Courts to shut down, employees to be furloughed

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansans won’t have access to the state judicial system for five days because of the budget meltdown in the Legislature.

Legislature failed to approve funds for judicial branch on Wednesday said he would order Kansas courts shut down and 1,500 employees furloughed without pay.

The closings and furloughs are set for Friday, April 13, and then every other Friday

on April 27, May 11, May 25 and June 8.

The action is necessary, Nuss said, because the Legislature adjourned last week for its annual break without approving a $1.4 million sup-

plemental appropriation for the judicial branch.

Because of a drop-off in case filing fees, the judiciary doesn’t have enough money to meet payroll through the fiscal year, which ends June

30, he said. The furloughed workers will essentially be taking a 10 percent pay cut for five pay periods.

Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell acknowledges the current partisan nature of American politics, but he’s still optimistic for the future.

“I think there remains among most Americans of all political persuasions a fundamental commitment to the country itself as opposed to a political position or ideology,” Mitchell told a crowd Wednesday at the Dole Institute of Politics as he gave the 2012 Dole Lecture.

Mitchell, with his New England accent, weaved in stories about his career and said he was fortunate to see how the United States was the “land of opportunity.” As a teenage boy, he was generously given the chance to attend Bowdoin College in Maine even though his father had recently lost his job.

And as a federal judge after performing a naturalization ceremony, an Asian man reminded him: “Everybody has a chance in America.”

“That’s what has made this country great. The first true meritocracy in all of human history, the first human society in which we drew upon the talents of everybody in society,” said Mitchell, who served Maine as a Democrat in the Senate before retiring 1995.

Still, he said, the country faces political challenges. He said technology has allowed for gerrymandering in congressional districts almost down to the city block, which has decreased

Mitchell spoke about the current partisan, extreme nature of American politics but expressed hope for the future.

— Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell the number of competitive seats. It places more emphasis on primary elections giving “activists and ideologues” in both parties more influence.

“As a result, the candidates are driven more and more to the extremes,” he said.

He also blasted the recent Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court decision that has resulted in creation of super PACs and allowed unlimited campaign contributions — including from corporations. He said it has led to more negative political advertising.

“I think it’s getting worse and worse and worse. I don’t think it can be changed, except by the American people,” Mitchell said. “There’s going to be a time in the story of this country when a scandal will occur, and the people of this country will rise up.”

As he makes the most recalls, the college stuof renewable dents leading the sesresources. www.b-e-f.org sion didn’t give a very satisfying answer.

“I’m still studying that question,” Ginsburg said. “I think we all are.”

Ginsburg, who is a 1994 Lawrence High School graduate, has

gained attention from the likes of National Geographic and Time magazines for his recent research that sheds light on the outer reaches of the universe.

Born in Israel, Ginsburg grew up in Lawrence, and his parents, Esther and Shlomo Ginsburg, still live here.

With the help of computer simulations, the Dartmouth astronomer studies what he thinks are planets being flung out of a black hole like a rock out of a slingshot.

Since 1988, scientists have theorized that the massive black hole at the core of the Milky

Way can separate pairs of stars that orbit each other and get too close to the black hole’s gravitational force. The theory is that one of the stars is swallowed up by the monstrously large black hole while the other one is flung out on a path that will take it to intergalactic space. The star being ejected is known as a hypervelocity star and travels at speeds of up to 1.5 million miles per hour.

In 2005, the first hypervelocity star was found; since then 20 others have been counted.

A controlled grass burn is scheduled this morning for the Baker Wetlands south of Lawrence, said Roger Boyd, director of natural areas for Baker University.

An area between 200 and 250 acres will be burned in sections, beginning about 8 a.m., Boyd said, though wet weather overnight could delay the start time by a few hours.

The grass burning could take most of the morning. It is scheduled for today because the wind is expected to be out of the north.

Boyd said the burn served several purposes, including to kill woody vegetation and to shorten the grass, which is 9 feet high in some areas, thus allowing new plants to grow.

said the House has made clear that it doesn’t want the courts overturning how the Legislature allocates funds.

At least 40 affected in Douglas County Nuss said that on furlough days judges would be working in their offices and handling essential, emergency situations.

Judges will not see a pay cut because under the Kansas Constitution their salaries cannot be reduced unless all state officers’ salaries are reduced.

Chief Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild said the furloughs would affect at least 40 employees at the Douglas County Courthouse.

“I think it’s very frustrating when a branch of government has to shut its door because another branch of government isn’t dealing with the issues there,” Fairchild said.

“I know it will be frustrating for people whose cases will be continued.”

Nuss said if legislators and Gov. Sam Brownback approve a budget quickly when the Legislature reconvenes, Nuss could rescind the remaining furlough days.

But, Nuss said, he didn’t want to wait to take action. “If we gamble on getting the supplemental appropriation when the Legislature returns, but something arises that prevents it, then the impact on our employees is more severe over the time that is left,” he said.

In a prepared statement, Brownback said he was confident legislators would reach a budget agreement during the wrap-up session.

But Brownback steered clear of the judicial funding issue, saying, “We do not foresee this short delay in the budget agreement affecting any services the executive branch provides.”

Budget breakdown The Legislature adjourned last week after a budget breakdown.

Computer simulations also show that just as orbiting stars get separated in the black hole, a planet could be ripped apart from the star it orbits and sent flying out of the galaxy at high speeds.

Those rogue planets could be moving as fast as 30 million miles per hour.

“It’s at a speed we can’t even imagine,” Ginsburg said.

Eventually, Ginsburg said, astronomers should be able to detect the hypervelocity planets that transit stars, because the star will grow dimmer as

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD approve a deal for current year supplemental appropriations. Then House Republican leaders backed off signing the drafted budget.

While both the House and Senate agreed to allocate $24.6 million to public schools in the current year to cover unexpected costs, the sides disagreed on the method of funding.

The House wanted to take the money from the transportation department, while the Senate and Brownback proposed using general state revenues.

Senate negotiators wanted to defer a decision on the source of the school funds until the wrap-up session. But House Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said that would have put the House at a disadvantage because if no agreement could be reached, the funding method would have defaulted to Brownback’s position, which was the same as the Senate’s.

On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said, “We must properly fund the court system so that every Kansan has access to justice. There is no excuse for the Legislature failing to pass a supplemental appropriation in its regular session so that these furloughs and closures would have been avoided.”

Some legislators, including Davis, have said House Republican leaders were using the budget impasse to create political leverage on other issues, such as redistricting.

O’Neal has denied that assertion.

In 2010, courts had four days of employee furloughs as the state faced a budget crisis. Now, however, the state has a projected an ending balance for the current fiscal year of approximately $500 million.

“I’m sure sooner or later people are going to be looking for these. And I think it is something definitely worth looking for,” he said.

Right now, astronomers don’t have the tools to spot the lone planets rocketing through the galaxy.

Affinitas layoffs, closure in works

Prepare to take cover

BRIEFLY Charge dismissed in domestic case Douglas County prosecutors on Wednesday dismissed an aggravated assault charge against a 32-year-old Lawrence man accused in a March domestic incident.

Assistant District Attorney Catherine Decena Skinner said after a preliminary hearing Wednesday that the victim testified and accused William D. Glover Jr. of choking her until she felt she would pass out and throwing her against a wall causing her to black out, during an incident March 23 in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane. But Skinner said there was no evidence during the hearing to support the aggravated assault charge that Glover threatened the woman with a knife.

The woman was taken by a friend to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where police interviewed her. An arraignment in the case is scheduled for Monday.

Kansas to resume issuing driver’s licenses TOPEKA — The Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles will resume issuing and renewing driver’s licenses and identification cards today, following a two-day shutdown traced to problems with an outside vendor’s computer system.

Division director Donna Shelite, in announcing the resolution late Wednesday afternoon, said the vendor “is continuing work to ensure we do not have an unplanned outage like this again.”

The shutdown affected all 111 driver’s license offices Tuesday and Wednesday. The offices are open Tuesdays through Fridays and serve about 13,000 people a week.

For people whose licenses or ID cards were set to expire between March 30 and Friday, the division was issuing 15-day extension slips.

JOHN BOLTON is a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who spoke Wednesday at the Lied Center for the Kansas University School of Business’ annual Vickers Lecture.

One of Lawrence’s larger call center operations is going through a major downsizing and layoffs.

Omaha-based Affinitas Corp. is taking steps to close its Lawrence call center in the former Riverfront Mall in downtown Lawrence.

Doug Brown, a broker with McGrew Commercial, confirmed negotiations are under way for Affinitas to leave the center before its lease expires in July. Brown said talks are ongoing to bring in a new tenant to occupy the space that once served as the customer care center for the entire Sprint PCS brand.

“The bad news is it looks like we’re losing Affinitas, but the good news is the new tenant will have more jobs and likely higher-paying jobs,” Brown said.

Several people claiming to be Affinitas employees posted messages on social networking sites earlier this week that the company had laid off most of its Lawrence employees. A spokesman at Affinitas did not return a call for comment.

An employee at the Lawrence center said she could not comment, but the front desk at the Lawrence office had a flier attached to Please see AFFINITAS , page 4A

Company not happy county passed Students angry over pricey courses it over for water line project pepper-sprayed

The low bidder of a water line project leading to a new Berry Plastics facility is angry that the Douglas County Commission passed over its bid.

At Wednesday night’s meeting, Dean Banks, who owns the Holton-based Banks Construction company with his COUNTY father, Wayne COMMISSION Banks, asked the County Commission to reconsider its decision to pick the second-lowest bidder.

On the advice of the engineering firm Bartlett and West, the County Commission recommended a week ago to go with the Wathena-based firm M Con LLC, which bid $91,550. Banks Construction’s bid was nearly $7,500 lower at $84,129.

The county budgeted for the water line project to cost $130,000, and the money is part of the $431,000 incentives package the county provided Berry Plastics to build a new 675,000-squarefoot warehouse on the north side of Farmers Turnpike.

The warehouse is expected to provide about a dozen new jobs.

While the County Commission is paying for the project, Rural Water District No. 6 is the one overseeing the water line.

At the March 28 meeting, the commission agreed to go with M Con on the condition that the water district changed its previous decision to go with the lowest bidder and accept the second-lowest bidder. The water district held a special meeting later in the week and voted to reverse its decision and accept the second bidder.

“Our recommendation was to take the secondlowest bid,” Commissioner Jim Flory told Banks on Wednesday, but noted later that “if the district decided to stay with your bid, we would also support that.”

At the March 28 board meeting, County Administrator Craig Weinaug told the commission that the engineering firm had more “comfort” in the secondlowest bidder’s ability “to get the job done in timely fashion and done well.”

He also said the water district indicated it would

“We do need to make a decision,” Weinaug said that night. “The completion of the line is a critical path to completing the whole project.”

At Wednesday’s meeting, Dean Banks said the engineering firm that recommended M Con over them had collected two questionable references that reflected poorly on the company.

One of the references had a conflict of interest and the other reference wasn’t involved in the construction project. None of those poor references provided documentation, Banks said.

Banks said he could provide plenty of references from entities they worked for that were happy with the company.

“It’s costing us a $84,000 job right now, and we haven’t bid any other work,” Banks said.

After the meeting, Banks said he is considering suing the water district and engineering firm over the bidding process.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — The dozens of student protesters who were pepper-sprayed by police at a California community college weren’t just angry about not getting into a meeting of school trustees.

They were fuming about a new Santa Monica College plan that would let students who did not get into a needed, highdemand course take the class anyway but only if they paid hundreds of dollars more.

On Tuesday night, the emotions boiled over at the meeting.

And a day later, the state agency that oversees the state’s community colleges called on the attorney general to judge whether the plan was legal. Agency officials also called for the college to temporarily halt the program.

The college has said the summer pilot program is an attempt to create new ways to fund some popular state-required classes — Reporter Christine Metz can be in an era of declining state reached at 832-6352. education aid.

come from Israel because an American strike is unlikely with the current administration), Iran would likely develop a nuclear program within a year, and likely sooner, he said.

“I wouldn’t trust that regime with sharp objects, let alone a peaceful nuclear program,” he said.

A policy of containment and deterrence that worked with the old Soviet Union might not be as successful with Iran, he said.

“I don’t think containment works with a regime that prizes life in the hereafter more than they prize life on Earth,” Bolton said.

He touched on longerterm issues like China, which so far has grown peacefully over the last 20 years. He said that path could continue, but

the U.S. should be prepared for a more unstable growth, too.

The current administration isn’t appropriately dealing with these issues, Bolton argued. In an interview before the speech, he said he had endorsed Republican Mitt Romney in the upcoming presidential race.

“I think he’s got the confidence to sit behind the big desk in the Oval Office,” he said.

Though a small group of demonstrators protested outside the Lied Center before the event, Bolton spoke to a mostly friendly crowd who often applauded his responses to audience questions.

Critics say the plan will create a caste system favoring wealthy students and runs contrary to the idea of community colleges as a gateway into the middle class.

“Students feel they are being backed into a corner. They feel like they have been left out of the discussion,” said Joshua Scuteri, a student trustee.

“The feeling on campus is it’s like the Alamo.”

The school is one of the state’s largest two-year colleges, with an enrollment of roughly 30,000 students. About 1,100 classes out of 7,430 have been slashed since 2008.

As a result, students can’t get the courses they need to graduate. They have held protests before but wanted to be heard and seen by trustees Tuesday night, students said. They were upset because only a handful of them were allowed into the meeting.

When their request to move the meeting to a larger venue was denied, they began to enter the room, said David Steinman, an environmental advocate.

Affinitas provided customer service and call center services to other companies, including several of the larger cable companies in the country. During its heyday, Brown said the company employed 300 people. As recently as the summer of 2011, the company still had 200 employees at the center.

The Journal-World reported in January that the Lawrence center, which is on the lower level of the former Riverfront Mall, reduced its workforce and cut the hours of remaining employees.

Brown declined to provide additional information on the possible new tenant for the space, other than to say it would include a call center function.

“We’re waiting day to day to hear information about it,” Brown said.

The space that Affinitas is vacating is owned by members of the Simons family, who also are owners of the Journal-World.

DOUGLAS COUNTY DISTRICT COURT • A Douglas County judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the former owner of the Yellow House Store against the Kansas University Police Department.

District Judge Paula Martin, according to her written ruling, found Carrie Neighbors filed the suit beyond the state’s statute of limitations because the alleged actions occurred more than the one year earlier.

The suit, which Neighbors filed in February without an attorney, alleges there was no jurisdiction for federal obstruction charges to be filed against her in connection with an investigation in 2008 into a laptop stolen from the KU campus, and she also accuses Michael Riner, a detective at the time, of falsely testifying in the case. KU had denied the claims in the suit.

Neighbors was convicted in a federal stolen goods case and is serving time in prison. A second suit that Neighbors filed around the same time against the city of Lawrence, the Lawrence Police Department and two officers, Mickey Rantz and Jay Bialek, is pending. District Judge Michael Malone has not scheduled any hearings in that case.

Alcohol lessons apply to other drugs

EDITORIALS

It’s a start A ban on insider trading by members of Congress and other federal officials seems like a given. Now it’s a law.

T

he insider trading legislation signed into law on Wednesday may not be enough to turn around the public’s opinion of the U.S. Congress, but it’s a step in the right direction.

By overwhelming margins (96-3 in the U.S. Senate and 417-2 in the House), a measure was approved last month that prohibits members of Congress from trading stocks and other securities on the basis of confidential information they obtain as lawmakers. The law also makes clear that the insider trading ban applies to members of Congress and their aides, as well as officials in the federal government’s judicial and executive branches.

To most Americans, it seems like a nobrainer that lawmakers shouldn’t be able to base personal financial decisions on inside information they receive in confidential meetings. Unfortunately, it appears it was necessary to write that principle into law.

The issue of insider trading jumped to the public’s attention as a result of a report last November on the “60 Minutes” television news magazine. The show examined questionable dealings by three lawmakers: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker John Boehner and U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala. All three members of Congress responded to the report by saying they had done nothing wrong, but, less than a week later, legislation was introduced to institute an insider trading ban. The bill also requires lawmakers to disclose the purchase or sale of stocks, bonds, commodities futures and other securities within 45 days of the transactions, rather than doing it only once a year, which is now the requirement.

There is good reason for members of Congress to be concerned about their public image as they move toward November elections. Earlier this week, Rasmussen Reports released results of its most recent national telephone survey, in which only 6 percent of likely U.S. voters rated the performance of Congress as good or excellent. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed thought Congress was doing a poor job.

Passage of the insider trading legislation may or may not improve Congress’ job rating, but it at least indicates lawmakers want to boost public confidence in their integrity and honesty. It’s a start.

WASHINGTON — The human nervous system interacts in pleasing and addictive ways with certain molecules derived from some plants, which is why humans may have developed beer before they developed bread. Psychoactive — consciousness-altering — and addictive drugs are natural, a fact that should immunize policymakers against extravagant hopes as they cope with America’s drug problem, which is convulsing some nations to our south.

The costs — human, financial and social — of combating (most) drugs are prompting calls for decriminalization or legalization.

America should, however, learn from the psychoactive drug used by a majority of American adults — alcohol.

Mark Kleiman of UCLA, a policy analyst, was recently discussing drug policy with someone who said he had no experience with illegal drugs, not even marijuana, because he is of “the gin generation.”

Ah, said Kleiman, gin: “A much more dangerous drug.”

Twenty percent of all American prisoners — 500,000 people — are incarcerated for dealing illegal drugs, but alcohol causes as much as half of America’s criminal violence and vehicular fatalities.

Drinking alcohol had been a widely exercised private right for millennia when America tried to prohibit it.

As a public health measure, Prohibition “worked:” Alcohol-related illnesses declined dramatically. As the monetary cost of drinking tripled, deaths from cirrhosis of the liver declined by a third.

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

So, suppose cocaine or heroin were legalized and marketed as cigarettes and alcohol are. And suppose the level of addiction were to replicate the 7 percent of adults suffering from alcohol abuse or dependency.

This improvement was, however, paid for in the coin of rampant criminality and disrespect for law.

Prohibition resembled what is today called decriminalization: It did not make drinking illegal; it criminalized the making, importing, transporting or selling of alcohol. Drinking remained legal, so oceans of it were made, imported, transported and sold.

Another legal drug, nicotine, kills more people than do alcohol and all illegal drugs — combined. For decades, government has aggressively publicized the health risks of smoking and made it unfashionable, stigmatized, expensive and inconvenient. Yet 20 percent of every rising American generation becomes addicted to nicotine.

So, suppose cocaine or heroin were legalized and marketed as cigarettes and alcohol are. And suppose the level of addiction were to replicate the 7 percent of adults suffering from alcohol abuse or dependency. That would be a public health disaster. As the late James Q. Wilson said, nicotine shortens life, cocaine debases it.

Still, because the costs of prohibition – interdiction, mass incarceration, etc. — are staggeringly high, some people say, “Let’s just try legalization for a while.” Society is not, however, like a controlled laboratory; in society, experiments that produce disappointing or unexpected results cannot be tidily reversed.

Legalized marijuana could be produced for much less than a tenth of its current price as an illegal commodity. Legalization of cocaine and heroin would cut their prices, too; they would sell for a tiny percentage of their current prices. And using high excise taxes to maintain cocaine and heroin prices at current levels would produce widespread tax evasion — and an illegal market.

Furthermore, legalization would mean drugs of reliable quality would be conveniently available from clean stores for customers not risking the stigma of breaking the law in furtive transactions with unsavory people. So there is no reason to think today’s levels of addiction are anywhere near the levels that would be reached under legalization.

Regarding the interdicting of drug shipments, capturing “kingpin” distributors and in-

carcerating dealers, consider data from the book “Drugs and Drug Policy: What Everyone Needs to Know” by Kleiman, Jonathan Caulkins and Angela Hawken. Almost all heroin comes from poppies grown on 4 percent of the arable land of one country — Afghanistan.

Four South American countries – Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia — produce more than 90 percent of the world’s cocaine. But attempts to decrease production in source countries produce the “balloon effect.”

Squeeze a balloon in one spot, it bulges in another.

Suppress production of poppies or coca leaves here, production moves there. The $8 billion Plan Colombia was a melancholy success, reducing coca production there 65 percent, while production increased 40 percent in Peru and doubled in Bolivia.

In the 1980s, when “cocaine cowboys” made Miami lawless, the U.S. government created the South Florida Task Force to interdict cocaine shipped from Central and South America by small planes and cigarette boats.

This interdiction was so successful the cartels opened new delivery routes. Tranquility in Miami was purchased at the price of mayhem in Mexico.

America spends 20 times more on drug control than all the world’s poppy and coca growers earn. A subsequent column will suggest a more economic approach to the “natural” problem of drugs.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 5, 1912: YEARS “The granting AGO of a license to IN 1912 Geo. M. Lindley, permitting his son to sell vegetables on the street, has caused somewhat a stir among the members of the council. It is alleged that the son who is to conduct the stand is afflicted with tuberculosis and that the public health may be endangered by his selling of vegetables on the street.”

“Pop corn ought to be grown on every farm. If there is too much other work to look after, let the children care for it.”

— Compiled by Sarah St. John

To the editor: Thank you for the headline that appeared on the main section of Tuesday’s Journal World: “Thanks for the dance.”

That classy headline crystallized what many, many people in Lawrence felt Tuesday morning about our scrappy, hard-working, “believe it” Kansas University Jayhawk basketball team.

Bless them. And thanks, indeed, for the dance.

Gas prices To the editor: Much is being made about President Obama being responsible for the spike in gas prices. People are blaming him for doubling of the cost of gas. They are correct in stating that the price of gas was $1.84 in January 2009, when Obama took office. They fail to mention that the average cost of gas for the previous year was over $3 per gallon and peaked over $4.

Speculators have found a way to artificially inflate gas prices in the oil futures market. According to Saudi Arabia there is no shortage of oil. Here in the U.S., our stocks of oil reserves are high and our consumption is down. So where is the change in the supply/demand that is causing the price to spike?

There is none. These spikes are caused by oil futures speculation. We “might” go to war with Iran so they are manipulating the market to boost their profits on those fears. Speculators (not oil companies) now hold more than 60 percent of the oil futures market and they are being allowed to run up the prices.

We can curb this. Democrats have offered bills in Congress to stop this manipulation, but the Republican majority in the House will not have any part of it. Neither will they allow the stopping of the $30 billion-per-year oil subsidy giveaway. If you want to blame someone for our high gas prices look no further than your Republican congressmen fed by the oil lobbyists’ cash.

Stephen J. Crockett, Lawrence

Rights for all To the editor: The Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act has a name chosen to evoke strong positive feelings, and based on these words alone, who could disagree? After all, our country was founded on religious freedom.

Our society has evolved to accept the principle that all people have certain fundamental rights, and we have enacted laws to guarantee them. These rights do not depend on a particular belief system (e.g. religion), nor should they be abrogated by one. They must stand on their own and be uniformly applied in order to ensure that everyone can enjoy their benefits equally. When we start making exceptions based on one group’s belief system then we are headed for trouble.

Proponents of this bill claim that certain anti-discrimination laws take away their religious freedom, but how far could this go? Could a landlord who follows a Taliban-like interpretation of Islam use this law to prevent a single woman from renting an apartment? Would we tolerate this type of discrimination?

The only solutions that can work are those based on fundamental human

principles that are not dependent on any specific religious point of view. Those who agree with this precept are sometimes viewed as being against religious freedom, but religion cannot be allowed to trump basic human rights. Our country gives you the best guarantee in the world that you will have the freedom to believe as you wish, but we cannot allow such beliefs to deprive someone of rights that belong to us all.

Bill Klein, Lawrence

Stocks suffer worst loss in a month NEW YORK — European debt flared again as a worry for Wall Street and drove stocks Wednesday to their worst loss in a month. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 125 points, and the price of gold plunged to its lowest level since January.

It was only the second time this year the Dow has recorded a triple-digit decline. The average gained 8 percent from January through March, its best first quarter since 1998, but has lost 1 percent already in April.

The Dow was down as much as 179 points earlier in the day. It recovered to close down 124.80 at 13,074.75. Only four of the 30 stocks that make up the average rose for the day.

A disappointing auction of government debt in Spain signaled that investor

confidence in that country’s finances is weakening. Spain announced tax increases and budget cuts last week, which could hurt its economy further.

Bond yields in Spain shot higher, making it more expensive for the country to raise money. Benchmark stock indexes fell 2.8 percent in Germany, 2.7 percent in France and 2.3 percent in Britain.

Investors had scarcely stopped worrying about the fate of Greece when Spain took its place as the flashpoint of the debt crisis that has hobbled Europe for more than two years.

“It’s like when cockroaches appear: You’re never quite sure how many are out there,” said John Manley, chief equity strategist for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds.

Masters field open wide

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Manning moves on

——

Woods, McIlroy top stars, but it’s not 2-man race AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Tiger Woods couldn’t see the green through the trees, though that was only a minor obstacle. He choked up on a 5-wood and played a sweeping draw around the pines, over the water and onto the back of the green.

As he approached the Sarazen Bridge to the 15th green Wednesday, the grandstand rumbled when fans suddenly rose in unison to see him walk by. Some of them held cameras as high as they could, clicked and hoped for the best.

Woods is worth watching at the Masters for all the right reasons.

All it took was one win at Bay Hill two weeks ago for Woods to even remotely resemble the guy who once dominated golf. He won by five shots, and, just like that, was elevated to the favorite at Augusta National.

“Everything is headed in the right direction at the right time,” Woods said.

But he’s not the only star of this Masters.

Rory McIlroy has all the traits of the heir apparent — an easy swing that produces enormous power, a U.S. Open title at age 22, a tennis star for a girlfriend, and an engaging personality — something that Woods is not.

In his last 12 tournaments, McIlroy finished third or better eight times, including two wins and a brief stay at No. 1 in the world.

“I’m in a great place,” McIlroy said. “I feel like my golf game is in great shape.”

There is so much anticipation about this clash of generations it’s as if they were the only two players competing for a green jacket, much like the days of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Far from it.

“There probably hasn’t been a Masters with more legitimate chances,” Geoff Ogilvy said before heading out for a final practice round. “I can understand people seeing this as a twoman race, but it’s never been further from the truth. There are more horses in this race than ever before.”

Luke Donald returned to No. 1 in the world three weeks ago by winning at Innisbrook. He is one of eight players among the top 20 in the world who have won this year, a list that includes Woods and McIlroy, along with Hunter Mahan (twice), Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, a threat at Augusta even when he’s not playing well.

“And you’ve got a guy like Keegan Bradley,” Ogilvy said, referring to the PGA champion who won the first major he ever played.

“Nobody ever talked about a Masters rookie with a chance. There’s more people in the conversation, isn’t there?”

One conversation that was kept short Wednesday was Masters chairman Billy Payne refusing to discuss the all-male membership at Augusta National. The topic returned this year because IBM appointed Virginia Rometty its CEO, and the last four chief executives of Big Blue were invited to be members.

“All issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members, and that statement remains accurate, and remains my statement,” Payne said.

NEW TULSA BASKETBALL COACH DANNY MANNING SMILES during an introductory news conference Wednesday in Tulsa, Okla.

Taking Tulsa job a ‘no-brainer’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Danny Manning, who has lived in Lawrence 14 years of his life — and spent summers here during his 15 seasons in the NBA — says it took a special opportunity to lure him away from Kansas.

That special opportunity: the chance to work as head basketball coach at Tulsa University, a school that has employed the likes of Bill Self, Nolan Richardson and Tubby Smith.

“We were comfortable there,” the 45-year-old Manning said of Lawrence and KU, where he won national titles as both a player (1988) and assistant coach (2008).

He was speaking at a news conference Wednesday on TU’s campus.

“But the more I spoke with coach Self and the more I spoke with coach Brown (Larry, his coach at KU) about the opportunity of coming to TU and being a part of this rich tradition, it became a nobrainer.

“To get a job of this magnitude as my first job is unbelievable,” added Manning,

NEW TULSA BASKETBALL COACH DANNY MANNING, RIGHT, speaks with former Kansas coach Ted Owens at Manning’s introductory news conference. who named former KU player, staff member and Baker head coach Brett Ballard and former KU manager Justin Bauman (an assistant under Rex Walters at San Francisco) as members of his Tulsa staff.

“We’re going to have a good time. We’re going to play hard. We’re going to play competitive. We’re going to be respectful young men and humble, but hungry to get better ... committed to one goal, representing Tulsa to the highest honor we can.”

Manning said he always

wanted to be a coach after watching his dad, Ed, work as an assistant coach at KU. Danny Manning was asked to reveal the best advice given him from Self, his boss at KU. “Win games,” Manning said with a laugh.

“No, no,” he quickly added. “Coach Self and his wife, Cindy, rave about Tulsa. They rave about TU, the athletic side of it, the university. They had nothing but love. It has made the transition easier for me and my wife (Julie) and my kids (Taylor, Evan) as well.

Coach Self has a lot of friends.

We were around a lot of these friends the last couple weeks.

They had nothing but wonderful things to say about TU.” According to the Tulsa World, Manning receives a four-year contract worth about $2.5 million total.

He replaces Doug Wojcik, who went 140-92 (68-44 in conference games) but never reached the NCAA Tournament in seven years at the Conference USA school.

Since getting fired in March, Wojcik has since landed as head coach at College of Charleston. He directed Tulsa to six straight winning seasons, including 25-win campaigns in 2007-08 and ’08-09.

“Absolutely. We’d like to do it next year,” Manning said of making the NCAAs. “It’s a process. We understand that.

But we’re going to put our best foot forward, build and work every day. Hopefully when you count them (wins) up at the end, we have the right number to be there.”

Withey-Johnson next 1-2 punch?

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During this season’s run to the national championship game in New Orleans, Kansas University standouts Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson were KU’s top two scorers in 20 of the 39 games the Jayhawks played.

Remarkable? Ridiculous?

Hard to fathom?

The better question might be, is it fair to expect two players to do such a thing again next year?

Fair or not, several Jayhawks said after KU’s loss to Kentucky on Monday night in the Superdome that returning seniors-to-be Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey could assume the roles left by Taylor, a senior, and Robinson, a junior who is expected to forgo his senior season and enter the NBA Draft.

lor and Robinson, physically or emotionally, Johnson and Withey bring similar skills from similar positions. Johnson, like Taylor, is a tall guard with great athleticism who is capable of driving to the rim and knocking down outside shots. The 7-foot Withey, though not nearly as chiseled as Robinson, has great size and an improving post game.

He also grew to enjoy hurting the rim with highlight slam dunks.

Self said he is thrilled for Manning.

“Although we’ve known this for several days, Danny (Manning) being named officially in a press conference at Tulsa is a great thrill not only for him but for all of us,” Self said. “We’re so happy for Danny because in large part we understand what a great job the University of Tulsa basketball position is. He’ll represent the school in a first-class way.

He’ll recruit good kids that can play and he’ll coach their tails off. He’ll have Tulsa competing for championships in a very short time. I personally think it will be a great marriage for both parties.”

Manning said he hopes this is his “last move.”

“We’ve moved around a lot. Hopefully, this is the last one for us (family),” Manning said.

Noted Tulsa AD Ross Parmley: “Danny epitomizes everything our university stands for. His impact on young people will extend far beyond the TU basketball program and reach well into our campus and community. His 15 years in the NBA combined with the last nine years under one of the best coaches in the country, have helped mold him into a great teacher and coach of basketball. He most definitely brings the

Tulsa, which is expected to be one of the best teams in its conference next season, has just one scholarship to award this year and again the following year. ...

The school told Tulsa media that Maduka is in stable condition and will be kept for observation overnight.

Dear Annie: I’ve been with my husband for 15 years. He has many good qualities, but he has always struggled with shyness, low self-esteem and awkwardness. When we got together, he promised to be the financial provider. He started many careers, all of which fizzled.

Twice he’s had yearlong gaps of unemployment.

Right now, he works a minimum-wage job.

We are both in our mid-30s and recently had our first baby. I am resentful and angry that I had to return to work and put the baby in day care. I missed my baby’s first steps and first word. I feel robbed of time with my child.

My husband says the difficulty of being the provider has been too hard to overcome. He wants me to let it go and move on. But, Annie, he is perfectly capable of making it happen. I never wanted to be “Mrs. Career,” and now I feel trapped. He al-

ways has excuses for not choosing a career. He has abandoned me to carry this financial burden on my own.

I have seen a few counselors, who say to keep encouraging and believing in him, but my baby is nearly 2, and my husband is not making any effort.

My father worked two jobs, and he says there’s something wrong with a man who can’t provide for his family. I tend to believe him. Do I let the dream die and accept reality or keep encouraging him? — Sad Wife Dear Sad: There are

‘Scandal’ has elite complex “Scandal” (9 p.m., ABC) is ridiculous, but ridiculous in telling ways. Fresh-faced lawyer Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes) nearly faints when she learns she has been hired by Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). The mere mention of Pope’s name reduces the chatterbox Quinn to an awed silence.

That’s because Pope is a super problem solver, a former communications director for the White House who struck out on her own. Maybe she’s too big for the president. Pope has assembled a team of successful underlings who, over the first hour, contend with a kidnapper, a messy murder case involving a decorated veteran and political comer, and a sex scandal that could rock the Oval Office.

Pope barks orders and her minions jump. There’s no crying in her office. No dating. And, apparently, no time for sleeping. ‘‘Scandal” continues a trend in contemporary entertainment. It’s not enough to be a mere lawyer or doctor — you have to be the top one-tenth of 1 percent of all doctors in your class. You can’t merely have served in the military — you must be the most decorated soldier of your generation.

As late as the 1990s, John Grisham’s many novels celebrated lawyers with modest degrees taking on the big guys. Now you’re at the top of your Harvard class or a Navy SEAL. And you have to be gorgeous, too. And have superpowers.

This is all preposterous and slightly laughable — but no more so than “Person of Interest,” which asks us to invest God-like power in a supercomputer, or shows like “Heroes” or “Touch” that are about highly evolved super-achievers.

What, exactly, are these shows saying? Are we searching for something sublime, or being told to submit to unassailable elites who work outside of any manmade laws?

Tonight’s other highlights

Pillows and blankets on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

One contestant departs on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Becca’s mentor (Keith Carradine) chips in on “Missing” (7 p.m., ABC).

“Truck Stop USA” (7 p.m., Travel) returns for a second season.

Jack pities Pete on “30 Rock” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

Crime bosses become a “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

A new encounter knew Martin’s late wife on “Touch” (8 p.m., Fox).

Massive sculptures on “Sand Masters” (8 p.m., Travel).

Foul play claims a popular teacher on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS

Movie producer Roger Corman is 86. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is 75. Actor Michael Moriarty is 71. Actress Jane Asher is 66. Singer Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA) is 62. Actor Mitch Pileggi is 60. Rock musician Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) is 46. Country singer Troy Gentry is 45. Rapperproducer Pharrell Williams is 39.

worse things than being the main breadwinner and putting your child in day care. But the resentment and anger are problematic, and encouragement only goes so far.

Please insist that your husband be evaluated for adult ADD, and also that he get some career counseling as well as therapy to work on his negative, self-defeating attitude.

Dear Annie: My father is dying of cancer. According to the doctors, he doesn’t have long to live.

Dad and his second wife have been married for nearly 60 years.

She has some dementia.

My two younger halfbrothers have told me she will get very upset if my daughter and I go see Dad. My stepmother and I have never been close, but she was always very sweet to us in the past. I don’t want to upset her, but at the same time, I want to see my dad, and my daughter wants to visit her granddad

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, April 5: Much of what you hear or experience might not make sense to you.

Develop a way of handling the unexpected, as it will become a regular occurrence in your life. If you are single, be smart; do not consider a relationship long-term until it is. If you are attached, the two of you will have a current of excitement running through your bond.

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) Others might lure you into agreeing with their thinking, though you probably will back out.

Know that you have two different approaches to the same issue.

Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Get into your errands, work or whatever else you planned. The more involved you become, the better the quality of your day will be. Tonight: Take a walk or go to the gym, but get some exercise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be more aware of a key loved one and your admirers. Everyone seems to be pushing to have some of your time. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Tension builds. The real issue has to do with what you feel others expect. You cannot let this happen; follow through on what YOU need to do. Tonight: Feeling confused? Stay in the moment for now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Speak your mind, but be aware of others’ reactions. Exchanging ideas does not mean you need to agree. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Curb a tendency to be possessive. In fact, you could push others away with this trait. Tonight: Shop for a special item you have been wanting.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can handle whatever comes down the pike. Your ability to understand someone and move through issues with this person might be necessary. Tonight: As you like.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know when to become nearly invisible. You could find that you have the inclination to do just this right now. Tonight: Get some R and R. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Meetings, friendships and a long-term desire all mix together.

You could feel as if you’re on the verge of achieving a goal when the unexpected strikes. Tonight: Fun and games.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The only way to get a job done right is to do it yourself. Make sure you want to spend your time in this manner. Tonight: Could be late.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen, but do not plunge into a conversation. You might want to do some research on your own first. Tonight: Follow the music.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You finally are able to relate to a key individual on a one-on-one level. He or she seems ready to open up, but only for a small window. Seize the moment.

You could be overwhelmed by this person’s feelings. Tonight: Go for the togetherness scenario.

before he passes. We were able to see him for a short visit in the hospital, and once we came over when his wife was out of the house.

I know this is a stressful time for the whole family. I don’t think Dad has much more time, and I will be upset if he dies and I haven’t had a chance to say goodbye.

What should I do? — First Born Dear First Born: Go anyway. If you fear it will derail your stepmother, ask one of her sons to please take her out for dinner or shopping so you can stop by with your daughter and say goodbye. Give them two or three possible time options, and insist that they select one within the week. Our thoughts are with you.
