IMMIGRATION

Kansas officials await Arizona ruling

homelessness

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas hasn’t adopted an Arizona-like immigration law, but several current and former elected officials from Kansas have chosen sides as the issue goes before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court will hear arguments April 25 in the legal battle between the state of AriKobach zona and the federal government over the immigration law known as Senate Bill 1070.

Kris Kobach, a Republican who before being elected Kansas secretary of state gained national attention by pushing tough anti-immigration laws, helped write SB 1070. The measure was adopted by the Arizona Legislature and enacted by Gov. Jan Brewer in 2010.

The law contained a number of controversial

In Johnson County, problem is larger but harder to see

Walk through downtown Lawrence, and there’s a chance you’ll spot someone who looks homeless, or maybe you’ll run across a panhandler.

And with the region’s largest shelter, the Lawrence Community Shelter, located downtown, homelessness has a visible presence in the city.

But in Johnson County, which, according to the Pointin-Time Homeless Count, actually has more homeless OFFICE ASSISTANT PAMELA people than Douglas County GATES stands inside a room that — 315 to 226 identified in 2011 a family of four shares at The — the issue appears hidden.

In Johnson County, Carson said, the face of homelessness is somewhat different than othMiller er communities, as the area doesn’t have as high a concentration of single, homeless people. It’s mostly families, doubled up with relatives or living in cars, trying to hide their housing situation, she said.

The increasing number of homeless students in the six Johnson County public school districts also reflects a growing increase in homeless families. Since the 2007-08 school year, the number of homeless students has nearly tripled, up to more than 900, during the

2010-11 year. The definition of homelessness used by schools is different than that in the federal Point-in-Time count, which is why the student numbers are much higher.

“No one wants to think it’s in their backyard,” said Kim Brabits, Catholic Charities’ director of emergency assistance for Johnson County.

“But it’s there.”

And most homeless families in Johnson County are scattered somewhere other than shelters, as the county has two small shelters that can house only up to about 60 people.

Campus cameras keep watch for crime

VIDEO CAMERAS DOT AREAS OF THE KU CAMPUS, such as Daisy Hill, as noted by this sign, but police don’t publicize all of their locations.

Kansas University is adding extra sets of eyes to parking lots and other buildings.

And KU Police Chief Ralph Oliver is thankful for the expansion of security cameras on campus.

He believes adding cameras over the years has been

“When someone does commit a crime in front of one of those cameras, it enhances our ability to identify those suspects,” he said.

As Kansas and the rest of the country prepare for major demographic shifts, training for bilingual or multilingual students in the classroom shouldn’t be limited to a single assignment or college course, one Kansas University professor argues.

Instead, the tools should be integrated throughout the curriculum.

DEATHS RUBY ‘MAXINE’ DULTMEIER Mass of Christian Burial for Ruby “Maxine” Dultmeier, 89, Lawrence, will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Private Family interment services will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

Mrs. Dultmeier died Sunday, April 8, 2012 at Medicalodges Eudora.

She was born January 8, 1923 in St. James, MO, the daughter of John T. and Millie (Billingsley) Marshall. She was a homemaker and had lived in Lawrence over 50 years. She was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Survivors include: two daughters: Mary Grob and husband Allen and Sharon Bird and her husband Donald, both of Lawrence; granddaughter Jennifer Metsker and three great-grandchildren, Kevin, Isaac and Ava Lee, two grandsons: Michael and Kerin Grob.

defeated for office in 2010, Steve Six, a Democrat, has joined a group of more than 40 former attorneys general, who have filed a legal brief opposing SB 1070. Robert Stephan, a Republican who served as Kansas attorney general from 1979 to 1995, has also signed on in opposition.

They argue that SB 1070 makes citizens less safe.

By turning local police into immigration agents and inviting racial profiling, the law undermines the necessary trust in communities that police must have to carry out their duties, the former attorneys general say.

On the federal level, U.S. Reps. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, and Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, have joined 54 other Republican members of Congress in a legal brief supporting the Arizona law.

“In light of the federal government’s refusal or downright ineptitude in protecting American citizens along our southern border, Arizona should have the power to deter illegal immigration in accordance with federal standards,” Jenkins said.

“Instead of spending time and resources stopping states who wish to defend our borders, the federal government should address the dire need to immediately secure our borders.”

The Justice Department, however, has argued that SB 1070 will make matters worse. Requiring local law enforcement to investigate all suspected illegal immigrants diverts time and resources from

provisions that are now front and center before the Supreme Court.

One of the most controversial requires local police in Arizona to determine the immigration status of anyone stopped if there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally.

The Justice Department says regulating immigration is the job of the federal government, not the states. Officials in Arizona, a state bordering Mexico, say the feds haven’t done their jobs and that is one of the reasons for SB 1070.

In addition to legal briefs from the specific parties in the case, the Supreme Court has received approximately 40 legal briefs from others LGA ONGG TRATTON who support and oppose SB 1070, according to a reKansas City, Mass of Christian port completed by the ImKansas; two Burial for Olga M.

Although Kobach was one of the main movers behind SB 1070 and continues to provide legal representation to other cities and states in immigration cases, he said he is only indirectly involved in the Supreme Court case.

He signed a legal brief supporting Arizona’s position.

“I haven’t yet determined whether I will attend the oral arguments on the 25th or not,” Kobach said. “It will depend on how busy my schedule in Topeka is, whether any events arise that require me to be in Topeka, and whether or not I decide to take a vacation day,” he said.

During the 2012 legislative session, Kobach urged Kansas legislators to pass a bill similar to the Arizona statute.

“Unless Kansas acts, we will become the No. 1 destination for illegal aliens in the Midwest,” he said earlier this year.

But the proposal hasn’t gotten far in the Kansas Legislature as several business and religious groups lined up in opposition.

At a recent meeting of business owners, Gov. Sam Brownback, also a Republican, said the Legislature should leave illegal immigration to the federal government.

“I think it’s primarily a federal issue,” the governor said.

Edwards Campus cameras KU is also installing cameras for the first time on the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.

While the cameras can aid law enforcement and possibly deter crime, he said, that’s only one piece of the puzzle.

“It’s important for people to understand that cameras don’t catch criminals. They are witnesses,” Oliver said. “They may alert us to something that’s going on. They’re not a substitute for one’s personal concern on safety and taking steps to either call us for escorts at night or walk with individuals to your car, that type of thing.

It’s not a substitution for their personal safety.”

KU sees rise in applicants from China, India

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

As colleges and universities across the country report an uptick in the numbers of applications they’re getting from international students,

Kansas University is no exception.

Nationally, schools are seeing more and more applications from China, according to a report from the Council of Graduate Schools.

Nationwide, this fall’s ap-

plications from that country are up 18 percent for master’s and doctoral programs from a year ago, the report showed.

KU, however, is seeing a higher percentage increase from India, said Thomas Heilke, dean of graduate studies at KU.

Race helps clinic’s patients in the long run Kansas Half Marathon to benefit Health Care Access

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

During last year’s Kansas Half Marathon, a spectator mistakenly flipped a sign that threw about 500 runners off course. The incident caused an uproar, and race beneficiary Health Care Access listened.

This year, there is a new event coordinator and race director, and the event already has 1,838 participants registered — 400 more than last year.

“We took all of the comments from last year’s event and applied them to this year,” said Kim Johnson, event coordinator. “We took the negative and turned it into a positive.”

The April 22 event includes a half-marathon and 5K race, and onemile children’s fun run.

There will not be a 10K race this year. The event will start and finish in downtown Lawrence at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. There will be about 200 volunteers

BRIEFLY Spirit union to seek arbitration WICHITA — The technical and engineering union for Spirit AeroSystems says it’s preparing to file a lawsuit in an effort to obtain an outside arbitrator.

The Wichita Eagle reported that the union alleges Spirit refuses to honor the grievance process from a dispute over changes to the employee rating system.

The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace represents 900 Spirit AeroSystems engineers and technical workers in its bargaining units.

Students

The union says Spirit is refusing to honor the contractual grievance process.

It says that under the process, disputes regarding alleged violations of bargaining agreements typically go to an independent arbitrator for a final judgment.

Spirit AeroSystems spokesman Ken Evans says it would be unfortunate if SPEEA chooses to take legal action and stressed that Spirit “values” its labor unions.

Group accuses sen. of mail improprieties TOPEKA — An anti-tax

international programs, said China still is far and away the country that sends the most international students to campus, making the percentages a little deceiving.

“Your base is that much higher,” he said.

India has had 270 students apply in 2012, while China had 872. Both countries have increasing populations and a growing middle class, Bankart said.

In China, however, a different family structure, with families limited to having only one child, can mean it’s easier for those children to attend school overseas with grandparents, aunts and uncles helping out.

“That whole network is able to leverage their funds collectively to provide a student with the funds to get an education that will change their life,” Bankart said.

Heilke said KU’s overall increase in graduate international applications — up 9 percent from last year — is right in line with the national average, as cited in the Council of Graduate Students report. Much of the uptick is in the sciences, particularly in the life sciences, he said.

Bankart said KU is seeking to increase its graduate and undergraduate enrollment of international students.

Some new measures are being put in place, including an effort to reach out to international students with information about application deadlines and other details, instead of simply responding to emailed questions.

Other programs currently under review for international students include an orientation program and a program to offer additional academic support in the students’ first year, Bankart said.

Johnson said participants are coming from as far away as Florida and California, but many are from the neighboring states of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma.

About 450 are from Lawrence.

Last year’s event raised $27,000, about 8 percent of the nonprofit’s annual budget. The clinic serves about 3,000 patients.

KU’s School of Law is also involved in recruiting international students.

Law Dean Stephen Mazza said the school operates a two-year program ending in a juris doctorate degree, designed for students who already have earned a law degree in their home country.

Mazza said the law school has not had a focus on China but has tried to step up its recruitment efforts with law schools in other countries.

The law school is not trying to expand the program beyond its current levels of eight to 10 students, Mazza said. The students come to the law school from all over the world, he said.

“We feel that the international students enrich the classroom,” he said.

“But we don’t want to overwhelm the classroom.”

“I was used to running around and jumping, and then all of sudden, I wasn’t doing as much and I was just getting stiffer and stiffer and stiffer,” Thomas said.

Then she joined the walking group with a close friend who uses Health Care Access and now is one of the most dedicated members, participating every day. She’s up to two miles and might participate in this year’s Kansas Half Marathon’s 5K race.

Driving school owner gets 8 mos. in prison LIBERAL — A southwest Kansas driving school owner has been sentenced to eight months in prison

for accepting money in exchange for passing grades and commercial driver’s license certificates.

The Liberal Leader & Times reported that 58-year-old Lyle Seitter of Liberal also must serve probation and pay restitution.

Seitter has pleaded guilty to felony counts of commercial bribery and making a false writing and a misde-

METHODS OF COUNTING Two separate measures for identifying the homeless population are used in this article.

Here’s the difference: ! The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development conducts a Point-in-Time Homeless Count every two years in January. This measure reflects the number of homeless identified during a survey conducted across the country on one specific day.

Every other year, the count seeks to identify the number of homeless people in a shelter

on one particular day. This type of survey, however, often fails to identify those “doubled up” with friends or family. ! The U.S. Department of Education requires that public schools try to identify the number of homeless students in schools. This measure is more encompassing than the Point-in-Time count and includes any student not in a permanent living situation.

Homeless students are eligible for additional services from the school district.

but it’ll do as Miller saves for her own place. Some of the families cram four people into the 12-foot by 12-foot rooms.

Miller’s story of homelessness is typical, say advocates from the network of social service agencies working with the homeless in Johnson County.

A lost job, a few unfortunate situations, or a lack of strong family support are drawing more people into homelessness.

“There have been a lot of people who are at the edge,” Carson said. With

the bad economy, “they fell.”

Miller’s hunt for a job is consistent with the other stories Carson hears. Miller spent six months looking for work but no luck.

“I applied anywhere and everywhere,” Miller said.

“We were always able to get people employed” in Johnson County, Carson said, but that’s not the case anymore.

tinues to strain the area’s social service agencies, Brabits said.

“Sometimes it’s just piecemeal,” Brabits said, describing how the few agencies work together, cobbling together resources for the homeless.

“It’s heartbreaking when you run out of funds.”

There doesn’t seem to be a consensus among Johnson County social service agencies about whether the number of homeless will continue to grow in the county.

The 2009 Point-in-Time Homeless Count, which is mandated by the U.S. De-

partment of Housing and Urban Development and seeks to identify the number of homeless across the country, showed 210 homeless people in Johnson County in 2009. That number grew 50 percent, to 315, in 2011. Another count will be conducted in 2013.

Even though the social system is stressed and the numbers to keep growing, Miller credits the advocates in helping her climb out of homelessness.

Miller obtained her Certified Nursing Assistant license, and is working full time, making $9.50 an hour. In a short time, Miller said she thinks she’ll have enough saved for a two-bedroom apartment.

“Just keep working,” Miller said.

By this time next year, Miller said she hopes to be able to “take care of my family without having to rely on someone else.”

NATURAL GAS

Study links autism, obesity in pregnancies

Glut means drilling boom must slow

By Jonathan Fahey

“

There hasn’t been enough demand to NEW YORK — The U.S. use up all the supply natural gas market is being pushed into the bursting at the seams.

So much natural gas is market.”

Associated Press

being produced that soon there may be nowhere left to put the country’s swelling surplus. After years of explosive growth, natural gas producers are retrenching.

The underground salt caverns, depleted oil fields and aquifers that store natural gas are rapidly filling up after a balmy winter depressed demand for home heating.

The glut has benefited businesses and homeowners that use natural gas. But with natural gas prices at a 10-year low — and falling — companies that produce the fuel are becoming victims of their drilling successes. Their stock prices are falling in anticipation of declining profits and scaled-back growth plans.

Some of the nation’s biggest natural gas produc-

— Jen Snyder, head of North American gas for the research firm Wood Mackenzie ers, including Chesapeake Energy, ConocoPhillips and Encana Corp., have announced plans to slow down.

“They’ve gotten way ahead of themselves, and winter got way ahead of them too,” says Jen Snyder, head of North American gas for the research firm Wood Mackenzie. “There hasn’t been enough demand to use up all the supply being pushed into the market.”

So far, efforts to limit production have barely made a dent. Unless the pace of production declines sharply or demand picks up significantly this summer, analysts say the

nation’s storage facilities could reach their limits by fall.

That would cause the price of natural gas, which has been halved over the past year, to nosedive.

Citigroup commodities analyst Anthony Yuen says the price of natural gas — now $2.08 per 1,000 cubic feet — could briefly fall below $1.

“There would be no floor,” he says.

Since October, the number of drilling rigs exploring for natural gas has fallen by 30 percent to 658, according to the energy services company Baker Hughes. Some of the sharpest drop-offs have been in the Haynesville Shale in northwestern Louisiana and east Texas and the Fayetteville Shale in central Arkansas. But natural gas production is still growing, the result of a five-year drilling boom that has peppered the country with wells.

The workers and rigs aren’t just being sent home. They are instead

being put to work drilling for oil, whose price has averaged more than $100 a barrel for months. The oil rig count in the U.S is at a 25-year high. This activity is adding to the natural gas glut because natural gas is almost always a byproduct of oil drilling.

Analysts say that before long, companies could have to start slowing the gas flow from existing wells or even take the rare and expensive step of capping off some wells completely.

“Something is going to have to give,” says Maria Sanchez, manager of energy analysis at Bentek Energy, a research firm.

U.S. natural gas production has boomed in recent years as a result of new drilling techniques that allow companies to unlock fuel trapped in shale formations. Last year, the U.S. produced an average of 63 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, a 24 percent increase from 2006. But over that period consumption has grown half as fast.

Police: Shootings may have been revenge

By Justin Juozapavicius Associated Press

TULSA, OKLA. — Two men were arrested Sunday in a shooting rampage that left three people dead and terrorized Tulsa’s black community, and police said one suspect may have been trying to avenge his father’s shooting two years ago by a black man.

Police identified both suspects as white, while all five victims in the rampage early Friday were black.

Police and the FBI said it is too soon to say whether the attacks in Tulsa’s predominantly black north side were racially motivated. Police spokesman Jason Willingham said that investigators are considering many possible motives but based on Facebook postings, revenge appeared to be a factor.

In a Thursday update on Facebook that appeared to have been written by 19-year-old Jake England, he angrily blamed his fa-

ther’s death on a black man and used a racial slur.

He said Thursday was the second anniversary of his father’s death.

“It’s hard not to go off,” given the anniversary and the death of his fiancee earlier this year, the posting said.

“It’s apparent from the posting on the Facebook page that he had an ax to grind, and that was possibly part of the motive,” Willingham said. “If you read the Facebook post and see what he’s accused of doing, you can see there’s link between the two of them.”

The Facebook page had been taken down by Sunday afternoon.

A family friend, Susan Sevenstar, told The Associated Press that England was “a good kid” and “a good, hard worker,” who “was not in his right mind” after losing his father and the January suicide of his fiancee, with whom he’d recently had a baby.

“If anybody is trying to

say this is a racial situation, they’ve got things confused,” said Sevenstar, who described England as Cherokee Indian. “He didn’t care what your color was.

It wasn’t a racist thing.”

The Tulsa World reported that England’s father, Carl, was shot in the chest during a scuffle with a man who had tried to break into his daughter’s apartment.

England later died.

The man charged in the shooting is serving a sixyear sentence on a weapons charge, according to Department of Corrections records.

Long-range rocket in position at launch pad in North Korea

By Jean H. Lee Associated Press

TONGCHANG-RI, NORTH KOREA — North Korean space officials have moved all three stages of a long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch, vowing to push ahead with their plan in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity.

The Associated Press was among foreign news agencies allowed a firsthand look Sunday at preparations under way at the coastal Sohae Satellite Station in northwestern North Korea.

North Korea announced plans last month to launch an observation satellite using a three-stage rocket during mid-April celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. The U.S., Japan, Britain and other nations have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, warning that firing the long-range rocket would violate U.N. resolutions and North Korea’s promise to refrain from engaging in nuclear and missile activity.

North Korean space officials have moved a long-range rocket into position for this week’s controversial satellite launch, vowing Sunday to push ahead with their plans in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity. tific achievement intended to improve the nation’s faltering economy by providing detailed surveys of the countryside.

“Our country has the right and also the obligation to develop satellites and launching vehicles,” Jang Myong Jin, general manager of the launch facility, said during a tour, citing the U.N. space treaty. “No matter what others say, we are doing this for peaceful purposes.”

Experts say the Unha3 rocket slated for liftoff between April 12 and 16 could also test long-range missile technology that might be used to strike the U.S. and other targets.

Unha means galaxy in English.

North Korea has tested two atomic devices but is not believed to have mastered the technology needed to mount a warhead on a long-range missile.

copter, police arrested Jake England and Alvin Watts, 32, about 2 a.m. Sunday at a home in Turley, just north of Tulsa. The two men were roommates, and officers went to their home, then followed them several blocks to another home, where they were arrested without incident, police said.

Authorities said they planned to charge them with murder and other offenses. Task force commander Maj. Walter Evans said that investigators recovered a weapon but that it was not clear who fired the shots. They also found a truck that had been burned.

CHICAGO — Obesity during pregnancy may increase chances for having a child with autism, provocative new research suggests.

It’s among the first studies linking the two, and though it doesn’t prove obesity causes autism, the authors say their results raise public health concerns because of the high level of obesity in this country.

In the study, HEALTH women who were obese during pregnancy were about 67 percent more likely than normal-weight women to have autistic children.

They also faced double the risk of having children with other developmental delays.

On average, women face a 1 in 88 chance of having a child with autism; the results suggest that obesity during pregnancy would increase that to a 1 in 53 chance, the authors said.

The study was released online today in Pediatrics.

Wallace, famed for his tough interviews on “60 Minutes,” died Saturday. He was 93.

Mike Wallace, ‘60 Minutes’ interrogator, dies at age 93

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — “Mike Wallace is here to see you.”

The “60 Minutes” newsman had such a fearsome reputation that it was often said that those were the most dreaded words in the English language, capable of reducing an interview subject to a shaking, sweating mess.

Wallace, who won his 21st and final Emmy Award at 89, died Saturday in the New Canaan, Conn., care facility where he had lived the last few years of his life. He was 93.

Wallace didn’t just interview people. He interrogated them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them pitilessly. His weapons were many: thorough research, a cocked eyebrow, a skeptical “Come on” and a question so direct it took your breath away.

He was well aware that his reputation arrived at an interview before he did, said Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and Wallace’s longtime producer at “60 Minutes.”

BRIEFLY Afghans, U.S. sign deal on night raids KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The U.S. and Afghanistan signed a deal Sunday giving Afghans authority over raids of Afghan homes, resolving one of the most contentious issues between the two wartime allies.

The majority of these raids are nighttime operations in which U.S. and Afghan troops descend without warning on homes or residential compounds searching for insurgents.

The raids are widely resented by Afghans, and President Hamid Karzai had repeatedly called for a halt to all night raids by international forces. He said for months that they would have to stop before he would sign a much-anticipated pact governing the long-term U.S. presence in Afghanistan.

Both countries have said that they wanted that bigger deal signed before the NATO summit in May, so the night raids agreement announced Sunday makes hitting that deadline possible.

Contracts expire for many at AT&T NEW YORK — About 40,000 AT&T landline workers are staying on the job this week without a contract, their union said Sunday.

The workers’ contracts expired over the weekend, raising the possibility of a strike. But the Communications Workers of America and AT&T Inc. said they’ll keep working on a new deal.

CWA spokeswoman Candice Johnson said union representatives met with AT&T on Sunday after talks ended late on Saturday. She doesn’t know how long it will take to reach an agreement.

The employees will continue to receive the same wages and benefits as before. If negotiations break down, they still have the option to call for a walkout.

MIKE WALLACE, longtime CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent, is seen during an interview at his office in New York in this May 8, 2006, photo.

“He loved it,” Fager said Sunday. “He loved that part of Mike Wallace. He loved being Mike Wallace.

He loved the fact that if he showed up for an interview, it made people nervous. ... He knew, and he knew that everybody else knew, that he was going to get to the truth. And that’s what motivated him.”

Wallace made “60 Minutes” compulsively watchable, television’s first newsmagazine that became appointment viewing on Sunday nights.

His last interview, in January 2008, was with Roger Clemens on his alleged steroid use. Slowed by a triple bypass later that month and the ravages

of time on a once-sharp mind, he retired from public life.

During the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, he asked Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini — then a feared figure — what he thought about being called “a lunatic” by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Khomeini answered by predicting Sadat’s assassination.

Late in his career, he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, and challenged him: “This isn’t a real democracy, come on!” Putin’s aides tried to halt the interview; Putin said he was the president, he’ll decide what to do.

“Many people who weathered a Mike Wallace interview grew to respect him greatly and, you know, have great regard for him because I don’t recall anybody ever saying to me, ‘He took a cheap shot’ or ‘He did the obvious,’ or that he was, you know, playing some kind of game,” Fox News Channel Chairman Roger Ailes said on Sunday. “He actually was trying to serve the audience, and that’s what made him great.”

Start of 2012, March shatter U.S. heat records

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s been so warm in the United States this year, especially in March, that national records weren’t just broken, they were deep-fried.

Temperatures in the lower 48 states were 8.6 degrees above normal for March and 6 degrees higher than average for the first three months of the year, according to calculations by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That far exceeds the old records.

The magnitude of how unusual the year has been in the U.S. has alarmed some meteorologists who have warned about global warming. One climate scientist said it’s the weather equivalent of a baseball player on steroids, with old records obliterated.

“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is weird.

This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who specializes in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a guilty pleasure. You’re out enjoying this nice March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”

It’s not just March.

“It’s been ongoing for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C. Meteorologists say an unusual confluence of several weather patterns, including La Niña, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be blamed on global warming, Couch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of manmade climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.

“

It’s a guilty pleasure. You’re out enjoying this nice March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”

— Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who specializes in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

It’s important to note that this unusual winter heat is mostly a North America phenomenon. Much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere has been cold, said NOAA meteorologist Martin Hoerling.

The first quarter of 2012 broke the January-March record by 1.4 degrees. Usually records are broken by just one- or two-tenths of a degree. U.S. temperature records date to 1895.

The atypical heat goes back even further. The U.S. winter of 2010-2011 was slightly cooler than normal and one of the snowiest in recent years, but after that things started heating up.

The summer of 2011 was the second warmest summer on record.

The winter that just ended, which in some places was called the year without winter, was the fourth warmest on record. Since last April, it’s been the hottest 12-month stretch on record, Crouch said.

But the month where the warmth turned especially weird was March.

Normally, March averages 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time — in January 2006 — was the country as a whole that much hotter than normal for an entire month.

Syria scuttles truce plan with new demands Guarantees from opposition to lay down weapons sought

By Karin Laub Associated Press

BEIRUT — A U.N.-brokered plan to stop the bloodshed in Syria effectively collapsed Sunday after President Bashar Assad’s government raised new, last-minute demands that the country’s largest rebel group swiftly rejected.

The truce plan, devised

by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, was supposed to go into effect on Tuesday, with a withdrawal of Syrian forces from population centers, followed within 48 hours by a cease-fire by both sides in the uprising against four decades of repressive rule by the Assad family.

But on Sunday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said that ahead of any troop pullback, the government needs written guarantees from opposition fighters that they will lay down their weapons.

The commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, Riad al-Asaad, said that while his group is ready to abide by a truce, it does not recognize the regime “and for that reason we will not give guarantees.”

Annan’s spokesman had no comment on the setback. The envoy has not said what would happen if his deadlines were ignored.

Even before the setback, expectations were low that the Assad regime would honor the agreement.

Russia, an Assad ally that supports the ceasefire plan, may now be the only one able to salvage

it. The rest of the international community, unwilling to contemplate military intervention, has little leverage over Syria.

In recent days, instead of preparing for a withdrawal, regime troops have stepped up shelling attacks on residential areas, killing dozens of civilians every day in what the opposition described as a frenzied rush to gain ground. Activists said at least 21 people were killed in violence on Sunday and as many as 40.

“Mortar rounds are falling like rain,” said activist Tarek Badrakhan, describing an assault in the central city of Homs on Sunday. He spoke via Skype as explosions were heard in the background. The

regime is exploiting the truce plan “to kill and commit massacres,” he Assad said.

Just as Annan complained Sunday that the escalation was “unacceptable,” Syria said its acceptance of the Annan deal last week was misunderstood and suggested it would not be able to withdraw its troops under current conditions.

In addition to demanding written guarantees from the opposition, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdessi said Syria also wants assurances from Annan that Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia — Assad’s most active critics — halt “financing and arming of terrorist groups.”

Time to choose It’s time for the Lawrence school board to set a direction for the district on elementary school consolidation.

S

omeone, either on the Lawrence school board or in the district’s administrative offices, has decided to call the question on elementary school consolidation.

Tonight’s school board agenda includes an item labeled “Approval of Recommendation for Elementary Schools.” Here’s the recommendation up for consideration: “The administration recommends that the Board of Education decide the consolidation issue so the district can move forward toward a possible bond election in 2013.” It’s a pretty big decision. Does the administration have a recommendation on whether to pursue consolidation?

Next on the agenda are two suggested motions for school board members to consider. (As an aside, while it’s routine for Lawrence school administrators to suggest motions on agenda items, it seems a little insulting. Are the board members not smart enough to craft their own motions?) Anyway, the two motion options are: “I move that Lawrence Public Schools keep current elementary schools open,” or “I move that the Board of Education authorize the administration to recommend further consolidation of elementary schools.”

That’s the multimillion-dollar question that school board members need to answer.

Background information in the agenda notes that the board voted in 2010 to combine the East Heights Early Childhood Center with Kennedy School, then charged a community task force to study consolidation. Acting on that group’s recommendation, the board closed Wakarusa Valley School last fall and formed another working group charged with coming up with a plan to consolidate six central-city elementary schools into three or four schools. The final report issued by that group about six weeks ago offered a consensus on only one issue: A bond issue is necessary to make repairs and additions to existing schools. The group offered no plan for consolidating schools.

So the ball is back in the school board’s court.

Four new members joined the sevenmember board last June, and their commitment to school consolidation appears less solid than that of their predecessors.

Consolidation almost certainly would involve more than simply closing a school or two and dispersing those students to other buildings. The likely scenario would be for the district to build a new school or make major expansions to an existing school to facilitate consolidation. That’s where the bond issue comes in.

At this point, board members need to look at a number of factors. Enrollment projections supplied to the working group predicted a 4.8 percent increase in elementary enrollment by the 2016-17 school year.

Is that realistic given Lawrence’s overall stagnant growth? If the goal of consolidation is to improve efficiency and perhaps save the district money, how long will it take to recoup the investment of a major bond issue to build and repair schools?

And how likely is it that a bond issue would pass in the current economy?

Perhaps the biggest question mark is hanging over Topeka right now. Whether or not the Legislature approves major school finance changes proposed by Gov. Brownback this year, the state of school finance clearly is in flux and probably will remain so for the next several years.

No one said the answers would be easy, but at least the questions are back on the school board’s table, where they belong, not with a volunteer group struggling to figure out which direction the school board and administration want to go.

So which will it be, school board? Motion 1 or Motion 2?

GOP contests rumble below surface SILVER SPRING, MD. — Five different political contests are being conducted right now. Only two are evident to the naked eye.

The first of the visible contests pits Mitt Romney against Rick Santorum for the Republican presidential nomination. The results here in Maryland and in Wisconsin last week tell us who has a commanding lead there.

The second visible contest pits Romney against President Barack Obama.

That one began this month with their twin addresses to the convention of editors in Washington. Obama has a four-point lead, according to

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

Now the party is packed with passion, but not necessarily primed for resolution.

Indeed, the emergence of Romney probably postpones the resolution of much of the Republican dispute.”

a Gallup poll conducted last week for USA Today.

Now to the three contests below the surface.

One is being mounted by Romney to wrest control of convention delegates most people assumed were the property of Santorum and Newt Gingrich. This is a subterranean game Romney likely will eventually win, quietly, slowly — but decisively.

Battle for character of GOP The second contest barely beneath the surface is over the character of the GOP. It is part of the eternal struggle between populists and plutocrats. Don’t think of this as a proxy for Romney vs.

Santorum no matter how many times the former senator goes bowling. This class struggle began before they arrived on the scene and will continue after their departure. It is the mirror of the struggle among Democrats between the circle around Franklin Roosevelt, rooted in the faculty offices of Harvard, and the Southern Democrats, rooted in county courthouses and in the kennels of the yellow dogs.

The final contest is over

the nature of conservatism.

It may look like the struggle for control of the GOP, but it’s larger than that. Conservatism is a movement; the Republicans are a party.

For many years they lived separate lives and may do so again. The struggle over the character of the party is fundamentally being conducted in the heart, the struggle over the nature of conservatism in the head.

New conservatism The week that the founding father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater, won the 1964 Republican presidential nomination, political scientist Andrew Hacker assessed the new movement — planted in the same soil that created John Kennedy’s New Frontier and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society — this way: “The new conservatism is the result of the democratic process itself: the widening of new opportunities for millions of Americans who have risen to a better location in life and who at all costs want to ensure that they remain there.”

That description now looks antiquarian. Modern Conservatism 2.0 — created in a world where Goldwater is a memory for all but a few, where his protege Ronald Reagan is a symbol but not an intimate presence, and where vast swaths of working Americans have a conservative impulse — has an economic component and a social component. It is chary of government involvement in the economy but open to government restrictions in social and cultural life.

How wealthy a country this must be to afford, or to tolerate, five vital contests at once! But this is a time of economic privation and of political riches; not since the 1930s, when the economy was ailing and the Democrats were remaking themselves, did America have so

many parallel contests. And during that period — indeed for much of the era between 1916 and 1960 — the Republicans snoozed, putting up worthy candidates with formidable records (Charles Evans Hughes, Herbert Hoover, Thomas Dewey) but who did not stir the drink, nor roil the waters.

Today, passions among Republicans run high — itself a great departure from the norm for almost a majority of Americans, who recall the GOP as a sleepy outpost of politicians who defined themselves by what they were against (the New Deal, mostly but not always fervently) and what they wanted to promote (prudence and thrift, mostly). When the Republicans of yore held a shootout, it was over the identity of their nominee, not over the ideology of their party. This was true even in the principal ideological struggle of the era, in 1952 between Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Eisenhower, without any discernible ideology, prevailed.

Packed with passion Now the party is packed with passion, but not necessarily primed for resolution.

Indeed, the emergence of Romney probably postpones the resolution of much of the Republican dispute.

He personifies the managerial wing of the Republican Party, the strain that included Hoover, 1940 nominee Wendell Willkie, to some extent Dewey and certainly both Presidents Bush. But he is at best a convert to movement conservatism and, to some in that movement, a sheep in sheep’s clothing.

Indeed, to conservatives he is reminiscent of Averell Harriman’s 1967 assessment of Maxwell Taylor: “He is a very handsome man, and a very impressive one,” Harri-

PUBLIC FORUM

Koch causes To the editor: The March 31 Saturday Column was published one day too soon. It should have been an April Fools’ joke on April 1. To espouse that the Koch Brothers (Charles and David) are examples of what is correct (not right!), takes too many liberties with the editor’s pen.

True, Kochs give to cancer research (maybe as a result of a guilty conscience — they use cancer-causing chemicals, formaldehyde, for one — in Koch industries and have been rated in the top ten polluters in industry). Their contributions to universities have been in return for hiring ultra-conservative professors.

However, the Kochs support ultra-conservative, outof-the-mainstream causes and people who would: 1) devalue women and their power to make decisions in their lives; 2) defund arts and cultural programs; and 3) deregulate most all business/ industry, taking us back to the dark ages in dealing with the environment and worker rights. If the Koch brothers have their way, income taxes, the most non-regressive tax we have, would go away

as a funding source for government. The Koch brothers’ (and those they contribute to) idea of less government is actually no government — except when dealing with abortions or gay rights.

An old adage “you are known by the friends you keep” should be adjusted to “you are known by the causes you support.” They have every right to do this. They just need to be exposed so people know what they are actually doing and judge accordingly.

Craig Grant, Lawrence

Selling freedom To the editor: In his recent commentary, Dolph Simons Jr. devotes almost half a page to extol the virtues of Charles and David Koch. He wonders why the people of Lawrence and Kansas don’t appreciate and respect them. Where is the love, asks Mr. Simons? Let me assure him that the Kochs’ modus operandi is well known throughout the country, and it’s not very flattering. Many are convinced these two men think big money will buy them all the government they will ever need to control every phase of our lives. The words

man said, “and he is always wrong.” Probably unfair to both men, but there are no points for fairness in war or politics.

Definition delayed While the 2012 primaries and caucuses likely postponed the resolution of the battle over the character of the GOP, they intensified the conflict over the nature of conservatism, one that Reagan kept under the lid of the boiling pot but which began to spill over in 1988, scalding conservatives to this day.

Santorum is one of the first Republican politicians to electrify both economic and social conservatives, but his hopes in the visible part of this campaign are dwindling.

Santorum may in fact be conducting his last stand in his home state, which ordinarily would be an advantage but in this peculiar year may be peculiarly unfortunate for the onetime Pennsylvania senator, who was soundly defeated in his re-election battle six years ago.

Santorum forces continually point to May for their breakout — the terrain there favors him and the issues will be in his wheelhouse — but his campaign may not endure that long, in part because of Romney’s diligence in one of the invisible contests, the process of peeling away delegates that look as if they are in the Santorum and Gingrich columns but in reality are not settled anywhere.

There is a tropism to politics, and it favors the frontrunner. Watch how Romney, who lost the Iowa caucuses in January by a handful of votes, will look like the triumphant conqueror of Iowa in August. The subterranean contests count. Some of them last decades. Some of them choose nominees.

Once government as we know it is diminished, who will protect us from the plutocrats? I often think of Enron and the heartache that cost millions of Americans. That’s one example of deregulation that the Kochs would greedily embrace if given the chance.

Robinson to declare for draft today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Weis fixing grades The most alarming statistic from the atrocious 2011 Kansas University football season wasn’t that the 59 points surrendered in a loss to Kansas State ranked as the fourth-most allowed, rather another number that starts with five.

The football team, late in the academic year, reportedly was headed for more than 50 “F’s” in the classroom. Bad numbers on the scoreboard and classroom tend to keep company. The words that make up the term student-athlete are linked inextricably by one word: discipline. You don’t have it in the classroom, you’re not going to have it on the football field.

Nobody needs to inform first-year Kansas football coach Charlie Weis of that.

He’s using more than the university’s accomplished academic-support staff headed by perennial bestsupporting actor Paul Buskirk to drive home that link.

“I can tell you with a smile on my face that coming into the Friday before spring break we had not missed five classes from the entire team,” Weis said the last time he addressed the media. “Every time somebody missed, it was horrible.

And I’m known to use peer pressure as well. So to have all your teammates there and be totally embarrassed for blowing off class, it’s a very good teaching tool.”

Public humiliation hurts on the inside. Private, oneon-one sessions with new strength-and-conditioning coach Scott Holsopple hurt everywhere.

“You really don’t want to do that,” Weis said. “Holsopple, Saturday morning, 6 o’clock, that’s all I can say. You really don’t want that one. You really don’t.

You don’t want to be there.

I don’t want to be around Holsopple any time, but at 6 o’clock Saturday morning, when he doesn’t have to be here, it’s really not good.”

Weis makes avoiding those sessions sound uncomplicated.

“Everyone knows that when you go to college, there are two major things that have to happen,” he said. “ You have to go to class, and you have to use academic support. If you do those two things, you should be able to thrive in college. So if you don’t do those two things, OK, then there’s a chance that something bad can happen. ...

I’m expecting that to show huge benefits come middle of May.” Improved discipline in the classroom tends to carry onto the field. But Weis isn’t testing his new hip with back flips inspired by his players’ improved classroom attendance.

“I would be discouraged at myself if the first part didn’t happen,” Weis said. “... It’s far from perfect now. Let me just say we don’t have a bunch of tin soldiers that everything is perfect. I’ve already had to get on them about this class, starting to drowse off and things like that. I get all those reports, and they’re all addressed. ... But I’m looking at a direct correlation, if we can get (academic performance) fixed, then we can get (football performance) fixed.”

Kansas University junior basketball forward Thomas Robinson will announce his intentions to enter the NBA Draft at an 11:30 a.m. news conference today in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU coach Bill Self confirmed to the Journal-World on Sunday that Robinson would be turning pro. Self indicated he would say no

more until the news conference.

The news of the 6-foot10 Robinson’s leaving, of course, comes as no shock. It has long been believed Robinson would be entering his name in the 2012 NBA Draft following this, his junior season.

He’s listed as the No. 4 pick overall by draftexpress. com and No. 2 overall pick by nbadraft.net.

Robinson, who was a first-

team consensus All-American and runner-up to Kentucky’s Anthony Davis for the Wooden Award and AP player of the year, averaged 17.9 points and 11.8 rebounds a game as the Jayhawks stormed to their eighth consecutive Big 12 title and reached the national championship game.

Last week, Self told the JW’s Tom Keegan: “The thing is, he’s earned the right to move on. This kid finished

second for national player of the year, consensus AllAmerican, he’s going to get his jersey hung, won the league, took his team to the finals. And in the finals, everybody talks about Anthony Davis, who was great. Thomas had 18 and 17. Missed two dunks, had 18 and 17. He’s a stud, and it’s time. So many of us have said or believed you’ve got to strike while Please see HOOPS, page 3B

BUBBA WATSON HUGS HIS MOTHER, MOLLIE, after winning the Masters. Watson won on the second playoff hole Sunday in Augusta, Ga.

Watson winds up in green

By Mark Herrmann Newsday

AUGUSTA, GA. — As Bubba Watson approached the eightinch putt that would change his life forever, fans started celebrating wildly. He put a stop to that, motioning as if to say, “Whoa, not so fast.” The thing is, he still was not sure what might happen next.

“I’ve never had a dream go this far,” he said after he had won the Masters. “I can’t really say it’s a dream come true.”

He beat Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday after pulling off a circus shot that trumped even Oosthuizen’s historic double eagle on the second hole. Even Watson could not explain what had led up to the latest, greatest installment of Bubba Golf — the hooked wedge from the right trees 160 yards from the hole that allowed him the luxury of a two-putt par on the 10th hole to win.

Here is how he saw the whole thing in retrospect, during his news conference: “I know I made bogey on 12, and then I birdied four holes in a row. Nervous on every shot, every putt. I got in these trees and hit a crazy shot that I saw in my head and somehow I’m here talking to you with a green jacket on.”

Watson is officially the first Bubba ever to win that garment. He is rare in many other ways, too. He never has taken a golf lesson in his life; he just sees shots in his head and hits them. The Bagdad, Fla., native and former University of Georgia golfer recently

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN REACTS after missing a putt on the second playoff hole. bought the first General Lee, the Dodge Charger used in the TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

And the green jacket wasn’t even the article of clothing most on his mind this week.

He and his wife, Angie, a former U. of Georgia basketball player, adopted a month-old baby, Caleb, on March 26.

“I’ve never changed a diaper yet,” he said.

Even though he said, “Golf is not my everything,” the truth is, the instant he made that short putt, he started crying uncontrollably. It is just that the adoption process was as daunting and rewarding as winning a major.

“The first date me and Angie ever had, she told me she was going to have to adopt. I

said, ‘That’s fine. I said if God tells us he wants us to adopt, we’ll adopt,’” the man of faith said Sunday, while his wife and son spent Easter at home.

About the whole day, the golfer said, “This is a blessing.”

It looked like it would be Oosthuizen’s day when he made that double eagle. Watson shook his hand on the third tee and confessed he wanted to high-five him but thought it wouldn’t look good. The final round took its usual wacky turns, with Phil Mickelson, the presumptive favorite based on his three green jackets, making triple bogey on No. 4.

ANAHEIM, CALIF. (AP) — Once the Kansas City Royals weathered the opening-day hype around Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels, the majors’ youngest team calmly showed why baseball might want to start getting excited about it, too.

Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler homered and drove in three runs apiece, and the Royals beat the Angels, 7-3, Sunday, taking two of three in their season-opening series.

Jonathan Sanchez (1-0) survived through five innings to win his first start with the Royals, who dampened the revamped Angels’ much-hyped home debut with two victories after getting shut out on Friday. For a club with 16 losing seasons in the last 17 years, the weekend was undeniably exciting.

“We had one bad inning in the whole series, really,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said, referring to the Angels’ five-run eighth Friday night. “Besides that, we played great. ... We knew there would be a lot of hype.

They’ve got a phenomenal team, and we knew it would be a big challenge, but we stood up and played them extremely well.”

Butler hit a two-run homer off Ervin Santana (0-1) in the first inning that barely eluded Peter Bourjos’ glove at the center field wall, and Hosmer added a two-run shot in the fifth before scoring his third run of the day on Butler’s double in the seventh. Hosmer, the Royals’ prized 22-year-old first baseman, also homered Saturday, getting off to a dynamic start to his first full major league season.

“It was a good test for our ball team,” Hosmer said. “I think this was a big statement for us to take two of three. It was big for our team to bounce back and take the series.”

COMING TUESDAY s +ANSAS 4HOMAS 2OBINSON HOLDS NEWS CONFERENCE ON HIS ."! DECISION s +5 MEN S BASKETBALL BANQUET

Dominant Serena wins Family Circle CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Serena Williams has plenty to keep her busy. There’s college classes, a relaunch of her clothing line and a possible move to Paris.

And, oh yeah, there’s that brand of dominant tennis that Williams plays like few others in the world.

Williams capped a week of powerful performances with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Lucie Safarova to win the Family Circle Cup on Sunday. It was Williams’ 40th WTA title and first on clay in four years since capturing this championship in 2008.

Williams didn’t expect to show so strongly in her first event of the season on clay. She said the steady stream of things she deals with off the tennis court helps keep her focused when she’s on it. “I’m just trying to keep my mind busy,� Williams said. “I’m doing so much it keeps me staying in the moment.�

This week, that’s been playing some of the most dominant matches of her career. Williams followed up a 6-1, 6-1 steamroll over Samantha Stosur, the world’s fifth-ranked player, in the semifinals Saturday with her rout of Safarova.

Williams said she had some mediocre practices this week,

SERENA WILLIAMS CELEBRATES with the championship trophy after defeating Lucie Safarova, of the Czech Republic, during their finals match at the Family Circle Cup on Sunday in Charleston, S.C. yet saved her best when it counted most. “I’ve never played, I can say, consistently at such a high level with low errors� the last two matches, Williams said. “And the scary thing is,� she says, “I could’ve served so much better.�

Really?

By Monte Poole The Oakland Tribune

Though his best football was left behind in Tampa Bay, where he won a Super Bowl and polished his Pro Footall Hall of Fame credentials, Warren Sapp still had plenty to offer when he signed with the Raiders in 2004.

Sapp was the voice of experience, a locker-room counselor who often settled in front of his cubicle to dispense advice to teammates, team employees and even reporters.

He was loud, sometimes obnoxious, but he usually made sense.

So the news that Sapp is the latest former multi-millionaire athlete to file for bankruptcy was a surprising jolt of reality.

Athletes frequently go broke, but it seems we’re in the midst of an epidemic. Recent news accounts have told the sad tales of — take a deep breath — Dennis Rodman, Terrell Owens, Lenny Dykstra, Antoine Walker and Allen Iverson. They all made tens of millions and lost it.

Too many athletes spend as if their money is being grown on a 400-acre orchard. They trust the wrong people, too often turn to “friends� and relatives, actual and otherwise, for advice and investments. They dive onto the money pile, having so much fun they fail to realize their dollars are evaporating.

Magic Johnson, who partied plenty during his NBA career, was careful about spending, insistent on saving and committed to financial growth. He’s the template for athletes who wish to avoid going broke and says he gets calls all the time from active athletes seeking advice.

Why wouldn’t a guy like Scottie Pippen or John Daly or Latrell Sprewell or Walker or Sapp — who I know appreciates intellect and welcomes knowledge — reach out before their pockets are empty?

Failing to seek advice, or ignoring it, is as unfathomably dense or stubborn as ringing up a $20,000 bar tab, staggering to a $150,000 car and getting behind the wheel-rather than spending $500 for a driver.

Such inexplicable negligence happens far too often among athletes. So sad, when it’s so incredibly easy to avoid.

the career list. Venus Williams leads with 43 championships.

Williams said her play was truly a surprise since it was so early in the clay-court season.

Her last two finals appearances on the surface both took place in Charleston — a loss to Justine Henin in 2003 and her win over Vera Zvonareva in 2008.

Williams had just a day or so after the Sony Ericsson Open to practice on the slower clay at the Family Circle Tennis Center. She looked rusty in her opening match, a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elena Vesnina on Tuesday.

But Williams came back in her next match with a much sharper game. She took out Marina Erakovic 6-2, 6-2 and was in control in her quarterfinals win over Sabine Lisicki, who retired in the first set after twisting her left ankle.

However, Williams was at her best on the weekend.

She didn’t give Stosur, the reigning U.S. Open champion, room to breathe in the semifinals.

Williams ended the clay-court run with a commanding victory over the 26th-ranked Safarova.

Williams is not scheduled to play again until next month in Madrid, then at the Italian Open before moving on to Paris for the year’s second Grand Slam, the French Open.

COMMENTARY

Bankrupt athletes far too common

Williams was dominant on her serves this week. She wasn’t broken in her final four matches, going 25-0 in her service games.

The closest Safarova came was in the first set when she couldn’t cash in on break points in the third and fifth games. Williams escaped both, getting out of the final jam with a 116 mph service winner to lead 5-0.

Safarova avoided the doublebagel, the 6-0, 6-0 fate she hung on Polona Hercog to reach the final, by taking the fourth game of the second set at love. Safarova pounded a forehand winner to loud applause, smiling and lifting her head in relief.

Williams wrapped it up with a 107-mph ace, her fifth of the match, and received a long ovation from the crowd. She leads the WTA with 108 aces on the season. “She was amazing,� said Safarova, who fell to 0-5 against Williams. “She deserves to be the champion.�

Safarova became a Family Circle champion, too, later Sunday, teaming with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to win the doubles title over Anabel Medina Garrigues and Yaroslava Shvedova in a third-set tiebreaker.

Williams won her 40th title to move one away from Kim Clijsters among active players on

,35 S *OHNSON RESIGNS ON EVE OF 4#5 INTRODUCTION Trent Johnson resigned Sunday as LSU’s basketball coach, the announcement coming on the eve of his expected introduction as TCU’s coach.

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said Johnson is leaving the Tigers after four seasons to take another head coaching position.

Alleva didn’t say where Johnson was headed, but TCU said Sunday that a “major announcement� involving its men’s basketball program would be made during a news conference on the Fort Worth campus this afternoon.

There were no other specifics given in the TCU release, but a person with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that Johnson would be hired as Jim Christian’s replacement.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement was made. “Sometimes coaching changes work out well for all parties involved, and we will take this opportunity to seek out the best coach for the long-term future of LSU men’s basketball,� Alleva said. “We will move quickly but deliberately to find a coach who will lead our program with integrity and discipline, someJohnson one who will recruit effectively in order to build championship teams while inspiring success in academics, and someone who will energize our fan base. I wish Trent all the best in his new job.�

Johnson’s introduction at TCU will come a week after officials there said Christian was leaving after four seasons.

Christian was hired Tuesday as the coach at Ohio University. He returned to the Mid-American Conference where he won at least 20 games in each of his six seasons at Kent State and took the Golden Flashes to two NCAA tournaments before moving to TCU. The Horned Frogs are moving next season from the Mountain West Conference to the Big 12.

Johnson had a 67-64 record in four seasons at LSU. He previously took Nevada and Stanford to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.

TCU hasn’t been to the NCAA Tournament since 1998 when Billy Tubbs was its coach.

Christian was 56-73 at TCU. But the Horned Frogs were 18-15 last season, their first winning season since 2004-05. They finished the season with a second-round loss at Oregon State in the College Basketball Invitational tournament.

LSU was also 18-15 last season, and lost to Oregon in the first round of the NIT. When Johnson got to LSU in 2008, he had a team filled with seniors. The Tigers went 27-8 and won the SEC regular season championship his first season, but went 22-41 combined with only five SEC wins the next two years.

Johnson went to LSU from Stanford after taking the Cardinal to three NCAA tournaments in four seasons. Stanford, a private school like TCU, was 28-7 and went to the NCAA round of 16 in 2007-08, his final year there.

TENNIS

US grabs Davis Cup semis spot ROQUEBRUNE, FRANCE — John Isner’s big serve and solid forehand proved too strong for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, defeating the Frenchman 6-3, 7-6 (4) 5-7, 6-3 Sunday to put the United States into the Davis Cup semifinals for the first time since 2008.

Tsonga had chances, but could only break his serve once as the Americans took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series, setting up a match against Spain. Defending champion Spain led Austria 3-1 behind a win by David Ferrer.

Leading the Americans in the absence of ninth-ranked Mardy Fish, the 11th-ranked Isner played well.

In other quarterfinals, host Czech Republic topped Serbia 4-1 and Argentina beat Croatia 4-1. The semifinals are in September.

Tsonga struggled to stay with Isner until his late rally. “I gave everything I could in the battle,�

Tsonga said. “I didn’t have much luck today and John took his chances. At 0-3 down in the fourth set, it became ‘Mission Impossible.’�

Isner built on the U.S. team’s momentum after a straight-set doubles win on Saturday. He didn’t face a break point, while the pressure was clearly on the sixth-ranked Tsonga to even the score at the Monte Carlo Country club.

NBA

Lin may be out into playoffs NEW YORK — Knicks guard Jeremy Lin says he feels “pretty good� after knee surgery but doesn’t think he could make it back for the first round of the playoffs, which begin April 28.

Lin had surgery last Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee. The Knicks have said the expected recovery time is about six weeks.

The point guard says he is working out on a bike and hopes to start running late next week.

FOOTBALL

Ex-Notre Dame QB Kiel dies COLUMBUS, IND. — Blair Kiel, the former Notre Dame quarterback and punter who played for Tampa Bay, Indianapolis and Green Bay in the NFL, died Sunday. He was 50.

Bartholmew County Coroner Allen Smith said Kiel died at Columbus Regional Hospital.

Smith said an autopsy has been performed and that he’s waiting on toxicology results and tissue samples to determine the cause of death.

Kiel played for the Irish from 1980-83, completing 297 of 609 passes for 3,650 yards with 17 touchdowns and 32 interceptions.

Drafted by Tampa Bay in the 11th round in 1984, Kiel made three starts and appeared in 25 games in five seasons with the Buccaneers, Colts and Packers.

KU baseball swept by OSU J-W Staff Reports

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Kansas University managed just two runs off six hits in a 4-2 Big 12 Conference baseball loss to Oklahoma State on Sunday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, the Jayhawks’ fourthstraight loss.

Kansas fell to 12-19 overall, 2-7 in the Big 12.

the iron’s hot. Iron’s hot for him.” !

Banquet tonight: Today’s KU basketball banquet figures to be the most festive since the 2008 dinner that honored the NCAA champs.

Ninth-year coach Self believes a throng of 1,000 or so fans, who will break bread at 6:30 p.m. at the Holidome, are eager to recognize the accomplishments of this 32-7 team.

“I’ve gotten a lot of letters and several e-mails. I haven’t gone through all of them yet,” Self said of appreciative correspondence. “The thing that amazes me is from our Jayhawk Nation, the sense that I get, it was the most pleasant of surprises. I got the impression that we had tempered expectations enough and rightfully so that anything that happened like it did this year would be a bonus.”

After all, this is the KU team that played with no McDonald’s All-Americans and just one returning starter — Tyshawn Taylor — from the Morris twins-led 35-3 Big 12 title/ Elite Eight team of 2010-11.

“You know this program has won more games than anybody in the history of college basketball the last six years. There has never been a run like we’ve been on as far as winning games,” said Self, whose team was 197-29 over that span. “You can say Florida was a better run. They won two (titles in going 68-11 overall in 2005-06 and 2006-07), we’ve only won one. Still, we’ve been on a terrific run, but this was going to be the transition year, without question. But you couldn’t tell Thomas or Tyshawn or those kids that.

“And they played at such a high level, and it wasn’t always pretty, but they bought into how we needed to play to win.”

His Jayhawks, nick-

and three walks, but was resilient in his debut for the Royals, who acquired him last November in a trade with San Francisco for Melky Cabrera.

Pujols went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks, driving in his first run for the Angels with a first-inning groundout. Los Angeles’ new $240 million slugger went 3-for-10 with two doubles in his first three games at Angel Stadium.

Vernon Wells homered in the eighth, but L.A. again struggled defensively, foundered at the plate with runners in scoring position (0-

the incredible shot. Who doesn’t?”

His caddie, Ted Scott, reminded him on the way into the right trees of Watson’s own motto: “If I have a swing, I’ve got a shot.”

“So I’m used to the woods. I’m used to the rough,” he said.

Oosthuizen, still mystified that his 15-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole had missed,

was impressed by his opponent.

“Well, he must have a great feel for the game,” he said. “It’s really entertaining to play with him, to see the shots that he’s taking on and shots that I don’t really see or would ever hit.”

The winner never saw this coming.

“I dreamed about it,” he said. “I just never made the putt.”

named the “Comeback Kids” by junior guard Elijah Johnson, gritted their way to several comefrom-behind wins in the NCAAs. KU led at halftime in just one of the six games — against No. 15seed Detroit Mercy. The Jayhawks were ahead of Detroit by 10 after 20 minutes, but trailed Purdue by six and North Carolina State by one, were tied with North Carolina, and trailed Ohio State by nine and Kentucky by 14.

“It was a great team to be around,” Self said.

“I felt like the ’08 team I probably had a better idea of what was going on around it because we were always ranked in the top five, all year long. And you just kind of felt the media attention and all that. Hey, this one, I was in the eye of the storm and didn’t have a clue what was going on around it. It was just a remarkable feeling.”

He has replayed the Kentucky game in his mind a few times. KU trailed by as many as 18 the first half. KU cut it to five late but could get no closer in a 67-59 defeat.

“During the course of the game, we missed three dunks,” Self said.

“We executed perfectly on two plays down the stretch that most times you’re going to come away with five points, and you come away with zero.

We missed some key free throws. That could have easily been a one-possession game. And what I told our guys all along: ‘We’re not going to blow these guys out, let’s get it in the last five minutes and see if the collar gets tight.’

“And we were one possession away from really making it a stressful-type environment, but Kentucky’s great. They’re better than us. But for one night I thought we could be better than them. We just weren’t that first half.

We just dug ourselves too big a hole.”

Still Self can’t help but wonder, what if?

“We had a loose-ball play, we were down five, and we didn’t get the loose

ball,” he said. “If we get it, it’s three (point game) because it was going to be a break-away layup. And we end up having to foul and they make free throws.”

He’s proud enough of the effort to be willing to watch the tape of the title game in coming weeks.

“I won’t look at it to learn anything from it.

You don’t look at a tape and say, ‘We could learn from it if we just make our dunks.’ Geez, we just missed them, and they’re plays we’ve been making all year long. Kentucky’s just terrific. It’s hard to simulate that type of length. We think Jeff Withey’s long. He’s not long compared to Anthony Davis, and although Jeff is long, but compared to that, that’s just a whole different deal. He can guard a point guard, switches on ball screens.

It was just a hard team to score on.

“And then you think about it, ‘Well, why don’t you just shoot threes?’

Well, that’s not who we are. Well, ‘Why don’t you have a stretch four man?’

That’s not who we are.

You’ve got to play within who you are. We actually did that. We ran some good offense in the first half and just came away empty.

“Thomas rushed a couple of shots, but at the end of the day, I walked out of there sad for our guys that we lost because they were hurting so bad. They never ever dreamed that anybody could beat them.

Very, very proud of them at the same time.”

for-13) and didn’t get what’s expected from its vaunted starting rotation after Santana yielded seven hits and six runs while failing to get out of the sixth inning.

“There’s a lot of things that went south in the last two games,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

“They have a good offensive club, but if you make your pitches, you’re going to pitch well against them, as Jered (Weaver) showed in Game 1.

After Weaver blanked the Royals for eight innings on opening day, the Angels’ next two pitchers didn’t live up to their billing. Kansas City battered Dan Haren on Saturday, and Santana allowed a runner to reach scoring position in all but one of his 52⁄3 innings.

!

Woodberry to Tulsa: Former KU guard Steve Woodberry will be named an assistant coach on Danny Manning’s Tulsa coaching staff, the Tulsa World reported. Woodberry has worked the past six years as assistant coach at Missouri State. He attended Tulsa’s spring football game Saturday. Former KU player Brett Ballard and former KU manager Justin Bauman have already been named to the Hurricane staff.

Tigers win wild one, 13-12 The Associated Press

Tigers 13, Red Sox 12 DETROIT — Alex Avila’s two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning gave Detroit a wild victory over Boston on Sunday, leaving the Red Sox winless in three games under new manager Bobby Valentine.

Detroit trailed 10-7 when Miguel Cabrera tied the game with a three-run shot off Alfredo Aceves in the ninth.

Boston then scored twice in the 11th, but Mark Melancon (0-2) couldn’t hold the lead.

Rangers 5, White Sox 0 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Matt Harrison pitched six scoreless innings, and Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and David Murphy homered to power Texas Rays 3, Yankees 0 over Chicago.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. Hamilton’s first homer — Jeremy Hellickson of the season was a 441came within one out of a foot blast that landed in

the second deck of seats high above the Rangers’ bullpen in right-center field.

That was leading off the sixth against Gavin Floyd (0-1), putting Texas up 4-0 right after Harrison threw his last pitch.

NBA Knicks 100, Bulls 99 NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony scored a seasonhigh 43 points, making the go-ahead three-pointer with 8.2 seconds left in overtime, and the Knicks spoiled a rusty Derrick Rose’s return to the lineup to beat the Bulls on Sunday.

Rose scored 29 points after missing the previous 12 games due to a strained right groin, but he shot only 8-of-26 from the field and missed a pair of free throws with 19 seconds left in regulation and the Bulls ahead by three.

Anthony made a three eight seconds later to tie it, and scored the final five points of the extra period as the Knicks pulled out a thriller in a possible playoff preview.

The Bulls trailed by 21 in the first quarter, led by 10 in the fourth, then failed to put it away by missing four straight free throws in the final 34 seconds of regulation.

Despite having their starting five together for only the 11th time this season, the Bulls lost for the third time in four games, their NBA-best record falling to 43-14.

The Knicks increased their lead over Milwaukee to one game for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

They travel to Chicago on Tuesday, visit Milwaukee on Wednesday, and close a difficult week by hosting Miami next Sunday.

NEW YORK KNICKS’ CARMELO ANTHONY (7) AND STEVE NOVAK CELEBRATE after Anthony hit a threepoint shot in the closing seconds of overtime against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Knicks won, 100-99. on 6-for-8 shooting from three-point range for Miami, which played without Dwyane Wade for the 11th time this season. Wade sat out because of right ankle soreness, which the team said was caused by an awkward landing on a dunk attempt against Memphis on Friday night.

The Heat are 10-1 when Wade is sidelined this season and 18-1 in their last 19 home games.

Truth likely the best option after infidelity Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

together and are now tormented with guilt.

We promised it would never happen again and that we’d take it to our graves.

The problem now is that I can’t look at my fiancee without thinking what a terrible person I am. How could I do this to her? I don’t think I can marry her after what I’ve done, but I don’t know how to break it off, either. What are my options? — Worst Fiance Ever in Toronto Dear Fiance: One option is to tell the truth,

Welcome to the ‘Hotel Impossible’ There’s nothing particularly original about “Hotel Impossible” (9 p.m., Travel), but that doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable.

Smart, even.

Just as Gordon Ramsay shakes up restaurants, “Impossible” host Anthony Melchiorri goes to dysfunctional inns and lodgings to save them from bad habits, indifferent management and unmotivated staffs. The throbbing, tension-manufacturing music is all but stolen from “The Apprentice” — and that show’s score was hardly original.

Melchiorri also speaks or, rather, lectures viewers, hotel owners and workers in a blunt “I’ve seen it all” style not unlike Donald Trump’s.

Although Melchiorri projects a certain head-shaven intensity, he never erupts into angry obscenity like Ramsay or struts with Trump’s ridiculously pompous self-regard. He is, in short, a patient teacher and a good manager, someone who recognizes and nurtures talent and potential.

You’ll walk away from the show wishing you had a boss like him.

First up on “Hotel Impossible,” is Gurney’s Inn, located in Montauk, N.Y. A famous, yet faded hotel whose decor and management style appear to be stuck in the 1970s.

You don’t have to be ItalianAmerican to chafe at the mindless stereotyping of the ethnicity that’s seemingly everywhere on cable television. “Mama’s Boys of the Bronx” (9 p.m., TLC) is the latest insult. It follows five larger-than-life guys who conduct a rather brazen bachelor lifestyle and then return home to live with their mothers, who dote on them with bowls of ravioli when not doing their laundry.

The soundtrack consists of antediluvian pizza parlor music.

If these guys only settled down with the vulgar harpies on Oxygen’s “Brooklyn 11223,” both shows might disappear.

Tonight’s other highlights

Live performances on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

Death by couponing on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

Hockey violence erupts on “House” (8 p.m., Fox).

“Healthcare Hustle” (8 p.m., CNBC) documents extreme examples of Medicare fraud.

“Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel) returns with a trip to Mozambique.

Max’s troubled past resurfaces on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

Uma Thurman guest-stars on “Smash” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS

Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner is 86. Naturalist Jim Fowler is 80. Actor Jean-Paul Belmondo is 79. Actress Michael Learned is 73. Actor Dennis Quaid is 58. Actress-model Paulina Porizkova is 47. Actress Cynthia Nixon is 46. Actress Keshia Knight Pulliam is 33. Actress Kristen Stewart is 22. Actress Elle Fanning is 14. Classical crossover singer Jackie Evancho (TV: “America’s Got Talent”) is 12.

possibly wrecking your engagement and Angie’s marriage. Another option is to say nothing, although both you and Angie would have to be able to live with the guilt, and it would take time before your relationship with her could normalize. (And there’s no guarantee the truth wouldn’t come out later.) You also could simply walk away from the engagement, devastating your fiancee. Or you could tell a version of the truth: that while she was out of town, you got drunk and slept with another woman. You don’t have to name the woman or give the impression that you knew her. Beg your girlfriend for forgiveness, and ask her to go with you for premarital counseling. If she dumps you, so be it, but at least you both will know why.

I was an alcoholic for 30 years and now am sober. Along with recommending AA and AlAnon, suggest they take pictures of the alcoholic.

My boyfriend took a picture of me at my worst, and it was shocking. I always cleaned up the next day and didn’t remember anything I did.

I insisted that what people said couldn’t be true.

That picture helped me get sober.

Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my wonderful girlfriend of four years. The wedding is scheduled to take place in September, and I just made the worst mistake of my life.

My fiancee’s grandfather recently was diagnosed with cancer. My fiancee and her brother left town for two weeks to spend time with him.

I stayed home, and so did “Angie,” my future brother-in-law’s wife.

Angie has three difficult children, including a daughter with special needs. It is very stressful for her.

The day before my fiancee returned, Angie completely collapsed. I helped her get her kids in bed, and we talked for hours about the pressure she’s under. We had a couple of glasses of wine to relax. Honestly, Annie, I never imagined things would go the way they did, but we slept

MASTERS

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

With 2 on 2, Oosthuizen makes history AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Even if he doesn’t have a place in the champion’s locker room at the Masters, Louis Oosthuizen can say he has a spot in the Albatross Club with Gene Sarazen.

Not a bad consolation prize: That shot by “The Squire” in 1935, after all, is widely credited with putting the Masters on the map.

Back then players weren’t routinely hitting the ball so far, but Sarazen had the pluck to pull out a 4-wood from 235 yards and blast the ball over the creek that guards the 15th green at Augusta National. He made doubleeagle, otherwise known as an albatross. It erased a three-shot deficit to Craig Wood in one swing. The two went to a playoff that Sarazen won.

On Sunday, Oosthuizen also got to the playoff on the strength of his doubleeagle but he didn’t make any more history.

Bubba Watson pulled off The Shot of the tournament — that twister from nowhere on the 10th hole in the playoff — and Oosthuizen walked home not with the green jacket, but with a good-looking ‘2’ on the scorecard. It was only the fourth double-eagle in the history of the Masters and the first ever on the par-5 second at Augusta National.

Yes, this is a rarity, and not only at Augusta.

There have been only 17 double-eagles compared to 130 holes-in-1 on the PGA Tour since 2008, according to STATS LLC. It’s even more infrequent at your average muni, where the everyday player is nowhere near as skilled as the guys shooting at pins for a living.

On this crazy Sunday at Augusta National, Oosthuizen’s 2 was much more notable than a pair of 1s — the holes-in-1 by Adam Scott and Bo Van Pelt that wound up as mere footnotes.

“My first double-eagle ever,” Oosthuizen said.

The shot came from 253 yards out and Oousthuizen flushed a 4-iron that dropped on the front of the green, then traveled around 80 feet back and toward the right and straight into the hole.

Oosthuizen raised his hands, high-fived his caddie.

Watson, who was playing in the same group, told Oosthuizen he wanted to high-five him too, “but felt it might not have gone over too well,” Oosthuizen said.

Oosthuizen’s albatross now ranks No. 2 on the list of four that have come at Augusta National — ahead of Bruce Delvin’s in 1967 on No. 8 and Jeff Maggert’s in 1994 on No. 13, but still one notch behind Sarazen’s. Had The Squire not made that Matt Slocum/AP Photo shot, the historians say there’s no telling where LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN, RIGHT, AND CADDIE WYNAND STANDER REACT after Oosthuizen’s the Masters would be to- double-eagle 2 on the par-5 second hole during the Masters on Sunday in Augusta, Ga. day.

NOTEBOOK

Hanson’s shank part of ‘tough day’ at Augusta AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Peter Hanson endeared himself to weekend duffers everywhere with his shank off the 12th tee.

Didn’t do much for his chances at the Masters, however.

The third-round leader opened with two bogeys in his first three holes Sunday, and could never get anything going. He wound up in a four-way tie for third with Lee Westwood, Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson. The group finished at 280, two strokes behind Bubba Watson and Louis Oosthuizen.

“It was,” Hanson said, “a pretty tough day.”

Hey, at least he and the rest of the gang had a front-row seat for the fun down the stretch.

“I’ve been in there a couple times nearly the last four years and it’s a great experience,” Westwood said. “When the weather is like this, there is nowhere quite like it, I don’t think.”

Truck-Pickups

Hanson lost his overnight lead in a hurry with those two bogeys. Then came that massive shank on 12; it was hit so poorly it didn’t come anywhere close to the creek, instead landing in that grassy area usually reserved for provisional shots. On 16, he hit his tee shot to 4 feet only to miss the birdie putt.

He did make birdies on two of his last four holes, but he’d been left behind long before that.

“It was a good test of emotion, how I can handle myself,” Hanson said. “It was still a new situation for me playing the last group and playing with Phil. I felt like it worked out pretty good, but like I said, I think your weaknesses show a little bit when you come under pressure.”

Any chances Westwood had at removing that “best player never to win a major” probably ended Friday with his double bogey on 18. Oh, he made a run at it, making four birdies in

Vans-Buses

his last six holes, including three straight on Nos. 13, 14 and 15.

But it’s hard to dig out of a hole at Augusta National.

“You have got to putt well to win the Masters and I haven’t putted well,” Westwood said.

Kuchar actually made a brief appearance atop the leaderboard.

With 252 yards to go on his approach shot on 15, he shouted, “Come on baby, be good!” as the ball sailed toward the green. Good it was, coming within 4 feet.

He tapped in for the eagle, tying him with Oosthuizen and Watson.

“It was awfully exciting,” Kuchar said. “It’s such an exciting tournament to be right there with a chance to win.”

But his chances ended quickly as he gave a stroke back on the next hole. His tee shot was short and to the right, and he couldn’t get up and down for par.

Still, a tie for third was

his best finish since he tied for 21st as an amateur in 1998.

“Those amateur days were a real treat. That was a special time,” Kuchar said. “When I come back here, I still feel like that same 19-year-old kid, and now to be back and to have a chance to win the title was really exciting.”

Turning it over Charl Schwartzel loved everything about his run as Masters champion.

Except the way it ended.

The South African made bogey on two of his last four holes, and finished at 8 over for the tournament.

He never broke par this week, an opening-round 72 his best score.

“I felt very good out there. I just didn’t play very well and my putting let me down,” Schwartzel said.

Being defending champion brings added obligations and attention in what is already a very big week, and it’s been a bit

Lawrence

overwhelming for some.

But that wasn’t the problem, Schwartzel insisted.

“It was nothing different from any other week,” he said. “I felt in control. I felt more than capable of defending.”

Instead, he was signing his scorecard just as the leaders were getting ready to tee off. Schwartzel watched the rest of tournament on television before turning over the green jacket to Bubba Watson.

“The respect you gain from everyone. This tournament is different from others,” Schwartzel said.

“It was an honor being Masters champion.”

Pair of aces The drinks are on Adam Scott and Bo Van Pelt.

Scott and Van Pelt each made a hole in one on the 16th hole Sunday at the Masters. They were the only aces of the week at Augusta National.

Van Pelt also made an eagle on 13, the second year in

a row he had a pair of eagles on the back nine Sunday.

He posted a 30 for the final nine, and finished with an 8-under 64. It was the first time he broke par this week.

“We’d all like to pick and choose when we have a good round, but we don’t get to do that,” said Van Pelt, who was 1 under for the tournament. “For me I knew I was close, closer than what my scores had shown the first three days, so it’s nice to put a good one together going into next week. Obviously everybody wants to have their best week this week.”

Or this week last year.

Both Scott and Van Pelt were in that wacky mix for the green jacket last year, with Scott finishing tied for second and Van Pelt tied for eighth, and those aces sure would have come in handy.

“I hit a shot that was feeding down last year and just missed,” Scott said. “I would have liked to switch them.”

Save sentimental T-shirt as a pillow

W

e all have loads of T-shirts, don’t we?

A lot of them commemorate certain events, so we don’t always want to let them go. I have a few I keep though rarely wear — one from my high school swim team, another from my time at the University Daily Kansan.

I also have some hand-me-downs: a University of Chicago shirt, where my dad got his MBA, which I wear to bed; and a University of Arizona shirt from my mom, proclaiming her alma mater.

You’ve probably seen the T-shirt quilt idea before, in which you cut out the designs from the front of the T-shirts you want to save and stitch them together. It’s a neat idea, if you have a lot of shirts.

But if you only have one or two shirts you want to save, like me, and/or you’re pretty certain even a T-shirt quilt would take you a decade, like me, here’s a smaller-scale project for you: make a pillow.

Mom’s U of A shirt doesn’t fit me, but I didn’t want to get rid of it. Because the design is circular, I decided to make a round pillow.

This involves a bit of geometry you wouldn’t have to worry about if you made a square pillow, but it truly wasn’t that hard or time-consuming.

You can make your front piece the same size or up to an inch bigger.

2. Figure out the center of your design and place the end of the measuring tape there. From the center, measure half the diameter, i.e. the radius (in my case, 7 inches), to points at the top, bottom, left and right of the design. Then, using the tape as a compass, hold the chalk at the

KATIE BEAN same measurement and move it in a circle, connecting the marks.

3. Cut out the circle, and make sure not to catch the back of the shirt when cutting.

4. Smooth the shirt out and use the circle cut-out from the front of the shirt as a template: Trace the edge of the top half of circle onto the back of the shirt, and extend the line an inch on the bottom, then draw a line across to connect the semicircle. This leaves extra fabric to cover the whole back of the pillow form.

5. Cut the front of the shirt away. Fold the back of the shirt on the line across

6. Fold the straight edge of one semicircle down half an inch, wrong sides together, and pin. Repeat on the second semicircle. Then sew a straight line across this hem on each semicircle.

7. Lay the front circle right side up.

Place the top semicircle aligned with the top of the front piece, right sides together, and pin around the edges. Align the bottom semicircle with the bottom edge of the front piece and pin edges. The top and bottom semicircles should overlap.

8. Starting at the overlap on one side, sew around the edge of the circle with a 1/4-inch seam allowance. With a small seam allowance and the stretchiness of the jersey, it’s not necessary to clip the curve.

9. Flip the pillowcase right side out through the opening in the back and insert the pillow form. Jersey stretches quite a bit, so it should be easy to get your pillow form into the case.

Arrangements now second nature to florist

BY CHANSI LONG

O

n a recent Friday afternoon, a woman walked into Englewood Florist, 1101 Mass., with a big order: she needed seven centerpieces, plus a really large one, by 10 a.m. the next day.

As soon she shuffled from the store, Cary Engle, owner of Englewood, launched into action: He collected his containers, got out tapered candles and began to arrange the flowers.

Someone lacking Engle’s experience might have become overwhelmed. But Engle has been in the floral business for more than 30 years. He knows flowers — and how to make them look good.

“It just takes time and experience to be able to do those kinds of things and to be able to do them like that,” said Engle, snapping his fingers.

“I’ve been in the business so long I can put something together for you in less than 15 minutes and it would look good.”

Priding himself on his arrangements, Engle first started working as a florist while earning an art degree at Truman University in Kirksville, Mo., 30 years ago.

The elements integral to good art — color, design and balance — are essential to good bouquets, too. But there’s more to arranging flowers than making them look good: They have to be affordable.

For the customer stumbling in off the street, the urge is often to jam a bunch of flowers, expensive ones, priced by the stem, into a vase, thinking big means better.

“Normally when my costumers come in and they pick their own flowers, they spend almost three times as much money as they would if they would allow us to do it,” Engle says.

“They can’t have all $15 stem flowers if they want to spend $35, and have it look full and pretty.”

But Engle can take $35 and make it count. He’s used to assembling flowers for tight budgets. In the last few years, he’s seen a slump in big purchases.

Customers are coming in as often, but they have less money. So he tells them to be honest, to let him know how much they can spend.

Sometimes costumers won’t divulge, at least at first.

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

CARY ENGLE, OF ENGLEWOOD FLORIST at 1101 Mass., cleans up some roses at the store. Engle has been a florist for 30 years.

For example, a woman might come in, mother in tow, to buy flowers for her wedding. She’ll say money is no object, and point to the sort of arrangement she wants at her reception. Then Engle will quote her a price. And as she’s falling from her chair, money will suddenly become an object.

Engle tells costumers to be honest about their budgets.

And to trust his judgment.

There are always flowers on display in his store, but Engle is just as apt to whip up something new if customers don’t like what’s on hand.

The flowers are from all over: South America, Holland, California, Oregon. There are no prepackaged arrangements, the sort you see at the grocery store. The cello-

phane can accelerate decay, Engle says, who strives to keep flowers looking beautiful.

“I push people away from things that aren’t going to hold up,” he says. “Open roses are pretty, but they won’t last a week.”

And Engle instructs customers on care, telling them to make sure the water is clean, to add preservative and cut the stems on a daily basis.

“It’s a perishable item,” Engle says. “If you went to the grocery and you bought a pound of hamburger, then left it on the counter for three days, would you expect to eat it? If you buy fresh flowers, you have to take care of them if you want them to last.”

And making flowers last is what Engle does best.

Easter leftovers Try these ideas for your many hard-boiled eggs

Delicious/

NUTRITIOUS

SARAH HENNING & MEGAN STUKE

H

ave a dozen or more hard-boiled eggs in the fridge now that Easter is over? Megan and Sarah have some suggestions to use them up.

John Young/Journal-World Photos

DELICIOUS: Megan made roasted asparagus with hard-boiled egg vinaigrette. Both Megan and Sarah used asparagus, which is in season in spring.

Delicious I am a nut for holidays. As a kid, I would start bugging my mom to get out the Halloween decorations shortly after school started. I was the queen of the advent calendar, and the greenest kid in the room on St. Patrick’s Day. So it comes as no surprise to anyone that I sort of love dying Easter eggs. I generally don’t go crazy or do anything fancy. I like the old school writing of names on the eggs with crayons and the vinegar with dye tablets. I like the smell of the vinegar dye, and the cups full of bright colors, and the mess of it all.

Needless to say, we dye eggs every year, and a lot of them. I’ve already done one round, and we’ll do another bunch the day before Easter. That’s a lot of hard-boiled eggs.

Still, it’s not really a problem for us because we are an egg-eating family. My husband likes to have some hardboiled eggs stashed in the refrigerator at all times for a quick on-the-road breakfast in the mornings. I like them around for snacks (two points on Weight Watchers, and filling!), for salads and for all manner of quick applications.

So I don’t mind that my egg dying fetish results in dozens of colorful eggs lounging in my refrigerator. I relish it. Egg salad! Pickled eggs! You name it, I love it. And I especially love this idea of making a dressing out of hardboiled eggs. The yolks make a great emulsion and it tastes just right over spring vegetables.

Needless to say, we dye eggs every year, and a lot of them. I’ve already done one round, and we’ll do another bunch the day before Easter. That’s a lot of hard-boiled eggs.

This is a super easy side dish, or, if you are like me, you’ll make it a meal. It’s got the requisite veggies and protein — so why not? You can serve it on a baguette, or you could roll out some puff pastry and cook the asparagus atop it like a tart, but I usually like the simplicity of just the eggs and asparagus.

It’s quick, it’s no-fuss, and it’s delicious. It even looks a little fancy.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH HARD-BOILED EGG VINAIGRETTE 1 bundle asparagus 1 tablespoon olive oil A pinch of kosher salt Cracked black pepper

Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and give it a toss with the salt and pepper. Cook in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.

For the vinaigrette: 2 hard-boiled eggs 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon basil 1 tablespoon sugar or honey 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper Peel one of the eggs and give it a rough chop. Set aside.

Cut the second egg in half, mashing the egg yolk with a fork and adding it to the dressing ingredients. Set the other white aside for snacking later.

Give the dressing and yolk a good whisk to incorporate, and then drizzle it over the asparagus. Top with the other chopped egg.

This is so simple and delicious, and it just looks like spring. It’s so not fussy, but it sure does bring a lot of flavor, and darn it, in spite of myself, nutrition, to the table.

Enjoy your hard-boiled eggs this spring — they’re so versatile and fun. Be sure to get farm fresh ones whenever you can. The difference is astounding.

OPEN FOR THE

NUTRITIOUS: Sarah made an early spring chopped salad with potatoes, romaine, asparagus, hard-boiled eggs, olives and avocado.

NUTRITIOUS If honesty is the best policy, I’ll tell you right off the bat that I do not eat eggs. They’re just not for me.

However, my husband and son do, and their favorite way to eat them happens to be the way they’re probably in your fridge right now: hard-boiled, straight from dying and Easter egg hunting.

Now, it’s possible your family’s cache of hard-boiled pastel eggs went straight into an egg salad or deviled egg tray. You might not have an egg in the fridge at all.

But if you do (or you don’t and you didn’t over-egg it Sunday), may I suggest making them the basis for a chopped salad?

Egg whites, as you probably know from those “Incredible, edible egg” PSAs, are high in protein, low in fat and really good for you. They also happen to be great in salad.

So I’ve decided to pair my Easter eggs with other spring favorites: fingerling potatoes and asparagus (the fact that Megan and I both paired asparagus with eggs is a total accident, but we must be on to something, right?).

Add some olives, crisp romaine and your favorite dressing and you’ve got yourself a salad with loads of veggies, protein and taste.

EARLY SPRING CHOPPED SALAD 1 to 1-1/2 pounds mixed fingerling potatoes, chopped into 3/4-inch pieces (do not peel) 2 small heads romaine or one large head, chopped 3/4 pound asparagus, bottoms trimmed (weight before trimming) 6 hard-boiled eggs, sliced, yolks removed 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives (or more), whole or chopped in half 1 avocado, pitted and sliced Your favorite dressing, to taste (I used the Simply Dijon-licious Vinaigrette from last month) Steam chopped potatoes in a steamer basket for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through. Be careful not to overcook. Let them drain in a colander and return the pot and steamer basket to the stove.

Steam asparagus until cooked but not limp, about 4 to 5 minutes for thin spears.

As you let them cool, assemble your salad.

Put romaine, potatoes, sliced eggs and olives in a large bowl and toss gently. Top with cooled asparagus and avocado slices.

Dress each salad individually.

Makes 4 to 8 side salads or 2 to 4 dinner-sized salads.

Egg whites, as you probably know from those “Incredible, edible egg” PSAs, are high in protein, low in fat and really good for you. They also happen to be great in salad.

Time for a new teen voice for column

Double TAKE

Dr. Wes: This week we begin the seventh annual Double Take essay contest to find the ninth co-author of the column.

The winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship for freshman year of college from drwes.com and $100 from Central National Bank, and an even more valuable line item on college apps and resume.

The co-author may also enter columns into any future Dear Dr. Wes books we publish. The deadline is 8 p.m. April 27, with interviews tentatively set for the weekend of May 5-6.

Here are this year’s qualifications:

A 2013 senior at an area high school, or an exceptional junior with excellent references. We’ve had four students from Free State, three from LHS and one from Bishop Seabury.

One-year commitment from August 2011 through August 2012.

Skilled writer for class projects or school paper.

Maturity and sensibility. Kids currently caught up in serious drinking, drugs, abusive relationships, etc., won’t be credible and will be subject to public critique — of which there is plenty.

Willing to share open-minded opinions about the problems of adolescence.

Extreme views, liberal or conservative, do not fit with this format or demographic.

Ability to work as a team over email and churn out one 350-word column every Thursday, 50 weeks a year.

Have agreeable parents. This is a high-profile and occasionally controversial job. Parents should read our books if they have any qualms.

Review the application process carefully:

Write a 350-word essay responding to the challenge question, offering your best advice. Good answers may not be the obvious ones. All essays will be judged by a panel of authors from the Kansas City Writers Group, Dr. Wes and Miranda.

List 10 topics you would like to tackle

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS as a Double Take author. If you win, you’ll be assigned many of the topics you suggest.

Ask a teacher or other adult (not parents) to write a brief email outlining your strengths and weaknesses in taking on the column.

Send all materials to ask@dr-wes.com.

We’ll announce winners in mid-May, and publish the top essay in the JournalWorld and the others online.

If the winner cannot complete his or her term, the runner-up will do so and receive the scholarship.

Submission of essays implies release for the Journal-World to publish. Do your own work. All entries will be searched on the Internet to be sure they are original.

Miranda: Writing for Double Take is not easy. It requires a lot of different skills, “thinking outside of the box” and pushing yourself to new limits.

It’s like a job. I have deadlines and expectations. At the same time, it’s a truly unique experience.

In high school, we learn a lot of theoretical knowledge, crucial for the next step in our education.

Double Take isn’t the least bit theoretical. It’s real world, and it’s honest. It isn’t like writing for an English class. Essay after essay can be monotonous, but each weekly column is different.

As with any other commitment, you will have to make sacrifices. There have been times since August when all I wanted to do is sleep, but I have to write this week’s column. Other times I’ve had to skip a football game or school bonfire to make my deadline.

But it’s more than just a time commitment. Some weeks Double Take has wrung me out to dry emotionally. I don’t get to skip an article because I don’t like the topic or because I read someone’s letter and have no clue whatsoever on how to answer. I just have to do it.

But please don’t let any of that scare you away. This job is one of the most gratifying experiences of my high school career, and I love doing it week after week. I feel that if I give one person advice that helps them or makes their life better, then I know I’m doing this right.

Have you ever heard someone say, “If it’s easy, then it isn’t worth it?” Well, Double Take is worth it. Wes has created an opportunity to sound off, give opinions and offer advice on the issues that teens are dealing with right now. Even more than that, it’s a forum that adults read and hear what we have to say.

Challenge question: I had a bad experience recently while I was drinking.

I don’t remember everything that happened, but I do know somebody I don’t like and don’t have a relationship with had sex with me. I only told two friends. One says that it was date rape, and the other says it I shouldn’t accuse him of that because I was so wasted that I might have done it voluntarily, and besides nobody will believe me that it wasn’t consensual.

What should I do?

Farm To Child Care program in full swing

BY EMILY HAMPTON

O

n an unusually balmy evening in late March, 25 in-home child care providers joined together at Douglas County Child Development Association to begin the second year of the Families, Farmers and Educators United program.

DCCDA started the program in Lawrence last year using a grant from the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund.

The program’s goals are to make gardens accessible in child care settings and to educate children about food.

The early educators received the Root for Food curriculum book and learned to implement the lessons, which aim to teach children about where food comes from, how to grow fruits and vegetables, and how healthy choices help to make a stronger community.

The 13 providers who participated in 2011 mingled with the 12 new participants and discussed garden and curriculum stories, successes and ideas.

Jennifer Brewster, a continuing 2011 participant, said she was “surprised at how the children were more willing to try a new vegetable when they grew it themselves.” Attendees were excited to be a part of such an enthusiastic group of early educators.

Participation of child care centers increased to nine in 2012, up from three in 2011.

Classroom teachers at each center received training on how to implement the Root for Food curriculum and help in the development and upkeep of on-site children’s gardens.

Each center has also been matched to a local farmer and serves as a community-

supported agriculture (CSA) drop-off site for subscribing families and center kitchens. Five new farms are participating in 2012 to add to the continuing four farms from last year.

FFEU has achieved progress not only in participation, but also through increasing markets for local food, building community relationships and positively affecting the health of children at an early age.

“Early prevention is considered to be the most promising strategy for reducing obesity and the many serious health conditions that may result as a consequence of excessive weight gain in childhood,” says author Nicole Larson, PhD, MPH, RD, Research Associate in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota.

With more than 80 percent of children’s daily nutrition being received in child care settings, DCCDA uses a multi-faceted approach to instill healthy habits at both inhome child care and child care centers.

REFRESH A ROOM Editor’s note: In December, Go! asked for participants who wanted a room in their home made over. Wanda Breeden was looking to update her breakfast nook. Trish Van Vliet of Stylish Staging provided her services for the redecorating.

BY TRISH VAN VLIET

Trish Van Vliet Photos/Special to the Journal-World

AFTER: Wanda Breeden’s kitchen nook got a new paint color, table, chairs and accent pieces.

he two-story brick home in Centennial neighborhood, near Lawrence High School, was built in 1863 and is on the Kansas registry of historic homes.

Wanda Breeden loved the face-lift she and her husband gave their circa-1985 kitchen, but the 6-foot-by-10-foot eating nook that is attached was uninviting and unused.

Wanda wrote to us that she wanted the space to be cozy and comfy without being “too cutesy.”

It held a drop-leaf oak table, a family piece she loves, but it was too tight of a squeeze with four chairs, and she couldn’t make it look right with the leaves down. The bench needed repainting, as the decorative painting color didn’t match, and she didn’t know which way to go with the space.

“I would so love to have professional advice on my little space!” Wanda told us.

I talked with Wanda about the flow from the kitchen into the eating nook, the use of colors in both of the spaces, the pieces of furniture and the curtains.

I suggested removing all pink accents as well as most of the furnishings in the space; small spaces are more inviting when they feel roomier. The furniture in the space was pared down to just the table and two chairs.

The hand-painted white and pink bench, the white cabinet and the pink and white curtains were removed.

I also recommended changing the wall

color for added contrast and to bring attention to the lovely windows. Sherwin William’s “Hopsack” was selected and provided a darker background, making the painted woodwork “pop.”

Next, I chose a new accent color — black — which was drawn from the kitchen cabinet hardware and countertop. When you have connecting spaces, limit your accent colors to two or three and repeat those colors in the adjoining space. It will add harmony and flow to your rooms.

Wanda purchased two vintage chairs at Locust Street Marketplace and recovered the seats with a beautiful stripe that incorporates the wall, trim and accent colors. The round oak table was a gift from a cousin, so it has sentimental value to the couple. In the near future, Wanda plans to refinish the piece to give it a fresh new look.

A few other accent pieces were purchased to create a vignette for the table top: a glass vase with greenery, silks and twisted branches, purchased from Consign & Design, 925 Iowa; and a decorative black and cream piece, purchased from BeBe’s Cottage, 835 Locust St. The clock used in the vignette had been purchased a few years back, and the artwork selected for the space is a beautiful watercolor of Plaza fountains painted by Wanda’s husband, Randy, 35 years ago.

Wanda was thrilled with the new paint color, which created a darker background and highlighted the windows in the breakfast nook and the cabinets in the kitchen. My suggestion of black as an accent color brought a new look and feel to the space and helped create the harmony and flow from the kitchen into the eating nook.

Wanda loved how the space was transformed by paint and a few accessories and the addition of a couple of chairs, spending

EXERCISE + EATING WELL = GOOD HEALTH

L

ast week a dear friend of mine sent me an email containing words that were a pure delight for me to read.

She wrote that she had come to a serious realization. You may call it an epiphany, a revelation or an aha moment, but the meaning is still the same.

After having been quite successful in adapting and improving her eating habits, her delight had turned to one of frustration and dread. She wrote that it was finally clear that in spite of her best efforts to lead a more healthy and fit lifestyle, it had now come to This.

She had reached the point that most of us, particularly exercise addicts, dread.

She had plateaued.

Those of us familiar with this effect know how very frustrating and challenging a plateau can be. In spite of our best efforts, we are stuck at a weight that simply will not budge, no matter what we do.

Some of us resort to a more challenging work out routine. Pick up the speed, increase the endurance and really hit it hard; that’s the way to improve!

As I See

FIT JENNIFER OSBORN

Others, like my very dear friend, have now come face to face with the fact that even though the pounds may have been falling off initially, they won’t be doing that consistently unless exercise is added to the mix.

Yes, that’s the truth. And I am so happy that she has realized this because things are about to become even more exciting in her world.

And that’s hard to do, because her life, especially with this weight loss, is already pretty exciting.

Introducing a workout plan and more physical activity to an improved and healthy diet is paramount to a fit and active body, which translates to a more fit and healthy you. We all want that!

I have written quite a bit about setting a goal, making a plan and finding ways to make exercise a priority in your life.

I’ve given you workout moves to try and written about the importance of making physical activity an expected and routine part of your daily schedule.

Are you doing that? Because if you are, then I’m willing to bet that you are seeing the results of your efforts, however small they may be.

I’ve heard from one reader that she has picked up an old love, cardio tennis, and how much she looks forward to going.

The fact that she has increased energy, is inspired to make healthier eating choices and can now wear clothes that have been too tight is quite the bonus!

I am so happy for her because she is on her way to achieving the goals that she has set for herself. And she seems pretty determined to continue. Cheers to her!

Another reader recently made big changes in her diet, joined a gym and is taking full advantage of scheduled workouts.

She will admit that it is not always easy, but nothing that we ever really want is.

She looks better, feels better and her positive outlook is inspiring.

My point in all of this is that we must eat well and exercise often to attain our fitness goals. We must strive do better.

Healthy eating and working out are intertwined. One won’t work without the other. So let’s all pick up our game, and let’s make it all count!

says. Consider wooden containers, concrete containers or green containers in a fresh mix of shapes and sizes. “If there’s some sort of continuity in the collection, that often helps it look like you planned it, even though a lot of times it’s not really affordable to buy eight pots for your patio all at once because pots can be pretty expensive,” Richardson says.

Stick to odd numbers. “Interior designers always say that groups of three look good together and I’ve found that too,” Richardson says. “Three pots that are all the same size can look not-dynamic, but if you have a tall one and a short one and a medium-sized one, a lot of the time that looks like a nice collection. If you have three that are all the same height, lining them up in a straight line can look really modern and chic, but I think the trick is grouping them together in odd numbers.”

HOW TO SPRAY PAINT AND STENCIL A POT Adapted from “Small-Space Container Gardens” What you need: plastic pot, spray paint, stencil, stencil glue or adhesive, smooth paint roller, outdoor paint

Apply spray paint to the pot in short, even strokes.

Allow to dry completely.

Lightly mark the placement of the stencil on the pot with a pencil.

Apply the stencil glue according to the package instructions. Use the paint roller to apply a coat of outdoor paint to the stencil. Skip a spot (so the stencil won’t smudge wet paint) and repeat all the way around the pot.

Allow the paint to dry overnight before using.

A permeable line T

he past few weeks have been even more difficult to comprehend than usual.

First, an American soldier allegedly murdered 16 Afghans — 11 in one family, 9 of them children — shooting, stabbing and burning them.

Then, in the French city of Toulouse, Mohammed Merah murdered three French soldiers (all of North African origin) and, a few days later, four people (one adult and three children) at a Jewish school, grabbing an 8-year-old girl by the hair the better to shoot her in the head.

We don’t have to deal with Mohammed Merah — he himself was shot in the head

by French police. But the accused American soldier, identified as Robert Bales, is still around, in the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth awaiting trial.

His lawyers claim that he doesn’t remember the killings; his army buddies say that he told them he killed a few men. He is innocent until proven guilty, although if the Afghan courts had gotten jurisdiction, maybe not.

One wonders: What were these people thinking? What kind of mental state allows you to do such things?

One wonders, and then one wonders not so much. If it were not for the geopolitical context of these crimes, and the number of victims, we might not have heard of them.

To pick just one statistic (from the U.S. Department of Justice): In 2005, more than 550 children under the age of 5 were murdered in the U.S. As for who the killers are, almost invariably they are described in one or more of the following terms: friendly, helpful (Bales); quiet, polite, courteous (Merah) … In other words, pretty much ordinary people.

As for what is going on in their minds, I can’t help but think that it is simply more of what everyone thinks at least some of the time: Someone else is less human than I am; my grievances are deep; my cause is just; and my deeds are therefore righteous.

The word “twisted” is often used to describe people who do — there is no other word for it — evil.

“Twisted” is a word used as a way of distancing them from us: they are twisted, we are not. But this has it backwards.

Until we acknowledge this, we cannot effectively deal with people who have crossed that line.

Why avow it? Because if we don’t avow it, if we don’t fully acknowledge that we too are twisted, then we will not be able to resist it, and we will not have the sanity to deal with those who did not resist.

Lawrence LAUNDRY If you can put together an outfit, you can decorate a room (and vice versa).

ALI EDWARDS

}

The same principles of style apply to home decorating

S

tyle doesn’t have to stop with your wardrobe. In fact, it shouldn’t.

Your style should transcend the cotton-y cage it’s typically confined to and venture into arenas like home decor, office accessories or even dinner plates.

After all, your style reflects your personality, and your personality doesn’t stop with clothes.

If you can put together an outfit, you can decorate a room (and vice versa). Using the same principles of color, texture and pattern, one can easily translate the styling of her outfit into the decorating of her abode.

In doing research for this column, I came across the most stunning examples of how to take inspiration from a particular outfit and use the same concepts to decorate a room.

Here’s why this particular example works:

Mixing patterns/styles: Mixing different patterns that one wouldn’t conventionally find together makes both outfits and rooms interesting and alive. This room includes some super vibrant solids married to more soft patterns, which creates a look that is mod and contemporary but still cozy.

The prints on the accent pieces (lamp, pillow, rug) help to break up the modern feel that solid-color items

establish. The outfit is a bit more “cold” than the room in that it uses sharp lines, heavily contrasted colors and slicked-back hair, but the bright orange color redeems the outfit from creeping over the line of unapproachable.

Color palette: Orange (more specifically, Tangerine Tango) was anticipated to be the color for 2012, and we’re seeing it everywhere. It’s loud; it’s warm; it’s a little bit dangerous. It’s definitely not the calming and serene blue/brown combo we saw so much of the last couple years. This room and outfit are both screaming, “LOOK AT ME!” Decorating in warm colors makes rooms feel cozy and small. Decorating in cool colors makes rooms feel soothing.

Throw in texture: Texture adds layers to outfits and rooms. There is no texture in the outfit and very little in the room, and the smooth and sharp edges create a very modern and contemporary vibe. If you want to create a more traditional, bohemian or vintage environment, use subtle switches in texture. Texture becomes more important in flat, neutral rooms. You can add/mix texture to make a room masculine (tweed, course material) or feminine (satin, breezy material).

M

y dear and loving husband possesses many great qualities. He knows how to take his own shirts to the dry cleaner and instilled a love of a wide variety of heavy metal bands in our children early on. He is kind, understanding, forgiving, and, in spite of the following story, which he finally agreed to let me tell in full in honor of the Go! home and garden special edition, he really is a skilled gardener.

We have a large window in the front of our house between our garage and front porch, nicely adorned with shrubs, flowers and mulch and decided this space needed some higher foliage to provide a bit of privacy, but with some pizzazz. A little ornamental burst of color within our otherwise khaki neighborhood.

My husband decided upon a Japanese maple. I agreed without hesitation as he had batted nearly a thousand with his lawn, garden and landscaping thus far.

In searching for the perfect Japanese maple, however, he found they could run hundreds of dollars more than he had hoped to spend on this tree that would greet visitors and passers-by alike, providing all who view our house with a first impression of its inhabitants. He had all but given up when he came across a website selling trees online — roots, trunk, branches and leaves — for only 40 bucks.

Five days later, the FedEx guy came to the door sporting the same hopeless grin as when he delivered my last mail-order swimsuit, holding a long, thin box marked “Live Tree: Plant Immediately.”

“Good luck,” he chuckled.

Too afraid to open it for fear my brown

JULIE DUNLAP

thumbs would rub off on it, I let the boxedup tree wait to be freed later that evening.

The day rolled on like normal. I picked kids up from school, made dinner, begged people to eat it and cleaned the kitchen while my husband unpackaged and silently planted his prized Japanese maple.

“They said it would probably take up to six weeks to really fill out,” he told me as I walked to the window to see it.

I stifled a laugh the best I could.

There, in front of our home for all to see, stood one lonely, branchless, budless twig bent over like a hairpin, anchored to a dowel rod twice its circumference.

“How much did you pay for this?” I asked, looking at the supposed Japanese maple. I had never seen anything like this.

Planted into the ground. By a grown-up.

“We need to give it time,” he insisted.

“We need to give it Viagra,” I observed.

The Japanese maple stick stood there, pathetic and hopeless, for eight long weeks until my husband overheard me laughing at it with some friends and uprooted it. But now you can laugh along too, because, as I said before, my husband is a kind, understanding and forgiving man. See the one and only photo still in existence online at LJWorld.com.

And have a happy, sunny day.

Lay a stone or brick patio for entertaining

L

aying a stone or brick patio is hard work, but with a strong back and a good level, you can have the patio of your dreams.

Step 1: Draw up the plan on paper and calculate material needs. Start small; patios can be added to over time.

Step 2: Use nylon string and wooden stakes to mark out the proposed patio site.

Set stakes and string out six inches from the actual planned edges to assure proper footing for the patio stones.

Step 3: Set a string line down the center of the work site at the desired height of the finished patio. Use a level and adjust the string height to create a slight pitch for water drainage; approximately 1/8 inch for every foot of length.

Step 4: Dig out the designated patio area to a depth of 8 inches.

Step 5: Fill the patio area 4 inches deep with screen fill, pea gravel or a similar material with particles ranging from dust to stones 3/4 inch in diameter.

Step 6: Lightly wet the patio area and use a tamper or plate compactor to compact the 4-inch fill as much as possible.

Step 7: Continue to add fill, wet and tamp until there is a solid base of fill 3

inches below the intended patio grade.

Step 8: Fill the graded patio area with approximately 2.5 inches of screened sand.

Step 9: Use a straight two-by-four to level the sand, keeping the 1/8 inch grade slope for drainage.

Step 10: For patios using uniform-sized pavers or brick, mark guide lines using chalk and string line. Beginning laying pavers along one border and work across row by row to the other side of the patio.

Step 11: For patios using multiple sized stones, lay the largest stones in several key spots and then add smaller stones to fill in open areas.

Step 12: Set each stone in place, using a rubber mallet to wedge stones together where necessary. Use a 4-foot level to assure the stone surfaces are aligned and flush with each other.

Step 13: Once all the stones are set, cover the patio with a layer of sand. Sweep and tamp sand into the joints, dampen with water and repeat until all the gaps are filled.

Allergies in pets: Airborne, fleas, food, contact

L

ANGELES (AP) — Allergies can cause misery for pets and humans alike. But allergies in animals are not always easy to diagnose and treat.

“I feel so bad because he can’t tell me what’s wrong,” said Angela Duyao of Gilroy, 80 miles south of San Francisco. Harley, her 2-year-old Shih Tzu, has food and seasonal allergies.

It took Duyao, an administrative assistant, 18 months and more than $1,000 to find out Harley was allergic to poultry and pollen.

All dogs and cats can get allergies, and the most common reaction is OS

scratching, said veterinarian Donna Spector, an internal medicine specialist based in Deerfield, Ill. “Allergies are a real head-banger.

They are frustrating for vets, they’re frustrating for clients and the dogs and cats itch like crazy so we know it is frustrating for them. Allergies are very challenging to diagnose accurately because it’s a diagnosis of exclusion. It takes a lot of money and a lot of time. It takes a very dedicated owner,” she said.

There are four kinds of pet allergies: airborne (tree, grass and weed pollen; mold, mildew and dust mites), fleas, food and contact (like

carpeting or detergent). The most common pet allergy comes from fleas.

People and pets can cause each other problems: People can be allergic to pet hair or dander, and pets can be allergic to products humans use.

Most pet allergies cause scratching. Some other symptoms include discoloration of hair between toes, rashes, open sores, watery eyes, ear infections, runny noses, vomiting and diarrhea, said Spector, a frequent guest on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” She is a consultant to the pet food company co-owned by DeGeneres called Halo, Purely For Pets.
