KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER JEFF WITHEY BLOCKS A SHOT by Kansas State guard Rodney McGruder. Withey ended up with five blocks Monday and has a school record of 263 for his career. Another game highlight: Ben McLemore scored 30 points on his 20th birthday as KU snapped a three-game losing streak with an 83-62 rout at Allen Fieldhouse. See a photo gallery from the game at KUSports.com.

McLemore with “Happy Birthday.”

“It was great to be back home playing Kansas basketball,” McLemore said. “Last week was a bad week, but it was a lot of fun to be back in Allen Fieldhouse tonight.”

The lopsided victory that completed a season sweep of Kansas State ended the school’s first three-game losing streak in eight seasons. It also left Kansas (20-4) and KState (19-5) tied for first atop

the Big 12 standings with 8-3 conference records.

Senior center Jeff Withey, sporting from the start that angry face he sometimes fashions, added 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. His first rejection broke Greg Ostertag’s school record for blocks. At 263, Withey is now one block short of the Big 12 record.

From the World War II Memorial Campanile to Potter Lake to the view northward from atop Mount Oread, the landscape of the oldest parts of the Kansas University campus will now be recognized and protected for its historical significance.

On Saturday the Kansas Historical Society Historic Sites Board of Review agreed to create a KU Historic District. The district, which surrounds Jayhawk Boulevard and the crest of Mount Oread, is listed now on the Register of Historic Kansas Places, and it’s awaiting consideration for the National Reg- KANSAS ister of Histor- UNIVERSITY ic Places.

“I think there’s little question in the minds of many folks that we have some very important historic aspects that need to be not only recognized but also designated as such,” said Ed Martinko, the director of the Kansas Biological Survey who as president of the Historic Mount Oread Friends advisory board helped push for the designation.

What all that means is that the beauty of the Mount Oread scenery will be preserved for generations to come, said Dale Slusser, vice president of the HMOF board.

“I think it’s a real strong asset of the university, the beauty of our campus, and this is really going to help the university to preserve that,” Slusser said.

Legislation would prohibit use of public funds in lobbying

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Pyle

TOPEKA — A bill prohibiting the use of public funds to lobby the Legislature was hailed on Monday by supporters as a way to protect taxpayers, but opponents said it would stifle crucial,

local input on important issues.

A hearing on Senate Bill 109 drew a standing-roomonly crowd before the Senate Ethics, Elections and Local Government Committee.

After the hearing, Chairman Dennis Pyle, R-Hiawatha, said he was un-

The bill would allow government officers or employees to communicate with a member of the Legislature if

they were asked.

Democratic legislators blast anti-union bills

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Democratic legislators Monday blasted Republican-sponsored anti-union proposals they said would silence opposing viewpoints.

Measures that would prohibit voluntary paycheck deductions for union political action committees, eliminate collective bargaining laws, delay unemployment benefits and change the workers’ compensation appeal process are all moving through the Legislature.

“I have never seen an all-out assault on working Kansans like we are witnessing right now,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence.

Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, said House Bill 2023 is taken straight

Lobbying CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Missy Cohlmia, a spokeswoman for Koch Industries, said the business did not lobby on this bill. She added, “Equally troubling is the senator’s attack on a Kansas-based company that employs nearly 3,000 people in the state and pays compensation and benefits totaling more than $370 million.”

House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, defended the Republicanbacked measures.

“House Republicans believe in giving Kansas workers options,” Merrick said. “The bills empower workers to negotiate the terms of their employment directly with employers, giving them more freedom and more choices. This is good for the worker as well as the employers who create jobs.”

The Democrats held a

highway improvements.

Clancy Holeman, an attorney for Riley County, said the ability for local officials to lobby the Legislature was crucial several years ago when lawmakers approved a bill that dealt with buffer requirements between Fort Riley and residential development.

“We had a much better bill that passed” because of those discussions, he said.

Questions also arose if local chambers of commerce and businesses that receive some public funding would be prevented from conferring with legislators.

But Sedgwick County Commissioner Karl Peterjohn said when he was the head of the Kansas Taxpayers Network and testified in the Legislature against spending or taxes, he was often opposed by taxpayer-paid lobbyists representing cities or school districts.

“We need an equal and level playing field and that does not exist when tax dollars are used,” Peterjohn said.

“Stifling discussion is not the democratic way.

Passing laws prohibiting some from petitioning the Legislature is not the democratic way. Muzzling the opposition is about as un-democratic as it gets,” Moler said.

Several city, county and school district officials from across the state urged the committee to reject the bill.

news conference to unveil a series of measures they said would help working families.

One proposal would create preferences to hire Kansans and purchase from Kansans first in the procurement of state labor and services.

Another would increase the state minimum wage by tying it to the consumer price index. The current state minimum wage is the same as the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.

And Holland has introduced a bill that would require state government to use the federal database E-verify to check the immigration status of new employees. The legislation also would apply to state contracts.

from model legislation put together by the corporatefunded American Legislative Exchange Council.

The Kansas Chamber of Commerce-backed measure would prohibit public union members from making voluntary payroll deductions to their organization’s political action committee.

Supporters of the bill say it would protect workers who disagree with their unions and remove government from the process of deducting pay for union activity.

But Holland said that HB 2023 was an example of measures supported by Charles and David Koch “to benefit their interests.”

The brothers are the owners of Wichita-based Koch Industries and financial supporters of several conservative causes.

Judy Bellome can tell you that the emergency room of Kings County Hospital in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., isn’t exactly a place where a lot of kings come to visit.

But as a nurse in the hospital’s

emergency department from 1969 to 1971, she can attest that it is a place where you learn a lot.

Like, if young children eat lead paint that has chipped off from a tenement wall, they really will have seizures and convulse. Or that gunplay in Flatbush isn’t too uncommon, and that — perhaps not unrelated — there were reasons

of people around you, and you have to be willing to learn how to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.�

Bellome has a team she is interested in joining now. Bellome is one of 11 candidates who has filed for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission.

Being part of a team that runs a community is appealing to her, in part, because she’s lived in a lot of them. She grew up the daughter of an Air Force father who moved his family to eight states during Bellome’s education. “I attribute my flexibility and comfort level with being drawn toward change,� Bellome said. “I am a change agent and a risk-taker.�

A caregiver Bellome, 67, retired in December as the chief executive officer of the Lawrence-based Visiting Nurses Association.

It completed a career that has been spent in the caregiving field, and began about age 16.

As a high school student in the small Air Force town of Burns Flat, Okla., Bellome took an interest in a young grade school-age neighborhood boy who had cerebral palsy. “I would just read to him when he and his parents would come over to our house,� Bellome said. “Then his mother started asking me to come over and help care for him. It was a turning point. I found I really got a lot out of being a caregiver, and I was good at it.

Good enough that Bellome got accepted into medical school at the University of Oklahoma, but instead chose to pursue a degree in nursing in order to be closer to her family, which already had moved from Oklahoma by the

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD time she was ready to start school.

For years, Bellome largely lived in the Kansas City area, where she was the director of the nonprofit nursing organization Clinicare for 10 years. She then moved into a corporate job with Atlanta-based GranCare, where she helped set up home health care agencies in markets across the country.

Bellome also taught nursing classes at Avila University in Kansas City, and there she put her philosophy of change into practice when she happened to see a Navy recruiter on campus one day. “I told him that I kind of had always wished that I had joined the Navy,� Bellome said. “Being a good recruiter, he said, ‘You still can.’�

For eight years, Bellome ended up serving as a Naval Reserve officer, ultimately rising to a commanding officer status on a hospital ship. She left the service right as the Desert Storm conflict was beginning, in large part, because her husband — who is an oral surgeon — was on active duty in Iraq. She needed to stay home and care for their children.

Bellome’s final act in the caregiving business was at the Visiting Nurses Association, where she served as the nonprofit’s leader from 2005 to 2012.

The association has been a long-time provider of home health care throughout Douglas County, but under Bellome’s leadership the organization expanded into Topeka.

It also started a new practice that allowed the organization to service patients with private insurance, rather than just relying on Medicare reimbursements.

The changes helped the organization’s annual budget grow from about $2 million when she started to about $6 million nearly seven years later. “You definitely learn

how to set your priorities and spend your money in ways to support those priorities,� Bellome said.

Issues Bellome plans to remind voters that she is the only candidate who can bring a retiree’s perspective to the commission, which she said may be useful as the city considers ways to make the community more of destination for retirees. Bellome said she strongly supports those efforts, as well as making the community more attractive to retirees who already live here. On other issues, Bellome said she:

Wants City Hall to start taking a longer-term look at community needs as part of the city’s annual budget process. “I want the City Commission to be planning at least three to five years down the road,�

Bellome said.

Will look for ways to improve communication between City Hall and residents. “There are a lot of questions that arise because people think they don’t know or think they haven’t been told everything,� Bellome said. “I would like to address that.�

A Feb. 26 primary will narrow the field of 11 city commission candidates down to six. The general election, where the top three vote winners will take a seat on the commission, will be April 2. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

MAKING A PLAY FOR THE HEART P.E. programs teach students importance of cardiovascular health

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

During physical education at Langston Hughes School, P.E. teacher Reenie Stogsdill has her students jog two laps around the gym before sitting in lines.

Stogsdill uses February, which is American Heart Month, to remind her students how lucky they are to be able to take that quick run at the Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo beginning of class.

Go Red campaign gets to the heart of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health

By Gracie Bonds Staples The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A

the organization hopes to prevent Americans from developing a heart disease and help the people who may already have it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be proactive about your health and be in tune with your body,â&#x20AC;? said Stefani Spainhower, an ambassador for the American Heart Association.

Spainhower was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at age 29 and was a heart surgery survivor by age 31. She said part of her experience was learning that heart disease doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen to older people and it is important to be proactive in preventing heart problems.

Signs of a heart disease include shortness of breath, being easily fatigued, muscle aches, palpitations and decreased physical stamina.

Dreiling said that oftentimes people think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting old and so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to run as far or work out as long as they used to, but it could actually be heart disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to be hypochondriacs â&#x20AC;Ś but if symptoms are persistent, they should be brought to (a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) attention,â&#x20AC;? Spainhower said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask for a cardiologist or specialist.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from eating healthy and exercising, visiting the doctor on a semi-annual or annual basis is also a way to prevent heart disease. Dreiling suggests that, starting at age 30 if not earlier, people get their blood pressure checked at each check-up and getting cholesterol checked at least once a year. It is important to start to consistently check blood pressure and cholesterol because it is easier to make lifestyle changes at age 30 than it is at age 60.

Spainhower said the American Heart Association is a great resource for people wanting to learn more about heart disease, and she encouraged the community, especially younger people who may not feel as at risk, to educate themselves and try to stay as healthy as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re responsible for your own body, and prevention is key,â&#x20AC;? she said.

For more information on the American Heart Association and heart disease, visit their website, heart.org.

of heart attack in pregnant and postpartum women, but most labor and delivery nurses still arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She was 36, and nearly a decade would pass before the American Heart Association would launch its

tors for developing the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Go Red for Women movement was designed to close that gap by spreading awareness, encouraging women to focus on their heart health, and advocating for policies that support research and science related to improving these statistics,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Coletti became interested in the campaign the moment she heard about it 10 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started to buy promotional items and collecting and passing out pins and information brochures about warning signs, what you needed to know about heart disease,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave them in doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; waiting rooms and give them to everyone I knew.â&#x20AC;?

She does not want others to go through what she endured.

After her second heart attack, one of Colettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nurses knew something wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.

The nurse pulled Phil

Coletti aside with a warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to find someone to help with this or she is not going to survive,â&#x20AC;? the nurse told him.

Phil Coletti immediately found a cardiologist who told him his wife had a dissection or split between the layers of the wall of a blood vessel (artery) that provides blood flow to the heart. After consulting with his colleagues, the doctor transferred Kathy to nearby Saint Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Atlanta.

Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart was in bad shape. Doctors performed a quadruple bypass surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It worked out well in the end, but unfortunately I have a lot of scar tissue and my heart is not as strong as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it to be,â&#x20AC;?

Kathy Coletti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way to improve is to have a stem cell transfer down the road. At least I have hope that in 10 years, I will be able to have my heart back.â&#x20AC;?

WARNING SIGNS Heart symptoms common to women:

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kathy Colettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been happier at the birth of her children.

But unrecognized cardiovascular problems nearly took her from them and her husband, Phil, before the little ones left the hospital.

After years of trying to conceive, of moving between hope and despair, she and Phil had finally welcomed quadruplets into their family: two boys, two girls. All healthy.

But within days of their arrival on April 24, 1995, Kathy Coletti started to get progressively weaker until she suffered a major heart attack.

A week later, she and the quadruplets were still at Northside Hospital in Atlanta when she had a second heart attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had what is known as SCAD, or spontaneous coronary artery dissection. It is the No. 1 cause

Go Red movement, combining consumerism and altruism in its fight against heart disease.

Go Red for Women is credited with funding millions of dollars of research specific to cardiovascular disease in women, raising awareness and thus decreasing the number of women who die from it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started this campaign 10 years ago, about 500,000 women were dying each year,â&#x20AC;? said Erica Ross, director of metro Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Go Red for Women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today that number is down to about 450,000 each year, so we still have quite a bit of work to do.â&#x20AC;?

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, Ross said. It kills one woman in every three.

Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease, and the gap between menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival continues to widen.

Doctor: Are avid exercisers hurting their hearts?

By Leslie Barker

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

The Dallas Morning News

A RUNNER IS SURPRISED WITH A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL at a previous Sweetheart Run/Walk 5K. The race will take place Saturday in North Lawrence.

5K for sweethearts planned for Saturday

By Erika Gray

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really one for receiving flowers or candy for Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. And jewelry? Just a waste of money that could go to a good cause.

If you or a loved one feels the same way, consider giving the Sweetheart Run/Walk 5K as a gift this year.

Study: Teen pregnancy fell to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;historic lowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Births to women ages 15-19 and 20-24 in the U.S. declined to â&#x20AC;&#x153;historic lowsâ&#x20AC;? in 2011, declining to 31.3 births per 1,000 women, said researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Controlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Center for Health Statistics.

Writing in the journal Pediatrics on Monday, Brady E. Hamilton and colleagues summarized vital statistics from birth certificates and death records in all 50 U.S.

states and the District of Columbia. Overall, there were 3,953,593 births in the U.S. in 2011, 1 percent fewer than in 2010. The birth rate was 12.7 births per 1,000 total population, the lowest rate ever reported in the nation.

Breaking the data down by ages, birth rates fell for women ages 15-29 and rose for women 35-39 and 40-44.

Rates were unchanged for women 30-34 and 45-49.

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dr. Chip Lavie says he has to wear body armor to races these days because of hostility from fellow runners, and he sounds like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only partially kidding.

The medical director of cardiac rehabilitation and preventive cardiology at John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans is also is co-author of two recent studies about runningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potentially negative effects on the heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have written in heavily criticizing it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made people think.â&#x20AC;?

Cardiologist and researcher Dr. Chip Lavie offers these takeaways from recent research on running and the heart: After running a marathon, about 25 percent to 30 percent of people have â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant heart abnormalities,â&#x20AC;? he says. Usually, they reverse â&#x20AC;&#x153;over the next 24 hours and especially over the next seven days,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Runners with the largest mortality benefits are those who run 20 miles a week or less, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The data isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so strong that it proves this, but it

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Potential for cardiac harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The essence of the studies is of the good-news, bad-news ilk.

Good news: Runners have a 20 percent lower mortality rate than nonrunners.

Bad news: People who run in higher doses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than 20 miles per week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is not a whole lot,â&#x20AC;? Lavie says â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seem to lose that benefit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have lower mortality with running and at some point it would level off, and there would be no additional benefit,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would level off and head the other way. There actually seems to be a U-shape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At superhigh doses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; marathon running, ultra-marathons, really long-distance bike races â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually potential for cardiac harm.â&#x20AC;?

ning too fast, too far and for too many years may speed oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress toward the finish line of life.â&#x20AC;?

Though his own research has made Lavie, whose marathon personal best is an impressive 3:10, cut back a little, he still runs almost daily (except one day before a short race and two before a long one).

As of right now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sticking with 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to scare people,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more interested in encouraging people to get the maximum benefit at lower levels.

From a society standpoint, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more of a problem with lack of exercise than too much.â&#x20AC;?

That seems to be the crux of local expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; message, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use those studies as a reason not to exercise,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Sarah Samaan, a cardiologist at Legacy Heart Center and Baylor Heart Hospital Plano as well as an avid horseback rider, cyclist, runner and yoga practitioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exercise absolutely lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke and dementia by 30 percent.â&#x20AC;?

Still, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;understand our bodies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t designed to be put through that stress. If you do marathons, understand there

No reason not to exercise Publications have had a track-and-field day with headlines like these: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Running Shoe in the Graveâ&#x20AC;? (The Wall Street Journal). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forget agony of the feet: Running marathons may wreck your heartâ&#x20AC;? (MSN Now). And this from an editorial in the British journal Heart: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Run-

suggests running more isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any better than running less but might be worse. It seems youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing the protection that happens at lower doses.â&#x20AC;?

Intensity is the key word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think if you try to do weights and do a heavy one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 or 15 pounds heavier, what if you lifted it 150, 200 times?â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d almost not be able to move the next day.

In a way, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in a marathon to the heart muscle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it for 30, 40 minutes, but another for many hours straight.â&#x20AC;? can be risks involved with the heart. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to train, do so in a systematic way.â&#x20AC;?

Moderation is key Dr. Kenneth Cooper, whose running life spanned 44 years and 38,000 miles, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more concerned with obesity and inactivity than â&#x20AC;&#x153;an isolated case of someone running and dying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur that much,â&#x20AC;? says Cooper, who is 81 and now walks regularly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chance of dying while exercising is remarkably low. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have deaths doing anything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; watching football even. The value of exercise is overwhelming compared to the risk, but more isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always better.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I think most people realize you can do anything to excess,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Benjamin Levine. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian and professor of medicine and cardiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think most rational people are overly swayed by this,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can always pick out a piece of information suggesting there may be some risk to very intensive exercise, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be foolish

to say there couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any risk. Of course there is. Any exercise tangentially can increase the incidence of having a heart attack compared to doing nothing. But for the most part, people who exercise are healthier.â&#x20AC;?

Heart surgery survivor and marathon runner Don Rossi avidly reads research. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never stop running, though; it saved his life, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so much healthier now that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go back,â&#x20AC;? says Rossi, 51, who no longer takes medicine for hypertension and whose diabetes and weight are well under control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mostly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice about the research.

I know in the back of my mind I could go out for a run and die, just like I could get in the car and be in a terrible wreck and die. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on my list of things that bother me. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my lot in life to die on a run, I can think of worse ways to go.â&#x20AC;?

Levine cites studies his lab has done on elite master athletes who consistently ran more than 25 miles a week for 25 years and competed regularly in high-level competitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found not that their hearts were abnormal, but they were supernormal, indistinguishable from healthy 30-year-olds.

These were 70-year-old men and women whose hearts were compliant, flexible, youthful.â&#x20AC;?

He recommends four or five days a week of â&#x20AC;&#x153;committed exercise.â&#x20AC;? As for himself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have about eight pieces of equipment in my house and am always bringing something new home. I row, I cycle, I jump rope, I play tennis.

At least once a week I do strength training, and everything else is mixed up.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it every day for 40 years.â&#x20AC;?

He offers this piece of advice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be a marathon runner, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be put off by all this. Common sense applies. Have fun.â&#x20AC;?

Speaking from experience Peer support specialists share recovery stories

By Mike Stobbe

By Jeff Burkhead

Associated Press

Bert Nash Mental Health Center

When members of the Bert Nash Peer Support Services team tell a client they can relate to what they are going through, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just being empathetic.

They are speaking from experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the peer support specialists brings their own expertise,â&#x20AC;? said team leader Chris Ford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be a peer support specialist, you have to have been a consumer of mental health services and identify as someone who is in recovery.â&#x20AC;?

The power of their own individual recovery makes the peer support specialists uniquely qualified to do their job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of that, peer support can do things other staff canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Ford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are able to do that because they had similar experiences, and clients will confide in them when they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confide in other staff members. People will share things with (the peer support specialists) that they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shared with anyone in their life before.â&#x20AC;?

All of the peer support specialists have dealt with their own mental illness, so they know from personal experience what kinds of challenges clients are facing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a recovering addict, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a client at Bert Nash for eight and a half years. A lot of the people I visit with deal with the same things,â&#x20AC;? said peer support specialist Cindy Foster.

Because the peer support specialists are viewed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of them,â&#x20AC;? clients may be more likely to share their own struggles.

After early start, worst of flu season may be over

MEMBERS OF THE BERT NASH PEER SUPPORT TEAM are, from left, Susan Murphy, team leader Chris Ford, Cindy Foster, Larry Kay and Deb Chapin.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they confide in me that they are struggling with their addiction, I totally get that.

When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling with medications or their psych drugs, I understand that. When they are having trouble in IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there. I understand this part of it,â&#x20AC;?

Foster said, pointing to her heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I have walked that road.â&#x20AC;?

So has Deb Chapin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in mental health assistance since I was 19 years old and struggled with alcoholism as well,â&#x20AC;? Chapin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recovery from addiction has been a big part of my story, too.â&#x20AC;?

A key part of Chapinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery was mental health services, but it also included Alcoholics Anonymous, her faith and a passion for art.

Each peer support specialist is glad to share his or her story of recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus is really on the stories and sharing those with other people,â&#x20AC;? team leader Ford said.

The peer support pro-

gram was started in 2007.

Each one of the specialists has been trained and is certified by the state.

They work in conjunction with case managers and treatment teams at Bert Nash Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St. Susan Murphy was diagnosed with a mental illness in 1974. She was a teacher at the time but ended up losing her job because of her condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers could not have a mental illness back then,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said of the social stigma long associated with mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I was kind of pushed out of a career and a job.

I had a lot of losses, and I can relate to other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced it.â&#x20AC;?

Murphy, who is referred to as the mother of the group, has been a peer support specialist for about five years, longer than anyone else on the team. But all of the specialists have a unique story, and they are eager to share it in the hopes it will help someone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The peer support specialists are in a very unique position to be able to identify with and serve as role models for other people,â&#x20AC;?

Ford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think that is really powerful.â&#x20AC;?

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The worst of the flu season appears to be over.

The number of states reporting intense or widespread illnesses dropped again last week, and in a few states there was very little flu going around, U.S. health officials said Friday.

The season started earlier than normal, first in the Southeast and then spreading.

But now, by some measures, flu activity has been ebbing for at least four weeks in much of the country. Flu and pneumonia deaths also dropped the last two weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that the worst of the current flu season is over,â&#x20AC;? CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said.

But flu is hard to predict, he and others stressed, and there have been spikes late in the season in the past.

For now, states like Georgia and New York â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices were jammed a few weeks ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are reporting low flu activity. The hot spots are now the West Coast and the Southwest.

In early December, CDC officials announced flu season had arrived, a month earlier than usual.

They were worried, saying it had been nine years since a winter flu season started like this one. That was 2003-04 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the deadliest seasons in the

past 35 years, with more than 48,000 deaths.

Like this year, the major flu strain was one that tends to make people sicker, especially the elderly, who are most vulnerable to flu and its complications But back then, that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flu vaccine wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made to protect against that bug, and fewer people got flu shots. The vaccine is reformulated almost every year, and the CDC has said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccine is a good match to the types that are circulating. A preliminary CDC study showed it is about 60 percent effective, which is close to the average.

So far, the season has been labeled moderately severe.

Village vision Plans for a large “retirement” or “intergenerational” village in Lawrence deserve more discussion before the city makes any financial commitment.

A

request for city funds to get the ball rolling on a proposed retirement village deserves to be pulled off the consent agenda for tonight’s Lawrence City Commission meeting.

The city is being asked to spend up to $12,500 to help draw up the paperwork for a new nonprofit organization intended to develop a plan for a “retirement village” in Lawrence or Douglas County.

It isn’t a huge amount of money — at least at this point — but city approval of the funding would at least imply an endorsement of a project that city taxpayers know very little about. The proposed project deserves more discussion and public input before the city approves even a small investment in moving it forward.

The project apparently has grown out of the vision of City Commissioner Hugh Carter and Kansas University Professor Dennis Domer to create an intergenerational village that would attract KU alumni to retire in Lawrence. According to documents that accompany tonight’s agenda, Carter and Domer envision a village that would be 20 to 60 acres and be a partnership of a number of entities, including the city, the county, KU and Lawrence Memorial Hospital. About 50 to 60 percent of the project would be a not-for-profit “continuing care retirement community” for people 62 and older and would include facilities for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and memory care.

The initiative is being presented as part of an overall strategy to try to address the city’s goal of attracting more retirees to the community, but it raises a number of questions that should at least be discussed before the city agrees to invest. What will the city’s involvement be in the development or ongoing operation of this project? The “continuing care” part of the development seems in direct competition with other private and nonprofit facilities that already operate in Lawrence. Is that something the city should do? There also is some question whether a large development of this kind is what the community had in mind when city officials agreed to an effort to attract retirees.

We understand that the city funding up for approval tonight represents only a small step, but it looks like the first step in something that could become a very large project. City officials and taxpayers need more details about where this train is headed before jumping on board.

Forces in Afghanistan need clear strategy EN ROUTE TO AFGHANISTAN — I’m in a C-17 transport plane with the chairman of the joint chiefs, Gen. Martin Dempsey, to a change-ofcommand ceremony in Kabul, at which Gen. “Fighting Joe” Dunford will take over responsibility for the toughest, most thankless job in the military — overseeing the supposed “end” of our Afghan war.

Dempsey, who travels in a shiny pod within the C-17, complete with working and sleeping quarters and secure communications equipment, is genial and thoughtful, and wears a blue baseball cap with the number 18 (he is the 18th joint chiefs chairman). He stressed the symbolism of the command transfer to reporters with him: Dunford will be final commander of international forces in Afghanistan, tasked with winding down America’s longest war.

The glidepath is set for the drawdown. Yet there is a real prospect the county could revert to chaos, and reemerge as a jihadi haven, if the U.S. exit is badly managed. So Dunford takes over when some of the war’s toughest challenges lie ahead.

“The greatest challenge will come as he covers the period between now and December 2014,” Dempsey said during a stopover in Germany. Dunford will have to continue the fight against al-Qaeda and its allies even as he directs the withdrawal of most of the remaining U.S. troops with staggering amounts of equipment. He must also oversee the transition, by next summer, to full security control by Afghan forces (ready or not).

Moreover, the four-star Marine general will be dealing with a conflict in which the American public and

Yet negotiations on the bilateral accord have dragged on, although they are supposed to be completed no later than May.” Congress have lost interest.

(In eight hours of confirmation hearings for Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense, there were about 37 mentions of Afghanistan and more than 130 of Israel.)

More daunting, Dunford will be pursuing a White House strategy into which he had no input, and whose details remain murky. The speed of the drawdown and how many troops will remain after 2014 is still being debated, with the White House apparently eager to speed the withdrawal and the military reportedly reluctant to rush things.

Dempsey, however, would not define the optimal speed of the drawdown or the appropriate size of a post-2014 force. “Once we have settled the mission, we can provide options,” he said, and “the military at this point is comfortable that the number will match the mission.”

However, the post-2014 mission is still unclear.

It’s been defined in broad terms: training and assisting Afghan forces and continuing the fight against global terrorism. But, depending on

the details, that could involve as few as 2,500 or as many as 20,000 troops; it could hew to a narrow counterterror mission or a broader effort to upgrade Afghan forces and boost morale.

Signals from the White House are contradictory. Recently, a senior administration official said a “zero option” was being considered for after 2014.

“No one has ever mentioned zero to me and I would never recommend zero,” Dempsey said. So why did the White House raise that prospect, and start rumors in Kabul?

Floating the zero option seems even stranger because the performance of Afghan security forces will depend as much on Afghan perceptions of our intent as it will on numbers. If Afghan forces believe the United States is heading headlong for the exits, they may crumble. If Afghanistan’s neighbors — Pakistan, Iran, India, and Russia — conclude the administration is mainly focused on leaving, they will line up proxies for the next Afghan civil war.

“What really hangs in the balance is the confidence level of Afghan forces,” says Dempsey, along with the Afghan public’s confidence in them). So how do we convince Afghans we won’t abandon them after 2014?

One way, says Dempsey, is to conclude a bilateral security agreement with Kabul that will enshrine cooperation after 2014. “We want that in place so in 2014 we will know where we are going.”

During his confirmation hearings in November, Dunford said such an agreement would not only show “that we are committed to the long term,” but would also encourage coalition partners to com-

mit to similar arrangements with Kabul. That, in turn, would influence Pakistan, which still lets the Taliban operate out of its territory.

“I think Pakistan hedges its bets based on what they believe our long-term commitment to the region would be,” Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“And their calculus will be changed as a result of their knowing that we are not only going to be there through December of 2014, but we’ll be there beyond 2014.”

Dempsey believes Pakistan is already more certain Washington won’t abandon Kabul. “Of late, I’ve seen a degree of cooperation on the part of our Pakistani military counterparts that is quite encouraging. I think they finally believe we are not going to shut out the lights and leave.”

Yet negotiations on the bilateral accord have dragged on, although they are supposed to be completed no later than May. Given the administration’s failure to reach a similar security accord with Iraq, one has to wonder if the White House has the will to conclude this one.

Dempsey believes the odds are better for reaching an accord with the Afghans because the process started earlier and the Afghan government has more reason to want a deal than the Iraqis did.

But before an accord can be reached, the White House must decide on its post-2014 strategy.

As we descend into Bagram air base outside Kabul, I can’t help thinking: The sooner that strategy becomes clear, the better “Fighting Joe” Dunford’s prospects will be.

To the editor: Congratulations to Chad Lawhorn for his uplifting article on retiring letter carrier Tom Carlson. It was a particular pleasure to see mention of Carlson’s predecessor, Bill Hayes, who had the West Hills route for decades.

Some will still remember that, during wartime, Mr. Hayes treated all mail from servicemen as special delivery. If a letter home arrived in his bin during the day, he made an extra trip, on his own time, so the family need not wait. Our county administrator may recall how Mr. Hayes once took unusual measures to ensure safe delivery of a live goldfish.

His many friends counted it a privilege to know Mr. Hayes, his graceful and sagacious wife, Eleanor, and their accomplished daughters.

Yergey was able to find the Humane Society website but did not quote the full description of what it means for an animal to qualify as a VIP, which is defined as those that have a “unique opportunity to raise funds to offset veterinary expenses for injured or ill animals or help us provide care for older animals who are likely to wait longer for a new home.”

My family adopted a purebred golden retriever puppy from the Lawrence Humane Society and couldn’t believe the low cost. The $150 fee would not have changed our decision to adopt Jackson, especially for an organization dedicated to helping all animals who come through their doors. I think the new adoption fees are a great way to help maximize the amount of care the Humane Society can provide.

Last week, a member of the Kansas Legislature made a proposal that would eliminate the sale tax from health club memberships. His position was that by reducing the cost of memberships, more

people would join and this would increase the overall health of the population.

The reporter interviewed City Commissioner Hugh Carter regarding this proposal. His reply was that any reduction in sales tax revenue would be detrimental to the city of Lawrence. Isn’t that exactly what the proposed new recreation center would do? Wouldn’t the rec center siphon off membership from existing clubs, thereby losing the sales tax derived from membership dues? Going still further, the loss of membership could very well cause a reduction of personnel and possibly the closing of the club itself.

There is also another problem brewing in the background that has not been publicized. New golf courses.

What will they do to Alvamar, Lawrence Country Club and Eagle Bend?

Rec center, golf courses — how much can Lawrence absorb?

The City Commission needs to show more concern regarding the return on investment to the taxpayers of Lawrence. One outdated study leaves a lot to be desired!

Pope’s retirement bombshell sends troubled church scrambling

By Nicole Winfield and Victor L. Simpson

Abortion opponents begin push for new restrictions in Kansas

By John Hanna Associated Press

Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — With a few words in Latin, Pope Benedict XVI did what no pope has done in more than half a millennium, stunning the world by announcing his resignation Monday and leaving the already troubled Catholic Church to replace the leader of its 1 billion followers by Easter.

Not even his closest associates had advance word of the news, a bombshell that he dropped during a routine morning meeting of Vatican cardinals. And with no clear favorites to succeed him, another surprise likely awaits when the cardinals elect Benedict’s successor next month.

“Without doubt this is a historic moment,” said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protege and former theology student of Benedict’s who is considered a papal contender. “Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath.”

The move allows for a fast-track conclave to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow a pope’s death doesn’t have to be observed. It also gives the 85-year-old Benedict great sway over the choice of his successor. Though he will not himself vote, he has hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals —

POPE BENEDICT XVI, CENTER, LEAVES after attending a meeting of Vatican cardinals where he read a document in Latin in which he announced his resignation Monday at the Vatican. the princes of the church who will elect his successor — to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.

The resignation may mean that age will become less of a factor when electing a new pope, since candidates may no longer feel compelled to stay for life.

“For the century to come, I think that none of Benedict’s successors will feel morally obliged to remain until their death,” said Paris Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois.

Benedict said as recently as 2010 that a pontiff should resign if he got too old or infirm to do the job, but it was a tremendous surprise when he said in Latin that his “strength of mind and body” had diminished and that he couldn’t carry on.

He said he would resign effective 8 p.m. local time on Feb. 28.

“All the cardinals remained shocked and were looking at each other,” said Monsignor Oscar Sanchez of Mexico, who was in the room at the time of the announcement.

The Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, said Benedict decided to resign after his March 2012 trip to Mexico and Cuba, an exhausting but exhilarating trip where he met with fellow-octogenarian Fidel Castro and was treated to a raucous and warm welcome.

As a top aide, Benedict watched from up close as Pope John Paul II suffered publicly from the Parkinson’s disease that enfeebled him in the final years of his papacy. Clearly Benedict wanted to avoid the same fate as his advancing age took its toll, though the Vatican insisted the announcement was not prompted by any specific malady.

Who will be the next pope?

By Nicole Winfield Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation opens the door to an array of possible successors, from the conservative cardinal of Milan to a contender from Ghana and several Latin Americans.

But don’t count on a radical change of course for the Catholic Church: Benedict appointed the majority of cardinals who will choose his successor from within their own ranks.

There’s no clear frontrunner, though several leading candidates have been mentioned over the years as “papabile” — or having the qualities of a pope.

So, will the papacy return to Italy, after three decades of a Polish and a German pope? Or does Latin America, which counts some 40 percent of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, deserve one of their own at the church’s helm?

Will a younger cardinal be considered, now that future popes can feel freer

to resign? Or will it again go to an experienced cardinal for another “transitional” papacy?

The 110-plus cardinals who are under age 80 and eligible to vote will weigh all those questions and more when they sequester themselves in the Sistine Chapel next month to choose Benedict’s successor, a conclave that will likely produce a new pope by Easter.

Some said Benedict’s resignation presents an opportunity to turn to Africa or Latin America, where Catholicism is more vibrant.

“Europe today is going through a period of cultural tiredness, exhaustion, which is reflected in the way Christianity is lived,” said Monsignor Antonio Marto, the bishop of Fatima in central Portugal. “You don’t see that in Africa or Latin America, where there is a freshness, an enthusiasm about living the faith.”

“Perhaps we need a pope who can look beyond Europe and bring to the entire church a certain

vitality that is seen on other continents.”

Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of South Africa agreed.

“I think we would have a better chance of getting someone outside of the Northern hemisphere this time, because there are some really promising cardinals from other parts of the world,” he said.

Despite that enthusiasm, more than half of those eligible to vote in the College of Cardinals hail from Europe, giving the continent an edge even though there’s no rule that cardinals vote according to their geographic blocs.

It’s also likely the next pope won’t radically alter the church’s course, though surprises are possible.

“Given the preponderance of cardinals appointed

by Popes John Paul and Benedict, it is unlikely that the next pope will make many radical changes,” said the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit author. “On the other hand, the papacy can change a man, and the Holy Spirit is always ready to surprise.”

TOPEKA — Public schools would be required to open up staff mailboxes and bulletin boards to all unions or groups working on behalf of educators under legislation debated Monday that opponents see as another Republican attempt to weaken unions in Kansas.

State law currently requires school districts to only grant full access to teachers to the designated “professional education organization,” or PEO, that negotiates teachers’ contracts. Under legislation being considered by the House Education Committee, all such organizations would be able to send teachers letters or information at the schools where they work.

Opponents say that would dilute the power of unions and groups that currently represent teachers. But supporters say one group shouldn’t control the flow of information.

Among those supporting the bill is the Kansas Association of American Educators, which the Kansas Supreme Court has labeled a PEO. But the group’s executive director, Garry Sigle, said his group isn’t seeking to negotiate teacher contracts, just provide teachers information about other services.

“We aren’t seeking the right to bargain for any teachers in Kansas,” Sigle told the committee. “We don’t do that.”

Sigle said his group’s aim is to improve the teaching profession, charging teachers $15 a month for membership and insurance.

Steven Mosher, president of the anti-abortion Population Research Institute, based in northern Virginia, said sex-selection abortions represent “the worst form of discrimination possible.”

“It’s a discrimination that kills,” Mosher told reporters. “Men and women here are fundamentally equal and simply being the wrong gender is not grounds for being eliminated.”

The Kansas legislation is modeled on bans in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Arizona. It says a woman or girl who has a sex-selection abortion cannot be prosecuted, but the doctor could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500 upon a first conviction.

A 2008 study by two Columbia University economists suggested that the practice of aborting female fetuses — widespread in some nations where parents traditionally prefer sons — is done in the U.S. on a limited basis. The economists analyzed the gender of U.S.-born children of Chinese, Korean and Asian Indian parents and found that the odds of having a boy increased if the family already had a girl or two.

Kansans for Life cited the study in its testimony on the bill, quoting the study’s conclusion that the numbers are “evidence of sex selection, most likely at the prenatal stage.”

But Elise Higgins, a lobbyist for the Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women, called a ban on sex-selection abortions “nearly impossible to enforce” and said abortion rights supporters didn’t testify against it partly because they view other measures as more serious threats to reproductive health care access.

“The stated aim of this legislation is to ban sexselective abortions, but its effects will only be to limit women’s decision making capabilities and criminalize health providers,” NOW said in a statement.

TOPEKA — Abortion opponents urged a Kansas Senate committee Monday to endorse a bill that would prohibit doctors from terminating a pregnancy solely because a woman doesn’t want a baby of a certain gender, marking the start of a push for additional restrictions in a state that’s already tightened its laws significantly.

The measure before the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee would make it a misdemeanor the first time a doctor is convicted of perform- LEGISLATURE ing a sexselection abortion and a felony each time afterward. A woman’s husband could sue a doctor over such a procedure, as could a parent or guardian of a girl under 18 who had one.

Both chambers have solid anti-abortion majorities, and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback is a strong abortion opponent, making it likely that the measure will become law.

Supporters of the bill believe there’s widespread public support for a ban, and no abortion rights groups testified against it — though they see it as part of a broader effort to limit access.

The committee expects to vote on the measure in the next few weeks as other committees consider additional measures backed by the influential anti-abortion group Kansans for Life.

There’s no solid data on how many sex-selection abortions are performed in Kansas.

Abortion rights supporters contend there’s no evidence of them. But abortion foes believe it’s a growing problem because of more sophisticated prenatal testing.

Backers of the bill also said that such abortions almost always occur because a woman, her husband or her family doesn’t want a girl.

KANSAS 83, KANSAS STATE 62

With authority McLemore celebrates birthday with win

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students stuck around to serenade birthday-boy Ben McLemore as he conducted an ESPN interview after exploding for 30 points in the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 83-62 slump-busting victory over rival Kansas State on Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy birthday to Ben, happy birthday to you,â&#x20AC;? the students sang as the 20-yearold freshman guard headed through the northwest tunnel to the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room with a big smile on his face.

Not only was he thrilled to score 30 off 9-of-13 shooting (6-of-10 from three) and 6-of-6 free throwing, but elated the squad snapped its three-game losing streak and avoided losing four in a row for the first time since the 1988-89 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, it was great coming back home to Allen Fieldhouse,â&#x20AC;? McLemore said after he became the first freshman in KU history to score 30 or more points in two conference games. He had a careerhigh 33 versus Iowa State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great having fun with my teammates. I feel like my teammates definitely got me in a zone, especially Naadir (Tharpe, eight assists, one turnover, seven points) finding me on the wing, just creating offense and getting me open. Last week was a bad week for us. This was great,â&#x20AC;? added McLemore, who credited assistant coach Kurtis Townsend for â&#x20AC;&#x153;telling me to start on the defensive end. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I focused on ... defense.â&#x20AC;?

McLemore had 17 points the first half in helping KU race to a 47-29 lead against a team the Jayhawks needed to beat to forge a tie in the league standings. He was energized playing before a batch of family members and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had 30 people here,â&#x20AC;? said his AAU coach, Darius Cobb, grinning when told McLemore scored one point for each of the guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to play well for a lot of reasons, one being his mom (Sonya) and dad (Ben) were here.â&#x20AC;?

Ben McLemore Sr. indicated he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very proudâ&#x20AC;? of his son after KU improved to 20-4 overall and 8-3 in the Big 12. KSU dropped to 19-5, Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo 8-3.

KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE (23) ELEVATES TO THE BUCKET before an intentional foul from Kansas State â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a little birthday forward Jordan Henriquez during the first half. McLemore scored a game-high 30 points on his 20th birthday Please see KANSAS, page 4B as the Jayhawks snapped a three-game losing streak with an 83-62 victory on Monday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Tharpe sharp for KU Ben McLemore deflected credit about his great Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse the way the teammate seated to his right, Jeff Withey, rejected shots all night. And when he shared the credit, McLemore sent the praise in the direction of the man seated to his left, sophomore point guard Naadir Tharpe.

McLemore torched Kansas State for 30 points, making nine of 13 shots and six of 10 three-pointers in helping Kansas to an 83-62 blowout victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naadir, he helped me out with a lot of passes,â&#x20AC;?

McLemore said.

Later, asked if he felt as if he were â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a zone,â&#x20AC;?

McLemore repeated the praise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like my teammates definitely got me in a zone, especially Naadir finding me on the wing, just creating offense and getting me open,â&#x20AC;?

McLemore said.

Senior Elijah Johnson was limited to 12 first-half minutes because he picked up two fouls, and Tharpe responded by playing the half of his life at both ends of the court. In 14 first-half minutes, Tharpe had six of his eight assists, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn it over and scored all seven of his points.

Tharpe put extraordinary pressure on the defense, sending passes in all directions. He whipped onehanded bounce passes to Kevin Young in the post. He also collapsed the defense with drives to the paint punctuated by his passes to an open McLemore on the wing or corner.

Despite surrendering about a half-foot to him, Tharpe played exceptional first-half defense on KStateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer, Rodney McGruder, who scored 17 of his 20 points in the second half.

The second half didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as well for Tharpe, but by then the game was well in hand after KU took a 47-29 lead into the break.

KU football counting on help from walk-ons

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In the weeks leading up to signing day, most of the attention was focused on the football players with stars next to their names and scholarship offers on the table in front of them.

On Wednesday, however, a few unfamiliar names made their way onto the Kansas University football radar on national signing day. Sure, these guys are pre-

ferred walk-ons, which is to say they were encouraged to join the program but will not receive a scholarship, so their impact may be minimal.

But there are tales of former walk-ons who have made good, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth taking a quick look at who these guys are.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting that even though the additional members in the class will be walking on, the NCAA still has rules against coaches speaking about them too

soon. There also are strict rules concerning how recruited walk-ons are handled before arriving on campus.

Coaches are not allowed to initiate more than Mesh one phone call to a potential walk-on, and those players are not allowed to take official visits.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, there is paperwork that must be taken care of before coaches can announce the addition of walkons, should they choose to do so. Some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. KU coach Charlie Weis does.

The one walk-on Weis was able to introduce on signing day was former Hutchinson Community College place kicker and Hutchinson native Michael Mesh, who already has enrolled in classes and is in Lawrence. Mesh will be joined in walking-on at

KU by HCC teammate Colby Hamel, a 6-foot-3, 305-pound offensive lineman.

Mesh earned second-team NJCAA All-American honors in 2012, connecting on 12 of 15 field-goal attempts, including a long of 47 yards.

He also drilled 63 of 69 extra points and boomed 17 touchbacks in 57 kickoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming here to win the job as our place kicker,â&#x20AC;? Weis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Please see WALK-ONS, page 3B

TWO-DAY SPORTS CALENDAR

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Royals pitchers, catchers report SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rotation needed an extreme makeover, and general manager Dayton Moore was a busy man in the offseason.

The Royals opened spring training Monday with 34 pitchers and seven catchers joining several position players already in camp. The first full-squad workout is Friday.

Among the pitchers are four starters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; James Shields, Wade Davis, Ervin Santana and Jeremy Guthrie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who were not with the club for spring training last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a high level of excitement for the first day of spring training,â&#x20AC;? Royals manager Ned Yost said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody feels good, everybody is raring to go. I think our excitement is a little more elevated than it has been in the past with the addition of some of the new pitchers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;?

Royals starting pitchers went 47-69 with a 5.01 ERA last season, 26th in the majors. They threw only 890 innings (28th), taxing the bullpen and allowed opponents to hit .283, 20 points higher than the American League average.

Changes had to be made if the Royals were serious about contending in the AL Central and a big trade with Tampa, Bay in December brought the team Davis and Shields, who went 15-10 with a 3.52 ERA last season. To get them, the Royals gave up four top prospects, including consensus minor-

After loss, Indiana still No. 1 in AP poll The Associated Press

Indiana remains at No. 1 in the Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Top 25 despite losing a game this week, surviving a week of upsets to become the first team in over a month to hold onto the top ranking.

The Hoosiers (21-3) lost to Illinois on a last-second basket Thursday but rebounded with a win at Ohio State on Sunday. In a week when four of the top five teams and six of the top 10 lost, it was enough to keep the No. 1 ranking.

It ends a stretch of five consecutive weeks with a new No. 1, two weeks short of the longest such stretch in 1993-94.

The Hoosiers received 26 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday, while Duke, the only member of the top five not to lose last week, moved up two spots to second after getting 20 first-place votes.

Miami, which received 17 No. 1 votes, jumped from eighth to No. 3, the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; highest ranking ever. Michigan dropped one spot to fourth, while Gonzaga, which got the other two first-place votes, moved up one spot to fifth.

Syracuse was sixth, followed

by Florida, which dropped from second, Michigan State, Arizona and Kansas State.

There were four newcomers to the rankings this week: No. 20 Wisconsin, No. 22 Memphis, No. 24 Colorado State and No. 25 Kentucky.

Colorado State makes it first appearance in the poll since March 9, 1954.

They replace Creighton, Cincinnati, Minnesota and Missouri, the only one of the four not to lose two games last week.

Baylor women still No. 1 Baylor remains No. 1 in The Associated Press womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball poll for a sixth straight week after two more easy Big 12 wins.

The first eight stayed unchanged with Notre Dame, Connecticut, Stanford and Duke rounding out the top five.

Shields

Santana

Guthrie

Davis

league player of the year Wil Myers.

There is no doubt Shields will be the starter for the April 1 opener at the Chicago White Sox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gives you a guy that can anchor the rotation,â&#x20AC;? Yost said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw a difference when we got Jeremy Guthrie last year.

Jeremy was going so well, he kind of solidified our starting rotation. I think all the starting rotation guys will understand Shields is going to lead our staff.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our No. 1 starter. Everybody else finds comfort and confidence in that.â&#x20AC;?

Guthrie, who went 5-0 in his final 11 starts, re-signed with the Royals, a three-year $25 million contract after declaring for free agency.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to talk about Shields, Santana and Davis, and rightfully so,â&#x20AC;? pitching coach Dave Eiland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the second half last year after we got Guthrie after his first two starts, we made some adjustments, and he was one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Making the trades to get the other three guys were big, but I think Guthrie was just as big.â&#x20AC;?

The Royals acquired Santana from the Angels for minorleague left-hander Brandon Sisk and were willing to pick up $12 million of his $13 million 2013 salary.

Santana won 17 games in 2010 and went 11-12 in 2011, which belied his 3.38 ERA; last year, he dropped to 9-13 with a 5.16 ERA

FOOTBALL

Eagles, Vick agree to new deal PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Quarterback Michael Vick, who was slated to earn $16 million next season, has agreed to a restructured deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vick, who was injured and inconsistent last season, eventually giving way to rookie Nick Foles, now has a three-year contract and will compete with Foles to see who runs new coach Chip Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense this season.

Vick, who returned to start the season finale vs. the New York Giants in December because Foles was injured, finished the season with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Eagles finished 4-12 and in last place in the NFC East.

Andy Reid was fired as coach the day after the season ended, and Kelly was hired last month. Vick, who will be 33 when next season begins, seems equipped to run Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive, up-tempo offense that he is bringing to the Eagles from Oregon.

AUSTIN, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas guard Myck Kabongo said Monday he is ready to return to the court after a 23-game NCAA suspension and that he should have cooperated with school officials when first asked about a 2012 trip to Cleveland.

Kabongo was suspended for accepting airfare and personal-training instruction and then providing false and misleading information about the infractions during two interviews with university officials. Kabongo also was ordered to repay $475 to a charity of his choice Coach Rick Barnes has said Kabongo will be in the starting lineup Wednesday when Texas (10-13, 2-8 Big 12) plays at home against Iowa State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to start playing with my team again and putting behind me the last several months,â&#x20AC;?

Kabongo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went to Cleveland, I did not intend to break any rules and did not believe I had broken any. I should have been up-front with UT about everything the first time I had a chance, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I corrected my mistake, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I was truthful with the NCAA.â&#x20AC;?

The Longhorns are struggling through their worst season in 15 years under Barnes and are counting on Kabongo to help turn things around over the last few weeks of the regular season.

Kabongo started 34 games last season, averaging 9.6 points and 5.2 assists. Although not a great scorer, Kabongo is quick player and good passer who can help set up teammates for open shots in Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense. Kabongo had been projected as a possible NBA Draft pick this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned a lot about myself and what is important to me through this process,â&#x20AC;? Kabongo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a great team, and they have supported me all year.â&#x20AC;?

TEXAS GUARD MYCK KABONGO (12) DRIVES around Iowa State guard Bubu Palo in this file photo from March 8, 2012, at the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Kabongo, a sophomore, has served a 23-game NCAA suspension and is now eligible to return to the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting lineup.

Kansas City was particularly thin at wide receiver last year, and with the prospect of losing Dwayne Bowe to free agency, new general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid are searching for players who could compete for roster spots next season.

Gilyard would fit that mold. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a former fourth-round draft pick out of Cincinnati who spent last season with the Jets and Eagles, so Reid has some familiarity with him.

Brock appeared in two games two years ago with Buffalo, while Dixon played in 22 games over the past three seasons for the Jets.

The 37-year-old Carpenter met with reporters at Busch Stadium on Monday as pitchers and catchers reported to spring training in Jupiter, Fla. Last week, the team all but ruled him out for this year after problems in his right arm.

Carpenter is entering the second year of a two-year, $21 million contract and said he owed it the organization to keep trying. But after undergoing an eighth surgery last season, he said there would not be a ninth.

Carpenter knew something was wrong a few weeks ago when his hand turned red and purple and was aching soon after he began throwing from a mound.

J-W Staff Reports

Big 12 Men

Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis announced several changes to his coaching staff Monday afternoon, most involving people in behind-the-scenes roles.

One of the biggest moves involves defensive coordinator Dave Campo, who has a new title: assistant head coach for defense. According to the release sent out by KU, Campo will still coach defensive backs.

He now will be aided by Scott Vestal, who previously served as KU’s assistant director of operations and will become an assistant defensive backs coach who works closely with special teams.

A couple of other names who shifted into new roles include: Rod Jones, who moves from graduate assistant to director of high school relations; Maurice Crum, Jr., who moves from GA to assistant director of operations; Matt Shula, who worked in quality control in 2012 and now will be a graduate assistant with an emphasis on special teams; and Mark Ross, who moves from intern to offensive quality control.

Weis also announced three new members of the staff in the release. Louie Matsakis, who previously worked at Kansas under Mark Mangino, will be KU’s new director of personnel. Max Onyegbule, a former KU defensive lineman (2006-09) will serve as a graduate assistant on defense. And Ty Greenwood, formerly the defensive coordinator at Pierce College in Los Angeles, joins as a quality control coach for defense.

The promotion of Vestal to full-time assistant, fills out KU’s coaching staff, which previously had an opening because of former linebackers coach DeMontie Cross’ move to TCU. Clint Bowen, who last year coached safeties and special teams, moved into Cross’ role coaching linebackers.

Oklahoma 75, TCU 48 NORMAN, OKLA. — Buddy Hield was right in the middle of the action as Oklahoma celebrated a big upset on its home court, getting carried around on the shoulders of fans who stormed the court.

After another win in the next game, there was nothing to be happy about for Hield and his Sooners.

Hield broke a bone in his right foot during the second half of Oklahoma’s rout of TCU on Monday night and will be out indefinitely.

“It’ll be awhile before Buddy gets back,” coach Lon Kruger said. “He loves to play, obviously, and it hurts everyone when that’s taken away.

So, we’re disappointed by that.”

A sparkplug who moved into the starting lineup just over a month into his freshman year, Hield was averaging 8.8 points while leading the team in steals and assists during Big 12 play. He was hurt just after making two free throws to put the Sooners up 57-30 with 7:44 left in the game.

Kruger said Hield’s fifth metatarsal was broken, and team doctors would have to assess options for treatment before he’d know if Hield would be able to return this season.

“I have no idea,” Kruger said. “Any time you have a fracture, it takes time to heal.”

Romero Osby scored 12 points, and Amath M’Baye scored 11 as Oklahoma (167, 7-4 Big 12) led from start to finish.

The Sooners held TCU scoreless for the first eight minutes, extended their lead to 25 by halftime and led by as much as 36 after Andrew Fitzgerald’s three-point play to finish a 13-0 run with 13:17 left in the game.

During that stretch, Kruger put a lineup full of reserves into the game. But he went back to a group including four starters with about 12 minutes left in the middle of a string of nine straight TCU points.

Hield limped up the court and hobbled to the bench after a foul was called against M’Baye. He started to walk toward the tunnel to the locker room, but stopped and returned

BRIEFLY Ottawa hoops signs LHS grad Lawrence High graduate Chance Riley has signed a basketball letter of intent with Ottawa University.

A 6-foot-5 guard, Riley played football for a year at Butler Community College.

He earned three letters in basketball, one in football and one in golf at LHS, where he was a basketball honorable-mention Class 6A all-stater in 2006-07.

City basketball rises in ranks The city’s top two high school basketball teams — the Lawrence High boys and the Free State girls — both moved up a spot in the latest Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Class 6A rankings, released Monday.

Coming off victories over Shawnee Mission West and Olathe North, the Lions (115) are No. 4 in this week’s top 10.

The Firebirds (12-4) defeated Leavenworth and lost to top-ranked Olathe South, 56-48, last week before moving up to No. 9 in the new rankings.

Ranked ahead of LHS are No. 1 Blue Valley Northwest, No. 2 Shawnee Mission East (which beat Lawrence Feb. 1) and No. 3 Wichita North. The Lions play host to 5A’s top team, unbeaten Shawnee Mission South, at 7 tonight.

FSHS plays at No. 6 Shawnee Mission Northwest tonight at 5:30.

Weis said recent walkon tryouts produced eight athletes who would join the team for spring practice, which begins March 5. In order to return in the fall, these players not only will have to meet any football requirements but also will have to finish the semester with a gradepoint average of 2.75 or better.

“There’s other guys coming, too,” Weis said.

“It’s just I can’t talk about ’em. And there’s some really good players.”

Included in that group is Mishawaka, Ind., running back Michael Whitfield, a 5-11, 190-pound running back who attended the same school as current KU long snapper Reilly Jeffers.

Whitfield, who announced his intentions on Twitter, ran for 1,409 yards and 23 touchdowns on 163 carries in 2012.

KANSAS 83, K-STATE 62

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

’Cats’ coach miffed by margin

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas State coach Bruce Weber knew his team had a higher ranking, was facing a Kansas University team on a three-game losing streak and could benefit from all kinds of doubt surrounding the Jayhawks heading into Monday night’s match-up at Allen Fieldhouse.

What Weber did not know was that his team would be so kind in helping the Jayhawks heal.

Behind a 30-point explosion from red-shirt freshman Ben McLemore, who hit six of 10 three-pointers, and a spirited effort that included toughness on the court and thunder in the bleachers, the Jayhawks drubbed Weber’s Wildcats, 83-62, to complete the regular-season sweep.

“It’s a tough environment, and we caught ’em at the wrong time,” Weber said. “But it should’ve been more of a game.”

For the first seven or so minutes, it was, as Weber’s 10th-ranked Wildcats (19-5 overall, 8-3 Big 12) matched muscle and pace with the 14th-ranked Jayhawks (204, 8-3) and appeared to set the stage for a scrap-fest.

But when KU elevated its game, the visitors could not reach as high.

“All the things that got us where we are, our defense, our toughness, our discipline, they weren’t there today,” Weber said. “You can’t have excuses. That’s just part of basketball.”

Excuses they might not have been, but Weber had plenty of answers for why the Jayhawks turned a 12-7 slugfest into a 47-29 laugher in the final 13 minutes of the first half.

KANSAS STATE HEAD COACH BRUCE WEBER YELLS at game officials after an intentional foul was called against KSU forward Jordan Henriquez.

“They got us strung out.

They got us in transition, way too many layups, and we just broke down defensively,” K-State’s firstyear coach said.

Junior guard Will Spradling, who scored 10 points in 35 minutes, said it was more than layups that hurt the Wildcats.

“They made a lot of threes,” Spradling said of KU’s 8-of-21 night from long distance. “But they also got a lot of easy dunks, and that’s something we didn’t give up the first game (59-55 KU win in Manhattan). When they get dunks at home, it gets the crowd going, too, and

they feed off that crowd really well.”

Weber agreed with Spradling’s claim that KU’s three-point shooting was not the biggest blow in this one. Instead, he pointed to the painted area around the rim, where the Jayhawks outscored the Wildcats 34-16 and benefited from K-State’s early foul trouble while snagging 19 secondchance points.

“That’s the difference in the game,” Weber said.

Early in the second half, the Wildcats trimmed KU’s late to 16, and Weber said he sensed his team had a run brewing. But that vibe quickly disappeared when the Wildcats played too fast and giftwrapped more easy buckets for the Jayhawks.

“We talked at the timeout about each four minutes cutting four off, and we did a great job to start

it,” Weber said. “And then I thought we tried to hit grand slams without anyone on base.”

Despite the loss, Weber remained upbeat about his team’s position and outlook for the future.

“It happens,” he said.

“We’re still in first place, and I told ’em, ‘If we win the rest of our games, we win the league.’ I know that’s gonna be tough, but that’s how we gotta approach it.”

As for star senior Rodney McGruder, who led KSU with 20 points, including 17 in the second half, he said walking away from Allen Fieldhouse without having tasted success was not something that would bother him — yet.

“You just gotta get over it,” he said. “It’s not something you can dwell on.

That’s something I can dwell on when my career’s over.”

“Not too good,” KU’s McLemore said of his bowling scores.

“He wasn’t very good,” agreed Ben’s brother, Kevin. “He was saving it for tonight. I thought he was going to get 40. But he was great getting 30 and getting the win.”

Also, Jeff Withey had 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in surpassing Greg Ostertag as the school’s all-time leader in rejections (263, one off the Big 12 record of 264 set by Texas’ Chris Mihm).

“Jeff was great tonight and has been great all year long,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He and Ben were on a different level tonight.

“Ben is a big-time guy,” Self added. “These are just kids, and they are facing different pressures than what they have ever faced in their life (in losing three in a row). I think that Ben, the last week or two weeks, hasn’t had the same smile, that same youthful exuberance that you would expect him to have. Tonight he just played.

KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY (5) AND THE ALLEN FIELDHOUSE CROWD GO NUTS after a dunk by Withey over Kansas State forward Jordan Henriquez during the second half. KU beat the Wildcats, 83-62, on Monday.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook Rock Chalk top blocker Kansas University senior center Jeff Withey, who broke the KU and Big 12 single-season record for blocked shots a year ago, on Monday surpassed Greg Ostertag as leading career shot-blocker in school history.

Withey, a 7-foot, 235-pounder from San Diego who entered the KU-K-State game tied with Ostertag (258 blocks), swatted five shots in KU’s 83-62 victory over Kansas State in Allen Fieldhouse.

Withey set the record at the 16:28 mark of the first half by rejecting a Thomas Gipson shot in the paint.

“It feels good. I’m not satisfied, obviously,” Withey said. “I want to break the conference record, too. It’s cool, but I still have some work to do.”

He needs one block to tie Texas’ Chris Mihm (264 blocks) as the league’s alltime human eraser.

Withey scored 17 points.

He had a vicious dunk on a play in which he nailed KSU’s Jordan Henriquez in the face with his left elbow.

“It felt great. Jamari (Traylor) gave me a perfect pass. I went up and dunked it,” Withey said. “It was awesome and gave us more momentum (61-43 lead).”

Unforgivable KU coach Bill Self on Kansas’ three-game losing streak, which ended Monday.

“First of all, folks, losing three in a row ... I understand it’s not forgivable,” Self cracked. “It’s a terrible, terrible deal, but what we’re going through is what 99 percent of all teams in America go through.

There’s only 1 percent that doesn’t have rough stretches during a season.

We’ve been so spoiled here because for a long time we haven’t had these kind of stretches. I think it’s been 6 1/2 years since we lost two games in a row. We haven’t gone through that. It will put a focus on what can happen when we are not at that magic level to compete. A lot of that is toughness. A lot is sacrificing for the good of others. Having the right mind-set, being a

interest in shooting in Allen Fieldhouse.

“We did a quick walkthrough yesterday (Sunday in Manhattan) and ate dinner and came over to Lawrence, shot a little bit and got the guys’ focus on the task at hand, playing Kansas.”

KU also traveled to Manhattan the night before its game against the Wildcats on Jan. 22.

As far as whether Tyler calls him “dad” or “coach” ... “Unless I call on him, he doesn’t refer to me as either one. I think he’d probably still say, ‘dad,’ in most situations,” Self said.

Rally talk Self was asked on the teleconference why a team with four senior starters hadn’t been able to “rally” the troops during a threegame losing streak.

“I’m not sure that’s a correct statement that we haven’t been able to rally,” Self said. “We didn’t rally one game. We didn’t rally in Fort Worth (in Wednesday’s loss to last-place TCU). We actually played pretty hard at OU (Saturday). We just got beat. We played a team that was good that day. They made shots. They certainly made more plays than we did.

The guys are trying. We do have more seniors. Three of them have played a lot for us. We should be better in some ways than what we are without question.

It’s not from a lack of anything. We’ve hit a rough stretch.”

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON LOSES THE BALL MIDAIR against Kansas State during the first half.

“I just tried to create for my teammates,” Tharpe said. “Coach has been on me, nagging me about getting in the lane and finding people, and Kevin was available a lot of times, so that was someone I was finding as well as Ben, who was knocking down shots.”

Kansas still didn’t get accurate shooting from the two players who share point-guard duties — Tharpe and Elijah Johnson combined to make four of 15 shots and one of eight three-pointers.

Tharpe tends to shoot too often, but on this night, especially in the first half, he did a brilliant job of doing what point guards are supposed to do, which is to bring out the best in the other four players on the floor.

With the ball in Tharpe’s hands, McLemore dropping his beautiful jumper in the net and Young and Withey combining for 30 points, 19 rebounds and six blocked shots, Kansas looked more like the No. 5 team it was a week ago and less

Kansas wore cement shoes in the TCU game and strapped on jet packs against K-State.

“Coach has been getting on us about playing fast a lot,” Tharpe said.

“He’s been telling us to just go out there and play.

I felt like a lot of times we really weren’t running sets, we were just out there playing together, and it was flowing. With Ben making shots and everybody else making shots, it made us look really good, and it helped us out.”

Sometimes a low-scoring, grind-it-out victory does as much or more for a team as a pretty blow-

out. But in this case, after an eight-day month, no tonic could do as much for this team’s psyche as a high-scoring blowout that put the crowd in a frenzy.

The world did not end for Kansas when it lost three in a row for the first time in eight seasons. The nightmare did end Monday night, and Tharpe had more than a subtle hand in its passing.

Nets 89, Pacers 84, OT INDIANAPOLIS — Brook Lopez scored 25 points, and Brooklyn opened overtime on a 9-3 run to pull away from Indiana.

The Nets ended a fivegame losing streak at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and won for just the second time in games overall despite playing without injured guard Deron Williams.

Indiana lost its second straight home game in overtime, the losses coming on the heels of a 15-game home winning streak. George Hill scored 22 points and Roy Hibbert added 12 on a night the Pacers shot just 34.4 percent from the field and All-Star Paul George finished with five points.

The Pacers appeared to swing the game with a 7-0 run that gave them a 76-72 lead with 1:38 left in regulation.

Dear Annie: Twenty years ago, my wife had an affair with a co-worker.

It ended when he moved back to his home state 2,000 miles away. At the time, I asked my wife to go to counseling with me.

We made it to one session before she pronounced our marriage “healed.”

Sixteen months ago, out of the blue, this same guy contacted my wife via email, and they began communicating. I discovered they were planning to meet in Las Vegas.

I begged her not to go, but she was convinced she loved him and had to know if they should be together. The month before her trip, I endured more pain than I’ve ever experienced. I set up counseling sessions for us with separate therapists, arranged a meeting with our pastor and lost 20 pounds from the stress.

In the end, this creep flaked out on their Vegas rendezvous, prob-

ably because he couldn’t see himself leaving his children for her. She also was reluctant to leave our kids. However, the breakup crushed her, and she initially refused to work on our marriage. Finally, we went to a joint counseling session, but when the therapist made reference to her “profound betrayal,” that was that.

My wife refuses to rehash what happened. I’m worried that the only reason she is recommitting to our marriage is because the other man gave up on her. Things

New ‘Face’ looks familiar In many ways, “The Face” (8 p.m., Oxygen) takes the “America” out of “America’s Next Top Model,” a series it resembles in so many ways. Although it is set in New York and many of the 12 mannequin hopefuls hail from the 50 states, “The Face” has a certain international flair. It could be shot anywhere, and often it seems to be taking place on Mars.

It features a Tower of Babel of nearly incomprehensible accents.

Chief among them is a variation on imperious and impatient London slang, wielded with authority by co-host and model Naomi Campbell and photographer and fashion personality Nigel Barker.

There is no truth to the rumor that 72 percent of all British males involved in the fashion industry are named Nigel.

It only seems that way.

Models Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha join Campbell as judges and coaches. Each assembles a team of four lanky Amazons for competitions and elimination rounds.

And, as in every reality show since “The Real World,” the ladies share a posh space and fight over clothes and sleeping arrangements.

There is terrific pressure on a show like “The Face” to both resemble every modeling show that has ever aired and to distinguish itself from them. And that goes double for the young contestants. This explains why one brash woman arrives in the shared space and proceeds to screech like a banshee and literally bounce off the walls. She catwalks, or rather stumbles, over that fine line between irrational exuberance and emotional disturbance. Another model, a stunning Eastern European type, mutters something about murdering the newcomer in the middle of the night. Now this could get interesting.

Tonight’s other highlights:

Contestants must marry the flavors of their dishes with special wines on “The Taste” (7 p.m., ABC).

“The 137th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show” (7 p.m., USA) concludes. May the best pug win!

Raylan’s discovery of a severed limb sets off a wild chase on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

The newlyweds quibble over thank-you notes on “Mike & Molly” (9:30 p.m., CBS).

Claire and Cameron see a diamond in the rough on “Modern Family” (9:30 p.m., ABC).

just don’t feel the same.

She insists she’s done with this guy, but who really knows? Is it possible to move forward without dealing with the past? — Torn Up in California Dear Torn: Maybe, but not if your wife is using your marriage as her rebound relationship in order to soothe her heartbreak. That’s a temporary commitment. Refusing to examine the reasons behind her vulnerability to the affair leaves open the possibility of repeating the betrayal. You cannot force your wife to work on this, so please get counseling for yourself, on your own. You need to learn what you can live with.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 12: This year you alternate between being emotionally detached and being oversensitive. If you have an artistic talent, it is likely to emerge.

If you are single, someone could come into your life unexpectedly.

If you are attached, you often have very emotional talks.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 20-April 19) You might feel a bit off in the morning. Postpone key discussions, as others seem unwilling to move forward or change their ideas.
