Lawrence’s counterweight to the big-box store, the thrift store not only has an eclectic stock of cheaply priced items for sale but also works with social service agencies to provide clothes and household items to the poor.

TOPEKA — In the wake of the mass shooting in Connecticut, Kansas leaders say they want to examine the state of mental health services. Advocates will tell them that services are strained. “It has increased the dialogue,� said David Johnson, chief executive officer of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence, about the elementary school massacre.

HEALTH “People are calling me, angry and upset and asking what they can do,� Johnson said.

Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old who shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School before killing himself, has been described as someone who had mental issues.

shoppers have stumbled upon here. In a nutshell, it is Lawrence’s counterweight to the big-box store shopping experience. “I don’t see the challenge in those other stores,� Pike says. “Anybody can walk in there and buy what everybody else is buying. Where is the fun in that?�

There’s no question, though, which end of the spectrum Lawrence is more weighted toward these days. On Black Friday, there were no lines out the door at the thrift shop.

There won’t be a barrage of shoppers lining up for after-Christmas deals either.

In fact, most Lawrence holiday shoppers won’t ever set foot in the store.

But don’t kid yourself: Business is booming here.

The Social Service League, which has roots dating back to 1863 in Lawrence, provides vouchers to various social service agencies that serve the poor. Each voucher entitles a shopper to fill a bag with clothes or household items.

On this day, by about 1:30 p.m., shoppers have redeemed 24 vouchers. “There were times that it would be 24 in a week,�

Colds and germs: Facts and myths Advice from Dr. Mike Lewis, pediatrician at Kansas University Hospital: Hands only need to be washed when they get dirty.

Frequent hand washing is the key to keep cold and flu germs from spreading. The right way to wash is to use antibacterial soap with hot or cold water, rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub well; be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails. Continue washing for at least 20 seconds.

Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday� song from beginning to end twice.

You can catch a cold by being outside without a coat.

Multiple studies have proven this false. The only way to catch a cold is to be exposed to the virus.

It’s OK to give cough and cold medicine to children.

Not true. A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics shows children may do worse with these medications, especially if they’re under 6 years old.

Taking vitamin C or zinc helps treat colds.

Studies have shown that a normal vitamin C dose, 200 mg a day, has no effect on treating colds or reducing their severity. Also, there’s no clear-cut evidence

that zinc helps. Benefits might be from the placebo effect, but more research is needed. There is some limited evidence that echinacea can help prevent a cold and relieve it sooner.

You cannot give your child ibuprofen and acetaminophen at the same time.

False. Both work in different ways. While it’s safe to give both at the same time, keep medicines organized so you do not give your child too much of one medication.

Flu shots can cause the flu.

This is scientifically impossible because an active flu virus is not present in the vaccine. A small number of people can become fatigued or have a low-grade fever after a flu shot, but this is not the flu. Everyone should get the vaccine.

You should always take a child with a fever to see a doctor.

Fever is one of the most common symptoms of a cold in children. Doctors will not change treatment plans for your child because of a fever. Give them plenty of fluids and acetaminophen and/ or ibuprofen as needed.

The exception is children under 6 months old, who should be seen by a doctor if they have a fever.

Fever in a child under 2 months old is a medical emergency and requires immediate care.

stomach bug, some fever, vomiting.

Gaumer and Julie Boyle, Lawrence school district spokeswoman, said students are not experiencing an unusually high number of flu cases. “The people who have the most problems with the flu are the elderly and the newborns,� Boyle said. “Those are the people that tend to end up with secondary bacterial infec-

tions, and you’ll see them in the hospital.�

Residents at Brandon Woods at Alvamar Nursing Home have not seen a single flu case so far, said administrator Jerry Lindenbaum. All residents have received a flu shot.

Flu shots are still available at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

seems to work out. “You would be amazed at how many people pay more than what we’re asking because they know it helps,� Pike says.

All the proceeds of the store go to keep the store and its voucher program afloat, or else they go to the Social Service League’s vision fund, which pays for eye exams and glasses for those in need.

In a way, it is the poor helping the poor here.

Donations come from all walks of life, but Pike notes the giving spirit of the less fortunate. “It is amazing how many people who don’t have anything are willing to share what they have,�

Pike says.

Pike, though, says she also could point to bankers and lawyers and other professionals who are regular shoppers of the store because they understand the value of a good deal.

Indeed, the store attracts all types — like this young man who seems to be gathering a collection of dress slacks, suit jackets and other finery.

When he sees Pike, he stops and gives her a hug. “I’m getting married today,� he says. “Well then, give me a real hug,� Pike says.

He does and then goes about spending his big day searching for the next

surprise in a box of merchandise. “I get to know people and be a part of their lives,� Pike says. “That’s the best part.�

That’s tough service to find at a big-box store.

But of course, this isn’t a big-box store. This is Lawrence’s hidden gift shop, where soon enough people discover the most valuable gifts are the ones you can’t buy.

Thankfully, that includes the gorilla’s sunflower.

Carolers brighten family’s spirits

BRIEFLY Sheriff’s deputy killed in car accident A 36-year-old Wyandotte County sheriff’s deputy died Friday night after losing control of his car on an icy patch of road in Kansas City, Kan. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported Randy Beery, 36, died at the scene of the accident in the 5000 block of Shawnee Drive, just north of County Line Road in Kansas City, Kan. A passenger, Katrina Kobe, 26, of Kansas City, was seriously injured and transported to Kansas University Hospital.

Her condition was not available Saturday. Neither Beery nor Kobe were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol accident report, Beery was driving a 2006 Crown Victoria south on Shawnee Drive when it went off the right-hand side of the road and struck a tree. The report does not indicate if the car belonged to Beery or the Sheriff’s Office.

Libertarian Party sues over open carry bans KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The Libertarian Party of Kansas has filed lawsuits against two cities and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., alleging their bans on open carry of COURTS firearms violate citizens’ constitutional rights.

The Kansas City Star reports that the Libertarian Party of Kansas filed the lawsuits suits Friday against Prairie Village, Leawood and the Unified Government. The party is seeking injunctions to prevent the communities from enforcing their bans.

Last year, the Kansas attorney general issued a legal opinion that said cities can regulate how weapons are carried, but an outright ban violates state law.

The city administrators for Prairie Village and Leawood said Friday that they could not comment on pending litigation. A spokesman for the Unified Government also said that he couldn’t comment.

Students in the culinary program, along with help from friends and parents, were preparing six full gourmet meals for families in need as part of an Adopt-A-Family program.

Students’ culinary skills put to test to make holiday meals Dinners will be donated to families in need

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

One kitchen, more than a dozen teenage cooks and six gourmet meals in five hours was the challenge Rick Martin put to his students Saturday.

It might sound like a recipe for chaos, but Martin, the culinary arts instructor at Eudora High School, said his students were ready for some “crazy ‘Iron Chef’ action.� “They know how to do it,� he said. “They’re in charge.�

EUDORA HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS CLAUDIA MOODY, left, and Kaylyne Perkins, both second-year participants in the culinary arts program, make mashed potatoes and sweet potato gratin with Perkins’ mom, Michelle, of Eudora, on Saturday.

The students started at 8 a.m. Saturday, cooking holiday meals for six local families in need. Each meal included glazed ham, tur-

key, green beans, potatoes gratin, apple crisp, and dinner rolls made from scratch. Many of the students brought friends, parents or other

teachers with them to help, but they also were cooking on deadline.

The school social worker, in charge of delivering the meals to anonymous families, expected to pick the food up at noon.

Most of the students, like Patience Keeney, a third-year student in the culinary program, said the deadline would be “no problem� and dismissed the idea that any dish could come out wrong. By midmorning, she had already declared victory. “It was easier than I thought it would be,� she said. “I thought it would take longer.�

At the same time,

The holiday season is filled with children telling Santa Claus what presents they want for Christmas. But two Lawrence children just want to spend Christmas with their mom at home.

Today a doctor will tell their mom, Candice DrakeShepard, who earlier this year was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, if that will be possible. “Fingers crossed,� she said.

On Saturday night, her hemoglobin and white blood cell counts were good, and she was spending a few days at home with her husband, Travis, and two children, Damien, 6, and Natalee, 9. “The kids are really excited,� she said.

And today, Candice’s doctor will tell her if her blood counts will require her to go in for treatment on Christmas.

Needless to say, the holiday season hasn’t been easy for Candice and her family.

Candice’s cancer is advanced, and she no longer works as a nurse. Complications prevent her from

Kansas making gains in day care quality TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A state health official says Kansas has made strides in improving the quality of day care for children, though legislators raised concerns that funding could erode the gains in the future.

Rachel Berroth, director of the Bureau of Family Health for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, told members of the legislative Health Policy Oversight Committee during a hearing Wednesday that the changes put in place in 2010 helped the state improve its national rankings from among the lowest in the country at 41st to third as measured by an industry organization.

Berroth said her agency has been largely protected from cuts in state spending, and funding concerns shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t minimize the gains that have already been made in improving quality child care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t misunderstand,â&#x20AC;?

Berroth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Standing here today talking about the success, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all true.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Pollyanna.â&#x20AC;?

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Berroth HEALTH said stagnant resources means agency staffers are working longer days to enforce the expanded licensing and inspection requirements.

Sen. Roger Reitz, a Manhattan Republican whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving office in January, said he was uneasy about Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recent shift toward not adequately funding state government programs and what that could mean for child care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is, of course, that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough financial support to do what you need to do,â&#x20AC;? Reitz said.

Berroth said county offices were also assisting with licensing and inspections, easing the burden on KDHE. She also said all levels of government are pulling together resources to provide services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically known but never really spoken of or discussed,â&#x20AC;? said Berroth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a similar situation of other state agencies and programs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re underfunded, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, we deal with vacancies.â&#x20AC;?

The 2010 law regarding day care is known as Lexieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law in honor 13-month-old Lexie Engleman who was fatally injured in 2004 at a Johnson County day care. The law requires all Kansas child care facilities to be inspected and licensed.

OFFICER BRANDON GOGIAN, CENTER, SON OF FALLEN CPL. DAVID GOGIAN, speaks during a funeral service for his father on Saturday in Topeka. About 2,500 people, including Gov. Sam Brownback and law enforcement officers from around the country, attended the memorial services Saturday for Topeka police officers killed last weekend in the line of duty.

Thousands pay tribute to Topeka officers killed in line of duty TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thousands of people, including some of Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top officials, turned out Saturday to pay tribute to two Topeka police officers killed in the line of duty last weekend.

And Saturday evening, the family received a knock on their door from Brandy Hurrelbrink and the Christmas Caroling Angels. This is the second year the group has sung for those with illnesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing Christmas caroling for hope,â&#x20AC;?

Hurrelbrink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a gift to them and have them have as much joy as you can

Eudora High sophomore Camden Leary busied himself from one cooking station to the next, stirring sauces, looking inside ovens and offering help to others. He was concerned, he said, that the green beans and the ham be ready at the same time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just checking cooking times,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we pulled it off pretty well.â&#x20AC;?

The school just finished raising $1,800 to adopt needy families over the holidays, and cooking meals for some of them was Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea.

Martin, who until recently ran the kitchen at Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St., said helping other people eat well was important to him because he knew what it was like to grow up hungry. As a teenager, he said, he had seen tough times in his family with his mother working nights help them get by. Often he

would be the one cooking dinner for himself and his brother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I had to improvise,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much to work with.â&#x20AC;?

In the past, Martin adopted one family each year and cooked a holiday meal for them. Now, with a fully equipped teaching kitchen and nearly 50 students, he realized they could cook for six.

By 11 a.m., most of the preparation was done and the cooks were merely waiting on the last dishes to finish baking or adding some final touches. Some painted another layer of honey on a ham, while a group working with junior Alex Bock, of Eudora, stopped short when the recipe for sweet potatoes gratin took a surprising turn at the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never heard of using marshmallows,â&#x20AC;? Bock said as her friend sprinkled the sugar puffs over the potatoes. But when the dish came out of the oven, she pinched a sample and nodded approvingly while chewing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The group sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Candice has a birthday coming up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; followed by some scattered verses of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jingle Bells,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deck the Hallsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frosty the Snowman.â&#x20AC;? Hurrelbrink confessed they are far from professionals but said it is the thought that counts.

The Shepards filed out of the house and into the snow and slush to sing along.

After the group finished, Hurrelbrink and Candice hugged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That she is here is a Christmas miracle,â&#x20AC;? Hurrelbrink said.

Candice said the help from people like the Christmas Caroling Angels has made living easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very thankful and appreciative of everyone who has called or sent food. It has been one blessing after another.â&#x20AC;?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Stephan AndersonStory, photographer, Baldwin City â&#x20AC;&#x153;No I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like to sing.â&#x20AC;?

Connie Snyder, retired, Eudora â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I went with my youth group. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done it as an adult.â&#x20AC;?

David Peter, student, Lawrence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I have. The neighborhood was doing it.â&#x20AC;?

Although the cause of his outburst is not yet known, other recent mass shooters have had psychiatric problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look at the stories of the other shooters, these are people for whom their mental health problem was recognized, but they fell through the cracks,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we have done over the last five years is turn those cracks into canyons.â&#x20AC;?

During state budget belt-tightening in Kansas, several mental health programs have been reduced repeatedly.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health grant to community mental health centers was cut by nearly $20 million between 2008 and last year, according to the Kansas Mental Health Coalition. MediKan, which covered adults with disabilities who do not qualify for Medicaid but are eligible for services under the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Assistance program, has been defunded, the coalition said.

A $4.5 million appropriation for a program that serves families who have children with serious mental health issues is in jeopardy because the state is expected to get much less in its annual funding from a legal settlement with tobacco companies, according to mental health officials.

In addition, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health care hospitals have been beset with budget problems.

The decisions in Topeka and Washington, D.C., trickle down to Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are unable to provide a broad array of services that people need to have wrapped around them until they become a crisis situation,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Campbell, coordinator of the Kansas Mental Health Coalition.

Twenty-five positions have been eliminated at Bert Nash. There have been furloughs and wage freezes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff has borne a pretty heavy burden,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said.

To make up for the funding cuts, Johnson has increased fundraising efforts and relied more on group therapy than personal sessions.

A program that placed licensed clinicians in every school in Lawrence has been scaled back to just the high schools and two of the three junior highs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we lost the elementary schools, we lost prevention,â&#x20AC;? he said.

There are 17 million Americans who have a serious mental illness, and only one-third get treated, Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The median age of the first onset of all mental health problems is 14, and the younger you are, the less likely you are to get treatment. There is no doubt that people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the care that they should,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Campbell said that at the state level the name of the game is to just try not to sustain any more cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fight to preserve what is there, rather than talking about what is really needed to have a strong mental health system,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all you are doing is struggling to use the budget that you have to actually serve the people who come to your doors, then you are not doing any outreach. We often find families turned away because their problem wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serious enough, not a crisis, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back and ask again when the situation gets worse.â&#x20AC;?

BRIEFLY Anglican leader backs gun control in U.S. LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The spiritual leader of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80 million-strong Anglican Communion threw his support behind stricter gun laws in the U.S. on Saturday, saying the easy availability of powerful weapons drew vulnerable people toward violence.

Rowan Williams, who is stepping down from his role as the archbishop of Canterbury at the end of the year, referred to the recent massacre of 26 children and staff at a school in Newtown, Conn.

Williams said it was hard to get into the spirit of Christmas given the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lives cut so brutally short and of the unimaginable loss and trauma suffered by parents.â&#x20AC;? He made the comments on BBC radio program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thought for the Day,â&#x20AC;? a slot devoted to religious perspectives on life and current affairs.

Bombing at rally kills 9 in Pakistan PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A suicide bomber in Pakistan killed nine people including a provincial government official at a political rally Saturday by a party that has opposed the Taliban, officials said.

The rally in Peshawar, the capital of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was held by the Awami National Party, whose members have been repeatedly targeted by the Taliban.

Among the dead was Bashir Bilour, the second most senior member of the provincial Cabinet, said Ghulam Ahmed Bilour, the politicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother and federal railways minister.

More than 20 others were wounded by the blast, said local police officer Sabir Khan.

Russia wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give Assad refuge BEIRUT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russia would welcome any countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer of safe haven for Syrian President Bashar Assad but has no plans to make one of its own, Moscowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign Assad minister said in the latest comments to suggest a growing distance between the two allies.

Sergey Lavrovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks on Friday night were among the clearest signs yet that Russia could be preparing for a Syria without Assad, as rebel pressure on the embattled leader intensifies. Over the past four weeks, fighting has reached Damascus, his seat of power, and rebels have captured a string of military bases.

Protesters clash with police in India NEW DELHI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital used tear gas and water cannons Saturday to push back thousands of people who tried to march to the presidential mansion to protest the gang rape and brutal beating of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus.

Several protesters suffered injuries when they repeatedly tried to break through steel barricades in a high-security zone in New Delhi. Police fired tear gas and chased the protesters with sticks, and some of the protesters attacked police with stones during sporadic clashes throughout the day.

The see-saw battle became fierce in the evening as a large number of protesters ran toward the nearby parliament building and again targeted police with stones and sticks. Hundreds of police deployed in the area chased them away. The demonstrators later regrouped and lit candles as the dusk fell.

The protesters were demanding the death penalty for all the six suspects who have been arrested by police following the Dec. 16 attack in New Delhi.

CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTING

Newtown inundated with gifts, money

By Jesse Washington and Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press

NEWTOWN, CONN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Newtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children were showered with gifts Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tens of thousands of teddy bears, Barbie dolls, soccer balls and board games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and those are only some of the tokens of support from around the world for the town in mourning.

Just a little over a week ago, 20 children and six school employees were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, attacked the school, then killed himself. Police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what set off the massacre.

Days before Christmas, funerals were still being held Saturday, the last of those whose schedules were made public, according to the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association. A service was held in Utah for 6-year-old Emilie Parker. Others were held in Connecticut for Josephine Gay, 7, and Ana Marquez-Greene, 6.

All of Newtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children were invited to Edmond Town Hall, where they could choose a toy.

Bobbi Veach, who was fielding donations at the building, reflected on the outpouring of gifts from toy stores, organizations and individuals around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their way of griev-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

This is just the proof of the love thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this country.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Postmaster Cathy Zieff ing,â&#x20AC;? Veach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel so bad, I just want to do something to reach out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we accommodate everybody we can.â&#x20AC;?

The United Way of Western Connecticut said the official fund for donations had $2.8 million in it on Saturday. Others sent envelopes stuffed with cash to pay for coffee at the general store, and a shipment of cupcakes arrived from a gourmet bakery in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Postal Service reported a six-fold increase in mail in the town and set up a unique post office box to handle it. The parcels come decorated with rainbows and hearts drawn by schoolchildren.

Some letters arrived in packs of 26 identical envelopes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for each family of the children and staff killed or addressed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Respondersâ&#x20AC;? or just â&#x20AC;&#x153;The People of Newtown.â&#x20AC;? One card arrived from Georgia addressed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The families of 6 amazing women and 20 beloved angels.â&#x20AC;? Many contained checks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just the proof of the love thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this country,â&#x20AC;?

Postmaster Cathy Zieff said.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Workers probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the full brunt of next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax increases in their January paychecks, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled by the temporary reprieve.

No matter what Congress does to address the year-end fiscal cliff, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already too late for employers to accurately withhold income taxes from January paychecks, unless all the current tax rates remain unchanged, which is an unlikely scenario.

Social Security payroll taxes are set to increase on Jan. 1, so workers should immediately feel the squeeze of a 2 percent cut in their take-home pay. But as talks drag on over how to address other year-end tax increases, the Internal Revenue Service has delayed releasing income tax withholding tables for 2013.

As a result, employers are planning to withhold income taxes at the 2012 rates, at least for the first one or two paychecks of the year, said Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole of the American Payroll Association.

If employers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t withhold enough taxes in January, they will have to withhold even more taxes later in the year to make up the difference. Otherwise, taxpayers could get hit with big tax bills, and possibly penalties, when they file their 2013 returns.

The tax increases could be steep. If Congress fails to act, workers at every income level face significant tax increases next year as part of the year-end â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;?

A taxpayer making between $50,000 and $75,000 would get an average tax increase of $2,400, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group.

If the worker is paid every two weeks, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about $92 a paycheck, on average.

A big package of tax cuts first enacted a decade ago are set to expire at the end the year, unless Congress and the White House reach a deal to extend them. How the looming tax increases would affect households at different income levels.

Annual income: $20,000 to $30,000.

Average tax increase: $1,064.

Annual income: $30,000 to $40,000.

Average tax increase: $1,417.

Annual income: $40,000 to $50,000.

Average tax increase: $1,729.

Annual income: $50,000 to $75,000.

Someone making between $75,000 and $100,000 would get a tax increase averaging nearly $3,700. If the worker is paid every two weeks, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about $142 a paycheck.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole said it would take most employers two weeks to four weeks to update their payroll systems, once new tax withholding tables are released. For some small businesses, it could take longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really just come up with withholding tables on their own, depending on what the rates are,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The smaller companies that do not use a payroll processing service probably would have more problems than anyone else.â&#x20AC;?

On Friday, the IRS said it plans to issue guidance by the end the year, though it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be early enough to affect paychecks in early January.

Average tax increase: $2,399.

Annual income: $75,000 to $100,000.

Average tax increase: $3,688.

Annual income: $100,000 to $200,000.

Average tax increase: $6,662.

Annual income: $200,000 to $500,000.

Average tax increase: $14,643.

Annual income: $500,000 to $1 million.

Average tax increase: $38,969.

Annual income: More than $1 million.

Average tax increase: $254,637. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Source: Tax Policy Center

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are aware that employers have questions with respect to 2013 withholding,â&#x20AC;? the agency said in a written statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since Congress is still considering changes to the tax law, we continue to closely monitor the situation. We intend to issue guidance by the end of the year on appropriate withholding for 2013.â&#x20AC;?

About three-quarters of taxpayers got tax refunds this year, averaging $2,707, according to the IRS. That gives most taxpayers some leeway to manage their income tax withholding. However, many people rely on tax refunds to pay bills or make major purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is, the vast majority of Americans do live paycheck to paycheck and that tax refund is their most significant payday of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Meighan, vice president of TurboTax, an online tax preparation service.

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft charter gets â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; majority in vote

By Hamza Hendawi and Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Islamist-backed constitution received a â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? majority in a final round of voting on a referendum that saw a low voter turnout, but the deep divisions it has opened up threaten to fuel continued turmoil.

Passage is a victory for Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, but a costly one. The bruising battle over the past month stripped away hope that the long-awaited constitution would bring a national consensus on the path Egypt will take after shedding its autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago.

Instead, Morsi disillusioned many non-Islamists who had once backed him and has become more reliant on his core support in the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists. Hardliners in his camp are determined to implement provisions for stricter rule

by Islamic law in the charter, which is likely to further fuel divisions.

Preliminary results released early today by Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muslim Brotherhood showed that 71.4 percent of those who voted Saturday said â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? after 95.5 percent of the ballots were counted.

Sports leagues are poised to challenge N.J. over gambling

By Bruce Shipkowski and David Porter Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four major professional sports leagues and the NCAA are poised to move forward with their legal fight over New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to allow sports gambling.

That comes after a judge on Friday rejected arguments that the leagues couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove they would be harmed if the state proceeds with the plans.

In denying the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to dismiss the lawsuit by the NBA, NHL, NFL, Major League Baseball and the NCAA, U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp agreed that they have standing to file the suit because expanding legal sports betting to New Jersey would negatively affect perception of their games.

In his ruling, Shipp cited studies offered by the leagues that showed fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; negative attitudes toward game-fixing and sports gambling.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined to comment on the ruling, telling The Associated Press on Saturday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the decision speaks for itself.â&#x20AC;?

Stacey Osburn, director of public and media relations for the NCAA, said the association was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleased with the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling. The NCAA has long maintained that sports wagering threatens the well-being of studentathletes and the integrity of college sports.â&#x20AC;?

Phone messages left Saturday for officials with

the NBA and NHL were not immediately returned.

A voicemail for a MLB spokesman was full and would not accept messages.

New Jersey also has argued in court papers that a 1990s law prohibiting sports gambling in all but four states is unconstitutional, and Shipp ordered that a date for oral argument on that issue will be set after Jan. 20.

The federal law prohibited sports gambling in all states but Nevada, where bettors can gamble on single games, and three other states that were allowed to offer multi-game parlay betting. New Jersey has argued the law usurps the authority of state legislatures and discriminates by â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandfatheringâ&#x20AC;? in some states.

U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., who has worked in the House to change the federal law, decried Shippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is absurd for the professional sports leagues and the NCAA to claim that they will suffer injuries as a result of the legalization of sports betting in New Jersey,â&#x20AC;? Pallone said Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That these organizations claim that the sports they represent will somehow have their reputation impacted is naĂŻve at best and assumes that illegal gambling is not currently occurring in lieu of legal sports betting,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is that the presence of illegal betting and the crime that goes with it has a far greater impact on the legitimacy of sports organization.â&#x20AC;?

lion Egyptians eligible to vote â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a turnout of about 30 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cast their ballots. The Brotherhood

has accurately predicted election results in the past by tallying results provided by its representatives

at polling centers.

In the first round of voting, about 56 percent said â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to the charter. The turnout then was about 32 percent.

The results of the two rounds mean the referendum was approved by about 63 percent.

Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberal and secular opposition now faces the task of trying to organize the significant portion of the population angered by what it sees as attempts by Morsi and the Brotherhood to gain a lock on political power. The main opposition group, the National Salvation Front, said it would now start rallying for elections for the lawmaking, lower house of parliament, expected early next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel more empowered because of the referendum. We proved that at least we are half of society (that) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve of all this. We will build on

it,â&#x20AC;? the Frontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman, Khaled Daoud, said. Still, he said, there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;no appetiteâ&#x20AC;? at the moment for further street protests.

The new constitution would come into effect once official results are announced, expected in several days. When they are, Morsi is expected to call for the election of parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawmaking, lower chamber no more than two months later.

In a sign of disarray in Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, his vice president and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; possibly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the central bank governor resigned during Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voting.

Vice President Mahmoud Mekkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation had been expected since his post is eliminated under the new constitution. But its hasty submission even before the charter has been sealed and his own resignation statement suggested it was linked to Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies.

Parents struggle to find gender-neutral toys

By Michelle R. Smith

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

When a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment is filled with rigid messages about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is what boys do, PROVIDENCE, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A this is what girls do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; it limits their ability to 13-year-old girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to get Hasbro to make an reach their full capacity.â&#x20AC;?

Associated Press

Easy-Bake Oven that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purple or pink so it would appeal to her little brother is a fresh sign of movement in an old debate. Parents who hope to expose their children to different kinds of play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; science sets for girls and dolls for boys, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can find themselves stymied by a toy industry that can seem stuck in the past when it comes to gender roles.

Hasbro wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only target of criticism this year.

One of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest toys, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;LEGO Friends Butterfly Beauty Shop,â&#x20AC;? specifically aimed Legos at girls but turned to tired gender stereotypes with its focus on a beauty shop and inclusion of characters with curves and eyelashes.

Barbie turned builder with a new construction set. But while some praised it, others criticized it for being too pink.

Toy experts say the industry reflects cultural

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dr. Susan Linn, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, who cofounded the advocacy group Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood norms, and toy companies are giving people what sells. Plenty of parents find nothing wrong with buying pink frou-frou toys for their girls and avoiding stereotypically â&#x20AC;&#x153;girlâ&#x20AC;? toys for their boys in favor of guns and trucks. But other parents are sent into knots by an unapologetically gender-specific toy industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of pressure to conform to those gender stereotypes from the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pregnant,â&#x20AC;? said Teresa Graham Brett, a higher-education consultant from Tucson, Ariz., and mother to two boys, ages 6 and 11.

Children naturally begin to identify themselves as boys and girls around the ages of 3 and 4, said Dr. Susan Linn, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School,

who cofounded the advocacy group Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment is filled with rigid messages about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is what boys do, this is what girls do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; it limits their ability to reach their full capacity,â&#x20AC;? Linn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like girls are born with the predilection to pink, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trained to it, so it becomes what they want and need.

There are neurological differences between boys and girls at birth. But our goal should be to provide them with a range of experiences so they can develop all of their tendencies.â&#x20AC;?

Large toy stores and most large online retailers often divide toys up by gender. On Amazon, or on the websites for toy mak-

ers Mattel or Hasbro, for example, toys are sorted by age, category and gender.

A person who wants to buy a baby doll on the Toys R Us website will find hundreds of choices categorized for girls and five for boys. Three of those are dressed in pink.

In recent years, Toys R Us was criticized for an ad selling three microscopes, silver, red and pink. The pink one was the least powerful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy companies are businesses, so they are responding to and making their products based on consumer demands. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meeting with moms, focus groups. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing what makes sense,â&#x20AC;? said Adrienne Appell, a spokeswoman for the Toy Industry Association.

Chris Byrne, content director for timetoplaymag. com, said the market ultimately decides what makes it onto store shelves and into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The toy industry is always going to reflect the culture at large, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to reflect the market,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Boeing using spuds to improve in-air Wi-Fi

By Jason Keyser Associated Press

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If the wireless Internet connection during your holiday flight seems more reliable than it used to, you could have the humble potato to thank.

While major airlines offer in-flight Wi-Fi on many flights, the signal strength can be spotty. Airlines and aircraft makers have been striving to improve this with the growing use of wireless devices and the number of people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be disconnected, even 35,000 feet up.

Engineers at Chicagobased Boeing Co. used sacks of potatoes as stand-

ins for passengers as they worked to eliminate weak spots in in-flight wireless signals. They needed full planes to get accurate results during signal testing, but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask people to sit motionless for days while data was gathered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where potatoes come into the picture,â&#x20AC;?

Boeing spokesman Adam Tischler said.

It turns out that potatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because of their water content and chemistry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; absorb and reflect radio wave signals much the same way as the human body does, making them suitable substitutes for airline passengers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to the in-

genuity of these engineers.

They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go in with potatoes as the plan,â&#x20AC;? Tischler said.

Recapping the serendipitous path that led to better onboard wireless, Tischler said a member of the research team stumbled across an article in the Journal of Food Science describing research in which 15 vegetables and fruits were evaluated for their dielectric properties, or the way they transmit electric force without conduction.

Its conclusions led the Boeing researchers to wonder if potatoes might serve just as well as humans during their own signal testing. Despite some skepti-

U.S. SEN. SCOTT BROWN, R-MASS., pumps his fist during his re-election campaign kickoff on Jan. 19. If Sen. John Kerry is confirmed by the Senate for secretary of state, as expected, Kerry would have to resign the seat heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held for nearly three decades, prompting a special election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third Senate contest since 2010. The big question is whether Brown will go for the seat, after losing his last month to Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren.

Yet another Senate race on the horizon in Massachusetts

By Steve LeBlanc Associated Press

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Massachusetts voters weary from one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costliest and most divisive U.S. Senate races are all but certain to find themselves thrown back into another tumultuous election now that President Barack Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry for secretary of state.

If confirmed by the Senate, as expected, Democrat Kerry would have to resign the seat heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held for nearly three decades, meaning a special election that will be the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third Senate contest since 2010.

Jockeying already is well under way. The big question is whether Republican Sen. Scott Brown will go for the seat after losing his last month to Democratic Elizabeth Warren.

He kept the door wide open to another run during a farewell address on the Senate floor, declaring that both victory and defeat are â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporaryâ&#x20AC;? things.

Perhaps as soon as next year.

Brown would be a formidable candidate. He has a statewide political organization and more than $400,000 left in his campaign account. He remains popular and demonstrated an ability to raise millions of dollars in campaign donations. But he would still have to contend with all the hurdles facing any Republican in Massachusetts.

Still, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably have a clear path to the GOP nomination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The candidacy is his for the asking,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Brad Jones, the Republican leader in the Massachusetts House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he runs, then get out of the way and put your oar in the water and row in the same direction.â&#x20AC;?

Should Brown opt out, former Gov. William Weld, former gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker and Richard Tisei, who lost a narrow race to Democratic U.S. Rep. John Tierney, are among the Republicans waiting in the wings for a possible run.

Looking ahead The state’s political and economic future may be too cloudy to allow for multi-year funding and budgeting plans.

B

udgeting or setting university tuition rates for two or more years in advance has some appeal but, from a practical standpoint, it mostly doesn’t work very well.

Gov. Sam Brownback has indicated he will propose a two-year budget for state government next year, and his School Efficiency Task Force said last week that it would recommend having the Legislature fund public schools on a two-year budget cycle. To continue the trend, the Kansas Board of Regents discussed the possibility last week of setting tuition rates for the state’s public university every two years instead of annually, as currently is the case.

Having a two-year funding cycle may seem like a good way to plan ahead for future needs, but, in the current, unpredictable economic and political climate, it poses a number of problems.

Perhaps the greatest danger is that lawmakers will lock the state into a budget that will prove to be unrealistic. Because of impending income tax cuts, the state’s financial picture is particularly uncertain right now, with wide disagreement about how the tax cuts will affect state revenue. The tax cuts and other factors make it next to impossible to predict the state’s financial condition a year from now, let alone two years.

Even the best laid plans can fall victim to political or financial shifts. As State Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, pointed out during a Legislative Educational Planning Committee meeting last week, state legislators passed a three-year school funding plan several years ago, but, when the recession hit, they not only abandoned plans to increase school funding but also ended up making cuts in that budget. There is no way to bind future legislatures to the actions of current lawmakers.

When it comes to tuition, forcing universities to lock in tuition for more than one year at a time may subtly contribute to inflated tuition rates. Rather than risk a shortfall in tuition income, university leaders would be inclined to seek twoyear increases that would be almost certain to cover their needs. That probably already is the case with Kansas University when it sets its four-year guaranteed tuition for incoming freshmen. If anything, officials would be inclined to overestimate their actual tuition needs over the next four years to be on the safe side.

There may have been times in history when the state’s economy and politics were stable enough to allow for multiyear budget planning. That doesn’t seem to be one of those times. Planning ahead is a good idea, but right now, the future is just too hard to predict.

Benghazi report offers warning WASHINGTON — Buried in the scathing critique of the State Department’s performance during the attack on its consulate in Benghazi is a description of what may become the “new normal” in hot spots abroad — where U.S. diplomats cannot rely on local security and must consider “when to leave and perform the mission from a distance.”

The Accountability Review Board’s report talks about augmenting U.S. diplomatic security and maintaining America’s presence around the globe. But realistically, given the fact that the report triggered the removal of four top State Department officials, it’s likely to reinforce the caution that’s already evident in U.S. operations overseas. In a chaotic world, U.S. diplomats will probably have even less contact with the people they need to reach.

This risk aversion is partly a result of a Washington culture (media included) that treats every mistake as a scandal. In the Benghazi case, the uproar was led by Republicans who saw a pre-election opportunity to bash the Obama administration. The implication was that it was President Obama’s fault that four Americans had died in a dangerous place. Election Day has come and gone, but the report’s recommendations for mitigating risk will live on.

Big mistakes were made in Benghazi, and people should be held accountable.

But the brave officers who staff American posts in crisis

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The report correctly warns against ‘an unacceptable total fortress and stay-athome approach to U.S. diplomacy.’” zones know how dangerous the work is. They already chafe at rules that prevent them from leaving protected compounds without elaborate security, and those strictures will only grow more severe. Journalists couldn’t do their jobs overseas without taking risks, and the same is true for diplomats and intelligence officers.

The report correctly warns against “an unacceptable total fortress and stay-at-home approach to U.S. diplomacy.”

But I fear its finger-pointing will reinforce Washington’s zero-defect mindset and produce precisely that outcome.

The passages that caught my eye were the recommendations on security.

The State Department must move “beyond traditional reliance on host government security support in high risk,

high threat posts,” the report argues. Specifically, the department should “urgently review the proper balance between acceptable risks and expected outcomes in high risk, high threat areas.” The “acceptable” threat tolerance may become close to zero.

The report suggests several ways to assess vulnerability, but one is crucial: Officials should pay “constant attention to changes in the situation, including when to leave and perform the mission from a distance.” In the future, an official will be risking career suicide (not to mention the possible loss of colleagues’ lives) if he or she doesn’t pull the plug when threats arise.

The Benghazi situation was horrifying. Because Libya had no effective police or army, the State Department was relying chiefly on what the report describes as the “armed but poorly skilled” members of a local militia called the February 17 Martyrs’ Brigade.

But the report notes that on the day of Ambassador Chris Stevens’ fatal visit, “February 17 militia members had stopped accompanying (consulate) vehicle movements in protest over salary and working hours.”

The militia fighters were worse than useless: They didn’t try to stop the attack on the consulate and they didn’t answer the CIA base chief’s pleas a few minutes later for backup machine guns.

Here’s the problem the report doesn’t state, but is

crucial for the future: In too many parts of the world, the U.S. relies as it did in Benghazi on forces that are tribal militias or little better. To take two examples I’ve seen personally: For years, Lebanese militias provided the only real protection for U.S. diplomats in both Christian and Muslim areas of Beirut.

In Afghanistan, tribal militias and local warlords have long protected U.S. supply convoys. In many countries where the official security forces are weak, the U.S. works with private security organizations that are a mix of locals and Blackwaterstyle American or European contractors.

The report highlights a final aspect of the new normal: The al-Qaida terrorist threat is “fragmenting” and morphing.

The model now isn’t mega-attacks against the homeland, as happened on Sept. 11, 2001, but what the report calls a “growing, diffuse range” of local operatives who hit American targets wherever they have a chance, as on Sept. 11, 2012, in Benghazi.

Looking back at the 9/11 attacks, I think many Americans understand now the danger of an overreaction that undermines U.S. values and interests. The same is true of the Benghazi attack.

The surest way to empower the new terrorist gangs would be to withdraw from U.S. diplomatic missions.

Commissioners give rec center update

By Mayor Robert J. Schumm and Vice Mayor Michael Dever

We wish to provide the citizens of Lawrence with more details about the Rock Chalk Park and Recreation Center project. On behalf of the city, we have attended nearly all meetings regarding this project as it has progressed over the past year.

The City of Lawrence has an outstanding opportunity to partner with the University of Kansas to accomplish the goals of Kansas Athletics and our community’s need for increased indoor gym space and other recreational amenities. Together we wish to position Lawrence as an attractive location for regional sports tournaments and other special events. KU must address sports venue upgrades that will allow them to maintain their position as a leading institution in the Big 12. Lawrence residents directly benefit from the addition of indoor recreation space, the need for which has been well documented, and the opportunity to host tournaments in our city. We also capture sales tax revenue from retail sales to out-of-town visitors and recapturing revenues currently lost to other communities.

Our synergy with the KU is critical on many fronts. The future growth and prosperity of Lawrence is directly tied to the success of KU, as our largest employer and as an academic and athletic institution. The city’s relationship with KU is solid, as evidenced by our partnerships in transit, bioscience and technology incubation and job creation, student/community relationships and downtown athletic events. The entire Rock Chalk Park property is a 155-acre parcel generally located north of Sixth Street and east of

K-10 off of George Williams Way. Under the current proposal, KU Endowment will build the city’s recreation center building, lighted tennis courts, walking/ jogging trails, infrastructure, and parking lots for a maximum Schumm price of $25 million, or the actual price, if less.

KU Endowment will bid the city’s project, thereby establishing a market value for the price of these facilities, the total estimated value of which is $33.5 million. At the conclusion of the construction and upon verifica- Dever tion of the completed project to city specifications through city inspection, the city will receive title to its facilities and land and will control facility operations.

There are people who question the structure of the partnership. It is our view that the philanthropic nature of the gifts of land and amenities to the city are gratefully acknowledged and we are working to leverage these gifts to the fullest extent possible. As with any extraordinary endeavor, new and unique approaches must be considered to achieve all goals. The Bliss Foundation, led by Lawrence residents Thomas and Dru Fritzel, has stepped forward to help KU meet its needs and time frame. Without the participation of all of the parties, this unique project would not be possible.

For example, if the city doesn’t place its recreation center at Rock Chalk Park, the

city is still likely to be asked to assist KU with infrastructure costs to the site.

We acknowledge that the future of the local, regional and national economy is in question, but believe that our past fiscal restraint has allowed us to consider taking action on an extraordinary community asset. For the last six years, the City Commission has held staffing levels steady, focusing additional revenues on infrastructure and needed police officers, while maintaining high marks from credit rating agencies and healthy reserves. Because of the foresight of the community in voting in favor of a sales tax primarily set aside for recreational amenities, we are in a unique position to leverage the future growth of our existing tax dollars on an exceptional project. Construction and financing costs are at their lowest rate in decades. Today, we are well poised to take on a large project that will help our community for years into the future.

By maximizing shared infrastructure, Rock Chalk Park project is a classic example of a partnership where the sum of the investments far outweighs the individual parts. We wish to thank KU Athletics, KU Endowment, the Assists Foundation, the Bliss Foundation, city staff and the City Commission. All have done their best to represent their respective institutions in an extraordinary manner in order to accomplish Rock Chalk Park.

As elected officials, our primary responsibility is to represent our constituents. As the space in this forum is limited, we invite citizens to go to the city’s website at www.lawrenceks.org for more information and welcome questions and comments as we move forward in consideration of this unique project.

A SNOWY EGRET FLIES over water during an annual bird count along the Texas Gulf Coast on Dec. 17.

The data collected will be analyzed, landing in a database that includes results from other bird counts going on nationally.

Annual bird counts give scientists climate clues

By Ramit Plushnick-Masti Associated Press

MAD ISLAND, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Armed with flashlights, recordings of bird calls, a small notebook and a stash of candy bars, scientist Rich Kostecke embarked on an annual 24-hour Christmastime count of birds along the Texas Gulf Coast. Yellow rail. Barn owl. Bittern. Crested Cara-Cara.

Kostecke rattled off the names and scribbled them in his notebook.

His data, along with that from more than 50 other volunteers spread out into six groups across the 7,000acre Mad Island preserve, will be analyzed regionally and then added to a database with the results of more than 2,200 other bird counts going on from midDecember to Jan. 5 across the Western Hemisphere.

The count began in 1900 as a National Audubon Society protest of holiday hunts that left piles of bird and animal carcasses littered across the country.

It now helps scientists understand how birds react to short-term weather events and may provide clues as to how they will adapt as temperatures rise and climate changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning the changes of

Rich Kostecke, bird expert and associate director of conservation, research and planning at the Nature Conservancy in Texas habit in drought could help us know what will happen as it gets warmer and drier,â&#x20AC;? said Kostecke, a bird expert and associate director of conservation, research and planning at the Nature Conservancy in Texas.

Scientists saw birds change their habits during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic drought that parched most of Texas.

There has been some rain this year, but Texas still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully recovered from the drought and many areas remain unusually dry. Wetlands, a crucial bird habitat, have been damaged.

Trees and brush are dead or brown. There are fewer flooded rice fields, prime foraging grounds for birds.

And sandhill cranes, for the second winter in a row, are staying in Nebraska.

An initial report on the 24-hour count that began

midnight Monday and ended midnight Tuesday included 233 different species â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a drop of 11 from last year when 244 were counted on Mad Island. While the area likely still has one of the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most diverse bird populations, the species that were missing raise questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are several possibilities,â&#x20AC;? Kostecke surmised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conditions may be better in the east, like Louisiana. Some may still be north, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been mild, and they tend to follow the freeze line.â&#x20AC;?

With weather in the north still relatively warm, some birds might choose to stay put and conserve energy for the nesting season, Kostecke added.

Similar changes in bird behavior could be seen this year in the Midwest and parts of the South, areas that have been gripped by a massive drought that covered two-thirds of the nation at its height. The droughtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s severity is unusual, but scientists warn that such weather could become more common with global warming. Birds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as other animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will have to adapt, and the data collected in the Christmas count gives crucial insight on how they might do that.

Drought-drained rivers offering up glimpse of history

By Jim Salter Associated Press

ST. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From sunken steamboats to a millennium-old map engraved in rock, the drought-drained rivers of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midsection are offering a rare and fleeting glimpse into years gone by.

Lack of rain has left many rivers at low levels unseen for decades, creating problems for river commerce and recreation and raising concerns about water supplies and hydropower if the drought persists into next year, as many fear.

But for the curious, the receding water is offering an occasional treasure trove of history.

An old steamboat is now visible on the Missouri River near St. Charles, Mo., and other old boats nestled on river bottoms are showing up elsewhere. A World War II minesweeper, once moored along the Mississippi River as a museum at St. Louis before it was torn away by floodwaters two decades ago, has become visible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rusted but intact.

Perhaps most interesting, a rock containing what is believed to be an ancient map has emerged in the Mississippi River in southeast Missouri.

The rock contains etchings believed to be up to 1,200 years old. It was not in the river a millennium ago, but the changing course of the waterway now normally puts it under water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exposed only in periods of extreme drought. Experts are wary of giving a specific location out of fear that looters will take a chunk of the rock or scribble graffiti on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears to be a map of prehistoric Indian villages,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Dasovich, an anthropology professor at

Colby Buchanan/United States Coast Guard/AP Photo

A WORLD WAR II MINESWEEPER on the Mississippi River near St. Louis is pictured on Nov. 28. The lack of rain has left many rivers at low levels unseen for decades, offering a glimpse at things not normally seen. The minesweeper, once moored along the Mississippi River as a museum at St. Louis before it was torn away by floodwaters two decades ago, has become visible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rusted but intact.

Lindenwood University in St. Charles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fascinating is that it shows village sites we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know about.â&#x20AC;?

Old boats are turning up in several locations, including sunken steamboats dating to the 19th century.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising considering the volume of steamboat traffic that once traversed the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Dasovich said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon in the 1800s to have hundreds of steamboats pass by St. Louis each day, given the fact that St. Louis was once among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest inland ports. The boats, sometimes lined up two miles deep and four boats wide in both directions, carried not only people from town to town but goods and supplies up and down the rivers.

Sinkings were common among the wooden vessels, which often were poorly constructed.

What often happened, at least on the Missouri River, was the boat would

strike an underwater tree that had been uprooted and become lodged in the river bottom, tearing a hole that would sink the ship. Dasovich estimated that the remains of 500 to 700 steamboats sit at the bottom of the Missouri River, scattered from its mouth in Montana to its convergence with the Mississippi near St. Louis.

The number of sunken steamboats on the Mississippi River is likely about the same, Dasovich said.

Steamboat traffic was far heavier on the Mississippi, but traffic there was and is less susceptible to river debris.

The U.S. Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers urge sightseers to stay away from any shipwreck sites.

KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE (23) SOARS FOR A BUCKET AND A FOUL from Ohio State guard Shannon Scott during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 74-66 victory on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. McLemore scored a game-high 22 points.

Releford’s ‘D’ presents KU with statement win

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Kansas University senior Travis Releford stuck to preseason All-American Deshaun Thomas like wrapping paper on a Christmas present Saturday afternoon in Value City Arena.

Releford held Thomas, the 6-foot-7, 215-pound junior sensation, to 16 points off miserable 4-of-11 shooting in the No. 9-ranked Jayhawks’ 74-66 men’s basketball victory over the No. 7-rated Buckeyes.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound

Releford’s inspired defense seemed to break the spirit of the Buckeyes of the Big Ten, who hit just 25.0 percent of their shots the second half, going just two-of-18 from three.

Could Releford tell Thomas was becoming frustrated by the sticky defense?

“Of course,” Releford said after his 38-minute stint.

Thomas also played 38 minutes.

“Not just him, but the team, the coaches, everybody on the bench. You could see once they were not getting what they wanted on offense, everything broke apart for

them,” added Releford, who chipped in 11 points on a day Ben McLemore exploded for 22 points and Jeff Withey 14 points with 10 rebounds.

Releford’s points, off 4-of-5 shooting, came in handy on a day his defense proved downright inspirational to the Jayhawks, who improved to 10-1. Ohio State fell to 9-2.

“I think his defense was a big part of what we did tonight. He stepped up to the plate and did what he needed to do to get us going,” said KU point guard Elijah Johnson, who scored 13 points.

“He didn’t give them any

confidence. He was there on every pass. He was there on every shot. It turned us up offensively and defensively.”

Releford’s strategy was simple: to stick to Thomas like a beard on a fake department-store Santa.

“Just be there on the catch.

You’ve got to play physical.

You can’t let him get what he wants,” Releford said. “It was a team effort. We had it where, if he caught it in the post, we’d trap him. He couldn’t post up. He knew we had a trap coming. The rest of the game he was trying to KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD (24) EXTENDS to defend against a shot by Please see KANSAS, page 4B Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas.

McLemore’s game, Jayhawks keep soaring COLUMBUS, OHIO — For a second-half stretch that ate 10 minutes and nine seconds Saturday, the No. 7 college basketball team in the nation didn’t make a single field goal playing on its home floor in front of 19,049 spectators. tkeegan@ljworld.com Then again, in defeating Ohio State, 74-66, No. 9 Kansas had a defensive adred-shirt freshman Ben vantage that no other team McLemore from scoring. can claim.

McLemore scored a gamehigh 22 points in 36 minutes of action.

Both coaches raved about him afterward, Ohio State’s Thad Matta calling him, “as good as any player in the country.”

“I’ve never had anybody like this guy,” Kansas coach Bill Self marveled after an impressive victory that if justice is served will result in Kansas moving into the top five in the rankings.

“Brandon (Rush) is the closest. Brandon shot it better early in his career. Brandon slid a little better defensively, but Ben can impact the game more because he’s a better scorer than Brandon. Brandon was a shooter.

Ben’s more of a shooter and a scorer.”

Not to mention a soarer and a scorer. On an out-ofbounds lob play, McLemore was looking way down at the rim when he caught the

ball before flushing it. On another lob, he fumbled the ball and still was able to get his own rebound for a tip-in and a free throw.

“He makes plays you can’t coach,” Self said. “You throw the ball to the rim twice, and he comes away with five points. You run average offense and pitch it to him, he jumps up and over somebody and makes a shot.

KU track’s Conley has famous friends, bloodline

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Not many in Lawrence can reflect on watching TV at the age of 6 sitting beside a 12-year-old “geek, had the glasses, kind of just like a noodle” by the name of Greg Oden.

“We were close,” said Sydney Conley, a freshman horizontal jumper and sprinter

on the Kansas University track and field team. “We would watch Disney Channel together. He was like a big kid. He would stay at our house a lot. We would watch cartoons, eat our Cheetos together and just laugh. He was like another brother to me. It was nice.”

Oden would go on to become the No. 1 pick of the 2007 NBA Draft, by the

Portland Trail Blazers. He teamed with Sydney’s oldest of three brothers, Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley Jr., from sixth grade through freshman year of college at Ohio State. Mike Jr. was the fourth pick in the same NBA Draft and is the starting point guard of the Grizzlies.

“I’m a true lefty,” Sydney said. “(Mike Jr.) really is

a right-hander, but he just chooses to use his left hand.

He’s a true righty. When he was little, he started out with his right and switched to his left. But when he does his floaters, he does it with his right. He can’t shoot them with his left.”

Their father, Mike Conley Sr., won a gold medal in the Barcelona Olympic Games in the triple jump in 1992, eight

years after winning a silver in the Olympics in Los Angeles.

“Every big meet, he was always right there,” Sydney said of her father. “My senior year, at nationals, the top five jumpers in the country are at that one meet, and I was panicking. I might have been in like sixth place heading into

Chiefs look to draft as Colts eye playoffs KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Indianapolis Colts of a year ago were in no better shape than the Kansas City Chiefs of this season.

Their offense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score, their defense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop anybody, and they had just one win when mid-December rolled around.

At least Kansas City has two wins to show for its season of discontent.

But when the Chiefs gaze across the field today, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a franchise that has made one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising turnarounds. The Colts will be out to secure a playoff berth that few expected, and in doing so, give the Chiefs a reason to believe better days are still ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew coming into the locker room, it was a confident bunch of guys and a talented bunch of guys, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody worried about what happened last year,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Luck, the quarterback the Colts managed to draft first overall as a result of their 2-14 finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just focused on getting better,â&#x20AC;? Luck said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thankfully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won some games and hopefully put ourselves in a spot to win some more.â&#x20AC;?

The Colts (9-5) blew their first shot at clinching a playoff berth last Sunday, when they lost to Houston. But they can still get in with a win over the Chiefs (2-12) or in their season-finale against the Texans, or if the Steelers lose one of their two remaining games.

Pittsburgh plays Cincinnati today before finishing up against lowly Cleveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this game will determine if they go to the playoffs or not,â&#x20AC;? Chiefs safety Eric Berry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m expecting everything from them.â&#x20AC;?

Expectations have certainly risen in Indianapolis since last season.

The reclamation began when the Colts released

the injured, 35-year-old Peyton Manning in March and decided to draft Luck over Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. New general manager Ryan Grigson then cut defensive captains Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt, running back Joseph Addai and tight end Dallas Clark to free up space under the salary cap.

Veteran center Jeff Saturday and wide receiver Pierre Garcon walked in free agency, and Grigson filled the holes through savvy draft decisions and with cost-effective veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The young players came in and listened to our veteran leadership,â&#x20AC;? said interim coach Bruce Arians, who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano undergoes treatment for leukemia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some veterans

who have won a lot of ballgames here,â&#x20AC;? Arians said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they did a great job of grabbing those guys and telling them how important they would be to win.â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefs are in a similar situation as the Colts were heading into this offseason.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re neck-and-neck with Jacksonville for the first overall draft choice, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widely expected that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend it on a quarterback after getting inconsistent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at times downright lousy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; play out of Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn this season.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no Luck, of course. But guys such as Geno Smith of West Virginia and Matt Barkley of Southern Cal could give Kansas City a similar young talent around which they could retool one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst offenses.

Losing seasons silence KCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge at Arrowhead KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The electronic ribbon board that encircles one of the decks at Arrowhead Stadium still boasts before games that the home of the Kansas City Chiefs is the loudest in the NFL. The 40-year-old building is configured in such a way that sound tends to reverberate inside the bowl, creating a deafening home-field advantage.

Veterans who played there years ago often said they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear themselves talking amid the din. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the No. 1 outside stadium Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been inâ&#x20AC;? in terms of noise, said Colts interim coach Bruce Arians, who coached running backs for the Chiefs from 1989-92. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only place that was even close, when I was in Kansas City, we went to Buffalo and Jim Kelly and those guys, we played them on Monday night in Kansas City,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we went there for the playoffs and they were rocking our buses.

We could hardly get in the parking lot.â&#x20AC;?

All that ruckus in Kansas City seems to be a thing of the past, washed away by an on-field product that has been dull, inept and unsuccessful.

These days, you could probably hear a baby rattle in the upper deck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to have a home-field advantage with the Chiefs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way for years,â&#x20AC;? said linebacker Derrick Johnson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around long enough to remember some of them.

The Chiefs were 7-1 at home when he broke into the league as a rookie. It

30 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. was their final year under Dick Vermeil, and they went 10-6 overall, but failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The Chiefs were 6-2 at home the following year, when they went 9-7 under Herm Edwards and were beaten by the Colts in the postseason. And even two years ago under Todd Haley, the Chiefs managed to go 10-6 and qualify for the playoffs because they went 7-1 at home.

That 2010 season is quickly becoming the aberration. Kansas City was 2-6 at home in 2007 and 1-7 each of the next two years.

They were 3-5 last season and are 1-6 with one game left in 2012, making them a combined 12-27 over the past five seasons.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a .308 winning percentage. In a place where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won better than 57 percent of their games.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to go out without a bad taste in our mouth at home,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said, shaking his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only won one game at home. You want to play better at home.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, the Chiefs have only that one victory at home this season. If they go 1-7 at Arrowhead again, well, the last time they managed only one victory before 2008 was 1977.

Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn is stumped by the lack of success, but he does know that winning the home finale against the Indianapolis Colts today would help assuage some of the angst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be a sweet taste in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth,â&#x20AC;? Quinn said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we could leave there for the last time this season with a win.â&#x20AC;?

my last jump. He was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Relax. All you have to do is relax and run.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I did exactly what he said, and I won the whole thing.â&#x20AC;?

Her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold medal and sliver medals are displayed prominently behind glass in Arkansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; athletic Hall of Fame. Sydney is happy to talk about her famous father and brother and the one-time No. 1 overall draft pick. She takes pride in all of them, but talks of them only when prompted. She came to Kansas not just to put more distance on her jumps, but to get far enough away to escape secondary fame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arkansas recruited me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody expected me to go there. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you go to Arkansas? Your dad went there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I just want to do my own thing. I want to be able to have my own name and just do something new at my own place. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be living under his shadow for four years.â&#x20AC;?

Saying no to Arkansas, she said, was difficult because she became friends with so many of the track athletes there during her days as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dominant sprinter/jumper competing for Fayetteville High. The family moved from Indianapolis, where her brother and Oden starred for Lawrence North High, a few weeks into her freshman year of high school.

Conley first signed with Alabama, but she said that she found out too late that the school required her to take the written portion of the SAT, so she received a release from her letter of intent and reversed the emotions experienced by KU track coach Stanley Redwine when she called to let him know she would be signing with Alabama.

Conley wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just saying no to a coach, she was saying no to her uncle. Redwine and Mike Conley Sr., teammates at Arkansas, are married to sisters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My aunt, coach Redwineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, introduced my mom to my dad,â&#x20AC;? Sydney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all four were real close.â&#x20AC;?

Sydney said she made the call, which she cited as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the toughest partâ&#x20AC;? of the recruitment process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an adult now. You have to handle that yourself.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It broke his heart,â&#x20AC;? she said of the heart she mended months later by reversing her decision.

Sydney refers to Uncle Stanley as â&#x20AC;&#x153;coach Redwine,â&#x20AC;? not â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncle Stanley.â&#x20AC;? She takes her instruction from horizontal-jumps coach Wayne Pate, who has coached five Olympians, 48 AllAmericans and seven national champions, and also appreciates guidance from teammates.

Long jumper Francine Simpson, a senior from Jamaica, placed fourth in the NCAA outdoor championships. Triple-jumper Andrea Geubelle, a senior from University Place, Wash., is reigning NCAA indoor national champion and finished third in the outdoor NCAA meet and the U.S. Olympic trials.

Geubelle quickly proved to her new teammate that she considers track a team sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we were doing hurdle drills, and (then) we had to jog around Anschutz,â&#x20AC;? Conley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like long-distance stuff.

She had already finished her workout. Her work was done. And Andrea just started running beside me, telling me to keep going, to come on, keep

And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to share her gold medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just touched it,â&#x20AC;? Conley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has it right there in her room. I took pictures with it. That gold medal, words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even explain. Being able to hold a gold medal is just kind of like, wow, just like, wow, and for her to be able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I won a gold medal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we want in track.

Conley said her basketball days â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she started as a junior for the Arkansas state champions, but did not participate as a senior in order to concentrate on track â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are behind her.

She still enjoys watching the sport and has taken in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games at Allen Fieldhouse. Count her among those amazed at the extraordinary feel for the game exhibited nightly by senior All-American candidate Angel Goodrich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the truest point guards Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen,â&#x20AC;? Conley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just gives it up. If somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide-open, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give it to them before she takes the shot. She can see the floor real well. Some of her passes get me (faked out). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be watching, and she gets me.â&#x20AC;?

Sydney said she went to several of her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games at Ohio State but expected to experience no ambivalence when watching Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kansas-Ohio State game in the Schottenstein Center from the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Fayetteville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas,â&#x20AC;? she said of where her loyalties lie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why not? I go here. My brother doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play there anymore. I only liked them because he went there.â&#x20AC;?

Thus far, Conley has been limited to a role as a spectator for Kansas.

A hamstring injury suffered sprinting in practice forced her to scratch from KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first indoor meet.

She said she expects to be ready to participate in the Jan. 5 Bill Easton Classic in Anschutz Pavilion. That represents a start. Her goals stretch all the way to Rio de Janeiro, site of the next Summer Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That gold medalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice,â&#x20AC;? she said of Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewelry, a symbol of past accomplishment and a motivating force for many. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to be able to bite one of mine one day, 2016.

KANSAS 74, OHIO STATE 66

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Buckeyes doomed by poor shooting ————

Ohio State hit just 31 percent of its field goals against Jayhawks

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Dec. 25 can’t come soon enough for Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta.

“I asked Santa for Christmas to improve our jump-shooting,” Matta said with a wry smile following OSU’s 74-66 loss to Kansas University on Saturday afternoon.

The Buckeyes kept their turnovers down (13) and performed well on the offensive glass (17 offensive boards) but simply couldn’t overcome a poor shooting night.

OSU made just 20 of 65 field goals for a frigid 31 percent.

“You gotta put the ball in the basket in a game like this,” Matta said. “We couldn’t do it, and it became contagious throughout.”

The Buckeyes’ fieldgoal percentage was their second-worst in the last five seasons.

Only a 26-percent effort in a 58-48 home loss to Michigan State last year was lower.

“All in all, basketball’s a simple game: Get stops, and put the ball in the bucket,” OSU guard Aar-

on Craft said. “We weren’t doing either tonight, and Kansas was able to do that.”

The Buckeyes especially struggled in the second half, going 10 minutes, 9 seconds during one stretch without a field goal. During that time, OSU missed 12 straight shots from the floor.

A reporter asked the OSU players if they could remember a time — in a game or practice — when they had been that cold shooting.

“A long time,” OSU forward Deshaun Thomas said.

“Not really,” Craft added.

Matta was quick to credit KU afterward, saying it was one of the two best teams that had played Ohio State at Value City Arena during his tenure. The other team was 2004-05 Illinois, which ended as the national runner-up.

The dismal offensive showing was so frustrating that Matta even turned to his coaches during the second half and said, “Hey, let’s call a play where we can score.”

After making 46 percent of its threes in the first

half, Ohio State made just two of 18 after halftime.

“We needed that one to go. We needed the tide to turn for us,” Matta said.

“I thought we had some great drive and kicks and just ... one after another (missed).”

OSU attempted 31 three-pointers, the most for the team in the last three seasons.

It didn’t work. The Buckeyes made just eight of those tries (26 percent).

“We knew against these guys ‘drive and kick’ was going to be huge,” Matta said. “We knew we were going to have to shoot a

better percentage from three than we actually did.”

The Buckeyes made just nine of 36 field-goal tries in the second half (25 percent).

“Pressure has really taken us out of our offense,” Craft said. “That was one of our big emphases going into the game, really trying to execute offensively and stay in our offense regardless of what they’re doing.

“First half, I think we did a really good job. Second half, we had more broken plays. We didn’t execute as well.”

shoot threes. We were going to live with that.”

Thomas hit three of seven threes and committed three turnovers. Fans groaned — a lot of them booed — following his airball on a three from the corner down the stretch.

“I wasn’t worried about him taking me inside,” Releford said, “because I’m kind of strong myself, and I had Jeff behind me to help out and eliminate him posting me up. I was more focused on making him take tough shots and get him outside of his game.”

Thomas, who scored 19 in a loss to KU in Allen Fieldhouse and nine in another loss to KU in the Final Four a year ago, said: “Last year they probably didn’t really know anything about me, and I came in and had a big first half against them at their place. The 7-foot guy (Withey) and they are double-teaming me catching in the post. It’s hard to see over ’em.”

KU coach Bill Self, who said, “today is probably the best we’ve played against Ohio State in the three games (last year and Saturday),” explained the defensive game plan on Thomas.

“He’s a hard match-up, and he was a hard matchup for us last year when we had Thomas Robinson on him. We play two traditional bigs, and he’s not traditional, so it probably was a good match-up for us being able to put a guard on him and then doubling him on the post,” Self said.

Thomas did score five points in a 14-0 run that gave Ohio State a 31-23 lead with 6:30 left in the

first half. KU answered with a 9-0 burst, however, to regain the advantage, 32-31, at 2:21.

The Jayhawks led, 3735, at halftime. Up 56-52, KU went on an 8-0 roll (Johnson and McLemore had four points apiece) to stretch the lead to 64-52 at 4:36.

“In the first half, I don’t know if they ran off of misses. I think they ran off of turnovers,” Self said.

KU had 11 turnovers the first half, eight the second. “We did a miserable job taking care of the basketball. That’s one of the things we have to get a lot better at, handling the ball under pressure.”

However, overall ... “I thought we were really good except for a threeNick Krug/Journal-World Photos minute stretch the first half when they went on KANSAS FORWARD KEVIN YOUNG (40) FINISHES A DUNK and gets a foul from Ohio State center Amir Williams during the 10-0 run or something the first half of the Jayhawks’ 74-66 victory on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. like that,” Self said.

KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE EXTENDS HIS LIMBS AS HE DEFENDS AGAINST AN INBOUND PASS from Ohio State forward Sam Thompson during the first half. McLemore scored a game-high 22 points in the Jayhawks’ 74-66 victory on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.

“He tries so hard,” anything but graceful on tinue to soar, so too will Self knows how to said Releford, the team’s a basketball court, even Kansas in the rankings.

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Elijah Johnson sees Saturday’s eight-point men’s basketball victory at No. 7-ranked Ohio State as an early-season statement game. “(It was) real big,” Kansas University’s senior point guard said of the 7466 victory before 19,049 fans in Value City Arena.

“Now we know we’ve got the same kind of team we’ve always had. We will fight back. We will not lay down for anybody.”

The Jayhawks trailed by as many as eight in the first half, yet led, 37-35 at the break. No 9-rated KU used suffocating defense to hold the Buckeyes to 25 percent shooting the second half (9-of-36, 2-of-18 from three).

“Yes, and we tried to capitalize on it,” Johnson said when asked if he sensed frustration from the home team.

“I think we fell apart at the end,” he quickly added. “We’ve got to do a better job on closing games out.”

KU saw a 12-point lead dip to six late, though Jeff Withey saved the day by hitting all four of his freethrow tries late.

“Coach put it in my head, it’s the best feeling in the world,” Johnson said of winning on the road. “It’s a hard game to play, especially a good program like that. To go to their house and do that, that’s big. That’s big-ball right there.”

The Jayhawks snapped Ohio State’s 39-game nonconference homecourt win streak. The last loss had been to West Virginia on Dec. 27, 2008.

Home for holiday: KU’s players broke for Christmas after the game. Some returned to Lawrence on charter plane. Other out-of-state Jayhawks remained in Columbus on Saturday night and were to fly out of the Columbus airport to their hometowns this morning.

They will reassemble in Lawrence for practice the night of Dec. 26.

Ben to visit brother: KU freshman Ben McLemore said that today he will visit his brother, Keith McLemore, who celebrates his birthday on Christmas Day locked up in Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Springs, Mo. “I’ll be there just a couple of hours to see him,” Ben said. “Finally, (for the first time) since I’ve been in college. He’s been watching my games. He definitely watched this game so he might even be calling me tonight to congratulate me on the win. I just can’t wait to get home,” the St. Louis native added.

OSU’s Aaron Craft on McLemore: “He’s a great player. He’s surrounded by great players as well.

I think sometimes we get caught up in trying to focus on the rest of their action, then you kind of lose him. In the one-on-one situation, he’s 6-6, can shoot over the smaller guys. He got off early. He made a couple shots. Giving a guy like that confidence that has been playing great all year ... that’s tough to stop.”

Turnovers: Johnson had four turnovers against two assists to go with 13 points.

He had just one turnover the second half.

“I got used to the ball.

We were fumbling it. We got a rhythm with it,” Johnson said. “We realized we’ve got to take care of the ball, adjust to the ball, don’t let the ball adjust to you.”

Streak ends: OSU grabbed its first lead, 2423, with 8:31 left in the first half. It marked the first time KU surrendered the lead in the last seven games. The consecutive streak ended at 306 minutes, 5 seconds dating to the Nov. 15 win over Chattanooga.

Releford on whether this was a statement win: “Yes, of course. It’s early.

I think we played all right.

There’s a lot of stuff we can do better and room for improvement for this team. The sky is the limit for this team now. I feel we’re playing really well.”

Stats, facts: KU’s Naadir Tharpe had three assists against no turnovers while going 2-for-2 from the field (1-for-1 from three) in 15 effective minutes. ... Kevin Young had 10 rebounds, six points and three assists in 33 minutes. ... KU leads the all-time series vs. OSU, 8-3. ...

Temple 83, No. 3 Syracuse 79 NEW YORK — Khalif Wyatt scored 33 points, and Anthony Lee had 21 — both career highs — and Temple, despite not making a field goal over the final 51⁄2 minutes, upset Syracuse on Saturday in the Chevrolet Gotham Classic at Madison Square Garden.

The Owls (9-2), coming off a 10-point home loss to Canisius, used the combination of Wyatt from the outside and Lee inside to keep Syracuse at bay. The Orange led by two at halftime but never took a lead in the second half even though there were four ties, the last at 59 with 10:23 to play.

C.J. Fair had a careerhigh 25 points for Syracuse (10-1), which had its 52game regular-season nonconference winning streak snapped. Jim Boeheim remained at 900 wins, two behind Bob Knight for second place all-time among Division I men’s coaches.

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski has 938 wins.

Temple hit three threepointers in an 11-3 run that gave it the lead for good.

Scootie Randall started the run with a three that broke the 59-all tie. He closed the run with another three, his only points of the game.

Wyatt and Lee took care of the rest. Wyatt finished 8-of-17 from the field and was 15-of-15 from the freethrow line. Lee was open time and again on the baseline and worked hard on the boards. He had nine rebounds, five offensive, and was 11-of-14 from the free-throw line.

The Owls were 29-of-36 from the free-throw line compared to Syracuse’s 19-of-34 effort, including point guard Michael Carter-Williams going 7-of-15.

The three-point line also hurt the Orange, who were 2-of-12 from behind the arc while Temple was 8-of-24.

Temple’s last field goal was an offensive rebound

by Quenton DeCosey with 5:41 left that gave the Owls a 72-66 lead.

Syracuse did get within 74-72 on a three by Fair with 3:01 left, but the Owls went 11-of-15 from the free-throw line over the final 2:30.

Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson had four points and 10 rebounds for the Owls.

Brandon Triche had 17 points for Syracuse. Baye Moussa Keita added 12 and Carter-Williams, who leads the nation in assists at 10.7 per game, had 13 points and six assists.

Temple missed 10 of its first 12 shots in falling behind 19-10. The Owls, behind Wyatt, who had 20 points in the first half, started hitting shots against the Orange’s zone defense, and they made nine of their next 14 shots and tied the game at 35.

Syracuse scored five straight points but Wyatt capped his big half with a three-pointer with 17 seconds left and Temple was within 40-38 at halftime.

No. 15 Georgetown 65, American 48 WASHINGTON — Otto Porter had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Georgetown pulled away late in the first half to beat D.C. neighbor American.

Greg Whittington added 13 points for the Hoyas (101), who took advantage of the sizable talent gap between the Big East school and the Eagles from the Patriot League. Georgetown has a nine-game winning streak over American, its last loss coming 30 years ago when Patrick Ewing and Co. lost by one point in what still stands as the biggest intra-city upset in the nation’s capital.

Any thought of another stunner was dispatched when Georgetown went on an 11-2 run to end the first half, then an 8-0 spurt to start the second half to build a 48-25 lead. The Hoyas have won seven straight since an overtime loss to then-No. 1 Indiana.

Daniel Munoz scored 15 points to lead the Eagles (4-8).

South Dakota State 70, No. 16 New Mexico 65 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Nate Wolters scored 28 points and handed out seven assists, leading South Dakota State to an upset of New Mexico.

Kendall Williams scored 21 to lead the Lobos (12-1), who went a frustrating 7-of-12 from the foul line in the closing minutes as they tried to complete a comeback.

Jordan Dykstra had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Jackrabbits, who went 10-for-11 from the line down the stretch to preserve their lead. Chad White added 13 points for South Dakota State, and Brayden Carlson had 10.

No. 18 San Diego St. 80, San Francisco 58 HONOLULU — Chase Tapley made six three-pointers on his way to a careerhigh 33 points, and San Diego State beat San Francisco in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic for its 10th straight win.

Tapley gave the Aztecs (10-1) their first cushion in the opening half with three jumpers during a two-minute stretch, and he was just getting warmed up. The senior was 13-of-19 from the field, with nine of those from outside, and back-toback threes with nine minutes left in the game sent San Diego State on its way.

The Aztecs have beaten seven California schools this season, including USC and UCLA. They next play Sunday against Indiana State, which beat Ole Miss in overtime earlier Saturday.

The Dons (5-5) tried to keep it close and never let San Diego State go ahead by more than 10 points until just more than six minutes were left in the game.

No. 19 Butler 75, Evansville 67 INDIANAPOLIS — Rotnei Clarke and Andrew Smith each scored 20 points to lead Butler past pesky Evansville.

The Bulldogs (9-2) won their sixth straight and completed a sweep of the five Indiana schools they played this season in nonconference action — including last weekend’s stunning overtime victory against the top-ranked Hoosiers.

Evansville (7-5) was led

by Colt Ryan with 25 points.

Butler, playing its first game since breaking into the Top 25 following last week’s win over then-No. 1 Indiana, was sluggish early but regrouped with a 22-8 run that gave the Bulldogs a 25-17 lead with 6:34 left in the first half. Evansville spent the rest of the game playing catch-up.

BIG 12 MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ROUNDUP

Charlie Riedel/AP Photo

KANSAS STATE GUARD WILL SPRADLING (55) BEATS Florida guard Michael Frazier II to a rebound during the second half on Saturday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas State won, 67-61.

KSU, KC kid Spradling upend No. 8 Florida The Associated Press

Kansas State 67, No. 8 Florida 61 Leave it to the kid from suburban Kansas City to help Kansas State finish off a banner day for the college hoops programs that the city calls its own.

Will Spradling had the best game of his career with 17 points, six rebounds and five assists, and the Wildcats upended Florida on Saturday night.

Their win followed No. 9 Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victory over No. 7 Ohio State and No. 12 Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over No. 10 Illinois earlier in the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shooting it well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you see the ball go through the net â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it brings confidence to you and for your team as well,â&#x20AC;? said Spradling, a junior guard from Overland Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably my best all-around performance that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had.â&#x20AC;?

No doubt.

Spradling didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even commit a turnover in 39 minutes.

Rodney McGruder added 13 points, and Jordan Henriquez had nine points and five blocks for the Wildcats (9-2), who watched a 10-point halftime lead evaporate before clamping down against one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defensive teams and then pulling away in the final minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in tune with one another. We wanted this game,â&#x20AC;? McGruder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our preparation for Florida was great, tremendous. The past couple practices guys were getting after one another.â&#x20AC;?

Patric Young had 19 points for the Gators (82), including two with just over two minutes left that got them within 5855. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Shane Southwell knocked down a three from the corner, and McGruder made two free throws with 1:05 left to create some breathing room.

Kansas State held on from the foul line for its first regular-season, nonconference victory over a Top-10 team since defeating No. 8 Minnesota on Dec. 21, 1981.

Kenny Boynton and Scott Wilbekin scored 11 each for the Gators, whose only other loss came at then-No. 8 Arizona. Leading scorer Mike Rosario was held to five points on 1-of-9 shooting.

The Wildcats have been

struggling in new coach Bruce Weberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion offense, and it showed in sloppy, lackluster losses to No. 2 Michigan and No. 14 Gonzaga. But they finally managed to get it clicking just enough against one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier defenses.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The last two times Boise State played in the Las Vegas Bowl, there were other places the Broncos wanted to be. Not so on Saturday, when the smallest player on the team came up big in a 28-26 victory over Washington.

After two straight blowouts in the Las Vegas Bowl, the Broncos had to work hard for a win sealed by a 27-yard field goal by 5-foot-5 Michael Frisina with 1:16 left. It left them feeling good about a game and a season when, unlike the last two years, there was hardly any talk about Boise State being in a BCS game.

“The most satisfying thing about this season was each week you’d see us get just a little bit better,” Boise State coach Chris Petersen said.

“These guys, they don’t go through the motions.

They have a chip on their shoulder.”

The win capped another strong year for the No. 20 Broncos (11-2), who had to overcome a 205-yard rushing game by Bishop Sankey against their normally stingy defense. Sankey also had 74 yards receiving, giving him 279 of Washington’s 447 yards from scrimmage.

But it was Frisina who came up with the biggest game of his career in his final game. He kicked three field goals, including the first game winner he could ever recall booting.

“It’s every kicker’s dream to win a big game with a field goal,” Frisina said. “For this one to come on the last game of my career, you couldn’t ask for anything more.’

Washington (7-6) had taken the lead for the first time on a 38-yard field goal by Travis Coons with 4:09 left when No. 20 Boi-

se State got a big kickoff return by freshman Shane Williams-Rhodes to the Washington 42. Joe Southwick guided the team to the 12 before Frisina hit the winning kick.

“I was just focused on what I had to do,” Frisina said.

Boise State sealed the win when Jeremy Ioane intercepted Keith Price’s pass as the Huskies neared midfield.

“To their credit they found a way to win the game in the end,” said Washington coach Steve Sarkisian. “Our inability to finish is pretty blaring.”

Sankey, who was third

on the depth list when fall practice began, rushed 30 times and caught six passes in the biggest game of his career. He scored one touchdown and was the MVP of the game, despite being on the losing side.

“There’s a lot of mixed emotions going on,” Sankey said. “The MVP doesn’t mean so much when you come out a loser.”

Frisina was only 12 for 17 on field goals coming into the game, but kicked three of them, including a 34-yarder to open the scoring that was his first field goal over 30 yards for the year. Southwick, meanwhile, had another efficient game, completing 26 of 38 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns for a Boise State team that struggled offensively through much of the season before improving over its last three games.

“All year I knew I could play at this level,” he said.

“It’s just a lot of work, a lot of moving parts to put the puzzle together. The last three games it’s really showed. We’ve just been executing at a high level in the offense.”

Southwick, a junior who took over from the departing Kellen Moore, also ran for 39 yards and had a punt that pinned Washington by its goal line in the fourth quarter.

Boise State, which outscored Utah and Arizona State 82-24 in its two previous Las Vegas Bowl wins, looked headed for a third straight blowout when Holden Huff scored on a 34-yard pass with 5:25 left in the second quarter for an 18-3 lead. But Sankey scored on a 26-yard run on Washington’s next possession, and Price scrambled for another score with three seconds left to make it 18-17 at halftime.

NEW ORLEANS BOWL

Soph QB Broadway does it all in Louisiana-Lafayette victory NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Whether Terrance Broadway was throwing, running, or throwing on the run, he gave East Carolina fits and justified Louisiana-Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth’s decision to let his sophomore quarterback finish the season as his starter.

Broadway passed for 316 yards and ran for 108, helping LouisianaLafayette repeat as winners of the New Orleans Bowl with a 43-34 victory against East Carolina on Saturday.

The performance capped a 2012 campaign which opened with Broadway backing up senior Blaine Gautier, who broke a bone in his throwing hand in late September.

“Terrance comes in and just has a phenomenal season,” Hudspeth said, describing the difficult decision not to give Gautier, the New Orleans Bowl MVP a year ago, his job back when he was healthy again late in the season.

“We really had hit our stride and the best thing about Blaine is he understood.”

Broadway had to sit out last season after transferring from Houston, and saw this year’s New Orleans Bowl as his first real chance to add some kind of championship to his name after coming up short as a high school standout in Baton Rouge, La. “My main goal was to get our team a big win in this bowl game and just to get that monkey off my back that I didn’t have a

THE WESTERN WALL AND GOLDEN DOME OF THE ROCK are pictured Dec. 13 in Jerusalem’s Old City. Jerusalem is best known for its multitude of holy sites, and its most famous shrines can be visited for free. But beyond its earthly past, Jerusalem has an impossible beauty with broad appeal. For residents and tourists, secular and religious souls, city slickers or nature lovers, there is always an unexplored alleyway, street corner or vista that will show you the city as you’ve never seen it before.

5 free things for visitors to do in Jerusalem

By Daniela Berretta Associated Press

JERUSALEM — No other city in the world exudes spirituality and inspires devotion like Jerusalem, home to important shrines of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Virtually every stone of the walled fortress-like Old City seems to tell the story of a biblical figure or battle.

But Jerusalem’s impossible beauty has broad appeal beyond religion or history. For residents and tourists, secular or pious, city slickers or nature lovers, there is always an unexplored alleyway, corner or vista to show the city as you’ve never seen it before. And many of these sites are free.

Sacred sites Jerusalem’s most famous holy sites are inside the Old City walls, past a maze of small alleys, bustling marketplaces and wide squares.

The Temple Mount, also known as Haram alSharif (in Arabic, the Noble Sanctuary), is a wellknown but controversial landmark. The hilltop compound is the holiest site in Judaism, believed to be where Abraham almost sacrificed his son Isaac, and where the First and Second Temples were built. The Temple Mount includes the Western Wall, the last remnant of the Second Temple built

by King Herod in the first century. Jews gather here to pray and leave notes between the stones.

For Muslims, the compound is home to the AlAqsa Mosque and goldcapped Dome of the Rock, one of Jerusalem’s most recognizable symbols.

This is Islam’s third-holiest place, after the cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. According to Islamic tradition, this is where Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven on his Night Journey.

A short walk away is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the holiest of Christian sites. It is said to be located where Christ was crucified (the Golgotha) and buried. The site, built by Roman Emperor Constantine in 325, was destroyed in the 11th century and restored by Crusaders a century later.

Despite large crowds, it offers plenty of corners for solitary prayer and meditation.

The Mahane Yehuda market With its pushy crowds, spiced smells, deafening shouts and melting pot of people, the Mahane Yehuda market is a metaphor for Jerusalem.

The 19th-century “shuk” or market is located in a central area of West Jerusalem and in recent years has become a place to shop, hang out, sip coffee and eat delicious world food.

Get lost in countless

THE MONTEFIORE WINDMILL in Mishkenot Shaananim neighborhood in Jerusalem was constructed in 1860

Score one for the old guys: Familiar pop culture icons rocked in 2012

ADELE POSES BACKSTAGE WITH HER SIX AWARDS at the 54th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12 in Los Angeles. Adele rolled so deep in 2012 that she’s been voted The Associated Press Entertainer of the Year.

Rolling in it: Adele voted Entertainer of the Year

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

NEW YORK — Though Adele didn’t have a new album or a worldwide tour in 2012, she’s still rolling. After a year of Grammy glory and James Bond soundtracking, Adele has been voted The Associated Press Entertainer of the Year.

In 132 ballots submitted by members and subscribers of the AP, Adele easily outpaced other vote-getters like Taylor Swift, “Fifty Shades of Grey” author E.L. James, the South Korean viral video star PSY and the cast of “Twilight.”

Editors and broadcasters were asked to cast their ballot for the person who had the most influence on entertainment and culture in 2012.

Adele’s year began in triumph at the Grammys, took a turn through recording the theme to the 007 film “Skyfall,” and ended with the birth of her son in October. The ubiquitous Adele was that rare thing in pop culture: an unqualified sensation, a megastar in a universe of niche hits.

By the end of the year, her sophomore album, “21,” had passed 10 million copies sold in the U.S., only the 21st album in the Nielsen SoundScan era (begun in 1991) to achieve diamond status. Buoyed by hits like “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep” long after its release in early 2011, “21” was also the topselling album on iTunes for the second year running.

As David Panian, news editor for Michigan’s Daily Telegram, put it: “It just seemed like you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing one of her songs.”

Women have had a lock on the annual Entertainer of the Year selection.

Previous winners include Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Betty White and Tina Fey. Stephen Colbert is the lone male winner in the six-year history of voting.

The Grammy Awards in February were essentially the de-facto crowning of the 24-year-old Adele, whose real name is Adele Adkins, as a pop queen. She won six awards, including album of the year. It was also a comeback of sorts for

Adele, who performed for the first time since having vocal cord surgery, drawing a standing ovation from the Staples Center crowd.

Accepting the album of the year award, a teary Adele exclaimed: “Mum, girl did good!” The emotional, sniffling singer endeared many viewers to her when she copped in her acceptance speech to having “a bit of snot.”

“This record is inspired by something that is really normal and everyone’s been through it: just a rubbish relationship,” said Adele.

But her luck in love has since turned, thanks to her boyfriend Simon Konecki. In an interview with Vogue magazine, Adele said she was through with break-up records and done being “a bitter witch.” When Adele announced in June that she was having a baby with Konecki, her website promptly crashed under the heavy traffic. Their son was born in October.

With such an avalanche of success and now a mother of a newborn son, Adele has understandably taken a step out of the spotlight.

One notable exception was recording the opening credits theme song to “Skyfall.” The song was recorded with her “21” producer Paul Epworth at the Abbey Road Studios in London with a 77-piece orchestra.

Within hours, it zoomed to the top of digital charts.

“There was an overwhelming embrace of Adele and her music,” said Joe Butkiewicz, executive editor of the Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “And that was never more evident to me than when I heard teenagers express their enthusiastic expectations for the new James Bond movie because Adele performed the theme song.”

The song recently received a Golden Globe nomination. No Bond theme has ever won the best original song Oscar, but given Adele’s awards success thus far, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think she has a chance of changing that. The tune is among the 75 short-listed songs in the Academy Awards category.

Queen Elizabeth II goes 3-D for Christmas LONDON — She made her acting debut at the London Olympics. Now Queen Elizabeth II is hitting the screen again — in 3D. Buckingham Palace says the monarch was “ready to embrace something new” for her annual Christmas broadcast in honor of her Diamond Jubilee year — 60 years on the throne.

The 86-year-old monarch has made a prerecorded Christmas

broadcast on radio since 1952 and on television since 1957. She writes the speeches herself, and the broadcasts mark the rare occasions in which the queen voices her own opinion without government consultation.

The palace said the queen has watched the broadcast and found it “absolutely lovely.”

It airs at 3 p.m. on Christmas Day.

NEW YORK — Marilyn Monroe. The Rolling Stones. And Bond — James Bond. What do they have in common?

Sure, one’s long gone, and one’s fictional. But all three marked a golden anniversary in 2012. And after a half-century in our pop-culture consciousness, they each displayed a surprisingly enduring appeal.

So even though, as a culture, we still worshiped at the fountain of youth this year, marveling at the precocious talents of a Lena Dunham, a Taylor Swift, and a slew of charming young Olympians, let’s also give a shoutout to some of our most enduring icons. Turns out some things never go out of style.

Once again, our highly subjective pop-culture journey through the year:

January Here begins the incredible ascendance of Lena Dunham, as HBO picks up the actress-director-writer’s “Girls,” a meditation on the awkwardness of being female and 20-ish in New York. By year’s end Dunham, at 26, will have gathered so much buzz, she’ll be on her way to becoming what her character, Hannah Horvath, can only dream of being: “The voice of my generation. Or at least, A voice. Of A generation.”

February Let’s hear it for the adults! Meryl Streep, 62, wins her third Oscar for “The Iron Lady.” It’s her 17th nomination, a record.

The whole ceremony has a vintage feel: Billy Crystal is back as host a year after the rocky appearance of the “young and hip” hosts, James Franco and Anne Hathaway. The best supporting actor, Christopher Plummer, is 82, and the best picture, “The Artist,” is a throwback to silent films.

Meanwhile, all hail Madonna — at 54, not only does she score at the Super Bowl with her halftime show, but by year’s end, her MDNA global tour will be the highest grossing of any in 2012.

(Second place? That goes to Bruce Springsteen, age 63.)

March Enter springtime, and youth again: Billboard’s top moneymaker for 2011 is Taylor Swift, less than half Madonna’s age. In 2012, Swift will have the biggest sales week for any album in a decade, for “Red.” She also writes for the soundtrack of one of the year’s hottest movies, The Hunger Games. Speaking of which, Jennifer Lawrence, 22, becomes a breakout star this year, rocketing to fame as Katniss Everdeen in the first installment of the Suzanne Collins trilogy.

April In technology news, Facebook buys Instagram for a cool $1 billion, banking on people’s insatiable desire to share photos of their most mundane moments.

And oh yes, it’s an election year, and it’s dog eat dog: Talk focuses on Seamus, GOP candidate Mitt Romney’s Irish setter. The pooch is long departed, but the image of him strapped to the roof of the family car, suffering gastric distress, is too much for many dog lovers to stomach (sorry) and will continue to dog Romney (sorry) for some time.

And we must mention the oldest pop-culture hero of the year: Abraham Lincoln is back, courtesy of Steven Spielberg’s movie and a typically mesmerizing performance by Daniel Day-Lewis.

December As the year ends, the world is abuzz with news of a royal pregnancy. Soon, a baby will be one of the biggest celebrities in the world. But for now, let’s give a shoutout to the Rolling Stones, whose average age is 68-plus, slightly older than the average Supreme Court justice. In five concerts marking their 50th year as a rock band, the grizzled foursome shows the world they still have the power to rock huge arenas (at huge prices), and upstage celebrity guests like Lady Gaga with their own charisma. Along with aging rockers McCartney, Springsteen, The Who and Pink Floyd, they dominate a televised benefit for storm victims. As for Mick Jagger, who at 69 hasn’t lost any of those “moves like Jagger,” we can only say, to paraphrase the famous movie line: “We’ll have what he’s having.”

long the way to becoming the fun, disposable piece of Hollywood trash that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Reacherâ&#x20AC;? is, it has a scene or two that may turn the stomachs of those still reeling from the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn., last week.

The camera takes the point of view of a riflemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telescopic gun sight as he surveys the innocent people strolling along in a park. It intermittently lands on various people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a young girl, a businesswoman, a man on a bench, a twentysomething baby sitter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before the gunman opens fire, killing five.

The audience I saw the film with gasped out loud and then got very quiet.

The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was still too fresh and it was a wake-up call to the audience, in a very effective and efficient way might I add, to our cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete and thorough addiction to guns. The movie goes out of its way to condemn this type of violence, of course, but it was tough to watch at first.

What was also interesting, however, was tracking how my own complicated personal feelings about the subject were negotiating with the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple good vs. evil construct as the movie continued forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Reacherâ&#x20AC;? is based on the popular book series by Lee Child about a mythic figure, a mysterious ex-Army investigator who lives by his own moral code and dispenses justice outside of the law â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a brute with a heart, if you will.

Writer/director Christopher McQuarrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rousing slice of mainstream entertainment doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take itself too seriously, especially because it seems at least partially designed to strategically up Tom Cruiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough

guy quotient as he turns 50. He does a terrific job keeping the plot tense, the romance simmering, and the action exciting in an old-school kind of way.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good at lightening the mood when things start getting too dark.

Cruise is up to the task of embodying the brooding 6-foot-5 best-selling book character even if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the physical stature to back it up, and Robert Duvall, Rosamund Pike, and Richard Jenkins provide ample backup.

In a weird bit of stunt casting that mostly works, legendary German film director Werner Herzog plays the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baddie.

Herzog is not much of an actor, but his alternately soothing and menacing voice does most of the heavy lifting.

Gradually, despite the appearance of a shooting range later in the film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Reacherâ&#x20AC;? overcomes its eerie early parallel to the most recent awful public shooting and becomes what it is: a skillfully plotted, disposable mystery that may serve as a launching pad to a new franchise for Tom Cruise.

A funny â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Writer/director/producer Judd Apatowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is 40â&#x20AC;? is many things, but mostly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a messy and consistently funny movie filled with bitter truths and anxieties about middleaged life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forgive movies that ramble as much as â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is 40â&#x20AC;? does when they keep supplying laughs.

In theory, you may think you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like two-and-ahalf-hour prestige pictures from Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most indulgent period, but Leanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie is hugely compelling. Plus, in 35mm, it will be gorgeous to look at as well.

This World War II work camp drama is a monumental battle of wills with lots of ambiguity and no clear cut good guys and bad guys. It features a durable William Holden, one of Alec Guinnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best performances, and the last great role of Japanese Hollywood import Sessue Hayakawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long career.

Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles from 2007â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knocked Upâ&#x20AC;? (which cemented Apatow as a new comedic powerhouse) as Pete and Debbie, a married couple struggling with the idea that they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting any younger. Besides using his real-life wife Mann in a lead role, the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters are back as well. At times, the movie feels like a behindthe-scenes peek at the Apatow household, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely his astute personal observations that make the movie so truthful and funny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that personal, mainly because the more specific we go about details of our world, the more anyone who saw the movie said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, that exact thing happens to me every day,â&#x20AC;?

Violence baked into popular culture

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Well aware that the television audience may be particularly sensitive, the Showtime network aired a disclaimer warning audiences of violent content in the season finales of its dramas â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homelandâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dexterâ&#x20AC;? last weekend. It was two days after a gunman killed 26 people in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.

The political thriller â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homelandâ&#x20AC;? that night featured the burial of a bullet-ridden body at sea and a car bomb that killed scores of people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dexter,â&#x20AC;? about a serial killer, had a couple of murders.

Viewer sensitivity, it seems, was not an issue: Last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homelandâ&#x20AC;? was the highest-rated episode in the two years the series has been on the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dexterâ&#x20AC;? was the top-rated episode of any series in Showtime history.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one illustration of how violence and gunplay are baked into the popular culture of television, movies and video games. Speaking publicly Friday for the first time since the shooting, the National Rifle Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive Wayne LaPierre criticized the media and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shadow industryâ&#x20AC;? of â&#x20AC;&#x153;vicious, violent video gamesâ&#x20AC;? as playing a role in the spate of mass shootings.

While gun control and problems with the mental health system have grabbed the most attention as ways to prevent further incidents, the level of violence in entertainment has been mentioned, too. There have been unconfirmed reports that gunman Adam Lanza was a video game devotee.

Certainly in the world of movies, danger is a constant refrain. James Bond has a personalized gun that responds to his palm print in the currently popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skyfall.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Avengers,â&#x20AC;? this

AP Photo/Activision

SOLDIERS AND TERRORISTS BATTLE in the streets of Yemen in a scene from the video game â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call of Duty: Black Ops II.â&#x20AC;? Video-game violence has come under increased scrutiny after the killing of 26 people, including 20 children, in a Connecticut elementary school Dec. 14. yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top earner with a box office gross of $623 million, features an assassin with a bow and arrow and the destruction of New York City. No. 2 is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dark Night Risesâ&#x20AC;? ($448 million), with considerable gun violence including the takeover of the New York Stock Exchange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hunger Gamesâ&#x20AC;? is No. 3 ($408 million), with an entire premise based on violence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game involving youngsters.

The Motion Picture Association of America expressed its outrage at the shootings this week and stands â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to be part of the national conversationâ&#x20AC;? about solutions, said Christopher Dodd, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman and CEO. Dodd is a former longtime U.S. senator from Connecticut.

The top-selling video game in November was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call of Duty: Black Ops II,â&#x20AC;? according to the NPD Group, which tracks game sales. For players, â&#x20AC;&#x153;enemies swarm and you pop their heads and push forward,â&#x20AC;?

PC Gamer described. The magazine called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call of Dutyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whack-a Mole, but with foreigners.â&#x20AC;?

The second-ranked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halo 4â&#x20AC;? is dark as well, and in the No. 3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3,â&#x20AC;? a game where players get points

based on how quickly and creatively they kill pursuers.

Hollywood often scours its product output to appear sensitive when a tragic event dominates the news, and makes adjustments like the disclaimer Showtime used on Sunday. NBC last Friday said it pulled a rerun of a Blake Shelton holiday special because it had a short animated segment where a reindeer was killed, and told its stations to show a Michael Buble special instead.

The question for many who follow popular culture is what the cumulative impact of so much violence is on a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain, particularly someone mentally vulnerable.

U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, questioned on Fox News Channel last weekend, said he believes the violent content causes people who use it to be more violent.

President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adviser, David Axelrod, tweeted that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in favor of gun control, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we also question marketing murder as a game?â&#x20AC;?

In a junket promoting his new movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Django Unchained,â&#x20AC;? actor Jamie Foxx said he believes violence in films does have an impact on society.

His director, Quentin Tarantino, batted down

Violence in video games seems more and more realistic all the time, notes Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University. Video game makers have even consulted doctors to ask what it would look like if a person was shot in the arm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how the blood would spurt out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in order to make the action seem real, he said.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possibilities for foodies and fun-seekers F

or the most part, I consider myself qualified to write this weekly Kansas City events column; I live in Kansas City, I can write, and I do stuff. But I must admit, I mostly hate New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve; the roads are full of drunks, going out can get expensive and I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own very many sparkly clothes.

But some of you may disagree with me, so here are some things that actually seem like a fun way to spend a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve out in Kansas City.

High or dry? Staying sober on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

By Leanne Italie Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jennifer Perry isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a drinker. Never has been, yet sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready every New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve for the inevitable attention when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out trying to have a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if everyone at the table orders a drink but me. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine,â&#x20AC;? said Perry, 46, a singer in Atlanta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do resent is being pressured, and then being asked is it a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;religious thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or if I have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;problem.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Sometimes, she relies on: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, thank you, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still on methadone.â&#x20AC;?

While not true, a quick apology usually ensues and the pesky prober moves along.

Whether in recovery or not interested for other reasons, the holidays often mean an excess of booze and drugs. Occasional drinkers fail to moderate, and addiction programs around the country note upticks in patient loads soon after the new year, high season for relapsers and those seeking treatment for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alcohol is often center stage at holiday parties,â&#x20AC;? said Amara Durham, a spokeswoman for Caron Texas, a treatment facility in Princeton, Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people think they need alcohol to enjoy social occasions such as holiday celebrations.â&#x20AC;?

Gina Bestenlehner, who is 12 years sober and program director for the Pur Detox center in Dana Point, Calif., suggests bringing along a sobriety buddy to

help stay focused. She also recommends volunteering as a designated driver, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;gives a person new purpose and a reason to be there sober. It also saves lives.â&#x20AC;?

Exhibit asks artists to pack for a new age

ARTS NOTE

Miss Universe says win shows confidence is all

How and what does one pack for beginning a journey into â&#x20AC;&#x201D; according to the ancient Mayan timekeepers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new 26,000-year cycle?

A new art exhibit at the Percolator Artspace, 913 Rhode Island St., aims to explore the question and celebrate the new age.

The Percolator asked artists, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you willing to let go of, and what do you want to bring with you into the new year and the new age?â&#x20AC;?

The resulting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baggage Show,â&#x20AC;? which opened last week, will be on display through Jan. 20. It will be open for an event during this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Fridays, from 5-9 p.m. Friday, at the Percolator.

LAS VEGAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The 20-year-old Rhode Islander who brought the Miss Universe crown back to the U.S. for the first time in 15 years is hoping that her quick rise through the beauty contest ranks and an onstage stumble will show women that anything is possible.

Perched high above the Las Vegas Strip in the Planet Hollywood winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suite Thursday, Olivia Culpo told The Associated Press that her yearlong transformation from Boston University sophomore to pageant winner proves that women can accomplish anything to which they set their minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first pageant was

a year ago and already Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Miss Universe.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of incredible,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She pointed to the Culpo fact that she stumbled on her red velvet evening dress Wednesday night before beating out beauty queens from 88 countries as proof that confidence and poise matter more than perfect performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the fact that I tripped last night in my evening gown. I think that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you learn from it: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step on your dress,â&#x20AC;? she added with a laugh.

ery and alone on them,â&#x20AC;? said Nasreen Stump, a fundraiser for the center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In three years our attendance at these events has almost quadrupled.â&#x20AC;?

In Jersey Shore, Pa., Mary Baier is a non-drinker who will likely stay home with her husband this year for New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. In the past, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left parties right after midnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of hard to have a good time once people get drunk,â&#x20AC;? she said.

On a table sits a pencil sharpener that looks more like a microscope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even terribly functional,â&#x20AC;? he chuckles during a visit Sarah Kraus, earlier this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of student, a pencil sharpener cubed.â&#x20AC;?

Allen, Texas At 79, Sacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyesight is â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bastard out of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (by fading, as he chronicled in Dorothy Allison). I thought his 2010 book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the writing was really good.â&#x20AC;? Eye.â&#x20AC;? But his curiosity and empathy, immortalized in the 1990 Robert De NiroRobin Williams movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awakenings,â&#x20AC;? remains unquenched. His new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallucinationsâ&#x20AC;? (Knopf, $26.95), seeks to destigmatize the experiences of

those who see what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. Much like his famous collection â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallucinationsâ&#x20AC;? mixes case studies of Sacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patients and acquaintances with scientific history and philosophy.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big curveball. In the liveliest section, a mini-masterpiece of descriptive writing, Sacks dives into his own chemical experimentation.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to sync the popular perception of the kindly graybeard doctor with a past of voracious drug consumption, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we get in the sixth chapter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallucinations,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Altered States.â&#x20AC;? Here we encounter young Dr. Sacks, doing his residency at UCLA, guided by medical interest and the 1960s California zeitgeist. As he writes in the book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would never really know what hallucinogenic drugs were like unless I tried them.â&#x20AC;?

And try them he did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first pot experience was marked by a mix of the neurological and the divine,â&#x20AC;? he writes. Then he moved on to bigger game. A heaping dose of Artane, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a synthetic drug allied with belladonna,â&#x20AC;? led to a lengthy

IN THIS 2007 PHOTO provided by the BBC, neurologist Oliver Sacks holds a model of a human brain. Sacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book delves into the topic of hallucinations. philosophical conversation with a spider. He snagged some morphine from his physician parents, injected, and watched the 15thcentury armies of England and France do battle on the sleeve of his dressing gown.

There were less fanciful experiences as well: a severe case of post-sedative delirium tremens led to horrific visions on a city bus: â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś All the passengers on the bus seemed to have smooth white heads like giant eggs, with huge glittering eyes like the faceted compound eyes on insects,â&#x20AC;? he writes.

Today, Sacks looks back on his wilder days with mixed feelings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One has paranoid bad trips of all sorts, although mostly I found them enjoyable and sometimes instructive,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend them to anyone, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that I had them.

Maybe I learned something, maybe I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Forty years later it took a little persuasion to get me talking about them.â&#x20AC;?

Sacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands-on experiments are the most eyecatching parts of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallucinations.â&#x20AC;? The rest of the book offers up a variety of more sober hallucinatory experiences and conditions, from Charles Bonnet syndrome, which causes elaborate hallucinations among visually impaired or fully blind people, to migraine headaches, which Sacks has suffered throughout his life. Migraines are actually the subject of Sacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1970 literary debut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Migraine.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still visited by fairly often,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually I only have visual hallucinations, patterns that can be very intricate and fascinating and rapidly changing. Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an olfactory one.

Occasionally Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a musical one.â&#x20AC;?

Musical hallucinations?

You bet. Actually, these arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always for the ear only. Some Charles Bonnet patients, especially those with musical inclinations, hallucinate intricate patterns of musical notes, as if written on a white sheet of paper.

Retired KU professor pens murder mystery

The murder mystery â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing in Okarayguaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;o-kaw-ryegwah,â&#x20AC;? and make sure to trill that â&#x20AC;&#x153;r,â&#x20AC;? Levine says â&#x20AC;&#x201D; follows Inspector Irronogaray, an honest cop in a corrupt, fictional South American country. Irronogaray is pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;e-ron-uh-gah-rye,â&#x20AC;? and make sure to trill those â&#x20AC;&#x153;râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? too.

Rachel Moore, Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspector freelance editor, treads a dangerous tightLawson, Mo. rope as he investigates a â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dodgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (by Terry murder in the high echPratchett).

Inspector Irronogaray â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it may be that you took one of his classes at KU, where he taught from 1958-92, mostly in the American studies department, which he also founded.

A professor emeritus of English, Harvard-educated Levine is not solely an academic. He has performed as principal French horn in the Lawrence Symphony Orchestra and played in the Steve Himes, Lawrence City Band and teacher, the CottonWood Winds.

Kansas City, Mo. He still plays gigs with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nate Silversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The the Lawrence Woodwind Signal and the Noise.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quintet. wonkiness dumbed down During his three defor people like me.â&#x20AC;?

cades at KU, Levine taught as a visiting or exchange professor at schools including Kansas State University and the University of Wisconsin to institutions in Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico and Chile.

He met his wife, S u s a n , during an intensive Spanish language course he took to prepare for visiting Latin America.

S u s a n taught the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a lovely 23-year-old grad student.

It was absolutely untrue I dated her to get better grades in the class,â&#x20AC;? he recalls, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been energetic,â&#x20AC;? says his youngest son, Al Levine, 46, also a Lawrence resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a little kid, I remember there was not a lot of sitting around. We were always biking or fishing.

We used to do family bike rides from Lawrence to Baldwin.â&#x20AC;?

On more extensive trips to Latin America where his parents went on U.S. government Fulbright scholarships and sabbaticals, the younger Levine remembers his parents often leaving the beaten path.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to our share of ruins,â&#x20AC;? Al Levine says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we also went to local boxing matches. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t into traditional touristy things. They were more into experiencing the country and becoming part of the local population.â&#x20AC;?

Stuart L e v i n e serves up generous portions of that experience in his new novel.

He decided to take â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing in Okarayguaâ&#x20AC;? straight to the readers after a disappointing experience with traditional publishers.

One publisher promised to respond to Levine

about his manuscript in eight weeks, but after eight months passed, Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger son suggested bypassing traditional publishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted people to read the book,â&#x20AC;? says Stuart, whose short fiction has been accepted by editors for literary journals such as the Chicago Review, Short Story, The Distillery and others.

Levine and his wife are both highly regarded scholars on Edgar Allan Poe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considered to be the creator of the modern mystery novel. Their books, papers and annotated editions of Poeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works have also been traditionally published.

With his younger sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, Levine published â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing in Okarayguaâ&#x20AC;? as an e-book on Amazon.com.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in paperback through the Jayhawk Book Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s print-on-demand program.

The Jayhawk Book Store, 1420 Crescent Road, carries Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, as does the Raven Book Store, 8 E. Seventh St. The novel has garnered good reviews since publication in September. One Amazon.com reviewer, author Ashley Adams, calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś wonderful and delightful surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuart Levine. . . has spun a tale of such richness, humor, quirkiness, and depth that I found myself fully engrossed from the start.â&#x20AC;?

Though retired from teaching, Levine plans to step up to the lectern at least once more for a public reading and booksigning 7 p.m. Jan. 24 at, appropriately enough for a Poe scholar, The Raven.

Meanwhile, Levine, never one to sit still, is already at work on the next Inspector Irronogaray mystery.

Study: Solo stars at higher risk of death than bands

By Jill Lawless Associated Press

LONDON — Rock ‘n’ roll will never die — but it’s a hazardous occupation.

An academic study published Thursday confirms that rock and pop musicians are more likely to die prematurely than the general population, and finds that solo artists are twice as likely to die young as members of bands.

Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and Britain’s Health Department studied 1,489 rock, pop, punk, R&B, rap, electronica and New Age stars who became famous between 1956 and 2006 — from Elvis Presley to the Arctic Monkeys.

They found that 137 of the stars, or 9.2 percent, had died, representing “higher levels of mortality than demographically matched individuals in the general population.”

The researchers dismissed the “fanciful but

A new study confirms that rock and pop musicians more often die prematurely than the general population, and an early death is twice as likely for solo musicians, such as Amy Winehouse, pictured above, than for members of bands. unsubstantiated” popular myth that rock stars tend to die at 27 — as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse all did.

The average age of death was 45.2 years for North American stars and 39.6 for European ones.

twice the death risk of members of bands. Lead researcher Mark Bellis speculated that could be because bands provide peer support at stressful times.

“Solo artists, even though they have huge followings, may be relatively isolated,” said Bellis, di-

could include longer careers — and thus longer exposure to rock ‘n’ roll excess — in the U.S., a huge, populous country with greater opportunities for aging stars to stay on the road. Europe’s stronger social safety net and socialized medicine may also play a role, he said.

The research, which updates a 2007 study by the same team, was published in the online journal BMJ Open.

The study suggests the infamous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle may not be entirely to blame for rock stars’ death risk.

The researchers looked for the first time at the role of “adverse childhood experiences” — such as physical or sexual abuse — on stars’ later behavior.

They found that performers who had at least one adverse childhood experience were more likely to die from drug and alcohol use or “risk-related causes.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The boys from “Newsies” now have one more thing to dance about — they’ve made their money back.

Disney Theatrical Productions said Thursday that the musical recouped its $5 million investment in just over nine months — faster than any other Disney stage property.

The profitability of “Newsies” adds to Disney’s high success rate on Broadway. The entertainment giant has had now five hits — including “The Lion King” and “Mary Poppins” — from seven Broadway shows it has produced, way above the 3-in-10 average recoupment of most Broadway shows.

“Newsies” is based on the 1899 true story of child newspaper sellers in turn-of-the-century New York who go on strike. A 1992 film, starring Christian Bale, Bill Pullman, Robert Duvall and AnnMargret, did poorly at the box office but has become something of a cult hit.

Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Jack Feldman, who were responsible for the film score, teamed up again to transform “Newsies” into a musical for the stage, reworking the songs and collaborating with the new story writer, Harvey Fierstein, known for his work in “Hairspray,” ‘‘La Cage aux Folles” and “Torch Song Trilogy.”

The new musical retains the memorable songs “Santa Fe,” ‘‘The World Will Know,” ‘‘Carrying the Banner,” ‘‘Seize the Day” and “King of New York,” but adds a young female reporter to the story and plenty of muscular, highimpact dancing.

The show had a critically acclaimed debut in September 2011 at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, N.J., and opened on Broadway in March at the Nederlander Theatre, where it won Tony Awards for best score and choreography.

So far, nearly 400,000 people have seen the show in its 41 weeks of performances.

rector of the Center for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University.

Music critic John Aizlewood agreed that solo artists receive more attention and adulation — and also more pressure.

“And when you are a solo act, irrespective of what they say in interviews, it’s an incredibly egotistical thing,” he said.

“So you tend to be dealing with people who are more emotionally extreme.

“They have an ego in the way a drummer or even a lead guitarist in a band doesn’t.”

In good news for aging rockers, the study found that, after 25 years of fame, stars’ death rates began to return to normal — at least in Europe. A European star still living 36 years after achieving fame faces a similar mortality rate to the European public. But U.S. artists continue to die in greater numbers.

A high-tech look at national parks Few of us associate the National Park Service with high tech. If anything, the parks are places to go off the beaten path and escape the wired world. But “X-Ray Yellowstone” (8 p.m. Sunday, Discovery), a new installment of “Curiosity,” looks at Old Faithful and other park attractions in a whole new light, employing brand-new imaging systems and scientific research to explore the park’s many wonders and examine ominous trends that threaten its wild inhabitants and even its very existence.

Chief among the unseen dangers is the giant super-volcano located right beneath Yellowstone.

It is linked to geothermal activity that results in remarkable geysers, attracting visitors. But it’s also overdue for an eruption, an explosive event that would herald destruction well beyond the park’s boundaries.

ABC trifles with tradition, moving its holiday broadcast of the 1965 musical “The Sound of Music” (6 p.m. Sunday) from its rightful place the night after Christmas. As such, it was the perfect movie for the weary couch potato to enjoy with family and Christmas company. (Or the perfect escape from them.)

Refreshingly chaste by today’s standards, “Sound” is not without its own sex appeal. I’ve known many women, including my wife, who harbored a crush on Christopher Plummer’s Captain von Trapp, and who freely admit to melting a little when he picks up the guitar and sings “Edelweiss.”

Sunday’s holiday highlights

“Crazy for Christmas” (6 p.m., Lifetime).

“Christmas With the Kranks” (7 p.m., FX).

“The Bishop’s Wife” (7 p.m., TCM).

“The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

“All She Wants for Christmas” (7 p.m., Lifetime Movie Network).

“Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special” (8 p.m., Comedy Central).

“Anything but Christmas” (8 p.m., ION).

“The Case for Christmas” (9 p.m., Hallmark).

Sunday’s other highlights

Repeat segments scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): profiles of Adele, Rodriguez and Taylor Swift.

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

The gals plan a road trip to sites central to the history of American polygamy on “Sister Wives” (8 p.m., TLC).

sex elsewhere. Whenever that complaint pops up, everyone makes suggestions, usually for the woman to seek medical attention.

Well, I’ve done that.

Every male doctor I asked just laughed and suggested that maybe a “boyfriend” could turn me on. It is demeaning.

I love my husband and have no intention of cheating. The problem is, no male anywhere “turns me on.” The female doctors I saw tested my hormones, suggested upping my testosterone (which didn’t help), or shrugged and said I’d have to wait for a female Viagra.

Nothing helps the frustrated women who wish we could get back our desire. It’s time someone found a solution for us, and then we’d feel sexy enough to entice our men so they wouldn’t look for pills or affairs. I know I’m not

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Dec. 23: This year you often represent the best of your sign, and also the worst of your sign. For instance, you endure unceasingly, yet you can’t seem to let go and enjoy yourself.

If you are single, you could meet someone who makes you want to change your status. If you are attached, together you will have a case of spring fever!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Many of you might question the materialism of this holiday, yet you enjoy all of the hoopla. Don’t be unduly hard on yourself right now. Tonight: Back in the saddle.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A partner challenges you, yet the reason is debatable. Touch base with relatives and friends at a distance. Tonight: Use your charisma.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Know what is going on behind the scenes. Fatigue could affect your perspective. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Enjoy the moment and all the people around you. You could have a lot of ground to cover.

Tonight: Let go, and enjoy the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Pressure builds, and your mood reflects your stress level. Find a few moments alone to ground yourself. Tonight: Help an older friend or relative.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep reaching out to a friend at a distance. This person appreciates your thoughtfulness.

alone. That doesn’t solve the problem, but it helps to know many of us are in the same boat. — Ormond Beach, Fla. Dear Ormond Beach: We are surprised that any doctor would brush off your complaint with such frivolity. Perhaps some doctors are reluctant to discuss women’s sexual issues, but lack of libido is a serious problem for many women, and they deserve a doctor who not only understands the issue, but is willing to treat it appropriately. Of course, there is as yet no miracle drug that will bring back your libido, although we suspect researchers are hard at work on it. It’s too lucrative a market to ignore.
