A new plan to narrow the scope of a proposed rental licensing and inspection program has emerged at Lawrence City Hall.

M a y o r Mike Dever and Commissioner Mike Amyx have proposed a new ordinance that would cut by more than Dever half the number of items an inspector could cite as a violation during an inspection of a rental unit. The ordinance also would Amyx sunset the new program at the end of 2017, meaning commissioners at that time would have to take a vote to extend the program or it automatically would end.

“I feel like we should start with small bites on this,” Dever said of Please see RENTAL, page 2A

Basics of the plan The city’s proposed program essentially would cover every rental unit the city. Here are some details:

Every apartment unit in the city would be required to register with the city each year. But city officials will inspect only a portion of units each year.

Under normal circumstances, landlords would have 10 percent of their total units in the city — up to a maximum of 15 units — inspected once every three years.

Landlords could qualify for an incentive that would allow their properties to go six years between inspections. Properties would qualify for the incentive if they previously passed a city inspection with no major violations.

The city plans to hire five-full time inspectors and an administrative staff position for the program. The approximately $400,000 in program costs would be paid for through registration and inspection fees paid by landlords.

not declared a position on it because you’re seeing the federal government adjust monthly, Obamacare. They may adjust this one.”

Supporters of expanding Medicaid through the ACA say Brownback, by not pushing for expansion, has taken a position of denying health care coverage to many Kansans.

“It really is on his desk and we await his decision,” said state Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita.

Kansas stands to lose $767 million in federal dollars for health care coverage if it doesn’t expand Medicaid, according to a recent report by The Commonwealth Fund, which describes itself as a private foundation working toward a high performance health system.

A key provision of the

ACA provides for states to expand Medicaid to residents with incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $15,856 for a person, and $32,499 for a family of four. The federal government will pay all the costs for the expansion through 2016 and phase down its support to no less than 90 percent of the cost.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could decide whether to expand.

Brownback has been an ardent and longtime critic of the ACA. “I thought the easy piece of it was the health exchanges and that has had huge problems,” he told a group of reporters on Thursday.

the program, which would cover essentially every rental unit in the city.

Both Dever and Amyx have expressed concern about the proposed program becoming broader than its original purpose, which was to ensure basic life, health and safety codes were being met in the approximately 18,000 rental units across the city.

As a result, the pair is proposing to delete 38 of the 66 different items that previously were proposed as potential rental license violations. Some of the proposed deletions include exterior issues such as uncut grass or improperly parked vehicles on the property. But other

proposed deletions include requirements such as: handrails for balconies and decks; minimum ceiling heights for habitable rooms; and certain requirements for kitchen and food preparation areas.

But Dever said it was important to note that the deleted items would continue to remain in the city’s code, and landlords could face a fine if they don’t fix the items.

For example, if an inspector sees a balcony with a broken railing, the violation could be noted and paperwork could be filed that would require the landlord to fix the railing or face a fine. But unlike the previous proposal, the city could not deny a landlord a rental license for the property if the railing is not fixed.

Kirk Spikes had an idea.

With a little work, maybe he could get those hours together and surprise his dad with a degree at his milestone birthday party.

Kirk Spikes called Rutgers, then the KU registrar’s office and School of Engineering, which pulled Warren Spikes’ records from the archives and started putting credits from the two schools together. Ultimately, KU determined Spikes was eligible for a degree based on the KU curriculum in 1945. KU mailed the diploma with a few days to spare before the party.

By that time, a number of people in the small town of Hugoton were in on the plan but managed to keep it a secret, Kirk Spikes said.

When he was handed the diploma — with royal blue matting and a cherrywood frame — during his party, Spikes thought it was a joke.

When he realized it

From the start, Rosenthal was more than a toptier wire service newsman, fast and accurate. He was a wordsmith. He sweated the details, then turned those details into irresistible prose.

In the old days when newsrooms still reeked of cigarettes, he would smoke and pace and fret while pondering just how he wanted to tell a story.

“Writing bugs me,” he said, “but it’s the only way I like to make a living.”

Curiosity, Rosenthal believed, was the essence of good reporting.

“My own approach to an interview is the same one I had at 16 when I went to my first burlesque show,” he said.

“I had an idea of what to expect but I wanted to see for

myself.”

Rosenthal strolled with Truman in Independence, Mo., as the retired president reflected on his decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan at the end of World War II. He covered Dwight Eisenhower back home in Kansas, Richard Nixon in his downfall and death, and presidents through to Bill Clinton before he retired from the AP in 1997.

He said then he wished he could write the human story of five more decades. He had a nose for the kind of story people wanted to read.

“We call them ‘Hey, Martha’ stories,” Rosenthal said.

“Which is, the guy sitting at the breakfast table and saying, ‘Hey, Martha, did you see this?’ You want a story with impact.”

volve standards of safety.”

Reaction to the idea of the ordinance possibly facing a sunset at the end of 2017 is also generating concern. Both Farmer and Riordan said they potentially have concerns about that idea. Farmer previously had proposed the city run a small-scale pilot project to learn more information about how the city’s inspection processes would work.

But he said he was worried about fully creating the program — which would include hiring five new inspectors — only to have it perhaps be disbanded in three years.

“A sunset provision also really will make this an election issue again in two years,” Farmer said.

Commissioners will discuss the latest proposal at their 6:35 p.m. m e e t i n g on Tuesday at City Hall.

wasn’t, Spikes said he was honored and “certainly glad to have it.”

He plans to participate in the KU School of Engineering’s fall graduation ceremony on Saturday, where he’s hoping to blend in as much as possible with his now-white hair.

Situations like Spikes’ are very unusual but worth the effort, said Brian McDow of the KU registrar’s office.

“We believe that anyone who has earned a degree from the University of Kansas should receive it,” McDow said. “Conferring a degree to Mr. Spikes is another example of the important work done by the staff in the Office of the University Registrar and it is something we would do for any student who meets the academic requirements of their program.”

understand why they want to put it in such a populated area. They should be in corn fields and farm fields. There are a lot of houses in this area.”

Dick said a company representative he spoke with told him the structures would be 400 feet tall, from the ground to the edge of a wind blade pointed straight up.

He said the company’s offer called for paying a $1,000 signing bonus, plus $1,000 per year to secure an option for an easement. That would give the company up to six years to execute the option, which would involve a longterm lease for the location of a tower, plus road access to the structure.

He said the company is looking at an area in southern Douglas County, generally between U.S. Highway 59 and Overbrook in Osage County.

Stengel did not confirm those details.

He said NextEra currently has wind energy developments in more sparsely populated western Kansas. But he said the company is always looking for new potential sites, and one of the factors it considers is the cost of transmitting wind-generated power to population centers where energy is needed.

Douglas County commissioners voted this week to impose a moratorium through April 30 on any development applications for wind farms to give county officials time to draft zoning regulations that would apply specifically to them.

Stengel, however, said it would probably take a minimum of two years before NextEra might be ready to submit an application.

KU gains ground in research rankings

Airport employee arrested in bomb plot

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — A Kansas man was arrested Friday on charges that he planned to set off a car bomb at the Wichita airport in an attack intended to support al-Qaida, authorities said.

Terry Lee Loewen, a 58-year-old avionics technician who worked at the airport, was arrested before dawn as tried to enter the tarmac in a vehicle he believed was loaded with high explosives.

But the materials in the car were inert, and no one at the airport was in any immediate danger, authorities said.

Loewen, who lives in Wichita, had been under investigation for about six months after making online statements to an undercover agent about wanting to commit “violent jihad” against the United States, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

Authorities said Loewen spent months studying the layout of the Mid-Continent Regional Airport, its flight patterns and other details to maximize fatalities and damage. During that time, he developed a plan with other conspirators to use his employee access card to pull off the attack. The conspirators were actually undercover FBI agents.

Loewen planned to die in the explosion, a fate that he said was inevitable in his quest to become a martyr in a jihad against America, according to court documents.

Authorities said they believe Loewen acted alone.

No other arrests were expected.

In his online conversations, Loewen talked about downloading documents about jihad, martyrdom and an al-Qaida “manual.” He frequently expressed admiration for Anwar Al-Awlaki, the American-born al-Qaida Please see BOMB, page 4A

GARY STRONG, OWNER OF STRONG’S ANTIQUES at 1025 Massachusetts St., talks on the phone with an insurance adjuster on Thursday as he’s surrounded by broken antiques in his store after a crash last weekend sent the motor of the car into his store causing severe damage.

Strong’s Antiques waiting to find out insurance estimates from car crash

By Elliot Hughes ehughes@ljworld.com

A week after a car crashed into a concrete sidewalk planter and sent debris flying through the facade of Strong’s Antiques on Massachusetts Street, damage estimates are only beginning to come in.

Storeowner Gary Strong said he’s met with an insurance adjuster and structural engineer and is awaiting estimates. The store has remained in disarray since the accident for insurance and police inspections, and Strong said he has no timeline of when he can begin the cleanup and reopen.

According to an accident report, a vehicle driven by Dana Jones, 38, of Johnson County, was traveling north on Massachusetts Street when Jones lost control and the vehicle left the road in the 1000 block shortly after 3 a.m. last Saturday.

As of Thursday,

WORKERS BOARD UP THE FRONT OF STRONG’S ANTIQUES, 1025 Massachusetts St., early last Saturday morning after a car crashed into the city cement planter and the storefront.

Jones was in fair condition at Kansas University Hospital, according to Bob Hallinan, a spokesperson. An update on a passenger, Anastasia Brothers, 22, of Lawrence, was not available.

Megan Gilliland, a spokeswoman for the city of Lawrence, said the city estimates a cost of $2,600, not including

labor, to replace a damaged light pole. The costs associated with the damaged planter, a sidewalk bench and tree are not yet known, she said.

Strong said the engine of the vehicle flew through the windows and hit a wall inside.

Cary Strong, Gary’s son and owner of neighboring Aimee’s Cafe and

Coffeehouse, said the store’s best items were recently placed up front for window viewing.

Now what’s left are shards of glass and china on the floor.

“The whole front of the store has to be rebuilt,” Gary Strong said.

“The whole framework, the header. It tore the whole front of the store pretty much off.”

Kansas University is gaining ground in national rankings for the amount of federally funded research it conducts, but officials are still concerned about the long-term impact that federal sequestration budget cuts could have on the future of academic and scientific research.

“The U.S. now lags many countries in government funding for research as a share of gross domestic product,” said Steve Warren, vice chancellor for research and gradu- Warren ate studies at KU. “That situation will only get worse unless Congress acts to reverse the trend.”

During fiscal year 2012, federal research expenditures at KU exceeded $171 million, placing it 38th among public universities in the United States, and 72nd among all universities.

In 2011, KU ranked 39th and 75th in those categories respectively.

The rankings are based on a survey by the National Science Foundation, which tracks all federal research dollars spent each year.

The 2012 rankings place KU second among Big 12 universities, below the University of Texas, which ranked 30th. Kansas State University placed 132nd. Other area universities in the survey included Wichita State University, at 229th; the University of Missouri-Kansas City, at 234th; Haskell Indian Nations University, at 431st; and Pittsburg State University, at 552nd.

Judge sends voter citizenship lawsuit back to federal election officials

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — A federal judge sent back to federal elections officials Friday a request by Kansas and Arizona to force modifications in a national voter registration form so the states can fully enforce proof-of-citizenship requirements for their residents.

U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren gave the U.S. Election Assistance Commission until Jan. 17 to make a final agency decision on the requests by

the two states but kept control of the lawsuit in anticipation of further court proceedings.

The commission has told the states it has deferred acting on the request until it has a quorum of commissioners.

The panel has been without a Melgren quorum since about 2010 and has been without any commissioners since 2011, the

judge noted in his order.

Melgren found there has been no final agency decision, essentially making a jurisdictional ruling in the case. But he noted that the Justice Department has argued that even without commissioners the agency can act upon the states’ requests.

If the commission doesn’t act by the courtimposed deadline, the state requests will be deemed denied, Melgren said.

The judge told a packed courtroom that he has serious reservations the commission is capable

ăşńê ĪăĒŶê¼ńĪ|ļŒĪÏĒĒ®ĪĉêÖäŒùêϼĪ

of rendering a decision.

He also said he has serious reservations about the federal government’s power to rule on the voter registration issue.

The states want the federal form to include instructions requiring Kansas and Arizona residents to provide a birth certificate, passport or other proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.

The Justice Department says such a change places an additional obstacle for eligible voters and would affect nationwide policy by setting a precedent.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Arizona counterpart Ken Bennett want the federal court to order the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to include instructions on the federal form that would require Kansas and Arizona residents to provide a birth certificate, passport or other proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.

Kobach has pushed the proof-of-citizenship policy as a way to prevent noncitizens — particularly immigrants living in the U.S. without legal permis-

sion — from registering and possibly voting.

The U.S. Justice Department, which is representing the election commission, has argued that changing the requirements on the federal form for residents of Kansas and Arizona would in essence affect nationwide policy because it might encourage every state to seek increased proof of citizenship in order to register for federal elections.

Kevin Boatright, a spokesman in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, noted that federal dollars fund a wide variety of research projects at KU, ranging from medical research to education and the humanities.

In October 2012, KU was awarded the largest federal research grant in the school’s history, $24.5 million from the U.S. Department of Education for a five-year project at the SWIFT Center helping schools implement new strategies for teaching special education students in the same setting with regular students.

— Steve Warren, KU vice chancellor for research and graduate studies Grants from the National Institutes of Health are funding research at KU into the molecular analysis of disease pathways, as well as speedier ways to make new medical treatments available to patients. “Research is never about the money,� Warren said, “but objective rankings such as this reflect well on KU researchers at all campuses.�

Although the NIH survey only included federal research expenditures, Warren noted that KU is working to expand its

funding base by cultivating more industry and foundation support.

Still, federal grants accounted for 87 percent of all research funding at KU during 2012.

During 2013, however, federal research grants have become scarce because of across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration, which went into effect March 1 after Congress and the White House failed to reach agreement on a budget package. Those cuts could remain in effect for anoth-

In September, the undercover agent told Loewen he had returned from overseas after meeting with individuals connected with al-Qaida. The agent told him the “brothers� were excited to hear about his access to the airport and asked Loewen if he would be willing to plant some type of device, the documents said. “Wow! That’s some heavy stuff you just laid down. Am I interested?

Yes. I still need time to think about it, but I can’t

imagine anything short of arrest stopping me,�

Loewen told the agent, adding he needed to let Allah guide him.

He also asked for reassurances that he wasn’t being set up, saying his greatest fear was not completing the operation.

The criminal complaint also details a meeting in November with other undercover agents in which they discussed executing the plan prior to Christmas in order to cause the greatest physical and eco-

nomic damage. He also provided components from his employer that the agents requested to wire the fake explosive device, according to court documents.

On Wednesday, Loewen met with another undercover agent and helped assemble the false bomb.

He was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to damage property and attempting to provide support to terrorist group al-Qaida.

Kansas Rep. Lynn Jenkins, vice chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, said voting for the spending package was “the only responsible option� for the Kansas economy and controlling federal spending. The bill passed 332-94.

Construction has already

er eight years unless a new agreement is reached. “Our concern is that in the next year and the year after, the pipeline of grants is drying up,�

Boatright said. “There are entire agencies saying we’re not going to give any more grants because we don’t know about our funding future. Others are giving fewer grants. And there are other grants that are not being renewed.�

Earlier this week, however, House and Senate negotiators appeared to reach a bipartisan agreement that reportedly would reduce or eliminate the sequestration cuts, but would still impose other, general funding cuts across many federal agencies that could have the same effect of reducing federal research funding.

Democrats request Kansas voter law study

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Democrats in Congress have requested a Government Accountability Office report on the impact in Kansas of the voter ID law, according U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts.

The GAO is the audit, evaluation and investigative arm of Congress. The report is expected to be completed this summer.

Roberts, a Kansas Republican, brought up the matter earlier this week during a hearing of the Senate Rules and Admin-

istration Committee on nominations of two people by President Barack Obama to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which provides guidance on voting issues.

Roberts opposes the nominations and noted that Republicans have called for elimination of the EAC. Even Democrats have indicated they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supportive of the EAC, he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here today because the majority says we need to preserve the EAC, but when majority

members of this committee want a study done on a voting issue, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the EAC is up to the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they think the GAO is better able to do these studies, what do we need the EAC for?â&#x20AC;? Roberts said.

A spokesperson for Democratic leaders on the issue did not return a request for information on why they wanted the study done.

Roberts said he was informed the GAO study was to look at voter ID re-

quirements in Kansas and Tennessee.

The Kansas law was implemented at the urging of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who said requiring photo ID to vote was needed to stop noncitizens from voting.

Voting rights and minority groups have said the ID requirement suppresses voter turnout and that voter fraud at the polls was nearly nonexistent. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Covert kindness

School workers plead was jeopardizing his job by his plan to wed, not guilty in rape case publicizing as well as those who worry

STEUBENVILLE, OHIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four eastern Ohio school workers entered not guilty pleas Friday to charges stemming from a grand jury investigation into other alleged crimes spurred by the rape of a 16-year-old girl by two high school football players.

The four include Mike McVey, Steubenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top school official, whose attorney promised to fight the charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are confident that we are going to prevail in these cases and prove theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unfounded,â&#x20AC;? said McVeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Charles Bean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an investigation that went nine months, and this is all they have?â&#x20AC;?

Special Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove accepted the not-guilty pleas Friday in Jefferson County court and let the four remain free without bond. In total, six individuals have been indicted by the rape investigation grand jury, whose work is finished.

McVey and three others are charged with trying to thwart the investigation into the August 2012 rape of the West Virginia girl by the football players. The players were convicted in March and sentenced to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juvenile detention system.

VALERIE DAVAL REACTS TO RECEIVING A $100 BILL FROM SECRET SANTA, right, a man from Kansas City who prefers to remain anonymous, at a Salvation Army thrift store in Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lincoln Heights neighborhood on Friday. He is a wealthy businessman who goes around anonymously at Christmas time, handing $100 bills to people he spies in places such as thrift stores, laundromats, health clinics, assistance centers and shelters. He gives away tens of thousands of dollars each year with no tax benefits.

Gunman, 18, wounds classmate in Colorado high school shooting CENTENNIAL, COLO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A teenager who may have had a grudge against a teacher opened fire on Friday with a shotgun at a suburban Denver high school, wounding a fellow student before killing himself.

Quick-thinking students at Arapahoe High School alerted the targeted teacher, who quickly left the building. The scene unfolded on the eve of the Newtown massacre anniversary, a somber reminder of the ever-pres-

ent potential for violence in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools.

The wounded student, a 15-year-old girl, underwent surgery and was in critical condition. Authorities originally said a second student was wounded, but Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said Friday night that the other girl taken to a hospital was covered in blood from the first student and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t injured.

Robinson identified the shooter as Karl Halverson Pierson, 18. The

sheriff did not elaborate on any possible motive except to say Pierson had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;confrontation or disagreementâ&#x20AC;? with the teacher. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the injured girl was intentionally shot.

Pierson made no attempt to hide his weapon after entering the school from a parking lot and asking for the teacher by name, Robinson said.

When the teacher learned that he was being targeted, he left â&#x20AC;&#x153;in an effort to try to encourage

the shooter to also leave the school,â&#x20AC;? the sheriff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a very wise tactical decision.â&#x20AC;?

Two suspected Molotov cocktails were also found inside the school, the sheriff said. Robinson said one was lit and thrown, but no one was injured.

The school was swiftly locked down. Within 20 minutes of the first report of a gunman, officers found Piersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body inside the school, Robinson said.

the negative publicity is unfairly labeling the Bensalem school as intolerant.

The case started last week when Griffin informed the principal, via email, that he would be late to a staff meeting because he was getting a marriage license.

Griffin and his partner live in Mount Laurel, N.J., a state where gay marriage is legal.

Same-sex unions are not sanctioned under church teachings, which Griffin was required to uphold as a condition of his employment. School officials say they respected Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private life until his email forced the issue.

Toyota to enter settlement talks

SANTA ANNA, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a four-year legal battle, Toyota is entering settlement talks on nearly 400 state and federal lawsuits that allege sudden unintended acceleration problems with its vehicles led to deaths and injuries.

Joint motions filed late Thursday in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana and Los Angeles County Superior Court indicated both sides would begin an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intensive settlement processâ&#x20AC;? next month.

More purges may follow execution in North Korea

By Eric Talmadge and Foster Klug Associated Press

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The execution of North Korean leader Kim Jong Unâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle brought a swift and violent end to a man long considered the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second most powerful figure. But while Jang Song Thaek is now gone, the fallout from his purge is not over.

In a stunning reversal of the popular image of Jang as a mentor and father figure guiding young Kim Jong Un as he consolidated power, North KoJang reaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staterun media announced Friday he had been executed, portraying him as a morally corrupt traitor who saw the death of Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Kim Jong Il, in December 2011 as an opportunity to make his own power play.

Experts who study the authoritarian country, which closely guards its internal workings from both outsiders and citizens, were divided on whether the sudden turn of events reflected turmoil within the highest levels of power or signaled that Kim Jong Un was consolidating his power in a decisive show of strength.

Either way, the purge is an unsettling development for a

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Obama administration faced intensified pressure Friday to find former CIA contractor Robert Levinson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both from lawmakers and the Levinson family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly seven years after he disappeared in Iran during what now has been revealed as an unofficial spy mission.

Levinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family urged the government â&#x20AC;&#x153;to step up and take care of one of its own.â&#x20AC;?

Levinson vanished after a March 2007 meeting with an admitted killer on Kish Island, an Iranian resort. For years, the U.S. publicly described him as a private citizen who traveled to the tiny Persian Gulf island on business.

But an Associated Press investigation revealed that Levinson actually was a contractor working for the CIA, and he was

The first appearance of the new narrative came out just days ago, when North Korea accused Jang, 67, of corruption, womanizing, gambling and taking drugs.

Does religion get lost in the commercialism that affects the holidays?

U.S. faces pressure because of missing CIA contractor

By Lara Jakes

Saturday, December 14, 2013

The truth of Christmas still prevails

paid by a team of agency analysts who were acting without authority to run spy operations to gather intelligence.

If he is still alive at age 65, Levinson has been captive longer than any other American known to be held overseas.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Levinson, who retired after 28 years at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, was not a U.S. employee at the time of his disappearance.

A contractor would not be considered a government employee, but the CIA paid Levinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family about $120,000, the value of the new contract the agency was preparing for him when he left for Iran, and the government gave the family a $2.5 million annuity, which provides tax-free income, multiple people briefed on the deal said. No one wanted a lawsuit that would air the secret details.

Doug Heacock, contemporary worship leader and director of media and communications, Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave.: Decrying the commercialism surrounding Christmas has more or less become a clichĂŠ in our time.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much a given that this season is ripe with opportunities for businesses to make a buck, and, for the most part, American consumers play right along.

If that seems like a cynical take on the season, please understand that this writer wrestled with the commercialism of the season a long, long time ago, and has chosen to accept it for what it is. Yes, there was a time when I found myself getting mad about commercial opportunism that was attached to the sacred celebration of the Saviorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth. But then one day I realized that this is a season in which people who rarely darken the doorways of a church are, for a few weeks, immersed in the truths of the incarnation of Christ, whether they realize it or not, and whether they choose to believe them or not.

While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Claus is Coming to Townâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jingle Bell Rockâ&#x20AC;? in the air Heacock this time of year, there are also strains of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joy to the Worldâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hark!

The Herald Angels Singâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; songs that spell out in no uncertain terms the good news of the arrival of Jesus, a.k.a. Emmanuel (â&#x20AC;&#x153;God with usâ&#x20AC;?), into the world of human beings at a specific place on planet Earth, at a specific time in history.

Almost everyone who is out there shopping (or selling) at this time of year is also hearing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hark! The herald angels sing, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Glory to the newborn King!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.â&#x20AC;? What people do with that information is their business, I suppose, but these days I find myself looking past the crass commercialism to the truth that is literally all around us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and rejoicing.

Obama shows little aptitude for governing WASHINGTON — In explaining the disastrous rollout of Obamacare, President Obama told Chris Matthews he had discovered that “we have these big agencies, some of which are outdated, some of which are not designed properly.”

An interesting discovery to make after having consigned the vast universe of American medicine, one-sixth of the U.S. economy, to the tender mercies of the agency bureaucrats at the De-

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Barack Obama is not just late to discover the most elementary workings of government.

With alarming regularity, he professes obliviousness to the workings of his own government.”

partment of Health and Human Services and the Internal Revenue Service.

Most people become aware of the hopeless inefficiency of sclerotic government by, oh, 17 at the department of motor vehicles. Obama’s late discovery is especially remarkable considering that he built his entire political philosophy on

the rock of Big Government, on the fervent belief in the state as the very engine of collective action and the ultimate source of national greatness. (Indeed, of individual success as well, as in “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.

Somebody else made that happen.”)

This blinding revelation of the ponderous incompetence of bureaucratic government came just a few weeks after Obama confessed that “what we’re also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy.” Another light bulb goes off, this one three years after passing a law designed to force millions of Americans to shop for new health plans via the maze of untried, untested, insecure, unreliable online “exchanges.”

This discovery joins a long list that includes Obama’s rueful admission that there really are no shovel-ready jobs.

That one came after having passed his monstrous $830 billion stimulus

on the argument that the weakened economy would be “jump-started” by a massive infusion of shovel-ready jobs. Now known to be fictional.

Barack Obama is not just late to discover the most elementary workings of government. With alarming regularity, he professes obliviousness to the workings of his own government. He claims, for example, to have known nothing about the IRS targeting scandal, the AP phone records scandal, the NSA tapping of Angela Merkel. And had not a clue that the centerpiece of his signature legislative achievement — the online Obamacare “exchange,” three years in the making — would fail catastrophically upon launch. Or that Obamacare would cause millions of Americans to lose their private health plans.

Hence the odd spectacle of a president expressing surprise and disappointment in the federal government — as if he’s not the one running it.

Hence the repeated noone-is-more-upset-thanme posture upon deploring the nonfunctioning website, the IRS outrage, the AP intrusions and any number of scandals from which Obama tries to create safe distance by posing as an observer. He gives the impression of a man on a West Wing tour trying out the desk in the Oval Office, only to be told that he is president of the United States.

The paradox of this presidency is that this most passive bystander president is at the same time the most ideologically ambitious in decades.

The sweep and scope of his health care legislation alone are unprecedented.

He’s spent billions of tax dollars attempting to create, by fiat and ex nihilo, a new green economy. His (failed) cap-and-trade bill would have given him regulatory control of the energy economy.

He wants universal preschool and has just announced his unwavering commitment to slaying the dragon of economic

inequality, which, like the poor, has always been with us.

Obama’s discovery that government bureaucracies don’t do things very well creates a breathtaking disconnect between his transformative ambitions and his detachment from the job itself. How does his Olympian vision coexist with the lassitude of his actual governance, a passivity that verges on absenteeism?

What bridges that gap is rhetoric. Barack Obama is a master rhetorician. It’s allowed him to move crowds, rise inexorably and twice win the most glittering prize of all. Rhetoric has changed his reality. For Obama, it can change the country’s.

Hope and change, after all, is a rhetorical device.

Of the kind Obama has always imagined can move mountains.

That’s why his reaction to the Obamacare website’s crash-on-takeoff is so telling. His remedy? A cross-country campaignstyle speaking tour. As if rhetoric could repeal that reality.

Managing, governing, negotiating, cajoling, crafting legislation, forging compromise. For these — this stuff of governance — Obama has shown little aptitude and even less interest. Perhaps, as Valerie Jarrett has suggested, he is simply too easily bored to invest his greatness in such mundanity.

“I don’t write code,” said Obama in reaction to the website crash. Nor is he expected to. He is, however, expected to run an administration that can.

PUBLIC FORUM

Saving energy To the editor: My name is Thomas White, I’m an eighth-grader and I’m writing to you concerning energy conservation. My main concern is the new parking ramp that is next to the outdoor public pool.

The lights are on 24/7 and no matter what weather, or time of day, you will always be able to read a book under those lights. I believe that they should be toned down a bit and not on as long.

The city could save money, reduce light pollution and save energy.

Also, I would like to congratulate the city on their excellent Christmas light display, and appreciate their use of extremely energy efficient LED lights. I have always loved this time of year and believe that they did a great job this year.

Thomas White, Lawrence

Privacy concerns To the editor: The proposed rental registration ordinance currently under consideration by the City Commission requires Lawrence citizens to open their homes to code enforcement officers with digital video and audio recording equipment.

The right to privacy is a fundamental liberty. The proposed inspections will record innumerable aspects of the occupants’ private lives which would then become public record.

Here are a few, fertile grounds for abuse:

politics and political activities, as displayed in posters, books and other materials;

reading habits, including books, newspapers, and magazines;

movie-viewing habits, whether political, literary or sexual;

protected-class information, in-

cluding race, national origin, creed or sexual preference;

religious (or nonreligious) beliefs, affiliations and practices, which may be unpopular or a subject of discrimination in the locality;

family and other intimate and nonintimate relationships, as well as the sex and identity of other occupants, as revealed in photographs and other personal effects;

group associations, e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous;

personal habits, hygiene preferences based on personal and or religious beliefs;

hobbies and interests, from the ordinary to what some may find disturbing;

intimate preferences, practices and characteristics, whether lawful or unlawful, which may conflict with the occupants’ avowed religious faith or otherwise open them to ridicule in their community;

private, and possibly embarrassing, dietary practices.

There is bitter truth in the editors’ comments on this subject, an apparent willingness of those who are not immediately affected to look the other way as “other” people’s homes are surveilled, “other” people’s rights are violated. It is glaringly obvious — particularly to those “other” people.

UNM wary of KU revival

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — It should be interesting to see how perennial basketball powerhouse Kansas University reacts tonight as it tries to shake a slump that has accounted for three losses in four games.

“You will see (one of) two game plans,” first-year New Mexico coach Craig “Noodles” Neal said of the Jayhawks, who take a 6-3 record into today’s contest against his 7-1 Lobos, set for a 6 p.m. tipoff in Sprint Center.

“You will see a team that will be really, really solid K.C. and get back to trying to SHOOTOUT be cohesive, or find a team Who: New really, really Mexico (7-1) (ticked) off vs. Kansas and they will (6-3) come out and When: 6 p.m. try to knock today us out in the Where: first round. Sprint CenWe’ve got ter, Kansas to be ready City, Mo. for both and be ready to TV: ESPN2 w i t h s t a n d (WOW cable that. I mean, chs. 34, you are play- 234) ing in a venue of 19,000 people, and it’s 30 miles from (KU’s) campus,” Neal added. “It will be like a road game for us.”

KU, which hasn’t had a home game since Nov. 22, will be in its home-away-fromhome, Sprint Center, where the Jayhawks are 22-4 all-time.

The opponent, UNM, has beaten Alabama A&M, Charleston Southern, UAB, Davidson, San Diego, New Mexico State and Cincinnati and lost to UMass.

The Lobos, who advanced to the NCAA Tournament three of the last four years under former coach Steve Alford, enter unranked, while the Jayhawks are No. 13 nationally.

“I think they are a team that hasn’t hit their stride,” said Neal, 49, who played basketball at Georgia Tech, and in the NBA, USBL, CBA and WBL, and has coached in both college and the NBA. “They are trying to find a glue or chemistry, and it’s not easy. My biggest concern is I know coach (Bill) Self really well. He is one of the top coaches in the country. My biggest concern is he’ll have ’em ready.”

Jayhawks’ season ends in straight-sets loss vs. Huskies

By Joseph D’Hippolito

Our program has come a long way. Our whole team is talented, but, more than anything, we play with more LOS ANGELES — Kansas heart than anybody. We might not match up with other University’s tenacity proved teams talent-wise, but we play with a lot of fire.”

insufficient against superior serving and blocking in the NCAA volleyball tournament regional semifinals Friday night.

Third-seeded Washington dominated the first two sets in a 25-18, 25-13, 26-24 sweep of the 14th-seeded Jayhawks at USC’s Galen Center.

The three-set loss was the first for KU (25-8) since Oct. 12, 2012, when the Jayhawks lost in successive sets at Texas.

“We hadn’t been beaten by

— Kansas University senior libero Brianne Riley a team 3-0 all year, and we’re probably one of the few teams in the country that can say that,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “So that’s very disappointing.”

Despite the loss, senior libero Brianne Riley complimented her teammates as she spoke through tears.

“Our program has come a long way,” Riley said. “Our

whole team is talented, but, more than anything, we play with more heart than anybody. We might not match up with other teams talent-wise, but we play with a lot of fire.”

But the Huskies (29-2) defused KU’s attack. The Jayhawks committed 25 errors and hit a season-worst .082, including a minus-.059 in the second set. Sara McClinton

punched a team-high eight kills, with Caroline Jarmoc and Catherine Carmichael adding seven apiece.

“We couldn’t get into system, which is usually a strong point for us,” Riley said. “They were a phenomenal serving team, and they set up a really solid block, and they’re really consistent with it. We had a tough time getting around that in the first two sets.”

Washington’s serving style varied from Cassie Strickland’s powerful jump serve to floaters with little or no spin from Jenni Nogueras and Melanie Wade. The Huskies Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 8B

Free State boys rally past Shawnee Heights, 57-54

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TECUMSEH — No one would have blamed Free State High’s boys basketball players if the multi-skilled Shawnee Heights backcourt caught fire at home Friday night and sent the Firebirds (ranked No. 5 in Class 6A) back to Lawrence with their first loss of the season.

It certainly seemed to be the likely outcome in the first half, as senior guard Jovan Barksdale and every other Thunderbird who stepped on the floor seemed capable of getting to the rim or pulling up to drain a jumper.

However, Free State began defending like mad in the third quarter, while forcing the issue on offense to get points in the paint, and recovered from a 10-point

most of their shots in the second half and fall, 43-31, at Shawnee Heights. Page 4B halftime deficit to win, 57-54, at SHHS. “That was one of those gut-check games,” said Firebirds coach Chuck Law, proud of how his players responded. “We talked about a lot of things before the game, and as kids are prone to do, we kind of went out and did everything opposite of what we talked about. But to their

credit, they responded and did almost everything that we could’ve asked of them in the second half.”

The final 16 minutes began with senior wing Khadre Lane attacking off the dribble and kicking the ball to fellow senior Cole Moreano for a three-pointer. But less than a minute later, Lane, whistled for a charge, had to head to the bench with three personal fouls. With their most athletic player on the bench, the Firebirds (3-0) didn’t allow that to alter their approach.

Senior Blake Winslow scored seven of his 13 points in the third, Moreano added eight more, and every Firebird on the floor made one John Young/Journal-World Photo kind of play or another to knock Shawnee Heights (1-2) FREE STATE SENIOR COLE MOREANO (13) MOTIONS toward the Firebirds’ student section as time runs out in Free State’s game against Shawnee Heights out of its comfort zone. on Friday evening in Tecumseh.

By Paul Klee The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.)

DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Broncos had the right idea.

How should they protect a defense taking on water like a capsized dinghy?

Play 12 guys. They tried it in the first quarter, but the officiating crew noticed. Five-yard penalty. They tried it again in the third quarter. Same result: 5-yard penalty.

Bummer. Well, it was worth a try. Eleven isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cutting it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be a whole lot better,â&#x20AC;? defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said after the Chargers sank the Broncos, 27-20, on Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that.â&#x20AC;?

There was a strong, noticeable feeling inside a dreary Broncos locker room they know something else, too: This defense is in big trouble.

Right now, the Broncos defense is so far from Super Bowl-worthy it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scalp a ticket to the big game.

When Peyton Claus doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slide down the chimney with a sack full of touchdowns, the Broncos stamp their name on the naughty list. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nice what the Chargers did at Sports Authority Field, knocking the Broncos from the top of the AFC and giving the Patriots a golden road to homefield advantage in the AFC playoffs.

But was it really a surprise?

As it stands now, this Broncos defense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop an avalanche in Kansas. When Philip Rivers was analyzing photographs on the Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sideline, I wondered if he was trying to figure out which wide receiver was more open.

The Broncos offense will be fine. Better than fine, actually, and pity the poor Texans who are next on the schedule.

But the Broncos defense is in flux. In Week 15, the Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure who should be on the field and who should not.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how 12 men-on-thefield happens. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how one week, Duke Ihenacho is a starting safety. The next week heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. One week, Wesley Woodyard is the defensive leader.

The next week heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on special teams.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise Manning is so comfortable in Colorado. These Broncos are looking more and more like those Colts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a powerhouse offense that feels like it must score on every possession, simply because its defense is giving up mad points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like we left one out there,â&#x20AC;? cornerback Kayvon Webster said.

Thursday marked the first time Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense was held to fewer than 27 points.

When that happens, this is what happens.

Time of possession: San Diego, 38:49; Denver, 21:11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ball much,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had it, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much with it.â&#x20AC;?

All the undrafted free agents on the Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense made for a feel-good storyline that championed the underdogs.

Check out these guys! Against the odds, they made it to the big time.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one small problem with that notion. It also underlines how poorly the Broncos have drafted. Crippled by enough injuries to fill a hospital wing, the defense is being exposed as having the depth of a kiddie pool.

This was a bad loss for the Broncos, and it will be portrayed as evidence they are not Super Bowl material. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly talk. In the AFC, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not another team scarier than the Broncos.

Only the Broncos defense can beat the Broncos. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scary thought, because it just might.

Manning won a Super Bowl with a 21st-ranked defense in 2006. He reached another one with an 18th-ranked defense in 2009. He will have to pull off the same magic trick again.

DETROITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OMAR INFANTE CONNECTS for a three-run double against the Royals in a Sept. 6 game in Kansas City, Mo.

VERITAS CHRISTIAN TODAY â&#x20AC;˘ Girls/boys basketball vs. Topeka Heritage, 3:30/5 p.m.

Royals, Infante reach tentative agreement KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Royals might have found their answer at second base.

The Royals and veteran Omar Infante reached a tentative agreement on a four-year contract Friday night, a person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the contract.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore has said throughout the offseason that upgrading at second base was a priority. Kansas City used six players at the position last season, though none did enough to make the Royals feel comfortable moving forward.

Infante, who turns 32 on Dec. 26, would stabilize second base in Kansas City for the first time in years. He hit .318 with 10 homers and 51 RBIs in 118 games for Detroit last season.

Infante received substantial interest from the New York Yankees, who were seeking a replacement for Robinson Cano. But the Yankees were hesitant to give Infante more than three years, and the Royals decided to give the versatile infielder an extra year to help seal the deal.

The Royals signed left-hander Jason Vargas to a $32 million, four-year deal in November to help replace Ervin Santana, who is likely to sign elsewhere in free agency. The deals for Vargas and Infante push the notoriously frugal Royals beyond $90 million in payroll for next season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a club record, assuming they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any moves to trim salary.

Moore has said he expects payroll to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;about the sameâ&#x20AC;? as last season, which was roughly $82 million. But he has also said the Royals can be flexible if the right opportunity arises.

Infante played all of his games at second base for Detroit last season, but the former All-Star also has logged significant time at shortstop and third base while playing a bit in the outfield.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play the majority of his time at second base in Kansas City, where Emilio Bonifacio, Jamey Carroll, Chris Getz, Johnny Giavotella, Elliot Johnson and Miguel Tejada each tried to fill in last season. They combined to hit .243 with just four home runs.

The fallback plan for the Royals was to go into next season with Bonifacio as their primary second baseman, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely become a utilityman now.

The Royals are certainly familiar with Infante from having watched him play for their AL Central rival Detroit. Infante came up with the Tigers in 2002, and then was traded to the Cubs and Braves before landing back in Detroit two years ago, when he helped the Tigers win an American League pennant.

Infante is batting .279 with 74 homers and 421 RBIs over his 12-year career. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never played more than 149 games in a season and missed more than a month last year because of an ankle injury that occurred when the Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colby Rasmus slid aggressively into his leg.

KC acquires midfielder Zizzo KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City acquired midfielder Sal Zizzo from the Portland Timbers for allocation money as it began to retool its roster on Friday.

Zizzo scored two goals and had eight assists while playing one year for Chivas USA and the last three seasons for Portland. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also spent time with Hannover 96 in Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bundesliga.

A former standout at UCLA, Zizzo played for the U.S. menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team against Sweden in August 2007. He also has represented the United States on several junior national teams and started all five of the U.S. matches at the 2007 U-20 World Cup in Canada.

The 26-year-old Zizzo will occupy a senior roster spot with Sporting KC.

Packers QB Rodgers ruled out GREEN BAY, WIS. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Green Bay Packers will play another game without quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers ruled out an injured Rodgers on Friday for the road matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Rodgers has been sidelined since he suffered a broken collarbone early in Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to the Chicago Bears on Nov. 4. Rodgers practiced on a limited basis this week and even took some reps with the first-string offense in team drills Wednesday and Thursday.

Two fire 59s at Mandela event DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jorge Campillo and South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colin Nel shot 59 on Friday in the second round of the rain-affected Nelson Mandela Championship, although the scores wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count as a European Tour record because players were allowed to use preferred lies on the soaked layout.

Their 59s come with asterisks because of the preferred lies, and the Mount Edgecombe course was reduced by one stroke to a par of 70.

Three teams lead Shootout NAPLES, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Defending champions Kenny Perry and Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair shot an 8-under 64 in modified alternate-shot play for a share of the first-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

The teams of Matt Kuchar-Harris English and Charles Howell III-Justin Leonard also shot 64 on the Ritz Carlton Resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tiburon course. The 24 teams will play better ball today and finish with a scramble Sunday.

Seahawks learned from one-win season

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Some might consider a one-win season forgettable or of no use to the development of a program.

Bishop Seabury Academy boys basketball coach Ashley Battles doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to be one of those people.

The Seahawks finished 1-17 a year ago, but the players who endured those on-the-court hardships learned the value of competing when the odds are against them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors had a zero-quit mentality,â&#x20AC;?

Battles said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that appears to have carried over to the early practices this season.â&#x20AC;?

They did so with contributions from four new players: senior Elizabeth Padget, sophomore Ellen Almanza and freshmen Kayleigh Boos and Celia Taylor-Puckett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two-thirds of the team is new,â&#x20AC;? Smith said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and of those, a couple have played basketball in their past, while others have never played at all. So the early challenge is simply trying to get the team ready to compete with a broad range of knowledge and skill.

Infection could sideline Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; McCluster KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs will be missing their starting left tackle, top tight end, leading pass rusher and now potentially their most dangerous punt returner for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Oakland.

Dexter McCluster, who has already brought back two punts for touchdowns this season, was listed as questionable Friday for the Raiders game after a small cut on his ankle that he picked up in the mud and snow last week against Washington got infected.

The Chiefs were already preparing to play with-

out left tackle Branden Albert (hyperextended knee), tight end Anthony Fasano (concussion) and linebacker Justin Houston (dislocated elbow).

Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Friday that an MRI and X-rays on McClusterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ankle showed no structural damage. But swabs taken at the infection site have not been analyzed, and Burkholder said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big question is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Does he have MRSA?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that yet.â&#x20AC;?

MRSA is a potentially deadly strain of staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics and recently generated headlines when

an infection hit the Tampa Bay Buccaneersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room earlier this season.

Offensive lineman Carl Nicks, kicker Lawrence Tynes and cornerback Johnthan Banks all were diagnosed with it.

After initially treating his infection with antibiotics, Nicks developed a recurrence and needed surgery. Tynes was put on the non-football injury list, while Banks was not sidelined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a very minor procedure where they opened up the wound, cleaned it out, got him on IV antibiotics and he was released today,â&#x20AC;?

holder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He still has a chance to play on Sunday because it is basically a laceration that he had an infection in.â&#x20AC;?

Burkholder acknowledged, though, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all the cultures back.â&#x20AC;?

McCluster is the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third-leading receiver with 46 catches for 438 yards and a touchdown, but his real value comes on special teams. He set a franchise record with 177 yards in punt returns last week against the Redskins, including a 74-yard return for a touchdown.

He needs just 10 yards in punt returns to break

Tamarick Vanoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise record of 640 yards set during the 1999 season.

His 54 returns this season are also second-most in Chiefs history.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Chad Hall, who was signed Friday after recently getting released, could return punts if McCluster is unable to play against Oakland. Defensive back Quintin Demps, who also returns kicks, could be another option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Dexter is not out, but Chad can do that, yes,â&#x20AC;?

Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have Chad and Quintin that can do it.

Chad has been working it the whole time as has

ferent level tonight,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said.

“I’ve seen that in spurts but not in a Friday night atmosphere like this.”

Bonner was so good during the decisive run that put the Lions up 3822 at the half and 56-38 after three quarters that he overshadowed another stellar night from his partner in crime, LHS sophomore Justin Roberts. Not that anyone, including Roberts, minded much.

“I’ve never seen him shoot like that in his life,” said Roberts, who was asked what got into Bonner. “Whatever it was, I liked it a lot.”

The Lions’ third victory in three games was far from the Roberts and Bon-

FSHS girls struggle on offense

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TECUMSEH — When Free State High’s girls basketball team kept missing shots through a two-quarter drought Friday night at Shawnee Heights, it didn’t surprise coach Bryan Duncan.

Though his Firebirds led after a quarter, they only made two baskets in the second and third quarters combined, leading to a 43-31 road loss.

“I think the issue is we’re just relying on hoping our shots fall,” a frustrated Duncan said after his team dropped to 0-3.

“We’re not dictating or running any sort of offense. So it’s just kind of blindly hoping that shots fall … and that’s not a good way to play basketball. We didn’t control the tempo at all. We looked confused, and we play very basic sets right now against man or a 2-3 zone. We were never comfortable doing anything on offense.”

Freshman Madison Piper scored nine of Free State’s 12 first-quarter points, and sophomore Lauren Johnson’s runner with less than a minute left in the first gave FSHS its only lead of the game, 12-11. Miscues and the kind of offense that drove Duncan batty followed.

The Firebirds went 1-for-9 in the second quarter, with four turnovers, and 1-for-8 in the third quarter, with three turnovers, allowing Shawnee Heights (2-0) to build a 31-

Senior point guard Keith Loneker made sure Winslow and Moreano got the ball in position to score, senior guard Reshawn Caro defended and rebounded, and junior subs Weston Hack and Keegan McKinney contributed to some of the most critical plays in Free State’s rally.

Hack, a guard, fed McKinney, a forward, for a three-pointer with 2:04 left in the third quarter that cut the T-birds lead down to 41-40. Less than 30 seconds later, Hack drove and dished to Winslow for a layup and a foul, and the senior converted the three-point

Piper (five baskets) and Johnson accounted for Free State’s first six field goals (the Firebirds made 21 percent of their 28 shots through three quarters) entering the fourth, but junior Adriana Jadlow (2-for-2 from the field in the fourth) and senior Millie Shade (3-for-3 in the fourth) gave the team its last five baskets.

Shade missed her first six shots before hitting a three-pointer with 5:30 to play. That got Free State within five points of SHHS, but freshman Tbirds forward Jazz Sweet made a three-point play with a basket and free throw the next time down the floor, and the Firebirds never got any closer.

FSHS didn’t have starting senior forward Scout Wiebe (injured) available in the road loss.

play to give FSHS a 4341 advantage and its first lead of the second half.

If the momentumswinging play looked a tad awkward, Winslow said it was because he couldn’t jump — one of

ner show. Sure, Bonner’s 30 points led all scorers, and, yeah, Roberts’ line of 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals would’ve hogged the spotlight for most other teams, but so many Lions contributed to this victory, and that made the LHS dynamic duo smile the most.

Senior Connor Henrichs scored three points and was a reliable third ball-handler. Sophomore big man Price Morgan played hard around the rim and finished with six points and five rebounds.

Junior starter John Barbee hit both of the shots he attempted. Junior Ben Rajewski drilled a key three-pointer and picked up a steal and an assist to Bonner that pushed Lawrence’s lead back into the teens after Blue Valley had sliced it to 12 late in the third quarter. And reserves Anthony Riley and Fred Brou also added buckets and did a nice job of following the aggressive example of the LHS leaders.

“It’s legit,” Lewis said of Roberts’ and Bonner’s team-first attitudes.

“They’re not just telling you that. They truly understand what it takes for us to be at our best. It really is all about the team for them, and that’s such a breath of fresh air.”

LHS (3-0) shot 58 percent from the floor (23-of-40) and limited the Blue Valley to 46 percent shooting (22-for-48). The Lions also committed just one firsthalf turnover and forced eight from the Tigers.

Friday’s victory avenged the bad memory of a first-round loss in last year’s Blue Valley Shootout and set the Lions up with another chance at redemption tonight against Highland Park, which ran past them in the finals of last year’s Topeka Invitational Tournament.

“To get to the championship means a lot,” Roberts said.

Added Bonner: “It’s a great feeling. I haven’t won a championship in a while. I didn’t get one all summer, so it’ll be fun to come out and try to get one against a great team.”

Just three games into the 2013 season, trying already is a given for the Lions. But the best part, in Lewis’ eyes, is he knows his team wants more.

“It’s great because we get to play one of the best teams in the state in December and have an opportunity to learn from it, win or lose,” he said of tonight’s title tilt. “Of course we wanted to get to the final. But we want to win it, too.”

his shoes was falling off at the time. Winslow’s strength made the andone happen once Hack set the table.

“My man left to go help, so (Hack) had two guys on him, and I just kind of found the open spot in the lane, and he got it to me,” said Winslow, who finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

The Firebirds’ approach in the second half didn’t come close to resembling the first half, when SHHS built an 1810 lead in the first quarter and made 13 of its 25 shots.

Said Moreano, who finished with 16 points, four rebounds and three assists: “That’s a good team — very athletic and can shoot the crap out of it. I think we were a little

there was none of that, and I think they believed at halftime they were gonna come back and win that game.”

FSHS took a 45-43 lead into the fourth, and Loneker scored a pair of easy baskets inside, Caro knocked down a threepointer, Hack scored on an inbounds pass and Moreano added another bucket on a post-up.

Still, SHHS had an opportunity to tie the game with 2.4 seconds on the clock after Barksdale rose up for a threepointer and drew a foul from Caro. However, the senior guard who led his team with 14 points, missed all three tries and Winslow brought down the defensive board to close out the victory.

The Firebirds play host to Lansing tonight.

stunned at first. The teams we played before were good teams, but we got handled in the first half for the most part. We had to come out and be more aggressive and push through.

You’ve gotta push through that wall when the other team’s up. You’ve gotta hit ’em back.”

The Thunderbirds made just eight of their 21 field goals in the second half, and two of their five turnovers in that stretch came when Winslow and McKinney drew charges. Those types of plays, Law said, are what will carry Free State this season.

“We’re a pretty tight bunch, I think, and I think that was evident tonight,” the coach said.

“We could’ve been finger-pointing and saying, ‘You’re not doing this.’ But

ABOVE: KANSAS UNIVERSITY LIBERO BRIANNE RILEY, LEFT, DIGS THE BALL as Caroline Jarmoc stands by during an NCAA Tournament regional semifinal match against Washington on Friday in Los Angeles. RIGHT: WASHINGTON’S KYLIN MUNOZ SPIKES THE BALL as Kansas’ Catherine Carmichael (20) tries to block. Washington beat Kansas in three sets, 25-18, 25-13, 26-24.

amassed six aces, with Nogueras recording three.

“They don’t really give you a break,” Bechard said. “Many teams have two or three players who are pretty good servers, and then there are a couple who aren’t. But all of them whacked it pretty good.”

When KU attempted to attack, the Huskies’ blockers were ready. Washington accumulated 18 block assists to the Jayhawks’ six.

“If you set a high ball to your outside hitters, they’re going to be organized to get the block or a good touch,” Bechard said

Bairstow (19.8 ppg), 6-4 senior guard Kendall Williams (19.1 ppg) and 7-0 junior center Alex Kirk (18.6 ppg, 10.4 rpg), figures to test KU with a zone defense (2-3) as well as man-to-man. The Jayhawks have struggled against zones lately.

“I’m not going to pull a 1-3-1 zone, like Florida, did out of my hat,” Neal said of the defense the Gators used in Tuesday’s 67-61 win over KU in Gainesville, Fla. “We’re going to play Lobo basketball, the way we play.

Hopefully we go in and guard them and don’t have to play a lot of zone, but I’m sure we’ll change some things up on them.”

Self has great respect for the Mountain West Conference school.

“New Mexico ... you can make a case they may be as good as anybody we’ve played,” Self said. “We are not going to play another team where three guys average 19 a game. They’ve got a 7-footer. They’ve got a 6-9 guy who may be as good a player as we’ll go against.

He made the Australian national team,” Self said of Bairstow.

Self hopes the Jayhawks have a strong effort against a talented team.

“We’re not playing well, obviously. We’re a lot better than what we’re playing,” Self said. “We’ve got to get a little confidence back and get back into attacking.”

O

Naadir to start: Self told the Journal-World that junior point guard Naadir Tharpe would return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench the past two games. Freshman Frank Mason will return to his role as a key reserve. Other starters will be sophomore Perry Ellis, plus freshmen Wayne Selden, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid.

Self said “a lot of things” when asked what he was looking for in his point guard.

about the Huskies. “Then they transition and score.

“When you don’t have options, like we didn’t in the first set-and-a-half, you become very predictable.”

KU took a 3-1 lead in the first set before Washington narrowed its deficit to 6-5. Then the Huskies used a 14-3 spree to move ahead 19-9.

After being over-

whelmed in the second set, the Jayhawks made a stand in what would be the final set.

The teams forced 14 ties and exchanged the lead four times.

“Making sure we get a shot every possession would be a nice start. Being able to get guys easy baskets,” Self said. “I would hope in my thinking a point guard would be the extension of the coaching staff or the head coach, no matter what happens. If it

breaks down, you still run stuff and execute stuff because they are telling everybody what to do. We’re not quite there yet.

“Frank is trying his butt off. He’s just young and never played point before, so it’s all new to him. We don’t have that exten-

long, and the Huskies had a 24-23 lead.

The Jayhawks relied on Kylin Munoz’s net violation to tie the score, but Wade’s two kills ensured the Huskies’ victory.

KU’s position after two sets reminded Bechard of a preseason road match against 25th-ranked Wisconsin, in which the Jayhawks rallied to win the final three sets after losing the first two.

“That’s what we talked about,” Bechard said. “If we had gotten that third set going, maybe we could’ve gotten a little more momentum.”

Riley added 12 digs, and Erin McNorton passed for 29 assists. Washington’s Krista Vansant, the Pac-12 Conference’s player of the year, smashed 10 kills.

Self said Thursday that Tharpe was the strongest candidate to emerge as a team leader.

“For us to have a really good year this year, Naadir has to step up. There’s no other way around it.

I believe he will. He’s in a little bit of a funk right right now, but he’s gonna get out of it,” Self said.

Merv mum: The JournalWorld issued a request to interview New Mexico sophomore Merv Lindsay this past week through New Mexico’s communications office. The request was denied.

Lindsay, a 6-7 wing from Moreno Valley, Calif., has played 16 minutes total in four of New Mexico’s eight games. He has made his one shot attempt on the season. He’s 0-for-2 from the line with two rebounds.

“He’s a great guy. He was a great teammate,” Self said of Lindsay, who played at KU in 2011-12, then transferred after the season.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Just two days after undergoing foot surgery, Travis Releford plans to attend today’s nonconference basketball contest between his alma mater, Kansas University, and New Mexico, set for a 6 p.m. tipoff in his hometown’s Sprint Center.

T h e 6-foot-6 first-year pro, who plays for O k a p i Aalstar in Belgium, is looking forward to assess- Releford ing KU’s (6-3) team up close and personal.

“I haven’t gotten to see them much. When I saw them play against Duke, I thought they had a lot of good young players,” Releford said. “They are really young. There will be a lot of ups and downs.

Coach (Bill) Self is a great coach. He’ll get those guys to play on the level he wants them to play on by conference and tournament time.

“It’s tough when you are young,” Releford added. “At Kansas, you are a target on everybody’s schedule. They are going to learn that real fast. By conference you will see a different team. Winning hardfought games comes with experience, to be able to dig deep and know how to be tough enough to do it. They’ve never been in this situation. They’ll be great.”

A rookie starter, Releford is averaging 9.0 points and 3.2 rebounds a game for Okapi Aalstar.

“It’s been great,” said Releford, who has been joined by his girlfriend,

Jennifer, and son, T.J., in Belgium. T.J. will turn 3 in January.

“At Kansas, it’s all about being a family. It’s nice to go a different place and have it be the same in that way, with people so welcoming.”

Releford, who will return to Belgium on Dec. 28, said his dream remains to play in the NBA. “That’s the goal. I’m not going to give up on it at all,” he said.

A first-time author, he said he’s looking forward to some upcoming signings of his new book, “Relentless: From Redshirt to the Rock of the Jayhawks.”

Releford will sign from 9:30 to 11 a.m., Dec. 21 in Allen Fieldhouse before the KU-Georgetown game. He’ll sign 6 to 8 p.m., Dec. 20 at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City, Kan., and 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 23 at Kansas Sampler in Lenexa.

“It was good to tell some of the things that went on in my life, who I am,” said Releford, who nearly transferred rather than endure a red-shirt season at KU. “People get to see my personality and how I grew up.”

In the book, he talks about growing up poor in the inner city and discusses his years as a Jayhawk.

Of the book title, he said; “It refers to everything I’ve been through in life, overcoming things with basketball and things off the court. I felt ‘Relentless’ would best describe me as a person and player.”

Self would agree, calling Releford “the rock of our team.” He left KU part of five Big 12 regular season titles, three conference tourney championships, four Sweet 16s, two Elite Eights and one Final Four.

Bowl slump baffles Snyder, K-State MANHATTAN (AP) — Under Bill Snyder, Kansas State went from arguably the worst program in the history of college football to a perennial contender, a job nobody thought possible.

Snyder stepped away for a brief retirement, only to return and lead the Wildcats back to the Big 12 championship.

So when it comes to football in the Flint Hills, most people believe Snyder has all the answers.

But even Snyder is puzzled by Kansas State’s struggles in bowl games, especially of late.

“It is obvious that one of my many failings is that I do not have the answer to that,” Snyder said wryly.

“It could be a multitude of things, and perhaps it is, or maybe it is something simple that I am overlooking. ... The bottom line is I really do not know.”

When the Wildcats play Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Dec. 28 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz., they’ll be

trying to end a five-game losing streak that dates to Snyder’s first tenure at Kansas State and includes a loss in the only bowl game that Ron Prince was on the sideline.

The defeats have come in bowl games prestigious and mundane.

The Wildcats lost two Fiesta Bowls — after the 2003 season to Ohio State, starting the streak of futility, and last season to Oregon. They lost the Texas Bowl in ’06, the Pinstripe Bowl four years later once Snyder had returned, and the Cotton Bowl to Arkansas the following season.

Some of the defeats were close (36-34 to Syracuse at Yankee Stadium), while some of them were the kind of runaways that are just as soon forgotten (37-10 to Rutgers in the Texas Bowl).

“Nobody on our team has won a bowl game, with the exception of the coaches,” said Jonathan Truman, a junior linebacker. “We need it. We want it really bad.”

“

It is obvious that one of my many failings is that I do not have the answer to that. It could be a multitude of things, and perhaps it is, or maybe it is something simple that I am overlooking.”

— Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder, on KSU’s five-game losing streak in bowls Most people thought the Wildcats would be headed to the Holiday Bowl, and that would have boded well for ending the streak. Snyder never has lost in three trips to the game in San Diego, and a win over Arizona State on Dec. 27, 2002, remains the Wildcats’ most recent bowl victory.

Instead, the Wildcats moved one spot up the pecking order and are headed for the bowl game formerly known as the Copper Bowl and Insight Bowl and one that has plenty of Kansas State history.

In 1993, the Wildcats headed for the desert for just the second bowl game in school history and the

first under Snyder and wound up routing Wyoming, 52-17. It was a watershed moment for the program, not to mention a fan base so starved for success that it descended on Arizona like a purple wave.

To this day, it remains one of Snyder’s most cherished memories.

“The most significant thing was the fact that we took 22,000 people to the Copper Bowl. That was a period in time when you couldn’t get 22,000 people in the stands at the stadium for ballgames,” he said. “We had a pep rally down there in a hotel that couldn’t house as many people as we had. We had over 5,000 people at the

pep rally the night before the ballgame.”

The Wildcats returned to the game in 2001, when it had been renamed the Insight.com Bowl and had moved from Arizona Stadium in Tucson to Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix.

Kansas State was blown out by Syracuse, 26-3.

“The next one we played down there, we didn’t play very well. We lost the ballgame,” Snyder recalled. “It wasn’t one of my favorite periods in time.”

In fact, bowl games often have left a sour taste in Snyder’s mouth. He has won only six of his 14 games as coach of the Wildcats; the other eight times he’s spent an offseason ruing a defeat.

“Number one, I think we have played tremendously talented football teams,” Snyder said, trying to offer an explanation. “Sometimes, I think, just the depth segment of it catches up with you, but that should be an accurate assessment for most teams, not just ourselves.”

Winston says he knew he would ‘be vindicated’ NEW YORK (AP) — Jameis Winston smiled and laughed, posing for pictures with the other Heisman Trophy finalists and the big bronze statue that he is expected to take home.

And when it came time to answer questions from the media on Friday, the Florida State quarterback did so confidently and without hesitation, even when his protection broke down.

Winston and four of the other Heisman finalists — Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel, Auburn’s Tre Mason, Boston College’s Andre Williams and Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch — met with reporters at a Midtown Manhattan hotel for short interviews. Alabama’s AJ McCarron was in Baltimore accepting another award.

Florida State officials tried to limit questions that were even vaguely related to the rape accusation against Winston. The state attorney closed the investigation last week, saying there was not enough evidence to win a conviction.

The 19-year-old, who hasn’t spoken directly about the details of the investigation, seemed unfazed by the questions that did come his way. He said he was fine remaining silent about the case.

“I knew I did nothing wrong. I knew I could respect the process, and I’d eventually be vindicated.

It was more about me being silent for my family because I didn’t want to put my family in those situations.

“We had so much respect for Mr. (Tim) Jansen and everything going around and knew I did nothing wrong and everything would be OK.” Winston was the only Heisman finalist to show up with his lawyer, Jansen, who strolled in with the Florida State entourage for the media availability. Winston looked like a college student going to class: black Florida State sweatsuit with garnet trim, and a matching backpack hanging off his shoulders.

Winston is the over-

whelming favorite to win the Heisman after a sensational season, leading No. 1 Florida State to the national championship game against No. 2 Auburn.

But the celebration of his record-breaking performance has been muted by a year-old sexual assault allegation that went from dormant to active last month. The Tallahassee Police gave its finding to prosecutors, who took three weeks to investigate further and decide not to press charges.

Documents and reports, including the accuser’s accounts to police, have been made public. They are less-than-flattering to Winston.

On Friday, the accuser’s attorney, Patricia Carroll, asked Florida’s attorney general to examine the rape investigation independently, claiming it was riddled with problems.

A few hours later, Winston was taking questions, Julio Cortez/AP Photo mostly about football and the Heisman and being FLORIDA STATE QUARTERBACK JAMEIS WINSTON, a in New York City for the Heisman Trophy finalist, talks to reporters Friday in New York. first time.

Saban, Alabama reach long-term agreement The Associated Press

Alabama coach Nick Saban is staying put.

The university announced on its Twitter account Friday night that the football coach has reached “a long-term agreement” to remain with the Crimson Tide.

Alabama didn’t release terms of the new deal, which must be approved by the board of trustees.

Saban received an eightyear deal in March 2012 worth about $5.6 million annually and seems likely to remain college football’s highest-paid coach.

The agreement quells speculation that Saban would take over at Texas if Mack Brown steps down. Saban, who turned 62 on Oct. 31, has led the Tide to three national championships in the past four years with no signs of fading from annual contention.

The third-ranked Tide was on the verge of another Southeastern Conference, and perhaps national title, before losing 34-28 to No. 2 Auburn in the regular-season finale on a last-play 109-yard return of a missed field goal.

Alabama will play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 in New Orleans.

Saban has said multiple times that he’s too old “to go someplace else and start over.”

“I’m very committed to the University of Alabama, love being here,” he said in November. “We’ve talked about it before.

Don’t need to talk about it again. “ But that didn’t stop the speculation and rumors that he was bound for Texas amid reports that Brown was on his way out.

Brown didn’t address

his future at Texas at Friday night’s annual team banquet, while acknowledging “distractions” for his team. The Longhorns (8-4) will face Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30.

Brown met with school President Bill Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson before the banquet. Patterson declined to say what was discussed or if any conclusion had been reached.

Saban is 74-14 in seven seasons at Alabama, with at least 11 wins in five of the last six years and a string of top-rated recruit-

ing classes. The Tide was trying to become the first team to win three straight national titles since the 1930s.

Saban has been mentioned as a candidate for various openings in the NFL and college during his tenure.

That’s no surprise given his track record in the college ranks. Saban is the only coach to win four BCS national titles, including the 2003 championship at LSU. He returned to the SEC after going 15-17 in two seasons with the Miami Dolphins.

Brown declines to address his future at Texas AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — The Mack Brown saga at Texas continues — even without Nick Saban in the picture any more.

In a short, energetic speech at his team’s annual banquet, Brown acknowledged the “distractions” his team faced over rumors and reports that he would be resign or be fired after 16 seasons, but ended only with a plea for his team to “beat Oregon” in the Alamo Bowl.

Brown did not directly

address the speculation swirling around his job, but news of Alabama’s new contract with Nick Saban, a coach some Texas officials hoped to lure to the Longhorns, rippled through the banquet minutes before Brown gave his speech.

Brown gave no indication he plans to step down. His lively speech seemed to lift the somber tone of the banquet and he told new athletic director Steve Patterson that he’s

looking forward to working with him.

Brown lingered long after the banquet was over to chat with recruits and their families.

But what Brown and his bosses didn’t do was deliver any definitive closure to the question of whether he would be back.

Brown, Patterson and school President Bill Powers met Friday afternoon, but Patterson declined comment when approached at the banquet.

“When we have something to announce, we’ll announce it,” Patterson told reporters During his prepared remarks, Patterson said he’s “excited to be working with” Brown.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to get together and work for many years to come,” Patterson said.

Powers, one of Brown’s biggest allies, also praised Brown and his wife.

“Mack and Sally, I’m so proud of you, the way you

brought this team over obstacles,” Powers said. “You two are the very best. I’m proud to be your friend.”

A team spokesman said Brown and Powers would not comment after the banquet.

In his remarks, Brown wanted to keep the focus on his players and their 8-4 season which will end in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30 against Oregon.

“What we’re here for is the football team,” Brown said.

That leaves Snyder stumped. He insists the preparation isn’t any different than any other time of year, and he’s a master at limiting distractions when his teams play away from home. In fact, he tends to have a schematic advantage over rival coaches when he’s given extra time to prepare, so the fact that Kansas State has struggled so much in bowl games is downright baffling.

One thing that Snyder knows without any shred of question is it’s important for Kansas State to finally end its drought, especially against a blueblood program such as Michigan.

“I don’t think about it along those lines,” Snyder said, “but I think our players do. This is really important for them because they, in their tenure here, have not been successful in the last game of the season or the bowl games that they have participated in.

“I think it really is significant to them.”

Irish QB Golson returns to school SOUTH BEND, IND. (AP) — Quarterback Everett Golson has been readmitted to Notre Dame after being suspended for the fall semester for what he termed “poor judgment on a test” after helping the Fighting Irish get to the national championship game a season ago.

Golson was officially readmitted Friday afternoon, said Paul Browne, Notre Dame vice president for public affairs and communications. Coach Brian Kelly previously had said he hoped Golson could practice with the Irish during bowl preparation, but last week said there wasn’t enough time because Golson isn’t eligible until Dec. 21, and the team leaves for the Pinstripe Bowl in New York City on Dec. 23.

Kelly said Golson, who has two years of eligibility left, would not travel with the team to the bowl, but said Golson might be in New York around that time.

Golson helped the Irish go 12-0 during the regular season last year, regain the No. 1 ranking for the first time in nearly two decades and get to the title game against Alabama in January, but Kelly said last month the starter’s job won’t be handed to him. Kelly said he expects freshman Malik Zaire, who didn’t play this season, to compete with Golson for the job and said backup Andrew Hendrix could return for a fifth year of eligibility.

“We think there is going to be some very good competition for that position with him,” Kelly said.

Golson completed 59 percent of his passes last year for 2,405 yards with 12 touchdown passes and six interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and a team-high six touchdowns.

Kelly had been counting on Golson to play an even bigger role this season until he was suspended in May. Without Golson, the Irish lost their threat of a quarterback who could run, turning instead to former starter Tommy Rees, who guided the Irish to an 8-4 record.

Kelly said last week that he is pleased with how Golson has responded to being suspended.

“His comments were right on, in my estimation. I think he took full responsibility for his actions, didn’t back away from them,” he said.

Bulls 91, Bucks 90 MILWAUKEE — Mike Dunleavy hit a threepointer with 5.8 seconds left, and Joakim Noah came up with a block on the other end, leading Chicago to a comeback victory over Milwaukee on Friday night.

Trailing by two in the final seconds, Chicago came up with a tie-up on the defensive end and won the jump ball, allowing Dunleavy to hit a higharching three for the lead.

Noah then blocked O.J. Mayo’s shot to preserve the lead — and a victory that appeared unlikely just seconds before.

Noah scored 21 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for the Bulls, who ended a three-game losing streak.

Chicago scored fewer than 80 points in all three losses — including one to Milwaukee in Chicago on Tuesday.

IOWA STATE FORWARD GEORGE NIANG, BOTTOM, FOULS IOWA GUARD DEVYN MARBLE in the Cylclones’ 85-82 victory on Friday in Ames, Iowa.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

ISU escapes Iowa ————

Colorado wins 10th straight The Associated Press

No. 17 Iowa State 85, No. 23 Iowa 82 AMES, IOWA — Georges Niang scored 24 points, including the go-ahead basket with 18.8 seconds left, and Iowa State rallied to beat Iowa on Friday night.

Dustin Hogue had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Cyclones (8-0), who prevailed in the first meeting between the Cyclones and Hawkeyes as ranked teams in 26 years.

Niang gave Iowa State an 83-82 lead on a reverse layup — and Iowa’s Mike Gesell followed by missing two free throws.

Hogue then buried two foul shots, and Zach McCabe’s attempt for a tying 3 fell short for Iowa (10-2).

Aaron White had 25 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for the Hawkeyes, who led by as much as 10 late in the first half.

Iowa and Iowa State spent the final 10 minutes trading baskets in one of the most entertaining games in a rivalry that stretches back over a century.

The final minute belonged to the resilient Cyclones.

The Hawkeyes had the ball up 82-79 with less than a minute left. But White turned it over in an uncharacteristic mistake during what was arguably his best game for Iowa.

Melvin Ejim hit two free throws and Devyn Marble missed one, giving Niang his chance to drive beneath the basket for a tough scoop shot that proved to be the difference.

Ejim had 22 points and seven rebounds and Naz Long had 13 points for Iowa State.

This was Iowa’s first true road game — in one of the most hostile environments it’ll play in all season.

It didn’t faze the Hawkeyes in the first half.

Iowa jumped out to an early lead, helping quiet a raucous sellout crowd.

Though Iowa State was aggressive in attacking the basket and drawing fouls, it was just 12-of-20 from the line in the first half.

The Hawkeyes showed their impressive depth with multiple baskets from five different players, and White’s 13 points helped them build a 45-38 lead. The Cyclones might have been out of the game by halftime if not for Niang’s 16 first-half points.

Iowa State was able to pull even at 62 with just over 10 minutes left — and Hogue’s 3-point play made it 65-62 Cyclones.

Marble had 19 points and six assists for the Hawkeyes, who outrebounded Iowa State 4935.

Though Iowa and Iowa State have been at each other’s throats for decades, the majority of

COLORADO’S SPENCER DINWIDDIE (25) SHOOTS while defended by Elon’s Jack Isenbarger (20) and Lucas Troutman on Friday in Boulder, Colo. those games were irrelevant nationally.

It’s been a long time since the Hawkeyes and Cyclones were this good this early.

The last time Iowa and Iowa State met as ranked opponents was in 1987 — perhaps the most memorable of the 66 previous meetings between the heated instate rivals. That game, which was also in Ames, will long remembered as the one when Cyclones star Lafester Rhodes scored 54 points to lead Iowa State past Iowa 102-100 in overtime.

Dear Annie: “Frustrated in South Dakota” was concerned about the dearth of sex in his marriage, saying his wife has no sex drive. You rightfully suggested she talk to her doctor to see whether there is something they could do to remedy the problem. However, when you write that “intimacy is important, but it isn’t everything,” I think you’ve missed the point about sexless marriage: It’s entirely possible to be in a committed relationship without sex, but it’s incredibly important to keep the intimacy alive in other ways.

People sometimes identify the act of sex as the only validation of love and caring between a couple, but there are other “love acts” that have a bigger impact on a relationship, like hugging and touching and kissing.

My husband’s libido took a nosedive several years ago, and it was

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

a rough period for me because I am 13 years younger and had just hit my sexual prime. It took some adjusting of mindset, but when I realized that the other “good stuff” wasn’t going out the window, things suddenly weren’t as bad as I thought.

I do miss the incredible intimacy that sex brings, but I also love the fact that I get sweet, sometimes passionate kisses. Then there’s the romantic act of handholding (even in public!) and hugging. And that

Ridiculous 911 calls highlighted As those who watch crime shows and lurid news reports know, many murder mysteries begin with a frantic call to 911.

Some of these capture the victim’s very last words before unspeakable tragedy strikes.

But some people abuse 911 operators and besiege them with problems that redefine the word “petty.” That’s the territory covered by “Outrageous 911” (9 p.m. Saturday, TLC), a show dedicated to immortalizing these ridiculous “emergencies.”

One caller thinks 911 is for Chinese takeout. A criminal sits on his phone in the middle of a burglary and summons the police.

Another person mistakes the service for a dating hotline. The most bizarre phone call involves a man swimming naked in his pool who drifts too close to the filtration system. Perhaps I’ve said too much.

Hot on the heels of “Rodeo Girls,” five teams of participants compete on “Mustang Millionaire” (9 p.m. Saturday, Nat Geo Wild). This three-part miniseries follows cowboys and cowgirls as they capture, tame and train wild mustangs and compete with them as show horses. As the title implies, there is a hefty cash reward for the winner.

Tonight’s Holiday Highlights

Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney star in the 1954 musical “White Christmas” (6 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., AMC).

An outcast sleigh-puller bonds with a rebel dentist in the 1964 special “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer” (7 p.m., CBS).

Jimmy Durante narrates the 1969 special “Frosty the Snowman” (8 p.m., CBS).

Jonathan Winters narrates the 1995 special “Frosty Returns” (8:30 p.m., CBS).

Tonight’s Other Highlights

Demetrious Johnson and Jo-

seph Benavidez contend for the flyweight title in an Ultimate Fighting Championship match (7 p.m., Fox).

Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Hill, Mary Berry, David Walliams and Cliff Richard appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

John Goodman hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Kings of Leon.

BIRTHDAYS Jazz musician Clark Terry is 93. Actor Hal Williams is 79. Actress Patty Duke is 67. Actress Dee Wallace is 65. Rock musician Cliff Williams is 64. Actress Cynthia Gibb is 50. Actress Tammy Blanchard is 37. Actress Sophie Monk is 34. Actress Vanessa Hudgens is 25.

makes all the difference.

— Learning Curve Dear Learning: We agree that there are many ways to show intimacy, but it requires the cooperation of both partners.

Our readers had a lot to say on this subject. Read on for more: From New York: Perhaps “Frustrated” could suggest to his wife that one-way pleasure is a possible, if occasional, solution to their mismatched libidos. If you love someone, you can enjoy giving pleasure without expecting anything in return.

Boston: My wife and I were experiencing the lack of desire for frequent intimacy until we went to a homeopathic practitioner and received supplements to her diet that corrected some hormone levels. Happily, one of the benefits was improved libido.

Florida: “Frustrated” complains that he has

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Dec. 14: This year you could be very busy. Recognize how much you dislike spending time alone. If you are single, you could jump into a relationship too quickly in search of companionship. If you are attached, the two of you often spend time together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Juggle your finances carefully. A decision could have implications beyond the obvious. Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Maximize the moment.

You might have a special friend visiting. Tonight: Whatever you choose is perfect.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You don’t need to explain why you need some time alone.

Many of you will be doing holiday shopping. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Listen to a friend, as he or she gives you the scoop on what is happening with several friends and a get-together. A loved one could feel as if he or she isn’t included in this group. Tonight: Do what you love.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Others share with you as though you were their confidant. A problem could occur when more than one of these people are around. Tonight: A force to behold.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep trying to get ahold of a friend. Fill out cards and buy presents, especially for those at a distance. Tonight: In the spirit of the

jacquelinebigar.com

moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Continue to relate to close friends and loved ones directly. There is something about you that makes others want to be your sole focus. Tonight: Spend some close time with a loved one.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Touch base with several loved ones. Even if you are heading in different directions during the day, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to get together later.

Tonight: Enjoy a laid-back gathering.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be stuck in high gear trying to get as much done as possible. At some point, try to squeeze in a nap. Tonight: Celebrate life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will want to spend some quality time with a special someone, but you have a lot to get done. Everyone is as busy as you are, and they probably want to spend time with their friends, too.

Tonight: When you feel tired, stop.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be thinking that you should run some holiday errands, but you simply might need some time off from the hectic pace.

You might want to screen your calls.

Tonight: Curl up with a favorite book and play it low-key.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Hook up with a friend for lunch to visit and discuss your holiday plans and gift-giving arrangements. For you, the pleasure of the holidays comes from visiting with different friends. Tonight: A hot toddy and some holiday fun.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

A SPORTING CHANCE By Richard Auer

12/14

sex with his extremely attractive wife “maybe once every two weeks.”

I say: What are you complaining about? There are far too many of us on the opposite end of the spectrum. I’m 45, she’s 43 and still hot, but it’s been years since we’ve had sex. I’ve tried everything except couples counseling (she won’t go). I’m in decent physical shape, have a well-paying job and do my share in taking care of the children and the house. However, all romance, intimacy, kissing and physical contact are initiated by me and are rebuffed too often for me to make further attempts. Apparently, watching 15 hours of television every week is more important to her than an hour of intimacy once a month.
