City deciding on depth of Rock Chalk audit

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

As city commissioners begin the process of hiring an auditor, one of the questions they’ll soon have to answer is how detailed they want to be to ensure that expenditures match receipts for about $12 million worth of no-bid infrastructure work at Rock Chalk Park.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting agreed to begin negotiations

A distinguished social work professor with a track record in research fundraising will be Kansas University’s next dean of the School of Social Welfare, KU announced Wednesday.

Paul Smokowski, Distinguished Foundation Professor in Child and Adolescent Resilience in the Arizona State University School of Social Work, will start July 1.

He will replace Mary Ellen Kondrat, who served as dean eight years before retiring in June 2014. Interim dean is Tom McDonald, professor and associate dean for research.

In addition to his role at Arizona State University, Smokowski Smokowski serves as director of the North Carolina Academic Center for Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention and as a research professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, according to KU. Smokowski’s research teams have received more than $10 million in federal funding from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. He has published more than 75 articles and book chapters on issues related to risk, resilience, acculturation, adolescent mental health, family stress and youth violence prevention.

Conference hopes to give boost to crops Colby — A meeting that aims to increase crop production in northwest Kansas and the central High Plains is planned for later this month in Kansas.

Dubbed the “Cover Your Acres” conference, the event is hosted by Kansas State Research and Extension and the Northwest Kansas Crop Residue Alliance. It is set for Jan. 20 and 21 at the Gateway Center in Oberlin, with the

done much work to verify that the amount of money the general contractor is requesting reimbursement for matches up with the receipts the contractor has related to the work.

Instead, City Manager David Corliss said much of that verification has been left in the hands of the Kansas University Endowment Association, which has been a partner in the project.

The KU Endowment entity — RCP, LLC — has the construction contract with Bliss Sports II, the general contractor that is led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel.

By contract, Bliss Sports II submits its costs for building the infrastructure to RCP, and RCP in turn submits the costs to the city for reimbursement.

RCP’s primary method for verifying Bliss Sports II’s costs involves requiring subcontractors to sign statements affirming the amount of money they have been paid by Bliss as part of the project. Those documents then were provided to the city for review.

The Journal-World, however, noted discrepancies this week in several of the documents provided to the city. The documents included applications for payment from various subcontractors working for Bliss.

The documents also included lien waivers that showed the subcontractors had been paid by Bliss for certain amounts

of work. Such payment applications and lien waivers were filed on roughly a monthly basis.

But a Journal-World review found that many of the lien waivers acknowledging payment actually were signed and dated prior to the payment applications being filed. In other words, the documents show subcontractors were being paid before they even requested payment.

When questioned by the Journal-World, RCP officials acknowledged that the documents weren’t entirely accurate. Monte Soukup, senior vice president for property management at KU Endowment, said in a written statement that some of those documents “actually were signed on other, later dates.”

Those included lien waivers, which require the subcontractor to sign a statement under oath affirming that the facts and figures listed on the lien waiver are accurate.

Soukup conceded the lien waivers had technical inaccuracies because of the date issues and because the waivers list subcontractors receiving payments on dates that were prior to the payments actually being received.

But Soukup said he believes it is “a common practice” for some legal documents to have such date discrepancies. In this case, the lien waivers were prepared ahead of time with the instructions that the dates should match the end of the monthly billing cycle for the project.

When questioned about the discrepancy, RCP requested and received copies of can-

same program offered both days.

The meeting focuses on the latest technology, methods and conservation practices to improve crop production in the region.

Topics this year include drought-tolerant corn, cover crops, the Ogallala Aquifer, the new farm bill and crop insurance.

It typically draws more than 600 attendees from Kansas and other states.

news reports. The killings, which included newspaper staffers and at least two police officers, were called the worst militant attack on French soil in decades.

Supporters of Islamic State and other jihadi groups hailed the killings on Internet sites, citing cartoons of Muhammad as the reason.

Bhala said his reaction was one of horror and frustration.

“The horror is obviously at the loss of life, and the frustration is at the consistent misunderstanding by a very small number of cold-blooded killers who claim to act in the name of Islam but in fact are not,” he said.

In Islam, law and religion are one and the same. Either way, Bhala said, the shooters apparently relied on warped interpretations.

“They acted in a completely un-Islamic way,” Bhala said, noting that stories show the prophet Muhammad himself reacting to insults peacefully.

“These guys don’t know their own faith, so they don’t appreciate the right response should be a loving one. And they don’t understand free speech.”

Haider-Markel said based on initial information and video from the scene, the attack appeared to be the work of “homegrown” jihadis, though they seemed more sophisticated.

Multiple actors were involved, and they clearly planned ahead to obtain body armor, weapons and information about the

L awrence J ournal -W orld celled checks that Bliss had written to King Construction, the largest subcontractor on the project.

Those checks showed King Construction had been paid amounts equal to or greater than what the documents showed.

Corliss said the cancelled checks were good confirmation that receipts were matching expenditures for the project. He said his understanding is that RCP is requesting cancelled checks for the other subcontractors that received payments from Bliss.

Those checks also will be forwarded to the city for review. Until the Journal-World raised the issue, the city had not been given any cancelled checks verifying actual payments.

RCP requested the cancelled checks from Bliss.

As part of its construction contract with Bliss, RCP has the right to receive a host of documents related to the project’s accounting. Those include: “supporting accounting entries, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, subcontractor’s proposals, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda, and other data related to the contract.”

Whether the city will want its auditor to see some of those documents will be up to the City Commission to decide, said City Attorney Toni Wheeler.

Commissioners are expected to finalize a contract with McDonald & Associates at their Jan. 13 meeting.

Islamic center condemns attack Baha Safadi, spokesman for the Islamic Center of Lawrence, released the following statement Wednesday: The Islamic Center of Lawrence condemns in the strongest terms the recent attacks in Paris and all acts of terror around the World. These acts were committed by individuals belonging to the criminal organizations of ISIS and al-Qaida who have nothing to do with Islam and Muslims and are in total contradiction to the spirit of peaceful Islam. Islam teaches respect to all humanity and all creation. No one believing in God and his mercy will ever commit such acts of terror.

We stand by the people of France in total sympathy and full solidarity.

“

They acted in a completely un-Islamic way. These guys don’t know their own faith, so they don’t appreciate the right response should be a loving one.”

— Raj Bhala, KU associate dean for International and Comparative Law and Rice Distinguished Professor at the School of Law Charlie Hebdo facility to ensure they would locate people at work — “presumably the maximum number of people possible,” Haider-Markel said.

Unlike attackers whose plan includes “dying in place” or creating a standoff, these gunmen obviously planned to escape, indicating they may want to engage in future attacks, Haider-Markel said.

The gunmen also appear in photos to go about their business calmly, possibly indicating previous combat experience or training, or the influence of barbiturates, HaiderMarkel said.

Wednesday’s attack follows a series of events over the past year in Western Europe, including other incidents in France over the past three months, HaiderMarkel said.

Although of course the vast majority of French Muslims would not kill in reaction to cartoons, Haider-Markel said, he believes homegrown jihadis are a bigger threat in Europe because the Muslim communities there are less integrated into broader society than Muslims in America, where comedy targeting all religious and racial groups is commonplace.

“Those are the kinds of individuals that would be more likely to respond in the manner they see fit, not consistent with the values of the country in which they’re living,” Haider-Markel said.

Bhala said backlash and copycat acts could be a concern.

“I’m very worried that extremism begets extremism,” he said. Particularly for Muslims in France right now.

“Things are really, really tense.”

Recent KU graduate Michael Hilleary is always on the lookout for new opportunities to find himself back in a classroom.

And he’s found that opportunity in Health and Wellness 101, the first-ever online class facilitated through the Lawrence Public Library.

The massive open online course (MOOC) is offered free of charge through Kansas State University, but the library is volunteering its facilities and additional information to help increase the class completion rate, said Ransom Jabara, the library’s information services coordinator.

Students who participate in online classes at home are less likely to pass a course than those who attend the same class in a group setting, he said.

“We thought we would create a group that could work together and support each other and collaborate,” he said. “It would have a bit of that classroom feel while still being online and free.”

Through a partnership with Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the library will invite guest speakers to attend each class and provide students with further information to strengthen their understanding of the course material, Jabara said.

Currently working through AmeriCorps as a health and wellness coordinator for the Douglas County Housing Authority, Hilleary said he tries to keep himself as educated as

Leader of downtown grocery movement files for city seat

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A retiree who has been leading a group to bring a grocery store downtown has filed for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission.

David Crawford filed his paperwork Tuesday in front of a crowd of about 15 supporters at Lawrence City Hall.

He said he’ll work to bring a strong voice to ordinary citizens, and he vowed to not take any campaign contributions from developers or other special interests that have a history of “marginalizing and

dividing the community.”

“It is obvious that special interests wield too much influence over decision-making at City Hall,” Crawford said.

Crawford, 65, is a retired boilermaker and instructor for the union for boilermakers in the Kansas City area. He lived in Lawrence as a youth and while a student at Kansas University, but lived mostly in the Kansas City area during his career. He moved back to Lawrence about five years ago.

For the last year, Crawford has been the chairman of the grassroots group Downtown Grocery Project, which has

been working to convince a grocery operator to begin serving the central neighborhoods of the city. Crawford said that Crawford experience has allowed him to make numerous contacts with Lawrence neighborhood associations.

He said one of his goals as a commissioner would be to try to encourage more neighborhood involvement at City Hall. Crawford said he thinks

the City Commission could do more to establish a better rapport with community members.

“I think the City Commission needs to find a way to make more connections with ordinary residents,” Crawford said.

Crawford is the eighth candidate to file for one of the three at-large seats on the commission. The other candidates are City Commissioner Bob Schumm; Leslie Soden, the owner of a Lawrence pet sitting company; Stuart Boley, a retired IRS agent; Stan Rasmussen, an attorney for the U.S. Army; Matthew Herbert, a

Lawrence High School government and civics teacher; Justin Priest, a Lawrence bus driver and leader of the local transit union; and Mike Anderson, the host of a cable television program.

Commissioners Mike Dever and Terry Riordan also have terms expiring in April, but they have not yet announced whether they plan to seek reelection. Candidates have until noon Jan. 27 to file for one of the three at-large seats. A March 3 primary will narrow the field to six candidates.

The general election will be April 7.

Where, exactly, will your Lawrence-area representatives be this session?

Topeka — House Democrats finalized their committee assignments over the weekend. Republicans put out their assignments last month. So if you’re wondering where your Douglas County-area representative is going to be this session, here’s the list.

Committees generally meet at 9 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Not all committees meet every day. The House typically comes into session at 11 a.m. Of course, as the session nears the end, those times can change.

Morgan said. That goal also coincides with the beginning of a new year, when many people are committing to health-oriented resolutions.

The seven-week course begins Jan. 14, Jabara said.

Classes are held each Wednesday afternoon and homework will be assigned, he said.

Although the course is open to enrollment through Kansas State University, there are only 20 seats available through the library, Jabara said.

Patti Sergent, another AmeriCorps employee and wellness assistant with Healthcare Access, said she has already signed up for the MOOC and is planning to recruit several of her patients to enroll as well.

“I thought I would take the class and have them take it with me,” she said.

“That way I could learn more to help my patients and they could benefit as well.”

Jabara said early feedback on the MOOC has been positive and if the first course goes well there is a strong possibility the library will offer more in the future.

Privacy law reduces student Join us forCoffee& participation in drug survey A Newspaper

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — An amendment to a new privacy law has sharply reduced the number of students participating in an annual survey that measures substance abuse, potentially hurting efforts to fight drug and alcohol use among young Kansas residents, according to mental health officials.

For nearly two decades, about 100,000 students have filled out the Kansas Communities That Care survey each year. But that number could drop to 25,000 this year because of an amendment to a data privacy bill the Legislature passed last year, which requires parental permission before students can answer any surveys with

Panel CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

still negotiating possible changes to the Professional Negotiations Act, which spells out the issues that must be negotiated in master contracts with teachers.

“Right now, our position as a commission has been, let’s let the process proceed,” Williams said.

The proposal to require annual audits stirred some controversy. The draft bill would create another panel that would establish certain “best practices” for financial management of school districts and then require annual audits to find out if districts were complying with those practices.

Commissioners agreed to put that in their final report only after more moderate members insisted language be added ensuring that the state would pay for the cost of the audits.

“My basic concern is, we’re dealing with another unfunded mandate,” said commission member John Vratil, a former Republican state senator from Leawood.

“We have said as a commission we don’t favor unfunded mandates.

Then we consider legislation that imposes another unfunded mandate. I just think it’s very hypocritical.”

But Dave Trabert, president of the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute, supported requiring the audits.

“I would remind the commission that the reason this is proposed is that we’ve heard months of testimony indicating that schools are operating inefficiently, often by choice,” Trabert said.

“We’ve heard Legislative Post Audit indicating that schools are operating inefficiently. That’s been the audit results for years, frankly.”

Janis Lee, a former Democratic state senator from Kensington, strongly disagreed with that statement.

“I know that efficiency is one of the things they work very hard for to get the money into the classroom,” Lee said.

Trabert said one example is that some districts choose not to contract out for certain things like food service, even though it could be cheaper for them to do so.

The commission’s report is expected to be finalized later this week. It will be forwarded to the Kansas Legislature when it convenes the 2015 session on Jan. 12.

questions about issues such as sex, religion or family life, The Kansas City Star reported.

Several school district attorneys decided that the law applied to the survey because it contains questions a b o u t family SCHOOLS life. And since time was limited before pre-enrollment packets containing parental permission slips went out last summer, many districts decided not to participate in the survey this year.

“Everybody was like, ‘Holy criminy, how did this get passed?’” said Michelle Voth, executive di-

rector of the Kansas Family Partnership in Topeka.

The original goal of the bill was to address the privacy concerns of those who oppose the national Common Core education guidelines for math and English, partly because of concern it will lead to the widespread sharing of confidential data about individual students.

Mental health agencies point out that none of the survey answers can be traced back to individual students.

The data has helped agencies target their efforts, such as moving the focus to middle school when the data showed that students were beginning to experiment with alcohol about age 13, Burgess said.

Lawrence and Free State high schools will send seven varsity teams to compete in the Kansas 6A state tournament competition in Derby in mid-January, with several of them heading on to other prestigious tournaments as well.

Lawrence High’s fourspeaker team will compete with seven other schools in the four-speaker division for the state championship at Derby High School, Jan. 16 and 17. Meanwhile, in the two-speaker team division, Lawrence High will send two teams and Free State High will send four more to compete against 21 other schools.

Free State will also send one two-speaker team, seniors Solomon Cottrell and Parker Hopkins, to the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Dallas, held June 14 through 19.

“This group of students works hard to prepare for every tournament,” Free State coach Jason Moore said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if any of our teams advance deep into the tournament.”

The LHS four-member team consists of seniors Kelli Sturm and Hayley Luna and juniors Bradlea Padgett and Stefan Petrovic. Luna and Petrovic were members of the four-speaker team that placed third at the state

“This is about as strong and as deep a debate team as we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Lawrence High coach Jeff Plinsky said of his four-speaker unit. “I hope we have as good of a showing, if not better (than last year).”

Lawrence High’s twospeaker teams feature junior Jesse Belt partnered with sophomore Sungho Hwang and sophomore Michael Braman partnered with Bryce Dunn.

The Free State twospeaker teams heading to state are: Cottrell and Hopkins; junior Linda Liu and sophomore Sophia Swanson; senior Adam Strathman and junior Nikki Myers; and junior Genevieve Prescher and sophomore Paige Lawrence.

Plinsky said two-speaker teams qualify for state by winning at least half of their debates in invitational competitions. Fourspeaker teams qualify through tournament play.

Out of the Topeka Regional, held Dec. 19 through 20, Lawrence High and Manhattan High beat out Free State and two other schools for spots in the four-speaker state competition with 6-2 records. Free State finished third with a 3-5 record.

Debaters from both teams will also be featured at the Debate Coaches Invitational, Jan. 9 through 10 at Blue Valley North High School in Overland Park. The annual competition, organized by debate coaches across the state, pits up to 40 of the best teams, regardless of school classification, against each other.

Petrovic and Luna will represent LHS while Cottrell and Hopkins will debate for FSHS, according to their respective coaches. Free State’s Prescher and Liu also qualified for the tournament but cannot attend, Moore said.

Smokowski has dual bachelor’s degrees in psychology and theater arts from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

He received his master’s degree in social work from SUNY-Buffalo and his doctorate in social welfare from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Vitter said he expected Smokowski to build on progress from Kondrat’s tenure. Under her leadership the school doubled and diversified its external funding for research, created a competencybased curriculum, increased program accessibility by initiating the first master’s program at KU taught partially online and expanded the master’s program to western Kansas with programs in Hays and Garden City, according to KU. — Enterprise reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

Swatting

“

‘Swatting’ is a call that would initiate the use of a SWAT team. We’ve had a couple, but they didn’t get the full-scale response CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A said. The early morning they were hoping for.” drama was an act of a dangerous version of a prank call known as “swatting.”

The concept is called “swatting” because the prank callers develop stories so elaborate that, if they were real, they would require a Special Weapons and Tactics team to respond to the incident, McKinley said. “‘Swatting’ is a call that would initiate the use of a SWAT team,” McKinley said. “We’ve had a couple, but they didn’t get the full-scale response they were hoping for.

We are not quite as likely as other departments to force an entry.”

When the LPD receives a call like that, officers use a process to assess the situation and help prevent excessive force in unfounded claims, McKinley said.

“Patrol officers arrive there first to block off traffic, take evidence and gather information,” McKinley said. “If we start to confirm some things, then you call in additional units.”

During Sunday’s call, McKinley said, the LPD’s tactical team was never used and police left the scene within 20 minutes of arrival.

— Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley McKinley said caution is taken, especially when dealing with untraceable numbers like the call on Sunday or calls that come into the LPD administrative line listed on the Internet, rather than a direct call into 911.

“Caller ID is not on dispatch lines, so there’s no ability to call back,” McKinley said.

The pranksters, who could be located anywhere in the world, use online phone systems like Skype or Google Voice, which allow users to create fake phone numbers with area codes from all parts of the country. McKinley said these phone numbers are practically untraceable.

“Internet calls don’t hit any cell towers. Here we thought it was bad when Wal-Mart started selling disposable Track phones for $50,” McKinley said.

“At least we could look at the cell tower and surveillance footage to help determine who made the call.”

McKinley said responding to false reports is not very financially

costly, estimating the manpower plus mileage to respond to a false call is about $50 an hour, but the calls do affect the safety of the community.

Fast-moving emergency vehicles and handling of weapons at an otherwise safe scene pose risks to the community, he said. Plus, it takes officers off patrol in other areas where crime actually might be occurring.

“Often times it’s not the financial cost, but the cost of danger with that kind of response,” McKinley said.

Motives for swatting range from malicious revenge on a prankster’s acquaintance to sheer mischief, McKinley said.

“They put together these sophisticated stories to get us to take an action against someone in retaliation, or some just want to see what we’ll do,” McKinley said.

“It’s kind of like pulling a fire alarm and watching the fire trucks pull up.”

The KHRC certifies to HUD that Dennis Mesa in his capacity as Executive Director and the City of Lawrence certifies to HUD that Mike Amyx in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.

HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Tenants to Homeowners, Inc. to use HUD program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the KHRC’s and City of Lawrence’s certification’s for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the KHRC or the City of Lawrence; (b) the KHRC or the City of Lawrence has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD at 400 State Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

But 715’s Seven-Dollar Donuts, a brunch-menu best-seller that’s sold outside of those hours as “ricotta frittelle,” aren’t exactly like the ones your dad might pick up Sunday afternoon at the grocery store clearance aisle.

“The ricotta makes them a lot lighter,” Zach Thompson, executive chef at 715, says of the fritters, which are fried to order and rolled in spiced sugar. “Not as dense as a doughnut hole, but it still has that nostalgic feeling to it.”

The doughnuts come with a crème anglaise dip (made with calvados apple brandy and served on the side) for some sweet, vanilla-y goodness.

The dish is grounded by Mariscos’ house-made tater tots layered with crab, a spicy vinegar drizzle and a roastedgarlic Mornay sauce. A small portion costs $10, and a large portion costs $13.

ithin the next day or so, voters in the Lawrence school district will find a ballot in their mailboxes asking whether the district should be allowed to maintain its local option budget (LOB) at the current level.

It’s hard to know what will happen to state funding for K-12 education in the next year, but approving the current level of local funding for the district is a prudent way to support the Lawrence district as it ventures into uncertain financial territory.

The events that caused the district to seek this vote are a little complicated, but the bottom line is that a “yes” vote on the LOB issue will maintain — not increase — the local mill levy or the amount of property tax paid by district patrons. A “no” vote will decrease the taxes on a $100,000 home by about $14 a year, but it also will mean the Lawrence district will have $1.4 million less to work with next year.

The district lost about $1.8 million from its general fund last year after the Kansas Legislature changed the funding formula to exclude students enrolled in virtual schools. The removal of Lawrence Virtual School students from the district’s enrollment, along with some other changes resulted in a loss of $1.8 million in state aid to the Lawrence district.

At that time, the district was allowed to levy an LOB equal to no more than 31 percent of its general fund budget. To help districts make up for the loss of state funding, the Legislature allowed them to raise their LOB levies to 33 percent, which the Lawrence district did. The higher levy allowed the district to recoup about $1.4 million of what it had lost. In order to continue the LOB at 33 percent beyond this year, however, the district must conduct a mail election seeking patrons’ permission.

That’s why your ballot is in the mail.

As noted above, the situation with state school funding is extremely uncertain.

The state is facing a revenue shortfall and a court decision (which the state already has appealed) saying that the state’s level of school funding is inadequate. Both the governor and some state legislators have expressed a desire to revisit and perhaps alter the school finance formula used to distribute funding to districts throughout the state.

It’s difficult to predict what will happen to school funding in Kansas in the long term, but, in the short term, approving the LOB request will help sustain the Lawrence district budget without raising local taxes. It’s a reasonable step that voters should support.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 8, 1915: “By the fires of a single day the loss by fire for the year 1914 in years Lawrence exceeded the loss of ago 1913 by several hundred dollars.

IN 1915 The day that was so expensive to the people of Lawrence was the day the paper mill and Dunmire’s barn burned.

These were two of the largest fires that occurred in Lawrence during the year and the first was not yet extinguished until the alarm was turned in for the other…. This was the largest since the Bowersock Theatre burned in 1911.”

Market, not policy, drives oil prices Washington — The recent plunge of oil prices to below $50 a barrel offers the same lessons as previous sharp fluctuations: Energy markets work, and politicians who try to steer them almost always get it wrong.

It’s ironic that, amid this demonstration of the inexorable power of supply and demand, Congress is beginning its debate on the symbolic issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. The premise on both sides of the aisle is that legislative decisions will shape the supply of crude oil. But 40 years of experience says otherwise.

The “oil shock” aspect of price swings makes us forget that since the 1970s, the energy market has regularly oscillated because of supply and demand. Producers once imagined they could rig this market through the OPEC cartel. But one of the biggest stories of 2014 is the stone-cold death of OPEC as a viable cartel. It turns out there are just too many producers for price-fixing to work.

What accounts for the more than 50 percent decline in oil prices since mid2014? Economists say it’s a reaction to forces that have been building ever since the market recovered from the last price collapse in 2008, when it fell from over $130 a barrel to below $50. Spot prices surged again by 2012 to a peak of nearly $120, but this accelerated a gush of new production. That, cou-

The country that seems to have understood best the reality of the market is Saudi Arabia. This may surprise people who remember the Saudis as the architects of the 1973-74 embargo. But after decades of trying to control the market by rationing production, the Saudis realized that, because their oil is so cheap to produce, they were best positioned to survive in a world of oversupply.

“Why should the low-cost producer prop up prices to keep the higher-cost producers on track?” asks Nat Kern, publisher of Foreign Reports, a leading industry newsletter. He notes that

Saudis made clear back in December 2013 that they were done with their role as swing producer.

The Saudis remain the biggest players in the market, even if they’ve learned they can’t control it for long.

“OPEC may be dead, but Saudi Arabia isn’t,” says J. Robinson West, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “The moral of the story is that Saudi Arabia remains sovereign in this industry.”

This latest supply-demand turnaround began not with the oil giants but with small, independent U.S. gas producers. West notes that these “little guys” developed fracking technology a decade ago to produce gas from shale formations and cash in on what were then high prices for natural gas. Gas prices fell as supply increased, so producers turned their technology to oil, which traded at a much higher world price. Markets, not government policy, drove this activity.

The shale revolution has added more than a million barrels a day to U.S. oil production, making America an energy superpower on the order of Saudi Arabia or Russia. With the recent price collapse, some shale exploration may be halted.

But a study by Scotiabank of break-even costs of major shale plays, cited in a recent post on Vox, shows that production from the Bakken fields in North Da-

Police aren’t above the law This should not even need saying, but obviously, it does. So, for the record: To oppose police brutality is not to oppose police.

No one with a brain stands against police when they do the dangerous and often-dirty job of safeguarding life and property. But no one with a conscience should stand for them when they assault or kill some unarmed, unthreatening somebody under color of authority.

Support good cops, oppose bad ones: You’d think that a self-evident imperative. But it turns out some of us are unwilling to make the Review Online blamed distinction. For them, the Obama and de Blasio for creating a “racially charged, rabidly anti-police” atmosphere.

It might be hard to tell from that superheated rhetoric, but the sin they refer to is as follows: Obama and de Blasio called for reform as people vigorously protested the Staten Island and Fergulpitts@miamiherald.com son killings.

the cases of Rodney King in Los Angeles and Eric Garner in Staten Island make apparent, a visual record is useless if people are unwilling to see what is right in front of them. And yes, there should also be some state-level mechanism for a special prosecutor in cases like these, so we are never again asked to believe impartial justice can be meted out to a given cop by people in the local courthouse who work with him every day.

But the behavior of New York cops, their righteous pique at the idea of being questioned by the people they work for, suggests another needed reform. We must find ways to change police culture so that it becomes easier for police themselves to police themselves, to name and shame the brutal or trigger-happy incompetents among them.

Yes, that will be much easier said than done: In no other job might your life depend tomorrow on the colleague you stand up against today. But the alternative is this status quo wherein police are effectively above the law they swear to uphold.

Where bad cops cannot be questioned, good cops cannot be trusted — and all cops are undermined.

There’s something else that should not need saying, but does.

kota and some other big shale reserves is likely to continue, even with oil below $60.

Oil became a decisive strategic commodity in the 1970s, often used as a weapon against America. But the recent price collapse seems likely to bolster U.S. foreign policy leverage. Russia and Iran, two potential adversaries, are both chronically dependent on oil exports. With falling prices, they need to expand production and exports, if possible — which will add to the global supply glut.

Nobody knows how long this market cycle will last, but economists say low prices may persist, so long as the Saudis keep producing aggressively. That’s because there are so many cash-hungry producers — such as Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Venezuela, not to mention the new U.S. shale producers.

Meanwhile, Congress battles over the Keystone pipeline. At current prices, its throughput of relatively high-cost Canadian tarsands oil appears less attractive. But if the price is right, this oil will get to market, if not by pipeline then by rail.

Congress would be wise if it took its cues from the market, as the Saudis have learned to do. Ignoring price signals is a guarantee of bad energy policy.

PUBLIC FORUM

City albatross?

To the editor: Will we ever see an end to the horror that is Rock Chalk Park?

I am not referring to the structure itself, even though it is literally coming apart at the seams after less than a year of operation. What galls me is the dubious reassurance of city staff and all but one commissioner that we needn’t worry, because, after all, the city “got such a good deal” on it. This is about as convincing as the line a used-car salesman of the old school might lay on a customer to whom he has just sold a lemon.

Meanwhile, unpleasant surprises about the ill-starred project’s financing, construction and integrity keep coming in. And, unlike most controversial city undertakings, this one has not passed into grudging acceptance by the public but has sprouted coattails and strode forth to sweep aside everything in its wake. It may be argued that the specter of RCP played the spoiler’s role in the recent defeat of the sales tax issue to enhance police facilities.

Neighborhoods trust the city even less to represent their interests; taxpayers are leery of any new city project.

It would be nice if the city could simply divest its interest in the fiasco, but it’s too late for that. What is needed is for city government to put this issue behind them and move on. Municipal elections this spring could be a step in that direction. But if they fail to do so, the stylized bird “phoenix rising,” said to be the symbol of Lawrence, will be rightfully perceived as an albatross instead.

Bill Getz, Lawrence

Employees at satirical newspaper were targets of gunmen on Hamyd’s relationship to the men, but said he turned himself in because he heard his name on the news in connection with the attack.

By then, heavily armed police had already moved into the nearby city of Reims, searching for the suspects without success. Video from BFM-TV showed police dressed in white apparently taking samples inside an apartment. It was not immediately clear who lived there.

One police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, said they were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network, and Cedric Le Bechec, a witness who encountered the escaping gunmen, quoted the attackers as saying: “You can tell the media that it’s al-Qaida in Yemen.”

Cherif Kouachi, who is now 32, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted of terrorism charges in 2008 for helping funnel fighters to Iraq’s insurgency. He said he was outraged at the torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib near Baghdad.

The masked, black-clad men with assault rifles stormed the offices near Paris’ Bastille monument in the Wednesday noontime attack on the publication, which had long drawn condemnation and threats — it was firebombed in 2011 — for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized other religions and political figures.

Paris — One man sought in the deadly shooting at a French satirical paper has turned himself in, and police hunted today for two heavily armed men with possible links to al-Qaida in the military-style, methodical killing of 12 people at the office of a satirical newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.

President Francois Hollande, visiting the scene of France’s deadliest such attack in more than half a century, called the assault on the weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo “an act of exceptional barbarism.”

France raised its terror alert system to the maximum — Attack Alert — and bolstered security with more than 800 extra soldiers to guard media offices, places of worship, transport and other sensitive areas. Fears had been running high in France and elsewhere in Europe that jihadis trained in warfare abroad would stage attacks at home.

French brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, in their early 30s, should be considered armed and dangerous, according to a police bulletin released early today.

Mourad Hamyd, 18, surrendered at a police station in Charleville-Mezieres, a small town in France’s eastern Champagne region, said Paris prosecutor’s spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre. She did not offer details

Shouting “Allahu akbar!” as they fired, the men used fluent, unaccented French as they called out the names of specific employees.

Artist Corinne Rey told the French newspaper L’Humanite that she punched in the security code to the Charlie Hebdo offices after she and her young daughter were “brutally threatened” by the gunmen.

Eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor were killed, said prosecutor Francois Molins.

He said 11 people were wounded — four of them seriously.

After fleeing, the attackers collided with another vehicle, then carjacked another car before disappearing in broad daylight, Molins said.

Among the dead: the paper’s editor, Stephane Charbonnier.

The staff was in an editorial meeting and the gunmen headed straight for Charbonnier — widely known by his pen name Charb — killing him and his police bodyguard first, said Christophe Crepin, a police union spokesman.

Rey said the assault “lasted five minutes. I hid under a desk.”

Two gunmen strolled out to a black car waiting below, one of them calmly shooting a wounded police officer in the head as he writhed on the ground, according to video and a man who watched in fear from his home across the street.

KU survives Bear scare

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Waco, Texas — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self extended his right hand to Baylor big man Rico Gathers on Wednesday as they passed each other in a Ferrell Center hallway a half hour after the Jayhawks’ thrilling 56-55 victory over the Bears.

“You were a monster tonight, bud,” Self told the 6-foot-8, 275-pound Gathers after the No. 12-ranked Jayhawks (12-2, 1-0) rode some late-game heroics by Wayne Selden Jr., Kelly Oubre Jr.

Graham might return better

and Brannen Greene — and an all-around effort by Jamari Traylor (13 points, five boards) and Frank Mason III (11 points, five assists) — to victory over No. 21 BU. Gathers, who grinned and said “Thank you” to Self, pulled down 14 rebounds (nine offensive) and scored nine points — and at one point was poised to be the hero of the game after ripping numerous rebounds and 50/50 balls away from Jayhawks in 29 minutes of action.

Waco, Texas — Plenty has been made so far this season about Kansas University’s lack of point-guard depth behind Superman starter Frank Mason. But spend a game watching injured freshman Devonté Graham operate on the bench, and it’ll leave you feeling just fine about the Jayhawks’ lead-guard position.

KU women fall to Sooners — again

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The struggles against Oklahoma continued for Kansas University’s women’s basketball team Wednesday night, as the Jayhawks lost to the Sooners, 69-57, in Allen Fieldhouse.

Oklahoma has won four straight against the Jayhawks and nearly led from wire to wire. After the Jayhawks jumped to a 4-0 advantage, Sooner sophomore

guard Gioya Carter took over, scoring Oklahoma’s first 11 points.

Carter scored 11 of her 19 points before the first media timeout, but the Jayhawks were able to weather the storm.

“I thought we showed resiliency to cut it back to a two-point game at the half, because they were about to creep into double-digits (lead,)” Kansas head coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

Natalie Knight scored nine of her team-high 15 in

the first half, and Lauren Aldridge drained two threes for the fifth straight contest to help pull Kansas within two at 30-28 going into the break.

The hard work to bring the Jayhawks back in it was lost, though, within the span of four minutes in the second half.

The Sooners opened the second half on a 10-0 run, and the Jayhawks were never able to make it a onepossession game the rest of the way.

Kansas (9-6 overall, 0-2

Big 12) committed five of its 21 turnovers in that fourminute span, while Oklahoma (8-5, 2-0) only coughed it 12 times on the night.

Along with the Jayhawks’ turnovers, Henrickson was discouraged with her team’s overall effort. Kansas went to the free-throw line just three times, compared to Oklahoma’s 27.

“That’s a pretty true indicator of teams that are aggressive, attack and get to

Suns 113, Timberwolves 111 Minneapolis — Gerald Green scored 15 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to scorch his former team, and Phoenix handed Minnesota its 13th straight loss Wednesday night.

Green hit three threepointers in the fourth quarter, helping the Suns wipe away a seven-point deficit to start the period in the blink of an eye.

Goran Dragic added 25 points, and the Suns (22-16) survived a scare from the undermanned Timberwolves to win for the 10th time in 12 games.

Andrew Wiggins scored 25 points, but missed a threepointer at the buzzer that would have won the game for the Timberwolves, who haven’t won since Dec. 10. Mo Williams added 23 points and 11 assists, and the Wolves led by as many as 13 points. But they turned the ball over 22 times to fall to 5-29 on the season.

Hornets 98, Pelicans 94 Charlotte, N.C. — Kemba Walker scored 31 points, including a game-winning 11-foot jumper off the glass with 1.4 seconds left to lift Charlotte.

With the game tied, Walker drove the right side of the lane and appeared to struggle getting the shot off after Jrue Holiday hit him on the arm, but he muscled the shot in. Walker added the free throw for the three-point play.

The Pelicans had one last chance to tie, but Marvin Williams stole the inbounds pass at halfcourt and was fouled. He sank one of two shots to seal the victory. The Hornets have counted on Walker with Al Jefferson and Lance Stephenson out with injuries, and he’s stepped up to the challenge with three straight 30-point games.

K-State stops TCU to halt 3-game slide The Associated Press

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ALEX HECKMAN, LEFT, shakes hands with Free State’s Evan Yoder after Yoder won the 200-yard individual medley during a swim meet Wednesday at FSHS.

FSHS swimmers strong following long layoff

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys swimming and diving team had no problem settling back into race mode after 26 days between meets.

The Firebirds won 11 of the 12 events and took first place with 494 points at the five-team Free State Invitational on Wednesday at the Indoor Aquatic Center. Lawrence High finished second with 321 points.

Sophomore Jordan Portela, who won two state titles last year, swam with the Firebirds for the first time after his club season concluded and picked up where he left off.

Portela won the 200yard freestyle and 500 freestyle, and he also was a part of two winning relays. He said his times were “where I want to be” at this point in the year, but he was thrilled to rejoin his high school teammates.

“I was pretty pleased,” Portela said. “Just coming back from club swim team, being back in this environment, was just awesome. Seeing all these happy faces on all my friends … they were all

very supportive. It really helps.”

The Firebirds also had victories from sophomore Evan Yoder in the 200 individual medley, senior Jack Ziegler in the 50 and 100 freestyles, freshman Evan Eskilson in the 100 butterfly and backstroke and senior Josh Terrell in the 100 breaststroke.

Though the Firebirds hope to get more of their second-tier swimmers automatically qualified for state, the top swimmers on the team shined in their return to a meet.

“They’re right where they were last year about this time,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said.

“They’re a little bit faster because they’re taller and stronger. Evan (Yoder) dropped a whole lot of time over the whole year.

That’s his fastest time here for high school for us by quite a bit. We’re really excited for his performance today.”

Lawrence was led by freshmen Alex Heckman, who took second in the 200 individual medley and third in the 100 backstroke, and Stephen Johnson, who added second-place finishes in the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle. Freshman Isaac

Springe also took fourth in the 100 breaststroke and fifth in the 100 butterfly.

The Lions also received top-five finishes from seniors Ellis Springe and Chase Odgers, along with junior Jack Ryan and junior diver Izaiah Bowie, but the Lions aren’t surprised by how well the freshmen have swum this season.

“They just keep improving, and a lot of the older guys are getting leadership from them, which is a big twist,” Ellis Springe said of his brother and the other star freshmen. “It’s really interesting to see the older guys looking at them and being, like, ‘I want to be like them.’”

Besides the top swimmers, the second-tiered LHS swimmers also had plenty of highlights.

“It was really good,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “Our young guys that worked over the break, they really dropped some time. It was a lot of fun to watch.”

Both schools will compete in the Shawnee Mission Northwest Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday. l Results on page 9B

OKLAHOMA GUARD NICOLE KORNET, LEFT, battles Kansas forward Chelsea Gardner on Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

the free-throw line,” Henrickson said.

Oklahoma’s interior defense, fueled by center Kaylon Williams, was able to shut down Kansas’ guards when they penetrated and also handled KU’s leading scorer Chelsea Gardner in the post. Gardner scored seven points and was held to single digits for the third time in her last five games.

“They just clogged the lanes, and we didn’t have anything inside,” Henrickson said.

While Gardner, a preseason All-Big 12 selection, has been the focal point of the Kansas offense, Knight said the rest of the Jayhawks need to contribute more as well.

“At some point, somebody has got to step up and make a play,” Knight said. “I wouldn’t say it’s hard. We just didn’t have enough of that tonight.”

They just clogged the lanes, and we didn’t have anything inside.”

— Kansas University coach Bonnie Henrickson Knight and the Jayhawks didn’t have much to be happy about after their second straight loss to begin conference play, but she does think it could serve as reality check for what to expect.

“I guess the positive is that we know if we play like this on any other night, we’re going to get beat,” Knight said.

Kansas senior guard Asia Boyd said one thing in particular will have to change going into the Jayhawks’ next game against Kansas State.

“Effort,” Boyd simply said. “We’ve got to give more effort.”

KU will tip off against KSU at 1 p.m. Sunday in Manhattan.

Baylor honors ailing ex-Bear Austin

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Waco, Texas — Wednesday night was “Dream Again” night at the Ferrell Center, as former Baylor University standout Isaiah Austin, now a student assistant for the Bears, was honored at halftime of 12thranked Kansas University’s 56-55 victory over No. 21 Baylor, with his mother, father, friends and family by his side.

Austin, the once-promising NBA prospect who was dubbed a sure-fire first-round pick last summer, saw his dream of playing professional basketball — or basketball at any level, for that matter — come to an abrupt end when he was diagnosed with the genetic tissue disorder Marfan syndrome, five days before the draft.

Despite being told he’d never be able to play basketball again, Austin was selected by the NBA be-

tween the 15th and 16th picks of the draft and invited to live out his dream momentarily.

W h i l e the walk across the stage in Brooklyn paled in comparison to Austin suiting up in NBA cities across the country, the feel-good moment inspired Austin

to spend the rest of his life doing for others what the NBA did for him.

He currently works as a student assistant for his alma mater and has published a memoir about his life, “Dream Again,” that will be released this summer.

Austin briefly shared what his time at Baylor meant to him.

“I’m at a loss for words right now,” said the 21-year-old, 7-foot1 center decked out in a

gray suit with a lavender tie. “Months ago, when I heard the news, I was heartbroken. I was lost. I didn’t know where I was gonna turn. But as I look to my right, and I see these people right here, and I look around the gym and see all of you people here tonight, it brings tears to my eyes, and I want to do everything I can to touch and inspire lives around the world.”

The teary-eyed Austin was not the only one

overcome with emotion Wednesday.

Austin’s mother, Lisa Green, and several members of the crowd flashed smiles as tears ran down their faces during the ceremony.

“I can’t tell you how good it feels to be out here on the court at the Ferrell Center,” Austin’s mother said. “There’s not enough words to express the gratitude we feel toward Baylor for all of the love, prayers and support you’ve given us. It’s just surreal.”

good. That was a good win for us,” Self acknowledged to reporters after the handshake.

The victory — KU’s 24th in a row in conference openers — was made possible by the Jayhawks’ own set of heroes.

First Selden, who hit one of his first six shots, cashed a deep jumper, a three and an eight-foot bank shot to give KU a 54-51 lead at 1:19.

Did he try to take over late?

“Not necessarily,” Selden (9 points, 4 assists) said. “I know we had to step up and make plays, and my teammates found me.”

Baylor’s Kenny Chery (25 points) cut the gap to 54-53 at 1:08.

That score remained as Baylor (11-3, 0-2) took the ball out of bounds under its own goal with 10.1 seconds left.

That’s when freshman wing Oubre (three points, 1-of-7 shooting, 24 minutes) subbed into the game and tipped the ball off in-bounder Chery out of bounds, causing a pivotal turnover and maintaining the one-point margin.

Brannen Greene, who had hit 15 of 15 free throws on the season, was fouled with 6.3 seconds to play and swished a pair of free throws to give KU a 56-53 lead. Baylor coach Scott Drew called a timeout to try to ice Greene on his second of two freebies.

“I’m a pretty confi-

Things became even more interesting when Self elected to foul with his squad up by three, the idea not to let Baylor jack up a potential game-tying three, instead to go to the line for two foul shots down three.

So Mason fouled Chery, sending him to the line with 5.1 seconds left.

Chery hit both free throws and sliced the gap to 56-55.

Mason was fouled with 3.9 seconds left and KU up by the single point.

He missed his free throw, giving the Bears a chance to pull out a victory. Taurean Prince, who rebounded in the corner, passed to Chery, who fed Lester Medford near midcourt. Medford didn’t even get a shot off in time

as the clock expired, and KU had the victory.

“My deal is to foul under 5 (seconds, rather than let opponent shoot three),” Self said.

“We fouled right at 5. It worked out OK. The risk is you’ve got Gathers on the glass. We rolled the dice, played the percentages and got fortunate.”

Self continued ... “Usually when people foul late like that, they are going to force their opponents to miss the second one.

They decided to make it, which was smart because there were five seconds left. There was too much time. It was the percentage play, but I’m not sure I wouldn’t play it out, make them drive it or whatever, but it worked out great. What happened is, you could have lost the game because we fouled and missed the free throw. Down one, all they’ve got to do is make a basket and we lose. The worse you can do is overtime the other way.”

No overtime this night, thanks in part to the 6-foot-7 Oubre, who harassed the 5-11 Chery on the inbounds pass.

“That was the play of the game,” Greene said. “Coach made the sub. He (Oubre) hadn’t played much the second half. Kelly came in with a good attitude. He knew we needed a stop. He has the longest arms. He’s our best defender, came in and made the play.”

Self noted: “It was a great play. We made the decision to go with Wayne instead of Kelly.

Wayne scored seven straight points. Then we subbed Kelly for defense.

He gets the steal to put us in position to win the game.”

It was pivotal that KU not allow the Bears a final shot. The Jayhawks hit 72.7 percent of their shots the second half to BU’s 39.3 (KU scored just 18 points the first half).

“The plan was to make it, but it didn’t go through like that,” Mason said of his late free throw with KU up only one. “I think we were great on the defensive end. We didn’t give up any silly fouls and put them on the free-throw line (after the charity miss). I think we defended it really well. I at least thought they were gonna get a shot up, but it was good they didn’t.”

“I thought they were going to shoot deep instead of passing ahead,” Selden noted.

KU will meet Texas Tech at 2 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks are happy to be coming off a huge victory instead of what would have been a disappointing defeat.

“It’s a good win and will be a good win at the end of the season. Baylor’s a good team,” Self said.

“We are a close-knit team,” assessed Greene.

“It’s one of the reasons I feel we pulled out this game, the experience we had in past games. It’s been an up and down season for us, at times not the greatest for us. What is so special about this team is this year we’ve been put in situations we’ve had to come out on top, and that’s what we’ve done.”

NOTEBOOK

Cleveland prep Bragg to announce pick today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Waco, Texas — Today is Decision Day for bluechip basketball prospect Carlton Bragg, who will announce for either Kansas University, Kentucky or Illinois at 1:45 p.m.

Central time at Cleveland’s Villa Angela-St. Joseph High.

Bragg, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound senior power forward who is ranked No. 14 nationally by Rivals.com, will attend a reception in the school’s Ministry Center, where he, coach Babe Kwasniak and others are expected to make brief comments.

The decision is slated to be revealed at the twitter handle @realchalktalk shortly after the 1:45 p.m. announcement is made. David Cassilo of Cleveland.com wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that the website plans a livestream of the event.

His Twitter handle is @ dcassilo.

KU appears to be in good shape to land Bragg.

A pair of recruiting analysts — Jerry Meyer of 247Sports.com, and Evan Daniels of scout.com — have cited the Jayhawks as the favorites.

Bragg, who attended KU’s Late Night in the Phog on an official recruiting trip, was named second team Division III All-Ohio in 2014 after averaging 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game and helping the Vikings reach the state championship game. This season, he’s averaging more than 20 points and 8 rebounds per game for the Vikings, who are off to a 7-0 start with wins over national powers Archbishop Carroll and Arlington Country Day.

The four-year starter also has been named all-conference and alldistrict multiple times.

He helped VASJ to a 2013 Div. IV state title in 2013 and runner-up finish a year ago.

He previously had UCLA and Arizona on his list of five.

“I have taken my visits and Bragg I am ready to make the big decision. This will allow me to devote all my attention to winning a state championship at Villa Angela-St. Joseph,” Bragg told ESPN.com.

Last week, Kentucky coach John Calipari and U of I assistant Dustin Ford watched Bragg at the Cancer Research Classic in Wheeling, West Virginia. KU’s Bill Self and Norm Roberts had to cancel a planned trip because of weather concerns.

It’s said Bragg would like to be part of a package deal with No. 2-rated Jaylen Brown, a 6-7 senior from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia; and No. 18 Brandon Ingram, 6-8 from Kinston (North Carolina) High. Both are also considering KU and Kentucky.

Bragg received scholarship offers from more than 20 schools, including Indiana, Texas, Michigan State, UConn, Louisville, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.

summer and he didn’t smh (shake my head),” Embiid Tweeted, referring to LeBron James.

James did not play in the game.

In July, Embiid Tweeted to James: “Hey bro hope you’re having a good day ... Want to join us in philly? Peace.” l

Malik to visit KU: No. 3-rated Malik Newman, a 6-3, 180-pound senior from Callaway High in Jackson, Mississippi wrote in his USA Today blog this week: “I’m taking a visit to Ohio State on Jan. 24-26. That’s the only visit that has a date attached to it, but I’ll also be visiting N.C. State, Kentucky and Kansas. I don’t know about the dates right now on those. I haven’t cut my list or anything and that doesn’t mean those schools are my top four or anything like that; they’re just the schools that I’m going to visit for now. I still like other schools, too.

“People always ask me what I like about the different schools and, honestly, I pretty much like the same things about all of them. All of the schools recruiting me are great looks!” l

More Embiid humor: Former KU center Joel Embiid took to Twitter after his Philadelphia 76ers beat Cleveland on Monday. “I told him to sign with us back in the

Dorsey on fire: No. 19-ranked Tyler Dorsey, a 6-4 senior from Maranatha High in Pasadena, California, is averaging 28.1 points, 8.9 boards and 4.8 assists per game through nine games. He had 40 points on Monday in a win over Diamond Ranch of Diamond Bar, California. He hit 11 of 16 shots and 21 free throws.

He is considering KU, Cal, Colorado, Arizona State, Oregon and UConn.

times in Wednesday’s victory over Baylor, Graham reacts as if he can feel the contact.

“Those are the moments where you just gasp,” Graham said.

“Because we don’t really have another point guard.”

Except the Jayhawks do. And if things continue to go the way the way they have during Graham’s rehab thus far, don’t be surprised if you see him out there again sometime in the next week. At this point, Graham seems as excited about that idea for Mason as he is for himself.

“I know he’s tired,” Graham said of his doeverything teammate.

“He does a lot for our team. I wish I could play.

I feel pretty good. Maybe the next game. Maybe the game after that.”

Maybe.

And can you imagine what a difference adding another ball-handler and scorer who can help keep Mason fresh will make for a team that kicked off its run toward an 11th consecutive Big 12 title with a gritty and gutsy road win will make?

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Wife becomes clingy after years of disinterest Dear Annie: Twelve years ago, I married my best friend, lover and the woman I believed to be my partner for life. Before we married, my wife and I were physically active: hiking, biking, skiing, rollerblading, you name it. We enjoyed movies, plays, board games and talking for hours. We also had a fantastic sex life.

Seven years ago, all of that began to change. She lost interest in outdoor activities and board games.

Hours of talking have been replaced with hours in front of the TV or staring into our cellphones and computers. Our sex life became nearly nonexistent. We’ve both put on a little weight, but for me, it’s 10 pounds, and for my wife, it’s 40. I still think she’s

incredibly sexy and tell her so. I have maintained a regular fitness regimen and a few years ago started competing in triathlons. My wife views this as encroaching on our social life.

I love my wife, but I’m no longer in love with her the way I once was. Not long ago, we had a heartto-heart, and I said I no longer wanted to be married to her and told

‘Babylon’ offers smart cop comedy Is James Nesbitt this year’s Steve Buscemi? Both men prove that character actors with nonHollywood faces can make the best leading men. Fresh from “The Missing,” Nesbitt co-stars in “Babylon” (8 p.m., Sundance), produced and created

by Danny Boyle (“Slumdog Millionaire”).

A farcical take on the internal politics of London’s police force, “Babylon” stars Brit Marling as Liz Garvey, the newly h i r e d and very American director of communications.

Her job is to keep the old-school Commissioner Richard Miller (Nesbitt) “on message” and out of trouble.

The series offers a dizzying and disturbing glance at police politics and the absurdity of image management in an era of an aggressive tabloid press and voracious social media. “Babylon” has some of the dark comedy tones of the slap-sticky “Veep,” but it also has the kinetic energy and explosive violence that Boyle brought to “28 Days Later.”

In an early scene, we see three officials of a private prison reviewing video of a chaotic inmate melee while parsing the difference between “riot” and “disturbance.” This delicate minuet of spin takes on odious overtones as the non-“riot” explodes out of control.

Other shows would be content to leave Liz as a two-dimensional type, but not “Babylon.”

For all of her brash confidence, she’s desperately lonely and friendless in a foreign land whose shared language only accentuates her many misunderstandings. Worse, she socializes with underlings, a fatal faux pas in a society defined by class and status. This makes her an object of pity among those she deigned to befriend.

Smart and funny, “Babylon” differs from police comedies and political satires because there are real issues, and lives, at stake. And that makes it much more compelling.

Tonight’s other highlights l Jennifer Lawrence stars in the 2012 thriller “House at the End of the Street” (7 p.m., CW). l The family gathers around Zeke’s hospital bed on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). l “Alaska: Battle on the Bay” (9 p.m., Animal Planet) becomes the latest series about fishing in Arctic waters.

BIRTHDAYS Game show host Bob Eubanks is 77. Actress Yvette Mimieux is 73. Physicist Stephen Hawking is 73. Rock musician Robby Krieger (The Doors) is 69. Rock singer David Bowie is 68. Actress Michelle Forbes is 50. Singer R. Kelly is 48. Reggae singer Sean Paul is 42.

her why. She responded by telling me she recognized that I had been pulling away and understood why. She said she wished things could be different, but she would move forward.

Since “the talk,” my wife has been extremely clingy and insecure, wanting to know my whereabouts and activities at all times.

Where I suffered sexual frustration in silence for years, my wife is now quite vocal about having her sexual needs met.

Annie, I can’t manufacture feelings for her, sexual or otherwise, and I am still leaning toward the exit. I feel staying is dishonest, but leaving means I’m not giving our relationship a chance. What do I do? — Crossroads in California

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Jan. 8,: This year you will experience many changes in your daily life.

You have the spirit to not let this situation bother you, and you have what it takes to cruise right by it.

You will have a tendency to swallow your feelings and withdraw.

Make it OK to express your lesspleasant feelings, and you will feel better. If you are single, you could meet someone very special from August on. If you are attached, the two of you seem to have a psychic connection. Plan a special time away where you can enjoy the intensity that exists between you.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHHH Someone close to you will push hard to achieve what he or she wants. Tonight: A chat is inevitable.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your imagination seems to be going haywire. Tonight: Let loved ones know how much you care.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone’s temper might encourage you to retreat later in the day. Tonight: Remain secure.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll want to focus on completing an important project.

Tonight: Invite a loved one to join you for dinner.

Dear Crossroads: Your wife doesn’t want you to leave. That is why she is clingy, insecure and demanding more sex. In the past seven years, you have gradually become disillusioned with your married life, but you only told your wife about it recently. You haven’t given her the time to work on it. Instead of looking for a justification to leave, please get into counseling with your wife.

See whether you can find the “best friend” and “partner for life” you married. It’s not too late.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by everything that is going on. Tonight: Buy a gift.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH If a family member appears to be closed-off, give him or her some space. Tonight: As you like it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might need to take a walk and commit to saying nothing for now. Tonight: Let off some steam.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH If you can keep your eye on the big picture, you will land perfectly. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. Tonight: Make it an early night.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH If you feel depressed or unhappy, share your feelings.

Tonight: Get ready for some TV binging.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others will demonstrate their caring, but not in the way you might expect. Tonight: Out late.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You’ll be more prone to getting the flu and other such ailments. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.
