Pregnant, runaway dog is safe after community rallies in search

Thanks to the help of social media, dozens of volunteers and one woman’s keen eye, a pregnant runaway Labrador retriever mix is out of the frigid air and cuddly warm at the Lawrence Humane Society.

Penny, a timid yellow Lab mix who stole thou-

sands of Lawrence hearts this week when she went missing, became a local Internet celebrity after bolting from her Humane Society foster parents Monday morning. Her photo was shared hundreds of times on various social media outlets, and nearly 1,000 Facebook users “liked” the “Help Find Penny” Facebook page.

be placed outside the DeBruce Center, being built to house Naismith’s original rules of basketball.

“Elden’s pieces are such an integral part of Mount Oread — pieces such as ‘Moses’ and ‘Academic Jay’ — that it’s nearly impossible to imagine our campus without them,” KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement. “The university is privileged to be a home for these iconic works and to have had Elden as part of our Jayhawk community.”

Tefft, 95, died Tuesday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital from complications of a fall and ongoing heart problems, said son Kim Tefft.

Until recent months, when he cut back to a time or two a week, Elden Tefft often spent Monday through Saturday working in his studio, his son said.

Tefft had as much passion for teaching art as he did for creating it.

“It was just what he loved and who he was,” his son said. “He always was about learning, and passing that on to others.”

Tefft was born in Hartford and later moved to Lawrence, where his passion for sculpture started as a high school student, according to his obituary. He joined the Air Force during World War II and even developed an art therapy program for wounded soldiers in the South Pacific. Tefft completed bachelor’s and

animals in homes in lieu of the shelter while medical and social conditions are addressed. In Penny’s case, she was “extremely unsocialized” at her first home and needed foster care not only because of her pregnancy but also to warm up to people, Meghji said.

Meghji said Penny’s uneasiness around people and the frigid temperatures this week made the dog’s capture challenging.

“With fearful dogs, the best chance is setting a trap,” Meghji said. “We almost set a trap (Wednesday) night, but it was so cold.”

Penny was spotted many times throughout downtown Lawrence over her four-day disappearance, with six sightings reported on the group’s Facebook page. Meghji said that there were “lots and lots” of calls to the Humane Society and animal control reporting Penny sightings after she was recognized from a picture circulated online.

On Thursday morning, Kansas Department of Agriculture inspector Carman Simon, who rescued Penny from the “bad situation,” drove in from her Coffey County home to aid in the search, Meghji said. Along with Simon came animal activist and former state Rep. Ginger Barr, who witnessed Penny’s capture.

Simon was about three hours into her search when a woman reported that Penny was in her back yard near 11th and Oregon streets with her dogs, and Simon, Barr and a handful of Humane Society staff rushed to the scene. Neither Barr nor Meghji knew the woman’s name.

Meghji said Simon put on her coat and boots she’d worn during Penny’s Feb. 11 rescue for scent recognition and approached the yard. That’s when Penny seemingly remembered Simon and immediately came to her, Barr said.

“Everybody cried, and it was beautiful,” Meghji said.

“It was the best happiness.”

Penny is now recuperating atop a bed of blankets and pillows, sequestered away in a quiet area in the Humane Society’s medical unit. She’ll stay there at least until Monday, when the Humane Society will decide if Penny should go back into a foster home.

Bills aim to hinder EPA’s Clean Power Plan

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee plans on advancing a bill next week that would delay, and possibly even prevent, implementing new federal clean air regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions from power plants.

The main question is which bill the committee will advance.

The Senate Utilities Committee heard testimony this week on two bills dealing with the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new Clean Power Plan, which is scheduled to take effect in June.

Those rules will require states to adopt plans for cutting carbon emissions from power plants by 30 percent from their 2005 levels by 2030. Those plans are to include steps

“

Both the cost and the reliability issues are going to impact every Kansas resident and every Kansas business that relies on electricity.”

— Rodger Wood, a lobbyist for Americans for Prosperity for replacing fossil fuel generating capacity with renewable energy, as well as efficiency measures to reduce demand for electricity.

State and industry officials have expressed concerns about the pro-

posed rules because they give states only one year to develop and submit their plans and they call for such steep reductions that they could force utilities to retire some coalor gas-fired plants before those utilities have time

to build renewable generating capacity to replace them.

In public comments to the EPA, the Kansas Corporation Commission estimated the rules would cost Kansas consumers between $5 bil-

lion and $15 billion.

On Tuesday, the committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 151, which is supported by the Kansas Corporation Commission.

It would require the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to notify the KCC before it enters into any agreements with utilities establishing carbon dioxide emission standards.

KU among top schools with Fulbright Scholars

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

With six faculty members designated as U.S. Fulbright Scholars this year, Kansas University is tied for having the fifth-most of any college in the country, according to a recently released list.

The Chronicle of Higher Education this month published the top producers of U.S. Fulbright Scholars and Students for the 2014-2015 school year.

The fifth-place ranking is KU’s highest since 2011, when only Harvard University had more Fulbright scholars, according to KU. “I often say my favorite part of KU is the outstanding people, and our faculty’s continued success as Fulbright Scholars is an example of the excellence of their teaching and research,” Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement.

some first trimester abortions could be banned.

The bill prohibits the use of clamps, forceps or similar instruments on a fetus so the tissue can be removed from the womb, making exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save a woman’s life or prevent serious, irreversible harm to her physical health.

“What the babies go through — and they are babies — it’s unimaginable,” said Sen. Rob Olson, an Olathe Republican, whose voice quavered as he urged colleagues to support the bill.

Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat who supports abortion rights, decried a potential loss of access to health care for women and said supporters were using inflammatory terms so they could have “a pretty postcard” for campaigns. He chided the bill’s backers for using “unborn child” repeatedly in their proposals, rather than “fetus.”

“I know some of you don’t believe, necessarily, in science,” Haley said.

Several anti-abortion senators pointedly noted Haley’s authorship of a past law against animal cruelty, arguing that human children deserve at least as much protection.

“I don’t know that it’s necessary to insult the intelligence of the chamber for wanting to end a wicked practice,” said Sen. Jake LaTurner, a Pittsburg Republican.

Haley also angered abortion opponents by predicting the state could face a costly lawsuit if it enacts the measure. The attorney general’s office

has reported paying nearly $1.2 million to outside attorneys to help defend anti-abortion laws enacted since January 2011.

But supporters of the bill noted that the state has not yet lost a legal challenge to an antiabortion law. Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, a Leavenworth Republican, said that if cost is an issue, then, “We should have left the death camps in Germany because the cost is too high.”

“Innocent life deserves protection,” Fitzgerald said. “Damn the cost.”

In 2013, the latest year for which data is available from the state health department, the procedure was used in about 600 of the nearly 7,500 abortions in Kansas.

Artistic legacy Few artists have had a greater visual impact on Lawrence and KU than sculptor Elden Tefft.

M

any outstanding faculty members have left a lasting mark on Kansas University, but none left a legacy more tangible than that of sculptor Elden Tefft, who died Tuesday at the age of 95.

Tefft’s bronze “Academic Jayhawk” is a fixture in front of Strong Hall, as well as in thousands of photos taken by visitors standing in front of it. The iconic “Moses,” which gazes at the burning bush in a stained-glass window at the Kansas School of Religion, took Tefft 15 years to complete using innovative bronze casting techniques. Other smaller pieces of Tefft’s work are scattered around the KU campus.

Tefft began studying art at KU at a time when such degrees weren’t held in particu- “Academic Jayhawk” larly high regard.

He told the Journal-World in 1990, “You have to remember that I was in school during the Depression. There weren’t a lot of people who thought you could make a living in art. Everyone was very practical.”

After working as an artist for the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II and studying in Oklahoma, Tefft came back to Lawrence and completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at KU. He established a sculpture program there in 1950, and, for the next 40 years, worked with hundreds of student artists, experimenting and refining sculpture techniques.

Even after retiring from KU in 1990, Tefft continued working on his own projects. In October 2013, the J-W did a story about him putting the finishing touches on pieces for a new exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center in October 2013. At the time, he had been in and out of the hospital and a rehabilitation center, but told a reporter there was “always more” he wanted to do.

Tefft was one of the true icons of Lawrence and KU, someone whose legacy and work will continue to have an impact on our community for generations to come.

GOP should abolish the filibuster Washington — I’ve been radicalized. By Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Goodbye moderation and sweet reason. No more clinging to constitutional and procedural restraint. It’s time to go nuclear.

In the fourth quarter of his presidency, Obama unbound is abusing presidential authority at will to secure a legacy on everything from environmental regulation to immigration, the laws of which he would unilaterally suspend.

Republicans find themselves on the sidelines bleating plaintively about violations of the separation of powers. They thought they found an instrument of resistance in funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The House has funded the whole department except for the immigration service, which was denied the money to implement Obama’s executive amnesty.

But Democrats have filibustered the bill in the Senate, where it will die. And as the night follows day, Republicans, not the filibustering Democrats, will be blamed for shutting down DHS and jeopardizing the nation’s safety at a time of heightened international terrorism.

A nice cul-de-sac. But there is a way out for the GOP. Go bold. Go nuclear. Abolish the filibuster.

Pass the bill and send it to the president.

I know that breaks a lot of china. But Congress is already knee-deep in fractured porcelain. On policy, Obama has repeatedly usurped

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

But filibuster abolition is more than a one-shot proposition. It would radically change the next two years. It would give Republicans full control of the Congress and allow swift passage of a GOP agenda.” congressional power, most egregiously with an executive amnesty for illegal immigrants that for four years he himself had insisted was unlawful.

As for procedure, Reid went nuclear in November 2013 when he abolished the filibuster for presidential appointees and judicial nominees (below the Supreme Court). He did it to pack the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals with liberals.

The nation’s liberal chorus cheered. “Elections are supposed to have consequences,” read one typical commentary. “It was time to push the button.” Boom.

My beef with Reid was not what he did but how he did it. The filibuster has

grown in use and power over the decades to the point of dysfunction. Everything needed 60 votes.

This is relatively new and nowhere to be found in the Constitution.

My problem was the egregious way Reid changed the rule: by a simple majority, 52-48, with zero Republicans onboard (and three Democrats defecting). As I wrote at the time, “If a bare majority can change the fundamental rules that govern an institution, then there are no rules.”

I was not the only one to warn that Democrats would rue the day. Once you go nuclear, so can the other guy.

Reid went first. Time for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to finish the job.

Push the button. Abolish the filibuster.

Then immediately pass the House homeland security bill and send it to the president. He is likely to veto it, but the politics will have been radically changed.

The current storyline is: Republican Congress won’t fund DHS, threatening to shut it down. New storyline: Obama vetoes funding for DHS, threatening to shut it down.

The latter narrative is more accurate: Democrats are stopping the funding.

Moreover, a presidential veto would lead to a more fair allocation of blame.

And it’s blame allocation that determines which side blinks first. The president will have a major incentive to find some face-saving finesse.

But filibuster abolition is more than a one-shot prop-

osition. It would radically change the next two years.

It would give Republicans full control of the Congress and allow swift passage of a GOP agenda.

It would also clarify the antagonists: a lawless president vs. a willful Congress. The GOP could be sending bill after bill to the president’s desk — on tax reform, trade, Obamacare and, if it has the guts, immigration.

Obama’s choice? Sign, veto or negotiate a compromise. If he vetoes, then Republicans take that issue to the country in 2016.

What’s the downside?

Democrats showed in 2013 their willingness to trash Senate procedure for a mess of pottage — three judges on one court. If Republicans stand pat now, what’s to stop Democrats from abolishing the filibuster altogether when it suits them in the future?

And think of the upside.

A GOP resort to the nuclear option might make Democrats come to their senses and negotiate a new understanding that any fundamental change in Senate rules — e.g., altering the filibuster — will henceforth require some agreed to supermajority. No more bare-majority party-line coups.

This would be ideal. But that’s for later. For now, go for the doable. Abolish the filibuster and challenge the president. And when asked, “How can you do such a thing?” tell them to ask Harry Reid.

Tax incentives good for Lawrence

By William Fleming

I am writing in response to Mr. Herynk’s recent letter to the editor and to reply to the recent Journal-World editorial on the use of tax abatements that are requested by developers in the city of Lawrence. I work with several active developers in Lawrence and am active in requesting incentives for various projects we work on in downtown Lawrence. I would like to make the following points in response: l In-fill development should be favored over sprawl; density is good in the downtown area. l None of the taxpayers nor any of the taxing districts such as the city, county or school district, are directly spending dollars on any of these projects.

Instead, they are agreeing to basically defer collection of new tax dollars that will be generated by the project itself — but will only be generated if the project is built. l These districts are all “pay as you go” which means that the developers pay up front all development costs. l The developer takes the risk that the revenues generated by the project will not repay this investment.

YOUR TURN Again, there is no financial risk to the city, county or school district. l No incentives are granted without a separate study prepared by a consultant hired by the city that confirms that “but for” the incentives granted, the project would not be built. I understand the natural skepticism of some citizens such as Mr. Herynk who reasonably question whether these projects would be built without these incentives. I can, however, answer that question. The answer is no. The incentives are absolutely necessary to make the projects financially feasible, especially when the cost of parking structures is factored in. l After the study is completed, the project is reviewed by the city’s Public Incentives Review Committee. Part of the analysis that is done by the PIRC includes weighing the costs and benefits of the project including the additional economic activity generated by the project in comparison to the expected costs to the governmental districts in terms of potential additional cost of governmental services.

l Under downtown zoning rules, a developer is not required to build off-street parking as part of the requirement of building a project.

The incentives are used by the developer to help pay for the parking and other infrastructure needs of the project that would otherwise be paid by the city. l Even if the project is not generating significant tax collections for the city for some initial period Fleming of time, the project will still generate significant jobs and economic activity.

If you build a $20 million project, normally expect half, or around $10 million, of that project cost will be paid out for labor to build the project. This employs many hundreds of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, laborers, etc. After the term of the project incentives expires, then the project will be added to the tax rolls and will then contribute significantly to the city’s tax base. l Treanor Architects was able to utilize a Neighbor-

hood Revitalization District to construct a new office building in downtown Lawrence. Treanor remodeled an old building that was built in the ’60s as a car dealership into a first-class office building. Since then, the firm has added staff and grown by around 20 percent its employment base in Lawrence. I believe this is a great example of a positive economic benefit that is a result of incentives granted by the city.

Part of the privilege of living in Lawrence is the spirited debate that our residents engage in about the future growth and direction of our city, especially the downtown area. For our part, we firmly believe that in order for downtown to thrive and grow, the kinds of projects that are being built with the support of tax incentives are vital. Without that support, I believe (based on the numbers) that none of these projects would be built.

for about 15 more years.

After the allegations against The Cave emerged in March, several city commissioners expressed interest in adding language to the city’s tax incentive policies that would allow the city to reduce or cancel tax incentives for projects that have caused public safety problems.

City staff members in April did propose language that would give the city the ability to reduce or cancel incentives for projects that cause public safety problems. The language was inserted into a proposed agreement for a sevenstory apartment and office building that is proposed for the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets. But commissioners removed the language after the development group objected that it could jeopardize the financing of the project. Commissioners agreed that the new language was too much of a last-minute addition to the project, but commissioners said they were still interested in adding the language to future projects. Commissioners directed the city’s Public Incentive Review Committee to study the issue. The PIRC did have a discussion on the topic, and some concerns were raised that the language could have a chilling effect on the ability of developers to finance future projects.

But the debate, to my recollection, ended there.

Normally, items discussed at PIRC make their way to the City Commission for discussion. I don’t believe that has ever been the case with that topic. As noted previously, the topic hasn’t gotten any discussion by city commissioners as they have debated the incentives package for The Eldridge.

But the process isn’t quite done yet. City commissioners must still give final approval to the tax incentive package at their March 10 meeting.

Senate Bill 166, referred to as the “Rule of Law Restoration Act,” was introduced earlier this month at Kobach’s request. It declares specific “findings” that President Obama violated federal law and the U.S. Constitution when he issued executive orders protecting certain classes of undocumented immigrants from deportation, and therefore they do not preempt the state from acting on its own.

Senate Bill 166 would also would make it illegal for any employer in the state of Kansas to knowingly employ or pay wages to an undocumented immigrant. And it would prohibit the state from issuing them drivers licenses or other forms of state identification.

The failure of Democrats to reach out to Hispanic and Latino voters has been cited by many party insiders as one of the reasons for their devastating losses in 2014, when Republicans won the governor’s race, all statewide and congressional races, and picked up five seats in the Kansas House, despite pre-election polls showing Democrats ahead or tied in many of those races.

Those programs are officially known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA; and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. Earlier this week, those executive orders were put on hold by a federal judge in Texas in a lawsuit filed by 26 states, including Kansas, challenging the constitutionality of those orders.

But the White House noted that the orders have been upheld by another federal judge in Washington, D.C., and it said the Justice Department will appeal the Texas decision.

Home construction slows but outlook still good

JOSH BOAK

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. homebuilders slowed the pace of construction in January, breaking ground on fewer single-family houses ahead of the spring buying season.

Housing starts slipped 2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.07 million last month, down from 1.09 million in December, the Commerce Department said this week.

Leading that decline was a sharp 6.7 percent monthly drop in starts for single-family houses. Still, a healing economy has caused building activity to move at a faster clip,

with single-family starts climbing 18.7 percent over the past 12 months.

Despite the monthly decline, the broader economy should help boost home sales and apartment construction this year.

“We have strong job growth, strong consumer confidence, still low borrowing costs,” said Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

In the past three months alone, the economy has gained more than a million new paychecks.

Employers are adding workers at an annual clip of 2.3 percent, the fastest rate in the more than five-

year recovery from the Great Recession.

The hiring has also fueled expectations that more millennials will sign leases on apartments.

Builders have prepared for the additional demand, with apartment construction surging 12.1 percent in January and 24.5 percent over the past 12 months.

The improving labor market is expected to trigger greater demand to buy homes, boosting prices and then causing builders to further ramp up construction.

Metro areas with the fastest job growth are experiencing larger increases in home prices,

Jed Kolko, chief economist Still, the gains have yet to fully appear ahead of the at the real estate firm Trulia, said in a report last spring buying season. week.

Much of January’s decline in single-family house “A growing economy construction occurred fuels housing demand,” in the Midwest, while Kolko said. Among the the South and West 10 metro areas with the experienced smaller dropbiggest year-over-year offs in that segment. price increases, nine had Starts could also fall at least 2 percent job slightly in February growth, he noted. because the number of Builders are projected approved building permits to break ground on 1.2 declined 0.7 percent last million new homes and month to a seasonally apartments this year with adjusted annual rate of activity strengthening even 1.05 million. further in 2016 to 1.49 The National Association million homes constructed of Home Builders/ and 1.61 million in Wells Fargo builder 2017, according to sentiment index dropped Macroeconomic Advisers, in February, falling to a a private forecasting firm. reading of 55 from 57

in January. Much of that decrease came from less buyer traffic, as winter storms this month cut into model home visits. Still, readings above 50 indicate that more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor.

Building activity should increase with warmer weather, as more potential buyers tour open houses and take advantage of mortgage rates near historic lows.

The 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.69 percent last week, compared to 4.28 percent a year ago, according to the mortgage firm Freddie Mac.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Jarrod,” has always been very anxious about social situations and has a hard time making friends. Since graduating from high school, he’s become very isolated. Together with the stress of passing his college courses, he has spiraled into a serious depression.

Jarrod constantly laments that he has no friends and that his family only wants him to get a job and move out.

(They recently staged an intervention and referred to him as a “failure to launch.”)

He thinks no one besides me would care if anything happened to him. He often states that he wishes everything

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

would just end.

I want Jarrod to see a doctor and get help, but he says the idea of talking to someone about his problems scares him and stresses him out even more.

He’s convinced no one can help him. He thinks antidepressants would make him feel worse.

When I suggest that a better sleep schedule, healthier eating habits and more ex-

‘SNL 40th’ repeats tonight NBC repeats the “Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special” (7 p.m.). Given this special’s length and scope and the number of past guests, stars, hosts and musicians on hand, this over-promoted and overstuffed marathon of selfcongratulation managed to be frequently, if not consistently, funny, occasionally brilliant and even touching. And that’s no small feat.

As Eddie Murphy observed in his strangely abbreviated appearance, it was much like attending a class reunion. And like any gathering after four decades, some folks look better than others. Some original stars (Bill Murray and Steve Martin) have not lost a step, while others reminded us why we stopped laughing all those years ago.

And like all gatherings of this sort, thoughts of the missing and the mourned dominate our thoughts, if not the conversation. If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s well worth watching.

Even re-watching. After all, not everybody will be around for the 50th.

On a related note, “Jack and Triumph” (10:30 p.m.) debuts on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming bloc.

Jack McBrayer (”30 Rock”) stars in this absurd series as a former child actor trying to escape the decadent clutches of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The rude, unfiltered, cigarsmoking hand puppet features the arm and voice of Robert Smigel, creator of many “TV Funhouse” cartoons and skits for “SNL,” including the iconic William Shatner “Get a Life” short.

Given its longevity and roots in “classic” television, “SNL” (not to mention “Triumph”) is a natural for the viewing habits of a post-YouTube audience, people accustomed to consuming short clips rather than sitting through entire shows.

Tonight’s other highlights O Can’t wait for the next Winter Olympics? Catch two hours of curling (6 p.m., NBC Sports Network) competition between China, Japan, the United States and New Zealand.

O Terry Crews hosts “World’s Funniest Fails” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Arson proves contagious on “Hawaii Five-O” (8 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Anthony Head is 60.

Model Cindy Crawford is 48.

Actor Miles Teller is 27. Singer Rihanna is 26.

ercise could help, he says he doesn’t care enough to try.

How do I help him find the motivation to get the help he needs? I love him and am terrified that he’s just given up on life. — Worried in the Mountains Dear Worried: Jarrod is depressed, but his unwillingness to get help prevents him from getting better and has become a burden on you.

First, please understand that you are not responsible for his mental health, and you cannot help him without his cooperation.

Tell him that one little step could make all the difference, and suggest he speak to a counselor at the college. Offer to go with him.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Feb. 20: This year you tell it like it is, and tend to get strong reactions as a result. You don’t do anything halfway.

Passions run high no matter what your status is; however, if you try to sit on your feelings, you could experience a backfire. If you are single, look toward the end of summer and beyond to meet someone who gives you a case of the butterflies. If you are attached, the two of you often have arguments about how much you put into this or that.

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) ++++ The planets will encourage you to return to the friendly yet direct Aries who everyone knows and likes. Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ You’ll want to express what is on your mind, but a certain vulnerability could stop you. Tonight: Vanish.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You are more visible than you realize. Wherever you go, you make a strong impression.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might feel as if you are on top of a problem. Ask others for their feedback. Tonight: Take the lead.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Your fiery ways add flair to whatever you do, especially

You can notify the counseling office about Jarrod’s depression and ask them to check on him.

We also recommend The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

this afternoon. Tonight: TGIF! Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ A partner has a very strong sense of what he or she wants and expects from you.

Tonight: Join friends to welcome the weekend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You know that you need to have an important conversation with a loved one. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Eliminate all your internal chatter, and you’ll have much more free time. Tonight: Join a friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ A child or loved one’s actions will make you smile and encourage you to go with the flow.

Tonight: Be a little wild.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You could find that your interest now points you in the direction of security. Tonight: Try something cozy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You’ll be direct with others. Be careful, as you could be met with a very powerful response. Tonight: Hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ Ask questions and talk to someone who has been in a similar situation before agreeing to anything. Tonight: Treat a friend to munchies.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU staff serious about in-state recruiting Kansas City, Kan. — In making his latest stop on a tour of the state, this one Thursday night at Sporting KC’s headquarters, firstyear Kansas University football coach David Beaty shared more information with the surprisingly big crowd that shows he’s sincere about wanting more of a Kansas flavor to the roster.

Beaty’s assistants flanked him on the stage and he had each coach introduce himself and identify his recruiting area. Every one of them has a slice of Kansas as part of his recruiting responsibility. It will take more time for the love to come back in the other direction because the past two head coaches didn’t show much respect to the state and because Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has such a long head-start.

This past season, six Kansas State football players were named first- or second-team Associated Press All-Big 12. Five were from Kansas. Three arrived in Manhattan as walk-ons. Receiver Curry Sexton and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair came to K-State from Abilene.

Center B.J. Finney is a native of Andale. Defensive lineman Ryan Mueller is from Leawood, linebacker Jonathan Truman from Kechi. Finney, Mueller and Truman were walk-ons out of high school.

The Wildcats have the advantage of selling winning tradition and have more in-state recruits than Kansas in recent years talking up what a great experience they had playing college football in Manhattan. To level that playing field, KU has to work twice as hard. Under the previous two regimes, they didn’t devote nearly as much recruiting manpower as Kansas State to covering the state. Now that Beaty has made every assistant accountable for knowing every potential scholarship and walk-on player in his Kansas area, it’s time to start closing the gap.

KU had made recruiting strides at home during Mark Mangino’s tenure. In the Orange Bowl victory vs. Virginia Tech, running back Brandon McAnderson, offensive linemen Adrian Mayes and Chet Hartley, defensive linemen Caleb Blakesley and John Larson, linebacker Mike Rivera and safeties Darrell Stuckey and Justin Thornton, all Kansas natives, started.

Kerry Meier, Jake Sharp and several other Kansans participated.

Beaty and his staff were on board too late to make any in-state headway in the Class of 2015, other than on the important walk-on front, but the desire to do better at home appears genuine this time. Success won’t come quickly or easily, if at all, but the new staff does appear to be putting the right foundation in place.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD SVIATOSLAV MYKHAILIUK, FRONT, gets to the basket past Texas Tech forward Justin Jamison (4) and guard Devaughntah Williams on Jan. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse. Also pictured is KU’s Hunter Mickelson.

Mykhailiuk sees path to improvement

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Just 17 years, 8 months old, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk could be scoring bundles of points for Free State or Lawrence High this season, or one of the many prep schools in the land.

Instead, the 6-foot-8 native of Ukraine has taken on the challenge of playing against older competition at Kansas

University with mixed results. He was a major contributor during nonconference play, but has averaged 6.0 minutes a game in six conference contests, and sat out seven more.

“I don’t think so,” KU coach Bill Self said Thursday, asked if Mykhailiuk might have gained more by playing with fellow 17-yearolds this season. “Svi has gotten better. He’d be the

first one to tell you he’s gotten better.

“He’s really improved.

He went through a period of time he wasn’t making any shots and struggling. The last month or so he’s gotten better. He knows he’s gotten better. He’s not going to be in college past the age of 21, so I don’t see why going to a high school would help. It would allow him to mature and do some things. Moving forward,

Svi having a chance to play good competition every day in practice will help him a lot.”

Mykhailiuk, who started six of 13 nonconference games and logged 16.8 minutes per game, averaged 4.4 points off 32.3 percent shooting (12-37 from three for 32.4 percent). He’s played in six of 13 conference games, averaging 6.0 minutes and 1.8 Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Beaty fires up KU football fan base

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Kan. — No, February doesn’t really qualify as football season. But new Kansas University football coach David Beaty and his staff certainly don’t care. They already have made stops in Hays, Hutchinson and Topeka this month as they tour the Sunflower State for a series of meet-andgreets designed to introduce the new coaches to the KU fan base.

Their latest engagement brought them to Sporting Park Thursday evening, and while schmoozing and posing for photos all came with the territory, so did an open conversation

between the new man in charge and a long-suffering fan base.

Beaty, who asked those attending to support the team and help bring some enjoyment back to Memorial Stadium, didn’t just talk at the fans, he opened the floor for questions, city hall style.

He didn’t even mind talking quarterbacks and playing time when someone wondered if incumbent starting QB Michael Cummings could be a starter in KU’s new offense, under coordinator Rob Likens.

“In the system,” Beaty said of the uptempo spread, “sometimes that can change Benton Smith/Journal-World Photo the direction of a guy’s caKANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY meets with fans during the reer.” team’s Football in February event Thursday night at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C Kansas.

FSHS boys, LHS girls claim bowling crowns

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Leavenworth — Free State High sophomore Alex Jimenez and junior Matthew Eagle bowled in the same lanes and traded strike after strike during the second game of their three-game series at the Sunflower League bowling championships on Thursday.

Both of the Firebirds Kevin Anderson/Special to the Journal-World rolled strikes for the first FREE STATE’S MATTHEW EAGLE, left, accepts seven frames before falling congratulations after throwing a strike during the just short of perfect games.

Sunflower League bowling tournament Thursday Jimenez knocked down six in Leavenworth. pins on his first roll of the

eighth frame, and Eagle left one pin up on his first roll of the 10th frame.

Though their run to a perfect score ended, their performances lifted Free State’s boys bowling team to a Sunflower League title at Crown Lanes in Leavenworth, edging Olathe North by 80 pins. It was the Firebirds’ first boys title since 2008 and second in school history.

Earlier in the afternoon, Lawrence High’s girls bowling team won its first Sunflower League championship in school history. The

Lions beat Olathe North by 133 pins, 2,275-2,142.

“When we all start striking, we just get into a groove,” Eagle said. “I don’t know, we just get pumped and it’s good.”

Jimenez, a transfer from Emporia High, finished second individually with a series total of 750. His streak of strikes in the second game led to a score of 253, right after bowling a 260 in his first game.

Eagle finished third individually, just behind Please see BOWLING, page 3C

records last year, catching 158 games and 1,389 2/3 innings, including 15 games and 141 innings in the playoffs.

After the World Series, Perez joined a major-league allstar team in November touring Japan, adding to his record number of knee bends.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost vows Perez’s workload will be reduced this season as pitchers and catchers reported Thursday to the spring training camp of the defending American League champions.

The Royals have six catchers in camp, but resting Perez once the regular season starts will not be easy. Perez has been selected an AL All-Star the past two years, while earning two Gold Gloves.

“How do I resist the temptation to write Salvador’s name in the lineup 150 times? I don’t

know yet,” Yost said. “It is hard to take him out. It’s hard to do.

We’ve got to find ways, and I don’t know how we’re going to do it yet.”

Perez wore down and faded offensively in the stretch. After hitting .283 with 11 home runs and a .437 slugging percentage before the All-Star Game, he hit .236 with six homers and a .360 slugging percentage after it.

After hitting .347 in June, Perez dropped to .229 in August and .190 in his final 22 games. He drew only three walks the second half.

Perez, who popped up foul for the final out of the World Series with the tying run at third base, hit .207 in 15 playoff games. He struck out 10 times and walked once. Keeping Perez from tiring is a Royals’ priority in 2015.

“It will be one of the hardest things that we try to figure out all year,” Yost said. “How we keep balance there.”

Perez started 143 games behind the plate during the regular season. Brett Hayes started 14 before he was replaced by Eric Kratz, who was acquired in a July 29 trade with Toronto.

Kratz started five games.

There’s a huge dropoff from to Kratz, who has a .219 average in 176 games in the majors, and rookie Francisco Pena, the son of New York Yankees coach Tony Pena. They are competing for the backup job.

“The easiest way to do it is just assign a starter (to a backup catcher) and that way Sal’s getting a break every five days,” Yost said. “But there are other ways, too, where we just make it a mandatory off day. If we have a day game the next day (after a night game), give him that day off.”

The Royals earned a wildcard berth last year to end a 29year playoff drought, so Yost was reluctant to rest Perez.

Los Angeles — Retief Goosen and Vijay Singh, among the top five players in the world a decade ago, were part of a six-way tie for the lead in the Northern Trust Open in what amounted to “throwback Thursday” at Riviera.

The 51-year-old Singh, who plays the occasional Champions Tour event, picked up four birdies on the back nine for a 5-under 66, his lowest opening round on the PGA Tour since the 2012 McGladrey Classic. The threetime major champion and former world No. 1 has not won since 2008.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland opened with a 2-over 73.

Earnhardt, Johnson win qualifiers Daytona Beach, Fla. — Hendrick Motorsports swept the Daytona 500 qualifying races, with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson winning their respective duels.

Danica Patrick needed a push from teammate Kurt Busch for the final two laps of Thursday night’s second 150-mile Budweiser Duel to make the race.

Needing to race her way into Sunday’s season-opener, Patrick wrecked in an incident with Denny Hamlin late in the race. Contact between the two in Wednesday’s practice sent Patrick to a backup car, and her Stewart-Haas Racing team worked feverishly to repair her Chevrolet for the final laps of the duel.

It was Busch who pushed her to a 10th-place finish, good enough to make the Daytona 500.

Firebirds, Lions set for state swimming

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Free State High senior swimmer Jack Ziegler sets his mind on something, he usually finds a way to achieve it.

Ziegler spent the offseason working solely on speed, trying to get faster.

In the first meet of the season, he achieved one of his goals by breaking the school record in the 50-yard freestyle.

Since then, he’s shattered that record and he also set a new Sunflower League meet record two weeks ago. Now he’s focused on winning a couple of state titles at the Class 6A swimming and diving championships, which begin at 10 a.m. today at the Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka.

“We want to win state

points (26.7 percent shooting, 3-of-11 from three).

“It’s a process,” Mykhailiuk said Thursday, asked to summarize his freshman season. “I’m trying to be a good teammate, work hard every practice and help my team how I can.”

Asked if the fact he’s played college ball at such a young age has helped his confidence, he said: “I try not to think about that, because if I come here at 17 I think I can play at 17. It doesn’t matter what age you are.”

He said he’s a better player now than when he arrived at KU. “I think I improved a lot because I practice every day with one of the best college programs in the nation with the best coaches,” Mykhailiuk said. “They help me every time. I think I improved a lot from the beginning.”

He said, “every day I guard Kelly (Oubre Jr.) or Wayne (Selden Jr.). They are really good.”

Mykhailiuk also practices on his own a lot.

“I’m trying to work every day when it’s possible,” he said. “When I’m not tired or if it’s a day off, I’m trying to go every time to the gym and shoot.”

As far as defense ...

“Here games are more tough,” said Mykhailiuk, who played in the Ukrainian Basketball Superleague from 2012 to 2014.

“You need to be tougher physically and mentally. Defense is not just physical, it’s mental. You need to know how to move, where you need to be in some spots.”

As proof, the former Texas A&M assistant pointed to a QB from the Lone Star State who benefited from a change in scheme: TCU’s Trevone Boykin, who received votes in the Heisman Trophy race after a breakout season.

Not about to make any promises or predictions, though, Beaty answered: “Can Michael do it?

That’s yet to be seen.”

Far from over, Beaty described the race to become KU’s 2015 starting quarterback as “wide open,” in the midst of mentioning returning Jayhawks Montell Cozart and T.J. Millweard and alluding to recently signed recruits Carter Stanley (Vero Beach, Florida) and Ryan Willis (Bishop Miege).

“We’re gonna go with a guy who can move our

in both of our relays,” Ziegler said. “I’m in the 200 medley and 400 free relay. I want to win state in the 50 (freestyle). ...

But I’ve got pretty tough competition in the 100 (freestyle).”

Ziegler, who scored a perfect 36 on his ACT, is the top-seeded swimmer in the 50 freestyle and is No. 2 in the 100 freestyle, though he trails the top swimmer by more than 1.3 seconds. The Firebirds have the fastest seed time in the 400 freestyle relay and are narrowly the second seed in the 200 medley relay.

One of the big keys for Ziegler, and other Free State swimmers, will be the use of a warm-up and cool-down pool. It’s what they’re accustomed to during the club swimming seasons, and the

“

We want to win state in both of our relays.”

— Free State swimmer Jack Ziegler extra pool has plenty of advantages.

“Warming up is a huge part of the race,” Ziegler said, “especially for sprinters because in longer races you can kind of use parts of the race as a warm-up. But as sprinter, you’ve got to be ready to go, 100 percent, the entire time. Having the warmup pool will definitely help.”

The Firebirds are aiming to improve from their fifth-place finish at state last year. They have at least one swimmer in each event and have four divers. One of the newcomers to the state meet is junior Brett Carey, who

Self said Mykhailiuk has been a pleasure on and off the court.

“The guys love him.

He’s a stud,” Self said.

“I want to see him do well. He’s had a great attitude. Anybody that doesn’t play as much as they hoped can get frustrated. He’s kept a very positive approach. He’s gotten better. His time is coming. He likes it here.

The people here have been nice to him. Certainly we’re expecting big things from him in the future.”

Mykhailiuk recently welcomed his mom and dad to town to watch the Jayhawks play three games.

“I was happy to see them. I hadn’t seen them in a long time,” he said.

“It’s a pretty good city and they like it. (Now) they are watching every game online (in Ukraine).”

Mykhailiuk said, “yes,” when asked if he still feels as if he could play here “multiple years.” He has the option of playing Russian club ball for big bucks as early as next season.

“It’s the best chance (opportunity) what I have in my life,” he said of playing at KU. “Just give him time,” Self said. “It’s not an easy deal for him. From a prospect standpoint, he may be as good a prospect as we have.” l Graham update: KU freshman Devonté Graham was candid in assessing his play the last month. He’s scored two points off 0-for-7 shooting (2-2 from line) the last four games.

“Pretty bad to be honest,” the 6-2 point guard said Thursday. “I haven’t been myself lately. It’s something I can turn around, making plays for

others. The coaches have been telling me I haven’t been as aggressive as when I first came back (from turf toe injury).

He (Self) thinks I’m being too passive. I kind of agree with him. I’m playing kind of soft I think.” l Close race: Self was asked if he’s a scoreboard watcher this time of year.

“I’ll be honest. I thought last night would have been a great opportunity for my alma mater to play really well. I’m not going to lie about that,” he said of Oklahoma State falling to Iowa State. The Cyclones, who beat OSU, are a game behind KU in the Big 12 race.

“Ball’s in our court. We need to play well, hold serve at home, play better on the road than what we’ve been playing,” Self added. l Self on Cliff Alexander’s health: “I think Cliff’s body probably feels more beat up than it ever has in his life. I think he’s holding up fine. A bruised sternum isn’t fun.

You have a bruised sternum, every time you get hit, it hurts. Then he has had some other things.

But you know what, everybody’s got something, especially this time of year. He doesn’t have anything that should remotely keep him from playing at a high level.” l This, that: March 3 is not only Senior Day for KU’s Christian Garrett, it’s Bill Self Bobblehead Giveaway Day. More details will be available later. KU will meet West Virginia that day at 8 p.m. ... KU will meet TCU at 3 p.m., Saturday in Allen. ... The game time of the KU-Texas game on Feb. 28 has been set for 4 p.m.

team and take care of the football and manage the game,” Beaty said. “And then we’re gonna train them like crazy to make the right decisions.”

One thing he did make clear: KU won’t utilize a two-QB offense.

Asked soon after about Likens’ offense, Beaty said KU has the talent to run it.

“It allows us a little bit of flexibility that I think we have to have in a game,” he explained, “which is to be able to use misdirection to confuse players and take away a little bit of their athletic ability by slowing them down, and then using option football.”

Plus, the coach added, blocking issues can be remedied by scheming and running the option out of the uptempo, quick-hitting system.

Beaty said he enjoys the format of these “Football in February” events — KU has another scheduled for this coming Thursday in

Wichita — because of the interaction with the fans.

“I think sharing the vision with them is very important. And understanding also that we’re here to earn their support,” the first-year head coach said. “That’s kind of the thing that we’re standing on right now, which is: What’s gonna make us different?”

As he put it, Beaty is in a “huggy/lovey” stage right now, but he knows that won’t last forever, and his staff aims to turn the downtrodden program around over time.

“We have to prove it to ’em,” Beaty said. “At the same time, once we lay the vision out and we talk to them about the blueprint and how we plan on doing it, it’s a big deal for us to ask them to try and partner with us, to make it their program and something they can be proud of.”

is the lone Firebird in the 500 freestyle.

“Super excited,” said Carey, who has shaved more than 20 seconds on his time in the 500 freestyle this season. “I’ve heard stories and stuff like that. I don’t think there’s going to be anything that compares to what I’m going to be able to experience. It’s the fastest meet of the season and it’s also the biggest meet.”

Sophomore Jordan Portela, the defending champion in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, is the top seed in both events this year. Senior Josh Terrell owns the

with junior diver Izaiah Bowie and all three relays.

“We’re real excited,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “This is what we’ve really been going for the whole year. We’ve got some people in it and we look pretty good for doing better than last year.”

Odgers, a junior, swam in a few relays at state last year, but he’s thrilled that he qualified for his first individual race at state.

“I barely got in with a consideration time, but I’m still happy about it,” said Odgers, who is seeded 23rd of 24 competitors.

“I’m just happy I got in the 100 fly. I don’t expect to go to finals, but that’d be nice if I did. I expect all three relays to get to finals the next day.”

second-fastest seed time in the 100 breaststroke and third-fastest in the 200 individual medley.

Freshman Evan Eskilson is also the third seed in the 100 backstroke.

“We’re really excited,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “They’ve looked at times. They’ve looked at who’s seeded in front of them, if there is anybody, and set some goals and thought about what they could do. It looks real promising.

They’re really motivated.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S GIRLS BOWLING team took first place at Sunflower League on Thursday at Crown Lanes in Leavenworth. Walking off the lanes after getting the team trophy, from left, are Morgan Daniels, Izzy Schmidtberger, Ashlee Erickson, Holly Evans and Diamonique Vann.

Jimenez, with a 690 series. His second game produced a 279, tying his personal-record. Eagle, who picked up a spare and finished with a strike in the 10th frame, said he’s reached a 279 about seven times in his career.

But, both of them admitted to trying to keep their minds off of their scores as the strikes and crowd’s excitement built.

“I thought Eric (Glogau) was going to come with us, too,” Jimenez said. “But once that stopped, I knew I still had someone else to go off with. To get that many strikes with somebody else, it feels like you’ve got (Professional Bowler Association) kind of thing going.”

Lawrence’s girls team

just missed out on a league title last season, finishing in second place by 49 pins. The Lions left nothing to chance this year with Ashlee Erickson, Miranda Krom and Morgan Daniels all finishing in the top-seven individually.

Erickson, who took fourth place overall with a 609 series, rebounded from a “rocky start” with a 211 in her second game and ending with a 240.

“I’m very happy,” Erickson said. “It’s beginning to become the icing to my senior year of bowling.”

Daniels improved each game, rolling a 187 in her middle game and a 212 in her final game. Krom opened with a 232, despite tough lane conditions, on her way to a 570 series.

“It’s pretty flooded in the middle so it’s kind of hard to find your mark,” Daniels said of the lane’s

oil. “I had to slow it down and move, like, five boards to the right.”

Free State’s girls bowling team took fifth place as a team, jumping up from eighth last year. Junior Gentry Jordan and senior Bri Martin finished ninth and 10th overall, respectively. They both rolled scores above 210 in their second games.

“I think I’ve could’ve done better but the lanes were a little hard to get used to,” Martin said. “I’m overall happy with how I did. … I think fifth place is the best we’ve done in a while so I’m happy with it.”

Lawrence’s boys bowling team took sixth place, led by freshman Javier Lemmons, who scored 218 in his first game and had a 575 series.

Both schools will compete in regionals at 11 a.m.

Thursday at Royal Crest Lanes.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Terps top Huskers ————

Arizona rolls past Southern Cal The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 16 Maryland 69, Nebraska 65 College Park, Md. — Melo Trimble scored 26 points, including a pair of pivotal three-pointers down the stretch, and No. 16 Maryland squeezed past Nebraska Thursday night in the first-ever meeting between the teams.

Dez Wells and Jake Layman each scored 14 for the Terrapins (22-5, 10-4 Big Ten), who were locked in a tie game with 5:38 left before Trimble took over.

After Wells made two free throws, Trimble beat the shot clock with a jump shot from atop the key. The freshman guard connected again from beyond the arc with 2:18 remaining for a 62-54 lead.

That was just enough to provide Maryland with another close win. The Terrapins have won their last three games by a total of 11 points and are 8-0 in games decided by six points or fewer.

Trimble went 7 for 9 from the floor and made 10 of 11 free throws. He also led Maryland with six rebounds and five assists. Walter Pitchford scored 19 and Shavon Shields added 13 for Nebraska (13-13, 5-9). Terran Petteway, who came in averaging 18.7 points, was held to eight on 2-for-14 shooting.

The Cornhuskers have lost four straight and six of seven, but they gave the Terrapins all they could handle in this one.

A three-pointer by Pitchford got the Huskers to 65-62 with 29 seconds left, Nebraska gained possession on a steal. But Wells stole the ball and Trimble made two free throws on the other end to clinch it.

Maryland improved to 16-1 at home, 7-0 in the Big Ten. After Nebraska made the first two baskets of the second half to go up 38-34, Trimble hit a runner to spark a 10-0 run

that put Maryland up by six.

A three-pointer by Jared Nickens made it 49-42 with 11:29 remaining, but the Huskers answered with a 6-0 spurt that included a pair of baskets

by Leslee Smith.

Maryland led 50-48 when Petteway was called for his fourth foul with 8:05 left. Two straight field goals by Shields knotted the score at 52 with 6:59 to go, setting the stage for the exciting finish.

Trimble scored 11 points and Wells had 10 to stake Maryland to a 3433 halftime lead.

Nebraska got 22 points from its bench, including 11 by Pitchford, to keep it close.

No. 7 Arizona 87, USC 57 Tucson, Ariz. — Kaleb Tarczewski scored 15 points, Stanley Johnson added 13 in another strong all-around game and No. 7 Arizona jumped on Southern California early in a rout.

Arizona (23-3, 11-2 Pac12) did what it was supposed to at home against the conference’s lastplace team, overwhelming the Trojans with a slew of dunks and easy baskets at the rim. The Wildcats led by 18 at halftime and didn’t let up to win their 35th straight home game.

Johnson had seven rebounds and six assists, and Tarczewski finished with 10 rebounds. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 12 points, and T.J. McCon-

Thunder 104, Mavericks 89 Oklahoma City — Russell Westbrook had 34 points and 10 assists to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.

Serge Ibaka had 21 points and a career-high 22 rebounds and reserve guard Anthony Morrow added 16 points for the Thunder, who won for the sixth time in seven games. They moved into a tie with Phoenix for eighth place in the Western Conference.

The Thunder rolled, despite getting just 12 points from Kevin Durant.

Dirk Nowitzki had 14 points and Tyson Chandler added 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Mavericks, who shot a seasonlow 36.3 percent from the field. Dallas point guard Rajon Rondo returned after missing six games with broken bones in his face. He finished with five points and six assists in 30 minutes.

The Thunder remained focused after a whirlwind day of trades. They sent talented backup point guard Reggie Jackson to Detroit and acquired Utah center Enes Kanter.
