KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S MARKIEFF MORRIS, LEFT PHOTO, AND MARCUS MORRIS, RIGHT PHOTO, shake hands with NBA Commissioner David Stern during the NBA basketball draft Thursday in Newark, N.J. Markieff was selected No. 13 by the Phoenix Suns, and his twin brother, Marcus, followed as the No. 14 pick by the Houston Rockets. The Philadelphia natives will play on different teams for the first time, but their mother, Angel, said she thought it would be good for both of them. The Morrises’ KU teammate Josh Selby was chosen as the 49th draft pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, where he joins former Jayhawks Darrell Arthur and Xavier Henry.

Morris twins chosen 13th, 14th in NBA

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Markieff Morris came into the world first, seven minutes before his twin, Marcus. Twenty-one years and 42 weeks later, Markieff entered the NBA before his brother, but not by much.

The twins from Philadelphia, who led Kansas University to a 353 record and an Elite Eight NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2010-11 season, watched and waited 77 minutes for one of their names to be called, and then heard both names within seven minutes dur-

ing Thursday night’s NBA draft.

Markieff went to the Phoenix Suns with the 13th pick, and the Houston Rockets made Marcus the 14th pick of the draft.

The twins became the 26th and 27th first-round NBA draft picks from Kansas.

During their three years at Kansas, Marcus compiled better career statistics (12.6 points, 6.2 rebounds) than Markieff (8. 5, 6. 1), but Markieff is an inch taller at 6-foot10, which makes him more of a prototypical power forward.

Josh Selby, who spent one sus-

pension-shortened, injury-marred season at Kansas, did not get selected until the second round with the 49th pick of the draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. He will team with former Jayhawks Darrell Arthur and Xavier Henry.

A trade that took place shortly before the start of Thursday’s draft left the Charlotte Bobcats with the seventh and ninth selections in the draft, giving the Morrises hope they could remain teammates as professionals. But the Bobcats passed twice

on both players, making separation of the virtually inseparable twins a reality.

“I’ll send him flowers or some fruit,” Marcus said of his brother during an ESPN interview. “He’ll be all right.”

The twins’ mother, Angel Morris, also picked up some air time and said she thought the time was right for them to live apart and that it would be good for both of them.

EUDORA — Nearly two hours into a meeting discussing the safety of Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence, Carie Lawrence looked up from a map of dots that had depicted points of fatality accidents that had occurred across the state.

“These people were all loved and cared for and missed,” said Lawrence, of Overland Park, whose 5-year-old grandson Cainan Shutt of Eudora died in an April 16 crash on K-10 near Eudora. “Every number has a name. I don’t want that to get forgotten as we go to these meetings.”

Nineteen members of the group met Thursday at the Eudora Community Center to examine the highway’s safety after the April double fatality and the Kansas Department of Transportation’s policy on placing cable median barriers on fourlane highways.

Cainan Shutt’s family, Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson and members of a Facebook group have urged the state to install the cable median barrier between Lawrence and Interstate 435 in Johnson County. The group was formed under a directive from Gov. Sam Brownback after Hopson wrote him a letter.

Group links recent flooding to climate change, says preparedness should be focus

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Flooding in the Midwest should be a reminder that governments need to re-evaluate projections for severe weather events.

That’s according to a group of researchers with the Union of Concerned Scientists who think that human-induced climate change is triggering recent heavy rain and flooding along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

“We have instituted flood protection and we have been able to save lives. But what we haven’t done is

adjust our flood protection to the new normal of climate change,” said Brenda Ekwurzel, assistant director for Climate Research and Analysis with the Union of Concerned Scientists.

As waters rose across the Midwest and South this spring, the Union of Concerned Scientists

issued a report that noted a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. So, when storms occur there is more water vapor in the atmosphere to fall as rain, snow or hail.

Since 1970, water vapor over the oceans has increased by 4 percent, according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“It’s more likely that when it rains it will pour and that creates much more likelihood for flooding,” Ekwurzel said.

Numbers not final, but KU’s summer enrollment appears slightly lower

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Across Kansas University, some schools and departments reported slightly lower numbers of students signing up for summer classes, though official figures won’t be available until later in the year.

The university touts summer courses as an option for students looking to free up valuable time during the spring and fall semesters or knock out the last few requirements for a degree.

Students in the College of Liber-

al Arts and Sciences may take a maximum of 10 hours of class during the summer, but can petition to take up to 12.

Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman, said that universitywide enrollment numbers won’t be released until the end of the summer term, on July 29, because students are adding and dropping classes during the short summer term.

“The numbers aren’t finalized,” she said.

planet becoming wetter and the driest parts drier, Ekwurzel said governments need to do a better job of preparing for the worst.

“It’s extremely important to engage local officials and planners about how we think about and prepare for the next five to 10 years. We have to prepare for huge floods,” Ekwurzel said.

State climatologist Mary Knapp questions the conclusions the group of scientists drew on certain points. However, she does believe that those planning for emergencies need to consider wider extremes in weather events.

She thinks people can be reluctant to make changes because it could mean recalculating the floodplain, which could cost money and alter property values.

“I think what people should do is evaluate the range of possibilities and look at the possibility of maybe not having as predictable or stable (event),” Knapp said.

Research shows that from 1958 to 2007, the amount of rainfall in the heaviest 1 percent of storms increased by 31 percent on average for the Midwest, the Union of Concerned Scientists reports.

In Kansas, the past three decades have been wetter than in the previous period, Knapp said.

“If we are having more rain, it’s more likely we are going to have an increase in frequency of big rain events,” Knapp said.

She also questions the scientists’ theory that after a heavy rain there is less water vapor in the atmosphere so dry spells will be longer.

“When you get a heavy rain event, yes, it temporarily reduces the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, but you’ve got that water saturated into the ground that will evaporate and add moisture (back into) the atmosphere.”

In fact, she said, it’s often likely to rain in the same place it rained the last time.

She also said that large rain events are only one factor in

HIAWATHA (AP) — Floodwaters along the Missouri River in northeastern Kansas are sending many motorists miles out of their way, and some roads are expected to be closed for several more weeks.

One major detour is directing vehicles onto U.S. 36 in Brown County. The highway goes through the town of Hiawatha, where a combination of construction and the extra traffic is backing cars up for miles.

KTKA-TV reports that some residents say they’ve had to wait up to 45 minutes to drive in and out of town.

Not everyone’s complaining. Some Hiawatha restaurant owners are happy for the extra traffic because it’s good for business.

Officials don’t yet know when the highway will reopen. creating flooding. For example, she pointed to the layer of events that led to the current flooding along the Missouri.

Last year was a wet one, so storage capacity was already high. Coupled with last year’s moisture was an unusually heavy snow pack in the Rocky Mountains. Spring rains only added to the problem.

“So now you’ve got more water than a system can handle,” she said.

Knapp cautioned against placing blame on climate change for the flooding.

“Focusing climate change particularly as being the cause can lead to the assumption that we can somehow remove the possibility, that we can control climate change, therefore we won’t have flooding, which is a dangerous assumption to make,” Knapp said.

Restaurant teams with Habitat for Humanity for funding contest

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

Lawrence Habitat for Humanity and McAlister’s Deli, 2108 W. 27th St., are working together to fund community service projects.

The McAlister’s corporation is raising awareness for nonprofit organizations with its Tea Town USA competition. Participating restaurants have nominated a local nonprofit, and residents can vote for their community on Facebook.

Organizations from the top 10 towns win cash donations.

First place receives $7,500, second place receives $5,000, third through fifth places win $2,000, and the remaining recipients each win $1,000.

law enforcement and city and county government officials.

Clay Adams, KDOT’s northeast Kansas district engineer, and Hopson were selected as co-chairmen.

Most of Thursday’s discussion centered on the number of cross-median fatality crashes that have occurred on K-10. Cainan Shutt died in the April 16 crash. An eastbound Toyota Camry driven by 24year-old Ryan Pittman of Eudora crossed over the median and collided head-on with the minivan Cainan was riding in with his grandparents and 2-year-old sister, Courtlynn, who was also injured.

According to KDOT statistics provided at the meeting, 1,246 total accidents occurred from 2006 to 2010 on K-10 resulting in nine deaths. Of those, 35 have involved vehicles crossing the median resulting in f ive deaths.

Statewide, 104 people have died in 89 fatal cross-median crashes from 2000 to 2010.

Some group members said that K-10 had become dangerous because of the high speeds, distracted drivers and the number of cross-median crashes, and that KDOT’s policy should focus more on preventing fatalities and give less weight to crashes where no one is injured.

“We can repair and replace cars all day long, but when somebody goes over in a fatality accident, you can’t replace that,” said Johnson County Commissioner Jim Allen, of Shawnee, who also works in the insurance business.

Allen said the state should also likely focus on trying to save drivers who are in the correct lane during a crossmedian crash.

KDOT officials have said the issue still merits study because cable barriers are “not benign” and still cause damage, like in crashes where drivers might have been able to regain control in a wider median. Adams said it’s estimated 1 in 40 cable barrier crashes involve a fatality or serious injury.

KDOT officials have also asked the group to develop a way to assess how it justifies when to install a cable median barrier on a state highway.

tat for Humanity, said McAlister’s employees have previously worked with the organization, which has built more than 70 homes in Lawrence since 1989. She said the competition is a great way to build their relationship.

“I truly hope our community comes together and will not only support Habitat but support Lawrence itself,” said Howell, who added that all prize money will go toward a building project in Lawrence.

very open. I come to this process to as very openminded. There are some people in KDOT who would just flat say we’re not going to put a barrier up,” Adams said. “I just want you to know I’m not one of those.”

Future study Group members, including Lawrence Public Works Director Chuck Soules and Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman, mostly asked for more information for future meetings, such as specific details on what caused each crossmedian fatality crash.

KDOT has already announced this year it will widen the shoulders and add rumble strips to K-10 in Douglas County to match the Johnson County section of the road.

Hopson asked if the estimated $3.2 million cost of that project could instead be saved for a potential cable median construction, but Adams said the rumble strip project is part of repairing the surface of K-10 travel lanes.

“We couldn’t have taken that money and put it toward the cable. We needed to spend it there,” Adams said.

KDOT estimates it would cost $200,000 per mile to install a cable median barrier.

Members of the group scheduled their next meeting for July 14 when Dean Sicking, a University of Nebraska civil engineering professor who has helped KDOT study cable median barriers, is scheduled to give a presentation. Hopson said group members would meet monthly for five months so they could give a recommendation to KDOT in November.

KDOT would make the f inal decision about any improvements or changes to the highway.

Suspects arrested for armed robbery on KU campus Staff Reports

Two male Kansas University students reported being approached by two men, both of whom were armed with a gun, behind Snow Hall at about 1:45 Thursday morning, a KU official said.

The suspects demanded and took property from the victims before leaving the scene, said Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman.

Lawrence police found the suspects about 20 minutes later, Jess said.

KU police interviewed the suspects — a 23-year-old Fort Leavenworth man and a 21year-old Fort Leavenworth man — before arresting them on suspicion of aggravated robbery and intimidation of a witness or victim, according to jail records.

Both are expected to appear in Douglas County District Court today to face formal charges.

A Fort Leavenworth spokeswoman confirmed that both suspects are soldiers stationed at the U.S. Army post, but said she would not release further details until the suspects were charged.

Jess said representatives from KU’s Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success offered assistance to the victims.

No one was physically injured in the incident.

The Journal-World generally does not name criminal suspects until they are charged.

Obama: Gay couples deserve equal rights Treading carefully, President Barack Obama praised New York state lawmakers who were debating landmark legislation Thursday to legalize gay marriage, saying that’s what democracy’s all about. But as expected, the president stopped short of embracing same-sex marriage himself, instead asking gay and lesbian donors for patience.

“I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as every other couple in this country,” the president said at a Manhattan fundraiser, his first geared specifically to the gay community. Coincidentally, the long-planned event occurred just as lawmakers in Albany were debating legislation that would make New York the sixth and by far the largest state to legalize gay marriage.

That served to spotlight the president’s own views on same-sex marriage, a sore point with gay supporters who’ve otherwise warmed to Obama. The president has said his views are “evolving,” but for now he supports civil unions, not same-sex marriage.

Obama said progress will be slower than some people want, but he added that he was confident that there will be a day “when every single American, gay or straight or lesbian or bisexual or transgender, is free to live and love as they see fit.”

School consolidation group breaks the ice

TOPEKA (AP) — The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has delayed a vote again on former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six’s nomination to a federal appeals court.

Six’s nomination to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Denver, was on the committee’s agenda Thursday. But Chairman and Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy announced it was being held over because some committee members want more discussion.

Anti-abortion groups hope to derail the nomination of Six, Six a Democrat, over how criminal cases involving abortion providers were handled while he was attorney general.

Kansas’ two senators, Republicans Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, have announced their opposition to his confirmation.

Six was appointed attorney general in January 2008 when his predecessor resigned over a sex scandal. Six lost his race last year to keep the office.

Neighborhood blasts kill 40 Four bombs ripped through Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad Thursday evening, killing at least 40 people in the worst violence the capital has seen in months, Iraqi officials said. An American civilian aid specialist working to improve education in Iraq was killed in a separate attack.

The violence underscored the fragile nature of the security gains in Iraq at a time when American forces are preparing to withdraw by the end of this year and the challenges facing the State Department personnel and American contractors who would continue on after the U.S. military is gone.

The first three bombs went off in quick succession in a southwestern Baghdad neighborhood shortly after 7 p.m. One targeted a Shiite mosque, another exploded just outside a popular market, while the third went off inside the market where people were doing their evening shopping ahead of the Muslim weekend, Iraqi police officials said.

About an hour later, a parked car bomb targeting a police patrol killed six people, including one policeman and five bystanders in a different neighborhood in southwestern Baghdad, said hospital officials.

A Linwood man sentenced to life in prison for child rape late last year, currently out of jail on a $400,000 appeal bond, has been placed under supervision and ordered to stay away from children and places frequented by children as a condition of his bond.

A Leavenworth County District Court judge ordered the conditions on the bond of Christopher A. King after Linwood-area residents told Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson’s office that they’d seen King at sporting events and in other public areas, Thompson said.

King, 35, was sentenced to life in prison in December 2010 after he was found guilty in October of two counts of rape and one count each of aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

King was found guilty of sexually molesting a girl, who was then 8 years old. According to court proceedings, the assaults occurred several times between Aug. 20, 2007, and Jan. 3, 2008.

The girl is one of King’s relatives, Thompson said.

The conditions placed on King’s appeal bond require him to report to Leavenworth County Court Services by noon today to begin bond supervision and electronic monitoring. He is ordered to have no contact with the victim or her family; to have no contact with any children except his son; and to keep at least 1,000 feet away from any school, sports field or practice facility, swimming pool, park or other place frequented by children.

After Linwood-area residents contacted Thompson’s office in late May and early June, the office filed a motion to put the

Fears over the health of a young Emperor penguin stranded on a New Zealand beach have prompted officials to move it to a local zoo.

The penguin’s rare 2,000-mile journey from Antarctica has captured the imagination of many.

But veterinarians became concerned enough about the bird today that they stepped in.

Peter Simpson, a program manager for the Department of Conservation, said the penguin was eating sand and sticks and that its health appeared to be deteriorating after four days on Peka Peka Beach on New Zealand’s North Island.

A crew placed it in an ice box and drove it to Wellington Zoo. Experts there will try to restore the penguin to health and return it to the wild.

Endangered species hit hard by fire The largest wildfire in Arizona history left a charred landscape of blackened forest, burned-out vehicle hulks and charred fireplaces as it destroyed more than 30 homes. It also inflicted a serious toll on an ecosystem that’s home to numerous endangered species.

The flames spared three packs of endangered Mexican gray wolves but likely killed at least some threatened Mexican spotted owls as it roared through more than a half-million acres of a pristine forest on the New Mexico border.

Though some spots were untouched or had only undergrowth burn, the effect of the human-caused Wallow fire will last for decades because it burned so hot in many areas that it completely denuded the landscape, forest specialists said.

“The natural fires are good for a healthy forest, but these fires — where the debris has been allowed to build up and it just hasn’t been addressed — they come out very hot and just scorch everything. As soon as the monsoon shows up, there’s a potential for a lot of soil to move,” said Tom Buckley, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife spokesman.

There’s a new health event especially for men.

Hoops For Men’s Health will be Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse and will feature a luncheon, free-throw contest and health fair.

“Men are especially reluctant, it seems, to go to the doctor to have the basic things checked throughout their life,” said Ted Haggart, president of Douglas County Bank and a member of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association board.

The goal is to get men to think about their health and take some preventative measures.

It also will raise money for the endowment association, which provides financial support to LMH for equipment and

Working out in high gear

Are there any purple martins in Lawrence? I haven’t seen any this

A:

Yes, there are purple martins in and around Lawrence. They like open areas, so they’re easier to spot outside of town. Mark Robbins, collection manager for Kansas University’s ornithology program, suggests trying near the former Sunflower ammunition plant or across the Clinton Lake dam. The birds perch in manmade bird houses, on telephone wires and in old, dead trees.

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district is willing to boost salaries for teachers who take additional classes and earn additional degrees but isn’t prepared to lift all teachers’ salaries beyond a $500 across-the-board raise proposed in recent weeks.

At least not yet.

Thursday night, negotiators for the district offered to grant teachers “horizontal movement” on the district’s salary schedule, as part of ongoing negotiations for a master agreement that would govern teacher compensation and working conditions for the coming school year.

If enacted today, 39 teachers would qualify for additional pay by virtue of taking extra classes and completing additional points through professional development.

District administrators estimate that such movement on the scale would cost the district another $125,000 to $150,000 for the coming year.

The offer is “moving in the right direction,” said David

School Jordan Jacobs, high school senior, Lawrence “I took a poetry class.”

“I denied it then,” Lempa said, “and I still deny it.”

The exchanges highlighted the meeting Thursday night, as more than two dozen volunteers gathered to get an introduction to their appointed task: Meet during the coming months to identify and recommend ways to consolidate schools.

Specifically: Trim a list of six schools — their schools — to either three or four within three to five years.

Reber, a teacher who is lead negotiator for the Lawrence Education Association, the union representing more than 900 licensed educators in the district.

“But it doesn’t really affect a lot of people,” Reber said.

The district didn’t budge on its offer to give all such educators another $500 for next year, a one-time payment that would not carry over into the following year. The union has stood by its contention that all educators should get another $1,500 a year, and that the raise should remain on the books for years to come.

Both sides also continued to disagree on fringe benefits.

The district wants educators to keep the same health insurance coverage for the coming year, expected to cost the district about $44 less to provide for each teacher.

Administrators maintain that the reduced spending on health insurance would save taxpayers money, while union negotiators argue that the district should spend the $44 in “savings.”

“That’s not the board’s money,” Reber said, noting

that any district proposal that dipped below the current contributions would be a “deal breaker.”

“That’s not the administration’s money,” he said. “That’s our money.”

Union negotiators also reiterated their contention that the district should boost teacher compensation by spending money in contingency funds. Reber noted that the district has more than $7 million that should be available for teachers’ fringe benefits, including insurance.

“We still have a long way to go,” Reber said.

Negotiators on both sides agreed to meet once more before July 11 , when the Lawrence school board will have a new majority: Mary Loveland, Marlene Merrill, Rich Minder and Scott Morgan are departing, while four new members elected in April — Rick Ingram, Shannon Kimball, Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Moore — will join the board.

school board — will be studied by the group as candidates for consolidation: Hillcrest, Pinckney and Sunset Hill schools in central Lawrence, and Cordley, Kennedy and New York schools in eastern Lawrence.

Board members say there isn’t enough money available to keep all schools open and still finance services and programs necessary to provide students with the best possible education.

Now members of the working group will be asked to come up with a plan that the community can embrace.

“We’re advocates for the kids in these schools, not the facilities,” said Tim Laurent, appointed to the group as a representative from Kennedy, where he has a daughter entering fourth grade. “The building is secondary. The most important thing is making sure that these kids have the resources to be successful.”

The group plans to start its working meetings in August,

likely twice a month through January. Former Lawrence City Manager Mike Wildgen will serve as chairman, handling administrative duties.

Recommendations are due to the board in February.

The group’s recommendations are expected to become the foundation for formation of a proposed bond issue, one that would be designed to address physical needs in all district elementary schools.

The bond issue also could include school expansions or even a new school or schools to make consolidation a reality.

Doll acknowledges that any bond issue would be “a tough sell,” but encouraged group members to embrace their new responsibilities and look forward to the coming months.

“It’s going to be fun,” he said.

City, hospital leaders discuss health costs, concerns

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Personal accountability.

Those two words came up time and again during an informal luncheon Thursday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where city leaders learned about the hospital and asked questions like “How can we help control health care costs?”

LMH President and CEO Gene Meyer said studies show that the best way is to practice preventive care instead of acute care.

It’s about changing behaviors: quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, exercising, eating right, and getting vac-

cinations and health screenings.

“It’s all about personal accountability,” he said.

Meyer said the hospital works closely with businesses throughout the county to promote wellness in workplaces. He suggested that the city have a nurse practitioner who is readily available to help its employees — not only when a need arises but also to prevent the need from ever happening.

City leaders in attendance besides Corliss were Commissioners Hugh Carter,

Mike Amyx, Bob Schumm and Mike Dever and Assistant City Manager Cynthia Wagner.

Meyer gave an overview of the hospital and talked about some of his concerns:

Medicaid population Meyer said there already is a shortage of doctors who accept Medicaid in Lawrence, and he expects that it will only be exacerbated with health reform. He expects those patients who don’t find care will end up in the emergency room instead of having a medical home.

Internal medicine doctors Lawrence needs one or

two more internal medicine doctors now. He estimates the city will need 10 more in the next five to seven years.

He also said more primary doctors are referring their elderly patients to internal medicine doctors.

Amyx asked why these doctors are so hard to recruit.

Meyer replied with three main reasons: not enough are being trained, more are becoming hospitalists where they have control over their hours, and salary expectations are high. Practices simply can’t afford to pay the wages they are seeking. LMH is acquiring Internal Medicine Group on July 1 to help recruit doctors.

Health reform Meyer said the Affordable Care Act is the biggest change in health care in 50 years. It will change the system from paying for volume to paying for value. “We welcome that change,” he said.

Health reform will bring financial penalties for: excessive readmissions, hospitalacquired condition, infection rates and patient safety incidents.

Meyer said LMH is preparing for health reform as the rules are still being written.

“Are we ready? No. Is anybody ready? No,” he said.

LMH is hoping to get $1.4 million from the federal gov-

ernment for upgrading to an electronic medical record system. It spent well over that, so it hopes to be reimbursed like the feds have promised.

Dever asked about the price of care at LMH. He’s heard that services cost more at LMH than in Topeka and Kansas City. Meyer said LMH does a cost study every year and LMH’s prices tend to be in the lower 25 percent of regional hospitals.

Ex-KU student admits touching woman inappropriately at fraternity

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A former Kansas University student pleaded guilty to aggravated battery Thursday in a case where a woman alleged she was sexually assaulted at a KU fraternity last year.

Andrew John Hansen, 19, admitted Thursday in the plea Thursday afternoon that he had touched the 18-yearold woman in her vaginal area the night of Aug. 21.

District Judge Peggy Kittel convicted him of the charge.

A trial in the case was scheduled for next week.

Prosecutors initially charged Hansen, who is no longer a KU student, with one count of rape, which carried a more severe punishment.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan said that as part of the plea agreement attorneys would ask Kittel to sentence him to 100 days in jail and serve three years of probation.

The female KU student, who is now 19, reported to Lawrence police that she was at the Delta Chi fraternity house, 1245 West Campus Road, and fell asleep in a room there.

“Once I realized she was nonresponsive, I COURTS stopped,” Hansen told Kittel.

McGowan said prosecutors had evidence the woman woke up and alleged Hansen, who was an acquaintance, was touching her.

Defense attorney Tricia Tenpenny said in court both Hansen and the woman had consumed alcohol that night.

The woman called Lawrence police the next day when she returned to her residence hall, and off icers arrested Hansen after they interviewed him.

Among other conditions of

the plea agreement: Hansen must perform 100 hours of community service, complete a sex offender evaluation and have no contact with the victim.

According to state sentencing guidelines, he could face from 31 months to 11 years in prison, depending on his past criminal history, but both sides indicated they would ask Kittel to sentence him to probation.

McGowan told Kittel prosecutors had notified the victim about the plea agreement in the case.

Even though he won’t be sentenced until Sept. 30, Hansen is scheduled to begin serving his jail sentence later this week.

National fraternity officials have said they will not conclude their own review of the matter until the criminal case is resolved.

bond conditions in place, Thompson said.

“We are very happy the judge took the feelings of the community into consideration,” Thompson said.

King received a $400,000 appeal bond and was released from jail Dec. 10, two days after he was sentenced, Thompson said. An appeal bond allows a sentenced defendant to be released from jail until appeals are complete.

Thompson said King had already been ordered to stay away from the victim and her family, but he said the lack of further conditions on the bond may have been an oversight by the judge, perhaps because of the large bond amount that was set.

Judge Gunnar Sundby oversaw King’s case.

Family honored with $1M bequest to K- State MANHATTAN — A California man who never attended Kansas State University has made a $1 million bequest to the school to honor his many relatives who studied or taught at the Manhattan campus.

Alan Porter is an independent real estate investor in Santa Barbara, Calif. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska and a law degree from the University of Denver.

But Kansas State holds a special place in his heart. His father, Clare Porter, and mother, Georgiana Avery Porter, both earned bachelor’s degrees there, and one uncle received a doctorate in 1940.

His uncle Thomas B. Avery headed the poultry department, and Thomas Avery Jr. was a professor of veterinary medicine.

Porter’s bequest to the College of Agriculture will establish the Porter and Avery Family Agriculture Scholarship.

Immigrants ‘come out’ in push for reform

By Kate Brumback Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA — Eighteen-yearold Dulce Guerrero kept quiet about being an illegal immigrant until earlier this year, when she became upset after a traffic stop that landed her mother in jail for two nights.

The arrest came as Georgia lawmakers were crafting what would become one of the nation’s toughest immigration crackdowns, and Guerrero feared her mother would be deported.

“I feel like that was my breaking point, when my mom was in jail,” said Guerrero, who came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 2.

“I felt like, well, that’s it, it can’t get any worse than this.

My mother has been to jail.”

Guerrero f irst publicly announced her immigration status at a protest in March, and now she’s organizing a rally under the tutelage of more experienced activists who are themselves only a few years older. The high-stakes movement of young illegal immigrants declaring that they’re “undocumented and unafraid” got a boost this week when a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist revealed he’s been living in the country illegally.

Guerrero is the chief organizer of a rally set for Tuesday at the Georgia State Capitol for high school-age illegal immigrants to tell their stories. The recent high school graduate and others hope to draw attention to the plight of the hundreds of thousands of young people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents.

Already around the country, efforts by young activists have ranged from rallies and letterwriting to sit-ins and civil disobedience, drawing inspiration from civil rights demonstrations decades ago, with the aim of forcing the federal government to reform rules for immigrants in their situation.

In one of the most high-profile declarations yet, former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas used an ABC News interview and a New York Times Magazine article to announce Wednesday that he is an illegal immigrant from the Philippines.

“It’s very exciting,” said 25year-old Mohammad Abdollahi, a veteran protester who’s helping Guerrero. Vargas’ revelation “shows that we exist in all walks of life. Folks don’t realize how American we are,” he said.

Some in the community fear Vargas’ admission that he used false documents to get a driver’s license and a job could invite backlash, but it illustrates the difficult reality for illegal immigrants seeking to pursue their goals, Abdollahi said.

Those who come forward make themselves vulnerable, but it’s no guarantee they’ll have to leave the U.S. right away. Some have been deported despite broad support from their communities asking that they be allowed to stay. Others, like Georgia college student and cause celebre Jessica Colotl, have won at least temporary reprieves.

Mandeep Chahal, an honors student at the University of California, Davis, and her mother were granted a stay in their deportation proceedings Tuesday after Chahal, 20, campaigned on Facebook to avoid being sent back to India.

Proponents of stricter enforcement of immigration laws often concede that young people in this situation are among the most sympathetic cases but that legalizing them still raises problems.

“Our own American young adult college grads are in dire straits in the job market — and particularly disproportionately Hispanic and black Americans — so what the DREAM Act does is adds potentially a million, two million more people to compete legally in that job market,” said Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA, which pushes for tighter immigration control. “So, as compelling as the case of these DREAM students is, we have to acknowledge that legalizing them does actually victimize our own young adults.”

Senators demand probe on nuclear safety

By Jeff Donn Associated Press Writer

Three U.S. senators, alarmed by findings of an Associated Press investigation about aging problems at the nation’s nuclear power plants, asked Thursday for a congressional investigation of safety standards and federal oversight at the facilities.

The request by Democrats Barbara Boxer of California and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and independent Bernard Sanders of Vermont builds on increased public concern about nuclear safety in recent months — an outcry unlike anything since the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.

Public interest first spiked after the March accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan. Concern has been heightened this week as the AP began releasing the results of a yearlong investigation into aging related safety problems at the 104 reactors operating in the United States.

That’s led activists, politicians, critics and safety

AP Photo/Nuclear Regulatory Commission

THIS APRIL 2006 PHOTO MADE AVAILABLE by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in response to a public records request by The Associated Press shows a badly rusted valve in a containment spraying system that was initially a focus of concern as workers tried to find the source of leaks at the closed Indian Point 1 reactor in New York state. watchdogs to say they hope to turn the public focus more sharply onto the industry in America and broader regulatory problems at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. One after another, they said they hope the result will be tougher relicensing and safety standards, safer storage of spent fuel and better disaster planning.

Janet Tauro, of Brick, N.J., co-founder of Grandmothers, Mothers, and More for Energy Safety who lives near the Oyster Creek nuclear plant, said the latest developments have led her to conclude “the light is really starting to shine on a very closed regulatory agency.”

Senators Boxer, Whitehouse and Sanders asked for

the oversight investigation by the Government Accountability Office. Boxer chairs the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

New Jersey’s two Democratic senators, Frank R. Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, made a similar request of the GAO earlier this week.

In recent months, public anxiety over nuclear power has “peaked incredibly,” said engineer Paul Blanch, an industry whistleblower who later returned to work on improving safety. He is now fighting relicensing applications at four sites.

“I was fighting the world, and now I’m only fighting half the world,” Blanch said.

Visits to the website of Fairewinds Associates, a nuclear safety consultant in Burlington, Vt., have exploded from about 80 a day to 7,000 since the Japanese accident, according to chief engineer, Arnie Gundersen. Site visits rose about another 10 percent when the AP series started on Monday.

The AP’s four-part investigative series shows that

government and industry have been working in tandem to weaken safety standards to keep aging reactors within the rules. The series also found that there have been leaks of radioactive tritium, often from corroded underground piping, at three-quarters of U.S. commercial nuclear power sites.

In a GAO report released Tuesday by Democratic Reps. Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts and Peter Welch of Vermont, the watchdog agency concluded that nuclear power plant operators haven’t figured out how to quickly f ind the underground leaks, which often go undetected for years.

The NRC has said it disagrees with AP’s conclusions, but welcomes the attention the stories have generated to nuclear plant safety. The agency defended its standards and approach to safety.

The industry’s Nuclear Energy Institute criticized AP’s overall findings and “selective, misleading reporting” on U.S. nuclear power plant safety.

Non-OPEC states to release reserve oil

BRITISH AUTHOR J.K. ROWLING poses for photographers as she announces her new website project, Pottermore, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on Thursday. For the Pottermore project Rowling has written new material about the characters, places and objects in the Harry Potter stories, which will be released through the site in electronic form.

Harry Potter series turns into e-books

By Jill Lawless Associated Press Writer

LONDON — Harry Potter battled the forces of evil and now is set to conquer the web — coming to e-books in a groundbreaking deal that has delighted fans but alarmed the book industry that helped make creator J.K. Rowling a billionaire.

Rowling announced Thursday that her seven novels about the boy wizard will be sold for the first time as ebooks, beginning in October, exclusively through a new online portal to her wizarding world called “Pottermore.”

The deal brings longtime ebook refusnik Rowling into the digital fold, but comes as a bitter potion to established booksellers, who will be shut out of the latest chapter of a vastly profitable saga.

“You can’t hold back progress,” Rowling told reporters. “E-books are here and they are here to stay.”

The Potter novels will be available as audiobooks and ebooks in multiple languages, initially including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. The “Pottermore” website, meanwhile, is an immersive online environment that combines elements of a role-playing game and a digital encyclope-

dia with social networking and an online store.

By selling directly to fans, Rowling is bypassing established online retailers like Amazon, although the creators of “Pottermore” say the books will be compatible with popular e-readers including Amazon’s Kindle, Sony’s Reader and Apple’s iPad. Tom Turcan, chief operating officer of the new venture, Pottermore Ltd., said Rowling wanted “to make the books available to everybody, not to make them available only to people who own a particular set of devices, or tethered to a particular set of platforms.”

Phil Jones, deputy editor of The Bookseller, a Londonbased trade magazine, said cutting out retailers was a gamble — but if anyone can pull that off, it would be Rowling. The 45-year-old British author has retained the electronic publishing rights to her books, which have sold 450 million copies around the world in paper form.

“Only Rowling could do this,” he said. “I don’t think any other author could launch their own site and get fans to buy e-books through it. And I think she will succeed. I think she will get hordes of fans on the site and sell hundreds of thousands of e-books.”

NEW YORK — The United States and other nations that depend on oil imports said Thursday they will release and sell 60 million barrels of crude from emergency stocks in an effort to ease the strain high oil prices are putting on the global economy.

The release by the International Energy Agency, a group of more than two dozen countries, covers only what the world uses roughly every 16 hours. But it was enough to send oil prices lower, at least for the moment.

In addition to helping the struggling economies of the U.S. and Europe, analysts said the move was meant as a rebuke to OPEC, which has refused to increase oil production to bring down prices.

It will be the largest sale of crude ever from world strategic reserves and only the third since the IEA was formed in 1974 after the Arab oil embargo. The IEA released oil in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina

● Owners of cars that were new or redesigned for the 2011 model year are reporting more quality problems, partly because of glitches with the navigation screens and other technology packed into their dashboards.

J.D. Power and Associates released its annual survey of new vehicle quality Thursday.

Lexus, Honda and Acura were the top performers. Dodge was the worst-performing brand.

The survey questioned 78,000 people about problems with 2011 model-year vehicles in the first 90 days of ownership. Owners reported an average of 107 problems per 100 vehicles. That jumped to 122 problems for cars that were new or redesigned in 2011, up 10 percent from the 2010 model year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Desperate to boost employment and their bleak poll numbers, the White House and Democrats in Congress are turning to a Republican idea for stimulating the economy: tax cuts.

With little chance of passing a bill to stimulate the economy through more government spending, some Democrats now want to give employers a break on their Social Security payroll taxes and possibly extend a break for workers.

The most prominent idea would continue and maybe expand the payroll tax cut for individuals which was enacted in December and expires at the end of the year. Some Senate Democrats also want to revive an expired payroll tax holiday for companies

Layoffs, housing data show chronic problem

W A S H I N G T O N ( AP ) — Sour reports Thursday on the number of people who sought unemployment benefits and buyers of new homes illustrate what Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged Wednesday: Many factors weighing on the economy are proving to be more chronic than first imagined.

Applications for unemployment benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 429,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the biggest jump in a month and marked the 11th straight week that applications have been above 400,000. Elevated jobless benefit claims signal a worsening job market.

New-home sales fell in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 319,000, the Commerce Department said.

That’s fewer than half the 700,000 that economists say must be sold to sustain a healthy housing market. Sales of new homes have fallen 18 percent in the two years since the recession ended. Last year was the worst for newhome sales on records dating back half a century.

Stocks tumbled more than 200 points after the weaker data on housing and layoffs were released. It came one day after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth and unemployment for the rest of the year.

But news of an agreement

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered a negative outlook on the economy, suggests that industrialized countries are grasping for solutions. He said Americans should expect the price of gasoline to fall, but not dramatically, in the coming weeks.

“Fifteen or 20 cents a gallon of relief is not enough to make people feel good about their job prospects or losses on the stock market or our general economic slowdown,” he said.

IEA and the White House said they were acting to increase the supply of oil available during the peak summer driving season.

“We are taking this action in response to the ongoing loss of crude oil due to supply disruptions in Libya and other countries and their impact on the global economic recovery,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said.

Gas prices at the pump have already fallen for 20 days in a row. They were down another penny Wednesday, to a nationwide average of $3.61 per gallon, according to the AAA Daily

Fuel Gauge Report. That’s about 21 cents lower than a month ago.

The timing of the release brought criticism from business groups and Republican lawmakers, who accused President Barack Obama of playing politics with the country’s oil reserves, which are intended to address emergencies.

The amount of oil to be released, 2 million barrels per day, represents just 2.2 percent of daily global oil demand.

The IEA’s move comes two weeks after OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, decided during a tense meeting not to increase oil production to meet rising demand. OPEC is made up primarily of Middle Eastern and North African nations.

OPEC countries are divided over whether to increase supply. Iran and Venezuela want to keep production stable in hopes of keeping prices — and revenue — high. Saudi Arabia wants to increase production, fearing that high oil prices will hurt the global economy and reduce oil demand over the long term.

and in 1990 and 1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

Half the oil will come from reserves in the U.S. Refiners who turn crude into gasoline will be able to bid on the extra oil and have it shipped to them from the salt caverns along the Gulf Coast where it is stored.

The IEA said high oil demand and shortfalls of oil production caused by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa threatened to “undermine the fragile global economic recovery.”

The uprising in Libya has taken 1.5 million barrels of oil per day off of the market — half a million barrels less than will be released each day by the IEA. The price of oil rose to nearly $114 per barrel in at the end of April, a level not seen since the summer of 2008.

Since then, however, oil prices had fallen considerably, and analysts questioned how much relief the move would provide the economy, and for how long.

One analyst, Andrew Lipow, said the timing of the announcement, a day after

by the 17-country eurozone, the International Monetary Fund and Greece on a new austerity plan sent stocks higher Thursday afternoon, helping the Dow Jones industrial average recover most of its earlier losses. The Dow closed nearly 60 points lower.

The Fed cut its economic growth forecast to between 2.7 percent and 2.9 percent this year, down from its range of 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent in April.

The Fed also raised its unemployment rate estimate slightly, saying it would not fall below 8.6 percent this year.

Economists say they are worried by conflicting explanations for the more downbeat view.

In its policy statement, the Fed blamed the darker outlook in part on temporary factors.

High gas prices have forced consumers to spend less on discretionary items, such as appliances and vacations, which help boost growth. And supply disruptions from Japan’s natural disasters have slowed manufacturing growth. The Fed said those problems should abate by the fall, and growth would pick up.

But when pressed by reporters, Bernanke acknowledged that some of the troubles are stronger and more persistent. He singled out the weaknesses in the financial sector and the housing market.

And he said those problems could linger for some time.

that hire unemployed workers.

Sen. Charles Schumer, DN.Y., said gloomy unemployment reports are a wake-up call that the economic recovery is on shaky ground. New poll numbers also show that more and more Americans are unhappy with the way President Barack Obama and Democrats in general are handling the economy and unemployment.

Some 59 percent of adults said they disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy and unemployment, a new high, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Americans are about evenly divided on which party they trust to do a better job on the economy, though Democrats have lost their edge on handling taxes,

according to the poll.

Democrats are eager to turn those numbers around as they head into the 2012 election cycle. But Republicans aren’t eager to help them, even if it means passing up the opportunity to enact tax cuts.

Schumer said that tax cuts are not the first choice of

many Democrats — some would prefer a package of spending on infrastructure and roads.

“By putting it on the table, it shows how willing we are to work with the Republicans to create jobs,” he said. “It’s pro-business, it’s a tax cut, and many Republicans have been for it in the past.”

Republicans bail on budget talks Obama, Boehner expected to take direct part in discussions

By David Espo Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Republicans pulled out of debt-reduction talks led by Vice President Joe Biden with a flourish on Thursday, blaming Democrats for demanding tax increases as part of a deal rather than accepting more than $1 trillion in cuts to Medicare and other government programs.

“Let me be clear: Tax hikes are off the table,” said House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio.

Boehner spoke shortly after the House GOP second-incommand, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, announced he would not attend a planned negotiating session and said it is “time for President Obama to speak clearly and resolve the tax issue.”

White House spokesman Jay Carney quickly obliged, while announcing that the talks were “in abeyance.” He said Obama supports a “balanced approach” to debt reduction.

“I would point that the president supports a balanced approach,” Carney said. “He does not support an approach

that provides for a $200,000 tax cut for millionaires and billionaires paid for by a $6,000 a year hike in expenses and costs for sen- Cantor iors.”

Numerous officials have said in recent days that Obama and Boehner would soon take a more public role in the negotiations, as time grows short for confronting politically vexing questions over taxes and Medicare and other benefit programs.

As a result, it appeared that the day’s events marked an eruption of political maneuvering rather than a blow-up that would jeopardize the success of negotiations.

“The goal of these talks was to report our findings back to our respective leaders,” Biden said in a statement. “The next phase is in the hands of those leaders, who need to determine the scope of an agreement that can tackle the problem and attract bipartisan support. For now the talks are in abeyance as we await that guidance.”

In general, the negotiations are aimed at producing legislation to cut future deficits while simultaneously lifting the $14.3 trillion limit on Treasury borrowing.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has said that without an increase in the debt limit by

Aug. 2, the United States faces a first-ever default, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the economy.

Carney told reporters that B oehner had met unannounced with Obama at the White House Wednesday evening. The meeting was at the president’s initiative, and the f irst known encounter between the two men since their widely publicized round of golf last weekend.

Nor was it likely Democrats were taken by surprise by the day’s events, since Cantor informed Biden of his plans before making any public announcement.

Adding to the intrigue, one GOP leadership aide said Cantor did not inform Boehner of his plan to withdraw from the talks until shortly before he did so. Nor was Cantor aware of Boehner’s trip to the White House the evening before, this aide said.

For his part, Cantor said the secretive Biden-led talks had “established a blueprint” for agreement on significant cuts in spending, but had reached an impasse because of the Democratic demand for taxes.

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the other Republican participant, also said he would not attend the scheduled session, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell spoke in unusually biting terms of Democratic demands for new government spending as

Captured Boston mob boss was hiding in plain sight

By Christina Hoag and Thomas Watkins Associated Press Writers

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — As the FBI chased leads on two continents, Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger spent nearly all of his 16 years on the lam in this quiet seaside city, passing himself off as just another elderly retiree, albeit one who kept a .357 Magnum and more than 100 rounds of ammunition in his modest apartment.

Bulger — the FBI’s mostwanted man and a feared underworld figure linked to 19 murders — was captured Wednesday after one of the biggest manhunts in U.S. history. His undoing may have been his impeccably groomed girlfriend.

Earlier this week, after years of frustration, the FBI put out a series of daytime TV announcements with photos of Bulger’s blond livein companion, Catherine Greig. The announcements pointed out that Greig was known to frequent beauty salons and have her teeth cleaned once a month.

Two days later, the campaign produced a tip that led agents to the two-bedroom apartment three blocks from the Pacific Ocean where Bulger and Greig lived, authorities said. The FBI would not give any details about the tip.

The 81-year-old boss of South Boston’s vicious Winter Hill Gang — a man who authorities say would not hesitate to shoot someone between the eyes — was lured outside the building and captured without resistance. Greig, 60, was also arrested.

Neighbors were stunned to learn they had been living in the same building as the man who was the model for Jack Nicholson’s ruthless crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie “The Departed.”

The arrest closed one chapter in a case that scandalized the FBI. Bulger fled in 1995 after a retired FBI agent who had recruited him as a government informant tipped him off that he was about to be indicted. Soon it was discovered that the Boston FBI had a corrupt relationship with its underworld informants, protecting mob figures for decades and allowing them to commit murders as long as they were supplying useful information.

“Although there are those who have doubted our resolve at times over the

We explored every possibility, and when those leads ran out, we did not sit back and wait for the phone to ring.”

While Bulger’s capture is the end of a long, frustrating search for the FBI, it could expose the bureau to even more scandal.

One of Bulger’s lieutenants testified in 2002 that Bulger boasted that he had corrupted six FBI agents and more than 20 Boston police officers, keeping them loyal by stuffing envelopes with cash at Christmastime.

On Thursday, more than a dozen FBI agents carried out bags of evidence from the Santa Monica apartment while neighbors and even some tourists from Boston watched. Authorities said they seized a variety of weapons, including the Magnum, and a large amount of cash.

The FBI “just started a new campaign in the Boston press a couple days ago. We were all laughing how nothing would come of it,” said Ed Dente, who was vacationing from Boston.

The new FBI announce-

ments, which targeted 14 areas where agents thought Bulger might be, did not include the Los Angeles area. Instead, they were broadcast in San Diego, San Francisco and a dozen other locations.

On Thursday afternoon, Bulger appeared with his girlfriend in federal court in Los Angeles and was ordered returned to Massachusetts to face charges after he waived his right to a hearing.

He faces federal charges that include murder, conspiracy to commit murder, narcotics distribution, extortion and money laundering. Greig was charged with harboring a fugitive.

Many people in the Southern California neighborhood where the crime boss lived were not surprised that Bulger could blend in in Santa Monica, a densely populated beachside suburb of Los Angeles where aging, ponytailed hippies, bike-riding environmentalists, Hollywood actors and others regularly rub shoulders with retirees, but usually exchange no more than pleasantries.

“This is the perfect place to hide,” said Maura McCormick, who lives in an apartment building next door. “Nobody bothers anyone here.”

part of a debt-reduction deal.

“What planet are they on?”

McConnell wondered aloud.

While accepting a need to raise the debt limit, Boehner has said that deficit cuts must exceed the size of any increase in borrowing authority — a position that neither Obama nor any other Democrat has challenged.

The president and Biden were meeting with House Democratic leaders at the White House when Cantor made his announcement.

One of the Democratic negotiators, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, said at a news conference that Republicans “are playing with fire and really putting the very fragile economy at greater threat by playing the games that we’ve been seeing.”

In several weeks of talks, Biden and congressional negotiators had largely completed a review of the federal budget, focusing at first on areas where the two sides were amenable to cuts.

They quickly identified higher pension contributions for federal employees as one area of savings, and cuts in farm programs and student loan subsidies as others.

Additional items include a federal auction of parts of the spectrum and the sale of surplus federal property. Discretionary programs, which bore the brunt of an earlier agreement to cut spending by $38 billion, would be ticketed for additional cuts.

Hacked road sign warns of zombies FLORENCE, KY. — The zombie menace has once again found its way onto a highway sign.

After pranksters switched the message on an electronic road sign, motorists in northern Kentucky were warned this week to watch for zombies along the Interstate 71-75 corridor.

The usual message about upcoming roadwork was changed to: “Nightly lane closures, zombies ahead.”

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokeswoman Nancy Wood said the Transportation Cabinet learned about the new message midmorning Thursday and turned it off until it can be fixed. Wood said officials are not amused by the prank.

Report: Even toddlers need to fight the fat

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — A food pyramid just for the under-2 set?

Contrary to popular belief, children don’t usually outgrow their baby fat — and a new report urges steps to help prevent babies, toddlers and preschoolers from getting too pudgy too soon.

That’s a growing problem: Already, one in five preschoolers — 2- to 5-year-olds — is overweight or obese.

Topping the list of proposed changes: better guidelines to help parents and caregivers know just how much toddlers should eat as they move from baby food to bigger-kid fare.

And making sure preschoolers get at least 15 minutes of physical activity for every hour they spend in child care.

Thursday’s recommendations, from the Institute of Medicine, aren’t about putting the very young on diets.

But those early pounds can lead to lasting bad effects on their health as children grow, says the report.

“It’s a huge opportunity to instill good habits at a time when you don’t have to change old ones,” said Leann Birch, director of Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Childhood Obesity Research, who chaired the IOM panel.

Consider: Babies drink

milk until they’re full and then turn away. But children as young as 2 or 3 are sensitive to portion size, important in not inadvertently training them to overeat.

“If you give them larger portions, they eat more,” Birch explained.

Pediatricians generally give pretty explicit directions on how to feed babies. And the nation’s dietary guidelines include a special section for preschoolers, including information that a portion size generalHEALTH ly is about 1 tablespoon of each food type per year of age.

But overall, those national guidelines are aimed at ages 2 and older — though surveys show even very young children eat too few of the fruits and vegetables they need. So the institute called on the government to create consumer-friendly dietary guidelines for birth to age 2.

That would capture the “dramatic dietary transition that occurs, from consuming one single food to, by the time they’re 2, ordering up things from McDonald’s and, we hope, having also learned to eat a lot of healthy foods,” Birch said.

Karzai surrounding himself with anti-U.S. advisers

By Kathy Gannon Associated Press Writer

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — President Hamid Karzai is increasingly isolated and has surrounded himself with an inner circle of advisers who are urging him to move closer to Iran and Pakistan as the U.S. draws down its role in Afghanistan, several friends and aides tell The Associated Press.

Their advice is echoed in Karzai’s antiWest rhetoric, which has heightened both in his public speeches and in private. He met recently with Iran’s Karzai defense minister, and constantly cautions against trusting the U.S. to have Afghanistan’s best interests at heart.

Several of Karzai’s close friends and advisers now speak of a president whose doors have closed to all but one narrow faction and who refuses to listen to dissenting opinions. They say people allowed to see the president are vetted by an inner circle of religious conservatives who belong to a nonviolent wing of Hizb-i-Islami, a radical Islamic group whose relentless attacks on American soldiers forced the U.S. to withdraw from bases in northeastern Kunar and Nuristan provinces.

The group’s leader, Gul-

buddin Hekmatyar, was once an American ally but has since been declared a terrorist by the United States.

Although Hekmatyar shares the Taliban’s goal of an Islamic regime, his men have also fought Taliban militants over the past year, and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is said to despise him.

When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, Hekmatyar spent five years in exile in Iran.

Inside Afghanistan’s presidential palace, Iran, Pakistan and China are most often referred to as reliable allies, according to Karzai’s friends and advisers. Last year, Karzai openly acknowledged taking “bags” of money from Iran to finance his administration.

“A lot of Afghans are very concerned about the direction the country is taking, moving away from the international community ... toward a more conservative practice in which the religious people and warlords have more power,” Human Rights of Afghanistan Commissioner Nader Nadery said.

“Consistently his aides are pushing him toward Iran and Pakistan,” Nadery said. “All those who are managing and controlling his schedule, providing appointments, all see the advantages of breaking with the international community.”

Karzai seemed to go out of his way to snub the United States in the days leading up to President Barack Obama’s

address Wednesday announcing an initial withdrawal of 30,000 U.S. soldiers by next summer.

He stood shoulder to shoulder this week with Ahmad Vahidi, the first Iranian defense minister to visit Afghanistan since Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution. He also announced he would attend an anti-terrorism conference in Tehran later this month, while at the same time questioning the sincerity of U.S. and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan.

“His timing is confusing,” Nadery said. “It is not wise for a politician to come out with such statements at a time when the troop contribution to Afghanistan is being hotly debated in Washington.”

One adviser whose friendship with Karzai spans decades said he had consistently warned the president against engaging in public battles with the United States, urging closed-door diplomacy instead.

Six months ago, he says an angry Karzai called him to the presidential palace.

“The president said, ‘You are always saying be careful, be careful, telling me what is wrong.’ And then he told me to never call him again. And since then I have not been able to see him and I am still an ‘adviser,”’ he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he says he still values his friendship with Karzai.

“He will always be my friend but I am worried about him.”

Top U.S. military officers see risk in Afghanistan withdrawal W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The nation’s top military officer and its top diplomat made clear Thursday that President Barack Obama rejected the advice of his generals in choosing a quicker path to winding down the war in Afghanistan.

The Obama troop withdrawal plan, widely interpreted as marking the beginning of the end of the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan, drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle on Capitol Hill.

Some Republicans decried it as undercutting the military mission at a critical stage of the war, while many Democrats called it too timid.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took a swipe at Obama from the Senate floor, questioning the timing of his troop pullout plan.

“Just when they are one year away from turning over a battered and broken enemy in both southern and eastern Afghanistan to our Afghan partners — the president has now decided to deny them the forces that our commanders believe they need to accomplish their objective,” McCain said.

Obama announced Wednesday night that he will pull 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by December and another 23,000 by the end of next summer.

On Thursday, the president spoke at New York’s Fort Drum to troops and commanders of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. Its headquarters staff is in southern Afghanistan and its soldiers have been among the most frequently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade.

Obama, perhaps responding to the flank of criticism from the right, said that he is not pulling home troops “pre-

“We’re going to do it in a steady way to make sure that the gains that all of you helped to bring about are going to be sustained,” he said. “Because of you, we’re now taking the fight to the Taliban, instead of the Taliban bringing the fight to us. And because of you, there are signs that the Taliban may be interested in figuring out a political settlement, which ultimately is going to be critical for consolidating that country.”

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the House Armed Services Committee that he supports the Obama plan, although he had recommended a less aggressive drawdown schedule.

Obama’s approach adds risk to the military mission, Mullen said. But he added, “It’s manageable risk.”

Mexico sends camera into unexplored Mayan tomb MEXICO CITY — Researchers have lowered a small camera into a previously unexplored early Mayan tomb at the Palenque archaeological site in southern Mexico, revealing an intact funeral chamber, apparent offerings and red-painted wall murals.

Footage of the approximately 1,500-year-old tomb taken by the small, remote-controlled camera show a series of nine figures depicted in black

on a vivid, blood-red background. Vases and jade ornaments can be seen on the floor of the small chamber.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History said Thursday archaeologists have known a tomb existed at the site since 1999, but they had been unable to enter it because the pyramid standing above it is unstable and entering the chamber could have damaged the murals.

Afghanistan, said later that he, too, had recommended a more gradual withdrawal — as had Marine Gen. James Mattis, who as commander of U.S. Central Command is Petraeus’ immediate boss and overseer of all U.S. military operations in the greater Mideast.

Petraeus, appearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is considering his nomination to become CIA director, had a telling exchange with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. Levin asked the general whether he would resign if he felt he could not support Obama’s decision.

“I’m not a quitter,” Petraeus replied. “This is something I have thought a bit about. I don’t think it’s the place for a commander to actually consider that kind of step unless you are in a very, very dire situation.”

In the same exchange, Petraeus appeared to suggest that he had vigorously opposed the timeline that the president chose. Levin asked Petraeus whether he felt comfortable supporting the plan now.

Petraeus wouldn’t sign up for that without qualification.

He implied he remains uneasy about the decision but said he does not think the plan is destined to fail.

Petraeus said he was returning to Kabul today to work with his staff on how to implement the Obama plan.

Obama’s plan will leave 68,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the drawdown. Most of those troops would gradually come home over the next two years, and the U.S. plans to close out its combat role in Afghanistan by 2015.

Syrian troops push to Turkish border, villagers run GUVECCI, TURKEY (AP) — Syrian troops pushed to the Turkish border Thursday in their sweep against a 3-month-old pro-democracy movement, sending panicked refugees, including children, rushing across the frontier to safe havens in Turkey.

The European Union, meanwhile, announced it was slapping new sanctions on the Syrian regime because of the “gravity of the situation,” in which the Syrian opposition says 1,400 people have been killed in a relentless government crackdown. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Syria to pull its troops back from the border.

Syrian soldiers patrolled in military vehicles and on foot around the border village of Khirbet al-Jouz, according to Associated Press journalists who watched their movements from the Turkish side.

The Local Coordinating Committees, which track the Syrian protest movement, said residents reported tanks had entered the village and snipers were spotted on rooftops.

Syria has banned foreign journalists and restricted local media, making it nearly impossible to independently confirm the accounts.

More than 11,000 Syrians are housed or seeking shelter in Turkish refugee camps, including 600 who crossed over on Thursday, the Turkish Red Crescent said. The refugees came in a convoy of about 20 minibuses and some rushed on foot across the border, to be met by Turkish soldiers and escorted to nearby camps.

Some refugees glanced behind them as they crossed into Turkey, as though fearful of being chased. Later, another convoy of nine minibuses was seen ferrying refugees to the Turkish camps.

Speed, safety Kansas motorists should keep safety and gas consumption in mind when some speed limits rise next month.

O

n July 1, the speed limit will increase from 70 mph to 75 mph on many freeways in Kansas. Almost all of the Kansas Turnpike — from the Kansas-Oklahoma border to the Kansas Highway 7 junction in Wyandotte County — will be 75 mph, as will most of Interstates 70 and 35.

In all, 807 miles of roadway will have a 75 mph speed limit.

Proponents say the change will help commerce and tourism because truck traffic and vacationers will enjoy the higher speeds and the ability to arrive at their destinations more quickly.

The routes were picked by a task force made up of Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Turnpike Authority officials. They decided to keep Kansas Highway 10 at 70 mph.

Legislation to raise the limits was passed and signed into law this year. The measure received little, if any, public opposition.

But two concerns remain, and it will be the responsibility of individual motorists to address them.

The first is safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety cites studies that show states with increased speed limits also saw an increase in traffic fatalities. The slower the speed, the easier it is to react and avoid a collision.

Also, a 75 mph speed limit doesn’t mean you should drive 83 mph. It is a violation in Kansas to speed as little as 1 mph over the posted limit.

However, speeding violations of 10 mph or less in 55 to 75 mph zones don’t go on a person’s driving record as a moving violation, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Second, driving faster costs more. If you are willing to drive 75 mph, know that each 5 mph over 60 mph is the equivalent of paying an additional 30 cents per gallon of gas, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

So, be a smart, safe and courteous driver.

Enjoy the freedom to drive 75 mph, but be mindful of fuel consumption and safety as you watch the Kansas scenery fly by.

Diplomacy difficult but necessary W A S H I N G T O N — “Peace is at hand,” Henry Kissinger famously announced in October 1972 after a seeming breakthrough in Vietnam negotiations. But it wasn’t at hand. It took three more months to complete the Paris Peace Accords, which collapsed in 1975 when North Vietnam overran Saigon.

This Vietnam history is a caution against premature optimism about diplomatic solutions to deeply embedded conflicts, such as the one in Afghanistan. But the fact remains, as is so often stated, that there is no military solution to such conflicts. The challenge is creating a dialogue among people who profoundly mistrust each other — and averting a pellmell civil war.

President Obama embraced the logic of a political settlement for Afghanistan with his speech Wednesday night. With Osama bin Laden dead, Obama can claim that America’s core mission of combating al-Qaida is succeeding.

He can bring some troops home, and also step up diplomatic negotiations with the Taliban to reach a broad peace deal by 2014.

Obama’s strategy for the Afghanistan negotiations highlights two factors that could also be relevant in the increasingly messy conflicts in Libya and Syria.

First, the dialogue must be sponsored by people inside the country that’s facing internal strife.

The U.S. may encourage contacts, but the process has to be “Afghanled,” or “Libyan-led,” or “Syrian-

strategy for “theObama’s Afghanistan

negotiations highlights two factors that could also be relevant in the increasingly messy conflicts in Libya and Syria.”

led.” Second, this dialogue requires a regional framework, so that the combatants don’t turn to meddling neighbors for help.

America’s secret contacts with the Taliban have made progress partly because President Hamid Karzai wants them to succeed and, perhaps more important, because India, Pakistan, Russia and China are also supporting the outreach process — with silent acquiescence from Iran, too. This regional framework is the real exit ramp that will allow withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Let’s think about how this diplomatic model might apply to Libya and Syria. In both cases, the insurgents are seen in the West as the “good guys,” battling corrupt,

autocratic leaders. Personally, I wish that both Moammar Gadhafi and Bashar al-Assad would give up power tomorrow. But that doesn’t seem in the cards: Both leaders have shown they’re willing to kill thousands of their citizens to hang on, and the rebel movements in both countries seem too weak to displace the dictators by force. Outside military intervention may seem tempting, but it isn’t working very well in Libya, and might fare even worse in Syria.

The right goal in Libya and Syria (as in Afghanistan) is a transition to an inclusive, democratic government — with as little bloodshed along the way as possible. The alternative to such a settlement is a protracted conflict that could mean massacres of civilians and, on present evidence, a bloody stalemate that further destabilizes the region.

It’s distasteful to contemplate dialogue with leaders such as Gadhafi and Assad who, to put it bluntly, have blood on their hands. But this approach is worth exploring if it can foster a transition to a democratic government — where the autocrats cede power to a coalition that includes reformist elements of the old regime and the opposition.

An emissary who is close to Gadhafi’s inner circle has outlined in recent interviews a Libyan formula for transition. He proposes a gradual transfer of power to a new government that would unite the rebel Transitional National Coun-

cil with “reconcilables” from the regime. Gadhafi himself would quit Tripoli and give up power, but this would be an outcome of negotiations, rather than a precondition. State Department officials are skeptical, but they should test the emissary’s ability to deliver.

The Syrian case is also complicated by the blood-soaked history of the regime. In a speech Monday, Assad proposed a national dialogue, in which the democratic opposition would select 100 participants to meet with government representatives — and plan elections and a new constitution. Given Assad’s disappointing record, it’s doubtful that he can or will deliver. But it makes sense to test his offer — not least because such a process would terrify Assad’s patrons in Iran. If the dialogue fails, the Syrian demonstrations will be all the more potent, and Assad’s hold weaker.

These internal dialogues should be bolstered by regional support, as with Afghanistan.

The right shepherds for Libya are its newly democratic neighbors, Egypt and Tunisia, backed by France, Britain and Germany. In Syria, the obvious mediator-inwaiting is Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, backed by the Gulf countries.

Here’s the point: The Arab Spring should not turn into a summer of blood, if there are diplomatic alternatives.

Efforts to raise $500,000 through private donations had come up short, so a proposal to build a recreation center in Holcom Park was going back to the ballot.

YEARS Since the private fund drive had begun six AGO months earlier, only $280,000 had been IN 1986 raised. Not only was that amount short of the goal, but construction costs had risen since cost estimates had been made in July 1984. City commissioners agreed the best way to pursue the project was to ask voters to approve a $1 million bond issue.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for June 24, 1911: "Someone entered the Sneegass second hand store last night and stole three YEARS .22 caliber rifles. The officers have a clue AGO as to the guilty parties and are at work IN 1911 on the case. Yesterday afternoon the officers received a call from the Kennedy & Ernst Hardware store in the 800 block. Someone was seen tampering with the rear entrance. The officers went down and immediately came to the conclusion that there would be a robbery of a hardware store in the near future. They patrolled the back alleys the best they could and had made one trip around when they received a hurry-up call from West Lawrence. When they returned they made another trip and upon arriving at the Sneegass store found where it had been entered. Footprints were found in the alley at the rear of the store where the thief had jumped from the back porch onto the ground.... The call from the west side was that the man who has been so active in that part of late was seen in the back yard at 703 Indiana street.

The police went out as quickly as possible but their man had fled and they were unable to find any trace of him."

— David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

News slant making media irrelevant Is there a profit-making business — other than TV networks and The New York Times — that so disrespects its audience it works overtime to offend them?

What other business metaphorically flips the bird to those who don’t subscribe to their social, cultural and political worldview?

That is precisely what big media does to a large number of potential viewers and subscribers.

Three recent examples: 1) The inexplicable editing of the Pledge of Allegiance during the opening of last Sunday’s U.S. Open on NBC; 2) the naming of ultra-liberal Norah O’Donnell of MSNBC as CBS News’ new chief White House correspondent, in time for the 2012 election; and 3) last Sunday’s New York Times, which appeared to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington Blade, a leading newspaper for the LGBT community.

Let’s take them one at a time.

Someone had to decide that “under God” and “indivisible” were extraneous and needed to be cut from the U.S. Open’s patriotic montage. Who was that person?

What are his/her ideological and religious beliefs? What editor or manager decided it was OK to air the edited Pledge of Allegiance?

Didn’t anyone at NBC, which later apologized on air to “those of you who were offended by it,” anticipate the reaction? Will heads roll?

Probably not. Compare this to comedian Tracy Morgan’s crude remarks about gay people in a stand-up act not aired on NBC. His colleagues roundly denounced him, and Tina Fey, creator/star of NBC’s “30 Rock,” suggested that without his gay and lesbian co-workers, Morgan “would not have lines to say,

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

clothes to wear, sets to stand on ... or a printed paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket.”

Morgan is now on the groveling tour, seeking absolution from gay rights activists.

Norah O’Donnell has been an Obama cheerleader on MSNBC. When Newt Gingrich suggested the president plays too much basketball and should concentrate on more important things, O’Donnell intimated there might be racist overtones because “it suggests that the president is an athlete and some people may suggest, you know, because all black people are good athletes.”

All black people? Isn’t that racist? Some people may suggest?

That’s a not-so-clever way journalists have of inserting their own opinions into a story or line of questioning. For many more examples of O’Donnell’s liberalism, visit newsbusters.org and search Norah O’Donnell. It doesn’t appear likely O’Donnell will put her views on hold while reporting on the president’s policies and his re-election campaign.

Last Sunday’s New York Times (Father’s Day) engaged in blatant cheerleading for the gay rights agenda. It began with a front-page story titled “For President, Gay Marriage Views Evolve.” You know where his “evolution” is

headed. The president wants and needs money from that lobbying group.

The cover of The New York Times Magazine featured “A Good Life in the Closet? Challenging the Orthodoxy of Coming Out.” And then, just in case readers were still unclear about the Times’ editorial position on the issue, three full pages in the New York section were devoted to a story headlined, “And Baby Makes Four: How A Woman, Her Son, Her Sperm Donor And His Lover Are Helping Redefine The American Family.” This may be how liberal New York and The New York Times see the American family, but most American families don’t.

Reading this brought me as close as I have ever come to canceling my subscription, but I decided against it. I have to know what the culturally depraved are thinking.

Inserted in the newspaper was a “Dear Reader” letter from outgoing Executive Editor Bill Keller and Editorial Page Editor Andrew Rosenthal. It announced “new features and a new way of presenting our finest analytical and opinion writing.”

It may be a “new way,” but the content will remain the same and come from the same ideological perspective. At none of the big networks or at The New York Times is there a recognized conservative or traditional values commentator. It is why these entities are losing readers and viewers, though they don’t seem to care. Their ideology trumps their business sense. Meanwhile, the rise of alternative media makes them increasingly irrelevant.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

To the editor: Guatemala is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. Drug dealers, chiefly the especially nasty Zeta cartel, more and more are dominating both the economy and the political structure of the country. The drug trade and inter-cartel battles, infiltration of the governments, etc., are destroying Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras and is a serious danger to other Latin American countries.

We have spent billions attempting to keep illegal drugs out of the U.S. and we have failed. So what else can we do? When asked how we could help, President Colom of Guatemala suggested Americans could stop buying cocaine.

People who use cocaine and some other illegal drugs “recreationally” — that is, the drugs have not (yet) become the central focus of their lives — should realize that each purchase contributes to the destruction of happy and secure lives for citizens in Latin America.

The many others who are addicted have a treatable problem. However, our government has decreed that some people with drug and alcohol addiction will get treatment, and many others will die of their addictions and will destroy the lives of families and others in the process. We never have made a wholehearted commitment to provide treatment for drug and alcohol addiction for all those who seek it. As of a week ago, a man in Lawrence without good insurance would have to wait four to six weeks to get residential treatment for severe cocaine dependence. For many, that is too long to wait.

Vet pleads guilty in Westboro stalking WICHITA — An Army veteran charged with stalking and conspiring to harm members of a controversial Topeka church pleaded guilty to lesser charges.

An attorney for Ryan Newell says his client pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of false impersonation of an officer, which are misdemeanors.

Attorney Boyd McPherson told The Wichita Eagle that Newell received six-month sentences on each count but is being released on two-year probation.

Newell, who lost both legs in Afghanistan, had been charged with felony conspiracy to commit aggravated battery and three misdemeanors.

The Marion man was arrested Nov. 30 after sheriff’s detectives found his vehicle parked outside Wichita City Hall while five Westboro Baptist Church members met with police inside.

Westboro members are known for protesting at military funerals.

NBA DRAFT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Selby missed his shot Josh Selby’s post-season, predraft tour took much the same path as his short time in the Kansas University basketball program. It started with so much promise, veered off path and wound up in the ditch.

Selby drew raves for his initial individual workouts from NBA teams, shot up into the middle of the first round in many mock drafts, talked about leaving bad Kansas memories behind him. Now, if he’s honest with himself, he must wish he had Kansas in his future. Big if.

Shortly before Thursday night’s draft, a league source said Selby’s stock had slipped because his foot had not healed properly and there was concern he might have “weak knees.”

When your only memorable college performance comes in your debut, it doesn’t take much to give general managers weak knees.

Second-round draft choices don’t get guaranteed contracts and first-round picks do. Selby could have played his way into the first round if his body and body language became healthier as a sophomore at Kansas.

Instead, he quit on the whole idea that he needed college basketball to grow as a player and person.

No way Selby improves as much sitting the bench in Memphis or fighting for playing time in the Developmental League as he would battling in Bill Self’s intense practices, playing highpressure games and trying to lead a young team. The needed personal polish he could have attained from attending classes and interacting with students might have helped him in life.

Yet, the silly rule set in place by the NBA allows colleges to be used by professional basketball for a year to test and market the future talent gives Selby the chance to leave college basketball without leaving or taking anything from it.

The one-and-done NBA rule and the vast majority of players who take advantage of it make a mockery of the first half of the student-athlete phrase so often uttered at NCAA Tournament press conferences.

In contrast, Marcus and Markieff Morris grew as men and basketball players during their three years in Kansas. If they never earn degrees, that doesn’t mean they didn’t get as much out of their experience as students who walk the hill do.

Selby might suit up for some Grizzlies games, though the DLeague, home of plenty of bad body language, appears a more likely destination. The Grizzlies lone 2011 draft pick, Selby has a shot to beat out reserve guard Ish Smith. Who? Precisely.

Selby’s slip supplied suspense to ESPN’s telecast, especially when, with the 45th pick, the New Orleans Hornets selected Josh ... Harrellson.

Markieff Morris getting taken ahead of Marcus qualified as a mild surprise, as did Selby’s drop all the way to 49th.

The most predictable draft development: ESPN’s Jeff Van Gundy was the star of the night.

Nothing about Van Gundy, from his common-sense to his candid humor, screams TV guy.

He throws out great questions in down-home sports philosopher fashion, such as: “Why do players get in shape after the season?” And: “Why in the draft room do they clap after their pick? They knew who they were picking. Why do they clap?”

Will anybody ever clap for Selby the way so many did during the USC game in Allen Fieldhouse?

TWIN BROTHERS MARKIEFF MORRIS, RIGHT, AND MARCUS MORRIS, who played together for three years at Kansas University, embrace after they were picked No. 13 and No. 14, respectively, in the 2011 NBA Draft on Thursday in Newark, N.J. Markieff went to Phoenix, while Marcus was drafted by Houston.

Markieff Morris selected No. 13 to Suns; Marcus one pick later at No. 14 to Rockets

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

N EWARK , N.J. — As the first 12 picks of the 2011 NBA Draft rolled in without Kansas University’s Marcus and Markieff Morris hearing their names called, the easy reaction would have been to panic.

Instead, the Morris twins remained poised, just as they had done throughout the entire draft process.

When the first to go, Markieff, finally heard his name called by the Phoenix Suns at No. 13 on Thursday, the emotions took over. Hugs were exchanged, smiles beamed and a sigh of relief could almost be seen floating away above them. There was, however, one catch. According

“Once I was called, I still had a little pressure on me waiting for my brother to be called,” said Markieff, who was not surprised to be drafted ahead of his brother, Marcus, who went 14th to Houston with the

night’s final lottery pick. “Once he was called, it just came off. We are both so grateful and thankful.”

Technically, the pressure was released while Markieff was walking down the hall toward the interview Please see MORRIS, page 3B

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self said he felt honored to share a special Thursday evening with the Morris twins and their mother, Angel, in the 2011 NBA Draft Green Room at The Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. “Marcus’ reaction when Markieff got picked ... I thought that was so cool,” said Self, referring to former KU forward Marcus Morris wiping away tears when his brother, Markieff, was selected No. 13 overall by Phoenix.

It didn’t take long for Markieff to return hugs to his twin, who was taken one pick later — No. 14

by Houston.

“It was great.

It was great,” Self added. “It wasn’t an intense table.

Angel was certainly relaxed and the twins seemed relaxed. They Self were happy. I mean they were ecstatic where they ended up.”

Quite a while later, KU freshman Josh Selby, who did not make the trip to Jersey for the draft, was tapped No. 49 overall, by the Memphis Grizzlies.

“We were sitting there talking.

I said, ‘If you can go anywhere, where would you want to go?’

Marcus told me, ‘I love Houston,’ and Markieff told me, ‘I love Phoenix,’’’ Self said. “They ended up with the franchise they wanted to be with. I think Marcus hoped he’d go a little bit higher, but I think it turned out great for him.

“And Josh ... even though he didn’t go until the second round, he gets hooked up with a couple Kansas guys in Xavier (Henry) and Shady (Darrell Arthur). I think that will be an up-andcoming team Josh will be able to impact as well.”

Self said he had not heard rumors that there were some concerns about Selby’s recovery from his foot injury at KU. “I don’t know anything about that,” Self said. “I know we went through it with Shady. He supposedly had a kidney thing and word spread and next thing you know his stock fell (even though there was nothing wrong with him). I don’t know if anything like that was going on with Josh.”

Self said he was a “little surprised” Markieff went ahead of Marcus in the draft.

“But that’s one of the most overrated things,” Self said. “It’s about the team with the need, Houston needing a combo forward and Phoenix a legitimate four man. Markieff fit that bill better than Marcus when they talk a legitimate four man that can defend the five.

“I think Marcus was on the board with more people and had a chance to go higher than Markieff, but I think Phoenix was certainly locked in on Kieff.” ● Notebook on page 3B

Cavaliers take Duke star Irving at No. 1 overall NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Kyrie Irving traveled just a few miles down the road to become the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.

The players that followed him came from across the globe.

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Irving with the No. 1 pick in a draft filled with internationals, confident his foot is healthy enough to lead the rebuilding effort that follows LeBron James’ departure.

Loudly cheered by family and friends not far from where he starred at St. Patrick’s High School in Elizabeth, Irving showed no signs of the toe injury on his right foot that limited him

to 11 games last season as he walked up the stairs to shake hands with Commissioner David Stern.

“I didn’t have any doubts about going to No. 1. I was looking to the organization to pick who they felt was the right choice,” Irving said. “But now to this moment, from being a fan of the NBA Draft and now being drafted, it’s a special feeling in my heart and knowing that my friends and family were together, it’s a memory I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.”

Three of the first six players taken were from Europe, capitalizing on the absence of some

American college players who might have gone in their spots and made this a stronger draft. It was the first time four international players who didn’t play at a U.S. college were selected in the lottery.

Even Irving has international ties. He was born in Australia while his father, Drederick, played professionally there and said he might be interested in playing for the Australian national team.

Nationals manager Riggleman quits WASHINGTON (AP) — Jim Riggleman felt he deserved better. He had essentially become a permanent interim manager for the Washington Nationals, a franchise that has spent much of its time trying to become relevant. Once the club was ready to be a contender, he sensed he would be shunted aside for the next best thing to come along.

So he took a stand Thursday morning, telling the team it was time to act. He wanted his contract option picked up for next season, or he would quit.

A few hours later, he did just

that, abruptly leaving one of the hottest teams in baseball in a move so unexpected that the front office wasn’t prepared to say who would manage the next game in some 24 hours.

The news turned the clubhouse mood from festive to stunned just minutes Riggleman after the final out of a sweep of the Seattle Mariners, and players boarded the buses in the bowels of Nationals Park for a

COMMENTARY

T-Wolves make right decision

By Jim Souhan Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Congratulations, Timberwolves fans. Your team leads the league in intrigue.

David Kahn’s Wolves are masters of machination. This week they retained the title, by knockout, as the most interesting bad team in the world.

Thursday night, the Wolves made the obvious and correct choice, using the second pick in the draft on Arizona forward Derrick Williams.

Kahn followed the selection by vowing to keep Williams. If he is to be believed, he did right by his franchise in this case, taking the best available player and avoiding the kind of overwrought thinking that imbues most of his paragraphs and pronouncements.

For most teams, that would be the entire story for this week: The drafting of a dynamic player with the highest pick in franchise history.

The Wolves are not like most franchises, who dominate news cycles more often than they win games.

On Monday, they celebrated the arrival of Ricky Rubio. On Tuesday, they introduced him. On Wednesday, news leaked that Kahn would finally fire Kurt Rambis, after letting him twist for months. On Thursday, the Wolves chose Williams and traded Kahn’s first failure, Jonny Flynn, for Brad Miller and a future first-round pick.

Today, most teams would celebrate. The Wolves, instead, will be calculating exactly how and when to announce Rambis’ firing, and how to replace him, and how Kevin Love and Kahn’s pet projects such as Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Martell Webster, Wes Johnson and Williams can coexist.

Kahn has assembled an intriguing collection of promising athletes, and given us little reason to believe this organization knows how to meld them into a winner.

After the way this organization treated Rambis, and given this organization’s reputation around the league, the Wolves face a version of the old Catch-22 conundrum: Would the Wolves want to hire any coach who wanted to work for them?

That’s not the only question.

We don’t know whether Rubio can play well in the NBA. We don’t know whether Love is an accumulator of numbers or a franchise cornerstone. We don’t know whether Beasley will be here when next season starts, or whether his trade value is high enough to justify dealing him.

We don’t know whether Johnson will prove the Wolves were right to choose him over DeMarcus Cousins, or whether that choice will hang over the franchise like all of their other draft-day black clouds.

A good coach, with the implicit backing of a solid front office, could push this group of athletes to play defense and share the ball, could make the Wolves worth watching for the first time in a handful of years.

The latest rumor on the Wolves’ intentions, though, is another glimpse into basketball purgatory.

If it is true that Kahn is considering hiring 67-year-old Bernie Bickerstaff, then owner Glen Taylor hasn’t just lost his mind, he dropped it down a sewer grate and watched rats carry it away. There are two reasons the Wolves would hire Bickerstaff: 1. They can’t find anyone else with a legitimate resume who would take the job.

2. They know they would be able to control Bickerstaff.

Bickerstaff would want to stay on good terms with the front office so his son, J.B., a Wolves assistant, would be given a chance to succeed him.

And if Bernie failed, signalling another bad coaching decision by Kahn, Taylor could fire them both and start over once again.

Flyers trade stars Richards, Carter PHILADELPHIA — Exit Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. Welcome to Ilya-delphia.

In a pair of separate shocking trades, the Philadelphia Flyers hit the reset button on a team only a year removed from a trip to the Stanley Cup finals, dealing forwards Richards and Carter, and signing goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov to a nine-year deal.

Gone is Richards, their team captain.

Out is Carter, their leading goal scorer.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren cleaned house — and cleared needed salary cap space to sign Bryzgalov to a reported $51million, nine-year deal. The Flyers acquired the rights to Bryzgalov, 31, earlier this month in a deal with the Phoenix Coyotes.

The Flyers shed over $100 million in salary — and a combined 314 goals and 692 points from the duo — in Thursday’s deals that sent Richards to the Los Angeles Kings and Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

“This had nothing to do with the financial (part) at all,” Holmgren said. “What we did today was make two good hockey trades.”

No one saw this Flyers Facelift coming.

Richards said he was shocked. Carter declined comment and his agent said there was “total disappointment.”

Holmgren’s voice quivered and his eyes moistened talking about the departure of two key cogs to the franchise. This would be like the Phillies trading Ryan Howard and Chase Utley ... on the same day.

Richards wasn’t on the market and the Flyers were going to have to be overwhelmed to trade Carter before acquiring Bryzgalov. Once the Flyers acquired the rights, though, they needed to get the cash, because they were pressed against the salary cap.

So the Flyers dangled the pair. And the Kings and Blue Jackets bit on the eve of the draft.

Flyers chairman, and founder, Ed Snider told The Associated Press the team is closer to winning a Stanley Cup now, rather than before the shakeup.

TENNIS French Open champ Li upset WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — After playing so well, so often, at this year’s first two major tournaments, Li Na’s run at Wimbledon came to an early end.

1 Only 2 ⁄2 weeks after giving China its first Grand Slam singles championship at the French Open, and five months after being the runner-up at the Australian Open, Li was knocked out in the second round at the All England Club on Thursday, the grass-court tournament’s biggest upset so far.

The third-seeded Li wasted two match points and succumbed to the speedy serving of wild-card entry Sabine Lisicki of Germany in a 3-6, 6-4, 8-6 loss. Lisicki hit 17 aces, including one at 124 mph, which the WTA said is the fastest serve by a woman all season.

Elsewhere, Serena Williams again was pushed to three sets before winning, then complained about having to play on Court 2.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Wilson, Virginia eliminate Cal, 8-1 OMAHA, NEB. — Unbeaten Tyler Wilson carried a shutout into the eighth inning, Virginia used a four-run sixth to break open a close game and the No. 1-seeded Cavaliers eliminated California from the College World Series with an 8-1 victory on Thursday night.

Virginia (56-11) will face defending national champion South Carolina in the Bracket 2 final. The Cavs would need to beat the Gamecocks today and again Saturday to reach next week’s best-of-three finals.

The loss ends an improbable postseason run for California (38-23), which started the year with its program scheduled to be dropped in 2012 for budgetary reasons. A $9 million fundraising effort saved the program.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Former USC player took money LOS ANGELES — Former Southern California football player Lonnie White says he took $14,000 in illegal payments during his fouryear career in the 1980s, mostly by selling game tickets allotted to scholarship players.

White made the admission Wednesday in a first-person story for The Daily, a digital publication. He was a sports writer at the Los Angeles Times from 1987 to 2008.

White was a receiver and special-teams player at USC, where he played under John Robinson and Ted Tollner from 1982-86. He went to training camp with the New Orleans Saints before his football career ended.

White says he sold the four season tickets provided to every scholarship player, which is illegal. Players also had the option of buying four more tickets to home games.

Ohio St. trustees to review program COLUMBUS, OHIO — Ohio State University trustees will spend up to six weeks reviewing the athletic program after the scandal that led to the suspension of five players and the forced resignation of football coach Jim Tressel.

“We want to assure ourselves that there are no new issues in any existing athletics matters that have not been dealt with,” Robert Schottenstein said Thursday during the trustees’ audit committee meeting. “And I will say today that we believe that is the case.”

In the first public comments from a member of the board of decision-makers that oversees the university, Schottenstein added that the school reported every alleged football team violation it was aware of to the NCAA.

NFL NFL owners, players meet again Round 4 of the “secret” negotiations is over.

Round 5 is coming soon — perhaps to a suburban locale near you.

NFL owners and players met for the second straight day in Hull, Mass., 18 miles south of Boston, as they attempt to close in on a collective bargaining agreement.

“The players and owners were here over the last two days,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday as he stood next to players association chief DeMaurice Smith. “De and I were here for the entire meetings also. And it’s complicated and it’s complex, but we’re working hard and we understand the fans’ frustration. But I think both of us feel strongly that we’re going to continue to work hard at it.”

A league statement said the sides will have more meetings. Those talks are expected next week; in the last four weeks, the owners and players have met outside of Chicago, New York and on the Maryland shore before heading to the beachside in New England.

APPAREL Nike faces backlash to shirts PORTLAND, ORE. — Nike Inc. is being blasted for replacing its signature “Just Do It” slogan on some T-shirts with the phrases “Dope,” “Get High” and “Ride Pipe.”

The shoe and athletic apparel company said the terms are part of the lingo used by the skaters, snowboarders and participants in other extreme sports it’s trying to target with the shirts. But critics say the slogans endorse drug use.

Boston’s mayor has asked Nike to remove a display of the shirts. And an Oregon antidrug group condemned them in a letter sent to 1,500 people — including some at The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy — urging them to let Nike know they disapprove of the slogans.

NBA Lakers’ Artest to change his name LOS ANGELES — Just when you thought you had seen it all regarding Ron Artest ...

The Lakers forward filed paperwork Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court to legally change his name to “Metta World Peace.”

Among the definitions for “metta” is a Buddhist virtue of kindness.

Artest has informed the Lakers of his plans but has not yet filed the necessary paperwork with the NBA to apply for a name change on the back of his jersey, Lakers spokesman John Black said.

“My understanding is ’Metta’ will be his first name and ’World Peace’ will be his last,” Black said.

room in the Prudential Center. That’s where he stopped halfway, bent over and let the tears flow as he rested his head in his hands.

Up to that point, the reality of what had happened — twin brothers being drafted backto-back into the NBA for the first time in league history — had the twins’ spirits soaring.

“I told him I was proud of him and I’m happy that he got to go where he wanted to be,” said Marcus, recapping the emotional embrace between brothers as they passed each other in the interview room.

“It probably meant more to me than it meant to him when he got drafted.”

Had the twins gone just two picks apart instead of one, they wouldn’t have been able to enjoy each other’s moment live because of the flurry of media requirements that came after being selected.

But just as their decision to attend Kansas and, later, the one to enter the draft together, this, too, worked out to perfection. With Markieff talking to the guys from ESPN Radio, NBA commissioner David Stern stepped to the podium for pick No. 14 and announced that the Houston Rockets had selected Marcus. After saying it, Stern even ad-libbed a little, saying, “Yep, they did.”

Instantly, the tall twins from Philly who Kansas fans had fallen in love with became one heck of a story for the national media.

Born seven minutes apart, the twins were drafted within five minutes of each other.

“It’s just amazing how things play out,” Marcus said.

“It just played out exactly the way we wanted it to. These were the two places that we both wanted to end up at.”

That’s no joke. KU coach Bill Self, who also saw fresh-

man guard Josh Selby get picked 49th by Memphis, supported the claim.

“Before tonight, Marcus and Markieff both told me they liked Houston and Phoenix the most,” Self said.

“I think Marcus was a little upset he didn’t go higher, but he loved the fit.”

Thursday’s draft marked the second year in a row that Jayhawks were selected backto-back in the NBA Draft. Last year, Cole Aldrich (11th) and Xavier Henry (12th) were picked consecutively. This time around was decidedly more emotional. In the game of basketball, where teammates so often become like brothers, Thursday’s event was truly about family, both blood relatives and Jayhawks.

Joining the twins at their Green Room table Thursday were friends and family from Philly, their agent, Tony Dutt, their high school coach, Dan Brinkley, and KU coaches Self and Danny Manning. For Self, Thursday’s draft was his first and he went to great lengths to be there, flying in Thursday evening from a family cruise in St. Martin.

“Angel called me and said, ‘The draft’s at 7, your ticket’s here,’” Self said. “She didn’t really give me an option. But I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. To be there to see the look on their faces and the emotion, it was really special.”

Manning, himself a former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick, kicked back and enjoyed the night from start to finish, following the same advice he gave the twins when the draft workouts started weeks ago.

“I just told ’em, ‘You can’t control anything,’” Manning said. “’So sit here and enjoy it because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.’”

Were they able to follow that advice?

“They tried to,” Manning said. “They tried to. And their mother did a wonderful job, as usual.”

selection on Texas forward Tristan Thompson. They were the first team since the 1983 Houston Rockets with two top-four picks.

The Minnesota Timberwolves took Arizona forward Derrick Williams with the No. 2 pick. The Utah Jazz then took Turkish big man Enes Kanter third with their first of two lottery selections.

The league’s uncertain labor situation hung over the draft, and likely weakened it.

Potential top-10 picks such as Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and Harrison Barnes were among those who decided to stay in school, without knowing when their rookie seasons would have started.

Stern, who could lock out his players next week if a deal for a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached, was booed when he came onto the stage at the Prudential Center, which is hosting the draft while its usual home, Madison Square Garden, is undergoing summer work.

New Yorkers made the trip across the river to join the sellout crowd of 8,417, cheering loudly when Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette were taken in the top 10 and booing when the Knicks made Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert the No. 17 selection.

The draft was filled with question marks, with a number of unknown European players expected to go in the first round. Kanter hasn’t played competitively in a year, forced to sit out last season at Kentucky after being ruled ineligible for being paid to play in Turkey.

Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas went fifth to Toronto and Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic was taken sixth by Washington.

“Basketball in my country

is not so popular, but after this night, I think — I hope — that the basketball will be more popular,” Vesely said. “I will do my best to help that.”

Bismack Biyombo of Congo went seventh as one of six international players who went in the first round, three short of the record set in 2003.

The 18-year-old forward moved to Charlotte as part of a three-way deal agreed to earlier that also included Milwaukee and ended with Fredette in Sacramento.

Kentucky’s Brandon Knight went eighth to Detroit as common fans finally heard a name they recognized again. He was followed by Walker of national champion Connecticut to Charlotte and NCAA scoring champion Fredette of BYU — both New Yorkers who were loudly cheered after their names were called. Walker, the Final Four Most Outstanding Player, wiped away tears on the draft stage.

Irving became the third point guard taken first in the last four years, following Derrick Rose in 2008 and John Wall last year. Rose was the NBA’s MVP this season, ending James’ two-year reign.

Irving insists he’s not trying to replace James — whose highlights were booed when showed on the overhead screen — in a different manner now.

“I’m looking forward to getting to Cleveland,” Irving said.

“It’s a big sports town and I cannot wait to embrace all of the fans there and the fan support. I can’t wait.”

Indiana took San Diego State’s Kawhi Leonard at No. 15 and traded his rights to San Antonio for former IUPUI star George Hill. That started a number of trades at the bottom of the first round, including a Houston-Minnesota swap that sent the Timberwolves’ Jonny Flynn to the Rockets in a deal that included Brad Miller, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

Grizzlies take chance on Selby MEMPHIS , T ENN . (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies took a shot at filling one of their needs in Thursday’s NBA Draft — a reserve guard.

The Grizzlies selected Josh Selby out of Kansas with the 49th pick — their only pick of the night.

Selby, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound scorer was a touted recruit out of high school when he averaged 32 points and seven assists for Lake Clifton High in Baltimore in 2009-10. But he fell down in the draft with a poor freshman season at Kansas, where he was suspended for the first nine games by the NCAA for accepting impermissible benefits in high school.

In addition to the suspension, Selby was hampered in the latter part of the season with a stress fracture to his foot.

He finished his only season at Kansas averaging 7.9 and 2.2 assists.

Memphis’ first-round pick in the draft — the 20th overall — was traded to the Utah Jazz in 2010 for Ronnie Brewer, leaving Memphis with only a second-round slot in a draft considered by some to be weaker than previous years.

Utah eventually sent the pick to Minnesota.

The draft night atmosphere was completely different for the Grizzlies. For several years, Memphis was one of the woeful teams in the league, leaving them with a seat on the stage for the league’s lottery show.

But the Grizzlies enjoyed their best season in franchise history. Seeded eighth in the Western Conference, Memphis not only won its first

playoff game in team history, they also dispatched the topseeded San Antonio Spurs.

Memphis eventually was eliminated in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a deciding seventh game.

That put Memphis a long way from its normal slot among the first teams selecting in the draft. Having a late second-round pick, the team didn’t even hold a draft watch party for its fans.

The Grizzlies’ late position left them looking to fill needs — a reserve guard, a threepoint shooter or a backup frontline player to spell the team’s formidable tandem of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Grizzlies officials weren’t sure they could fill the shooter’s role from the draft ranks.

They think they might have a better chance of finding that player in a trade or free agent market.

But the potential of Selby, who has a powerful build and a scorer’s approach to the game, may help provide the shooter’s mentality. He also has a reputation as an aggressive and physical defender.

Mike Conley holds the starter point guard role for Memphis, while Greivis Vasquez, a rookie from Maryland, served in the backup role down the stretch. A trade deadline deal with Houston brought Ish Smith, another rookie from Wake Forest, to Memphis. Smith saw limited action for the Grizzlies. Tony Allen started at the end of the season in the second guard spot, and O.J. Mayo came in as a shooter.

ARIZONA 5, KANSAS CITY 3

Reeling Royals swept by Diamondbacks K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Kansas City’s Felipe Paulino struggled in the first four innings, giving up five runs and eight hits, including two home runs. The next four innings, he shut down the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks got enough offense early to beat Paulino and the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, Thursday night to sweep the three-game series.

“It was really two games for him,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “The first seven hits he gave up were all on breaking balls.”

Yost sent pitching coach Bob McClure to the mound to tell Paulino to increase use of his fastball, which ranges from 95-98 mph.

Eugene C. Riling 1929-2002

Dean Burkhead Retired

“He was a totally different pitcher from that point on,” Yost said. “He made a great adjustment. There was just a little too much damage early on.”

It was Paulino’s fifth start and sixth appearance for the Royals, who picked him up May 26 after the Colorado Rockies had designated him for assignment.

“I like his fastball and that he can throw it for strikes,” Yost said. “He got a little away from his game plan tonight and he was shaking (catcher Matt) Treanor off. He’s got a lot of upside, a lot of potential.”

Paulino (0-1) retired 13 straight, striking out six, after Juan Miranda’s fourth-inning

home run before Stephen Drew singled to open the ninth. His eight-plus innings matched his longest outing.

He allowed five runs and nine hits, one walk and eight strikeouts.

“I gave up too much too early,” Paulino said. “I made an adjustment too late in the game. It was really easy. I threw more fastballs. It worked great, but it doesn’t matter because we lost. I wanted to do everything to keep the game close.”

Paulino has not won a game since June 4, 2010.

Daniel Hudson pitched seven strong innings to win his ninth game, and Miguel Montero and Miranda each homered to lead Arizona.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cards trample Phillies The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 12, Phillies 2 ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter threw seven strong innings and Jon Jay and Lance Berkman homered to lead St. Louis to a victory over Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Carpenter (2-7) picked up his first victory since May 10.

He allowed one run and five hits to end a string of seven successive starts without a win. Carpenter struck out seven and walked one.

St. Louis won for the first time since three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols fractured his left forearm on Sunday.

The Cardinals managed just two runs and 11 hits during the f irst two games without Pujols, who is out four to six weeks.

Philadelphia starter Roy Oswalt (4-6) left after two innings due to tightness in his lower back. He gave up four runs and five hits in his shortest start since a two-inning outing in a 9-7 loss to Atlanta on September 10, 2009.

Interleague Mets 4, Athletics 1 NEW YORK — Chris Capuano pitched six scoreless innings before leaving with a tweak on his right side, Jose Reyes took advantage of Oakland’s shaky new first basemen and New York beat the Athletics.

After the start of the game was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 15 minutes, the Mets won their second in a row.

They beat the A’s on Wednesday night in a rain-interrupted game that took 13 innings and ended after midnight.

Messy room could be sign of depression Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I laughed when I read the letter from “Neglected,” who complained about her husband’s lack of gift giving. Here’s how my friend “Nadine” handled a similar situation: Nadine kept dropping hints to her hubby that she wanted some new dishes for their 25th anniversary. When nothing was forthcoming, she “borrowed” his credit card and ordered the reasonably anniesmailbox@comcast.net priced set she wanted.

When it arrived, she not at work or at school, she’s sleeping, watching TV or vis- unpacked it, called a few friends to come over and iting her boyfriend.

I’m ready to kick her out, but I’m afraid she will quit college and get in financial trouble again. Olivia has one year left of school. Should I put up with this disgusting room until then? — At the End of my Tether in South Dakota

Dear S.D.: If you are too worried to throw her out, then yes, you’ll have to put up with the mess until she graduates.

Olivia may be slovenly or depressed, and her schedule may be so busy that she needs more downtime than most. If you think she may be depressed, please suggest she visit the college counseling department. Whatever the reason, you are not obligated to go into Olivia’s room if it is too stressful for you. Close the door.

The cheaper the commercials, the better Do we love commercials or hate them?

Many people buy DVRs and TiVos to zap right past those words from the sponsors, only to discover that sometimes the ads are more entertaining than the shows. We claim to disdain interrupting ads, yet glorify them every Super Bowl Sunday in the most watched event of the year.

Few ads are as reviled (or secretly adored) as cheap local advertising. You know the kind, where the owner of a mattress outlet shares a bed with his second wife and talks about low, low prices. The kind that uses garish out-of-the-box special effects. The kind that screams at you.

“Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings” (9 p.m., IFC) is a documentary series disguised as a show about making cheap local ads. In every show, professional f ilmmakers Rhett and Link make two memorably cheesy ads in keeping with their campy sense of irony and low-rent aesthetics. While the ads are the payoff of every segment, the real meat of “Kings” is when the lads do their research, visiting with the clients and their customers in the local environment.

The first show takes place in Los Angeles, where the Holiday Hotel for Cats needs new business just to stay in business. The hotel’s owner is straight out of central casting’s “Cat Lady” department.

She claims to “speak” cat and shows us how. She also shares some secrets to cat relaxation, such as playing books on tape over loudspeakers. It seems to calm the felines.

Rhett and Link soak in her observations and even hire a local freelance animal communicator to double-check on the hotel owner’s “facts.” The result is a cheeky little film with more than a few nods to Errol Morris’ classic 1978 documentary “Gates of Heaven,” a groundbreaking movie about pet cemeteries and the peculiar bond between certain Californians and their pets.

The action, and the theme, continues when Rhett and Link are hired by Super Shmuttle, a combination shuttle van and doggy day care center run by an effervescent tattooed woman who plays a mean harmonica. Here the guys explore the psychological dimensions of marketing. It’s not enough to make the Super Shmuttle seem fun, they conclude. They have to play on the guilt of everyday Angelenos who choose to leave their pets alone eight hours while they go to work. The resulting ad is an explosive combination of sad black-and-white footage and jarring, inyour-face salesmanship for Super Shmuttle, your lonely family member’s passport to fun and companionship.

In future installments, the guys’ clients will include Da’Spot Hair Salon, Make Me a Pro-Wrestler and Bury Me Naturally, a place best described as an eco-friendly funeral boutique. I can’t wait. ● Students and mentors compete on the season finale of “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” (8 p.m., ABC).

Tonight’s other highlights ● A college tries to recruit Coach Taylor on “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC). ● Equipment failure leads to a rough night on “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet). ● A beaver dam poses problems on “Swamp Loggers” (9 p.m., Discovery).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Friday, June 24: This year, you see life differently. You will take the lead in your community and immediate circle.

Your professional status could become more significant. You might want to rethink your obligations. If you are single, you meet people through your commitments. Unfortunately, it appears you might gravitate toward someone who is emotionally unavailable, who is not there for you.

Use care. If you are attached, the two of you become quite visible as a couple. Aries pushes you into the limelight.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Be aware of the confusion you walked into.

What someone says might not be clear and causes more confusion than you might like. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Take your time, especially if you have a situation to deal with or a mixed message. What you know is that you know nothing. Tonight: Vanish while you still can.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Listen to what is happening with a friend.

You might have a decision

jacquelinebigar.com

to make, but, in a sense, it has already been made.

You will want to follow your heart. Tonight: You are the party!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You might not be able to clear out what a boss demands, no matter what. You can pull it apart and look at the situation in many different ways.

Tonight: Where the action is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ No one can sit on your creativity, yet some issue might create unusual concern. Clearing the air becomes close to impossible at the moment.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Work as a team, even if you question another party's ideas. You'll move in a new direction with the help of someone else. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Defer to others.

Listen to what they are saying, knowing that you, too, might need limits.

Tonight: Make it easy. Go with an offer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ If you hit a snafu, acknowledge what is happening more openly.

Touch base with a friend.

Pitch in and give of your time willingly. Tonight: Know that anything is possible.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Your spontaneity could get you in trouble if you're not careful. Someone who is significant and important in your life could have an issue with a child or someone else you sometimes demonstrate affection for. Tonight: Play the weekend in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Move through a domestic issue and enlist a partner's support. You might be surprised by everything that is going on behind the scenes when you start discussing an issue. Tonight: Do something special for a family member.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Remain nurturing, despite someone's attitude. By all means, take the high road. Listen to what is being shared; you could be quite touched by another person. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Remain sensitive to what someone offers.

This person is sincere, though there might be a hidden risk — at least that might be your fear. Tonight: Out and about.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: I’m so frustrated right now. Our 22-year-old daughter, “Olivia,” is living at home with my husband, our 17-year-old son and me. A while back, she quit college and moved in with her friends, which turned out to be a financial disaster. Two years ago, Olivia decided to return to school and moved back in with us. She works full time, goes to classes and has managed to pay off her creditors. She is saving money to buy a car. We do not charge rent, but she does pay for her own gas and personal items.

The problem? Olivia is a sweet girl, but she is really letting herself go. She has gained a considerable amount of weight and doesn’t seem to care about her appearance.

However, what is really tipping me over is her room. It is an absolute mess — clothes all over the floor, the bed and stuffed in the closet, and dirty dishes, garbage and makeup strewn about. I can’t even walk through the room. Every time I look in there, it just makes me sick and angry. I don’t do her laundry, but can’t recall her doing it, either, so she must be wearing dirty clothes.

Her father and I have begged and threatened, but nothing gets her to clean up.

All she says is “I’ll get to it” or “I’m too busy.” But when she’s
