Be prepared for severe weather The weather this spring has been unpredictable, so here are some tips to help you stay safe if severe weather strikes: ● Go to an underground shelter, basement or safe room. ● If that isn’t available, go to a small, windowless interior room or hallway on the lowest level of a sturdy building. ● Flee mobile homes. Seek other shelter. ● Agree with your family about where you will gather after a disaster.

Choose a place near your home and another outside your neighborhood. ● Pack a disaster kit.

● Know the signs of an approaching tornado: a dark, often greenish sky, large hail, a loud roar similar to a freight train. ● If you’re caught in your car, do not seek shelter under a highway overpass. If you can get to shelter in a sturdy building, go there. As a last resort you can either: Stay in the car with your seat belt on, putting your head below the windows and covering with a blanket; or if you can get safely to an area that’s lower than the road, leave your vehicle, lie in that area and cover your head with your hands.

Some items for a disaster kit for your basement: ● Three days worth of water (one gallon per person per day) and food that won’t spoil. Don’t forget a can opener. ● A change of clothing. And don’t forget to wear your shoes. ● Medicine and a first-aid kit. ● Blankets, sleeping bags.

KANSAS CITY , K AN . — Gov. Sam Brownback made it clear Tuesday that he wants the Kansas University Medical Center to improve its national ranking and he wants to overhaul the state tax system to attract more business.

Brownback’s comments came during his economic summit on life sciences at KUMC. The morning-long conference brought together more than 150 politicians, researchers, business representatives, administrators and doctors.

The stated goal was to come up with ways for Kansas to Brownback increase life sciences research to improve health care and develop more jobs.

“You have to be a global competitor if you’re going to enter the field,” Brownback said. “We need to pick where we are going to compete and win at it.”

FACULTY AND STAFF AT WAKARUSA VALLEY SCHOOL WAVE THEIR FINAL GOODBYE to the students leaving on buses Tuesday, which has been a long tradition at the school. Tuesday was the last day of elementary classes at the school, which the Lawrence school board closed due to expected budget shortfalls. See the video online at LJWorld.com.

Student returns to National Geographic Bee finals

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Lawrence may as well be the center of the geographic universe today, even with some of the finest young Earth-minded brains on the planet huddled in Washington, D.C. Stefan Petrovic, a soon-to-be eighth-grader at South Middle School, is among 10 contestants to make the finals of the National Geographic Bee, which winds up today in the nation’s capital.

The final day will begin with opening remarks from none other than Brian McClendon, the Google executive and engineer behind Google Earth — Stefan a man who just happened to grow up in Lawrence and graduate from Lawrence High School, where Stefan will be set to attend beginning in 2012-13.

Q: Annam and Cochin China are historic regions of what present-day country?

A: Vietnam.

Today’s final round will be moderated by National Geographic and taped for later showing on the National Geographic Channel.

The winner will receive a $25,000 scholarship. Last year, Stefan finished fourth in the national bee.

For now, of course, Stefan has work to do.

Having already won the Kansas state competition, he persevered through Tuesday’s nine rounds of preliminaries, which started with 54 competitors: one representative from each state, plus the District of Columbia, Pacific territories, Atlantic territories and Department of Defense.

Stefan was among six competitors to advance by correctly answering a tiebreaker question Tuesday:

Former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six fielded abortion questions Tuesday from a U.S. Senate committee weighing his nomination to a seat on a federal appeals court.

His hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee comes two months after President Barack Obama nominated the Democrat to sit on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Six, a former state judge, began his law career nearly two decades ago as a clerk at the Denver-based court. He lost his attorney general’s seat in the wave of Republican election victories and left office in January.

Six Six mostly was grilled by the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, on abortion issues stemming from his tenure as attorney general and his judicial views on the issue.

Grassley asked him whether he believed the new Kansas statute further restricting abortions after the 21st week of pregnancy based on the disputed notion that fetuses can feel pain was

DEATHS Funeral services for Louise Turner, 77, Topeka, are pending and will be announced by Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

Ms. Turner died Monday, May 23, 2011, at StormontVail Regional Health Center in Topeka.

VIRGINIA LEE WESLEY EAVES Funeral services for Virginia Lee Wesley Eaves, 83, Shawnee, Okla., formerly of Roeland Park, will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Shurden-Jackson Funeral Home in Henryetta, Okla., with the Rev. David Dunson officiating. Burial will follow

consistent with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that said abortion restrictions cannot pose “an undue burden” on women.

“When I was attorney general I did not evaluate that issue and since I have gone into private practice, I haven’t had any similar issues like that come out and I haven’t read the Kansas statute,” Six replied. “I simply haven’t studied it, senator.”

The 10th Circuit appeals court would oversee any constitutional challenge that may be filed in federal courts in Kansas.

“He really can’t answer that because then you know if it came before the court he would have to recuse himself,” said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond who watched the Webcast proceedings and said he thought Six “did very well” and was very articulate.

“And so I think he did a nice job of deflecting that, too, and that is a perfectly legitimate way to handle it. It is a question you really can’t answer. If you do, then you can be accused of prejudging the issue.”

The committee did not make a decision Tuesday on Six’s nomination. Senators asked him to submit written answers to some questions in the following week. A vote would come during a sepa-

rate hearing, likely to be scheduled sometime in the next month or so. The full Senate would then get a chance to vote on his nomination.

Six, 45, was a Douglas County District Court judge in Lawrence from 2005 until his 2008 appointment as Kansas attorney general by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who is now secretary of U.S. Health and Human Services.

When Grassley asked him whether as attorney general he had ever been subject to any pressure by the governor or anyone in her administration not to pursue charges against Planned Parenthood, Six replied he never had any discussion with Sebelius about any topics or cases in his office’s criminal division.

The former attorney general also carefully skirted Republican questioning about the abortion controversies he inherited from his two immediate predecessors.

Republican Phill Kline, a staunch abortion opponent, was elected attorney general in 2002 and focused his term as attorney general on investigating abortion clinics.

Kline was defeated by Democrat Paul Morrison in 2006, who resigned amid a sex scandal, leading to Six’s appointment.

Project options considered Brownback should city win challenge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

From solar panels on a fire station to new lights on city ball fields, the leadership team heading Lawrence’s Take Charge Challenge has been toying with how to best spend a $100,000 prize.

It should be clear that no one has won the prize yet. But if Lawrence does beat Manhattan in the competition, the local team wants to make sure they pick a project that people will see and support.

Lawrence only recently gained the lead over Manhattan in the competition, sponsored by the Kansas Energy Office, that determines which city can save the most energy.

The winner, which will be decided at the end of September, receives $100,000 to spend on a community project that is energy efficient or uses renewable energy.

On Tuesday, the leadership team considered these possibilities: ● A thermal solar hot water heater for Prairie Park Nature Center. The $8,000 project could pay for itself in about 15 years. ● Solar panels at Fire Station No. 5, 1911 Stewart Ave. With two south-facing roof lines and next to one of the busiest intersections in Lawrence, a project could showcase renewable energy

The advancement of life sciences has come a long way in the region, several speakers said.

KU is about to apply for National Cancer Institute designation for the KU Cancer Center.

KU Hospital has gone from near fiscal ruin in the 1990s to becoming nationally recognized for patient Gray-Little care.

And research dollars flowing to KUMC have increased from $69 million in 2005 to $100 million last year. The medical center’s ranking by the National Institutes of Health has risen from 75th in 2006 to 60th in 2010 out of 124 ranked.

“We think we have done a lot, and we think there is a lot more to do,” said KUMC Executive Vice Chancellor Barbara Atkinson.

Brownback emphasized several times during his comments that KU needed to improve its ranking.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little welcomed the challenge.

“I endorse that,” Gray-Little said. She said it will take an extra commitment to recruit more researchers and improve the physical resources at the medical center.

Kansas Board of Regents — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached Chairman Ed McKechnie at 832-6352. agreed with Brownback.

technology. A $66,000 solar panel project would cover about 2 percent of the building’s energy usage and a $150,000 project would cover about 5 percent of the city’s energy usage. Either way, the project’s cost would be recouped over 16 to 20 years. ● While having an energy audit done doesn’t directly save energy, audits give clear direction on ways buildings can become more energy eff icient.

The team proposed spending some of the money on energy audits. Audits can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. ● The lights shining above Holcom and Hobbs fields have been there for 40 years. If they were replaced with new technology, the number of bulbs needed could be cut almost in half. Outfitting just one field would cost more than the prize money, so the city would have to agree to help shoulder the cost (which could be around $130,000 per field).

Fewer light bulbs would be needed, and the city would have more control over when they can be turned on. However, because the project includes the massive cost of replacing poles and other lighting fixtures, the project wouldn’t actually save the city money over the long run.

“A governor’s job is to encourage and push. I was glad to hear: ‘We’re expecting results,’” he said.

Some business leaders said it was difficult to attract venture capital to the Midwest, but others said investment money was out there waiting for the economy to settle.

Most speakers said life sciences research was on the upswing, and many expressed enthusiasm about the recent announcement by Google that Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Mo., would be the first location for the company’s ultra highspeed fiber project.

Milo Medin, vice president of access services for Google Inc., said the high-speed Internet will yield products not yet even imagined.

“We believe speed is critical to innovation and competitiveness. We believe we are in the early stages of a revolution. We want to invent the future with you,” Medin said.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Brownback reiterated his call to reduce income taxes, saying that will attract more people and businesses to the state.

He said he was tired of hearing about Kansans moving to Texas and Florida, both of which have no state individual income tax.

“I want to start beating the Texans and Floridians,” he said.

This was the third summit held by Brownback; the first two being on aviation and tourism. A meeting on animal health sciences will be June 9 in Manhattan.

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

Grassley wanted to know why Six did not reopen the investigation into alleged discrepancies in the Planned Parenthood records.

“When I was appointed I stepped into some of those challenging issues,” Six said.

“They certainly weren’t any issues I sought out, but I tried to handle it in the most professional way that I could.”

He told the committee that his assistant attorneys general who work the case make the prosecutorial decisions.

He said he does not believe he should tell the prosecutors who handle the cases what they should or should not do given their ethical duties and responsibilities.

Six also said his off ice brought to the Kansas Supreme Court various issues on sensitive medical records Kline took with him on the day he left office. He said the Kansas Supreme Court had previously entered instructions for how to handle those records and noted Kline was before the disciplinary board in the state and had been sanctioned by the state Supreme Court over activities related to that investigation.

“So I was very sensitive to always bring it to the court and let the court make the decision,” Six said.

Firms accused of manipulating oil prices U.S. commodity regulators are suing three companies and two individuals claiming they manipulated crude oil futures prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange over four months in 2008.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed the civil complaint Tuesday in New York against Parnon Energy Inc., Arcadia Petroleum Ltd. and Arcadia Energy (Suisse) SA, and two men accused of directing the trading scheme: James T. Dyer of Australia and Nicholas J. Wildgoose of California.

Regulators claim the defendants traded futures and other contracts based on the price of West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil, a benchmark for crude oil prices.

Then they allegedly took steps to artificially drive the price up, then back down, reaping more than $50 million in unlawful profits. The complaint seeks that the defendants give up profits from the scheme, among other penalties.

Netanyahu vows ‘painful compromises’ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cheering U.S. Congress on Tuesday he was willing to make “painful compromises” for peace with the Palestinians, but he offered little concrete to entice Palestinians back to the bargaining table.

By giving such a high-profile speech before overwhelmingly supportive U.S. lawmakers, Netanyahu was able to demonstrate to Israelis that he retains strong backing in the United States despite his frosty relations with President Barack Obama.

He also moved the needle on territorial compromise, for the first time explicitly saying in his address that Israel would have to give up some West Bank settlements. But Palestinians immediately rejected his overall peace package. One senior Palestinian official even dubbed Netanyahu’s peace blueprint a “declaration of war.”

Wescoe auditoriums, Underground upgraded

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Construction crews ripped out chairs, tore away carpets and pulled down wall coverings inside Wescoe Hall’s two large auditoriums just up the concrete stairs from Wescoe Beach.

Now the real work begins.

Crews are busy remodeling both the George P. Waggoner Auditorium and the William P. Albrecht Auditorium, each formerly home to 500 or so padded seats that had been bolted to the floor for decades.

By noon Monday — the day after Commencement — KU’s

Facilities Operations crews had stripped the walls down to their studs and had left the stairstepped floor as exposed concrete. Chairs and fold-out desktops filled one large roll-off Dumpster outside, while others awaited in a pile.

“The interior finishes in those lecture halls are original to the building,” said Jill Jess, a university spokeswoman. “One of the things they are doing is removing those finishes and going into the infrastructure in the walls so they can improve technology in those lecture halls.”

The auditorium overhauls, which cost about $500,000, are

Though no group immediately claimed responsibility for the early morning strike in Peshawar, it added to growing fears that it will be a bloody summer as Pakistani Taliban and other al-Qaida affiliated groups carry out threats to avenge the al-Qaida chief’s slaying.

Volcanic ash spews, canceling flights Ash spewing from an Icelandic volcano is bringing disruption and days of uncertainty to more parts of Europe, as officials in Germany said dozens of flights will be grounded today.

Even though some say it’s been a massive overreaction by badly prepared safety regulators — one airline even claims the official scientific findings are simply wrong — hundreds of flights were canceled Tuesday as winds blew the cloud of ash from the Grimsvotn volcano over Scotland and other parts of Europe. Experts say that particles in the ash could stall jet engines and sandblast planes’ windows.

The only comfort for frustrated passengers and airlines is that officials in Iceland said the amount of ash being released by the volcano is decreasing, and officials don’t expect the disruption to be as bad as last year.

Egypt’s prosecutor general ordered Tuesday former President Hosni Mubarak put on trial on charges of corruption and conspiring in the deadly shootings of protesters during the uprising that ousted him, a stunning step against a leader whose power was nearly unquestioned for three decades.

The announcement that Mubarak would face a criminal court grants a major demand of Egyptians who have threatened a second revolution amid growing worries about the slow pace of change under the country’s new military rulers. The charges could carry the death sentence, said the prosecutorgeneral spokesman Adel el-Said.

It would be the first time an Arab leader is sent to trial solely by his own people in modern history.

“The opening of the pool kicks off summer,” said Roger Steinbrock with Lawrence Parks and Recreation. “That is pretty much the standard in every community.”

Then summer will get its start in Lawrence on Saturday.

The city’s Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Ky., will open for the season at 1 p.m. Saturday.

He also knows his popular crime.

Lawrence resident James, who grew up living through both the sports and crime stories in the newspaper, has written numerous books on the former, revolutionizing statistics in a pastime full of them. He spoke to a crowd at the Lawrence Public Library on Tuesday evening about his new book on the latter subject.

James Filled with stories of interesting, true crimes from around the country, many involving murder, “Popular Crime: Reflections on the Celebration of Violence” focuses on the criminal events that have helped drive the media business.

“It’s the odd that becomes famous,” James said. “The ones that are planned and plotted. The reason we are fascinated is they bring forward a part of human nature.”

Dale and Reva Nimz, who have followed James’ work for years, attended the event Tuesday to see how the author and statistician might have worked his methods into a new genre.

“There are so many experts who only want to hear themselves,” Dale said. “He’s just very humane. It’s like a personal conversation.”

James is the first to admit he’s no expert on crime, though he’s still able to make interesting observations. He said in his research and readings he’s discovered that in some sense, crimes seem to be more threatening when the situations and Please see WRITER, page 5A

Garren testified at his trial that Broschart threatened him with a gun to come with him during the robbery and denied he had pointed a gun at the man.

The fire occurred at the onestory house, 303 W. 13th St. around 5:30 p.m. Monday, and it caused an estimated $72,000 in damage, said Division Chief Eve Tolefree. No one was injured.

Jane Blocher, executive director of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, said the fire displaced three men living there. The Red Cross provided funds for food and clothing for the men, who all have other places to live, Blocher said.

Grant to help develop Oread neighborhood

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The city of Lawrence has won a $30,000 grant to do more planning in the Oread neighborhood.

Kansas Historical Society announced it will award the city’s planning department $30,005 to develop overlay zoning districts in the Oread neighborhood.

Planning director Scott McCullough said the funding would be used to follow through on recommendations made in the Oread Neighborhood Plan, which was approved by commissioners last year. The neighborhood plan recommended that Oread be divided into several zoning districts that each would have their own

regulations related to density, parking requirements, building heights and other such matters.

But the neighborhood plan did not spell out in detail what those regulations should be. McCullough said the grant money would be used to hire a consultant to begin gathering public input and creating draft regulations for the district.

McCullough said the city was still examining the grant and trying to determine how quickly the process can begin.

“This will allow us to move quicker than we would be able to otherwise,” he said.

Lawrence city commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously directed staff to start negotiating an agreement with the operator of Lawrence Freenet to provide more high-speed Internet access in the city.

In fact, several city commissioners said they hope the deal can be put together so quickly that some Lawrence businesses and residences have access to superfast 1gigabyte Internet service months before Google’s much-ballyhooed project in Kansas City.

“I think the digital divide in the future will be about communities that have highspeed Internet and those that don’t,” City Commissioner Mike Dever said. “We’ll have communities to the east of us that will have some of the best technology in the world.

This is our offensive movement.”

Commissioners directed staff members to begin negotiations with Community Wireless Communications — the for-profit operator of Lawrence Freenet — to allow the company to access cityowned fiber optic cables along 23rd Street. Exact terms of the deal weren’t finalized at Tuesday’s meeting, but commissioners suggested a deal that would allow Community Wireless to lease about 5 percent of the fiber’s capacity for a onetime payment of $30,000.

Community Wireless also would pay the city 5 percent of its annual revenues for the right to access the cable and for the right to locate wireless Internet equipment on some pieces of city infrastructure.

Community Wireless president Joshua Montgomery said the deal would give his company the ability to begin offering 1-gigabyte Internet service — the same speed Google is planning for Kansas City, Kan. — to some businesses and apartment complexes in the city.

Depending on how quickly the deal can be put together, Montgomery is holding out hope that service can be in operation by August — several months before Google’s service is set to begin in 2012.

Unlike in Kansas City, Kan. — and recently it was announced Kansas City, Mo., too — the superfast Internet in Lawrence wouldn’t be available community-wide.

But Montgomery said the high-speed Internet could be offered along the entire 23rd Street corridor, the Daisy Hill area near Kansas University and perhaps along parts of Sixth Street and Iowa Street.

Montgomery said he can envision the high-speed Internet being a recruiting tool for businesses looking to locate at the East Hills Business Park or the new business park that the city plans to develop at the former Farmland Industries site on East 23rd Street. He also said he

Baker Wetlands tour offered to public

The public is being invited to join the deer, coyotes, beavers, opossums and countless birds that have visited the newly restored Baker Wetlands.

For more than two years, Baker University has worked to transform 142 acres of cornfields into a habitat that provides a home for native grasses and wildlife.

At 2 p.m. June 5, wetlands manager Roger Boyd will lead a tour through the wetlands.

The tour, presented by Kansas University Natural History Museum, is a chance for people to sieve for aquatic specimens, learn about sustaining wetlands ecosystems and be introduced to the history of the property.

Those interested in taking the tour should register by phone at 864-2344. The registration deadline is June 3.

The tour costs $7 for the public, $5 for members of Museum Friends and is free for children.

City gives Lawrence Freenet the go-ahead

expects the city agreement to be structured in a way that allows a certain amount of the high-speed service to be offered to companies at a reduced rate.

“I think it could end up being a real incentive for companies to locate here,” Montgomery said.

Several city commissioners, in particular, were excited about the possibility of piggybacking on the momentum that is occurring in nearby Kansas City.

“On the economic development side of this, I think the possibilities are almost endless,” City Commissioner Mike Amyx said.

The potential deal did cause an official with major Lawrence Internet provider Knology to raise concerns.

Debra Schmidt, interim general manager for Knology’s Lawrence operations, said the deal “may be opening the door to disparate treatment of other for-profit companies.”

City commissioners said they did not think that was the case, but directed staff members to meet with Knology officials to further hear their concerns prior to bringing back the Community Wireless deal for final consideration.

The new deal would replace several deals the city has with the not-for-profit Lawrence Freenet corporation. As part of those deals, the company received belowmarket rate prices to access city infrastructure in exchange for agreeing to offer about one free Internet account to a low income resident for every 9 paid accounts the company has.

Commissioners said they would like to see some language in the new agreement

that commits the for-profit Community Wireless to provide some free service to lowincome residents.

Other business In other news, city commissioners: ● Ag reed to accept a $1 50,000 g rant from the Kansas Department of Transportation to install fiber along 23rd Street for a project to better synchronize traffic signals on the street. The fiber would be the same fiber used by Community Wireless under the proposed deal. The grant money won’t become available in until July 2012, but

commissioners want to explore starting the project now and having the state reimburse the city for its $150,000 in expenses. City staff members were uncertain whether KDOT would agree to that arrangement. ● Set a bid date of June 14 for a pair of projects that will replace aging waterlines along Ninth Street from Tennessee to Vermont streets and along Kentucky Street from 12th to 19th streets. The project is expected to cost about $1.4 million.

Violent storms kill at least 7 in Oklahoma, Kansas

By Kristi Eaton Associated Press Writer

EL RENO , O KLA . — Violent thunderstorms roared across middle America on Tuesday, killing seven people in two states, with several tornadoes touching down in Oklahoma and high winds pounding rural Kansas.

The high-powered storms arrived as forecast, just two days after a massive tornado tore through the southwest Missouri town of Joplin and killed 122 people.

Several tornadoes struck Oklahoma City and its suburbs during rush hour, killing at least five people and injuring at least 60 others, including three children who were in critical condition, authorities said.

Cherokee Ballard, a spokeswoman for the state medical examiner, said four people died west of Oklahoma City in Canadian County, where a weather-monitoring site in El Reno recorded 151 mph winds. She did not

KENT BLAKESLEE LOOKS OVER THE DEBRIS of what was a barn that was destroyed by a tornado at his mother's house along U.S. highway 281, near the Stafford and Barton County, Kan., line on Tuesday. The tornado tore the roof off the house and destroyed five other buildings on the property. have any immediate details about the deaths.

At Chickasha, 25 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, a 26-year-old woman died when a tornado hit a mobile home park where residents

had been asked to evacuate their trailers, Assistant Police Chief Elip Moore said. He said that a dozen people were injured and that hundreds were displaced when the storm splintered their homes.

In Kansas, police said two people died when high winds threw a tree into their van around 6 p.m. near the small town of St. John, about 100 miles west of Wichita. The highway was shut down because of storm damage.

More severe weather occurred after nightfall as the storms continued east, but none with the power of the daytime storms. Their path included Joplin, which is cleaning up from a Sunday storm that was the nation’s eighth-deadliest twister among records dating to 1840.

“Unfortunately, this event will likely continue for some time,” Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said. “I am asking all Oklahomans to stay aware of the weather and to take proper precautions to keep themselves out of harm’s way.”

The Storm Prediction Center had warned since the weekend that strong, longlived tornadoes could hit Oklahoma and adjacent parts of Kansas and Texas. The

storm that killed four west of Oklahoma City later moved to the capital’s northern suburbs and on toward Stillwater — covering a distance of about 80 miles.

“We knew for the last two days that we had an opportunity for long-tracking tornadoes, and unfortunately that came true today,” said Michelann Ooten, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.

Storms that formed near Chickasha even forced the staff of the Storm Prediction Center to take shelter at their Norman headquarters for a time Tuesday, spokeswoman Keli Tarp said.

Ooten said at least 60 people were injured in the evening storms. Three children suffered major injuries in Piedmont west of Oklahoma City, according to Lara O’Leary, a spokeswoman for the region’s Emergency Medical Service Authority.

The line of storms began about 3 p.m. in Oklahoma and followed tracks greater than 40 miles into the state’s capital city before continuing on toward Tulsa. Oklahoma state offices and many businesses let workers leave hours earlier to get out of harm’s way.

Storm clouds also spawned funnel clouds and at least one tornado around North Texas, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Travelers and staff at the two major North Texas airports were moved to safety.

Everyone in and around the Dallas Love Field terminal was moved to a basement beneath the terminal after the lights went out and lemon-size hail, high winds and radar signatures of a possible tornado threatened the airport about 9 p.m. Tuesday, spokesman Jose Torres said.

No tornadoes were spotted, he said, and flights began taking off again later in the night.

BRIEFLY Eudora officer sent to Joplin to help out Eric Garcia, a Eudora police officer, arrived Tuesday morning in Joplin, Mo., to assist law enforcement and emergency management personnel dealing with the aftermath of a tornado that destroyed much of the city Sunday.

The police department originally planned to send an officer to assist with tornado recovery in Reading in Lyon County, where a tornado struck on Saturday. But Sgt. Tom Willis, a police spokesman, said Joplin had a major need for law enforcement officers. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said Tuesday morning that the death toll was 117, making it the nation’s single

deadliest twister in 60 years.

Willis said it’s possible the department would send help to Reading later.

Two Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical division chiefs, Bill Stark and Sean Coffey, deployed to Reading on Monday as part of a regional emergency management incident team.

Habitat for Humanity seeks items for victims Lawrence Habitat for Humanity is taking donations of items needed by Habitat homeowners in Joplin, Mo., which was struck by a deadly tornado on Sunday.

It’s not clear yet how many Habitat homes were damaged.

The local habitat will collect

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● In a parting shot by one of the nation’s longestserving Pentagon chiefs, Robert Gates on Tuesday warned that shrinking defense budgets will mean a smaller military and a diminished American role in the world.

Gates, a self-described “old Cold Warrior” who will retire next month, said that barring a catastrophic world conflict or a new threat to the very existence of the U.S., there will be no foreseeable return to the booming Pentagon budgets of the past decade.

“The money and the political support simply aren’t there,” he said.

This means the Obama administration and Congress must now decide how much military power the U.S. should give up, how that fits U.S. goals for maintaining global influence, and how to pay for it, Gates said.

Sagging market creates generation of renters

By Derek Kravitz Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — A growing number of Americans can’t afford a home or don’t want to own one, a trend that’s spawning a generation of renters and a rise in apartment construction.

Many of the new renters are former owners who lost homes to foreclosure or bankruptcy. For others who could afford one, a home now feels too costly, too risky or unlikely to appreciate enough to make it a worthwhile investment.

The proportion of U.S. households that own homes is at its lowest point since 1998. When the housing bubble burst four years ago, 31.6 percent of households were renters. Now, it’s at 33.6 percent and rising. Since the housing meltdown, nearly 3 million households have become renters. At least 3 million more are expected by 2015, according to census data analyzed by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies and The Associated Press.

All told, nearly 38 million households are renters.

Among the signs of a rising rental market: ● The pace of apartment construction has surged 115 percent from its October 2009 low. It’s still well below a healthy level. But permits for apartments, a gauge of future construction, hit a two-year peak in March. By contrast, permits for singlefamily home are on pace for their lowest annual level on records dating to 1960.

● The number of completed apartments averaged about 250,000 a year before the boom. They fell to 54,000 last year and will probably number around the same this year. But then the number will likely double to about 100,000 in 2012 and hit 250,000 by 2013 or 2014, according to the CoStar Group, a research firm. The lag is due to the time it takes for an apartment building to be completed: an average of 14 months. ● Demand is driving up rents. The median price of advertised rents rose 4.1 percent between the end of 2009 and the end of 2010, census data shows. Few expect the higher prices to stem the flood of renters, though. One reason: Younger adults don’t value homeownership as earlier generations did and many prefer to rent, studies show. ● Rental housing is giving builders more work just as construction of single-family homes has dried up. Still, that economic lift won’t make up for all the single-family houses not being built. Apartments account for only about one-fourth of homes. And renters are outspent roughly 2-to-1 by homeowners, who pay for items from lawn care to remodeling and help drive the economy.

Before the housing bust, mortgage rates were so low it was often cheaper to buy than rent. That was true a decade ago in more than half the 54 biggest metro areas, according to Moody’s Analytics.

Today, by contrast, it’s cheaper to rent in about 72 percent of metro areas.

Ongoing issues Relocating the local homeless shelter isn’t a cure-all for moving homeless people and panhandlers out of downtown.

I

t would be nice to believe that moving the Lawrence Community Shelter will bring an end to concerns about the presence of homeless people and panhandlers in the downtown area.

Unfortunately, as two city commissioners pointed out last week, that almost certainly won’t be the case.

Shelter officials deserve support in their ongoing efforts to move the shelter to a new location. However, the more structured job training program they envision at their new facility probably won’t suit a certain segment of the homeless population that uses the current shelter primarily as a place to drop in, take a shower or sleep.

What will those people do? That’s the apt question being asked by Hugh Carter, who recently joined the Lawrence City Commission.

Shelter Director Loring Henderson confirms that the new facility won’t serve all the homeless population that currently uses the downtown shelter. A number of people will continue to be downtown taking advantage of meal sites and other services, he said. For that reason, he thinks the city will continue to need a drop-in center, although not necessarily one run by the Lawrence Community Shelter.

So, even though moving the shelter out of downtown is a good move, Carter is right to draw attention to the fact that not all homeless people will relocate to the new facility.

Another tough issue is the continuing presence of downtown panhandlers. Mayor Aron Cromwell said last week he is disappointed that earlier discussions about this problem haven’t resulted in more action.

Those discussions focused on trying to direct both panhandlers and those who want to help them to social service agencies that provide such help. People sitting on the sidewalks with signs asking for money don’t qualify as aggressive panhandlers but they also don’t contribute to the ambiance of downtown Lawrence. Many passersby want to help, but it’s hard to understand each individual’s situation or whether the money they collect will be put to good use.

City officials have considered posting signs to discourage donations to panhandlers as well as providing ways for people to contribute to social services that help the homeless. For whatever reason, none of those efforts has gotten off the ground.

The city continues to struggle with the best ways to deal with panhandling and services for the homeless. Although some local residents may be holding out hope that both of those problems will be solved by moving the Lawrence Community Shelter, it’s good that city commissioners are taking a more realistic view.

OLD HOME TOWN

U.S. military still key to Afghan stability KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN — Flying out of this city in a Blackhawk helicopter, one passes over a large walled compound that contains a traditional two-story Afghan house built around a courtyard, in which sits a small white-domed mosque.

This once was the home base of the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, from which he ruled most of the country. Now called Camp Gecko, and crammed with many added buildings, it is a base for U.S. special forces and — as any Kandahari will tell you — the CIA. No question many things have changed here. Much of Kandahar city and surrounding province were under Taliban control a year ago, but key districts have been cleared by a surge of U.S. and Afghan forces during the last eight months.

However, Kandahar is still hotly contested; the Taliban recognize its symbolic value and launched a flashy coordinated attack on key municipal buildings last week. “Kandahar city is a war zone right in the middle of a proxy war between radical Islam ... and the West,” one U.S. officer rightly told me.

So, in the wake of Osama bin Laden’s death, when Washington is debating how fast U.S. troops can hand off responsibility to Afghan forces, I wanted to see how much progress had been made in the province.

View from above Flying offers a dramatic view of Kandahar, a low, dusty town of 800,000 with long rutted boulevards lined with open-air markets and small shops. The city is surrounded by rocky outcroppings in the middle of a desert plain. Just beyond the city’s edge lies the stunning green belt of the Arghandab district, through which run canals built by U.S. engineers in the 1950s and 1960s that turned desert into fertile land.

The U.S. strategy has been to set up small outposts throughout Arghandab, manned by special-

based. Khakrez is poor but has the potential, in times of peace, to prof it from the presence of Afghanistan’s third most popular religious shrine. The Taliban, which disdains such shrines, has attacked this one many times.

officials be protected from assassination? Perhaps, but it will take more time and U.S. training for Afghan security forces.”

forces teams that help create units of Afghan Local Police (ALP), a local protection force that reports to and supplements the Afghan National Police (ANP).

Many doubt that the ALP is the crucial element the military claims. But if properly controlled by the district police chief so that it doesn’t turn into a predatory militia, the ALP can provide jobs (at $120 a month) and assist the police.

Case study: Taben is a fly speck mud-brick village of 500 souls, with a bazaar of five shops, that had been Taliban-controlled until special forces pushed them out. Mosques were asked to choose leaders who assembled a shura that elected Mohammed Issak as their malik, or leader.

Issak, a skinny former cop, along with his village committee, helped the special forces vet ALP members. In return, the village got U.S. military help to fund development projects.

Issak knows the risk of Taliban assassination is high. As the new spring fighting season starts, he tells me, “I’m ready to make the sacrifice.”

Next stop, Khakrez district, in the north of Kandahar province, where special forces are also

Important appointees In Khakrez, the key was to find a better district governor and chief of police. These officials are appointed by Kabul, and too often prey upon locals, pushing them toward the Taliban. Balancing tribal interests when making these picks is also important.

In this case, with U.S. nudging, the appointees appear to be effective. District chief Kaydum Khan stood in front of a photo of previous governors and police chiefs killed by the Taliban — including his brother, two years ago. “I’ll never quit,” he says.

As we sit down on cushions to a meal of potatoes, lentils, okra, and flat bread, he says of his brother, “When he was killed we only had 20 soldiers to protect the district center and we got attacked by hundreds of Taliban.

“The only reason things are better now is that we have U.S. forces, the Afghan National Army (ANA), and the Afghan National Police, and good coordination between all of us. Before, the coordination was very limited.”

Khan says it is important for him to have a district police chief who knows the area. (Afghan police are national, and often the chief appointed by Kabul is from elsewhere.)

He has two further messages: First, Afghanistan will only be safe when America forces Pakistan to stop sheltering the Taliban, who have a safe haven just across the border from Kandahar. Second, “If the Americans leave, the Pakistani government will push the Taliban into this country to fight. We are scared there will be a lot of killing and death.”

Next, a meeting with the Arghandab governor, Haji Shah Mohammed, a rotund, bearded,

turbaned off icial who says, “Eight months ago everyone knew the Taliban was everywhere here. Since then a lot of ANP, ANA, and coalition support has helped a lot.” Now, he says, the villagers have less fear of intimidation, and are able to travel again on roads that have been freed from Taliban control.

Still, the governor says that he and his family regularly get threats, and the Afghan central government is “so weak” that they can’t support the ANA and ANP. “If coalition forces leave,” he says, “a lot of people will be killed.”

Progress has occurred The takeaway is this: Progress has indeed been made in clearing Taliban forces out of Kandahar province, progress heavily dependent on U.S. military support for the Afghan army and police. But progress also depends on the all-too-rare appointment of strong district officials, who are popular with local villagers and tribes.

The local populations seem to have little love for the Taliban, but can’t yet stand up to it without U.S. help, especially when Pakistan provides safe havens to which the Taliban can retreat.

Can these gains be solidified?

Can good officials be protected from assassination? Perhaps, but it will take more time and U.S. training for Afghan security forces. The transition from NATO to Afghan security control will run from 2011 to the end of 2014. Even if things don’t regress, Kandahar clearly will not be ready until the far end.

In the meantime, other developments — possibly a new U.S. policy toward Pakistan or a decision by the Taliban, under pressure, to talk — might speed the day when Afghans can handle more of their own security.

No guarantees here, but some basis for hope.

Obama denies reality in Israel With friends like President Obama, who needs enemies? If you’re Israel, you already have quite enough of those.

On May 14, 2011, the State of Israel observed the 63rd anniversary of its independence. But if the proposals made by President Obama in his State Department speech are implemented, that observance could be its last.

It is difficult to say if the president is self-deluded, if he drinks State Department Arabist Kool-

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 25, 1911: “The government car, completely equipped for mine rescue work, which is YEARS in Lawrence today is not purely a AGO demonstration car. It is designed for IN 1911 practical service and should a mine accident occur in this territory the car would be ordered directly to the scene. It is equipped with every device for successful rescue work and its Pullman berths make very comfortable hospital cots. The car, which is one of six maintained by the government, is under the supervision of the department of mines, a new federal bureau established less than a year ago. It is equipped with all imaginable devices for conducting rescue work after mine disasters. There are safety lamps, first aids, oxygen helmets, fire extinguishers and gas repelling apparatus.”

“

The president’s peace formulation is as likely to succeed as Harold Camping’s doomsday prophecy.”

Aid or if he’s just a fool. It doesn’t matter. The results are the same.

Why does anyone continue to believe that the unsuccessful “Land for Peace” formula can magically persuade Arab states and terrorist groups to lay down their arms and change their minds about a goal they have taught in their schools, preached in their mosques and reinforced in their media since 1948?

The president’s peace formulation is as likely to succeed as Harold Camping’s doomsday prophecy.

This is the reality, expressed by Hamas’ former minister of “culture,” Atallah Abu Al-Subh, and broadcast on Al-Aqsa TV: “The Jews are the most despicable and contemptible nation to crawl upon the face of the earth.” Would 1967 borders change his mind?

Here’s another excerpt from AlSubh’s April 8 sermon: “Whoever is killed by a Jew receives the reward of two martyrs, because the very thing that the Jews did to the prophets was done to him.”

That would be 144 virgins and

double the fig ration.

He continued: “Allah will kill the Jews in the hell of the world to come, just like they killed the believers in the hell of this world.” And “The Jews kill anyone who believes in Allah. They do not want to see any peace whatsoever on Earth.”

This kind of “peace” means no Jews with all Israel occupied and dominated by legions of Muslims who will impose Sharia law to the detriment of women and anyone who believes in a different God and different laws and rules.

The apologists for such rhetoric, which is legion, turn blind eyes and deaf ears to the intent and objectives of Hamas, which is increasingly considered mainstream in the Arab world. Arab and Palestinian diplomats say one thing for Western consumption and the opposite when communicating with their own.

In his bold rebuke of President Obama in the Oval Office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a history lesson. Ignorance of history threatens not only Israel, but also American interests and ultimately America itself. That’s because Arab intentions to dominate do not end in the Middle East. “Peace based on illusions,” said Netanyahu, “will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle East reality.”

Once again, the prime minister noted that Israel’s 1967 borders would be indefensible. All of the talk by this and previous adminis-

trations of “unshakable” support for Israel is meaningless if enemy tanks, missiles and especially nuclear weapons are used against this tiny nation. What would America do? Bomb Iran? Invade Egypt? Strafe Syria? The State Department would likely wring its hands and blame Israel for its own destruction, saying it should have compromised sooner.

The ludicrously named “Arab Spring” is more like an Arab winter that will never end as long as radical Islam is the established religion.

Very little good is likely to come out of the uprisings from Egypt to Syria and beyond because there is no foundation in the region for political pluralism, religious tolerance and equality for women. Such things are not part of their political and religious DNA. So why is the U.S. sending billions more in borrowed money to Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood candidate might win the upcoming election?

It is only when the State Department and the White House begin to understand reality that Israel’s — and America’s — interests will be served.

The public seems to understand that better than politicians and diplomats. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 78 percent of U.S. voters believe peace between Israel and the Arab world is unlikely. Thousands of years of history and common sense confirm this.

PUBLIC FORUM

Revenue limits To the editor: Lawrence taxpayers struggle weekly with the increased costs of fuel and groceries, adjusting their budgets to meet the constant changes.

The city chooses a different path. Instead of making budgetary adjustments to meet “basic” services requests, its answer is to raise more revenue. As our citizens become more conscientious in conserving water and energy, the city’s response is to raise tax rates and fees. We put off or eliminate items in our budgets to care for our “basics.”

The city has to acknowledge that property values have fallen significantly and are not likely to rebound soon. Only recently has Lawrence come to accept the loss of significant sales tax revenue to other areas and that it lags woefully behind other communities in wages. In order to accommodate the legitimate needs of the “basic” services essential to Lawrence, the city needs to reduce expenditures elsewhere and not follow the KU example of deferring maintenance and asking for the money later or just raising tuition again.

The city should require each and every line item request for funding be justified and supported by evidence of need.

The truth is that this economy has not made great strides forward and with the current disasters, natural and man-made, is not likely to soon. The city should learn to live within its means like the rest of us. Raising taxes and fees to keep things going as “normal” is the wrong answer.

Television theft leads to fatal chase ANDOVER — A man who reportedly stole a flat screen television from an Andover store died when the truck he was in crashed during a police chase.

Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet said the chase began after police tried to stop a pickup driven by two men who were seen stealing the television Tuesday morning at the Andover Dillon’s Store.

Herzet said the driver of the pickup eventually drove off a 30-foot embankment. The truck landed upside down on its roof in a creek.

Radio station KFDI reported that one of the men crawled out of the truck and was arrested. The other man died at the scene. No names were released Tuesday.

Recruiting hot topic for KU coach Self

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self, who for eight years has been an active member of the Lawrence community, meets his fair share of townspeople almost every day.

Many aren’t shy about asking him about a part of his job that doesn’t involve coaching.

That’d be recruiting.

“I’d say it’s a good topic of conversation. Recruiting is like a sport in itself,” Self said Tuesday.

“Yesterday, probably three or four people at least asked me, ‘Hey what’s the latest?’ Or this or that. All that does is tell me people around here care.”

Fans currently want to know the status of No. 10-rated prospect DeAndre Daniels, who let last Wednesday’s final day of the signing I’d say it’s period pass without choos- a good ing KU, Texas topic of or Oregon.

Truth be conversation. known, nobody Recruiting is knows when like a sport in the 6-8 forward itself.” from IMG Academies in — KU men’s basketBradenton, Fla., will select ball coach Bill Self a school.

“In a perfect world, you don’t want to have to sign kids late,” said Self, who did not discuss Daniels specifically Tuesday in accordance with NCAA rules.

“But let’s just call it like it is.

We felt like we were going to get Ben McLemore (as far back as) last year.”

Rivals.com’s No. 34-rated player signed with KU in April after Ben finally convinced his mom, a Missouri fan, that KU was the place to be. KU fans may have sweated that one out, the coaches not so much.

“The steal of the group, Naadir (Tharpe, No. 92 rated player from Worcester, Mass.) jumped on board early (signing in November),” Self said of the point guard.

“With the (Morris) twins, although we thought we could possibly lose two, we thought the percentage play was we’d lose one. Their both leaving (for NBA) kind of left us scrambling a little bit. Fortunately we were able to sign a couple good kids late (forwards Braeden Anderson, Jamari Traylor) that we wouldn’t have recruited early because we wouldn’t have known of their availability.”

So KU’s class of 2011 currently stands at four and could grow to five.

“We hope to still get one more.

LAWRENCE HIGH STARTING PITCHERS ALEX LAUGHLIN, LEFT, AND GARRETT CLEAVINGER ARE GEARED UP for the state tournament this Friday against Shawnee Mission West at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Co-aces Laughlin, Cleavinger pitch Lions to state

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Many consider pitching, pitching and pitching the three most important aspects to winning baseball and location, location and location as the three keys to pitching.

Junior left-hander Garrett Cleavinger, Lawrence High’s coace, had no reason to doubt that after painting the Lions into this weekend’s Class 6A state tournament at Hoglund Ballpark with a two-walk, 10-strikeout performance.

“First inning, I knew we were going to have a good day,” Cleavinger said of last Wednesday’s 2-1 Lions road victory against Manhattan. “I knew my command was good, they weren’t hitting it and as long as we could scratch together a couple of runs, I knew we were going to win.”

LHS won despite Manhattan senior Thomas Olson striking out 13 and walking two.

Cleavinger has added a good 4 mph to his fastball since last season, but how hard he throws isn’t as important as where he puts it.

“I can hit my spots a lot better,” he said. “When we played Manhattan, I felt like I could throw it anywhere. I felt good.”

Co-ace Alex Laughlin, a senior right-hander, will make the start Friday for No. 6 seed LHS against third-seeded Shawnee Mission West at 6:30 p.m. Cleavinger sounds just as confident in his teammate as in himself.

“He competes really well,” Cleavinger said. “Nothing stops him. He always throws strikes and does what he needs to do.”

Laughlin, who plans to continue his pitching career at Johnson County Community College, has 20 walks and 60 strikeouts in 49-2⁄3 innings. On the quiet side, he sounds eager to inspire a lot of noise in the stands.

“It’s going to be a lot more excit-

ing, a lot more people there, just a bigger stage,” Laughlin said. “I’m really excited for it.”

Chief rival Free State High pinned LHS (13-9) with two of its losses in games played in front of big crowds, the second in Hoglund Ballpark.

“They learned from the Free State series — where you have a ton of people in the stands, you’re playing a rival, it’s a big game — that you can’t come out and let your emotions get the most of you because that’s kind of what they did,” pitching coach Brandon Johnson said. “They walked people, left the ball up in the zone. I think the Free State thing, even though it’s bad that we lost two games, they learned from that. I think they’re going to do a lot better this go-around with the big

crowd in a big game, having been through it. They weathered it.

They were disappointed after Free State, which is why they came out last week in Manhattan and did what they did.”

If LHS wins Friday, Cleavinger is slated to pitch Saturday in the semifinal and Jake Johnson is expected to get the start if the Lions play for the state title, also Saturday.

Finesse lefty Cameron Solko, a junior, and freshman right-hander Bryce Montes De Oca will be ready to contribute from the bullpen.

“I think we’re going to have a very good showing from our pitching staff this weekend,” Brandon Johnson said. “Last week in Manhattan was really a product of what we’ve worked really hard on and that’s throwing strikes and being severely competitive on each pitch.”

LHS head coach Brad Stoll said, “I firmly believe both Alex and Garrett will both pitch in Division I.” Cleavinger said he received a cong ratulatory email from Please see BASEBALL, page 3B

LHS triple jumpers full of surprises

As they ready for their turn down the runway, it’s easy for a triple jumper to stand out.

They wait alone for a few moments before sprinting to the first block, where they make their first of three explosive strides before crashing into the sand after the third.

Yet, for as much a front-andcenter event as the triple jump can be, Lawrence High leapers Austin Flory and Steven Hill, by all accounts, came out of nowhere.

Incoming QB’s rehab ‘ahead of schedule’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshmanto-be Michael Cummings has a few classes to finish, an enormous KU playbook to scour and a couple more weeks of fun with friends in front of him before he reports to Lawrence in June.

But, for some reason, all Cummings can focus on is his graduation speech and the huge batch of nerves that come with it.

Sunday, Cummings, a 6-foot, 196-pound, dual-threat quarterback from Killeen, Texas, will join one of his high school teammates and the school’s valedictorian in standing in front of the

entire school and addressing the senior class. His message?

“Really, just let God lead your life and use all the experiences we learned in high school and let it guide you throughout the rest of your life,” he said.

Cummings has done plenty of that in the last several months.

A knee injury stole the end of his high school career from him and the only way for the dynamic QB to make sense of it all was through faith. After leading his team to a 7-0 start, Cummings tore his meniscus in the eighth game and the wheels fell off.

Busch cited for 128 mph ... in 45 mph zone STATESVILLE , N.C. (AP) — NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was clocked by a North Carolina sheriff’s deputy going 128 mph in a 45 mph zone and was cited for careless and reckless driving and speeding, a law enforcement spokesman said Tuesday.

Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Darren Campbell said a deputy stopped Busch’s 2012 yellow Lexus sports car between Troutman and Mooresville, where the 26-year-old driver lives. It’s about 30 miles north of Charlotte.

Campbell said Busch was cited and released upon a written promise to appear in court.

In a statement issued late Tuesday, Busch acknowledged what happened.

“I was test-driving a new sports car and I got carried away,” Busch said. “I went beyond the speed I should have been going on a public road.

I apologize to the public, my fans, sponsors, and Busch race teams for my lack of judgment.”

Busch, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, accepted responsibility

and said it would never happen again.

NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said Busch would be allowed to race this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He’s coming off a second-place finish in Saturday night’s All-Star race, and goes into the Coca-Cola 600 ranked third in the Sprint Cup Series standings.

“This is a matter that Kyle will have to handle with the authorities in Iredell County,” Tharp said.

“Based on what we know right now, this would not impact his status as a NASCAR driver.”

In 2006, Busch pleaded guilty to

FREE STATE HIGH

improper driving and was fined $150 after he was ticketed in suburban Richmond, Va., on a reckless driving charge when he pulled out of a gas station and into a fast-food restaurant. Busch said at the time he “chirped” his tires but didn’t exceed 10 mph.

Under a misdemeanor reckless driving charge he originally faced, Busch could have received up to one year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a driver’s license suspension.

Last month, Busch was placed on probation through June 15 after he and Kevin Harvick confronted each other in the pits after a race at Darlington Raceway.

Tiger might be done with comebacks

By Phil Sheridan The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — None of the top 11 golfers in the world could have outdrawn No. 12, Mr. Eldrick Woods, for this peculiar news conference Tuesday morning at Aronimink Golf Course.

It was peculiar because an event designed to promote the AT&T National here turned quickly into a Q&A session about Woods’ health and the ramifications for next month’s U.S. Open. There was one question about Aronimink’s fitness for hosting a major tournament and one about the charitable foundation that benefits from the National.

Everything else was about Woods’ status, his state of mind, and his ability to rebound and play golf again.

“It is kind of about golf,” Woods said of the interrogation about his injured left leg.

“When can I get back in there and play again?”

Tiger still looks and sounds like Tiger, which may be part of his problem as he struggles to play golf again like Tiger. The face has barely changed since Woods was winning his first major title at age 21. You look at him, and you can’t imagine why his game hasn’t been the same for nearly two years now.

Listen to him, though, and the mystery evaporates. The boyish face is the same, but the body is falling to pieces. Woods has been wearing a special boot to ease pressure on his left Achilles tendon, walking on crutches to take weight off his balky left knee. Combined, the measures lessen the pain in his back.

“You play through these things,” Woods said. “There’s a difference between being in pain and being injured. Those are two totally different things. You can handle pain, but being injured is a totally different deal.”

Well, yes and no. Pain is the body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Ignoring that message can lead to an injury serious enough to shut the body down.

The question facing Woods is whether there is still time to return to an elite level of play, or whether he pushed too hard for too long.

Listen to Woods and it sinks in. He isn’t simply in a postscandal slump from which he could break out any time and return to his dominant form. He is in sharp physical decline and likely to be battling these chronic problems for the rest of his career.

“As you get older, you have to do things differently,” Woods said. “Your body doesn’t allow you to do these things. You have to be smart. ... I used to run four to six miles before I played. I don’t do that anymore.”

It was sobering to hear Woods talk about himself, and his game, as if he were in the twilight of his career — the Tiger in Winter, fending off younger challengers with his wits and experience.

“I can’t hit the ball, in relative terms, as far as I used to compared to other Tour players,” Woods said. “There are guys who hit it much farther than I do. It’s a different ball game. Some guys hit wedges from 150 (yards) in. When I came on the Tour, everyone used an 8-iron from 150 in. But you still have to be able to score.”

Woods went on to talk about guys such as Jay Haas and Raymond Floyd, who had late-career success by playing a smarter game.

Woods said pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 major championships remains “one of the things that drives me in this game.”

“I still have plenty of time,” Woods said.

Time, yes. Game? Health? Those interwoven questions will frame the rest of his career.

He may be the No. 12 ranked golfer in the world, but until further notice, he is still Tiger Woods.

COMMENTARY

Family of beaten Giants fan files lawsuit LOS ANGELES — The family of a San Francisco Giants fan who was brutally beaten at Dodger Stadium in March sued the team and its troubled owner Frank McCourt on Tuesday, claiming security cutbacks were partially to blame for the attack.

The suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Bryan Stow contends the Dodgers were negligent by not providing more security and not having adequate lighting in the parking lot where the attack occurred on opening day.

Combined, both elements “provided a perfect opportunity to commit a variety of crimes,” the lawsuit alleged. “Unfortunately, for Bryan Stow, this is exactly what happened.” The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. Stow, 42, remains in critical but stable condition under heavy sedation to prevent seizures caused by the traumatic brain injury he suffered in the March 31 attack.

Police arrested Giovanni Ramirez, 31, over the weekend, but charges have not yet been filed against him.

Court papers show a judge issued a summary judgment against McNeil, ex-teammate Mike Blanc and another person on March 27 for $12,385 after they failed to appear in court.

Chiefs gathering aid for tornado victims

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

K A N S A S C ITY , M O . — Hundreds of cars lined up all day Tuesday in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot as the Kansas City Chiefs filled two semitrailer trucks with bottled water for tornado victims in Kansas and Missouri.

Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee said the team also collected “a significant amount of financial donations” for the

victims in Reading, Kan., and Joplin, Mo. The Chiefs are donating $35,000 to the relief effort.

While Chiefs cheerleaders danced and went through their routines, the team collected bottled water from both individuals and Kansas City-area businesses in the day-long effort. In total, they estimated people brought about 3,000 cases to the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot in the day-long effort.

“The response was incredible,” Gee said. “One man brought in four pallets of water himself. A lot of people also wanted to make financial donations.”

Told by the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency that additional supplies were also needed, the Chiefs also planned to collect work gloves, heavy-duty construction trash bags, flashlights and batteries of all sizes today.

Owner Clark Hunt and gen-

Royals, Soria blow lead B A L T I M O R E ( AP ) — Joakim Soria is desperately trying to regain the form he displayed last season, when the righthander registered 43 saves in 46 tries and made the All-Star team.

Until he improves, the Kansas City Royals must realize that no lead is safe.

Working with a one-run cushion in the ninth inning, Soria first allowed the Baltimore Orioles to pull even, then gave up a two-run walkoff homer to Adam Jones in a 5-3 loss Tuesday night.

It was the third blown save for Soria — matching his total from all last season.

“He’s working every day, refining his mechanics. He’s

just struggling right now,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It’s some command. I don’t know if it’s mechanics, even though he’s working on his mechanics every day early.

“It’s just location more than anything else. He’s normally a guy whose location is pinpoint, but it’s been off a little bit. He’ll get it going again.”

Baltimore trailed, 3-2, entering the ninth. After Soria (3-1) retired the first batter, J.J. Hardy doubled off the glove of third baseman Wilson Betemit. Pinch-hitter Felix Pie then grounded a double inside third base to tie it.

Soria rebounded to strike out Robert Andino before Jones homered on an 0-2 pitch.

“That was up and he hit it good,” Soria said of his illfated fastball.

Soria was at a loss to explain his inconsistency.

“Sometimes you have a bad season and you try to figure out what is going on,” he said.

“I just go over there, I feel good. I am working hard. It’s just baseball. Baseball is giving me nothing right now.”

Alfredo Simon (1-0) worked a perfect ninth in his season debut. He missed the start of the year after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in his native Dominican Republic; no trial date has been set.

It was the eighth loss in 10 games for Kansas City.

Recruiting

have not got some guys we thought we were in great shape with. The thing about it, other people work hard, too.

That’s recruiting.

“The tendency is with recruiting, when you don’t get a guy, people say somebody cheated or ‘we didn’t want ’em anymore.’ That hasn’t been the case. These respective kids have picked different schools for different reasons.

We certainly respect that.

We’re not crazy about it, but we respect it. It’s just part of the business.”

And one other thing about recruiting ...

“If you set your goals pretty high, you probably will be told ‘no’ more than ‘yes,’” Self said, adding that he and his staff will continue to target the best high school players in the country.

He said he has a lot to sell at tradition-rich KU, a place he’s piled up 237 wins against 46 losses (.837) in eight campaigns.

“We love it here. Certainly we’ve doubled more than anywhere else we’ve been,” said Self, who coached three years at Illinois, three at Tulsa and four at Oral Roberts. “Where do you go from Kansas? It’s such a good job. To me this is

as good as it gets in college basketball.”

If he gets sick of recruiting — and Self said Tuesday he still enjoys most parts of recruiting — there’s always the NBA. “I don’t know,” Self said, asked if he thinks he’ll ever coach in the pros. “I wouldn’t think so, but I learned through past experiences never to say never. I’m not interested in that right now at all. I’m a college guy. I think my job at Kansas is better than some of the jobs in the NBA. I love it here. I can’t envision me being anywhere else right now. I am not interested in any other job. There’s not many places like this.”

Self — he said he really likes new athletic director Sheahon Zenger — ”I think he’s going to be great” — right now is focusing on adding another piece in recruiting then try for league title No. 8 in a row.

“I am real excited about the challenge of next year, trying to figure out a way to lose seven guys and not take a step backward at all. That’s my challenge right now that I’m going to enjoy,” he said.

porting each other,” Hood said. “Obviously it helps to train with someone who’s almost as good as you, because it pushes them every day. You always want to be a little better because you don’t want to lose your teammate.”

Added Hill: “I’m following in Flory’s footsteps. I’m always trying to beat him.”

What may seem like a quick rise for Flory and Hill has been propelled by a relentless desire to improve.

“That’s really the secret to their success,” Dye said.

“They work their butts off.”

It’s hasn’t been hard work alone. As Hood put it, you can be as fast as you want, and jump higher than anyone, but the triple jump is all technique.

For all things technique related, Hood differs to and praises Dye, who ran track at Coffeyville Community College and briefly competed in the triple jump as a sophomore in high school.

“It’s a little more fun to watch them do it,” Dye said with a laugh. “They’re much better.”

Like in the long jump, natural speed and leaping ability are must haves. But there’s only one powerful leap required in the long jump. In the triple jump, each of the three phases shares equal importance.

If the first jump — the hop — is too high, it’s difficult to transfer forward momentum into the next two. In the second phase — the bound — it’s important to keep the knee high to continue on, and not roll over the lead leg too early heading into the final leap into the sand.

“All three just have to be perfect, start to finish, to have a really big, really good jump,” Dye said.

“It’s a lot more technical than it seems,” Dye added. “It looks like a hop, skip and a jump, but a lot more goes into it.”

And that’s without even mentioning good balance, timing, and strong knees, which swell up anyway from the strain, among other important aspects of the event.

“It’s kind of like layups (in

our class up there as a big success,” Self said. “It’s just taken a long time to do so.”

With KU losing much-publicized recruiting battles for the likes of Harrison Barnes, Josiah Turner, Michael Snaer, Terrence Jones, Daniel Orton, LeBryan Nash and Trevor Lacey the last two years, there’s been a perception KU has struggled some in recruiting.

Self, who has directed KU to seven straight conference titles as well as the 2008 national title, does not necessarily agree.

After all, last year he signed the country’s No. 1 recruit in Josh Selby, he has a budding star in the flashy McLemore and still might land Daniels.

“We’ve gotten our fair share of guys, no question, but it’s fair to say we missed out on a couple guys early this year and a couple guys last year. So did Duke, Michigan State, Connecticut, Texas. That’s the way it is for everybody,” Self said.

“Everybody misses. We

a stellar performance at state last year.

“He’s sitting seeded (13th) at state, but he hits a monster jump (Flory’s then-personal best 43 feet) to put him into seventh place,” Hood said.

A workout-laden offseason and a switch to jumping off of his right foot has Hill, a junior in his second year competing in the triple jump, among Lawrence’s top individual competitors.

“Every meet, he just got better,” Hood said. “Every meet. He went from 39 (feet) to 40, to 41, to 42.”

The differences between Flory and Hill, Hood suggested, are part of what makes them such a unique and fun pair to be around.

Hood likened the talkative, engaging Hill to an “energizer bunny,” while calling the more reserved, laid-back Flory a “California kid.”

“They’re really good rooting for each other and sup-

Basketball Boogie, set for Saturday, June 4, at College Basketball Experience next to Sprint Center.

Tickets remain and are available at basketballboogie.org.

Tickets should be on sale until the day before the party.

“It’s going to be the party of the summer,” said Self, who will wear disco attire, as will his wife, Cindy. KU’s players also will attend with rumors of a special dance number with the players taking place.

“It’ll be cool. There will be some giveaways, unbelievable auction items. It goes toward a good cause (his Assists Foundation to benefit youths in the area),” Self said.

“A lot of money has been going toward scholarships. I believe close to 50 different youth initiative organizations we’ve been given grants to. To benefit youth is our goal. If we benefit youth, obviously adults will benefit as well.”

Nearly 1,000 fans attended last year’s Boogie.

“It’s time to break out the polyester,” Self said with a smile. “It’s going to be a great, great time. You don’t even have to be a KU fan to attend. ● Everybody’s going to have a Boogie fever: Self is look- great time at the party of the ing forward to his third Bill’s summer.”

basketball),” Hill said, when asked which other sports have helped him in the triple jump.

“Jumping off one foot.”

“For me it’s football,” said Flory, who also runs on the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams.

“Squats in the weight room have really helped strengthen my legs.”

After a strong season — most recently highlighted by Flory’s first-place finish (4305.25) and Hill’s third-place finish (42-03.25) at regionals at Free State High last weekend — the once unlikely tandem now aims for a strong showing at the track and field state championships.

State begins at 9 a.m. Friday at Wichita State University’s Cessna Stadium, though Flory and Hill will wait until 11:30 a.m. Saturday to compete, when they’ll each have three jumps to make the finals.

Flory, seeded eighth, hopes for a top three finish, while Hill, seeded 15th, is looking to reach 43 feet for the first time.

One thing’s for sure — they won’t be surprising anyone this time around.

KILLEEN (TEXAS) HIGH QUARTERBACK MICHAEL CUMMINGS THROWS against Killeen Shoemaker on Sept. 4, 2010, at Leo Buckley Stadium. Cummings will be a freshman at KU next season.

Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

bowing out in the first round of the state playoffs.

From there, Cummings was forced to watch from the sidelines as his friends and former teammates went through basketball and track season without him. So determined was Cummings to don a Killeen High uniform one more time, he attempted to join the baseball team despite not having played the sport for years. It didn’t work.

“The doctor at my school wouldn’t let me,” he said. “He didn’t clear me.”

From there, his focus shifted to rehab and KU and getting back onto the football field as soon as possible. Just as he did while playing quarterback, Cummings turned in eye-popping results during rehab.

“The doctor says I’m ahead of schedule,” Cummings said.

“When I went in for my threemonth check-up, he said I was where people usually are around six or seven months.”

Just hearing those words was comforting for Cummings. Actually feeling the progress was even better.

Each day since the surgery, Cummings has felt more confident in his knee. Though he’s aware there’s still more work to be done — he’s especially excited about getting to Lawrence to rehab with KU’s training staff — Cummings believes he’s made enough progress to be a legitimate contender for KU’s starting quarterback job this summer.

“It’s gonna take work,” said Cummings, who’s talked with KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long twice a week since signing in February.

“But I feel like there’s definitely a good chance for me to come in and compete for the starting spot or else I wouldn’t be coming at all.”

Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Kansas University pitching coach Ryan Graves after winning the regional championship.

Helping LHS to win a state title with his work on the Hoglund mound could intensify a mutual interest in the lefty remaining in Lawrence for college.

Some days, Cummings has done a little more work on the field than he thought possible.

“I have tested it out some even though I wasn’t supposed to,” he said. “I’ve been running for the last three months, but I wasn’t supposed to do any cutting or anything like that, but I have been. I had to.”

The reason? He wanted proof that he still could be the dual-threat QB who threw for more than 4,000 yards and rushed for nearly 2,000 more during his sophomore and junior seasons combined.

The cuts felt good. So did the running. In fact, he says he feels better today than he did on the first day of football practice last fall.

Cummings will report to KU on June 10, a day after his final appointment with doctors. When he arrives on campus, he’ll do whatever it takes to jump into the quarterback competition that includes returners Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham and fellowfreshman Brock Berglund.

Cummings has seen film of Webb and Mecham and he respects their abilities. He doesn’t know much about Berglund, but said he’s looking forward to battling with all three QBs. “Competition brings out the best in people,” Cummings said. “I knew it wasn’t gonna be a cakewalk because they already had previous quarterbacks. But to have another quarterback in my class makes it that much better.”

With just a few days remaining before Sunday’s big speech, Cummings’ focus keeps shifting back to his final act at Killeen High.

“I’m nervous,” he said. “I don’t want to forget the words. Football comes easy, but speaking in front of people is always nerve-racking.

You don’t want to mess up.”

“It’s nice to stay in town,” Cleavinger said of the state tournament being on KU’s campus. “I pitched there during the River City (Baseball Festival) in our opening game.

Great atmosphere. Stands are going to be packed. It’s going to be tight.”

Cleavinger realized he had used a phrase that didn’t bridge the generation gap and quickly clarified himself.

“It’s going to be cool,” he said.

BRIEFLY KU baseball players honored by Big 12 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kansas University senior baseball outfielder Jimmy Waters was named second-team all-Big 12, the league office announced Tuesday. Senior outfielder Casey Lytle and senior pitcher T.J. Walz were named honorable mention. Freshman second baseman Ka’iana Eldredge

was selected to the freshman all-conference squad.

Texas A&M sophomore infielder Tyler Naquin earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors, while Texas junior pitcher Taylor Jungmann was tapped the conference’s Pitcher of the Year. Oklahoma State junior Zach Johnson was the Newcomer of the Year and Texas outfielder Erich Weiss garnered Freshman of the Year honors.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Bruce rockets Reds past Phillies The Associated Press

Reds 6, Phillies 3 PHILADELPHIA — Jay Bruce hit a tiebreaking, three-run double in the ninth inning and Cincinnati beat Philadelphia on Tuesday night to snap a six-game losing streak.

The Reds had lost eight straight against NL East-leading Philadelphia, including a three-game sweep in last year’s division playoff series.

Bruce came in swinging a hot bat. He had four homers in the last five games and was tied for the NL lead with 12.

But he struck out three times and popped out in his first four at-bats before clearing the bases against Ryan Madson (2-1).

Logan Ondrusek (1-0) retired the only batter he faced to get the win. Francisco Cordero finished for his ninth save in 10 tries.

Rockies 12-2, Diamondbacks 4-5 DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez homered twice and the Rockies became the first team to decipher Josh Collmenter’s tomahawk-throwing style, rallying past Arizona in the first game of a doubleheader.

The Rockies lost pitcher Jorge De La Rosa in the opener to a torn elbow ligament.

Then, Colorado lost the nightcap when Joe Saunders (1-5) snapped a personal six-game losing streak.

Brewers 7, Nationals 6 M I L W A U K E E — Jonathan Lucroy hit a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning and Brandon Boggs collided into catcher Wilson Ramos to score the go-ahead run, rallying Milwaukee.

Milwaukee has won 12 of its last 15 overall and has its longest winning streak in the 11-year history of Miller Park at eight games, though this one certainly didn’t come easily.

Cardinals 3, Padres 2, 11 innings SAN DIEGO — Daniel Descalso singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the 11th inning and St. Louis held off San Diego, which had only two hits.

Descalso’s sharp one-hopper off the glove of diving second baseman Orlando Hudson — his third hit — scored Allen Craig, who drew a leadoff walk off Ernesto Frieri (12) and stole second.

Frieri struck out Skip Schumaker and rookie Tony Cruz, who had three hits in his big league debut.

FRENCH OPEN

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

X Wednesday, May 25, 2011

| 5B.

Nadal survives in first round PARIS (AP) — It’s newsworthy enough when anyone manages to win a set against Rafael Nadal at any stage of the French Open — let alone two sets in the first round.

So a buzz built at Roland Garros on Tuesday when unseeded American John Isner pulled ahead of fivetime champion Nadal by unfurling his 6-foot-9 frame to pound serves at upward of 140 mph, pushing up to the net time after time for volleys, and generally making the Spaniard uncomfortable for stretches.

“Quite clearly,” Nadal acknowledged later, “this is a match that I could have lost.”

In the end, he did not.

Stretched to five sets for the first time in 40 career French Open matches, Nadal came back to emerge with a 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-4 victory over Isner and reach the second round.

“Really, what it came down to is the way he played in the fourth and fifth sets,” Isner said. “I haven’t seen tennis like that, ever.”

NOTEBOOK Winning return PARIS — Five years after her last appearance at the French Open, and a few weeks after her latest injury layoff, Kim Clijsters made a winning return to Roland Garros.

The second-seeded Belgian, who twice lost in the final in Paris, said she had been looking forward to her first match at the tournament since losing in the 2006 semifinals.

“I remember that I played some matches on that Court Suzanne Lenglen. I remember that I didn’t really like it too much,” said Clijsters, who beat Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus, 6-2, 6-3, there Tuesday in the first round. “Now I was like, ‘Oh, great, I get to play there.”’

Ball return Dunlop, replaced by Babolat this year as the official ball manufacturer for the French Open, issued a statement Tuesday to point out that the companies’ products are different.

Some players have complained about the switch. French Tennis Federation spokesman Christophe Proust said this week that the Babolat balls are made “the exact same way” as their Dunlop predecessors.

“The nature of our composition formula ... mean that it is impossible for another manufacturer to replicate the finished product,” the Dunlop statement said.

Dunlop balls were used at other clay-court tournaments leading up to the French Open.

Lucky loser Ryan Harrison was all set to head back home to the United States, a loser in qualifying and a little lighter in the pocket.

Instead, the 19-year-old got to play in the French Open’s main draw and took a set off twotime runner-up Robin Soderling before losing, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-5, in the first round Tuesday.

“It’s a chance that you didn’t exactly deserve to have, but you still had a shot at it,” he said.

Instead of trying to get a wild card into the tournament via a U.S. Tennis Association playoff, Harrison chose to go through qualifying in Paris — and didn’t make it. But when a player withdraws from the tournament after the draw has been held, a loser in qualifying — known as a “lucky loser” — moves into the field.

A lottery determines an order in which lucky losers get called up to the main draw, and Harrison was sixth.

“I was in the trainer’s room all the time, asking if anyone was questionable. The people who were questionable actually played,” Harrison said. “I was kind of planning on leaving. I had already talked to my brother about picking me up at the airport tomorrow in Tampa.”

But when Benjamin Becker of Germany withdrew because of a left elbow injury, Harrison got a chance to offset $2,100 in fines he received for racket abuse, unsportsmanlike conduct and an audible obscenity during qualifying.

“That wasn’t a good moment,” he said.

— The Associated Press

It was the most riveting match of a day that featured reigning U.S. Open and Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters’ first appearance at the French Open since 2006, a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Anastasiya Yakimova. Also advancing were Maria Sharapova, Li Na, Andy Murray, Robin Soderling and Sam Querrey.

Two seeded women lost: No. 20 Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 champion, was eliminated, 76 (3), 0-6, 6-2, by Johanna Larsson of Sweden, while No. 22 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia was beaten, 6-7 (10), 6-3, 6-2, by Vania King of the United States. No. 11 Nicolas Almagro departed with a fiveset loss to Lukasz Kubot of Poland.

Nadal’s bid to tie Bjorn Borg’s record of six championships at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament nearly came to a too-abrupt-tobelieve halt.

Consider: ● Nadal entered the day 381 at the French Open, his only loss coming to two-time final-

ist Soderling in the fourth round in 2009. ● Isner’s career in Paris before Tuesday? One firstround exit and one trip to the third round, for a 2-2 record. ● Nadal is ranked No. 1 and owns nine Grand Slam titles. ● Isner is ranked 39th and never has been past the fourth at a major tournament. He’s best known to date for winning the longest match in tennis history, 70-68 in the fifth set at Wimbledon last year, and setting a record with 113 aces in that marathon. ● Until the first of Tuesday’s two tiebreakers, Nadal hadn’t lost a single set at the French Open since 2009. And he hadn’t lost a set in any of 12 previous first- or second-round matches in the tournament.

So all seemed rather hohum when Nadal was leading Isner by a set and a break at 42 in the second. But Isner broke back to 4-all when Nadal missed a forehand, and suddenly, a tight match ensued.

“That’s when I started to

sort of believe a little bit more,” Isner said, “and started to play with more confidence and strut around more out there.”

Even Nadal was a bit worried. So was Toni Nadal, Rafael’s coach and uncle, who would later say that from his perch in the stands he felt “very, very nervous, because losing in the first round is not too good for us.”

But his nephew steeled himself, and made zero — yes, that’s right, zero — unforced errors in the fourth set, while Isner made 12. Nadal broke Isner for a 2-1 edge in the fourth set, and called that “the turning point.”

Isner’s coach, Craig Boynton, agreed.

“Rafa getting up an early break in the fourth really helped his psyche,” Boynton said.

Nadal broke for a 2-1 lead in the fifth set, too, thanks in part to a cross-court backhand return winner, a forehand return winner, and a backhand return at the feet of the net-charging Isner.

UConn, Southern take hits in APR reports I N D I A N A P O L I S ( A P ) — The NCAA has put Connecticut on notice — improve in the classroom or face tougher penalties.

The Huskies men’s basketball team was one of six BCS teams sanctioned Tuesday for sub-par marks in the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Rates report. The Associated Press reported last week that UConn will lose two scholarships for the upcoming season because of the APR report.

And if the grades don’t get better, the Huskies’ punishment could get worse.

“We are all disappointed in our academic performance and going forward we are going to attack this in the only way I know how, and that is to work as hard as possible to get better every day,” coach Jim Calhoun said in a statement.

“I do know that over the past year, we have made improvements and are moving in the right direction.”

To avoid losing more scholarships or practice time, UConn will have to prove it.

And the Huskies weren’t the only school getting hit Tuesday.

Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., became the first school to face postseason bans in two programs — men’s basketball and football — because of academics.

The APR measures classroom performance of student-athletes on every Div. I team. Teams scoring below the 925 cutline in one year can face immediate penalties.

Those scoring below 900 or with low scores for several years face tougher historical sanctions.

This year’s data covers 2006-07 through 2009-10. A perfect score is 1,000.

The average APR number for all athletes jumped three points to 970 in the latest report. Baseball (959) and men’s basketball players (945) each had a five-point increase while the football score (946) improved by two points.

IN THIS APRIL 4 FILE PHOTO, CONNECTICUT COACH JIM CALHOUN QUESTIONS A CALL in the NCAA title game against Butler in Houston. The Huskies men’s basketball team was one of six BCS teams sanctioned on Tuesday for sub-par marks in the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Rates report.

But the improvement was tempered by two things — a record eight teams receiving postseason bans and the punishment of a prominent national champion that went before the NCAA infractions committee last year and now has seen a one-year drop from 930 to 893 in the classroom.

“It is disappointing to see that drop at UConn,” said Emmert, who once served as Connecticut’s chancellor.

“We certainly hope it’s a oneyear drop.”

Since postseason bans became part of the penalty structure in 2008, only four teams have received the punishment.

This year’s group consists of men’s basketball teams at Cal State-Northridge, Chicago State, Grambling, LouisianaMonroe and Southern, and football teams at Idaho State, Southern and Jackson State, Walter Payton’s alma mater.

No team has ever been given the harshest penalty, a one-year membership restriction.

The NCAA handed out 58 penalties this year to schools that have had consistently poor showings over more

than one year. These harshest penalties — postseason bans, practice reductions or guaranteed scholarship cuts — affected only one BCS conference team: Arkansas, which will lose one scholarship in men’s basketball.

Five other BCS teams will lose scholarships only if an equal number of academically ineligible players leave school. Football teams at Maryland and Louisville could lose up to three scholarships. Men’s basketball teams at Georgia Tech and LSU could each lose one.

A seventh BCS team, Southern Cal men’s basketball, fell below the cutline at 912, but was not penalized.

UConn has already said it will lose both its scholarships because two players have left the school in poor academic standing. The school posted the second-lowest score of any BCS team in the three major sports: football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. Arkansas’ men’s basketball team had an 892.

Kansas University men’s basketball team and Butler, the two-time national runner-up, each had a perfect 1,000.

NCAA concerned with poor APR results from SWAC, MEAC schools INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA President Mark Emmert expects athletes at historically black colleges and universities to make the grade — and he’s willing to help after seeing the results of the latest Academic Progress Rates.

The NCAA banned Jackson State and Southern of the Southwestern Athletic Conference from postseason play in football next season and did the same thing for Southern and Grambling in men’s basketball, citing poor classroom performance by all three schools and a host of others in the SWAC and MidEastern Athletic conferences.

The SWAC does not get an automatic bid to the NCAA’s FCS playoffs, but its own conference title game could be affected.

The NCAA released the penalties Tuesday. Southern became the first school to be banned from the postseason in two sports in the same year — football and men’s basketball — because of academic performance.

“You’re right that there are a number of historically black colleges and universities that have been penalized, especially through the postseason

ban,” Emmert said. “We are concerned about that, have met with those institutions to help them develop ways for improvement and to help provide resources to help them be successful.”

The impact of the penalties could swing the balance of power in the SWAC and MEAC, both comprised of HBCUs, and both of which get automatic bids to the NCAA basketball tourneys, too.

The numbers are striking: The NCAA evaluated more than 340 schools for the APR report but only 24 of them — about 7 percent of the total — are considered historically black colleges or universities.

Yet of the 58 harshest penalties handed out this year, fully half went to teams in these two conferences.

SWAC commissioner Duer Sharp told NCAA.org that turnover in school staff — including school presidents — has hurt academic performance of athletes.

Whatever the explanation, the SWAC must now decide whether to let Jackson State and Southern play in its football championship should they advance, and whether to

allow Southern and Grambling to compete in the men’s basketball tournament. If either were to win the championship, the league could lose its automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

“We don’t have a firm timeline,” assistant commissioner for communications Tom Galbraith said. “Our conference meetings aren’t until the f irst week of June, and I wouldn’t expect anything finalized before that time.”

Southern University released a statement from the off ice of Chancellor Kof i Lomotey saying that the latest APR report “sends a clear message that we must and will improve; and the process has already begun.”

The statement said that Southern officials have spent several months meeting with NCAA representatives, educators and others to work on strategies to “quickly address and correct some behaviors that have landed Southern University in this unenviable position.”

The plan includes a system to track athletes’ classroom performance and a greater emphasis on academic counseling.

MIAMI 101, CHICAGO 93, 0T

Heat one win away MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade was ailing, so LeBron James and Chris Bosh more than picked up the slack.

Then Wade found his groove at the perfect time, and the Miami Heat, the team put together solely to win championships, moved one emotional victory away from the NBA finals.

James scored 35 points, Bosh added 22 and the Heat beat the Chicago Bulls, 101-93, on Tuesday night, taking a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Game 5 is Thursday in Chicago, when the Heat can wrap up their first finals trip since 2006.

“Even though it took an extra five minutes, we held serve,” James said.

Wade went scoreless for nearly 33 straight minutes, before making a jumper with 2:08 left in overtime to help Miami keep the lead. He had two blocked shots in overtime, and after James made a contested jumper with 29 seconds remaining for a six-point lead, Derrick Rose’s layup was swatted away on the next Chicago possession.

At long last, it was over.

“My teammates kept telling me that I would make the biggest play of the game,” Wade said. “They told me to stick with it, stick with it — and I did. The game is not won in the first minute, it’s won in the last so I stuck with it and was able to do some things to help us get a victory.”

Bosh scored the first four points of overtime, and the Heat — now 8-0 at home in the playoffs — never trailed in the extra session. James closed it with two free throws with 1.4 seconds left, his 12th and 13th of the night, all without a miss. Bosh was 10-for-11 from the line, and Miami outscored Chicago, 32-17, in that department.

The Heat made their final 24 free throws.

Rose scored 23 points for the Bulls, who got 20 apiece from Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer. Chicago has lost three straight games for the first time this season.

But what this game will be remembered for was how the Heat rallied around Wade — then watched him save his best for the very end.

“We reminded him in one of the final huddles, this is his time,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The 2006 NBA finals MVP was in the arena late Monday night, trying to work on some things in one of his customary playoff after-dark sessions.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. This seemed like it would be the latter.

Whatever answer he sought, he didn’t find for much of Game 4. Wade made just five of 16 shots from the field, lacking his usual lift at the rim. He made a pair of free throws with 1:50 left in the first half for his seventh and eighth points, and didn’t score again until overtime.

Better late than never.

That was just the start for the Heat.

“Hey, they’re a great team,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “They compete. They play hard. They play great defense ... and they made plays at the end.”

Chicago turned the ball over on consecutive possessions, Wade turned the second of those into a layup with 1:01 left for a 95-89 lead, and the Heat soon knew they were one win away from the title round.

Mike Miller scored 12 for Miami.

“I’m going to learn from it,” said Rose, who tried to take personal blame for the loss.

The fourth quarter was pure theater, both teams clearly knowing — clearly relishing — the stakes.

Miami scored the f irst seven points for a 70-69 lead.

Chicago took the lead back on a pair of free throws by Rose with 6:34 left, and Miami answered with a four-point possession — two free throws

by Bosh after a flagrant foul against Boozer, followed by Miller making a jumper over Rose for a 78-77 edge.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Miller said. “I’ve been waiting for a game like this.”

Rose had a chance with 28 seconds left, his jumper from the left side hitting the rim and eventually being corralled by Miller. The Heat called time with 23 seconds left, 18 seconds on the shot clock, everyone in the building probably thinking the play would be set up for James.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Mavs coach pushes basics DALLAS (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd were told Tuesday to stay home and relax. The day after leading the Mavericks to one of their greatest comeback victories, and the day before they could earn another chance at their first NBA title, they deserved some time to lounge around and let it all soak in.

Besides, when they arrive at work today, coach Rick Carlisle will have plenty of other things for them to think about.

Like getting more rebounds, committing fewer turnovers and playing better defense the first 43 minutes so they don’t need another historic comeback.

Carlisle doesn’t expect his veteran squad to lose its focus after going up 3-1 in the Western Conference finals and getting a day off, but he’s not taking any chances. With the Oklahoma City Thunder on the ropes, he wants Dallas to knock them out right away, in Game 5 at home tonight.

“I know that (the Thunder) are going to come in tomorrow and they’re going to come back at us hard, as they’ve done every game,” Carlisle said. “We’ll have to play our best game to close them out. ...

We’ve got to be careful about getting away with how happy we are.”

History shows they should be pretty giddy.

Only eight teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit. Only two did it by winning twice on the road, which Oklahoma City would have to do, and those two teams had the experience and wisdom to pull it off: the defending champion Rockets in 1995, and the 1968 Celtics, who’d won nine of the previous 11 titles.

The youth and inexperience of the Thunder was evident in their Game 4 collapse.

Leading by 15 with 5 minutes left, Oklahoma City was cruising toward tying the series at 2-2. Playing at home, in a game they’d never trailed, All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook couldn’t make it hold up.

Durant missed his final six shots. He was so distraught afterward that he didn’t even speak with his mom or grandmother. His spirits weren’t much higher Tuesday.

“It’s a bad feeling, but we’ve got faith,” he said. “I’m just going to lay it all on the line.”

Thunder coach Scott Brooks refuses to use youth as an excuse for anything, always noting that even in three years his best players will still be in their mid-20s. He sees this game as one of the lumps that comes with growing up as NBA players.

His immediate concern is how they respond, primarily Durant.

“When you get punched,

you have to get up,” Brooks said. “You have no other choice. If you don’t, you’re not going to grow, you’re not going to get better as a player.”

Oklahoma City had been incredibly resilient, never losing consecutive games this postseason and six times during the regular season. Only once did the Thunder lose three in a row, and that was a string of games against eventual division champions right after their rotation-shaking trade for center Kendrick Perkins.

In their one playoff series last season, Oklahoma City immediately followed its third loss with their fourth.

This season, the Thunder are 1-0 when facing elimination, having won a Game 7 against Memphis last round.

“We can still make it a series,” said Brooks, a backup point guard on the ’95 Rockets. “It’s always about being mentally ready for the challenge, because it is a challenge. There’s no question we have a big challenge tomorrow, but it’s a challenge that our g uys will embrace.”

Before this series, Kidd said the Mavericks’ experience would only matter if they faced a situation where their wisdom would matter. It was easy to see down the stretch Monday night.

No restrictions on summer program feeding Douglas County children Q:

My sixth-grader just brought home this bright orange flier about the Summer Food Program in Lawrence. I don’t get it, are the meals really free to ALL youths between the ages of 1 and 18?

A:

Yes, it is true — yet for the past 15 years that the program has been offered in Lawrence, it seems like it is the best-kept secret in town (even though we promote it broadly through the Lawrence school district and various community agencies).

Through participation in the Summer Food Program, children benefit nutritionally by receiving complete, wholesome meals, and parents benefit from help in stretching their food dollars. Children who continue to receive healthy meals through the summer feel better, behave better and go back to school ready to learn.

Our biggest challenge in offering the Summer Food Program is figuring out how to get more teens to participate. I know teens have huge appetites — so if anyone has any great ideas on how to get them to take part in this program, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Here’s the lowdown! Free meals are available to all youth between the ages of 118. (An adult must accompany anyone under the age of 4 years old.) Any adult may also purchase lunch for $3.25 and breakfast for $2.

What is so hard for people to understand is that anyone who meets the age requirements mentioned above can just walk in and get a free meal. The only requirement is that they must eat the food on-site — that means anywhere on the grounds. In other words, they can’t just grab a lunch and get in a vehicle and take off.

No, they do not have to qualify for the reduced or free lunch school program in order to come. No, they do not need to be participating

in a program at the sites in order to come. No, there is no paperwork, no registration, no proof of citizenship, no proof of income and no proof of age. And, no there is no fee to pay. I know this sounds too good to be true, but it is legitimate and the best way I know to help kids from going hungry during the summer.

The Summer Food Program will be offered Monday through Friday at the locations listed below. Please pay close attention to the dates and times as they vary from one location to another.

Also, note that breakfast is served only at the Boys and Girls Club and Hillcrest School.

Lunch-only sites ● East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St. May 31-Aug. 5, noon-1 p.m. ● South Park Recreation Center, 1141 Mass.

May 31-Aug. 5, noon-1 p.m. ● Broken Arrow Park, 29th and Louisiana streets May 31-Aug. 5, noon-1 p.m.

Lunch and breakfast sites ● Boys and Girls Club, East Heights, 1430 Haskell Ave. June 6-July 29, 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ● Hillcrest School, 1045 Hilltop Drive June 6-July 29, 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

All sites are closed for the Fourth of July holiday.

Q: How were these sites selected?

A: The approved sites meet the qualifications in which at least half the chil-

that my favorite thing I sampled all day (and sample, I did — to the point of serious sickness) was a cup of homemade ice cream, spooned on top of graham cracker and pecan crumbles, and spiked with several pieces of candied bacon.

CANDIED BACON. Did you hear me? I just said CANDIED BACON. Come to Mama.

The winning item in the open category was what Team Willie’s called a pork tenderloin, but it didn’t look like any pork tenderloin I ever saw before. You know, it bore no resemblance to the Cryovac tubes of meat you find in your basic grocer’s meat section. This big beauty was on the bone the way you might expect to see a rack of lamb. It was beautiful, so much so that I almost was loathe to bite into it.

There were wings that were fried in peanut oil on the grill, and there was a giant mushroom cap filled with sausage, cheese and jalapeno. There was homemade sausage and sausage stuffed with cheese and potatoes. There was pico de gallo salad (a welcome and refreshing change of pace) and bacon-wrapped shrimp.

I seriously sat there and cried as every clam shell came in. It was like Christmas. “What is it? What is it?” we’d cry, and then they’d open it for us to see, and the room would silence. “Ahhhhh.” Each box got its culinary due respect.

But, to me, that ice cream was the most exciting part of the day. I mean, it was ice cream. Homemade ice cream. With bacon in it.

dren in the area are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. However, once the site is approved, any youth between the ages of 1 and 18 can get a free meal.

Q: Who sponsors the Summer Food Program?

A: The Food and Nutrition Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, administers the Summer Food Program at the federal level. The Kansas State Department of Education-Child Nutrition and Wellness administers the program at the state level.

Locally, the Summer Food Program is sponsored by a community coalition, including the Lawrence Public Schools Food Service Department, K-State Research & Extension-Douglas County, Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation and Lawrence Douglas County Housing Authority Resident Services.

If you have additional questions about the Summer Food Program, just call me at 843-7058 or e-mail skrumm@ksu.edu.

Q: What is Flaxmilk?

A: For those who are allergic to dairy foods or have lactose intolerance, there is another choice of milk available on grocery shelves. It is made from flax seed and called Flaxmilk.

Flax seeds are pressed to remove the oil from the seeds. It is then mixed with water. Evaporated cane juice sweetens the milk and is flavored with vanilla extract and sea salt. It is fortified with vitamins A, D2 and B12.

A 1-cup serving has 50 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat, 80 milligrams of sodium and 7 grams of carbohydrates.

Besides the vitamins listed above, it also has calcium, iron and phosphorus. The amount of calcium is as much as in dairy milk. It is also a rich source of omega3 fatty acids.

Flaxmilk can be consumed by the glass, over cereal, in smoothies or in recipes. It

Curry

Authentic regional recipes part of grilling success

this.”

Eventually, Sangam struck up a relationship with the landlord of 1111 Mass., and, after a year’s time, Curry in a Hurry was able to move into the spot vacated by Kwality Comics. The transition took four months as Sangam and his family shut down the Shell operation and prepared the new space. When the shop opened up its doors April 27, Sangam says he was pleased to see customers from the Shell station who had waited out the transition, and he’s seen many new faces, too — which has already led to adjustments.

“A lot of neighborhood people are stopping by, and we are having conversations with them, wanting to know exactly the stuff they want here,” says Sangam, who is catering some KU graduation parties with Curry in a Hurry’s popular samosas.

“And probably (we) will categorize and start offering those to them.”

One of the first new customers was Amanda Davis, who hadn’t tried the original location but knew she had to give Curry in a Hurry a shot when she found herself craving Indian food.

“It was really fast and definitely didn’t disappoint,” says Davis, who blogs about food at jayhawkgirlskitchen.blogspot .com. “I think curry certainly jibes with the idea of graband-go. The way that Sammi has things set up makes it very easy for someone to walk in, grab some dinner and walk out within about 2 minutes. Naan can even be its own utensil if necessary.”

Davis’ husband, Josh, says he loved the food his wife brought home from Curry in a Hurry and also says that if reality TV is any indication, Sangam and his curry are way ahead of the game.

“I actually was pulling for Spice Coast, a quick Indian food concept restaurant, which was one of the three finalists on NBC’s ‘America’s Next Great Restaurant,’” he says of a concept presented as “Indian Chipotle.” “I think in urban areas as well as progressive college towns, quick Indian food would do really well. I am not much of a cook, so when Amanda is gone at work I tend to go for convenience/fast-type foods.

I frequently mention the lack of quick ethnic options, and that is why I am so excited about Curry in a Hurry.”

Tangy or mellow, spicy or mild, barbecue sauce is the icing on the steak — or ribs, or whatever else it is you happen to throw on the grill.

And just as in real estate, location is a big deal, with new attention being paid to the various regional recipes for grilling success.

“It’s all about authenticity right now. Everybody wants to stay true to the different regions,” says Chris Lilly, vice president of the renowned Big Bob Gibson Bar-B -Q restaurants in Alabama and head of their competition team.

And the differences aren’t always subtle. This is, after all, barbecue. In Northern Alabama, for example, there’s a white barbecue sauce based on mayonnaise with black pepper and a little lemon juice. While Kansas City is home of a tangy, tomato and molassesinfluenced sauces, the inspiration for the brand KC Masterpiece.

Overall, barbecue sauce sales in the U.S. reached $660 million in 2010, gaining 21 percent from 2005, according to a recent report from market research company Mintel.

And that growth likely will continue. With beef and pork prices on the increase, food trend observer Phil Lempert, the “Supermarket Guru,” expects sales of barbecue sauce to increase as people look for ways to improve the taste of cheaper cuts of meat.

But slow down before you slather it on. Lempert notes that most people don’t use barbecue sauces properly.

They should be brushed onto the meat during the final minutes of cooking — not at the start — otherwise they’ll probably burn.

And if you’re aiming to make meat more tender, look for sauces that are high in acid, not sugar. “I always make my own using grapefruit, orange or tomato juices and add a few spices,” says Lempert.

For those who do know their way around the grill, competitive barbecuing continues to grow, with more competitions popping up and TV shows devoted to griller warfare.

“It’s a fantastic hobby,” says Lilly, who is also the official pitmaster for Kingsford charcoal. “Any given weekend in the U.S. you’ll have 10 to 12 — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached different competitions where at 832-7187. you can go to cook.”

This sauce is a great choice for tossing with shredded meats or for mopping over grilled meats as they cook. It also is good for dressing an Asian slaw.

Sauce and marinades are one part of a successful barbecue. The other is controlling your fire.

“The biggest mistake is setting up the charcoal fire all for direct grilling,” says Lilly.

“The trick is to push the charcoal to one side so that you can have direct and indirect

heat, controlling how quickly the food will cook.”

You also need to take advantage of the grill lid and keep it closed.

“Shut your grill, be patient, enjoy your friends and family around the charcoal grill and let the grill do what it’s supposed to do and that’s cook fantastic food,” says Lilly. ●

Speedy summer meal features grilled shrimp

By Jim Romanoff For The Associated Press

Beautiful spring weather and longer days often mean a good, home-cooked supper falls by the wayside. Who wants to be standing around in the kitchen, right?

But don’t give in to the temptation of greasy takeout or frozen dinners. There are plenty of shortcuts that can help you get a healthy meal on the table in a surprisingly short amount of time.

This rice and noodle pilaf with edamame and grilled shrimp, for example, is a onepot meal that can be on the table in around 35 minutes — less time than it usually takes to get a pizza delivered.

The secret to the ease of this tasty meal starts at the market. The starch portion of the dish consists of quickcooking fine egg noodles combined with instant brown rice, which has all the nutrition of its conventional cousin, but cooks in about a quarter of the time.

To build layers of great flavor, the rice and noodles are browned with sauteed red onion and smoky Canadian bacon, then simmered in dry white wine and chicken broth. Vegetables come in the form of protein-rich edamame. But if you prefer, you could use frozen baby lima beans or even blackeyed peas.

While the pilaf is simmering, throw some lemony, flash-marinated shrimp on the grill. If you don’t want to

bother lighting the grill you can cook the shrimp in a nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat until they are opaque, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Grilled scallops or chicken would work, too.

RICE AND NOODLE PILAF WITH EDAMAME, SHRIMP 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 small red onion, chopped 2 ounces finely chopped Canadian bacon (about 1/3 cup) 3/4 cup fine egg noodles, broken up 3/4 cup instant brown rice 1/4 cup dry white wine 1 cup frozen shelled edamame 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth Salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more to garnish

Light a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to high.

In a bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice. Add the shrimp, toss to coat, then set aside.

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and bacon and saute until the onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add the noodles and rice and cook, stirring often, until the noodles begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine has evaporated,

SAMMI SANGAM’S Curry in a Hurry is one part Indian food destination and one part convenience store. It's located just across from the Douglas County Courthouse at 1111 Mass.

Indian food on the run Curry in a Hurry sets up shop in downtown Lawrence

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Mexican food has Taco Bell.

American food has McDonald’s.

Italian food has Fazoli’s.

Somewhere in the patchwork of American fast food there is a place for Indian food, or so believes Sammi Sangam.

Enter Curry in a Hurry, Sangam’s uber-quick Indian food operation that opened late last month at 1111 Mass.

“As far as I know, there are probably hundreds of Indian restaurants in this country, but there’s no Indian fast food, like Indian McDonald’s, Indian Taco Bell,” he says. “Americans are always busy — let them have Indian food in the way they want it — quick. In a minute to go.”

And that’s just as long as it takes to get Indian fare at his storefront across the street from the Douglas County Courthouse. Every day, there’s a meat-based curry and a vegetable-based curry for sale — for example, chicken tikka masala and vegetable korma — plus rice, and snacks including naan and

samosas available pre-packaged and ready to go for customers.

Pick up food and a fork, pay and go.

Diners can also grab a glass of mango juice or chai for something authentic to wash down the meal or pick up one of the store’s many convenience store items such as soft drinks, chips and candy. In fact, the city has the store zoned as a convenience shop, not a restaurant, which should come at no surprise given Curry in a Hurry’s origins.

Curry in a Hurry first opened as an aside at Sangam’s Shell gas station at 1733 Mass. Sangam wanted to feed his customers, most of whom were college students often foraging for dinner among the station’s prepared foods.

“The whole idea was born to help college students. At the gas station, 80 percent of our customers were KU students,” he says. “And they were always looking for some kind of quick snack or quick food and the idea was born of why don’t we provide

ABOVE, Copper Coyote Ramberg has become a steady customer of Curry in a Hurry, 1111 Mass., because of the take-out vegetarian options.

AT LEFT, Indian entrees to finger foods are offered at the restaurant and convenience store.

Candied bacon ice cream highlight of decadent foodie contest

I

Megan Stuke/Lawrence.com Photo

CANDIED BACON ICE CREAM is shown at the Fire in the Hole BBQ Contest, which was May 20-21 and sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

t’s a good thing I judged a barbeque competition this weekend, because my stove — my 3-year-old, got it for a wedding present stove — died on Sunday.

So the barbeque contest was not only fun, and I mean superduper fun, but it was functional in a “Here are 10 pieces of brisket with one bite out of each” way. Because last night I was in the middle of preheating the oven and frying bacon for a bacon, egg and herb pizza when I was suddenly sizzless.

And so, there it was, partially eaten brisket for dinner, which is dang good in a pinch.

“THE FLYING FORK”

a blog by Megan Stuke The contest was the annual Fire In The Hole BBQ Contest put on by the local Eagles Lodge. This year, the proceeds went to the Visiting Nurses Association and particularly to their treatment of children diagnosed with “Failure to

Thrive.” I loves me some babies, so I was thrilled to be asked to participate at any level. I’d have been happy to sell cans of pop or put up tents, so I was extra excited when they said I could be a judge.

WHERE DO I SIGN UP? WHERE? WHERE? NOW? WHEN? The contest was really fun, both in terms of food and in terms of fellowship. It was a gorgeous day, and a bunch of really great folks came out to eat and give money to babies who need it.

And so I ate brisket and a slew of other things. If you ever

get to judge a barbeque contest, and I really hope you do, be sure to sign up to do the “open” category if they have such a category. The “open” category is basically the teams’ opportunity to get wacky with it. You see, in competitive barbecuing, the rules are surprisingly tight.

You can use only certain garnishes, can present your meat only in certain ways, no funny business allowed. But in the “open” category, all bets are off.

You can serve anything, as long as it was prepared on-site.

bring up the issue. And at some point, the eyesight can weaken, and these hairs are not noticed. We urge people to take care of their personal grooming since it makes an impression, justified or not, and if you need a magnification mirror, get one.

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

— Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Dear Recovered: You need to tell your siblings how much this hurts you. People who exaggerate and gossip often do so because they crave attention, and in some perverse way, your siblings believe your story gives them celebrity status while making them feel superior.

You might ask them why they feel the need to denigrate you to others. Then ask if they will please stop because it is hurtful and undermines whatever sibling relationship you have.

Dear Annie: I associate with some older gentlemen

Young actors shine on ’Modern Family’ A television favorite ends its season without a glance at the competition, assured in its place as the best of its kind. No, I’m not talking about “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox), also wrapping up its season tonight, but “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC), simply the strongest network comedy around.

The best sitcoms have always been ensemble affairs where any cast member was capable of carrying the story for the episode, only to slide into the background in subsequent stories. This worked on comedies from “I Love Lucy” to “Will & Grace.” I was always impressed by how few episodes of “Seinfeld” revolved around the title character.

What sets “Modern Family” apart is the talent and most notably the comic timing of the younger players.

The stars of many sitcoms, even the best sitcoms, seemed to follow W.C. Fields’ disdain for sharing scenes with children and canines. The Crane brothers on “Frasier” may have shared the furniture with a dog, but children were rarely in sight. “Seinfeld” used kids only rarely and usually as an absurd foil for George or Kramer’s outrageous antics. I was always amazed how a family-oriented show like “Everybody Loves Raymond” all but wrote the kids out of the picture. “Raymond” veteran Patricia Heaton has certainly written three “interesting” offspring into her latest series “The Middle,” but that comedy often seems to try just a tad too hard and lacks the effortless chemistry and impeccable scripts of “Modern Family.”

If you must name a first among equals in this ensemble, it would be Ed O’Neill as Jay. On a series where it seems every character, from his clueless son-in-law to his oddly precocious stepson, wants to dissect and share his feelings, Jay behaves as if his tear ducts have been removed. That’s what makes his emotional outbursts all the more funny. And touching.

Jay reached new depths of feelings this season on the Mother’s Day episode when the very smell of a meat sauce cooked from his mother’s recipe provoked unwanted waterworks.

But then again, that episode also belonged to Manny (Rico Rodriguez), Luke (Nolan Gould), Haley (Sarah Hyland) and Alex (Ariel Winter) whose conspiracy to blunt Claire’s (Julie Bowen) guilt trip was hatched in a scene performed with breezy, effortless charm.

It’s a treat to watch such young talent given such sophisticated material and hitting the lines out of the park. It’s way too early to say if we’re dealing with the next Jodie Fosters or Natalie Portmans here, but I certainly look forward to watching their careers unfold.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Brick must keep a summer journal on “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC). ● “Nova” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) discusses secrets of the Parthenon. ● Travis departs for Hawaii on the season finale of “Cougar Town” (8:30 p.m., ABC). ● Amber strives to feed her family of six on less than $50 while Amanda tries to outsave her frugal grandmother on “Extreme Couponing” (8:30 p.m., TLC). ● A killer prefers crowds on “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A casino employee runs out of luck on “Law & Order: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., NBC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Wednesday, May 25: This year, you often feel as if you have to repeat the same action over and over, or the same conversation over and over. On the other hand, you gain a great deal of prominence in your chosen field or in your community. If you are single, you could meet someone through your community or professional involvements. If you are attached, the two of you will bond more intensely if you pursue a common commitment together. Pisces understands you well.

Dear Annie: Nearly 23 years ago, at the end of my Ph.D. studies, I became ill with severe depression. Not recognizing the problem, I selfmedicated with illegal drugs and became an addict. I was so messed up that I had to move back in with my parents, who provided a roof over my head but nothing else. My father, a doctor, sent me to a psychiatrist who misdiagnosed me with bipolar disease. I was unable to work and had no money. At the end of a year, I was no better. I tried to burglarize my father's office to get drugs, and my parents had me arrested. They then disowned me, and I became homeless. I lived in a shelter and began working at simple jobs I felt I could handle.

After two years, a friend insisted I be hospitalized in a mental health facility. A psychiatrist there correctly diagnosed me with major depression and began treatment.

Within a matter of weeks, I was much improved and able to stop using illegal drugs.

From there, I found a job near my educational level. I later married and have since lived a productive and happy life.

Here's the problem: I have seven siblings. Some of them still speak ill of me to others, even manufacturing dramatic lies about me. My recovery has seemingly meant nothing
