Justin Johnston had a knack for putting a grin on the face of anyone with whom he made contact.

“He was a real cool guy,” said Jeri Holwick, a friend and recent McLouth High graduate. “Even if I was having a bad day or one of my best days of my life, he found a way to make it just a little bit better.”

Many in McLouth were remembering the McLouth High School junior in that way Thursday and finding comfort in each others’ arms.

Johnston, 16, died early Thursday in Costa Rica, the victim of an overnight shooting. He was on a nine-day trip with 12 students and two school district sponsors for a MHS Spanish Club trip to the Central American country, school district Superintendent Steve Splichal said Thursday.

Splichal, who delivered a written statement outside McLouth High School late Thursday afternoon, said he did not have information about the incident because the investigation was ongoing.

The superintendent said

A dozen students from Southwest and West junior high schools in Lawrence are preparing to leave early this morning for a trip to Costa Rica.

The trip was organized through EF Educational Tours, the same group that led Justin Johnston’s trip to Costa Rica. Johnston, a McLouth High School student, was shot and killed there Thursday.

Two teachers from Southwest are serving as chaperones for the trip, said Julie Boyle, a district spokes-

“They are in the process of communicating with their participants about the tragic news today,” Boyle said, noting that the Lawrence group “is reviewing safety precautions and security measures associated with its travel plans.”

The trip is not organized through the Lawrence school district and is not considered a school trip, Boyle said. Participants are financing their own travel.

TOPEKA — Attorney General Derek Schmidt on Thursday announced the appointment of a longtime lawman, Kirk Thompson, as director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

Thompson, 54, of Topeka, will take over the agency from Bob Blecha, who is retiring July 1 after 44 years in law enforcement, including 31 years with the KBI and the last four years as director.

“Bob Blecha has served Kansas generously and well,” Schmidt said.

Since 2008, Thompson has served as a captain in the Topeka Police Department, where he is in charge of the Professional Standards Unit. Prior to that, he served for 30 years with the KBI, starting as a field agent and rising to associate director.

Originally from Great Bend, Thompson started his career as a deputy sheriff in Barton County.

“Kirk is a man of integrity, and he has the right experience and dedication to lead this vital safety agency,” Schmidt said.

The KBI provides investigative and laboratory services to criminal justice agencies throughout the state. The appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.

Thompson said his first order of business was to get back up to speed at the agency and help it navigate through tough budget times.

Park closes as flooding looms

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The Kansas River is expected to reach flood stage in Lawrence today and Saturday, according to officials at Douglas County Emergency Management.

Thursday evening, Lawrence city officials said they would close Burcham Park until river levels had subsided. According to the city, the river was expected to overflow its banks and into the park sometime Thursday.

The river could get as high as 18 feet in Lawrence in the late afternoon today, said Jillian Rodrigue, assistant director of Douglas County Emergency Management, which would place it at flood stage.

As of Thursday morning, the river in Lawrence was measured at 15.35 feet, she said.

At that height, Burcham Park on the south side of the river and lowlands on the north side of the river outside the levee would likely see flooding.

It is important to monitor local media outlets and weather radios in case the forecast changes, Rodrigue said, and for families to have a plan if they are affected by flooding.

She said people shouldn’t go down to the river or play in flood waters, as the river banks can become unstable during a flood.

Noted sculptor creating ‘sandrat’ mascot to honor North Lawrence residents

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

As North Lawrencians from across the country reunite again this year to celebrate their history and to catch up with each other, they’ll have something else to celebrate.

Elden Tefft, a Lawrence bronze

sculptor, is creating a 3-foot “sandrat” to commemorate the traditions and people of North Lawrence.

“Sandrat” began as a derogatory term that people from across the river called North Lawrence inhabitants, but North Lawrencians, over time, adopted it as their own. The etymology of the term varies — with some of the stories being quite colorful — but

sandrat most likely is a reference to actual rats that live in the sand, said Patty Breithaupt, a North Lawrence resident.

South Lawrencians were called “bluebellies,” a reference to their higher economic status. Their overalls, it’s said, were newer, so after a swim in the water, the dye would come off and turn their Please see SANDRAT, page 2A

B ILL J. RACY

ljworld.com

Funeral services for Bill J. Racy, 70, rural Lawrence, will be held at 1 p.m.

Tuesday at WarrenMcElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

Mr. Racy died Monday, May 30, 2011, at his home.

He was born May 12, 1941, in West Mineral, the son of John and Mary Brynds Racy.

He grew up in West Mineral and moved to Lawrence in 1951. He was a graduate of Lawrence High School.

He served his country in the U.S. Army Reserves.

He retired as a custodian from USD 497. Earlier, he worked for Aeroquip Corporation and later its successor, Kinedyne Corporation. He formerly owned Super Oil Service Station for many years in Lawrence. In high school, he worked at Cooks Paint and Blackburn Super Oil. In West Mineral, he had a newspaper route.

Mr. Racy was a member of West Mineral United Methodist Church. He was active in the community and was a member of the Douglas County Trail Riders during the time when they were building an arena and

clubhouse.

He was also an avid square dancer in his younger years.

He enjoyed living on his Racy farm with his many critters — horses, cats, dogs and cattle.

He married Patricia Bonney on Oct. 14, 1967, in Fenton, Mo. She survives of the home.

Other survivors include two brothers, Don and wife Ann, and John and wife Larysa, both of Lawrence; nieces and nephews; and one sister-in-law, Toastie Racy of Abilene.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Mel Racy.

The family will receive friends from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday at the mortuary.

The family suggests contributions to the Bill Racy Memorial Fund, sent in care of the mortuary.

Online condolences may be sent to warrenmcelwain.com.

rity guards, they came close to a barbed-wire fence belonging to an adjoining property, but a dog startled them when it began to bark,” according to the newspaper report.

Police stated that the guard shot into the air, which frightened the boys even more, sending them running toward the hotel. The guard, according to the report, was frightened thinking he was being attacked and mistook Johnston for a thief. He shot, fatally wounding Johnston.

It was reported that the weapon, a .22 caliber pistol, was not registered. The security guard, who was identified as a 34-year-old man by the last name of Guevara, has been detained, Costa Rican police said, and the shooting is still under investigation.

The students had raised money for the trip through a variety of sources, including sales of candles and other items. The McLouth students left Monday and flew to Houston and on to Costa Rica, and they were to meet up with students from two other schools from outside the area.

“The district’s primary concern is for the Johnston family and also for the many students and staff members who are affected by this tragedy,” school leaders said in the press release. “The district’s crisis plan has been activated and counselors will be available on site for students and staff today and tomorrow.”

Splichal thanked U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran for his office’s efforts in offering international communications.

Johnston just finished his sophomore year at MHS in May. This is the second time a northeast Kansas student was killed while on an educational trip to Costa Rica.

Shannon Lucile Martin was only a few days from graduating from Kansas University in May 2001 when she was murdered in Golfito, Costa Rica, while walking to her residence after a night out at a disco. She had been in Golfito finishing a class project to collect rare fern samples.

The KU student had a deep connection to the Costa Rican community where she was murdered. An English language center that bears her name was opened inside the Costa Rican Coast Guard Academy and is being used to teach English to Golfito residents and Coast Guard cadets.

classmates and neighbors organized. The church, just across the street from the high school, was filled to the brim.

The capacity of the church, including standing room, is about 350.

Local ministers read Scripture, sang and later joined in sharing prayers as those in attendance held lighted candles.

The trip to Costa Rica was the first for the Spanish Club and its sponsors. The students on the trip are in Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 classes at the school.

The trip was arranged through EF Educational Tours based in Cambridge, Mass.

No other students were injured.

Parents of students on the trip were receiving information from their children via text messages.

“The safety and security of the students and sponsors is imperative to the school district,” McLouth school leaders said in a press release. “District officials are working with EF Educational Tours to ensure their safety and to make travel arrangements for an early arrival home. EF Educational Tours is taking steps to make counselors available to the students and sponsors. District officials have been in close communication with families who have students on the trip.”

Mistaken identity According to a report from the Costa Rican newspaper The Nation, a guard at the hotel where the group was staying shot Johnston. The shooting took place at 4 a.m.

The group was staying at the La Cangreja Lodge hotel in La Fortuna de San Carlos, according to the report, and student chaperones were staying in separate rooms from the young men and women they were accompanying.

“During the night the boys left the rooms they were checked in to and when they returned, apparently, so as not to attract the attention of secu-

Flash flooding swamps Manhattan

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Heavy rain that quickly pushed creeks out of their banks in north-central Kansas chased hundreds of people from their homes for several hours Thursday, turning parts of the region into a maze of closed roads.

In Riley County, police ordered about 200 people to evacuate houses and apartment complexes before dawn Thursday in a low-lying area along Wildcat Creek in Manhattan. Several inches of rain that began falling Wednesday night swelled the creek and raised the Kansas River.

Flooding along Wildcat Creek isn’t unusual, but

bellies blue.

Tefft, now 91, is a wellknown sculptor whose works include the statue of Moses in front of Smith Hall on the Kansas University campus, the iconic Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall and Chesty Lion at Lawrence High School.

“For us sandrats to have a man like Mr. Tefft make something for us is such an honor,” Breithaupt said.

Tefft grew up on New York Street, just across the river, played on baseball teams that practiced in North Lawrence and is a longtime friend of sandrat Rolland Johnson.

He figured that made him something of an honorary (Tefft preferred the word “ornery”) sandrat himself.

After Johnson, who lives in Texas, started organizing the annual reunions 11 years ago with another friend from the area, Tefft created a drawing of a sandrat and created small sandrat figures out of resin and plaster.

Breithaupt, who serves on the organizing committee for

police Capt. Kurt Moldrup said Thursday’s episode was “the worst flooding that we’ve seen in this area.” The creek began receding by midday and most roads reopened, allowing residents to go home to their houses, apartments and vehicles, many of them damaged by water.

The American Red Cross opened a shelter at St. Thomas More Church, but it appeared unlikely that many people would need to stay there Thursday night.

Flood warnings were posted Thursday for parts of 21 north-central and northeastern counties as other rivers rose, the state adjutant general’s office said. Flash flood warnings that went up for

high-water spots in a halfdozen counties were allowed to expire, but dozens of rural roads were closed to traffic.

The adjutant general’s office reported three families evacuated Thursday from flooded areas along Pottawatomie Creek near Louisville. Pottawatomie County ended sandbagging operations in early afternoon.

Fifteen homes in the Clay County town of Morganville were also hit by flooding, and three homes in Clay Center were evacuated, the adjutant general’s office said.

At Fort Riley, home to the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, high water reduced traffic to one lane at the Ogden gate on the east end of the post.

the sandrat reunion, approached Tefft with the idea to continue to have them available, and they began talking about the potential for a bigger sculpture.

And so, the idea for the 3foot sculpture Tefft affectionately calls “Sandy” was born.

He’s a happy sort of sandrat, smiling and wearing a top hat.

He said he wanted the sculpture to reflect both confident dignity and charm.

“It had to be something that was animated,” he said, noting that an animator who worked in Hollywood came from North Lawrence, and had to reflect the self-esteem and self-assuredness that North Lawrencians feel today.

Today, the sculpture is in its earlier stages, and Tefft is working on a wax layer for the underlying structure of the sculpture.

The project still needs to raise money before it’s completed — probably somewhere between $25,000 and $35,000, Tefft’s son, Kim, guessed. But if the money is raised, the project could be completed in about a year, they estimate.

The hope is to install the sculpture in North Lawrence

somewhere — perhaps in a park — surrounded by bricks and two stone pillars that give the history of the sandrat and the area.

The reunions began in the restaurant area of the Hy-Vee grocery store on Clinton Parkway in 1999, Breithaupt said.

Today, the reunions are well-attended, said Linda Lee, who also serves on the organizing committee with her husband, Tom. Though the first one had about 30 attendees, last year’s event drew about 200 people, and the organizers are expecting about 300 people this year, Lee said.

They’ll have photos from elementary school days going back to the 1920s, and people recount all kinds of stories.

They run the gamut from rebuilding after major floods to the one about the man nicknamed Nookie who would set firecrackers under all the girls’ windows on Independence Day. “It was more of a big family that lived in separate houses,” Tom Lee said.

Men sentenced to 2 months in jail for apartment burglary A Douglas County judge Thursday afternoon ordered two men to serve about two months in jail each for their roles in a Dec. 11 Lawrence apartment burglary.

District Judge Michael Malone also ordered the two men, Jeremy Noland, 19, and Nicholas Allen, 21, who were students at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., at the time of the crime, to serve two years on probation after they were convicted by entering pleas in February to burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary.

In April, a third co-defendant, Scott A. McDowell, was sentenced to serve two years on probation. McDowell, who now lives in Huntsville, Ala., had already served 62 days in jail before he posted bond in the case, so Malone had not ordered him to serve any additional jail time in addition to his two years on probation.

Noland and Allen posted bond only after a few days, and Malone ordered them each to serve the remaining balance of

their 62 days in jail.

Prosecutors accused the three men of wearing masks and climbing through an apartment window as they broke into a unit at the Grove Apartments, 4301 W. 24th Place, to rob one of Allen’s former neighbors. Witnesses told police they saw the men leave the apartment carrying a lap-

top computer. A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper arrested the men later in Overbrook.

Noland’s attorney Carl Folsom said in court Thursday the men were attempting to rob the apartment resident because they believed he was a drug dealer. Both defendants told Malone they accepted responsibility for the crimes.

Beer Bellies kick off Brown Bag series 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Debt fight continues despite warning Facing a dire warning from a credit rating agency, the Obama administration lobbied some of Congress’ most conservative members Thursday for an increase in the nation’s debt limit. Republicans responded that the surest way to reassure financial markets was to enact deep deficit cuts.

At the White House, President Barack Obama told Democrats he expected talks led by Vice President Joe Biden to achieve only about 60 to 70 percent of the reductions required as part of the deal, officials said, leaving him and top lawmakers to agree on the rest. The Biden talks are aimed at producing a bipartisan debt-cutting package that could accompany a boost in the government’s ability to borrow more money.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has told Congress that without an increase in the $14.3 trillion debt limit by Aug. 2, the government will be forced into its first-ever default, with potentially catastrophic results for the economy.

Traveling journalists ask: Who needs newspapers?

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: Watch the video at LJWorld.com

Driving 26,500 miles in a 10-year-old pickup and towing a 31-foot-long trailer, Sara Brown and Paul Steinle are taking a decidedly old-fashioned approach to solving a 21st century quandary.

With consumers increasingly relying on the Internet and smartphones and an everexpanding array of devices to exchange, share and compile information for free, just how can a trusted provider of information — the newspaper — survive and thrive?

Finding the answer, they say, could go a long way toward determining just how much character is retained by small towns and big cities alike.

“Something’s at stake here, and that is sort of the local identity of these communities,” said Steinle, who fears the newspaper industry could follow the loss of local radio during the past two decades.

“I mean, do you want a community that’s all ‘American Idol,’ or do you want one that actually has something of its own to be proud of?”

Steinle and Brown are journalism educators serving as on-the-scene staff

writers behind a nationwide research project — dubbed Who Needs Newspapers? — backed by their own not-forprofit organization, Valid Sources. The goal: check in with publications throughout the country to see what’s working and not working, and to clarify what they see as the value of newspapers for the public.

So far they’ve visited 45 publications in 45 states, filing reports along the way.

Lawrence residents who visited the tornado-ravaged city of Joplin, Mo., over Memorial Day weekend to help with relief efforts came back with a new respect for nature’s destructive power and for the resilience of the town’s people.

“It really looked like a nuclear bomb had gone off,” said Cedric Devin, who, with his wife, Liz Devin, owns Christal K-9, a dog grooming, day care and boarding facility in Lawrence. “Words can’t describe it. Pictures can’t describe it either.”

Some big-time reality TV producers are coming to Lawrence, looking for some undiscovered talent who could make it big.

“There’s always an enormous amount of people who are very talented but never got the chance,” said Matt Antrim, casting director for A&E’s new reality program “Road Show.” Antrim and his

Zaffiro said a wide variety of donations helped the ECM meet its goal.

“The way the campaign ended, to me, mirrored what the ECM is, which is really grass-roots,” she said.

Holcombe said he appreciated the support the ECM received from all the contributors to the campaign.

“It affirms our vision” of what the ECM hopes to be for the community, he said.

The campaign received support from 360 individual donors, whose contributions ranged from a few dollars to more than $20,000, said Teresa Zaffiro, ECM development coordinator.

The Ross and Marianna Beach Foundation also contributed $25,000 in support of the projects to improve access for people with disabilities.

Deanna Bowman, registered nurse, medical practice administrator “What newspapers mean to me is a way to get a pulse on opinions of the general public. I like to read blogs — find out what everybody’s thinking, particularly about politics, although they have opinions on everything.”

Amanda Soelter, retail clerk “It’s a source of local identity, but it’s harder and harder to maintain now that we have the Internet. … I do think it’s an important thing to know local news, as well as everything you watch on TV. … I’m from an even smaller town than this and we wouldn’t even have had news there if we didn’t have a newspaper.”

Glen Walker sales manager “I like to know about what’s going on here in Lawrence, so I really like to know a lot about the local news and regional news. I do get my sports from here, to read about the Jayhawks and Kansas State University. I would like to see you guys branch out a little more and have more Pac-10 news, but I can handle the Big 12. But really, I like to read it for the regional news and what’s going on here in Lawrence and in Kansas City.”

stopped by the News Center, 645 N.H., to interview leaders of the Journal-World.

Newspapers are more than newsprint. Brown said: Such operations provide vital information to communities through both print and, especially now, digital platforms.

“There’s definitely a transition in process,” she said.

And the best companies are finding ways, incrementally, to move ahead, Steinle said.

While newspapers for years have been using traditional advertising to finance 80 percent of operations, Steinle figures that newspapers will get into what he calls the “transactional” side of business.

“Why does Amazon work?” he asked. “It’s because of their transactional service. They don’t make books; they just sell them, and distribute them to people.

“Newspapers are really good at connecting people, but they’ve never taken a piece of the action out. They’ve always just charged for advertising.

So, if they could take a piece of the transaction — you know, 2 percent, just like American Express does, or Amazon and all those people — that might be the answer. Who knows?”

Steinle and Brown continue their search for answers. Still to come are visits to media operations in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota.

To see their reports and learn more about the project, visit WhoNeedsNewspapers.org.

The Journal-World report should be available in about 11 weeks, Steinle said.

Cedric Devin said the shelter had about 500 animals before the tornado, and had about 600 new ones come in after the storm. The shelter was not damaged in the storm, but had to expand to a nearby vacant warehouse space to accommodate the new animals, he said.

The Devins brought back a black Lab they’re hoping to find a foster home for while the dog’s family gets resituated.

The shelter is also dealing with a number of families coming in and trying to find their pets, Liz Devin said.

Lawrence resident Diane Lewis, who is an employee of The World Company, which owns the Journal-World, went to Joplin with her husband, Randy, and their 14year-old son, Justin.

“The more I watched the news media and the coverage, the more we thought maybe we could go down and see what we could do to help,” Randy Lewis said.

They called a volunteer center and signed a waiver before Diane answered phones and Randy and Justin boarded a bus and helped clear debris with their chain saw and other tools. He said that about 4,000 volunteers were in the city Saturday.

It took awhile for reality to set in, Randy said, among the remains of people’s homes, as he helped sort debris and other personal belongings.

Events mark Black Jack’s 155th anniversary

By Jimmie Gillispie jgillispie@baldwincity.com

Events organized by the Black Jack Battlefield Trust will commemorate the 155th anniversary of the Battle of Black Jack.

An 1856 Lamplight Camp Tour will be available at the battlefield site three miles east of Baldwin City (a quarter mile south of U.S. Highway 56 on East 2000 Road). Reservations are required for the tour, which is scheduled for 8 to 9 p.m. today, at a cost of $15 per person and can be made online at www.blackjackbattlefield.org.

On Saturday, visitors can begin the day by hearing from John Brown at 10 a.m. on the Black Jack Stage. Brown is portrayed by Kerry Altenbernd, a third-generation native of Douglas County who has performed firstperson interpretations of John Brown since 2006.

“I enjoy portraying John Brown and I’ve done it a lot out there,” Altenbernd said. “I haven’t been on stage, so that should be interesting this year.”

Re-enactors from across the nation will participate in three re-enactments of the Battle at Black Jack at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the site of the battle. Gates will open at 9 a.m. and admission is $8 for adults and $1 for children ages 3 to 12. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.blackjackbattlefield.org or at the gate, which gains admission for the entire day.

Shane Seley, of Wide Awake Films in Kansas City, Mo., coordinates the re-enactment of the battle. Seley, a filmmaker specializing in stories of the Civil War, and is also a reenactor. He will be assisted by Thom Weik, a re-enactor from Lawrence. The battle will be introduced by Altenbernd, portraying John Brown as he appeared just before his hanging at Harpers Ferry.

A Wide Awake Films production about the event can be seen at www.blackjackbattlefield.org and video footage can be obtained by contacting Seley at 816-872-3456 or shane @wideawakefilms.com.

The Black Jack Trust is a nonprofit membership organization with a goal to preserve, interpret and maintain this important piece of history and natural Kansas landscape.

Family seeks leniency for man convicted of store robbery

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Several family members Thursday pleaded for a Douglas County judge to be lenient with a prison sentence on a 22-year-old Topeka man who was convicted of robbing a Lawrence convenience store in 2009.

“We’re not interested in him not being accountable for his actions. I just ask that you please give him the chance, a reasonable chance, to rehabilitate and be a contributor to our society,” said Sedryck Welch’s stepfather, Gregory Bailey, “because I’m committed to helping him do that.”

A jury in January convicted Welch of aggravated robbery after prosecutors accused him of using a shotgun to rob a clerk on Aug. 3, 2009, at Conoco, 2447 W. Sixth St. Welch has already been sentenced to serve 59 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to two counts of aggra-

vated robbery in Shawnee County related to a 2009 robbery at a Topeka convenience store.

For the Douglas County conviction, under state sentencing guidelines Welch faces anywhere from 17 to 19 years in prison, but his attorney Sarah Swain is asking District Judge Michael Malone to give him a lesser prison sentence.

Swain had a psychologist who evaluated Welch in jail testify Thursday that Welch had a low IQ , a learning disability and was prone to peer pressure to try to impress others, but he said his family support boded well for him not to reoffend.

During the January trial, Douglas County prosecutors presented surveillance photos of a man with a gun that night, and the clerk and two other witnesses who knew Welch in 2009 testified and said they believed he was the man in the video.

“I just don’t understand it.

I wish it’d just all go away,” Welch said in court Thursday.

“I do have to get punished for something that happened, and I’m the type of person who takes responsibility for actions.”

His father, Rickey Welch, who served two years in prison from 1990 to 1992 for a Shawnee County robbery, asked Malone for a shorter sentence for his son.

“Don’t throw him under the bus,” Rickey Welch said.

“Just like the system gave me the opportunity and that chance to redo and get my life together, give him that chance too, so he can stand up and be a man.”

After the nearly three-hour hearing Thursday, Malone rescheduled closing arguments in the sentencing for 10 a.m. June 21.

It’s spring cleaning time!

Tax caution The Kansas tax system may need revision, but lawmakers should carefully consider both the positive and negative effects of any changes.

I

n recent speeches and talks with reporters, Gov. Sam Brownback has repeated two interesting points related to the state’s economy.

One is that Kansas needs to restructure its tax system to look more like that of Texas, which has no state individual or corporate income tax. Texas, Brownback notes, is an economic powerhouse compared with Kansas, and the lack of income taxes in the Lone Star State is part of its success, he says.

Brownback also says that Kansas has already done the difficult job of building a solid public school system and a great network of roads. He believes a change in the state’s tax system would help make Kansas even more attractive for business and industry.

But let’s think about this. The current Kansas tax system has helped develop our current school system and road system.

Would a change in our tax system harm our schools or roads?

And do Kansans really want to become more like Texas? Texas is a great state, and we mean no offense, but Kansas public schools are better than those in Texas, and Kansas roads are better. We would like to keep it that way.

Kansas ranks significantly ahead of Texas in National Education Progress Reports, ACT scores and graduation rates. Reader’s Digest, which ranked the nation’s roads in its April 2010 issue based on various federal data, said Kansas roads were the best in the nation while Texas ranked 29th.

Another statement the governor has made several times in the past several weeks is that Kansas should focus on what it is and not lament what it is not. That seems like good advice. Brownback and others should move slowly and keep an open mind when considering major changes to the state’s tax structure. What is in fashion today in some circles may not be what is in the best long-term interests of the state.

Gates reclarifying CIA, military lines W A S H I N G T O N — One consequence of the early “war on terror” years was that the lines between CIA and military activities got blurred. The Pentagon moved into clandestine areas that had traditionally been the province of the CIA. Special Forces began operating secretly abroad in ways that worried the CIA, the State Department and foreign governments.

The Obama administration is finishing an effort to redraw those lines more carefully, issuing a series of new executive orders (known as “EXORDS”) to guide the military’s intelligence activities, sometimes through what are known as “special access programs,” or SAPs. The power of combining CIA and military resources was shown in the May 2 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. The firepower came from the Navy SEALs, a Special Forces unit that normally functions under the Title 10 war-fighting authority of the military. Because the SEALs were operating inside Pakistan, a country with which the United States isn’t at war, the CIA supervised the mission under Title 50, which allows the agency to conduct “deniable” activities overseas.

The system worked in the Abbottabad raid. But over the past 10 years, there have been instances when crossing the traditional lines created potential problems for the United States.

It’s especially important to understand these boundaries now as Gen. David Petraeus prepares to take over as CIA director. If the rules aren’t clear, peo-

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

Rumsfeld was creative “in expanding his turf to fight a global war on terrorism.”

ple at home and abroad may worry about a possible “militarization” of U.S. intelligence.

This column will examine how the lines got blurred between 2001 and 2006, when Donald Rumsfeld was secretary of defense and the war on terror presented new and difficult legal issues. President George W. Bush initially embraced Rumsfeld’s decisions, but at the end of 2006, he changed course. A second column will examine the cleanup that was started in 2007 by Bob Gates, Rumsfeld’s successor. It’s one of Gates’ most important but little understood legacies.

Rumsfeld has argued that his actions were proper and necessary, whatever second-guessers may say.

The push to expand Pentagon intelligence activities began soon after Sept. 11, 2001. Congress passed an “authorization for use of military force” against al-Qaida

that arguably created a global battlespace against terrorists. Rumsfeld was worried that the Pentagon wasn’t effectively using its best assets, the highly trained Special Forces. That concern was compounded by the success of the CIA’s small paramilitary force in the 2001 Afghanistan war.

“Rumsfeld was frustrated that he sat on this enormous capability he could not fully utilize,” recalls John McLaughlin, who was the CIA’s deputy director from 2000 to 2004. He describes the Pentagon’s initial attempt to bolster intelligence operations after 9/11 as “an awkward, stumbling, improvisational, crashbang kind of thing.”

Rumsfeld was creative in expanding his turf to fight a global war on terrorism. He installed Stephen Cambone in the new post of undersecretary of intelligence in 2003. He also authorized forward-deployed Special Forces units overseas. These became known as “Military Liaison Elements,” or MLEs, since part of their mission was to work with local special forces. But the MLEs also conducted what was known as “operational preparation of the environment,” in countries that weren’t war zones.

CIA and State Department officials worried that the Pentagon was creating alternative intelligence platforms. “We went nuts,” recalls McLaughlin. Rumsfeld cooperated in working out rules for coordination with local station chiefs and ambassadors, but the foray left scars.

Former intelligence officials

recall sensitive “preparation of the environment” missions inside nations such as Iran. I recently reviewed an August 2006 “SAP Action Memo” from Cambone to Rumsfeld requesting an extension of a “commercial covert operative” in two volatile Arab countries. The military isn't authorized to conduct "covert" activities, so a senior Defense official says this may simply be "sloppy writing." It could also be something inappropriate.

Long skeptical of the CIA bureaucracy, Rumsfeld wanted his own options. In late 2001, he set up his own “Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group” reporting to Undersecretary Douglas Feith.

According to Bradley Graham’s 2009 biography of Rumsfeld, the Pentagon’s inspector general concluded in 2007 that this push for “alternative intelligence assessments” had been “inappropriate.”

Another point of friction was Iraqi exile leader Ahmed Chalabi. The CIA refused to deal with him, arguing that he was unreliable. Here, too, Rumsfeld approved a workaround. Chalabi had his own special liaison officer in 2003 and 2004 who connected him with Centcom and top Pentagon officials.

By the time Gen. Mike Hayden was nominated to be CIA director in 2006, it was clear that better coordination was needed.

The head of the CIA’s operations directorate advised Hayden: “We welcome more players on the field. We just need to be sure we’re synchronized.”

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for June 3, 1911: “While two laughing, romping children scampered about the room playing ‘burYEARS glar,’ the house-breaker who has been terAGO rorizing the Lawrence residence district IN 1911 for three weeks, stood cramped in a closet of the same room for twenty minutes last night. So close did the children play to where he stood concealed, that several times they stopped in affright at what they believed was a man breathing, only to conclude that they were mistaken and to go on playing. The burglar was in the home of C. B. Harmon, 1127 Vermont, having entered a second story window shortly before nine o’clock. He was interrupted in his ransacking by the arrival of the children... With a childish wonder and credulity, which must have amused the listening housebreaker, the children talked of the bold man who robbed houses with such intrepid daring, and improvised a new game in which the police connived with the robber and purposely let him escape. It was an unconscious satire on the ineffectiveness of the police in the present instance which must have wondrously tickled the concealed burglar.... After their departure, he calmly continued his search of the second floor for valuables.”

Money won’t create democracy The upheaval in Yemen and the possibility that al-Qaida might take over, turning that country into a stronger terrorist base than it already is, should give pause to American and European policy in the Arab world.

At its recently concluded G-8 meeting of industrial economies in Deauville, France, Western governments pledged $40 billion to “newly democratic” nations in North Africa and the Middle East.

One might as well throw money at Chicago and hope for electoral reform so the dead are no longer allowed to vote on Election Day. In spring, one usually cultivates a lawn so that new vegetation can take root and grow. In the Arab world where this money is targeted the only roots you’ll find are the roots of oppression and terrorism.

If Western nations think what is happening in Tunisia and Egypt will lead to real democracy where competing political parties, ideologies and faiths have a fair and equal opportunity of being debated, they are seriously deluded.

The money would have a better chance of financing a winning streak in a Las Vegas casino.

If these countries were seriously pursuing democracy and needed only money to complete their transformation, there is plenty of money in the region that could be used to help them. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, OPEC income is expected to rise this year above the $200 billion increase of 2010. That would be around $833 billion, the Energy Information Administration fore-

casts. That’s money the United States and the rest of the G-8 have paid oil-producing nations at prices ranging from $4 to $7 a gallon, depending on the country.

If money alone could foster democracy in North Africa and the Middle East, there are plenty of Arab countries with loads of it — chiefly Saudi Arabia. Yet the Saudis have shown very little interest in an “Arab spring,” preferring to remain instead in the doldrums of an Arab winter.

Democracy doesn’t spring up of its own accord. It must have a base from which it can blossom. That was a point made by Timur Kuran, a professor of economics and political science at Duke University, in a recent op-ed column for The New York Times entitled “The Weak Foundations of Arab Democracy.” Kuran wrote, “Democracy requires checks and balances, and it is largely through civil society that citizens protect their rights as individuals, force policymakers to accommodate their interests, and limit abuses of state authority. Civil society also promotes a culture of bargaining and gives future leaders the skills

to articulate ideas, form coalitions and govern.”

None of this exists in any of the nations to which the G-8 has pledged its support. In Egypt, supposedly the most progressive of the Arab states, fundamentalist Muslims still persecute Coptic Christians. The radical Muslim Brotherhood, which at the start of the revolution claimed no interest in political power, is now active in its pursuit of victory in the upcoming election and hints that it might revoke Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel.

The problems in North Africa and the Middle East can’t be solved by money. What’s needed is a change in outlook. Radical Islam forces women into secondclass status; it is rooted, not in optimism, but in pessimism. Radical Islamists appear to serve an angry God who commands them to kill those who do not believe as they do, but this belief will do little to lift the Arab world out of the religious and political deep freeze that holds it back from true progress.

In C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” Narnia has been transformed by a white witch into a land where it is “always winter, but never Christmas.” That pretty much describes the lands of North Africa and the Middle East where the “white witch” is radical Islam and spring will never arrive as long as it holds sway over the minds and hearts of the people.

To the editor: Well, Mr. Simons, that was a fine rant.

You listed a number of areas where you think local leadership is lacking. Is it your take we should pursue them all? If we do not pursue everything, do you have a process in mind to obtain “buy-in” from the nonparticipating electorate or will our nonleaders decide? Oh, I know we will create another committee staffed with those with axes to grind to provide cover for whatever those “leaders” choose to do.

I might observe that, in my humble opinion, the last City Commission election was a bust. Most of the candidates mouthed the same platitudes.

All the local “special interests” got an opportunity to demand more money for their constituency. The candidates then avoided any notion of how to pay for what they and the special interests proposed. Good reading of the voters but absolutely nothing calculated to create real interest or motivation.

Sleep quietly; we will take care of you!

Our new leaders had hardly broken in their expensive chairs when the same old mode of operation surfaced.

The annual loss leader to justify a tax increase appeared in the context of our police.

No notion that we had looked internally to see if the few million (2 to 3 percent of at least one budget rack) sought could be found from older, less important, programs. Apparently everything in our budget is more important than our police department. Right!

If we keep falling for this approach, we have the leadership we deserve and the consequence that will result.

George Lippencott, Lawrence

Teachers’ contract hits dress code snag GARDEN CITY (AP) — A federal mediator will be called in to contract negotiations for Garden City teachers that stalled over a dispute about blue jeans.

Negotiators for the district and teachers union declared an impasse Wednesday, requiring that a mediator be brought in.

District officials want principals or building administrators to define what constitutes a professional dress code. The district says teachers’ dress should meet or exceed that of classified staff, who aren’t allowed to wear blue jeans.

The teachers want to decide for themselves what to wear.

Teachers already overwhelmingly rejected a proposed contract that would have banned them from wearing blue jeans.

The Garden City Telegram reported that negotiators for both said money has not been an issue in the negotiations because the district faces a significant cut in state aid.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Tweaking LB corps tempting For the record, I’m not interested in the linebackers vacancy on Turner Gill’s staff unless I can coach Jimmay Mundine and Brandon Bourbon.

They both play for offensive coordinator Chuck Long, not for defensive coordinator Vic Shealy, which is good for Long, bad for Shealy.

The previous coaching staff recruited Mundine as a linebacker and to look at the way he’s built is to imagine Lawrence Taylor at a similar age. Mundine’s an inch shorter, but he’s cut the same way. He just looks like a linebacker, a fast, thick, versatile linebacker.

Yet, once the new staff took over and had to re-recruit the players, they decided to lure Mundine as a tight end.

“I watched some film of him and once I came back and told coach (Gill), I said, ‘This guy could be a great linebacker, but he’s already a great tight end.’ I mean, he’s an athletic guy,” retiring defensive coordinator Carl Torbush said.

So far, Mundine hasn’t been interested in switching to linebacker. Same for Brandon Bourbon, who changed his commitment from Stanford to KU. Both guys have all-conference potential at linebacker.

When a defensive coach recommends such a talented defensive prospect as a tight end to the head coach, that says something.

Bourbon, another outstanding athlete, competes at the team’s deepest position, but he’s confident he’ll rise to the top and turned down an offer to play defense.

“The more of those guys you can get that can play here (offense) or here (defense), the more opportunities you’ve got to win,” Torbush said. “Toben Opurum is the perfect example.

Pretty good running back, got a chance to be a really outstanding defensive end by the time he leaves here. You want those athletic type guys who can run and have the ability to play both sides.”

Mundine’s leaping ability and agility in going up, down, over and out to grab off-target passes will come in handy. In the spring game, when he caught three passes, he looked as if he’ll catch everything thrown near him and has the strength to rip 50-50 balls away from defenders. Look for Long to find a way to use Mundine and three-year starter Tim Biere together as much as possible.

Bourbon, faster than James Sims and even Darrian Miller, made a big impression at running back during the spring before suffering an injury.

Still, it’s tough not to daydream about a linebacker trio of Mundine, Darius Willis and Bourbon without picturing a faster version of Mike Rivera, Joe Mortensen and James Holt.

At Tuesday’s news conference to announce that Torbush was retiring because he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, Gill also announced Shealy’s promotion and Buddy Wyatt’s adding co-coordinator to his defensive line title.

As a cagey way of determining whether I wanted the linebackers job, I asked if the new assistant would have any shot at coaching Mundine and Bourbon.

Gill laughed.

“We’ll see,” he said, then ended the press conference, saying, “All right, we’re good.”

Unlike Donald Trump, I’m not about to say I could have had the job if I wanted it.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER STEVEN JOHNSON (52) STARES OUT OF HIS FACEMASK as he and other linebackers practice footwork in this August 2010 file photo. Johnson and the Jayhawks’ linebacking corps will have a new position coach for the 2011 season after Carl Torbush retired and Vic Shealy was promoted to defensive coordinator.

Top candidates for KU’s next LB coach examined

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Today marks the end of the work week for most and could mark the end of a coaching search for the Kansas University football program.

The following is a list of viable candidates who could fill KU’s assistant coaching position in charge of linebackers. An announcement could be made as soon as today.

The job came open after former defensive coordinator Carl Torbush, who also handled the linebackers, announced his retire-

job. Vantz Singletary, 46, worked under Gill for one season at the University of Buffalo in 2008 as the defensive line coach, and has a total of 17 years as a college assistant on his resume. His stops include Tennessee-Chattanooga, Hawaii, Southern and Trinity College.

After leaving Buffalo, Vantz joined his uncle on the San Francisco 49ers staff, where he worked as the assistant inside linebackers coach in 2009 and 2010.

Immediately, KU head coach Turner Gill promoted Vic Shealy to defensive coordinator and Buddy Wyatt to co-defensive coordinator. Gill also said he hoped to fill the final spot on his staff by the end of the week.

That time has come, and it’s time to look at the top candidates for the job along with each man’s chances of being hired.

After playing two seasons at Blinn College, Vantz Singletary finished his playing career at Kansas State. He lettered at KSU in 1987 and 1988 and graduated in 1990.

A native of Houston, Vantz is married to the former Shawndra Saulter and he and his wife have four daughters.

Markieff feels Jordan’s presence at draft camp

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Markieff Morris didn’t actually see NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan enter the Charlotte Bobcats’ practice facility on Thursday morning.

A sixth sense told the former Kansas University power forward that the Bobcats’ owner had arrived.

“I felt it when he came in the gym. I felt his greatness when he came in. I just felt it the whole time,” said Morris, who eventually spotted the former Chicago Bulls phenom observing Charlotte’s pre-draft workout of six players.

Morris was asked what “greatness” felt like.

“The lights brighten and you just feel, like on your back, somebody is there,” Morris said in an interview available on nba.com.

The 6-foot10 Morris likes the idea of playing for Jordan’s Bobcats, Markieff Morris especially considering the team has two firstround picks — Nos. 9 and 19.

Markieff is holding out hope that he and his twin brother, Marcus,

might wind up on the same squad.

“If it happens, it happens,” Markieff said. “This would definitely be a place we both would want to play or one of us would want to play.”

Cleveland (Nos. 1 and 4), Minnesota (2 and 20) and Washington (6 and 18) are the only other teams with two first-round draft picks.

“Markieff is a very good shootChuck Burton/AP Photo er,” Charlotte coach Paul Silas said after the workout. “He was CHARLOTTE BOBCATS OWNER MICHAEL tough and understands how to JORDAN, RIGHT, IS GREETED by Morehead play the game.

NBA FINALS

Mavs storm back, stun Miami

David J. Phillip/AP Photo

DIRK NOWITZKI (41) CONVERTS the game-winning layup as Miami’s Udonis Haslem and Chris Bosh (1) defend. The Mavs stunned the Heat, 95-93, on Thursday in Miami.

MIAMI (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks put a stunning end to their misery in Miami.

Now they can win their first NBA title without ever coming back to South Florida.

Nowitzki shook off an injury to his non-shooting hand and made the tie-breaking layup with 3.6 seconds left, and the Mavericks roared back from 15 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat, 95-93, on Thursday night and tie the NBA finals at one game apiece.

“You can just sense it in us that

we weren’t going to give up, we were going to be resilient,” Dallas guard Jason Terry said.

Capping a furious rally by scoring Dallas’ final nine points, Nowitzki made two late baskets left-handed — despite a torn tendon on the middle finger of that non-shooting hand. He finished with 24 points.

Nowitzki was hurt in Game 1 when he slapped at the ball trying to make a steal from Chris Bosh. Nowitzki fiddled with various braces and splints over the last two days before settling on a small one that would allow

him to keep a good feel of the ball.

Dwyane Wade had 36 points for Miami, but his desperation three-pointer was off at the buzzer.

“I thought defensively we really got into them,” Nowitzki said of the rally. “We pressured them full court and we scrambled defensively. We even gave up some offensive rebounds, but we kept scrambling.”

Game 3 is Sunday in Dallas.

‘Secret’ labor talks go down in Chicago The Associated Press

The NFL and its players completed three straight days of notso-secret talks Thursday. Now they head to an appeals court in St. Louis for a ruling that could prove pivotal in the nearly three-month lockout.

Don’t read too much, though, into the term “confidential settlement discussions” used by the court-appointed mediator.

Commissioner Roger Goodell and several owners were joined by NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith and

a group of players before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan. Both sides issued statements saying they would honor the court-ordered confidentiality agreement. Boylan then canceled mediation sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in Minneapolis.

A person with knowledge of the talks cautioned that the term “settlement negotiations” doesn’t mean an agreement is near.

The meetings this week were Boylan’s way to continue the court-ordered mediation in a different setting and in a different

manner. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because of the judge’s confidentiality order, said the cancellation of next week’s sessions was simply a way to keep the process as private as possible.

More likely than any continued mediation with Boylan would be similar secret meetings between the league and players, who have been locked out by owners since March 12.

In the past, the clandestine approach has been a step toward successful negotiations between

COMMENTARY

Fowler the next great American hope in golf

By Marla Ridenour Akron Beacon Journal

DUBLIN, OHIO — Teenagers wearing his caps in Crayola colors lined the fence beside the scorer’s cabin at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Inside was their Puma Pied Piper, perhaps the only person capable of erasing the stigma of jailhouse orange, his choice of Sunday best, no less. Only he was dressed in bright emerald green, right down to the shoes, not yet available to young golfers watching at home.

“I think this style should be out later this summer,” Rickie Fowler said.

A victory or two for the 2010 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year should solve that problem.

A Fowler orange crush (FYI, the color of his Oklahoma State Cowboys) would also fill the void on the PGA Tour with Tiger Woods sidelined, first by scandal and divorce, now by injury. While international players are dominating the world rankings and gobbling up the major championships, Fowler is the next great American hope.

At the moment, there are others with better credentials. Dustin Johnson has won four times in his career and held the 54hole lead at last year’s U.S. Open and PGA Championship. Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson and Nick Watney have three victories apiece. Fans root for Johnson and Watson because they’re big boppers. Mahan is married to a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Watney’s cousin is former Miss California runner-up Heidi Watney, a Boston Red Sox on-field reporter.

None of them have more of the “it” factor than Fowler.

A former dirt bike rider, Fowler had the audacity to turn his cap backward in the interview room on Tuesday at the Masters Tournament this April, only to have Augusta National member Ron Townsend reach over and turn it forward. Fowler, 22, said he wanted people to see his face, but Townsend would have none of it.

After Fowler shot a 4-under-par 68 on Thursday in the first round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club to trail leaders Rory McIlroy and Chris Riley by 2 shots, Fowler’s cap was back where it belonged — backward.

“It’s easier for me to interact,” Fowler said. “You guys can actually see my face.

When I’m out signing autographs people are able to see my face. I don’t want to hide.”

A breath of color in a too-khaki world, Fowler has the game to go with the charisma.

In 49 career events, he has recorded 11 top 10s and 18 top 25s. He made last year’s Ryder Cup team. He’s finished second three times — at the Frys.com Open in 2009 and at the Phoenix Open and the Memorial in 2010.

Last year at Muirfield Village, Fowler was tied for the first-round lead and held the top spot alone after the second and third rounds.

With Ohio State golf coach Donnie Darr (who recruited him as an Oklahoma State assistant) as his caddie, Fowler didn’t falter until the par-3 12th on Sunday, when he hit into the water and double-bogeyed, ending a streak of 48 holes where he held at least a share of the lead.

Woods, America’s last great star, won all over the world but racked up millions at a favored few courses, like his seven victories at Firestone Country Club. Muirfield could be that kind of place for Fowler.

He hopes so, especially as he presses for his first victory.

“I have some high goals for myself,” Fowler said. “One of my main goals this year was to work on getting my first win. I haven’t been in contention a whole lot. I’m trying to step up. I want to be the best player in the world at some point. We just have a little bit of work to do.”

the league and NFLPA. Such meetings between former union executive director Gene Upshaw and former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue often led to progress on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The talks in a Chicago suburb began Tuesday and carried into Wednesday and Thursday.

“Both sides understand there needs to be a timetable toward getting an agreement,” one of the people with knowledge of the talks said. “There’s hope this will speed up that timetable.”

Li tops Sharapova in French Open semis PARIS — As Maria Sharapova prepared to serve while only a point from defeat in the French Open semifinals, Li Na was thinking what any opponent would at that precise moment.

“I was, like, ’Please, double-fault. That way I can win the match,”’ Li explained to the crowd a few moments later.

Sharapova obliged. Her second serve hit the white tape atop the net and bounced back for Sharapova’s 10th double-fault of an error-filled afternoon, closing Li’s 6-4, 7-5 victory Thursday. The result ended Sharapova’s bid to complete a career Grand Slam, and allowed Li to reach a second consecutive major final.

At the Australian Open in January, Li was the runner-up, the first tennis player from China to reach a major championship match.

At the French Open on Saturday — when she will play defending champion Francesca Schiavone — Li can become the first Grand Slam champion from her nation of more than 1 billion people.

The sixth-seeded Li said she wants her sport to “get bigger and bigger” back home.

Noting that Chinese children probably saw her semifinal on TV, Li said that perhaps “they think that maybe one day, they can do the same — or even better.”

A year ago at Roland Garros, Schiavone became the first woman from Italy to win one of tennis’ four most important titles. But she had failed to make it to the final of any tournament since then, until taking the last four games to beat 11th-seeded Marion Bartoli of France 6-3, 6-3 Thursday.

“When I come here,” the fifth-seeded Schiavone said, “I feel something special.”

GOLF McIlroy leads Memorial DUBLIN, OHIO — Rory McIlroy only gets to play three regular PGA Tour events this year.

He showed Thursday why the Memorial Tournament was one of them.

On a Muirfield Village course that already ranks among his favorites, the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland had a birdie putt on his last eight holes and converted half of them on his way to a 6-under 66 to join Chris Riley in the lead after the first round.

Chris DiMarco and Josh Teater were at 67, followed by a large group at 68 that included Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson, Stewart Cink and Rickie Fowler, the runner-up at the Memorial last year.

Kansas University graduate Gary Woodland shot an even-par 72 and is tied for 52nd.

Horne ahead at Wales Open

Giants’ 3B set to begin rehab ST. LOUIS — San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is set to begin a rehab assignment today.

Sandoval has been on the disabled list while recovering from surgery on his right wrist.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday that Sandoval would play six innings at Class-A San Jose in his first game, then play the next day for the California League team. After that, he’ll play a few more games at Triple-A Fresno.

Bochy said the switch-hitting Sandoval would need four or five games in the minors to get his timing.

HOCKEY Burrows avoids suspension VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Alex Burrows has avoided a suspension in the Stanley Cup finals after NHL officials decided they couldn’t prove the Vancouver Canucks forward bit the finger of Boston’s Patrice Bergeron.

Burrows and Bergeron were involved in a skirmish after the first-period buzzer in Vancouver’s 1-0 series-opening victory over the Bruins on Wednesday night.

Television replays showed Bergeron apparently putting his gloved right index finger in Burrows’ mouth. Bergeron claimed Burrows then bit down on him, but Burrows denied it.

Game 1 earns best rating since ’99 NEW YORK — The opener of the Stanley Cup finals drew the best preliminary rating for a Game 1 in 12 years.

The Vancouver Canucks’ last-second 1-0 win over the Boston Bruins earned a 3.2 overnight rating and 6 share on NBC on Wednesday. That’s up 14 percent from last year’s Philadelphia-Chicago Game 1 and the highest since a 3.7 for Buffalo-Dallas in 1999.

COLLEGES Nebraska hires ex-major leaguer LINCOLN, NEB. — Darin Erstad goes into his first job as a head coach with the confidence one would expect from a guy who played 14 years in the majors and was a two-time All-Star.

Nebraska hired Erstad on Thursday to lead his alma mater’s baseball program into the Big Ten, and his immediate goals are high.

“Win the Big Ten championship, go to a regional, super regional and on to the College World Series,” Erstad said at his introductory news conference. “There are no points for second place in my book.”

Erstad, who turns 37 on Saturday, is known to Cornhuskers. He was the punter on Nebraska’s 1994 national championship football team and the first pick of the 1995 major league draft.

Big 12 finalizes new plan for hoops tourneys

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Finishing among the top six in the regular season will be rewarded with a first-round bye in the redesigned men’s and women’s Big 12 basketball tournaments.

It’s one of the last adjustments the league had to make after Colorado and Nebraska dropped out this year and reduced the league to 10. As a

spent 13 seasons coaching in the NFL. From 1997-2000, he served as the defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings.

From 2001-04 he worked with the Denver Broncos, holding down three different jobs, all with the secondary. From 2006-08 he was the DB’s coach in Kansas City and, most recently, he spent the 2009-10 seasons in Houston coaching defensive backs for head coach Gary Kubiak.

Gibbs dipped back down to the collegiate level once during the past 14 years. In 2005, he was the defensive coordinator at Auburn.

Gibbs currently is out of work. Though he has an impressive resume, it’s a little

12-team league, only the top four teams received byes.

Under the new format, seeds No. 8 and 9 and 7 and 10 will play on the first day. Then the quarterfinals will match No. 4 vs. No. 5, No. 3 vs. No. 6, No. 1 vs. the 8-9 winner and No. 2 vs. the 7-10 winner.

The league spent several months studying various possibilities before adopting the new plan at its annual meetings on Thursday.

“It went through our coach-

es groups, went through our administrative groups, went all the way up the ladder,” said commissioner Dan Beebe. “I think there was consideration of all sorts of formats. After all the discussion and debates about various benefits and detriments of other formats, it ended up unanimous.”

The league also decided the men’s and women’s tournaments would run concurrently, Wednesday through Saturday. Last year, the women had

an off day between the semifinals and championship game.

“They felt more comfortable eliminating the off day,” conference spokesman Bob Burda said. “They felt if they ended on Sunday it would be somewhat anticlimactic since the men’s championship would have occurred the previous day.”

In another decision that may have more far-reaching implications than are apparent, the Big 12 voted to spon-

light on collegiate experience and that may hurt his chances.

Odds: 12-to-1 The Field You never know who’s going to come into the picture late or who’s being talked to behind the scenes. With that in mind, we have to leave open the possibility that the job will go to someone who’s not on this list. In today’s world, that’s very possible. However, in this scenario, it’s not very likely.

Odds: 25-to-1

(1994-95). As a Nebraska coach, he helped guide the Huskers to two straight Big 12 North titles and consecutive bowl appearances.

son as the Hilltoppers’ defensive coordinator. This offseason, Bowen, 38, and his family moved again, this time to the University of North Texas, where Bowen was hired to serve as the defensive coordinator to head coach Dan McCarney.

Had things not gone so well for Bowen since leaving KU, it’s possible that he would entertain the idea of coming home. However, the Lawrence native is very happy with his current job and believes in what the Mean Green are doing. In addition, he often has expressed a desire to become a head coach someday, and most head coaches aren’t position coaches before they move up, they’re coordinators. Bowen’s in a great spot at an up-and-coming program and would have to be considered a longshot to come back to KU at this point.

Odds: 100-to-1

Doug Colman The only man on this list with direct ties to Nebraska, Colman, now in his second year as linebackers coach at Tulane, played for the Cornhuskers from 1991-95 and coached at NU in 2008-09.

As a player, he was a part of five Big Eight championships and suited up for back-toback national champions

Clint Bowen It’s likely that Bowen’s name was the first that came to mind for many KU fans when first hearing about this opening. And with good reason. Bowen played at KU from 1992-93 and was an assistant coach with the Jayhawks under both Terry Allen and Mark Mangino for 12 seasons.

When Gill was hired Bowen left for Western Kentucky, where he spent the 2010 sea-

Justice Department to meet with BCS

By Frederic J. Frommer The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s antitrust division will meet with the BCS this summer, following up on concerns the department raised with the NCAA about college football’s postseason format.

Bowl Championship Series executive director Bill Hancock told the Associated Press on Thursday that a Justice Department attorney last week asked for a voluntary background briefing on how the BCS operates. Hancock said he agreed to provide one, but that no date has been set yet.

“We view it as an opportunity to make it clear that the BCS was crafted very carefully with antitrust laws in mind,” Hancock said.

The Justice Department

“

I view it as an opportunity, because we’re confident that the BCS is on strong legal ground.”

— Bowl Championship Series executive director Bill Hancock initially raised its concerns with the NCAA, asking why there wasn’t a playoff for college football’s highest level and said there were “serious questions” about whether the current format to d e te r m i n e a n a t i o n a l champion complies with antitrust laws.

But NCAA President Mark Emmert responded in a letter last month that the department’s questions were best directed to the BCS.

Critics who have urged the department to investigate the BCS contend it unfairly gives some schools preferential access to the title game and lucrative, top-tier bowls at the end of the season.

Hancock said he wasn’t concerned with the Justice Department’s request for a meeting.

“We take seriously any connection in Washington, and we’re certainly taking this seriously,” he said. “But I view it as an opportunity, because we’re confident that the BCS is on strong legal ground.”

Under the BCS, the champions of six conferences have automatic bids to play in toptier bowl games; the other five conferences don’t.

But Hancock said that the BCS, which was established in 1998, has improved access to such bowls for those other

five conferences. According to the BCS, schools from those conferences played in such bowls only six times in 54 years, while under the BCS, it happened seven times in the past seven years. Hancock said the system has done a better job pitting the top two teams in a championship game.

Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said at the Big 12 meetings in Kansas City that if the Justice Department were to break up the BCS, “ ... I suspect what we will do is go right back to the old bowl system and the conferences will make their deals — the same things we used to have.

“Then it will give (the media) the opportunity to write editorials about how we should have a playoff system or bring the BCS back.”

Coaches’ wives connect on MarriedToTheGame.net

By Beth Rucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE , T ENN . — Wives who married into some of the nation’s bitterest rivalries are bonding, thanks to connections made on a social networking Website.

Joani Crean and Jerri Painter are two examples.

While Indiana and Purdue are beating each other’s brains out on the court, the wives of Hoosiers coach Tom Crean and Boilermakers coach Matt Painter share hugs, smiles and stories.

“It’s funny because Indiana and Purdue is a pretty tough rivalry,” Crean said. “The guys compete on the court, but there has to be a real-life connection.”

The women met through MarriedToTheGame.net, a Facebook-like site for coaches’ wives. It was created by Roberta Martin, wife of Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin.

More than 700 spouses are members of the site, which is open to wives of collegiate coaches in any sport and allows members to post photos, leave messages or participate in forums. The members share their gameday fashions, talk about bringing children to games or commiserate about their husbands’ absences during recruiting season.

Martin said she had the idea for MarriedToTheGame after her husband left his job as a Purdue assistant and accepted the head coaching position at Missouri State in 2008. She left her own full-time job and

Wade Payne/AP File Photo

IN THIS MARCH 28 FILE PHOTO, ROBERTA MARTIN, CENTER, ATTENDS a news conference as her husband, Cuonzo Martin, left, is introduced as the new Tennessee basketball coach in Knoxville, Tenn. Roberta Martin recently created MarriedToTheGame.net, a social networking site for the wives of collegiate coaches. At right is their daughter, Addison. became a stay-at-home mom in the process.

“It was my first time being a stay-at-home mom, and I was running on the treadmill, and I was like, ’Certainly there are other wives who have gone through this transition,”’ Martin said. “I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have a way to connect with them,’ and I was just getting into Facebook at the time.”

After finding a hosting site, Martin asked her friend Shenetta Webster to help administer the site. Webster and Martin had gotten to know each other when their husbands were both Purdue assistants from 2003-04 and have been reunited in

Knoxville, with Webster’s husband, Tracy, joining Cuonzo Martin’s staff this season.

Transitioning from one city to another while following their husband’s coaching career is one topic members talk about. They reach out to other members who can help them become familiar with their new homes, advertise a home for sale or just talk about the stresses that come from frequent relocations.

Connie Whitesell is currently in the middle of her own relocation after husband Jim was fired from Loyola and accepted a job as a Saint Louis assistant. Through connections on MarriedToTheGame, she’s gotten to

know St. Louis as she prepares to move there from Chicago.

“I think the thing I appreciate it the most is that there are some really unique challenges that are faced by the families and spouses of coaches,” she said. “All the movement that goes on and how your husband can get a new job and have to be there within hours while the spouses are coordinating the efforts back at home.”

That’s one reason why it’s helpful for spouses to have a support network, said sports psychologist Bill Cole, a former collegiate tennis player and coach.

“You don’t feel so strange or ostracized,” said Cole, who is also founder and president of the International Mental Game Coaching Association. “It normalizes what they’re going through.

They realize, ’Wow, I’m not the only one, although I still don’t like it.”’

Martin said her husband would joke that he’d lost his wife to MarriedToTheGame as she and Webster put many hours into developing the Website early on. But the coach came to appreciate it when he attended the Final Four the following year and was approached by coaches whose wives were excited about the site.

“There’s constant feedback that we get when we run into wives at national conventions and at games,” Martin said.

“They always say, ‘I was thinking, why wasn’t there something like this when I found your site.”’

sor championships in rowing and equestrian, adding both as women’s sports. Presently, only Kansas, Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma have rowing teams and only KState, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas A&M have equestrian.

But making these sports subject to conference eligibility requirements means they can help schools neutralize football’s impact on Title IX gender requirements.

Squad limits will be 52 for rowing and 32 for equestrian.

“The feeling is as institutions go forward and look at possible expansion, they’ll look at those two activities,” Beebe said. “We are increasing tremendously the opportunities for women.”

The Big 12 also voted to increase from $7,500 to $9,000 the Prentice Gautt postgraduate scholarship awards, given every year to two student-athletes at each Big 12 school.

Daniels, who is Rivals.com’s No. 10-rated player nationally in the recruiting class of 2011, has a list of KU, Texas, Oregon, Oklahoma State and San Diego State. Zagsblog.net reported Thursday that UConn has tried to enter the mix. UConn coach Jim Calhoun has yet to announce whether he’ll be back next season.

As far as Daniels’ whereabouts ... “He’s here,” IMG Academies director of basketball Andy Borman told SNY.tv Thursday from the school in Bradenton, Fla. “We love him.

CLEVELAND — Endy Chavez had four hits and the Texas Rangers overcame a threerun deficit to beat the Cleveland Indians 7-4 Thursday night.

Yorvit Torrealba drove in two runs and Nelson Cruz twice doubled to start threerun rallies as the defending AL champions won for the fourth time in their last five road games.

Chavez had a run-scoring triple and scored in a threerun sixth against Carlos Carrasco (4-3) that put Texas ahead 6-3. His ninth four-hit game tied a career high. Since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on May 14, he is hitting .415 (17 of 41).

Michael Kirkman (1-0) earned his first career win.

The left-hander allowed one run over three innings in his 18th career relief outing.

Neftali Perez pitched the ninth for his 12th save in 15 chances.

TEXAS RANGERS’ NELSON CRUZ, RIGHT, SLIDES INTO HOME PLATE, beating the tag by Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana in the sixth inning of the Rangers’ 7-4 victory on Thursday in Cleveland.

Mariners 8, Rays 2 SEATTLE — Rookie Carlos Peguero hit two of Seattle’s season-high four home runs, all off James Shields, and ace Felix Hernandez cruised through seven innings to lead the Mariners to victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.

Peguero hit a three-run homer as part of Seattle’s fiverun second, then added a solo homer in the fourth.

First baseman Justin Smoak and outfielder Jack Cust also hit solo home runs for the Mariners, who roughed up

Shields (5-4) for a season-high seven earned runs.

With eight runs, Hernandez (6-4) must have felt as if he got a month worth of run support.

The American League Cy Young champion from a season ago struck out 11 — his third-time this season with 10 or more strikeouts — and gave up just five hits in seven strong innings.

The outing marked Hernandez’s sixth straight quality start. The victory marked Seattle’s seventh win in its last 10 games.

N E W Y O R K — Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer started New York’s rally from a seven-run def icit, Ruben Tejada finished it off with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and the Mets held off the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-8, on Thursday afternoon.

The Mets’ beat-up bullpen hung tough the final four innings to salvage a split of the four-game series.

Jason Isringhausen (1-0) worked the eighth for the win, and Francisco Rodriguez survived Neil Walker’s RBI single in the ninth for his 16th save.

After a tongue-lashing from manager Terry Collins the previous night, New York found itself in a 7-0 hole by the third inning.

Beltran’s homer gave the Mets some momentum, but the deficit stood until they scored four times with two outs in the sixth inning to knot the game.

Nationals 6, Diamondbacks 1 PHOENIX — Jordan Zimmermann pitched seven impressive innings and Wilson Ramos drove in three runs, lifting the Washington Nationals to a 6-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday night.

Washington roughed up Arizona starter Zach Duke (11) in the first inning and had 13 hits to open an 11-game road trip with its first win in six tries away from Nationals Park.

Michael Morse had four hits and drove in two, Zimmermann (3-6) won for the first time in five starts and Drew Storen got four outs for his 11th save in 12 chances.

Arizona rallied from a fourrun deficit and beat Florida on a game-ending hit Wednesday night, but didn’t get many chances against Zimmermann and went hitless in eight at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Astros 7, Padres 4 SAN DIEGO — Chris Johnson homered and the Houston Astros used a five-run third inning to beat the sloppy San Diego Padres in a matchup of the NL’s two worst teams.

The Astros (23-34), last in the NL Central, have won the first four games of a sevengame trip, their longest winning streak of the season. The Padres (24-33), last in the NL West, dropped to 9-21 at

home, worst in the NL. They came in hitting a major league-worst .199 at home.

Johnson homered to left on a 1-0 pitch from Tim Stauffer (1-4) with one out in the fifth for a 7-2 lead. It was his sixth.

That helped make a winner of Bud Norris (3-4).

Norris went six-plus innings, allowing four runs and six hits while striking out six and walking two. Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his fifth save in seven chances.

The Astros had 11 hits.

Hunter Pence extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a third-inning single.

Carlos Lee had an RBI double and Brett Wallace an RBI groundout. J.R. Towles was credited with an RBI when shortstop Jason Bartlett bobbled his slow grounder, allowing Towles to reach and Lee to score. Norris drove in a run with a fielder’s choice and another run scored on the play on second baseman Logan Forsythe.

The Padres said nearly 1,000 season-ticket holders donated their tickets to military members and their families.

COMMENTARY

Escobar’s shortcomings at plate neutralize shortstop’s stellar ‘D’ Charlie Riedel/AP Photo

MINNESOTA’S DELMON YOUNG (21) IS WELCOMED into the dugout after scoring on a single hit by Matt Tolbert in the third inning. The Twins breezed by the Royals, 8-2, on Thursday in Kansas City, Mo.

jnewell@ljworld.com

Twins topple Royals, 8-2 K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Anthony Swarzak could be going back to Minnesota’s bullpen after picking up his first victory in nearly two years.

Swarzak pitched six effecting innings, Michael Cuddyer drove in two runs and the Twins beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-2, on Thursday night.

The Twins snapped a fourgame losing streak and won for the third time in 13 games.

Swarzak (1-2), who was making his third start after beginning the season in the minors and initially working in relief when he was recalled May 16, limited the Royals to seven hits and two runs. He last won on July 26, 2009.

Despite that success, Francisco Liriano will likely come off the disabled list and start Tuesday. When he does return, manager Ron Gardenhire said Swarzak would go back to the bullpen.

“I just want to pitch,” Swarzak said. “Pitching is great. After spending all of last year in Triple-A that humbled me a little bit. I just want the ball. I don’t care when it is or where it is. I’ve just got to get outs. I don’t expect Liriano to get moved to the bullpen at all. He’s a phenomenal pitcher. He’s fun to watch.”

After taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his previous start against the Los Angeles Angels, Swarzak gave up a run on two hits and a walk in the first against the Royals.

“Swarzak hung in there.”

Gardenhire said. “He wasn’t perfect by any means, but he battled through a lot. He was up in the zone an awful lot, but made pitches when he had to and got us deep into the game.”

Swarzak threw 99 pitches against the Royals after 105 pitches against the Angels.

“I felt like I bounced back pretty well,” Swarzak said. “I wasn’t expecting to, but I did.

I expected to be a little sore

after not throwing too many pitches coming out of the bullpen and then throwing 100-plus pitches out of nowhere. I expected to be a little sore. I was for a couple of days.”

Minnesota sent 10 men to the plate in a six-run third, scoring four unearned runs after Mike Aviles made a throwing error. Denard Span, Matt Tolbert and Rene Rivera had RBI singles and Cuddyer hit a run-scoring double.

Justin Morneau scored on Aviles’ error. Rivera scored on a wild pitch for the other run.

“Our offense had one big inning, which was huge, a lot of big hits,” Gardenhire said.

“We overcame a baserunning mistake which we haven’t been doing. We overcame that and got a lot of big two-out hits.”

Royals starter Sean O’Sulli2 van was pulled after 2 ⁄ 3 innings, retiring only eight of the 19 batters he faced. He gave up seven runs — three earned — on eight hits, two walks, a hit batter and a wild pitch.

“Sully battled his command,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He threw some quality pitches in spurts, some fastballs that he was throwing downhill and then he threw some fastballs that were flat. We could have helped him out there, too (on defense). For the most part they just found some holes.”

In his past four starts, O’Sullivan is 0-3 with a 13.25 ERA, allowing 51 base runners — 39 hits, 10 walks and two hit batters — and 30 runs, 26 2 earned, in 17 ⁄3 innings. O’Sullivan (2-5) was replaced by rookie right-hander Nate Adcock in the third.

Cuddyer also drove in a run in the first on a groundout.

Span and Tolbert each had two hits and a RBI to pace the Twins’ 10-hit attack.

Jeff Francoeur went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple and drove in both Kansas City runs.

Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar’s defense might be fun to watch this season, but Royals fans shouldn’t go too far in their admiration for the 24-yearold.

With as horrible as his bat has been, Escobar needs to field at a gold-glove caliber to have any value on a majorleague team.

So just how bad has Escobar been at the plate this year?

Entering Thursday’s game, among players who qualify for the batting title (having at least 3.1 plate appearances per team game played): ● His .212 average ranked 12th-worst among all players.

Unfortunately, average is Escobar’s best offensive statistic. ● His on-base percentage of .249 was fourth-worst among all players. ● His slugging percentage of .249 is worst among all players. He is one of only four players that qualify for the batting title without a triple or a home run this season. Of Escobar’s 41 hits, he’s managed 34 singles and seven doubles. ● FanGraphs.com has a statistic called “weighted runs created plus” that measures a player’s total offensive value compared to league average. With the statistic, 100 is average and every point below is a percentage point below league average.

So far this season, Escobar’s wRC+ is 31, meaning he is 69-percent worse at creating runs than the average MLB player.

Last year, Baltimore’s Cesar Izturis had the worst wRC+ at 46, and he was the only player under 60 in the statistic.

In fact, no player that has qualified for the batting title has posted a 31 or lower in wRC+ since Minnesota Twins catcher Matt Walbeck back in 1994 — some 17 seasons ago.

Escobar’s flashy glovework is hiding the fact that the Royals are trotting out one of the worst MLB hitters of the last two decades almost every day.

I’m sure part of the reason the Royals wanted to acquire Escobar was the hope that he could improve his hitting.

Last season, Escobar’s slash line (average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) was .235/.288/.326, and

The problem is, Escobar has a long ways to go to even become a below-average MLB hitter. That would most likely require either a boost in power or an increase in plate discipline — two skills that might be tough to teach a skinny shortstop that has a history of being a freeswinger.

Royals fans shouldn’t just enjoy these defensive plays that Escobar is making — they should expect them.

If a player isn’t going to hit for average, get on base or hit for power, then his defense had better be pretty darned impressive.

Mavericks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

when the Heat led, 88-73, with 7:15 remaining, Dallas held the Heat to just one field goal from there, a three-pointer by former Kansas University standout Mario Chalmers with 24.5 seconds that tied it just 2 seconds after Nowitzki’s three-pointer had made it 93-90.

But after a timeout, Jason Kidd ran the clock down before getting the ball to Nowitzki, who drove into the lane, spun back to the left and made the layup.

Terry, largely silent since the first half of Game 1, fueled the comeback with a couple of jumpers and finished with 16 points.

Shawn Marion had 20 points for the Mavericks, who had lost four straight finals games in Miami since taking a 2-0 lead in the 2006 series.

They were about to go down 2-0 this time before Nowitzki, who insisted his injured finger wouldn’t hinder him, led a rally even more amazing than the one that

“Just a different series, but we always believe we can come back,” Marion said.

LeBron James scored 20 points for the Heat.

He and Wade were running by and over the older Mavs for three quarters, and it appeared the only thing that could slow them down was

that big trophy they would soon be holding.

Not so fast.

Wade angered the Mavs, particularly Terry, when he held his follow through after his three-pointer from the corner with 7:15 left capped a 13-0 run and made it 88-73.

The Heat suddenly went cold, holding the ball too long on possessions and forcing James and Wade to attempt long jumpers with the shot clock winding down. A series of those missed jumpers eventually ended with the Mavs getting possession, and Nowitzki making a layup that tied it at 90 with 57 seconds to play.

The Heat lost for the first time in 10 games at home in the playoffs and will have to win at least once in Dallas to force the series back here.

The Heat held the Mavs, whose offense was so precise in their victories over the Lakers and Oklahoma City, to one of their worst performances of the postseason in Game 1.

Yet Miami didn’t expect to shut down Dallas the way it did Boston and Chicago in the last two rounds.

“We know what to expect from them. They are going to

hit back. And we wouldn’t expect anything less than that,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game. “We have got to bring our best defensive game, knowing that that’s a very poised, veteran ballclub. They’ve been able to bounce back in their losses in the playoffs very well.”

Miami weathered the early storm and appeared to have nothing to worry about in the second half.

Just when Dallas got it down to four late in the period, James drove right for a powerful slam that left Tyson Chandler throwing his hands up in the air as if to say “How do we stop that?”

Eventually they did.

And they turned the tables on the Heat, who pulled off a stunning comeback of their own to spark the turnaround in the 2006 series.

Dallas had a double-digit lead midway through the fourth quarter of Game 3 of that one, Wade brought Miami back, and the Heat never looked back.

Game 2 win puts NBA Finals in Mavs’ court

MIAMI — You don’t win 57 regular-season games, sweep Phil Jackson into retirement and win five straight road playoff games without having some serious staying power.

THE DALLAS MAVERICKS REACT after Miami’s Dwyane Wade misses a shot as time runs out in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Even after Mario Chalmers answered with an impossible three-pointer from the corner, the Mavericks weren’t done.

Nowitzki made sure of that.

The series now moves to Dallas, where the Mavericks could seize control by winning Game 3 on Sunday night.

Before this one, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra used some interesting phraseology when referring to the Mavericks’ bounceback powers.

“We expect a response from Dallas,” he said.

No mention of “championship response,” as had been the case during the Celtics series two rounds ago, because, well, the Mavs don’t have any rings.

Not just in Dallas, mind you, but everywhere else as well.

Combined, the graying

Mavs have 118 seasons of NBA experience without a single championship to show for it.

Oh, they have a couple of future Hall of Famers in Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, at 38 the oldest starting point guard in Finals history.

However, neither man has been crowned yet.

After the amazing events of Thursday night, this might be the year.

Game 2 brought some different looks after both teams failed to crack the 40-percent mark from the field in the opener.

Bosh spent some time guarding Nowitzki after avoiding him completely in the opener.

Kidd tried to guard James

— with an emphasis on “tried.”

The teams combined to shoot just over 50 percent through three quarters after Tuesday’s exercise in ugly.

The Mavericks also mostly delivered on coach Rick Carlisle’s pregame promise to fix things after the Heat dominated the offensive glass for 16 rebounds in the opener.

This time the Heat had just one offensive rebound in the first quarter, but it was posterworthy: LeBron grabbing an errant Mike Bibby threepointer off the rim and tomahawking it home in one angry motion.

It didn’t help that Bibby, who came in shooting just 25 percent in the playoffs, knocked down four three-pointers.

If Bibby was going to make his share, too, how are the Mavericks — or any team — supposed to compete?

Somehow, the Mavericks found a way.

All of which called to mind the following scene two hours before Thursday’s tip.

As the pregame crowd poured out of the Bayside parking deck, a stroller-pushing father with his wife and three young kids spotted a ticket scalper.

“What are they showing?”

Stroller Dad said.

“NBA Finals,” the businessman responded. “Dwyane Wade, LeBron James — the best.”

Stroller Dad shrugged and just kept walking.

Poor guy had no idea.

WNBA PREVIEW

Storm open as favorites to repeat as champs

By Vin A. Cherwoo Associated Press Sports Writer

The Seattle Storm had such a dominant run to the WNBA championship last year, they are the overwhelming favorites to win again as the league opens its 15th season this weekend.

The Storm rolled through the regular season with a 28-6 mark — the only team in the Western Conference with a winning record — and then went 7-0 in the playoffs to win the franchise’s second championship.

“You have to start with Seattle, because not only did they win the championship, but the way they won the championship and their run through the West a year ago,” San Antonio coach Dan Hughes said. “Plus they’ve added Katie Smith. And that is a pretty significant quality to add to an already championship caliber team.”

The season tips off Friday night when Candace Parker and the Los Angeles Sparks host Seimone Augustus, Maya Moore and the Minnesota Lynx. Seattle opens on Satur-

day, hosting Phoenix in one of four games on the schedule.

Seattle will be trying to become the first team to win consecutive titles since Los Angeles in 2001-02. Houston won the league’s first four titles from 1997-2000.

The Storm acquired Smith, a 12-year veteran who won two titles with Detroit, from Washington in a three-team trade in April. She joins a Seattle squad led by threetime MVP Lauren Jackson, Sue Bird and Swin Cash.

Smith, a hard-nosed defender with career averages of 15.2 points per game and 37-percent shooting from 3-point range, also gives the Storm another offensive option.

“We have so many weapons that are out there,” Cash said. “(Smith) can come do her thing and if you forget, she’s going to burn you for 20. I think that’s what makes people scared about this team, is having her here.”

In the East, the Atlanta Dream made a surprising run to the WNBA finals in their third season, sweeping the conference’s top two seeds — Washington and New York —

“

You have to start with Seattle, because not only did they win the championship but the way they won the championship and their run through the West a year ago.”

— Dan Hughes, head coach San Antonio Silver Stars before falling short in the championship round. The Dream were swept in three games by Seattle, but lost by a total of eight points.

Atlanta then acquired point guard Lindsey Harding from Washington and figures to be the conference’s team to beat.

“Lindsey brings speed and quickness to that position, plus she can score,” Meadors said. “One of the things we really needed to address was our point guard position needed to be able to score.”

Harding fit that bill, averaging 12.4 points and 4.3 assists the last two seasons with the Mystics. She solidif ies a Dream lineup led by 2009 Rookie of the Year Angel McCoughtry, Iziane Castro Marques, Sancho Lyttle and Erika DeSouza.

“The Atlanta Dream have a

lot of young talent and players and most importantly they’ve kept their core together,” Mystics star Alana Beard said. “(Harding) knows the game really well. Just adding her to the Dream will make them an even stronger team.”

Atlanta will likely be challenged by the Liberty, coming off a franchise-record 22-win season, and Indiana, which has won at least 21 games five of the last six years.

New York will be playing under a new coach — John Whisenant, who led Sacramento to the championship in 2005.

“We definitely need to pick up where we left off,” All-Star guard Cappie Pondexter said.

“We lost in the conference finals. It left a taste that wasn’t really satisfying.”

Indiana signed veteran cen-

ter Tangela Smith, who won two titles in Phoenix. The Fever lost to the Liberty in the first round of the playoffs, a year after reaching the WNBA finals.

“We want to do what we did in the ’09 season,” Indiana star Tamika Catchings said. “We definitely have the talent and its all about putting things together.”

Sheryl Swoopes, one of the league’s original players, is back this season after sitting out two years. Swoopes signed with Tulsa in March after being recruited by Shock assistant coach Teresa Edwards to bring veteran leadership to a team that finished 6-28 in its first season after moving from Detroit.

“I didn’t pick the team, the team picked me,” the 40-yearold Swoopes said. “I really wasn’t looking to come back to the WNBA. I took the time to think about if it was something that I really wanted to do.”

Swoopes is one of two players left from the WNBA’s first season in 1997, joining former Houston Comets teammate Tina Thompson. However,

Thompson — beginning her third year with Los Angeles — is the only player to have appeared in every season.

In the West, Los Angeles and Phoenix could challenge the Storm. The Sparks have a healthy Parker, who was limited to just 10 games due to a shoulder injury, and the Mercury have a rested Diana Taurasi.

Taurasi, who talked last year about missing a WNBA season to recharge, hasn’t played competitively since December, when she was told she had tested positive for the banned stimulant modafanil and was subsequentlly suspended by the Turkish League. The four-time scoring champion was vindicated two months later when the lab that conducted the test retracted its report.

Minnesota has also generated a lot of buzz with its core of young players and could be a strong postseason contender after adding Moore with the f irst pick in the WNBA draft.

Of whales, brides and June The documentary series “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) enters its fourth ten-episode season with the captain and crew of the Sea Shepherd smelling victory. Or maybe not. Their prey, the Japanese Whale processing ship the Nisshin Maru returned to its home port in mid-February.

But was this a victory in the war to end whaling? Or merely the end of one battle?

Not to give too much away here, but how can you have a fourth season of “Whale Wars” without an ongoing war? What are they going to do? Declare “Whale Peace"?

The hardware engaged, and occasionally destroyed, on this series has escalated with each passing season. This year, the activists will unveil their new small vessel, The Gojira.

The reasons for the success of “Whale Wars” are not hard to fathom. In some ways it reflects the most effective adaptation of the “reality” documentary style to exciting storytelling. It features the gorgeous photography associated with nature films and marries that to a high-stakes drama with a deliberate point of view. The season premiere is called “No Compromise.”

You don’t have to agree with the action of the Sea Shepherds to recognize that they are willing to die for their cause. Or see that they could die at any minute. At the same time, one man’s zealot is another’s fanatic. How far will they go? And how far will viewer’s sympathies extend? It’s fitting and perhaps not entirely coincidental that this series takes place at sea and concerns a whale-obsessed captain. As in “Moby Dick,” the reader/viewer is taken on a ride by a man who straddles the line between mystic and mad man. ● June brides take center stage on TCM with several classics, including the original “Father of the Bride” (7 p.m., TCM) from 1950. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, this flawless film turns a bride’s (Elizabeth Taylor) tale into a deft comedic examination of the neurosis of her middle aged “pop” (Spencer Tracy). Taken out of context, much of Tracy’s voice-over would sound savage, even deranged.

Yet what emerges is one of the most wistful and funny and best-loved wedding movies ever made. And please don’t bring up the needless Steve Martin remake. As with “It’s a Wonderful Life,” sometimes sentimental movies have to travel through the dark side to achieve true greatness.

“June Bride” (9 p.m., TCM) and “High Society” (11 p.m.) follow. ● Inside stuff: This marks the last time this column will be edited and distributed

Dear Annie: I have two daughters, “Kathy” and her younger sister, “Carly,” both in their late 20s. Carly and I have always had a rocky relationship, stemming from my being the disciplinarian since my wife refused to do it. Kathy always seemed more understanding and forgiving.

After Carly graduated and I no longer sent her monthly checks, she stopped speaking to me. She only contacted me when she needed something.

Last fall, she had my first grandchild. I didn’t even know she was pregnant until I got a card from her a few months after the baby was born. I still don’t know the baby’s name, sex or birth date or if Carly married the father. I don’t even know who the father is.

I’m heartbroken, not only because Carly kept it a secret, but because Kathy also kept it from me. Kathy says she didn’t want to get involved because it was between Carly and me.

Romney opens presidential bid in N.H.

By Philip Elliott and Holly Ramer Associated Press Writers

STRATHAM , N.H. — Just as Mitt Romney declared he’s in, it’s suddenly looking like he might have more big-name competition for the Republican presidential nomination.

While Romney made his candidacy official in New Hampshire on Thursday, political stars Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani caused a stir of their own with visits to the first-in-the-nation primary state. Both made sure to assail the health care law approved while Romney was governor of neighboring Massachusetts.

And rumblings about Texas Gov. Rick Perry, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota further challenged Romney’s standing as the closest thing the GOP has to a front-runner to take on President Barack Obama in November 2012. Bachmann plans to take part in a presidential debate in New Hampshire on June 13, an aide said Thursday.

Unswayed by possible competitors, Romney declared to cheers on a sunny farm in southern New Hampshire, “I’m Romney Mitt Romney and I believe in America.

And I’m running for president of the United States.”

The former governor and business executive aggressively challenged Democratic President Obama while trying to pitch himself to the coalition that makes up the modern GOP: fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, evangelicals and libertarians.

Romney included nods to all as he sought to make himself the candidate with the broadest appeal and best shot at sending Obama home to Chicago as a one-term president.

“It breaks my heart to see what is happening to this great country,” Romney said.

“No, Mr. President, you had your chance.”

Romney, who lost the GOP

nomination to John McCain in 2008, hopes it’s now his turn. He comes to a Republican presidential contest that lacks a true front-runner and could be unsettled with new names. Repeated polls show party members unimpressed with or indifferent to the declared candidates.

Romney’s strengths are substantial: He’s well known, and he’s an experienced campaigner. He has a personal fortune and an existing network of donors. He has a successful businessman’s record and knows the logistics of a national campaign.

But he must confront his own record of changing positions on social issues including abortion and gay rights, shifts that have left conservatives questioning his sincerity. He also has struggled to allay some skepticism of his Mormon faith.

On top of that, Romney championed a health care law enacted in Massachusetts that’s similar to Obama’s national health overhaul, which conservatives despise.

His rivals, giving him unwelcome company in New

Hampshire, weren’t about to let that go.

“The reality is that Obamacare and Romneycare are almost exactly the same,” Giuliani said in North Conway. “It’s not very helpful trying to distinguish them. I would think the best way to handle it is to say, ‘it was a terrible mistake and if I could do it over again, I wouldn’t do it.’”

Palin, too, criticized Romney for the health care law.

“In my opinion any mandate coming from government is not a good thing, so obviously ... there will be more explanation coming from former Gov. Romney on his support for government mandates,” Palin said in Boston, where Romney is basing his campaign.

Romney nodded to the challenges.

“If I ran through all my mistakes, Ann would love it, and you’d be here all night,” Romney said with a smiling reference to his wife, who was at his side. He called for repeal of the Democrats’ national plan but did not explicitly acknowledge his own hurdle.

E. coli outbreak blamed on ‘super-toxic’ strain LONDON (AP) — Scientists on Thursday blamed Europe’s worst recorded food-poisoning outbreak on a “supertoxic” strain of E. coli bacteria that may be brand new.

But while suspicion has fallen on raw tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce as the source of the germ, researchers have been unable to pinpoint the food responsible for the frightening illness, which has killed at least 18 people, sickened more than 1,600 and spread to least 10 European countries.

An alarming number of victims — about 500 — have developed kidney complications that can be deadly.

Chinese and German scientists analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bacteria and determined that the outbreak was caused by “an entirely new, super-toxic”

strain that contains several antibiotic-resistant genes, according to a statement from the Shenzhen, Chinabased laboratory BGI. It said the strain appeared to be a combination of two types of E. coli.

“This is a unique strain that has never been isolated from patients before,” Hilde Kruse, a food safety expert at the World Health Organization, told The Associated Press.

The new strain has “various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing” than the many E. coli strains people naturally carry in their intestines.

However, Dr. Robert Tauxe, a foodborne-disease expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, questioned whether the strain is truly new, saying it had previously caused a sin-

gle case in Korea in the 1990s.

He said genetic fingerprints may vary from specimen to specimen, but that is not necessarily enough to constitute a new strain.

“Though it appears to have been around awhile, it hasn’t called attention to itself as a major public health problem before,” Tauxe said.

Elsewhere in Europe, Russia extended a ban on vegetables from Spain and Germany to the entire European Union to try to stop the outbreak spreading east, a move the EU quickly called disproportionate and Italy’s farmers denounced as “absurd.” No deaths or infections have been reported in Russia.

Some scientists suspect the deadly E. coli might have been in manure used to fertilize vegetables.

Kruse said it is not uncom-

mon for bacteria to evolve and swap genes. It is difficult to explain where the new strain came from, she said, but bacteria from humans and animals easily trade genes.

Previous E. coli outbreaks have mainly hit children and the elderly, but this one is disproportionately affecting adults, especially women.

Kruse said there might be something particular about the bacteria strain that makes it more dangerous for adults. Other experts said women tend to eat more produce.

Nearly all the sick either live in Germany or recently traveled there. British officials announced four new cases, including three Britons who recently visited Germany and a German on vacation in England.

BRIEFLY Gov. reimburses state for helicopter flights TRENTON, N.J. — After a firestorm of criticism, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made an about-face Thursday, reimbursing the state for his personal use of a state police helicopter because he said the story had become a distraction from the real problems facing the state.

Christie said of the two baseball game trips that he was just trying to balance his role as governor and as a father.

“I’m governor 24-7 ... but I am also a father. And the fact of the matter is sometime when you are a governor, you do not control your schedule,” he said at a bill signing ceremony in Denville.

Christie’s reversal came a day after a spokesman said

‘My Plate’ replaces food pyramid as healthy-eating guide

By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — There’s a new U.S. symbol for healthful eating: The Agriculture Department unveiled “My Plate” on Thursday, abandoning the food pyramid that had guided many Americans but merely confused others.

The new guide is divided into four slightly differentsized quadrants, with fruits and vegetables taking up half the space and grains and protein making up the other half.

The vegetables and grains portions are the largest of the four.

Gone are the old pyramid’s references to sugars, fats or oils. What was once a category called “meat and beans” is now simply “proteins,” making way for seafood and vegetarian options like tofu. Next to the plate is a blue circle for dairy, which could be a glass of milk or a food such as cheese or yogurt.

Some critics, including congressional Republicans, have charged the Obama administration of reaching too far in trying to make Americans eat healthier, especially when it comes to new rules that tell schools what children can eat on campus.

The new plate is simply guidance for those looking to improve their diet, however.

It’s supposed to be a suggestion, not a direction, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“We are not telling people what to eat; we are giving them a guide,” he said. “We’re not suggesting they should not have a cookie or dessert; that’s not what it’s about.”

Vilsack said the new round chart shows that nutrition

doesn’t have to be complicated. After almost 20 years of leaders preaching good eating through a food pyramid the department now says was overly complex, obesity rates have skyrocketed. He showed off the new plate with first lady Michelle Obama, who has made healthful diets for children a priority through her “Let’s Move” campaign.

“Parents don’t have the time to measure out exactly three ounces of protein,” Obama said as she introduced the new graphic. “We do have time to look at our kids’ plates.”

The department is planning to use social media — posting advice every day on Twitter, for example. The address of the accompanying website, choosemyplate.gov, is written on the chart. That website will eventually feature interactive tools that help people manage their weight and track their exercise.

The new chart is designed to be “more artistic and attractive” and to serve as a visual cue for diners, said Robert Post of the Agriculture Department’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. He has spent two years developing the plate and the website.

Though the plate is divided into four different-sized sections, the servings don’t have to be proportional, Post says.

Every person has different nutritional needs, based on age, health and other factors.

The graphic is based on new department dietary guidelines released in January. Those guidelines, which are revised every five years, tell people to drastically reduce salt and continue limiting saturated fats.

the governor would not make a reimbursement, defending the trips as appropriate. On Thursday, Christie said state police told him he wasn’t required to reimburse the state for use of the helicopter, but told reporters, “I also understand this is a really fun media story for all of you.”

“I want to make sure the public understands that I’m doing this because of the duty I feel to them to have my attention,” Christie said.
