VERNON BREJCHA WORKS IN HIS STUDIO south of Lawrence, shaping hot glass into works of art.

Art of renowned local glassblower draws on methods from antiquity

N

othing, it seems, makes the hand of Vernon Brejcha quiver.

Not the heat from a furnace that burns a few thousand degrees, not the weight of a 5-foot pole with a ball of fire attached to its end, and not even the frailty of a very, very old bottle.

Brejcha lets the 2- to 3-inch piece of clear glass rest in the palm of his hand and announces to visitors that the bottle is from the Roman Empire. Then he plays the game he always plays with guests: Guess what it is.

A medicine bottle, I say.

The most common guess, but both wrong and boring.

Its true use is more interesting, but Brejcha is fascinated by it for another reason as well: how it was made. More than a thousand years ago, it was made much the same way he makes glass objects today in his rural Lawrence workshop. “It was a Roman who first blew through a hollow pipe and blew a glass bubble,� Brejcha says. “Why he decided to do it a second

time, I don’t know.�

That’s probably not true.

Brejcha knows. Brejcha is a master glassblower — a retired art professor from Kansas University and a glassblower who has pieces displayed across the world in corporate lobbies, fine museums and private collections. He surely has a pretty good idea of how that first Roman felt because he and other glassblowers still feel it all these years later. “There is just something about the process,� Brejcha says. “The process is magical. Glass is magic.�

About Vernon Brejcha Brejcha quit his high school teaching job in 1969 to attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin under famed glass artist Harvey Littleton, considered the father of the American studio glass movement. There was a problem, though: Brejcha had never applied to the school. “I was so naive,� Brejcha said. “I just showed up.�

Brejcha was accepted, graduated, and was among the first group of artists in the new American studio glass movement. Brejcha was an associate professor of art and design at KU for more than 25 years. More than 50 museums across the world have collected his glass pieces, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the Wedgwood Museum in England. His work sells in several galleries regionally and nationally.

Brejcha uses an ancient Roman container to show how little glassblowing has changed through the millennia.

Eighth-grade students in the Lawrence school district are all required to take a class called Career and Life Planning, where they are asked to begin thinking about what they want to study in the future, and what kind of careers they hope to have.

And at some point during that class, many of them will fill out an Individual Plan of Study, or an IPS, which is SCHOOLS meant to help them and their guidance counselors select the classes they’ll need in high school and beyond to pursue those goals. “They take a career assessment during that time, and they discuss planning goPlease see BOARD, page 5A

Brownback faces opposition from former GOP legislators

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Alarmed by the sharp change of direction in state government under Gov. Sam Brownback, a group of former Republican legislators has vowed to try to change his policies, with some members of the group working against his re-election.

The group of 70 people calls itself Traditional Republicans for Common Sense. “The governor’s poll numbers show that Kansans are not happy with what he is doing,� said Rochelle Chronister, a spokeswoman for Morris the group who has served as a legislator, state welfare agency secretary and chair of the Kansas Republican Party. “I think he has to be held accountable.�

The group includes a number of wellknown names in Kansas politics, such as former Senate President Steve Morris of Please see GOP, page 5A

A Kansas City, Kan., man was booked into the Douglas County Jail early Saturday morning on suspicion of intent to commit second-degree murder after a bystander was shot in the leg outside a bar in downtown Lawrence.

Marck Edward Fristoe, 21, was booked into jail at 5:55 a.m. He is also facing charges of criminal property damage and domestic

battery.

Sgt. Damon Thomas of the Lawrence Police Department described the victim, whose injury is not life threatening, as a bystander who was shot after an altercation broke out in a parking lot outside Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., at about 1:45 a.m. on Saturday.

Thomas said that an offduty officer followed one of the vehicles that left the scene, leading police to find Fristoe during a car

Journal-World news partner Operation 100 reported that police located a man with a single gunshot wound to the leg in the parking lot of the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., located near Brothers Bar & Grill.

At least one vehicle was also damaged by gunfire.

Police did not release the identity of the gunshot victim on Saturday.

predictable as the wind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working glass is almost like working a material that is alive,â&#x20AC;?

Brejcha said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will tell you when it is ready, and it will show you when it is not.â&#x20AC;?

Back to our game: a perfume bottle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second most popular guess, Brejcha says, and also wrong. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the other guesses made, because some of us, evidently, thought the Romans did some pretty odd things with bottles.

And they kind of did.

Brejcha explains that the wives of Roman soldiers would shed tears for their husbands before they went off to war. The tears would be kept in this small glass bottle. It is a Roman tear catcher.

Experts have dated it as being made sometime between 10 B.C. and 10 A.D. Think about that for a moment, especially during this season of Christmas trees and crosses.

This bottle is from his time. It is a good reminder of how much has changed. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch tears in a bottle anymore.

But it also is a reminder of how much hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All this, goes back to primitive times,â&#x20AC;? Brejcha says of his tools and processes.

The finest glass in the world is still made essentially the same way as it was during the time of Jesus: a pipe, a well-timed puff, and a craftsman in tune with an enchanted process. What a great holiday reminder of how beauty endures.

Governor guarded as big issues frame the legislative session

Woman gets big surprise during her first flight

Icy conditions snarl traffic

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Going into the final legislative session of his term before he faces Kansas voters again, Gov. Sam Brownback will likely make major decisions on school finance, abortion and renewable energy.

But the Republican governor, who enjoys strong Republican majorities in the House and Senate, is holding his cards close to Brownback the vest as he also focuses on his re-election campaign.

Brownback held brief interviews with reporters last week to talk about the upcoming session that starts Jan. 13. Brownback delivers his State of the State address Jan. 15.

Approximately five months after the session ends, Kansas voters will decide whether to give Brownback a second term, or elect likely Democratic nominee Paul Davis, the House minority leader from Lawrence.

School finance Brownback deflected questions about how he would respond if the Kansas Supreme Court orders the LegislaPlease see ISSUES, page 4A

At least eight vehicles were involved in one series of accidents around 3:30 p.m. on the Kansas Turnpike east of Lawrence near the Douglas-

Leavenworth county line.

A Kansas Turnpike Authority official said Saturday night she was unable to count how many other accidents had occurred between Lawrence and Topeka.

She said some of them involved injuries, but

HUTCHINSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It was a chilly night Friday as Briah Green stood quietly in the lobby of Wells Aircraft.

She was about ready to go on her first flight.

Green was nervous. She stood by her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Brady Phillips, as they waited for Austin Phillips to get out of the bathroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ter- He hoped rified,â&#x20AC;?

ture to increase funding to public schools. A lower court panel ruled the state should increase funding approximately $500 million per year because the state unconstitutionally cut school funding. Meanwhile, Brownback successfully pushed for massive income tax cuts that will certainly result in a budget explosion should the court tell the state to restore school cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see what they do,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said referring to the state Supreme Court, which is expected to issue a decision in the next month or so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My primary push on a near-term basis is to see that the schools are not shut down,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In 2005, the Kansas Supreme Court briefly considered keeping schools closed until legislators complied with court-ordered funding.

Austin Phillips had a very different reason for flying. He sat in the back seat of the plane and put on his headset. He hoped Green wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accidentally brush against his pocket. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was inside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least not yet.

Green was shaking in the seat next to Phillips as the plane took off. As soon as the plane hit its desired altitude and leveled out, she started to look around.

She pointed at familiar places and lights, which look different from that high up.

Abortion Brownback has signed into law every bill that has crossed his desk that is aimed at restricting abortions.

In response to a specific question on whether he would sign into law a bill that would prohibit abortions in Kansas after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, possibly around six weeks gestation, Brownback said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prolife. I will support pro-life legislation. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what bills may come up this round. I believe every life has incredible dignity and that starts at the beginning and it goes all the way through, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who the person is.â&#x20AC;?

Renewable energy GOP legislative leaders have said they want to repeal state law that requires major utilities to produce 20 percent of their energy from wind and other renewable sources by 2020.

He asked Green to marry him.

She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond for a moment, and then joked if he could have found a better time to ask? After all, she still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable with flying.

All joking aside, she said yes.

Brady Phillips, who was sitting in the front seat next to Richardson, tried to get video, but his camera phone instead shot video of his leg.

Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Carma Massingill, waited in the lobby of Wells Aircraft, where her daughter had been nervously anticipating her flight. She checked her Facebook, and sure enough, the announcement was already made before the plane landed.

County United Way seeks donations

Staff Reports

The United Way of Douglas County is seeking more donations to meet its fundraising goal for 2013.

Colleen Gregoire, United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign director, said she believes the campaign is getting close to reaching the $1.75 million goal. However, the organization may be unable to allocate as much money as it did last year unless more pledges are made.

Though the campaign officially ended on Dec.

6, donations are accepted any time before the New Year. The total amount raised will be announced in late February.

Funds from the campaign will be disbursed to local social service agencies early next year. The three main areas of support are education, health and self-sufficiency.

To donate, contact the United Way of Douglas County at 843-6626 or uwcamp@unitedwaydgco. org. To donate online, go to unitedwaydgco.org. Donations are tax deductible.

After the plane touched the ground, Green ran out and kissed the ground before she stood up to give her mother a hug. Massingill and the Phillips family gathered in the Wells Aircraft hangar to congratulate the couple. Green was still trembling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still shaking from the plane ride,â&#x20AC;? Austin Phillips said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or both,â&#x20AC;? Green said with a grin.

Green doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on getting in another plane anytime soon. For now, she will bask in her unexpected, pre-Christmas engagement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe this is happening right now,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Other group members include former state and U.S. Senator Sheila Frahm and former senators Dick Bond, Fred Kerr and Wint Winter Jr. and former House speakers R.H. Miller, Wendell Lady and Jim Braden.

The current state GOP leadership has little use for the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a sour grapes caucus,â&#x20AC;? said Clay Barker, executive director of the state Republican Party.

Always the top party in Kansas, the GOP is increasing its dominance over Democrats in voter registration and success in federal, statewide, legislative and county elections, Barker said.

Barker said many Democrats in Kansas are switching to the Republican Party because of what described as the failings of President Barack Obama.

Reward offered in 1999 missing boy case EL DORADO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An anonymous donor has put up a $50,000 cash reward toward solving the 1999 disappearance of an 11-year-old southeast Kansas boy whose adoptive parents never reported him missing.

Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet announced the reward Friday, identifying the donor only as someone who â&#x20AC;&#x153;would like to see some closure for the familyâ&#x20AC;? of Adam Joseph Herrman, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance from the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Towanda mobile home only came to light in late 2008, when his older, adoptive sister shared concerns about him with law enforcement. His whereabouts remain unknown, and Herzet said the last tip came in months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had any contact with anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Adam Joseph Herrman, I want to come talk to you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Herzet said at a news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open case here in Butler County, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to get to where we need to be to on getting some closure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finding him, his whereabouts, his remains, whatever it may be.â&#x20AC;?

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping with a reward, this might make somebody call.â&#x20AC;?

Authorities have treated the case as a homicide investigation as well as a search for a missing person.

No one has been charged in Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance.

His adoptive parents, Doug and Valerie Herrman, were charged with collecting $52,800 in state adoption subsidies between the time he vanished and July 2005.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rochelle Chronister, spokeswoman for Traditional Republicans for Common Sense at helping low-income Kansans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very concerned about the trickle-down economics theory of the governor,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Brownback has said his tax changes will stimulate the economy, but critics say the changes benefit wealthy Kansans while bankrupting schools and social services.

Chronister said the tax cuts will also make it impossible to provide the necessary funds to schools, especially if the Kansas Supreme Court orders an increase in a pending case.

And the group opposes efforts by Brownback to hand-pick appellate court judges without input from a nominating commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would you trade a merit system for a politi-

cal system? But of course if you are making a power grab that is something that you would do,â&#x20AC;? she said.

And one policy that has personally irked Chronister is the recent proposal

by Brownback to take $12 million from a program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and use that for a program to boost grade-school reading scores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have that much money leftover in TANF to finance a reading program, you are not doing your job. That money should be used to help people earn a living,â&#x20AC;? said Chronister, who used to be in charge of the agency that administers TANF. The Brownback administration says that improving reading scores will help reduce poverty.

Chronister said the group probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t endorse a candidate for governor in 2014 but that individual members will and some of those will support the Democratic candidate, who will likely be House Minority Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence.

Board CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

ing forward through high school, and then thinking on to college and things like that,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick Kelly, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of career and technical education.

And while that may be helpful for many students, some question whether all schools in Kansas should require IPSs for all students.

Under a provision of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Career and Technical Education Initiative, the Kansas State Board of Education is supposed to report to the Legislature next month about whether it intends to make that a requirement.

And while the state board has been leaning in that direction since 2010, when it identified a goal of having all students develop an IPS, board members last week balked at making a commitment, saying they would still like to have more inforâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild mation. can be reached at 785-423-0668.

they graduate college until they retire.

But Lori Stussie, a guidance counselor at Lawrence High School, said IPSs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intended to limit the kind of education students get. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state of Kansas requires a pretty broadbased education for the core curriculum subjects,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that the elective classes geared toward a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particular interests are taken on top of that core curriculum.

Meanwhile, Kelly said he believes the mere process of setting goals and planning oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education is good for students, no matter how those plans turn out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think the process of planning is a good skill, and planning for your future is part of that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just in general, that exercise of planning, not only the outcome of it but the exercise of planning and making decisions and prioritizing, is really valuable.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mandate,â&#x20AC;? said board chairwoman Jana Shaver, R-Independence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have good information about the percent of schools that are doing this now. We need more information before moving forward. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important decision and an important issue.â&#x20AC;?

Jay Scott, the state departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant director for career and technical education, said IPSs are part of a new accreditation model the agency is developing for public schools. The state board could be asked to vote on that new model for accrediting schools within the next two years, officials said.

But some recent studies have suggested that designing an education plan around a single career goal may not be the best idea for children of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;millennial generation,â&#x20AC;? those born between 19771997. Labor data suggests the average worker today stays at a job for just 4.4 years.

That could mean they have as many as 11 different jobs from the time

Space suit issue prompts delay of second spacewalk to repair pump

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Astronauts removed an old space station pump Saturday, sailing through the first of a series of urgent repair spacewalks to revive a crippled cooling line.

The two Americans on the crew, Rick Mastracchio and Michael Hopkins, successfully pulled out the ammonia pump with a bad valve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well ahead of schedule. That task had been planned for the next spacewalk, originally scheduled for Monday but now delayed until Tuesday, Christmas Eve, because of the need for a suit swap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An early Christmas,â&#x20AC;? observed Mission Control as Mastracchio tugged the refrigerator-size pump away from its nesting spot.

If Mastracchio and Hopkins keep up the quick

work, two spacewalks may be enough to complete the installation of a spare pump and a third spacewalk will not be needed as originally anticipated.

Several hours after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spacewalk ended, Mission Control bumped spacewalk 2 to Tuesday to give Mastracchio enough time to prepare a spare suit. His original suit was compromised when he inadvertently turned on a water switch in the air lock at the end of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excursion. NASA officials said Saturday night that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether a third spacewalk will be needed and when it might occur, if required. A third spacewalk had been slated for Christmas Day before the latest turn of events.

NASA requires a day off between spacewalks for astronaut rest.

lesterol and blood sugar levels and screen them for health risks. Farmers with signs of serious problems are referred to a doctor or clinic.

Agriculture and health care advocacy groups had hoped the new federal health care law would improve farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation by allowing them to buy affordable policies that cover preventive care and have lower deductibles.

No savings are to be had, say farmers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been shopping for insurance and believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with plans similar to their current ones.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Rural Health Initiative remains

valuable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say most farmers, in general, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lost limb or something crushed, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably not going to go to the doctor. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a virus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to wear off,â&#x20AC;? said Jay Vomastic, another dairy farmer who lives

minutes from Ainsworth in central Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shawano County.

The initiative started in 2004 after health care workers and residents realized many farmers received no medical care until they turned up in emergency rooms.

Mission Control wanted to keep the spacewalkers out even longer Saturday to get even further ahead, but a cold and uncomfortable Mastracchio requested to go back.

In rural Wisconsin, nurses come to the farm SHAWANO, WIS. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wisconsin dairy farmer Kevin Ainsworth rushed to the emergency room in 1992, when he sliced off the tip of his finger.

Other than a quick trip in 2010 when a test during a blood donation raised a false alarm about hepatitis C, that was his last visit to a doctor.

Ainsworth is a typical dairy farmer, more likely than most Americans to go without health insurance or buy his own policy. For years, he has received basic care from a unique community program that sends a nurse to farms to check farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blood pressure, cho-

Each cross-country trek is uniquely personal

By Allen G. Breed AP National Writer

For a week following Jadinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Joe Bell lay in bed, beating himself up, wondering what he could â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have done differently to help his son.

In the face of relentless bullying at high school, the openly gay 15-yearold had confessed to his parents six months earlier that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been having suicidal thoughts. Bell and his wife got their son into counseling, and Jadin appeared to be doing well.

Then he hanged himself.

Racked with guilt, Bell chided himself over scolding Jadin for smoking a few days before the hanging. The Oregon man worried that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive this grief.

Bell knew he had to do something. Then it came to him: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk across the country, sharing Jadinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story.

At any given time, as many as 20 people are attempting to cross the United States on foot, Nate Damm figures. The website he started following his own transcontinental trek has become a must-read for walkers, full of advice, tracking information and a run-

own walk, Damm still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put into words just why he did it. His Delaware-to-California hike over eight months in 2011 grew from â&#x20AC;&#x153;an idea that I had that just kind of wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave me alone,â&#x20AC;? says the 25-year-old Maine native, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently tracking about a half walkers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Charlie Riedel/AP Photo dozen STEVEN WESCOTT WALKS with his goat, LeeRoy Brown, along I thought about it for a street in Lenexa, Kan., in this Nov. 6, photo, The two have a couple of years and I would go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll been walking since May 2, 2012 from Seattle to New York pass.

BRIEFLY NSA documents declassified WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The director of national intelligence on Saturday declassified more documents that outline how the National Security Agency was first authorized to start collecting bulk phone and Internet records in the hunt for al-Qaida terrorists and how a court eventually gained oversight of the program.

The declassification came after the Justice Department complied with a federal court order to release its previous legal arguments for keeping the programs secret.

Lockerbie bombing victims honored ARLINGTON, VA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Families of some of the 270 people who died in an airliner bombing 25 years ago gathered for memorial services Saturday in the United States and Britain, honoring victims of a terror attack that killed dozens of American college students and created instant havoc in the Scottish town where wreckage of the plane

rained down.

Bagpipes played and wreaths were laid in the Scottish town of Lockerbie and mourners gathered for a moment of silence at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westminster Abbey, while U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relatives at Arlington National Cemetery that they should take comfort in their unity even if time cannot erase their loss.

The events marked the 25th anniversary of the explosion of Pan Am 103, a New York-bound flight that exploded over Lockerbie on Dec. 21, 1988.

4 arrests made in carjacking case NEWARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four men have been arrested on charges of murder, conspiracy and other counts in the carjacking death of a man shot in front of his wife outside an upscale mall in northern New Jersey last weekend, authorities said Saturday.

The suspects were identified at a news conference as 29-year-old Hanif Thompson, of Irvington, and 31-year-old Karif Ford,

32-year-old Basim Henry and 33-year-old Kevin Roberts, all of Newark.

They are accused in the Dec. 15 carjacking and killing of Dustin Friedland outside The Mall at Short Hills. The 30-year-old lawyer from Hoboken was shot in the head in the mall parking garage after being confronted by two carjackers, authorities said. The assailants drove off in his silver Range Rover, which was found the next morning.

San Francisco avoids transit skrike SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The threat of another commutecrippling transportation strike in the San Francisco Bay area receded on Saturday when officials for the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit rail system and negotiators for its two largest labor unions said they had resolved the latest sticking point in their months-long negotiations and reached a new contract.

Bay Area Rapid Transit district and union leaders said the four-year deal reached early Saturday settles a dispute over paid medical leave.

3 U.S. military aircraft hit in South Sudan

By Jason Straziuso Associated Press

NAIROBI, KENYA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gunfire hit three U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens in a remote region of South Sudan that on Saturday became a battle ground between the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military and renegade troops, officials said. Four U.S. service members were wounded in the attack in the same region where gunfire downed a U.N. helicopter the day before.

The U.S. military aircraft were about to land in Bor, the capital of the state of Jonglei and scene of some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst violence over the last week, when they were hit.

The military said the four wounded troops were in stable condition.

The U.S. military said three CV-22 Ospreys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the kind of aircraft that can fly like a helicopter and plane â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were â&#x20AC;&#x153;participating in a mission to evacuate American citi-

US Air Force, Master Sgt. Jeremy T. Lock/AP Photo

IN THIS PHOTO TAKEN Jan. 26, 2011 and released by the U.S. Air Force, a CV-22 Osprey aircraft of the 8th Special Operations Squadron (SOS) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Birdsâ&#x20AC;? comes in for a landing during a local training mission at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Gunfire hit three U.S. military CV-22 Osprey aircraft Saturday. zens in Bor.â&#x20AC;? A South Sudan official said violence against civilians there has resulted in bodies â&#x20AC;&#x153;sprinkled all over town.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;After receiving fire from the ground while approaching the site, the aircraft diverted to an airfield outside the country and aborted the mission,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The injured troops are being

treated for their wounds.â&#x20AC;?

It was not known how many U.S. civilians are in Bor. After the aircraft took incoming fire, they turned around and flew to Entebbe, Uganda.

From there the service members were flown to Nairobi, Kenya aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 for medical treatment, the

statement said.

An official in the region who insisted on anonymity to share information not made public said the Americans did not tell the top commander in Bor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gen. Peter Gadet, who defected from the South Sudan military this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that they were coming in, which may have led to the attack. The U.S. statements said the gunfire was from unknown forces.

South Sudanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military spokesman, Col. Philip Aguer, said that government troops are not in control of Bor, so the attack on the U.S. aircraft has to be blamed on renegade soldiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bor is under the control of the forces of Riek Machar,â&#x20AC;? Aguer said, referring to the ousted vice president.

The U.S. Embassy in Juba said it has evacuated at least 450 Americans and other foreign nationals from Juba this week and had hoped to begin evacuations from Bor.

BRIEFLY Syrian rebels seize strategic hospital BEIRUT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Syrian rebels seized control of a strategic hospital near Aleppo, giving a boost to beleaguered anti-government forces in the northern city after days of relentless airstrikes on opposition-held neighborhoods there, activists said Saturday.

The rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; capture of Kindi hospital does not drastically alter the broader battle for Aleppo, which has been divided for more than a year between opposition and government forces.

But it does provide a lift to a rebel movement that has been dogged in recent months by infighting that allowed President Bashar Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces to chip away at rebel-held territory on several fronts.

More charges on Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morsi CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egyptian prosecutors on Saturday referred the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toppled president to a third criminal trial on charges of organizing prison breaks during the 2011 uprising, spreading chaos and abducting police officers in collaboration with foreign militants.

The new charges against Mohammed Morsi and 129 others pile on the legal onslaught facing the ousted Islamist president and his group, the Muslim Brotherhood, by leveling sweeping accusations, most of which carry the death penalty.

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military-backed interim government has sought to portray the Brotherhood as largely responsible for the violence and militant attacks that engulfed the country following the 2011 ouster of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Turkish corruption blamed on diplomats ANKARA, TURKEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to expel foreign ambassadors on Saturday, blaming them for a vast corruption and bribery investigation mounting against people close to his government. Riot police, meanwhile, stood guard as hundreds protested against Erdoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government.

Erdoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accusations come after two government ministersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sons were arrested, along with several others including Suleyman Aslan, the CEO of stateowned Halkbank.

In total, 24 people were jailed pending trial, accused of taking or facilitating bribes, the Dogan news agency reported. Turkish media reports say the investigation relates to illicit money transfers to Iran and large-scale bribery for construction projects.

Curbing speech A hastily passed policy on the use of social media by state university faculty and staff raises questions about the importance of free speech and academic freedom.

D

o you suppose the advent of radio also sent state university officials into a panic?

After all, that new form of communication made it possible for a comment that “adversely affects” the university to be broadcast instantly over hundreds of miles. It wasn’t like a faculty member was standing on the corner holding a sign.

That raises an interesting question concerning the social media policy approved last week by the Kansas Board of Regents. The new policy says that the chief executive officer of a state university can “suspend, dismiss or terminate” a faculty or staff member who posts an ill-advised message on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or other social media. What if they put the same message on a sign or a poster?

The regents acknowledged that their concern about social media was related to September’s flap over a Twitter post by Kansas University professor David Guth, but they said they didn’t feel pressured by state legislators, even though comments from legislators at the time included at least one threat to defund KU. The fact that the policy was hastily approved — without discussion with university faculty or staff representatives — just a couple of weeks before the opening of the legislative session nonetheless suggests that the regents saw some urgency to get a statement on the books.

For whatever reason, the regents decided now was the time to write social media into its policies. They put it under “suspensions, terminations and dismissals” — right after the policy that allows a university CEO to dismiss any employee, including a tenured faculty member who has been charged with or convicted of a felony.

Really? Just below a felony?

The response from university faculty members was quick and understandable.

Although the Regents chairman describe this as “a very narrowly drawn policy,” the policy gives university CEOs broad authority to dole out discipline for “improper use of social media,” which also is broadly defined to include anything that “adversely affects the university’s ability to efficiently provide services.”

There is no specific mention of academic freedom or protections for tenured faculty, although individual universities must establish a grievance procedure to allow faculty and staff to appeal a CEO’s decision. As a KU professor, who also is state conference president for the American Association of University Professors, noted, the new policy is “fraught with potential for abuse.”

Whatever threat is posed by social media at state universities should be balanced against the threat of those universities becoming known as places that don’t tolerate the free flow of ideas among their faculty and staff. The possibility that the policy could affect universities’ ability to recruit and retain top faculty members seems like a reasonable concern.

There is no place where free speech and the freedom to discuss both popular and unpopular ideas is more important than on a university campus. Regents are concerned about social media, but there is nothing they could do that would be worse for the reputation of state universities than to enforce a policy that infringes on the free flow of ideas at those schools.

Fusion project promises energy boom PRINCETON, N.J. — In a scientific complex on 88 bucolic acres near here, some astonishingly talented people are advancing a decades-long project to create a sun on Earth. When — not if; when — decades hence they and collaborators around the world succeed, their achievement will be more transformative of human life than any prior scientific achievement.

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s (PPPL) focus — magnetic fusion research — began at the university in 1951.

It was grounded in the earlier work of a European scientist then living in Princeton. Einstein’s theory that mass could be converted into energy had been demonstrated six years earlier near Alamogordo, N.M., by fission — the splitting of atoms, which released the energy that held the atoms together. By the 1950s, however, attention was turning to an unimaginably more promising method of releasing energy from transforming matter — the way the sun does, by fusion.

Every second the sun produces a million times more energy than the world consumes in a year. But to “take a sun and put it in a box” — the description of one scientist here — requires developing the new field of plasma physics and solving the most difficult engineering problems in the history of science. The objective is to create conditions for

George Will georgewill@washpost.com

“

Because of its large scale and long time horizon, the fusion project is a perfect example of a public good the private sector cannot pursue and the public sector should not slight.” the controlled release of huge amounts of energy from the fusion of two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe; Earth’s water contains a virtually inexhaustible supply (10 million million tons) of deuterium, and tritium is “bred” in the fusion plant itself.

The sun is a huge sphere of plasma, which is a hot, electrically charged gas. The production and confinement of plasma in laboratories is now routine. The task now is to solve the problem of “net energy” — producing more electrical power than is required for the production of it.

Magnets produce a magnetic field sufficient to prevent particles heated beyond the sun’s temperature — more than 100 million degrees Celsius — from hitting the walls of the containment vessel. Understanding plasma’s behavior requires the assistance of Titan, one of the world’s fastest computers, which is located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and can perform more than 17 quadrillion — a million billion — calculations a second.

As in today’s coal-fired power plants, the ultimate object is heat — to turn water into steam that drives generators. Fusion, however, produces no greenhouse gases, no long-lived nuclear waste and no risk of the sort of runaway reaction that occurred at Fukushima. Fusion research here and elsewhere is supported by nations with half the world’s population — China, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the European Union. By one estimate, to bring about a working fusion reactor in 20 years would cost $30 billion — approximately the cost of one week of U.S. energy consumption.

Given the societal will, commercially feasible production of fusion energy is possible in the lifetimes of most people now living. The cost of operating the PPPL complex, which a century from now might be designated a historic site, is 0.01 percent of U.S. energy spending. PPPL’s

budget is a minuscule fraction of U.S. energy infrastructure investment (power plants, pipelines). Yet the laboratory, which once had a staff of 1,400, today has only 450.

The Apollo space program was much less technologically demanding and much more accessible to public understanding. It occurred in the context of U.S.-Soviet competition; it was directly relevant to national security (ballistic missiles; the coin of international prestige); it had a time frame for success — President Kennedy’s pledge to go to the moon in the 1960s — that could hold the public’s attention, and incremental progress (orbital flights) the public could comprehend.

Because the fusion energy program lacks such immediacy, transparency and glamour, it poses a much more difficult test for the political process.

Because of its large scale and long time horizon, the fusion project is a perfect example of a public good the private sector cannot pursue and the public sector should not slight. Most government revenues now feed the public’s unslakable appetite for transfer payments. The challenge for today’s political class is to moderate its subservience to this appetite sufficiently to enable the basic science that will earn tomorrow’s gratitude.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 22, 1913: YEARS “The social serAGO vice league is IN 1913 coming on splendid with its Christmas good cheer. The response has far exceeded expectations.

However, there are a few families yet who have not been provided for and the league would like to have families in Lawrence take these poorer families and provide them Christmas ‘good cheer.’ The time is short and the people will need to come forward quickly.”

Latin America’s educational divide What’s most worrisome about Latin America’s disastrous performance in the recently released international PISA student tests are not the results themselves but that many countries in the region are not even recognizing that they have a serious problem.

Since the results of the test came out earlier this month, there has been a lot of media attention to the fact that Latin American countries that participated in the test — Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Peru — ranked at the bottom of the list of 65 participating countries.

But little or nothing has been written about the countries that pulled out from the test at the last minute, like Panama, or those that chose not to participate at all — perhaps fearing that they would fare even worse than those that did — such as Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Dominican Republic.

The PISA test is taken every three years by 15-year-old students and measures their abilities in math, science and reading comprehension. It is by far the most respected international student test, education experts say.

This year, as in previous years, China and other Asian students got the best scores in all three categories.

In math, China’s city of Shanghai ranked No. 1, followed by Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, South Korea,

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

While Latin American countries that participated in the PISA test are being harshly criticized in the media for their poor results, they should be commended for taking part in the exam.”

Macao and Japan.

Further down the list are Switzerland (9), Finland (12), Germany (16), France (25), Spain (33), Russia (34), United States (36), Sweden (38), Chile (51), Mexico (53), Uruguay (55), Costa Rica (56), Brazil (58), Argentina (59), Colombia (62), and Peru (65). In reading comprehension and science, the results were similar.

In most European countries and the United States, the governments took responsibility for their relatively bad results, and interpreted them as a call to action to improve education standards. To their credit, some Latin American governments such as Mexico,

Brazil, Colombia and Peru did the same.

But other Latin American governments tried to downplay the importance of the PISA results or sought to discredit the test itself.

Argentina’s education minister Alberto Sileoni, who in previous years had blamed the PISA tests’ methodology for his country’s plummeting test scores, this time admitted that the results were bad news that need to be addressed.

But instead of using the PISA results to press for a nationwide campaign to reverse Argentina’s deteriorating education standards, he couched his remarks by stating that all Latin American countries did bad, and went out of his way to praise President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s education policies.

By far the most stupid reaction came from Bolivia, whose education Minister Roberto Aguilar was quoted by Bolivian media as saying that his country abstained from participating in the international test because it is a “neo-liberal (pro-free market) imposition.”

An earlier article published in Bolivia’s education ministry’s Web page quotes Aguilar as stating that “the government of Bolivia will not allow the PISA test” to influence the country’s education system, and that Bolivia “will build its own evaluation systems and model.”

Cuba, which claims to have high education standards, did not say why it didn’t participate in the test. Neither did

Venezuela. Critics say it’s because both countries fear results that could disprove their official propaganda claims.

In addition to the test scores, the PISA tests also included a survey that asked students whether they are happy with their schools. Interestingly, Peruvian students — who ranked last in the test results — ranked third in the world in happiness with their schools, followed not too far behind by Colombians (5), Mexicans (7), Costa Ricans (8) and Uruguayans (13).

My opinion: While Latin American countries that participated in the PISA test are being harshly criticized in the media for their poor results, they should be commended for taking part in the exam.

If you have a serious problem, the best thing you can do is identifying it, quantifying it and acting on it. The region’s educational divide is not between the countries that performed best and worse, but between those that participated and those that didn’t.

Fortunately, some nonparticipating countries, including Ecuador, Guatemala and Panama, are said to be considering taking the test in 2015.

But those that are not, such as Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela and most Central American countries, are hiding behind ideological slogans or phony excuses to hide their educational debacle. They deserve the biggest criticism.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD TARIK BLACK (25) GETS UP TO FINISH A LOB DUNK against Georgetown during the first half. Black tied for team-high honors with 17 points in the Jayhawks’ 86-64 victory over the Hoyas on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Slumping Black sparks Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s senior power forward Tarik Black didn’t sulk, didn’t brood, didn’t mope after losing his starting spot to freshman Joel Embiid three games ago.

“His attitude even got better,” KU coach Bill Self said after Memphis transfer Black exploded for 17 points with six rebounds and two blocks while playing 20 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 86-64 rout of Georgetown on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“It’s a great lesson for young kids to learn. He tries so hard. You knew eventually he was going to kick it.

He was great today.”

Black, who hit five of five floor shots and seven of nine free throws, had not scored in KU’s last four games while playing a combined 22 minutes. He was 0-for-3 from the field in that span and had seven rebounds total.

“I knew coming here that it wasn’t going to be perfect.

I’m new here. I played in college for a while (three years at Memphis), but I had to learn the system,” said the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Black, who also did a good job defending 6-10, 350-pound Joshua Smith. Smith finished with five points and no rebounds plus five fouls in 19 KANSAS CENTER JOEL EMBIID (21) MUSCLES IN FOR A BUCKET and a foul minutes. from Georgetown forward Nate Lubick Please see KANSAS, page 8B during the second half.

Embiid ‘special player’ already Right about the time the nasty weather hit Lawrence, Georgetown coach John Thompson III uttered words that should make us all shift our focus from the future to the present when discussing basketball prodigy Joel Embiid, Kansas University’s 7-foot center from Cameroon.

Thompson said Embiid, “has a chance to be a special player.” Then the coach realized that in a way he had made an understatement and added, “He might be at that point already.”

Embiid’s positive imprint was all over another impressive KU victory Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, 86-64, against Georgetown.

2B | LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2013

By Joe Strauss St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Barry Hinson is a funny guy.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intense guy. And by his own admission, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything but a politically correct guy.

Mix the three together, and Hinson awoke Wednesday morning a scrutinized guy.

Hinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southern Illinois basketball team has thus far been, to be kind, a challenge.

Hinson said so following the Salukisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bad loss to Murray State. He said a lot of things in a rant that quickly became prime-time material for ESPN as well as a YouTube sensation.

You may have heard that Hinson singled out for criticism sophomore point guard Marcus Fillyaw. He called his 2-8 team â&#x20AC;&#x153;mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boysâ&#x20AC;? and described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncoachable.â&#x20AC;?

Hinson lampooned a couple of players for falling down near midcourt, theorizing Seal Team 6 took them out.

As a lounge act it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad.

Hinson was on a roll: Take my team, please.

Hinson kept his rant PG. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use profanity, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to incinerate those reporters who asked questions. But he may have damaged his rebuilding program by making a national spectacle of himself. The coach led with his heart and his mouth. He awoke at 6 a.m.

Wednesday to a text from Southern Illinois athletic director Mario Moccia. The text read in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has gone viral.â&#x20AC;?

Said Hinson Thursday morning: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what he meant. I though he had a virus and had gone to the hospital.â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a million of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em, folks.

Hinson conducted two days of damage control. Approached by two St. Louis media types, he taped a Thursday morning radio interview with colleague Bryan Burwell and myself.

Hinson wanted to make clear his message and to a lesser degree his remorse, especially in a region he heavily recruits.

In rapid succession he pleaded guilty while making no apologies for his political incorrectness. He reiterated remorse for citing Fillyaw by name, insisting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I should be chastised for it.â&#x20AC;? But later during the same interview he cited the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wussyficationâ&#x20AC;? of America for what he considered the disproportionate blowback concerning his post-game news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a thermometer, not a thermostat. I am what I am. I wear my feelings on my shoulder. ... I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything in the press room that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say in the locker room. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old school. You ask me a question, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give you an honest answer,â&#x20AC;? noted the son of Marlow, Oklahoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from the South. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we do. We deal with frustration with humor.â&#x20AC;?

A lot of folks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the jokes. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear Hinson accept blame for his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miserable start. They only heard what sounded like a 52-year-old man throwing his team under bus tires.

Hinson again apologized for targeting Fillyaw. If some thought his team wore tire marks, so be it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew what I was doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got on a roll, I knew the potential of what could happen. I just said what was in my heart.â&#x20AC;?

Hinson remains mostly a regional flavor. Quick-topounce critics on both coasts who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find Carbondale with a road atlas immediately gave their Pavlovian response.

Hinson was judged another out-of-control, bully coach unwilling to take responsibility for his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sub-par play.

Some recommended censure.

Yet Carbondaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative isolation probably allows Hinson to quietly escape before the next news cycle.

COMING MONDAY

Rangers, outfielder Choo agree on 7-year deal ARLINGTON, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Rangers have made another Texas-sized deal to improve their offense.

Free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo agreed to a $130 million, seven-year contract with the Rangers, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press on Saturday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement about the deal that is pending a physical for Choo. That person said the physical is expected to be done before Christmas and that any formal introduction in Texas likely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until after the holiday Wednesday.

The deal came a month after the Rangers acquired five-time All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder in a trade with Detroit for second baseman Ian Kinsler, their primary leadoff hitter.

Texas now gets the best offensive player left in free agency, with both additions to be under contract through the 2020 season.

Chooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, worth about $18.6 million per season, is the third-highest this offseason. Second baseman Robinson Cano received $240 million over 10 years from Seattle, and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, like Choo, a client of agent Scott Boras, signed a $153 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees.

Choo could be at the top or in the middle of the Texas lineup. He was Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadoff hitter for 143 games last season, when he had a .423 on-base percentage with 20 stolen bases and 21 home runs.

The Rangers missed the playoffs for the first time in four years, with 730 runs scored their fewest in a non-strike season since 1992. Texas, which went to its only two World Series in 2010 and 2011 and lost in the ALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first wild-card game in 2012, lost at home to Tampa Bay in a wild-card tiebreaker.

Chooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal calls for salaries of $14 million in 2014 and 2015, $21 million in 2016 and 2017, and $20 million in each of the last three years of the deal.

Diamondbacks sign Ziegler PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Arizona Diamondbacks have avoided arbitration with Brad Ziegler by agreeing to a two-year, $10.5 million contract with the right-handed reliever.

Ziegler revealed the agreement via Twitter, saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;really excited to stay in Arizona for a couple more years, at least.â&#x20AC;?

Under the contract, the side-arm pitcher gets $4.5 million for 2014 and $5 million for 2015 with a $5.5 million option for 2016 that includes a $1 million buyout.

The 34-year-old pitcher has spent the last two seasons with the Diamondbacks, going 14-2 with a 2.36 ERA. Last season, Ziegler inherited the closerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role due to injuries and struggles by others. He had a career-high 13 saves in 15 opportunities. Last season, he was 8-1 with a 2.22 ERA.

Arizona promotes Grace PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Arizona Diamondbacks have promoted Mark Grace to hitting coach of Class A Hillsboro, 16 months after the former All-Star left his broadcasting job following a second DUI arrest.

Grace was a minor-league hitting instructor last season. He also served a four-month DUI sentence under a work-release program last spring. His new role was announced by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Duke suspends leading rusher DURHAM, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Duke has suspended rushing leader Jela Duncan from school for an undisclosed violation of its academic policy.

School officials said in a statement Saturday that the sophomore is not eligible to return until the Spring 2015 semester.

He will not play for the 22nd-ranked Blue Devils in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against No. 20 Texas A&M. Duncan rushed for 562 yards and three touchdowns this season and caught 13 passes for 123 yards and a score.

The Blue Devils (10-3) have gone four-deep at running back this season and will rely on junior Josh Snead, sophomore Shaq Powell and senior Juwan Thompson to make up for Duncan.

SEC fines four schools BIRMINGHAM, ALA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Southeastern Conference fined four schools a combined $60,000 for violating league policies during the football season.

Mississippi State and Mississippi were the hardest hit, with each school receiving a $25,000 fine.

Mississippi State was fined for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artificial-noisemaker policy a second time. The last violation was in 2010. Mississippi State fans have a tradition of bringing cowbells to games, which the league approved, as long as they are only used at approved times.

Ole Miss was fined for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field-access policy a second time. Fans rushed the field following the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27-24 victory over LSU. The school also violated the policy in 2012.

Auburn and Missouri also were fined $5,000 for a first violation of the field-access policy.

TRACK AND FIELD

Gender bias alleged at Iowa IOWA CITY, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A discrimination complaint alleges that qualified male candidates were repeatedly passed over for an assistant job in the University of Iowa track program after athletic-department administrators mandated that a woman be hired.

The complaint filed by former Iowa assistant Mike Scott says that track-and-field director Larry Wieczorek joked during the hiring process that Scott should consider having a sexchange operation to improve his prospects.

Scott alleges that, in their quest to hire a woman, administrators rejected a committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation to offer the job to a highly qualified male candidate and twice rewrote the position description to try to attract more females. After three postings spanning more than one year, the university hired Molly Jones in September.

Book on KU women: not tough enough

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Ten games into the 2013-14 season, Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson knows one thing about her team.

“We’re clearly not tough enough,” said Henrickson, whose Jayhawks (5-5) will play host to Tulsa (4-3) at 2 this afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. “And there’s more to toughness than just the physical element.”

To hammer home that point, Henrickson will be handing out homework during the team’s time

away from the classroom.

Every winter break, Henrickson’s squad conducts a “team read,” where they choose a book that pertains to basketball, life or a combination of both and then read it together, going over the key points chapter by chapter. This year’s book is “Toughness” by ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas, and Henrickson said the home stretch of the nonconference schedule is the perfect time for her team to read a book like that, as the Jayhawks fine-tune things in preparation for conference play.

“We’re learning that we need to be more tough than ever down the stretch,” said freshUP NEXT man Keyla Morgan, referenc- Who: Tulsa ing KU’s women (4-3) bad luck vs. Kansas at the end (5-5) of four When: 2 p.m. of its five today l o s s e s . Where: Allen “ C o a c h Fieldhouse Bonnie TV: Metro just says Sports we need (WOW! chs. to be to37, 226) gether during the tough times, and we have

to have something to fall back on, and that’s our toughness.”

Added Henrickson: “When they start to say what you say, you’re at least making some progress.”

Asked which player on this Kansas roster demonstrated the most toughness, Henrickson and Morgan pointed to senior guard CeCe Harper, who enters today’s game averaging 10 points and four rebounds per game and also in possession of the most assists (39) on the roster.

“CeCe, without question,” said Henrickson,

answering the question.

“And I think she’s grown to that point. From the Minnesota game on, she’s kind of willed us to either stay in games or win games.”

Tulsa represents a good growth opportunity for the Jayhawks because the Golden Hurricane are a lot like them, Henrickson said.

“They’re a young team, and they have some returners who are in different roles, kind of like us,” Henrickson said. “Like us, they’ve been really good at times and then have been inconsistent at times.

If (Tulsa coach) Matilda

(Mossman) and I had a chance to have a lengthy conversation, we would probably sound like each other.”

With Big 12 play looming after the break and the Jayhawks still trying to find an identity, toughness will be one of the major points of emphasis during games and in practice, as well. The hope is that a better performance there will lead to better results on the scoreboard.

“This is a big game for us because it’s on our home court,” Morgan said.

“And we’re pretty much done with losing at home.”

Turnaround teams Chiefs, Colts to meet KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — One year ago, the Indianapolis Colts, led by a new coach, built by a new general manager and guided by a new quarterback, rolled into Kansas City in the midst of a dramatic turnaround.

They’d won just two games the previous season, but were headed toward a winning record and a playoff berth. It was the kind of rapid renaissance that rarely happens in sports, even in the NFL, where things such as the draft and salary cap are supposed to make parity possible.

Then again, maybe the turnaround wasn’t so unique.

After bringing in a new coach in Andy Reid, a new GM in John Dorsey and a new quarterback in Alex Smith, the Chiefs have done the same thing.

They also won two games a year ago, and they also have wrapped up a winning record and a spot in the playoffs this season.

“Obviously, a great franchise and has been for a long, long time in the Chiefs, just like our organization,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “They have great leadership from the top down, good football players, a great coach in coach Reid. He’s done it for a long, long time and has been very successful and, like I said, they have great players and he has them believing.”

When the teams meet today, though, it won’t just be the collision of two feel-good stories. The Chiefs (11-3) are tied atop the AFC West with Denver, though the Broncos hold the tiebreaker for the division title. And the Colts (9-5) have already wrapped up the AFC South, but could improve their seeding for the playoffs with a pair of wins down the stretch.

Then there’s the possibility — likelihood, even — that the Chiefs will finish second in their division and have to visit Indianapolis two weeks from now in the playoffs.

So both teams have plenty riding on the outcome at Arrowhead Stadium, where the forecast for today calls for freezing temperatures and a possibility of snow.

“At the beginning of the season, that’s what you go for, to win the division or get to the postseason,” Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “We’ve qualified, and that’s great, but we’re still

If they’re not peaking, both teams are at least on an upward trajectory.

The Colts have won two of their last three, including a 25-3 rout of the lowly Texans last week, while the Chiefs have scored 101 points in blowout wins over Washington and Oakland.

Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles had five TDs last week, four through the air and one on the ground.

He has a league-leading 18 touchdowns, along with more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage.

“I’m happy to get this opportunity in this system,” said Charles, an MVP candidate. “I’m blessed that they trust me to handle as much as they put on me.”

The Colts are 43-3 since 2000 when they don’t commit a turnover, but they’re going against the NFL’s best team at forcing them. Kansas City has 35 takeaways for a league-high plus-21 differential. The Chiefs forced seven turnovers last week against Oakland.

NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE PLAYERS CELEBRATE A 43-28 VICTORY OVER LENOIR-RHYNE in the NCAA Div. II championship game on Saturday in Florence, Ala.

Bearcats cruise to Div. II title FLORENCE, ALA. (AP) — Trevor Adams was a freshman spectator during Northwest Missouri State’s last national title run.

He finished his career by leading the Bearcats to another one.

Adams passed for 277 yards and three touchdowns and Northwest Missouri raced to a fast start in a 43-28 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday in the Division II championship game.

The Bearcats (15-0) won their fourth national title to match Grand Valley State for second-most behind North Dakota State’s five. They’re the fifth team to go 15-0, managing that feat for a second time.

“Being able to finally make it back is really, really neat,” said Adams, who was in a redshirt year when Northwest Missouri won in 2009. “It’s huge because the legacy that’s there, it’s been a strong one for many years. To be a championship team, a part of that, is just some-

Lenoir-Rhyne (13-2) fell short in only the one-time NAIA champion’s second appearance in the Division II playoffs.

Adams completed 15 of 25 of passes with touchdown throws of 29 and 30 yards to Reuben Thomas.

The pair hooked up for their first score on fourthand-7 on the opening drive and the Bearcats were up 17-0 after 10 minutes.

“I thought we needed to be aggressive in the first 20 plays,” Northwest Missouri coach Adam Dor-

rel said. “We tried to fire most of our bullets early in the first half.”

Lenoir-Rhyne’s spread flexbone offense couldn’t catch up, despite a quick spark from backup quarterback and playoff star Josh Justice when he came in midway through the third quarter.

“We made too many mistakes,” Bears coach Mike Houston said.

“We’re playing the best team we played all year, we couldn’t make the mistakes that we made in all three phases.”

It was a record eighth title game appearance for Northwest Missouri.

It capped a huge year for football in Maryville, Mo. “It’s pretty cool,” said Dorrel, an alumnus and Maryville native.

“Maryville’s 60-0 in football from junior high through the university. I don’t know if any other town in America can say that. That means a lot to me.”

The Bearcats, who had “Family” on the back of their jerseys instead of in-

dividual names, remained in control throughout after the fast start.

Lenoir-Rhyne had won 13 consecutive games since dropping the opener, despite losing quarterback Miles Freeman to a leg injury during the regular season and having backup Teverrius Jones go down with a neck injury in the second round of the playoffs.

Jones returned to start this game after Justice came up big in all three playoff wins, but never got the offense going.

Lenoir-Rhyne fumbled five times, losing two.

Jones sprained a knee in the third quarter, bringing a gimpy Justice into the game. The senior didn’t start after injuring his left ankle in practice on Wednesday and wearing a boot since.

“What guts,” Houston said. “To go out and execute the way he did in the second half with the pain goes back to the reason he’s been successful the last three weeks.”

ROUNDUP

Kansas State turns back No. 21 Gonzaga ————

Ohio State escapes against Irish; Illinois hands Missouri first loss Arizona St. 76, Texas Tech 62 TEMPE, ARIZ. — Jermaine Marshall scored 20 of his 27 points in the second half, Jahii Carson had 16 points and 13 assists, and Arizona State rolled past Texas Tech.

Coming off a six-day break, Arizona State (10-2) had trouble getting shots to fall early. The Sun Devils started to find the range late in the first half during a closing 11-0 run and kept the cushion in the second, improving to 7-0 at home this season.

Marshall hit seven of Arizona State’s 10 threepointers, and Carson added eight rebounds while finishing with the most assists by an ASU player in 16 years.

The Associated Press

Top 25 Kansas St. 72, No. 21 Gonzaga 62 WICHITA — Thomas Gipson scored eight of his 14 points in the game’s decisive minutes, and freshman Marcus Foster also had 14 points as Kansas State outlasted Gonzaga on Saturday at Intrust Bank Arena.

Wesley Iwundu scored 13 points for the Wildcats (8-3), while Shane Southwell had 11.

Kevin Pangos had 14 points for Gonzaga (10-2) while reserve Drew Barham added 13, and David Stockton and Przemek Karnowski both scored 10.

The Bulldogs entered the game averaging 87.5 points and had not scored fewer than 68 this season.

Gonzaga played the second half without second-leading scorer Sam Dower, who took a hard fall late in the first half and did not return.

Southwell scored five straight points to give Kansas State a 33-24 lead with 18:46 to play.

Then Foster, among the top 10 scorers in the Big 12, went on a personal 7-3 run with a three-pointer, layup and monster dunk over Stockton. The Wildcats led 40-32 and the crowd was buzzing.

But a three-pointer by Gary Bell Jr. capped a 7-0 Gonzaga run that pulled the Bulldogs within 40-39 with 14:48 to play.

The teams exchanged the lead for six minutes before K-State finally managed to pull away behind Gipson. Twice the 6-foot-7 Gipson posted up the tiring Karnowski, a 7-footer forced into extended minutes by Dower’s injury, for baskets.

The second one gave Kansas State a 60-54 lead with 3:39 remaining.

The Buckeyes (12-0), who had a woeful second half from the field, closed the game on a 14-3 run and Smith was the key to the closing spurt.

Jerian Grant hit a threepointer as the shot clock was expiring to give the Fighting Irish (8-4) a seemingly comfortable 5850 lead with 1:54 to play.

But the Buckeyes turned up the defensive intensity, and they converted consecutive steals into a 58-56 deficit with 40 seconds to go.

KANSAS STATE’S MARCUS FOSTER, RIGHT, CELEBRATES a three-point shot against Gonzaga. K-State defeated 21st-ranked Gonzaga, 72-62, on Saturday in Wichita.

No. 5 Michigan State 92, Texas 78 AUSTIN, TEXAS — Adreian Payne scored a career-high 32 points, and Michigan State dominated the final 11 minutes.

The Spartans (10-1) led for only 56 seconds in the first half as Texas (10-2) controlled the game early.

Michigan State used a 9-2 run to take a 52-50 lead about halfway through the second half. Following two quick buckets

by Jonathan Holmes, six Spartans scored during a 14-2 run that put the game away.

Payne made two free throws during that run and went 10-of-13 from the field and 11-of-12 from the freethrow line. Gary Harris, who missed three recent games with an ankle injury, scored 19 points while Travis Trice, battling a foot blister, contributed 13 points and was 3-of-4 from three-point range.

No. 6 Louisville 85, FIU 56 MIAMI — Russ Smith scored 18 points, Wayne Blackshear added 13, and Louisville won its sixth straight.

Smith had 12 in the first half for the Cardinals (111), who never trailed and were rarely threatened, outside of a couple brief early stretches where the game was tight.

Tymell Murphy scored 16 points, and former Louisville player Rakeen Buckles added 13 for FIU (8-5), which was coached last season by Richard Pitino, the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino.

Rick Pitino decided to honor the contract and play FIU, offering to do so in Miami even after his son left the Panthers to take over at Minnesota after last season.

No. 14 North Carolina 97, Davidson 85, OT CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Marcus Paige scored 11 of his 17 points in overtime to help North Carolina hold off Davidson.

Paige missed his first six shots and didn’t score until the 8:17 mark of the second half, but took over late to help the Tar Heels (8-3) bounce back from Wednesday’s loss to Texas and avoid another surprising home defeat.

J.P. Tokoto posted career-highs of 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead North Carolina, which needed two free throws from Paige with 29.3 seconds left to force the extra session. The Tar Heels dominated the extra period, with Paige scoring in the lane to open the overtime and hitting his only three-pointer of the game moments later to put UNC in control.

New Mexico Bowl Colorado State 48, Washington State 45 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With less than two minutes to play and Colorado State down by eight points, Shaquil Barrett knew the Rams needed the ball back quickly to finish an improbable comeback against Washington State.

At one point down by 22 points in the New Mexico Bowl, the Rams got their chance when Cougars running back Jeremiah Laufasa came barreling toward Barrett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kind of thinking in my mind, yeah, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That was our shot to get back in the game right there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Barrett, who stripped the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was going to get the opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

That fumble, at the Cougars 33, set up Kapri Bibbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one-yard run score and Donnell Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-point conversion run that tied it at 45 with 33 seconds left.

Then, Washington Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teondray Caldwell fumbled a kickoff return at the 24, setting up Jared Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 41-yard field goal as time expired gave Colorado State a victory Saturday.

It was a quarterback shootout that saw close to 800 passing yards combined and a game largely dominated by Washington State until the last two minutes.

And Colorado State did not have a led the entire game until that winning field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That win right there... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty amazing how it worked but at the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being resilient,â&#x20AC;? Rams coach Jim McElwain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about understanding (that) every play has a history and life of its own.â&#x20AC;?

Garrett Grayson threw for 369 yards and Bibbs ran for 169 yards and three touchdowns for Colorado State (8-6). The Rams overcame three early turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still kind of at a loss for words about how that whole thing ended up,â&#x20AC;? Rams center Weston Richburg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It must have been destiny. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most unbelievable game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been a part of.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Washington Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connor Halliday threw touchdown passes to six receivers and finished with 410 yards for Washington State (67). Those six touchdown passes tied West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geno Smith and Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chuck Long for an NCAA bowl record.

After the first touchdown pass, Halliday got into a shouting match with a Colorado State coach

COLORADO STATEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KIVON CARTWRIGHT (86) AND TANNER HEDSTROM (53) CELEBRATE their 48-45 victory over Washington State as Cougars running back Theron West (24) and Joe Dahl leave the field after the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday in Albuquerque, N.M. when Halliday ran into the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sideline. That exchange created a social media buzz and McElwain vowed look into it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach grabbed me and said some profane things to me and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say about it,â&#x20AC;? Halliday said.

Washington State scored 35 points in the first half, but had only 10 in the second. With the game winding down, a lack of a running game forced the Cougars to stay with their spread offense and prevented them for running down the clock when ahead by 15 points in the fourth quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colorado State finished the game. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Washington State coach Mike Leach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They finished the game better than we did. The lesson to be learned from that is it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at. You need to go out and finish the game.â&#x20AC;?

Washington State rushed for minus-10 yards total.

The match-up brought together two second-year coaches working to turn around their teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fortunes with high-octane offenses.

Colorado State had not played in a postseason game since 2008. Washington State had not been in a bowl game since 2003.

McElwain predicted the bowl victory would help the Rams with recruiting and said it was evidence how far the program had come.

Kessler even outdid Carr, his fellow Bakersfield native and friend, setting the Las Vegas Bowl record for TD passes before halftime and finishing 22 for 30.

Carr, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader in yards passing and total offense, became the fourth player in NCAA history to surpass 5,000 yards passing and 50 TD passes during the game.

The Aztecs pulled away early, scoring three touchdowns in a 5:24 span stretching from the end of the first half into the third quarter. The scoring spree was fueled by two costly Buffalo turnovers, the first an interception just before halftime that set up Kaehlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-yard touchdown toss to Dylan Denso.

The Bulls then fumbled on the opening kick in third quarter. The Aztecs (8-5, 6-2 Mountain West) scored five plays later when Kaehler fired an 11yard TD to Adam Roberts to go up 35-10.

Not much went right for the Bulls (8-5, 6-2 MidAmerican Conference), playing in the second bowl game in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100-year history. Buffalo had three turnovers and just 309 total yards.

KANSAS 86, GEORGETOWN 64

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Hoya coach: That wasn’t physical

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Big East as we once knew it might be dead, but its signature brand of basketball is alive and well.

Just don’t tell that to Georgetown coach John Thompson III, who was less than impressed with his team’s toughness during a 86-64 loss to Kansas University on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

“You thought we were physical today?” inquired Thompson III, asked about the bruising nature of Saturday’s game. “I

thought we were the farthest thing from that.”

He wasn’t kidding. Despite comments from Kansas players who said Georgetown was the most physical team they had faced thus far, Thompson III said the Hoyas (7-3) did not play up to their standard for physicality, particularly in the paint, where the Jayhawks outrebounded the visitors 39-29 and stood tall every time they were pushed.

“I don’t think we were physical tonight at all,” Thompson III continued.

“We slapped and fouled,

but we weren’t physical. ...

We have to be an aggressive team in general, and if you look at the game, we didn’t make enough physical plays.

And when I say that I mean a good box-out. We have to be the one to come up with the 50-50 balls.”

This was not a case of a coach seeing something that nobody else in his locker room saw. Georgetown’s Nate Lubick, who finished with four points and five rebounds in 16 minutes before fouling out, agreed with Thompson’s assessment of the Hoyas’ effort.

“Obviously we didn’t

do what we needed to do to win the game,” Lubick said. “... We didn’t come ready to rebound, ready to fight, and that’s why they won the game.”

Three Georgetown players fouled out. Two others finished with four fouls.

And the Jayhawks finished half a dozen plays at the rim with whistles blowing and Hoyas hanging on them. To make matters worse for Georgetown, KU made 31 of 46 free throws, with the KU big men combining to hit 20 of 26 freethrow attempts.

“They did a good job of

getting us in foul trouble,” Thompson III said. “Their front-court was very good today.”

Asked if was impressed by the way Kansas (8-3) stepped up and matched the Hoyas’ toughness, Lubick simply tipped his cap.

“Yeah. They were physical,” he said.

One of the most physical forces for the Jayhawks on Saturday was freshman center Joel Embiid, who finished with 17 points and eight rebounds in 21 minutes and shot 9-of-12 from the free-throw line.

Considering Thompson

III grew up watching his father (legendary Hoyas coach John Thompson) coach Georgetown greats Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning and others, his comments about Embiid carried significant weight.

“He’s pretty good,” Thompson III said with amusement. “Not only is he pretty good, he must be pretty smart because he’s getting better and better and better with each game.

He has a chance to be a special player, there’s no two ways about that. He might be at that point already.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER JOEL EMBIID (21) REJECTS AN ATTEMPTED DUNK BY GEORGETOWN FORWARD AARON BOWEN during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 86-64 victory over the Hoyas on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

BOX SCORE

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I knew there were things I was going to go through. The thing that made it easier was, I played before. I knew what I was capable of the whole time.

It was a matter of finding it in this system and having the faith the time was going to come, the opportunity was going to present itself and be ready for it. I had to continue to work hard so when the time came I didn’t let it pass me by.”

Black said it was easy to not get too low during a foul-plagued start to his senior season. His previous scoring high had been eight points in the season opener versus Louisiana at Monroe. He had a season-high seven boards in that game.

“I have a great coaching staff that told me to keep my head up and keep on working,” said Black, who also received a boost from his mom, Judith, and dad, Lawrence, who were in the stands Saturday.

“My teammates ... they push me. Joel (17 points, 4-for-4 shooting, 9-for-12 from line, eight rebounds) and Naa (Naadir Tharpe, 10 points, four assists) tell me every day, ‘You need to play in games like you do in practice and play hard.’”

Black played 12 minutes the second half, some of that alongside Embiid. Forward Perry Ellis played just two minutes of the half, leaving after getting hammered in the back of the head by Nate Lubick on a shooting foul at 18:44. Ellis sat out the rest of the game with concussion-like symptoms. Ellis, who had five points and two boards in 12 minutes, is OK and not expected to miss any practice time.

“The same balls that had

“He made his free throws for the most part. He got an opportunity to play extended minutes. It’s hard to get in rhythm if you are playing two to three minutes a time at the most.

“That was nice to be able to take Joel out and get just as good production bringing Tarik in,” Self added.

“One thing I did see today, depending on how the other team plays, we can play those two guys together, too. That was a bonus. If we keep getting production out of Tarik and Joel, we’ll be a hard team to deal with. Jamari (Traylor, eight points, 3-for-3 shooting, seven boards in 20 minutes) was great off the bench as well.”

Embiid had a solid block of an Aaron Bowen shot in the first half and a follow dunk off a miss

by Andrew Wiggins (12 points, 3-for-10 shooting) in the second half. Both were certainly worthy of “SportsCenter” plays of the day and/or the season’s highlight video.

“Look at this guy, man.

This right here is a load in itself,” Black said with a smile, pointing to Embiid in the interview room. “We can definitely

do damage on the inside.

When I get my opportunities, if I come out and perform the way I am supposed to ... we also have Landen Lucas that can come in and perform at a high level. We are dangerous in the frontcourt.”

Tharpe, who said he shares leadership duties with Black at practice, knew the big guy was primed for a big game.

“Definitely,” said Tharpe, who worked 28 minutes.

Backup point Frank Mason had five points and four assists in 15 minutes. “Every practice, he (Black) is a guy that is always talking. If not me, he’s always talking as well. He never gets down on himself or tries to put the other team down. The one thing about him throughout that time he was a little down, he was a good teammate the whole time.”

Black had six points in a 14-3 run that turned a 2423 deficit into a 37-27 KU lead. KU (8-3) held a 4434 advantage at the break over the Hoyas (7-3). The Jayhawks hit 31 of 46 free throws in a physical game to Georgetown’s 16 of 28.

Georgetown hit 22 of 54 shots (40.7 percent), including four of 15 threes to KU’s 54.3 percent shooting (five of 14 threes).

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN, LEFT, AND NIKO ROBERTS CELEBRATE A JAYHAWK DUNK during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 86-64 victory over Georgetown on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

Self says Ellis should be OK after hit after elbowing Black in the first half. Black made both free throws.

“I was moving my feet side-to-side trying to defend him. You know he is a big guy, very talented,” Black said. “He caught the ball. I think I was on his left side, and I shifted over, and that is the way he went with his move. He came over with his elbows high, and when he came back on his move he caught me a little bit on the cheek. That is basketball, though. It is a rough sport.”

A hard shot to the back of the head delivered by Georgetown’s Nate Lubick on a second-half shooting foul ended Kansas University forward Perry Ellis’ day Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Ellis — who missed badly on a free-throw attempt before giving way to substitute shooter Wayne Selden on the second try — headed to the locker room for good with 18:16 left in the Jayhawks’ 86-64 victory.

“I am not a doctor, so I don’t know the medical terms, but if he had a concussion it’s very, very, very slight,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He got hit and bruised a nerve in his neck, and that caused the (disorientation) problem.

It’ll be something he’ll be able to come back from, the doctors thought, in a very short period of time.

I don’t think it’ll be a problem at all.

“He got hit hard,” Self added. “If he didn’t have a concussion, it certainly appeared he did after his first free throw. They said when it hits this nerve here (in back of head), it caused him to not have good equilibrium. That was the reason he had to come out.”

KU senior Tarik Black said Ellis, who is not expected to miss any practice time, told him he was fine.

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS COMPETES FOR A REBOUND with Georgetown center Josh Smith (24) and KU teammate Tarik Black during the first half.

“In the back (lockerroom area), he told us he was good,” Black said. “He said when he shot that free throw he felt like he was going with the ball.

“I got hit like that. When I was trying to dunk the ball, Josh (Smith, Georgetown) caught me. It makes you disoriented for a second. It throws you off.”

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF GETS AFTER his defense during the first half.

Wiggins’ three speaks volumes: After having words with Aaron Bowen and Jabril Trawick after some physical play, Andrew Wiggins immediately responded by hitting a three-pointer. Wiggins hit two of five threes and three of 10 shots total for 12 points with four assists and three turnovers in 33 minutes.

Full arena on rotten weather day: The fieldhouse was full for KU’s first home game in 29 days.

“I thought the crowd was great,” Self said. “I was kind of nervous that people wouldn’t show up because of the weather (forecast of ice and snow that started falling after game). I’ve said that 20 times since I’ve been here.

It seems to me it doesn’t matter. (Fans say), ‘We’ll

Smith to five points and no rebounds in 19 minutes before fouling out. As a freshman playing for UCLA in Allen Fieldhouse, Smith totaled 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Embiid and Black kept the hefty Smith huffing and puffing all day.

“We need to play through our bigs,” Self reiterated. “That’s the strength of our team. We haven’t been a really good passing team so far to take advantage of that.”

That no doubt will be a point of emphasis during the break between semesters, and the guards will become better at feeding the post. Mix in Embiid’s steady improvement, and it’s frightening to think how much of an offensive force he can become by the time Big 12 play starts.

There I go thinking about what he will become instead of appreciating what he is.

It’s very difficult not to look at him that way and very easy to watch him play basketball already.

Ice and snow frustrate travelers across U.S. during holiday rush CHICAGO (AP) — A storm with a 2,000-mile footprint threatened to frustrate Christmas travelers from Texas to Nova Scotia with a little of everything Mother Nature has to offer, from freezing rain, ice and snow to flooding, thunderstorms and at least one tornado in the South.

Some of the millions of people hitting the roads and airports Saturday squeaked through before any major weather hit, but as the afternoon wore on, cancellations and delays started to mount at major aviation hubs. Forecasters said roads that are passable one minute could become treacherous the next as a cold blast on the backend of the storm turns rain to ice and snow.

Making it harder for forecasters to stay a step ahead, the system was a weird swirl of wintry and spring-like weather as it passed over areas in the Midwest. While ice was accumulating in Oklahoma and elsewhere, downing trees and power lines, Memphis, Tenn., was en-

joying spring-like weather, with temperatures reaching into the 70s.

Authorities said a suspected tornado injured three people and damaged three homes Saturday evening near Hughes, Ark., which is just 35 miles southwest of Memphis.

And David Cox, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Jackson, Miss., said a second suspected tornado touched down near Dermott in far southeastern Arkansas, injuring two people and damaging about 20 homes.

“This is a particularly strong storm with very warm, near record-breaking temperatures in the East and very cold air in the Midwest, and that contrast is the sort of conditions that are favorable for not only winter weather but also tornadoes,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Danaher in College Park, Md. About 350 flights had been canceled, nationwide, as of 4 p.m. Saturday, according to aviation tracking website FlightAware.com.

Warmth records NEW YORK — New York City, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N.J., have broken temperature records during a brief December heat wave.

The National Weather Service says the temperature in Central Park hit a recordsetting 65 degrees Saturday. The previous record was 62, set in 2011 and 1923.

Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N.J., reached 67 degrees on Saturday afternoon. That broke Atlantic City’s previous mark of 63 degrees, set in 2011, and bested Philadelphia’s previous high of 66 degrees, set in 1895.

The temperature rose to a balmy 68 in Wilmington, Del., beating the previous mark of 65, set in 1895.

And the 64 degrees recorded in Newark, N.J. broke the previous mark of 62, set in 2011.

Temperatures in the area could top 70 today.

‘Anchorman 2’ sparkles in some areas, fizzles in others.

A look at the 10 best movies of the year

2

013 was an embarrassment of film riches, and the best movies of the year are all over the place in terms of budget, scope, genre and style. The Coen brothers delivered a typically bleak comedy infused with uplifting music in the outstanding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Llewyn Davis,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue is the Warmest Colorâ&#x20AC;? contrasted the electric rush of new love with its eventual demise, and the under-seen indie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Short Term 12â&#x20AC;? profiled the troubled youths who live and run a halfway house with surprising depth and maturity.

And those movies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even make the Top 10. Here goes nothing: 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Them Bodies Saintsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; David Loweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sundance stunner starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara as a Texas married couple forced apart after a robbery gone bad, casts a unique spell for such a classic theme: the doomed love story. Lush cinematography and naturalistic acting make it linger well beyond its running time.

9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Will Forte is desperate to make a connection with his father, Bruce Dern, and new shades of their strained relationship are unexpectedly revealed in this black-and-white low-key road trip movie from director Alexander Payne. Filled with insight about incommunicative families and unexamined lives, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;? also has some of the most cathartic laughs of the year.

8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Hustleâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Leave it to David O. Russell to turn a real-life corruption scandal from

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, left, and Christina Applegate as Veronica Corningstone in a scene from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Philomenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Anchormanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uneven â&#x20AC;&#x153;Philomena,â&#x20AC;? at Liberty Hall, is the new British comedy/drama from director Stephen Frears (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dangerous Liaisons,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Queenâ&#x20AC;?). It stars Steve Coogan as a recently disgraced government adviser who also happens to be an overly judgmental jerk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Coogan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who also adapted the book written by his character Martin Sixsmith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plays it too broadly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that the script makes Sixsmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner monologue too overt.

The object of his initial scorn (and fascination, as long as her story pans out enough to make for a real page-turner) is Philomena Lee (Judi Dench). She is a devout Englishwoman who was forced to give her son up for adoption 50 years ago by the nuns who ran the convent she lived and worked in. The story of who her son eventually became and the lies told by the convent to cover up their misdeeds is fascinating, but the majority of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Philomenaâ&#x20AC;? is a typical odd-couple road trip, as Sixsmith uncovers the mystery and becomes increasingly outraged.

Will Sixsmith learn to empathize with human beings in general? Will he come to respect the simple-minded old woman and her religious beliefs?

Of course he will, but only in the most reductive way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through a series of halfbaked â&#x20AC;&#x153;comicâ&#x20AC;? exchanges that sell out the actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempts at creating real characters.

Brick Tamland, the dim-witted weather man from another planet played by Steve Carell in 2004â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely cult comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,â&#x20AC;? is a fantastic

expositional dialogue has no sting. The artificial nature of the story is part of the point, of course, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a strong enough satirical streak here to keep it afloat. And, unfortunately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anchorman 2â&#x20AC;? canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be categorized as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airplane!â&#x20AC;?/â&#x20AC;?Naked Gunâ&#x20AC;?-style gag-a-minutecomedy because the gags just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come quick enough, especially for a two-hour film.

Tickets are $120 per couple or $60 for singles. To reserve, visit thebroadwayjazzclub.com.

The most grandiose and upscale New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve event in the region is without a doubt the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eve 2013â&#x20AC;? event at the Kauffman Center, which features performances by old-timey duo Victor & Penny, a jazz concert by Dave Stephens, and a performance by the acrobatic Quixotic troupe. Ticket packages start at $95 and go as high as $1,000 for those who wish to experience the VIP dining, drinking and social options. Visit evekc.com to learn more.

Another multifaceted event is the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Extravaganza at the Uptown Theater, the largest indoor party in the city, with five rooms featuring different styles of music and entertainment as well as a laser light snow.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open-bar for this all-inclusive blowout, which costs $55 a person. Tickets on sale at uptowntheater.com.

My personal pick, however, is also the cheapest.

For just $15, The Record Bar (1020 Westport Road), will be showcasing two of the best bands in the area. Art-punk quintet Lazy kicks off the evening at 10 p.m. or just after, and afro-beat sensation Hearts of Darkness will close out the night.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a Volkswagen,â&#x20AC;? the line reads in the first paragraph of local writer Gregg Primo Ventelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essay.

A Volkswagen Passat he affectionately calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Das Schweinehund,â&#x20AC;? which translates literally as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pigdog.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nickname I gave my car because I hated my car,â&#x20AC;? Ventello says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schweinehund is an expletive in German. It was a strange odyssey owning this car.â&#x20AC;?

Ventelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Das Schweinehundâ&#x20AC;? was recognized as a Notable Essay in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best American Essays Gregor Brune, 2013.â&#x20AC;? librarian, Written in the secondLawrence â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Dusk to Decadenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; person narrative voice, the piece opens with (by Jacques Barzun).â&#x20AC;?

Ventello deliberating the purchase of this German car from his sister-inlaw who offered it for a reasonable price. As a mechanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, he knew better than to invest in a car so difficult to repair on his own and much too expensive to maintain.

But despite his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about German cars, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was more car than I could have ever possibly afforded,â&#x20AC;? Ventellos says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had leather, heated seats and a 12-speaker stePearl Greene, reo and all kinds of crazy student, stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence The essay comically â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;1984â&#x20AC;&#x2122; details the many me(by George Orwell).â&#x20AC;? chanical problems he inevitably encounters and his attempts at saving money while ignoring the only piece of advice the Volkswagen manual offers: taking the car to the closest Volkswagen dealer, for specific Volkswagen parts, and, in one instance, using only a specially made Volkswagen tool.

Ventello was inspired to write this essay after reading a work by Thomas Kennedy in UMKCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinton Haynes, quarterly New Letters. sales, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wrote this essay Lawrence in second person about â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Fault in Our Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trying to have his prostate (by John Green).â&#x20AC;? diagnosed and just the awful stuff that he went through, and it was a really funny essay,â&#x20AC;? he says.

WRITER GREG PRIMO VENTELLOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PIECE â&#x20AC;&#x153;DAS SCHWEINHUNDâ&#x20AC;? was recognized as a Notable Essay in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best American Essays.â&#x20AC;? Ventello is pictured in the backyard of his Lawrence home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I thought, I can do this with the Volkswagen.â&#x20AC;?

After sending the essay to 12 publications and receiving rejection letters from all of them, Carolina Quarterly in North Carolina published it in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring/Summer issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lesson there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that not every editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion matters,â&#x20AC;?

Ventello says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was a good essay. Not only because I worked so hard on it, and from what I know it seemed like a good essay.â&#x20AC;?

Another one of his essays, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commuter,â&#x20AC;? about the drive he makes every day from Lawrence to his job in Kansas City, Kan., was picked up by New Letters and nominated for a Pushcart Prize, a literary award by Pushcart Press that honors the best poetry, short fiction or essays published in the small presses.

Ventello teaches Eng-

lish, African-American literature, composition and gender studies courses at Kansas City Kansas Community College. While he loves teaching, he dreads his drive to work, simply because he hates being in a car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Commuterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was written as a metaphor for our lives,â&#x20AC;? Ventello says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This narrative about how how unfortunate it is to spend as much time as we do in our cars. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a son of a mechanic and I have this love-hate relationship with cars. If I could eliminate them from my life, I would. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a number of pieces where cars play this important part, but I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being more critical of our culture than anything else.â&#x20AC;?

Growing up in a large Italian family surrounded by aunts and uncles whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d share stories has given him a greater appreciation for storytelling.

He credits his writing

skills to the excellent teachers and writing programs he had in South Jersey, where he grew up.

He hopes to publish a book of essays, already having more than enough material, but no clear direction of the overarching theme. His goal is to get a handle on narrative writing, both with fiction and nonfiction pieces.

Deciding whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one cohesive volume will come later, Ventello says.

The only intentional move heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made is writing bookends for it, he says.

The first essay is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commuterâ&#x20AC;? and the last essay is about the commute back to Lawrence called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strada Del Morteâ&#x20AC;? or the street of death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in any rush,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;?

It tells the story of the remarkable building, opened in 1884 on 23rd Street in New York City, and its legendary inhabitants, but it does something more, presenting an oft-overlooked current of American utopianism, one that was urban, creative and surprisingly long-lived.

43 Left handed Mr. Lucky

Dad wants forgiveness before daughter’s wedding Dear Annie: Four months ago, I foolishly accused my 22-year-old daughter of something of which she was innocent. She was deeply hurt. I tearfully told her many times over several days how sorry I am. I begged for forgiveness.

She said she is not capable of forgiving once she is hurt so much.

My daughter is engaged and planning a simple wedding ceremony in a church next summer. She has become distant and withdrawn, and there is no warmth like there was before.

She tells me she is trying hard to get closer and hopes one day to forgive me and has asked for my patience.

My daughter is adopted. Before our falling out, her biological father and I were supposed to walk her down the aisle together. It would be one of the greatest honors of my life. My fear

the offense and the personalities involved.

Add to that the stress of planning a wedding, and your daughter may be overwhelmed and unable to deal appropriately with the complications of your relationship. But weddings also can encourage people to reconcile, and we hope that will happen.

There is still time.

Unless you are specifically told not to come to the wedding, please attend, even if you don’t have the opportunity to walk the bride down the aisle. Your presence is a show of support for her and also an act of contrition that you are willing to be there in spite of being “demoted” from father of the bride to guest.

Dear Annie: My partner and I moved into our house a year ago. So far, we have met only one of our neighbors. Would it be OK to give some

of the others a Christmas card to try to open up a line of friendship?

We are a gay couple and don’t wish to offend anyone. — Trying To Be a Friendly Neighbor Dear Trying: It is never inappropriate to send holiday greetings to your neighbors.

Those who don’t wish to communicate will not respond. Those who do are likely to send a card in return or at the very least acknowledge you when they see you. But keep in mind that some people are simply busy, go in and out of garages, and rarely have the opportunity to see or chat with their neighbors.

Please don’t assume it’s personal. If you want to know them better, invite them for coffee or host a ACROSS neighborhood party.
