KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON TAKES IN THE ROAR OF THE CROWD as he leaves the floor following the Jayhawks’ 64-62 victory over Ohio State on Saturday in New Orleans. KU will face Kentucky for the national championship on Monday.

Believe it: KU makes title game

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Kansas University’s basketball team — the one with no McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster — will play in the national championship game Monday night.

“I can’t believe this,” ninth-year KU coach Bill Self said of his thoughts following a one-for-the-ages, 64-62 come-from-behind victory over Ohio State in Saturday’s Final Four semifinal at the Superdome.

“Of all the teams to make it this far ... ” This somewhat-flawed KU team (32-6) erased a 13-point first-half deficit and nine-point halftime deficit and defeated a Buckeye team (31-8) for the second time this season.

“This has aged me a lot,” Self said with a smile, “but I’ve also never had more fun coaching a group of kids.

How cool is it that the two winningest programs of all time play Monday for the national championship?”

Kansas, Taylor topsy-turvy NEW ORLEANS — You know how it is in basketball. A team falls behind, and the pressure mounts. The hole gets too deep, and it’s over. And everybody knows that in a close game the less time that remains, the more pressure a free-throw shooter feels.

That’s in this universe.

The Kansas University basketball team must come from some opposite world, where up is down, long is short, and Tyshawn Taylor is a player who leaves his supporters wanting to hug him then slug him then hug

K-State names Weber as coach The Associated Press

MANHATTAN — Bruce Weber knows that Kansas State fans may not accept him right away.

That much became clear when a small rally for another coaching candidate turned into a protest of his hiring.

The former Illinois coach doesn’t have a problem with that, though.

Weber is up for any challenge that’s presented to him.

The former Illinois coach was hired by Kansas State on Saturday to replace Frank Martin, whose departure for South Carolina earlier in the week sent shockwaves through the program. The school moved quickly on the hiring, reaching out to Weber in the last few days and finalizing a deal late Friday.

Weber agreed to a five-year, $8.5 million contract that will pay him $1.5 million next season and an additional $100,000 each remaining year. There are also several benefits. “It’s been a whirlwind, to be honest. Just a few hours ago I was in New Orleans thinking I was going to have gumbo,� said Weber, who was attending the Final Four before hopping on a plane with Kansas State athletic director John Currie and heading to Kansas on Saturday. “We wanted a coach who recognized the tremendous opportunity that exists here at Kansas State,� Currie said. “Bruce Weber’s name repeatedly rose to the top of the list, whose personal values and integrity matched those of K-State.�

Arizona rocks Royals SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Danny Duffy knows he needs to be much more effective in his next start.

Duffy was hit hard during the Kansas City Royals’ 10-3 loss to a split-squad of Arizona Diamondbacks that was missing all of their regulars. The left-hander allowed six runs, five earned, and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. “I take a lot of pride in what I do, just as much pride right now as in the regular season,�

Duffy said. “A lot of people are very results based. I’m looking at where I’m locating and where I’m missing. I missed a few times today, as we all do. This is not an excuse. It is what it is. I’m ready to go.�

When Duffy starts April 11 at Oakland, everything will be results oriented. “Absolutely, because it’s not spring training anymore,� said Duffy, who also walked one, hit a batter and uncorked a wild pitch in his final spring start. “You just can’t get out of bed and start throwing hammers.

This is where we work on it.

I left a couple of balls up and missed my spots. I’m not trying to twist that anyway as being an excuse. I just stunk.�

Weber was greeted at Bramlage Coliseum by a small group of fans who had been planning to support another candidate, and who were displeased with the hiring of a coach recently fired by Illinois.

Weber was let go after compiling 210101 record over nine seasons, which included six trips to the NCAA Tournament and a Weber national runner-up finish in 2005. The Illini went 17-15 and 6-12 in the Big Ten this season, prompting the administration to let Weber go with three years left on his contract. “I’ll be honest: We had a young team, six freshmen, one returning starter,� Weber said. “The disappointment of a lot of close losses took a toll. It happens.�

Weber takes over for Martin, who returned a once-proud program to national prominence after Bob Huggins’ departure for West Virginia five years ago.

Weber will be the fourth coach to lead Kansas State in the past eight seasons — and the third to cause some consternation among fans.

Huggins was hired still carrying baggage from his messy divorce with Cincinnati, while Martin was a nondescript assistant who had never been a college head coach.

Weber certainly has experience running a program. It’s just

that not all of it has been good.

He was considered one of the rising stars of the profession after taking Southern Illinois to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, one of which ended in the regional semifinals. He then took over a program at Illinois that had been built into a perennial contender under Bill Self — now the coach at Kansas, just down the Interstate from Manhattan, and the Wildcats’ biggest rival.

The Jayhawks played Ohio State in the Final Four on Saturday, just hours after officials at Kansas State were to announce Weber’s hiring.

Weber had immediate success at Illinois with players largely recruited by Self, returning to the NCAA Tournament his first four seasons. That included a 37-2 record during the 2004-05 season, which ended with a 75-70 loss to North Carolina in the national championship game.

The program began to slip soon after, though, and fans who had grown accustomed to winning began to sour. The Illini had a losing record by Weber’s fifth season in charge, and despite winning 20 or more games the next three seasons, the program had faded from the national spotlight.

Weber never seemed entirely comfortable following Self at Illinois, and now he’ll be matching wits with the Jayhawks’ coach at least twice a year.

In fact, Weber had grown so tired of the comparisons to the uber-successful Self that he

Oklahoma State claims WNIT championship STILLWATER, OKLA. — As Tiffany Bias climbed a ladder to cut down the net after Oklahoma State’s WNIT championship, coach Jim Littell instructed her to take it all down except one last string.

At the end of a season marked by the deaths of head coach Kurt Budke and three others in a November plane crash, he wanted someone special to share in the triumph.

Budke’s widow, Shelley, climbed up to do the last snip. “I have never been more proud of a group of young ladies than I have this group,� said Littell, Budke’s former top assistant who took over after the crash. “They set the goal in November to pay honor, and I promise you they paid honor today and in this tournament.�

Toni Young scored 25 points, Bias had 17 points and 11 assists, and Oklahoma State beat James Madison, 75-68, on Saturday to win the program’s first WNIT championship.

Liz Donohoe had her fifth straight doubledouble with 14 points and 11 rebounds, and the Cowgirls (22-12) made it through the tournament without trailing in the second half despite a late charge by the Dukes.

Oklahoma State lost Budke and assistant Miranda Serna in a Nov. 17 plane crash that also killed pilot Olin Branstetter and his wife, Paula. “I think they’re always on our mind, always in the back of our head, just always being there,�

Bias said. “I think they were really watching us today. It showed out there on the floor. I think they were both on our minds the whole time.�

Knicks’ Lin to miss six weeks NEW YORK — The New York Knicks say Jeremy Lin is having left knee surgery and will miss six weeks, likely ending his amazing breakthrough season. The team said Saturday the point guard had an MRI exam this week that revealed a small, chronic meniscus tear.

The Knicks will continue to turn to Baron Davis in place of Lin, the undrafted Harvard alum who became the starter in February and turned in a series of brilliant performances, kicking off a phenomenon that was called Linsanity.

Lin is averaging 14.1 points and 6.1 assists. He went from the end of the bench to the biggest story in sports in about two weeks.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL DENVER — Whether emphatically blocking shots or throwing down dunks on the other the end of the floor, Brittney Griner has been the most dominant player in women’s basketball this season.

The 6-foot-8 junior phenom has led Baylor to a perfect record and the Lady Bears stand two wins away from becoming the first team in NCAA history to win 40 games in a season. Now she is The Associated Press player of the year.

Her coach, Kim Mulkey, completed a Baylor sweep of the awards, being selected coach of the year.

walked into the locker room before a game in 2003 dressed entirely in black. The quirky coach told the Illini that he was “going to throw a funeral. It’s the end of Bill Self.�

The idea was to somehow get across the message that the program had moved on. That’s exactly what Kansas State fans are being forced to do.

Martin’s intense style and own quirks endeared him to many Kansas State fans. Of course, the winning helped — at least 20 wins each of the past five seasons, four of them ending in NCAA Tournament berths, with a trip to the regional finals with Jacob Pullen in 2010.

The school’s career scoring leader, Pullen, grew up in Chicago and now plays overseas.

He offered his assessment of the hiring via Twitter, even misspelling Weber’s name: “Bruce Webber didn’t think I was good enough to play at Illinois and I don’t think he is good enough to coach at Kansas State.�

Others have praised the hiring of Weber, whose strong recruiting ties to Chicago will no doubt come in handy at a school that’s forced to recruit nationally. Weber is also energetic and personable, two traits that will help as he attempts to quell a fan base wary of more change. “Give me a chance,� Weber said. “It doesn’t matter where you go or which coach you hired, there was always going to be a question mark. There’s no doubt about that. That’s part of college sports.�

NCAA: KENTUCKY-LOUISVILLE

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Pitino: I’ll root for UK NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisville coach Rick Pitino is taking a stance that will probably make some Cardinals fans cringe: He’s backing Kentucky in the NCAA championship game.

Shortly after fourthseeded Louisville lost 6961 to the top-seeded Wildcats in the Final Four on Saturday night, Pitino said he hopes c o a c h John Calipari and the Wildcats “bring it home for Pitino the state.”

“I just said, ‘John, I’ll be pulling for you, bring the trophy back home to Kentucky,’” Pitino said. “Louisville will be rooting for Ken-

tucky, which doesn’t happen very often.”

Pitino said he’s well aware of the animosity fans of both teams have for one another and even made reference to a story about elderly dialysis patients who got into a fist fight over the rivalry back in Georgetown, Ky. “Sometimes there’s a lot of talk about these guys fighting, dialysis, there’s also really a lot of people that get along,” said Pitino, who also coached at Kentucky in the 1990s and led the Wildcats to a national title in 1996. “In every society there are people without brains. But for those that have brains, they get along, they root for each other.”

The two teams have combined for nine national titles, seven by Kentucky.

KENTUCKY FORWARD ANTHONY DAVIS (23) REACTS after defeating Louisville, 69-61, in a Final Four game on Saturday in New Orleans.,

Davis, Kentucky outlast stubborn rival Louisville NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Bragging rights in the Bluegrass State are mighty nice.

Kentucky has its sights set higher.

Much higher.

Anthony Davis and topseeded Kentucky are right where they planned to be all along, playing for the national title after finally putting away pesky Louisville 69-61 in the Final Four on Saturday night.

“I have a team that’s had teams come at them all year,” coach John Calipari said, “and they responded again today.”

It will be Kentucky’s first appearance in the title game since winning a seventh NCAA crown back in 1998 and it gives Calipari another shot at the championship that has eluded him. The Wildcats (37-2) will face No. 2 seed Kansas, a 64-62 winner over Ohio State in the second semifinal.

As the final seconds ticked down, Davis pointed to the court and screamed twice, “This is my stage!”

Yes, yes, it is.

With a star-studded roster that includes at least three, maybe as many as five NBA lottery picks, Kentucky was the top seed in the tournament and the heavy favorite to cut down the nets when the whole tournament was done. And Calipari wouldn’t let his young players consider anything else, saying repeatedly this was “just another game.”

But playing in-state rival Louisville (30-10) is never just that, and the Cardinals made Kentucky work deep into the second half to grind this victory out.

Louisville outrebounded Kentucky 40-33, including a whopping 19-6 advantage on the offensive glass — the sole reason the Cardinals were able to make a game of this.

BOX SCORE LOUISVILLE (30-10) Kuric 3-8 0-1 7, Behanan 4-9 2-2 10, Dieng 3-10 1-1 7, Siva 4-11 2-2 11, C. Smith 3-11 1-2 8, R. Smith 4-15 1-2 9, Swopshire 0-0 0-0 0, Justice 0-0 0-0 0, Blackshear 3-5 2-3 9. Totals 24-69 9-13 61.

Assists-Louisville 7 (Siva 3), Kentucky 9 (Teague 5). Total Fouls-Louisville 16, Kentucky 14. A-NA.

“To tell you the truth, I haven’t always liked some of the Kentucky teams.

I’m not going to lie to you,” said Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who counts as something of an expert after spending eight years in Lexington and the last 11 with the Cardinals. “But I really like this team a lot because of their attitude and the way they play.

“I’ll certainly be rooting for them hard to bring the trophy back to Kentucky. ... They’re a great group of guys, doing a tremendous job.”

So tremendous it led to a thawing, however briefly, in the frosty relationship between Calipari and Pitino. When the two shook hands after the game, Pitino congratulated Calipari and told him he’d be rooting for the Wildcats on Monday night.

Calipari had taken another phenom-laden roster to the Final Four last year, only to see them come unglued against eventual national champion Connecticut. The Wildcats said all week they weren’t going to let the same thing happen this time, and it showed in their workmanlike effort. No matter how close Louisville got, the Cardinals were never able to control the game. When they made a run, Ken-

tucky found a way to stop it. When one of the Wildcats ran into foul trouble, the others picked him up.

Kentucky played so hard Davis went flying off the court twice, sailing all the way onto media row once.

“They made runs, and we made our runs. That’s what coach always says,” said Terrence Jones, who finished with six points and seven rebounds. “We never get rattled.”

Bigger, bulkier and with Davis having a wider wingspan than some small airplanes, the Wildcats looked like playground bullies as they pushed Louisville around on their way to a 13-point lead early in the second half.

But the Cardinals know a thing about rallies after coming from 11 points down to beat Florida in last weekend’s West Regional final, and they sure made Kentucky sweat.

Russ Smith made backto-back buckets to start a 15-3 run, and Peyton Siva capped it with a three from NBA range that tied the game at 49 with 9:11 to play. But Michael KiddGilchrist, who played just 23 minutes because of foul trouble, made back-to-back buckets to give the Wildcats some breathing room.

After Siva made a pair of free throws, Jones scored on a jumper and Darius Miller drilled a three — only Kentucky’s second of the game — to give the Wildcats control for good.

“They were the better team today,” Siva said.

Just to make sure Louisville didn’t get any wild notions about another late comeback, Kidd-Gilchrist threw down a monstrous dunk with 1:05 to play that had Kentucky fans on their feet and assistant coaches from Kansas and Ohio State scrambling to try and find a way to stop this juggernaut.

Kentucky shot a dazzling 57 percent — yes, that’s right — with Davis leading the way. He missed just one of his eight shots and finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds, and let his play speak for itself, not showing any emotion until those closing seconds of the game.

“Anthony Davis is just the No.1 player in the draft,” Pitino said of the 19-year-old freshman, who has won just about every player of the year award there is. “When you’re playing against Bill Russell on the pro level, you realize why the Celtics won 11 world championships.”

Miller added 13 points, and Doron Lamb had 10.

Kidd-Gilchrist had nine, all in the second half.

Siva led the Cardinals with 11 points, and Gorgui Dieng had 12 rebounds.

“I told the guys, ‘Look, I’m going to Miami tomorrow and celebrating a season where we worked around the clock, around injuries and everything else. If you guys don’t celebrate and have good, clean fun, you’re fools,’” Pitino said.

The Kentucky-Louisville rivalry causes tempers to flare even in December when, in the grand scheme of things, games really don’t mean much. Heck, it took government intervention just to get the two schools to play on a regular basis back in the 1980s.

With the NCAA title game on the line, the latest skirmish in basketball’s version of the civil war so divided the small hoopcrazed state that senior citizens actually came to fisticuffs. But boy, did it make for a great show.

The game was such a big deal that No. 1 Kentucky fan Ashley Judd wasn’t even the biggest celeb in the house, with Jay-Z taking a prime seat behind the Kentucky bench.

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks recall UK ‘bullied us’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Kansas University will play Kentucky on Monday night for the national championship.

The Wildcats beat KU, 75-65, on Nov. 15 in New York.

“They bullied us,” KU forward Thomas Robinson said.

Of the rematch, Kansas coach Bill Self said: “It’s a dream for these kids to play on the biggest stage that college basketball has to offer this year, get to play the best team in the country hands-down from Day One to now. It’s a thrill.

“It’s more a thrill for us because nobody thought

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Indeed, KU, which is second in all-time wins, will meet Kentucky, which is first, at 8:23 p.m.

Monday with everything on the line.

“I feel I had to be as happy as I could get because that had to be as sad as they could get,” KU junior Elijah Johnson said of his reaction as Travis Releford inbounded the ball with 2.9 seconds left and Johnson ran out the clock on KU’s thrilling victory.

The final play came after a lane violation on a free throw that Aaron Craft deliberately missed after a KU foul in the backcourt.

The foul sent the sophomore guard to the line rather than letting OSU attempt a possible gametying three on the final possession.

The Buckeyes inexplicably did not foul Johnson as the clock expired with KU still up by two.

“I don’t think they knew what was going on,” Johnson said of the final inbounds play. “They were trying to get situated. I saw the referee about to blow the whistle. I knew he was about to hand it to ‘Trav.’ I was trying to hide behind him and play it cool. As soon as the official handed it to Trav, I broke loose. By the time they realized what was going on, it was over.”

Earlier, Releford (15 points, six rebounds) had swished two free throws

at center court in a section that included college head coaches Lon Kruger (Oklahoma), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Tubby Smith (Minnesota) and former Arizona coach Lute Olson, among others.

confidence, which he has,” Robinson added.

Withey finished with seven blocks to go with his four points.

“We fed off Jeff’s energy tonight,” said forward Kevin Young, who had five rebounds in 11 minutes.

Up three points, the Jayhawks benefited from a steal by Robinson, who took it away from Buford.

However, on the ensuing possession, Withey was called for a controversial travel in the lane at :27.

Buford slam-dunked to cut the gap to 62-61 at :9.6.

Next, Tyshawn Taylor (10 points, 4-for-4 from line) swished two free throws, and KU led, 64-61 with 8.3 seconds left.

Taylor stole the ball, but gunned a pass out of bounds toward Johnson with 3.8 seconds to play, giving OSU a final possession.

“It was like a quarterback third-and-long, and he missed bad. It was not even close,” Self said of Taylor’s pass.

“He could have held the ball there, but that’s Tyshawn, too,” Self added with a laugh.

Up three, Self elected to foul Craft in the backcourt rather than let the Buckeyes attempt a game-tying trey.

“If they were in a twoshot situation, I might not have done it,” Self said of fouling, “but the first one was the one with pressure (in a one-and-one situation). He made it. The second one, he crossed the line way too early.”

Indeed, with OSU down two and its only hope a wacky rebound and stickback shot, Craft instead

stepped over the line while horsing up a quick free-throw shot, and KU was able to inbound and end the game.

“That’s coach Self being the genius he is,” Robinson said. “We’re up three with under five seconds left, no reason to let them get a snip at a three. We fouled them and got the ball back and won the game.”

Withey finished with seven blocks while guarding OSU’s Jared Sullinger most of the game. Sullinger hit five of 19 shots and scored 13 points.

“I think my length bothered him a bit,” Withey said. “It was not my best game offensively, but defensively we did what we needed. He’s one of the candidates for player of the year. He can run, jump. I tried to keep my hand in his face.”

Cold-shooting KU hit just 11 of 30 shots the first half (44.6 for game to OSU’s 33.9) and missed five of six threes in falling behind, 34-25, at the break.

Robinson and Taylor combined for 14 points off 6-of-17 shooting. Buford had eight and Sullinger seven for OSU. “I thought tonight we came out slow, like we were in quicksand,” Self said. “Let’s face it, it’s a different pressure out here tonight. At halftime, we said enough of this nonsense. We came out the second half and defended well, rebounded well, did everything that could give us a chance.”

Now it’s on to Monday’s game against Kentucky.

“I told the guys our Bourbon Street was our locker room,” Self said.

we could get here. We still haven’t played terrific in the tournament, but somehow these guys find ways to win games.

“I’ve watched Kentucky all year long. They have guys that make plays you can’t coach. They’ve got pros, all that stuff. But we have good players, too.

We have to play like we are going to take it because Kentucky will play like they are going to take it.”

still is looking for a pair of marquee home games to begin home-and-home series. The Jayhawks will play in the CBE Classic on Nov. 19-20 in Kansas City’s Sprint Center with Washington State, St. Louis and Texas A&M. Matchups have not yet been set.

KU will play two games in Allen Fieldhouse against small to mid-major teams as part of the Classic.

Also, KU plans to take a foreign exhibition tour to a yet-to-be-determined place before next season.

Tours are allowed by the NCAA once every four years. In the past, KU has traveled to Canada.

In search of better competition, teams are now headed to such places as Greece, Spain, France or

Italy. KU could go on a tour in May, but if it did so, next year’s incoming freshmen would not be able to play. So it’s much more likely KU will head on the tour on a weekend such as Labor Day weekend. KU will announce details when the tour is finalized. !

Cat backlash: Former Kansas State star guard Jacob Pullen found himself on the receiving end of venomous tweets from backers of his school when he tweeted his dislike of the Bruce Weber hire.

Among Pullen’s retorts: “And please don’t speak on his national championship run that he made with bill self players and the best backcourt in the big ten three pros.”

We make the right plays, do everything we can to get the best shots possible.”

Taylor’s respect is so deep for Kentucky that the last thing he wants is for Kansas to put itself in a hole again.

“No way we can do that in the national-title game,” he said. “We’ve got to make sure we come from the jump ball and we’re on point, doing the things that we do when we get down.”

ELIJAH JOHNSON (15) AND OHIO STATE COACH THAD MATTA LAUGH about a play during the second half.

Teahan just ‘lets it fly’

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Before Saturday’s national semifinal game, Kansas University coach Bill Self singled out Conner Teahan in the locker room.

“He looked at me and goes, ‘Teahan, when you get in there, let it fly,’” Teahan said. “... That’s something he tells me a lot. I try to listen.”

The senior heeded his coach’s advice at perhaps the most important time Saturday, hitting one of the biggest shots in Kansas’ Teahan 64-62 victory over Ohio State.

With KU trailing 4943 with 8:20 left, Teahan freed himself off a KU out-of-bounds play.

The call was for a screen-the-screener, meaning Teahan was to set a pick then receive a screen from a teammate while fading to the corner for a three.

When the senior saw his defender overplaying him and also sagging in on teammate Thomas Robinson, he called a quick audible and peeled back the other direction.

Though he’d missed his previous two threes — including his first one, which was blocked — Teahan buried this one to pull KU within three.

Teahan didn’t see Self, but he said he could hear the coach behind him while running back on defense.

Self was violently pumping his fists, screaming out encouragement for his players to try to will them to get a stop.

Seconds later, KU’s Travis Releford stole the ball from Ohio State’s Aaron Craft and finished with a layup on the other end as KU cut the lead to one.

Teahan finished with just three points on 1-for-4

three-point shooting, but his one shot might have helped save KU’s season.

“The setting that it is now, it’s hard to make threes and shots,” KU guard Jordan Juenemann said. “You’ve just got to be a big-time shooter.”

Juenemann, who is Teahan’s roommate, did his best to keep his buddy loose before the game.

While laying around in their hotel room at around 4:30 p.m., Juenemann and Teahan were flipping between the pregame shows on ESPN and CBS. They were joking about what a few of the analysts had to say until ESPN’s Dick Vitale and Bobby Knight started discussing how tough it was to shoot in the Superdome and how that kind of environment could get in a shooter’s head.

“I solemnly changed the channel, just for Conner,” Juenemann said with a smile. “I was like, ‘OK, you don’t need to be hearing any of this.’”

An awkward silence followed, as Juenemann said he was pretty sure that Teahan knew the reason he’d changed the station.

Teahan also tried to help KU’s luck late. With a few minutes left, he surrendered his seat next to assistant coach Danny Manning, telling Kevin Young, “You got it.”

The two made the same switch in the final minutes of KU’s overtime victory over Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this year.

Luck aside, Teahan’s biggest contribution was the three-pointer that kept the Jayhawks close enough to make a push late — a shot he let fly, just as his coach told him to.

“I know that even throughout this whole entire year, the way I’ve been shooting the ball from three-point has been something that has been disappointing to myself,” Teahan said. “…

But (Coach) still has had faith in me, so that means a ton.”

UConn, Notre Dame set for battle of Big East foes

Eric Gay/AP Photo

IN THIS IMAGE TAKEN WITH A SLOW SHUTTER SPEED, BAYLOR PLAYERS PRACTICE at the NCAA Women’s Final Four on Saturday in Denver. Baylor takes on Stanford in a national semifinal today.

Griner, Mulkey ready to take Bears to top DENVER (AP) — An hour after losing in last season’s regional finals, Brittney Griner sent Baylor coach Kim Mulkey a text.

The message was simple: the 6-foot-8 junior phenom took responsibility for the loss and said it wouldn’t happen again.

So far Griner has fulfilled her promise, helping Baylor to an undefeated season and has the team two victories away from the first 40win season in N C A A history. “ S h e was the Griner only kid that texted me within an hour of the loss,” Mulkey said. “She said she was sorry that she Mulkey didn’t deliver. When you have a kid as talented as she is, you knew she was going to come back an even better player. She’s stronger, she’s forceful. She’s dominant.”

Standing in the way of a second national championship for Baylor (380) are Stanford and the Ogwumike sisters. The Cardinal (35-1) are making their fifth straight trip to the Final Four and are hoping to win their first title in 20 years.

While Stanford and Baylor haven’t played each other in four seasons, the other semifinal game features two teams who know each other inside and out. Notre Dame and Connecticut are facing each other for the eighth time in the past 14 months.

“I’d much rather play teams you don’t know so much about,” Mulkey said.

“I don’t think we played Stanford since Nneka is a freshman. Have to make sure I’m not overmedi-

cated and forgotten something. We are familiar with Stanford.”

These two teams haven’t played since 2008 — the year before Griner showed up, but Nnemkadi Ogwumike is eager for the chance. Ogwumike faced Griner in an AAU game back in high school, and that’s when she insists she learned to shoot 3-pointers because scoring in the paint was a big problem. But the senior feels like everybody else in the country has already faced Griner, and now she’s finally getting that chance in her NCAA tournament farewell.

“I’m very excited to finally get a chance to play against her,” Nnemkadi Ogwumike said. “I feel like I’m the only person who hasn’t played against her, it’s a big challenge.

I’m never one person to win easy. For us to come out and do what we need to do to win this game would be a really great accomplishment for us.”

Mulkey was dismissing her bout with Bell’s palsy as more of an inconvenience than anything else.

She announced Thursday that she was suffering from the disorder of the nerve.

“Don’t ask me to smile,” Mulkey said. “I think the distortion of the face is mild compared to cases I’ve seen before. The biggest problem I’ve had is my eyes, the light, the tears and dryness is all a part of it. The distortion, I’m just another ugly coach anyway. I’m not vain so it doesn’t matter.”

Baylor has been focused with the mantra of “Unfinished Business” all season long. Every player on the team is wearing a wristband with the two words on it. Mulkey said the team used the same motto the year it won its only title in 2005. The Lady Bears had been knocked out the year before on a tough last-second lost.

They want a national championship, and until

they get it, I just feel like they feel it’s unfinished business,” Mulkey said.

“Now, I know this, that if we go out on that floor and somebody beats us, I believe in my whole heart that we will be OK, because they’re going to have to play well. They’re going to have to play well and how can you be disappointed if somebody just plays better than you and you played just about as well as you could play?

And that’s how we’re going to approach it.”

Stanford could easily claim that motto for itself, having matched UConn and LSU with its five-year Final Four run. But Ogwumike says the Cardinal don’t use that for extra motivation.

“I can honestly say that it hasn’t been a focus of our team,” she said. “I think more so last year than it was this year at all.

It was devastating when we lost last year. This year it’s a new team, a fresh team. They understand what hard work really takes to get here. No one pays attention to us.”

It’s hard to ignore Stanford, which has won a school-record 32 straight games. The Cardinal’s only loss this season came at Connecticut in early November. Still few people are giving the Cardinal much of a chance to win seeing them as a heavier underdog.

“I don’t think we go into many games where we’re not expected to win,” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. “This game, there might not be anyone in this room besides me that thinks we are going to win.”

Playing the underdog role doesn’t bother Ogwumike.

“I’m here having fun with my team, I’m excited, ready to play, not just going to give on Sunday,” she said. “I’ll give it all I got especially because I’m a senior, it’s my last hurrah you got to go out with a bang.”

DENVER (AP) — The UConn-Notre Dame semifinal matchup at the Final Four offers no secrets or surprises.

The Big East bullies are meeting for the fourth time this season and for the eighth time in the past 14 months. By contrast, the other game pits Stanford and Baylor playing for the first time since 2008 and for just the fourth time ever.

Coaches Geno Auriemma of Connecticut and Muffet McGraw of Notre Dame say this grudge match between such familiar foes will come down to execution and effort with a dollop of desire mixed in for good measure.

Forget the X’s and O’s and leave the bag of tricks behind. They know each other’s plays and person-

“

There’s no mystery left. There’s not going to be any surprises. It’s all about heart, who is going to play the hardest, who is going to execute and play well.”

— Notre Dame guard Brittany Mallory nel about as well as they know their own.

“There’s no mystery left,” Notre Dame guard Brittany Mallory said.

“There’s not going to be any surprises. It’s all about heart, who is going to play the hardest, who is going to execute and play well.”

The Huskies are motivated by revenge — they lost to the Fighting Irish 72-63 at the Final Four last year after sweeping the

season series and beating Notre Dame in the conference tournament as well.

The Fighting Irish are driven by the mantra of unfinished business — after dumping UConn, they lost to Texas A&M in the title game a year ago.

“It (stinks) being the bridesmaid, you know what I mean? I want to get married. I want to be the main one, I don’t want to be the side chick,” said Notre Dame point guard Skylar Diggins, the Big East’s player of the year.

To get that chance, the Fighting Irish (34-3) will have to get past the Huskies (33-4) again tonight.

Buoyed by that win in last year’s Final Four, Notre Dame swept UConn in the regular season only to lose to the Huskies in the Big East tournament title game.

KANSAS BASEBALL

Jayhawks beat Tech for first Big 12 win

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Ritch Price’s Kansas University baseball team is officially out of desperation mode.

Coming in on a fivegame losing streak and 13-game winless streak in Big 12 play dating back to last season, the Jayhawks pieced together a 5-2 victory over Texas Tech Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

“We really needed a win about as bad as any team I’ve coached since I’ve been here,” the ninthyear KU coach said following the Jayhawks’ first conference victory of the season. “I think what I’m most pleased with was it was almost a complete victory.”

Leading the charge for KU (11-15 overall, 1-4 Big 12) was freshman left-handed pitcher Wes Benjamin, who reached a new career mark for strikeouts in a game — seven — by fanning Brennan Moore in the top of the sixth to cap a three-up, three-down inning. The 6-foot-2 hurler out of St. Charles, Ill., then increased his personal record to eight strikeouts by getting Jamodrick McGruder looking in the seventh.

Benjamin said he had been working on his offspeed stuff and has tried to “get a little more crafty” on the mound. After surrendering just six hits and three walks in seven in-

to the right-field gap to snag a potentially dangerous drive off the bat of Tech’s Scott LeJeune in the top of the third. Then, in the fourth, when Red Raiders pinch hitter Stephen Hagen hammered a line drive to the left-field gap, the fleet-footed Smith got to the warning track to thwart an extra-base hit and record the second out of the inning.

Said Price of the freshman from Leavenworth: “He took two runs off the board.”

Smith delivered at the plate, too. Following backto-back base hits by Connor McKay and Jake Marasco to open the bottom of the fourth, KU third baseman Jordan Dreiling moved the runners over with a sacrifice bunt, and Smith drove in McKay with a ground-out to shortstop. Marasco, who moved to third on the grounder, then scored on a wild pitch by Red Raiders starter John Neely, extending KU’s lead to 4-1.

Later, in the bottom of the sixth, Smith busted out of an 0-for-15 hitless slump that dated back to March 9 with a double off the left-field wall.

The Red Raiders and Jayhawks conclude their series at 1 p.m. today.

nings of work, the freshman pitcher credited KU’s defense against Texas Tech (16-12, 2-6).

“It’s a confidence booster when you’ve got that defense behind you,” Benjamin said. “You don’t have to worry about throwing pitches in different spots.”

QB Cozart commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The quarterback parade continues for the Kansas University football team, w h i c h learned Saturday that Bishop Miege H i g h q u a r - Cozart terback Montell Cozart had orally committed to Charlie Weis and the Jayhawks.

Cozart, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound dual-threat QB in the Class of 2013 who

played high school ball for new KU offensive line coach Tim Grunhard, is a three-star prospect according to Rivals.com and is the fourth quarterback to commit to Kansas since Weis took over in December, joining Dayne Crist, Jake Heaps and Turner Baty.

Cozart was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kansas last year after throwing for 2,448 yards and 31 touchdowns and rushing for 550 yards.

Cozart had scholarship offers from Minnesota, Northern Illinois and West Virginia and was receiving serious interest from at least half a dozen more BCS schools.

He credits his relationship with Grunhard for making the move to KU happen.

“I think coach Grunhard helped get my name to the Kansas coaches,” Cozart told JayhawkSlant. com back in February. “So they were one of the first schools to send me mail.

I know they are getting good transfers in there, and I think they will do good things in the Big 12.”

Cozart becomes the second member of his high school class to commit to KU. Fellow Kansan Ben Johnson, of Basehor-Linwood High, a 6-5, 230-pound tight end, orally pledged to KU a few weeks ago.

CELEBRATION EN MASSE

Jayhawk fans storm downtown to bask in afterglow of Final Four victory

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

We’re going to the ’ship.

So was the chant as hundreds of Kansas University men’s basketball fans flooded into Massachusetts Street Saturday night after the team beat Ohio State in a nail-biting 64-62 victory in the NCAA Tournament’s national semifinal. Fans hugged, high-fived and jumped for joy, celebrating in style with a mass mobbing of the closed-off street, collective excitement running wild.

Lawrence resident Von Edman watched the Jayhawks beat the Buckeyes in the law offices near Eighth and Massachusetts streets and then joined in the procession of happy Jayhawks.

“

It’s tradition here. We watch the game, then we watch the mayhem.”

— Lawrence resident Von Edman “It’s tradition here,” he said.

“We watch the game, then we watch the mayhem.”

Recent graduate Mariel Baki remembers the last time Kansas fans chanted about the championship in 2008. This flood of people reminded her of that night when Kansas beat John Calipari-led Memphis to win it all.

“This was too close for comfort,” she said of Saturday’s Please see REVELRY, page 2B

game. “But I’m excited and proud of them. And this is an awesome community to do this.”

Just a few minutes after the win, with thousands of fans high-fiving their way down the street, a second chant broke out, short and sweet: “KU! KU!” The Jayhawk pride was palpable.

Kyle Johnson took it all in, proud, too, in what a supposedly not-so-great team had already accomplished.

“If this is a rebuilding year, I want to rebuild every year,” he said.

Theron Howley walked from Louise’s, 1009 Mass., and into the fray with an 8-foot-plus-tall flag pole, Jayhawk colors flying high.

He too was reminded of 2008, when he carried the flag. That flag is lucky, he said, and so he had to carry it again.

“You don’t mess with lucky,” he said.

Lucky flag or not, the “tradition” posed a problem for law enforcement, who were out in force with nearly 200 officers on patrol downtown. Overall, the high-spirited crowd remained genial, with no major crime incidents or bookings as of early this morning. But officers did deal with many calls and worked to keep peace — along with people off light poles and roofs.

BRIEFLY First Watch to donate all profits on Monday

‘A great training event for the real world’

Lawrence’s First Watch restaurant will donate 100 percent of its profits on Monday to the local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in honor of former owner Todd Babington.

Babington, who battled diabetes, died last year at age 52.

He opened the Lawrence restaurant in 1997 and was one of the Brandenton, Fla.-based company’s first franchisees.

The restaurant, 2540 Iowa, is open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Since its founding in 1970, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has awarded more than $1.6 billion to diabetes research.

Lawmakers seek truce in economic ‘border war’ JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) — The ongoing slump in the national economy is pushing cities throughout the Midwest to fight harder for new jobs and faster growth. But some Missouri lawmakers say they’d like to turn down the heat in the Kansas City metro area.

Missouri House member T.J. Berry, a Republican from Kearney, says the states of Kansas and Missouri should put an end to tax credits that draw businesses back and forth across the state line without actually creating new jobs.

Berry has sponsored a bill in the Missouri Legislature to end those incentives. His bill would also require Kansas lawmakers to pass a similar measure.

Berry’s bill has passed the Missouri House and moved on to the Senate, but Republicans in Kansas say they aren’t interested in a similar bill.

Top 2 Kansas Juvenile Justice officials fired WICHITA (AP) — The top two officials at the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority have been fired.

The Wichita Eagle reported that Commissioner Curtis L. Whitten and Deputy Commissioner Dennis Casarona were fired Friday. Both men said the firing happened over the phone.

State Sen. Dick Kelsey said neither man was given justification or a chance to discuss concerns. The Goddard Republican is familiar with the justice authority and said the situation was mishandled.

CADET TAYLOR ZOELLE, FRONT, AND CADET QUADE KLEPPER, BOTH OF SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, work their way through some water Saturday as part of the 18th annual Ranger Buddy Competition at Sesquicentennial Park at Clinton Lake. About 260 ROTC cadets from across the United States participated in the mentally and physically challenging event.

ROTC cadets’ physical, mental stamina put to test in competition

By Chansi Long clong@ljworld.com

A throng of cadets, colonels and spectators stood at the top of a cliff. On the plain below, two cadets crawled through a patch of mud, got up, sprinted, then clambered up the hill using a rope for support.

Their muscles were throbbing; their bodies were heavy. But above them, the crowd cheered.

“Come on!” they screamed. “All you’ve got to do is sprint.”

The cadets climbing the hill were Stuart McConnell, and John Bergman, both of Kansas University. And they were just two among many compet-

ing in Saturday’s 18th annual Best Ranger Buddy Team Competition at Clinton Lake.

Twenty-nine schools from 13 states took part.

The Ranger Buddy Competition kicked off at 5 a.m., with a 15-kilometer ruck march. The grass was wet with dew and it was still dark outside as the cadets ran with 35-pound rucks slung on their shoulders.

McConnell and Bergman, who were the winners in the allmale category last year, placed first in the ruck run. And though it was challenging, they were ready. The duo had trained for the event Please see ROTC, page 4B

PROVIDING COVER FOR A FELLOW CADET, CLARK MAYNARD 21, from Columbia, Mo., was among the 260 ROTC cadets from across the country who were in Lawrence on Saturday for the 2012 Ranger Buddy Competition.

Cadets competed in teams for the Best Ranger Buddy Team title.

Standing at the top of a ladder propped against a house, Zack Leas reached into a gutter and scooped out leaves and mud, putting the gunk into a large paper bag.

His shoulders were sweaty from toiling in the sun: He had been working outside for a couple of hours already. At a house down the KANSAS block, he and UNIVERSITY two of his Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers had spent the afternoon removing siding and screens for a local homeowner. No money changed hands. It was all volunteer work, done by Kansas University students participating in The Big Event.

The Big Event is a day when college students perform service-oriented activities to show appreciation for the support they receive from the community. More than 2,000 KU students took part Saturday, raking leaves, spreading mulch, washing windows, cutting wood, pulling weeds and mowing Please see BIG EVENT, page 4B

by running with 50- and 60-pound rucks so the actual event wouldn’t be as tough. The KU cadets trained most days of the week, no matter the weather.

“We always train with the elements because you never know what the weather will be like,” McConnell said.

The weather on Saturday was kind: temperatures in the 80s, with a consistent breeze.

In the Best Ranger Buddy Team Competition, there were seven round-robin contests and two endurance runs.

All of the round-robin lanes were designed to replicate a real-life battle.

“We try to incorporate a lot of history to tie today’s generation with the ones that preceded it,” said Lt. Col. John Clark, the Army ROTC Admissions Officer for When it’s KU. In some all over, you cases, cafeel such dets were relief.

— Cadet Brenna “This Goodman, from is a great the University training of North Dakota, event for who was one of the real last year’s female w o r l d , ” Bergman winners. said. “In real combat you’re going to be doing physical things, and you’re going to have to make quick decisions on your feet.”

Cadet Brenna Goodman, from the University of North Dakota, was one of last year’s female winners.

“Every time you come into a competition like this, you know mentally it’s going to be tough,” Goodman said. “But it’s really hard to find strategies to overcome it, especially when you’re really exhausted and dehydrated.”

The event took its toll on some. Two people had to be escorted to the hospital: one with a head injury, another with a possible broken ankle.

Despite the hardships, the cadets kept moving.

“When it’s all over, you feel such relief,” Goodman said. “You can finally stop and think about everything you did that day.”

MEMBERS OF THE SIGMA NU FRATERNITY SPEND THE MORNING plowing a garden Saturday at One of a Kind day care center. The group was taking part in The Big Event, in which Kansas University students volunteer across Lawrence doing projects, such as painting, gardening and weeding.

lawns. They hefted heavy objects and trimmed bushes. They painted decks and planted trees.

As Leas and his two fraternity brothers cleaned a set of gutters, the owner of the home, Beth Pine, ambled out with three sweaty glasses of ice water, lemon plunked into each one.

“I’m thrilled that people are … helping me,” Pine said. “I can do this stuff by myself, but it would take so long. For me to clean the gutters it would take all weekend.”

Pine had first heard of The Big Event last year, the first time KU had it.

Then she saw a page for it on Facebook and “liked” it.

That was before she’d experienced the benefits herself.

This year when she saw updates on Facebook indicating students were looking for work, Pine sent a message with a list of chores that were challenging for her.

One of them was moving two golden lions sitting at the edge of her yard. The lions were too heavy for Pine, but Leas and the others collectively hoisted them.

Across town, Jordan Ashley plucked up debris and limbs scattered across a yard.

Ashley, of Olathe, is a sophomore and member of Alpha Tau Omega. He said days like The Big Event give students a chance to reinvent their image.

When people think of KU students, they might also think of loud parties and scattered beer cans, Ashley said. But students can change that perception through volunteer work.

“This gives a good chance to say, ‘Hey we’re here to support the community, not just use it as a playground,’” Ashley said.

One of the larger projects for The Big Event was

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORES Erin Gahagan, front, and Emily Paris clear weeds Saturday at the Lawrence Hidden Valley Camp as part of The Big Event. working on an incubator garden at John Taylor Park in North Lawrence. For this, students split into two shifts: one group worked from 9 a.m. to noon, the other from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Among the students in the afternoon group was Evan Dunbar, 20. Dunbar said one of the best parts of the day was seeing how happy and welcoming the community members who were receiving help were.

“The people we help get so involved,” Dunbar said.

“They aren’t just watching us; they brought water and food for us and were just so happy to see us. For them to get so excited, it makes us more excited.”

Dunbar is a sophomore from Texas, the state where The Big Event started. At Texas A&M, the school where the tradition originated, The Big Event is so ubiquitous, students often get the day off school to participate. Dunbar hopes that KU’s Big Event tradition, which is only just beginning, will eventually attract massive crowds, too.

“It’s a fun event,” he said. “I’ll definitely be involved (in The Big Event) the rest of the time I’m at KU.”

DENNIS WILSON, THE KANSAS LOTTERY’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, answers questions from reporters Saturday in Topeka about the winning Mega Millions ticket sold in northeast Kansas. Winning tickets were sold in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland for a share of an estimated $640 million jackpot.

Kansas winning ticket holder unknown ——

$640M prize to be shared with Ill., Md. winners

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Someone who bought a golden Mega Millions ticket in northeast Kansas is now the state’s all-time jackpot winner, but lottery officials said Saturday that the person hadn’t come forward to claim a share of the $640 million prize.

“We sure want to meet the winner, but we want to tell them, sign the back of the ticket and secure it,” Dennis Wilson, the state’s lottery executive director, said during a news conference at its Topeka headquarters.

Winning tickets also were sold in Illinois and Maryland, so the Kansas ticket is worth about $213 million. The Kansas winner can take a single cash payment estimated at about $154 million.

The Kansas store that sold the ticket will get a bonus of $10,000 from the state lottery. Federal and state governments will get a small windfall in taxes, too, and lottery officials said the share for Kansas will be 5 percent, or roughly $7.7 million.

Kansas lottery ticket sales shot up thanks to the promise of a big prize. Officials estimated 3.4 million tickets were sold at the 1,850 stores offering the lottery in the three days before the drawing, with sales averaging 3,500 a minute leading up to the drawing.

The largest previous jackpot for Kansas was almost $97 million in the multistate Powerball game.

It was won in November 2009 by Donald Damon, a 70-year-old retired truck driver from Great Bend, who claimed it within two days of the drawing.

Kansas law allows winners to wait up to a year to claim a prize — and remain anonymous. Wilson acknowledged that the Mega Millions winner could try to avoid being identified but said lottery officials will encourage that person to go public, so that there can be a public celebration.

But Wilson also said the person holding the ticket should secure both financial and legal help before contacting the lottery.

Winners must come either to the lottery’s Topeka headquarters or its office in Great Bend to claim a prize of $600 or more.

“I would say that a lot of people are sleeping in,” Wilson said. “Hopefully, again, they’re seeking good advice before they come forward.”

Lottery officials said that while its security team may be aware of which store sold the ticket, they don’t expect to identify it or its home community until the winner comes forward. Officials said only that the winning ticket was sold in one of 21 northeast Kansas counties.

RESIDENTS WALK IN THE STREET after a massive tornado hit Joplin, Mo., in this May 22, 2011, file photo. The National Weather Service is kicking off an experiment starting Monday with a new kind of tornado warning that’s aimed to scare people into seeking shelter.

‘UNSURVIVABLE!’ New tornado warnings aim to scare

By Bill Draper Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Even expert storm chases would have struggled to decipher the difference between the tornado warnings sent last May before severe weather hit Joplin and, a few days later, headed again toward downtown Kansas City.

The first tornado was a massive EF-5 twister that killed 161 people as it wiped out a huge chunk of the southwest Missouri community. The second storm caused only minor damage when two weak tornadoes struck in the Kansas City suburbs.

In both cases, the warnings were harbingers of touchdowns. But three out of every four times the National Weather Service issues a formal tornado warning, there isn’t one.

The result is a “cry wolf” phenomenon that’s dulled the effectiveness of tornado warnings, and one the weather service hopes to solve with what amounts to a scare tactic.

In a test that starts Monday, five weather service offices in Kansas and Missouri will use words such as “mass devastation,” ‘‘unsurvivable” and “catastrophic” in a new kind of warning that’s based on the severity of a storm’s expected impact. The goal is to more effectively communicate the dangers

“

We’d like to think that as soon as we say there is a tornado warning, everyone would run to the basement.”

— Ken Harding, a weather service official in Kansas City of an approaching storm so people understand the risks they’re about to face.

“We’d like to think that as soon as we say there is a tornado warning, everyone would run to the basement,” said Ken Harding, a weather service official in Kansas City. “That’s not how it is. They will channel flip, look out the window or call neighbors.

A lot of times people don’t react until they see it.”

The system being tested will create two tiers of warnings for thunderstorms and three tiers for tornadoes, each based on severity. A research team in North Carolina will analyze the results of the experiment, which runs through late fall, and help the weather service decide whether to expand the new warnings to other parts of the country.

Laura Myer, a social science research professor at Mississippi State University, said people she has interviewed want more advance warning about a potential tornado strike and

more information on the specific locations where the storms are expected to hit.

“We have found in Mississippi and Alabama and various other Southern states that people feel they would constantly be going to a shelter if they heeded every tornado warning,” she said. “For people in mobile homes, that’s the craziest thing.

“To get to a shelter, they have to leave home,” she said. “They feel like if they left during every watch or warning, they would be on the road all the time.”

The primary audiences for weather service’s written bulletins are broadcasters who issue warnings on the air and emergency management agencies that activate sirens and respond to the storm’s aftermath. In the event of a Joplin-like tornado, the new-look warning would have an urgency hard to ignore.

Andy Bailey, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Pleasant Hill, Mo., said it might look something like this: “THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO WITH COMPLETE DEVASTATION LIKELY. ... SEEK SHELTER NOW! ...

MOBILE HOMES AND OUTBUILDINGS WILL OFFER NO SHELTER FROM THIS TORNADO — ABANDON THEM IMMEDIATELY.”

Prosecutor in Trayvon Martin case known for being tough

By Mike Schneider Associated Press

SANFORD, FLA. — The special prosecutor leading the investigation into the shooting death of an unarmed black teen by a neighborhood watch volunteer is known for her tough tactics aimed at locking up criminals for long sentences and making it difficult to negotiate light plea bargains.

Furthermore, 57-yearold Angela Corey has handled hundreds of homicide cases involving the justifiable use of deadly force — experience that could prove invaluable. It will be up to Corey whether to charge 28-year-old George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who says he was defending himself when he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a scuffle. Martin was unarmed as he walked from a convenience store, and the case has become a racial flashpoint with protesters across the nation calling for his arrest. Zimmerman’s father is white, his mother Hispanic.

Police did not initially charge Zimmerman because of a state law allowing someone to use deadly force if his life is in danger.

Corey, who also could call a grand jury to decide whether to file charges

against Zimmerman, is known in legal circles as being passionate about victim’s rights and having clubby ties to law enforcement. She won the State Attorney’s Office seat after being fired from her job at the office a few years ago, beating the handpicked successor of the state attorney who fired her.

Corey was appointed the special prosecutor in the case by Gov. Rick Scott after State Attorney Norm Wolfinger, whose

district covers Sanford, recused himself.

Since she took on the case a dozen days ago, Corey and her team of two prosecutors and an investigator have interviewed witnesses in Sanford and visited the scene of the shooting. She also has instituted a media blackout, refusing to comment on any aspect of the case as of this week. Corey refused to take any questions about the Trayvon Martin case during a telephone interview on Friday.

FITCHBURG, WIS. — A confident Mitt Romney is predicting victory ahead of Tuesday’s presidential primary in Wisconsin.

“It feels better and better.

The support for my campaign is growing stronger and stronger,” he told supporters Saturday Romney afternoon at a call center for Republican Gov. Scott Walker. “This was an uphill battle for me if you looked back three or four weeks ago. And now we’re looking like we’re going to win this thing on Tuesday.”

Locked in an intra-party nomination fight that has spanned three months, Romney said that a Wisconsin win, on top of last week’s victory in Illinois, would help seal his fate as the Republican nominee in the general election against President Barack Obama.

Syria says it won’t be first to lay down arms

By Zeina Karam Associated Press

BEIRUT — Syria rejected international envoy Kofi Annan’s call for the regime to halt violence first just days after the government agreed to a ceasefire plan. A senior official declared victory over the opposition.

It was the government’s first response to an appeal

by Annan, the U.N.-Arab League envoy, to stop military operations first as “the stronger party” in a “gesture of good faith” to the lightly armed opposition. Annan brokered the agreement aimed at stopping the bloodshed, and Syrian president Bashar A s s a d agreed to it on Monday.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdessi said the Assad government will not pull tanks and troops from towns and cities engulfed by unrest before life returns to normal there.

“The battle to bring down the state in Syria has already ended, and the battle of reinforcing stability has started,” Makdessi said in an apparent reference to a string of recent regime offensives that drove rebels from key strongholds. He spoke on state TV late Friday.

Activists reported fresh violence Saturday that killed more than two dozen people. The U.N. estimates more than 9,000 people have been killed since the uprising to oust Assad began a year ago.

The Foreign Ministry statement raised serious doubts about whether Annan’s plan to end the conflict will even get off the ground.

PAUL CLEMENT, THE LAWYER REPRESENTING STATES OPPOSED TO THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, talks to media Wednesday outside the Supreme Court in Washington at the end of arguments on the law’s constitutionality. Chances are bleak that Congress would act to restore any parts of the law that the court might strike down, one reason why Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told Clement, “So why should we say, it’s a choice between a wrecking operation, which is what you are requesting, or a salvage job.” She added, “And the more conservative approach would be salvage rather than throwing out everything.”

Court gives Congress rough treatment

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court left little doubt during last week’s marathon arguments over President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul that it has scant faith in Congress’ ability to get anything done.

The views about Congress underlay questions from justices who appear to be on both sides of the argument over the constitutionality of the law’s key provision, the individual insurance requirement, as well as whether the entire law should be thrown out if the mandate is struck down.

The comments were particularly striking from the conservative justices who have called on unelected judges to show deference to the actions of elected officials.

Justice Antonin Scalia, who appeared strongly in favor of striking down the entire law, was the most outspoken in his disdain for the branch of governBombs in Thailand ment that several justices can see from their office kill 14, wound 341 windows.

ing reaction when the lawyer leading the challenge to the law appeared to suggest Congress could pass new legislation “in a couple of days,” if the court wiped away the entire law.

The justices thus seemed to be thinking along the same lines as the public, according to polls that show Congress’ standing at historic lows.

That outlook, more prevalent among the conservatives than the liberals on the court, is one reason that the Obama administration’s lawyers ran into such stiff resistance in questions from the bench.

Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. repeatedly invoked Congress’ power under the Constitution to take aggressive action to deal with health care, which makes up 17 percent of the U.S. economy, and with the problem of 50 million people who lack insurance but whose health costs are being passed on to taxpayers and those with insurance.

The court, Verrilli said at the end of Tuesday’s argument session, “has a solemn obligation to respect the judgments of the democratically accountable branches of government.”

Certainly, the liberal justices appeared to agree with Verrilli that Congress, then under Democratic control, did not exceed its power.

Now, Congress is essentially locked in a stalemate, with power divided between Republicans who control the House and a Democratic majority in the Senate.

Chances are slim that Congress would act to restore any parts of the law that the court might strike down, even noncontroversial provisions.

WORLD

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Missile defense isn’t the only area in which President Barack Obama will have “more flexibility” if he’s re-elected. Immigration, the Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline, gay marriage, tax policy and other issues could invite bold initiatives by a president who knows he will never run for office again, especially Obama if his party gains ground in congressional elections.

For now, however, Obama is postponing action on several difficult issues, knowing that Republicans are determined to deny him political victories a few months before their chance to oust him. He’s hardly the first to adopt that strategy.

Obama expressed a fundamental truth when he quietly told Russia’s president that he will have “more flexibility” to deal with the touchy issue of missile defense after the Nov. 6 election — if Obama wins, that

is. The statement might have raised few eyebrows had Obama made it nonchalantly to a U.S. audience. Instead, it kicked up a fuss because Obama thought the microphones were off when he spoke with Dmitry Medvedev in South Korea, and because Obama seemed to take his re-election for granted.

Presidents traditionally ease their foot from the gas pedal in their fourth year, when re-election politics overshadow almost everything.

President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, played smallball in 1996, proposing school uniforms and midnight basketball programs after previously tackling much tougher issues such as welfare cuts and targeted tax increases (successfully) and a major health care overhaul (unsuccessfully).

President George W. Bush, a Republican, talked vaguely of overhauling Social Security during his 2004 re-election campaign, and then found the public wasn’t ready for major changes after he won. Had he emphasized the proposed revisions during his campaign, Democrats’ cries of “privatization” might

have tipped the close election to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

“No president of either party has any flexibility whatsoever during a reelection year,” said Dan Schnur, a former GOP presidential aide who teaches political science at the University of Southern California.

“Your honeymoon is long gone,” he said. “Everything you do will be judged strictly in a political context. And anything you do that’s remotely unpopular could cost you the election.”

Obama has been blunt about election-year constraints. At a March 6 news conference, he acknowledged Hispanic supporters’ anger over his failure to achieve immigration changes, including paths to legal status for some illegal immigrants.

Obama, foreshadowing what he told Medvedev, said a presidential election can change the policy landscape.

“My hope is that, after this election, the Latino community will have sent a strong message that they want a bipartisan effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform,” he told reporters.

Clinton: Time running out for diplomacy with Iran

By Bradley Klapper Associated Press

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made clear Saturday that time is running out for diplomacy over Iran’s nuclear program and said talks aimed at preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon would resume in mid-April.

With speculation over a possible U.S. or Israel military attack adding urgency to the next round of discussions in Istanbul set for April 13, Clinton said Iran’s “window of opportunity” for a peaceful resolution “will not remain open forever.”

She also expressed doubt about whether Iran has any intention of negotiating a solution that satisfies the U.S., Israel and other countries that believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran contends the program is solely for peaceful energy and research purposes.

“We’re going in with one intention: to resolve the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program,” Clinton told reporters after attending a security conference in Saudi Arabia.

“Our policy is one of prevention, not containment.

We are determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a

“We enter into these talks with a sober perspective about Iran’s intentions.

It is incumbent upon Iran to demonstrate by its actions that it is a willing partner and to participate in these negotiations with an effort to obtain concrete results.”

Her remarks followed President Barack Obama’s announcement Friday that the U.S. was moving ahead with penalties aimed at depriving Iran of oil revenue, while also working with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states to ensure ample

global petroleum supplies.

Clinton prodded Gulf governments to develop a coordinated defense strategy against Iranian missiles.

With tensions rising in the region, she said American and Gulf militaries should cooperate to improve maritime security as well.

Underscoring the limits of U.S.-Gulf cooperation, however, U.S. officials confirmed Saturday that the United Arab Emirates had shut down an Americanfunded democracy group, following similar Emirates action against a German organization this past week.

Arts compromise There are hopeful signs for a compromise that would reorganize and re-fund the arts in Kansas.

W

ith the help of some additional funding approved by a legislative conference committee, a plan to establish a new Creative Industries Commission to support arts and film endeavors in Kansas now seems like a reasonable compromise for the state.

Last year, Gov. Sam Brownback used his line-item veto to eliminate all funding for the Kansas Arts Commission. This year, he decided to revisit that funding issue and proposed the new commission, which would replace the Arts Commission and the Kansas Film Commission and would be part of the Kansas Department of Commerce. Brownback’s budget included $200,000 to fund the new commission, but, to many, that amount seemed a bit skimpy, considering that the Film Commission had received $110,000 for the current year.

A House-Senate budget conference committee apparently agreed with that view and decided to add another $500,000 to the new commission’s budget. If approved by the Legislature and the governor, that amount would give the new commission a better chance of restoring the functions of the Arts Commission and again qualifying the state for federal and regional matching funds.

About $1.3 million in such funding was lost this year because the state didn’t have a state-funded arts agency.

It’s good that Brownback agreed to revisit the issue of Arts Commission funding. Legislators and arts supporters are willing to get behind the Creative Industries Commission plan if some additional funding is provided. Hopefully that is a compromise the governor also can support.

Costs change health care delivery WASHINGTON — Listening to the lawyers talking nonstop last week about health care gave me a headache, so I decided to consult one of the nation’s top doctors. He offered a real-world diagnosis of what’s happening in health care — and a reminder of how much it’s changing, regardless of what the Supreme Court decides about Obamacare.

My medical guru is Dr. Delos “Toby” Cosgrove, the chief executive of Cleveland Clinic, a $6 billion network that’s one of the biggest and best providers in the country. Cosgrove explained how the health system is being transformed by basic economic pressures that predated the new law and will continue, regardless.

Talking with Cosgrove, you get the sense that the political (and now, legal) version of the health care debate is in many ways a distraction from what matters most, which is how care is actually delivered to patients. And that’s changing, inexorably, because of underlying cost pressures.

The Supremes could throw Obamacare out the window, and we’d still have a revolution in health care delivery that promises better treatment for Americans, at lower cost. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (humor me, while I use its real name) will make this revamped system accessible to more Americans, so I’m for it

“

The Supremes could throw Obamacare out the window, and we’d still have a revolution in health care delivery that promises better treatment for Americans, at lower cost.” on equity grounds. But even if the mandate to buy insurance disappears, hospitals and docs will keep moving into the new world of care.

We should understand that the current debate is over financing and access — not health care delivery. As Cosgrove says, “That train has left the station.” Drawing on Cosgrove’s analysis, here’s a summary of the changes already in play: ! Hospitals are consolidating. Today, says Cosgrove, 60 percent of hospitals are part of consolidated systems; an example is Cleveland Clinic, which now has locations in four states including its headquarters in Ohio. These

systems will keep merging as they drive toward greater efficiency. It’s the same process that happens in every industry, from banking to book retailing. It will make care a little more impersonal — but also cheaper and better.

This rationalization will close small and inefficient community hospitals — one U.S. official estimates that up to 1,000 hospitals should be closed. As a result, we’ll have fewer hospital beds and more outpatient and home care.

What’s forcing consolidation is that reimbursements from Medicare are going to be reduced, requiring hospitals to cut costs. ! Doctors are becoming salaried, joining the trend pushed by the Cleveland and Mayo Clinics and some other top providers. Today, about 60 percent of doctors nationwide are on salary, up about 10 percent from several years ago. Cosgrove predicts that this will rise to at least 70 percent over the next decade.

Salaried doctors won’t have the same economic incentives to provide expensive treatments that may not make sense for patients. They’ll be paid well (an internist at Cleveland Clinic starts at about $120,000) but not the stratospheric salaries that once encouraged every doc to dream of driving a Porsche.

Meanwhile, a shortage of doctors and nurses means that less senior (and less ex-

pensive) practitioners are providing more care. A physician’s assistant, increasingly, will treat minor ailments; in operating rooms, says Cosgrove, 40 percent of those present are technicians, rather than doctors and nurses. ! Health records are finally going electronic, which should allow additional big savings.

It’s an expensive transition (Cleveland Clinic has spent $300 million on electronic records systems over the past decade) but it will pay huge dividends, in terms of cheaper and better care. ! The federal government is gathering better data on health outcomes, which will encourage national standards for care. Hospitals already report 65 metrics for care to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. By 2014, they will be reporting 85 items that will measure everything from patient satisfaction to infection and mortality rates.

The health care overhaul is happening whatever the Supreme Court decides.

The main consequence of the Obamacare case will be whether the justices toss out the existing rule book, forcing everyone to start over again.

The justices can slow things down in this way, and they can make the system more equitable or less, but they can’t stop the revolution.

Positive move

ongratulations to Lawrence Memorial Hospital trustees for their decision to have the hospital pursue membership in the Midwest Cancer Alliance. It would be a positive move for the hospital to join the alliance, which would connect LMH with the Kansas University Cancer Center’s clinical trials.

This alliance includes Stormont-Vail HealthCare in Topeka and Via Christi Hospital in Wichita, along with the St. Luke’s Health System and Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City. The collaborative cancer research effort is bound to broaden clinical trials as well as focus on what can be done to improve the care of cancer patients. It’s a winning program in every respect.

In addition to joining the alliance, LMH also should develop a working relationship with KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Such ties would pay dividends for LMH patients and could help the hospital deal with the challenging economic conditions facing all hospitals.

KU Hospital is recognized as the best overall hospital in this region, and there would be many benefits from having a closer working relationship between it and LMH.

Upsetting words fail the test (Warning: This column contains language some readers may find unsuitable for children. Parental guidance is suggested.

No, seriously, you have been warned. This is your last chance. Turn back now.)

Still here? OK, fine. Don’t say you weren’t told. Here’s one of the offensive words: “Dinosaur.”

And another: “Birthday.”

And another: “Pepperoni.”

And yes, yet another: “Dancing.”

Let’s stop there before you have to fan away the vapors and break out the smelling salts. Or maybe you don’t find those words offensive. Maybe you use such language around kids all the time. Well, that tells us something about you.

It tells us you are not a member of the New York City Department of Education. It seems the department has sent to companies bidding to revamp the city’s standardized tests a list of words and topics they do not want those tests to contain.

The reason: Those words and topics might make children uncomfortable. Or as a spokeswoman for the education department told the New York Post, which broke the story last week, banning those words “allows our students to complete practice exams without distraction.”

So how are those words a “distraction?” Well, let’s look at the list.

“Dinosaur?” Not everyone accepts the theory of evolution.

“Birthday?” Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t celebrate them.

“Pepperoni?” Junk food.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

But this list suggests just the sort of liberal overreach and politically correct contortions that give sensitivity a bad name.”

That stuff’ll kill ya.

“Dancing?” Didn’t you see “Footloose”?

The full list is said to contain 50 objectionable words and topics, which also includes: “Halloween” (too pagan), “divorce” (upsetting to the child whose parents have split), “disease” (upsetting to the child whose Nana has taken ill), “home computers” (not everyone can afford such luxuries), “terrorism” (scary), “slavery” (bad) and space aliens (Sorry, Superman.) In its defense, New York issued a statement saying that other school systems also have banned words lists. It says Florida bans the word “hurricane” and California bans the word “weed” (insert stoner joke here).

This comes as news to Florida and California. Spokespersons for education departments in both states told me that, while they do seek cultural sensitivity in their testing, they maintain no lists of specifically banned words Surely, no one objects to reasonable attempts to be

sensitive to and inclusive of those marginalized by culture, class, religion, race, or what have you. But this list suggests just the sort of liberal overreach and politically correct contortions that give sensitivity a bad name.

Is it really the educators’ belief that children can — or should — be shielded from every unpleasant, unhealthy or controversial reality of life? Or that they will fall to pieces if exposed to same?

Rather than shield the fundamentalist kid from the fact that not everybody believes God created the world in a week, rather than shield the poor kid from the fact that some people have computers at home, rather than shield the vegan kid from the fact that some people eat pepperoni pizzas, is it not more important to teach them to navigate a world of tumult where not everybody believes or behaves as you do? Isn’t that part of what education is for?

But then, America long ago forgot what education is for — a fact you can illustrate for yourself by scanning test scores, reading an online message board or stopping five people on the street to ask them when was the War of 1812. It is telling that, as we slide toward intellectual mediocrity, our greatest city busies itself trying to keep kids from being exposed to such troubling concepts as birthdays and dinosaurs.

Thank goodness New York didn’t ban the word “duh.”

I’m thinking our kids are going to use that one quite a bit.

Henderson is an expert electrician for the Lawrence Electric Light Company and one of his duties is to attend to the lights about the city.

Last evening about nine o’clock one of the lights on Ontario street was not working right so Henderson went out to see what was the matter. He took hold of the cable that shifts the light up and down and as he did so received a severe shock. By some strange freak the force of the shock threw Henderson aside so that only his hand was burned. Ordinarily the shock would have killed a man instantly.

Of course his hand is badly burned but there probably will be no serious results.”

WILLY WONKA, PORTRAYED BY ACTOR JERRY MITCHELL, IS SURROUNDED BY OOMPA-LOOMPAS during a rehearsal Tuesday for the production of “Willy Wonka” at the Lawrence Arts Center.

‘Willy Wonka’ production features enthusiastic youths as Oompa-Loompas

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

The Oompa-Loompas run free.

Dressed in green pill-box hats and clad in polka dots and stripes — lots of stripes — they excitedly roam around the greenrooms, the wings, the nooks and crannies off the stage. Don’t blame them for their energy; the youngest of them are just 6 years old. Well, director Ric Averill thinks so at least.

“Some 5-year-olds might

have snuck in there. I’m not sure,” he says.

But no matter. Regardless of age, they’re chatting as kids do — probably a little too much.

But when it’s their time to jump on stage, they’re all business.

Two Oompa-Loompas are responsible for wheeling a prop TV set on stage and then, at just the right moment, introducing a doll through a slit in it to re-create a whimsical moment in Roald Dahl’s “Willy

Win or lose, watching the game a good time

iling this column at my Thursday afternoon deadline, I don’t know whether you’ll be reading it today on a “thrill-of-victory” high or an “agony-of-defeat” low. It doesn’t matter. This one isn’t about wins and losses. It’s not about end results.

It’s about the process.

When I was younger, the most important thing was bragging rights — being No. 1 nationally, in the conference, or, at least, beating Missouri.

Nothing mattered but the numbers on the scoreboard at the end of the game, the win-loss record and your tournament seed in March.

Now that I’ve matured (and I concede the point is debatable), I’ve started to appreciate the age-old adage: It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you

And he did touch it, too. Repeatedly. Joe — I mean, “Joe” — would point to a player and attempt to drag him across the big screen like in some crazy basketball video game. (Note to game developers: “Angry Jayhawks,” maybe?)

faster her hands would fly.

I’m guessing she’s completed three baby sweaters, four hats and two pairs of socks in the month of March alone.

While one sat in stone silence, another would pace wildly, cussing a blue streak.

(OK, that might have been me.) Where one would snack continuously, another couldn’t eat a bite.

Then, there was the cacophony of comments, muttered and shrieked: Guard the perimeter!

Set up the play!

BEHIND THE LENS

A photographer’s notes from the postgame scrum

By Nick Krug nkrug@ljworld.com

John Young/Journal-World Photos

CHARLIE, PLAYED BY ELI BORK, CELEBRATES finding the final golden ticket during a rehearsal Tuesday for the production of “Willy Wonka” at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Wonka CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Wonka,” a Broadway-format musical that’s similar to the 1971 movie “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.”

During a tech rehearsal on Tuesday, on their second try, the kids nail it.

And the scene is made.

Averill says show has an inclusive nature — age-appropriate casting for the kids and parents who make up the lead protagonists as well as 5- and 6-year-old Oompa-Loompas, or little people from Loompaland that live in the eponymous factory — and that it truly is a family production, made by and for families.

Naomi Brakenhoff plays Violet Beauregarde, a gumchewing little brat who, like several in the story, meets an unpleasant comeuppance because of her own greed. She says her mom would be in “Willy Wonka,” too, if she weren’t just about to give birth to Naomi’s baby sister.

“It’s lots of fun to do the play,” Naomi says. “Everyone’s so nice, it’s like a family.”

Averill says about 100 people are involved, including children, some parents, 20 “squirrels” (it’s a big number) and a seven-piece orchestra.

ELLIOT AHLVERS PLAYS AN OOMPA-LOOMPA during a rehearsal Tuesday for “Willy Wonka.”

They started rehearsing at the beginning of February and started with work two or three times a week but picked up in preparation for their Sunday matinee and three shows next weekend. With so many cast members and moving parts to any production, let alone this colorful musical, Averill’s work is several parts organizing the chaos but also a labor of love.

It’s worth it, he says, because “it’s a really fun piece” and because the even the smallest kiddos learn from the process.

They learn theater techniques and vocabulary through first-hand experience.

That’s a bonus for Elizabeth Slade-Haney, who plays Mrs. Gloop, the mother of a food-loving little boy who gets into

Boomer

trouble falling into a chocolate river. Slade-Haney says it’s great for kids, a lot of whom don’t go to the same schools, with an interest in theater to get together to learn. Personally, it’s a connection with her childhood that attracted her to the role — the original film was one of the few she and her brother could agree on. Appealing, too, she says, was the chance to work with local actor Jerry Mitchell, who plays Wonka.

The production is a lot of what people will likely expect, and some of what they won’t, Averill says, as it will include songs that aren’t in the movie.

“It’s a sweet, fun piece,” he says.

If you had the chance to catch the postgame celebration following the Jayhawks’ 80-67 victory over North Carolina, you probably saw the team pour onto the floor in celebration after the buzzer. If you were seated at a downtown bar in Lawrence, you may have missed the trophy hoisting and net cutting if you were among the thousands washed onto Mass. Street in the moments after.

In years past, mass hysteria ensued after the final buzzer as the pack of photographers stacked two rows deep on each baseline headed for the celebration at mid-court. It’s a little different now. It appears as though the NCAA has wised up with their approach to the postgame scrum. At least a little bit.

Now, photographers are held in their designated spots on the baseline for a full minute after the game has ended to photograph the celebration. This allows for several things to occur: The winning team gets their moment to jump around together, the CBS live cameras get a clean and unobstructed view of the celebration, the losing team and all their grief has the chance to vacate the floor safely, and, finally, a small stage is assembled for the trophy presentation followed by “One Shining Moment.”

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON HOISTS the Midwest Regional trophy as he and teammates Jeff Withey, left, Travis Releford, right and Tyshawn Taylor celebrate the Jayhawks’ 80-67 win Sunday over North Carolina in St. Louis.

Once all this occurs and the team is up on stage, all the photographers are given the green light. With that, all the civility and shooting pictures while patiently waiting one’s turn on the baseline is sent back down the evolutionary ladder in place of a snarling pack of beasts with thousands of dollars of equipment slinking from their arms.

In the pile, elbows and expletives fly without regard or warning. And it’s not uncommon that both the offender and receiver know each other, if not well.

At times it’s embarrassing to admit that I occasionally have to mix it up in the middle of all

this. Sure I could make a stand by withholding my involvement in the postgame mosh pit, but all I’d have to show for it would be photos of the other photographer’s backsides.

With the last go-around in St. Louis before New Orleans, Journal-World photo chief Mike Yoder and I decided that he would shoot all the celebration from up high, while I would stick to the floor. It’s a good, safe bet to have two separate and drastically different looks of the same event.

Wonder if Mike might paper-rock-scissors me for the high spot at the Superdome?

For generations of industry research executives, AT&T’s Bell Telephone Laboratories served as an inspiration: a warren of youthful scientists and engineers assigned to go where their intellects took them, not especially concerned about serving the corporate bottom line, picking up cartloads of Nobel Prizes along the way. Bell Labs was the model for, among others, Xerox Corp.’s legendary Palo Alto Research Center, or PARC, which spun out the personal computer, Windows-style displays, Ethernet and many other advances that delivered their bounty more to society at large than to the

parent company.

Yet as Jon Gertner shows us in “The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation,” this image of corporate research in basic science as public philanthropy always owed more to Ma Bell’s PR department than to reality.

Even the labs’ most storied achievements, the invention of the transistor and the discovery of the background radiation left over from the big bang, were tethered to its mandate to help improve AT&T’s nationwide communications network of cable and copper wires.

“The Idea Factory” is an expansive treatment of the labs’ history, as it must be to encompass an institution that was born

‘Potter’ e-books go on sale online LOS ANGELES — The “Harry Potter” series, which has conquered media from hardcover books to movies, is finally available in electronic book format.

The books by J.K. Rowling can be purchased on Pottermore.com for $7.99 for the first three books, $9.99 for the last four installments, or $57.54 for the series.

The “Harry Potter” e-books can be accessed using several devices and reading services, including the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook and Google Play.

The news broke last summer that the books were on their way to digital format when Rowling announced Pottermore, which is a game-like website where users can relive the wizard series.

Currently, the full website is not open to all users. The website will open to the public in early April, a spokesman for the author said.

BEST-SELLERS Here are the best-sellers for the week ending March 24, compiled from data from independent and chain bookstores, book wholesalers and independent distributors nationwide.

“THE SEA IS MY BROTHER” by Jack Kerouac, pictured circa 1956, has recently been published in full. of them named Wesley) would all come to embody facets of his personality in his first published novel, “The Town and the City” (1950).

Stereotype vs. archetype Of course, lest this appear to suggest a connection between the books — in her introduction to “The Sea Is My Brother,” Beat researcher Dawn Ward argues that “these two novels, both based on his real-life experiences, are part of the writing method he started to develop in 1943 that he dubbed ‘Supreme Reality’” — the truth is that they couldn’t be more distinct. On the most basic level, it’s a matter of quality, but more important is the issue of scope.

Like much of Kerouac’s beginner writing, “The Sea Is My Brother” is claustrophobic, narrow in focus, disconnected from the complexities of life. It traffics not in archetype but in stereotype: the effete intellectual, the hard-drinking seaman, both of whom converse in speeches, offering not conversation but philosophy. Kerouac has not yet learned to let details do the heavy lifting, to find in the ecstatic rhythms of his language the narrative momentum that defines his later work. This is

not a novel so much as a novel in suspension — all well and good, I suppose, except it brings us back to that unanswered question: How did Kerouac get from here to what came afterward?

Such a question is no longer Kerouac’s to answer, if indeed it ever was.

Ward, however, doesn’t seem to have much interest in it, choosing to read the novel on its own terms. Yet what are these terms if they don’t consider Kerouac’s development? Without that why publish “The Sea Is My Brother” at all? It’s not as if the book is newly rediscovered, despite its billing as “lost”; a chunk of it appeared in “Atop an Underwood,” contextualized as part of Kerouac’s early writing. If, for the faithful, it’s interesting to see in its entirety, is that, finally, enough?

In the 42 years since his death at 47 of esophageal hemorrhaging, the Kerouac estate has put out 27 new books, nine more than the author published while alive. Many of them — “Book of Blues,” “Wake Up,” “Some of the Dharma” — have been eyeopening, expanding our sense of Kerouac and his work. But with “The Sea Is My Brother,” it appears, we’ve reached the end of the road.

‘The Idea Factory’ explores generations of Nobel-winning innovation at Bell Labs Adrian Brothers, high school student, Lawrence “I’m looking for books on the Eiffel Tower for my humanities class.”

in 1924 and still exists today, albeit in splintered form thanks to the courtordered breakup of AT&T in 1984. Gertner wisely chooses to focus his story on a handful of compelling narratives, such as the invention of the transistor.

The tensions among the three nominal inventors, Walter Brattain, John Bardeen and William Shockley, have been chronicled often.

But Gertner’s version is especially well told; it retains its fascination in part because of the outstanding peculiarities of Shockley, whose notorious embrace of racial eugenics later in life is part of a behavior pattern that led to his leaving Bell Labs to found his own semiconductor company, and to the breakup of that company when several top

aides fled to found Intel Corp.

Shockley is only one of the eccentrics populating this book. A more engaging example of the species is Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, whose perception that communications traffic could be reduced to discrete units (known as “bits”) regardless of its nature has helped drive computer and network design — and who could be spotted riding down the long, straight corridors of the labs’ Murray Hill, N.J., headquarters on a unicycle while juggling.

As this book documents, in its heyday Bell Labs truly was a marvelous innovation machine. Its string of Nobel Prizes stretches from 1937 to 2009.

Does God have a sense of humor?

He created man, didn’t he?

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, Chabad Jewish Center, 1203 W. 19th St.: Of course He has a sense of humor, as the verse clearly says in Psalms: “He who sits in the Heavens laughs.” In fact, to prove it to us, He created the duckbilled platypus. And to those still in doubt — He created man.

One of my most beloved verses is the one describing us humans as being created “In the Image of G-d”. This statement means that we were formed as a reflection of our Creator’s attributes and characteristics. This cannot be taken to mean that we literally look, feel or think like G-d does, be-

cause He has no form and is not limited in any way.

Rather we are like a one-dimensional reflection of Tiechtel a real object. From the reflection we can have an inkling of the original, but the reflection is surely nothing in comparison to the real thing.

This is expressed in many ways; some physical, others psychological and still others are purely in the spiritual realm. The gift of a sense of humor prevalent among humans is one of

them. When you and I find the strength to smile or crack a joke in the midst of a dark and dreary day, this is a direct manifestation of G-d’s gift of humor.

When I think of humor as a gift from above, it makes it so much easier to be happy at all times. Since we now know that happiness is not somewhere out there; it actually rests within, in that part of us that is forever young and forever giving — our soul, which was hand-crafted — with a smile — in the Image of G-d.

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

We need to lighten up about faith The Rev. Matt Cox, pastor, EastLake Community Church, 2734 La. (South Junior High): God most certainly has a sense of humor. I grew up hearing the joke “Just look at the platypus” as if weird-looking animals are proof of God’s comical ability. I suppose that’s possible.

But a sense of humor is something the faith community desperately needs.

If we believe God made us in His image, and we have a sense of humor (regardless of how corrupted the sense can get) then it stands to reason that God does too.

The bigger issue is that humor and fun have been pushed to the side in exchange for a sense of reli-

giosity. It’s our temptation to take ourselves so seriously that we miss the entire message and purpose that God put us Cox on this planet for in the first place: to love, encourage and enjoy others and leave the transformation up to Him. We’re imperfect humans. We shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously, but rather take God seriously to give us proper perspective.

However, Jesus used humor many times during His ministry — but in our over-analytic, let’s-makethings-more-complicated-

than-they-should church culture, we miss it. When Jesus used analogies like “First get rid of the log in your own eye” or “if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake?” He wasn’t trying to over-spiritualize the moment. Jesus was being funny. He was using sarcasm to make a point.

But we miss that because most of us are too busy obsessing over the Greek word for “log” as if we’re all supposed to go on this linguistic treasure hunt, getting caught up in the weeds of the words.

Yes, God has a sense of humor. And the first step to realizing that is to stop taking ourselves so seriously.

Lucky students get field trips to see ‘Hunger Games’ NEW YORK (AP) — For some school kids around the country, the odds have been ever (and awesomely!) in their favor as they’ve scored the ultimate field trip — an outing to “The Hunger Games.”

“All of my friends who don’t go to my school are all really jealous,” said 15-year-old David Schwartz. He was among about 500 ninth-grade English students from New Rochelle High School in suburban New York City who were taken to the movie on opening day.

Lexis Eberly was among 120 seventh-graders treated to opening day from Tuslaw Middle School in Massillon, Ohio. Her review: “If I had the chance, I would go see the movie 20 more times!”

For both, the field trip was the result of a blockbuster movie coinciding

with their curriculum: They were assigned “The Hunger Games,” the first book in Suzanne Collins’ best-selling trilogy, as summer reading heading into the school year.

In New Rochelle, the book has anchored much of the work in freshman English since the first day of school. They’ve written letters from the point of view of main characters and created maps of the arena where kids fight other kids to the death as the bawdy ruling class watches on TV in Collins’ dystopian world.

Some teachers and parents said they hoped the field trips would help their reluctant readers.

Brigid Barry, the English program administrator at Greenwich High School in Connecticut, said about 50 ninththrough 12th-graders from

Literacy Workshop, a program at the school, were treated to the movie.

“Sometimes you get a kid in the program who has never read a full book, so to see them excited to read this one, to accomplish that, is really something,” Barry said.

Mered Kopstein, one of the New Rochelle teachers who arranged private screenings at a local theater, said the outing achieved something else at her school, where more than 3,000 students are broken into smaller “learning communities”: It provided a rare chance to bring them together through text they’ve all devoured.

That point wasn’t lost on at least one of the students, 14-year-old Adrian McCullough. “It was more about unity, I think, as a group,” he said. “It wasn’t about getting out of class.”

Stop staring, comrades.

The spectacle is everywhere.

So says a bold, handscribbled sign currently attached a chain-link fence outside the entrance to the Spencer Museum of Art on Kansas University’s campus. Inside the fence is a small, blue tent.

Inside the tent, at times in the past week, have been students identifying with the strategies of the “Occupy” groups that started on Wall Street and spread across the world.

Neither the sign nor the students was invited, but, sometimes, when the worlds of art and protest meet, there’s room for surprises.

The sign originally marked the arrival of “Prepared: Strategies for Activists,” a collaborative exhibit and residency project going on at the museum through July. It was a professionally designed and printed sign, marking, too, that the chain-link fence as a “free-speech zone” where visitors can post calls for their own causes on separate pieces of paper. Someone took the idea to heart, tore down the big printed sign and wrote on the back.

But they’ve left it up, curator Kris Ercums says, because that’s just the spirit of the project. It’s not about passively looking at paintings hanging on walls. The spectacle, indeed, is meant to be everywhere.

“Prepared” is a residency for Chen Shaoxiong, a prominent Chinese artist interested in international protest as a cultural phenomena, and sponsored by the William T. Kemper Foundation. It’s multimedia and multidisciplinary, mixing visual art with film, dance, photography and lectures from Chen, KU students and faculty

‘Prepared: Strategies for Activists’ Prepare yourself: Events related to the project Wednesday: Professor Jessica Winegar on Creativity and Revolution: Egypt at a Crossroads, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium Thursday: SMA Student Night: Art Here! Art Now!, as well as Lawrence community members. It will be looking at “the way people protest — the techniques, strategies, experimentation and anatomy of organization” while serving to “expand the notion of ‘art’ to include focusing on ideas and activism,” Ercums says.

The art is collaborative — none of Chen’s visual pieces will hang in the final gallery — and meant to provoke thought.

“Compared to my socalled experimental project, almost all demonstrations and protest are very practical in nature. They emerge as the last resort, and are informed by unbearable, angry choices,” Chen says in his artist statement for “Prepared.”

“In the midst of a struggle the invention of new technique can become a temporary solution. These solutions are made with very little experimentation. And as for their reliability, their effectiveness and power, no one can

With global news like the continuing Arab Spring protests and Occupy demonstrations on people’s minds, Ercums says he’s hopeful those who have already participated in the “Prepared” project can still interact with its ideas and message.

“When we open,” he says, referring to the April 11 to July 22 segment of the project in which collected pieces will be on display, “it doesn’t mean it ends.”

Call health officials on dog in grocery store Dear Annie: Our town has a small grocery with popular hot and cold bars where customers can help themselves to deliciously prepared food. Lately, I have noticed a nicely dressed man at the store accompanied by his mediumsized dog. The man reaches into this food with his fingers and then lets his dog eat from his hand. This action is repeated several times.

When I complained to the two employees behind the customer service desk about the contaminated food being served to unsuspecting customers, they replied that they already knew. Then they added that the customer told them this is a seeingeye dog and they have to allow it into the store.

This cannot possibly be a seeing-eye dog. The man rides a bicycle to the store, and the dog is not on a harness. In fact, the dog often tugs at his leash to get the owner to follow

Annie’s Mailbox

wherever the dog wants to go.

I watched this dog lick condensation off of the products (milk, dips, cheeses, etc.) in the open coolers on the lower shelves. No employees asked the man to restrain his dog, nor did they tell the deli employees to remove the contaminated food. At lunch, the unsuspecting consumers purchased this same “leftover dog food” to feed their families.

I debated calling the health department but figured they would have

Dickens remake not that great “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations.” Douglas Booth stars as Pip, a poor orphan who comes upon a mysterious inheritance after being favored by a reclusive eccentric, the gothic Miss Havisham (Gillian Anderson), a woman still wearing the tatters of her wedding dress many years after being jilted at the altar.

The greatest shut-in in Western literature, Havisham is surrounded by the decaying ruins of her wedding party and attended to by her adopted daughter, Estella (Vanessa Kirby).

While certainly a visual treat, this new “Expectations” is more peculiar than engaging.

For starters, Booth’s Pip often looks like a dandy from some 1980s New Wave music video.

He’s prettier than Estella and often comes off like a petulant, boozy social climber. It’s difficult to empathize with his plight.

The two-parter (concluding next Sunday) is all but stolen by Anderson’s Havisham. Everything about her performance, from her voice to her wardrobe to the way she is lit, is over the top. At her best, she is ethereal and mad, but after a while she seems like a theme park ghost.

“Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO) returns for a second season. This tale of warring kingdoms and struggles for successions unfolds in epic fashion. The season opener offers a grand hopscotching overview of the proceedings, taking us from the North to the East — from a beachside religious ritual to a frozen wasteland where a bully reigns over an incestuous harem.

It’s obviously difficult to develop a sense of irony or humor with violent death right around the corner, destiny at your doorstep and a knife at your throat.

There’s so little time for witty repartee. Could that be why I find so many characters forgettable? Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion is a welcome exception.

Tonight’s other highlights

to catch the man in the act. What can I do? — Now Shopping at the Nearby Superstore Dear Shopping: Even if this were a service dog (and it seems unlikely), it does not obligate the store to allow the animal to lick the milk cartons and be fed by hand directly from the food containers. Please call the health department and ask them to investigate. That will at least put the store on alert.

Dear Annie: My husband is driving me crazy.

Everything I say, he says the opposite. Even if I voice an opinion I know he shares, he’ll take the opposite viewpoint. If I say I don’t want something, he says, “Yes, you do.” If I say I want to go somewhere, he’ll say, “No, you don’t.”

He also belittles the books I read. Every TV show I like, he says, “It’s dumb.” If it belongs to me, he says, “Let’s get rid of it.” Whatever I want

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, April 1: This year you express a very playful and creative personality.

Others clearly are drawn to you, and this popularity reveals many new options. If you are single, you might want to play the field before committing to a relationship. If you are attached, the two of you remind many people of what it’s like to be new lovers.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Do what you feel is important, and take some muchdesired free time. Be spontaneous when making plans later today.

Tonight: Kick up your heels.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) As you rub your eyes to clear out what the Sandman left behind, you realize that you want to have a lazy day. You actually might need a timeout from your normal activities. Tonight: Order in.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You have a way with words and a distinct style. You can be verbal and witty, but make sure you also incorporate affection and caring into your agenda. Tonight: Whatever you want is fine with everyone.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Be aware of how much you are spending. Your caring counts far more than you know, yet you hold back. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You attract many people, but it would be helpful for them to know what you want. You could be surprised at news from a foreigner or about a trip. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Epic disasters — the anguished cries, the stories of heroism — are the central narratives of our age, both enthralling and horrifying. And our obsession began a century ago, unfolding in just 160 terrifying minutes, on a supposedly unsinkable ship, as more than 1,500 souls slipped into the icy waters of the North Atlantic. And the band played on.

It was the Titanic. And ever since, we’ve been hooked on disasters, in general — but the tale of the great luxury liner, in particular. And the approaching 100th anniversary of the sinking has merely magnified the Titanic’s fascination.

There were catastrophes before that fateful Sunday night in April 1912, but nothing quite captivated the newly wirelessconnected globe’s attention. It was more than news. It was a macabre form of entertainment.

Bigger, deadlier disasters followed, but they all borrowed from the storylines — morality plays, really — established by the Titanic’s sinking: The high-profile investigations ... wall-to-wall news coverage ... issues of blame, technological hubris, ignored warnings and economic fairness — all were themes that played out in the BP oil spill, the space shuttle disasters, Hurricane Katrina, the Exxon Valdez and the recent grounding of the Costa Concordia.

like all great stories,” said James Delgado, director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “The elements in this case of triumph, tragedy, and hubris, of bravery and cowardice, all wrapped up in one brief moment. That speaks to people.”

And to this day, The Titanic is big business in

movies, books, songs, poetry, and museum exhibits hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Dozens of tourists have paid tens of thousands of dollars to dive in Russian submersibles to visit the ship’s watery grave and see in the ocean floor “where the Titanic dug in and the ship created this knife-like sharp edge,” Delgado said.

For decades that burial spot was unknown, but the discovery of the Titanic in 1985 brought Titanic back to the world’s attention.

Then a dozen years later, director James Cameron raised the Titanic to an even greater fame with a multi-Academy Award winning movie and follow-up documentaries.

This was, he said, a par-

able that the storyteller in him could not ignore.

“It’s this great sort of metaphorical novel that actually happened,” said “Titanic” director James Cameron.

“You can go and visit the wreck and go and see this monument to human folly.”

The 882-foot long Titanic steamed from Queenstown, Ireland, on Apr. 11 toward New York, carrying more than 2,200 passengers and crew, more than 130,000 pounds of meat and fish, 1,750 pounds of ice cream, 400 asparagus tongs and only 20 of the 32 lifeboats designed to be on board. The ship ignored more than 30 different ice warnings. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, The Titanic hit an iceberg and stalled. At 2:20 a.m., it sank.
