Life without cable TV? It’s catching on

Plan afoot to close $700M in shortfalls Lawmakers already lining up tough cuts to stabilize budget ahead of January session

LINDSEY FRYE AND HER CHILDREN, 10-year-old Jaeden and 3-year-old Simone, browse through Netflix offerings Thursday at their home in East Lawrence. More and more families are turning away from traditional cable toward online services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime to watch television shows.

Cord-cutters have more options than ever

here are certain television experiences Lindsey Fallon misses since she ditched cable. For one, she said, “You can’t watch Saturday Night Live, live.”

But for the most part, the East Lawrence mom of two has found

that — if she has the patience to deal with a few Internet pop-up ads — a combination of other TVwatching options fills her needs.

There’s Netflix for the kids, “Sons of Anarchy” and other shows on Project Free TV and more on Amazon Prime.

“At first I gave up cable because I couldn’t afford it,” she said. “As

time has progressed, I just choose not to get cable.”

Frye is not alone.

Besides cord-cutters there are more and more “cord-nevers,” or people who never had cable and rely solely on digital services or network television, said Germaine Please see CABLE, page 2A

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback isn’t publicly ruling out any ideas for helping to close state budget shortfalls, leaving officials and lawmakers to speculate about the proposals he’s expected to roll out before the Legislature convenes next month.

The Republican governor’s administration is working on a plan to close combined shortfalls of more than $700 million in the current and next state budgets.

LEGISLATURE A few GOP legislators have talked about diverting money set aside for big highway projects or backtracking on aggressive personal income tax cuts enacted at Brownback’s urging in 2012 and 2013 in an effort to stimulate the economy.

The budget problems also could jeopardize increased funding for public employee pensions aimed at stabilizing the long-term Please see PLAN, page 2A

Lawrence pet owners worry over lack of after-hours services

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @Caitlin Doornbos

About a month ago, Kylee Manahan had a scare in the middle of the night when her Pekingese, Chien, decided he had a sweet tooth.

Manahan found Chien chowing down on some leftover chocolate Halloween candy and feared the worst. Knowing chocolate can be toxic to dogs, she called her veterinarian at Ani-

mal Hospital of Lawrence, 701 S. Michigan St., but there were not any doctors on call that evening.

“I didn’t have anyone to call in Lawrence,” Manahan said. “I needed to know what to do.”

An answering service at Animal Hospital directed her to call Blue Pearl Veterinary Hospital in Overland Park, which then told her they couldn’t advise her over the phone, Manahan said.

“As a 61-year-old, it didn’t make me a happy camper to drive K-10

— Kylee Manahan, Lawrence pet owner in the dark,” Manahan said, “but I wasn’t going to lose my dog over that.”

Just as she was set to leave, she found online that the amount of chocolate Chien consumed

wasn’t enough to harm the little guy. Still, she said she wishes there was an emergency veterinarian in Lawrence that could have answered her questions after hours.

“For small emergencies, that could have been handled in Lawrence,” Manahan said, “but nobody would take my call.”

While the town is stocked with about nine different veterinary clinics, Manahan’s clinic is among just three veterinary clinics in Lawrence to offer afterhours care, representatives of the clinics said.

health of the retirement system for teachers and government workers.

Legislators open their annual, 90-day session Jan. 12 — the same day Brownback begins a second, four-year term.

“We’ll be doing this in steps, but we hope to have something out pretty soon,” Brownback said. “You know what the pieces are, and we will get to a balanced budget.”

Here are some things to know about the budget debate:

The problem’s size Under the budget for the current fiscal year, which began in July, the state is committed to spending about $6.4 billion from its main bank account. The predicted shortfalls for the current and next fiscal year represent a combined gap of about 11 percent between spending commitments and anticipated revenues.

Looking to cut first Some of Brownback’s GOP allies in the state Senate have discussed proposals for modifying income tax laws to pick up revenues, by slowing future promised cuts in rates or accelerating the planned phase-out of some deductions. But House Speaker Ray Merrick, a conservative Stilwell Republican, suggest-

after hours and said the 30-minute drive to Overland Park isn’t much different than the time it would take her to wake up, get dressed and drive to her clinic.

But Jennifer Stone, Lawrence Humane Society medical director and staff veterinarian, said in certain circumstances that half-hour is crucial.

“It would be great (to have a 24-hour veterinary hospital) because Blue Pearl is 30 minutes away and that can be the difference between life and death,” Stone said.

Stone said an emergency hospital would also come in handy for pet owners who do not have a veterinarian, as non-clients have a more difficult time getting an unknown doctor to help during off-hours.

“It would be very nice for those who haven’t established a relationship with a veterinarian,” Stone said.

Jarrett agreed that there is “absolutely a

need” for a 24-hour, full-service veterinary hospital in Lawrence.

That’s because, just like humans, animals in medical situations that warrant immediate care need an emergency room setting with specialized doctors accustomed to treating urgent patients.

“Blue Pearl is fully staffed, 24-hours a day instead of doctors at home in their beds,” Jarrett said. “Animals in need of emergency care need doctors used to working more specifically in emergency situations.”

But with the emergency room setting comes the emergency room price, Blue Pearl spokeswoman Georgia Flood said. Flood said she encourages all pet owner to purchase pet insurance, just in case.

“It’s a hard thing when you have a pet and it becomes part of the family,” Flood said.

“Just like a human, you want to be prepared for the worst.”

ed such talk is premature.

“As things progress, we’ll see what happens, but I still think we spend too much,” Merrick told reporters. “I’m a little confused that you’d come out making those suggestions on the front end and not look at spending first.”

projects would get done.

Where the money is When legislators and other state officials talk about cutting spending from the state’s main bank account, the focus inevitably turns to aid for public schools, higher education and social services, because those three areas account for nearly 90 percent of it in the current budget.

Aid to public schools is the biggest item, $3.3 billion, or 51 percent, with higher education spending at $794 million, or 12 percent. Social service agencies’ spending approaches $1.7 billion, or 26 percent.

Highway funds Past governors and legislators have regularly diverted transportation funds projects to cover shortfalls in the state’s main bank account because road and bridge projects are financed from a separate account. The state started a 10-year, $8 billion transportation program in 2010.

Some legislators want to reconsider the program’s funding, but Brownback promised during his re-election campaign that promised

Democratic help?

Republicans will have majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 97-28 in the House once lawmakers reconvene, and a bipartisan plan for closing the budget shortfall seems unlikely.

Democrats blame the tax cuts championed by Brownback for the state’s budget problems and appear prepared to let the GOP wrestle with potentially unpopular solutions for a while.

Incoming House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, a Kansas City Democrat, said his party’s lawmakers will work to find common ground on budget issues but added, “We look to the governor to provide a way out of this.”

Pension funding The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System faces a projected $9.8 billion gap between its anticipated revenues and commitments for retirement benefits into 2033, but legislation enacted in 2012 is expected to erase the shortfall by then. But part of the solution was boosting the state’s contributions to the pension system by the state — by $52 million in the next budget year.

“That increase there just puts pressure on other points in the budget,” said Alan Conroy, the pension system’s executive director. “I’m sure KPERS will be under review.”

KU study: Blue lights at intersections cut violations

An evergreen event

By Cassidy Ritter Twitter: @CassidyRitter

years ago. His competitive running started with 5K races, and he trained for and completed his first marathon two years ago. With that goal accomplished, Hoffman started searching for a greater challenge. He found the Wichita-based Epic Ultra, which puts on ultramarathons, including the race in Ottawa.

Finding a race was just the start. The next step was researching how to prepare himself to run that distance. Hoffman first reached out to his old high school coach and the man behind all those BHS cross country state titles, Mike Spielman.

In July 2013, Lawrence police and Kansas University researchers began a traffic safety experiment at two Lawrence intersections.

They installed blue lights at 23rd and Iowa and 23rd and Louisiana streets.

The blue lights, an addition to the existing red, green and yellow, were designed to help police see and catch red-light runKANSAS ners. The goal was to UNIVERSITY change the behavior of drivers over time.

The findings are in, and the lights do seem to have had some effect on redlight running at the intersections.

The university studied the lights for three months and found a 42 percent reduction in red-light running for left turns at the two intersections, said Steven Schrock, an associate professor in KU’s Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering.

“Before everything started we had about 11 instances of red light running for every 10,000 vehicles entering the intersection in the morning,” Schrock said. “In the evening, it jumped to 21 per 10,000 entering vehicles.”

Three months after the blue traffic lights were installed, the numbers had dropped from 11 to five per 10,000 vehicles in the morning and from 21 to 16 in the evening, Schrock said.

After 50-mile run, Baldwin City marathoner prepares for longer, more challenging races

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @LJWorld

Justin Hoffman says people respond to his next goal as an ultramarathon runner much as they did his most recent one.

“People say I’m crazy, and then they ask, ‘Why?’” he said.

It is puzzling why someone willingly would run what is basically the distance of Baldwin City to Topeka. For Hoffman, it was a test to find his limits.

“I like to push myself to find out what I’m capable of,” he said. “You really find out what kind of a person you are when

you train for a race like that — how tough you are and how serious you are.”

On Oct. 30, Hoffman completed a 50mile ultramarathon, running from Ottawa to Garnett and back on the Prairie Spirit Trail. He finished in 10.5 hours, placing 21st out of 80 runners.

He was on cross country teams in high school in the mid- and late 1990s, when Baldwin High School was first establishing itself as the most successful 4A cross country school in the state. He had some good junior varsity times, but he was never good enough to crack the varsity team, Hoffman said.

He got back into running about five

Wichita pastor threatened after performing same-sex weddings Wichita (ap) — A Wichita pastor who performs same-sex weddings is growing increasingly frightened by death threats directed at her and members of her church, especially since she officiated at a ceremony for 15 same-sex couples last month on the Sedgwick County Courthouse steps.

Runner CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“I talked with him about building mental strength,” Hoffman said. “He was great about advice to build that up, Take it one step, or in this case, one mile at a time, and not let negative thoughts come in.”

Spielman recommended Hoffman study how the Navy SEALs build mental strength for their rigorous training and missions. Hoffman said he spent hours reading a book on the topic.

Mental strength doesn’t go far without the proper physical preparation.

Hoffman said he started training in late winter for the race with a book on training for ultramarathons as his guide.

“I was averaging running 50 to 60 miles a week,” he said. “At my peak training, I got up to 80 miles a week. My longest training run was 30 miles about a month before the race.

That made me nervous because there’s 20 miles’ difference between 30 miles and 50 miles.”

He nonetheless cut back, because there was too much risk of injury from a longer training run, Hoffman said.

All that running required a considerable time commitment. Due to his job as a paraprofessional at Baldwin Elementary School Primary Center, he had extra free time in the summer, but he did have to make adjustments so that training didn’t take away from time with his wife, Julie, and sons Mason, 5, and Jason, 7.

“She was really supportive,” Hoffman said of

Lights CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

At a typical intersection, an officer has to be facing the traffic signal to see when it turns red and catch a light runner. The blue light is visible from all directions and turns on when the traffic light turns red, allowing police to see from any direction whether a driver made it through on yellow or blew the red light long after it turned.

Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said there were some benefits to the officers having the lights in place, but a few problems were also found.

McKinley said a benefit was that the lights give officers flexibility as to where they position themselves to observe violators and sometimes provide a safer location to enter traffic and stop a violator.

“One problem we found with those installed on the two test intersections was the blue light was not situated in the highest point above

his wife. “On a lot of my long training runs, she would pick me up when I finished, or bring me water or bananas on the route. She was my crew chief for the race. She was a great part of the team.”

Although she did come around, Julie Hoffman said her first reaction wasn’t much different than that of others.

“At first, I thought he was crazy,” she said. “But, I know how much he loves running. I knew he could do it if he did the training.”

To minimize time away from family, he began his long runs in the early morning hours, heading out with a forehead headlamp, clothing adorned with reflective tape and a flashing light on his back.

“On many of my training runs, I left at 2 or 3 in the morning because I coached my son’s soccer team at 8 a.m.,” he said.

“My biggest fear was of being hit from behind by a vehicle, but I never had any problems other than sidestepping a few skunks and snakes.

“There’s not much traffic at 3 in the morning.

One time, I ran 8 miles on U.S. 56 and only had one car pass me.”

As might be expected, the race was tough despite the training, and Hoffman admits the idea of quitting entered his mind.

“Those thoughts did come to me,” he said. “I have never hurt so much in my life. I had to continue to tell myself how long and hard I’d worked to get to that day. I had to remember all Coach Spielman had told me about how to dig deep and finish the race.

“Once I reached mile 45, I realized it was going to happen and sailed to the signal in question,” McKinley said. “Thus, officers were not able to have a full 360-degree view of the blue light, which provided to be a limitation.”

The blue traffic lights remain in place at 23rd and Louisiana streets, but not at 23rd and Iowa streets.

Schrock said that after that intersection was rebuilt this year, the geometry of the intersection changed too much for the lights to be reinstalled.

Schrock said he thinks there is an advantage to using the blue traffic lights.

“For something like this you think of it as a tool in the tool box as things to reduce red-light running or safety at intersections in general,” Schrock said.

“So like any tool there is the right time and place to use it.”

The university sent its findings to the MidAmerica Transportation Center at the University of Nebraska and to Lawrence Traffic Engineer David Woosley at the end of November. The transportation center has plans to publish the report on its website.

2 arrested in string of car burglaries Two Lawrence men were arrested Saturday in connection with 15 recent auto burglaries, according to Lawrence police.

Darrell Allen Lipp, 23, and William Harold Gibson, 22, both of Lawrence, were arrested at the intersection of North Third Street and North Street about 5 p.m. Saturday, Sgt. Craig Shanks said.

Six of the 15 burglaries took

place Friday night, Shanks said. Items taken from the vehicles included loose change and sunglasses, Shanks said, adding it was unclear whether the cars were locked.

Lipp’s bond was set at $11,000, and Gibson’s bond was set at $12,000, according to the Douglas County Jail booking log.

Both men were still in custody Saturday night.

Helping was his wife, who brought encouragement with water and food, Hoffman said. Also providing aid and comfort were Baldwin City running friends Kasey Wright and Robby Giffin, who were allowed to run with him for sections of the second half of the race.

Julie Hoffman said their boys understand what the accomplishment meant to their father, having watched him battle his way to the finish line.

“I think they do,” she said. “They were really excited when he crossed the finish line. When I got them up early in the morning to take him food and water, they didn’t like

that. But they were always excited when the saw him.

They ran with him for a while a couple of times.”

Having completed a 50mile marathon, Hoffman is intrigued by the idea of testing himself further.

“I’m asking myself again, ‘What now?’” he said. “I’m looking at a 100-miler next October. It would have a 28-hour time limit. I would be on my feet running all day. We’ll see. I’ll continue to run this winter and see how it goes.”

the department’s ability to investigate is limited because the callers have been anonymous and no phone numbers show up on the church’s caller ID. Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer called the threats unacceptable and said he would discuss the matter with police to get more details.

“It’s our responsibility and law enforcement’s responsibility to protect everybody’s rights and no one, no one, should ever be threatened on anything, whether it be death threats or any other type of physical threats,” Brewer said.

Terry Fox, a conservative Wichita pastor who has led activism against same-sex marriage, called the threats against Carter despicable.

He said he also has received death threats in the past because of his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Kerry Wilks, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban and a member of Carter’s church, said most of the people she talks to underestimate the prejudice that gay and lesbian people face regularly.

“I think sometimes people get lulled into complacency and think, ‘No, that’s too far off, that won’t happen,’” Wilks said.

Ruff House Art makes stationery the old-fashioned way I

t is not often you find a new company that builds its business around an early 1900s piece of equipment, but that is indeed what’s going on with a new venture in downtown Lawrence.

Could it finally be that my dream of a steampowered downtown party bus has become a reality? (Slogan: Come party with the Steam Team.) Umm, no. The piece of equipment I’m talking about is an old 1915 letterpress that is a centerpiece of Ruff House Art, a new stationery and gift store in downtown Lawrence.

Ruff House Art opened just a few days ago in the spot formerly occupied

by Lids, 729 Massachusetts St. The store sells handmade stationery, invitations, greeting cards and a host of other such items that it either makes or buys from a group of about 50 other letterpress artisans across the the country. You can find calendars, wrapping paper, ribbons, bows and paper plates, and the company has an entire section devoted to wedding invitations.

The husband and wife duo of Jill and Brian Shephard run Ruff House Art, and they’ve been in business since 2009. But this new location represents their first storefront. Previously, they operated the business out

of their Lawrence home and sold their items predominately online.

Jill said she feels like now is the time to expand the business because there has been a renewed interest in fine cards and stationery. She said the Internet, of all things, has helped spark the interest. She said as email, text messages and other forms of electronic and impersonal communication have taken hold, some folks have grown to appreciate a more personal touch.

“There are people out there who really appreciate a nice piece of paper,” Jill said.

The company operates two letterpresses: a 1915 Chandler & Price model and a newer 1950s machine, that are on display for customers to see.

The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. l l l

of duplexes. But several of you apparently have forgotten that because questions abound about what’s going on at the curve. (Or maybe you’re just asking how my Ford Taurus can keep its wheels on going sideways — you really should ask the driver.)

Regardless, I’ve got an update on the development. Longtime Lawrence real estate executive Mike McGrew is a partner in the project, and he said he hopes to have 10 to 12 duplexes under construction at the site soon. The work you’ve seen at the site has been for the streets and other infrastructure.

Overall, McGrew said the development would have about 130 townhomes, which equates to about 65 structures with two living units apiece.

McGrew said the development will include a mix of rental units and units for sale. He is partnering with Lawrence-based Grand Builders. McGrew anticipates it will take about

Gas prices continue nationwide drop Camarillo, Calif. (ap) — A national survey reveals the average price of regular gasoline has plunged another 12 cents a gallon over the past two weeks, to $2.72.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that the decline continues a nationwide trend.

Lundberg says lower crude oil prices are continuing to drive prices down, along with an abundant oil supply and

the rising value of the U.S. dollar.

The highest-priced gas in the Lower 48 states was found in San Francisco at $3.04 a gallon. The lowest was in Albuquerque at $2.38 a gallon.

California’s lowest average was in Sacramento, $2.80 a gallon.

The average price for midgrade gas in the U.S. is $2.96. For premium it’s $3.12.

For first time since recession, job market sees hiring surge Washington (ap) — Look past the booming November job gain of 321,000 reported Friday — the best figure in three years in the strongest year for hiring since 1999.

The job market has reached a new milestone on its road to full health: For the first time since the Great Recession ended 5 years ago, America’s unemployed are now as likely to be hired as to stop looking for a job.

It means that employers have grown confident enough to fill more job vacancies. And it means the unemployed are now less likely to succumb to frustration.

The hiring surge owes much to solid consumer spending — on items like cars, electronics and restaurant meals. That, in turn, has given businesses the means to step up investment in machinery, computers and facilities.

Thanks to such spending, the economy grew

Thanks to (robust consumer spending), the economy grew at a 4.3 percent annual pace from April through September — the healthiest six-month spurt since 2003.

at a 4.3 percent annual pace from April through September — the healthiest six-month spurt since 2003. Employers have responded by adding a robust average of 241,000 jobs a month this year.

For each month, the government estimates the proportion of the unemployed who found work and the proportion who stopped looking. In November, 23 percent of people who were out of work the previous month found jobs, and the same percentage gave up looking.

That was the highest percentage of the unemployed to find work in any month since the recession ended in June 2009. A year ago, fewer than 19 percent

of the unemployed were finding jobs.

The increase marks the first such sustained improvement since the recession ended. This year’s acceleration in hiring has been potent enough to finally soak up a significant proportion of the jobless.

During the first four years of the recovery, businesses had hired at a rate that was merely enough to keep up with population growth.

One sour note amid the improving outlook: The jobless are likelier now to land only part-time work.

Though the economy has regained all the jobs lost during the recession, there are still nearly 2 million fewer people with full-time work.

three years to fully build out the development.

The project will include some changes to the Kasold Curve.

The city is requiring a left-turn lane to make it easier for motorists to enter the development.

In addition to the townhomes, the site includes a site for the Lawrence Wesleyan Church, which purchased 33 acres at the corner in 2009, and then sold about 19 acres to the McGrew development.

The church will be built on property just west of the houses, but a timeline for that project is less certain.

The residential building market has been slow in Lawrence this year, but McGrew said he thinks the time is near for activity to start picking up again.

“I’ve been watching the national statistics, and they show that even at a million new units a year, we’re still undershooting the household formation rate by about 500,000,” McGrew said. “That is why there have been a lot of apartments. I think there are a lot of people in apartments who would rather be in houses.”

l l l

Perhaps in the future I will be able to abandon my regular Tuesday evening meal of Mountain Dew and cocoa beans. I may not have to stay up so late to watch Lawrence City Commission meetings. City Commissioner Terry Riordan says he wants to have a discussion about starting City Commission meetings earlier. Meetings currently start at 6:35 p.m. on Tuesdays, and it is not uncommon for them to last past 10 p.m.

Commissioners over the years have expressed concern that they make some some pretty important decisions late at night. I’ve witnessed bleary-eyed commissioners making multimillion dollar decisions near midnight. A few times such marathon meetings have taken place following a Tuesday afternoon study session, meaning commissioners and city staff have been at it for seven hours or more. (I have my meeting notes to prove it.

Granted, they simply read “must get career counseling, must get career counseling . . . ) But commissioners

have been reluctant to start meetings earlier because they are concerned members of the public may have a hard time getting off work to make it to a commission meeting.

Riordan has suggested an idea of starting the ceremonial portion of the City Commission meetings at 5:30 p.m. Before you get the wrong idea, they don’t walk around with scepters and gold-leaf copies of the City Code, or anything like that. (Not on Tuesday nights, anyway.) But the meetings do routinely include proclamations and other such ceremonial recognitions.

Riordan’s idea is that those could take place at 5:30 p.m., since they don’t normally generate much public comment. The city wouldn’t start its regular business meeting prior to 6 p.m. Other commissioners said they were open to the idea, but want to hear more feedback from the public.

I suspect the city will seek some public comment on the idea in the near future, then make a decision.

Downtown grocer Bringing a full grocery store back to downtown Lawrence may require some innovative thinking.

I

t’s been quite a while since anyone tried to build a grocery store in downtown Lawrence, so it’s not surprising that such a plan would present some new wrinkles for city officials.

Jim Lewis, an owner of the local Checkers grocery store, confirmed last week that he was working to make a grocery store part of a new development at the corner of 11th and Massachusetts Street. The grocery store would occupy about 20,000 square feet on the ground floor of what currently is envisioned as a seven-story building that also would include office space on the second floor and apartments on the top five floors.

As happens with about any new downtown development, parking will be an issue. Lewis said adequate parking is essential to the success of the new store and he is asking city officials to consider dedicating 18 angled parking spaces on the east side of Massachusetts Street and 16 new angled spaces that would be built along 11th Street for grocery store customers. The project also will include a four-story parking garage to serve the grocery store as well as the office and apartment tenants.

The parking request is on Tuesday’s City Commission agenda, but it’s unlikely commissioners would do more than refer the request to city staff for further study. It will, however, give commissioners an opportunity to react to the idea, which will give Lewis and the developers of the overall project an idea whether the city is open to exploring the unusual parking proposal.

Enforcing non-metered on-street parking for a new store would be challenging, but new ideas sometimes require new strategies. Parking might have been easier at the former Borders location at Seventh and New Hampshire, but Lewis indicated that negotiations to locate a store at that site have stalled. The developers of the 11th Street project turned their attention to the grocery store idea after being unable to close a deal with a national drug store chain.

This project is far from a done deal, and city officials need to take time to gather input from residents and other downtown businesses in the area about the parking issue. The entire sevenstory project also will be the subject of reviews that will include looking at its potential impact on three neighboring structures on the Lawrence Register of Historic Places: the Douglas County Courthouse, Watkins Museum of History and the English Lutheran Church, which now houses law offices.

The return of a full grocery store to downtown Lawrence has been on the wish list for some time for residents of downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. The existence of such a store is seen as a key element to attracting and supporting the kind of residential development that would maintain the vitality of downtown Lawrence. It’s a new idea that requires some new thinking. City officials should see what they can work out.

Progressivism a drag on U.S. economy Washington — Intellectually undemanding progressives, excited by the likes of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

— advocate of the downtrodden and the Export-Import Bank — have at last noticed something obvious: Big government, which has become gargantuan in response to progressives’ promptings, serves the strong. It is responsive to factions sufficiently sophisticated and moneyed to understand and manipulate its complexity.

Hence Democrats, the principal creators of this complexity, receive more than 70 percent of lawyers’ political contributions. Yet progressives, refusing to see this defect — big government captured by big interests — as systemic, want to make government an ever-more muscular engine of regulation and redistribution. Were progressives serious about what used to preoccupy America’s left — entrenched elites, crony capitalism and other impediments to upward mobility — they would study “The New Class Conflict,” by Joel Kotkin, a lifelong Democrat.

The American majority that believes life will be worse for the next few decades — more than double the number who believe things will be better — senses that 95 percent of income gains from 2009-12 went to

the wealthiest 1 percent. This, Kotkin believes, reflects the “growing alliance between the ultra-wealthy and the instruments of state power.” In 2012, Barack Obama carried eight of America’s 10 wealthiest counties.

In the 1880s, Kotkin says, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s railroad revenues were larger than the federal government’s revenues. That was the old economy. This is the new: In 2013, the combined ad revenues of all American newspapers were smaller than Google’s; so were magazine’s revenues. In 2013, Google’s market capitalization was six times GM’s, but Google had one-fifth as many employees.

The fortunes of those Kotkin calls “the new Oligarchs” are based “primarily on the sale of essentially ephemeral goods: media, advertising and entertainment.”

He calls another ascendant group “the Clerisy,” which is based in academia (where there are now many more administrators and staffers than full-time instructors), media,

the nonprofit sector and, especially, government: Since 1945, government employment has grown more than twice as fast as America’s population.

The Founders worried about government being captured by factions; they did not foresee government becoming society’s most rapacious and overbearing faction.

The Clerisy is, Kotkin says, increasingly uniform in its views, and its power stems from “persuading, instructing and regulating the rest of society.” The Clerisy supplies the administrators of progressivism’s administrative state, the regulators of the majority that needs to be benevolently regulated toward progress.

The Clerisy’s policies include dense urban living as a “sustainable” alternative to suburbia, and serving environmentalism by consuming less. Hence the sluggish growth and job creation since the recession ended in June 2009 — aka the “new normal” — do not seriously disturb the Clerisy. It preaches what others — including the 43 percent of non-collegeeducated whites who consider themselves downwardly mobile — are supposed to practice. The result, Kotkin says, is a “more stratified, less permeable social order,” as well as today’s “plutonomy,” an economy fueled by the spending of the relatively few

people who guaranteed that luxury brands did best during the recession.

In New York, an incubator of progressivism, Kotkin reports, the “wealthiest 1 percent earn a third of the entire city’s personal income — almost twice the proportion for the rest of the country.” California, a one-party laboratory for progressivism, is home to 111 billionaires and the nation’s highest poverty rate (adjusted for the cost of living). One study shows that young Californians are less likely to become college graduates than their parents were. “The state’s ‘green energy’ initiatives,” Kotkin observes, “supported by most tech and many financial Oligarchs, have raised electricity rates well above the national average, making it difficult for firms in traditional fields like manufacturing, fossil fuels, agriculture or logistics.” California is no longer a destination for what Kotkin calls “aspirational families”: In 2013, he says, Houston had more housing starts than all of California.

In 2010, there were 27 million more Americans than in 2000 — but fewer births, a reflection, surely, of what Kotkin calls “the end of intergenerational optimism.”

The political future belongs to those who will displace the progressive Clerisy’s objectives with an agenda of economic growth.

Diversity benefits higher education

By Kent McCarthy

When I first told people I was giving up a successful career in investment to teach at my alma mater, most scratched their heads. I understood their confusion. But while it can be hard to see what these two worlds have in common, for me it’s simple: They’re both markets. At my company, Jayhawk Capital Management, I worked in financial markets; at the University of Kansas, I entered the marketplace of ideas.

Everyone knows the first rule of investing is “diversify, diversify, diversify.”

Over the long run, it leads to optimal outcomes. Or as investors put it, higher ROI. The same is true for an academic McCarthy institution. For the best results, we need diversity — scholars, programs, and research centers with a broad range of perspectives, insights, and experience.

Consistent with donor intent in charitable giving everywhere, higher education donors must be allowed to consider all the programs available and support those they believe create the most value for the institution and society as a whole.

That’s what Tom Steyer, a friend of mine and former Stanford Business School classmate, did when deciding to give to Stanford University (and to various climate change causes). And it’s what a donor does when supporting a medical institution and stipulating the dollars go to cancer research.

In a free society, no one would criticize their right to do so.

Of course, some donors are more forthright than others about how institutions they support spend their dollars. Michael Bloomberg recently

YOUR TURN criticized Harvard (where he obtained his MBA and endowed a professorship) and other Ivy League schools for repressing conservative ideas on campus. Said Bloomberg, “You have to wonder whether students are being exposed to the diversity of views that a great university should offer.”

KU is a great university, where academic freedom is embraced. It’s where I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting and taxation — and where I contributed $250,000 to set up an Applied Portfolio Management class at the KU School of Business back in 1993.

While teaching, I brought in more than 75 guest speakers to address the class. President Obama’s secretary of Commerce, Penny Pritzker, was one.

Bob Ceremsak, who works at Tom Steyer’s hedge fund, was another. All had different backgrounds, economic philosophies and investment styles. But it was this diversity that helped explain the course’s popularity and success.

My wife and I feel strongly about contributing to both KU athletics and academics. When we donated to the new basketball apartment complex, it was because we felt strongly about recognizing the prestige that basketball generates for the university.

On the academic side, we feel strongly the best way to eradicate poverty in Kansas, the U.S., and the world is to promote a free society in which we succeed by creating value for others — and that collectivism only creates hopelessness, poverty and despair. Others will disagree, and we welcome the debate.

That’s what an academic institution should be all about. As Bloomberg said, it’s what a great university should offer.

For these reasons, we are excited to support KU’s Center for Applied Economics,

which embraces diversity of views, provides high-quality economics education and promotes the principles that can increase the well-being of all Kansans and help them improve their lives.

So I am upset, but not surprised, at the recent controversy surrounding the center over the fact that fellow funders include Wichita industrialists and philanthropists Charles and David Koch.

With cuts to public funding for higher education in Kansas, we should welcome, not castigate, private philanthropists prepared to help. Collaborative partnerships can expand the marketplace of ideas, and KU’s Center for Applied Economics is an outstanding example of just that. Academic freedom and diversity are not advanced by silencing another voice, another opinion, but by encouraging more.

In light of the Koch funding, several people — friends, family, professors, university officials — advised us to disassociate from the Kochs. We refused.

Koch Industries has created a lot of value for Kansas. And while Charles Koch and I might disagree about all kinds of things (not least the relative merits of KU and Wichita State basketball), we are in complete agreement about these two: respect for donor intent and freedom of thought.

As a KU School of Business board member and donor, I am proud to stand with the Kochs and other philanthropists, and for the principle of free and open academic inquiry. Only with freedom can we, as Kansans, expand opportunity, encourage diversity, and fully engage in the marketplace of ideas.

Last month’s sensational story used Jackie’s case as an example of what it called a culture of sexual violence hiding in plain sight at UVA, one of the nation’s leading public universities. The story claimed that too many people on the Charlottesville, Va., campus put protecting the school’s image and their own reputations above seeking justice for sex crimes.

The allegations rocked the campus and elevated the issue of sexual assault, leading to protests, a suspension of fraternity activities and an emergency Board of Visitors meeting.

Dana’s updated message added some details calling into question the magazine’s original story. He noted that Phi Kappa Psi has denied the assault, and said it didn’t host an event on the night Jackie alleged she was raped. And Dana said that Jackie is now unsure that the man who

allegedly lured her into a room to be gang-raped by seven men, identified as “Drew,” was a member of Phi Kappa Psi. “According to the Washington Post, ‘Drew’ actually belongs to a different fraternity and when contacted by the paper, he denied knowing Jackie,” Dana wrote in the new note. “Jackie told Rolling Stone that after she was assaulted, she ran into ‘Drew’ at a UVA pool where they both worked as lifeguards.

In its statement, the Phi Psi says none of its members worked at the pool in the fall of 2012.” Dana also cited the Post’s account of several of Jackie’s friends doubting her “narrative,” although Jackie told the Post she stood by the account she gave to Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone didn’t immediately respond Sunday when contacted

by The Associated Press about when the clarification was issued.

Syria reports 2 Israeli airstrikes

Obama: Patience key No ties to terror cells when fighting racism in Dubai stabbing

Damascus, Syria — Israeli warplanes bombed two areas near Damascus on Sunday, striking near the city’s international airport as well as outside a town close to the Lebanese border, the Syrian military said.

Since Syria’s conflict began in March 2011, Israel has carried out several airstrikes in Syria that have targeted sophisticated weapons systems, including Russianmade anti-aircraft missiles and Iranian-made missiles, believed to be destined for Israel’s arch foe — the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group.

Israel has never confirmed the strikes, and on Sunday the Israeli military said it does not comment on “foreign reports.”

The Syrian armed forces’ general command said Sunday’s “flagrant attack” caused material damage, but did not provide any details on what was hit near the airport or in the town of Dimas, which is northwest of Damascus along the main highway from the capital to the Lebanese frontier.

Washington — President Barack Obama is prescribing time and vigilance to tackle problems as entrenched in American society as racism and bias.

He also is urging patience, saying progress usually comes in small steps.

In an interview with BET, the president described his conversation with a group of young civil rights activists, including a leader of protests in Ferguson, Mo., he hosted last week in the Oval Office.

America has made gains, and that “gives us hope” of making more progress, he said.

“We can’t equate what is happening now to what was happening 50 years ago,” Obama said, “and if you talk to your parents, grandparents, uncles, they’ll tell you that things are better, not good in some places, but better.”

The full interview is set to air tonight. A video excerpt was released Sunday.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates — The woman accused of stabbing to death an American teacher in a public restroom at an Abu Dhabi mall last week was carrying out a “lone terrorist act,” a security official in the United Arab Emirates said Sunday.

“Nothing so far suggests that the accused has links with terrorist organizations,” said the unnamed official, who was quoted by the official UAE news agency.

The official said initial investigations and evidence show that the Emirati woman, who also planted a bomb outside an American doctor’s home, learned how to manufacture explosives from websites affiliated with terrorist organizations.

The homemade bomb was located and defused by police shortly after the stabbing.

The suspect’s foreign targets appear to have been selected randomly, the official said.

Washington (ap) — Rolling Stone has clarified its apology over a story that had reported a female student was gangraped at a University of Virginia fraternity, telling readers the mistakes were the magazine’s fault, not the alleged victim’s.

That’s a shift from the original note to readers, issued Friday, when it said of Jackie, the woman who claimed to have been gang-raped at a Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, “Our trust in her was misplaced.” The updated note removes that line, which struck some critics as blaming the victim.

The magazine said that it shouldn’t have agreed to Jackie’s request not to contact the alleged assailants to get their side of the story, out of sensitivity to her. “These mistakes are on Rolling Stone, not on Jackie,” wrote the magazine’s managing editor, Will Dana. “We apologize to anyone who was affected by the story and we will continue to investigate the events of that evening.” The decision not to contact the alleged rapists prompted criticism from other news organizations.

KANSAS WOMEN 62, NO. 10 CALIFORNIA 39

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas coach hitting ground running Newly hired David Beaty and his mostly new coaching staff, which hasn’t yet been announced, enter an exciting time, and they’ll need every ounce of adrenaline to recover so much lost time in recruiting.

Good news already has come in. Michael Mathis, the 6-foot-2 juco defensive back who covers like a shutdown cornerback, tackles like a middle linebacker and was recruited by Dave Campo, reportedly remains solid. Bishop Miege quarterback Ryan Willis appears solidly committed as well.

More potential good news, even if it’s of the long-shot variety: Some Nebraska commitments reopened their recruitments after the firing of Bo Pelini.

Elsewhere, UAB dropped its football program last week. Nothing indicates that Kansas has joined the long line of schools knocking on the door of juniorto-be Jordan Howard, a 6-2, 228-pound running back who rushed for 1,587 yards and 13 touchdowns, but why not give it a shot? Wisconsin, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Louisville and Boise State reportedly want him.

Here’s guessing Beaty will be able to recruit a quality staff filled with energetic recruiters who know how to make players better. Why? Because he’s not a jerk. Unlike many head coaches, he won’t make a really tough life that much tougher for assistants just for the joy of it. The next challenge regarding the staff will be developing it, setting the right tone so that assistants work tirelessly, efficiently and with 100 percent follow-through, knowing there will be consequences if they don’t.

That’s new territory at the college level for Beaty.

He last headed a staff at MacArthur High in Irving, Texas (2002-05). Beaty went 33-11 in four seasons at MacArthur, which went 22-20 in its next four years.

Regardless of how much ground the new staff can make up recruiting the next couple of months, 2015 has a shot at shaping up as KU’s least-talented roster since Glen Mason took over in advance of a 1-10 1988 season. Look for a shift from Charlie Weis’ juco-heavy approach to high schoolleaning recruiting classes.

Rare is the true freshman ready to compete in the Big 12.

Next season’s roster looks shy on depth at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive line, linebacker, punting and kicking. In short, everywhere, except for tight end. Beaty knows what he inherited, and Sheahon Zenger signed him to run a marathon, not a sprint. In the case of KU football, it’s going to require running a marathon at the pace of a sprint.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR FORWARD CHELSEA GARDNER (15) GATHERS FOR A SHOT over Cal’s Gabby Green after securing an offensive rebound during KU’s 62-39 rout of the Bears on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Gardner, Jayhawks stun Bears

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The past few days at Kansas University women’s basketball practices, coach Bonnie Henrickson might have used the words Reshanda and Gray as much as she did the words half-court and defense.

Her Jayhawks — particularly Chelsea Gardner — must have been sick of hear-

ing about Reshanda Gray, Cal’s All-America candidate, because they neutralized the senior forward Sunday evening at Allen Fieldhouse, launching them to a 62-39 upset victory over the No. 10 Golden Bears.

Henrickson painted Gray, who came to Lawrence averaging 22.6 points, as a monstrous force in the paint.

However, the Jayhawks (7-2) found a way to tame her: foul

trouble. The 6-foot-3 senior played just nine minutes in the first half as Kansas established a 36-20 lead at the break.

Before KU returned to the floor, Henrickson looked at her own star senior, Gardner, and said: “You can play with that kid.”

Gray finished with just 11 points and two rebounds in 21 minutes, and Gardner went for 22 points.

Even the promise of a fresh start in the second half didn’t last for Gray and previously unbeaten Cal (7-1). Gardner drew Gray’s third foul on a drive a little more than three minutes in. Less than a minute later, KU senior guard Asia Boyd boxed Gray out on the defensive glass to draw her fourth with 16:10 to go and KU leading by 16.

Beaty third intro in five years

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When David Beaty steps to the podium at 9:30 this morning to be introduced formally as Kansas University’s 38th head football coach, it will mark the sixth December day in the past 27 years the program has rolled out a new leader.

Of course, the rate at which KU has gone through

BAYLOR COACH ART BRILES SHRUGS as he discusses how Baylor and Big 12 co-champ TCU were left out of the College Football Playoff field.

football coaches in recent years has increased dramatically. Beaty will be the third head coach to take over at KU in the past five years, joining Turner Gill, who was introduced Dec. 14, 2009, and Charlie Weis, who first greeted the KU media on Dec. 9, 2011.

The previous three coaches lasted a combined 22 years. Glen Mason was introduced Dec. 31, 1987.

Terry Allen followed Ma-

son on Dec. 28, 1996, and Mark Mangino succeeded Allen on Dec. 4, 2001.

All three of those guys won more games during specific three-year stints of their KU careers than the program has won during the past five years (12-48 from 2009-14), and improving the win total was primary among the reasons Beaty was brought in to take the

falter late, fall 17-14 Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs got their must-win game off to a great start behind the versatility of Jamaal Charles.

Once the second half rolled around, the Chiefs fell flat and may have flat-lined their playoff hopes in the process.

Kansas City had two key turnovers and struggled to move the ball against Arizona’s defense in the second half, leading to a 17-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday that puts a big dent in the Chiefs’ playoff chances.

“We obviously need to do a better job, take care of our business,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“We had every opportunity to do that today and we didn’t get it accomplished.”

NBA Roundup

the game in desperate need of a win.

Once the dominant team in the NFC, Arizona (103) had gone into a tailspin, seemingly clinging to playoff hopes through a rash of injuries.

On the ropes, the Cardinals came through like they always seem to at home, rallying from a sluggish first half with a dominant defensive second 30 minutes to keep their place atop the NFC West.

Kerwynn Williams ran for 100 yards after being elevated from the practice squad on Thursday and Drew Stanton threw a touchdown pass for Arizona, which has won its most games since an 11-victory season in 1925.

“I ain’t going to deny that we needed one big,” said Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, whose team is 7-0 at home, said of the victory.

The Chiefs (7-6) may have needed it more.

They were one of the NFL’s hottest teams just a few weeks ago on the heels of a five-game winning streak. A tough-totake loss to winless Oakland set Kansas City back and last week’s loss to Denver knocked the Chiefs out of the AFC West race, clinging to wild-card hopes.

The Chiefs got off to a good start against Arizona behind Charles, who was questionable after banging his knee against Denver.

He showed no ill effects against the Cardinals, racing for a 63-yard touchdown on Kansas City’s third play from scrimmage.

He went to the locker room after turning his ankle in the second quarter, but returned quickly to turn a short catch into an 18-yard touchdown that put the Chiefs up 14-6 at halftime.

Kansas City’s defense held its ground against Arizona in the first half, holding Arizona to a pair of field goals by Chandler Catanzaro, who also sent a 36-yarder off the upright to close out the first half.

After struggling early, Stanton started to find a rhythm late in the third quarter.

The winners will meet on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

A new era, indeed, but with the same old problems: What is the best way to pick the teams and what should be the criteria?

After six weeks of ranking teams, the selection committee shuffled its deck Sunday and dealt the Big 12 out of the playoff.

“We’re smarting today,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

play only 12 games, compared to 13 for champions of the other Big Five conferences.

Bowlsby and his conference athletic directors are meeting in New York this week and he anticipates the topic of how best to determine a champion will come up.

“This will be a catalyst for discussion for sure,” Bowlsby said.

The Big 12 can’t hold a championship game because it only has 10 teams, but the conference, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, is trying to change that. The leagues have proposed getting rid of NCAA rules requiring a conference have 12 teams split into two divisions to play a title game.

KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Self on hand for prep Newman’s show

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Blue-chip basketball prospect Malik Newman put on quite a show in front of Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self and Kentucky assistant Kenny Payne at Saturday’s Marshall County Hoop Fest in Benton, Kentucky.

The 6-foot-3 senior combo guard from Callaway High in Jackson, Mississippi, who is ranked No. 3 nationally by Rivals. com, scored 42 points off 15-of-29 shooting (4-for-9 from three, 8-for-12 from line) in Callaway’s 85-71 loss to Orangeville (Canada) Prep.

He finished four points shy of Monta Ellis’ record-setting 46-point performance set in 2004 at the festival. The No. 1 player in the Class of 2016, Thon Maker, had 19 points for Orangeville.

Newman, who is considering KU, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Mississippi, UConn, Texas A&M, North Carolina State and others, is expected to choose a school sometime in April.

By the time he decides, his recruitment figures to be as highly publicized as that of Andrew Wiggins’ two years ago.

“Newman’s true gift comes before he even puts up a shot. His quick-

ness and natural instincts make him nearly impossible to defend on the perimeter. He sizes up an opponent, finds a weakness and strikes immediately,” Ben Roberts of Kentucky.com wrote of Newman, who scored 35 points in Friday’s 76-65 loss to Archbishop Carroll of Pennsylvania.

“He’s got a lot of moves,” Callaway coach David Sanders told kentucky.com. “You can really throw anything at him and he’ll figure out a way to get past it. And the best part of his game is he doesn’t really know what he’s going to do. He’s just reacting to the defense.

He’s one of those rare

kids that can make any shot. And that’s hard to game plan for.”

Newman did not update reporters on his recruitment. “I choose not to speak on it,” he told Kentucky.com.

His dad, Horatio Webster, who is a former Mississippi State standout, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that his wife asked him last week where he thought Malik would go to school.

“I don’t have any idea,” was his answer. “We’re not even talking about it.”

Most expect him to visit KU sometime during the 2014-15 season.

“It (recruitment) is open to everybody right

now,” Malik told the Her- ald-Leader. “It gives everyone a chance to show ald-Leader. l what they have. They Bragg sensational: play hard.

“We knew we had to get Reshanda in foul trouble,” Boyd said, with a smile, “so I flopped a couple times.”

Declawing Gray had been a part of the game plan, for sure, but so was slowing the pace against the Golden Bears, who had averaged 90.3 points a game before losing to Kansas. Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb, whose team only scored four fastbreak points and made just six of its 33 secondhalf shots, called the game an “old-fashioned tail-whooping.”

“Everything they wanted to do,” Gottlieb said of the Jayhawks, “they did.”

Gardner, whose eight rebounds tied senior guard Natalie Knight for the team high, said all of Henrickson’s talk about Gray didn’t bother her. Actually, the whole coaching staff had been hard on the Jayhawks following a blowout loss to Notre Dame and an unimpressive showing against Incarnate Word in the previous seven days.

“We had to come here and bring our anger out on them,” Gardner said of the Bears, “and hit them from the start. That’s what we did.”

spite of a slow start from its star forward, who missed her first six shots before connecting on seven of her final 11. Immediately after drawing a charge and a second foul on Gray midway through the first half, Gardner knocked down a jumper that put her team up 15-10, and the Jayhawks never looked back.

Doha, Qatar — Lawrence High alumna Emma Reaney capped her international debut with a 14thplace finish in the 200-meter breaststroke, Sunday at the FINA Short Course World Championships.

“I had a lot of fun,” Reaney said.

City wrestlers win divisions

Leavenworth — Two city high school wrestlers took first place in their respective weight classes at the Leavenworth Challenger on Saturday afternoon.

Lawrence High junior Alan Clothier, the defending Class 6A state champion at 182 pounds, won all four of his matches to

Gardner (12 secondhalf points) and freshman guard Lauren Aldridge (eight of her 11 points came in the second) led the KU offense late, but the shooting of senior guards Knight (3-for-4 on three-pointers, nine points) and Boyd (3-for3 from deep, 13 points) proved crucial on a night Cal outscored Kansas 2410 in the paint.

“Chelsea demands a lot of attention down low,” said Boyd, who drilled a late-clock three while standing on the blue feathers of the mid-court Jayhawk logo in the second half, “and they’re gonna double, and they’re gonna bring help-side (defense).”

In a perfect storm of disaster for Cal, the team’s other standout, senior guard Brittany Boyd, missed 13 of her 18 shot attempts against Kansas and fouled out with just 12 points, with 4:33 left.

It all added up to a 24-percent shooting night for Cal, an upset win for the Jayhawks and the removal of a couple words from Henrickson’s vocabulary.

Not that the coach’s praises for Gray had made her own star forward jealous.

“Chelsea knows we all think she’s one of the best bigs in the country,” Henrickson said. “I don’t need to remind her of that today.”

baton from interim coach Clint Bowen in replacing Weis.

Details about just how Beaty plans to do that — from current and future recruiting plans to how he’ll build his coaching staff and spark interest in the program — will be revealed today and in the coming months, but those who have experience with Beaty in the past believe he’s the right guy to prevent KU from continuing to trend in the wrong direction.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s very capable of doing very well there at Kansas,” said former Rice AllAmerican receiver Jarett Dillard, who played for Beaty from 2006-07.

The reason? Dillard said Beaty’s pride and passion were second to none and added his former coach paid close attention to how programs were run around him.

“Every great coach has to start somewhere,” Dillard said. “And David Beaty has been around and learned from some great coaches at other programs.

He should get his opportunity, and the one there at Kansas is a great one.”

Mathis stays solid Kilgore Junior College cornerback Michael Mathis, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound three-star prospect, told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com that his commitment to KU was solid despite the Jayhawks’ change in leadership.

Mathis said he received a phone call from Beaty shortly after the announcement, and that was enough to keep him committed.

Mathis is expected to sign his letter of intent Dec. 17, during the mid-year signing period, and plans to report to Kansas in time for spring practices.

Mathis is one of 13 oral commitments in KU’s 2015 recruiting class, and Bowen and recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell said during the final few weeks of the season that the previous KU coaching staff had done a solid job of keeping those players committed to Kansas.

Mitchell said the fact that many of the commitments made their decisions because of their fondness for KU and not just a coach helped the staff keep the class together. take first place, and Free Bishop Miege quarterState High freshman Tate back Ryan Willis, who Steele also won all four his recently led the Stags to matches at the 106-pound a 13-0 season and a state weight class to finish in championship, was one first. of the first in the class to Lawrence’s Tucker commit to KU.

Dear Annie: My 88-year-old uncle is mentally ill. He is paranoid and suffers from extreme anxiety. He has refused mental help for years. His three grown children also have indications of mental illness.

It is difficult to be around “Uncle Joe” because he rants about nonsense and claims that everyone is doing something evil to him.

He writes books that make no sense, but expects us to read them.

Now that the holidays are approaching, my aunt (his sister) thinks Uncle Joe should be invited to all the family celebrations.

But, Annie, he ruins it for everybody. If you don’t listen and agree with him, he becomes quite threatening.

I think it is rather bossy of my aunt to expect my uncle to be in-

cluded in every family event. What can I do?

— Love My Uncle, But Dear Friend: Please don’t ostracize Uncle Joe from family gatherings because he is difficult. Try to understand that he is sick and cannot help the way he behaves. Yes, he should be getting professional help and should probably be on medication, but like many mentally ill people, he likely doesn’t believe he needs either.

His sister loves him

Sontag bio both smart and stylish Can a cerebral documentary also be a visual feast? “Regarding Susan Sontag” (8 p.m., HBO) recalls the essayist and critic who died in 2004.

They don’t make Susan Sontags any more. The very idea of a public intellectual, a deeply combative writer, who could also be considered a celebrity and even “sexy” seems to have died with the 20th century.

Like George Plimpton, recently profiled on PBS’ “American Masters,” Sontag set herself apart from her contemporaries by focusing on elements of popular culture considered beyond or beneath academic concern.

Plimpton brought a literary journalist’s approach to sports while Sontag wrote about gay camp imagery in Hollywood movies and popular culture.

She also explored B-movies and horror films and the ways that they reflected the crushing banality of consumer society combined with the unspoken dread of human extinction in an era still reeling from Hiroshima and the Holocaust.

For all of its emphasis on Sontag’s cerebral nature, “Regarding” is a gossipy film, often depicting her life as a string of lovers as much as a series of books and essays.

Documentaries live and die on the availability of imagery.

Sontag was among the most photographed writers of her time, and film and television footage abounds here — from a clip with Andy Warhol to a chat with Tom Brokaw on “Today.”

What sets “Regarding” apart is its dazzling use of photographs, collage and graphic artistry that blends image and text. ‘‘Regarding Susan Sontag” is a mesmerizing 100 minutes: thoughtful, provocative, juicy and, at times, beautiful.

Tonight’s other highlights

“The Fosters” (7 p.m., ABC Family) and “Switched at Birth” (8 p.m., ABC Family) unspool holiday episodes.

A premature explosion injures Sylvester on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

Sam recalls his father on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., CBS).

Unpleasant memories on “State of Affairs” (9 p.m., NBC).

A shooting victim’s past surfaces on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Rock singer-musician Gregg Allman is 67. Political commentator Ann Coulter is 53.

and wants to include him at these family events. Unless he is physically threatening, we are asking you to be tolerant of Uncle Joe and kind to your aunt.

These family gatherings don’t happen that often.

It doesn’t diminish you to nod politely in agreement with whatever Uncle Joe says and then turn your attention elsewhere. Please try.

Dear Annie: “James” and I were madly in love when I was 17 and he was 31. After eight years, we agreed to go our separate ways. He later married and has four children.

About 10 years ago, James sent me a letter and enclosed his wife’s obituary. She had passed away the previous year. We began corresponding.

After several months, James proposed and

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Dec. 8: This year others often have to step back and regroup when they have conversations with you, as you will be revealing more of your thought processes. You will like brainstorming with one person specifically. If you are single, the desire for a relationship becomes more prominent in your thoughts.

You will have the opportunity to meet two potentially great matches. Choosing might be fun or problematic, depending on your point of view. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to respect each other’s perspectives. The romance between you will improve as a result.

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) Information that heads your way will be clear and precise.

Tonight: Happily relax at home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Seek out more facts, but don’t discount some of the vague details you’ve already heard. Tonight: Catch up on emails.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be very forthright, but attaining clarity with a money matter might be tough.

Tonight: Stay calm.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could feel awkward when dealing with someone at a distance. Tonight: As you like it.

said he would hop on the next flight to be with me. I told him I was married (no children) and my husband had been diagnosed with leukemia. After that I stopped writing him.

James is now in his mid-80s, and I am 70.

My husband passed away a year ago. Deep down, I still have feelings for James. Should I contact him? How do I know whether his children will accept me in his life? — Still in Love Dear Still: There’s no reason not to contact James, but be prepared: He may have remarried since your last correspondence. Don’t worry about his children’s reaction. You can deal with that later.

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

jacquelinebigar.com

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) A conversation with a loved one could be more significant than you realize. Tonight: Live in the moment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be feeling a bit awkward with everything that is happening around you. Tonight: In the middle of the action.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Know what you want, and you will know the path on which to proceed. Tonight: Where the action is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know and understand much more than what you are sharing. Tonight: Play out a fantasy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a key person in your life. Tonight: A quiet dinner with a friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You would be wise not to push others. Tonight: Go along for the ride.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your focus continues to be work and on the end results.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your sense of direction is strong. You know how to prioritize and get a lot done. Tonight: A must appearance.
