State’s shortfall grows; courts to seek efficiencies Projected budget gap now $550M By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas officials learned Wednesday that the state’s projected budget shortfall has grown to $550 million, as the state Supreme Court announced that it has appointed a commission to hunt for ways to make the judicial branch more efficient. The timing of the two events was a coincidence, but they underscored the state’s ongoing financial struggles. The projected budget gap grew because the state’s revenues in December fell short of expectations, and the new commission is largely a response to budget problems that forced court offices to close four extra days earlier this year.

The projected shortfall represents the gap between projected revenues and current spending commitments for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and it now represents about 9 percent of those commitments. Gov.-elect Sam Brownback and the Legislature will have to eliminate the gap once he takes office and lawmakers open their annual session, both Monday. Before December’s revenues were tallied, the projected shortfall was shy of $500 million. The new figure was contained in an internal Kansas Legislative Research Department report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, before the information began circulating to lawmakers and other officials. “It’s reflective of when you

have an economy that’s not going in the right direction,” said Brownback spokeswoman Brownback Sherriene Jones-Sontag. “There won’t be any good choices, but we’re hopeful that folks in Kansas who care about issues like education and social services help the governor-elect get the state’s economy growing again.” The Supreme Court’s announcement about its commission followed its decision in August to examine caseloads throughout the state’s judicial branch, generating information that takes into account which courts handle the largest number of com-

Abe & Jake’s lease available for $1.3M By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A prominent building along the banks of the Kansas River can be yours to use for $1.3 million. The operator of the Abe & Jake’s Landing building — which is just east of City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St., and just west of the former Riverfront Mall — is looking for someone to take over his long-term lease after he spent about 10 years renovating the building that used to house a barbed-wire factory in Lawrence’s early days. “I don’t live in Lawrence anymore and it is just really hard to maintain an active business there because of that,” said former Lawrence businessman Mike Elwell, who now lives in Florida. Technically, the city owns the 24,000-square-foot building and the

real estate along the south banks of the Kaw. But Elwell has a low-cost lease with the city that allows him to operate businesses out of the building until 2087. That lease is what’s City Manager for sale.

More leaving than coming to Kansas By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Whether it was the economy or a return of rural flight, more folks were moving out of Kansas than moving in last year. The state was one of nine noted in United Van Lines’ 2010 migration study for the high rate of people leaving the state. After several years of people coming and going from Kansas at a fairly balanced rate, a shift occurred in 2010. Of the 3,370 families United Van Lines moved, 44.1 percent were coming to Kansas and 55.9 percent were leaving. Kansas hasn’t seen such a gap since 2002, according to the company’s data. The balance was even more off kilter in Douglas County,

members decided last summer to initiate a review of the court system’s workload and its operations. “We’re tired of just reacting to events and having knee-jerk reactions,” Nuss said. “We spend a lot of time on this, and it just goes from event to event. Let’s do some long-range planning here, particularly concerning the financial situation.” The bulk of the judicial branch’s $121 million is financed with state tax dollars, and most of its costs are associated with its payroll — leaving it relatively little flexibility when funds grow short. That’s what led the Supreme Court to order unpaid days off for the court system’s employees earlier this year. Nuss said he’s hoping the commission’s work can serve as an example to other parts of state government.

Chief Justice Lawton Nuss said the commission can consider issues such as the number of court offices, their hours of operation, the use of technology to lower costs and increasing the system’s flexibility in using its staff. He said the goals are to preserve Kansans’ access to justice while delivering services as cost-effectively as possible. The commission has 24 members from across the state, led by Court of Appeals Judge Patrick McAnany and includes members appointed by Brownback, outgoing Gov. Mark Parkinson and legislative leaders. It includes trial judges, attorneys, business owners and state officials. Nuss said in an interview that the Supreme Court’s

Other Midwest states with high outbound migration in 2010 included Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, Illinois and Ohio. Monaco said the Department of Commerce has spearheaded a number of campaigns to keep recent college graduates in Kansas and to bring alumni back to the state.

He also said there is hope for more job growth with a rebound in the aviation industry and growth in wind energy. “We are optimistic, but, sure, folks are always going to come and go,” Monaco said. Nationally, New Jersey edged out Michigan for the percentage of residents leaving the state, at 62 percent. So where was everyone moving to? According to the study, Washington, D.C., had the highest percentage of people moving into its borders, followed by Oregon, North Carolina, Idaho and South Carolina.

Lawrence-based Stevens & Brand announced Wednesday that Six will join the firm as a partner after he leaves office next week.

Towering above downtown 1 | IRAQ

Cleric who fought U.S. returns from exile Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, a fierce opponent of the United States and head of Iraq’s most feared militia, came home Wednesday after nearly four years in self-imposed exile in Iran, welcomed by hundreds of cheering supporters in a return that solidifies the rise of his movement. Al-Sadr’s presence in Iraq ensures he will be a powerful voice in Iraqi politics as U.S. forces leave the country. He left Iraq in 2007 somewhat as a renegade, a firebrand populist whose militiamen battled American troops and Iraqi forces. He returns a more legitimized figure, leading an organized political movement that is a vital partner in the new government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Sadr can wield a bully pulpit to put strong pressure on al-Maliki — and is likely to demand that no American troops remain beyond their scheduled final withdrawal date at the end of this year. 2 | NEBRASKA

Vice principal dies after shooting The son of a police detective opened fire at a Nebraska high school Wednesday, fatally wounding the assistant principal and forcing panicked students to take cover in the kitchen of the building just as they returned from holiday break. The gunman, who had attended the school for no more than two months, also wounded the principal before fleeing from the scene and fatally shooting himself in his car about a mile away. Authorities declined to speculate about why the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Robert Butler Jr., targeted the administrators. Vice Principal Vicki Kaspar, 58, died at a hospital hours after the shooting, police said. Principal Curtis Case, 45, was listed in stable condition.

1 of 2 lottery winners steps forward The suspense over who bought the two winning tickets in the $380 million Mega Millions lottery focused Wednesday on two small towns nestled just 125 miles apart in the snow-covered Pacific Northwest. One was sold at a Safeway supermarket in eastern Washington, and the other in Post Falls, Idaho. Washington Lottery Communications Director Scott Kinney said the Washington ticket was sold to a retired man who plans to bring his family to claim his winnings today. But no one in Idaho has come forward yet to claim the prize. Each ticket is worth $190 million, paid in 26 annual installments. The prospect of winning the second biggest jackpot in history drew huge interest across the country as thousands of people lined up to buy tickets in the 41 states and Washington, D.C., where the lottery is held. 4 | ARIZONA

Man in custody following standoff A shootout at an upscale shopping center in suburban Phoenix sent shoppers fleeing and prompted a mall lockdown Wednesday as the suspect who had exchanged gunfire with officers holed up in a fast food restaurant, authorities said. The suspect surrendered Wednesday afternoon and no injuries were reported, officials said. Hours after the noon-hour, parking lot gunbattle, authorities reopened the Chandler Fashion Center following a search that had been made to confirm only one suspect was involved in both the shooting and the standoff. “Thankfully, nobody was shot and nobody got hurt,” Chandler police Sgt. Joe Favazzo said. The mall reopened at about 5 p.m. Wednesday after police SWAT teams with dogs finished their search. 5 | LONDON

More than five years after the Boardwalk Apartments fire, key evidence used in the criminal case against Jason Rose has still not been released to the public. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson’s office denied a Dec. 22 JournalWorld open records request for the arson report created by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The report, along with the testimony of ATF agents, helped prosecutors convict Rose on three counts of Branson manslaughter for setting the f ire that leveled the Boardwalk Apartments, killing three and injuring 17 others on Oct. 7, 2005. Branson’s Rose denial letter cited exemptions in open records laws that allow agencies to withhold records that could interfere with court proceedings. A request by the Journal-World to the ATF was also denied for similar reasons, and an appeal of that decision has been filed. Results from that appeal could take several weeks.

The wedding of William — a young Navy helicopter rescue pilot who is second in line for the throne — and Middleton, his girlfriend and confidante for nearly eight years, is expected to draw a gigantic global audience via television and the Internet.

Where does Kansas coach Bill Self rank among Big 12 head men’s basketball coaches in terms of Big 12 seniority?

Self is tied for second with Baylor’s Scott Drew. Both coaches are in their eighth seasons at their schools. Self took over at Kansas several months before Drew was hired by Baylor. Texas coach Rick Barnes leads the conference in Big 12 seniority and is in his 13th season in Austin. Missouri’s Mike Anderson, Nebraska’s Doc Sadler and Oklahoma’s Jeff Capel, in their fifth seasons, are tied for fourth.

I read in the paper the KU volleyball coach Ray Bechard grew up an hour west of Hays. Can you say exactly where?

He is a native of Grinnell, which is about 75 miles west of Hays.

Community organizations Trip to Lecompton set for Kansas Day discuss legislative needs By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Problems stemming from state budget cuts were on the minds of several representatives of local organizations Wednesday as they met with Douglas County legislators to talk about the needs of the community in preparation for the 2011 legislative session. Mitzi McFatrich, executive director of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, asked for adequate funding to avoid larger waiting lists for care to those with disabilities and the elderly. “I realize I’m preaching to the choir,” McFatrich said.

Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, who coordinated the meeting, answered, saying, “That’s all right because it’s the choir that gets the message out.” Representatives from nearly 20 groups met with legislators at the Lawrence school district administration building, 110 McDonald Dr. The legislative session starts Monday. Attending the meeting were Sens. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, and Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City; and Reps. Ballard, Tom Sloan, RLawrence, and Paul Davis, DLawrence; and Rep.-elect TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City. Overall state funding has been slashed by approxi-

mately $1 billion during the past two years as tax revenues fell during the recession. That has affected services provided on the local level. Stacey Hunter-Schwartz, executive director of Independence Inc., said the agency, which helps those with disabilities, has had to become much more dependent on volunteers. But with the state still facing an estimated $550 million budget def icit, HunterSchwartz said it was probably unrealistic to expect a funding increase. “Please, just don’t cut it anymore,” she said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Lawmaker calls Lawrence, KU ‘not very well-respected’ at event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Maybe Lawrence is the conscience of the state,” Ballard said. “Every community is different. Ours is different.” Their comments came during the chamber event at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H., which was attended by more than 150 people. The 2011 legislative session starts Monday with Gov.-elect Sam Brownback, a Republican, and a much larger Republican majority in the Legislature taking office. Several legislators praised the work that KU does but said public universities need to do a better job of letting the Legislature know about their successes. “The universities need to do a full-court press on the Legislature and tell them how they are creating jobs,” said state Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City. Higher education funding has been cut by $100 million

over the past two years because of tanking tax revenues, which have caused cuts across most state programs. The state still faces an estimated $550 million budget deficit, but that could grow to $850 million if a group of House Republicans has its way and repeals the 1-cent state sales tax increase that was approved during the last legislative session and went into effect July 1. Brown said he would push for repeal of the sales tax increase and said there was a good chance the Senate would approve it too, which would leave the matter up to Brownback. But Brownback has said he doesn’t want to repeal the tax increase. He found an ally Wednesday in House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence. “I praise Gov.-elect Brownback for standing by the Legislature and resisting

attempts to repeal that,” Davis said. Earlier in the program, Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx said the Brownback administration should look at Lawrence for examples of how communities develop businesses. “We can be the model,” Amyx said. Other legislators who spoke at the event were state Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence; state Reps. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, and Ann Mah, D-Topeka; and state Rep.-elect TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Randy Roberts, the accident occurred near the 2200 block shortly before 6 p.m. Roberts said a 27-year-old Lawrence man was driving southbound on Kasold Drive when he drifted left of the center line. He then struck a vehicle driven by a 33-year-old Lawrence woman. Police temporarily blocked traffic in the northbound lanes of Kasold while tow crews worked to clear the scene. The woman's silver SUV had heavy side damage while the man's passenger vehicle left the roadway and came to rest in some small trees on the east side of the road. The man fled the scene following the accident and was apprehended by police a few blocks away. He was transported to LMH with nonlife-threatening injuries.

County faces another hard year or two for budgeting By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

All this talk of — make that hope for — an economic turnaround is all well and good, but folks who put together the budget for Douglas County government know that even an immediate 180-degree turn wouldn’t be enough to accelerate into recovery anytime soon. “With the way tax revenues for local governments work — particularly those who depend on property taxes — the recovery does not result in increased revenue for counties until, perhaps, one and a half or two years later,” said Craig Weinaug, county Weinaug administrator. “We have at least one, possibly two more difficult budgets to prepare for 2011 and possibly 2012.” And while that means another challenging spring and summer for county-provided and county-financed programs and projects in 2011 and beyond, county leaders are continuing to do what they can to keep people working, get people working and draw more opportunities for people working. The county remains committed to an ongoing program that pumps money into a bioscience and technology “incubator” building on Kansas University’s West Campus, a place to grow businesses out of groundbreaking KU research and accommodate other promising startups. Among them is a f irm developing computer software for use by providers of mental health services. Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, one of the f irm’s co-owners,

receives county financing to provide mental health services and is Part 11 in a series: looking for DOUGLAS COUNTY avenues to both improve its own efficiencies and drive revenue as state assistance dwindles.

2011

A look ahead

Power in partnerships If such an effort can provide more jobs and help the area economy grow, Weinaug figures, that’s even better. Partnering with KU, the state of Kansas, the Kansas Bioscience Authority and the city of Lawrence — plus Eudora, Baldwin City and Lecompton on other projects — will remain a key part of the county’s plan for bolstering economic development. “There will be a continuation of those efforts,” Weinaug said. Decisions await on several other efforts with economicdevelopment implications. County commissioners will be asked to weigh in on an incentives package for a proposed Berry Plastics expansion along the Farmers Turnpike at the northwestern edge of town, an area where commissioners are facing decisions about potential industrial development. Commissioners also will be spending time in 2011 focusing on a major site on the other side of Lawrence: the Douglas County Jail, and the southeastern edge of town. County officials are busy studying what sort of expansions — physical or operational — may be needed for detention services in the years ahead. One possibility could be maintenance or expansion of a grantfinanced program that pro-

vides transition services for inmates leading up to, upon and following their release, to help secure employment and reduce the chances of such inmates returning to incarceration. Commissioners likely will entertain discussions about such programs and their implications for the future, Weinaug said. In 2013, the county will have a chance to refinance what remains of its debt on the jail’s construction, providing the potential for additional revenue to address physical or related programming needs at the jail. “The basic policy decision is whether future expansion of the jail will be additional beds or additional programs or some combination of the two,” Weinaug said.

Topeka tensions Weinaug doesn’t expect jail needs to decline, and not only because of the overall community’s growth. He worries about what elected officials in Topeka will do in the weeks and months ahead. “Voters have elected a legislature that is very unlikely to increase any revenues and may solve their budget problems by creating more problems for local government by taking revenue sources away from us or adding responsibilities for us,” he said. Among the possibilities: requiring that counties keep inmates “who should be in state penitentiaries” in county jails longer, just one of many “unfunded mandates” that either have come down in the past or could take shape in the future. “I hate to give them any ideas,” Weinaug said. “We anticipate another year where we are dealing with those types of situations.”

Notable ● Koch Industries Inc. has filed a federal lawsuit in Utah seeking the identities of the people behind a media hoax that claimed the company was shifting its financial commitments for climate change research and advocacy to more environmentally friendly groups. The lawsuit by the Wichitabased firm stems from a bogus website and fake news release issued last month that falsely announced the company was discontinuing its funding for organizations such as Americans for Prosperity and others whose positions on climate change no longer matched those of the company’s leadership. The hoax included a website with a similar web address and homepage of Koch Industries’ official site. The companies that registered and hosted the website are located in Utah.

Private-payroll report lifts hopes for more jobs WASHINGTON (AP) — Companies added nearly 300,000 jobs in December, according to an unofficial count by a private payroll firm — more than in any month in the past decade. The news raised hopes that the government’s official report Friday on last month’s job creation could be a blockbuster. While there were reasons to doubt the numbers, the report from Automatic Data Processing, and another showing strength in the nation’s service industries, reversed what was shaping up to be an ugly day on Wall Street. It also generated optimism that the unemployment rate might finally start to fall. Some economists expressed skepticism about ADP’s monthly figures because they often don’t track

case is still active because Rose has until March 2011 to file an appeal in federal court. Rose, with credit for time served in jail prior to his trial, is eligible for parole in June 2014. He was sentenced to 10 years. “We denied the request because that document we consider to be work product once it comes into our file, that the original document is either in the hands of ATF or in the court transcript,” Branson said Wednesday afternoon. “Our position is that our file remains open until all the appeals or time for appeals has passed. And that is the response that we have provided to ATF.” In September, on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Boardwalk f ire, Branson spoke at length with the Journal-World about the case. Keeping the arson report secret baffles Ken Bunting, director of the National Freedom of Information Center. “It’s absolutely insane,” said Bunting, calling the rationale of the ATF and

We denied the request because that document we consider to be work product once it comes into our file, that the original document is either in the hands of ATF or in the court transcript. Our position is that our file remains open until all the appeals or time for appeals has passed.” — Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson Branson “a huge stretch.” Bunting said he has never seen a prosecutor deny records so long after a conviction. Kansas City media attorney Mark Johnson echoed Bunting’s assessment. “I think the D.A. is not supported by law,” said Johnson, who stressed the intent of open records laws. “They are to be construed liberally.” At Rose’s 2007 trial, ATF agents testified that the fire started on a second-floor balcony of the apartment complex and that the fire was intentionally set. Rose, in a confession that he later recanted, told police that he set the fire in that general location. Rose’s defense attorney called a fire science consult-

ant to the stand at Rose’s trial who criticized the ATF agent’s testimony, citing inconsistencies in the conclusions about where and how the fire started. The attorney who handled Rose’s appeals, Kari Nelson, said she did not have the ATF arson report. Rose’s trial attorney, Ron Evans, provided through the Kansas State Board of Indigent Defense, said his office may still have the report, and could possibly provide the document when and if it is located. The ATF arson report has never been released and is not included in trial transcripts available to the public. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

That will help physicists determine where events occurred.” Wendorff said the entire ARA system will take years to implement, but, once it’s finished, signals will transfer information to different universities working on the program. “I didn’t know (initially) that I was going to go to the South Pole,” Wendorff said of the research. “I learned about that in May. I’ll be there for approximately two weeks.” The workload for the

research, along with aerospace engineering studies, would be daunting for some, but Wendorff takes everything in stride. “I just take things one day at a time and make sure that I get everything done that I want to get done,” he said. “People ask me how I do this — you have time, you just have to be efficient with what you are doing.” Wendorff said while the project was focused on physics, his duties related well to his area of study. “The way wind turbines generate power is using aerodynamic blades,” he said. “That’s the same way that an airplane flies through the air.

the official government employment data. Others said that the report’s estimate of job gains was so high that it at least reinforced evidence that hiring is picking up as employers gain more confidence. Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, says the ADP numbers suggest the Bureau of Labor Statistics could report Friday that the economy created more than 300,000 jobs last month. Economists have been predicting fewer than half as many — 145,000. It takes about 125,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth and hold the unemployment rate — now 9.8 percent — stable. It takes up to 300,000 new jobs a month to reduce the unemployment rate significantly.

State sending warnings about dangers of 15-passenger vans By Christine Metz

HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER of Ohio reacts during a pause while participating in ceremonial swearing-in with representatives Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington.

GOP takes charge: New speaker leads House By David Espo Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Claiming power beneath the Capitol dome, resurgent Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives on Wednesday as the 112th Congress convened in an era of economic uncertainty. Dozens of tea party-backed lawmakers took office in both houses, eager to cut spending and reduce government’s reach. “The people voted to end business as usual, and today we begin carrying out their instructions,” said newly elected House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, replacing Democrat Nancy Pelosi and transformed instantly into the nation’s most powerful Republican in a new era of divided government. Both the House and the Senate convened at the constitutionally mandated hour of noon for a day of pageantry and bipartisan flourishes that contrasted sharply with the fierceness of the midterm elections that set the new roll of lawmakers. In the Senate, where Democrats retain control, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada selected retired Republican Sen. Paul Laxalt to accompany him when he took the oath for a new term. In the House, children and grandchildren squirmed in the laps of their elders, less than transfixed at the historic events unfolding around them. Republicans hold a 242-193 conservatives’ majority in the House and have pledged to challenge President Barack Obama both with legislation and with their power to investigate. The first salvo is

expected next week, a bill to repeal the sweeping health care law that Democrats pushed to passage 10 months ago and have vowed to defend. Reid signaled as much, and more, in a speech marking the beginning of a new two-year Congress. “We have to do even more to help middleclass families, to create jobs, to hasten our energy independence, to improve our children’s education and to fix our broken immigration system,” he said. Within a few hours of the opening gavel, Democrats unveiled a plan to limit the ability of Republicans to filibuster their legislation. No resolution is expected for weeks. Sixteen blocks away, Obama seemed content to renew old battles in some areas at the same time he calls for bipartisanship in others. The White House resubmitted numerous appointments left over from 2010 for Senate confirmation, including four nominees for federal judgeships blocked by Republicans last year. Senate Republicans gained six seats in last fall’s elections, and their leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said the voters had made it clear they “want lawmakers to cut Washington, tackle the debt, rein in government and to help create the right conditions for private sector growth.” The day’s events unfolded as the economy, which was the dominant issue in the elections, showed signs of increased strength as it emerges from the worst recession in eight decades. Even so, unemployment remains at nearly 10 percent,

a historically high level, and a problem that politicians of both parties have vowed to tackle. Additionally, instead of merely opposing Obama’s every proposal, as they did in 2009 and 2010, House Republicans in particular must compromise with him if they are to show results in their drive to cut spending. Yet their eagerness to vote quickly on repealing the health care bill is in line with a nocompromise position articulated by the tea party forces that helped propel many GOP challengers to victory. For his part, Obama will be forced to compromise with Republicans, much as he did in last month’s lame duck session of Congress when compromise legislation was approved to avert an increase in income taxes, enact a cut in Social Security taxes and extend jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed. “The big changes today are of course happening across the dome,” McConnell said in his remarks, “and I’d like to welcome the many new Republican members of Congress who’ve come to Washington to change the way things are done around here.” With that, he walked across the Capitol to witness Boehner’s moment of triumph. Given to displays of emotion, Boehner paused to dab at his eyes with a handkerchief as he made his way to the speaker’s rostrum. His was an unlikely ascension, capping two decades in Congress in which the 61-year-old Ohioan held and then lost a leadership position when Republicans were last in a majority. He re-emerged as leader of a dispirited minority in 2006.

Gibbs, spokesman and adviser to Obama, quitting his job By Ben Feller Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Robert Gibbs, the feisty press secretary whose job as President Barack Obama’s chief spokesman and confidant has given him an outsized presence at the White House, announced Wednesday he was quitting for the less demanding, more lucrative role of giving paid speeches and advising the president from the outside world. In a rapidly unfolding makeover, Obama was also closing in on a decision whether to tap William Daley, a former commerce secretary, for the vital gatekeeping job of White House chief of staff. Obama and Daley met at the White House on Wednesday, and a presidential decision on that position was expected within days. The changes means Obama is resetting his presidency as core members of his team head for the door, with senior adviser David Axelrod soon to follow and uncertainty looming over who will permanently replace Rahm

Emanuel, another defining figure who quit as the top White House manager three months ago to run for Chicago mayor. Obama aides are promising stability, particularly as former campaign manager David Plouffe joins the senior staff on Monday, but even Gibbs acknowledged what’s happening is a “pretty major retooling.” “It’s a good time to get some fresh voices, including somebody up here,” Gibbs, 39, said from his familiar perch behind the White House briefing room lectern. The crowd for his question and answer session with reporters was bigger than normal — the news media and Gibbs’ staff members packed the room after word had gotten out about his decision. But otherwise, it was a classic Gibbs briefing: a bit late in starting and then filled with winding answers, stern defenses of the president’s policies and wisecracks with his questioners. As attention centers on the new Congress, Obama is installing the leadership that

will help define his agenda, the way he cooperates with or combats Republicans and his re-election style. Of all the faces coming and going, Gibbs is perhaps the one best known to America through his nonstop appearances on television and his forays into social media like Twitter. Obama is now deciding whether to stick with his respected, below-the-radar Pete Rouse as chief of staff, or bring in Daley, a banking executive who’s more comfortable in front of the cameras. That decision appears largely to be a matter of whether Rouse, the interim chief, wants to stay on for another two years. A combination of internal fatigue and a demand to shift people to the 2012 re-election campaign effort is fueling all the personnel changes. The president is expected on Friday to name a new top economic adviser, likely Treasury official Gene Sperling. And no matter who serves as chief of staff, both deputy chiefs of staff, Jim Messina and Mona Sutphen, are leaving soon.

isn’t good news. Kansas Departments of Revenue and Transportation are sending out 5,000 letters to all the registered owners of 15-passenger vans in Kansas to alert them to the safety concerns surrounding these vehicles. The letters, which are rare, were prompted by a consumer advisory from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That advisory came after two fatal rollover crashes in New York and Georgia. “I think it is the fact that 10 people lost their lives that really sparked this,” KDOT spokesman Chris Bortz said. The NHTSA has found that the 15-passenger vans have a higher risk of rolling over and those risks increase when the van is fully loaded. Research also found that fatal rollovers of the vans most likely involved tire failure. Since 2005, federal law prohibits schools from using 15passenger vans to transport high school age and younger students.

— Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman Chris Bortz In particular, the NHTSA wanted to alert church groups, nonprofit organizations and colleges that were keeping older 15-passenger vans in service because of tight budgets. In Lawrence, the safety concerns surrounding 15-passenger vans has already prompted changes. Of its fleet of 90 vans, Kansas University has only two vans that carry 15 passengers, said Steve Green, associate director of facilities operations. About a decade ago, KU adopted a policy that outlawed the purchase of 15-passenger vans because of a study that showed the high risk of rollovers. Most were replaced with 12-passenger vans, Green said. Of the two remaining vans, one is a 1998 model and the other one was purchased after a special request was made by the geology department.

For Lawrence P ublic Schools, the large vans haven’t been used in years, said Rick Gammill, the director of special operations, safety and transportation. Cottonwood Inc., a nonprofit that provides services to those with disabilities, has one 15-passenger van out of its fleet of 39. Peggy Wallert, director of community relations and development, said the organization plans to replace it next year with a smaller van. “We just feel that all around, it’s better for us to have the 12-passenger or smaller vehicle,” Wallert said. The letter the two state agencies sent to van owners will arrive in the next few days. Included in the letter are these safety tips for owners: ● Properly maintain the vehicle. ● Make sure the van is operated by a fully-trained and experienced driver. ● Never overload the van. ● Use the right size of tires. ● Check the tires to make sure they are properly inflated and not worn. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

Lawrence Give Back gets new owner ————

The World Company purchases local rewards program By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A Lawrence firm that markets the value of locally owned and operated businesses has been bought by the parent company of the Lawrence Journal-World. The World Company finalized a deal this month to purchase the Lawrence Give Back Program, which offers loyalty cards to shoppers who can use the cards to get discounts at a host of Lawrence merchants while having some of the proceeds from their purchases donated to local nonprofits. “We plan to bring this exceptional program to a larger audience,” said Edwin Rothrock, director of market strategies for The World Company. The Give Back Program was founded by Lawrence businesswoman Constance Wolfe in early 2009. She will serve as the program’s manager for The World Company. Wolfe said the major details of the program will be unchanged. The Give Back cards will remain available free of charge at participating businesses and at the JournalWorld’s offices. When consumers present the card at the time of a purchase, 1 percent to 5 percent of the purchase price is donated to a nonprofit of their choice. Cardholders also will receive points that can be turned into store credit once they’ve hit a certain level of purchases.

Participating businesses will be limited to locally owned and operated companies. “What we’re trying to strive for here is economic sustainability,” Wolfe said. “If consumers in Lawrence could just shift 10 percent of their annual spending back to Lawrence, that would be a tremendous boost to the economy.”

Currently the program has about 50 merchants and about 100 nonprofits that participate. Since its inception, the program has distributed about $100,000 to local nonprofits and about $85,000 worth of store credit to cardholders. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

Journal: Study linking vaccine to autism was fraud L O N D O N ( AP ) — The first study to link a childhood vaccine to autism was based on doctored information about the children involved, according to a new report on the widely discredited research. The conclusions of the 1998 paper by Andrew Wakef ield and colleagues was renounced by 10 of its 13 authors and later retracted by the medical journal Lancet, where it was published. Still, the suggestion the MMR shot was connected to autism spooked parents worldwide and immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella have never fully recovered. A new examination found, by comparing the reported diagnoses in the paper to hospital records, that Wakefield and colleagues altered facts about patients in their study.

The analysis, by British journalist Brian Deer, found that despite the claim in Wakefield’s paper that the 12 children studied were normal until they had the MMR shot, five had previously documented developmental problems. Deer also found that all the cases were somehow misrepresented when he compared data from medical records and the children’s parents. Wakefield could not be reached for comment despite repeated calls and requests to the publisher of his recent book, which claims there is a connection between vaccines and autism that has been ignored by the medical establishment. Wakef ield now lives in the U.S. where he enjoys a vocal following including celebrity supporters like Jenny McCarthy. Deer’s article was paid for

by the Sunday Times of London and Britain’s Channel 4 television network. It was published online today in the medical journal BMJ. In an accompanying editorial, BMJ editor Fiona Godlee and colleagues called Wakefield’s study “an elaborate fraud.” They said Wakefield’s work in other journals should be examined to see if it should be retracted. Last May, Wakefield was stripped of his right to practice medicine in Britain. Many other published studies have shown no connection between the MMR vaccination and autism. But measles has surged since Wakefield’s paper was published and there are sporadic outbreaks in Europe and the U.S. In 2008, measles was deemed endemic in England and Wales.

Curses! Romania’s witches forced to pay income tax By Alison Mutler Associated Press Writer

MOGOSOIA , R OMANIA — Everyone curses the tax man, but Romanian witches angry about having to pay up for the first time are planning to use cat excrement and dead dogs to cast spells on the president and government. Also among Romania’s newest taxpayers are fortune tellers — but they probably should have seen it coming. Superstitions are no laughing matter in Romania — the land of the medieval ruler who inspired the “Dracula” tale — and have been part of its culture for centuries. President Traian Basescu and his aides have been known to wear purple on certain days, supposedly to ward off evil. Romanian witches from the east and west will head to the southern plains and the Danube River today to threaten the government with spells and spirits because of the tax law, which came into effect Jan. 1. A dozen witches will hurl the poisonous mandrake plant into the Danube to put a hex on government officials “so evil will befall them,” said a witch named Alisia. She identified herself with one name — customary among Romania’s witches. “This law is foolish. What is there to tax, when we hardly earn anything?” she said by telephone Wednesday. “The lawmakers don’t look at themselves, at how much they make, their tricks; they steal and they come to us asking us to put spells on their enemies.” The new law is part of the government’s drive to collect more revenue and crack down on tax evasion in a country that is in recession. In the past, the less mainstream professions of witch, astrologer and fortune teller were not listed in the Romanian labor code, as were those of embalmer, valet and driving instructor. Those who

BRIEFLY Sunset Hill ‘march’ to help homeless The upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is giving students throughout the United States an opportunity to learn about the slain civil rights leader. In Lawrence, they’ll also get an early start following his ideals for helping people in need. Students, staffers and families from Sunset Hill School plan to “march” at 10 a.m. Saturday from Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., to Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th. Members of the community also are invited to participate, but school leaders ask that no pets be included. All participants in the 0.4mile march are asked to bring along at least one canned good to be donated to the homeless shelter. Canned goods also may be delivered by Friday to the school, 901 Schwarz Road.

Trial begins for accused robber Jurors on Wednesday began hearing evidence in the trial of an 18-year-old Lawrence man accused of planning and taking part in a June robbery of a Kansas University student in Oread Neighborhood. During his opening statement Wednesday afternoon, Mark Simpson, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, accused defendant Jermel Fleming of wearing a mask the night of June 20 and taking a sawed-off shotgun into an apartment in the 900 block of Tennessee Street. Simpson said witnesses will testify four men entered the apartment that night, and after

the resident was struck in the face he was held at gunpoint as the men took electronics, cash and a small amount of marijuana. Prosecutors told jurors the other co-defendants in the case have either entered pleas or received immunity and plan to testify that Fleming orchestrated the robbery because he had an associate ask the alleged victim if he could buy marijuana from him that night. Fleming faces five counts including aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnapping and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. His attorneys on Wednesday reserved the right to make an opening statement once prosecutors finish presenting their case.

Local groups receive grants The Kansas Health Foundation has given $1 million to help organizations across the state accomplish 59 projects intended to improve the health and wellness of Kansans. The foundation’s recent recognition grants range from $1,400 to $25,000, and two local groups received these grants: ● $24,991 to Tiny-K Foundation, which helps facilitate growth and development for Kansas children with disabilities by connecting them with support services. This project will hire experts to research potential ways to leverage funds and donations, and to develop an awareness/marketing plan for the foundation. ● $22,500 to Lawrence Public Library Foundation to expand participation in a summer reading program by partnering with other community organizations and reaching out to at-risk children, people who

don’t speak English, seniors and people with disabilities. The project plans to offer expanded programming featuring authors, musicians and dancers, and it will offer incentives to participants for completing the reading program.

Program on healing depression scheduled Roxanne Reneé, a depression survivor, will give a program about natural mental health. Reneé is the author of “Laughing Again: A Survivor’s Guide to Healing Depression.” She also is a motivational speaker, wellness trainer and therapeutic life coach at Wellness Dimensions, and serves on the chaplain team at Liberty Hospital in Missouri.

ROMANIAN WITCH MIHAELA MINCA, RIGHT, speaks Wednesday during an interview with The Associated Press, as her daughter and apprentice Casanndra, left, looks on, in Mogosoaia, Romania. Trouble is brewing for Romania’s witches, whose toil is being taxed for the first time despite their threats of putting curses on the government. worked those jobs used their lack of registration to evade paying income tax. Under the new law, like any self-employed person, they will pay 16 percent income tax and make contributions to health and pension programs. Some argue the law will be hard to enforce, as the payments to witches and astrologers usually are made in cash and relatively small at 20 to 30 lei ($7-$10) per consultation. Mircea Geoana, who lost the presidential race to Basescu in 2009, performed poorly during a crucial debate, and his camp blamed attacks of negative energy by their opponent’s aides. Geoana aide Viorel Hrebenciuc alleged there was a “violet flame” conspiracy during the campaign, saying Basescu and other aides dressed in purple on Thursdays to increase his chance of victory. They continue to be seen wearing purple clothing on important days because the color supposedly makes the wearer superior and wards off evil. Such spiritualism has long been tolerated by the Orthodox Church in Romania, and

the late Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, had their own personal witch. Queen witch Bratara Buzea, 63, who was imprisoned in 1977 for witchcraft under Ceausescu’s repressive regime, is furious about the new law. Sitting cross-legged in her villa in the lake resort of Mogosoaia, just north of Bucharest, she said Wednesday she planned to cast a spell using a particularly effective concoction of cat excrement and a dead dog, along with a chorus of witches. “We do harm to those who harm us,” she said. “They want to take the country out of this crisis using us? They should get us out of the crisis because they brought us into it.” “My curses always work!” she cackled in a smoky voice. She sat next to her woodburning stove, surrounded by potions, charms, holy water and ceramic pots. Not every witch is threatening fire and brimstone. “This law is very good,” said Mihaela Minca. “It means that our magic gifts are recognized and I can open my own practice.”

Center builds network to hit militants

W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The Obama administration has ramped up its secret war on terror groups with a new military targeting center to oversee the growing use of special operations strikes against suspected militants in hot spots around the world, according to current and former U.S. officials. Run by the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command, the new center would be a significant step in streamlining targeting operations previously scattered among U.S. and battlefields abroad and giving elite military officials closer access to Washington decision-makers and counterterror experts, the officials said. The center aims to speed the sharing of information and shorten the time between targeting and military action, said two current and two former U.S. officials briefed on the project. Those officials and others insisted on condi-

tion of anonymity to discuss the classified matters. The creation of the center comes as part of the administration’s increasing reliance on clandestine and covert action to hunt terror suspects as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have tested the country’s patience and pocketbook. The White House has more than doubled the numbers of special operations forces in Afghanistan alone, as well as doubling the CIA’s use of missile strikes from unmanned drones in Pakistan and expanding counterterror operations in Yemen. JSOC’s decision-making process in counterterror operations had previously been spread between special operations officials at Pope Air Force base in North Carolina, top officials at the Pentagon and commanders on the battlefield. Now located at a classified address a short drive from the

Pentagon, the center is staffed with at least 100 counterterror experts fusing the military’s special operations elite with analysts, intelligence and law enforcement officials from the FBI, Homeland Security and other agencies, the U.S. officials said. The new center is similar in concept to the civilian National Counterterrorism Center, which was developed in 2004 as a wide-scope defensive bulwark in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to share intelligence and track terrorist threats. But the new military center focuses instead on the offensive end of counterterrorism, tracking and targeting terrorist threats that have surfaced in recent years from Pakistan to Yemen and Somalia and other hot zones. Its targeting advice will largely direct elite special operations forces in both commando raids and missile strikes overseas.

Full-time job Kansans deserve the full attention of their statewide elected officials.

hen the voters of Kansas elect a state official, they are hiring that person to do a job. State offices are important jobs that Kansans assume will get the full attention of the people they elect. Surprisingly, not every elected official in Kansas shares that assumption. Kris Kobach, who will take office next week as Kansas secretary of state, has said he will work at least 40 hours a week in his state job but he also plans to continue doing outside legal work related to immigration law during his “spare time.” Kobach’s plan has raised concerns among a number of Kansans, including Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, who will push for legislation that reminds state officeholders of the responsibilities of their jobs. The legislation would prohibit not only holders of statewide elective office but also some appointed cabinet secretaries and department heads from pursuing significant outside jobs while they are in office. Kobach has promised to fight the proposal, saying it is “a brazen attempt to stop me from making the progress and reforms I’ve made in the illegal immigration area.” Perhaps so, but that isn’t the job the voters of Kansas hired Kobach to do. They hired him to be the secretary of state. Having state officials pursuing second careers while in office raises serious concerns. First, in everything they do, state officials represent the state of Kansas. They don’t punch a time clock after which they can pursue any interest they have regardless of how it might reflect on the state. Even if everyone in Kansas agreed with Kobach’s activities concerning illegal immigration, there certainly is a long list of other jobs or professions that Kansans wouldn’t want their state officials pursuing while in office. Another key issue is the money. Presumably, Kobach will be paid for the legal services he provides on his second job. Perhaps that money will have no influence on his activities as secretary of state, but allowing state officials to hold significant outside jobs sets a dangerous precedent. Paying a state official to do another job while in office would be a handy way for an outside group or corporation to try to exert influence over state policy. At the very least, that employment would cast doubt on the official’s ethics and raise questions about possible conflicts of interest. It’s good that Kobach has been forthright about his plans so that the state has an opportunity to establish some parameters for state officeholders that probably should have been set long ago. It is surprising that an elected state official would view his or her job as anything less than a 24-7 commitment to the people of Kansas, but apparently there is a need to clarify that point.

Willpower does battle with free will “our flesh Surrounds us with its own decisions” — Philip Larkin W A S H I N G T O N — Wonder why you have already broken all your New Year’s resolutions? Do not blame yourself — heaven forbid. Enlist modern sophistication and blame your brain’s frontal cortex, affluence, the Internet (the “collapse of delay between impulse and action”) and “the democratization of temptation.” Those phrases are from Daniel Akst, a novelist and essayist whose book “We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess” notes that the problems of freedom and affluence — of “managing desire in a landscape rich with temptation” — are desirable problems. But they are problems and have fascinating philosophic entanglements. American life resembles “a giant all-you-can-eat buffet” offering “calories, credit, sex, intoxicants” and other invitations to excess. Americans accept these invitations so promiscuously that bad decisions about smoking, eating, drinking and other behaviors account for almost half of U.S. deaths in “our losing war with ourselves.” Life in general has become what alcohol is — disinhibiting. First, America was transformed from a nation of want into one of wants. Then the 1960s repudiated restraint, equating it with repression. Next, inflation in the 1970s discouraged delay of gratification.

“

American life resembles ‘a giant all-youcan-eat buffet’ offering ‘calories, credit, sex, intoxicants’ and other invitations to excess.” Today, capitalism has a bipolar disorder, demanding self-controlled workers yet uninhibited shoppers. “Want to buy something?” Akst asks. “Chances are that nearby stores are open (many Wal-Marts virtually never close), and with plastic in your pocket you’ve got the wherewithal.” The Internet further reduces life’s “frictional costs.” But it increases distractions. Increasingly, Americans work at devices that can be stereos, game players, telephones, movie screens and TVs. The inhibiting intimacy of the village has been supplanted by the city’s “disinhibiting anonymity.” Even families have dispersed within the home: Time was, they listened to one radio together; then came the transistor. As traditional social structures have withered under disapproval, and

personal choice and self-invention have been celebrated, “second careers, second homes, second spouses, and even second childhoods are commonplace.” What the cartoon character Pogo said many decades ago (“We have met the enemy and he is us”) is especially true of us wielding knives and forks: One-third of Americans are merely overweight, another third are obese. Since 1980, obesity has doubled. Akst says 1980 was about the time when the microwave oven became ubiquitous: The oven is emblematic of the plummeting effort required per calorie ingested. One estimate is that Americans’ per capita caloric intake has increased 22 percent since 1980, and the number of diabetics has more than quadrupled. Pondering America’s “aristocracy of self-control,” Akst notes that affluent people, for whom food is a relatively minor expense, are less likely than poor people to be obese. Surely this has something to do with habits of self-control that are conducive to social success generally. Environmental stimuli and our genetic inheritances circumscribe self-control, but Akst insists that we are not merely fleshy robots responding to them. Skepticism about free will has, however, become convenient and soothing, because exculpatory behaviors once considered signs of bad character have been drained of moral taint by being medicalized as “addictions.” When a political operative went five years without

filing income tax returns, his lawyer explained this as “non-filer syndrome.” Akst wonders: “Isn’t it possible we are confusing human diversity with disease?” If someone holds a gun to your head and demands, “Don’t blink or I’ll shoot,” you are doomed. But not if the demand is “Don’t drink or I’ll shoot.” Unlike Isaac Bashevis Singer, who said, “Of course I believe in free will — I have no choice,” Akst sides with William James: “My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will.” Akst says “we create the patterns that we are victims of,” and he considers the idea of self-control “perhaps tautological” because “who else besides me could possibly be in charge of myself, after all?” As Akst recognizes, arguments about the reality of personal autonomy have political resonances: “If you believe your life is largely the result of your own discipline and decisions, you’re going to feel very differently about taxes, regulations and redistribution than if you believe your life is largely the sum of your genes and your environment — factors irretrievably beyond your control.” Willpower, Akst says, is like a muscle that can be strengthened but is susceptible to exhaustion. Did you tell lots of people — did you blog about — your New Year’s resolutions? Akst knows why you didn’t: “self-control fatigue,” which is as American as microwaved apple pie.

Lawrence city commissioners were considering a request by YEARS “Lawrence AGO Kansans for Life” to IN 1986 proclaim the week of Jan. 18 “Abortion Awareness Week.” A representative from the local group said that the week was intended to provide information about abortion. The executive director of Kansas National Abortion Rights Action League said that she was planning to attend the commission meeting and oppose the proclamation. Mike Hayden, who had been serving in the Kansas House of Representatives for 13 years, announced that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in the August 1986 primary election.

Six years ago I went to Auschwitz. I remember being surprised at the number of Israeli school groups there, some literally wrapped in their national flag. Israeli school kids, it turns out, often visit the death camp as a means of understanding the genocide that decimated their people. Learning this left me, not for the first time, impressed with the way Jews have institutionalized Holocaust education. A subject that was considered largely taboo into the 1970s has since become the object of manifold museums, memorials and oral histories. As Maryla Korn, a survivor from Washington, once told the Washington Jewish Week newspaper, “Maybe by talking and telling our stories, we can restrain another little monster from coming up. How can you not talk?” Her words stand in stark contrast to the responses I once received from two black women when I asked them to describe a lynching they witnessed in 1930. “I try and put that behind me,” said Sarah E. Weaver-Pate. “I’d just rather forget that.” “Why bring it up?” snapped Clara Jeffries. “It’s not helping anything. People don’t want to hear it.” Every January we hear Martin Luther King’s great speech. Every February, school kids dress up as black inventors or social leaders. But there is in us — meaning the African-American community — a marked tendency to avoid the grit, gristle and grime of our history. The telling of those stories is neither institutionalized nor even particularly encouraged. It is time for that to change. I sat down today intending to

Jews have endured a “similar experience, as seen in their struggle against Holocaust deniers. African-Americans must respond as the Jews have. We must bear witness.”

write a different column. I was going to blast Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour for his remarks about the so-called “Citizens Councils,” which were popular in the South beginning in the 1950s. “Up north they think it was like the KKK,” he said last month in an interview with The Weekly Standard. “Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town.” It’s a benign, misleading picture sharply at odds with the historical record. The Citizens Councils — originally the “White” Citizens Councils — served the same purpose social conservatism often does today: to give racism intellectual and moral cover and provide a camera-friendly alternative to the brutish ignorance of the Klan. But

their mission was never in doubt. “The Citizens’ Council is the South’s answer to the mongrelizers,” crowed one pamphlet. “We will not be integrated. We are proud of our white blood and our white heritage of sixty centuries. ... We are certainly not ashamed of our traditions, our conservative beliefs, nor our segregated way of life.” Which is hardly consonant with the impression Barbour leaves, but let that slide. The governor, after all, is hardly unique. Like Glenn Beck saying conservatives authored the civil rights movement and Civil War apologists claiming slavery did not cause that conflict, he is part of an appallingly audacious conservative effort to rewrite African-American history. Jews have endured a similar experience, as seen in their struggle against Holocaust deniers. African-Americans must respond as the Jews have. We must bear witness. The energy spent blasting Haley Barbour could more productively be spent starting an oral history project at church. Or bringing elder speakers into schools to share segregation memories. Or encouraging children to visit and mark the crucible places of their ancestors. Or ...? We must claim our remembered passages. It is in those passages that a people define themselves. And Barbour’s sugarcoating of African-American history offers a stark reminder: If we don’t tell our stories, someone else will. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Potter Lake had been declared safe for ice skating. A recent run of nearYEARS zero temperatures AGO had thickened the IN 1971 surface ice to about three and a half inches, said Henry Shenk, professor of physical education at Kansas University. It had been determined that KU students had paid out over $55,000 in parking fines during the fiscal year which had ended June 30, 1970. As large as this amount was, it comprised only onethird of the total parking revenue at the university, which was slightly above $146,000. The revenue was made up mostly of funds derived from the sale of parking permits, income from metered lots, and athletic parking revenues.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 6, 1911: YEARS “Running at a AGO high rate of speed, IN 1911 northbound Santa Fe passenger No. 18 due here at 5:26 crashed into the rear end of a heavy freight train a mile south of Mulvane last night. Engineer John Shields and Fireman C. H. Zernstein, of the leading engine of No. 18, were both killed, and also Brakeman W. T. Sias, who was believed to have been riding on the engine. No passengers were injured, although several were shaken up. All equipment was saved except the mail and baggage cars, which were destroyed by fire.” “Patrons of a certain Lawrence restaurant were kind to one of the working girls on Christmas. Those who sat at her tables made a purse of $16.75 and gave it to her as a Christmas present. This is more than she could have earned in three weeks.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

BRIEFLY Wildlife, parks group meeting in Lawrence

Lawrence library debuts its new logo

Today, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Commission will meet in Lawrence to discuss everything from big-game regulations to mountain lion sightings. The commission will meet from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and then reconvenes at 7 p.m., all at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive. Public comment on items not on the agenda will be taken shortly after the start of the afternoon and evening sessions. Kicking off the meeting will be an overview of the commission’s legislative agenda. The group also will discuss biggame permits, trapping at Kanopolis, mountain lion sightings and firearm magazine capacity. In the afternoon, a workshop session will be held to prepare the commission for future regulations on turkey, antelope and elk season. In the evening, the commission will cover deer regulations, big-game permit regulations, potential regulations for aquatic nuisance species and wildlife control permits. The meeting will end with a public hearing on the days when park entrance and fishing is free.

Lawrence Public Library has debuted a new logo that library officials say can be interpreted in a number of ways. Bruce Flanders, library director, said the new logo cost $2,700 and was designed by local graphic artist Billy Pilgrim. The library, 707 Vt., hasn’t had a new logo in more than 10 years. “We wanted to update the image along with the concept of expanding and renovating the library,” Flanders said. In November, voters approved an $18 million plan for library expansion. Flanders said planning for the logo started in late 2010, and a marketing committee worked on the idea. The final logo, he said, represents boldness with the red, and the classic shapes represent the enduring values of the library.

COACH BILL SELF, FAR LEFT, AND PLAYERS ON THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY BENCH get up in anticipation as the Jayhawks try to break 100 points against UMKC. The Jayhawks just missed, settling for a 99-52 victory Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Taylor comfortable with Selby now By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It took Tyshawn Taylor 2 1⁄ 2 weeks — four games — to adjust fully to freshman sensation Josh Selby’s presence in Kansas University’s basketball lineup. “I think it was (adjustment) for all of us, throwing a new player in after nine games. Even though he’d been practicing with us, he’d been on the second team a lot. I’d not been playing with him too much,” junior combo guard Taylor said after collecting 15 points and seven assists against no

turnovers in the Jayhawks’ 99-52 rout of UMKC on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. In four games since Selby’s season debut against USC, Taylor had scored just 21 points off 8-of-22 shooting and committed 15 turnovers against 13 assists. “I love playing with Josh. I think he’s perfect for our offense. He makes plays for himself and others. I think he’s perfect,” Taylor added.

Break makes KU better, but … The list of things to love about Kansas University’s undefeated, third-ranked basketball team runs deep. For one thing, the Jayhawks have accomplished what good teams usually do during the semester break. They have turned the extra practice time into more even performances, such as Wednesday night’s 9952 smack-down of UMKC. For another, even with senior Mario Little serving an indefinite suspension, Kansas has become a deeper basketball team with a greater number of players giving their coach reason to trust them in tough spots, of which there will be many during the Big 12 schedule.

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . — Guard Brian Waters and receiver Dwayne Bowe, two of Kansas City’s three Pro Bowlers, missed Wednesday’s practice and it was unclear whether they will be available for this weekend’s playoff game against Baltimore. “Waters and Bowe will be listed as illness. They were sick today,” coach Todd Haley said. How sick was anyone’s guess. But the Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Kevin Curtis, who has played in 81 games with Miami, Philadelphia and St. Louis. Sticking to the team’s policy of not commenting on player avail-

ability, Haley declined to speculate on whether Waters or Bowe would be ready for Sunday’s home game against the Ravens. “I just go by today. Today they were not able to go,” he said. Last month, Haley used the word illness to explain quarterback Matt Cassel’s absence from practice. The Chiefs then disclosed that Cassel had undergone an emergency appendectomy that wound up sidelining him for a game. The Chiefs are coming off a home loss to Oakland in which their offense struggled and will now face the rugged Baltimore defense. Waters was named to his fifth Please see PRO BOWLERS, page 3B

Alomar, Blyleven elected to Hall NEW YORK (AP) — After a narrow miss last year, Bert Blyleven told voters they finally got it right by sending him into the Hall of Fame along with Roberto Alomar. And he took the opportunity to talk about baseball’s dark past — the Steroids Era. All-Star sluggers Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell, Mark McGwire and Juan Gonzalez didn’t

come close in Wednesday’s election. No telling if they ever will, either, after Hall voters sent a clear message: The drug cloud isn’t going to cover Cooperstown. “The writers are saying that this was the Steroids Era, like they have done Mark McGwire,” Blyleven said after finally making it to the Hall on his 14th try. “They’ve kind of made their point.”

Blyleven was chosen on 79.7 percent — it takes 75 percent approval by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America to reach the shrine. The great curveballer won 287 games, threw 60 shutouts and ranks fifth with 3,701 strikeouts. He was down to his next-to-last try on the ballot. “It’s been 14 years of praying

and waiting,” Blyleven said in a conference call. “And thank the baseball writers of America for, I’m going to say, finally getting it right.” Alomar was picked on 90 percent of the ballots. The 12-time AllStar won a record 10 Gold Gloves at second base, hit .300 and helped the Toronto Blue Jays win titles in 1992-93.

Ravens offense not explosive

Michigan fires Rodriguez after three seasons

By Mike Preston The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — They say what happens on the practice field transfers to the stadium on game day. If that’s the case, then what is happening to the Ravens? According to coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens are close to becoming an explosive offensive team because he has seen it on rare occasions during the season, and in practice as recently as last week. Time for an eye exam, right? Well, the NFL playoffs start this weekend, so it’s the ideal time for the Ravens to have a productive offense and show some explosiveness. But if you look closely at this team, this is a sensitive time. The lackluster offense is close to causing some division because a poor offense keeps gassing a good defense. Fullback Le’Ron McClain voiced his displeasure earlier this week, and a defensive tackle complained about the offensive coordinator at halftime loud enough to be heard by other team officials. Maybe veteran receiver Derrick Mason put it in perspective Sunday after the Ravens’ 13-7 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. “For us, we’ve just got to go out there and make it work,” he said. “I guess that has to be the theme of the playoffs — whatever is being called, we have to make it work. We can no longer point the finger. “We’ve got to make it work as an offensive unit. There are no more excuses, because excuses are going to get you beat. The teams that make excuses are going to have to sit at home next week, so we can’t make any more excuses. Whatever play is called, we’ve got to make it work, so you can’t blame Cam (Cameron, offensive coordinator). Whatever it is, we have to make it work.” Translation: There is no use complaining because the play-calling will remain the same and the Ravens are at the point in the season where few plays will be added to the playbook. I like reading all these reports now that give praise to receivers Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh for making a sacrifice because they are not getting the ball. That’s funny. I like hearing about how the Ravens have now turned into a running team heading into the first game of the postseason as if all those three-and-outs in the second half Sunday had been planned. But the sad truth is that the Ravens still haven’t learned how to operate this offense at full throttle, and it’s starting to wear on this team. After running back Ray Rice scored a 7yard touchdown in the third quarter Sunday, safety Ed Reed was up in his face about getting the offense going. Middle linebacker Ray Lewis’ body language on the sideline Sundays often tells the story. He puts his head in his hands, showing disgust and disappointment. After 15 years of hurling his body around in this league for the Ravens, they still can’t find an offense that works. You’re darn right, this has to be frustrating. Harbaugh knows that’s it’s starting to be a strain, which is why he constantly reminds his team that it is 12-4. The players often repeat the words, but like us, they know better. In the past six weeks, the Ravens’ offense has dropped from No.12 to No.22. As I mentioned several weeks ago, the Ravens win despite themselves. They have enough quality veterans like Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Reed, Mason, Boldin and Houshmandzadeh who can make enough plays to win most games. That might be enough to get the Ravens to the Super Bowl, but it might not. Just in case, the Ravens want this offense to step up and match the effort of the defense and special teams. It’s about time, because the disappointment and frustration are beginning to show. The Ravens are walking a fine line right now, and if they cross it, the season might end as well.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Texas hires Miss. State’s Diaz AUSTIN, TEXAS — Filling a critical need on a coaching staff that went through a major shakeup after a 5-7 season, Texas hired Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz to do the same job with the Longhorns.

Martinez committed to Huskers LINCOLN, NEB. — Quarterback Taylor Martinez is returning to Nebraska for his sophomore season, and he wants to quash speculation that he’s thinking of transferring. Casey Martinez, Taylor’s father, e-mailed a statement to the Associated Press on Wednesday in which Taylor said he’s looking forward to “using these past year’s experiences and challenges to help me become a better all-around person, football player and leader.”

NFL Source: Harbaugh, 49ers to meet SAN FRANCISCO — Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was meeting Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers about their head-coach vacancy, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press because the interview wasn’t made public. Harbaugh returned Tuesday night to the Bay Area from a 40-12 Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech in Miami that gave the Cardinal a program-best 12-1 record. He now must weigh his options, which appear to be many. ESPN also reported Wednesday night that Dolphins owner Steve Ross has traveled to the Bay Area to “make an urgent pitch” to Harbaugh.

Elway rejoins Broncos ENGLEWOOD, COLO. — Hall of Famer John Elway has been summoned by the Denver Broncos for one more comeback, this time as the team’s chief football executive. The beloved quarterback who led the Broncos to five Super Bowls and back-to-back championships before retiring in 1999 returned to the team’s Dove Valley headquarters Wednesday to begin restoring the franchise’s tarnished image and bring back its winning ways.

Saints top running backs out METAIRIE, LA. — The defending champion Saints will have to try to repeat without their top two power running backs. Pierre Thomas, one of the stars of last season’s Super Bowl run, was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of his injured ankle. The Saints made that move only one day after placing leading rusher Chris Ivory on injured reserve because of a left foot injury that occurred during Sunday’s regular-season finale.

Texans hire Phillips HOUSTON — The Houston Texans hired Wade Phillips as their new defensive coordinator Wednesday, hoping the fired head coach of the Cowboys can turn around a unit that sank toward the bottom of the league last season.

Lions’ Suh having surgery ALLEN PARK, MICH. — Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is having shoulder surgery and will not play in the Pro Bowl. Lions general manager Martin Mayhew announced Suh’s operation late Wednesday afternoon. He would not say which shoulder would be operated on.

Jets appealing fine for tripping FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets aren’t writing the NFL a $100,000 check just yet. The team is appealing the hefty fine issued by the league last week for violating rules when assistant coach Sal Alosi ordered players to form a sideline wall, then tripped Miami’s Nolan Carroll during a punt return last month.

NBA Gambling banned on Grizzlies’ flights MEMPHIS, TENN. — Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins has banned gambling on flights for Memphis after a fight between Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo on board an airplane during a return trip from Los Angeles. Team spokesman Dustin Krugel said Wednesday the Grizzlies will allow “no more gambling” on flights. Their next road trip begins Friday night after hosting the Utah Jazz.

Cavs offer homeless man job CLEVELAND — With a deep, refined voice, Ted Williams simply asked for help to get off the streets. He’s been heard. Left homeless after his life and career were ruined by drugs and alcohol, Williams has been offered a job by the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and is being pursued by NFL Films for possible work. He and his compelling tale became an online sensation after The Columbus Dispatch posted a clip of Williams demonstrating his voiceover skills by the side of the road.

ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Michigan hired Rich Rodriguez to take college football’s winningest program to another level. He did just that, and it cost him his job. Rodriguez was fired Wednesday after going 15-22 in three disappointing seasons, including an 0-6 record combined against rivals Ohio State and Michigan State, and staining the proud program with a handful of NCAA violations. “Michigan is not used to this,” said athletic director Dave Brandon, who met with Rodriguez on Tuesday and again Wednesday before announcing the firing. “I believe this is the best decision for the future of Michigan football,” Brandon said. “We have not achieved at the level that I expect.”

FSHS wins, Lions third at LHS By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

At about three feet deep, the south end of Lawrence High’s pool is rather shallow. It usually would be a quirk other teams would have to cope with for just one meet, but not this year. Lawrence High will host the Sunflower League meet on Feb. 4 and 5, so for Free State High, Wednesday’s meet was both about improving times and building a comfort level in the pool, especially in making turns at the shallow end. Free State won the fourteam meet with 473 points, followed by Shawnee Mission North (370), Lawrence High (356) and Leavenworth (89). “It’s important to know the pool you’re going to swim at for a championship meet,” Free State senior Logan Sloan said. “I think this was a really good practice meet to get the feel for it.” Lawrence High coach Kent McDonald knows it’s an advantage to have the league meet at LHS.

Niedow didn’t just win the diving event; he also established a high enough degree of difficulty to set him up for a chance to qualify for state. If he is able to add 5.45 points to the 184.55 he scored Wednesday and maintain his degree of difficulty, he’ll qualify. “We’re just feeling stronger and better, faster,” Annette McDonald said. “And we’re working hard.” The Firebirds and Lions will compete at the SM Northwest Invitational on Saturday.

QB Cassel looks to rebound in playoffs By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . — Matt Cassel is in bounceback mode. At least he’s still on his feet. The Kansas City quarterback is heading into Sunday’s noon playoff game against Baltimore one week after getting whacked around and abused worse than any other time all year, not counting emergency surgery. In a 31-10 loss to Oakland that ruined the Chiefs’ perfect home record, Cassel was sacked five times, intercepted twice and hurried all day long.

He went into the game with 27 touchdown passes and only f ive interceptions and came out with 27 touchdown passes and Cassel seven interceptions. His quarterback rating of 19.1 was less than half of his previous season low and more than 100 points worse than what he’d done the week before against Tennessee. “I feel great,” Cassel said

Wednesday. “Just smiling a lot more.” One of the Chiefs’ ugliest games all season happened on the same field where Cassel and the Chiefs will be facing Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and the rest of a Ravens defense that gave up the third-fewest points in the league while going 12-4. So just how damaged is the confidence of a young team that’s not been in the playoffs since 2006? “I think we all turn the page pretty quickly here,” Cassel said. “We made some corrections from the game, but in terms of dwelling on it, it

league-best 15 touchdowns. Between Oct. 17 and Nov. 28, he also set a team record with at least one touchdown catch in seven straight games. If Curtis is pressed into service against Baltimore, Haley said he was confident he can do the job. “We’ve done a lot of research on this guy through-

out the year. But it’s our effort to always make progress and create competition,” Haley said. “He knows this system. What they’re running in Miami is very similar terminology. That’s an edge.” Cassel said Bowe’s missing a day or two of practice should not disrupt their timing. “We’ve been together for 17

weeks now, or whatever it’s been, and hopefully he’s back sooner than later and he rests up and he’s back on the field and we’re able to continue to work together,” Cassel said. “From a timing standpoint, I think I understand Dwayne’s body language, his ability to run certain routes. I think we’ll be fine.”

Dunk draws kudos By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Travis Releford’s windmill dunk Wednesday was so impressive, even the opposition complimented him. Immediately following the Kansas University sophomore’s highlight-reel slam in the second half of KU’s 99-52 victory over UMKC, Releford’s longtime friend — and UMKC guard Michael Gholston — found him on the court. “He was like, ‘You really got up on that one,’” Releford said with a grin. “We laughed about it.” It was the second time this season that he’d heard about one of his dunks from an opponent. Releford said one of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi players also approached him after his rocking, reverse jam on Nov.

23, asking him, “Why’d you have to do that to us?” “It’s just whatever comes to mind at the moment,” Releford said of his slams. “I don’t go into a game planning what fast-break dunk I’m going to do, because I never know if I’m going to have one or not.” Releford explained that he always looks to see where the closest defender is before attempting anything flashy. Asked what percentage of the time he normally executed that exact windmill dunk, Releford said 100 percent of the time in games. That’s because he’s only done it twice. “I’ve been doing that since middle school I think,” Releford said, “so it was kind of easy.” Releford said that as long as his dunks resulted in two points, he was in the clear with KU coach Bill Self.

“If I miss, then I’m going to hear it. I’m going to have to pay the price for it,” Releford said. “But if I make it, it’s a great play, because it gets the crowd into it. Coach, he enjoyed the crowd getting into it.” The 6-foot-5 Releford contributed in other ways as well against UMKC, tying a careerhigh with 13 points on 4-for-7 shooting in 18 minutes. He also went 2-for-3 from threepoint range and served as a much-needed defender in the post with Thomas Robinson not available because of his grandmother’s death. “Travis does try hard,” Self said. “He’s kind of a bad matchup down there for them, too, because he can drive (against) a big. He obviously made a couple shots tonight from range. “He’s a good player. Travis is a good player — a good allaround player.”

Roo relishes reunion By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

UMKC junior Michael Gholston Jr. didn’t log much time on the court during Wednesday’s 99-52 men’s basketball loss at No. 3 Kansas University. But the 13 minutes he did get were minutes he won’t soon forget. “It was great. It was like old times, just like back in high school, playing AAU ball,” said Gholston, who faced former teammate and best friend Travis Releford, a KU forward. “I love Travis like my brother, and I definitely had a little extra oomph about me.” Moments after checking into the game for the first time, Gholston, who stands

just 6-foot tall — compared with Releford’s 6-6 — found himself matched up on his buddy. As Releford danced around and tried to shake loose, Gholston hounded him relentlessly. Even when he was on the bench, Gholston found his eyes fixed on his childhood friend. Good thing. Releford played one of his most electric games of the season, finishing with 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, 2-of3 from three-point land. That line included an eye-popping, windmill jam with just under five minutes remaining that brought back plenty of memories for Gholston. “It was a great dunk,” Gholston said. “ I’ve seen it a million times before, but it was nice.”

Though the theme of their first college match-up was competitive — as evidenced by Releford saying, “I gave him a hug and then we both kind of said, ‘We’re about to get after it.’” — the two Kansas City natives couldn’t help but set aside some of their killer instincts to smile at the fortunes of a former teammate. “Honestly, you do a little bit of both,” Gholston said. “You cheer for your team, you cheer for him. It’s kind of hard.” Releford agreed, saying: “I’m not gonna lie, it was the same for me. When I was on the bench, I was kind of cheerNick Krug/Journal-World Photos ing for him. We grew up together. He’s my best friend. KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD FINISHES OFF A WINDMILL DUNK in front of UMKC defendOf course I’m gonna wish the ers Trinity Hall (23) and Bakari Lewis.

played his best game since Selby’s activation, joined Selby and Johnson for a stretch that called to mind the days of Mario Chalmers, Sherron Collins and Russell Robinson playing together. So everything’s great, right? Well, not quite. Still, the nagging fear that hotheaded immaturity could

surface down the road at the worst possible time lingers. One game after the twins, Marcus and Markieff Morris, drew deserved praise for taking their benchings to heart and hustled their way to big games played with cool heads in a rout of Miami of Ohio, Markieff spent all but four minutes on the bench in

three turnovers on a night KU had six players score in double figures. The Jayhawks also forced 26 turnovers, thanks in large part to an effective 1-2-2 fullcourt press. “The defenses have been playing us kind of weird. They’ve been sagging in a lot to help on the twins. The shots have been there, but I haven’t been taking them. I feel I have to start taking them and being more aggressive. I think I did that today,” Taylor said. Taylor hit four of nine shots (one of three threes) and six of seven free throws. He said he had a blast running the press. “I like it. I think all of us like it. We can cheat and do things like that,” Taylor said, adding, “it helps slow the other team down. They’ve got to throw the ball back and forth. It’s been good for us.” KU coach Bill Self liked Taylor’s play — “He was good, shot the ball well, was active defensively” — as well as the press. “I think against certain teams it shortens the clock so they can’t run their stuff the entire 35 (seconds),” Self said. “We got quite a few steals off our press and turnovers today.” Tyrel Reed (11 points, 3-for4 from three) and Selby had five and four steals respectively on a night KU totaled 18 thefts to UMKC’s two. The Kangaroos had just

four assists to the Jayhawks’ 26. Quick guards Taylor, Selby and Elijah Johnson (13 points) played several minutes together. “I don’t know if that’s our best or most athletic team,” Self said. “We could make a strong case it is. Our best teams, I’ve played three little guards. It doesn’t matter to me, if one (of them) is tough enough to defend a three (small forward).” The Jayhawks had several highlight-reel dunks. KU led, 52-24, at the break and outscored UMKC, 47-28, the second half. Johnson missed a couple of late dunks preventing KU from winning the second half by 20 points, which was the goal during a season the Jayhawks have had trouble putting some teams away. “Elijah will hear about it when we’re running tomorrow. He’s heard about it from us already,” Taylor said, laughing. Johnson had a quick quip: “It’s kind of hard to do math when you are on the floor,” he said. “It’s hard to do math when we are running the floor and playing in a college basketball game.” The laughs are over for a while. KU travels to Big Ten school Michigan for a 3:30 p.m. tipoff Sunday, then opens Big 12 play at surprising Iowa State at 8 p.m. Wednesday. — Assistant sports editor Gary Bedore can be reached at 832-7186.

the second half because he trash-talked his way into a technical foul. “With any team, if guys are so selfish that they think about their actions as opposed to what’s good for the masses, that’s a bad play, and, obviously, we’ve had that happen by having to get the last word in or whatever it is,” Self said.

“It’s childish. It is going to hurt us. It will cost us.” Only if it continues. Self again will take measures to try to prevent hot heads from exceeding the boiling point. If whatever it is he does to try to drive his point home gets the intended result, this team could mature into a most memorable one.

NOTEBOOK Technically speaking Kansas junior Markieff Morris, who picked up a technical foul for jawing with a UMKC player with 16:02 left, did not play the rest of the game. “You play each possession. You don’t play the score when you have a big lead. The message isn’t being heard because why would Markieff get a technical for running his mouth when/if he has heard the message and knew his value to the team,” coach Bill Self said. “He doesn’t get it. We have to keep stressing the message. Whatever we have to do physically or mentally, I’m prepared to do it. Unless those guys pull their heads out of their rear end, we’re going to have some problems.” KU has had three players called for technical fouls, with one player ejection this season. “It’s childish, immaturity,” Self said. “There will obviously be a pretty strong message moving forward in this particular situation. It needs to be strong. I love our guys, but I’m not happy with the immaturity level of a few of them. I think it reflects negatively on everyone else out there trying hard.” Cryptic ‘good news’ Elijah Johnson said Self gave the team “some good news before the game and it just riled us up right before it was time to play.” When pressed, Johnson wouldn’t reveal the good news, saying it was meant for the locker room only.

Dear Annie: My wife recently found out through a friend that her ex-husband remarried and didn’t tell her. I commented that I didn’t see anything wrong with that, and she was shocked at my response. She told me that if we divorced after 25 years, she would expect me to tell her if I got married again and she would do the same. She also said if we divorced and one of us were dying of some incurable disease, she would expect me to drop everything Dear Marguerite Kon- and take care of her, because dracke: Thank you for giving she would do the same for me.

CNBC shares its ’Facebook Obsession’

“The Facebook Obsession” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., CNBC) continues the media’s love/hate affair with Mark Zuckerberg, the 26-year-old face of Facebook. Over the past year, Zuckerberg has been the subject of the acclaimed drama “The Social Network” and named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. “Obsession” does a nice job of showing Facebook’s user population and its rising perceived value. Just this week, it has been evaluated at $50 billion. We also hear from some disgruntled early partners who claimed to have been shoved aside and lost out on their portion of the eventual payoff. “Obsession” opens the door for about five seconds on the notion that Zuckerberg may not be mature or emotionally stable enough to manage the wellbeing of a halfbillion “friends.” We visit with happy users, like the young woman who found her birth-mother via the site and the police officers who track criminals and parole violators through Facebook. But there’s also the educator who was fired for statements she made about her boss, criticisms she believed were entirely confidential only to learn that Facebook had changed its privacy settings without informing her. Zuckerberg makes no secret that a place where so many people willingly provide so much information about their friends, their ages, their likes and dislikes is a gold mine for marketers. Some folks say Facebook has no right to sell that information. Others believe that users no longer “own” what they so willingly volunteered. ● “Selling New York” (8 p.m., HGTV) returns for a second season, chronicling the high-end brokers as they throw parties, fashion shows and elaborate lunches to find buyers for “homes” priced in the millions. “Selling” offers viewers a nice glimpse at what posh Manhattan real estate can look like, but I can’t help but find it a deviation from the network’s original mission to celebrate homes and gardens. For starters, there isn’t a garden in sight and these “homes” are hardly lived in. One broker examines a flat that had been rented for 12 months and discovers that the oven had never been turned on. “It’s like my wife’s kitchen,” he brags, much to the horror of anyone who used to watch HGTV for the vicarious pleasure of looking at real people fixing up real homes. “Selling” is a joyless, slightly desperate variation on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” celebrating places where people are too busy acquiring money to actually “live.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● “Wipeout” (7 p.m., ABC) returns for winter-themed distractions. ● A faked photo offers clues to a real murder on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Mixed martial arts can be murder on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● “Jersey Shore” (9 p.m., MTV) returns with new installments. ● Sofas and the single man loom large on “Esquire’s Ultimate Bachelor Pad” (9 p.m., DIY). Cult choice ● A priest (Peter Sellers) who cannot lie shocks his flock in the 1963 comedy “Heavens Above” (9 p.m., TCM), the first of four scheduled all-night salutes to Sellers airing every Thursday in January.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Jan. 6: This year, you put 100 percent into your work. You might not achieve at the level you want and expect.

Answer:

NEW BIBLE Jumble Books Go To: http://www.tyndale.com/jumble/

Dear Annie: It is a tragic fact that one in four young people in America does not graduate from high school. We are at risk of losing our leadership position in the global economy. But I am convinced that by working together we can change this situation. Already, in some of the poorest performing schools in the nation, we are seeing signs of improvement. In some communities, graduation rates have increased 10 or more percent in just six years. These glimmers of hope inspire me, but the pace of progress is far too slow. We must act now. We have launched Grad Nation, a 10-year campaign to see that 90 percent of students will graduate and obtain at least one year of education or training beyond high school. I know we all want to do our part to keep America great. Success requires all of us — educators, business and civic leaders, policymakers, parents and students — to work together. Your readers can learn how to get involved at americaspromise.org. Our nation — and our children — are counting on it. Sincerely — Marguerite W.

NBA Roundup The Associated Press

Celtics 105, Spurs 103 BOSTON — Rajon Rondo had 22 assists, 12 points and 10 rebounds for his 11th career triple-double, adding six steals to help Boston beat San Antonio on Wednesday night in a matchup of the NBA’s top two teams. It’s the first time this season that the Spurs (29-6), who still have the best record in the NBA, have lost back-toback games. Ray Allen scored 31 for Eastern Conference-leading Boston (27-7), but missed a pair of free throws with 8.1 seconds left and the Celtics up by two. After a timeout, Manu Ginobili worked down the clock and put up a shot that was blocked by Paul Pierce and pulled down by Rondo for his 10th rebound. Glen “Big Baby” Davis had 23 points — one short of a career high — playing in place of an injured Kevin Garnett. Rondo’s 22 assists were the second-most in his career.
