Ex-head of ticket office pleads guilty in KU case Liebsch has agreed to cooperate in prosecution of others

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

WICHITA — The former head of the ticket office at Kansas Athletics Inc. pleaded guilty Thursday to taking part in a scheme to

Liebsch

steal at least $2 million worth of athletics tickets, to reap a total of $5 million from their sales and to elude payment of taxes on the transactions.

And she told a federal judge that she’d accept spending up to

20 years in prison for her five years’ worth of crimes, condensed in an indictment to five words: conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

“From approximately age 22 to age 27, Kassie Liebsch made

decisions and took actions which she now deeply regrets,” said David Bell, her attorney, after the hearing. “By pleading guilty today in court, she has accepted full responsibility for her decisions and actions. She looks forward to moving on to a new chapter in her life.”

As part of a plea agreement

accepted and approved by U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown, Liebsch, now 28, also must repay up to as much as $2 million — either on her own or jointly with other codefendants in the case, should they be found guilty. She admitted to receiving $100,000 Please see FORMER, page 5A

Promise aside, Brownback’s budget slices school funding

They have a dream of serving the community

Opponents say districts will be forced to close buildings, lay off teachers

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback, who promised to protect public schools during his campaign for office, has proposed a budget that would cut school funding this year and next year.

“The economic stagnation has put state revenue into a decline for a fourth year in a row and required me to make difficult Brownback decisions in order to maintain the most essential programs of the state at acceptable levels of funding,” said Brownback, a Republican who was sworn into office this week.

BERRY PLASTICS

Warehouse deal may mean abatement, incentives

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A deal to land a 675,000square-foot Berry Plastics warehouse likely will require both a 90 percent tax abatement and upward of $600,000 in cash incentives, according to new figures from Douglas County.

Douglas County commissioners are preparing for a Feb. 2 public hearing on a package of incentives for the approximately $20 million Berry project, which is proposed for a 60-acre

site about 1. 5 miles west of the Lecompton interchange on the Kansas Turnpike.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug has Weinaug begun sending out a financial analysis of the project to local governments that would be affected by any future tax abatement. He’s also sending a message that incen-

Those costs include a new turn lane on County Route 438 — also known as the Farmers’ Turnpike — to serve the site.

Lawrence’s four public junior high schools could start the next academic year with more than new missions.

The schools — already set to become middle schools by welcoming sixth-graders to campus and leaving ninth-graders to high schools — now will get a chance to get entirely new names, members of the Lawrence school board decided Thursday night.

On a 4-3 vote, the board opted to forego simply changing the school’s names from junior highs to middle schools.

Instead, the board will appoint a name-recommending committee for each school whose members will be responsible for coming up with names

DEATHS Fr. Frank Krische Fr. Frank Krische, 79, of Topeka died January 12, 2011. He was born December 23, 1931 the son of Frank Anthony and Pauline Marie Krische. Fr. Frank was baptized December 28, 1931, at St. Joseph’s Church, Topeka.

John Robert ‘Bob’ Lowther CHANUTE — Long-time Kansas educator John Robert “Bob” Lowther, 89, died January 11, 2011, at Neosho Regional Memorial Hospital in Chanute, Kansas.

Services will be held at the Byers Avenue United Methodist Church at 10 a.m. on Lowther Saturday, January 15. Burial will be in Ozark Memorial Cemetery, Joplin, MO. Visitation will be from 6-7 p.m. on Friday, January 14 at Parker Mortuary, Joplin.

Mr. Lowther was born in Granby, Mo., November 28, 1921, the son of John F. and Edna (Kenney) Lowther. He attended rural elementary schools in Cherokee County and graduated from Riverton High School in 1940.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Dorothy Lea Carr, and two children: Marcia Longberg, Chanute, and John Robert Lowther II, Lawrence; three grandchildren Michelle Loomis and husband Matt of Humboldt, KS, Christie Williams and husband Justin, Olathe, KS, and Benjamin Longberg and wife Kelly of Huntsville, AL. He is also survived by two greatgrandsons, Joel S. Williams and Jacob Robert Williams, both of Olathe.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and two sisters, Mary Ann Kinion and Virginia Dobkins.

After high school graduation, he worked for a time as a toolmaker for Boeing Air Craft, Wichita, before joining the Merchant Marine during World War II. He served on merchant ships in the North Atlantic. He was a crew member on ships carrying troops into Nor-

mandy during the D-Day Invasion of France.

After the war, he worked on heavy equipment in mines in the Pitcher-Cardin area.

He attended Joplin Junior College and earned his teaching certificate.

He completed his B.S. in Education from what was then Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg.

He earned his M.S. in Education from KSTC in 1956.

In 1949 Mr. Lowther began teaching sixth grade at Riverton. Then in 1956, he became the Riverton Elementary School principal.

In 1963 he accepted a position as principal of Centennial Elementary School in Lawrence and in 1965 he was tapped to design and open an openspace public school in Lawrence, Broken Arrow, where students were allowed to progress according to their ability level, rather than be bound by their grade level.

He was seen as an innovator in development of school curriculum and raising student achievement levels.

He served as principal in Lawrence, Kansas, for 23 years before he retired.

For many years Mr. Lowther was Sunday school superintendent for the Riverton Friends Church. He was a board member of the Byers Avenue United Methodist Church in Joplin, and for many years he was a Sunday school teacher at Byers Avenue.

He was past president of the Ariel Nims Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution in Joplin, a member of the Freeman Hospital Home Care Board of Directors, Cherokee County Retired Teachers Association, and Phi Delta Kappa (education honorary).

Board seeks new school names CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

to replace the directional labels — Central, South, Southwest and West — that have been familiar for years.

Board members plan to make the final decisions.

“The directions are not accurate anymore,” said Mary Loveland, who has spent 20 years on the school board.

“What are we going to call (a school on) the land we have out west? West Squared?

“Seriously, this is an opportunity to do it right.”

Unless, of course, the committees favor the familiar.

“If they decide to keep the same names, I guess we’ll just have to swallow that,” Loveland said.

Loveland joined members Marlene Merrill, Rich Minder and Vanessa Sanburn in approving the pursuit of new names — but not mascots — for the junior highs, which officially will become middle schools July 1.

Administrators had recommended retaining the school’s directional names, but replacing “junior high” in each case with “middle.” Frank Harwood, the district’s chief operations officer, said principals had acknowledged already having plenty of other issues to deal with, given upcoming changes to curriculum, enrollments, schedules and other matters related to the switch to middle schools.

Mark Bradford, the board’s vice president, criticized fellow board members for even considering making such major changes, which could require new signs, stationery and sports uniforms. The state is looking to cut $1.2 million from this year’s budget and up to $4 million for next year.

“I just think it’s a waste of taxpayers’ money at this point,” Bradford said. Besides, he said, “We’re going to confuse the hell out of everybody.”

Scott Morgan and Bob Byers indicated support for changing direction at only one school: Central, which would have relied on its building’s original name — when it had been a high school — to become Liberty Memorial Middle School.

Superintendent Rick Doll plans to ask principals for potential nominees — likely to be taken from site councils and student councils — so that board members can form the committees Jan. 24.

Berry Plastics deal likely needs abatement CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

help pay for an upgrade to a Rural Water District No. 6 waterline that is needed for the large building and interior, private roads that would serve the facility.

All together, the improvements are expected to cost about $1.6 million. Berry Plastics would pay the difference.

Weinaug thinks the county has a chance to win two state grants to help with the costs, perhaps lowering the county’s costs to about $250,000.

But Weinaug said county commissioners may choose to spend the full $600,000, even if the grants are received, to ensure that the project happens.

The f inancial analysis, completed by the city of Lawrence’s economic planner, found that all the local governments affected by the tax abatement will come out ahead on the deal over a 15year period.

Douglas County is expected to receive $2.21 in benefits

for every $1 it invests — directly and via tax abatements — in the project. The Lecompton school district — the project is not in the Lawrence school district — is expected to receive $12.69 in benefits for every $1 it gives up through the property tax abatement. The Lecompton Township checks in at $3.53 for every $1; the state of Kansas $3.44; and the Lecompton Fire District $4.22.

The f inancial analysis, though, does assume that the project will create or “retain” 379 jobs. That’s a different number from what has previously been used. The project is expected to add 11 new jobs to Berry’s area work force. In addition, more than 200 employees at Berry’s existing Lawrence production plant are expected to be relocated to the new warehouse.

Weinaug said the figure of 379 jobs was used because the warehouse project plays a key role in Berry’s ability to increase the number of work-

WE CAN HELP!

ers in the Lawrence production plant. Weinaug said there is an expectation that as the warehouse use is removed from the production plant that more space will become available for additional production jobs.

Lawrence’s production plant, which has about 950 employees, has been growing as the company has rolled out a new line of environmentally friendly drink cups.

Weinaug said that if the new warehouse project isn’t completed, Berry’s Lawrence facility likely would start losing out on growth opportunities.

“If they are unable to build the warehouse here, I don’t think they would start laying people off or moving out of town, but I think it would be a sign that they’ve peaked here and they wouldn’t be growing in the future,” Weinaug said.

Day care sex assault trial wraps up today

Wounded Giffords moves arms, legs Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is opening both eyes, moving both legs and arms and is responding to friends and family.

Her doctors call it a “major milestone” in her recovery.

“We’re hoping that she crosses through many more,” said her neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Lemole.

Her remarkable recovery five days after being shot through the head has provided a much-needed dose of jubilation after a tragic week that left the nation in mourning.

Giffords and 18 others were shot Saturday when a gunman opened fire at a meet-and-greet she was hosting outside a supermarket in her own hometown. Six people died.

Thousands gather for girl’s funeral The casket for Christina Taylor Green seemed too small to hold the grief and despair of the 2,000 mourners who packed into a church Thursday to say goodbye to the 9-year-old girl whose life began and ended with two soul-searching moments for the country.

Reminders of the innocence of the bubbly girl born Sept. 11, 2001, were everywhere: A group of little girls dressed in frilly dresses and white tights craned to see as their friend’s casket rolled into the church and Christina’s best friend sneaked them a wave from her place in the processional line.

Outside the church, more little girls — and hundreds of other people — wearing white and waving American flags lined both sides of the street for more than a quarter-mile to show their support.

Hundreds of motorcycle riders from all over stood guard and more than a dozen residents were dressed as angels.

Before the service, Christina’s family and closest friends gathered under the enormous American flag recovered from Ground Zero and paused for a moment of silence, holding hands and crying. Whitegloved state troopers escorted family and dignitaries into the church as a choir sang hymns.

“She would want to say to us today, ‘Enjoy life,”’ said Bishop Gerald Kicanas, who presided over the funeral. “She would want to say to us today, ’God has loved me so much. He has put his hand on me and prepared a place for me.”’

Seniors may face new Medicare charge Medicare recipients could see a sizable new outof-pocket charge for home health visits if Congress follows through on a recommendation issued Thursday by its own advisory panel.

Until now, home health visits from nurses and other providers have been free of charge to patients.

But the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission says a copayment is needed to discourage overuse of a service whose cost to taxpayers is nearing $20 billion a year amid concerns that fraudsters are also taking advantage.

The panel did not prescribe an amount, but its staff has suggested the charge be $150 for a series of related visits. Medicare requires copays for many other services, so home health has been the exception, not the rule.

U.S. Sen. Hutchison plans to retire U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a moderate Republican who has easily kept her Texas seat for nearly two decades even as the state grew more conservative, announced Thursday she would retire next year at the end of her term.

Hutchison, a former television reporter and University of Texas cheerleader, said in a letter to supporters that she would not seek re-election in 2012.

She made similar statements when toying with whether to return to Texas to run for governor, but Gov. Rick Perry’s surprisingly decisive victory against her in last year’s GOP primary ended her state office ambitions, at least for now.

The senator, now 67 with two young adopted daughters, said the last two years have been difficult on her family. But last year, she said she had to stay in the Senate to fight the health care bill that ultimately became law rather than resign and focus on her gubernatorial ambitions.

Jayhawks team up with Cottonwood workers

ONLINE: Watch the video at LJWorld.com

Kansas University women’s basketball players Krysten Boogaard and Angel Goodrich competed in a different way than they were used to Thursday.

The two went head-to-head in a competition to put together a store display box for Chinet cups while visiting Cottonwood Inc., 2801 W. 31st St., with the rest of the team.

Despite getting home from a victory at Colorado at 3 a.m., the team called on the workers at the organization, which provides job and living services for people with developmental disabilities.

After a short tour, the players sat down with the workers to help them complete their jobs, which included packing bags of information for a conference in Orlando, Fla., packing goodie bags of toys for par-

ties at a pizza restaurant, and the company’s main contract: assembling cargo straps for the military.

Sophomore Monica Engelman sat next to Deb Sebbert and helped her pack bags full of toys while they talked about the team.

“I know it’s special to us, but it means a lot to them too,” Engelman said.

In another room, senior Marisha Brown helped bag cargo straps next to Renae Johnson, who has worked at Cottonwood for more than 20 years. Johnson said she sometimes gets to go to the women’s games when she’s not at Cottonwood or at her other job rolling silverware at On the Border, 3080 Iowa.

“I knew some of them before,” Brown said about the people working around her.

“Some of them did a Special Olympics clinic with us.”

Peggy Wallert, director of community relations at Cottonwood, said each contract

was divided into separate jobs, making it easier for people to find something they liked doing.

The part they enjoyed most Thursday was the tour, and the players were greeted on each portion to cheers of “Rock Chalk Jayhawk” and workers clapping along to “I’m a Jayhawk.”

Trena Anderson, director of basketball operations, knew it would be good for the team to tour the facility and visit with workers after last year’s visit fell through because of a blizzard.

“It’s good for them to meet some of the consumers who support them,” she said. “It’s good for them to give back and get involved and know sometimes life isn’t as easy as it is for them.”

According to testimony, the girl told her mother the man molested her during nap time at the day care. The girl, who had started attending the day care earlier in the summer, was eventually examined at a hospital, and investigators began looking into the case.

After a Journal-World request for information, KU provided a list of its 15 programs that have averaged 10 or fewer bachelor’s degrees awarded a year over the past five years.

The list includes some bedrocks of a traditional liberal arts curriculum — such as classics — and a few other programs, such as physics, dance and Slavic languages and literatures.

Lawrence’s commercial real estate market weathered the storm better than expected in 2010, according to new numbers released Thursday by one of the city’s largest brokerage firms.

“I believe we’ve begun to turn the corner,” said Kelvin Heck, a broker with the Lawrence office of Colliers International. “But it has been and continues to be a very, very wide turn.”

The retail Colliers vacancy rate International dropped to 5.4 percent, down from 6.3 percent a year earlier.

Lawrence’s rate was lower than the national average of about 7 percent and also less than the Kansas City average of about 10 percent.

Heck said a new Discovery Furniture store that went into the former Food-4-Less grocery store on South Iowa Street had the biggest impact on Lawrence’s vacancy rate. About 12,000 square feet of vacant space in front of the Best Buy store at 31st and Iowa streets also was leased in the last year.

Colliers off icials, though, stopped short of predicting major improvements in retail in 2011. A “modest increase” in the vacancy rate actually may occur this year. Heck said although Lowe’s had shown some interest in the city, if that deal does not re-emerge he’s not sure the city will see much activity in the way of big-box retail.

“The big retailers seem to have pulled in their plans a bit, I believe,” Heck said.

Former head of KU Athletics ticket office pleads guilty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

in illegal proceeds from the sale of tickets, and already has forfeited a 2008 Toyota Camry she’d purchased with cash received as part of the scheme.

Liebsch’s sentencing is set for March 30.

With federal agents looking on from the gallery, Liebsch also promised to cooperate with prosecutors in their investigation and prosecution of others said to be involved in the crimes. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to recommend a reduced sentence.

Rodney Jones, a former assistant athletics director in charge of KU’s Williams Educational Fund, also is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and is scheduled to plead guilty at 10:30 a.m.

Friday, also before Brown in U.S. District Court in Wichita.

Others charged are Charlette Blubaugh, who preceded Liebsch as leader of the ticket office; Blubaugh’s husband, Thomas Blubaugh, who served as a paid consultant to the athletics department; and Ben Kirtland, who had been Jones’ boss as associate athletics director for development.

The Blubaughs and Kirtland are scheduled to stand trial beginning Feb. 15, although Kirtland is seeking a delay to give his attorney at least 30 additional days to review evidence: nine boxes of documents provided by KU, plus disks containing 12,000 pages of e-mails involving Kirtland and another 50,000 e-mails involving other alleged co-conspirators.

“Counsel would suggest that the charges in this case are unusual, if not novel,” attorney Robin Fowler wrote, in his request for a delay.

Brown has not yet ruled on Kirtland’s latest request — he had rejected an earlier one on procedural grounds — but the judge did acknowledge Thursday that the case against Liebsch involved an oddity: While Liebsch arrived at the hearing facing up to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, such a sentence would presume that the case had

involved a financial institution.

“KU is not a financial institution,” he told attorneys, ruling that the maximum sentence therefore would be reduced to 20 years in prison.

Richard Hathaway, assistant U.S. attorney, noted that other portions of the case involved having KANSAS ticket broUNIVERSITY kers write checks to cash at out-of-state banks so that the money could be “given to intermediaries to give back to conspirators in Kansas.”

Earlier in the hearing, Brown had acknowledged the complicated nature of the conspiracy, instructing Hathaway to describe the facts of the case slowly and deliberately.

“It’s quite a caper,” Brown said.

Specif ically, Hathaway said: ● Liebsch graduated from KU in 2005, and was hired by Charlette Blubaugh as a systems analyst in the ticket office, with responsibilities to serve as a liaison between the ticket office and about 10 development officers, including Jones and Kirtland. ● Liebsch received requests for tickets from Jones and Kirtland, and originally sought permission from Charlette Blubaugh before filling them — until Charlette Blubaugh told her that a group of tickets had been “separated” for the pair and that Liebsch should “never tell Rodney and Ben ‘no’ regarding a request for tickets.” ● In 2005, Liebsch began receiving cash from Jones, and received instructions from him how to convert cash into money orders in amounts that would allow for avoidance of currency reporting requirements. ● Liebsch joined the conspiracy, knowing that tickets were being taken for sale to third parties, in violation of university policies; accepting cash from such sales; and engaging in a phone conversation with Charlette Blubaugh, Kirtland and oth-

ers that included Charlette Blubaugh discussing plans to manipulate the department’s computer system before responding to requests from law enforcement regarding ticket assignments.

While the ticket scheme is said to have started in 2005, its existence became exposed early last year. Jones had been placed on administrative leave, Charlette Blubaugh had resigned to take another job in Oklahoma, and federal agents had been asking questions within the athletics department. KU announced in March that it was conducting its own investigation, while federal authorities were pursuing their own.

KU’s internal report, released in May, would identify Jones, the Blubaughs, Kirtland and Jones as conspirators. Two other former department employees — Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries — also were named in the KU report, a document that included f inancial details about more than 20,000 tickets for regularseason football and basketball games that had been improperly diverted for conspirators’ personal gain.

Liebsch had been cited in the report as having helped expose the scheme. Only later, when news of the federal indictments was released Nov. 18, did Liebsch resign from Kansas Athletics.

Simmons and Jeffries already have pleaded guilty in federal court to failing to notify authorities about the scheme, and now are cooperating with prosecutors and awaiting sentencing.

As the scandal unfolded, Lew Perkins announced in June that he would resign as athletics director at the end of the 2010-11 school year. By September, however, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little had accepted Perkins’ departure “effective immediately,” a full year ahead of schedule.

In the plea agreement, Liebsch said she and her codefendant misled Perkins into believing there was a computer system in place to prevent tickets from being stolen, converted or taken by fraud.

see anything improper. The girl had started to outgrow her naps, Windholz said, so she had separated her from other children to avoid waking them up.

“I had to make sure to stay with her because she did not like it that the television was going to have to come off, and she was going to go to sleep,” Windholz said.

McGowan had rested the prosecution’s case earlier

Thursday.

The state’s final witness, Alan Mattox, a biologist with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, testified Thursday morning that he could not exclude the defendant’s DNA taken from a sample on the girl’s underwear.

But defense attorney Branden Bell on cross-examination asked Mattox about past errors in the national database he used to build the DNA profile. Mattox had said past errors were corrected in

the database and that those errors had nothing to do with the testing he performed in this case.

“If they’re going to use this as evidence, they should be able to tell the jury whether this information is correct or not,” Bell said during an argument over objections made to District Judge Sally Pokorny.

of other benefits to the university and the state.

And five of the 15 — college special studies, European studies, humanities, engineering physics and Russian, East European and Eurasian studies — draw on existing faculty from multiple disciplines and don’t cost the university anything extra to operate.

College special studies, for example, isn’t really a program in and of itself, but allows students to create a specialized major with approval from the university.

When looking to make changes to how a program is structured, Anderson said, the college has a process that includes self-studies and input from peer universities as well as administrative reviews.

“We’re always asking where do we need to be five to 10 years from now,” Anderson said. “If you had called 20

years ago, you may have been asking, ‘Why does KU want to continue offering Chinese or Arabic?’ And those languages are very important today.”

Physics, for example, is one of the foundation sciences taught at a university, Anderson said, and it shows how a department can house several different degree programs. The department at KU is called physics and astronomy, and it houses three of the listed small degree programs: physics, astronomy and engineering physics.

KU off icials said that many of the programs are technical and aren’t intended for everyone, but even the small number of graduates provide the state with skilled, trained workers that fill a need.

Some programs on the list, such as petroleum engineering, are experiencing a rebound from low enrollments, said Russell Oster-

Brownback’s budget slices school funding, restructures state agencies CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Democrats blasted Brownback’s plan. In a joint statement Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, and House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said, “The budget proposal he presented today will force school boards all across Kansas to close schools, lay off teachers and increase class sizes.”

Brownback’s policy director Landon Fulmer delivered the proposed spending plan to legislators. “The fact of the matter is, we just don’t have the money,” Fulmer told the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Fulmer introduced legislation to carry out the cuts.

The Legislature will now work on the budget recommendations.

The state faces an estimated $550 million revenue shortfall, primarily because of expiring federal stimulus funds, much of which have been used to prop up school funding.

But with those federal dollars disappearing next year, Brownback has decided not to replace them with state funds.

He has proposed cutting base state aid from $4,012 per student to $3,780 per student, a drop of $232 per student or 5.8 percent.

If approved by the Legislature, base state aid would be at its lowest level since 19992000.

“That’s going to translate into a lot of teachers losing their jobs,” said Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood.

Although base state aid will decrease, total state funding for school districts

Lawmakers answer public’s questions at forum

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

There may have been only a handful of area residents who attended the legislative forum on Kansas University’s West Campus Thursday evening, but that didn’t change the nature of the discussion.

The event at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Dr., had state legislators address various issues for the new session including education funding, sales tax, abortion and renewable energy.

State leaders, including Sens. Marci Francisco and Tom Holland and Reps. Barbara Ballard, Paul Davis, TerriLois Gregory, Ann Mah and Tom Sloan, fielded questions from the audience and addressed announcements made earlier by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Lawrence resident Bruce Eggers was one of the few in attendance.

“I was just hoping to get a little insight,” Eggers said. “I don’t know what the new governor’s got in mind, so I wanted a little clarity on that.”

Toni Dudley, a member of the American Association of University Women, said the annual forum was a valuable source of information for the community.

“People just need to be aware,” she said.

Ballard said the number of people who attended wasn’t as important as the message.

“They need to know, as a legislator, we care enough to be here to try to answer their questions,” she said. “It’s a chance to educate them about some of the things they may not really know about. And it really is enjoyable.”

“

There’s no doubt in my mind if these proposed reductions actually occur, our public education system in Kansas will be of lesser quality.”

—State Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood will increase $129 million, Brownback’s administration said.

But that figure includes funding to cover obligations for retirement, special education and debt payments on capital projects.

School finance experts say the base state aid figure is the one that shows true spending in the classroom because that is the money that goes to teachers’ salaries.

“There’s no doubt in my mind if these proposed reductions actually occur, our public education system in Kansas will be of lesser quality,” Vratil said.

In the Lawrence school district, officials said the system would have to cut from between $1.2 million and $1.9 million from the budget in the current school year, and an additional $2.5 million next year. That is on top of cuts of $7 million over the last two years.

“The cuts are deep,” Superintendent Rick Doll said. He said they will result in fewer teachers and larger classroom sizes.

Brownback’s budget would also cut the Early Childhood Head Start Program by $3. 5 million and grants to community mental health centers by $10 million.

It would also cut the state’s

DFM@< >L@;<

Public Broadcasting grant of $1.6 million.

The budget includes a $5 million appropriation to the Kansas University Medical Center for cancer research, but requires a $5 million match from KU. The budget also proposes eliminating 2,000 unfilled positions and several agency eliminations and reorganizations.

Some of the budget recommendations include: ● Eliminating state funding of the Kansas Arts Commission. ● Consolidating the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC) into the Kansas Department of Commerce. ● Merging the Kansas Health Policy Authority into the Division of Health of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. ● Abolishing the Kansas Parole Board and transferring those duties to the Department of Corrections. ● Merging the Animal Health Department, State Conservation Commission and Agriculture Marketing Program into the Department of Agriculture. ● Moving the Travel and Tourism Program out of the Department of Commerce and into the Department of Wildlife and Parks. ● Abolishing Kansas Inc., an economic development agency. ● Shutting down the state hospital for developmentally disabled Kansans by 2014.

The Kansas Neurological Institute is located in Topeka.

Higher ed officials thankful for no more proposed cuts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — After budgets cuts totaling $100 million over the past two years, higher education officials Thursday said they were glad Gov. Sam Brownback didn’t propose cutting any more.

“After recent and severe budget cuts, and a continued trend of state disinvestment in higher education, we’re pleased the governor is advocating no reductions to the system’s base budget,” said Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer.

But Sherrer noted Brownback’s state budget recommendation released Thursday has a lot of moving parts for higher education and said the regents would continue to analyze the details.

Brownback has proposed funding through the Kansas Department of Commerce an initiative that includes $5 million for cancer research at Kansas University Medical Center, $5 million for animal

health research at Kansas State, and $5 million for aviation research at Wichita State.

BOARD OF But these REGENTS funds would have to be matched by the same amounts by the universities.

The proposal also provides $1 million in economic development funds to the regents to administer the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research program.

The program is currently administered by the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp., but Brownback has recommended merging KTEC into the Department of Commerce.

The proposed budget fails

to fund $10 million for deferred maintenance at campuses statewide that was part of 2007 legislation.

And it eliminates 367 unfilled positions at state universities. The proposal also cuts state funding to the regents office by $203,000.

Earlier, the regents had recommended a $50 million increase for higher education, but Brownback had indicated that was not possible because of the state’s budget problems.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has reached a settlement with a Lawrence man and other executives of an Olathebased company amid accusations they failed to disclose more than $1.18 million in perks given to a former CEO. Harry Herington, 50, of Lawrence, current CEO of NIC Inc., which manages government websites, has agreed as part of the settlement to pay a $200,000 penalty after the SEC alleged that as chief operating officer Herington was informed of problems with former CEO Jeffrey Fraser’s expense reporting and “failed to adequately address them,” according to the complaint in the case.

The complaint alleges that NIC’s public filing did not

disclose perks that Fraser, his girlfriend and family received from 2002 to 2007. Fraser’s alleged perks outlined in the complaint included more than $4,000 a month to live in a Wyoming ski lodge, costs to commute by private aircraft from Wyoming to Olathe, and monthly cash payments for purported rent on a Kansas house “owned by an entity Fraser set up and controlled.”

“We have determined that it is in the best interests of the company to settle this matter so that we can continue to concentrate our full attention and energy on the bright future we see for NIC,” Herington said in a statement released by the company, which Forbes magazine has twice named one of the nation’s 100 best small companies.

Also as part of the settlement, according to the SEC, the company will pay

hearts of our children to be dreamers and achievers,” Winn said.

Elementary and junior high school students participated in a wide variety of projects, ranging from making blankets to collecting cans of food to creating necklaces for a sale. Students from Langston Hughes School spoke of collecting 50 pounds of pop tabs, while Central Junior High School students had logged more than 1,100 hours of community service.

Martin Williams, Lawrence High School senior, spoke about his membership in a group called “Can We Talk?”, which gives students an outlet for their problems and helps them reach a higher level of achievement in school and life.

“It’s important that we still acknowledge everything that’s happened and where we come from,” Williams said.

Four Free State students took a class called Interpersonal Skills, which brought together students who might never have met each other before. The group expanded the program to West to empower the younger students to branch out and build new relationships earlier.

“We got the opportunity to expand people’s views,” said senior Victoria Gilman. “We all ran in different social circles before Interpersonal Skills, but we found we have commonalties.”

Higher commodity prices may spur inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Rising wholesale prices for food and energy are putting pressure on manufacturers and retailers to pass higher costs to customers. It’s a trend that could raise inflation in the United States and slow economies in Asia and Latin America.

U.S. gas prices have topped $3 a gallon, and grain prices have reached a 2 1/2-year high. Some lawmakers say the increases illustrate the need for tighter limits on speculation in commodities markets.

Airlines, clothing manufacturers and some grocery stores have already raised retail prices. And even those companies that have resisted increases because they worry that customers can’t afford them may be more reluctant to hire because of the squeeze.

Some economists expect prices to rise faster this year than last, although not fast enough to cause policy changes at the Federal Reserve, which has the power to raise interest rates to keep inflation in check.

And though the higher prices could be a drag on consumer spending, they shouldn’t derail the overall econo-

my, economists say.

The price of corn, soybeans, wheat and other grains has shot up since last summer as bad weather has hammered harvests in Russia, Australia and Argentina. That raises the cost of feeding livestock, and in turn raises prices for beef and poultry.

Oil prices, currently at about $92 a barrel, are rising because of strong demand from fast-growing developing countries.

Wholesale prices rose 1.1 percent in December, the Labor Department said Thursday, the biggest increase in 11 months. Higher energy and food costs drove the increase. So-called core prices, which exclude those volatile categories, rose just 0.2 percent.

But the report can’t be dismissed just because most of the increase came in food and energy prices, said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.

“These are not products which you can do without very easily,” he said.

Last year, Americans spent about 8 percent of their money on energy, which includes natural gas, electricity, gasoline and motor oil. They spent about 13 percent on food.

Students share community service efforts to honor MLK

The Lawrence school district came together with a common dream Thursday night at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Event.

Students from each grade school, junior high and high school went before a crowd of hundreds in Free State High’s auditorium to speak about the community service projects they’d completed or still had scheduled to honor King’s legacy. The West Junior High School Chorale and Cordley School Choir also performed at the event.

Organizations benefiting from the projects included Lawrence Humane Society, The Salvation Army, ECKAN food pantry and Willow Domestic Violence Center.

Downtown pressures City officials are right to move slowly on proposals for large developments in Lawrence’s downtown.

I

t’s good to see some creative and ambitious plans being formulated for downtown Lawrence, but city commissioners are right to be cautious about moving forward on plans that would drastically change the face of downtown business and parking facilities.

City commissioners had a number of questions this week for developers proposing two large projects on the east side of Vermont Street and ordered the developers to get feedback from neighboring business owners before the city discussed the plans further.

The larger of the projects would gobble up the municipal parking lot in the 800 block of Vermont, which currently serves Massachusetts Street businesses in that block as well as businesses and the newly remodeled Carnegie Library building across the street. The developer envisions a five-story building that would include either 48 or 86 apartments along with office space.

One of the carrots being dangled by the developer is his hope to attract a grocery store to a 15,000-square-foot space near Ninth and Vermont. Having a grocery store to serve the increasing residential development in downtown is a great idea, but it’s anything but a done deal. If the plan moves forward, city commissioners should consider making it contingent on securing a grocery store tenant.

The plan includes multi-story parking facilities that would have at least 159 public spaces (the same as the current lot) along with about 200 spaces reserved for offices and other users. That’s a lot of parking, but it may not be enough to serve the increased demand created by the development. It also may not be the kind of parking that best serves the retail stores that depend on the current lot. These lots were built to benefit the businesses on Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire streets, and city commissioners must carefully consider the precedent of allowing such a development on a city-owned parking lot.

The second, smaller proposal is for a former office supply store in the 1000 block of Vermont. The attractive plan calls for a building that would house about 70 employees but provides no additional parking facilities. Developers say they will need at least 50 parking spaces in the public parking lot just north of the project and want the city to allow people with long-term parking permits to park there.

Committing 50 spaces in a lot that has only has 61 spaces would significantly impact the availability of parking in that block.

Again, it’s good to see that developers want to bring their projects to Lawrence’s restricted downtown footprint. Bringing more jobs and more residential units downtown will help support the businesses in that area and keep Lawrence’s downtown active and interesting. However, new developments also will place additional pressures on parking and other city services. City commissioners need to be careful about what projects they approve and how they will change downtown — for better and for worse.

Why didn’t someone intervene earlier?

WASHINGTON — Did our angry political culture help motivate Jared Lee Loughner on what authorities say was his mad shooting spree? Maybe, but a more troubling question for me is why nobody stopped this often incoherent, irrational young man on his long path to the rampage in Tucson.

I don’t just mean the people who sold Loughner his Glock 19 semiautomatic pistol last November, or the people at a Walmart who allegedly sold him ammunition a few hours before the assault. I mean the community in which he lived. This was a young man who showed signs of mental illness, yet in our culture, people couldn’t or wouldn’t stop him — even when they knew his behavior was bizarre.

We leave people alone in America, to a fault. We walk past rambling, dazed homeless people every day, if we live in big cities, avoiding their gaze rather than seeking to intervene. And even when we try to stop people whose behavior seems to pose a danger to themselves or others, it’s hard to do anything about it, as Loughner’s professors at Pima Community College discovered.

Look at the moon-faced grin of the alleged shooter as he appeared in court for arraignment Monday. It’s a haunting photo, not least because we have seen faces like that before — peo-

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

The Loughner case is “telling in that it shows how hard it is to do something about an unstable person, even if you try.”

ple who are severely disturbed but on the streets in this era of “de-institutionalization.”

Here’s what I walked past this morning before sitting down to write this column. Outside my subway stop were two shopping carts, bearing what appeared to be the worldly possessions of two homeless people. They had fled on this bitterly cold day, but a distracted young woman was walking aimlessly nearby with a thin jacket, shivering. At a transit point, a ragged man with no teeth staggered out of the car. On another train, a woman talked incessantly to herself, as if in a trance. Nobody intervened. She didn’t look suspicious; just crazy.

If you’ve ever worked in a homeless shelter, you know that a substantial number of the residents have mental health issues, often combined with drug and alcohol problems. They might once have been in state asylums, out of sight and mostly out of mind. Those were nightmare places, and the de-institutionalization movement that put them on the streets was right, on balance. But the idea was to fund halfway houses and treatment, not just let people wander.

The Loughner case is telling in that it shows how hard it is to do something about an unstable person, even if you try. Pima Community College said that Loughner last year “had five contacts with PCC police for classroom and library disruptions.”

Yet as Timothy Noah noted in Slate, he wasn’t suspended until Sept. 29, after he denounced the college as “a scam” and his teachers as “illiterate.”

Students and teachers knew that Loughner was potentially dangerous. His algebra teacher, Ben McGahee, told The Washington Post that when he complained about Loughner’s disruptions, “They just said, ‘Well, he hasn’t taken any action to hurt anyone.

He hasn’t provoked anybody. He hasn’t brought any weapons to class.’” Loughner “scares me a bit,” wrote one of the students in an e-mail quoted by the Post.

“Until he does something bad, you can’t do anything about him,” she wrote in a later message. “Needless to say, I sit by the door.”

“His thoughts were unrelated to anything in our world,” said his philosophy professor, Kent Slinker, in an interview with Slate’s Christopher Beam. He was, Slinker said, “someone whose brains were scrambled.” And yet he kept on rolling toward the Safeway parking lot, buying his gun, buying his ammo, leaving behind crazy YouTube videos that were advertisements of his madness.

The Tucson shootings have prompted a national debate about the decline of civility in America. That’s good, but we should expand the definition. A civil society isn’t just about less screaming on cable TV. It also has an ethic of community, so that people try, as best they can, to look out for one another.

There’s a coarsening, uncivil effect when we watch homeless people ranting and mumbling, freezing in the cold — and cross the street, assuming that it’s somebody else’s business. It takes something out of us, individually and as a country.

Like most of the problems that matter, Jared Loughner didn’t sneak up on us and catch us by surprise. We saw him coming and didn’t do anything about it.

The fate of the old Watkins Bank building at Eleventh and MassYEARS achusetts, which AGO recently had been IN 1971 vacated by the City Hall staff when they had moved to Ninth and Massachusetts, was looking more favorable. It was possible that the building would be preserved as a memorial to the late Elizabeth Watkins.

Violence decried

deep sense of grief for the victims of the shooting in Tucson, Ariz. We abhor the use of violence, violent language which has its deadly consequences and violent behavior used to achieve political goals and ends. This is most certainly true of the Tucson massacre.

On the heels of a peaceful change of leadership in Washington these savage and senseless murders shake our hope in our political system. The brutal reprisals in the Georgia prison strike constitutes another form of senseless violence which we abhor. Violence against our elected officials as well as against peaceful protesters strikes at the heart of our belief in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We denounce violence as a civic tool or a political statement.

Boehner do-over To the editor: Time for a do-over. What a great way to start a legislative session: by reading the U.S. Constitution to all members of the legislature.

However, it came off as symbolic rather than substantive.

Speaker Boehner should tell all members that the reading of the Constitution is so important that their attendance for the entire reading is required. Speaker Boehner should tell the members of the “people’s house” that the reading is so important that every member, himself included, will listen to the entire reading and that the reading will include the original text and all amendments.

Speaker Boehner should be

Fighting poverty

ply symbolic and that the rest of the legislative session is based on symbolism rather than substance.

Speaker Boehner, it’s your call.

Please, please take advantage of a do-over.

GPS not needed To the editor: This letter is in response to a recent article in the Journal-World (Dec. 28) indicating the city of Lawrence was going to spend $50,000-plus putting GPS’s (global positioning systems) on various city vehicles. This includes trash trucks, numerous maintenance vehicles and various other cityowned cars and trucks. The monitoring was going to be overseen by a company out of state. (Gee, where’s “local” Rueschoff’s?)

What in the wild, wild world of city government is going on at Sixth and Mass? If my trash is not picked up, it’s probably my fault. The sanitation workers I’ve met on my route are on time and very courteous.

They are doing their jobs and don’t need “ankle bracelets.” If the trash isn’t picked up, I’ll call. If I see a major pothole, I’d call.

Where are the supervisors? Don’t we pay people to know where their employees are? Let’s put a GPS system on Dave Corliss and see what he does all day. We all know what he does; he does his job or he wouldn’t be there. Mike Amyx is cutting hair and “listening;” he doesn’t need one.

Do your job. We don’t need “Big Brother.” GPS equals “government punishing society.”

Dennis Barritt, Lawrence

Kansas children living in poverty, seemingly a worthy goal for all.

But the reality appears different. The Kansas Legislature introduced legislation, on the same day the governor took office, to repeal in-state tuition for children of undocumented workers who have graduated from Kansas high schools. Strike One. The Dream Act, which would allow high school graduates of undocumented workers to remain in the United States and apply for permanent residency, was recently defeated in Congress. Now they face being deported to a country most have never lived in or forced to work for less money than they could earn with their degree.

Strike Two. Steve Anderson, the new budget director for the state of Kansas, endorses higher tuition at state colleges and universities, ridiculously saying, “There is evidence it is the more affluent citizens who are more likely to have children enrolled in higher education.” The higher the cost of college, the more difficult it will be for many to earn a college degree. Strike Three.

With the state facing serious budget problems, a more educated work force results in an increased tax base due to higher wages. One worthy goal by the governor is to fight poverty for Kansas children. Various groups throughout the state are aligned to fight against the governor’s goal.

Is the governor truly committed or is it political lip service? I fear the latter. Peace.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 14, 1911: YEARS “The ‘Mail Man,’ AGO as people call him, is IN 1911 known in the Post Office as a City Carrier as distinguished from a Rural Carrier. He works 49 hours a week, doing the light days’ work as quickly as possible and using the time saved in completing his routes on heavy days. On the business street they make four deliveries and six collections a day. In the residence portions, two deliveries and two collections a day. Two of the carriers are mounted, being the most efficient way of delivering scattered territory. Foot carriers service is now only established where there are good walks and the houses are properly numbered and boxes placed where easily reached.”

KU BASKETBALL

Engleman truly was KU great

Memory lane

No Kansas University student athlete ever met Phog Allen’s ultimate standard for excellence better than Howard Engleman, the multi-faceted former basketball All-American who died Wednesday at age 91.

Allen, the Jayhawk coaching immortal, often was asked to name his top players. His answer always was that he preferred to wait 15 or 20 years to find out what level of outstanding citizenry someone had reached. Then Allen would point out that there were so many from his stable thoroughbreds that there could be no final choice.

As for Engleman, Phog was always quick to declare that Howard was “among the very finest I’ve coached.” Quite a tribute considering the first official basketball game Howard saw in his native Arkansas City was one he played in.

In addition to earning AllAmerica honors as a 1940-41 senior, Engleman was KU’s ’41 scholastic honor man of the year. He was badly wounded while serving in the Navy in World War II. He later starred in AAU basketball despite his wounds, and earned a law degree while coaching the Jayhawk freshmen and, for a while, the varsity. From there he became one of the most devotRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo ed alumni supporters in KU hisFORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL COACH TED OWENS WAS ON HAND for the inductions in the Booth Hall of Fame on Sept. 25, 2010.

Auburn QB Newton to enter NFL Draft MONTGOMERY , A LA . (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton will skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft after leading Auburn to a national championship and drawing nearly as much attention for a pay-for-play scandal as for his dynamic performances.

Auburn released a statement Thursday night announcing the quarterback’s decision following his lone year as a major-college starter. Newton led the Tigers to their first national title since 1957 and a 14-0 season with a 22-19 victory over Oregon on Monday night.

“This decision was difficult for me and my family,” Newton said, adding that he made it after talking to coach Gene Chizik and offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.

“It’s been a blessing for me to be a part of something so great,” he said.

“Any time you win games it’s a big deal, but for this school to win a BCS national championship, what a way to make people happy. Auburn is a special place that I can call home.”

The former backup to Tim Tebow at Florida arrived after leading Blinn College in Texas to a junior college national championship and won on a much bigger stage with the Tigers.

The national champions are waiting on Lombardi Award-winning defensive tackle Nick Fairley to announce his NFL decision today in his hometown of Mobile. Fairley might be the No. 1 overall pick, but the 6-foot-6, 250-pound Newton is the guy that Chizik called “probably the best football player I’ve ever seen” after the Southeastern Conference championship game.

COMMENTARY

Broncos coach ‘proven’

By David Ramsey The Colorado Springs (Colo.) Gazette

Say hello to the anti-Josh.

Two years ago, the Denver Broncos took the risky route and hired a 32-yearold named Josh McDaniels, who was all about youthful possibility. We all know how that one turned out. It wasn’t the worst head-coach hire in NFL history, but it was close.

Thursday, the Broncos took the safe route and hired 55-year-old John Fox, a gray-headed NFL journeyman. This is a wise, if not overwhelming, first move by team guru John Elway as he seeks to rescue the Broncos from the humiliations of the McDaniels era.

“He’s a dynamic and proven leader,” Elway said via Twitter. Notice the key word in Elway’s description. That word is “proven.”

Yes, Fox was fired New Year’s Eve by the Carolina Panthers after a 2-14 finish that was, against all odds, even worse than the Broncos’ campaign. But he directed the Carolina Panthers to two NFC title games and one Super Bowl during nine seasons, and he finished 12-4 as recently as 2008.

He’s not the mega-celebrity — Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden — many fans hoped for, but he owns the skills to revive the Broncos. And we all know how much the Broncos need reviving. Fox walks in the door at the lowest point in Broncos history.

Still, there’s hope. I was talking with Colorado Springs resident Forrest Gregg last month about the state of the Broncos.

Gregg won six NFL titles as an offensive lineman for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, and Vince Lombardi called him the best player he ever coached.

Gregg understands what it takes to win in the NFL, and he believes the Broncos can return to the top, or at least near the top. He said Colorado fans and owner Pat Bowlen expect to win and expectations are crucial to lifting a team. In many NFL destinations, Gregg said, the fans and the owner hope to win, but don’t truly expect excellence.

So, the expectations are there. Now, the task of restoring life to a ravaged roster begins.

You can expect Fox to install an aggressive defense, which emphasizes hassling the passer. Patience will be required as Fox places his stamp on the Broncos’ defense, which surrendered 462 points in 2010, including 59 to the ever-mangy Oakland Raiders.

You can expect Fox to wisely handle clashes with players and assistant coaches. He’s been around a long time, and he won’t hit the eject button whenever someone disagrees with him.

This is in stark contrast to McDaniels, who banished quarterback Jay Cutler, running back Peyton Hillis and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan during his brief reign. McDaniels was not prepared for the complex responsibilities of directing an entire team.

Fox is prepared. He’s a mature leader who expertly summarized himself as he prepared for his interview with Elway.

“It’s not my first rodeo,” he said.

Fox is not about possibility. He’s already taken a team to the Super Bowl. He lifted a franchise from the bottom to near the top of the NFL. This is a coach who has proven himself.

Unlike that last guy.

TODAY

Ex-KU aide Fox hired as Broncos’ coach ENGLEWOOD, COLO. — John Fox turned around a floundering franchise before. The Denver Broncos are counting on him to do it again.

Fox was picked over four other candidates to replace Josh McDaniels, who was fired Dec. 6 amid the Broncos’ worst slide in four decades and the embarrassing Spygate II videotaping scandal.

The lost season led to a restructuring of the front office and the return of Hall of Famer John Elway as chief football executive. On Thursday, Elway hired Fox, the 55-year-old former Carolina Panthers coach to a four-year contract.

Fox “For what this building needed, John Fox was the perfect fit for us,” Elway said outside team headquarters before zipping off in his Bentley on Thursday evening.

Fox went 78-74 including playoffs in nine seasons with the Panthers, who didn’t renew his contract following an NFL-worst 2-14 season.

Fox was a Kansas University assistant coach under Mike Gottfried in 1983. He served as the defensive-backs coach at KU and helped lead the Jayhawks to a 4-6-1 record that included victories over No. 10 USC and No. 19 Missouri.

NFL St. Louis OC to coach Browns CLEVELAND — Pat Shurmur quickly turned rookie quarterback Sam Bradford into a rising NFL star. Shurmur’s next project will be tougher.

The Cleveland Browns are no easy fix.

Shurmur, St. Louis’ offensive coordinator the past two years, was hired by the Browns on Thursday, ending a search for their fifth coach since 1999 that began when team president Mike Holmgren fired Eric Mangini on Shurmur Jan. 3 after his second straight 11-loss season.

Shurmur isn’t a big-name hire, and his addition won’t trigger a celebration by Browns fans or a rush of season-ticket requests.

Jets CB Coleman injures knee FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets are hoping they aren’t down a defensive back against the New England Patriots.

Backup cornerback Drew Coleman, the team’s nickel back and a key special-teams player, injured a knee late in practice Thursday, and his status for the playoff game Sunday at Foxborough was uncertain.

Wide receiver-kick returner Brad Smith (groin) was limited and his status is also uncertain.

Lawrence Taylor pleads guilty NEW CITY, N.Y. — Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty Thursday to sexual misconduct and patronizing a 16-yearold prostitute, misdemeanor charges that carry no jail time but require him to register as a sex offender.

The 51-year-old ex-linebacker, who led the New York Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991, will serve six years’ probation.

“She told me she was 19,” Taylor, standing with his hands clasped behind him, said in court as he admitted having intercourse with the prostitute, who turned out to be a Bronx runaway. Taylor said he now knows the girl was 16 and legally incapable of consent.

He said he paid her $300.

BASEBALL Frank Robinson hospitalized PARADISE VALLEY, ARIZ. — Hall of Famer Frank Robinson was hospitalized Thursday because of a rapid heartbeat and dizziness, and later returned to a hotel to meet with baseball executives.

The 75-year-old Robinson said doctors at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital told him he was “a little dry, not dehydrated, but a little dry.”

Otherwise, he said, they could find no reason that his heart rate jumped to 190. The typical rate for a healthy man is 60 to 80.

Yanks reach deal with Soriano NEW YORK — A person familiar with the negotiations tells the Associated Press that the New York Yankees have reached a three-year agreement with AL saves leader Rafael Soriano.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal has not been finalized. Soriano must still pass a physical to complete the contract, which could be worth $35 million.

Gregg, Orioles finalize $10M deal BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have finalized o a $10 million, two-year contract with right-handed reliever Kevin Gregg.

NBA Blazers G Roy to have surgery PORTLAND, ORE. — Portland Trail Blazers star Brandon Roy will have arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees next week.

The team says there is no timetable for the All-Star guard’s return.

Roy has missed 16 games this season because of soreness in his knees, which he has said is caused by a lack of cartilage.

NCAA Early-grant offers squashed SAN ANTONIO — The NCAA squashed a proposal Thursday that would have stopped college coaches from offering scholarships to students as young as middle-schoolers, one of several closely watched measures that were either defeated or set aside by NCAA rule-makers.

The legislative council also voted down tougher academic restrictions for incoming basketball players at the NCAA’s annual convention. Another proposal intended to tighten the use of college athletes in promotional activities was sent back to NCAA members for more comment.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Ex-Longhorn headed to SMU DALLAS — Former Texas basketball player Shawn Williams is transferring to SMU. The Dallas native left the Longhorns just before the season started in November. He played in seven of Texas’ first eight games as a freshman in 2009 before injuring an ankle.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

QB Luck sets good example During my time as president of West Virginia University, our quarterback was a young man named Oliver Luck.

Oliver was more than just a promising athlete for the Mountaineers. He represented what college athletics was supposed to be about: spirited, fair competition, and opportunity through graduation. He spent four years as the leader of our football team, and I was proud to see him leave Morgantown with a diploma.

Knowing Oliver, I can’t say I was as shocked as the rest of the football world when his son, Andrew, recently said no to being the potential first pick in the National Football League draft and no to a multimillion dollar contract.

Both of these rewards were almost guaranteed after Andrew Luck led Stanford to a 12-1 record this season and played brilliantly in a win over Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. He also finished second in this year’s Heisman Trophy race to Cam Newton, the multitalented quarterback from Auburn University, and most people would have understood if he decided to enter the draft.

But Andrew wanted to return to campus in California and complete his degree in architectural design. And he wanted to complete his college career with the young men he respected most.

“Andrew does what he thinks is right,” Oliver told me. “There is a lot of loyalty in him.”

Gene Budig True to his low-key nature, Andrew issued a one-sentence statement. “I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012,” he said. No more, no less.

With just a few words Andrew made a powerful statement, one that caught the universal eye of college football and the NFL. It is a statement that is all too rare these days, when Division I basketball teams rent freshmen for a semester and many prominent collegiate athletes are more concerned about where they will be next taking their talents, rather than how well they will do on their next biology test.

Like his son, Oliver Luck let his actions do most of the talking for him at West Virginia, where he was an academic All-American and a Rhodes Scholar finalist.

“There is always room for achievement in the classroom and on the playing field,” he said to the Rhodes Committee that I chaired.

After his graduation, Oliver played four seasons for the

Houston Oilers, and once his playing days were over he earned a law degree with honors from the University of Texas.

Oliver went on to become the athletic director at WVU, where he works to attract front-line athletes who want to win, to pay the academic price and to graduate. He wants them to focus on what it means to be a student-athlete and the value therein.

Oliver always wanted a career in sports management and administration and he was determined to be ready when his opportunity arose. Since his retirement from the NFL, Oliver has lived his dream, serving as CEO of the Houston Sports Authority and president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamo before returning to West Virginia.

Despite his surname, Oliver Luck’s success was not accidental. It was due to good choices and hard work.

Now it appears that these qualities, central to the Luck persona, have rubbed off on his famous son. And that’s a good thing — for Andrew, for college football and for every student-athlete who will one day face a similar choice.

— Gene A. Budig is a distinguished professor at the College Board in New York and a former chancellor or college president at Kansas University, Illinois State University and West Virginia University. He also served as president of the American League from 1994 to 2000.

With his superb intellect, Engleman was noted as a “thinking man’s basketball player.”

“Howard was supremely alert,” said the late Dick Harp, a teammate on the 1940 NCAA title team. “He was always thinking about the next play, and what might happen after that. He was as outstanding as any player I ever knew.” Harp later was head coach at Kansas, and Engleman was a staunch backer.

Engleman was never one to consider himself the stalwart others did and admitted he fell short on the court in some activities. “I wasn’t too good on defense and Phog and the others had to hide me now and then. I didn’t play as much at others in the big 1940 games because of my defense. I didn’t work as hard on it as I should have and deserved my time on the bench.”

Yet it was his shot that defeated Southern Cal in the national semifinals and propelled KU to the championship game, which Indiana won. Engleman was always

quick to credit Bobby Allen, Phog’s son and Engleman’s KU teammate, with the pinpoint passes that helped him score as much as he did.

He often reflected on how “out of it” some athletes were in his heyday because there was no television coverage. “We had no idea Indiana was as good as it was and how they could fastbreak. They had great players running out their ears and began running with the ball. We got a little lazy (and lost by 18 points),” he recalled. “Indiana threw long passes and fast-broke us to death. We had no way of

knowing how good they really were.”

Howard Engleman was the last living starter from that 1940 NCAA roster. The other four were John Kline, Dick Harp, Bobby Allen and Ralph Miller, who all became highly accomplished in their own right.

Phog Allen was always quick to include them all in his pantheon of great athletescitizens whom he considered All-Americans in the strictest sense. They and Howard Engleman left high standards for the Jayhawks in the past 70 years or so to approximate at least if not exceed.

family with which he grew up.

They’re all gone now. Ted and wife Michelle, who live in Tulsa, have four children of their own.

“I have such great blessings,” Owens said. “I have such a great family and my extended family, my players.”

A 1971 Final Four Reunion Several of those players will join Owens in Allen Fieldhouse, where his 1971 Final Four team will be honored at halftime of Saturday’s 1 p.m. tipoff against Nebraska.

After four seasons as an assistant to Dick Harp, Owens coached Kansas from 1964 to 1983 and reached Final Fours in 1971 and 1974. Though none of his players were consensus first-team All-Americans, five did earn first-team All-American honors: Walt Wesley, Jo Jo White, Dave Robisch, Bud Stallworth and Darnell Valentine.

His best player?

“I never answer that question,” said Owens, forever sensitive to others’ feelings. “I’d just as soon seven of them think they were my best player.”

Owens, 81, will create one more basketball memory in a massive mental library full of them that he’ll carry with him for the rest of his years.

Competing Against Legends Through the decades, Owens played against, coached against and befriended so many of the game’s biggest names. He’s the Forrest Gump of basketball and is always happy to share his impressions of the sport’s giants.

He played against Phog Allen-coached teams and years later golfed with him.

He played against Henry Iba’s team when the school was called Oklahoma A&M and coached against Iba when it was Oklahoma State.

“While a lot of people didn’t agree with his style of offense and so forth, all of us agreed on one thing: He did a great job of teaching what he believed in, patience, movement,” Owens said. “My first year as head coach here his team only shot the ball 13 times in the second half and hit 12. When there

was no shot clock, they would drive you nuts, move and move and move, and pretty soon, they played on your lack of patience.”

Once, Owens said, Bill Bridges told him that his man cut to the hoop 17 times during one possession.

“He played rock-solid defense, support defense,” Owens said of Iba. “He just played a disciplined game, and his players bought into that.

I’m not sure today, as much as players like to shoot and shoot quick, how that would work.”

Owens coached against Kentucky legend Adolph Rupp, who didn’t put as high a premium on defense as did Iba. Gale Catlett left Kansas and Owens to work for Rupp at Kentucky.

“Gale told me there were spots on the court where he knew their shots would come from, and Rupp would drill those for 30 minutes, drill offensive patterns for 30 minutes and then scrimmage for 30 minutes,” Owens said.

“They never spent any time on defense.”

Once, Catlett told Owens, Rupp turned to him at the end of practice and said, “All right, talk to them about defense.

You come from Kansas where they play good defense.”

Bob Knight, A Friendly Foe At Kansas, Owens coached against Joe Lapchick of St. John’s, Nat Holman of City College of New York, North Carolina’s Dean Smith and Indiana’s Bob Knight. Owens was the coach on the opposing bench when Michael Jordan played his first college game for North Carolina.

Of Knight, Owens said, “If he’s your enemy, he’s the worst enemy you can have. If he’s your friend, he’s the best friend you can have. I like Bob. He’s a good friend.”

Owens admires Knight’s insatiable hunger for knowledge.

“The f irst thing coach Knight did every morning when he was at West Point was pick up the phone, call another coach and pick his brain,” Owens said.

Team will be recognized at halftime Kansas University’s 1971 Final Four team will be honored at halftime of Saturday’s game against Nebraska in Allen Fieldhouse.

Coach Ted Owens’ Jayhawks went 27-3 overall and a perfect 14-0 in the Big Eight Conference. KU beat Houston and Drake in the NCAA Midwest Regional games in Wichita, then lost to UCLA in the Final Four semifinals in Houston.

Dave Robisch was the

squad’s leading scorer at 19.2 points per game. Bud Stallworth averaged 16.9 ppg, Roger Brown 11.2 ppg and Pierre Russell 10.3 ppg. Other members of the team: Randy Canfield, Greg Douglas, Jerry House, Bob Kivisto, Neal Mask, Mark Mathews, Aubrey Nash and Mark Williams. Assistant coaches were Gale Catlett and Sam Miranda. Trainer was Dean Nesmith. Manager was Kim Blocher.

Teddy, is head basketball coach at Lincoln Christian High in Tulsa. When he wants his players to run the shuffle, he hollers, “Drake.”

Once a ball coach, always a ball coach, Teddy’s dad lends advice.

“One day I told him, ‘Teddy, to fit your personnel better, here’s a little variation that I’ve been piddling with that I think will be really helpful to you.’ I’m really thinking I hit a home run here,” Ted said. “So he looked at it and he said, ‘That’s good, dad. Tim Bart runs that over at Bartlesville High School.’ I thought I had come up with a great variation.”

Owens is fond of KU’s Bill Self as a person and coach.

They have shared time talking basketball and golfing.

“I suppose the thing I like about him is he’s such a complete package,” Owens said.

“He communicates well with everybody. He’s genuine. He likes people. He remembers his roots. Intensely loyal to his people who work for him.

Great recruiter. Excellent teacher. But I guess the thing I like best about him is he can’t keep it in the fairway. He does hit it a long way, though.”

Both men are Oklahoma natives and both served as head coach at Oral Roberts University, Self early on his path to his dream job, Owens for two seasons in the wake of losing his. After Oral Roberts, Owens coached brief stints Father Thinks He Knows with the Fresno Flames of a Best short-lived professional Ted and Michelle’s son, league that did not allow playgreased the skids for coaching greatness, Owens believes.

“He, first of all, played for a good coach, Fred Taylor at Ohio State,” Owens said.

“Then he went back to New York and became friends with Clair Bee, one of the first great Eastern coaches. The only way you can learn is to admit that you don’t know everything. A lot of us have a tough time admitting that, sometimes out of insecurity. Bob knew he didn’t know it all. And he didn’t neglect older coaches. A lot of young coaches think, ‘Hey, he isn’t in the modern world.’ So they don’t talk to you much about strategy.”

Owens recalled beating Knight just once, in a game played in Madison Square Garden.

“He called me two days later and said, ‘We like your sideline break. We want to know more about your sideline break.’ Here’s a guy who had already won a couple of national championships,” Owens marveled. “He never stopped learning.”

Basketball, to hear Owens tell it, can mirror fashion in that looks go in and out of style, and what’s considered new often actually is old.

His college coach, Bruce Drake, ran an offense known as the Drake Shuffle. Years later, Auburn coach Joel Eaves ran the same offense, according to Owens, and it became known as the Auburn shuffle.

ers taller than 6-foot-5 and with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the most prominent professional basketball team in Israel.

Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks played for Owens with the Flames, and they remain friends.

“Coach certainly has been a great supporting piece for me,” Self said of Owens. “We talk a lot, not specific X’s and O’s, more general philosophy.

He knows the game, and even more than that, he knows people. He reads people well, and it amazes me how much he appreciates practice, how much he appreciates the simple things.”

No Place Like Kansas Most of all, Owens appreciates Kansas basketball. His first exposure came as an opponent with Oklahoma.

“We’d catch a train to Lawrence and stay at the old Eldridge Hotel,” Owens recalled. “We didn’t look at the campus or anything. We’d go from the train station to the Eldridge, to old Hoch Auditorium, back to the Eldridge, and then back to the train station and out.”

After serving in the Korean War, Owens played for Ada Oil, KU alumnus Bud Adams’ team in the old national industrial basketball league. Then, after finishing his master’s degree at OU, Owens worked at Cameron Junior College, where he taught history, was an assistant football coach and the head basketball and baseball coach. His high school teammate, Monte Moore (voice of the Kansas City/Oakland A’s from 1962 to 1980), called KU games on the radio.

When Jerry Waugh left KU basketball coach Dick Harp’s staff in 1960 to go into business, Moore recommended Owens.

“Coach Harp’s wife, Mar(tha) Sue, took us on a tour of the campus and it was just gorgeous,” Owens said.

“Is there any more beautiful scene than being in the stadium and looking up at the campus and the Campanile?”

Harp and athletic director Dutch Lonborg interviewed Owens, offered the job and he accepted.

Recruiting rules weren’t as

restrictive when he coached at Kansas as now and it was no problem enlisting the help of big-name alumni to woo recruits.

“Gale Sayers owned Chicago at the time,” Owens said. “If you would take a prospect and his family out to dinner in Chicago with Gale with you, you would have a great chance to get him. Everybody came over to our table and would want Gale’s autograph.

And then Gale would take us over to his place and show us the six touchdowns he scored against the 49ers. It was fun recruiting in Chicago.”

Recruiting took Owens to small gyms in big cities, where he watched tall players.

“I went back to New York and Power Memorial was playing in this dinky, little old gym and here’s this big guy, 7foot Lew Alcindor, and the other team held the ball,” Owens said. “It was like an 1810 game or something like that, but I saw enough that we gladly would have taken him.”

Getting to know Phog Allen ranked as another highlight of Owens’ Kansas years.

“We were playing at Lawrence Country Club and I hit a bad shot,” Owens said, his welcoming smile beginning to form at the memory. “I stuck my club about two inches into the ground and Doc just said, ‘At certain levels of skill, you should not expect a perfect shot every time.’ So I’ve never stuck my club in the ground since.”

Owens still finds it difficult to talk about the day his time as Kansas coach came to an end. Still, he throws no stones, claims no injustices.

“We’d had two really down years, but we had a great group of young players coming on,” Owens said. “I thought we’d turn it around and so forth, but you know, we had a couple of years there that were far below Kansas standards. They decided to make a change. After 23 years here, it was extremely painful.

I absolutely loved it here, and I still do.”

The smart money says the ovation the old ball coach receives at halftime will let him know the feeling’s mutual.

Pritchard nearly won it for the Lions in the second overtime, scoring six straight points to put them ahead, 5958, but North was able to tie the game from the line and deny LHS a clean look at the basket on the other end.

No sweat. Lewis gathered the players in the short intermission and asked them to dig deep.

Showing little fatigue from the 40 minutes of play behind them, the Lions rose to Lewis’ challenge.

Pritchard started the period with an aggressive driving layup, and Buffalomeat drilled a three-pointer from the right corner to give the Lions — who allowed only two points in the final four minute overtime — the distance needed to pull away with the win.

“The made shots fuel your fire,” Lewis said. “The made shots are the ones that when you’re that tired and have been playing for that long give you that extra energy.”

The game seemed destined for a last-second finish from the start, as neither team could gain much separation in what was a meticulously paced matchup.

LHS (3-5) trailed 25-21 at the half but shot 50 percent in the period (9-for-18).

“That was our game plan,” Lewis said, “was to come in and slow things down a notch, and then just compete and not leave anything behind.”

Lewis was pleased with how the Lions — who also received five points and two loud blocks from sophomore Brad Strauss — spread the ball out, defended and competed throughout the night.

And, of course, missed chances aside, the end result wasn’t too bad, either.

“I never really thought that we would give in,” Lewis said.

“If anything, it just shows that we have some character and competitiveness in us, (which) is maybe a sign of good things to come.”

The Lions have another tough road test at 7 tonight at Olathe South.

Despite two wins from freshman Alison Lusk and senior Iuliia Kuzhil, Kansas University’s swimming and diving team lost to No. 18 Arkansas, 170130, Thursday at Robinson Natatorium.

The Jayhawks fell to 5-5 in dual competition, while the Razorbacks moved to 7-2.

Lusk, a freshman from Chattanooga, Tenn., won both the 100-yard breaststroke (1:05.13) and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.27).

Kuzhil, a senior from Cherkasy, Ukraine, won the 100-yard backstroke (55.78) and the 200-yard backstroke (2:00.50).

“We were pleased with how we did,” Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. “We are kind of all over the map with training camp and coming off of last week. We had some really good things and some not-sogood things, but that’s just how it gets during training camp. It’s always good to have a Top-20 team like Arkansas come in here, and I think we competed well. Now, we’ve got to just be done with today and get ready for Nebraska on Saturday.”

letters 46 Summary

Marriage unlikely to be saved without counseling Leaving your wife without attempting counseling is selfserving. Bottling up your feelings does not allow her to respond to or understand the depth of your unhappiness.

We cannot promise counseling will help her change her ways, but it will help you feel you have done all you can to save your marriage. We assume that is what you want to do.

Dear Jim: No. The only rule is, you don’t get to hog both armrests. And sometimes, unfortunately, it means you won’t get either one, which is why you have a lap.

Dear Annie: At a movie theater, is there a rule for which being pushed away and veg- armrest belongs to you? — Jim ging in front of the TV. I in Omaha believe it is time to man up and move on, but I am afraid to be alone and don’t want to damage my kids or end up seeing them once a week.

Should I continue to bottle up my feelings and keep my family together, or should we call it quits? I am not interested in therapy. I don’t want to share my hurt feelings with a stranger. — No More Frustrations, Please

Dear No More Frustration: You are sharing them with us, so we’ll try to give you some advice. There is nothing stopping you from enjoying activities without your wife — many couples have separate interests. But you seem to think life is passing you by, so the need for excitement has taken on an urgency.

Can red carpets cure winter blues?

Christmas trees have been composted, and the awards season descends. Doesn’t that sound like a January haiku? Santa’s red suit has given way to no end of red carpets, continuing tonight with the 16th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards (8 p.m., VH1).

Who are these critics? And who will they reward? The night’s honors will reflect the choices of the Broadcast Critics Association, representing some 250 television, radio and online critics.

The ballet drama “The Black Swan” leads the pack with 12 nominations, including one for Best Picture. As with the Oscars, a total of 10 movies vie for that award. Look for a few different categories, including Best Young Actor/Actress and Best Ensemble Cast.

But things don’t get as silly as the MTV movie awards with categories like “Best Kiss.”

For the record, last years Critic’s Choice Awards anticipated eventual Oscar winners in every major category, deviating only slightly in the case of Best Actress when they split the difference and awarded both eventual Oscar winner Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”) and Meryl Streep (for “Julie & Julia”). ● Two nights from now, Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globe Awards on NBC. Tonight, fans of the writer-turnedactor-comic will have to settle for his twodimensional form in the cartoon comedy “The Ricky Gervais Show” (8 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., HBO).

Clearly inspired by the mid-century animation of “The Flintstones” variety, “Show” offers a cartoon visualization of the podcasts recorded by Gervais, his writing partner Stephen Merchant (“The Office”) and sidekick and comic foil Karl Pilkington. Much of the humor involves Gervais and Merchant’s blisteringly brutal reactions to Pilkington’s peculiar takes on bizarre subjects. ● Viewers who can’t get enough 49thstate scenery don’t have to wait until a new “Gold Rush: Alaska” (9 p.m., Discovery) begins. “Flying Wild Alaska” (8 p.m., Discovery) precedes that popular cable series. As the title suggests, it follows intrepid pilots who help residents traverse the vast state by air, often at considerable risk. The 10-episode series “stars” the eccentric flying Twetos family, who brave blizzards and mountainous terrain to ferry passengers to remote locations near the Bering Sea that have never seen a highway.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A ruthless meteorologist (Nicole Kidman) arranges a hit on her husband in the 1995 drama “To Die For” (6:45 p.m., IFC), directed by Gus Van Sant. ● Allison is enlisted in a missing persons case on “Medium” (7 p.m., CBS). ● On two episodes of “Kitchen Nightmares” (Fox), a step back in time (7 p.m.), a marriage ended and a restaurant on the brink (8 p.m.). ● A bumbling teen (Michael Cera) strikes a number of artistic poses in the 2010 comedy “Youth in Revolt” (7 p.m., The Movie Channel). ● A club promoter’s murder inspires a trip to Barcelona on “CSI:NY” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Death by clown is no laughing matter on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

Dear Annie: I have been married to my high school sweetheart for more than 20 years, and in that time we have become homebodies.

Every year since we tied the knot, the passion has gradually declined, and lately it’s about dead.

I am beginning to see life slip away without having done anything exciting. I happily gave up many interests for my wife, but I have recently regained my enjoyment of thrilling adventures, even if it means doing so alone. I’d like her to join me, and my enthusiasm has put pressure on our relationship because my wife refuses to explore all that life has to offer. I love her and believe she loves me, but I don’t believe we are “in love” anymore. The sparks are gone, and we barely talk.

I am miserable and have been for decades, but the wonderful times I spend with our children keep me going. A man needs to feel a woman’s affection. A good friend convinced me that infidelity was not the answer, but she also said that I am cheating myself and teaching my children that marriage doesn’t include conversation, hugging or love.

She also said I am being unfair to my wife by staying in an unfulfilling marriage.

I am tired of spending what little time we have together

Roundup Thunder 125, Magic 124 O K L A H O M A C I T Y — Kevin Durant scored 36 points, Russell Westbrook added 32 in his fourth career triple-double, and the Thunder fought off Orlando on Thursday night for their fourth straight victory.

Westbrook also had 13 assists and 10 rebounds in Oklahoma City’s highestscoring game of the season.

It was the second straight game the Thunder set a season high for points in regulation, and this time they even surpassed their output in a triple-overtime win against New Jersey.

Dwight Howard led Orlando with 39 points and 18 rebounds, and J.J. Redick made four three-pointers and scored 18 points while leading a failed fourth-quarter comeback.

The Magic, who had been surging following those blockbuster trades that overhauled the roster, lost their second straight after a ninegame winning streak.

Timberwolves 109, Wizards 97 MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love had 35 points and 11 rebounds, and Darko Milicic had 14 points and 11 rebounds to keep Washington winless on the road.

John Wall had 14 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who fell to 0-19 on the road.

They are the only team in the NBA that has yet to win away from home this season.

The Timberwolves trailed by four with 5:46 to play, but closed the game with a 19-1 surge to snap a five-game losing streak. Love scored eight points during the run, making up for the absence of Michael Beasley, who was out with a sprained left ankle.

One game after scoring 43 points in a win over Sacramento on Tuesday, Wizards guard Nick Young was held to 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting.

Corey Brewer had 14 points and four steals, and Luke Ridnour added 16 points and nine assists for the Timberwolves, who have made it a habit of letting leads slip away in the fourth quarter this season.

The Associated Press

Nuggets 130, Heat 102 D E N V E R — Reserve J.R. Smith scored 28 points, and Carmelo Anthony added 21, leading Denver to a victory over a Miami team missing LeBron James.

Nene contributed 17 points, and Chauncey Billups had 13 assists as the Nuggets routed a second straight opponent. They beat Phoenix by 34 points two nights ago.

Chris Bosh scored 24 points, and Dwyane Wade added 16 for Miami, which lost two in a row for the first time since dropping three straight in late November.

James sat out after spraining his left ankle the night before in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game that James was “feeling a little better.” He will likely try to play Saturday in Chicago.

With one part of their Big Three missing from the court, the Heat simply weren’t the same squad.

Along with James went leadership and a 25.4-point scoring average.

The Nuggets led by 32 points in the third quarter and cruised from there.
