Details of Obama visit to Lawrence announced

Dr. King remembered across Lawrence

MEMBERS OF THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY from across the United States marched with hundreds of others Monday from Kansas University’s Strong Hall to the Kansas Union. In the front row, from left, are Kareem Wall, Elden Mitchell, DeVante Green and Adam Khalil. The march was one of several events Monday in Lawrence in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Events honor legacy of civil rights icon

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Carmaletta Williams was too young to walk with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a march, but now the “too-old-to-announce” grandmother seizes every opportunity to participate in socially conscious events like Kansas University’s candlelight vigil in honor of the civil rights icon.

“I’m here for my children and my grandchildren,” she said. “They need to see me be active.”

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Williams and around 125 people gathered Monday evening in the rotunda of KU’s Strong Hall. A university a cappella group began the ceremony with several songs before members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity addressed the crowd on the day’s significance.

Attendees slowly shuffled through the hall’s front door where they were handed a lit candle, and, in groups of three, they slowly marched east to the Kansas Union, singing along the way.

Among the singing masses were Leticia Garcia, her two sons, Julian and Diego, and their family friend Ellington Presley.

Earthquakes linked to fracking process strike in Kansas again

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

South-central Kansas and northern Oklahoma on Sunday and Monday experienced a second batch of earthquakes in four days with magnitudes reaching as high as 3.9 and 4.1.

Nine earthquakes shook

the area over a 24-hour period ending Monday, and on Thursday, eight earthquakes had rattled the region.

No injuries have been reported and it’s unknown how much property was damaged.

Scientists have determined the quakes that are afflicting that region

that is used in a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to extract oil and natural gas.

During fracking, operators use a mixture of saltwater and chemicals to break tight underground rock formations to release oil and gas. To get rid of Please see QUAKES, page 2A

Rep. Tom Sloan acknowledged the many earthquakes over the past several days, but he believes an answer to disposing of the fracking waste water is close. To shut down fracking would have a detrimental impact on the state’s economy, he said.

Topeka prison working to improve safety Topeka — The Topeka Correctional Facility has increased security and added staff to prevent the sexual abuse of female inmates by corrections officers and other inmates, according to Warden Hope Cooper.

A federal investigation in 2012 confirmed state reports that sexual misconduct and abuse of inmates was rampant at the prison.

On Jan. 9, the U.S. Department of Justice and the state announced a settlement that required several steps the prison must take in response to the allegations.

Having a woman leading

the prison has helped alleviate the problems, Cooper said, and the supervisor who will oversee implementation of the agreement between the Justice Department and state is also a woman.

More than 300 securities cameras have been added to the prison, bringing the total to 449 compared with 120 in 2009. The prison also has added a video monitoring room and increased access to the cameras.

The prison now has 260 staff, with 179 corrections officers — an increase of 24 officers in the last two years, she said.

the water after the fracking process, operators inject the water deep into disposal wells.

Several states, cities and counties have issued fracking bans or moratoriums or are considering them.

The Kansas Sierra Club already supports a bill, not yet introduced, to impose a moratorium on fracking to give the oil and gas industry time to develop a solution to the saltwater disposal issue, said Joe Spease, chairman of the Kansas Sierra Club’s fracking committee and owner of a renewable energy company in Overland Park.

But in light of the number of earthquakes during the past four days, Spease said on Monday that a moratorium needs to happen quickly. “We are feeling these quakes as far north as Nebraska,� Spease said. “We are not asking for something unreasonable. Protecting the people is not unreasonable.�

But Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, who is a member of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Electricity Advisory Committee and several other federal energy committees and task forces, disagreed.

Sloan acknowledged the many earthquakes over the past several days, but he believes an answer to disposing of the fracking waste water is close.

To shut down fracking would have a detrimental impact on the state’s economy, he said. “The world economy runs on fossil fuels,� he said. “The U.S. economy runs on fossil fuels. We have to be responsible and protect people’s lives, but at the same time there are no risk-free alternatives.

There are no answers that will satisfy everyone.�

Meanwhile the U.S. Geological Survey, in a nod to the risk from the earthquakes, will for the first time include manmade earthquake data with its National Seismic Hazard Map, Morgan Moschetti, research geophysicist with the National Seismic Hazard Project in Golden, Colo., said Monday.

The USGS develops the seismic provisions that go into the International Building Codes, a model that many local and state governments adopt or use as guidelines to ensure buildings and houses are erected to certain standards so they are not considered hazardous.

The data will allow builders to know how many earthquakes may occur in a given region, how often they will occur and their strength so the buildings can be constructed to withstand them.

People will have to adapt to the changes earthquakes bring, at least for the time being. “It is a new phenomenon,� Moschetti said. — Investigative reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or at 382-7162.

If so, a halt. who should pay for Rep. Gail Finney, a them?

Wichita Democrat, and Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, have Asked at the pushed measures that Lawrence Public Library would require agencies to outfit their officers with the cameras. The proposals follow the August shooting death of an unarmed 18-year-old by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., which

“

I think we potentially could be a Ferguson if we don’t address this.”

— Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita sparked sometimes-violent protests, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Wichita has experienced a number of officer-involved shootings, Finney said, including an incident earlier this month in which police shot and killed a man who they said acted belligerently and reached into his waistband during an encounter with officers.

“I think we potentially could be a Ferguson if we don’t address this,”

Finney said.

Her bill likely will be considered by the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, whose chairman, Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican, said he supports the concept of body cameras.

The cameras, which can cost hundreds of dollars each, can protect citizens from police overreach but also can help clear officers wrongly accused of brutality or act-

ing inappropriately, Rubin said.

But efforts to require the cameras statewide face practical challenges, Rubin said, including his reluctance to require police to buy cameras without providing funding.

“But as with so much of what we do up here, it’s the details that matter, and I am also quite sensitive, actually concerned, about the state providing another unfunded mandate for local law enforcement,” Rubin said.

Finney’s bill calls on law enforcement agencies to seek out grants from federal and private sources to pay for the cameras.

taxes are deductible the following year on federal tax returns.

But Shawn Sullivan, the governor’s budget director, defended the proposals last week, arguing that people have more power to control how much they pay in sales and consumption taxes because they have the option of deciding how much to spend on retail sales and whether or not they drink or smoke.

While Lawrence-area Democrats were ready to attack the governor’s tax proposal Sunday night, the Democratic caucus in the Legislature so far has not issued a formal response to the governor’s budget.

In a joint statement released Friday, House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, and Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said: “At first glance, there are several components of Governor Brownback’s budget proposal that give us concern, but we will review it carefully and provide official comment when the Legislature recon• Commercial, Industrial, and Residential Lighting • Beautiful, Energy Saving LED Lights • Low Cost and Wide Selection • Factory Direct, Locally Owned • Free Consultation and Free Estimates

Some Kansas police departments already are moving toward use of the cameras.

The Wichita Police Department plans to greatly increase the number of cameras it uses after an August community meeting following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

Topeka police are expected to receive up to 30 new body cameras during the next five years after Security Benefit Corp. donated $75,000 toward the purchases in July.

Riley County police and Kansas State University campus police also said this fall they were implementing body cameras.

venes next week.”

Sunday’s event helped highlight the stark political contrast between Douglas County and most of the rest of the state. Because while Democrats hold the bulk of all the political offices in Douglas County — three of the five state House seats; both state Senate seats; two out of three County Commission seats and most of the countywide elected offices — in the Legislature, they hold the fewest seats they have held in more than half a century.

As a result, much of the conversation at Frank’s North Star Tavern Sunday centered on the future of the Kansas Democratic Party which, in addition

About 9,800 ballots have been returned for the Lawrence school district’s mailballot election to keep its local option budget at 33 percent.

According to an online infographic created and updated by the Douglas County clerk’s office, that amounts to an 18 percent turnout so far.

Voters have until noon Jan. 27 to return SCHOOLS their ballots to the office at 1100 Massachusetts St. Over 53,000 ballots were sent out to registered voters living with the school district’s boundaries.

County clerk Jamie Shew has said it is the first mail-ballot election in Douglas County’s history.

A local option budget is funding that is raised by local property taxes for school districts. The size of a district’s local option budget can be no larger than 33 percent of its general operating fund. But by state law, districts need voter approval to keep it at 33 percent indefinitely.

Should the election fail, Lawrence’s local option budget would fall to 31 percent, costing the district about $1.4 million in funding.

STATE OF THE UNION

Obama, GOP clash ahead of address

By Matt Fuller and Humberto Sanchez CQ-Roll Call (TNS)

Washington — A revitalized President Barack Obama and newly empowered Republican leaders are heading into today’s State of the Union address on a collision course. At their joint retreat in Hershey, Pa., Republicans — fresh off triumphant midterm elections — said they are looking for the president to become a legislating partner — even as they promise bold, or even quixotic, clashes with Obama.

But Obama has been on offense, pushing a bolder agenda while raining down veto threats on the new Congress. And even if many of his initiatives seem destined to become legislative cannon fodder, his pen-and-phone agenda has been in hyperdrive, most notably with his temporary executive amnesty for millions of immigrants.

Obama’s poll numbers have been buoyed in recent weeks amid signs of an improving economy, with the president looking to build momentum heading into what he calls the “fourth quarter” of his presidency.

“America’s resurgence is real. Our job now is to make sure that every American feels that they’re a part of our country’s comeback,” he said in his radio address previewing the speech, adding Congress should join him and stop the “games.”

Obama’s agenda, headlined by a push for free community college and middle-class tax cuts paid

It’s effectively a dare to Republicans to side with the rich or come to the table on fighting income inequality. Either Obama gets an unlikely win or Democrats get campaign talking points for 2016.

Republican leaders have generally panned Obama’s policy rollout, but they are holding out hope for deals on trade, transportation and a tax overhaul later this year and are hopeful he’ll send signals Tuesday that he’s ready to meet them in the middle.

Republicans — whose retreat featured speakers like comedian Jay Leno, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, columnist Peggy Noonan and pollster Frank Luntz — seemed to be angling for a return to the deal-making 1990s, when Bill Clinton worked with the GOP after they took over Congress.

2015 Presidential Lecture Series: The First Woman President 2.0 With attention turning toward the next presidential race, we look at an issue we first addressed nine years ago: will the U.S. elect its first woman president? What unique challenges must women overcome to rise through the ranks to some of the highest positions in public service, politics, and business or to be President of the United States?

Following the historic election of our first African-American President in 2008, we update the Dole Institute’s 2006 series on women in leadership and look at this possibility for 2016.

Promising start Local business and education officials are putting together a promising partnership to boost the community’s vocational and technical training needs.

T

he Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center has taken another step toward building a strong job training hub near 31st Street and Haskell Avenue.

On Friday, it was announced that the Lawrence Workforce Center had signed a deal to lease space at the Peaslee Center and move its operation from its current location on South Iowa Street. The Workforce Center will provide services that complement the training mission of the Peaslee Center and its lease will provide additional income to fund the Peaslee operation. The Workforce Center plans to lease about 5,000 square feet of the 77,000-square-foot building at 2920 Haskell Ave. The Workforce Center provides career counseling and assistance to people who want to change careers and may need some technical training to make that shift. That fits perfectly with the mission of the Peaslee Center, which plans to provide technical training to help support local employees and employers. Organizers hope to start remodeling the former Honeywell Avionics building in March and start offering classes in August. Initial programs will focus on manufacturing technology, automotive technology and construction trades.

Also contributing to this mix is the Lawrence school district’s new College and Career Center, under construction next to the Peaslee Center. The school district’s facility will focus on technical training for high school students, while the Peaslee Center will focus on post-high school training. The Workforce Center provides free services to job seekers and works directly with employers to host job fairs and provide other services.

The Lawrence chamber of commerce and other local officials have been working hard in recent years to develop a long-needed vocational-technical training facility in Lawrence. The partnership of the Peaslee Center, the school district and now the Workforce Center has gotten that effort off to a promising start.

Latin America economies struggle Economists have been predicting for several months that Latin America will have a so-so year in 2015, but new projections from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund suggest that it may be worse than originally expected.

That’s bad news, because economic forecasts from the World Bank and the IMF — and even to a greater extent those from the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) — tend to be much more optimistic than those of leading private economists. When these international institutions lower their economic forecasts, it’s time to worry.

The World Bank earlier this week reduced its growth projection for the region in 2015 from its previous estimate of 2.9 percent to 1.7 percent. The IMF is expected to cut it from 2.2 percent to 1.5 percent when it announces its annual forecasts next week.

Both international institutions cite falling prices of Latin American commodity exports — mainly oil, minerals and soybeans — among the major causes behind the region’s low growth.

Marcelo Giugale, one of the World Bank’s top economists, says that “with luck, this will be a mediocre year for the region.” In addition to low international commodity prices, many countries in the region will be affected by a near-stagnant economy in Brazil, South America’s economic engine, he said.

Alejandro Werner, the

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Among Latin America’s worstperforming economies in 2015 will be Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, the region’s biggest commodity exporters.”

IMF’s director for the Americas, told me in a separate interview that 2015 will be very similar to 2014 for Latin America. And 2014 was already the worst year for the region in 12 years, with the exception of 2009, he said.

But both international financial institutions agree that the region will grow at different speeds: Oil importing countries in Central America and the Caribbean will grow much faster than commodity exporters in South America.

Mexico, an oil exporter that has a diversified economy, will be somewhere in the middle, they say.

Among Latin America’s worst-performing economies in 2015 will be Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, the region’s biggest commodity exporters.

Venezuela, which relies on oil for 96 percent of its overall exports, is expected to have a negative growth rate of 2 percent this year, according to the World Bank. Private banks expect Venezuela’s economy to drop to up to 4 percent negative growth. Venezuela has the world’s highest inflation rate, projected at 70 percent for 2015.

Argentina’s economy will contract by 0.3 percent, and Brazil’s economy will grow by just 1 percent, the World Bank’s forecasts show. According to projections by Goldman Sachs and other private firms, Brazil’s economy will grow by 0.7 percent this year.

Among the countries that will perform best in the region this year, Panama will grow by 6.1 percent, the Dominican Republic by 4.9 percent, Peru by 4.8 percent, Colombia by 4.4 percent and Mexico by 3.3 percent, the World Bank says.

In addition to relying less on commodity exports than others, most of these countries are major exporters to the United States, the world’s biggest economy, which is rapidly emerging from its 2008 crisis, the World Bank and the IMF say.

My opinion: Judging from the World Bank, IMF and ECLAC economic projections in recent years, it wouldn’t be surprising if even their latest projections err on the side of optimism.

It’s time for Latin America to adopt a new economic growth agenda. Rather than

continuing to cruise on automatic pilot, relying almost exclusively on raw material and basic manufacture exports, the region should bet heavily on quality education, innovation and global integration in order to sell more expensive goods to the world’s biggest markets.

Instead of holding constant summits that invariably end up with empty declarations of brotherly love and regional integration, Latin American countries should try to jointly negotiate trade accords with the United States, the European Union and Asia. Today, Latin America accounts for only 5 percent of world merchandise trade: if it doesn’t join bigger trade blocs, it will remain a poor countries’ club.

And, just as importantly, Latin America should improve its dismal education and innovation standards.

Today, it ranks at the bottom of the list in international PISA tests of 15-year-old students, and all Latin American countries together register less than 10 percent of the patents of new inventions that are filed annually by just one Asian country — South Korea — before the World Intellectual Property Organization.

It’s high time for the region to do what Asian countries have being doing for a long time: set aside outdated ideological prejudices and insert itself in the global knowledge economy.

Community college a good investment

By John M. Crisp Tribune News Service

President Obama’s announcement of his proposal to provide free tuition for 9 million community college students coincides with the start of the spring semester at the community college where I’ve been teaching for 27 years.

Naturally, this proposal is of interest to me and my colleagues, as well as to our students, many of whom struggle each semester to scrape together enough money for tuition, fees, books and living expenses.

The details of Obama’s proposal haven’t been worked out entirely. It’s more concept than concrete plan, but the rough numbers include a price tag of around $60 billion over the next ten years.

Six billion dollars a year sounds like a lot. On the other hand, CBS News reports that Americans spent $56 billion on their pets in 2013 alone.

In fact, I suspect that the prospects for the president’s proposal depend on issues that are more philosophical than fiscal. We nearly always find the money for things that we want. Extending education to more students isn’t as much a matter of how much it will cost as of who will be responsible for paying for it.

Sometimes the obvious is worth restating: Whether Americans have really become more conservative or not, the rhetoric of our politics definitely has. It appeals to our sense of personal responsibility and, on the flip side, it capitalizes on our innate sense of shame for getting something for nothing.

Accordingly, conservative critics of Obama’s community college plan sniff dismissively that there’s no such thing

“

I suspect that the prospects for the president’s proposal depend on issues that are more philosophical than fiscal. We nearly always find the money for things that we want.”

as “free college.” I suspect, however, that few people, after a moment’s reflection, believe that there is.

But for the last couple of decades the story of colleges and universities has been a tale of diminishing state support and an associated shift in the burden of the cost of college onto students.

And why not? Students are the ones who benefit from their enhanced educations, and they’ll be compensated with higher lifetime incomes, making the average student debt of nearly $30,000 seem not so terrible.

But this line of reasoning ignores several things. The first is the public good that develops when more citizens are better educated. They become more productive, much more likely to be assets to our society, rather than encumbrances.

This is why I, childless, don’t mind paying taxes for your children to attend public schools. If more students are educated at community colleges, all of us — you, me, they, the economy, everyone — will be better off.

Second, resistance to the president’s proposal doesn’t take sufficiently into account how challenging the acquisition of a college education can be. Besides their tuition, books and fees, most college students pay a significant price in time, energy and the lost wages that

they might have earned had they not been in school. Even if tuition is “free,” students will not be freeloading.

Finally, what goes on at community colleges shouldn’t be confused with the negative — and probably false — stereotypes often attached to four-year colleges and universities and their students. Indulge a little generalizing: For the most part, community colleges don’t have the frills associated with four-year colleges and universities, no cushy dorms and fancy dining halls, no climbing walls, football teams or fraternities. As a rule, community college students are older — the average age at my college is around 27 — and many are intently focused on developing and enhancing practical skills that they will take back into the workforce. These students know what they want and are willing to work hard to get it.

But community colleges are also good places for many younger students who don’t have the academic backgrounds or resources to go to more expensive fouryear institutions, but who still have plenty of brainpower and initiative. In short, community colleges are forced to be flexible and resilient, to meet practical, local needs, as well as the aspirations of capable students who might otherwise fall between the academic cracks.

In general, community colleges respond well to these challenging tasks.

Obama’s proposal to make them more accessible and affordable shouldn’t be derailed by ideology. “Free” tuition is an excellent investment in everyone’s future.

Leticia Garcia said she wanted to bring her children to the vigil to help acknowledge King’s dream. “(Martin Luther King Day) is about when we celebrate his life and what he did for America,” Julian Garcia said.

Just as important as the celebration is the work yet to be done, Leticia Garcia said.

“I want my children to see the progress that has been made, but also how they can be agents of change, too,” she said.

“And they can follow in Martin Luther King’s steps to make a difference.”

At the Lawrence Public Library, another group of people were striving to make a difference during the holiday. Through a partnership with United

Overnight camping will not be allowed on the premises at any time leading up to the event, the White House said.

Meanwhile, KU classes will go on, though parking around Anschutz will be restricted from Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon.

Obama is scheduled to arrive in Lawrence Wednesday night and de-

part Thursday afternoon, according to the White House. Obama will fly in and out of Topeka, although Air Force One’s arrival and departure are not open to the public.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s press secretary Eileen Hawley confirmed the governor will greet Obama when he arrives in Topeka on Wednesday night. But Brownback will not attend Obama’s speech at KU, Hawley said, because he has a previous commitment to attend the annual Kansans for Life rally marking the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.

Way, the library hosted a service day. There, volunteers crafted scarves and Valentine’s Day cards throughout the day.

The scarves will be donated, along with hats and gloves, to Lawrence families in need, while the cards will be given to home-bound seniors on Valentine’s Day to remind them they’re not alone, said Jeni Daley, the library’s Marketing Coordinator.

“We’re one of the few community organizations that are open on Martin Luther King Day, and we felt it was important to take advantage of that and represent the things he would have wanted,” Daley said.

Along with the volunteer activities, the library also addressed civil rights issues with programs like “Speak Up” and “We are the Solution,” Daley said.

Throughout the afternoon, discussions were

held on racism in today’s society, how it can affect younger generations and how to speak out against discrimination.

During a day dedicated to celebration, remembrance and awareness, Leticia Garcia said she hopes the events make an impact on her children.

“There is power in education, especially with people of color,” she said.

“I want my children to embrace and understand how they can create change.”

Whether for her children, her grandchildren or the children of others, Williams said it’s important to understand the history behind the civil rights movements, but it’s also important to understand the movement continues to this day.

“They need to know it’s not too late, it’s not just history, it’s all ongoing, it’s active, it’s dynamic,” she said.

The White House said there would be “several thousand” tickets available but did not say exactly how many. A portion will be set aside for KU students, faculty and staff and another portion for the public, so both groups will be represented, according to the White House.

The number does not depend on seats, though: At Anschutz there will be no chairs, KU announced.

Attendees should be prepared to stand for the duration of the event.

While KU has a number of large venues on campus, the White House determined that Anschutz would work best for Thursday’s event, said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for KU. Anschutz, the indoor practice facility for many KU sports teams, is located at 1575 Irving Hill Road, next to Allen Fieldhouse.

The 40,000-square-foot sports pavilion has an 80-yard turf football field surrounded by a track, according to KU Athletics.

Martin said the university was working closely with the White House and the Secret Service on logistics and security for Obama’s visit.

“The White House and Secret Service do quite a few of these sorts of events all around the country, and we are happy to be able to work with them to host the president here,” Martin said.

Setting goals big and small can help turn life around

By Michelle Tevis

oanne Renfro set a goal for herself that involved a long walk. A 2,180-mile walk.

Renfro, an artist who lives in Lawrence, had always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail, one of the longest continuously marked footpaths in the world.

It goes through 14 states along the Appalachian mountain range, running from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Katahdin, Maine.

Her experience, which she detailed during a standingroom only presentation this month at the Lawrence Public Library, was a physical and mental challenge that she had been determined for years to tackle. “I don’t want to have regrets about the things I wanted to do but didn’t,� Renfro said.

But setting physical and mental goals, in the new year or at any time of the year, doesn’t require epic hikes and grueling activities. For many, just going for a walk can be a definitive goal that sets their life in a new direction.

Stephen Ilardi, professor of clinical psychology at Kansas University, explores lifestylebased intervention to combat clinical depression and other psychological disorders, He has years of experience running a 12-week Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes program at KU, which helps treat and prevent clinical Contributed Photo depression and psychological JOANNE RENFRO, OF LAWRENCE, HIKES THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL, one of the longest continuously disorders through exercise and marked footpaths in the world. Whether you’re hiking cross-country or walking 30 minutes a day, research shows that setting goals for physical activity can improve your mental health.

Educators should rethink group projects Kyra: This week we continue our series on things we’d like schools to do differently by tackling the infamous group project.

For anxious, studious kids like me, the term “group project� means “one-person project that is more burdensome than a normal project and requires giving credit to three other people who didn’t share in that burden at all.�

Throughout my school career, when teachers assign group projects, they divide the groups in such a way as to “even the score� among students. For me, that’s always meant being coupled with the girl who comes to class twice a month or the guy who is too stoned to be of any assistance. If someone complains, the teacher explains that, in the “real world,� people collaborate, so we need to get used to it. Call me an optimist, but I like to believe that if I work hard, I can collaborate in that “real world� with people who care enough to do their jobs.

Unfortunately, the remedies I suggest go against the very reasons teachers assign group projects. They include: l Grade each student individually. Too often one group member must complete another’s incomplete assignment the night before it’s due. Grading each student individually makes it more difficult for teachers to inflate the grades of a failing student by averaging her grade in with the group’s. l Let kids choose groups. Of course this raises the issue of exclusion; however, in the “real world,� people who try to piggyback off others’ accomplishments often find themselves excluded. l Listen. Not every student who voices his concerns about a project does so to get out of work or harm the grade of another. By

BRIEFLY Brownback plans health care changes Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback is trying to reorganize the licensing of foster care homes and the state workers who determine whether people are eligible for Medicaid.

Brownback issued an executive order last week to move foster home licensing to the state Department for Children and Families from the Department of Health and Environment, as of July.

DCF already oversees child welfare services.

The order also moves the Medicaid workers from DCF to KDHE in January 2016.

The governor must let legislators consider the order, but if neither the House nor the Senate rejects it by midMarch, it will take effect.

Brownback says the changes will streamline both programs.

Booking a doctor visit? Know the signs of atrial fibrillation There’s an app for that

By Aynsley Anderson

Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Trenton, N.J. (ap) — It’s like OpenTable for medical appointments.

Online services such as ZocDoc and InQuicker are enabling patients with non-life-threatening conditions to schedule everything from doctor’s office visits to emergency room trips on their laptops and smartphones — much like OpenTable users do with restaurant reservations.

Hospitals and doctors increasingly are subscribing to the services to simplify appointment scheduling for patients.

With most of the services, booking is as simple as going to a website, entering a ZIP code and the kind of care needed and checking available times. Patients can

get a doctor appointment within a couple of days, even if they’re a new patient. And the services say most patients are seen within 15 to 20 minutes of their appointment, and when an ER backs up, patients are texted to come later.

Doctors and hospitals say the services help attract new patients.

At Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital outside Chicago, assistant ER director Dr. Steve Edelstein says ER Express sends about 40 patients a month to his ER and the hospital’s nearby Grayslake Emergency Center.

A quarter are new patients. “It’s been nothing but a benefit,� Edelstein says.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a quivering or fluttering of the heart or an irregular heartbeat that affects 2.7 million Americans. It is the most common form of abnormal heart rhythm. Knowing the symptoms and treatment options for AF can help you address an issue before it’s too late.

People with AF are four to five times more likely to experience a stroke. Some estimates are that 15 to 20 percent of all strokes are attributable to AF. As a result of an irregular heartbeat, blood can pool in the heart, which leads to clots. These clots can be carried through the bloodstream to the brain, where they can in-

terrupt blood flow, causing a stroke. Though AF can occur at any age, the incidence doubles each decade after the age of 55.

What causes AF? Atrial fibrillation is associated with many conditions, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, previous heart surgery, chronic lung disease and heart failure.

The tricky thing about AF is that many of the signs of AF are similar to those of a heart attack.

The American Heart Association notes that the key difference is the

palpitations or fluttering that can sometimes indicate AF. Sometimes people with AF have no symptoms and their condition is only detectable upon physical examination. Still, others may experience symptoms such as fatigue, fluttering or thumping in the chest, dizziness, shortness of breath, anxiety, weakness, faintness, sweating and chest pain or pressure.

It is important to note that chest pain or pressure may be a sign of a heart attack. Call 911 immediately if you are experiencing chest pain or pressure.

Treatment for AF may require very minimal treatment or lifestyle changes, medications or a Please see LMH, page 2B

other modifications.

His patients aren’t hiking the Appalachian Trail, but they’re often finding that making small changes can have big effects.

“As we’re finding in medicine more broadly, the way we live has a profound influence on what our bodies and brains are doing,” Ilardi said.

Getting people to take that first step makes sense when most people think about it; we know we will probably feel better if we are more active. But actually doing it can be a challenge, even though the benefits to both physical and mental well-being are well-documented and have been shown to improve our neurochemistry, Ilardi said.

“It doesn’t take a lot of physical activity to change brain function; we’re talking about brisk walking for 30 minutes three times a week,” he said. “That has an anti-depressive effect for many people at least.”

Renfro took her brisk walks and dialed them up a notch: She prepared for her hike by filling her pack to about 30 pounds and walking in her neighborhood.

She runs and works out and is relatively fit in everyday life, she said, but she used the trail as her ultimate training ground.

“Hiking for eight to 10 hours a day up and down mountains gets you in the best shape of your life, for sure,” she said.

What Renfro did, though, resonates with all of us regardless of our goals, Ilardi said. She used her situation to help her find the willpower to keep moving. She took the leap and got on the trail, putting one foot in front of the other. And it isn’t just the hike that brings about a

assigning group projects so that one person ends up haphazardly balancing the work of three or four on his shoulders, teachers crush true collaboration and make kids groan.

Wes: Well, now we know how to really get Kyra going. But her points are all well taken.

I’ve heard them hundreds of times over the years from students from grade school to college.

There’s a good reason that the book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” (Susan Cain, 2013) was a New York Times best-seller. In fact, I first heard about it from a student at Kyra’s school who was sick of group projects.

benefit. Just being outside has a therapeutic affect, Ilardi said.

“She wasn’t just getting the benefit of the exercise, but also the immersion in nature, which we know has an array of other physical and psychological benefits.”

Renfro definitely recognized the role natural beauty played in helping her push herself during her hike. “There is so much to see around you, and the terrain is always changing, that it keeps your mind from dwelling on the little aches and pains,” she said.

“Basically, you learn that if you push through being tired, that there is a whole lot more in the tank than you thought there was.”

Ilardi admits there’s no magic pill that replicates the benefits of regular activity, a change of scenery and a healthy diet. If there were, pharmaceutical companies would already be doing it. “People would pay anything for it; the effects are that profound,” he said.

What he does recommend is getting help.

“Investing in a personal trainer for most people will be the single best investment they’ve ever made,” he said. “Because they don’t have the willpower, if they’re not physically active right now, without some help from someone, they probably aren’t going to have the willpower to make it the kind of habit that’s going to be self-sustaining.”

Renfro’s advice for someone trying to reach a goal, whatever it may be: Do what needs to be done to make it happen. “We all have obligations and busy lives and such, and we can use that as our excuse for not going after those goals because it may seem irresponsible or frivolous,” she said. “Besides raising my kids of course, this was absolutely the most amazing, life-changing experience ever.” falls on the introverted side of the bell curve, though most do fine with group work. But research shows that for those who lean toward the more introverted side of the spectrum, the best, most productive way to get things done is just as Kyra suggests: by themselves.

For some reason, we’ve gotten so attached to group work that we’ve deprived those people of their right to be left alone.

I suspect this has to do with who ascends to the top in education and thus who sets the agenda: extroverts. They learn best in groups, so they naturally assume others will, too.

Unfortunately, having been out of school since 1994, I’ve learned Kyra’s optimism about group cohesion in the workforce is probably unfounded. Those of us out here in the alleged “real world” have long since given up the notion that everyone will contrib-

medical procedure.

Lifestyle changes Some simple lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, reduction in salt intake, quitting smoking, reducing stress or limiting alcohol and caffeine may help with AF. Medications The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute lists rate control, rhythm control and blood thinning drugs as frequent treatment options for people with AF. If a doctor prescribes blood thinning medication, it’s important to have clotting levels checked regularly so dosage can be adjusted.

The LMH Anticoagulation Clinic team assists patients and physicians in safely and effectively monitoring and managing anticoagulant (blood thinning) drug therapy.

The clinic offers a quick test with immediate results that helps determine how well the medication is working. For more information, call the LMH Anticoagulation Clinic at 505-6350 or visit lmh.org.

Medical procedures There are many procedures physicians may suggest to help with AF, including electrical cardioversion, implantation of a pacemaker and surgery.

For more information about these and other heart topics, visit the Cardiology tab at lmh.org.

That’s why most equal partnerships fail in just a few years and many businesses are pulling away from the “solution team” approach.

Schools should do likewise. While a good group can make work easier, groups are synergistic enterprises, not socially engineered gatherings.

We all work better when we choose how we work, and, in this regard, schools are behind the curve in expecting kids to get much out of group projects.

Blue Valley students build calming chairs for autistic kids Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Stuart Jackson was on a mission.

For years, the Overland Park father had searched for a way to help his son find relief from the stress and anxiety often experienced by children with autism.

Like many of those children, Joshua could be soothed through deep touch pressure — the kind of feeling one might get by being tightly hugged or squeezed.

Jackson came across a few potential solutions on the market, but they tended to be clunky, noisy or ineffective. And way too expensive.

So he took it to CAPS — the Center for Advanced Professional Studies in the Blue Valley School District, according to the Kansas City Star.

And the engineering students rose to the challenge.

Using such items as a papasan chair, an inflatable air bag, a swimming pool noodle and a remote control air pump, they designed and built a device that not only provides deep pressure to calm the user, but is affordable and looks like a regular piece of furniture.

Now the students are refining their two prototypes and have applied for a patent. The ultimate goal: to get the chairs into all Blue Valley schools and beyond, maybe even into homes and clinics.

The children love the chairs, said Keith Manbeck, a CAPS instructor.

“The first time we tested it, one of the kids was on the verge of a meltdown,” Manbeck said.

“Then he got in it, and he just calmed right down.”

Big ‘fun’day KANSAS 85, OKLAHOMA 78

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) AND THE REST OF THE PLAYERS ON THE BENCH CELEBRATE a three by teammate Brannen Greene to reclaim the lead late in the second half of KU’s 85-78 victory over Oklahoma on Monday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks win wild one with Sooners

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self raced through the fabled northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse with a big smile on his face, slapping palms with a pair of fans on the way to the locker room after Kansas University’s 85-78 ESPN Big Monday victory over Oklahoma.

“Fun game, huh?” Self

asked the delirious duo, who nodded in agreement.

Fun? Crazy?

Thrilling?

Wild?

All those words could be used to describe a game in which KU saw a game-high lead of 20 points turn into a four-point deficit before some heroics by Brannen Greene and others down the

stretch paved the way for KU’s fourth Big 12 victory in five tries and 15th overall win against three defeats.

OU fell to 14-6, 3-3.

“What a game! That’s good for Big 12 basketball there,” said Self, who was the emotional polar opposite late in the fiercely contested contest when, miffed at a call, he pounded the video-board panel next to the

bench three times, knocking it offline.

KU tied a school record with nine three-pointers in taking a 51-32 break into the half, but OU rallied for an eventual 69-65 lead with 4:56 to play.

“We played a great first half,” Self said. “They played a great second half. The basket got thimble-sized for us the first 15 minutes of the

second half and looked like a big water tub for them.

“To have guys step up when we had absolutely no momentum ... I think we grew up a lot tonight,” added Self, whose Jayhawks outscored OU 20-9 the final five minutes.

KU was down 71-70 at 3:28 when Kelly Oubre Jr.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD CLIFF ALEXANDER (2) SWINGS THE BALL between Oklahoma forward Ryan Spangler (00) and guard Buddy Hield.

The sun came up in the East, set in the West, Allen Fieldhouse didn’t have an empty seat, and the player singled out by Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self with a second-half benching two nights earlier bounced back with a terrific effort.

Those four Monday events were equally predictable.

Self knew the only shot Kansas had to win an 11th consecutive Big 12 title was for freshman center Cliff

“It’s a mental thing,” Alexander said.

Self did a nice job of explaining why calling it lack of effort when his center doesn’t play with his motor running hot is accurate.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Youth abounds on KU staff

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For much of his coaching life, Clint Bowen has been one of the youngest guys on any coaching staff of which he has been a part.

Not anymore.

Although the 42-yearold Bowen remains on the young side relative to most defensive coordinators in the country, the former Jayhawk who served as Kansas University’s interim head coach for the final eight games of the 2014 season actually is one of the oldest coaches on first-year head coach David Beaty’s coaching staff.

Only Beaty (44), co-defensive coordinator Kenny Perry (44), offensive coordinator Rob Likens (47) and running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell (54) are older than Bowen. In fact, the average age of Beaty’s staff, including the head coach, comes in at 38.8 years old, which makes this staff by far the youngest group of coaches that has come through Kansas in years.

Despite being one of the youngest staffs in the country, the new KU coaches do not lack experience. All but four of Beaty’s coaches — 27-year-old Klint Kubiak (4), 31-year-old Calvin Thibodeaux (7), 31-yearold Zach Yenser (8) and 31-year-old Kevin Kane (9) — have at least 14 years of coaching experience. And the average number of years in coaching per staff member sits right at 16.

“Even though they’re young in age, they’ve

KANSAS UNIVERSITY HEAD FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY, RIGHT, visits with assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Clint Bowen during an introductory news conference with the KU assistant coaches on Jan. 14.

KU lands pledge from Texas DB Shola Ayinde, a twostar football defensive back from George Ranch High in Richmond, Texas, announced on Twitter late Monday night that he had orally committed to Kansas University.

Ayinde, a 6-foot, 168-pound cornerback who is known for his

range and speed — 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash — had been committed to Tulsa but was wooed to KU by new Kansas defensive-line coach Calvin Thibodeaux.

“Coach Thibodeaux has been recruiting me since my junior year,” Ayinde told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com. “He has made the recruiting process really good. He

started telling me about the education and the football side of things Kansas has to offer.”

New KU cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry also played a role in landing Ayinde.

“He was recruiting me to TCU and that made the process easier,” Ayinde said. “He’s a great guy, funny, and energetic. I look forward to him coaching me.”

earned their stripes,” Bowen said of the new staff, which is rounded out by 37-year-old special-teams coordinator Gary Hyman and 39-year-old strength coach Je’Ney Jackson.

“They’ve earned their right to be here, and they’ve worked hard to get here and have accelerated their learn-

ing curve to get here. I think it’ll be a group of guys that our players on our roster right now can come in and relate to and feel comfortable around.”

When it comes to the task of turning around Kansas football, regardless of how many years they’ve lived or coached, Bowen said every mem-

ber of the new staff was considered an equal.

“Any time you bring a new group of guys together, I think it’s a great opportunity to really step back and evaluate everything you do,” Bowen said. “From a recruiting standpoint, to how you handle your players on a day-to-day basis to a schematic standpoint.

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It’s a chance to let everyone stand up in the room as they do on their interview. It’s interesting when you interview guys.

You actually learn a lot about the way they would do it. It’s a chance to reset the whole deck a little bit and find out what everyone really does know and find out where you can make your program better.”

One of the biggest areas that Beaty, Bowen and the rest of the staff hope to make a big splash is on the recruiting trail. Bowen said the energy and enthusiasm of a young staff could help entice more athletes to come join the KU program. Recruiting coordinator Mitchell, who, 32 years into his career, is the most experienced member of Beaty’s staff, said having so many guys who have worked with Beaty in the past at one place or another also could be a big advantage.

With less than three weeks remaining to fill the four open spots in the 2015 recruiting class in time for national signing day (Feb. 4), the nowcomplete staff has gone all-in in its attempt to find a few more guys to round out the class.

“The transition has been very smooth,” Mitchell said. “Because of coach Beaty’s personality and attitude, he knows sometimes things aren’t going to work out perfectly. With me knowing our roster a little bit and knowing the players and then knowing the guys who we were recruiting on the board, that’s kind of helping the transition.”

Sooners bemoan early defense

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Oklahoma players dished plenty of credit to the Kansas University men’s basketball team for its role in Monday night’s hard-fought, 85-78 KU victory at Allen Fieldhouse.

But with the disappointment of coming so close to stealing a victory in one of the most difficult places to win in the country still showing on their faces, the Sooners took their share of the

blame for allowing the Jayhawks to explode offensively.

Kansas (15-3 overall, 4-1 Big 12) drained nine of 13 three-point attempts in the first half, including eight makes in a row to open the game.

“We were kind of leaving them open. We weren’t playing the defense we were playing all year,” OU junior Ryan Spangler said. “Once you see one or two go down, the others are easier, and that’s what they did.”

Oklahoma coach Lon

Kruger said he was perplexed by the way his team seemed powerless to stop KU’s hot shooting in the first half, but came away encouraged by the way things turned around in the second half.

“We had a little more fight, a little more getting-after-it,” Kruger said.

They also had a lot more success.

After shooting just 32 percent from the floor in the first half, the Sooners shot 48 percent in the second half and drilled four of their first five second-

half three-point attempts to help cut into KU’s 19-point lead and actually jump ahead by a point with 10 minutes to play.

Junior guard Buddy Hield, who led all scorers with 26 points, hit a free throw with 10:10 to play that put Oklahoma (146, 3-3) ahead by a point.

Five minutes later, OU led by four and had Kansas on the ropes. From that point, however, OU went cold, and KU found a way to close out a victory down the stretch.

“It was very frustrating,”

said Hield, who added that OU’s urgency and ability to win more 50-50 balls in the second half was as responsible for the comeback as the Sooners’ shooting.

“We did a good job coming back, and guys did a good job sticking in there. We’re a confident team, and coach Kruger does a good job keeping us steady.”

Spangler, who found himself in foul trouble in both meetings with the Jayhawks last season, played 37 minutes Monday night and had a double-double of 13 points

and 10 rebounds to show for it. Unfortunately for Spangler and the Sooners, KU freshman Cliff Alexander also chipped in a double-double (13 points, 13 rebounds) in a game that will go down as the night Alexander found his motor again.

“He’s big,” Spangler said. “He’s a pretty good young guy. We battled, and we’ll have to do a better job next time.”

That next meeting won’t come for another seven weeks, March 7 at OU.

“I thought it was good.

Yeah, it definitely felt good,” said Greene, who hit three threes (KU was 10-of-19 to OU’s 8-of-25) and scored 12 points in 15 minutes. He played just eight minutes combined the past two games.

“Good rotation and rhythm. It was a good shot. I felt it was good.

I was fine. I knew what I needed to do. I had to improve on the defensive end,” added Greene, who said, “of course,” when asked if he’d had some conversations about his play with Self of late.

“I have to improve on the defensive end. I’m working on that. I’m not a great defensive player.

It’s all about improvement, and it’s what I’m trying to do. The important thing is, we’re on the same page.”

Isaiah Cousins followed a Frank Mason III (10 points, four assists) 10-footer with a three, and KU led, 75-74, at 2:20.

Alexander then dunked off a feed from Mason, and Oubre scored on a drive, and the Jayhawks led, 79-74, at 1:15. Oubre answered two free throws by Buddy Hield (26 points) with another driving layup, and KU led, 81-76, at :55. The lead

“We knew we wouldn’t shoot like that the second half,” Greene said.

KU hit 57.6 percent the first half and was 9-of13 from three. The nine threes tied for most treys in a half in school history.

KU hit nine in the first half in 2010 at Nebraska, nine in the second half against Hofstra in 2009 and nine in the first half in 1994 at North Carolina State. KU hit its first eight threes for the first time in the Self era. The school record is nine without a miss in 1994 at N.C. State.

“We were hot at the beginning. Oklahoma got hot the second half (48.4 percent second half after 32.4 the first). We got back into a rhythm. The crowd got into it. Everybody’s back to school. It was fun,” Greene stated.

NOTEBOOK

Big 12 honors Oubre — again

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s Kelly Oubre Jr. was named Big 12 newcomer of the week on Monday for the second time this season.

Oubre, a 6-foot-7 freshman from New Orleans, averaged 12.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as the Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma State at home and lost to Iowa State on the road. Oubre scored 14 points versus OSU and had 10 points and eight boards against ISU. He shot 40 percent on the week, with five assists and four steals.

Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield was selected Big 12 player of the week.

Hield, a 6-4 junior from Freeport, Bahamas, averaged 24.0 points and 6.5 rebounds as OU beat Oklahoma State and lost to West Virginia.

“I love it, it gets us during the first half of Monday’s KU-Oklahoma better for other people.

A better chance for the state championship also with this competition,” Bragg told cleveland.com.

Of Bragg’s performance, ESPN Insider’s Reggie Rankin wrote: “His length and athleticism are major league and factor in he is an excellent passer with a smooth jumper with range beyond the arc. Bragg is a good rebounder as well.

All the tools are in the tool belt for this power forward that has the potential to share time at small forward with continued ball skill development. When Bragg is full attack mode he has the potential to stuff the stat sheet. The Kansas

agree that he’s not playing with the motor he’s capable of playing with,” Self said. “You might think of that as he’s not trying, or he’s not playing hard. That’s not necessarily true.

“When your brain hesitates and you’re thinking, all of a sudden, you lose that motor. Can you imagine a sprinter if his mind’s cluttered?

He’d have no chance. He hasn’t been playing with that free mind because he is conscientious, and he wants to do it. We need to say, ‘Hey, screw up. That’s fine.

Screw up.

Just make sure you do it 100 mph.’ And we would be a much Alexander better team.”

Kansas had Frank Mason III, Brannen Greene, Kelly Oubre Jr., Perry Ellis and Alexander on the floor when it did its Lazarus act late in a game the Jayhawks led by 20 points in the first half and trailed by four in the second. All five players made memorable contributions late.

Alexander hit big shots and dunks, crashed the boards and took a big charge.

Self had hoped Alexander would bring similar energy that Thomas Robinson brought. That’s why Alexander watches so much video of the former KU All-American.

“He shows me T-Rob, most defintiely T-Rob, all the time,” Alexander said. “He runs the floor, blocking shots, catching everything, dunking everything.”

Alexander did his share of all that Monday, when he picked up seven offensive rebounds.

“Let’s be honest, hey, Perry and Jamari (Traylor) are great, but they don’t give us a physical presence like Cliff potentially does,” Self said. “We need that. We need that. It changes our team. Regardless of who starts moving forward, everybody needs a rim protector. Everybody needs somebody who can get rebounds in traffic and has really strong hands. I mean, there are so many good teams that have a physical presence that really we haven’t had consistently this year. It’s not a knock on Cliff. It’s taken half his freshman year to kind of figure it out. Hopefully, from this point forward, we’ll see a turned-up guy.”

Sounds as if Self is ready to let him play through his mistakes, probably start soon, and see what his most powerful big man can do to make Kansas tougher inside.

Unbeaten UK, Virginia remain 1-2 in poll The Associated Press

Kentucky got back to the dominant form it had to start the season, while Virginia stayed with the defensive-minded formula that carried it to last year’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

That was good enough to keep both teams unbeaten and comfortably atop the AP Top 25.

For the second straight week, Kentucky was No. 1 in 63 of 65 votes cast Monday, while Virginia stayed at No. 2. The Wildcats (17-0) have been No. 1 in every poll and were the unanimous choice for

five straight weeks before two voters switched to the Cavaliers (17-0) last week.

Those defections came after the Wildcats survived two overtime games against unranked Southeastern Conference opponents, but Kentucky beat Missouri and Alabama by a combined 71 points — with coach John Calipari saying the 86-37 win against the Tigers was needed to help his team “get our swag back a little bit.”

As for Virginia, the Cavaliers controlled the second half for doubledigit wins against Clemson and Boston College.

“We had a good stretch last year and I think we realized how together we had to play to be our best,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. “And I think our guys understand that this year, when they’re really playing together and are sound and tough defensively and putting in the right kind of effort ... that’s our way to be successful.”

Gonzaga remained in third, while Villanova swapped places with Duke. The Blue Devils fell from fourth to fifth after a loss to Miami that ended a 41-game home winning streak, followed by a onesided win at Louisville.

Notre Dame has matched the best start in its history. Now, the No. 8 Fighting Irish are back in the top 10 after the week’s biggest climb.

Notre Dame (17-2) jumped four spots from No. 12, earning the program’s first top-10 appearance since January 2011.

No. 7 Arizona and No. 17 Texas each moved up three spots.

On the other hand, No. 10 Louisville and No. 12 Utah each slipped down four spots for the week’s biggest fall. The Cardinals (15-3) lost at home to Duke, while Utah (14-3) lost to Arizona.

Couple disturbed when son confesses to abuse Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 70s, and we raised four children. We lost our second son to suicide when he was 7. He suffered from major depression.

A few years ago, our daughter wrote us, saying that her eldest brother had sexually molested her when she was very young. We knew nothing about it and were very upset.

I confronted our son, now 42, and he admitted to it and was so sorry for what he did all those years ago.

I told our daughter that her brother admitted everything and felt terrible about it and that I hope at some point, he will tell her directly how sorry he is. Since he became an adult, this son is the kindest person and has the closest relationship with us of all our children.

Last week, our youngest son and his family came to visit. It turns out that his eldest brother also had molested him when they were children.

What are we supposed to do at this stage of our lives? Do you think our eldest son could have been molested at an early age and then acted out like this on his siblings? Our son has never admitted to any molestation when he was a boy and we are

‘Justified’ sets up a tense finale It’s not hard to feel uneasy as “Justified” (9 p.m., FX) enters its sixth and final season. After all, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) has just weeks left in the hollers of Harlan before he can leave for loved ones in Florida. Since “Lethal Weapon,” few fictional law enforcement types have survived that set-up.

Raylan’s nemesis, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), is also filled with valedictory sentiment. He sees little future for him and his kind in these old Kentucky hills.

And he’s planning a spectacular heist to subsidize his next chapter.

Featuring cinematic production values and a great supporting cast to back up these natural-born rivals, “Justified” has often been as compelling and entertaining as any drama on television. But as Boyd remarks early in tonight’s season opener, “All things must pass.”

“Friday Night Tykes” (8 p.m., Esquire) enters its second season of documenting a Texas youth football league. Here, 10and 11-year-old boys are taught to play hard, hit hard and win at all costs by coaches and team owners who put the “tough” in tough love.

Like everything to do with football, the nature of “Tykes” is very much in the eye of the beholder. Is it a celebration of a manly rite of passage and AllAmerican pastime? Or an indictment of borderline child-abuse, an infliction of gladiatorial values on young men eager to live up to the expectations of adult coaches and parents who are heavily invested in football’s prestige?

Gorgeously shot and often moving, “Tykes” should not be missed.

Tonight’s other highlights

On two episodes of “Parks

and Recreation” (NBC), teamwork works (7 p.m.) and Leslie and Ron hash out their misunderstandings (7:30 p.m.).

A Missouri mystery writer unlocks her mother’s secret on “Genealogy Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Mona’s missing laptop on “Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

“Degrassi” stars Cristine Prosperi and Justin Kelly appear in the new series “Open Heart” (8 p.m., Teen Nick).

A prankster rocks Daphne’s dorm on “Switched at Birth” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

BIRTHDAYS Former astronaut Buzz Aldrin is 85. Movie director David Lynch is 69. Comedian Bill Maher is 59.

afraid to ask him. Any advice? — Distraught Dear Distraught: This is a disturbing situation, but please don’t hide from it. Your son has already admitted the abuse. He needs to apologize to both of his siblings and ask for forgiveness. We strongly urge you to get into family counseling and work through this.

Dear Annie: You recently published a letter from a woman who was complaining that her husband recently developed anxiety about traveling in a car.

This onset of anxiety could be a symptom of Parkinson’s disease. I developed it and didn’t understand why — until the twitching started in one thumb. The writer’s husband should get to a neurologist now. — Wish We Knew Dear Wish: Thank
