as president of a Chicago-based Internet company that had lost $421 million in 18 months and has been under the scrutiny of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Carlin said he would answer all questions about Wagle’s allegations but would need time. Wagle said the committee will meet again to discuss the KBA on April 27.

In the packet of information handed out by Wagle,

there were three pictures of Thornton at an office staff party.

In one he is photographed with his wife, Lindsey, who had worked for Thornton at the KBA. Wagle has criticized the salaries and bonuses at KBA. Thornton earns $265,000 per year and last year received a $100,000 bonus. His wife, Lindsey, was making $107,500 per year as director of special projects, but recently left the KBA. In another photo, Thornton is signing checks. David Vranicar, president of Heartland BioVentures, a program of the KBA, said those were KBA business checks that had to be signed the day of the party.

There also was a photocopy of a $100 bill with Ben Franklin’s face replaced with Thornton’s. KBA officials said that was simply a joke.

Committee members also had questions about a couple of investments by the KBA into companies that eventually failed or didn’t get off the ground. KBA officials said it was the nature of the business that some investments would be better than others.

Ex-KU football player sentenced

1 | KENTUCKY

States turn over lethal injection drug The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has taken supplies of a key lethal injection drug from Kentucky and Tennessee, effectively preventing any executions in three states while it investigates how the drug was imported during a national shortage.

States have been scrambling over the past year to find a new supplier of sodium thiopental, a fast-acting sedative in a three-drug cocktail used when putting inmates to death, since its primary manufacturer in the United States stopped making the drug.

In March, the DEA took Georgia’s entire supply, putting a hold on executions there following claims from a defense attorney for a death row inmate that the state bought the drug from a fly-by-night outfit in the United Kingdom.

Kentucky officials confirmed Friday that they turned their supply over to the DEA and Tennessee officials said Friday that they relinquished theirs on March 22.

Jamal Greene to serve jail time for holding students at gunpoint

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A former Kansas University football defensive lineman convicted of holding four students at gunpoint last May was sentenced Friday to serve 60 days in jail and three years on probation.

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin warned Jamal Greene Jr., 23, if he fails to comply with his probation terms after getting out of jail he could spend nearly four years in prison.

Greene pleaded guilty on Feb. 3 to aggravated burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly

weapon.

Greene admitted to entering a unit early in the morning on May 14, 2010, at Tuckaway Apartments, 2600 W. Sixth St., as Greene part of an attempted robbery.

Martin sentenced Greene to the same punishment she had given a month ago to co-defendant Vernon Brooks, another former KU football player, who had pleaded no contest to the same charges.

“I don’t think anyone can imagine the terror that those people felt when you and Mr. Brooks entered the apartment and when a gun was held to one of their heads, and that terror was purely inflicted by you,” Martin told Greene Friday.

Martin said she was trying to Bob Woodward strike a balance in the case because Greene had “done everything right” since he was arrested after the incident. He was kicked off the KU team the afternoon after the incident, and Brooks had already been dismissed from the team prior to Please see SENTENCING, page 4A

Price slashed for preemie drug The maker of an expensive drug to prevent premature births slashed the price by more than half on Friday, following an outcry over the high cost and moves by federal regulators to keep a cheap version available.

The drug is still pricey at $690 per weekly injection but it is a drastic reduction from the $1,500 price charged by KV Pharmaceutical Co. when it went on the market last month. The company also announced rebates and other steps to give the drug to needy pregnant women at little or no cost.

The price cut came two days after federal officials said they would not stop specialty pharmacies from continuing to make a generic version that sells for $10 to $20 a dose, as has been done for years.

3 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

FDA proposes calorie counts on menus Like it or not, many restaurant diners will soon know more about what they are eating under menu labeling requirements proposed Friday by the Food and Drug Administration.

The requirements will force chain restaurants with 20 or more locations, along with bakeries, grocery stores, convenience stores and coffee chains, to clearly post the amount of calories in each item on menus, both in restaurants and drive-through lanes. The new rules will also apply to vending machines where calorie information isn’t already visible on the package.

The calorie counts will apply to an estimated 280,000 establishments and could be on menus by 2012. Required as part of health overhaul legislation signed into law last year, they are designed to give restaurant diners information that has long been available on packaged goods cooked at home.

Recent news reports suggest President Obama is likely to kick off his bid for a second term in the White House at a rally in Chicago on or near April 14.

This may be the official kickoff date, but Obama has been planning and running his campaign for a second term since 2007, when he first announced his intention to be a candidate for the presidency.

It would be interesting to know whether Obama has made any major decision or taken a public stance on any significant issue without first considering how his action or position would affect his chances of winning public votes.

He is a masterful politician surrounded by a close-knit team of talented, tough and perhaps ruthless advisers and consultants.

His 2008 campaign for the Democratic nomination and eventual

presidential election was a textbook effort. He put together a highly talented team with a strategy that eventually swamped his closest Democratic competitor, Hillary Clinton, and then defeated the GOP hopeful, Sen. John McCain.

Results of the 2010 state and national elections, with Republicans regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives and narrowing the Democratic majority in the Senate, along with major Republican gains in statehouses across the country all combined to cause GOP leaders to think they had a fairly good chance of defeating Obama and picking up more seats in the Senate.

There is no room for any cockiness in the Republican Party.

Obama ran a superior campaign in 2008 and he will try to do the same in the 2012 election.

The candidates themselves, their personal, professional and political

records, the manner in which they present themselves, their knowledge and understanding of challenges facing this country, their ability to communicate and articu-

COMMENTARY late their positions and even their personal appearance all play a major role in their electability.

However, the 2008 election made clear the role of money.

As the lyrics in the Broadway show “Cabaret” say, “Money makes the world go ’round.” The same is doubly true in politics.

Following the 2008 elections, Dole Institute of Politics Director Bill Lacy, put together a gathering of individuals who played leading roles in the campaign efforts of both Democratic and GOP candidates for the presidency. It was a blue rib-

bon group of the country’s top political operatives.

At this two-day event, two men who had been intimately involved in the Obama campaign told of the fantastic job Obama supporters had done in organizing and executing the campaign.

First, they had money, perhaps as much as $500 million. They said the campaign had so much money they didn’t know what to do with it. A McCain worker pointed out money was one of the serious negative factors in the senator’s campaign because several times, they just about ran out of money. Lacy, who came in late to run the Fred Thompson campaign, said money and a lack of organization were the major obstacles to getting the Thompson campaign off the ground and gain traction with voters.

Now, Obama spokespeople are talking about raising $1 billion for his re-election effort.

Obama and his staffers refused to accept federal campaign funds because that would have limited how much he was allowed to raise on his own. Public funding of presidential campaigns has been the cornerstone of U.S. politics since the 1970s, but the Obama campaign has made it a relic that will not be used in future campaigns.

In fact, Obama’s fundraising efforts were so good, there were sizable funds left over. During the 2010 elections, some Democratic candidates tried to get Obama to allocate funds to their respective campaigns but were denied because Obama wants an even larger war chest for his own 2012 election.

Will Republicans be able to come anywhere close to Obama in raising money? Not likely.

It may not be right to talk about it or acknowledge it, but money can, Please see COLUMN, page 4A

Sentencing the incident.

“I do find that community safety is not endangered by you remaining in the community,” Martin said. “You do have support. There’s a plan in place for offender reformation.”

The four students testified at an October hearing that two men wearing black ski masks at 1:30 a.m. entered the apartment armed with handguns and forced them to the ground.

Prosecutors and police said Greene and Brooks came into the apartment because they thought they could steal drugs and money from a back bedroom. Greene’s gun was not loaded.

Deborah Moody, an assistant district attorney, asked for Martin to sentence Greene to prison, but Moody said if Martin granted him probation she asked for the 60 days in jail.

Greene is now a student at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, where he played football last season, and defense attorney Joshua Allen had asked Martin to spare Greene from jail time so he could finish the semester and because he has been invited to a workout with the Kansas City Chiefs on April 12.

Allen said Greene, originally from Kansas City, Kan., was remorseful for his actions and that the incident was “out of character” for Greene. He also said Greene wanted to be able to provide for his two children.

“He has recognized that his decision-making process on

HealthWave backlog eliminated

Kansas Health Policy Authority has eliminated the backlog of HealthWave applications.

HealthWave is a program for uninsured or underinsured children and low-income families who do not have access to affordable health insurance.

At one time, applications over 45 days was 20,385.

KHPA Medicaid director Barb Langner said Thursday that number is now 104 and a majority of those are awaiting additional information.

She also said the total number of applications on hand has declined from a peak of 35,227 to about 2,000, a total consistent with the timely processing of applications.

The backlog was eliminated after KHPA received notification of noncompliance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in April 2010 regarding timely determination of eligibility.

the job as Dole Institute director, and offered to help in any way he could.

“Since 2004, I’d just kind of been waiting for the right time to impose upon his time,” Lacy said.

With the recent focus on international affairs and a new armed conflict beginning in Libya, the timing seemed right, Lacy said.

that day was extremely poor, and he’s taken steps to address the issues that were the cause of the poor decision-making,” Allen said. “He feels horrible for what he did to those people.”

Greene and family members asked Martin for leniency, and Greene said he planned to seek treatment for anger management and alcohol abuse.

Martin still ordered Greene be taken into custody at the jail after the hearing but said she would take under advisement any requests for him to be released for work.

Other conditions include registering as a violent offender, abiding by any treatment recommendations and paying costs in the case.

and does, win (buy) elections. Would he have been able to beat Clinton and then McCain without his tremendous bank account?

This raises another point.

Obama had the best organization of any candidate and this, too, will play a significant role in the upcoming campaign.

His team put together information on millions of people, individuals who contributed money and individuals who agreed to commit time and energy to help elect Obama. The professional use of the Internet in raising money and volunteers was amazing, and these names are still in Obama’s files.

The two Obama staffers at the Dole Institute event told how volunteers did not just agree to knock on doors for a day or two or place “Vote for Obama” signs in front yards. Rather, they agreed to spend a week or even a month to help the campaign.

And some helpers were available to move to other parts of the country where Obama may have needed some help.

Again, the names of these individuals still are on Obama’s list of those he can call on to help in the 2012 campaign.

Democratic strategists tried and used every possible means to stir up hatred for

Bush and blame Bush for anything wrong on the domestic or foreign scene. Justified or not, it didn’t matter, and the same tactic is being used today to try to justify many of the challenges now facing Obama.

Whether this will be as effective in the 2012 election is yet to be seen.

The Obama re-election campaign has been under way since he moved into the White House. In talk after talk, and in his legislative agenda, whether the subject focuses on clean energy, oil wells, jobs, the environment, the economy, banks, personal income, education, health care, the automobile industry, Social Security, taxes or most anything else, Obama is careful not to say anything that might anger his traditional supporters.

For example, even though state after state is facing extreme f inancial challenges, Obama has waded in to make it clear he will not support any legislation that would harm union members, even if it was in the best interests of the state.

Wisconsin and Ohio offer clear examples of how far Obama will go to get the union vote.

In a speech this week, he told an audience his concern about jobs, saying the American dream of every citizen who wants a job having a job is the last thing he thinks about before going to bed and the first thing he thinks about when he wakes up. It may sound good, but if this is the case, it’s far more about how the jobless rate might affect his re-election than about any noble-sounding concern.

Also, as a sign of his campaign, he is using “I” more and more frequently in his speeches, trying to make it clear, not too indirectly or subtly, that it is he who is in charge and if those in his audience want a continuation of his policies, his “fundamental change in this country,” they must vote to keep him in office.

Republicans face an extreme challenge in trying to wrest control of the White House in 2012.

Obama is a tough, wellfinanced, well-organized and ruthless incumbent!

Three factors will play a great role in whether the GOP can make it a tight race: the president’s actual record, the state of the economy and who is the GOP candidate.

Everyone needs a hero, and I want to be yours! I’m about one year old and my extra fluffy coat is white but for black ears, tail, and saddle patch — all in all, quite a unique look! And, oh my, do I love to play.

But I’m a well-balanced boy, always taking time for getting and giving affection. And when you come and take me home, you’ll always know that you’re MY hero!

Here’s the great thing about me: I love to play and am very outgoing with people and other cats, but I’m not a rowdy boy. That’s why everyone likes me so much — I know when to say when! I’m about 9 months old, with a classy black coat and curious green eyes. I’m not crazy about all noise here, but in a loving home, I know the world will become a beautiful place.

With a name like mine, you have to have all the charm in the world just to get by. Don’t worry, I’ve got what it takes. I’m about a year old, coal black with bright green eyes. I’m an alert and curious fellow, and all the noise at the shelter makes me wonder. But give me a safe home and watch the charm start rolling.

Sweet and loving — that’s the boy I am (with a name you can’t forget!).

Hey! I’m looking for an active family on the go. I’m a Lab mix, 1 to 2 years old, and my sleek black coat has only one tiny spot of white … on my chest near my very kind heart. I’m happy, friendly, and full of love, but none of that matters if I’m all alone.

Man to serve 4 months in jail for DUI, child endangerment

Who's responsible for cleaning up the creek area that runs underneath the road at the corner of West 22nd Street and Hartford Avenue? I noticed there was a refrigerator crate and By George Diepenbrock other trash in there. gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A:

According to Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the city, the city is responsible for cleanup of areas that are considered public right of way.

Private land would need to be cleaned up by the owner.

Without knowing for sure if the area is public or private, Gilliland recommends complaints such as this be lodged with the stormwater engineering division, 832-3123.

Matt Bond, stormwater engineer, will review this area to determine whether it is a public or private issue.

A judge on Friday ordered a 40-year-old Lawrence man to serve four months in jail and pay a $1,500 fine for a conviction of his third DUI and child endangerment for a September accident that injured his son in southeastern Lawrence.

District Judge Paula Martin also ordered Juan Velasco to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and get a sponsor as part of several conditions of his two-year probation term once he gets out of jail July 29.

Velasco had pleaded guilty in February to his third DUI, which is a felony, and child endangerment. Police said that on Sept. 25 Velasco’s son CALL SOUND OFF fell out of the bed of his pickup truck while trying to hold If you have a question for on to a basketball goal in the Sound Off, call 832-7297.

problems with Velasco in the last two weeks and allowed the workrelease to continue as part of his new four- Velasco month sentence.

If his probation is ever revoked, Velasco could serve one year in jail.

The accident occurred when the family was moving and Velasco’s pickup truck hit a bump in the street. The boy was trying to hold onto a portable basketball goal in the truck bed, but when the truck hit the bump he and the goal fell out into the street.

The boy was eventually taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where he stayed for more than one week for treatment, including for burns from falling into the street. A 16year-old stepson was also in the back of the truck but was not injured.

Lee Ann Crawford, the boy’s grandmother who is his legal guardian, was not at Friday’s hearing, but she spoke in court two weeks ago and said Velasco had not respected the law in the past after being convicted twice of DUI. She said the family moved to Lawrence last summer for her job and that Velasco and his current wife were living with her and the children at the time of the accident.

Crawford said she was not aware at the time Velasco

drank heavily and that the boys got into the back of his truck that day.

“Even after the incident, Mr. Velasco continued to drink,” Crawford said in court on March 18.

By court order, Velasco is currently not allowed to have contact with the boys, but he said he hoped to gain some visitation rights later this year.

“I’m going to stop (drinking). I’m going to get all the help that I can,” Velasco told Martin.

Attorneys have scheduled a restitution hearing later this summer to discuss Velasco’s responsibility for paying medical bills in the case.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • Two Lawrence men were arrested Thursday evening as suspects in a burglary of an unoccupied building near Teepee Junction north of Lawrence, said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s office spokesman.

Lewis said a Lawrence police officer stopped the men, Jose Carlos Miranda, 45, and Joseph Vincent Palamara, 48, after the men were suspected of taking scrap metal from a former business in the area. Douglas County prosecutors Friday filed felony burglary and theft charges against Miranda and Palamara.

Miranda also has a hold from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to jail records.

The woman alleged Gangel had touched her while they were inside a car and that later in a local apartment she awoke to him molesting her, McGowan said in court Friday.

Defense attorney Tom Bath told District Judge Peggy Kittel that as part of the plea agreement the two sides will ask the judge to sentence Gangel to serve two years on probation with 30 days in jail as “shock time.” He would also be required to complete a sex offender evaluation and follow all recommendations, but prosecutors will not ask the court to require him to register as a sex offender, Bath said.

Kittel is scheduled to sentence Gangel on June 14.

Report: Farmers plan huge planting season W I C H I T A — A new government report shows Kansas farmers expect to plant more acres in corn this spring than in any year since 1936.

The Agricultural Statistics Service reported Thursday growers plan to seed 5.1 million corn acres this year, up 5 percent from last year.

The forecast means growers are seeding more corn and soybeans combined than winter wheat.

The agency also forecast soybean acreage to reach 4 million acres. Although down 7 percent from a year ago, it would still be the second largest soybean acreage in Kansas history.

Sorghum plantings in Kansas were predicted at 2.5 million acres — the most in the country and a 6 percent increase from last year.

About 132,000 acres of sunflowers are also anticipated to be seeded.

Legislators enter next budget phase

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — The next challenge facing members of the House and Senate will be reconciling competing versions of the 2012 Kansas budget, following the release of a new revenue report that shows March tax collections were roughly $19 million below expectations.

Officials pinned the shortfall mostly on income tax refunds paid to people who filed electronically who normally file later in the spring.

Senate leaders expect the declines to be made up in April.

“Anytime you get a negative monthly report it’s not good news,” said Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican. “I think there is somewhat of an extenuating circumstance in this report. Certainly not good news, but probably not as bad as it seems.”

An updated revenue forecast will be released April 15.

Legislators will use those numbers to adjust the budget as reconcile differences in the House and Senate versions.

“Is it a concern? Yeah. Now if this month (April) is down it’s a great concern,” said Rep. Bill Feuerborn, a Garnett Democrat and member of the House budget negotiating team. “I think that’s why the bigger ending balance was pursued.”

Both chambers propose spending about $14 billion from all funding sources, including about $6 billion from state revenues.

However, the House creates a larger savings account at the end of the fiscal year to the sum of about $80 million.

Senators are suggesting saving $8 million, a bit more than what Republican Gov. Sam Brownback proposed in January.

If state revenue collections continue to miss estimates, the Senate plan would be out of balance, requiring cuts next fiscal year. But legislators will instead make those adjustments in April, since Kansas is constitutionally prohibited from passing a budget with a deficit.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, said the March revenue numbers bolster his chamber’s budget plan, giving a cushion against another dip in the Kansas economy.

“We should be in pretty good position to compromise on a budget ... we should have a healthy enough ending balance that we shouldn’t worry about making payments during the next year,” he said.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are monitoring state sales tax figures that missed the monthly estimate by $7 million and were off $9 million for the first nine months of the fiscal year.

Kansas increased the sales tax rate to 6.3 percent from 5.3 percent in 2010, which has generated more than $220 million more than through the first nine months of 2010.

O’Neal said a continuation of the March decline bears monitoring.

“I think you have to figure in we lose a lot of revenue for Internet sales. Until we can get back that, our sales tax

“

We should be in pretty good position to compromise on a budget ... we should have a healthy enough ending balance that we shouldn’t worry about making payments during the next year.”

— House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson will be lower,” Feuerborn said.

O’Neal said a legislative fiscal analyst has suggested that sales taxes were lagging and could signal slower economic growth.

Senate Vice President John Vratil, a Leawood Republican who will be negotiating the budget compromise, said the two versions weren’t far apart, but there were a few areas of “glaring differences that make headlines.”

Among those could be the cut proposed for the state’s 289 school districts. Senators propose cutting the base aid per student by $226, going from $4.012 to $3,786. The House would cut the rate to $3,762, but O’Neal said other bills are in the works that would redefine at-risk students and give districts more flexibility in using reserve accounts.

Neither has passed the House, but O’Neal said they would add several hundred dollars back to the base state aid without increasing state spending.

Vratil isn’t impressed with the House interest in shifting money to mask cuts in education.

“They deal more with accounting gymnastics than they do with substantive changes in the law,” Vratil said.

Obama says spending deal close; Boehner disagrees

By David Espo Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — A bullish President Barack Obama said Friday that compromise is close with Republicans on $33 billion in budget cuts, and he warned that without a deal the ensuing government shutdown would “jeopardize our economic recovery” just as jobs are finally being created.

Despite his assessment, negotiators reported little progress, Senate Democrats backtracked on a key concession from earlier in the week and Congress’ top Republican sounded less optimistic than the president that a breakthrough was imminent.

“There is no number.

There is no agreement on a number” on how much to cut, insisted House Speaker John Boehner, who is under pres-

sure from tea party-backed conservatives not to give too much ground. Still, he added, “I am not preparing for a government shutdown.”

Funding for the government expires next Friday at midnight, and without action

by Congress, a partial shutdown would follow.

The day’s events occurred against a backdrop of unusually upbeat news about the economy, which is still recovering from the worst recession since the Great Depression. The Labor Department reported that companies added 216,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell slightly to 8.8 percent.

Nearly six weeks after the House passed a bill calling for $61 billion in cuts, it appeared the endgame was at hand in the first of what is expected to be a series of political bat-

tles over the size and scope of government.

“We will be working through the weekend to forge a compromise,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. At Republican insistence, Congress has already cut $10 billion in spending as part of a pair of stopgap spending bills to keep the government open for business.

While another short-term bill has not been ruled out, Obama, Boehner, Reid and others have said they would prefer to complete work on a six-month bill to close out the budget year.

Already, Republicans are looking ahead to unveiling a 2012 budget next week, after weighing privately whether to delay so they could focus all of their attention on the current clash.

Administration officials

have been heavily involved in the negotiations on the spending bill, but the president struck something of an above-the-fray note on Friday.

“Given the encouraging news we received today on jobs, it would be the height of irresponsibility to halt our economic momentum because of the same old Washington politics,” he said.

“It can’t be ‘my way or the highway’ politics,” said the president, who has sought in recent months to recapture the support of independents who helped elect him in 20008 but defected to the Republicans in last fall’s elections.

“We know that a compromise is within reach. And we also know that if these budget negotiations break down, it could shut down the government and jeopardize our economic recovery.”

Afghans riot, kill 7 in response to Quran burning

By Deb Riechmann Associated Press Writer

KABUL , A FGHANISTAN — Afghans angry over the burning of a Quran at a small Florida church stormed a U.N. compound in northern Afghanistan on Friday, killing seven foreigners, including four Nepalese guards.

Afghan authorities suspect insurgents melded into the mob and they announced the arrest of more than 20 people, including a militant they suspect was the ringleader of the assault in Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital of Balkh

province. The suspect was an insurgent from Kapisa province, a hotbed of militancy about 250 miles southeast of the city, said Rawof Taj, deputy provincial police chief.

The topic of Quran burning stirred outrage among millions of Muslims and others worldwide after the Rev. Terry Jones’ small church, Dove Outreach Center, threatened to destroy a copy of the holy book last year. The pastor backed down but the church in Gainesville, Fla., went through with the burning last month.

Four protesters also died in the violence in Mazar-iSharif, which is on a list of the first seven areas of the country where Afghan security forces are slated to take over from the U.S.-led coalition starting in July. Other demonstrations, which were peaceful, were held in Kabul and Herat in western Afghanistan, fueling resentment against the West at a critical moment in the Afghan war.

Protesters burned a U.S. flag at a sports stadium in Herat and chanted “Death to the U.S.” and “They broke the heart of Islam.” About 100

people gathered at a traffic circle near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. One protester carried a sign that said: “We want these bloody bastard Americans with all their forces to leave Afghanistan.”

U.N. peacekeeping chief Alain LeRoy said the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, Staffan De Mistura, who is in Mazari-Sharif, believes “the U.N. was not the target.”

“They wanted to find an international target and the U.N. was the one there in Mazar-i-Sharif,” LeRoy told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Unemployment drops to 2-year low

By Jeannine Aversa Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The nation’s unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level in two years in March, and the outlook is brightening as major companies plan to add more jobs.

Increased hiring cut the unemployment rate to 8.8 percent — an encouraging sign for the unemployed and for President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects.

Still, the job gains haven’t led many people who stopped looking for work during the recession to start again. Fewer than two-thirds of American adults are either working or looking for work — the lowest participation rate in 25 years.

The economy added 216,000 jobs last month, the government said Friday. Factories, retailers, the education and health care sectors, and professional and financial services all expanded payrolls.

Those gains offset layoffs by local governments, construction and telecommunications.

The improved outlook propelled the Dow Jones indus-

trial average to a 2011 high in early trading. Stocks then pared their gains as oil prices climbed to 30-month highs.

The Dow closed up about 57 points, or 0.46 percent.

The private sector added more than 200,000 jobs for a second straight month. It was the first time that’s happened since 2006 — more than a year before the recession started.

And it could mark a turning point in job creation. America’s largest companies plan to step up hiring in the next six months, a March survey of CEOs found. Google, Siemens Corp. and Ford Motor Co., among others, have said they plan to add workers.

Economists expect the stronger hiring to endure throughout the year, producing a net gain of about 2.5 million jobs for 2011. Even so, that would make up for only a small portion of the 7.5 million jobs wiped out during the recession. The economy must average up to 300,000 new jobs a month to significantly lower unemployment.

The unemployment rate has fallen a full percentage

point since November, the sharpest four-month drop since 1983. Stepped-up hiring is the main reason. But a more sobering factor is that the number of people who are either working or seeking a job remains surprisingly low for this stage of the recovery.

People without jobs who aren’t looking for one aren’t counted as unemployed.

Once they start looking again, they’re classified as unemployed, and the unemployment rate can go back up.

That can happen even if the economy is adding jobs.

Just 64.2 percent of adults have a job or are looking for one — the lowest participation rate since 1984. The number has been shrinking for four years. It suggests many people remain discouraged about their job prospects even as hiring is picking up.

A falling unemployment rate is vital for Obama, who is 19 months from a re-election vote and facing a lineup of potential Republican challengers who will make his stewardship of the economy the dominant issue.

the worst days of “theDuring Iraq War, this regime

funneled terrorists into Iraq to fight U.S. troops and Iraqi allies.”

the world that the thug ordering the shooting of innocents already is a reformer, thus effectively endorsing the Baath party line — “We are all reformers,” Assad told parliament — and undermining the demonstrators’ cause.

Third, it’s strategically incomprehensible. Sometimes you cover for a repressive ally because you need it for U.S. national security. Hence our muted words about Bahrain. Hence our slow response on Egypt. But there are rare times when strategic interest and moral imperative coincide completely. Syria is one such — a monstrous police state whose regime consistently works to thwart U.S. interests in the region.

During the worst days of the Iraq War, this regime funneled terrorists into Iraq to fight U.S. troops and Iraqi allies. It is dripping with Lebanese blood as well, being behind the murder of independent journalists and democrats, including former Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri. This year, it helped topple the pro-Western government of Hariri’s son, Saad, and put Lebanon under the thumb of the virulently anti-Western Hezbollah. Syria is a partner in nuclear proliferation with North Korea. It is Iran’s agent and closest Arab ally, granting it an outlet on the Mediterranean. Those two Iranian warships that went through the Suez Canal in February docked at the Syrian port of Latakia, a long-sought Iranian penetration of the Mediterranean.

Yet here was the secretary of state covering for the Syrian dictator against his own opposition. And it doesn’t help that Clinton tried to walk it back two days later by saying she was simply quoting others. Rubbish. Of the myriad opinions of Assad, she chose to cite precisely one: reformer. That’s an endorsement, no matter how much she later pretends otherwise.

And it’s not just the words; it’s the policy behind it. This delicacy toward Assad is dismayingly reminiscent of President Obama’s response to the 2009 Iranian uprising during which he was scandalously reluctant to support the demonstrators, while repeatedly reaffirming the legitimacy of the bru-

tal theocracy suppressing them.

Why? Because Obama wanted to remain “engaged” with the mullahs — so that he could talk them out of their nuclear weapons. We know how that went.

The same conceit animates his Syria policy — keep good relations with the regime so that Obama can sweet-talk it out of its alliance with Iran and sponsorship of Hezbollah.

Another abject failure. Syria has contemptuously rejected Obama’s blandishments — obsequious visits from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, and the return of the first U.S. ambassador to Damascus since the killing of Hariri.

Assad’s response? An even tighter and more ostentatious alliance with Hezbollah and Iran.

Our ambassador in Damascus should demand to meet the demonstrators and visit the wounded. If refused, he should be recalled to Washington.

And rather than “deplore the crackdown,” as did Clinton in her walk-back, we should be denouncing it in forceful language and every available forum, including the U.N. Security Council.

No one is asking for a Libya-style rescue. Just simple truth-telling. If Kerry wants to make a fool of himself by continuing to insist that Assad is an agent of change, well, it’s a free country. But Clinton speaks for the nation.

PUBLIC FORUM

Public benefit?

To the editor: Treanor Architects wants to move their offices into downtown Lawrence and wants the Lawrence taxpayers to help pay for the move.

The Public Incentives Review Committee believes this is a benefit to the community. What are the benefits? Moving 60 employees from the west side of Lawrence to downtown is not a benefit. Taking 50 public parking spaces when there already is a parking shortage is not a benefit. If they move, what will happen to the two buildings they already occupy? Two more vacant offices on the west side. That is not a benefit!

Per the Journal-World article, there appears to be no benefit to Lawrence, just potential loss of future revenue.

The three taxing entities — city, county and school district — are all in dire financial need. School closings, infrastructure repair, layoffs, home foreclosures all forecast a downward financial spiral. The taxing bodies should be looking for areas to generate revenue, not give it away.

If Treanor really wants to move downtown, they will!

others?” As co-chair to site council, active PTO member, volunteer and father to two great children, my answer was a letter to Superintendent Rick Doll.

Late Monday he strongly urged the school board to close Wakarusa Valley, once again leaving the emotional nightmare for parents and staff to deal with. Although he was there Tuesday morning, he was gone before classes began. I find it odd that one person would show up to console 197 students and 44 staff members. As if that isn’t enough, the very person who has pushed to close Wakarusa for two years shows up to offer support?

All along this has been his facade, “wanting what is best for students of our community.” Really? If he truly had their best interests in mind, there would have been “qualified counselors” and other concerned staff Tuesday morning, and he would not have been there. His behavior is condescending to those of us who have integrity, morals and an obligation to stand up for what is right. He should ask himself: “What would my mother think about the choices I make?”

I, and many others, have lost all trust in Doll due to decisions he has made at the expense of USD 497 students.

We have many questions that need honest answers and we need to know.

Valley where facts were not presented in an open manner. Enumerated below are examples of discrepancies and/or misinformation.

1. Parents of Broken Arrow students were not notified directly of the potential boundary changes leading many BA parents to realize the impact for their families just days before the vote.

2. At the March 28 school board meeting, USD 497 presented incomplete and misleading information on bus routes.

3. Dr. Doll stated on March 28 that the task force was never told to cut $3 million from elementary budgets. However, within the task force Draft for Discussion dated Jan. 31, 2011, the task force was told to plan for budget cuts of $3 million.

When task force members asked to look at other budget items, they were told to look only at elementary schools.

4. The public was told that closing schools was necessary because of the $3 million shortfall as well as future projected budget cuts. Yet now fullday kindergarten at Sunflower and BA will be funded by the savings realized by closure of WV. 5. The budget cuts necessary to reach $3 million were not revealed until the March 28 meeting, preventing the public from meaningful interaction with the district about these cuts or the possibility of saving an additional, relatively small portion to save WV.

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

®

Stacked process To the editor: Dr. Doll, the Wakarusa families do not have a big “stupid” plastered on their foreheads. It was never about a $3 million budget deficit. You targeted Wakarusa for closure two years ago because you see no value in rural schools. We knew we were the target when you forced our principal to leave and took almost every staff member we had except the classroom teachers for the current school year.

You set up the task force to shut up the Wakarusa families and have us think there was true community involvement. Then you stacked the task force with the majority of members you could manipulate to go along with closing Wakarusa, so they could save THEIR schools in town and you could carry on your mission. It didn't matter that our school was the one that didn’t cost more to continue operating and that we were the one that, with boundary changes, could easily take on more students and solve the overcrowding in the schools in town.

At the Monday board meeting, you miraculously found $2.5 million, with closing Wakarusa filling out the additional $500,000 savings, and now we also magically have enough money to fund all-day kindergarten in two more schools! It’s too bad you don’t have a crying child you have to explain this to.

Forgive me if my child doesn’t greet you with a smile. We are on to you!

Report links Morris twins to agent

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

RB Sims mystery no more The mysterious James Sims, who quietly had a monster freshman season at running back for Kansas University’s 3-9 football team, was the source of bewilderment among reporters.

Sims, one of the team’s few players worth marketing, made that difficult to do. After a attending a couple of media sessions, he decided he wasn’t comfortable doing interviews and shut it down for the year.

Sims considered that a problem, so he did what driven athletes do when they perceive they have a weakness. He worked on it and solicited the help of trained professionals. Sims said he asked, “some of my (communications) teachers,” at KU to Sims help him.

“They just had cameras in my face, asking me questions that the media would ask me, and I would just have to answer them,” Sims said.

It wasn’t until he saw replays of himself that he came to the same conclusion as reporters who had interviewed him: He’s pretty darn good at it, which made his reluctance so puzzling.

“Yes, sir, I was (surprised),” he said with a big smile.

More importantly, he was pretty darn good at running the football.

Sims’ productive season somewhat got lost in the overall disappointment of a football season, Turner Gill’s first as head coach, that didn’t generate much buzz.

Sims didn’t play in the loss to Division I-A North Dakota State, so don’t blame that one on him. In Week 2, he became the first true freshman to rush for 100 yards (101, to be exact, plus a touchdown) in his debut against Georgia Tech. Two games later, he rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns vs.

New Mexico State. In the comeback against Colorado, his totals were 123 yards and four rushing touchdowns.

Kansas went 3-0 when Sims rushed for 100 yards, 0-9 when he didn’t.

His 742 yards were eighth among NCAA freshmen in 2010, and his 10 touchdowns (nine rushing) led the Jayhawks. He’s listed at 6-foot, 226 pounds and comes from Irving MacArthur High in the Dallas Metroplex, where current KU receivers coach David Beaty was head coach when Sims was an eighth-grader being wooed by Beaty. Sims also knew Gill before coming to Kansas.

“I had a good feel for coach Gill when he was at Buffalo because he recruited me real hard over there,” said Sims, who has fielded punts in practice.

“He’s a real good guy.”

That strong relationship didn’t prevent Gill from loading up on running backs. Sims will compete for carries with redshirt freshman Brandon Bourbon and incoming freshmen Darrian Miller, Anthony Pierson and Dreamius Smith.

“Regardless of if you had an amazing year, you’re still going to have to compete,” Sims said.

“Coach Gill made it clear there are no spots reserved for anybody, no matter who you are or what you did.”

Bigger and faster backs than Sims are in the competition, but that doesn’t mean they’re better. Sims has proven he knows how to find the holes. If someone beats him out, look for big things from that someone.

Kansas University’s Morris twins are one step closer to declaring for the NBA Draft.

Yahoo! Sports NBA reporter Marc Spears reported Friday that juniors Marcus and Markieff Morris met with aspiring agent Jason Martin in Beverly Hills, Calif., earlier this week.

Spears’ sources say Martin “treated the twins to a night of entertainment Thursday at the Eden nightclub in Hollywood.”

If the twins had any expenses paid for by a prospective agent, they’d be ineligible to play at KU next season. It’s OK for players to speak with agents and/or runners as long as they accept no benefits.

“I’ve heard the same things

being reported about the twins, that they are in L.A., but I have not visited with them. I am not aware of them being in L.A.,” KU coach Bill Self told the JournalWorld on Friday.

“I met with the team on Tuesday, and they knew I would be in Houston (for Final Four activities). I said I would talk to them next week.”

Several sources have spotted

the twins in California this week.

According to Yahoo!Sports, Martin has no current NBA players as clients. Yahoo says Martin is “being aggressive on the scene.

His eyes are also on Colorado guard Alec Burks, Baylor forward Perry Jones and Texas forward Jordan Hamilton, according to sources.”

I’ve heard the same things being reported about the twins, that they are in L.A., but I have not visited with them.”

Jayhawks on quest for respect

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Last spring, the focus for Kansas University’s football team was on replacing some of the school’s alltime greats.

This year, the Jayhawks are determined to regain the respect those guys brought to the program, and their quest began Friday, when they kicked off spring drills for the second time under coach Turner Gill.

“We definitely want respect from our fans and from our opponents,” junior wide receiver Kale Pick said. “You gotta come out and work hard and get some wins for next season. That’s our ultimate goal. It’s the offseason, and we’re working hard to be a better team and improve for next season.”

While working toward their goals officially began Friday, it really started weeks ago during the offseason, just days after their seasonending loss to Missouri. Several Jayhawks said the program’s offseason conditioning was more rigorous this winter, and many of them pointed to last season’s disappointment as the reason for the ramped-up drive.

“We’ve got a chip on our shoulder,” said sophomore linebacker Huldon Tharp, who missed all of 2010 because of a foot injury. “We went 3-9, and that’s not something any of us are OK with. Everybody

QUARTERBACK QUINN MECHAM pulls back to throw. on this team is going to work as hard as we can to get back to the Orange Bowl and compete for a Big 12 championship. That’s everybody’s goal, so that’s what we’re gonna work toward.”

Tharp was one of a handful of players who received an extra dose of inspiration from Friday’s first day of spring drills. “(I’ve been waiting for this day) since the day I was injured, since I found out I wasn’t gonna play last season,” Tharp said. “Anybody that loves the game of football can’t wait to get back on the field.”

A freshman All-American in 2009, Tharp had carved out a bright future for himself as the next in a long line of ultra-talented linebackers to come through KU’s program. But that’s when the injury popped up.

It surfaced during spring ball in 2010. Rest and treatment was the prescription, but, on the first day of preseason camp, Tharp found out neither worked, and he injured the foot again. Now, a little less than a year after he first was injured, Please see FOOTBALL, page 4B

Ka’aihue’s walkoff lifts Royals

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kila Ka’aihue was just hoping to get the inning started. With one swing, he brought an end to the whole game.

The Hawaiian-born first baseman, who had struck out twice, slammed Michael Kohn’s second pitch of the ninth inning over the right-field fence for his first major-league walkoff home run

Friday night, lifting Kansas City past the Los Angeles Angels, 2-1.

“I was just trying to get a hit and start us off,” he said. “I got a good pitch to hit, and that’s it.

Our team is playing really well.

The emotions and confidence is high here.”

Kohn (0-1) relieved Jordan Walden to start the ninth and was ahead 0-1 in the count when Ka’aihue connected.

“It was a fastball,” said Ka’aihue, who said he hadn’t ended a

game with a home run since his days in Double-A. It caught a lot of the plate and I put a good swing on it.”

Joakim Soria (1-0) threw an eight-pitch ninth for Kansas City.

The Royals tied it 1-all in the fourth on an infield out by Jeff Francoeur after Billy Butler singled and moved up on a hit and a wild pitch.

Kansas University’s baseball team enjoyed a resurgence of power on Friday, blasting two home runs in a 6-2 victory over No. 19 Baylor at Hoglund Ballpark.

“It’s been a long time,” KU coach Ritch Price said with a smile.

Eleven games to be exact. The Jayhawks — who had posted just four home runs in their first 24 games — hadn’t homered since March 11 against Eastern Michigan.

KU senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stopped that streak in the first inning, pulling a 1-2 pitch over the wall in right for his first homer of the year.

It was just the start of the Jayhawks’ power Friday.

In the fourth inning, KU junior Zac Elgie launched a two-run homer well past the left-field wall to extend the Jayhawks’ lead to 4-0.

“That was a bomb,” Waters said. “Zac’s on top of that plate, and he’s looking for that one pitch. And he got it.”

Meanwhile, KU starter T.J. Walz continued a series of strong performances.

The senior right-hander posted a season-high 11 strikeouts, allowing just three hits and two runs (one earned) over 7 2⁄3 innings.

It was the third time in Walz’s last four starts he’d recorded at least 10 strikeouts.

“When his changeup’s working, he’s really tough to hit,” Price said. “That’s as good of a changeup as he’s had all season.”

Walz credited a slight change in his body tilt for increased command of his fastball, which has allowed him to stay ahead of hitters more often.

Baylor’s lineup also consisted of four left-handed batters followed by five right-handed batters, which helped Walz get into a rhythm.

For the lefties, he’d go with a combination of fastballs and changeups, and for the righties, he’d alternate fastballs and sliders.

Because both groups of hitters were lumped together, Walz was able to get comfortable with his Please see BASEBALL, page 4B

COMING SUNDAY

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

HOUSTON — Connecticut freshman guard Jeremy Lamb recently was struck with this thought: “Man, I can’t believe we’re in the Final Four.”

He could have easily tossed Kentucky, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth into the mix.

Outside of two or three blindfolded dart throwers, no one believed in this Final Four.

Imagine, three weeks ago, writing out today’s lineup cards for Houston’s Reliant Stadium: Butler vs. VCU in one national semifinal game and Connecticut vs. Kentucky in the nightcap.

That would have required VCU, a very un-Reliant double-digit-seeded team that couldn’t win the Colonial FINAL FOUR Athletic Association, surGame 1: Butler vs. viving a “first-round” game in Dayton and then VCU, 5 p.m. winning four more.

Game 2: UConn vs.

Yeah, right.

Kentucky, 7:30 p.m.

And Butler, which lost TV: CBS (5, 13, 205) star Gordon Hayward off last year’s impossible dream team, digging out from a Feb. 3 loss at Youngstown State.

Got any more snake oil?

“I never thought we’d be sitting here,” Butler coach Brad Stevens said on a seat in Houston.

And Connecticut’s Huskies, who finished 9-9 in their league, would suddenly flip their twitch and go on ultra-marathon run through the Big East tournament and, then, the West Regional?

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court would not connect those dots.

Then there’s Kentucky, which lost five first-round picks to the NBA last year and couldn’t get out of its regional. The Wildcats were simply going to rearrange the coast-to-coasters and win this year’s East?

Put some bluegrass in a pipe and smoke it.

Yet, it all happened, and now here comes the fun part: All the experts who couldn’t predict any of this are going to tell you who’s going to win today ... and why.

Some motor mouths might tell you Butler and VCU is the junior varsity game and UConn-Kentucky is the real title game.

Because that’s what we were taught back in NCAA school: Kentucky and Connecticut have combined for 11 NCAA titles. Coaches Jim Calhoun and John Calipari are the serious, hardened veterans.

Butler’s coach Stevens, because of irritated eyes, has been forced to wear glasses that make him look even younger than 34.

“I have found that I’m a better coach when I can see than when I can’t, so that’s the reason I’m wearing the glasses,” he said.

Shaka Smart, VCU’s 33-year-old coach, could be found at Friday’s practice diving after loose balls as part of a teachable moment.

“It’s a drill we do pretty regularly with our team,” Smart said.

Somewhere, Rick Majerus just fell off his chair.

Bottom line: Figure out this Final Four at your own peril.

Seek out insight, go on ESPN, break down the tape, make a prediction and see how silly you look Sunday.

Do not attempt to extrapolate anything from the regular season and apply it to anything we’ve seen so far.

Connecticut, for instance, defeated Kentucky by 17, in Hawaii, back in November.

What does that mean? Some of the freshmen who played in that game, well, they’re shaving now. Kentucky’s Brandon Knight is four months wiser, but so is Connecticut’s silky-smooth Lamb.

“I don’t really feel like a freshman anymore,” he said.

No one has a clue what’s going to happen in the freakiest Final Four ever.

This is the first time a No.1 or No. 2 has no seed at the table. The total seeding number of the four schools, 26, tops the old record by four.

You can pontificate on high about the key players and possible pivot points.

Surely, in the first game, Butler is going to have to control tempo and throw a spike strip down at the three-point line. VCU, in the tournament, has shot a ridiculous 44 percent from three-point range.

Connecticut vs. Kentucky, of course, is all about the star guards, Walker and Knight.

You might have already noticed this hasn’t been the best tournament to break out your “Amazing Kreskin” impression.

Beware the weekend signposts and proceed with caution.

Report: Kruger accepts offer to coach OU LAS VEGAS — Lon Kruger is taking on another rebuilding project, this time at Oklahoma.

Kruger tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he accepted an offer to become the Sooners’ head coach. Kruger says he turned down Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione several times before agreeing to a seven-year contract that will double his pay to about $2.2 million annually.

Kruger says in a story posted Friday night that he “would be lying if I didn’t say money was a consideration. But it was not only money.

It was the challenge and the opportunity.”

He added of his time at UNLV: “It has been a very enjoyable seven years, and really it’s very difficult to move on.”

Oklahoma has not announced plans to introduce a coach to replace the fired Jeff Capel.

While he said he is optimistic about the Fiesta’s future, Beebe stressed it is still too early to determine whether his conference and the Bowl Championship Series will continue to do business with the Arizona game.

“Yes I am confident,” he said, “but I’m not there yet.”

Ex-UConn recruit ready to talk

Former Red Sox GM dies

NEW YORK — Nate Miles is open to talking to the NCAA about his recruitment by Connecticut, and the former prep star told The New York Times that Huskies coach Jim Calhoun knew he received improper benefits from a former team manager.

Connecticut, which faces Kentucky in the Final Four today, was penalized by the NCAA in February for recruiting violations involving Miles and other infractions. Calhoun was cited by the NCAA for failing to create an atmosphere of compliance within the program and suspended for the first three Big East games of the 2011-12 season.

Miles, who was expelled from UConn in October 2008 without ever playing for the Huskies, refused to participate in the investigation.

BOSTON — Former Boston Red Sox general manager Lou Gorman, the architect of the team that came within one strike of winning the 1986 World Series, died early Friday morning of congestive heart failure. He was 82.

A native of Rhode Island, Gorman helped launch the expansion Seattle Mariners in 1976 and also worked for the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals and New York Mets.

TENNIS Nadal cruises past Federer KEY BISCAYNE, FLA. — The capacity crowd expected a classic instead of a clunker, and so when Rafael Nadal began to pull away from an erratic Roger Federer, a chant broke out.

“Ro-ger! Ro-ger!” fans shouted, trying to inspire a comeback.

Then came a response. “Ra-fa! Ra-fa!”

The din didn’t change the course of the match. Nadal advanced with surprising ease Friday night, drubbing Federer, 6-3, 6-2, in the semifinals of the Sony Ericsson Open.

Nadal usually receives a trophy when he beats Federer. This time, the reward is a chance to play Novak Djokovic — No. 1 vs. No. 2 — for the title today.

Missouri St. hires Purdue aide SPRINGFIELD, MO. — Missouri State must have figured the last basketball coach it hired from Purdue turned out pretty well.

The Bears announced Friday night that Boilermakers assistant Paul Lusk had agreed to take over their program. He replaces former Purdue assistant Cuonzo Martin, who resigned after three seasons in Springfield to become Tennessee’s next coach.

“Paul is a quality person, an excellent coach and will be a tremendous addition to Missouri State,” athletic director Kyle Moats said in a statement. “He is a proven winner and has had success at every level. I know our fans will embrace Paul and his family.”

GOLF Lewis has three-stroke lead RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. — Stacy Lewis persevered through more desert heat to shoot a 3-under 69 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, opening a three-shot lead Friday over Yani Tseng, Brittany Lincicome and Jane Park.

Lewis finished at 9-under par after several big putts during the second round.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Beebe encouraged by response Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe says he is encouraged by the Fiesta Bowl’s response to an investigative report that led to the firing of its longtime president for alleged misuse of funds.

The Big 12 has a contractual agreement to send its champion to the Fiesta Bowl if that team is not playing for the national championship.

“I feel good about their commitment to do the right thing,” Beebe told the Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. “There hasn’t been a reluctance or pushback (from Fiesta officials) at all.”

Beebe said he has been in contact with Fiesta Bowl officials often in recent weeks, and they have asked for help and suggestions for how to reform the organization’s leader-

Kirk takes lead at Houston Open HUMBLE, TEXAS — PGA Tour rookie Chris Kirk shot a 3-under 69 to take a one-stroke lead over defending champion Anthony Kim and 2008 winner Johnson Wagner after two rounds at the Houston Open.

Kirk was 9-under par and played his last few holes just as the wind picked up in the afternoon and made scoring more difficult.

Kim shot a 64, the lowest round of the day, and Wagner had a 67.

Gary Woodland shot a 70 and is 3-under par.

Tharp said he’s close to 100 percent again.

“I’m still working through soreness,” he said. “But, structurally, everything’s fine. I’m just trying to get back into the swing of things.”

Another player dying to do just that was Darius Willis, a sophomore linebacker who transferred from Buffalo after the 2009 season and sat out during 2010.

“I’ve been waiting on this day since the f irst day I stepped on campus,” Willis said. “I can’t wait to play with these dudes. I really can’t wait. I’m ready to get going.

Today felt good, just being out there with my teammates, knowing that we’re all in it together. It starts today. Ain’t no looking back now. What goes on from here on is work.

We’re preparing for the Big 12 Conference.”

The Jayhawks have 14 spring practices remaining, including the April 30 spring game. They’ll return today for practice No. 2 and then will take Sunday off before getting back after it on Monday.

Gill said he liked what he saw on Day 1.

“I loved their energy,” he said. “We changed a little bit of the format. We’ve got everybody getting a lot more reps, and it was good to see our guys come out and perform in a good way, enthusiastic and running around.... ready to go.”

QB job up for grabs Six players lined up to compete for the starting quarterback position in 2010. That number was trimmed down to three Friday, but the KU coaching staff still finds itself without a clear-cut answer to the question that plagued the team all of last season: Who is your starting quarterback?

“It’s in question,” Gill said.

“I can’t sit here and say who’s gonna be ready to start. We’re gonna evaluate each and every day, and at the end of spring

An announcement is expected sometime next week after the twins speak with Self. Self had no comment on what day the twins would make the decision on their futures known. Players have until April 25 to declare for the draft.

The twins are considered locks to be first-round picks.

Marcus currently is projected to be taken No. 17 in the first round and Markieff No. 23 in the 2011 draft by draftexpress.com. ●

BRIEFLY Kansas tennis beats Iowa State again, 4-3 AMES, IOWA — Kansas University squeaked out a 4-3 tennis victory over Iowa State on Friday, the Jayhawks’ 34thstraight victory over the Cyclones.

The victory snapped a fourmatch Big 12 Conference losing streak for KU (7-8 overall, 1-4 Big 12). ISU fell to 10-9, 1-4.

KU won two of three doubles matches to win the doubles point, but dropped all three of the top singles matches.

But Paulina Los, Erin Wilbert and Dylan Windom won at the Nos. 4-6 singles spots to earn the victory for KU. Kansas will travel to Nebraska on Sunday.

If not, we’ll continue to evaluate as we go into the fall.”

Competing for the job this fall are returning starters Quinn Mecham and Jordan Webb, along with red-shirt freshman Blake Jablonski. No matter how any of them perform this spring, all three likely will have to win the job again, when highly touted freshman Brock Berglund reports to camp this fall.

Gill said he was impressed with what he saw from his top returners.

“I think the one thing is, they’ve gotten stronger,” he said of Mecham and Webb. “I think that’s gonna help a lot of things, being able to stay healthy, being able to take the hits and then being able to make better decisions.”

Pick happy at WR He opened the 2010 season as the team’s starting quarterback. This year, he’s fighting for a spot in the wide-receiver rotation.

A lot has changed for KU junior Pick in the last year, but the Dodge City native seems content with his new position.

“I’ve actually started to like wide receiver quite a bit,” Pick said. “I’m still as competitive, but I’m trying to get a widereceiver spot. It’s actually more competitive because it’s a deeper position.”

Walz still needed help getting out of a two-on, two-out jam in the bottom of the seventh with KU leading 4-2.

Following his second consecutive walk — and 127th pitch — Walz was pulled in favor of KU closer Colton Murray, who coaxed a comebacker from BU pinch-hitter Josh Turley to end the inning.

After KU tacked on two runs in the bottom of the eighth, Murray worked around a walk to strike out the side in the ninth for his fifth save.

Starters Dan Haren of the Angels and Francis both went seven impressive innings, allowing only one run and six hits.

Haren, going for his fourth win in his last five starts in Kansas City, hurt himself with a wild pitch that helped the Royals score their lone run off him. He had six strikeouts and no walks.

Francis, who signed as a free agent from Colorado, gave up five hits and one run, walking one and striking out four.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rangers turn back Red Sox The Associated Press

Rangers 9, Red Sox 5 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Pinchhitter David Murphy delivered a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth inning, and the Rangers rallied for a victory on Friday after raising their American League championship flag.

Murphy’s slicing liner off Daniel Bard (0-1) kicked up chalk when it landed on the left-f ield line. That sent Rangers newcomers Mike Napoli and Yorvit Torrealba home to break a 5-all tie. Murphy scored on a double by Elvis Andrus before another double by AL MVP Josh Hamilton.

White Sox 15, Indians 10 C L E V E L A N D — Carlos Quentin homered and drove in f ive runs, Adam Dunn homered and had four RBIs in his debut for Chicago, and the go-for-broke White Sox built a huge lead and held off Cleveland’s scrappy comeback in their season opener.

The White Sox splurged during the offseason in an attempt to win the AL Central after finishing second to Minnesota in 2010, and the club’s $125 million payroll looks like money well spent — so far.

Phillies 5, Astros 4 PHILADELPHIA — Pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. lined an RBI single off closer Brandon Lyon that capped a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday.

Trailing 4-2 to start the ninth, the Phillies got going when Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard started with singles off Lyon (0-1). After Raul Ibanez popped up, Rollins stole third, and Ben Francisco lined an RBI single. Carlos Ruiz followed with a single, and Wilson Valdez hit a tying single that kept the bases loaded with one out.

Mayberry then sent a shot over drawn-in center fielder Michael Bourn, kicking off a celebration after he touched first base.

The Rev. Kent WintersHazelton, senior pastor, First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway: The images left following natural disasters in Japan, Haiti and Louisiana leave us stunned and full of questions.

The suffering that accompanies such devastation can challenge our faith.

The ultimate answer to the question of suffering lies beyond our most compassionate hearts and wisest minds.

As Christians, we believe that the planet is a living organism which follows the laws of nature. The terrific winds and storms come about because of the rotation of the earth and its movements in relationship to the

sun. Earthquakes occur because the tectonic plates of the earth move, releasing energy and force. God does not change this, nor does God bring about these specific events in a particular context.

We believe that God is fully aware of the difficulties we face in life. At the heart of the Christian gospel is the suffering of Jesus on the cross of Good Friday.

In the torture and crucifixWinters-Hazelton ion of God’s son, we believe that God is touched by the fullest human experience of loss. Out of love for us

God is present with us, not causing chaos but entering into it, not sending calamity but suffering through it, not standing over us but holding tightly onto us and promising never to let go.

Thus, we acknowledge that God is active in the middle of such tragedies and that God uses us to help carry out God’s gracious will. God is present in the aid being rushed to Japan, in the workers continuing their rescue efforts against great odds, and in the gifts we give to organizations such as our denominational relief efforts, the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.

We partner with local organizations to distribute funds, resources The Rev. Jill Jarvis, Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence, 1263 N. 1100 Road: We are all vulnerable to the misfortunes that are part of living in the natural world.

Poverty, war, injustice, disease, economic recession, natural disaster — we don’t deserve any of these.

Yet we and our brothers and sisters, next-door and around the world, suffer in body and spirit from their effects.

Our faith calls us to use our resources to reach out to those in need, and to do so in ways that respect their inherent worth and dignity. Our symbol, the flaming chalice, was f irst seen in Europe under Nazi occupation. As the Unitarian Service Committee smuggled refugees to safety, it wanted to provide a symbol of hope that would be recognized by those in urgent

need. Today, our flaming chalice represents faith in action, inspiring us to service, justice and compassion.

In providing help and comfort, we neither prosthelytize, nor attempt to impose our ways on other cultures. In disaster relief efforts we partner with local organizations Jarvis which can best make decisions about distributing the funds and other resources our congregations provide.

We work not only to meet physical needs, but also to protect basic human rights.

Following the earthquake in Haiti, we worked alongside our partners to respond to the cholera epidemic, supply food and clothing to thou-

sands of displaced persons, and provide training in trauma response.

Responding to abuse in the refugee camps, we also created child-protection committees, and trained community activists to work against the increasing tide of genderbased violence. Locally, the Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence held a chili fundraiser within a week of the earthquake, raising more than $2,500 for relief efforts.

Our Service Committee is on the ground with our Japanese partners working to determine how best to use the resources pouring in from our congregations as the disaster continues to unfold.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Japan in this difficult time of loss and destruction.

Grown child takes advantage of parents’ guilt

Dear Denver: Kids are great at playing on their parents’ guilt. Stiffen your backbone, and tell Joe he will not be permitted to become a freeloader simply because you love him.

If he wants to remain in the house, he must contribute either rent money or household help, no excuses, and if that is too much to ask, he is welcome to f ind another place to live. We also recommend you contact CHADD (chadd.org) for information and suggestions about adult ADD.

I’d like to warn your readers to be careful what they wish for. I feel stuck, but hope I can find the words to end this relationship for both of our sakes so we can each move forward. — Mrs. Miserable in California

We are both Dear Annie: I have been unhappy and deserve better. married for 36 years. “Alvin” Please come with me for and I have not had a good marriage in a long while and have separated several times. In the past few years, Alvin has been unfaithful.

After a recent affair, I shamed Alvin into reluctantly returning home. I now realize that no amount of time will fix the lack of trust. I truly cannot forgive him for his years of infidelity. I no longer love him. We have nothing in common except our grown children. I do not enjoy or want to be intimate with him.

I am tired of pretending things are OK. I am miserable, and I know he is not happy, either. I do not enjoy being around his family. The last time we separated, I dated other men and found it refreshing. I now wish Alvin would leave, but I doubt he

Two-time host Jack Black returns to lead the ‘Kid’s Choice Awards’ Jack Black hosts the 2011 “Kid’s Choice Awards” (7 p.m., Nickelodeon). A slimefilled tradition since 1988, “Choice” honors the shows and movies from the past year as chosen by Nickelodeon viewers.

But its real purpose is to promote projects soon to reach theaters during the forthcoming summer silly season.

Black, who recently appeared in the largely unseen “Gulliver’s Travels,” also hosted the awards in 2006 and 2008. Justin Timberlake, a host in 2007, will be honored as a philanthropist and environmentalist with the “Big Help” award. I’m not sure whether his performance in “The Social Network” fell into any of the kids’ categories.

Look for musical performances by the Black Eyed Peas as well as the manufactured Nickelodeon artists Big Time Rush. For the record, the hosts for the first awards in 1988 were Tony Danza, Debbie Gibson and “Head of the Class” co-stars Brian Robbins and Dan Schneider. ● Things go bump, often in the night, on “My Ghost Story” (9 p.m., Biography), now entering its second season. ● Jeannie Mai returns to host “How Do I Look?” (7 p.m., Style), now in its 12th season. In a spasm of originality, the season opener will concern a high-school reunion and wedding insecurities.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Shia LaBeouf stars in the 2007 toyinspired movie “Transformers” (7 p.m., ABC). ● Houston hosts a Final Four game of the NCAA Basketball Tournament (7:30 p.m., CBS). ● Full-moon madness on “Being Human” (8 p.m., BBC America). ● A tale of self-absorption tarted up as spiritual empowerment, the 2010 adaptation of “Eat Pray Love” (8 p.m., Starz) stars Julia Roberts. ● Rihanna and Rhod Gilbert appear “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America). ● Elton John hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Leon Russell.

Cult choice Few 2010 movies were subject to more scathing reviews than “Sex and the City 2” (7 p.m., HBO).

Series notes Business can be murder on “Harry’s Law” (7 p.m., NBC) ... On back-to-back episodes of “Cops” (Fox), Sacramento (7 p.m.), Amarillo (7:30 p.m.) ... A hit-and-run driver leaves a pregnant victim for dead on “Law & Order: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., NBC) ... John Walsh hosts “America’s Most Wanted” (8 p.m., Fox) ... Gambling and violence on “Law & Order: SVU” (9 p.m., NBC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Saturday, April 2: This year, you feel energized, though sometimes you wear yourself down and spread yourself too thin. Do maintain good health habits. Use care with strong feelings. If you are single, you could meet someone delightful, though you might not want to make a commitment too quickly. If you are attached, the two of you could become much closer if you express your vulnerabilities. A fellow Aries can push your buttons.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You perk up considerably. Someone reveals his or her true feelings. To some, you are unpredictable, like a lightning bolt. Tonight: As you like.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Need some time off from the daily grind? If you had all the time in the world, what would you like to do? Pretend today is just such a day. Tonight: Know that more news is forthcoming.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Zero in on what you want. Join some friends who are going to a

game, concert or movie.

You might be surprised by what is going on around them. Tonight: Where you are the action is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ If you want to gain a different perspective, make an effort to do just that. Sometimes you are so light and easy about the status quo, you don't even question what is going on. Tonight: In the limelight.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ If you still are hearing that little whisper about taking off but you can't, try a day trip to someplace you love or that you have never been to.

Tonight: Continue the adventure.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ One-on-one relating is always more satisfying to you. Take time for that someone who is instrumental in your life, who really makes a difference. Tonight: Let someone throw a tantrum.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Someone might try to lure you into his or her plans. You could be amazed by what goes on.

Tonight: Happily out with friends or a loved one.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Though you might have thought you

wanted a very social weekend, you seem to get into a rewarding pastime — so much so that you don't even bother to answer the phone. Tonight: Put your feet up, read or watch TV. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★★ You naturally take the lead in whatever you do. Organize friends for a spontaneous dinner, or perhaps entertain the kids with a surprise outing. Tonight: Having a ball.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Though you like to go out, right now, spend some quiet time at home. Close family members or roommates will enjoy this extra time.

Tonight: A favorite dinner.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Make phone calls to friends you never get time to share with.

Before you know it, you also might be meeting up with someone you hadn't expected to see. Tonight: Hanging out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Perhaps you need to indulge a little. Is it time to spruce up your wardrobe or get a haircut?

Tonight: Treat yourself again.

Dear Annie: I am ready for the loony farm. Both of my adult sons are back at home, one with his child. My husband retired last year. I am still working.

One son, “Matt,” contributes toward rent and household chores, but the other, “Joe,” sits like a bump on a log and does nothing. I’m sure that Joe has Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, but he won’t do anything about it. I don’t want to throw him out, but he leaves us no choice. He always claims we love his brother more, but it’s not true.

Matt is simply more responsible, while Joe sits around looking for handouts.

I am a f irm believer in tough love, but Joe always finds a way to make us feel guilty. Please help. I need my sanity. — Drowning in Denver
