Roberts: U.S. makes progress vs. ISIS Topeka (ap) — Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts said Sunday that he saw signs of progress in fighting against Islamic State militants in Iraq during a weekend trip there to visit U.S. troops.

Roberts said he was encouraged by the success of Iraqi Kurdish fighters in pushing back the Islamic State group around the contested northern Iraqi town of Sinjar. He said U.S. troops in Iraq, including about 400 from the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, headquartered at Fort Riley, are playing key roles in providing intelligence and training Iraqis, along with providing air support.

The Republican senator arrived Thursday night in Kuwait to visit U.S. troops. He went to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to meet with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and his defense and foreign ministers Saturday and was in the Kurdish city of Erbil in northern Iraq on Sunday. He gave a telephone interview to The Associated Press after returning to Kuwait.

Roberts said he wants to be careful not to be overly optimistic, but he said he believes al-Abadi has strengthened the Iraqi military’s leadership in the past 100 days and is trying to reconcile his nation’s Sunni and Shiite Muslims. The

senator also said morale among U.S. troops and commanders is good.

The senator said he believes many Americans see Iraq as being in a “free fall” after the Islamic State this summer captured control of parts of northern and western Iraq.

“Success is yet to be determined, without question, but it is not in a free fall like I think so many Americans think it might be,” Roberts said.

“Things have changed dramatically, according to all of our personnel.”

Roberts later acknowledged: “I went in expecting the worst.”

About 1,700 U.S. troops are in Iraq, and President Barack Obama has authorized up to 3,000 to advise and train Iraqi forces. Roberts said there’s still a question as to whether the Iraqi defense forces can match the combat readiness of tough Kurdish fighters.

Roberts met Saturday with al-Abadi, who took power in September, and sees him as a “big improvement” over former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Roberts said the new prime minister quickly replaced senior military officers to encourage cooperation between Sunnis and Shiites.

“I’m just guardedly impressed,” Roberts said.

BRIEFLY Wichita to join in immigration battle

No decision yet on joining pot lawsuit

Wichita — Wichita plans to lobby the state Legislature next year to allow people in the country illegally to receive a driver’s permit.

The permits could not be used for airport security or as identification to vote. But they could be used to obtain car insurance.

The Wichita City Council voted Tuesday to include the measure as part of its agenda for the upcoming session.

Supporters say the permits would make it easier for immigrants to find work and would protect the public from being in accidents with people who don’t have insurance.

Rep. Ponka-We Victors, a Democrat from Wichita, introduced a similar bill last session, but it didn’t get a hearing.

Topeka — Kansas hasn’t decided whether to join a lawsuit filed by other states against Colorado over its legalization of marijuana.

Spokeswoman Jennifer Rapp said Friday that Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has been considering legal action against Colorado.

But, she added, his office is still weighing its options.

Nebraska and Oklahoma filed a lawsuit Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking it to declare Colorado’s legalization of marijuana unconstitutional. They argue it’s a public safety issue.

They’re seeking to prevent Colorado from enforcing an initiative approved by voters in 2012 to legalize marijuana despite federal laws against it.

gemstones, shells and other natural elements.

The line, under her business name, “Feather Spring Arts,” was discovered by an Urban Outfitters buyer this summer.

Since then, Roelofs has had a steady demand for orders from the national apparel store.

Her work had previously only been available at Nomad’s, 725 Massachusetts St., OmTree Shala, 1405 Massachusetts St., and at art fairs like that of Ladies of Lawrence Artwork, or LOLA. For Roelofs, it was a bit of a transition from selling solely locally. On her first order, she was asked to make 10 of each piece in her collection.

Additionally, she said, Urban Outfitters had specific requirements of where and what kinds of labels needed to be placed on her work.

“It all has to go out together — they’re all your designs, but you need to make 10 of each,” Roelofs

much better chance of the patient walking out of the hospital and going back to his or her life if catheters were used rather than IV clot-buster drugs alone.

The article published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine provided evidence to back that up.

A research trial using the acronym MR CLEAN indicated that physically removing large clots blocking blood vessels to the brain was decidedly more effective in producing positive patient outcomes than the current standard of care, which is an IV-infusion of clot-

ple streets on multiple reports of a pedestrian hit by a train. The victim died at the scene, said Sgt. Craig Shanks.

The train tracks and the intersection remained closed much of Sunday while police continued their investigation and the coroner made his report, Shanks said.

By about 8:30 p.m., northbound train traf-

fic had resumed, but the southbound line remained blocked by investigators and first responders.

“At this time, the cause of the accident is not known,” police Sgt. Mark Unruh told the Journal-World late Sunday night, adding that the coroner was still attempting to identify the victim.

said. “You also have to put ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ in English and in French on the tags.”

While balancing the demand with a full-time job as an occupational therapist with Lawrence Therapy Services seems challenging, Roelofs said she doesn’t see much division between what she does at work and what she does in art.

“It’s just all connected; I love meaningful things,” Roelofs explained. “In occupational therapy, I find the things in life that are meaningful for people and use them to motivate (them) and make their lives better. It’s the same with gemstones, they’re meaningful.”

Roelofs strives to find meaning in all things, she said, which is why she has been drawn to gemstones since she was a child. She said they serve as personal reminders of positivity, strength, serenity and nostalgia.

“A lot of people will buy turquoise because their mother loved turquoise,” Roelofs said.

“Amythyst is another favorite, and it’s also a birthstone.”

Another one of the

more popular gemstones she uses in her work, angel aura quartz, is often used in meditation and is associated with light and tranquility. Roelofs said in the metaphysical world, the clear quartz crystals are “the supreme gift of Mother Earth.” She uses this quartz in a “traveler” necklace, a sewn pouch containing the stone.

“It’s supposed to serve as a reminder that we carry our own light every day,” Roelofs said.

Still, she realizes that some of her customers might pick up her glimmering, earthy pieces just because of their appearances, and that’s OK with her, too.

“I’m sure some people probably just like it because it’s pretty,” Roelofs said.

Metaphysiology aside, Roelofs said the true “magic” of the stones is what we make of the reminders ourselves.

“We make the meaning, but by putting positivity into our lives, life gets better than ever,” Roelofs said. “The gemstones are a little reminder.”

busting drugs, according to KU Hospital.

“The need for a treatment for patients who do not have a good response to intravenous treatment alone remains pressing,” doctor Werner Hacke wrote in an editorial accompanying the journal study, noting that the drug’s time window is limited and certain clots respond poorly to it.

Clot-buster drugs must be used within three or four hours after the onset of symptoms, Rymer said.

She said the study validated that the catheter device can be effective up to six hours after the onset.

The study showed that even stroke patients over 80 can benefit from the catheter, Rymer said.

That’s particularly en-

couraging because doctors have always been concerned about using clot-buster drugs with those older patients.

Stroke is cited as the third leading cause of death worldwide, and the leading cause of death for women, Rymer said.

It’s also a leading cause of adult disability, if blood flow to the brain is cut off for too long, making strokes extra important to treat quickly and effectively.

“We’re not just talking about mortality,” Rymer said. “We’re talking about not being able to walk, or not being able to talk.”

But now we all have a new guessing game to play when it comes to the area near the WalMart at Sixth and Wakarusa. Plans have been filed for two new restaurants near the store, but we don’t yet have names for them.

Plans have been filed to build about Mike Cohen, a 12,000-square-foot system administrator, building that will house Lawrence two “upscale casual sit “I don’t enjoy the chains down restaurants” and as much as the unique a boutique retail type of Lawrence restaurants. tenant.

I’m not saying that any of those restaurants are the ones included in this project. Clearly, some of them don’t make sense for the site or don’t even have operations in this part of the country. But I do find it interesting to note what major restaurants we don’t have. l l l

A local meat shop that makes pastrami, sausage and other such items is expanding to become more of a restaurant, complete with alcohol sales.

Hank Charcuterie, 19th and Massachusetts streets, has won city approval to start serving beer and wine at the establishment. The alcohol sales are a part of a strategy to expand the butcher shop into a restaurant as well, said Vaughn Good, chef and owner of Hank Charcuterie.

The restaurant part of the business is already underway. The business has a menu of sandwiches, soups, sausages and other such fare that changes daily. But Good said he determined that offering alcohol with meals would help the establishment, which has been open since July. It also will help the business begin offering more specialty dinners. Good said he envisions hosting dinners where local farmers and ranchers are on hand to discuss how they raise the produce and meat served at Hank’s.

“Our philosophy is really to let people understand their food,” Good said.

The restaurant offerings, though, aren’t a sign that the business is cutting back on its butcher shop activities. Good said he’s still working to help people understand that the store is a regular butcher shop, in addition to an establishment that produces charcuterie, which is a branch of cooking that focuses on the preparation of hams, bacon, sausages, pates and other meat products. Good does all that, but he said the business also offers a traditional butcher case where people can pick up a ribeye for the grill, some hamburger, pork chops or other meats that include lamb, goat, chicken and duck.

City commissioners did hear concerns from Lawrence’s Victory Bible Church, which is within 400 feet of Hank Charcuterie. City codes prohibit drinking establishment licenses within 400 feet of a church or school, unless the city grants an exemption from the code. Such exemptions have become fairly routine, but leaders with Victory Bible Church asked that the city not grant the exemption. City commissioners, though, ultimately granted the exemption with the condition that the business make at least 55 percent of its revenues from the sale of food.

Universal Service Fund, and to make recommendations to the 2015 Legislature.

Sen. Mike Petersen, RWichita, who chairs the special committee, said the report was so large and detailed that committee members needed time to absorb the information before making any recommendations. But he did say the audit would be presented again during the 2015 session to the standing House and Senate utilities committees, which deal with the issue.

The Kansas Universal Service fund, or KUSF, was established in 1996, when widespread access to the Internet was in its infancy. It was intended to make sure that all areas of the state would have access to basic phone services such as dial tones for making local calls and 911 emergency service.

In addition, it was intended to help phone companies invest in the infrastructure needed to deliver broadband data service, which at the time was still being defined.

The revenue, which began at about $96 million a year, was important, especially for small rural phone companies, because LECs had been ordered to lower the fees

L awrence J ournal -W orld they charge other phone companies for access onto their network for calls within the state.

But the revenues have dwindled over the years.

In 2013, the tax brought in only about $46 million, largely because the state’s largest phone company, Southwestern Bell — now known as AT&T — was allowed to phase out its support.

AT&T’s participation in the fund officially ended in January. Today, the largest single recipient of funds is CenturyLink, a company formed out of four local exchange companies that were part of the former United Telephone Company of Kansas. CenturyLink receives $11 million to $13 million annually, the audit said.

The audit also broke down how much money each company gets on a per-line basis and found that one company, Zenda Telephone in southcentral Kansas, received $1,521 per line in 2013, the largest of any of the 38 rural telephone companies receiving subsidies.

Gorham Communications, a small phone company west of Russell, received $1,435 per line last year.

The report also found that some companies are not necessarily using the funds to build infrastructure, contrary to the program’s intentions.

“In fact, the KUSF and capital expenditure data

we analyzed demonstrates that at least seven carriers spent substantially less on capital improvements than they received in KUSF payments over the past five years,” the report said. “Moreover, when comparing combined state and federal USF payments to average capital expenditures for that same period, we determined that most companies do not invest more in plant and equipment than they receive in total support payments.”

The audit also found that in rural areas where companies are investing in new infrastructure, customers are getting state-of-the-art service, including fiber-optic cable coming directly onto the premises.

Overall, the audit said, Kansas ranks second in the nation for availability of broadband service in rural areas. Based on information from 32 Kansas rural phone companies that report such data, 72 percent of their lines provide both voice and broadband service, compared to 58 percent nationally.

Of those broadband lines in rural Kansas, 43 percent provide it through “fiber-to-thepremises” technology.

United effort United Way of Douglas County needs a little holiday help to meet its annual fundraising goal.

T

he United Way of Douglas County is a worthy target for area residents considering holiday and year-end charitable donations.

United Way officials announced last week that the organization’s annual fundraising campaign is in danger of falling short of its goal for the second year in a row. Current estimates are that the campaign needs about $125,000 in donations before the end of the year to meet its $1.8 million goal. Last year, United Way was able to use reserve funds to make up much of the shortfall, but it won’t be able to count on reserve funds for that purpose this year.

That means that any campaign shortfall will directly impact the 29 nonprofit agencies that receive United Way funding. Many of these agencies and the work they do are well known to local residents.

The money they receive from United Way is used to promote community efforts in three specific areas: education, self-sufficiency and health.

The coordination provided by United Way helps ensure that the dollars donated through its annual campaign are used in an efficient and effective way. Agencies that receive United Way funds work together to reduce duplication of services and show positive outcomes from the dollars being spent. United Way can’t supply all the funds that local agencies need, but it works hard to make sure that United Way dollars are used well to address specific community goals.

The demand for charitable dollars has grown in recent years, and donors have many choices of where to direct their donations. There are many deserving groups in Lawrence and Douglas County, and United Way is one of the best because donors can be confident that their dollars are being directed to address community priorities in an effective way.

It’s too bad that United Way is struggling to meet this year’s goal, but we hope the holiday spirit of giving will inspire enough donations to put the annual drive over the top.

Obama makes cautious foreign progress Washington — The nadir for President Obama’s foreign policy was probably last April.

His Republican critics were calling him “weak” and “indecisive” after Russia’s invasion of Crimea. A deflated Obama responded meekly that sometimes the best a president can do is to hit “singles” and “doubles.”

Obama still isn’t hitting home runs. But he does seem to have rediscovered his stance as a leader. Last month, he made climate, military and investment agreements with China’s President Xi Jinping; this week, he proposed diplomatic and trade relations with Cuba; he continues negotiating what could be a breakthrough nuclear deal with Iran; he’s slowly forming a global coalition to defeat the Islamic State. And at home, when Congress failed to act on immigration, he boldly announced unilateral measures.

All these actions have Republican members of Congress sputtering. But what are they going to do? Sue him?

Actually, they’re already trying that over Obamacare — reinforcing the public’s impression that the GOP would rather criticize than govern.

What characterizes Obama’s recent moves is that they’re cautious but deliberate. He’s still a president who doesn’t like to take major risks, with the exception of covert actions to kill terrorists or free hostages, where he has been arguably more aggressive than any predecessor.

“

Since the Democrats got pasted six weeks ago in the midterm elections, Obama has seemed more liberated to govern.”

He governs in minor chords, disdainful of the cymbalcrashing rhetoric of military intervention.

The real test of Obama’s approach is with Russia: Through the spring, as President Vladimir Putin grew ever more belligerent in Ukraine, Obama kept open what he liked to call the “offramp,” even as he added more sanctions against Moscow and gathered a skittish European coalition to punish Russia. As critics wailed about U.S. passivity, administration officials noted that Russia was digging its own grave. Its economy was too weak to support Putin’s expansionism.

Right now, it looks as if Obama may have been right that sanctions (reinforced by collapsing oil prices) would ultimately put Putin under

severe pressure. Russia’s 19thcentury-style putsch gave an illusion of strength, but 21stcentury economic power is likely to have more lasting impact.

“Objectively, Russia is weak and has many vulnerabilities, including a society that isn’t fully in sync with Putin’s hyper-chauvinism,” said former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski in an interview. As the ruble falls and Russia’s economy buckles, “its leaders are beginning to ask: How do we get out of this?” The wild card is “how much disconnect from reality is there” with a vain Russian leader whose strutting, barechested antics Brzezinski likens to those of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

In dealing with foreign crises, Obama has been dinged for what Sen. John McCain calls a “feckless foreign policy where nobody believes in America’s strength.” Some of this criticism is deserved, especially on Iraq and Syria where Obama’s early caution and disengagement made bad situations worse. But more broadly, Obama may yet win his argument that the U.S. needs to break with the unilateral, interventionist policies of the previous decade that have lost support at home and abroad.

Obama’s theme of change is clearest in his strategies for engaging adversaries, such as Iran and Cuba, and keeping the door open for cooperation with rivals such as Russia and

China. You wouldn’t know it in the echo chamber of Washington, but I found broad support for the idea of engagement in recent trips to China, Europe and the Middle East.

There is a widely shared view overseas that the United States drove down a dead-end street during the George W. Bush years, and much interest in alternative strategies. The loudest dissents come from such status-quo partners as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, whose views are amplified by their close ties to Congress and the news media.

Since the Democrats got pasted six weeks ago in the midterm elections, Obama has seemed more liberated to govern. You might have suspected the opposite, given the crushing defeat, but Obama now seems closer to the “post-political” aspirations he discussed during his first presidential campaign.

For these last two years, we may see a better display of what Obama promised back in 2008.

“He has nothing to lose, and he can be himself,” says Brzezinski of the post-election Obama. Finally, he has a framework for solid policy — in dealing with Russia, Iran, Iraq and Cuba. Successful implementation has never been easy for this president, but he may do better now, when he seems to have the wind at his back and the end in sight.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 22, 1914: “A deal was closed yesterday by J. L. Brady whereby he became years the owner of a majority of the ago stock in the Times-Record ComIN 1914 pany of Fort Smith, Arkansas, the only evening paper in a town of 80,000 people, a town that is destined to be one of the largest and best in the south.... Arrangements had been made for the sale of his stock in the Journal-World to W. C. Simons, the sale to become effective here immediately upon the transfer of the Fort Smith property. … Twentythree years ago the 14th of December, W. C. Simons came to Lawrence to take on the business management of the Record and a few months later together with Mr. Brady started the World.

Nine years ago Mr. Brady purchased the Lawrence Journal and Mr. Simons bought the World, the two papers being consolidated following the destruction of the Journal plant in the fire which burned the Bowersock theatre. Mr. Simons has always handled the business end of the paper and looked forward to the time when he could buy the interest of his associate…. As a result of this sale Mr. Simons now owns 196 of the two hundred shares of stock in the World Company.”

Rules of war need an update The attack on a cafe in Sydney, Australia, by a selfdescribed Islamic cleric with a long police record, left two hostages dead, along with the cleric, one Man Haron Monis. He was an Iranian refugee who enjoyed the hospitality and protection of the Australian government.

That incident, which was televised worldwide, was quickly eclipsed by the murder of 145 people at an army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan. Many of the dead were children. Press reports said Pakistani Taliban fighters burned a teacher alive in front of children and beheaded some of them. A Taliban spokesman said they were exacting revenge for a major operation by Pakistan’s Army to clear Taliban strongholds in the North Waziristan tribal area near the Afghan border.

How is the West responding to these and other atrocities? More importantly, how is the Muslim world responding?

In the United States, we have been preoccupied with a one-sided and incomplete report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee that details some of the enhanced interrogation techniques used in the aftermath of 9/11 to extract informa-

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

tion from prisoners confined to Guantanamo prison and other facilities run by the U.S. government. Supporters of those techniques assert they saved lives by thwarting more terrorist attacks; detractors assert the opposite.

Every time we witness these attacks, the apologists here and abroad are quick to issue the familiar excuses. This doesn’t represent true Islam, which they say is a religion of peace. These are “lone wolves” (lone rats would be a better designation; wolves at least have some nobility attached to their species). ISIS openly campaigns on the Internet to attract more “lone wolves.”

In the end, it doesn’t matter whether one person or an army of Taliban terrorists kill you. You are still dead.

When the next attack occurs in America — as it surely will — will the Obama administration issue the predictable denunciations and

apologies for Islam, or will we do what needs to be done to stop the killers? Civil liberties are worth protecting until they are used by our enemies — along with the constitutional protections we enjoy — to commit murder.

If we are attacked again as on 9/11 and many thousands more of us are killed, what then? Will we eventually go back to business as usual, thus ensuring more attacks?

Why aren’t the world’s estimated 1.1 billion Muslims forming an army of their own to take out those they claim misrepresent their religion? Why must America face most of the financial and human burden? These killers claim to be acting in the name of Islam, so how about members of the “peaceful religion” doing themselves and the world a favor by taking the lead and neutralizing the threat of Islamic radicalism?

Or would that be an “enhanced technique” that might offend the sensibilities of Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee?

Apparently, those senators have forgotten that the one hijacked plane American heroes forced down in Pennsylvania might have been headed for the Capitol Building.

To the editor: Transparency?

Yeah, right.

This headline appeared on Dec. 17: “Brownback rejects Salina newspaper records request for 3rd time.”

I understand that The Guv can appoint new commissioners when a county commission is expanded; I accept that. What I cannot accept is the blatant lack of transparency exhibited

by Brownback in this process; this especially when he promised a more transparent state government.

These appointments are not a personnel matter, rather they stink of political patronage as many other of his appointments have. If it were a personnel matter, the positions would have been advertised and people could apply for the positions. This did not happen. Additionally, these are political positions as the commissioners run for re-election during the next elections cycle.

I’m sorry that Saline County has the misfortune to be the first of what I expect to be many examples of The Guv going back on his campaign promises. I only hope that voters are beginning to realize what they did by re-electing him.

nurses, patients and families over a three-month period at the Kansas City hospital.

“Cameras went inside our clinics and operating rooms, inside our families’ stories and inside the hearts and minds of our staff who provide transformational care for the children in our region and beyond,” Salazar said in an e-mail to the Leader & Times.

The first episode of the series follows Nelijah and his family as he is referred to Children’s Mercy where doctors, Salazar said, discovered a golf-ball size mass inside his heart.

After the episode airs, it will be placed on the Web site, Inside Pediatrics.com.

“We are in discussions with KWCH in Wichita to have the docu-series air in your media market this spring,” Salazar said.

Misty said at a red carpet premiere for Inside Pediatrics, Nelijah actually went up on stage with his doctor and nurse from the operating room.

“He got to talk about it and talk about his story,” she said. “The first episode’s an hour long, and there’s three families in there. Nelijah’s in a lot of it.”

was. He had to have open heart surgery.”

The doctors would later discover a tumor in Nelijah’s heart, which Misty said was very rare.

“The doctors said you’ve got a 1 in 5,000,000 chance in getting what Nelijah has,” she said.

“They got it out. He’s doing good, and we go back for monthly check ups in Wichita to make sure it’s not growing back.”

The surgery took place shortly after Nelijah had gotten his physical at the end of July and the beginning of August. As could be expected, the mother was taken somewhat surprised by the news.

“We’d just finished two baseball seasons,” she said. “We went to camp all summer. We had no problems. He’s had no problems with anything. It was just really overwhelming. We never expected something this bad to happen. He was such a strong athlete. He was just constantly going, so we didn’t think anything was wrong

The Tatum family’s spiritual health was kept up mostly to what Misty credits to that of the patient himself.

“Anytime anything would go wrong or something would be kind of scary, he said, ‘Mom, don’t worry. God’s got it,’” she said. “That’s his famous quote. He said all the nurses quoted him. He shook up the entire waiting room. Everybody was crying and getting upset, and Nelijah was kind of getting nervous. When they gave him his medicine, he said, ‘Mom it’s going to be OK. God’s got it.’ He kind of kept everybody up in good spirits.”

Misty said Nelijah was more focused than those waiting to see how the surgery would turn out.

“We didn’t know what to do,” she said. “It was scary.”

Now, Nelijah’s story is set to be featured in a sixpart documentary series titled “Inside Pediatrics.”

The series is narrated by Kansas City native and actor Paul Rudd.

Children’s Mercy Media Relations Manager Jessica Salazar said Inside Pediatrics follows doctors,

Long-rangers KANSAS BASKETBALL

Journal-World File Photos

THANKS TO THE LIKES OF, FROM LEFT, BRANNEN GREEN (13 THREE-POINTERS), Wayne Selden Jr. (13), Frank Mason III (12) and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (11), Kansas University is hitting 39.5 percent of its treys so far this season.

KU’s three-point shooting on upward arc Philadelphia — The recent hot shooting of Kansas University’s 9-1 basketball team raises a legitimate question: Might this be a better outside shooting team than any other during the current coach’s 12-year regime?

That answer won’t come until March, or if all falls into place, April. But the Jayhawks do seem to be trending in the right direction.

In the past three games, against Georgetown, Utah and Lafayette, Kansas has made 28 of 51 (.549) threepointers, bringing the season

long-range percentage to .395, including .443 in the past seven games.

Just two squads since Roy Williams left have finished a season with a higher three-point percentage than the one Kansas brings into Temple tonight, and last season’s wasn’t one of them.

Its .340 three-point shooting percentage ranks 11th of the 12, ahead of only 200304 (.335). The Jayhawks of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid ranked last among post-Roy teams with 5.4 threes a game.

The 2009-10 squad, with

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry and Tyrel Reed lighting it up from the perimeter, shot .404 from three and made a regime-best 7.27 threes a game.

The 2007-08 nationalchampionship squad, which

had Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Collins keeping defenses honest, shot .397 from long distance.

The team like the one for which Henry played — two guys named Henry, actually; brother C.J. shot .523 from three and had looked as if he had a miserable time doing it — is the gold standard in terms of both accuracy rate and reliance on the three.

Led by Collins with 70 three-pointers and Xavier Henry with 69, the Jayhawks averaged 7.27 made threes a game, tops during this 12year block. So far this year,

the team has made 6.2 threes a game.

Should this year’s team shoot 41 percent the rest of the way — certainly a reasonable expectation — it would vault into first place.

It already is on pace to do something that none of its 11 predecessors did. Four players average at least one three-pointer a game, and since three of the four are always on the floor together, except in blowouts, Kansas can spread the floor in a rare way.

New-look Owls to challenge Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Philadelphia — Temple’s basketball team has played 11 games this season, but the last contest is the one garnering all the attention and may be the only one that means much heading into today’s 6 p.m. game against Kansas University in Wells Fargo Center.

The Owls, who opened the season 6-4 with two of the losses to Duke (74-54) and Villanova (85-62), wel-

“

There’s a certain mindset here that we’ve been working with here the whole season.”

— Andy Reid

comed two new, homegrown players from Philadelphia WHO, WHO? into the lineup Thursday. Who: Kansas Jesse Mor- (9-1) vs. gan, a senior Temple (7-4) transfer from UMass, and When: 6 Devin Cole- tonight man, a junior Where: transfer from Philadelphia C l e m s o n , TV: ESPN2 helped their (WOW! chs. new school to 34, 234) an 82-62 road victory over Delaware.

Now 1-0 with the duo in the lineup, the unranked Owls (7-4) appear re-energized entering today’s game against No. 10-rated KU (91). The 6-foot-5 Morgan hit four threes and the 6-2 Coleman three on a night Temple swished 16 of 33 from beyond the arc. Temple scored 20 points more than its season average and had eight more assists than usual.

“If they (Owls) have labored, it’s been through scoring droughts. The two guys they got eligible are scor-

ers,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“They won at Delaware by 20 after they got those guys back. They will tighten a few things up and be even better moving forward. I’ve watched tape of three, four or five of their games, but I’ll focus on that last game, more.”

Coach Fran Dunphy said he’s happy to have Morgan (13.4 ppg at UMass in 201213) and Coleman (5.4 ppg in one semester at Clemson last year) available.

Chiefs’ playoff hopes dim with loss to Steelers Pittsburgh (ap) — Andy Reid refused to take the easy path. His aggressive decision made Kansas City’s fading road to the postseason decidedly more difficult.

Needing all of an inch on fourth down deep in Pittsburgh territory late in the

first half Sunday, Reid ordered the Chiefs to go for it.

Alex Smith stuffed the ball into Jamaal Charles’ gut.

The Steelers stuffed Charles right back into Smith.

The emphatic stop gave the Steelers momentum that would carry them to a 20-12 victory. While Pittsburgh is

heading to the postseason after a two-year absence, Kansas City (8-7) needs to beat San Diego next week and hope for plenty of help to salvage a playoff berth.

“There’s a certain mindset here that we’ve been working with here the whole season,” Reid said.

“When you’re put in that situation, you strap it on and go get the thing.”

Not this time. Cruising along in mid-November, the Chiefs have lost four of five. While they outgained the NFL’s top-ranked offense 327-288, they also surrendered six sacks and

failed to reach the end zone.

Six drives into Pittsburgh territory ended with four field goals by Cairo Santos, Charles’ fumble and the failed fourth-down attempt.

“I think there are so many little things that happened,” Please see CHIEFS, page 8B

TOP 25 BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 17 Terrapins hold off Oklahoma State The Associated Press

No. 17 Maryland 73, Oklahoma State 64 Stillwater, Okla.

— Jake Layman had 21 points and 11 rebounds and Maryland beat Oklahoma State on Sunday to improve to 11-1.

Layman was 3-of-5 from three-point range, and the Terrapins were 10-of-25 overall from long

Temple CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I think they’ll make a significant impact. They are good in just about every aspect of the game.

They are good jumpshooters. They are pretty good on the defensive end. They are very competitive,” Dunphy said.

“They’ve been itching to get an opportunity to play. I think they want an opportunity to be part of the team and do whatever they can do to help us.”

He hopes the transition continues to be as smooth tonight as it was in the Delaware game.

“It’s difficult to change your dynamic in the middle of the year, and that’s where we’re going to have to pay attention,” Dunphy told csnphilly. com. “Everybody’s going to have to really buy in.”

Morgan is elated to be playing for Dunphy and the Owls.

“It’s a great feeling to be back home, playing with your teammates and friends,” he said. “Our goal is always to get the win and do whatever is necessary to get the win, beat Kansas, that is the main thing.”

Coleman said of tonight: “I’ll try to go out there and compete, play every possession like it’s my last and try to come out with a win.”

Temple, which averages 64.2 ppg (36.9 percent shooting) and allows 62.9 (39.1 percent), is led by junior guard Quenton DeCosey, who averages 14.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game with 20 assists against 23 turnovers. Senior guard Will Cummings averages 14.5 ppg and 6.0 rpg with 41 assists, 22 turnovers.

Another transfer, former Texas Longhorn, Jaylen Bond averages 6.2 rebounds and 6.1 points.

“Our expectations are, we are going to play a good game. That’s what I want us to do,” Dunphy said. “I want us to play our best game of the year.

Then we’ll do the same thing as we turn around after that and play Delaware State and the next game after that. The job is always the same, play your best, do a great job on the defensive end and make good decisions on offense.”

This marks KU’s second game in three days.

“It could help us. It probably will help us, the short turnaround,” Self said of preparing KU for stretches in the season in

“Playing on the road will be hard,” Self added.

“We’ve played numerous games on the road right before Christmas. Sometimes we’ve been able to get through them. Sometimes we haven’t looked very good. We’ve got to go there with the right mindset and have some momentum going into Christmas.”

In KU’s previous road games in the Self era right before Christmas break: the Jayhawks won at Ohio State, 74-66, on Dec. 22, 2012; won at USC, 6347, Dec. 22, 2011; won at California, 78-63, on Dec. 22, 2010; lost at Arizona, 84-67, on Dec. 23, 2008; and lost at Nevada, 75-61, on Dec. 21, 2003.

KANSAS WOMEN AT A GLANCE Who: Kansas (8-3) at Creighton (6-5) When: 6:05 p.m. today Where: D.J. Sokol Arena, Omaha, Nebraska Series: KU leads, 25-12

One for the road The Jayhawks have only ventured outside of Allen Fieldhouse twice this season, and neither game ended with a Kansas victory. Tonight is KU’s last chance to earn a road win in the nonconference portion of the schedule. The path through the Big 12 figures to be treacherous, with No. 3 Texas, No. 9 Baylor, No. 19 Oklahoma State and No. 22 West Virginia, to name a few, all on the horizon. Kansas has won 11 straight games against Creighton.

Streaking KU freshman Lauren Aldridge might be new to college basketball, but she is catching on quickly. The 5-foot-7 guard from Marshfield, Missouri, who has started every game, ranks fifth in the Big 12 in assists (4.4 per game), fourth in free-throw percentage (.886) and 11th in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.5).

Slumping When Chelsea Gardner has one bad game, that’s a slump.

On the Naismith Trophy Top 50 watch list, the 6-3 senior forward scored 14 points or more in each of KU’s first 10 games. Foul trouble cost her a productive outing in Game

11, when Gardner played 20 minutes but shot just 1-for-5, scored two points and totaled only two rebounds. On the season, she is averaging 17.6 points and 7.7 boards.

SUMMARY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Smith said. “They’re not big things, but just little stuff that gets magnified.”

Kansas City came in second in the league in red zone touchdown percentage but failed to cross the goal line against a Pittsburgh defense that is starting to show some of its signature snarl. Jason Worilds had two sacks and 36-year-old James Harrison added 1.5 as the Steelers found enough resolve to keep Kansas City at bay.

Charles was held to just 29 yards rushing on nine carries. While Smith completed 31 of 45 passes, almost all of them were short and intermediate routes that did not test Pittsburgh’s depleted secondary. The Steelers played without safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor, but the closest Kansas City came to the big play it was desperately needed was an overthrow by Smith with Albert Wilson wide open in the third quarter.

“We just needed to capitalize on some of the plays that were called in the red zone and we would have been in good shape,” wide receiver Dwayne Bowe said.

This time around, Kansas City will be fortunate just to get to January.

Dear Annie: A time ago, someone wrote to suggest that folks stop giving seniors perfume and bath salts and other products they don’t use.

The big suggestion was gift cards to the grocery. I took that to heart and started giving supermarket cards to all the older folks in our family.

But I’ve discovered since then that everyone, not only seniors, loves gift cards to their favorite grocery store.

I used to rack my brain to figure out what to get my husband’s office staff at Christmas and began questioning what to give people we were obligated to buy for but didn’t know that well.

My husband initially objected to gift cards “because

Annie’s Mailbox

they know how much you spent,” but the feedback has really convinced him it’s a great idea.

My hairdresser told me she loved the gift card we gave her because she would buy something “special” that she usually wouldn’t splurge on during her regular shopping.

My daughters-inlaw have a favorite

Celebrate the holidays with these shows Do Santa’s elves need a McMansion? The FYI network doubles down on diminutive, following the second season premiere of “Tiny House Nation” (8 p.m.) with “Tiny House Hunting” (9 p.m.), which features real estate agents who cater to the growing market for shrinking houses.

Both series celebrate downsizing with a vengeance, peeking into homes no larger than 500 square feet. Some of these spaces are devoted to mountain retreats or beach houses; others are for permanent residents who put the snug in snuggle.

Cable TV’s fascination with guns and remote places in the frozen North continues, with a Christmas twist.

On “Wild West Alaska: Holiday Special” (8 p.m., Animal Planet,), the gang at Wild West Guns gets ready to splurge, using Christmas bonus money, until Ken’s inability to make good on a promise threatens to darken the holiday mood.

“Wild West Alaska” is among the flurry of shows set in the 49th state. Heck, there’s an index page on Wikipedia dedicated to cataloging the 28 other pages devoted to “Television shows set in Alaska,” from “The Alaska Experiment” to “Yukon Men.” And like many things to do with the handy but self-edited Wikipedia, it’s not entirely complete. “Wild West Alaska” isn’t on the list. So make that at least 29 shows and counting!

Every night through Christmas, the FXX Network will air four-hour (eight-episode) mini marathons of Christmasthemed “Simpsons” episodes from 8 p.m. to midnight. This includes “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” (9:30 p.m.), the first full-length episode of the series, broadcast on Dec. 17, 1989.

Tonight’s other highlights

Holiday-themed skits unfold on “A Saturday Night Live Christmas” (7 p.m., NBC).

Homicide takes flight on weather balloons on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox).

“The Great Christmas Light Fight” (7 p.m., ABC) culminates with a winner.

Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea and others perform on the “iHeartradio Jingle Ball 2014” (7 p.m., CW).

BIRTHDAYS Baseball Hall-of-Famer Steve Carlton is 70. Former ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer is 69. Rock singer-musician Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick) is 66. Rhythm-and-blues singer Jordin Sparks is 25. Pop singer Meghan Trainor is 21.

department store and love gift cards to those places.

I’ve bought gift cards to restaurants, movie theaters and gas stations, and my local supermarket sells gift cards to just about any place, which makes shopping easy.

The other idea we have for gift giving is for kids. Instead of more dolls and toys, we give lessons: swimming, horseback riding, piano. Whatever the child is currently doing, we simply contribute to that endeavor. They have more than enough “stuff.” — Florida Lady

thing more personal, but when in doubt, gift cards are usually much appreciated.

Thanks for the reminder.

Dear Florida: More and more people appreciate gift cards to stores they frequent.

Of course, some people prefer some-
