They may not have returned as champions, but at least they got a hero’s welcome.

More than 5,000 Jayhawk fans turned up Tuesday night to Allen Fieldhouse for the return of the men’s basketball team from New Orleans, which by all accounts had a stellar season despite its 6759 loss to powerhouse Kentucky in the national championship game on Monday.

Many people talked about celebrating the better-than-expected season, including coach Bill Self.

“How many people could have predicted the accomplishments of this team?” he asked to a standing, cheering crowd.

Fourteen people were arrested — most of them on misdemeanor charges — near downtown Lawrence after Kansas University’s loss Monday night in the NCAA championship game, according to Douglas County Jail records.

And a Kansas University Medical Center police officer was treated for a head injury after a suspect in a fight hit him and knocked him to the ground on Massachusetts Street, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman. A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper was bitten on the arm in a separate incident.

Despite those problems, he said police were pleased with how most fans acted Monday night.

“Obviously we had a group that was very disappointed. The vast majority of our citizens and fans behaved themselves and mourned the loss with us for a few minutes

In 2010: No. 4.

This year’s rankings included some new measures. For example, researchers looked at the percentage of fast-food restaurants, which is why the county dropped in the physical environment measure. Fifty-two percent of the county’s restaurants are fast food. Researchers also looked at access to healthy foods, and 7 percent of the Douglas County population lives in poverty and does not live close to a grocery store.

Another reason for the huge drop in physical environment is air quality. In the 2010 report, the county had two days per year where the air quality

While Douglas County moved up one spot in the rankings compared with last year, in 2010 it was No. 4. Here’s how it ranked in the six specific health measures:

No. 5 for mortality. It looks at years of potential life lost before age 75. In 2011: No. 5. In 2010: No. 3.

No. 34 for morbidity. It is based on quality of physical and mental health and birth outcomes.

“We would be half as good without you guys,” he said.

Senior guard Conner Teahan spoke about the team’s tenacity through upset wins and a final, hard loss.

“We never quit; we kept fighting,” he told the

crowd. “We didn’t want to let you guys down.”

Teahan’s uncle and cousin were among the fans and echoed the pride expressed by others.

“Conner told us, ‘we’re gonna be great,’” said Mike Teahan, of Overland Park, about this year’s team. “As a fan, it was a stressful season at times, but really, the team did great this year.”

Fans like Lawrence resident Cassie Stone are already looking forward to next season.

and then left downtown,” McKinley said. “There was the other element of people who were looking for trouble, and those were the people that we dealt with as we got closer to 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., that sort of thing.”

About 250 Lawrence police and other area law enforcement officers, including Douglas County Sheriff’s and Kansas Highway Patrol troopers, patrolled downtown and the Oread Neighborhood as fans left bars and watch parties. The scene was more somber than Saturday night’s euphoria after KU’s victory over Ohio State.

Arrests Twelve of the people arrested will face charges in Lawrence Municipal Court.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson’s office reviewed two other cases:

Vanessa Dawn Royer Warren, 40, Lawrence was arrested at 11:15 p.m. near Eighth and New Hampshire streets and charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery on a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper.

About 40 minutes later, an 18-year-old Topeka man was arrested in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, obstruction and disorderly conduct, but prosecutors said no formal charges would be filed Tuesday, and he was released.

According to dispatch traffic and reports on Twitter, officers used a Taser to aid in at least one arrest downtown. McKinley said the report on the incident was not finished and that officers from other agencies deployed a Taser to help make two arrests.

“Witnessed a guy purposely knock a cop to the ground, then run. Three

cops started to run after him when 1 cop tazed the guy,” Jessica Bricker wrote on Twitter at 1 a.m.

Tuesday.

The 14 arrests included nine charges for disorderly conduct; four for battery; three for theft; two for battery on an officer; two for obstruction; one DUI; and one each for possession of marijuana and interference with duties of an officer. Nearly all suspects were arrested for more than one charge.

The people arrested included two Lawrence women; two Lawrence men; an Ottawa man; a Lee’s Summit, Mo., woman; an Independence, Mo., man; a Kansas City, Mo., man; five Topeka men; and a Tonganoxie man.

Unlike Saturday, police did not close Massachusetts Street downtown to vehicle traffic.

Other incidents following the game

McKinley said a crowd gathered at 14th and Kentucky streets as one or two people climbed up to try to steal the Kentucky street sign, damaging the traffic light. A city utilities crew worked on the light Tuesday afternoon, and temporary stop signs were in place.

No other major damage was reported, but police did receive calls about people in Oread neighborhood trying to steal other Kentucky Street signs, McKinley said. Many of those incidents occurred when police were dealing with crowds and they had all non-emergency calls on hold, he said.

A wicker loveseat was set on fire about 12:25 a.m. in the street in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street.

Assistant KU police Chief Chris Keary said there were no major incidents on campus. Allen Fieldhouse was near capacity for much of the game as fans watched the broadcast from New Orleans on the video board.

DISCUSSION FORUMS The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department will be hosting a series of public forums to discuss the findings of its community health assessment. They will be:

May 9 — 3:30 p.m., Lawrence’s Community Health Facility, 200 Maine.

May 15 — 7 p.m., Eudora Community Center, 1630 Elm St.

“What the rankings tell us is that while access to medical care is critically important, our health is affected by much more than what happens in a doctor’s office. They show us that where we live matters to our health,” said Patrick Remington, professor and associate dean at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. “Counties, cities and neighborhoods can use the rankings to identify their problems and work together — pooling and targeting their resources — to collectively solve

Lawrence Memorial Hospital reported there were 15 game-related emergency room visits because of falls, lacerations and intoxication. All patients were treated and released.

Kentucky mayhem Lawrence police generally were pleased with their response and fans’ reactions both Saturday and Monday.

“All in all, things went well, and certainly as we compare ourselves to other cities we feel very fortunate that we were able to carry this out with really no major problems at all,” McKinley said.

Police were busier in Lexington, Ky., responding to a rowdy victory crowd there.

One man was wounded by gunfire early Tuesday in Lexington, numerous small fires were set and dozens were arrested as thousands of fans celebrated, authorities reported to The Associated Press. The shooting victim later had his foot amputated.

Lexington police had arrested several dozen people by the time the game had been over only a few minutes, police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said late Monday, adding that people had set couches and at least one car on fire.

Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the Lexington Division of Fire and Emergency Services said that about 56 fire runs had been made in the area where fans had gathered. One was a garage fire, but the rest were smaller nuisance fires involving couches or bedding, he said. Davis knew of no fire-related injuries.

“Each year more and more people are realizing that it is all of our responsibility to promote health,” Remington said.

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department Director Dan Partridge agrees that the report has helped raise awareness and provided an impetus for change.

“LiveWell Lawrence is a coalition that this community should be proud of,” he said. “Its goal is to improve access to healthy foods and increase physical activity.

It pushed for the adoption of a Complete Streets Policy to improve our physical environment.”

He said the health department is compiling information from an online survey, one-on-one interviews and group meetings to present its own community health assessment. The assessment will be shared at public forums next month.

Although the county improved its overall ranking, Partridge said there’s always room for improvement.

“The goal is to be a healthy community, and No. 1 still may not be good enough. My mantra is ‘Let’s get better,’” he said.

BRIEFLY Ex-Kansas governor replaced on KBA TOPEKA (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has replaced former Democratic Gov. John Carlin as a member of an agency set up to nurture bioscience companies.

Brownback announced Carlin the appointment Monday of Manhattan resident Lee Borck to the Kansas Bioscience Authority. He’ll replace Carlin, whose term expired in mid-March.

Borck is chairman of the Beef Marketing Group Cooperative and Innovative Livestock Services, a farming and cattle-feeding company.

Both have offices in Great Bend. His appointment must be confirmed by the state Senate.

Brownback and some fellow conservative Republicans in the Legislature have criticized the authority’s operations.

Carlin has defended the agency and said he hadn’t expected to be reappointed.

Carlin was governor from 1979 to 1987 and had served on the Bioscience Authority since July 2006.

Franklin County attorney to resign Franklin County Attorney Heather Jones has announced she is stepping down.

Jones said she accepted an assistant district attorney position in the Johnson County Attorney’s Office as a section chief of the sex crimes and child abuse division. Her resignation in Franklin County takes effect May 22.

She has served as an assistant county attorney beginning in August 2000 and took office as county attorney in 2005 after winning the 2004 election. She won re-election in 2008.

The Franklin County Republican Party’s central committee will elect a replacement to recommend to Gov. Sam Brownback.

Jones said she planned to continue handling an ongoing Douglas County sex crime case in which she is a special prosecutor.

Outgoing mayor reflects on year Cromwell touts KU partnership, library plan progress

The Journal-World would like to apologize for the late and missed papers some subscribers have experienced this week. A number of issues have led to this persistent problem and we are working to resolve them.

To compensate subscribers in the affected delivery areas in Lawrence, the Journal-World will be extending their subscriptions by one week.

We continue to receive questions from readers about this week’s problems. We address those questions here.

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence city government has embarked on a new era of cooperation with business, and in particular Kansas University, outgoing Mayor Aron Cromwell said Tuesday night in his state of the city address.

“Our working relationship with KU has never been better,” Cromwell said in an interview with the Journal-World.

Cromwell said a renewed sense of cooperation with KU probably was one of the more significant developments during his one-year term as mayor that ended Tuesday as commissioners elected Commissioner Bob Schumm to serve as mayor for the next 12 months.

“There is a true spirit of cooperation now between the city and the university, and we’re actually listening to each other,” said Cromwell, who credits Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little with making better relations with the city a high priority of her administration.

“And KU is looking very hard for spin-off opportunities for their research, which could be very positive for Lawrence’s economy.”

Schumm, a downtown restaurant owner and landlord, was unanimously elected by fellow commissioners to serve as mayor, his third stint in the position since the late 1980s.

Schumm for the past year has served as the vice mayor, which traditionally has been the position next in line to serve as mayor. Commissioners also unanimously elected Commissioner Mike Dever to serve as vice mayor.

Most problems were related to Sunday’s newspaper.

The newsroom had a later deadline to allow for our comprehensive coverage of the Kansas University-Ohio State NCAA semifinal game. Also, there was a large amount of insert advertising on Sunday, a week before Easter and one of the busiest days of the year in terms of increased advertising. In addition, we had a large number of new newspaper carriers starting that day with larger routes with which they were not familiar. Add all of those together, and the result was some subscribers receiving late newspapers and that some papers weren’t delivered at all.

OUTGOING LAWRENCE MAYOR ARON CROMWELL gives his state of the city address at City Hall on Tuesday, reflecting on projects he oversaw, such as progress with the library expansion and renewing the relationship between the city and Kansas University. The City Commission elected Bob Schumm to serve as mayor for the next year.

Review into gov.’s Computer issue downs driver’s license system meetings delayed

By John Hanna

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — A Kansas district attorney’s investigation into private meetings between Republican legislators and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback won’t be finished until the end of the m o n t h Brownback because members of the governor’s staff and a few lawmakers still must be interviewed, a spokesman for the prosecutor said Tuesday.

Lee McGowan, chief of staff to Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, said the interviews won’t be completed until after legislators return April 25 from their annual spring break.

Taylor, a Democrat, launched the investigation in February into whether the gatherings violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. The law prohibits a voting majority of a legislative body from discussing government business without giving the public notice or access to the meetings.

Brownback invited more than 90 of the state’s 165 legislators to dinner gath-

BRIEFLY City seeks ideas for skate park Leaders with the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department are looking for feedback on proposed improvements to the city skate park in Centennial Park.

City officials will host a meeting at 6 p.m. Friday at the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St., to hear ideas about how the city can improve the city-operated skate park.

The skate park, located at 600 Rockledge Road, has deteriorated since it was built in 1998. City officials recently have hired a Maine-based design firm to come up with about $125,000 worth of improvements to the facility.

Once a design is settled upon, work is expected to begin later this year.

Lecompton elects council members Lecompton residents elected three City Council members Tuesday.

The unofficial results as of Tuesday night (they have to be confirmed by the county board of canvassers on Monday) show incumbent Jimmy Wilkins in a tie for first place in number of votes at 58. Mary Jane Hoffer, a write-in candidate, also won 58 votes. Loretta Susie Hackathorn, also a write-in, came in third with 42 votes. Jennifer Smith and Christy Mallonee, with 24 votes each, were the two other incumbents and the only other two on the official ballot. Smith and Mallonee both resigned from the council on March 19 amid controversy over what to do with the currently empty Lecompton High School and their treatment by other council members.

Eighty-six votes were cast, which is 22 percent of the population, according to Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew.

Other write-in candidates and their votes:

Danny Sanford — 3

James Goodrick — 2

Lyle Fergus — 1

erings in January at Cedar Crest, the governor’s official residence, grouping them by their membership on 13 legislative committees. Only one Democrat was invited; she has said she assumed it was a mistake and didn’t attend.

The governor acknowledged last month that he set up the meetings to discuss his agenda for this year’s legislative session, did “most of the talking” and took questions and comments. However, he’s dismissed criticism that the gatherings were business meetings, and lawmakers who attended them have described them repeatedly as social gatherings.

“We’re trying to interview everybody that actually attended at least one of the dinners,” McGowan said. “We are waiting until after that break to finish up with legislators.”

Taylor said at the start of his investigation that his investigators were likely to interview Brownback, but McGowan said Tuesday that he’s not sure that will happen.

The district attorney also has said the Kansas Open Meetings Act does not apply to Brownback as an individual, and that the alleged violations are civil, not criminal, matters.

“I’ll always remember Mayor Cromwell for his work on the library,” Schumm said. “He is the one who spent hours knocking on doors asking voters their opinions.”

The city’s operations had made good strides in becoming more environmentally sustainable.

Cromwell, who is an environmental consultant by trade, said the city had reduced its energy usage, created a new program to promote urban agriculture and had improved the city’s recycling options. In particular, Cromwell led the efforts to create a new glass recycling partnership with Kansas City-based Ripple Glass. Cromwell said during the first month of operation, the new glass recycling bins have diverted from the landfill 1 ton of glass per day.

Q: Why wasn’t my call answered when I reported my paper missing?

A: Our Circulation Department customer service phone system was overloaded and unanswered calls didn’t go to voice mail, so the call continued to ring until the caller hung up. This issue is not yet resolved, but is being addressed.

Q: Other than calling the main 843-1000 number, how else can I contact customer service to report a problem?

TOPEKA — Kansas is unable to issue new driver’s licenses or non-driver identification cards because of a problem with a computer server, leaving the state to hand out paper slips extending licenses and ID cards for 15 days.

The state Division of Vehicles said Tuesday that a problem with a vendor’s server took down the license-issuing system at all 111 driver’s license offices statewide. Spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said offices still wouldn’t be able to issue licenses or IDs when they open Wednesday.

The offices receive about 13,000 visitors a week. About 3,000 typically come Tuesday, which is normally a busy day because the offices are closed Monday.

“The vendor will be working on this through the night,” Koranda said.

The division is in the midst of a $40 million computer upgrade that will integrate driver’s license records with vehicle title and registration data.

The computer upgrade began an important issue for legislators in considering a proposal from Secretary of State Kris Kobach to require proof of U.S.

es to the city’s trash system would continue.

Cromwell was chairman of the city’s Solid Waste Task Force, which has made several recommendations to add a new curbside recycling program and mandate the usage of city-issued trash carts instead of standard cans or bags.

Cromwell said the trash issues have taken longer than he anticipated but said the community dialogue has been positive.

“I’ve heard the absolute necessity of maintaining the high levels of customer service that is offered today,” Cromwell said of the city-operated trash service. “I’m confident the city can create a system that is economically friendly, environmentally friendly and safe for our workers.

“I’m going to make sure that this issue maintains its momentum. It will continue to be a priority of mine.”

Koranda said the computer problem is with an eight-year-old server that will no longer be used following the upgrade. She said after a faulty part is replaced, the vendor will have to reload Division of Vehicles data.

State testing postponed because of late NCAA championship game

Lawrence school district students had the Jayhawks to thank for a slight reprieve in state assessment testing.

A number of elementary schools postponed state assessments that were scheduled for Tuesday for fear that students would come in groggy or miss school entirely after Monday’s NCAA championship game that pitted Kansas University against the University of Kentucky.

Schools can take the assessments between Feb. 15 and April 20. Many schools wait until after the spring break, which explains why so many schools were testing this week. Many save the last week of testing for makeups.

“It is pretty widespread testing this week and next,” McEwen said.

At New York, third-, fourth- and fifth-graders were scheduled to take either math or reading state assessment tests on Tuesday. Those tests have been moved to Friday.

“We’ve got the time. It’s not like the window closes on Friday,” DeGarmo said.

Hillcrest School principal Tammy Becker pushed back the state assessment math test for her fifth-graders.

“Mainly, I didn’t want to have a bunch of absences,” Becker said. “It was more of a precautionary thing.”

Romney takes Wisconsin, Maryland, D.C.

By David Espo and Kasie Hunt Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Mitt Romney tightened his grip on the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, sweeping primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C., with time left over to swap charges with President Barack Obama.

“Four more years?”

Romney asked sarcastically of the president as supporters cheered in Milwaukee.

He said Obama was “a little out of touch” after spending four years surrounded by the trappings of power and had presided over near-record job losses as well as increases in poverty, home foreclosures, government debt and gasoline prices. In Washington, Obama said things

could be worse — and he predicted they would be if Romney and the Republicans got their Romney way.

The victories enabled Romney to pad his alreadywide delegate lead over Republican rival Rick Santorum, who flashed defiance in the face of pressure to abandon his own candidacy in the name of party unity.

Wisconsin was the marquee contest of the night, the only place of the three on the ballot where Santorum mounted a significant effort. Romney’s victory there marked his fourth in little more than a month in a belt of industrial states that also included Michigan, Ohio and Illinois.

Returns from 15 percent

of the state’s precincts showed Romney with 43 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Ron Paul and 6 percent for Newt Gingrich.

Returns from 25 percent of Maryland’s precincts showed Romney with 48 percent of the vote to 30 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Gingrich and 9 percent for Ron Paul.

With 43 percent precincts counted in Washington, Romney had 68 percent of the vote to 13 percent for Paul and 11 percent for Gingrich. Santorum was not on the ballot.

“We won ‘em all,” Romney declared, a former Massachusetts governor now the nominee-in-waiting for a party eager to reclaim the White House.

For Romney, the end of the contested primary campaign could hardly come soon enough. Obama

has gained in the polls in recent months, particularly among women, as Republicans vie among themselves for support from a conservative party electorate. Santorum has devoted more time to social concerns, including birth control, than Romney, who has generally stayed focused on economic issues.

Additionally, surveys indicate Americans are growing more optimistic about the overall state of the economy. Unemployment has fallen in recent months, but it is still at a relatively high 8.3 percent of the workforce.

Romney won at least 74 delegates in the three races, with 21 yet to be allocated.

That pushed his total to 646 of the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination.

Santorum has 272 delegates, Gingrich 135 and Paul 51.

NBC News apologizes for editing tape of 911 call

By Frazier Moore Associated Press

NEW YORK — NBC News has admitted it erred and has apologized for editing a recording of George Zimmerman’s call to police the night he shot Trayvon Martin.

In a news report last week, NBC’s “Today” show aired its edited version of Zimmerman’s call.

The recording viewers heard was trimmed to suggest that Zimmerman volunteered to police, with

no prompting, that Martin was black. But the portion of the tape that was cut out had the 911 dispatcher asking Zimmerman if the person who had raised his suspicion was “black, white or Hispanic,” to which Zimmerman responded, “He looks black.”

Later that night of Feb. 26, the 17-year-old Martin was fatally shot by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla. Though Martin was unarmed, Zimmerman told police he fired in self-defense

after Martin attacked him.

Questions have arisen over whether Zimmerman had been racially profiling the youth, a theory the edited version of the tape seemed to support.

In a statement on Tuesday, NBC said its investigation turned up “an error made in the production process that we deeply regret.” It provided no details.

The network promised “necessary steps” would be taken “to prevent this from happening in the future,” and apologized to viewers.

Overturned cars left streets unnavigable and flattened trucks clogged highway shoulders. Preliminary estimates were that six to 12 twisters had touched down in North Texas, senior National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Martello said.

But firm numbers would only come after survey teams checked damage today, he said.

In suburban Dallas, Lancaster police officer Paul Beck said 10 people were injured, two of them severely. Three people were injured in Arlington, including two residents of a nursing home who were taken to a hospital with minor injuries after swirling winds clipped the building, city assistant fire chief Jim Self said.

“Of course the windows were flying out, and my sister is paralyzed, so I had

to get someone to help me get her in a wheelchair to get her out of the room,” said Joy Johnston, who was visiting her 79-yearold sister at the Green Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. “It was terribly loud.”

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport canceled hundreds of flights and diverted others heading its way. Among the most stunning video was an industrial section of Dallas, where rows of empty tractor-trailers crumpled like soda cans littered a parking lot.

“The officers were watching the tornadoes form and drop,” Kennedale police Chief Tommy Williams said. “It was pretty active for a while.”

The confirmed tornadoes touched down near Royce City and Silver Springs, said National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Bishop.

April is the peak of the tornado season that runs from March until June.

Bishop said Tuesday’s storms suggest that “we’re on pace to be above normal.”

Johnston said her sister was taken to the hospital because of her delicate health. Another resident

at the nursing home, Louella Curtis, 92, said workers roused her out of bed and put her in the hall.

“The hallways were all jammed,” Johnston said.

“Everyone was trying to help each other to make a path for others. I’d say everybody was out of their rooms within 20 minutes.”

Most of Dallas was spared the full wrath of the storm. Yet in Lancaster, television helicopters panned over exposed homes without roofs and flattened buildings. Broken sheets of plywood blanketed lawns and covered rooftops.

A pastor at one Lancaster church saw debris swirling in the wind, then herded more than 30 children, some as young as newborns, into a windowless room to ride out the storm.

Nearby at the church’s school, about 60 more children hid in another windowless room near the women’s bathroom.

An entire wall of Cedar Valley Christian Academy wound up being taken out in the storm. Pastor Glenn Young said he didn’t know when the school might reopen.

“I’m a little concerned,” Young said. “This is our livelihood.”

Obama: Reagan couldn’t survive in GOP today New effort aims

By Ben Feller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In combative campaign form, President Barack Obama accused Republican leaders on Tuesday of becoming so radical and dangerously rigid that even the late Ronald Reagan, one of their most cherished heroes, could not win a GOP primary if he were running today.

Obama, in a stinging speech to an audience of news executives, had unsparing words for Republicans on Capitol Hill as well as the man he is most likely to face off against in November, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The president depicted the election as a choice between a Democratic candidate who wants to use government to help people succeed and Republicans who would abandon a basic compact with society and let most people struggle at the expense of the rich.

He framed his address around a new House Republican budget plan, saying it represents a bleak, backward “radical vision.”

“It is thinly veiled social Darwinism,” Obama said

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SPEAKS at The Associated Press luncheon during the ASNE Convention on Tuesday in Washington. to the annual meeting of The Associated Press. “It is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to work for it. ... It is a prescription for decline.”

Republicans shot back that the president had offered a deeply partisan speech devoid of accountability.

Campaigning outside Milwaukee just before Obama spoke, Romney said that the president “of course will look for someone else to blame.” The Republican Party chairman,

Reince Priebus, said Obama had abandoned his hopeand-change campaign slogan of four years ago. Said Priebus: “All along, he’s been a cold, calculating, bigspending politician.”

Obama’s speech removed any doubt that the general election was under way for the president, despite his professed reluctance to weigh in before Republicans settle on a nominee.

He took a couple of digs at Romney, playing up the Republican presidential front-runner’s support for a budget-slashing plan the House has approved.

That plan is doomed to die in the Senate, but Obama held it up as a sign of the disaster that would come if Republicans got their way: poor children not getting food, grandparents unable to afford nursing homes, more airline flights getting canceled and weather forecasts becoming less reliable.

By invoking Reagan, a beloved Republican, Obama sought to take GOP charges of Obama extremism and turn them back on the party. He cited a presidential debate in the current campaign in which the entire field of Republican candidates rejected the idea of $10 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax hikes if that were offered in a debt-reduction deal.

“Ronald Reagan, who, as I recall, is not accused of being a tax-and-spend socialist, understood repeatedly that when the deficit started to get out of control — that for him to make a deal — he would have to propose both spending cuts and tax increases,” Obama said. “He could not get through a Republican primary today.”

James Murdoch steps down as BSkyB chairman

By Jill Lawless and Robert Barr Associated Press

LONDON — Once his father’s heir apparent, James Murdoch stepped down Tuesday as chairman of British Sky Broadcasting, surrendering one of the biggest jobs in the Murdoch media empire in a bid to distance the broadcaster from a deepening phone hacking scandal.

James Murdoch’s credibility and competence have come under severe ques-

tioning because of the phone hacking crisis and alleged bribery by British newspapers while he was in charge, and he faces further questioning in the scandal.

“I am aware that James Murdoch my role as chairman could become a lightning rod for BSkyB, and I believe that my resignation will help to en-

sure that there is no false conflation with events at a separate organization,” the 39-year-old Murdoch said.

Tuesday’s announcement was just the latest in a string of setbacks for James Murdoch, who has been shedding titles since the scandal heated up.

At the end of February, he quit as chairman of News International, the company’s troubled British newspaper subsidiary, a move cast as allowing Rupert Murdoch’s young-

er son to focus on News Corp.’s extensive TV holdings. He has also stepped down from the boards of auctioneer Sotheby’s and the pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline PLC. Nicholas Ferguson, formerly deputy chairman, moved up to replace the younger Murdoch as chairman at BSkyB. Tom Mockridge, who recently replaced James Murdoch at the helm of News International, gained a new title of deputy chairman of BSkyB.

AN OAKLAND POLICE OFFICER WALKS OUTSIDE OF OIKOS UNIVERSITY in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday. A South Korean-born student expelled from a small Christian university and upset about being teased over his poor English skills opened fire at the school, going from room to room in a rampage that left six students and a secretary dead, police said Tuesday.

California attack suspect upset about expulsion, teasing

By Marcus Wohlsen and Terry Collins Associated Press

OAKLAND, CALIF. — One Goh’s life was on the skids even before he became the suspect in the nation’s biggest mass school shooting since Virginia Tech.

He was chased by creditors. He grieved the death of his brother. In January, he was expelled from Oikos University, a small Christian school where he studied nursing. And, police say, he was angry.

Goh, who was born in South Korea, told them he felt disrespected by teasing about his poor English skills at the Oakland school — a college founded as a safe place where Korean immigrants could adjust to a new country and build new careers.

So, he bought a gun, and a few weeks later took his revenge, opening fire at the college on Monday in a rampage that left six students and a receptionist dead and wounded three

“

We have seven people who didn’t deserve to die and three others wounded because someone who couldn’t deal with the pressures of life.”

— Police Chief Howard Jordan more, authorities said.

“It’s very, very sad,” police Chief Howard Jordan said. “We have seven people who didn’t deserve to die and three others wounded because someone who couldn’t deal with the pressures of life.”

Police have released little background information about Goh, other than to say he had become a U.S. citizen.

A nursing professor who taught him said Goh would often tell a story about beating someone up who tried to mug him in San Francisco. Romie John Delariman said Goh would say that he picked

fights at a park when he was bored.

“Sometimes he would brag that he was capable of hurting people,” Delariman told The Associated Press. “He said he was too old to go school with all the young people, and he said all his classmates were mean to him.”

Delariman said Goh suddenly stopped attending his classes in October, after being a regular participant in twice-weekly clinical courses.

Since his arrest at a supermarket near the school soon after the shooting, the details of his life that have emerged suggest a man struggling to deal with personal and family difficulties over the past 10 years.

Though records list an Oakland address for Goh in 2004, he lived for most of the decade in Virginia.

That state was the site of the Virginia Tech massacre that killed 32 people in 2007. That gunman was a mentally ill student who turned the gun on himself.

After years of offering news for free, a growing number of newspapers around the country have launched so-called metered pay walls, which give readers a few free stories online before requiring them to sign up for a digital subscription. About 300 newspapers have adopted such plans, which usually give subscribers some mix of Web, smartphone and tablet computer access.

Fewer than a quarter of the nation’s 1,350 daily newspapers charge for online access so far, but industry executives are increasingly optimistic that pay walls can boost digital revenue.

U.S. automakers post best monthly sales since 2007

By Dee-Ann Durbin Associated Press

DETROIT — The recovery in the American auto industry has moved into the fast lane.

With gas prices at nearly $4, smaller cars like the Ford Focus, Nissan Versa and Fiat 500 flew off dealer lots in March and gave U.S. car makers their best monthly sales in almost five years.

Larger vehicles sold well, too, offering more evidence of growing confidence in the economic recovery. Small businesses, farmers and others took advantage of big promotions to buy pickups.

In all, Americans bought 1.4 million cars and trucks in March, up 13 percent from the same month a year ago. Edmunds.com said was the most vehicles sold since August 2007.

General Motors, Chrysler and Toyota all reported double-digit gains over last March. Nissan and Hyundai set company records. Only Honda Motor Co. reported a decline.

If car sales stay at the same rate as March, they would end the year at 14.4 million, up from 12.8 million in 2011. While that’s still below the 17 million of the booming mid2000s, it’s far higher than the industry’s downturn

in 2009, when 10.6 million vehicles were sold.

Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry analysis at car-buying site TrueCar.com, expects continued strong sales this year, thanks to compelling new products, improvements in consumer confidence and the stock market and low interest rates.

“The good news is that the recovery has legs,” he said. He expects total sales of 14.5 million in 2012.

That would be a faster pace than many were predicting at the start of the year, and it builds on a strong performance in January and February. As recently as October, J.D. Power and Associates lowered its 2012 forecast from 14.1 million vehicles to 13.8 million because of high gas prices and continuing economic uncertainty.

The auto sector’s recovery is helping the entire economy.

“Auto is important because it creates so many other jobs,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University. “Think about the things that go into an auto: glass, textiles, rubber. There’s a lot of financing activity. We are talking about a very significant portion of job creation.”

Special concerns The state should consider taking some additional time to consider the managed care needs of people with developmental disabilities.

I

t’s good to know that state legislators still are trying to address the concerns that families and advocates of developmentally disabled Kansans have about a new managed care system that is part of the governor’s plan to reform Medicaid.

These advocates have accepted the idea of putting medical services for the developmentally disabled under the proposed KanCare managed care system, but they don’t believe the plan can appropriately handle other long-term care needs of this population. Although other advocacy groups are worried about the speed with which the KanCare system is set to be implemented, the developmental disability community, including the local Cottonwood Inc., has special concerns about the impact the system will have on longterm, sometimes around-the-clock, care arrangements that have been carefully tailored to meet individual needs.

Other states that have tried to implement plans similar to the one envisioned for Kansas have experienced various problems, including delays in treatment and provider reimbursements. Although a bipartisan group of legislators has sought to slow the implementation of KanCare, state officials are moving ahead with plans to turn management of the state’s Medicaid program over to three managed care companies on Jan. 1, 2013.

To help address concerns about the shift, a bill has been introduced that would establish a legislative oversight committee for KanCare. Last week, Rep. Jim Ward, DWichita, also tried to amend that bill to add a provision that would remove people with developmental disabilities from KanCare and allow them to continue to be served by their current networks. Although both Republican and Democratic legislators spoke in favor of Ward’s amendment, the entire bill was referred back to committee last week before the Kansas House could vote on it.

However, some legislators see broad support for keeping people with developmental disabilities out of the KanCare plan and say they will pursue those efforts when the Legislature returns April 25.

Legislators are right to try to make sure the concerns of the developmental disability community are addressed. Even if the state moves ahead with its ambitious timetable for implementing KanCare, it may make sense to work out some of the kinks in the system before trying to apply it to this vulnerable population.

A rush to — or from — judgment?

Once upon a time in the late ’90s, a certain black newswoman was awarded her own column. She wrote 12 pieces, three of them about race. That was too many for her boss, who told her to tone it down.

Confused, she went to a white colleague for advice. He explained that, being black, she lacked the judgment to decide if a given racial matter merited a column. In the future, he suggested, if she saw some racial issue she thought worth writing about, she should bring it to him and let him decide.

That paternalistic offer is brought to mind by a recent on-air statement from Tamara Holder, a contributor to Fox “News,” about the killing of Trayvon Martin. “The blacks,” she told Sean Hannity, “are making this more of a racial issue than it should be.”

One is reminded that the more things change, the more they don’t. One wonders how much of a racial issue Trayvon’s death should be, in Ms. Holder’s esteemed opinion.

There is a storyline coalescing here among conservative pundits. From Holder to Hannity to William Bennett to my colleague Glenn Garvin, it says there’s been a “rush to judgment” against George Zimmerman, the man who stalked and killed an un-

If rushing to judgment suggests a reflexiveness that ill serves the cause of justice, refusing to judge suggests a moral cowardice that does the same.” armed 17-year-old black kid he found suspicious.

Candidly, there is good reason to fear such a rush. Anyone who remembers the Tawana Brawley hoax and the Duke lacrosse case, among others, knows many African-Americans have proven prone to jumping to conclusions of racism even when the evidence thereof is dubious. Some black folks see racial mistreatment everywhere, always.

But some white folks see it nowhere — ever. That’s a corollary truth that seems apropos to this moment. Indeed,

when a black man named Abner Louima was maimed in an act of broomstick sodomy by New York police, Holder’s friend Hannity accused Louima of lying. Don’t rush to judgment, he warned.

For some people, that is less sage advice than default response. The Rodney King beating, said former Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates, “did look like racism,” but wasn’t. “This is not a racial issue,” said a school official in Louisiana after six black kids were charged with attempted murder for a schoolyard fight with a white classmate.

And so on.

There is a line — subjective, but there just the same — between avoiding a rush to judgment and avoiding judgment itself. If rushing to judgment suggests a reflexiveness that ill serves the cause of justice, refusing to judge suggests a moral cowardice that does the same.

Where this case is concerned, it is telling that judgments made weeks after the fact are being called rushed.

The rapid response nature of media being what it is, we make judgments everyday based on much less than five weeks of reflection. We do this on matters of economics, war, politics, scandal.

But, of course, race is different. It scares some of us, particularly when it requires them to concede the continued existence of injustices they would rather deny.

They are aided in this denial by a naive belief that a thing can’t truly be racist unless it is wearing a pointed hood or spouting epithets.

But racial bias is seldom so conveniently obvious. More often, it lurks behind smiles and handshakes, unknown sometimes even to its host.

More often it is deduced, not declared, seen in excuses that don’t add up, justifications that make no sense, logic that is not.

As in Zimmerman’s decision to stalk Trayvon. Five weeks later, for all the back and forth, push and pull, no one has yet explained what the boy did that made him suspicious. Five weeks later, the initial conclusion still feels like the right one: Trayvon did not seem suspicious because of what he did but because of what he was.

So fine, let us not rush to judgment. But let’s not rush from it, either.

Imposed beliefs

Case sets strip-search precedent Now that March Madness has come to an end, it is the season to begin watching the Supreme Court of the United States with great attention. Last week, the court heard three days of argument on the Affordable Health Care Act, and on Monday the court released its decision in the case of Florence v. Board of Freeholders, a New Jersey case concerned with the constitutional limits on when corrections officials may do strip searches of people in custody. The decision in the health care case undoubtedly is going to take some time, and how the justices will vote on the various issues presented by the case is still difficult to determine. However, the decision in the Florence case is now published and its facts and reasoning are important.

Albert Florence was driving when stopped by police. When the police discovered there was an outstanding warrant for Florence, they took him into custody and placed him in the county jail. In fact, the warrant, which was based on Florence’s failure to pay a fine, was out of date. The fine had been paid, but the court computer system had not yet updated his file.

Nonetheless, Florence spent six days in two county jails.

While there, he was subjected to multiple strip searches. Florence sued Burlington County, N.J., because he believed that he had been treated in this way because he was black and that his constitutional rights had been violated.

In a 5-4 decision, strictly along political lines (Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy in the majority; Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Ginsburg in the minority) the court ruled that correctional officials could, indeed, conduct strip searches

Mike Hoeflich

“

The Supreme Court decision in the Florence case now … makes it possible for jail officials to do strip searches of anyone who is to be put into the general jail population.”

of people in custody even though the reason for their being in custody was a minor crime, such as failure to pay a fine and even though such custody was temporary.

Although the decision was 5-4, the majority was not in total agreement; as a result the decision was limited. First, the strip search can only be visual; correctional officers cannot touch prisoners although they can ask prisoners to move to aid the visual search. More important, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito said that they could join the majority opinion only if it was limited to cases in which the strip search was done as a preliminary step before putting the prisoner into the general prison population. Thus, the majority opinion does not authorize strip searches when a prisoner is to be kept secluded from the general jail population.

Justice Thomas, apparently, did not want this limit.

Strip searches are quite intrusive and humiliating. For most people they constitute a traumatic invasion of personal privacy. Because of this a num-

ber of lower federal courts had decided that they could not be done routinely to prisoners who presented no risk of violence, contagion or drug possession.

The Supreme Court decision in the Florence case now reverses these lower court holdings and makes it possible for jail officials to do strip searches of anyone who is to be put into the general jail population.

Thus, if a student is arrested for drunken and disorderly behavior on Massachusetts Street on a Saturday night and taken to jail, that student may be strip searched by jail personnel. If, like Florence, a woman is taken into custody because of an outstanding warrant, even a warrant issued for failure to pay parking fines, that woman can be strip searched by jail personnel.

While the Supreme Court’s decision in the Florence case permits correctional personnel to conduct routine strip searches even of people who present no risk, it does not require these searches. In practice that means that local communities can adopt policies that would prohibit such an expansion of the use of strip searches.

I would hope that Lawrence and Douglas County authorities will quickly adopt such limitations to assure the local population that they will not be needlessly traumatized and humiliated.

Those folks who object to the use of whole body scanners at airports as an invasion of privacy would be well advised to look closely at the Florence decision because its potential negative impact on privacy is far greater.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: The Kansas House, on March 29, passed legislation that would allow a religious defense to discrimination against gays. The bill is called the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act. In many times and in many places, religious beliefs have been cited as justification for bias and discrimination against Jews, blacks, Indians, Muslims, Mexicans, women, the deaf, the physically and developmentally disabled, etc.

Each of us is entitled to our own beliefs. None of us are entitled to impose those beliefs on others.

The proper role of democratic government is to protect all citizens from unjust behavior. Authoritarian societies (e.g., the Soviet Union) write unjust discrimination (read bigotry) into law. Is the state of Kansas en route to becoming an authoritarian society?

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Amazing ‘11-12 Jayhawks came far NEW ORLEANS — Thomas Robinson left his feet and kept going higher, higher, higher than anyone could have expected an athlete to go so late in such a physical game. He grabbed the defensive rebound and secured it with two hands this time.

Did he really go up that high? Did I just see that? Yes and yes.

The rebound, one of 17 for Robinson in Monday night’s 67-59 national-title-game loss to Kentucky inside the rat-infested Superdome, so perfectly symbolized the 2011-2012 Kansas Jayhawks.

Did they really win an eighth consecutive Big 12 title with a 16-2 record? Did they really make it all the way to the title game? Yes and yes.

Robinson, a unanimous first-team All-American, was the best player on a team to remember, a relentless competitor on a squad that kept driving expectations upward.

Through bloodshot eyes, the players talked about how much it hurt to fall a game short, but they knew they cobbled together a remarkable season, knew how much they had grown.

Junior guard Elijah Johnson came so far in so many areas in his first season as a starter. He grew more aggressive and so undercontrol on drives to the hoop, finishing strong by protecting the ball with his body. He showed an eagerness to take the big shot and made many of them. And he became so much more comfortable during interviews.

(The skills student-athletes hone fielding questions in the NCAA-mandated open locker rooms will serve them well throughout life).

Johnson referenced the team’s attitude coming out of the final media timeout, with KU on a 6-0 run and trailing by nine with 3:52 left and Robinson heading to the free-throw line for two shots. Robinson, such a strong force, the more the game started to test the stamina of others, would make both shots to stretch the run to 8-0 and shrink the deficit to seven points.

“We all came out of the timeout smiling,” Johnson said. “No one could tell us that we were going to lose, except for the scoreboard.

That was our mindset. We smiled and realized that, ‘We only have four minutes left to play with each other.’

We just said, ‘Hey, if they’re going to beat us, they’re going to remember us. They’re going to feel the last of us.’”

The more enjoyable a season, the deeper it plays out, the tougher it is for players to kiss it goodbye with a loss. Johnson snapped off a nice analogy to describe the feeling.

“When you get a puppy and you watch that puppy grow up and it dies, that hurts,” Johnson said. “To see something grow up in front of you, to see something develop in front of you, that hurts, especially something that wasn’t supposed to develop into what it developed into. ... I’m proud of this team. I love this team. I’ll remember this team forever.”

He is far from alone in that sentiment.

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TELLS THE CROWD HOW PROUD HE IS OF THE 2011-2012 JAYHAWKS during the return ceremony from the NCAA championship in New Orleans on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU coach proud of, thankful for maximum-effort squad

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self will never forget his gritty 2011-12 Kansas University basketball team — one that went 32-7, won the school’s eighth-straight Big 12 title and placed second to Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament.

“For me personally, there’s never been a team that cared more, tried more, liked each other more, allowed us to coach them more,” said Self, thankful for the effort not only in a 67-59 loss to Kentucky in Monday’s national championship game, but throughout the entire season.

“That team (Kentucky) has six first-round draft picks, three lottery picks. We’re out there fighting our butt off. I love this team.”

“

For me personally, there’s never been a team that cared more, tried more, liked each other more, allowed us to coach them more.”

— Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self It’s a team that had precious little depth. Self used seven to eight players in his rotation most of the season.

“We caught a couple breaks this year. We were healthy.

We did not have a lot of depth so it was important to stay healthy,” Self said of a team that he said had a lot of “fight.”

“As a player, you could always say, ‘Could I give 5

LHS SOCCER FALLS

percent more or 10 percent more?’ I don’t think the kids on this team can say that,” stated Self, convinced they gave it their all.

Junior guard Elijah Johnson concocted a nickname for the national-runner-up squad.

“We’re the Comeback Kids,” Johnson said after KU sliced an 18-point deficit to five in crunch time.

It’s an appropriate moniker considering the Jayhawks led at halftime in only one game in the NCAAs — against No. 15-seed Detroit Mercy. The Jayhawks, who were ahead of Detroit by 10 after 20 minutes, trailed Purdue by six, North Carolina State by one, was tied with North Carolina, trailed Ohio State by nine and Kentucky by 14.

“I wouldn’t feel right if we

just blew a team out,” said Johnson, heir apparent to Tyshawn Taylor as starting point guard next season. The 6-4 junior from Las Vegas said he’d definitely be returning for his senior year following the game.

“I never give up on our team. I feel I know our team.

I know we’ll always go on a run. I feel I can predict it. Ask Niko,” Johnson added, referring to sophomore guard Niko Roberts. “I always tell Niko to relax, that we’re going to come back. Go ask him. He’ll tell you.”

Roberts, a 5-11 walk-on out of Huntington, N.Y., backed Johnson’s claims.

Firebirds finally grab first win, in extras against SM South

OLATHE NORTH SOPHOMORE KENEDY ORTON (7) AND LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR LAURA FALKENSTIEN FIGHT for position during their soccer match Tuesday at LHS. The Lions lost, 3-1. Story on page 4B.

Free State High’s baseball scoreboard looked like something only a computer could love.

FSHS and visiting Shawnee Mission South put up nothing but ones and zeros — lots and lots of zeros — for 11 innings Tuesday night before Free State lit up a final one.

The Firebirds battled the Raiders to a rather binary 2-1, 11-inning victory in a game in which neither team scored in the middle seven innings despite several chances.

“We finally got one,” Firebird sophomore Joe Dineen said after driving in the winning run with an infield grounder in the 11th.

The victory was Free State’s first in six tries this season, a bit of a shock to a tradition-rich program that counts nine Sunflower League titles since 1999 and a state crown, in 2006, in its history.

FREE STATE PITCHER J.D. PROCHASKA CONFERS with catcher Lee McMahon during a timeout against Shawnee Mission South on Tuesday at FSHS. “It’s about time,” Dineen said. “(Losing) does make you press a little bit, but it just makes you play harder.”

In many ways, FSHS didn’t look like a one-win

team Tuesday. Starter J.D. Prochaska and winner Sam Hearnen (1-0) allowed just six hits over the 11 innings.

NCAA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: BAYLOR 80, NOTRE DAME 61

Lady Bears complete 40-0 season DENVER (AP) — Brittney Griner and Baylor left no doubt they’re head and shoulders above any team in the country.

In fact, they’re perfect.

Griner had 26 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks to lead Baylor to a dominating 80-61 victory over Notre Dame in the NCAA women’s basketball championship on Tuesday night, capping a 40-0 season for the Lady Bears.

They became the seventh women’s team to run through a season unbeaten and the first in NCAA history to win 40 games.

It was the second national championship for Baylor, which also won a title in 2005.

Baylor did it in a nearly wireto-wire victory, finishing a season in which anything less than bringing a title back to Waco would have been a huge disappointment.

And as she so often does, the 6-foot-8 Griner helped the Lady Bears take control. Every time Notre Dame made a run in the second half to cut into the deficit, Griner had an answer.

She showed a wide array of

BAYLOR’S BRITTNEY GRINER, right, pulls a rebound away from Notre Dame’s Natalie Novosel on Tuesday in Denver. post moves, hitting turnaround jumpers and hooks that the Irish had no way to stop — even when they collapsed around her. “Brittany Griner comes to work every day,� Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “A lot of great players think they’re all that and

they half go through drills and they come to practice and they dog it. That child comes to work and brings her work pail every day.�

Notre Dame fell short in the title game for the second straight season. The Irish lost to Texas A&M by six points last season. Notre Dame was trying to do something that no other team had done in the NCAA era by knocking off an unbeaten squad in the title game.

Instead, the Irish became the third team to lose in back-toback championship games, joining Tennessee (2003 and 2004) and Auburn, which dropped three straight (1988, ’89 and ’90).

Coach Muffet McGraw’s senior-heavy crew finished the season having gotten the best of rival Connecticut — the Irish won the Big East regular-season title and defeated the Huskies in three of four meetings, including the national semifinal.

But like every team this year, Notre Dame couldn’t solve Baylor and the most dominant player in women’s basketball.

Griner, selected The Associ-

ated Press player of the year, also was named most outstanding player of the tournament. “We wouldn’t be here without my team,� the junior said. “All the awards — none of that means anything. If I don’t have my team here, we can’t get this.�

Skylar Diggins did all she could to keep the Irish (36-4) in the game, scoring 20 points.

But she got little help. Senior Natalie Novosel had five points, going 0-for-11 from the field. Devereaux Peters, also playing in her final game, was saddled with foul trouble because of Griner.

She only had seven points.

THURSDAY

By Jim Litke The Associated Press

It’s time to bury the term “student-athlete.� It died at 10:42 p.m. Monday, just about the time the confetti falling from the roof of the Superdome landed on coach John Calipari’s hair and the players from Kentucky’s NBA development academy gathered at a far corner of the court to collect a trophy many of them will need a campus map just to find next year.

The real joke is on college basketball, or at least the college part of it. The Kansas team the Wildcats beat handily, 67-59, never had more than a puncher’s chance. “They did a great job,�

Jayhawks coach Bill Self said afterward. “They’re playing with pros. That didn’t hurt.�

And not just any pros.

Kentucky had the surefire No. 1 pick in next summer’s NBA draft in freshman Anthony Davis, who was named most outstanding player after grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots, and a top-three selection in another freshman, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Sophomore Terrence Jones is a likely mid-first-round pick, and three more Wildcats — freshman Marquis Teague, sophomore Doron Lamb and Darius Miller, one of only two seniors — could be playing in the pros by the time the leaves hit the ground in Lexington next fall.

Say this much for Calipari: He never hides his ambition. He doesn’t have to. What amounted to a graduation ceremony for his latest class of “one-anddones� took place in full view of NCAA President Mark Emmert, whose seat at center court was one of the best in the house.

Emmert, sadly, has seen it before and is just as powerless to stop it now as he was in 2005, when a new NBA collective bargaining agreement designed to stop kids from turning pro straight out of high school inadvertently made a mockery of the college game. “I said this a couple years ago and everybody got crazy when we had five guys drafted in the first round. This is one of the biggest moments, if not the biggest, in Kentucky history,� Calipari said. “The reason was, I knew now that other kids would look and say, ‘You got to go there.’ What I’m hoping is there’s six first-rounders on this team. We were the first program to have five, let’s have six.�

And just think, you don’t even need a college degree to do that kind of math.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS’ PIERRE THOMAS TALKS TO A REPORTER during a presentation Tuesday in New York. The NFL and Nike unveiled new uniforms.

NFL unveils new uniforms for all 32 teams NEW YORK — For fans worried that Nike was going to give their favorite NFL team’s uniform an extreme makeover, full-blown Oregon style, no need to fret.

Ben Roethelisberger still looked very much like a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nobody would have mistaken Jermichael Finley for anything but a Green Bay Packer. And the Browns’ jersey wore by Joe Haden was still brown.

Going for a slightly sleeker but very familiar look, the NFL unveiled its new uniforms Tuesday.

Nike, the league’s latest apparel maker, stayed away from the wildly experimental designs it uses with the University of Oregon, get-ups that sometimes make it hard to identify the Ducks. “You look good, you play good,� said Finley, Green Bay’s standout tight end. “Hopefully that kicks into effect this season.�

Nike put on a gridiron-themed fashion show at a Brooklyn film studio, with a player from each of the 32 franchises modeling his team’s new threads.

No, Big Ben and Brian Urlacher from the Bears didn’t walk the runway.

Instead, after a handful of Nike big wigs worked their way through half-hour presentation that could have been dubbed “The Making of the Uniforms,� the players walked out onto an artificial turf-covered mini-field, suited up from shoes to shoulder pads and lined up in four rows. After the house lights went up, their helmets went on.

There were no surprises.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said the goal of the redesign was to combine “tradition with innovation.� “Some teams will lean more toward the traditions,� Goodell said. “But you can see here you can put innovation into the uniform without changing the look, necessarily, about it.�

NFL

Saints hearings set Thursday NEW YORK — The NFL says the New Orleans Saints, head coach Sean Payton, assistant Joe Vitt and GM Mickey Loomis will have their appeals hearing Thursday for punishment connected to the team’s bounty system.

League spokesman Greg Aiello says in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams did not appeal his indefinite suspension.

Earlier, Payton’s agent said they heard from the league office for the first time Tuesday and were “trying to schedule a mutually convenient time for the proceedings.�

Payton’s suspension for all of next season originally was supposed to begin last Sunday.

Loomis was suspended for eight games, Vitt for six, and the Saints were fined $500,000 and docked two second-round draft picks.

Lions’ Fairley arrested MOBILE, ALA. — Authorities say Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley has been arrested in Mobile, Ala. on a charge of possessing marijuana. Mobile police spokeswoman Ashley Rains says Fairley was arrested Tuesday after citizens called to complain that his Cadillac Escalade was speeding.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Syracuse, San Diego St. paired SAN DIEGO — Organizers say San Diego State and Syracuse will play in the inaugural Battle on the Midway basketball game on the flight deck of the USS Midway Museum on Nov. 9.

The Midway has been berthed on San Diego Bay since 2004.

NU center Diaz won’t return LINCOLN, NEB. — New Nebraska coach Tim Miles has announced that center Jorge Brian Diaz will not return for his senior season with the Cornhuskers.

Diaz missed the last 14 games of the season because of chronic soreness in his feet. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16 games.

The 6-foot-11, 244-pound Diaz started 65 of his 81 career games at Nebraska and averaged 9.4 points and 4.2 rebounds.

Miles said Tuesday that Diaz planned to return to his native Puerto Rico.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Petrino back at practice FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. — Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino returned to practice Tuesday, hours after being released from the hospital following a weekend motorcycle crash.

Petrino, speaking for the first time since his Sunday night accident, arrived at Razorback Stadium wearing a neck brace and with multiple abrasions and red spots showing on his nose and face. The 51-year-old says he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which occurred on Arkansas Highway 16 in Madison County — about 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville.

Weis boots DT Green from team

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis announced Tuesday via a press release that defensive lineman Julius Green had been dismissed from the team for violating team rules.

The announcem e n t Green came following the Jayhawks’ fourth of 15 spring practices. It was the second day in which the Jayhawks were allowed to practice in full pads.

Kansas will return to practice Thursday for another day of spring drills.

Green, a 6-foot-5, 265-pound red-shirt freshman from Houston, joined the Jayhawks as a defensive end last spring and red-shirted to add

weight. Last week, when Weis released KU’s first spring depth chart, Green appeared as a secondstring guy but was listed at defensive tackle.

After struggling to find solid play along the defensive line throughout the 2011 season, the Jayhawks have added several new defensive linemen to the roster in the offseason, both tackles and ends.

Weis attends title game Weis returned to Lawrence for practice Tuesday afternoon one night after traveling to New Orleans to take in the national championship basketball game between Kansas and Kentucky at the Superdome.

Weis, who has made it clear that he is a huge fan of college hoops, showed up for Monday’s title game decked out in KU gear and did an interview with KU radio broadcasters during the pregame show.

KU baseball falls, 7-3, to Creighton Bluejays J-W Staff Reports

OMAHA, NEB. — The Kansas University baseball team gave up seven extrabase hits and lost 7-3 to Creighton on Tuesday at TD Ameritrade Ballpark.

Kansas used five different pitchers in the game as Creighton slowly built its lead hit by hit. The Bluejays and Jayhawks were tied in the fourth inning, before a double-double-single sequence opened Creighton’s advantage to 4-2. KU’s Tucker Tharp hit his first home run of the year to narrow the gap to 4-3, but the Bluejays ended the game on three unanswered runs.

Kansas pitcher Colin Toalson, who surrendered two runs on four hits, took the loss. KU starter Drew Morovick pitched two innings for just two hits, but Creighton scored two unearned to start the game.

SMNW slams LHS baseball

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Some nights on the diamond are rough enough to make baseball seem a little more like football.

That’s how Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll felt, anyway, after the Lions got clocked by Shawnee Mission Northwest, 17-12, at home Tuesday.

Stoll couldn’t get an old quote from former Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes out of his head.

“There’s nothing that cleanses the soul like getting the hell kicked out of you,” Hayes once said.

Added Stoll: “I’d say we’re pretty clean after tonight.”

The Cougars (3-1) not only pounded LHS pitchers Adam Rea, Devin Garcia and Cameron Solko for 17 hits, but they made the most of the Lions’ six errors. Four of those LHS miscues came in the top of the second inning, when SMNW sent 13 batters to the plate and scored eight runs off of four hits and two walks, securing what proved to be an insurmountable 11-2 lead.

It was a brutal stretch.

“We pitched to the letters and got hammered,” Stoll said. “We just did some things that are very uncharacteristic.

And that’s on me. They’re not ready to play, so I’ll take the blame on that one.”

Suffering through such a long, unsuccessful inning, senior LHS center fielder CJ Roush said, really brought the players down.

“But good teams find a way to battle back,” Roush said, “and hopefully by the

Lawrence (3-3) did respond with a pair of runs in the second and plated three more in the third, when Roush drove in two runs with a triple down the right-field line before scoring on a botched relay.

After SMNW scored three in the third, the Lions trailed 14-6 before they put together two scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth.

But even a brief return to normalcy in the field didn’t do much good, because LHS couldn’t score in the bottom of either inning, and SMNW put three more runs on the board in the sixth to

ing the same uniforms, but Lawrence High’s girls soccer players just couldn’t get much else going in unison Tuesday night.

The Lions failed to connect as a unit throughout a defensive-dominated home match with Olathe North, and fell, 3-1.

LHS sophomore Addison Campbell scored her team’s only goal in the first half, but little else went the team’s way, coach Janna Kepler said.

“It just felt like we were on our heels the entire game,” the firstyear Lawrence coach explained. “It didn’t seem like we came out wanting to win the game. It was a game that was very much a possible win. They (the Eagles) finished just one place ahead of us last year in the conference, but for some reason, just as a whole, we weren’t present.”

Ella Magerl, a junior Lions defender, said there were too many problems — specifically a lack of continuity — for LHS (1-2) to get a victory.

“We had our defense, our midfield and our forwards and it was all separate. We weren’t working together and we weren’t connecting,” Magerl said.

“We just weren’t playing our game. We weren’t on top of it. We needed to wake up and get some fight in us.”

The most disappointing part of the Lions’ second straight loss, Kepler added, was the lack of energy.

“The entire team seemed to be, I don’t know, like a half-second behind the entire game,” she said.

Lawrence had played much better a week before, in its 5-0 seasonopening win, Magerl said.

Just seven days before, the Lions had played with more confidence and showed more strength

— Lawrence High soccer coach Janna Kepler than they did against ONorth.

In the first half, though, Magerl said there at least was a glimpse of a better brand of soccer — the kind LHS wants to play for much longer stretches in the future.

“We had about like 10 minutes in the game where we were pushing them and they were on their heels, and they were getting nervous, and we were attacking,” Magerl said. “When that happened we were making good passes, connecting, being smart with the ball.”

Kepler, too, said there were some good signs, but even those couldn’t be brought up without the coach being reminded of another shortcoming.

“I think we made some connections through the center today that we weren’t making before,” she said, “but our outlet passes to the wing were not there.”

The Lions’ strength, Kepler said, is on the outside, and they failed to take advantage of that.

While the two-goal loss was a step backward, the coach said LHS will have to keep building.

“Playing as a team, as a unit, it takes a long time just to even get to that flow,” she said.

It will be up to the players, Magerl added, to make sure that eventually happens.

“I think we’re getting there,” the junior defender said. “Obviously there’s room for improvement, but we just need to keep building up and not take a step back.”

At 7 p.m. Thursday, Lawrence plays at Shawnee Mission Northwest.

extend its ever-growing lead to 17-6.

“All we wanted to do was stop the bleeding as soon as possible,” Roush said. “We did that for a couple innings, but then they scored again. We just couldn’t get out of our hole.”

The Lions managed to score three runs in both the sixth and seventh innings — Matthew Sutliffe had an RBI-double in the sixth and Trevor Champagne singled to score Roush in the seventh — but it was just enough to avoid losing by the 10run rule, not enough for a comeback.

Although SMNW coach Richard Kuzydym told Stoll after the game that

LHS is a good team, and Stoll agreed with him, the Lions’ coach said they can’t give up eight runs in an inning and expect to be successful.

“If we choose not to learn from this, we’re gonna be in a lot of trouble,” Stoll said, describing himself as neither worried nor happy. “But this is a pretty resilient bunch of kids, man. And I got a lot of confidence in them.”

At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Lawrence plays at Olathe South.

One of Free State High softball coach Lee Ice’s biggest concerns heading into the Firebirds’ season opener was how his two sophomore pitchers would react.

As it turns out, that was among the least of his worries.

Although the two young pitchers yielded 26 hits in the opening doubleheader, the Firebirds’ seven errors on the night proved far more devastating.

“I’m disappointed,” Ice said after the Firebirds fell to Olathe South, 8-2 and 15-0, on Tuesday at the FSHS softball field. “I know they’re better than that. But one led to another led to another … ” Case in point: the seventh inning of the opener.

Olathe South led just 2-0 heading into the seventh but took advantage of three FSHS errors to turn a squeaker into a laugher.

“It was a 2-0 game against one of the top five teams in the state,” Ice said. “It should have been 2-0 going into the bottom of the seventh, and instead it’s 8-0. Against good teams like that, you have to play fundamentally sound, and we didn’t.”

It seemed to carry over into the nightcap, when FSHS made seven errors and surrendered 12 hits, which led to a game shortened to five innings by run rule.

It was an abrupt ending to a late start for the Firebirds who began the season a week later than normal intentionally as Ice tried to accommo-

date for usually inclement early-season weather and conflicts with the school’s variety show, “Encore.”

“We had 21 practices,” Ice said. “I felt we were ready. But something came up missing. We kept it up for six innings, then something went away.”

Ice chalks some of it up to disparity in the teams’ experience. While OSouth (2-0) returned nearly all of its players from the Sunflower League’s runner-up squad of a year ago and starts eight seniors, the Firebirds are young, especially in the circle.

Tuesday’s pitchers — Meredith Morris in the opener and Kaley Delg in Game Two — are sophomores who were slated for junior-varsity duty before being forced to play when a pair of junior pitchers opted not to play softball as seniors.

“I was worried about them coming in,” Ice said.

“But I’m pleased with what they did today. The only problem was, we put them in position they had to throw too many pitches. They did a tremendous job. That was a big question mark for us coming in. Now the big question mark is, why can’t we catch it and throw it?”

Roundup Heat 99, 76ers 93 MIAMI — LeBron James scored a season-high 41 points, Mario Chalmers added 19, and Miami clinched a playoff spot with a win over Philadelphia.

James scored 14 straight Miami points in the fourth quarter, helping the Heat finish off a four-game season sweep of Philadelphia and extend their homecourt winning streak to 16 games. Chris Bosh scored 17 points and Udonis Haslem grabbed 11 rebounds for Miami, which won despite Dwyane Wade sitting out with a bruised left knee.

Spurs 125, Cavaliers 90 CLEVELAND — Danny Green scored 19 points against a Cleveland team that released him last season, Tony Parker added 19, and San Antonio coasted to its eighth straight victory on Tuesday night.

Green played his rookie season for Cleveland, which cut him at the end of training camp in 2011.

He’s found a new home with the Spurs, who built a 22-point lead in the first half and rested Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for most of the fourth quarter while pushing their lead to 37.

Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 13 points for the Cavs in his return after missing one game with a sprained right shoulder.

Cleveland has lost eight in a row, 11 of 12 and been outscored by 72 points in its past two home games.

Antawn Jamison led the Cavs with 15 points. The Spurs began a 16-gamesin-23-days stretch to finish the lockout-shortened regular season, a grueling finish before the playoffs for any team, and especially for one with so many veterans.

Stern: One-and-done system not perfect

By Barbara Barker Newsday

Like millions of basketball fans across the country, NBA commissioner David Stern tuned into the NCAA championship game Monday night.

“I watched the game while it was still a game, and then I caught up on some of my NBA games,” Stern said Tuesday in reference to Kentucky’s impressive performance in a 67-59 victory over Kansas.

There are some who would say Stern is partially responsible for

Kentucky’s domination of the big game, given that the Wildcats are loaded with “one-anddone” talent. Freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague likely will leave school and become first-round picks in June’s NBA draft. Under the NBA’s collectivebargaining agreement, American-born players must be at least 19 during the calendar year of the draft and be one year removed from their high school graduating class.

Stern said it’s not his job to worry about whether a

particular rule is good for the college game. Then he went a step further and suggested that maybe it’s up to colleges to think about why their players are opting to leave after one year.

“It’s not geared to whether it’s a good thing for the colleges,” Stern said. “I assume that certain colleges think it’s a good thing because they take these players with virtually certain knowledge that they will be coming into the NBA. It seems to suggest that some of the players’ complaints that they should be paid are

getting closer to the bone if you are just going to a pre-NBA program.”

Stern spoke at a media event in Manhattan to kick off the NBA’s Green Week. He smiled when he brought up the subject of paying college players. He did say the league would love to have three years to watch them compete at a high level, as the NFL does, but one year was what the NBA was able to get in collective bargaining.

Said Stern: “It’s a heck of a lot better for us than just getting players out of high school.”

Burger King unwraps a menu makeover ————

In bid to recoup flagging sales, new items look a lot like offerings from McDonald’s

By Candice Choi Associated Press Writer

MIAMI — When Burger King set about to fix its ailing empire, the fast food giant started by scrutinizing everything on the menu — even the mayonnaise.

A group of Burger King executives and franchisees last year sat through a lengthy presentation complete with charts and graphs on how oils and eggs affect the quality of the spread. A blind taste test of 30 varieties followed. The verdict: They liked the one Burger King was already using.

“That was actually a pretty hard day,” recalls John Koch, Burger King’s executive chef.

It wasn’t the only one.

Over the past year, Burger King evaluated all of its ingredients from the bacon to the cheese slices it serves on its chargrilled burgers as part of a yearlong quest to reverse years of slumping sales of its Whoppers and fries.

The result: On Monday, it launched a lineup of smoothies, frappé coffees, chicken strips and snack wraps. The 10 new items mark Burger King’s biggest menu expansion since the chain opened its doors in 1954.

Burger King’s food odyssey shows how grueling it can be for a fast-food company to come up with new menu items — a process most Americans aren’t aware of when they’re handed a bag at a drive-thru window. Burger King is the latest chain to revamp its menu as part of the fast-food industry’s move away from its nearly singleminded courtship of young men. Once the lifeblood of the industry, the economic downturn hit those junk food fanatics particularly hard. At the same time, Americans generally have been demanding healthier options.

Burger King has failed to evolve even as competitors have gone after new customers with breakfast items and healthier fare.

Last year, Wendy’s for the first time edged out Burger King as the nation’s No. 2 burger chain behind McDonald’s. To stem the decline, Burger King executives last year decided to remodel its aging system of 7,200 stores to make them more contemporary, redesign worker uniforms with aprons so they stay clean and even serve the iconic Whopper in cardboard cartons instead of paper burger wrapping for the first time in more than 20 years.

Whopper of a task The food, however, is at the heart of its plan.

Consumers have longed for more food options at Burger King, but the revamp is a gamble. The new menu may not go far enough to differentiate Burger King from its competitors.

After all, there are striking similarities between Burger King’s new items and the offerings of its much-bigger rival McDonald’s. The Golden Arches already rolled out specialty salads in 2003, snack wraps in 2006, premium coffee drinks in 2009, and fruit smoothies in 2010.

Burger King executives don’t deny that its new items are pretty close to those on McDonald’s popular menu. But they say the new menu was created as a result of Burger King’s own research.

“Consumers wanted more choices,” said Steve Wiborg, president of Burger King’s North America operations. “Not just healthy choices, but choices they could get at the competition.”

But food isn’t Burger King’s only problem. Many of its restaurants are showing signs of aging. So the company decided it wanted to give them a more modern look that mixes leather armchairs, high stools and plastic chairs in warmer

lighting. The makeover costs an average of more than $275,000 per restaurant.

That presents another challenge: getting buyin from franchisees, who own 90 percent of the chain’s U.S. stores. So far, more than 1,000 franchise locations are slated to be updated in the next year.

Over the next three years, 2,500 will be remodeled.

Updated image Customers will see changes even in stores that aren’t remodeled. The drab red, black or blue shirts workers used to wear have been replaced by metal gray shirts and aprons that were designed with the help of employees. Wrappers, cups and bags now have vivid photos of food that were shot by the same photographer responsible for the catalogs of the high-end

housewares retailer Williams-Sonoma.

To get the word out about the changes, Burger King is rolling out its biggest marketing campaign ever. TV ads will feature celebrities, including soccer player David Beckham, comedian Jay Leno and actress Salma Hayek.

In one spot, R&B singer Mary J. Blige croons the ingredients of the snack wraps.

Whether the star power of the ads, updated stores and the new food on the menu can fix Burger King’s troubles remains to be seen. But Alex Macedo, chief marketing officer for Burger King North America, said the chain has a good chance of rebounding because Burger King is a brand everyone knows.

Luis M. Alvarez/AP Photo “People love Burger NEW MENU ITEMS ARE DISPLAYED AT A BURGER KING RESTAURANT in Miami. Burger King King and really want a has added 10 menu items, including smoothies, frappés, specialty salads and snack reason to come back,” he wraps, in its biggest menu expansion since the chain opened its doors in 1954. said.

The power of the grill sweetens spring asparagus

By Elizabeth Karmel For The Associated Press

I have always loved asparagus. But the minute I tasted grilled asparagus, it went from a vegetable I liked to one that I was madly in love with.

Every time I make it — seasoned with my basic grilling trilogy of olive oil, salt and pepper — people ask for the recipe. That’s because grilling transforms the asparagus so much that most people think I am pulling their leg when I tell them it has just those ingredients.

Most people don’t realize what a powerful flavor enhancer the heat of the grill is. And this simple recipe really shows just how powerful it is.

It works because the high heat of the grill causes the natural sugars in the asparagus (as well as many other vegetables) to caramelize, accentuating its nutty, sweet flavors.

Though asparagus is available all year long, it’s a sure sign that spring is here when the local asparagus begins to arrive at the grocer. I prefer the

thick bottomed stalks that snap instead of bend with tight tops and a plump green look to them.

Asparagus also comes in white (popular in France) and purple varieties, but I think the green variety is more tender, sweeter and usually is less expensive.

If you crave thin asparagus, save it for the saute pan. It’s much too delicate to hold up to the grill. In fact, for grilling the thicker the stalk the better.

I usually buy asparagus the day I am going to cook it, but you can keep it fresh in the refrigerator the same way you keep parsley fresh — cut off the bottoms and place the entire bunch upright in a glass of water, similar to a bouquet of flowers.

When you are ready to cook it, you need to trim the bottoms. You have two options. You can snap the stalks one at a time. Or, if you’ve kept the bunch intact (usually held tight by a rubber band), lay it on its side on the cutting board and use a knife to cut just below the band.

I then wash my asparagus, dry it and place it in a

zip-close plastic bag. Drizzle olive oil in the bag, seal it and “massage” the stalks so that all the exposed surfaces have a light coating of oil. This is essential for juicy grilled asparagus. Otherwise, it will dry out and might stick to the grates. My motto — oil the food, not the grates!

Grilled asparagus needs no adornment to enjoy, but in honor of spring ham I am wrapping the room temperature grilled asparagus with translucent slices of prosciutto for an antipasto appetizer all in one bite. You can take it even further and dress it up as a gorgeous salad with a dollop of buratta or fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil, coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Either way, it’s the perfect way to celebrate spring!

Prosciutto-Wrapped Grilled Spring Asparagus Start to finish: 25 minutes. Servings: 8.

1 pound fresh asparagus 2 to 4 tablespoons extra-

Matthew Mead/AP Photo

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED GRILLED SPRING ASPARAGUS is grilled first to bring out the sweetness in each stalk, then wrapped in prosciutto. virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt (use salt according to taste) 1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto Heat the grill to medium.

Trim off the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. You can use a knife and cut them roughly twothirds of the way down, or by hand. For the latter methods, one at a time, grasp each stalk by both ends and bend it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness. Wash and dry the spears.

Place the asparagus in a

large zip-close plastic bag.

Add enough oil to allow you to massage the spears and coat them entirely with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and massage again. Leave the asparagus in the bag until ready to cook.

Place the asparagus on the cooking grate crosswise so they won’t fall through. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of the stalks), turning occasionally to expose all sides to the heat. The asparagus should begin to brown in spots (indicating that its natural

sugars are caramelizing) but should not be allowed to char.

Remove from grill and let cool to room temperature.

Wrap each stalk of grilled asparagus with a thin piece of prosciutto. Serve immediately.

Have faith in these dessert recipes, for Passover and beyond

By Lauren Chattman Newsday

Like many bakers, I have recipes in my repertoire that I reserve for certain holidays. As my children gobble up rugelach during Hanukkah, they wonder why I never make these delicious cookies in January or May. After enjoying buttery slices of Irish soda bread on St. Patrick’s Day, my husband tells me I really should put his favorite quick bread into the regular rotation.

I can’t say I ever got the same enthusiastic response to the marble sponge cake I used to make for Passover. While my relatives looked forward to enjoying family favorites like chopped liver and gefilte fish in early April, they spoke about my bland and dry-as-dust cake, when they mentioned it at all, with resignation and even dread.

Once I realized that the supermarket marshmallow twists and jelly rings were more popular than my cake, I decided to change course.

Instead of baking unexciting, if traditional, Passover cakes, I started to look for flourless desserts that were so good they were enjoyed year-round by diners of every faith.

This year, I’ve found inspiration from around the world.

My Passover Pavlova, based on a dessert invented by a New Zealand chef in honor of the great ballet dancer, is a crispon-the-outside, fluffy-onthe-inside meringue disk

and you will have a serious mess on your hands. Don’t try to skimp on the cooling.

I’ve tried. It’s awful.

Once your cake is thoroughly cool, get out a large mixing bowl and tear the cake up in it. Tear it up into tiny pieces, and then stick your hands in there and pulverize it to bits. This is the fun part.

Once the cake is seriously shredded, add in the tub of frosting, and stir until it’s thoroughly mixed through.

Then pop the bowl back into the fridge for half an hour or so to get a chill on everything. This will make the next step much easier.

The next step is good and messy. Form your cake balls. Take a heaping tablespoon of cake mixture and roll it into a ball. For the egg shape, I started with a ball

filled with lemon sorbet and topped with macerated strawberries. Coconut rice pudding has refreshing Asian flavors and no dairy, so it can be served at any Sephardic table. Greekstyle sesame and honey candy is simple to make and satisfyingly chewy.

Because I value tradition, I haven’t given up on spongecake. This year, I’m looking to the Caribbean for clever ideas. To punch up my cake’s flavor, I’m adding espresso powder and chocolate chips to the batter. To give it some moisture and richness, I’ll serve it with bananas in rum sauce.

I predict that I will be making it again, well before our next seder, perhaps for a birthday party or barbecue.

Pavlovas With Sorbet and Strawberries 4 large egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon potato starch 2 pints strawberries, stemmed and sliced 1 pint lemon sorbet 1. Preheat oven to 200 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine egg whites and vanilla in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Increase to medium-high and whip until white and increased in volume, another minute.

and then rolled it between my hands a bit to elongate and shape the top.

Put your “eggs” on some wax paper on a cookie sheet, and when they’re all formed, put them back in the refrigerator to cool for half an hour or so. Go take a bath. Or have a cocktail. Watch a little bad TV. Then come back and you’re ready to dip.

We just melted a little chocolate at a time in a rocks glass because we wanted it to stay hot. If you do too much at once it will cool and harden before you use it up.

Put a stick in the pop, do a quick dip, then use a spoon to be sure the whole pop is covered. I like to tap the stick on the edge of the glass to help excess chocolate drop off. You will get the hang of it after one or two. The key, I think, is to not get too much chocolate on your pop.

Then roll it in sprinkles.

cup sugar in a slow, steady stream. Continue to whip until whites are shiny and form stiff peaks, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Gently fold vinegar and potato starch into whites.

3. Scoop whites into 6 mounds (about 1/2 cup each), several inches apart, on baking sheet. Use a spoon to spread whites into 4-inch circles and to create an indentation in center of each circle. Bake until firm and dry, 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven, open oven door slightly, and let sit in cooling oven until completely dry, about 2 hours.

4. Combine strawberries and remaining tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl and let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves.

Place two small scoops of lemon sorbet in center of each meringue shell, top with strawberries and serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

Coconut-Ginger Rice Pudding If you follow the Sephardic tradition (Ashkenazi Jews don’t eat rice during Passover), you can enjoy this dairy-free and delicious rice pudding at your seder.

1/2 cup arborio rice 2 (13.66-ounce) cans lite coconut milk 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch dice, plus extra for garnish 2 teaspoons lime juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachio nuts

had pink and blue edible glitter. They looked marvelous! Just roll the pops in the sprinkles, and then set them in the pop stand to dry. This pop decorating stand was a great $3 investment and I reuse it all the time.

Put them back into the fridge as they get good and dry to keep them cool until you’re ready to serve them.

Admittedly, this is a little more “process” than I usually like to undertake, especially for kid treats, but it was worth it for a special occasion. The kids loved them and I think the adults will admit they were pretty into them, too. It was fun, and they’re much smaller than a cupcake so you can kind of control how much sweet your kid is eating.

Except, I think my kid had about six. So never mind.

1. Combine rice, coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, ginger and salt in a large, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is soft, 30 to 40 minutes.

2. While rice is cooking, combine mango, lime juice and remaining tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Let stand, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Set aside.

Cake eggs: Easy Easter treats B

ecause hosting watch parties for the last four KU tournament games wasn’t enough, I decided to put together a little Easter egg hunt and photo shoot for the kids on Saturday morning. I happen to know someone with a real live bunny (thanks Erin and Jon!) and someone with mad photography skills (thanks Trina!), and getting the kids together to take their pictures with the bunny and maybe hunt a few eggs in South Park just seemed like the right thing to do on a beautiful spring morning right before Easter.

And, to further solidify the fact that I am crazy, I decided to make cake pops for treats.

At first I thought I’d bring cupcakes decorated like chicks, but I decided against it because my kid (and most of the kids I know) just lick the frosting off of cupcakes and throw the cake away.

Which drives me crazy. Cuhra-zay. I thought the cake pop would be the solution to the cupcake problem. And it was.

I told my friend Lindsey a few days before that I thought I’d do cake pops for the Easter party and she was all “Ugh. Seriously?’ We agreed that we didn’t want to spend six hours piping little eyes and decorations on cake balls as big as our thumbs, so I opted for the simplest possible solution: Easter eggs.

And really, as far as cake pops go, this was the easiest time of it I’ve ever had.

I chose lemon cake because I like lemon cake and these are the cook’s rewards — the choosing of flavors.

Also, I thought a yellow center seemed appropriate for an egg pop. You can use whatever cake color/flavor you like, though, as well as frosting.

Easter Egg Cake Pops 1 lemon cake mix (and the requisite ingredients: eggs, water, oil) 1 tub prepared lemon frosting (I told you I was making this easy on myself) 1 pound vanilla-flavored white chocolate pieces sprinkles of all colors paper sticks cardboard pop decorating stand Prepare your cake mix as the box instructs, in a 9 x 13 pan. Remove from the oven and let it cool for several hours, or better yet, overnight.

Dear Annie: “Lizzie” and I are in our late 20s.

She has an older sister and two adopted siblings, both of whom are developmentally disabled. One has Down syndrome, but he is capable of living independently. The other, however, is the size of a grown woman, but she can neither walk nor speak. She must be cared for like an infant.

When we married, Lizzie told me that someday her adoptive siblings would live in a group home. Now that her mother is in poor health, she says she intends to have both of them live with us.

Lizzie’s biological sister is married with kids and acts as if her adoptive siblings don’t exist.

I asked my sister-in-law if she and her husband would take in the developmentally disabled sister, and she said no. When I asked why she was so cold toward her adoptive

Annie’s Mailbox

siblings, she said, “They were my parents’ project, not mine.”

So now I’m stuck. I want kids of our own, but it will be impossible to care for an infant and a “grown infant” at the same time, and even Lizzie agrees. And if we place the siblings in a home, we’ll still have to help pay for it, and her parents didn’t provide much. There’s no way we could afford it.

I love my wife, but there are some things I am not willing to do. A therapist told me I have to decide for myself.

New sitcom familiar, yet novel A generation removed from “Three’s Company,” the sitcom “Best Friends Forever” (7:30 p.m., NBC) revisits the “two girls and a guy sharing an apartment” story. The results are more deflating than stimulating — at least for Joe (Luka Jones), the guy in the triangle.

A product of post“Bridesmaids” and post-Chelsea Handler sensibilities, “Forever” kicks off with fairly perfunctory girl talk about matters that used to be labeled “private parts” for a reason. This patter erupts almost instantly and spasmodically, as if the show were clearing its throat before finding a more assured voice.

Pretty, neurotic Jessica (Jessica St. Clair) is in the middle of some transcontinental girl talk (or girl Skype) with best friend, Lennon (Lennon Parham), when she receives divorce papers from her unseen husband. Wailing ensues.

In a sign of the writers’ attention to detail and Jessica’s well-rendered perfectionism, she notices that the cad did not have the papers sent by messenger or FedEx, but sent two-day Priority Mail.

She leaves the West Coast home of her cheap, faithless man for New York, where Lennon lives with Joe. This is the generic, mindlessly affluent New York of “Sex and the City” fantasies. Jones is well-cast as Joe, the slightly dweeby every-slob.

The genuinely affectionate ties that bind Joe to Lennon are as nerdy as their first date at a Medieval Times restaurant. The intrusion of Jessica’s wounded, needy Martha Stewart into their goofy cocoon is wrenching — particularly for Joe, who seems new to the idea of commitment. ‘‘Forever” unfolds without a laugh track and blessedly free of the punch line-driven rhythm of so many sitcoms.

Like “Bridesmaids,” this comedy mixes raunchy humor with fleeting moments of pathos and emotional honesty. I’m not yet certain if this show marks an evolution in the sitcom, or simply a mess. And that’s enough to make me want to stick around for more.

Tonight’s other highlights

Candid-camera shenanigans on “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” (7 p.m., NBC).

Two hours of performances on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

After tonight’s two-hour finale, “One Tree Hill” (7 p.m., CW) will finally end.

Altar-ed states on the season finale of “Happy Endings” (8:30 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS

Author-poet Maya Angelou is 84. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., is 80. Recording executive Clive Davis is 80. Author Kitty Kelley is 70.

Actor Craig T. Nelson is 68. Actress Christine Lahti is 62. Country singer Steve Gatlin (The Gatlin Brothers) is 61. Writer-producer David E. Kelley is 56. Actor Robert Downey Jr. is 47. Actress Nancy McKeon is 46. Actor Barry Pepper is 42. Magician David Blaine is 39.

Actress Jamie Lynn Spears is 21.

Please help. — Need Another Opinion Dear Need: This is an enormous responsibility, and we understand it’s not what you signed up for. Before rejecting both the obligation and your marriage, however, please do some research.

The siblings may be eligible for government assistance. Your sisterin-law may be willing to contribute financially to their care. Also, please check online or call 211 to find local support groups for caregivers of those with developmental disabilities and see what resources exist in your area.

Armed with good information, you can then discuss it honestly and compassionately with Lizzie.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, April 4: This year frustration plays out with confusion. You have the ability to find clarity by asking questions and confirming what you hear. By your next birthday, you could become a master of communication. If you are single, someone quite desirable pops into your life from summer on. If you are attached, the two of you become closer as you learn to communicate more effectively.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) All work and no play might not suit you. Something that occupies your time could feel like a must-do. Tonight: Try a tensionbuster.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Manifest some of your creative solutions, and you’ll make a difficult situation or task easier.

Don’t be so surprised that you have many people who like being close to you. Tonight: Break your routine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Stay close to home if you can. Somehow, the idea of being out and about might not appeal to you.

Tonight: Spontaneity rules.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could be confused by a situation. Perhaps the best way to clear it out is to start sharing. Tonight: Chat over a drink and munchies.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s sharing. Clear the air now that you have more understanding. Tonight: Your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 2 3-Sept. 22) Feel free to have a longoverdue discussion later in the day.

ness and how she screams at her co-workers.

We have brought this up to our boss and his supervisor, but they say, “Well, that’s just how she is.” I’m tired of it, and so is everyone else. But when I tried to get people to register a complaint as a group, no one would man up because they are all afraid the co-worker will find out. Then, if nothing happens, she will make our lives hell. What’s our next step? — It’s No Fun Here Dear No Fun: If you cannot get the office staff to register a group complaint and management refuses to intervene, your choice is to put up with this annoying co-worker or leave. We are surprised the bosses don’t care if good employees quit and clients complain, but if that’s their position, there’s not much recourse unless you can go directly to the owner of the company. We recommend it. jacquelinebigar.com

The reaction you get might be a little over-the-top, but you are on your way to clearing out a misunderstanding.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might wonder why you are acting the way you are. Be open and authentic, and you can’t go wrong. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want by late afternoon. After recent confusion and setbacks, you might want to discuss an issue. Tonight: Where the action is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Delve into a new interest that could develop into a commitment. Whatever it is, be sure you want to become involved, as getting out could be a lot more difficult.

Tonight: In the limelight.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are experiencing a change within a relationship, and also within yourself. You will start to see life from an even broader perspective and drop some selfimposed restrictions. Tonight: Add spice to your life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Just when you are about to toss your hands in the air, you’ll discover that there is another solution or way. You come from a point of creativity and high energy. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) For now, lie back and allow others to demonstrate their true colors. A key friendship could be changing right in front of you.

Tonight: Take your cue from a friend or loved one.
