IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, SUSAN SKEPNEK, of Lawrence, enjoys the luxuriant feel of her 70-degree greenhouse on Monday. Today’s forecast calls for 3 to 5 inches of snow. But, temperatures are expected to hit the 50s this weekend.
Crews ready to tackle streets again Robins abound, but spring feels far behind said Kelsey Angle, NWS meteorologist. Angle said the storm was coming to the area from the Rockies, and the snow should be heaviest this afternoon and this evening. Tom Orzulak, street divisions manager, said the city was preparing as it usually does for storms. “It’s the same stuff, different day,” he said. “It has to snow first.” Orzulak said he had a crew

Lawrence is in for another snowy Tuesday this week, with the city expected to get 3 to 5 inches. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for 6 a.m. today to 6 a.m. Wednesday. The advisory also says winds will be 10 to 20 mph. “(The storm) shouldn’t be quite as bad as the last one,”
ready to go at midnight. Despite this year’s storms, Angle said the region is below last year’s snow totals. He said by this time last year, Topeka had received 29 inches of snow. This year, the area is at 26. But relief is coming. Temperatures are expected to warm up to about 50 degrees by Sunday. One group doesn’t seem to mind the weather. Robins are abundant in the area, but birdwatcher Stan Roth says the Kansas weather is balmy to them.
“They’re migrants from the north,” said Roth, a birdwatcher and retired Lawrence biology teacher. “We seem to be getting lots and lots of robin flocks here in Lawrence.” He said the robins that are in Lawrence during the spring are in Texas now, and Lawrence started getting robins from the Dakotas and Saskatchewan, Canada, in October.
A deputy police chief in Wichita has removed his name from the list of finalists for Lawrence police chief. Tom Stolz said Monday that he had withdrawn his name from consideration, based mainly on the effect the state budget crisis is having on the prospect for teaching jobs. He said he visited with Lawrence and area school officials, who painted a bleak picture for being able to hire teachers in the next two years. Stolz’s wife, who teaches in the Renwick district west of Wichita, has been in the profession for 24 Stolz years. “After much thought and discussion, I will not ask my wife to give up her teaching tenure and career even to get what I deem to be the best chief of police job in the state of Kansas,” Stolz wrote in a letter to David Corliss, Lawrence’s city manager.

Tourism leaders hope to open $200K exhibit in Carnegie building By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com
ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com
The usual cast of characters from Lawrence’s history will be there: William Quantrill, John Brown, Langston Hughes. But there may be a few you don’t often see, too, like the three black men who in 1882 were lynched and then hung from the Kansas River bridge as the crudest of warning signs. Such pieces of the area’s history will be part of a $200,000 exhibit that Lawrence tourism
leaders hope to open in the former Carnegie Library building at Ninth and Vermont streets this spring. “It will have the good, the bad and the indifferent,” said Judy Billings, director of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’re really hoping to provide an overarching introduction to the history of the area.” The exhibit is part of the city’s efforts to become the center of the new Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area, which highlights the role eastern Kansas and western Missouri

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday signed an order to eliminate the Kansas Arts Commission and replace it with a private organization to raise funds. Brownback said the cost-cutting move would save taxpayers $600,000 in the next fiscal year, but the Arts Commission said its elimination would cost the state millions of dollars in lost matching funds and revenue generated by arts and culture. “As I said in my State of the State speech, the days

Death penalty possible in Osage County slayings
LYNDON (AP) — A prosecutor has filed notice that a former Columbia, Mo., city official could face the death penalty if he’s convicted of killing his estranged wife, two daughters and wife’s grandmother in Kansas. James Kraig Kahler, former director of the Water and Light Department in Columbia, is accused of killing his family members during Thanksgiving weekend 2009. Kahler, 48, was ordered in December to stand trial on four counts of capital murder after his 11-year-old son described at a preliminary hearing how his dad killed his mother with a deer rifle on Nov. 28, 2009. Kahler was arraigned Monday in Osage County District Court in Lyndon, Thursday, and members of Kan.

Under the proposal, Kansas would lose $778,200 in direct funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, and $437,767 in indirect grants and services from the Mid-America Arts Alliance, according to the Arts Commission.

That includes items like Langston Hughes’ formative years in Lawrence, Missourian Harry Truman’s integration of the U.S. armed forces, and Topeka’s role in the desegregation of public schools. There are plenty of others, too. In fact, deciding what to leave out was the biggest challenge with the entire project, both Billings and Tuttle said.
“There were some very lively discussions,” Tuttle said. “You talk to some people in Missouri, and they will tell you the Civil War was about states’ rights. You talk to people in Kansas, and they’ll tell you it was about slavery. We had some philosophical gaps to bridge, but we did it. And I don’t think there are any hard feelings.” Billings hopes that exhibit, designed by a Kansas City company that specializes in m u s e u m p i e ce s , w i l l b e installed by late April.

Prosecutors said two aggravating factors make Kahler eligible for execution: The victims were killed in an especially heinous, atrocious or cruel manner, and Kahler knowingly killed or created a great risk of death to more than one person.

Website: Rebel leader claims bombing A website affiliated with Chechen rebels has released a video in which insurgent leader Doku Umarov claims responsibility for last month’s deadly suicide bombing at Russia’s largest airport and threatens more bloodshed if Russia does not leave the region. The Kavkaz Center website says it received the video late Monday. It was not clear when or where the video was recorded. The Jan. 24 attack at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport killed 36 people. Russian investigators say the bomber was a 20-year-old man from the Caucasus region that includes Chechnya, but have not released his name or other details.

Federal taxes lowest since 1950 Taxes too high? Actually, as a share of the nation’s economy, Uncle Sam’s take this year will be the lowest since 1950, when the Korean War was just getting under way. And for the third straight year, American families and businesses will pay less in federal taxes than they did under former President George W. Bush, thanks to a weak economy and a growing number of tax breaks for the wealthy and poor alike. Income tax payments this year will be nearly 13 percent lower than they were in 2008, the last full year of the Bush presidency. Corporate taxes will be lower by a third, according to projections by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The poor economy is largely to blame, with corporate profits down and unemployment up. But so is a tax code that grows each year with new deductions, credits and exemptions. The result is that families making as much as $50,000 can avoid paying federal income taxes, if they have at least two dependent children. Low-income families can actually make a profit from the income tax, and the wealthy can significantly cut their payments.

U.S. to review Sudan terror designation The U.S. said Monday it would recognize an independent Southern Sudan and review its designation of Sudan’s government in Khartoum as a state sponsor of terrorism after that African nation accepted the south’s vote to secede. Election officials said Monday that more than 98 percent of ballots in the Jan. 9 vote were in favor of independence, meaning Southern Sudan will become the world’s newest country in July. “I congratulate the people of Southern Sudan for a successful and inspiring referendum in which an overwhelmingly majority of voters chose independence,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. “I am therefore pleased to announce the intention of the United States to formally recognize Southern Sudan as a sovereign, independent state in July 2011.” Obama called it “another step forward in Africa’s long journey toward justice and democracy.” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton commended the Sudan government for accepting the outcome.

A pedestrian who was injured Saturday night while trying to cross 23rd Street was in critical but stable condition Monday at a Kansas City-area hospital, a Lawrence police spokesman said. Sgt. Matt Sarna Monday identified the injured man as 28year-old Jeffrey A. Brown of Lawrence. Police said that about 8 p.m., Brown was trying to cross 23rd Street, heading south, near the Iowa Street intersection when he was struck by two eastbound vehicles. Accident investigators Monday were still trying to determine exactly where Brown was when he tried to cross the street. But Sarna said the preliminary investigation indicated eastbound traffic had a green light, meaning a pedestrian crossing to the south would not have had a walk signal. Joseph Henderson, who was stopped in traffic, told the Journal-World Saturday night that a man appeared to be attempting to climb over ice in the small island between the turn lane and westbound lanes of 23rd Street when he slipped and appeared to fall. Henderson said the man continued to try cross the street when one car narrowly missed hitting him
Sgt. Matt Sarna said Jeffrey Brown was struck by a 2005 Chevrolet Impala in the inside lane and then a 1997 Chevrolet pickup truck in the outside lane of eastbound 23rd Street. before he was struck by another vehicle. Sarna said Brown was struck by a 2005 Chevrolet Impala in the inside lane and then a 1997 Chevrolet pickup truck in the outside lane of eastbound 23rd Street. Both drivers stopped, he said, and people began administering aid to Brown before medics arrived. Brown was flown to the hospital by helicopter ambulance, which had landed in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby, he said. Sarna said officers were still trying to determine if alcohol or anything else was a contributing factor. He said police were also trying to determine where Brown had been immediately before the accident and asked anyone with information to call Douglas County Crime Stoppers at 785-843-TIPS (8477). No citations had been issued as of Monday, Sarna said. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144. Follow him at Twitter.com/gdiepenbrock.

Man killed by armed bird at cockfight A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb. The Kern County coroner says 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30. An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental “sharp force injury” to his right calf. Sheriff’s spokesman Ray Pruitt says it’s unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to Ochoa’s death. Tulare officials are investigating, and no arrests were made at the cockfight. Cockfighting is a sport, illegal in the United States, in which specially bred roosters are put into a ring and encouraged to fight until one is incapacitated or killed.

Don’t throw out that lunch receipt: It could be worth $1,000. That’s the idea behind a campaign to force Puerto Rico’s many tiny markets, food stalls and other mom-and-pop businesses to collect sales tax. Puerto Rico’s Treasury Department is transforming receipts into lottery tickets, printing contest numbers on each receipt and holding weekly drawings for cash prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000. It also plans to have a monthly drawing for a car. A pilot program started in December in the southern city of Ponce and will be expanded island-wide in July. The government wants prize-hungry consumers to demand receipts, discouraging businesses from dodging the 7 percent sales tax by making unrecorded cash sales. Theoretically, the idea should be a winner on an island where lotteries are popular, but initial results aren’t very encouraging: Eight winning tickets have been drawn so far and not a single consumer has come forward to claim a prize. Winners have up to 30 days to collect, and some receipts have already expired.

SOUND OFF
Q:
Does the post office have to pay a penalty for picking up mail before the designated time on a mailbox like you see at a drive-through or grocery stores? I have dropped mail off a good hour before pickup and noticed it was postmarked a day later.
A:
Postmaster Judy Raney said the post office scans boxes from those pickup points, and if a scan registers earlier than the pickup time, someone will go back by the box to pick up again. “No boxes are allowed to be scanned early,” she said. Postmarking happens in Kansas City, and she said weather could have been a factor for the delayed postmark. She said the Tuesday of the blizzard, no mail left Lawrence for Kansas City because all of the trucks got pulled off the road due to hazardous conditions. She said in her eight years at the post office, that had never happened before.

BRIEFLY Football player arrested on DUI charge A Kansas University football player was arrested over the weekend on a drunken driving charge. According to Douglas County Jail records, a KU Public Safety officer arrested 19-yearold Chris Omigie about 2:30 a.m. Saturday after a traffic stop near 21st Street and Naismith Drive on suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Omigie posted $500 bond Saturday and was given notice to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court on Feb. 16, according to jail records. “He is still a member of our team. Coach (Turner) Gill will handle the discipline internally,” Jim Marchiony, a KU associate athletic director, said Monday. Omigie played in 10 games last season as a red-shirt freshman wide receiver. He is originally from Arlington, Texas. Scott Miller, a staff attorney for the city, said in criminal cases in Kansas prosecutors must prove a driver’s bloodalcohol content was 0.08 percent or more whether the driver is of legal drinking age or

not. But a driver under the age of 21 can face driver’s license restrictions if his or her bloodalcohol content was at least 0.02 percent, he said.

The Haskell student was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with a possible broken jaw. Police continue to investigate. • Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, director of the Kansas University Chabad Center, 1203 W. 19th St., reported to Lawrence police that someone stole a outdoor lighted menorah that is 6 feet tall and valued at $1,000 from the center’s front yard sometime between 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday evening.

“We’re looking at it more as an act of vandalism and not an act of hate,” Tiechtel said. “We think it’s probably some drunken people that did it.” He said he hoped someone would return the menorah, but said center leaders planned to build a larger one if they don’t get it back. Tiechtel said anyone with information can call him at 785-917-0200. The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed.

Candidate event set Saturday Staff reports
Local voters can meet candidates for the Lawrence City Commission and school board at a Saturday event sponsored by the local Voter Education Coalition. Candidates will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and meet informally with local residents from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the Alton Ballroom at Pachamama’s, 800 N.H. All candidates for City Commission and school board have been invited to attend. Voters will elect three city commissioners and four school board members on April 5. There will be no primary in either race. Candidates filed for City Commission are Sven Alstrom, Hugh Carter, Mike Dever, Mike Machell and Bob Schumm. Candidates for school board are James Clark, Ola Faucher, Rick Ingram, Shannon Kimball, Diane Lindeman, Randy Masten, Marlene Merrill, Keith Moore, Tyler Palmer and Bill Roth. The candidate event will immediately follow the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Eggs and Issues breakfast with area legislators, which starts at 8 a.m. in the Alton Ballroom. Eggs and Issues is a paid event, and reservations can be made through the chamber. The VEC candidate event is free and open to the public. The Voter Education Coalition is a nonpartisan organization of 19 community groups that promotes civil dialogue and broad participation of citizens and candidates through community forums.
Road conditions were factor in train-truck fatality accident An accident report says that icy and snowpacked conditions at a railroad crossing contributed to a crash that killed a rural Lecompton man last Friday afternoon. Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman, said the engineer and conductor aboard an eastbound train told officers the pickup truck’s driver
was unable to stop at the crossing at East 950 Road and slid in front of the train on the icy and snowpacked gravel road. Sheriff’s officials said 22year-old Kyle Snyder died after his northbound pickup truck collided with the BNSF Railway train at the public crossing. The train came to a stop about one half-mile east of the cross-
ing, which is identified by crossbuck signs but does not have flashing lights or gates. The crash happened just after noon Friday. Lewis said the report also indicated Snyder was driving too fast for the icy and snowpacked conditions. Lewis said Monday there was no evidence that alcohol contributed.

Critics say it gives too much power to the Appropriations Committee because members won’t be able to challenge its recommendations on overall state spending. Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, voted against the rules, saying a majority of the Appropriations Committee — 12 of 23 members — would have more power than the remaining 113 members of the House. Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy, said the “pay-go” provision should also have a “tax-go” provision, in which tax cuts would have to be offset by either a tax increase else-
where or a spending cut. He said tax exemptions “shift the tax burden from group to group.” Such a provision was offered earlier by Democrats, but was rejected by the Republican majority. Otto and other opponents also said they opposed the provision that would allow the caucuses to meet in private. “Closed-door meetings of 92 members is unacceptable,” said Rep. Sean Gatewood, DTopeka, referring to the size of the House Republican Caucus. Republican leaders said they hoped to keep the caucus meetings open but wanted the option to close them to members of the media and to the public.
Approval of the rules came one day before the House is set to debate changes to the current fiscal year budget. That proposed budget includes cuts to schools and mental health services. Area representatives who supported the new rules were Terri Lois Gregory, R-Baldwin City; Anthony Brown, REudora; Ramon Gonzales, RPerry; and Connie O’Brien, RTonganoxie. Those opposed to the new rules, in addition to Sloan, were Barbara Ballard, DLawrence; Paul Davis, DLawrence; and Ann Mah, DTopeka. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

entire KBA board for approval. President and Chairman of CritiTech Sam Campbell said new leadership that has arrived at the Kansas University Cancer Center has helped move the trial along. “All of the patients have received treatment well and haven’t suffered from adverse side effects. The drug is performing as anticipated. We are very anxious to get the study done. It affects the value and credibility of our company and the cancer center,” Campbell said. Along with determining
what side effects are present with the new drug, the clinical trial is looking at how much of the drug patients can tolerate. By the end of 2011 , CritiTech hopes to finish the trial so it can advanced to the second phase of the study and focus on other drug research. On Monday, the KBA investment committee also recommended approving: ● A $1.5 million investment to go toward a $13 million project to build the K-State Feed Technology Center. ● A $131 ,800 million investment to go toward ChocoFinesse, a company that is working to develop a
healthier chocolate substitute. ● A $500,000 incentive to relocate the Kansas City, Mo. based company Evogen to Kansas. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

Brownback’s move Layoffs rarer even with more unemployed on Human Rights agency criticized By Paul Wiseman and Derek Kravitz
Associated Press Writers
By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com
TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s desire to move the Kansas Human Rights Commission to the attorney general’s office is drawing fire from the NAACP and others. The Kansas Human Rights Commission investigates complaints alleging discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodations and housing, as well as racial profiling in conjunction with traffic stops. The NAACP said Brownback’s proposal will kill independent investigations of complaints against the state because those complaints would be filed with the attorney general’s office, which represents state agencies. And in a letter, James Butler, who served as chairman and commissioner to the Kansas Human Rights Commission from 1979 to 2005, said the proposal was a bad idea because it would place the investigation of complaints under a partisan officeholder. “I was shocked when I read
the proposal and I still am because the office of Attorney General is an elected office and, for the first time in the history of the commission, the commission would be under the direction of an elected state office and political influence, subject to whatever bias may exist at any particular time. This move would eliminate 58 years of independent decision making in the area of civil rights in the State of Kansas,” Butler said. Brownback has said his proposal would save $177,000 by eliminating the Human Rights Commission’s executive director, attorney and administrative specialist. Brownback in his budget proposal states, “By relocating the Commission to the Attorney General, the agency will have access to a wider array of resources and staff.” Brownback’s office said legislation is being drawn up to move the commission to the attorney general’s office. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.
State leaders reject bankruptcy plans By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com
T O P E K A — A bipartisan, national group of state elected leaders, including Kansas Senate President Steve Morris, on Monday asked Congress to back off any proposal that would allow states to file for bankruptcy. In fact, they said even making such a proposal can cause fiscal problems. “Allowing states to declare bankruptcy is not an authority any state leader has asked for nor would they likely use,” said the letter signed by the leaders of the National Governors Association and National Conference of State Legislatures. The NGA is headed by Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, a Democrat, and vice chair Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, a Republican. The NCSL is headed by state Sen. Richard Moore, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and President-elect Morris, a Republican from Hugoton. The letter was directed to Republican and Democratic leaders in the U.S. House and Senate. In recent weeks, several high prof ile Republican organizations and politicians, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have
touted a proposal to allow states that are facing huge revenue shortfalls to seek bankruptcy protection in federal court to restructure their fiscal problems. But some opponents see the proposal as a way to force state workers to take cuts in pay and pensions. But the NGA and NCSL leaders said bankruptcy for states wasn’t necessary. The states have been resolving their budget problems through the recession by making tough political choices and will continue to do so, they said. “While a number of states continue to face budget deficits over the next few years, we will continue to use our sovereign authority to balance our budgets and meet our obligations,” they said. Kansas has gone through six rounds of budget cuts and a 1-cent increase in the state sales tax and still faces an estimated $500 million revenue shortfall in the next fiscal year. The state leaders also said even the discussion of legislation allowing states to declare bankruptcy can create unnecessary volatility in state and local bond markets.
W A S H I N G T O N — The U.S. labor force has been split into two groups: the relieved and the desperate. If you have a job, you can exhale; you’re less likely to lose it than at any point in at least 14 years. If you’re unemployed? Good luck. Finding a job remains a struggle 20 months after the recession technically ended. Employers won’t likely step up hiring until they feel more confident about the economy. A result is that people who are unemployed are staying so for longer periods. Of the 13.9 million Americans the government says were unemployed last month, about 1.8 million had been without work for at least 99 weeks — essentially two years. That’s nearly double the number in January 2010. Yet the deep job cuts of the recession have long since ended. In January, companies announced plans to trim fewer than 39,000 jobs, according to outplacement f irm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That was 46 percent fewer than a year earlier. More strikingly, it was the fewest number of planned layoffs in January since Challenger began keeping track in 1993. For all of 2010, planned layoffs hit a 13-year low. Eventually, consumer spending will rise high enough that companies will need to accelerate hiring to keep up with demand. In the meantime, a fading fear of layoffs is likely helping the economy: It’s encouraging consumers who have jobs to spend more. “The fact you know that the paycheck is going to be coming in now and for the foreseeable future gives you permission to do some extra spending,” says John Challenger, CEO of Challenger. Retailers, in particular, have stopped shedding workers. After the best holiday

Finding a job remains a struggle 20 months after the recession technically ended. shopping season in four years, stores cut fewer than 5,800 jobs last month. That’s only about one-third the number of a year earlier. And it’s far fewer than the nearly 54,000 in January 2009 at the depths of the recession. “If you’re bringing value to your company, you don’t have to worry,” says Mickey Kampsen, president of Management Recruiters of Charlottesville, Va. Courtney Miller-Rao, 28, is feeling more secure about her job than at any time since she began working a decade ago. She’s an auctioneer, selling cars for an auto salvage company near Waterbury, Conn. “We’re growing immensely, we’re opening a new branch, selling more cars,” she says. “I don’t feel like I have to work 10 to 14 hours a day to keep my job.” Yet employers still aren’t ready to start hiring aggressively. A government survey of business payrolls released Friday showed a net gain of only 36,000 jobs in January — barely one-fourth the number needed just to keep pace with population growth. Harsh winter weather helped explain the weak hiring. But not entirely.
Seabury senior sought as Presidential Scholar A senior at Bishop Seabury Academy is among students invited to apply as candidates for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. David Lawrence is among four students from Lawrence and about 3,000 nationwide to be invited to apply for the 47year-old program, which recognizes distinguished graduating seniors. Candidates — who are invited based on their scores on SAT and ACT tests — submit essays, self-assessments, secondary
school reports and transcripts for consideration. In April, 500 students will be picked as semifinalists and, in May, up to 121 will be chosen as Academic Scholars and up to 20 will be recognized as Arts Scholars. Also invited to apply are Victoria Gilman and Rosemarie Murray, from Free State High School; and Yuan Xu, from Lawrence High School. The Presidential Scholars Program is considered among the country’s highest honors for high school students.
A bigger factor is that companies have become more productive. After slashing jobs during the recession, they discovered they could produce the same, or more, with smaller staffs. Businesses have created an average of just 82,000 net jobs each month over the past year. That’s fewer than half the number a strong economy would be expected to cre-

NASA is known for exploring space, but the agency also keeps an eye on earth. This week a senior executive of NASA will speak at Kansas University about what observations from space can tell us about the planet’s climate change. Jack Kaye, the associate director for research in NASA’s Earth Science Division, will speak at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive. NASA is using space-based remote sensing to gather information on the earth’s land masses, oceans, atmosphere, cryosphere and biosphere. The data gathered can help scientists understand the changing climate, its interaction with life and how human activities affect the environment, according to NASA’s website. NASA is currently working
on a project with KU’s Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. The project, known as IceBridge, is a six-year mission that will use airplanes to create a three-dimensional view of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, ice shelves and sea ice, according to NASA. In 2009, a satellite gathering information on ice, clouds and land elevation stopped collecting data. Its replacement isn’t expected to launch until 2015. The information gathered through the IceBridge project will fill the gap. CReSIS is working on the radar instruments being used by the planes collecting data. While Kaye will present a talk to CReSIS students and faculty that will be technically oriented, his discussion at the Dole Center will be geared more toward the general public. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

ate. It’s why so many unemployed people have been left stranded, unable for many months to land jobs. An average of 4.6 unemployed people are competing for each job opening, the government says. In a healthy job market, no more than two people would be vying for each opening. “Without employers hiring, it’s still pretty tough for the unemployed worker,” says Steven Davis, a University of Chicago economist. Eventually, employers will f ind they can’t keep squeezing ever-higher output from their slimmeddown staffs that survived the recession. Stronger customer demand will require more workers. Reports from the Institute for Supply Management indicate that both service and manufacturing companies plan to step up hiring because of a rise in orders. Even then, many of the unemployed may be left out. That’s because even companies that must hire will often avoid unemployed applicants — especially those who’ve been out of work for many months.

Freed Google executive behind revolt By Hadeel Al-Schalchi and Karin Laub
U.S. pushes for more inclusive talks
Associated Press Writers
CAIRO — The young Google Inc. executive detained by Egyptian authorities for 12 days said Monday he was behind the Facebook page that helped spark what he called “the revolution of the youth of the Internet.” A U.S.based human rights group said nearly 300 people have died in two weeks of clashes. Wael Ghonim, a marketing manager for the Internet Ghonim company, wept throughout an emotional television interview just hours after he was freed. He described how he spent his entire time in detention blindfolded while his worried parents didn’t know where he was. He insisted he had not been tortured and said his interrogators treated him with respect. “This is the revolution of the youth of the Internet and now the revolution of all Egyptians,” he said, adding that he was taken aback when the security forces holding him branded him a traitor. “Anyone with good intentions is the traitor because being evil is the norm,” he said. “If I was a traitor, I would have stayed in my villa in the Emirates and made good money and said like others, ’Let this country go to hell.’ But we are not traitors,” added Ghonim, an Egyptian who oversees Google’s marketing in the Middle East and Africa from Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates. The protesters have already brought the most sweeping
By Matthew Lee Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration conceded Monday that it will not endorse the demands of Egyptian protesters for embattled President Hosni Mubarak to step down immediately, saying a precipitous exit could set back the country’s democratic transition. After several days of mixed messages about whether it wants to see Mubarak stay or go, Washington stepped up calls for a faster, more inclusive national dialogue on reform in Egypt. Under Egypt’s constitution, Mubarak’s resignation would trigger an election in 60 days. U.S. officials said that’s not enough time to prepare. “A question that that would pose is whether Egypt today is prepared to have a changes since President Hosni Mubarak took power 30 years ago, but they are keeping up the pressure in hopes of achieving their ultimate goal of ousting Mubarak. Ghonim has become a hero of the demonstrators since he went missing on Jan. 27, two days after the protests began. He confirmed reports by protesters that he was the administrator of the Facebook page “We are all Khaled Said” that was one of the main tools for organizing the demonstration that started the movement on Jan. 25. Khaled Said was a 28-yearold businessman who died in June at the hands of undercover police, setting off months of protests against the hated police. The police have also been blamed for inflaming violence by trying to sup-
competitive, open election,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. “Given the recent past, where, quite honestly, elections were less than free and fair there’s a lot of work that has to be done to get to a point where you can have free and fair elections.” The administration coalesced around a position that cautiously welcomes nascent reform efforts begun by newly appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman that may or may not result in Mubarak’s resignation before September, when new elections are to be held. Mubarak has said he will not run. President Barack Obama said Egypt is making progress toward a solution to the political crisis enveloping the country and preparing for free elections to replace Mubarak. press these anti-government demonstrations by force. Ghonim’s whereabouts were not known until Sunday, when a prominent Egyptian businessman confirmed he was under arrest and would soon be released. Time and again during the two weeks of demonstrations, protesters have pointed proudly to the fact that they have no single leader, as if to say that it is everyone’s uprising. Still, there seems at times to be a longing among the crowds at Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the main demonstration site, for someone to rally around. The unmasking of Ghonim as the previously unknown administrator of the Facebook page that started the protests could give the crowds someone to look to for inspiration to press on.

BRIEFLY Officials confirm 3 cholera cases in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials have confirmed that three New Yorkers contracted cholera while in the Dominican Republic for a wedding. The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, where thousands have died from the disease. A medical epidemiologist for the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene told The New York Times Saturday that all three people who were infected last month have recovered. Dr. Sharon Balter says the city typically sees an average of one cholera case per year. City health officials are now working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta to determine whether the current strain is similar to the one that has been raging in Haiti since October. Three cholera deaths have been reported in the Dominican Republic.
Dispute over girl may be factor in shooting YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO (AP) — While police still worked to piece together what led to a deadly Ohio fraternity house party, witnesses said Monday that an argument over a girl prompted two men to open fire on the crowd, sending partygoers into a panic, injuring 11 people and leaving a college student struggling for his life. Police said a dispute ensued Sunday night at the Omega Psi Phi fraternity house; one man was thrown out of the party and the other followed. They returned sometime later and began spraying bullets into the crowd, police said. Youngstown State University senior Jamail Johnson, 25, was killed. Police arrested two men that evening.

The U.S. Chamber mounted a vigorous lobbying campaign against the health care bill and the financial regulation overhaul, particularly a provision creating a consumer financial protection agency. It also spent at least $32 million in the 2010 elections.

Poor performance Christina Aguilera’s performance of the national anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl is getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
A
side from discussing the current situation in Egypt, the outcome of the Super Bowl game and the dismal weather situation throughout the country, the No. 1 water cooler conversation around the country on Monday might have been the manner in which the national anthem was delivered at the Super Bowl. One question: Who was in charge of selecting the singer, and what was the grading system used to pick Christina Aguilera? Who was to have the honor to sing the anthem before the nation’s top sports event, which probably drew one of the largest live and television audiences of any national or international event? Did the individual in charge of choosing Aguilera base the selection on who does the best and most inspiring job of singing the national anthem or is it based on who has the most star power? On either scorecard, Aguilera would have scored a C-minus. Whatever the grading system, in the eyes of many, Aguilera was a disaster. She seemed determined to make herself the center of attention rather than to deliver an inspiring rendition of one of this country’s most important symbols. She forgot the words and injected too many variations from the original musical score. Again, in the eyes of those selecting the singer for this very special presentation, what is more important: the impact and meaning of the song or the visual appearance and star power of the vocalist? For football fans who have followed this year’s National Football League post-season games, the best and most powerful rendition of the national anthem was delivered by a male bass singer before the two Chicago Bears playoff games. There was genuine and enthusiastic applause following his performance, whereas millions of those watching and hearing Aguilera must have wondered what her motive was in delivering the song in such a disrespectful and unprofessional manner.

National interests trump friendships Anastasio Somoza was a bulwark against Nazi influence in Central America. Ferdinand Marcos was a reformer and nation builder. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar emerged in Portugal as a symbol of integrity and stability. Jimmy Carter said that “Iran, because of the great leadership of the shah, is an island of stability.” The United States tilted toward Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war. As all the world is discovering, Hosni Mubarak’s name fits comfortably in this chronicle. Mubarak came to power after the assassination of Anwar Sadat.
David Shribman month’s Mubarak “Thisunderlines crisis an unfor-
tunate aspect of American foreign policy — the difficulty of letting go, often from a once-promising figure whose interests coincided with American interests but whose inclinations veered from American values.” He has pleased five American presidents and a generation of congressional leaders by providing Israel stable and quiet borders, was one of the largest beneficiaries of American economic and military support, and established himself as one of the mainstays of American foreign policy in the Middle East.
Looking the other way The repressive nature of Mubarak’s rule has been wellknown to American diplomats, who in some cases encouraged the Egyptian leader’s resolve against Islamist influences, especially the Muslim Brotherhood. For most of the last three decades, Americans have looked the other way or pretended not to see that Egypt had elections but was not a democracy, professed openness but did not cultivate it, and supported economic mobility but did not foster it. This winter everything changed, and the American diplomats who for so long accommodated Mubarak sought to distance the United States from him. This is a familiar galliard, the orchestrated leap away from a strongman whose utility to the United States is spent, whose popularity in his own
country is dissipated, whose pinions of support are crumbling and whose days are numbered. Mubarak may have been “our S.O.B.,” in the phrase that Franklin Roosevelt used to describe Rafael Trujillo, the jefe of the Dominican Republic, but the United States spent last week seeking to dissolve its ties to him ASAP.
Hard to let go This month’s Mubarak crisis underlines an unfortunate aspect of American foreign policy — the difficulty of letting go, often from a once-promising figure whose interests coincided with American interests but whose inclinations veered from American values. Once they were useful. Often they were odious. Then changes on the ground, or more precisely on the streets, changed the political calculus. “The people decide,” says Stephen W. Bosworth, who as American ambassador to the Philippines helped ease Marcos from power in 1986. “They set the context and then we decide what to do. In the end, our relationship with a country, and our interests in that country, outweigh the relationship with a person.” Bosworth, now dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts, adds: “Knowing when to cut loose is as important as anything else.” Breaking up is hard to do. The United States had long relationships with some of the most obdurate tyrants of the 20th century, who helped contain communism, or advance American economic interests, or provide American air and naval bases in critical regions. Many of these figures had a stubborn desire to hang on, often to enrich themselves, sometimes
to enjoy the prerogatives of power, almost always because of the (legitimate) fear that the moment they left the palace they would be killed. The common thread: They hoped to die of natural causes, and to do that they needed to remain in office. Mubarak’s pledge to leave the presidency after September’s elections was a variation on the theme, as he decided not to run for re-election after President Barack Obama pressed him in a difficult 30-minute telephone call last Tuesday. But Obama’s meaning was unmistakable: The United States was withdrawing support from one of its most loyal allies. “Up until last week there wasn’t this degree of popular mobilization against Mubarak,” says Wendy Pearlman, a Northwestern University specialist in comparative Middle East politics. “There was repression, there was corruption, there was rule that was not democratic, but U.S. policy was resigned to it and many Egyptians were resigned to it.”
U.S. forced to re-evaluate Tunisia and its Jasmine Revolution broke the barrier of fear and made Egyptians believe that if they, too, took to the streets they might bring down their ruling regime. “Mubarak was an American ally, but suddenly the Egyptian people spoke very loudly and unmistakably,” Pearlman says. “It forced the United States to re-evaluate.” More important, this Egyptian moment casts that country of 80 million on a new path in the modern history of an ancient nation that began with British rule and led to the Free Officers Movement of Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser and now to destinations unknown. In his history of the Muslim
Brotherhood, Richard P. Mitchell tells of how six workers came to Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the group, eight decades ago. “We are weary of this life of humiliation and restriction,” the workers said. “Lo, we see that the Arabs and the Muslims have no status and no dignity. They are not more than mere hirelings, belonging to the foreigners. We possess nothing but this blood ... and these souls ... and these few coins.” Today the protesters are members of the new Middle Eastern middle class, but still largely without freedom and often without prospects, particularly the young, who make up the largest and most educated generation in Arab history. They have joined comrades who once conducted their own days of rage on the streets of Manila and Tehran, and they have done more than force the United States to re-evaluate its alliances. They have forged a future for themselves. The challenge for the United States is to adapt to that new future. “You try to hold to a few basic principles,” says Bosworth. “One is that people are mortal but relationships between countries endure. Another is that national interests endure. We as a country have a strong national interest in having a decent working relationship with Egypt, a pivotal country in the Arab world. Our interests are not going to diminish just because there has been a revolt against Mubarak.” Everything has changed inside Egypt — but the task for American diplomats is to assure that little changes in the relationship between the two countries. Suddenly the Obama administration has one more test and trial. — David Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
PUBLIC FORUM
Name change To the editor: The comments — printed, blogged or otherwise communicated — regarding the possibility of renaming our junior highs when they become middle schools next year have been fascinating. They provide evidence that many people do not understand the complexity of education funding in Kansas and that money spent on signs at our four middle schools will come from the capital outlay fund, which cannot be used for teacher salaries, books or instructional supplies. The Lawrence area is rich in history, unique geographical features and tradition. Elementary and high schools have names from these sources, but our schools serving the age group in between are named for directions that were accurate in the last century. They now have limited relevancy to the schools’ locations. If the committees studying the names for our middle schools recommend new (or altered) names, there will be a change in lettering on the signs at our middle schools. If they recommend continuing to use directions as names, there will be a change in lettering on the signs at our middle schools. They will be different schools next year and need accurate signage. School mascots will remain the same. Uniforms will wear out and need to be replaced, but that
schedule will not be accelerated. Those who serve on the naming committees are not paid for that service. Perhaps their compensation or reward is the sense of being part of the history of the school, a sensation that can be shared by survey respondents also. Go Mustangs! Go Warhawks! Go Cougars! Go Bulldogs! Mary Loveland, Lawrence
Essential arts To the editor: Art advocates from across the state have done an excellent job warning us about the potential loss in tourism dollars and arts-related jobs that Kansas would suffer if the governor’s proposal to eliminate the Kansas Arts Commission were approved. I agree with their dire assessment and believe that these arguments alone should be enough to convince our legislators to put the brakes on this misguided proposal. But there is another case to be made if we really want to understand why art is integral to our communities, state, and nation. We need to support art (at least at the current yearly rate of 29 cents per person) because art is the discipline engaged in exploring the language of stories — stories of where we have been, who we are and how we want to be remembered. This work, this research and experimentation into those qualities that make us human and
humane, is essential to the growth and maintenance of a healthy democratic society. Like science, art needs public support precisely because its benefits accrue slowly, cannot be easily quantified and are absolutely necessary. Theater, music, film, dance, poetry, painting. Artists young and old working in these media are at the forefront of shaping our shared identity. Support for the Kansas Arts Commission, which gives all of us access to this creative world, is essential because, as Topeka-born poet Gwendolyn Brooks wrote in 1970, “We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” Dave Loewenstein, Lawrence
Valuable time To the editor: While reading the article recently about what the Lawrence school district will do to make up snow days, I came across quite a few online comments regarding “wasted Wednesdays.” As a Lawrence teacher, I respectfully request that those of you who consider our Wednesday collaboration time a waste take another look. I am a fifth-grade teacher who works with approximately 10 other teachers to serve 80 fifthand sixth-graders. These students are diverse racially, academically, socio-economically,
physically. During the course of my day, I have 40 minutes of plan time and a 30-minute lunch period. The rest of the time, I am directly responsible for my students and am actively teaching. After school, I am only paid for another 30 minutes of work, when I am often called to meetings, may tutor students and prepare for the next day. My team uses the 90 minutes we are given on Wednesdays to collaborate about how to best serve our kids. We look at the most recent data, organize new reading groups, plan intervention, try to solve behavior issues, you name it. It doesn’t really matter to me when we make up our snow days. What does matter to me is that what I do is trivialized by many people who don’t really know a thing of what they speak. All ask is that you give Lawrence teachers the respect of trusting us to do our jobs. Are some Wednesdays wasted by some teachers? Probably. But most of that time is well-used. Chris Anderson, Topeka

Salina police chief seeks ’bath salt’ ban TOPEKA (AP) — Salina Police Chief James Hill says a legal substance that people are abusing to experience a methamphetamine-like high is one of the biggest threats his community has faced. Hill, who spoke before the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee on Jan. 25, is awaiting toxicology results for a 21-year-old Kansas University student who ran onto Interstate 135 in Salina in late December, into the path of a van that struck and killed him. Investigators found a small container of the substance, known as “ bath salts,” on Elijah Taylor after he died. A friend who was with him at the time of the crash testified before the House panel that Taylor, who was home on Christmas break, also had smoked an herbal blend of potpourri that mimics the effects of marijuana before he ran onto the highway. “Bath salts,” marketed under such names as Blue Majic, Blue Silk, Ivory Snow, Vanilla Sky and Purple Wave,
are being sold in some of the same types of stores that sold synthetic marijuana products like K2 and Spice. Investigators say “bath salts” have been linked to several deaths across the nation. Kansas lawmakers banned the synthetic marijuana-like substance K2 last year, but the potpourri is showing up under different names with different chemical compounds than the ones included in the ban. Hill believes legislation is probably going to be introduced this month to address “bath salts.” But he said proper research is necessary to make sure any law isn’t too narrow. “Bath salts” are used as recreational drugs by injection, smoking, snorting or the use of an atomizer. The U.S. Department of Justice issued a DrugAlert Watch on Dec. 17. The salts cause increased heart rate, agitation, diminished requirement for sleep, lack of appetite, increased alertness, anxiety, fits and delusions, and nosebleeds. Prices range from $25 to $50 for a 50-milligram packet.

Big-time blowout
Little sparks KU rout By Gary Bedore
gbedore@ljworld.com
Mario Little realizes time is rapidly running out on his Kansas University basketball career. The Jayhawks’ senior role player from Chicago, in fact, will play just seven more games before tackling the 2010-11 postseason, then the real world. There’s not much time left to leave his Little legacy. “I mean, I want people to remember me when I leave here, so I always try to bring something to the table. At times I don’t, but that’s what I’m thinking when I go out there,” Little said Monday night. He was speaking after exploding for a career-high 17 points off 7-of-9 shooting (3-of-3 from three) in the Jayhawks’ 103-86 victory over rival Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse. While not a performance for the ages, it definitely was huge, especially considering KU needed some extra offense with injured Josh Selby out of the lineup. “I came in and shot yesterday with coach (Joe) Dooley and shot with Travis (Releford) and D. Manning (Danny Manning) today. I put the work in. I wanted to see it translate to the game,” Little said. “I felt good while I was shooting. The first one went down, so I felt comfortable. It was falling for me, so I kept pulling. “It’s not about me, it’s about going home with a win tonight. I feel really good about that,” he added. KU coach Bill Self cited the contributions of Little, Travis Releford (10 points, 4-of-5 shooting) and Thomas Robinson (nine points, seven boards) off the bench. He grinned when asked if senior guard/forward Little was efficient.

Reserves good, but Morris twins key — again Thomas Robinson and Brady Morningstar, the sixth and seventh men when the team is at full strength, were a big part of the story Saturday in Lincoln, Neb., when Kansas University looked so smooth in hammering Nebraska. Most of the talk centered on Mario Little and Travis Releford, the eighth and ninth men on the team in Monday
night’s impressive 103-86 victory against Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse, and rightly so. Still, no matter which supporting players stand out on any given night, nothing ever really changes. It’s Marcus and Markieff Morris, the junior twin brothers from Philadelphia, who make Kansas such a nightmare to face.
They not only give KU the huge advantage going into nearly every game, each post player has an advantage on his man in nearly every offensive skill the game demands. Most obviously, they pass the ball far better than most post players. Trap them, as Missouri did Markieff, and watch him fire the ball to the opposite corner
that resulted in three points. Double Marcus and watch Markieff sprint to the basket for an easy bucket on a pass from his brother. “This team is not a great passing team individually, but because Marcus and Markieff are so advanced skill-set-wise, Please see TWINS, page 5B

Back-to-back Packers aim for repeat By Tom Rock Newsday
In Green Bay, they never do Super Bowls one at a time. The Packers always have played in consecutive championship games. They were winners in the first two Super Bowls, then won Super Bowl XXXI before losing the game the following year. So naturally, the talk around the team Monday — and almost immediately after the confetti hit the ground Sunday night — was-
n’t about the win over the Steelers in Dallas. It was already about Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Yup. They’re thinking about Pack-to-Pack titles. “We’re looking to be back again next year,” cornerback Charles Woodson said. “I really believe that. I think we have the team, we have the nucleus, and we most definitely have the quarterback.” The Packers were the secondyoungest team in the NFL this season, so there is a pretty good chance that they’ll be con-
tenders for the foreseeable future. They also plan on being a lot more healthy in the 2011 season. Ryan Grant, Jermichael Finley, Nick Barnett, Mark Tauscher all will likely be back with the Packers after spending signif icant time on injured reserve in 2010. Those guys undoubtedly want to be in next year’s Super Bowl team picture without an asterisk. “It’s going to be exciting,” coach Mike McCarthy said of starting again with his injured
players back. “On paper, it’s a lot like this year. Coming out of training camp, this was the best football team that I’d stood in front of … Next year is going to be the same thing. I’ll be very excited to coach this group.” “I feel like we’re kind of reloading,” Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers said of the return of players, including Finley, whom he called the best tight end in the NFL. “I think the core, the nucleus of this team, is intact to make runs like this for the next four or five years.”

Packers return as Super Bowl champs GREEN BAY , W IS . (AP) — Thousands of exhausted but euphoric Packers fans welcomed their cherished team home to Green Bay as Super Bowl champions Monday after a nail-biting victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Schools dismissed early, and people took time off work to watch the team’s motorcade travel from Austin Straubel International Air-
port to Lambeau Field along a route that included Lombardi Avenue, named in honor of the legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi. Fans who spent Sunday night partying picked up right where they left off Monday morning, showing up hours early for the parade. They jammed Lambeau’s atrium and clogged the stadium’s
pro shop as they bought piles of Super Bowl gear and memorabilia. To make room, the team finally had to herd shoppers and visitors into a line that stretched outside the stadium. Ashley Ellis, 17, and Erica Christensen, 18, of Oak Creek, went to bed at midnight after celebrating the victory. They were up at 4 a.m. to drive to Green Bay and stake out
a spot for the parade. Asked why anyone would get up at 4 a.m. to visit a football stadium, Christensen replied simply. “Love them,” she said. By early afternoon throngs of fans in cheeseheads, green and gold beads, jerseys and Packer parkas jammed the team’s route, transforming the streets into human trenches.

From here, it looks like very close to the top of that hypothetical list cherished by fantasy-league geeks and daydreaming general managers alike: If you were to start a franchise today, which guy would you take to play the most important position? Tom Brady? Peyton Manning? With a championship ring, a trophy and the best postseason stats to back up the Green Bay Packers’ 4-0 playoff run, Rodgers has nudged himself into that group. Rodgers cannot match Brady’s three Super Bowl titles or Manning’s four regular-season MVPs, but he is almost seven years younger than Manning. So I’d place him in a grouping of two. In that 400-plus-horsepower Camaro he officially received the morning after the Packers’ 31-25 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, Rodgers has symbolically zipped by Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brews, Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan as the NFL’s best quarterback not playing for New England. If Rodgers remains healthy, he has the chance to become the greatest quarterback of his generation. “Aaron played like Aaron Rodgers,” a sleepless Packers coach Mike McCarthy said way too early on the Monday after his first Super Bowl title. “That’s why he’s the MVP. “I think he’s got the best skills in the league for pinpoint accuracy, and his best football is ahead of him.” So give it to the Packers for having the confidence to size their fingers for Super Bowl rings the night before the game was played. It was the same outright gall they displayed when Rodgers and his offensive linemen wore cowboy hats to a trainingcamp dinner. But the primary reason McCarthy knew his team was better than Pittsburgh was the guy he and general manager Ted Thompson chose three years ago to replace Brett Favre when No. 4 still had tread on the tires. Rodgers’ superior skills and reluctance to take Favre-like risks made him the only choice to bring home another Lombardi Trophy. “Aaron’s disciplined,” McCarthy said. “He took no chances. That allowed me to be aggressive as a play-caller. We put ourselves on his shoulders.” But there wasn’t quite as much room up there as one might assume. See, Rodgers has been playing this waiting game all his life. He waited on a college scholarship. He waited on draft night. He waited for Favre to leave the building. And Rodgers, to his benefit, forgets none of it. As graceful as he was in handling the whole Favre mess in 2008, Rodgers wasn’t above needling his coach when they shared the NFL’s biggest Monday morning podium. To some degree, Rodgers is still bothered by the fact that McCarthy, the offensive coordinator of Rodgers’ home-area San Francisco 49ers at the time, took Alex Smith as the No. 1 draft pick. “Mike and I, I’ve had a chip on my shoulder ever since he passed on me in San Francisco.” Rodgers said with a smile. That’s good. Whatever motivates the guy on whom McCarthy eventually gambled and won, the ante to keep it going was just raised. Rodgers joked with reporters who said he has already climbed all of his personal mountains. “As a kid I wanted to win the Super Bowl,” he said. “Now what? Let’s go get another one.” The Packers have that chance now. They’ll bring back the league’s best tight end, a 1,200-yard rusher and all the other playmakers who were lost to injured reserve in 2010. Labor problems willing, the Packers are positioned to be serious contenders for many years to come. Having maybe the league’s best quarterback in his prime will do that for you.

Wilson wins playoff; Woodland finishes fifth SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — Packers fan Mark Wilson celebrated a big victory of his own on a playing field about as close to frozen tundra as it gets on the PGA Tour. A self-described cheesehead from Menomonee Falls, Wis., Wilson won the frostdelayed Phoenix Open on Monday for his second victory in three starts this year, holing a nine-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff with Jason Dufner. “I’m just enjoying the ride here, and that’s just kind of the way I’m going to look at the year here, just ride this train as long as I can,” Wilson said. After playing until dark Sunday and fulfilling parental duties, he was able to watch only a few minutes of the Super Bowl. “I had to wash Lane’s face and put his jammies on, and I had to eat, too,” Wilson said. “The chaos, with two little kids running around — I like the chaos; it’s a good distraction. But at that time, I want to at least get to watch the last 15 minutes of this game. This doesn’t happen every year, the Packers in the Super Bowl. “Luckily, my son, after we played Candy Land in the middle of the fourth quarter, he said, ‘OK, the last two minutes we can watch it together.’ So we watched that last stand, and I was happy that they somehow pulled it off.” Delays for frost and frozen turf the first four days forced the Monday finish. Two strokes ahead when play resumed Monday, Wilson closed with a 2-under 69 to match Dufner at 18 under. Dufner shot a 66, with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fired a final-round 66 to finish at 15-under par, good for a three-way tie for fifth place that earned him $222,650. Woodland ranks seventh on the PGA Tour money list, one spot ahead of Phil Mickelson, with $675,526 in earnings.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL OSU forward faces rape charges STILLWATER, OKLA. — Oklahoma State suspended starting forward Darrell Williams on Monday after he was charged with four felony counts alleging he inappropriately touched two women without their consent. Williams, 21, made a brief court appearance after he was charged with one count of sexual battery and three counts of rape by instrumentation. Several players, including fellow starters Keiton Page and Jean-Paul Olukemi, came to the courthouse and sat next to Williams in a packed courtroom or waited outside for his hearing to finish. “It goes without saying that we take the charges very seriously,” coach Travis Ford said in a statement. “Darrell will not travel or play while the legal issues are addressed.”
MSU suspends guard Johnson STARKVILLE, MISS. — Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury said guard Ravern Johnson has been suspended indefinitely. Johnson, a 6-foot-7 senior, is averaging a team-leading 17.7 points per game. He was suspended for Saturday’s 58-57 win over LSU because of “inappropriate tweets” that were critical of his role with the team and of fans after the Bulldogs’ 75-61 loss to Alabama on Feb. 2. Johnson scored 10 points in the loss to the Tide. Now Stansbury said Johnson is also facing a suspension for violating the school’s class attendance policy. Johnson will still be able to practice with the team.
NFL Titans promote Munchak NASHVILLE, TENN. — The Tennessee Titans have hired Mike Munchak as the franchise’s 16th head coach, deciding to promote from within to replace Jeff Fisher. Owner Bud Adams Monday called the move a special day for the franchise; Munchak becomes the first former player to coach the team. “Mike has been successful at everything he has been associated with at our franchise and I have no reason to believe that he won’t be successful as our head coach,” Adams said in a statement. “He earned Hall of Fame distinction as a player and yearly he has been one of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL. He understands where we have been and knows where we need to go.”

NFL knew about seat problems DALLAS — The NFL knew last week there were problems with the installation of temporary Super Bowl seating sections and hoped until hours before kickoff that they could be fixed. “At the end, we just ran out of time,” NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman said Monday. Four hundred people were forced to give up their seats for the Green Bay Packers’ 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, and instead had to watch the game on monitors or use standing-room platforms in corners of Cowboys Stadium. Another 850 fans were moved from their seats in the temporary sections to other seats. “It was obviously a failure on our behalf, and we have to take responsibility for that,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “We had, obviously, a lot of challenges this week. There were a lot of things we were trying to deal with. But there’s no excuses. When you put on an event like this, you know you’re going to have those sorts of challenges.” Goodell said the league would give tickets for next year’s Super Bowl to the 400 fans left without a place to sit Sunday. The league already had said it would offer those 400 people refunds of triple the face value of their Steelers-Packers tickets.
Dallas mayor disavows presentation DALLAS — A minor ruckus has arisen over a top Dallas official’s presentation of a “key to the city” to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Vick won the Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award this past season, his second in the NFL since serving 18 months in prison for dogfighting. Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway presented the key at a ceremony in Dallas in the days leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl. In a statement issued Monday, Mayor Tom Leppert said the presentation was made without his knowledge and approval.

Pitt ‘outmans’ West Virginia MORGANTOWN , W.V A. (AP) — Pittsburgh had a solid Plan B for West Virginia in the absence of injured guard Ashton Gibbs — spread the ball around inside to the Panthers’ other playmakers. The fourth-ranked Panthers overcame an awful start by shooting 61 percent from the field in the second half and beat No. 25 West Virginia, 71-66, on Monday night. Without Gibbs, the Panthers’ leading scorer (16.3) who is out up to two weeks with a left knee injury, Pittsburgh had little outside shooting presence — and it didn’t matter. The Panthers, who lead the nation in rebounding margin, outrebounded West Virginia, 40-28, on the strength of 18 offensive boards. “We really focused on rebounding,” Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon said. “We cut down their offensive rebounds. We won with our rebounding and defense and that’s what we set out to do.” From start to finish, Pittsburgh pounded the ball inside, piling up 42 points in the paint against a Mountaineers defense that eventually wore down. Nasir Robinson scored 15 points, Gary McGhee had 13, Travon Woodall added 12 and Brad Wanamaker scored 11 for the Panthers (22-2, 10-1 Big East). “Ashton is a good player and a great shotmaker for us and without him, we just wanted to come out and play our game,” Wanamaker said. “We didn’t want to try and fill in his shoes. We just wanted to stay with Pitt basketball and get the guys that sub in to play their game.” Pittsburgh went hard to the glass after being held to a season-low 23 points in the first half. The Panthers went ahead to stay with 8 minutes left in

Balanced Veritas wins

Baldwin, De Soto split
its last two SEC games, Calipari’s first losing streak since Memphis’ 2004-05 season. Calipari is especially frustrated about Kentucky’s 70-68 loss at Florida on Saturday night, when Brandon Knight’s three-pointer at the buzzer came up short — his only miss from behind the arc in the game. “Only a crisis brings about change,” he said. “We’re still the same team that’s lost four tough games and they’ve all been tough, tight sickening to lose. ... The last one is the one I got angry about because I’m looking at the tape right after the game on the plane and I see the same things I saw (in losses) against Mississippi and Alabama.” The Volunteers (15-8, 5-3) may benefit from having their leader back on the sideline wearing the bright-orange blazer he reserves only for Kentucky and Vanderbilt games. Still, they’re coming off their own sickening overtime loss to SEC West Division leader Alabama at home,
and today’s game in Lexington will be their third match in six days. Both teams are fighting to hang on in a tight SEC East Division battle. Tennessee is second and one loss behind division leader Florida while Kentucky’s four losses ties them with Georgia, South Carolina and Vanderbilt in the loss column. “I think it speaks to how balanced the league is. I think it’s just going to be (like that) night in and night out,” Pearl said. Calipari said he accepts the blame for Kentucky’s struggles right now, but he also said team meetings and individual meetings have been a waste of time and it’s up to the players to change what’s happening. “Crisis will bring about change unless you really don’t care, and if you don’t care, everybody will see it,” he said. “When you lose in this sport, it’s a crisis. If you play for me, you understand it’s a crisis. Now my thing to them again, we’re playing to get better.”

Vols’ Pearl returns from suspension KNOXVILLE, TENN. (AP) — Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl is back after his eight-game suspension from Southeastern Conference play. He still feels like more punishment is on the horizon with the Volunteers’ playing No. 18 Kentucky and No. 17 Florida this week. Though Pearl has had plenty of success at Florida’s O’Connell Center, he hasn’t won at Kentucky’s Rupp Arena since a 75-67 victory on Feb. 7, 2006, against a Tubby Smith-coached Wildcats team. “When Commissioner (Mike) Slive penalized me the eight games, I think he originally wanted to do 10, but when he looked at the schedule and saw that I have to go to Rupp and the O’Dome, he decided to settle for just eight and make me go those two place,” Pearl joked Monday.

Tennessee is trying to get better too after three conference losses and a non-conference miss at then-No. 8 Connecticut. The Vols are also hoping for the return of junior guard Scotty Hopson, who missed both the Alabama game and a victory at Auburn after spraining his left ankle in practice on Feb. 1. Hopson, a native of Hopkinsville, Ky., is still questionable but went through a walkthrough at Thompson-Boling Arena on Sunday afternoon. Pearl knows the Vols may still be haunted by the talk about the ongoing NCAA investigation but said he’ll be glad to get back on the Vols’ bus for the trip to Lexington after spending the last eight games watching the Vols play on TV either from his home or in a hotel room. “I’m just glad to be back in a position where I could help, whatever’s over or not over. That eight-game suspension is over, but there’s other areas that we have to contend with, and we are contending with.”

Tigers lament defensive performance By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
Giving up 100 points in a college basketball game is never easy to swallow. Surrendering that many points to an archrival makes life even tougher. And watching someone crack the century mark when you pride yourself on defense can take a team to the brink of insanity. Such was life for Missouri on Monday night, which lost to No. 2 Kansas University, 103-86, at Allen Fieldhouse, the Tigers’ 12th-straight setback in Lawrence.
“You gotta give credit to Kansas, they’re a real good team,” said Mizzou junior Laurence Bowers, who led the Tigers with 19 points. “Obviously, we all know that. But I don’t think we played the best defense that we could’ve played. We gave up 103 points, and that’s very unlike us.” Missouri (18-6 overall, 4-5 Big 12) entered Monday’s Border War battle with an 83.3 points-against average per game. The fact that the Jayhawks (23-1, 8-1) blew that mark out of the water was bad enough. The way they did it caused some head-scratching. “I thought they played a
whale of a second half,” Missouri coach Mike Anderson said of Kansas. “They went on one of those spurts where they really just made a lot of threes and just kind of got the game expanded to their benefit.” Kansas had plenty to do with MU’s shortcomings. The Jayhawks shot 67 percent from the floor in the second half — 61 percent for the game — including 6-of-10 shooting from three-point range in the second 20 minutes. “Kansas is a team that can score,” Anderson said. “And they really hit some tough shots. They hit a lot of those
threes that kind of broke your back.” Added MU g uard Phil Pressey (17 points): “I’ve been watching film on them for the past couple of days, and those shots they were hitting kind of surprised me. I mean, I know he (KU senior Mario Little, 17 points) can shoot, and he’s a D-I basketball player, but it just kind of surprised us. He played well. Seven-for-nine, that’s a good game for anybody in this conference.” Although KU’s deft touch from distance crippled the Tigers, Anderson said the difference in the game was the
way KU changed its attack in the second half. “They really kind of took the fight to us,” Anderson said. “I think they established that they were going inside.” That was the idea, said KU coach Bill Self, who actually praised the Tigers’ first-half defense. “To be honest with you, the way they guarded us in the first half was perfect,” Self said. “They kept us on the perimeter and didn’t allow us to throw it in to our bigs.” By game’s end, three MU players had fouled out, and Kansas had rolled up its highest point total against Mis-
souri since drubbing the Tigers, 105-73, in January of 2002. What’s more, KU’s 57 points in the second half were the most given up by Mizzou this season. The previous high came when Northern Illinois scored 44 in a 97-61 loss at Missouri two days after Christmas. “We scored enough points to win the game,” Pressey said. “I just thought on the defensive end it was a poor job by us, and we’re gonna have to get better at it.” Added Anderson: “I don’t know if anybody would say a lot of defense was played, but a lot of scoring took place.”
NOTEBOOK Selby on mend Kansas University freshman guard Josh Selby, who has a stress reaction in his right foot, missed his second straight game. “They tell me (that on) Thursday, he’ll be good to go,” KU coach Bill Self said of the combo guard from Baltimore. Earlier on Monday’s Big 12 teleconference, Self discussed Selby’s injury in detail. “He thought he had a sore foot. We are talking about minor stuff going into our Texas Tech game (last Tuesday),” Self said. “I believe he was going for one of the loose balls on the sideline. It became more sore after that, not to the point where we thought he was injured by any stretch. He talked to the trainers. They looked at it, did an X-ray and MRI. Everything came out negative, but there’s a hot spot so to speak which means he could play on it, but if he were to roll it, there could be a chance Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo there could become a line or a KANSAS’ MARIO LITTLE (23) stress fracture that could put SHOOTS over Missouri’s Kim him out a substantial amount English.

“Tonight he was efficient. There are times where he is very efficient, and there are days where he is very offensive in how aggressive he can be or how he wants to score,” Self said. “The last two games we have been fairly effective in playing him and Marcus (Morris, 22 points, eight boards) or Markieff (Morris, 16 points, seven boards) and Thomas (Robinson) together, and they’ve done a pretty good job.” Self continued to discuss lightheartedly the play of Little, who for this night indeed resembled his childhood idol, Michael Jordan — or at least the former Chipola (Fla.) CC player who at least once scored 25 points in a single half. “Of course Mario is going to give himself a chance to score because he’s going to clip it off just as soon as he touches it,” Self said. “But tonight he was feeling it, and of course he bailed us out.” Little scored seven points and Marcus Morris five in a 14-8 run that turned a 22-17 deficit into a 31-30 lead with 6:21 left in the first half.
He iced a three from the corner that opened a 5-0 burst that turned a 36-36 tie into a 41-36 lead. He also scored three points in a 10-2 run that upped a 6558 lead to 75-60 with 11 minutes left, as the Jayhawks (231, 8-1) finally pulled away from the gritty Tigers (18-6, 4-5), who have dropped 12 in a row in Allen. That Little three was a Tiger back-breaker. The shot clock was down to three when he hoisted, the ball swishing and giving KU a 72-60 lead. “I heard like, ‘seven, five, four, three (from crowd).’ I said, ‘OK,’’’ Little said of figuring he needed to fire away. “I heard Tyshawn ask for the ball, but I was going to take it there.” Little was not amazed at a KU offense that hit for the third-most points against Mizzou in Allen Fieldhouse history (the high-water mark is 112 in 1974) and knocked down 60.7 percent of its shots. “Coach designs good plays. I mean, I feel we’ve got one of the best coaching staffs in the country,” Little said. “We run our offense like it’s supposed to be run, I think we’ll get a good shot every time.” Other keys to the victory?
Marcus Morris erupted for 17 points the second half after Self “told me at half to play like an All-American, like people expect you to play.” Also, Tyshawn Taylor who missed 10 of 14 shots, did finish with 13 points and four assists on a night KU dished 23 assists to just 12 turnovers. Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed had eight points apiece as KU scored 100 points for the ninth time in the Self era, just the third time over the century mark in a Big 12 regular-season game. MU’s 86 points tied for fifth-most points a Self team has allowed. “I thought Missouri played really well the first half,” Self said. “I thought they outplayed us, and we were fortunate to be up four just because Mario (Little) and Travis (Releford) made some shots and Travis made a good play at the end of the half (hit jumper to give KU 46-42 lead). We didn’t play very well in the first half, we didn’t really guard them. Of course they are very quick. I thought the second half we played really well. I thought it was a very good team playing in the second half.” KU will meet Iowa State at 3 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Releford makes most of time By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com
Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo
KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD REACTS after being whistled for a foul during the second half.
At the four-minute media timeout, Kansas University assistant coach Danny Manning looked down the bench and could see the frustration on Travis Releford’s face. The KU sophomore hadn’t gotten in yet, and with teammate Mario Little playing so well, it didn’t appear l i ke ly t h a t h e wo u l d ge t m u c h o f a n o p p o r t u n i ty Monday night. Manning made his way to Releford to say something: Just keep your head, Travis. You’re going to get your chance. The coach’s words turned out to be prophetic. Shortly after the timeout, Little picked up two fouls in 20 seconds, giving him three personals. KU coach Bill Self sent in
Releford with 2:07 left in the first half; it was the start of a 16-minute, 10-point performance from Releford in KU’s 103-86 victory over Missouri. “Once I got in,” Releford said, “I just did what I had to do.” The sophomore’s confidence soared after KU’s final possession of the first half, when he faked a three to get a defender in the air, took a few dribbles, then knocked down a 15-foot baseline shot just before the buzzer. Overall, Releford went 4for-5 from the floor and 2-for2 from three-point range. Coming into Monday’s game, the small forward had played just 13 combined minutes in eight conference games after spraining his ankle on Jan. 9 against Michigan. “You guys saw it. He’s not healthy. He’s still gimping
around a little bit,” Self said. “That ankle sprain’s been going on for a month now. But one thing about Travis, he’s confident. “He was great. He made some big-time plays for us.” Releford admitted after the game that he still isn’t 100 percent. He explained that during the Michigan game, his ankle actually popped out of place, then snapped back into place by the time the trainers made it to him. The ankle swelled up for a couple of weeks, limiting him so he couldn’t do much. Now, he’s rehabbing it, icing it and trying to get some motion back into it to regain his explosiveness. “I’ll be fine before the season’s over with for sure,” Releford said. “It’s just day-byday.” Releford’s injury was most
evident in pregame warmups, when he had to lay in a few alley-oops because his leaping ability wasn’t there. He’s one of three Jayhawks — along with Tyrel Reed and Josh Selby — to have ankle or foot injuries. “We had a joke about it: Every f irst of the month, they’re handing out boots to us,” Releford said with a laugh. The bum ankle hasn’t kept him from shooting. Releford said he’d been coming in early to get up more outside shots so he could be sure to make those attempts in a game. “It’s very frustrating, coming off from the beginning of the year when I started out so well, then I went down with the injury,” Releford said. “I’m just trying to do whatever to help my team play better.”

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR (10) pulls up for a three from the corner over Missouri guard Marcus Denmon.
Twins key for Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
we really give the appearance of being a team that can really pass it,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “We can play through our bigs in our halfcourt offense with people not really thinking we’re playing through our bigs because they’re so good when they catch the ball in certain situations.” They make their teammates look better, just as Todd Reesing did during his remarkable career as KU’s quarterback. They do the things for Kansas that point guards usually do for teams. Former NBA star Paul Pressey, a teammate of Missouri coach Mike Anderson at Tulsa, played in such a way as to inspire the invention of a new position: point forward. The Morris twins, playing in a game that featured two of Pressey’s sons playing on the perimeter for the opposition, played like point posts. Their passing radar is just one of the ways they set themselves apart. Never do the Morris twins play a game in which the other post players have better hands than they have. They catch everything thrown to them and don’t bobble rebounds. Rare is the college basketball post player who can blow by his man on the dribble as easily as Marcus does. On most nights, they have a big
advantage on their men as inside scorers, because of their strength and quickness, and on the perimeter, because of their shooting touches. Most big men have trouble keeping up with them running the floor, which is a big reason Kansas doesn’t get burned by three-pointers in defensive transition, and a factor in the twins doing so well at establishing inside position on offense. Their superb body control and clever footwork make them better than most at drawing fouls. Too often, big men look as if they play the game because they’re tall and somebody told them they needed to put that height to use. The Morris twins look as if they play the game because they were born thinking it, so why not play it? Smart players. Missouri held Marcus scoreless the first 10 minutes of the game, and he finished with a game-high 22 points to go with eight rebounds (five offensive) and three assists. Markieff, showing a hook shot that’s looking better all the time and a desire to make himself feared at the defensive end, pitched in with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots. Combined, they made 13 of 17 field goals. The 19th-ranked Tigers (18-6 overall, 4-5 in the Big 12) shot the ball well (51.7 percent), took good care of
the basketball (eight turnovers). Their guards showed they are quicker with the ball than the KU guards are defending it. They did a lot of things that winning teams usually do, but like most teams, Mizzou had no answer for the twins. Once Marcus established himself in the paint, Kansas steadily pulled away. “I felt like in the first half I was very ineffective, and coach told me at halftime, ‘Play like an All-American, play like people expect you to play.’ So I just tried to play hard and these guys backed me up,” said Marcus, who had 17 points in KU’s 57point second half. Kansas shot .667 in the second 20 minutes. “Coach said, ‘Get it down low, get it down low, get it down low,’ in the second half,” Marcus said. “That’s what he was saying because he just felt like we weren’t doing that in the first half. We weren’t getting their bigs in foul trouble. I felt like we did that real well in the second half.” So well, in fact, that Ricardo Ratliffe and Laurence Bowers, Missouri’s starting post players, combined for seven personal fouls. Marcus went to the line 12 times in the second half. He only made seven of them, keeping KU from topping the 60 mark in a second half in which the team he leads looked frighteningly good.

of our years together. Early in our marriage, we had trouble, and I didn’t know if we’d make it. A friend advised me to focus on what I loved about him — not what he could do for me, but the qualities he possessed that caused me to fall in love with him. Remembering that has kept me satisfied all these years. We’re raising several children, so time alone is rare. However, we flirt regularly anniesmailbox@creators.com and make time to talk, cuddle rassed in front of them. It like- and be together. It’s easy to get ly stems from an incident in caught up in the kids, career her childhood. If she is willing and other outside activities, to examine her fears, she may be able to overcome them. Some people have found success with behavior modification, hypnotherapy, counseling and/or medication. If you are close to your nephew, suggest that Jane discuss it with her doctor. John also can get more information through the National Institute of Mental Health at 1-866-615-NIMH (1866-615-6464). Beyond that, please don’t make an issue of this. She intends no offense.

Coming rather hot on the heels of the limp NBC sitcom “Perfect Couples,” the new series “Traffic Light” (8:30 p.m., Fox) demonstrates just how hard it can be to translate the Judd Apatow bro-mantic comedy to the small screen. Best buds Mike (David Denman), Adam (Nelson Franklin) and Ethan (Kris Marshall) are pals since their college-baseball days and spend entirely too much time on the phone with one another. Adam has a hot wife, Mike a hot girlfriend, and Ethan is a would-be player with an English accent. Their basic life strategy seems to be to get the girl in order to ignore her and hang out with the guys and yak about stuff like the ladies on “Sex and the City.” As on “Perfect Couples,” the story explores the tensions between goofy dude-dom and the inevitability of domesticity. Not to give too much away here, but the guys also have a shared tragedy, a sad truth not so much central to the story but a means to hook the audience with sad sentimentality, much in the same way that a cad might use a sob story to get over on a woman. Before, of course, ignoring her to hang out with the guys. ● “Raising Hope” (8 p.m., Fox) returns with an original episode that reminds us why this has become the most acclaimed new sitcom of the season. Turning easy assumptions about race, class and ethnicity on their heads, this nicely written episode features a guest spot from Tichina Arnold, who was so unforgettable on “Everybody Hates Chris.” ● “Pioneers of Television” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) explores the world of the local TV hosts of children’s programming such as “Bozo” and “Romper Room,” a bygone phenomenon that lives on only in fiction with Krusty the Clown on “The Simpsons.”
Tonight’s other highlights ● Valentine’s Day looms on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Friendly rivals on “No Ordinary Family” (7 p.m., ABC). ● Anna has a secret weapon on “V” (8 p.m., ABC). ● Alicia tangles with a familiar face on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Haddie and Alex clash on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Unpleasant secrets slow down two investigations on “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC). ● An opera star recalls her education during the waning days of segregation in the film “When I Rise” on “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● Money worries give way to marital discord on “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX). ● Sixteen marksmen compete for the title of “Top Shot” (9 p.m., History) as the series enters its second season. ● The travel and drinking series “Three Sheets” (9:30 p.m., Spike) comes to a new network. ● The teen series “My Life as Liz” (10 p.m., MTV) enters a second season. This year, the small-town Texas girl moves to New York to attend art school. Cult choice Ray Liotta and Willem Dafoe star in the 2004 shocker “Control” (8:30 p.m., TMC).

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ An active stance surprises no one. A family member doesn't support your approach or desire to get key matters under control. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Make an effort to get past another person's vitriol and to get to the real issue. This person might not be able to explain his or her stance, forcing you to do the work to decipher his or her message. Tonight: Follow the music. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You often defer to a partner. Today this person is happy to pitch in. You might be overwhelmed by others' need to get to the bottom of a problem. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ If you stop and consider various situations, you could be raining on your own parade — the problem is you, not others. Take this person seriously. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Your ability to make a difference reflects in your productivity when you are focused. Evaluate what a family member really expects. Tonight: Working too late! Sagittarius (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21) ★★★★★ Once more, let your imagination flow. You might push away a friend who is touchy, but you cannot remain positive and upbeat with "that someone" around. Tonight: Talking up a storm. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Stay anchored and direct. Fatigue marks your professional interactions. You could be too involved sometimes, and not taking good care of yourself. Tonight: Deal with a situation. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You might be uncomfortable or too direct. You wonder what is going on and have a tremendous need for answers. Tonight: Hanging out with a friend. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Curb a tendency to overdo it. What you think is helping could be quite off. More and more, a partner becomes closed off. Tonight: Fun doesn't need to cost. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only. Bigar's Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth.

When speaking to a group of people, express your imagination. Fatigue could mark a child or loved one who might be difficult. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Dear Annie: Every year, we invite our extended family for the holidays. Last year, we had our nephew, “John,” and his wife, “Jane.” John is a terrific, lovable, normal 30-something. Jane, on the other hand, is not nearly as normal. For example, John removes his coat after arriving, but Jane keeps hers on for the entire visit. John participates in the conversation, while Jane shies away from talking. Dinner, however, is the strangest part. We have never seen Jane eat a single bite. She doesn’t even pretend to eat. She simply places her napkin on her plate. At first, we thought she was a germaphobe, except we have been guests in their home for meals and Jane does not join the guests at the table. I once found her alone in the kitchen with a plate of food. When I asked her to come into the dining room, she replied, “The dog likes my company.” Do you think she has some fear of eating in front of other people? How can we make her more comfortable in our home? Is this something we should be concerned about? — Worried Relative
