lot of people eating Thanksgiving dinner at LINK might have preferred to be with their families for the holiday.

But for many, because of various life circumstances, that’s not their holiday reality. So they welcomed a

hot turkey dinner with more than 150 other community members instead. “I’m thankful for everybody out here,� said Andy Klebenstein Jr., explaining how hard the volunteers and organizers work to pull off the annual event. “Today’s going to be a lot of work to clean this place up.�

The annual midday Thanksgiving meal is served by volunteers in

the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, or LINK, dining room in the basement of First Christian Church, 1000 Kentucky St. It’s open to anyone, whether they can’t afford Thanksgiving dinner otherwise or just want to be somewhere celebrating with others.

Randall Watson has made his mark on public education in Kansas by going against the tide.

As superintendent of the McPherson school district, he was one of the first to get a waiver from regulations under No Child Left Behind that allowed McPherson to use a different kind of testing system instead of the statemandated assessments used in other school districts.

And earlier this year, he led McPherson to become one of the first two districts to be granted waivers from a host of state laws and regulations governing public Watson schools under the state’s new “Innovative School Districts� program — a program that many State Board of Education members and staff at the Kansas Department of Education opposed.

Because of that, Watson may have seemed like an improbable choice to become the next Kansas Education Commissioner. But that’s who the Kansas State Board of Education has chosen to lead the very agency whose policies and regulations he has so successfully gotten around. “I’m really humbled by the trust the state board has put in me,� Watson said in a telephone interview. “I plan to do what I’ve always Please see SCHOOLS, page 2A

KU business experts say Black Friday’s too big for its own good

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Marketing concepts like scarcity — Limited time only! — and social proof — Everybody’s doing it! — made Black Friday the frenzied shopping phenomenon that it is, consumer experts say.

But with all that popularity, is Black Friday’s bubble about to burst?

From a marketing angle, maybe, experts from Kansas University’s School of Business say. Those tempting dayafter-Thanksgiving sales seem to bleed out more every year.

Noelle Nelson, an assistant professor in marketing, points to the one-uppers and the piggybackers.

“

It’s not going to be this buying frenzy that they’ve had — people are not going to get this sense of urgency.� — Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing “They’re opening earlier and earlier, until earlier became the day before,� she said. “Already it’s losing its potency. It’s not going to be this buying frenzy that they’ve had — people are not going to get this sense of urgency.�

Watson will take over the reins of the Kansas public school system at the beginning of what he sees as a new era in education, one he hopes will put less focus on test scores in reading and math and more focus on the “whole student” and what it takes to become a successful young adult.

“If you look at the transition in Kansas and schooling across the country, prior to the mid-1980s most districts operated entirely under local control,” Watson said. “Kansas started to dabble in mid-’80s with minimum competency tests. By the late ’80s-early ’90s, we transitioned to Quality Performance Education.”

Kansas formally adopted Quality Performance Accreditation, or QPA, in 1992. That was the law that said school districts would be judged and accredited on the basis of student achievement, and it required the state board to adopt curriculum standards in each subject area and to

tegrating with higher education.

While pursuing those lofty goals, however, Watson will also have to deal with a host of more immediate concerns, not the least of which is future funding for public schools.

While a constitutional lawsuit is pending in state court over the adequacy of current funding, the most recent revenue estimates show Kansas facing a $278 million shortfall in the current fiscal year and even bigger shortfalls in the years ahead.

Traditionally, Kansas education commissioners have not gotten directly involved in the legislative process, lobbying lawmakers and the governor for more funding. That job is usually left to the elected members of the state board and other school advocacy groups.

Watson said he doesn’t plan to do anything differently.

“It’s certainly the job of the Legislature to fund public education,” he said. “I can weigh in about where we want to go with education. But it’s true that the state has less money than what was predicted six or eight months ago. There are difficult decisions that will have to be made. But I have confidence they will continue to support K-12 education in the future.”

administer tests in certain core subjects to measure how well schools were performing.

It was part of the same bill that also shifted the bulk of funding for public schools away from local districts and established a state funding mechanism based on a uniform, perpupil formula.

In the early 2000s, Congress took that a step further by enacting No Child Left Behind, a kind of national QPA system that tied access to federal education funding to growth in student achievement.

Although the Obama administration has tried to move away from No Child Left Behind, granting states waivers from its requirements in exchange for adopting other reform measures, that testing system still forms the basis for how schools are held accountable at both the state and federal levels.

Watson said he still believes in accountability based on outcomes, but he wants to see the focus shift.

“The outcomes that we want are a successful young adult, not necessarily reading and math scores,” he said. “Those are just inputs.

The next step is to identify the skill sets that make up a successful adult and then go backwards to map that.”

He said that involves looking beyond just the K-12 school system and in-

Youth roller derby catches on in K.C.

Running with the pilgrims

By Sarah Gish The Kansas City Star

Kansas City, Kan. — When Kylie Glass grows up, she wants to be a veterinarian and a roller derby jammer.

The 11-year-old from Edgerton fell in love with roller derby two years ago, when her parents took her to a Kansas City Roller Warriors bout.

The aggressive sport, where skaters with menacing nicknames race and often collide around an elliptical track, instantly entranced Glass.

She didn’t go home until she had autographs from every skater.

When Kylie turned 10, her mom, Jackie Glass, let her join Junior Warriors, a co-ed roller derby team of about 40 players ranging in age from 10 to 17. The mostly female team is now in its sixth season. It’s coached by members of the Roller Warriors, Kansas City’s all-female flat-track derby league.

Until this fall, the Junior Warriors practiced only during the regular season, which starts in May and ends in August.

In October, they started practicing year-round so they could better prepare for summertime bouts against other teams.

from his home near Ogden.

“I’ve been asking the department heads what they do and what their issues are and what the county deals with.”

Wilson said he joined commissioners and attended the 40th- annual Kansas Association of Counties Conference in Wichita. So far, Wilson said the commission’s interest in a Public Building Commission has come up frequently in his conversations with residents.

“I think a lot of people are opposed to that,” he said. “And I agree with them that we need stronger accountability measures for government spending projects.”

He said he’s also heard a lot from residents about flood insurance worries.

Commissioner Ron Wells, who represents the 3rd District, has a few years on Wilson. Well, more than a few.

The 69-year-old retiree said he was at first nervous about the thought of that much youth in a county commissioner seat — and in some ways he still is — but he’s been impressed by Wilson’s work ethic.

“He started attending meetings even before the general election,” Wells said.

“I think he’s done very well and attended the different seminars at the KAC conference in Wichita, so I think he’s done a very good job of preparing himself.

“Initially when he was elected, I thought at that age there would be a lot of lack of experience, a lot of lack of the knowledge of running a business and things like that, but I talked to the people who voted for him, and they said they felt he might bring a fresh perspective to the county commission.

“I’m still a little reserved on age,” Wells said. “I always think that life experience adds to that, plus if you’ve operated a business, it gives you a little more of an idea about the bottom line and those sort of things.

However, I think Ben’s

done a good job of preparing himself.”

Wilson said he’ll only be taking six credits at K-State this spring and will graduate in May with his degree in music.

And that’s a good thing, too.

Wells, who was born and raised in Riley County and retired after numerous years in the construction business, said one of the first aspects of the job that he underestimated when he began his first term in 2012 was how big the workload can be.

“I was going to run four years before I actually did,” he said. “I saw it was going to be more than I wanted to do, running a business and being a commissioner, so I waited (to run) till after I retired for that reason.

“There’s a lot of hours we put in. There’s a lot of meetings and committees.

We’re on the law board and the county board of health.

There’s a lot of time that goes into it.”

In the preparation Wilson has done getting ready for the county commission, he said he’s aware of the challenges ahead, such as the fact the county’s budget will be $1 million tighter when the mortgage registration fee gradually disappears completely in five years.

“I’ve learned a lot about how the decisions at the state level are restricting counties,” he said.

“But I think we always need to be open with other government entities, especially with the state government and also at the federal level for some things, such as flood insurance.”

Wilson said the advice he’s been given leading up to his swearing-in has been about being open himself. “(Everyone’s) been very helpful and informative,” he said. “One of the big things that’s stuck with me is the advice to listen and get as much input as you can about issues, from a wide variety of people, too. That’s one of most important things in making good decisions.”

Wilson, who is a violin and piano player, among other instruments, plans to continue teaching music lessons after he graduates.

Roller derby has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to movies like 2009’s “Whip It” and a growing number of skater-run leagues. The Roller Warriors, founded 10 years ago, is one of 1,500 roller derby leagues in 40 countries, according to derbyroster.com. Crashes and collisions are part of the sport’s appeal, which is why Junior Warriors are required to have health insurance and provide their own protective gear: Helmets, elbow pads, wrist guards, knee pads and mouth guards.

Kylie’s mom says she was “a little worried” to let her fifth-grader play roller derby with teenagers. But she figured the sport wasn’t any more dangerous than gymnastics, cheerleading or football.

Kylie quickly learned to block, fall without hurting herself and skate fast. She toughened up, started calling herself Lucille Brawl, and held her

be affected are divided on the question.

“I am totally in favor of switching from KPERS to KP&F,” said Gerald Sheridan, a counselor at Hutchinson Correctional Facility. “The impact to our paychecks is very manageable. The long-term benefits far outweigh any shortterm loss of pay.”

He said the KP&F requires members to contribute 7.15 percent of their salaries but the KPERS’ corrections fund requires only a 6 percent contribution.

Winfield correctional officer Chris Shell disagrees.

“I believe we should get a

“I’m shy,” Kylie says.

But on the track, as Lucille Brawl, she’s more confident: “I’m a different person.”

Junior Warriors coach Tessa Brant, who goes by Anya Neezenbeg on the track, says that through

roller derby, kids and adults find community, embrace individuality and bloom with confidence.

The sport is not for everyone, Brant says, but “for the people who grasp onto it, it becomes their life.”

raise to meet this deduction from our pay,” Shell said. “I know it’s not that much to those that get to make the decisions as to what will occur, as I’m sure they aren’t having to do without. But to a lot of us, that could be the price of a gallon of milk we have to do without.”

The Legislature last year considered transferring correctional officers, supervisors and institutional workers in food service, maintenance, the power plant and prison industries from their own unit into the KP&F division. Correctional employees have been in a distinct group since 1976.

Members of KPERS’ correctional fund have the same benefit as other members but corrections employees can retire at a

younger age — 55 or 60 — with 10 years of service.

The police and firemen’s division has different requirements from KPERS’ in retirement eligibility, vesting, benefit formula and disability benefits.

Rebecca Proctor, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, said moving staff to KP&F would require higher contributions by the employee and employer.

She said the corrections department and its employees aren’t situated to absorb the increase.

“KOSE, as an organization, is in principle supportive of increases to employee pay and benefits,” she said. “However, KOSE believes that basic issues of pay and safety must be addressed simultaneously.”

stand was dim but the rink smelled like buttered popcorn. After plenty of squats and stretches, the Junior Warriors divided into two groups. The beginners group practiced basic skating skills while the intermediate and advanced group paired up and practiced leaning into one another as they slowly rolled around a makeshift track outlined by blue strips of fabric.

“Keep it low, keep it controlled,” yelled coach Laurel Hautala, also known as Madam McBomb. “It’s not about bashing each other — yet.”

The first bash of the evening happened soon afterward — but it was an accident. Grace Reading, a 16-year-old Junior Warrior from Kansas City who goes by Barbie Brutality, tripped over her partner’s skate and went sprawling face-first across the wooden floor.

Reading came up smiling, with a plastic mouthguard concealing her front teeth.

“If you fall and cry, why are you in roller derby?” Reading said after practice.

Guard duty Substandard wages and working conditions are making it hard for Kansas correctional facilities to hire and retain officers.

C

onsidering the problems revealed during recent legislative hearings in Topeka, it’s no surprise that vacancy rates for corrections officers at Kansas prisons are ranging between 10 percent and 20 percent.

Low wages, physical attacks and long hours are making prison guards hard to hire and harder to retain. It’s a dangerous situation that cries out for attention in the upcoming legislative session.

Rebecca Proctor, interim director of the Kansas Association of State Employees, testified recently to the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Pensions, Investments and Benefits. The committee may consider legislation that would standardize pension benefits for Department of Corrections employees, but Proctor said the first priority should be to address wages for correctional officers. Dealing with pensions is fine, she said, but because of low salaries and poor working conditions, most corrections officers leave their jobs long before they would qualify for pension benefits.

For instance, Proctor cited a June 10 incident in which guards at the Lansing Correctional facility were physically attacked by inmates resulting in injuries that included one guard having a chunk of his forehead bitten off. In another incident, a guard at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility was stabbed 13 times with a plastic knife including one wound that punctured his lungs.

In yet another case, Topeka Correctional Facility officers were informed that they would have to work two consecutive shifts (16 hours straight) because there was no staff to relieve them.

And for all their trouble, correctional officers at Kansas institutions receive a starting salary of $13.61 an hour, about $28,000 a year. Is it any wonder there is heavy turnover in these jobs?

Many departing officers likely seek employment in other fields but those who want to continue as corrections officers can move to higher paying jobs at federal prisons, where the starting pay is $39,000 a year, or at many county jails where wages are higher than those paid by the state.

Conversation at the legislative hearing focused on pension benefits and the possibility that prison guards might have to give up some of those benefits in exchange for salary increases. The good news is that legislators acknowledged the need to boost guard salaries, but the pension trade-offs to accomplish that might not be acceptable to employees.

State employees and legislators must work together to resolve this issue. High turnover and a high job vacancy rate compromises the safety and efficiency of the state’s correctional institutions. The low wages currently being paid to officers in these demanding and potentially dangerous jobs are an embarrassment to the state. Even with all the financial demands currently facing the state, this situation demands immediate attention.

No deal better than bad deal in Iran Washington — The Iran nuclear talks defy easy comparison: But think of a labor negotiation where it’s too costly for workers to go on strike or for management to impose a lockout, so the two sides continue without a contract while negotiations proceed. The situation appears stable, but that’s partly because it’s at an impasse.

This collective-bargaining analogy illustrates some dynamics of the nuclear talks between Iran and the West.

Negotiators agreed Monday to extend for seven months

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

Behind the standoff in Vienna is a deeper confrontation in Tehran. Hardliners in Iran argue that the compromises necessary for a deal would undermine the radical Islamic Republic that was born in 1979.” their efforts to reach a comprehensive pact. They’re still far apart on some details, but neither side wants a breakup.

Behind the standoff in Vienna is a deeper confrontation in Tehran. Hard-liners in Iran argue that the compromises necessary for a deal would undermine the radical Islamic Republic that was born in 1979. An agreement would signal that, as a recent cover headline in The Economist enthused (a bit prematurely): “The revolution is over.”

For the West, the stakes are also huge: Agreeing to the concessions Iran wants on enrichment of uranium could open the way for proliferation of similar nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia

and other regional powers, setting off a nuclear arms race that could be catastrophic.

So each side, for different reasons, seems to agree that for now, “no deal is better than a bad deal” — with the proviso that they will keep talking. This no-deal consensus includes Israel and the Arab Gulf States.

When I was in Tehran a year ago, it was obvious that the nuclear issue had become a fundamental political and economic crossroads for Iran. Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister and chief negotiator, told me that a final agreement “can change the course of our relations with the West.” But Hossein Shariatmadari, a hard-line ally of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said accepting the West’s terms would mean capitulation for the revolution: “The problem will be solved when one side gives up its identity, only then.”

A year later, despite progress on many of the technical details that would frame an agreement, this split in Tehran still exists — hampering Zarif’s ability to offer concessions the West wants in return for lifting sanctions.

A glimpse of this internal Iranian debate came in the statements following the announcement of the extension. President Hassan Rouhani gave a televised speech

Monday night that seemed designed, at once, to reassure an Iranian public that wants a deal and to lobby the hard-line faction that doesn’t.

“I am certain that we will reach the final accord, if not today, then tomorrow,” said an optimistic-sounding Rouhani. He claimed that “Iran’s logic is one of negotiations and dialogue” and that negotiators “have had some agreements behind the scenes, but putting those on paper, we are still not there yet.”

Contrast Rouhani’s upbeat comments with the stern message Tuesday from Khamenei. “On the nuclear issue, the United States and European colonialist countries gathered and applied their entire efforts to bring the Islamic Republic to its knees, but they could not and they will not.”

This internal Iranian debate may be as important as the nuclear talks themselves.

For it marks an inflection point between Iran’s revolutionary past and its postrevolutionary future. In the often-quoted formulation of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Iran must decide whether it’s a nation or a cause. The “nation” represented by Rouhani wants a pragmatic deal, but Khamenei’s “cause” continues to resist.

What do labor negotiators

Sentencing among top issues

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

In an address to the U.S. Conference of Mayors recently, Bill Clinton predicted that prison sentencing would be a major issue in the next presidential election.

With the 2016 race for the White House well underway, the former president’s prediction is his not-sosubtle way of proposing a timely topic for the national agenda.

Based on the current numbers, his suggestion deserves serious consideration.

The United States has 2.4 million people in jails and prisons, the highest incarceration rate of any nation in the world (easily beating out second and third place Russia and Rwanda). The number has more than quadrupled since 1980 and the annual cost is $74 billion. Of those who are incarcerated, 430,000 have not been convicted but are awaiting trial, 340,000 are in for drug offenses and 59,000 for immigration charges. And, to add further pressure to this overburdened system, another 4.8 million are on probation or on parole.

These statistics point to a broken system that damages both the nation as a whole and millions of individuals. They also provide clear and compelling reasons to broaden the current discussions into a full-blown national debate.

But a quick scan of the environment shows that there are other issues that merit

early discussion and thorough debate.

There are obvious ones. It is impossible to put aside Budig the economy, a shortage of well paying jobs, widespread dissatisfaction with government gridlock and p a r t i s a n - Heaps ship, effective ways to stamp out terrorism, global warming and the lingering matter of immigration reform.

In addition to these, there are other high visibility issues that essentially have been resolved (e.g. national health care, abortion and same-sex marriage) but will continue to generate heated disagreement.

And then there are a series of issues that have escaped widespread attention but are critical to our future. Two examples follow.

Infrastructure: Our everyday lives and future depends on a strong physical infrastructure such as roads, airports, school buildings, dams, energy plants and mass transportation. Unfortunately, there have been radical cuts in our spending in these essential areas. Public spending on construction

is at its lowest point in some 20 years. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives our overall infrastructure a grade of D-plus. And the World Economic Forum ranks our infrastructure as 14th in the world.

Education: The U.S. Department of Education tells us that only 26 percent of the nation’s high school seniors are proficient or better in math; only 38 percent are proficient or better in reading; and less than 40 percent are academically prepared for college.

Presidents of the United States may be the single most powerful people in the world but they are not omnipotent. They are subject to outside events, often sudden and often unexpected. And every change they initiate is complicated and time consuming. Like the rest of us, they need to focus on those few issues they believe are most important to the nation and the world.

Bill Clinton has made a legitimate point when he talks about reforming our prison system. But other responsible leaders from both political parties must join the conversation and lengthen the list. That will allow the electorate to select among the many competing priorities.

— Gene Budig is past president/ chancellor of Illinois State University, West Virginia University, and Kansas University and of Major League Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a former vice president of the College Board in New York City.

do when they reach such an impasse? One classic technique is to stress the areas of agreement that have been reached.

That’s just what Secretary of State John Kerry did Monday. He said “new ideas surfaced” in the final days of negotiation that could resolve the hardest issues. U.S. negotiators are said to be working on the pieces of a deal — the number of Iranian centrifuges, the size of their stockpile, the agreement’s duration, the framework for future modernization, the verification procedures — to reduce Iranian concerns while ensuring that even if they decided to cheat on the agreement, it would take them a year to build a bomb.

In labor bargaining, it’s economic pressure that often compels agreement. This variable seems to be working in the West’s favor. Sanctions remain in place; oil prices are low; Iranian revenues are squeezed when it’s fighting proxy wars in Iraq and Syria.

If economic pressure were all that mattered, Iran would make a deal.

But as Khamenei famously said: “I am not a diplomat.

I am a revolutionary.” That logic can lead people to walk away from agreements, even ones in their rational interest.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 28, 1914: years “The Universiago ty of Kansas may IN 1914 change its entire schedule and run throughout the year. Chancellor Strong today conferred with the heads of sixteen different departments on the advisability of adopting the ‘year round’ system and half of them favored the plan outright, the other half being in favor of developing the system slowly and first enlarging the summer session to 12 weeks and retaining the two semester idea. There is little doubt but that the year round system of school will eventually be adopted. The universities of Chicago and Indiana are now following out that plan and meeting with great success…. Under this plan, the year would be divided into four college semesters, each of equal duration. Degrees will be conferred at any time upon completion of the required amount of work” “Contracts for the construction and for the plumbing and lighting of the new Country Club house were let last night in the meeting of the board of directors of the Country Club.

The contract for the construction was let to J. T. Constant and the plumbing and lighting to Graeber Brothers. Work on the construction began today. … The new house will be a two story affair built on the bungalow plan. The first floor will be given to the large living room, dining room and kitchen.”

On that downtown street, beneath a lighted “Season’s Greetings” garland, three children used paintbrushes to decorate the plywood covering many storefront windows that was put up to foil potential vandals. One quoted from “The Lorax”

by Dr. Seuss: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.”

“We thought we’d do what we could to make it a little more attractive and then try to bring the kids into it and get them involved in making the businesses appear a little less scary, depressing,” said Leah Bailey, as her 7-year-old son Dennis

climbed a ladder to finish an orange dragon.

Several hours after dark, a few people continued painting, but there was no visible protest activity. National Guard troops occasionally patrolled the area and surrounding neighborhoods in vehicles and on foot.

Since the grand jury’s decision, protests have taken place across the country. Most have been peaceful. But at least 130 demonstrators who refused to disperse during a Los Angeles protest were arrested Wednesday night, while 35 people were detained in Oakland following a march that deteriorated into unrest and vandalism, according to police officials.

The justice, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, has rejected suggestions from some liberals that she should step down and give President Barack Obama a chance to name her successor.

Ginsburg, who leads the court’s liberal wing, has for years been fending off questions about whether she should retire and give a Democratic president a chance to name her successor. In addition to two cancer operations, she was hospitalized after a bad reaction to medicine in 2009 and suffered broken ribs in a fall two years ago.

that mean Black Friday is a total bust?

Doubtful, Nelson and Li said. Partly because now there’s a strong social tool besides marketing in play: tradition.

For many, Black Friday shopping has become a social ritual, Nelson said. Those families and friends aren’t just looking to check gifts off the list or buy things at deep discounts.

“At this point for a lot of people, it’s entertaining,” Nelson said. “It’s about the hunt.”

The concept of scarcity makes consumers feel like they need to move quickly so they don’t miss out, she said. “That creates a sense of urgency.”

Li said overdoing it could eventually water down Black Friday’s effectiveness, though a lot of businesses may not realize that.

“What they’re thinking right now is, ‘How do I get a piece of the action?’” she said. “They’re not thinking long-term.”

Ferguson, Mo. (ap) — Protesters in Ferguson pressed pause Thursday as the city welcomed Thanksgiving, decorating boarded-up storefronts with some Dr. Seuss inspiration and gathering for church services — a stark contrast to previous days of outrage over the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case.

No police officers or Missouri National Guard members stood sentry outside the Ferguson police station, which has been a nexus for protesters since Monday night’s announcement that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who is white, wouldn’t be indicted for fatally shooting the unarmed black 18-year-old

3. DO THE MATH Don’t be fooled into thinking that you’re getting a better deal when it’s simply a new loan with a longer term, warns Timothy Watters, a certified financial planner at Watters Financial Services in Paramus, New Jersey.

4. DETERMINE WHEN YOU WILL BREAK EVEN Even if your refinancing will lower your monthly payment, it will take time to recoup your expenses. So think about how long you plan to stay in your home.

For example, refinancing from a 5.5 percent interest rate to 4 percent would save $180 a month on a $200,000 mortgage. But the To avoid this, tally up how much fees — averaging around $2,500 you’re paying now in principal — mean it would take about 14 and interest and multiply it by the months to break even. number of months left on your loan.

SHOP AROUND Get quotes from several banks and ask that they put their offers in writing, including an estimate for the closing cost and any extras, like loan points.

Some lenders will allow you to roll the refinancing fees into your loan, sparing you upfront costs.

However, this will increase how much you owe — and pay interest on — for the life of your loan.

Ask that the lender provide you with a comparison of the loan costs paid upfront and rolled into the loan.

Extra oomph

Ellis turns it up a notch

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Patience pays off for Self, players

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kissimmee, Fla. — One of Kansas University’s most forceful dunkers thus far this basketball season has been the unlikeliest of candidates: calm, cool, collected, laid-back Perry Ellis.

“He’s a silent killer. He doesn’t talk, but he can go up and get a bucket,” KU freshman forward Cliff Alexander said Thursday after watching the 6-foot-8 Ellis score a team-leading UP NEXT 17 points in the Jay- Who: Kansas hawks’ 76-60 (3-1) vs. Tenfirst-round nessee (2-1) O r l a n d o When: 11 Tournament a.m. today victory over Where: KisRhode Is- simmee, Fla. land in HP Field House. TV: ESPN “I didn’t (WOW! chs. know he 33, 233)

could get up like that. He kind of surprised me,” Alexander added, referring to Ellis’ onehanded putback jam of a Frank Mason miss with 6:30 left in the first half, with KU up 31-11.

Ellis also flushed a violent two-handed stuff off a pass from Devonté Graham (10 points, one assist, no turnovers) for KU’s final points of the tourney opener.

“I mean, I’m trying to do the best I can to be aggressive. It’s just happening that way,” Ellis said of dunking with more force than he did his sophomore season. “I just try to keep attacking.

That’s what coach is constantly telling me to do.”

Ellis’ 11 first-half points off 3-of-6 shooting helped KU blaze to a 43-25 halftime lead.

Foul problems limited him to just seven minutes the second half, in which KU actually was outscored 35-33.

Ellis said media members at the Orlando Classic aren’t the only ones who’ve noticed his extra oomph on dunks.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD PERRY ELLIS DELIVERS A PUT-BACK DUNK over Rhode Island forward Jarelle Reischel (2) during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 76-60 victory on Thursday in Kissimmee, Florida.

Kissimmee, Fla. — Perry Ellis played with the mentality of a go-to scorer and lent strong help defense.

Wayne Selden did a little bit of everything and did it all well. Frank Mason and Devonté Graham played mistake-free basketball at the point. Landen Lucas played with maturity, putting his big body where it needed to go to thwart defensive opportunities.

It all added up to Kansas University putting a 7660 beat-down MORE on Rhode PIX Island in an opening-round n For more Orlando Clas- photos, sic game at HP visit www. kusports.

Field House. com/KU So many strong efforts bball112714 to discuss, yet the messageboard mentality of “I want the world, and I want it now” forever lurks and occasionally finds its way into KU coach Bill Self’s world.

Way back when, before everyone’s patience was cooked in a microwave, evaluations of a young athlete’s ability to play college basketball took place after the player actually played a game or two, or, horror of horrors, 10 or 20 games.

Not now. Now the most talented athletes playing high school basketball face each other in the summer, and once a decade or so, players actually get back on defense, and a possession ends in something other than a break-away dunk.

KU FOOTBALL

Linebacker Heeney a Wildcat? ‘Glad I’m not’

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In some alternate reality, Ben Heeney could be the face of another team’s defense.

Back in his high school days, before he chose Kansas University, before he became a tackling machine, before someone decided to give him a superhuman alter ego called Captain Heeney, the Hutchinson native was just a teenager mulling an offer to play football for Bill Snyder at Kansas State.

What a different college

experience that could’ve been for the KU senior linebacker, who enters his final game as a Jayhawk — 3 p.m.

Saturday, in Manhattan — going up against the program that first showed interest in him.

Since Heeney chose Heeney the Sunflower State school he grew up cheering for, he has had three head coaches, count-

ing current interim man in charge Clint Bowen, and four years of losing: a 9-38 run from 2011 to now.

In that same time, the Wildcats are 37-12, with trips to three bowls and another coming this winter.

One could empathize with the Big 12’s leading tackler (11.0 per game) and understand if he wonders about that unchosen path from time to time, especially in the final week of his college career, as one member of a band of underdogs in a road rivalry game.

What would Mr. KU Football, Ben Heeney, look like in silver and purple?

“It’d be weird,” Heeney said. “It’d be really weird.

Glad I’m not, that’s for sure.”

Snyder recruited the lifelong Jayhawk first, and, as crazy as it sounds, the now-6-foot, 230-pound middle linebacker seriously considered turning heel and becoming a Wildcat, even though his father, Joe, played baseball at Kansas.

“I was definitely thinking about it. Me and my parents

went over there,” Heeney recalled. “They loved coach Snyder. They loved the coaching staff at K-State.”

It wasn’t just Heeney’s KU ties that kept him from committing. Kansas State wanted him to grayshirt — not join the program until the spring of his freshman year, adding extra time to his five-year NCAA clock.

It’s a tactic Snyder has used successfully at K-State, so it was far from unprecedented or unexpected.

NFL ROUNDUP

Eagles take East showdown SOUTH

AL EAST

HASKELL

The Associated Press

Eagles 33, Cowboys 10 Arlington, Texas — LeSean McCoy is looking more like the NFL rushing champion of a year ago, and Mark Sanchez is getting more comfortable in Philadelphia’s offense.

McCoy ran for 159 yards and a touchdown, Sanchez had his first scoring run in almost three years, and the Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys in a Thanksgiving battle of NFC East coleaders Thursday.

The Eagles (9-3) opened with quick drives of 80 and 88 yards for touchdowns. They took sole possession of the division lead with four games remaining, including a rematch in less than three weeks.

Tony Romo looked ragged in the first quick turnaround for his surgically repaired back as the Cowboys (8-4) lost their third straight home game.

McCoy, who led the NFL with 1,604 yards last season, had his fourth 100-yard game in the past seven after going without one the first five weeks and secured his fourth 1,000-yard season since 2010.

Although his deficit to Dallas’ DeMarco Murray in the rushing race is probably insurmountable, McCoy outgained Murray, who was held under 100 yards for just the second time this season.

McCoy averaged 6.4 yards on 25 carries on the same field where he clinched the rushing title last December while the Eagles beat the Cowboys in a playoffs-or-bust finale.

Murray finished with 73 yards and Dallas’ only touchdown on 20 carries, the last a 6-yard loss when he was dropped by Mychal Kendricks on fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter.

Making his fourth start since Nick Foles was sidelined by a broken collarbone, Sanchez was 9 of 11 for 99 yards in the first quarter. That included a 27-yard scoring pass to Jordan Matthews when Sanchez hit the rookie in stride on a crossing route for a 14-0 lead. Sanchez finished 20 of 29 for 217 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.

The Cowboys looked a little sluggish following a kickoff that came about 90 hours after their dramatic 31-28 victory at the New York Giants on Sunday night.

Murray had room to run at times but couldn’t break one longer than nine yards. Romo had plenty of time to throw most of the day, but one time in the first half tossed a thirddown pass to nobody in particular, giving the ball back to the Eagles when the Cowboys were having trouble stopping them.

Lions 34, Bears 17 Detroit — Calvin Johnson’s big day was exactly what Detroit’s dormant offense needed.

Johnson caught 11 passes for 146 yards with a pair of firsthalf touchdowns, and the Lions boosted their postseason hopes with a victory over Chicago.

After losing at Arizona and New England and falling out of first place in the NFC North, the Lions (8-4) spotted Chicago a 14-3 first-quarter lead before rallying with relative ease.

Johnson had perhaps his best game of the season, and Detroit finally showed a bit of life offensively.

“Guys still believe in what we got going here,” Johnson

said. “We had a good week of practice — it was a very short week, but we were very detailed in what we did on the field, coaches taking care of us.

It’s our part to come out here and do our job on the field.”

Joique Bell ran for two touchdowns for the Lions, and Jay Cutler threw two TD passes for Chicago (5-7). Detroit’s Matthew Stafford went 34 of 45 for 390 yards with the two touchdown passes to Johnson.

Detroit had not scored this many points since a 35-14 win over the New York Giants in the season opener.

The Lions have won back-toback games on Thanksgiving after losing their previous nine.

Seahawks 19, 49ers 3 Santa Clara, Calif. — Richard Sherman set up the only touchdown with another key defensive play in this heated rivalry, then made a second interception with the 49ers driving late, and Seattle ended a five-game losing streak on San Francisco’s home field.

Steven Hauschka kicked four field goals and the Seahawks’ stout defense held Colin Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree in check as Seattle (8-4) overcame 14 penalties for 105 yards, including an offensive pass interference that negated a touchdown.

Russell Wilson passed for 236 yards and thoroughly outplayed Kaepernick, who had one of his worst performances for the 49ers (7-5).

TCU too tough for Texas, 48-10 Austin, Texas (ap) — Trevone Boykin passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and No. 6 TCU dominated Texas in a 48-10 victory Thursday night that kept alive its hope of pushing into the College Football Playoff.

The win kept the Horned Frogs (10-1, 7-1) in the hunt for their first Big 12 title. The question is whether it was impressive enough to impact the playoff standings, where they sit at No. 5, one spot out of contention for a national championship.

The Horned Frogs had an impressive defensive effort, forcing six turnovers, five by Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes.

Defensive end Terrell Lathan scored the game’s first touchdown on a 40yard fumble return.

TCU made Texas (6-6, 5-4) pay for every mistake. Boykin’s 10-yard scoring run in the fourth came after a muffed punt return. Defensive end Josh Carraway returned an interception for the final touchdown.

URI dares Jayhawks to shoot; they oblige

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kissimmee, Fla. — Rhode Island, coached

by Danny Hurley, came into Thursday’s Orlando Classic game against Kansas University with a game plan based on the Jayhawks’ dismal threepoint shooting in the first three games of the season. The Rams dared them to shoot.

“We felt like if they shot it the way they shot it the first couple of games that we might have a chance to be there late in the game,” Hurley said. “Obviously, the way they shot it in the first half, I think was a little demoralizing because our game plan was to try to make them make perimeter shots.

They made shots in the first half, and that’s what caused the separation.

A couple of those things don’t go down, and it’s a 10-point game at halftime.

Who knows?”

Then again, that wouldn’t have enabled Rhode Island to keep Kansas from executing its defensive game plan.

URI’s 6-foot-5 sophomore guard E.C. Matthews is a big-time talent from Detroit, a player who can score in a variety of ways, most of

those ways starting with a quick first step and a preference for heading left. Wayne Selden defended him well on the perimeter, and when Matthews reached the paint, either Landen Lucas, Perry Ellis, Cliff Alexander or Jamari Traylor was there waiting for him.

“Like coach said, they have NBA length,” Matthews said. “He wanted

us to attack the paint and kick it out, but shots would look good for a minute and then get blocked. It was a lesson learned. I think I’ll be better for it the next couple of games.”

It looked a little like KU guards trying to score on Kentucky’s big men, except that the height disparity wasn’t nearly as great. Matthews scored 20 points, but also had

four turnovers and made just six of 18 field-goal attempts.

At the other hand, KU’s hot first-half shooting (7-of-14 from three) kept growing the Rams’ deficit. Kansas brought a .262 three-point shooting percentage into the game and made eight of 17 threes.

Rhode Island (3-1) had upset then-No. 21 Nebraska earlier this month.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) CHASES DOWN A BALL after stripping it from Rhode Island guard E.C. Matthews, left, during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 76-60 victory Thursday in Kissimmee, Florida.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

like, ‘Wow,’’’ Ellis said, smiling. “It’s kind of funny. I can do it. You’ve just got to put your mind to it.”

KU coach Bill Self, who said the Jayhawks’ second-half struggles Thursday were a byproduct of Ellis having to sit so much, indicated he sees a more aggressive Wichitan this season.

“Without question.

He’s looking to score, looking to put the ball down,” Self said. “He’s so good putting the ball down on the floor for a big guy. I think he’s more aggressive looking to score. He could probably rebound a little better.”

Ellis had five boards on a night KU outrebounded the Rams, 40-31.

Alexander had eight boards in 21 minutes, while Wayne Selden Jr., who had nine assists last game against Rider, had seven boards, four assists, one turnover and 10 points in 37 minutes.

Selden also guarded talented Rhode Island player E.C. Matthews, who missed 12 of 18 shots but scored 20 points.

“He’s a good player.

He wants to get to his left hand. He can shoot the ball at any moment, so it was basically trying to stay solid, pressure him but not pressure him too much,” Selden said.

“I felt I rebounded the ball pretty well today,” Selden, the 6-5 Roxbury, Massachusetts, sophomore, added. “I’ve got to be able to do all those things in games. Where I’m playing at (combo guard/small forward), I’ve got to do multiple things, and I’m trying to the best of my ability.”

The KU bench accounted for 33 points, the starters 43.

KANSAS FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR (31) DEFENDS AGAINST A SHOT from Rhode Island guard E.C. Matthews in the first half.

“I want to see us score,” Self said. “We are a fairly balanced team. These guys will tell you it really shouldn’t matter who is out there. We start five guys.

I’m not sure if that really means much because we could probably start seven or eight guys when guys are playing well. I think we’ll be capable of doing that moving forward.

“We had good balance. Cliff gave us good minutes. Jamari did the second half (Traylor had six points, four boards, 16 minutes). Brannen Greene (six points, two boards, 22 minutes) ...

Devonté was really good off the bench.

“We weren’t near as fluid the second half,” Self added. “I didn’t think it was bad. Sometimes games like that you have to just kind of grind it out. That’s what we did. Plus, when Perry doesn’t play offense in the second half because he’s on the bench, we will not look quite as good. We need him out there.”

The Jayhawks will meet Tennessee (2-1), a 64-57 winner over Santa Clara, at 11 a.m. Central time today in the semifinals.

KANSAS FORWARD CLIFF ALEXANDER GETS A CHEST BUMP from guard Wayne Selden Jr. (1) following a bucket by Alexander during the second half. In back is Kansas forward Jamari Traylor.

Kissimmee, Fla. — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self has said his squads in the past have needed “to go through some stuff” before they could actually become a cohesive team.

A number of players getting stuck on the elevator at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center on Wednesday night just might prove to be the team-bonding ticket during the 2014-15 campaign.

“Oh, man, it was a little scary, like some movie scene. We were stuck in the elevator about 10 minutes,” freshman Devonté Graham said after Thursday’s 76-60 first-round Orlando Classic victory over Rhode Island in HP Field House.

“I was a little nervous.

Nobody was really panicking. It was starting to get a little hot. A little worry came to me,” Graham added, noting eventually “people came and clawed it open for us (on first floor).”

KU freshman center Cliff Alexander set the scene: “It was me, Jamari (Traylor), Evan (Manning), Landen (Lucas), Tyler (Self), Devonté and a couple other guys,” Alexander said. “Some of the guys were panicking a little bit.”

Like whom?

“Jamari,” Alexander said, laughing.

“I guess so,” Alexander added, asked if it proved to be a team-bonding experience. “Everybody was telling each other their favorite colors and stuff.”

Blue, red, yellow.

Now that had to be interesting …

“At the ceremony (before tourney), they talked about you have to take this time away from school and bond with the team,” Graham said. “We tried to figure out what our favorite color was. It was a joke, a good bonding moment I guess.”

NOTEBOOK Sore shoulder Kansas’ Devonté Graham scored 10 points off 2-of-2 shooting (1-for-1 from three, 5-for-6 on free throws) while playing with a pad on his sprained right shoulder blade. He had the shoulder “pulled” in the second half and left the game for several minutes.

“It’s really not that bad anymore,” he said. “It’s when certain things happen it hurts a bit. It got pulled and aggravated a little bit.”

possible and score at will.

That’s what I try to do,” the 6-foot-8 Chicagoan said.

“I’m feeling a lot more comfortable. My game is coming to me. I’m playing like I played in high school.

My game is coming back to me, I feel.”

He was energized with family in Kissimmee.

“My mom, dad, grandmother and four brothers,” Alexander said. “They came to the game, so it was a real blessing.”

Cliff a beast again Cliff Alexander had nine points and eight boards in 21 minutes. He had seven points and four boards the second half.

“I come in and do my job, get every rebound

Food on the holiday The Jayhawks’ players, coaches and some staff and family of players attended Thanksgiving dinner in a banquet room at the Gaylord on Thursday after the game.

This, that Frank Mason III had 12 points, five assists, no turnovers in 30 minutes. ...

The game attracted 3,915 fans in a building that seats 5,000. KU’s large contingent of fans rocked the building with the Rock Chalk chant with 30 seconds left ... KU is 3-1 alltime versus Rhode Island. ... KU started the first and second halves by hitting just one of five shots. KU went 14-of-27 the first half and 9-of-16 the second. ... Fifteen of KU’s first 20 points were three-pointers.

By halftime, KU was 7-for14 from three, the most threes in a half since draining seven against Texas Tech (3/14/13). KU finished 8-for-17 from three.

He’s not seeking the easy way. He prefers the tough climb that in the end makes everybody but those who can’t take it, stronger.

“We’ve got a couple of guys with Kelly and Cliff that are going through it,” Self said. “They are going to be terrific players.

They are not terrific players yet. The whole thing is, you want to do what’s best for your team, first and foremost. Individuals will fall in line, hopefully in line, with what’s best for the team and what’s best for them, too.”

Rewarding a player who hasn’t earned it yet is a good way to lower an athlete’s ceiling in the long run.

“I will tell you this, I’ve got no problems with playing guys are that are playing the best,” Self said. “I do know this, who we play the most now won’t be who we play the most later on.

That’s why guys have got to hang in there and keep grinding.”

Tiger Woods was the most talented golfer of his generation, but he had to learn to grind to fully maximize that talent, and for a stretch, he was the best grinder, too.

Had Tiger’s father, Earl Woods, been one of those fathers who had his son compete against adults before he was ready, Tiger, despite all his talent, never would have developed into a great grinder.

“It’s a big transition from high school and AAU ball, where things aren’t really ball. It’s like, ‘OK, showcase your running and jumping and athletic ability.’ (When do you learn) time, score and momentum?” Self said.

“That’s not part of it in

many cases. It takes a little time for these kids. That’s what they are, kids.”

Then Self opened up the soul of one of the world’s best teachers of basketball and let everyone see how the coronation of teenagers before they have learned to play the game, offends him.

“I get frustrated because NBA people, or whoever, will project somebody based on a pickup game in Vegas,” Self said. “To me, that’s ridiculous. So it places some unfair expectations on some, and it keeps some under the radar.

These guys are going to be seen enough in practice and by all the NBA teams. They’re going to end up where they deserve to be, but they just need to play their way to it. Kelly and Cliff will get a chance to. They just need to hang in there and be patient.”

The voices of so many close to them, so many they never will meet, and so many who for selfish reasons will weasel their way into their worlds, echo between their ears, and the athlete’s challenge becomes turning that cacophony into white noise so that the only voice they hear is the one who controls the playing time. They do that, and their ceilings reach for the sky, along with the cash they one day will stack, provided they don’t rush themselves.

“The whole thing is they can have it all,” Self said. “It’s not how you start a race. It’s how you finish it.”

Just ask the old 800-meter man from Bowling Green who has a ballcap and a gold medal hanging on a coat rack.

Kissimmee, Fla. — Kansas University will meet Tennessee at 11 a.m. today in HP Field House.

The Volunteers (2-1) defeated Santa Clara, 6457, Thursday.

“I watched them today and have seen Donnie’s teams play in the past,” KU coach Bill Self said of coach Donnie Tyndall. “They are very, very quick, quick as any team we’ll play this year. They are not huge. They have interchangeable parts.

They try to force you into turnovers, play a funky zone we haven’t had a chance to practice against.

They’ve got a nice team.”

Armani Moore, a 6-5 junior forward, scored 18 points with six boards in 35 minute against Santa Clara. Josh Richardson, a 6-6 senior guard, had 18 points.

“From watching the game, I saw they have good athletes. They like to get up and down the floor and are aggressive on defense,” KU’s Devonté Graham said.

BIG 12/TOP 25 ROUNDUP

OU tops Butler; Heels rip UCLA The Associated Press

Big 12 Men Oklahoma 59, Butler 46 Paradise Island, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger knows the Soonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense will start to click better as the season goes along.

For now, their defense is more than enough.

Holding Butler to 24 percent shooting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the best by an Oklahoma team in nearly 11 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Sooners earned a berth in the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game by topping the Bulldogs on Thursday afternoon, with Isaiah Cousinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13 points leading a balanced offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awareness defensively was as good as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all year,â&#x20AC;? Kruger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really had five guys working together, which is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do on the defensive end.â&#x20AC;?

Oklahoma (4-1) has held each of its opponents this season under 40 percent shooting. Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-for-59 performance was the worst against an Oklahoma team since Arkansas-Pine Bluff shot 9-for-44 in a 94-24 loss to the Sooners on Dec. 2, 2003.

Jordan Woodard and TaShawn Thomas each scored 10 points for the Sooners, who made their first 11 shots from twopoint range on the way to a quick 30-14 lead.

Oklahoma meets No. 2 Wisconsin in the title game this afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we came here for. That was our goal,â&#x20AC;?

Cousins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re striving for greatness.â&#x20AC;?

Kellen Dunham scored 17 points for Butler (41), which knocked off No. 5 North Carolina in the quarterfinals but went scoreless for an eight-minute second-half stretch against the Sooners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not too concerned about that,â&#x20AC;? Butler interim coach Chris Holtmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our effort is there. We need to probably clean up a few things and we will, but I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played two good teams defensively, and I think Oklahoma has a chance to be outstanding defensively.â&#x20AC;?

Butler missed its first four shots, then had an 0-for-8 drought later in the first half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what awaited the Bulldogs in the second was even worse.

Butler trailed by as many as 17 early but got the first two baskets after halftime to pull within 36-28 on Andrew Chrabasczâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump hook with 17:46 left.

OKLAHOMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JORDAN WOODARD, TOP, BATTLES Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelan Martin for control of the basketball. The Sooners defeated the Bulldogs, 59-46, on Thursday in Paradise Island, Bahamas.

No. 5 N. Carolina 78, No. 22 UCLA 56 Paradise Island, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marcus Paige scored 21 points and handed out five assists, Justin Jackson scored 12 points, and North Carolina had little trouble on the way to beating UCLA in the consolation round of the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Isaiah Hicks and J.P. Tokoto each scored 10 points for the Tar Heels (4-1), who closed the first half on a 32-11 run and put the game absolutely away with a 15-0 second-half run.

Paige had back-to-back three-pointers to get that second run going, as North Carolina turned a nine-point edge into a 6238 lead with 9:12 left.

Norman Powell scored 15 points for UCLA (4-2), which dropped its second straight. Kevon Looney scored 11 points, and Bryce Alford finished with 10 points for the Bruins.

That would be the last real hurrah for the Bulldogs.

After Chrabasczâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basket, Butler would miss its next 13 tries from the floor, including eight misfires from around the rim.

And that was more than enough for the Sooners, who scored 11 straight points to go up 47-28 on Cousinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three-pointer with 9:42 left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make shots,â&#x20AC;? Chrabascz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a couple more shots went in, it could have been a completely different game.â&#x20AC;?

Top 25 No. 2 Wisconsin 68, Georgetown 65 Paradise Island, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sam Dekker scored 17 points, Nigel Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acrobatic tipin with 20 seconds left capped his 15-point day, and Wisconsin needed to rally in the second half to beat Georgetown in the Battle 4 Atlantis semifinals.

The Badgers hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trailed in the second half this season, but found themselves down 53-44 with 11:36 left. A 22-6 run put Wisconsin (5-0) up for good, and the Badgers could finally exhale when Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vauntes Smith-Riveraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-pointer rimmed out as time expired.

Wisconsin will face Oklahoma in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title game. Georgetown, which received 10 points from Joshua Smith, will play Butler in an all-Big East matchup for third place.

Bronson Koenig tied a career best with 14 points for Wisconsin, which survived despite a six-point, 1-for-8 shooting day from standout center Frank Kaminsky.

Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get back to their hotel rooms until around 1 a.m., thanks to the Hoyas needing overtime to beat No. 18 Florida in the quarterfinals.

Less than 15 hours later, they tipped off against the Badgers.

Rest might be overrated: The Hoyas made their first six shots, set-

ting the tone for how their offense was going to work all afternoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least, until the final 10 minutes. Midway through the second half, Georgetown was at 61 percent shooting for the game, but the Hoyas missed eight of their final 10 shots.

Kasey Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 1:26 left â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just the second two-point basket after

halftime for Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put the Gators up 51-47, and they held on from there, despite shooting 34 percent from the field.

Tosin Mehinti and Robert Brown each scored 12 points for UAB (2-4), which led by as many as seven early and was up 47-45 with 3:59 remaining.

Florida then finished the game on an 11-0 run.

The Blazers made nine of their first 23 shots, then made nine of their next 13 during one stretch of the second half. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to help UAB shake free of the Gators.

UAB shot 42 percent, but turned the ball over 16 times and Florida converted those giveaways into 24 points.

Friday, November 28, 2014

Dear Annie: I have had a best friend for nearly 20 years. However, in the past six or seven years, “Gloria” has become very selfabsorbed and selfish.

She refuses to show any reciprocity for favors or kindnesses. She seems to have time only for doctors, workouts and different physical therapies. She threatens to hurt herself if she doesn’t get enough attention.

Gloria says she values my friendship, but I guess it’s only when I am doing her a favor. I have decided that I’ve had enough and will break off all communication with her. Do I owe her an explanation, or should I simply be unavailable when she makes her once-a-month phone call? In the past, I’ve told her how she makes me feel, but she shrugs it off

Annie’s Mailbox

and does nothing. I don’t want to be mean, and I worry that telling her off would only make me feel better. What is the right thing to do? — Soured on Her Friendship Dear Soured: Is Gloria well? If she spends all her time seeing doctors and getting physical therapy, it sounds as though she has medical issues. This, of course, does not excuse her behavior, but it may explain why she is so selfinvolved. Since you are

A different perspective on WWI Can a change in perspective bring understanding? The centennial reflection on World War I continues with the threepart documentary “World War One Through Arab Eyes” (9 p.m., Al Jazeera America).

While sometimes considered a sideshow to the European bloodbath, millions of Arabs participated in the global conflict, from Allied troops conscripted by colonized nations to Ottoman Turks who fought a “holy war” on behalf of Germany.

T h e Gallipoli Campaign offers a prime example of Western myopia. Conventional histories discuss the disastrous 1915 failure of the Allied invasion of Turkey in terms of its effect on British morale, the career of its architect, Winston Churchill, or the thousands of Australian soldiers killed there (recalled in the 1981 film “Gallipoli,” starring Mel Gibson).

But what of its impact on the Turks? One of the heroes of the campaign, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, would see his military career soar. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Ataturk would lead Turkey in the 20th century, creating a modern, adamantly secular state.

The war and the treaties that followed redrew boundaries and set in motion convulsions in the Arab world still being felt to this day.

“World War I Through Arab Eyes” continues on Dec. 5 and concludes Dec. 12.

One of the most memorable TV mothers ever returns to prime time. Roseanne Barr hosts “Momsters: When Moms Go Bad” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Investigation Discovery), a new series featuring nonfiction tales of women who go to extremes for their little darlings, including a Texas mom who eliminated her daughter’s cheerleading competition and a woman who goes on a crime spree to fund her IVF treatments.

Tonight’s other highlights:

Virginia Tech hosts Vir-

ginia in college football action (7 p.m., ESPN).

Lurid doings on a lost highway on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

“Russell Brand: Messiah Complex” (9 p.m., Epix) presents a stand-up routine reflecting on religion, politics and revolutionaries past and present.

BIRTHDAYS Singer Randy Newman is 71.

CBS News correspondent Susan Spencer is 68. Actor Ed Harris is 64. Actor Judd Nelson is 55. Comedian Jon Stewart is 52. Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead is 30.

ready to terminate the friendship anyway, it would do no harm to ask Gloria about her health, and also let her know that her attitude has eroded the relationship.

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “J’’ about a remedy for seasickness. I had a similar experience that may be of interest to your readers.

Years ago, I was a young Air Force officer in navigation school. I was on a training flight when we encountered severe turbulence. Almost immediately, you could see people turning green and starting to get sick. The pilot apologized for the turbulence, saying it would last a while, and if anyone was not feeling well, they should take a piece of newspaper and open their flight suit and stick the newspaper next to

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Nov. 28: This year you might notice a conflict between a friendship and a romance. Whether they are separate or tied together within one relationship, you will need to resolve this issue sooner rather than later. You often get depressed when spending time alone. You might consider doing yoga or some volunteer work. If you are single, you draw many people toward you. If you are attached, you cherish your time with your sweetie.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You easily could feel as if there are too many options on your plate. Tonight: Not to be found.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Others count on your ability to handle hassles and keep the peace. Tonight: Invite friends over for leftovers.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be fielding calls and adapting your plans for a good part of the day. Tonight: Out and about.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Be sensitive to a friend or partner who often offers to help you a lot. Tonight: Read between the lines.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your enthusiasm is hard to dissipate, yet a family mem-

their stomach. Almost immediately, everyone grabbed a newspaper, opened their flight suits and pressed the paper next to their stomachs.

We endured the turbulence for over 30 minutes, and not one person got sick.

Whether it was a psychological ploy by the pilot or a valid solution, it worked. In over 4,000 hours of flying time, I have used this remedy and have never gotten sick. Thought you might want to pass it along. — Dave S. in Plattsmouth, Neb. Dear Dave: We’ve never heard of this, but if it works, we’re all for it. And it should keep printed newspapers in business.

ber still might find a way to rain on your parade. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You seem to have a lot of ground that you need to cover quickly. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s request.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to a loved one who delights in your company. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Work on detaching as much as possible before making any decisions. Tonight: Cut loose with a loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A conversation could open a door to more opportunities. Curb any negativity. Tonight: Lounge around at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be careful with whom you choose to let in close enough to have knowledge of your many assets. Tonight: Meet a pal at a favorite haunt.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll be all smiles in the morning, especially as a loved one can’t seem to get enough of you. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel somewhat unresponsive in the morning. Take a nap. Tonight: Be a social butterfly.
