KU Hospital to resume heart transplants

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University Hospital announced on Monday its intention to resume heart transplants, re-establishing a program that was shut down in 1995.

High: 83

Program was shut down in 1995 after investigations into practices The move is sparked by a $1.5 million donation from Dr. William Reed, chairman of the hospital’s department of cardiovascular diseases, and his wife, Mary Reed.

“Today, we are unable to

provide the full continuum of care for our patients,” said Bob Page, KU Hospital’s president and CEO, saying that 44 patients had to go to other programs last year because KU couldn’t perform

heart transplants.

“It’s the natural evolution of our program,” he said. “It’s the logical next step for us.”

According to media reports, the hospital shut down its transplant program in

1995 after performing no transplants from May 1994 to March 1995 while turning away every donor heart.

During that time, the hospital continued to admit patients Please see HEART, page 2A

KINDERGARTNERS AINSLEY WEISS AND ETHAN HARPER look through a book during class Monday. The Lawrence school board voted to extend the full-day kindergarten program to the remaining four schools that don’t have it: Sunset Hill, Deerfield, Quail Run and Langston Hughes.

Board also votes to reduce class sizes and hire teachers

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Members of the Lawrence School Board found themselves in a position they hadn’t been in for several years Monday night.

In three consecutive motions, they added nearly $2 million worth of programs and teachers back into the budget.

In unanimous decisions, the school board voted to:

Extend the full-day kindergarten program to the final four elementary schools in the district that didn’t already have the all-day program in place. The

The future for residents at the troubled Riverview Trailer Park remains cloudy, but the property owner is now vowing to do his best to bring the area up to code to stop the city from closing the entire North Lawrence mobile home park.

“Mr. Warren has made a special trip from California and is here working on the park now,” said Darryl Graves, a Lawrence attorney who is representing the park’s owner, George L. Warren, a California landlord. “He is taking the issue very seriously.”

Earlier this month, the city declared 12 of the 23 mobile homes in the park at 827 Walnut St. unfit for habitation. City officials also said at the time that the entire park may be closed because its mobile home park license had lapsed. City inspectors indicated numerous improvements to the property would have to be made before the park could be issued a new license.

On Monday, Chad Sublet, an assistant city attorney, confirmed the city has not declared any more mobile homes at the park unfit for habitation. He said the city had entered discussions with Warren and his attorney but still was intent on getting the property cleaned up before issuing a new license.

“What I can tell you is we’re in the process of enforcing our ordinances,” Sublet said. “He doesn’t have a license to operate a trailer park, and we’re in the process of determining our options for enforcement.”

Graves said he could not rule out that other families would have to move from the park.

“We’ll just work with the city,” Graves said. “Those trailers that they deem worthy of keeping, we’ll keep, and the ones that they say need to be removed, we’ll get rid of.”

In mid-April, city inspectors said six households had been ordered to move from the trailer park. Six of the 12 units declared unfit for Please see HOMES, page 2A

Pauline Ann Bysom Pauline Ann Bysom, 89, of Lawrence, passed away April 22 at Pioneer Ridge Health Center. She was comforted in her final days by family and friends.

Pauline was born November 2, 1922, in Junction City, Kan., the daughter of William and Alice Moore. She is survived by her husband of 69 years, Clyde Bysom; daughter, Terri Bysom Stringer; sisters, Nancy Boozer and Virginia Tucker; brother, Robert Moore; three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by sisters Mary Jane and Margaret.

A graduate of Junction City High School and the University of Kansas, Pauline taught Common Learnings for 25 years at Central Junior High School in Lawrence.

to the program but did not tell those patients the hospital wasn’t accepting new hearts. The program was shut down after internal and external investigations into the matter.

KU Hospital announced it was going to re-establish the program in 2000 after hiring several doctors from St. Luke’s Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., to help with the effort. It resumed openheart surgeries and expanded heart procedures and technology.

But, in 2003, it indefinitely postponed plans to resume transplants, citing the strength of its existing heart surgery program and its strained financial resources, according to reports from the time.

Since then, the hospital has enjoyed high levels of success, including record patient volume and increasing operating budgets, and it has overseen expansions and renovations to its facilities.

“We’re just a totally different organization today,” Page said. “There’s no comparison between who we are now and who we were in the mid-’90s.”

KU Hospital would become the second hospital in the Kansas City area to perform heart transplants, joining St. Luke’s.

It would be the only such program in Kansas, a fact welcomed by other state hospital leaders.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Pauline’s memory to Lawrence Humane Society, and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

“Unfortunately, there really isn’t an immediate solution available,” said Shannon Oury, executive director of the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority.

Oury said her organization’s waiting lists for public housing range from six to 15 months. She said for the past two years the authority was operating an emergency housing assistance program. But it was funded through federal stimulus dollars, and the last of the $700,000 in funding was spent in February.

Oury said she can envision that residents of the mobile home park are struggling to come up with the necessary down payments, such as security and utility deposits, needed to secure a new place.

“It has been difficult knowing that we’ve had a program that has been successful in helping with those type of situations, and then to have it end and have nothing to replace it,” Oury said.

A group of area nonprofits does operate the Emergency Services Council, which provides rental and utility assistance for people facing eviction. But the program’s guidelines allow for no more than $200 worth of assistance to

be provided to any one household, and even with that the council is only able to fund about 10 percent of the requests it receives each month, said Eric Myser, human services director for the Ballard Community Center.

Myser, who is part of the council in addition to representatives from Douglas County Senior Services, The Salvation Army and ECKAN, said he is encouraging people evicted from the trailer park to apply for help from the council. But he said they also may need to seek help from area churches, which sometimes have emergency relief funds.

“I don’t know if we will have anything to solve their immediate needs,” Myser said, “but I know we’ll try to help.”

tion if redistricting issues aren’t resolved quickly. He said the state also may face legal costs if residents sue because there’s no agreement on new congressional districts.

Legislators return Wednesday from their annual spring break, and the session wrap-up could last until mid-May. But Kobach said problems will arise if new district boundaries aren’t approved by May 10, which is why he held a news conference — to “sound the alarm bell.”

“The clock is ticking, and they have to act quickly when they come back into session,” he said.

“This is a real potential for crisis here.”

Legislators must redraw their districts and the state’s four congressional districts to account for shifts in population over the past decade.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Tope-

ka Democrat, said legislators agree that they need to move quickly, and he’s hoping that they will resolve redistricting issues next week.

“Kobach has entered the process here at a fairly late date,” Hensley said.

“If he was at all concerned about us dragging our feet, he probably should have made a statement, you know, over a month ago.”

Kansas law says that if they don’t complete redistricting by May 10, the candidate filing deadline will be postponed from June 1 to June 11.

Even if legislators finish their work on time, the state constitution gives the attorney general and the Supreme Court up to 45 days, until June 24, to review plans for new state House and Senate districts.

Kobach noted that if the primary election date remains Aug. 7 as scheduled, federal law will require Kansas to distribute ballots to military personnel

by June 23. Kobach said county election officials will need at least a week of

preparation ahead of that deadline.

Some legislators already are anticipating a need to postpone the primary. The House Appropriations Committee agreed last week to sponsor a bill delaying the election until Aug. 28 if new political boundaries aren’t set by May 15.

But Kobach doesn’t like the idea, saying it’s likely to confuse candidates and voters.

“Moving it at the last minute, as a last-ditch resort to avoid violating federal law, would be problematic,” he said. “Logistically, it would be difficult, and I just think, democratically, it’s difficult for people running for office and for constituents.”

In a letter to Brownback and legislative leaders, Schmidt raised the possibility that the state would be forced to postpone its primary. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter on Monday. The letter, dated Friday, also notes that if there’s no agreement on congressional districts, lawsuits are likely.

One plan shrinks; another grows

Resident accused of assault with chain saw A 30-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of threatening another man with a chain saw during an argument.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the disturbance occurred about 2 a.m. Sunday at an apartment in the 1300 block of Michigan Way, but police were not notified until about 12 hours later.

McKinley said witnesses alleged that the suspect, Ryan Shelby Harjo, was angry that the victim would not immediately leave the apartment so the suspect used a chain saw to scare the man. He did eventually leave the apartment. After officers conducted interviews later Sunday, they arrested Harjo on an aggravated assault charge, and Douglas County prosecutors filed a formal aggravated assault charge against him Monday afternoon.

Prosecutors said he had no criminal history. Pro-tem Judge James George agreed to set his bond at $1,000 cash or surety. He’s due in court again at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Tornado relief efforts enter new phase WICHITA — Relief groups that responded to the April 14 tornado in southwestern Wichita are adjusting their efforts as the recovery enters a new phase.

The United Way says the need for volunteers is declining as debris from damaged and destroyed homes is moved to curbsides. The agency says roads need to remain clear to accommodate heavy trucks collecting the debris.

The American Red Cross said Monday it closed its shelter in Derby after everyone was placed in other housing. The Red Cross ended its food service Sunday after dishing out more than 12,000 meals. The Salvation Army still has a mobile kitchen serving survivors and cleanup crews.

Celebration a reminder of mental health center’s role in community

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Forty-three-year-old Lorraine Cannistra credits Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center for helping put her life back on track and giving her hope for the future.

Cannistra, who has cerebral palsy, said she thought she could handle her mental health challenges on her own. But she couldn’t.

“My world just came crashing down at one point. Eventually, I found my way to Bert Nash, and they helped me navigate what was wrong with what I was doing and gave me the skills to interact with people better,” she said.

She was among 10 community

members who spoke Monday night about Bert Nash’s services during its annual Pioneer Celebration. The event, held at Maceli’s, was attended by about 100 people.

Cannistra said she was diagnosed with depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.

She began receiving Bert Nash services about 12 years ago and currently receives case management once a week.

“I have a whole lot of hope for the future. I’m getting close to being employed part time,” she said. Cannistra has a bachelor’s degree in English and creative

writing and a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling. She hopes to combine the skills and become a grant writer.

“I think the services that I have received at Bert Nash have helped me develop more into the person that I want to be,” she said. “Left to my own vices, I have periods of depression and periods of intense anger and that’s not how I want to be.”

She received a standing ovation.

Patricia Roach Smith, chief operating officer at Bert Nash, said the more people talk about their mental illness, like Cannistra, the better, because talking helps reduce the stigma.

“The more we talk about it, the quicker we get treatment

Seeking a compromise with concerned neighbors, developers have submitted plans to shorten the height of a proposed hotel building at the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

“This all comes from discussions we have had with some city commissioners who have urged us to try to reach a compromise with the neighbors on the building height,” said Bill Fleming, an attorney for the development group led by Lawrence

businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor.

“That has been the main driver on this.”

The development group sent a letter to city officials Monday afternoon providing general details of proposed changes. The letter also asks the City Commission to defer a host of actions related to the project that are on today’s commission agenda.

Among the details provided about the project: O The building on the southeast corner would be three stories on its eastern edge, the edge closest to a historic neighborhood.

That height is unchanged from the last plan presented. The height along the western edge of the building, the part closest to New Hampshire Street, would drop by one story, compared with what previously has been proposed. Much of the western edge would be four stories, the developers contend, while the portion nearest Ninth and New Hampshire would be five stories and would house a top-floor restaurant.

In addition to an approximately 80-room hotel, the building will have groundfloor retail space that developers hope will attract a grocery store. As previously proposed, the building will include two floors of below-ground parking.

O A proposed building at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire would house 90 to

A concept plan submitted to the city estimates the building would Compton be 79 feet tall, making it about 5 feet taller than the Hobbs Taylor Lofts building at Eighth and New Hampshire and about 9 feet shorter than the recently constructed apartment building at 901 N.H. Fleming said Compton had signed a preliminary deal with Black Hills Energy to take over the property at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire. Black Hills Energy would receive Compton’s office complex on North Iowa Street. Fleming cautioned the deal hasn’t yet be finalized, but it would allow for Compton to move the headquarters of his First Management Inc. onto the second floor of the 901 N.H. building, and would clear the way for the construction of the new apartment building. An attempt to reach a spokesman for Black Hills wasn’t immediately successful.

The new building would include room for a bank and commercial space on the ground floor. It also would include two levels of below-ground parking.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD will seek tax-increment financing and the creation of a transportation-development district that will partially reimburse developers for expenses related to the private, belowground parking and public infrastructure expenses related to the project.

Leslie Soden, president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, said her group would be closely reviewing the new plans in the next several days. The new plans for the southeast corner are scheduled to be heard by the city’s Historic Resources Commission at a special meeting on Monday. Plans for the northeast corner haven’t yet been submitted, and likely won’t receive a review from the city for several weeks.

City Manager David Corliss said the developers have been working with city planners for the last several weeks on the southeast corner. He said the city’s historic resources staff is expected to recommend approval of the new plans to the Historic Resources Commission.

If the Historic Resources Commission rejects the plans, the issue can be appealed to the Lawrence City Commission.

“I appreciate the developers’ responses to a number of concerns related to the height of the building,” Corliss said. “I think there are some exciting opportunities for improvements in downtown.”

warned the board that current state funding levels would make it impossible to make the changes permanent ones.

“It really can’t be for more than a couple of years, maybe three if we really, really squeeze things down,” Doll said.

“We can’t sustain this without additional dollars from the Legislature.”

Not all the funding is coming from savings.

Higher Doll poverty rates throughout the district mean schools will receive more dollars from the state for at-risk students.

That money will help the district cover full-day kindergarten at Sunset Hill, Deerfield, Quail Run and Langston Hughes. Those programs will be in place by the start of next school year, and half-day kindergarten will continue to be an option. The majority of schools in Kansas already provide full-day kindergarten.

“I think it is time for us to extend this to all the schools; it makes great sense,” board member Keith Diaz Moore said.

As for lowering class size, some of the cost for that will come from increased student enrollment. But the district will also pull from its contingency reserves and cash balances.

Right now, the average class size is at 21.5 students per teacher and can be as high as the low 30s. Increased enrollment would have bumped the average up to 22, but the added funding means the average will drop to 21 and allow for the district to add teachers to hot spots so classes won’t be much bigger than 28 students per class.

“This is an issue that continues to come up,” school board member Randy Masten said of class sizes. “I’m glad we are able to at this point make a move like this to alleviate the stress.”

said. She said one in four people would suffer a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. “That is a whole lot of us.”

Among the event’s honorees were Douglas County commissioners Jim Flory, Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman and County Administrator Craig Weinaug. They received the Pioneer Award for continuing to fund Bert Nash with about $2 million per year. Roach Smith said the funding is crucial because the center’s state funding has been cut 65 percent since 2008. Despite the cut, Bert Nash is committed to serving anyone regardless of ability to pay. It charges fees based on a sliding income scale.

“That sliding fee scale is underwritten by Douglas County through the support they provide to us.

It’s a very important piece to making sure all of our citizens are served and have good mental health,” Roach Smith said.

In 2011, Bert Nash received $9.8 million in funding and spent $10.1 million. Its top funding sources: O Fees for services: 54 percent.

O County funds: 22 percent.

O State funds: 9 percent.

O Grants: 5 percent.

It served 5,531 individuals last year: 35 percent were ages 18 and under, 46 percent were between

19 and 40; and 19 percent were older than 41. Fortysix percent were males, and 54 percent were females.

Depression and anxiety were its top diagnoses.

Bert Nash also recognized two employees with its coveted Sandra Shaw Spirit Award, which is named after the late Sandra Shaw, who served as CEO at Bert Nash for 22 years. The award is chosen by the staff, which includes 180 part-time and full-time employees. The winners: O Stephanie Shelley, financial manager, a 17-year employee.

O Joe Harris, receptionist for Community Support Services, a 13-year employee. He works with clients who have severe mental illness.

“I enjoy helping clients in the community and seeing them getting better and just knowing I have a part in that,” he said.

Kansas University police are urging students to be careful after two female students recently were assaulted while walking at night on campus.

A female student walking along Sunnyside Avenue at 2:10 a.m. Saturday reported a white male struck her in the face and grabbed her. She was able to break free in a struggle and run away.

The sexual battery suspect was described as a collegeaged white man, between 6 feet and 6 feet 3 inches, with a thin build, dark eyes, dark brown hair about 1 to 3 inches long. He was wearing a green Ralph Lauren shirt and cargo shorts.

Five days earlier, a 19-year-old female student reported a man shoved her about 9:25 p.m. April 16 as she was on the southwest side of Strong Hall. She kicked the man and ran away and made a police report about 12 hours later.

The suspect in that case was described as a tall black man in his 40s or 50s with graying black hair. He was wearing a brown jacket. Police did release a sketch of this suspect last weekend.

In an alert issued by police officers, they urged students to: O Walk in groups if possible.

O Stay on well-lit walking paths at night.

O Use transport a t i o n KU police have t h r o u g h provided this KU Safesketch and Ride and have asked KU Safefor help in Bus. identifying O Rethis suspect port any in an April 16 suspicious battery of a people or female student activity to outside of police.

Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said the two crimes were similar, but officers did not think the incidents were related because of the differences in the descriptions of the suspects.

KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said Monday that both incidents remained under investigation.

KU is asking anyone with information in either case to call the KU Public Safety Office at 785-8645900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 785-864-8888. Calls to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous, and callers could be eligible for a cash reward if information leads to an arrest.

Weekend incidents include accident, arrests

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Westbound lanes of Interstate 70 west of Lawrence were shut down for about 10 minutes Sunday night as Douglas County Sheriff’s officers assisted a person who was on an overpass bridge near the Lecompton interchange.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s spokesman, said a passerby called for help and was concerned about 10:30 p.m. after seeing a man standing on the bridge. Deputies were able to talk down the individual and assist in getting him psychological medical attention, Lewis said.

A Kansas Turnpike Authority dispatcher said state troopers suspended westbound traffic in the area until a sheriff’s officer took the man into custody.

BRIEFLY Test of emergency system planned Kansas University intends to test its emergency public address system, including an external speaker array, at 12:30 p.m. today.

During the test, a threesecond tone will sound, followed by a test message.

About a KANSAS minute after UNIVERSITY the public address system test, the external speaker array, set up in the west parking area of Murphy Hall will be tested.

The array is designed to be heard at a half-mile radius and can be heard indoors and outdoors. KU is considering adding a similar service to its emergency notification system.

In case of inclement weather, the test will be postponed until Thursday.

Man arrested after daughter, 4, injured Eudora police arrested a 24-year-old man Sunday evening after his 4-year-old daughter suffered a broken arm.

Police Chief Grady Walker said the incident, which had occurred in the past 72 hours, was still under investigation. Officers think the incident occurred in Eudora.

Douglas County prosecutors on Monday afternoon filed an aggravated battery charge in the case against Max A. Alcanter.

Defense attorney James Rumsey, who represented Alcanter at a bond hearing Monday afternoon, said Alcanter had no criminal history and that there was “evidence that there was some kind of discipline that was attempting to be given” to the child.

Pro-tem Judge James George agreed to let Alcanter sign his own $10,000 bond instead of having to use a bondsman.

According to jail records, a Eudora officer arrested Alcanter in Kansas City, Mo. Rumsey said Alcanter had arranged to live with family in Kansas City, Kan., while the case was pending because he was prohibited from having contact with the child or returning to the residence where the alleged incident occurred in the 900 block of Oak Street.

His next court appearance is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Lewis said Roy Wiggins Jr. lost control of his westbound 2008 Dodge pickup truck about 6 a.m. in the 900 block of North 500 Road, or County Road 460. The truck went off the north side of the road and crashed.

Deputies suspect alcohol as a contributing factor, and test results are pending, Lewis said.

O Lawrence police arrested a suspected drunken driver at 8:30 a.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Massachusetts Street in the middle of the Kansas Half Marathon, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman. The race began at 7:30 a.m. crossed Massachusetts Street at 17th Street at the beginning and end of the race.

No one was injured, but a 28-year-old Lawrence man was arrested.

O A 39-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested 6 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of aggravated assault after she was accused of threatening another person with a knife, McKinley said. The incident was part of an argument that occurred near an apartment on Michigan Street and also in the 300 block of Maine Street near Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Douglas County prosecutors Monday did not file charges against the woman, and she was released from jail.

O Also Saturday afternoon, a 38-year-old Lawrence man was initially arrested on charges of aggravated battery, criminal damage and criminal restraint stemming from a domestic incident in the 4900 block of Stoneback Drive. One person was treated at the hospital for injuries that were not considered life threatening, McKinley said. Prosecu-

tors later Monday charged Yahya Rajeh Alayafi with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery.

O A suspect about 3 a.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of Tennessee Street threw a concrete block through the back window of a Lawrence police patrol car, a 2011 white Crown Victoria, McKinley said. It caused about $1,000 worth of damage due to a broken window, dented trunk and damaged tail light, he said. The officer had been sent to a noise complaint in the area. No suspects for the damage have been identified.

O Lawrence police officers were also called about 1:45 a.m. Sunday to The Cave, a nightclub in The Oread, 1200 Ave.,

about a possible shooting, but officers determined the report was unfounded. The initial report was possibly due to the sound of bottles breaking in a stairway during a fight, McKinley said.

2 KU football players dismissed from team after fight accusations

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Two Kansas University football players are accused of getting into a fight with employees at the The Hawk, 1340 Ohio, and running from officers early Saturday, a Lawrence police spokesman said.

Linebacker Gregory Collin Garrett, 19, who would have been a sophomore next season, and red-shirt freshman defensive back Chris Robinson, 20, were dismissed from the team Monday, coach Charlie Weis said in a statement, for a violation of team rules.

Both Garrett and Robinson were given notices to

appear in Lawrence Municipal Court on charges of battery and interference with duties of an officer.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said bar employees asked Garrett to stop smoking inside, but an altercation began. Garrett was accused of pushing one employee in the face, and both Garrett and a bar employee received facial injuries during that exchange, McKinley said.

Garrett was ejected from the bar, but outside the front door, Garrett and Robinson had another altercation with staff members. When police were called, both Garrett and Robinson had left the area. They were located

and briefly ran from police, but officers apprehended them near the 1700 block of Louisiana Street, McKinley said.

Garrett had a laceration on his forehead and was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where an officer later gave him a ticket. Robinson was taken to the Douglas County Jail, where he later posted $200 cash bond and was given notice to appear in court May 8.

Garrett, of Beaumont, Texas, played in six games as a freshman last season.

Robinson, of Sanford, Fla, took a red shirt as a freshman.

Baldwin High School team wins aviation technology challenge Design concept earns students their second national title

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Kaitlyn Barnes was elated when she and her four Baldwin High School teammates finished their presentation at the national finals Saturday evening of the Real World Design Challenge in the nation’s capital.

“I felt so good after the presentation, I couldn’t stop smiling,” the junior said Monday morning.

She had good reason. The team’s presentation and responses to the questions that followed from the competition’s judges earned the Baldwin High School team its second national title in the aerospace technology competition sponsored by federal agencies, private aerospace companies and governments of participating states.

This year, teams were presented with computerdesigned fuselages and asked to digitally design tail sections and wings to complete a light-aviation aircraft. Teams then had to demonstrate their designs could take off from Kitty Hawk, N.C., fly to Dayton, Ohio, and land.

Pam Davis, team coach and Baldwin school district enhanced learning teacher, said the team of freshman Quint Heinecke and juniors Abby Clem, Austin Kraus, Barnes, Mackenzie Johnson and Carrie Deitz performed flawlessly in the final round of competition at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s IMAX Theater against teams from Nevada and Pennsylvania.

“I think they surprised even themselves that they were so polished and perfect,” Davis said. “It was obvious they were head and shoulders above the other two teams.”

The three teams were selected for the final

Man to be tried on child sex charge ATCHISON — A 73-yearold northeast Kansas man will go to trial on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a 9-year-old girl.

The man pleaded not guilty Monday in Atchison County District Court. The Atchison resident remains jailed on $200,000 bond.

He was arrested by Atchison police in February.

He’s accused of engaging in unlawful sexual conduct with the girl the previous month.

Conviction on the charge would bring a mandatory life sentence under a statute known as Jessica’s Law, because the girl in this case was less than 14 years old.

SIX BALDWIN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS toss paper airplanes in March after learning they won the state Real World Design Challenge and the right to compete in the national finals in Washington, D.C. On Saturday, the team emerged from two rounds of competition to win the national championship in the aviation technology competition. Team members are, from left, freshman Quint Heinecke and juniors Abby Clem, Austin Kraus, Kaitlyn Barnes, Mackenzie Johnson and Carrie Deitz.

“

We knew what we were talking about.

That’s what we had to do: prove we knew what we were talking about.”

— Mackenzie Johnson, Baldwin High school junior, on the team’s presentation to the judges round after presenting Saturday morning with 28 other teams at the national final’s opening round at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Md., where the teams stayed during the challenge.

The Baldwin team won an all-expense paid trip to compete in the national finals in February when its 88-page written entry took first in the state challenge.

A BHS team has won the state competition all four years the challenge has been contested in Kansas.

The national title was the culmination of work the team has put into the project since October. Students worked at home on laptops, meet as a group weekly and had all-day work sessions during the school’s Christmas and spring breaks.

The team was able to draw on the expertise of mentors, including two aerospace engineers from

Wichita, an equal number of Kansas University graduate students and Sandy Barnes, a computer engineer and mother of team member Kaitlyn Barnes.

Deitz and Kraus were members of the 2010 team that also won a national championship, and Barnes and Johnson joined them on the school’s 2011 thirdplace team. The veterans and newcomers Clem and Heinecke forged a working relationship that made the championship a team effort, Davis said.

“They spread the leadership around, and they all had an important part that was their responsibility,” she said.

The long hours and the team concept paid off in the finals, team members said.

“We were really comfortable out there,” Johnson said. “We knew what we were talking about.

That’s what we had to do: prove we knew what we were talking about.”

Despite the sense that the team had impressed the judges, most team members remained anxious until the results were announced.

“I was confident we did our best and that we had a good chance,” Deitz said.

“But you never know what the final results are going to be.”

Next 2 Supreme Court Protests scheduled for Legislature’s return closings postponed

By Scott Rothschild

srothschild@ljworld.com

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court on Monday postponed the next two scheduled court closings and furloughs to give legislators time to fund the judiciary.

In a prepared statement, Chief Justice Lawton Nuss said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades’ statements on Friday were enough to Nuss persuade the court that the Legislature would work to provide the required $1.1 million for the judiciary to make payroll for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. Rhoades, R-Newton, criticized Nuss for shutting down the courts but promised to push through funding when the Legislature reconvenes on Wednesday.

“His comments, plus those of his fellow appropriations committee members, that the Legislature will fund the courts were significant to the Supreme Court,” Nuss said.

The court system was closed April 13, and 1,500 employees furloughed for one day without pay because of the budget battle.

Four more closings and furloughs were scheduled for this Friday, and then May 11, May 25 and June 8.

The court has postponed Friday’s closing to Thursday, May 24 and the closing set for May 11 until Thursday, June 7.

If the Legislature approves the needed funding before May 24, then all the remaining closings can be avoided.

“Waiting until May 24

should give the Legislature more than enough time to make good on the House committee’s stated intention,” Nuss said.

The supplemental appropriation for the judicial system fell by the wayside when the House and Senate adjourned in late March for its nearly monthlong break without approving a budget.

Both the House and Senate agreed on the court funding, but the overall budget deal fell apart when the House negotiators, including Rhoades, refused to sign the appropriations bill because of a dispute over school funding.

A few days after legislators left town, Nuss ordered the courts closed for five days.

Some legislators said Nuss should have tapped internal court funds until the Legislature could return, but Nuss said that would have been inappropriate. And he added, “We had no assurance at that time that our budget would not fall victim to the same impasses that created the legislature’s inaction in March.”

Nuss indicated if the funding is not provided, the change of furlough dates will cause more problems because court business scheduled for May 24 and June 7 in 105 counties would have to be rescheduled. In addition, employees would face losing 20 percent of their pay per pay period under the proposed schedule.

“Changing the direction of the court system is not like turning a bass boat while fishing on a Kansas lake,” Nuss said. “It is more like trying to turn an aircraft carrier underway at sea.”

TOPEKA — At least three protest rallies will be held this week at the Statehouse related to controversial issues before the Legislature, which returns to session Wednesday.

Advocates for Kansans with developmental disabilities will rally at 10:30 a.m.

Wednesday, demanding that Gov. Sam Brownback exclude long-term care services for those with developmental disabilities from his proposal to privatize Medicaid. Organizers said they expect more than 1,000 people at the “Don’t Gamble

with Our Lives!” rally.

Brownback has asserted that the change will improve services and lower costs, but those delivering those services dispute that.

“The administration continues to tout the financial savings they foresee but fails to articulate how those savings will be achieved without reducing services,” said Tom Laing, executive director of InterHab, a statewide association of developmental disability service providers.

Individuals through Facebook are organizing a protest at 11:30 a.m. Thursday against legislation called the Kansas Preser-

vation of Religious Freedom Act. Several groups have said the proposal would allow Kansans to cite religious beliefs to discriminate against gays and trump a Lawrence ordinance that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. The proposal has been approved by the House and is now before the Senate.

On Saturday, there will be a “We Are Women” march as part of a national protest in what organizers are calling a “war on women.” The march will start at 11 a.m. at the Brown v. Board of Education Na-

tional Historical Site and end up at the Capitol.

Sponsors for this event include the Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri, The Group, Kansans United in Voice & Spirit, Great Plains Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church & State, MoveOn.org, League of Women Voters of Kansas, Mainstream Coalition and Occupy Wichita.

Kobach still serving as informal adviser to Romney

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Monday said he and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who share greatly different ideas about immigration policy, can work together to elect presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

“I think he (Romney) can embrace both of us and go merrily along to win the election in November,” Kobach said.

The political relationship between Kobach, a Republican and national advocate for strong antiillegal immigration laws, and Romney, who veered right during the primaries but now is trying to court Hispanic voters in the race against President Barack Obama, has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks in the national media.

On Monday, Romney was campaigning in Pennsylvania with Rubio, who has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate and has recently announced that he — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild is forming a proposal that can be reached at 785-423-0668. would help some undocu-

Kansan, Florida senator offer differing immigration views mented immigrants to stay in the country legally.

Earlier this year, Kobach announced his endorsement of Romney and said he was an unpaid adviser to the candidate on immigration issues. Kobach has said he was the source of Romney’s view that the answer to illegal immigration was “self-deportation” through the passage of controversial laws that Kobach has helped write in Arizona and Alabama.

When Kobach announced his support of Romney, the former Massachusetts governor had high praise for the Kansan.

“With Kris on the team, I look forward to working with him to take forceful steps to curtail illegal immigration and to support states like South Carolina and Arizona that are stepping forward to address this problem,” Romney said.

On Monday, Kobach said his role with the Romney campaign hasn’t changed, describing himself as an “informal adviser.”

Kobach said from time to time he sends Romney’s campaign officials emails

on developments in immigration policies and offers his advice.

“He can either take my advice or reject it,” Kobach said.

Meanwhile, Rubio has said he wants to craft a plan that would allow

some young undocumented immigrants to stay in the country legally but deny them citizenship.

Kobach said he could not evaluate the proposal until he sees specifics. Romney has declined to endorse Rubio’s proposal.

KU Hospital advance Creation of a new heart transplant program is a sign of the great progress being made at Kansas University Hospital.

M

onday’s announcement that Kansas University Hospital plans to start a heart transplant program is great news for the hospital, as well as for patients who may someday need a new heart.

KU’s Center for Advanced Heart Care has been recognized by U.S. News and World Reports as one of America’s best, and it will be elevated to an even higher national ranking with Monday’s announcement.

The only heart procedures KU Hospital does not offer are transplants and several assist devices. Now, KU doctors will add both services to provide patients the full spectrum of heart care, from minor to critical.

This decision is bold and visionary, and the KU Hospital board, chaired by Robert Honse, the hospital’s President and CEO Bob Page and the entire staff of the hospital’s Advance Heart Care Program are to be congratulated for their commitment to this advancement.

Approximately 15 years ago, KU Hospital faced a dire predicament. It was weak and struggling, and its leaders had three alternatives: close the hospital, find a buyer or make the changes necessary to turn the situation around.

Due to the vision of former KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway, the hospital became a stand-alone facility, instead of a state operation. In the next 15 years or so, KU Hospital has become recognized as greater Kansas City’s finest hospital, and its reputation has grown throughout the nation. It is ranked among the nation’s top 10 teaching hospitals.

With the upcoming departure of Barbara Atkinson, KU executive vice chancellor and dean of the KU medical school, there will be a far greater degree of cooperation between the medical school and KU Hospital. With new leadership at the medical school, the two entities will be able to combine their efforts, excellence and vision to build a powerhouse medical center.

There are sure to be critics or naysayers about the decision for KU Hospital to move into the heart transplant business, particularly because St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., also offers similar treatment. Some of this criticism or questioning will be reasonable, but some will be self-serving.

KU Hospital was severely criticized, rightfully so, for its poorly planned heart transplant effort that was shut down in 1995. Patients were brought to the hospital for the critical procedure, confined to their beds hoping for a new heart. Hearts were available but there were no surgeons to perform the operation. It was terribly damaging.

However, that was then, and KU Hospital today is a totally different hospital in every respect. Its open heart surgery program today is larger than St. Luke’s, which was long considered Kansas City’s best. KU performed 600 such operations last year compared with about 400 at St. Luke’s.

KU Hospital will have the only heart transplant program in the state. This will benefit Kansans who no longer will have to deal with health or insurance complications associated with going to another state to receive heart transplants.

KU Hospital has built its growth on two major goals: to be the best hospital in the country for patient care and to have the best possible outcome for its patients. There is a total commitment to quality in every facet of a patient’s hospital experience.

Successful hospitals, particularly hospitals known for their excellence, achieve this recognition due to the talent, work and commitment of an entire staff.

This certainly is true at KU Hospital, but in the heart care area, there are four individuals whose talent, skill and commitment have played a significant role in advancing KU’s program: Dr. Jeffrey Kramer, Dr. Randall Genton, Dr. William Reed and Dr. Lynn Kindred. They, along with the doctors in general cardiology, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery and cardiovascular research, have helped push the heart program forward.

KU Hospital’s rise to excellence and national prominence offers the perfect example of what vision and focus on excellence and leadership can achieve.

Based on the hospital’s record over the past 15 years, there is every reason to believe the heart transplant program will be a major success in every respect.

Student laptops are good first step Four years after Latin America made headlines by becoming a world leader in giving out free laptops to millions of schoolchildren — an idea that has since been embraced by more than 20 African, Asian and Eastern European countries — the first results are in, and they give some reasons for hope.

An evaluation of the nearly 1 million computers given through the One Laptop Per Child program in Peru, conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the largest of its kind, gave ample ammunition to both supporters and detractors of the program, a charity led by M.I.T.’s technology guru Nicholas Negroponte that has its operational headquarters in Miami.

In addition to Peru, several other Latin American countries — Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and El Salvador among them — have launched massive national or local government plans to give a laptop to every child in public school. Uruguay became the world’s first country to give all of its elementary school children a laptop two years ago.

The IADB study of more than 300 schools in rural Peru shows that the 3-year-old program in that country has narrowed the technological gap between rich and poor, and has helped improve the elementary-school students’ learning abilities.

But it also showed that the more than 900,000 children who received free laptops from the government

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

…the more than 900,000 children who received free laptops from the government showed no improvement in their math and reading skills.” showed no improvement in their math and reading skills.

In an article about the report, The Economist magazine opted to see the glass half-empty. In an April 7 story titled “A disappointing return from an investment in computing,” it said that far from revolutionizing education, it “does not accomplish anything in particular.”

Last week, I asked IADB education expert Eugenio Severin, one of the lead authors of the report, whether he would recommend Peru and other countries to go ahead with the one-laptopper-child program.

“These programs are a work in progress. Our recommendation is to continue them, and to improve them,” Severin said.

The good news is that the program allowed both chil-

dren and teachers in rural areas, who had never seen a computer, get access to technology, inserting them overnight into the digital age. Also, the laptop-equipped children in Peru showed some improvement in their learning abilities, including their vocabulary and capacity to solve logical sequences, he said.

The bad news was that, in addition to not showing any concrete results in math and reading tests, there was no evidence that the laptops motivated children to study more, or to attend school more regularly, he said. The machines by themselves are not improving educations standards, he said.

“Negroponte’s idea that throwing laptops from a helicopter into a village would dramatically improve education standards didn’t pan out,” Severin told me. “At least in Peru, it’s not happening.”

To make these programs work better, Peru and other countries will have to provide school children with more educational software, especially to teach math and language skills, Severin said.

In addition, countries need more teacher training before they start giving out school computers. In many Peruvian schools, teachers got only 40 hours of training before facing their newly digitalized classes, which barely helped them to learn how to use the machines, he said.

Rodrigo Arboleda, chairman of the Miami-based One Laptop Per Child Foundation, says that the IADB study shouldn’t be judged primarily on wheth-

er laptops improve test scores because the Peruvian government’s main goal was improving social inclusion.

“Many of the Peruvian rural schools that were looked at in the study did not have electricity nor Internet access,” Arboleda said. “If you did that same study in Lima, you would have seen an increase in school attendance, and a decline in drop-out rates, like the ones other studies have found in Uruguay, Paraguay and Nicaragua.”

My opinion: Education is a long-term project that takes years to translate into better test results. And the IADB’s conclusion that the school laptops in Peru’s rural areas help bridge the social gap and improve some learning abilities are nothing to be sneezed at.

The massive laptop distribution plans have been a social success, in that they are giving poverty-stricken children self-esteem and a sense of opportunity. And they are helping shake many of Latin America’s outdated education systems, if anything else because they force teachers to update their skills in order not to lose face in front of their computer-savvy students.

Now, it’s time to take the next step and turn these programs into an educational success, complementing them with educational software, teacher training programs and higher academic targets. If that’s done, they will become a Latin American success story.

PUBLIC FORUM

Evolving plan To the editor: At Thursday’s Historical Resources Commission meeting, the news broke that the Treanor/Compton group is withdrawing yet another of its proposals for the 900 N.H. lot.

The proposal had been denied by the HRC; an appeal was to be considered by the City Commission tonight. The 900 N.H. proposal is controversial because of its enormous size at the border between downtown and East Lawrence.

Treanor/Compton appear willing to adjust the proposal detail by detail, until it is approved. The tactic is to wear opponents down — the time invested in this debate has been enormous, including paid lawyers. The wealthy developers can exhaust the limited resources of the community to pay for continuing the debate, as well as the energy to appear at meeting after meeting to see the “next” proposal.

This is a moment of truth

for the city government. Treanor/Compton have wasted thousands of person-hours for city government in considering and reconsidering their proposals. I urge the commission to insist: (1) any proposal for development of this site should involve East Lawrence residents from the outset in its design; (2) building size should not exceed that of the Lawrence Arts Center; and (3) districtwide planning is critical. That is, City Commission should insist on a district study — covering the New Hampshire Street corridor from 11th Street to the river — before considering yet another slightly modified proposal.

In other words, City Commission should avoid opportunity-driven, suboptimal, incremental planning and instead insist on intelligent, analyzed and strategic development for our city.

Funding loss To the editor: I was absolutely stunned to see the cuts in funding for “safety net” organizations recently announced by United Way. Since I have served as a volunteer for Headquarters Counseling Center, I will confine my remarks to that agency in the hopes that the general public will have a better understanding of what they do.

Headquarters has provided confidential counseling, free of charge, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for 42 years. In 2010, they handled over 19,500 calls. Of those, 4,492 were from people dealing with depression or at risk for suicide, 1,217 were Phone-A-Friend calls from children needing a safe adult to talk to, 414 concerned alcohol and drug abuse, 369 were from survivors of abuse or rape and over 100 were from members of the military or their families.

Those abstract figures encompass considerable human anguish and suffering. When I

Fortunately, many of those have successfully moved beyond those stages. I know individuals who are alive today because of the help they received from Headquarters.

If the decline in funding is not reversed by the Lawrence community, Headquarters will cease to exist.

Who will be there to respond to all those voices?

Report: Social Security’s finances worsened WASHINGTON — High energy prices and an economy that has been slow to rebound are worsening Social Security’s finances, shortening the life of the trust funds that support the program by three years, the government said Monday.

Those trust funds will now run dry in 2033, according to a report issued by the trustees that oversee the massive retirement and disability program.

Medicare’s hospital insurance fund is projected to run out of money in 2024, which is unchanged from last year. The trustees, however, said Medicare spending continues to rise.

Congress enacted a 2 percent cut in Medicare last year, which is the main reason the trust fund exhaustion date did not advance.

If the Social Security and Medicare funds ever become exhausted, the nation’s two biggest benefit programs would collect only enough money in payroll taxes to pay partial benefits.

The trustees said in their annual report that Congress should address the programs as soon as possible, but no action is likely before the November election.

Social Security’s finances worsened in part because high energy prices suppressed wages, a trend the trustees see as continuing. The trustees said they expect workers to work fewer hours than previously projected, even after the economy recovers.

This year’s cost-of-livingadjustment, or COLA, was also higher than expected.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

QBs should steal show I’m a little confused. In general, that is. I’m a lot confused as to why football players Collin Garrett and Chris Robinson were smoking in The Hawk, or anywhere else for that matter.

When I was in college, it seemed to me the guys who smoked did so because they thought it made them look cool. The harder they slammed the pack into their palms before peeling the plastic, the cooler they looked. But doesn’t a uniform and a football helmet generate even more cool points?

Now, because they refused to look cool outside and insisted on doing so indoors and allegedly got a little rough with employees and ran from cops, Garrett, a talented linebacker, and Robinson had to surrender their shoulder pads, helmets, uniforms and, ultimately, their scholarships.

With each passing week, it becomes more evident just how deep a mess Charlie Weis inherited.

Obsessing on that grew too depressing, so I forced myself to concentrate instead on last Thursday’s 6 a.m. practice. The only visible smoke flew off the footballs thrown by Dayne Crist, the one-year transfer from Notre Dame.

Sure, no pass rush closed in on him, and he was launching long passes to receivers facing single coverage. Still, the quarterback built like a tight end showed remarkable accuracy throwing long passes to a variety of receivers who either caught or dropped them in the end zone.

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Crist is one of those quarterbacks who looks like he’s playing 10-yard catch when he slings it 50 yards. It will be interesting to see what No. 10 can do in Saturday’s spring game. (Brigham Young transfer Jake Heaps, eligible in 2013, threw with a lot of zip as well, maybe a little too much mustard on short passes.)

Early in the spring, Weis summed up what will bring Kansas football fans to Memorial Stadium for Saturday’s spring game.

“At the end of the day, what are the two things that people really want to see?” Weis asked and then answered. “Can the defense stop anybody? And what’s going on with Crist?”

Pre-spring game guesses to those questions: 1. Not yet. 2. Plenty, all of it good.

The defense usually looks better in spring games because they know the plays, but this game could be an exception. Without what Weis calls the cavalry — junior college and fifth-year transfers and high school recruits — both Crist and Heaps could have big days Saturday.

WEST VIRGINIA COACH DANA HOLGORSEN, LEFT, TCU coach Gary Patterson, center, and KU coach Charlie Weis are going through their first spring as part of the Big 12 conference.

WVU, TCU, Weis league newbies

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Monday morning marked the first official Big 12 football function for three coaches and two universities.

With spring football winding down and the conference’s head football coaches preparing to hand their players off to their strength staffs for the summer, Kansas University’s Charlie Weis joined TCU’s Gary Patterson and West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen in discussing what the first few weeks of entering into new territory had been like.

Of the three, only KU is accustomed to the Big 12.

The same cannot be said for TCU and West Virginia, which are moving over from the Mountain West and Big East to take the spots vacated by the departure of Missouri and Texas A&M. “It’s always hard,” Patterson said Monday. “I’ve been in six conferences in the 15 years I’ve been here. I’ve always said it takes you two years. You gotta play everybody once, and then you gotta play everybody back to kind of give you a road map of what you need to do. We have played some (Big 12) schools, but not recently, so we gotta get ready to go.”

While that concept may be

the one that rises to the surface and steals a few headlines, both Patterson and Holgorsen said they have not prepared much for their new league this spring.

“We’re a little bit more worried about ourselves,” Holgorsen said. “There’s a lot of things that we’re gonna have to do before we line up and play a Big 12 schedule, there’s no question.”

That said, both coaches owned up to the fact that they had at least thought a little about what being in the Big 12 would mean for their programs.

“There’s a lot of subtle things that are happening,

with who the coaches are, how we practice, what the schemes are,” Holgorsen said.

“But the specifics on who our opponents are or what they do, we’ll get into that more when the season gets around. ... There will be excitement about facing all of them.

They’re all quality coaches, and we’re going to have our work cut out for each and every one of them.”

Xavier transfer Lyons considering KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University is recruiting former Xavier University basketball combo guard Mark Lyons, according to Lyons’ former prep school coach, Jason Smith.

Lyons, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound junior out of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., and

originally from Schenectady, N.Y., was released from his scholarship agreement at Xavier on Monday.

Lyons, who averaged 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists a game last season, is also being pursued by Arizona, Kentucky and UCLA, Smith indicated on Twitter.

Syracuse is another possibility.

Lyons will be immediately eligible if he can complete his undergraduate degree in May. The Associated Press reported that Xavier coach Chris Mack and Lyons “were at odds during the season, when the guard repeatedly tried to take over games by driving into crowds of defenders or taking long shots.”

Lyons also was suspended two games for his role in a fight against Cincinnati in December. Four players from both teams were suspended as a result of that nonconference brawl.

FREE STATE’S CHELSEA CASADY (16) WORKS THE BALL against GardnerEdgerton’s Taylor Rayburn. FSHS won, 2-0, Monday at Free State.

The final score alone doesn’t do the domination justice.

Yes, Free State High’s girls soccer team beat GardnerEdgerton, 2-0, Monday night at FSHS, but it wasn’t that close.

The Firebirds ruled their home field, rarely allowing the visitors to possess the ball, let alone score — or even take a shot.

Senior Free State goalkeeper Elena Auer saw exactly one shot come her way, and that wasn’t until the 61st minute. By that juncture, Firebirds sophomore Maddie Dieker had scored twice and FSHS was well on its way to out-shooting the Trailblazers, 30-1.

Amber Hicks, Kylee Loneker, Chelsea Casady, Regan Keasling, Margaux Gill, Abbey Casady, Hadyn Hutchison, Allix Ice — they

all had their shots at scoring and manufacturing a blowout for Free State (7-1-2), but it was just one of those nights where the ball didn’t seem interested in finding the back of the net that often.

Loneker, who blasted one final attempt off the right post before time expired, said she and her teammates eventually felt good about the way they were playing.

Saints deny wiretapping report NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints denied an anonymously sourced ESPN report Monday which alleges that general manager Mickey Loomis’ booth in the Superdome was wired so he could listen to opposing coaches’ radio communications during games.

ESPN could not determine if the system was ever used. The report on Monday’s “Outside the Lines� said Loomis would have been able to eavesdrop on opponents from 2002 to 2004. The report also said the system was disabled in 2005, when the Superdome was

heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Saints spokesman Greg Bensel called the report “1,000 percent false.� “We asked ESPN to provide us evidence to support their allegations and they refused,�

Bensel said. “The Loomis team and Mickey are seeking all legal recourse regarding these false allegations.�

Just like the real thing, Metta World Peace didn’t last very long.

For those who still think the Artest formerly known as Ron delivered an elbow unintentionally to the head of Oklahoma City’s James Harden, go back to the video from Sunday’s game against the Lakers, then to the dozen or so previous incidents that made MWP the most suspended player in the NBA during the past 15 years. To those who say he’s reformed, remember it was only a matter of weeks last season between the time he picked up the pro basketball writers’ citizenship award and laid out J.J. Barea in the playoffs with a clothes-line hit.

There’s no reforming the guy, because unlike Dennis Rodman, whose number he wore for a while in tribute, MWP isn’t playing a character.

After years of counseling, he still has precious little impulse control and even less of an idea when his demons are about to grab the upper hand.

If I’m commissioner David Stern, the deliberations would have been over long before now.

The point is not simply to send a message, it’s about protecting the other players. Besides, trying to teach MWP a lesson didn’t work the first dozen times, and anything less than a suspension through the playoffs — into next season, if need be — is to invite the same kind of stupid risk-taking the NHL encouraged early in its postseason.

Throwing an elbow generally falls into the 1- or 2-game category, but this one had nothing do with holding onto the ball or clearing space. If Harden hadn’t been already turned to the side, and instead caught the elbow full force in the cheek or eye socket, a concussion would have been far from his only problem.

To get 10 games, players usually have to clearly throw punches designed to injure opponents or fans — another infraction MWP already knows plenty about.

He got 73 games for his central role in the 2004 “Malice at the Palace� brawl.

Artest isn’t a bad guy, at least not in the sense that he plays dirty to hang onto a job or even to settle a score. He’s generous and generally well-intentioned, giving freely of his off-court time for charitable causes, not to mention going through all that trouble to change his name — “to inspire and bring youth together all around the world.� And who can forget his willingness to advocate for mental-health counseling, even thanking his sports psychologist moments after the Lakers won the title in 2010.

But those counselors have had only limited success curbing the kind of outburst Artest unleashed Sunday night. Now it’s up to Stern to decide if he wants to give them a chance to try once more.

FREE STATE HIGH

ible,� Loomis’ statement continued. “It just didn’t happen.�

If the Saints had installed a system allowing them to listen in on their opponents it would have violated NFL rules and also could have infringed on federal wire-tapping laws.

For the Saints, the report in itself added to a slew of recent bad publicity, which began in early March when the NFL released a report describing a crunch-for-cash bounty system that provided improper cash bonuses to defensive players who delivered hits that hobbled targeted opponents.

Virginia Tech fires hoops coach Seth Greenberg Seth Greenberg was fired as the men’s basketball coach at Virginia Tech on Monday, a decision athletic director Jim Weaver said he and basketball administrator Tom Gabbard arrived at last week as they assessed the state of the program.

The discussion came after a second assistant coach in two weeks, and sixth in four years, announced that he was leaving Greenberg’s staff, this time to take an assistant’s job at ACC rival Clemson. Associate head coach James Johnson, a five-year member of Greenberg’s staff, was offered a salary matching the one he was to receive at Clemson, but still declined. “Coach Johnson came to my office Friday morning and told me that it had nothing to do with money,� Weaver said.

Last week, Rob Ehsan left to become an assistant at Alabama-Birmingham and was accompanied by director of basketball operations Jeff Wulbrun, who got an assistant’s position at UAB, leaving only John Richardson and Greenberg on the Tech staff.

Other factors, such as Weaver’s perception of the way Greenberg and his staff fit into the family atmosphere Weaver tries to promote for all his coaching staffs, also weighed into the decision, as did a desire to avoid filling out a staff for a short term.

Greenberg spent nine seasons in Blacksburg, guiding the Hokies to a 170-123 record. They were 16-17 this year, just 4-12 in the ACC, and missed postseason play for the first time in six years. Greenberg, who had four years left on his contract, led Virginia Tech to the NCAA tournament just once in nine seasons. They won a game in 2007 before losing.

The buyout of Greenberg’s contract was $1.2 million.

Greenberg was told of his dismissal about 1:30, Weaver said, adding that he thought the coach was “shocked.�

The search for a successor will begin today, Weaver said, adding that he has already heard from people in the profession about the job. He did not rule out hiring an assistant coach or a young head coach with little experience.

ENGLEWOOD, COLO. — Brian Dawkins says his head told him to retire, not his neck.

The veteran safety called Denver Broncos coach John Fox on Monday morning to tell him that after plenty of prayer and reflection, he’d decided that 16 seasons in the NFL was enough.

Then, Dawkins announced his retirement on Twitter, where he quickly began trending as fans worldwide expressed their admiration for the mild-mannered family man who transformed himself into a ferocious football player on Sundays.

Well-known by his alter-ego “Wolverine,� and for his passionate, energetic play for 13 years in Philadelphia and three in Denver, Dawkins was one COLLEGE FOOTBALL of the greatest to ever play his position, and noplayed safety in the NFL longer than he did.

Brown introduced at SMU J-W Staff and Wire Reports

DALLAS — Hall of Fame basketball coach Larry Brown was formally introduced as SMU’s head coach on Monday at a news conference.

The 71-year-old Brown, who reportedly will receive $1.75 million a year for five years, was on the top of his game, cracking jokes with one of his pupils, invited

change for both parties was the right thing moving forward,” Mack said Monday. “During our meeting, expectations were outlined for his fifth and final season, areas in which I believe needed improvement. Mark did not recognize these expectations as being important, and ultimately it was decided that a change of scenery would be in his best interest. I wish Mark well.”

Lyons was recruited to Xavier by current Arizona head coach Sean Miller.

Arizona recently lost a point guard in sophomore-to-be Josiah Turner, who has announced plans to transfer to a yet-to-bedetermined school. KU returns starting combo guard Elijah Johnson and reserve point Naadir Tharpe, who played sparingly as a freshman.

Lyons last season dished 94 assists against 74 turnovers while logging 32 minutes per game for the Musketeers, who reached the Sweet 16. He hit 176 of 414 shots for 42.5 percent. He made 58 of 148 threes for 39.2 percent. He scored in double figures in 29 games with

these teams for those kinds of players a year ago. The saying out there, ‘Well, they weren’t in the Big 12,’ is one of the things we dealt with, and now, it’s, ‘Can they win in the Big 12?’

I think once we can prove that we can win in the Big 12, then I think you’re going to see a big change in how we do things.”

Weis was not asked about the league as much as he was about his second chance to be a college head coach. Asked if he had learned something from his five seasons at Notre Dame, Weis flashed his trademark honesty.

“You kidding me?” he responded. “I can’t tell you how many things. ...

When you go through being a head coach the first time, you never want it to not work out, but (when it doesn’t) you have time to sit back and reflect and say, ‘Why did I do that?’

There’s so many things that you go through the first time that you say, ‘Well, if I have an opportunity, next time I’ll do it this way.’ I talked to (New England Patriots coach Bill) Belichick at great length about this earlier in our careers, and he told me the same thing — the second time around you learn so many things from the first time around about the right and wrong way of doing things. That doesn’t mean you don’t still make mistakes, but you learn by your mistakes, and you just make less of them.”

TCU scheduling It may seem odd to some that KU’s first conference game of the 2012 season — Sept. 15 vs. TCU — actually comes before the final game of the Jayhawks’ nonconference schedule. Monday, Weis explained why.

guest Bill Self, and former SMU coach and fellow North Carolina graduate Matt Doherty, in attendance.

“When I look in the mirror, I get kind of scared.

But inside, I feel like I can do this forever,” Brown said.

Brown is taking over a program that has revamped its facilities and has lots of top high school talent nearby. Standing

outside the half-centuryold Moody Coliseum, which is set to undergo $40 million in renovations, Brown said he saw the arena as “the same kind of facility” as Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke’s home court.

“Walking around this campus, if we can get a kid to visit here, I can’t imagine him going anywhere else,” Brown said.

a career-high 27 points against Saint Louis on Jan. 25. Lyons finished his career 28th on Xavier’s all-time scoring (1,194 points).

Lyons, a third-team allAtlantic 10 pick, told the Arizona Daily Star he is looking forward to proving he’s a true point guard.

He played combo guard last year, with Tu Holloway running the point most of the time.

“That’s what I’m going to play my final year,” Lyons told the Daily Star.

“Tu Holloway was one of the best in the country so I didn’t get to play it. A lot of people don’t think I can play point guard.”

Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

At UCLA, he’ll be reunited with his former Atlanta Celtics coach, Korey McCray, who is on the UCLA staff.

“Yes sir, I did want to play for Korey,” Parker told the Journal-Constitution. “We’re extremely close. He’s like an older brother to me, and he has been looking out for me for a long time … I really thought if I went to UCLA, Korey could really develop me. He pushes me hard.”

ESPN’s Dave Telep ranks UCLA’s incoming class, which includes No. 1-ranked Shabazz Muhammad and No. 3 Kyle Anderson, No. 1 in the country. Telep said Kentucky would garner the No. 1 class for the fourthstraight year if the Wildcats land No. 7 Anthony Bennett of Findlay Prep High (Henderson, Nev.) this spring.

Parker taps UCLA: Tony Parker, a 6-9 senior forward from Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga., on Monday signed a letter-of-intent with UCLA. He chose the Bruins over Duke, Georgia and Ohio State. KU apparently was eliminated prior to Parker’s news conference because a Jayhawk cap was not placed next to those of his other four finalists.

Parker, who is Rivals. com’s No. 27-rated player, first grabbed hats from Georgia and Ohio State before opening his shirt to reveal a UCLA T-shirt.

“I just wanted to go to a place with a winning tradition,” Parker told the

“We actually had an option to play them a couple weeks later,” he said. “But I felt that players are creatures of habit, and what that would’ve done is we would’ve ended up having a bye in the third week instead of the fifth week.

When you look at the big picture, once you get going into the season, you want to get going, you want to get into the season.”

Weis continued: “Playing TCU wasn’t gonna be good any time you ended up playing them, but the whole goal would be to start gaining some momentum early in the season. That goes back to trying to change that whole mentality thing.

You’re gonna play some good teams in the Big 12.

And you’re gonna play ’em on a regular basis. So rather than wait until the fifth week of the year to go ahead and play one, you might as well get your feet wet and (say), ‘Let’s get going.’”

Weis knows WVU While TCU’s campus sits in the middle of one of the most fertile recruiting grounds for the Big 12, Weis said he also knew a little about the school in lesser-known Morgantown, W.Va. “My first visit to West Virginia was many, many moons ago when I started working out some guys at the facility,” Weis recalled. “I really appreciate how rabid the fans are, and it’s a really tough place to play. The stadium is an awesome venue, and they have great fans, and it’ll be very difficult because they’re a very talented, well coached team.”

More praise for Crist Asked Monday about the impact of Notre Dame transfer/projected starting quarterback Dayne Crist, Weis said the new QB’s impact was evident immediately.

“He’s on campus for about five minutes, and he’s already viewed by

New name: James Young, a 6-5 junior from Troy, Mich., is considering KU, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan State and others, Rivals.com reports. Young is rated No. 9 in the Class of 2013. He averaged 25 points a game (hitting 12 of 27 threes) during a weekend AAU tournament in Minnesota, which KU coach Bill Self attended.

his peers as the leader of the team,” Weis said.

“That is saying volumes about the situation, both pro and con. On the negative end, it means you’re lacking leadership. On the positive end, it means you have somebody who brings leadership to the table.”

Fambrough to be honored Former KU player and coach Don Fambrough, who died last September, will be celebrated Saturday, prior to KU’s annual spring game, when stretches of two streets near Memorial Stadium will be renamed in his honor.

The ceremony, which will feature KU officials, Lawrence City Commissioner Hugh Carter and Fambrough’s son, Preston, will take place at 11:15 a.m. at what is now the intersection of 11th and Maine Streets.

The Lawrence City Commission voted in March to rename 11th Street, from Mississippi Street to Missouri Street, Fambrough Drive. KU will rename the stretch of Maine Street behind the Memorial Stadium press box Fambrough Way. “Don Fambrough was an icon — not just on the KU campus, but across the state of Kansas,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said. “He wore his passion for KU on his sleeve, and every day he proudly demonstrated his love for Kansas Football and Kansas Athletics. He loved his players, and they played their hearts out for him.”

Added Carter: “The City Commission and numerous community members were supportive of the decision to rename this section of 11th Street after Don Fambrough.

Don was a long-time proponent of the university and the community.

He was dedicated to his work with Kansas Athletics, but was also a passionate volunteer and fundraiser.”

Of his own contract, Brown noted: “I’ve always been overpaid, and this is no exception.”

Former KU assistant Doherty, who was fired after five seasons, said: “My biggest concern in this process was that they hire a good coach and a good person for my players and Kyle R. Lee/AP Photo my recruits, because I care about those kids. And LARRY BROWN SPEAKS DURING HIS INTRODUCTION as SMU men’s basketball coach Monday in Dallas. they did it.”

Giants 7-6, Mets 2-1 NEW YORK — Madison Bumgarner pitched seven neat innings, Pablo Sandoval homered to match a team mark set by Willie Mays and the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 7-2 Monday night for a doubleheader sweep.

The Giants took the opener 6-1 as Tim Lincecum (1-2) posted his first win of the season despite another uneven performance.

Slightly over 1,000 fans bundled up in the stands when the opener began on a windy, raw afternoon better suited for the Bay Area. The crowd later picked up, but Citi Field was nearly empty for the final out. A rainout Sunday forced the twinbill.

Sandoval hit a three-run homer in the first inning to back Bumgarner (3-1).

The burly slugger has a 16game hitting streak, tying the San Francisco record at the start of a season set

by Mays in 1960, STATS LLC said.

Miguel Batista (0-1) and Dillon Gee (1-2) took the losses for the Mets.

St. Louis closer Jason Motte (1-1) had the Cubs down to their final strike when Mather, a former Cardinal, grounded a 2-2 slider up the middle, scoring Bryan LaHair and Geovany Soto.

LaHair battled Motte for 12 pitches before drawing a one-out walk. Motte then walked Soto, before Steve Clevenger’s grounder moved the runners up to set the plate for Mather.

Rafael Dolis (1-1) picked up the win in relief.

Jaime Garcia outdueled Matt Garza, who held St. Louis to two runs and four hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking three.

Brewers 6, Astros 5 MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun broke out of his slump with a homer and three hits, Zack Greinke remained unbeaten at Miller Park and the Brewers held off the Astros.

Braun also singled in a run and doubled to end a 2-for-20 slide. Greinke pitched six solid innings to improve to 13-0 at home

with Milwaukee, which won its 10th straight against the Astros.

Greinke (2-1) handed Jose Veras a 6-2 lead to start the seventh, but five of the next six Astros batters reached base. Houston scored three runs on four hits, including Brian Bogusevic’s two-run triple, before Veras struck out Jose Altuve and got pinch-hitter Matt Downs to ground out to end the inning.

Lucas Harrell (1-1) took the loss.

Diamondbacks 9, Phillies 5 PHOENIX — Justin Upton burst out of a slow start to the season with two RBIs, including his first home run, and the Diamondbacks pounded the Phillies.

Left-hander Wade Miley, starting in place of injured Daniel Hudson, stifled the Phillies on two hits through six scoreless innings.

Philadelphia’s Kyle Kendrick (0-1), replacing the injured Cliff Lee, lasted just three innings plus one batter, allowing seven runs and 11 hits.

Jason Kubel homered and doubled twice, tying a career best with three hits.

Miley (2-0) struck out seven and walked one in his first start of the season.

Philadelphia scored all five runs in the ninth inning, including a threerun homer by Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz’s solo shot.

Rockies-Pirates, ppd PITTSBURGH — Clint Hurdle hasn’t had an atbat in a major league game since 1987. The Pittsburgh Pirates manager hasn’t thought once about stepping back in either.

Which makes Hurdle all the more in awe of Colorado’s Jamie Moyer. The 49-year-old Moyer is only five years younger than Hurdle, and while Hurdle hasn’t played in a game in more than two decades, Moyer is still out there finding ways to get guys out.

Moyer became the oldest pitcher to win a major league game after working seven solid innings in a 5-3 victory over San Diego last week.

“It’s a wonderful story,” Hurdle said. “It’s a story that only sport can come up with.”

Moyer’s chance to break his own record will have to wait a day at least.

Colorado’s game with the Pirates on Monday night was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on Wednesday as part of a doubleheader beginning at 12:35 p.m.

The cancellation gives the Pirates an extra day to prepare for Moyer (1-2, 2.55 ERA). The left-hander surrendered six hits in seven innings against the Padres, mixing speeds and using pinpoint control while picking up his first win in nearly two years.

Jeter helps Yanks rip Rangers The Associated Press

Yankees 7, Rangers 4 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Derek Jeter had four hits to stretch his hitting streak to 13 games, Alex Rodriguez belted career home run No. 632, and New York beat Texas on Monday night.

CC Sabathia (2-0) struck out eight over eight innings for his 11th career win against the two-time defending American League champion Rangers, who won their first five series this season.

The big left-hander was pitching with an extra day of rest after the Yankees’ scheduled series finale at Boston was rained out Sunday night, a day after New York overcame a 9-0 deficit for a 15-9 win over the Red Sox. Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for his fourth save. New York has won 10 of 13 since being swept in three games at Tampa Bay to start the season.

Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers.

Derek Holland (2-1) fell to 0-5 with a 9.26 ERA against the Yan-

kees. He gave up seven reeling Red Sox for at runs and nine hits in six least one night.

White Sox 4, Athletics 0 OAKLAND, CALIF. — Jake Peavy pitched a three-hitter, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko hit back-to-back homers, and Chicago beat Oakland.

Two days after teammate Phil Humber pitched

the 21st perfect game in major-league history, Peavy allowed only a leadoff single to Jemile Weeks in the fourth inning, a double to Yoenis Cespedes in the seventh and a single to Coco Crisp in the ninth.

The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner walked two and faced only four batters more than the minimum.

Alex Rios added three hits for Chicago, while Brent Morel had two hits and scored a run.

Oakland starter Bartolo Colon scattered seven hits over seven innings and fell short in his bid to become the first four-game winner in the majors.

factors that led to their 11th straight loss. Kansas City wound up winless on a 10-game homestand, the first team to lose its first 10 at home since the Cubs dropped 12 in a row at Wrigley Field in 1994.

Eric Hosmer scored the Royals’ only run with a homer leading off the second inning.

“That’s a good team over there with a lot of good players,” Farrell said.

“They’ve got a very good, talented young team. It’s what we went through last year. You have to grow and mature.”

The four-game sweep was the Blue Jays’ first since May 2009, and their first ever at Kansas City.

The last time they swept four on the road was 2003 against the New York Yankees.

Bruce Chen (0-2) used his veteran guile to keep the Blue Jays on the ropes most of the game. His only major mistakes came against Bautista and Johnson, and they cost him the game.

Kansas City (3-13) matched the 2006 team for the second-worst start in franchise history, and heads out on a nine-game trip having lost 11 straight for the first time since May 2008.

The last team to lose 10 straight at home was Arizona in 2004.

“Talk to us at the end of May and see what our record is,” Royals outfielder Jeff Francoeur said. “I still believe we’ve got plenty of talent in this room to turn it around, and that’s what we plan on doing. I wanted to get this one bad tonight just to get one at home.”

Johnson staked the Blue Jays to the lead with his first-inning home, and it was tied 1-all in the third inning when Alcides Escobar led off with a double.

Chris Getz sacrificed him to third base, but Alex Gordon struck out — he’s hitting .177 on the season — and Billy Butler grounded out to third base to end the inning.

“It was a little frustrating at the beginning, because we felt like we should’ve scored some goals,” Loneker said. “But as we were going along, we just realized scoring isn’t everything, and possessing is mostly what we should do.”

Coach Kelly Barah, after seeing his team command time of possession, said that is the plan everytime FSHS takes the field.

“That’s what we try to pride ourselves on,” Barah said. “Can we defend well and then get the ball and do the things that we want to do with it?”

The defense barely had to do any work on its side of the field, besides Ice, Rylee Fuerst or Olivia Hodison passing — either to set something up or move the ball back to Auer, so she could kick it ahead.

Offensively, Barah was pleased to see the Firebirds impose their will.

“The goalkeeper (GEHS senior Heather Hollingshead) stopped a couple of really close-range shots, we had some sail on us, a couple just go right or left of the post,” Barah said.

“All and all, I’ll take the ‘W’ and just be contented that at least we didn’t get too far off in terms of the possession.”

On its seventh of 16 shots on goal, FSHS finally scored in the 34th minute.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — John Farrell has plenty of reasons to be bummed that the Toronto Blue Jays won’t be back in Kansas City this season. Four of them, to be exact.

Jose Bautista hit a tworun homer, Kelly Johnson also went deep, and the Blue Jays beat the bumbling Royals, 4-1, on Monday night to wrap up their first four-game sweep in nearly three years.

The Blue Jays improved to 6-1 on the road this season, making the most of their only trip through Kansas City. They head off to Baltimore for a three-game set that wraps up a seven-game road swing, one that has thrust them into the picture in the AL East.

Brandon Morrow (1-1) took care of the struggling Kansas City lineup. The right-hander allowed seven hits and a walk in 62⁄3 innings, and Luis Perez and Francisco Cordero did the rest. Cordero got some help from a doubleplay groundout in the ninth for his second save.

“I thought Brandon did a great job from the third inning on,” Farrell said.

“He pitched out of a number of jams and really executed when he needed to make pitches.”

He got some help from the Royals’ ghastly situational hitting, one of many

“When we were attacking forward, I kind of peeled off, and Margaux and I worked it up top,” Dieker said. “She kind of knows my runs already and played it through. I just had to get one step past the defender.”

Her second goal was less conventional.

Dieker didn’t get a solid boot on the ball from the left side, about 15 yards out. But Abbey Casady was coming hard at Hollingshead as the

ball headed slowly toward the goal.

“Abbey went kind of up for it,” Dieker said, “and I guess she spooked the keeper, and it just rolled on through.”

Some good luck was overdue with Free State in such control. Not that Barah was worried about the final margin.

“If you’re in this long enough, you’ll see a couple of crazy ones like this,” the coach said. “We just couldn’t finish (Monday).

Hopefully we get back on that train (tonight).”

Free State will play at Olathe South at 7 tonight.

our hometown heroes…our innovators, healers, teachers and tradition-makers. The ones who continue to push the boundaries of possibility and selflessness to bind us, define us, enrich us and sustain us.

The Associated Press

Spurs 124, Trail Blazers 89 SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan scored 18 points, and San Antonio clinched the top playoff spot in the Western Conference and pushed its win streak to eight, beating the Trail Blazers on Monday night.

It’s another No. 1 seed for the Spurs, who somehow made this sixth one in the Duncan era even more surprising than getting here last season. Two days before Duncan turns 36, the NBA’s standardbearers beat out the young Oklahoma City Thunder for ultimate home-court advantage.

Wesley Matthews had 24 points for the Trail Blazers, who lost their sixth straight and have one game left in a tumultuous season in which the franchise effectively hit the reset button.

The Spurs have two games left, and can now turn to resting their Big Three.

But this blowout let coach Gregg Popovich start the resting process early. Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili didn’t play in the fourth quarter, and chances are the three-time championship trio won’t play in the remaining meaningless games at Phoenix and Golden State.

San Antonio could also know its first-round opponent as early as today.

That’s when Phoenix plays at Utah in a game that could decide the No. 8 seed.

Danny Green also had 18 points for the Spurs, while Parker scored 13 and Stephen Jackson and Gary Neal both added 12.

The Spurs secured the top seed with a secondhalf surge, winning 22 of their last 25 games.

Getting No. 1 wound up meaning nothing last season — Memphis knocked them out in a first-round stunner — but the Spurs are undoubtedly deeper and healthier this time around.

J.J. Hickson had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Portland on a night when the injury-depleted Trail Blazers again only used nine players.

Portland is skidding toward a merciful end of its first season out of the playoffs in four years.

Their losing streak is at a season high and interim coach Kaleb Canales — who grew up two hours south in the border city of Laredo — was humiliated in his homecoming.

It was the Trail Blazers’ most lopsided defeat since Canales took over in March after Nate McMillan was fired. Before the game Canales, the NBA’s first Mexican-American coach, played down the emotion of being home with a caravan of friends and family watching in the stands.

Not to mention working down the bench from the coach who taught him basketball basics as a kid.

Canales is 33. Popovich, when he was an assistant under then-Spurs coach Larry Brown in the late 1980s, would join other Spurs coaches and players on promotional bus tours along the Texas border to drum up interest. Popovich still recalls one of the youngsters at a stop outside a Laredo grocery store.

“I taught him all he knows as far as dribbling skills are concerned in the parking lot at the H-E-B,” Popovich said.

Dear Annie: My husband and I own a small business. We both work at other full-time jobs, and we also have three children, so life is hectic and busy.

I am uncomfortable with the intensity of a relationship he is having with one of our employees. “Molly” is a single woman with children.

She is a terrific employee, and a large part of our business depends on her.

My husband is a good man and has taken her under his wing to help her through a difficult time.

I have expressed concern about their relationship, and he compares it to any good friendship.

We are trying to use this situation as a wake-up call to get refocused on our relationship. Yet, I often feel he is placating me. As long as Molly is in the picture, I continue to struggle with my reaction to their “friendship.” I

am in counseling, but my husband is a bit dismissive about the process.

Would it be reasonable to talk to Molly and explain my concerns?

Perhaps if she knew what was going on, she would set some limits on the situation. To those employees who see themselves in this situation: Please consider how your relationship can affect someone else’s marriage and family. — Sad Dear Sad: We’re not entirely sure what you are objecting to, other than the fact that Molly is

‘Complex’ acknowledges poverty Attractive strivers hang out poolside at a rundown Hollywood motel while awaiting their big break in the new series “The L.A. Complex” (8 p.m., CW).

Don’t worry. It’s not located on Melrose Place. “The Lux” motel is located in a much more downmarket neighborhood. ‘‘The L.A. Complex” may not be cinema verite, but it marks the CW Network’s belated acknowledgment that things like poverty and desperation exist. So it’s kind of a big deal.

Aspiring actress Abby (Cassie Steele) is first seen being evicted by a violent landlord and having the engine overheat in her old and unfashionable car. Not to give too much away, but Abby later vomits into a piano during a crucial audition.

Did I say “gritty”?

Her co-tenants and newest best friends include Alicia (Chelan Simmons), an ambitious dancer who is always this-close to being cast, and Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson), who toils as an intern for a hip-hop mogul.

Nick (Joe Dinicol) is a hungry stand-up comic who has a thing for Abby but is too nice to realize that she’s already stuck on Connor (Jonathan Patrick Moore), the good-looking Australian actor who just landed a leading part in a new TV show. This enables him to leave the Lux behind. But things at his fancy new digs just don’t seem the same.

Presiding like a sad den mother over these Hollywood hatchlings is Raquel (Jewel Staite), a 30-ish actress recognized by everyone for her work in the old series “Teenage Wasteland.” Her neighbors frequently remind her that “they grew up watching her.”

Ouch.

Nearly four years after the economic meltdown of 2008 and the unpopular bailouts that followed, “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS) presents “Money, Power and Wall Street,” a two-part, four-hour documentary miniseries. The second part airs at 8 p.m. May 1.

Tonight’s other highlights

The gang of “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox) performs the music of Whitney Houston.

The 43rd annual GMA Dove Awards (7 p.m., GMC) honor the year’s best gospel and devotional music.

Jess worries that she and Russell lack a certain something on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

Live eliminations on “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC) and “Dancing With the Stars” (8 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Film and drama critic Stanley Kauffmann is 96. Movie directorproducer Richard Donner is 82.

Actress Shirley MacLaine is 78.

Author Sue Grafton is 72. Actresssinger-director Barbra Streisand is 70. Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is 70. Country singer Richard Sterban (The Oak Ridge Boys) is 69.

single and works closely with your husband. This doesn’t necessarily mean anything is going on.

Does he share with her things that are private issues within your marriage? Does he discuss things with her that he ought to be discussing with you? Does he spend a lot of time with her that isn’t business related? Is he secretive or distant?

Does he put her welfare before yours? Is your intimate life suffering? Please discuss these things with your counselor.

Dear Annie: At what point am I supposed to call my uncles by their first names only? I am a 59-year-old male and recently spoke with my “Uncle Bill” on the phone. I referred to him as “Uncle Bill,” and he screamed, “I’m just Bill!”

So now I wonder about all my other relatives. I will soon be hosting a family reunion and don’t want to create a

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, April 24: This year you’ll survey your assets, talents and financial wellbeing. If you feel unfulfilled or insecure, look to an unused talent or asset you possess. If you are single, use good sense as to how much you’ll share before getting to know a potential sweetie. If you are attached, curb your criticism and increase your appreciation.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Take a serious look at your talents and potential. Use these abilities rather than put them on the back burner. Tonight: Impulsiveness could set in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your insight tosses plans into the blender once more. You know what works and what doesn’t.

Tonight: Share more of yourself, including a favorite pastime.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Sudden actions from others demonstrate that certain people are not sharing as much as you thought. Recognize that other factors determine their choices.

Tonight: You are the action.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Listen to news, even if you are uncomfortable with what you are hearing. Try not to be in denial, because ultimately you’ll only hurt yourself. Tonight: Do what feels good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) New ideas cause you to adjust your plans or a project. You’ll gain a lot of insight if you remain open to this information. Tonight: Where you most want to be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a stand if a partner

jacquelinebigar.com

or close associate continues his or her pattern of wreaking havoc in your life. Though you cannot change this person, you can establish stronger boundaries. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You cannot risk myopic vision. Step back to gain a better and more complete perspective.

Tonight: Choose a mind-relaxing activity.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to relate directly and with clarity emerges. A person who you often see acts in an unusual manner. Perhaps you need to accept that behavior. Tonight: Special time with a special person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Rather than make a decision, sit back on your haunches and relax. Observe more. Tonight: Be among friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Accomplish as much as you can. You might need to block a personal situation or detach temporarily in order to clear up other more urgent matters. Tonight: Lose your stress.

Hop into a hot tub or go to the gym.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your creativity allows you to be more whimsical than many other people. You gain understanding and are able to convey a more complete vision to listeners.

Tonight: As if there is no tomorrow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Remain centered, even if it means not answering calls. You have much to do and do not need any distractions.Tonight: You do not need to go far.

problem. Am I too old to keep on referring to my uncles as uncles?

I talked to my older brother about this, and he hasn’t a clue what to do. I love my relatives and don’t want to hurt their feelings. So what is the correct form of address? — Eagerly Awaiting in California Dear California: This is a matter of personal choice. Your Uncle Bill obviously wants to be “just Bill,” but your “Aunt Mary” might love that you still use the full title. Many people stop using “Aunt” or “Uncle” when they reach adulthood. Since this has not been the case in your family, please ask each relative for his or her preference. (We suspect most of them won’t care ACROSS either way.)
