Currently the state provides funding for half-day kindergarten, with the remaining portion funded through local dollars. The increased funding, Brownback said, would come out of financial balances that have been built up over the past couple of years. “Numerous studies show that allday kindergarten results in students who are more involved, productive and ready to read at appropriate grade levels,� Brownback said.

Robinson will visit Plymouth Congregational Church on March 6 to discuss the novel.

It’s been 14 years since Lawrence city commissioners received a pay increase, and some commissioners are talking about making up for lost time.

Justices have four ‘Hard 50’ decisions to make

County to seek state gun law exemption

Good, clean fun

Associated Press

TOPEKA — Justices of the Kansas Supreme Court now have four cases related to the state’s “Hard 50” prison sentence to digest in the coming months, with about a dozen others still in the legal pipeline.

While each case has its specific set of circumstances, the justices honed in on other issues about the convictions and sentences, rather than whether changes made to the “Hard 50” law this fall can be applied retroactively like prosecutors and legislators want.

The four cases all involve defendants who have been sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole after 50 years. The penalty has been in place for more than two decades as an alternative to sentencing defendants in heinous crimes to the death penalty.

During the hearings, justices questioned the circumstances that triggered the “Hard 50” sentences originally, including prior felony convictions for murder, the number of victims in the crimes and known gang associations. Such factors qualified the cases for the harsher sentence without the consideration of mitigating circumstances that could trigger lesser punishment.

The defendants were all sentenced prior to the Please see JUSTICES, page 4A

Douglas County commissioners will vote Wednesday on resolutions to bar people from carrying weapons into the county courthouse or any other county building, and to exempt the county from a new state gun law that would otherwise require them to COUNTY allow certain COMMISSION people to carry concealed weapons into the building.

The resolution provides for a four-year exemption on all county buildings, including the courthouse, the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, both the adult jail and the juvenile detention facility, Public Works Department facilities and all of the buildings at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

That would give the county until Dec. 31, 2017, to install security features on those buildings to prevent anyone from carrying weapons inside, which the new law requires in order for local governments to continue prohibiting people with valid permits from carrying concealed weapons into municipal buildings.

The new law does not apply to public schools. State colleges and universities were given until until 2017 to come into compliance.

The new law, however, exempts those plans from the Kansas Open Records Act and only requires local governments to make them available upon request to the Attorney General’s Office and local law enforcement agencies. “A security plan has been developed for the building being exempted which supplies adequate security to the occupants of the building and merits the prohibition of the carrying of a concealed handgun as authorized by the personal and family protection act,� the resolution states.

Man critically injured in head-on crash An unidentified elderly man was in critical condition Monday after he drove into oncoming traffic on Sixth Street in Lawrence and struck another vehicle.

Trent McKinley, a Law-

ride. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said the department has expressed some concerns about the proposal. He said vehicles suddenly stopping along busy city streets to pick up a hitchhiker could create traffic problems.

McKinley said the concept of hitchhiking also goes against one of the common pieces of safety advice the department offers. “We wouldn’t suggest people taking a ride with people they don’t know,�

McKinley said.

O’Brien said she hopes to address safety concerns by having people who sign up for the program submit to a background check.

The program also would recommend that hitchhik-

ers send a text to Lawrence OnBoard that includes the license plate or membership number of the motorist they are riding with.

The program, however, will allow motorists who haven’t undergone a background check to pick up hitchhikers. O’Brien said users of the program will have to use common sense. “But the bad reputation hitchhiking got in the 1970s was way overblown, I think,� said O’Brien, who said her personal rules include not accepting a ride at night or entering a car with two or more men in it.

O’Brien said that if commissioners approve the traffic ordinance change, it likely still would be six months to a year before a program was operational.

scheduled to meet again in executive session to continue discussing those plans.

Also Wednesday, commissioners will discuss the possibility of listing the courthouse on the city of Lawrence’s Register of Historic Places to gain control over future development in the surrounding environs of the building.

The courthouse is already listed on both the state and national registers of historic places. In years past, those designations meant that any development within a 500foot radius of the building had to be reviewed and approved by the state historic preservation officer.

But Kansas lawmakers changed that statute in 2013 by removing protection of the environs area.

Local developer Doug Compton has proposed building a multi-story residential and retail com-

plex at 11th and Massachusetts, immediately north of the courthouse.

Commissioners will meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the courthouse for the final scheduled meeting for 2013. Commissioners will not meet Wednesday, Dec. 25, or the following Wednesday, Jan. 1.

In other business, the commission will:

Consider changing the county’s permit fee schedule to allow for a single, flat inspection fee of $115 for stand-alone solar, thermal and photovoltaic energy installations.

Consider authorizing staff to negotiate and finalize contracts with US Bank for banking and procurement card services, and FIS for merchant services.

And consider approval of cereal malt beverage license for Clinton Marina, 1329 East 800 Road, and Clinton Submarina, 1329 East 800 Road.

rence Police Department spokesperson, said police think a medical problem preceded the crash. The two occupants of the second vehicle did not require hospitalization.

Damage to both vehicles was “moderate,� McKinley said.

According to McKinley, first responders performed CPR on the elderly man at the scene, and on Monday evening he was still

receiving treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. McKinley said he did not have the man’s name on Monday.

The crash occurred at about 1:15 p.m. near the intersection of Sixth and Missouri streets. McKinley said the man, driving eastbound, crossed the center line and the westbound car then attempted to move to the right to avoid a collision.

Justices

Those arguments include the notion that changes made to the law amount to a new crime and punishment that didn’t exist until September and thus couldn’t be applied to cases that were decided as much as a decade ago. If the justices agree with defense attorneys that the changes violate the U.S. Constitution, the sentences would be set aside and the penalty would revert to a mandatory 25-year sentence.

The four cases heard thus far are the appeals of Dustin B. Hilt, Juan Lopez, Eldier Molina and Matthew Astorga, whose case was sent back to Kansas by the U.S. Supreme Court without a hearing after the ruling in the Virginia case.

Randall Hodgkinson, an attorney for Astorga, was critical of the notion that the legislative changes could be used on the nearly four dozen “Hard 50� cases either still at the district court level or on appeal. He reinforced those arguments during Astorga’s hearing Monday. “It makes no difference whether (the legislative change) is labeled procedural or substantive, retrospective application would be prohibited,� he said.

The justices gave no indication when they would rule on the four cases, and their decisions could still leave the question of retroactivity unresolved if the facts of the convictions are upheld.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

June U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in a case out of Virginia regarding the imposing of mandatory minimum sentences. The high court ruled that in such sentences only juries, not judges, as was the case in Kansas, can impose the mandatory minimum. Jurors also must weigh both factors supporting the “Hard 50� and those supporting a sentence of life with a mandatory 25 years before parole eligibility.

The justices didn’t specifically rule on the Kansas law, but Attorney General Derek Schmidt said the court’s opinion had the effect of finding the Kansas scheme unconstitutional.

He asked Gov. Sam Brownback to call legislators into session to fix the law, which happened in a two-day special session in September.

While not commenting specifically about the hearings Monday and Tuesday in Topeka, Schmidt said he wasn’t surprised by the arguments being raised on appeal, but he insisted the law was constitutional. He maintains that the changes made to the law were procedural in stating who makes the finding that a “Hard 50� is warranted. “I think the arguments have been known and considered since the start of the process,� Schmidt said.

ary Blythe can still visit her relatives during the holidays.

For now.

But the retired social worker can imagine a time when she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way things are going, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the picture that some day I might not be able to make it for Christmas or Thanksgiving, which would be sad,â&#x20AC;? said Blythe, 86, of Lawrence, who gets around with the help of a walker but may eventually have to rely solely on her motorized scooter.

So she was thrilled recently to hear about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;visitabilityâ&#x20AC;? movement, which advocates making homes more accessible for those with disabilities.

This is particularly important during the holidays, when many of us will be hosting relatives who are elderly or have a disability.

Dot Nary, a research associate at the Kansas University Research and Training Center on Independent Living, says that the more accessible our homes are the less isolated people with disabilities will feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This really is a health issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all healthier when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re socially connected.â&#x20AC;?

To research the issue of visitability, she recently talked to more than a dozen wheelchair users: There was the mother who was unable to go to play dates or birthday parties with her young child; the guy who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in decades; the man who could only meet friends in public spaces like coffee shops and said, that, consequently, his social interactions ended up feeling more businesslike than personal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to hear is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very

First semester of college requires more than a few mental adjustments Wes: When completing my college dorm application in spring 1981, I added this short note: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do a lot of things to me, but you cannot put me with a smoker.â&#x20AC;? A few months later, my new roommateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first gesture of friendship was to offer me a Pall Mall. So it is with college life. It gives you exactly what you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting and demands that you cope. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the point, really: To get you ready for an adult life that does exactly the same thing.

This week, 2012-13 coauthor Katie Guyot and runner-up Emily VanSchmus wax philosophic on their first semesters living away from home.

Emily (Drake University, Des Moines): Time management is crucial.

In high school, your days are structured: classes all day, afterschool activities, dinner, homework, hang out with friends.

In college, there are only a few classes each day. At first, that left a whole afternoon free for Netflix and naps. But soon, I found myself staying up late to finish assignments that I could have finished during the day. As my homework load increased, I learned to budget my time to get assignments done and still have time to sleep. My best advice is to do homework when you get home from class, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the middle of the day. That will save you from writing essays at 4 a.m.

My peers and professors have affected me much more than I ever expected. The night before move-in, I worried about whom I would

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kendra Schwartz meet. Would they be weird? Would they like me? Today, I can honestly say that these are some of the best people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever known, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine surviving this tricky first semester without them.

Friends become family in college because your parents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick, your friends will take care of you. If you have car trouble, they will come get you.

Friends stand by you on the nights when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stressed or upset. They really do help make college the best years of your life.

Katie (Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio): Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the advice I was given before entering college: O Study hard, but not too hard.

O Have fun, but not too much fun.

O Try new things, but not so many things that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to do not-so-new things, like breathing.

It was by following these inscrutable scraps of wisdom that I lost myself somewhere in Central Ohio. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not such a bad thing.

In fact, most of my freshman adventures have been spurred either by my figurative lack of

direction in life or my literal cluelessness on how to get from here to there.

You really have to lose yourself before you can find yourself, so I suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunate that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now taken classes I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enrolled in and joined clubs from which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now trying to extricate myself.

So, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal road map for freshman year, from one still lost on the journey: O You will be homesick.

Horrendously homesick.

You might even carry a Tupperware container of cat food in your backpack in order to build a following of stray cats to replace the feline family you left at home. But, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up; eventually college will be home.

O Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already arrived. Stop trying to impress the admissions office with your wellroundedness. Focus on the courses and activities you truly enjoy.

O Say goodbye to high school.

Your former teachers prepared you for college so you could grow without remaining rooted in old endeavors.

O When your adviser says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Select courses that take you out of your comfort zone!â&#x20AC;? take baby steps, not a Neil Armstrong leap.

Freshman year is already like a moon walk.

O Regardless of your stress level, always treat yourself well. Because I am an acronym nerd, I call this the SELF ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sleep enough, Eat enough, Laugh enough and Feel happy.

DEATHS

String of recent armed robberies may be connected, Lawrence police say Lawrence police believe a string of armed robberies that occurred near Iowa Street, between East 23rd and West 31st streets, over the past week and a half may be connected.

From Dec. 5 to Dec. 14, three businesses have been held up by a suspect with a similar description, according to Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.

The reports describe the suspect as a Hispanic male, about 5-foot-8 and 150

pounds with black clothing.

“Based on general description and some of the other details of the robbery, we believe those crimes could be connected,” McKinley said.

Low Cost Tobacco Mart, at 2104 W. 25th St., was robbed by a suspect armed with a knife on Dec. 5. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

On Dec. 10, an AutoZone at 2714 Iowa St. had cash and merchandise stolen by a suspect who partially

displayed a firearm to an employee.

A robbery then occurred at La Tiendita, a grocery store at 3022 Iowa St., on Dec. 14 when a suspect entered with a gun and left with money.

Cameras inside La Tiendita and Low Cost Tobacco Mart captured images of the suspect.

Monday, McKinley described the gun in the latter two robberies as a semiautomatic handgun.

“We don’t have any infor-

mation thus far that leads us towards multiple people being involved in this,” McKinley said.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect or the robberies can call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-8327509 or CrimeStoppers at 785-843-TIPS (8477).

Callers to CrimeStoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for an award of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

“We don’t have enough opportunities,” arts Commissioner Mandy Enfield said during a recent discussion on the topic.

Recommending clarifications to the resolution is likely to be a goal of the Cultural Arts Commission in the coming year.

A $75,000 Percent for Art project — a series of glass sculptures by artists Dierk Van Keppel and John Shreve — is part of the library reconstruction under way now.

The last time Lawrence completed a Percent for Art project was more than six years ago, according to a list from the city. A sculpture entitled “Beacon” was installed at Fire Station No. 4 in 2007.

Before that, projects ranging from $1,000 (a framed piece called “Cowboy, Cowgirl, Cowchild” at the Police Substation, 15th Street and Inverness Drive, 1988) to $100,000 (a trio of projects at the new Lawrence-Douglas County Health Facility, Third and Main streets, 1999) were done nearly every year or two since the city passed the Percent for Art resolution in 1986.

The resolution says the City Commission may set aside up to 2 percent of the cost of all capital improvement projects for the acquisition, purchase and installation of art in public places.

It defines capital improvements as city buildings and renovations, parking facilities and lots, park improvements, park land and recreational facilities that are listed in the city’s annual capital improvements plan and require more than $10,000 in city funds.

So projects like roundabouts and trails are in a gray area.

Brownback’s plan would provide an additional $16 million in state funds for each of the next 5 years, or $80 million in total.

He announced the proposal as he held a series of interviews with reporters in preparation for the 2014 legislative session that starts Jan. 13.

Lawrence doesn’t charge a fee for all-day kindergarten, but some districts do.

The Eudora school district charges a fee of $250 per semester to cover the cost not covered by state

A specific increase hasn’t yet been proposed, but Dever said he believes the conversation will include options that could range from about $19,000 a year to upwards of $30,000 a year.

A survey of eleven regional communities found most pay their commissioners the same as or less than Lawrence pays.

The survey, compiled by the city manager’s office, found the highest-paid commissioners in the region are in Kansas City,

The roundabout, for example, isn’t a routine street improvement (not eligible) but isn’t exactly a park, either (eligible), Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said. The

project wasn’t on the last capital improvements plan but was pitched, approved and will be designed before next year’s plan is adopted.

Work on the roundabout is expected to begin next year. The City Commission approved the project last month, and installation is expected to

aid. Eudora Superintendent Don Grosdidier said the fees were implemented after the district experienced budget cuts.

Brownback’s proposal quickly launched a political response over cuts to education and a pending court ruling that schools have been shortchanged hundreds of millions of dollars.

“The No. 1 priority should be restoring the cuts Gov. Brownback already made and fully funding our schools,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Democrat from Lawrence who is running against Brownback for governor in 2014.

The Kansas Supreme Court is weighing arguments in a lawsuit that

could force the Legislature to increase school funding by more than $500 million per year. A lower court panel ruled the state unconstitutionally cut funding while also approving massive tax cuts.

In an interview with the Journal-World, Brownback declined to say how the state would respond if the court ordered a funding increase. A ruling is expected in the next month or so.

“Let’s see what they do,” he said of the court. “My major effort is going to be to see that the schools are not shut down.”

He said the all-day kindergarten proposal came about through meetings with legislative leaders and school officials.

On another education front, Brownback said, “I’m not hearing any consensus view” from legislative leaders when it comes to higher education funding.

Earlier this year, Republican leaders approved cutting $34.3 million in state funding over two years to the public universities, making Kansas one of the few states in the country to reduce higher education funding. Higher education officials said the cuts were responsible for a portion of the most recent tuition increases.

Brownback signed those cuts into law, but he has said he wants to restore the funding.

Kan., which pays commissioners $12,000 to $14,400 per year. The unified government also offers health insurance and a partial car allowance for commissioners.

Of the 11 communities surveyed, only three — Overland Park, Kansas City and Topeka — paid more than Lawrence. Although not included in the survey, Douglas County commissioners make about $33,800 per year and are eligible for the county’s health insurance and pension plans.

Lawrence city commissioners can buy individual health insurance for $130 a year, and are eligible for the pension plan, but

Lawrence does not offer commissioners a car allowance.

Dever said he will propose that no pay increase be granted to any current city commissioner unless the commissioner is reelected.

Aron Cromwell, who was leaving the commission after not seeking reelection, raised the idea of a salary increase in April.

Cromwell said a higher salary would encourage a broader diversity of candidates, particularly people who are in jobs that would require them to take off work to serve.

Currently, four of the five commissioners are business owners, while

the other is the director of a nonprofit agency.

Commissioner Mike Amyx said he was open to the idea of changing commission salaries, as long as none of the salaries would be changed Please see more obituaries on page 2A before the next election.

He said the idea of making the position more attractive to a variety of residents is important.

Plus, Amyx said the job is time-consuming.

“It doesn’t take very many issues before you are spending 20 to 30 hours per week at it,” Amyx said.

EDITORIALS

Watered-down plan Lawrence city commissioners need to consider whether a watered-down version of the rental registration program still accomplishes its intended purpose.

A

fter months of negotiation, the city’s proposed rental registration ordinance is in danger of becoming so watered down that it won’t accomplish its intended goals.

Tonight, Lawrence city commissioners will consider an amended ordinance crafted by Mayor Mike Dever and Commissioner Mike Amyx that would drastically reduce the scope of the measure, which was intended to ensure that basic life, health and safety codes are being met in rental housing throughout the city. Concerned that the proposed ordinance had gotten too broad, Dever and Amyx took a marker to the plan, deleting more than half of the items for which a landlord could be cited.

In addition, Dever and Amyx want to put a sunset provision in the ordinance that would automatically end the inspection program at the end of 2017 unless commissioners at that time expressly extend the ordinance. The sunset provision seems to undermine enforcement of the ordinance and ensure a continuing political fight over its provisions. Why is the sunset necessary, when the commission can reconsider, alter and/or throw out the ordinance whenever they want? As Commissioner Jeremy Farmer pointed out, the sunset also risks having the city hire staff and bear other expenses to set up a program that could be abandoned in three or four years.

Although commissioners had said the scope of the registration law should include issues of health and safety, many of the 38 items Amyx and Dever deleted from a list of 66 possible violations clearly fall into that category. Handrails on balconies and decks, minimum ceiling heights on habitable rooms, proper venting for clothes dryers and safely installed plumbing fixture drains are among the deletions.

Also deleted are items of particular concern to neighboring property owners such as uncut grass and improperly parked vehicles. The deleted items, Dever pointed out, are still covered by city code and inspectors can note violations, but landlords would only face fines, not the possibility of losing their rental licenses for the property.

That philosophy isn’t much different than saying Lawrence really doesn’t need a rental registration/inspection program because tenants already can report violations and request an inspection whenever they want. The purpose of having an ordinance was to set a higher, more stiffly enforced standard for safety and maintenance of rental property for the benefit of both tenants and neighboring property owners.

The proposed changes seem to compromise that goal. Commissioners should carefully consider at this point whether such an ordinance achieves what they intended it to achieve.

Iran says it’s still committed to deal TEHRAN — Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that despite hitting a “snag” in nuclear negotiations last week, Iran is committed “100 percent” to reaching a comprehensive final agreement. But he voiced tough positions on key issues and said “it’s going to be a bumpy road,” with difficult bargaining ahead.

Zarif, who is Iran’s top chief negotiator, outlined his views in an hourlong interview at the foreign ministry here Sunday.

He said that his country would continue the talks, despite what he called the “extremely counterproductive” U.S. Treasury Department announcement last week of new steps to enforce existing sanctions.

Iranian concern was eased, Zarif said, after his contacts last week with Secretary of State John Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the chief European Union negotiator, Lady Catherine Ashton. “What I have heard from Secretary Kerry and Lady Ashton is that they are committed to an early finalization of the Geneva process with a view to reaching a comprehensive agreement.

I share that objective.”

Dressed in a diplomat’s blue pinstripe suit and speaking fluent, American-educated English, Zarif presented Iran’s case on nuclear and regional issues. He was frank about his disagreements with leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and said Iran was ready to play a more ac-

Zarif, seen by critics as the leader of Iran’s “charm offensive,” has become the most visible international face of a regime seeking a deal that would end punishing economic sanctions. He helped negotiate the breakthrough interim agreement reached last month in Geneva to freeze Iran’s nuclear program for six months. He said that in a follow-on comprehensive agreement, Iran would affirm its commitment to a peaceful nuclear program.

But he didn’t provide specific responses to administration concerns about activities the U.S. argues aren’t consistent with a civilian program.

On enrichment, for ex-

ample, Zarif insisted that Iran could continue its domestic program with some limits and greater transparency. “We do not see any reason now that we have put so much time and effort in it, and brought (the West) to the point of abandoning the illusion of zero enrichment in Iran, why should we accept anything less.”

As for Iran’s heavy-water reactor at Arak that would produce plutonium that could be reprocessed as nuclear fuel, Zarif explained: “We cannot roll back the clock 20 years and ask Iran to simply get rid of a project that has been the subject of a great deal of human and material investment.

However, there are various ways of making sure that this reactor will remain exclusively peaceful.”

Asked about a U.S. demand to close the enrichment facility at Fordow, built into a mountainside, Zarif said: “If you sit in Iran, and you see people having concerns about Fordow, the only conclusion you can draw is that they want to attack you.”

Zarif said he didn’t want to negotiate in public, and he argued that acceptable compromises could be found on such issues. But President Obama, pressed by Israel, has said he would reject an agreement that doesn’t reverse the Iranian program and ensure that it will be restricted to civilian uses only.

“We do not follow a policy of ambiguity; this is not our intention. We follow a policy

of clarity — that we do not seek nuclear weapons,” Zarif said. “But we’re not going to accept diktats.”

Zarif acknowledged his recent public dispute with Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, about what Zarif said were Iran’s limited military capabilities. “I respect Gen. Jafari’s remarks, his views, and I expect him to have differences of views with me,” he said. He also noted that some hard-liners in Iran who oppose a deal with the West “have asked for my removal.”

But Zarif insisted that he and President Hassan Rouhani lead a consensual process in all areas of foreign policy, including regional issues such as Syria. “Iran believes there is no military solution for Syria,” Zarif said, noting that he is ready to attend a so-called Geneva 2 conference to seek a political settlement, so long as there are no preconditions for the removal of President Bashar al-Assad.

“We’re living at a crossroad,” the Iranian foreign minister said. But he rejected former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s argument that Iran must become “a nation rather than a cause.” He argued that, like America, Iran wanted to press both its values and its interests. America isn’t alone in seeing itself as an “extraordinary nation,” Zarif said: “We do, too.”

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Dec. 17, 1913: “‘It is time the people in YEARS the interior of the counAGO try were given some aid IN 1913 by the United States government,’ declared G. W. Lansberry of Washington, D. C., representing the National Highways Association, in an address before a dozen local Good Roads boosters last night. ‘We have a bill ready for presentation to Congress asking for an appropriation for $500,000,000 which will be sufficient to build a road across the continent. Now the question is, do you want this road through Kansas, through Lawrence?”

NAFTA relaunch is welcome news WASHINGTON — The Obama administration, which is negotiating separate free trade deals with Asian and European countries, is “exploring” a regional trade plan for the Americas that would be the most ambitious hemispheric initiative in years.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview that he would like to first seek an agreement to deepen the existing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and Canada, and to expand it afterward to the rest of Latin America.

“It’s something I actually have asked some folks here to explore, and I’ve had conversations with a couple of people outside of here who were very knowledgeable about hemispheric relationships,” Kerry said. “And they’re very encouraging about it, so we’re going to try to do our due diligence on this, and I’m really hopeful.”

NAFTA will turn 20 years old in 2014, and has lost much of its earlier impetus in recent years. U.S. officials say next year’s anniversary will be a golden opportunity to relaunch it.

In the rare interview on Latin American affairs that he gave me for the Miami Herald and “Oppenheimer Presenta” on CNN en Espanol last week, Kerry suggested that the idea of strengthening NAFTA is more than a theoretical aspiration. He said he has been discussing it with former U.S.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

ambassadors and trade representatives, and that he plans to put it on the table.

The United States, Mexico and Canada would be “the major block of it, reaching out to the rest of Central America, the Caribbean, Latin America,” Kerry said. He added that the plan would be to start in North America, because several South American nations are not yet willing to forge closer commercial ties with the United States.

Asked when he would do that, Kerry noted that he has only been on the job for eight months, and that he has another three years ahead of him.

“We’re not finished, unless I screw up,” he said, laughing.

Top aides to Kerry say the plan to relaunch NAFTA could come as early as February, when President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with his Mexican and Canadian counterparts at a North American Leaders’ Summit in Mexico. That summit is supposed to be a regular annual meeting, but it did not

take place this year.

The United States has not proposed a new trade bloc in the Americas since negotiations for the Free Trade Area of the Americas collapsed in 2005, when Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela effectively killed the idea at a summit in Mar del Plata, Argentina, attended by then-President George W. Bush.

Since then, the United States has signed separate trade deals with Peru, Colombia and Panama, but has not tried to resurrect plans for a regional free trade deal in the Western Hemisphere.

Instead, the Obama administration has launched a TransPacific Partnership (TPP) negotiation with 11 Pacific rim countries — mostly Asian countries such as Japan and Malaysia, but also including some Latin American Pacific Coast countries, such as Mexico — and a separate Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with 28 European Union nations.

If Washington signs the proposed trans-Pacific and transAtlantic trade agreements, several major Latin American countries not included in the TPP — such as Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela — would be left outside the two biggest global trading blocs.

According to top Kerry aides, the three NAFTA countries are planning to discuss, among other things, a regional energy agreement. Last week, Mexico’s Congress passed a

historic bill that will change the constitution to end 75 years of total government control over its oil reserves, allowing foreign investors to help develop unexplored oil fields.

The rapid increase in trade between the United States, Mexico and Canada slowed in recent years in part because of stiffer border controls in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, and also because anti-Mexican sentiment fueled by Fox News anchors and other U.S. anti-immigration zealots has inhibited U.S. policy-makers from pushing for deeper economic ties with Mexico.

My opinion: There is nothing wrong with the Obama administration’s initiatives to create U.S.-Asia and U.S.European economic blocs, but it doesn’t make sense to do that without U.S. partners in the Americas. If the United States wants to effectively compete with China and other emerging economic powers, it needs to build manufacturing and services supply chains in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

In that sense, Kerry’s revelation about a possible relaunching of the NAFTA deal is welcome news. And judging from the latest American University poll, there is no excuse for not doing it immediately, at the upcoming three-country summit in Mexico.

HIGH SCHOOL HOOPS

Showtime nears A little more than a year ago, the football programs at Lawrence High and Free State treated the city every week with two of the most exciting teams in the state.

This winter, expect that same kind of entertainment on the basketball court.

The Lions (3-1) and Firebirds (3-1) both began the season in the top 10 of the Class 6A rankings, and it would take some significant upsets for either of them to get knocked out at any point in the coming Cole Moreano, months. Although both Free State teams lost this past Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each against one of 5Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those setbacks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them any less dangerous.

Lawrence has a devastating backcourt duo in sophomore Justin Roberts and junior Anthony Bonner. If they seemed hard to guard last year, opposing coaches will be pulling their hair out, slamming their white boards and stomping their feet even more now, because Roberts and Bonner will keep blowing by defenders and hitting contested three-pointers from now until the end of the season.

Free State can waste foes in a slightly different fashion. One never knows which players might take over at any point of a game. It could be the Firebirdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most athletic option, senior slasher Khadre Lane, a dynamic finisher in transition who can fly higher than any other Firebird. Or smooth senior shooter Cole Moreano, capable of spotting up from three-point range or posting up an undersized guard. Basketball strongman Blake Winslow, also a senior, imposes his will with force, and that can come on a crushing screen followed by a roll to the rim or by pounding the offensive glass.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great news about having two of the best teams in the state playing in the same city: We get to watch them battle twice this

Justin Roberts, LHS

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Showdowns should be extra-special

season. And the bonus holiday gift: Part 1 of the City Showdown comes Friday, at LHS, in The Jungle.

The must-see hoops display is scheduled to start at 7, but be advised to get there way earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless you prefer standing or peeking through doorways from the lobby when you watch basketball. These games tend to be memorable, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to claim a seat in the sure-to-be packed gym.

Even when one team is considered to be in the middle of a down season and there is a perceived heavy favorite, City Showdowns have a way of coming down to the final possession and/or producing unexpected heroes.

With the kind of talent competing for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bragging rights this year, go ahead and count on fireworks, because both the Lions and Firebirds are good enough to make it to the 2014 state tournament.

FSHS coach Chuck Law, in his ninth season leading the program, thinks the last time both teams were this good simultaneously was the 2007-08 season, when Dorian Green and LHS lost in the 6A championship game to Wichita Southeast, and the Firebirds finished 13-8 with a sub-state loss.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have too much bearing on either teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of making it to state, but it will have a championshipgame environment and the kinds of players who will send fans in both green and red into frenzies.

The fun will come in seeing who sends the decibel levels into unbearable territory. Collectively, Roberts, Bonner, Lane (who at this point is questionable because of a leg injury), Moreano and Winslow figure to make that happen at least a dozen or so times.

But who else will light up The Jungle?

Firebirds Keith Loneker, Reshawn Caro, Weston Hack, Tristan Garber, Justin Narcomey, Innocent Anavberokhai and Keegan McKinney will play key roles, too, against the likes of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong supporting cast of Connor Henrichs, John Barbee, Price Morgan, Ben Rajewski, Anthony Riley and Fred Brou.

Get your popcorn ready. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost time for the show.

Jayhawks canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to return to fieldhouse

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

There have been several volleyball matches and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball contests played in Allen Fieldhouse the past several weeks.

But there have been no

menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball games held in Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition-rich building since the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 30-point rout of Towson on Nov. 22.

Ravens slip past Detroit

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens moved a step closer toward having a shot at defending their title.

Justin Tucker had a lot to do with that.

Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise-record 61yard field goal with 38 seconds left lifted Baltimore to an 18-16 win over the Detroit Lions in a Monday night matchup with major playoff implications.

Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam sealed the victory with an interception â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matthew Staffordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third of the night.

Stafford threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria with 2:21 left, putting Detroit ahead 1615. But the Lions were unable to make a 2-point conversion and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent Baltimore from setting up its sensational kicker for his sixth field goal of the game and 33rd in a row.

Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick went just inside the right upright and barely had enough distance, eight days after Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Prater broke the NFL record with a 64-yard field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get all of it, got enough of it,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just glad to get out of here with a victory at a time when the team needed one.â&#x20AC;?

Tucker, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a field goal since he was 0 for 2 in Week 2 at Cleveland, has the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest streak since Matt Stover made 36 in a row for the Ravens from 2005-06, according to STATS. Detroit (7-7) has hurt its playoff chances by losing four of its last five.

Royals announce Infante deal: $30.25M KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Royals filled the most glaring hole in their roster Monday night when they finalized a $30.25 million, four-year deal with Omar Infante to become their primary second baseman.

The agreement, which includes a club option for 2018, was reached last Friday. Infante will be introduced during a news conference Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium.

The notoriously frugal Royals have been aggressive this offseason after posting their best record in more than two decades at 86-76. They already have signed left-hander Jason Vargas to a $32 million, four-year contract and traded reliever Will Smith to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfielder Norichika Aoki.

Vargas and Aoki filled two major needs, but Infante may plug the most vexing one.

The Royals churned through six players last season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emilio Bonifacio, Jamey Carroll, Chris Getz, Johnny Giavotella, Elliot Johnson and Miguel Tejada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; combined to hit just .243 with four home runs, none of them doing enough to win the job on a full-time basis for next season.

Bonifacio was the most likely option, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll instead slide into a utility role thanks to his ability to play around the infield along with the outfield. Infante will primarily play second base, though he also has the ability to play several infield positions and the outfield.

Infante, who turns 32 on Dec. 26, played exclusively at second base for Detroit last season. He hit .318 with 10 homers and 51 RBIs in 118 games.

He 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 gave him an extra year while tacking on the club option to lure him to Kansas City.

The Royals are certainly familiar with Infante from having watched him play for their AL Central rival Detroit. He 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 AL pennant.

Infante has hit .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 with an ankle injury that occurred when the Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colby Rasmus slid into his leg.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Arizona, Tampa get title games Arizona will host the College Football Playoff championship in 2016 and Tampa, Fla., will be the site of the 2017 title game.

The conference commissioners who oversee the playoffs announced Monday their choices for the sites of the second and third championship games in the new postseason system that goes into effect next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was not an easy decision,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Hancock, executive director of the playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very competitive process. The decision was difficult because we received eight excellent proposals.â&#x20AC;?

The first championship game will played Jan. 12, 2015, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

The second title game is scheduled to be played Jan. 11, 2016, in Glendale, Ariz., at University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Fiesta Bowl and the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cardinals. The Fiesta Bowl is also part of the six-bowl semifinal rotation for the playoff, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t host a semifinal until the 2016 season.

The other bidders for the 2016 game were Jacksonville, Fla., New Orleans and Tampa.

Tampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raymond James Stadium, home of the Buccaneers, was a finalist to host the first championship game, and it was no surprise that

it was awarded one of the next two. The national title game in Tampa is scheduled to be played Jan. 9, 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to learn to lose before we can learn to win,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Higgins, director of the Tampa Bay sports commission.

The other bidders for the 2017 game were Jacksonville; the San Francisco Bay Area; Minneapolis; San Antonio, Texas; and South Florida.

FAU taps Arkansas aide BOCA RATON, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arkansas assistant head coach and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge was hired Monday as head coach at Florida Atlantic.

A native of nearby Plantation, Fla., Partridge has worked under head coach Bret Bielema the past six years, including five seasons at Wisconsin and the past season at Arkansas. He helped the Badgers reach the Rose Bowl three times.

Partridge also coached at Pittsburgh, Eastern Illinois, Iowa State and Drake, where he played and graduated in 1995. He was regarded as a top recruiter of South Florida players while at Arkansas and Wisconsin.

Carl Pelini resigned as coach Oct. 30 after FAU said he and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis acknowledged using illegal drugs. Rekstis also resigned.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL POLLS

Arizona, Syracuse men 1-2 Arizona remains the runaway No. 1 in The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college basketball poll after winning a close game at Michigan on Saturday.

The Wildcats (11-0), who won 72-70, received all but two of the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday.

Syracuse (10-0) got the other two No. 1 votes and remains second in a poll, with the top eight teams holding the same spot from last week.

Ohio State is third followed by Wisconsin, Michigan State, Louisville and Oklahoma State.

Duke and Villanova, which moved up two spots, were tied for eighth, while Connecticut dropped one spot to round out the top 10.

North Carolina, which beat Kentucky 82-77 on Saturday, moved from 18th to No. 14. The loss dropped the Wildcats, the preseason No. 1, from 11th to No. 19.

Kansas University fell from No. 13 to No. 18.

UConn women still on top The UConn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team remains the unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press poll, with a showdown against second-ranked Duke looming Tuesday night.

It will be the 52nd meeting between the top two teams in the poll, with the No. 1 team holding a 31-20 advantage.

The top 10 remained the same as last week with Tennessee, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Stanford, Louisville, Maryland, Baylor and South Carolina following the Blue Devils.

Klitschko vacates WBC title FRANKFURT, GERMANY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vitali Klitschko is leaving boxing to concentrate on Ukrainian politics and his role as an opposition leader.

Klitschko vacated his WBC world heavyweight title Monday and said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to fight again as he pursues a presidential bid in his home country, where citizens have been protesting for weeks in Kiev over President Viktor Yanukovychâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to shun closer ties with the European Union and push his country toward Russia.

The World Boxing Council proclaimed Klitschko a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Champion Emeritus,â&#x20AC;? a move that would allow him to challenge the new champion directly should he wish to resume his career.

Juco defensive back commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Two days before the beginning of the mid-year signing period, which opens Wednesday and runs through Jan. 15, 2014, the Kansas University football program landed another commitment from a player who plans to arrive early.

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M defensive back Ronnie Davis orally committed to KU early Monday, according to a report from JayhawkSlant.com.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Davis, who can play multi-

Hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

between games in the fieldhouse in the Self era, with the previous 19 days four different times.

The longest stretch in the modern era appears to be 32 days between home games from Dec. 16, 2000, to Jan. 17, 2001. Roy Williams was the coach at that time.

The longest stretch in the Larry Brown era was 25 days between home games. There was a 35day drought from Dec. 14, 1974, to Jan. 18, 1975, in the Ted Owens era. Back then, however, fewer nonconference games were played, and KU generally was away from home a long time around the time of the Big Eight Holiday Tournament in Kemper Arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a good schedule as long as you can get through it,â&#x20AC;? Self said. His Jayhawks have lost at CU and Florida and dropped a game to Villanova in the Bahamas with wins this season over Louisiana at Monroe, Duke, Iona, Towson, Wake For-

ple secondary spots, chose KU after the Jayhawks jumped into the recruiting process late. He previously had been committed to Utah State but picked Kansas because he grew up in Big 12 country (Oklahoma) and always wanted to play in the Big 12.

Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was the lead recruiter for Davis, who also had offers from Arkansas State, Colorado State, Kentucky, New Mexico, Toledo, Tulane and UAB. Davis, who primarily played cornerback this fall, is a three-star pros-

pect, and he finished the 2013 season with five interceptions. He is a midyear graduate and expects to report to campus in January. He plans to sign his letter of intent Wednesday.

Next season, the Jayhawks will return five starters from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary, as cornerbacks Dexter McDonald and JaCorey Shepherd, safeties Isaiah Johnson and Cassius Sendish and nickel back Courtney Arnick all have eligibility remaining. Even several of their back-ups are scheduled to return for 2014, but it ap-

pears that Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; versatility and flexibility â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much like that of Sendish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was what caught the eye of the KU coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Coach Bowen) talked to me about where I would fit into their scheme,â&#x20AC;? Davis told JayhawkSlant.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jon Kirby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said their defense was improved and I could definitely come in and help. He said I could either play corner or safety.

He also talked to me about the possibility of playing nickel. He said he likes how I play corner or in the nickel match up against guys on the inside.â&#x20AC;?

Davis also told Kirby

est and UTEP to go with Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80-63 win over New Mexico in Kansas City, Mo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably lost a little confidence during a stretch. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all bad. A lot of times you can camouflage weaknesses by beating teams you should beat, especially guarantee games at home.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had that luxury.

Even in wins, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pushed. Those are good things. We will be pushed three more times without question. Even though they are at home, they will be hard games.â&#x20AC;?

KU will meet Georgetown (6-2) on Saturday, Toledo (9-0) on Dec. 30 and San Diego State (7-1) on Jan. 5 in the final three nonconference games on the schedule, all in Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our next three opponents have a combined record of 21-3,â&#x20AC;? Self said, understating by a victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toledo is still undefeated. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance to get some momentum by beating some good teams if we play well before conference play.â&#x20AC;?

After looking at the film, Self thought KU played well Saturday.

Junior point guard Naadir Tharpe celebrated his

return to a starting position after a two-game absence by dishing nine assists against four turnovers and scoring eight points in 37 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is trying,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am probably harder on Naadir than I am anybody just because I think he should know. We have had numerous talks. He does know. He gets it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was doing much to help the other guys, whether it be on the court or off the court. I got frustrated with him. We put him on the bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t react that well (to benching) so that was a little bit disappointing to me,â&#x20AC;?

Self added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a talk about that. The bottom line is, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as valuable a player as we have. He can play. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great kid. He has to understand his value to us. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take days off. He is the only one we have with any experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perry (Ellis, 21 points, nine rebounds) had a good game, obviously, and the big kid was terrific,â&#x20AC;? he noted of Joel Embiid, who had 18 points and six boards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 17 points the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a good team.

People will find out. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll either win the Mountain

West or finish second, because the other team we play (from that league), San Diego State, will win it or finish second.â&#x20AC;?

Williams a juco All-American Kansas commitment Devon Williams, an offensive tackle from Georgia Military Academy, was

named a first-team juco All-American on Monday.

Williams, 6-5, 335, committed to Kansas earlier this month, a day after GMC teammate Keyon Haughton picked the Jayhawks. Haughton is scheduled to graduate this month and is expected to report to campus in January. Williams is on pace to graduate in May and will report to Lawrence this summer.

The two starting offensive linemen helped lead the Bulldogs to the juco national championship game, where they fell to East Mississippi C.C. on Dec. 8.

Awards list: KU signees Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre are two of 10 high school players on the Naismith Trophy High School Player of the Year Early-Season Watch List, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Monday.

Alexander, 6-foot-8, from Curie High School in Chicago, and Oubre, 6-7 from Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., are ranked Nos 4 and 12 nationally by Rivals.com.

Alexander has led Curie to a 4-0 record. He recently scored 22 points, grabbed 20 rebounds and blocked five shots against Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High School at the Chicago Elite Classic. He scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in an overtime overtime victory against Chicago St. Rita. Through 15 games, Oubre (6-7, 200-pound) is averaging 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 steals.

Others on the list: Justin Jackson (North Carolina commit), Stanley Johnson (Arizona), Tyus Jones

WSU wants KU series: Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall tells Foxsportskansascity.com he would like to schedule a series with KU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one game in Allen Fieldhouse, one in Sprint Center and one at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to just be bought,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to go to Allen Fieldhouse for a check (as guarantee game opponent). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to play home-and-home.

Ultimately, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to put ourselves in a position where playing (the Jayhawks) or not playing them has no bearing on our success, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. It would be helpful, but still, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting ourselves in a position where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if they want to play or not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we have to do. One day, when it behooves them, then maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen.â&#x20AC;?

he was looking forward to the advantage of reporting to campus in time for spring football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad things ended up the way they did,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives me a chance to go in and play spring football and build a bond with the team and get my body ready. Going from junior college to division one can be hard, but I will be ready.â&#x20AC;?

No. 8 Duke rolls, 85-66 DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke’s shooting cooled as the game wore on while its defense had trouble consistently slowing down Gardner-Webb’s hot shooting.

Then again, Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski said, it was an OK performance for a team coming off such a long break.

Freshman Jabari Parker scored 21 points to help No. 8 Duke beat GardnerWebb 85-66 on Monday night in its first game in nearly two weeks.

Andre Dawkins added a season-high 18 points for the Blue Devils (8-2), who hadn’t played since beating Michigan on Dec. 3 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

That break, which included final exams, came after a tough stretch of four games in 10 days that included a loss to topranked Arizona in the NIT Season Tip-Off championship and a one-point home win over Vermont just before Thanksgiving.

“You don’t stop playing for two weeks and not have some slippage,” Krzyzewski said. “But overall I was pleased with our team.”

Duke won’t have to wait nearly as long to get back on the court. The Blue Devils face UCLA on Thursday in New York in their last game before the Christmas holiday.

Duke had its good and bad moments in this one, though it led by a comfortable margin all game. The offense roared to a fast start with accurate shooting and unselfish basketball, though things slowed down after halftime.

The defense didn’t do much to slow the Runnin’ Bulldogs (6-6) in the first half, but Krzyzewski said the Blue Devils played better on that end in the second half.

Duke led by 14 points at halftime and by 23 in the second half on the way to earning its 108th straight home nonconference victory.

Parker said the Blue Devils had a “a little bit of a setback” when it came to talking to each other on the defensive end.

“For the Michigan game we were really awake and aware of their players,” Parker said. “But this game we kind of let them go to their tendencies and we saw it played out well for them.”

Quinn Cook, who had 16 points and nine assists for Duke, noticed something else as the Blue Devils couldn’t miss on the offensive end through the first 141⁄2 minutes.

“I think when we get it going offensively like that, we kind of get lazy

on defense,” Cook said.

“We had it going early so we got lazy. But at some point, we’ve got to just get it out of our system.”

Duke made 17 of its first 23 shots (74 percent) with 14 assists on those baskets before finishing the half at nearly 59 percent.

The Blue Devils shot just 8 for 22 (36 percent) after halftime and finished the game at 50 percent, though they hit nine 3-pointers and converted 15 offensive rebounds into 13 secondchance points.

Jerome Hill scored a career-high 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting to go with nine rebounds to lead Gardner-Webb, which shot nearly 63 percent in the opening half before finishing at 54 percent for the game.

“We played pretty good offensively the entire first half,” GardnerWebb coach Tim Craft said. “Unfortunately we couldn’t get any stops on the other end.”

Parker finished 7-of-12 from the field with six rebounds in 26 minutes.

Dawkins, a fifth-year senior guard who sat out last season while he dealt with his sister’s death during his freshman year, finished 6-of-10 from the field, including 4-for-8 shooting from three-point range.

He knocked down his first four shots to help Duke to its fast start, which included a 7-0 burst in the span of a minute.

Tyler Thornton knocked down a 3 off an inbounds pass and Parker following with a jumper in the lane and a dunk on an alley-oop feed from Cook to make it 46-25 with 51⁄2 minutes left in the first half.

The only problem for Duke?

Gardner-Webb didn’t miss much, either.

Gardner-Webb got as close as 56-44 on Hill’s layup with 17:07 left, but Rodney Hood (15 points) answered with a threepoint play to turn away what amounted to Gardner-Webb’s closest push.

Wizards 102, Knicks 101 NEW YORK — Bradley Beal’s driving layup with six seconds remaining carried Washington past New York.

The Knicks didn’t use one of their three remaining timeouts after Beal’s basket. Carmelo Anthony took the inbounds pass, dribbled the up court and attempted a three-pointer that bounced off the rim as time expired.

Beal led the Wizards with 21 points, including their final seven as Washington erased a six-point fourth-quarter deficit.

Husband’s porn habit detrimental to marriage Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Now he erases the data from his phone so I won’t see it. After 28 years together, he is now deceiving me, and I am terribly hurt. He doesn’t seem to care how I feel or that he is damaging the trust between us.

What did I do wrong for him to treat me this way?

I have asked him to see a marriage counselor or a sex therapist with me, but he’s not interested.

I love him, but I don’t think I can live with this kind of life. Do you think watching and chatting with a real naked woman

online is cheating? What about watching porn behind your wife’s back? Is this normal behavior in a marriage? — Angel in Anaheim Dear Angel: A marriage is not healthy when one partner doesn’t care about the feelings of the other. Unlike old-fashioned pornography, the Internet provides real women, in real time, performing virtual sex acts.

This not only creates unrealistic expectations of one’s actual partner, but it can become addictive. Your husband may not be having an affair, but he is both sexually and emotionally connected to other women, which could be considered cheating. Since your husband refuses to go for counseling, please go on your own and sort it out.

Our daughter has since gotten engaged, and we are now in the process of creating the guest list. Are we obligated to invite Tom’s closest friends even though they have made no effort to stay in touch with our family? — Bitter in Vermont Dear Bitter: Unless your daughter would like these people to be invited, you are not obligated to include those “friends” who have made no effort to stay in your life (or hers) for the past three years.

O The panelists on “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO) look back at the sports stories that moved them in 2013.

They include personality profiles of Kelly Slater, the most decorated professional surfer in history, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers and sailor Alex Thomson.

There’s also Bill O’Brien, who was put in the unenviable position of succeeding legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.

Some stories depart the playing field entirely, such as the role of the Ultra soccer fans in Egypt’s revolution. Gumbel’s panel includes Mary Carillo, Frank Deford, Jon Frankel, Bernard Goldberg, Andrea Kremer and Soledad O’Brien.

For Tuesday, Dec. 17: This year others constantly seek you out. Their requests will run the scale of possibilities, and some of them could be excuses just to be around you. If you are single, your popularity is undeniable. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other’s company and want to spend more time together.

Dear Annie: My husband likes to watch porn.

I don’t care to watch it myself, but if my husband asks me to join him in his viewing, I will.

Recently, I found out that my husband was watching porn on his phone at work. When I confronted him, he claimed it was just an advertising pop-up. But I knew he was not being truthful. I checked his phone and found that these were actual websites that you have to log on to in order to view the contents.

I don’t like him to watch porn at all, but I’d rather we watch together than know he’s accessing live webcam shows and chat rooms. I consider this to be cheating. I have told him how it makes me feel and have asked him to stop.

But he says he’s going to continue because he enjoys it and sees nothing wrong with it.
