KU names new A.D. ————

Sheahon Zenger to be introduced today Zenger

State health officer sets goals for 2011

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

The state health officer wants to reduce the demand for medical services: tests, doctors and hospitals.

That would mean Kansans were living healthier, more productive and longer lives. It also would relieve the growing burden of health care costs on taxpayers, insurance payers and everyone Part 10 in a series: else.

HEALTH “As a country, we’ve got a bigger burden than anyone else in the world in having to cover that cost, which is a sixth of our whole economy,” said Dr. Jason Eberhart-Phillips, also health director of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

The good news is that there’s a lot public health can do at the local and state levels to reduce

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR BERNADETTE GRAY-LITTLE watches the second half of the KU game against Miami of Ohio on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. Next to her is her husband, Shade Little, and behind them is Provost Jeffrey Vitter. KU on Sunday named Sheahon Zenger as the new athletic director; he will be formally introduced today. KU won the basketball game 83-56.

KU grad now has same post at Illinois State

KANSAS FANS CHEER during the first half of the game against Miami of Ohio. See more on the game in Sports. Page 1B.

Kansas University chose a man with deep local roots to be its next athletic director when it announced Sunday that Illinois State’s Sheahon Zenger has been hired and will be introduced today at a 1:30 p.m. press conference.

Zenger, born in Salina on April 13, 1966, received his undergraduate (1987, English and secondary education) and master’s (1992, journalism and mass communications) degrees from Kansas State and his Ph.D. from KU (1996, educational policy and leadership).

Zenger’s father, Weldon, also received a Ph.D. in education from KU while the family lived in Lawrence from 1968 to 1970.

“We lived in the little yellow house on

21st Street Terrace, with a wrought-iron fence on the little porch, and a big, old oak tree in the front,” Zenger said by phone Sunday night. “Those are my earliest memories. The house is still there and it’s still yellow. I drive by it every time I’m in Lawrence.”

Zenger said that he’s wearing a Gale Sayers jersey in his fourth-grade picture and that he wore the No. 10, in honor of Bobby Douglass, “everywhere I went until I got to junior high.”

“The first basketball game I ever saw was at Allen Fieldhouse and the first football game I ever saw, I saw from the hill (at Memorial Stadium),” Zenger said. “My dad and brother got in for a dollar apiece, and my mom (then teaching at South Junior High), my sister and Please see KU, page 2A

Winter energy assistance funds already running low

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

With winter just under way, local agencies are already seeing an uptick in residents looking for assistance in repairing old furnaces, paying off utility bills or even covering the rent.

Just halfway through its grant cycle, the city of Lawrence has spent more than it budgeted for emergency loans. Through annual federal grants, the city can

provide no-interest loans of up to $5,000 for emergency home repairs and furnace replacements. The loans, which aren’t paid back until the house is sold or the owners move away, are used to eliminate any immediate threats to a homeowner’s health and safety.

So far this year, the city has made 17 emergency loans for furnace replacements, compared with six the year before. In all, the city has spent about $37,000 for

grant programs to cover the emergency loans if the demand continues to rise.

“We don’t anticipate any issues,” Hoch said. “It’s on a first-come, first-serve basis, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t ever met that point.”

Over at the East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation, or ECKAN, coordinator Lillie Okwuone said there has been an increase in clients asking for assistance with their utility bills. So far most

Okwuone, who usually assists about 30 clients a week, said she has seen between 10 to 20 new faces in the past few weeks.

emergency loans, which is $3,000 more than what was budgeted.

“I think a lot of it is the economy,” said Tony Hoch, a project specialist for the city.

The city program accepts homeowners who make 80 percent or less of the median income in Douglas County; that’s $55,600 for a family of four and $38,950 for a single person. Applicants must own and live in the home.

Police expand tactics to fight crime

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Lawrence’s interim police chief often mentions crime prevention and public education as a key component to reducing the city’s crime rate.

Tarik Khatib has emphasized the importance of police interacting with the public during his nearly four months leading Khatib the department.

“I do think there is probably a need for additional resources to address the crime problem, but that’s not the complete picture,” he said in an interview last month. “The complete picture also takes into account public education, what people can do to reduce crime themselves and Please see INTERIM, page 2A

KU names new athletic director CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

I sat on the hill. My parents were watching their money in those days.”

After that, the family moved to Hays, where the parents taught and Sheahon “listened to Bob Davis calling games on the radio” there.

A ‘home run’ Zenger was KU’s second choice — Bubba Cunningham was offered the job but turned it down and signed a contract extension to stay at Tulsa — but those who know Zenger best describe him as first-rate.

“I will say that it is a home run for the people of Kansas,” said Illinois State basketball coach Tim Jankovich, a former assistant at KU to Bill Self. “He was a real special A.D. and even a better person.”

Dr. Sheahon (pronounced SHAY-un) Zenger is in his sixth season at Illinois State, the same school from which the late Dr. Bob Frederick came to Kansas to serve as A.D. “I think he is a perfect fit for KU,” Jankovich said.

“When I look at this, I feel he’s been preparing for this position his whole life. Look at him being a football coach on the college level, to having a Ph.D, connecting with faculty, being a fundraiser and athletic director himself already.

Every step of the way, he’s marked the box. Everyone will love him there. He is home-grown. He has no ego and has tremendous character.”

Zenger succeeds Lew Perkins, who significantly upgraded the school’s athletic facilities and enhanced fundraising, but resigned in September in the wake of a ticket scandal that resulted in the indictment of f ive employees of KU Athletics and questions about exercise equipment delivered to his house.

Sean Lester will continue in his role as interim athletic director until Zenger starts his new job Feb. 1, 2011.

Moving forward Zenger said he had been in contact with the search committee “months ago,” but did not talk with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little until after Cunningham turned down the job.

“When I thought about what it was that struck me about the chancellor it was that she’s a warm, gracious and sincere person,” Zenger said.

Quake, magnitude 7.1, rattles Chileans

Constructive construction

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake shook southern Chile on Sunday, prompting tens of thousands to flee the coast for higher ground amid fears it could generate a tsunami like the one that ravaged the area last year.

There were no reports of deaths or damage, and Vicente Nunez, head of the National Emergency Office, said no tsunami alert was issued.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii also said a destructive Pacific Ocean-wide tsunami was not expected.

Some cell-phone communications and electrical power were knocked out in the Araucania region where the quake was centered, 370 miles southsouthwest of the capital, Santiago.

Navy to investigate lewd videos The Navy said Sunday it will investigate “clearly inappropriate” videos broadcast to the crew of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in which a top officer of the ship used gay slurs, mimicked masturbation and opened the shower curtain on women pretending to bathe together.

The star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007, is a former Top Gun pilot who now commands the same ship, the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise, which was deployed in the Middle East at the time and is weeks from deploying again.

Capt. Owen Honors appeared in the videos while he was the USS Enterprise’s executive officer — the second in command — and they aired on the ship’s closed-circuit television. Honors took over as the ship’s commander in May. 4 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Permanent U.S. bases proposed A leading GOP lawmaker on U.S. military policy says he wants American officials to consider establishing permanent military bases in Afghanistan.

Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina says that having a few U.S. air bases in Afghanistan would be a benefit to the region and would give Afghan security forces an edge against the Taliban.

Graham tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wants to see the U.S. have “an enduring relationship” with Afghanistan to ensure that it never falls back into the hands of terrorists.

President Barack Obama plans to begin drawing down American forces in Afghanistan next year and hand over security to Afghan forces in 2014.

Prosecutors have not verified the letter’s authenticity, according to an employee of the Michoacan bureau of the federal Attorney General’s Office who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Four high school students gathered around a table early last month, opening envelopes to reveal what looked like postcards from Florida, California, Delaware, Michigan and Russia, among other places.

“It's like Christmas two weeks early,” said freshman Spencer Brown.

The students weren't examining postcards, but instead cards stamped with call signs from amateur radio operators from around the United States and overseas. The students, members of the Basehor-Linwood High School Amateur Radio Club, had talked with each of the operators using radios set up in front of the high school about six weeks before.

The club was established this school year, sponsored by BLHS special education teacher Forrest Brandt and supported by members of the Pilot Knob Amateur Radio Club of Leavenworth.

GETTING INTO RADIO Beginning Saturday, the Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio Club will offer a beginning amateur radio class at the Johnson County District 1 Fire Station, 490 New Century Parkway, in New Century. The classes run from 8:30 a.m. to noon for six consecutive Saturdays.

“Radio is a great hobby to have,” said course instructor Jim Cessna.

“Just like any great hobby, it’s a lot of fun and you can invest a little money in it or a lot, sort of like those who like boating, you can own a canoe or a yacht and still have a great time.”

The course costs $15 for students 16 and younger and $30 for all others.

Pre-registration is preferred; registration forms may be picked up at the De Soto library, but students will be accepted on the first day of class as well. For more information, contact Cessna at 913-782-4107 or at jimrcessna@aol.com.

Virginia Acheson was counting the number of times the green-and-blue hula hoop went around her waist.

At 85, she’s known as the hula-hooping queen at the Neuvant House, an assisted living facility in Lawrence.

“Oh, I love it,” she said, with a smile.

She started hula hooping just four months ago when 21-year-old Maria Ganninger, a certified medication aide, brought in a hoop. She wanted to see whether any of the residents wanted to give it a whirl, and Acheson was a

“Virginia just started going. She was rockin’ it,” Ganninger said.

“She’s grown from being able to go from 30 times to 200 times without stopping. It’s pretty incredible.”

Ganninger even bought Acheson her own hoop, and now the two hula hoop about three times a week for 30 to 40 minutes.

Acheson now gets a kick out of teaching others. She taught Lisa Nielsen, vice president of the Neuvant House.

“I’ve tried and tried and I came down here, and Virginia was hula hooping and she taught me how. She was so encouraging,” Nielsen said. “She said, ‘Come on.

You can do it.’”

Acheson’s advice is to

use a proper-sized hula hoop and start with it resting against your back. Make sure the hoop is level and then, give it a good spin. If you are right-handed, go right. If the hoop starts to drop, pick up the pace of your hip action. It also helps to keep good posture with your legs slightly bent.

“It’s just natural to do,” she said.

On Wednesday evening, Ganninger and Acheson were hula hooping in the living room area just before a Kansas University basketball game. About a half-dozen residents and visitors enjoyed cheering on Acheson before the game.

Comprehensive... Really!

President Barack Obama said Sunday he was honored to sign a bill to provide aid to survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks and first responders who became ill working in the ruins at the World Trade Center.

“We will never forget the selfless courage demonstrated by the firefighters, police officers and first responders who risked their lives to save others,” Obama said in a statement. “I believe this is a critical step for those who continue to bear the physical scars of those attacks.”

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was named after a police officer who died of a respiratory disease he contracted during the 9/11 rescue operations. The bill was one of the last measures Congress passed before adjourning in December.

Some Republicans tried to block the measure, saying they were concerned with how to pay for the bill.

They dropped their opposition after lawmakers struck a compromise to reduce the costs.

The $4.2 billion measure will be paid for with a fee on some foreign companies that get U.S. government procurement contracts.

VIRGINIA ACHESON, 85, LEFT, is considered the hulahooping queen at the Neuvant House, an assisted living facility. “Oh, I love it,” Acheson said while hula hooping with Maria Ganniger, right, a certified medication aide.

Susie Lounsbury, a visitor, thinks Acheson is remarkable.

“I’ve tried and I’m not really good at,” she said.

“I like to watch Virginia.

She’s amazing.”

SUNDAY CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR JAN. 2

Health official sets goals for state in 2011 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

demand.

Here’s what he considers the Top 10 health challenges — in no specific order — in Kansas, and how they can be addressed:

1. Tobacco use One in six Kansans is addicted to tobacco.

Eberhart-Phillips would like to see more activism and advocacy in protecting youths from developing the addiction.

He is hoping the state, with the help of new Gov. Sam Brownback, will increase cigarette Eberhart-Phillips taxes to discourage kids from smoking and to give adult smokers the nudge that they need to quit smoking. He has talked to Missouri’s state health officer, who plans to push for a cigarette tax increase as well. Missouri has the lowest cigarette tax in the country.

Also, “we need to preserve, protect and potentially enhance the Indoor Clean Air legislation, and really make it embedded in our culture that public places are not places to release toxic chemicals,” EberhartPhillips said.

2. Obesity and the chronic diseases associated with it Sixty-two percent of Kansas adults are overweight or obese, and one of the most common diseases related to being overweight is diabetes.

“What ought to be a relatively rare disease now affects as many as one in seven Kansas adults,” Eberhart-Phillips said. A new study projects that will increase to one in three by 2050.

He said it can be addressed by improving access to healthy foods at schools, workplaces and restaurants, and by creating infrastructure that encourages walking and bicycling.

“We need more development like Massachusetts Street and less like 23rd Street in our cities, or South Iowa even gets me more annoyed. I cannot go from one store to another unless I f irst get in my car, even though everything I need is down there,” he said.

3. Fatal injuries Too many Kansans die before they reach retirement age because of injuries, he said.

He said increased seat-belt use, helmet use and suicide prevention are a few efforts that could help reduce the problem.

In some states, he said, seat-belt use is 90 to 95 percent. In Kansas, it’s 75 to 85 percent.

“In our rural communities where the risks are the highest and the deaths are the most common, it’s much lower than that,” he said.

About one Kansan dies every day from suicide.

“Lawrence has a lot of activists in the area, and they

are right,” he said. “This is a problem that we’ve neglected for too long, and it really is going to take some cultural change.”

4. Environment Eberhart-Phillips said childhood lead poisoning and prairie burning are concerns.

“We had 140 cases of lead poisoning in our most recent year, 2008. Twothirds of those were under age 2, when it’s going to h ave t h e m o s t l i fe l o n g impact on their brain develo p m e n t a n d a b i l i ty to learn,” he said.

He said the seasonal, controlled prairie fires can push air quality measures to unsafe levels. The state is studying the issue to see whether it is a health risk, especially for people with asthma, heart disease or other illnesses.

“We want to make sure we are not adversely affecting people’s health and f ind maybe better ways to do that,” he said.

5. Infant mortality Eberhart-Phillips said the United States has a higher infant mortality rate than other developed countries.

To make matters worse, Kansas’ rate is high among the states.

“We used to do better than the rest of country, and now we are 20 percent higher than the rest of the country,” he said. “That’s pretty alarming.”

6. HIV and STDs Eberhart-Phillips said there have been significant increases in HIV cases and sexually transmitted diseases.

Ninety new HIV cases were reported in 2008, a 34 percent increase from four years earlier.

There have been 7,700 cases of chlamydia — an STD that can cause infertility and other problems — among young adults ages 15 to 24 per year.

“A lot of work needs to go into it preventing this,” he said.

7. Immunization Kansas has gone from ninth worst in the country when it comes to immunization rates to seventh best.

Still, he said, there are a lot of unimmunized children, and that can lead to outbreaks. For example, in

some parts of the country, whooping cough has surged to l eve l s n o t s e e n i n 5 0 years.

“It could well come to Kansas,” he said.

He said the state is “woefully insufficient” in adult vaccination. He is especially disturbed by the number of health providers who don’t receive a flu shot.

“Of all people, they ought to know better,” he said. “So, that certainly is an area of concern.”

8. Oral health One in four Kansas children suffer from untreated tooth decay, which hinders their ability to perform well in school.

“We are one of the worst states in the nation in terms of fluoridating our water, which would be a cheap and effective way to undo much of that decay,” EberhartPhillips said.

Only 44 percent of Kansans get fluoridated water in their homes. City of Lawrence residents get fluoridated water.

Also, many communities lack primary care dental services. Fourteen counties don’t have a dentist, and another 14 don’t have enough dentists to serve their populations.

9. Health care-associated infections Every year, Americans contract 1.7 million infections while being treated in hospitals. These infections cost the country between $30 and $40 billion per year.

They are associated with about 99,000 deaths annually.

If these were counted as a cause of death, EberhartPhillips said it would be the sixth leading cause of death and largely preventable.

“We are going to find out how many there are in Kansas for certain types with a voluntary surveillance system that’s being set up now,” he said.

10. Access to quality care One in eight Kansans has no health insurance. This doesn’t include those who are underinsured.

“The under-insurance problem, in some ways, is even bigger in that they are not counted as uninsured but they may as well be because the costs are preventing them from getting the care that they need,” Eberhart-Phillips said.

He said the Affordable Care Act’s goal of getting more Americans insured won’t work unless demand for medical services is reduced.

“We can’t add 32 million people if we are all going to be as sick as we are in 2010, because there isn’t enough money to pay for the health care,” Eberhart-Phillips said.

“We have to make it so you have less reason to use hospital services and you get more treatment on an outpatient basis, or you simply don’t need it at all because your environment has so well supported you in your active living and healthy eating and smoke-free lifestyle that you don’t come down with the diseases that are costing us so much now.”

Lawrence, KU tuned into radio community

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Lawrence has an active amateur radio circuit, with a club boasting 70 members, according to the club’s treasurer.

“It’s just like any other hobby that anybody has,” said Fred Gantz, treasurer of the Douglas County Amateur Radio Club. “For some reason or another, it sparks your mental capacity.”

Kansas University also has a student group dedicated to amateur radio.

Amateur radio users will converse with friends, assist with emergency communications and experiment with technical radio equipment.

And, though many licenses have expired, a list of FCCapproved licenses in the city shows more than 300 people are ham radio operators.

Gantz estimated that more than 200 of those licenses were active.

Anyone interested in getting more information can attend any one of the club’s meetings, which are typical-

ly held at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at Building One at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

The group offers occasional training sessions for the uninitiated, and can help new recruits pass tests to obtain an official FCC license.

And it doesn’t take a big investment to get started. No radio equipment is necessary, Gantz said. As the Internet developed, amateur radio users adapted, and he said several resources online can provide first-time users with

the ability to listen to radio traffic and even communicate over long distances using only a laptop computer.

Still, like any hobby, he said, there are opportunities for the very interested to spend considerable sums of money.

When asked how much he had put into the hobby, Gantz politely declined to answer.

“My wife would scalp me,” he said.

communication that allows them to meet people around the world and learn valuable skills.

The group's first event was the School Club Roundup, a weeklong event in October sponsored by the American Radio Relay League, a national amateur radio organization. The students spent the week contacting as many other operators around the world as they could, using radios and a 33-foot-tall antenna provided by Bob Kimbrell, a member of the Pilot Knob club.

About 20 students got into the action.

“It was pretty cool,” said freshman Jacob Hall. “I don't otherwise get to talk to people outside of Kansas.”

Freshman Jacob Zamora said he was used to chatting with people from other places online, but actually speaking with them through the microphone made him a bit nervous.

“I was scared to speak to people,” Zamora said. “I'm used to typing to them. So I stuttered.”

But Kimbrell butted in with words of encouragement: “You did great.”

Over the course of the week, the students made contact with more than 50 operators in 23 states, as well as Russia, the Czech Republic and Ontario, Canada. Some operators were with other clubs participating in the event, while others just happened to hear the BLHS club's calls.

Special to the Journal-World

BASEHOR-LINWOOD HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN Nathan Lucas, sitting, Jacob Zamora, standing at left, and Spencer Brown, right, seek out other radio operators, helped by sponsor Bob Kimbrell, during the School Club Roundup event in October.

One operator they reached was broadcasting from near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where he works as a space shuttle technician.

Another was broadcasting under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to celebrate the arch's 45th anniversary.

Afterward, the students sent cards to each operator, complete with a sketch of the BLHS building drawn by freshman Nathan Lucas, asking them to send cards back in return. About half of them replied.

Students in the club said they joined because it sounded fun, but the hobby has several practical applications, as well. Brown said the technology would provide a “failsafe” in case of a particular kind of emergency.

“If the zombie apocalypse happens, you designate your own frequency and then stick

with it, and it never fails,” he said.

Brown was joking, of course, but Kimbrell said he had a point. Radio communication is quite stable, he said, because it is not tied down by wires, towers or satellites like other modes of communication. The infrastructure required is the earth's ionosphere.

In fact, according to the ARRL, the Federal Communications Commission first began granting amateur radio licenses to establish a network of communications experts who could spring to action in case of an emergency.

Even if they're never called upon in case of zombies, amateur radio operators also pick up skills in mathematics and science that are attractive to employers in engineering and other fields, Kimbrell said. Amateur radio enthusiasts often educate themselves about the technical workings of the equipment they use and the radio waves they send out, he said.

“It's really an elite group of scientific-minded people,” Kimbrell said. “That's what makes it such an interesting hobby.”

Kimbrell said he f irst jumped into amateur radio at age 13 when he strapped a radio to the handlebars of his Schwinn Continental bicycle as he ran a paper route, and his experience helped him land a job with a California utility company where he worked for 25 years.

“Radio to me has always been kind of a magic thing,” Kimbrell said. “You can take a

WWI museum in Kansas City seeks to improve national profile KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The National World War I Museum in Kansas City is looking to enhance its profile so it can raise more money as the centennial of the f ighting approaches.

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and others with prestige have been recruited for the board of trustees, while actor Kevin Costner is among those who have agreed to be part of a separate, honorary board.

The museum wants the national World War I centennial commemoration to be anchored in Kansas City.

“An important goal of the museum is to broaden our base of support throughout the nation,” board chairman James Bernard Jr. said.

He said having new board members like Cleaver, Sprint Foundation President Ralph D. Reid and New York artist

Maria Cooper Janis, who is the daughter of the late actor Gary Cooper, “will help tremendously in those efforts.”

The Kansas City Star reported that the private, nonprofit association that operates the Liberty Memorial, where the museum is located, also has set ambitious fundraising targets.

The goal is to raise $34.5 million by 2014, the centennial of when the Great War began. The association wants the fundraising total to have grown to $62.75 million by 2018, the centennial of the war ending. The plan is to put two-thirds of the money raised into an endowment.

The association also wants to boost attendance with new attractions and more marketing. Since the museum opened to acclaim in 2006, attendance has fallen off as

was expected.

“We’re not new anymore,” said Brian Alexander, president and chief executive of the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial.

The good news is that revenue from attendance has grown from about $1 million in 2009 to $1.4 million this year because of changes in the ticket fee structure.

The attendance-boosting efforts will include a series of temporary “spotlight” exhibits focusing on items in the World War I collection that are rarely, if ever, displayed. The memorial also is preparing for a first-ever collaboration with the Kansas City Actors Theatre for a stage production in February of the play “Oh What a Lovely War.” “We need to be aggressive,” Alexander said of the efforts.

BRIEFLY School defends choice to kick out 4 students OVERLAND PARK — A suburban Kansas City junior college is defending its decision to kick out four students who posed for photos with a human placenta.

One of the students, Doyle Byrnes, is seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to force Johnson County Community College to reinstate her before classes resume Jan. 19. She posted one of the photos on Facebook.

The school has said the stu-

dents could seek readmission in the fall and finish the program a year later in May 2012.

But Byrnes is getting married in August and had planned to move to Virginia with her husband and work there as a registered nurse.

Senate’s Democratic leader expands staff TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate’s top Democrat has expanded his staff, bringing in two aides to outgoing Secretary of State Chris Biggs.

Minority Leader and Topeka Democrat Anthony Hensley

notes that his office has had four staffers in the past but operated with only two for much of last year.

Part of that was because former Chief of Staff Timothy Graham left in April to become assistant secretary of state.

Biggs lost the secretary of state’s race last year to Republican Kris Kobach, and Biggs leaves office Jan. 10.

As a result, Graham will return to being Hensley’s chief of staff.

But the minority leader’s office also is hiring Biggs spokeswoman Susan Allen as an assistant to the Senate Democratic caucus.

GOP agenda to strongly affect 2012 elections

By Larry Margasak Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Republican agenda for the new Congress that convenes Wednesday may have a greater impact on the 2012 elections than on the lives of Americans in the next two years.

Republicans promise to cut spending, roll back President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and prevent unelected bureaucrats from expanding the government’s role in society through regulations that tell people what they must or can’t do. Getting this agenda through the House may be easier than in the Senate, given the GOP’s 241-194 majority in the House.

Getting the Senate to act will be a challenge. Democrats still hold an edge there, though smaller than the one Obama had during his first two years in the White House.

Even if the next two years end in gridlock, Republicans will have built a record for the

next election that they hope will demonstrate to voters that they can get it right.

House Republicans also pledge to hold tough investigations and hearings on the president’s programs and policies, ending the free pass that Democratic committee chairmen gave the Obama administration the past two years.

Republicans insist that they’ll bring key administration officials before congressional microphones and that the public can watch the webcasts. The friendly tone of inquiry from Democratic chairmen will be replaced by Republicans demanding answers to these questions: What’s the purpose of this program? Is this the best use of the taxpayers’ money?

The chief Republican investigator, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, is raring to get started, and he’s not alone.

Issa, the incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has been especially

critical of what he calls waste in Obama’s economic stimulus spending.

“The sooner the administration figures out that the enemy is the bureaucracy and the wasteful spending, not the other party, the better off we’ll be,” he told “Fox News Sunday.”

Rep. Harold Rogers of Kentucky, incoming leader of the House Appropriations Committee, says he wants top officials from all major government agencies to appear and justify their spending.

The next chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Republican Fred Upton of Michigan, says he’ll work to stop overzealous government regulators. A big target for him is the Environmental Protection Agency, which is writing rules to limit greenhouse gases blamed for global warming after Obama’s effort to get Congress to do it stalled in the Senate last year.

“We are not going to let this administration regulate what

they’ve been unable to legislate,” he told Fox. Upton, like Issa, will have a large investigative staff.

“Republicans need to make sure they bring forward solutions, even though it may be difficult to get them accomplished,” Rep.-elect Kristi Noem, R-S.D., said in an interview. She said the lesson from the November election is, “The American people will replace people if they’re no longer in touch or listening.”

Noem benefited from that view, defeating Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. Noem has risen to the forefront of the freshman class; she was chosen to serve in the GOP leadership.

In the Senate, there’s a chance the Democrats will replace Republicans as the party of “no,” assuming the House GOP passes much of its agenda. Democrats will control the Senate 51-47 with two independents, and only need 41 votes to block initiatives that arrive from the House.

ISRAEL

P.M. calls for peace talks with Palestinians

By Josef Federman Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister on Sunday proposed nonstop, face-to-face talks with the Palestinian president until a peace agreement is reached — offering a possible way to advance talks that have stalled over the construction of Jewish settlements.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal offers the appeal of leaders working together to make history, and it comes in response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ latest claim — made over the weekend in South America — that genuine talks could yield a deal within months. But the Palestinians showed little enthusiasm for Netanyahu’s offer.

Reached by The Associated Press in Brazil on Sunday, Abbas reiterated his call for a settlement freeze. “If he does so, we can reach an agreement not in six months, but in two months,” he said.

Abbas’ chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said Netanyahu’s offer amounted to little more than an empty declaration.

He called on the Israeli leader

ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, THIRD LEFT, arrives at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday. Netanyahu has asked for nonstop, face-to-face talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas until a peace agreement is reached. to spell out a vision of peace, and specifically to commit to a near-complete withdrawal from the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

In his comments Sunday, Netanyahu urged the Palestinians to turn their focus away from settlements and instead work with him on the broader issues needed to reach a final peace deal.

He said he was ready to sit with Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, for “continuous direct one-on-one negotiations until white smoke is wafting,” an allusion to the Vatican’s custom for announcing a new pope.

“If Abu Mazen agrees to my proposal of directly discussing all the core issues, we will know very quickly if we can

reach an agreement,” he said.

Netanyahu did not spell out details, but his new approach would be based on the idea that all the outstanding issues would be on the table, as opposed to the Palestinian approach of demanding a settlement freeze and general agreement on borders before talks resume.

President Barack Obama has made Mideast peace a top priority, personally launching the latest round of negotiations at the White House in early September and pledging to forge a deal within a year. But the U.S.-brokered talks broke down just three weeks later with the expiration of a limited Israeli freeze on settlement construction.

Netanyahu grudgingly accepted the principle of a Palestinian right to statehood only two years ago, and the past months’ diplomatic difficulties have deepened the Palestinians’ distrust.

Appearing to despair of restarting talks, they have embarked on a parallel track of seeking recognition by world governments for a Palestinian state even without Israeli agreement.

Cancer-spotting blood test a step closer to actuality —————

Boost from Johnson&Johnson will bring Boston-based procedure to market

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press Writer

BOSTON — A blood test so sensitive that it can spot a single cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones is moving one step closer to being available at your doctor’s office.

Boston scientists who invented the test and health care giant Johnson & Johnson will announce today that they are joining forces to bring it to market. Four big cancer centers also will start studies using the experimental test this year.

Stray cancer cells in the blood mean that a tumor has spread or is likely to, many doctors believe. A test that can capture such cells has the potential to transform care for many types of cancer, especially breast, prostate, colon and lung.

Initially, doctors want to

use the test to try to predict what treatments would be best for each patient’s tumor and find out quickly if they are working.

“This is like a liquid biopsy” that avoids painful tissue sampling and may give a better way to monitor patients than periodic imaging scans, said Dr. Daniel Haber, chief of Massachusetts General Hospital’s cancer center and one of the test’s inventors.

Ultimately, the test may offer a way to screen for cancer besides the mammograms, colonoscopies and other less-than-ideal methods used now.

“There’s a lot of potential here, and that’s why there’s a lot of excitement,” said Dr. Mark Kris, lung cancer chief at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

He had no role in developing the test, but Sloan-Kettering is one of the sites that will

study it this year.

Many people have their cancers diagnosed through needle biopsies. These often do not provide enough of a sample to determine what genes or pathways control a tumor’s growth. Or the sample may no longer be available by the time the patient gets sent to a specialist to decide what treatment to prescribe.

Doctors typically give a drug or radiation treatment and then do a CT scan two months later to look for tumor shrinkage. Some patients only live long enough to try one or two treatments, so a test that can gauge success sooner, by looking at cancer cells in the blood, could give patients more options.

“If you could f ind out quickly, ‘this drug is working, stay on it,’ or ‘this drug is not working, try something else,’

that would be huge,” Haber said.

The only test on the market now to find tumor cells in blood — CellSearch, made by J&J’s Veridex unit — just gives a cell count. It doesn’t capture whole cells that doctors can analyze to choose treatments.

Interest in trying to collect these cells soared in 2007, after Haber and his colleagues published a study of Mass General’s test. It is far more powerful than CellSearch and traps cells intact. It requires only a couple of teaspoons of blood and can be done repeatedly to monitor treatment or determine why a drug has stopped working and what to try next.

“That’s what got the scientific community’s interest,” Kris said. Doctors can give a drug one day and sample blood the next day to see if the circulating tumor cells are gone, he explained.

BRIEFLY More than 1,000 dead birds fall from sky BEEBE, ARK. — Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused more than 1,000 black birds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds about 11:30 p.m. the previous night. The birds fell over a 1mile area of Beebe, and an aer-

ial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.

Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the he birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that “the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail.”

The commission said that New Year’s Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.

Robby King, a wildlife officer for the agency, collected about 65 dead birds, which will be sent for testing to the state Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.

Nation needs to promote ideas

EDITORIALS

Kindergarten equity If full-day kindergarten offers a valuable educational advantage, it should be offered in all of Lawrence’s elementary schools.

P

ublic school is a public good. It’s paid for by everyone for the benefit of future taxpayers, who in turn will do their part. But with public funds paying the bills, public school also should be about making sure everyone has the same opportunities.

That’s easy to say but hard to accomplish for public school districts such as Lawrence, where the community recently built football stadiums for its two high schools. One got standard-issue locker rooms, and the other got locker rooms that are a coach’s dream thanks to an anonymous donor’s gift that some school board members were left wondering whether they should have accepted.

Now they are asking a similar question about full-day kindergarten. The district has 15 elementary schools, each in a neighborhood that has its own strengths and challenges. But only eight of those schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney, Prairie Park, Schwegler and Woodlawn — have fullday kindergarten.

The full-day program costs the district about $500,000, which is financed with money restricted to helping students who are considered “at-risk” because of financial or other demographic factors. Adding full-day kindergarten to the district’s seven other elementary schools that currently offer only half-day classes would cost another $650,000, district officials say.

To have a program in one school and not have it at another is hardly fair.

As part of their ongoing redesign of the district’s schools — moving freshmen into high schools, turning junior highs into middle schools and limiting elementaries to kindergarten through fifth grade — Lawrence school board members want administrators to review all programs and determine which ones are the most effective and most efficient.

So, districtwide full-day kindergarten is getting a look. Full-day kindergarten provides many advantages to students, including more time to learn in class and opportunities to develop social skills. It’s where good work habits and routines can be fostered. It has great value for those who can take advantage of it. It shouldn’t be viewed as a day-care service for working parents of kindergartners. It’s much more than that.

The simple, and easy, answer is there isn’t money to have full-day kindergarten at each school. Yes, the district doesn’t expect to receive any more money for the next academic year. And school leaders worry about being forced to make more budget cuts like they had to do this year when jobs and programs were eliminated to reduce expenses by $4.6 million without closing schools.

The question is whether full-day kindergarten is among the district’s best investments for helping improve long-term academic achievement for students, especially those in at-risk groups at all of the district’s elementary schools. If that’s the case, what programs less important than full-day kindergarten might be eliminated?

Is parent-paid tuition an alternative?

Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll said that a sliding scale could be established, allowing students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches at all schools to receive full-day kindergarten for “free,” while other parents could choose to pay tuition to have their children attend full-day classes.

But that brings us back to the mission of public education. If tuition is the alternative, then the public isn’t doing its job. It should be available to all.

Lawrence administrators and school board members will have to make a tough decision about full-day kindergarten. If it is deemed an important program then it should be available to families who need it and those who want it, no matter where they live in the city.

WASHINGTON — New Republican legislators should come down Capitol Hill to the National Museum of American History, which displays a device that in 1849 was granted U.S. patent 6469. It enabled a boat’s “draught of water to be readily lessened” so it could “pass over bars, or through shallow water.” The patentee was from Sangamon County, Ill. Across Constitution Avenue, over the Commerce Department’s north entrance, are some words of the patentee, Abraham Lincoln: THE PATENT SYSTEM ADDED THE FUEL OF INTEREST TO THE FIRE OF GENIUS Stoking that fire is, more than ever, a proper federal function, so the legislators should be given some reading matter.

Another is the National Academy of Sciences report “Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited,” an addendum to a 2005 report on declining support for science and engineering research.

Such research is what canals and roads once were — a prerequisite for long-term economic vitality. The first Republican president revered Henry Clay, whose “American System” stressed spending on such “internal improvements.” Today, the prerequisites for economic dynamism are ideas. Deborah Wince-Smith of the Council on Competitiveness says: “Talent will be the oil of the 21st century.” And the talent that matters most is the cream of the elite. The late Nobel laureate Julius Axelrod said, “Ninety-nine percent of the discoveries are made by 1 percent of the scientists.”

More than 35 years later, I still remember distinctly when Pam Simpson sang those words at the final assembly of our senior year at Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas.

It’s been replaying in my mind constantly since the reunion in September that our classmate Chris Vale organized and herded almost half our 400-member graduating class to, with help from generous donors of money and time.

The marvel of Google led me to a YouTube rendition of the song, which was written by Ronnie Gaylord and recorded by Glen Campbell in 1972.

“I will see this day but once.

“If there’s any kindness I can show “Let me show it now “For I’ll never see this day again.”

The f irst time I heard the words, they seemed a poignant farewell. I’ve since realized they map a strategy for living. But it’s a daunting one. Think about what it asks for.

This ideal requires that we not yell at the obviously blind, boneheaded ref.

That we listen respectfully to ridiculously misguided political views. That we just hush when we can’t say something nice.

These might appear to be trivialities. They aren’t the serious moral dilemmas and crises of faith that try our souls, but that makes them seem easy to dismiss when they shouldn’t be.

that sustains collaboration among complex institutions — corporations’ research entities and research universities.

Research, including in the biological sciences, that yields epoch-making advances requires time horizons that often are impossible for businesses, with their inescapable attention to quarterly results.

An iconic conservative understood this. Margaret Thatcher, who studied chemistry as an Oxford undergraduate, said: “Although basic science can have colossal economic rewards, they are totally unpredictable.

And therefore the rewards cannot be judged by immediate results. Nevertheless, the value of (Michael) Faraday’s work today must be higher than the capitalization of all shares on the stock exchange.”

The last Congress’ misbegotten stimulus legislation — an indulgent and incoherent jumble of pent-up political appetites — may have done large and lasting damage by provoking a comparably indiscriminate reaction against federal spending. This will be doubly dangerous if a curdled populism, eager to humble elites, targets a sphere of American supremacy and a basis of its revival — its premier research uni-

versities. “Gathering Storm” says that because of the recent recession, many universities — during 2008 and 2009, endowments of public and private institutions declined an average of 18.7 percent — “are in greater jeopardy than at any time in nearly a century.”

Granted, political correctness and academic obscurantism in some disciplines — mostly the humanities and social sciences — of some elite universities have damaged the prestige of the institutions and irritated substantial portions of the public. But the public should not now be punished by penalizing, with diminished funding, the scientific disciplines that have been mostly innocent of the behaviors that have sometimes made academia a subject of satire.

Richard Levin, economist and Yale’s president, asks: Would Japan’s growth have lagged since 1990 “if Microsoft, Netscape, Apple and Google had been Japanese companies”? Japan’s failure has been a failure to innovate. As “Gathering Storm” says: Making the government lean by cutting the most defensible — because most productive — federal spending is akin to making an overweight aircraft flightworthy by removing an engine.

not a propitious moment to defend elites, even scientific ones. Nevertheless, the nation depends on nourishing them and the institutions that sustain them.

U.S. undergraduate institutions award 16 percent of their degrees in the natural sciences or engineering; South Korea and China award 38 percent and 47 percent, respectively. America ranks 27th among developed nations in the proportion of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science or engineering.

America has been consuming its seed corn: From 1970 to 1995, federal support for research in the physical sciences, as a fraction of GDP, declined 54 percent; in engineering, 51 percent. On a per-student basis, state support of public universities has declined for more than two decades and was at the lowest level in a quarter-century before the current economic unpleasantness. Annual federal spending on mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering now equals only the increase in health care costs every nine weeks.

Republicans are rightly determined to be economizers. They must, however, make distinctions. Congressional conservatives can demonstrate that skill by defending research spending

That’s why I like the idea of New Year’s resolutions. Not because they provide a chance to set wildly impossible goals that won’t be pursued any longer than it took to write them down — but because they represent the opportunity for a fresh start on the daily challenge of living well.

So I resolve, among other things: In addition to hitting the gym regularly, to find a new community volunteer project.

Bitter pill To the editor: I suffer from chronic bronchitis and asthma and when, on Christmas Eve, I found myself going rapidly toward another bronchitis bout, I called my regular doctor to ask for medication before it went to pneumonia.

When I called my doctor, I found that they had Christmas Eve off, and a doctor on call would call. There was a note recorded that I “might be charged” for this call before I left my information.

About 10 minutes later, a doctor, one of the group I go to, called and said he had seen my number but my information did not record. I told him I saw a certain doctor and I had chronic bronchitis. He asked what I usually took, said he would call it in and hung up. This call lasted less than five minutes (more like three minutes).

Now the rest of the story. I received a bill from my medical group for $70 for the lessthan-five-minute call that I received from the doctor.

This works out to $840 an hour. I find this astronomical, especially in light of the economy today. With the cost of living, the low employment rate and families struggling to make ends meet, this new fee is a bitter pill to swallow. This is probably not the only medical group doing this.

I will be calling to set up a payment plans as I am one that cannot make such a high payment without planning. A form letter to patients letting them know about this cost would have been nice.

Escaped K.C.-area sex offender caught LARNED — A man who escaped from the Kansas sexual predator treatment program is back in custody.

Bruce Franklin Burns was arrested Saturday night in an area of Rush County about 15 miles from the Larned State Hospital.

Burns, 41, escaped from the facility Wednesday. Court records show he was convicted in Wyandotte County in 1998 for attempted criminal sodomy and attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

K.C. ends 2010 with 106 homicides KANSAS CITY, MO. — A violent December with 11 killings pushed Kansas City’s homicide total to 106 for the year.

That’s still four fewer than in 2009. But The Kansas City Star reported the city had been on track for a bigger decline before last month when an ongoing feud involving gang members escalated into a drive-by shooting at a funeral service. No one was killed at the funeral shooting, but police said that event could be responsible for several homicides, including a double killing.

KANSAS 83, MIAMI (OHIO) 56

The magic touch

Massage from mom helps Selby rebound

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD JOSH SELBY CELEBRATES HIS DUNK against Miami (Ohio) during the first half. Selby finished with 18 points in the Jayhawks’ 83-56 victory Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Extremely sore from a series of excruciating practices, Josh Selby turned to a loved one for treatment before Sunday’s game against Miami University.

“My mom gave me a soft-tap massage,” Selby, Kansas University’s freshman combo guard, said with a smile after bouncing back from a two-point effort against UT Arlington with an 18point, seven-rebound, five-assist outing in KU’s 83-56 victory over the RedHawks at Allen Fieldhouse.

The massage worked.

“I got my legs back,” said Selby, who hit seven of 12 shots overall, including four of five threes.

The 6-foot-2 Baltimore native showed incredible leaping ability on a vicious one-handed slam that gave KU a 28-11 lead with seven minutes left in the first half.

“I wanted to break the rim down,” said Selby, who grinned when informed his mom, perhaps remembering the therapeutic massage, jumped out of her seat and cheered the play wildly.

“She did? I’ve got to watch the replay on that,” Selby said.

His dunk was one of KU’s 10 — many of the highlight-reel variety.

Marcus Morris had a violent dunk on a play in which he was fouled, giving KU a 39-15 lead.

Earlier, Travis Releford tossed the ball off the backboard to a trailing Elijah Johnson for a jam that gave the Jayhawks a 21-11 advantage.

“I think everybody that dunked today got that nickname, ‘Showtime,’’’ said Selby, who goes by that moniker. “There were some amazing dunks.”

KU coach Bill Self approved of all the dunking, but didn’t like one that failed. Johnson threw the ball off the backboard to a trailing Thomas Robinson in the Please see KANSAS, page 4B

Self uses break to teach Morris twins a lesson Tom Kegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ah, the holidays. A time to slip into your comfort zone, do whatever it is that makes you happiest, relieves you of stress, puts a smile on your face.

Unless, that is, you happen to play for Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self, in which case it’s time to get pulled out of your comfort zone by what-

ever means necessary and begin growing on the path he has chosen for you.

Marcus and to a lesser degree Markieff Morris, KU’s two most talented post players, had triggered public words of displeasure from the coach in recent weeks for settling into a comfort zone well beneath the

height of their potential. If Self was down on them publicly, it’s a safe bet the king’s speech behind closed practice doors colored the air blue.

Neither twin started Sunday’s game against Miami of Ohio, those assignments going instead to Jeff Withey and Thomas Robinson.

KU aide Wyatt leaving for Texas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After just one season in Lawrence, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill already is looking to replace one member of the coaching staff he has touted since arriving.

Sunday afternoon, KU announced that wide-receivers coach Darrell Wyatt was leaving Kansas to take the same job at the University of Texas. Wyatt, who also held the title of co-offensive coordinator at KU, also will be UT’s co-recruiting coordinator.

This marks the second time Wyatt has left KU. In 2000, he left Terry Allen’s staff to take a job at Oklahoma State, where he worked under current LSU coach Les Miles. That move was about building his resume and growing as a coach. This one seems to be more about family. Wyatt grew up in Killeen, Texas, and has strong ties to the state, which has Reed Hoffmann/AP Photo helped him become one of the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK MATT top recruiters in the area.

Chiefs lose, but Raiders can’t win

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — If this turns out to be Tom Cable’s last year as Oakland’s head coach, at least he’ll know he made history.

After beating Kansas City, 3110, Sunday in their regular-season finale, the 2010 Raiders became the only team since the 1970 merger to go unbeaten in their division and still not make the playoffs. The short-handed Raiders (8-8) wrapped up a division record of 6-0, while the Chiefs (10-6) went 2-4 in the divi-

sion and will host the Baltimore Ravens at noon Sunday as AFC West champions.

The Chiefs are the No. 4 seed; the Raiders are through for the year.

“We are disappointed because we are not going to the playoffs, but at the same time we stuck to the goal and stuck to the plan as we have done very week, and we got our eighth win,” said Cable, whose job status with the Raiders has been the subject of speculation. “I’m very happy about that.”

For real this time? Favre says he’s done The Associated Press

Brett Favre was the NFL’s ultimate iron man for 19 years, inspiring coaches and teammates with unparalleled toughness and thrilling fans with a daredevil’s verve and a showman’s sense of the moment.

Yet the once-irrepressible Favre never looked older or more fragile than in year No. 20. The magic of last season, and most of his brilliant career, never seemed farther away.

It had to end some time. And Favre says that time is now.

The 41-year-old quarterback sat out Minnesota’s season-ending loss to the Lions on Sunday due to a concussion, and it appears that

perhaps the toughest man ever to play in the NFL had his career end not on the field trying to rally the Vikings to another victory, but on the bench as a third-string rookie floundered in Favre’s place.

No one — not even Brett Favre — can play forever.

“I know it’s time, and that’s OK. It is,” Favre said after the 20-13 defeat. “Again, I hold no regrets, and I can’t think of too many players offhand that can walk away and say that.”

He also retired in 2008 with the Packers and 2009 with the Jets, only to return to the field both times when the football bug bit him in the summer. He knows that there will be doubters again.

“I don’t know for me if it’s ever easy,” Favre said. “I’m sure throughout this year, the comment has been made that, ‘We’ll wait and see in August or September,’ and that’s fine. It’s time. I’m OK with it.”

If this indeed Favre is the end — for real, this time — for Favre, one of the most colorful and celebrated careers in league history concluded with a season filled with interceptions, injuries and insults.

He was picked off 19 times this season, and his 69.9 quarterback

By Cam Inman Contra Costa Times

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Oakland Raiders returned to relevancy this season, and coach Tom Cable finally won me over in the process.

So I paid him my respects after Sunday’s season-ending 31-10 victory over the host Kansas City Chiefs.

We shook hands in the locker room, reviewed this 8-8 season and discussed his uncertain fate.

“Hopefully I get another chance,” Cable said.

If not, the Raiders risk breaking down what they’ve built up since he took over for an insubordinate Lane Kiffin, four games into the 2008 season.

If Cable is not retained, it wouldn’t be a shock, considering Al Davis’ discontent over an eight-season playoff drought.

But Davis has witnessed enough lousy football since 2003 to know the Raiders are heading in the right direction. Cable steered them onto that course.

His odds on returning deserve to be better than 50-50, a ratio he glumly estimated. Only Davis knows what comes next, although an ESPN report before Sunday’s finale said it was “unlikely” Cable would stick.

So why should a coach with a 17-27 record keep his job? Because of games like Sunday’s, when the Raiders rallied after sputtering through the first quarter and trailing, 3-0.

“Things didn’t go our way early in the game. It shows just how far our team has come this year,” quarterback Jason Campbell said. “No one started fussing or getting upset. Everyone tried to keep their focus and just work through it.”

The Raiders stuck to Cable’s staunch belief in running the ball and playing physical, turnover-inducing defense.

Campbell will be back next season, and the Raiders’ best chance to continue this upward swing is to maintain long-lost continuity at the head-coach spot.

Cable is the Raiders’ best option, unless Davis enters the pricey Jim Harbaugh Derby and lures the former Raiders assistant out of Stanford.

Cable opened his postgame news conference Sunday by proudly declaring: “We’re not losers anymore.” It’s not the ideal motto you’d slap on the side of an AC Transit bus. But it’s taken eight seasons to say that again.

A better slogan came later, when Cable glowed about his offensive line’s ability to spring Michael Bush for 137 yards rushing in place of an injured Darren McFadden.

“Those guys up front crunched them all day,” Cable said.

The Raiders have a gallingly young offensive corps, a revamped defense and a lot of momentum thanks to this 8-8 resurrection. They have other questions aside from the coaching quandary.

How much will they spend to bring back Pro Bowl defenders Nnamdi Asomugha and Richard Seymour? How reluctant are they to add a veteran wide receiver who would complement a way-too-raw and inconsistent unit?

Seconds before Stanford Routt returned his interception for a touchdown, the Raiders led, 24-10, and the Chiefs’ radio broadcast brought in former coach Marty Schottenheimer for his analysis.

“I know these are not the Raiders team of old, when I would say to my team on the sideline, ’We got them right where we want them,’ “ said Schottenheimer, who was honored at halftime for his induction into the Chiefs Hall of Fame.

The Raiders are on the right track. Will that save Cable’s job? It might not. But it should.

That is as strong a case as I can make for him, a case I never thought I would make.

COMMENTARY

Raiders’ Cable has earned another chance

FREE STATE HIGH

rating is the lowest of his career.

The Vikings sunk to the bottom of the NFC North after starting the season with Super Bowl aspirations, coach Brad Childress was fired during the season, and Favre was fined $50,000 for failure to cooperate with an NFL investigation into allegations that he sent lewd photos and messages to a game-day hostess when both worked for the New York Jets in 2008.

Favre’s reputation took a serious hit from the humiliating scandal, which tarnished the image of one of the league’s most popular players.

He declined to comment on the fine after the game.

Edsall hired as Maryland football coach BALTIMORE — Randy Edsall, who diligently worked to build the Connecticut football program into a winner, has been hired to pull off a similar feat at Maryland.

Edsall was picked Sunday to replace Ralph Friedgen, who was fired after a 10-year run at his alma mater.

Edsall spent 12 years at Connecticut. He guided the Huskies out of Division I-AA (now FCS) and into the Big East, where he won a pair of conference titles and earned postseason appearances in each of the last four years.

Connecticut lost to Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday night.

Edsall The 52-year-old Edsall emerged as a surprise candidate for the job over the weekend. He beat out former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who was considered the favorite when the search began on Dec. 20.

Edsall, the 2010 Big East coach of the year, led the Huskies to eight or more wins in each of the last four seasons. He finished with a 7470 record at UConn.

Edsall did not accompany the team on its charter flight back to Connecticut, and players said he told them nothing of his coaching plans after the Fiesta Bowl loss to Oklahoma.

Maryland announced the hiring in a short press release Sunday night. The College Park school will hold a news conference this afternoon to introduce Edsall as its new football coach.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Clemson lets 2 aides go COLUMBIA, S.C. — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says offensive coordinator Billy Napier and running backs coach Andre Powell won’t be back with the Tigers.

Napier, who is 31, had been the youngest offensive coordinator in the Football Bowl Subdivision when he was elevated to the position last season.

WR Gurley to enter NFL Draft COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina third-year sophomore receiver Tori Gurley is headed for the NFL Draft. Gurley told ESPN on Sunday that he plans to give up his final two season with the Gamecocks and pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.

Regardless of who we play, we think we are better than any team out there.”

— Jets football coach Rex Ryan

TODAY IN SPORTS 1995 — Nebraska, the fourth team to finish 13-0 in Div. I-A football history, wins its first national football title since 1971 as the Cornhuskers are the overwhelming choice in the Associated Press poll.

2010 — Jamaal Charles rushes for a team-record 259 yards in Kansas City’s 44-24 win over Denver. The Broncos join the 1978 Redskins and ’03 Vikings as the only teams since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to miss the playoffs after a 6-0 start.

KU women to face UMKC, Free State grad

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tonight’s match-up between the Kansas University women’s basketball team and nearby Missouri-Kansas City will be much more than a midseason, nonconference tune-up for at least one player on the court: Ashli Hill, a former Free State High standout who grew up in Lawrence.

Thirteen games into her college career, Hill has started six times and is averaging 4.8

points and 3.1 rebounds per game. She also leads the team with 35 blocked shots.

The numbers don’t necessarily tell the whole story. Hill said she’s a much improved player from her high school days.

“I’m a better offensive player now,” she said. “I’m a post.

Strictly a center, not even a forward. I actually like that a lot because I’m a good passer out of the post, and I have teammates around me who can all shoot.”

Hill said she was ecstatic

about getting the opportunity to play against the Jayhawks, especially in Allen Fieldhouse.

Hill originally committed to play at Oklahoma State and expected to play the Jayhawks often throughout her career.

As a high school senior, she changed her mind and wound up at UMKC. So far, she’s enjoyed every second of it.

“I love UMKC, I love the coaching staff, and I love my teammates,” Hill said. “I wouldn’t change anything.”

Wyatt said in a release Sunday night. “Coach Gill and the staff are outstanding and are building something really special here. The opportunity to be close to home and get back to Texas was too much.

It is a great deal for me and my family to be close to home.”

Wyatt said the decision to leave was not an easy one.

“Turner made it very obvious that he wanted to keep me here,” Wyatt said. “He and the rest of the staff expressed how much we were wanted here, and I really appreciated that.”

Ultimately, though, the mighty Longhorns and comfort of home won out.

“We appreciate everything Darrell has done for Kansas football,” Gill said. “He is an outstanding coach.”

Wyatt, 44, has bounced around throughout his 21-year coaching career. In addition to his two stints at KU, Wyatt’s travels have taken him to: Trinity Valley, Sam Houston State, Wyoming, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona and Southern Mississippi.

Michael Bush rushed for 137 yards and Jason Campbell threw a TD pass for the Raiders, who beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium for the fourth year in a row and ruined their perfect home record.

Running back Darren McFadden and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Richard Seymour were inactive because of injuries, but the Raiders dominated from start to finish, intercepting two of Matt Cassel’s passes and getting seven sacks. The interceptions both led directly to Oakland’s last two scores. Jacoby Ford scored on a 10-yard reverse after Michael Huff’s interception, and Stanford Routt returned a pick 22 yards for the Raiders’ final TD when Cassel was hurried while throwing from his end zone.

The Chiefs were still digesting their lopsided loss several hours later when Indianapolis beat Tennessee, 2320, and determined their seed and first-round opponent.

The Chiefs’ worst home game of the season came on the heels of news that offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is returning to college coach-

He’s going to go to the University of Florida as a coordinator,” said Chiefs coach Todd Haley. “This is a bittersweet thing for me as the head coach. Charlie was obviously someone I was excited about having in here. That being said, Charlie is a family guy and he’s got a family situation, where he can go to Florida and be with his son, who is going to get into coaching.

This is a great situation for Charlie and I respect it 100 percent.”

Weis was not made available to the media.

The Raiders posted their best record since 2002 amid talk that Cable may be out; the team went to 17-27 since he became head coach four games into the 2008 season. It was the first time since ’02, when Oakland went to the Super Bowl, that it didn’t lose at least 11 games.

The Raiders had 344 total yards to Kansas City’s 201.

my friends and family. But I still want to win.”

The Jayhawks (12-1) are coming off an 80-57 victory over UT Arlington last week.

The victory pushed KU to its best start since 2005-06, when Bonnie Henrickson’s club also went 12-1 during the season’s first 13 games.

Tonight’s game marks the final contest of the nonconference schedule for the Jayhawks, who will open Big 12 play Saturday against Texas Tech at Allen.

RedHawks say KU better than Duke

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Few college basketball teams have the luxury — if that’s what you want to call it — of facing the three highestranked teams in the nation by the first week of January.

Miami (Ohio), which Kansas University defeated, 83-56, on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse, is one such team.

Miami coach Charlie Coles was more than happy to compare the Jayhawks to No. 1 Duke and No. 2 Ohio State.

“I don’t know if Kansas is the best,” Coles said. “But I don’t know if anybody’s better.”

Coles was animated during his postgame briefing, but more in the sense of an uncle telling stories around a campfire and less like a coach disappointed with his team’s play.

“Forgive me coach K, forgive me coach K,” said Coles, his voice elevating in volume with each word as he begged forgiveness from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. “With (Duke freshman) Kyrie Irving

out of there, it’d be hard for me to pick a No. 1. When he was playing with them, I thought, ‘This is a clear No. 1.’

It’s all even now.”

A couple of Coles’ players also chimed in, and they were more willing to give Kansas the edge.

“I didn’t play at Duke,” said senior Antonio Ballard, who finished with five points and four rebounds. “I was out for that game. But I did play against Ohio State. I think KU is better than them. Just from watching Duke, in my opin-

ion, I feel that KU is on top right now.”

Added sophomore Orlando Williams (11 points): “Individually, KU has (Duke) beat. But coaching-wise, Mike Krzyzewski’s got years under his belt and is a good leader.

I’m not saying that KU’s coach is a bad coach, because he is a really good coach.”

That showed Sunday during the final 10 minutes of the first half. With KU and Miami feeling each other out for the first several minutes, KU blew the game open midway

through the half by turning a 19-11 lead into a 33-11 cushion in a little more than two minutes.

The big blow during that stretch was an uncontested, two-on-none alley-oop off the backboard from KU’s Travis Releford to Elijah Johnson.

“I was very disappointed with our effort in the first half,” Coles said. “I don’t think Kansas really got going until there was about nine minutes to go in the first half. After that, it seemed like we backed off of them. I thought we would play better. I really did.”

After the showtime slam dunk, Coles immediately called timeout and pleaded with his team to bring better focus.

The RedHawks did, eventually, as KU won the second half by just a point.

But it was too little, too late.

“In the second half, I think we did play better,” Coles said.

“But, if you’re not the lead dog, the scenery never changes because you’re looking at people’s behinds. And we did a lot of looking at Kansas’ behinds.”

second half, a play that failed miserably.

“I didn’t say anything the first time, It was a 2-on-zero,” Self said of the flashy Releford feed off the backboard. “The second time wasn’t a 2-onzero. Elijah has to play a lot smarter than that. Elijah throwing the ball off the backboard, it was just really silly.

We got up by 33 and did some brain-dead things.”

The Jayhawks played much harder than Wednesday, following strenuous Self-run practices Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“The hardest practices I’ve ever had in my life,” freshman guard Selby said of practices that Marcus Morris (18 points to brother Markieff’s 20) said were “way, way harder” than preseason Boot Camp, which immediately sent him to bed for recovery time. “Just a lot of running. I hope we improved (defensively) because I don’t want to go through another practice like that.”

Self said he didn’t know if the difficult practices were the reason for improved play (Miami hit 39.2 percent of its shots to KU’s 57.4), “but I hope we can bottle it up and keep moving forward.

“We’ve spent a lot of time together the last few days, and when I say a lot, that is an understatement. I think the guys were excited to play against somebody other than themselves,” Self said.

Self was enthused by the play of Selby, who hit one of nine shots against UT Arlington.

“He was disappointed in his own play the other night,” Self said, adding, “He shot the ball well beyond the arc ... defense, rebounding, he was more a complete player today.”

KU will meet UMKC at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Allen.

IN THIS SEQUENCE OF IMAGES, KANSAS FORWARD MARCUS MORRIS (22) FINISHES A HIGH-FLYING DUNK and gets a foul from Miami (Ohio) University guard Antonio Ballard. Morris had 18 points in the Jayhawks’ 83-56 victory Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Reed, Jayhawks hit boards hard

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

During halftime of a game before winter break, Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self finally got through to KU guard Tyrel Reed about his lack of rebounding.

“He kind of made a joke like, ‘You’ve got a 40-inch vertical. Why don’t you use it?’”

Reed said.

Reed, talking after KU’s 8356 victory over Miami (Ohio) on Sunday, said something clicked for him following the coach’s comment.

The guard felt like he was wasting his athleticism.

“I think everyone laughed and everything,” Reed said, “but in my heart, I was like, ‘Hey, man, that’s the truth. I’ve got to do a better job with that.’”

In practice, Self emphasizes

NOTEBOOK

that his players “hit and go get it,” meaning they should first hit their man to box him out, then make an effort to get to the ball.

After spending most of the season executing only the first part, Reed has been more aggressive getting to rebounds lately.

The senior has grabbed at least four rebounds in each of his last three games. During that span, he has averaged five rebounds per game, which is impressive considering that coming into the season his career high for rebounds in a game was five.

The 6-foot-3 guard contributed four boards against Miami in what was a dominating rebounding effort for KU. The Jayhawks outrebounded the RedHawks, 46-17, after holding a 25-8 rebounding KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY (5) REJECTS A SHOT by Miami (Ohio) University forward Julian Mavunga. edge at halftime.

Johnson’s minor matter The website of the Douglas County sheriff’s office indicated Kansas University sophomore Elijah Johnson was arrested Saturday night for failure to appear in Douglas County District Court. An item on the website said Johnson paid a $100 fine.

KU coach Bill Self said Johnson hadn’t done anything wrong. KU officials said the situation was a minor matter.

Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Johnson went to KU’s police department on his own Saturday after being made aware of the matter.

“He had an unpaid traffic ticket from a long time ago,” Self said. “He took care of it months ago through an attorney. I don’t know what happened since then. That all will be rectified by tomorrow morning.

“It (ticket) was paid. I don’t know if it was clerical. He handled it through his attorney awhile ago. I’m sure Elijah will talk to him (attorney) about it because it was handled months ago. He hasn’t done anything wrong,” Self noted.

NFL head coaching changes loom all over The Associated Press

Five NFL coaches have already lost their jobs, and a whole lot more could be looking for new positions in the next few days.

Start with the state of Ohio, where Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis and Cleveland’s Eric Mangini are scheduled to meet with club executives today to decide their future.

Lewis no longer is under contract and is expected to move on after the Bengals lost to the Ravens, 13-7, to finish the season 4-12.

“All I know is, officially today I’m no longer employed,” Lewis said.

Mangini meets with Browns president Mike Holmgren, who could make a change after a 5-11 season, giving Mangini a 10-22 record in his two years.

“It’s a really disappointing way to end the season,” Mangini said. “There are not many positives to talk about.”

be in trouble include Miami’s Tony Sparano, Houston’s Gary Kubiak, Tennessee’s Jeff Fisher and Oakland’s Tom Cable.

Interim coaches Jason Garrett of Dallas and Leslie Frazier of Minnesota could soon get their jobs permanently.

John Fox coached his last game for the Carolina Panthers, a 31-10 loss to the Falcons, two days after it was announced he wouldn’t be back. He was the fifth coach to lose his job before the end of the season — the others were Wade Phillips (Cowboys); Brad Childress (Vikings), Josh McDaniels (Broncos); and Mike Singletary (49ers).

“It’s been a heck of a run,” Fox said. “...I would have never expected to have a nineyear run.”

There’s also been speculation Kubiak would return and fire many of his defensive assistants. The Texans lost eight of their final 10 games and had the league’s worst pass defense.

Counseling can help husband verbalize frustrations Annie’s Mailbox

balize your frustration instead of becoming too angry to be effective. It also can help Janice understand how her constant negativity and criticism undermine your relationship. Please try it.

Dear Annie: I laughed when I read your answer to “My Two Cents’ Worth,” saying some newlyweds combine their names to form a new one, giving genealogists fits. If you anniesmailbox@creators.com try to track down a Frenchstay is because I do not want Canadian family, you will find to be labeled a two-time loser out how hard it is. They use in the marriage department. I what are called “dit” names, have threatened to walk out more than once, but each time she claims she will be nicer and I believe it.

Janice seemed warm and fun when we first began dating. Now I wonder how our relationship evolved into this mess. I have thought about counseling, but when she barks at me, I can only think of running away. What do I do?

— Tired of Walking on Eggshells

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Former contestant and typecast cad Brad Womack returns to “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) to face some of the women he has wronged. Over the course of this season, “The Bachelor” will showcase musical acts including Train and Seal, and travel as far as South Africa for romantic getaways. Let the rose petals fall. ● “Antiques Road Show” (7 p.m., PBS) kicks off its 13th season with a three-week stay in Miami Beach, Fla. Fans of collecting and appraisal may also enjoy “Cash and Cari” (9 p.m., HGTV), starring treasure hunter Cari Cucksey, who helps homeowners discover, restore and resell antiques and overlooked treasure. ● Few TV producers have as avid a fan base as Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”). I should know: I heard from them when I gave his series “Firefly” a bad review when it premiered in 2002. I was not the only viewer underwhelmed, and “Firefly” quickly disappeared from the Fox schedule. But apparently, it has never been far from fans’ hearts. Tonight Ovation will kick off a weeklong “Firefly” marathon, airing three episodes a night all week, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Another cult favorite returns as IFC begins to air repeats of “The Larry Sanders Show” (10 p.m., IFC) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week. A hit for HBO in the pre-“Sopranos” years, Garry Shandling’s comedy, set on a fictional talk show, anticipated the loose, awkward, seemingly unscripted patter of “The Office” and other comedies. It received 56 Emmy nominations and introduced too many performers to list here. It allowed “real” guests to lampoon their public image, a tradition continued on series including “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Entourage.”

In the show’s final season, the fictional Larry was continually threatened by his fictional network to increase his ratings or be replaced by another talk show host — a then-little-known guy named Jon Stewart.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The mysterious messages continue on a new episode of “Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., ABC Family). ● Stanford and Virginia Tech meet in the Orange Bowl (7:15 p.m., ESPN). ● Lightman grills a suspected wifekiller on “Lie to Me” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A rehab facility comes under question “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT). ● “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) enters a new season with a warts-and-all profile of Gen. Robert E. Lee, hero of the Confederate military cause whose popularity in life ascended to near deification after his death in 1870. ● Jake McDorman stars in the rippedfrom the-headlines drama “The Craigslist Killer” (8 p.m., Lifetime). ● McGarrett’s sister is held hostage on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Castle’s recent novel “Heat Wave” is adapted for the big screen on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC). Laura Prepon (“That ’70s Show”) guest stars. ● Reports on his former bookie worry Joe on “Men of a Certain Age” (9 p.m., TNT).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Your dynamic thinking draws many people. You might wonder which way to go with a new friendship, child or creative project. Tonight: In the whirlwind of fun!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Anchor in, realizing your limits and knowing what is essential to stay steady. Everyone's domestic life plays into other areas. You are no exception. Tonight: Hanging out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Discuss a major change with a key associate, friend or family member. What you believe is happening might be off.

Dear Annie: I am in my late 40s, have a good career, am well-respected and well-educated, and have many friends and acquaintances. I keep in reasonable shape. I love my son, my siblings and my mother, and always want to do the best I can.

The problem is “Janice,” my 41-year-old wife of two years.

She criticizes me constantly. I can’t wash the dishes, empty the trash, drive a car, eat my food, buy the groceries, sleep or blow my nose without her berating me for doing it wrong or irritating her in the process.

Her criticism extends to my 11-year-old son from my first marriage. He is a great kid who does as he is told without talking back or giving any attitude. He gets good grades and is never in trouble. He stays with us every other weekend.

When he is here, I know my wife will be moody and unfriendly toward him.

Janice also gossips negatively about my friends and their wives, and then wonders why she isn’t invited to their social events. My wife has a terrific career, but whines constantly about her job.

Other than her sister, she doesn’t have close friends.

Janice and I argue a lot, mostly because I have grown tired of her knocking everything I do. The only reason I
