Motorists to be rerouted near Haskell for bridge replacement project

TOPEKA — Democratic legislative leaders Wednesday called on Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, to stop interfering with the redistricting fight that is now before a federal judicial panel.

“He might not like it, but Gov. Brownback can only control one branch of government,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence. “He needs to get back to his job and let the court fix the mess he created.”

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, had similar thoughts, saying that Brownback, a conservative, is using redistricting to try to oust moderate members of the GOP. “His involvement has poisoned the process, making a difficult task impossible to complete,” Hensley said.

Legislators and Brownback failed during the legislative session to approve new maps for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts.

R-E-L-I-E-F That wasn’t a word Emma Steimle spelled in the preliminary round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. But it is the one she used to describe standing on stage before camera crews and 277 fellow competitors and being given a word she knew how to spell correctly.

“It was a relief to know I knew how to spell all of them,” Emma said.

This week, Emma, an eighth-grader at West Middle School and daughter of Peter and Annette Steimle,

Today’s forecast, page 10A

Shoofly. It may become the word of the summer in Lawrence in 2012.

Beginning today, traffic on a portion of 23rd Street will be shifted to two shoofly detours that are expected to be in place until at least late November. The detours are part of a project to replace the 23rd Street bridge near Haskell Indian Nations University.

“We generally have a target of opening it back up by Thanksgiving or a little sooner,” said Kim Qualls, a spokeswoman with the Kansas Department of Transportation, which is overseeing the project.

Until then, motorists will be routed around the bridge. For those unfamiliar with a shoofly Road should detour, it is basically a short frontage road that be back to takes traffic around a con- normal by struction site. In this case, Thanksgiving, there will be two shoofly detours: one on each side KDOT says. of the 23rd Street bridge.

The two shoofly detours each will accommodate two lanes of traffic, which is an improvement over the current situation. For several weeks, the eastbound portion of 23rd Street has been reduced to one lane.

Qualls said the speed limit on the shoofly detours likely will be set at 30 mph.

Traffic is scheduled to be shifted over to the detours shortly after the morning rush hour, Qualls said.

As for work on the bridge, motorists should expect to see some major changes by mid-June.

Qualls said that by the middle of the month, demolition work is expected to begin.

The $4.3 million project will replace the 1931 bridge with a significantly wider bridge that will include a sidewalk separated from the main traffic area. The bridge also will have a unique design that uses stamped concrete to give the bridge the appearance of stone work. The project also will lower the profile of the hill the bridge sits on to give motorists better sight lines between Haskell and Learnard.

championship round will air on ESPN from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“It has all been cool,” Emma said of her time in Washington, D.C. Since the sixth grade, Emma has dreamed of competing at the national spelling bee. That year, she was knocked out of the Douglas County Spelling Bee for misspelling “anachronism.”

DOUGLAS COUNTY

Treasurer seeks 3rd term, cites need for better financial system

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Douglas County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist has filed the paperwork to seek a third term in the November general election.

G i l christ, a Lawrence D e m o crat, said W e d n e s - Gilchrist day she wants another four-year term in order to complete work on several projects her office has begun. Specifically, Gilchrist said she wants to be part of a countywide effort to improve the financial software used by various departments of county government.

“The county definitely needs a better countywide financial system,” Gilchrist said “That will require a lot of coordination. It is a big project

that I would like to see through.”

Gilchrist said the current system doesn’t allow county departments to easily share financial reports and other data that would be useful, especially to the treasurer’s office.

Among Gilchrist’s responsibilities is to invest the county’s “idle funds,” but she said that task is difficult because her office often does not know how many outstanding bills the county has until just a few days before the checks are written.

Gilchrist’s office also is responsible for collecting motor vehicle taxes and renewing motor vehicle registrations. She said a new computer system installed by the state has created significant problems for the renewal process, but she is optimistic the state and local treasurer offices are getting the bugs worked out of the program.

“Right now, we just

hold our breath every morning and hope the system works,” Gilchrist said. “But I think there are some exciting things coming with the new system.”

For example, Gilchrist said, the new system eventually should eliminate the need for vehicle owners to bring in proof of insurance before renewing a tag.

Gilchrist, 61, was first elected treasurer in 2004.

Before the position, she worked in nonprofit management, and was an aide to U.S. Congressman Jim Slattery.

Currently, Gilchrist does not have an opponent in the general election.

Candidates for all county positions have until noon Friday to file. The general election will be Nov. 6. A primary election, if needed, will be Aug. 7.

BRIEFLY Lemonade stand to honor girl’s legacy Health club offers teens memberships

More than 700 volunteers will continue the legacy of Alexandra “Alex” Scott by having a lemonade stand from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Hy-Vee stores in Kansas City region, including the Lawrence store at 4000 W. Sixth St. Twelve years ago, 4-year-old Alex, who was fighting cancer, decided to raise money for research by having a lemonade stand.

She raised a remarkable $2,000.

News about her efforts spread, and people began having their own lemonade stands, donating the proceeds to Alex and her cause. She continued to have annual lemonade stands until she died at age 8. She had raised more than $1 million for childhood cancer research.

Her work continues through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which has raised more than $50 million.

In seven years, the Kansas City region has raised $600,000 through its lemonade stands, and it has funded grants at Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas University Medical Center and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research.

Body Boutique, a Lawrence women’s fitness facility, will be offering complimentary memberships to 200 teenage girls this summer as part of a national initiative to help fight obesity and physical inactivity.

It will be the health club’s fourth year to participate in Teen Fitness Connection, an effort launched by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association.

So far, 85 health clubs and 3,300 teens have signed up to participate this summer.

Body Boutique, 2330 Yale Road, will offer a free membership to girls ages 13 to 18. They will have access to the center from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. every day from Friday through Aug. 1. There also will be special group fitness classes, educational events, prizes and personal training opportunities for these teens.

“Our goal is for teens to get fit and healthy this summer and continue to experience the health benefits of exercise year-round, in line with our philosophy that fitness is not a fad, but a way of life,” said Lorinda Hartzler, Body Boutique owner.

“It is like wow,” Emma said about having her dream come true.

On Wednesday, Emma was introduced to new level of competition when nearly everyone competing spelled their words correctly in the first two rounds.

“On stage it was a little stressful until you spell, and then after that it was kind of boring,” Emma said about listening to 276 other students spell two words.

Regardless of how Emma does today, the experience has been one of a lifetime. As a first-time visitor to Washington, D.C., Emma and her family have gone to Arlington National Cemetery, National Archives, Library of Congress and National Zoo. “We are having a wonderful experience here,” dad Peter Steimle said.

Every 10 years, the Legislature must draw new maps to accommodate changes and shifts in population so that districts are nearly equal.

But political warfare erupted between conservative Republicans and a coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats, with each side accusing the other of trying to gain the upper hand in getting their candidates elected.

The issue is now before three federal judges who heard testimony Tuesday and Wednesday from several legislators.

Brownback, a conservative, has denied he is trying to oust moderate state senators, but his staff members have been pushing maps that benefit conservative candidates and his allies have been funding campaigns against those moderates.

Girl, 15, injured near city pool Lawrence police briefly closed Kentucky Street outside the Lawrence Aquatic Center on Wednesday afternoon after a pedestrian was injured in an accident about 1:30 p.m.

Sgt. Ted Bordman, a patrol shift supervisor, said a 15-year-old girl ran out of a vehicle stopped in the east lane driven by her sister, 19. The 15-year-old girl crossed the street presumably to go to the pool, 747 Ky. A 24-year-old female driving an Audi in the west lane of the one-way street had a green light and did not see the girl, who ran into the passenger side mirror of the Audi, Bordman said.

The girl was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by ambulance with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Bordman said the girl was not crossing the street in the nearby crosswalk.

Davis and Hensley criticized Brownback for interfering in the process by submitting the legal brief.

In that brief, Brownback said he has a special interest in the case because he is “the state officer who would have been required to either approve or veto any reapportionment plan that successfully passed both the Kansas Senate and the Kansas House.”

Group finds problems with governor’s tax cuts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A national tax research group that is generally thought of as conservative and business-friendly said on Wednesday that Gov. Sam Brownback’s elimination of taxes for many business owners has problems The Tax Foundation supported the part of the tax reform legislation signed into law by Brownback that cut the individual income tax rates of 6.45 percent, 6.25 percent and 3.5 percent to just two rates at 4.9 percent and 3 percent.

But the Washington, D.C.-based group didn’t support the part of the law that exempts from taxes certain business owners’ profits.

“A pass-through business owner typically pays themselves a salary, which is taxed as wage income on their income tax return,” said Tax Foundation economist Mark Robyn.

“Additional profit above and beyond the business’ cost of doing business is reported as one of several forms of business income on the business owner’s tax return and also taxed under the personal in-

come tax.

The new K a n s a s law would make this non-wage income exempt from taxation,” Robyn said. Brownback Brownback’s office did not respond to the Tax Foundation report.

Brownback has said the tax change will stimulate the economy like an adrenaline shot to the heart. He said that the tax cuts will create 22,900 new jobs, give $2 billion more in disposable income to Kansans and increase population by 35,740, in addition to normal population growth.

The tax cuts, Brownback said, will “help make Kansas the best place in America to start and grow a small business.”

But the Tax Foundation said: “We see a few problems with the small business provisions.”

The tax exemption will create an incentive for businesses to structure as pass-throughs for tax purposes, the report said.

“Instead of the Kansas tax system treating similar activity similarly, the

system will encourage economically inefficient, though tax-reducing, activities.

“While this can be difficult and complicated, especially in business taxation, Kansas’s decision to exempt one type of business structure completely from taxation (pass-throughs) while continuing to tax others (C corporations) is problematic. It rewards certain business structures while punishing others.

There is no sound economic justification for treating these two types of business activity so dramatically differently,” the report said.

And the report concludes that while tax reductions can have positive economic benefits, “they will cost revenue and will ultimately have to be paid for either by cutting spending or increasing taxes elsewhere.”

Legislative staff research have reported that the tax cuts will produce a budget deficit in the $2.5 billion range within six years.

But Brownback has disputed this will happen.

Teacher pay increase offer much lower than requested

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district is willing to pump up teachers’ salaries by $1.5 million, far less than what teachers had requested.

For more than three hours Wednesday evening, district representatives and teachers from the Lawrence Education Association hashed out language that would be part of next year’s teacher contract.

More than a month ago, the teachers union asked for a $3,250 pay raise.

The request would have kept in place the onetime $1,000 bonus given to teachers last year and added another $2,250 to that amount.

Instead, the district offered to give a permanent increase of $750 to all teachers and to allow teachers to move higher on the pay scale based on their years of service.

For those teachers who can still move up, the increase could range between $400 to $1,700.

For teachers who have reached their maximum level on the pay scale, which is about 50 percent of them, there wouldn’t be any additional increase.

Lead negotiator David Reber, a Free State High School science teacher, said the boost is an improvement from what the district had offered earlier in the night.

“It’s getting better. But I don’t think we are there yet,” he said.

The initial offer was to give teachers $750 across the board and then a onetime payment of $250. But it wouldn’t have allowed teachers to jump to the next level on the pay scale.

Under that scenario, the teachers union negotiating team said the pay increase was actually no increase all because it would only replace the $1,000 one-time payment teachers received last year.

“It means everyone is static,” said Elizabeth Gabel, a member of the negotiation team and a teacher at Southwest Middle School.

But school board member Bob Byers reminded the teachers that the district agreed to just that onetime payment last year.

“I hesitate on issues of one-time money because I know if we do it one time, it becomes permanent.

One time was one time,” he said.

Reber told the board a contract that didn’t allow employees to move up on the pay scale would make it a hard sell to teachers.

“They see it as automatic and get pretty indignant when it doesn’t happen,” Reber said.

After that conversation, the negotiation team returned with an offer that would allow teachers to move up the pay scale but take away the $250 onetime payment all teachers would receive.

The district’s proposal also would cover insurance premiums at a slightly higher rate, costing about $181,000 a year more, and include about $43,000 more for teachers who take on additional assignments or duties.

Negotiations will resume June 6.

Harjo also said that he later discovered holes in his jeans and that he thought a bullet passed through them without striking his leg.

6-year-old speller talk of National Spelling Bee —————

Youngest contestant, 6, in history of competition fails to advance SIX-YEAR-OLD LORI ANNE MADISON, of Woodbridge, Va., the youngest contestant in the history of the National Spelling Bee, reaches for the microphone during the second round, Wednesday in Oxon Hill, Md.

By Ben Nuckols Associated Press

OXON HILL, MD. — Lena Greenberg was in constant motion as she stood waiting for her turn at the microphone at the National Spelling Bee — arms waving, feet dancing, head bobbing.

“It calmed me down,” Greenberg said later, although she certainly never looked calm.

Speaking in a loud, high-pitched voice, she spelled the words “jong” and “thalian” correctly.

When the judges nodded their heads, she sprinted and skipped back to her chair and doubled over in delight.

Greenberg, 14, of Philadelphia, was one of 50 spellers to advance to the semifinals of the 85th Scripps National Spelling Bee on Wednesday after 228 participants were eliminated.

Last year, she missed the semifinals by one point.

Today’s semifinals will not include the youngest speller in bee history, 6-year-old Lori Anne Madison of Lake Ridge, Va., although she made a valiant effort. Lori Anne misspelled one of her two words during the preliminary rounds — “ingluvi-

es,” which she started with an “e’’ — and her score on Tuesday’s computer test wasn’t enough to make up the difference.

“It was close,” said spelling bee director Paige Kimball.

Only one semifinalist advanced with a perfect score — 10-year-old Vanya Shivashankar of Olathe, Kan. Vanya’s sister, Kavya, won the 2009 National Spelling Bee. On Wednes-

day, the fifth-grader spelled “debellation” and “auteur” with obvious ease, and she got all 25 scored words right on Tuesday’s 50-word computer test — including “semelparous” and “outrecuidance.”

Like her sister, Vanya aspires to be a surgeon, and she’s part of a customarily strong contingent of Indian-Americans in the semifinals. Spellers of Indian descent have won four years

in a row and nine of the last 13 years, a run that began when Nupur Lala captured the crown in 1999 and was featured in the documentary “Spellbound.”

Last year, five spellers got perfect scores, and semifinalists could only afford to miss two words.

This year’s test was much more difficult — so 17 out of 25 was enough to advance.

Two of last year’s finalists also advanced — Nabeel Rahman of Buffalo, N.Y., and two-time finalist Arvind Mahankali of Bayside Hills, N.Y. While 6-year-old Lori Anne was the talk of the spelling bee, Wednesday belonged to the veterans.

In contrast to Greenberg’s jitters, five-time National Spelling Bee participant Nicholas Rushlow was the picture of cool as he strutted to the microphone and greeted pronouncer Jacques Bailly.

Rushlow, a year-round competitive swimmer who reads “Get Fuzzy” comic books to relax before spelling, made the semifinals for a fourth time.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do after this bee,” he said. “I’ll have to find a new hobby.”

Thomas the Tank Engine pulling into station

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Midland Railway volunteers have been spending weekends preparing the historic Baldwin City station to share with children the magic of Thomas and Friends’ Day Out. Thomas, a replica locomotive of the Thomas the Tank Engine of PBS fame, will return to Baldwin City this weekend. Rides will be available on the Midland Railway route Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as June 8, 9 and 10.

Volunteer Art Davis said railcars could carry 2,700 riders a day, and he’s hoping for as many as 3,000 visitors each day

Thomas is at the depot.

The magic Thomas works on children requires a little sleight of hand. The train replica is hooked up to the front a Midland Railway locomotive. Although Thomas isn’t actually pulling the train, a conductor who rides inside Thomas is able to make the engine blow steam for watching children.

“The kids just go wild,” Mildred Davis said.

Tickets cost $20 at the depot on the day of the ride and will be sold on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Children under the age of 2 ride the train for free.

The event grounds will open at 9 a.m., and the first train is scheduled to run at 9:45 a.m. Trains will run every 45 minutes until 3:45 p.m.

The ticket costs are for the train ride, but other activities on the grounds are free for all people in attendance.

The depot grounds will feature Thomas the Train merchandise, storytelling, a magician and food vendors.

Day Out with Thomas will take place rain or shine.

Teachers learn how to instruct Generation iY

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Growing Leaders founder and President Tim Elmore describes people born between 1990 and 2002 as Generation iY, a generation filled with people who have grown up with technology and who learn through images.

He says parenting and students’ lifestyles have evolved over the past 30 years, and to better educate this generation, teaching needs to evolve to fit the personality of these students.

Elmore was a keynote speaker at the Practitioners’ Conference on Wednesday at Baker University. The two-day conference focuses on teaching and other trends in the classroom. His keynote speech and his breakout presentation concentrated on the technology-savvy group of students and how to teach in an engaging and successful way.

Ann Sanders, Baker University associate professor of education, helped to organize the conference, and thought Elmore’s speech on current generations would be helpful to staff development.

“If we know how (students) see the world, we can design (engaging) lessons,” Sanders said.

What is Generation iY? “Generation iY ... describes the new world these kids have grown up in — the iWorld, the Internet world,” Elmore said.

County gives OK to spray Lone Star Lake

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

To stop an invasive plant from taking over Lone Star Lake, the Douglas County Commission has agreed to spray the water with herbicides.

Eurasian watermilfoil, an exotic plant that can spread quickly, is growing in the southwest Douglas County water body.

If left unabated, the plant can damage the health of the lake, according to Richard Sanders, a fisheries biologist with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

Currently the plant covers about 10 percent of the east arm of the lake, which is near the swimming beach, and is sporadic in other sections. The county would use the herbicides 24-D Granular or AquatholK to kill the plants.

“Normally, fisheries love to see aquatic vegetation. But this is an exotic form of vegetation.

It grows so aggressively that it invades areas down to 20 feet deep,” Sanders told the commission.

The plant can create a huge canopy on the surface,

making it difficult for those boating, fishing or swimming to navigate. It could also decrease the number of native plants and lower the amount of oxygen in the water, which would kill fish.

“Either eradicate now or live with it,” Sanders said.

The decision isn’t without controversy. In 2009, after several years of spraying to prevent curlyleaf pond weed from growing at the lake, the county stopped applying herbicides.

While those with cabins around the lake wanted to spray, environmentalists and fishermen opposed spraying the herbicide because they said the weeds provided a nursery for fish during the spawning season. Sanders was among those who spoke against spraying.

The county no longer sprays for curly-leaf pond weed, mainly because the plant dies off before the growing season. The same is not true for Eurasian watermilfoil.

This time around, Sanders believes the plant should be killed with chemicals before it continues to spread.

Eisenhower family: Impasse on memorial WASHINGTON (AP) — President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s family welcomed design changes by architect Frank Gehry for a memorial honoring the World War II general but said Wednesday that any monument should be “simple, sustainable and affordable” to honor his values.

In a joint statement from Eisenhower’s son and grandchildren provided to The Associated Press, the family offered its first reaction to changes in the national memorial design that Gehry announced May 15.

The family continues to oppose the use of large metal scrims to frame a memorial park near the National Mall. Gehry has called them tapestries that would depict the landscape of Eisenhower’s boyhood

home in Kansas. The scope and scale of the images woven in metal, though, remain “controversial and divisive,” the family said.

In Gehry’s design changes, images of Eisenhower carved in stone would be replaced with 9-foot-tall statues depicting Ike as World War II hero and president near the center of the park. The statues would show Gen. Eisenhower with soldiers before the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France. As president, he would be shown with his hand on the globe.

“From our perspective, many of the changes that Gehry Partners made to the design concept are positive and welcomed,” the family said — but added that more time is needed to break an impasse over the metal scrims.

DES MOINES, IOWA — What’s next for Mitt Romney? The Republican presidential nomination finally in hand, he will spend the next three months trying to undercut President Barack Obama on the economy while portraying himself as Mr. Fix It for a nation with stubbornly and painfully high unemployment.

Romney also faces key decisions between now and his acceptance of the party’s nomination in late August in Florida: Where should he compete most aggressively? Who should be his running mate?

At the same time, he must dive anew into fundraising and work to win over voters who are distracted by their own summer plans and day-to-day pocketbook worries — while withstanding Obama’s attacks on his own claims as a jobs creator.

Not that Romney is publicly sweating the hurdles that come with being the little-known challenger to a personally popular president.

“People will get to know me better,” Romney told Fox News in an interview that aired Wednesday, the day after he sealed the GOP nomination with his primary election victory in Texas. He says the general election campaign is only beginning even though his chief challenger dropped out more than six weeks ago.

With a smile, he said of the voters, “My guess is they’re going to get to know more about me than they’d like to by the time we’re finished.”

campaign into a general election operation — have been his prime focus. He’s making only a handful of public appearances for now, but aides say they expect the campaign to ramp up to a full sprint by July 4.

Romney has said he plans to take a week off around the holiday, suggesting that may be the time when he makes final deliberations on whom to choose as his vice presidential nominee.

Little is known about just where in that process Romney may be, though there is no shortage of Republican rising stars informally auditioning for the role.

While work on that front is certainly going on behind the scenes, Romney’s aides are spending this week publicly pressing anew a criticism that the candidate himself has been making for months against Obama.

They’re highlighting the hundreds of millions of dollars in economic stimulus money that the administration provided to Solyndra, the solar-energy company that went bankrupt and whose executives had contributed to Obama’s campaign.

Hundreds of salmonella cases tied to chicks

Israel’s Barak: Weigh ‘unilateral action’

Associated Press

ATLANTA — Those cute mail-order chicks that wind up in children’s Easter baskets and backyard farms have been linked to more than 300 cases of salmonella in the U.S. — mostly in youngsters — since 2004.

An estimated 50 million live poultry are sold through the mail each year in the United States in a business that has been booming because of the growing popularity of backyard chicken farming as a hobby among people who like the idea of raising their own food.

But health officials are warning of a bacterial threat on the birds’ feet, feathers, beaks and eggs.

“Most people can tell you that chicken meat may have salmonella on it,” said Casey Barton Behravesh of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “But surprisingly,

Europe worries stalk Wall Street; Dow loses 161

By Daniel Wagner Associated Press

Fearing a financial rupture in Europe, investors around the world fled from risk Wednesday. They punished stocks and the euro and flocked to bonds, driving the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note to its lowest point since World War II. In the United States, where concerns about Europe have already wiped out most of the strong gain that stocks had from January through March, major averages fell more than 1 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 161 points.

With Spain’s banking system teetering and Greece’s political future unclear ahead of crucial elections next month, European stocks lost even more.

The euro dropped below $1.24, to its lowest point since the summer of 2010.

“Everyone’s just afraid that if Europe doesn’t get its act together, there will be a big spillover in the U.S.,” said Peter Tchir, manager of the hedge fund TF Market Advisors.

He said the uncertainty in Europe was reminiscent of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008, when it was briefly

unclear in the United States whether banks would be bailed out and “we had these giant swings up and down.”

Wall Street, which woke up to increased anxiety over higher Spanish borrowing rates, was down from the opening bell.

The Dow closed down 160.83 points, or 1.3 percent, at 12,419.86. The Dow has had a miserable May, losing more than 6 percent, and is on track for its first losing month since September.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 19.10 points to 1,313.32. The Nasdaq composite index fell 33.63 to 2,837.36. Energy stocks were hit hardest because of a big drop in the price of oil, but stocks in all major industries fell.

The trigger for Wednesday’s sell-off was Spain, where the banking system is under strain a week after its fourth-largest bank required $23.8 billion in government aid to cover souring real estate loans.

Investors are increasingly worried that problems at the bank, Bankia, might recur at other Spanish banks. Many lent heavily during the nation’s real estate bubble. Losses from the real estate crash might be too big for Spain’s government to shoulder.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY speaks during a campaign event Tuesday at the Somers Furniture warehouse in Las Vegas.

As if on cue, Obama’s campaign opened a fresh critique of the GOP nominee-in-waiting, assailing his economic record as governor of Massachusetts. It’s the second phase of an effort by Obama to define Romney negatively in voters’ eyes. The Democrat already has spent weeks hammering the Republican on his record at the private equity company he founded.

Obama himself made a courtesy call to Romney to congratulate him on his nomination victory. An Obama aide said the president told Romney in a brief and cordial chat that he looked forward to debating America’s future with him.

Romney spent the day in California, plunging into a week filled with fundraisers and efforts to unite Republicans after a divisive primary season.

Already he’s proven adept at both, hauling in enough cash to cut into the advantage that Obama has while getting most of his former Republican rivals to close ranks around him.

we found many people are not aware that live chicks and chickens can spread salmonella to people.”

Since 2004, at least 316 people in 43 states got sick in an outbreak tied primarily to one mail-order hatchery. Health officials believe thousands more illnesses connected to the business were probably never reported.

No one died, but three dozen people were hospitalized with bloody diarrhea or other symptoms.

The illnesses were detailed Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach pain but is rarely fatal. It is most dangerous to very young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. The infection is usually contracted from food, but live animals can transmit it, too, because the bacteria can be in their feces.

JERUSALEM — There are signs the Israeli government is considering taking unilateral action if peace talks with the Palestinians remain stalled, a move which could involve a withdrawal from parts of the West Bank along the lines of a 2005 pullout from the Gaza Strip.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak told a high-profile security conference on Wednesday that inaction is not an option and Israel cannot wait forever to reach an accord.

“Israel cannot afford to tread water,” Barak said. If a deal “proves to be impossible, we have to consider a provisional arrangement or even unilateral action.”

The statement reflected a growing sense of urgency in Israel about ending its 45-year entanglement with the Palestinians, even if no peace deal is possible.

Two decades of on-again, off-again peace talks have failed to yield an agreement, and negotiations have been frozen for more than three years.

CIA operations threaten aid delivery

EDITORIALS

Ballot slots Elections for state and federal offices remain in limbo, but the deadline is near for candidates to seek county and township posts.

T

he failure of the Kansas Legislature to approve redistricting maps has created plenty of uncertainty about the summer and fall election calendar, but one date remains firm: Candidates for county and township offices and precinct positions must file for election by noon on Friday.

This year, that includes two seats on the Douglas County Commission, along with all the countywide offices: sheriff, clerk, treasurer, district attorney, register of deeds. As of noon Wednesday, only one of those offices, the 2nd District County Commission seat, was a two-candidate contest. In that race, Frank Male, a local businessman, has announced he will challenge incumbent Commissioner Nancy Thellman.

The lack of competition for most county offices is perhaps an endorsement of the job being done by current officials, but it still will be unfortunate if Douglas County voters have few, if any, choices on their county ballots in the August primary and November general election.

Any concerns about county elections this year, of course, are overshadowed by the election snarl for state and federal offices created by the Kansas Legislature’s failure to complete its redistricting duties. Assuming that the three federal judges are able to quickly complete redistricting maps for the U.S. House, state Legislature and state board of education, it’s still possible for primary elections to go forward on schedule, but there are many uncertainties. Based on state statute, the filing deadlines for those offices have been delayed until June 11, but the law makes no provision for what happens if the maps aren’t set in time to meet the June 11 deadline.

As Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said Wednesday, the state is in “uncharted territory” in dealing with further redistricting and election delays that could throw off the entire election calendar.

For instance, the requirement to mail ballots to voters overseas 45 days ahead of the election, Shew said, “is not a soft deadline”; it is a legal requirement. He also noted that polling places and poll workers already have been arranged for the Aug. 7 primary, but, if that election is delayed, there is no guarantee that the same locations and workers will be available on the new date.

There’s not much local residents can do about the redistricting mess, but they do have some control over how county elections progress. It’s late in the game to make such an important decision, but we hope some candidates still will step up to fill out the county election ballot. Even if county voters generally are happy with the officials they have, there are many benefits to having competitive races for those offices.

WASHINGTON — As an intelligence operation, it must have seemed like pure genius: Recruit a Pakistani doctor to collect blood samples that could identify Osama bin Laden’s family, under cover of an ongoing vaccination program.

But as an ethical matter, it was something else.

The CIA’s vaccination gambit put at risk something very precious — the integrity of public health programs in Pakistan and around the globe. It also added to the dangers facing non-government organizations in a world that’s increasingly hostile to American aid organizations.

What’s gotten attention in America is the plight of Dr. Shakil Afridi, the Pakistani physician who helped the CIA through his vaccination campaign in the tribal areas and the nearby province where bin Laden was hiding. The doctor was sentenced last week to 33 years in prison for treason, prompting indignant protests from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

U.S. officials shouldn’t treat the Afridi case simply as outrageous behavior by Pakistan. They’re right that the doctor’s actions weren’t treasonous: He was seeking information about terrorist leaders who were Pakistan’s enemies. I hope he’ll be released, but in any event Afridi and his handlers should reckon with the moral consequences of what they did.

Here’s the painful truth: Some people may die because they don’t get vaccinations, suspecting that immunization is part of a CIA plot.”

Here’s the painful truth: Some people may die because they don’t get vaccinations, suspecting that immunization is part of a CIA plot.

The rate of polio infection is rising in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria, in part because people believe conspiracy theories about vaccination. If the spread can’t be reversed in these three countries, warns a recent World Health Organizations report, “polio eradication will fail.”

Among the organizations concerned is Save the Children, the biggest foreign aid agency in Pakistan. According to The New York Times, Afridi told Pakistani authorities he was first contacted by the CIA through Save the Children, a claim that the organization denies. The Times

cination program that gave him a reason to visit the areas where al-Qaida operatives were hiding. A senior U.S. official explains: “Dr. Afridi was asked only to continue his program. ... The vaccinations were real, and he never harmed a soul in the course of this campaign.”

Though Afridi never obtained bin Laden’s DNA sample, he did inadvertently confirm that the courier residing at the Abbottabad compound practiced extraordinary operational security, which was important intelligence. After bin Laden was killed, the doctor was offered options to leave Pakistan with his family, but he decided to stay, according to the U.S. official.

“There must have been a better, more ethical, way,” writes Heidi Larson, a public health researcher at London’s School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in a comment posted Sunday on the Guardian’s website. “This choice of action has jeopardized people’s trust in vaccines.”

Intelligence operations, by definition, operate in a gray area where the normal legal and ethical rules get fuzzy. But this case makes me wonder if some intelligence tactics, such as using health workers overseas, should be off-limits: If the operations are blown, the consequences will be too damaging, in unintended ways, to innocent people.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 31, 1912: YEARS “With slow and AGO infirm step the IN 1912 veterans of the Civil War marched to the strains of martial music to the Bowersock theater yesterday afternoon. The ranks of the soldier boys of ‘61 have been greatly thinned during the battles of life …

At Lawrence those who followed the flag numbered between twenty-five and thirty, while in years past hundreds marched. Many of these walked with canes, slow and with unsteady step; others upon whose life time had not told so, walked with firm step and heads erect as in the old days of civil war.”

reported that after Afridi’s arrest last July, the NGO’s staff had been monitored by Pakistani intelligence and shipment of its medical supplies had been held at the border.

A spokesman said Tuesday that the group hasn’t had any problems in recent months.

The potential danger for health workers was outlined in a Feb. 21 letter to CIA Director David Petraeus from Samuel A. Worthington, the president of an alliance of 200 NGOs that operate abroad. He warned: “Since reports of the CIA campaign first surfaced last summer, we have seen a continued erosion of U.S. NGOs’ ability to deliver critical humanitarian programs in Pakistan as well as an uptick in targeted violence against humanitarian workers. I fear the CIA’s activities in Pakistan and the perception that U.S. NGOs have ties with intelligence efforts may have contributed to these alarming developments.”

CIA spokesman Preston Golson, queried for this article, said he couldn’t comment on “any possible operational activity.” But he noted: “The agency is receptive to the views of the NGO community, and met with community representatives for a full and frank exchange on their concerns.”

The Afridi case is an example of what the CIA calls “cover for action.” The doctor was running a real vac-

To the editor: On Nov. 6, 2011, a Journal-World Saturday Column opined that Lawrence folks should pay a lot more attention to academics and a lot less to sports.

On Nov. 8, I wrote, paraphrasing Mark Twain, that the J-W is in an excellent position to actually do something about it. On Nov. 10 and 11, three articles appeared about the college choices of Lawrence prep swimmers, each with a color photo. In those same two days, six “public events,” nine lectures, four concerts, the opening of “A MidsummerNight’s Dream,” and a distinguished professor’s inaugural lecture, all at Kansas University, received nary a mention.

On May 24, 2012, Chancellor GrayLittle presided over the annual luncheon honoring retiring faculty and staff who had contributed, in sum, 992 years of service to KU. A number of the honorees would themselves have made good press.

For example, University Distinguished Professor Richard DeGeorge served for an astounding 53 years and had a delightful anecdote about his 1968 facedown of Students for a Democratic Society. Think about those missed opportunities the next time the J-W editorializes for a better balance between academics and sports. Or lavishly reports a high-school hoopster’s visit to KU that might or might not result in a commitment for one to four years.

Local focus To the editor: How disappointing! On the back page of this Sunday’s edition are three out-of-state pictures about Memorial Day activities. One was a picture of Boy

Scouts putting out flags. Why not put in a picture of local Boy Scouts doing that instead? It was possible because that’s exactly what was happening about two miles from the Journal-World office. Even if no one notified you, good reporters check sources to see what is happening.

Dozens of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and 4-H members were involved in three Memorial Day activities at Oak Hill Cemetery on Saturday morning.

Local Boy Scouts helped Sons of Union Soldiers put flags on graves of Civil War veterans. Later in the morning, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and 4-H members honored the memory of Alfred Bromelsick who left his estate to the benefit of those three organizations. And finally, led by Boy Scout Troop 60 from Lawrence’s First Baptist Church, Boy Scouts from several troops conducted a solemn flag retirement ceremony.

Some wonderful pictures of all three events can be seen on Facebook by searching for the “Pelathe District” pages. I hope the community will take a look and recognize the duty to country that these young people displayed so well on Saturday.

And I hope the Journal-World will try to cover local stories with local pictures instead of relying on wire photos with no relevance to the local community. Local news sells newspapers. Wire copy doesn’t.

Keith Wood, Lawrence

Fighting nature To the editor: In 1975, I (Joy) was student teaching at what was then Grant School. I took the class on a walking field trip to the woods along Mud Creek, delighted that there was a natural wooded habitat so

near. A short time later, the creek was channelized: woods cut down, banks straightened and lined with rock. We thought that in recent years scientists had agreed that channelizing creeks just made the water rush through faster to increase flooding downsteam and were hopeful that the channelization of Mud Creek was being allowed to reverse itself with time.

Alas, this was not the case. As we drive south from our farm, crossing Mud Creek on our way to Lawrence, we have been watching the massive machinery cutting the trees growing along the creek north of the airport. We were sad at the demise, once again, of the woods, but hoped that at least the cut wood would be well-utilized. Now we see that it has been chipped into mulch.

The creek is exposed to the direct rays of the sun, habitat is destroyed, and a resource was turned into the least useful product. The highest use of a mature tree is not wood chips.

We cannot afford to continue to waste our natural resources in this way, nor can we continue to act as though we can manipulate the water flowing through our community without causing undesirable consequences both here and downstream.

Big 12 leaders: League set at 10

CYCLING

Queen of Pain

Extreme cyclist Rusch chases racing’s thrills to Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — If the Big 12 Conference is planning to expand in the near future, its leaders sure are putting forth a strong effort to hide it.

Wednesday, after the opening round of the conference’s annual spring meetings at the Intercontinental Hotel near The Plaza, interim commissioner Chuck Neinas, Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard and Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione took time to address a group of reporters that even included one writer who covers Florida State for the Tallahassee Democrat.

The question on everyone’s mind was whether the Big 12 had any interest in expanding back to 12 or beyond. The answer that was given repeatedly throughout the question-and-answer session was, “No.” “We did (discuss expansion),” Neinas said while answering the opening question. “And the athletic directors confirmed their position that they’re comfortable with 10 members.”

After stating that right out of the gate, all three men were asked in a variety of different ways about Florida State, Notre Dame, Clemson and other schools rumored to be at least on the radar of Big 12 expansion. Although all three presented a unified front, none of them chose to squash the speculation 100 percent, despite being given repeated chances throughout the hour or so that they spoke to reporters.

“We deal with what we know,” Castiglione said.

“Not hypotheticals.”

Skeptics of the Big 12’s current stance point to similar words that came from the SEC office during the summer of 2011. After announcing publicly that the league was pleased with its lineup at the time, the SEC jumped at the opportunity to scoop up Texas A&M and, later, Missouri, but only after those two schools first severed ties with the Big 12.

Whether that’s what’s happening here is anyone’s guess, but Neinas, Pollard and Castiglione each said that the schools rumored to be linked to potential Big 12 expansion never were so much as mentioned during Wednesday’s meetings.

“We’re not talking about them,” Castiglione said.

“We’re talking about 10.”

When pressed for clarification by the reporter from Florida, Neinas confirmed that the Big 12 had not been contacted by Florida State and added, “and we have not reached out to Florida State.”

As the questions concerning why 10 schools is ideal for the Big 12 piled up, Neinas continually pointed to what he believes is right with the league. He made mention of the addition of TCU and West Virginia and the greater sense of unity that has come with the elimination of divisions. He also briefly talked about the vastly improved television deals the league has secured with ESPN and FOX and highlighted the recent agreement with the SEC to create the Champions Bowl, which would pit the Big 12 and SEC football champions against one another in a postseason bowl game, provided those teams are not a part of the anticipated final four that appears destined to replace the current BCS system.

While all of those examples of the league’s strength and stability were known coming into the day, many Please see BIG 12, page 4B

PROFESSIONAL ENDURANCE MOUNTAIN BIKER REBECCA RUSCH WILL SPEAK tonight at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop in Lawrence. Rusch holds world and national titles in several long-distance races.

They call her the Queen of Pain, but don’t be misled.

Though the moniker is a tribute to her melding of passion and profession, Rebecca Rusch is no whipwielding kinkstress. Outfitted in Lycra, not leather, Rusch saddles up and puts the hurt only on fellow mountain-biking masochists.

The nickname is both a nod to her ability to spank the competition and endure the agony that goes along with riding a bike for ridiculously long distances and times.

“It makes me laugh,” Rusch says of her nickname. “You don’t necessarily choose your nickname. Other people choose your nicknames for you.”

True, but many an outcast elementary schooler has been saddled with “Smelly McBoogereater” but doesn’t make it his Twitter handle.

“I don’t want to inflict pain on myself,” said Rusch (@thequeenofpain on Twitter). “Maybe it’s more the Queen of Pain Management.”

Whatever the case, the QOP — who will be in town tonight to speak to at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop — has become awfully good at what she does, which is pedal a bike longerfasterbetter than just about anybody around.

Just a few of her jaw-dropping bicycle results: Q three-time winner of the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and current record holder Q national cross country singlespeed champion Q world masters cross country champion Q three-time 24-hour solo mountain bike world champion Q and 24-hour team mountain bike national champion.

“I have an affinity,” she said, “to go long distances, to put my head down and be in that pain cave.

Everybody knows somebody who has done something super-hard, something where you’re thinking, ‘I can’t do it,’ and you do it. You finish something like that, it’s a very addictive drug. I guess I’m just chasing that reinforcement over and over again.”

Royals beat Indians, end May on high note “

It’s time to forget about the (losing) streak.

We’ve played really good baseball from that point on and we’re going to continue to get better.”

— Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost, whose team has gone 18-14 since losing 12 straight from April 11-24

The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — The Kansas City Royals are headed home on a high note.

Wednesday’s 6-3 win over the Cleveland Indians was significant on several fronts for the Royals. The victory gave Kansas City a 5-4 road trip in which it won four of its last six games. The Royals, who are off Thursday, finished May with a 15-13 record, their first winning mark in the month since 2000.

Kansas City, which took two of three in both Baltimore and Cleveland after losing two of three in New York to open the trip, is 16-11 on the road. The Royals are 18-14 since losing 12 straight from April 11-24.

“It’s time to forget about the streak,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

“We’ve played really good baseball from that point on and we’re going to continue to get better.”

THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS CONGRATULATE ALEX GORDON in the dugout after he scored on a single by Johnny Giavotella during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday in Cleveland.

“We played three good teams,” said left fielder Alex Gordon, who had two hits and drove in a run. “Baltimore and Cleveland are at the top of their divisions.

We’re starting to play a little better. This road trip is definitely a positive.”

Bruce Chen overcame a

Kansas City rally from a 3-0 deficit.

Chen worked the first five innings before relievers Tim Collins, Aaron Crow, Jose Mijares and Jonathan Broxton pitched scoreless ball over the final four innings.

Broxton worked a shaky ninth for his 11th save.

Broxton retired the first batter, but Shin-Soo Choo walked and Jason Kipnis singled. Asdrubal Cabrera walked to load the bases, but Jose Lopez hit into a gameending double play.

Cleveland, which has lost five of six, fell to 4-11 against left-handed starters.

Chen, who improved to 6-3 against Cleveland, chuckled when asked if he had to grind out the victory.

“It was a battle,” he said.

“The bullpen did a great job. Once we got the lead, I couldn’t let my teammates down. It was a total team win.”

rocky second inning and the Royals scored their first five runs with two outs.

Chen (4-5) held Cleveland scoreless after giving up three runs in the second.

Gordon, Johnny Giavotella, Mike Moustakas, Jeff Francoeur and Brayan Pena each had run-scoring hits to help O Box score on page 4B

NBA PLAYOFFS

Heat take 2-0 lead against Celtics MIAMI (AP) — The biggest postseason comeback in Miami Heat franchise history wasn’t enough.

The Heat needed more — and got it, digging deep to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

LeBron James scored 34 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 23 and the Heat rallied from 15 down to beat the Boston Celtics, 115-111 in overtime, on Wednesday night.

Mario Chalmers scored 22 for the Heat, who won despite an unbelievable night by Rajon Rondo. The Celtics guard played all 53 minutes and scored 44 points, dished out 10 assists and grabbed eight rebounds.

The Heat expected Boston’s best — and the Celtics didn’t disappoint. “This group had resolve,�

Wade said of the Celtics. “They came out and played a great game. It was physical early.

They brought the game to us.

That can’t happen. We used our crowd and the energy to get back into the game and we had to play better.�

Paul Pierce scored 21 points, Kevin Garnett added 18 and Ray Allen 13 for Boston.

Rondo finished 16 of 24 from the floor, 10 of 12 from the foul line and made both his threepoint tries. “He was absolutely phenomenal,� Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “Put us, put the whole team at times on his shoulders. ... We had a lot of opportunities to win the game.�

Allen’s 3-pointer with 34.3 seconds left tied the game at 99all. James missed two shots, first a layup — he got the rebound of his own miss — and then a jumper on the final possession of regulation, and to overtime they went. “We had to do it the tough way,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Game 3 is Friday in Boston.

MIAMI’S LEBRON JAMES, RIGHT, DRIVES AGAINST Boston’s Paul Pierce. The Heat defeated the Celtics, 115-111 in overtime, Wednesday night in Miami.

The Heat had come back to win from 14 points down in playoff games twice before, first in Game 6 of the 2006 NBA finals — their title clincher — and again last season against Philadelphia.

And this one was slipping away, more than once. James missed two free throws 21 seconds into overtime, and Miami looked in trouble. But the Heat held on, in a game where they took 47 free throws — 24 by James — to Boston’s 29.

The scoring dossier in overtime began like this: Rondo scored, Heat tied it, Rondo scored, Heat tied it, Rondo scored, Heat tied it.

When Rondo missed a layup — he thought he was fouled, and the Celtics agreed — with 1:33 left, Miami took advantage, with Udonis Haslem getting a dunk to put the Heat up 105-103. And after a turnover on the next Boston possession, Wade drove the lane, hit the deck and watched

as his layup bounced on the rim and dropped through.

Garnett stood over Wade and glared, to no avail. Wade hit the free throw, and Miami was up 110-105 with 59.7 seconds left.

On a night where the Heat missed 16 free throws — including at least four by James in crucial situations — they would survive. “Now we’re going home,�

Boston’s Mickael Pietrus said. “Our jersey is going to be white.

They got two. Fine, good for them. But we’re going home now and you know what that means.�

Miami was down by 15 in the first half and by as many as 11 in the third quarter, before a pair of 3-pointers by James started a comeback. Wade made consecutive jumpers midway through the third to shake off a slow start to his night and get the Heat within three both times, and the 2006 NBA finals MVP set up Haslem for a three-point

Hornets win draft lottery for top pick NEW YORK (AP) — The New Orleans Hornets, recently sold by the NBA to Saints owner Tom Benson, have won the NBA’s draft lottery and the No. 1 pick overall.

The Hornets, after a difficult season in which they traded All-Star Chris Paul, have a shot to add another superstar, with Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis considered the best player available.

The Hornets moved up from the fourth spot, where they had a 13.7 percent chance, to earn the pick.

The Charlotte Bobcats, after the worst season in NBA history, fell to the No. 2 pick. Washington will pick third and Cleveland fell one spot to fourth.

The league bought the Hornets from owner George Shinn in December 2010 and the sale to Benson was completed in April. The league was criticized for the conflict of interest of a league owning a franchise, particularly when Commissioner David Stern blocked a trade that would have sent Paul to the Lakers in December, then approved another that landed Paul with the Clippers.

The ownership uncertainty hindered the Hornets, but they were in a celebrating mood Wednesday after earning the No. 1 pick for the first time since 1991, when they were still in Charlotte and took Larry Johnson.

The big loser — as usual in their historically bad season — were the Bobcats. They had a 25 percent chance of grabbing the No. 1 pick, but instead will have to take the best player after Davis, college’s player of the year after leading the Wildcats to the national championship.

The team with the worst record hasn’t won since Orlando drafted Dwight Howard in 2004.

Top seeds advance in France; Venus stumbles PARIS — The top-seeded players had early starts at the French Open on Wednesday, and both Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka made it to the third round without a problem.

A short time later, 2009 champion Roger Federer joined them, earning his record-breaking 234th victory at Grand Slam tournaments.

Former top-ranked player Venus Williams was eliminated, a day after little sister Serena lost in the first round. The seven-time Grand Slam champion, who was playing at a major tournament for the first time since revealing she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, lost to third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, 6-2, 6-3.

Djokovic was first up on Court Suzanne Lenglen, and he was barely troubled by Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, winning 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 for his 23rd straight Grand Slam victory.

In the main stadium at Roland Garros, Azarenka defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany, 6-1, 6-1 — two days after struggling to win her opening match.

Federer had an easy run in the first two sets, but then wasted two match points in the third.

He saved all six break points to beat Adrian Ungur of Romania, 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3, on Court Philippe Chatrier.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Kentucky-Indiana talks stall INDIANAPOLIS — Negotiations to keep the Kentucky-Indiana series going have broken down for the second time.

Indiana officials announced May 3 that they could not reach a deal to extend the contract, which expired after last season.

According to a letter between the school’s two athletic directors obtained Wednesday, negotiations resumed on May 10 and didn’t end until Kentucky’s DeWayne Peevy contacted Indiana officials May 24 to reject the offer.

PRO FOOTBALL

Pro Bowl staying in Hawaii NEW YORK — After a promise from players that the game will be more competitive, the NFL will hold the Pro Bowl in Honolulu next Jan. 27, a week before the Super Bowl.

Commissioner Roger Goodell had made it clear canceling the all-star game was a possibility after this year’s 59-41 AFC victory did not meet the standards the league wants.

Following discussions between the league and the NFL Players Association, the NFL announced

Wednesday that Aloha Stadium would host the Pro Bowl for the third straight year.

New NFLPA President Domonique Foxworth says the players consider the Pro Bowl “an important tradition.�

Vikings CB Allen retires EDEN PRAIRIE, MINN. — The Minnesota Vikings announced Wednesday that cornerback Asher Allen has retired from football, a curious decision for a 24-year-old who was about to enter only his fourth NFL season.

PRO BASKETBALL

Bobcats won’t pick Ewing CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Bobcats President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins says the team will hire a new head coach within the next couple of weeks, but it won’t be Patrick Ewing. Higgins said that owner Michael Jordan informed Ewing that the team plans to hire someone other than him to replace Paul Silas.

Los Angeles wins Game 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Anze Kopitar scored a spectacular goal on a breakaway with 11:47 left in overtime Wednesday night, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils, 2-1, in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Kopitar faked a backhand shot, put the puck on his forehand and beat a prone Martin Brodeur.

Los Angeles has won all nine of its road games in the playoffs.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Langford wins Israeli title

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University guard Keith Langford has returned to the United States with another championship on his resume.

The 28-year-old Maccabi Tel Aviv standout — who was named MVP of the Adriatic League’s Final Four in early May — scored 16 points in Thursday’s 83-63 Israeli League title game victory over Maccabi Ashdod.

Langford — he is a free agent rumored to be headed to either Italy or Istanbul for about $1.5 million annually — plans

on traveling to Lawrence from his offseason home of Austin, Texas, in June.

“He said he’ll be coming back to his old stomping ground and work out with me a little bit,” said KU junior forward Justin Wesley, who is Langford’s brother. Wesley recently spent two weeks working out with his brother’s personal trainer, Celester Collier, in Austin.

“Two weeks every day for three or four hours a day. He not only works me out, but is a mentor, too,” the 6-9, 220-pound Wesley said.

Wesley averaged 1.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and

8.6 minutes in 38 games last season. As far as potential playing time in his junior campaign ...

“I mean I’ve not really looked at who is ranked this or that and who is coming in,” he said of a class of Anrio Adams, Perry Ellis, Landen Lucas, Zach Peters and Andrew White, plus freshmen redshirts Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor. “We’ll see when everybody gets here and we start playing and working out. I’m not really thinking about that right now.”

O T-Rob in the draft: Former KU forward Thomas

Robinson’s hometown Washington Wizards may have to trade up a spot if they hope to land the 6-10 forward in the NBA Draft.

New Orleans, which figures to take Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, won Wednesday’s lottery followed by Charlotte, Washington, Cleveland, Sacramento, Portland, Golden State and Toronto. USA Today, Sporting News and draftexpress.com say Charlotte will take Robinson. ESPN. com’s Chad Ford has Robinson falling to No. 5 and Sacramento. Ford’s top five: Davis, Michael KiddGilchrist, Brad Beal, Harrison Barnes and Robinson.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Chisox win eighth straight The Associated Press

American League White Sox 4, Rays 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Alexei Ramirez drove in two runs, and Chicago extended its winning streak to a season-high eight games with a victory over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Dayan Viciedo had a run-scoring single and Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly to help Chicago take a 3-1 lead in the third. Ramirez made it 4-1 with an RBI double in the fifth.

Luke Scott and Carlos Pena homered for the Rays, who have lost nine of their last 13 games at home.

White Sox starter Jose Quintana was ejected by plate umpire Mark Wegner with two outs in the fourth when he threw a pitch behind Ben Zobrist at knee level. Chicago manager Robin Ventura was also tossed by Wegner for arguing.

Twins 4, Athletics 0 MINNEAPOLIS — Francisco Liriano’s return to the Minnesota rotation was a rousing success, with six shutout innings by the left-hander to lead the Twins past Oakland, the Athletics’ eighth straight loss.

Liriano (1-5) retired the last 11 batters he faced and struck out nine, the most this season by any Twins pitcher. He allowed only two walks with a double and two singles against the worst-hitting team in the majors that brought a brutal .212 batting average into the game.

Rockies 13, Astros 5 DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez hit three home runs in his last three at-bats, Michael Cuddyer belted a grand slam, and Dexter Fowler also homered, leading Colorado past Houston.

The game was not without some concern for the Rockies, however. Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left the game in the top of the seventh with what the team said was a strained left groin. Tulowitzki appeared a little gimpy as he returned to the dugout after running out an infield groundout in the bottom of the sixth.

Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

still wondered if the Big 12 was and is making a mistake by not taking a more aggressive approach for a third straight summer.

“I would say the position we’re in is very proactive,” Pollard said.

“We’re making the proactive decision to say 10 is in our best interest. We think we’re positioned in a way that we’ve got (everything) covered and can act accordingly if we feel we need to. But, right now, we think the way it’s going to turn out is we may be the one that’s left standing (while everyone else says), ‘They had this thing figured out a year ago or two years ago.’”

Rusch CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Rusch, 43, didn’t always do it on a bike.

Her first taste of endurance racing came in high school on the cross country team. Then came skiing and adventure racing, and she was crazy-successful at all of them.

Then she lost her adventure-racing sponsor and, with a year left in her deal with Red Bull, Rusch looked around and wondered just what would fill the void.

“I hated cycling,” she said. “I was lousy at it. I was uneducated and unskilled, and you never like to do things you’re lousy at. That’s the last thing I would have chosen. But I couldn’t think of anything else to do. I was always in endurance. I was a lousy sprinter. When adventure racing folded, I racked my brain. Ultra-running came to mind, but you see those races and they seem to brutally painful on the body. The only other thing was mountain-bike racing.

“But I didn’t think I would start a cycling career. I was just doing something to fill time for the last year of my Red Bull contract. I did one, and it all snowballed from there and became a cycling career. It really was unexpected.”

That career has taken her around the world.

Rusch, who still marvels that she can call herself a professional athlete, rules Leadville, the brutal 100-mile Colorado race contested at altitude and has competed in the Moroccan dessert and Costa Rican jungle.

Added Neinas, yet again: “The future looks bright for the Big 12 Conference. Bigger is not necessarily better.”

As for the league’s official take on the best system to improve upon the BCS mess with a fourteam football playoff at the end of the season, that stance was much more clear.

“We’re in favor of taking the four highest ranked teams,” Neinas said. “And we think there should be some type of selection committee situation and strength of schedule must, underscore must, be included in any analysis.”

A decision from the BCS is expected by the end of June. The Big 12 spring meetings resume today and will wrap up Friday morning.

Next up is Saturday’s Dirty Kanza 200, a 200mile gravel-road sufferfest beginning and ending in Emporia.

“Dirty Kanza has a cult following,” Rusch said.

“Registration fills up in a few minutes. Lots of people don’t finish. Call me a glutton for punishment, but those things appeal to me. I was in Morocco. The next most exotic locale I could think of was Kansas.”

Rusch, who lives in Ketchum, Idaho, said tonight’s visit to Sunflower was a culmination.

She rides for Specialized Bikes, and Sunflower is a Specialized shop. Occasionally, Specialized lets its athletes and dealers get — and ride — together, and Rusch thus came to know Sunflower owner Dan Hughes.

Hughes is an accomplished racer himself — he can pedal what he peddles — and so caught Rusch’s attention.

She had heard of Dirty Kanza (of which, incidentally, Hughes is the reigning solo-division men’s open champ) and was intrigued by the challenge.

She counts Olathe-based Garmin among her sponsors.

And then there’s Hughes.

“We have a friendly competition,” Rusch said.

“He doesn’t like to get ‘chicked,’ that’s for sure. …

But he’s a super-strong rider, and he loves what he’s doing. I always wanted to visit his shop and Kansas, and since I’m racing there, there were just a lot of good reasons to go there.”

Her talk, tentatively titled “Commitment and Reaching Your Maximum Potential,” will start at 7 tonight at Sunflower (804 Mass. Street). It’s free and open to the public.

Landscaping LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

LOW MAINTENANCE LANDSCAPE GARDEN TOUR / OPEN HOUSE Low Maintenance Landscape Garden tours (and plant sales) are cancelled this year. We have enjoyed the opportunity to host free garden tours in the past. However, we have decided that it is too expensive to obtain the necessary “special event permit” needed to host garden tours that are open to the public.

We do offer private tours of the garden with a horticulturist to answer plant questions. The cost for the consultation is $50 for up to 4 people for 1 hour. The cost is free if you sign up for our landscape design service starting at $400.

The garden features a large collection of unusual plants, native plants, and “hardy tropicals” Waterfalls, rock outcroppings, flagstone patios, and landscape lighting. The garden was developed for several reasons. It is used to observe plant growth and wildlife through out the different seasons. The garden was also developed as a demonstration garden to show clients plant materials and construction techniques.

The garden serves as a plant experimental testing grounds, to see which new and unusual plants will grow in Lawrence, KS. The tour is also great for DIY people getting ideas. Please remember, you must call to schedule an appoint785-550-5610 ment or 785-865-8341.

Dear Annie: My son has been dating “Meredith” for quite some time. They live together at college and plan to marry next year.

I don’t know how to handle this girl. She never says thank you when you give her a gift, even in person, or when we cook dinner for her. And when the rest of us get up to clear the table, she just sits there. It’s awkward for me to ask her to help.

She apparently was brought up without manners. I have discussed this with my son, who doesn’t seem to care, but it irks me to no end. Worse, my son always seems to be taking care of her. He rubs her back, clears her plate and brings her drinks and snacks. She never responds in kind.

This is going to create a lot of tension at future family get-togethers, and I want to say something before they marry.

Do I just tell her my feelings directly and let the

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

chips fall? — New Jersey Dear New Jersey: Please don’t. It’s possible that Meredith is horrifically shy and cannot bring herself to respond in a normal way. That would require that you patiently teach her. But if that’s not the case, you have a rude, indulged girl who isn’t going to change unless your son insists on it. And he has no intention of doing so.

Talk to your son as neutrally as possible. Ask if Meredith treats you so poorly on purpose and, if so, why. Ask what you

Summer: when dance gets serious Summer, it seems, is the dance season for those who aren’t “Dancing With the Stars.” Fox waits for the “X-Factor” and “American Idol” to finish before airing “So You Think You Can Dance.” In many ways, “Dance” is the superior series, featuring much more assured, mature talent and showcasing an art form less familiar to most of us.

But like most of these contests, we only get to see the performers after years of training and dedication.

How did they get that good?

Along comes the new dance series “Breaking Pointe” (7 p.m., CW).

It’s the second CW summer show (after “The Catalina”) to offer a documentary-style, behind-the-scenes look at a particular subculture. Here we enter an elite ballet corps, where the emphasis is on brutal training, leading to physical perfection, athletic stamina and an exquisite sense of grace and movement. Add a constant fear of being cut, gaining weight or getting injured and you can understand why films about dance are so often linked to inner demons.

“Touch” (7 p.m., Fox) concludes its first season with a twohour finale. I’ve always found this Kiefer Sutherland drama a tad baffling. And I’m not talking about its mystical math. It just never made sense that Fox would air the pilot and then put the show on the shelf for two months before bringing it back and then wrapping it up a week after the TV season ended.

Jim Parsons can be seen on “The Big Bang Theory” tonight.

He also shows up on both “The Daily Show” and “Late Show With David Letterman.” He will appear later in June on CBS’ coverage of Broadway’s Tony Awards and will star on Broadway in a new adaptation of “Harvey,” opening June 14.

The guy’s all over the place.

Tonight’s other highlights

On two episodes of “The Office” (NBC): Dwight takes the ball (7 p.m.), and runs it into the ground (7:30 p.m.).

Celebrity mentors perform with their proteges on “Duets” (7 p.m., ABC). This is the ProAm golf tournament version of a singing competition.

Bad luck and trouble on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

A dedicated blogger tracks a killer on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

Tampa tryouts on “America’s Got Talent” (9 p.m., NBC).

A student prank goes too far on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC).

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be another show about buying and selling stuff, “Final Offer” (9 p.m., Discovery) debuts. Tonight: NASCAR artifacts and a link to Babe Ruth.

BIRTHDAYS

Actor-director Clint Eastwood is 82. Singer Peter Yarrow is 74.

Former Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite is 73. Actress Sharon Gless is 69. Football Hall-of-Famer Joe Namath is 69. Actor Tom Berenger is 62. Actor Gregory Harrison is 62. Comedian Chris Elliott is 52. Actress Lea Thompson is 51. Singer Corey Hart is 50.

Rapper DMC is 48. Actress Brooke Shields is 47. Actor Colin Farrell is 36.

can do to improve things.

But we urge you to do it without condemning Meredith, which would force your son to defend her.

The point is to make him think about what his future with her will be like.

If nothing changes, please find something to appreciate about this girl even if it kills you. The alternative is to risk alienating your son.

Dear Annie: I am 45 years old, have never been married and do not have kids. I am a straight man looking for a longterm relationship but have had no luck finding the right lady. I have tried several dating websites, to no avail. I keep meeting divorced women with issues and baggage far beyond what I can handle. My longest relationship lasted nine months and ended abruptly.

I have no problem dating divorcees with kids, but they don’t seem to want a man in my situation. And I’m having

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 31: This year you naturally do and say the right thing. As a result, much will fall on your plate. You also have an unusual blend of charisma and creativity, which allows you to manifest many long-term desires. If you are single, you have a tendency to choose someone much older or younger than yourself. If you are attached, the two of you work even better together.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Defer to others, and let them figure out what is happening.

When they come back with suggestions, analysis and information, you will be able to make a decision.

Tonight: Get on the phone and make plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You push ahead into new turf; you rarely question where you are. If you look around, you’ll realize that you are by yourself. Tonight: Sometimes fatigue is a result of stress. Take a nap.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You seem to have a flair for making situations work, or you might make an adjustment to make sure it works. Remember to call a friend or loved one. Tonight: Start your weekend early.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Settle in and decide which way to go with an important decision. You might push someone too far. Tonight: Happy at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You make your points so clear that you often are understood. Even as precise as you can be, one person remains closed down.

Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have many assets

trouble meeting women who have never been married and don’t have children. What can I do?

— Single Too Long Dear Single: There are drawbacks to being 45 with no baggage.

People wonder what’s wrong with you. Gather your closest friends and relatives and ask for an honest critique of your date-ability. Be willing to work on their suggestions. (Counseling can help if the issues relate to your basic personality.)

The rest is going where the women are. Do some volunteer work. Travel.

Join a choir, community theater, church group, political organization, whatever interests you. It will give women a chance to get to know you without the pressure of a relationship — and vice versa.

And keep in mind that becoming a stepfather can be rewarding as well as challenging. Please don’t dismiss it so quickly. jacquelinebigar.com

and talents. Consider adding to your income through one of your innate gifts if you no longer want to feel so restricted by money.

Tonight: Squeeze in a relaxing soak.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a charming way about you that helps others gravitate toward you and open up. How you see someone could change radically as a result. Tonight: Do for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others want to express their competency and take over a job, chore or errand. Let them.

Tonight: Take some private time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your innate ability to bring out the best in others attracts many people. What an entourage!

Tonight: Where the fun is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to change gears when dealing with someone. He or she demands your respect. Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your willingness to stretch beyond your present mental stance makes you even more laid-back, as you incorporate different views. Your empathy and understanding toward others build.

Tonight: Make plans for a getaway.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to juggle various elements of your life or different people. A close friend or associate might be overwhelmed by everything that is going on. Tonight: Choose your favorite person and have fun.
