Brownback: $14B budget deal ‘victory for Kansas’

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

T O P E K A — Kansas legislative negotiators agreed Wednesday night on a $14 billion budget for the state’s 2012 fiscal year, one that will cut overall spending between 5 percent and 6 percent.

The spending plan that emerged from talks between the two chambers heads first to the Senate for approval, then to the House.

Another storm

High: 80

Public schools would take the biggest hit during the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. But almost every state agency would see some spending cuts to erase a budget shortfall that once was as large as $500 million.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, who met with negotiators throughout the week’s talks, issued a statement noting that the deficit was closed without raising taxes, which wasn’t the case last year.

“It cuts spending while prioritizing core functions of government and sets the stage for a return to private sector growth,” Brownback said. “It’s a victory for Kansas.”

Much of the total reductions in the 2012 budget, between $770 million and $870 million, will reflect the disappearance of federal economic stimulus funds.

Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn

said the cuts will be felt in social services and education, but that the changes may encourage efficiencies in government.

“We tried very hard to figure out what the priorities are for the citizens of Kansas,” said McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican. “I think it could wake up a whole new population of citizens because the services are no longer there.”

● State democrats say Brownback is

Property involved in the divorce case of a former Kansas University athletic administrator — a former associate athletic director awaiting sentencing for his role in a ticket-stealing scheme — cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise assigned, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown issued a retraining order Wednesday, preventing both Ben Kirtland and Mary Jean Kirtland from “pursuing further action to transfer the real and personal property” included in their divorce case’s property settlement agreement, which was filed last month in Johnson County District Court.

Brown issued the order on the eve of Ben Kirtland’s sentencing in Wichita, set for 10 a.m. today, Kirtland on Kirtland’s conviction for conspiracy to commit wire fraud through a five-year scheme to steal KU basketball and football tickets for the personal gain of himself and others.

Ben Kirtland has indicated support for a sentence recommended by a presentence report: 57 months in federal prison, and a requirement to pay at least $1.2 million in restitution.

Johnson County District Judge David Hauber granted the divorce April 15. Mary Jean Kirtland had filed her petition for divorce Jan. 25 — a little more than two months after her husband had been indicted by a federal grand jury, and about a month before he would plead guilty in Judge Brown’s courtroom in Wichita.

HASKELL INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY STUDENT COLENE WAGNON will be walking under the archway at Haskell Stadium for the commencement ceremony in which she will receive her associate’s degree in business. Wagnon, a mother of three, plans to continue at Haskell working toward her bachelor’s degree.

Haskell student to be first in family with college degree

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Colene Wagnon said she got tired of the same old kinds of jobs.

Picking up phones at the call center, working in restaurants — those were tedious, she said, but they weren’t the worst.

That honor belongs to a payday loan company, where she had to press people who were already strapped to pay up on those high-interest loans. She even had to repossess a car once.

So she decided to improve her lot in life. On Friday, the 33-year-old mother of three will do something no one else in her family has done: She’ll get an associate’s degree from Haskell Indian Nations University. Only a few members of her family have finished high school.

“When I first got out of high school, I had no idea I wanted to go to college,” she said.

Saturday ● 17th Annual HINU Indian Men’s & Women’s Fast Pitch Tournament, Wagnon’s mother had her when she was just 15. Wagnon went on to live with her grandmother in Oklahoma.

“The life that I grew up with, it wasn’t very steady.

We were always struggling,” she said.

And she’s not done, she’s quick to point out. Though she dreads the math that lies ahead, she intends to finish her bachelor’s degree in business. She likes it here, she

said, and enjoys meeting new friends from a wide range of backgrounds.

Wagnon got pregnant in high school. Her oldest daughter, Taylor, will be 16 in May. D.J. is 14, and the youngest, Brianna, is 8. A boyfriend helps out at home sometimes, but she’s the primary caretaker for her children.

WASHINGTON — Deep in hiding, his terror organization becoming battered and fragmented, Osama bin Laden kept pressing followers to find new ways to hit the U.S., officials say, citing his private journal and other documents recovered in last week’s raid.

Strike smaller cities, bin Laden suggested. Target trains as well as planes. If possible, strike on significant dates, such as the Fourth of July and the 10th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Above all, kill as many Americans as possible in a single attack.

Though he was out of the public eye and alQaida seemed to be weakening, bin Laden never yielded control of his worldwide organization, U.S. officials said Wednesday. His personal, handwritten journal and his massive collection of computer files reveal his hand at work in every recent major al-Qaida threat, including plots in Europe last year that had travelers and embassies on high alert, two officials said.

They described the intelligence to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about what was found in bin Laden’s hideout. Analysts are continuing to review the documents.

The information shatters the government’s conventional thinking about bin Laden, who had been regarded for years as mostly an inspirational figurehead whose years in hiding made him too

Legislators can’t end their session until they’ve passed a budget, likely on Friday evening at the earliest.

Wednesday was their 89th day in session, out of 90 scheduled. Leaders predicted the bill would pass, though House Speaker Mike O’Neal said it may be only Republicans support it in his chamber.

“There will be people who vote no because there are too many cuts. There will be those because there aren’t enough,” said O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican.

“What this bill is for is the middle. I think that’s the majority of the caucus.”

Republicans control both chambers, with a 32-8 edge in the Senate and 92-33 margin in the House.

Senate Vice President John Vratil said the spending plan reflects a fundamental change compared to how budgets had been written in recent years.

“We have altered the structure of our budget by making significant cuts in spending,” said Vratil, a Leawood Republican and part of the chamber’s negotiating team. “It’s not funny money or accounting tricks. It’s real cuts of real money.”

A key issue was the House’s demand that the next budget

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

leave cash reserves of $50 million when the fiscal year concluded at the end of June 2012. House Republican leaders saw it as a hedge against future bad times, while senators were willing to sacrifice the cushion to lessen spending cuts.

Some of the last issues to be resolved were judicial branch funding, a shortfall in special education funding to satisfy federal requirements and funding for the state’s KANEd program that provides high-speed, broadband Internet access to more than 400 schools, colleges, libraries and hospitals.

The state’s 289 school districts would see their general state aid cut by $232 per pupil, or 5.8 percent, the figure Republican Gov. Sam Brownback had proposed, dropping it from $4,012 to $3,780.

The budget plan also will authorize $34 million in new bonds for an ongoing renovation of the Statehouse, bringing its total projected cost to $319 million.

The additional funds will allow workers to replacing aging copper in the roof and dome and finish work on the north wing, where construction has started.

The budget also preserves an $11 million state operating grant to Washburn University of Topeka, which the House had sought to cut in half, and $5 million to subsidize airline service in southcentral Kansas.

marginalized to maintain operational control of the organization he founded.

Instead, bin Laden was communicating from his walled compound in Pakistan with al-Qaida’s offshoots, including the Yemen branch that has emerged as the leading threat to the United States, the documents indicate. Though there is no evidence yet that he was directly behind the attempted Christmas Day 2009 bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner or the nearly successful attack on cargo planes heading for Chicago and Philadelphia, it’s now clear that they bear some of bin Laden’s hallmarks.

He was well aware of U.S. counterterrorist efforts and schooled his followers in working around them, the messages to his followers show. Don’t limit attacks to New York City, he said in his writings. Consider other areas such as Los Angeles or smaller cities. Spread out the targets.

In one particularly macabre bit of mathematics, bin Laden’s writings show him musing over just how many Americans he must kill to force the U.S. to withdraw from the Arab world. He concludes that the smaller, scattered attacks since 9/11 had not been enough. He tells his

disciples that only a body count of thousands, something on the scale of 9/11, would shift U.S. policy.

The handwritten journal included significant dates bin Laden noted as preferred for attacking American targets, including the Fourth of July and the 10th anniversary of 9/11, a U.S. official said. He also schemed about ways to sow political dissent in Washington and play political figures against one another, officials said.

The communications were in missives sent via plug-in computer storage devices called flash drives. The devices were ferried to bin Laden’s compound by couriers, a process that is slow but exceptionally diff icult to track.

Gingrich: I’m running for president Republican Newt Gingrich said Wednesday he’s running for president because his experience has prepared him to return America “to hope and opportunity.”

In a post on Twitter Wednesday, the former House speaker made official what has been an open secret for months: “Today I am announcing my candidacy for president of the United States.“ In a YouTube video, Gingrich assures viewers, “There’s a much better American future ahead with more jobs, more prosperity, a better health system, longer lives, greater independent living and a Gingrich country that is decentralized under the 10th Amendment with power once again back with the American people and away from the Washington bureaucracy.”

Alvamar getting new management

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Alvamar’s two Lawrence golf courses are about to join the roster of a major course management company.

On Tuesday, Billy Casper Golf Group will take charge of the day-to-day operations of Alvamar’s recreational assets: the two 18-hole golf courses, the two pro shops, the driving range, the

dining room and other operations now owned by 120 shareholders.

All 120 employees will remain at the service of the operation’s 1,000 members, their guests and others who arrive at the complex off Crossgate Drive in western Lawrence for golf, swimming, dining and other activities.

“To the members and the patrons who play here, it will be

absolutely seamless,” said Dick Stuntz, who will remain general manager.

Shareholders had offered the recreational assets for sale late last year for $6.5 million and had secured a contract that was supposed to close by year’s end. But when that deal fell through — a deal that would have had an outof-town buyer hiring the Casper group as manager — the owners’ own leaders decided to enter

Possible human lung stem cell found Scientists believe they’ve discovered stem cells in the lung that can make a wide variety of the organ’s tissues, a finding that might open new doors for treating emphysema and other diseases.

When these human cells were injected into mice, they showed their versatility by rebuilding airways, air sacs and blood vessels within two weeks. One expert called that “amazing.”

While stem cells have been found in bone marrow and some other parts of the body, it hasn’t been clear whether such a versatile cell existed in the lung.

Experts not involved in the HEALTH study stressed that the work must be confirmed by further research and that it’s too soon to make any promises about therapies.

But they said it could be a significant advance in a difficult field of research.

“These are remarkable findings and they have extraordinary implications,” said Dr. Alan Fine of Boston University, who called the mouse results amazing. “But it has to be replicated.”

Study: 48 women raped every hour The African nation of Congo has been called the worst place on earth to be a woman. A new study released Wednesday shows that it’s even worse than previously thought: 1,152 women are raped every day, a rate equal to 48 per hour.

That rate is 26 times more than the previous estimate of 16,000 rapes reported in one year by the United Nations.

Michelle Hindin, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health who specializes in gender-based violence, said the rate could be even higher. The source of the data, she noted, is a survey that was conducted through faceto-face interviews, and people are not always forthcoming about the violence they have suffered when talking to strangers.

“The numbers are astounding,” she said.

Congo, a nation of 70 million people that is equal in size to Western Europe, has been plagued by decades of war. Its vast forests are rife with militias that have systematically used rape to destroy communities.

Two earthquakes struck southeast Spain in quick succession Wednesday, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage to buildings, officials said.

It was the highest quake-related death toll in Spain in more than 50 years.

The epicenter of the quakes — with magnitudes of 4.4 and 5.2 — was close to the town of Lorca, and the second came about two hours after the first, an official with the Murcia regional government said on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.

Dozens of injured people were being treated at the scene and a field hospital was set up in the town of about 85,000 people, officials said. About 270 patients at a hospital in Lorca were being evacuated by ambulance as a precaution after the building sustained minor damage, the Murcia regional government said.

The Spanish prime minister’s office put the death toll at 10 and the Murcia administration said the deaths included a minor and occurred with the second, stronger quake.

“It is very different, but it’s a very wonderful place to live,” she said. “The poverty level there is outstanding, and yet you go visit a home and they will go to their gardens and give you whatever they can.

They will send you home with a chicken or a bag of potatoes just for visiting.”

The two work for a nongovernmental organization called Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust. It was founded in 2005 to: ● Provide shelter, education and medical care for orphans and foster families.

MUFINDI DAY IN LAWRENCE

Lawrence residents have organized a 5K race and “Cocktails for a Cause” on Saturday to provide care for people in Mufindi, Tanzania.

The 5K race begins at 8 a.m. at Hollywood Southwind 12 Theater, 3433 Iowa. Cost is $25 and then $30 on race day. It is a timed race, and there will be medals and refreshments.

Pre-register and packet pickup will be from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday at Garry Gribble’s Running Sports, Please see TANZANIA, page 5A 839 Mass. Race day registration and

packet pickup is from 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. at the theater. For more information or to register online, visit mufindiorphanslawrence.com.

“Cocktails for a Cause and Silent Auction” will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Oread, 1200 Oread Ave. The silent auction will include local items as well as woven baskets, textiles, jewelry and other crafts made by the people of Mufindi. The Oread is donating a portion of proceeds from each “Mufindi Martini” to the cause.

An early 1900s Oread neighborhood home known as Varsity House still may have some time left in the game after all.

Werner’s group is proposing to move the house, which got its name because Kansas University’s varsity football team was housed there in the 1950s, to a vacant lot immediately north of the current site.

The current site would be part of a project to build a four- to five-story apartment building that would have 50 two-bedroom units and two levels of underground parking for 129 cars.

Democrats: Brownback Arts Commission supporters criticize governor over decision overstepping boundaries

By Scott Rothschild

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Democrats are complaining that Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, is trying to take control of various aspects of state government that have been relatively independent of political pressure.

They point to administrative moves, statements of intention and defiance of the Legislature.

“There’s definitely an effort by the governor to centralize authority within his office,” said House Democratic Brownback Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence.

Brownback and his staff say his actions have been aimed at reducing state spending and making government run more efficiently.

Earlier this session, Brownback issued an executive order consolidating all hiring and human resource functions in the Kansas Department of Administration, which is headed by a Cabinet secretary appointed by Brownback.

Democrats say the new system is a way to ensure Brownback has control over who gets state jobs.

In announcing that decision, Brownback stated, “The state of Kansas needs to establish and increase efficiency, uniformity and fairness in employment policies, procedures and practices within the Executive Branch of state government. Streamlining the administration’s human resources to the Department of Administration will ensure employees are treated equally.”

Other examples, cited by Brownback’s critics, include: ● Brownback’s Kansas Secretary of Labor Karin Brownlee’s effort to make all employees in the agency unclassified. Brownlee said she wants to improve the

agency through better management and a merit-based employee system. A state employee group said the proposal was an attack on worker protections.

Democrats have also said that Brownlee has issued an edict requiring agency employees working at the call center to request permission before they can go to the bathroom.

Matthew Manda, a Labor Department spokesman, said that allegation is not correct.

Employees are supposed to tell their supervisor when they are taking a break, he said. This allows the department to do a better job in fielding calls, he said. ● Brownback’s insertion into the Kansas Bioscience Authority debate. Some legislators have raised questions about KBA finances, and the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office has said it has opened an investigation in the KBA, although it has declined to say what it is looking into. Brownback has been vocal in demanding an independent audit of the agency and review of records.

Democrats say Brownback is trying to take control of the KBA, an allegation that Brownback denies. ● Brownback’s order to fold the Kansas Health Policy Authority into the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which will remove the board that oversees KHPA. Brownback said the move will save administrative expenses and “unifies the expertise in KHPA with the accountability of KDHE as we i m p l e m e n t m a j o r reforms to our Medicaid delivery model.” ● Brownback’s layoffs disclosed Tuesday at the Kansas Arts Commission despite a vote by the Senate to keep the commission going and agreements by legislators to fund it. Brownback has said elimination of the agency is a costcutting move.

TOPEKA — Supporters of the Kansas Arts Commission said Wednesday they would try to overturn Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision to eliminate the agency.

“There is no reason for this,” said Sen. Roger Reitz, RManhattan. “That’s a real tragic statement for the state of Kansas.”

On Tuesday, Brownback’s Kansas Department of Administration Secretary Dennis Taylor had layoff notices issued to KAC employees.

Earlier in the legislative session, Brownback issued an executive order to abolish the commission and put arts fundraising in the hands of a nonprofit group. He said the elimination of the commission would save the state money.

But after an outpouring of opposition, the Senate rejected the executive order. And House and Senate budget negotiators had agreed on funding the agency at $670,000.

Brownback then implemented the layoffs.

He has refused to comment on the layoffs, but his spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said, “Gov. Brownback stands by his budget recommendation as the best way to cause the arts to flourish pri-

vately in Kansas while saving taxpayer dollars.”

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka disagreed, saying, “I believe this is a step backwards.”

Hensley said thousands of arts-related jobs will be jeopardized, and many rural communities will lose arts programs. Supporters of the commission say its abolition would also hinder the flow of federal arts dollars to Kansas.

“I’m pretty sure there is still some fight left in the Senate and the senators who support the Arts Commission,” Hensley said.

But the Legislature’s options are limited. If legisla-

tors approve funding of the commission, Brownback could line-item veto the funding. Overriding a veto would require a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate.

Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, the state’s poet laureate, blogged that when she read what Brownback did, “I felt like I was punched in the stomach. No process. No notice. No way, and yet it’s happening.”

She urged supporters to contact Brownback and legislators to try to overturn Brownback’s move.

Google executive establishes fund for LHS

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

A man who grew up in Lawrence and attended its public schools before helping drive innovations at one of the world’s leading technology companies is now investing in his alma mater’s future.

Brian McClendon and his wife, Beth Ellyn, have established the McClendon Computer Science Fund, to benef it computer science efforts at Lawrence High School.

Brian McClendon, a 1982

graduate of Lawrence High, is a vice president at Google Inc. and returned to Lawrence in 2008 to deliver the keynote McClendon address as the Lawrence Schools Foundation’s Community Education Breakfast.

No specific uses for the fund have been identified, but teachers envision upgrading software programs for computer gaming

and programming, and buying programmable robotics kits for use in Automated Systems, an engineering course.

Terms of the financial gift were not disclosed, but McClendon has been in communication with teachers Charlie Lauts and Nick Wood about how to best use the money.

“It’s a significant gift,” said Susan Esau, the foundation’s executive director. “It’s a major gift.”

Energy engineering firm moving into KU incubator

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

An energy engineering firm will become the newest tenant for the bioscience and technology incubator on Kansas University’s West Campus.

KU officials announced that 360 Energy Engineers has signed a lease for the Bioscience and Technology Business Center.

The company will employ four people initially and has plans to grow to eight employees within the next two years.

“We definitely think there is a good opportunity to

expand in the coming years because it really is a growth market in a growth industry,” said Joe Hurla, the company’s business development manager.

The company does engineering and consulting work for businesses, schools and governments that need to upgrade their energy efficiency — everything from old heating and cooling systems to outdated lighting — or tackle other energy-related issues with their facilities.

Hurla said the company sought to locate in the incubator, in part, because it will help in recruiting KU engineering and business stu-

dents as the company expands.

The lease also marks a milestone for the incubator.

Once the company moves in on June 1, the incubator will be 50 percent leased and will have 40 employees.

The nearly 22,000-squarefoot incubator building was built through a partnership with the city, the county, KU, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, the LawrenceDouglas County Bioscience Authority and the Kansas Bioscience Authority.

“We’re doing everything we possibly can to enhance the value and wait for the marketplace to improve to the point where there are more people who have the resources and the interest in acquiring a golf course recreational operation,” Johnson said.

No major changes are expected with the management switch, other than expectations for the new Alvamar Golf Management Corp. — to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Alvamar and run by the Casper group — to put up more black numbers on Alvamar’s balance sheet.

The Casper group brings the buying and negotiating power of a 125-course group to a single operation with two courses, Johnson said, and plans to boost sales and memberships.

“We’re going to increase our financial performance,” Johnson said. “And, in the process of doing that, we’ll enhance the value of the facility and the corporation, which we think is in the shareholders’ and the members’ and the community’s best interest.”

The Casper group also manages Cypress Ridge Golf Course, an 18-hole municipal course in Topeka.

Commissioners heard public comment and discussed the issue for more than three hours before deciding to defer the plan, which would guide future COUNTY COMMISSION development in northeast Lawrence and Grant Township.

Many Douglas County residents spoke against accepting the plan because they said it didn’t take enough care to conserve the valuable Class I and Class II soils in the area and instead promoted industrial development.

Man pleads no contest to robbery charge A 60-year-old man who had won an appeal of an earlier guilty verdict pleaded no contest to a robbery charge Wednesday related to a 2006 incident at a Lawrence convenience store, Douglas County prosecutors said.

Charles E. Smith entered the plea to one count of robbery. Prosecutors had accused him Nov. 25, 2006, of robbing the Presto convenience store, 2330 Iowa, by pointing something under his shirt at the clerk and making off with contents of the register.

Knight’s family, who lives in Lawrence, and other local friends have organized “Mufindi Day in Lawrence” on Saturday to help raise money for the organization.

Peck said the money will help provide milk powder and a new home-based care program.

The program will train Tanzanians who have little or no medical background to provide HIV education and testing during home visits.

Peck and Knight work with about 35,000 people in 16 villages, and there is no hospital or medical center. There are just five dispensaries that provide very basic care. She said women often have their children at home.

Lane man killed in accident near Ottawa A Lane man was killed Tuesday evening in a single-vehicle accident southeast of Ottawa, Franklin County’s Sheriff’s officials said.

According to a sheriff’s office report, Richard Nichols, 45, of Lane, died after he was ejected from the 2005 Dodge pickup truck he was driving about 7 p.m. Tuesday near Rantoul in the 4100 block of John Brown Road.

Nichols was headed east on the road “at a high rate of speed” when the truck left the road and rolled, according to the report. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene.

Rantoul is about 15 miles southeast of Ottawa, and Lane is about 22 miles southeast of Ottawa.

But, she said, plans are under way to build a health center and hospital, and they are having fundraisers.

Peck said her work is like a dream come true. It’s the kind of work that she’s wanted to do since she was 12.

After graduating from KU, she joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to Mufindi.

While there, she met the founders of Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust.

Knight and Peck dated for about one and a half years while at KU. She said Knight followed her around the world. Now, they have two children, ages 17 months and 10 weeks.

House GOP seeks $30B in more agency spending cuts

U.S. HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER, center, addresses on Monday the Economic Club of New York in New York.

GOP seeks leverage in talks over debt ceiling hike

By Charles Babington Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — It was a tough-talking House Speaker John Boehner who warned Wall Street this week that Congress won’t raise the government’s debt ceiling without massive spending cuts that most Democrats oppose.

The swagger struck some as odd. The Ohio Republican, after all, has said failure to increase the borrowing limit this summer would trigger a financial disaster for the United States and the world.

But allies say Boehner had multiple motivations for insisting on trillions of dollars in spending cuts, and no tax increases, as the price for rounding up enough votes to allow more borrowing and prevent the country from defaulting on its debt.

For one thing, public opposition has forced Republicans to de-emphasize their proposals to convert Medicare to a less costly voucher program. A more adamant stand on spending cuts could help compensate for that setback, according to members of both parties.

Experts warn that a default would be an unprecedented event that could cause eco-

nomic chaos, shaking global confidence in the U.S. government and forcing it to pay higher interest rates when it borrows money. Nevertheless, polls show that Americans strongly oppose increasing the debt ceiling. Sixtythree percent of those surveyed in a CBS News poll in April were against raising the limit.

During Congress’ recent two-week recess, angry constituents warned scores of GOP House members not to increase the borrowing limit.

“What they heard was, ‘Don’t raise the debt ceiling!’” said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.

Flake, who is running for the Senate, said his fellow Republicans were a bit tentative this spring in demanding deep spending cuts when Congress voted on a package to keep the government running through the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. Had the government shut down, he said, public resentment “probably would have fallen on us,” just as it fell mainly on House Republicans in the shutdowns of 1995-96.

But Flake argues that the more complex issues surrounding the nation’s ability to borrow money and repay its loans fall more heavily on

the president, the government’s chief executive.

“This is more the White House,” he said, and that gives Republicans leverage in negotiations.

And so an emboldened Boehner told the Economic Club of New York on Monday: “Without significant spending cuts and reforms to reduce our debt, there will be no debt limit increase.”

Adding a new demand, Boehner said the cuts “should be greater than the accompanying increase in debt authority the president is given.”

Many took that to mean spending cuts of at least $2 trillion, the amount of new borrowing needed to get the government through the 2012 elections. Boehner’s staff, however, said the speaker deliberately avoided giving a number. And they declined to say whether Boehner envisions a 10-year time frame for the savings, or something else.

The Obama administration suggested Boehner is merely staking out an early negotiating stance that he knows will not hold when it’s time to compromise with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House.

WASHINGTON — Republicans controlling the House announced plans Wednesday to cut $30 billion from the day-to-day budgets of Cabinet agencies, doubling down on cuts to domestic programs just weeks after a split-thedifferences bargain with President Barack Obama.

The moves by the powerful lawmakers atop the House Appropriations Committee are the first concrete steps to try to implement a tight-fisted 2012 budget plan approved

by Republicans’ last month. It would build on $38 billion in savings enacted in a hardfought agreement with Obama over the current year’s budget.

The $30 billion in savings from agency operating budgets that have to be annually approved by Congress seems small compared to deficits that could top $1.6 trillion this year. But they’re actually a key building block in eventually wrestling the deficit under control, assuming Congress can make the cuts now and stick with them year after year in the face of inflation.

That’s a big “if.”

Obama and his Democratic allies controlling the Senate are sure to battle hard against cuts of this size, even though Obama told Senate Democrats Wednesday not to adopt unyielding positions in their budget talks with Republicans. Obama, meeting with senators at the White House, even cautioned that painful cuts are in store to achieve a bipartisan agreement on deficit reduction, according to Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

Reid said Obama told them not to do what he contended Republicans have done: “Drawing these lines in the sand. We can’t do that.”

Obama on Wednesday also said lawmakers may have to rely on automatic spending cuts and tax increases to reach a deal on deficit reduction.

“I think what we’re going to end up having to do probably is to set some targets and say, you know, those targets have to be hit if not automatically, some cuts and tax increases start taking place,” Obama told CBS News. “And that will give incentive for us to negotiate and figure something out.”

Republicans have strongly opposed any mechanism that would trigger a tax increase to close the deficit.

Under the House Appropriations Committee plan, the cuts to domestic programs like education, housing subsidies and infrastructure projects will feel much more severe because the Pentagon — which accounts for more than half of the budget that passes through the Appropriations panel each year — would actually receive a $17 billion, 3 percent boost. Domestic agencies and foreign aid accounts would have to absorb $47 billion in cuts, averaging about 9 percent.

“Brutal ... brutal,” said Rep. Norm Dicks of Washington, the top Democrat on the Appropriations panel, who warned of cuts to food inspection, Pell Grants that provide college aid for low-income students, community devel-

Slumping oil, commodity prices halt stock rally NEW YORK (AP) — Tumbling demand for commodities and a drop in the euro led to a broad stock sell-off Wednesday that pulled the Dow Jones industrial average down 130 points.

Demand for gasoline in the U.S. fell by the largest amount in seven weeks, the Energy Information Administration said, a signal that consumers are conserving money as gas prices near a national average of $4 a gallon. Gas futures fell almost 8 percent. Crude oil fell back below $100 a barrel, a loss of more than 4 percent.

Fewer fill-ups may be an early sign of a broader drop in consumer and business spending as customers forgo trips to malls and restaurants and companies ship fewer products. That, in turn, could lead to lower corporate earnings and halt a stock rally that has sent the stock market up 7 percent this year.

“People are becoming more conservative in their outlook and their spending as oil prices have risen, and that’s making the market become more concerned about growth,” said Quincy Krosby, the chief strategist at Prudential Financial.

The fall in demand for gas means that traders will take a close look at Thursday’s weekly report on first-time applications for unemployment benefits. If they rise, that could indicate companies are cutting back in other

areas as well, Krosby said.

Stocks rose broadly on Friday after a report that companies added more than 200,000 jobs in April.

Stocks fell broadly, with energy and materials companies suffering the worst declines. The Dow lost 1 percent to close at 12,630.03. The S&P 500 fell 15.08, or 1.1 percent, to 1,342.08. The Nasdaq composite lost 26.83, or 0.9 percent, to 2,845.06.

The market’s broad sell-off, which sent all 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index lower, is a sign that the economic recovery still seems uncertain at times. Strong earnings have been carrying the market higher since the beginning of 2011. On Tuesday the S&P 500 climbed for the third straight day to within 0.5 percent of its highest close for the year.

“Every time that stocks start to go down a little bit, you’re seeing more selling pile on because people have made so much profit over the past 9 months,” said Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners, a New Yorkbased hedge fund.

The market’s losses accelerated shortly before noon Wednesday. The dollar and government bond prices rose as traders moved money into safer assets. The dollar rose 0.8 percent against a group of other major currencies. The euro dropped 1.5 percent against the dollar.

opment grants, food aid to low-income pregnant women and their children, and grants to community action agencies that serve the poor. “Those are all things that are going to hurt the lowest-income people in this country.”

A third of the entire budget passes through the Appropriations panel, once reviled in some GOP circles for its free-spending ways and addiction to home-state projects known as earmarks. The spending bills are likely to produce a long, angry summer of House floor fights, but the ultimate fate of the spending bill probably lie in broader budget talks with the White House involving mustdo legislation to allow the government to continue to borrow to meet its obligations. The Senate has yet to pass a budget blueprint that’s a precursor to action on spending bills.

Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., released a broad outline of the panel’s plan to cut $30 billion from appropriated accounts. That’s on top of $38 billion carved from agency budgets in last month’s spending showdown legislation and it keeps a campaign promise to bring domestic agency budgets, on average, to levels in place before Obama took office. The slow, steady advance of the actual legislation begins in two Appropriations subpanels on Friday.

BRIEFLY

POLL

Bin Laden killing was justified

By Robert Burns and Jennifer Agiesta Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Was the U.S. right to kill Osama bin Laden?

Absolutely, and about time, Americans say.

A new Associated PressGfK poll shows the nation supporting the raid with rare unanimity, and the glow from the operation is also boosting approval for President Barack Obama’s handling of terrorism and the war in Afghanistan.

Few events have sparked such soaring approval from the nation, and almost nothing has since George W. Bush’s handling of the U.S. campaign against terrorism in the months following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Enthusiasm for the risky raid after its success has given Obama some of his highest marks since early in his presidency, and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected.

At the same time, many say bin Laden’s death has increased the threat of terrorism against America.

The death, after nearly a decade-long hunt, of the man blamed for killing thousands of Americans also appeared to help boost Americans’ optimism in areas that would seem to have little connection to bin Laden, terrorism or national security.

More Americans — 45 percent, up from 35 percent in March — say the country is headed in the right direction.

Still, about half — 52 percent — say things are heading the wrong way, reflecting the effect of more polarizing domestic issues such as the economy, federal budget deficit and health care overhaul.

Despite a sluggish recovery from the Great Recession, 52 percent of Americans now approve of Obama’s stewardship of the economy, giving him his best rating on that issue since the early days of his presidency.

Overall, Obama’s approval rating is up to 60 percent from 53 percent in March and the 47 percent low point following last fall’s congressional elections. It was 64 percent in May 2009, just months after he was sworn into office. Independents, who are likely to be a key voting bloc in the 2012 presidential election, caused the new uptick in support by sliding back to Obama.

The AP-GfK results were striking in that they found Obama with a higher approval rating than other recent polls that generally said he was in the low 50s. Polls often produce varying results because of differences in question wording and polling methodology. Also, during periods when public opinion about an issue is particularly volatile, and at times when the public is being presented with rapidly changing information, it is not uncommon to see wider variations across polls, even those conducted around the same time.

Some conservatives criticized the AP-GfK poll as heavy with responses from Democrats that skewed the results. AP-GfK polls use a consistent methodology that draws a random sample of the population independent of party identification. Such identification is not static and tends to fluctuate over time along with other political opinions. However, the change in party identification in the current AP-GfK poll is not a statistically significant shift from the previous poll in March and could not by itself explain the poll findings.

The poll reflected somewhat mixed feelings by Americans about the ramifications of the bin Laden raid and the general trend of terrorist threats.

Although nearly nine in 10 of those polled approved of killing the al-Qaida leader, 50 percent said it increased the threat of terrorist acts against the United States. Seventeen percent said it decreased the threat, while 31 percent said they believed it had no effect on terrorism.

Syrian shelling kills 18, evokes 1982 crackdown

The protesters demanding the ouster of longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh were marching from a main square in Sanaa toward the Cabinet headquarters when they came under fire from snipers on rooftops, plainclothes security forces, and soldiers with antiaircraft guns mounted on pickup trucks, activists said. They said security forces also used water cannons and fired tear gas.

“The snipers were shooting at the people,” said protester Talal al-Hamadi. “People rushed and some fell over each other. There was a stampede.”

Yemen has been shaken by nearly three months of protests demanding Saleh’s ouster; several top military commanders and ruling party officials have defected to the opposition. Saleh, in power for more than three decades, has rejected a regional mediation offer and intensified a crackdown that reportedly has killed more than 140 people.

Yemen — the southern neighbor of Saudi Arabia — faced crises even before the protests, plagued with widespread corruption, a weak central government, a Shiite rebellion in the north, a secessionist movement in the south and an active branch of al-Qaida operating in the back country.

BEIRUT — The Syrian army shelled residential areas and unleashed gunmen Wednesday, and a human rights group said at least 18 people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy. The shelling of neighborhoods evoked memories of the Assad regime’s brutal, 40-year legacy of crushing dissent.

Syrian activists and protesters involved in the sevenweek-long uprising renewed their cries for the world to join them in calling for embattled President Bashar Assad to give up power.

Demand for bin Laden memorabilia tapers off fast NEW YORK (AP) — The day after Osama bin Laden was killed, street vendors and online merchants rushed to place special orders for Tshirts celebrating the demise of the world’s most-wanted terrorist.

But after an initial spike in orders, the appetite for bin Laden memorabilia is already fading.

Only one street vendor in Times Square was hawking the shirts on Tuesday, nine days after bin Laden’s death.

Others said they couldn’t get them from wholesalers or thought the merchandise was either in poor taste or fading in relevance.

“I think the party’s over as far as bin Laden is concerned,” said vendor Steve Kalos, 62, who was selling sunglasses, pashminas and caps.

Two blocks south, 58-yearold Duane Jackson, one of the vendors who alerted police to an attempted car bombing in Times Square a year ago, had sold six dozen shirts that read

“Obama Got Osama — God Bless America!”

When Jackson began selling the $10 T-shirts last week, “they were jumping off the table,” he said. European tourists snapped them up, and President Barack Obama’s stop at a firehouse around the corner also boosted business, he said.

But his colleague, Walter “Candyman” Wells, 60, refused to order bin Laden shirts because he didn’t want to capitalize on the terrorist’s death.

“I don’t want to see anybody benefiting from anybody getting killed,” he said.

“It didn’t make sense, everybody jumping and cheering.

Whoever’s selling them, that’s on them. I just can’t do it.”

Numerous online merchants scrambled to design original shirts after the announcement.

“The first two days were astronomical,” said C.J. Grouse, president of RK TShirts in Cornelius, N.C.

Osama oversight puzzles Pakistan

EDITORIALS

End run Rather than honoring the democratic process that would restore the Kansas Arts Commission, the Kansas governor is making an autocratic end run to make sure the agency dies.

R

epresentative government is supposed to involve considerable give and take, but in the case of the Kansas Arts Commission, Gov. Sam Brownback apparently is unwilling to give an inch.

Soon after he took office, Brownback used an executive order to abolish the Arts Commission and replace it with a nonprofit entity.

After hearing plenty from their constituents, members of the Kansas Senate won a temporary stay for the commission by voting to override that executive order.

There is, however, more than one way to get rid of the Kansas Arts Commission.

The Kansas House initially wanted to accomplish that goal by cutting off funding to the group. Going into late-session budget negotiations, the Senate’s budget included funding for the commission and the House’s did not. Early in the negotiations, however, the House agreed to put the funding back in.

It’s possible that House members were willing to make that concession because they were confident that the governor wouldn’t let that piece of the budget stand. One option would have been for Brownback to use his line-item veto to remove that funding from the budget, but such a veto could have been considered and possibly overridden by the legislators.

So Brownback decided to apply a more permanent solution by simply directing the Kansas Department of Administration to terminate the employment of all five arts commission employees. The employees were laid off immediately and told that their jobs would be terminated on June 10. With or without funding in the budget, it’s pretty hard to run an agency with no employees.

The action was a rude surprise to the chairman of the Arts Commission, who called it a “back-door move” to eliminate the commission. That seems like an accurate portrayal.

At this point, it should be clear that, for whatever reason, Brownback is determined to kill the Kansas Arts Commission even though it supplies jobs across the state and contributes significantly to the quality of life in rural communities he says he is trying to promote in other ways. Nonetheless, a spokeswoman for his office says Brownback “stands by his budget recommendation as the best way to cause the arts to flourish privately in Kansas while saving taxpayer dollars.”

Brownback may believe this, but when both houses of the Legislature — not to mention the many Kansans who have protested the action — disagree, it behooves a governor to reconsider his position. There certainly are times for a governor to take a hard stand, but this isn’t one of those times.

The $700,000 funding for the Kansas Arts Commission represents only a tiny fraction of the overall state budget. Brownback should honor the democratic process that has returned this item to the budget rather than employing autocratic tactics to bypass that process — and the wishes of many Kansans.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 12, 1911: “It is not a kindness to encourage a man to come to Lawrence when the outYEARS look for his business is not good. There AGO is before the people of the town, printed IN 1911 in the Journal-World yesterday, a proposition for a hotel and opera house, neither of which do we need. ... It is said that the plan contemplates an expenditure of over $100,000, and our citizens will be asked to provide for $50,000. It seems to the Journal-World that the proposition as suggested is to say the least, and to put it mildly, uncalled for.”

WASHINGTON — The Pakistani town of Abbottabad seems to have been the perfect place to “hide in plain sight.” Not only did officers at the Pakistani military academy there apparently miss spotting Osama bin Laden. So did a team of U.S. Special Forces trainers that, according to Pakistani officials, was based there from September to December 2008.

The “Where’s Waldo?” aspect of the hunt for bin Laden — who turns out to have been living

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

Pakistani officials “reject the allegation —

rapidly becoming conventional wisdom in Washington — that they didn’t adequately pursue al-Qaida.”

since 2005 just a few hours’ drive north of Islamabad — has worsened the mistrust between America and Pakistan. Pakistani anger over the unilateral U.S. attack is indicated by the fact that someone just “outed” the CIA station chief in Islamabad, for the second time in a year.

More than a week after the Abbottabad raid, the same nagging question remains: How could the Pakistanis not have known that the world’s leading terrorist was hiding in what some analysts have argued was practically a gated community for their military?

It’s a puzzle that embarrasses Pakistani officials just as much as it angers Americans. Surely someone must have known, and in Pakistan, that someone would likely have had connections to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. But that doesn’t necessarily mean ISI’s titular leaders knew about the support network, and therein lies part of the prob-

lem.

The ISI is, in the biblical phrase, a house with many mansions.

What was known in one wing was not always shared with others.

Indeed, if the ISI had transmitted information about sheltering bin Laden, U.S. intelligence almost certainly would have picked it up through surveillance.

Pakistani officials reject the allegation — rapidly becoming conventional wisdom in Washington — that they didn’t adequately pursue al-Qaida. In interviews, they disclosed some new details that support their account. A U.S. official responded: “The Pakistanis indeed provided information that was useful to the U.S. government as it collected intelligence on the bin Laden compound. That information helped fill in some gaps.”

The Pakistani dossier starts with a joint CIA-ISI raid in the Abbottabad area in 2004, pursuing Abu Faraj al-Libi, often described as al-Qaida’s No. 3 official. He was captured the next year in another joint operation in Mardan, west of Abbottabad.

The Pakistanis argue their telephone intercepts may have helped CIA analysts identify the courier who was sheltering bin

Laden and trace him to the compound in Abbottabad. ISI officials, in particular, cite several telephone calls in Arabic in 2009 that may have been crucial, including at least one from the general vicinity of Abbottabad.

Communications intercepts have always been crucial to U.S. operations against al-Qaida. In some instances, such as wireless calls, the U.S. can collect signals unilaterally. But in intercepting some land-line and Internet communications, the U.S. had secret official cooperation, according to a Pakistani source. The source says this led to the sharing of many hundreds of useful calls and numbers.

As another sign of anti-terrorist operations in the region, a Pakistani official cites the Jan. 25 capture in Abbottabad of Umar Patek, a leader of the Indonesian affiliate of al-Qaida that planned the 2002 Bali bombing.

The final irony was the presence in Abbottabad of Special Forces in late 2008. They were part of a clandestine mission to train members of the Pakistani Frontier Corps. The training camp was later moved to Warsak, northwest of Peshawar, but for a few months American warriors

Program focuses on success Robert Woodson would probably wince if you called him a “community organizer.”

That’s because for the last 30 years as president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, he has not spent time organizing the poor around ineffective government programs and other addictions; he has been helping them become self-sufficient.

“You can’t learn anything by studying failure,” he says. “If you want to learn anything, you must study the successful.”

I spent a day last week riding around Washington and Waldorf, Md., visiting housing projects Woodson’s organization supports and studying his success. I met former drug addicts, dealers, prostitutes and pimps — all of whom testify to having been through failed government programs — who now say they are clean, sober and off the streets.

The keys are discipline, raised expectations, a family atmosphere infused with tough love, imposed morality and yes, hope.

Cost estimates for the “war on poverty” vary, but most put it in the trillions of dollars.

That war hasn’t been won. Record numbers are on food stamps.

Woodson says the difference between programs he supports and others is that he “takes time-tested principles and virtues and applies them to addictions, homelessness and other conditions. We have moral consistency.”

Woodson quotes popular Christian minister Chuck Swindoll: “Life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.” Woodson, who is AfricanAmerican, as were all of those I met, tells me “Every black community going back to 1784 had welfare based on morals.” The last 40 years, he says, have transformed the way we look at poverty: “Until 1965, 80 percent of black families had two parents in the home.

The ‘60s destroyed all that.”

When most people think of “civil rights leaders” they think of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP. Woodson has no time for them. He says, “They get publicity; we get results.”

“Eighty percent of all anti-poverty money doesn’t go to poor people,” Woodson says, “but to organizations that claim to serve poor people.” He is emphatic about what he says and he produces success when so many other programs fail: “Faith in God transforms the inside and that faith transforms the outside.”

Pastor Shirley Holloway is a no-nonsense, African-American woman who heads Kingdom Village in Waldorf. It provides housing

“

There is a lesson here for Republicans if they will stop forfeiting the compassion game to Democrats.” and, more importantly, a home environment for many who have not had a place to live — other than prison in some cases — in years.

She also runs House of Help/City of Hope in a formerly tough (until she took over) neighborhood in Southeast Washington.

Holloway tells me that she and Woodson “are not visible because we don’t whine and complain.”

Woodson reminds me of an often-ignored fact: “Poor whites in Appalachia are worse off than inner-city blacks.” Perhaps that is because not as many government programs are available to them and the media and politicians mostly ignore poor whites.

Woodson and Holloway are employing conservative Republican values and ideas, which are succeeding. Why are corporations and wealthy individuals donating so much money to people and programs that aren’t working? Why do so many corporations contribute to Sharpton and Jackson when their track record of transforming people from dependency to self-sufficiency is, to be charitable, somewhat lacking.

Republicans could win over the votes of many of the poor who think their future lies with Democrats. It doesn’t, not if Democrats continue to spend money on failed programs that have no power to change lives. This will require Republicans getting out of their comfort zones and hanging out with people who not only have found hope, but who can communicate hope to others.

As Jesse Jackson might put it: “Keep hope alive!” For Woodson and Holloway, that’s more than an applause line.

apparently were living and working less than two miles from bin Laden.

What angers U.S. officials is that the ISI may be helpful with one hand, but with the other assists groups that threaten Americans. One example is the Haqqani network, the deadliest Taliban faction in eastern Afghanistan; another is Lashkare-Taiba, a Kashmiri group whose alleged links with the ISI will be explored in a trial scheduled to open next week in Chicago.

The fact that bin Laden lived for so long under the military’s nose, as it were, has prompted some stinging commentary in Pakistan, such as this riposte in the newspaper Dawn last week from columnist Cyril Almeida: “If we didn’t know, we are a failed state; if we did know, we are a rogue state. But does anybody really believe they didn’t know?”

And what happens next, as the U.S. begins to exploit the “treasure trove” of information found in bin Laden’s compound?

Among other things, that cache may reveal what, if anything, Pakistani officials knew, and when they knew it.

PUBLIC FORUM

Positive direction To the editor: This past week at the University of Kansas Medical Center has been a time for reflection. A few weeks ago, one of our most talented scientists, Curtis Klaassen, was relieved of his leadership role as the chair of the department of pharmacology, toxicology, and experimental therapeutics.

I and six other KUMC faculty members who endorse this letter — D.R. Abrahmson, J.P. Calvet, J.J. Grantham, C.D. Little, R.J. Nudo, P.G. Smith — have each been at the university for many years and can attest to Professor Klaassen’s extraordinary dedication to his craft and his devotion to excellence for himself and for all members of his outstanding faculty, staff and trainees.

However, a school of medicine and especially our medical center in Kansas City is more than a single department, a group of scientists, or a group of physicians. The responsibility of our executive vice chancellor and dean is to guide our entire medical center and balance the needs and sometimes demands of a highly competitive and talented collection of chairs and directors of research centers. Unfortunately, in this case, issues developed that left the administration with no options.

One of the most prestigious research awards at KU is in honor of Dolph C. Simons Sr. It is a recognition of excellence in the biomedical sciences. We know you want the very best for us and we appreciate your concern for the well-being of KU. Please be assured that the basic sciences research community at the KU Medical Center is in capable hands, we are striving for excellence, and moving in a direction that will make all Kansans proud.

Michael J. Soares, KU Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan.

Afro-House Society Tonight is the inaugural installment of Afro-House Society at the Jackpot, 943 Mass. The show is a DJ-centric effort that mixes the usual genres of electronic music (house, dubstep and breaks) with hip-hop, funk and soul samples. There's a nice variety of regular DJs in rotation for each show. DJason is a calmer, more collected DJ that takes his time shaping a soundscape. Likewise, Dan Matic makes some intentionally slow, complicated beats that are full of subtle audio cues, usually reserved for headphone listeners.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Pendleton, FSHS share memories In the fall, Free State High soccer players McKenzie Dever and Hillary Yoder split duties picking up the children of Jason and Jodi Pendleton from school at Quail Run Elementary and baby-sitting them until one of the Pendletons returned home from work.

Yet, Jason Pendleton has spent time in recent days trying to figure out how to pin a loss on his former baby-sitters. Ingrate? No. It just comes with the job.

Pendleton, former boys and girls soccer coach at Free State, left after teaching there 10 years to become teacher and soccer coach at Blue Valley Southwest, which is in its first year.

The Timberwolves (12-3) will visit Free State (9-6), now coached by Kelly Barah, at 6:30 p.m. today for a non-league game.

“I have an especially close connection to those two because they spent so much time with our families, in particular in the fall, and they did an awesome job for us,” Pendleton said of Dever and Yoder. “Regan Keasling spent a couple of weeks watching our kids on multiple occasions, and her older sister played for us. There are a number of kids at Free State who helped us out and established positive relationships with us.”

Pendleton scheduled the game after taking his new job. It originally was supposed to open the season, but a conflict forced a rescheduling to what just happens to fall on Senior Day. “Not only is it a big, important game for us, but I’ll get to see some of these kids I’ve known since they were 8, 9, 10 years old, and now they’re on the verge of going to college,” Pendleton said.

Pendleton said he watched Free State play for “about 30 minutes” last week.

“I was impressed with what Kelly is doing with them,” he said. “They’re over .500 for the first time since 2001. Kelly has done a great job with them.”

Pendleton can take pride in knowing the Kansas Soccer Academy he and Kansas University coach Mark Francis established has increased the skill of the players and has increased participation numbers in the sport.

Pendleton, who always has had some old-fashioned drill sergeant to him, and Barah have different styles, but no difference of opinion as to whether to allow freshman Alexa Harmon-Thomas to split her time between soccer and track and field.

“Not that it’s my team or my decision, so nobody cares what my opinion is, but I absolutely would have found a way to let her play,” Pendleton said. “I was looking forward for many years to her being a part of the soccer program. I had conversations with Alexa’s mom and with coach (Steve) Heffernan about how to sort out all that. Why not let her have the overall high school experience? And she makes both programs better.”

Pendleton called HarmonThomas, “as good an athlete as I’ve seen in my entire high school career. She has big-time, potential Div. I talent in both sports.”

Pendleton said he knows and has instructed every Firebirds player except Margaux Gill.

That should give him an edge in scouting, provided he doesn’t overdo it.

“It can end up being paralysis by analysis,” he said.

If the schools make this an annual game, it can become quite an event, given both squads’ youth and talent.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH TURNER GILL WATCHES spring workouts in this April 1 file photo at the KU practice facility. Gill released KU’s post-spring depth chart, which featured a few surprises, on Wednesday.

Gill’s post-spring chart offers surprise along D-line

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football program released its first official depth chart of the spring this week, and more than a couple of things popped off the page about the new pecking order.

First, red-shirt freshman Pat Lewandowski, a 6-foot-6, 248pound defensive lineman from Blue Valley West High in Overland Park, has been moved back to defensive end.

Lewandowski came to KU as a defensive end prior to the 2010 season, but spent the majority of

game of 2011 against Georgia Tech. Page 3B

spring drills trying to bulk up while playing defensive tackle.

Lewandowski looked good throughout the spring game, finishing with three tackles and generating consistent pressure up the middle. However, KU coach Turner Gill said Wednesday that fur-

ther evaluation of Lewandowski’s skillset led the Jayhawks’ coaching staff to determine he would best serve the team at his original position.

“He did participate at defensive tackle all spring, but it has been decided that he will be moved back to defensive end, where he will play this fall,” Gill said.

Lewandowski’s size likely played a role in the decision. After the spring game, the Blue Valley West alum said his goal weight for the season, in order to play defensive tackle, was in the 275-to-280pound range. That would have meant adding 20-30 pounds in the

next three months. As it stands now, Lewandowski’s size puts him in the ideal range for a defensive end, a position at which the Jayhawks are lacking proven performers.

Though he’s been in town for just a year and has yet to play a down, Lewandowski already has proven himself to be the kind of player who just wants to play, regardless of position.

“Take all the reps you can,” he said after the spring game. “No one wants to be sitting on that sideline.”

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Ex-Jayhawk Woolridge visits Washington St.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Royce Woolridge, who announced plans to transfer from Kansas University on April 15, recently made a recruiting trip to Washington State University.

“The coaches were real cool. I like the plays, the players, everything. I got a good vibe,” said the 6-foot-3 freshman combo guard from Phoenix, who says he will also visit Utah, Stanford and Pepperdine.

Washington State last season was led by 6-foot-6 shooting guard Klay Thompson, a junior

who is expected to be tapped in the first round of June’s NBA Draft.

Utah is led by former NBA player Larry Krystkowiak, who coached Woolridge in the Schweitzer Games in Germany following Woolridge’s senior year at Sunnyslope High. He, in fact, made Woolridge captain of that U.S. team.

Stanford, one of the top academic schools in the country, is led by former NBA player Johnny Dawkins.

Pepperdine, located in beautiful Malibu, Calif., is bringing in one of Woolridge’s friends: Jor-

dan Baker, a 6-2 guard from Tempe, Ariz.

Woolridge may not have a school picked out until mid-June.

“I’m definitely going to miss it here,” Woolridge said Wednesday, noting he wouldn’t make any more visits until final exams are complete. ●

Lacey update: Trevor Lacey, a 6-3 senior guard from Butler High in Huntsville, Ala., who will sign with KU, Alabama, Auburn or Kentucky next Wednesday, visited KU last weekend.

“Well, his dad was really fired up about the tradition at Kansas,” Butler High coach Jack Doss told Rivals.com. “He was fired up about the tradition and what Kansas has to offer. Trevor told me he had a great visit to Kansas.”

Woolridge recently visited Washington State, but may not decide where he will transfer until mid-June

LAWRENCE INVITATIONAL

FSHS golfers11th, LHS 18th

FREE STATE HIGH’S ALEX GREEN LOOKS AFTER his tee shot on Wednesday at Alvamar Country Club.

On some days, Lawrence High sophomore Brett Van Blaricum can step into the tee box and feel no nerves at all.

As he began his round Wednesday at the Lawrence Invitational at Alvamar public — for whatever reason — it was not one of those days for Van Blaricum.

Because of the shotgun format, Van Blaricum teed off on the par-4 fifth hole, which features a tight fairway lined with thick trees on the right and a creek on the left.

Van Blaricum’s ball found the trees, and he went on to make triple-bogey to begin his round, but rebounded well to card a team-low 85 after shooting 1under over his final five holes.

“This being a home course (for LHS), I wanted to play well,” Van Blaricum said. “If it wasn’t for my blow-up holes, I would’ve shot an 81, or an 82, so I’m pretty happy with how I played.”

Neither LHS nor Free State High shot quite as well as it would have liked, especially on a familiar course, but still put up respectable scores.

FSHS finished tied for 11th

with a team score of 330, while LHS finished 18th after scoring 347.

Shawnee Mission East won the tournament with a 296, followed by Shawnee Mission Northwest at 310. SM Northwest won a tiebreaker over Blue Valley North.

LHS junior Logan Henrichs, who carded an 87 in the final leg of the three-round Sunflower League tournament, placed 10th in the league as an individual with a three-round total of 243.

SM East (884) also won the Please see GOLF, page 3B

COMING FRIDAY

WASHINGTON — At the cost of a $1 million fine, the Fiesta Bowl will keep its place in the Bowl Championship Series.

The BCS presidential oversight committee imposed the penalty Wednesday in the wake of a scandal at the Arizonabased game that included apparently illegal campaign contributions from staff and lavish spending by the former CEO on parties and a night at a strip club.

Under the ruling, the Fiesta Bowl can remain part of the system for deciding college football’s national champion, though in addition to the fine it also must meet certain BCS demands such as strengthening the Fiesta Bowl’s board and imposing greater supervision over bowl executives.

“The message is they had cleaned house and addressed their problems, but our group doesn’t believe they went far enough,” Bill Hancock, executive director of the BCS, said in a telephone interview. He added that the $1 million fine was meant to reflect the “serious nature of the matter.”

The BCS called for the money to be donated to charities serving Arizona youth.

BASKETBALL ‘Tractor’ Traylor dies SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — Robert Traylor, the former NBA and University of Michigan big man nicknamed “Tractor” because of his hulking frame, has died. He was 34.

Described as a “gentle giant” with a generous smile, Traylor played seven years in the NBA. He is perhaps most remembered, however, for his career at Michigan, where he was a standout for three seasons but became embroiled in a major scandal involving a booster.

Police in San Juan said Traylor was found dead Wednesday on the bedroom floor of his oceanfront apartment. Police and Traylor’s team, the Bayamon Cowboys, said he had been missing for a few days and apparently died from a heart attack.

Tubby Smith had cancer MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota coach Tubby Smith says he’s “feeling great” and free of prostate cancer after dealing with the disease for the past year.

The university issued a statement from Smith on Wednesday. The 59-year-old had not previously revealed his condition.

Smith says he had surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., on April 21 to contain and remove the cancer. He says a routine physical and subsequent biopsy last spring showed an early stage of prostate cancer.

Barnes gets raise AUSTIN, TEXAS — Texas coach Rick Barnes has received a $200,000 raise that boosts his pay to $2.4 million each season.

The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the pay hike Wednesday. The motion recognized Barnes for his “commitment, motivation and performance” and the desire to keep him coaching the Longhorns.

Barnes will be entering his 14th season at Texas. He has taken the Longhorns to the NCAA Tournament each season but hasn’t advanced past the second round in four of the last five years.

BASEBALL Phillies 2B suspended NEW YORK — Phillies second baseman Kevin Frandsen was suspended for 50 games Wednesday following a positive test under baseball’s minorleague drug program.

A veteran of five seasons with the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Angels, Frandsen signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on April 1. He became a free agent in December when the Angels declined to offer a 2011 contract.

Game time set for KU-Ga. Tech

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football officials announced Wednesday that the game time for KU’s third game of the 2011 season, at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, has been set for 11:30 a.m. Central time.

The game will be played at Bobby Dodd Stadium and will be broadcast by the ACC’s Regional Sports Network.

The Jayhawks, who open the season with back-to-back home games against McNeese State and Northern Illinois, will travel south looking to knock off the Yellow Jackets for the second consecutive season.

Last year, after dropping its season opener to FCS foe North Dakota State at home, KU stunned then-No. 15 Geor-

Another note of interest from the post-spring depth chart came at cornerback, where sophomore Tyler Patmon, one of the team’s top defenders down the stretch during 2010, was listed as a second-teamer behind senior Isiah Barfield.

Patmon entered the spring as an almost-certain firststringer, but when the depth chart came out, he was listed with the second team. Asked to explain Patmon’s placement, Gill said nothing more than, “He is where he is.”

One area in which Barfield has the edge over Patmon is

gia Tech, 28-25, in what went down as the team’s signature victory in an otherwise forgettable 3-9 season.

Red-shirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webb threw for 179 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start, and freshman running back James Sims ran for 101 yards and a TD on 17 carries, making him the first true freshman in KU history to rush for 100 yards in his debut.

The victory against Georgia Tech also featured one of the season’s top offensive highlights, as wide receiver Daymond Patterson took a five-yard pass from Webb and pin-balled his way to a 32-yard touchdown — capped by a head-first dive into the end zone — that proved to be the difference.

experience. The senior from Haven High has started 14 games during his three seasons and appeared in countless others. Patmon made nine starts a year ago. The possibility remains that Patmon could be the team’s firststring nickelback, a position he held for most of 2010, but that spot was not listed on the most recent depth chart.

Barfield missed the early portion of spring drills while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but was able to participate as the spring went along, though not always at full-speed. ●

LAWRENCE HIGH’S CONNOR HENRICHS CHIPS onto the 10th green at the Lawrence Invite on Wednesday at Alvamar.

“The worst part was, from the same yardage out (around 180 yards), I’d be hitting a 4iron and they’d hit a 7-iron onto the green and make birdie,” York said. “That’s ridiculous.”

York, who shot a 38 on the front nine and 39 on the back,

latest depth chart includes just two spots for wideouts — Christian Matthews and Daymond Patterson are listed as first-stringers — and two spots for running backs, a tailback and a fullback. This is in line with what Gill wants his offense to become, a powerrunning product that controls the clock and features the team’s most talented position.

The presence of first-team fullback Nick Sizemore, a transfer from Buffalo, certainly made going this route easier. Sizemore had a great spring and should be a difference-maker for the KU running game.

said his best stretch was on Nos. 6-8. He birdied the par-3 sixth (the No. 1 handicap on the course), bogeyed the seventh, and birdied the par-5 eighth.

Others weren’t as fortunate with the putter. Becker, for instance, stood just off the 18th green after his round and grinned as he joked to a few of his teammates about his still-admirable score of 84: “The other day (at Leavenworth), I made every putt.

Today I couldn’t make anything.”

“That’s golf,” FSHS coach Matt Gudenkauf said. “Everything can be working one day, and it’s way off the next.”

Both the Firebirds and Lions hope everything is working Monday, when they’ll begin regionals at St. Andrews Golf Course in Overland Park.

Van Blaricum is one of the few city golfers to have played St. Andrews — which both Gudenkauf and Wedd said was supposed to be similar to Eagle Bend — while the rest of the city’s best golfers will get their first look at it in a practice round this weekend.

J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University women’s basketball assistant coach Katie O’Connor has accepted a job as assistant coach at the University of Virginia.

O’Connor has been a part of the KU staff for seven years under head coach Bonnie Henrickson.

“I would like to thank Katie for all of her hard work as an assistant coach for our program,” Henrickson said. “She is a tireless recruiter and did an outstanding job working with our players.”

A former player for Henrickson at Virginia Tech, O’Connor spent three seasons as a full-time assistant coach at her alma mater.

Before becoming an assistant coach, O’Connor spent two years as an administrative assistant for the Hokies.

team had to play hard for all 80 minutes in Tuesday’s much-needed home victory against Leavenworth.

Nearly 21 hours later, the Lions were back on their homefield, picking up a game against Olathe Northwest that was postponed earlier in the season.

The Lions started in a 1-0 deficit nine minutes into the first half, and they just didn’t have enough legs to mount a comeback, falling 4-0 on Wednesday.

LHS coach Joe Nemzer said he thought his team actually played tougher than it did Tuesday.

“It’s never easy playing back-to-back, especially in this conference,” Nemzer said.

Junior Hannah Kaloupek scored the first — technically, the second — goal for the Ravens, taking two touches on a through ball before slotting it into the back of the net past freshman keeper Alex Ewy. LHS freshman Addison

Conner Henrichs shot an 87 at the Lawrence Invite for the Lions, followed by Devon Weber and Jesse Ohtake at 88, and Narito Mendez at 94.

After halftime, the Ravens added goals at 36:14 and 24:06 to build their lead.

Ewy, who picked up the start after having a strong warmup before the game, made a couple of nice saves to prevent the Ravens from racking up more goals on their 22 shots.

Again the game was called off because of the weather. A side referee spotted lightning in the darkening sky, and both teams agreed to call the game with 14:40 left in the second half.

But this time, the f inal result will stand.

In the last game of the regular season, the Lions will travel to Topeka for a 6:15 p.m. match on Friday against Topeka High.

something first seen last season with Gill’s depth charts.

The first and most notable usage is at quarterback, where sophomore Jordan Webb is listed first, but only separated from senior Quinn Mecham by the infamous O-word.

This, according to Gill, does not mean that Webb is the starter. It merely means that the battle is still on and that both guys — along with incoming freshmen Brock Berglund and Michael Cummings — are still in the running for the job. The other areas where “OR” is used are at tight end, where Ted McNulty or AJ Steward are listed as the backups to senior Tim Biere, and wide receiver, where Chris Omigie or D.J. Beshears fall in line behind Matthews.

FSHS, LHS baseball to clash at Hoglund

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

KU tennis duo honored IRVING, TEXAS — Kansas University tennis players Ekaterina Morozova and Dylan Windom were recognized by the Big 12 Conference on Wednesday.

Morozova (16-13 in singles, 15-7 doubles) was named to the All-Big 12 singles and doubles teams, garnering the doubles accolade with her partner, Windom.

The Lions (11-8) will be looking for revenge.

“They will be a much different team, I can assure you of that,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said after Monday’s game.

“We just need to make sure we’re not a much different team, because if we are, we’re going to get beat like they did tonight.”

Stoll, whose Lions won the Sunflower League title this season, said his team would definitely have a chip on its shoulder.

At 7 t o n i g h t , t h e Fre e State and Lawrence High baseball teams will meet for t h e s e c o n d t i m e i n fo u r days.

This time, the game will be played on a big stage: Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark, also home to the Class 6A state tournament.

The Firebirds (14-5) dominated Monday’s game at FSHS, jumping to a 3-0 lead after the first inning and scoring a 12-1 victory in f ive ● World Company Cup innings. standings on page 5B

NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Hosmer’s family rose from their seats at Yankee Stadium, watching his f irst career home run go soaring into the second deck in right field.

They were probably more excited about his sacrifice fly about three hours later.

Hosmer drove in Chris Getz with a shallow flyball in the 11th inning, capping a late comeback and lifting the Royals to a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees.

“They’re both big, but winning the game is what we come here for,” Hosmer said of his two highlight hits. “I fell down 0-2 to a tough pitcher out of the bullpen, knowing Getz is on third and can run, and just tried to get it out in play and get him home.”

Wilson Betemit had a tying RBI single in the eighth inning for the Royals, and Jeff Francoeur drove in a run during the 10th inning. Joakim Soria (3-0) allowed Curtis

Granderson’s matching RBI single in the bottom half of the 10th, but still managed to pick up the win after blowing his second save in eight tries this season.

Louis Coleman pitched the 11th for his first career save, helping the Royals end a seven-game road skid and win for the sixth time when trailing in the eighth inning or later.

Buddy Carlyle (0-1) walked Getz to lead off the 11th inning, and Luis Ayala came into the game to face Alcides Escobar, who laid down a sacrifice bunt. Jarrod Dyson followed with an infield single, and Cabrera was walked before Hosmer’s go-ahead fly to center field.

Granderson also hit a solo homer for the Yankees, and Jorge Posada had a pair of hits and drove in a run. But Derek Jeter was 0-for-6, and New York left 15 runners on base.

MIAMI’S LEBRON JAMES, RIGHT, HUGS BOSTON COACH DOC RIVERS after the Heat defeated the Celtics, 97-87, in Game 5 of a second-round NBA playoff basketball series Wednesday in Miami.

Heat vanquish Celts ————

Miami, James get over Boston ‘hump’ The Associated Press

Heat 97, Celtics 87 MIAMI — For LeBron James, Game 5 last season against Boston was horrific.

A year later, Game 5 was humbling.

And he and the Miami Heat are halfway to an NBA championship, having f inally found a way to vanquish the Celtics.

Dwyane Wade scored 34 points, James added 33 — including the game’s last 10 in a spectacular closing flourish, part of Miami’s 16-0 run over the final 4:15 — and the Heat beat the Celtics on Wednesday night to win their Eastern Conference semifinal series in five games.

When it was over, James knelt on the court, oblivious to the photographers who quickly surrounded him in Miami’s celebration.

“Everything went through my mind at that point,” James said. “Finally getting over this hump against this team.

Everything I went through this summer, with ‘The Decision’ and deciding to come down here to be a part of this team ... because I knew how important team is to this sport ... and all the backlash I got from it.

“I’d be up here for two hours if I tell you exactly everything that went through my head. Very emotional at that point, you know, and happy we got through it as a team.”

That they did — as a team.

James Jones hit a threepointer that kickstarted the final push, and Chris Bosh finished with 14 points — none of them more important than the two coming when he blew past Kevin Garnett for a game-tying dunk with 2:57 left.

Wade carried Miami early,

then James finished the job.

His personal 10-0 run to close the game put some long-simmering Celtics demons to rest.

“I play with the two best players in the league,” Bosh said. “And we do this together.”

True, this was about the collective.

Ray Allen led Boston with 18 points. Garnett had 15 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce scored 12 and Delonte West added 10.

“Right now, I am really upset,” Pierce said. “I wish I could have played better tonight. Unfortunately we came up on the short end of the stick. I tip my hat off to Miami. They really played great basketball.”

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Annie: Our 35-yearold daughter, “Keri,” stole one of our credit cards and ran up a bill of nearly $30,000. She did this just after we signed for a new car for her — on which she has discontinued making payments.

Keri has a good job, and we don’t understand where her money goes. My husband had to put off retiring this year in order to meet her obligations.

Charity concert raises funds, awareness for storm victims A season of tribulation inspires a benefit concert. Torrential rains, floods and tornadoes have afflicted many parts of the American heartland, most notably Alabama, where a tornado killed hundreds when it touched down in Tuscaloosa, the state’s fifth-largest city and the home of the University of Alabama.

“Music Builds: CMT Disaster Relief Concert” (8 p.m., CMT) unites country stars for a live event to benefit American Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts. Scheduled performers include Hank Williams Jr., Alabama, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Ronnie Dunn, Sarah Evans and Tim McGraw.

In addition to raising funds, the concert organizers hope to use tonight’s event to keep attention focused on the devastation and need for sustained aid, as the media can have a habit of doing a better job of covering the immediacy of a disaster than the long, hard job of rebuilding. ● Paintball wars conclude on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC). And so does the season for this less-than-water-cooler-generating NBC comedy. While “Community” has been renewed for another season, the fate of “Outsourced,” also ending its season tonight, is still up in the air.

In other season-finale news, Langston confronts killer Nate Haskell on the final episode of the 11th season of “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). “Vampire Diaries” and “Nikita” also wrap up their seasons on the CW tonight.

“30 Rock” slipped into summer hiatus last week without much fanfare. More notable and negative news was generated by “The Office.” That comedy lost a considerable portion of its audience in the first week after the departure of Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell. ● The treacherous waters off Newfoundland and Maine are the setting for a third season of “Swords: Life on the Line” (9 p.m., Discovery), documenting a fishing boat in the North Atlantic rich in swordfish but notorious for violent storms, most notably the catastrophe of 1991 that claim six lives on the ship the Andrea Gail, made famous by the book, and subsequent film, “The Perfect Storm.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● A singer goes home on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). In addition, Steven Tyler sells a video and Jordin Sparks performs. ● Before he was “The Fighter” he was the “Rock Star” (7 p.m., VH1 Classic).

Mark Wahlberg stars in this 2001 drama as a tribute band singer hired by a real heavy mental band to replace a departing front man. Jennifer Aniston co-stars. ● Dwight takes over as interim manager on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● On two episodes of “Parks and Recreation” (NBC), two fight for one job (8:30 p.m.), road tripping (9 p.m.). ● After a violinist’s murder an orchestra fills with suspects on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

Cult choice A color-coded heist job dissolves into chaos and violence in director Quentin Tarantino’s break-through 1992 drama “Reservoir Dogs” (7 p.m., IFC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, May 12: This year, many opportunities head your way. You have an unusual amount of energy and drive. If you are single, you could meet someone special in the latter part of your birthday year. If you are attached, review your long-term goals as a couple. Then decide which one to manifest. Virgo tosses in another perspective.

Dear Annie: My wife recently had an affair. She told me she was in love with the guy and was going to leave me. Now she says she realizes he was only using her physically and she isn’t interested in him anymore.

This affair ended last winter, and they had no contact for a while. Our marriage seemed to be mending. However, about six weeks ago, my wife grew more and more distant and had no interest in being intimate. I then discovered she was texting this same man. When I confronted her, she denied she was doing anything wrong. Now if I bring it up, she becomes angry and refuses to discuss it.

I have a problem with this. I feel her continued conversations with this man are a violation of my trust. She betrayed me with this guy and claimed he was no longer a part of her life. Her justification is that she isn’t, in fact, seeing him and has no interest in resuming their affair. She says she is completely committed to me.

I still am hurt by his attentions and her continued communication with him. This is becoming a very sore spot in our relationship, and I fear it may lead to a divorce. Am I wrong to feel this way? I love my wife and believe she loves me, but I find it almost impossible to trust her. Please help.

— Brokenhearted Husband
