Agencies Project honors kids in need facing dramatic funding changes UNITED WAY

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A new philosophy by the United Way of Douglas County has caused 2012 funding amounts for several local social service agencies to swing wildly, with some agencies seeing funding changes of about $100,000.

Officials with the United Way recently announced their 2012 funding allocations, and now several agencies are making midyear budget adjustments to reflect new funding realities.

“It is a big change for several organizations,” said Erika Dvorske, executive director of the local United Way. “We’ve asked our volunteers to really Dvorske look through a whole new lens when it comes to allocating funding.”

Dvorske said the United Way board was asked to not consider past amounts an organization received in funding, but rather to make all allocation decisions based on how an organization’s programs fit into one of three community goals: improving education, self-sufficiency and health.

The new process produced some dramatic changes for organizations. The Ballard Center saw the largest decline in funding, losing about $102,000 in United Way funding compared with 2011.

Dianne Ensminger, president and CEO of Ballard, said the loss of funding most greatly will affect the agency’s emergency utility and rent assistance program.

“We know the United Way is working to do what is most appropriate with its new funding model, but it is still disappointing to experience a significant decrease in funding,” Ensminger said.

She said the United Way funding accounted for about half of the emergency rent Please see UNITED, page 2A

Parents urged to discuss alcohol dangers with teens early, often

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Speakers Friday at a forum aimed at curbing underage drinking urged parents to initiate talks with teenagers early about the dangers of alcohol abuse and revisit them often.

“It’s important for parents to know that study after student has consistently shown that kids who are permitted to

drink in their (parents’) homes drink more often and drink more outside the home when their parents are not around,” said Jen Jordan, a member of the Draw the Line Lawrence coalition and prevention coordinator at DCCCA. About 75 people attended the event at The Granada, 1020 Mass., and Jordan said national statistics show college students are less likely to drink

they don’t need that talk or that they don’t need to hear what you think and how you believe,” said Dustin Chase, a Lawrence police neighborhood resource officer. “Let them know that even if they do mess up, you’re going to be there for them.”

“Have this discussion with other parents of your kids’ peer group, like how they monitor what happens at their house,”

said Nancy Renfro, a Lawrence parent.

Know where your kids are going and who they are with, especially on weekends.

and utility assistance program. She said the economy has caused demand for such assistance to increase.

“We are seeing more and more families that are ending up at the lake or living out of cars because they can’t get the assistance they need,” Ensminger said.

Ensminger said the Ballard Center is working to conduct more fundraising and will hope Douglas County commissioners can provide an increase in funding for the organization in 2013.

The Lawrence-based Success by 6 Coalition received the largest funding increase, receiving approximately $138,000 more than it did in 2011.

Rich Minder, projects coordinator for Success by 6, said the new funding will allow the organization to greatly expand the training and assistance it provides to early childhood education centers in Douglas County.

Minder estimated the organization would be able to provide assistance — everything from direct grants for child-care centers to coaching programs for teachers — to 11 additional early-childhood education centers in 2012.

“In 10 years, I really do believe that anybody in Douglas County who has children zero to 6 years old, and who needs child care in order to work, can be guaranteed high-quality, affordable child care,” Minder said. “We really can get there, and this is a step in that direction.”

But House Republican leaders rejected that idea, and the Legislature adjourned without passing a bill that the court system said it needed.

TOPEKA — Democratic legislators criticized Republicans over Friday’s first of five scheduled statewide court closings and furloughs of court employees.

“It is inexcusable that more than 1,500 Kansans are home without pay and public services are being denied while the governor and legislative Republicans sit on a $500 million surplus,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka.

State Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, said, “Every day Kansans are being hurt by the inability to access the courts in a timely manner.”

The closings were ordered by Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss after the Legislature failed to approve a supplemental budget that included $1.4 million to help the judicial branch meet payroll for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30.

Nuss warned legislators that the judicial system needed the funding because of lower than expected case filings.

But a budget deal broke down at the final moment before the Republicandominated Legislature adjourned March 30 for its annual break.

The cause of the collapse was an impasse over school funding. Both House and Senate budget negotiators had agreed to provide $24.6

general operating expenses. Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, has steered clear of the funding battle, saying only that he was confident the Legislature would reach a budget agreement during the wrap-up session.

But meanwhile, Democrats said taxpayers will be the losers over the fight.

Legislative Democrats held news conferences outside Shawnee, Wyandotte and Sedgwick county courthouses.

They said Kansans will be unable to access a wide variety of services on court closure days, such as getting protective orders, marriage licenses and orders dealing with child support.

The remaining court closures are April 27, May 11, May 25 and June 8.

While the most severe storms are expected to hit in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, there could be severe weather in Iowa, Missouri, Texas and portions of Illinois. On Sunday, the storm system is expected to move east Sunday, centering over Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana.

“This is a very powerful weather situation,” Schneider said. “The environment is extremely favorable for violent, longtrack tornadoes.

“The only question is when and where these storms will initially develop.”

TOPEKA — The departure of Gov. Sam Brownback’s chief of staff David Kensinger during a bruising legislative session has raised questions throughout the Kansas political world.

Last week, Brownback, a Republican, announced that his longtime assistant and strategist left to take on two jobs: work on Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Pence’s campaign for governor of Indiana and serve as chairman of Road Map Solutions.

But Pence has no opposition in the May 8 Republican Party primary in Indiana.

Resignation clears the way for key hirings at KUMC

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

This week’s announcement

by Dr. Barbara Atkinson that she would resign her dual positions as Kansas University executive vice chancellor and dean of the KU School of Medicine is good news.

Atkinson joined the School of Medicine in 2000, was named executive dean in 2002 and became executive vice chancellor in 2005. Many positives have taken place at the medical school while Atkinson served in leadership positions, such as the massive effort to gain the highly prized National Cancer Center designation.

However, negatives and a lack of leadership skills overshadowed the accomplishments, and either Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little or the Kansas Board of Regents decided it was time to make changes.

Atkinson is to be congratulated for moving the date of her resignations up by 18 months.

It’s good in that replacements for these two important positions will be hired much quicker, good in that the poor, illogical and harmful manner in which these positions were to be filled may be reversed, and good in that the morale among KU medical school staff members is sure to improve.

Another extremely good result of her decision to step aside is that chances appear far better to develop a rewarding relationship with neighboring and na-

tionally ranked KU Hospital.

KU Hospital is among the nation’s best teaching hospitals, and there are plans to make it an even more comprehensive and outstanding operation. Under Atkinson’s leadership of the KU School of Medicine, the relationship with KU Hospital left much to be desired. A new executive vice chancellor and dean are likely to bring about major changes that allow the school and hospital to combine forces and assets and become a health and research center that will attract national and international attention.

New leadership, vision and enthusiasm, a focus and appreciation of excellence and leadership that merits and generates the respect of the faculty all combine to set the stage for almost unlimited growth that feeds off the strengths of both entities to become a medical care-research powerhouse.

For one reason or another, Atkinson was unable to enthuse and/or inspire her associates. Morale was poor, and her dual roles were a problem. The staff’s long-delayed evaluation of Atkinson is reported to have been “shockingly bad,” and the sequence she and Gray-Little set for filling the two vacancies disappointed and angered the faculty.

For some unexplained reason, Gray-Little and Atkinson decided to fill the dean’s position before the vice chancellorship, thereby not allowing the vice

chancellor any voice in the selection of the dean. This same, difficult-to-understand reasoning was used at KU when deans were selected before a new provost was hired. This is wrong, as the deans work at the pleasure of the provost.

It is reported that members of the medical school search committee, particularly the “outside” members, made their concerns known and said it was making the search/selection effort more difficult.

COMMENTARY Another factor coloring Atkinson’s position with her faculty, and with those at KU Hospital, is that she, along with some in Strong Hall and some Kansas City business leaders, favored a plan that would have weakened both the medical school and the hospital in order to strengthen Kansas City’s St. Luke’s Hospital. Fortunately, this effort died, but there still are some who hold out hope for such a plan.

Now the task is to find a truly outstanding executive vice chancellor and dean. Gray-Little is reported to favor maintaining two separate positions.

Those on the selection committee have a rare opportunity to find and select two truly outstanding individuals to move into these positions. They must set their sights high!

Unfortunately, some recent

selection efforts at KU have produced mixed results. The KU medical school is too important not to seek the best.

Medical school staff members are enthused about the selection of Dr. Steven Stites to serve as acting vice chancellor and dean.

He is chairman of the internal medicine department, and fellow staff members describe him as “top-flight,” a “very safe pick,” an individual who “has the confidence of his associates and apparently the confidence of the chancellor,” an “excellent selection” and an “overall very nice person.”

Stites has said he is not a candidate to fill either job permanently. His associates stress that a lot is being asked of Stites in holding down three important positions and that he deserves a strong team to handle the transition from Atkinson to two new executive officers.

Staff members also emphasize the medical school needs to operate with far more transparency and that some of Atkinson’s policies need to be altered for the good of the school.

Another “good” that could, or should, result from Atkinson’s resignation is that the governor, state lawmakers and the public have evidence of how out of touch or uninformed those serving on the Board of Regents are about the universities they are supposed to oversee and coordinate.

They did not know about the “Atkinson situation,” the “Hemenway situation,” the “Perkins

situation” or the “KU School of Business situation.” If they say they knew about these situations, they are acknowledging that they didn’t have the courage and backbone to make the proper decisions. If there are “situations” at KU that need prompt, forceful action, how many “situations” are there at the other schools they are supposed to oversee and coordinate? The state and its taxpayers deserve better performance by the regents.

Fortunately, good days are ahead for the KU medical school with Stites moving into his added leadership roles. The importance of the search committee cannot be overstated. Vacancies for jobs such as the executive vice chancellor and dean do not open up that often, and when they do, members of the selection committee are holding the growth, future and excellence of the school in their hands.

This is contrary to what apparently has happened in some past searches at KU, where members have tried but were unable to find, recruit and assemble a glittering pool of candidates and have gone ahead and recommended one or more candidates from a lesser pool to fill a top position.

Far better to acknowledge no one measured up and start a new search than to make a mistake.

Those on the medical school search committee cannot accept second best for these two positions.

New fiscal forecasts for Kansas more optimistic

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Government officials and economists displayed confidence in Kansas’ economy Friday, declaring that it will continue to grow and issuing new, more optimistic financial forecasts that boost state revenue projections by about 2 percent through June 2013.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOPcontrolled Legislature will use the new numbers in finishing their work on a state budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 and determining how much to cut taxes. The new numbers give them an extra cushion of $252 million.

The forecasters revised revenue projections made in November, when they said state government should collect about $6.2 billion in general revenues for both the current and next fiscal years. They raised the estimate for the current fiscal year by $129 million, leaving it a little short of $6.4 billion, and increased projected revenues for the next fiscal year by $123 million, pushing them past $6.4 billion.

The new numbers reflect declines over time in unemployment, a lessening of drought-related stress on an otherwise solid agricultural industry and increased oil production. The forecasters revised projections upward for sales, individual income and corporate income taxes.

“We see an economy that is in good shape,” said Steve Anderson, the governor’s budget director,

The new forecasts were drafted by legislative researchers, Department of Revenue officials, members of Brownback’s budget staff and an economist from each of the state’s three largest universities.

The new revenue projections are certain to kick off a lively debate about the budget and tax cuts even before lawmakers return April 25 from their annual spring break to wrap up business for the year.

Brownback is pushing for an overhaul of the state’s individual tax code, to reduce top rates and exempt about 191,000 businesses from income taxes.

Legislators are considering alternative income tax proposals, as well as measures to reduce sales taxes and rein in local property taxes.

And Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene JonesSontag continued to tout

Brownback’s tax proposals, adding in a statement, “Now is not the time to go back to wasteful spending.”

Last year, faced with a projected budget shortfall approaching $500 million, the conservative Republican governor successfully pushed legislators to cut the state’s base aid to public schools by nearly 6 percent to keep the budget balanced. With the economy improving, the state expects to end its next fiscal year with healthy cash reserves.

Democrats and some moderate GOP legislators would like to add back money for public schools and provide aid to cities and counties so they don’t have to rely as much on property taxes to finance local services.

“These new revenue estimates give the Legislature no excuse,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

Amtrak says rail route could move out of state by 2016 HUTCHINSON (AP) — If money to upgrade and maintain Amtrak’s Southwest Chief route through Kansas isn’t promised by 2014, the passenger rail service will start the process of moving the route out of the state by 2016, Amtrak officials told a group of legislative and transportation officials.

The poor condition of the track between Hutchinson and Garden City forces Amtrak to slow down its passenger trains, which go through western Kansas on a daily

route between Chicago and Los Angeles. The track is owned by BNSF Railway, which maintains the lines just enough to allow its freight trains to go 30 to 40 mph. BNSF’s investment in maintenance has dropped in recent years as freight traffic has declined.

Officials estimate it will cost about $100 million to upgrade the track to allow Amtrak trains to return to desired speeds, plus up to $10 million per year for maintenance, The Hutchinson News reported.

“The tracks are steel, but they’re 60 years old,” Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said during a meeting Thursday in Garden City. “They do wear out. Funding to maintain and improve track will be needed in coming years in order for the Southwest Chief to continue to serve the current route.”

The current agreement between Amtrak and BNSF ends in 2016, Magliari said, and Amtrak will then be required to pick up the full cost of maintaining the route.

BRIEFLY Fall victim flown to K.C. hospital A man who was injured when he fell about 10 feet at Easy Living Mobile Home Park, 3323 Iowa, was flown to a Kansas City hospital Friday afternoon.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Lyle Schwartz said it was not immediately clear if the man fell off a ladder or from a roof of a mobile home.

Crews at 1:50 p.m. called for a LifeStar ambulance to transport the man initially said to have suffered serious injuries.

Officers set up a landing zone on the west side of Iowa Street, and about 2:15 p.m. he was flown to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.

she was in traffic ahead of him. He’s accused of approaching the woman’s vehicle, opening her door and taking off her cap and hitting her with it.

McKinley said an officer was called by a third party about 4:15 p.m. about the incident, so it occurred some time before then.

The suspect was located nearby, interviewed and given the notice to appear in municipal court on the battery charge.

Municipal court officials said Friday that information about the citation was still in the process of being forwarded to the court clerk’s office and that additional details, including the man’s name and court date, could not be released.

there was initially a concern because Flowers when reported missing was believed not to have medication prescribed to him after an injury he suffered in Iraq.

His family was concerned for his safety.

“The sheriff’s office thanks everyone for their assistance in locating Flowers,” Erickson said.

Chief CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Pence’s campaign spokesman did not return a phone call or email for comment on what Kensinger is doing for the campaign. Kensinger also declined to comment for this story.

Some Republicans have said Kensinger will work this spring and summer to try to oust moderate Republican state senators during the Aug. 7 GOP primary and deliver control of the Senate to conservatives who are more in line with Brownback’s agenda.

Road Map Solutions, which will now be led by Kensinger, was described by the governor’s office as “Brownback’s policy organization.”

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, said, “The plan is for him (Kensinger) to basically run those conservative Senate campaigns.”

As chairman of Road Map Solutions, Kensinger said in a prepared statement: “In this role,

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, right, said, “The plan is for him (Kensinger) to basically run those conservative Senate campaigns.”

I will be free to advocate in the public square for policies which will fulfill the goals described in Gov. Brownback’s Road Map for Kansas: private sector job growth, increased personal income, improved 4th grade reading scores, expanded opportunities for college age Kansans and a reduction in childhood poverty.”

Road Map for Kansas was Brownback’s political platform that he ran on in 2010.

Road Map Solutions Inc. is registered with the Kansas secretary of state’s office as a not-for-profit corporation that was formed last December.

T.C. Anderson is the resident agent. Anderson serves as treasurer of several of Brownback’s campaign finance committees, including the Road Map Political Action Committee, which is Brownback’s leadership committee.

Road Map Solutions is an issue advocacy organization that can raise unlimited amounts of money and does not have to disclose its donors. Its funds can be used to educate or inform constituents. The Road Map PAC will be available to fund specific candidates.

According to documents filed with the state, Road Map PAC Inc. is affiliated with Road Map Solutions, Brownback for Governor and Restore America PAC, which was Brownback’s PAC when he was a U.S. senator.

In a January filing, there was no money in the Road Map PAC. The next time the public will be able to see what is in that PAC won’t be until July 30, just eight days before the Republican Party primary.

Committee holding hearing on Kansas biosecurity lab

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Department of Homeland Security officials told a panel of researchers on Friday that a new animal research lab slated to be built in Kansas still is needed, even though federal funds are scarce.

Undersecretary Tara O’Toole said during a public hearing in Washington that the threat of existing and emerging animal health disease remains real and construction of the proposed National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Kansas should move forward.

New cost estimates discussed Friday place the price tag at $1.14 billion to design and build the facility. DHS officials said the increased cost was attributed to changes in the design of the lab to mitigate the possibility of a release of deadly pathogen.

O’Toole said DHS doesn’t have the money or facilities to conduct the necessary research on emerging and existing diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, because of

shrinking federal spending and revenues.

“I want you to understand that this tension will exist. You can’t do research without modern facilities.

But the money for modern facilities comes out of the same piggy bank for research,” she said. “I think this is one of those wicked problems for which there is no complete or satisfying answer.”

A panel of the National Research Council is reviewing plans for the lab, which is to be built near Kansas State University in Manhattan.

The National Research Council is part of the National Academy of Sciences. The committee is examining to what extent the threat to livestock posed by infectious diseases, including current and emerging diseases and bioterrorist agents.

The review will include studying relevant articles and reports on the topic.

Based on those findings, the committee will identify the laboratory and infrastructure that is needed to counter the threats to maintain public health, ani-

mal health and food safety in the United States.

The committee will look at the need to continue to build the lab as designed, scale the project back or maintain the decades-old Plum Island lab in New York and use so-called “Level 4” labs in Canada and Australia for research and analysis of diseases.

The Kansas facility would be a Level 4 lab, with access to ongoing research at Kansas State and animal health companies located in the region.

However, DHS officials told the panel Friday that time is a critical factor in detecting a disease and responding to an outbreak.

“It is not good policy to rely on foreign partners,” said James Johnson, DHS director, of the Office of National Laboratories in the science and technology directorate.

The committee is expected to issue its report

by June 30.

Kansas officials have committed $105 million in bonding authority to assist with NBAF’s construction, including building a utility plant for the lab.

CORRECTIONS An article Friday on the Kansas Democratic Party caucus incorrectly stated who won the 1964 presidential election. It was President Lyndon Johnson.

Forecast prompts schools to move proms WICHITA — Saturday’s threat of powerful tornadoes has administrators at some Kansas high schools taking no chances with student safety.

KSNW-TV reports at least three high schools in south-central Kansas are moving their Saturday night proms to safer locations.

Goddard High School’s prom had been planned for a hall in Wichita. But principal Doug Birdwell says administrators decided Friday to hold it in the school

itself, where students can take shelter in safe rooms if needed.

Maize and Valley Center high schools are also moving their proms to buildings with FEMA storm shelters.

Those measures would make sense to residents of Hoisington, where a massive tornado struck without warning on April 21, 2001.

Students attending prom at Hoisington High School huddled in the basement as the twister tore the roof off the building.

BACKGROUND The bioscience incubator on West Campus is fully leased with nine tenants that have generated 75 local jobs. Leaders of the center are now proposing an expansion that would roughly double the size of the facility. Douglas County commissioners recently committed $1 million to the project

over a 10-year period. The city last year approved $500,000 in funding for the expansion. The city has budgeted to provide $500,000 in 2012. Tuesday’s action would allow the city to proceed with issuing $500,000 worth of debt this fall, which will allow the city to provide the funding to the center.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s hopes of using diplomacy to defuse an unpredictable, nuclear-equipped North Korea fizzled with that country’s failed rocket launch, leaving Obama with little to show for his overture to the new North Korean leader.

The launch Friday, in defiance of U.S. and international demands, scuttled a once-promising deal to exchange muchneeded U.S. food aid for nuclear concessions and the prospect of broader disarmament talks.

Obama had insisted that “bad behavior” would not be rewarded and now has few options to restart negotiations without appearing to let North Korea off the hook.

Obama told an interviewer Friday that the launch would only serve to further cut off North Korea from the rest of the world and shows the regime is willing to waste money on “rockets that don’t work at a time when their people are starving.”

He said in the interview with the Spanish-language TV network “Telemundo” that the U.S. would work with other nations to further isolate North Korea and “keep the pressure on them,” although he was not specific.

Almost immediately after the launch, Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney accused Obama of trying to

The White House responded tartly.

Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes was asked whether the launch represented a failure of administration efforts to engage the North’s new rulers.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “What this administration has done is broken the cycle of rewarding provocative actions by the North Koreans that we’ve seen in the past.”

for the testing of a longrange missile, and worries remain about North Korea’s nuclear program amid reports that it may be planning another atomic test soon.

The Obama administration is trying to shift its foreign policy emphasis toward Asia, home of most of the world’s fastest-developing economies and markets, and had hoped that even modest improvements in relations with North Korea could help.

The impoverished, heavily militarized autocracy is a looming threat to U.S. allies like South Korea and Japan. It is an irritant in U.S. relations with regional powerhouse China because of China’s role as protector of its fellow communist state.

A sudden leadership change in North Korea seemed to improve the odds of better footing with the regime, one of the pariah nations former President George W. Bush placed on his “axis of evil” 10 years ago. The food deal reached Feb. 29 was supposed to open the way for new talks that could eventually broker an end to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program and the proliferation risk it poses.

North Korea had promised to suspend uranium enrichment at a major facility and refrain from missile and nuclear tests.

Obama noted in the Telemundo interview that “they’ve been trying to launch missiles like this for over a decade now, and they don’t seem to be real good at it.”

TRAYVON MARTIN SHOOTING

Prosecutors: Racial slur not used

Syria truce holds but 6 killed in protests

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy and Zeina Karam Associated Press

BEIRUT — Syrian forces used live fire, tear gas and clubs to beat back tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets across the country Friday in powerful and often jubilant displays of defiance.

But a U.N.-brokered truce largely held up without the widespread, bloody offensives that have pushed the nation toward civil war.

Activists said security forces killed at least six people, a lower-than-usual toll. The rallies, described as some of the largest in months, stretched from the suburbs of Damascus to the central province of Hama, Idlib in the north and the southern province of Daraa, where the uprising began in March 2011.

“Come on, Bashar, leave!” the crowd shouted in Daraa, linking arms and stomping their feet to the beat of a drum in a traditional Arab folk dance, according to a video posted online by activists.

The protests might have been far larger had President Bashar Assad’s regime not violated a

key aspect of the truce by keeping troops, tanks and snipers in population centers instead of pulling them back to barracks. The presence of plainclothes agents of the feared Mukhabarat security service also had a chilling effect on some of the gatherings in Damascus, the capital, and elsewhere.

The demonstrations were a critical test of the cease-fire, which went into effect at dawn Thursday, because they challenged the government’s commitment to avoid the kind of attacks that have made Syria one of the bloodiest conflicts of the Arab Spring revolts.

Regime forces tried to block protesters from occupying main squares out of fear they will form a sitin akin to Cairo’s Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands of people camped out for days in an extraordinary scene that drove longtime Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak from power.

Many world leaders expressed doubt that the truce would endure in a country where 9,000 people have been killed during the 13-month uprising, according to U.N. figures.

ORLANDO, FLA. — Despite what some people think they heard, prosecutors say George Zimmerman did not utter a racial slur in his call to 911 on the night he shot Trayvon Martin.

The disputed words on the recording turned out to be “these f------ punks,” prosecutors said in an affidavit filed Thursday in support of the murder charges brought against the neighborhood watch volunteer in the Feb. 26 slaying of the unarmed black teenager.

In yet another passage in the affidavit that caught the attention of those watching the racially charged case, prosecutors said Zimmerman “profiled” Martin just before the shooting. The document did not elaborate, and a spokeswoman for special prosecutor Angela Corey on Friday refused to explain it.

But legal experts warned that “profiling” does not necessarily mean “racial profiling.” ‘‘Profiling” is a common law enforcement practice of using a set of facts and circumstances to determine whether someone may be committing a crime. Police typically look at a person’s behavior and appearance, as well as other factors.

In the Martin case, Zimmerman told a police dispatcher: “This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something.”

Zimmerman reported that the teenager had his hand in his waistband and was walking around, looking at homes in the gated community in Sanford, which had had several break-ins in the past year.

“When we see the word ‘punks’ and we connect that to the word ‘profile,’ I don’t think that is compelling proof that it’s racial profiling,” said Kendall

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, CENTER, STANDS with his attorney Mark O’Mara, right, and a Seminole County Deputy during a court hearing Thursday in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in Miami who is now in private practice.

“This guy appeared to Zimmerman to meet the profile of a criminal.”

He added: “Whether you’re white, black or Hispanic. You have a hoodie.

You’re walking around.”

Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, said the affidavit supported his contention that race wasn’t a factor.

“Presumably, they’ve looked at all the evidence and haven’t determined anything that would support a racial component,” O’Mara said Friday.

Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense, telling police that Martin attacked him as he was walking back to his truck. Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic.

After the release of the 911 recording in midMarch, the belief that Zimmerman muttered a racial slur fed suspicions

that the killing was racially motivated and stoked demands that the U.S. Justice Department bring civil rights charges. News organizations used audio technology to enhance the 911 call and try to figure out what he said.

Prosecutors did not explain how they reached their conclusion. But Harry Shorstein, who was Corey’s predecessor as state attorney in Jacksonville, said her team probably relied on audio enhancing from the FBI or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Shorstein called such enhancing “an indefinite science.” But Coffey said the fact that Corey inserted the exchange in the affidavit reflects her team’s confidence that Zimmerman used the word “punks” and not the slur.

Legal experts cautioned that the affidavit, the full text of which is available at apne.ws/Itn7Nu, is just a rough sketch of

the prosecution’s case and does not contain all the evidence. But Coffey said he did not see enough in the affidavit for the Justice Department to make a hate-crime case stick.

Nevertheless, Florida defense attorney Randy McClean said Zimmerman’s use of the word “punks” and his profanity in describing Martin may help Florida prosecutors make the case that Zimmerman was the aggressor.

“It begs the question of who was the most likely aggressor,” McClean said. “A teenager walking home ... or the person who believes the teenager he is observing is a ‘f------ punk,’ an ‘ass---,’ and getting away with something.”

U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said the department is conducting its own, separate investigation, and she refused to comment on the special prosecutor’s findings.

Hybrid, electric cars see record sales in March

By Dee-Ann Durbin Associated Press

DETROIT — Americans are buying record numbers of hybrid and electric cars as gas prices climb and new models arrive in showrooms, giving the vehicles their greatest share yet of the U.S. auto market.

Consumers bought a record 52,000 gas-electric hybrids and all-electric cars in March, up from 34,000 during the same month last year.

The two categories combined made up 3.64 percent of total U.S. sales, their highest monthly market share ever, according to Ward’s Auto-

Budget woes necessitate redrawing plans to Mars

By Alicia Chang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Know how to go to Mars cheaply? NASA can use your help.

The space agency on Friday put out a call for ideas for the next Mars mission in 2018. The fine print: The cost can’t be astronomical and the idea has to move the country closer to landing humans on the red planet in the 2030s.

“This is the kickoff,” said NASA sciences chief John Grunsfeld.

The race to redraw a new, cheaper road map comes two months after NASA pulled out of a partnership with the European Space Agency on two missions targeted for 2016 and 2018, a move that angered scientists. The 2018 mission represented the first step toward hauling Martian soil and rocks back to Earth for detailed study — something many

researchers say is essential in determining whether microbial life once existed there.

Agency officials said returning samples is still a priority, but a reboot was necessary given the financial reality.

In the past decade, NASA has spent $6.1 billion exploring Earth’s closest planetary neighbor.

President Barack Obama’s latest proposed budget slashed spending for solar system exploration by 21 percent, making the collaboration with the Europeans unaffordable.

A newly formed team will cull through the ideas and come up with options by summer around the time when NASA’s latest mission, a $2.5 billion carsized rover Curiosity, will land near the equator on Mars.

NASA headquarters is the ultimate decider of which future projects to fund.

couraged people to trade in old gas guzzlers for more fuel-efficient cars.

And while their share of the market remains small, it’s a big leap from the start of the year, when hybrids and electrics made up 2.38 percent of new car sales.

Buyers were drawn by new models like the Toyota Prius C subcompact, the Prius V wagon and Camry hybrid. Gas prices near or above $4 per gallon added to the cars’ attraction.

David Martin, a Denver software engineer, estimates he’ll save at least $150 per month on gas with his new Chevrolet Volt compared with the 2010 Acura TSX he re-

placed. Martin expects gas prices to stay high, a factor that heavily influenced his purchase.

“As the cost of gasoline rises, my future savings can only increase,” he said.

Stronger sales of the Volt and the Nissan Leaf were a positive sign for electric car makers. The two vehicles have struggled to gain acceptance from buyers worried about how far they can drive on a battery charge.

Another concern: Volt maker General Motors Co. had to change the car’s charging system because its batteries caught fire after government crash tests.

Vt. governor chased by bear in backyard

By Wilson Ring Associated Press

MONTPELIER, VT. — A late-night encounter with four bears trying to snack from backyard birdfeeders gave Vermont’s governor a lesson in what not to do in bear country.

One of the bears chased Peter Shumlin and nearly caught the governor while he was trying to shoo the animals away, he said Friday.

“I had a close encounter with a bear, four bears to be exact,” Shumlin said.

Shumlin said he had just gone to bed inside his rented home on the edge of Montpelier late Wednesday when the bears woke him up. He looked out the window and saw the bears in a tree about five feet from the house trying to get food from his four birdfeeders.

“I open up the window and yell at them to get away from the birdfeeders. They kind of trot off,” Shumlin said Friday. “I go around to the kitchen to

turn the lights on and look from the other side and they’re back in the birdfeeders. So I figure I’ve got to get the birdfeeders out of there or they’re going to make this a habit.”

He said he then ran out and first grabbed two of the feeders. As he grabbed the other two and made his escape, “one of the bigger bears was interested in me.”

“It was probably six feet from me before I slammed the door and it ran the other way,” Shumlin said.

Shumlin said he didn’t stop to get dressed, though he didn’t reveal exactly how little he was wearing.

“I sleep like many Vermont boys, without too much clothing at night.

I’m not a big pajama person,” he said. “The bottom line is: The bears were dressed better than I and they could have done some real damage.”

Shumlin, 56, a first term Democratic governor from Putney, said he had part of the encounter on video, which he refused to release.

Buffett rule won’t close federal deficit WASHINGTON — Here we go again.

At the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama argued that the country’s spiraling debt was largely the result of exploding health care costs. That was true. He then said the cure for these exploding costs would be his health care reform. That was not true.

It was obvious at the time that it could never be true. If government gives health insurance to 33 million uninsured, that costs.

Costs a lot. There’s no free lunch.

Now we know. The Congressional Budget Office’s latest estimate is that Obamacare will add $1.76 trillion in federal expenditures through 2022. And, as one of the Medicare trustees has just made clear, if you don’t double count the $575 billion set aside for the Medicare trust fund, Obamacare adds to

Charles Krauthammer

“

letters@charleskrauthammer.com

Three years ago, Obama promised universal health care that saves money. Today, he offers a capital gains tax hike that spurs economic growth. This is freelunch egalitarianism.”

the already crushing national debt.

Three years later, we are back to smoke and mirrors. This time it’s not health care but the Buffett Rule, which would impose a minimum 30 percent effective tax rate on millionaires. Here is how Obama introduced it last September: “Warren Buffett’s secretary shouldn’t pay a (higher) tax rate than Warren Buffett. ... And that basic principle of fairness, if applied to our tax code, could raise enough money” to “stabilize our debt and deficits for the next decade. ... This is not politics; this is math.”

OK. Let’s do the math. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates this new tax would yield between $4 billion and $5 billion a year. If we collect the Buffett tax for the next 250 years — a span longer than the life of this republic — it would not cover the Obama deficit for 2011 alone.

As an approach to our mountain of debt, the Buffett Rule is a farce. And yet Obama

repeated the ridiculous claim again this week. “It will help us close our deficit.”

Does he really think we’re that stupid?

Hence the fallback: The Buffett Rule is a first step in tax reform. On the contrary.

It’s a substitute for tax reform, an evasion of tax reform. In three years, Obama hasn’t touched tax (or, for that matter, entitlement) reform, and clearly has no intention to. The Buffett Rule is nothing but a form of redistributionism that has vanishingly little to do with debt reduction and everything to do with re-election.

As such, it’s clever. It deftly channels the sentiment underlying Occupy Wall Street (original version, before its slovenly, whiny, aggressive weirdness made it politically toxic). It perfectly pits the 99 percent against the 1 percent. Indeed, it is OWS translated into legislation, something the actual occupiers never had the wit to come up with.

Clever politics, but in terms of economics, it’s worse than useless. It’s counterproductive. The reason Buffett and Mitt Romney pay roughly 15 percent in taxes is that their income is principally capital gains. The Buffett Rule is, in fact, a disguised tax hike on capital gains. But Obama prefers to present it as just an alternative minimum tax because 50 years of economic history show that raising the capital gains tax backfires: It reduces federal revenues, while lowering the tax raises revenues.

No matter. Obama had famously said in

2008 that even if that’s the case, he’d still raise the capital gains tax — for the sake of fairness.

For Obama, fairness is the supreme social value. And fairness is what he is running on — although he is not prepared to come clean on its price. Or even acknowledge that there is a price. Instead, Obama throws in a free economic lunch for all. “This is not just about fairness,” he insisted on Wednesday.

“This is also about growth.”

Growth? The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world. Now, in the middle of a historically weak recovery, Obama wants to raise our capital gains tax to the fourth highest. No better way to discourage investment — and the jobs and growth that come with it.

Three years ago, Obama promised universal health care that saves money. Today, he offers a capital gains tax hike that spurs economic growth. This is free-lunch egalitarianism.

The Buffett Rule redistributes deck chairs on the Titanic, ostensibly to make more available for those in steerage. Nice idea, but the iceberg cometh. The enterprise is an exercise in misdirection — a distraction not just from Obama’s dismal record on growth and unemployment but, more importantly, from his dereliction of duty in failing to this day to address the utterly predictable and devastating debt crisis ahead.

Reading revolution bears watching

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

America is going through a reading revolution, and none of us knows exactly where it will lead. But it bears watching because its impact will be felt by us all.

Here’s a great example of the kind of change we are experiencing. The Encyclopaedia Britannica announced that it would no longer produce a print version. It is going exclusively online. First published in 1768 as a part of the Scottish Enlightenment, for many generations this set of books — all 32 volumes and 33,000 pages — was the tangible embodiment of human learning. Its very name reflects this: in ancient Greek encyclopedia means “complete knowledge.”

While not everyone has feelings for the demise of the printed version of the once mighty Britannica, many do have deep attachments to traditional books. In homes throughout the country, printed and bound sheets of paper are treasured possessions, placed on shelves in public view, to be seen and admired by visitors. They are awarded these exalted positions for a simple reason: They played important parts in our lives. Books helped us understand the world, provided comfort in times of need, created paths to academic and professional success.

The impact of books extends well beyond our personal histories. Their role in shaping society cannot be overstated. For centuries, the printed word has been the primary way we store and spread the knowledge that underpins our arts, culture, government and scienc-

es. They are also the way we create a common cultural currency.

But the world is changing. Traditional books are on the decline. Use of iPads, Kindles and Nooks is shooting through the roof. Last December, 18 percent of Americans owned a digital reading device. After the 2011 holiday season, this number jumped to 29 percent. And there is no indication that sales will slow down. Add that half of Americans have smart phones and three-quarters have home computers, and you have a potential reading revolution. And while electronic books only represented about 9 percent of book sales in the United States as of mid-2010, this is triple the rate in 2009.

So why is moving from paper to pixels such a big deal? Here are just a few of the issues being raised.

O It used to be that once a book was printed, the text would remain unchanged for extended periods. Not so any more. Authors can update their works and almost instantaneously create a new version. Electronic books are far less bound by time and space.

O Print books rely on written words and pictures. Electronic books can expand to include music and other sounds, animation, and movies. The possible outcome is less traditional reading.

O New technologies make it simpler and cheaper to produce and distribute books, both electronic and hard copy. Control of the editing and publication process is now more diffuse. The result may be far more publications.

O With so many new kinds of reading sites such as blogs and wikis, de-

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

mand for traditional length books may decline. On the other hand, the convenience of electronic readers may encourage people to read more.

O Some say that increased technology has made information more accessible, others that technology has benefitted those with more resources. The equity question has yet to be resolved.

O We simply do not know whether electronic reading has the same cognitive impact as reading from paper.

And what about America’s 122,000 libraries?

What will happen to these? Just look at the traffic at one major university library, Kansas University: seven locations, more than 1.5 million annual visits (equivalent of 58 visits per student), 300,000 items checked out, 3 million online articles accessed, 4 million volumes housed and home to irreplaceable book collections including comprehensive first edition collections of James Joyce and William Butler Yeats.

Current sales show that we have a ways to go before paper books and traditional libraries become obsolete. But we know that the future of books, as with so many other parts of our modern world, is in a state of rapid transition. And while we must embrace the future, until we are sure of the alternatives and their consequences, the old kind of reading may be one of those areas that needs to be preserved.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for YEARS April 14, 1912: AGO “About a IN 1912 month ago Herbert Maxstead was released from the county jail where he had been serving a sentence for assault. Yesterday he was again taken into custody, having broken his parole according to the county attorney. But ‘Duke’ didn’t like the county jail as a residence and this noon left without the formality of notifying the sheriff of his intentions. He is still at large and according to last reports was disappearing at a rapid rate in the direction of Eudora. Maxstead was enrolled in the rock pile gang this morning and served just a half day before taking his departure..”

Court, class still home to ex-pro Thomas

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD

Equal footing

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University shooting guard Billy Thomas, who played for three NBA teams in a 12-year professional basketball career, sought out upcoming NBA lottery pick Thomas Robinson on Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

“The first thing I did is congratulate him on a great season, great career and told him that team (2011-12 Jayhawks) made everybody who played at KU before them extremely proud,” said the 36-year-old Thomas, who just completed his second year as head coach at The Barstow School in Kansas City, Mo. He’s been helping out at Bill Self’s fantasy camp for 35- to 60-year-olds, which runs through Sunday.

“I’m ext r e m e l y proud of the way they fought,” added the 6-foot5 Thomas, who swished a pair of threes during Thurs- Thomas day’s campopening scrimmage. “The statement they made as a team as far as being tough and grinding it out and finding ways to win ... where, as a younger team in the same season, they lost those games early on.”

Led by consensus AllAmerican Robinson, the Jayhawks rolled to a 32-7 record, good enough for an eighthstraight Big 12 title and runner-up finish to Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament.

“He is extremely imposing physically,” Thomas said of the 6-10, 240-pound Robinson. “He is very skilled. He should be a top-three, -four pick. Ultimately I think he can be a guy that has a nice career in the NBA — whether it’s as a perennial starter, that’s to be determined,” Thomas added. “With his work ethic and willingness

‘Barrier Breakers’ scoring evens field for FSHS, LHS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

At a typical track meet, winning an event carries a lot of weight. There’s a gold medal, big points for the winner’s team and the sense that a first-place finish is far more important than a good mark that doesn’t quite cut it in the medal or points departments.

Free State High’s Barrier Breakers meet Friday threw all of those track traditions to the northeast Kansas evening wind.

The idea for altering the scoring format first came to Firebirds coach Steve Heffernan last season after a large number of FSHS boys runners broke the five-minute mark in the 1,600-meter run and he wished there had been a way for all of them to gain recognition for that accomplishment.

Using that as a jumping off point, Heffernan hatched the idea for the barrier breakers meet. A time or distance was established for each track and field event and any athlete who eclipsed that mark earned both a medal and one point for his or her team. Instead of a team receiving 10 points for a first-place finish, it got one — the same amount it received for second, third, fourth or any other place (even 13th or 14th) that beat the established barrier. (Typically, a team gets eight points for second, six for third, five for fourth, four for fifth, three for sixth, two for seventh and one for eighth.)

At the end of the night, the barrier breakers for each school — girls and boys combined — were tallied, and Olathe East dominated the inventive meet, earning 87 points. Free State finished

CLEVELAND 8, KANSAS CITY 3

Hochevar, Royals done early in home opener KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Luke Hochevar never thought his left ankle was broken, even if that possibility did occur to Royals manager Ned Yost.

“I don’t think much was going through my mind,” Hochevar said, “other than taking the pain away. That’s as solid as I’ve ever been hit. That sound was echoing through my body.”

Echoed through Kauffman Stadium, too.

Hochevar was slammed for seven runs in the first inning Friday, then knocked right out of the game when Carlos Santana lined a pitch off his lower leg in the fourth. It was an altogether miserable afternoon for Kansas City, which lost 8-3 to the Cleveland Indians in its home opener.

“When it hit him, I was real nervous. It got him solid,” said Yost, who joined trainer Nick Kenney in helping Hochevar off the field. “I had some fears there it might have fractured his leg, but the X-rays came up negative.

“

When you’re pitching on the road in the other team’s home opener, there’s going to be a lot of buzz. To sort of silence them right away, you can’t ask for more.”

— Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Derek Lowe He’s very sore, but at least it’s not broken.”

Yost said he’s not sure whether Hochevar will be able to make his next start.

“We’ll see,” he said. “It’s five days away.”

Michael Brantley had a pair of hits in the opening inning, and Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Kipnis each drove in a pair of runs as the Indians scored more times than they had in any of their first five games. Asdrubal Cabrera added a solo homer in the ninth for good measure.

The seven runs allowed by Hochevar (1-1) in the first inning matched the number of runs that Kansas City start-

ers had given up during a six-game road trip to begin the season.

“They came out of the gate swinging, a lot of first-pitch hits,” Hochevar said. “After that first inning, we made an adjustment in our game plan, and the results were better.

It was more their aggressiveness than a bad game plan.”

Derek Lowe (2-0) allowed three runs and 11 hits in 6 2-3 innings for Cleveland.

The 38-year-old right-hander routinely worked out of trouble, getting help from a pair of double plays that kept Kansas City from mounting much of a comeback.

“When you’re pitching on the road in the other team’s home opener, there’s going to be a lot of buzz,” Lowe said. “To sort of silence them right away, you can’t ask for more.”

Petrino won’t appeal; aide on leave FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. (AP) — Arkansas put the former mistress of Bobby Petrino on paid leave Friday and disclosed that she used a $20,000 “gift� from the disgraced former coach to buy a car in her first week on the job.

University spokesman Steve Voorhies said Jessica Dorrell, a 25-year-old football department employee, had been placed on leave but declined further comment, calling it a private personnel issue.

Dorrell, a former Arkansas volleyball player, was a Razorback Foundation fundraiser before she was hired as a student-athlete development coordinator by Petrino on March 28 at an annual salary of $55,735.

She has not returned repeated calls seeking comment.

The move came as Petrino said he would not appeal his fir-

ing and seek any of the $18 million buyout that was part of his contract. His agent, Russ Campbell, sent an email to athletic director Jeff Long late Thursday saying Petrino had accepted “responsibility for the events that led to the university’s decision to terminate his contract.� “Coach Petrino and his family wish nothing but the best for both the Razorback football program and University of Arkansas,� Campbell wrote.

Petrino had the option to appeal as part of the sevenyear contract he agreed to in December 2010. The contract was for more than $3.5 million annually and carried the $18 million mutual buyout clause in 2011 and 2012. The amount dropped over the life of the contract, falling to as little as $3.9 million in 2017.

Long said that Petrino was fired for cause, meaning the coach was not owed anything.

The 51-year-old Petrino was fired for failing to disclose his relationship with Dorrell before she was hired, as required by conflict of interest rules at the school. The affair became public only after the two went for a motorcycle ride April 1 and skidded off the road, putting Petrino in the hospital and resulting in

a police report that contained her identity.

Long has said the two were in a relationship for a “significant� amount of time, and phone records show they exchanged more than 4,300 text messages and nearly 300 phone calls over the past seven months, possibly including photo and video content. The termination letter Long sent to Petrino was released by the school Friday and it had more specifics. “(Y)ou deliberately failed to tell me that you had engaged in an extramarital affair with Ms. Dorrell over a period of several months leading up to your recommendation to hire her,�

Long wrote. “If you had been forthcoming with me about the true nature of your relationship, I would not have approved the hiring.�

By David Haugh Chicago Tribune

Because Chicago needed an interpreter to understand Ozzie Guillen’s mea culpa news conference in Miami, I offer a quickie local translation for the entire saga: Thank goodness he’s gone.

The Marlins got exactly what they paid for: $2.5 million a year worth of distractions that have absolutely nothing to do with baseball. I wonder if they could hear the laughter from the South Side of Chicago in South Florida.

Guillen can be a terrific manager when focused but, as the White Sox found out the hard way, once he feels empowered and invincible, that happens as frequently as he says no comment. It probably took Guillen the last five years to wear out his welcome in Chicago. In Miami, it took five games. Is there a Cuban term for baseball annulment?

The man who was on “bended knees� begging for forgiveness for offending the Cuban-American community should hit the floor again to give thanks he still has a job. A five-game suspension from the Marlins revealed team owner Jeffrey Loria as a charitable soul. Loria could have been justified in firing Guillen given how much of a potential marketing disaster he has become.

In a sports world where perception trumps reality, the new face of the Marlins’ franchise just became a symbol of pro-Castroism for a baseball team that plays in Miami’s Little Havana.

In terms of insensitivity, tell me how Guillen saying on Time’s website that, “I love Fidel Castro,� differed from late Reds owner Marge Schott saying in 1996 that Adolf Hitler, “was good in the beginning but went too far.� Castro is to Cuba what Hitler is to Germany. Guillen got a five-game suspension and an admonishment from Commissioner Bud Selig - so far. Schott received a two-year ban.

Now a contrite Guillen has sworn never to talk politics again. I couldn’t have been the only person in Chicago rolling his eyes. It was 82 degrees Tuesday in Miami, but a snow job gripped the city; the 2012 blizzard of Oz. Guillen vowed to talk less and only needed 60 minutes to say so. He kept referring to how difficult the ordeal had been on his family and I don’t doubt that. Thing is, nobody cared. The ordeal he created caused much more pain for Cuban-Americans trying to grasp why a baseball manager would show such ignorance by bringing up Castro in the first place.

Sorry, Miami. Ozzie’s your problem now. And no matter what you heard Tuesday, I doubt it was his last embarrassing apology.

and Cabrera’s double and Choo’s two-run single put an early jolt in the Indians’ struggling offense.

Shelley Duncan and Casey Kotchman added back-to-back singles later in the first inning, and Kipnis brought in both with a shot to center that Jarrod Dyson — called up to replace the injured Lorenzo Cain — misjudged in the wind as he approached the warning track.

“The wind just kept it away from me, but I should have had it,” Dyson

said. “That’s on me. I’ve made that play numerous times. I should have made it today.”

Brantley’s RBI double in his second at-bat of the inning gave Cleveland a 7-0 lead.

The Royals got a run back in the first on three straight hits, including Eric Hosmer’s single, but Billy Butler’s double-play grounder and Alex Gordon’s strikeout ended the threat.

Kansas City got two more in the fourth on a single by Gordon and a shot into the gap in right

by Mike Moustakas, but he was left stranded when Humberto Quintero flied out.

No. 2 Aggies blank Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During the hours leading up to what Kansas University pitcher Frank Duncan dubbed the biggest start of his career, the music that flowed through the sophomore’s iPod featured titles such as “Start the Commotion” and “Push the Tempo.”

It would only make sense, then, if Duncan had taken the mound with a little extra adrenaline for the series opener against No. 2 Texas A&M at Hoglund Ballpark.

Didn’t happen.

Instead, Duncan was the same cool, calm and collected starter that his teammates have come to count on, and for three innings of KU’s 8-0 loss to the Aggies, he dominated.

“He was masterful,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “I was really pleased. He’s picked it up and become a legit Friday night starter. It took one of the best pitchers in America to beat him tonight.”

Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, who fell to 1222 on the season and 2-8 in Big 12 play, that’s exactly what they faced. In running his record to 5-0, A&M’s Michael Wacha pitched a complete game, struck out six, walked none and gave up just four hits — all singles — to the punchless KU lineup.

“He’s a dominant guy, a first-round pick, top 10 for sure,” said KU’s Tucker Tharp, who went 2-for4 against the junior. “He pounded the zone with

Added Price of Wacha: “He can really pitch.”

Early on, the Jayhawks found some success against Wacha, as they hit a few balls hard and tried to be physical at the plate.

One blast, a deep drive to left field by designated hitter Alex DeLeon in the fourth inning had everyone in the KU dugout thinking about playing

Notre Dame LB to transfer to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The multi-week speculation surrounding whether Notre Dame linebacker Anthony McDonald would transfer to Kansas University turned official Friday.

M c Donald, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound McDonald middle linebacker becomes the latest graduate to pledge his services to the Jayhawks, joining former Notre Dame teammates Dayne Crist and Mike Ragone and former Nebraska defensive lineman Josh Williams.

On signing day, back in February, KU coach Charlie Weis said he expected more fifth-year transfers to join his team. He also discussed why he was so keen on adding them.

“I’m going to be open to that every year and I’m going to tell you why,”

Thomas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

to become better, I definitely think he can be a starter.”

Thomas appears to be in the early stages of what figures to be a long career in coaching. His first two Barstow teams have blazed to records of 18-7 and 19-6.

“It’s been great. The kids have been hungry to learn basketball,” Thomas said, praising his predecessor, former KU guard Jeff Boschee, whose three Barstow teams went 6414. “For both of us, they played extremely hard and tried to do what we try to get them to do. Next year, those kids will know my way of thinking. It

with a lead. But the ball hung up and A&M left fielder Brandon Wood hauled it in. An inning later, A&M leadoff hitter Mikey Reynolds parked a two-seam fastball that rode back over the plate over the left-field fence for a three-run home run that gave the Aggies a commanding 4-0 lead. “(DeLeon’s) stayed in the ballpark, their kids’ got out and that was the difference in the ballgame,” Price said.

said Duncan, who fell to 3-5. “These games aren’t going to make or break you. There was one pitch I’d like to take back, that’s for sure. But my last three starts, including tonight, I feel like I’ve been doing a better job. Every start you gotta keep getting better.”

With the game out of reach, Price went to his bullpen with one out in the eighth. At the time, Duncan had thrown 101 pitches, struck out six, walked four and given up four earned runs. More important than any of his statistics was the fact that he walked off the mound with more confidence than he had when the game began.

“I feel like I can go out there and beat anyone on Friday night,” Duncan said. “Especially here at Hoglund Ballpark. I love throwing here.”

Added KU catcher James Stanfield of Duncan: “He can’t be thinking too hard on himself right now. They’re No. 2 in the nation, and he shut down their offense for a good portion of that game. He’s just gotta take that and build on it.”

KU and A&M will resume the series at 1 p.m. today with a game that was originally scheduled for 6 p.m. but was moved up because of the threat of severe weather.

The pitch to Reynolds was one of the few bad balls that Duncan threw all night. But defensive lapses behind him — KU committed a season-high four errors — and no pop at the plate from the KU offense wasted Duncan’s strong effort. That was not the way he saw it after the game, though.

Texas A&M 8, Kansas 0 “One of the biggest Texas A&M 000 130 040 - 8 11 0 000 000 000 - 0 4 4 things you have to do as a Kansas W — Michael Wacha, 5-0.

BRIEFLY Lions baseball beats SM East PRAIRIE VILLAGE — Lawrence High scored six runs in the sixth inning to take the lead and win, 9-4, at Shawnee Mission East on Friday.

SM East took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning against Lawrence pitcher Garrett Cleavinger, but after Lawrence’s six-run sixth inning, Cleavinger still got the win to move to 3-1 on the season.

Shane Willoughby hit 3-for-4 at the plate and scored two runs. CJ Stuever batted 2-for-4, as did Matt Sutliffe. Sutliffe also batted in two runs, and Troy Willoughby scored two runs. Jake Vinoverski went 2-for-3 batting.

Weis said. “For every one of these fifth-years I bring in, they’re also going out.

So they don’t cost me a potential recruit because you have a guy who has some experience coming to play without affecting your numbers in recruiting at all.”

McDonald, who was a high school teammate of Crist’s in California, will graduate from Notre Dame in May and will join Weis’ new program in June.

During his four years at Notre Dame, McDonald played in 28 games, including all 12 games in 2009 and 11 more during 2010.

The addition of McDonald brings the total number of commitments in KU’s most recent recruiting class to 25. The Jayhawks have added five Div. I transfers, nine junior college transfers and 11 prep players.

McDonald is the third linebacker in the class, joining Schyler Miles, of Berkley Prep in Tampa, Fla., and Courtney Arnick, of Carter High in Dallas.

“I thought it was a cool idea, because it lets so many people have the opportunity to score for their team, and so many people from our team were able to compete today,” Harmon-Thomas said.

The athletes she spoke to from O-East, LHS, Shawnee Mission North, Topeka West and Bishop Miege agreed.

“Everyone loves it,” Harmon-Thomas related.

Free State sophomore Scout Wiebe produced the best throw in the javelin (118 feet), finishing just ahead of Lawrence’s Monica Howard (112-11).

Taking first for the Free State boys were Deshawn Berndt, who won the 200-meter dash, and Kain Anderson, who raced to first in both the 1,600 and the 3,200.

The LHS boys, meanwhile, had the best barrier-breaking marks in four events: Manny Romero won the javelin (163-11), Blake Hocking produced the top marks in shot put (62-2) and discus (151-5) and Philip Gabler won the long jump (21-1.5).

Athletes from both schools didn’t seem to mind being on equal foot-

ing with their barrierbreaking competitors.

Even though Hocking’s best throws in shot and discus made the same amount of difference in the final points as a fifthplace shot put from teammate James Kenney or a seventh-place discus throw from fellow Lion Jeffrey Moses, Hocking enjoyed the meet’s different feel.

“It’s more of a teambuilder,” Hocking said.

Plus, LHS had a larger turnout than usual for its throwers because of the format.

“I had a little more of a fan group today,” Hocking said with a grin. “It was nice.”

Even a new Free State record in the 200-meter dash (21.42) by Berndt had as much bearing on the meet as a ninth-place finish by his teammate Reuben Wesley in the 110-meter hurdles. That didn’t matter to the new FSHS record-holder.

“I liked the fact that no matter what, you just had to run a certain time and you got a medal for it,” Berndt said, adding athletes weren’t as worried about the times of oppo-

nents in the lanes next to them.

In the boys long jump, 14 athletes broke the established barrier of 18-6, including Lawrence’s Steven Hill, Eric Parrish and Robert Lyan, and Free State’s Kyle Freese.

In the girls 800, 17 runners finished below the 2:40 barrier. Among them were Free State’s Bailey Sullivan (third), Molly McCord, Lynn Robinson and Logan Hassig, as well as the Lions’ Leah Gabler (fourth), Riley Shook, Michala Ruder and Brooke Braman.

won’t be a situation where I have to sell some seniors and juniors on what I believe in. They know what to expect.”

Like Boschee, who is an assistant coach at Missouri Southern, Thomas has goals of someday coaching college ball.

He’s taken a big step in that regard by completing work toward his degree in African American Studies.

Thomas will graduate in May, which will make his family members in Shreveport, La., mighty proud.

“I knew I would do it for all the people involved in my life (he and wife Raquel have a son, Zion, 3, and daughter Leyland, 1) and for myself,” Thomas said. “To have scrapped and clawed to reach my goals athletically, but never lose sight of getting my

degree ... it means a lot to the people pushing me toward that. It means more to me because nobody else in my family has a college degree. Coming from my neighborhood and to be able to be a college graduate of a school this prestigious ... I’ve been fortunate to accomplish this with the help of a lot of people including Wayne Walden, Paul Buskirk, Scott Ward (academic advisors at KU; Walden is now at North Carolina). Those type of people — great people — continue to help me chase this thing down.”

Ward, KU’s associate athletic director/academic and career counseling, said Thomas provides a great example for former athletes who seek their college degree while also pursuing pro careers.

“With Billy, it’s his consistent effort over the years to finish a class here and there and continually working on it while he was still playing and believing someday — whether he’s 35 or 25 years old — that he’ll get his degree,” Ward said. “I think Billy would tell you it’s a lot easier to finish your degree while you are here the first time. Ask anybody. For an athlete or non-athlete to come back in their 30s and finish ... it’s a challenge. It’s one Billy was up to. This is coach’s (Bill Self) philosophy across the board ... that guys who leave or leave early (for pros) can finish their schoolwork, and we do the best we can to assist them.”

Thomas said he won’t walk down Campanile Hill in May. He prefers

to be recognized next December or even in May of 2013.

“My family wants me to go through the whole shebang,” he said with a laugh, “but because I complete my work in May, I will wait until maybe December to walk for the finality of it, make sure the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed, make sure everything is squared away. It will be a big day,” he added.

Recruiting: Tony Parker, a 6-9 center from Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga., told the Charlotte Observer he will choose a school during a ceremony Thursday at his high school. He has a final list of KU, Duke, Georgia, UCLA, Ohio State, Georgetown and Memphis. He plans on cutting

his list to five, then announcing his choice by donning a hat of the winning school.

“Hopefully, I chop (the list) down because I have to pay 30 dollars a hat,” Parker told the paper. The Atlanta JournalConstitution, meanwhile, reports that the country’s No. 27-ranked player is considering making return trips to several of his finalists before rendering his decision.

“I just think he’s trying to get to a clear place in his mind where he wants to go,” Miller Grove coach Sharman White told the Journal-Constitution. “It’s a really tough position to be in, and I don’t envy him one bit. All things considered, he’s handling it very well and trying to figure out what’s best for him.”

run and tied Ken Griffey Jr. for fifth place on the career list, and Hiroki Kuroda pitched effectively in his pinstripes debut as New York beat Los Angeles in the Yankees’ 110th home opener.

Nick Swisher lined a three-run double off Ervin Santana (0-2) in the first inning soon after recently retired teammate Jorge Posada threw out the ceremonial first pitch and hugged all his old pals.

Curtis Granderson added a Yankee Stadiumfriendly homer. New York has won four in a row overall and 14 of its last 15 home openers.

Albert Pujols singled in four at-bats. The slumping Angels slugger is 6 for 27 (.222) with no home runs this season. Los Angeles has lost three straight.

Rodriguez came in hitting just .174 (4 for 23) without a homer or RBI in the first six games, but got three hits.

Rodriguez singled in the first and lined the first pitch of the third into the netting over monument park in straightaway center field, tying him with Griffey, his former teammate in Seattle. Rodriguez trails Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714) and Willie Mays (660) on the career list.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Giants’ Cain one-hits Pirates The Associated Press

Giants 5, Pirates 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain threw a one-hitter, allowing only a single by Pittsburgh pitcher James McDonald in the sixth inning during a near-perfect performance as San Francisco beat the Pirates.

Cain struck out 11 and permitted just a single runner. McDonald, a career .069 hitter coming into the game, hit a sharp single to left field with two outs in the sixth inning.

Fans in the sellout crowd of 41,138 jumped to their feet to give Cain a warm ovation. Cain (1-0) pitched his third career one-hitter, his fifth shutout and his 14th complete game.

Aubrey Huff homered as the Giants returned from a rough road trip.

Buster Posey hit an RBI double in his first regularseason game at AT&T since his season-ending collision at the plate with the Marlins’ Scott Cousins last May 25.

The Giants celebrated their 1962 World Series team.

Cain, who has long been the team’s hard-luck loser because of a lack of run support, went the distance in throwing 106 pitches. Closer Brian Wilson wasn’t available after he worked a 32-pitch ninth inning a day earlier in a 4-2 win at Colorado.

ABC, TCM revisit the Titanic ABC presents “Titanic” (7 p.m.

Saturday, concludes Sunday), a lush, expensive four-hour miniseries. Written by Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”) and starring Linus Roache (“Law and Order”) and Geraldine Somerville (“Harry Potter” franchise), “Titanic” continues Fellowes’ penchant for exploring England’s social strata.

And what’s a better setting than an ocean liner divided into first, second and steerage classes?

A passably entertaining combination of “Downton” and James Cameron’s “Titanic,” it’s hardly “A Night to Remember” (9 p.m.

Saturday, TCM). ABC’s “Titanic” lacks the nuanced intimacy of “Downton” and its attention to minute period details.

At the same time, it’s highfalutin enough to avoid the soap opera obviousness of the soggy 1997 saga of Jack and Rose.

At best, this “Titanic” follows Cameron’s style, using the historic tragedy to show off the bells and whistles of digital imagery. It doesn’t exactly capsize, but I’m not sure how many will stick around to see who makes it to the lifeboats.

Tonight’s other highlights

The adventures of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” continue on “The Legend of Korra” (10 a.m., Nickelodeon).

NASCAR action at the Samsung Mobile 500 (6 p.m., Fox).

Jeff Bridges narrates “Hunger Hits Home” (7 p.m., Food), a look at malnutrition in America.

The two-part miniseries “The Sinking of the Laconia” (9 p.m., Ovation) recalls the sinking of a British troopship by a German U-boat in World War II.

Josh Brolin hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Gotye.

Cult choice Like “Atonement,” the 1948 drama “The Fallen Idol” (7 p.m.

Saturday, TCM) focuses on the shaky testimony of a disillusioned child.

Many women cannot take hormone replacement. I have found some relief in yoga, breathing techniques and mindful meditation. I suggest the wife find a room she can call her own and keep it at a temperature that is comfortable for her.

This time is a natural progression in women’s lives and should be embraced. I hope her journey is a short one.

For further information, contact the Centers for Disease Control toxicology division in Atlanta.

Florida: I’ve been in that gentleman’s shoes for a number of years and had the same complaint.

Romney: Obama wants to erode rights of gun owners

By Charles Babington Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The presidential campaign briefly veered from the emotional Mommy Wars on Friday to the back-burner issue of gun rights, with Mitt Romney telling the National Rifle Association that President Barack Obama is not protecting gun owners — even though the topic has rarely arisen during his time in office.

Without offering details, Romney said that Obama would like to erode gun owners’ rights.

“We need a president who will enforce current laws, not create new ones that only serve to burden lawful gun owners,” Romney told thousands of NRA members in St. Louis for their annual convention. “President Obama has not. I will.”

Obama has said relatively little about firearms, disappointing gun-control groups. Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said the president’s record “makes clear the he supports and respects the Second Amendment, and we’ll fight back against any attempts to mislead voters.”

The gathering of gun enthusiasts comes as Romney, the presumptive GOP nominee, is trying to woo conservative groups to consolidate his base after fending off challengers on his right. His relationship with gun owner groups is uneasy.

Running for the Senate in 1994, Romney said: “I don’t line up with the NRA.” A decade later he became a lifetime NRA member.

The NRA convention is a must-do for any Republican candidate. But this week it interrupted a new campaign narrative that Romney would like to extend: the view that top

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks at the National Rifle Association convention Friday in St. Louis.

Gingrich: Everyone deserves gun rights ST. LOUIS — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says the United Nations should adopt a treaty giving everyone on the planet the right to bear firearms.

The GOP presidential candidate told the National Rifle Association convention Friday in St. Louis that the group has been too timid in promoting gun rights.

Gingrich said there would be fewer women raped, children killed and villages destroyed if everyone had the right to carry a gun.

Democrats look down on stay-at-home moms.

Romney used the NRA setting, in the domed arena where the St. Louis Rams play football, to make his first public comments on the topic. He brought a central player and key supporter: his wife, Ann, who stayed home to raise their five sons.

Democratic activist Hilary Rosen set off the tempest Wednesday by telling

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Pressuring Mitt Romney on taxes, President Barack Obama’s campaign rereleased more than a decade of tax records Friday, a political maneuver designed to pressure the Republican presidential candidate to divulge tax records beyond two years and to stop “hiding” details of his huge personal wealth.

Obama’s tax return for last year showed that he and his wife paid $162,074 in federal taxes on $789,674 in adjusted gross income, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent.

Romney’s campaign has projected he will pay more than $6.2 million in taxes on $45 million in income in 2010 and 2011. Romney is expected to pay 15.4 percent in federal taxes for 2011.

Bank reports point to healing housing market

By Christina Rexrode and Pallavi Gogoi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Earnings reports from two major banks Friday painted a picture of a healing housing market, with more Americans taking out mortgages, paying them on time and taking advantage of low interest rates to refinance.

At JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in the United States, income from new home loans set a record from January through March. The bank issued 6 percent more mortgages than a year ago and got 33 percent more applications.

Wells Fargo, which issues the most home loans, booked the most mortgage fees since 2009. It issued 54 percent more mortgages than a year ago and took 84 percent more applications.

A healthier housing market is welcome news.

Housing has been the biggest drag on the economic recovery, while other segments, such as manufacturing and consumer spending, have held up or grown.

Home prices are still falling, though more slowly than in the past several years, and more than half a million American homes were in the foreclosure process at the end of March, according to RealtyTrac.

Still, stronger mortgage business helped JPMorgan and Wells Fargo beat

Wall Street expectations for first-quarter earnings.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon boasted that the bank had originated 200,000 mortgages in the quarter.

Two key factors helped:

The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage dropped to 3.87 percent in February, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. Rates have stayed low: This week, the average is 3.88 percent.

Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf said the housing market is close to a “tipping point” at which it can take off.

“When you have the dynamics of higher rental rates and lower home values at great financing rates, there’s a point in time where the market’s going to clear and you’re going to see improvement,” Stumpf said.

Some markets, he said, like Texas, Northern California and Washington, D.C., have already reached that point.

Job growth in January and February was some of the strongest since the Great Recession, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 8.2 percent, the lowest since January 2009.

At Wells Fargo, 15 percent of mortgage applications came from the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program, which helps Americans who owe more than their property is worth get more affordable loans.

CNN that Ann Romney never worked a day in her life. The ensuing uproar knocked Democrats off their message that Republicans are insufficiently concerned about women’s rights, including access to birth control.

In St. Louis, Mitt Romney began his 24-minute speech by calling his wife “a hero” and “my sweetheart,” adding: “I happen to believe all moms are working moms.”

Ann Romney praised working fathers as well as mothers, then left the stage to her husband and his appeal to the gunrights group.

Mitt Romney told the group: “We need a president who will stand up for the rights of hunters, sportsmen, and those seeking to protect their homes and their families. President Obama has not; I will.”

Asked for details to support the claims, Romney’s campaign said Obama has appointed judges, including Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, who have supported moves such as placing temporary limits on importing semiautomatic assault weapons.
