Annalise Nawrocki’s six-year path to a doctoral degree in ecology and evolutionary biology concludes this weekend, but the journey was anything but normal.

Paulyn Cartwright, her adviser and an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said Nawrocki’s path to a doctorate stood out for several reasons.

First, the very start wasn’t typical. Nawrocki had worked as a scientific writer in the phar- KANSAS maceutical UNIVERSITY industry right after earning her undergraduate degree — in molecular biology and genetics with a minor in English literature — from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. The real tests for her, though, began three months after starting the program and eight months into her marriage with her husband, Cory Hills.

That’s when he climbed a ladder in the attic and fell 10 feet onto his head while trying to dislodge some Christmas lights from a crawl space.

The fall fractured his skull and caused a brain hemorrhage in the front part of his brain.

And so Nawrocki was

Nawrocki said she received some help from family members and got some relief at the lab, too.

In the meantime, Nawrocki earned a Self

Wandering peafowl near I-70 turning some heads

TOPEKA — Senate President Steve Morris on Wednesday sent back to committee an anti-abortion bill, citing concerns about what the proposal’s effect would be on the accreditation of the Kansas University Medical Center.

“I have consistently voted pro-life,” said Morris, R-Hugoton. “While I will always fight for pro-life values, we must also protect While I will the acc r e d i t a - always fight tion of our flag- for pro-life ship med- values, we ical cen- must also ter.” protect the T h e measure, accreditation which has of our flagbeen ap- ship medical proved by the center.”

House, m a k e s — Senate President numerous Steve Morris, c h a n g e s R-Hugoton to Kansas abortion law.

One of those changes would prevent state employees, including doctorsin-training at the medical center in Kansas City, Kan., from performing abortions on state property or state time.

KU Medical Center officials voiced concerns that the accreditation of its obstetrics and gynecology program would be in danger, and legislators added a provision saying its medical residents could do abortions off-site, on their own time, for a year. But the Medical Center wanted a permanent exception.

Anyone missing a peacock?

One of the colorful bluenecked birds has been the subject of fascination and frustration on the Kansas Turnpike during the past week and a half.

Many motorists have spotted and reported the peacock (technically a peafowl because it hasn’t

been identified as male or female) strutting along the shoulder of eastbound Interstate 70 not far from the Tonganoxie-Eudora exit, said Lisa Callahan, the turnpike’s public relations director.

Maintenance crews and a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper have tried to capture the bird, Callahan said.

“They were not able to get to him,” she said.

Callahan said crews would like to capture the roving peafowl and may try again if a good opportunity arises — both for the bird’s sake and for the safety of drivers who might gawk or swerve should it try to cross the road.

Peafowl are indigenous to Asia, but it’s common for people on small Kansas farms to keep a few of the birds on their prop-

Miller said that was possible, or that maybe the bird simply wandered off from its home.

Either way, it probably has a decent shot at surviving in the wild, Miller said.

“I think they’re fairly wary animals,”’ he said.

HOW THEY VOTED Here is how area House members voted on the tax cut measure sent to Gov. Sam Brownback: For Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City.

It also would provide funds for local property tax relief and allow the state sales tax to decrease from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent as scheduled.

But a larger tax cut package was waiting in the wings — one that the Senate in March had killed but moderate Republicans, after lobbying by Brownback, reversed course and voted for, simply to put a bill into the House-Senate tax conference committee so that negotiators could work on various proposals.

But before the Senate could start debate Wednesday on the HouseSenate conference committee bill, Brownback urged House Republicans to concur with the larger tax cut bill that had been approved by the Senate.

That produced angry words during debate in the House from moderate Republicans and Democrats, but the motion was approved 64-59 with only Republican votes. At one point, House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, cut off opponents who were trying to explain their vote.

Meanwhile, across the rotunda in the Senate, Morris, supported by a 2315 vote, shut down debate on the conference committee tax bill, a move that raised the ire of conservative Republicans.

Later, Morris said the conference committee

A school administrator in Texas with ties to Kansas will be the new principal at Sunflower next year.

Howard Diacon was named to the position Wednesday, pending board approval. Diacon has spent the past eight years as principal of Holbrook Elementary, a school of 1,000 pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade students with a bilingual education program.

In Kansas, Diacon has served as an elementary school principal at Shawnee Heights and Peabody for 17 years. He also taught elementary school in Stockton and Blue Valley for four years.

In a press release, Superintendent Rick Doll said that Diacon would bring a “wealth of knowledge and experience” and would be a “great fit” for the school.

Sunflower kindergarten teacher Julia SchnurLaughlin said that Diacon has been successful in diverse populations and is passionate about children and learning. Sunflower is a neighborhood site for students in the English as a Second Language program.

Diacon will replace Sue Hosey, who resigned last month to pursue other professional opportunities.

O’Neal said the House vote was necessary to get the Senate to eventually approve the tax conference committee bill.

Supporters of the bill say it will boost the economy and create jobs.

“This is without question in my mind the biggest impactful bill that we will have passed in a long, long time,” said state Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, and chairman of the Senate tax committee.

But critics of that bill, including independent tax study groups, say it is tilted toward the wealthy at the expense of low-income Kansans.

BRIEFLY Today’s Westside Lawrence Farmers’ Market has been called off until further notice.

The market would have taken place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. But the shopping center recently changed hands, and the center is no longer making the space available for the market, said Ellie Garrett of the Lawrence Farmers’ Market.

The downtown Lawrence markets, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, are not affected.

Garrett said the market hoped to find a new Thursday location and announce it soon.

She noted that the Cottin’s Hardware Farmers Market, 1832 Mass., would be open as usual from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Biosecurity facility gets $75M in budget Funding for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to be built in Manhattan overcame one hurdle Wednesday as $75 million in construction funding was included in a proposed budget from within the House of Representatives.

The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security released its fiscal year 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations bill Wednesday, which included the $75 million for NBAF. It brings the federal funding commitment for NBAF to a total of $165 million.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, RKan., voiced support for the bill in a media release, saying, “I am pleased that the House Appropriations Committee has once again recognized the dire need for NBAF in our efforts to fulfill this responsibility to the American people.”

just a pretext to closing it. If you are only open four hours, your revenue and mail volume will go down, and then they’ll say we need to close the post office.”

Wednesday’s announcement was part of a new plan by the U.S. Postal Service to cut about $500 million a year from its budget.

Last July, the Postal Service said it was considering closing about 3,700 small post offices across the country. Postal leaders said they now have

The cost to start and run an ambulance service in Eudora would be more than a $1 million — a number that Douglas County Commissioners will have to weigh against a $2.4 million budget shortfall.

At Wednesday’s County Commission meeting, Douglas County management intern Caitlin Stene laid out the cost of providing ambulance service to the city of about 6,400 people.

After a 2010 manageCOUNTY ment audit of Eudora’s COMMISSION fire department, the city sent a letter to the county asking for collaboration in providing ambulance service.

Currently when there is an ambulance call in Eudora, the Lawrence station at 2128 Harper St. responds. It takes between 11 and 15 minutes for crews to arrive in Eudora.

A crew of first responders, who are trained in first aid but can’t provide life support, often arrive on scene before the EMS crews.

If there was an ambulance in Eudora, response times throughout most of city would be five minutes or less.

At the meeting, commissioner Jim Flory questioned if that 11- to 15-minute response time to Eudora would be that much different than the times for south or southwest of Lawrence.

The startup cost to provide an ambulance and other equipment to a Eudora station would be about $370,000.

The annual operating cost to cover EMS personnel, supplies and other expenses would be about $662,000.

Lecompton post office will stay open but with reduced hours

ONLINE: See a list of the affected post offices at LJWorld.com

The Lecompton post office will remain open under a new plan announced Wednesday, but it and more than 300 other rural post offices in Kansas will have their operating hours dramatically reduced.

In a budget-cutting plan announced Wednesday, the U.S. Postal Service said it will cut the operating hours of the Lecompton post office from

eight hours a day currently down to four hours a day in the future.

Access to post office boxes in the building would remain unchanged, but the facility’s retail window would be open only half a day. The leader of a group who had fought against a possible closing of the post office said he still was “mystified” at the Postal Service’s decision.

“This is supposed to be for communities that are dying, and that certainly is not Lecompton,” said local resident Paul Bahnmaier. “This is

Public gives 2 cents on top health issues

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Residents gave their two cents about Douglas County’s top health issues, and they said limited access to mental health services was the No. 1 concern.

“So critical to thousands,” “We need a mental health ward in our hospital,” and “When you need mental health help, you need it now” were some of their messages.

About 60 people attended a 90-minute public forum Wednesday afternoon at the Community Health Facility that was hosted by the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department. During the first hour, they heard about the results of a 38page Community Health Assessment that was released last week by the health department.

The assessment identified 13 areas that were of concern to residents.

Now, the department is holding public forums to narrow down the list.

“The rubber will hit the road after this is over with,” said Paul Liechti, health department board member. “Right now, we are gathering all of this information so that we can prioritize these priorities or at least get a priority amongst these. I think we will look at the interconnectedness and whether we can work on some of them simultaneously.”

At the forum, there were 13 poster boards that had an area of concern written on them, and there was a glass jar nearby. Participants were given two pennies and then asked to place them in the jars of most concern. They also were given yellow sticky notes to write down their concerns and then place them on the board.

Here’s their list from the highest priority to the least followed by the number of votes each received:

Inadequate access to mental health services: 11

Poverty and few job opportunities: 9

Insufficient access to health care and other services: 9

Limited knowledge of available health and other services: 8

Inadequate access to affordable nutritious food: 8

Limited access to safe and affordable housing: 6

Abuse of alcohol: 6

Lack of physical activity: 6

Disparities in health outcomes and quality of life: 4

Inadequate transportation linking people to services, jobs and recreation: 3

abandoned that plan. Instead they are planning to reduce the hours of about 13,000 rural post offices across the country.

The Lecompton post office was the only one in Douglas County affected by the announcement. But 362 post offices in Kansas were on the list released Wednesday. In the Lawrence area, the post offices in Linwood and Williamsburg will have their hours reduced to four hours a day. The post office in Pomona will have its hours reduced to six hours per day.

A press release issued by the Postal Service indicated the reduction in hours would take place in phases between September and September 2014. The Postal Service did not indicate whether hours would be cut in the morning, the afternoon or in combination.

U.S. Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, who represents Lecompton and the Second Congressional District, said in a statement she was pleased the

Public health forums The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has scheduled several public forums to discuss the findings of its Community Health Assessment. The remaining ones will be:

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

May 16 — 7 p.m., Baldwin City Library, 800 Seventh St.

May 17 — 7 p.m., Lawrence’s Community Health Facility, 200 Maine.

To view the full report, visit the health department’s website at ldchealth.org.

Postal Service had backed off the plans to close offices but was still concerned.

“The decision to close nearly 100 rural post offices in the Second District is hardly welcome news,” said Jenkins, R-Kan. Jenkins said she thinks it is possible Postal Service issues related to retirement and health care funds can be changed to allow the service to operate “without unnecessarily targeting our rural communities.”

Some Lecompton leaders said the decision clearly was a mixed bag.

“It is better than having it shut down entirely, but I still have concerns,” said Lecompton Mayor Mark Tunstall. “I’m still paying the same for their service.

They’re not going to reduce their prices. They’re just going to make it harder to mail a letter at Christmastime.”

Douglas County Senior Services executive director resigns Douglas County Senior Services, which provides services that allow seniors to stay independent and in their homes, is without an executive director.

He said staff members have been handling the dayto-day operations until they hire an interim director, which he expects to take place this week. Massey said former Lawrence City Manager Mike Wildgen has

accepted the position, and a meeting has been set for Friday to hammer out the details. Wildgen will oversee the operations of Douglas County Senior Services, which has nine full-time employees and a $970,000 budget. Its services include meals, exercise classes, tax assistance and transportation, and it serves about 3,500 individuals.

“In our opinion, he’s the right person for the job,” Massey said. Wildgen also has served as interim director at Watkins Community Museum of History,

the Lawrence Humane Society and Lawrence Public Library, and as an interim city administrator for the city of Eudora. He serves on the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees.

Wildgen was out of town at a conference Wednesday and could not be reached for comment.

Roberts became executive director in July 2011; she replaced John Glassman who resigned in April 2011 to pursue other career opportunities. Roberts said she could not comment.

Q:

Why can’t Lawrence public works warn citizens about chemical spraying with visible signage at all entrances to the levee trails BEFORE they spray?

A:

LAWRENCE A convicted sex offender who escaped from Lansing Correctional Facility three weeks ago was back in custody Wednesday afternoon.

Gary Leslie Furthmyer, 59, was taken into custody about 2 p.m. in Kansas City, Kan., according to the Department of Corrections.

He was taken to Wyandotte County Jail before being returned to the correctional facility Wednesday.

According to the Department of Corrections, more than a dozen tips were called into the Crime Stoppers TIPS hotline, one of which led directly to Furthmyer’s capture in the 600

• Seven Lawrence High School students were disciplined after they were accused of trespassing before 1 a.m. Wednesday at the school, 1901 La., as part of a thwarted senior prank, said Julie Boyle, a Lawrence public schools spokeswoman.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said an officer at 12:53 a.m. Wednesday observed subjects entering the school, and other officers arrived to help. Officers made contact with some of the seven students there and others fled.

A school resource officer then helped conduct an investigation to determine the seven students entered the building as part of a school prank.

Police took a report although the building was not damaged and nothing was taken, McKinley said.

Boyle said LHS administrators were notifying parents of the seven students and initiating disciplinary action in accordance with school board policy.

• Subsonic Scooters, in the 600 block of N. Second St., reported a $4,600 pickup truck stolen from its lot on Tuesday, according to police reports.

• A 27-year-old Lawrence man reported that his television, computer and some other items, totalling $2,750 in value, was stolen from the 900

When he escaped, Furthmyer was serving a six- to 25-year sentence for a 1985 conviction on indecent liberties with a child and aggravated failure to appear in Sedgwick County.

He also escaped Department of Corrections custody in 1988 and was returned to custody in 1993.

He previously served time in Texas and Louisiana before returning to Lansing in 2005 on a parole violation.

She gave a research presentation in Germany to scientists from across her field, and though she was nervous at first, once she got done with the presentation, she just wanted to go do it again.

“It was a very exhilarating experience,” she said.

She also earned a doctoral dissertation improvement grant from the National Science Foundation for her research.

The job market is still a little rough for tenuretrack posts now, Nawrocki said, but she’ll be headed to Pomona College in California for a postdoctoral research post.

Obama voices support for gay marriage Announcement first of its kind by sitting president

a margin of roughly 2-1, while Republicans opposed it by an even bigger margin. Among independents, 57 percent expressed support, and 40 percent were opposed.

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On the fence no longer, President Barack Obama declared his unequivocal support for gay marriage on Wednesday, a historic announcement that gave the polarizing social issue a more prominent role in the 2012 race for the White House.

The announcement was the first by a sitting president, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney swiftly disagreed with it. “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman,” he said while campaigning in Oklahoma.

Gay rights advocates cheered Obama’s declaration, which they had long urged him to make. Beyond the words, one man who married his gay partner in Washington, D.C., was stirred to send a $25 contribution to the president’s campaign. “Making a contribution is the best way to say thank you,” said Stuart Kopperman.

A personal position Obama revealed his decision after a series of events that made clear the political ground was shifting. He once opposed gay marriage but more recently had said his views were “evolving.”

In an interview with ABC in which he blended the personal and the presidential, Obama said “it wouldn’t dawn” on his daughters, Sasha and Malia, that some of their friends’ parents would be treated differently than others. He said he also thought of aides “who are in incredibly committed monogamous same-sex relationships who are raising kids together.”

Obama added that he thought about “those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf, and yet feel constrained even though now that ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ is gone because they’re not able to commit them-

DAVID PETERS, RIGHT, AND LUKE WHITED, A GAY COUPLE who were joined in a civil union in their home state of Illinois, show their rings inside the Bourbon Pub, a gay bar, after being interviewed about President Obama’s statement of support of gay marriage Wednesday in New Orleans.

Ending months of equivocation, Obama declared his support for gay marriage, the first U.S. president to do so. selves in a marriage.”

The president said he was taking a personal position. Aides said the president’s shift would have no impact on current policies and he continues to believe that marriage is an issue best decided by states.

“I have hesitated on gay marriage in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient,” Obama said in the interview. He added, “I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word ‘marriage’ was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth.”

Now, he said, “it is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that same-sex couples should be able to get married.”

He spoke on the heels of a pair of events that underscored the sensitivity of an issue that has long divided the nation.

Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview on Sunday that he is completely comfortable with gays marrying, a pronouncement that instantly raised the profile of the issue. White House aides insisted the vice president hadn’t said anything particularly newsworthy, but gay rights groups cited Biden’s comments in urging the president to announce his support.

On Tuesday, voters in North Carolina — a potential battleground in the fall election — approved an amendment to the state con-

stitution affirming that marriage may only be a union of a man and a woman.

Additionally, several of the president’s biggest financial backers are gay, and some have prodded him publicly to declare his support for same-sex marriage.

Senior administration officials said Obama came to the conclusion that gay couples should have the right to legally marry earlier this year and had planned to make his views known publicly before the Democratic National Convention in early September. They conceded that Biden’s comments accelerated the timeline, but said the vice president’s remarks were impromptu and not part of a coordinated effort to soften the ground for a shift by the president. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal White House deliberations.

As recently as eight years ago, conservatives in several states maneuvered successfully to place questions relating to gay marriage on the election day ballot as a way of boosting turnout for President George W. Bush’s re-election.

Now, nationwide polling suggests increasing acceptance of gay marriage. In a national survey released earlier this month, Gallup reported 50 percent of those polled said it should be legal, and 48 percent were opposed.

Democrats favored by

Political fallout Whatever the polls, the political crosscurrents are tricky, and administration officials conceded as much.

Some top aides argued that gay marriage is toxic at the ballot box in competitive states like North Carolina and said the vote there this week shows that opposition to the issue is a rallying point for Republicans.

Shifting his emphasis, even briefly, could open Obama up to Republican criticism that he is taking his eye off the economy, voters’ No. 1 issue.

Yet some prominent gay donors have said publicly they wanted Obama to announce his support for gay marriage. Other Democratic supporters claim Obama’s decision could energize huge swaths of the party, including young people. He also could appeal to independent voters.

By day’s end Wednesday, the Obama campaign had emailed a clip of the interview and a personal statement from the president to its vast list of supporters, drawing attention to his stance.

The decision also creates an area of clear contrast between Obama and his Republican rival as he argues that he’s delivered on the change he promised four years ago.

Obama said he sometimes talks with college Republicans on his visits to campuses, and while they oppose his policies on the economy and foreign policy, “when it comes to same sex equality, or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality. They are more comfortable with it.”

Obama said first lady Michelle Obama also was involved in his decision and joins him in supporting gay marriage.

“In the end, the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people,” he said.

Poll: Women, blacks behind president WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s popularity among women, minorities and independents is giving him an early edge over his likely GOP rival, Mitt Romney, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

The Democratic president also earns strong marks on empathy, sincerity, likeability and social issues. But Americans are split over which candidate can best handle the economy, which might open pathways for Romney six months before the November election.

Half of registered voters say they would back Obama in November, while 42 percent favor Romney, the AP-GfK poll found. About a quarter of voters indicated they are persuadable, meaning they are undecided or could change their minds before Election Day. Forty-one percent of voters say they are certain to vote for Obama, and 32 percent say they are locked in for Romney.

The nationwide poll of 1,004 adults comes as Romney is focusing heavily on fundraising after gaining endorsements from of all but one of his GOP rivals, and conservative voters are reminding politicians of their muscle.

On Wednesday, Obama endorsed gay marriage, a sign that he is eager to fire up young and liberal

voters even if it costs him some support in battleground states such as North Carolina, which he narrowly won in 2008.

In the AP-GfK poll, Americans give Obama an edge over Romney on numerous attributes, but handling the economy is a key exception. The public is divided over whether Obama or Romney would do a better job on the issue that strategists say will dominate the fall election. Forty-six percent prefer Obama on this topic, and 44 percent prefer Romney.

BALDWIN CITY

Bus service available for seniors

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

Douglas County Senior Services has made a bus available for use in Baldwin City, but it will be up to the community to determine how well it can serve the city’s seniors.

Tina Roberts, resource development manager for Douglas County Senior Services, said she was part of a committee of Baldwin City service providers and interested residents who met the past two years to identify social service needs in the community.

“The one thing that kept coming up was senior transportation,” she said.

“People just can’t get to where they need to go.”

To help fill the void, Douglas County Senior Services has provided a wheelchair accessible, 10-passenger bus for use of those 60 years of age or older, Roberts said. It is the same bus a Baldwin City resident with the agency, Jackie Lorenzen, used to provide very limited service in the past, Roberts said.

The agency will provide insurance and the tag for the bus, and the community will provide volunteer drivers and pay for its fuel and maintenance, she said.

Bill Neuenswander, who is leading the local effort, said the goal was to start the service by June 1. He envisioned the bus providing rides to locations in Bald-

win City as often as twice a week and making a weekly trip to Lawrence for shopping and other needs. Special outings to such locations as Lone Star Lake also might be offered, he said.

“I would think most of the trips would be in Baldwin City or to Lawrence,” he said. “We will be permitted to go anywhere in Douglas County. We’re not insured to take the bus out of Douglas County.”

But just what can be offered will depend on the number of residents who join him in volunteering to drive the bus, Neuenswander said. He has found a volunteer to take calls to schedule rides, he said.

Neuenswander said he would approach local busi-

ness and the city for fuel and maintenance funds so that the cost to riders can be kept low.

“I think the charge in Lawrence is $3 for a ride in town and $10 for a ride out of town and $10 for a ride back,” he said. “I want to get donations so we don’t have those kinds of charges for people with restricted incomes.

“I don’t see us needing a great deal of money, but we will need some.”

Roberts and Neuenswander said they and other supporters would have fundraising events for the service in the near future.

To make a donation or to volunteer to drive the bus, call Neuenswander at 785-594-3559.

MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS! Judge: Child can testify via video in sex case

A Douglas County judge Wednesday ruled a 7-year-old alleged victim in a Eudora sex crime case could testify via video feed at the trial out of the presence of the defendant.

Mother’s Day gift don’ts: dish gloves, Cougar shirts

By Leanne Italie

NEW YORK — What were they thinking? Through plastic smiles or gritted teeth, moms have to suck it up sometimes when Mother’s Day means a gifted toilet, unsolicited wash tub or anti-aging cream.

It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day if some mom somewhere wasn’t disappointed or downright piqued at gift time. Many aren’t looking to break the bank, though the National Retail Federation expects Americans to spend $19 billion on the holiday this year.

But unrequested sex toys?

A chainsaw?

Dave Hochman learned the hard way last year when he presented his five-years-older wife with a “Cougar” T-shirt, a freebie from a client, no less.

“While she does have a great sense of humor, let’s just say it wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had,” said Hochman, in Monmouth, N.J. Glenna Tooman’s uhoh moment was when her now-grown son, Bill, was 10 or 11. He disappeared on his bike in Boise, Idaho, only to return with a Mother’s Day gift that kept on giving, a tiny bunny.

“I was very surprised.

It’s the last thing you’d expect for Mother’s Day,” she said. “He spent his allowance money on it. We named him Garfunkel. We had him for years.”

A rabbit might be better than what a good chunk of moms surveyed in March by the website Cafemom received last year — absolutely nothing. And, while

Governor recall election will be a rematch

By Scott Bauer Associated Press

MADISON, WIS. — The Democrats’ hope for ousting Scott Walker is a lowkey, well-liked Milwaukee mayor whose last brush with fame came when he interceded in a fight outside the Wisconsin State Fair and got badly beaten with a tire iron.

With less than a month before the June 5 recall election, it will take all the political muscle Tom Barrett can muster to knock off the Wisconsin governor, who has become a national hero to conservatives and a fundraising powerhouse.

Barrett’s recall challenge is a rematch of the 2010 governor’s race. In the 18 months since the two men last appeared on the ballot together, Wisconsin has descended into political chaos fueled by Walker and his aggressive attack on collective bargaining for public-sector workers.

The governor’s foes collected more than 900,000 signatures to force the election, which is only the third gubernatorial recall in American history. Now it’s up to Barrett to bring home enough votes to remove Walker.

Turnout in Tuesday’s primary topped 30 percent, the highest for a primary in Wisconsin since 1952. Barrett, who defeated three Democratic opponents, gave an impassioned speech to supporters, saying he would heal Wisconsin after more than a year of turmoil.

“He’s fired up,” said longtime friend Kathy Smith, who was neighbors with Barrett for 11 years around the 1990s. “He’s just got this fire in his belly. He wants it.”

BECKY JACKSON, POSES MAY 6 WITH A RIFLE she received as a Mother’s Day present at her ranch in Lewiston, Mont. vacuums have come a long way in design and efficiency, they still ranked among the worst Mother’s Day gifts ever received.

So do unrequested sex toys, guys. Like the vibrator an exhausted Ashley Largent — home with a 7-month-old — got for her first Mother’s Day in 2004, from her now ex-husband.

“That was the only present I ever received from him for Mother’s Day,” said Largent, in Gaffney, S.C. “After that I told him that I didn’t want anything.”

In San Francisco, Heddi Cundle joked that her mother back home in England hasn’t quite forgiven her for a particular Mother’s Day gift: A plastic wash tub with dish gloves and a scrub brush, all from the dollar store.

Said her mom, Bev Cundle, in Leeds: “What can I say? How does a mother smile through gritted teeth. A wash-

ing bowl in blue, not my favorite color, a square shape to fit in a round sink! And a brush to clean out mugs. How do you make it disappear?”

Becky Jackson has no use for fussy spas, flowers or jewelry. She lives on a ranch in Lewistown, Mont., and her jaw dropped a few years ago when her husband presented her with a long, nicely wrapped cardboard box that screamed longstem roses.

“I tried to hide my disappointment as I slowly undid the ribbon and wrapping paper, trying to figure out how, after almost 20 years of marriage to my rancher husband, he still didn’t know I wasn’t big on flowers,” Jackson said.

Inside was a new .22-caliber rifle, “perfect for packing around on my four-wheeler to help rid our ranch of pesky critters,” she said.

Saudis emerge as key ally against terrorists Double agent helped foil underwear bomb plot

Associated Press

Thursday, May 10, 2012

WASHINGTON — A decade after hijackers mostly from Saudi Arabia attacked the United States with passenger jets, the Saudis have emerged as the principal ally of the U.S. against al-Qaida’s spinoff group in Yemen and at least twice have disrupted plots to explode sophisticated bombs aboard airlines.

Details emerging about the latest unraveled plot revealed that a Saudi double agent fooled the terror group, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, passing himself off as an eager would-be suicide bomber. Instead, he secretly turned over the group’s most up-to-date underwear bomb to Saudi Arabia, which gave it to the CIA. Before he was whisked to safety, the spy provided intelligence that helped the CIA kill al-Qaida’s senior operations leader, Fahd al-Quso, who died in a drone strike last weekend.

The role of Saudi Arabia disrupting the plot follows warnings in 2010 from the oil-rich kingdom about a plot to blow up cargo planes inside the U.S., either on runways

or over American cities. That plot involved a frantic chase across five countries of two packages containing bombs powerful enough to down an airplane.

Twice, a bomb was aboard a passenger plane.

Once, authorities were just minutes too late to stop a cargo jet with a bomb from departing for its next destination. Ultimately, no one died and the packages never exploded.

It hasn’t always been this way.

Saudi Arabia, the onetime home of Osama bin Laden, failed to spot and stop the 15 Saudi-born hijackers of the 19 who carried out the September 2001 terror attacks.

Questions remain whether two Saudi citizens who had at least indirect links with two of the hijackers were reporting to Saudi government officials. U.S. law enforcement officials accused the Saudi government of failing to help adequately in investigations of the alQaida attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 and Hezbollah’s bombing of the Khobar Towers housing complex, which killed 19 U.S. servicemen in 1996.

But a series of devastating al-Qaida strikes against Saudi targets in 2003 and more recently, fears alQaida could try to trigger Arab Spring-style revolts in the kingdom, has energized the Saudi government in its war against alQaida’s spinoff in Yemen,

which is composed mostly of ex-Saudi militants. Saudi Arabia and the U.S. — with help from Yemen’s government — have joined forces to penetrate the terror group at the highest levels.

Drone strikes have killed U.S.-born Anwar alAwlaki last summer and al-Quso, his successor, more recently.

Al-Quso personally briefed the Saudi double agent, giving him openended instructions to pick a U.S.-bound plane on a day of his choosing. Al-Quso was hit in part due to information gleaned from the doubleagent, according to two former officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to preserve their ability to discuss details of current intelligence matters with current officials.

FBI Director Robert Mueller said Wednesday that the FBI is examining the new al-Qaida bomb and urged Congress to renew wide-ranging surveillance authority to thwart similar terrorism plots.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable A judge overturned a nearly $10,000 small claims judgment against American Honda Motor Co. that was won by a car owner who said the automaker misrepresented that her hybrid Civic could get 50 miles per gallon, according to a ruling released Wednesday.

Superior Court Judge Dudley W. Gray II ruled Tuesday on Honda’s appeal of a court commissioner’s award of $9,867 to Heather Peters.

Gray’s ruling found, among other things, that Peters had standing to bring the case in state court, but it’s actually federal regulations that govern fuel economy ratings and related advertising claims.

Hairstyling pioneer Vidal Sassoon dies

By Sandy Cohen Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Vidal Sassoon used his hairstyling shears to free women from beehives and hot rollers and give them wash-and-wear cuts that made him an international name in hair care.

When he came on the scene in the 1950s, hair was high and heavy — typically curled, teased, piled and shellacked into place. Sassoon Then came the 1960s, and Sassoon’s creative cuts, which required little styling and fell into place perfectly every time, fit right in with the fledgling women’s liberation movement.

Sassoon died Wednesday at age 84 at his home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, police spokesman Kevin Maiberger said.

Officers were summoned to the home at about 10:30 a.m. and found Sassoon dead, Maiberger said. His family was with him. Officers determined Sassoon died of natural causes, and there will be no further police investigation.

“My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous,” Sassoon said in 1993 in the Los Angeles Times, which first reported his death.

“Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn’t have time to sit under the dryer anymore.”

His wash-and-wear styles included the bob, the Five-Point cut and the “Greek Goddess,” a short, tousled perm — inspired by the “Afro-marvelouslooking women” he said he saw in New York’s Harlem.

Paul Mitchell’s son Angus Mitchell, who co-owns the hair-care product business his father founded and is a prominent hairstylist in his own right, said Sassoon’s simple-butdynamic system forever changed the business because it could be replicated anywhere.

“Vidal was like Christopher Columbus,” Angus Mitchell, who studied under Sassoon, told The Associated Press Wednesday. “He discovered that the world was round with his cutting system. It was the first language that people could follow.”

Celebrity stylist and Madison Avenue salon owner Oscar Blandi said Sassoon made him fall in love with the hair business and showed him the “true art of styling.”

“He truly changed the world of hair and beauty,” Blandi said in an email to the AP. “He was definitely the most innovative person ever to enter the industry. He led the way for the celebrity stylists of today.”

Keeping track As a recent report highlights, it’s time for a national registry for sex offenders and a uniform reporting system.

W

hen a sex offender in Kansas moves from the state and doesn’t register his new address, he becomes the concern of the U.S. Marshals Service, which enforces sex-offender laws across state lines.

It’s common for sex offenders to not re-register when they move, as a Journal-World investigation last September found. According to the report, more than 160 Kansas sex offenders did not register in their new state, and, depending on the state, that could be a federal or state crime.

The Journal-World provided the Marshals Service with the list it had compiled for Kansas, and over the past several months agents have been tracking down the sex offenders who have failed to register in their new state.

The Marshals Service found some of the offenders had died or moved to states with different registration laws that did not require them to register.

What is left is a list of 22 cases, four of which have led to arrests for other offenses, and the suspects could face additional failure-to-register charges.

Two others are serving in the U.S. Army, which, according to the Marshals Service, is aware of both men’s sex-offender status.

The Marshals Service is searching for several other offenders who have failed to register.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, which is responsible for the Kansas Sex Offender Registry, sends letters to states notifying them that a registered sex offender is entering their state. But after that, it’s up to the other state and the offender to make sure they comply with the new state’s law. If there isn’t any communication, neither the state nor the Marshals Service would be aware of the sex offender’s status.

As Laura Ahearn, executive director of Parents for Megan’s Law and the Crime Victims Center, a nonprofit organization that advocates for more accountability in sex offender registries nationwide, says, “We’ve established a law that requires society’s most cunning of criminals to register on an honor system.”

The Marshals Service spent valuable time tracking down the 160 names on the Journal-World’s list, basically picking up the states’s slack. The service should be commended for its work.

Now it’s time for a national sex offender registry and a unified reporting system. Inconsistent laws among states make keeping track of sex offenders too complicated, which, in turn, endangers an uninformed public.

Libyan missiles a serious problem WASHINGTON — Whenever the CIA uncovers a new plot overseas, like al-Qaida’s latest scheme to blow up civilian aircraft using advanced, hard-to-detect explosives, people breathe a sigh of relief. But this is a multifront war, and almost by definition, the attack that gets you is the one you didn’t see coming.

For the past few months, I’ve been hearing private warnings about another threat to commercial planes: namely, the spread of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from Libya after the overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi’s regime. A State Department official said in February that Gaddafi had acquired 20,000 of these weapons, and that only 5,000 of them had been secured through a $40 million U.S. program to buy up loose missiles.

“How many are still missing?” asked Andrew Shapiro, assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs, in his Feb. 2 speech. “The frank answer is we don’t know and probably never will.”

Here’s the scary part: Two former CIA counterterrorism officers told me last week that technicians recently refurbished 800 of these man-portable airdefense systems (known as MANPADS) — some for an African jihadist group called “Boko Haram” that is often seen as an ally of alQaida — for possible use

“

I wonder why nobody was listening when the former CIA officers began ringing the alarm bell.” against commercial jets flying into Niger, Chad and perhaps Nigeria.

The former CIA officers have been trying for eight months to alert U.S. intelligence, without success.

Here’s a summary of the messages I’ve seen.

On Sept. 9, 2011, as Gaddafi’s regime was collapsing, one of the former CIA officers warned an FBI contact that Libyan missiles were moving south into the Agadez region of Niger inhabited by Tuareg tribesmen, who are believed to have links with al-Qaida.

He explained to the FBI contact that an Arab source “said there are SA-7s and SA-24s (two Russian-made weapons) already on the ground in Agadez from Libya in the hands of Tuareg AQ affiliated groups.” He heard nothing back.

In a Sept. 12 email, the former CIA officer wrote his

FBI friend that the Niger contacts “have determined locally that the USG doesn’t want to help them” chase down the missiles. “I suspect NE (Near East division of CIA) squashed this by their normal bureaucratic warfare,” he speculated.

The CIA veteran still hoped U.S. intelligence would get involved, so he provided the name and telephone number of a relative of a former Libyan intelligence officer who allegedly had helped move the missiles out of the country. On Sept. 15, he also sent the FBI contact phone numbers for the Arab source in Niger who was closely monitoring the missile movements.

On Sept. 28, the frustrated ex-CIA officer wrote a U.S. military contact: “The missiles are in the hands of alQaida and being distributed.

I would really like to know who in the agency was the roadblock and why.”

Still, the former CIA officer heard nothing back. In December, he wrote another FBI contact that a “speed bump” at the agency apparently was blocking communication.

Finally, in late April, the two former CIA officers received information so urgent they felt they had to get it out, somehow. They sent to a law enforcement contact a picture of a rebel fighter aiming one of the Libyan missiles, and this explanation: “The missiles and munitions that have been streaming

out of Libya since the fall of 2011 have made their way to Agadez in Niger and points west. ... Boko Haram has taken possession of some of the refurbished missiles. They have brought Egyptian army ordnance technicians to refurbish and test the SA-7B missiles pictured below. ...

The source claims that some 800 missiles are available in the area.”

Last weekend, the CIA veterans finally heard from someone claiming to represent their former employer.

The agency official was interested in talking to their Arab source.

When I asked senior U.S. officials for comment, they said they hadn’t heard about the specifics of this case, or the email exchanges. But they agreed the Libyan missiles are a serious problem.

“It’s probably true that a small number of Libyan MANPADS have been sold on the black market, and that al-Qaida in the Maghreb is trying to acquire them,” said a senior U.S. official.

The White House commissioned an interagency task force last fall to hunt for the Libyan missiles. “This is going to be a long-term risk mitigation effort, to buy down the risk,” the senior official explained. That sounds sensible enough, but I wonder why nobody was listening when the former CIA officers began ringing the alarm bell.

To the editor: I am reminded of the importance of good city planning in the recent go-rounds of meetings regarding the proposed hotel project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. The plan has changed multiple times. Following codes and regulations is critical to effective city planning.

The more that individuals and developers view them as variable, the less seriously they are taken. Effective city planning is diminished and the “tail wags the dog.” It would be refreshing to see initial projects presented to the city that follow all related city codes and guidelines, saving the city and community much time, energy and money.

Does it make sense to locate a too-large hotel directly behind a valued historic residential block? While downtown has to have a mix of offerings, planning the expansion of the area should be carefully considered for both social and economic impacts. A city is a delicate ecosystem with many variables. To thrive it should balance and honor these variables. Plans by the same developer have also been discussed to develop property across the street.

East Lawrence residents view this site as a better location for a hotel.

As public funding will be expected for such large

projects, it is important that the public be adequately informed and involved.

Better to slow down the development process, take time for careful downtown planning and work with city neighborhoods. A balanced perspective may help all see a better planning picture. There are a lot of smart, talented community members that are a valuable resource when given the opportunity to fully participate. The city might end up with a spectacular project versus one that is disappointing.

Stay out of it To the editor: The governor is cutting out abortion and birth control money without proper legal procedure for votes among the pro-life groups and Catholic hospitals. This is why there should be separation of church and state.

Neither the church nor the government should get into family planning unless they plan on bringing up the children as well.

Does the governor cut out tax money for Viagra or vasectomies? He cuts out SRS funding from the state budget even if the disabled are wards of the STATE. Abortion clinics should not be targets for bombing either. Who needs terrorists? Poor or victimized

women are victims of sex crimes or diseases. Isn’t this against the Roe vs. Wade law leaving the medical decision between the woman and her doctor? Is the governor breaking another law?

Meanwhile, the media is pointing out how unfair the women of India or Pakistan are being treated.

Mary Ann Kieffer, Lawrence

Congratulations To the editor: I want to congratulate the Kansas House of Representatives on a job well done. In the past few days they have put out a lot of special, highly important things.

They’ve debated in committee the destructive and insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21 (cue the music from “Plan 9 from Outer Space”). Never mind it’s a nonbinding resolution; we have to be against it because it smacks of rampant environmentalism.

They passed and sent to the Kansas Senate some of the most restrictive antiabortion legislation in the country. Lance Kinzer, a leading anti-abortion representative, hopes the Senate will take the bill up and pass it quickly. This, because the governor’s pen is dripping ink ready to sign it and make it a state law.

Women, you do realize that if this law passes, your doctor can outright lie to

you and you will have no recourse? In essence, if the governor signs it, then it will protect unethical medical practices.

These are but two of the things that have come before deciding on a redistricting map so we will know who our choices are when we vote. It’s not at all important for us to know what district we’re in when we vote.

That falls behind Agenda 21, anti-abortion legislation and (Secretary of State) Kobach’s laws.

Yes, congratulations to the Kansas House. You have once again demonstrated to the country and to the rest of the world just how backward, parochial and adolescent Kansas is. Thank you.

Well done.

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Gill left recruiting abyss The inevitable roster upheaval that occurs when coaching changes take place in college football makes it particularly difficult to try to forecast starters, just shy of four months from the season-opener.

But for the purpose of looking at Turner Gill’s impact on the Kansas University football program during his two-year stay, let’s give it a try.

Since it’s probably as common as any of the many personnel groupings head coach/offensive coordinator Charlie Weis will deploy, let’s go with one running back, one tight end and three wide receivers.

Here’s a guess at the 11 offensive starters: Quarterback Dayne Crist, running back Tony Pierson, receivers D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson and Kale Pick, tight end Jimmay Mundine, left tackle Tanner Hawkinson, left guard Duane Zlatnik, center Trevor Marrongelli, right guard Gavin Howard, right tackle Riley Spencer.

That’s nine Mark Mangino recruits, one Charlie Weis recruit (Crist) and one Turner Gill recruit (Pierson, one of three impressive Gill running back recruits).

Two possible forecast crashers would be receiver Josh Ford and tight end Charles Brooks, junior-college transfers recruited by Weis.

Ford’s a 6-foot-4, 195-pound burner who could make a long deep target for Crist.

Brooks, 6-4, 245, has played more basketball than football, which doesn’t make him the next Antonio Gates, but does make him intriguing.

Guessing the 11 defensive starters presents a stiffer challenge, not just because coming up with 11 non-stiffs requires digging deep into the roster.

The forecast: hybrid defensive ends/linebackers Toben Opurum and Michael Reynolds; defensive end Josh Williams, a 6-4, 260-pound high-ceiling athlete who ran out of his welcome in four years at Nebraska and gets a fresh chance to prove to NFL scouts he has matured, learned his lessons, isn’t a knucklehead, etc.; juniorcollege defensive tackles Jordan Tavai and Ty McKinney; linebackers Anthony McDonald, a Notre Dame transfer, and Schyler Miles, a freshman block of granite from Florida; safeties Lubbock Smith and Bradley McDougald; cornerbacks Greg Brown and Tyler Patmon.

That’s five Mangino recruits, five Weis recruits (McDonald, McKinney, Miles, Tavai and Williams) and one Gill recruit (Reynolds).

Gill and his staff did draw kudos for recruiting quarterback Brock Berglund (never played a down), running back Darrian Miller (sent packing for multiple team-rules violations) and safety Keeston Terry (transferred to a lessdemanding program).

Lew Perkins hired Gill largely because he thought he would ensure the student-athletes would have a “positive” college football experience and because he thought Gill would upgrade recruiting. Two of the 22 projected starters are Gill recruits. Oh well, at least they were the offensive and defensive MVPs of the spring game.

LHS, FSHS expect ‘dogfight’ rematch

FREE STATE’S ALEX GREEN WATCHES A SHOT FROM THE FAIRWAY on the fifth hole. Green placed second at the Lawrence Invitational on Wednesday at Alvamar Golf Course.

Familiar Firebird Green 2nd

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Alvamar Golf Course might not be the Free State High boys golf team’s home stomping grounds, but junior Alex Green knows the course well enough to give guided tours.

A member at Alvamar, Green entered Wednesday’s Lawrence Invitational feeling relaxed.

He thought: “Why not just play it like I do every day?”

By the time all the score cards were handed in, Green’s 72 stood as the second-best round at the tournament, just two strokes behind champion Chase Hanna of Shawnee Mission East.

“This is my course,” Green said after shooting even par.

“

Green said. “But overall it was

This is my course. This a great day.” is my bread and butter.”

Green’s 72, the best score — Free State’s Alex Green, on Alvamar Golf Course “This is my bread and butter.”

His familiarity showed with a strong start, as the Firebirds’ top golfer went par, birdie, par on his first three holes. Green had a couple bogies on the front nine, which frustrated him. But when he finished the front at 1-under, he thought he might break 70. A couple more bogies on the back nine prevented him from pulling off that feat.

“If I would’ve made some more putts within 10 feet, who knows what I could’ve shot,”

among city golfers by eight strokes, helped him finish sixth overall in the Sunflower League’s season standings.

FSHS coach Matt Gudenkauf said Green had an outstanding day, bouncing back from an 82 on Monday at Leavenworth.

“He has had a great season,” Gudenkauf said. “And it’s about time that he shot what he’s really capable of.”

As a team, the Firebirds finished 10th at the invitational with a score of 319 — 25 strokes behind champion SME. Lee York and Colin Becker each posted an 80, while Wilson Hack and Max Soto both Please see GOLF, page 3B

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll, like his Free State High counterpart, Mike Hill, has occupied a dugout seat for every city showdown game played between LHS and Free State.

Formerly an assistant to Hill at FSHS, Stoll has seen too many of the rivalry games to think the Lions’ 3-1 victory over the Firebirds on Monday will have any bearing on Game 2 — 7 tonight at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“We feel like we’ve got a little momentum beCITY cause the kids feel SHOWDOWN good,” Stoll PART II said, “but I’ve known Who: LawMike Hill for rence (11-8) a long, long vs. Free time, and State (8-11) he’ll have baseball that group of guys ready to When: 7 tonight go.”

LHS (11- Where: 8) will have Hoglund a different Ballpark look in the rematch.

While the Lions won’t have left-handed ace Garrett Cleavinger on the mound (senior Cameron Solko is scheduled to start), they will have senior center fielder CJ Roush back in the lineup after he missed Game 1 because of an injury.

Though Lawrence beat FSHS (8-11), Firebirds pitchers Ryan Cantrell, Jacob Caldwell and Sam Hearnen held LHS to only three hits Monday.

“You’ve got to give their pitching staff a lot of credit, man, because they threw three different dudes, and you could never really get in a rhythm,” Stoll said.

Junior Lawrence third baseman Shane Willoughby said his team should have swung the bats better, and he expects “another dogfight” in the rematch.

“They’re gonna test us as much as they can,” Willoughby said, “and we’re gonna bring everything we’ve got at them.”

If Free State wants some old-fashioned revenge, sophomore third baseman Cameron Pope said the Firebirds, who also had just three hits Monday, will have to be more productive at the plate.

“We’ve got to execute in key situations,” Pope said, “when we’ve got runners in scoring position.”

Chen gets win; Royals solve Red Sox KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Bruce Chen can relax a bit — he’s in the win column.

Chen, the Royals’ opening day starter, picked up his first victory of the season Wednesday night as Kansas City held off the Boston Red Sox, 4-3.

Alcides Escobar drove in the go-ahead run as the Royals solved Jon Lester for the first time in a while. Jonathan Broxton worked around a leadoff single and walk in the ninth inning for his seventh save in eight opportunities.

The Royals were winless in Chen’s first six starts this year, although he had been pitching deep into games.

“You try not to think about it,” Chen said. “You try not to let it bother you, but at the end of the day you have no wins, and it’s almost the middle of May. “I know I’ve been pitching well. I didn’t worry. I didn’t try to do too much. I trust my stuff, my teammates. Today was a huge win. Even though it’s in the win column for me, but I feel like the whole team contributed.”

The Royals finished 4-3 on their homestand against Boston and the New York Yankees. The Red Sox have lost seven of eight.

Chen (1-4) gave up three runs and seven hits in 62⁄3 in-

nings while striking out five and walking none.

“That’s the first time in a long time I felt like we were firing on all cylinders, facing a guy that’s been extremely tough on us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“Clutch hitting, clutch pitching. I thought Bruce threw a tremendous game. They had seven hits and five were off the end of the bat or jam shots that just found holes or hit the line. And to get four runs off Orlin Wagner/AP Photo Jon Lester was huge. It was good to finally beat him.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Miami knocks out Knicks in five The Associated Press

Heat 106, Knicks 94 MIAMI — LeBron James decided not to play in New York two summers ago. He won’t be playing there any more this season, either.

The Knicks have been put away, and the Miami Heat are headed to the second round of the NBA playoffs.

James had 29 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade both scored 19 points and the Heat ousted the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference firstround series Wednesday night.

Miami won the series 4-1, and will meet Indiana in the East semifinals starting Sunday in Miami. “We will savor this win tonight,� James said. “And then we get to work tomorrow and get ready for Indiana.�

Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points for the Knicks, including a spinning jumper over James at the end of the third quarter that pulled New York within 81-67.

It wasn’t enough to stave off an all-too-familiar playoff result for Anthony, who was chosen two spots behind James and immediately ahead of Bosh and Wade in the 2003 NBA draft.

Anthony has been in 11 postseason series, winning just two, the won-lost record of his teams in those games a mere 17-37.

Amare Stoudemire scored 14 points before fouling out, Landry Fields and J.R. Smith both scored 12 and Tyson Chandler grabbed 11 rebounds for New York.

Stoudemire fouled out with 4:48 left, and the Knicks put together one more run with hopes of saving the season. New York cut the margin to 11 points four times in a 2-minute span, and Miami answered every time, the last of those a 3-pointer by Shane Battier with 54 seconds left.

MIAMI’S SHANE BATTIER, LEFT, AND NEW YORK’S Carmelo Anthony battle for a loose ball. The Heat defeated the Knicks, 106-94, on Wednesday night in Miami.

That sent the white seat covers flying in all corners of the arena, the fans knowing it was finally over.

ACC, ESPN agree on television extension through 2026-27 The ACC and ESPN have extended their television deal through the 2026-27 season.

A person familiar with the agreement told the Associated Press that it’s worth $3.6 billion over the 15 years. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because financial terms weren’t released when the two sides announced the deal Wednesday.

The deal comes ahead of the planned additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse from the Big East and would represent a 33-percent increase in TV money for each league school from the previous deal unveiled nearly two years ago. ACC commissioner John Swofford said the deal was “another step forward� for the league and “certainly bodes well in terms of our future.�

The deal gives ESPN title sponsorship rights beyond football to the ACC’s other championships, including men’s and women’s basketball. Those sponsorship deals are subject to the ACC’s approval.

The extension comes eight months after the ACC announced it would add Pitt and Syracuse, though it remains unclear exactly when those schools will leave the Big East and begin play in the ACC. It also comes as the league moves to an 18-game schedule in men’s and women’s basketball despite having just 12 teams next season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Delany: No non-champs ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, who has floated ideas for how a four-team college football playoff should be set up, said Wednesday that any new format shouldn’t include a team that doesn’t win its division. “I don’t have a lot of regard for that team,� Delany said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. “I certainly wouldn’t have as much regard for that team as I would for someone who played nine conference games in a tough conference and played a couple out-of-conference games on the road against really good opponents. If a poll doesn’t honor those teams and they’re conference champions, I do.�

Alabama finished behind LSU in the SEC West last season, but the Crimson Tide got a spot in the Bowl Championship Series title game and beat the Tigers. Delany insisted he isn’t pushing for a particular format to be implemented for the 2014 season. He said a proposal that would put four conference champions, ranked among the top six, into the four-team playoff was simply an idea he discussed last week in Chicago.

NCAA eyes UK recruit NEW YORK — The New York Times is reporting that the NCAA is looking into Nerlens Noel, a top prep recruit who has committed to play at national champion Kentucky next season.

The newspaper said that two members of the NCAA enforcement staff went to Everett, Mass., this week to inquire about the 6-foot-10 Noel, who attended Everett High School for two years but is now at the Tilton School in New Hampshire.

Seals joins Tulsa staff TULSA, OKLA. — Shea Seals, the former Tulsa standout whose NBA career was cut short by a knee injury, is returning to the Golden Hurricane to serve on new coach Danny Manning’s staff.

Manning announced Wednesday that he has hired Seals as the director of player development and team manager. He says Seals will be a mentor to Tulsa’s players, incorporate life-skills opportunities into the program and reach out to the community.

The 36-year-old Seals had his No. 21 jersey retired at Tulsa, where he holds the school’s career scoring record and played on Golden Hurricane teams that went to the NCAA Tournament four straight years in the mid-1990s.

Baylor’s Griner breaks wrist WACO, TEXAS — Brittney Griner has a broken right wrist sustained in a longboard accident.

Coach Kim Mulkey told the Associated Press that the 6-foot-8 All-American center would be in a cast for four weeks.

The school released no other details Wednesday about the injury. Mulkey first revealed Griner’s injury while attending an awards banquet in New York City on Tuesday night.

Griner withdrew from consideration to play for the U.S. women’s basketball team at the London Olympics this summer.

Grizzlies 92, Clippers 80 MEMPHIS, TENN. — Marc Gasol scored 23 points, and Zach Randolph added 19 as Memphis avoided elimination by beating the Clippers, forcing a Game 6 in the Western Conference first-round series.

With Gasol and Randolph scoring early, the Grizzlies looked like the team that knocked off top-seeded San Antonio last spring and took Oklahoma City to seven games in the conference semifinals.

Game 6 is Friday night in Los Angeles. If the Grizzlies can win, Game 7 would be Sunday back in Memphis.

Rudy Gay added 14 points for Memphis.

Mo Williams had 20 points for the Clippers, while Chris Paul scored 19 and Blake Griffin had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

He was pronounced dead at Harrington Hospital in Southbridge a short time later, according to a release from D.A. Joseph D. Early Jr.

Rivera has blood clot NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera has a blood clot in his right calf, the latest health problem for the longtime New York Yankees closer who tore a knee ligament last week while shagging fly balls during batting practice.

Rivera is on blood-thinning medication intended to dissolve the clot and says he is OK, though he was scared when he received the diagnosis. He needs to spend at least a week or two strengthening his knee before he has surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament — but he says that would have been the case regardless of the blood clot.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Did UF give KU a boost?

J-W Staff Reports

Only time will tell, but it looks as if recent developments could help Kansas University in its pursuit of former University of South Carolina forward Damontre Harris.

Harris, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound junior-to-be out of Fayetteville, N.C., is expected to choose this week between KU and Florida. However, Florida on Wednesday was deemed by some analysts a favorite now to land Dorian FinneySmith, a 6-8, 195-pound sophomore-to-be from Portsmouth, Va., who has

announced plans to leave Virginia Tech.

Finney-Smith, who was ranked No. 31 nationally in the high school Class of 2011 by rivals.com, averaged 6.3 points and 7.0 rebounds while logging 29.0 minutes a game a year ago for Tech. He reportedly was upset at having to play power forward instead of wing. Harris, another power forward who was ranked No. 64 in the Class of 2010, averaged 6.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 25.9 minutes a game last season at USC. Finney-Smith has yet to release a list of schools.

ESPN’s Dave Telep re-

ported on Twitter that Florida and Marquette figure to be factors, with KU, VCU and Villanova possibly getting involved.

Both players will have to sit out next season in accordance with NCAA rules.

KU’s basketball team is slated to play four games on a foreign tour to Switzerland and Paris from Aug. 5-14, according to an e-mail from KU’s Williams Fund. The Jayhawks will play games against the Swiss National Team on Aug. 7 and 8 in Switzerland and games against the French Pro Club on Aug. 11-12 in Paris.

finished at 87 strokes.

Hunter Dedloff shot an 88.

“They left a lot of shots out there,” Gudenkauf said.

Lions finish 15th Lawrence High, playing on its home course, couldn’t keep up with Free State. The Lions’ 339 team score (15th place) was 20 strokes behind the Firebirds.

For the second tournament in a row, LHS was without its No. 1 golfer, senior Logan Henrichs.

LHS coach Dirk Wedd said Henrichs was unable to play due to disciplinary action at the school.

With their teammate out, the rest of the Lions were bumped up a slot.

Brett Van Blaricum played as a No. 1, Cole Cummins became No. 2, Narito Mendez was No. 3, Connor Henrichs served as No. 4 and Taylor Grob and Nick Andrews rounded out the Lawrence lineup.

Though they were playing in better groups than usual, Cummins and Connor Henrichs each shot 83.

Connor Henrichs, a sophomore, said it wasn’t unusual for Cummins, a junior, to play that well.

He couldn’t say the same for himself.

“I’ve been struggling lately, or pretty much throughout this whole season with golf,” Connor said. “So this was nice today.”

Montana Samuels couldn’t have agreed more.

“One run’s not gonna get it done,” he said.

Hill knows Free State has to get better offensively. He has said as much throughout the season — after losses and wins.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The Royals beat Lester (1-3) for the first time since Aug. 8, 2006. The lefthander came into the game with a 5-1 record and 1.30 ERA in seven career starts against Kansas City, including a no-hitter in 2008.

Escobar’s double in the fourth Irving Falu, who led off the inning with a double, to put the Royals ahead 4-3.

Lester’s pitch count rose early with a 38-pitch first inning, but 12 of those were after center fielder Marlon Byrd’s error led to three unearned runs.

Lester was pulled after 108 pitches and five innings, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk.

Youth football camp: The Lawrence/Free State youth football camp will be Monday, June 25 through Wednesday, June 27 at Lawrence High School. The camp is for children in third through eighth grades. Fliers on the camp have been distributed to city elementary and middle schools.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S COLE CUMMINS WATCHES HIS DRIVE from the No. 6 tee box during the Lawrence Invitational on Wednesday at Alvamar Golf Course.

Cummins was happy to see Connor Henrichs have some success and couldn’t complain about his 83, either, considering this is his first year on the team.

“I feel like I could’ve shot a lot better,” Cummins said, “but it’s not awful.”

Van Blaricum finished with an 86, and Mendez shot an 87. Andrews finished at 102 and Grob at 109.

Cummins said Van Blaricum just had an off day.

“He’s usually our most consistent player,” Cum-

mins said. “It was a big surprise.”

Wedd said each of Lawrence’s golfers had to adapt to their new roles, without Logan.

“It’s hard when you’re used to playing (as number) two or three,” the coach said, “and all of the sudden you’re playing one or two.”

Both Lawrence and Free State will compete in a Class 6A regional tournament Monday at Eagle Bend Golf Course.

day. The coach said the Firebirds, particularly the younger players, learn something every time they take the field.

“They need to come out here and play, and they need to fail on the field,” Hill said. “You can teach and teach at practice, and we’ve gotten better from that, but getting out between the white lines is really the key to being able to become a better player.

Our kids need that.”

A junior, Caldwell is scheduled to be Free State’s starting pitcher tonight.

The rematch is the regular-season finale for both teams.

Butler, who had walked, to score.

Brayan Pena then hit a two-run double to left-center that Cody Ross nearly caught. Ross had his glove on the ball, but it came loose and hit the wall. Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine debated Ross held onto the ball long enough — the umpires held a conference on the field, but did not change the ruling.

“It hit his glove, then popped out and bounced off the wall,” Valentine said. “It’s not a catch unless you get it out of the glove voluntarily.”

“The ball on Marlon really took off on him. It was tough on Jon — they scored three runs. Cody went a long way, caught it and popped out of his glove. He’s frustrated. He battled. He wanted to go out and pitch the sixth.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Jays pack punch against A’s The Associated Press

Blue Jays 5, Athletics 2 OAKLAND, CALIF. — Adam Lind hit a two-run homer after being demoted from the cleanup spot before the game, and J.P. Arencibia and Edwin Encarnacion each hit a solo drive to help Toronto beat Oakland.

Brandon Morrow (4-1) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings and won his fourth straight start, outpitching Tyson Ross in a match-up of former college stars from nearby California who were 2006 teammates. The Blue Jays right-hander went 232⁄3 innings without allowing a run before Jonny Gomes hit an RBI single in the fifth.

Rays 4, Yankees 1 NEW YORK — Matt Joyce hit a three-run homer off fill-in closer David Robertson in the ninth inning, falling down on a twisted ankle as he finished his swing, and Tampa Bay rallied to beat New York.

In his first chance since taking over for injured star Mariano Rivera, Robertson escaped a basesloaded jam to save Tuesday night’s 5-3 victory over the Rays. But one night later, New York got a chilling dose of real-life reality without Rivera.

57 Adult tadpole

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 11 years. We have three young children and a great relationship.

We recently decided to move from Boston to Georgia. My husband, children and I believe it is the right choice. The problem is my motherin-law. Right now, we live within a mile of her.

She is devastated that we are moving and is blaming me. She says I am taking her son away from her and that we are making a big mistake.

When I pointed out the exciting professional and personal opportunities available to us, she said we are being rash.

Our decision is the product of much discussion and analysis over the past two years. Others have not been privy to those conversations, so I understand why my mother-in-law thinks we are rushing things.

Is there any way to

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

get my mother-in-law to focus less on how this affects her and more on the positive impact it will have on her son and grandchildren? It’s hard for my husband because she is framing it as a choice between his wife and his mother. — Ready To Go in the Northeast Dear Ready: For 11 years, your mother-inlaw has had her son and grandchildren within walking distance. Please try to understand that the move is not only a shock to her, it is breaking her heart. And while

Season finales pick up speed Seasons end for five series tonight. Howard and Bernadette rearrange their wedding vows to make way for a NASA space launch as “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS) wraps up its fifth season.

Jeremy makes a fateful decision on the third season finale of “The Vampire Diaries” (7 p.m., CW), already renewed for another season. Dark magic emerges on the first season-ender for “The Secret Circle” (8 p.m., CW). The fate of this spell-casting melodrama has yet to be determined. But “Circle” is not among the lowestrated series on CW, where the threshold for success and survival is pretty minimal. ‘‘The Office” (8 p.m., NBC) ends its eighth season with Andy bent on a corporate coup.

Even big fans of this series know it has gone on for at least two seasons too long. I admire James Spader’s peculiar comic audacity.

His character, Robert California, is just as incompetent as Steve Carell’s departed Michael Scott, but without the demented warmth or obvious desperation. California is sweaty, paunchy and too arrogant to know or care he’s in over his head. Some of us have had bosses like him, so maybe that’s why I find this year’s “Office” more terrifying than entertaining.

CBS has canceled several series that had far higher ratings than “The Office.” But given NBC’s lack of hits, we’ll probably be returning to Scranton next fall. ‘‘Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC) also concludes tonight, with an election night drama. This odd documentary-style comedy is not for every taste, but it has steadily improved over the years, and it has succeeded in transcending the stardom of its lead, Amy Poehler. It has become a showcase for other talents — including Nick Offerman as the gruff Ron Swanson and Aubrey Plaza, whose responsibilityevading April projects a hilariously blank disdain for humanity.

I’m no soothsayer, but I’d predict a return for “Parks” as well.

Tonight’s other highlights

Mandatory therapy on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

Emotions roil as Becca tries to flee the continent on “Missing” (7 p.m., ABC).

A conspiracy from Finch’s past looms large on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

A Brazilian street musician enchants a beautiful woman on “Touch” (8 p.m., Fox).

A missive from Red John marks a dark anniversary on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

A disturbing dream may strand our hero in only one “reality” on “Awake” (9 p.m., NBC).

you see opportunity, she sees uncertainty.

Your husband should be the one to talk to his mother about this decision. Simply reassure her repeatedly that you will remain as close as possible, that you will visit as often as you can and welcome her to your new home, and that the kids will Skype or FaceTime with her daily so she can see them. It will take her a while to get used to the idea, and she will always miss you, but things will eventually settle down.

Hang in there.

Dear Annie: I am a former Catholic. In my 20s, I left the church and eventually admitted to myself that I am an atheist. Except for those who share or respect my convictions, my relatives and friends don’t know this.

The problem is, I get many emails of a religious nature with the request that I forward them to others. I take them in the spirit in

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 10: This year you carry key projects and goals to completion. You have always been a steady captain of your ship, and this year you are even more so. If you are single, you could meet someone who offers you a lot of what you want. If you are attached, your sweetie may long for some silliness. Why not?

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) You make your point with ease. How others respond at first might be very positive, yet one person will prove to be unusually difficult. Tonight: have a discussion with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You see beyond what others see. At times, this ability could seem to be a problem, in that others do not get what you are saying and quickly discard your view. Tonight: Organize any upcoming plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and you will have an opportunity to gain a broader perspective. Please note that when you don’t give one person enough attention, he or she can become quite difficult and touchy.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Others demand to hear your point of view. You might not want to share as much as you need to. Tonight: Among friends, anything can happen.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Slow down and complete whatever you must. You easily could be overwhelmed by a situation that keeps popping up. Tonight: Put your feet up.

which they are offered, but I can’t support a philosophy I don’t believe in. So far, I have resorted to deleting the religious part and forwarding the rest of the message, or I have sent the email back to the senders only.

It grieves me to resort to subterfuge, but I do not want to alienate the senders, especially my relatives. I don’t have many left. — Brooklyn Dear Brooklyn: You are taking these emails way too seriously. You are under no obligation to pass along what most people consider spam.

Your religious beliefs or lack of them are no one’s business. Forward what you like, ignore what you don’t, return to sender or do anything else that clears your inbox and doesn’t anger the relatives.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Where others fail, you seem to come in with ease and a solution. Will others follow your lead?

You will not know until you get to that moment. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Stay close to home. You’ll gain a certain level of comfort as a result. Tonight: Make togetherness the theme.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overwhelmed by everything that comes up. In fact, you hear so many different points of view and encounter so many diverse situations, that you might decide to split early for the weekend. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel as if you are the only person who is aware of the costs of proceeding according to plan. Others seem overly optimistic.

Tonight: Your treat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your personality fills in many gaps, and your efforts finish a project. Others might be a bit too dependent on you. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might realize that you are sitting on a ticking time bomb.

With any luck, the storm clouds will disappear if you say little. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Use this day as if there were no tomorrow. You could be surprised by how much you can achieve when you are left to your own devices. Tonight: Where people are.
