‘Large disturbance’ led to arrest of athletes

By Caitlin Doornbos

The proposed buyers of west Lawrence’s Alvamar golf and country club plan to keep all 36 holes of golf that currently exist at the complex, but players should expect to see more houses around the courses.

An architect with the proposed buyer, Bliss Sports — the Thomas Fritzel-led group that also was the key private partner in the Rock Chalk Park sports complex — has begun meeting with club members and neighbors of the course.

“I’m telling them there are 36 holes of golf today, and there will be 36 holes of golf tomorrow,” said Paul Werner, a Lawrence architect who is serving as the designer for Bliss. “And if you live on the golf course today, you will live on the golf course tomorrow.”

Former candidate files again for seat

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

An East Lawrence resident who nearly won a seat on the Lawrence City Commission two years ago is back for another run at the commission and another round of debate about tax breaks and other financial incentives handed out by the city.

Leslie Soden, who missed out on winning a seat in the 2013 elections by about 100 votes, became the fourth candidate to file for one of the three at-large seats up for election. She Soden said her campaign will include a lot of talk about changing the city’s economic development strategies.

“For the last four years our economic path has been one where we give big tax breaks to developers and raise taxes on regular people,” Soden said. “That is not sustainable and it has to change.”

Soden, 43, is a smallbusiness owner. She runs Pet Minders, a pet sitting business, and she’s been a Lawrence resident for the last 15 years. She currently serves as a member of the city-county Joint Economic Development Council and is a past president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association.

During her last campaign, Soden was a critic of the process the city was following to build Rock Chalk Park sports complex, which included a no-bid contract for about $12 million worth of infrastructure work.

“I have a track record of having issues with that project,” Soden said. “It may be

Alvamar CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

hasn’t had any serious discussions about eliminating nine or 18 holes of golf at the complex.

Instead, the group has focused on moving some fairways and a few greens to create larger areas around the course to accommodate more residential development.

Several neighbors said they were in wait-andsee mode, but were approaching the potential changes with an open mind.

“We are excited that they are trying to make Alvamar more of a center for golf opportunities,” said Chris Hanna, who lives in the Quail Creek Court area that is adjacent to Alvamar’s public course. “But when it comes to change, it is something you are concerned about. We just hope to hear more and provide input at some point.”

The proposed buyers have not yet filed any plans with Lawrence City Hall to redevelop the areas around the golf course. Werner said he couldn’t yet estimate how many new homes may be added around the course, but he’s telling people to expect a variety of housing types. Those include traditional single-family homes, patio

homes, condos and probably some apartments, as well, he said. One area of the course is designated to accommodate several cabins that could house larger groups of overnight visitors to the course.

The project also envisions demolishing the current public clubhouse — the smaller of the two clubhouses at the property — and replacing it with a large banquet hall that could perhaps accommodate 800 or more, Werner said. Current plans do not show a hotel at the site, but Werner said the development group hasn’t ruled out the possibility. Thomas Fritzel is involved with the ownership of both the Oread and The Eldridge hotels in Lawrence.

The proposed cabins, which would be near the No. 9 green on the public side of the complex, would be designed to attract out-of-town guests.

“I don’t think there is any doubt that the courses can be a great destination,” Werner said.

“Maybe you have a group come in for a KU game, and they stay in one of the cabins for a few days longer to play some golf.”

Werner said the development group wants to add more houses and living units around the courses because it should help increase the number of members at the club.

“More residents out there will make it healthier,” Werner said.

The developers are proposing several areas that could accommodate new development. They include: l The area between the No. 1 and No. 9 fairways on the public side of the complex. The No. 9 green likely would be moved to accommodate some of the additional housing. l The area both east and west of the portion of Crossgate Drive that is north of the clubhouse.

The No. 10 fairways on both the public and private courses would be moved to accommodate the new housing. The driving range area also would be narrowed to accommodate the additional residential development. l An area that is just north of Quail Creek Court. Werner said the developers are contemplating moving the No. 17 green on the public course to make way for more housing.

Neighbors said they’ll want to see more details about how the project would come together, especially as it relates to traffic “I think one of the biggest concerns over her is how they will arrange for people to get in and out of the neighborhood,” said Joan Ogden, who lives near an area of Crossgate that is proposed for residential development.

The project also is expected to have some Kansas University components. Werner said

a stellar success in the future, which we all hope it to be, but there are a lot of issues with that project that we can’t repeat.”

Soden said she also expects the campaign to have significant discussion on how to move forward with a new police headquarters.

Voters in November rejected a proposed sales tax to fund a new $28 million facility.

Soden said she does believe the working conditions of the police department need to improve. She said she wants more information about expansion possibilities at the existing Investigations and Training Center near Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. She said she also wants to have a larger discussion about public safety needs, including restoring funding for the WRAP program—a Bert Nash service—that, according to their website, “is designed to improve child development and learning, increase connectivity to the broader community, and provide resiliency, wellness and mental health support within one of children’s primary natural environments: their school.”

The seats currently held

by Commissioners Mike Dever, Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm are set to expire. Candidates have until noon on Jan. 27 to file for one of the three at-large seats. If seven or more candidates file for a seat on the commission, there will be a primary election on March 3 to narrow the field to six candidates. The general election will be April 7.

discussions are underway with the university to expand the KU golf team’s current practice facility at Alvamar. The plans also show an indoor/outdoor tennis center near the main parking lot for Alvamar. Werner said that could be a joint facility for both members and KU tennis, but he said discussions with the university are still in the early stages.

Werner said he doesn’t have a timeline for when plans will be submitted to city officials for the various land use approvals required for the project.

But he said he expects work to begin in 2015 on portions of the project.

The development currently is completing its due diligence stage of the proposed purchase. Alvamar officials previously have said they expect the purchase to be finalized

by April.

Werner said the development group is not anticipating asking for a large incentives package from the city to move the project forward. He said the group may seek an exemption on paying sales taxes for construction materials, but he said more significant incentives such as tax increment financing or a transportation development district aren’t being considered at this time.

some entered the bar after noticing the officer’s arrival, McKinley said.

Officers saw one person, who was lying motionless on the ground, being kicked in the head by another individual, McKinley said. The individual who allegedly did the kicking was then handcuffed by officers and placed in a patrol car as other officers tended to the victim, McKinley said.

Officers called for an ambulance, but the victim declined to be transported to the hospital, McKinley said. Other victims involved in the disturbance, including The Cave staff, sustained injuries as a result of the incident, McKinley said.

As officers worked to identify other battery victims, witnesses and suspects, “several individuals” interfered with officers’ duties as they tried to question suspects and make arrests, McKinley said. Other individuals also “attempted to incite the crowd,” McKinley said. Police ended up arresting four people.

According to the Douglas County jail booking log, the four arrested at The Cave were Traylor and Coleman, as well as Christopher Larkin, 19, of Chicago, and Kevin Short, 22, of Lawrence. Short is a former KU football player.

McKinley could not say specifically which suspects did what, but the booking log shows Traylor and Larkin were arrested on suspicion of interference with the duties of an officer, Coleman was arrested on suspicion of battery, and Short was arrested of suspicion of failure to appear in court for an unrelated case.

McKinley said the incident remains under investigation.

On Sunday, a KU spokesperson said new Kansas football coach David Beaty was aware of the situation involving Coleman and added that the program was in the process of gathering information and any discipline would be handled internally.

All four men were released from the jail Sunday after posting bail, according to the booking log.

The Cave faces a $2,000 fine and a two-day suspension of its liquor license after the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control division in March cited it for illegally advertising free liquor. The allegations stem from Twitter and Facebook messages posted on The Cave’s account that included a promotion touting “ladies drink free” until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays.

The Cave is scheduled to have a hearing before ABC officials on the matter on Thursday.

When art teacher Darin Fischer quickly left the assembly space at Prairie Park Elementary Monday afternoon just to grab something from the school’s office, he thought it was a bit odd that someone followed him and made sure he wouldn’t be long.

That’s because, unbeknownst to Fischer and most everyone in the room, the assembly had been called for him. Fischer, to his surprise, was named the school district’s 20142015 Lawrence Master Teacher. The award is given every year for outstanding work in the classroom.

“The reason I get up in front of you every day is because I know how awesome you are and you make my job pretty awesome,” Fischer said to his students, after emotions interrupted his acceptance speech. “I’ve had the opportunity over 25 years to

Fischer joined the Lawrence school district in 1995 following five years in the Fort Larned school district. After four years at Lawrence’s Riverside and East Heights elementary schools, Fischer has spent the past 16 years teaching primarily at Prairie Park, while also serving students at New York, Hillcrest and Kennedy elementary schools on a part-time basis.

Disappointment over the Ferguson, Mo., decision morphed into a social media campaign in which Kansas University students voiced opinions that the school is failing people of color.

On Sunday and Monday, a number of students tweeted using the hashtags #rockchalkinvisiblehawk and #racisthawk.

Students criticized the KU administration for not issuing a formal statement

about a grand jury’s decision not to indict a white Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot and killed a black teen. Other tweets said students of color are not recognized or considered on campus, they are treated as numbers rathKANSAS er than individuals and they UNIVERSITY have no safe space on campus other than the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

BRIEFLY Enrollment grows at all 6 state universities Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents reported that enrollment grew slightly at all six state universities this semester.

Only Washburn University, a municipal university in Topeka, saw a decline in enrollment.

The official enrollment numbers for each institution, as of the 20th day of class of the semester, include: l Emporia State University, 6,114, an increase of 81 students, or 1.34 percent. l Fort Hays State University, 13,825, an increase of 384 students,

A 23rd Street pizza restaurant has been allowed to reopen after reaching an agreement with the state about unpaid taxes.

Wheat State Pizza in the Malls Shopping Center at 23rd and Louisiana streets has reopened after previously being closed by the Kansas Department of Revenue due to about $42,000 in unpaid taxes.

A spokeswoman with the Department of Revenue confirmed that Wheat State Pizza had reached “an acceptable payment option with the state� that allowed the restaurant to reopen on Friday.

Falcon was then asked to put her hands out the window, but as the officer attempted to arrest Falcon, “she put the car in gear and sped away,�

Show of loyalty

Interim agreement buys time in Iran

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Clint Bowen’s decision to stay on as an assistant head coach is a tremendous show of loyalty both to his friend, David Beaty, and to Kansas University.

F

or many Kansas Jayhawk fans, the best recommendation for new head football coach David Beaty may be that he is a good friend of this year’s interim coach, Clint Bowen.

After watching him breathe new life into the Kansas University team after taking over at mid-season, many fans hoped Bowen would have a chance to continue as head coach. Fans loved his passion for—and devotion to—the university and players responded his leadership. Bowen made no secret of his desire to continue as head coach and he had to be disappointed not to have that opportunity.

The fact that Bowen was willing to stay at KU and serve on Beaty’s staff was a major endorsement of the new head coach. It’s not surprising that the two announcements were made simultaneously in the news release announcing Beaty’s hiring. “I am very excited to be back at Kansas,” Beaty said in the release. “I am especially excited that Clint Bowen has agreed to stay on as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.”

Bowen’s decision speaks volumes about his loyalty to KU as well as to his friend. Bowen’s willingness to work with Beaty sent an immediate positive message to current players as well as those who were being recruited. For his part, Beaty couldn’t have been more complimentary of Bowen during his welcome-to-KU news conference on Monday. He lauded Bowen for his “tremendous football mind,” and noted that he was in high demand as a defensive coach across the nation. Bowen’s commitment to serve on his staff, Beaty said, was a “key piece” in his decision to come to KU. Beaty seems like the kind of highenergy, hard-working coach who could have a significant impact on the KU program. His passion and commitment to KU may not match that of Bowen right now, but in his news conference, he talked about his love and respect for KU and how much KU fans deserved to have a winning program.

That’s certainly a welcome message, but only time will tell whether KU has ended its recent string of failed coaching choices. Hopefully, the decision to keep Clint Bowen on his staff will be the first of many good decisions and the start of a winning tradition for Beaty at KU.

Some of the world’s leading diplomats, including Secretary of State John F. Kerry, worked right up until their self-imposed deadline of Nov. 24 trying to reach agreement with Iran on limits to that country’s nuclear program.

But when the latest round of talks was over, they couldn’t point to much progress. That is, unless you count Iran’s willingness to continue observing an interim agreement that has traded modest reductions in Tehran’s nuclear stockpile for equally modest reductions in Western economic sanctions.

From the beginning, it had been doubtful whether Iran’s fiercely anti-American leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had any intention of getting to yes. The closest he came to endorsing the talks was last month, when he said he “wasn’t opposed” to them.

And then there was the problem of aligning the two nations’ agendas.

“The two sides are talking past each other,” John Limbert, a former U.S. diplomat in Iran, told me last week.

“The United States is talking about centrifuges; Iran is talking about dignity and respect. It’s like a bad marriage.”

Negotiations are scheduled to resume this month, but diplomats are already beginning to talk about what to do if they break down.

“

Renewing the interim deal isn’t a long-term solution to the nuclear standoff for either side. It won’t give the United States and its allies all the safeguards they want, especially increased inspections of Iran’s facilities. And it won’t give Iran all the relief from economic sanctions it seeks.”

And both sides appear preoccupied with making sure that, if there is a breakdown, the other side gets blamed.

Some members of Congress, led by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, are talking about authorizing increased sanctions even before a breakdown happens.

And in Iran, demonstrators have protested U.S. offers of “colonial-era deals.”

Given the difficulties, it’s time to consider what would happen if we simply went on as we are now, renewing the interim agreement and leaving its modest bargain in place.

That wouldn’t end the nuclear standoff, but it could prevent it from getting worse and spiraling into war.

Under the interim agreement, negotiated a year

ago, Iran has limited its uranium enrichment to a level well below what it would need to make a nuclear bomb, has suspended work on a plutonium reactor and has allowed increased international inspections of its nuclear facilities. In exchange, the United States and its allies have relaxed economic sanctions, giving Iran access to about $7 billion per year of its frozen oil earnings.

“I wouldn’t lose much sleep,” if the interim agreement were renewed, said George Perkovich of the Carnegie Endowment. “The alternatives are either harder or worse.”

Hawks like Menendez will still want to increase sanctions, but there’s a big obstacle to that strategy: Sanctions work only if all of Iran’s major trading partners participate. And that’s not likely to happen unless Iran is clearly at fault for a breakdown.

But they would almost certainly buy in to maintaining the status quo. “The Russians and Chinese prefer to keep the (interim agreement) in place, even if the talks are stalled,” said Gary Samore, a former Obama administration official now at Harvard. Renewing the agreement comes with one more big advantage: Falling oil prices will put more pressure on Iran even without new action from Congress.

Thanks mostly to the sanctions, Iran’s oil revenue

has plummeted from about $95 billion in 2011 to an estimated $50 billion this year.

And now, if the price of oil stabilizes at its current level, Iran’s revenue could fall another $19 billion a year — a loss that dwarfs the $7 billion it’s reaping from sanctions relief.

Renewing the interim deal isn’t a long-term solution to the nuclear standoff for either side. It won’t give the United States and its allies all the safeguards they want, especially increased inspections of Iran’s facilities. And it won’t give Iran all the relief from economic sanctions it seeks.

And the deal could still fall apart. That might happen if the Iranian government restarted a secret nuclear development program, or if hawks in Congress passed tougher sanctions.

But there is one compelling reason to try to extend the agreement. “We’re in the business of trying to buy time,” Samore told the Foreign Relations Committee last week. “We’re in the business of trying to delay the program. … We shouldn’t kid ourselves that there’s a permanent solution to this problem as long as the current government in Iran is in power. Whatever we do is going to be a temporary measure.”

This is a case where half a deal is better than none.

KU lecturer shares academic freedom view

By Art Hall

For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to teaching economics and generating original economic research focused on public policy issues.

Like all scholars nationwide, I have operated under the bedrock principle of academic freedom.

Academic freedom is the unfettered ability to research and teach and a natural extension of rights protected under the First Amendment — without the fear of interference or persecution.

Since 2004, I have had the esteemed privilege of directing the Center for Applied Economics at the Kansas University School of Business. (I also teach economics classes.) The center’s purpose is to offer economic analysis and economic education relevant for policy makers, community leaders, and other Hall interested citizens.

This purpose often involves providing legislative testimony and conducting public policy research on subjects that may be controversial, but are nonetheless important.

A student group at KU that disagreed with testimony I delivered on a specific piece of legislation used the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) to request copies of my private e-mail correspondence for the past 10 years.

This is a misuse of open-records law, a type of misuse that seems to be spreading nationwide. The policy intent of open-records laws is to aid the transparency of government operations and deliberations, not to suppress debate and free academic inquiry.

YOUR TURN The students’ misuse of KORA explains why I recently took legal action against KU; not out of hostility or secrecy, but to take a stand for the principle of academic freedom. While my attorney and I believe that the private records the students asked for are exempt from release under certain provisions of the KORA, KU planned to comply with the students’ request.

My legal action will allow a judge to adjudicate the different interpretations of KU’s legal obligations under the KORA. If my private, personal communications are released, I will not be the only one whose academic freedom is jeopardized. The issue is much larger and could ultimately jeopardize the academic freedom of any scholar at a public institution of higher education.

My views about academic freedom in this matter are consistent with those advocated by the nation’s premier organization for higher education faculty: the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has stated that a crucial component of academic freedom is the ability of faculty to engage with a variety of experts as they pursue their research. With the odd exception of the Kansas chapter (which reportedly provided funding to the student group seeking my private documents), the AAUP has consistently stood by professors and researchers in shielding their private correspondence from over-reaching records requests, acknowledging the threat that this kind of activity poses to academic freedom.

Both the Kansas Board of Regents and the KU Faculty Council strongly

support the principle of academic freedom. In a unanimously passed resolution, the Faculty Council wrote, “academic freedom … is essential to the mission of the university: to educate students and to engage in scholarly inquiry.”

Furthermore, there is an emerging body of legal precedent that allows researchers the latitude they require to correspond broadly with experts with diverse viewpoints without fearing their thoughts will be misconstrued, published and used against them in order to silence them.

The U.S. Supreme Court has written that “scholarship cannot flourish in an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust.” In the 1957 Sweezy v. State of New Hampshire decision, the majority wrote, “merely to summon a witness and compel him, against his will, to disclose the nature of his past expressions and associations is a measure of governmental interference in (academic) matters.”

In this landmark academic freedom case, the court ultimately ruled that “these are rights which are safeguarded by the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment.”

For anyone questioning why I would take legal action against KU, let me be clear. I am taking legal action for my students, for the university, for Kansas, and to preserve the integrity of all forms of academic and scholarly research for my peers.

When I decided to take legal action, I knew it would create controversy and suspicion. But my commitment to academic freedom compelled me to do it.

dents will attend Southwest, including the area north of Sixth Street and west of Queens Road, extending to the district boundary lines. l Quail Run students living north of Harvard Road, south of Sixth Street, east of Prescott Drive extending to Monterrey Way and students north of Bob Billings Parkway, south of Harvard Road, east of Monterrey Way extending to Parkside Road will attend West Middle School.

After over a half-dozen public meetings to gather feedback on proposed boundary changes, the Deerfield-Sunset Hill proposal emerged as the most controversial of the lot.

Originally, the committee that recommends boundary adjustments to the school board, called the Boundary Advisory Committee, wanted to include an area between Schwarz Road, Kasold Drive, Trail Road and Sixth Street in the switch to the Sunset Hill zone. The advisory committee even

doubled-down on that recommendation last week when it met to consider other options after hearing the public’s protest.

Parents from the area disliked the original proposal, saying it would divide a neighborhood and cause walkability issues with busy Sixth Street.

And ultimately, the school board sided with them, despite the fact that it will move fewer students out of Deerfield, a school that officials are certain will continue growing.

Deerfield parents at the meeting seemed satisfied with the move and said it would buy the community time to figure out how to handle enrollment growth for that area in the future. Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations, said that conversation will have to involve whether a brand new elementary school for that part of Lawrence is necessary.

Rapp said in an email.

Peters and his husband, Gary Mohrman, were married in Iowa in July 2010. Peters is director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Kansas University and receives health insurance through the State Employee Health Plan. Mohrman is self-employed and buys coverage through the federal exchange under the Affordable Care Act. Peters said he could get better and more affordable coverage for his husband through the state plan, but the state won’t allow him to add his husband to the family policy because the state does not recognize marriages of same-sex couples.

The two other couples who have joined the suit include Carrie L. Fowler and Sarah C. Braun, of McLouth; and Darci Jo Bohnenblust and Colleen Hickman, of Riley.

The motion seeks temporary injunctions against

Nick Jordan, Kansas secretary of revenue; Lisa Kaspar, director of the Division of Motor Vehicles; and Mike Michaels, director of the State Employee Health Plan.

In October, the ACLU filed suit on behalf of two other Kansas couples, challenging the state’s refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

On Nov. 5, Judge Daniel Crabtree granted a temporary injunction against the district court clerks in Douglas and Sedgwick counties, ordering them to grant such licenses even though the case is still pending.

An appeal of that injunction is pending before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 12 refused to extend a stay of the injunction, and so same-sex couples in those counties have been allowed to get marriage licenses since then.

Women: Learn the signs of heart attacks

Surgery is faster, more comfortable with LMH’s robot

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in America— claiming the lives of one in three women every year.

Every woman should try to learn more about this disease and also discuss her personal risk factors and screenings tests with her health care provider.

Women account for nearly half of all heart attack deaths. According to the American Heart Association, coronary heart disease is the leading killer of women over 25.

Both men and women have heart attacks, but more women who have heart attacks die from them. One reason for this is women are less likely to realize they’re having a heart attack and seek treatment.

Furthermore, the symptoms of a heart attack may be different. Some women will not have the typical symptoms of chest pain radiating down the left Photo courtesy of Intuitive Surgical, Inc., 2014 arm. Signs of heart attack USING THE DA VINCI ROBOT, DOCTORS CAN PERFORM CERTAIN SURGERIES with greater precision, in women include: l Pain or discomfort in which results in shorter recovery times and less pain. Lawrence Memorial Hospital uses its da Vinci robot mainly for routine gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomies. the center of the chest l Pain in other areas of the upper body l Shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

If you feel heart attack symptoms, do not wait to call 911.

Tami Shirey had to remind herself she’d just had surgery.

The property manager from McLouth had a hysterectomy Oct. 29 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and the surgeon used the da Vinci surgical system, essentially a robot that assists in surgery.

The surgery the da Vinci robot was on a Wednesday, she said, and “I would say the first of the following week, I was up and around, feeling wonderful. I even stopped taking the pain medication after two days. There was no need for it.”

Tiffinie Mercado, the surgeon who performed Shirey’s procedure with the da Vinci system, said a reduction in post-surgery pain is one remarkable benefit of the robotic assisted method. The machine’s arms bend and rotate at greater degrees than a human wrist, which makes its movements more precise and takes pressure off the patient’s body.

“The thing I see improved with the robot is actually pain — the pain is less,” Mercado said. “The robot arms move way up and take all that torque off the patient.”

The robotic-assist surgery is still the same surgery as an “open” or traditional procedure, Mercado said. But the robotic procedure uses

Dear Dr. Wes & Kyra: Our daughter is a freshman in an out-of-state college. She recently complained to us that we are “stalking her” by texting her too frequently.

She refuses to call us or keep in contact so we’re reaching out. We’re happy she’s enjoying college, but we feel she owes us a little more information.

Kyra: I’m not in college yet, and I’m not saying my mom is too involved, but she does call and text me enough that my friends all can easily identify her customized ringtone. In the future that could become a real problem.

I don’t know how many

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kyra Haas texts your daughter considers “stalking” but according to research by Barbara Hofer, psychology professor at Middlebury College and author of “The iConnected Par-

ent,” parents communicate with their collegeaged children an average of 13 times a week.

Newer methods of communication — emails, text messages, Skype, etc.— open doors for the parents of Generation Y to live out their helicopter parenting fantasies more fully than ever before.

When your child goes off to college or moves out, all communication needn’t be limited to a monthly phone call or email. However, you must strike a fine balance for these interactions and the form they take.

Don’t let your kids use you as their personal

Google or Wikipedia to look up answers to questions they could answer themselves. Don’t act on their plea for you to talk to a professor for them.

Don’t send them reminders to do their laundry or wear deodorant. If you continue treating them like you did when they were 14, they will throw away their big kid pants and stay dependent well into adulthood.

Wes: Two years ago, a young woman from Overland Park successfully obtained a no-stalking order after her parents demanded she allow them to watch her sleep on Skype, installed spy-

ware on her computer to monitor her whereabouts and went to her school in Ohio to warn that they might need to have her committed to a mental institution. The school testified on this star student’s behalf.

So, by comparison, your daughter has very little to complain about, and I doubt your texting pattern will result in any court action. But that little story has a lesson to teach us all about differentiation.

Differentiation is what family psychologists call the process by which we become physically and emotionally independent Please see COLLEGE, page 2B

Newly insured struggle to find primary care physicians

By Kelli Kennedy Associated Press

When Olivia Papa signed up for a new health plan last year, her insurance company assigned her to a primary care doctor. The relatively healthy 61-year-old didn’t try to see the doctor until last month, when she and her husband both needed authorization to see separate specialists. She called the doctor’s office several times without luck.

“They told me that they were not on the plan, they were never on the plan and they’d been trying to get their name off the plan all year,” Papa said.

The Papas were among the 6.7 million people who gained insurance through the Affordable Care Act last year, flooding a primary care system that is struggling to keep up with demand.

A survey this year by The Physicians Foundation found that 81 percent

A survey this year by The Physicians Foundation found that 81 percent of doctors describe themselves as either over-extended or at full capacity. of doctors describe themselves as either over-extended or at full capacity.

In addition, 44 percent said they planned to cut back on the number of patients they see, retire, work parttime or close their practice to new patients.

At the same time, insurance companies have routinely limited the number of doctors and providers on their plans as a way to cut costs. The result has further restricted some patients’ ability to get appointments quickly.

One purpose of the new health law was connecting patients, many of whom never had insurance before, with primary care doctors to prevent them from landing in the emergency room when they are sicker and their care is more expensive. Yet nearly 1 in 5 Americans lives in a region designated as having a shortage of primary care physicians, and the number of doctors entering the field isn’t expected to keep pace with demand.

The Association of American Medical Colleges projects the shortage will grow to about 66,000 in little more than a decade as fewer residency slots are available and as more medical students choose higher-paying specialty areas.

For now, experts say most patients are receiving the care they need, even if they have to drive farther, wait longer or see a nurse practitioner rather than a doctor.

small incisions to open “ports” in the body.

“We dock the instruments in the robot structure, then move to the console to look through the console to the video of the patient and my hands as they move the instruments in the patient.”

Mercado said the surgery system has built-in safety measures to protect patients, but all in all, the experience is excellent for the surgeon as well as the patient, as her visualization improves when using the system.

“I can bring the camera close. I can see things robotically that I can’t see (in) open (surgery).”

Other benefits for patients include not having a catheter and not having a pain pump for medication. Surgery recipients can usually return to a regular diet more quickly

— Karen Shumate, LMH chief operating officer and can sometimes go home the same day, or at latest, the next morning.

Mercado said the surgery is not for all patients.

At LMH, da Vinci is used mostly for “benign gyn” — non-cancerous gynecological procedures, mostly hysterectomies, Mercado said. But the system is also used in other general surgeries such as myomectomy, which removes benign fibroids in the uterus, and pelvic floor prolapse surgery.

Karen Shumate, chief operating officer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said the hospital has been committed to keeping up with the latest in techniques and technology, both for patient safety and for luring the best surgeons.

“We felt like the da Vinci was something that

was necessary and cutting edge, because that’s where a lot of specific surgery procedures were going, and we felt like to keep up with the cutting edge technology that was something we needed to invest in,” Shumate said.

“It is state of the art for minimally invasive surgeries. Most hospitals our size either have the system or are considering purchase. It’s just becoming very commonplace.”

Shumate said the physicians coming out of school and residencies are often trained in da Vinci technology, and they want to use it. “It has become a recruiting piece of information that they want to know: ‘Am I going to be able to utilize the training that I have?’”

from our parents. Without a doubt, the most important step in that process is going on right now for your daughter — leaving home. Just as Kyra warns, if you don’t help your daughter on that journey, she’ll either rebel against you or let her anxiety (or yours) prevent her from getting her own life.

It may seem trite to you, but, for your daughter, receiving multiple texts a day probably seems intrusive, and, in response, she’s probably less inclined to communicate.

Tell her you’ve “gotten the message,” so to speak, and that you’ll make her a deal: If you agree to text her for only the most important issues (choose wisely), she’ll agree to a 30-minute video chat once a week.

Dear Annie: My husband, “Ricardo,” is a naturally curious man.

He usually asks questions in a charming manner, showing genuine interest in family and friends.

We have a teenage son. Ricardo often asks him probing questions about his girlfriend, which upsets our son. I totally get that Ricardo is interested and concerned for our son, so often I try to smooth the waves and attempt to let Ricardo know that he is being too pushy.

This infuriates Ricardo. He says I am undermining his parental authority. Annie, our son is a fine, outstanding young man. He does well in school, has great friends and participates in meaningful activities.

It’s not as if he is up to something just because he doesn’t want to talk

Annie’s Mailbox

about his girlfriend. He just wants some privacy.

I only intervene in these conversations when I see the tension rising and my son getting frustrated or angry. Ricardo has told me that I should mind my own business and tell him in private what I think and not do it in front of our son. Is he right? It makes me feel that I’m not being supportive of our son. — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You

‘Rudolph’ meets the runway Christmas arrives so early on television (and in stores and shopping centers) and with such furious insistence that I simply don’t pay much attention — until about now.

In fact, my Christmas meter — my innate sense that the holidays are truly breathing down my neck and that I had better at least give some thought to gift buying, card sending and clearing out the attic so I can find old ornaments and lights — is perfectly calibrated to the primetime arrival of “Rudolph the RedN o s e d Reindeer” (7 p.m., CBS).

CBS often waits to air this 1964 classic until two weeks or so from the big day. And to me, that’s about right. ABC tends to burn off “A Charlie Brown Christmas” way too early in the preseason. A special that beloved should be savored till the right minute, not aired while there’s still leftover Thanksgiving cranberry sauce in the fridge.

CBS also continues its curious tradition of airing “Rudolph” on the same night as the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” (9 p.m.). This has never made much sense to me, but annual repetition has turned it into a kind of holiday tradition.

OK, kids, just like Rudolph’s pal Clarisse sings, “There’s Always Tomorrow,” but you had better get to bed right now, so we can watch barely clad models bursting out of their lingerie and underwear!

Oh, I’m feeling more Christmasy already!

Arthur Rankin Jr., a co-creator of “Rudolph” with Jules Bass, died this past Jan. 30.

Tonight’s other highlights

The voices of Fred Astaire and Mickey Rooney animate the 1970 special “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” (7 p.m., ABC).

Spencer’s murder charges dampen the holiday mood on “Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Only Santa can save the gang from an airport meltdown on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

April’s family holds an early Christmas on “Chasing Life” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Will’s lawsuit hangs over the holidays on “About a Boy” (8:30 p.m., NBC).

Mindy wonders if mistletoe might mean marriage on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Dick Van Patten is 86.

Actor John Malkovich is 61.

Singer Donny Osmond is 57.

Rock singer Imogen Heap is 37.

both need a new approach. Grilling a teenager about his social life will backfire every time, and Ricardo should know better.

And when you intervene, even with good reason, Ricardo thinks it makes him the bad guy in front of your son.

Have a private conversation with your husband and tell him that peppering the boy with questions will simply make him clam up and become resentful. It’s easier to get information when you aren’t trying so hard.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Dec. 9: This year you easily could fall into a slump and feel negative. Try not to let your emotions take you to this point. You will be unusually creative. Know that there is always a solution to be found. With your increased creativity, there is the possibility of a more intense love life. If you are single, this period might be quite memorable.

You also could meet The One. If you are attached, enjoy the good moments. Plan a special event or trip 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) Be careful not to let any negativity rub off on you. Tonight: Express an innate playfulness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The unexpected is likely to occur, and it could throw you off your game. Tonight: Speak up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You will be able to deal with someone’s seriousness, even if you feel uncomfortable.

Tonight: Ever playful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel as though you are carrying more than your share of burdens. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

initiate sex, he isn’t interested. It always has to be his idea. I’ve read everything I could about having a good sex life and tried for years to please him. But he thinks sexual pleasure is only for him and the rest is a tool to punish me.

I had an affair, and the sex was wonderful, but I broke it off. Now I’m considering divorce.

Boring sex might be why some women lose interest. That’s my two cents.

— Tired of It All Dear Tired: Dissatisfaction can be a reason to avoid sex, but your real problem is a husband who doesn’t care that you are unhappy.

Whether or not you divorce, please get counseling.

Coach stresses in-state recruits

Beaty takes reins

The last time I heard a man with a Texas twang passionately insisting that Kansas is the place that all recruiting must start for the Kansas University football program, Don Fambrough was the man doing the talking.

Monday, in a far swankier office than the one Fambrough occupied during his two stays as head football coach, another energetic Texan preached the importance of convincing Kansas boys that there’s no place like home.

“I’m fixing to start in my own backyard,” Beaty said.

And he did. Lawrence High coach Dirk Wedd said he enjoyed a 45-minute visit Monday afternoon with Beaty and old friend Clint Bowen, the assistant head coach/defensive coordinator. From there, the coaches visited Baldwin High’s Mike Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo Berg.

Packers hold off Falcons, 43-37 AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

FREE STATENORTH HIGH TODAY WEST

SOUTH

Green Bay, Wis. (ap) — Another big first half helped the Green Bay Packers withstand a furious rally by the desperate Atlanta Falcons.

Eddie Lacy ran for a touchdown and caught one of Aaron Rodgers’ three TD passes, and Green Bay built a 24-point lead before holding on for a 43-37 victory Monday night.

The Packers (10-3) earned their fifth consecutive victory to stay a game up on Detroit in the NFC North. Atlanta dropped to 5-8, but remained in a first-place tie with New Orleans in the woeful NFC South.

Julio Jones had a career-best 259 yards receiving for the Falcons before leaving with a hip injury. Jones had a 22-yard touchdown catch in a 20-point fourth quarter that helped Atlanta cut into Green Bay’s big lead.

Matt Ryan’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Harry Douglas with 2:15 left got Atlanta within six.

But the Packers recovered the ensuing onside kick. James Starks’ 41-yard run with 1:37 left to the Atlanta 6 effectively ended the Falcons’ upset hopes.

Atlanta came frustratingly close to a rare victory in Titletown. Green Bay held on for its seventh home win, but the porous pass defense may have given potential playoff foes

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self saw in one game just how bad and how good his Jayhawks can be.

The Jayhawks (6-1) moved back into AP Top 10 on Monday, three days after an impressive 71-65 comeback victory over Florida.

“I learned how we can look obviously when we’re not focused and prepared to play, and basically how slow we can look because they dominated us with their speed in the first half,” Self said Monday.

“We found out a lot of things.

It’s a long game. Defensive rebounding can keep you in the game even when the offense is laboring. I think we showed some toughness there, no question, in the second half.”

Kentucky, the team responsible for the Jayhawks’ only loss, remained No. 1 in the new poll.

The Wildcats (9-0) became the unanimous No. 1 team

Monday, getting the first-place votes on all 64 ballots cast.

Syracuse spent two weeks as a unanimous No. 1 last season.

Wisconsin had been getting some first-place votes before its 80-70 loss last week to Duke.

The Badgers slipped from second to fifth in the new rankings.

Duke (8-0) replaced Wisconsin at No. 2, jumping two spots and ahead of No. 3 Arizona (80), which stayed undefeated with a 66-63 overtime victory against No. 9 Gonzaga over the weekend.

Louisville was up one spot to fourth. Virginia, Villanova, Texas and Gonzaga were ahead of Kansas.

Since its 72-40 loss to the Wildcats on Nov. 18 that dropped Kansas from fifth to 11th in the poll, the Jayhawks have won their past five games.

The latest was against another top SEC team.

Kansas trailed 39-24 at home against Florida, and needed a 17-0 run in the second half to take control.

“I think it showed that our guys were pretty resilient, pretty tough,” said Self, whose team plays at Georgetown on Wednesday night.

Michigan State is unranked for the first time since December 2011, a streak of 58 consecutive polls. That was the thirdlongest current run behind Duke (141) and Kansas (109).

This is the third consecutive week that the third-longest current streak ended. Florida and Syracuse dropped out the past two weeks.

That may be the end of the trifecta drops for now.

Next on the list is fourthranked Louisville, with 46 consecutive poll appearances.

It would take a very unlikely plummet for the Cardinals to be unranked a week from now.

For the first time since the final poll of the 2010-11 season, neither Michigan State nor Michigan is ranked. Both dropped out this week.

The Wolverines (6-2), who played for the national title less

SEATTLE MARINERS

than two years ago, are coming off that stunning 72-70 loss Saturday to the New Jersey Institute of Technology. They dropped out from 17th after being ranked in 13 consecutive polls.

NJIT is a commuter school that not so long ago went through an 0-29 season that was part of a 51-game losing streak.

Michigan State (6-3) fell from 19th after a 79-78 overtime loss to Notre Dame (8-1), one of the poll newcomers at No. 25.

Arkansas and Illinois were the other teams to fall out of the latest poll.

Washington (7-0) is the highest ranked of four newcomers this week, checking in at 17th.

The Huskies were last ranked for 11 weeks during the 2010-11 season.

No. 23 Northern Iowa (8-0) and No. 24 St. John’s (6-1) are also back in after lengthy absences. The Panthers were last ranked for four weeks in 200910, and the Red Storm (6-1) had a four-week poll stay in 2010-11.

LATEST LINE in their lineup. Now Brandon Moss has to provide it.

Cleveland finalized a trade — the first of the winter meetings — that has been in the works for weeks by acquiring Moss, a first baseman/outfielder and All-Star last season, from the Oakland Athletics on Monday for minor league infielder Joey Wendle.

The 31-year-old Moss batted .234 with 25 homers and 81 RBIs in a career-high 147 games for the A’s. Moss hit .268 with 21 homers in the first half of the season to earn his first All-Star selection.

San Diego — The Chargers are in the market for a punter after Mike Scifres broke his left clavicle in a 23-14 loss to New England.

Scifres was hurt when Brandon Bolden blocked a secondquarter punt Sunday and then crashed into the punter.

Kansas coaches

put opponents in tough spots and special teams that would carry as much importance as the other two aspects of the game.

Through it all, one theme continued to surface: the importance of hard work and genuine relationships.

“We have some really good friends out there that want to see us do well here,” he said. “And I’m looking forward to calling on those relationships.”

While those connections figure to come on the recruiting trail, Beaty’s endeavors with his new team already have begun. His first team meeting came Friday in the weight room.

And he’s in the process of getting to know each of his new players personally.

Several current Jayhawks already have taken a liking to the things that motivate their new coach.

“He is a genuine guy,” quarterback Michael Cummings said. “He’s honest. He is going to tell you how it is and shoot you straight. You may not like it at the time, but nine times out of 10 it is going to be the thing you need to hear.”

Added linebacker Jake Love: “Change is always exciting. You can either get better or worse from it, and I think we have a lot of guys here that want to win and do whatever it takes, and I think coach Beaty is going to lead us that way.”

One of the big reasons Beaty believes he can get Kansas rolling again is his love of the program.

He was here under Mark Mangino from 2008-09 and spent a year coaching at Kansas under Turner Gill in 2011. During each of those stints, he and his family made strong friendships that continued after he left.

Beaty said he expected that comfort and familiarity, along with an under-

“It took us no time because we absolutely love this place,” Beaty said.

“One of the things I love is that hard work and humility is a minimum expectation. And that is something we identify with.”

In the end, it was KU’s ability to identify with those same things in Beaty that made Zenger and the committee deem him “the right fit” for the program.

“As one committee member so aptly put it,” Zenger said. “‘I would fight with some coaches.

I would fight for David Beaty.’”

Beaty on Monday made no promises about how many games KU would win on his watch, transforming the culture or pulling the program out of the rut it has been in for the past several seasons. He merely promised to work a lot, sleep a little and do all he could to bring pride and passion back to Kansas football.

But he did offer one note of caution while doing it.

“It’s a process, not an event,” Beaty said. “Let it take hold.”

Contract talk Zenger said the fiveyear contract Beaty signed to take over the Kansas program included an annual base salary of $800,000, with incentives that could exceed $1.5 million.

In addition, Zenger said Beaty would have at his disposal a pool of $2.1-2.4 million to pay his coaching staff, which includes nine full-time assistant coaches.

As of Monday, the only known members of Beaty’s staff were defensive coordinator/assistant coach Clint Bowen and running backs coach/ recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell.

Jayhawks All-Big 12 Linebacker Ben Heeney and punter Trevor Pardula headlined a list of four KU seniors named to the Associated Press AllBig 12 teams Monday.

Heeney finished 2014 with 127 tackles, good for second in the Big 12 and led the NCAA with 7.3 solo tackles per game.

Pardula led the conference with a 44.3-yard average on 83 punts.

Tight end Jimmay Mundine (584 yards and 3 touchdowns on 45 receptions) and cornerback JaCorey Shepherd (third nationally, with 19 pass break-ups) were named to the second team.

Snell passes Former KU fullback Arnold Snell, who played for the Jayhawks from 1986-88, died Saturday morning. Snell served as a team captain during his three seasons as a Jayhawk and rushed for 1,762 career yards, which ranks 15th on the KU career rushing list.

Services will take place Saturday at Greater Penecostal Temple in Kansas City, Kansas.

some of whom will earn scholarships after two seasons.

Told of Beaty’s Kansas-first plan, Lisher said, “I hope so. You look at K-State’s roster compared to KU’s, and it’s unbelievable. So I hope so.”

Kansas State’s roster lists 54 players from the state, KU’s 19. Walk-ons are easier to recruit now since the rules changed a year ago to allow walkons to have access to all the same meals as the scholarship players.

In-state tuition makes it easier to land in-state walk-ons.

Beaty’s Texas recruiting ties helped him get the job, and he’ll mine those to help him keep the job. He’ll have someone on his staff reopening the pipelines to Oklahoma and Missouri, in that order.

All it takes to appreciate the importance of in-state recruits is to look at the Orange Bowl rosters from 1968 and 2008. Much changed in 40 years, but one thing didn’t. If Kansas wants to reverse its losing ways, it must respect local coaches and recruits.

Beaty gets that. It will take time to heal wounds created by the previous two regimes spanning five years, and he knows he must be at once patient and relentless toward that end.

that could have easily been avoided because obviously he wasn’t a part of anything going on there.

He was just there.

“Of course, you guys have read the report (details available in the Journal-World story at http:// ljw.bz/1ubROtb). He just didn’t handle it very well when he was asked to do something,” Self added.

One source close to the situation indicated Traylor failed to provide identification when asked and was generally uncooperative at least for a time after police arrived at the scene. The report the police issued on the disturbance did not identify Traylor by name, merely indicating “several individuals interfered with officers’ duties as they tried to question suspects and make arrests.”

“He understands. ’Mari gets it. ’Mari, certainly after the initial thing, realization of the ramifications, something made out of something so small, he realizes he was wrong,” Self said. “But we’ll deal with it just like we would with anybody.

He feels bad about what happened, certainly understands why he won’t play. But (he’s) got to somehow take this and learn from it and be stronger for it, identify any reasons on why it occurred, eliminate that from your thought process moving forward, become a better man because of it. Certainly it’s a great learning lesson to our other guys, as well.” l

Mason practices: Sophomore guard Frank Mason III, who suffered an ankle sprain in Friday’s victory over Florida, practiced “50 percent of the time” Mason Monday, Self said on his “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“He should be a ‘go’ Wednesday, no question,” Self said of Mason playing against the Hoyas (5-2), who also have de-

feated Florida this season. “Frank is a different dude. Yesterday we were talking. I said, ‘Frank, you are not going to practice.’

He said, ‘I want to practice. My goal was never to miss a practice.’ That’s how he does think. He wants to be out there all the time.” l

Off to D.C.: The Jayhawks will leave for Washington D.C. after a morning practice today.

Several Jayhawks will have family members and friends at the game, including Mason, who hails from Petersburg, Virginia, and Devonté Graham, who is from Raleigh, North Carolina.

“My mom, grandma, uncles, cousins, friends, coaches will be there,” Graham said, noting it is about a 41⁄2-hour drive from his hometown. “I think I’ll be a little more excited about them being in the crowd. I know Frank has a lot of people coming, I think Wayne (Selden, Roxbury, Massachusetts), too.” l

Quite a duo: New KU football coach David Beaty joined Self for a segment on Self’s “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“I’m sure his (first news conference at KU) was a lot better than mine. This is a guy who I get a call from late at night. He didn’t have to do that. He doesn’t realize how encouraging that was,” Beaty said of Self calling to congratulate Beaty on getting the job.

“He was getting ready for the big game, which is always the next game on the schedule. Means a lot to me.”

Self cracked: “I had to call you. You texted me and woke me up. Why wouldn’t I call?”

Self said at his weekly news conference: “I can tell he (Beaty) is excited.

I heard the press conference today went well. I’m sure it did. It’s nice to see guys with energy. I’m sure that will feed off on many others. I’m happy for him. Like I said before, I’m happy for Clint (Bowen, defensive coordinator, assistant head coach). Clint did a great job. Happy for him, that he’s going to be a part of us moving forward. He’s obviously a big part of Kansas football.”

HEISMAN TROPHY

Mariota, Cooper, Gordon finalists New York (ap) — The Heisman Trophy finalists would make one heck of an offense.

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper and record-breaking Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon are set to make the trip to New York for the Heisman presentation after the finalists were announced on Monday.

Mariota is considered the clear the front-runner to win the 80th Heisman on Saturday night in New York. He would become the first Oregon player to earn college football’s most famous player of the year trophy.

Mariota and the second-seeded Ducks will face Florida State and last year’s Heisman winner Jameis Winston at the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinals on Jan. 1.

Cooper helped Alabama earn the top seed in the playoff. The Crimson Tide plays Ohio State at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Winston becomes the seventh player since 2003 to take a shot at a Heisman repeat and come up short. Ohio State’s Archie Griffin is the only player to win two Heismans.

Finalists are determined by percentage of votes received from 929 media members and former winners.

Mariota didn’t even

“I am privileged to have the opportunity to represent our team at the Heisman ceremony. None of this would be possible without my coaches and teammates.”

Heisman voters submit a ballot with their top three selections. Mariota, Gordon and Cooper emerged as such strong candidates late in the season that the rest of the field drifted away.

The last time voters picked only three Heisman finalists was 2012, when Johnny Manziel won in a landslide vote against Kansas State’s Collin Klein and Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o.

Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott made a strong push in October, but tailed off in November as the Bulldogs lost twice.

Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was making a late-season surge before he was injured in the regular-season finale against Michigan and had to miss the Big Ten championship game.

TCU’s Trevone Boykin, another dual-threat quarterback, had numbers that rivaled Mariota’s in some areas: 3,714 yards and 30 touchdowns in 12 games.

Indiana’s Tevin Coleman also surpassed 2,000 yards rushing and his average per carry was just a tick below Gordon’s (7.54 to 7.56).

Bowlsby gives TCU the nod

By Jimmy Burch Fort Worth Star-Telegram

In efforts to help the Big 12 rebound from having both of its co-champions snubbed for berths in the inaugural College Football Playoff, commissioner Bob Bowlsby took an unusual step Monday.

He told a national radio show he would have chosen TCU over Baylor for a spot in the four-team bracket if he had been part of the 12-member selection committee. Bowlsby made his comments to guest host Chris Mannix on the Dan Patrick Radio Show, where the commissioner acknowledged surprise that TCU (11-1) fell from No. 3 to No. 6 in the CFP’s final rankings. The Horned Frogs finished behind No. 5 Baylor (11-1), with the last two playoff spots going to No. 3 Florida State (13-0) and No. 4 Ohio State (12-1).

Asked which team he would have voted into the playoff mix, if given a chance, Bowlsby responded “TCU” without hesitation.

“The only reason I say that is because I thought they were in a better po-

It seemed like they were better-positioned to stay there. Obviously, in a perfect situation, I thought Baylor and TCU were both good enough to be in.”

But committee mem-

bers decided otherwise.

In explaining their rationale, they cited the fact that the four playoff participants played 13 games because of conference championship games in their respective leagues.

The Big 12, because of its 10-team configuration, cannot stage a conference championship game under NCAA rules. Its cochamps went into playoff

deliberations working off 12-game resumes and fell short.

During Sunday’s playoff announcement, selection committee chairman Jeff Long made it clear that Ohio State’s 59-0 rout of Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship helped the Buckeyes improve from last week’s fifth spot and into the playoff mix over both Big 12 co-champs.

As he mentioned during a Sunday teleconference with reporters, Bowlsby acknowledged on Monday’s radio show that Big 12 officials must re-visit some policies and procedures if league champions are going to be disadvantaged in playoff deliberations each year by playing only 12 games, rather than 13. Bowlsby is spending Monday and Tuesday in New York for the National Football Foundation’s annual awards dinner. Part of the agenda, he said, includes meetings with Big 12 athletic directors and he predicted “an early topic of conversation” will be the league’s CFP predicament going forward with 12-game schedules.

As things stand, NCAA rules allow championship games only in leagues with at least 12 members, where schools are divided into divisions and play a round-robin schedule within each division.

The Big 12 and ACC have sponsored NCAA legislation aimed at loosening those restrictions to allow leagues with fewer than 12 members to stage a title game, if desired.

Vegas weighs in on playoff field Las Vegas (ap) — What if the people who make their living rating teams every day were in charge of seeding the college football playoffs? What if the inaugural playoff season wasn’t decided by a group of people with different agendas that might factor into their judgment?

There would be a lot more happy people in Texas, that’s for sure.

“My personal opinion is I thought it would be Alabama, Oregon, TCU and Florida State,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Westgate Las Vegas. “I’m very disappointed they let Ohio State in there over TCU and Baylor.”

Yes, TCU and Baylor.

In his book’s power ratings, Kornegay has them both listed as better teams than Ohio State.

And it’s not even close.

Put them on a neutral field and Kornegay says TCU would be favored by a touchdown against the Buckeyes. Baylor would be about a 6-point pick if the Bears were playing Ohio State.

But that’s not all. Kornegay says there are more teams that would be favored against the Buckeyes should they have met in a bowl game.

Mississippi State, Mississippi and Auburn. If the sole criteria for selection were picking the best

team at the moment, they would all be in before the Buckeyes were given a shot.

“What this is saying, I don’t know,” Kornegay said. “Is it back to a popularity and money issue? I certainly hope not, but I think they set a very poor precedent with their selection.”

Oddsmakers aren’t always right, of course, or no one would make money betting sports. One they got wrong was Ohio State’s wipeout of Wisconsin, where the Buckeyes went from 4-point favorites to 4-point underdogs when J.T. Barrett got hurt and there wasn’t a lot of confidence in re-

placement Cardale Jones.

But they post their lines every day, inviting the sharpest and biggest gamblers to try and beat them. So when they say that there are other teams better than Ohio State that didn’t get in, they do it after putting lines up on all the top teams throughout the college season.

Beating a Wisconsin team that seemed to give up by halftime simply wasn’t enough to change a lot of minds in this gambling town. Not even with a 59-0 final in the Big Ten title game.

“They had one good game is all and they ran the score up on Wiscon-

sin to get style points,” said Johnny Avello, who runs the sports book at the Wynn resort. “The whole system is just flawed.”

Avello in particular didn’t like that the selection committee released six weekly rankings, with the final one dropping TCU from the No. 3 spot to sixth, despite a 55-3 thrashing of Iowa State.

“Don’t even put up the top 25 at all, just put them up when you’ve made your final decision,” Avello said. “We don’t need to see your opinions. We’re bookmakers, we know what the right teams are so there’s no need for you to tell us who they are.”

Chief’s Berry diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Chiefs safety Eric Berry has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease and will begin chemotherapy for what doctors called a “very treatable and potentially curable” form of cancer.

Berry had been undergoing tests at Emory University in Atlanta since an MRI exam nearly two weeks ago showed a mass on the right side of his chest. At the time, doctors were still uncertain whether the mass was cancerous, but further testing revealed the lymphoma.

Dr. Christopher Flowers, who directs the lymphoma program at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute, said Monday that Berry will undergo “standard chemotherapy approaches” to treat the disease. Flowers did not provide a timetable or prognosis for recovery.

“The goal of Mr. Berry’s treatment is to cure his lymphoma and we are beginning that treatment now,” Flowers said in a statement issued through the Chiefs.

The survival rate in 1960 was about 40 percent, but advancements in medicine combined with earlier detections have increased the survival rate to more than 80 percent.

“I want to thank the Emory University School of Medicine, along with Dr. Flowers and his team, for all of their hard work and effort in diagnosing and creating a plan for me

to battle this thing,” Berry said in a statement. “I will embrace this process and attack it the same way I do everything else in life.

God has more than prepared me for it.”

Hall of Fame hockey player Mario Lemieux was diagnosed with the same disease in 1993, at the height of his career.

He underwent radiation and other treatment and missed about two months, and later took a leave of absence. But he ultimately returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins to finish his career.
