Jayhawks take on Longhorns today

Tuesday are set to rename the stretch of 11th Street that runs along the north of edge of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium in honor of Fambrough, who died in September.

And what intersection would that create? You guessed it, the intersection of Fambrough Drive and Missouri Street.

As in, meet me at Fambrough and Missouri, and when we get there we’ll cuss, talk about Quantrill, call the Tigers a bunch of cheaters, and, for good measure, cuss a little more.

Thus far, the idea seems to have good support.

“It is perfect because hundreds of his former players and thousands of his fans will line both sides of that street on a lot

Pat Hubbell, pharmacist and coowner of Sigler Pharmacy, recommends four products to his clients to help ward off colds, although he admits there’s plenty of debate about whether any of them truly help shorten or lessen a cold. They are:

Vitamin C, 500 milligrams twice a day. “It’s just tried-andtrue.”

Zinc lozenges. “The idea behind the lozenge is that it will help reduce the replication of the virus in the throat area, thus decreasing the length of cold.”

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday unveiled a list of 51 state measures that he says are unreasonable to keep on the books.

But one of those escaping the ax of the Office of Repealer is the state law that makes gay sex a crime even though the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that laws that criminalizing gay and lesbian relationships violates the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

T h o m a s Witt, chairman of the Kansas Equality Co- Brownback alition, which advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, pushed for repeal of the law and said he was angered by Brownback’s decision.

“There is nothing more unreasonable than Sam Brownback’s preserving an unconstitutional law that’s used by government officials to harass gay and lesbian Kansans,” Witt said.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that being gay or lesbian is not a crime, and Brownback’s announcement today is an act of gross disrespect to the Constitution, and to the thousands of gay and lesbian Kansans singled out by this unjust law,” he said.

When taking office in 2011, Brownback created the Office of Repealer to get rid of laws that were unreasonable, unduly Please see REPEALER , page 2A

Opposition builds ‘across spectrum’ to Brownback’s tax plan Reports indicate proposal would increase taxes for many while reducing taxes for businesses and wealthier Kansans

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax plan was on the ropes Friday after reports and studies showed it would increase taxes for many Kansans while cutting taxes for businesses and the wealthy.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said he doubted the plan by Brownback, a Republican, could pass either the House or Senate even though the GOP has huge majorities in both chambers.

“There is opposition all across the political spectrum for a lot of different reasons,” Davis said.

House Republican leaders praised Brownback for producing a plan, but on Friday offered one of their own.

In a statement, House GOP leaders said they wanted a comprehensive plan that increased jobs “while not increasing the tax burden on lower-income Kansans.”

In a news conference, Brownback defended his proposal, which he unveiled nine days ago. But Brownback added that he was “open to suggestions.” He maintained that tax rates must be cut to spur economic development.

Brownback’s proposal would lower state income tax rates and cut taxes for nearly 200,000 businesses.

But many Kansans would see an increase in their overall taxes because his plan would also do away with tax credits and deductions, and it would make permanent the temporary 6.3 percent state sales tax that was scheduled to decrease to 5.7 percent next year.

A study by the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy said that “80 percent of the state’s income distribution would collectively see a tax hike under the Brownback plan” because of the loss of credits, deductions and keeping the higher sales tax rate.

Figures provided by the Kansas Department of Revenue showed that as a group,

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka has called Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, left, and Sen. Anthony Brownback’s Hensley, D-Topeka, center, oppose Brownback’s tax plan “Robin plan, with Hensley calling it “Robin Hood in reverse.” Hood in reHouse Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, right, said verse.”

Republicans had found a “prudent” approach.

burdensome, duplicative, onerous or in conflict.

Secretary of Administration Dennis Taylor conducted 26 meetings in 24 cities and received 506 suggestions, including the recommendation from the Kansas Equality Commission.

Asked why the law banning gay sex wasn’t recommended for repeal, Taylor said he did not want to comment on why individual laws didn’t make the cut. He said those that didn’t will continue to be reviewed for possible repeal in the future.

The state law dealing with gay sex was essentially nullified by a 2003 Supreme Court decision, and some legislators have argued there is no reason to remove the Kansas law from the books because the statute isn’t being enforced.

When the court ruled, then-Attorney General Phill Kline issued a statement, saying, “The decision announced

by the Supreme Court of the United States today renders Kansas adult homosexual sodomy law unenforceable and unconstitutional. Accordingly, we are providing notice to counties and district attorneys and other law enforcement officials of the nature of the Supreme Court decision and its effect on this little-used Kansas law.”

But Witt has argued there is a danger in having the law remain on the books because unscrupulous authorities could use it to harass gays. He pointed to a 2008 news story in Garden City that quoted a law official there saying that homosexuality is a crime in Kansas.

Of the 51 statutes that will now go to various legislative committees for possible repeal, many are outdated or superseded by federal law, Taylor said.

One on the list would repeal a law from the early 1900s that outlines a process to reinstate a sheriff who is fired for allowing a person in custody to be lynched.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

City to mull parking recommendation City commissioners will consider prohibiting onstreet parking on the north side of 12th Street in the area just west of Indiana Street.

BACKGROUND The city’s Traffic Safety Commission voted 5-3 to recommend the request for no parking after hearing from the fire chief and others who expressed concern about the ability fire trucks and other large vehicles have to get through the area. But the commission also heard from several long-time residents of the neighborhood that the on-street parking was important to the area.

Carter said changing the name of a city street would be a way to honor Fambrough for more than just his on-field accomplishments at KU. “You know, Fam was fired twice by the university as a coach, but neither time did he leave this place,” Carter said. “He loved Lawrence, and he was as much an ambassador to Lawrence as he was the university.”

streets to be renamed. By limiting the length, the city can ensure that no existing mailing addresses will need to be changed because of the new name.

Several years ago, supporters had tried to get a portion of Missouri Street renamed after Fambrough, but that idea drew concern from neighbors who did not want their addresses changed.

One other street in the area also will be changed to honor the coach. Kansas University is proceeding with plans to rename the private street on the west side of Memorial Stadium to Fambrough Way. Jim Marchiony with Kansas University Athletics said tentative plans are for the university and the city to host a joint celebration at KU’s spring football game in April to unveil both new street names.

Carter said he has heard She said, “The body is self healing and it’s better if you don’t grab cold medicines but try to use natural things to help support your body while it heals itself.”

Among her recommendations:

Rest. “If you feel a cold coming on, take the day off, and you can kick it early.

What happens if you don’t take the one day off, you end up taking more because the cold worsens.”

Stay off sugar and dairy because they suppress the immune system like smoking and coffee.

Bundle up, so the body can use its energy helping to heal instead of keeping warm.

“That’s a message my grandmother always told me, but it’s kind of gotten lost in today’s culture,” she said. “I see people who are out and about and they’ve got a cold and they are hardly wrapped up.”

such as the home mortgage, charitable contribution, food sales tax rebate, and especially the Earned Income Tax Credit, which goes to help working low-income families.

Brownback said taking the EITC funds and plowing them into Medicaid would provide a greater benefit for poor people. But he conceded he didn’t plan to use the funds to increase the number of people eligible for Medicaid, only to reduce waiting lists for in-home services for Kansans with disabilities.

Meanwhile, House Republican leaders outlined a plan that would keep the tax deductions, except the EITC, and allow the state sales tax to decrease as scheduled. Like Brownback’s plan, it would exempt 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other small firms from having to pay income taxes on their business earnings.

The plan would limit state spending growth to no more than two percent annually.

Revenues collected above that amount would be used to reduce state income taxes.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, said the proposal represented comprehensive tax reform and a responsible budget.

sume garlic because they are known to build the immune system. She suggests cooking garlic and using it in soups.

Duggan said it’s helped her to think of a cold as a friend and not as an enemy, something she learned by reading “Food and Healing.”

“Don’t view a cold as a threat or something bad but as more of a loving friend that’s coming to warn us or set the imbalance in the body right,” she said.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital clinical pharmacist Becky Rutledge said there’s nothing revolutionary that’s going to help.

— Kansas Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley proach,” he said.

But Democrats assailed it, saying the 2 percent cap on spending would mean funding needs for social services and schools, which have been cut in recent years, would go unmet.

And they said they didn’t understand why Republicans are adamant about eliminating the EITC. “That is a tax credit that really helps low income, especially single mothers. It rewards work,” Hensley said.

Democrats said the Republicans are missing the mark on their tax plans.

“Kansas doesn’t have an income tax problem. It has a property tax problem,” said Hensley.

According to the Tax Foundation, Kansas was the 41st worst in property taxes while its income tax ranked 21st.

The Democratic plan would use a portion of higher than projected state revenues and allocate $45 million to local governments to reduce property taxes.

House speaker dislikes redistricting plan remain in its eastern Kansas district.

The proposal to redraw the lines of the 1st District of western and central Kansas far enough east to take in the Manhattan area came this week from Senate Reapportionment Committee Chairman Tim Owens, an Overland Park Republican. The plan for adjusting the district, which needs a larger population, has strong support from Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat.

from only a handful of people who have expressed concern about the idea of changing the city street name. He said most were concerned that addresses would have to be changed, although some said it could be setting a bad precedent or could create problems with GPS readings.

But Carter said the short nature of the street should limit practical problems, and he said he’s not concerned about setting a bad precedent. If anything, he said, the city ought to look for ways to honor other people who have played an important role in the city, although he said it might be easier to do on new streets because of the address issue.

A Kansas Court of Appeals panel has ordered that Robert Grey, a 38-year-old Lawrence man, should get a new trial for his conviction in the 1997 rape of a Kansas University student.

The three-judge panel found:

The state failed to give Grey’s attorney additions made to an expert’s previously disclosed report.

The state did not notify District Judge Peggy Kittel or the defense that the victim could idenCOURTS tify Grey as her rapist after earlier representing she could not.

Prosecutor Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, made a comment in her closing argument not supported by evidence.

She said Grey knew the color of the alleged victim’s boyfriend’s car, but Grey actually testified he did not know.

“Considering all of these actions together, we hold such misconduct to be gross and flagrant, and it deprived Grey of a fair trial,” Judge Stephen D. Hill wrote in the court’s opinion.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Taxpayers deserve better performance from higher ed system

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The Kansas Board of Regents system is not working and, consequently, Kansas taxpayers are not getting as big a bang for their tax dollars as they should expect — and demand.

Last year, $715,345,007 from the state’s general fund was appropriated for the universities, community colleges and vocational-technical schools under the regents’ umbrella. The nine-member board is the governing body of the six state universities, as well as a statewide coordinating board for one municipal university, 19 community colleges and six vo-tech schools. The total dollar figure for the regents schools, including, tuition, federal and other support funds, was $2,424,424,382.

That does not include private fiscal support to the schools.

There is no way on God’s green

earth for those serving as regents to know what is happening on the many campuses they are supposed to oversee, govern and coordinate.

At some time in the past, the system may have worked, or at least worked better than it does today, but the state and its taxpayers deserve far better.

The cost of running these schools is huge, and KU takes the biggest single bite out of this taxpayer pie.

If the regents’ level of oversight and positive involvement relative to KU’s recent operation is an accurate reflection of their governance of the other 31 schools under their tent, there is much room for improvement.

The biggest problem is that the regents do not know what is happening on the campuses. These are nine unpaid individuals appointed by the governor. Most of them have other jobs and responsibilities.

They enjoy the notoriety, they like to be recognized, they like being invited to sit in the chancellor’s or presidents’ boxes at athletic events, and they like the many favors they receive — BUT they really don’t like to hear about troubles. They seldom pursue troubling or bad

COMMENTARY situations. They really are a “pass through” body in that they hear or are told about problems but then pass the information along to a chancellor or president and expect that person to take the appropriate action.

It’s not working.

Look what happened at KU in recent years — and these are only the situations that have become public.

Consider what has been covered up with the hope that somehow bad or embarrassing matters will disappear or magically go away.

Consider the long and wellknown mess in the KU athletics department. There certainly were sufficient unhappiness, anger and questions about the ticket situation for years and nothing was done.

The mess in the KU School of Business didn’t become known until a small group of MBA students had the courage to go public about the mismanagement of approximately $32 million in student fee money.

Look at the KU School of Medicine situation in which the chancellor, executive vice chancellor and dean did not comply with a policy calling for periodic performance reviews of the dean. Morale at the school has been bad and continues to be bad; the performance review

of the executive vice chancellor and dean was “shockingly bad” — and there are other problems.

Did the regents know anything about theses “messes” at KU? Is there reason to believe there could be other similar messes at Kansas State University, Wichita State, Emporia, Fort Hays and Pittsburg?

The fact is — and this has been acknowledged by those who should know — “chancellors and presidents can and do pull the wool over the eyes of regents.”

Another truth is that regents have known about serious situations and did nothing or expected someone else to do something.

A case in point involved the closing years of KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway’s leadership. Although there was no way the regents could not have been aware of the impact Please see COLUMN, page 6A

Take care of animals in the cold: Despite a furry coat, domesticated animals are no longer suited to withstand prolonged exposure to cold weather. As a general guideline, please remember that if the air temperature is below freezing, pets should be brought indoors. If a heated home area is not available, at the very least access to a warm garage or shed with dry bedding and out of the wind is a must.

WATER IS ESSENTIAL! Never rely on snow or ice for your animal’s drinking needs; they are not adequate. Cold weather creates very dry air, so please provide fresh water as you would during the summer. A heated bowl may be needed. And don’t forget about your animals’ feet. Check them for salt residue, cuts and snow packed between toes. It’s best to buy de-icers labeled safe for pets.

the ruling said new information that wasn’t disclosed from a scientist’s examination of the sexual assault kit was prejudicial. It influenced Grey’s defense that he had consensual sex with the alleged victim the night before, the opinion said.

A Douglas County jury at the 2009 trial convicted Grey of the rape of the 20-year-old female KU student after prosecutors accused Grey of kidnapping her in her car at gunpoint from the Naismith Hall parking lot on a night in May 1997, driving her to a secluded area near the old tennis courts at Lawrence High School and raping her.

The case went cold. Grey was not arrested and charged until 10 years later after investigators used an FBI database to link a fingerprint from the car to Grey. Police

also obtained Grey’s DNA to use as evidence.

Grey is at the El Dorado Correctional Facility serving a 26-year prison sentence, but now the appellate court says he should receive a new trial.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said prosecutors would either retry the case or ask the Kansas Supreme Court to review the appellate opinion.

“Although we agree there were errors at trial, we believe the trial court’s decision that the errors were harmless was appropriate,” Branson said. “I am confident Mr. Grey will ultimately serve his sentence for his crime.”

Hill and judges Karen Arnold-Burger and Steve Leben issued Friday’s opinion. Lydia Krebs, of the Kansas Appellate Defender Office, represented Grey in the appeal.

BRIEFLY WASHINGTON, D.C.

Monument gets $7.5M for quake repairs Despite a billionaire history buff’s pledge of $7.5 million to speed up repairs on the Washington Monument, officials say the complex work could last until August 2013 — two years after the landmark was damaged by an earthquake.

Businessman David Rubenstein said he was inspired to help fund the repairs to the 555foot obelisk when it became clear how severely damaged it was by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake Aug. 23. The National Park Service and nonprofit Trust for the National Mall announced Rubenstein’s gift Thursday morning. It is the largest gift to the nonprofit group that’s working to restore the mall.

The repair job will be no easy task, though. A design process is under way to determine how to do the work, and federal officials hope to award a contract by August to begin construction. From there it will take about a year, according to the best estimates.

The repairs may involve building huge scaffolding around the monument, as was the case during a restoration project from 1999 to 2001. Officials said they don’t yet know whether scaffolding will be necessary.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

U.S. trying to pressure Iran into nuke talks The United States and its European allies joined Friday in saying they would try to pressure Iran back into nuclear negotiations despite the Islamic republic’s failure after three months to answer the nations’ terms for talks.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. and its partners were making it clear to Tehran that it was headed down a “dangerous path” with its pursuit of nuclear weapons and threats to close off the Strait of Hormuz — through which much of the world’s fuel travels to reach international markets.

the chancellor’s health issues was having on his handling of the office, they did nothing to help him gracefully step down.

Sometime after the chancellor announced his retirement, a regent told this writer, “We knew about the situation, but what could we do?”

What could they have done? They could have made changes much sooner. The chancellor and university presidents work at the pleasure of the regents. They do not have a contract or tenure to protect their jobs.

How many other situations at KU — or on other campuses — have regents been aware of but elected to do nothing about?

What it all boils down to is that regents do not have the knowledge they should have relative to the schools they are supposed to oversee. And the chancellor and presidents can and do pull the wool over the eyes of the regents.

It’s time for some major changes and improvements.

Some way needs to be figured out to create groups of individuals for each of the regents universities that would serve as the regents’ eyes and ears. They would not have any power to bring about change or enforce policies, but they would have the responsibility of being alert to what is going on at the various schools and meeting with the regents from time to time to keep them up to date on what people interested in the schools are thinking and talking about. Such timely information could keep minor headaches or problems from festering and developing into far more serious matters.

Regents could no longer justify not taking action because they were unaware of a situation.

Here’s another long-overdue corrective action. The highly successful KU Hospital, which, over the last 15 to 20 years, has risen from a facility about to be closed or sold to one that is recognized as one of the nation’s

Obama isn’t 1st president to serenade the public

By Jerry Schwartz Associated Press

Is it too much to ask our presidents to uphold the Constitution, command the armed forces, execute the nation’s laws — AND provide us with a little musical interlude?

The question comes to mind in the wake of Barack Obama’s appearance at the Apollo Theater, when the leader of the free world took a moment to channel the Rev. Al Green, singing a bar from “Let’s Stay Together.” The crowd (and admirers on the Internet) went nuts, reacting in a way they rarely do to, say, a veto message or a Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Obama, of course, is not the first president to show his tuneful side to the public. Through the years, commanders-in-chief have turned musicians-in-chief, with varying results.

Among them:

Richard Nixon. He was no Billy Joel. And yet twice in 1974, in the last months of his doomed administration, the President Who Was Not a Crook became the President Who Was the Piano Man. He played “God Bless America” at the Grand Ole Opry, and the same tune when he accompanied singer Pearl Bailey in the East Room of the White House. The two also conspired on “Home on the Range” and “Wild Irish Rose.”

Nixon also appeared on TV with Jack Paar in 1963, and played a little concerto of his own devising. Nixon said this would put the kibosh on his political career: “The Republicans don’t want to another piano player in the White House,” he said.

Harry Truman. Nixon was referring to “Give ‘em Hell Harry,” a Democrat who could never pass a piano without sitting down to play a few bars. In 1952, Truman conducted a nationally top five teaching hospitals.

It has a board of directors to make sure the hospital has direction, discipline and vision and a sound, able and demanding leader.

Compare this to the KU School of Medicine. There is no board of directors and the only person who Barbara Atkinson, the KU executive vice chancellor and dean, reports to is KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

The School of Medicine needs a solid, visionary, tough and demanding board of directors. Its current state of affairs offers the best proof of the need for such a body.

It also needs a small group of on-the-ground observers who can work with a hospital board or the regents to keep them up to date about what is happening. Perhaps the same thing would be good for Kansas State’s veterinary school.

Again, Kansas taxpayers, students, faculty members and the state itself all are being shortchanged because of an outdated, over-tasked and under-performing Board of Regents. It’s a board that doesn’t have sufficient

televised tour of the newly renovated White House and played a bit on the 1938 Steinway. The building had been condemned when a leg of piano played by his daughter Margaret, a singer whose talent was of some dispute, crashed through the floor of the decrepit mansion.

Truman also played for Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill at the Potsdam Conference, neither shortening nor lengthening World War II appreciably. The man did love the piano: “My choice early in life was either to be a pianoplayer in a whorehouse or a politician,” he once said. “And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.”

Thomas Jefferson. He played the violin, and not just to meet women (though that is how he came to know his harpsichord-playing wife, Martha). When he wasn’t writing the Declaration of Independence or rewriting the Bible or inventing a four-sided music stand for string quartets, he made music. He played the cello and clavichord, but the violin was his instrument, and he was a ringer for several orchestras. Though often in need of money, he always refused payment.

Bill Clinton. William Jefferson Clinton, not yet president, took a giant step in that direction in June 1992 when he showed up with a saxophone and wraparound sunglasses to play “Heartbreak Hotel” on “The Arsenio Hall Show.” ‘‘It’s nice to see a Democrat blow something besides the election,” quipped the host.

After he won the presidency, Clinton played with E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons at an inaugural ball. He also took a moment from an East European tour in 1994 to climb the stage of Prague’s Reduta Jazz Club and play “My Funny Valentine” and “Summertime.” knowledge of what is going on at 32 campuses across the state and doesn’t have the courage, or at least hesitates, to investigate and initiate corrective measures. Worse yet, it turns away and expects someone else to correct a bad situation.

Kansans deserve better.

The governor and legislators who approve funding for the regents schools deserve better, as do faculty members, students and taxpayers. There is every reason to believe the situations mentioned above at KU and the KU School of Medicine could and should have been handled quicker and much better if the regents had known about the seriousness of these matters, how they handicapped the university and the poor return on taxpayer dollars.

Those serving as regents should demand better performance from the chancellor and presidents — and taxpayers and legislators should demand a better, more courageous, updated and revamped Board of Regents.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD O LJWorld.com O Saturday, January 21, 2012 WHERE TO WRITE Lawrence City Commission Aron Cromwell, mayor Cromwell Environmental, 1008 N.H., Suite 300., 66044, 749-6020 aroncromwell@gmail.com

Republicans buy into class-warfare narrative “Are you better off today than you were $4 trillion ago?”

— Former presidential candidate Rick Perry

WASHINGTON — It’s the campaign line of the year, and while the author Bob Schumm, vice mayor won’t be carrying it into the general 1729 St. Andrews Dr. 66047 election, the eventual nominee will.

Now, economic inequality is an important issue, but the idea that it is the cause of America’s current economic troubles is absurd.” pillaged the 99 percent and robbed the middle class of hope.

This charge, too, is straightforward: The Republicans serve as the protectors and enablers of the plutocrats, the exploiters who have profited while America suffers. They put party over nation, fat-cat donors over people, political power over everything.

It’s all rather uncomplicated, capturing nicely the Manichaean core of the Occupy movement — blame the rich, then soak them. But the real beauty of this strategy is its adaptability. While its first target was the do-nothing, protect-the-rich Congress, it is perfectly tailored to fit the liabilities of Republican front-runner Mitt Romney — plutocrat, capitalist, 1 percenter.

Obama rolled out this class-war counter-narrative in his Dec. 6 “Teddy Roosevelt” speech and hasn’t governed a day since. Every action, every proposal, every “we can’t wait” circumvention of the Constitution — such as recess appointments when the Senate is not in recess — is designed to fit this re-election narrative.

Hence: Where does Obama ostentatiously introduce the recess-appointed head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? At a rally in swing-state Ohio, a stage prop for Obama to declare himself tribune of the little guy, scourge of the big banks and their soulless Republican guardians.

For the first few weeks, the classenvy gambit had some effect, bumping Obama’s numbers slightly. But the story was still lagging, suffering in part from its association with an Occupy rabble that had widely worn out its welcome.

Then came the twist. Then came the most remarkable political surprise since the 2010 midterm: The struggling Democratic class-war narrative is suddenly given life and legitimacy by ... Republicans! Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry make the case that private equity as practiced

by Romney’s Bain Capital is nothing more than vulture capitalism looting companies and sucking them dry while casually destroying the lives of workers.

Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO nods approvingly. Michael Moore wonders aloud whether Gingrich has

Mark Bradford, president 766-4392 1509 Brink Court, 66047 mbradfor@usd497.org

stolen his staff. The assault on Bain/ Romney instantly turns Obama’s class-war campaign from partisan attack into universal complaint.

Suddenly Romney’s wealth, practices and taxes take center stage. And why not? If leading Republicans are denouncing rapacious capitalism that enriches the 1 percent while impoverishing everyone else, should this not be the paramount issue in a campaign occurring at a time of economic distress?

Now, economic inequality is an important issue, but the idea that it is the cause of America’s current economic troubles is absurd. Yet, in a stroke, the Republicans have succeeded in turning a Democratic talking point — a last-ditch attempt to salvage re-election by distracting from their record — into a central focus of the nation’s political discourse.

How quickly has the zeitgeist changed? Wednesday, the Republican House reconvened to reject Obama’s planned $1.2 trillion debtceiling increase. (Lacking Senate concurrence, the debt ceiling will be raised nonetheless.) No one noticed.

It made page A16 of The New York Times. All eyes are on South Carolina and Romney’s taxes.

This is no mainstream media conspiracy. This is the GOP maneuvering itself right onto Obama terrain.

The president is a very smart man.

But if he wins in November, that won’t be the reason. It will be luck.

He could not have chosen more selfdestructive adversaries.

Local healthcare officials were happy to announce that the YEARS flu season had apAGO parently passed IN 1972 its peak in Lawrence. According to several doctors, it had never reached serious proportions.

“As far as my observations go, it does seem to be quieting down a little,” said Dr. Alex Mitchell. “It’s not of sufficient proportions to warrant any special measures.”

The Emergency Service Council, which gave financial help to poor families in Lawrence, was reporting that they were almost out of food and other resources.

Donation boxes, which had been placed in local grocery stores in December, had been removed by store managers after Christmas.

The ESC said that they only had “dented cans of pork and beans” donated by the Stokely-Van Camp Co.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 21, 1912: YEARS “Thirty years ago AGO Saturday night, IN 1912 the old Liberty Hall was opened to Lawrence as a theatre by J. D. Bowersock. Frank March was the manager and Fay Templeton the attraction. February 18, 1911, the Bowersock Opera House and Journal Building burned to the ground. January 20, 1912, the finest theatre for any town the size of Lawrence was opened, the building having been built

by J. D. Bowersock ... Saturday night the new Bowersock theatre was opened formally to the people of Lawrence.”

ic Policy has shown that, for most Kansans, the proposed tax break from cuts would be offset by the loss of income tax credits and itemized deductions and a higher sales tax rate. Furthermore, the proposed plan ignores the need for increased investment in education, transportation, public safety and other areas crucial to making the state attractive for families and businesses.

Research from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows those few states without income taxes have high property and sales taxes or other sources of income. Texas has oil and shipping. Florida captures foreign tourist dollars with its sales tax, Wyoming has coal, and Washington state has Microsoft and Boeing.

logically sensitive areas of the state, including the Flint Hills and the Ogallala Aquifer; a spill would endanger the drinking water and agricultural irrigation of millions of people in the region. Also, the tapping of this particularly energy-intensive form of oil would release hundreds of thousands of pounds of carbon into the atmosphere, adding to the climate change that is already occurring and leading to what NASA climatologist James Hansen called “game over” for the environment.

Despite inflated jobs claims from the oil industry, the pipeline would provide at most a few thousand temporary construction jobs, and virtually none of those in Kansas. There is far more potential for job development in the transition to wind, solar and other clean, renewable and domestic sources of energy. Taking this farsighted approach would be better for Kansas, for the country and for Creation.

tion of yelling.

As the commercial says, “Some things money can’t buy.” Tradition is one of those things. When I entered Kansas University as a freshman in the fall of 1940, I was given KU traditions by those preceding me to cherish and pass on. The Rock Chalk Chant was one of the foremost. In this manner it has come down through the years. The last tone is not dropped until halfway through the last yo-oou. It has become world famous with almost all national sports announcers referring to it. (Dick Vitale loves it) Joke example: The al-Qaida captured two American soldiers. One was a KU alumnus and one was a Kansas State alumnus. The captor told the soldiers, “We shoot our prisoners but give you one last request.” He turned to the KU alumnus, who said, “I want just one more time to hear the famous Rock Chalk Chant.” The captor turned to the K-State alumnus, who said, “In that case, shoot me first.” It isn’t the yelling that annoys our rivals; it is the eerieness of the chant.

I know our “awesome” student section will see that the chant is not altered with any yelling and will pass this sacred tradition on in its correct form to those coming after them.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Texas guards take aim at KU

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

An uphill battle Lawrence boys can’t close gap in 65-60 loss to Topeka

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — McDonald’s All-American Myck Kabongo seriously considered playing college basketball at Kansas University.

“Look at the tradition they have. They’ve won championships. Lawrence is a great town.

They worship the basketball players there. As a player, that’s what you want,” said Kabongo, the University of Texas’ 6-foot1, 169-pound freshman point guard.

He played three years at St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, N.J., and his senior season at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev. “I was close with coach (Joe) Dooley. We have a great relationship. Their (KU coaches) relationship with coach Hurley (Dan, St. Benedict’s) was really good. Kansas is a great school.

So is every other school in the Big 12,” Kabongo added.

In search of immediate playing time, Kabongo committed to the Longhorns and has averaged 10.0 points, 5.8 assists and 28.9 minutes per game heading into today’s 3 p.m. Big 12 battle between unranked UT (12-6, 2-3) and No. 7 KU (15-3, 5-0) at Erwin Center.

“Kabongo will be a pro,” KU coach Bill Self said, and acknowledged, “we recruited him. He’s fast.

His numbers have been Kabongo good assistwise. He’s got a great per- A TEST sonality. He’s IN TEXAS a great leader.

He’s doing a Who: Kansas real good job (15-3, 5-0) vs. for them.”

We practiced there.

“When I was younger, I was so small. I know he remembers how small I was,” Kabongo added, laughing. “It’ll be fun on this stage playing against him.”

Taylor does indeed remember Kabongo’s stature.

“Yeah, he was little and skinny, but he was fast. He kind of plays like me, reminds me of me a little bit,” Taylor said. “He’s a lot taller now, a lot faster, stronger. I talked to him at Big 12 Media Day and exchanged numbers. I texted him a little while ago. It’s going to be fun playing against him.”

Kabongo has committed just 58 turnovers. He’s made 49 of 117 shots for 41.9 percent, including 12 of 40 threes for 30 percent.

He’s expected to someday be in the same mold as former UT standout point guards T.J. Ford and D.J. Augustin.

“He’s somewhere in between those two,” Texas coach Rick Barnes told ESPN. “He’s extremely fast like T.J., but T.J. would pace his game. Myck is a more full throttle. Forget the cruise control. He’d be great at Talladega. He can beat everyone down the floor with the ball, but he’s going to learn to change his pace from time to time so our team can get into a flow.”

Also ... “I’ve never seen him in a bad mood,” Barnes added.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR TROY WILLOUGHBY (12) GETS PAST Topeka High’s Evan Robinson (21) on a drive to the basket in the Topeka Invitational on Friday in Topeka.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

TOPEKA — There was no semifinal magic for Lawrence High’s boys basketball team Friday night at the Topeka Invitational.

A day after knocking off the No. 8 team in 6A, Wichita Northwest, with a buzzer-beater, Lawrence lost to No. 6 Topeka, 65-60, at Highland Park.

The Lions (6-5) stayed within striking distance throughout the game, and Topeka (7-2) didn’t stretch the lead to double figures until late in the fourth quarter. That LHS deficit coincided, coach Mike Lewis said, with an uncharacteristically high number of turnovers by his team down the stretch.

Beginning late in the third quarter and spilling over into the fourth, Lawrence turned the ball over eight times in 14 possessions, helping the Trojans finally get a little more comfortable.

“We just can’t have a gap where we dig ourselves that seven- or eight-point hole. We’ve gotta be tougher with the ball, be able to handle the physical pressure,” Lewis said of the lull, which he described as the difference in the game.

Still, LHS didn’t give up in the final minutes. Senior substitute guard Troy Willoughby drove in for a layup to get his team back within eight with just under two minutes left.

Next, his younger brother Shane, the savior in Lawrence’s openinground win at the invitational, hit a short fade-away jumper to cut the Please see LHS BOYS, page 4B

Ostertag halts D-League comeback J-W Staff Reports

Former Kansas University center Greg Ostertag has ended his pro basketball comeback attempt.

Ostertag had been playing for the NBA Development League’s Texas Legends and told the team Thursday that he was heading back into retirement, according to a report by ESPN.com’s Mark Stein.

The 38-year-old Ostertag, who returned to professional basketball after five years off, told ESPN that the pain in his knees was the main reason for ending his comeback. “They’ve been bugging me since I came back (in late December), but I could barely move (after Reno),� Ostertag said. “I felt good there and I played good.

TCU ready for big time in Big 12

Packers aide Philbin named Dolphins coach MIAMI — A month of wrenching emotion for Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin took another turn Friday when he landed the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching job.

The deal was sealed less than two weeks after Philbin’s 21-year-old son drowned in an icy Wisconsin river. The Dolphins confirmed the hiring in a news release and plan a news conference today.

Philbin, who has never been a head coach, first interviewed with Miami on Jan. 7. The body of son Michael, one of Philbin’s Philbin six children, was recovered the next day in Oshkosh.

After spending a week away from the Packers, Philbin rejoined the team last Sunday for its divisional playoff loss to the New York Giants. Philbin has been with Green Bay since 2003, serving as offensive coordinator since 2007. Coach Mike McCarthy called the plays, but Philbin put together the game plan for one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses.

By Randy Galloway Fort Worth Star-Telegram

To almost all involved, thanks for the college football season of 2011. You guys gave us a lot of everything.

The season was a good one, even with a yawner “Rematch� as a finale. It was also a bad one for the BCS concept, and that’s a great thing. And then there was the most awful scandal in the history of a sport that knows scandal.

At the top of 2011 Best in Show was the RG3 story, which can certainly be nominated for the best ever football story in the state of Texas. A player from Baylor suddenly became a nationwide fame name.

Second best? That came on the political front, where there was finally some serious slippage with the BCS stranglehold. A Final Four in college football is now coming, so the door will be open to a much-needed real tournament of 16 teams in the future.

Then, however, 2011 also gave us the lowest of the lows. Penn State.

Never ever again, let’s pray.

But moving on: The college football season of 2012 went on my radar about the same time LSU finally crossed the 50-yard line in the BCS National Championship Game.

Granted, this eager anticipation is mainly a provincial one since it centers on the local school out on University Drive.

TCU in the Big 12. Bring this thing on.

As a self-appointed TCU gimme-cap and T-shirt street alum, and mainly because I love to stir up other football “elements� in our state, I lost count a long time ago on how many arguments I’ve had over the past three or four years with the Austin-based orange element, the Lubbock element, the Okie element, and yes, the Aggie element, although that one is no longer a factor in any Big 12 loud debate.

All Frog Face devotees know this argument well. It starts with this kind of comment from “those people:� “Got to admit TCU is a good team, but there’s no way it’d survive week after week playing a Big 12 schedule.�

Ever heard that one, Gary Patterson? “I think I have,� said Patterson, laughing. “And I don’t know the answer, but the good thing is, we’re getting ready to find out what happens week after week.�

After being in four conferences (if you count the Big East) in the 14 seasons since Patterson first arrived at TCU as the defensive coordinator, the Frogs have been readmitted to the club.

As it was with the old SWC, when TCU was a long-standing member, if you play football in this state, you want to be in the Big 12, even with the ongoing uneasy future of the conference. When four teams bolt in two years, that’s uneasy. And when DeLoss Dodds is still a power broker, who really knows what’s next.

The Frogs’ story is about a program that survived and then thrived nationally under Patterson without being in the Big 12 family. Near-impossible, but TCU did it. When the College Station revolt led to the departure of Texas A&M, that opened the Big 12 door for TCU. Where does that door lead? At the moment, eight months away from the 2012 kickoff, that door leads to eager anticipation. Patterson admits he shares that eager anticipation. “It’s exciting for everyone involved with TCU,� he said. “You can feel the excitement even this early. We know we can play at the Big 12 level because we’ve demonstrated that. But can we do it every week? It’s a legitimate question.�

said Friday that Strickland’s surgery to repair the injury hasn’t been scheduled yet.

The 6-foot-3 guard had started every game for the eighth-ranked Tar Heels, averaging about eight points and shooting a team-best 57 percent while thriving in transition. He was the team’s top perimeter defender and doubled as the No. 2 ballhandler behind point guard Kendall Marshall.

some research on the KUUT series after signing with Texas.

“I saw last year what J.B. did to them. We came to their house and took the energy out of the gym,” Kabongo said of the day J’Covan Brown scored 23 points in UT’s 74-63 victory over KU in Allen Fieldhouse, the game that snapped KU’s school-record 69-game homecourt win streak.

“They played us in the (Big 12 Tournament) championship. It didn’t go too well for us,” Kabongo added.

KU stopped the Longhorns, 85-73, in the finals in Sprint Center. Brown, a 6-1 junior from Port Arthur, Texas, who leads the Big 12 in scoring at 19.2 ppg, had 17 in that game.

Brown scored 28 points — 26 in the second half — in a 8068 victory over KU on Feb. 8, 2010 in Austin.

“If he played against Kansas every game, he’d be the national player of the year,” KU’s Self said. “He’s killed us.

I don’t think you can limit his touches. I think you can limit his good touches a little bit and his shot off the catch, but

Henrickson said there were some critical elements of the game plan to take care of, if KU hopes to hand A&M road loss No. 4.

“From an offensive standpoint, you’ve gotta take care of the ball,” she said. “Your offense can’t become their offense. A&M presents different challenges in length and speed and athleticism and pressure and pressing and all of that is different than what we’ve seen.”

However, it’s not just A&M’s stellar transition play that concerns KU’s head coach. In fact, it seems as if the Aggies may be more dangerous in the halfcourt.

“They’re an absolute of-

fensive rebounding machine,” Henrickson said.

Through 16 games this season, A&M has averaged a Big 12-best 18.7 offensive rebounds per contest. Kelsey Bone (7.3) and Adaora Elonu (7.1) lead the Aggies’ rebounding attack, but, most nights, all five players on the floor contribute to controlling the glass.

Henrickson said that general statistics indicate that the first shot of a possession goes in about 30 percent of the time. After that, the percentages skyrocket, with second-shot opportunities being converted 60 percent of the time and third-shot chances going in 80 percent of the time.

“Those numbers are for everybody,” Henrickson said.

“But they’re more magnified with A&M because of how many times they go get two and three (shots per pos-

session). You’ve gotta limit those 60 and 80 percent shots for them.”

KU catches a tough rebounding team at a good time, considering what went down the last time the Jayhawks played. Wednesday night, during a 65-60 victory at Oklahoma State, senior Aishah Sutherland ripped down 22 rebounds, marking the first time since 1981 that a KU player eclipsed the 20-rebound mark in a game. That same night, junior forward Carolyn Davis, who led all scorers with 18 points, pulled down four boards and topped the 500-rebound mark for her career.

Those milestones, along with their three-game road winning streak, have the Jayhawks as energized and confident as they’ve been all season.

“They’re excited,” Henrickson said. “And that’s one

of the many wonderful things about this league; you get opportunities almost every night to get quality wins. Not every league has that.”

“Texas is different. It’s hot.

It’s country. It’s nice,” Kabongo said. “I’m not complaining about the weather. It’s a great campus, 50,000 students. I’m happy.”

O Robinson anniversary: Today, as reported earlier in the week, is the first anniversary of the death of Thomas Robinson’s mother, Lisa.

“I’m amazed at how well he’s done,” KU coach Self said of Robinson’s adjustment to life without Lisa the past year.

Robinson, of course, has emerged as a national Player of the Year candidate.

“He’s a remarkable kid and deserves things that are coming his way,” Self added.

Self was asked about the recruitment of Robinson, who played high school ball at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H. “He was a very raw, energetic and an active guy when we recruited him and we thought he had a chance to be really good. I think a couple things we didn’t know at the time that turned out to be as good as it is, are his hands,” Self said. “If he gets his hands on a ball, more than likely he’s

going to get it. Also, you don’t know that his body is going to continue to develop like it has.

He has a want-to inside of him and a focus right now that’s about as good as anybody that we’ve had since I’ve been here.

Right now he’s pretty driven and pretty focused. Coaches get way too much credit when they come to a place and do well because you can’t help but get better if you have a ball in your hands every day for three hours a day. I think the real testimony should be going to the players that want to get better, and he’s a guy that wants to get better.”

O This, that: KU, which has won four of the last five meetings, leads the all-time series, 18-7. KU and UT have met in four of the last six Big 12 Championship title games.

KU won them all: 80-68 in 2006 in Dallas, 88-84 in OT in 2007 in Oklahoma City, 8474 in 2008 in KC and 85-73 in 2011 in KC. ... KU is 4-5 vs. UT in games played in Austin, including 3-4 in Erwin Center. ... Since the inception of the Big 12, KU is 14-6 against UT: 10-5 mark in the regular season and 4-1 record in the Big 12 tourney. ... Five of the last seven games have been decided by 10 points or less.

Jayhawks in tackles during each of the past two seasons.

When he suits up at 3 p.m. today at Tropicana Field to participate in the longestrunning college football allstar game, he will become the fourth Jayhawk in the past three seasons to play in the game and the 48th Jayhawk all-time to receive an invite.

“I was a little rusty at first,” Johnson said, “because I haven’t played in about a month. But it was a lot of fun getting out there with a whole bunch of guys who have the same dreams and aspirations as you.”

During his senior season at KU, Johnson led the Big 12 Conference in tackles (93) and finished the season ranked 16th in the na-

Trojans’ lead to six with roughly a minute and a half to go.

A basket inside by Anthony Buffalomeat at the 1:11 mark got the deficit to four.

But a three-pointer by THS senior Evan Robinson and two free throws apiece from Topeka’s Marcus Fillyaw and Andrew Dawson in the final minute were enough to offset three-pointers from LHS seniors Logan Henrichs and KJ Pritchard.

Robinson carried Topeka throughout the fourth, scoring 14 of his game-high 24 points in the final eight minutes. The 6-foot-6 forward with range was perfect in the fourth, hitting a pair of three-pointers, two shots from inside the arc and all four of his free-throw attempts.

As Buffalomeat bluntly put it: “That didn’t help.”

Riding their hot forward, the Trojans went 6-for-7 from the floor in the fourth and hit 13 of their 15 foul shots. Lewis said LHS was too streaky in that same stretch.

“They were on fire,” Lewis said of the Trojans. “Every time we seemed to get a little momentum, they countered and hit something.”

Buffalomeat said Topeka was a good team, and its execution sent the Trojans to the tournament championship game, where THS will play Sunrise Academy.

“It felt like they didn’t miss one shot in the fourth quarter,” Buffalomeat said.

It was Buffalomeat who was scorching the nets early on in the game. A night after finishing with just two points, he scored nine of his team’s 14 first-quarter

Johnson, who earned both second team and third team all-league honors following KU’s 2-10 season, also finished in the top 25 nationally in solo tackles with 66. While those stats put his name on the map, the Media, Pa., native has dreams of playing in the NFL and hopes that his time at the Shrine Game will help him reach that goal.

“I got to talk to and meet with a lot of different scouts,” he said. “I feel like I talked to almost every (NFL) team.”

Energized by the chance to talk to pro scouts, John-

son said he did not lose sight of the purpose of the game, which raises money and awareness for Shriners Hospitals for Children across the country.

“It’s a business trip,” he said. “But at the same time, it’s kind of laid-back, and you still remember the community and the kids and the hospital and all of that stuff, because that’s really what it’s all about.”

Already moved by his interaction with the children, John- Johnson son said today’s game could be emotional for another reason.

“It might be a little bit,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to be anything like Senior Day, but just being able to wear that helmet one more time, that’s always an honor. That was the university

that gave me an opportunity when no one else did. I’ll always be Jayhawk for life. And it’s going to be fun to be able to represent the University of Kansas on TV. Hopefully I’ll go out there and make a bunch of plays and rep where I’m from.”

Johnson is on the West roster, which will be led by former Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress. The West team will wear blue during the game and its roster includes three other players who called the Big 12 home during the 2011 season — Dominique Hamilton, DL, Missouri; David Snow, OL, Texas; and Blake Gideon, SS, Texas.

Interestingly enough, the East roster, which will wear red and is coached by former San Diego Chargers coach Bobby Ross, also includes a couple of Big 12 alums — Nick Jean-Baptiste, DL, Baylor, and Tysyn Hartman, FS, Kansas State The game will be televised on The NFL Network.

BVW clips FSHS in final seconds J-W Staff Reports

MCPHERSON — Despite entering the McPherson Invitational on a seven-game losing streak, Free State High’s boys basketball squad came ever so close to reaching the tournament championship game.

But Blue Valley West came from behind late and defeated the Firebirds, 47-46, in the semifinals Friday night. FSHS beat Buhler in the first round.

Free State led 31-25 at halftime and 37-33 entering the fourth quarter, but BV West made one of two free throws to break a tie with 10 seconds left.

“We missed a couple opportunities, but I’ve never been as proud of a group of kids as I am today,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said. “They played fantastic.”

Cole Moreano led the Firebirds with 14 points and also

pulled down six rebounds.

Brett Frantz contributed 13 points, and Gabe Patterson had nine rebounds.

“We played very well today,” Law said. “We couldn’t have asked any more from our kids.”

The Firebirds outrebounded Blue Valley West 32-22 in the second meeting this season between the two schools.

BV West won the first game, 61-49.

“We did some good things tonight,” Law said. “We made some strides toward becoming a good basketball team.”

LHS girls battle back for 51-48 victory J-W Staff Reports

EMPORIA — The Lawrence High girls basketball team took its first lead over Emporia in the fourth quarter Tuesday night, then held on for a 51-48 victory.

With four minutes remaining in the game, Lawrence’s Anna Wright scored a threepointer. The Lions proceeded to open up a seven-point lead before the Spartans narrowed the deficit to two points in the final minute.

Krista Costa sank one of two free throws with seven seconds remaining to extend the Lawrence lead to three points, and Lawrence held off Emporia on the final possession of the game.

“I was really proud of how they competed,” LHS coach

Nick Wood said — the Lions trailed 20-7 at one point in the first half.

“When we got down early, it would have been easy to give in and quit. The way they battled back showed amazing heart and character.

Every single girl contributed to our victory.”

Nuggets 108, Wizards 104 WASHINGTON — Al Harrington scored a season-high 29 points, and Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson each had 21 to lead Denver.

It was the fifth win in six games for the Nuggets, who played without Nene due to a bruised right heel. He’s expected back today in New York.

After Arron Afflalo gave Denver a 100-98 lead on a layup with 2:07 to play, Harrington hit a three-pointer with 1:14 left to make it 10398.

A special edition of the Lawrence Journal-World celebrating our hometown heroes.

In April 2011, the Journal-World celebrated the community contributions of 50 Lawrence citizens by sharing their compelling stories in our inaugural edition of “Only In Lawrence.” Six dedicated Lawrence residents were given our highest honor: the Larry Award.

This year, we will continue celebrating the unique contributions of Lawrence residents, and we need your help identifying friends, neighbors and co-workers who make our town special.

What unsung individuals or groups are doing great work to better our community?

After notice is sent, the Code Enforcement Officer shall then have the authority to proceed with the disconnection of City water, sanitary sewer, and sanitation services at said Dwelling or property.

Wife must take responsibility for marital strife Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

How do I tactfully remind her that she’s the one who betrayed our marriage and that I stopped all contact with my friend but she continues to work with hers?

Wife Not Cheating at Texas Hold ‘Em Dear Texas: We think your wife is keeping the focus on you in order to justify her own cheating. Please ask your counselor to work on that. If your wife refuses to take responsibility for her part in your marital troubles, there isn’t much hope for a successful future with her.

Dear Annie: This is for “Baffled Nurse in Indiana,” who was upset to see parents steal the office tongue depressors and exam gloves as toys for their children. I agree with her.

Some folks’ sense of entitlement is off the charts.

No one has the right to help himself to supplies in a doc-

Rob Lowe’s a mad, bad cad!

It’s Rob Lowe as you’ve never seen him! Who knew that a modified Mike Ditka hairdo and the Brawny Paper Towel man’s mustache would do so much for the too-pretty star of “The West Wing” and “St. Elmo’s Fire”?

Let’s face it: Rob Lowe has always been typecast as Ken to every girl’s Barbie.

Not anymore. He stars in the title role in “Drew Peterson: Untouchable” (7 p.m., Lifetime) as a creepy, controlling older cop who struts around a small Illinois town like a suburban Casanova. Over the years, he collects four wives. Kathleen (Cara Buono), wife No. 3, dies mysteriously, and Stacy (Kaley Cuoco), wife No. 4, vanishes without a trace.

Based on a true story and filled with real news reports from “Today” and “Larry King Live,” ‘‘Untouchable” opens as Drew is bickering with Kathleen and then cheating on her with Stacy.

This is a fun departure for Cuoco, who rapidly transforms from a brazenly clueless, husband-stealing hussy to a doting mom and abused spouse. She is the victimized poster-child-bride for Lifetime’s endless effort to warn women against the wicked wolf disguised as Prince Charming.

The game cast includes Catherine Dent as a concerned neighbor who organizes the effort to put Peterson behind bars.

Dent starred on “The Shield,” so she knows a thing or two about abusive, sociopathic policemen.

But the movie belongs to Rob Lowe, whose turn as every woman’s nightmare is a real revelation. From the first scene to the end credits, “Untouchable” remains just this side of camp. But I was transfixed by Lowe’s consistently ominous performance. May his acting career flourish under a continuing assortment of bad hair days.

Karl travels to a desert island on the debut of “An Idiot Abroad 2: The Bucket List” (9 p.m., Science).

A picket fence existence disguises a couple’s double life on “Scorned: Love Kills” (9 p.m., ID).

Vanilla Ice, a white rapper turned punch line, indulges in his real avocation, home renovation, on the new weekly series “The Vanilla Ice Project” (9 p.m., DIY).

Tonight’s other highlights

The voices of Bruce Willis and Garry Shandling animate the 2006 comic-strip adaptation “Over the Hedge” (7 p.m., ABC).

Neil prepares his battle against “The Fades” (8 p.m., BBC America).

John Schneider and Jason London star in the 2011 shocker “Snow Beast” (8 p.m., Syfy). I salute Syfy for treating this movie like the over-the-top joke that it is. On History or Animal Planet, it would be presented as a documentary.

Beckett is on the brink on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

Kenneth Branagh, Zach Braff and Frank Skinner appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9:15 p.m., BBC America).

Chicago: Instead of complaining about her clients, perhaps “Baffled Nurse” should talk to her boss about ways to eliminate the waiting time. Medical services professionals need to understand that their patients’ time is as valuable as their own and operate accordingly.

Dear Annie: I am 44 years old and have been married for 12 years. This is my first marriage and her third.

My wife had a yearlong affair with a co-worker. We tried counseling, but her inability to end the affair forced me to move out, although we have not divorced. I also found out that her two previous marriages ended because of her infidelity.

Four months ago, my wife ended the affair, and we returned to counseling. However, during our separation, I reconnected with an old female friend. There is no romance or sex involved. I told my wife about the friendship, but she feels betrayed and doesn’t think she can forgive my “emotional affair.”

I am frustrated that my wife is being so self-righteous about something that never happened, when she had an actual affair Wife emotional and physical. Our counselor believes she may be going through menopause and has asked me to be patient. But I’ve already been dealing with this for 18 months.

I want to save my marriage, but it’s as if the real reason for our separation is being pushed under the rug so we can concentrate on my nonexistent “emotional affair.”

I’m not blaming the counselor. My wife cannot focus on anything but my wrongdoing.

Congress puts off piracy bills

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody and Robert Jablon Associated Press

By Jim Abrams

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Caving to a massive campaign by Internet services and their millions of users, Congress indefinitely postponed legislation Friday to stop online piracy of movies and music costing U.S. companies billions of dollars every year.

Critics said the bills would result in censorship and stifle Internet innovation.

The demise, at least for the time being, of the anti-piracy bills was a clear victory for Silicon Valley over Hollywood, which has campaigned for a tougher response to online piracy. The legislation also would cover the counterfeiting of drugs and car parts.

Congress’ qualms underscored how Internet users can use their collective might to block those who want to change the system.

The battle over the future of the Internet also played out on a different front Thursday when a loose affiliation of hackers known as “Anonymous” shut down Justice Department websites for several hours and hacked the site of the Motion Picture Association of America after federal officials issued an indictment against Megaupload.com, one of the world’s biggest file-sharing sites.

The site of the Hong Kongbased company was shut down, and the founder and three employees were arrested in New Zealand on U.S. accusations that they facilitated millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content, costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue. New Zealand police raided homes and businesses linked to the founder, Kim Dotcom, on Friday and seized guns, millions of dollars and nearly $5 million in luxury cars, officials there said.

In the U.S., momentum against the Senate’s Protect Intellectual Property Act and the House’s Stop Online Piracy Act, known popularly as PIPA and SOPA, grew quickly on Wednesday when the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and other Web giants staged a one-day blackout and Google organized a petition drive that attracted more than 7 million participants.

That day alone, at least six senators who had co-sponsored the Senate legislation reversed their positions. House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, in statements at the time and again on Friday, stressed that more consensus-building was needed before the legislation would be ready for a vote.

On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was postponing a test vote set for Tuesday “in light of recent events.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, followed suit, saying consideration of a similar House bill would be postponed “until there is wider agreement on a solution.”

With opposition mounting, it was unlikely that Reid would have received the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation to the Senate floor.

The two bills would allow the Justice Department, and copyright holders, to seek court orders against foreign websites accused of copyright infringement. The legislation would bar online advertising networks and payment facilitators such as credit card companies from doing business with an alleged violator. They also would forbid search engines from linking to such sites.

The chief Senate sponsor, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., cited estimates that copyright piracy costs the American economy more than $50 billion annually and that global sales of counterfeit goods via the Internet reached $135 billion in 2010.

SHIPS ARE MOORED Wednesday at Porto Ercole harbor, Argentario coast, Italy. A half-million gallons of fuel inside the capsized Costa Concordia cruiser liner risk polluting some of the Mediterranean’s most pristine sea.

Cruise ship’s oil threatens marine paradise off Italy

By Frances D’Emilio Associated Press

PORTO ERCOLE, ITALY — Stone fortresses and watchtowers that centuries ago stood guard against marauding pirates loom above pristine waters threatened by a modern peril: fuel trapped within the capsized Costa Concordia luxury liner.

A half-million gallons of heavy fuel oil is in danger of leaking out and polluting some of the Mediterranean’s most unspoiled sea, where dolphins chase playfully after sailboats and fishermen’s catches are so prized that wholesalers come from across Italy to scoop up cod, lobster, scampi, swordfish and other delicacies.

“Even the Caribbean has nothing on us,” said Francesco Arpino, a scuba instructor in the chic port of Porto Ercole, noting how the sleek granite sea bottom helps keep visibility crystal clear even 135 feet down.

Divers in these transparent waters marvel at an un-

derwater world of sea horses and red coral, while on the surface sperm whales cut through the sea.

But worry is clouding this paradise, which includes a stretch of Tuscan coastline that has been the holiday haunt of soccer and screen stars, politicians and European royals.

Rough seas hindering divers’ search for bodies in the Concordia’s submerged section have also delayed the start of a pumping operation expected to last weeks to remove the fuel from the ship.

Floating barriers aimed at containing any spillage now surround the vessel.

According to the Dutch salvage firm Smit, which has been contracted to remove the fuel, there are about a half million gallons of heavy fuel oil on board, as well as some 200 tons of diesel oil and smaller amounts of lubricants and other environmentally hazardous materials.

The ship lies dangerously close to a drop-off point on

the sea bottom. Should strong waves nudge the vessel from its precarious perch, it could plunge some 90 feet, further complicating the pumping operation and possibly rupturing fuel tanks. Italy’s environment minister has warned that if the tanks break, the thick black fuel would block sunlight vital for marine life in the seabed.

A week after the Concordia struck a reef off the island of Giglio, flipping on its side, its crippled 114,000-ton hull rests on seabed rich with an underwater prairie of sea grass vital to the ecosystem.

Environmentalists warn the sheer weight of the wreckage has likely already damaged a variety of marine life, including endangered sea sponges, and crustaceans and mollusks, even before a drop of fuel leaks.

“The longer it stays there, the longer it impedes light from reaching the vegetation,” said Francesco Cinelli, an ecology professor at the University of Pisa in Tuscany.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Police have closed down dozens of toy shops for selling Barbie dolls in Iran, part of a decades-long crackdown against “manifestations of Western culture,” the semiofficial Mehr news agency reported Friday.

Barbie dolls are sold wearing swimsuits and miniskirts in a society where women must wear headscarves in public, and men and women are not allowed to swim together.

A ban on the sale of the Barbies, designed to look like young Western women, was imposed in the mid-1990s.

Home sales up at end of dismal year

By Derek Kravitz Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Home sales in December reached their highest pace in nearly a year.

The gain coincided with other signs that the troubled housing market improved at the end of last year.

Analysts cautioned that sales remain historically low and that it will take years for the home market to return to full health.

Still, the third straight monthly sales increase was encouraging. And economists noted that conditions are in place for further gains this year: Prices have declined.

Mortgage rates have never been lower. Homebuilders are slightly more hopeful because more people are saying they might be open to buying this year. And home construction picked up in the final quarter of last year.

“There’s no denying that home sales are still very low and will remain low for a few years,” said Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics. “But after having risen in each of the last three months ... it is clear that a housing recovery is now well under way.”

Sales of previously occupied homes rose 5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.61 million in December, the National Association

of Realtors said Friday. It’s the best level since January 2011.

For all of 2011, sales totaled only 4.26 million. That’s up slightly from 4.19 million in the previous year. But it’s far below the 6 million that economists equate with healthy housing markets. In 2005, at the peak of the boom, 7.1 million homes were sold.

Hiring has improved, which is critical to a housing rebound. Fewer people sought unemployment benefits last week than at any time in nearly four years, evidence of far fewer layoffs. The unemployment rate fell in December to its lowest level in nearly three years.

“With layoffs slowing sharply, hiring rising and consumers’ confidence rebounding, the pre-conditions for a sustained recovery are falling into place,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics. “Sales and starts will keep rising; prices should stabilize, more or less.”

The median sales price of a previously occupied home ticked up 0.3 percent from November to December to $164,500.

The supply of homes has declined, though it’s still historically high at 2.38 million.

At last month’s sales pace, it would take nearly seven months to clear those homes.

LOS ANGELES — Etta James’ performance of the enduring classic “At Last” was the embodiment of refined soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love finally realized after a long and patient wait.

In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song. James The platinum blonde’s first hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known as a hellraiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry. Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents.

The 73-year-old died on Friday at Riverside Community Hospital from complications of leukemia, with her husband and sons at her side, her manager, Lupe De Leon said.

“It’s a tremendous loss for

her fans around the world,” he said. “She’ll be missed. A great American singer. Her music defied category.”

James’ spirit could not be contained — perhaps that’s what made her so magnetic in music; it is surely what made her so dynamic as one of R&B, blues and rock ‘n’ roll’s underrated legends.

“The bad girls ... had the look that I liked,” she wrote in her 1995 autobiography, “Rage to Survive.” ‘‘I wanted to be rare, I wanted to be noticed, I wanted to be exotic as a Cotton Club chorus girl, and I wanted to be obvious as the most flamboyant hooker on the street. I just wanted to be.”

Despite the reputation she cultivated, she would always be remembered best for “At Last.” The jazz-inflected rendition wasn’t the original, but it would become the most famous and the song that would define her as a legendary singer. Over the decades, brides used it as their song down the aisle and car companies to hawk their wares, and it filtered from one generation to the next through its inclusion in movies like “American Pie.” Perhaps most famously, President Obama and the first lady danced to a version at his inauguration ball.

A MAN STANDS NEXT TO AN IMPROMPTU VIDEO PRESENTATION Thursday in the Zamalek neighborhood in Cairo, Egypt, as part of the “Liars” campaign — “Kazeboon” in Arabic. Hundreds of impromptu street shows highlighting military abuses have been put on around the country in past weeks, sometimes more than 10 a day. Egypt is nearing the first anniversary of the start of protests that toppled Hosni Mubarak, and activists are trying to garner public support to reinvigorate the revolution, now to pressure the ruling military and the powerful Muslim Brotherhood.

Year later, Egypt activists seek further revolution

By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO — A crowd of antimilitary activists suddenly converged on a bustling Cairo boulevard, erecting makeshift screens and showing videos of soldiers beating protesters, dragging women on the ground, partially stripping one and stomping on her chest.

Their message: The generals ruling Egypt have to go.

The activists who led the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak last year have been holding hundreds of socalled flash mobs around the country, in a campaign they call “Liars.”

By showing people recent abuses by the military, they say they have injected new public support for their demand that the generals quickly surrender power.

But it also raises questions.

“What do they want?” one passer-by, Mohammed Ali, asked at one such gathering this week.

“Even if (the military) are liars... we are going to get power transferred to civilians in six months. That is not bad,” the 30-year-old said. “It doesn’t deserve all this noise.

Let’s wait and see.”

Wednesday marks the first anniversary of the start of the 18-day wave of protests that toppled Mubarak. Activists are trying to turn public discontent over lack of change into support for continuing revolutionary protests. But they face the task of explaining to Egyptians who are sick of turmoil: Revolution for what?

The revolution’s second year, the activists say, must pressure both the ruling military, which they maintain is as authoritarian as Mubarak, and the Muslim Brotherhood, which dominates the new

parliament and which they fear is allying itself with the generals.

The anniversary shows the tensions. Each of the country’s power brokers has its own plans to mark the day, underlining the stark differences over the very meaning of the revolution and raising the potential for a clash. State and pro-military media blare warnings that the protesters aim to “burn the country,” raising concerns over a crackdown.

The activists are organizing new nationwide protests for the occasion. Thousands rallied in Tahrir Square on Friday, kicking off what they say will be several days of demonstrations, including Monday when parliament convenes and on the Wednesday anniversary.

The military has put together its own elaborate Jan. 25 celebrations, declaring the day a national holiday. It plans a nationwide air show, including flyovers by warplanes that it boasts will be bigger than those it holds for anniversaries of the 1952 coup that first brought the generals to the helm of Egyptian politics.

Other planes will drop gift coupons to the public. Officers will be decorated for their role helping the antiMubarak protests.

The military’s message is that it supported the antiMubarak uprising, but the time for revolution is over.

“Stability is the first goal,” said Maj. General Ismail Etman, a member of the military council that took power after Mubarak’s Feb. 11 fall.

“If there is tension between the people and the armed forces, it must be removed ...

We want the big family to enjoy love and stability.”
