KANSAS VS. ILLINOIS

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TAKES QUESTIONS FROM MEDIA MEMBERS Saturday about preparing to play Illinois, where he served as head coach before coming to KU. Self’s Jayhawks will face the Illini in an NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game today in Tulsa, Okla.

Achieving Kansas University basketball royalty status requires March, and now April, greatness, so it’s premature to elevate junior forward Marcus Morris to that stratosphere.

But if this Kansas team can hang the ultimate banner for the second time in four years, nobody could deny him his rightful place on the all-time Mount Rushmore of Jayhawks basketball players.

In chronological order, the first three busts on such a monument surely must be Clyde Lovellette, Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning. Wilt didn’t win a title at KU, losing to North Carolina in triple overtime, but he was the most dominant bas-

Dukes put end to KU women’s season

By Nick Nelson nnelson@ljworld.com

Like so many times this season, Kansas University relied on Carolyn Davis to shoulder the bulk of its scoring.

But, like so many times this season, Davis couldn’t get it done on her own.

Despite the sophomore’s career-high 38 points, adding 10 rebounds for her ninth doubledouble of the year, the Jayhawks

fell to Duquesne, 80-63, in the second round of the WNIT on Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse, ending their season.

After the lead switched hands twice in the game’s first three minutes, Duquesne took hold of it and never let go.

DU point guard Vanessa Abel had nine points and six assists by halftime, and the Dukes appeared to have things well in hand going in to the break up, 4124.

But KU didn’t go down without a fight.

Monica Engelman hit a jumper with 11:39 to go to spark a 14-0 run, adding a three-pointer during the stretch, to pull KU to within four.

“I was just wanting to hit something. I needed to get the shot, and we needed to get some type of momentum to get it started,” Engelman said.

But Engelman had trouble getting shots to fall. She had just one

other field goal in the first half and made none after the run to finish a frigid 3-for-18 from the floor.

A 30-second DU timeout was enough to wake up the Dukes, who came out of it with a 6-0 run of their own to push the lead back to 10, ending a four-minute John Young/Journal-World Photo scoring drought. That was enough to hold off KU.

Rose in lead at Tampa; Woodland two back PALM HARBOR, FLA. (AP) — Justin Rose is coming off a year in which he won two PGA Tour events on strong golf courses. He knows what to expect from his emotions in the final round and how to stay patient amid a crowded leaderboard.

The four guys behind him have never won.

And that made Rose’s one-shot lead Saturday in the Transitions Championship seem a little larger.

“It doesn’t mean it’s all going to go smoothly tomorrow,” Rose said. “You have to be ready for

whatever happens. But at least I kind of am aware of the ups and downs, and the things I’m going to face. And I think that maybe it’s a lot easier to deal with.”

Rose was patient for long enough for the birdies to fall, and he shot a second straight round of 6-under 65 in more perfect conditions at Innisbrook to build a lead over Brendon de Jonge and Webb Simpson.

A 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole put Rose at 13-under 200, one shot off the 54-hole tournament record.

De Jonge and Simpson have never won on the PGA Tour.

Ne i t h e r h ave t h e t wo g uys another shot behind — rookie Scott Stalling, who only made his first cut in the big leagues last week in Puerto Rico; and Gary Woodland, who lost in a playoff at the Bob Hope Classic this year.

Woodland is an intriguing contender.

He is the latest pure athlete to join the PGA Tour, cut along the lines of Dustin Johnson, only less polished. He spent his freshman

TUCSON, ARIZ. — Jacob Pullen untucked his jersey, knelt down and sobbed. And Kansas State basketball fans everywhere sobbed with him.

The senior guard became Kansas State’s career scoring leader Saturday night, but that’s not what matters. What matters is that the Wildcats lost, 70-65, to Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament’s third round and are finished.

I didn’t think anything could kill Pullen.

He was so good Saturday. Not good, great.

And that word doesn’t even do him justice.

It was Pullen this, Pullen that, Pullen, Pullen, Pullen.

But he kicked away the ball on one late possession that looked like a foul until the replay cameras showed it wasn’t. Then, fouled while attempting a three-pointer, he went to the line with three shots to tie.

But he missed the middle free throw. And finally, his three-point shot to tie the score was blocked by his Wisconsin counterpart, Jordan Taylor, with two seconds left.

It was the only time all night that Taylor got the better of Pullen.

It was Jake’s game until it wasn’t. And I doubt he’ll recover from the shock of losing this one for a long time.

Pullen made 13 of 22 shots. He was 6-of8 from the three-point line. He was magnificent and would have played 40 minutes if not for some foul trouble. He got his second foul with 7:24 to play in the first half and picked up No. 3 with 15:05 remaining in the game.

It was a tough spot for Kansas State coach Frank Martin. How much do you keep your best player, one of the best players in the country, on the bench because of foul trouble? Or do you let Pullen, who has a world of experience, go on?

In hindsight, it’s easy to say Pullen should have stayed out there. As it was, Pullen’s foul problems caused Martin to change the player’s defensive assignment, moving Pullen off Taylor for much of the game.

It wasn’t a big issue because Taylor had a terrible shooting night, making two of 16 shots. But one of those was a huge threepointer with four minutes left that gave Wisconsin a 59-57 lead. And his two free throws with 10.1 seconds put the Badgers up by three.

Taylor, despite an off night, was picked up by his teammates. In the first half, Pullen and senior forward Curtis Kelly had all nine of Kansas State’s baskets. There was a little more contribution from others in the second half, but Pullen and Kelly still combined for 49 points and were the only two Wildcats in double figures.

I’m still shocked the Wildcats — make that Pullen — came up short. Pullen is one of those rare players who, when a game is on the line late, can beat five opponents.

BYU’s Jimmer Fredette and Connecticut’s Kemba Walker are the others.

Pullen scored K-State’s final eight points and 11 of their last 15.

It was the kind of effort that should have been rewarded with a victory. Pullen should have been carried off the court on the shoulders of his teammates, not draping a towel over his head to hide his devastation.

Pullen finished a great career the wrong way. Wisconsin did what I thought couldn’t be done. The Badgers finished off Pullen and left him crying. At least he wasn’t crying alone.

COMMENTARY

KSU’s Pullen didn’t deserve this ending

year playing basketball, saw a greater future in golf and transferred to Kansas University.

That’s when he started facing his first real competition, but after shoulder surgery last year, Woodland is starting to progress quickly.

He lost in the three-man playoff at the Hope, and has been steady on a Copperhead course he has never seen. Woodland, one of the biggest hitters on tour, decided to go conservative and hit mostly 2iron off the tee. It’s working out for him.

Kyle Busch earns checkered flag at Bristol BRISTOL, TENN. — Kyle Busch continued his march through NASCAR’s record books with yet another victory at Bristol Motor Speedway.

His dominating win Saturday was the 46th of his career in the second-tier Nationwide Series, which puts him three back from tying Mark Martin’s record. But in leading 266 of the 300 laps, he became the first driver in series history to lead more than 10,000 laps.

Busch has led a total of 10,035 laps in the Nationwide Series.

And at Bristol? His win Saturday was his 10th spanning all three of NASCAR’s national series, and he’s led a whopping 2,349 laps on the Tennessee bullring.

“Nobody gets around this place better than he does,” crew chief Jason Ratcliffe said.

Busch has won the last four races at Bristol, dating back to August when he had a threerace weekend sweep. He’s got four career Bristol wins in the elite Sprint Cup Series, three in Nationwide and three in the Truck Series.

The Nationwide win moved him closer in his pursuit of Martin’s all-time mark. Martin grabbed a win two weeks ago in Las Vegas, but conceded that Busch would break the mark by this summer. Busch said Martin probably texted him immediately after the race in what’s become good-natured ribbing between the two.

“Mark and I have a little fun egging it on,” he said. “He told me after Las Vegas time is on my side, not his side.”

Kasey Kahne finished second and was followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Elliott Sadler and Joey Logano. Kevin Harvick was sixth, Carl Edwards seventh, and Jason Leffler, Brad Keselowski and Aric Almirola rounded out the top 10.

NFL Former NFL WR Hill dies ATLANTA, GA. — An Atlanta hospital spokesman says former NFL wide receiver Drew Hill, a two-time Pro Bowler who was part of the Houston Oilers’ famed “Run and Shoot” offense of the 1980s, has died.

Piedmont Hospital spokesman Jim Taylor on Saturday confirmed the 54-year-old Hill’s death.

Hill’s management company said he fell ill on a golf course on Thursday and died late Friday after suffering two massive strokes.

Back-and-forth words continue MARCO ISLAND, FLA. — So this is what the NFL and players are reduced to: Both sides are writing letters and issuing statements to and about each other, disputing “facts” and seeking to frame the back-and-forth about the sport’s first work stoppage since 1987.

The locked-out players wrote a letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell on Saturday,

responding to an email he sent them Thursday and telling him: “Your statements are false.”

In a four-page letter, the 11 members of the NFL Players Association executive committee told Goodell that, during labor negotiations, the league’s owners did not justify “their demands for a massive giveback which would have resulted in the worst economic deal for players in major pro sports.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Fiesta officials brace for findings SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — Fiesta Bowl officials are bracing for what could be a scathing report from an internal investigation of the event’s financial and political dealings, some of which may have skirted, or even broken, state and federal law.

The report, which could come out as soon as next week, is the culmination of a probe by a three-member panel that includes two Fiesta Bowl board members and a retired Arizona Supreme Court justice.

Fiesta Bowl President and Chief Executive Officer John Junker, who in two decades directed the once upstart bowl to the land of the BCS giants, was placed on paid administrative leave a month ago as the internal examination proceeded. The investigation is separate from a state attorney general’s probe into possible criminal violations involving political contributions by Fiesta Bowl employees.

TENNIS Nadal, Djokovic to meet in final INDIAN WELLS, CALIF. — Novak Djokovic outlasted Roger Federer, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, to stay undefeated this season and reach the BNP Paribas Open final while knocking the Swiss star from the No. 2 spot in the world on Saturday.

Djokovic will play top-ranked Rafael Nadal in today’s final. Nadal rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the first set to beat Juan Martin del Potro, 6-4, 6-4.

GOLF Stanford takes three-stroke lead PHOENIX — Angela Stanford opened a threestroke lead over Brittany Lincicome on Saturday in the LPGA Founders Cup, shooting her second straight 66.

SOCCER Sporting KC beats Chivas CARSON, CALIF. — Omar Bravo scored twice, and Sporting Kansas City beat Chivas USA, 32, on Saturday night before a crowd of 18,122.

Sporting KC took the lead in the second minute when a failed clearing attempt at midfield by Chivas fell to C.J. Sapong, who beat goalkeeper Zach Thornton.

we struggled to score. The more that happened, the more we looked defeated and deflated on the defensive end,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

“Another scorer on the perimeter is important for us, and it’s more magnified when Monica is struggling as much as she did.”

Davis said she was happy to lead the team, but it needed a scoring threat from the outside. The Jayhawks finished just 2-for-21 (9.5 percent) from three-point range.

“I always want to do that for them, but with that, though, other people have to step up and hit shots,” she said. “We can’t allow one person to carry the load.”

Duquesne’s balanced scoring attack was an overwhelming factor for the Jayhawks. All five starters all ended up in double figures, led by Wumi Agunbiade’s 16 points and a near triple-double from Abel, who finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

DU shot 50 percent from the floor, leading the Dukes to their 14th road win of the year.

Duquesne head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio had nothing but glowing things to say about Davis’ performance.

EDMOND, OKLA. — Ross Johnson went 2-for-4 with a run scored, but Lawrence High’s baseball team fell to Memorial (Okla.) High School, 6-3, on Saturday in the Lions’ spring opener.

Lawrence trailed, 4-0, heading into the sixth inning, when it scored three runs.

Memorial responded in the bottom of the sixth with two

runs, however, to seal the victory.

“Unfortunately, we left our bats in Kansas for the first few innings,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “Then, they arrived in strong fashion. We were a little slow to get our bats started. I was proud of the guys.”

Troy Willoughby went 1for-4 with an RBI double, while Matt Sutliffe was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Stoll also cited stellar infield defense, partic-

ularly by third baseman Shane Willoughby and shortstop Corbin Francisco.

The Lions (0-1) will face Bishop Kelley (Okla.) at 4 p.m.

Monday in Tulsa. Kelley is the No. 1-ranked school in Oklahoma’s 5A classification.

Kansas improved to 25-3 overall. CCU fell to 14-10 with the loss.

Junior Liz Kocon and sophomore Maggie Hull tallied two hits and two RBIs each, while freshman Kendra Cullum also batted in a pair of runs for the Jayhawks.

Kansas got off to a quick start, scoring three runs in the opening inning on a sacrifice fly from Hull and then taking advantage of two CCU errors later in the frame.

The Jayhawks didn’t slow down and collected three more runs on three hits over the next two innings to push their advantage to 6-0.

Coastal Carolina finally scored in the top of the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly, the same strategy Kansas used in the bottom of the fourth as Hull drove in the Jayhawks’ seventh run with a deep fly ball to right field.

Both teams added one more run in the next inning. The Chanticleers led off the top of the fifth with a home run, while Cullum answered back with a solo shot of her own in the bottom of the frame, her second home run of the season.

Sophomore starter Alex Jones improved to 4-0 from the circle. Through the first four innings, Jones struck out four batters and gave up three of CCU’s six hits and both

runs. Senior Allie Clark picked up her second save of the year, closing out the final three innings for the Jayhawks and adding three strikeouts.

In the first game, Hull’s leadoff home run in the top of the eighth inning broke a 2-2 tie to lift KU to the win and spoil Georgia Tech’s 14-game winning streak.

The Jayhawks held a 2-0 lead until the Yellow Jackets (21-5) rallied to knot the score in the bottom of the seventh inning and force an extra frame. Hull quickly gave KU back the advantage as her leadoff shot in the eighth inning to center field sailed over the fence. It marked her fourth home run of the season.

to Rosie Hull in left field and an easy grounder to Cullum at first to end the game.

Clark entered the game in the seventh inning for freshman starter Kristin Martinez and held Georgia Tech to one hit over the final two frames and fanned two batters as she improved to 10-1. Martinez tossed six strong innings for the Jayhawks despite giving up both of the Yellow Jackets runs.

Freshman Ashley Newman led the KU offense going, 3for-4 at the plate. Maggie Hull and Jones also collected two hits apiece as Kansas matched GT with nine hits during the contest.

Kansas will wrap up the weekend at 11 a.m. today when it takes on Coastal Carolina again.

Zito leads Giants past Royals S C O T T S D A L E , A R I Z . ( AP ) — After another strong spring outing, Barry Zito appears to be ready for the start of the season.

Zito pitched six efficient innings, giving up a run and two hits in six innings as the San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals, 3-1, on Saturday.

“He threw very well. He had good command for the most part,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “He got into a few jams but got out of them.

I’m very pleased with how he is throwing and where he is at.

“He was pounding the strike zone. The last two or three outings, he has thrown a lot of strikes.”

Zito, who walked four and struck out two, got support from solo home runs by Cody Ross, Buster Posey and Aubrey Huff.

Ross hit his third homer of the spring off left-hander Bruce Chen in the second inning. Posey hit his third in the fourth, and Huff connected for his fourth in the sixth.

Zito is 40-57 with a 4.45 earned-run average in 131

starts over four years since leaving the Oakland Athletics to move across San Francisco Bay to join the Giants as a free agent October of 2006. He has never quite recaptured the form that earned him the American League Cy Young Award in 2002. He started out 5-0 in 2010, but finished the season at 9-14.

Earlier this month, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Zito’s spot on the Giants’ roster wasn’t guaranteed. However, Bochy immediately denied truth to the report and Zito is 2-0 in four starts with the Giants this spring and pitched f ive innings in a minor-league game.

Now that right-hander Matt Cain has rebounded from elbow stiffness with two solid outings, the Giants’ rotation appears to be set with righthanders Tim Lincecum and Cain, and left-handers Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner and Zito.

The Giants’ starters have limited opponents to two earned runs or fewer in all but one of their games, and that was the opener on Feb. 25.

The closer’s role is another story, however.

San Francisco was hit by the news before the game that closer Brian Wilson will be out temporarily and possibly longer with a strained left rib cage muscle. He will be reevaluated on Monday. Wilson, who led the National League in saves with 48 last year, also was bothered by a stiff back earlier in camp.

Some of the candidates to step in in Wilson’s absence pitched on Saturday — lefthander Jeremy Affeldt and right-handers Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla.

Bochy figured that people would speculate that the job would be Casilla’s, “but you shouldn’t read anything into that. We needed them to get their work in, and this was the only real way to do it with the way Zito was pitching. All three pitchers are expected to throw again today, when the Giants play split-squad games against Oakland and the Chicago Cubs.

Casilla struck out two of the three men he faced in the ninth, relying on a potent curveball.

grown men will weep.

Kindly grandmothers will shout at their TVs. Fists will pump. Chests will bump.

Perfect strangers will embrace.

WE ARE KANSAS. And though only five can be on the floor, we will all raise the roof.

The Associated Press

Southwest Regional Richmond 65, Morehead State 48 DENVER — The program that made its reputation bouncing Barkley to Boeheim was back it again.

Only this time as a favorite.

Slipping into that role every bit as well as they often have as underdogs, the Richmond Spiders defeated No. 13 seed Morehead State on Saturday to advance to the Round of 16 for the first time since 1988.

As the better seed and a four-point favorite, this was one the 12th-seeded Spiders were “supposed” to win, and they did — with relative ease.

They received 19 points from Justin Harper and turned Eagles big man Kenneth Faried into pretty much a non-factor.

The Spiders (29-7) will play the winner of Kansas-Illinois in the Southwest regional semifinals next Friday in San Antonio.

“A lot of teams get (worked up) about where they’re seeded,” Richmond coach Chris Mooney said. “You can’t worry about it too much.

“In the NCAA Tournament, you’re not going to see too many teams get overlooked.”

Richmond bottled up the NBA prospect Faried by shadowing him with two, sometimes three defenders.

Faried, the leading Div. I rebounder in the modern era, finished with 11 points and 13 boards, but it was about as quiet as a double-double gets.

“They didn’t do anything to

“We played Louisville and were able to come up with the upset. We fell short against Richmond.”

Butler knocks out Pitt ————

No. 1 Panthers eliminated in crazy finish

KANSAS STATE’S JACOB PULLEN (0) SHOOTS over Wisconsin’s Jordan Taylor (11) and Mike Bruesewitz. Pullen exploded for 38 points, but the Badgers held off the Wildcats, 70-65, on Saturday in Tucson, Ariz.

Pullen’s 38 not enough for KSU ——

Wisconsin spoils Wildcat guard’s career outing TUCSON, ARIZ. (AP) — Jordan Taylor couldn’t hit a thing, missing open shots and contested ones from just about everywhere on the court.

He did so much more when it mattered, though, and Wisconsin is headed back to the Round of 16 because of him.

Taylor hit two big free throws and blocked Jacob Pullen’s three-point attempt in the closing seconds to overcome a rough shooting night, lifting the Badgers to a 70-65 victory over Kansas State on Saturday in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

Taylor shot just 2-of-16, but came up with the biggest play of the game, swatting Pullen’s tying attempt in the final seconds with Wisconsin (25-8) up three. Josh Gasser then hit two free throws to seal it, sending the fourth-seeded Badgers into the round of 16 for the fourth time since 2000.

Jon Leuer led Wisconsin with 19 points, and Keaton Nankivil added 12. Taylor finished with 12 points, six assists, no turnovers and one big block.

Wisconsin moves on to face upset specialist Butler, a winner over top-seeded Pittsburgh, in the Southeast regional semifinals Thursday in New Orleans.

Pullen matched a career high with 38 points to break Mike Evans’ school career scoring mark (2,115 points), but walked away wiping tears with his jersey after a stellar four years in the Little Apple.

Curtis Kelly (11 points) was the only other player to score in double figures for No. 5 seed Kansas State (23-11).

Kansas State and Wisconsin met in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, though only a handful of current players saw playing time in the Badgers’ 17-point victory.

The Badgers are on pace to set an NCAA record with 7.56 turnovers per game and are led by Taylor, whose 4.03 assist-to-turnover ratio was best in the nation. Wisconsin is also the best free-throwshooting team in the country, close to another NCAA mark (Harvard, 82.2 percent in 1984) at 82.3 percent.

The Badgers played their deliberation operation to perfection in their NCAA opener, grinding down Belmont with 12 three-pointers while putting a spoke in the wheel of the Bruins’ offense.

W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The players in the Butler locker room celebrated their latest stunning upset in the NCAA Tournament by screaming, exchanging high-fives and hugging each other.

Across the arena, Pittsburgh forward Nasir Robinson sat in front of his locker with his shoulders slumped.

His voice was barely audible.

“I take the blame, man. I take the blame for the loss,” Robinson said, referring to the pivotal play in Butler’s 7170 victory over the top-seeded Panthers on Saturday night.

Matt Howard made one free throw with 0.8 seconds left to cap a wild f inal sequence that enabled No. 8 seed Butler (25-9) to advance to the Round of 16 and deal Pittsburgh its latest painful exit from the NCAAs. Each team had a chance to win it from the foul line in the last two seconds. After Butler’s Shelvin Mack inexplicably fouled Gilbert Brown near midcourt with 1.4 seconds left, Brown made the first try to tie it.

He missed the second, and Howard was fouled by Robinson while grabbing the rebound — a foul even more unnecessary than the one that preceded it.

“I’ve been playing basketball my whole life, and I know I shouldn’t have done that. It was a stupid play,” Robinson said. “It wasn’t the ref’s fault.

It was my fault.”

Robinson tried to answer another question, but got choked up and just shook his head side to side before putting a towel over his head.

Then Robinson stuck his arm into the fray.

“I was really surprised,” Howard said. “I felt his arm come across mine, so I just threw the ball to the rim.”

Howard made the first shot, then intentionally banged the second attempt off the rim.

And soon after that, Butler was rejoicing at midcourt.

is 7-1 in its last eight NCAA Tournament games.

The 30 points were two short of Mack’s career high and a Butler tournament record. He went 10-for-16, including 7-of-12 from threepoint range.

Unlike Robinson, he got to laugh about a foul that never should have happened.

“It was the dumbest mistake of my life,” he said.

The Bulldogs will face Wisconsin in the Southeast regional semifinals. No matter what happens, it will almost certainly be tame compared to what Butler went through in Washington.

“You win two games by three points, it’s going to be pretty crazy,” Howard said.

In their tournament opener, the Bulldogs used a tip-in

by Howard to beat Old Dominion at the buzzer. Then came this one, in which Butler blew a 12-point lead and had to rally from a f ive-point deficit over the final 10:37.

“We’re not better than Old Dominion. We’re not better than Pittsburgh,” Butler coach Brad Stevens said. “We just had the ball last.”

Florida flies past Bruins TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — Florida’s smallest player carried the team to its biggest win of the season.

Erving Walker, generously listed at 5 feet, 8 inches, scored 21 points and hit several clutch shots down the stretch as the Gators beat UCLA, 73-65, in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.

Walker scored 10 of Florida’s final 12 points, including four free throws in the final 33 seconds. His most significant basket was a three-pointer with just over minute remaining. That shot gave the second-seeded Gators (28-7) a 69-65 lead and forced the No. 7 seed Bruins (23-11) into desperation mode.

UCLA wasted several chances from the free-throw line, much like it did Thursday against Michigan State.

The Bruins survived that one.

They had no such luck against

Florida, which advanced to the Round of 16 in the Southeast region against BYU. Kenny Boynton added 12 points and five assists for Florida. Alex Tyus chipped in eight points and a season-high 13 rebounds.

Josh Smith and Reeves Nelson led UCLA with 16 points apiece.

The Bruins kept it close throughout by pounding the boards and getting Florida in foul trouble.

But the Gators offset their problems inside with 50 percent shooting, six threepointers and Walker. The junior from New York City took over the game down the stretch.

BYU destroys Gonzaga D E N V E R (AP ) — The game was decided, the clock ticking down, and the Brigham Young fans were the ones doing the celebrating.

“Sweet 16! Sweet 16!” they shouted. Then, an even more fitting refrain: “You got Jimmered!”

Yep, Gonzaga sure did.

And next, Jimmer Fredette takes his high-scoring show to the Big Easy.

The nation’s leading scorer lived up to the hype once again Saturday, going for 34 points to lift third-seeded BYU to an 8967 victory over 11th-seeded Gonzaga and send the Cougars to New Orleans for the regional semifinals.

“He can shoot it from anywhere, as soon as he steps on the floor,” said Gonzaga’s Steven Gray, now on the long list of guards who couldn’t stop Fredette.

BYU (32-4) will make its deepest trip in the NCAA Tournament since 1981, the year Danny Ainge went coast to coast against Notre Dame for a last-second game-winner — a play that still holds a special place in the school’s rich sports history.

Fredette has a few dozen of his own clips on that highlight reel, with a chance to add some more next Thursday against Florida, a 73-65 winner over UCLA on the other side of the Southeast regional.

In this game, the hoop must have seemed as wide as the Mississippi for The Jimmer.

“Believe it or not, I thought we defended him OK,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said.

He shot 7-for-12 from threepoint range, 11-for-23 overall, and after having trouble getting shots over Gonzaga’s tough defense in the first half, he found his rhythm in the second.

He opened the half by pulling up from f ive feet beyond the upper-right part of the three-point arc and swishing the shot. That triggered an 11-2 run that put BYU ahead, 56-40.

Gonzaga pulled within eight, but with 8:58 left, Fredette made a shot from the exact same spot as part of a 120 run that expanded the lead to 20.

What a weekend for BYU, a program that makes the NCAA Tournament almost every year but hasn’t made it out of the first weekend since the Reagan administration.

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF JOKES with Loren Tate of the Illini Sports Network in the hallway outside the team locker room. black before a game and held a mock funeral for Self.

At the funeral, Weber said: “It’s the end of Bill Self. It’s over. There’s no more comparing. He’s gone. No more talking about it. I’ll be honest.

I’m fed up with it.”

Both parties discussed the winter of 2003 funeral on Saturday.

“That’s the only time my wife has been excited when I answered the phone,” Self quipped of wife, Cindy, who called to make sure he was indeed alive.

“I don’t know the context in which some things were handled. I believe in coaching, people do things to benefit their situation. I’ve done it.

Everybody has done it. It was one of those things maybe needed to be done at the time.

It happens. This is a ‘big boy game,’ so to speak. Whatever was said or done, that was not a big deal. I had enough stuff to worry about at KU than worry about other places.”

Weber said the funeral, “was a compliment to (Self), to be honest. How he captured the players, the fans and what he did at Illinois. Somehow I had to say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to move forward.’ I always joked I could never understand people were mad at me because he left. And I had to deal with that.

“Part of it I did for our players, too, because eight games into the season, people are still asking about Bill Self.

Hey, we’ve got to stop this. We have a team, and we made a big push. First outright (Big Ten) championship in 52 years. I had to deal with a little bit of heat when I did it, but

maybe it works, I guess, in the long run.”

Self said he’s not close to Weber, but respects the job he’s done. Of Self, Weber said: “I wouldn’t say he’s one of my best friends, but we have a cordial relationship.”

Just as Self has no problem with Weber, he said he also holds no animosity toward Illinois AD Ron Guenther, who ripped Self publicly for leaving U of I and reportedly ordered Self and his staff out of their offices one day after Self accepted the KU job.

“He was not a good AD. He was a great AD,” Self stressed Saturday, indicating he only has visited with Guenther once since leaving Illinois — at a Jerry Colangelo fundraiser in Chicago.

“I think he is proud of his school and his alma mater. I think anybody that fights for what they believe in, and that’s their passion and job, of course, you have a right to feel a certain way. He may have been (angry at Self leaving). I think that was probably the case for sure. At least it was let known to me that it was initially, but when you go 37-2 and go to the national championship game (under Weber) a couple years later, I would think that would take a little bit of the sting off it.”

Self realizes this is more a big deal to U of I fans than KU fans.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal in Kansas because I came to Kansas,” Self said. “Just like it would not be a big deal in North Carolina when they played Kansas, but it was a big deal to our people.”

That was in the 2008 Final

Four when Self ’s Jayhawks downed former KU coach Roy Williams’ Tar Heels in the national semifinals.

No former Williams players were on that KU team, just as no former Self players are on the current Illini squad.

“I don’t think the fans really care about coach Self anymore,” Illini senior guard Demetri McCamey said. “It’s been eight years. They just worry about us being successful in the tournament.”

Noted senior center Mike Tisdale: “He is a coach, and coach Weber is a coach. We’re going to do our best on the court and talk about all of the stories afterwards.”

Self hasn’t even mentioned to his troops he’s going against his former team.

Players like Marcus Morris have figured it out for themselves.

“Coach has not said a word,” noted freshman Josh Selby, adding, “I’d say 50 percent is win it for coach, and 50 percent is win it for us and our fans. We want to move on.”

“We know coach Self coached there years back,” sophomore Thomas Robinson said, “but to be honest, coach Self doesn’t talk about that. Besides him talking about (former U of I guard) Deron Williams and stuff like that, I haven’t heard too much.

It was long ago when he coached. This isn’t about that.”

“He hasn’t said anything,” noted senior Brady Morningstar, “but as far as us playing his old team, I’m excited for us and excited for him. It would be a good win for him.”

One of Self ’s former KU and U of I assistants isn’t surprised Self has ignored the personal aspect of today’s Round of 32 game.

“Coach doesn’t get caught up in that stuff,” Norm Roberts said in a phone interview. “Those are all coach Weber’s kids now at Illinois.

It’d be much different if it was Dee Brown and Deron Williams and those guys.

That’d be a whole different scenario. This is just KU against Illinois.

“We had a great time in Illinois. The people there were great, cordial, treated us so well. It’s a great state and great school for basketball. I’d say this is not just another game, but it’s the next step to get to the Sweet 16, and I know coach will focus on that and nothing else.”

Illini have ties to Jayhawks

GARY BEDORE’S KU HOOPS NOTEBOOK Praise for Illini Illinois senior guard Demetri McCamey averages 14.9 points, 6.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game heading into tonight’s Round of 32 game against Kansas.

“He makes the game easier for everybody else,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He’s fast, strong, has great vision. When he gets in rhythm, he may be the best guard we’ve played against this year.”

McCamey, 6-3, 200 from Bellwood, Ill., is “one of the biggest guards at our position,” KU freshman Josh Selby said.

“We’re going to have to get up close on him because he can shoot from anywhere.”

KU junior Tyshawn Taylor believes he’ll open defensively on McCamey.

“He has deep range, can shoot the three-ball,” Taylor said. “He controls their team.

As a senior, it’s different.

Seniors know it’s their last hurrah and let everybody have it.”

Self was asked if Brady Morningstar might spend some time on McCamey.

“It could be Brady. It could not be, too,” Self said with a smile.

Noted Morningstar: “Whoever is on him will have a tough task. He’s an all-around point guard that can score and pass the ball. Whenever you have a guy like that, you have to be on your toes and make sure you know where he is at all times.”

KU senior Mario Little, a native of Chicago, played against McCamey in high school. Junior Marcus Morris became friends with McCamey at the LeBron James Skills Academy last summer in Ohio.

“He’s a good guy, a great player. We Tweet a lot,” Morris said. “He reminds me of Deron Williams. He is my favorite point guard.”

Favorite except for KU’s guards, of course.

“I take my guys over everybody, but other than that, yeah,” Morris said.

NBA talk Self was asked if he will have to talk to underclassmen more than usual after the season about the NBA Draft. There is expected to be a lockout this postseason.

“I would think so,” Self said, “but trust me, they are getting counseling, and it’s not always from the staff. They are getting counseling from family members, from agents, from a lot of people that they trust or whatnot, that see it through their eyes. Coaches may see it through our eyes.

“And a lot of times I think there are people out there that feel like coaches are being selfish because they want you back for their own personal benefit. But the lockout is an interesting twist because it doesn’t do a lot of good to get drafted real high if you are not going to get paid. But the agent will say, ‘But you’ll get to your second contract quicker.’

“There’s going to be a give and take on everything. I think the big thing is to have a good relationship with your players where you can be open and honest.

“We’ve always had the philosophy and there’s only been KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON TAKES QUESTIONS once or twice I thought kids from media members in a packed locker room. didn’t make great decisions.

TULSA, OKLA. — One grew up in Oklahoma and has known Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self for years. Two others played for Self at Illinois, with one later coaching under him for a season at KU. Yet another member of Illinois’ coaching staff spent time on Self’s staff when he was at Illinois from 2001-03.

The fact that Illinois coach Bruce Weber was the man who replaced Self may have been one of the hottest topics heading into today’s thirdround NCAA Tournament game between the two programs, but there are nearly a dozen other connections between the two schools that make for much better stories.

Take UI assistant coach Jay Price, for instance. A native of Oklahoma City, Price has known Self, of Edmond, Okla., since their youth. Beyond that, Price has done something at Kansas that Self hasn’t — sat on the KU bench during two national championship games.

A 1991 graduate of KU, Price chose to attend Kansas because of the reputation of its journalism school and the fact that then-coach Larry Brown said he’d let him work with the basketball team.

“The first year I was there, we won the national championship,” Price said of KU’s triumph in 1988. “And my last year there, we finished second to Duke.”

Those are just two on a laundry list of fond memories that Price has of his time at Kansas, many of which have come roaring back since UI knocked off UNLV on Friday.

“I got a text from my old college roommate (Saturday) that said, ‘Good win yesterday, but just so you know, my heart’s cheering for KU,’” Price said. “I would expect nothing less.”

Though his love for all things Jayhawks is well known throughout the UI locker room, Price said he was not conflicted about whom to root for tonight.

“You’re always a fan of the school that you went to, so I always will be a (Kansas) fan,” Price said. “I had a great time, got to be around the basketball program and learned, really, what I’m doing now. So there’s a good place in my heart for that place. I really enjoyed it. But, obviously, I’m an Illinois fan (today).”

Same goes for UI director of basketball operations Sean Harrington, a four-year letterwinner at Illinois (2000-03) who joined Self ’s staff at Kansas for the 2004 season.

Though he has enough memorable moments with Self to fill a small book, Harrington’s allegiance will lie with the Illini tonight.

“It’s been a fun weekend, with (UNLV) coach (Lon)

Kruger being involved, too,” said Harrington, who was coached by Kruger at UI for one season. “So I have connections to all three teams we were dealing with. It’s fun to see them, but at the same time it’s hard because I want them to do well when they’re not playing us, and, obviously, now I want nothing more than for us to win.”

Like Price, Harrington also had nothing but great things to say about Self, Lawrence and the Jayhawks.

“Great experience,” Harrington said of the year he spent as Self’s video coordinator at Kansas. “Their fan base is incredible, and there’s a tradition there that you can’t deny.”

His memories, however, weren’t all about basketball.

“He and I both have a love for food,” Harrington said of Self. “He joked with me when I was with him out there at Kansas, he said, ‘I’ve heard of the freshman 10, but the postgrad 25, I don’t know.’ I put a lot of weight on eating barbecue and cheese with him. We had a lot of great times.”

Add to this list UI assistant Wayne McClain, now in his 10th year as an assistant coach with the Illini, and Jerrance Howard, who was a back-up point guard for Self ’s UI teams from 2001-03, and it’s easy to see that tonight’s match-up, no matter the outcome, will become the latest encounter deposited into the memory bank.

Freshman questionable Illinois freshman guard, Jereme Richmond, 6-foot-7, 205 pounds, remains a question mark for tonight’s game.

Richmond, who averaged eight points and five rebounds in 22 minutes per game this season, missed Friday’s victory against UNLV because of a violation of unspecified, athletic department and team rules. Weber said Saturday he still did not know if Richmond would return against Kansas.

KU the best of the bunch?

Asked during Saturday’s news conference if the Jayhawks would become the best team the Illini had played this season, the UI players who dropped two games to No. 1 Ohio State this season had a tough time giving Kansas the nod.

“It’s going to be one of the top teams,” senior Demetri McCamey said. “We played against Ohio State, Purdue, Gonzaga. We played against talented teams and highranked teams before. It’s going to be a tough matchup for us, but we’re ready for it.”

Added senior forward Mike Davis: “I put them up there with Ohio State. We’ve been playing a great schedule.

We’ve played 18 tournament teams who are in the tournament right now. So we’re prepared.”

KANSAS VS. ILLINOIS

DON’T CHASE THE MARKET Buyer’s market or seller’s market - the simple fact is that your home is worth only what a buyer will pay for it. The simple law of supply and demand usually determines the final sale price. If there are fewer homes for sale in your area, then buyers must compete for those listings, making it a seller’s market.

FOR EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL

While setting a price is ultimately your decision and your decision alone, do some research and educate yourself first. Order an appraisal and consult with a real estate professional to get a realistic figure for your home’s value. If you choose not to comply with current market value, then you won’t be a seller, you’ll just be an owner with a For Sale So if your home is to get attention in sign in the yard. those conditions, you’ve got to price However, when there is a glut of homes for sale, buyers have more choice and more power to dictate price and terms, creating a buyer’s market.

Many communities are seeing large inventories of homes for sale, due to economic conditions and defaults.

the mountain top, should the Jayhawks win the 2011 national title, given Mario’s Miracle three-point shot that sent the game into overtime?

Easy. Marcus brought his twin, Markieff, with him to Kansas. Mario brought his father, Ronnie. The latter didn’t score a point, gather a rebound, get an assist or instruct a player, other than his son, during his three years in Kansas. (The guidelines of his job title prohibited him from on-floor coaching.) Markieff Morris is one of the best big men in the country.

When Marcus decided he wanted to look into coming to Kansas, Markieff followed him because that’s what he always does. Not a bad guy to follow. Markieff had his coach call KU coach Bill Self, who, when taking the call, asked the coach to wait a minute, put him on hold and asked his assistants whether he should be interested in the Morris twins. He quickly was told you bet your life, you should be interested.

Assistant Joe Dooley toured the twins around at Late Night, Marcus pulled the trigger, and Markieff didn’t have any reason to doubt his judgment.

In an era of college basketball in which talented big men tend to depart college for the NBA before they’re good enough to help their college teams win games (think: B.J. Mullens), Kansas has a pair of post players blessed with refined guard skills and fertile basketball brains, all because one of them, Marcus, liked what he saw of Kansas basketball on TV. Now, so many traits coaches love to praise can be found in tandem on Kansas, such as: It’s always nice when your best player is your most unselfish player. Or in KU’s case, when your two best players are your two most unselfish players. (Mix in Tyrel Reed, and that makes the three best players doubling as the three most unselfish.)

It’s so reassuring knowing you always can dump the ball to a reliable post-up player who knows how to post up, is blessed with great hands, a soft touch and the ability to draw fouls. Twice as good to have two of them.

If one of them misses a shot, the other forever is a threat to score from the weak side on a put-back. To double one of them in the post is to risk him dumping off to the other for a slam, or finding an open shooter for a three-pointer.

It never hurts when the best player has a strong voice in the locker room. It’s even better when the second-best player has the exact same voice.

Do not overprice your home, because you may end up making even less money than if you had priced properly from the start. Why? Because sellers who overprice have to keep chasing the market down by reducing their price.

KANSAS FORWARD MARKIEFF MORRIS (21) DELIVERS A DUNK in front of the Boston University defense during KU’s NCAA Tournament-opening victory over the Terriers on Friday in Tulsa, Okla. hawks, Markieff said the players talk among themselves for three or four minutes, and then Self addresses the team for about five minutes.

Who does the most talking before Self takes the floor?

“Probably Marcus,” Markieff said. “I back him up. He just does the talking, and I do the backing up.”

Marcus averages 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds and shoots .586 from the field, .361 from beyond the threepoint semi-circle. Markieff averages 13.6 points and 8.2 rebounds and shoots .597 from the field and .418 from three.

The three-year production of Marcus alone makes him the best of any signing among the Class of 2008 recruits, not even factoring in that he brought his brother with him. UConn’s Kemba Walker (No. 14), North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller (No. 33) and others could lay a claim if they last longer in the tournament.

Marcus was ranked 29th in the class by Rivals, his brother Markieff 49th. KU reserve

Jeff Withey was ranked 36th in a class in which Mullens, who played one year at Ohio State and has spent his professional career riding the shuttle between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Developmental League, was ranked No. 1.

The Twins face far greater challenges today against a pair of Illinois senior post players than in the first round when they faced Boston University’s scrappybut-undersized forwards.

Illinois 7-foot-1 senior center Mike Tisdale shoots threes (42.6 percent) and blocks shots (1.6 per game), and long, quick 6-9 power forward Mike Davis (12.3 points, 7.2 rebounds) gets a lot done close to the basket.

Given the Boston University game was so close throughout the first half, overconfidence won’t become an issue for KU. “I think we’re scared to lose, and I think that’s a good thing,” Markieff said. “Last year, we thought we were unbeatable. This year, we’re more humble.”

Baylor still very young

MARQUETTE GUARD TATIYIANA MCMORRIS, SECOND FROM LEFT, IS MOBBED by her teammates after her three-pointer in the closing seconds gave Marquette the victory. Marquette defeated Texas, 68-65, on Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Marquette ousts Texas ————

Iowa State, Texas Tech knocked out The Associated Press

“The play they ran at the end we knew was coming, but we didn’t do a good job switching out,” Texas coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We played extremely hard, sometimes not well. I’m a little disappointed that we didn’t attack the basket more. That’s really our game.”

Marquette finished 13-of-14 from the foul line. Texas attempted no free throws for the first time in school history after the Golden Eagles were charged with just nine personal fouls.

Nash led the Longhorns with 19 points, Chassidy Fussell scored 11 and Ashleigh Fontenette had 10. Gayle pulled in 11 boards as Texas outrebounded the Golden Eagles, 42-35.

Fiedorowicz finished with 14 points, and McMorris had 13 for Marquette, which has won seven of its last nine games by five points or fewer.

The senior trio of Robinson, Fiedorowicz and McMorris each boast double-f igure scoring averages for the season.

The Golden Eagles shot 44.6 percent and scored 11 points off 11 turnovers. The Longhorns, who have now lost three straight first-round NCAA games, hit 39.2 percent of their shots.

“We had a few shots blocked. We stopped attacking for some reason, and that’s a huge part of our game,” Nash said. “We settled for outside jump shots. That was huge for us that we didn’t get those free throws.”

Marquette 68, Texas 65 K N O X V I L L E , T E N N . — Marquette’s seniors had never had a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament before this season, and they weren’t about to settle for a loss in the first round.

Senior guard Tatiyiana McMorris made a threepointer with 10 seconds left that gave Marquette a 68-65 lead, and ninth-seeded Texas failed to get off a proper shot when Kathleen Nash got stuck in a crowd of defenders as time expired Saturday.

The Golden Eagles were moving on.

“I felt like I was going to be open,” McMorris said. “Once I got it I knew I had to shoot it. If I missed, I knew we were going to overtime, so I was confident.”

Angel Robinson, a fellow senior, finished with 19 points to lead the eighth-seeded Golden Eagles (24-8), who will face No. 1 seed Tennessee in the Dayton region on Monday. Marquette is making its fourth appearance in the second round but has never advanced to the semifinals.

“These seniors have a mentality that they will not be denied,” Marquette coach Terri Mitchell said. “Even when Texas went on a run, you could just hear the energy in our timeouts.”

The Longhorns (19-14) led by as many as nine with 12:38 left in the second half, and still had a 59-54 advantage when McMorris hit a three-pointer with 6:58 remaining to close TEXAS (19-14) the gap.

WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Baylor went to the Final Four last season when Brittney Griner was a freshman. This time, the Bears are a No. 1 seed for the first time with freshman starting point guard Odyssey Sims.

The Big 12 champions are very good — and still very young.

The 6-foot-8 Griner is among seven sophomores for the Bears (31-2), who open the NCAA Tournament against SWAC champion Prairie View (21-11) tonight at home, where they are 19-0 this season.

The only of their top seven scorers who doesn’t have at least two seasons left after this is starting guard Melissa Jones, their only senior who plays significant minutes.

“Yeah, we’re young, but that’s not an excuse when games are on the line,” said Sims, who is averaging 13.5 points. “We aren’t considered freshman, sophomore, senior out there. Everybody is just considered a basketball player.”

They may be young, but these baby Bears have already had quite a bit of experience.

Baylor is 8-1 this season against teams ranked in the final AP poll, the lone loss by one point at two-time defending national champion Connecticut the first week of the season. The Bears also had an 11-point win at home against Tennessee, another No. 1 NCAA seed.

“Getting to play them earlier, that helped show us where we were,” Griner said.

In the first game today at Waco, Conference USA champion Houston (26-5) plays West Virginia (23-9) from the Big East. The two winners play Tuesday night.

The Cougars, in their first NCAA tournament since 2005, had won 17 games in a row before losing in the CUSA tournament semifinals to Tulane. West Virginia opened the season with a 16game winning streak and was 19-1 before losing eight of its last 12 games.

Baylor is hosting NCAA ga m e s fo r t h e f i rs t t i m e since 2002, when the Lady Bears were a No. 2 seed and lost in the second round to Drake.

That was when coach Kim Mulkey was still trying to establish a consistent winner for a program that had won only seven games and was last in the Big 12 the year before she arrived in 2000. The Bears are now making their ninth consecutive NCAA appearance, a span that includes the 2005 championship among five times they advanced to at least the round of 16.

CITY COMMISSION RACE

Candidates weigh options for shelter

This old house full of Lawrence history

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

When it comes to downtown Lawrence, there’s plenty to talk about these days in regard to a host of projects that are happening or are on the drawing board.

For example: an $18 million expansion of the Lawrence Public Library; a $10 million, sevenstory office, retail and residential building that is under construction at Ninth and New Hampshire streets; and a proposal to turn a city-owned parking lot near Ninth and Vermont streets into a mixed-use building that might house a long-discussed downtown grocery.

Brownback, regents tussle Owners restore home, over cancer one of first built in city center funds

TOPEKA — A tug-of-war is going on between Gov. Sam Brownback and some in the Legislature over funding high-profile projects at public universities, including the Kansas University Cancer Center.

In his budget plan, Brownback, a Republican, has proposed providing $5 million each to KU, Kansas State and Wichita State in research funding.

The funding, which would go toward cancer research at KU, would be made available only if each of the three institutions matches that amount, either through fundraising or reallocation of existing sources. Officials at the schools have said they have no problem with that.

But under Brownback’s plan, the funding would not go through the Board of Regents, which oversees higher education. The funding would be made by the Kansas Department of Commerce, which is led by a Cabinet secretary appointed by the governor.

Regents members have questioned the logic in that.

Brownback Last week, the Senate budgetwriting committee recommended a budget that would keep the funding under the regents’ authority.

“Those dollars have traditionally been in the regents,” said Sen. Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, and chairwoman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee. “We basically put those back where they have been.”

The full Senate will take up the committee’s budget proposal later this month.

Brownback has said he proposed moving those allocations through Commerce because that is the agency in charge of coordinating strategies to improve the economy.

Brownback made a similar move in his proposal to allocate $1 million to Commerce to provide a competitive grant to expand engineering.

Senate Republicans upped the ante with a proposal to use $4 million in gaming revenues in 2013 and $7 million per year in 2014 and each year after that to increase the number of engineering graduates at KU, K-State and Wichita State. Under the Senate proposal, those funds would be under the authority of the regents.

Steve Scannell was browsing Kansas University’s website one day at work when he came across a historical article about architects at KU. Being an architect himself in design and construction management, he read the article and

stumbled across a name he recognized: Ferdinand Fuller.

Fuller was an early architect in Lawrence and designed the first building for Kansas University. Suddenly, Scannell learned he had a much more personal connection with Fuller. Fuller’s NEWSPAPERS FROM THE TIME the Scannells’ house was built were found wedged behind Please see HOUSE, page 2B a fireplace during renovations.

Allies launch Libya force as Gadhafi hits rebels BENGHAZI, LIBYA (AP) — The U.S. and European nations pounded Moammar Gadhafi’s forces and air defenses with cruise missiles and airstrikes Saturday, launching the broadest international military effort since the Iraq war in support of an uprising that had seemed on the verge of

defeat. Libyan state TV claimed 48 people had been killed in the attacks, but the report could not be independently verified.

The longtime Libyan leader vowed to defend his country from what he called “crusader aggression” and warned the involvement of international

forces will subject the Mediterranean and North African region to danger and put civilians at risk.

The U.S. military said 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from American and British ships and submarines at more than 20 coastal targets to clear

the way for air patrols to ground Libya’s air force. French fighter jets fired the first salvos, carrying out several strikes in the rebel-held east, while British fighter jets also bombarded the North African nation.

DEATHS WILLFRED E UDALY Graveside service for Willfred “Skillet” Eudaly, 100, Lawrence, will be at a later date in Memorial Park Cemetery.

Mr. Eudaly died Wednesday, March 16, 2011, at his home.

He was born June 9, 1910, in Lawrence, the son of William Arthur and Martha Lora Lindley Eudaly. He graduated from Liberty Memorial High School in 1929.

During high school, he worked as a clerk for his father and uncle who owned Eudaly Bros. Garage. Mr. Eudaly later attended business school for two years. In the 1930s, he was an accountant at the Douglas County Courthouse. In the late 1930s, he opened the Snappy Lunch Restaurant in

the 600 block of Massachusetts Street, which was the first restaurant in town serving hamburgers.

Mr. Eudaly owned and operated several businesses at 1906 Mass.: Grover’s Market and Skillet’s Tavern, which transitioned into Skillet’s Liquor Store in 1948. It was the first liquor store in Lawrence.

He married Lucille Westerhaus on April 25, 1931, in Lawrence. She preceded him in death in 1990.

He was also preceded in death by a son, Warren, in 1996.

Survivors include three grandchildren, Vicki Eudaly and Steven, both of Lawrence, and Scott, rural Baldwin City; and four great-grandchildren.

was the first name on the deed of the land for the house Scannell had just moved into, dating back to the 1854. Scannell’s house, 1005 Sunset Drive near Hillcrest School, was one of the oldest in Lawrence. In February, the house was added to the Register of Historic Kansas Places.

“When we bought the house, we had no idea how old or historic it was,” Scannell said.

In 2009, Scannell and his wife, Lynn, were in the market for a home with a porch near campus. They toured the 1005 Sunset house one day and made an offer the next. They thought the style of the old farmhouse would fit their tastes and the furniture Lynn had been collecting for years.

STEVE AND LYNN SCANNELL moved into their house at 1005 Sunset Drive in 2009 and soon discovered it is one of the oldest houses in the city. They agreed the style of the house, as shown in the front living room, suited their own.

“It’s like she’s been buying furnishings for this house since the day we were married, and we didn’t know it,” Steve said of his wife. used to carry chemistry supplies delivered to KU in the 1800s.

The Scannells used and preserved many materials that were already in the house, at one point moving a historic door to fit a new floor plan upstairs. Keeping these materials meant supplies weren’t hard to find, and the Scannells paid for the project by reinvesting money they got from selling their previous house in Topeka.

The home’s historical designation also meant that historically significant elements of the house couldn’t be changed, such as the form of the house, the authentic windows or the original wood floors.

Builders during the renovation would suggest they throw out original trim, but the Scannells kept it, for style and history’s sake. They carried on that style when decorating after the renovation, leaving walls painted white and passing on wallpaper.

“The simplicity of it seems to make sense,” Lynn said.

Restoration Much of the renovation work that went into the house can’t be seen now, Lynn said.

The wiring, plumbing and other nuts and bolts of the house had to be updated.

“We wanted to really save the house because it’s a neat old house. There’s a pretty good chance if a developer bought it they would have torn it down,” Steve said.

Steve said he was surprised that the house was in the condition it was, because many houses from the time were stone or brick.

“This is unusual because it’s a wood frame structure,” he said. “People don’t realize how old it is.”

Much of the updating has included closing areas that could let in drafts and installing a new roof over the family room.

“Living in a house like this makes you think of ways to be more efficient,” Lynn said.

And the Scannells seem made for this house. Because Steve is an architect, he can do much of the renovation work and research himself.

Lynn has been collecting historical pottery and housewares, and now it finally has a place to shine.

“When we walked into the house, we just said, ‘OK, everything’s going to work here,’” Lynn said. “It allows me to pretend I’m living in that time period.”

Still on the restoration list is repainting the exterior, replacing the nonhistorical windows in the house, filling in any chinks in the foundation and updating the kitchen.

“We’re trying to get the major stuff done early so we can enjoy it,” Steve said.

Farther out is installing a circular driveway in front of the detached garage, more landscaping, and Lynn wants some egg-laying chickens. Steve said if he were ever lucky enough to win the lottery, he would take off the siding that has been added to expose the original siding, which would make the house eligible for the national register.

But for now, they’re going at a steady pace to create the perfect home while preserving a piece of Lawrence’s history.

“We’re not in too big a hurry. We enjoy the process of doing something over time,” Lynn said. “It’s not a project, it’s a work of art.”

Study: Kansas parks a sound investment

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Most of us value parks for their beauty and tranquility.

But a recent study by Kansas University business students found that for Kansas parks, residents might want to add smart economic investment to the list.

KU’s Jayhawk Consulting group found that for every $1 invested in parks and recreation, there is a $1.70 return.

The study was commissioned by the Kansas Recreation and Park Association, a nonprofit group that wanted to take a look at the value of green space in Kansas.

“We’ve always felt that they are an essential service to our communities. This gives us supporting data that it has an economic value,” said Doug Vance, who is the executive director for the Kansas Recreation and Park Association.

Students found that for every $1 spent on programs, facilities, activities and employees, $1.70 was returned to the economy.

They worked off a model that is frequently used by other state agencies.

He was meeting with groups in Washington, D.C., this week where he presented the findings.

“It’s a good resource. You have to — as an industry, as an organization — explain the economic value in today’s economic times,” Vance said.

The research also showed that real estate values go up in Kansas for property owners who live near green space. In different cities throughout Kansas, the students looked at housing prices for homes next to a park, a mile away and three miles away.

“What we found is a direct correlation on housing value and proximity to parks,” said Wally Meyer, director of Entrepreneurship Programs

at KU’s School of Business.

“The closer you are to a park, the higher the value of homes.”

Even without the boost to the economy, the study found that parks and recreation provides healthy benef its.

According to surveys, 73 percent of Kansas residents use recreation and park services at least once a week, and 60 percent factored in the lower cost when using the facilities.

Exercise was given as the No. 1 reason for using parks and recreation. Without the facilities, 31 percent of those surveyed said they would do nothing and 66 percent said they would find a substitute program that would cost more.

Volunteers take on a bunch of pansies 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

100 anti-war protesters arrested More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House on Saturday in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing “We Shall Not Be Moved,” were arrested after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House. The demonstrators cheered loudly as Daniel Ellsberg, the former military analyst who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon’s secret history of the Vietnam War that was later published in major newspapers, was arrested and led away by police.

In New York City, about 80 protesters gathered near the U.S. military recruiting center in Times Square, chanting “No to war” and carrying banners that read, “I am not paying for war” and “Butter not guns.”

The demonstration in Washington on Saturday merged varied causes, including protesters demanding a U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan as well as those supporting Bradley Manning, the jailed Army private suspected of giving classified documents to the website WikiLeaks.

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

U.S. ambassador to Mexico resigns U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual, who criticized his host government’s handling of the drug problem in a cable divulged by the WikiLeaks website, has resigned, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday.

President Felipe Calderon, who met earlier this month with Obama at the White House, had taken umbrage publicly in February over remarks Pascual made in a diplomatic cable about the Mexicans’ handling of the anti-drug trafficking effort there. The diplomatic document was among tens of thousands disclosed by the WikiLeaks website.

Clinton took the unusual step of announcing the departure of an individual member of the diplomatic corps, and while she was on the road, meeting with U.S. allies in Paris on the commencement of bombing strikes against Moammar Gadhafi’s Libya. The announcement also came as President Barack Obama was concluding the first day of a five-day trip to Latin America. Pascual had been a member of the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Billionaire Trump considering 2012 run Donald Trump boots contestants off his TV show with a famous two-word catch phrase: “You’re fired.”

He may want the chance to say the same to President Barack Obama.

The real estate tycoon with the comb-over hairdo and in-your-face attitude plans to decide by June whether to join the field of GOP contenders competing in 2012 to make the Democratic incumbent a one-term president.

Trump insists he’s serious. He rejects skeptics’ claims that he’s using the publicity to draw viewers to “Celebrity Apprentice,” the NBC reality program he co-produces and hosts.

“But the country is doing so badly. I wish there was someone in the Republican field I thought would be incredible because that’s what we need right now,” Trump told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

3 | BERLIN

Beloved polar bear Knut dies at age 4 Berlin’s beloved polar bear Knut, an international star who as a cuddly, fluffy cub graced magazine covers, movies and merchandise, died Saturday. His death at the young age of 4 took zookeepers and animal experts by surprise.

The celebrity bear died suddenly in his compound at the Berlin Zoo on Saturday afternoon, bear keeper Heiner Kloes told The Associated Press. He waded into the water in his enclosure before having a short spasm and then dying in front of hundreds of zoo visitors.

While the life expectancy of polar bear in the wild is between 15 and 20 years, animals in captivity can live even longer because they are not exposed to hunger, thirst or infections. A postmortem will be conducted on Monday to try to pinpoint the cause of death, Kloes said.

“He certainly did not die of old age,” Thomas Pietsch from the Vier Pfoten group for the prevention of cruelty to animals told German news agency DAPD.

UFO summit probes alien topics

sophisticated topics such as “Tornado Core Measurements” and “Visual Precursors to Tornado Formation.”

Alexander said his department benefits from the training because the technology is constantly improving.

“They just keep polishing the stone,” said Alexander of some of the developments he’s seen at the symposium.

Alexander talked excitedly about “super cells” and tornado formation, and said it’s easy to get hooked on storms.

“It’s in your blood,” he said.

From alien abductions to mysterious cattle deaths to nuclear weapons, speakers at this weekend’s first UFO Reykawvik Summit did not lack interesting topics.

As Lauing spoke to about 150 spectators Saturday morning, he warned that the first speaker would touch on some controversial topics.

“This is a hot potato. Nobody wants to touch this,” said Lauing as he introduced Butch Witkowski, director of the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania.

Witkowski’s presentation — gruesome photos included — focused on cases of dead humans and animals, particularly cattle, who’ve been injured in such mysterious ways as to suggest nonhuman abduction and experimentation.

Witkowski said his motivation for investigating UFO sightings, possible alien abductions and the paranormal is simply to “find the truth.”

Impressed by the knowledge base displayed by crowd members who peppered him with questions, Witkowski said the event was a great opportunity for people in the area to network about investigations.

“I think there’s a great number of people out here in the Midwest who have a lot of information to share,” he said.

The event continues through this afternoon. For more information, visit ozufo.net.

KU grad focusing energy on Solar Decathlon contest

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

When Elisabeth Neigert decided to help lead a group of students in the international Solar Decathlon competition, she never expected it would involve lobbying Congress and blogging for the Huffington Post.

This winter, Neigert, a former Lawrence resident and KU graduate, found herself at the center of a political campaign to keep the international student competition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Solar Decathlon is a biennial event sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy that challenges 20 collegiate teams to

design, build and operate a home that can function entirely on solar energy. The home also has to be affordable, energy efficient, attractive and comfortable.

In late September, the teams will have seven days to assemble the homes in the National Mall.

Neigert, who was visiting her parents, Linda and Klaus Neigert, in Lawrence last weekend, moved to Los Angeles to obtain a master’s degree in architecture from the Southern California Institute of Architecture. She teamed up with classmate Reed Finlay and students from California Institute of Technology to create a team for the 2011 Solar Decathlon.

The team has designed a 740-

square-foot home in the shape of a hexagon. One of the most innovative features of the home is placing the insulation outside of the interior walls and then covering that insulation with a vinyl skin. The technique has the home looking like a giant white mattress.

Each team, which includes 16 teams from the United States and four from around the world, is given $100,000 from the DOE to use as seed money. The rest, which in the case of Neigert’s project will be about $1.15 million, has to be raised by the team.

Much of it is covered with donation of materials and supplies.

Weather gives event attendees firsthand lesson on preparedness

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

If anybody was ready for severe weather, it was the attendees of Saturday’s 11th annual Severe Weather Symposium at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. And they a received a mini-test of their emergency preparedness toward the end of the event.

Local weathermen scattered and cellphones buzzed just seconds after a severe thunderstorm warning was issued — then canceled — for the area.

It’s that threat of hail, storms and Kansas twisters that gets these weather af icionados going.

“It’s the adventure of being able to see this planet in action,” said Sarcoxie Township Fire Chief Jay Alexander, who brought along his crew for the fourth straight year.

Many of the more than 100 attendees sported firefighter uniforms or other emergency response agency badges while others were amateur storm chasers and spotters.

The symposium was designed to provide an advanced level of training on severe weather, said Jillian Rodrigue, assistant director of Douglas County Emergency Management, which sponsored the event.

High school scholars’ accomplishments go beyond academics

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Ten students from eight area high schools are more than successful in the classroom, involved in their communities, articulate and effective with the written word, and capable of leaving strong impressions among established academic leaders.

Actually, the JournalWorld’s 2011 Academic AllStars are all that and more.

“They fill a broad picture, one that’s more than just academics,” said Robert Harrington, a professor of psychology and research in education at Kansas University, who served as a judge for the com-

petition.

The newspaper’s 2011 AllStars are Carson Barnes, Baldwin High School; Shereen Fattaahi, Veritas Christian School; Angela Hawkins, Santa Fe Trail High School; Madison Hunter, Tonganoxie High School; Corrinne Hoffhines, McLouth High School; David Lawrence, Bishop Seabury Academy; Rosemarie Murray, Free State High School; Anna Stone, Ottawa High School; Marshall Thurman, Bishop Seabury Academy; and Ann Wallsmith, Baldwin High School.

Lawrence High School did not participate in this year’s competition.

Judges were Harrington;

Austin Turney, a former president and member of the Lawrence school board; and Rand Ziegler, vice president and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Baker University.

Selection criteria included academic achievements; extracurricular activities, including community involvement; a written essay, judged on grammar, clarity, development and passion; and overall judges’ impressions.

All-Stars and their guests were honored during a luncheon Wednesday at Pachamama’s, 800 N.H. Guest speaker was Val Stella, University Distinguished Professor of Phar-

maceutical Chemistry at KU. Stella urged the All-Stars to chart their educational futures based upon the people they would be surrounding themselves with, not necessarily upon the name of a college or university. Stella, a native Australian, explained how he came to KU to study under Tak Higuchi, a professor he regards as an “immortal.”

The students each received a gift during Wednesday’s Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo luncheon.

Journal-World’s 2011 Academic All-Star team Carson Barnes

Carson Barnes started with the Real World Design Challenge at the insistence of a teacher. Little did he know that because of the challenge he would eventually meet President Obama.

Barnes and his team won the challenge in 2010 for designing a jet engine tail to deal with fuel efficiency in aviation. After putting in 200 hours of work on the project, Barnes was named a national champion.

“We were ecstatic. It was awesome,” he said. “We were kind of in disbelief, because we never thought it would win.”

Barnes is interested in all kinds of engineering and is planning to go into mechanical. He also likes the organization side of things. It helped him keep the design project in check, but it didn’t prepare him for meeting Obama.

“It’s hard to describe. He has his presence in a room, and time stops for a Barnes minute,” he said.

When Barnes isn’t winning national championships, he’s out on the track, working to improve his event, the decathlon. He started the sport when he was 8, and ever since has been dedicated to it.

“I really got hooked,” he said. “I’m a little bit of everything. I do the decathlon.”

Barnes said he tries all different types of activities to see what he likes, but he knows that engineering is his passion. His victory in the challenge only reinforced that.

“It’s shown me that I can do what I set my mind to, and there’s lots of opportunities,” he said.

Shereen Fattaahi

Look for Shereen Fattaahi outside of school hours and she can often be found working out. She plays volleyball, basketball and runs track at Veritas Christian School.

“It takes my mind off all the stress of the day,” she said.

Running is a particular passion, and Fattaahi started running races outside of track to keep her busy. She just ran the Shamrock Shuffle, which ended in a surprise.

“I didn’t know it was a competition, but I got first in my age group,” she said.

Despite working out to take her mind off school, she likes attending the small private school, which has about 160 students from kindergarten to 12th grade.

Fattaahi said she felt like a role model and a leader to a lot of the younger kids.

“Whatever I do will affect Fattaahi a lot of the choices there,” she said. “You’re taking care of others and setting an example.”

Fattaahi is excited for the extra freedoms she’ll enjoy in college, which she’s attending with the goal to eventually move on to medical school. She wants to be a plastic surgeon, but she didn’t always know she wanted that discipline.

“I always knew I wanted to be some kind of doctor, narrowed down to surgeon. I’m very detail-oriented,” she said. “I narrowed it down to plastic surgery because my mom’s like, ‘Oh you have so much talent in art. Put that talent to art.’ There’s kind of an art to surgery.”

Angela Hawkins

Gene Kelly, Shirley Temple and Fred Astaire are names that have come up multiple times in Angela Hawkins’ life. When she was little, her grandma showed her Shirley Temple movies, which catered to Hawkins’ love of dance. But then she started liking the historical aspect to the movies.

“As I gradually got older, it kind of grew on me,” she said.

Hawkins started dancing when she was 3, when her mother and two other friends with daughters Hawkins’ age put their kids into dance class. Hawkins never looked back. Tap is her favorite style.

“It’s pretty rare. I think I’m the only one at my high school who does it,” she said.

When Hawkins isn’t dancing during halftime shows of games or in dance Hawkins class, she’s working on her high school paper, the Red & Blue Review.

She decided she wanted to be a journalist when she saw Katie Couric sitting in her big chair on the news every night. She’s attending Kansas University in the fall and has been directly admitted to the journalism school.

“I like talking to people,” she said. “I like having interaction with other people without having the pressure, the focus on me.”

She’s excited to leave for college, too. She likes her high school, but is ready to expand her world beyond Santa Fe Trail High School.

“I kind of feel like a big fish in a small pond,” she said. “It would just be really nice to get out and learn more about the world.”

School: Santa Fe Trail High School Grade-point average: 4.0 Class rank: 3 Parents: Mitch and Cheryl Hawkins, Scranton Highlights of achievements: KU Honor Scholar (12), variety show (9-11), Students Against Destructive Decisions (9-12), Kansas Association of Youth (9-12), National Honor Society (11-12), fall musical (9-12), newspaper staff (10-12), dance team (10-12) College: Kansas University Career plans: news reporter Major: journalism

Corinne Hoffhines

Corinne Hoffhines might seem like a busy girl. She’s involved in 4-H, band, dance, forensics and just about every type of organization at McLouth High School. It’s all for a reason, though.

Five years ago, a family friend died in a four-wheeling accident, and ever since then Hoffhines has tried to enjoy life as much as possible.

“It makes me think that I need to live life to the fullest and not to take a single minute for granted,” she said. “I’m doing things that I wouldn’t ever see myself Hoffhines doing.”

That’s how she got involved in forensics, after the coach had been trying to convince her to try for years.

“I tried it last year and I love it,” she said.

“It’s definitely taught me teamwork, because we all work as a team to do better.”

Hoffhines heads off to Washburn University next fall to get a degree in secondary math education. She said her math teacher in school stresses how important it is to educate the next generation in the subject.

“Math is a huge role in everybody’s life,” she said. “I think it’s important that we educate them.”

School: McLouth High School Grade-point average: 4.0 Class rank: 1 Parents: Chris and Angela Hoffhines, McLouth Highlights of achievements: National Honor Society (11-12), Delaware Valley

Madison Hunter

Madison Hunter used to go to a small private school in Tonganoxie. Her class had 12 people in it, and she grew up with those kids. But in fifth grade, her family decided it would be best for her to transfer to the larger public Tonganoxie High School. She hasn’t looked back since.

“I got to see the social aspect at the public school,” she said. “It was just being in a different environment. I had so many more different electives.”

Hunter has taken advantage of all the opportunities available at the school, participating in band, choir, art and drama classes. These classes, especially drama, allowed her to branch out, such as when she was Cogsworth’s understudy during a school production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

Hunter “It’s a way for me to express myself,” she said. “I was always kind of a shy girl when I was younger.”

In addition to her love of the arts, she’s also a self-described “nerdy kid” who loves science and math. For Science Olympiad, she builds towers and tests them to see how she can make them better. And for her career, she wants to become a math teacher, following in the footsteps of many of her aunts.

“I enjoy helping people learn,” she said.

“It makes me feel good after I’ve helped someone.”

David Lawrence

David Lawrence thought something was missing at Bishop Seabury Academy. He was into current events and regularly debated them with his friends, and he decided the school needed an outlet for such discussions. So he started the state’s first 1A debate team.

“I thought it would be a lot of fun. I thought it would be intellectually engaging,” he said.

There aren’t enough 1A or 2A schools with teams to have a state tournament, so the team competes at the 3A level. Lawrence worked to coach the team and was the Lawrence main author of its constitution. While he’s leaving the team for college, his experience will always be with him.

“I will certainly take the skills with me regardless of what I do,” he said.

Lawrence has another start-up under his belt: the website www.jitneysnow.com. A visit shows a reader that a jitney is a form of public transportation, a cross between a bus and a taxi, that was outlawed in the early 20th century.

Lawrence started talking about the vehicles with his parents when they discussed economics and transportation. When a debate topic was social services, he said his idea took off and he built the site.

“I did my part for now in terms of being politically active with it,” he said. “It’s something that would really only be good for

cities with really high urban densities.”

In the fall he’s headed to Yale, where both his parents went. He’s excited to leave but says he’ll miss high school.

“I was raised with the idea that Yale is a fantastic place,” he said. “I’m going to really miss high school, but I’m very excited. It’s bittersweet.”

Rosemarie Murray

Rosemarie Murray’s family is split.

There’s the science side, with her father the nuclear physicist and her sister the chemical engineer. On the humanities side, her older brother is in philosophy and her younger brother wants to do English. Rosemarie is going to join the science side.

She became involved in engineering when she joined Science Olympiad in eighth grade and decided she liked figuring out how things work.

“I really liked the process of here’s what we need the machine to do, how do we find a machine that can do that?” she said.

That set off a chain of engineering-focused activities for her. She took an Murray independent study of the mechanics of lift, then shadowed an aerospace engineering professor at Kansas University. Then came another independent study, this time in the history of sound recording. All her experiences have given her a goal for after she gets an aerospace engineering degree and a master’s in mechanical engineering.

“One of the things I’d really like to do is look at nature and try to design something inspired by nature,” she said.

Faith is the other major part of her life, something Murray said her mother has instilled in her and her family of nine. She was confirmed in the Catholic Church in ninth grade, and that’s when she really started making it her own.

“I’ve always gone to church every Sunday since I can remember,” she said.

School: Free State High School Grade-point average: 4.0 Class rank: 1 Parents: Michael Murray and Maureen Meehan-Murray, Lawrence Highlights of achievements: National Honor Society (11-12), Kansas Honor Scholar (12), KU engineering design competition team captain (9), Band (9-12), Choir (9-12), Dance (9, 11), Math team (9-12), Lawrence Youth Symphony (9-10), Knowledge Master participant (9-11).

Anna Stone

Signs up around Ottawa High School advertised a new ninja club, and students were buzzing about it.

Many signed up, but when it came time to attend the meeting, no one could find the room. That’s because it didn’t exist.

Anna Stone and a friend were behind the sign, one of the harmless pranks she said she did at school to Stone keep her time there lighthearted.

“You have to have fun in high school, but you have to express yourself somehow,” she said.

That’s not to say she doesn’t take her schoolwork seriously. Stone has discovered CONTINUED ON PAGE 6B

a passion for all things politics and history, after her teacher in the gifted program made her and a friend do a project for National History Day in sixth grade. She also had a mentor in Lisa Rivers, her adviser in Youth Action Council and Youth in Government.

“I was kind of a quiet, shy person, and she just showed us that if you believe in something, you should be able to communicate it,” she said.

Stone joined forensics and debate, and the rest is history. She plans to major in political science, adding economics or Arabic minors, then graduate school.

Stone eventually wants to move to Washington, D.C., to become a political adviser or linguist for the State Department. She says most of her activities in school have focused on this kind of work.

“It’s all kind of converging on one point,” she said.

Marshall Thurman

In sixth grade, Marshall Thurman won the lead in a school play. That was when his passion started.

“It wasn’t anything serious, but I took it to heart,” he said.

After a number of school and community productions, Thurman has auditioned for conservatory theater programs around the country.

He hopes to go to school in a big city like Chicago or New York City after living in Lawrence his whole life.

“I love Lawrence, but I’m just looking for something different,” he said.

Thurman is ready to Thurman focus in on his passion at a school where multiple acting courses are offered, where he’s sure to make an impression. It’s something he does even here.

“I like to stand out. I don’t like to be noticed necessarily, but I like to make a deep impression,” he said.

He’s made an impression in the school’s forensics team, for which he earned the most points his junior year. He likes the competitive aspect.

“It’s an actor’s sport,” he said.

Long term, Thurman hopes to be able to get steady work and to be able to choose between theater acting and movie acting.

His family hopes he reaches that goal, which will start with moving away for school.

“They’re sad to see me go but happy to

see me doing something I love,” he said.

Ann Wallsmith

Ann Wallsmith gets to play Quidditch at school this year. For all the Harry Potter fans out there, she says it’s actually quite a workout. The activity is for the Harry Potter Club at her school, which has about 30 members.

Wallsmith and her friends started the club, which meets once per month.

They bonded over the books, which had played a big part in their lives.

“It might sound a little dweeby, but it’s helped a Wallsmith couple of us through some tough times,” she said.

Wallsmith loves to read, and she loves J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy,

which she tries to read every year. She said her dad taught her how to read when she was only 3.

“I remember him making flash cards,” she said.

Many of the things she loves now came at the suggestion of her elders. Her middle school band director asked if she wanted to play bassoon, which is now part of the large range of instruments she plays: clarinet, bass guitar and piano.

A teacher also pushed her toward engineering, which she hopes to go into after college. She was hesitant at first, but after attending an event at Kansas University on women in engineering she realized the possibilities in engineering were endless. After earning a chemical engineering degree and going to graduate school, she hopes to improve or design medicines.

“Sappy as it sounds, I want it to mean something. I want to help someone,” she said.

TEN YEARS LATER

What are they doing now?

A look at the Academic All-Stars from 2001

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Some are still in school. Others are working in their chosen careers — some envisioned since high school, others discovered through a life journey through college and beyond.

All are Academic All-Stars alumni, these 11 exceptional students who earned the Journal-World honor a decade ago and have since managed to make their marks here at home and elsewhere.

Here’s a look at the 2001 Academic All-Star class — then and now — and the advice they have for those that are just now following in their footsteps:

Leah (Cummings) Collins

Then: As a student at Lawrence High School, she recorded a 3.92 GPA, a 32 on the ACT, volunteered at Douglas County Hospice, served as a camp counselor, spoke to student groups such as Students Teaching About Tobacco and Every Seventeen Minutes, and enjoyed musical performances as she planned to attend Kansas University to study journalism, business, political science and Spanish. “I want to be in public relations and end up working anywhere they have Broadway productions,” she said at the time.

Now: She’s a strategic adviser for Grizzard Communications in Atlanta, Ga., where she works as a fundraising consultant with 15 independent Collins humane societies and chapters of the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals — traveling to their locations throughout the country, from southern California to New Hampshire.

Leah married Brian Collins, another LHS alumnus, last year on the KU campus. They started dating during their junior years at KU, while studying abroad in Italy. She received her bachelor’s degree in journalism (strategic communications) from KU, and a master’s degree in political management (fundraising and nonprofits) at George Washington University.

“Someday I would love to work for KU Endowment,” she said.

Advice: “Don’t hurry through undergrad. Take your time and enjoy a full four — or five — years. You’ll miss that time of your life later.

(And) pick a practical degree that will afford you a good career with set daytime hours — think pharmacy or ophthalmology, not pre-med.”

Lauren Gantz

Then: At Perry-Lecompton High School, Lauren played flute in band, sang in the select choir, served as a manager for the softball team, participated in Students Against Drunk Driving, was a member of the National Honor Society, participated in 4-H, played guitar, wrote poetry and planned to attend Emporia State University to major in communications or music, and to become either a journalist or a music teacher.

“I’m just glad ... I was involved in a variety of activities to f ind out what I like and what I didn’t like,” she said at the time. “It will help Gantz me down the road.”

Now: She’s working on a doctorate in English at the University of Texas at Austin, having already earned a bachelor’s in English at Emporia State and a master’s in English at Ohio University. Her dissertation involves literature written

by Caribbean natives or their firstgeneration descendants who have come to the United States.

Lauren speaks Spanish, has traveled to Puerto Rico and other exotic locales for conferences, and looks to land a tenure-track position at a university where she can teach and publish.

Advice: “Looking back, if I could tell myself anything, the main thing I’d say is, ‘It’s OK not to know where you’re going.’ A lot of times the most rewarding things aren’t ones you go out seeking: They’re things that you happen upon, or they happen upon you. Try a lot of things and find what you like — and worry less.”

Jeremy Glen Immer

Then: At Eudora High School, Jeremy served as senior class president, participated in blood drives, volunteered through Kids Voting and worked on the student newspaper as a photojournalist while earn-

ing a 3.9 GPA and scoring 34 on his ACT, and planned to major in chemical engineering at KU. Now: He’s a senior research engineer at Air Products in Allentown, Pa., and is married with a 3-year-old daughter and a baby on the way. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, with an emphasis in petroleum engineering, at KU, and received master’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering at North Carolina Immer State University.

Advice: “It’s cliché, but I would recommend working/studying in an area that one enjoys. I found math and science courses in high school came very naturally and were enjoyable, so it isn’t too surprising that I really enjoy my work — both in college and in the workforce, since I went into a field heavy in science and math.

Enjoying my work not only makes it easier to apply myself in my studies and job, but it also leaves me relatively stress-free, so I still have energy after work. That lets me enjoy life more and be a better husband and father than I could if I was stressed out.”

Tristan Moody

Then: At Free State High School, Tristan played piano, played percussion in marching band and sang in choral groups while posting a GPA of 3.94 and an ACT score of 33 — earning a National Merit scholarship and a School of Engineering scholarship from KU, where he planned to study aerospace engineering.

Now: He’s married to the former Krista Miller — they’d met while traveling the country playing in a drum corps — and he’s still in school at KU, working on a doctorate in mechanical engineering, having already earned the master’s and bachelor’s versions earlier on campus. His latest work: com- Moody puter simulations of fluid flow, akin to the effects of shockwaves on spacecraft and other supersonic aircraft.

He figures he’ll seek a faculty position somewhere or find a company that is into “blue sky research” once he finishes his doctorate later this year. But for now he’s busy feeding simulations into a computer stack of 31 servers.

“It’s not done for a day or two,” he said. “It’s like baking cookies when you don’t know the recipe, and the oven takes two days to bake them.”

Advice: “Learn to take charge of your education. You’ll be told to do this and told to do that, and you’ll take classes that are good and you’ll take classes that aren’t so good.

Learning to tell the difference is key. ... Find something you like doing, because you don’t want to go all the way through and get to be almost done and then realize you hate what you’ve gotten your degree in. I’ve seen that happen too many times.”

Amanda (Leach) Sweet

Then: At De Soto High School, she secured a 4.0 GPA and a 29 on her ACT as she participated in yearbook, cheerleading, Girls State, theater and forensics — and enjoyed her math classes, including calculus, so much that it helped shape plans to attend Baker University to earn a degree in secondary education.

“I’m one of the people in the class who really understands calculus, so sometimes my teacher, Dwight Spencer, says I should be the one teaching the class,” she said back then.

Now: Having indeed earned a bachelor’s degree at Baker — in English — Amanda is back in familiar surroundings: She teaches freshman English at her high school alma mater.

“I actually teach in the same room that I took junior Honors English in,” she said, with a laugh.

“It’s pretty interesting. Bonnie Montgall was the teacher. She’s retired now. But I learned a lot from her and my other teachers at De Soto that I use today.”

Amanda got married in 2007 to Josh Sweet, and they live in Olathe.

She plans to finish up a master’s degree soon, so that she can “continue my education while I educate others,” she said.

“I really enjoy what I do and am glad that I picked something I was sure of and passionate about,” she said. “I really enjoy going to work every day.”

Advice: “Just make sure that

when you’re deciding what to do with your life, that it’s something you care about.”

Jeff Taylor

Then: As a student at Wellsville High School, Jeff participated in pole vault, ran cross country and was active in church youth groups and mission trips. He also enjoyed physics, and helped design smallscale bridges out of pasta and balsa wood — all as he earned placement in the engineering honors program at Kansas State University, where he planned to study mechanical engineering.

Now: Taylor is a mechanical engineer at Garmin, working on automotive navigation products after having earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2007 at K-State. He’d originally participated in the school’s airway science program — many graduates typically go on to be airline pilots — but switched into mechanical engineering after two years.

“I realized the lifestyle of a pilot wasn’t for me,” he said. “But I’ve got my pilot’s license and everything, so I can still fly.”

In 2009 he married Emily Johnson, who also went to Wellsville High School. They’d known each other through church. Now they have a 1-year-old daughter, Nora, and the family lives in Wellsville.

“The job’s great,” he said. “I really love it. And it’s nice to be in the area I grew up in and to be close to family.”

Advice: “When making choices, don’t be afraid to take chances.

Switching over (from airway science to mechanical engineering) was a challenge. I wasn’t sure it was the right decision, but it worked out in the end.”

Amy (Runnebaum) VanDorn

Then: At Santa Fe Trail High School, Amy’s activities included softball, dance team, National Honor Society and Kansas Association for Youth. While earning a 4.0 GPA and becoming class valedictorian, she fostered an interest in chemistry that made her want to pursue a chemistry degree at Kansas State University.

Now: Amy is in her seventh year as a math teacher at Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School in Wichita, after having earned a bachelor’s degree in math education — not chemistry — in 2004 at K-State. VanDorn She’s coached softball and cheerleaders and been adviser for Student Council.

She married Jeffrey VanDorn, an aerospace engineer for Dassault Falcon, in 2009, and they’re planning a move to Little Rock, Ark., where Amy already has secured a job to teach ninth-grade math in nearby Benton.

The VanDorns have a 5-monthold boy, Cyrus. The boy’s first name is in honor of “Cy the Cyclone” at Jeffrey’s alma mater, Iowa State.

“His middle name’s William, for Willie the Wildcat,” Amy said.

Advice: “Don’t feel bad if you change your major. You learn so much about yourself in that first, even, semester, that you shouldn’t feel bad. You find new interests, and meet new people and get led on so many different paths that you couldn’t imagine.”

Darren Welch

Then: At Tonganoxie High School, Welch competed in debate and forensics — twice winning state debate titles — while participating in math club, art club, on the Knowl-

edge Bowl team and in theater productions. He earned a 4.0 GPA and a 34 on the ACT, securing a full-ride scholarship to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, where he planned to study engineering and someday become a nuclear engineer and conduct research at a topflight institution such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

“Math and science will always be two of my passions in my life,” he said at the time. “I would like to give something back to the community and become successful.”

Now: Darren is a chemist with the Kansas Department of Agriculture in Topeka, working in a lab at Forbes Field, where he analyzes feeds and fertilizers both to assure that they don’t contain toxins, molds, heavy metals or other problematic materials, and to assure that certain products contain the ingredients — such as nitrogen, sulfur, potash and others — that companies say they do.

He’s a 2007 graduate of Kansas University, with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry after having left Illinois Tech after a year and a half.

“I went through a phase where I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” he said. “I was a chemical engineering major, then political science, then philosophy, then back to chemistry.”

He served as a research assistant in KU’s geochemistry lab until December 2009, and he still lives in Lawrence.

Advice: “Never give up … be open, and always be looking for the next opportunity, because you never know exactly where your life is going to take you. Even if your plans change over time, that’s fine.

“When you graduate high school, it seems like you may have everything figured out — and know exactly where you’re going to go in life — but a lot of change can happen. Be prepared to change and adapt, because you never know where your life is going to take you.”

He paused.

“I haven’t lost my penchant for wordiness. Things don’t change that much.”

Diana (Jordan) Wiard

Then: At Lawrence High School, Diana earned a 4.0 GPA, a 32 on her ACT, recognition as a National Merit finalist and membership in the National Honor Society. She also participated in orchestra choir, band, student council, Fellowship of Christian Students, and aviation and French clubs, and left LHS to attend Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., with plans to become an English teacher in the mold of Lynne Renick, her English teacher at Southwest Junior High School.

“We had great discussions in class,” Diana said back then. “It was Wiard great.”

Now: Diana is a stay-at-home mom in Austin, Texas.

She and her husband, Brett Wiard, an IT manager, are the proud parents of an adopted daughter, 1-yearold Hannah.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in English at Southwest Baptist in 2005, she taught preschool and enjoyed it. Now she stays active in their church, where she is organizing an adoption and foster care support group.

She laughs recalling the sewing class she took to fill hours during her second semester of her senior year at LHS. “I still use that class,” she said.

“Out of all my high school classes, that was the most useful.”

Advice: “Don’t take yourself too seriously. In a lot of ways, high school is just a beginning, and if you

get too focused on it, you kind of lose perspective about the rest of your life. High school is just the beginning. There is a lot more than that.”

Jay Wiesner

Then: At Lawrence High School, Jay was a team player: an honorable mention All-Sunflower League offensive lineman for the varsity football team, a member of the scholars’ bowl team, and co-captain of the state champion High Q team.

He planned to play football at Grinnell College in Iowa and, looking ahead, he could foresee earning master’s and doctoral degrees in history — possibly at the University of Chicago — so that he could teach history in college.

“At that level,” he said at the time, “kids are really choosing to be there.”

Now: Jay is working on his master’s degree in American history, following up on the master’s degree in education he’d earned this past summer at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., which in turn followed the bachelor’s degree in history he’d earned at Grinnell.

He’s married to Erin Suffron, a classmate at LHS, who is a physician assistant. They live in Overland Park, as they decide where to go next. Jay’s still interested in pursuing a doctorate, and then gearing up for a career in education: working with youth groups, teaching at a community college or possibly even starting his own school.

“I’m keeping my options open,” he said.

Advice: “I’ll tell you what I wish I would have told myself: You just spent the last four years working yourself to death to get good grades, extracurriculars, teacher recommendations — everything you’re supposed to do to get into a good college — and now you’re there.

Enjoy it. Have some fun and just take a couple classes you’re not sure you’re interested in, so you can expand your horizons, because you never know what you’re going to find you actually love to do.”

Joyia (Chadwick) Yorgey

Then: At Free State High School, Joyia posted a 4.0 GPA and scored 32 on her ACT, earning recognition as a National Merit finalist, and made plenty of music with her voice and flute. She also competed in volleyball, basketball and track, and was offered a volleyball scholarship at the University of Nevada at Reno.

She would choose, instead, to attend Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., to give her a better shot of working overseas as a diplomat or representing some international organization.

“I could pursue volleyball or challenge myself with academics,” she said, at the time. “In the end, I chose academics.”

Now: Joyia is a policy researcher at Solutions for Progress, a public policy and technology company in Philadelphia that works to “improve the lot of low- to moderate-income families in Pennsylvania and across the country,” she said, by helping people connect with resources for paying taxes and receiving services such as food stamps and health insurance.

She also manages a volunteer taxpreparation site in downtown Philadelphia, one with 175 volunteers who already have assisted on 1,500 of an estimated 3,000 returns for this tax season.

Her husband, Brent Yorgey, is pursuing his doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania.

Joyia earned a bachelor’s degree in math at Williams, in 2005, where she also played volleyball and competed in track. She followed that with a master’s degree in international politics from American University in Washington, D.C., in 2008.

Oh, and she manages to play volleyball in a women’s club team.

“I feel like my life has been on an upward trajectory,” Joyia said. “I don’t reminisce about the good old times in high school or college, even. They were great, but each new step has been exciting, and I continue to look forward to the new things that life brings.”

Advice: “This is partly reflecting on my own anguish in choosing a college to go to. These students will be right in the middle of that same process right now: “The choices that you make right out of high school, while important, they’re not going to define your life for the rest of your life. I studied math, and then I said, ‘I want to study politics.’ You have that option.

You’re not boxed in.

“You can go to KU and then go to Harvard for graduate school. Just because you don’t go to Harvard for your bachelor’s doesn’t mean you can’t be successful.”

Candidates CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

But there’s also a project that’s not happening and that creates a lot of talk, too. The Lawrence Community Shelter had hoped to be on its way to moving from its downtown location at 10th and Kentucky streets to a new site near the Douglas County Jail. But a recent court ruling in Douglas County District Court has dashed those plans and has sent shelter and City Hall leaders trying to figure out what is next.

The topic is sure to be one that the next commission will consider. Here’s a look at what the f ive candidates vying for three seats on the Lawrence City Commission are saying about the shelter issue and other downtown topics.

Sven Alstrom Like the rest of the candidates in the field, Alstrom, a Lawrence architect, said he doesn’t think the shelter’s current location is a good one. Shelter leaders also have conceded that.

But Alstrom is the only candidate in the field who said he would consider keeping it in downtown if an appropriate site were found.

Alstrom also is the candidate who most often has suggested that the shelter should be split into two separate locations: one for homeless families with children and another for those without.

“I think separating the children from the ne’er-doAlstrom wells is a good idea,” Alstrom said.

He also said the city and the shelter need to be open to locations they haven’t yet explored. He said he would want to explore whether there is a closed or partially closed school that could be used to serve as a shelter.

On other issues, Alstrom: ● Would insist on the city being paid fair market value for any city parking lots that developers may want to redevelop. He also wants any redevelopments to provide at least the same number of public spots as are available currently. ● Wants to study ways to provide incentives, such as tax rebates, for downtown property owners to divide their buildings and create smaller retail spaces that could be accessed from the alleys of downtown. He said the smaller back-room shops could serve as low cost startup locations for retailers and would provide the city an incentive to clean up the alleys. ● Is open to the idea of adding another level of parking to the proposed parking garage for the Lawrence Public Library and also would consider adding a transit hub to the project. But he said his support for both items would hinge on further cost estimates and design issues. ● Would support the city taking over ownership of the Santa Fe Depot building just east of downtown even if the city isn’t able to acquire grant money to pay for about $600,000 worth of needed repairs.

“It is a lot less risk and exposure than the Farmland site,” Alstrom said, referring to a cleanup project the city has undertaken at a former fertilizer plant on the east side of town. “And this a project connected to transportation. With gas prices entering a whole new era, how much longer will it be before we have to start taking the train more?”

Hugh Carter Carter, a Lawrence financial adviser, believes the city needs to use its permitting process for the homeless shelter to ensure that it stays motivated to move from its current location. City com-

LAWRENCE missioners last Tuesday agreed to extend the shelter’s operating permit for a year to give shelter leaders more Carter time to look for a site. Carter said he would have lobbied for a shorter extension.

“I might be inclined to go a little shorter than a year to hold their feet to the fire and make sure we’re getting some good reports on it,” Carter said.

Carter said he wants to create a sense of urgency for the project but said he’s not sure what additional steps the City Commission can take to help the shelter find a new site.

“I’m not sure what resources we have at our disposal to help them in this situation,” Carter said. “I know it is hard. There is not an island to put this on. It needs to be accessible to serve its purpose.”

On other issues, Carter: ● Said he would “welcome” the opportunity to review plans to redevelop downtown parking lots but said any proposal would have to ensure that the public doesn’t lose parking spaces in the deal. He said he would review incentive requests for such projects on a case-bycase basis. ● Would be hesitant to add parking to the proposed library garage, if it would cause the total cost of the library project to exceed $18 million. But he said he wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility. ● Wants more information about the Santa Fe Depot project but said he is not certain that he would be “willing to take the risk” of acquiring the property without first having grant money to rehabilitate it.

Mike Dever Dever, the owner of a Lawrence-based environmental consulting firm and the lone incumbent in the race, cast one of three votes on the current commission to extend the shelter’s operating permit for a year. He said he now wants to look at whether the city can become “more aggressive” in helping the Dever shelter find a new location.

“We have asked the shelter leaders to do what they can to find another site, and so far we’ve reached an impasse,” Dever said. “That may mean the city and the county will need to help them find a solution.”

Dever also was one of three to vote to increase the shelter’s year-round occupancy from 57 to 81. The shelter had been operating at the 81 level during the winter but was forced to use the smaller occupancy total during warm weather months.

“We have seen the shelter can operate at the increased occupancy,” Dever said. “The other option is for people to sleep wherever they can find a place to lie down, and I’m not convinced they are going to be able to find a place to sleep inside.”

On other issues, Dever: ● Said he wants more information about how any additional parking or a transit hub at the library project

would be funded before “we get too far along with it.” ● Is “open” to proposals from the private sector to redevelop city-owned parking lots because he believes increasing density and living units will be important to downtown’s future. But he would want at least the same number of public parking spaces to be provided in any new project. ● Said he would be cautious on offering incentives for downtown development.

He said he understands vertical construction can be more expensive, which might justify an incentive, but he also said the amenities that already exist downtown should be considered an incentive as well. ● Believes the Santa Fe Depot building has great potential but is concerned that working out a “graceful” transition of ownership of the building will be difficult.

Mike Machell Machell, a human resources manager for an Overland Park company, said he may have opted to renew the shelter’s permit for less than a year in order to create a “driving force” for the shelter to make progress on finding a new site. He also said he wants the city and the shelter to work closely together on the project but doesn’t believe the city should take over the Machell process.

“I definitely think the City Commission and the Planning Department need to partner on this, but I don’t know that it is the city’s responsibility to find the right spot for the shelter,” Machell said.

But he said he isn’t questioning the need for a shelter in the community.

“I don’t like to make value judgments on why people are homeless,” Machell said. “We are a caring community, and we want to do right by people. The problem is not going to go away. We need to address it, but downtown is not the right location.”

On other issues, Machell: ● Said he’s supportive of considering adding new parking and a transit hub to the library project because it likely would be cheaper to do it now than later. But Machell, who is the chairman of the city’s Library Board, said the review process would need to involve a lot of public input. ● Said he wants to develop a cost-benefit model to evaluate any future requests to redevelop city-owned parking lots. He said he would consider such projects if it could be clearly shown the city was “gaining more than it was giving.” ● Believes the city should not take over the Santa Fe Depot at this point. He said he likes the potential of the building but is concerned about taking over ownership of the building before grant money can be secured. He’s also concerned about possible environmental liability issues the city could be assuming.

“I think putting a lot of resources into the depot would be going down the wrong track right now,” Machell said.

Bob Schumm Schumm, a downtown restaurant owner and former

MORE THAN SHIRTS E WE’V D! 2201 Delaware St. • 785-842-1414 www.bluecollarpress.com MOVE

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD Lawrence mayor, said downtown is a “very poor f it” for a homeless shelter. He also said he thinks the city’s efforts Schumm to help the shelter find a new location haven’t always been up to par.

“The city can take more of a leadership role in helping the Lawrence Community Shelter,” Schumm said. “I think that has been lacking in the past. There has been friction between the city and the shelter at times. The responsibility of providing a shelter has fallen on the shelter’s shoulders, but it is really not their problem. It is a community problem.”

Schumm also said he wants to take another look to see if the legal issues surrounding the proposed site near the Douglas County Jail can be resolved.

On other issues, Schumm: ● Said he doesn’t think the library site is large enough to accommodate a possible transit hub, but he does want to explore ways to add more parking to the library project. ● Believes redevelopment of city parking lots could help downtown by increasing its density and number of living units.

Japan says radiation in milk, spinach near plant F U K U S H I M A , J A P A N ( AP ) — Japan announced the first signs that contamination from its tsunami-crippled nuclear complex has seeped into the food chain, saying that radiation levels in spinach and milk from farms near the facility exceeded government safety limits.

Japanese officials insisted that the small amounts of radiation — with traces also found in tap water in Tokyo — posed no immediate health threat, and said the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, while still unpredictable, appeared to be coming under control after nearconstant dousing of water to prevent spent fuel rods from burning up.

Emergency teams using an unmanned vehicle to spray water targeting the most atrisk of the plant’s six reactors launched a new round today — aimed at the plant’s Unit 4 — while preparing to switch power back on for the first time since a March 11 earth-

quake and tsunami knocked out the plant’s crucial cooling systems.

However, there was no guarantee the cooling systems would still work, even once power was restored.

Japan has been struggling with an overwhelming chain of disasters prompted by the 9.0-magnitude quake. The quake spawned a tsunami that ravaged Japan’s northeastern coast, killing more than 7,700 people and knocking out cooling systems at the plant, prompting overheated reactors and fuel to leak radiation.

More than 11,600 people are still missing, and more than 452,000 are living in shelters.

The government’s top spokesman, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, said at a news conference Saturday that tainted milk and spinach were collected from several farms ranging from 20 miles to 75 miles away from the reactors.

After the announcements, Japanese officials immediately tried to calm an already-jittery public, saying the amounts detected were so small that people would have to consume unimaginable amounts to endanger their health.

“Can you imagine eating one kilogram of spinach every day for one year?” said State Secretary of Health Minister Yoko Komiyama.

One kilogram is a little over two pounds.

Edano said someone drinking the tainted milk for one year would consume as much radiation as in a CT scan; for the spinach, it would be onefifth of a CT scan. A CT scan is a compressed series of Xrays used for medical tests.

Minuscule amounts of radioactive iodine also were found in tap water Friday in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan — although experts said none of those tests showed any health risks. The Health Ministry also said that radioac-

tive iodine slightly above government safety limits was found in drinking water at one point Thursday in a sampling from Fukushima prefecture, the site of the nuclear plant, but later tests showed the level had fallen again.

An expert in the United States also said the risk from the radiation levels in food appeared limited and urged calm.

“The most troubling thing to me is the fear that’s out of proportion to the risk,” said Dr. Henry Duval Royal, a radiologist at Washington University Medical School.

The areas where the spinach and milk were sampled are rich farm country also known for melons, rice and peaches, so the contamination could affect food supplies for large parts of Japan.

More tests were being done on other foods, Edano said, and if they show further contamination, then food shipments from the area would be halted.

Operation Odyssey Dawn Gadhafi, who has ruled Libya for 41 years, said in a telephone call to Libyan state TV that he was opening weapons depots to allow his people to arm themselves in defense.

He said the international action against his forces was unjustified, calling it “simply a colonial crusader aggression that may ignite another large-scale crusader war.”

He also said the U.N. Security Council and the international community were responsible for “stopping this unjust flagrant aggression against a sovereign country immediately.”

His regime also acted quickly in the run-up to the strikes, sending warplanes, tanks and troops into the eastern city of Benghazi, the rebel capital and first city to fall to the rebellion that began Feb. 15. Then the government attacks appeared to go silent.

Operation Odyssey Dawn, as the allied assault has been dubbed, followed an emer-

Libya The strikes, which were aimed at enforcing a U.N.mandated no-fly zone, were a sharp escalation in the international effort to stop Gadhafi after weeks of pleading by the rebels, who have seen early gains reversed as the regime unleashed the full force of its superior air power and weaponry.

President Barack Obama said military action was not his first choice and reiterated that he would not send American ground troops to Libya.

“This is not an outcome the U.S. or any of our partners sought,” Obama said from Brazil, where he is starting a five-day visit to Latin America. “We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy.”

Thousands of regime supporters, meanwhile, packed into the sprawling Bab alAziziya military camp in Tripoli where Gadhafi lives to protect against attacks.

Defense off icials cautioned it was too early to fully gauge the impact of the onslaught. But a senior U.S. defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the mission was ongoing, said the Americans believed Libya’s air defenses had been heavily damaged by the cruise missiles.

Explosions continued to rock the coastal cities, including Tripoli, where anti-aircraft guns could be heard firing overnight.

Libyan TV quoted the armed forces command as saying 48 people were killed and 150 wounded in the allied assault. It said most of the casualties were children but gave no more details.

The International Committee of the Red Cross said it was “deeply concerned” about civilians’ safety and called on all sides “to abide strictly by the rules and principles of international humanitarian law” by distinguishing between civilians and fighters and allowing safe access for humanitarian organizations.

A HUGE EXPLOSION IS SEEN over the outskirts of Benghazi after a warplane was shot down Saturday over Benghazi, eastern Libya. Explosions shook the Libyan city of Benghazi early on Saturday while a Libyan jet fighter was heard flying overhead, and residents said the eastern rebel stronghold was under attack from Muammar Gadhafi’s forces. gency summit in Paris during which the 22 leaders and top officials agreed to do everything necessary to make Gadhafi respect a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday calling for the no-fly zone and demanding a cease-f ire, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said.

“Our consensus was strong, and our resolve is clear. The people of Libya must be protected, and in the absence of an immediate end to the violence against civilians our coalition is prepared to act, and to act with urgency,” Obama said earlier.

Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, director of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, told reporters in Washington that U.S. ships and a British submarine had launched the first phase of a missile assault on Libyan air defenses to clear the way for the imposition of a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone over the North African country.

Gortney said the mission has two goals: prevent further attacks by Libyan forces on rebels and civilians, and degrade the Libyan military’s ability to contest a no-fly zone.

Mohammed Ali, a spokesman for the exiled opposition group the Libyan Salvation Front, said the Libyan air force headquarters at the Mateiga air base in eastern Tripoli and the Aviation Academy in Misrata had been targeted.

About 20 French fighter jets carried out “several strikes” earlier Saturday, military spokesman Thierry Burkhard told The Associated Press. He said earlier that one of the planes had fired the first shot against a Libyan military vehicle.

“All our planes have returned to base tonight,” he said, and denied a Libyan TV report that a French plane had been hit.

He would not elaborate on what was hit or where, but said French forces are focusing on the Benghazi area and U.S. forces are focused in the west.

The U.S. has struck Libya before. Former President Reagan launched U.S. airstrikes on Libya in 1986 after a bombing at a Berlin disco — which the U.S. blamed on Libya — that killed three people, including two American soldiers. The airstrikes killed about 100 people in Libya, including Gadhaf i’s young adopted daughter at his Tripoli compound.

Libyan regime off icial Mohammed al-Zwei said a large number of civilians were injured when several civilian and military sites in the capital, Tripoli, and the nearby city of Misrata were hit. He also reiterated the Libyan allegation that the rebels were linked to alQaida. There was no way to independently verify the claims.

Statehouse rally protests GOP-run government

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Dozens of people marched Saturday to the Kansas Statehouse to protest potential budget cuts and other policies pursued by Gov. Sam Brownback and fellow Republicans who dominate state government.

Their protests initially were inspired by Brownback’s proposal to move the Kansas Human Rights Commission, an independent agency, under the attorney general’s office.

But the governor dropped the plan earlier this week, and speakers at the rally touched on a wide range of issues, including immigration, abortion rights and protection from employment discrimination for gays and lesbians.

Organizers described their events as a civil rights march and rally. The groups involved included the state chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and National Organization for Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, the League of Women Voters and the gay rights group Kansas Equality Coalition.

“We are standing together,” said the Rev. Ben Scott, president of NAACP’s Topeka chapter. “This is one time we will stand up against the enemies that try to hold us back, because we realize we’ve come too far to turn around now.”

Organizers originally had hoped that hundreds of people would converge on the Statehouse, but the day was cool and overcast, and showers had been forecast. Thunder punctuated the speeches and chanting, and a light rain pelted participants as the rally drew to a close.

Rally participants criticized Brownback’s plan to close a budget shortfall because it includes a 6 percent cut in the state’s base aid to its schools. They also tried to paint Brownback and many Republican legislators as conservative extremists who are attacking the rights of workers, women and immigrants.

Education engine A new study helps quantify the impressive contribution of higher education to the state.

H

igher education leaders in Kansas often allude to the economic value the state’s universities, community colleges and vocational-technical schools bring to the state. Now they have some numbers to support that claim.

According to a study released last week by the Kansas Board of Regents, every dollar in state tax support to higher education results in $11.94 in economic activity in the state. That includes everything from meals and T-shirts sold to university visitors to the jobs created by new high-tech firms.

Breaking the figures down a little more, in 2010, the Board of Regents system produced about $3.4 billion in wages and salary impacts, 95,327 additional jobs and $485 million in state and local tax collections. The total overall impact of the state’s higher education institutions was $7.3 billion.

It’s an impressive number, one that higher education officials hope will get the attention of state lawmakers.

The figures that might be most impressive to those making the state’s budget decisions are those that directly tie public higher education to economic development in Kansas.

People with more education and training fill higher-paying jobs and pay more state and local taxes.

In turn those workers help support highly prized high-tech industry in the state. According to the study, between 2000 and 2008, Kansas counties that include a state university gained 13.7 high-tech firms per 100,000 residents. Those with community and technical colleges gained 2.8 firms per 100,000 residents.

The Kansas University Cancer Center was used as an example of how institutions drive development of high-tech firms in the surrounding area. In addition to as many as 9,400 permanent jobs the center expects to create in 10 years, the center will drive construction activities and other benefits.

The study also looks at what higher education institutions contribute to the state’s quality of life. It showed how communities with a Regents institution are much more likely to maintain or increase their population levels and how arts and humanities programs, business seminars and other programs enhance the quality of life in the state. It also puts a dollar amount on the volunteer services contributed by faculty, state and students in counties that are home to a regents school.

One down side to the study is that it seems to confirm the have and have-not divide between communities that have a state university, community college or technical school and those that do not. Counties with a regents school tend to maintain their population and reap the benefits of increased economic activity and volunteer participation, while other counties continue to fall behind.

The challenge of those trying to use these figures to boost support for higher education in the state is to convince lawmakers that the economic and quality-of-life benefits that seem to cluster around university and community college communities also benefit the state as a whole. It’s obvious, for example, that without the economic activity tied to higher education in the state, the financial challenges now facing the state would be far greater.

The ability of higher education officials to make that connection in lawmakers’ minds is vital to higher education funding prospects, as well as the future of rural Kansas.

U.S. naval strategist may inspire Chinese NEWPORT , R.I. — When some Chinese naval officers crossed the Pacific to visit the Naval War College here on an Atlanticlapped island, they gazed reverently at a desk used by Capt.

Alfred Thayer Mahan (18401914). This compliment to America’s pre-eminent naval strategist has scholars here wondering whether Mahan’s Chinese readers are taking from him lessons similar to those Theodore Roosevelt derived.

How could they not? Mahan did not make TR bellicose; nature did that, immoderately.

But Mahan supplied a theory for Roosevelt’s metabolic urge to throw around his nation’s rapidly growing weight.

Mahan and Roosevelt met in 1887 when Mahan was president of the college and the future president — an amateur naval historian and general know-it-all — was a guest lecturer in his late 20s. From Mahan’s 1890 book “The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783” Roosevelt learned that a powerful navy is indispensable to a nation with great commercial interests and an interest in geopolitical greatness.

China certainly has the former.

Does it have the latter?

China may not forever be a “Blanche DuBois nation,” akin to the woman in “A Streetcar Named Desire” who said, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Today, Americans are the strangers. Their Navy — “today’s naval hegemon,” in Chi-

George Will

is deploying “newChina submarines at an

impressive rate — three a year. They are suited to pushing back U.S. power projection in the Western Pacific.”

nese parlance — is the constabulary that patrols what Mahan called “the great common” — the ocean highways of the trade on which China’s growth, and hence its stability and geopolitical weight, depends.

America’s cheerful assumption has been that although its ships are not as numerous as they recently were — 286 now, down from 594 in 1987 — there actually is a 1,000-ship Navy. That comforting figure aggregates all the navies of nations that have no agendas beyond keeping the great common orderly.

China is deploying new submarines at an impressive rate — three a year. They are suited to pushing back U.S. power projection in the western Pacif ic.

China’s much-discussed ballistic and cruise missiles also seem designed to keep U.S. surface forces far from China’s soil. And China seems increasingly inclined to define the oceans off its shores as extensions of the shores — territory to be owned and controlled like “blue national soil.” This concept is incompatible with the idea of the oceans as a “common.”

This includes the “near seas” — the Yellow, South China and East China Seas. But such “far seas” as the Indian Ocean also are crucial to China’s global commercial reach as a hyperactive importer and exporter. Disciples of Mahan want a national capacity to protect their nation’s interests there.

In “Red Star Over the Pacific: China’s Rise and the Challenge to U.S. Maritime Strategy,” Toshi Yoshihara and James R. Holmes, both on the War College faculty, remind readers that Mahan defined “command of the sea” as “overbearing power on the sea.”

And that, he said, means power “which drives the enemy’s flag from it, or allows it to appear only as a fugitive; and which, by controlling the great common, closes the highways by which commerce moves to and fro from the enemy’s shores.”

When Mao reigned, say Yoshihara and Holmes, Mahan was “reviled” as “an apostle of imperialism and colonialism.” Now, they report, at major international conferences Chinese analysts have cited Mahan’s bellicose def-

inition of command of the sea to emphasize “the value of sea power for China.”

Even with its reduced numbers, the U.S. Navy may have such command — as long as no rival power covets command. But Mahan’s writings, say Yoshihara and Holmes, encourage “zerosum thinking.” In the Social Darwinian spirit of his day, Mahan wrote: “Growth is a property of healthful life” and implies a “right to insure by just means whatsoever contributes to national progress, and correlatively to combat injurious action taken by an outside agency, if the latter overpass its own lawful sphere.” Concerning China’s thinking about lawful spheres, see above: “blue national soil.”

Extraordinarily dependent on sea lanes because of what one Chinese intellectual calls its “outward-leaning economy,” and now largely free from land threats, China has the opportunity and incentive to project power beyond the Asian continent. In Mahan, it has an excuse.

In his Navy career, Mahan seemed to heed Gilbert and Sullivan’s advice in the 1878 operetta “H.M.S. Pinafore”: “Stick close to your desks and never go to sea/ And you all may be rulers of the Queen’s Navee!” Ships Mahan commanded tended to collide with ships and other things.

Ashore, however, he was a force to be reckoned with. It seems he still may be.

Focusing on facts can feel futile “Then the lie passed into history and became truth.” — 1984 by George Orwell This will be a futile column.

Experience dictates that it will change no minds, inspire no reconsideration among those who disagree. It will sit on the computer screen or the newspaper page taking up space, affecting nothing, until another column replaces it. It will be a useless essay, written for one reason only: to protect the writer’s mental health. If the writer did not write it, you see, there is a great danger his head would explode.

Last week, these things happened: 1. A reader named Drew wrote to dispute a contention, made in this space, that black kids are “funneled” into the criminal injustice system. I told Drew the claim is verif ied by simple math. For instance, in her book, “The New Jim Crow,” Michelle Alexander reports that white kids are a third more likely to have sold drugs than black kids. But in some states, blacks account for up to 90 percent of all drug offenders in prison.

To which Drew responded, “Maybe you can find stats about drugs, but ... ” 2. A reader named Jean wrote, “Did it ever occur to you that black men often choose the criminal path as their vocation because they see it as a get-rich-scheme that requires less work ethic ...?”

Whereupon, I made the argument again, this time citing a study cosponsored by the Justice Department. And Jean replied, “Now how many government studies do you

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

really believe?”

3. The Miami Herald published an editorial attacking Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s Cabinet for approving a measure that will make it more difficult for nonviolent felons who have served their time to regain their right to vote. Because Florida jails African-Americans in disproportionate numbers, argued the editorial, the proposal has unavoidable “racial and partisan implications.”

“This,” said the editorial, “will return Florida to the Jim Crow era, when such hurdles were created to prevent blacks from voting.”

To which “OnLine,” writing on the paper’s message board, shot back, “Don’t become a felon and you need not worry.”

And perhaps you can understand why the column feels futile.

“OnLine,” Jean and Drew would doubtless protest that they are not racist. Perish the thought. They would doubtless tell you they are simply being objective.

Which is funny, given the ease with which they bat aside objective fact. But then, that’s the state of critical thinking these days: ignore any inconvenient truth, any unset-

tling information that might force you to think or even look with new eyes upon, say, the edifice of justice. Accept only those “facts” that support what you already believe.

And on this subject, what many people already believe could not be clearer: black equals crime.

We’re talking about at the mitochondrial level. We’re talking a crime strand on the DNA. Black equals crime is a formulation as old as slave manacles and as modern as email, the engine driving lynch mobs and lawmen who sold black men into slavery as late as 1945, and cops who pull black drivers over because ... And the tragedy is not simply that many white men and women embrace this damnable lie in the face of all refutation, but that black children hear it and breathe it in like poison till it becomes part of them, till it informs how they see themselves in the world.

Some years ago, I posed a question to an audience of school kids.

If a white person is murdered, what are the odds the assailant is black?

Seventy-five percent? Hands — every hand in the room, it seemed — bolted into the air. Most of them belonged to black kids.

For the record, the actual number is 13.

Not that it matters. This is a futile column, remember? And when people are determined to believe a lie, there is nothing more futile than the truth.

To the editor: When Lew Perkins cut the faculty and staff discounts for tickets to Jayhawk games, he stated that perhaps the benefit might be reinstated at some future time. The 20 percent discount had been one of the few extra benefits enjoyed by active and retired faculty and staff at KU. Some had to stop attending Jayhawk games.

Perhaps taking away the discount during the time millions of dollars in tickets were being siphoned off by members of Perkins’ staff was necessary. Presuming tickets will now be sold for the benefit of the athletic department, perhaps now is that future time when increased funds from ticket sales will allow the new AD to reinstate faculty and staff discounts, allowing more of them to enjoy Jayhawk games in person.

The splendid gas range was early put in place and the articles needed to cook were secured. It is hardly worth while to describe what is taking place there. This evening after it is over the women will tell their neighbors about it and all the town will know exactly what happened as soon as this paper arrives.”

Bowl for Kids’ Sake aims to raise over $82K The annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake is just three weeks away.

It is the largest fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, which matches adult volunteers with children who tend to live in single-parent, low-income families.

The organization’s annual budget is between $350,000 and $400,000. Last year, Bowl for Kids’ Sake raised $82,000.

Cathy Brashler, executive director, hopes to top that.

To participate, just form a team of five or six members and then visit douglas.kintera.org or call Brashler at 843-7359.

Each team is encouraged to raise $750 to help serve one child for an entire year.

All money raised by bowlers goes toward supporting children.

Bowling will take place on three days, depending on your team, at Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa: ● April 8 — begins at 4 p.m. for office teams. ● April 16 — 2 p.m.-6 p.m. for community teams. ● May 1 — 1 p.m. for bar and restaurant teams.

Adam Lee and the Dead Horse Sound Company The Replay Lounge, 946 Mass., welcomes Kansas City rockabilly/country crooner Adam Lee and the Dead Horse Sound Company for an early show that's sure to delight anyone who appreciates a deep baritone, a steel guitar and songs that seem relevant and dated at the same time. Kansas City cohort Little Rachel opens the show. She traffics in 1950s R&B and has a disarmingly powerful voice, especially given her 5-foot frame. St. Louis’ Rum Drum Ramblers are caught in the middle. Their blues-inspired rock 'n' roll belongs in a roadhouse or a dark bar, like, say, the Replay. The show starts at 6 p.m.

Spring has sprung, and with it comes the 31st annual Lawrence Art Auction at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. As the arts center’s primary source of funding, the auction features a silent auction that culminates with a full-fledged auction April 9.

For those eager to get their hands on a local masterpiece, it’s possible now through the night of the event to bid on any of the approximately 120 pieces featured in the auction.

Ben Ahlvers, exhibitions director for the center, says the auction, which features photographs, paintings, ceramics, jewelry, drawings, sculptures and more, is important to both the local arts community and the center. Artists featured will be from the area, regionally based, and from across the nation. Additionally, artists have the option to donate the entirety of the winning bid to the arts center or keep 25 percent of the bid for themselves.

“This is huge,” Ahlvers says. “We’re putting a lot of eggs into this basket.

Historically, the community has stepped up and attended this and purchased art. It’s a lot of logistical work, but it’s worth it.”

Ahlvers says his goal for the show this year is to sell each of the 150 available pieces at its market value or higher.

“It can be done, I think,” he says.

“This is not a traditional auction, in that people are going for deals and steals. This is a benefit auction, so it’s kind of a mixed bag. Last year we reached 82 percent of the retail value of the artwork, which was an

On the heels of his “Shadows of Minidoka” exhibit that was hosted at the arts center, the work of local artist and KU professor Roger Shimomura will be featured at the auction.

He is donating eight pieces, which then will be auctioned off in a unique manner. All eight paintings will be Please see AUCTION, page 2C

Boomer getting a grip on new lead time to restroom T

here was a time when I could wait.

I remember — it wasn’t that long ago, really — I could shop for hours on end without a single pit stop.

I once consumed an entire Route 44 Diet Coke and sat through “Gone With the Wind” with nary a nod in the direction of the bathroom.

In 2002, I rode shotgun from Lawrence to Hays in a minivan with bad shocks, after two large cups of McDonald’s coffee, without uttering the words: “Rest area, one mile!” My husband still refers to that trip as the Memorial Day Miracle.

There was a time when holding it was an option. I could fend off nature’s call indefinitely or, at

least, until a moment more convenient for me. Not anymore.

These days, my life is a 24-hour loop of every Detrol commercial ever made: “Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now … gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!”

That’s me: The panic-stricken middle-aged female cop, directing traffic in a busy intersection, her mind obsessed with the impending implosion of her bulging bladder.

That’s me, too: The 50-something lady juror with a look of horror in her eyes, begging the bailiff to be excused from the courtroom, so she can “Go right NOW.” I used to laugh mockingly at those ads. Those days are down the drain.

Lately, anywhere I go — bistro, bank, eco-boutique — my first order of business is to locate the restroom and calculate the time it will take me to reach its door.

(Note to shop owners: No public potty, no patronage. A john-less joint is no place for a woman with urinary stress. I don’t care how

cute those sandals are, or that I just got paid.)

Desperate times call for desperate measures. (Am I right, ladies?)

It may sound shocking but, in busy restaurants, I will not hesitate to use the “Cabelleros” room if the “Damas” is ocupado, especially after a couple margaritas. Let the chips and salsa fall where they may.

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go immediatamente!

Recently, I got a new job. My office is pleasant and spacious with a floor-to-ceiling window affording a lovely view of hardbodied construction workers next door. What’s not to love, right?

There’s just one problem: The restroom is one level down and is kept under lock and key. (Or so I

thought.) I suppose my mind was wandering during orientation, so when I found myself on Day One standing in front of the restroom door — desperate to “go right NOW” — I was dismayed to discover the small brass key I held in my hand was useless for the COMBINATION LOCK before me!

Pressing my thighs together, my feet pigeon-toed, I climbed the stairs, crying, “Must ... get … combination ... from the drawer” while a chorus of “Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now” played in my head.

And that’s the kicker, my uninitiated friends. The “urge” isn’t just a physical one. It is 65 percent mental.

Now that we shoot video, some of us carry microphones and other video gear. Most of this fits into a medium-sized camera bag and is fairly light on the shoulder.

For NCAA Tournament time, we have to up our game. Here’s some of the gear staff photographer Nick Krug and I are wheeling to the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., to cover the KU men’s games: ● A dozen rechargeable camera batteries ● Nine lenses ● Seven camera bodies ● Six battery chargers ● Four memory card readers ● Four tripods and camera mounting clamps ● Three camera remote

ARTS NOTES KU announces scholarship concert Kansas University’s School of Music is pleased to present the first annual School of Music Scholarship Concert, featuring the KU Symphony Orchestra and Choirs performing Mendelssohn’s “Elijah.” The concert will be at 7:30 p.m.

March 29 at the Lied Center.

Robert Walzel, the School of Music dean, believes this inaugural event will raise awareness for scholarship needs for music students at KU. “Scholarships for talented music students are the life blood of any great music school,” said Dean Walzel. “In addition to highlighting the ever-increasing need for scholarship funds, we want to honor those individuals who so graciously support KU students through music scholarships.”

The KU Symphony Orchestra and Choirs will perform Felix Mendelssohn’s oratorio “Elijah,” featuring vocal solos by KU students Charles Martinez, Madison Mikenna, Kelly Elise Smith and Kristee Haney. KU doctoral student Robert McNichols will be featured in the title role. The performance will be conducted by Paul Tucker, KU Director of Choral Activities.

With a valid ID, entry to the performance is free for KU students and Lawrence area high school students. General admission tickets are $7, and tickets for senior citizens are $5.

Baker University to host Bible series BALDWIN CITY — Baker University will be host to the King James Bible Lectures at the Quayle Bible Collection’s Urishay Castle Room in the south wing of the Collins Library, 518 Eighth St., on the Baldwin City campus.

The lectures are held in conjunction with the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, which was completed in 1611. Admission is free.

Here is the schedule of the lectures: ● 7 p.m. March 29: “The Hampton Court Conference,” Ralph Tanner, emeritus president, Baker University. Baker’s Chamber Choir will perform English Renaissance music before the lecture. ● 7:30 p.m. April 19: “The King James Version: 1611-2011,” Paul Mirecki, associate professor of religious studies at Kansas University. ● 7:30 p.m. May 3: “King James: Mover and Author,” David Bergeron, emeritus professor of English at KU. An exhibit, “400 Years of the King James Bible,” is on display through July 2011 at the Quayle Bible Collection. The Quayle collection owns several examples of the King James Bible, including two copies from 1611.

The exhibit traces its ancestry from early handwritten manuscripts in Latin through translations into middle and modern English that led up to the King James translation.

firing devices ● Two laptop computers ● Two floor stools ● One digital audio recorder ● One bottle of ibuprofen All this gear barely fits into two camera bags, a backpack and two large cases on wheels. That’s how we roll.

You might think it’s overkill on gear but here’s how it gets used.

At game time, we sit on the floor, along the baseline at opposite ends of the court. When action is at our end, we use the camera with the wide-angle or mediumtelephoto lens. When action is at the opposite end we shoot with the telephoto.

On the floor in front of us is a third camera body on a small tripod with a wideangle lens. This camera is triggered with a wireless remote device connected to the camera in our hands. As you follow the action and take a photograph with the camera in your hand, the remote camera fires simultaneously. This provides two angles of view for one play. In addition, Nick will often set up a third remote camera. At the BOK Center, he has one placed under a courtside table, directly across from the KU bench.

It provides a wide, side view of the court that would otherwise be inaccessible to a photographer.

Hauling all this gear to and from the arena, through security checks and then setting it up is both stressful and time-consuming. Photographing the game is a breeze. Dealing with all the gear is a headache. Now where did I put that ibuprofen?

“They’re all $12,000 paintings. What we’re hoping for is, in the live auction, we’ll have bidders bidding, and no one will know who’s bidding on what piece. It’s about choice — they’re all the same value, so there’s no discrepancies there. Hopefully we’ll get as close to, or higher, to the retail value as possible,” Ahlvers says.

Women recount freedom movement of the ‘60s

By Cassandra Spratling McClatchy Newspapers

Andy Anderson, bookseller, Lawrence “’A Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England’ by Ian Mortimer. It’s about daily life in medieval England from a modern person’s perspective, down to even what you’d smell.”

Aubin Murphy, sixth-grader, Lawrence “’Witch of Blackbird Pond’ by Elizabeth Speare. It’s about the Salem Witch Trials and a 14-year-old girl who comes to America.”

Justin Hill, business owner, Lawrence “’Washington’s Crossing’ by David Hackett Fischer. It’s about George Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776.”

A restlessness in her soul wouldn’t let Gloria House be.

She was a graduate student in 1963 studying French at the University of California at Berkeley.

But how could she study when four little black girls were blown to bits by dynamite that tore through their Birmingham, Ala., church? And when the bodies of three boys — two white, one black — who’d gone south to help black people, were found buried on a Mississippi farm?

Those incidents and other examples of racial injustice called House to go to the Deep South in 1965. She planned to go just for the summer to help teach black people to read and to register to vote. But while she was there, a fellow freedom fighter, a white seminarian, was shot and killed right before her eyes.

“Being a graduate student seemed insignificant compared to a life and death struggle,” says House, now in her 60s and living in Detroit. Within a week of returning to school, House was back in Alabama where she worked until 1967 organizing, teaching and protesting as a part of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

House’s story is one of 52 featured in the new book “Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC” (University of Illinois Press, $34.95). The book is edited by six women, including Martha Prescod Norman Noonan, an activist and history teacher. In sometimes frightening, occasionally humorous and often inspiring accounts, the women featured in “Freedom Plow” tell of the varied and valued roles they played, registering people to vote, organizing and running meetings and teaching in the face of fear.

“A great deal of the existing history has highlighted the roles of men,” says Noonan, who was an 18-year-old University of Michigan sophomore when she first went south in 1963. “Women played key roles and that needs to be recognized.”

Among the women featured in the book are Denise Nicholas, whose successful acting career began when she performed as a part of the freedom struggle in Mississippi in 1964; Jean Wiley, a retired educator and journalist who went to Alabama in the summer of 1964 after completing her master’s degree at the University of Michigan; Marilyn Lowen, a poet now living in New York, and Gwen Patton, a retired archivist who now lives in Montgomery, Ala. The women were drawn to different places in the Deep South in the 1960s, but they shared a passion and commitment that helped them weather daily dangers. Each one says their involvement not only changed the country, it shaped who they became and it created a bond that connects them still.

“What we did changed the course of American history,” says Nicholas, who also was a U-M

student in 1964 when she decided to go to Mississippi. She took a series of trains alone from Ann Arbor and signed up to help on the just-beginning Free Southern Theater project, an effort to entertain, educate and reflect the Southern condition. She offered to help read and critique scripts, but the group said it needed her to act.

The theater company toured small towns throughout the region, eventually settling in New Orleans, often performing in cotton fields and churches and community centers in the black section of town while armed townsmen stood guard on porches to protect them.

“People were very responsive to seeing something about the life they had lived or the life someone in their family had lived reflected on the stage,” recalls Nicholas, who now lives in the Los Angeles area. “It gave a way of speaking thoughts they had been thinking and not been able to express.”

Nicholas says that although they were scared all the time, the students were able to “ride on top of our terror” because of the unity and energy between the freedom workers and the townspeople.

“You could sense, you could feel the awakening of the people themselves,” Nicholas says. “The local people, many of them, were very afraid. But you could feel a change in the air that was palpable. Some of them had already lost their jobs or had their homes burned down and yet they continued coming to our plays and to the schools.

“Oftentimes, they sat on their porches with shotguns in hand to protect us while we slept. I was constantly afraid, but there was fear and a kind of youthful bravado that you’re immortal. And we were surrounded by like-minded people. We felt (that) if these people can live here and do this, we can, too. There was a certain amount of coming-of-age for each one of us.”

Author takes noir look at global security fears

By Oline H. Cogdill McClatchy Newspapers

Barbara Hill, business owner, Lawrence “The Daniel Silva series.

They’re a series of mysteryspy thrillers.”

3C

Mystery writers often use current events to add realism to their novels.

Coral Gables, Fla., author James Grippando has been part of this trend for years and his approach especially is evident in “Afraid of the Dark.”

Grippando’s 17th novel touches on terrorists, the treatment of political prisoners, cyber security, the war in Iraq and even teenage sexting. It’s a heady brew of plot points, but Grippando skillfully balances each tendril.

“Afraid of the Dark” never feels weighty or overwrought because Grippando keeps the focus on his very believable characters.

“Afraid of the Dark” brings back Miami defense attorney Jack Swyteck, whose latest case snowballs. Working pro bono, Jack has been appointed

lawyer for a young Somali man who is jailed in Guantanamo, accused of being a terrorist. During their first meeting, Jack learns that the man also is known as Jamal Wakef ield, suspected of killing his 16-year-old exgirlfriend, McKenna Mays, and blowing up her Coconut Grove home three years before.

Vince Paulo, a former cop, was blinded in that explosion.

Jamal maintains his innocence claiming that he had been kidnapped by a government agency and was being interrogated overseas at the time of the murder.

But no one believes his story, least of all

McClatchy Newspapers

Nate Chamberlain, accounting and psychology major, Lawrence “’Boneshaker’ by Cherie Priest. It’s about zombies and historical fiction. It’s kind of science fiction.”

Breaking theological news: We have definitely identified that rough beast slouching toward Bethlehem. He’s novelist Joe Hill, who admits he’s the antiChrist. For 400 or so pages, anyway: The unlikely hero of his latest book, “Horns,” is Satan, while the Other Guy is portrayed as a con man, a doomsday fanatic and ... well, just plain mean.

“I’m literally the devil’s advocate for 400 pages,” says Hill, speaking from his home, which, incidentally, is in New Hampshire rather than Hell.

“The book is a humorous argument for the devil’s point of view.”

Hill is not entirely accurate in describing his book. True enough that it’s partly a sardonically funny Faustian parable.

But it’s also a creepy murder mystery, a tragic love triangle and a sweetly wistful coming-of-age story. It’s the kind of book that has you laughing on one page, crying on another and making sure the

doors and windows are safely locked on a third. Critics love it, tossing around adjectives such as “masterly” and “scary good,” and so do audiences: It spent several weeks on The New York Times best-seller list.

But the most striking thing about “Horns” is its through-the-looking glass theology. The book’s battered hero is a young man named Ig Perrish, widely suspected (though never formally accused) of raping and murdering his girlfriend after she broke up with him. On the anniversary of her murder, he gets ragingly drunk — and wakes up the next morning with not just a thunderous hangover but also a pair of horns growing from his temples.

He soon learns that the deal with the devil he apparently struck during his alcoholic haze gives him knowledge of the darkest secrets of everyone he meets. Worse yet, they’re compelled to ask his permission to act on their most sinister temptations, from donut glut-

‘Concession’ We give in to the need for self care No longer simply resting But limp Like death across a rock And le pont neuf rises in the background Taunting us with all that it implies We dig into ourselves and though it’s clear our irritation comes from the outside retreat is not an option; the horrors of the outside are nothing more than manifestations of les chose dans nos oubliettes And when we bow our heads It is never in prayer, but fear Though we wake in the night Divided and whispering deliver us from evil And who believed the earth was burnt?

No, hold it for a little.

— Sarah Henry, Lawrence

COMMENTARY

Making contact: The five best UFO films with the unidentified beings who sent them. Aside from depicting that contact in some sort of dreamlike hallucination state, the film spends a lot of time on the issue of science vs. faith.

Mathew McConaughey is the religious friend who decries Foster’s lack of faith, and Jake Busey is a crazed fanatic with destructive plans. In the end, Foster’s character is saddled with the unwavering faith that her experience really happened, and the tables are turned.

By Eric Melin Special to the Journal-World

This weekend, the UFO Reykawvik Summit 2011 brought authors, investigators and researchers to Liberty Hall, 642 Mass., to discuss alien abduction and ongoing UFO sightings.

Coincidentally, while this three-day conference visited our town, the new alien comedy “Paul,” starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as two British nerds who discover an alien in Area 51, opened in theaters. The alien-invasion flick “Battle: Los Angeles” also opened last weekend, and in June, J.J. Abrams releases the highly anticipated “Super 8,” which deals with an alien presence found in 1979 Ohio. There are not a huge amount of films that deal seriously with the matter of extra-terrestrials and UFOs, but this list compiles some of the best.

Honorable mentions: “The War of the Worlds” (1953 and 2005), “Flight of the Navigator” (1986), and “Knowing” (2009).

5. “Fire in the Sky” (1993) This low-budget thriller concentrates on the “true” story of a group of loggers in Arizona who experienced contact with a UFO. One of the men (D.B. Sweeney) was hit by a blinding light and disappeared — only to show up five days later, claiming to have been abducted by aliens. The story mostly focuses on his experience coming back home, the police investigation (all the men passed multiple lie detector tests), and the guilt of one of his friends (Robert Patrick) from having left him there. Even though some of the dialogue isn’t the best and it’s overbearingly earnest, the alien abduction scenes are welldone, and the film is a modest success.

4. “Contact” (1997) Robert Zemeckis adapted this Carl Sagan novel for the screen, casting Jodie Foster as a scientist who finds a

Spring break means time away from school, warmer weather and the chance to hang with friends, but who knew it could be so hip? This spring break, the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H., offers an alternative dance class for children from kindergarten through sixth grade. The theme for the camp is Hip Hop Happening. Teachers and staff at the Lawrence Arts Center will be joined by artists from the Kansas City Hip Hop Academy to instruct campers on the intricacies of urban dance.

Founded in 2005, the Kansas City Hip Hop Academy was created in order to teach the art of hip-hop in a positive manner to children in the greater Kansas City area. Now, children in Lawrence have an opportunity to learn the different elements of the genre.

Instructors from the Kansas City Hip Hop Academy will be teaching campers on Monday and Tuesday of the spring break session. The arts center teachers will then build from their instructions throughout the remainder of the week. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. MondayFriday at the arts center, 940 N.H. Lessons will include instructions on pop and lock and other hip-hop dance moves, but dancing will not be the only hip-hop form taught during the session.

Campers will learn to write rhymes to incorporate into their own raps and how to hear hip hop rhythms and

For those students who are more visually inclined, an instructor will be there to teach campers the art of tagging, mural work and how to create the hip-hop bubble lettering. Videographer Nathan Cardiff will also be putting together a video collage of activities throughout the camp.

At 3:30 p.m. Friday, the camp will put on a Hip Hop Happening performance at the Lawrence Arts Center Theater, which is open to the public.

Candi Baker, director of the dance program at the arts center is very excited for this year’s spring break session.

She emphasizes that this will not be performances the kids watch, but interactive. “It’s not about showing us what they do, but showing the kids how to do it, too.”

1. “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) Steven Spielberg closes out the list because “Close Encounters” still contains the most convincing alien contact ever put to celluloid.

The year was 1977, and the visual effects and models that created the film’s massive flying saucers with rounds of glowing lights are still impressive. Apart from the visuals, Spielberg puts together an even-handed account of one man’s journey (Richard Dreyfuss) to a mysterious UFO landing site, accompanied by the parallel story of a French scientist (François Truffaut) who is putting the mystery of recent unidentified sightings together to build a peaceful welcoming committee for the aliens. The writer/director’s peaceful version of alien contact is a welcome change from the hostile UFO assault movies that came before it, and it has something that other UFO films lack — a soothing resolution.

3. “E.T.: The ExtraTerrestrial” (1982) What is there to say about this movie? Yes, it’s a about a cute little alien stranded on Earth who befriends a young boy (Henry Thomas), but it also has some scary undertones of sinister governmental control. Director Steven Spielberg engages the heart(light) and asks the audience to sympathize with poor E.T. rather than wanting him poked and prodded and studied by scientists. It may not have any deep or “serious” message, but by sticking with a view of the story through a child’s eyes, it has plenty of emotional connection. If that’s not an effective way to convince you of the possibility of alien life, I don’t know what is.

mankind’s penchant for war and violence. Klaatu issues a warning that if the world leaders do not terminate their destructive tendencies, “Planet Earth will be eliminated.” His experiences with a World War II widow (Patricia Neal) and her son give him hope, but the military keeps giving him trouble. “The Day the Earth Stood Still” spends most of its time grappling with the big picture of our human footprint and not special effects, and it remains a thoughtful classic. A Keanu Reeves remake in 2008 did nothing to complement the original’s legacy.

my during a workshop by the Lied Center for teachers centered on arts in education last year. Roscoe Johnson, of the Kansas City Hip Hop Academy, presented at the workshop and encouraged the teachers to write a rap about to creative represent their unique qualities. Baker said she enjoyed writing and performing the rap during the workshop. Johnson then re-performed her piece, showing her how to emphasize certain aspects of her rhyme in order to create a rap.

The instructors are able to emphasize the positive aspects of hip-hop, “they give the kids a positive chance for self-expression.” Some elements of their instructions can help children with not only artistic expression, but school work, “the rhyming methods taught will help the kids with memorization techniques,” she says, “the goal of their lessons is to empower kids.”

Already, 35 students have signed up for the spring break session and the camp could quickly fill. For students who can’t attend this camp, but have an interest in hip-hop, Baker says not to fret, hip-hop and jazz dance classes are offered throughout the year, with adult classes as well.

Two teachers from the drama program, one from the dance program and one from the visual arts program will also be teaching throughout the spring break session. “I’m excited,” says Baker, “our kids get to learn something new and fun. It’s going to be a great week.”

SPOIL YOURSELF In these days of economic and budget concerns, it may seem frivolous to advise homeowners thinking of renovating their kitchens to indulge themselves.

But, as long as homeowners stick to their budgets in all other respects, they can feel somewhat justified in choosing one kitchen element that provides immeasurable enjoyment. Having one such extravagant component also helps to give a kitchen its distinctive look. Homeowners list of “splurge” items include granite countertops, elaborate backsplash tiles, a farmhouse sink and decorative hoods above a range. If including one such item in the design makes homeowners excited about being in their kitchens, it is well worth it. It always pays to buy cabinets of the best quality one can afford.

We pride ourselves in being able to provide kitchen renovations for every budget, as well as every style.

We’ll work with you to find the right look for your wallet on time and on budget. Come to Kitchen & Bath Designs today to ask us about specials coming in April!

SCOTT CAILTEUX MOWS HIS YARD AT HIS WEST LAWRENCE HOME. If you’re going to hire someone to take over the mowing and other lawn work, extension agent Jennifer Smith recommends preparing some questions to make sure the lawn company you choose is really the right one for you.

THE BEST FOR YOUR GREEN ————

Pointed questions to ask when looking for lawn care pros

F

or a brief moment, I thought about hiring a lawn care company this year.

Visions of me relaxing in a lawn chair or joyfully clipping the roses while someone else ran the mower danced in my head. Also in my short daydream, I started thinking about just what I would look for if I were going to hire a lawn care professional.

What to ask First, I would ask people I know for recommendations.

Second, I would start calling around and asking questions.

What kinds of services does the company offer?

Will the company core aerate and dethatch my fescue lawn in the fall? Can they re-seed and overseed at the same time?

What about weed control?

Many companies offer a standard package, including a certain number of fertilizations, pre- and post-emergence weed

control, and some level of fall renovation. Insect and disease control are standard with some companies and optional with others. This can make it slightly more difficult to compare prices, but think about the number of times the operator will be on site.

What are their mowing practices?

To maintain optimal health of my fescue lawn, I want the mowing height to be three to four inches throughout the year. The grass can be a little

shorter in the spring and fall when it is actively growing and taller in the summer to encourage drought tolerance.

Also, the company should use a mower that returns the clippings to the lawn rather than bagging them. Grass clippings are mostly water and nutrients, so I certainly do not want to pay someone to haul those things away.

What are their fertilization practices?

A soil test a few years ago showed that my lawn already had adequate amounts of phosphorus and potassium, so the grass should only need supplemental nitrogen. The recommended amount of nitrogen for fescue lawns is three to five pounds of actual nitrogen per thousand square feet.

If my lawn were irrigated, it would be okay for the service provider to break that into three to four applications.

However, my lawn is not irrigated, so I am looking for a

company that will only fertilize at the optimum times — September and November.

The type of nitrogen fertilizer is also important. Quickrelease forms are recommended for fall applications and slow-release forms are best for spring.

The best part about having someone else fertilize is letting them do the math! Calibrating fertilizer spreaders and calculating actual pounds of nitrogen are up there with my least favorite weekend chores.

Does the company maintain any professional licenses, memberships, or certification?

There are not many certifications available for lawn care service providers. The most important one applies only if the provider uses pest control products and is required by law.

If a company offers to do any kind of weed, insect, disease, rodent, etc. control on your

property, make sure they are a state certified pesticide applicator.

Selection With these questions answered, I would be ready to get some quotes.

Having a healthy lawn that out-competes weeds and minimizes erosion is most important to me, and I realize I may pay more for a more knowledgeable professional.

The last thing I would do before finally hiring a company is to get everything in a written contract for both of us to sign.

The thought of relaxing in the lawn chair is dancing in my head again.

My do-it-yourself nature is fighting the thought of hiring someone.

If I do, at least I have a plan.

Children’s educational toys are rare finds

By Terry Kovel

Educational toys are not a new idea.

A rare 19th-century “Yankee Schoolmaster” toy was offered in a recent auction. The toy was patented in 1884. Push a lever on the 10 1/2-inch-tall toy and the mechanism makes the man blink his eyes while the alphabet showing on his chest moves to the next letter. One hand is behind his round body, and the other points to the next letter. The castings for the toy and the painted finish show the excellent quality of the manufacturer’s work. It must have been mysterious for a toddler to see each new letter, and perhaps it did help teach the alphabet. The toy is extremely rare; only a few are known to exist today. It sold last year at a

James Julia auction in Fairfield, Maine.

Q:

Should vintage clothing or linens be washed in soap or detergent?

I’ve heard you can use FelsNaptha to remove stains.

A:

Detergents were invented in the 1940s, but people still like to use soap for vintage cloth since detergents include chemicals and other synthetic ingredients. Soap is made of natural materials, including oil and lye or another alkaline solution, but it can leave scum in hard water and can cause a fabric to become gray or yellowish if not completely rinsed. Lazarus Fels, founder of Fels and Co., began making soap in 1861.

Fels-Naptha was introduced in

1893 when naptha, a solvent, was added to the formula. It can be used to remove stains made by chocolate, grass, makeup, perspiration, oil or grease. There are some other uses for real Fels-Naptha. If you walk into a patch of poison ivy, wash your clothes with FelsNaptha to get rid of the poisonous residue. Users claim it can also be used to get rid of aphids on plants, fleas and ticks on dogs, and worms on trees.

Q: I have an antique phonograph that belonged to my grandparents. It has the words “Columbia Grafonola” above a circle with two notes in it and the words “Made in U.S.A., Type E.2” below. It still works, and I get a kick out of winding it up and playing one of my grandmother’s old

records. I would like to know how much it is worth.

A: The Columbia Phonograph Co. was established in New York in 1889. The president of the company bought American Graphophone Co. in 1893. American Graphophone Co. manufactured phonographs in Bridgeport, Conn., and Columbia sold them. The Grafonola was introduced in 1907.

The trademark with the notes and the name “Columbia” above it was first used in 1923.

The Columbia wasn’t as popular as some other brands, and collectors are not as eager to own the old ones. Value: $100$300.

Tip: To remove an unwanted gummed price sticker, try heating it with a hair dryer. The glue will melt a bit, and it will be easier to peel off the sticker.

Husband should be trusting wife over friends Dear Annie: My husband and I were in a social group with several other women who I thought were friends. A short time ago, he told me that two of the women came to him under the pretense of being concerned about our marriage. They claimed I had said negative things about him that he should be aware of.

Most of what they told him were lies, and the rest was blown out of proportion. Unfortunately, he seems to believe them. I am hurt by this and no longer want to be friends with these women. My husband thinks I’m being unfair. This is causing all sorts of trouble in our marriage. Please help. — Hurt and Betrayed Dear Hurt: It is not unusual for women to talk about their husbands, both positively and negatively. A good friend understands that these comments are generally about blowing off steam and are not meant to be repeated.

A woman with ulterior motives, however, would be happy to make the wife look bad and provide a reason to chum up to the husband.

Although, since two women did this, we wonder what, exactly, you said to them.

Your real problem, however, is that your husband prefers to believe these women instead of his wife. Tell him those friendships are over, and if he doesn’t

trust you, it’s time for marriage counseling. And we recommend in the future you be more careful about what you say and to whom.

Dear Annie: Over the course of our 35-year marriage, my husband and I have had problems with alcohol. I gave up hard liquor four years ago and recently stopped drinking beer. My husband continues to drink, though he insists he doesn’t have a problem because he goes to work every day. “Jay” won’t acknowledge what the rest of us have to put up with when he drinks. He doesn’t remember his actions or makes excuses as if his drinking is my fault.

Since I’ve been completely sober, a cloud has lifted from my brain and I am able to do things I hadn’t done in years. I am more outgoing and friendly, which makes Jay so jealous that he becomes absolutely

‘Race’ even more amazing when compared with other reality fare Much of Sunday’s normally competitive schedule has been overrun by reality. The “characters” may come and go on “Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS), but the show maintains a remarkable level of production wizardry, closer to Olympics coverage than your average cheap-o unscripted time-waster. No wonder it has won (and deserved) so many Emmys for the genre.

On the other hand, “Secret Millionaire”(7 p.m., ABC) seems a lot like a show that used to be on Fox. That’s because it is the exact same show that used to be on Fox. Much like CBS’s “Undercover Boss” (8 p.m., CBS,), “Millionaire” puts the accent on uplift and profiles the haves helping the have-nots. Both are feel-good shows airing during hard times, but if you look just past the veneer, they are both basically product placements for rich people. When times get tough, the wealthy promote themselves.

But no network does product placement quite as blatantly as NBC. Their new series “America’s Next Great Restaurant” (7 p.m., NBC) got off to a rather rocky start when it got clobbered by the surprisingly large audience for “Secret Millionaire.” “Restaurant” also has a feelgood theme. It’s far more like ABC’s returning “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC) than Gordon Ramsay’s fiery theaters of cruelty. Each contestant fights for the attention of potential investors for his or her restaurant chain idea. But before these fledgling notions can take hold, we are bludgeoned by endless advertising for existing franchises. As on tonight’s “Restaurant,” when the contestants must toil in a Chipolte’s outlet. All day long. You can’t buy that kind of publicity. And on NBC, apparently you don’t have to.

The less-than-stellar debut for “Restaurant” and the ever-stale atmosphere of “The Apprentice” are yet another indication that NBC has yet to climb out of a ditch. To make matters worse, NFL football has ground to a halt based on a game of contract chicken. CBS faces a nightmare because Charlie Sheen blew up “Two and a Half Men.” But they have other hit shows.

“Sunday Night Football” was NBC’s one ratings winner. And now that’s in jeopardy. ● Speaking of fiascos, TLC airs “Charlie Sheen: On the Brink” (9 p.m., TLC) as if there hasn’t been enough said about him on mass and social media. This hour-long expose offers some insights from MacKenzie Phillips, who apparently knows about the private costs of public fame. ● Having failed to light up the world on Tuesdays, “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC) airs its season finale on a different night.

That’s a pretty sure sign that this Motor City production is deader than the DeLorean.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): updates from Japan; a profile of New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan. ● Death stops twice on a delivery truck’s route on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Robert Knepper reprises his T-Bag role from “Prison Break” on “Breakout Kings” (9 p.m., A&E).

irate. He will be angry with me for hours because I talked to someone other than him.

Jay insists I am the one with the problem. We still have a child at home who has to hear this nonsense. I can’t talk rationally to Jay when he has had more than three drinks because he rants, and when he’s sober, he won’t talk about it. He insists I’ve misunderstood, because he doesn’t recall saying the things that hurt so much. Or he clams up, fixes a drink and hides in the bedroom.

Jay’s irrational moods are becoming more frequent.

How do I respond to him now?

Labor in full roar again, but it’s not the same

By Calvin Woodward and Sam Hananel

By Barry Schweid

Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — Labor is roaring again, like in the old days. But it’s a wounded sound now.

In the bitter aftermath of a showdown with Wisconsin’s governor, and as other states move to weaken public employee bargaining rights, unions and their allies dare to hope they can turn rage into revival. This could be a makeor-break moment for a movement that brought the nation the 40-hour week, overtime pay, upward mobility, a storied century of brawls, progressivism and corruption — and now a struggle to stay relevant in the modern age.

Not so many answer to the call anymore when labor demands, as it did in the bloody strife of Kentucky coal country generations ago, “Which side are you on?”

One way or another, the Wisconsin Waterloo and the forces it set loose will fill a chapter in organized labor’s history. The dispute mobilized masses, attracted public support on the side of workers and set up a political donnybrook to play out in the months ahead as labor leaders seek voters’ vengeance against the Republicans who eviscerated union rights.

But it was, at the core, a defeat for labor in the one place where it has stayed strong: the public sector.

Suddenly this redoubt looks like a fat target.

“I think Republicans smell blood in the water,” said Leon Fink, a labor historian at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “Politics is a highly organized game of money ball and this could set back both the unions and Democratic Party power for years.”

Weakening unions Since the heyday of organized labor’s influence in the 1950s, when union membership reached its peak at about one of every three workers, unions have fought a losing battle against the steady erosion of membership and clout.

Last year union membership fell to 11.9 percent of all workers, and just 6.9 percent of the private sector. The number of major strikes in 2009 and 2010 was the lowest on record.

If you’re a labor sympathizer wondering why unions got weak, pick your poison.

The decline of unions in the private sector mirrored the push to globalization, especially the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to other countries and the shift of other factories from the longtime industrial heartland to states less hospitable to organized labor.

Companies took an increasingly aggressive stance against union organizers, emboldened by the Reagan administration’s firing of

This could be a make-or-break moment for a movement that brought the nation the 40-hour week, overtime pay, upward mobility, and now a struggle to stay relevant in the modern age.

11,000 striking air traffic controllers in 1981. That act was taken as a wink to the corporate world that the longestablished order was upended and that business, too, could play rough.

“Labor now gives off an almost animal sense of weakness,” Chicago union lawyer Thomas Geoghegan wrote in his Reagan-era ode to the movement — something of an obituary for it.

In the mid-1970s, when miners pulled off one of their multiple massive strikes, they choked coal production, idled steel plants that were starved of fuel and caused rolling brownouts in New York City. Americans far removed from strikes sharply felt their effects.

Not now.

In the 1970s, the nation saw an average of 269 major strikes or lockouts each year.

The number has dropped precipitously ever since, to 17 per year over the past decade.

The five in 2009 were the fewest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started counting in 1947.

When industrial unions negotiated higher wages and better working conditions in more influential times, those advances rippled through the economy, setting a benchmark for union and nonunion workplaces. With less than 7 percent of the private sector unionized now, contracts no longer have the reach to raise all boats.

‘Sense of hopelessness’ Young workers today float from job to job and often have little vested interest in longterm improvements in employee satisfaction at a company. That has made it harder to organize new generations to replace the loyal-

Nor are communities as cohesive as they once were.

When 1,900 miners staged an 11-month strike against Pittston Coal in 1989-90 to restore health and other benefits for retirees, widows and disabled miners, their makeshift Camp Solidarity drew thousands from across southwestern Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky as well as from coal towns as far away as Canada. More than 37,000 participated in wildcat strikes throughout coal country to support the Pittston miners in a standoff that ranged between peaceful civil disobedience and ugly confrontation. The United Mine Workers finally won the day.

And now? It’s questionable how much common cause there will be between the public servants whose union rights are at risk and the rest of the population.

Instead of solidarity, says John Russo, labor studies

professor at Youngstown State University, a “politics of resentment” may be in play.

“There’s a sense of hopelessness,“ he says. “Some people feel like, ‘If we’re not going to go anywhere, I’m going to make sure nobody else is going anywhere.’”

To be sure, unions have made recent strides in pulling in new members in the service sector and health care industry. Labor remains a powerful political force.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., owes his narrow re-election victory last year to the dogged work of union organizers.

“There is no institution in America on either side of the aisle that has an infrastructure that gets people to the polls like the labor movement,” said Amy Dean, a former head of the AFL-CIO in California’s Silicon Valley.

“Nobody can put people out on the streets and go door to door like we can.”

When he took over as secretary of state in the Clinton administration at age 68, Warren M. Christopher said he didn’t expect to travel much.

He went on to set a four-year mark for miles traveled by America’s top diplomat.

The attorney turned envoy tirelessly traveled to Bosnia and the Middle East on peace missions during his 1993-1996 tenure — including Christopher some two dozen to Syria alone in a futile effort to promote a settlement with Israel.

After his work finished carrying out the Clinton administration agenda abroad, the longtime Californian returned home for an active life in local and national affairs and with his law firm.

Late Friday, the 85-year-old statesman died at his home in Los Angeles of complications from bladder and kidney cancer, said Sonja Steptoe of the law firm O’Melveny & Myers, where Christopher was a senior partner.

President Barack Obama said Saturday that he mourned the passing of a man who proved to be a “resolute pursuer of peace” and dedicated public servant.

“Warren Christopher was a skillful diplomat, a steadfast public servant, and a faithful American,” the president said in a statement.

As Christopher prepared

to step down in 1996 as secretary “for someone else to pick up the baton,” he said in an interview he was pleased to have played a role in making the United States safer.

Along with his peace efforts, he told The Associated Press that his proudest accomplishments included playing a role in promoting a ban on nuclear weapons tests and extension of curbs on proliferation of weapons technology.

The loyal Democrat headed Clinton’s vice-presidential search committee, recommending Al Gore for the party’s 1992 presidential ticket, and he also supervised the contested Florida recount for Gore in the 2000 presidential election. The Supreme Court, on a 5-4 vote, decided for George W. Bush.

Clinton said Saturday that he was saddened by Christopher’s passing, calling him a public servant who “faithfully and effectively advanced America’s interests and values.”

“Chris had the lowest ratio of ego to accomplishment of any public servant I’ve ever worked with,” Clinton said in a statement.

Clinton praised Christopher’s work in the Middle East peace process and in helping to end the war in Bosnia.

While Christopher’s efforts with Syria didn’t bear fruit, he was more successful in the negotiations that produced a settlement in 1995 for Bosnia, ending a war among Muslims, Serbs and Croats that claimed 260,000 lives and drove another 1.8 million people from their homes.

Egypt votes freely for 1st time in half-century C A I R O (AP ) — Millions of Egyptians voted freely Saturday for the first time in more than half a century, joyfully waiting for hours to cast their ballots on a package of constitutional changes eliminating much-hated restrictions on political rights and civil liberties.

Young people traded mobile-phone pictures of inkstained fingers that showed they voted. Others called relatives to boast of casting the first vote of their lives. In the well-off Cairo neighborhood of Maadi, a man hoisted his elderly, infirm father on his shoulder and carried him to a polling station.

“My vote today will make a difference. It’s as simple as that,” said first-time voter Hossam Bishay, 48.

The first test of Egypt’s transition to democracy offered ominous hints of widening sectarian division, however.

Many were drawn to the

polls in a massive, last-minute effort by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group that is Egypt’s largest and most coherent political organization after the widely despised National Democratic Party of former President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted last month in a national popular uprising.

Among other changes, the constitutional amendments would open elections to independent candidates, allowing parliamentary and presidential elections to replace the caretaker military government by early 2012.

Critics say that would allow the Brotherhood and NDP to easily outpoll the dozens of political groups born out of the anti-Mubarak uprising, dividing power between former regime loyalists and supporters of a fundamentalist state — a nightmare scenario for both Western powers and many inside Egypt.
