Investigators believe Harold Sasko was unconscious when Sarah B. Gonzales McLinn killed him with an “edged instrument,” authorities said Monday during a news conference announcing charges against the Lawrence 19-year-old.

McLinn is charged in Douglas County District Court with one count of first-degree murder in the death of Sasko, the 52-year-old Lawrence man she was living with. Park rangers found McLinn camping in the Florida Everglades Saturday night and was in federal custody, Monday, awaiting extradition to Kansas.

If McLinn waives extradition, she could arrive in Douglas County as early as this week, District Attorney Charles Branson said. If she fights extradition, it could take months.

Funds may silence orchestra’s trip Wichita (ap) — Wichita State University’s symphony orchestra has been invited to represent Kansas at a musical festival in Europe but may have to forgo the trip because of the cost.

The 2014 American Celebration of Music asked the orchestra to perform in Vienna and Salzburg in Austria, as well as Prague in the Czech Republic. But the trip would cost about $3,500 for each of its 60 student members, said Mark Laycock, director of orchestras and associate music professor at

The installation of traffic signals at the Kansas Highway 10 and Sixth Street/U.S. 40 interchange was completed Friday, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Weather permitting, the traffic signals will be turned to flashing mode this week.

The signals on Sixth will flash yellow, and those on K-10 will flash red. After flashing for 48 hours, the signals will become fully operational.

Bill against surrogacy draws opposition Topeka — Parents, doctors and women who have been surrogate mothers are strongly criticizing a Kansas Senate bill to void existing surrogacy contracts and make it illegal to pay women to serve as surrogates.

Women who have been surrogates testified that it was a positive experience, and parents of children birthed by surrogate mothers said others shouldn’t be denied the same option.

Some members have committed $1,000 of their own funds toward the trip but they still need about $120,000 by the end of this month to make the trip, Laycock told The Wichita Eagle.

No state dollars are available and the college has limited funds, said Rodney Miller, Wichita State’s dean of the College of Fine Arts.

On Sunday, the Doug- ‘why?’” las County District Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for McLinn’s arrest on the murder charge, and police flew to Miami. Khatib said police verified McLinn was uninjured and conducted a preliminary interview, but he declined to elaborate on what that revealed.

Over the weekend, McLinn’s mother, Michelle Gonzales, emailed a statement to the JournalWorld saying police told relatives that if McLinn was involved in Sasko’s death, based on the traumatic injuries he suffered, she could not have acted alone.

“This makes us even more convinced that Sarah is a victim,” Gonzales wrote in the statement dated Friday.

However, Khatib and Branson said Monday that investigators do not think anyone else was involved or that McLinn was the victim of any crime.

Evidence at the scene indicated Sasko was “somehow subdued” and not conscious when he was killed, Khatib said, although investigators don’t know how that occurred. He said police have the “edged instrument” they think was used to kill Sasko but would not say what the object was.

It will be up to the coroner to determine how long Sasko was dead before police found his body and to complete toxicology tests, Khatib said.

At this point, a motive for the killing is unknown, Khatib said.

“We’re still looking at that,” he said, adding that more information should come out in the court process.

Authorities will continue to investigate why McLinn headed for Florida, what path she took to get there and more details about her connection to Sasko.

“Some of those relationships we don’t know yet,” Khatib said. “That’s still part of the investigation.”

Sasko owned three area CiCi’s Pizza franchises, including the Lawrence restaurant, and McLinn previously worked for him in Topeka.

Acquaintances of Sasko have said McLinn moved into his house in 2012. They said she was going through a rough period and that Sasko allowed her to stay there so she could have a stable environment, save money and prepare for college.

Messages to McLinn’s sister and a family spokeswoman weren’t returned Monday.

Kimberly Qualls, a close friend of Sasko’s, said it felt good to have some answers.

“At this point, it’s time for us to all grieve and heal and try to find some peace with it,” Qualls said. “It’s a matter of time and letting this move through the courts.”

Now, Qualls said, she will wait for more information.

“As all of this moves forward, we wait to see what the final story is,” Qualls said. “We want to know the ‘why?’”

To prepare for that possibility, state Rep. Jerry Henry, D-Atchison, called on universities and other postsecondary institutions to provide information to the House Education Budget Committee on what the imHenry pact of more cuts would be.

Topeka — The head of a state-funded business accelerator on Monday said Kansas will soon be recognized worldwide as a place to bring bioscience businesses. “Our mission is for Kansas to become a global destination for bioscience.

That is closer to a reality today than many realize,� said Duane Cantrell, CEO of the Kansas Bioscience Cantrell Authority.

He said Kansas is one of only a few states that has a solid base in three major bioscience areas: human health, animal health and agriculture.

JOYCE DONHAM, OWNER OF WILD TERRITORY, 809 Massachusetts St., made a cardboard cutout of a basketball player Monday adding Einstein’s picture.

Donham said she made the figure because her store is educational and, mixed with Lawrence being a basketball town, she decided to combine the two for a display.

Teachers in the Lawrence school district will soon say goodbye to their old laptop computers, and hello to new wireless mobile devices.

The move is part of a complete transformation of the district’s computer networking environment, a change that eventually will have most students using similar devices in so-called “blended classrooms� to read their course material, SCHOOLS communicate with teachers and even take their exams.

Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent for educational programs and technology, told the Lawrence school board Monday that the district has settled on three different kinds of mobile tablets that teachers can choose from: the Apple MacBook Air; the Dell XPS; and the Microsoft Surface Pro2.

MacBooks will be the default option for elementary teachers because it works well with other mobile devices such as iPads that are currently being used in blended classrooms, Kemble said. Secondary teachers can choose to take a MacBook, Dell XPS or a Microsoft Surface Pro2.

The board voted unanimously to authorize spending up to $600,000 for the MacBooks, at the rate of about $1,175 each. It also authorized spending up to $500,000 to purchase Dell devices through a state contract for about $1,168.

The district hasn’t yet sought a bid from Microsoft for the Surface Pro2 devices, but officials estimate they will cost about $1,000 each.

Obama’s Massive $100M Brain Research Initiative Targets Memory Loss PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Drug-free memory discovery yields ‘shocking’results in clinical trial; restores brainpower equal to those up to 15 years younger, all within 30 days!

PHOENIX, ARIZONA — For readers who fret about their less-than-perfect memory, or worry about steadily worsening mental powers, your life is about to change.

Thanks to President Obama’s massive $100 million B.R.A.I.N. initiative, millions of frustrated Americans who not only lose their car keys, but also forget where they have parked may soon have real, lasting relief.

Science Attacks Memory Loss The multi-year program called Brain Research throughAdvancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, or BRAIN, will as part of its initiative, target the symptoms premature mental decline, including poor memory, the inability to maintain focus and concentration, mental fatigue, and brain fog.

It has been called the “next great American project,â€? drawing comparisons to the wildly successful VFLHQWLĂ€F GLVFRYHU\ LQLWLDWLYH the Human Genome Project.

Over an estimated ten-year period, Brain Research scientists will ‘map’ the human brain in an unprecedented quest to unravel its mysteries.

What’s the Catch?

What President Obama and adPLQLVWUDWLRQ RIÀFLDOV IDLOHG WR WHOO Americans is that, for many, they don’t have to spend $100 million RU ZDLW WHQ SOXV \HDUV IRU D À[ IRU their foggy, forgetful mind.

In fact, evidence of a genuine, clinically tested, real, memory pill is here, now.

Real Memory Pill Exists! $ 86 EDVHG UHVHDUFK ÀUP %UDLQ Research Labs, has developed and conducted successful human testing on a genuine memory pill.

Over a period of a few weeks in a landmark, randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, published in a peer-reviewed journal, scientists observed the formula helping older brains function more youthfully.

‘Pharmacist of the Year,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, recommends a patented, natural memory compound

In many cases, the formula allowed users to match the memory recall speed and brainpower of those up to 15 years younger, all within a 30-day time period.

It’s no secret either. The US 3DWHQW DQG 7UDGHPDUN 2IÀFH KDV granted the drug-free natural formula a United States patent.

Over the years, the sophisticated three-part formulation has gained the trust of medical doctors, a top clinical pharmacist, and is even a recommended component in an updated version of a legendary Medicare-reimbursed brain health protocol.

Preventive Gerontologist, Dr. Arnold Bresky, the man responsible for the Medicare-reimbursed brain tuneup protocol recommends this prescription-free memory compound as an integral part of his new Four Pillars of Brain Health program.

With more than 45 years behind a pharmacist’s counter, and 25 years in a radio show booth, if Dr. Gene Steiner had a nickel for every time someone asked, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,� he would be a rich man today.

A Crystal-Clear Memory

It’s a question he’s heard many times. “This natural memory pill is to an aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs,� he says.

Before prescribing the pill to SDWLHQWV 'U 6WHLQHU GHFLGHG WR Ă€UVW try it himself. “Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear,â€? he says. “I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!â€?

A Pharmacy Best-Seller

“It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.â€? “It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula.â€? “With this simple, drug-free forPXOD ZH Ă€QDOO\ KDYH VRPHWKLQJ that we can recommend that is safe and effective.And you don’t need a prescription either!â€?

Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehensive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence examination, a daunting examination that tests a candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law. “I began taking the natural memory compound for two weeks prior to the test, and I SDVVHG ZLWK Ă \LQJ FRORUV Âľ ´7KH recall I personally experienced was fantastic,â€? says Steiner. “It’s a unique process,â€? he adds, “that pumps the brain full of energizing oxygen, helping improve blood circulation to the brain, while helping to boost key neurotransmitters

in the brain responsible for cognitive functioning.�

Alternative medicine pioneer, and retired medical school professor, Dr. Robert Heller, personally uses and recommends the formula.

Perks Up Tired,Sluggish Brains “It’s not a drug,� smiles Dr. Heller, “it’sanutritionalsupplementthatcan help a foggy, sluggish brain become sharper, quicker, and healthier.�

Head and neck surgeon and psychologist, Paul Nemiroff, PhD, MD, FACS, agrees, adding, “It is truly an amazing breakthrough for memory!�

Kasey L.* from Olathe, Kansas says, “I was having trouble Ă€QGLQJ ZRUGV LQ P\ EUDLQ DQG remembering things. Now I am as sharp as a tack and I have a memory like an elephant. I will never stop taking it.â€?

Many are asking the question, does the government’s $100 million scientific discovery initiative ignore the existence of a patented memory restorer?

Grace K.* of Alabama was in the same boat. “I was having concentration SUREOHPV DQG GLIĂ€FXOW\ UHPHPEHUing things. After only one week, I felt mentally energized and more FRQĂ€GHQW LQ P\VHOI 1RZ , HQMR\ UHDGLQJ DJDLQ ,¡YH UHJDLQHG FRQĂ€dence in myself!â€?

Crossword puzzle fanatic, Bobby D.* from western Nevada can’t say enough about his super-fast mental abilities.

On April 11, 2013, President Barack Obama announced a ten-year, $100 million brain research project.

“Working four crossword puzzles in the morning paper, quicker, has amazed me with the answers just popping into my head! I stand outside myself and wonder where those answers come from!�

Anyone who has ever stood in front of a crowd and then, forgot what they were about to say, knows the horror of “drawing a blank.�

Professional speaker Sylvia.

$380K problem gambling effort begins

Wichita — A man accused of trying to carry out a suicide bomb attack for al-Qaida at the Kansas airport where he worked was awarded a medal and several commendations as a Marine in the 1970s and early ‘80s and left the military in good standing.

Military records obtained last week by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act show Terry L. Loewen earned the National Defense Service Medal, which typically is awarded for honorable military service during a designated combat time, such as the wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and everything since 9/11, according to the Department of Defense. Loewen’s time in the military coincided briefly with the Vietnam War. He also received the Marine Corps Reserve Medal, Marksman Badge and Citizen Soldier Award.

Topeka — A Kansas agency is collaborating with other groups to launch a $380,000 problem gambling campaign aimed at raising public awareness and helping addicts receive treatment.

The program announced Monday is called “Know Your Limits� and is using television, radio and social media sites to spread the word statewide.

Shawn Sullivan, head of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said the campaign was part of $1.3 million the state was spending on problem gambling issues.

Sullivan said the agency’s research indicates that most problem gamblers also suffer from other addictions, such as alcohol, drugs or tobacco use. info LIBERTY HALLForcallaccessibility (785) 749-1972 644 MASS STREET

Kemble said devices will also have to be made available so substitute teachers can check them out when they are given an assignment. For contracted teachers, though, the devices qualify as a taxable benefit, although the district will pay a stipend to teachers to cover the additional taxes, estimated at about $5 a month.

Cantrell urged members of the House Appropriations Committee to fully fund the KBA over the next three years: a total of $105 million.

Created in 2004, the KBA in recent years has been plagued with turnover and questions about its operations.

Cantrell was hired 15 months ago as CEO and said he has changed the mission of the KBA, placing more emphasis on getting returns from investments.

Cantrell said the agency has taken back $57 million in commitments to organization that have not met their development goals.

Eventually the district expects all students to use some kind of wireless mobile device to log into the network and access online materials for courses. For them, though, the district has adopted a “bring your own device,� or BYOD policy, although it will likely spend some money buying devices for students who cannot provide their own.

Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, and several other legislators said they were impressed with the direction in which Cantrell was taking the KBA. State Rep. Mark Kahrs, R-Wichita, asked Cantrell how many bioscience jobs in Kansas had been created in the past 10 years.

Cantrell said he didn’t know, adding that he has been unable to get the number of jobs in the base year of 2003.

Kahrs said, “You inherited a disaster,� adding that creation of the KBA was “a bad idea in my opinion.�

State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said she disagreed with Kahrs.

She said she believed that in past years the KBA was torn in a lot of different directions.

BRIEFLY 2 men face sentencing in beef heist case

L awrence J ournal -W orld

50 acres of Douglas Co. farmland burn in grass fire

Wichita — A California man who tried to steal a truckload of beef from a southwest Kansas slaughterhouse has been sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Monti Belot sentenced Oganes Nagapetian on Monday for conspiracy to commit interstate shipment fraud.

But the judge gave Tigran Nagapetian a probationary sentence for the less serious crime of hiding a felony for lying to authorities and concealing his brother’s actions.

The brothers are accused of trying to steal nearly $88,000 worth of beef from Tyson Fresh Meats in Holcomb by posing as legitimate freight haulers. Prosecutors say cargo thefts using trucker identities involve a sophisticated scheme, but Oganes Nagapetian is not the brains behind the operation.

Firefighters from seven departments battled a grass fire feeding off high winds Sunday evening in Douglas County that burned about 50 acres, according to Mike Baxter, Eudora Township fire chief.

Baxter said Monday no structures caught fire in the blaze and there were no injuries. Emergency crews were first alerted around 6:40 p.m., Baxter said, and did not finish cleaning up until more than four hours passed.

The cause is believed to be a burn pile at 1932 N. 1500 Road, from which high winds picked up an ember that began the blaze.

Cuts

“

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Elliot Hughes ehughes@ljworld.com

It seems to be a pattern.�

— Rep. Jerry Henry, D-Atchison

higher education budgets by about 3 percent for the current fiscal year and kept it at about that level for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. That cut totaled $13.5 million at Kansas University.

Henry said when GOP legislators are looking for funds to cut from the budget they increasingly look at higher education “It seems to be a pattern,� he said.

In addition, he said that if the Kansas Supreme Court rules in a pending school finance lawsuit that the Legislature must increase funding to public schools, that may put more pressure on higher education funding.

Henry’s comments

came as the Education Budget Committee started looking at proposed changes to the higher education budget for the next fiscal year.

As the 2014 legislative session started, House Speaker Ray Merrick, RStilwell, said he thought universities should cut more administrative expenses.

Meanwhile, in a Senate committee, higher education officials Monday urged legislators to endorse a goal of increasing to 60 percent by 2020 the number of Kansans who have earned a postsecondary certificate, credential or degree.

Flames moved directly south, while wind-swept embers from that blaze also started more burning at the corner of 1900 and 1400 Roads, where it reached and jumped Kansas Highway 10.

Jeff Burey, co-owner of Twin Oaks Golf Course, said he was unaware of any damage to his course.

Baxter said it was only farmland that burned.

The National Weather Service had issued a wind advisory for Douglas County, to last from Sunday into Monday morning. Winds were expected to hold at 30 miles per hour, with gusts reaching as high as 55.

Baxter said the weather, mixed with dry vegetation, made it “extremely diffi-

cult� to control the blaze.

Kansas Highway 10 had to be shut down for up to a half hour, he said.

Another grass fire ignited Monday morning, according to Baxter, although it was unrelated to the 50-acre blaze from Sunday. He said Monday’s fire was a rekindling of a two-acre controlled fire from Sunday, on the 2200 block of 1420 Road.

Only Eudora Township responded to that fire, he said.

Capt. Doug Woods, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, told the Journal-World that responders put out Monday’s grass fire soon after it was reported.

Currently, about 52 percent of Kansans acquire a postsecondary credit.

Kansas Board of Regents President and Chief Executive Officer Andy Tompkins said the 60 percent goal is crucial to the long-term prosperity of the state.

But state Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, said, “That sounds somewhat like an elitist statement.�

Tyson said she knows

many economically successful people who didn’t get a degree.

But Regents Vice Chairman Kenny Wilk said that on average “there is an absolute, direct correlation between education attainment� and earnings.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 1616 asks the Legislature to endorse the goals of the regents’ long-term plan called Foresight 2020.

Double Take

RESOURCES FOR NEW MOMS Lawrence has a plethora of options for mothers who need breastfeeding help.

Here are some of the places new moms who are nursing (and their partners) can go for support:

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kendra Schwartz

Teenage son slow to take the wheel Dear Dr. Wes and Kendra: Most of my 16 1/2-year-old son’s peers couldn’t wait to drive, but he seems to be putting it off eternally. I seem to remember you saying something about this in the past, but I wondered if you had any advice on how to proceed. It seems really difficult to be a functional adult if you can’t drive.

Kendra: While I can understand why you, as a parent, would prefer your son to drive, there are a number of obstacles that may prevent him from doing so. He may have a spatial disability that makes finding his way more difficult. He may fear the responsibility of being behind a wheel. Whatever the problem, forcing an uninterested teenage boy to drive may be more dangerous than the boy having to find other methods of travel.

Many teens are eager to drive because they seek independence and they see having control of their transportation as a necessary step to adulthood. I was thrilled to drive for the first time at age 15, but my older sister, Samantha, still hates being in the driver’s seat.

She and those like her prove their maturity in other ways.

In a town like Lawrence it may be tough to get from Point A to Point B without a personal vehicle, but public transportation in bigger cities is often easier to manage. Even in Lawrence, the T-bus and helpful friends can provide rides to a number of locations in town. However, if your son begins to rely exclusively on you for rides, you must assert that you’re done playing the role of chauffeur.

While driving is not a necessity per say, there are benefits to having a license, especially as a young adult. For example, your son may find himself at a party or in a situation where he feels uncomfortable and the best option is to leave the scene. If he relies on fickle peers, he’ll have no guarantee of a ride home or, at least, not a sober one.

Whether your son opts to take his chances on other drivers or heads to the city where cars aren’t as necessary, it’s entirely possible for him to function in adult life. And for now, at least you won’t be paying the pricey insurance rates for a male teen driver.

Wes: I only started noticing this phenomenon about six or seven years ago, but I run into it a lot now. Sometimes the young person gains confidence with experience driving, just as Please see WHEEL, page 8A

KARI KEARNEY, OF OSKALOOSA, holds her new son, Rex, and visits with Cora Koch, a registered nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, about breastfeeding issues before being released from the hospital last week.

Almost nine out of 10 new Lawrence mothers breastfeed their children, according to local health experts.

NATURAL CHOICE Local programs lead new Lawrence moms to choose breastfeeding 9 out of 10 times

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

Dominic Morrison was a lazy sucker.

While the newborn could latch onto his mother’s breast just fine, he wasn’t able to draw much milk out. So, on the advice of some local lactation consultants, Angela Morrison used formula and a supplemental nursing system to teach her infant son how to get her milk supply moving.

“Now at 4.5 months, he nurses like a champ,” said Morrison, 28, a stay-at-home mom who lives in Lawrence.

But without the initial support, Morrison says, she likely would have given up on breastfeeding. She met with lactation consultants at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. She spoke to breastfeeding counselors in the Women, Infants and Children office at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, where she also at-

Our parents are educated enough to know breastfeeding is the best thing for the baby, so they give it a whirl.”

tended the Breast is Best Social support group, or BIBS. She even first found out about the breastfeeding resources available locally because her husband happened to have an appointment one day next to the Pregnancy Care Center of Lawrence.

Lawrence has an abundance of resources for breastfeeding mothers, part of the reason the community has such a high rate of nursing moms. About nine out of 10 mothers who deliver at Lawrence Memorial Hospi-

tal try to breastfeed, compared with 73 percent statewide (the national average is 76.5 percent). LMH recently became the first hospital in the state to be designated by the High 5 for Mom and Baby program, which encourages practices to improve breastfeeding rates.

“We feel very lucky,” said LuAnn Baumchen, a nurse in the Lawrence Memorial Hospital birthing center. “Our parents are educated enough to know breastfeeding is the best thing for the baby, so they give it a whirl, and we’re here to provide that support along with the other community resources that are available.”

Academy of Pediatrics recommends feeding babies only breast milk for their first six months of life.

Benefits for newborns include a heightened immune system and decreased risk of obesity, asthma and high blood pressure later in life, while pluses for moms include a lower chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer, heart disease and postpartum depression. Advocates also point to the bonding between mothers and infants that breastfeeding creates.

HEALTH NOTES Mental illness course coming to LMH The Douglas County affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness will sponsor an education course in Lawrence in March for families of people with serious mental illnesses.

The first 12-week Family-to-Family course starts March 2 from 3 to 5 p.m. in conference room A on the lower-level of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The class will discuss schizophrenia, mood disorders (bipolar disorder and major depression), panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. It will also cover medications, coping skills (handling crisis and relapse), listening and communication techniques, problem-solving skills, recovery and rehabilitation, and self-care (worry and stress).

The class is designed for parents, siblings, teenagers and adult sons and daughters, partners and significant others who are caregivers of people with severe and persistent mental illness.

Instructors Robin Wood and Anne Owen underwent intensive training for the

to babies, be unable to produce enough milk, or have had a prior breast surgery that affects lactation. Young mothers often have difficulty juggling breastfeeding and school. And some children are, for one reason or another, never able to latch or suck properly.

Even moms who do breastfeed often stop when they go back to work, because they might not have time or a location to pump milk while on the job (the Affordable Care Act, which required insurers to start covering breast pumps and lactation counseling, also says that employers must supply break time and a place for workers to express breast milk).

“I feel like moms are under quite a bit of pressure nowadays: Everyone is telling them they need to do this thing that’s healthy, but they’re not always given the tools to be successful at it,” said Cary Allen, a WIC breastfeeding counselor at the Lawrence-Douglas Health Department. She encourages employers to be flexible in scheduling for nursing moms returning to work.

High 5 for Mom and Baby designation by utilizing the following five practices: sustained skin-toskin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth; no fluids for newborns other than breast milk unless medically necessary; “rooming in” for moms and newborns 24 hours a day; no pacifiers or artificial nipples for nursing infants; and providing new mothers information on breastfeeding assistance available in the community.

Allen: Stick with it.

“It’s not easy, and it does take time and effort.

But for us, it was definitely worth it,” said Allen, 27, a part-time day care worker from Lawrence.

She got help from the lactation consultants at LMH and a local breastfeeding support group after her now 4-month-old son, David, initially had trouble latching.

“Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you should give up.”

Volunteer support Support doesn’t have to come solely from hospitals or other community organizations. Partners and other family members play a big role in helping new moms succeed at breastfeeding, experts say. And lactation educators are often just mothers who struggled with nursing themselves and subsequently had to seek out support.

When Melinda Toumi’s third child was born prematurely and had difficulty feeding, she started attending the local chapter of the La Leche League for help. She later began volunteering for the group and is now an accredited leader for the La Leche League of Lawrence.

“Many of us, when we become parents for the first time, have never seen a baby eat the normal way, so it’s pretty tough to incorporate something into your life that you’ve never seen,” said Toumi, 34, a Lawrence business owner, adding: “Mothers are more informed than ever nowadays, but sometimes they need a little reassurance.”

The moral of the story, says new mom Andrea

consultants and Monday support group) and, two, that she has a job that allows her to pump milk.

“Parenting and being a good mom is more than just breastfeeding — if it doesn’t work, that’s OK,” said Prichard, 32. “A lot of times in our society people feel breastfeeding is best, and the people who give it up are judged, and I don’t think that’s fair to them, either.”

But mothers often quit on breastfeeding for fixable reasons, experts say. They might wrongly think they’re not producing enough milk or just get frustrated with the process.

“You don’t want to tell people it’s going to be hard or impossible,” said Melissa Hoffman, a breastfeeding educator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. “But you do want to give them an impression of the hurdles and how, so often, with the right help, they can work through them.”

Hospital practices have a lot to do with how many moms in a given community successfully breastfeed, said Karen Wambach, an associate professor at the Kansas University School of Nursing. A 2010 study led

by Wambach found that breastfeeding support significantly improved the duration of time in which adolescent mothers in that community nursed.

At Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the birthing center no longer gives out free samples of formula to parents. That means the hospital has had to start providing its own diaper bags, something the formula companies used to give out for free.

The hospital got its

the car keys. Chicago, New York, D.C. and San Francisco come to mind, with their sprawling rail and bus systems used by the general public for commuting. But cities like Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, Denver and even LA just aren’t set up that way. Some, like Kansas City, don’t even have a comprehensive system across the metro.

But that’s not even the most serious concern.

Driving is kind of a metaphor for life. You train to do it well. You interact with others on the road.

You become able to focus on what’s important and solve difficult problems as they arise. So, if your son is resisting driving, I’d be concerned about what else he’s struggling with — maybe excess

anxiety or problems with attention. A diagnosis isn’t as important as figuring out the underlying cause, and that will give you a hint on how to move him through the process.

Kendra is right, there’s more to life than driving, but a lot of doors close without it. Dig further into your son’s concerns and see if there’s not something more to the story.

T

echnically, these are the Terrible Two-anda-halfs. We got a sixmonth grace period before the hurricane hit our house.

And thank the sweet Baby Jesus for that.

The twos are no joke.

My once always sweet little blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl has the ability to mimic Linda Blair in “The Exorcist” at the drop of a sippy cup.

The meltdowns come from every angle.

She will melt down if I ask her to put on her shoes before we leave the house.

She will launch into a fit if there is juice and not milk in her cup. She will freak if her sister touches a certain toy. She will howl if I can’t find the song she wants to hear at that exact moment in time on the radio. And other times, these exact things won’t bother her in the least.

The mature, level-headed me knows that this is all a product of the fact that HJ’s frontal lobe isn’t fully developed and she doesn’t yet know how to react rationally ... etc. The other part of me watches as she hurls her body to the floor in a fit of rage and wonders why God sent a tiny terrorist to my house two and a half years ago.

Seriously, who IS this child? And why is she kind of a jerk?

As quickly as it comes on, the storm will pass and she’ll climb up into my lap and snuggle. My head is spinning and I’m learning patience from places in my soul I did not know existed.

This must be what my husband felt like when I was pregnant. The mood swings, the fits of rage and the passion behind simply telling her it’s time to put on some pants can bring you to drinking at 10 a.m. It’s rough.

For instance, last night we made our bi-weekly trek to the local home improvement store (we’re renovating our kitchen/dining room). HJ was attempting

Larryville Mom

Megan Spreer to scale boxes of tile, piles of carpet and (the straw that broke the camel’s back) shelves of GLASS light fixtures. She was banished to the cart with B. You can imagine the howls that lasted for three aisles. The horrific sounds that my husband and I were desperately trying to shush summoned an employee over to make sure no one was dying.

Obviously a dad or grandpa himself, he pulled a piece of candy from his pocket and it was as if the skies opened up and rained hearts and flowers in the neon lighting section. HJ went back to her adorably precious, smiley self. Bless that man.

Sometimes the tantrums come on so quickly and seemingly unprovoked that I will just sit back and watch in awe. The girl is nothing short of dedicated to her current emotional state. I wish I had the ability to feel that passionately about anything, let alone the amount of chocolate syrup in my milk.

I was lamenting this recently with a friend who had gone through the same types of things with her now-preschooler. She laughed with me and gave me encouragement that I wasn’t scarring her for life in any way.

Then she said: “I have to tell you, though, this is nothin’. Just wait till she turns 3.”

Friends are mean.

Fee fairness Like many other taxes in Kansas, the mortgage tax raises fairness concerns, but simply repealing the tax would be an unfair burden to Kansas counties.

G

roups calling for the repeal of the mortgage tax in Kansas raise some valid arguments about the fairness of the tax. Perhaps those fairness issues should be addressed, but simply repealing the tax without finding a way to replace revenue that county governments across the state currently depend on, is not the right course.

A bill that would eliminate the mortgage fee has been introduced in the Kansas Legislature and is expected to get a hearing soon. The fee, which is equal to $2.60 for each $1,000 borrowed on a home mortgage, has drawn organized opposition from the Kansas Bankers Association and the Kansas Realtors Association, which argue the tax is unfair because it isn’t collected from people who pay cash for real estate or for mortgages from certain government-sponsored lenders.

That’s a valid concern, but it is offset by the concern of county officials who have no way of replacing the mortgage tax revenue except to raise local property taxes. Across the state, county commissioners are registering their opposition to the mortgage tax repeal. In Douglas County, the fee generated about $1.8 million last year and officials estimate a 2-mill rise in property taxes would be needed to replace that money. Similar stories are flowing in from around the state.

It’s worth remembering that those property taxes will be borne by the same people who initially pay the mortgage tax. The one-time tax on a $150,000 mortgage would be $390; in Douglas County the annual property tax increase that would be required to replace that revenue would be about $34.50 on a $150,000 home so homeowners may actually pay more in the long run.

Opponents of the mortgage tax need to look at other options. For instance, maybe adding a fee that buyers who pay cash must pay when they register a deed could produce new revenue that would allow the mortgage tax to be lowered without a loss of revenue to the counties.

The fairness of any tax is an important issue, but county governments already are struggling to replace lost state funding for a number of other services while keeping local property taxes under control.

Unless a way can be found to replace the revenue they would lose in a mortgage tax repeal, state legislators shouldn’t take action that creates an additional financial burden for counties.

Technology can help fight poverty The talk of the day at last week’s World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, was Bill Gates’ audacious forecast that there will be almost no poor countries in the world by 2035.

Was it an outburst of exaggerated optimism by the richest man on earth? Or are there solid grounds to be that upbeat about the future?

In a public letter published shortly before the opening of the Davos gathering, Gates said that the 35 countries that are classified as low-income by the World Bank will emerge from that category over the next two decades.

“The belief that the world is getting worse, that we can’t solve extreme poverty and disease, isn’t just mistaken. It is harmful,” Gates wrote. “By almost any measure, the world is better than it has ever been. In two decades it will be better still.”

But almost simultaneously, Oxfam, a non-governmental coalition of 17 anti-poverty and relief organizations, released a study showing a much grimmer picture.

In its report titled “Working for the Few,” it said that the 85 richest people on earth own as much as the bottom half of the world’s population, or 3.5 billion people. Inequality is rising, and “the extreme levels of wealth concentration occurring today” threaten to exclude hundreds of millions from the benefits of modernity, it said.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Thanks to biometric eye-scanning technologies and other similar techniques, increasingly more governments can now devise tailor-made social policies.”

Likewise, a World Economic Forum survey among its members — some of the world’s richest and most influential people — revealed that inequality ranked No. 2, only after a new economic crisis, in the list of what they see as the biggest global risks of 2014.

So who is right? I posed that question to Marcelo Giugale, the head of the World Bank’s poverty reduction programs in Africa and former head of the bank’s anti-poverty programs in Latin America, who has just released a book titled “Economic Development: What Everyone Needs to Know.”

Giugale told me that, technically, Gates is right.

In GDP per-capita terms,

the percentage of poor has been declining rapidly over the past three decades, since China and India adopted market economies.

“Extreme poverty, or people who earn less than $1.25 a day, will probably disappear in statistically meaningful ways by 2030, sooner than in 2035,” Giugale said. “That should be the easy part.”

But the real question is how meaningful that will be. “If we just lift people from poverty by making them earn $1.26 cents a day, it won’t be a tremendous achievement,” Giugale said.

“We are seeing a huge accumulation of people who are “around” the poverty level, just a bit above the poverty line,” he said. “We call them ‘vulnerable,’ and it looks like we are going to be living in a world with many ‘vulnerable’ people.”

The good news, Giugale argues, is that technology is making wonders to help fight poverty.

For the first time in history, we can identify the poor, and focus on each poor person’s specific needs. Until recently, there were 400 million people in India who in many cases didn’t even have birth certificates, and about 10 percent of the children in Latin America are not properly registered in national databases, he said.

Thanks to biometric eyescanning technologies and other similar techniques, increasingly more governments can now devise tailormade social policies. Instead

of offering subsidized gasoline or free college education for all, as is done in many Latin American countries today, they can pinpoint exactly who needs subsidies, and who can pay. “Individualization is the name of the game,” Giugale said.

My opinion: While some countries are falling behind because of populist leaders who are more interested in accumulating powers than in their people’s well-being, there is no question that the world is better off than before.

The percentage of the world’s population living in extreme poverty is falling — from 43 percent of the population in 1990 to 20 percent today, according to World Bank figures, and we are living longer and better lives.

When people see the glass half-empty, I always remind them what it must have been like to go to the dentist 100 years ago, when they extracted your teeth without anesthesia.

Now, the big challenge will be to put more technology — which today is used mainly for the rich — at the service of the poor.

I’ll get into greater detail about this in future columns. But, for now, it would be great if more countries could follow Giugale’s recommendation and use technologies to individualize the poor instead of subsidizing the rich.

The Lawrence City Commission and the Chelsea Group, developer years of the planned ago riverfront facIN 1989 tory outlet center, were scheduled to meet this week for a study session to discuss design plans for the center. The meeting was to come one week after commissioners criticized a newlyissued design for the facility’s facade and pedestrian promenade.

Work on an Allen Fieldhouse improvement project could begin as years early as May 1974, ago according to Keith IN 1974 Nitcher, KU vice chancellor of business affairs. However, Nitcher said, plans for the work had not yet been drawn up, and after their preparation they still needed approval from the Kansas Board of Regents. Included in the project was resurfacing of the basketball court and track areas.

PUBLIC FORUM

Levee park To the editor: This letter is to the people who walk their dog(s) on the Kansas River levee in North Lawrence.

The levee is a City of Lawrence park, and the same rules apply as any other city park that is not a designated dog park. Dogs must be leashed, and the owners are responsible for picking up their dogs’ waste. Please don’t think that picking up the waste in a plastic bag and then leaving the bag on the levee fulfills your responsibility to comply with the ordinance. I’m not sure who you think will pick up the bag and dispose of it.

I would also like to extend the thanks of our neighborhood and its residents to those who do follow the rules. We appreciate it very much.

Landlord concerns To the editor: As a Lawrence landlord, for 49 years, I am concerned about the proposed rental inspection program. Once the city inspects and controls the apartments, I will no longer be the top decision person of my rentals.

Some concerns I have: 1. What happened? Why does the city think 100 percent of rental property need to be inspected? Why have they labeled all landlords “slum lords”? Why should I be billed for an inspection, when I have had the same tenants rent for over a decade? Does that indicate my rentals need to be inspect-

ed? Why is the city overreacting to limited situations?

2. By whom and when will my tenants be informed that they may contact the city with their concerns about their apartment?

3. Will tenants be required to first contact the landlord regarding any concerns, prior to contacting the city?

4. If the city expects tenants to first contact the landlord regarding concerns, how will that procedure be conveyed to the tenant?

5. If the city chooses to inform all tenants by written word, will it be in an attractive format that will be posted, so as not to deface the woodwork or walls?

6. Will the city’s notice to tenants be clear and understandable, especially the many foreign students who come to Lawrence each year?

7. Why not scrap this proposal, and develop one where and when needed?

These are concerns many landlords have regarding their responsibilities, if required to complying with the City of Lawrence’s pending rental requirements. When will we know answers to these concerns?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 28, 1914: years “Lawrence ago enjoyed another IN 1914 June-like day today. At 2 o’clock this afternoon the thermometer on the hill showed a temperature of 63 degrees above zero –- doesn’t sound just like January weather does it.”

“Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor of the University, brought further charges against the pool halls last night in a talk before the meeting of the Lawrence Merchants Association. That these resorts are contrary to the community interests, that they are degrading to morals and that they are an economic loss are the accusations brought by the Chancellor.... ‘They are undoubtedly a moral disadvantage to the youth of this city and of any city. And it is unfortunate, too, for there is no better game, no cleaner game than billiards, when properly regulated. But there has come to be a conflict between the private interests of the pool hall and the interests of the community and the private interests must give way for the good of the community.’”

— Elena Lukash, justice minister through parliament, setting off clashes and protests in other parts of the country in a sharp escalation of tensions after weeks of mostly peaceful protests over his rejection of a deal to deepen ties with the 28-nation European Union.

Lakhdar Brahimi, the keep records safe United Nations special Washington — The U.S. government is looking at ways to prevent anyone from spying on its own surveillance of Americans’ phone records.

As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of those records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it’s quietly funding research to prevent phone company employees or eavesdroppers from seeing whom the U.S. is spying on, The Associated Press has learned.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has paid at least five research teams across the country to develop a system for high-volume, encrypted searches of electronic records kept outside the government’s possession. The project is among several ideas that would allow the government to discontinue storing Americans’ phone records, but still search them as needed.

a key opposition demand — that Yanukovych resign.

One of the opposition figures, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, turned down the prime minister’s job, which Yanukovych had offered him on Saturday, the statement said.

Eliminating the laws, which is likely to be done in a special parliament session Tuesday, appears to be a serious step back for the government. The session is also expected to include a discussion of government responsibility in the crisis, suggesting a cabinet reshuffle could be imminent.

It was not immediately clear how the announcement would be received.

On Independence Square, there was no immediate reaction from the relatively small crowd gathered in bitter cold near midnight.

Kiev, Ukraine (ap) — Ukraine’s beleaguered president on Monday agreed to scrap harsh anti-protest laws that set off a wave of clashes between protesters and police in the past week, a potentially substantial concession to the opposition that stopped short of meeting all of its demands.

In a possibly major sticking point, a proposed amnesty for arrested protesters would not be offered unless demonstrators stopped occupying buildings and ended their round-the-clock protests and tent camp on Kiev’s central Independence Square, according to a statement by Justice Minister Elena Lukash on the presidential website.

President Viktor Yanukovych has been under increasing pressure since he pushed the tough laws

Brahimi said the government’s proposal to evacuate women and children from the besieged old town also was on hold, due to a discussion of “all sorts of” security problems.

The veteran Algerian negotiator did not mask his disappointment. “The humanitarian discussions haven’t produced much, unfortunately,” he said.

“I am still begging, asking that something be done” about Homs and a half-dozen other towns under siege, including at least two beset by armed opposition forces, he said.

But he summed up: “You know, we never expected miracles.”

— A 16-year-old boy set himself on fire at a suburban Denver high school on Monday in an apparent suicide attempt that left him critically injured, authorities said.

The boy didn’t make any threats before starting the fire in the cafeteria at Standley Lake High School at about 7:15 a.m., Westminster Police Department spokeswoman Cheri Spottke said.

“There is no indication

A custodian was able to use a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze before it could spread, Spottke said.

Several other students were in the cafeteria at the time, but none were injured.

Investigators went through the school with bomb detection dogs as a precaution, and no devices were discovered, Spottke said. Investigators are also talking to students, faculty members and family members to find out what happened, she said.

Vatican Radio decried the “sacrilegious theft” from tiny San Pietro della Ienca church near the Gran Sasso part of the Apennine mountains, where John Paul used to hike and ski.

Carabinieri paramilitary police Col. Andrea Ronchey in nearby L’Aquila told The Associated Press Monday that the relic — a bit of blood-soaked cloth kept inside a painted metal cross — was last seen on Thursday in the church.

John Paul, who died in 2005 and will be made a saint April 27 during a Vatican ceremony, had celebrated Mass in the church.

Top juco football players pick KU

TRACK AND FIELD

Making the leap

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Two of the top-ranked junior-college players in the country announced their major-college commitments on Monday night.

Kansas University’s already deep backfield got a little deeper when DeAndre Mann, the top-ranked junior-college running back in the country according to JCGridiron.com, orally committed to KU Monday evening. A couple of hours later, JayhawkSlant.com broke the news that KU also received an oral commitment from the nation’s No. 2-ranked defensive end, Arizona Western’s Anthony Olobia.

Mann, a 5-foot-10, 205-pound Miami native, chose KU over Georgia State. He drew offers from Miami (Fla.), Purdue and others, and even turned down an invitation to visit the Hurricanes program he grew up watching.

A powerful back who earned first-team All-America honors after rushing for 1,706 yards for Hartnell College during 2013, Mann said the opportunity to be tutored by coaches with NFL ties and test himself in a power conference played big roles in his decision.

Olobia, 6-5, 240, chose Kansas over offers from Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Utah. Olobia made an official visit to Auburn in December and later described the experience as “the perfect visit.” Despite Auburn’s interest, the Rivals.com database shows no offer was ever extended, which helped KU land Olobia.

Mann’s commitment bolsters a KU backfield that already includes returners Brandon Bourbon, Taylor Cox and Darrian Miller, as well as incoming freshman Traevohn Wrench, who is expected to sign his national letter of intent with KU on Feb. 5. Olobia’s commitment gives KU six defensive linemen in the current class, including four defensive ends.

Mann and Olobia become the 22nd and 23rd commitments in KU’s 2014 recruiting class. The Jayhawks can sign up to three more players in the current class but are likely to leave a spot or two open for potential transfers down the road.

Alexa Harmon-Thomas rising star for FSHS, USA

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior Alexa Harmon-Thomas had done everything possible to achieve her childhood dream.

Yet it was up to someone else to make it a reality.

Harmon-Thomas had just placed first in both the heptathlon and high jump at the World Youth Track & Field Trials, last summer at Southern Illinois University. She tried to eat lunch but couldn’t with all of the anticipation.

Each top-two finish made her eligible to represent Team USA at the World Youth Championships in Ukraine, but it was up to a selection committee to pick the final 20 boys and 20 girls based on potential success at the international level.

Four hours after she finished, sitting in a room as the names were announced alphabetically, HarmonThomas finally heard she made the team.

“When they said my name I almost cried, I like jumped up,” said Harmon-Thomas, the only high jumper and heptathlete chosen for the girls national team.

Harmon-Thomas is one of seven children of former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas. The Pro Football Hall of Famer died a few months shy of HarmonThomas’ fourth birthday. At first, she avoided all of the stories about her father before growing more interested as she aged.

“I kind of have to take my cues from her and give her more information as she’s

asking for it or offer it a little bit more based on her reaction,” Alexa’s mother, Kelly Harmon, said. “You know, initially, she didn’t want anything. But I think that’s kind of a normal reaction as a 4-yearold, not understanding death or how to handle that.”

Harmon was a standout in track at Lawrence High. She was coaching when HarmonThomas was young, and it served as her daughter’s introduction to the sport.

Although Harmon-Thomas has always found success against top — and usually much older — competition, she’s also battled injuries and bad luck. At the state meet her sophomore year, she clipped the second-to-last hurdle in the 100-meter hurdle preliminaries and dropped from first place to last.

However, she was able to turn it into a positive.

“I think it definitely helped me,” Harmon-Thomas said.

“Because that was my transition to being more aggressive. That was the race that my mindset changed.”

Afterward, HarmonThomas ramped up her training with Gwen Wentland-Mikinski, a two-time U.S. indoor track champion.

Wentland-Mikinski designs Harmon-Thomas’ workouts everyday, and they train together about twice a week.

“We don’t set a ceiling on what she’s capable of doing,” Wentland-Mikinski said.

“When she sets a (personal record), we look onto the next mark that we think she can achieve.”

Jayhawks tackling tough Big 12 schedule bit by bit

“

(Baylor, Texas and Iowa State) and two of the games are away from home.

That’s a tough stretch.”

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Off to a 6-0 start in Big 12 Conference play for the third straight season and sixth time in the 11-year Bill Self era, Kansas University’s basketball team now moves on to the next portion of the 18-game schedule.

“Our next three games are what we are focusing — Bill Self on KU’s next games on,” Self said of Wednesday’s 8 p.m. home game

against Iowa State, followed

by Saturday’s 3 p.m. contest at Texas and Tuesday’s 6 p.m. battle at Baylor.

“We try to take ‘em one at a time. We (also) break them up into short segments. We’re breaking our next one into a three-game situation because we play three teams — Baylor has been in the top 10, Texas will be ranked (25th) this week and Iowa State has been in the top 10, and two of the games are away

from home. That’s a tough stretch,” Self added.

Wednesday’s game matches No. 6 KU (15-4, 6-0) vs. No. 16 Iowa State (15-3, 3-3). KU beat the Cyclones, 77-70, on Jan. 13 in Ames, Iowa. l Black practices: KU senior reserve power forward Tarik Black continues to recover from an ankle sprain he suffered against Baylor on Jan. 20.

“He is doing OK. He

practiced today, which was probably 50 percent,” Self said Monday on his weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“He did try to go up and down (with contact). It’s the first time he’s done anything since that (BU) game. We didn’t think it would be as slow as it has been for him coming back. It was a pretty bad sprain.

“Sometimes I take for granted he will be back immediately because he’s such a tough kid. He was prob-

ably going to play some in the TCU game (Saturday’s 91-69 victory in Fort Worth, Texas), but he got it bumped, got it hit, at shootaround. You could tell right there that set him back.

There was no reason to play him in the game. I do hope he’s able to go Wednesday.

He’s important. We need to have an agile five-man that can switch ball screens when we have to.”

No. 4 WSU keeps rolling EAST

Florida, SDSU jump to top 5 in men’s poll Arizona and Syracuse are 1-2 in The Associated Press college basketball poll for the eighth consecutive week.

The Wildcats (20-0) are again a runaway No. 1, receiving 63 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel. The Orange (19-0) got the other No. 1 votes.

Florida jumped from sixth to third while Wichita State (21-0), the other undefeated Division I team, moved up one spot to fourth.

San Diego State and Kansas both moved up two places to fifth and sixth. They were followed by Michigan State, which dropped from third, Oklahoma State, Villanova and Michigan. The Wolverines jumped from 21st to 10th after beating Michigan State.

No. 20 Creighton moved back into the rankings after being out for one week. No. 25 Texas moves into the poll for the first time since 2010-11.

The Longhorns have beaten three straight ranked opponents for the first time in school history.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

UConn stays atop AP Top 25 poll Connecticut remains No. 1 in The Associated Press poll after two easy victories while Middle Tennessee makes it first appearance in the poll since 2009.

The Huskies routed both Memphis and South Florida to improve to 21-0 this season. UConn visits Temple and Cincinnati this week where Geno Auriemma will coach against two of his former assistants.

Notre Dame, Duke, Stanford and Louisville followed the Huskies, with the first five teams unchanged in Monday’s vote.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Baylor and Tennessee round out the first 10.

Middle Tennessee entered at No. 25, the Blue Raiders’ first ranking since Nov. 16, 2009. Nebraska fell out.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

UL castoff Behanan lands at CSU Fort Collins, Colo. — Forward Chane Behanan, a key member of Louisville’s national championship squad who was dismissed from the team last month for a violation of university policy, has enrolled at Colorado State and will play for the Rams next season.

Head coach Larry Eustachy made the announcement Monday, saying Behanan will be a key addition to the Colorado State program.

Before being dismissed, Behanan had averaged 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 67 percent from the field in 11 games this season for the Cardinals. Louisville coach Rick Pitino did not specify last month what rule was broken but expressed disappointment that the 6-foot-6 forward had another setback just a month after being reinstated from a 26-day suspension for violating school policy.

PRO FOOTBALL

The Ravens announced the hiring on Monday.

The 52-year-old Kubiak replaces Jim Caldwell, who left to become coach of the Detroit Lions.

Lions’ Bonner LHS, FSHS boys earns D-I offers climb 6A poll

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

As one of the leaders of Lawrence High’s boys basketball team, Anthony Bonner is used to getting attention from opposing defenses. Now he’s also caught the eyes of some Div. I colleges.

Bonner, a 6-foot2 junior guard, received his first scholarship offer, from Colorado Bonner State, before his sophomore year.

Since then, he has picked up an offer from Missouri State, and he’s hoping to add some more schools through the next year.

Bonner went on an unofficial visit to Wichita State on Jan. 18 and watched the fourthranked Shockers beat Indiana State, 68-48.

“It was great. It was real nice there,” Bonner said.

“I’ve also visited Colorado State, Northwestern, Iowa and Missouri State.

It picked up this summer and I’m looking forward to it picking up even more this coming summer.”

Bonner, who averages 16.1 points per game, has teamed up with sophomore Justin Roberts for one of the top backcourt combos in the state. Florida Gulf Coast University watched Bonner play at a Lions home game earlier this month.

“It’s a great feeling to know that I’m on some people’s radar,” Bonner said. “It also motivates me to work harder so I can get on more people’s radars.”

Although Bonner wouldn’t say one school is ahead of the rest, he’s enjoyed meeting players and coaching staffs on his visits.

“I’ve been impressed by all of the schools I’ve visited, impressed with the coaches,” he said. “I like the Colorado State location a lot. That was my first visit, so that was real exciting. It’s been great.”

Bonner said he will probably wait until the beginning of his senior year before making a decision.

He’s looking to find the right fit, including an offensive and defensive system that suits his skill set.

“I think the key word right now is potential,” Lions coach Mike Lewis said. “Everybody who watches him sees what he can be when he’s 20 years old. He’s not only a good junior right now, but they’re also looking at down the road — when he’s in college and settles in their weight room program and what he could be then. That’s why he’s such an intriguing player at the moment.”

Just in his time at LHS, Bonner has shown improvement on the court and this season has taken a bigger role on offense for the Lions (10-2).

“Even from last year to this year, not only physically with his athleticism and the weight he put on, but his confidence and overall skill set is getting better and better,” Lewis said. “He’s shooting the ball better. He’s got better court awareness. He’s still got a long way to go defensively, and he’d probably be the first one to tell you, but he’s been really good for us.”

Both Lawrence High’s and Free State High’s boys basketball teams impressed during tournaments last week and moved up in this week’s coaches poll.

The Lions are ranked No. 3 in Class 6A by the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association.

Last spring, HarmonThomas dominated at the state meet, helping Free State to its first state title.

She won the 100-meter hurdles, matched a state record while winning the 300-meter hurdles, won the long jump and tied for first in the high jump before falling to second because of a tiebreaker.

At the IAAF World Youth Championships in July, Harmon-Thomas finished 10th in the high jump and 16th in the heptathlon. Against other heptathletes across the globe, she finished third in the long jump and sixth in the 100-meter hurdles.

“That was probably the best experience that I ever had,” she said.

Being surrounded by only other athletes in a different country helped Harmon-Thomas focus on track more than she ever had in the past. It also played a factor in her choice to commit to the University of Texas.

“I was really able to grow throughout that process, and it really made me want to go somewhere else and get new experiences because it was just a great experience,” said HarmonThomas, who chose the Longhorns over UCLA, the University of Oregon and Kansas University.

Her mother had to inform the other schools about her choice because Harmon-Thomas found it so difficult to tell coaches she liked that she wanted to go elsewhere.

Harmon-Thomas also chose Texas for its focus on academics. She maintains an A average and is also a National Merit Semifinalist, which is awarded to the top 1 percent of participants in each state based upon Preliminary SAT scores.

“I will tell you I’m more proud of this than anything she has done on the track,” Harmon said.

“I am because that’s a big, big deal. It’s awfully hard.”

Though HarmonThomas is usually relegated to studying while in the car on her way to personal training, it’s part of her personality to make sure she has the best grades.

“It’s definitely my expectation,” HarmonThomas said. “I like to be good at everything I do.

I get frustrated if I’m not doing well in something ... I force myself to be good at it. It really gets at me if I’m not doing well in something.”

Harmon-Thomas cer-

tainly has followed her father’s athletic footsteps. She hopes to set the national high school record in the pentathlon in March and help Free State defend its state title in May. At the state meet last year, the announcer said her name as “Alexa HarmonThomas, the daughter of Derrick Thomas,” which she thought was a nice touch.

“I don’t mind it at all because I think it’s just cool that he was able to accomplish such incredible things, and I don’t think it overshadows what I’m doing,” she said. “I think I’m doing something different; I’m doing my own thing. I don’t need that label, but I think it’s cool that it comes along with it.”

Harmon, who was sitting next to her daughter, grabbed her left shoulder for extra emphasis before speaking to her.

“I think he’d be very proud of you,” she said. “I know he would.”

The Associated Press

No. 23 Oklahoma 88, No. 8 Oklahoma St. 76 Norman, Okla. — Ryan Spangler had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to help Oklahoma defeat Oklahoma State on Monday night.

Jordan Woodard scored 18 points and reserve Tyler Neal added a season-high 15 points for the Sooners (17-4, 6-2 Big 12), who won their fourth straight game and claimed their third win over a ranked conference opponent this season.

Marcus Smart had 22 points, Phil Forte scored 20 points and made all six of his 3-point tries and Markel Brown added 18 points for the Cowboys (16-4, 4-3).

OSU’s Le’Bryan Nash, who scored a career-high 29 points against West Virginia on Saturday, fouled out with eight points in 17 minutes.

It was the first time both teams have entered a “Bedlam” rivalry game ranked since 2005. The rematch is Feb. 15 at Oklahoma State.

The Cowboys committed 29 fouls and were outscored 30-15 at the free throw line.

Oklahoma dominated early as Oklahoma State’s Smart, Nash and Stevie Clark all committed two fouls in the first 12 minutes.

Forte gave the Cowboys some life with two deep 3-pointers in a run that trimmed Oklahoma’s lead to 32-26. The Sooners extended it to 46-36 on a 3-pointer by Neal with 46 seconds left in the first half, and the Sooners led 46-38 at the break.

Neal, a senior who entered the game averaging 5.9 points, scored 10 in the first half. Smart played just 6 minutes in the first half and had six points on 2-for-4 shooting.

Woodard drained a long jumper as the shot clock expired to push Oklahoma’s lead to 53-41,

It did not take long for Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson to pinpoint the difference between victory and defeat during KU’s 12-point loss at Texas on Jan. 15.

“The film that I put together, we watched five and a half minutes — where it’s about a 2:45 stretch in the first half and a three-minute stretch in the second half — where we got outscored by 16 and weren’t able to answer their runs,” Henrickson said.

The Jayhawks (10-10 overall, 3-5 Big 12) will get another crack at the Longhorns (13-6, 4-3) at 7 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.

ings and truly believe they could have won in Austin, Texas, two weeks ago.

“We played really, really well and then the light switch went off and we stunk for a few minutes,” Henrickson said.

“You really can’t do that on the road and you can’t do it in this league. Good teams are going to answer, but we didn’t limit their runs.”

That meeting, in which KU post players Chelsea Gardner (11 points), Jada Brown (10) and Caelynn Manning-Allen (6) led

the Jayhawks’ attack, came before KU’s victory over No. 7 Baylor. It’s been a different story for the Jayhawks since then.

KU is just 1-1 since the Baylor victory, but the one win came Saturday at Kansas State, and the one loss came in the final three minutes against No. 8 Oklahoma State.

“After the Baylor game, we all knew that we could hang with anyone we play,” said Markisha Hawkins, who tallied 10 points in the victory over KSU. “So now we’re all just trying to do everything we can to win. ... I don’t feel any pressure. I actually like what’s going on. We know what we’re capable of.”

Henrickson credits the team’s ever-expanding mental approach for the recent run of success.

“I think we’ve become more consistent,” she said. “We’ve talked about

how we don’t have a lot of room for error, but if you play with good energy NBA and effort and you’re conEASTERN CONFERENCE sistent, there shouldn’t be Atlantic Division

practiced. “He should be fine. I watched it on tape.

I didn’t know it looked bad. It did look bad if you watched it. Basically we were fortunate we got out of that with it only being a slight sprain.” l More on Lucas: KU freshman center Landen Lucas scored a careerhigh seven points and tied a career high with five boards against TCU. “We’re excited to get Tarik back. At the same time I have total confidence Landen can step in

and do the job. He did it very well,” Self said. “The thing I like is he got down on the floor. The first play there’s a loose ball ... he dives for it, gets a jump ball. That may not seem like much. Those plays are contagious. Personally, I thought that was about the best play of the game.” l Wiggins honored: KU freshman Andrew Wiggins on Monday was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for the second time this season.

Wiggins averaged 22.0

points and 6.0 rebounds while shooting 55.0 percent in wins over Baylor and TCU. He hit 19-of-22 (.864) free throws and leads all Big 12 freshmen in scoring at 15.8 points per game.

Wife keeps birth control secret from husband Dear Annie: I’m 46 years old, college educated, with no children.

I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary. It’s not what I would call a good marriage. My husband occasionally has fits of anger and has been verbally abusive.

More than eight years ago, I had a miscarriage. My husband wanted to keep trying.

He repeatedly has said that he can’t imagine a life without children.

I told him that having children is not going to happen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I won’t fight him.

He is welcome to find someone else to have children with. What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscarriage, I started taking birth control pills and continue to do so.

I feel guilty that I

might have misled him in that he may think there is a chance for children, although I would hope that at my age he would be past that. My question is: Should I tell him about the birth control? I’m not sure what it would accomplish. I’m afraid of his reaction to finding out, and divorce terrifies me. — Torn Between What Is Right and What Is Safe Dear Torn: Regardless of what you may

Politics dominate the dial It’s that time of year again; the night President Obama delivers his State of the Union Address (8 p.m., CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, PBS, CNBC, CNN, C-Span, Fox News, MSNBC), covered on a wide swath of the television dial.

Even those not watching the annual rite of government are affected by the proposed policies and agendas. And the television schedule sometimes reflects that fact. Sitting behind the president will be Vice President Joe Biden, acting here as president of the Senate, and House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) who seems certain to remain the “King of the Hill” (7 p.m., Cartoon Network) for another year. Look for the cameras to dwell on the reaction of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) as the president makes his proposals. Given recent poll numbers, these men are not exactly considered a “Fantastic Four” (7:15 p.m., Cinemax) by the American people. While attendance is not compulsory, look for a “Full House” (7 p.m., through 10 p.m., Nickelodeon).

So, what will the president emphasize? Some say it will be income inequality, the difference between “The Haves and the Have Nots” (7 p.m. through 10 p.m., OWN). Relations with Iran will probably be mentioned, not that the “Shahs of Sunset” (8 p.m., Bravo) will have much input.

Ultimately, the president’s agenda comes down to the budget and Congress’ willingness to pass it, a question of “What’s Your Number” (8 p.m. and 10 p.m., FXX).

Look for the president to single out notable Americans in the gallery. Saluting individual “Heroes” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., G4) has been a staple of these speeches since Ronald Reagan’s time in office.

Tonight’s other highlights

But you cannot undo the past, and with your husband’s anger issues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now.

Dear Annie: My husband’s sister chooses not to take turns hosting family get-togethers. She has a beautiful home, but claims she does not have any “social living space.”

She lives next door to her parents, so either they host, or we do it at our home. Her parents even host her children’s birthday parties. She just gets to show up.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Jan. 28: This year you spend more time alone than you ever would have anticipated. If you are single, you will meet more than one person in your daily travels whom you would like to get to know better. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from time away together.

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) When you realize what is going on, you might abruptly head in a different direction. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will be on top of your game if you can incorporate a broader view with a better understanding of others. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation that sounds too good to be true.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A partner will play a strong role in today’s happenings. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Defer to others. You will have little choice, as you clearly want to do something else.

Tonight: Sort through your many offers.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) The unexpected pops in and out of your life. You could be in the midst of some significant alterations. Tonight: Live it up.

having everyone over, and I feel she should reciprocate. However, my husband and in-laws do not see this as a problem.

Am I asking too much?

— Olympia, Wash.

Dear Olympia: You are right that your sister-in-law should reciprocate, but it doesn’t matter. She isn’t going to do it. Your choice is simply which gettogethers you host and which belong to your in-laws. If you remove your sister-in-law from the equation, you will be less resentful. You can cut back on the number of times you do this or ask your sisterin-law to reciprocate by cooking a dish, but you cannot force her to open her home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity will allow greater give-and-take in a volatile situation. Tonight: Be more childlike.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension could build to an unprecedented level. A personal matter needs to be a higher priority. Tonight: Surprises head your way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll head in the right direction regarding a decision you’ve made. Tonight: Have a long-overdue conversation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Understand what is happening financially. Listen to others’ feedback, but avoid taking any risks for now. Tonight: Your treat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In face of a changing situation, your attitude remains steady. Tonight: Beam in whatever you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be ready for a big shock, but in some way, you could be responsible for that reaction. Tonight: Early to bed.
