KANSAS CITY

Hollywood Casino opens with a splash

By Caroline Boyer cboyer@theworldco.info

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — With the call of “Gentlemen, start your engines,” the ceremonial first craps shoot was thrown Friday, and the doors of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway opened to the public.

Within 30 minutes, there were few empty seats at the 52 table games and 2,000 electronic machines. Julie Rich, of Ottawa, was among the first through

the door, deciding to head to the bar for some video poker.

For Rich, her husband and two friends they brought along, checking out the casino on its opening day was worth taking the day off work. Rich and her husband worked in the gaming industry when they lived in Black Hawk, Colo., and she said they wanted to see what Hollywood Casino had to offer.

KU-MU rivalry going strong right up to the end

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As Kansas University and the University of Missouri get ready to meet on the basketball court for what could be one of the last times, the usual amount of sniping is going on.

The Missouri Alumni Association held a contest where fans could win tickets to tonight’s game against “kU,” as they referred to it, by entering and listing “three reasons why I’m not a Jayhawk.”

More than 2,700 people participated in the contest.

Jack E. Kinney Jr., a 1969 journalism alumnus of the school, won.

His reasons? His late Uncle Bob said the best school for a Missourian is MU, and Tigers are better than “some goofy bird.”

Other submitted reasons will be posted online later. “(Former Missouri basketball coach) Norm Stewart would not let his teams eat or sleep in Kansas. Whatever Stormin’ Norman says is good enough for me,” Kinney wrote.

Todd McCubbin, executive director of the MU Alumni Association, said the contest could “definitely ... slip into some not fun areas if we’re not careful.”

The association is also using the week to boost membership, pointing out that it has the fourth-highest membership in the conference, trailing KU. “I think it’s fair game and we have some fun with it,” McCubbin said of the rivalry.

“It has driven some membership, there’s no doubt, this week.”

Kevin Corbett, president of the KU Alumni Association, said this kind of tactic is noth-

ing new.

“It’s at least the third campaign they’ve run to try and recruit more members than the KU Alumni Association,” he said.

It hasn’t worked so far, he pointed out.

But it wasn’t all sniping this week.

Xavier Billingsley, president of the Missouri Students Association, distributed a letter to the university community asking fans to avoid committing “some act of ignorance against our opponents.”

“Keep your eyes and ears open this week,” he wrote.

“And if you see an example of insensitive fan behavior or encounter words or actions unbefitting Mizzou, make sure the students behind that ignorance know you don’t appreciate it.”

Warm winter saving us money

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

If Lawrence residents are looking for another reason to rejoice about the unseasonably warm weather and lack of snow, add taxpayer savings to the list.

At Kansas University, savings have been more than $130,000 on winter-related costs — not including heating — compared with 2011, said Jill Jess, KU spokeswoman.

Last year, KU spent $160,000 on snow and ice removal and supplies through Jan. 31, and nearly $200,000 in 2010. This year, it’s less than $30,000.

Lawrence Public Schools has also seen financial benefits because of the weather, said spokeswoman Julie Boyle. The district hasn’t yet had to touch the $23,600 set aside every year for cold-weather supplies and services.

Craig Weinaug, Douglas County administrator, said the county doesn’t yet have specific numbers for how much has been saved, but they expect heating bills to be much lower when it’s all tallied. Potentially a more significant savings, Weinaug said, is on road infrastructure, which has had to deal with less freezing and thawing, which contributes to potholes and other road damage.

Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, and scores of Republican legislators are the focus of an investigation into alleged violations of the state law that is aimed at ensuring that policy debate occur in the open, it was revealed Friday.

Acting on a complaint by the Topeka Capital-Journal, Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor opened a probe into whether dinners that Brownback hosted at his official residence, the Cedar Crest mansion, for GOP legislators were in violation of the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Shawnee County Brownback said there were no District Attorviolations. “We will completely ney Chad Taylor cooperate with any investigation, opened the inand I’m completely confident that vestigation into they will show no wrongdoing,” the meetings. he said.

Taylor said his office planned to interview legislators who attended the dinners, and probably Brownback too.

“It is going to be a painstaking process,” Taylor said.

The dispute is over a series of seven dinner meetings in January attended by only Republicans and closed to the public.

Generally, the Kansas Open Meetings Act prohibits a voting majority of a legislative body from discussing government business without providing public notice or access to the meetings. Violators of the law can face up to a $500 fine per incident.

The city of Lawrence reports a different type of benefit.

The lack of snow has meant that city crews can spend time on other maintenance projects, said Megan Gilliland, city spokeswoman.

But public officials are cautious about the savings so far.

The complaint alleges the meetings did violate KOMA. “We are aware that the governor’s office contends the meetings are social occasions, but also aware that many legislators admit that the business of the legislature was discussed in nearly all instances,” Michael Merriam, an attorney representing the newspaper, said in the complaint.

“Indeed, it is difficult to see any legislative reason for a majority of any legislative committee to meet with the governor, especially during the legislative session with the governor’s political agenda pending before such committees,” Merriam said.

Senate Republican Leader Jay Scott Emler, R-Lindsborg, said he attended one of the dinners and that Brownback essentially went over positions he outlined in his State of the State speech. Emler said there was no discussion of particular bills.

Republicans also said it has been common practice for governors to invite legislators to Cedar Crest.

But Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka, who has served in the Legislature for more than 35 years, said previous governors did not invite a majority of specific committees. For example, he said, former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would invite legislators in groups alphabetically.

Taylor, a Democrat, was asked to respond to expected criticism that the investigation was partisan in nature.

Taylor said politics had nothing to do with it. Earlier, the Kansas Republican Party issued a statement saying that Democrats were trying to distract Kansans from more important issues.

Under the law, Taylor said, since the events in question happened in Shawnee County, the investigation had to be handled by either him or Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican.

Taylor said he discussed the issue with Schmidt and it was decided Taylor would investigate because if there are any fines levied against legislators, Schmidt may have to defend them.

Monday had raised $25,000, and the casino was going to match that to give the total amount to both Sunflower House and the Kansas City, Kan., School Foundation of Excellence.

Bowyer and Kahne then threw the ceremonial first dice, and the doors opened to the public.

Janet Bimer took the opportunity to get a good look at the lights, games and layout.

“If you’ve ever been to Vegas, it looks like Vegas,” she said, nodding her head in approval.

Mary Summers, of Tonganoxie, said she begged her daughter-in-law, Cecilia Summers, of Basehor, to bring her to the casino’s opening day.

“If we can win, it’ll be really fun,” Mary Summers said.

“We thought we might win,” Cecilia Summers added. “We thought they’d have some loose slots.”

Both agreed the casino was impressive and said it was worth it to brave the opening day crowds.

Alan Thompson, table games manager, stood back and took in the scene as he kept his eye on the games.

“I was here at 6 this morning and there was almost no one here,” he said. “And I thought, ‘This is the last time we’ll ever see this place empty.’”

Thompson spent the last year going through almost 1,500 applications for dealer positions, conducting interviews and running a dealer school for more than 100 inexperienced dealers, 93 of whom were hired on at the casino. He said he was happy to get back to the business of running the games.

“All the build-up leading up to it is important, but this is what we’re good at,” he said, motioning to the craps, blackjack and roulette tables.

“It was a good learning experience opening a new facility, but once the cards start throwing and the dice start rolling, that’s when I’m at home.”

Gov. names new SRS secretary

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback appointed a social worker and former legislator Friday as secretary of the state’s largest social services agency and outlined a plan to reorganize it and two other departments as part of a larger effort to overhaul the state’s Medicaid program.

Brownback announced Friday that former state Rep. Phyllis Gilmore will lead the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, starting Monday. She’s been the director of the regional SRS office in Kansas City following 11 years as executive director of the state board regulating social workers and other mental health professionals.

Gilmore, who turns 67 today, served six years in the Kansas House as a Republican, representing an Olathe district, before becoming the top staffer at the Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board in 2000. She’s licensed as a specialist in clinical social work.

As an ex-House member, she’s likely to be less controversial than former SRS Secretary Rob Siedlecki, who resigned at the end of last year.

Siedlecki, who came to Kansas from Florida and returned there, faced criticism over his reorganization of SRS management the administration’s pursuit of faith-based social services initiatives.

The governor also released the text of an executive order that he plans to sign Monday, shrinking SRS so that it can focus on services for children and families, removing it from involvement with the $2.9 billion Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to the poor, disabled and elderly.

The same order would move services for the disabled and mentally ill into the Department on Aging. The expanded agency also will pick up some regulatory responsibilities from the Department of Health and Environment, such as licensing nursing homes and psychiatric centers.

Officer injured in wreck

BRIEFLY Man pleads guilty to illegally re-entering U.S. A Mexican national who killed a woman in a 2005 Lawrence drunken-driving crash pleaded guilty Friday morning to a federal charge of illegally re-entering the country as convicted felon.

Adan Cruz-Santos, 29, entered the plea in front of U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia, according to court records. Originally, his trial was scheduled to begin Monday.

He was deported in February 2010 after serving prison time for involuntary manslaughter and DUI convictions. He struck and killed Jodie Hatzenbihler, a 25-year-old Olathe nurse, early in the morning of April 9, 2005, as she was crossing Sixth Street after leaving the bar Cadillac Ranch. That was his second DUI conviction.

Cruz-Santos was arrested last September again in Douglas County on suspicion of drunken driving. He gave officers an alias, Alvaro Altamino-Cortez. But prosecutors discovered he was Cruz-Santos after Eve Kemple, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, compared his current mug shot to an older one. An immigration official also interviewed him, according to his federal plea agreement. He eventually pleaded no contest to his third DUI conviction for the September traffic stop, which is a felony.

He was transferred to federal custody in December after he was sentenced in Douglas County for the most recent DUI conviction.

In his federal case, Cruz-Santos faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison plus deportation again, according to the plea agreement.

there are children who are falling through the cracks of the health care system.

A Eudora police officer and a Lawrence man were injured Friday morning in a three-vehicle accident on Kansas Highway 10 near the Church Street exit.

Sgt. Tom Willis, a Eudora police spokesman, said the officer, Brandon Sharp, did not have life-threatening injuries. The accident was reported about 7:10 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of K-10 just west of the exit.

According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report released Friday afternoon, Roderick A. Cody, 37, lost control of his 1999 Chrysler car and struck the back of the Eudora police car. Sharp, 30, was outside of his vehicle on the passenger side of the police car reaching inside his passenger door when Cody struck his vehicle. The police car then knocked Sharp into the south ditch.

Sharp had parked legally on the south shoulder of K-10 as he was assisting Sheriff’s Deputy David Hardy with an earlier accident. The crash caused the Eudora police car to rear-end the sheriff’s vehicle. Hardy was sitting inside the parked vehicle

SATURDAY COLUMN

KU video doesn’t replace live speech from chancellor

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Times change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not for the better.

A recent Heard on the Hill blog

by Andy Hyland on the JournalWorld’s LJWorld.com website told of a major change at Kansas University. Hyland reported that Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little would not be delivering the annual State of the University address this year.

Instead of the address, usually delivered in Budig Hall, the annual assessment of the University in the chancellor’s eyes takes the form of an 8.5-minute video released by KU on Monday.

The blog reports that switching to a video was the chancellor’s idea.

The KU spokesman said the video has two advantages. First, it is available to all KU campuses, and, in addition, alumni and stakeholders get to watch. Secondly, it’s possible to

show the students, faculty and staff who are responsible for the stuff that’s being talked about.

The blog points out that the State of the University speech hasn’t been a long historical event, although past chancellors have used the annual faculty-staff convocation, now called the all-university convocation, to outline the chancellor’s assessment of how KU is doing and what challenges lie ahead.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, attendance has been poor at these events and has been growing poorer year by year. In fact, when chancellors have addressed the faculty, the percentage of faculty in attendance has been embarrassing. Perhaps one of the reasons Gray-Little decided a video presentation was a better idea was the likelihood that attendance at a live speech would be embarrassingly low.

“State of the University 2012” is a good show — a slick, well-produced, video that gives an excellent, thumbnail overview of the university. The precisely scripted and narrated presentation by GrayLittle is sure to be used in the upcoming capital campaign for KU. Such an effort is long overdue as KU has been far too complacent in telling its story.

COMMENTARY Granted, thousands of KU alumni, faculty, students and friends will see and hear the message — many, many times more than would have seen and heard the chancellor in a routine “state of the university” address. What would have been better, however, would be for the chancellor to

present her remarks live to a Lied Center audience. If the chancellor is eager to show the individuals responsible for positive, helpful actions or achievements on campus, she could have invited them to share the stage with her.

An inspirational, visionary message by Gray-Little along with a video in a packed Lied Center could do wonders for the university as well as for the chancellor. Lawrence area friends and supporters of the university, as well as students and faculty, want to see the chancellor in person delivering a powerful and compelling story for the school.

They like to see and judge the degree of enthusiasm of the chancellor and his or her ability to inspire and excite an audience about the university and its future.

Maybe the reason attendance has been dwindling is that chancellors have not been delivering exciting, visionary, inspiring

speeches. Chances are attendance would be up if there were reason to believe the university’s leaders could be counted on to deliver a talk that had become a “must” for faculty and students. The talk or program could be spiced up by having others, in addition to the chancellor, participating and playing a big role in telling the university’s story. The event could, and should, be used to rally support for the school. KU faculty members and students need reasons to become excited about the university and where it’s headed. Morale is not as good as it should be!

Maybe the 8.5-minute video will do the job, but something has been lost when faculty and students, alumni and friends cannot have a firsthand, in-person, ringside seat to watch and hear their chancellor in action. A short video, no matter how well done, doesn’t have the same impact.

Officers, citizens lauded for service to public safety

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

When Ronald Ivener reached the scene, the victim’s status was critical. It was up to him to administer CPR in order to save a life.

When Myrone Grady saw a little girl choking on a bite of lunch, he moved swiftly, performing the Heimlich maneuver and saving her from harm.

Officers Ivener and Grady, along with three distinguished citizens and 10 new officers, were honored Friday during a ceremony at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. Mayor Aron Cromwell and Police Chief Tarik Khatib thanked them for their service to public safety.

“We value all the work of our police department,” Cromwell said.

self-employed and his wife works full-time but they don’t have dental insurance. They started bringing their son, Calum Ochsner, 8, to the clinic this fall and were charged for services on a sliding scale fee. Calum needed some fillings and so they were able to get those done for free Friday.

“It’s great that they are providing these services,” Chad Ochsner said, adding that dental work isn’t cheap.

The clinic saw 21 children, ranging from age 4 to 14, and gave away $6,700 in services,

Ivener Grady Ivener was called out to a medical emergency in May. A 68-year-old man wasn’t breathing, and Iverner’s intervention prevented him from dying, Khatib said.

Grady, a school resource officer at South Middle School, helped a student in January 2011 quickly but with little fanfare, possibly also saving her life.

The citizen awards went to Samuel Weese, Austin Rogers and Matthew Tuckel.

Weese used his car to

Weese Rogers block a drunken driver who had an officer in his car from fleeing a parking lot in August of 2010. Khatib said he “went above and beyond that which is normally expected of a citizen” to assist the police and was crucial in helping police apprehend the suspect driver.

Rogers and Tuckel also helped contain a “combative” suspect after witnessing a burglary in March 2011.

The ceremony was also a graduation for 10 cadets: Jake

which included cleanings, fluoride treatments, exams, X-rays and restorative work.

Across town, Growing Smiles, 1425 Wakarusa Drive, participated in “Give Kids A Smile Day” for the first time.

The practice saw 14 uninsured children, ranging from age 1 to 10, and provided an estimated $5,800 in services for free.

“We wanted to honor the national day,” said Amy Hastings, scheduling and benefits coordinator. “We were really excited to be able to give them services when they didn’t have the insurance to pay for it themselves.”

The American Dental Association created the special day 10 years ago to help underserved children get rural oral

health care. Nationally, there were 9,569 dentists who supported the cause and helped an estimated 405,433 children.

Munoz said the clinic follows ADA guidelines and recommends that children see a dentist at age 1 when they get their first few teeth.

Then, they should see a dentist every six months.

“The teeth are growing just like the kid is. If the baby teeth are unhealthy then a lot of times the adult teeth are unhealthy and so they start to have problems,” he said. Munoz said he has seen 2-yearold children whose teeth have all decayed. The clinic handed out free toothbrushes, toothpaste and information about prevention.

Burke, Ashley Durazo, Nate Haig, Meagan Horvath, Dean Kemppainen, Will Machado, Stepehen Osborne, Ryan Robinson, Chris Schweer and Sheri Stites.

City Manager David Corliss talked about the “investment” made in the cadets by the department and the “expectation of return” in service to the community. Khatib said he looked forward to seeing their contributions.

Every speaker praised the work of the officers.

“In a recent survey, 90 percent of respondents said they felt safe in Lawrence,” Cromwell said. “That’s a testament to our police department’s work.”

also working on the prior accident and did not have his seat belt on, according to the highway patrol’s report, but he was not injured.

Cody, of Lawrence, was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center, and the report said it was unknown whether he wore a seat belt. Sharp was also taken to the Overland Park hospital. Both Cody and Sharp were treated and released, said Rebecca Bailey, a hospital spokeswoman.

The Eudora police car and Cody’s car were towed, but the sheriff’s vehicle was not.

As crews responded to the accident, drivers reported slow traffic on K-10 in the area during the period of heavy rain Friday morning.

The Kansas Turnpike Authority also reported crashes on Interstate 70 in the area Friday morning. A Lawrence woman, Tammy G. Hunter, 43, suffered a possible injury in a crash about 6:40 a.m. when she lost control of her westbound vehicle and struck another car. That crash occurred about eight miles west of the Lecompton interchange exit.

Take care of animals in the cold: Despite a furry coat, domesticated animals are no longer suited to withstand prolonged exposure to cold weather. As a general guideline, please remember that if the air temperature is below freezing, pets should be brought indoors. If a heated home area is not available, at the very least access to a warm garage or shed with dry bedding and out of the wind is a must.

WATER IS ESSENTIAL! Never rely on snow or ice for your animal’s drinking needs; they are not adequate. Cold weather creates very dry air, so please provide fresh water as you would during the summer.

A heated bowl may be needed. And don’t forget about your animals’ feet. Check them for salt residue, cuts and snow packed between toes. It’s best to buy deicers labeled safe for pets.

Who put “extra large” in my online profile, huh? Geez! I’ll show you extra large: as in one big ol’ extra large ball of furry love heading your way. About 9 years old, I’ve got beautiful green eyes and a short coat of brown with black stripes. I’m laid back; I’ll even roll over for you to scratch my big belly. Yes I’m XL -- I’m the biggest sweetheart you’ll ever meet … and just in time for Valentine’s Day. XOXO

Are you ready to take on this hot little diva? The name’s Chrissy, but after a frolic around the yard you can call me yours. I am a sweet American Staffordshire Terrier, just a year old, and my gorgeous brindle-and-white coat will make your knees tremble and your heart skip a beat. A shade over 40 pounds, my zest can overwhelm the young’uns, but an active family will adore me. Who can say “no” to this endlessly happy girl?

I was injured in a serious accident and needed surgery on my tail. Today I’m fully recovered, and when I’m not mugging for the camera, I’m an adorable, fun-loving kitty … a bit laid back, and happy to share my space with other cats. If you want to see smiling eyes, just run your hand over my beautiful silky coat. Stop by and see me at my temporary home, the Cat Clinic of Lawrence, 1701 Mass.

Looking for love in Lawrence: twoyear-old male, brindle and white, 55lbs, friendly American Staffordshire Terrier. I’m a fun-loving guy and would like to be your one-and-only (pet that is). Maybe it seems selfish, but I don’t like to share my love: I would like you all to myself. In the kennel I am calm and stoic, but outside I have the energy to play, jog, and roll around in the grass with you. So let me be your Beau.

My former owner dropped me off at the shelter, and now I wait for another chance. I’m about 3 years old and have a striking black and white coat. Because I’m the fearful type, I would not make for a good house cat; however, if you live outside city limits I could help you.

I’d make a great mouser if you’ve got a barn or a spot in the country where I can run free.

A Douglas County judge Friday morning ordered a 19-year-old Perry man to face a trial on aggravated child endangerment charges after being accused of choking his former girlfriend dozens of times.

District Judge Sally Pokorny rejected a defense argument the charges against Trevor J. Benedict should be dismissed because the 17-year-old girlfriend testified the choking acts were consensual and she reported she was not injured.

“Consent simply isn’t a defense when it comes to a child who is under the age of 18,” Pokorny said.

The judge also said there was evidence Benedict still put the girl’s life in danger and the girl was harmed because prosecutors had evidence he also cut her with a razor blade. Pokorny said the factual questions were for a jury to decide.

The girl testified Wednes-

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said Jordan Noble had pleaded no contest in January to aggravated assault. Thompson said prosecutors accused Noble of having an altercation with a couple on June 4 at Fro’s Hideout in Linwood and then yelling obscenities at them outside, pulling out a silver hand gun and telling them to “get out of his town or he would shoot them dead.”

Noble said at his sentencing he was under the influence of drugs at the time and did not realize the seriousness of his actions, according to prosecutors. Noble has also been charged with another incident involving a gun in Douglas County the next day.

District Judge Kay Huff in November issued a warrant for Noble’s arrest after he failed to show up for court. In the Douglas County case, he’s accused of pointing a handgun on June 5 at four Lawrence residents who were traveling in a vehicle next to him on Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Eudora.

• An 18-year-old woman was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon after she swerved her car to avoid an animal and crashed into a tree north of Baldwin City.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman, said Shelby Matusek was driving a 1994 Oldsmobile 88 south before crashing into the ditch in the 500 block of East 1700 Road, which is County Road 1055.

The crash occurred about 2:50 p.m. Friday. Firefighters extricated her from the car.

• A cyclist was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he was struck by a car turning from Iowa Street onto 15th Street at about 6 p.m.

Friday, said Lawrence police Sgt. Craig Shanks. The cyclist’s injuries were considered to be nonlife-threatening and minor.

Shanks said it was likely the cyclist was at fault but no citations had been issued as of Friday night.

day at a preliminary hearing she consented to having Benedict choke her during the several months they dated beginning in December 2010 and that she lost consciousness during one of the incidents at her Douglas County residence. A Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy also testified investigators believed she became unconscious one other time last August outside her job at a Lawrence restaurant.

The girl said she did not believe Benedict should face criminal charges, and her parents made the initial report to police, according to testimony Wednesday.

Douglas County prosecutors have charged Benedict, who was a Kansas University student at the time of his August arrest, in an adult case with two counts of aggravated child endangerment.

He also faces an aggravated child endangerment case as a juvenile because prosecutors allege some of the incidents occurred before Benedict turned 18.

Supportive Syria magnifies Iran threat WASHINGTON — Imperial regimes can crack when they are driven out of their major foreign outposts. The fall of the Berlin Wall did not just signal the liberation of Eastern Europe from Moscow.

It prefigured the collapse of the Soviet Union itself just two years later.

The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s Syria could be similarly ominous for Iran.

The alliance with Syria is the centerpiece of Iran’s expanding sphere of influence, a mini-Comintern that includes such clients as Iranian armed and directed Hezbollah, now the dominant power in Lebanon; and Hamas, which controls Gaza and threatens to take the rest of Palestine (the West Bank) from a feeble Fatah.

Additionally, Iran exerts growing pressure on Afghanistan to the east and growing influence in Iraq to the west. Tehran has even extended its horizon to Latin America, as symbolized

by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s solidarity tour through Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Cuba.

Of all these clients, Syria is the most important. It’s the only Arab state openly allied with non-Arab Iran. This is significant because the Arabs see the Persians as having had centuries-old designs to dominate the Middle East. Indeed, Iranian arms and trainers, transshipped to Hezbollah through Syria, have given the Persians their first outpost on the Mediterranean in 2,300 years.

But the Arab-Iranian divide is not

Charles Krauthammer

Human rights — decency — is reason enough to do everything we can to bring down Assad. But strategic opportunity compounds the urgency.” just national/ethnic. It is sectarian. The Arabs are overwhelmingly Sunni. Iran is Shiite. The Arab states fear Shiite Iran infiltrating the Sunni homeland through (apart from Iraq) Hezbollah in Lebanon, and through Syria, run by Assad’s Alawites, a heterodox offshoot of Shiism.

Which is why the fate of the Assad regime is geopolitically crucial. It is, of course, highly significant for reasons of democracy and human rights as well. Syrian Baathism, while not as capricious and deranged as the Saddam Hussein variant, runs a ruthless police state that once killed 20,000 in

Hama, and has now killed more than 5,400 during the current uprising.

Human rights — decency — is reason enough to do everything we can to bring down Assad. But strategic opportunity compounds the urgency. With its archipelago of clients anchored

by Syria, Iran is today the greatest regional threat — to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states terrified of Iranian nuclear hegemony; to traditional regimes menaced by Iranian jihadist subversion; to Israel, which the Islamic republic has pledged to annihilate; to America and the West, whom the mullahs have vowed to drive from the region.

No surprise that the Arab League, many of whose members are no tenderhearted humanitarians, is pressing hard for Assad’s departure. His fall would deprive Iran of an intra-Arab staging area and sever its corridor to the Mediterranean. Syria would return to the Sunni fold. Hezbollah, Tehran’s agent in Lebanon, could be next, withering on the vine without Syrian support and Iranian materiel. And Hamas would revert to Egyptian patronage.

At the end of this causal chain, Iran, shorn of key allies and already reeling from economic sanctions over its nuclear program, would be thrown back on its heels. The mullahs are already shaky enough to be making nearsuicidal threats of blocking the Strait of Hormuz. The population they put down in the 2009 Green Revolution is still seething.

reviled by the young. And its increasing attempts to shore up Assad financially and militarily have only compounded anti-Iranian feeling in the region.

It’s not just the Sunni Arabs lining up against Assad. Turkey, after a recent flirtation with a Syrian-IranianTurkish entente, has turned firmly against Assad, seeing an opportunity to extend its influence, as in Ottoman days, as protector/master of the Sunni Arabs. The alignment of forces suggests a unique opportunity for the West to help finish the job.

How? First, a total boycott of Syria, beyond just oil and including a full arms embargo. Second, a flood of aid to the resistance (through Turkey, which harbors both rebel militias and the political opposition, or directly and clandestinely into Syria). Third, a Security Council resolution calling for the removal of the Assad regime. Russia, Assad’s last major outside ally, should be forced to either accede or incur the wrath of the Arab states with a veto.

Force the issue. Draw bright lines.

Make clear American solidarity with the Arab League against a hegemonic Iran and its tottering Syrian client. In diplomacy, one often has to choose between human rights and strategic advantage. This is a rare case where we can advance both — so long as we do not compromise with Russia or relent until Assad falls.

Higher education options are many

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

Many high school seniors, along with their parents, are currently on tender hooks, anxiously scrutinizing their incoming emails and letters. They are in the midst of the college admission season, that annual rite of spring when students learn whether they have been accepted or rejected by the colleges of their choice.

This sometimes-harsh process is the gauge by which some students and their families judge their entire elementary and secondary school careers. They believe that admission is a reward for diligent and outstanding classroom efforts. And just as admission is a sign of success, rejection is a sign of failure.

Unfortunately, today there are no guarantees when it comes to entrance to many academic institutions, public or private. The number of applicants continues to grow, with the most selective colleges and universities currently accepting well under 10 percent. These odds lead to heartbreak and disappointment for deserving and gifted students. But rejection is, in no way, terminal. Far from it.

Let’s pause for a moment and put this whole college selection process into context.

Our system of higher educa-

tion is staggering in size.

In the United States, we have 4,500 colleges and universities.

They enroll more than 20 million students Budig from every conceivable location and background. They employ 3.7 million people, from faculty to maintenance workers to Heaps administrators to everything in-between. Annually, they award 800,000 associate degrees, 1.7 million bachelor’s degrees, 690,000 master’s degrees, and 70,000 doctorates.

The total cost is $460 billion.

Our system of higher education is astoundingly diverse. The 4,500 institutions range in size from a few hundred students to 60,000. They are both public and private; two-year, four-year and graduate; teaching and research; religious and secular; urban and rural; liberal and conservative. There is something for every student and every taste

whether you want to study art, business, math, English or science.

Our system of higher education is mostly wide open. Of the 4,500 institutions, only about 100 are selective (accepting less than half the applicants). These are made up of the Ivies, several flagship state universities (e.g. University of Virginia), and a relatively few small (e.g. Amherst) and large (e.g. Stanford) private schools.

In this large, diverse and open system, it is a mistake to equate selectivity with quality. While there is no question that those selective schools are fine institutions, so are many others. Some of the nation’s greatest schools, such as Ohio State and Kansas University, pride themselves in accepting students from a wide range of backgrounds. Their job, as they see it, is to serve both the elite and the non-elite. They provide a superb education, and their reputations are second to none.

Unlike many other countries, we have a place at the table for everyone — those who are younger and those who are older, those who have excelled in education and those seeking a second or even third chances. The diversity of the system is typified by our community colleges. They play a critical and multi-faceted role: bridge to four-year schools,

provider of second and third chances (remediation), trainer of skilled professionals, facilitator of lifelong learning opportunities, and much more.

One fact is paramount: Our nation’s health depends on a strong system of higher education. It is critical to our ability to meet labor market needs, support democracy, and make intellectual advancements.

“There is no substitute for college,” said Gaston Caperton, who has worked the nation’s educational vineyard for more than 12 years as president of the College Board. “An education, at many levels, is the clear pathway to meet countless needs and challenges in America.”

To those of you who are on pins and needles, we salute you for your academic achievements — most impressive. You deserve success and you will find it regardless of the campus. Let us also take our hats off to those who have entered higher education through alternate routes. You may be assured that America needs all of you and your special talents.

PUBLIC FORUM

New direction To the editor: We ask the school board to amend the charge of the Consolidation Working Group for the following reasons:

The original charge was based on inaccurate figures. Last year’s Elementary School Facility Task Force estimated that elementary schools would be at 80.3 percent capacity this year and at 83.6 percent in 5 years. More accurate data from RSP demonstrates that we currently use 86 percent of our capacity and will be at 90% capacity in 5 years. There is not capacity to consolidate six schools into four or fewer.

School closure savings come primarily from raising class sizes and firing teachers. The board and administration have repeatedly indicated small class size as a priority, especially in schools with high numbers of atrisk students. Five of the six schools considered for consolidation have significant populations of at-risk students.

Closing and consolidating schools raises class size across the district. The increase in class sizes at Broken Arrow and Sunflower as a result of the Wakarusa Valley closure is a perfect example, and contradicts the District’s stated preference for small class size.

Even with budget cuts over the past two years, the district continues to operate in the black.

The Consolidation Working Group has worked tirelessly to address the charge given them, but if the school board acts without amending the charge, the results may do lasting damage to business, personal, and community relationships. Let’s strongly consider whether pushing forward with a flawed charge is the right direction to take for our children and our community.

Antlers get one last chance to rattle KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

MU proof numbers mislead Sabermetricians attempt to reduce baseball to a series of numbers that define the relative strengths and weaknesses of ballplayers.

Mathematical geniuses, not ex-ballplayers, being trusted to evaluate talent? Not even Rod Serling saw that one coming.

He might have thought about writing a “Twilight Zone” script on it, but probably figured it was too far-fetched for science fiction. Serling, no doubt, figured that everyone knows figures lie and liars figure.

A Moneyballer might argue that a player who leads the league in outfield assists has a really strong arm. In contrast, a scout who actually prefers to watch a ballplayer work his craft in a game instead of studying numbers, would know a rag-armed outfielder often leads the league in assists because so many runners run wild on him that he’s bound to throw out some of them.

In general, though, numbers capture a baseball player’s value better than a cager’s.

Basketball involves five parts moving in concert with individual match-up elements figuring into the equation.

Every baseball play starts with a pitcher battling a hitter. The events that flow from that are important, but secondary to the initial confrontation.

One particular number on the Missouri stat sheet illustrates just how powerfully basketball numbers mislead.

First-year Missouri coach Frank Haith, off to a terrific start, uses this seven-man rotation, listed in order of their field-goal percentages: Ricardo Ratliffe (.751), Steve Moore (.528), Kim English (.512), Michael Dixon (.447), Marcus Denmon (.441), Matt Pressey (.428) and Phil Pressey (.394).

Any mathematician worth his slide rule can tell you that Phil Pressey, Matt’s brother, Paul’s son, drags down the team’s season shooting percentage to .498, which nonetheless leads the Big 12. After all, without Phil’s 175 shot attempts, the Tigers would be shooting .515 from the field.

That’s what the figures say.

They lie. That figures.

Ratliffe’s high shooting percentage is a testament to his ability to catch what’s thrown to him. Easy shots are created for him because English, who plays power forward, is shooting .495 from threepoint range. As Kansas coach Bill Self pointed out, following English to the three-point line removes the double-team against Ratliffe. And everyone gets better shots because Phil Pressey penetrates to collapse the defense and is so adept at finding the open man.

“They’re better off the bounce than any team we’ve played this year, no question,” Self said of the Tigers. “Matt Pressey’s having a really good year, no question. Denmon, Player of the Year candidate in our league, no question. Dixon, unbelievable off the bench, arguably as good a sixth man as there is around. And of course, Kim’s having a good year.

“But little Phil Pressey’s still the guy that drives the bus, and he makes plays with his speed that are very hard to coach.

He’s good at finishing himself, but until you watch a lot of tape, I don’t think you really appreciate how fast he is.”

Statistics reveal Phil Pressey leads the Big 12 in assists and steals. They don’t show that he also is the main reason Missouri leads the Big 12 in fieldgoal percentage.

COLUMBIA, MO. — Since 1976, there has been one constant in the Kansas-Missouri men’s basketball games played in Columbia, Mo. That’s the presence of MU’s loud — some might call it obnoxious — student cheering section known as “The Antlers.”

The students — some of the males in the group wear dresses and high heels to the games — have gained notoriety throughout the years, most notably for phoning KU players and coach-

“One thing Missouri’s administration never took any responsibility for ... that group of Antlers was completely out of hand,” former KU coach Ted Owens said.

“They would call you at your hotel and wake you and say terrible things, and their administration never did anything about it. And they were awful at the game. Riding the other team and the other coach is certainly a part of the game you expect, but they let it completely get out of hand.

“Some of those groups are funny and clever. They were neither funny or clever,” added Owens, KU’s coach from 1964 to ’83 whose teams went 26-20 versus the Tigers.

There have been no horror stories emanating from the KU camp regarding Antler tales thus far this season.

“I haven’t heard from them.

My number’s not out there, so I don’t think I’ll hear from them,” said Travis Releford, KU’s junior forward out of Kansas City, Mo.

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR BRETT FRANTZ, LEFT, TAKES A SHOT TO THE CHIN as he drives past Shawnee Mission North’s Jordan Thompson. The Firebirds beat the Indians, 63-50, on Friday at FSHS.

Firebirds complete sweep of SM North

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Free State High coach Chuck Law is beginning to see what a composed version of his team looks like.

Thanks to stingy defense and a strong shooting night, Free State controlled Shawnee Mission North in a 63-50 victory on Friday night at FSHS gym.

“When we take shots that are within ourselves, we’re pretty good,” Law said. “We talked

about it at the end of the game. If we can eliminate the crazy, we’ve got a chance to be a good team.”

The Firebirds excelled defensively, limiting North’s quick guards by constantly switching up zone defenses.

The Indians, who were often able to penetrate and get easy looks against Free State’s man defense, looked timid when trying to attack the 1-3-1 and 2-3 setups.

North finished with 17 turnovers and made just 41 percent of its shots (20 of 49).

Free State, which built a 48-30 fourth-quarter lead, had that advantage trimmed to 53-44 with 4:42 left following a 14-5 North run.

Firebirds senior guard Brett Frantz helped settle his team down at a crucial time. Following a Gabe Patterson two, Frantz finished off consecutive press breaks with 10foot jumpers over defenders.

“Coming down, if I see space, I know I can make that,” Frantz said. “I make it in practice all the time. That’s my shot; I like the mid-range.”

Frantz’s shots were part of a 10-1 Free State spurt that pushed the lead back to 18 with 1:35 left.

Free State made 26 of its 52 field goals (50 percent).

Frantz said that the team found its identity and started playing better following the McPherson Tournament two weeks ago.

“Everybody on the team was trying to do something they’re not best at,” Frantz said. “That would lead to turnovers. That Please see FSHS, page 4B

Lions get swept by Lancers

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

PRAIRIE VILLAGE — Just when Lawrence High’s boys basketball season seemed to be on a successful path, the Lions hit a detour Friday night at Shawnee Mission East.

After going 3-1 against top-10 teams in its previous four games, LHS dropped a road game, 5852, to the unranked Lancers.

Given the Lions’ recent run of success, coach Mike Lewis couldn’t help but feel flummoxed.

“It was a dud,” Lewis said of

the loss. “Our guys just weren’t tough enough in a number of different ways. We let things get to us, we were distracted, and we probably, in hindsight, could’ve played more aggressively the whole game.”

Though Lawrence (8-6) struggled to score points for long stretches in the first half, an energetic outburst late in the fourth quarter nearly allowed it to pull off a substantial comeback.

SME (8-6) had built a 12-point lead midway through the fourth before the Lions changed their offensive personality and took

a more threatening approach.

With the help of some backcourt pressure, Lawrence started forcing turnovers and finding easier shots.

Senior Logan Henrichs picked off a Lancers pass out of the press and took it to the hoop for a layup to get the surge going with just less that three minutes to go. Junior sub Jake Mosiman then drained two three-pointers in the next minute, the second Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo coming after junior guard Shane Willoughby secured a critical KJ PRITCHARD (14) COLLIDES with a Shawnee Mission East defender. offensive rebound.

UConn’s Calhoun to take medical leave STORRS, CONN. (AP) — University of Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun, who missed three games earlier this season because of NCAA sanctions, is taking an indefinite medical leave of absence because of back problems.

The Hall of Fame coach of the defending national champions, who turns 70 in May, has been suffering for several months from

spinal stenosis, a spinal condition that causes him severe pain and hampers mobility. “I had back pain like never before last summer, thought it was back spasms,� he told the Associated Press on Friday. “I saw a neurologist and he told me about scoliosis, stenosis and other things and that there could be things like a bone spur and that I could probably need something done at

some point. I went for the physical therapy and it worked, but it started to lock up sometimes recently and it was worse.�

George Blaney, the team’s associate head coach, said Calhoun began feeling pain in his legs and rear end during this week’s road trip to Georgetown. “When we got off the plane, he really had trouble getting in the car and going home,� he said.

Blaney will lead the team in Calhoun’s absence. The Huskies (14-7, 4-5 Big East) have lost four games in a row and fell out of the Top 25 for the first time in 28 weeks.

They play host to Seton Hall today before going to Louisville on Monday.

The school confirmed that Calhoun would miss at least those two games.

Pats, Giants embraced their changes

Goodell: NFL to increase Thursday games

San Jose Mercury News

They’re the same teams, with the same coaches and quarterbacks, and they’ll wear the same uniform colors they did four years ago.

Tom Brady and the Patriots will be in their home blues in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday in Indianapolis; Eli Manning and the New York Giants will be in their road whites.

It will look like Super Bowl XLII, Feb. 3, 2008, all over again, for a flash.

But the current Patriots and Giants are different, too. Different calibrations, different schemes, different sensibilities, very different rosters.

That’s the story of this rematch — these franchises kept their foundations yet frantically evolved and adapted on the margins and beyond.

They had to, and they knew they had to. You can’t remain the same. You can’t hold onto sentimental favorites and dusty traditions.

You move forward and make tough decisions, or you’re going to get pummeled.

That’s why Bill Belichick’s Patriots and Tom Coughlin’s Giants are back in the Super Bowl.

Look at the Bay Area, and it’s clear that the 49ers and Raiders (finally) are moving forward and making real-world decisions, too.

But first, a look at the changes to the Super Bowl contestants from four years ago (when the Giants pulled the massive upset, 17-14) . . .

One example: None of the four players who scored touchdowns in Super Bowl 42 — New England’s Laurence Maroney and Randy Moss and the Giants’ David Tyree and Plaxico Burress — are still on the two teams.

Another example: Only 23 players from the two current rosters remain from the 106 on the rosters four years ago — seven Patriots and 16 Giants.

Just from the 2007 regular-season core, the Patriots had Moss, Richard Seymour, Asante Samuel, Mike Vrabel and Tedy Bruschi — all gone.

And the Giants had Burress, Michael Strahan, Amani Toomer, Jeremy Shockey, Kevin Boss and Gibril Wilson — all gone.

Coughlin and Belichick have built around Manning and Brady, then adjusted, changed, and moved on. It all changes, every year. You can’t hold on to the past. “We won a lot of games with those (players) in the 2003-07 stretch in there, but it doesn’t last forever in football,�

Belichick said in Indianapolis this week. “Somewhere along the line, young players come in, and old players move on. . . . Some players we’ve drafted, and other players we’ve brought in. However they got here, it doesn’t really matter. “Look, this is a young man’s game.�

In 2007, the Patriots were a long-ball passing attack featuring Moss; now Brady does his damage throwing over the middle to tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

And the Patriots were the fourthranked defense in the 2007 season; when that unit started aging, Belichick quickly dispatched many stalwarts and went experimental, including the use of offensive players in key defensive spots.

New England’s defense ranked 31st this regular season but has held up in the playoffs.

On the flip side, the 2007 Giants were a plodding, run-based offense in 2007, with only the 21st-ranked pass attack.

But this season the Giants were the fifth-ranked pass attack and last-ranked rushing game, almost wholly reliant on Manning’s arm.

With the 49ers this season, change was a big theme, and separating from the past was a subtext.

You have to adapt. There can’t be sacred cows or permanent playing styles.

You have to be willing to cut off certain things and move to others. You can honor the past . . . but it’s more of an honor to everybody when you actually win.

INDIANAPOLIS — Sorry, Los Angeles. The only NFL expansion happening anytime soon is to next season’s schedule of Thursday night games.

During his annual Super Bowl news conference, commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday there hasn’t been any discussion about adding to the league’s 32 teams, and indicated he’s not too keen about the idea of shifting a franchise, either. “We have not talked about expansion in the league at all. It has not been on our agenda. It is not something we’ve focused on with our membership.

And I don’t see that in the Goodell foreseeable future,� Goodell said. “We want to keep our teams where they are. We believe that’s healthier for the league in the long term.

We’re working to get stadiums built and make sure we do whatever we can to make sure those teams are successful in those communities.�

Los Angeles, the second-largest market in the U.S., has been without an NFL team since the Rams and Raiders both left after the 1994 season. “We would like to be back in Los Angeles, if we can do it correctly,� Goodell said.

He announced that every club will appear on prime-time TV in 2012, thanks in part to a new slate of Thursday games that now will be scheduled from Week 2 through Week 15.

NBC will air a game on Thanksgiving night; the other 12 Thursdays will go on the NFL Network, which aired eight games in 2011. “We think it’s great for the fans, for the teams — and great for the network,� Goodell said.

responded on Twitter by saying that Manning had not been cleared by the team’s doctors — causing yet another stir during Indy’s first Super Bowl week.

Levin completed a first-round 65 in the morning and was 14 under overall.

Harrison Frazar was 6 under for the round and 11 under overall with three holes left at TPC Scottsdale when play was suspended because of darkness. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland was at even par after two rounds of 71.

KU women hope to open second half hot

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nine games in and with nine games to go, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team opens the second half of Big 12 Conference play at 7 tonight, when it travels to Texas A&M to take on the 18th-ranked Aggies at Reed Arena in College Station, Texas.

The Jayhawks opened conference play by winning four of their first five games, but have lost three of their last four. They will take a 5-4 league record into tonight’s rematch with A&M, and KU coach Bonnie Henrickson insists that her team won’t be thinking about what was,

what could have been or even what should have been.

“You really gotta get your blinders on and think one day at a time,” Henrickson said.

“Spending any time looking ahead or looking backwards … the only thing you can control is when you’re in the moment and working and trying to get better. If you get away from that, then you’re gonna lose time that you should be dialed in and trying to do what you can to win.”

Of course, part of what goes into preparing to win involves a certain amount of looking back, as in watching hours and hours of game film, both from the last time you faced a team you’re about to play and from all the games

they’ve played since you last faced them. “ Y o u learn a lot SECOND from your GO-AROUND first game, obviously,” Who: Kansas Henrickson (16-5 overall, said of KU’s 5-4 Big 12) vs.

76-65 loss to Texas A&M Texas A&M (15-5, 6-3) on Jan. 20. “ T h e r e When: 7 towere a lot night of things Where: Colin that one lege Station, that we Texas should’ve been able to control and we didn’t, so it’ll be good to clean up those areas.”

FREE STATE SENIOR JACKIE GARCIA, LEFT, AND JUNIOR ABBEY CASADY, RIGHT, WORK to pull the ball away from Shawnee Mission North’s Courtney Hughes. Free State won, 46-31, Friday at FSHS. “It’s kind of taking on its own identity, but it’s pretty effective,” Duncan said. “Our kids are getting really good at understanding when to trap and when to run and jump and when to play it straight up.”

The Free State girls flustered yet another opponent with their one-of-a-kind defense Friday, forcing 26 Indians turnovers, which included at least six giveaways in every quarter.

Though the Firebirds use only one full-court press, it often looks different throughout the span of one game.

“It’s very hard to scout,” Duncan said. “Certainly, we work on it in practice, and it’s not like we’re just completely

saying, ‘Go play helter-skelter.’

But we’re giving the kids a lot of freedom to make their reads defensively. And a key component is being aggressive.”

Though Free State made just 33 percent of its shots, it was able to extend its lead by staying sound defensively.

That included limiting speedy North guard India Johnson to just three points on 1-for-6 shooting.

“They were all really quick, but they were all really right-handed, so we just forced them left and got up and pressured them,” Free State senior guard Jackie Garcia said. “We could trap them a lot, so that was good.”

Kennedy Kirkpatrick led Free State with 16 points, with half of those coming in the fourth quarter. Lynn Robinson added 14 points, while Scout Wiebe contributed seven off the bench.

The Firebirds have won six straight games.

we’re blessed to have another opportunity to get them back and square things up,” junior guard Monica Engelman said.

“We’re excited. We’re motivated.”

Kansas trails the all-time series with Texas A&M 10-7, but the record is 4-4 in games played in College Station.

The only criticism Law had for his team offensively was its turnovers. The Firebirds finished with 15 after giving it away seven times in the fourth quarter.

“We go through stretches — whether it’s 30 seconds here or two minutes at different stretches — where the crazy comes in,” Law said.

“We get out of sorts, and we can’t play that way.”

Frantz led the Firebirds, posting 19 points on 8-for-13 shooting. Cole Moreano and Cameron Dabney also added double figures with 11 points each.

Free State has won two straight for the first time since the first two games of the season (Dec. 6 and 9).

“I think we’re going to do some things here in the last month,” Law said. “I feel good about the direction we’re going.”

Added Frantz: “This is just getting us momentum. I feel like we can win five or six in a row from now.”

Jayhawks were hot and were looking for a signature win to help validate their positioning near the top of the conference standings. Today, Henrickson said her players were not even thinking about standings any more.

“What’s that gonna do?

How’s that gonna help you,” Henrickson said. “(We’ll) worry about fixing the mistakes we made against Texas A&M the first time.”

Texas A&M has won three of four games since facing Kansas and will take on a KU squad that not only is interested in snapping a two-game losing streak, but also in revenge.

“We’re a little bit bitter that we lost at home, and

After another offensive rebound and put-back by Anthony Buffalomeat and a drive to the basket by Willoughby, Lawrence was down just 51-47 with a minute to play.

Said Henrichs: “I don’t think we even realized we were so close. We kind of felt down the whole game.”

After the Lancers hit one of two free-throw attempts, which happened six times in the fourth quarter, senior Troy Willoughby slashed to the paint for a layup, and the Lions trailed 52-49 with 44 seconds remaining.

Lewis said the furious final minutes from LHS were a direct result of playing with a different mind-set.

“Sometimes when you’re down like that, you play a lot looser because you’re down and you don’t have anything to lose,” the coach said.

The Lancers hit three more free throws before Lawrence scored its final points of the night on a three-pointer by Henrichs, who finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, with 13 seconds on the clock.

The senior’s pull-up jumper from long range got Lawrence back within three, but SME junior Connor McGannon made one free throw after getting fouled in the backcourt to make it a twopossession game.

LHS senior KJ Pritchard was able to draw a foul on a shot attempt from behind the arc with 3.6 ticks left on the clock, but he missed all three of his free-throw tries.

Beyond that, foul trouble for junior forward Carolyn Davis forced her to play well below her season average for minutes and allowed the Aggies to pound the ball into forwards Kelsey Bone and Adaora Elonu, who finished with 18 and 17 points to lead A&M. KU fell behind 10-2 and never cut A&M’s lead to fewer than eight in the second half. At the time, the

FAREWELL TO COLUMBIA

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

‘I will miss the rivalry’

By Ryan Robertson Special to the Journal-World

Let me start by saying I’m a “Big Eight Guy.” I was born in Oklahoma and cheered for the Billy Tubbs’ Sooners. I went to OSU football games and watched Barry Sanders live.

My parents met at K-State, where my dad played football. I went to high school and live in Missouri. And, obviously, I played basketball at Kansas.

I love the Big Eight. I miss the Big Eight. Things were simpler, and rivalries were easy to figure out. I have to be honest; I am not even sure who is in the new Big 12. West Virginia?? I hate conference realignment and the destruction of centuryold rivalries.

People ask me all the time living in Missouri what I think about Missouri leaving the Big 12 and also want to know what I think about the KU-MU rivalry ending.

My answer is always the same.

I am sad. I am sad for the

same reason that I watched my beloved St. Louis Cardinals lose Albert Pujols to the Anaheim Angels. I am not mad at Albert for leaving. I am just sad that he doesn’t get to sit at the same table with Stan Musial and Bob Gibson as Cardinal legends any more.

That is how I feel about Mizzou leaving the Big 12 and ending the KU-MU rivaly. I actually don’t blame Missouri for leaving the conference. In fact, I wonder if KU was asked to leave for the SEC what we might say or do?? Wouldn’t a game EVERY year at Rupp Arena vs.

Kentucky be fun to watch?!

But I digress. The MissouriKansas game is something that ALL players from both teams each year circle on the schedule and look forward to playing.

In my four years at KU, we had a record of 124-24, won three conference titles, three conference tournament titles and were ranked No. 1 in the country for weeks at a time. Missouri, on the other hand, was inferior. No

conference titles, no tournament wins, and barely even sniffed the top 25. Yet in my career, KU’s record vs. Missouri was 5-4. A rivalry. Yes, it is cliché, but KU-MU is the definition of a rivalry, and when we played each other records truly didn’t matter.

Maybe my time now living in Missouri is getting to me or maybe I am just older and more mature, but I miss Norm Stewart. I realize he and my family had “our moments,” but if I saw him at dinner or at a bar I would like to buy him a beer. I think after all the battles we had vs. his teams what is left in my mind is respect. Quin Snyder was a disaster. Mike Anderson was boring, and dare I say Frank Haith is … nice.

I hear coach Haith on the radio once a week in St. Louis, and he sounds sincere and like someone I would like to play for. My guess is that he will be at Missouri for a long time. A rivarly needs a villain, though, and for KU fans coach Stewart filled that role perfectly. He didn’t shake

my hand for 31⁄2 years when we played against them.

It wasn’t until my senior year before he extended his hand to me and said “good game.” I think Bill Self is the best coach in America, and KU is lucky to have him.

Wouldn’t it be fun to see a Bill Self-coached team play a Norm Stewart-coached team one more time?? I get chills thinking about the crowd screaming “Sit Down Norm!”

Kansas’ record vs Missouri in basketball all-time is 171-94. We have dominated our biggest rivals and in the process won 54 conference championships and five national championships. I hope in the two games we play Missouri this year we beat the heck out of them and move closer to winning our eighth consecutive conference title. But I will miss Mizzou. I will miss the rivalry. I miss the Big Eight.

Mizzou memories not all pleasant

By C.B. McGrath Special to the Journal-World

KU versus Mizzou. Where do I begin? I don’t know if I will be politically correct with this topic even though I have been away from the rivalry for almost nine years. I have a ton of memories from pretty much every perspective.

My two most vivid memories as a fan were going to a KU-Mizzou game in the fieldhouse as a kid. Sadly I have not been to a game in the fieldhouse as a fan as an adult.

Anyway, Lee Coward and the Tigers came to town, and I loved when he did anything because everyone in unison would yell “COW-ARD COW-ARD.” The other one was the individual performance of Anthony Peeler.

I was sitting on the baseline, and he put on a show.

It was the Kansas team vs.

Peeler this day. We won, but I was very impressed with him, even though he was a Tiger (Peeler had 43 points in KU’s 97-89 victory on March 8, 1992).

As a player, I have a lot more memories, obviously.

They are all vivid. Most take place in the Hearnes. It was not a kind place to us, and the Antlers are something we all will never forget.

They were vicious, unkind and downright wrong with some of the things they said and put on posters. We lost three of my four years as a player in that place, and all of them came down to the last possession.

Our only loss in the regular season in 1996-97 was in double-overtime. I can still picture the ball rolling between Jacque’s (Vaughn) legs and Paul O’Liney picking it up and hoisting a prayer that was answered to win that game. I remember looking into the stands and this 40-year-old Mankind (Cactus Jack for you WWE fans) look-a-like was giving us the choke symbol with quite a few F-bombs and fingers. Typical of that place.

One of the biggest mo-

ments of my playing days was the game against MU that we were celebrating the 100 years of Kansas Basketball.

What pressure we all felt to win that game in front of all the players/legends that came back to town to celebrate the great history and tradition they all helped build. It was a hard-fought game, and we were in control most of the game until they made a little run late in the second half. They cut it to three with about five minutes left. I passed the ball inside to Raef LaFrentz, and he scored to put us up five, then I stole the inbound pass and fed Paul Pierce for an and-1 to put us up eight. They didn’t get close again, and we all enjoyed the victory.

As a member of the coaching staff, I was ecstatic to see Ryan Robertson win his senior year at the Hearnes Center. For all the abuse he had taken over the previous trips to Columbia was sweet justice for him. And lastly in 2002 when we put on a clinic in the fieldhouse. Both teams were ranked and we got off to a fast start. It was one of the loudest games I can remember at the fieldhouse in all of my time spent in there.

What a great night that was!

Kirk Hinrich was all over the place and had some big baskets to ignite the early runs.

Those are just a few memories I have of the rivalry.

It is sad to see it come to an end after all of these years.

There will be other rivalries for the Jayhawks but nothing as heated as this one. I never liked a single player from any of the Missouri teams that we played against, and it was fun to beat Norm Stewart. He was great for the rivalry because he was easy to dislike, and you knew the feeling was mutual. I really don’t care where Mizzou ends up, but I will miss the chance for the Jayhawks to give them a much-deserved “L!” — C.B. McGrath is a University of North Carolina assistant basketball coach from Topeka, who played guard at KU from 1994-98

“You can tricked by anybody,” added Releford, who has been cautious with his digits because of The Antlers. “Somebody says, ‘Oh, hey, can I have your number?’ Then the next thing you know the whole school’s got it. You have to know who you are giving it out to.

“We told them (freshmen) earlier, ‘Don’t get on Twitter or Facebook giving out your number to one of those good-looking girls. Don’t fall for that.’ That’s how it’s happened in the past. You’ve got to be smart.”

Releford said The Antlers haven’t targeted him over the other KU players, just because he’s from Missouri.

“Not really,” he said. “If they do, I don’t hear it. They give the team more (grief) than they do me individually.”

The MU fans will be at a fever pitch tonight, not just because the game is for first place in the Big 12, but the fact it likely will be the final KU-MU game ever played in Columbia, with MU off to the SEC next season.

“It sucks that the rivalry won’t be there guaranteed every year, but we’re not going in like, ‘Oh, this is our last chance playing them here.

We’ve got to really win,’ or anything like that,” Releford said. “We’re just going in like, ‘We’ve got to win the Big 12, and to win the Big 12, we’ve got to win on the road.’ And this is another road game we’ve got to play.”

As far as the on-court match-up, it boils down to a battle between MU’s four-guard lineup (Marcus Denmon, Kim English, Phil Pressey, Matt Pressey, with 6-foot-8 Ricardo Ratliffe at the pivot) and KU’s more traditional three wings and two big men (6-10 Thomas Robinson, 7-foot Jeff Withey).

“We see it as them having to match up with us instead of us having to match up with them. That’s our mind-set going into the game,” Withey said.

“We’ve got to guard their lineup, and they’ve also got to guard ours,” Releford noted. “We’re not going to change what we’ve been doing to play their style of ball.

There are going to be times where I have to play the 4 because, every game, guys get in foul trouble. But going into the game, we’re not like, ‘Oh, Travis, you’ve got to play 4 this game, because they’re small.’ No. We’ve got to guard them, and they’ve got to guard us. They are fast and quick, and they can all shoot.”

Noted coach Bill Self: “I’ll tell our guys, it (height) is an advantage. They’ll tell their guys, it (speedy guard play) is an advantage for them. We have to wait and see how it all plays out.”

Self realizes it’s tougher to win on the road than at home but doesn’t believe the MU fans will decide this one.

“It’s going to be crazy, but people say it’s crazy in here (Allen Fieldhouse), too. Obviously the home court can play a factor, but I don’t think the verbiage that comes out of individuals’ mouths — the fans — will play a factor.”

After today, The Antlers

will never have a chance to play a factor again.

KU has said the two teams will not be scheduling each other anytime soon, most certainly never in a homeand-home situation.

“I hated going to Columbia. They had the most classless fans,” noted former KU guard Michael Lee. “They spit on us, threw water, soda, cans. We would walk out for warm-ups and see our social security number on a piece of poster board. The best wins were always in Columbia.”

KU, by the way, is 171-94 all-time versus MU, 65-53 in Columbia. KU is 4-3 in Mizzou Arena after going 14-18 in Hearnes Center.

O

MU coach Frank Haith to the Columbia Tribune: “I think it’s a great rivalry. I’m excited about being a part of this thing this weekend.

You look across the country, a lot of the talk of us not being able to play is based on us being in a different league.

But you’ve got Clemson and South Carolina, they’re not in the same league. You’ve got Georgia-Georgia Tech; Florida-Florida State. A lot of those teams are not in the same league, but they still play. Hopefully in time we can rekindle that.”

English said the Tigers respect KU’s rich hoops tradition, adding to the AP, “But we’re living in the here and now. Respect their players, really look up to them, respect their coach. That’s about it.”

“We cannot win any games except for Kansas, and we had a great season,” Missouri forward Ricardo Ratliffe said of the importance of the KUMU games in the eyes of some fans.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, some dear friends got married. We threw them an engagement party at our home and purchased a lovely gift for their wedding. We also offered the use of our home as a “staging area” for the wedding and reception. anniesmailbox@comcast.net Due to a family emergency at the last minute, we were unwas assured it was being able to attend the wedding. cleaned up.

Everyone may be doing the best they can, but it is simply not adequate. Could you or someone in your family take these children into your home? Your brother might be relieved to know they are with a responsible caregiver.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Do tweens still want to know ‘how to rock’?

The new tween musical-fantasy sitcom “How to Rock” (7:30 p.m., Nickelodeon) proves that some stories and themes never go out of style. Mean girls just need a nudge to become nice, and ugly ducklings just have to get past freshman year to become swans.

On a side note, I just wonder if kids still want to “rock”? Or if the word “rock” has any meaning left as either a noun or a verb. After all, it’s going on 60 years since Bill Haley invited juvenile delinquents to “Rock Around the Clock,” and almost four decades since Elton John reflected, “I remember when rock was young,” and the Who sang, “Rock is dead.” Heck, it’s conceivable that most viewers of this show weren’t even born when Jack Black ran a “School of Rock” in 2003. And even then, Black’s character seemed to be stuck in a “Wayne’s World” all his own. ‘‘Rock” begins with an up-tempo performance by The Perfs, a musical group and social clique of cruel, self- absorbed girls. They’re dreadful and we’re supposed to hate them, especially Kacey Simon (Cymphonique Miller), because they taunt everyone “beneath” them in the school cafeteria and because all they do is “shop and pose” at the mall.

Kacey’s reign as the alpha monstress ends when fate afflicts her with bad eyes and crooked teeth, requiring glasses and braces. We’re told that Kacey personally redesigned the girls’ bathroom to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, but it never occurs to her to get contacts. Logic isn’t the lesson here.

The Perfs dump Kacey faster than you can say “Ugly Betty,” forcing her to hang out with another band, Gravity 5, consisting of slightly nerdy guys and a sullen girl bassist who are too shy to know they’d be cool if they tried. Soon, it’s hugs all around when Kacey learns the errors of her snobby ways and lightens up.

While I can see how this story might carry a slight made-for-tweens TV movie, it’s hard to see how far a series can travel on the fumes of such a thin story.

On the other hand, the show’s theme song is “Only You Can Be You,” so complexity may not be the goal here.

Tonight’s other highlights

Shia LaBeouf stars in the 2007 blow’em-up “Transformers” (7 p.m., ABC).

Like a lot of loud, stupid, annoying spectacles, it exists solely to keep its viewers from thinking for hours on end.

On the eve of the big game, “NFL Honors” (8 p.m., NBC) reflects on the season’s big plays and best players.

Two dazed astronauts (Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster) wake up with an uneasy feeling in the 2009 shocker “Pandorum” (8 p.m., Syfy).

Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): country club killings.

Channing Tatum hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Bon Iver.

Series notes Murder on the gridiron on “Harry’s Law” (7 p.m., NBC) ... On back-to-back episodes of “Cops” (Fox): Joy Street (7 p.m.), Crescent Carnival (7:30 p.m.) ...

The whole ethnic-misunderstanding enchilada on “Rob” (7:30 p.m., CBS).

Dear Annie: My brother lives 100 miles away from his job. He says he has a good job, but our family strongly suspects he is dealing drugs again. He has two children with an ex-girlfriend who is bipolar and not taking her medication.

The children had a weeklong break from school, and my brother left them with the ex-girlfriend’s sister. She is a single mother with eight children of her own. She is also lazy and nasty. When I visited the kids, all the children came outside. One teenage child smelled strongly of marijuana.

Another had crusting body sores all over. My niece told me there was dog poop on the boys’ bedroom floor, and I could see clothes piled up to the windows.

My brother left his children in this same home a year ago, and when my family found out, we threatened to call Child Protective Services. He promised to get them out of that horrid environment and begged us to give him time.

When I saw that the kids were back in that house and that nothing had changed, I called the police.

Afterward, my brother phoned, angry that I’d called the authorities before speaking to him. He said he’d inspected the house prior to sending the kids there and

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Komen drops plan to cut grants

By David Crary Associated Press

NEW YORK — For leaders of the nation’s pre-eminent breast-cancer charity, it was a firestorm they didn’t see coming — and couldn’t withstand.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Friday abandoned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood. The dramatic retreat followed a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and — perhaps most tellingly — among Komen affiliates who openly rebelled, suggesting the leadership had bowed to antiabortion pressure.

“We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said.

As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast-cancer screenings because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups.

“We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political,” Komen said Friday. “That is what is right and fair.”

As a result, Komen said, “we will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants.”

Komen officials were unavailable for further comment on how they came to change their plans. There was no indication that the organization had come under pressure from its corporate partners. But many of Komen’s own affiliates nationwide had objected to cutting off the grants, which totaled $680,000 in 2011. An Aspen, Colo., affiliate announced Thursday that it would defy the new rules and continue grants to its local Planned Parenthood partner, while all seven of Komen’s California affiliates said they “strongly opposed” the planned cutoff.

In addition, Komen was inundated with negative comments via emails, on Twitter and on its Facebook page.

Many of the messages conveyed a determination to halt gifts to Komen — organizer of the popular Race for the Cure events — because of the decision.

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood was reporting an outpouring of donations, large and small, that totaled $3 million between Tuesday evening and Friday afternoon. Planned Parenthood said the funds would be used to expand its breast health services, which already provide nearly 750,000 breast exams each year.

Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, said in a telephone news conference that she was astonished by the flow of donations and the often emotional support expressed for her organization on the Internet.

“This was simply a story, when it broke, it just caught fire,” she said. “This kind of political bullying — folks are just saying, ‘Enough.’”

Anti-abortion groups had pressed Komen for years to end its partnership with Planned Parenthood, even to the extent of recalling pink Bibles that were benefiting Komen and boycotting its Race for the Cure events.

Abortion foes applauded earlier this week when the funding cutoff was reported, and were dismayed by Friday’s turnaround.

“The Susan G. Komen Foundation has caved in to the demands of radical abortion apologists,” said Douglas R. Scott, Jr., of Life Decisions International, which had been mulling whether to remove Komen from a “boycott list” of Planned Parenthood partners.

Jobless rate drops to 8.3%

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a longawaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January — across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years.

The job growth was the fastest since last March and April. Before that, the last month with stronger hiring, excluding months skewed by temporary census jobs, was March 2006.

The unemployment rate came down by two notches from December. It has fallen five months in a row, the first time that has happened since 1994, two economic booms and two recessions ago.

“The economy is growing stronger,” President Barack Obama said. “The recovery is speeding up.”

Indeed, the report Friday from the Labor Department seemed to reinforce that the nation is entering a virtuous cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending.

On Wall Street, where investors had already driven stocks to their best start in 15 years because of optimism about the economy, the jobs report triggered a spasm of buying.

The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 156.82 points, its second-best showing this year, and finished the day at 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008, four months before the financial crisis struck.

The Nasdaq composite index finished at its highest level since December 2000, during a steep decline after the dot-com stock craze. Money poured out of bonds, which are considered less risky than stocks, and bond yields rose.

“Virtually every economist on the planet had expected a drop in the rate of job gains in January, which makes today’s upward surprise even more surprising,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients. In December, 203,000 jobs were created.

The impressive jobs report reverberated through the presidential campaign and could improve Obama’s reelection prospects. The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took office.

In Arlington, Va., the president argued that now was no time to let a 2-percentagepoint cut in the Social Security payroll tax expire, as it will if Congress doesn’t take action by the end of the month.

The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans.

Of the economic recovery, he said: “We’ve got to do everything in our power

to keep it going. We can’t go back to the policies that led to the recession, and we can’t let Washington stand in the way of the recovery.”

His Republican foes used the numbers to argue that the pace of improvement was not good enough.

“We can do better,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner. “These numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama’s policies have prevented a true economic recovery.”

Unemployment was 6.8 percent when Obama was elected, 7.8 percent when he was sworn in and 10 percent, its recent peak, nine months later. No president since World War II has won reelection with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent.

The job gains in January were widespread:

The professional services category, which includes high-paying jobs like architects, accountants and engineers, added 70,000 jobs, the most in 10 months. The category also includes temporary workers.

Manufacturing added 50,000 jobs, the most in a year, and the beleaguered construction industry added 21,000, its second straight month of strong gains. Construction added 31,000 jobs in December. Both months were probably helped by the warm winter.

Chief of Staff visits Fort Riley as troop cuts loom

By John Milburn Associated Press

FORT RILEY — Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno said Friday that the military’s recent investment in installations and the condition of training facilities will be factors as the Army reduces its forces.

Speaking to reporters at Fort Riley, Odierno said the Army has made no decisions about which units will be cut beyond

two brigades in Europe. However, he said the reduction of 80,000 soldiers over six years gives the Army flexibility in how the cuts are managed.

Fort Riley is home to 18,000 soldiers. The northeast Kansas post has been adding buildings since the 1st Infantry Division headquarters returned from Germany.

The Army has invested more than $2 billion in new barracks, training areas, hospital and other support buildings.

“This is a place, obviously, that we will continue to have a large contingent of Army forces for a very long time,” Odierno said.

Odierno also met Friday with soldiers training for an upcoming Afghanistan deployment.

The Army is slated by 2017 to go from 570,000 to 490,000, which is still more than the pre-9/11 levels. The number of brigades is also likely shrink, going from the

present 48 to as few as 32.

“We are continuing to conduct analysis of which brigades, and really it’s more than brigades, it’s other units at well,” Odierno said. “In some way, every installation will be effected by this 80,000-person cut.”

Odierno said the reductions could be achieved through attrition, though there may be specific types of units or programs, such as more heavily armored

brigades, that are cut. Civilian employees and contract workers also will affected by the cuts, he said.

The Pentagon must find some $260 billion in savings over the next five years. Congress has ordered the Defense Department to find $487 billion in cuts over the next 10 years. That figure could increase if Congress can’t find a way to avoid across-the-board reductions mandated by lawmakers last year.

In Nevada, people could once buy homes and feed their families with money earned from free-spending tourists who flocked to Sin City for relaxed gambling and liquor laws.

But things have changed dramatically in the four years since the White House race last came to this state.

Now, Nevadans are struggling with the highest foreclosure and unemployment rates in the nation, their woes creating a dour landscape as Republican candidates compete for votes ahead of Saturday’s GOP caucuses.

“Unemployment is such a big problem here. It affects everybody,” said Josh Dobbins, a Las Vegas accountant and a father of four.

WASHINGTON — The millionaires, billionaires and companies giving big sums to political committees supporting Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Barack Obama have important business with the next president. Some are already in trouble with the government.

Some are pressing for new laws or regulations that would benefit their interests in energy, mining and high finance.

The Associated Press reviewed financial reports, regulatory filings, court records, public statements and more to identify favors that the biggest donors so far in the presidential campaign might want in return for their contributions worth $100,000 or more. In some cases, these donors have given $1 million or more to help Obama’s challengers or the president.

An exhaustive review of their motives is nearly impossible, since new rules governing such contributions allow donors to effectively remain anonymous if they funnel cash into the campaign through corporate partnerships or other mechanisms that can frustrate investigation.

The presidential campaigns all have said they do not trade political favors for election money.

Among AP’s findings:

An energy firm run by William Koch, a $1 million donor to the pro-Romney political committee, paid to lobby Congress on mining and safety issues and also

over a proposed federal land swap that would enlarge the donor’s Colorado ranch.

The casino company run

by Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire whose family has given $11 million to Gingrich’s political committee, has acknowledged it’s under federal criminal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The company denies wrongdoing and says the investigation stems from an allegation by a disgruntled employee. Adelson’s family has provided nearly all the money that the pro-Gingrich group has received so far.

A board member and former chairman of a prestigious Los Angeles hospital, John C. Law with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has given the pro-Obama committee $100,000 as the hospital has lobbied Obama’s administration over Medicare and Medicaid funding for teaching hospitals and electronic medical records, the National Institutes of Health and Army research programs.

The high-dollar contributions have flowed into the presidential campaign through so-called super PACs, which can support a specific candidate but can’t lawfully coordinate their spending with a candidate’s campaign. The groups, given a green light by the Supreme Court in 2010 when it stripped limits on corporate and labor union spending in elections, have already proved to be strategically successful for candidates.

TEHRAN, IRAN — Iran’s supreme leader pledged Friday to aid any nation or group that challenges Israel and said any military strikes over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program would damage U.S. interests in the Middle East “10 times over.”

The nationally broadcast comments by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei staked out a hard line in apparent replies to suggestions that military strikes are an increasing possibility if sanctions fail to rein in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

It also may signal that Tehran’s proxy forces — led by Lebanon’s Islamic militant group Hezbollah — could be given the green light to revive attacks on Israel as the showdown between the archfoes intensifies.

The West and its allies fear Iran could use its uranium enrichment labs — which make nuclear fuel — to eventually produce weapons-grade material. Iran insists it only seeks reactors for energy and medical research.

Israel has so far publicly backed the efforts by the U.S. and European Union for tougher sanctions that target Iran’s crucial oil exports. But Israeli leaders have urged even harsher measures and warn that military action remains a clear option despite Western appeals to allow time for the economic pressures and isolation to bear down on Iran.

Although Israel has raised the strongest hints over a military campaign, Khamenei reserved some of his strongest comments for Israel’s key U.S. ally.

“A war itself will damage the U.S. 10 times over” in the region, said Khamenei.

Khamenei claimed Iran, however, could only emerge stronger. “Iran will not withdraw. Then what happens?”

asked Khamenei. “In conclusion, the West’s hegemony and threats will be discredited” in the Middle East. “The hegemony of Iran will be promoted. In fact, this will be in our service.”

On Thursday, Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, suggested the world is increasingly ready to consider a military strike if sanctions fail. The head of the country’s strategic affairs ministry, Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon, also suggested Iran’s main military installations are still vulnerable to airstrikes — even as Iran starts up a new uranium enrichment facility deep in a mountainside bunker south of Tehran.

Yaalon’s comments appear to reinforce earlier suggestions by other Israel officials that the window for a possible attack is closing and Israel would need to strike by summer to inflict significant setbacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity under standing guidelines.

At Ramstein Air Base in Germany, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said sanctions remain the best approach to pressure Iran. But he told U.S. airmen Friday that Washington keeps “all options on the table and would be prepared to respond if we have to.”

Khamenei answered by repeating Iran’s declarations that it will never roll back its nuclear program, which he had earlier said was now part of the country’s “identity” and a cornerstone of its technological endeavors. On Friday, Iran said it successfully sent a small satellite into orbit in the third such launch in recent years, state media reported.

“From now on, in any place, if any nation or any group confronts the Zionist regime, we will endorse and we will help. We have no fear expressing this,” said Khamenei, using the phrase widely used by Iran’s leader to describe Israel.
