Arch rivalry KANSAS VS. NORTH CAROLINA • 4:05 P.M. TODAY

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON LISTENS TO A QUESTION from a media member during a breakout session with reporters on Saturday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

KU will meet North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of Eight today.

Robinson keeps KU focused — on Heels

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — Thomas Robinson was tempted to start a food fight with Kansas University basketball teammate/ best buddy Tyshawn Taylor during brunch Saturday in a ballroom at the Hyatt Regency at the Arch Hotel.

“We got into an argument,

like a full-blown argument, like a serious one,” said Robinson, ready to turn over Taylor’s plate of lasagna and garlic bread after hearing the senior point guard mention how great it’d be to be in next week’s Final Four in New Orleans.

“I’m just scared to overlook anybody now. I’m scared to think about next

week, scared to think about Monday. I’ve seen what happens when you do that,” junior forward Robinson added. “I don’t want that to happen anymore. I’m tired of going home crying ... so I’m trying to fix every little mistake that caused us to go home last year.”

Robinson admittedly is a bit “paranoid” as he focuses

on taking it one game at a time heading into today’s 4:05 p.m. Elite Eight contest between No. 2 seed KU (306) and No. 1 seed North Carolina (32-5) at Edward Jones Dome.

“I’m not comfortable, man.

I think that’s my biggest problem with coach (Bill Self),” said Big 12 player of the year Robinson, a lock to

Today won’t define Taylor’s career Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — Shielded more from the media during the season, when the locker rooms are off-limits to reporters, Kansas University basketball players get questions fired at them on a far more regular basis during the NCAA Tournament.

It can add to the pressure they feel when the questions

zero in on the enormity of the upcoming game.

Could this (today’s Elite Eight game against North Carolina), somebody asked on Saturday of KU senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, be the “defining game of your career?”

How much pressure can one tire take, for crying out loud?

“I think it could be because offensively I haven’t been playing too well,” Taylor said. “I don’t want to put extra pressure on myself, but I just know I can’t play too much worse offensively.

I’m actually looking forward to playing.”

WOMEN’S SWEET 16 • TENNESSEE 84, KANSAS 73

KU overcomes adversity, but can’t overcome UT

KANSAS’ ASIA BOYD HUGS TEAMMATE ANGEL GOODRICH, CENTER, as Chelsea Gardner approaches after the Jayhawks’ 84-73 loss to Tennessee in a Round of 16 game Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.

DES MOINES, IOWA — Nothing came easily for Kansas University’s women’s basketball team this season.

The Jayhawks’ trip to the Sweet 16 was no different.

After seeing one of its top players unexpectedly transfer in December and its All-Big 12 forward suffer a season-ending ACL injury in February, KU rode junior point guard Angel Goodrich to some March Madness magic before Tennessee derailed the No. 11 seed’s rollercoaster season with an 84-73 victory Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our resiliency and our toughness,” Jayhawks coach

Bonnie Henrickson said after tying the program’s deepest NCAA Tournament run with its third appearance in a regional semifinal.

That grit was on display throughout the first half, when KU (21-13) led by as many as 14 points, with everything clicking.

Goodrich (game-highs of 23 points and six assists) was her usual do-it-all self, but her teammates matched her flamboyance and productivity in the early going.

Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner, who only became a starter after junior Carolyn Davis tore her ACL, scored eight of KU’s first 10 points. Freshman guard Natalie Knight scored on a fastbreak layup. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who had

missed her first three shots, confidently drilled a baseline jumper. Goodrich scored seven straight points, and following a three from the left corner by sophomore forward Tania Jackson and a smooth reverse layup by Sutherland, Kansas had built a 26-12 lead on the No. 2-seed Volunteers (27-8).

Said Gardner, who finished with 14 points and a team-leading 10 rebounds: “The first couple minutes of the game, we came out with a lot of energy on defense and offense and were hitting a lot of shots.”

Things were going so well for Kansas that when junior Monica Engelman swung the ball to an open Goodrich in Please see KU WOMEN, page 4A

Nebraska’s new coach asks for patience LINCOLN, NEB. (AP) — New Nebraska coach Tim Miles is aware that many Big Red fans don’t recognize his name and might feel let down by his hiring.

He said it’s perfectly understandable, considering he spent 12 of his 17 years as a head coach at places like Maywood State, Southwest Minnesota State and North Dakota State before he went to Colorado State five years ago. “You look at those schools, and you don’t know who this guy is,� Miles said Saturday at his introductory news confer-

ence. “Husker fans, you give us a chance. We’re going to come through for you. We’ve exceeded expectations everywhere we’ve been, and I intend to continue to do the same. “We’re dealing with the elite basketball conference in the country, the Big Ten. It’s going to be a blast.�

The 45-year-old Miles is the latest in a string of mid-major coaches who have gone to Nebraska with the hope of turning around a long-struggling program. It hasn’t won a conference championship since 1950 and has never won an NCAA

Tournament game in six appearances, the last one in 1998.

Miles said many people might look at his hiring as the “same old recipe.� But he’s confident he can succeed where others have failed because Nebraska has upped its commitment to men’s basketball with October’s opening of a new practice facility and the construction of a 16,000-seat arena in downtown Lincoln that opens for the 201314 season. “Bricks and mortar aren’t enough,� he said, “but it’s a big factor.�

Nebraska athletic director

Tom Osborne said Miles was among six candidates interviewed. Osborne declined to name the others. Miles’ salary and contract haven’t been finalized. “People talk about how you want to hire a guy who has been to the Final Four,� Osborne said. “The Final Four guy isn’t going to want to come here and put the kind of energy and emotion and personal investment that it’s going to take.

You want a guy who is young enough, enthusiastic enough and energetic enough to get over the hump.�

Heat players make strong statement

Woods leads entering final round at Bay Hill

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat aren’t the first athletes to use a photo to make a statement.

Gold medal swimmer Amanda Beard did it to much less fanfare four years ago in Beijing when she unveiled a nude poster of herself in front of an American flag in an antifur protest at the Olympics.

The Chinese weren’t happy about it, showing up at the hotel and shutting down a news conference before it began.

Beard ended up displaying the poster in an impromptu gathering outside the athletes’ village, while police and security officials looked on.

Wade and the Heat faced no such problems. LeBron James posted a picture Friday that showed the team wearing hoodies, with each of the players’ heads bowed and hands in pockets — putting the image in front of his millions of Twitter followers.

Later that night, the Heat took the court in Detroit with slogans honoring slain teenager Trayvon Martin written on their shoes.

It was simple, yet dramatic.

And it accomplished what Wade, James and others wanted — to bring even more attention to a case that has sparked a nationwide outcry. “You never know, that could be your kid,� James said. “As leaders and as role models we’re happy we can shed the light on a situation we feel isn’t right.�

If it seems personal to the Heat, that’s because it is. James and Wade are both the fathers of two sons, and they played in the All-Star game on the same night when Martin — a black 17-year-old wearing a hoodie as he walked to a family home after buying some iced tea and candy — was shot to death by a community watch volunteer a few miles from Orlando’s Amway Arena.

The more they heard and read about the case, the more outrageous it seemed. The more they thought about it, the more they wanted their voices heard.

Nothing wrong with that, unless the slogans on their shoes draw attention from David Stern’s uniform police for violating the NBA’s strict guidelines. Even admirable, if you subscribe to the theory that they could be making enemies — or cost themselves shoe sales — by inserting themselves into a controversial case.

If Wade and James were making a statement, though, they made a very careful one.

Unlike the NBA players’ union, they didn’t call for the resignation of the police chief in the Florida community where Martin was shot to death, or demand the immediate arrest of the person who shot him.

Instead, they talked as fathers with sons who ask for hoodies for Christmas.

And they talked about their hope that justice would be done.

ORLANDO, FLA. — One swing cost Tiger Woods a comfortable lead at Bay Hill. All that mattered to him was his name atop the leaderboard at the end of the day, leaving him one round away from winning on the PGA Tour for the first time in 30 months.

If anything, Saturday showed that it won’t be easy in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

In two holes, Woods went from a four-shot lead to briefly tied with Graeme McDowell after a bizarre chain of events that featured a young man passing out and a woman screaming, all in the middle of Woods’ swing on the 15th tee. But he followed the double bogey with a birdie from a fairway bunker on the par-5 16th to restore his lead, and then hung on for a 1-under 71 that gave him a one-shot lead over McDowell going into the final round.

McDowell didn’t make a birdie until the 17th hole, but he was bogey-free for a 71.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fired a 70 and was at 3-under 213, eight strokes back.

Woods is 37-2 when he has the outright lead going into the final round, and today will show whether he has regained his status as the most formidable closer in golf.

Woods, who was at 11-under 205, last won on the PGA Tour on Sept. 13, 2009, at the BMW Championship. That also was the last time he had the outright lead at a PGA Tour event after 54 holes.

He has never had a better chance to end the drought than now — in the lead and on a course where he has won a record six times.

Ernie Els rekindled his hopes of getting into the Masters with six birdies in a round of 67 that left him only three shots behind. Ian Poulter had a 68 and also was tied for third, while Charles Howell III (68) and Sony Open winner Johnson Wagner (69) were four behind.

On the 15th tee, Woods was in the middle of his swing when an 18-year-old passed out, and a woman screamed when she saw it. Woods couldn’t stop his swing, and his tee shot hooked so far left out of bounds that it was closer to a swimming pool in someone’s back yard than the white boundary stakes of the golf course.

Woods made double bogey, and McDowell caught him atop the leaderboard with his first birdie of the round on the 17th.

GOLF

Sluman, Couples share lead SAUCIER, MISS. — Jeff Sluman shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to climb into a tie for the second-round lead with Fred Couples in the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic. Sluman birdied five of his final seven holes in his bogey-free round to reach 11 under at Fallen Oak. Couples followed his course-record 63 in the opening round with a 70 in the second.

Tseng up by three at Kia CARLSBAD, CALIF. — Top-ranked Yani Tseng remained in position for her second straight LPGA Tour title and third in five events this year, shooting a bogey-free 3-under 69 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Kia Classic.

TIGER WOODS HITS A SHOT FROM THE first fairway during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla. Logano is the first Sprint Cup Series driver to win a Nationwide race this season. His 10th career Nationwide win also extended Joe Gibbs Racing’s streak of eight consecutive Nationwide victories in Fontana.

After starting from the pole, Logano reclaimed the lead after a restart with 12 laps to go. He held off a tight pack including Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who finished second, and third-place Brad Keselowski.

Elliott Sadler finished ninth. He still leads Stenhouse by 18 points atop the Nationwide standings.

U.S. falls to Canada, 2-0 NASHVILLE, TENN. — Doneil Henry and Lucas Cavallini each scored goals as Canada beat the United States, 2-0, Saturday night for its first win over the Americans since 1992 in the CONCACAF men’s Olympic qualifying tournament.

The Americans could have clinched a berth in the semifinals on March 31 in Kansas City, Kan. Those winners qualify for the London games.

Instead, they now must beat El Salvador, a 4-0 winner over Cuba earlier Saturday, on Monday night to advance.

The Americans came in 4-1-2 all-time against Canada in this tournament.

The Canadians played a scoreless tie against El Salvador to open the Group A tournament, and they stayed just as strong defensively against the Americans.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN CHELSEA GARDNER (15) GETS A REBOUND in front of Tennessee’s Shekinna Stricklenon. The Vols beat KU, 84-73, on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.

NOTEBOOK

Goodrich bright spot for KU again

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

DES MOINES, IOWA — Kansas University junior point guard Angel Goodrich, who led the women’s basketball team to a berth in the Sweet 16, scored 20-plus points for the fourth game in a row Saturday in the Jayhawks’ 84-73 loss to Tennessee at Wells Fargo Arena.

The captain’s 23-point effort in the season finale followed a 21-point game against Texas A&M in the

Big 12 tournament, 20 versus Nebraska in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and 27 (one off her career high) in a second-round victory over Delaware.

Goodrich scored 20 or more points seven times this season and reached double figures in each of KU’s final 15 games.

The 5-foot-4 Tahlequah, Okla., native said the whole team wanted to finish the season strong.

urday marked the second time Tennessee sent the Jayhawks packing. The Vols beat KU, 92-71, in a 1996 regional semifinal.

In 1998, it was Arkansas that blocked KU from advancing to a regional final.

The Razorbacks won that Sweet 16 meeting, 79-63.

On six separate occasions, an SEC team has knocked Kansas out of the tourney. KU’s other losses came against Georgia in 1987’s second round and Vanderbilt in both 1997 (second round) and 2000

(first round). KU has never reached the Elite Eight.

Tournament figures Kansas qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the 12th time in program history. The Jayhawks are 11-12 all-time in the tournament.

Bonnie Henrickson, who led KU to the NCAAs for the first time in her eight seasons as coach, has an all-time tournament record of 8-6. Henrickson is 2-1 in the Big Dance at KU. Her other wins and losses came at Virginia Tech.

the left corner, Tennessee associate head coach Holly Warlick turned her head and walked the other way in disgust, knowing Goodrich’s three would drop — which it did, giving KU a 31-22 lead at the 6:10 mark.

But everyone in the building knew Tennessee would make a run at some point.

The Vols began chipping away in the first half.

By intermission, the Kansas lead was 35-30. At that juncture, KU had shot 48 percent from the floor while holding the Vols to 12-for-33 shooting (36 percent).

But in the second half, Tennessee scored 13 of its 23 second-chance points, 10 of its 13 fast-break points and went 17-for33 (51 percent) from the floor.

With back-up guards Ariel Massengale and Meighan Simmons leading the charge, Tennessee finally started to resemble the powerhouse it has become under coach Pat Summitt, winner of 1,098 games and eight NCAA championships.

Less than four minutes into the second half, behind back-to-back threepointers from Massengale (12 points), the Vols tied the game at 42.

Simmons, meanwhile, did her best Goodrich impression, scoring 16 of her 22 points in the second half off 7-of-10 shooting.

Goodrich said the Vols’ backcourt was explosive.

“It’s hard to try to stop both of them,” Goodrich said of Simmons and Massengale, “and then trying to match up and trying to get back and

Once Massengale hit her second three, KU never led again. It took Tennessee nearly 10 minutes to stretch its margin to double figures, but as the Jayhawks responded, they also wore down.

Said Gardner: “I felt that we were kind of gassed when the game got tied.”

Added Goodrich: “There was a long stretch where it just kept going back and forth, back and forth, and you kind of get tired. We kind of got down a little bit, but we picked ourselves up.”

That has been the calling card for Kansas all season.

Losing sophomore guard Keena Mays to transfer was one thing, but having Davis miss the final 10 games of the year could have been devastating.

Once that happened, Henrickson said her team regrouped as best it could.

“We just went around

the circle and asked everybody to do a little bit more,” the coach said. “I know it seems crazy at that point to ask Angel Goodrich to do more, but we did. And she did.

And she gave us more, and Aishah gave us more, and they all gave us more.”

Sutherland closed her KU career with 19 points and eight boards in the season-ending loss. Every other Jayhawk who played in the Sweet 16 game — Goodrich, Gardner, Knight, Jackson, sophomore guard CeCe Harper and junior guard Monica Engelman — should be back next season. The same goes for Davis and freshmen Asia Boyd and Bunny Williams, who didn’t play Saturday.

The year they just went through, Henrickson hoped, would provide an important lesson.

“When life gets tough,” she said, “you’ve got to suck it up and keep working.”

KU beats OSU for milestone win

Baylor rocks KU in shutout

J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University softball coach Megan Smith collected her 200th career win as KU took down Oklahoma State, 3-2, Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Smith, the Jayhawks’ third-year head coach, deflected praise to her players, who won their first back-to-back Big 12 Conference games since 2009.

Kansas defeated OSU, 1-0, on Friday.

“It means a lot,” Smith said of her milestone.

“Conference wins have been hard to come by recently for us. So for this to Smith come in a conference win at home is big. I didn’t even know it. I had forgotten. It’s all about the girls, the players that come out and work hard

After starting pitcher Kristin Martinez gave up

a run in the first inning, Smith turned to Morgan Druhan, who pitched five innings while giving up

just two hits and one run for the win. Alicia Pille closed out the seventh inning for the save.

Oklahoma State pitcher Simone Freeman allowed just three hits in six complete innings, but sisters Maggie and Rosie Hull made those few KU hits count. The pair combined to drive in all three KU runs, which came in the third inning. Rosie started the inning with a sacrifice fly that drove in Chanin Naudin. Maggie followed it up with a two-run home run, which drove in Elsa Moyer.

Chelsea Garcia led the OSU offense, going 3-for4 with one RBI. Shelby Davis had the Cowgirls’ only other RBI. KU allowed five hits total to Oklahoma State batters.

The Jayhawks (22-5 overall, 2-3 Big 12) will try to sweep the Cowgirls (15-12, 0-2) in the series finale at noon today.

EDMOND, OKLA. — Cam Solko and Adam Rea combined for a no-hitter, and Lawrence High’s baseball team defeated Norman North, 9-1, on Saturday.

Solko (1-0) pitched the first four innings, striking out four and walking just one. Rea pitched the fifth.

The Lions broke a scoreless tie with six runs in the third inning.

“We had kind of a slow

start, and then we erupted for six runs in the third,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.

Matt Sutliffe started the Lions’ big inning with a single. C.J. Roush delivered the knockout punch with a three-run double.

Third baseman Shane Willoughby preserved the no-hitter in the fifth when he robbed Norman North of a hit by making a backhand stop of a ball hit down the line.

“Solko and Rea were

really great today, and Shane Willoughly made an unbelievable play at third base,” Stoll said.

In Friday’s late game, Garrett Cleavinger pitched a one-hitter as Lawrence defeated Edmond Memorial, 12-3, in five innings. Cleavinger struck out nine in the Lions’ season-opening victory.

I do take it pretty serious, probably more serious than I should. I just want to win.”

So does floor general Taylor, who actually is happy Robinson — whose next loss at KU figures to be his last, with the NBA Draft lottery calling his name — called him out Saturday.

“We were arguing a little bit. I caught myself thinking about the matchups that could happen if we make it there (Final Four). I caught myself thinking ahead a little bit,” Taylor said.

“He said, ‘Ty you’ve got to relax a little bit.’ We caught ourselves doing that a little bit before. My whole thing is our team is not the same team, our attitudes are different. Still, he had a very valid point.

You can’t look too far in the future.”

Robinson said he has been communicating a bit with the NBA’s Morris twins, Marcus and Markieff, who were part of last year’s Elite Eight loss to VCU and a second-round loss to Northern Iowa the year before that.

“That’s pretty much where I’m getting this from now,” Robinson said.

“They are talking to me, telling me the mistakes they made, how they overlooked everything. They want for me not to make that mistake. I’ve been watching the past two years how this team handled things, how we went about it. Now that it’s my

“Tyshawn wasn’t overlooking anybody. He just was saying how good it would be in the Final Four.

Don’t get that twisted. It’s impossible to overlook North Carolina anyway.”

Taylor, who reiterated Saturday he’d love for injured UNC point guard Kendall Marshall (broken bone, right wrist) to be able to play today, said he learned a lot from last year’s Elite Eight loss to VCU. “In that game we were all looking so much to get to the Final Four because I think we all felt like if we beat VCU, we’re going to win this thing,” Taylor said. “I think that’s where our whole focus was instead of just thinking, ‘We can beat VCU. These are guys who’ve beaten everybody the whole tournament.’ We understand that these guys were going to come and play and be ready to beat us.’ We were looking past them so much that we ended up losing. I think it’s a little bit different now because,

first, we’re probably the underdog in this game, and No. 2, it’s Carolina, you’re not going to look past Carolina. You can’t.

They’re great. Being in this situation is a little bit easier because we’re playing against a team that’s expected to beat us, so its easier not to look past like we did in the past.”

Big men Robinson and Jeff Withey today face big tests in twin towers Tyler Zeller and John Henson.

Zeller, a 7-foot, 250-pound senior, averages 16.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game; Henson, a 6-11 junior, averages 13.8 points and 10.1 boards.

“I’m actually watching tapes of the Kentucky game. I think that will help me for this game,” said Robinson, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds in KU’s 75-65 loss to the Wildcats on Nov. 15 in New York. The 6-10 Anthony Davis had 14 points and six boards that game.

“John Henson and Anthony Davis both affect the game on the defensive end by altering shots and blocking shots. I can look

and see what I did and didn’t do against Anthony Davis,” Robinson added.

Carolina’s leading scorer is 6-8 sophomore Harrison Barnes, who averages 17.2 points per game.

Reggie Bullock, a 6-7 sophomore, contributes 8.9 points and 5.0 boards.

He had 17 points (Zeller had 20 and Henson 14) in UNC’s 73-65 victory over Ohio on Friday in the Sweet 16.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to play against a terrific team and program that we obviously respect a tremendous amount, a coach that obviously has played a huge role in the history of Kansas basketball, and really looking forward to the challenge and having an opportunity to play for what every coach and every player dreams of in the beginning of the season, the opportunity to go to the Final Four,” Self said.

As far as preparing for UNC, with or without Marshall ...

“He’s a terrific guard,” Self said.

KU NOTEBOOK

Self praises predecessor Williams

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self publicly praised his predecessor, North Carolina’s Roy Williams, on Saturday at Edward Jones Dome.

“There’s some things that he’s done academically. Some things like that were so enforced, I think kind of a mind-set within the department, that we have been able to take it and run with it,” ninthyear KU coach Self said.

“We’re graduating all our guys. Our APR is (perfect) 1,000 the last six years. I mean, there’s a lot of good things going on, which I think means as much to having a program as winning games do. And when he was there, he built the program.” "

Bitterness revisited: Self was asked about the bitterness of some KU fans toward Williams’ leaving KU for his alma mater, UNC.

“I’ll be real honest with you. I think that anybody that basically said that they had so much dislike or whatever for coach Williams because he left, I think all he should ever take in is it was a backhanded compliment. If they didn’t care for him so much, why would they care if he left?

“The other thing ... (it) kind of upset me because that made me feel like they must really want him here a lot more than they want me here, which they did. It took a few years to try to balance that out. Inside the walls (of program), there was never any animosity, nothing like that. He and his staff did a remarkable job there. Won a lot of games and conducted themselves in a very favorable way. And the foundation was set even though I think the foundation was set also before Roy got there, too. I think winning a national championship (with Larry Brown in 1988) helps set it also, but he just

did a remarkable job, and we were the beneficiaries of taking over a healthy program.” "

Moving up: KU’s Thomas Robinson is in second place on KU’s single-season rebounding list (429 to Wilt Chamberlain’s 510).

“I am? Wow,” Robinson said, informed of that feat.

“It hasn’t hit me ... everything I did this year. I want to keep adding to it. I’m not ready for my career to be over with. (I want to) just keep playing,” added Robinson, who figures to declare for the NBA Draft at the conclusion of the season. "

Will shooting improve?: KU hit 37.5 percent of its shots (one of 14 threes) in Friday’s 60-57 Sweet 16 win over North Carolina State, 33.9 percent (six of 24 threes) in a 63-60 second-round win over Purdue and 46 percent (five of 16 threes) in a 65-50 firstround win over Detroit.

“It’s hard to get assists if you never make a shot. I

mean, we really pass it well,” Self said. KU had 13 assists, 14 turnovers vs. N.C. State; 10 assists, seven turnovers vs. Purdue; and 12 assists, 14 turnovers vs. Detroit.

“The last two games we played were Big 10 games when I was at Illinois. I’ve always thought at Kansas, my mind-set was the first one to 70 always wins. Always. Either road or home, if I’m at Kansas, if a team, if I’m the first one to 70, we should win. Now, (that) doesn’t mean we always do, but we should if you take enough pride defensively.

“Now it’s the first one to 60. Still, we were the second-leading scoring team I think in our league. I know we can score better than what we have. We just have got to find a way to manufacture some easy baskets so guys get confidence.

One thing I think, and those that have played know this, guys think that they get confidence by making hard shots. It’s unbelievable to me, you’re oh-fer, and then you want to take guarded

shots. Why don’t you make a layup and then all of a sudden you think you can’t be stopped, even though it’s an uncontested layup or get to the free-throw line or something?

“I don’t think our shot selection’s been that poor.

I just think we haven’t shot the ball well. But I get great pride in that, because to me, to me when you make shots, you should win. And when you don’t, you’ve got to kind of find a way to grit it out. And I take pride in gritting those games out.” "

This, that: KU assistant Joe Dooley is being listed as a possible candidate for the head-coaching position at Mississippi State. ... KU (2,068) and UNC (2,065) rank second and third in all-time victories. Kentucky (2,087) is all-time leader. ...

Self is 2-1 in games coached against Williams. Self was 1-1 versus KU as Illinois coach and is 1-0 versus UNC. ... KU has been to 13 Final Fours. ... KU is 6-1 all-

time in tourney games in St. Louis, including a 5-1 mark in Jones Dome. ... UNC leads the all-time series, 6-3, yet the series is tied 2-2 in the NCAAs. ... Self watched tape of the Jayhawks’ 2008 Final Four semifinal victory over North Carolina at brunch Saturday. He said some Jayhawks watched part of the tape, looking at tendencies. "

Williams ill: Williams had a severe dizzy spell in Friday’s Sweet 16 win over Ohio.

“I didn’t feel very well.

The blood rush getting up and down, and I’ve had a cold for three weeks. I’m a yeller, and trying to get information out to my guys, and I don’t think they can hear me. So I’m trying to yell louder,” he said. “And all of a sudden, I feel this pain in the temples and things start a little dizzy, and I go black for two or three seconds. And it happened more often last night than any game that I’ve ever coached.”

Dadgum it, Roy smarting over KU flak

NORTH CAROLINA COACH ROY WILLIAMS LAUGHS AS HIS PLAYERS TALK about video games during a news conference Saturday in St. Louis. Williams, a former Kansas University coach, and the Tar Heels will face the Jayhawks at 4:05 p.m. today for a trip to the Final Four.

UNC guard talk secondary

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

ST. LOUIS — Thursday, during the media session leading up to his team’s Sweet 16 match-up with Ohio, North Carolina coach Roy Williams could not go 20 seconds without fielding a question about the status of injured UNC point guard Kendall Marshall.

Saturday, as Williams and the top-seeded Tar Heels (32-5) cranked up preparation for today’s Elite Eight showdown with second-seeded Kansas (30-6), Williams went nearly 20 minutes without talking about Marshall’s fractured-but-healing right wrist.

Even on the biggest stage, where two members of college basketball royalty are scheduled to face off with a trip to the Final Four on the line, Williams’ past ties to Kansas University stole the show. Although the former KU head coach obliged by answering any and all questions pertaining to the school where he won 418 games in 15 seasons from 19882003, he admitted that facing Kansas was something he would rather avoid.

“I don’t think I will ever be comfortable,” Williams said. “I really don’t.”

It’s funny, but Williams’ discomfort in facing his former school is merely the second-most-important story line involving the comfort of someone wearing Carolina blue.

The first centers around Marshall, whose status for today’s 4:05 p.m. tipoff remains uncertain.

“Kendall, today, went through the dummy stuff,” Williams said Saturday.

“Today’s the first day he’s bounced a ball, first day he’s caught a ball, first day he’s shot a ball. We kept him out of all the live stuff.

Now we want to see if it

Somebody else wanted to know: “Do you think much about your legacy at Kansas?”

Responded Taylor: “I think it crosses my mind, time to time, because I’ve been one of those players who have been criticized a lot. Fans love me, they hate me. I think about it time to time, you know, being in a position where you come behind so many great players who people were embracing and showed so much love to. You want to be one of those guys.”

Another question thrown his way Saturday: “Tyshawn, I was looking

bothers him or if it pains him or if it swells up or if his toes curl or whatever happens next. And then tomorrow at shootaround, we’ll try to do the same thing. Then there’s two things that have to happen: one, he has to feel comfortable that he’s not hurting. And then, two, I have to decide, can he be effective in the game with his situation?”

Marshall certainly ap-

pears to be closer to a return. After not doing anything basketball-related since breaking the wrist a week ago, the 6-foot4, 195-pound sophomore talked about testing the injury for the first time in the UNC locker room.

“Obviously, there’s gonna be pain,” he said.

“There’s gonna be pain for the next month and a half.

It’s just a matter of if I’m able to contribute to my

team, if I can withstand the pain. Those are key things.”

Stilman White, a true freshman who started in Marshall’s place against Ohio, said going through Friday’s game made him more comfortable in his new and wildly unexpected role.

He also said he had not been told who would start today.

“To be honest, I have no clue,” White said. “Kendall looked good in practice, and it looks like he’s healing really fast. But I’m gonna come with the mind-set that I’m gonna start just in case he (Kendall) can’t go. I gotta be ready for that.”

Although Williams said Marshall was in better shape Saturday than he had been two days earlier, the general feeling inside the Carolina locker room was that the Tar Heels are not expecting the point guard to play.

“We’re not planning on him coming back,” UNC forward Tyler Zeller said.

If that’s the case, a lot of the focus in this one will shift to White, who finished with two points, six assists and no turnovers in the victory against Ohio.

“It’s definitely different now,” White said. “I definitely got my feet wet the last game.”

back through past tournaments today, and in a dome you’ve never hit a three-pointer. Is there anything to that?”

Taylor: “Honestly, I haven’t noticed that, so thank you for putting that in my head. I appreciate that. I don’t know what it is, man. I don’t know what it is. I’m going to keep shooting it confidently.

I feel like they’re good when they leave my hand, and so I’m going to keep shooting it.”

Today’s game is in the Edward Jones Dome, where he misfired on all six three-point attempts in Friday’s three-point victory against North Carolina State, but it appears the NCAA Tournament atmosphere, not the dome background, has been the issue throughout

his career. In 12 NCAA Tournament games, Taylor has made just three of 32 three-point shots, which makes him a 9-percent three-point shooter.

In the other 131 games, he has been a 41-percent long-distance shooter. It’s true he hasn’t made one in a dome in 12 attempts in three different domes, which makes him 3-for-20 (15 percent elsewhere).

Nobody can question his effort. He brings that every game. It’s evident he badly wants to win, sometimes too badly.

He hasn’t looked loose shooting three-pointers and is 0-for-12 in the three NCAA Tournament games this year. It’s not a new development.

If Taylor’s thinking about legacy and the 144th game of his career

defining that career and that other vague nonsense, his head’s in the wrong place.

“I think as far as my work on the court, I think I could possibly be one of those guys,” Taylor said when asked the legacy question. “(Today’s) game is a step in the right direction, but it’s not something I’m driving myself crazy thinking about because I think my teammates, the teams I played on, my coaching staff, I think they all understand what I’ve done to help us be an elite team the past four years. I’ve been a big part of all four of those teams.”

One game, regardless of his performance, can’t change that.

“I think they all understand that whether I

Williams feels ‘kinship’ with Self When Roy Williams replaced legendary head coach Larry Brown at Kansas University in 1988, he became the seventh head coach in school history, joining a list that included such greats as James Naismith, Phog Allen, Dick Harp and Ted Owens. Saturday, Williams talked about how he always felt a special bond between himself and the school’s eighth head coach, even though he and Bill Self don’t spend much time together.

“There’s no question that there’s a tremendous sense of kinship,” Williams said. “Bill’s a tremendous coach. And I’m not saying that lightly.

He’s a tremendous coach.

(He’s) a friend, but it’s more respect.”

Much of the reason Williams has such great admiration for Self goes well beyond the ninthyear KU coach’s tremendous record at Kansas.

“I understand what Bill is going through,” Williams said. “I know the stress and the pressures and the expectations and the feelings and the love and the passion. And it’s all of those, and some of those are good. The passion that they have is good, and maybe the expectations aren’t good.

So I do understand that part of it. But Bill’s a bigtime coach and has done a great, great job with Kansas’ program.”

ST. LOUIS — Shortly after Kansas University’s run to the 2008 national championship was complete, North Carolina coach Roy Williams took quite a beating from the folks in Chapel Hill, N.C., for wearing a Jayhawk sticker and supporting his former school during the national title game against Memphis.

Saturday, a little more than 24 hours before Williams and his top-seeded Tar Heels were set to tip off in a rematch of sorts against Bill Self’s Kansas Jayhawks, Williams talked about the scars from the harsh criticism.

“It was really difficult for me because I didn’t think it was fair,” Williams said. “All the junk was coming from the North Carolina side.

In 1993, I was coach at Kansas, and North Carolina beat us (in the Final Four), and I stayed there for the finals in New Orleans waving my North Carolina blue pom-pom, and I didn’t get any junk then. So I didn’t think I should have gotten any junk in 2008, when I was cheering for Kansas.”

Nearly four full seasons have passed since then, and both Williams and Kansas have gone on to add to the enormous pile of greatness that is a source of extreme pride within each program and both fan bases. Kansas has won 125 games and four Big 12 championships in a string of eight straight since then. UNC has won 115 games, including the 2009 national championship.

“It’s over with now,” Williams said. “And time, as they say, will heal a lot of things. I don’t think (facing KU) will ever feel good for me, regardless of the outcome. ... It was 15 years of my life that I felt like that I gave my heart and my body and my soul.

And the people were wonderful to me.”

are hard games. I understand why we don’t, if we don’t. But I certainly think that it would be a great, great series. Kentucky and North Carolina play. And I guess we’re the second-, third-winningest program of all time, and I think it would be unbelievably good if we could play.

Certainly neither place has a hard time selling out, but we could certainly raise the price of season tickets a couple bucks.”

Lucky to be alive Much of the talk in the early portion of UNC’s session with the media Saturday was about how fortunate the Tar Heels were to top Ohio in overtime in the Sweet 16.

Many described the game as a grinder, as UNC out-rebounded Ohio 6330 but also shot just 40 percent, turned it over 24 times and allowed the Bobcats to knock down 12 three-pointers to hang around.

“Yesterday, you said grind it out, and I appreciate that,” Williams said.

“But we were damn ugly.

That’s what we were.”

Few Tar Heels struggled as much as heralded sophomore Harrison Barnes, who scored 12 points on 3-of-16 shooting.

Five of Barnes’ 12 points came in OT, though, something the 6-foot-8 forward said helped him move on.

“I think it was a nice way to finish out the game,” he said. “Obviously, it gives you confidence that you can make shots in that building. But (today’s) a whole new game.

Kansas is an extremely good ball club. You have to bring your best in order to beat them. So kind of put that game aside and just change your focus again.”

KU-UNC every year?

With the history of the KU-UNC series dominating the early portion of Williams’ meeting with reporters Saturday, it was asked of both Williams and Self if the two schools ever would consider hosting a home-and-home series. The two coaches gave very different answers.

“No,” Williams said.

Added Self: “I think it would be a great game for us. I don’t know if Roy would agree with that. To me, it’s, you know, the hardest games to play are sometimes where the other team you’re playing has extra incentive for whatever reason. I think those

Defending Kansas Although the Tar Heels boast the biggest front line in the nation, they were not about to say that they expect to have an easy time matching up with KU forward Thomas Robinson and center Jeff Withey.

“Robinson and Withey are fantastic players,” said UNC senior Tyler Zeller, who scored 20 points and grabbed 22 rebounds during Carolina’s victory Friday. “We are going to have to have a very good game as a frontcourt, and our guards will have to step up, as well. Obviously, Robinson is a playerof-the-year candidate, and Withey had 10 blocks last night, which is an incredible feat. So it will be interesting to see how we match up. I think with our size hopefully we can give them a some problems, but I think it goes both ways.”

get the love of a Jacque Vaughn or Kirk Hinrich or not, I think the people who matter the most understand,” Taylor said.

That’s the mind-set Taylor needs to take into this game: The people he cares about most won’t change their opinion of him no matter how his shots fly today.

Taylor shot so poorly Friday, the pressure mounting with each miss, that it’s possible the tire took on so much pressure it blew up and now he can start over with a fresh one.

“It can’t get any worse,” Taylor said. “It can only go up from here.”

Taylor is averaging 8.7 points, 3.3 assists and 3.3 turnovers in the tourney.

“It’s hard not to get down when you’re getting good shots, wide-open, and they

don’t go down,” Taylor said. “Once you miss it, you can’t think about it. It’s over.

You’ve got to think next play. I’ve had games where I’ve scored three points in the first half and I’ve come in at halftime and said, ‘Yo, I suck right now,’ and then came out and scored 20 in the second half. It’s a long game. You can’t get down on yourself.”

So easy to say.

“I think for a second there (Friday) night, I did, but when it came down to crunch time and we needed to get stops and make big plays, I just forgot about it. It didn’t even cross my mind until I got in the locker room after the game. I was like, ‘Yo, I played pretty bad.’

It’s definitely hard, but you’ve just got to think next play.”

KENTUCKY CENTER ANTHONY DAVIS MAKES HIS WAY to a news conference on Saturday in Atlanta.

Kentucky is scheduled to play Baylor in the NCAA Tournament South Regional final today.

Today’s games at a glance

By Mike Huguenin Rivals.com

Midwest Regional

South Regional

No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 3 Baylor Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta TV: CBS Announcers: Jim Nantz play-by-play, Clark Kellogg analyst Time: 1:20 p.m. CDT The spread: Kentucky by 7.5 Records: Baylor 30-7, Kentucky 35-2 How they got here: Baylor beat No. 14 South Dakota State 68-60, beat No. 11 Colorado 80-63, beat No. 10 Xavier 75-70. Kentucky beat No. 16 Western Kentucky 81-66, beat No. 8 Iowa State 87-71, beat No. 4 Indiana 102-90 Tourney history: Kentucky is looking for its 15th Final Four appearance and its second in a row; UK also has been a regional runner-up 19 times. Baylor is looking for its third Final Four appearance but its first since 1950. The Bears also have been a regional runner-up twice, most recently in 2010.

Key stat: The rebound battle is going to be big.

Kentucky outrebounds foes by almost eight per game; Baylor has a plus-5.4 advantage.

The buzz: This is the first single-digit seed of the tournament for Baylor. On paper, these teams basically are evenly matched. UK has six players averaging in double figures and no one averaging more than 14.1 per game. Baylor has five guys in double figures, who no one averaging more than 13.6. Kentucky shoots 48.7 percent from the field and holds foes to 37.5 percent. Baylor shoots 47.0 percent and holds opponents to 41.5. Baylor shoots 38.5 percent from beyond the arc, Kentucky 37.7 percent. But what is it they say about stats? You can make them say anything you want. Intensity cannot be measured and that is where these teams differ greatly. UK brings it for 40 minutes a game. Baylor?

Sometimes the Bears don’t bring it all, especially their frontcourt players.

If Perry Jones III, Quincy Miller and Quincy Acy play to their potential, this will be a memorable game. If that trio messes around, as they seemingly usually do, UK will cruise into the Final Four by a double-digit margin. Baylor PG Pierre Jackson is quicker than UK counterpart Marquis Teague and could pose some problems. Jackson and backcourt mate Brady Heslip, both of whom shoot at least 42.0 percent from beyond the arc, could help Baylor’s cause by knocking down some early threepointers.

No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 2 Kansas Where: Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis TV: CBS Announcers: Marv Albert play-by-play, Steve Kerr analyst Time: 4:05 p.m.

The spread: Kansas by 2.5 Records: Kansas 30-6, North Carolina 32-5 How they got here: Kansas beat No. 15 Detroit 65-50, beat No. 10 Purdue 63-60, beat No. 11 NC State 60-57. North Carolina beat No. 16 Vermont 77-58, beat No. 8 Creighton 87-73, beat No. 13 Ohio 73-65 (OT) Tourney history: North Carolina is looking for its 19th Final Four appearance; the Tar Heels currently are tied with UCLA for the most.

Kansas is looking for its 14th.

UNC’s most recent Final Four appearance was in 2009, when it won the national title.

Kansas’ was in ‘08, when it won the championship.

Key stat: This is another game where you will want to watch the work on the boards. North Carolina leads the nation in rebounds at 45.3 per game, and the Heels outrebound their opponents by 10.9 per game.

Kansas averages 37.6 rebounds per game and has a plus-5.7 advantage. If UNC is without PG Kendall Marshall, any second-chance points the Heels can muster will be huge.

The buzz: This is the first single-digit seed of the tourney for Kansas. UNC struggled mightily without Marshall against Ohio, turning it over a season-high 24 times and looking lost offensively at times. Marshall’s availability for today likely won’t be determined until game time, and it’s hard to see UNC winning without him. Still, UNC has a big-time frontcourt, and Harrison Barnes (who played poorly against Ohio), John Henson and Tyler Zeller will pose matchup problems for Kansas. KU C Jeff Withey played well against North Carolina State, and if he plays well again, that would be a huge boost for the Jayhawks. UNC’s three-point shooting is oft-criticized, but the Heels’ 34.1 percent marksmanship from beyond the arc isn’t that much worse than Kansas’ 34.8 percent. KU’s offense has struggled in the tourney, but the defensive effort has been there for the most part. If the Jayhawks can get that type of effort against a Marshall-less UNC, KU will advance. If Marshall plays, look for KU to be aggressive and, yes, physical, against him. In that scenario, look for KU to entice Marshall to shoot, at least early on, in an effort to see what kind of offensive threat he poses. Regardless, each of UNC’s big three up front must be productive if the Heels are to win.

LOUISVILLE’S PEYTON SIVA CELEBRATES his team’s 72-68 victory over Florida in an NCAA Tournament West Regional final on Saturday in Phoenix.

Louisville, Ohio St. earn Final Four spots The Associated Press

No. 4 Louisville 72, No. 7 Florida 68 PHOENIX — Once upon a time, Billy Donovan took Rick Pitino on an improbable ride to the Final Four.

Twenty-five years later, Pitino is heading back after another unbelievable run — one capped with an amazing late-game rally that left his old protege wondering what the heck happened.

Freshman forward Chane Behanan made the go-ahead basket with 1:06 left Saturday, and Pitino’s fourth-seeded Louisville Cardinals outscored Florida by 15 points over the final 10 minutes for a victory in the West Regional final.

And all Pitino could think afterward was, “Hate to do that to ya, kid.”

“Tonight, it was very difficult because of the way the game ended, because they outplayed us for 32 minutes,” Pitino said. “And it really hurt inside. As much as I felt like celebrating, it really hurt because he did such a masterful job of coaching.”

Russ Smith, who finished with 19 points, followed Behanan’s bucket with a pair of free throws, and then Florida freshman Bradley Beal and teammate Kenny Boynton each missed chances to tie in the final seconds.

Louisville made one more free throw to seal the game and reach its ninth Final Four, the second under Pitino, despite playing the final 3:58 without point guard Peyton Siva, who fouled out.

Seventh-seeded Florida (26-11) went out in the regional final for the second straight year, with Donovan falling to 0-7 lifetime against the man who coached him on that Final Four team at Providence in 1987, hired him as an assistant at Kentucky a few years later and felt as proud as a papa when he watched Donovan win his two national titles in 2006 and 2007.

“I said this earlier, for myself, I don’t think any of us like losing,” Donovan said. “But if someone said to me, ‘You have to lose a game, who would it be to?’

I would say him.”

Louisville will take an eight-game winning streak on its trip New Orleans.

Awaiting is a possible matchup with Pitino’s old school, Kentucky, which will have to get by Baylor today to set up a grudge match to end them all.

“We think they’re excellent. We think they’re

great. I coached there. It’s great. Great tradition,” Pitino said. “But we want to be Louisville. We have a different mission. They have a different mission.

But we both want to get to a Final Four and win a championship.”

This game had a much more warm-and-fuzzy story line than that possible Bluegrass State matchup — a meeting between two men who say theirs is more of a father-son relationship than anything else.

But make no mistake.

This was no heartwarmer.

Donovan got under Pitino’s skin early in the second half during a timeout when he worked over the officials, who promptly called a foul against the Cardinals (30-9) when play resumed.

“He called that,” Pitino shouted to the ref. “Why don’t you just give him a whistle?”

Pitino couldn’t get a break for a while after that, and when Siva picked up his fourth foul, the coach stomped onto the court and got hit with a technical. Erving Walker made four straight free throws and the Gators led by 11, setting the stage for what could’ve been Donovan’s fourth trip to the Final Four.

But the team that went 8 for 11 from three-point range in the first half went cold — really cold — not hitting any of nine attempts from beyond the arc in the second.

The Gators missed six shots and committed one turnover over the last 2:30. They didn’t score after Boynton’s layup gave them a 68-66 lead with 2:39 left. They finished with 14 turnovers to six for Louisville — probably the difference in a game in which they still outshot Louisville 50 percent to 45.

“What happens is, you can’t lose confidence,” Pitino said. “I kept telling our guys we’re going to the Final Four. Win the Big East tournament, we’re going to the Final Four. And they did.”

No. 2 Ohio State 77, No. 1 Syracuse 70 BOSTON — Ohio State coach Thad Matta sized up his team in the middle of the season and had it figured for a first-weekend loss when the NCAA Tournament came around.

He’s never been so happy to be wrong.

Jared Sullinger recovered from first-half foul trouble to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds, helping Ohio State beat top-seeded Syracuse to advance to the Final Four. The second-seeded Buckeyes will play the winner of today’s Midwest Regional final between North Carolina and Kansas. Deshaun Thomas scored 14 with nine rebounds for Ohio State (31-7), which led by eight points with 59 seconds to play and held on after the Orange cut it to three. The Buckeyes made 13 of 14 free throws in the final 68 seconds and 31 of 42 from the line in all.

The Buckeyes are making their first trip to the Final Four since 2007, when they lost in the national championship game to Florida.

Brandon Triche scored 15 points and Baye Keita had 10 rebounds for Syracuse (34-3). The Orange were hoping for a return trip to New Orleans, where they won their only national championship in 2003.

In a tightly officiated game that left Sullinger on the bench in foul trouble for most of the first half and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim not-quite muzzled after picking up a technical foul, it came down to free throws. Syracuse was called for 29 fouls — its most in more than three years — despite playing its usual 2-3 zone.

The Orange went to the line 25 times, making 20 foul shots.

The frequent whistles left both teams struggling to get into a groove in the first half — there were only four baskets in the last 9:30.

Race for playoffs’ top seed heating up OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The race for the top overall seed in the NBA playoffs is about to hit high gear.

When the Oklahoma City Thunder entertain the Miami Heat today for the first of two meetings over the next 11 days, it’s the opening of what could be a critical stretch to determine who has homecourt edge when the NBA finals roll around a few months from now.

The Thunder and Heat are in a virtual tie for second place in the NBA standings, 21⁄2 games behind Chicago. The Bulls visit Oklahoma City next Sunday for the only meet-

ing between those teams this season.

The two East leaders also have two head-tohead games remaining, one in Chicago on April 12 and one in Miami exactly one week later.

“The rest of these games that we’re in are going to be tough. They’re playoff teams — very, very tough teams,” said James Harden, the Thunder’s No. 3 scorer and top reserve.

“We’re just going to have to go out there and do what we’ve been doing all season.”

Until recently, at least.

Oklahoma City was leading the pack when the calendar flipped over

to March but since then, it has been the Bulls who have pulled ahead despite the absence of reigning MVP Derrick Rose.

The Thunder went 5-5 over a 10-game stretch before winning back-toback games against the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota, needing double overtime to eke out a 149-140 win against the Timberwolves without Ricky Rubio, secondleading scorer Nikola Pekovic and Michael Beasley.

Between the two showdowns with the Heat, Oklahoma City also faces a trip to Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Lak-

ers and will host Memphis, the No. 4 team in the West.

“You always want to play good basketball against the best teams in the league and we have that opportunity ... to play playoff-type games in March,” coach Scott Brooks said. “We’re going to use that to our advantage.

“We know that this part of the schedule is going to be tough but we’ve played good basketball all year. We’ve just got to keep getting better. Being the No. 1 seed, we’re not focused on that. We’re focused on just keep getting better.”

TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Griner dunks Baylor to Elite Eight berth The Associated Press

No. 1 Baylor 83, No. 4 Georgia Tech 68 DES MOINES, IOWA — Baylor was cruising, the Lady Bears’ reserves were waiting to check in, and there seemed to be little excitement.

Then Brittney Griner got behind the Georgia Tech defense, and everyone in the arena knew what could be coming.

Baylor’s 6-foot-8 AllAmerican didn’t disappoint.

Griner threw down a two-handed dunk to cap a sensational performance, and the Lady Bears stormed into the NCAA regional finals for the third straight year with a victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Griner, who finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks, took a pass from Brooklyn Pope and soared in for her dunk with 6:29 left in yet another rout for the Lady Bears — swinging briefly on the rim for good measure.

“I wanted to get one in this game,” said Griner, who was almost nonchalant about her crowdpleasing play. “Brooklyn got me the ball, and I just went up and slammed it.”

It was the second straight game in which Griner dunked and the seventh slam of her college career. She’s now tied with former Tennessee star Candace Parker, whose two dunks in NCAA Tournament play had been the most.

“Even though she dunks in warm-ups all the time, in the game it’s just something that automatically just gets us fired up and really excited,” Baylor’s Odyssey Sims said. “I think we get more excited for her than she does for herself.”

Destiny Williams added 18 points on 9-for-10 shooting for the topseeded Lady Bears (37-0), who’ll play second-seeded Tennessee in the regional final Monday night, the winner advancing to the Final Four.

Baylor, the 2005 national champion, will be seeking its third Final Four appearance and second in three years. Tennessee, which has won eight titles, will try to get to the national semifinals for the 19th time.

Though her team was hopelessly behind at the time, Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph didn’t feel Griner was rubbing it in with her dunk. Heck, she thought it was cool.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Joseph said. “I think she’s great for the game. I think it’s awesome. Nobody wants to get dunked on, but how many people can actually say I coached in a game where a female basketball player dunked?”

Baylor took control with a 20-0 first-half run and never gave fourth-seeded Tech (26-9) a chance to answer. Sharp-shooting freshman Sydney Wallace led Georgia Tech with 32 points.

Griner dominated with her scoring (13-for-18 shooting), rebounding and intimidation on defense.

Then came the dunk, which put Baylor up 7746 — and even the neutral fans stood and roared their approval.

A few seconds later, during a timeout, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey took Griner and the other starters out, giving the crowd another chance to salute the game’s most dominating player.

Georgia Tech made the Round of 16 for the first time and came in with nine victories in the last 10 games. The Yellow Jackets showed they were serious about competing early

BAYLOR CENTER BRITTNEY GRINER DUNKS THE BALL during an NCAA women’s tournament regional semifinal against Georgia Tech on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. as Wallace, who scored 51 points in the first two rounds of the tournament, hit a three-pointer in front of the Baylor bench and dropped in a high floater over Griner that put Tech up 10-6 and forced a Baylor timeout.

Wallace had no problem showing some enthusiasm after burying her three.

If only she and her teammates had known what was ahead.

The Lady Bears charged out of the timeout and scored the next 20 points to take a 26-10 lead — and they did it with everyone contributing.

Griner hit three soft turnaround shots. Williams got inside for three buckets and made a leaner in the lane. Kimetria Hayden knocked down a jumper and a free throw, and Sims added three free throws. She finished with 11 points.

Mulkey said the key was beating Tech’s press, which resulted in easy shots for Griner and Williams.

“Brittney got 35 points because of (her teammates’) ability to handle the pressure and score at the end of the press,” Mulkey said.

Tech committed seven turnovers and missed six shots while going scoreless for 61⁄2 minutes during Baylor’s game-breaking surge.

The Yellow Jackets would never recover.

The only thing the Lady Bears had to worry about after that was when Mulkey would order them back to practice to start working on Tennessee.

And to make sure they stayed out of the way when Griner dunked.

Parole hearings cause victims to relive trauma Victim of brutal rape: ‘We deserve a break’

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A handful of people sit at small tables in a long, narrow room in the Landon State Office building in Topeka on Wednesday.

As people enter, a woman approaches and asks, “Are you here to support or oppose?”

Three people — two men and a woman — sit facing the visitors. One of them calls up “No. 3.”

It quickly becomes clear

that the three chairs set up in front won’t be enough. More are added, and in total, eight people sit in front of the state of Kansas’ Prison Review Board with one mission: keep Sherman L. Galloway behind bars forever.

Michael Riner, a retired Kansas University police officer who helped arrest Galloway, is one of the first to speak to the three-person board.

“There aren’t a lot of things I’m afraid of, but he’s one of them,” he tells the board.

For the next half-hour, the board hears from several people involved in Galloway’s 1981 Douglas County rape case.

Every month, the board hears the vivid details of cases like Galloway’s: sex crimes, brutal assaults or murders that happened decades ago.

“For the victim, that trauma is still there. They’re reliving it again,” said David Riggin, head of the board.

“It’s the hardest part of the job.”

Unforgettable attack Jean Rhea was a KU student, a tennis teaching professional and the women’s head tennis coach at Baker University in Baldwin City in 1981. She was working to become a collegiate women’s coach and professor.

On the hot, humid evening of July 8, 1981, Rhea set off for a two-mile jog along Memorial Drive on the KU campus. It was 10 p.m., and Rhea said she thought the street

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce are pressuring the state Senate to adopt a redistricting map that could produce a much more conservative Senate.

“For years, the left wing of the Republican Party has held power in the Senate,” stated an email from Ivan Crossland, chairman of the Kansas Chamber Political Action Committee, to senators.

“Those in control are grasping to hang to their power while it is seemingly LEGISLATURE slipping from their hands as voters become more attuned to their liberal voting record of overspending and overtaxing,” Crossland said.

Last week, Crossland and Brownback contacted legislators urging them to vote against a redistricting map called Ad Astra that was approved by the Senate redistricting committee.

After a bruising debate in the Senate, the process stalled, and senators will again tackle the issue this week. After each 10-year census, the Legislature redraws legislative, congressional and State Board of Education boundaries to accommodate population changes.

The Ad Astra map drew district lines in a way that placed declared challengers to moderate Republicans in other Senate districts, Crossland said.

LAWRENCE ENERGY CENTER PLANT MANAGER TROY MUSSETTER, left, and Paul Wallen, executive director of major construction projects at Westar Energy, tour the construction site of a new $325 million environmental retrofit. The current project will reduce emission of fine particles from two of the three coal-burning units. Pictured in the background is Unit 5 where Westar is installing a fabric filtration system and rebuilding the sulfur dioxide scrubber system.

Power plant upgrades will cut pollutants

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Westar Energy is in the middle of a $325 million construction project that will slash the thousands of tons of pollutants spewing from the Lawrence Energy Center every year.

The project, started in 2009, is designed to reduce the fine particle, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions coming from two of three power plants’ coalburning units. These pollutants have been linked to

respiratory illnesses, haze, smog and acid rain.

This spring, Westar entered into the heart of the work at Unit 5, which typical generates 64 percent of the plant’s 585 megawatts of electricity. It will be shut down for 60 days. Crews are working to complete the construction before Westar heads into the demanding summer season. More than 350 workers are on site daily.

More than four decades ago, the Lawrence Energy Center led the country in

state-of-the-art environment technology. In 1968, Unit 4 was the first generating unit in the country to be retrofitted with wet scrubbers, which remove sulfur dioxide. Three years later, Unit 5 was the first newly built coal-burning unit that installed a wet scrubber. In the late 1970s, the scrubbers on both units were replaced with the next generation of equipment, which are the ones that are being upgraded today.

Throughout the process, Westar is working with Black

& Veatch, the same company that designed the wet scrubbers installed on the units more than 40 years ago.

DEATHS CAROLYN ANN RISLEY HILL Risley Hill, Carolyn Ann, 62, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away March 20, 2012, surrounded by loved ones, following a short but valiant battle with cancer. The retired Starkey, Inc. CEO leaves a legacy of generosity, compassion and selflessness witnessed in her service to the needs of youth and adult clients in her local, state, and national communities. Motivated by her love of family and friends, Carolyn worked tirelessly to sustain close relationships with members of the Hull and Risley families and within her circle of friends. She was born May 3, 1949, in Great Bend, KS, to Albert and Hazel (Hull) Risley. The growing family moved to Boise City, OK, where they lived until the tragic death of Albert in a farming accident in 1955.

Carolyn, her mother, and three young brothers returned to Great Bend, where Carolyn attended Riley Grade School, Roosevelt Junior High, and Great Bend High School, graduating in 1967.

Throughout her Great Bend school years, she was an avid participant in Girl Scout Troop #250 where she learned many of her extraordinary life skills and formed lasting friendships. She continued her education at Hutchinson Junior Community College, Wichita State University and the University of Kansas, earning, respectively, AA in 1969, BA in Social Work in 1974 (graduating summa cum laude) and a Masters in Social Work in 1985. Carolyn and John Hill married in 1969. Her professional career began with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, where she developed her passion for youth and adult services. She served as Wichita Area Director

and then Commissioner of Youth and Adult Services in Topeka.

She consulted for Hill the Child Welfare League of America, across the U.S. and Canada, and then became CEO of Starkey, Inc., which serves people with intellectual disabilities.

Carolyn enjoyed traveling, visiting family and friends, reading, stitching, gardening, and cheering for the Jayhawks, especially the men’s basketball team. Her parents preceded her in death.

Carolyn is survived by former husband, John Hill of Aiken, SC; brothers, Allyn Risley and wife Jill, Houston, TX; Verlyn Risley and Debbie, Albert Risley and wife Elizabeth, all of Wichita; beloved nieces and nephews, Ryan Risley, Miranda (and Dan) Maupin, Jessica Risley (and Erik Reaves), Michael Risley, Erica Bogan, Natalie (and John) Morgan, Trevor Risley, Julia Risley, Emily Risley; four great-nephews and a great-niece. A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 31 at 11:00 a.m. at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 8021 W. 21st St. N., Wichita, KS. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial gift to Starkey, Inc., 4500 W.

would be safe because it was well-lighted and welltraveled.

“As I came around the Campanile and got up close to Snow Hall, I heard footsteps running hard behind me,” Rhea said. “As I turned to look, a hand grabbed the back of my head and a knife was put to my throat and a voice told me, ‘If you make a word I am going to kill you.’”

“And with a knife at my throat, he then drug me across Memorial Drive over to shrubs and bushes that were on the other side and up above Potter Lake. He raped me. He bit me. But more than anything, he threatened to kill me every minute when I was with him if I didn’t do exactly what he said.”

At one point, Rhea said, she made a decision to fight back because she feared he would kill her.

“I got up and started moving away very quickly because I knew he was in a position where he couldn’t run after me. But he did. He popped up and he ended up landing on top of me, and we rolled down the hill and we ended up in Potter Lake, and he told me, ‘I am going to kill you’ and I stopped the knife before it entered my chest. And I put my feet on his chest and pushed him off of me, which I don’t know how I ever did.

“And then I got up and I ran. He had his jeans around his ankles so he couldn’t chase me right off.”

Rhea, who was naked and bleeding, ran toward Memorial Drive where a passing driver stopped his car near the Campanile just in time. She jumped in the passenger side of the car as Galloway started running up the hill after her.

The driver, the late Paul Mott of Eudora, took Rhea to her home, and her roommates called KU police. She then went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and underwent testing with a rape kit.

On Dec. 4, 1981, Galloway was found guilty of aggravated sodomy and rape.

Another victim came forward after Rhea’s case.

Galloway had robbed, kidnapped, raped and sodomized her a month before Rhea’s attack.

Galloway was given another sentence of 30 years to life in prison on May 25, 1984. He is serving the sentences consecutively.

But because of sentencing laws, he became eligible for a parole hearing in 1996 and has been eligible at various intervals since.

Rhea, who now lives in California and works as a psychologist for a large nonprofit, rattles off the years Galloway has been

Chamber CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“We strongly urge you to vote ‘NO’ on the Ad Astra map and all other maps that draw out these announced opponents. It is a vote against Kansas voters,” Crossland said.

Brownback said one of his concerns was that the Ad Astra map didn’t respect communities of interest because it failed to make Leavenworth County self-contained in one Senate district.

Such a move would jeopardize two Democratic senators, Tom Holland of Baldwin City and Kelly Kultala of Kansas City, Kan., who each represent a portion of Leavenworth County. Holland was the Democratic nominee for governor who ran against Brownback in 2010, and Kultala was Holland’s lieutenant governor running mate.

THE KANSAS PRISON REVIEW BOARD # In a cost-saving measure, the Review Board replaced the Parole Board in 2011 following an executive order by Gov.

“It’s an assault on the Senate moderate majority and is open warfare on them in the session and next election,” Hensley said.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said the Kansas Chamber is no longer a business organization.

“They have just become an advocacy organization for the right wing of the Republican Party,” Davis said.

He said the chamber hasn’t endorsed a Democrat in years, and seldom endorses moderate Republicans.

“If a pro-business Democrat comes along, we would be happy to endorse them,” said Jeff Glendening, vice president of public affairs for the Chamber.

BRIEFLY Hundreds in Wichita protest teen’s killing WICHITA — About 500 people have demonstrated in Wichita over the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager by a neighborhood watch captain in Florida.

The Wichita Eagle reported that the hastily organized protest started Friday with about 250 people. The crowd grew as passers-by parked and joined the demonstration to call for repeal of a Kansas stand-your-ground law that’s based on the one in Florida.

The statute has been in the news since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot Feb. 26 in the Florida town of Sanford.

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood crime-watch captain, has claimed self-defense and has not been charged in the shooting. State and federal authorities are investigating.

State Rep. Melody McCrayMiller and Sen. Oletha FaustGoudeau were among the marchers. ! Attorneys in Trayvon Martin case present arguments, page 8D.

Amended suit alleges new abuses at school WICHITA — New allegations of abuses at a Kansas military boarding school have been raised in a revised lawsuit brought by parents of former cadets from across the nation.

An amended complaint filed Friday in federal court adds more plaintiffs to the case against St. John’s Military School in Salina.

The school has denied there is a culture of abuse or failure to supervise.

A California student who attended St. John’s for only four days suffered two broken legs.

An X-ray attached to the court documents shows the bone displaced several inches above the knee from the alleged abuse.

Another exhibit in the filing depicts a uniformed Texas cadet gagged, blindfolded and bound with black duct tape.

‘A great opportunity for our community’

Program aims to prevent dropouts ———

Kennedy to be 1st school in city to use services

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

“I am excited about seeing what else is out there,” Donner said.

“The owners have become more focused on even their own health during the past few years, and they’ve talked about the importance of it. There’s several of us within the company that have made a more focused effort to lose weight and get healthier.

The more we talk about it, the more we help support one another.”

For five years, Malissa Martin has overseen the state’s Communities in Schools programs from an office in Lawrence. But next fall will be the first time the organization will venture into a Lawrence school.

A national organization, SCHOOLS Communities in Schools is in 53 schools and serves thousands of students statewide. Its aim is to reduce the high school dropout rate, but many of its programs reach children long before then.

Thanks to a partnership with community nonprofits, Communities in Schools will launch its first program at Kennedy School in Lawrence next school year.

“I’m really excited about the (program) in Lawrence because I’m getting to do it at home, which is wonderful to me,” Martin said.

DONNA SANDERS WORKS THE DRIVE-THRU WINDOW THURSDAY AT MCDONALD’S, 1309 W. Sixth St. Sanders has worked there for 14 years, and participated in a company-supported summer wellness activity during the past three years. The Lawrence McDonald’s franchise is among Lawrence businesses that will participate in a new three-year, statewide initiative called WorkWell KS.

Lawrence selected to champion new workplace wellness initiative

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

McDonald’s employee Donna Sanders, 66, is looking forward to participating again in a summer activity program that’s offered through her workplace.

A fitness trainer leads the program, which typically consists of stretches, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, pushups and a walk or run. It’s offered twice a week in June and July at the Lawrence High School track.

“It’s fun to get together with my co-workers, and I might work out harder that way,” she said with a laugh. “I think we have a good time.”

The Lawrence McDonald’s franchise began offering the “Getting Healthy Under the Arches” program three years ago to the approximately 700 employees and their families at its 14 area restaurants. So far, only about

a dozen people regularly participate.

Janet Donner, the program’s coordinator and a restaurant manager, hopes to increase participation this summer and maybe even beef up the wellness program by learning from other businesses. It recently joined WorkWell Lawrence, a workplace wellness initiative, and soon will be participating in a new statewide program.

ANTI-ABORTION LEGISLATION

‘Wrongful birth’ provision disputed

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Could a bill that the Kansas Legislature is considering protect a doctor who lies to a pregnant woman about the condition of her unborn child in order to prevent that woman from having an abortion?

Jennifer Dalven, director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, and other abortion rights advocates, says that is exactly what the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act would do.

The provision they are concerned about bans civil actions for a claim of socalled “wrongful life” or “wrongful birth.” They say this would legally shield a doctor who discovers a prenatal problem and withholds that information from the pregnant woman.

Dalven wrote in her blog that until she read House Bill 2598, she thought she had seen it all when it comes to proposals to restrict abortion.

“But as a LEGISLATURE mother who has been through those ultrasounds myself, the thought that my doctor could choose to withhold this information from me and take this decision away from me and my husband … well, let’s just say that it really touched a nerve,” she wrote.

But Rep. Lance Kinzer, R-Olathe, who is the main sponsor of the bill, said Dalven is incorrect.

Kinzer said language in the bill is consistent with Kansas case law and was put in the legislation because “courts change and some states are reaching different conclusions.”

He said doctors who lie to patients would still be liable for medical malpractice and possible violations of standards set by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts.

He said the purpose of the provision is to limit monetary damages. Nine states have approved similar legislation, and Arizona is considering the measure, too.

Recently an Oregon couple was awarded $2.9 million. They had said they would have terminated their pregnancy if they had known their daughter would have Down syndrome. They were continually told the child would not. The parents said they sought the damages to be able to provide for their child’s care.

The “wrongful birth” issue is one of many that has caused controversy in the 68-page bill.

A major dispute deals with medical residents training as obstetrics-gynecologists at the Kansas University Medical Center. Anti-abortion legislators don’t want them being trained in abortion procedures, but KU says the training must be offered to maintain accreditation. The training is done in facilities in Colorado, KU has said.

During a recent debate in the Senate, Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, said the training was necessary for emergency situations during pregnancies.

“If you don’t have doctors trained in that, you put women’s lives at risk,” she said.

The bill also requires physicians to inform women seeking an abortion about the risk of breast cancer. A large body of research says there is no link between abortion and breast cancer.

Lawrence is one of 10 about sustainable change.”

Kansas communities selected to be a champion for workplace wellness.

It’s part of a new threeyear initiative called WorkWell KS that is being funded with a $700,000 grant from the Kansas Health Foundation and administered by the Wichita Business Coalition on Health Care.

In each community, at least seven businesses will complete an in-depth assessment to gauge where they are in terms of wellness. Then, they will send a leader to take part in a day-and-a-half-long training session. During the training, the businesses will receive feedback on the assessment and a strategy on how to strengthen their wellness program or develop one.

Other communities that were selected: Beloit, Clifton, Coffeyville, Great Bend, Independence, McPherson, Clearwater, Newton and Wellington.

Aubrey Naylor, coordinator of WorkWell KS, said Lawrence was selected because it already has WorkWell Lawrence, which is a group of about 20 businesses.

“Lawrence is already doing so many things, so we looked for people who wanted to continue bringing those leaders together and bringing people to the table. The goal is to bring about sustainable change,” Naylor said.

WorkWell Lawrence was launched about a year ago through $13,500 in grants from LiveWell Lawrence and K-State Research and Extension.

Carolyn Crawford, coordinator, said the group has monthly two-hour meetings that provide networking opportunities. It also hosts speakers who talk about topics such as gym memberships, nutrition, vending machines, exercise programs and adult day care programs.

In October, the group hosted its first symposium about workplace wellness.

Crawford said on-site wellness programs are not just beneficial for employ-

Before moving to Lawrence, Martin worked with the Communities in School program in Texas.

Martin continued working as a consultant for the national organization when she moved to Lawrence.

Then in 2007, she was named president of the Communities in Schools of Kansas and moved the headquarters to Lawrence.

The organization’s filtration into Lawrence goes beyond its headquarters.

Lawrence ranks among the top 10 school districts in the state in terms of the total number of students who drop out of high school. That’s largely due to the Lawrence school district being one of the larger districts in the state.

“If our goal is to reduce the number of dropouts, then we need to go to where the numbers are,” Martin said.

The program at Kennedy, which is expected to cost about $51,000 in the first year, will pull resources from the Douglas County Community Foundation, the United Way of Douglas County and Lawrence Boys and Girls Club.

The United Way has committed $20,000 to the first semester of the program at Kennedy and has plans to fund the program by $40,000 a year for the next three years.

The work that Communities in Schools fits well with long-term goals the United Way has established, president and CEO Erika Dvorske said.

“Part of the broader goal around children is: Are they — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild ready and prepared and can be reached at 785-423-0668. supported for school ev-

— Aubrey Naylor, coordinator of WorkWell KS, on why Lawrence was chosen for the initiative ees but for employers, too, because they lower absenteeism, increase productivity and boost morale.

They also can save on health insurance. According to the Wellness Council of America, for every dollar spent on wellness, companies save $3.48 on health care and $5.82 in regard to absenteeism.

“People spend more than 50 percent of their time at work, so that’s where they need to form the habits to have a healthy lifestyle,” she said.

“There’s more and more research out there about how changing your lifestyle at work will carry over to the home.”

Crawford continues to recruit Lawrence businesses to join the WorkWell Lawrence effort and is thrilled that the local McDonald’s franchise has jumped on board and has agreed to participate in WorkWell KS, too. Other Lawrence businesses that will be taking part in the state program: Allen Press, city of Lawrence, DCCCA, Douglas County court system, KU Endowment, KU faculty and staff, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, The Merc and The World Company, which owns the Lawrence Journal-World.

These businesses will go through an in-depth training May 3-4 at the local health department and then will be eligible to apply for a $1,000 grant.

Seven businesses in each community will receive one.

“This is a great opportunity for our community,” Crawford said.

minutes, she’s about 40 pounds overweight.

“The problem is I could match a truck driver in eating any day,” she said, laughing. “I need nutritional help.”

While some McDonald’s employees may have trouble turning down Quarter Pounders for salads or soft drinks for water, Sanders eats fairly healthy at work. She works the early shift, so that means breakfast. She said she typically selects oatmeal without sugar, apple slices, or an Egg McMuffin without butter, and then drinks iced tea, water or coffee.

“When I go home because it’s such a long stretch and I don’t eat, I dive into the food,” she said, adding that’s it’s not necessarily healthy. “I would eat an elephant if it was there.”

Besides getting nutritional advice, Sanders said having exercise equipment or classes on-site would be nice along with a health assessment. Then she started dreaming big: What about a trainer who offered classes on-site?

Maybe she could earn some bonus points for participating in wellness activities?

Crawford said these ideas actually are becoming commonplace in workplaces. She said Lawrence businesses are offering Community Agriculture Supported programs, gardens, health fairs, health assessments, educational programs and even walkin medical clinics.

“People are more likely to get something attended to or their medications checked when they can just do it at work,” she said. “We all know it’s so difficult to schedule time off work, especially if your doctor doesn’t schedule late clinics.”

ery day?” Dvorske said. “So often, readiness is shaped before they show up on the stoop of the school.”

Kennedy was picked as the launch site because it has some of the most atrisk children in the district. This school year 75 percent of its students received either free or reduced-price lunches, a service that is based on income.

The program helps to connect students and their parents with community resources. The program provides a site coordinator who is expected to manage a caseload of about 80 students.

“It’s really about having a person who can get in there and who knows the services that (our community) provides and getting the kids and family connected with them,” Martin said.

A need assessment will be done to see what kinds of services are already available in the community and what gaps need to be filled. Part of the site coordinator’s job will be figuring out which kids go hungry over the weekend, who needs academic support and whose parents need encouragement to stay active in their child’s education.

“We’ll meet the kid wherever they are,” Martin said.

While the program is working with students long before they reach the age of dropping out of high school, Martin said early intervention is key to success.

“If you’ve got a kid in third grade who is falling behind, they are never going to catch up,” she said.

“The early years have a big effect.”

“We’re still here. We’re still fighting. We still believe, as this race really shows,” Santorum told supporters in Green Bay, Wis. Although the victory gives Santorum bragging rights and at least nine more delegates, it does not change the overall dynamics of the race; the former Pennsylvania senator still dramatically lags behind Romney in the hunt for delegates to the GOP’s summertime nominating convention.

Even so, Santorum’s win underscores a pattern in the drawn-out race.

The underfunded underdog has tended to win in Bible Belt states that include Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Romney, a deeppocketed, highly organized former Massachusetts governor, has persistently

U.S.: Soldier split killing spree WASHINGTON — U.S. investigators believe the U.S. soldier accused of killing 17 Afghan civilians split the slaughter into two episodes, returning to his base after the first attack and later slipping away to kill again, two American officials said Saturday.

This scenario seems to support the U.S. government’s assertion, contested by some Afghans, that the killings were done by one person, since they would have been perpetrated over a longer period of time than assumed when Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was detained March 11 outside his base in southern Afghanistan.

reached, was aimed at protecting air quality in national parks and wilderness areas.

And the Lawrence Energy Center isn’t the only power plant in the area that needs to reduce its emissions based on that agreement. Large-scale projects are also under way at the Jeffrey Energy Center and the La Cygne power plant.

“You are not going to turn the lights on one day, and all of a sudden the air is a lot cleaner,” said Tom Gross, who is the chief of air monitoring and planing for the KDHE’s Bureau of Air. “But all across the country, improvements are being made on a gradual basis.”

Along with meeting the Regional Haze Agreement, Gross said, the upgrades could help the Kansas City region’s ozone levels. For the past three years, the region has narrowly met the EPA’s ozone standards.

“On days when winds are blowing out of the right direction, (regional power plants) are impacting Kansas City and Wichita,” Gross said. “If we reduce emissions, we will see improvements in air quality on those days in these cities.”

The upgrades will also help Westar reach compliance with the federal CrossState Air Pollution Rule, which calls for power plants to significantly reduce their sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Last fall, Westar and the state of Kansas sued in federal court saying the rule would require hundreds of millions of dollars in upgrades to comply by the law’s Jan. 1 deadline. In December, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed the implementation of the rule. The court plans to hear oral arguments on the case in April.

“We are still reviewing the ramifications,” said Paul Wallen, who is Westar’s executive director of construction projects.

Wallen noted that the $325 million worth of upgrades should mean that no significant additional work would be needed to comply with the new law.

soon be the world’s biggest baseball. Or at least Hanson believes so.

“Until someone proves different,” he says.

Hanson’s on an unusual and ambitious mission in Muscotah: revive the city by turning the water tank into a baseball museum honoring the town’s most famous resident, National Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Tinker. For most of his career, Tinker played shortstop for the Chicago Orphans/Cubs between 1902 and 1916 and won two World Series, including the Cubs’ last world championship in 1908.

He was part of the famous Tinker to Evers to Chance double play combination, immortalized in the 1910 poem by Franklin Pierce Adams of the New York Evening Mail.

Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance were voted into the Hall of Fame as a unit in 1946.

“We’re hoping this is the beginning of a new Muscotah,” Hanson says.

The project Muscotah residents, about a decade ago, learned Tinker, who died in 1948, was born in Muscotah in 1880. Once the information was out, “we more or less adopted him as our calling card,” Hanson says.

The chips for the project fell into place after Hanson heard someone remark that the town’s water tower looked like a baseball.

“I’d like to have that ball on the ground” in one piece, Hanson told the construction contractor. “Everybody said it couldn’t be done.”

Instead of dismantling the storage tank, workers managed to pull it down, denting the dome on one side. No problem, that’ll be the floor, Hanson says.

Donations for the project have been coming in, and they now have about $1,000 to complete Phase One, which entails painting the ball white with red laces. Phase Two calls for insulating the dome, adding a door and making the inside suitable for visitors.

During Phase Three, the final phase, Hanson says, they’ll add baseball memorabilia and Muscotah historical artifacts. Hanson’s planning for an unveiling during Muscotah’s annual Rose Festival in June.

Hanson says they’ve

been getting donations for the museum from across the state.

Some lifeblood Across town, Hanson says, the idea has been well-received.

“Most of them think it’s a fun project,” Hanson says. “There’s only one person who’s said, ‘It’s not worth it.’”

Hanson, a retired carpenter, is new to Muscotah, moving here five years ago with his wife, C.J., who grew up here.

They came back to the area to help care for elderly family members.

The couple describe themselves as “civicminded” and wanted to do something to revive the town that used to bustle with a cafe, several banks and a feed store, C.J. says, describing the town she grew up in during the 1950s and ’60s.

When they came back, everything was gone.

So C.J., with several other Muscotah residents, opened the Mercantile in a converted home near the town’s main road. The store offers a variety of goods, from cereal to holiday knickknacks. On Saturdays, C.J. bakes cinnamon rolls, and people gather in front of the store for conversation.

The Joe Tinker Museum could be the start of more such places, Hanson says, drawing tourists and money to the faded Kansas town. Hanson points to a vacant piece of property on the highway and talks about a future bank or grocery store or cafe.

“That’s the idea,” Hanson says. “Some lifeblood in this community.”

City commissioners will consider a request to install lights on eight tennis courts in the Centennial neighborhood near Lawrence High School.

BACKGROUND Neighbors near the tennis court site are concerned that the lights will shine onto their properties and become a nuisance. Engineers for the city have come up with a plan that they say would require taller light poles but would keep the amount of light spilling onto neighboring properties within

city guidelines. But the design likely would cost $80,000 to $100,000 more than what the city has budgeted. Neighbors are urging the city to look for other options, but several tennis enthusiasts have said the lighted courts are needed to maintain a growing interest in tennis leagues and tournaments.

Health care case raises contract issue

EDITORIALS

Ike honor Hopefully, any disputes about the design of the Eisenhower Memorial can be resolved quickly so work on this important monument can move forward.

T

he growing debate over the design of the planned Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C., is unfortunate. One of the nation’s — and perhaps the world’s — most outstanding architects, Frank Gehry, has presented a design that some members of the Eisenhower family find unacceptable because they don’t think it gives sufficient emphasis to Eisenhower’s roles as president and supreme Allied commander in World War II. Family members claim Gehry’s design focuses too much on Eisenhower’s humble beginnings and his boyhood in Kansas and not enough on his accomplishments in World War II and, later, as president.

Gehry says his design does celebrate Eisenhower’s accomplishments with heroic images and with quotes carved into stone. The famed architect said, “My detractors say that I have missed the point and that I am trying to diminish the stature of this great man. I assure you my only intent is to celebrate and honor this world hero and visionary leader.”

Gehry’s design calls for a memorial park framed by large metal tapestries depicting Eisenhower’s boyhood home in Abilene. Two large carved stone reliefs would depict Ike as president and as a military hero with a statue of Eisenhower as a boy appearing to marvel at what his life would become.

According to the Eisenhower Memorial Commission, the Gehry design for the four-acre site portrays Abilene in Eisenhower’s boyhood days, along with large, unique tapestries of woven stainless steel wire to “tell the story of Ike’s small town roots and juxtapose those with a physical representation of the magnitude of his accomplishments in war and peace, as a five-star general and as president of the United States.”

Various information pieces from the commission outline what would appear to be a striking, unique, park-like memorial in an ideal location attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.

It is puzzling that some members of the Eisenhower family are calling for major changes. Is there reason to wonder whether their prime concern or objection is that too much attention is given to Abilene, Eisenhower’s early days and the influence Kansas had on the future general and president?

Maybe they don’t share Ike’s passion for his Kansas heritage. Time and time again, news reports indicate that one of the first questions Eisenhower asked when speaking to troops during World War II was whether any of the soldiers were form Kansas. Likewise, returning to Abilene after Germany’s surrender in World War II, Eisenhower stated, “The proudest thing I can claim is that I am from Abilene.” And he chose Abilene as the site for his presidential library.

Eisenhower certainly wasn’t ashamed of coming from a small, midwestern community. In fact, he was proud of it. Perhaps Gehry has it right in stressing the Abilene influence while some of Eisenhower’s family wish to push Abilene and Kansas aside in favor of supposedly more prestigious, global associations.

Whatever the case, it is hoped the Gehry proposal will proceed without too many alterations. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission was created on Oct. 25, 1999, and it’s time to get the project started.

It will be a major addition for Washington, D.C., and all Kansans are sure to be proud of and pleased by the recognition of this exceptional individual who grew up in Abilene.

WASHINGTON — On Monday, the Supreme Court begins three days of oral arguments concerning possible — actually, probable and various — constitutional infirmities in Obamacare. The justices have received many amicus briefs, one of which merits special attention because of the elegant scholarship and logic with which it addresses an issue that has not been as central to the debate as it should be.

Hitherto, most attention has been given to whether Congress, under its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce, may coerce individuals into engaging in commerce by buying health insurance. Now the Institute for Justice, a libertarian public interest law firm, has focused on this fact: The individual mandate is incompatible with centuries of contract law. This is so because a compulsory contract is an oxymoron.

The brief, the primary authors of which are IJ’s Elizabeth Price Foley and Steve Simpson, says Obamacare is the first time Congress has used its power to regulate commerce to produce a law “from which there is no escape.” And “coercing commercial transactions” — compelling individuals to sign contracts with insurance companies — “is antithetical to the foundational principle of mutual assent that permeated

George Will

the common law of contracts at the time of the founding and continues to do so today.”

In 1799, South Carolina’s highest court held: “So cautiously does the law watch over all contracts, that it will not permit any to be binding but such as are made by persons perfectly free, and at full liberty to make or refuse such contracts. ... Contracts to be binding must not be made under any restraint or fear of their persons, otherwise they are void.” Throughout the life of this nation it has been understood that for a contract to be valid, the parties to it must mutually assent to its terms — without duress.

In addition to duress, contracts are voidable for reasons of fraud upon, or the mistake or incapacity of, a party to the contract. This underscores the centrality of the concept of meaningful consent in contract law. To be meaningful, consent must be informed and must not be coerced. Under Obamacare, the government will compel

individuals to enter into contractual relations with insurance companies under threat of penalty.

Also, the Supreme Court in Commerce Clause cases has repeatedly recognized, and Congress has never before ignored, the difference between the regulation and the coercion of commerce. And in its 10th Amendment cases the court has specifically forbidden government to compel contracts.

In 1992, the court held unconstitutional a law compelling states to “take title to” radioactive waste. The court said this would be indistinguishable from “a congressionally compelled subsidy from state governments” to those who produced the radioactive waste. Such commandeering of states is, the court held, incompatible with federalism.

IJ argues: The 10th Amendment forbids Congress from exercising its commerce power to compel states to enter into contractual relations by effectively forcing states to “buy” radioactive waste.

Hence “the power to regulate commerce does not include the power to compel a party to take title to goods or services against its will.” And if it is beyond Congress’ power to commandeer the states by compelling them to enter into contracts, it must likewise be beyond Congress’ power to commandeer individuals by

requiring them to purchase insurance. Again, the 10th Amendment declares that any powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states or to the people.

Furthermore, although the Constitution permits Congress to make laws “necessary and proper” for executing its enumerated powers, such as the power to regulate interstate commerce, it cannot, IJ argues, be proper to exercise that regulatory power in ways that eviscerate “the very essence of legally binding contracts.” Under Obamacare, Congress asserted the improper power to compel commercial contracts. It did so on the spurious ground that this power is necessary to solve a problem Congress created when, by forbidding insurance companies to deny coverage to individuals because of preexisting conditions, it produced the problem of “adverse selection” — people not buying insurance until they need medical care.

IJ correctly says that if the court were to ratify Congress’ disregard for settled contract law, Congress’ “power to compel contractual relations would have no logical stopping point.”

Which is why this case is the last exit ramp on the road to unlimited government.

But it is they who are wrong. There are two reasons. The short one is this: “Hispanic” is not a race, but an ethnicity. As the U.S. Census Bureau puts it in its 2010 Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin, “People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be any race.”

The long reason begins with an understanding that the word in question — race — is a term both meaningful and yet, profoundly meaningless. It is meaningful in the sense that it provides a tool for tribalism and a means by which to organize our biases, fears, observations, social challenges and sundry cultural products. It is meaningless in the sense that, well ... it has no meaning, that there exists no definition of “black” or “white” that carries any degree of scientific precision.

We are taught to believe the opposite, that “black” and “white” are self-evident and immutable. But I invite you to look up Walter White, the blond, blue-eyed “Negro” who once led the NAACP, or

Leonard Pitts Jr.

White, then, is not simply color, but privilege …”

Gregory Howard Williams, the university president who didn’t even know he was black until he was 10 years old. Dig up the old Jet magazine story about a woman who gave birth to twins — one “black,” one “white.” And then think again. Race is a fraud, a cruel and stupid fraud.

The people who came here from Europe did not automatically consider themselves “white.” They identified as Irish, Hungarian, Italian, Jewish, Armenian. As David R. Roediger observes in his book, “Working Toward Whiteness: How America’s Immigrants Became White,” they were emphatically taught that “white” was the identity that conferred status and privilege and that it was defined by distance from, and antipathy toward, black. They were advised to avoid being friendly with blacks or else put their whiteness at risk.

Nor did Africans kidnapped into slavery think of themselves as “black.” They were Mandinkan, Fulani, Mende, Songhay, Wolof. “Black” was something imposed upon them as justi-

fication for slavery and other means of exploitation. As one historian puts it: Africans did not become slaves because they were black. They became black because they were enslaved.

Well into the 20th century, America recognized dozens of “races.” In that America, people we now regard as white — the Irishman, Conan O’Brien; the Armenian, Andre Agassi; the Jew, Jerry Seinfeld — could not have taken for granted that they would be seen that way. People like this had to become white, had to earn whiteness, a feat African-Americans have found impossible to duplicate, no matter how many harsh chemicals they use on their hair and skin.

White, then, is not simply color, but privilege, not necessarily in the sense of wealth, but rather in the sense of having one’s personhood and individuality respected, a privilege so basic I doubt it registers with many whites as privilege at all. We’re talking about the privilege of being seen, of having your worth presumed, of receiving the benefit of the doubt and some human compassion, of being treated as if you matter.

Consider that, then consider the fair-skinned Hispanic man, George Zimmerman, who evidently stalked and killed an unarmed kid he wrongly thought was up to no good, yet was not arrested, nor even initially investigated. He said it was self-defense. Police took him at his word and sent him on his way.

Folks, that’s not just white.

It’s blinding.

— Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

To the editor: City commissioners and staff are contemplating a new plan to light the tennis courts in Centennial neighborhood.

Another lighting plan was discussed last fall but tabled when the city wisely realized light spillover would be unacceptable. The new plan costs nearly twice as much — in the ballpark of a quarter-million dollars — and would degrade the structural soundness of the facility, repairs and maintenance, for which the city would be responsible going forward in partnership with USD 497.

These courts were poorly planned (with no room for side-view bleachers, spectator seating is available at only one end of half the courts) and poorly built (a water retention system consisting of 48-inch pipes lies just beneath much of the court surface, which is already cracking). They were crammed onto sloping ground too close to residential properties in a neighborhood where they didn’t fit.

The plan to light them up would come at a huge, ongoing expense to the city. Tennis courts lighted until 10 p.m. on most nights of the year would add more light, noise and traffic to a neighborhood already struggling to adapt to the addition of numerous other athletic facilities. Surely we can find a more functional and affordable way to provide access to lighted tennis courts. Partnerships with other facilities or lighting the Free State courts, which are further from homes, are just two ideas. Our neighborhood, the city, and the tennis players of Lawrence deserve better.

Dan and Audrey Coleman, Lawrence

was going to write about different sensor sizes in digital cameras this week but I fell asleep at my computer due to subject boredom.

Another time maybe. Instead I want to mention a book I’ve been reading and relate it to recent photo coverage by the Journal-World staff.

The book is “River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West” by Rebecca Solnit.

Muybridge invented highspeed photography in the 1870s. One of his most famous series, “The Horse in Motion,” captured a sequence of

What does spring symbolize Artists in a religious context?

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Season, Easter about celebrating new life The Rev. Gary O’Flannagan, pastor, Cornerstone Southern Baptist Church, 802 W. 22nd St.: While many religions celebrate the coming of spring, what they are really celebrating is nature.

But the celebration of nature falls short when we experience the season of Easter on a personal level. Easter is celebrated during nature’s season of spring and like the season of spring, Easter is about new life.

Just as winter symbolizes death, spring symbolizes new life. Trees, plants, fields are beginning to turn green; across Kansas new life is emerging from the ground. The Christian faith is about new life all year round, but especially so during

Easter — something died but now lives again.

In Christianity it’s not something but SomeO’Flannagan one.

The New Testament says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “…if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (NIV).

Our new life, our new creation, springs from Jesus Christ. Just as plant life re-emerges from the earth during spring and can’t be held back, the earth could not hold Christ, He emerged and because Christ came up from the ground, our new life comes from knowing Him, belonging to Him,

worshipping Him, not nature or nature’s things.

Easter isn’t about candy or painted eggs or cute little bunny rabbits. Easter is about celebrating the miracle of new life that is possible because Jesus Christ rose up from the grave and He gives new life to every person who responds to Him. Jesus once said, John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (NIV).

This spring celebrate Jesus Christ in Easter, because He is risen, not dead. Nature will die again and again, but new life, eternal and abundant, springs from Jesus Christ; celebrate Him. — Send email to Gary O’Flannagan at gary2_1962@yahoo.com.

Look forward to what comes next The Rev. Kent Winters-Hazelton, pastor, First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway: This morning, as I was walking my dog in the crisp air of a fresh dawn, I saw children waiting for their school bus dressed in shorts and shirt sleeves and their parents heading for work similarly attired: spring has arrived. And with spring comes a welcomed sense of renewal.

Spring represents an awakening. Its many images and symbols speak of our rejuvenation, our coming out of winter’s hibernation with energy and enthusiasm for what comes next. The song of the birds in the park, the grass already in need of mowing, and the first shoots of color bursting

forth from the dormant winter soil in our gardens. One of the images of spring that stays with Wintersme every Hazelton year comes as we await the first pitch of opening day: everyone with a fresh record, every team an equal, and no errors to blemish the season’s outcome.

Life, with all its challenges, is seldom easy. In the face of those discouragements and difficulties, we need those things that lift up our spirits: families and friends, the greening of our neighborhoods, the quest for the Final Four (an allusion perhaps more territo-

rial), and the burst of new life that comes each spring.

Among the many strengths and attractions of every religious tradition is the language and invitation of hope, growth and new beginnings. This is true in the Christian tradition, which has as its central motif the Christ coming to life again from the grave. Even the name Easter is drawn from a spring festival that predates the Church called “eastre.”

As the writer Virgil Kraft once put it, “Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.” Or as my wife said as I was leaving for work, “I’ve got to get out to my garden.”

a critical moment of action or reaction.

But some of these photos can reveal interesting moments that the spectators’ eyes don’t detect. Muybridge’s high-speed revelations were probably in the back of my mind recently as I reviewed photographs from the KU men’s win over Purdue last Sunday.

Among several stillframe images and “shots in-between” were toward the end of the game, when I spotted two consecutive photographs demonstrating some undetected quickness of No. 15, Elijah Johnson.

With 1:06 left on the clock and KU down 57-60, a loose-ball rebound near Purdue’s basket is suspended chest-level, equal distance between Elijah Johnson, Conner Teahan and Purdue’s Sandi Mar-

cius. The ball may actually be closest to Marcius.

Nevertheless, on the next frame, with the game clock still showing 1:06, Johnson’s hand is on the ball securing the rebound. By 1:03, Johnson has passed the ball ahead to Tyshawn Taylor who dunks for a 59-60 score.

Later, Johnson’s speed helps him with a steal and a breakaway layup to provide KU with a 61-60 lead.

These photo revelations are not as groundbreaking as Muybridge’s studies, but during NCAA tournament time it’s nice to know that what goes undetected by the spectators’ eyes can be good news for Jayhawk fans.

is a necessity for photojournalists. With some cameras, it’s possible to capture five to 10 still images a second, ensuring that moments of significance are captured, especially in fast-paced sporting events.

While photographing the KU men and women competing in the NCAA basketball tournaments, photographers may fire off six frames a second, just to catch one image of a gamechanging steal, dunk or three-point shot. The other five images are edited out and rarely seen. They become the discarded “shots in-between” because they don’t necessarily document

‘Hunger Games’ cast wowed by story, star LOS ANGELES — Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks jumped at the chance to take supporting roles in “The Hunger Games,” a film about children who are forced to compete in a live televised death match in the not-toodistant future.

Why? They were moved

by Suzanne Collins’ book series and the script that the author helped cowrite for the movie, which opened in theaters Friday.

“We all agree the book is such a page turner and it’s just the storytelling,” Banks said in a recent interview.

“You know there are oppressive governments all over the world. We have this class warfare happening between the 1 percent and the 99 percent,” she said. “We’ve got rebellious

teenagers who are finally standing up for something. I think that everything that’s going on (in the film) resonates in today’s world and with today’s audiences.”

Harrelson plays Haymitch Abernathy, a mentor to “Hunger Games” contestants Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Haymitch is eccentric, crass and drinks too much, but knows how the games work.

Harrelson said his only issue with the film, and what he and director Gary Ross talked about a lot, was the degree to which Haymitch would be drunk “because I’m always one who likes to go over the top and luckily he pulled me back.”

The film’s seasoned performers are big supporters of star Jennifer Lawrence.

that, yes, this is great, this is by far better than advertised.”

But the scene of always something going on is just an added bonus for the upand-coming artists, Chen says.

Lawrence is one of the easiest places to live because “people are incredibly friendly,” Aspenberg says.

As young artists, they move around a lot, and both are hoping to find yet another residency after this one finishes. That can be tough, Chen says, but that’s just the downside of the opportunity to be a resident.

“The networking of it is great,” he says. “People engage like they’re going to be friends forever.”

While Chen works in the ceramics studio, Aspenberg is a printmaker, teaching classes in intaglio and woodcut relief. Her passion is printing on shattered glass, “exploring different materials to make them look like something they’re not,” she says.

It’s that kind of innovation, Tate says, that makes her a good artist and her and Chen assets as residents. Overall, the residency program gives a leg

BOOKS An ‘angel with a knife’ Novelist Jesmyn Ward discusses her National Book Award winner, ‘Salvage the Bones’

Their crystal-white pit bull, China, tenderly cared for by 16-year-old Skeetah, is ready to give birth to her first litter. In the novel “Salvage the Bones,” author Jesmyn Ward explores that day and the next 11 in the lives of this Southern black family of five.

Unknown to them, far out in the Gulf, a storm is slowly working itself into a deadly, devastating hurricane — to be named Katrina.

Ward’s frank prose is beautiful and harsh poetry. As a fellow Southern author put it, Ward writes like “an angel with a knife to your throat.” A native of DeLisle, Miss., and a Katrina survivor, Ward won the 2011 National Amanda Steinmetz, Book Award for “Salvage server, the Bones,” her second Lawrence novel. “‘Absurdistan’ by Gary Here are edited exShteyngart.

Did you set out to write a story that had a part for Hurricane Katrina?

I didn’t think I was going to write about Hurricane Katrina. I started with Esch. I’ve been thinking about her character since my first novel. I wanted to write about a girl growing up in a world of men.

I realized sometime in the first chapter that Katrina was going to occur at the end of the book.

So not only did I have to deal with the experience of surviving the hurricane, being out in the hurricane when it was going on, but with the residual terror in the knowledge that a storm like that can take away everything your family has within a matter of Jean McClure, hours. I had to contend elementary school with all that, and the relibrarian, building process.

not there anymore. And the trailer park there, it’s not there anymore. I had no hope during that time.

So I needed enough time to pass beyond Katrina to see that people would come back and they would rebuild.

Once I got to that point, I thought about writing something new.

Who is this family you created? Are these people you know?

I feel like the kind of people I write about are the kind of people I grew up with, the families that I know in my community.

Most everyone is working-class, and there are some intact families, but a lot of families aren’t. That was always a reality when I was growing up.

This situation, the lack of a mother at home, it’s happened now in both of my novels. When I think about my experiences of the people around me, that’s not the case most of the time. I’ve never really examined that choice.

Sun Sentinel

A gripping plot careens around myriad twists and turns, avoiding cliches but keeping the surprises coming. David Rosenfelt achieves that hat trick in his solid standalone novel “Heart of a Killer.”

Rosenfelt, best known for his Edgar-nominated series about dog-loving attorney Andy Carpenter, juggles several sub-genres with aplomb as he seamlessly spins what starts as an intriguing mystery and turns into a highconcept thriller.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Band gets into the string of things

By Mike Krings

Lawrence is no stranger to bluegrass that’s been sped up, punked out or generally molded with sensibilities that your grandparents and purists wouldn’t approve of.

Split Lip Rayfield and a host of other acts have made hay in Larryville, plucking away at guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and other traditional stringed instruments in a way that’s reverent to the traditional hill country music while incorporating all manner of other genres.

Not surprisingly Yonder Mountain String Band has slid comfortably into that zone of traditional and collaborative. The Nederland, Colo.-based four piece will play Thursday at Liberty Hall, and have toured relentlessly for more than a decade plying their own brand of genre-hopping string music. Jeff Austin, mandolin and vocals, and Dave Johnston, banjo, recently spoke with Lawrence.com about touring between records, finding heroes and collaborators all across the musical spectrum, putting out their own records and writing music both individually and democratically.

Mike Krings: You’re touring in support of “The Show” and have announced plans for a new album next year. Are you planning to play new material along with the old favorites on this tour?

Jeff Austin: Yeah, we’re not really touring “in support of ‘The Show;’” it came out three years ago.

We have some new material, we might start recording early next year.

But yeah, “The Show” is the closest record.

MK: You guys are known for blending traditional bluegrass with rock and a number of other genres. How do you go about melding two seemingly different styles into a live set without leaning too heavily on either?

Tobin Voggesser/Special to the Journal-World

YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND will perform Thursday at Liberty Hall.

YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND When: Thursday Where: Liberty Hall, 644 Mass.

Cost: $23 in advance, $25.50 day of show. Tickets available at Liberty Hall office or ticketmaster.com Dave Johnston: I think that a large part of the answer to that question is, we don’t filter out, we’re not really trying to replicate bluegrass, exactly, as you’d hear it on someone else’s record. We’re also not trying to replicate other kinds of covers the way they’re recorded.

We’re just trying to participate in the music with our sense and feeling, how we feel it should go.

In that way, we’re not going from a totally, straight up, (traditional) sound to something like Pink Floyd without it being too ADD or something.

MK: You’ve worked on a couple albums with producer Tom Rothrock and have had Elvis Costello sideman Pete Thomas play drums. Who would you say are some of your touch points on the other side of the spectrum?

DJ: We have tons of bluegrass and folk music heroes. People, who in some regards, even just do voices on cartoons. We have a whole list of he-

roes. Or people who have inspired us. For instance, one guy is Mark Rubin of the Bad Livers, the Bad Livers in general. They’re kind of in the Americana category or folk, bluegrass. They’re very much their own thing. Other people in that kind of category who did their own thing in bluegrass-based music would be Sally Van Meter, who did two of our records, we worked with her extensively. And Darol Anger on fiddle. It’s always a pleasure to play with him.

JA: I would agree pretty much verbatim with what Dave just said. Somebody I’d mention is Darol especially. We’ve been working with him for almost 14 years now. They way we interact with him is very much like the way we interact with each other.

MK: Speaking of honorary members of the band, so to speak, and other musicians, how are you approaching this tour?

Will it just be the four of you, or are you bringing a drummer or others along for the stage show?

JA: We’ve got a really cool band called Brown Bird. If you haven’t heard of ‘em you should check ‘em out. They’re a duo that does some pretty cool, moving, powerful stuff, and I think our fans are gonna dig them.

They were just at South

by Southwest and had a really good reception. It should be pretty cool to see them. They’re going to be opening for us, but I

could imagine there would be some cross-pollination there. We love meeting new musicians and love playing music with other people and mixing it up a little. It’s fun for us; it’s fun for our fans too.

MK: You’ve released records on your own label (Frog Pad Records). What kind of challenges have you encountered getting your music to fans without the resources of a major label?

DJ: I think that the way Yonder Mountain does it is a pretty effective way of doing it. Because we end up keeping control of our publishing, and while it’s true that we’re not going to post huge numbers as far as album sales go, we also enjoy a greater sense of freedom with making the kind of records we want to make. And we sell enough records to keep our record company profitable and to work at any level we want to work at, really. And a good part of it is that I just feel like there’s a cool sort of sincerity in doing it in the way we do it. I mean before there was Amazon and before there was mass globalization and crazy shipping and all that kind of stuff happening, there was just something cool about taking your music from town to town, and that’s what we’ve been doing.

MK: Not only do all your members play and sing, but you’ve all written songs for the albums as well. What’s the creative dynamic like? Do you work out songs together or each write your own and then you pick democratically which will make the records and live sets?

DJ: It’s a little bit of all of those things.

JA: Yeah, that’s true.

There’s, for example, a song I may had written months ago. I know how I want it to sound in my head, I think I know how it’s going to sound and why, but maybe it’s finally ready by the end of a tour. Other tunes, we play ‘em one or two times and they’re ready to go.

Mnozil Brass keeps things fun on stage “

By Alex Parker

aparker@ljworld.com

Combining humor with classically trained skill, the seven players that make up Mnozil Brass didn’t set out to be a globe-crossing band.

But after playing together for a few years at Josef Mnozil’s Tavern in Vienna — across the street from the Vienna School of Music where the members studied — they began to play weddings, christenings, even funerals, says tuba player Wilfried Brandstötter.

Their fame grew, and with it their ability to captivate audiences worldwide with their fun brand of silliness and skill.

“When we played in the pub, we found out very soon that only playing would not be enough, so we tried to entertain people,” says Brandstötter, who will join his bandmates 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center. “We sang from the very beginning, and we realized you have to give something to the audience.”

That includes a stirring rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a boozy, swaying take on something called “Hungarian Schnapsodie,” and a hilarious bit where they play recorders with their noses. The septet sings, dances and acts out scenes with the help of a director. Oh, and those high-flying horns.

Brandstötter, speaking to the Journal-World from Vienna, says Mnozil Brass thrives on adapting all kinds of music, from marches to rock to traditional Austrian pub songs.

“When we start working on a new show, everyone (in the group) can bring in the music he wants to play. The music we like, we play,” he says. That in-

The kind of show we are doing, we are not talking onstage. It is always very interesting to us how the audiences receives us.”

— Wilfried Brandstötter, tuba player in Mnozil Brass

cludes a Stevie WonderBee Gees-Blues Brothers medley, and a comedic take on “William Tell Overture.” Just don’t expect them to speak onstage.

Mnozil Brass will bring what Brandstötter calls a “pub medley” to Lawrence, one stop on a brief U.S. tour that also brings them to Baton Rogue, La., Lake Charles, La., and Indiana, Pa. He says the group’s show crosses language barriers.

“The kind of show we are doing, we are not talking onstage. It is always very interesting to us how the audiences receives us,” he says. “The thing is very global, what we are doing. People like it everywhere.”

As for what the audience can expect Saturday?

“Whether they are dedicated to brass music or they just like shows, it makes no difference,” he says. “I’m pretty sure they’ll enjoy it and forget about everything else for two hours.

“That’s a promise.”

Tickets are on sale through the Lied Center box office, and cost $24 for adults and $10 for children and Kansas University students.

SUCCESS IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN requires attention to many details, including testing and conditioning your soil and following a schedule for planting.

It’s time to get the garden growing

W

hether this is your first year of gardening or 50th, success with growing vegetables is most dependent on good site preparation and planting the right things at the right time.

Spring is a great time to start.

Site Vegetables need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day, so plan your garden for a site that meets that requirement. Vegetables can be grown in containers on a patio or deck if the rest of the yard is too shady.

Soil is the next most important thing after sunlight.

Soil is a source of air, water and nutrients for plants and provides support to them. Because good soil is hard to find, you may need to do a little soil improvement prior to planting — and trust me — a little work goes a long way when it comes to soil.

Adding compost or organic matter is the best way to improve garden soil. Any kind

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

of compost will do — just be careful with stable manures.

Stable manures should always be fully composted before being added to the vegetable garden to reduce the risk of microbial contamination that could lead to foodborne illness. Also, some pesticides can be carried through manure when animals feed in pastures treated with those pesticides. At least one of those is widely used for brush control and inhibits plant growth if it makes it to your

garden. Also, horses’ digestive systems do not process weed seeds, so horse manure can sometimes add to the number of weeds in a garden.

Never add sand to garden soil to improve drainage — it typically only worsens the problem.

If there is time, you should also have your soil’s pH and nutrient levels analyzed. I admit that I listened to this piece of advice for years before following it. When I finally tested the soil from my vegetable garden, I learned I had a high soil pH that was creating a less favorable environment for plant growth. I added sulfur to lower the pH and have seen a noticeable difference in plant growth.

The only drawback of soil testing is that it takes two to three weeks for the lab to analyze the sample and me to write recommendations for you. If you can wait at least a few weeks to start planting, bring the sample in as soon as possible. If you have already

planted your garden, keep soil testing in mind for summer or winter when we are receiving fewer samples.

Soil samples can be submitted for testing from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at K-State Research and Extension-Douglas County, 2110 Harper St. Testing is free when grant funds are available through the Douglas County Conservation District. When grant funds are exhausted, soil testing is $8 per sample.

Planting Once the soil is ready to go, you can start planting.

Some vegetables prefer the cooler days of spring, while some simply will not grow until things heat up a little. If planting now, start with coolseason vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, radishes, peas, potatoes and onions.

As much as you are itching for fresh tomatoes, wait until late April or early May to plant them. Tomato plants need the warmer soil that we

will not experience until later this spring.

Once all chance of frost has passed (April 15 is the average date of last frost in this area), you can plant warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn, squash, melons and beans. Again, these plants are dependent on soil temperature for good growth, so there is no reason to get in a big hurry to plant. Sometimes I plant a second crop of tomatoes in June, and I have planted sweet potatoes in early July.

For recommended vegetable varieties and a calendar of what-to-plant-when, stop by the extension office, or visit K-State’s online Horticulture Information Center at www. ksre.ksu.edu, then click on “Horticulture Info Center.”

Kovel’s Antiques: Even animals can harness celebrity value

By Terry Kovel

History becomes more interesting if you learn about it through objects and stories.

It’s the “rest of the story” that adds to the fun.

A large pail that once held Dan Patch Roasted Coffee auctioned recently for $2,035. The bright-red can features a horse and rider in a harness race. The can is colorful, 11.5 inches tall and very decorative, but the price was boosted by the history it represents.

Dan Patch was a brown horse, a pacer, born in Indiana in 1896. He broke the world’s record for a harness race in 1906, and it took 32 years for another horse to go faster. He never lost a race.

He was a celebrity, and coffee wasn’t the only product named for him. Cars, washing machines and cigars bore his name, and so did popular toys. Crowds followed his appearances and as many as 100,000 people went to see the horse, which, according to reports, “radiated charisma.” Dan Patch received fan mail and gifts while making as much as $1 million in a year.

DAN PATCH, A FAMOUS PACER, is pictured on this coffee tin. The horse was a celebrity in the early 1900s.

Today his fame lives on in collectibles and, of course, in harness-racing record books.

William Morford auctions, in Cazenovia, N.Y., sold this 11-inch tin for $2,035.

He retired from racing in 1909 and died in 1916. He remained a star for many years after his death, partly because his world record was not broken until 1938.

Streets named Dan Patch still exist. Dan Patch Stadium is at a high school in Savage, Minn., where the

horse lived after he was purchased by a Minnesotan in 1902.

An annual Dan Patch Day festival is celebrated in his hometown of Oxford, Ind., and another annual Dan Patch Day is held in Savage.

Books have been written about him, a movie was made about his life in 1949 and he’s mentioned in a song from the 1957 Broadway musical, “The Music Man.” But Dan Patch Ground Coffee was named for the horse well before the days of movies and television. You can still find Dan Patch memorabilia in Savage, Minn., today. Go to the Savage Depot Coffee Shop, the Razors Edge Barber Shop or the local library.

I inherited two antique Mettlach steins that were appraised six years ago for $1,700 each. I have been trying to sell them online and locally for less than that, but I have gotten no takers. Some dealers have made insulting remarks about my pricing.

What’s going on?

Some Mettlach steins

in mint condition can sell for $1,700 or even more, but many sell for a lot less.

Price depends on the rarity of a particular stein. In addition, you’re dealing with a niche market and may not be reaching interested buyers. Try contacting a national auction house that focuses on steins. You will find several online.

My grandmother, who was born in 1886, left her favorite rocking chair to me. She lived in Chippewa Falls, Wis., and the chair is labeled “Webster Mfg. Co., Superior, Wis.” The chair is oak and has a pressed design in the back’s crest above six turned spindles. What can you tell me?

Webster Manufacturing Co. of Superior, Wis., was making chairs by the 1890s. In its early years, it was called the Webster Chair Co. By 1915 it was a major American chair manufacturer and had opened a factory in at least one other city. It appears to have gone out of business during the Depression. Pressed oak chairs like yours were es-

pecially popular in the late 19th century, so it is likely your chair dates from that period. Depending on its condition, it would sell for $100 or more.

strates one of Isaac Newton’s laws of motion: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” When you pull the first ball back and release it so that it swings and hits the row of balls, the energy is transferred through the line of balls to the ball on the other end, causing it to swing out at approximately the same distance and back to hit the stationary balls. If you pull two balls out, two balls will swing out from the opposite end. It’s not a perpetual motion machine, because some momentum and energy are lost with each hit due to friction.

The length of time it will keep going is based partly on how well it’s built.

Toys like this were made under several names and in different sizes. They always have an odd number of balls, usually five or seven. Someone has even made Newton’s Cradle using 15-pound bowling balls hung from 20-foot cables.

I have an item called a “motion teaser.” It includes five heavy silver balls about an inch in diameter. Each is attached to a string and the strings are attached to a wooden frame. You swing one ball so it touches the next one and then they all swing back and forth. However, it stops in about a minute.

Aren’t they supposed to keep swinging back and forth by themselves? Every once in a while, I see one of these in an old movie and the balls keep swinging back and forth indefinitely. Am I doing something wrong? I don’t see what the big deal is if you have to start it every other minute. Someone gave me this. I think this it’s from the 1970s or ’80s.

Your toy was invented Tip: An unglazed rim on in 1967 by Simon Prebble, an English actor, and the bottom of a plate usuis known as “Newton’s ally indicates it was made Cradle” because it demon- before 1850.

Better to leave than live with fighting parents Dear Annie: I graduated from college last year. I have a modest paying job in my hometown and can afford rent. But since I am trying to save money for graduate school, I moved back in with my parents. My folks agreed. They are quite frugal and would be disappointed if I chose to spend the extra money on rent.

I have a solid relationship with my parents and actually enjoy spending time with them. The problem is, they have had a rocky marriage for as long as I can remember. They both struggle with alcoholism, and I suspect Dad (and maybe Mom) has gone through periods of depression. The house is far from town, and they run their businesses from home, so they rarely leave the premises. As a result, they fight constantly.

‘Mad Men’ finally back!

After a prolonged hiatus, “Mad Men” (8 p.m., AMC) returns with a two-hour episode that sets out to answer some questions we’ve been asking for too long; chief among them: Just how will everybody adjust to Don’s (Jon Hamm) impetuous proposal to his secretary, Megan (Jessica Pare)?

Megan’s vitality immediately changes the chemistry of the show and the social hierarchy at the ad agency of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. She drags the show and its characters further into the youth-quake pop culture of the late 1960s, especially affecting the dynamics of the show’s strong supporting female characters. Peggy (Elisabeth Moss), always the series’ proto-feminist striver, seems more embittered in the episode’s early goings. Joan (Christina Hendricks), originally seen as a throwback to the 1950s, just may be the biggest “career gal” of all. Don’s ex-wife, Betty (January Jones), does not appear in the season premiere, but Don does refer to her and her older husband, Henry, as “Morticia and Lurch” when dropping the kids off after Memorial Day weekend. And no conversation about “Mad Men” and its female leads would be complete without mentioning Don and Betty’s daughter, Sally (Kiernan Shipka), one of the more complex and troubled adolescent characters ever to appear on television.

As always, “Mad Men” is a feast for the eyes and the mind, a combination of well-drawn characters, cracking dialogue, gorgeous cinematography and pitchperfect production values.

Health care ruling could shake fall elections MONICA HAYMOND of Pasadena, Calif., left, and Tom Brennan of Rochester, N.Y., stand Saturday in front of the Supreme Court in Washington.

The two were hoping to get tickets to watch the opening arguments on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul starting Monday.

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is likely to shake the presidential election race in early summer. But the winners in the court will not necessarily be the winners in the political arena.

No doubt, a decision to throw out the entire law would be a defeat for Obama. His judgment and leadership, even his reputation as a former constitutional law professor, would be called into question for pushing through a contentious and partisan health insurance overhaul only to see it declared unconstitutional by the court.

But it would not spell certain doom for his reelection. In fact, it would end the GOP argument that a Republican president must be elected to guarantee repeal of the law. It also could re-energize liberals, shift the spotlight onto insurance companies and reignite a debate about how to best provide health care.

Upholding the law If the court upholds the law, Obama would be vindicated legally. Republican constitutional criticisms would be undercut because five of the nine justices were nominated

by Republican presidents.

But opposition would intensify in the political world. Without legal recourse, Republicans would gain new energy to argue that the only path

to kill the law would be to elect a Republican president and enough GOP candidates to control the House and Senate. They might be wary of promising overnight repeal because a filibuster-proof Senate majority seems beyond their reach in the November election.

Central to the dispute over the law is a provision that requires individuals to have health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty.

Polls show that this mandate is opposed by 3 of 5 Americans. Among Republicans, calls for its repeal are a surefire applause line.

Syrian forces’ shelling continues BEIRUT — Syrian troops shelled rebellious areas in central and northern Syria on Saturday in the latest push to quash the uprising against President Bashar Assad but faced fierce resistance from army defectors, activists said.

Much of the day’s fighting focused on the northeastern town of Saraqeb, which activists said regime troops

and tanks entered from the north amid heavy shelling.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighting reached the central market district where army defectors damaged a tank and three armored personnel carriers. Late Saturday, it said 2 rebel fighters and 9 government troops had been killed in the clashes.

Government troops also shelled parts of the central city of Homs and the nearby town of al-Qusair.

Sandusky called ‘likely Attorneys in teen’s death make arguments pedophile’ in 1998 STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — A psychologist who looked into a 1998 allegation against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky told police at the time that his behavior fit the profile of a likely pedophile, NBC News reported Saturday.

Yet Sandusky was not criminally charged or placed on a state registry of suspected child abusers, and prosecutors say he continued assaulting boys for more than a decade until his arrest in November.

NBC obtained a copy of the campus police department’s investigatory report on an encounter in which Sandusky was accused of having inappropriate contact with an 11-year-old boy with whom he had showered naked on the Penn State campus.

The police file includes the report of State College psychologist Alycia Chambers, who interviewed and provided counseling to the boy.

“My consultants agree that the incidents meet all of our definitions, based on experience and education, of a likely pedophile’s pattern of building trust and gradual introduction of physical touch, within a context of a ‘loving,’ ‘special’ relationship,” Chambers wrote.

However, a second psychologist, John Seasock, concluded that Sandusky had neither assaulted the boy nor fit the profile of a

pedophile.

Chambers and Seasock did not immediately return phone messages Sandusky left at their offices Saturday.

Centre County prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge Sandusky, and the case was closed until a statewide grand jury accused the retired defensive coordinator of abusing the boy and nine others over a 15-year period. Sandusky, who faces more than 50 counts of child sex abuse, has pleaded innocent and awaits trial.

Chambers’ warning to authorities raises new questions about the university’s failure to stop Sandusky. Eight of the 10 boys were attacked on campus, prosecutors allege.

In 2002, four years after the 1998 investigation, prosecutors say thengraduate assistant Mike McQueary caught Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the football showers. McQueary reported what he saw to coach Joe Paterno, who, in turn, reported the allegation to university officials. But no police investigation was ever done.

Penn State said in a statement Saturday that it would not comment, citing ongoing investigations.

MIAMI — Attorneys for the family of Trayvon Martin and the Florida neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot the unarmed teen offered different perspectives Saturday on the federal investigation of the death.

Daryl D. Parks, an attorney for the Martin family, told board members of the National Association of Black Journalists that family members met with federal and local officials for more than an hour Thursday. He said the family left the meeting “with a strong sense that Justice was very committed” to investigating the case.

“I think that it was rather clear that the attorney general is quite aware of the situation,” Parks said, referring to Eric Holder.

“They have devoted a great deal of resources into looking into this matter.

“For us to have had all the people who were there

Many people in attendance brought candy, ice tea, and wore hooded sweatshirts, or hoodies, in support of the unarmed young black teen, who was fatally shot by a volunteer neighborhood watchman. with us and the magnitude of the conversation, this is a very high priority for this administration,” he said in a wide-ranging interview.

But, Parks added, “it was clear from Justice’s statements that charges of a hate crime are going to

be a challenge.”

Meanwhile, an attorney representing the neighborhood watch captain, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, said Saturday that he believes the state’s stand-your-ground law applies to the case.

Attorney Craig Sonner said his client has been unfairly portrayed as a racist.

The Feb. 26 incident in the gated community has ignited racial tensions — Martin was black, and Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic — and raised questions about the police’s handling of the case.

President Barack Obama weighed in Friday, calling the shooting a tragedy and saying, “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”

Rallies were held Saturday in major cities such as Washington and Chicago to protest the local police investigation.

Parks said Saturday that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has told the family’s legal team that they are aware of Zimmerman’s whereabouts. It is not clear whether they are offering protection to Zimmerman, who has been in hiding and has received death threats in recent weeks.

8 killed, including 6 children, in W.Va. house fire CHARLESTON, W.VA. (AP) — Eight people, including a woman celebrating her 26th birthday and six young children at a family slumber party, died Saturday when fire tore through a two-story home while they slept, officials and witnesses said.

A seventh child was on life support after the blaze, the deadliest in West Virginia’s capital city in more

than 60 years, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said.

The dead children ranged from 18 months to 8.

The cause was under investigation. The fire appeared to have started on the first floor of the home, Charleston Assistant Fire Chief Bob Sharp said.

Jones said the home had one working smoke detector on the bottom floor, but it was on a counter and

wasn’t properly mounted to a ceiling. Another was found in a basement area but didn’t work.

A children’s picnic table, chairs and an umbrella were overturned in the yard of the home, sitting on a corner in a neighborhood tightly packed with small houses. The outside of the front of the home was blackened by the flames

and smoke. Two upstairs windows were shattered and blackened, and what appeared to be an opening for an upstairs air conditioner was stuffed shut with clothes.

Sharp said two of those killed were adults and all of the children who died were younger than 8. Ten people were inside the house at the time of the fire — about 3:30 a.m.
