Appliances consume electricity even when off

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

We wouldn’t walk out of a room without turning off the lights. But chances are many of us routinely leave home with a host of unused appliances still drawing energy.

From video game consoles to microwaves, many of our appliances go into standby power mode when turned off. It’s what keeps the clock ticking on the coffee maker or the light blinking on the electric toothbrush.

The concept is known as phantom load, or a more menacing term: vampire energy. And according to

the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, between 5 and 10 percent of residential electricity use goes toward powering phantom loads.

Sometimes standby power is needed. Without it, our DVRs wouldn’t record the latest episode of “Real Housewives of New York.”

But, when you’re talking about the rarely used TV and VCR in the spare bedroom, it can seem like a waste of money. And, over time, an outdated stereo system on standby mode becomes a fairly expensive clock.

To figure out just how much energy was being wasted in homes, we plugged several electronic items into a Kill-A-Watt reader ($28, Home Depot), which calculates how much energy appliances are using. From there, we figured out what it would cost if the appliance were in standby mode constantly for a year.

Of course readings will change

based on the brand or age of the appliance. But research shows cable boxes tend to be the biggest villains of vampire energy. They also tend to be the most cumbersome to turn on and off.

For tips on curbing phantom loads, go online to energysavers.gov or standby.lbl.gov. Also visit SunflowerHorizons.com, where staff and readers are encouraged to post information on how much energy their electronics are using when we think they shouldn’t be using any at all.

Students in the Lawrence school district scored collectively higher on standardized tests during the past year, enough for the district to once again meet federal standards.

The district, with nearly 11,000 students, made the mandated “adequate yearly progress” (AYP) on assessments in both reading and math, as outlined through the No Child Left Behind legislation put in SCHOOLS place during the Bush administration.

Last year the district as a whole had missed such standards because three of its identified subgroups — students with disabilities, students receiving free and reduced-price lunches, and black students — fell short of assessment standards. But even as prof iciency standards climbed for 2010-11, the district as a whole hit or surpassed standards in all categories and among all 20 subgroups tracked.

The improvement is being hailed by district leaders as a collective achievement.

“I challenged everyone last year to get a little bit better, and that meant everyone: Every school needed to get more kids proficient on the Kansas assessments,” Superintendent Rick Doll said. “And they did.”

The standards for 2010-11 call for certain percentages of students to score “meets standard” or higher on the assessment tests: ● Grades 3-8: 87.8 percent in reading, and 86.7 percent in math. ● Grades 9-12: 86 percent in reading, and 82.3 percent.

Some schools didn’t meet the assessment standards. Those schools and student subgroups in which they fell short: ● Deerfield School — Reading and math, for students with disabilities, students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches. ● Hillcrest School — Math, for students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches, English language learners, Hispanic students. ● Kennedy School — Math, for students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches, white students. ● Prairie Park School — Reading, for students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches, students with disabilities; and math, for all students, Please see SCHOOLS, page 2A

Buffalo iconic part of state history Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories written in conjunction with Kansas’ 150th birthday.

B A R B E R C O U N T Y — Buffaloes dot the prairie like a scene from Frederic Remington’s Old West.

— Paul Joseph, president of the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce my, our competitors are the likes of Pakistan, India, China, Brazil.”

In recent years, most southwest Kansas communities — especially the three most populated ones in Finney, Ford and Seward counties — have competed aggressively for economic development and other opportunities. Many attendees at Thursday’s meeting agreed that needs to change in order to tackle issues that plague nearly all southwest Kansas communities, such as stagnant job growth and tourism, declining rural populations and limited transportation.

Increasing communication between the various commu-

nities and a brand to market southwest Kansas to the rest of the world are some of the ideas that came out of the meeting.

“From Scott City to Liberal, we’re very unique. But we can work as a region and still maintain that identity at a local level,” Joseph said.

Another obstacle for the region is the “brain drain” that finds young people leaving the area for high-paying and specialized jobs. Bringing those types of jobs to southwest Kansas is essential to “keeping our kids home,” said Garden City Mayor John Doll.

Joe Yager, of REAP of South Central Kansas, a regional economic area partnership consisting of nearly 40 cities and counties in and around Wichita, attended the meeting. Southwest Kansas leaders said they want to see a partnership modeled after REAP. Yager said southwest Kansas should brand its region by identifying its purpose and prioritizing regional opportunities.

“We want you to recognize the common themes,” Yager said. “You need a decent idea of why you’re here and who you are.”

The Southwest Kansas Chambers of Commerce has tentatively set up another Southwest Kansas Alliance meeting Aug. 18 in Garden City.

Souris River begins retreat from Minot The Souris River began a slow retreat from Minot on Sunday with no further flood damage in the city, but officials warned danger would remain for several days until the highest water passed.

“We’re still at full alert until the water starts going down,” said Shannon Bauer, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “It’s still a war.”

The city’s levees were reinforced with plastic sheeting to help them withstand the sustained exposure to high water. Forecasts called for the Souris to fall nearly 2 feet by Wednesday.

Journalists on flotilla face expulsion Israel said Sunday that any foreign journalist caught on board a Gaza-bound flotilla could face deportation and a 10-year ban from the country, in a move that threatened to worsen the nation’s already strained relationship with the international media.

Journalists said they should be allowed to cover a legitimate news story, but Israel said the media would be complicit in an illegal breach of its naval blockade of a hostile territory ruled by a terrorist group.

The announcement reflected Israeli jitters about the international flotilla, which comes just more than a year after a similar mission ended with the deaths of nine Turkish activists in clashes with Israeli naval commandos who intercepted them. Each side blamed the other for the violence.

Ex-city manager leads consolidation group

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Having already helped steer some community cornerstones through tumultuous times, Mike Wildgen is ready to help the Lawrence school district’s newest group of volunteer advisers figure out how to consolidate schools, close schools, upgrade schools or even build new schools.

Wildgen, who spent 31 years at Lawrence City Hall as city manager and assistant city manager, now is serving as chairman of the district’s new Central and East

Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group.

The group’s assignment: recommend how to reduce a list of six elementary Wildgen schools to either three or four within the next three to five years, a course set by the Lawrence school board to preserve and improve academic achievement while saving operational money amid mounting budget cuts.

Wildgen, who accepted Superintendent Rick Doll’s invitation to help out, envisions his role as something of a management coordinator: calling meetings to order, helping plan future meetings and otherwise handling administrative duties.

That way, the group’s 27 appointed members can pay attention to the needs of students and the futures of buildings being considered for consolidation: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill, with Woodlawn interests also being heard.

Pride parade celebrates gay marriage

By John Schulz

The floats were there, the music and dancing, too — all the usual staples of one of the world’s oldest and largest gay pride parades. But this year, something new joined the spectacle on the streets of New York City: proposals and wedding plans.

New York’s parade turned into a carnival-like celebration of same-sex marriage Sunday as hundreds of thousands of revelers rejoiced at the state’s new law giving gay couples the same marital rights as everyone else.

The star of Sunday’s show was undoubtedly New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who fought to get the bill over its final hurdle in the GOP-led state Senate. The law makes New York the sixth state to extend full marriage rights to gay couples and doubles the number of gay people nationwide who are eligible to marry.

Truck company in crash had citations

John Young/Journal-World Photos

A Nevada trucking company under scrutiny for a fiery crash with an Amtrak train that left at least six dead has been cited repeatedly by state authorities for crashes, unsafe driving and operating a truck with tires so bald the vehicle had to be taken off the road.

A man working for John Davis Trucking Co., of Battle Mountain, Nev., drove a truck through crossing gates and into two of the train’s double-decker cars Friday, killing him and five people on the train.

Federal records reviewed by The Associated Press on Sunday showed the state Department of Public Safety cited the company for two crashes in the last two years, including one in February 2010 that injured a person in Washoe County.

In a January inspection, authorities found tires on one company tractor-trailer so bald they deemed the rig an imminent hazard to public safety.

She said voters can expect her to propose an economic agenda that includes cuts to corporate taxes and phase-outs of taxes on inheritances and investment earnings.

Her economic turnaround plan will also include a repeal of unspecified environmental regulations, she said.

In 1986, Donna Oleson started working for the city of Eudora.

Much has changed in the intervening 25 years, but Oleson has remained with the city of Eudora. Until this month.

As Oleson departed her longtime job, she reflected on serving the community.

Oleson “I’ve spent almost half my life here in City Hall. It’s going to be a change,” Oleson said. “I’m ready for it, and I’m looking forward to another chapter in my life.”

Oleson started work in the city as a utility clerk in 1986 and became city clerk in 1998.

“My most vivid memory was when we built the sewer plant in the ’90s,” Oleson said. “I think that was the biggest change I saw.”

Oleson said the most rewarding part of her job had been taking care of city cemetery plots.

Helping people in their time of grief has been difficult, but she was pleased to be of help.

Oleson has contributed much to Eudora, not only as city clerk but also as secretary to the Chamber of Commerce and in various other organizations and events.

“I loved the kids getting to visit Santa Claus each Christmas time. It was always really special,” she said.

Pam Schmeck will replace Oleson as city clerk.

Oleson doesn’t know what the next chapter of her life will be.

“I want to do something. I can’t afford to not do anything, but until I figure out exactly what that is, I’m going to have a lot of fun being grandma,” she said.

Summer academy to feature student musicians from abroad, area

By Paul Koepp Special to the Journal-World

The Kansas University School of Music is raising the curtain on another summer of dazzling piano playing as it hosts the International Institute for Young Musicians.

IIYM’s Summer Music Academy will open July 9 with the semifinals of its prestigious international piano competition, the first of many performances that will be free and open to the public.

The program features 75 students ranging in age from 9 to 19. Many will come from abroad and especially from China, where interest in classical music is booming, said IIYM’s founder, KU professor of piano pedagogy Scott McBride Smith.

PUBLIC INVITED TO PERFORMANCES The International Institute for Young Musicians academy runs through July 29.

The public can attend the following performances: ● 10 a.m.-8 p.m. July 9: International Piano Competition semifinals, Spooner Hall/The Commons (free) ● 1-6 p.m. July 10: International Piano Competition finals, Spooner Hall/The Commons (free)

● 7:30 p.m. July 14: Honors Recital, Spooner Hall/The Commons (free) ● 2:30 p.m. July 16: Winners Concert for the International Piano Competition, Spooner Hall/The Commons ($10 tickets at the door) ● 7:30 p.m. July 20: Honors Recital, Spooner Hall/The Commons (free) ● 7:30 p.m July 27: Honors Recital, Hall Center for the Humanities (free)

“I hope everyone in Lawrence comes to hear them,” he said. KU has hosted the summer academy since 2004.

Participants include Chaeyoung Park and Luke Rhodes, of Lawrence; Grace Brungardt, of Wichita; and

Isabel Keleti, of Overland Park.

Smith said the local students “are standing up to the international competition and that’s great to see.”

It will be the fourth and final year at IIYM for Rhodes, who will attend KU this fall to study music.

“IIYM is a place where you go and you’re around people who are just like you, who have the same love for music you do and the same passion,” he said. “It’s very inspiring and refreshing to be around people like that.”

One of 15 semifinalists vying for $18,000 in prizes, Rhodes has been working on Lizst’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6,” “a very challenging piece,” he said, and “a lot of fun to play.” He puts in anywhere from 2 to 10 hours of practice each day.

“It isn’t so much the hours you do as the intensity of the practice,” he said.

The IIYM program received a big boost this year from Jack Gaumnitz, a retired KU finance professor, and his wife, Jan, a visual artist. After

enjoying IIYM performances for years, they donated $50,000 to augment prizes over the next five years, bringing the top award to $8,000.

“We were impressed by the quality of the student competition at a rather young age,” Jack Gaumnitz said. “Seeing (excellence), then you want to reward it. We’re setting them up for a very successful life, not necessarily in music but in any endeavor they do.”

Smith said the increased prizes attract more talent, which in turn burnishes IIYM’s credentials as one of the most prestigious piano programs.

“It made a big difference, making it doable for the top level of international students to come,” he said.

meadowlarks, lesser prairie chickens and quail call out.

Rugged red earth mixes with sagebrush, sand plum bushes and giant cottonwoods. The stars at night seem brighter and closer.

Along with the buffalo and native grasses have come prairie dog villages, burrowing owls, golden eagles, prairie chickens and antelope.

In groupings of 20 to 60, the buffaloes stay within five to six feet of each other. The groups stretch across the horizon.

“They have the whole range from the meanest one in the bunch to the most timid,” Yearout said. “They have a distinct pecking order. And, each of them know where they are on the line. Some will fight. “… They are aware who is next to them. They graze.

They walk. And if one of the neighbors’ cattle gets in with them, they will walk a beef cow to death because they travel so much more than a beef cow.”

Buffaloes are herd animals, social creatures by nature.

As they meander across the prairie, they create new paths and follow some of the old ones.

“They go the path of least resistance, the gentlest slope,” Yearout said. “If I ever get lost out here, all I have to do is get on a buffalo path and it will be the easiest way to get across the prairie.”

He doesn’t believe the reports by early Kansans of great herds stretching for miles.

“You will see a group of 200 and then maybe a quarter of a mile away, you will see another group of 200. But, like, a ‘Dances with Wolves’ scene? I don’t think that ever happened. We don’t experience that behavior.

“We have 3,000 buffalo, and when you get that many together, the dust would be too much. They kick up dust, and they don’t want to breathe it anymore than anybody else.”

Never underestimate the power of a buffalo: They can run up to 35 mph and turn faster than a horse.

Smart and ever watchful, the buffaloes can determine which pickup is Yearout’s across the horizon.

“They are very aware and can hear the rattle of my truck from 2 miles away,” he said.

They will come in a thundering stampede and surround his pickup if they suspect he is carrying cake feed.

Looking out over the buffaloes as they graze in the rugged Red Hills of Kansas, it’s easy to see why they are one of the most iconic animals of the Old West.

In 1804, President Jefferson ordered Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to set out on an expedition exploring the Louisiana Purchase, in part to prove the New World was larger, grander and superior to the Old World’s standards.

“The buffalo is the perfect example of that,” Washburn’s Averill said. “It is a creature that proved to be the sturdiest.

“By its numbers and size, it showed the power of the American continent.”

ture will have to comfortable — between 68 and 73 degrees, in fact — under a new state health department rule taking effect in July.

The room where the abortion occurs also will have to have at least 150 square feet, excluding “fixed” cabinets, and come with its own janitor’s closet with 50 or more square feet. The provider will be required to keep 13 types of drugs on hand, along with blood pressure cuffs for adults, children and even infants and premature babies.

Patients will have to remain in a recovery room for at least two hours afterward.

The new regulations for abortion providers in Kansas are more specific in places than they are for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, and more detailed than the rules for most clinics and offices in which doctors perform many surgical procedures.

The new regulations will be scrutinized closely in coming weeks, perhaps in court. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is imposing the rules under a new state law, also taking effect July 1, establishing a special licensing process for abortion providers.

‘Safe, reliable health care’ The rules set requirements for room sizes and the number of bathrooms and janitor’s closets for each abortion provider, and list required medications and equipment.

“Implementing the new regulations has been consistent with the work KDHE is already doing to ensure Kansans have safe, reliable health care in all facilities within KDHE’s purview,” said department Secretary Robert Moser, himself a physician.

The state’s three abortion

providers, all in the Kansas City area, view the regulations as unnecessary and burdensome by design. Gov. Sam Brownback is an anti-abortion Republican, and abortion opponents pushed the law through the GOP-controlled Legislature.

The providers need a special license from the health department to keep performing abortions as of July 1. A Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri clinic in Overland Park underwent a two-day state inspection last week, and an inspection of the Women’s Health Center, also in Overland Park, is set to start Wednesday.

The health department rejected a license for the Aid for Women clinic in Kansas City, Kan., without an inspection, based on information it included in its application.

Abortion rights supporters fear the other two providers won’t get licenses either, however their inspections turn out.

“The right to abortion services in Kansas is at stake,” said Cheryl Pilate, Aid for Women’s attorney.

Different standards The health department regulates more than 230 hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, which include the Planned Parenthood clinic.

The state’s other two abortion providers are among dozens of other offices and clinics falling under rules for office-based surgeries set by the State Board of Healing Arts, which regulates physicians.

Pilate said Aid for Women disclosed in its application that its clinic needs extensive renovations to comply with the health department regulations for abortion

Topeka man sails more than 4,000 miles across Atlantic “

By Ann Marie Bush

I thoroughly enjoyed the people I traveled TOPEKA — Steve Crouch’s with. I love sailing, so I strength and endurance were pushed to the limits during enjoyed the sailing.

Topeka Capital-Journal

his adventure sailing 4,260 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Topekan celebrated his 60th birthday at sea, on a trip that began May 5 in Antigua.

“It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said Crouch, who is medical director of the pediatric hospitalist program at StormontVail Regional Health Center.

“It has been a dream to cross the Atlantic Ocean under sail.”

Crouch spent 24 days crossing the Atlantic. The first leg of the trip began in Antigua in the Caribbean area on the Spirit of Diana, a 65-foot sailboat designed by Bruce Farr. A crew of four accompanied Crouch and seven other people on the first leg, which ended in the Azores islands.

Everyone was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Diana, including raising sails, changing sails, taking the helm and taking turns watching for issues.

Crouch kept a detailed log along the way. He wrote about preparing meals, scrubbing the deck, sleeping in “functional” quarters and steering by Polaris, the North Star.

He wrote about May 8, the “most remarkable day” in his adventure. He awoke to people shouting about a whale spotting.

“We had several surfacing around us,” Crouch said.

He jumped out of his bunk, grabbed his camera and joined the others. An hour later, the Diana rendezvoused with its companion boat, the

— Steve Crouch of Topeka Spirit of Isis, and the two crews went swimming.

Crouch was the only American on the trip.

“There were two women and a wide variety of people,” he said. “I think the most positive aspect was that everyone got along.”

Once the Diana reached the Azores, crew members spent seven days visiting and resting up for the second leg of the trip, which got under way on May 27.

During his 24 days at sea, Crouch said he was never frightened. There were times when he was cold, wearing four layers on his head and five layers on his torso. There were times when he wondered why he chose to celebrate his 60th birthday at sea.

And there were times he thought he pushed his limits.

“I’m very glad I did it,” he said. “There were some great times. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the stars at night. I thoroughly enjoyed the people I traveled with. I love sailing, so I enjoyed the sailing.”

The Diana crew members ended their adventure June 5 in Portsmouth, England.

Crouch, who began sailing as a sophomore at Topeka High School, doesn’t foresee himself sailing on a racing boat across the Atlantic again.

But he does enjoy sailing his boat, Papagayo, which is Spanish for parrot. He and his wife, Fran, spend some weekends sailing at Lake Shawnee.

“It’s very different sailing on a lake in Kansas,” Crouch said.

providers.

The health department’s regulations for hospitals and surgical centers don’t include specific room sizes. Instead, they’re tied to standards from the American Institute of Architects for medical facilities, which call for at least 360 square feet of unrestricted space for surgery rooms. But those standards apply to new construction.

Specific room-temperature requirements don’t appear in the standards for hospitals, surgical centers or office-based surgery sites.

For abortion providers, the regulations even differ for procedure rooms and recovery rooms, where the temperature must be between 70 degrees and 75 degrees.

Joseph Kroll, the director of the health department bureau that drafted the regulations, said it tried to set a “gold standard” for patients.

But abortion rights supporters contend the real goal is to keep existing providers form performing abortions and to make it impossible for doctors to open new abortion clinics.

“The state of Kansas has taken itself to shut down abortion providers,” said Julie Burkhart, founder of the political action committee Trust Women.

National Abortion Federation guidelines Mary Kay Culp, executive director of the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life, said the Kansas regulations draw on standards set by the National Abortion Federation, the professional association for providers.

“If they are the model medical clinics they always claimed they are, these regulations should not be a problem,” Culp said.

BRIEFLY 4 Kansas counties deemed emergencies TOPEKA — Four northeast Kansas counties have been declared federal emergencies because of flooding in the Missouri River system.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s office said in a statement Sunday that he has been notified that federal emergency declarations have been issued for Doniphan, Atchison, Leavenworth Brownback and Wyandotte Counties as a result of the recent flooding.

The declaration authorizes federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to identify and provide equipment and resources necessary to deal with the scattered flooding on the Kansas side of the Missouri River.

Brownback asked the federal government for supplies for long-term shelter operations in Doniphan and Leavenworth counties to start, and in Wyandotte and Atchison counties if needed.

45 sworn in as U.S. citizens in Dodge City DODGE CITY — A federal judge presided over the swearing in of 45 people as they became U.S. citizens in a ceremony in Dodge City.

Judge Eric Melgren of the U.S. District Court for Kansas on Friday presided over the swearing.

The naturalized citizens came from nine different countries.

Melgren said it was an honor because in 1945, his grandparents took oaths as new citizens of the United States.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Representative Jake Hoffman read each person’s name and country or origin, before the 45 took the oath of citizenship, which was read by the district court clerk.

The federation’s latest clinical policy guidelines touch on some of the same subjects as the new Kansas regulations, such as controlling infections and managing medical risks. They also recommend drugs and equipment to be used in particular circumstances.

But the federation’s guidelines focus more on individual procedures and don’t discuss clinic buildings. In standards for post-operative care, the federation says patients can’t be discharged until they are mobile, their pulse and blood pressure are stable and their pain and bleeding are under control. But the standards don’t set a minimum time in the recovery room.

The health department’s standards for surgical centers also don’t set a minimum recovery time. They say a patient who has received anesthesia “shall be discharged in the company of a responsible adult,” though the attending physician can waive the requirement.

There is no specific recovery-time guideline in the office-based surgery rules, either.

Providers and abortion rights advocates equate first-trimester abortions — the vast majority of those p e rfo r m e d i n K a n sa s — with other, minor officebased procedures. Dr. Herbert Hodes, who performs abortions at the Women’s Health Center, said the most common procedure there can be done in 2 minutes or less.

“It’s certainly less complicated than pulling all four wisdom teeth,” he said.

But a conflicting view of abortion led the backers of the new regulations to push for the law under which they were drafted. And Kansas will have significantly different rules for abortion providers than for physicians performing other off icebased surgeries, or for surgical centers and hospitals.

CARLA PHIPPS, RIGHT, MARKS makes and misses as Lawrence resident Patrick Smith shoots free throws during the Hoops for Men’s Health free throw competition on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Middle School. But he said Sunday’s event was a fun way to take some time and focus on “regearing” his health plan.

And it’s that occasional health “regearing” that men sometimes need more than women, said Kathy ClausingWillis, vice president of Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“We need you to be healthy,” said Clausing-Willis, adding that the women in a man’s life are often the peer pressure that gets them to make important health changes.

Numerous health screenings were offered free of charge, including blood pressure and glucose checks, body fat analysis, and even consultation in how to strengthen a golf swing. During a luncheon at the fieldhouse, Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger provided encouragement for men looking to improve their health.

Sunday’s event also used a

bit of trickery to increase attendance, as Clausing-Willis said organizers used the competitive nature of American men to their advantage. Many showed up Sunday for the free throw contest, where teams of four competed. The hoops at the fieldhouse were filling up all afternoon, and proceeds from the $25 entry fees benefit the LMH Endowment Association.

No simple answers for war a decade later

By Patrick Quinn Associated Press Writer

KABUL , A FGHANISTAN — For 10 years, ever since the towers fell, the United States has fought a war in a distant land — in hopes, it says, of protecting American interests and making the world safer from terrorism. Now, as President Barack Obama plans to end U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan by 2014, the question remains as muddy as ever: What happened here?

There have been victories — and setbacks. More than 1,522 American service members have died. There has been talk of a more stable, safer Afghanistan and frequent, obvious evidence to the contrary. The country’s president and the United States share an uneasy relationship, and it’s difficult to tell the story of the past decade in a single, concise statement.

Which is not surprising.

During more than 30 years of warfare, there has rarely been clarity in Afghanistan. You can’t always tell who’s on which side, and sometimes people are on both. Conventional battles are common, as is shadowy guerrilla warfare.

Yesterday’s enemy is today’s ally. Tomorrow he’s an enemy once again.

Afghans are dying by the thousands in a conflict which began to free them from alQaida, whose leaders are mostly hiding in Pakistan — a nominal American ally.

U.S. troop withdrawal America’s chapter in Afghanistan’s struggle is drawing to a close. President Barack Obama has said he will withdraw a third of nearly 100,000 U.S. troops by next summer and end combat operations in 2014 — with or without even a semblance of a lasting success.

Much work remains unfinished even after almost a decade of war and billions of dollars in aid. Although battered, the insurgents still control large swaths of the country, and it is nearly impossible to travel safely from the capital to the southern city of Kandahar.

Efforts to establish effective government, especially at local levels, have achieved limited success at best.

Afghanistan’s own security forces remain far from capable of defending the country on their own. And only about 2,000 of the estimated 25,000-40,000 insurgents have joined a highly touted program to reintegrate into society.

In announcing the timetable, Obama spoke of building a “partnership with the Afghan people that endures” long after the last American service member has gone home. His words were aimed at reassuring the Afghans that America would not abandon them.

Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Military intelligence officers were scrambling a year ago to collect and analyze the social, economic and tribal ins and outs of each valley and hamlet in Afghanistan.

This information wasn’t the kind of secret or covert material many military intelligence specialists were used to. But it was seen as crucial to helping commanders tell the good guys from the bad, learn what Afghans really needed from their government and undermine the Taliban-led insurgency by winning hearts and minds over time.

Since last fall, top intelligence leaders in Afghanistan shifted their focus back to targeting the enemy in the more traditional way, by mapping their networks and analyzing what made the Taliban tick.

They didn’t stop collecting the other information. But their goal now was helping tell commanders what they needed to know to kill insurgents and drive the enemy to the negotiating table.

MEDICS ATTACHED TO THE U.S. MARINES FROM THE 2ND MEB, 1ST BATTALION 5TH MARINES CARRY A MARINE, who was overcome by heat exhaustion, to a medical evacuation helicopter in the Nawa district of Afghanistan's Helmand province in this July 6, 2009, photo. For 10 years, ever since the towers fell, the United States has fought a war in a distant land – in hopes, it says, of protecting American interests and making the world safer from terrorism. Now, as President Barack Obama plans to end U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan by 2014, the question remains as muddy as ever: What happened here?

That pledge was reminiscent of the Soviet assurances to their Afghan clients when they, like the British a century before, concluded that fighting in Afghanistan wasn’t worth the cost in blood and treasure and withdrew in 1989.

Moscow left behind a friendly government and a well-equipped Afghan army.

Three years later, that government collapsed, the army fell apart, and the country was again engulfed in war.

Targeting al-Qaida, Taliban America entered Afghanistan in October 2001 to strike at al-Qaida after the 9/11 attacks in the United States. Another goal was to oust the ruling Taliban that arose from the chaos in the wake of the Soviet defeat and also Osama bin Laden and his network.

The Taliban were dispatched with relative ease by U.S. air power and ground forces provided by militias that had resisted the hardline Islamist movement. The U.S. and its partners established a government in Kabul, setting the stage for democratic elections.

But the Bush administration shifted its attention and resources to Iraq and a new war to bring down Saddam Hussein.

Faced with a monumental challenge and limited resources, Afghan President Hamid Karzai turned for support to the militias and warlords that Washington had used to oust the Taliban.

With that, the new government sank into a quagmire of corruption and favoritism — opening the door to the revival of the Taliban. By 2006, the country was facing a full-blown insurgency.

Old alliances shifted back

and forth. The man who invited bin Laden to Afghanistan is now a member of parliament and a Karzai crony. The warlord who helped rescue Karzai from fighting in Kabul in the 1990s now leads one of the main insurgent groups fighting his government.

Sending more U.S. forces Obama entered off ice promising to focus attention on the Afghan conflict, which he described as a “war of necessity” as opposed to Iraq, a “war of choice.” He doubled the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and in December 2009 dispatched 30,000 more troops in a “surge” to try to stop the Taliban momentum.

In doing so, Obama in effect changed the character of the war. His commanders employed the counterinsurgency strategy that brought some success in Iraq, coupling military force with an ambitious, troop-intensive plan to push insurgents from their strongholds so the local government could build a system of services and institutions to win the loyalty of the people.

The military always knew there would never be a winner in the war. Instead, it hoped to create the necessary groundwork for a process of reconciliation and reintegration to encourage insurgents to re-enter Afghan society.

But the investment proved too much for an American public weary of war and struggling with an economy marked by job loss and rising deficits.

Costs of war Even with troop reductions, the United States is facing huge expenses if it sticks

by Obama’s plan. Building and funding a 300,000-mem-

ber Afghan army and police will cost an estimated $6 billion to $8 billion a year even after 2014. The U.S. already paid $22 billion in 2010 and 2011 to train and equip the Afghans.

The dilemma is that without such an investment, Afghanistan could again slip into civil war as it did when the Soviets left 22 years ago.

Preventing that will require not only a strong security force but a power-sharing agreement among the numerous ethnic groups, including the Pashtuns from whom the Taliban draw their strength.

With such a complex ethnic and political landscape, few believe Afghanistan will enjoy peace anytime soon.

Optimists hope the level of violence can be reduced and the fighting limited to small areas around the country.

“I think an optimistic, hopeful outcome is nonetheless one in which some pockets of insurgency persist after 2014, but are contained and hopefully degraded over time primarily by the Afghans themselves,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a foreign policy fellow at the Brookings Institution. “For us the key is that no large sanctuaries develop.

I am optimistic on these points.”

Pessimists, including many Afghans, fear that once the foreign troops leave, the country will descend into a new civil war.

Gov. Mohammed Anwar Jigdalik of Kunduz province said his fellow northerners are already rearming in the belief that the Taliban are “coming with weapons to take them over.”

“All of Afghanistan would welcome reconciliation but people are afraid,” he said.

“Now people are rearming.”

Intelligence shift shows change in war goals

By Kimberly Dozier

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

said Wednesday that the United States will start bringing home U.S. troops next month. His announcement is part of a gradual scaling back of American operations and ambitions in Afghanistan Obama that’s expected to emphasize raids over governance, making tracking Afghan culture and bolstering the government less important, three current officials in Afghanistan said.

The White House has been frustrated by Afghanistan’s corruption and the inability of President Hamid Karzai’s government to provide competent officials to serve farflung provinces. That has helped shrink U.S. goals, and the new bottom line is a government strong enough to prevent terrorists’ safe havens from returning.

Targeting insurgent leaders and their support networks is seen as an important part of the U.S. exit strategy.

The thinking is that Taliban leaders will be more ready for

a deal if they feel threatened personally.

The U.S. has confirmed preliminary outreach to the Taliban, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last week that fruitful talks probably are a long way off.

These developments come as the man in charge of military intelligence in Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Steve Fogarty, has shifted his focus to how the U.S. gathers social, economic and tribal data, and how troops are getting access to it.

But he may now face a closing window of opportunity to bolster those programs, with the looming drawdown of manpower and resources as ordered by an administration fed up with the war’s $10 billion-a-month cost.

A secret U.S. National Intelligence Estimate on Afghanistan issued in February said raids and small-scale special-operations-led stability operations were showing progress, but projects meant to bolster Afghan governance were not yet taking hold, according to the officials.

They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

That assessment was one

factor in Obama’s decision to withdraw all but a small contingent of the current approximately 100,000 forces by 2015, said a senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive strategic discussions.

PANEL UPGRADES

NEW YORK — A member of a publicity-seeking hacker group that sabotaged websites over the past two months and is dissolving itself says his group isn’t disbanding under pressure from the FBI or enemy hackers.

“We’re not quitting because we’re afraid of law enforcement,” the LulzSec member said in a conversation with The Associated Press over the Internet voice program Skype. “The press are getting bored of us, and we’re getting bored of us.”

The group’s hacking has included attacks on law enforcement and releases of private data. It said unexpectedly on Saturday it was dissolving itself.

In the Sunday interview, the hacker acknowledged some of the material being circulated by rivals online — which purports to reveal the hackers’ online nicknames, past histories, and chat logs — was genuine, something he said had proved to be “a distraction.”

He added that three or four of Lulz Security’s members were taking what he called “a breather” and said he was considering giving up cyberattacks altogether.

“Maybe I’ll stop this hacking thing entirely. I haven’t decided,” he said. He said he couldn’t speak for the others’ long-term plans, but said it was possible some of the members would continue to be involved with Anonymous, the much larger and more amorphous hacking group that has targeted the Church of Scientology, Middle Eastern dictatorships, and the music industry, among others.

We’re not quitting because we’re afraid of law enforcement. The press are getting bored of us, and we’re getting bored of us.”

— Anonymous member of LulzSec

He said the six-member group was still sitting on a considerable amount of stolen law enforcement files.

“It’s safe to say at this point that they are sitting on a lot of data.”

Although the hacker declined to identify himself publicly, he has verified his membership with Lulz Security by posting a pre-arranged message to the group’s popular Twitter feed.

Lulz Security made its Saturday announcement about disbanding through its Twitter account. That statement gave no reason for the disbandment.

One of the group’s members was interviewed by The Associated Press on Friday, and gave no indication that its work was ending. LulzSec claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations, the CIA, the U.S. Senate and a pornography website.

Kevin Mitnick, a security consultant and former hacker, said the group had probably concluded that the more they kept up their activities, the greater the chance that one of them would make some mistake that would enable authorities to catch them. They’ve inspired copycat groups around the globe, he noted, which means similar attacks are likely to continue even without LulzSec.

Nighttime or violent TV tied to kids’ sleep woes

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press Writer

C H I C A G O — If your preschooler can’t sleep — turn off the violence and nighttime TV. That’s the message in a new study that found sleep problems are more common in 3to 5-year-olds who watch television after 7 p.m. Watching shows with violence — including kids’ cartoons — also was tied to sleeping difficulties.

Watching nonviolent shows during the day didn’t seem to have any connection with sleep problems in the 617 youngsters studied.

The study builds on previous research linking media use with kids’ sleep problems, and also bolsters arguments for limiting children’s screen time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for children up to age 2, and no more than 2 hours daily for older children.

It also urges pediatricians to ask parents at every checkup how much their children watch television, including whether kids have TVs in their bedrooms, which the academy discourages.

Previous studies have found that at least one in four U.S. preschoolers have TVs in their bedrooms, and many families mistakenly believe that watching TV will help their kids sleep, said Dr. Michelle Garrison, lead author and a scientist at Seattle Children’s Hospital Research Institute.

The government-funded study was released online today by the journal Pediatrics.

Overall, about 112 kids studied — nearly one in five — had one or more frequent sleep problems most days of the week. These included difficulty falling asleep, awakening repeatedly at night, nightmares or daytime sleepiness.

Kids who watched the most nighttime or violent TV had the most sleep trouble.

TV was the main source of screen time rather than computers or video games.

The study relied on parents’ reports of kids’ sleep difficulties and TV habits, and wasn’t rigorous enough to tell whether TV caused sleep problems. It could be that poor sleepers might be more likely to watch TV; or family factors such as lax parenting could have been involved.

As part of ‘gender madness,’ preschool avoids using ‘him’ or ‘her’

By Jenny Soffel Associated Press Writer

S T O C K H O L M — At the “Egalia” preschool, staff avoid using words like “him” or “her” and address the 33 kids as “friends” rather than girls and boys.

From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don’t fall into gender stereotypes.

“Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing,” says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old teacher.

“Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be.”

The taxpayer-funded preschool, which opened last year in the liberal Sodermalm district of Stockholm for kids aged 1 to 6, is among the most radical examples of Sweden’s efforts to engineer equality between the sexes from childhood onward.

Breaking down gender roles is a core mission in the national curriculum for preschools, underpinned by the theory that even in highly egalitarianminded Sweden, society gives boys an unfair edge.

To even things out, many preschools have hired “gender pedagogues” to help staff identify language and behavior that risk reinforcing stereotypes.

Some parents worry things have gone too far. An obsession with obliterating gender roles, they say, could make the children confused and illprepared to face the world outside kindergarten.

“Different gender roles aren’t problematic as long as they are equally valued,” says Tanja Bergkvist, a 37-year-old blogger and a leading voice against what she calls “gender madness” in Sweden.

Those bent on shattering gender roles “say there’s a

CHILDREN PLAY IN THE GARDEN OF “EGALIA,” a Swedish preschool aiming to fight gender stereotypes, in Stockholm in this June 20, 2011, photo. At the preschool, the staff avoid using words like “him” or “her” and address the children as “friends” rather than girls and boys. Every detail has been carefully planned, from the color and placement of toys to the selection of literature to make sure the 30 or so children don't fall into gender stereotypes. hierarchy where everything that boys do is given higher value, but I wonder who decides that it has higher value,” she says. “Why is there higher value in playing with cars?”

At Egalia — the title connotes “equality” — boys and girls play together with a toy kitchen, waving plastic utensils and pretending to cook.

One boy hides inside the toy stove, his head popping out through a hole.

Lego bricks and other building blocks are intentionally placed next to the kitchen, to make sure the children draw no mental barriers between cooking and construction.

Director Lotta Rajalin notes that Egalia places a special emphasis on fostering an environment tolerant of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. From a bookcase she pulls out a story about two male giraffes who are sad to be childless — until they come across an abandoned crocodile egg.

Nearly all the children’s books deal with homosexual couples, single parents or adopted children. There are no “Snow White,” “Cinderella” or other classic fairy tales seen as cementing stereotypes.

Rajalin, 52, says the staff members also try to help the children discover new ideas when they play.

“A concrete example could be when they’re playing ’house’ and the role of the mom already is taken and they start to squabble,” she says. “Then we suggest two moms or three moms and so on.”

Egalia’s methods are controversial; some say they amount to mind control.

Rajalin says the staff have received threats from racists apparently upset about the preschool’s use of black dolls.

But she says that there’s a long waiting list for admission to Egalia and that only one couple has pulled a child out of the school.

Whales, plankton migrate across Northwest Passage

By Arthur Max Associated Press Writer

AMSTERDAM — When a 43foot gray whale was spotted off the Israeli town of Herzliya last year, scientists came to a startling conclusion: It must have wandered across the normally icebound route above Canada, where warm weather had briefly opened a clear channel three years earlier.

On a microscopic level, scientists also have found plankton in the North Atlantic where it had not existed for at least 800,000 years.

The whale’s odyssey and the surprising appearance of the plankton indicates a migration of species through the Northwest Passage, a worrying sign of how global warming is affecting animals and plants in the oceans as well as on land.

“The implications are enormous. It’s a threshold that has been crossed,” said Philip C. Reid, of the Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science in Plymouth, England.

“It’s an indication of the speed of change that is taking place in our world in the present day because of climate change,” he said in a telephone interview Friday.

Reid said the last time the world witnessed such a major incursion from the Pacific was 2 million years ago, which had “a huge impact on the North Atlantic,” driving some species to extinction as the newcomers dominated the competition for food.

Reid’s study of plankton and the research on the whale, co-authored by Aviad Scheinin of the Israel Marine Mammal Research and Assistance Center, are among nearly 300 scientific papers written over the last 13 years that are being synthesized and published this year by Project Clamer, a collaboration of 17 institutes on climate change and the oceans.

“

It’s an indication of the speed of change that is taking place in our world in the present day because of climate change.”

— Philip C. Reid, of the Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science, on the migration of whales and plankton to the North Atlantic chemistry and temperature could have implications for fisheries, as species migrate northward to cooler waters, said Katja Philippart, of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research who is coordinating the project funded by the European Union.

“We try to put the information on the table for people who have to make decisions.

We don’t say whether it’s bad or good. We say there is a high potential for change,” she said.

The Northwest Passage, the route through the frigid archipelago from Alaska across northern Canada, has been ice-free from one end to the other only twice in recorded history, in 1998 and 2007. But the ice pack is retreating farther and more frequently during the summers.

Plankton that had previously been found only in Atlantic sea bed cores from 800,000 years ago appeared in the Labrador Sea in 1999 — and then in massive numbers in

WHEN A 43FOOT GRAY WHALE, such as the one pictured, was spotted off Israel last year, scientists said it had wandered above Canada, where warm weather had opened a channel.

the Gulf of St. Lawrence two years later. Now it has established itself as far south as the New York coast, Reid said.

The highly endangered gray whale sighted off the Israeli coast in May 2010 belonged to a species that was hunted to near extinction in the Atlantic by the mid1700s. The same animal — identified by unique markings on its fluke, or tail fin — appeared off the Spanish coast 22 days later, and has not been reported seen since.

Though it was difficult to draw conclusions from one whale, the researchers said its presence in the Mediterranean “coincides with a shrinking of Arctic Sea ice due to climate change and suggests that climate change may allow gray whales to recolonize the North Atlantic.”

That may be good for the whales, but other aspects of the ice melt could be harmful to the oceans’ biosystems, the scientists warn.

Plankton is normally the bottom of the marine food chain, but some are more nutritious than others. Plankton changes have been blamed for the collapse of some fish stocks and threats to fish-eating birds in the North Sea, the studies show.

The migration of a solitary whale and two species of plankton is not of much concern so far, Reid said. “It’s the potential for further ones to come through if the Arctic opens. That’s the key message.”

Task force redux Ah, another city commission, another task force to study downtown retail.

L

ast week, the Lawrence City Commission agree to form a new task force that will study ways to attract more retailers to downtown Lawrence. The decision came less than six months after the city received a final report from its Retail Task Force, which covered much of the same territory.

The new task force will have several charges.

It was told to look at the mix of retail vs. bar and restaurant businesses. The city’s planning department had already updated those numbers and presented them at Tuesday’s commission meeting. The percentage of downtown commercial space occupied by retailers continues to decline, while the percentage of space occupied by eating establishments was relatively stable. The overall commercial vacancy rate was down but continues to ebb and flow.

The new group also was assigned to look at how a city-sponsored retail incubator could reduce vacancies. The Retail Task Force already studied that issue and concluded that the city should encourage the private sector to take that job on but consider some public incentives for an incubator in downtown or elsewhere.

The other two charges of the new group were to look for more opportunities to work with Kansas University and the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau to plan downtown events and to provide greater support of the arts in downtown. Both of those are ongoing efforts that don’t seem to require much additional study.

So, what do commissioners think they will learn from another downtown task force? Two commissioners who took office in April — including one who owns a downtown business — organized a recent downtown listening session, and the idea for a new task force came out of a commission discussion of that session.

Did the listening session produce some startling revelation, or are commissioners simply hoping a new task force will take the same information given to previous groups and come up with a different conclusion? Do commissioners already have some action in mind that they hope will be supported by a new task force with new members?

It will be interesting to follow the progress of the yet-to-be-named task force. Depending on what commissioners have in mind, it could either be another exercise in futility or serve as the basis for significant downtown action.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for June 27, 1911: "Already the New York agents for the Bowersock Opera House are booking YEARS shows for the coming season and a parAGO tial list of these has been received by the IN 1911 Bowersock managers here. The list shows that the attractions to be given in the new theater are to be of the best obtainable. Madam Sherry, Servant in the House, and the Girl in the Taxi, these are among the strong shows on the road today and have past seasons of success to back them. Work on the new theater is being rushed as fast as possible and it will be completed by the opening of the fall season."

Texas governor may make GOP run SAN ANTONIA — In the 1850s, on the steps of the Waco courthouse, Wallace Jefferson’s greatgreat grandfather was sold.

Today, Jefferson is chief justice of Texas’ Supreme Court. The governor who nominated him also nominated the state’s first Latina justice. Rick Perry, 61 , the longest-serving governor in Texas history and, in his 11th year, currently the nation’s senior governor, says these nominations are two of his proudest accomplishments.

French cuffs and cowboy boots are, like sauerkraut ice cream, an eclectic combination, but Perry, who wears both, is a potentially potent candidate for the Republican presidential nomination because his political creed is uneclectic, matching that of the Republican nominating electorate. He was a “10th Amendment conservative” (“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people”) before the tea party appeared. And before Barack Obama’s statism — especially Obamacare’s individual mandate — catalyzed concern for the American project of limited government.

Social issues, especially abortion, are gateways to the Republican nominating electorate: In today’s climate of economic fear, a candidate’s positions on social issues will not be decisive with his electorate — but they can be disqualifying. Perry — an evan-

Supposed examples of “Perry’s extremism evaporate in sunlight.”

gelical Christian, like most Republican participants in Iowa’s caucuses and the South Carolina primary — emphatically qualifies.

Pausing in his enjoyment of a hamburger the size of a hubcap, Perry, the Eagle Scout son of Democratic tenant farmers, says he entered politics as a Democrat: “I never met a Republican until I was in the Air Force.”

Perry’s father had been a B-17 tail gunner flying out of England in 1944. Perry, stationed abroad flying C-130 transports, became a captain and a believer in American exceptionalism.

He matriculated into the culture wars in the riotous year of 1968. As the University of Texas at Austin was becoming a bastion of liberalism, Perry headed to Texas A&M, which was transitioning from an all-male military school, but not from conservatism. He became a Republican in 1989 — “I made both parties

happy” — at a younger age than Ronald Reagan did, and has never lost an election.

Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner, might be easier to elect than to nominate. The reverse might be true of Perry. Is he a wine that will not travel? To win the White House, a Republican must be competitive among independents, including women, in places like Montgomery County outside Philadelphia. Perry — his accent, his Westerner’s body language, those boots — is proof that, in spite of the culture’s homogenizing forces, regional differences remain remarkably durable. But so, too, do regional antipathies, some of which have intensif ied as voters have become more polarized, partly because of a Texas governor who became president.

Obama will not win another term stressing his accomplishments, which consist of an unpopular health care law, a failed stimulus and an anemic recovery. So Obama’s campaign must be relentlessly negative, decrying the Republican nominee’s “extremism.” Democrats have worked that pedal on the political organ frequently — successfully against Barry Goldwater, futilely against Ronald Reagan.

Supposed examples of Perry’s extremism evaporate in sunlight.

One is that he intimated support for Texas’ secession from the Union. After people shouted “Secede!” at a rally, he said he understood their frustration but added: “We’ve got a great union.

There is absolutely no reason to dissolve it.” He signed a law requiring women seeking abortions to be shown sonograms of their babies. Do people objecting to this mandatory provision of information object to the new graphic warnings on cigarette packs?

The Republican contest probably will become a binary choice — Romney and the Not Romney candidate. If Perry becomes the latter, he will do so by his visceral appeal to social conservatives, and by trumping Romney’s economic expertise with “Texas exceptionalism”: Between 2001 and last June, Texas — a right-to-work state that taxes neither personal income nor capital gains — added more jobs than the other 49 states combined. And since the recovery began two Junes ago, Texas has created 37 percent of America’s net new jobs.

Perry would rather not run but his wife, who has a nursing background and is alarmed by Obamacare, says sometimes desires are secondary to duties.

Perry, who sensibly did not watch the Republicans’ recent New Hampshire debate because the Aggies were on ESPN playing Florida State in the NCAA baseball tournament, says, “I’m a long way from being a candidate.” But he did not finish the hamburger. Perhaps he is in training for something strenuous.

U.S. shifting response to global demands WASHINGTON — Gen. John Abizaid used the phrase “the long war” to describe America’s battle with Islamic extremism after Sept. 11, 2001. When I first heard him say it in the dark days of 2004, as Iraq was spiraling downward, I had the feeling that it would last for most of our lifetimes.

Behind this decades-long battle, Abizaid said, was the political modernization of the Islamic world — the explosive process of change that he likened to the revolutions and anarchic movements that swept across Europe in the 19th century.

This is the overarching conflict from which Barack Obama wants to withdraw American troops — not because the turbu-

— not just because America is weary and broke, but because the dialectic of history has brought the world to a new place.”

lence is over but because big American expeditionary forces aren’t the right answer. He suggested this larger shift Wednesday night.

After a “difficult decade,” he said, “the tide of war is receding. ... These long wars will come to a responsible end.”

You can fault some of the particulars of Obama’s policy. I’m scratching my head about the logic of his timetable for reversing the surge he announced 18 months ago: Pulling out 10,000 troops this year is OK, but why yank out another 23,000 in the middle of next year’s fighting season? That encourages a battered Taliban to hang on awhile longer, rather than bargain for a truce. It repeats the tipyour-hand mistake I thought Obama made back in December 2009, when he set a date for beginning the withdrawal of his surge forces even as he ordered them into battle.

But on the larger theme, I thought Obama had it right. This period of expeditionary wars does need to come to an end — not just because America is weary and broke, but because the dialectic of history has brought the world to a

new place. If American military might has been shown to have limited effect in shaping events over the past 10 years, so have the terrorist strategies of al-Qaida and the Taliban.

When Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States in the 1990s, he made two assumptions, both of which turned out to be wrong. He argued that if America were hit hard by a terrorist attack, it would run away, just as it had from Lebanon after the 1983 bombings and from Somalia in 1994. In his last moments, bin Laden surely knew this bet on American softness had been mistaken. “The message,” said Obama, quoting an unnamed American soldier, “is we don’t forget. You will be held accountable, no matter how long it takes.”

Bin Laden’s second conviction was that alQaida could supplant the corrupt, autocratic rulers who had perverted governance in the Arab world. They are indeed in retreat — alhamdulillah, as Arabs would say — but not because of al-Qaida. What’s powering the “Arab Spring” are citizen movements for democratic change. Wherever al-Qaida has tried to impose theocratic “emirates,” as in Iraq’s Anbar province, it has burned itself out. As for the Taliban, its chief weapon in Afghanistan is raw physical intimidation.

This isn’t a movement on the rise.

What was striking about Obama’s speech was the lack of fanfare and triumphalism that so often accompany U.S. rhetoric about for-

eign policy. Rather than offering upbeat word pictures about plucky Afghan schoolgirls, he admitted the reality that “we won’t try to make Afghanistan a perfect place.” While talking about America’s “singular role,” he wasn’t imagining us as a shining city on the hill but as a nation bruised by recent experience — one that is “as pragmatic as we are passionate.”

My translation: No more Teddy Roosevelt charges into the fray, at least not for a while.

What worries me, thinking about the future that Obama outlined in Afghanistan, is U.S. reliance on the harshest weapons in our arsenal — the killing machine that is America’s counterterrorism force. With Predator drones and the “capture or kill” night raids of the Joint Special Operations Command, America has found a way to punish its enemies without risking large U.S. casualties.

Obama concluded that this CT side of counterinsurgency works far more reliably than the uncertain, nation-building side of COIN. The embrace of counterterrorism tactics makes sense as an exit strategy from Afghanistan, and as a continuing check against al-Qaida. But America should understand that this is a dark face of war — something perilously close to combat by assassination. It needs more debate before it’s elevated to a cornerstone of American strategy.

Missouri’s latest woe: insects

By Maria Sudekum Fisher Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Southeast Missouri, which was hit by tough spring flooding this year, now faces a trio of onerous insects picking on crops, timber and foliage.

The Japanese beetle, the emerald ash borer and the gypsy moth, already present in other sections of the state, have moved into southeast Missouri, a major agriculture hub for the state, said Michael Aide, chairman of the agriculture department at Southeast Missouri State University.

“We’ve been waiting for their arrival for the last 10 years. We keep watching their advance,” Aide said. “Now they’re in our region.”

It’s unclear how much damage the insects have done so far, but they have shown up in ash trees, vineyards and food crops, including corn and soybeans. The infestation is expected to become worse over the years, he said.

Flooding along the Mississippi River that began in early April left thousands of acres of southeast Missouri cropland under water.

“The flood is by far the worst issue,” Aide said. “But right

now we’re looking ahead to the future. The real damage (from the insects) is yet to happen. ...

But we’re seeing the first wave of the infestations, and we’re trying to get ahead of this before it gets any bigger.”

The Japanese beetle, which has been in Missouri for several years, has shown up in southeast Missouri in increasing numbers the last few years, said Kelly Tindall, research entomologist with the University of Missouri division of plant science.

“They keep going up and up. I don’t know if we’re going to plateau and stay high or keep going up,” Tindall said.

The Japanese beetle, which feeds on plants until they’re defoliated, is especially problematic because it has such a large host range. But Tindall said it likely would not reach a point where Missouri would not be able to grow soybeans.

“I can tell you when a farmer goes out to his fields and he sees 26 Japanese beetles on a single ear of corn that really freaks him out,” she said.

“They’re going to go ahead and spray. It’s not a complete loss impact, but it has an impact.”

The beetle can be fought with pesticides and natural predators, including a partic-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

ular wasp. But Tindall said the wasp has not grown in numbers like the beetle, and insecticides can have adverse effects like killing other beneficial insects.

The emerald ash borer however, is a major threat to Missouri’s ash trees, Tindall said. The borer has decimated millions of ash trees in Michigan and has also hit several other Midwest states and Pennsylvania. In Missouri, officials have quarantined infested trees, but the insect has spread. The gypsy moth also eats plant foliage, until it eventually kills the plant.

They attack also corn, beans, grapes, fruit trees and most of southeast Missouri’s major crop plants and forests, as well as forest landscape plants.

The emerald ash borer and the gypsy moth could cause millions of lost tourism dollars if they get established in the state, particularly in the heavily-wooded Ozarks.

“How would you like to float the Current River without trees?” Aide said.

The agriculture department at Southeast Missouri State has been working with genetics to develop crop and plants that would be more resistant to the pests.

KU FOOTBALL POSITION BY POSITION: QUARTERBACK

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Underhanded underrated The man on the other end of the phone called back too late to help me prepare for Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Hoops for Men’s Health freethrow shooting contest Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse, but in time to assure me I’m not the only one perpetually puzzled by a basketball mystery.

Why, if a basketball player is a poor free-throw shooter, doesn’t he or she try the method preferred by a man who did it better than anyone before him?

Why doesn’t the struggling shooter learn to shoot free throws under-handed, the way Hall of Famer Rick Barry shot them?

“Ego,” Barry said by phone from his home in Colorado Springs. “It’s unfortunate. It’s a great way to shoot them. I don’t understand. How do they not do everything they can to get better? How do you live with yourself when you shoot so poorly?

It’s called a free throw. It’s the only constant in the game. Same target. Same size ball. You get to miss one out of every five and still shoot 80 percent.”

Athletes so aggressively seek an edge they risk getting banned by taking performanceenhancing drugs, but lousy shooters shun a perfectly legal means of improvement.

Athletes are nothing if not copy-cats of successful methods, except when it comes to free throws.

Barry, the only man to lead the NCAA, ABA and NBA in scoring, retired with a (sincebroken) record .900 accuracy rate from the line. As a rookie, Barry’s teammate with the Golden State Warriors, center George Johnson, shot .412 from the stripe. Barry taught him his technique, and four seasons later, Johnson shot .806.

Why that didn’t start a trend boggles the mind.

A few decades later, Andris Biedrins is the Warriors’ center.

He made 16 percent of his free throws last season, prompting coach Don Nelson to suggest he try Barry’s methods. He didn’t, of course. He’s twice the shooter (.323) this season, which is another way of saying he’s horrendous.

In sports, substance trumps style every time, except with free throws.

Wilt Chamberlain improved when he copied Barry, but went back to the conventional method, explaining in his 1973 autobiography, “I felt silly, like a sissy.”

Barry talked to Shaquille O’Neal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and had him convinced he could turn him into a good free-throw shooter, but Barry couldn’t talk Del Harris into hiring him as Shaq’s tutor.

“Imagine if Shaq shot 80 percent (as did George Johnson),” Barry said. “He would have been a go-to guy, instead of going to the bench at the end of games. He would have won a lot more championships.”

Under-handed free-throw shooters aren’t extinct. A promising, skinny, late-bloomer of a basketball player who had three halfbrothers who played in the NBA (Jon, Brent and Drew) and another who played at Kansas University (Scooter) uses the method.

Canyon Barry, entering his senior year in high school, uses the method Rick Barry learned from his father.

“I didn’t want to, but he was so dang relentless I ended up doing it my junior or senior year of high school, and it changed everything,” Barry said. “It changed everything.”

The one to beat

KANSAS QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB LOOKS OVER HIS RECEIVERS as he runs through plays with the offense during a spring practice on April 11 at the KU practice fields.

Webb best of the bunch — at least so far

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Quarterback.

It’s the one position on a football team that can make or break a season.

It’s also the one position on the Kansas University roster that has more questions than answers.

Three guys who took snaps for the Jayhawks in 2010 return in 2011, but only two of them return as quarterbacks. Jordan Webb — 1,195 yards, seven TDs and eight interceptions last season — and senior Quinn Mecham will enter fall camp as the leaders in the race to become KU’s starting quarterback this fall.

CLASS OF 2011 ■ G Ben

McLemore, 6foot-5, 185 ■ G Naadir Tharpe, 6-0, 170 ■ F Braeden Anderson, 68, 215 ■ F Merv Lindsay, 6-7, 200 ■ Jamari Traylor, 6-7, 220 ■ F Kevin Young, 6-8, 215

Kale Pick, the junior from Dodge City who won the job heading into 2010 but attempted just 36 passes at QB, returns this fall as a wide receiver.

Word from the KU camp is that Webb emerged from spring ball with a lead over Mecham. After delivering up-and-down performances throughout 2010, Webb appears to have matured and improved quite a bit in the offseason.

KU coach Turner Gill said Webb displayed more confidence and poise throughout the spring.

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the third-year sophomore from Union, Mo., learned from his first year as a starter.

Though Webb and Mecham took most of the first-team reps during spring drills — red-shirt freshman Blake Jablonski also got a few snaps — they’ll welcome a couple of newcomers into the battle when preseason camp opens in August.

Freshmen Brock Berglund, of Highlands Ranch, Colo., and Michael Cummings, of Killeen, Texas, will hit campus looking to compete for the starting job right away.

Gill and Long have said both will get the chance to prove they deserve the job, but the guess here, in Part Two of the Journal-World and KUSports.com’s position-byposition summer breakdown

series, is that neither will be able to unseat the incumbents.

Here are our lists, from football beat writer Matt Tait, sports editor Tom Keegan and KUSports.com online editor Jesse Newell.

Matt Tait’s list 1. Jordan Webb: The best of the bunch — for now. Deserves a ton of credit for improving dramatically in the offseason.

2. Michael Cummings: This is the quarterback of the future the KU coaches had in mind when they got here. Knee injury changed things a bit.

3. Brock Berglund: Excellent Please see QUARTERBACK, page 10B

Vandy transfer plans to visit Kansas

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s six-man basketball recruiting Class of 2011 conceivably could swell to seven before the end of the summer.

Vanderbilt transfer Andre Walker, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound power forward from Flossmoor, Ill., is expected to visit KU in coming days, Rivals.com reported Sunday.

“We’ll be there later this week,” Andre’s dad, Andre Sr., said via text message to Rivals.com.

Andre Walker, who averaged

3.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists while logging 17.7 minutes a game for Vandy his junior season, has visited Xavier and Northwestern in recent weeks.

He’s also expected to visit Wichita State and Marquette.

Walker red-shirted the 200809 season after tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament and has had injury problems since.

He has one year of eligibility remaining. He does not have to sit out a year after transferring because he already has earned his college degree.

The Jayhawks have one schol-

arship available in recruiting.

Former walk-on Conner Teahan, a senior-to-be out of Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst High, was placed on scholarship last year. ●

Robinson grows: KU junior forward Thomas Robinson measured 6-foot-10 in shoes and weighed 240 pounds (without shoes) at last weekend’s Amar’e Stoudemire Skills Academy in Chicago. Robinson’s wingspan was measured at 7-foot-1.

Robinson, who was listed as 69, 237 last season, served as a camp counselor with fellow college big

men Alex Brown, WisconsinGreen Bay; Anthony Davis, Kentucky; Trevor Mbakwe, Minnesota; James McAdoo, North Carolina; Aaric Murray, West Virginia; Alex Oriakhi, UConn; Mason Plumlee, Duke; Miles Plumlee, Duke; Jared Sullinger, Ohio State; and Yarou Mouphatou, Villanova.

Twenty-four high school big men attended, including three seniors who have KU on their list of schools: Mitch McGary, 6-11, Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, N.H.; Willie Cauley, 6-11, Olathe Northwest and Landen Lucas, 69, Findlay Prep in Las Vegas.

ROYALS 6, CUBS 3

Hochevar, Gordon spark K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — It was a bad time for the Cubs to face Kansas City right-hander Luke Hochevar. It was an afternoon start, and Hochevar excels in day games.

Hochevar won again under the sun, and Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 13 games with an RBI double in a four-run first inning as the Royals beat Chicago, 6-3, on Sunday.

Hochevar is 9-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 14 day starts the past two seasons, compared to 2-11 with a 5.28 ERA in 21 appearances at night. He picked up just his sec-

ond victory in his last 10 starts, with both coming in afterROYALS VS. noon games.

“I don’t pay PADRES attention to that stuff,” When: 9:05 Hochevar said. tonight “Whether it’s Where: San Diego day or night, Pitchers: Francis I’ve got to go (3-8) vs. Latos (4out and do 8) exactly the same thing. I TV: FSKC (cable don’t get into channels 36, 236) that.

I’ve pitched good in day. I’ve

pitched good at night. It doesn’t matter.”

Hochevar (5-8) departed after 2 5 ⁄ 3 innings. He gave up three runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out five. Louis Coleman struck out D.J. LeMahieu to end the sixth with the bases loaded.

The six runs were the most the Royals have scored since June 14 Ed Zurga/AP Photo when they won 7-4 at Oakland.

Kurt Busch grabs road-course win SONOMA, CALIF. (AP) — It certainly seemed as if Kurt Busch’s season was in serious trouble just two months ago, when poor performances led to an intense radio tirade against his entire Penske Racing organization.

What could have destroyed his race team actually has had the opposite effect.

Busch’s impressive turnaround

continued Sunday with a dominating run at Inf ineon Raceway, where he earned his first career road-course victory and his first win of the season.

“We’ve been on a great run these last few weeks,” Busch said. “To get a road-course win, it’s a big check mark on my list. It’s just really neat to bring home that ‘W.”’

COMMENTARY

Busch led a race-high 76 laps and beat Jeff Gordon by almost four seconds for his first victory of the season. It’s a marked turn for Busch, who unraveled over his team radio at Richmond in early May because of how poorly his Dodge had been running.

The rant led to behind-thescenes changes at Penske Racing

that have sparked both Busch and teammate Brad Keselowski, who won at Kansas earlier this month.

Busch, despite three consecutive poles, was winless but inching closer and closer.

It finally came on a road course, of all places. Busch was winless in 10 career starts at both Sonoma and Watkins Glen.

Twins’ Mauer should help at first base

By Jim Souhan Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MILWAUKEE — A hirsute man in Miller Park turned his shirtless back to the TV cameras.

Someone had shaved the word “Mauer” and the number “7” into his back hair.

Maybe it was Joe. He seems to have time on his hands.

That Mauer didn’t start at catcher Sunday wasn’t a crime. His manager, Ron Gardenhire, is determined to protect Mauer’s legs and back by keeping him from catching in day games following night games.

Mauer didn’t beg out of the game; Gardenhire never gave him the chance.

Mauer’s crime is that he didn’t volunteer to play first base for a team desperate for hitting, leaving Gardenhire to play Luke Hughes out of position at first.

Two weeks ago, everyone in the Twins organization knew that Mauer’s buddy Justin Morneau was headed to the disabled list. This week, the Twins announced that Morneau would undergo neck surgery that will sideline him until at least August. Meanwhile, the Twins have been fielding a lineup that Bud Selig will use as Exhibit A in his case that baseball players no longer use steroids.

With Delmon Young, Denard Span and Jason Kubel on the disabled list, Michael Cuddyer is needed in the outfield, meaning the Twins are desperate for Mauer to play first base on the days he doesn’t catch.

Mauer has not only avoided volunteering to play first base for a team that wants him to do so, he has yet to even practice taking ground balls at first.

Sunday, his decimated team lost a fifth consecutive game. Mauer pinch-hit in the seventh inning and caught two innings, and the Twins lost 6-2.

With Mauer out of the lineup, Cuddyer had to bat third, followed by Danny Valencia (.216 average), Hughes (nine RBI), Jason Repko (.194), Tsuyoshi Nishioka (.200), Drew Butera (.175) and pitcher Carl Pavano (.000).

It’s time for Mauer either to start playing when and where his team needs him or to start writing refund checks.

The guy had a lousy week. He proved he needs dozens more at-bats to regain his timing. He’s hitting .200 in late June.

Today, Mauer’s status in his clubhouse must be even worse than it was when he was slowly mending in Florida.

He spent more than two months rehabilitating his mysterious injuries. He returned to the big leagues 10 days ago. He played in three consecutive games, then the Twins had Monday off.

Mauer caught on Tuesday and Wednesday, then took Thursday off. He caught on Friday and Saturday, and then took Sunday off. The manager can keep him from behind the plate. Only Mauer can keep himself out of the lineup.

He should have played Sunday. He did not need a second day of rest in a span of four games, a third day of rest in the past seven.

With his team desperate for runs and wins, Mauer has relaxed. That’s why some of his teammates have been rolling their eyes this season whenever his name is mentioned.

He has proved to be the softest of stars, and if that wasn’t bad enough, his $184 million contract could prevent the Twins from retaining a valuable veteran who plays whenever and wherever the Twins need him.

Mauer makes $23 million a year.

Michael Cuddyer is making $10.5 million in the final year of his contract.

While Mauer seems intent on turning his name into a punch line, Cuddyer offers everything you would want from a professional athlete.

While Mauer has balked at playing a position other than catcher, Cuddyer has moved from high school shortstop to minor league third baseman to outfielder to fill-in at first and second base.

Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila is playing third base, to keep his bat in the lineup.

Asked how he took the move to third, Avila said, “I take it as a way to help my team.”

What a concept.

SINSHEIM, GERMANY — On a great day for women’s soccer, it was a good day for Europe’s teams.

The World Cup started Sunday with two stadiums overflowing with goodwill, color and the cheer of nearly 100,000 fans. There were also four goals, including one stunner.

Germany, the two-time defending champion, survived opening-game jitters to beat Canada 2-1 in Berlin and showed that the hosts will be the team to beat.

“It is fantastic,” said Germany’s No. 1 fan in the stands, Chancellor Angela Merkel.

France won the opener against Nigeria 1-0 in Sinsheim to leave the continental neighbors in charge of Group A. The United States begins play in the 16-team tournament Tuesday, facing North Korea in Group C in Dresden.

BASKETBALL Indiana star in coma after crash INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana high school basketball standout who survived a plane crash that killed his father and stepmother is in a drug-induced coma as doctors monitor the badly injured 16-year-old’s brain swelling, his father’s business partner said Sunday.

Austin Hatch suffered brain bruising and swelling and deep facial cuts in Friday’s crash that killed his father, Stephen Hatch, and stepmother, Kim, but has shown some hopeful signs at a northern Michigan hospital, said Dr. G. David Bojrab.

Friday’s crash was the second one Austin has survived. A 2003 crash killed his mother and two siblings. His father was piloting both times. Austin, a high school junior from Fort Wayne, Ind., recently accepted a scholarship to attend and play basketball for the University of Michigan after graduation.

Bojrab said Austin’s brain swelling was going down, and he had been moving all four limbs when doctors reduced the coma-inducing drugs they placed him on after Friday’s crash.

“He has bruising to the brain but there’s no structural damage as far as they can tell right now, so they’re hoping that that’s a good sign and he’ll have a better recovery or a full recovery,” he said.

A spokeswoman for the hospital in Traverse City, Mich., said the teen remained in critical condition Sunday.

A relative, Jason Bowersock of Fort Wayne, said Sunday evening that doctors planned to begin taking Austin off of the coma-inducing drugs this afternoon, while closely monitoring his neurological signs as he regains consciousness.

“Everyone at this point remains very hopeful. All the doctors have been very positive and hopeful given his age and strength. All his other signs are great,” he said.

MLB White Sox put Danks on DL

Los Angeles Angels. He has been a senior adviser with the team since 2009, though he hasn’t managed in the big leagues since 2000 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Johnson also agreed to a three-year consulting contract through 2013 that will allow him to remain with the team and help select a successor for next season. It could be him.

Tigers retire Anderson’s number DETROIT — On the day the Detroit Tigers retired Sparky Anderson’s number, former pitcher Milt Wilcox reflected on how the Hall of Fame manager might have felt if he’d been alive to see the ceremony.

“He wouldn’t want all of the limelight and stuff like that — which he never did want — but he’s such a great guy, and he deserves everything that they’re showering on him now,” Wilcox said. “More so than just being a baseball manager, he was just a great guy. I think that’s what most of the players realized about him — yeah, he was a good manager, maybe even a great manager, but he was a great person.”

The Tigers retired Anderson’s No. 11 before Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a celebration that included a video tribute and appearances by members of Anderson’s family. Anderson, who died last November, managed Detroit to the World Series title in 1984.

GOLF Tseng runs away with LPGA title PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Yani Tseng left no doubt she’s the best female player in the world, running away with the LPGA Championship by 10 strokes Sunday and, at 22, becoming the youngest to win four LPGA majors.

The top-ranked Tseng closed with a 6-under 66 to finish 19-under 269 at Locust Hill Country Club, matching the LPGA-record-low score at a major. Dottie Pepper (1999 Kraft Nabisco) and Karen Stupples (2004 Women’s British Open) also finished at 19 under.

Morgan Pressel (71) finished second. Cristie Kerr (69), Suzann Pettersen (67) and Paula Creamer (69) tied for third at 8 under.

Dodgers rally to avoid sweep The Associated Press

Interleague Dodgers 3, Angels 2 LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw outlasted Jered Weaver in a matchup of Los Angeles aces, and the Dodgers rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Angels on Sunday, preventing a Freeway Series sweep.

Pinch-hitter Aaron Miles, batting for Kershaw, drove in the tying run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly, and Tony Gwynn Jr. won it with a two-out single off Jordan Walden. The Dodgers ended a three-game skid, though they remain nine games below .500.

Kershaw (8-3) gave up six hits in his second consecutive complete game, tying a season high with 11 strikeouts for the second straight outing. He didn’t walk batter in his 100th career start.

Giants 3, Indians 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner bounced back from a one-out, eight-run performance with one of his best starts, striking out a careerhigh 11 batters in seven innings.

Chris Stewart hit a two-run double for his first RBIs in more than four years, and Aubrey Huff added a runscoring single for the Giants, who have won five straight following a season-worst fivegame losing streak.

But the story of the game was Bumgarner (4-9), who showed no lingering effects from his historically bad outing against Minnesota on Tuesday. He gave up hits to the first eight batters he faced against the Twins and became the first pitcher since 1900 to give up nine hits and record just one out in a game.

Boyfriend’s kids need to acclimate to new relationship

Dear Questioning: It’s possible that Jeff’s children are not happy about your relationship and are putting subtle pressure on him to exclude you. It’s also possible that he is uncomfortable behaving as if he has a romantic life when he is with his children. Or, he might be waiting until they are older.

Nonetheless, if you have been together for three years and intend to stay that way, it is best for everyone if the chil-

looking for him in the 1960s.

My father is in his mid-70s now and would like to track down his siblings. He has asked for my help, but I don’t know where to start. His original paperwork and the Internet have only gotten us so far.

We know his birth mother’s first and last name and the first names of his siblings, but we don’t know how to find out more about them. Is there an agency that can help us? — Baby M’s Daughter

Sometimes a simple anecdote is the shortest path to explaining a complicated truth. Or to distorting the facts and confusing the public. The documentary “Hot Coffee” (8 p.m., HBO) takes a contrarian look at the politics, law and language surrounding so-called “frivolous” lawsuits and the powerful business interests that have spent vast sums to make “tort reform” a hot-button issue.

Written and directed by Susan Saladoff, a lawyer with a quarter-century experience in civil law, “Coffee” demonstrates how the tort reform movement has capitalized on cases (like the suit against McDonald’s that gives this documentary its name) to limit the liability of corporations. Saladoff argues that through simplistic arguments and hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying, the tort reform movement has stripped Americans of their constitutional rights as jurors.

Of the many experts heard from here, the most famous is lawyer and best-selling author John Grisham.

Dear Annie: I have been dating Jeff for three years. He has two teenage kids from a prior marriage. During the first two years, I understood that he did separate activities with his children, but I now feel he should include me in more than the occasional dinner.

Jeff claims he wants us to be together forever, but his actions say otherwise. We spend all our time together, except when his kids are involved. Then I am completely excluded. And on occasions when we make plans and the kids want to visit, he will cancel his time with me. He indulges their every whim.

Jeff has no problem interacting with my adult children and me on every level, but won’t give me the same respect. I feel like my future is on perpetual hold. Am I wasting my time with false hopes? — Questioning This Relationship

4. Quinn Mecham: Exactly the kind of guy you want in a backup role. However, as a senior, the coaches can’t afford to give him many snaps unless it’s absolutely necessary.

5. Blake Jablonski: If ever forced into action, he could handle it. Odds of that happening? Slim to none.

2. Quinn Mecham: No mobility and no arm strength, but he’s a smart decisionmaker and an accurate short passer.

3. Blake Jablonski: If only his arm were as strong as it is accurate.

4. Brock Berglund: Getting ranked behind a walk-on here should give him plenty of time to sit and think about what a poor decision he made when he blew off spring football.

5. Michael Cummings: Wearing a red shirt will give his knee time to heal from surgery. Mobile with a strong arm, he has a shot at developing into the QB of the future.

“When you get a lead like that, you can’t let them inch back in,” Hochevar said.

“That’s what I was trying to do, keep them back in that corner and not let them try to wiggle their way out. It was really big for our offense to come in and pick me up early and put six on the board.”

The Royals started with their first six batters reaching in the first. Melky Cabrera led off with a bunt single and stopped at second on Eric Hosmer’s single. Billy Butler delivered an RBI single. Gordon’s double scored Hosmer before Jeff Francoeur, who had three hits, added a runscoring single.

After Moustakas walked, Matt Treanor’s sacrifice fly scored Gordon.

“We wanted to come out and set the tone like we did,” Gordon said. “To get four runs, especially for Hoch, he
