Knox was elected to the Kansas Senate in November and will take that position in January.

During the last legislative

session, Knox pushed a bill that would allow concealedcarry permit holders to take their weapons into public buildings, such as university classrooms, dorms, city halls and other such structures if

those buildings didn’t have devices such as metal detectors designed to detect illegal weapons.

member the old “Wild Kingdom” scenes featuring a hungry lion and a little gazelle? I won’t be the lion.

None of it bothers Copt, though. For one, he knows how to flick his wrist. He can make a drop of paint land just about anywhere he wants it to. But more than that, he’s willing to take the risk because he knows what the return can be from a good painting — and he’s not just talking about the $900 to $5,000 prices that most of his larger pieces command.

“With a paintbrush and blank piece of paper, you can control the world,” Copt says.

And there is always a world to paint. Copt has about 30,000 photos, most taken from the back roads of Douglas and Jefferson counties. Today, he flips through several winter scenes.

Oh to be a fly on the wall behind the closed doors of Gov. Sam Brownback’s office during the final week of a contentious legislative session.

What the governor says in private — let alone what he thinks about the session — likely will remain a gubernatorial mystery.

But aside from his public comments, there is an electronic trail in the form of emails and text messages the governor sent and received during the week.

Whether the public will get a peek at that trail, however, is unclear, following an Brownback unresolved Kansas Open Records Act request filed by the JournalWorld this summer.

On June 20, the JournalWorld filed a request with the governor’s office for all emails and text messages sent from and received by Brownback’s state email account and state-issued cellphone between May 14 and May 20, the week of the state legislative wrap-up session.

That request was originally denied, as a spokeswoman for Brownback said the governor had neither a state email account or state cellphone.

“The governor does have a personal phone. However, he relies on staff for official communications,” said Sherriene Jones-Sontag, a Brownback spokeswoman.

The Journal-World then amended the request to include emails or text messages

ARTIST LOUIS COPT WORKS ON A PAINTING NOV. 23 IN HIS HOLIDAY GALLERY at 800 Massachusetts St. in downtown Lawrence. Copt, who almost 30 years ago quit his day job to study to become an artist, says we may all benefit if we picked up our paintbrush again. “I think people would be more relaxed if they painted more,” Copt says.

his is why adults don’t do this.

I’m with longtime Lawrence artist Louis Copt trying to learn how to paint watercolors, which, if you think about it, isn’t a very adult thing to do. Nearly all of us have painted a picture as a child, but how many adults have ever done so?

This is why: Copt reaches across his work table, grabs a wide brush, dips it generously in a pool of paint, and then starts slinging it. I mean paint flying off the brush, floating through the air, controlled only by how Copt flicks his wrist.

Good grief, man. You want me to do this in my house?

Copt says.

He notes that great men such as Eisenhower and Churchill were painters.

The point is clear: If we ever invade Europe again, an artist should lead the charge.

Well, maybe that isn’t the point. Maybe the point is that a little art can help a good mind become great, a content mind become curious, or perhaps most importantly, a closed mind become open. “I feel like the mind of an artist really is open to change,� Copt says. “An artist can see left and right. An artist can help guide other people to see the world differently.�

In today’s world, maybe we all could benefit from finding that paintbrush of our youth.

Maybe. But if I sling paint inside my house, I’m still pretty sure it’s going to end like my kindergarten art project — with a paintbrush stuck up my nose.

LOTTERY licenses are extremely law abiding.

In fiscal year 2011, which ran from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, the attorney general’s office issued 8,295 concealedcarry licenses.

During that same year, 25 applications were denied, 39 concealed-carry licenses were suspended and 127 licenses were revoked.

Eighteen of the 25 applications denied were rejected because of disqualifying criminal history or the applicant was subject to a protection from abuse order.

The 39 license suspensions occurred because the license holder was charged with a crime, including seven that were assault with a firearm.

Of the 127 license revocations, most were revoked because the licensee moved out of state, but some were revoked because of criminal convictions, including sex and drug crimes.

Officials at University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses have set up “gun dorms� for students with concealedcarry permits, but no one has asked to live in one. Gun rights advocates say that is probably because students who carry concealed weapons don’t want to move. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Christmas the old-fashioned way on display in parade

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

Costumed horses and wagons traveled from as far as Oklahoma and South Dakota for Saturday’s 20th annual Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade, and spectators likewise came from miles around to see it. One of few horse-drawn parades in the Midwest, it drew 113 official participants this year, meaning more than a thousand riders paraded down Massachusetts Street. The parade is managed by a nonprofit organization and supported by local businesses.

With so much to see, some spectators have learned where the best seats in the house are. Zoann McConchie, of Kansas City, Mo., found a spot on Seventh Street where the parade stopped for traffic on its way downtown. With the parade slowed, she had a better opportunity to see everything and even talk with the riders.

Ugly Sweater Run celebrates the best of the worst-dressed

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

They aren’t kidding when they call it the Ugly Sweater Run. Among the specimens on display in Watson Park on Saturday, in a crowd of 2,500 runners, were some sweaters seemingly designed to offend: pink with green gingerbread houses, white with pink flamingos, rainbow stripes, and standard red and green. Neal Ballard, of Lawrence, wore a green Looney Tunes sweater that he purchased just for the 5K. He did not accept one of the free fake moustaches offered at registration, though many did. Queuing up for the run with a cup of cider in his hand, Ballard said he wasn’t interested in coming in first place.

“It’s all about shopping for the ugly sweater,” he joked. But it was also, he said, about having fun and supporting a good cause. As part of the event, runners were encouraged to bring gifts for Douglas County Toys for Tots. At least 1,000 toys were collected, said Jenna Velardi, a spokeswoman for Human Movement, an event-planning agency staffing Saturday’s run.

Admission is free for the last Lawrence Farmers’ Market event of the year, where more than 50 local farmers and ranchers will offer holiday items such as gifts, wreaths and homemade crafts, as well as produce. Specialty meats such as emu and elk will be on sale alongside spinach, sweet potatoes and squash. Extra parking will be available in the Lawrence school district administration building north of the Holiday Inn. Many vendors will accept credit and debit cards, and visitors will also be able to electronically purchase market tokens similar to wooden nickels, which they can use as cash.

TOPEKA — A small group of Kansas legislators hasn’t stopped campaigning nearly four weeks after the state’s general election because Republican lawmakers are picking new, conservative leaders for the House and Senate.

Legislators are scheduled to convene Monday for party caucuses and for the first time in 12 years, the Senate president, the House speaker and the majority leaders in both chambers will be replaced. Republicans will fill all those positions, having retained majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House.

But the Legislature will lean more to the political right overall, something that’s likely to help conservative Republican Gov. Sam Brownback as he and lawmakers address a projected budget shortfall, discuss the follow-up to massive income tax cuts this year and tackle other issues. The House went into this year’s elections with a conservative Republican majority, but Speaker Mike O’Neal of Hutchinson didn’t seek re-election to the Legislature and is now the chief executive officer of the powerful Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

The change in the Senate will be even more dramatic.

It had been controlled by GOP moderates who worked O’Neal with Democrats to stall some Brownback initiatives, but conservatives ousted eight of them in the August primary, including outgoing President Steve Morris of Hugoton.

In the Senate, Susan Wagle of Wichita and Steve Abrams of Arkansas City are running for president. In the House, Morris the contest for speaker is among three lawmakers from the Kansas City suburbs in southern Johnson County — Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid and Judiciary Committee Chairman Lance Kinzer of Olathe and former Majority Leader Ray Merrick of Stilwell. All of the candidates in both chambers are Brownback allies, and conservatives generally are looking forward to Brownback’s agenda facing less resistance, particularly in the Senate.

“We are the dog that caught the car,” said Sen. Terry Bruce, a conservative Hutchinson Republican who’s the only declared candidate for Senate majority leader.

Because the House speaker and Senate president are mentioned in the state constitution, Republicans’ selections must be ratified by each chamber once the Legislature convenes its 2013 session Jan. 14, but that’s traditionally a formality. House leaders will hold their jobs for 2013 and 2014, but Senate leaders will retain them through 2016.

Democrats are picking each chamber’s minority leaders, but the incumbents, Sen. Anthony Hensley of Topeka and Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence, don’t have any declared opponents.

“We are so pleased to welcome Mike Countryman to the company and the Lawrence community,” said Suzanne Schlicht, chief operating officer of The World Company. “Mike’s enthusiasm and focus on customers are contagious. He will undoubtedly lead us to an increased and keen focus on serving our thousands of customers who subscribe or purchase single editions of the Journal-World.”

Countryman said delivering high-quality customer service to readers of the Journal-World and The World Company’s area weekly newspapers will be a top priority, while also increasing the visibility of the printed newspaper in the community.

“I can tell you that there are still a lot of people who want to read the printed paper,” Countryman said. “I wish I could remember who said it, but think about if

it was the Internet that came first and the printed newspaper was the new product. People would be like, ‘Wow, this is great. You can roll it up and take it anywhere.’”

Countryman — who before entering the newspaper business had an eight-year career in the Navy — said he is looking forward to returning to the area. Countryman’s wife, Cory, is from the Kansas City area, and he said the chance to bring her and their two children, 8 and 12, closer to family was appealing.

Plus, Countryman, 46, said he is excited to work in a community that is poised to support a growing newspaper.

“I think the opportunity to grow our circulation is certainly here,” Countryman said. “We’re approaching this as a situation where we have to go out and earn our customers’ trust every day, and we will do that.”

Leaders CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Meanwhile, Republicans vying for leadership positions have been phoning their GOP colleagues and traveling the state for one-on-one meetings.

GOP lawmakers in both chambers were having gatherings this evening in Topeka for a last round of receptions and politicking before Monday’s voting.

Brownback said this week that he’s staying out of Kyle Sabatini, leadership contests. nursing student, The candidates for Topeka House majority leader “Absolutely. I went on a run are Appropriations Comoutside earlier today.� mittee Chairman Marc Rhoades of Newton and Speaker Pro Tem Jene Vickrey of Louisburg.

In the Senate president’s race, Wagle is promoting her experience.

She’s been a legislator for 22 years, having served a decade in the House before winning her Senate seat in 2000. She’s wooed newly elected senators and is promising openness in communicating with fellow Republicans.

Danielle Kuntzsch, Wagle said senators and educator, senators-elect want to reLawrence solve the state’s budget “Yes because I’m from problems and create jobs New Orleans, and it “as Republicans.� makes me feel closer to “People want to work home.� together,� she said.

But Wagle’s career also has been marked by her willingness to buck moderate GOP leaders through high-profile legislative investigations.

In 2000, as chairwoman of the House Taxation Committee, she investigated then-Attorney General Carla Stovall’s hiring of her former law firm to work on litigation against tobacco companies. In 2003, Wagle publicly criticized a Kansas University Derrick Reed, professor over the content Olathe, of his human sexuality cook courses, and last year, the “Yes. It’s a convenient truth.�

CEO of the Kansas Bioscience Authority resigned after she questioned the agency’s operations.

Abrams was elected to the Senate in 2008, but he’s a former Kansas Republican Party chairman who served on the State Board of Education for 14 years before winning his legislative seat. As a state school board member, he twice was part of conservative majorities that approved science standards demonstrating skepticism about evolution; each time, the state reverted to evolution-friendly guidelines.

Abrams touts his work on political redistricting this year but also believes his experience with education policy is important, given likely debates over school funding and proposals for giving parents more choice in where their children attend school. “I’m looking forward to working with a much more conservative Senate,� Abrams said.

In the House, Siegfreid has been majority leader for the past two years, after Merrick held the job for four years. Merrick received a midterm appointment to the Senate late in 2010 but decided this year to run for the House again, intending from the start to seek the speaker’s job.

Kinzer is an anti-abortion leader.

But Kinzer said, “From a policy perspective, any differentiation is on the margins.�

Siegfreid agreed and, like Kinzer, said he’s committed to giving all House members a role in setting policy. That’s emerged as a concern because the House will have 40 Republicans who haven’t served in the Legislature previously. “Everyone needs to have a voice,� Siegfreid said. “We have an eclectic state.�

Cuteness streams from Humane Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitty Cam

A CURIOUS UGLY SWEATER RUN PARTICIPANT passes by during the route along Tennessee Street on Saturday. AT RIGHT, Samantha Gamble, of Odessa, Mo., left, Melanie WeinsKind, of Lawrence, and Stephanie Snodgrass, of Overland Park, stand for a group picture before a giant inflatable Santa Claus in Watson Park after the Ugly Sweater Run.

distract you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be working.

The kitty cam made its online debut Nov. 1, featuring the newest and fluffiest reality show stars.

The cam is a first for the shelter, which adopts out dogs, cats and small animals such as bunnies, gerbils and hamsters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually had a donor come in who was really interested in the idea,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Houston, a communications specialist for the shelter.

The cam is on 24/7 on the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at kshumane.org/kittycam. htm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At night, it goes into night vision mode. You can still see the cats playing around and everything,â&#x20AC;? Houston said.

Viewers can take turns being in control of the camera for two minutes at a time and can view for up to four or five minutes.

The camera is in the corner of the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitty city,â&#x20AC;? just inside the shelter and across from the front desk. The camera also captures the lobby and reception area, the

small animals and a few of the dog adoption areas.

Houston said Wednesday that the kitty cam had enjoyed 6,900 views from people who watched for at least 90 seconds.

Greg Fox of Realty World bought the equipment and is paying for online hosting of the kitty cam.

His daughter, he said, is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big cat and dog lover.â&#x20AC;?

About two years ago, the community involvement committee of the Wichita Area Association of Realtors, of which Fox is a former chairman, became involved with Woofstock, one of the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major annual fundraisers.

Fox had wanted to do something for the shelter, and he admits it helps give his business exposure.

Fox said he pays a hosting fee for the kitty cam and spent about $1,500 for the camera itself and $300 to $400 to have it installed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have such an absolutely beautiful humane society to show off,â&#x20AC;? he said.

and how old the horses are,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learn a lot, and even go home and read more about them.â&#x20AC;?

The most audible reaction from the crowd came when Nancy McConnell, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., rode through on a small carriage pulled by Angel, a miniature Sicilian donkey who stands less than three feet tall at the shoulder.

McConnell said she took the 7-year-old donkey to many parades, but this one in Lawrence was her favorite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best organized and the most fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just friendly.â&#x20AC;?

Angel was a favorite of

Tucker Corbin, 7, of Lawrence. His grandmother Robin Corbin said he had worried the donkey was pulling too much weight, but she managed just fine.

Some of the parade riders brought wagons and costumes of a historical period, such as the Nicodemus Buffalo Soldiers from Plainville, or the Commanding General Color Guard from Fort Riley.

Others decorated themselves in Christmas gear, including Santa Claus himself, who came last, clinging to the back of a wagon piled high with presents.

And not surprisingly, with hundreds of horses passing through downtown, the parade was completed with a city street cleaner trailing behind at a safe distance.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather was friendly to those out for activities like the Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade or the Ugly Sweater Run, and today is likely to be even better. It might even break a record for early-December warmth in the area, said Brian Barjenbruch, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Topeka.

After reaching a low temperature of about 40 degrees late Saturday night, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast calls for a high of 71, which would break the all-time record for a Dec. 2 high temperature measured by the Topeka station. The record, set in 1917, stands at 70 degrees. Tonight is likely to be warm, too, and windy, with lows in the mid-50s and south winds gusting up to 30 mph after midnight.

A cold front is expected to move in late Monday afternoon, pushing a 20 percent chance of light showers ahead of it and bringing cooler temperatures, with lows in the upper 30s overnight. Any opportunity for rain will probably have passed by Tuesday, which should be mostly clear with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. streets and back, but that was only a part of the festivities, which included complimentary beers, holiday music, funnel cakes, snow machines, and an ugly sweater contest.

Like the 5K, the contest drew participants from several cities in Kansas and even out of state.

Lighting displays can be nightmare for neighbors SPRINGFIELD, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Massive Christmas lighting displays might impress many holiday visitors across the region, but they often raise the ire of neighbors fighting for their right to peace and quiet and unfettered access to their homes.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a battle that has been waged every winter for decades as communities try to balance the desires of those who create large displays, those whose annual holiday treks include the brightly lit arrangements and people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with strangers traipsing on their laws and clogging local streets for the better part of a month.

Sometimes the neighbors win out, like in Prairie Village, Kan., where the City Council enacted restrictions, including more than $500 in fees, that prompted a man known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Christmasâ&#x20AC;? to unplug an elaborate display that started 44 years ago with a few strands of lights on his house.

At other times, angry neighbors are told by city officials they will look into complaints but the displays are allowed to continue.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case in Springfield, Mo., where a local manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive display causes traffic to back up for blocks as visitors slow to see the lights and listen to Christmas carols played over a radio station are synced up to the display.

Springfield resident Joan Cologna told the Springfield News-Leader that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come off as a Scrooge, but

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ILLUMINATE Mike Bagwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house on Wednesday in Springfield, Mo. The light display, which is made up of more than 100,000 lights and synced to music, has caused traffic problems in the neighborhood. she thinks a huge display about half a mile from her house is a nightmare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned into a traffic hazard, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night after night after night,â&#x20AC;? Cologna said.

She said that she has nothing against Christmas lights but that the display commonly known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bagwell Lightsâ&#x20AC;? has outgrown the neighborhood.

Cologna said backed-up traffic around the display creates a â&#x20AC;&#x153;standoffâ&#x20AC;? that prompts some drivers to speed by in the wrong lane to pass the line, while others get annoyed when she tries to pass the line herself to get home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let us in or out because they think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re line cutters,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She said neither she nor her husband has approached the Bagwells directly.

Henry Bagwell said his son, Michael, puts up most of the lights for the display. He acknowledged

the display causes congestion but said the response from visitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; makes it worthwhile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see the looks on their face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A city spokeswoman acknowledged receipt of the Cologna letter and said the city was evaluating whether any action needs to be taken. Legally, spokeswoman Cora Scott said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with the display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city does not have any specific regulations regarding the public decor,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that officials had received no other recent complaints about the Bagwell display.

House, Senate sit on tax bills the other passed

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It may not sound like it from the rhetoric, but both the House and Senate already have passed separate bills to delay big tax increases awaiting nearly every taxpayer next year if Congress and the White House canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on a plan to avert the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;?

The Democratic-controlled Senate passed a bill in July that would extend many of the expiring George W. Bush-era tax cuts for middle-income families, while letting taxes go up for individuals who make more than $200,000 and married couples making more than $250,000.

The Republican-led House passed a bill in August that would extend the tax cuts for just about everyone.

Republican leaders in Congress say they are willing to accept higher taxes on the wealthy, but only by reducing or eliminating credits, deductions and exemptions. They adamantly oppose higher tax rates, which Democratic leaders are demanding.

Leaders from each party said their bill should be the starting point for finding a solution in the next few weeks. Both bills would extend tax cuts through next year. The Senate bill would save taxpayers about $250 billion, according to congressional estimates. The House bill would save taxpayers about $400 billion.

A look at the specifics of each bill:

Tax rates Senate: Extends the Bush tax cuts for middleand low-income families, while letting the top two income tax rates increase from 33 percent to 36 percent and from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The 33 percent rate would be applied to income above

$200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly.

The top tax rate is applied to incomes above about $390,000.

House: Extends all the Bush tax rates through 2013, for wealthy, middleincome and low-income families.

Investment income Senate: Raises the top tax rate on capital gains and qualified dividends from 15 percent to 20 percent.

House: Keeps the top tax rate on capital gains and qualified dividends at 15 percent.

Payroll tax Neither bill addressed the payroll tax cut, which reduced the Social Security payroll tax paid by workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent in 2011 and 2012. If the tax cut expires, a typical worker making $50,000 in wages would get a $1,000 tax increase next year.

Earned Income Tax Credit Both bills extend a more generous credit first enacted under Bush. The EITC provides tax credits to low-income families based on their income and number of children.

The credits are available as payments to many families that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make enough money to owe federal income taxes.

Senate: Extends a 2009 provision that makes the credit more generous for families with three or more children.

Education tax breaks Both bills extend more generous tax deductions for interest on student loans and exemptions for employer-provided educational assistance.

EGYPT

President sets date for constitution vote

By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi called Saturday for a referendum in two weeks on a contentious draft constitution, setting a date for another milestone in the country’s transition to democracy.

Widespread disputes over the charter and Morsi’s recent seizure of near absolute power have marred the process and thrown the country into turmoil.

As has been the case in nearly two years since Hosni Mubarak was ousted, what should have been a cause for national celebration turned into dueling protests between opponents and supporters of how the transition has been managed — largely divided along Islamist and secular lines.

More than 100,000 Morsi supporters organized by the Muslim Brotherhood and ultraconservative Salafi groups took to the streets of Cairo and other cities a day after a massive opposition demonstration against his recent decrees giving him immunity from judicial oversight and the charter that was rushed through an assembly packed with allies.

PEOPLE WAVE EGYPTIAN FLAGS AND HOLD A LARGE POSTER with the portrait of President Mohammed Morsi, center, during a rally Saturday near Cairo University in Cairo. More than 100,000 Islamists waved Egyptian flags and hoisted portraits of Morsi in rallies nationwide Saturday to support his efforts to rush through a new draft constitution despite widespread opposition by secular activists and some in the judiciary. locked in a tug of war with the powerful judiciary and secular and Christian activists since Morsi granted himself far-reaching powers on Nov. 22 in a bid to pre-empt an expected decision by the Supreme Constitutional Court today to dissolve the constitutional panel, as it had done the Islamist-led parliament

earlier this year.

Morsi also decreed that courts cannot dissolve the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament, known as the Shura Council — another decision slated to be before the Constitution Court today. In protest, most of the nation’s judges have gone on strike.

It was not clear if Egypt’s

highest court would go ahead with today’s session.

Any move to do so would be a direct challenge to Morsi and could further undermine the charter’s legitimacy. Judges also have threatened to boycott observing the referendum, and the secular opposition promised a civil disobedience campaign.

Police: Instructor fought son in arrow attack CASPER, WYO. (AP) — A Wyoming community college instructor killed in a grisly classroom murdersuicide was hailed as a hero Saturday, with police saying he gave his students time to flee by distracting and fighting off his son after the younger man barged into his computer science class and shot him in the head with a highpowered bow and arrow.

The arrow severely wounded James Krumm, 56, but he managed to wrestle with son Chris-

topher Krumm, 25, of Vernon, Conn., on Friday while the handful of students in the Casper College classroom escaped.

Christopher Krumm had just stabbed to death his father’s live-in girlfriend at the couple’s home two miles away.

When police arrived at the classroom after the bow-and-arrow attack, they found Christopher Krumm bleeding from selfinflicted knife wounds and taking his last breaths.

James Krumm was

dead, Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh said.

Authorities believe “around six” students were in the classroom when Christopher Krumm entered, Casper police spokesman Justin Smith said. No students were hurt.

Walsh said police still were trying to figure out what motivated Christopher Krumm to attack his father and girlfriend, 42-year-old Heidi Arnold, a math instructor at the college. Arnold died of multiple stab wounds.

After shooting his father with the arrow, Christopher Krumm stabbed himself, then fatally stabbed his father in the chest in a struggle in the classroom, Walsh said.

Police began getting reports about the attack on Arnold soon after they responded by the dozen to the campus attack. Authorities locked down the campus for two hours while they scoured the grounds for any other attackers. They were reassured that Christopher Krumm acted alone.

The face of the GOP for much of the last year, the failed presidential candidate has been a virtual ghost since his defeat Nov. 6. He has quietly weathered the fallout of the campaign from the seclusion of his Southern California home, emerging only momentarily for a private lunch at the White House with President Barack Obama on Thursday.

His loss and immediate withdrawal from politics, while welcomed by most, has created a leadership vacuum within his party. It’s left the GOP rudderless, lacking an overarching agenda Romney and mired in infighting, with competing visions for the way ahead, during what may be the most important policy debate in a generation.

In his final meeting with campaign staffers at his Boston headquarters, Romney promised to remain “a strong voice for the party,” according to those in attendance. But so far he has offered little to the Capitol Hill negotiations over potential tax increases and entitlement program changes that could affect virtually every American.

He declined to comment on the Treasury Department’s recent refusal to declare China a currency manipulator, which was one of his signature issues over the past 18 months. He made no public remarks after his meeting with Obama, quickly fading away, again.

“If I had to tell you some-

— Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the Tea Party Express body who is the leader of the party right now, I couldn’t,” said Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the Tea Party Express, which is among the conservative factions vying for increased influence.

“There’s a void right now.”

There’s no shortage of Republicans maneuvering to fill it, from House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio to a number of high-profile politicians looking to boost their national profiles, if not position themselves for a 2016 presidential run. That group could include former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, son and brother of presidents, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Republican officials acknowledge party tensions between the moderate and conservative wings, as well as the tea party and evangelical constituencies. But they dismiss the leadership vacuum as a standard political reality for the losing party in the presidential race. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, never had a strong relationship with the conservative base, given his more moderate past.

Party officials are optimistic that a team of younger and more diverse leaders, drawn from the ranks of governors and Congress, will emerge in the coming months to help strengthen and unify what is now a party grappling with its identity. That list includes Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Nikki Haley of South Carolina.

n the wake of the recent presidential election that showed a wide disparity in candidate preferences among female and minority voters, many Republican leaders expressed the need to increase the diversity of their party.

News out of Washington last week indicates that such a transition may take some time.

As the majority party in the U.S. House, Republicans get to assign the chairmen of all the House committees. On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced the names of those chairmen. All were white men; no women or minorities made the cut.

Only one committee currently is chaired by a woman — Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida — but she is stepping down as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee because of term limits set by party rules. Two lower-tier committees — the Ethics Committee and House Administration — still are awaiting chairs but neither committee has any women or minority members.

Part of the problem is that committee chairs typically are chosen based on their seniority on committees and Republican women and minorities simply aren’t at the top of the seniority ladder.

That’s not surprising given that only 20 Republican women and fewer than 10 minorities will be serving in the House next year. By comparison, Democrats will have 61 women in the House and, for the first time in history, women and minority members will make up a majority the House Democratic Caucus.

The House numbers, along with statistics from the recent presidential race, point to a trend the GOP should carefully examine. Based on exit polls examined by the Pew Research Center, President Obama drew 55 percent of the women’s vote compared with 44 percent for Mitt Romney.

Obama also drew a whopping 93 percent of the black vote and 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, compared with 6 percent and 27 percent, respectively, for Romney.

Those numbers are particularly important because of the fact that combined minorities are expected to make up a majority of the U.S. population by 2050, according to Pew projections.

Certainly, women and minorities shouldn’t be appointed to chair committees if they lack the necessary qualifications or experience, but the fact that the Republican leadership of the House could identify no women or minority representatives to fill any of the chairs shows how much work the party has to do to broaden its gender and racial base.

Susan Rice is wrong choice for State Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot with a campaign to prevent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice from being nominated secretary of state.

The assault on Rice is supposedly due to comments she made just after the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

The GOP just can’t seem to drop its failed preelection plan to create a huge scandal out of the tragedy. But the anti-Rice crusade is not only unseemly; it’s counterproductive.

By rousing President Obama’s ire with a campaign against his friend Rice, Republicans are boxing him in to picking her over the other, better candidate, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry. That’s a shame, because Rice isn’t the right choice for this critical position — for reasons that have nothing to do with the Benghazi attack.

Before I get to those reasons, let me bury the flap over Rice’s minimal role in the Benghazi brouhaha. In appearances on several television talk shows after the attack, she said it was a spontaneous response to a notorious antiMuslim YouTube video. Her remarks were based on talking points she’d been given in an intelligence briefing. She stressed that her information was incomplete pending further investigation.

You might fault Rice for not probing further, since news reports were already alluding to terrorist involvement. She might have done well to recall how Colin

By rousing President Obama’s ire with a campaign against his friend Rice, Republicans are boxing him in to picking her over the other, better candidate, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry.”

Powell was conned by his intel briefers about WMD in Iraq before his infamous 2003 speech at the United Nations. However, her repeat of her briefers’ take on an assault still shrouded in CIA secrecy was hardly a sin.

A far more important issue is whether the U.N. ambassador has the proper temperament and background to succeed Hillary Clinton. It is here that the spotlight should be shone.

No doubt Rice is a highly intelligent woman, with degrees from Stanford and Oxford. But she has established a reputation for brusqueness and bluster that raises real questions about her suitability for the job.

She has riled European diplomats at the United Nations with her public criticism of their positions on Iran negotiations and other issues. She denounced Russian and Chinese vetoes of a Security Council resolution on Syria as “disgusting” and “shameful.” That may well have been true, but such public displays of moral fervor will hardly help America’s top foreign-policy emissary negotiate behind the scenes.

Equally worrying is the lack of heft and breadth in Rice’s experience. During the Clinton administration, she worked on peacekeeping issues at the National Security Council and as assistant secretary of state for Africa. (She famously demanded that U.S. troops be sent to Sudan to prevent a genocide in the Darfur region — an idea that thankfully gained no traction.)

As U.N. ambassador, Rice helped persuade the president to endorse NATO intervention in Libya, but she has hewed to his reluctance to help the opposition in Syria, where the killing of civilians is far worse and the strategic stakes far greater. And the U.N. microcosm does not teach the skills she would need to manage America’s relationships with the real world.

The next secretary of state will have to deal with a rising China and its nervous Asian neighbors. She or he will have to handle a convulsing Middle East and South Asia.

Rice has expertise in none of these areas, and personal relationships with none of the region’s leaders.

Kerry, on the other hand, with 27 years on the Foreign Relations Committee, knows every global player. Example: In 2009, when Afghan President Hamid Karzai flew into a dither and refused to sanction a presidential runoff election, Obama dispatched the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, who patiently walked Karzai around his Kabul residence for hours and won his acquiescence.

I can’t imagine Rice doing something similar. Perhaps it’s unfair, but I can only picture her demanding that Karzai get his act together, now.

Of course, the strongest card Rice has to play is that she and Obama are buddies.

However, looking back at another woman named Rice (Condoleezza), who parlayed a campaign friendship with George W. Bush into high office, I don’t regard pal-ship with POTUS as a guarantee of good performance.

Obama, who has kept foreign-policy decisions close during his first term, will need to delegate more as he focuses on fixing domestic problems. The foreign-policy challenges the country faces will be huge. He needs someone with the broad global experience of Clinton, not someone learning on the job.

The president shouldn’t let the Republican critique of Rice box him in to the wrong choice. And Republicans would do better to button their lips.

Emerson on University Heights. All that now remains of the structure is a heap of ashes, burned timbers and the stone walls of the first story. Prof. Emerson estimates the loss of his house at $12,000, and added to this is the loss of several hundreds of dollars worth of furniture.”

Driving spurs flashes of inspiration Man is by nature a nomad.

He must be constantly on the move. No sooner settled comfortably in one spot, he begins dreaming about some imaginary paradise that lies just beyond the horizon. Then off he goes, singing, “Val-da-re, valda-ra...” The automobile has been a boon to this urge. No longer must man walk forth on “shank’s mare.” Now he only has to hop in his auto and head down the highway, destination unknown, just to satisfy the urge to go.

I understand that global warming, pollution and dependency on foreign oil have put driving in an unfavorable light. But I can’t help it. I love to drive. Driving gives me a sense of purpose. It fulfills my need to “do something.”

Moreover, I get my best ideas behind the wheel. Storming from the house in a fit of restlessness, I get in the car, lay a strip of rubber, and off I go fishing-tailing before a cloud of dust. At once, a blizzard of ideas pummels my brain. I can get them driving fast or slow, but my best ideas come when I’m driving well above the speed limit with my car set on cruise control.

Racing eastward on Kansas Highway 10 the other day, pursued by a dozen squad cars with sirens wailing, I was possessed by a Big Idea. It occurred to me that Americans drive too much.

George Gurley

“

Driving gives me a sense of purpose. It fulfills my need to ‘do something.’ Moreover, I get my best ideas behind the wheel.”

We need to relearn the values of sitting still and taking time to smell the roses. With that idea under my belt, I cut a brodie and headed back home, leaving my pursuers at the Eudora exit in a hiatus of bewilderment. Let me make this clear: That idea would not have occurred to me if I hadn’t been out for a drive.

Driving on 458 past the Wells Overlook recently, I had another idea: Tattoos were once rare. They usually signified a drunken night in Shanghai during a stint in the Navy. A heart pierced by an arrow with the caption “Mom” was about the extent of the repertoire. Today, a man or woman with no tattoos is an aberration. It would be hard to find someone

whose flesh isn’t completely covered with three-headed dogs, man-eating manticores, fire-breathing dragons, comic book heros, verses of haiku.

Think what that’s done to the Tattooed Lady. It’s put her out of business. Same with the Fat Man. The obesity epidemic has made his once respectable vocation obsolete, driven him from the state fair circuit into the ranks of the unemployed, another casualty of the “creative destruction” feature of our ruthless capitalistic system. Makes you think, doesn’t it? Ideas have a way doing that. (Idea #2301, Wells Overlook, June 12, 2012, 127 mph.)

I was driving to the airport once. I didn’t have a flight to catch. A burning need to go for a drive drove me from my easy chair. Just after I entered Missouri, I saw a sign that said: “Hit a worker — $10,000 fine.” I was overcome by outrage. Ten thousand dollars — that’s all? Big game guides in Alaska charge that much to bag a polar bear.

If you want to cut down on workers hit by cars, threaten the perpetrators with confiscation of their assets and a slow death by torture. Come on, people. Make the punishment fit the crime.

True, none of my ideas has yet produced a profit or been put to practical use. I leave that to minds that are not

busy gathering ideas. And who knows when I might get an idea that would be of lasting benefit to humanity? It’s said that a room full of monkeys typing forever would eventually reproduce the manuscript for “Hamlet.”

Isn’t it likely that if I keep going for drives and fielding ideas I’ll eventually come up with an idea worthy of Shakespeare or Einstein?

So let’s not fall too quickly for faddish notions that call for cutting back on gasguzzling autos and aimless Sunday drives. In fact, the government ought to subsidize people like me who get ideas while driving. By the way, I come from a family of idea men. Take my son, an inventor. The other day announced his most recent “Eureka!” moment.

“I lie down in the bath tub and turn the shower on,” he said. “It’s a two-for-one, bath-in-a-shower thing.” Of course, I’m proud of the lad.

Ideas like that one put him in the company of geniuses such as Thomas Alva Edison. Someone is interested in making a video of him, demonstrating how his new invention works.

“But I told them they’d have to wait until I lose a little weight,” he said.

Wichita class uses stand-up desks to help kids learn WICHITA (AP) — The fifth-graders in Patty Daman’s class like to move and do a lot of fidgeting while working on their lessons.

Daman says that’s fine with her, as part of a new program that encourages students to stand and move during class.

The Wichita Eagle reports Daman used a $5,000 grant came from Education Edge, a private fundraising group that supports Kensler Elementary and other Wichita schools, to convert standard desks into standing work stations, with “foot fidgets,” a type of bouncy foot rest.

The desks also have a stool for each student.

Standing and moving helps most students concentrate and reduces distracting behavior, Daman said. And most students agree.

“It helps me learn,” said Shyanna Terzian, 11. “In our old desks, it was a lot easier to fall asleep.”

Shannon Patterson, a

physical therapist who works at Kensler, said she proposed the “Stand Up to Learn” project while researching ways to help kids stay focused.

“Most kids just aren’t made to sit down and stay still for very long,” Patterson said. “We wanted to try something different, see how it worked.”

Students in Daman’s class are encouraged to stand at least 75 percent of the time they’re in class.

They can lean on the desks, which are adjusted to the student’s height, and put their feet on the foot fidget or a stool.

Not all students and parents were happy with the idea.

“There were some complaints. There still are,” Daman said. “But I have noticed a difference in their time on task. . It’s really noticeable with some kids. The number of times I have to redirect them has gone down significantly.”

One parent said she was concerned her daughter

might get tired or develop back problems if she stood three-fourths of the day.

“When I really explained the program to her, she was like, “Oooohhh,’” Daman said.

“She understood it better.

And I think the kids are catching on, too.”

Another benefit is that standing helps students burn more calories. About 42 percent of Daman’s students are overweight or obese.

A pilot study of five classrooms by Texas A&M University found up to a 32 percent increase in calories burned among a group using standing desks compared to a group that sat, Patterson said.

Patterson said she’s eager to hear what students say about the desks next spring, after they’ve used them for most of the school year.

“We’re gathering all types of information,” Patterson said. “This is very much an experiment.”

Embarking on a second term, President Barack Obama faces mounting pressure on a decision he had put off during his re-election campaign: whether to approve the $7 billion proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline between the U.S. and Canada.

Obama pipeline decision may preview energy policy

By Josh Lederman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s a decision President Barack Obama put off during the 2012 campaign, but now that he’s won a second term, his next move on a proposed oil pipeline between the U.S. and Canada may signal how he will deal with climate and energy issues in the four years ahead.

Obama is facing increasing pressure to determine the fate of the $7 billion Keystone XL project, with environmental activists and oil producers each Obama holding out hope that the president, freed from the political constraints of re-election, will side with them on this and countless other related issues down the road.

On its surface, it’s a choice between the promise of jobs and economic growth and environmental concerns. But it’s also become a proxy for a broader fight over American energy consumption and climate change, amplified by Superstorm Sandy and the conclusion of an election that was all about the economy.

“The broader climate movement is absolutely looking at this administration’s Keystone XL decision as a really significant decision to signal that dirty fuels are not acceptable in the U.S.,” said Danielle Droitsch, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Once content with delays that have kept the pipeline from moving forward at full speed, opponents of Keystone XL

“

At a time when we are desperately trying to bend the emissions curve downwards, it is wrong to open up a new source of energy that is more carbon intensive and makes the problem worse.”

— Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore have launched protests in recent weeks at the White House and in Texas urging Obama to kill the project outright. On Capitol Hill, support for the pipeline appears to be gaining.

But Obama has shown little urgency about the pipeline, which would carry crude oil about 1,700 miles from western Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The pipeline requires State Department approval because it crosses an international boundary.

The pipeline became an issue in the campaign, and Obama put it on hold while a plan was worked out to avoid routing it through Nebraska’s environmentally sensitive Sandhills region.

TransCanada, the company applying to build it, revised the route, but that caused the lengthy environmental review process to start over. In the meantime, the company split the project into two parts, starting construction in August on a southern segment between Oklahoma and Texas even as it waits for approval for the northern segment that crosses the Canadian border.

Although the lower leg didn’t require Obama’s sign-off, he gave it his blessing in March anyway, irking environmental activists who see the pipeline as a slap to efforts to reduce oil consumption and fend off climate change.

“At a time when we are desperately trying to bend

the emissions curve downwards, it is wrong to open up a new source of energy that is more carbon intensive and makes the problem worse,” wrote former Vice President Al Gore, now a climate activist, in an email.

Still, in an otherwise highly polarized political climate, access to affordable energy has become a rare issue with bipartisan appeal.

“It’s just a no-brainer,” Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., told The Associated Press.

“Canada is going to export this oil. It’s either going to come to the U.S. or it’s going to go to Russia or China.

Even Democrats that aren’t really excited about oil and gas development generally can figure that out.”

Many Democrats from states whose economies depend on oil support the pipeline. So do some trade unions, whose workers stand to gain thousands of new construction jobs.

While environmentalists make up an important part of their base, Democratic lawmakers are under intense pressure to create jobs and reduce American reliance on Mideast oil.

There’s less variation among Republicans, who generally support the project.

But in Texas, a deep red state that normally embraces the oil industry, the project has drawn intense opposition from landowners who argue their property along the pipeline’s route is being unfairly condemned.

Kansas University junior volleyball standout Caroline Jarmoc sat at a table in the NCAA Tournament interview room, her eyes welling with tears following the Jayhawks’ 3-1 season-ending loss to Wichita State on Saturday before 4,478 fans in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU crumbles in mountainous ‘mismatch’ Smith powers West Virginia to 59-10 rout of Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — On the final snap of his Kansas University football career, senior safety Bradley McDougald never moved.

With the Jayhawks seconds away from a long afternoon officially becoming a 59-10 loss to West Virginia, and with WVU backup quarterback Paul Millard prepared to take a knee on the game’s final play, McDougald stood frozen in his spot in the KU secondary.

“I was just kind of taking it all in, just taking my last breaths on the field,” McDougald said. “I don’t want to say I was enjoying it, but I was moving around in my pads, looking around at the guys in front of me, the guys I’ve been banging with and going to war with week in and week out, one final time.”

West Virginia rolled to 647 yards of offense, and

WVU quarterback Geno Smith completed 23 of 24 passes (the lone miss was intercepted by KU junior Tyler Patmon) for 407 yards and three touchdowns. The stats, the season and, in many ways, McDougald’s entire KU career will go down for everyone else as moments to be forgotten. But as McDougald stood and watched both teams converge around him and meet at midfield for postgame handshakes, he made sure to hook up with senior defensive end Toben Opurum.

Together, the two leaders and familiar faces took their time walking off the West Virginia turf. As they walked slowly, and side by side, into the tunnel for what likely was their final time as teammates, the two Jayhawks who have been through three head coaches and 37 losses during the past four years stood tall.

Kansas can’t hope to compete with this porous pass defense

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — Kansas University’s football team traveled 900 miles to play a game, and the secondary didn’t even get to do what it does best against West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, which of course is celebrate an incomplete pass.

Smith, who led the Heisman Trophy race a few weeks into the season, reminded everybody why Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium in a mismatch that featured plow horses futilely chasing thoroughbreds.

The plow horses lost, 5910, and will continue to lose against all Big 12 opponents unless Kansas figures out a way to cobble together a credible pass defense. That means defensive tackles who push the pocket, ends who fly off the edges and defensive backs who can stay close enough that they can take a look at the football before it settles gently into the hands of the receiver.

Smith’s only non-com-

pletion was intercepted by junior cornerback Tyler Patmon, the lone returning starter in a secondary that loses safeties Bradley McDougald and Lubbock Smith and cornerback Greg Brown.

Smith completed 23 of 24 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns. He relied heavily on three receivers: fast J.D. Woods (four catches, 83 yards), faster Stedman Bailey (11 receptions, 159 yards) and fastest Tavon Austin (four catches, 110 yards, 12 rushes, 77 yards) to shred the Kansas defense at will.

L.A. stops Houston for MLS crown CARSON, CALIF. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Landon Donovan scored the tiebreaking goal on a penalty kick in the 65th minute, and David Beckham left MLS as a two-time champion with the Los Angeles Galaxyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo in the MLS Cup on Saturday.

Omar Gonzalez tied it in the 61st minute with a long header for the Galaxy, who defended their title in a rematch of last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game.

With a stirring second-half surge capped by Robbie Keaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal on another penalty kick in injury time, Los Angeles won its fourth MLS Cup, tying D.C. United for the MLS record.

The Galaxy also gave an appropriate farewell to Beckham, the 37-year-old English midfielder who transformed the league and his team over six seasons in Los Angeles. Beckham will play elsewhere in the new year before eventually re-

turning to MLS as a team owner, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed his immediate plans.

After Calen Carr put Houston ahead in the 44th minute, Beckham and his high-scoring teammates systematically broke down the defense of the Dynamo, who lost the MLS Cup 1-0 to Los Angeles on the same field last year.

Keane played another stellar attacking game for Los Angeles before earning his own penalty kick when Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tally Hall

Donovan even redeemed himself for missing an open net in the 13th minute by burying his penalty kick after a Houston handball in the box. The U.S. national team star won his record-tying fifth MLS title while scoring his fifth career MLS Cup goal and the record 22nd goal of his postseason career.

Ex-coach Majerus dies at 64 LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rick Majerus, the jovial college basketball coach who led Utah to the 1998 NCAA final and had only one losing season in 25 years with four schools, died Saturday. He was 64.

Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman, the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime friend, confirmed in a statement released through The Salt Lake Tribune that Majerus died of heart failure in a Los Angeles hospital.

The Majerus coach had been hospitalized there for several months.

Players remembered Majerus as a coach who was exacting and perhaps a bit unorthodox at times, but always fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a unique experience, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you that, and I loved every minute of it,â&#x20AC;? said Saint Louis guard Kyle Cassity, who was mostly a backup on last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26-win team after starting for Majerus earlier in his college career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people questioned the way he did things, but I loved it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be hard as hell on you, but he really cared.â&#x20AC;?

The school announced Nov. 19 that Majerus wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to Saint Louis because of the heart condition. He ended the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-year NCAA Tournament drought last season, and bounced back from his only losing season, with a team that won its opening game and took top regional seed Michigan State to the wire. The Billikens were ranked for the first time since 1994-95.

Majerus was undergoing evaluation and treatment in California for the ongoing heart trouble and the school announced he was on leave in late August.

Loyola of Chicago coach Porter Moser, a former Majerus assistant at Saint Louis, tweeted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;RIP to my friend and mentor Coach Majerus. I learned so much about the game and life.

We lost One of the best! My heart is heavy tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Majerus had a history of heart problems dating to 1989 that persisted despite a daily constitutional of a one-mile swim.

He had a stent inserted in August 2011 in Salt Lake City and missed some games in the 201112 season after gashing his leg in a collision with players.

Majerus was 95-69 in five seasons at Saint Louis and had a 25year record of 517-216. He had his most success at Utah, going 323-95 from 1989-2004. He was at Marquette from 1983-86, and Ball State from 1987-89. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rick left a lasting legacy at the University of Utah, not only for his incredible success and the national prominence he brought to our basketball program, but also for the tremendous impact he made on the young men who were fortunate enough to play on his teams,â&#x20AC;?

Utah athletic director Dr. Chris Hill said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His standard of excellence extended beyond the basketball court and into the academic and personal success of his players.

He will be deeply missed and we grieve for his family and all of his friends.â&#x20AC;?

Majerus took 12 teams to the NCAA Tournament.

GRAEME MCDOWELL TEES OFF ON THE SIXTH HOLE during the third round of the World Challenge on Saturday at Thousand Oaks, Calif.

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Graeme McDowell rolled in two long putts early in the round Saturday and ran his streak to 29 holes without a bogey on his way to a 4-under 68 and a twoshot lead over Keegan Bradley going into the final round of the World Challenge.

McDowell hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won anywhere in the world since he rallied from four shots behind and beat Tiger Woods in a playoff at this event two years ago, capping off a dream season in which he won the U.S. Open and the decisive match for Europe in the Ryder Cup. This time, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the one protecting a lead.

Bradley said he had to cope with more fallout on the proposed ban of the belly putting stroke when one man in the gallery called him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheater.â&#x20AC;? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much to motivate the former PGA champion, and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep him from a 67 that put him in the final pairing with McDowell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disrespectful, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine with me,â&#x20AC;?

Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try to look at it as motivation to help me try to win this tournament.â&#x20AC;?

Woods, the tournament host and five-time champion at Sherwood Country Club, kept himself in the game. Even though Woods failed to birdie any of the five par 5s, he picked up a pair of birdies on the final two par 3s and added a third to salvage a 69 that left him five shots behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow and see what happens,â&#x20AC;? Woods said.

McDowell was at 13-under 203, and will try to win from the front for the first time since the 2008 Scottish Open at Loch Lomond.

Bo Van Pelt had a 70 and was tied with Woods at 8-under than 208. Jim Furyk was another shot behind after trading three birdies with three bogeys for a 72.

Bradley and McDowell are the only players to post all three rounds in the 60s.

GOLF

Kaymer up by one at Nedbank SUN CITY, SOUTH AFRICA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martin Kaymer rolled in a tricky 10-foot par putt on the last hole for a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke lead on Saturday heading into the final round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryder Cup standout made three birdies and a bogey to move 5 under on an overcast and breezy day that ensured low scores were again out of reach at Gary Player Country Club.

Louis Oosthuizen (69) is second at 4 under, while fellow South African Charl Schwartzel (70) is two back from Kaymer.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

N.C. State taps N. Illinois coach RALEIGH, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dave Doeren is leaving Northern Illinois after two straight championship seasons to take over at North Carolina State.

N.C. State announced Doerenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; less than 24 hours after he guided the 19th-ranked Huskies to their second consecutive Mid-American Conference championship, and just six days after firing Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien.

Doeren claimed a MAC title both years he was at NIU and is 23-4 since taking over the Huskies with a 17-1 record in conference play.

Doeren â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a former Kansas University assistant coach who turns 41 on Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;honored and excitedâ&#x20AC;? to join the Wolfpack.

He replaces Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who was fired following six inconsistent seasons and no Atlantic Coast Conference championship-game appearances at the school that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won the ACC since 1979.

BOXING

Hundreds mourn Camacho NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hundreds mourned Hector Camacho on Saturday in the landmark East Harlem church the fighter attended as a boy, and hundreds more cheered and shouted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Machoâ&#x20AC;? when his coffin was carried out and loaded into a hearse afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hector lived the American dream, to come from simple beginnings and to be known by thousands of people,â&#x20AC;? the Rev. Frank Skelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could lift us up, and he could break our hearts. He could inspire us and at times disappoint us.â&#x20AC;?

Camacho, a native of Puerto Rico who moved to East Harlem as a child, was shot in the face Nov. 20 while sitting in a parked car with a friend outside a bar in Bayamon, his hometown in the U.S. territory. The friend, Adrian Mojica Moreno, died at the scene. The boxer died after doctors removed him from life support.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were tough on our passers, hitters making good decisions, aggressive decisionsâ&#x20AC;? Tolefree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were coming after us.â&#x20AC;?

WSU coach Chris Lamb said the Shockers of the Missouri Valley Conference embraced their role as a mid-major school that beat SEC and Big 12 programs in successive nights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kind of little motto lately is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great against strangers,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Lamb said, seated in an interview room with three Shocker players still wiping away tears of joy a good 20 minutes after the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys love to play the strangers. The (USC) Trojans are going to show up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to show up. I have no problem saying weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing with houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shockers are going to come (to Texas), and the Shockers are going to play hard,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find a game plan and give everything we have. We think we made a statement today. These things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come around every day, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to enjoy it ... forever.

Bechard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we know around here, the NCAA Tournament comes to an abrupt end when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as well as you would have liked. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough in that locker room when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be around this group for the last time. There will be a point in time we understand many of the things we got accomplished this year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not going to be for the next few days.â&#x20AC;?

Notes: The two-day event drew 8,029 fans, most of any of the 16 sites for first- and secondround matches. ... There were 28 ties and 10 lead changes. ... The Jayhawks fall to 26-8 overall, ending their five-match winning streak. ... KU fell 1-5 when trailing 2-1 after three sets. ... KU is 3-4 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. ...

KU leads the all-time series vs. WSU, 39-13. The two teams had last met in 2002. ... WSU junior Chelsy Feekin set the school record for assists in an NCAA Tournament, posting 102 in the two matches. ...

KU women benefit from balanced attack ————

Jayhawks to entertain Minnesota today

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson certainly takes comfort in having as reliable a senior duo as forward Carolyn Davis and point guard Angel Goodrich at her disposal, but she didn’t mind watching other members of the team finish with higher point totals in the Jayhawks’ rout of Grambling State on Wednesday.

Henrickson didn’t have to play Davis (six points in 16 minutes) or Goodrich (seven points in 17 minutes) much against an inferior opponent, so other players stole the spotlight — specifically three sophomores. Forward Chelsea Gardner had her way, with a career-best 26 points and season-best 10 rebounds, forward Asia Boyd posted career highs with 15 points and 10 rebounds, and guard Natalie Knight went for 13 points, three assists and four steals.

In addition to that output, senior guard Monica Engelman and freshman guard Lamaria Cole each scored eight points, and junior forward Tania Jackson had seven.

No. 20 Kansas (6-0) needs to have plenty of scoring options, Henrickson said, to complement the two stars. Davis and Goodrich account for 27 of the Jayhawks’ 69.8

“Those kids gotta be able to step up, make shots or make plays,” Henrickson said of the supporting cast. “Some guys who hadn’t been on the floor a lot, put it on the floor and made the extra pass (in a 101-47 win against Grambling State).”

The ninth-year KU coach said a lot of the role players needed that chance to get more gametime experience. Prior to Wednesday’s easy win, Henrickson told Boyd she hadn’t made a shot outside the paint yet. The 6-foot-1 Detroit product responded with her first threepointer of the season and grabbed seven offensive rebounds, some on her own misses.

“I thought she was aggressive. I thought she

tried to hunt the ball,” Henrickson said of Boyd.

“She was padding her offensive rebound stats but killing her field-goal percentage there for a while.”

Knight’s play also drew praise from the coach, who said the sophomore from Olathe has shown the past two games that she can take over at the point if Goodrich needs a rest or gets in foul trouble.

Henrickson said Knight can keep KU at its ideal pace and not allow a dropoff in offensive productivity.

Goodrich agreed: “She’s a great point guard. She can get in, she can drive, she can shoot. It’s really good to know that she’s there.”

In the previous three games, Knight is averaging 10.3 points and has made 12 of her 14 field goals (including three of five threes).

Minnesota (6-2) comes in averaging 72.1 points a game, but no KU opponent has reached 60 so far this season.

The Golden Gophers have defeated Washington State, Villanova, Ohio, Maine, James Madison and Missouri and lost to Richmond and Virginia.

Jayhawks hope to see much more of Sprint Center

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s Travis Releford, Jeff Withey and Ben McLemore surely are salivating over the possibility of playing as many as five more games in Sprint Center this season.

The high-scoring trio accounted for 153 of KU’s 235 points in three November games in the Kansas City, Mo., arena.

That’s 65.1 percent of KU’s total points in victories over Oregon State (84-78 Friday), Saint Louis (7359, Nov. 20) and Washington State (78-41, Nov. 19).

The Jayhawks, who will play one to three games in Sprint Center during the Big 12 tournament, also are eligible for consideration to play firstand second-round NCAA Tournament games in downtown KC. The way it adds up, Releford, a 6-foot-6 senior from Kansas City, Mo., has scored 60 points in KU’s three Sprint Center games; Withey, a 7-foot senior from San Diego, has totaled 50 points; and McLemore, a 6-5 freshman from St. Louis, has 43 points.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S BEN MCLEMORE, LEFT, and Travis Releford look for a steal as Oregon State’s Eric Moreland (15) swings wide with the ball during KU’s 84-78 victory Friday night at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The ever-modest Releford, who was MVP of the recent CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Sprint Center, believes he knows the secret to his success.

“I guess being back home. I am always excited to be back here,” said the former Roeland Park Bishop Miege standout. “I get to see all my friends and family members I don’t get to see much. They

don’t get a chance to come watch me at the fieldhouse a lot. I guess it’s the excitement coming into the game.”

Releford’s 16 secondhalf points Friday (20 overall off 8-for-10 shooting with seven rebounds, five assists) helped the Jayhawks shake a pesky Oregon State team. It’s a victory that upped the Jayhawks’ record to 6-1

and dropped the Beavers to 4-2.

“Coach wasn’t too happy with us,” Releford said of Bill Self’s postgame speech. “He told us the things we need to work on better — finishing games and closing out a half. It’s stuff we can correct and need to work on during the week.”

KU was burned by point guard Ahmad Starks, who

Veritas boys, girls win tournament titles J-W Staff Reports

MANHATTAN — Veritas Christian won a pair of basketball titles, with both the Eagles’ boys and girls teams defeating Manhattan CHIEF on Saturday in championship games of the Shea Invitational.

The Veritas girls won, 33-17, and the Eagles’ boys defeated CHIEF’s JV, 5322.

Veritas girls 33, Manhattan CHIEF 17 The Eagles held Manhattan to four points in the first half and six points through three quarters.

“When Tori Huslig picked up her second foul early in the first quarter,

Hannah Gloss came in and really played well defensively and picked up five rebounds,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said.

“Those five rebounds from a guard position were really big for us.”

Naomi Hickman scored 13 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for Veritas.

Nine of Hickman’s points came in the fourth quarter.

Huslig added 10 points and four steals. And Kristen Finger, who made the all-tournament team, had eight points and seven rebounds.

The Eagles (3-0) will play host to Overland Park Hyman Brand on Thursday in Eudora.

Manhattan CHIEF: Carol Ann Savage 3, Kiel Ditto 14.

Veritas boys 53, Manhattan CHIEF JV 22 Veritas bolted to a 20-2 lead after one quarter and never looked back.

Eleven players scored for the Eagles, led by Chad Steiben and Andrew Currier with eight points apiece. Andrew Jewell added seven points.

Thomas Bachert and Andrew Currier were named to the all-tournament team.

“A game like this was good for our players,” Veritas coach Gary Hammer said.

Veritas (3-0) will entertain Hyman Brand on Thursday in Eudora.

Baileyville 46, Seabury girls 29 BAILEYVILLE — Seabury fell to host Baileyville on Saturday in the Baileyville tournament.

Seabury scoring: Padget Sutherland 2, Taylor Sweeney 2, Reilly Malone 2, Alexa Gaumer 9, Courtney Hoag 6, Sarah McDermott 8.

scored 25 points off 9-of20 shooting, including 7-of-13 from three.

“Their guard ... that was one of coach’s key things in the locker room at the end, how we need to play better on the guards,” Releford said. “The last few games, the guards have been controlling the game for the other team. We need to continue to work on things, talking on de-

fense. That was a key to Starks getting open looks.”

Starks’ performance brought to mind some other guards. San Jose State’s James Kinney scored 30 points off 11-of-26 shooting (4-of-12 from three) in KU’s 70-57 victory Monday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Also, Chattanooga’s Farad Cobb hit seven threes and scored 21 in KU’s 69-55 win on Nov. 15. Michigan State’s Keith Appling scored 19 and Gary Harris 18 in the Spartans’ 67-64 win over KU on Nov. 13.

Self said he would be considering all options, including possibly playing zone defense, if the Jayhawks don’t start improving on the ball defense.

Of the defense, Self noted: “It all comes down to this ... they guard the guy with the ball better than we guard their guy with the ball. I remember Pat Jones (former Oklahoma State football coach). He’d say, ‘Hey, they were getting our guy; we weren’t getting their guy.’’’

KU has some time to work on its flaws. The Jayhawks next meet Colorado at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

‘Bama holds off Georgia for SEC title, BCS berth The Associated Press

KANSAS STATE DEFENSIVE BACK JARARD MILO (23) TACKLES Texas wide receiver Bryant Jackson during the first half on Saturday in Manhattan. The Wildcats won, 42-24.

K-State BCS-bound after rout of Texas MANHATTAN (AP) — Collin Klein threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores, and No. 7 Kansas State beat No. 23 Texas, 42-24, on Saturday night for its third conference title in 117 years and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl.

The Wildcats had never played for a conference championship in their last game at home and had never had a player end the regular season in such close contention for the Heisman Trophy as Klein.

Neither of his main competitors, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel nor Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o, played this weekend. So Klein, a multitalented senior, had the stage all to himself, one last chance to burnish his credentials for what would be Kansas State’s first Heisman.

In front of their sixth sellout in seven home games, the Wildcats (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) tied their team record for victories in a season and matched Oklahoma’s Big 12 record.

Kansas State has beaten Texas (8-4, 5-4) five in a row.

The Sooners beat TCU earlier Saturday and immediately donned caps and T-shirts declaring themselves Big 12 champs.

But Kansas State’s 24-19 win at Oklahoma on Sept.

22 gives them the tiebreaker and sends them into the Fiesta Bowl.

After a slow start, Klein wound up hitting eight of 14 passes for 184 yards and added 108 yards rushing

on 23 carries. John Hubert scored three touchdowns.

Texas, which may be headed for the Cotton Bowl, led 10-7 at halftime.

But with Klein hitting a 29-yard pass and Hubert breaking free for 28 yards, Kansas State went 75 yards in seven plays, with Hubert scoring from the two.

Hubert also had a twoyard TD run with 47 seconds left in the third quarter and scored on a

one-yard run for a 35-17 lead with a little more than three minutes to go after Drew Liddle recovered Texas’ muffed punt.

A few minutes later, Allen Chapman intercepted Case McCoy’s pass and ran it back 35 yards, setting up Klein’s nine-yard TD run for a 42-17 lead with 1:53 left.

McCoy threw a 14-yard TD pass to Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter and a nine-yard scoring pass to Malcom Brown less than a minute left in the game. Brown also scored on a two-yard run in the second quarter.

McCoy hit 26 of 34 passes for 314 yards, with two interceptions. He was sacked four times.

The Wildcats’ lone touchdown of the first half came on a one-yard run by Klein and after an embarrassing lapse by defensive back Nigel Malone.

With perfect timing, Malone jumped in front of McCoy’s intended receiver on Texas’ second possession, made the interception and sped 30 yards into the end zone. But the ball only traveled the 29. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but upon review, it was determined Malone had let go of the ball and allowed it drop to the ground just as he was about to step across the goal line.

So it was placed on the one, and Klein plowed into the end zone for his 21st rushing TD of the season and No. 54 for his career.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Sooners clinch title share The Associated Press

No. 12 Oklahoma 24, TCU 17 FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Landry Jones threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score, and Oklahoma held on to win at TCU and clinch a share of the Big 12 title.

TCU’s fourth-down pass to the goal-line in the final minute was welldefended and fell incomplete.

The Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) won their eighth consecutive Big 12 game since a late-September loss to Kansas State, which won its regular-season finale at home Saturday night against No. 23 Texas. Oklahoma would have had the outright title and guaranteed BCS spot if the seventh-ranked Wildcats lost.

Oklahoma, whose only other loss was to No. 1 Notre Dame, is still in good shape for the final at-large BCS berth.

TCU (7-5, 4-5) lost all four of its Big 12 games at home despite winning four on the road.

Baylor (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) has won at least seven games in three straight seasons — the first time the Bears have done that since 1949-51.

Seastrunk’s long scoring run gave Baylor a 4127 lead with 5:11 left in the game.

The sophomore burst through the middle and

slowed down about 25 yards shy of the end zone.

Seastrunk stumbled into the end zone and was down on the turf before limping off due to an apparent right-leg injury.

No. 2 Alabama 32, No. 3 Georgia 28 ATLANTA — Alabama got a hand on the ball, which wobbled into the arms of a Georgia receiver who wasn’t supposed to catch it.

Before the Bulldogs could get off another play, the clock ran out.

The Crimson Tide is heading back to the national championship game.

By a mere five yards.

AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and Alabama barely held on at the end, beating Georgia in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.

“I’m ready to have a heart attack here,” Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said.

As confetti fell from the Georgia Dome roof, the Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.

“We just ran out of time,” Georgia coach Mark Richt moaned.

Alabama (12-1) will get a chance to make it three out of four when they face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown on Jan. 7 in Miami.

This time, Alabama will head to the big game with a championship already in its pocket — unlike last year’s squad, which didn’t even make it to Atlanta, but got a do-over against SEC champion LSU in the national title game.

Even though the Tide left little doubt it was truly the best team in the country, routing the Tigers 21-0, there were plenty who thought Saban’s team didn’t deserve a rematch.

There will be no complaints when Alabama heads to South Florida for a dream matchup between two of college football’s most storied programs.

The Tide and Notre Dame have each won eight Associated Press national titles, more than any other school.

“This group has been fantastic,” Saban said.

“They were able to accomplish something of significance, and something that last year’s team didn’t accomplish, which is win the SEC championship.”

What a game it was.

After an apparent gameclinching interception by Alabama was overturned on a video review, Georgia’s Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama eight as the clock continued to run.

The Bulldogs (11-2) were out of timeouts.

Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldog snapped the ball with nine seconds to go. Murray attempted a pass into the corner, but it was deflected at the line and ended in the arms of Chris Conley out in the right flats.

Surprised to get the ball, he slipped down at the five.

Georgia couldn’t get off another play.

Richt said the offense had the play it wanted at the end, but Alabama ruined it by tipping the pass.

If it had fallen incomplete instead of going to Conley, who instinctively caught it, the Bulldogs likely would’ve had at least one more play, maybe two.

Instead, they were done.

The consolation prize will likely be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though the Bulldogs certainly looked like a team deserving of something better.

“Do I think we’re worthy of a BCS bowl?” Richt said. “Yes I do.”

The Bulldogs even got props from Saban.

No. 13 Florida St. 21, Georgia Tech 15 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Florida State held off Georgia Tech to capture its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 2005 and earn a trip to the Orange Bowl.

The heavily favored Seminoles (11-2) built a 21-6 lead at the half and held on to win, helping to erase some of the sting from last week’s 37-26 loss to their bitter rival, No. 4 Florida.

Despite its record, Georgia Tech (6-7) is bowl eligible after receiving a waiver from the NCAA on Thursday.

No. 5 Louisville 69, Illinois State 66 LOUISVILLE, KY. — Without its shot-blocking center, Louisville got big efforts from its backcourt and a seldom-used backup to escape a Saturday scare from Illinois State.

Guards Russ Smith and Peyton Siva traded turns taking over in the second-half of the Cardinals’ comeback win. Stephan Van Treese sparked Louisville in the middle, playing 34 minutes off the bench in place Gorgui Dieng, who is out because of a broken left wrist.

Smith had 14 points of his 24 points in the second half while Siva 15 of his 20 after the break to help the Cardinals overcame an eight-point halftime deficit.

“We were eventually going to make a run,” Smith said. “We just picked up our energy and effort.

They are a great team.”

Down 3 with a chance to tie, Illinois State’s Tyler Brown airballed a threepointer with eight seconds left that was saved by Bryant Allen to Jackie Carmichael. Carmichael found Brown for another chance to force OT, drawing considerable contact from Louisville’s Chane Behanan as the buzzer sounded.

Louisville (6-1) claimed the win with the shot awry and no foul called.

Up 67-66 with 43 seconds left, Behanan missed two free throws but made amends on the next defensive possession, pinning a Carmichael shot on the glass and grabbing the rebound. That set up Siva for two free throws for the game’s final margin.

Illinois State (5-2) led 61-60 with 4:25 to play after being up nearly the entire first half. Brown led all scorers with 25 points.

Carmichael added 20 and nine rebounds.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino said he didn’t think Behanan fouled on the game’s final shot, saying Brown leaned into contact.

Brown called it a questionable decision but said the Redbirds, who shot 52 percent from the floor, had other chances for a signature win.

“We shouldn’t have been in the situation where it came down to a last call like that,” the senior guard from Owensboro, Ky. said. It was Brown’s second straight big performance after scoring a career-high 36 in the Redbirds’ 72-69 overtime loss to Northwestern on Nov. 24.

Nicholls State (1-3) was missing three starters because of injuries or illness.

Coach J.P. Piper had only eight players to work with.

The Spartans’ fivegame winning streak ended Wednesday with a 67-59 loss at Miami, and they looked a bit lethargic at the start against Nicholls State. They seemed to find their rhythm after the second TV timeout, and seven different players scored as they took a 37-13 lead at the break.

No. 14 North Carolina 102, UAB 84 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Leslie McDonald scored a career-high 24 points in his first career start to help North Carolina beat UAB. James Michael McAdoo added 15 points and 12 rebounds as part of a balanced offensive showing for the Tar Heels (6-2).

North Carolina was coming off an ugly loss at No. 1 Indiana, but the Tar Heels regrouped with a win despite playing without starting freshman point guard Marcus Paige due to a shoulder injury.

The Tar Heels shot 53 percent and had six players reach double figures, though they had trouble putting away the program led by former UNC assistant coach Jerod Haase.

Jordan Swing had 21 points to lead the Blazers (4-4), who trailed most of the day but stayed within reach of the Tar Heels until the final 6 minutes.

No. 16 Missouri 72, Appalachian State 56 COLUMBIA, MO. — Laurence Bowers matched his career high with 23 points despite taking just one shot in the second half, leading Missouri to the victory in its first game since embattled guard Michael Dixon announced he would transfer.

Earnest Ross added 13 point and eight rebounds for the Tigers (6-1), who have won 69 in a row at home against non-conference opponents dating to 2005.

Jay Canty had a careerhigh 29 points for Appalachian State (1-6), which has lost six in a row since opening with a victory over NAIA Montreat.

Dixon, the Big 12’s top sixth man last season, elected to leave the school Thursday after two sexual-assault claims against him became public this week. Dixon had been expected to take a major role his senior season but never played.

No. 17 Cincinnati 58, Alabama 56 CINCINNATI — Cashmere Wright’s fadeaway jumper at the buzzer gave Cincinnati the victory in a match-up of stingy unbeaten teams.

In the final seconds, Cincinnati (7-0) was a bit better on defense.

Trevor Releford had a chance to give Alabama (6-1) the lead, but Justin Jackson swatted away his driving jump shot. Cincinnati got the rebound and called timeout with six seconds left.

Wright took the inbound pass at midcourt, drove to the left side of the basket and hit his fadeaway along the baseline over the outstretched arm of 7-foot center Moussa Gueye.

Cowgirls rout Texas No. 15 Oklahoma State suffers first loss, at Va. Tech Southern BIG 12 MEN’S ROUNDUP

Baylor snaps UK’s home streak ————

The Associated Press

Baylor 64, No. 8 Kentucky 55 LEXINGTON, KY. — Baylor’s comfort with the zone defense on Saturday created uneasiness for Kentucky.

It left the Wildcats with a loss to the Bears, a twogame losing streak and the end of their 54-game run at Rupp Arena.

Not to mention a lot of soul-searching.

“They came in here and executed what they were supposed to be doing,” Kentucky freshman center Willie Cauley-Stein said.

“I gave them credit for that. We shot ourselves in the foot. We didn’t make shots and gave up easy plays that could have helped us in the end.”

Kentucky’s struggles with Baylor’s combination of zone alignments were symbolized by its failure to get the ball inside to its big men and a failure to answer it from the outside.

The Wildcats (4-3) just shot 30 percent, their lowest under coach John Calipari. That was 10 percent worse than in Thursday’s 64-50 loss at Notre Dame.

“That’s what happens when you have a bunch of freshmen out there,” Calipari said.

Pierre Jackson scored 17 points, and Isaiah Austin and A.J. Walton each added 11 for the Bears (5-2), who beat the Wildcats for the first time in eight tries.

Baylor also avenged last year’s Elite Eight loss to Kentucky, which went on to win its eighth national title with freshmen Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist leading the way.

Calipari’s latest crop of talented of talented freshmen is clearly not at that level just yet.

Though Calipari has insisted from the outset that center Cauley-Stein, forwards Alex Poythress and Nerlens Noel and guard Archie Goodwin might be as good as their predecessors by the spring, they were going to encounter some bumps along the way.

Baylor provided plenty with its zone and athleticism that at time left Kentucky’s youngsters flatfooted.

“I would say it’s us not going out there and trying to beat them as bad as they want to beat us,” said Goodwin, who led Kentucky (4-3) with 17 points before fouling out with 1:44 remaining in the game.

“Every game that we are going into they are looking to try to come at our heads the hardest because of the name across our chests. As a team we don’t go back at them the same way.”

Poythress added 13 points and Noel eight for the Wildcats, whose only upside was outrebounding the Bears 48-37 including a 21-6 edge in offensive rebounds.

After trailing for the first 15 minutes Baylor took its first lead at 20-19 on Jackson’s three-pointer and stayed close before closing the half with a 12-2 run for a 34-29 lead. The Bears kept the Wildcats at bay with a zone defense that forced Kentucky into 16 turnovers.

Baylor coach Scott Drew wanted to make sure his team stayed with the strategy all day.

“We played zone defense,” Drew said, “and I think in the past, last year when we played them we predominantly played the whole game in man defense and that didn’t work out too well. So, we tried something different.”

For Baylor, the game offered some revenge after Kentucky beat the Bears in last year’s Elite Eight en route to its eighth national title.

Virginia Tech 81, No. 15 Oklahoma St. 71 BLACKSBURG, VA. — Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart is one of the most heralded freshmen in the country, a point guard who could become an NBA lottery pick, and one of the most explosive players in college basketball.

On Saturday at Cassell Coliseum, he faced another one.

Erick Green scored 28 points and hit eight critical free throws in the final 76 seconds to help surprising Virginia Tech remain unbeaten and hand Oklahoma State its first loss.

“He’s a good player, a senior, so you know he has a lot of experience with his guys,” Smart said of Green. “He controlled his team and came up with big-time plays in big-time moments.”

Green’s scoring was critical in the closing moments, but so was his defense. He made a key steal after the Cowboys closed to within 69-66, and was fouled and made the first of eight late free throws.

Oklahoma State (5-1) wasn’t as sharp as it had been, or as focused.

“We broke down a lot on the defensive end. We were doing a lot of complaining to the officials instead of going out there and actually playing,” Smart said. “They wanted it more than us.”

Still, coach Travis Ford expected it to change at any moment.

“We never made any big plays. We were just kind of chugging along in the first half, 10-point lead or whatever it was,” he said.

“We never made the run we needed to make and they would always make a big basket whenever I thought we were going to extend it a bit.”

Green had help, too, especially in the first half when foul trouble limited him to nine minutes.

Robert Brown added 18 points, and Jarell Eddie had 15 with 12 rebounds for the Hokies (7-0), who are off to their first 7-0 start since the 1982-83 season under first-year head coach James Johnson.

Smart and Le’Bryan Nash scored 18 each to lead the Cowboys (5-1), who lost to the Hokies for the fourth straight time, all in the past three seasons.

Texas 70, Texas-Arlington 54 AUSTIN, TEXAS — Julien Lewis scored 18 points, and Ioannis Papapetrou added 17 as Texas defeated Texas-Arlington.

Lewis converted six of 10 three-pointers, and the Longhorns (5-2) won their third straight game.

Jordan Reves led Texas-Arlington (3-2) with 15 points but the Mavericks posted their lowest score of the season. UT-Arlington has never beaten Texas in eight attempts.

Texas led 3-2 after a three-pointer by Lewis about three minutes into the game and never trailed after that.

The Longhorns used 13 three-pointers — eight in the first half — to distance themselves from TexasArlington and finished shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Texas was 23-of-51 shooting from the floor against the nation’s top field-goal percentage defense. The Mavericks had not given up more than 63 points to an opponent this season. Texas surpassed that mark with 7:54 remaining on a pair of free throws by Javan Felix.

KANSAS RUNNING BACK JAMES SIMS (WITH BALL) FINDS AN OPENING at the center of a pile-up to score a touchdown. It was KU’s only TD in a 59-10 loss to West Virginia on Saturday in Morgantown, W.Va.

Smith looks like Heisman pick

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

MORGANTOWN, W. VA. — If Saturday’s events were an accurate indication, former Heisman Trophy candidate Geno Smith could have won the award by unanimous vote had he faced the Kansas University football defense every week.

Smith tied the single-game NCAA record for completion percentage (95.8, Tennessee’s Tee Martin vs. South Carolina in 1998) by 23 of 24 passes. He broke his own school record by completing 21 in a row. By throwing for

other animal,” Dana Holgorsen said. “Are they capable of it? Yes. Is Geno as good of a quarterback (as there is) out there? Absolutely. Is Tavon as dynamic of a player (as there is) in college football?

Yes, he is. Is Stedman (Bailey) as dynamic of a wide receiver as anybody out there?

Absolutely. When you’re 7-5, you’re not going to get that.”

A senior, Smith is a candidate to become the first selection in April’s NFL Draft.

He didn’t do anything to hurt his stock Saturday.

“He didn’t throw any incompletions today,” Holgorsen said. “To throw for

over 400 yards and not throw an incompletion is pretty good. Technically, his one incompletion was an interception, but the ball did not hit the ground all day, which is pretty impressive.”

The Pinstripe Bowl, played at Yankee Stadium, is one possible bowl destination for the Mountaineers. Former American League President and KU Chancellor Gene Budig not only was a key behind-the-curtain power broker in turning the Pinstripe Bowl from a concept to a reality, he also served as president of West Virginia University (1977-80) before coming to Kansas (1980-94).

HOW THEY SCORED

Kansas

First Quarter 12:14 — Andrew Buie 2 run. Tyler Bitancurt kick. In an attempt to keep the ball out of the hands of all-world return man Tavon Austin, Kansas squibbed the opening kickoff, and West Virginia started at its own 32. Eight plays and 68 yards later, the Mountaineers took the early lead.

(WVU 7, KU 0).

2:08 — Shawne Alston 2 run. Bitancurt kick. The Mountaineers’ second scoring drive of the day was awfully similar to their first, as it covered 77 yards in nine plays and 4:07 but also featured a long pass from Smith. This one, a 50-yard bomb to J.D. Woods, set WVU up at the Kansas 30 and came when KU senior Greg Brown fell down in coverage just before the ball arrived. (WVU 14, KU 0).

GAME BALLS GASSERS

407 yards in the 59-10 victory against Kansas, Smith finished the regular season with 4,004 passing yards. Smith’s 145 yards passing in the first quarter were a career-high for one quarter.

Smith threw three touchdown passes Saturday, making him responsible for 100 touchdowns in his career, second to Pat White in West Virginia history. West Virginia’s five-game losing streak killed Smith’s Heisman chances, but he looked the part against Kansas. And receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin looked like All-Americans.

“The Heisman is a whole

KU SENIORS BRADLEY MCDOUGALD (24) AND TOBEN OPURUM WAVE to KU fans as they leave the field. looked out there. It didn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out whose players were exposing the other team’s players.”

Offensively, the Jayhawks did not fare much better. KU finished with just 274 yards of total offense, and, after cutting the WVU lead to 21-7 on a James Sims touchdown run with 7:05 to play in the first half, watched the Mountaineers (7-5, 4-5) rip off 31 straight points before KU cracked the scoreboard again with a 32-yard field goal from Nick Prolago with 9:01 to play.

Smith set a school record with 21 straight completions.

The Mountaineers’ 35 firsthalf points matched their highest scoring half of the season, a feat they recorded in each half of a 70-63 shootout win over Baylor early in the season. Austin and Bailey both struck Heisman poses after touchdowns. And the bulk of the crowd of 51,112 that showed up for WVU’s senior sendoff stayed and partied to the end as John Denver’s “Country Roads” blared over the public-address system.

“If I hear John Denver one more time, I might get sick to my stomach,” Weis said.

“Although I love the song, to have to be serenaded by it walking off after a blowout loss doesn’t exactly fire me up too much.”

Weis gave senior quarterback Dayne Crist the start in the final game of his college career, and like so many of

Crist’s starts during a disappointing and injury-riddled five-year career at KU and Notre Dame, things ended badly and with the former five-star QB prospect sitting on the bench.

“We felt that we were gonna come out in the first couple of series and throw drop-back passes because we knew that they were gonna spend the week loading up the box against us,” Weis said.

Asked why things went wrong even though KU appeared to have some openings in the passing game, Weis pointed to a total team collapse.

“If you saw what I saw, you might see it a little differently,” he explained.

“Sometimes receivers can’t stop running when the ball’s being thrown. There’s more to it than that, but I wasn’t really happy with any of the first few passes and how they turned out.”

Crist was relieved by red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings on KU’s third offensive series of the day and, with or without him, the passing game never clicked.

As a team, the Jayhawks completed just seven of 16 passes for 117 yards and one interception.

“It’s disappointing, obviously,” Crist said. “No one’s happy with where we’re at or how we finished, but there’s something to be learned from every experience, and this season needs to be something this team builds on.”

Second Quarter 11:34 — Stedman Bailey 8 pass from Smith. Bitancurt kick. The Mountaineers looked more like themselves on their third scoring drive, striking quickly with a fiveplay, 61-yard march that took just 1:41.

Smith hit Bailey three times for 23 yards, and Austin kicked it all off with an explosive 31-yard run. (WVU 21, KU 0).

7:05 — James Sims 1 run. Nick Prolago kick. KU’s first scoring drive of the day featured eight runs and one pass, but that pass, a bomb from Michael Cummings to tailback Tony Pierson, set the Jayhawks up with a first-and-10 at the WVU 16. Three plays later, Sims plowed in from a yard out.

The long pass to Pierson was challenged

by West Virginia, but replay officials ruled that Pierson was in the field of play when he caught the ball. (WVU 21, KU 7).

3:29 — Alston 1 run. Bitancurt kick.

Another methodical WVU drive that featured another long pass gave the home team its fourth TD of the first half. This pass, a 44-yarder from Smith to Austin, came on third-and-three in West Virginia territory. (WVU 28, KU 7).

0:24 — J.D. Woods 8 pass from Smith.

Bitancurt kick. The Jayhawks had a chance to salt away the first-half game clock, but knocked just 54 seconds off after a threeand-out, leaving WVU with 2:34 and plenty of time to march down the field for its fifth TD of the first half. (WVU 35, KU 7).

Third Quarter 9:11 — Tyler Bitancurt 30 field goal. West Virginia’s touchdown streak came to an end on the Mountaineers’ first drive of the second half, which was aided by a late pass-interference call on JaCorey Shepherd on a deep ball intended for Bailey. The 15-yard penalty moved WVU into KU territory, and, four plays later, the Mountaineers settled for three. (WVU 38, KU 7).

6:02 — Bailey 16 pass from Smith. Bitancurt kick. West Virginia’s quick-strike offense showed up again on this drive, as the Mountaineers moved 74 yards in just three plays and 54 seconds. The big play on the drive came from Buie, who caught a screen pass from Smith and raced by the entire KU defense before Greg Brown pushed him out inside the 20. (WVU 45, KU 7).

1:31 — Austin 1 run. Bitancurt kick.

Although Austin rarely got loose during this one, he did finally factor into the scoring, carrying the load on the final two snaps of this 82-yard drive. (WVU 52, KU 7).

Fourth Quarter 9:01 — Nick Prolago 32 field goal. In 7:30, KU methodically took the ball down the field on this 15-play, 60-yard drive. No play on the drive was longer than eight yards. Prolago snuck his kick inside the left upright for his fifth straight made field goal this year. (WVU 52, KU 10).

5:13 — Dustin Garrison 26 run. Bitancurt kick. Smith received one final ovation at home, as he was checked out of the game during this drive. The Mountaineers went 84 yards on eight plays, with Garrison cutting his TD run back to the left side on his 26-yard score. The drive covered 84 yards in eight plays and 3:43. (WVU 59, KU 10).

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks’ Sims goes over 1,000

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

MORGANTOWN, W. VA. — When Kansas University junior James Sims was suspended for the first three games of the 2012 football season after a DUI arrest this summer, many wondered if KU’s leading rusher from the previous two seasons would lose his featured spot in the Jayhawks’ backfield.

Not only did Sims answer that question with a resounding no, but he also became the first Jayhawk since 2007 to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

The Irving, Texas, native reached quadruple

digits during the second half of a 59-10 blowout loss at West Virginia on Saturday. Sims did little to change the mood of a broken-up locker room, but Sims, the ultimate team player, talked after the game about what the achievement meant.

“It was a big goal for me,” he said. “Even though I knew I was gonna be suspended the first three games, I still had that goal in my head, and I’m glad it happened. The offensive line did a great job up front. Give those guys credit because without them, I wouldn’t even have come close to it.”

Despite finishing with

a season-low 57 yards on 18 carries, Sims became just the 12th back in KU history to record a 1,000yard season. He finished with 1,013 yards — and the respect of his teammates.

“He’s just a tough guy, a tough runner, and it means a lot to him,” senior quarterback Dayne Crist said. “He loves football, and you can see that every day, and it’s great to see a guy like that go out there and get that milestone.”

Heaps ready Although he did not make the trip to West Virginia, quarterback Jake Heaps, a sophomore who sat out the season after

transferring from BYU, more than made his presence felt.

While he did not mention Heaps by name, KU coach Charlie Weis made it clear whom was referring to when he explained Heaps’ impact after the game.

“I go in there, and one of our players who didn’t make the trip, who I’m counting on to be a significant player next year, had (sent me) a string of texts giving his analysis of the game,” Weis said.

“This, this, this, this, and I’m reading it, and that perks you up. In a second, you’ve gone from being totally in the tank

to sit there and say, ‘Now that’s what I’m talking about.’”

Weis continued: “It was refreshing to see that not only is he watching the game, but he’s studying the game and analyzing the game.”

With KU’s quarterback play falling well below expectations this season, Heaps is considered to be one of the most important players in the program heading into 2013. It seems he’s ready.

“He asked if he could have a meeting with me tomorrow so while we’re on the road recruiting he can start moving things in the right direction,” Weis

said. “We need a lot of people like that, but that’s a good start.”

This and that ...

The Jayhawks won Saturday’s opening coin toss and deferred their choice to the second half. West Virginia elected to receive the opening kickoff. ... Senior offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson increased his school record of consecutive starts to 48 in the final game of his career. ... With 64 yards on three kickoff returns Saturday, senior D.J. Beshears became KU’s alltime leader in the category (2,123), passing Marcus Herford (2,075).

KANSAS JUNIOR DEXTER LINTON (23) AND SENIORS DAYNE CRIST (10) AND KALE PICK (7) leave the field after KU’s 59-10 loss Saturday against West Virginia University in Morgantown, W.Va.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Nothing drives home the point of how much work needs to be done to make Kansas a competitive Big 12-caliber football team better than remembering that West Virginia (7-5, 4-5) lost five consecutive conference games.

Not long after Kansas coach Charlie Weis finished talking about his team’s latest bloodbath, he held a clandestine meeting behind a curtain with West Virginia’s quarterback, dispensing advice he couldn’t get from his head coach, Dana Holgorsen, who has spent his entire career in the college ranks.

Efforts to eavesdrop on the conversation were stunted by security goons, but the word here and there that could be made out made it seem as if Weis was letting him know how to maximize his appeal to NFL teams between now and April 25, the first day of the NFL Draft.

A candidate to be chosen first in the draft, Smith won’t face any defenses that looked like the one he abused with precision, accuracy and impressive arm strength Saturday.

“He completed every pass today,” Weis said.

“One to us and 23 to them.”

Smith completed the last 21 passes he threw Saturday.

“Very similar to every other Big 12 offense there is,” McDougald said. “No different from Baylor, Kansas State. That’s the Big 12: high-powered offenses, and defensive coordinators coming together trying to figure out how to stop them.”

Kansas was able to slow

MOUNTAINEERS RECEIVER TAVON AUSTIN (1) GRABS A DEEP PASS in front of KU defenders Greg Brown and Tyler Patmon (33).

Big 12 offenses on an every-other-week basis until getting buried in the final two games of a 1-11 season.

Iowa State slammed Kansas, 51-23, in Lawrence.

What happened to the defense in the final two games?

“It was definitely big plays,” Weis said.

Part of the big-play outbreak doesn’t need much analysis. Kansas doesn’t make quarterbacks uncomfortable and doesn’t cover receivers well.

Strength and speed are lacking up front, and not enough speed and — what else, confidence maybe?

— roams the secondary.

“I’m fully aware of our deficiencies,” Weis said.

“I’m fully aware of what they are. In about five seconds, I’m going to be out recruiting to try to plug some of these holes and not have as many deficiencies.”

Weis is as excited about Jake Heaps taking over at quarterback as he was for several months at the prospect of Dayne Crist handling the job. The law of averages says Heaps will do just fine. But what about the offensive line, which loses three multi-year starters? And what about the wide receivers, who as a unit did not catch a touchdown pass all season?

The inability to complete passes and defend them undermined the competitiveness of a squad that became the first in school history to lose 11 games. Weis intends to shore up both areas immediately by using instant playing opportunities to entice players from junior colleges.

Upon taking the job, Weis said he was curious to find out why Kansas State went 10-2 last season and Kansas 2-10. K-

State headed into Saturday night’s game against Texas needing a victory to go 11-1, again the inverse of KU’s record.

After one season on the job, what has Weis learned about why that is?

“It has a lot to do with recruiting,” he said.

“That’s what we’re going to go try to fix. I don’t want to get into particulars, but if you look at the makeup of the rosters, you’ll see there’s one glaring statistic that comes out with where everyone came from. Without having to spell it out, it’s one of the areas where you can fill a void quickly with players who can play now.

We all watched the game.

Obviously, we need to fill these voids with players who can play now.”

Faster players wanted by other Big 12 teams, not everybody else’s leftovers.

KU’S KALE PICK (7) HAS THE BALL knocked out of his hands by West Virginia defenders.

Heat 102, Nets 89 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored a season-high 34 points, LeBron James added 21 points, and Miami rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat Brooklyn on Saturday night.

Ray Allen scored 13 and Norris Cole finished with 12 for the Heat, who won their sixth straight and remained atop the Eastern Conference. Miami held the Nets to 30 points in the second half.

Andray Blatche scored 20 points for Brooklyn, which had won five in a row. Gerald Wallace had 13 points, Joe Johnson added 12 and Deron Williams finished with 10 points and 12 assists.

The Nets were 10 for 31 from the field in the second half and lost to Miami for the 12th straight time.

Wade added seven assists and shot 14 for 20 for Miami. He reached the 30-point mark for the first time this season when he took an alley-oop pass from Allen and slammed the ball for a 90-81 edge with 5:14 left.

He added a 10-footer on Miami’s next possession for the Heat’s first doubledigit edge of the game, helping the reigning NBA champions move to 8-0 at home this season.

Miami has made a living off fourth-quarter comebacks this season, already winning six games where it trailed at some point in the final 12 minutes.

Spurs 99, Grizzlies 95, OT SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker scored 30 points, Tim Duncan had 27 points and 15 rebounds, and San Antonio shook off a “disappointing” $250,000 fine by the NBA to beat Memphis in overtime.

Coach Gregg Popovich said before the win he doesn’t know if the Spurs will appeal the NBA’s stiff penalty for sending Duncan, Parker and two others home to rest Thursday instead of them suiting up against the Miami Heat in a nationally televised game.

Popovich said he was disappointed by Commissioner David Stern’s decision. He also didn’t rule out sitting out players again in the future.

Police: KC’s Belcher kills girlfriend, self

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — It began like any other Saturday for the Kansas City Chiefs during the NFL season, their general manager and coach at work early to put final touches on this weekend’s game plan. Then they got a call to hurry to the parking lot.

The two men rushed through the glass doors of Chiefs headquarters and came face-to-face with linebacker Jovan Belcher, holding a handgun to his head.

Belcher had already killed his girlfriend and sped the short distance to Arrowhead Stadium, right past a security checkpoint guarding the entrance.

Upon finding his bosses, Belcher thanked general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel for giving him a chance in the NFL. Then he turned away and pulled the trigger.

The murder-suicide shocked a franchise that has been dealing with controversies now made trivial by comparison: eight consecutive losses, injuries too numerous to count, discontent among fans and the prospect that

Pioli and Crennel could be fired at season’s end.

Authorities did not release a possible motive while piecing together the case, other than to note that Belcher and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, had been arguing frequently.

The two of them left behind a 3-month-old girl.

She was being cared for by family.

The Chiefs issued a statement that said their game this afternoon against the Carolina Panthers would go on as scheduled, even as the franchise tried to come to grips with the awfulness of Belcher’s death.

“The entire Chiefs family is deeply saddened by today’s events, and our collective hearts are heavy with sympathy, thoughts and prayers for the families and friends affected by this unthinkable tragedy,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in brief a statement.

A spokesman for the team told the Associated Press that Crennel plans to coach today.

“I can tell you that you have absolutely no idea what it’s like to see someone kill themselves,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James, who spoke to Pioli

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS LINEBACKER Jovan Belcher watches from the sidelines during a Sept. 16 game against Buffalo in Orchard Park, N.Y. shortly after the shootings.

“You can take your worst nightmare and put someone you know and love in that situation, and give them a gun and stand three feet away and watch them kill themselves.

That’s what it’s like,” James said. “It’s unfathomable.”

The 25-year-old Belcher was from West Babylon, N.Y., and played college football at Maine. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, made the team and hung around the past four years, eventually moving into the

starting lineup. He played in all 11 games this season.

The NFL released a statement expressing sympathy and pledging “to provide assistance in any way that we can.” The players’ association has also been in touch with members of the Chiefs.

“We sincerely appreciate the expressions of sympathy and support we have received from so many in the Kansas City and NFL communities, and ask for continued prayers for the loved ones of those impacted,” Hunt said. “We will continue to fully cooperate with the

Like Chiefs, Panthers have been reeling KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers won just once in their first six games and were scuffling along toward irrelevance when owner Jerry Richardson fired general manager Marty Hurney.

Didn’t matter that it was early in the season, or that it could create some instability for coach Ron Rivera and the rest of the

franchise. Richardson decided it was time to make a change, and it came swiftly and decisively the day after a loss to Dallas.

It’s the same kind of move fans in Kansas City have been seeking for weeks.

The Panthers are due to visit the Chiefs today to play before a backdrop of plenty of empty seats.

Kansas City has lost eight

straight games to fall to 1-10, prompting a movement by disgruntled fans aimed at expelling general manager Scott Pioli from the front office.

The game has almost become secondary to the off-the-field drama.

One grassroots group has ponied up for banners to fly over the stadium asking for Pioli to be fired.

Many fans came dressed

in black two weeks ago against Cincinnati to mourn the lost season, and Arrowhead Stadium was filled with thousands of Denver Broncos fans last Sunday.

How difficult are tickets to get for today’s game? Some posted on the secondary market this week for $3.50, about $60 below the average ticket price.

authorities and work to ensure that the appropriate counseling resources are available to all members of the organization.”

The drama unfolded early Saturday when authorities received a call from a woman who said her daughter had been shot multiple times at a residence about five miles from the Arrowhead complex. The call came from Belcher’s mother, who referred to the victim as her daughter.

“She treated Kasandra like a daughter,” Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said, adding that the woman had recently moved in with the couple, “probably to help out with the baby.”

Police then got a phone call from the Chiefs’ training facility, and Belcher’s description matched the suspect description from the initial address. Snapp said officers pulled into the practice facility parking lot in a matter of minutes, in time to witness the suicide.

“Pioli and Crennel and another coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him,” Snapp said. “The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the offi-

cers and that’s when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life.”

The coaches told police they never felt in any danger.

“They said the player was actually thanking them for everything they’d done for him,” Snapp said.

“He was thanking them and everything. That’s when he walked away and shot himself.”

Members of the Chiefs laid low Saturday, but a few of them reacted on Twitter.

“I am devastated by this mornings events,” Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali wrote. “I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to everyone effected by this tragedy.”

A large group of Belcher’s friends and relatives gathered Saturday at his boyhood home on Long Island.

His family turned the front yard into a shrine, with a large poster of Belcher, an array of his trophies, and jerseys and jackets from Kansas City, Maine and West Babylon High.

“He was a good, good person ... a family man.

A loving guy,” said family friend Ruben Marshall, who said he coached Belcher in youth football.

A NEW GENERATION OF

Son of musician helps carry on once-thriving jazz scene in Lawrence

F

riday nights at the Five Bar, there’s a throwback to a different era of Lawrence’s historic music scene.

Don’t call it old-fashioned — these twentysomething players are thoroughly modern — but there’s a sense of history in all jazz music, evoking memories of musicians with names like Dizzy, Bird and Count. Catch Tommy Johnson Jr. gracefully bringing his Watch a video of beloved trumpeter Tommy trumJohnson Jr. performpet into the fray ing with his band on one Blueprint only at of those Lawrence.com nights, and there’s just that bit extra. On top of the stories about jazz legends, Johnson’s playing can tell you stories about the lesser-known local heroes, of the Gaslight Gang and of an era when jazz flowed up and down Massachusetts Street just as often and as beautifully as it did at 18th and Vine in Kansas City.

Johnson, 25, is a Kansas University doctoral student in chemistry currently on a fellowship in California.

But he’ll be back in a couple of weeks, and the oldtimers and new generation of Lawrence’s jazz scene will be waiting for him.

Talking with Tommy Jr., in an interview in the Kansas Union before his last Lawrence gig for a while, his face brightens up into a sheepish grin as he admits he tries to listen to music that isn’t jazz on his iPod. He really tries, but jazz is just too good, too easy to get lost in. Jazz is so complex, he says, so historically significant and yet so ever-evolving. It’s about collaboration.

It wasn’t really until high school that he discovered jazz and began playing it. Before then, he always knew

SCENE STEALERS Arts Center, Filmmaker gives fresh take on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Anna Kareninaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; museum V get NEA grants

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Two Lawrence entities have announced that they received significant National Endowment for the Arts Art Works grants to further their missions.

The Spencer Museum of Art will receive $35,000 to support its commission of two internationally renowned artists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Kansas University alumnae â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who are creating a large-scale, site-specific installation inspired by the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection. This marks the second consecutive year of Art Works funding for the exhibition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Errant Line: Ann Hamilton/Cynthia Schira,â&#x20AC;? which is scheduled to open March 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are delighted that the NEA has acknowledged the significance of these two artists of international stature who have deep associations with the University of Kansas,â&#x20AC;? museum director Saralyn Reece Hardy said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visitors who encounter this work will be inspired by the synergy of their creativity with the Spencerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich, historic collections.â&#x20AC;?

Also, the Lawrence Arts Center will receive $20,000 to support its visiting and resident artists program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This honor from the National Endowment for the Arts recognizes at the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest level our commitment to putting artists at the center of our work in performance, exhibition and arts education,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Tate, the Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visiting and resident artists funded by the NEA brings visual and performing artists from around the world to teach, make artwork and exhibit in Lawrence.â&#x20AC;?

The museum and the Arts Center received two of 832 such grants nationwide, chosen from more than 1,500 eligible applicants. Projects focus primarily on the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing work for the benefit of American audiences.

ladimir Nabokov and William Faulkner both agreed that Leo Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1870s serial novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna Kareninaâ&#x20AC;? is one of the greatest love stories in world literature. It has been adapted into a film at least 11 times and is the modern template for any tragic romance set against a historical backdrop.

His strategy has paid off handsomely in this new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna Karenina,â&#x20AC;? which combines the most creative elements of theatrical staging with clever filmic transitions that echo the moods of its characters.

Besides the aesthetic pleasures of the production design and costuming, Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camera movements and unique staging (which has characters moving sets around in a theater for much of the time) add another layer of narrative to an already densely plotted movie.

Fast forward six weeks.

After hearing that The Jacobson has â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best burger in townâ&#x20AC;? from someone who I think has the best palate in town, I decided to give the place a second chance. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it no longer felt like a night club. We were seated quickly in a very comfortable spot, and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. And I could hear her, which was good because she told me about the $12 wine bottles special.

But back to the burger.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often I eat my words, but last week I did it at The Jacobson (2050 Central, Kansas City, Mo.).

The Jacobson is billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a modern eatery with a vibrant atmosphere; yet evoking a sense of relaxed belonging and comfortâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; otherwise known as a restaurant. If a restaurant has to call itself something other than a restaurant (gastropub, anyone?) and needs â&#x20AC;&#x153;yetâ&#x20AC;? and a semicolon in the one-sentence description, I worry the focus is not on the food.

My first trip to the Jacobson supported that theory. It was the grand opening celebration, and I had the flattest shoes and least-sparkly clothes of anyone in the place. It was loud and the food was just bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most memorable were the soggy fries; my cocktail tasted of cough syrup. Our server may or may not have dropped something on the table that caused a champagne flute to break into my water glass (he definitely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Features reporter Sara Shepherd can did), and he either didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reached at 832-7187.

DJ brings the oldies to KJHK, Replay Lounge

DJ MODREY HEPBURN, AKA EMILY SCHOLLE, PLAYS MUSIC at the grand opening of Atomic Photographyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new space. Scholleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly show on KJHK, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage Vinyl,â&#x20AC;? in which she strictly plays only records, airs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesdays.

it was there, growing up with his trumpet-playing, band-member father, Tommy Johnson Sr. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until later that Tommy Jr. felt it in his bones.

Tommy Jr. says his parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heavily influence him to take up trumpet, or to pursue a career outside of music to pay the bills as they did. He came to those decisions on his own, but watching his passion develop into dedication, talent and awards, local jazz regulars canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but see a significant lineage in the younger Tommyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft.

Generational jazz The Rev. Paul Gray is one of those local jazz regulars, though he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as he used to be. He was an undergrad from 1965 to 1969 and, with the late Tommy Sr., started the Gaslight Gang, a sometimes sevenor eight-piece jazz band of full-time, professional

change is because the demand for seats and size of the program have grown.

The university wanted to allow as many people as possible to attend the program rather than continue to have the concert at the church and have to turn guests away at the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a standard part of the Christmas and holidays,â&#x20AC;? Townsend says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like the Christmas season has started until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done our vespers concert. It really puts us in the Christmas mood.â&#x20AC;?

Vespers will feature traditional Christmas music as well as pieces that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as well-known. A special musical piece that will be performed was written specifically for Baker Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music department by composer Mark Hayes. The piece premiered last year, but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance will be special because Hayes will be in the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have someone of his caliber to come to our concert is an honor,â&#x20AC;? Potterton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big name in music and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be there.â&#x20AC;?

Potterton suggests arriving about 45 minutes or an hour early to ensure an optimum seat for the per-

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to see the jazz culture here, but when you find the musicians and really hear their stories, you can see Lawrence has so much potential.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jazz trumpeter Tommy Johnson Jr.

musicians that lasted until the late 1980s.

Gray started the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., in 1974 and owned it until 1982. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house band was a big deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; big enough to make it to the finals of pre-reality TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your All-American College Showâ&#x20AC;? plus record an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andy Griffith Showâ&#x20AC;? special in Hollywood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only gang in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawrence was always a rock town,â&#x20AC;? Gray says.

The Red Dog Inn, an underground club that was literally underneath where Free State Brewery is now, was a good spot for rock bands with horn sections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s especially, there was jazz. You could find live jazz five, six, seven nights

a week. There was somewhat of a resurgence.â&#x20AC;?

Those days are no more, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you, but the Gaslight Gangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy lives on in its small ways. You can still find their recordings, if you look hard enough, and Gray and Tommy Jr. are two of many members of Junkyard Jazz, a multigenerational group that plays weekly at the American Legion.

Gray, now a pastor at New Life in Christ Church, 619 Vermont St., says that his decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Tommy Sr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to stay in Lawrence was based on the belief that Lawrence is a place where a musician could have a good life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought if I could make this our home base, I could do it, and raise a family in a Midwestern-

Emily Scholleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly show on KJHK, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage Vinyl,â&#x20AC;? truly lives up to its name. Scholle, also known as DJ Modrey Hepburn, is the only KJHK DJ who strictly plays records on the radio, though others may play vinyl on occasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really love records,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really love how they sound.â&#x20AC;?

Tune in to her show or see her live and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear songs from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s through the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started playing 1950s.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it all started out,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love oldies, doo-wop, and rockabilly. All those sappy songs no one listens to anymore. I think my main

values kind of way. Fortunately, it worked out for a couple of decades,â&#x20AC;? Gray says.

Tommy Jr. says that it was at his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral two and a half years ago that he felt the community of Lawrence and Kansas City musicians come together, a sense of bond that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuing through his regular gigs today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to see the jazz culture here, but when you find the musicians and really hear their stories, you can see Lawrence has so much potential,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Musicians (here) are so close and accepting of all kinds.â&#x20AC;?

And so Tommy Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation forges Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jazz onward, in his band, Blueprint, and others playing weekly shows at Five Bar and Pachamamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, musicians in their own right, but with that sense of history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can close my eyes and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to imagine itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his dad playing,â&#x20AC;? Gray says with a hint of nostalgia in his voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very good.â&#x20AC;?

Her interest in records began when she started DJing for KJHK in summer 2011. At first, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even own a record player. Now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquired records from Chicago, Los Angeles and other places when traveling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard to find [records] that are in good condition,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people bought them and played the hell out of them.â&#x20AC;?

She says Half Price Books, 1519 W. 23rd St., is her local location of choice when it comes to an affordable, wide selection of records, but she

also shops at Love Garden, 822 Massachusetts St. Some of her proudest finds are a few Beatles 45s.

Scholle is a senior at Kansas University studying music education. She says the emphasis in the program on transcribing music and being able to identify music keys has helped her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps subconsciously â&#x20AC;&#x201D; make smart decisions on what songs to play alongside each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that getting an actual education is really helpful,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] really helpful as far as which records go really nicely together.â&#x20AC;?

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE

BY SARA SHEPHERD

The Pho Combination Bowl (with beef, meatballs, tripe and tendons) at Little Saigon CafĂŠ, 1524 B W. 23rd St.

PHO COMBO BOWL

The Pho Combination Bowl is Little Saigon CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, beefiest bowl of pho â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a steaming, fragrant Vietnamese beef broth soup with noodles, bean sprouts, scallions and basil. And unless you eat beef tripe (intestines) and tendons (connective tissue) regularly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also their most exotic.

This dish is packed with sliced beef, meatballs, tripe (white, fibrous and, ah, textured) and tendons (gelatinous, collagenous and melt-inyour-mouth).

A sign on the door of the restaurant, which opens at 10 a.m., defines pho for newbies and notes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pho is perfect for any time of day, breakfast, lunch or dinner.â&#x20AC;?

Where to get it: Little Saigon CafĂŠ, 1524 B W. 23rd St. What youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay: $8.50, plus tax Try it with: A swirl of

hoisin sauce and a swirl of sriracha sauce, stirred into the broth for extra flavor and heat. Little Saigonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners say this is the way they like it.

Also on the menu: All things Vietnamese â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spring rolls, pho with chicken or beef, bun (vermicelli noodles), beef stew, meat or vegetarian entrees and bubble tea. For dessert, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh fried mini donuts or honey fried banana topped with roasted sesame seeds.

Restaurant website: littlesaigonlawrence.com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Off The Beaten Plate highlights some of the more exotic, oddly named or inventively concocted (for better or worse) dishes from local menus.

BEHIND THE LENS

Archiving old slides for the present day? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get digital

A

rchiving photographs has transitioned from the days of storing pictures in slide carousels and negative sleeves to transmitting digital bytes to online photo sites, or burning to hard drives and discs.

For people under 30, digital is most likely all they have ever known. For baby boomers like myself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably experienced photographing with film but now find yourself joining the digital age. The dilemma facing some of us is what to do with our old slides and negatives.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently sorting through my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; photographs and digitizing images. Once digitized, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the capability of duplicating them, creating books, emailing or printing them. Here are some suggestions if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing a box of family photographs in nondigital formats.

MIKE YODER myoder@ljworld.com

Do it yourself The do-it-yourself method requires a scanner that can convert old film, slides and prints into digital data.

These scanners can cost between $100 to $2,000, and quality will vary considerably.

Some flatbed scanners, the same one you have at home for copying or faxing, can sometimes be used as film scanners.

The problem is that 35mm film is small and many of these flatbed devices

far away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; possibly to a service center in India.

While I was pleased with the service, there may be better options.

Keeping local, Wolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also offers scanning services of both 35mm and larger formats.

Wolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website lists 35mm batch scanning of 40 slides for $39.99. These scans create 4-megapixel files, capable of producing a 4-by-6-inch print.

Nearing 50, a heightened perspective for Pitt

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The face is hardly wrinkled and the long blond locks appear unchanged, but Brad Pitt, who will turn 49 this month, is increasingly preoccupied with the passage of time and the thought that his rarefied place in movies is fleeting.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now been more than 20 years since Pitt broke out as the heartthrob of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thelma & Louise.â&#x20AC;? While nothing has diminished his status as one of the few genuine movie stars on the planet, Pitt says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now working as if an expiration date lurks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely past halfway,â&#x20AC;? says Pitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think about it very much as a father. You just want to be around to see (your children) do everything.

If I have so many days left, how am I filling those days? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been agonizing over that one a bit like I never have before.â&#x20AC;?

But that sense of urgency has helped fuel some of Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, most daring work, including his new film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing Them Softly.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his second with Andrew Dominik, the New Zealand-born director of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.â&#x20AC;? In the adaptation of George V. Higginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1974 crime novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trade,â&#x20AC;?

Pitt plays a hit man operating in a shabby underworld of image-conscious gangsters.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost surprising how few blockbusters Pitt has starred in over the last decade. Instead, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravitated toward working with revered directors like Terrence Malick (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tree of Lifeâ&#x20AC;?) and the Coen brothers, and shaping his opportunities by producing them. His production company, Plan B, produced both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesse Jamesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing Them Softly,â&#x20AC;? as well as many of his films in between.

More often than not, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sought to downplay his glamour, a track begun with David Fincherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight Clubâ&#x20AC;? and extended with ruminations on celebrity (Dominikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesse Jamesâ&#x20AC;?) and more character actor roles than most leading men would dare (his ditzy personal trainer in the Coensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burn After Reading,â&#x20AC;? his Nazi-killing lieutenant in Quentin Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inglourious Basterdsâ&#x20AC;?). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killing Them Softly,â&#x20AC;? too, is an ensemble, with James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn.

Even in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as Oakland Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager Billy Beane in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moneyballâ&#x20AC;? (for which he landed his third Oscar nomination), Pitt deliberately played it lowkey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is more interesting,â&#x20AC;? says the Missouribred Pitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy the fantasy; I enjoy when everyone wins. I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute to that idea very well, for better or worse. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something subversive in my Christian upbringing or something, my mid-America upbringing. That irreverent urge that makes you want to yell or fart during the Benediction in church.

I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help it.â&#x20AC;?

And yet, Pitt has simultaneously carried the movie star mantle with seeming ease. Though his relationship with Angelina Jolie, with whom he has six children, has made him a constant tabloid target, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relaxed and unguarded in conversation. He says his celebrity â&#x20AC;&#x153;hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bugged me since the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s,â&#x20AC;? but he acknowledges that he occasionally trades on it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, I play some smart ball,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficulty with

Brad was always: What can you cast a movie star in?â&#x20AC;? says Dominik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to deal with it. You have to cast him as someone extraordinary, which I guess he is. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cool guy in the movie.â&#x20AC;?

Certainly a very unâ&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight Clubâ&#x20AC;? thing to do was the recent Chanel ad campaign Pitt stars in, where he smolders in black-and-white and says things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a journeyâ&#x20AC;? into the camera. The spots were mocked on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Live,â&#x20AC;? to which Pitt says cheerfully: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair play, fair play.â&#x20AC;? After a reporter admits not knowing much about fragrances, he laughs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apparently, neither do I.â&#x20AC;?

So why do it? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never done it before,â&#x20AC;? says Pitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Respect the company. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting old.

BRAD PITT, WHO WILL TURN 49 THIS MONTH, is increasingly preoccupied with the passage of time and the thought that his rarefied place in movies is fleeting. able to do something like that.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a line of reasoning that seems pervasive in Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choices right now, including his current project: â&#x20AC;&#x153;World War Z.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

zombie action film reportedly budgeted at $180 million that could give Pitt what his resume is missing: a franchise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a franchise guy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told

me I should be focusing on that, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting older and cresting the precipice and heading down the other side: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You should really bank one of those.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not good at it.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a far bigger scale production for Pitt and Plan B, and things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone smoothly.

The ending is being reshot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; typically a bad sign for a movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Pitt calls the film â&#x20AC;&#x153;a total learning experience for me.â&#x20AC;? When the film finally wraps, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be celebrating.â&#x20AC;?

Dede Gardner, Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producing partner, says getting older has only made Pitt more patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely careful,â&#x20AC;? says Gardner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that happens if you age with consciousness, to be vigilant.â&#x20AC;?

Their other coming productions are smaller, more director-driven.

Plan B is producing the next film by Steve McQueen (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shameâ&#x20AC;?), â&#x20AC;&#x153;12 Years a Slave,â&#x20AC;? and is slated to again produce a film

by Dominik: his planned Marilyn Monroe biopic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blonde.â&#x20AC;?

Though â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesse Jamesâ&#x20AC;? made a scant $4 million at the box office, Pitt has stuck with the director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, it became clear to me that there were many leading men roles that you could plug anyone of us into and virtually get the same thing,â&#x20AC;? says Pitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an investment of time and thought, I wanted to find stories that were more personal to me and that I believed I could add something that was unique.â&#x20AC;?

Famous bookstore owners give their picks for the season

NEW YORK — Louise Erdrich is more than this year’s winner of the NaCailin Andruss, tional Book Award for library page, fiction. She’s a bookstore Lawrence owner and has some ideas “I finished the ‘Night for what customers might Angel’ trilogy (by Brent pick up as holiday gifts.

“This was a tough crowd!” Erdrich, who runs Birchbark Books in Minneapolis, wrote in a recent email about her competition.

Erdrich didn’t mention her own novel, “The Jeremy Neely, Round House,” but anothprofessor of American history at Missouri State er author-bookseller took care of that.

very, very moving.”

Patchett had several other suggestions, from Jon Meacham’s biography “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power,” a pick she thinks ideal for men; to Maile Maloy’s “The Apothecary” for middle schoolers. She also loved J.K. Rowling’s first grownup novel, “The Casual Vacancy,” a feeling she made clear in October when she interviewed the “Harry Potter” author on stage at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

Erdrich also cited the illustrated edition of Edmund de Waal’s “The Hare With Amber Eyes,” writing that “it feels lustrous in hand, orderly, pleasing. This is what a book should be.”

Gayle Shanks, owner of the Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe, Ariz., likes the novel “Beautiful Ruins” by Jess Walter; Deb Perlman’s “Smitten Kitchen” cookbook; and Marcus Samuelsson’s memoir “Yes, Chef.”

Barnes & Noble is suggesting works of humor (“The Onion Book of Known Knowledge”), music (an illustrated Rolling Stones biography to mark the band’s 50th anniversary) and history (“Reporting the Revolutionary War”).

Munro’s new collection explores deep ground

By Mike Fischer Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

She is regularly paired with Chekhov. In 2004, Jonathan Franzen suggested she might be “the best fiction writer now working in North America.” In his introduction to the 2012 edition of “The Best American Short Stories,” Tom Perrotta states that she “looms over this year’s collection” as the “master” who has “expanded our sense of what stories can do.”

All true, and all reinforced by the just-pubTeresa Corazzin, lished “Dear Life,” Alice student, Munro’s 13th collection of Overland Park short stories. “‘The Dark Tower’ (by But before turning to Stephen King). It’s the last them, it’s worth focusbook in the Dark Tower ing on the four compelseries. It’s fantastic.” ling pieces that conclude “Dear Life,” individually named but given the collective title of “Finale.”

Munro introduces them by telling us they “are not quite stories” but rather “a separate unit,” “autobio-

graphical in feeling,” that “are the first and last — and the closest — things I have to say about my own life.”

Readers of a quasiautobiographical collection like “The View from Castle Rock” (2006) might raise a skeptical eyebrow at this claim. But it is nevertheless true that these new snapshots tell us a Munro great deal — not just about Munro and her parents, but also about Munro’s stories.

Within “Finale,” we meet a defiantly independent young woman — worshipped by the still-younger Alice — who is killed in her prime.

We watch Alice’s father, “whaling” away at a spirited Alice in an effort to beat “the unkindness out

of me.” We see that same father dreaming of a better life and a different woman, knowing neither one will ever come.

Most of all, we spend time with Munro’s mother — archetype for a figure we first encountered in “Walker Brothers Cowboy” (1968) — who naively “thought that she and my father were going to transform themselves into a different sort of people,” and who turns brittle and narrow as she is slowly destroyed by disease and disappointment.

The 10 stories preceding “Finale” involve similarly divided people, desperately wanting more from life but also ashamed of that need and sure it will — and should — be punished. “Getting or not getting it,” as one of Munro’s characters said in “The Moons of Jupiter” (1978), “you will be to blame.”

In “Dear Life,” the seekers include two young mothers, each abandoning

ostensibly fine but boring marriages; in different ways, both are punished for their transgressions — as are the young daughters who rebel once they suspect what their mothers are doing (“To Reach Japan” and “Gravel”).

Other stories feature women who muster the courage to ask for more — often from emotionally stunted men who can’t find it within themselves to be equally brave.

In “Amundsen,” a young and impressionable schoolteacher gives her heart to an older doctor, as emotionally cold as the northern Ontario sanitarium in which they both work.

In “Pride,” an aging, still-single woman seeks intimacy from an equally lonely man with a harelip; obsessed with his deformity and convinced that nobody could possibly love him, he wonders how he could ever “admit that I was wishing for something I hadn’t got.”

In “Train,” the longest story in the collection, a man who was damaged as a child and who is repulsed by sex continually runs from people when they try to get close to him. “Things could be locked up,” he tells himself.” “It only took some determination.” As we see in a story like “Haven,” there is something alluring about such lockup; battening the hatches ensures we’ll ride out the storm.

But a refusal to set sail for fear of life’s tempests also leaves one stranded in dry dock, until it is too late.

Like the 81-year-old Munro, many of the characters here are older, and they’re often very aware of time. The most perceptive learn the lesson each of these stories teaches: Life is indeed dear and therefore not to be wasted — reason enough to spend one’s days reading and rereading Munro’s magnificent stories.

The bronze figure of Thomas Jefferson rises 19 feet in his Pantheon-style memorial in Washington, D.C. It suits the third president’s oversize life. And it underscores the ongoing debate about his stature, examined in five new books about him.

Jon Meacham’s “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power” (Random House, $35) is an engaging, textured picture of this complex, paradoxical leader and the republic he helped forge.

Meacham, the former Newsweek editor and current editor and executive vice president at Random

H o u s e earned a Pulitzer Prize for “American Lion,” his 2008 biography of Jefferson Andrew Jackson.

Whether discussing Jefferson the intellectual and visionary or the very pragmatic politician; the ardent bon vivant or the self-sufficient farmer, the eloquent voice of freedom or the slave owner, Meacham’s lengthy narrative moves at a brisk pace.

In “Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves” (Farrar,

Straus and Giroux, $28), Henry Wiencek writes an indictment of the slaveholder. Forty percent of Virginians were slaves in Jefferson’s time.

Jefferson tried, but failed, to include anti-slavery language in the Declaration of Independence. Later, he came up with repulsive theories about the inferiority of blacks and “rationalized an abomination to the point where an absolute moral reversal was reached.” Jefferson “constantly moved the boundaries on his moral map to make the horrific tolerable to him.”

“Thomas Jefferson’s Crème Brûlée: How a Founding Father and His Slave James Hemings

Introduced French Cuisine to America” (Quirk, $19.95) chronicles how Hemings accompanied him to Paris to learn French cuisine, which the president adored. Thomas J. Craughwell’s book is a fascinating, curious, lively lagniappe, complete with recipes. For the record, Jefferson loved veggies.

Lavishly illustrated, “A Rich Spot of Earth: Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Garden at Monticello” (Yale University Press, $35) by Peter J. Hatch is all about vegetables. Hatch is director of grounds and gardens at Monticello, which he deems “an Ellis Island” of introduced plants: 330 varieties of 99

species of vegetables and herbs. He offers a taste of history, a study in restoration and a mirror on Jefferson, his harvest and the slave labor that yielded it.

In addition to the garden, Jefferson’s passions contributed to the development of at least four sciences in the United States, including geography, climatology, scientific archaeology and paleontology.

These are the topics of “Jefferson’s Shadow: The Story of His Science” (Yale, $30), a refreshing, wise, far-ranging inquiry by Keith Thomson, professor emeritus of natural history at the University of Oxford and executive officer of the American Philosophical Society.

Light a candle to remember lost loved ones Dear Annie: When a child dies in your family, the world changes, and you will never again be the same person. Life goes on, but priorities change, and remembering the child who has died is an important way of traveling through your grief journey to the other side. The holiday season is especially difficult, as old traditions often give way to new, more meaningful traditions that help to remember the child, sibling or grandchild who has died.

That is why The Compassionate Friends created the Worldwide Candle Lighting. The Compassionate Friends is a national self-help bereavement organization for families going through the natural grieving process after the death of a child. The Worldwide Candle Lighting is held at 7 p.m. local time on the sec-

Annie’s Mailbox

ond Sunday in December. This December 9th marks the 16th worldwide event.

By lighting at 7 p.m. local time, candles first shine an hour west of the International Date Line and an hour later in the next time zone, creating a virtual 24-hour wave of light in remembrance of all children who have died, no matter their age or country of origin.

Hundreds of services open to the public will be held throughout the day, with services in every state, as well as Wash-

A&E may have the worst ‘Boss’ A cookie-cutter combination of “Undercover Boss” and “The Apprentice,” ‘‘Be the Boss” (9 p.m. Sunday, A&E) makes its debut. This shamelessly unoriginal series may not be memorable, but it marks a milestone of sorts.

It represents the moment when product placements completely took over a show, leaving participants with little of their own to say.

Every episode of “Boss” pits two employees of a franchise-based company against each other in a series of business-related tests.

Participants think they’ve been called by the bosses to audition for a new job or a promotion. They have no idea that their prize will be to get a franchise of their very own.

Reality television has often been about office dynamics and work drama.

Folks first flocked to “Survivor” because the scheming shenanigans of people like Richard Hatch reminded them of the fools they had to endure or circumvent on the job.

“The Apprentice” allowed people to play at work assignments and made stars of unknowns before settling into the rut of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

Work as a reality show culminated with the British and American versions of “The Office,” a scripted/improvised comedy pretending to be a documentary about people going to work without doing much work at all.

In many ways, “Boss” is like an episode of “The Office” that’s stripped of every ounce of humor, particularly irony. The first installment features two eager employees of Complete Nutrition, a combination gym and nutritional supplement company. He’s a former Marine and would-be country singer and she’s a former beauty queen who lost her tanning salon business in a bad breakup.

By the end of the episode, you have to pity both of them after they’ve been forced to regurgitate so many pitches for Complete Nutrition and its many products.

Sunday’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): hospital fraud; North Korea’s political prisoners; a solar-powered airplane attempts an around-the-world flight.

The Dallas Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles in “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

Alliances shift and Margaret makes a choice on the season finale of “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO).

Saul takes charge on “Homeland” (9 p.m., Showtime).

Factory fire reveals complexity of global commerce

By Adam Geller Associated Press

In the charred bones of the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory, the labels and logos — sewn and printed in scarlet and royal blue — beckon from the ashes.

Even in ruins, there’s no missing that these T-shirts and jeans were intended for U.S. stores and shopping carts, designed as bargains too good to pass up, or stocking stuffers just in time for the holidays and in just the right size.

But a week after the blaze outside Bangladesh’s capital killed 112 workers, a glaring question remains unanswered: How, exactly, did brands worth fortunes end up in such a place? And what does the odyssey that brings them to market across thousands of miles say about the everyday economics most consumers take for granted?

Retailers and marketers

whose clothes were found in the embers, including Wal-Mart, Sears and Disney, are carefully vague in explaining why that was the case. But piecing together the information they provide with records and the insight of apparel and sourcing experts reveals a complex and evermorphing supply chain, in which Tazreen was just an interchangeable link.

It is a chain whose combination of ultra-low labor costs, maximum flexibility and delegated authority offers undeniable advantages. But it is also comes with considerable risk.

“A lot of people go into the store and see ‘Made in China’ or Bangladesh or India or whatever, and it’s almost like this magical thing, that somebody said I want to make some shirts and it shows up the next day,” says Vinod Rangarajan, who advises apparel companies on product development and

sourcing for consultant Kurt Salmon. “But it is a lot more involved than people would imagine.”

In fact, there is no single answer to how and why so many branded garments from Tazreen found their way to U.S. consumers, because that is precisely the advantage of the global supply chain: It never has to be one size fits all.

Some big retailers buy clothes directly from scores of such factories, searching for the production capacity to meet the demands of the coming season’s fast fashions.

Others work through supply chain managers, independent suppliers or in-country agents. Still other so-called “vertical manufacturers” produce much of their product line in-house but turn to a factory like Tazreen to handle specialty items that fall outside their line of expertise.

AN ABSTRACT LIGHT INSTALLATION REPLACES THE TRADITIONAL Christmas tree Saturday at the Grand Place in Brussels. Traditionally, a 65-foot pine tree from the forests of the Ardennes decorates the city’s central square, the Grand Place.

This year, it has been replaced with an 82-foot construction.

bagged, perfectly folded item that comes with a SKU (stock-keeping unit) number and a price tag,” said Kevin O’Brien, a partner in Ethix Ventures Inc., a Massachusetts distribu-

tor of “ethically sourced” apparel.

That explains why paperwork found in the shell of the burned out factory and its parent bare the names of clothing companies all but unknown to consumers. They include businesses like NTD Apparel Inc., based in Montreal, which sells T-shirts and other goods printed with licensed characters like Hello Kitty and Angry Birds to J.C. Penney, Urban Outfitters and other merchants. It was identified as the recipient of a 2011 auditor’s report deeming Tazreen a “high risk.”

NTD executives did not return phone calls or take questions. In an email from the president, Michael Eliesen, the company said it was not working with Tazreen at the time of the fire. NTD said it hires auditors to ensure factories who make its clothes comply with local health and safety laws.

BEIRUT — Internet and telephone service were restored across much of Syria on Saturday following a two-day, nationwide communications blackout that came d u r i n g some of the worst fighting to hit the cap- Assad ital since July.

Experts say the shutdown was likely caused by President Bashar Assad’s regime, raising fears that the government is taking increasingly bold measures to

cut off the country from the outside world as it tries to crush a relentless rebellion.

Renesys, a U.S.-based network monitoring firm that studies Internet disruptions, said in a statement Saturday that service went back up around 4:32 p.m. local time in Syria, describing it as a “largely complete restoration of the Syrian Internet.”

Mobile telephone networks also appeared to be mostly back up Saturday. A Britain-based activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said it was receiving dispatches from many parts of the country.

Many land lines had remained in working order.

The SANA state news agency said technical teams brought both Inter-

net and telephone services back online Saturday in Damascus and its suburbs.

The communications blackout began Thursday, raising fears of a burst of fighting outside the public eye. The government and rebels have blamed each other for cutting the lines.

Syrian rebels are fighting a 20-month-old revolt against the Assad regime.

Activists say some 40,000 people have been killed in the crisis, which began with pro-democracy protests but has morphed into a civil war.

On Saturday, SANA reported a car bomb exploded in the Damascus neighborhood of Ish Alwarwar.

There was no immediate word on casualties.

Diagnosis manual drops Asperger’s South Africa makes

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

CHICAGO — The now familiar term “Asperger’s disorder” is being dropped. And abnormally bad and frequent temper tantrums will be given a scientific-sounding diagnosis called DMDD. But “dyslexia” and other learning disorders remain.

The revisions come in the first major rewrite in nearly 20 years of the diagnostic guide used by the nation’s psychiatrists. Changes were approved Saturday.

Full details of all the revisions will come next May when the American Psychiatric Association’s new diagnostic manual is published, but the impact will be huge, affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. The manual also is important for the insurance industry in deciding what treatment to pay for, and it helps schools decide how to allot special education.

This diagnostic guide

The aim is not to expand the number of people diagnosed with mental illness, but to ensure that affected children and adults are more accurately diagnosed so they can get the most appropriate treatment, said Dr. David Kupfer, chairman of the task force in charge of revising the manual. “defines what constellations of symptoms” doctors recognize as mental disorders, said Dr. Mark Olfson, a Columbia University psychiatry professor.

More important, he said, it “shapes who will receive what treatment. Even seemingly subtle changes to the criteria can have substantial effects on patterns of care.”

Olfson was not involved in the revision process.

The changes were approved Saturday in suburban Washington, D.C., by the psychiatric association’s board of trustees.

The aim is not to expand the number of people diagnosed with mental illness, but to ensure that affected children and adults are

more accurately diagnosed so they can get the most appropriate treatment, said Dr. David Kupfer. He was chairman of the task force in charge of revising the manual and is a psychiatry professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

One of the most hotly argued changes was how to define the various ranges of autism. Some advocates opposed the idea of dropping the specific diagnosis for Asperger’s disorder.

People with that disorder often have high intelligence and vast knowledge on narrow subjects but lack social skills. Some who have the condition embrace their quirkiness and vow to continue to use the label.

And some Asperger’s families opposed any change, fearing their kids would lose a diagnosis and no longer be eligible for special services.

But the revision will not affect their education services, experts say.

The new manual adds the term “autism spectrum disorder.” Asperger’s disorder will be dropped and incorporated under that umbrella diagnosis. The new category will include kids with severe autism, who often don’t talk or interact, as well as those with milder forms.

People with dyslexia also were closely watching for the new updated doctors’ guide. Many with the reading disorder did not want their diagnosis to be dropped. And it won’t be.

Instead, the new manual will have a broader learning disorder category to cover several conditions including dyslexia, which causes difficulty understanding letters and recognizing written words.

Rumors of vampire ghost spreading in Serbia ZAROZJE, SERBIA (AP) — Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.

Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests.

They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear — and a potential tourist opportunity — through the remote village.

A local council warned villagers to put garlic in their pockets and place wooden crosses in their rooms to ward off vampires, although it appeared designed more to attract visitors to the impoverished region bordering Bosnia.

Many of the villagers are aware that Sava Savanovic, Serbia’s most famous vampire, is a fairy tale. Still, they say, better to take it seriously than risk succumbing to the vampire’s fangs.

“The story of Sava Savanovic is a legend, but strange things did occur in these parts back in the old days,” said 55-year-old housewife Milka Prokic, holding a string of garlic in one hand and a large wooden stake in another.

“We have inherited this legend from our ancestors, and we keep it alive for the younger generations.”

Vampire legends have played a prominent part in the Balkans for centu-

ries — most prominently Dracula from Romania’s Transylvania region. In the 18th century, the legends sometimes triggered mass hysteria and even public executions of those accused of being vampires.

Sava Savanovic, described by the Zarozje villagers as Serbia’s first vampire, reputedly drank the blood of those who came to the small shack in the dense oak tree forest to mill their grain on the clear mountain Rogatica river.

The wooden mill collapsed a few months ago — allegedly angering the vampire, who is now looking for a new place to hang his cape.

Some locals claim they can hear steps cracking dry

forest leaves and strange sounds coming from the rocky mountain peaks where the vampire was purportedly killed with a sharp stake that pierced his heart — but managed to survive in spirit as a butterfly.

“Five people have recently died one after another in our small community, one hanging himself,” said Miodrag Vujetic, a local municipal council member. “This is not by accident.”

Vujetic, however, said that “whatever is true about Sava,” locals should use the legend to promote tourism.

“If Romanians could profit on the Dracula legend with the tourists visiting Transylvania, why can’t we do the same with Sava?”

progress in fight against HIV, AIDS “

JOHANNESBURG — In the early ’90s when South Africa’s Themba Lethu clinic could only treat HIV/AIDS patients for opportunistic diseases, many would come in on wheelchairs and keep coming to the health center until they died.

Two decades later the clinic is the biggest antiretroviral, or ARV, treatment center in the country and sees between 600 to 800 patients a day from all over southern Africa.

Those who are brought in on wheelchairs, sometimes on the brink of death, get the crucial drugs and often become healthy and are walking within weeks.

“The ARVs are called the ‘Lazarus drug’ because people rise up and walk,” said Sue Roberts, who has been a nurse at the clinic, run by Right to Care in Johannesburg’s Helen Joseph Hospital, since it opened its doors in 1992. She said they recently treated a woman who was pushed in a wheelchair for 1.8 miles to avoid a taxi fare and who was so sick it was touch and go. Two weeks later, the woman walked to the clinic, Roberts said.

Such stories of hope and progress are readily available on World AIDS Day 2012 in sub-Saharan Africa where deaths from AIDSrelated causes have declined by 32 percent from 1.8 million in 2005 to 1.2 million in 2011, according to the latest UNAIDS report.

As people around the world celebrate a reduction in the rate of HIV infections, the growth of the clinic, which was one of only a few to open its doors 20 years ago, reflects how changes

Now, you can’t not get better. It’s just one of these win-win situations. You test, you treat and you get better, end of story.”

— Dr. Kay Mahomed, who works at Themba Lethu clinic in Johannesburg in treatment and attitude toward HIV and AIDS have moved South Africa forward. The nation, which has the most people living with HIV in the world at 5.6 million, still faces stigma and high rates of infection.

President Jacob Zuma’s government decided to give the best care, including TB screening and care at the clinic, and not to look at the cost, she said.

South Africa has increased the numbers treated for HIV by 75 percent in the last two years, UNAIDS said, and new HIV infections have fallen by more than 50,000 in those two years. South Africa has also increased its domestic expenditure on AIDS to $1.6 billion, the highest by any low-and middle-income country, the group said.

Themba Lethu clinic, with funding from the government, the United States Agency for International Development and the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, is now among some 2,500 anti-retroviral therapy facilities in the country that treat approximately 1.9 million people.

“Now, you can’t not get better. It’s just one of these win-win situations. You test, you treat and you get better, end of story,” Mahomed said.
