Lawrence community memorializes sacrifices

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Veterans groups and members of the Lawrence community came together Monday at local cemeteries to honor those who sacrificed themselves for their country.

At the Lawrence Veterans of Foreign Wars ceremony, Felix Zacharias, an Iraq War veteran,

said he appreciated the support from those at the Memorial Day ceremony.

“As long as we can have assemblies such as these, our flag can keep flying, as it has been and as it must forever be,” he said.

The American Legion Dorsey-Liberty Post 14 also hosted a ceremony at 10 a.m. at Oak Hill

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama paid tribute Monday to the men and women who have died defending America, pointing to Vietnam veterans as an under-appreciated and sometimes maligned group of war heroes who remained true to their nation despite an unwelcome homecoming.

The weight-loss study is the brainchild of KU researcher Christie Befort, 37. She’s researching how to costeffectively help rural breast cancer survivors lose weight and then maintain it.

She said Befort studies have shown that women who are overweight and women who gain weight after diagnosis have an increased risk for breast cancer recurrence and worse prognosis compared to women with a normal body weight. Additionally, the obesity rate is Please see PROGRAM, page 2A

Breast cancer survivor Pat Cashatt received a letter that intrigued her. It was from a Kansas University Medical Center researcher who wanted to know if she would be interested in participating in a study on weight loss.

“I had fought weight all of my life, so I filled it out and sent it in,” she said. “I didn’t think it would work, but I thought it was worth a try.” Cashatt It was a sixmonth study that provided Cashatt with a weight-loss regimen that included nutrition, exercise and support.

She lost 45 pounds during the study, which ended one year ago. Since then, she’s kept the weight off.

“I feel better than I’ve felt in years,” said Cashatt, 72, a retired high school business teacher. “I’ve gotten off of all my medications. I have more energy and everything. So I’m really high on this program.”

Cemetery before the VFW ceremony at Memorial Park Cemetery at 11 a.m.

VFW Post Commander Fred Shockey III said the group came together not only to honor the lives lost by the service members, but also the lives lived.

“The courage possessed by the men and women we are honoring today cannot be taught,” he said.

Therman Wolfe, of Perry, and Sam Hall, of Lawrence, both Vietnam War veterans, attended the VFW’s ceremony.

Wolfe, a former VFW post commander, said he noticed that many of the people participating in this year’s ceremony were of a younger generation, many of whom had served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“It all passes on,” he said.

“They did a wonderful job.

They’re our future, and they had a lot to say that was very poignant. ... It was an honor to behold it.”

The VFW ceremony continued with a partial “avenue of flags,” after a VFW trailer with about 300

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVERS GATHER for a flag ceremony at Oak Hill Cemetery on Monday. flagpoles had gone missing from the post’s property.

Shockey said the group was able to put up about 25 flags for the ceremony after receiving financial support from the Lawrence Sertoma Club, Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home and various anonymous donors after an article in the JournalWorld earlier in the week.

Westlake Ace Hardware also helped out by working to secure the necessary hardware for the flags to be displayed, Shockey said.

Members of the VFW post volunteered on Saturday to ensure the flags would be set up in time.

The post is continuing to try to raise $8,500 to replace all 300 poles for next year’s ceremony.

Though the flags served as an important reminder for all who entered the cemetery, Shockey said, they weren’t the most important part of the ceremonies on Monday.

“I don’t think it was ever about the flagpoles,” Shockey said. “It was about families coming out and grieving for their loved ones.”

tional Cemetery across the Potomac River from the capital, Obama noted that for the first time in nine years, “Americans are not fighting and dying in Iraq,” and the nation was winding down its role in the conflict in Afghanistan.

“After a decade under the dark cloud of war, we can see the light of the new day on the horizon,” Obama said to an audience gathered at the Arlington amphitheater lined with American flags under a warm, brilliant sun.

In this election year, Obama said the nation must remain committed to providing for the families of fallen soldiers and help returning service members seeking a job, higher education or health care benefits.

“As long as I’m president, we will make sure you and your loved ones will receive the benefits you’ve earned and the respect you deserve,” Obama said. “America will be there for you.”

Obama said sending troops into harm’s way was “the most wrenching decision that I have to make.

And I can promise you I will never do so unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

As he seeks re-election, Obama has reminded audiences about the end of the war in Iraq and the move to bring all troops home from Afghanistan by 2014. And in a campaign ad released last week, he credits U.S. servicemen who helped in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

higher among rural women than urban.

Befort received a $30,000 grant from the American Cancer Society for her pilot study, and KU provided $5,000. She enrolled 35 women who lived near Hays, Pittsburg and Salina, including Cashatt, who lives in Beloit, about 65 miles north of Salina.

All of the women had been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past 10 years, had finished their treatments at least three months earlier and were considered overweight or obese with a Body Mass Index between 27 and 45.

During the study, they were placed on a 1,200-to1,500 calorie plan that consisted of two shakes, two prepackaged entrees and five one-cup servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

They started with 45 minutes of exercise per week and worked up to nearly four hours per week. They received support by participating in weekly conference calls with the other women, a dietitian and clinical psychologist. Each one lasted at least an hour. Participants kept track of their activities and weight on forms, which were mailed in on a weekly basis.

“The women were amazing and very motivated,” Befort said. “We had really great results.”

Collectively, the group lost 14 percent of its starting weight.

The results of the study were so impressive that Befort recently landed a $3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute for a five-year study to expand her research.

She’s currently enrolling 208 women who fit the same criteria. The women will be enrolled for 18 months instead of just six months, and there will be two phases to the project instead of one.

Befort said the first

KU RESEARCH STUDY phase will be similar to the pilot study where the women will receive the diet and exercise regimen for six months. Then they will be randomly assigned a maintenance program where they will either participate in biweekly conference calls or get biweekly newsletters.

“So both of those approaches are low-tech and low-cost. Our primary endpoint is looking at prevention of weight gain from six to 18 months,” Befort said.

Once she proves the most effective tools in helping breast cancer patients with weight management, the goal would be to make it widely available; perhaps insurance companies would help cover the costs. Ultimately, it could save lives.

Jill Sittenauer, regional communications director for the American Cancer Society, said the nonprofit organization looks for researchers like Befort who are in the early part of their careers and need some funding to get started.

“We look for the people who haven’t been proven yet, who have the unique, different ideas and then they do it, and they do it so well that they get big federal funding, which is what everybody wants,” she said.

Forty-six researchers who have received American Cancer Society funding have gone on to win the Nobel Prize, the highest accolade of scientific achievement. The American Cancer Society, or ACS, also has helped provide funding for research that has led to major breakthroughs such as:

mammography to screen for breast cancer.

lumpectomy plus radiation for treatment of breast cancer.

Kansas University researcher Christie Befort is seeking breast cancer survivors who live in rural areas to participate in an 18-month weight-loss study.

Sittenauer said ACS is the second-leading funder of cancer research; it’s second only to the federal government. Last year, it invested $148 million in cancer research. There currently are ACS grants worth a total $2.5 million that have been given to KU researchers.

Sittenauer said the American Cancer Society is only able to fund 20 percent of the research applications that it receives. It then has a “Pay If” list of researchers. If they receive more donations than expected from events like Relay For Life, then whoever is at the top of the “Pay If” list will get funded. She said Tamoxifen, a drug that’s used for prevention and treatment of breast cancer, was once on that list.

She added that it’s not just researchers and scientists who decide which applications get funding — it’s citizens who have a passion for helping people with cancer.

Cashatt, who has been cancer-free for five years after a double mastectomy, said she continues to apply what she learned through Befort’s pilot weight-loss study.

“I’ve just stayed on the program basically. I never felt like it was a diet,” she said. “It was a change in eating habits.”

“They weren’t empty calories. They were good, healthy calories,” she said.

She learned how to cut down on fats and processed sugars, and how to cope with food triggers, among other things.

As for exercise, that wasn’t difficult for her because she is a walker; she just needed to pick up the pace. She wore a pedometer because participants were required to get at least 10,000 steps a day.

She made certain that the new facility was designed with children in mind.

The Kansas Attorney General’s Office completed investigations into 17 complaints against nonprofits in 2011, but few actions were taken by the office tasked with protecting consumers against wayward charities, according to an open records request filed by the JournalWorld.

Citizen complaints about nonprofits ranged from not complying with the No-Call Act, to allegations of unregistered charities collecting donations. Several of the complaints allege noncompliance with state laws, while one complaint was lodged against a charity sued by an attorney general in another state.

The Journal-World looked into the charities named in the complaints, and here are some of the findings:

The American Handicapped and Disadvantaged Workers: Group was soliciting donations in Kansas, though it is not registered in the state as required by state law, nor is it registered with the IRS. The organization also does not appear to have a website or contact information.

Friends and colleagues remembered Lynn Bretz on Monday as a consummate professional who worked hard to tell Kansas University’s story.

Bretz, 62, died on Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer.

She had worked in KU’s office of University Relations, becoming its director in 2002 before being named as KU’s director of University Communications in 2006.

“Lynn was awesome,” said Tom Bretz Hutton, a former director of University Relations at KU from 1990 to 1999.

He said he continued to follow Bretz’s career as she moved up the ranks and gained more responsibility, and he kept up with her as she fought cancer in recent months.

“She was very caring, compassionate,” Hutton said.

“But when she was business, she was business. She was very much a professional and certainly cared about the university.”

PAT PISANI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of Hilltop Child Development Center at Kansas University, sits in with a group of 5-year-old students Wednesday at the center. Pisani, who is stepping down from her post, said overseeing the expansions of the center to provide more and better care was one of her proudest accomplishments as director.

Hilltop leader stepping down

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

When Pat Pisani started working at Hilltop Child Development Center, it was housed in the Wesley Building, an old three-story building east of Smith Hall on the Kansas University campus.

Today, the retiring executive director oversees a facility licensed for 290 children, nearly double its previous capacity. In 2000, the center also moved into its current home at 1605 Irving Hill Road.

“We’ve finally gotten large enough that we can meet the need,” Pisani said.

The child care center was formed out of the February Sisters movement, when women representing faculty, staff and students occupied a campus building in 1972 and made several demands.

One of those was the establishment of a campus child care center. Soon after, Hilltop was born. Forty years later, KU students have priority placement, and then KU faculty and staff, before the center accepts children from the local community.

Pisani said she felt like many people didn’t apply for care at the child care center because they felt they would be placed

at KU, Bretz worked as a journalist, with jobs at Commodity News Services in Leawood and as the arts editor for the Lawrence Journal-World in the early 1980s. She was inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame at KU in 2011.

“Lynn Bretz loved this university and all of the people who call it home.

She was a tireless advocate for KU, always working to make our university a better place,” KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle said in a written statement. “And from her experience as a reporter, Lynn valued the role the media plays in covering a public institution. Lynn was a trusted adviser, dedicated mentor and caring friend to so many, and I offer my deepest sympathies to her family and friends.”

Jane Blocher, executive director of the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross, recalled how Bretz was “a vessel of knowledge and wisdom” for a group of her fellow public information officers in Douglas County.

“I think she personified commitment to her profession,” Blocher said.

“She worked around the clock, seven days a week.

But I never heard her complain.”

Blocher said Bretz’s indefatigable spirit continued into her fight against cancer.

“I think she inspired everybody around her on how to pick up the pieces after an unspeakable tragedy and move forward,” she said.

Bretz was preceded in death by her partner of 30 years, Janet Hamburg, a KU professor of dance, and her parents.

A memorial celebration of her life is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the KU Endowment Association in support of the Janet Hamburg Visiting Artist Series.

down as director soon after Hilltop’s governing board names her replacement. She said she hopes to stay on for a brief time after the new person comes on board to help with the transition.

Heather Grant, a lead teacher at Hilltop who currently teaches 2- and 3-year-olds, has worked with Pisani since the child care center was back in Wesley.

Grant said Pisani was a director that people — staff members, parents or anyone — could approach with any problems they may be having.

“She listens to their concerns and tries to look out for what’s best for all parties,” Grant said.

Pisani enjoys coming into classrooms, working with children and trying

to help however she can, Grant said.

“I hope the next person has as much compassion for the children and is able to handle the whole realm of being a director from children, to parents, to staff,” Grant said.

Pisani said she doesn’t plan on entering full retirement just yet, and hopes to find something that incorporates her other love of biology. But when she leaves, she said she will miss the children most of all.

“They grow up really too fast,” she said. “I keep running into kids who are now in high school and college, and I knew them when they were 2 and 3.”

connected, and it has no contact information on its website.

Three Feathers: Complaint alleged a person was soliciting donations for a nonprofit by this name. However, there isn’t such an organization registered with the state or the IRS. The Attorney General’s Office took no action in any of the above cases and did not respond to requests for more information about the process for investigating complaints against nonprofits. The office investigates nonprofits as part of the Charitable Organization and Solicitations Act. Last year, the JournalWorld began investigating a Tonganoxie-based nonprofit, the Purple Heart Veterans Founda-

tion, and discovered numerous problems with the organization. The founder, Andrew Gruber, spent time in a Kansas prison for theft, and only 11 cents of every dollar donated was actually reaching veterans. After a series of Journal-World stories on the nonprofit, the Military Order of the Purple Heart sued the Purple Heart Veterans Foundation for trademark infringement.

This suit was settled, and Gruber said he dissolved the charity shortly after.

Kansas extends major development incentive

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Legislators extended the life of a development incentive that allowed Kansas to beat out Missouri for Kansas Speedway and Sporting Kansas City.

A bill approved near the end of the last day of the session permits Kansas to authorize bonds for projects backed by sales tax revenues through June 2017. Such STAR bonds helped finance the NASCAR track and the new stadium for the Major League Soccer team, both located in the Village West area at the junction of Interstates 70 and 435 in western Wyandotte County.

Gov. Sam Brownback has until June 4 to decide whether he’ll sign the measure, and his spokeswoman said only that he would review it carefully.

STAR bonds made up the bulk of the $750 million worth of incentives authorized by Kansas and Missouri over the past five years to lure businesses to their respective sides of the Kansas City metropolitan area, according to records obtained from both states. But the bonds also have been used for projects in other areas.

Had lawmakers not acted, authority to issue STAR bonds would have

ended July 1. Some legislators and state and local officials consider the bonds valuable because they’re paid off with sales tax revenues generated within a district surrounding each project. After the state authorizes the bonds, local governments issue them.

Supporters have argued that the revenues backing the bonds wouldn’t exist without the projects — so state and local governments really aren’t giving up any tax dollars.

It’s also a tool Missouri doesn’t have, and using the STAR bonds for a new stadium lured the pro soccer team and also attracted a new office complex for Cerner Corp., a medical computer systems firm.

Two of the company’s executives who are part owners of Sporting Kansas City.

But critics insist state government shouldn’t pick winners and losers in the economy.

Rep. Clay Aurand, a Belleville Republican who voted against the extension, said he’d rather keep taxes low for everyone than favor big, individual projects.

BRIEFLY Body of Kansas Advisory issued soldier returns home for Arkansas River OVERLAND PARK — The remains of an Overland Park soldier who died in Afghanistan returned home on Memorial Day. More than 100 people solemnly greeted the body of Sgt. Michael Knapp when it arrived Monday at Kansas City International Airport.

Knapp and another soldier died May 18 when their unit was hit by enemy rocket fire that also killed three civilians.

He earned several military honors, including the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion (Air Assault), 377th Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Fires Brigade.

The 28-year-old Shawnee Mission North graduate leaves behind a wife and 9-month-old daughter.

Knapp’s family has set a fund for his daughter. Donations are being accepted at any Valley View Bank.

Knapp previously served in Kosovo and two deployments in Iraq.

TOPEKA — Kansas health officials continue to warn people to avoid contact with the Arkansas River from central Wichita south to the Oklahoma border.

The state Department of Health and Environment first issued the warning Friday because of elevated levels of HEALTH bacteria in the water discovered by routine sampling. On Sunday, KDHE said a leak was discovered at a pump station at Wichita’s main wastewater treatment plant. Crews were working to repair the leak and determine how much untreated wastewater entered the river.

The department says that its warning continues for the portion of the river that starts at the bridge over the river for East Lincoln Street and that people should also keep their pets from having contact with the river.

The department says its investigation is continuing.

Russia condemns Syria over massacre of 108

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy and Lynn Berry Associated Press

BEIRUT — A weekend massacre of more than 100 people emerged as a potential turning point in the Syrian crisis Monday, galvanizing even staunch ally Russia to take an unusually hard line against President Bashar Assad’s government.

Analysts said Russia may be warning Assad that he needs to change course or lose Moscow’s support, which has been a key layer of protection for the Syrian government during the uprising that began in March 2011.

Russia has grown increasingly critical of Damascus in recent months, but Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s latest comments were unusually strong. Although he said opposition forces have terrorists among them, he put the blame for 15 months of carnage primarily on Assad’s government.

“The government bears the main responsibility for what is going on,” Lavrov

RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEY LAVROV, RIGHT, welcomes his British counterpart William Hague during their meeting Monday in Moscow. said in Moscow following a meeting with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. “Any government in any country bears responsibility for the security of its citizens.”

Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East expert with the Carnegie Moscow Center, said Lavrov’s comments suggest Russia may be backing away from its long-standing support for Damascus.

It is not clear whether

Assad’s forces were exclusively to blame for the slaughter of 108 people Friday in Houla, a collection of poor farming villages in Homs province. The United Nations said 49 children and 34 women were among the dead; some had bullet holes through their heads.

The U.N. Security Council blamed Syrian forces for artillery and tank shelling of residential areas, but it did not clearly state who was responsible for the close-range shooting deaths and “severe physical abuse” of civilians.

Activists from the area said the army pounded the villages with artillery and clashed with local rebels.

They said pro-government gunmen later stormed the area, doing the bulk of the killing by gunning down men in the streets and stabbing women and children in their homes.

The Syrian government rejected that account entirely, saying soldiers were attacked in their bases and fought back in self-defense without leaving their bases.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

O Former Prime Minister Tony Blair testified Monday that he never challenged the influential British press because doing so would have plunged his administration into a drawn-out and politically damaging fight.

Blair led Britain from 1997 to 2007, and his Labour Party government has been criticized by many, including some of Blair’s former colleagues, as having an unhealthy relationship with the country’s press.

Blair, speaking under oath at an inquiry into media ethics, said the issue wasn’t that he and Britain’s journalistic elite were too cozy, but that he had to tread carefully where press barons were concerned.

Remedial college classes need fixing, experts say

By Heather Hollingsworth Associated Press

OVERLAND PARK — Each year, an estimated 1.7 million U.S. college students are steered to remedial classes to catch them up and prepare them for regular coursework. But a growing body of research shows the courses are eating up time and money, often leading not to degrees but student loan hangovers.

Romney promises world’s strongest military SAN DIEGO — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney promised Monday to maintain an American military “with no comparable power anywhere in the world.”

The likely Republican presidential nominee faced a San Diego crowd estimated at 5,000 in what was billed as a Memorial

Day service paying tribute to the nation’s war dead, not a campaign rally. The appearance came the day before Romney was expected to win enough delegates to claim his party’s nomination, a formality that cements his status as President Barack Obama’s general election opponent.

Without naming his

general election rival on Monday, Romney drew clear contrasts with Obama on the issue of defense.

The Democratic president has proposed reducing the size of the military following the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq and plans to removes troops from Afghanistan at the end of 2014.

“

Simply putting (students) in three levels of remedial math is really taking their money and time with no hope of success.”

— Stan Jones, president of Complete College America with more than 50 percent of students entering twoyear colleges and nearly 20 percent of those entering four-year universities put in at least one remedial course, the report said.

“At the end of the day, if we could say that we are getting more students to graduate, particularly those coming into college without the requisite skills, the investment we have now is worth it,” said Bruce Vandal, director of postsecondary education for the Denver-based Education Commission of the States, a nonpartisan group that researches education policy. “I think the fact that we aren’t getting that result is why legislators and policymakers are up in arms and rightfully so.”

The College Board said last fall that the average instate tuition and fees at fouryear public colleges rose an additional $631, or about 8 percent, compared with a year ago. The annual cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000 — an all-time high.

Legislation passed earlier this month in Kansas prohibits four-year universities from using state funds to provide remedial courses.

Information gap Releasing more information about police complaints would help build public confidence in the department.

T

he city of Lawrence recently did its police department a significant disservice.

In fact, about every year at this time, city officials damage their own department by failing to give the public a detailed accounting of complaints made against Lawrence police officers.

Earlier this month, the Journal-World undertook its annual practice of asking for records related to complaints against police officers. As the city does every year, it denied the request and instead provided a brief summary of the complaints.

Brief, is the key word here. The summaries provide no meaningful description of the allegations or the activity of officers.

The summary does communicate whether the allegations were sustained or found to be without merit, but the descriptions tell nothing about how or whether officers were punished for misconduct.

A summary for one complaint simply states: “An investigation into the interaction between two officers revealed unprofessional conduct. The complaint was sustained.”

Such a sparse description does a disservice to the Lawrence Police Department because it gives the public legitimate reasons to question the professionalism of the police force. What was the nature of this unprofessional conduct? Did the conduct materially affect any investigations? Is a criminal walking the streets today because of this misconduct? Were the officers punished?

History has shown the Lawrence Police Department to be a good organization.

The department, like any police force in the country, has detractors. It always will.

But the city of Lawrence is fueling unwarranted suspicion about the police department by being so vague.

The city says it does not release more information about the complaints because of an exemption in the Kansas Open Records Act related to personnel matters, but that reasoning is questionable. The city could simply provide the descriptions without using the names of the officers involved.

In fact, it takes such an approach when writing a City Commission-mandated report related to the use of Taser devices by police officers. The Taser report provides a much more detailed description of police activity — including when officers have misused the device — and the privacy of police officers hasn’t suffered.

The police department, it seems, simply wants the public to trust that it is doing a good job of overseeing and disciplining officers. It may well be doing a good job in that area, but the American system is not built upon the idea of the public blindly trusting its government. Police leaders should understand this better than most.

They’re not in the business of simply taking people at their word either. If suspects gave such vague answers in the interrogation room, suspicion levels likely would rise with detectives.

Lawrence city commissioners should direct staff members to provide a more detailed summary of police complaints. The Lawrence Police Department has significant issues facing it that will require the support of the public. Already a $30 million police facility has been proposed, and other multimillion dollar equipment and staffing issues are likely to arise.

Now is the time for the city to eliminate questions about the police department, not create them.

Critics may bolster Roberts’ resolve WASHINGTON — In one of his characteristic conniptions about people who frustrated him, Theodore Roosevelt, progressivism’s first president, said of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, “I could carve out of a banana a judge with more backbone than that.” TR was as mistaken about Holmes’ spine as are various progressives today about Chief Justice John Roberts’.

They are waging an embarrassingly obvious campaign, hoping he will buckle beneath the pressure of their disapproval and declare Obamacare constitutional. The crucial question is whether Congress exceeded its enumerated power to regulate interstate commerce when it mandated that individuals engage in commerce by purchasing health insurance.

Justice Anthony Kennedy is generally considered today’s swing vote, but his acerbic first question to the administration’s lawyer during the second day of oral argument changed assumptions: “Can you create commerce in order to regulate it?”

Concluding that Kennedy might be disposed to overturn the mandate, some Obamacare defenders decided that Roberts’ vote will be decisive. They hope to secure it by causing Roberts to worry about his reputation and that of his institution.

Recently, for example, Vermont’s Pat Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, delivered a Senate speech defending the constitutionality of what he calls the “personal responsibility requirement.”

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

The public’s durable deference toward the Supreme Court derives from the public’s recognition that the court is deferential not to Congress but to the Constitution.”

(This is his Orwellian appellation for the mandate, whereby government coercion nullifies personal choice regarding insurance.) After 37 years in the Senate, Leahy probably no longer knows when he sounds insufferably patronizing, as he did when he said that during oral argument he thought Roberts “seemed well aware of the significance of (the Obamacare) decision.” And “I thought I saw a chief justice who understands the importance of this case to all Americans.” And Roberts “seemed to understand” the deference owed to Congress.

Leahy intimated that overturning Obamacare would be as momentous, as divisive of the nation and as damaging to the court as was Bush v. Gore, which he asserts “shook the confidence of the American people in the Su-

preme Court.” But surely a striking fact about that decision is how equably Americans accepted it. This testified to the court’s durable prestige, which is a function of the court’s immunity to pressures from politicians.

Public approval of the court is above 50 percent, that of Congress below 20 percent.

Leahy unsubtly intimated that to avoid “another 5-4 decision” Roberts should emulate “the leadership that Chief Justice Warren provided in the unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education.” It is, however, passing strange to compare the Obamacare case with Brown, implying that a less-than-unanimous decision would be dangerous.

The school desegregation case overturned the social order of an entire region and accelerated the transformation of the nation’s cultural norms.

Obamacare is just an unpopular law enacted by grotesque logrolling (securing three Democratic senators’ votes with the “Louisiana Purchase,” the “Gator-aid” and the “Cornhusker Kickback”). Furthermore, Obamacare passed because grossly corrupt conduct

by Justice Department prosecutors in the trial of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska had cost him re-election.

Leahy tutored Roberts about “appropriate deference” to “the elected branch,” vacuously admonished him to be “a chief justice for all of us,” and absurdly asserted that the mandate is “consistent with the understanding of the Constitution” that “the American people have

had for the better part of a century.” Jeffrey Rosen of George Washington Law School, writing in The New Republic, topped Leahy’s rhetorical extravagance by saying this is Roberts’ “moment of truth” because if the court overturns Obamacare 5-4, Roberts’ “stated goal of presiding over a less divisive court will be viewed as an irredeemable failure.”

Oh? Viewed by whom? Perhaps by people who consider it “ideological” and somehow reprehensible that in the last full term, conservative Justices John Roberts and Sam Alito voted together 96 percent of the time, but who consider it principled and admirable that Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan voted together 94 percent of the time. Likeminded justices agree. So? Why, exactly, would it be less “divisive” for the court to uphold the broadly disliked Obamacare 5-4 than to overturn it 5-4? But whether Obamacare is liked or detested is entirely irrelevant. The public’s durable deference toward the Supreme Court derives from the public’s recognition that the court is deferential not to Congress but to the Constitution.

Concerning which, it is cheeky of Rosen, a liberal, to lecture Roberts about jurisprudential conservatism, which Rosen says requires “restraint,” meaning deference to congressional liberalism. Such clumsy attempts to bend the chief justice are apt to reveal his spine of steel.

OLD HOME TOWN

“The veterans of the Civil war are growing old. They were great walkYEARS ers in their day and AGO marched without IN 1912 faltering over the hills, through water and across the fields but today their steps are slow and they cannot endure the long walks. Tomorrow is Decoration Day on which these old veterans pay tribute to those of their ranks who died in battle and since the war. Each year they visit the cemeteries and decorate these men’s graves.”

Iran, West seek retreat from brink WASHINGTON — It’s a classic case of brinkmanship bargaining: Iran and the West, each seeking to squeeze concessions from the other side, have decided to continue their nuclear negotiations on June 17, a few weeks before a punishing new round of sanctions takes effect.

The deadlock was described at the conclusion of Thursday’s negotiating session in Baghdad by Catherine Ashton, the EU’s chief diplomat and the West’s spokesperson: “It is clear that we both want to make progress, and that there is some common ground. However, significant differences remain.”

What’s the likelihood that this game of chicken will produce an acceptable deal?

A skeptic would say that the chance is probably slim, given the level of mutual mistrust, and the conviction on both sides that the best way to get an agreement is to tighten the screws. But because a military confrontation lies on the other side of diplomatic failure, both sides keep at it.

To try to imagine what a workable solution might look like, I spoke Thursday afternoon to Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a former member of the Iranian negotiating team who is now a visiting scholar at Princeton. I also read his revelatory new book, “The Iranian Nuclear Crisis: A Memoir,” which will be published next month.

Mousavian’s basic argument is that a deal is possible

David Ignatius

“

A deeper point made by Mousavian is that Iran is unlikely to agree to anything if it’s seen as doing so under duress.”

but only if it recognizes Iran’s rights as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. In practice, this means the West must drop its goal of preventing Iran from enriching uranium, which is permitted under the treaty, and instead focus on ensuring that Iran doesn’t build a nuclear weapon.

Mousavian quotes a vow made by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in 2004: “I would resign if for any reason Iran is deprived of its rights to enrichment.”

We might wish that it were otherwise, but I think Mousavian is correct that allowing Iran some enrichment activity is a necessary condition of a deal. Once that right is established, Mousavian thinks Iran would agree to a “zero stockpile” of uranium enriched to the potentially dangerous 20 percent level. As an interim

“confidence-building measure,” Iran would export its stockpile of 20 percent uranium beyond what it needs for domestic civilian use.

A deeper point made by Mousavian is that Iran is unlikely to agree to anything if it’s seen as doing so under duress. This contradicts the established wisdom in Washington, which is that Iran has only come to the table because sanctions are beginning to hurt.

The pressure track seems to me to have provided some leverage, but I also understand Mousavian’s point that Iran “won’t make major concessions under threats.” Successful diplomatic negotiations are always a process in which each side can claim some success, rather than one of demand and capitulation.

It’s useful to view recent negotiating history through Iranian eyes, as Mousavian does. Here’s what this optic reveals: Khamenei in 2005 removed his ban on negotiations with America; Iran in 2009 offered to export to the U.S. its 20 percent enriched uranium, and it renewed this offer with greater specificity in 2010 and 2011; Iran last July accepted a Russian proposal to suspend further enrichment capacity and accept the IAEA’s so-called “additional protocol” for intrusive inspection. The Iranians think they got nothing but more sanctions for these moves.

The more the West has

tried to squeeze Iran, the more the Iranians have done precisely the things that infuriate the West. That may be because they’re determined to acquire nuclear-weapons capability, or because they resist pressure tactics. Either way, recent efforts to constrain Iran haven’t worked.

Mousavian argues that a nuclear deal is within reach, based on the twin of pillars of Iran’s rights as an NPT signatory and Khamenei’s religious edict banning nuclear weapons. But for real security, he contends, Iran and the United States must launch a parallel bilateral negotiation.

As an agenda for these breakthrough talks, Mousavian suggests two opening topics where the countries have identical interests: stabilizing Afghanistan under a nonTaliban government, and curtailing drug trafficking in the region. As evidence of Iran’s readiness, he cites an invitation made in February 2011 in Sweden for Marc Grossman, the top U.S. diplomat overseeing Afghanistan, to come to Tehran for talks. A U.S. source said Washington proposed talks in Afghanistan instead, but Iran balked.

How much of what Mousavian says would hold up in practice? The best test is negotiations, and there the two sides have given each other another month to explore paths away from the brink.

Comedy of errors

A quick look at some KU targets

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

While most of April was spent coaching the players they had in front of them, a good chunk of May has been spent trying to find new ones.

Led by head coach Charlie Weis, the Kansas University football staff was all over the map during the first two weeks of May, mining all four corners of the country for new talent to help bolster the rebuilding project they inherited in Lawrence.

From Texas and Oklahoma to Washington D.C., Georgia and California, as well as many areas in between, KU’s assistant coaches were on the road nearly non-stop since the spring game wrapped on April 28.

Last Friday, KU offensive line coach Tim Grunhard summarized KU’s efforts in fewer than 140 characters.

“Recruiting is over and the Jayhawks covered everywhere from New Jersey to Hawaii,” Grunhard’s Tweet read. “Next week we will grind out 150 prospects film.

KU is back.”

With 27 players filling the Class of 2012, Weis and his staff addressed many of KU’s biggest needs despite having less than two months to do so. Given an entire year and a better understanding of what they have and don’t have, Weis and his staff should be able to demonstrate better what kind of recruiting pull they possess.

So far, KU has secured three oral commitments from players in the Class of 2013. Local prospects Ben Johnson, 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, a tight end from Basehor-Linwood High, and Montell Cozart, 6-2, 180, a quarterback from Bishop Miege High, were the first to commit. They were joined a few weeks later by St. Louisarea linebacker Kellen Ash, 6-3, 194.

A believer in putting as many of the best athletes on the field as possible, Weis does not appear to be limiting the scope of his search in the Class of 2013.

Here’s a quick look at a handful of KU’s targets.

There are, of course, dozens more players that the Jayhawks are going after in this class, and many recruiting analysts expect KU to hand out more offers and land more commitments during the early part of June. This

KANSAS CITY THIRD BASEMAN MIKE MOUSTAKAS, LEFT, ARGUES with second-base umpire Dan Bellino in the third inning against the Indians. Moustakas thought he tagged out Indians’ Jason Kipnis in a rundown, but Bellino ruled he missed the tag in the Royals’ eventual 8-5 loss Monday in Cleveland.

Bad inning dooms Adcock to Omaha CLEVELAND (AP) — One bad inning started the Kansas City Royals on a downward spiral Monday.

A season-high three errors didn’t help.

The result was an 8-5 loss to Cleveland as the Royals couldn’t pull off a third straight win after taking the final two games in Baltimore.

“I felt like our offense was battling back all day long,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It was one of those games we couldn’t keep them from scoring.”

Starter Nate Adcock (03) allowed five runs in the third that began with Kansas City holding a 2-0 lead. He didn’t get through the inning and was optioned to Triple-A Omaha following the game.

Errors by third baseman Mike Moustakas, second baseman Irving Falu and pitcher Jose Mijares further hurt the cause as did a blown call by second base umpire Dan Bellino that continued Cleveland’s big inning.

Eric Hosmer and Brayan

CLEVELAND RIGHT FIELDER SHIN-SOO CHOO, RIGHT, and the Indians celebrate their victory over the Royals.

Pena homered, but that wasn’t enough to prevent the Royals’ eighth loss in 12 games.

Adcock breezed through the first two innings, giving up a walk and throwing 22 pitches, but the right-hander stumbled in the third.

Lonnie Chisenhall, batting for the first time since being called up from Triple-A Co-

lumbus before the game, homered to right on a 1-1 pitch.

After Luke Carlin singled to center, Juan Diaz flied out to left, but that was the last hitter Adcock retired.

A single by Shin-Soo Choo and a walk to Michael Brantley loaded the bases. Jason Kipnis worked the count to 3-2 before fouling off three

pitches. Kipins hit a hard grounder into center field on the ninth pitch of the at-bat to score two more runs and move Brantley to third.

Moustakas fielded Jose Lopez’s high chopper that scored Brantley. Moustakas had no play at first, but ran directly at Kipnis, who rounded too far around the second base bag.

While it looked like Moustakas clearly made the tag, Bellino ruled he didn’t and Kipins took third. Moustakas was charged with an error.

Yost raced from the dugout to argue with Bellino. The four umpires met to discuss the situation, but didn’t change the call and a dissatisfied Yost went back to the dugout.

Moustakas was certain he tagged Kipnis. “(Bellino) might have been in a bad spot,” Moustakas said.

“He couldn’t see anything. I didn’t give him a chance to say anything to me. I was kind of fired up. That was something we needed right there.

KU’s Johnson cautious at camp

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ELIJAH JOHNSON, CENTER, poses with a pair of young participants in the KC Gym Rats Collegiate All-Star Camp on Monday in Overland Park.

OVERLAND PARK — Kansas University senior Elijah Johnson accepted a pass from Kansas State’s Rodney McGruder, then bounced the basketball off the court into the hands of high-flying Jayhawk junior Justin Wesley, who finished a memorable Memorial Day dunk before 100 KC Gym Rats Collegiate All-Star campers in Blue Valley Northwest High’s gym.

“I don’t think coach (Bill Self) is going to let Elijah bounce it off the floor next year, but it was fun playing with him today, even though he can’t move around like he

usually does,” Wesley said with a smile.

Johnson — he also fired a basketball off a wall to a trailing KSU forward Jordan Henriquez, who successfully jammed — was in great spirits while tutoring youths with the three other college players and BV Wesley Northwest coach Ed Fritz. The 6-4, 195-pounder from Las Vegas just made sure he jogged straight, making no cutting movements, as he continues

his recovery from mid-April arthroscopic left knee surgery.

“I couldn’t do too much today. Rodney couldn’t do too much. I’m still trying to heal up from my surgery, and he is, too,” Johnson said of KSU senior guard McGruder, who had foot surgery last March.

“J.O. (Henriquez) and Justin got to play a little bit, but I was more of a spectator today. It’s always a lot of fun to work with the kids.”

Johnson said he’ll be cleared to play pick-up basketball, “on my birthday — July 11th. I feel great. I feel like I can play right now, but I’ve got to be smart about it and take care of my body. I’m

going to sit out how long the doc tells me to sit out.”

Johnson actually was not 100 percent during the latter portion of the 2011-12 season.

“I was all right. I was a little uncomfortable, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t play through,” Johnson said.

He would not acknowledge his swollen knee to media inquisitors during the NCAA Tournament. He never complained to his teammates.

“He was dealing with that during the season, too. He doesn’t complain. If I had to choose somebody on the team who didn’t complain Please see CAMP, page 3B

Azarenka struggles, but wins in France PARIS (AP) — Only 22, just recently a Grand Slam champion and ranked No. 1 for the first time, Victoria Azarenka is still learning to think like a top player.

So trailing by a set and one point from being down 5-0 in the second at the French Open on Monday, Azarenka’s mind was filled with “a mix of things.� “Sometimes I felt it was not

my day,� she explained. “Sometimes I thought, ‘Yeah, maybe I still fight, I still have a chance.’ Sometimes it was like, ‘You know what? Forget it. I don’t want to do it.’�

And yet she did do it, listening to the most positive of those voices and beginning the climb back from a daunting deficit with a gutsy second-serve ace, of all things. Showing how far

she’s come from the petulance of earlier in her career, Azarenka took 12 of the last 14 games to beat Alberta Brianti of Italy 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-2. “Before, maybe I would just give up and go home. I was kind of thinking there was a flight straight to Minsk,� said Azarenka, who was born in the capital of Belarus. “But I didn’t want to leave too soon.�

The top-seeded man, Novak Djokovic, limited his miscues to when he spoke to the crowd in French after a victory Monday, never even facing a break point while beating Potito Starace of Italy 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-1.

The sport’s other leading man, defending champion Rafael Nadal, starts his try for a record seventh French Open title today, facing Simone Bolelli of Italy.

By Tim Tucker The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

DESTIN, FLA. — University of Georgia president Michael Adams, a 15-year veteran of the SEC’s annual spring meetings here, expects this year’s get-together to stand out. “I’m not sure we’ve had a Destin meeting in a long time with as much of a substantive agenda as I expect (this time),� Adams said last week. “... The normal swirl is a little greater swirl this year because of the issues surrounding football.�

The meetings, which begin today and run through Friday, will draw presidents, athletic directors, coaches and other administrators from the SEC schools. The dominant topic will be college football’s apparent movement toward a fourteam playoff that would crown the national champion beginning in the 2014 season.

The SEC is a big backer of a playoff conceptually, and Adams expects the presidents of the conference schools to hash out — and vote upon — such details as how the field should be selected, where the games should be played and what the role of the bowls should be. “I think we will come out of Destin with an SEC position on these matters,� Adams said. “But there are a lot of moving parts here, and I think we have to be respectful of the opinions of the Big Ten and the Pac-(12) and the Big 12 and the ACC and everybody else. . . . I do think we can get closure on a solid SEC position.�

Getting there, though, could be an interesting process. “This (issue) is one sort of like coaches’ salaries and contracts — it kind of gets the presidents’ blood moving a bit,�

Adams said. “I think there will be some strongly held opinions among the presidents about how those questions ought to be answered.�

Assuming the presidents reach a consensus, SEC commissioner Mike Slive will carry the league’s position to a June 20 meeting of the BCS commissioners in Chicago. That will be followed by a June 26 meeting in Washington of the chancellors and presidents who oversee the BCS. “I don’t think there is any belief that some form of playoff is not going to move forward,�

Adams said.

He became one of the early university presidents to advocate a playoff when he pitched an eight-team model four years ago. “I think the bowls deserve a lot of consideration, given what they have done for us through the years,� Adams reiterated last week. “I don’t think you walk away from your friends.�

Still, Adams made clear that the landscape has changed for everyone involved in college football’s postseason.

The bowl alliance announced earlier this month between the SEC and the Big 12 unmistakably underscored that change. “I think there was both a protection factor and a leverage factor that went into (the SEC-Big 12 agreement),� Adams said. “Our responsibility is to protect the SEC regardless of what happens nationwide, and that’s what we were trying to do there.�

INDIANAPOLIS 500 CHAMPION INDYCAR DRIVER DARIO FRANCHITTI POSES in his car during the traditional winner photo session Monday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.

“I went through this qualifying last year. It proved a turnaround in my season because I have always wanted to play a U.S. Open,� Noren said. “I played Congressional last year where Rory (McIlroy) won and played all four rounds, so I was really pleased. It’s just great to be going back again.�

Warren will make his debut at a major after two prior attempts, in 2007 and 2008, to qualify from Walton Heath. “I couldn’t be more happy and really looking forward to the championship,� he said.

The other qualifiers were: France’s Gregory Bourdy and Raphael Jacquelin, England’s Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin, Italy’s Matteo Manassero, Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen, Finland’s Mikko Illonen, South Africa’s George Coetzee and Ireland’s Peter Lawrie.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Florida overall No. 1 seed NEW YORK — Florida heads into the NCAA Tournament as college baseball’s top team.

The Gators appreciate the honor, but they’re interested only in finishing No. 1 at the College World Series. “I think that we have a good team,� coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “I think that we had a good year. I’d agree with everybody that I don’t think we have played our best yet, which is encouraging.�

Florida (42-18) was selected Monday as the top seed for the 64-team tournament and will host one of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals that begin Friday. “That was a very close vote,� said Kyle Kallander, chairman of the Division I baseball committee. “The committee really discussed at length who deserved to be that No. 1 overall.

There were several deserving teams.�

The other national seeds, in order, are: UCLA, Florida State, Baylor, Oregon, North Carolina, LSU and two-time defending College World Series champion South Carolina. “We had four teams that were in serious consideration for that last top national seed, that No. 8 seed,� Kallander said. “It was very competitive in the evaluation process.�

Kallander said the Gators’ overall body of work — including a 21-10 record against top 25 teams — put them in front of the field.

History has not been kind to the No. 1 overall seeds, though. Only once has a top seed gone on to win the College World Series: Miami in 1999, the first year the NCAA went to its current tournament format.

Florida and South Carolina are among a tournament field-leading eight Southeastern Conference teams, including Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is second with seven teams: Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Virginia.

The 16 regional winners move on to the bestof-three super regionals. Those eight winners advance to the College World Series, which begins June 15 in Omaha, Neb., at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

U.S. GOLF

Two big names fail to qualify WALTON HEATH, ENGLAND — Alex Noren of Sweden qualified for the U.S. Open for the second straight year, while past and present European Ryder Cup captains Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal failed to do so.

Noren shot rounds of 67 and 68 in the 36hole, qualifying tournament Monday. He joined Marc Warren of Scotland (70, 65) at 11 under as the leading players of the 11 qualifiers at Walton Heath.

Franchitti’s Indy 500 payout: $2.5 million INDIANAPOLIS — Dario Franchitti earned $2,474,280 from an overall purse of $13,285,815 for his victory Sunday in the Indianapolis 500.

The four-time series champion from Scotland became just the 10th driver to win IndyCar’s signature event at least three times. He also won in 2007 and 2010.

Franchitti, who started 16th, took the lead for good in the No. 50 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda car from his teammate, Scott Dixon, on lap 199.

He overcame a spirited passing attempt by Takuma Sato in turn 1 on the final lap. Sato spun and hit the SAFER Barrier while Franchitti hung on to win the race under caution.

Dixon, who won the race in 2008, earned $1,102,280 for finishing second.

BOXING

Boxer paralyzed in crash ATLANTA — Paul Williams’ manager says the boxer has been paralyzed from the waist down after being involved in a motorcycle crash in the Atlanta suburbs.

George Peterson told the Associated Press that Williams is expected to have surgery Wednesday and has been listed in serious but stable condition on Monday at an undisclosed hospital.

He says the crash happened Sunday morning in Marietta after Williams tried to avoid another car that was negotiating a curve. He says the motorcycle went up an embankment and he was thrown from the bike, severing his spinal cord after falling on his back and head. Williams was to attend his brother’s wedding Sunday afternoon.

Peterson says Williams was scheduled to fight Saul Alvarez on Sept. 15 in Las Vegas but that event has been canceled.

ROAD RACING

Daska, Kiprono Bolder winners DENVER — Having already won two Bolder Boulder 10k races, Mamitu Daska had a good idea what she needed to do to avoid a repeat of last year’s second-place finish.

Daska took the lead a mile in and kept it on the way to a victory in the 6.2-mile road race Monday. “I won here twice by coming out fast and not letting up,� Daska said. “That’s the only way I know for me to win a race.�

The 24-year-old Ethiopian covered the course in 33 minutes, 6.50 seconds. Janet CherobonBawcom (33:23.57) was second, and American Deena Kastor (33:28.57) was third.

Kastor won a bronze medal in the marathon at the 2004 Olympics and is looking to qualify for this summer’s London Games in the 10,000 meters on the track.

Kenya’s Allan Kiprono was the men’s winner in 29:54.43. Tadese Tola (30:03.73) was second and fellow Ethiopian Brihanu Gedefa (30:07.14) was third.

BASEBALL

Mickelson among Padre bidders DUBLI, OHIO — Phil Mickelson has joined a group of investors who want to buy his hometown San Diego Padres.

Mickelson said Monday afternoon he is involved with Kevin and Brian O’Malley, and their cousins Peter and Tom Seidler, as one of five groups trying to buy the team. John Moores said last month he is putting the team up for sale.

The O’Malleys and Seidlers are grandchildren of former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley.

is just a brief look at several players who have received official scholarship offers from Kansas: Q Jordan Darling: 6-4, 226-pound quarterback from Shawnee Mission East High. Darling, a threestar prospect, according to Rivals.com, also has an offer from Kansas State.

Q Keith Watkins: 5-11, 175-pound running back from Moeller High in Forest Park, Ohio. Watkins also is another three-star recruit, who currently has eight offers, seven of which come from BCS programs.

Q Eric Harrell: 5-8, 188-pound running back from Dr. Phillips High in Orlando, Fla. KU is one of two schools (Florida International) to offer the powerful back.

Q Mario Alford: 5-9, 175-pound running back from Georgia Military College, the same school that produced Class of 2012 defensive lineman Keon Stowers. Alford also has offers from Arizona and Texas Tech.

Q Duane Thompson: 5-10, 185-pound running back from H.D. Woodson High in Washington D.C. Kansas is one of five schools to offer the tailback, but so is Colorado, which last February, signed three players from Woodson High.

Q Kyle Meadows: 6-5, 270-pound offensive tackle from Lakota West High in West Chester, Ohio.

Meadows has more than a dozen offers from some pretty big-time programs, including Florida State, Louisville, N.C. State, Pitt and West Virginia.

Q Joey Bloomfield: 6-6, 315-pound offensive tackle from Ballard High in Louisville, Kent. KU, Colorado and Wyoming are the three schools that officially have offered Bloomfield.

Q Sam Coverdale: 6-7, 280-pound offensive tackle from Kenston High in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

Northwestern appears to be the leader for Coverdale, who received an offer from KU last week, but more than a dozen others have offered him.

Q Matt Beyer: 6-6, 275-pound offensive tackle from Ronald Reagan High in San Antonio. KU is one of two Big 12 programs (Baylor) to officially offer Beyer.

Q Desmond Harrison: 6-8, 320-pound offensive tackle from Contra Costa CC in San Pablo, Calif., who has more than a dozen offers including eight from BCS programs.

Q Marquis Wallace: 6-5, 310-pound offensive tackle from Lackawanna CC

about anything, it’d be Elijah,” Wesley said. “He really did play through it and play through it well.

I think it would have been scary if he was 100 percent.”

Johnson is expected to take over from Tyshawn Taylor as floor general during the 2012-13 season.

He was asked if he considers it his team.

“That’s how I want to embrace it,” Johnson said.

“I feel when they get down to the last couple seconds in the game, I want everybody to look at me and feel comfortable. I don’t want people to look at me and not know what kind of mood I’m going to be in tonight. I want my teammates to know that every night I am trying to take them all the way as far as I can, further than we went last year and try to be positive in any situation.”

College assistance: Blue Valley Northwest coach Ed Fritz annually has KU and K-State players help work his various KC Gym Rats camps.

“We had a great four-

in Scranton, Pa. Juco lineman also has offers from East Carolina, Houston, Pitt and South Florida.

Q Zach Hannon: 6-5, 295-pound offensive guard from Rockhurst High in Kansas City, Mo. Hannon, who ranks 12th at his position nationally, has no shortage of offers from nearby programs. KU, KState, Missouri, Nebraska and Arkansas all have gotten into the race.

Q Landon Stokes: 6-4, 220-pound defensive end from Lake Highland High in Orlando, Fla., whose offer list has reached 25 schools and seems to be growing by the day.

Q Sione Sina: 6-4, 245-pound defensive end from College of San Mateo. Weakside end also has offers from BYU, Cal and Hawaii.

Q Paul James: 6-2, 242-pound defensive end from Miami (Fla.) Norland High. Interest from powerhouse programs Alabama, Miami, Fla., and Tennessee makes KU a longshot here for the three-star end.

Q Jamone Boyd: 6-4, 245-pound defensive end from Lee’s Summit (Mo.) West High. Similar to Hannon from Rockhurst, all of the local schools are in on Boyd, who has offers from Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Oklahoma State.

Q Marcus Hardison: 6-4, 260-pound defensive end from Dodge City CC. Hardison’s 4.7-second 40yard dash speed make him an attractive option. Already has offers from KU and Arizona State and is receiving interest from KState.

Q Eric Beisel: 6-4, 235-pound inside linebacker from Rockwood Summit High in Fenton, Mo. Arkansas appears to be the leader for Beisel, who is still hoping to land an offer from Northwestern. Also being pursued

by Arizona State, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska.

Q Al-Rasheed Benton: 6-2, 220-pound inside linebacker from Shabazz High in Newark, N.J. Most of Benton’s offers are from back east, as Penn State, Pitt, Boston College, Maryland and West Virginia are among the dozen or so schools to have offered.

Q Brandon Hines: 6-2, 182-pound outside linebacker from Kimball High in Dallas. Only in-state offer so far for the three-star linebacker is from North Texas. KU and K-State both have offered, as has UNLV. Q Marcus JenkinsMoore: 6-2, 205-pound outside linebacker from Pierce CC in Woodland Hills, Calif. Has eight offers from BCS programs, including Kansas, and the

“They get along really well.

Last night, Jordan Henriquez told me he already talked to Elijah about the camp. It’s great they respect each other. For having such a great rivalry, it’s great they get along.

“It’s nice for the kids (campers) to see these kids (Jayhawks and Wildcats) up close and see they are regular people like they are. They get along with the kids, and that makes it nice.”

O

Q&A: Fritz held a Q and A with the four players.

“Allen Fieldhouse,” was the response of Henriquez, asked to identify the toughest building he’s played in. “The moment I walked in the gym ... those fans are true KU fans.”

“Sherron Collins,” McGruder said, asked to reveal the toughest player he’s played against.

Asked the same question, KU’s Wesley said, “Tyler Zeller.”

list appears to be growing by the week.

Q Jordan Smith: 5-11, 180-pound cornerback from H.D. Woodson High in Washington D.C. Another Woodson product means more interest from Colorado. KU and Ohio State round out his early offers.

Q Carroll Washington: 6-0, 180-pound cornerback from Hartnell CC in Salinas, Calif. Finished 2011 with five interceptions and also has offers from Mississippi State and San Diego State.

Q Malik Rucker: 6-0, 175-pound safety from Cooper High in New Hope, Minn. Ranked as the 25th best safety in the country, Rucker has nearly 20 offers from all corners of the country. Iowa State, the only other Big 12 school to offer Rucker so far, seems destined to crack his list of finalists.

Q Solomon Warfield: 6-0, 170-pound safety from St. Edward High in Cleveland. Three-star prospect being pursued by KU’s Rob Ianello has more than 15 offers and interest from at least a dozen more schools.

Q Taion Sells: 5-10, 170-pound safety from MacArthur High in Irving, Texas. Strong safety from the same school that produced KU running back James Sims has seven offers from the region but seems to be picking up steam out west.

Q Darwyn Kelly: 6-1, 194-pound safety from H.D. Woodson High in Washington D.C. Colorado pops up yet again, joining Illinois, Kansas, North Carolina and Purdue as the only BCS schools in on Kelly at this point.

Q Michael Minter: 6-1, 180-pound athlete from North Star High in Lincoln, Neb. Three-star play-maker with sub-4.5 speed has offers from KU, Purdue and South Carolina but has not yet received one from the hometown Cornhuskers.

Q Derrick Mitchell Jr.: 6-0, 185-pound athlete from Vashon High in St. Louis, Mo. Serious Midwest flavor so far for Mitchell, who has offers from Indiana, Iowa, KU and K-State.

Q Edwin Delva: 6-3, 290-pound defensive tackle from Antelope Valley CC in Lancaster, Calif.

Currently has seven offers, including two from the Sunflower State in KU and Kansas State.

Q Ben Hughes: 6-2, 310-pound defensive tackle from University High in Waco, Texas. Hughes has three Big 12 offers already but none of them come from Baylor, the Big 12 university in his hometown. Still, an offer list that includes KU, K-State and Oklahoma State is not too shabby.

O

Honoree: Incoming KU forward Perry Ellis of Wichita Heights was named one of 40 Parade All-Americans on Sunday.

“It’s nice to have him gone, really nice,” BV Northwest’s Fritz said with a smile. His squad was state runner-up to Heights the past three seasons. “Perry is a great player and was a great champion. He seemed always to be ready to play in the state championship game. He’ll have a great career at KU.” Northwest returns junior major-college prospect Clayton Custer and three other sophomore starters. With 6-foot point guard Custer, BV Northwest has been 46-4 the past two seasons.

He ends up scoring. We can’t have that.”

Adcock’s day ended when Casey Kotchman slapped a single past Moustakas to score Kipnis with the fifth run of the inning.

The error made one of the runs unearned. Adcock allowed six hits, walked two and didn’t strike out a batter in 21⁄3 innings.

Vin Mazzaro will be recalled up from Omaha to pitch in long relief. The Royals are off on Thursday and won’t need a fifth starter until early June.

MIAMI’S RONNY TURIAF (21) BLOCKS A SHOT by Boston’s Brandon Bass during the second half of Game 1 of their Eastern Conference finals playoffs series. The Heat won, 93-79, on Monday in Miami.

James, Wade carry Miami to blowout MIAMI (AP) — The way LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are rolling right now, one bad quarter is hardly too much for the Miami Heat to overcome.

And with that, the Heat are three wins away from another trip to the NBA finals.

James scored 32 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, Wade scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, and the Heat beat the Boston Celtics, 93-79, on Monday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

“One down. And they still have an opportunity in Game 2 to accomplish what they want to,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, referring to how Boston can still grab home-court advantage by winning Game 2. “At times it was a strange game. Some good runs, both teams. We felt we could have played better and I’m sure they felt the same thing. But we found a way to grind it.”

Shane Battier, playing in the conference finals for the first time, had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, who wasted an early 11-point first-half lead, then gave up 35 second-quarter points before running away to break a halftime tie — getting going with a 9-2 run early in the third.

Miami outrebounded the Celtics 48-33, blocked 11 shots and didn’t trail at any time.

“On the road, you can’t have two quarters of lulls,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.

James and Wade scored 197 points in the final three games of Miami’s second-round series with Indiana, all those games being Heat wins.

Chisox win sixth straight The Associated Press

White Sox 2, Rays 1 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Chris Sale struck out a career-high 15, Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer, and Chicago extended its winning streak to six games on Monday.

Sale (6-2) gave up one run, three hits and walked two in 7 1-3 innings while finishing one strikeout shy of the team record Jack Harshman set against Boston on July 25, 1954. Sale matched Detroit’s Max Scherzer for the most in a game this season, set May 20 against Pittsburgh.

Rangers 4, Mariners 2 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz both homered before combining on a big defensive play, and Matt Harrison pitched eight strong

innings to lead Texas past Seattle.

Napoli homered for the second game in a row when he hit a tiebreaking, three-run shot in the sixth off reliever Steve Delabar (1-1). Cruz went deep in the second to help the Rangers win their fourth straight game.

Joe Nathan worked the ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances.

Brendan Ryan hit an RBI triple in the eighth and was thrown out trying for an inside-the-park homer on a relay that went from Cruz to second baseman Ian Kinsler to Napoli.

Red Sox 7, Tigers 4 BOSTON — Felix Doubront pitched six innings of four-hit ball, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered.

The victory was tainted by an injury to 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia, who

left in the fifth inning with a jammed right thumb.

The Tigers played most of the game without manager Jim Leyland and thirdbase coach Gene Lamont, ejected following a disputed foul tip in the second.

Twins 5, Athletics 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Morneau drove in two runs for Minnesota, including the tying double in the eighth, as the Twins sent Oakland to its sixth straight loss.

Matt Capps was booed when he took the mound but bounced back from his first blown attempt of the season the day before by striking out his final batter, Jonny Gomes, with the bases loaded in the ninth for his 10th save. Minnesota stopped a five-game skid.

Dear Annie: My sister-in-law, “Kate,” has a son who is a year older than mine. For my husband’s sake, every time Kate comes to town, I tell her she’s welcome to stay with us.

Kate doesn’t always behave herself. I try to blow off her offensive comments, but it’s hard. My husband says, “My sister is stupid. Don’t let her get to you.” But her last visit was the final straw.

She asked whether my 2-year-old son is “normal” because he has a big head. Annie, he looks like his father, who is tall and broad-shouldered. So is my brother, who played high school sports. She asked this repeatedly, and each time, I calmly told her that his pediatrician says he’s perfectly fine.

Then she had the gall to ask my husband whether our son was actually his.

Kate also will make nasty remarks such as, “Did you serve bad ba-

con? It tastes funny,” or “You don’t wash your floor. It’s sticky.”

I’d love to tell Kate exactly how I feel about her rude comments, but I know the consequences won’t be worth it. I already ignore her phone calls and reply only by text. I’m tired of crying to my husband over Kate’s nasty behavior. I can tell he is getting irritated with me. What do I do? — Ready To Explode in N.D. Dear Ready: First, stop complaining to your husband. It’s tiresome and

Queen marks milestone “20/20” (8 p.m., ABC) and host Katie Couric devote two hours to England’s Queen Elizabeth II and the Diamond Jubilee celebrating her 60 sceptered years.

When you’ve lived and reigned as long as Elizabeth, you get to see a lot of your empire’s history and pop culture in the rearview mirror. Her 1953 coronation was the first to be televised and was a major event for the fledgling medium. It was also the beginning of the end of England’s crushing postwar austerity, a moment brilliantly evoked in the 1987 film “Prick Up Your Ears,” starring Gary Oldman and Alfred Molina, directed by Stephen Frears.

Elizabeth has reigned long enough to be loved, reviled and reconciled with several times. Her Silver Jubilee in 1977 coincided with grim economic conditions and social malaise.

The punk music movement was born with the Sex Pistols’ banned single “God Save the Queen,” an anarchic revolt against her Jubilee. The song decried an England where there was “no future.” But England would rebound and Elizabeth’s reign would see punk’s most ardent followers mellow into middle age.

Johnny Rotten’s lyrics, however, were nothing compared to the revolt against Elizabeth that would erupt two decades later.

In 1997, Elizabeth earned near universal wrath with her apparent unfeeling reaction to Princess Diana’s sudden death in a car accident in Paris. At that moment, a movement seemed afoot to end the monarchy entirely.

It would take an Oscar-winning portrayal by Helen Mirren in Frears’ 2006 film “The Queen” to cast Elizabeth’s behavior in a more charitable light.

Six years after her cinematic restoration, Elizabeth is all but unassailable. So look for even the most fervent anti-royalists to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee and raise their voices to sing “God Save the Queen” in full-throated earnestness.

“American Colony: Meet the Hutterites” (9p.m., National Geographic) profiles members of a collectivist, pacifist religious sect that extols prayer and shuns the material. But that doesn’t stop them from offering drama and shenanigans for the cameras.

Tonight’s other highlights

Grayson feels stuck on the hourlong season finale of “Cougar Town” (7 p.m., ABC).

Things get intense for Abby and Nick on the finale of “The L.A. Complex” (8 p.m., CW).

“Frontline” (10 p.m., PBS, check local listings) explores alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

Erin Brockovich hosts “Reel Crime/Real Story” (9 p.m., ID).

BIRTHDAYS

Former Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent is 74. Race car driver Al Unser is 73. CBS News Correspondent Bob Simon is 71. Actor Anthony Geary is 65. Movie composer Danny Elfman is 59.

Singer LaToya Jackson is 56.

Actress Annette Bening is 54.

Actor Rupert Everett is 53. Singer Melissa Etheridge is 51. Actress Lisa Whelchel is 49. Rock musician Noel Gallagher is 45. Singer Melanie Brown (Spice Girls) is 37.

accomplishes nothing positive. Instead, learn better ways to handle Kate. When she complains about your sticky floors, reply, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Here’s a mop.”

If she dislikes the food, smile and tell her, “Sorry I can’t make what you like. Feel free to do the cooking.” When she insults your son’s size, say, “He’s so athletic looking, like his father and uncle.”

The trick is to remain wonderfully polite, sweet and perfectly innocent while you drive her nuts.

It might help to understand that Kate says these things because she is jealous. We feel sorry for her.

Dear Annie: Please publish this letter to my friends and relatives who do not own computers: I don’t mind helping you, but there are rules: I am not going to research a term paper for your child. If I have printed out information, please store it wisely. I may

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, May 29: This year you will be passionate about nearly everything you do.

You are likely to express your anger loud and clear. In the same vein, you’ll express your appreciation for whom and what you love. If you are single, the person you choose to be with this year could very well be a life mate. If you are attached, your sweetie initially might have strange reactions to this new phase.

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 have a lot to get done, especially as new things keep dropping on your plate. You are able to gain new insight after the fact.

Tonight: Catch up on errands.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You seem to have one solution after another. You mean well, but someone could feel inferior to you. Tonight: Playful, aren’t you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You actually might decide to stay home, if possible. You have plenty to do, and there’s no end in sight. Tonight: Not going far, Cancer (June 21-July 22) Sometimes, when you try to express your frustration or uneasy feelings, you could come off as hostile. A nice note or gesture touches you deeply. Tonight: Catch up on emails and calls.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could feel pressed for various financial reasons. You tend to go to excess and often find others’ reactions surprising.

Tonight: Your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A newfound intensity might be difficult to handle. If some-

jacquelinebigar.com

one is not receiving your messages in the manner you would like, don’t worry — he or she also is getting used to a changing you. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Know when to pull back.

You might be evaluating the pros and cons of making a major change.

Tonight: Make nice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A meeting or get-together with a group of friends could be a pivotal part of your day. Do not take someone’s abruptness or sarcasm personally. Tonight: What would make you happy? Go off and do just that.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tension could be high because of an unusual demand or heavy responsibilities. Value your time, and delegate responsibilities to others. Tonight: A late night.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Something that lands on your desk could force you to do something you normally would put off. An associate or acquaintances might be developing some very strong feelings. Tonight: Escape the day by indulging in some mind candy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to duck when a partner, loved one or family member loses it. You will neutralize the situation quite quickly. Tonight: Follow someone’s lead.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You certainly have a mixed array of friends and associates. In some ways, you see similarities, with the exception of how they handle anger and frustration. Tonight: Choose your company with care.
