T O P E K A — Gov. Sam Brownback was sworn into office Monday, saying he wanted to focus on improving the economy and education, but his fellow conservative Republicans indicated they wanted to deal with additional issues, such as abortion and immigration.

Brownback, 54, became the 46th governor of the state in an inaugural ceremony that was chased inside the Capitol by a snowstorm.

Just hours after taking the oath of office, Brownback convened his Cabinet and urged his appointees to focus on five goals.

The goals are to increase Kansans’ net personal income, private sector employment, the percentage of fourth-graders reading at grade level, the percentage of high school graduates who are collegeready, and decrease the percentage of Kansas children living in poverty.

These were the same goals he announced during his campaign.

Brownback had the goals printed on laminated cards and handed them to

REPUBLICAN SAM BROWNBACK is sworn in as the state’s 46th governor by Chief Justice Lawton Nuss as Brownback’s wife, Mary, holds the Bible Monday at the Capitol in Topeka. his Cabinet secretaries.

“I’m not asking you to tie it around your neck,” Brownback told Cabinet members, but, he added, “All of our jobs are dependent on these five measurables moving in the right direction.”

But Brownback’s fellow conservatives quickly showed they had additional goals as the 2011 Legislature started.

They filed bills to repeal in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants and further restrict late-term abortions. The proposals have for the past several

years been turned back by a coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats. That coalition, however, was destroyed in the last election.

But most of the day was devoted to tradition and ceremony.

After being sworn into office, Brownback gave a short speech in the House chamber, saying Kansas will rise above current economic and societal problems.

But Brownback provided no details on his plan to balance the budget in the face of a growing $550 million revenue shortfall.

“Our administration will focus on the basics,” he said. Brownback will give his State of the State address on Wednesday and is expected to unveil his proposed budget on Thursday.

His speech focused on Kansas’ place in history, saying it was the land of hope, freedom and opportunity.

A two-term U.S. senator, and former presidential candidate, Brownback has long touted anti-tax, small government and anti-abortion positions.

Republicans swept all

statewide and congressional races in November’s election, the first time since 1964.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach is known nationally for pushing laws aimed at illegal immigration. And new Attorney General Derek Schmidt has said he will file a legal challenge to the federal health care reform act.

In addition, Republicans hold a 92-33 advantage over Democrats in the House and a 32-8 advantage in the Senate.

Monday’s winter storm dropped several inches of snow on Lawrence.

Now weather forecasters are warning Lawrence residents to brace for a cold week as a northwesterly wind is expected to bring brutal wind chill temperatures through Thursday.

“It’s winter in Kansas. It’s the middle of January. It’s going to be cold,” said Matt Wolters, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka. “We just need to be cautious and take extra precautions.”

The snow caused some issues for commuters, but as of Monday night no major injury accidents were reported.

City expected to update OT policy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Under the current system, for example, an employee who worked 34 hours and then took 8 hours of vacation time would be eligible for two hours of overtime pay. Under the new system, the employee will still get paid for 42 hours, but none of it will be overtime.

City commissioners in November made it clear that the changes needed to be made. Not only was the city being more generous than federal law required, a survey found the city was more generous than most other major cities in the area.

“I think we’ve had a lot of practices that have been put in place over the years related to overtime,” City Commissioner Rob Chestnut said. “As we started CITY asking ques- COMMISSION tions, it wasn’t always clear why we’re doing things the way we’re doing them.”

Corliss said he’s optimistic the changes won’t significantly hurt the city’s ability to recruit and retain employees.

He said that’s because the city is still in line with many area communities such as Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Kansas City and Topeka.

Corliss also said he’s reminded city employees that — even during these tough economic times — the city has approved about $3 million in compensation increases from 2009 to 2011.

“But we are going to need to watch employee morale,” Corliss said.

The change in policy won’t affect the city’s police officers and firefighters. They both belong to union-like organizations and have employee contracts that run through 2011.

The issue of overtime could become a significant issue in future negotiations with the groups. Police and f ire accounted for about $900,000 of the $1.6 million in overtime the city paid in 2009.

Cold-weather safety a hot topic Bitter cold follows snow

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital employees urge residents to use caution when spending time outdoors in the snowy and bitterly cold conditions.

They’ve seen back and shoulder pains from shoveling, sprains and broken bones from falls and frost bite and hypothermia.

Here’s how to avoid shoveling injuries, according to Kim King, physical therapist with LMH Kreider Rehabilitation Services: ● Before shoveling, warm up muscles with stretching and light walking around the house. ● Wear light, layered, water-repellent clothing because it provides ventilation and insulation. Avoid falls by wearing shoes that have slip-resistant soles. ● Take frequent breaks and prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids.

● Try to push the snow instead of lifting it. Do not throw the snow over your shoulder or to the side. This requires a twisting motion that stresses your back. If you must lift, do it properly. Squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight. Lift with your legs. Do not bend at the waist. Scoop small amounts of snow into the shovel and walk to where you want to dump it. Holding a shovelful of snow with your arms outstretched puts too much weight on your spine. ● Call a doctor if you injure yourself and the pain lasts for more than a week or it’s getting worse, not better.

Toni Reynolds, LMH emergency room physician, said anyone can get hypothermia, which is when the core body temperature is too low. It is an emergency condition and can quickly lead to unconsciousness and death.

Her advice is to bundle up when outdoors, cover extremities and don’t stay

outside for a prolonged period of time. To avoid frostbite, keep your hands and feet dry.

Early signs of hypothermia include: shivering; cold, pale or blue-gray skin; apathy; poor judgment; mild unsteadiness in balance or walking; slurred speech; and numb hands and fingers.

“If you are feeling abnormal in any way, it is an indication that you need to get your body inside and warmed up,” she said. Treatment includes changing out of wet clothes, using blankets and heaters, and drinking warm fluids.

Call 911 if someone has these late-stage symptoms of hypothermia: trunk of body is cold to touch; muscles are stiff; slow pulse; shallow and slower breathing; weakness; sleepiness; confusion; loss of consciousness; and shivering.

Minor accidents were also reported in Lawrence, and one person was taken to the hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries Monday afternoon after an accident in a parking lot at 1605 W.

Wolters said he expected state and other crews to work into this morning clearing highways and roads as high winds likely could cause problems once the snowfall stops. The National Weather Service extended its winter weather advisory until 3 p.m. today.

“The road conditions still could be pretty bad with blowing snow coming back onto the roads,” Wolters said.

“Anybody who has to get up in the morning should probably plan on leaving early.”

The wind will also make it feel brutally cold today. The high temperature is forecast to be 18 degrees with wind chill between -1 and -6. The weather service does not predict that temperatures will get above freezing until Friday.

Tough cookies weather the winter storm

1 | PHOENIX

Shooting suspect held without bail Jared Loughner, his head shaved and a cut on his right temple, stared vacantly at a packed courtroom Monday. About 100 miles away, the congresswoman he is accused of trying to assassinate lay gravely wounded, but able to give a thumbs-up sign that doctors took as hope.

At one point during his initial court hearing, Loughner stood at a lectern in his beige prison jumpsuit. A U.S. marshal stood guard nearby.

The judge asked if he understood that he could get life in prison — or the death penalty — for killing federal Judge John Roll.

“Yes,” he said. His newly appointed lawyer, Judy Clarke, stood beside him. She had defended “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski.

The judge ordered Loughner held without bail.

Throngs of reporters and television news crews lined up outside the federal courthouse, where the hearing was moved from Tucson. The entire federal bench there recused itself because Roll was the chief judge.

President Barack Obama will travel to Arizona on Wednesday to attend a memorial service for the victims, a senior administration official told The Associated Press. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the president’s trip had not been publicly announced.

2 | TEXAS

Tom DeLay gets 3 years in prison Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, once considered among the nation’s most powerful and feared lawmakers, was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for a scheme to influence elections that already cost him his job, leadership post and millions of dollars in legal fees.

The sentence comes after a jury in November convicted DeLay, a Houston-area Republican, on charges of money laundering and DeLay conspiracy to commit money laundering for using a political action committee to illegally send corporate donations to Texas House candidates in 2002.

Prosecutors said DeLay will likely be free for months or even years as his appeal makes it through the Texas court system.

3 | AUSTRALIA

At least 8 dead from new flooding Rescuers raced to reach people trapped on roofs after a flash flood sent a massive wall of water through a valley in Australia’s waterlogged east, tossing cars like toys, killing at least eight people and leaving 72 missing, officials said.

The sudden surge near the town of Toowoomba after a storm Monday lifted Australia’s 2-week-old flood crisis in Queensland state to a new level and brought the overall death toll to 18. Until then, the flooding had unfolded slowly as swollen rivers burst their banks and inundated towns while moving downstream toward the ocean.

Emergency services officers plucked more than 40 people from houses isolated overnight by the torrent that hit the Lockyer Valley on Monday. Thunderstorms and more driving rain hampered efforts to send helicopters to help an unknown number of other people still in danger.

Temperatures plummeted late Monday, turning slushy streets into sheets of ice across Southern states that are more accustomed to sunshine than snow. The wintry blast has grounded flights, cut power to thousands of homes and even forced Auburn University to cancel viewing parties for the national championship bowl game.

Snow ranging from several inches to more than a foot blanketed states from Louisiana to the Carolinas — a region where many cities have only a handful of snow plows, if any. In many areas, the snow began turning to freezing rain.

The storm shut down most cities and towns, closed many businesses, and canceled most flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world’s busiest. At least nine people were killed in weather-related traffic accidents.

5 | HAITI

Experts: Expel government candidate An international team of election experts will recommend that Haiti’s government-backed candidate be eliminated from a presidential runoff ballot due to strong evidence of fraud in voting that led to riots, according to a draft of the report obtained Monday

by The Associated Press.

The report by the Organization of American States team had not been released publicly but officials confirmed its conclusions. It was to be presented to President Rene Preval later Monday, foreign and Haitian sources said, but Preval told reporters during a broadcast news conference Monday night that he had not received it.

The report’s most important conclusions are that the disputed Nov. 28 vote should neither be thrown out entirely nor recounted, and that enough fraudulent or improper ballots should be invalidated to drop governing-party candidate Jude Celestin into third place and out of the second-round runoff.

THE TASK AT HAND FOR TRACY HOUSE ON MONDAY was to get 49 cases of Girl Scout cookies into her car for six girls in Troop No. 7722 of Lawrence. House’s was just one of many delivery stories from volunteers picking up cookie orders at the Douglas County Fairgrounds despite the snow. According to product sale manager Lisa Vanderbilt, three semitrailers and 40 volunteers unloaded 6,699 cases for 77 troops in Douglas County. Each case has 12 boxes of cookies, to make a grand total of 80,388 boxes of cookies. That’s going to require a lot of milk.

Steve Six discusses funeral protest case after A.G. stint

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

As he left office as Kansas attorney general Monday, Lawrence attorney Steve Six said he hoped the U.S. Supreme Court would provide protection for private citizens at funerals from protesters like ones with the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church led by Fred Phelps.

As he addressed the Lawrence Rotary Club at the Holiday Inn Lawrence, Six spoke about the Snyder v.

Phelps case the justices are considering right now.

“The ideal outcome in my view would be an umbrella of protection around a funeral, whether it’s a (military) service member or any private citizens so that you’re not dealing with the loss of a loved one and a hateful group like the Phelps group coming in and ruining and hijacking the funeral event,” said Six, who lost the November election to Derek

Schmidt, a former Kansas Senate Majority Leader.

Phelps’ church is known for picketing funerals of dead soldiers Six across the country to gain attention for members’ anti-gay message.

The Supreme Court in October heard arguments in the Snyder case. A jury in Maryland had awarded the father of Matthew A. Snyder, a Marine lance corporal killed in Iraq, millions of dollars, but the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals overturned that ruling and held that messages on signs outside a funeral and postings on a website are protected speech.

As attorney general, Six’s office filed an amicus brief on behalf of Kansas, which joined 47 other states and the District of Columbia.

Six said he expected the justices to rule in the next three to four months.

Six was appointed after a turbulent time for the attorney general’s office. Paul Morrison resigned in 2008 amid a sex scandal.

Morrison’s predecessor Phill Kline, who says he committed no misconduct, faces a state ethics complaint that he made false statements and allowed subordinates to mislead other state officials while investigating abortion clinics.

But Six, who will join the Lawrence f irm Stevens and Brand, voiced confidence in Schmidt as he took office Monday.

“I think (Schmidt) is going to do a fantastic job. He’s a smart lawyer. He’s a nice person,” Six said. “I’m confident that now we’ve turned it around, he’s going to keep it going.”

MU system president resigning —————

Gary Forsee leaving to be with wife, who is recovering from cancer

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A former Sprint executive is stepping down from the presidency of the four-campus University of Missouri system to be with his wife, who is recovering from cancer surgery.

Gary Forsee had served as the campus system’s president for

the past three years.

Forsee told the University of Missouri’s Board of Curators on Friday that his wife, Sherry, is recovering well and will “soon begin a treatment regimen to ensure she remains cancer-free,” according to a release from the campus system.

The resignation was effective immediately.

Steve Owens, MU system general counsel, will serve as the interim president of the system. He had served as interim president since Dec. 2.

Curators will serve on a search committe e, a l o n g w i t h t h e board’s student representative, to find the system’s 23rd president.

Warren Erdman,

chairman of the Missouri Board of Curators, praised Forsee for being “part of the solution” to the state’s economic challenges.

“We’ve been fortunate to have a leader of the highest order,” he said in the release.

With a 200,000-square-foot wind tower manufacturing plant planned for Ottawa, Schuff Steel is the latest company to become part of Kansas’ growing wind industry.

At full capacity, the plant would employ 200 to 250 people and produce 300 wind towers a year.

Schuff Steel is the fourth company to bring wind manufacturing plans to the state since Siemens Energy announced in May 2009 that it would build a wind turbine production facility in Hutchinson.

“It has been a great year in terms of continuing to develop infrastructure for wind energy growth,” said Joe Monaco, a spokesman with the Kansas Department of Commerce. “This is just another example of wind energy-related companies recognizing Kansas as a great location.”

Schuff Steel had originally planned to build the plant in North Dakota but reconsidered that location after the company changed how the towers were going to be manufactured.

“Mostly it was the fact that we had an existing facility in the middle of the wind belt,” said Dennis Randall, who is the executive vice president of Schuff’s Midwest Division.

The Ottawa plant, which has been operating since the mid1970s, is working on a prototype for the wind tower.

That prototype is a new generation of wind towers that will stand 100 meters, or 328 feet, high.

Instead of tube towers that are difficult to transport because of their length, the company will make structural towers that can be broken down into smaller pieces and then assembled on site.

“It solves one of the major issues in the wind industry, over the road transportation,” Randall said.

The new 200,000-square-foot plant will be built at the company’s current location in Ottawa.

The majority of the new jobs created will be filled by regional workers, Randall said.

The company is asking that a $7 million tax credit received for its North Dakota plant be transferred to the one in Ottawa, Randall said.

As the largest steel fabrication and erection company in the United States, Schuff Steel has experience with other renewable energy projects, such as solar energy. However, the Ottawa plant will be its first venture into wind-related manufacturing.

“We are convinced it’s an emerging industry,” Randall said.

Wichita writer’s debut wins key literary acclaim

By Hillel Italie Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Clare Vanderpool’s “Moon Over Manifest,” a young girl’s magical and mysterious adventures in a small town in 1936, won the John Newbery Medal for the “most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.”

“A Sick Day for Amos McGee,” the gentle story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals who visit him at home when he’s too unwell to work, received the Randolph Caldecott Medal for best children’s picture book. “A Sick Day” was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband Philip C. Stead, also the author of “Creamed Tuna Fish & Peas On Toast.”

The awards, the highest honors in children’s literature, were announced Monday by the American Library Association. The books are the debuts of both Vanderpool and Erin Stead and had entered the top 100 on Amazon.com’s best-seller list by later Monday afternoon.

“I was aware of the Newbery enough that when I taught some creative writing classes at my children’s elementary school, I used to tell the kids, ‘Look for this gold medal on the front of the book,”’ said Vanderpool, 46, a native of Wichita, Kan. Vanderpool began the book in 2001, needed five to six years to finish and an additional three to four years to find a publisher, the Random House Inc. imprint Delacorte Press. A mother of four, she still lives in Wichita and had long been curious about the role of place in people’s lives. The story is set in Kansas and the narrator, Abilene Tucker, has been sent off by her father to Manifest, a fictionalized version of Frontenac, where Vanderpool’s maternal grandparents lived.

“I’ve spent much of my life in one neighborhood in Wichita and I wondered what it would be like for a girl during the Depression who had never been in one place very long,” she said.

Stead, 28, was a design assistant at HarperCollins and an employee at Books of Wonder, a popular children’s store in New York. Now living with her husband in Ann Arbor, Mich., she says Philip Stead had told her he wrote

“Amos McGee” with her in mind.

“I knew it was a story for me from the moment I read it and so I had a healthy amount of intimidation,” she said. “I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people.”

Tomie dePaolo, whose many books include such favorites as “Strega Nona” and “26 Fairmont Avenue,” received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his “substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.” Another lifetime achievement prize, the Margaret A. Edwards Award, was given to British fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett.

“The Dreamer,” by Pam Munoz Ryan, won the Pura Belpre Author Award for the writer “whose children’s books best portray, affirm and celebrate the Latino cultural experience.” The Belpre prize for illustration went to Eric Velasquez for “Grandma’s Gift,” which he also

wrote.

Paolo Bacigalup’s “Ship Breaker” won the Michael L. Printz Award for “excellence in literature written for young adults.” The Coretta Scott King award, given to an African American author of “outstanding books for children and young adults,” went to Rita Williams-Garcia’s “One Crazy Summer “Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave,” illustrated by Bryan Collier and written by Laban Carrick Hill, won the King prize for best illustrated work.

“Almost Perfect,” written

by Brian Katcher, received the Stonewall Children’s and Young Adult Literature Award for “exceptional merit relating to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experience.”

BRIEFLY County commissioner sworn into office Mike Gaughan was officially sworn in Monday as a Douglas County commissioner.

At a small ceremony at the Douglas County Courthouse, Gaughan took the oath of office administered by County Clerk Jamie Shew.

Gaughan originally took office in April 2009, replacing former Commissioner Charles Jones. Gaughan was picked by Democratic precinct committee members in the county’s 1st District after Jones resigned. Gaughan was then re-elected in November, defeating Republican candidate Arch Naramore.

After the swearing-in Monday, County Commissioner Nancy Thellman, a Democrat, nominated County Commissioner Jim Flory, a Republican, as the new commission chairman. Gaughan seconded the nomination. Historically, the chairman has been a member of the majority party, said County Administrator Craig Weinaug. That is not the case with Flory, who is the lone Republican on the board.

Gaughan was elected as commission vice chairman.

Because county commissioners met Monday, there will not be a meeting on Wednesday.

Copper theft from quarry reported Jefferson County Sheriff’s investigators are looking into a second major copper theft in recent weeks at the Hamm Quarry north of Lawrence.

Sheriff Jeff Herrig said officers believe the quarry was burglarized either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The incident is under investigation. Investigators suspect several hundred feet of copper wire was stolen from a conveyor belt at the landfill and quarry, which is just north of U.S. Highway 2459.

Officers arrested an

Oskaloosa man in December after a similar theft of 500 to 600 feet of wire from the conveyor belt.

Herrig said investigators believe more wire was taken during last weekend’s burglary than the one in December. He said an old pickup truck with Hamm insignia on the side was also stolen.

It’s suspected the truck was used to transport the copper wire.

Herrig asked anyone with information in the case to call the sheriff’s office at 785-8632351.

School board meeting reset for Thursday Plans for the Lawrence school board to approve next year’s school calendar will have to wait.

Inclement weather led to the board postponing its meeting Monday night to 8 p.m.

Thursday at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

Officials plan to start the meeting soon after the district’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Event, which is set for 6:30 p.m.

Thursday in the auditorium at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive.

Among items on the board’s agenda: ● Approve the district’s 2011-12 calendar, with school scheduled to begin during the third week of August and end before Memorial Day. ● Approve a plan to close Lawrence’s four junior high schools June 30, then reopen them July 1 with new names: Central, South, Southwest and West middle schools. The change is part of the district’s ongoing plans to reconfigure the district’s schools.

Hearing set in witness intimidation An 18-year-old Lawrence man, who was arrested Saturday and accused of intimidating a witness, will have a bond hearing later this week.

Lawrence police detectives arrested Jermel Fleming on

Saturday on a charge of intimidating a witness, and the arrest came one day after a Douglas County jury convicted Fleming of five counts in connection with a June robbery of a Kansas University student in the 900 block of Tennessee Street.

Lawrence police spokesman Matt Sarna said a report was written and forwarded to the district attorney’s office before the arrest. District Attorney Charles Branson on Monday said he could only say Fleming faced a bond hearing Friday morning.

In court last Friday after the verdict, prosecutors did ask District Judge Sally Pokorny to revoke Fleming’s $75,000 bond based on the severity of the charges he was convicted of, including aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. But Pokorny declined and said Fleming had shown up for all of his court appearances and that he had a supportive family to make sure he abided by his bond conditions.

Pokorny is scheduled to sentence Fleming on Feb. 7 in the robbery case.

CJHS students take pedometer challenge Fifty Central Junior High School ninth-graders are tracking their daily activity in a weeklong Pedometer Challenge. The top four students will earn prizes Friday.

The students are enrolled in an advanced physical education class.

“Students will chart the data for how many steps they take over the weekend, as well as during the school week,” said Teresa Grieb, a class instructor. “They sit most of the school day, except during PE class. We know that some are involved with sports, but the data from the challenge will provide more insight as to how much exercise students get outside of school.”

DILBERT

iPhone sales this year would range from 5 million to 13 million, some coming from what AT&T would have sold. The iPhone is big business for AT&T: The carrier activated 11.1 million iPhones in the first nine months of 2010.

Many analysts say Verizon could sell more iPhones in the U.S. than AT&T this year, given pent-up demand from customers not wanting to switch to AT&T. Yet several factors may give prospective Verizon iPhone buyers pause.

The first Verizon iPhone would likely only work on the older, “3G” network. That network has wide coverage, excellent reliability and less congestion than AT&T’s, but data speeds are slower than new “4G” networks both AT&T and Verizon are building.

Also, Apple has been launching a new iPhone model every summer, and presumably an iPhone 5 is coming. But Verizon may have to wait until next January to get it, giving AT&T a head start. That’s because Verizon may be on the same one-year upgrade cycle that AT&T has been on.

Most importantly, cell phone companies do their best to tie subscribers up with contracts. AT&T executives last year stressed to investors that most of their iPhone users are on family and employer plans — more difficult for an individual to switch from.

Sociology doesn’t explain tragedy

EDITORIALS

United effort Two local business groups should consider pooling their energies to benefit downtown and the rest of Lawrence.

N

ow would seem an ideal time for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Lawrence Inc. to join forces to provide even better and more efficient services for Lawrence.

Headlines tell of the city losing millions of dollars in retail sales to nearby cities.

Lawrence merchants and city officials are studying ways to improve retail sales, attract new businesses and foster existing businesses.

Both organizations are facing some changes: The chamber is moving to new offices, and Downtown Lawrence Inc. is looking for a new director. Both share the same general mission: to improve and strengthen the community through a strong retail environment, attract and support strong, clean and environmentally sound industry and manufacturing with good payrolls, and do what they can to make Lawrence an even finer community.

Sometime in the past, there were questions or differences of opinion about the mission and action of the chamber, with some suggesting another organization was needed to target the specific needs of downtown businesses.

Historically, the chamber has been the umbrella organization that worked to improve and promote retail sales and the retail environment for the entire city. It organized efforts such as Downtown Days Christmas activities, parades and various celebrations. It continues to sponsor an annual fall event to welcome new teachers and KU faculty members, as well as providing valuable lobbying efforts on behalf of Kansas University. Downtown Lawrence has initiated Final Fridays and promoted other good programs.

Perhaps chamber officers became complacent or failed in some areas. Whatever the cause, Downtown Lawrence believed it needed its own organization.

Both organizations can point to areas of success, but there seems reason to believe that joining together and using the strengths of both groups could allow them to do an even better, more coordinated job of helping Lawrence reach its potential.

Officers, board members and individual dues-paying members of both the chamber and Downtown Lawrence should seriously consider and discuss the many positive aspects of merging their efforts. It makes good sense.

WASHINGTON — It would be merciful if, when tragedies such as Tucson’s occur, there were a moratorium on sociology. But respites from half-baked explanations, often serving political opportunism, are impossible because of a timeless human craving and a characteristic of many modern minds.

The craving is for banishing randomness and the inexplicable from human experience. Time was, the gods were useful. What is thunder? The gods are angry.

Polytheism was explanatory.

People postulated causations.

And still do. Hence: The Tucson shooter was (pick your verb) provoked, triggered, unhinged by today’s (pick your noun) rhetoric, vitriol, extremism, “climate of hate.”

Demystification of the world opened the way for real science, including the social sciences.

And for a modern characteristic.

And for charlatans.

A characteristic of many contemporary minds is susceptibility to the superstition that all behavior can be traced to some diagnosable frame of mind that is a product of promptings from the social environment. From which flows a political doctrine: Given clever social engineering, society, and people, can be perfected. This supposedly is the path to progress. It actually is the crux of progressivism. And it is why there is a reflex to blame conservatives first.

Instead, imagine a continuum from the rampages at Columbine

and Virginia Tech — the results of individuals’ insanities — to the assassinations of Lincoln and the Kennedy brothers, which were clearly connected to the politics of John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan, respectively. The two other presidential assassinations also had political colorations.

On July 2, 1881, after four months in office, President James Garfield, who had survived the Civil War battles of Shiloh and Chickamauga, needed a vacation.

He was vexed by warring Republican factions — the Stalwarts, who waved the bloody shirt of Civil War memories, and the Half-Breeds, who stressed the emerging issues of industrialization. Walking to Washington’s Union Station to catch a train, Garfield by chance encountered a disappointed job-seeker. Charles

Guiteau drew a pistol, fired two shots and shouted “I am a Stalwart and Arthur will be president!” On Sept. 19, Garfield died, making Vice President Chester Arthur president. Guiteau was executed, not explained.

On Sept. 6, 1901, President William McKinley, who had survived the battle of Antietam, was shaking hands at a Buffalo exposition when Leon Czolgosz approached, a handkerchief wrapped around his right hand, concealing a gun. Czolgosz, an anarchist, fired two shots. Czolgosz (”I killed the president because he was the enemy of the good people — the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime.”) was executed, not explained.

Now we have explainers. They came into vogue with the murder of President Kennedy. They explained why the “real” culprit was not a self-described Marxist who had moved to Moscow, then returned to support Castro. No, the culprit was a “climate of hate” in conservative Dallas, the “paranoid style” of American (conservative) politics, or some other national sickness resulting from insufficient liberalism.

Last year, New York Times columnist Charles Blow explained that “the optics must be irritating” to conservatives: Barack Obama is black, Nancy Pelosi is female, Rep. Barney Frank is gay, Rep. Anthony Weiner (an unimportant Democrat, listed to serve Blow’s purposes) is Jewish. “It’s enough,” Blow

PUBLIC FORUM

Technology key to education’s future

LAWRENCE

said, “to make a good old boy go crazy.” The Times, which after the Tucson shooting said “many on the right” are guilty of “demonizing” people and of exploiting “arguments of division,” apparently was comfortable with Blow’s insinuation that conservatives are misogynistic, homophobic, racist anti-Semites.

On Sunday, the Times explained Tucson: “It is facile and mistaken to attribute this particular madman’s act directly to Republicans or Tea Party members. But ...” The “directly” is priceless.

Three days before Tucson, Howard Dean explained that the tea party movement is “the last gasp of the generation that has trouble with diversity.” Rising to the challenge of lowering his reputation and the tone of public discourse, Dean smeared tea partiers as racists: They oppose Obama’s agenda, Obama is African-American, ergo ...

Let us hope that Dean is the last gasp of the generation of liberals whose default position in any argument is to indict opponents as racists. This McCarthyism of the left — devoid of intellectual content, unsupported by data — is a mental tic, not an idea but a tactic for avoiding engagement with ideas. It expresses limitless contempt for the American people, who have reciprocated by reducing liberalism to its current characteristics of electoral weakness and bad sociology.

I paid little attention to the governor of Florida, believing that one Bush at a time was plenty.

Perhaps I made a big mistake, being a lifelong educator in search of plausible answers to complicated and often unanswerable questions.

Maybe I should have listened to at least a few of the things that Jeb Bush was espousing and implementing.

Over the holidays, I caught an interview he gave to Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, and even replayed it three times.

Some of his thoughts seemed Pollyanna-ish, but reasoned. Jeb smiles a lot, even when challenged, and he seems quite interested in the views of others who disagree with him on education matters. Civility works for him.

He appears schooled on substance. And importantly, he is campaigning for nothing less than wholesale school reform.

Specifically, he has been an architect of policies that support vouchers and charter schools, improved and more aggressive testing, and school grading systems in the Sunshine State. Some of these policies have been controversial, but that does not seem to bother the former governor. In fact, he hopes to broadly replicate, through the nation’s governors and state legislators, substantive parts of these initiatives and he is presently working with elected officials from no less than 20 states.

I was especially taken by his thoughts on digital learning.

Along with a former Democratic governor of West Virginia, Bob Wise, he is co-chairing the Digital Learning Council, a coalition of heavyweight business leaders, effective education advocates, and others seeking to improve the use of technology in schools, identify best practices in that area, and encourage states to adopt those Budig strategies.

He and Wise believe that digital learning is an effective way to bring the nation’s best teachers to underserved students, while also accounting for the economic reality of the nation’s school districts.

The two former governors also see digital learning as the way to assure quality in every classroom, using some of the nation’s finest teachers in areas such as mathematics, the sciences, and foreign languages. Digital learning offers, they say, an effective way for students to replay the class many times over, and it can be a form of personalized education, with some assistance from resident teachers.

Essentially, the former governors contend, digital learning assures higher quality and lower costs.

It is not surprising that education associations are skeptical, but since President Obama has

encouraged state officials and unions to find common ground on issues like merit pay, teacher evaluation, and charter school expansion, the Council’s leadership is guardedly optimistic.

“Governors have a chance to be big and bold, and they don’t have to paint in pastel colors,” Bush has said repeatedly.

I believe, as do others, that Jeb Bush is on to something: he is right about the power of technology and he is right about the fundamental importance of education.

As the brother of the nation’s 43rd president and the son of the 41st, he has shown little appetite for the national spotlight since leaving office, other than for the particulars of educational policy.

History will remember George W. Bush and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy as the authors and partners of perhaps the most farreaching piece of federal education legislation, “No Child Left Behind.” They deserve eternal credit for much of the substance therein.

Maybe the efforts of Jeb Bush can lead to some meaningful understanding and fair-minded compromise in the new Congress. One can only hope so since nothing is more important than education to the continued economic recovery of the United States.

To the editor: The House Republicans don’t like some parts of the Affordable (health) Care Act (ACA), so they’re trying to repeal all of it, all at once. Well and good. Elections have consequences.

However some overwhelmingly popular parts of the ACA are already in effect. Here are just a few of the new rules for insurance companies: ● no pre-existing condition exclusions for children ● must-insure rules for family members up to age 26 ● no lifetime caps on benefits ● must spend at least 80 percent or 85 percent of your money on benefits on average or else give you a refund.

The ACA is already addressing some other issues as well, such as: ● There’s a new tax credit for small businesses. ● The “doughnut hole” in Medicare prescription coverage is being phased out. ● The new Elder Justice Act is being phased in to prevent abuse of the elderly, e.g. in nursing homes.

The Republicans want to make this all go away. Instead they should do the hard work to decide exactly which parts of the ACA they do and don’t like, and just repeal the bad parts.

By voting it all down at once, they’re telling us they want to go back to the bad old days. That’s good for insurance companies that invested heavily in their election. It’s bad for the rest of us.

David Burress, Lawrence

Zookeeper grazed by venomous viper WICHITA — Officials at the Sedgwick County Zoo say a worker was hospitalized for observation after being grazed by a strike from a poisonous snake. The snake was being fed with tongs Monday when it grazed the zookeeper’s finger.

The snake was a venomous Kanburi pit viper. Their bites can cause pain and swelling, but are not known to be lifethreatening.

Kanburi pit vipers are native to Thailand. The green and brown snakes live in trees and can grow to more than two feet long.

Little rejoins team ——

KU senior guard reinstated after sitting out six games for battery charges

BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Tigers’ title

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior basketball player Mario Little, who has missed the last six games while on indefinite suspension, has been reinstated for competition, coach Bill Self said Monday night.

Little, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard from Chicago, was arrested on Dec. 16 on misdemeanor battery charges, two counts of criminal damage to property and one count of criminal trespassing.

“Mario has met the requirements Little of the court and has received a diversion agreement on the two misdemeanor battery charges,” Self revealed Monday.

“He has not only met the requirements of the court but also the requirements of our basketball program. One of those stipulations is his receiving weekly counseling that will continue through the end of our basketball season.”

Little, according to the original police report, pushed a 22-yearold Lawrence female resident in an attempt to find a person listed as his girlfriend. The police report indicated he pushed the person identified as his girlfriend into a sink. He also had confrontations with two men in the early morning hours.

“We as a program take the events of Dec. 16 very seriously,” Self said. “Mario made mistakes and exercised poor judgment. We have let the legal process play out, and have been able to evaluate Mario in the last four weeks in a variety of ways, including counseling. We feel he should be allowed to rejoin our team for games.”

Little played in nine games prior to his suspension, averaging 6.2 points off 55 percent shooting. He will be eligible to play in Wednesday’s 8 p.m. Big 12 opener at Iowa State.

“I believe in Mario,” Self said.

“He has been a pleasure to coach and I am certainly proud of the fact he only has three hours left to graduate (in African-American

Auburn edges Oregon on last-second field goal

OREGON’S LAVASIER TUINEI (80) REACHES OUT TO MAKE A CATCH as Auburn’s Demond Washington defends Monday in Glendale, Ariz.

GLENDALE, ARIZ. — Auburn’s 53year wait is finally over.

The Tigers ended a half century national championship drought Monday night, ironically enough in the desert, when place-kicker Wes Byrum split the uprights with an 19-yard f ield goal as time expired, lifting Auburn to a 22-19 victory against Oregon before 78,603 at University of Phoenix Stadium.

It gave Auburn its first national championship since 1957 and capped a remarkable turnaround under coach Gene Chizik, who took a downtrodden team that went 5-7 in Tommy Tuberville’s final season to the top of the college football world in two short years.

“Fifty-three years, baby! This is for you,” Chizik shouted to fans afterward. “War Eagle!”

“Anything is possible,” said Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton, who finished with 265 passing yards and 64 rushing. “I guarantee that nobody five or six months ago nobody would have would say that Auburn University is going to win the national championship. Now, on Jan. 10, 2011, we can say we did it.”

It took all 60 minutes. After Oregon tied the game at 19 with 2:23 left on a touchdown run by LaMichael James and two-point conversion, the Tigers went on a 73-yard drive that ended with them hoisting the crystal trophy.

Encouraging season, tough end for Chiefs

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS RUNNING BACK JAMAAL CHARLES (25) RUNS PAST Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed to score a 41-yard touchdown in the Chiefs’ playoff loss on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Charles was one the highlights of the Chiefs’ season.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Having six of this year’s playoff teams on next year’s schedule will probably make it impossible for the Kansas City Chiefs to repeat their six-game improvement of 2010.

And if an undefeated Chiefs team seems a stretch, Todd Haley’s third Kansas City team will need to make significant improvement just to match the 10-6 record that carried the Chiefs to their first AFC West crown in seven years.

The first order of business will be finding a replacement for offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.

The experienced Weis, leaving to take the same job at Florida, may be hard to follow after bringing instant credibility along with his three Super Bowl rings.

In just one year, he helped Matt Cassel make great strides as an NFL quarterback, coaxed a Pro Bowl year out of wide receiver

Dwayne Bowe and tutored Jamaal Charles in becoming the league’s No. 2 rusher.

Also key will be getting rush linebacker Tamba Hali’s signature on a new contract. Hali burst into stardom in his fifth year by leading the AFC with 14 1/2 sacks and then took down Joe Flacco a couple of times on Sunday in one of the few bright spots for the Chiefs during a a 30-7 whipping

by Baltimore in the first playoff round.

Through the draft and free agency, assuming the NFL avoids a lockout, the Chiefs will go into the offseason looking for help at wide receiver, offensive line and defensive line.

Even while they were preparing for the Ravens last week, general manager Scott Pioli was preparing for the April draft.

So far as Chiefs’ GM, Pioli is 1 for 1.

His first draft, with little time to get ready and conducted mostly with a scouting department left over from the previous regime, was poor. First-rounder

Tyson Jackson has been spotty at defensive end and most of this year could not dislodge free agent acquisition Shaun Smith.

The only significant contributor from the 2009 draft has been place kicker Ryan Succop.

Pioli’s second draft was terrific, and a big reason to think better days have come to stay in Kansas City.

Eric Berry shows all the signs of becoming one of the league’s outstanding safeties. The firstround pick from Tennessee led the Chiefs with four interceptions and nine passes broken up, and he played a terrific first half against the Ravens.

Dexter McCluster, if he can stay healthy, is a playmaker wherever the Chiefs line him up.

Tony Moeaki was ranked second among rookie tight ends with 47 receptions for 556 yards.

Moeaki did not make the Chiefs forget Tony Gonzalez, their perennial Pro Bowler who was traded to Atlanta, but he did Please see CHIEFS’, page 3B

Anthony says Nets deal not imminent DENVER (AP) — Carmelo Anthony doesn’t think a trade to New Jersey is imminent, and he expressed remorse Monday that teammate Chauncey Billups’ name has been dragged into this drama.

A day after reports the Nets were closing in on a deal for the Denver Nuggets’ All-Star forward, Anthony said he doesn’t see himself heading to New Jersey anytime soon.

“That’s my feeling. I don’t think so. I don’t want to elaborate on that anymore. That’s just my own personal feeling,” Anthony said.

Asked if he would sign his threeyear, $65 million extension to facilitate a trade to the Nets, Anthony said: “I really don’t know.”

“I’m waiting to see Masai and Josh, wherever they at,” he added, referring to Nuggets general man-

COMMENTARY

New hires generate optimism at Texas

By Chuck Carlton The Dallas Morning News

New Texas football hires Manny Diaz and Bryan Harsin waited about three minutes into Friday’s lunch with Mack Brown to start talking business.

Barbecue took a back seat to strategy and serious planning of spring practice.

Ideas bounced around the table between Diaz, the incoming defensive coordinator, and Harsin, his offensive counterpart.

The youthful energy was exactly the byproduct Brown envisioned when he overhauled his staff after a 5-7 disappointment in 2010. People who wondered if Brown still retained the will to do what was necessary received their answer.

The departure of defensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp for Florida was an unexpected blow. Other moves were Brown’s answer to a season that stunned people around the program.

Many familiar faces of the last 13 seasons, including offensive coordinator Greg Davis, are gone.

If the staff overhaul were a screenplay, it would be No Country for Old Men II. Nothing exemplifies the change more than Diaz and Harsin. The combined age of the two is 70, or one year less than Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has spent on the planet.

Each was on Brown’s short list when he began the search process. Details have begun to emerge on how things came together.

Other names were more experienced and better known than Diaz, who had toiled in relative obscurity for four years at Middle Tennessee State before becoming the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State this season.

Everywhere Brown turned for advice, Diaz’s name surfaced. His rapid rise was similar to Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, an Arkansas high school coach five years ago.

Soon into his interview Tuesday, Diaz, 36, had already shown the qualities needed in Muschamp’s successor.

Harsin’s journey to Austin was different, although it carried common themes. As offensive coordinator at Boise State, he had been in the public eye since that memorable Fiesta Bowl upset of Oklahoma in 2007. Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst and Harsin were always options 1A and 1B for Brown, who had already decided that running backs coach Major Applewhite would be co-offensive coordinator.

While Chryst interviewed first, he wanted to pursue the Pittsburgh head coaching job.

Brown turned quickly to Harsin, who might have been a better fit anyway. The well-respected Chryst would have been bringing the ghosts of Woody and Bo with him from the Big Ten. Three yards and a cloud of dust, anyone? While Harsin, 34, utilizes the run more than people realize, his offense is definitely grounded in the 21st century.

Message boards exploded with optimism. If Harsin could turn anti-prospect Kellen Moore into a Heisman candidate, he should be able to rebuild Garrett Gilbert.

Throughout the process, Brown had nearly worn out his iPhone texting players and parents.

The message: Yes, the season was nothing anybody expected, but the program wasn’t broken. He planned to hire the best coaching staff in America, he explained.

Time will tell if he succeeded. He still has an offensive line coach to hire. While Diaz and Harsin are undeniably impressive, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Baylor defeated Texas this past season.

Each figures to be as good or better in 2011.

For better or worse, the new staff is the next generation, handpicked by Brown.

The Longhorns have taken the first steps beyond 5-7.

ager Masai Ujiri and team president Josh Kroenke. “Pretty sure they’re working on whatever they’re working on right now.

They haven’t been here. I’m waiting patiently until they get back so I can sit down with them.”

Anthony said he was sorry that Billups’ name has been brought up in a proposed three-team deal involving Detroit.

Billups is a Denver native who wants to stay in his hometown following his trade from the Pistons a couple of years ago. Billups has intimated that if he’s traded to the Nets, he might ask them to tear up his contract after the season so he could return to Denver.

“He was looking forward to retiring here, whenever he’s done,” Anthony said.

Pittsburgh lures Graham away from Tulsa PITTSBURGH — Todd Graham agreed Monday to leave Tulsa and become Pitt’s third football coach in a month, a move designed to bring stability quickly to a program rocked by former coach Mike Haywood’s arrest last month.

Graham told his Tulsa players of the move at a meeting Monday night, and Pitt made the hiring official shortly after that.

Graham had a 36-17 record in four seasons at Tulsa, including a 10-3 record this season that included a 28-27 upset at Notre Dame — where Pitt lost under coach Dave Wannstedt.

Wannstedt was forced to resign last month following a disappointing 7-5 regular season and repeated failures to win an outright Big East Conference title.

Graham made $1.3 million at Tulsa, about $300,000 more than Wannstedt was paid from 2005 until this season, but is expected to be paid about $2 million per season Graham at Pitt. Graham’s salary is believed to be one reason he was bypassed during Pitt’s initial search, but the school subsequently decided to pay more.

BATON ROUGE, LA. — Les Miles expects to meet with Michigan about the Wolverines’ coaching vacancy, though the LSU coach said he is also “extremely happy” with his current job.

PRO FOOTBALL Former AFL star Gilchrist dies BUFFALO, N.Y. — Cookie Gilchrist, one of the American Football League’s first marquee players whose ferocious running style drew comparisons to that of the great Jim Brown, died of cancer. He was 75.

He died early Monday at an assisted-living facility near Pittsburgh, nephew Thomas Gilchrist said. He was first diagnosed with throat cancer, and the disease spread to his prostate and colon.

“The Bills were very lucky to have procured the services of Cookie Gilchrist, who was one of the greatest fullbacks I have ever seen in all of my years in professional football,” said Ralph Wilson, the 92-year-old Buffalo owner.

Gilchrist’s alluring nickname belied the notion that he might easily crumble. He was a 251-pound bruiser, and his grit and singlemindedness extended beyond the football field. He took stands against racism and wasn’t afraid to demand better contracts.

Gilchrist joined the Bills of the AFL in 1962 and spent three seasons there. He was the league’s player of the year in 1962, when he had 1,096 yards rushing and a league-leading 13 touchdowns. In 1964, Gilchrist and quarterback Jack Kemp led the Bills to their first of two straight AFL championships.

Newton, who uncharacteristically lost a fumble that set up the Ducks’ game-tying score only minute earlier, started it with a 15-yard pass to Emory Blake.

The next play, freshman running back Mike Dyer busted loose for a 37-yard run to the Oregon 23, keeping his knee off the ground by resting on an Oregon defender not far from the line of scrimmage before breaking for more yardage, a play upheld by replay.

Dyer, who ran for 144 yards to earn MVP honors despite not playing in the first quarter for unspecified reasons, nearly put a touchdown capper on the game, busting free for a 17yard run that ended up with him in the end zone with only 10 seconds remaining.

Replay showed that he was down at the one. After a kneel down took the clock down to two seconds, on came Byrum, who famously did the Gator chomp after a game-winning kick at Florida as a freshman He has an ever better tale to tell now, sending his kick through the uprights before Auburn’s players poured onto the field as orange and blue confetti rained from the ceiling.

It was clear from the start Monday that the expected shootout — appropriate given the desert setting — wasn’t going to materialize.

Both teams looked out of sorts in a scoreless first quarter, no doubt affected by the 37-day layoff since the end of the season. Auburn had only 21 yards of offense. Oregon’s

Darron Thomas threw two interceptions.

Both teams got it going, though. Oregon scored first on a 26-yard field goal by Rob Beard before Newton threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Kodi Burns to make it 7-3.

After an 81-yard reception

by Jeff Maehl, running back James scored on an eight-yard throwback screen for a score.

Oregon faked the extra point, pitching it to the kicker, Beard, to convert, making it 117.

Auburn answered with a 16play drive on its next possession but didn’t get any points after Newton short-armed an easy touchdown pass to Eric Smith in the end zone on fourth-and-goal. The Tigers still capitalized, however, when defensive tackle Mike Blanc stopped James for a safety on the Ducks’ first play, trimming the lead to 11-9.

After the free kick, Newton led the Tigers down the field again, sidestepping a blitz to hit Emory Blake for a 30-yard touchdown up the sideline to give Auburn a 16-11 lead going into the break.

Defense ruled the second half. The only scoring in the third quarter was a 28-yard field goal by Byrum that made it 19-11.

The Tigers shut down the Ducks’ vaunted rushing attack, applying pressure on

the interior line to stuff Thomas and James in the backfield before they could get going. Oregon, which averaged over 300 rushing yards per game, finished with 75 yards on the ground Monday.

“I cannot be more proud of our defense,” Chizik said. “For one month our defense was bound and determined to show up here tonight and and play the best game of their life.”

Oregon looked left for dead with 5:05 left in the game, trailing by eight and having just punted the ball away. But Ducks linebacker Casey Matthews popped Newton on a running play, jarring the ball loose as teammate Cliff Harris fell on the loose ball at the Auburn 40. It was Newton’s second lost fumble all season.

Oregon didn’t waste the opportunity, despite a personal foul penalty that backed it up 15 yards. The Ducks marched 55 yards in eight plays before James scored on a two-yard run to trim Auburn’s lead to 19-17 with 2:33 left.

Thomas corralled a bad snap, rolled right, then threw across his body to Maehl for the two-point conversion attempt to tie the game at 19, setting up the dramatic finish.

BCS CHAMPIONSHIP NOTEBOOK

Weather causes disruptions for fans GLENDALE, ARIZ. (AP) — Wintry weather in Alabama left some Auburn fans with tickets to the BCS championship game out in the cold back home, while others scrambled for alternative routes or endured delays.

Charter flights out of Birmingham Airport were able to take off by midday. On campus, both classes and the

viewing party scheduled at Auburn Arena were canceled.

Tigers fan James Harrison made it to Arizona from Charlotte, N.C., but hadn’t been able to reach friends trying to get there.

“I know people who were sleeping in the airport at Birmingham,” Harrison said.

“Who knows if they made it or not?”

Ratings game: Television ratings for the BCS in its first year of a new contract that puts all the games on ESPN have been down for most of the games compared to last year.

Burke Magnus, ESPN senior vice president for college sports programming, said he’s not concerned with a oneyear dip.

“I take solace from the fact that the numbers that we put up this year, you don’t have to go very far back in the history of the BCS to find equivalent games that we’ve beaten,” he said.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Marquette coach Buzz Williams says his undersized team spends 70 percent of each practice on defense and rebounding. He may be able to increase that percentage, since the Golden Eagles look just f ine on offense.

Dwight Buycks scored a career-high 21 points, and Marquette used an impressive long-distance shooting performance to upset No. 9 Notre Dame, 79-57, on Monday.

“If it was a good shot, we took the good shot, and I think everybody was making shots,” Buycks said.

Buycks went 5-for-5 from three-point range, part of a 12for-17 night from behind the arc for Marquette (12-5, 3-1 Big East). The Golden Eagles shot 53 percent (26 for 49) overall.

“Offensively, I don’t think we’ve had any issues, any questions,” Williams said.

“Sometimes we’re going to shoot it great, sometimes we’re just going to shoot it OK.” Notre Dame (14-3, 3-2) gained five spots in Monday’s poll to reach its highest ranking since January 2009, but it’ll be tough for the Fighting Irish to move higher despite getting 15 points from Eric Atkins. Tim Abromaitis and Scott Martin each finished with 10.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to play H-O-R-S-E against them,” Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. “You’re glad a night like this counts as one loss. It counts as one.”

Jae Crowder had 18 points,

Studies). I’m more concerned about what’s best for our program rather than an individual, but in this case, I believe he deserves a second opportunity to finish his career in uniform. I have consulted with many people about this, and after a lot of deliberation feel confident this is the best thing to do.”

Little issued his take on the situation Monday night: “I have appreciated all the support people have shown me, especially my teammates,” Little said. “I accept responsibility for what took place that evening and have learned from it and feel awful about it.

I’m appreciative of the opportunity to come back. The last four weeks have given me time to reflect and reevaluate a lot of things with myself. I certainly anticipate not only handling situations better but also feel I have become a much better person because of this.” ●

Releford injury update: KU sophomore guard Travis Releford, who sprained his left ankle late in the first half of Sunday’s 67-60 overtime victory at Michigan, is listed as questionable for the Iowa State game.

Alum captains: Bo Jackson “Travis is actually doing and Ahmad Rashad were the pretty well,” Self said Monday honorary captains for the BCS on his Hawk Talk radio show. title game.

“We did all the X-rays and

everything. He has a pretty severe ankle sprain. They worked on it a lot today getting the swelling down. I’d say his status for Wednesday is up in the air. It’s better than doubtful. I hope we have him.

I don’t know if that will be the case or not. We’re going to need him down the road, that’s for sure. I don’t anticipate him missing more than one game if he misses any.” ●

On second thought: Self, after watching the game films, had this to say about Sunday’s win at Michigan: “I thought we took a little step back yesterday, but one thing we did yesterday was play great in overtime,” Self said on the Big 12 weekly coaches teleconference.

KU outscored Michigan, 169, in OT. “To win on the road when we went 2-for-20 from three in regulation ... they shot it miserably as well. Some nights you have to figure a way to win. We let it get away from us by being so careless, but we played well down the stretch and made some nice plays. This might sound strange to say, but that was probably good for us (in long run) to lose momentum and have to come back and get it back. I definitely take some positives out of that game.”

In addition, Javier Arenas led all NFL rookie defensive backs with three sacks, and rookie safety Kendrick Lewis had three interceptions.

Another draft like that could bring the Chiefs much closer to the sort of team that can compete with the Baltimores of the league.

Bowe made the Pro Bowl after leading the NFL with 15 touchdown catches this season, but was completely shut down in three games and Cassel didn’t even throw to him on Sunday. Another threat at receiver would have made it diff icult for the

“Now that we’ve laid a foundation over these last two years, hopefully there’ll be some consistency,” said Cassel. “For me, just being now in my third year and knowing the routine and knowing what coach Haley expects of us, it’s just making sure guys are accountable and trying to improve myself.”

The first phase of Haley’s long-range plan seems to be achieved.

“I thought it was a really good year for us, year No. 2 of our program and what we’re trying to get done,” Haley said. “I thought we clearly got the ship turned around and going in the right direction.”

Dear Annie: My boyfriend was divorced a couple of months ago. He and his exwife have six children together. She is very bitter about the divorce and dislikes me intensely.

’Lights Out’ a

winner, not a knockout

The “Rocky” franchise has been called a lot of things, but no one has accused it of nuance. “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX) reimagines the post-career worries of a washedup palooka and ladles on a heap of classrelated complications and recession-era headaches to boot.

Holt McCallany stars as Patrick “Lights Out” Leary, a former heavyweight who came one round short of a title and who gave up the game after his nurse wife Theresa (Catherine McCormack) made him an offer he couldn’t refuse: Fight again, and I’ll leave you. Five years have passed, Theresa has finished medical school, and his kids have grown up in a McMansion and become prone to all of the social ills a posh private school can provide.

Nicely acted and superbly shot, “Lights Out” takes its sweet time getting started. Like a lot of plodding pilots, it spends an hour explaining a dilemma the audience would have understood had it been sung in the theme song.

Just as the FX series “Justified” takes a stab at reinventing the Western, “Lights Out” seems shrouded in slightly dusty sports mythology. The notion of the epic comeback by the great white heavyweight seems positively antique. And it wasn’t exactly fresh when Sylvester Stallone dreamed up “Rocky” 35 years ago. ● Big, blustery, overproduced and obvious, some TV genres just lend themselves to parody. “The Colbert Report” has mined ratings and critical acclaim by imitating Bill O’Reilly and other Fox News personalities. So something like “Onion SportsDome” (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central) would seem to be a natural.

Unfortunately, the jokes in the pilot — about the Miami Heat rewriting the rules of basketball and about the co-hosts’ (Mark Shepard and Alex Reiser) disdain for soccer — seemed flat, dated and belabored. On a basic level, the hosts just aren’t loud enough.

“SportsDome” premieres immediately following the third-season opener of “Tosh.0” (9 p.m., Comedy Central). ● Syfy unspools a marathon of “Green Hornet” (9 a.m. through 10 p.m., Syfy). The series ran from 1966 to 1967 and starred Van Williams in the title role and introduced Bruce Lee as Kato. ● DVDs available today include “The Bullwinkle Show.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● “Nova” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks at recent earthquakes. ● Finn and Rachel have a plan on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Jim’s brother knows too much on “No Ordinary Family” (7 p.m., ABC). ● A corpse mislaid needs finding on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines a post-quake Haiti gripped by gang violence and corruption. ● Anna confronts Diana on “V” (8 p.m., ABC). ● A client’s son faces murder charges on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Adam adjusts on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A prosecutor becomes a victim on “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC). ● A drive-by shooting claims a young victim on “Southland” (9 p.m., TNT). ● New stories on “Teen Mom 2” (9 p.m., MTV).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Jan. 11: This year spotlights your home and personal life. You will want to spend more time enjoying the good parts of living life rather than be mucked up in the doldrums of making a living. If you are single, you could meet someone while just being you. Summer 2011 looks unusually exciting for both unattached and married Goats.

Recognize that if you are married, you're making waves in your sweetie's life. Aries can trigger your ire!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Though normally you would be on cruise control, right now events and people trip you up. You can try to avoid a collision, but you won't be able to. Tonight: Do what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★ Others might be more contrary than you are willing to acknowledge.

Sometimes by stating your perception properly, the other party can look at his or her behavior. Tonight: Call it an early night.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Zero in on

your priorities. In some fashion, you could be overwhelmed. Know that you can handle nearly anything, if you so choose. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ A take-charge attitude generally works, but right now it could fall flat. Others keep coming in with new ideas or facts, making the just-reached idea or solution moot.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Keep reaching out for answers or solutions beyond your normal constraints. Everyone subconsciously has mental filters. Tonight: Don't push.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Relate directly to an individual. Even if you are a manager, don't go through anyone. You will find that success heads in with this personal touch.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Others come toward you. At first you might be overwhelmed, wishing you could clone yourself! Tonight: Choose the invitation you prefer most.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Pace yourself, as you have much to get done, and your resources

are limited. Pick and choose what seems to be urgent or enticing. Tonight: Make it early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ No one can deny that you have an enterprising spirit, though sometimes you do get scattered. Tonight: Stay in the light.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ You understand a lot more than you realize, but acknowledging that fact could be difficult.

Communication could bury you as you attempt to clear an open period for a personal matter. Tonight: As late as need be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You seem to clear out many hassles of the day. You will communicate, and you will let others know what you have in mind. Tonight: Take in new vistas.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You might want to do something very differently but have yet to get going. Avoid being locked into the material side of your life. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

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

Dear Annie: I’m 15 years old. Two years ago, I arrived home from school to find a burglar in my room. My bedroom door was locked, and when I got near it, the thief burst through the door. I attempted to kick him in the groin, but missed. He grabbed my throat, squeezing it tight, and then went out the window. I called 911 and waited inside a closet for help. I made out a report and told my parents.

They never found the guy, and ever since, I have become extremely paranoid when left home alone, even if it’s for only an hour. In the past few months, it has gotten worse. I keep thinking there’s someone trying to get in, or I hear imaginary footsteps in the hallway. Until my parents come home, I keep a kitchen knife by my side. A secondary problem is that when I think someone is going to touch my back or neck, I tense up.

I don’t know how to express my feelings to my family without sounding pathetic. I don’t want therapy, because my parents can’t afford it. Do you have any suggestions about how to get over my phobia? — Paranoid in Southern Calif.
