The family of a 20-year-old Tonganoxie High School graduate who suffered brain damage during a 2009 dental procedure in Lawrence reached a $3 million settlement Thursday with a Lawrence plumbing company. But legal action is pending against several defendants, including the city of Lawrence, in the case that was filed on behalf of Austin Stone. A trial is scheduled for November. The lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of Stone and his guardians, Tara Passmore and Stone Lance Stone, alleges that oxygen and nitrous oxide lines were crossed during design and construction of Dr. Kirk Vincent’s office at 4811 Bob Billings Parkway. In a settlement agreement, Action Plumbing, which installed the medical gas lines, denied liability. Chief Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild approved the settlement in court Thursday. According to testimony and court records, a major portion of the $3 million will be used to help pay for Stone’s future care and expenses. Stone was in a coma after the incident, and he is now legally blind and has other health issues. The lawsuit alleges: Stone visited Vincent’s office on March 30, 2009, to have four wisdom teeth removed. During the

It was followed later that year by a cast of more than 1,000 local and national actors performing on seven stages the musical extravaganza “The Kansas Story.” There was the Kansas Centennial Ball and Founders Day Banquet. Stamps, dolls, coins

and even napkins were made to commemorate the event. Here in Lawrence, the centennial was celebrated with a joint visit from Miss America and Miss Kansas. And Kansas University had its own theater production, “Hello, Kansas!”, whose opening performance the Lawrence Journal-World called a “dazzling local success.” But it was the beards that stick in the minds of most Kansans.

Virgil Dean can still envision his grandmother riding on floats that paraded through downtown Ottawa. Mike Amyx remembers seeing Miss America wearing a big black hat and pretty black dress in South Park. John Clinger recalls the stamps his mother made him collect commemorating the event. And many, many others talk about the beards that men all across Kansas grew to celebrate the state’s 100th birthday. On Saturday, Kansas turns 150 years old. And while plenty of festivities will take place commemorating the anniversary, they will undoubtedly pale in comparison to the year’s worth of celebrating Kansans did 50 years ago as they rang in the state’s centennial. “It just seemed like a bigger event than what we are making of the 150th celebration,” said Clinger, who lives just outside of

Charlette Blubaugh latest in string of defendants to admit role in multimillion-dollar scam By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

W I C H I T A — Another former ticket manager for Kansas Athletics Inc. has admitted in federal court that she took part in a scheme that converted stolen KU basketball and football tickets into tax-free cash through sales by ticket brokers and others. Charlette Blubaugh pleaded

guilty Thursday morning to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, a crime that carries a potential prison term of 20 years and a Blubaugh $250,000 fine. She now is responsible for paying up to $2 million to the gov-

attorneys, after the 47-minute hearing.

DEATHS Glen Ervin Freeman Sr. Glen Ervin Freeman Sr., of Lawrence, Kansas, went to be with the Lord January 25th, 2011. The family received friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday at Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence. Private military graveside services are planned at a later date. Mr. Freeman was born to Orval and Mary Francis House Freeman on Dec. 23rd, 1921, in Kansas City, Missouri. After his mother tragically died when he was 5 years old he moved to the Lone Star, Kansas area and was raised by his foster parents, Elza and Cecil Bond. Mr. Freeman joined the U.S. Army after graduating from Liberty Memorial High School in Lawrence. On June 14th, 1941, he married his sweetheart Marian Ramona Votaw in Little Rock, Arkansas. A few months after his marriage, he was deployed to the South Pacific in WWII, proudly serving his country going to Guadalcanal, New Caledonia, Fiji, Efate and many other islands. He was extremely proud of his service to the United States and was a founding member of the Americal Division (Americans in New Caledonia). After returning to the

United States in 1945 he became a mechanic at Ship Winter Chevrolet from 1949 until he started his own business, D&G Automotive Service from 19601969. Glen and his wife Marian shared 55 very happy years of marriage until Marian passed away in 1996. Mr. Freeman was preceded in death by his wife, parents, his foster parents and his older brother Melvin. Survivors include three sons: Glen Freeman Jr., and wife Vivian of Lawrence, James Freeman and wife Janice of Sumter, So. Carolina, Richard Freeman of Lawrence, and Daughter Mary Ann Willems and husband Hank of Lawrence. Mr. Freeman is also survived by seven Grandsons, one Granddaughter, five Great Grandsons, three Great Granddaughters, and a GreatGreat Grandson.

the top tickets job after Blubaugh left the department. ● Rodney Jones, who had been an assistant athletic director in charge of the Williams Fund. Now awaiting trial March 8 is Ben Kirtland, former associate athletic director for development. In February 2010, as federal agents had been investigating the ticket scam, Blubaugh resigned to take a job in the athletic director’s office at the University of Central Oklahoma, telling Kansas Athletics officials that she’d wanted to be closer to family. At the request of Kansas Athletics, she agreed to continue working with the department to help compile information about the ticket scam for investigators. On Thursday in court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Hathaway documented that Blubaugh actually had been an active participant in the scam. He said KU had hired Blubaugh away from her job in the ticket office at the University of Oklahoma, to become “kind of a consultant” to Kansas Athletics, where she would work her way up to become an assistant athletic director for ticket operations. During that time, Hathaway said:

He is survived by his parents, Susan K. Schott and John S. Schott, of Lawrence, and his sister Katherine, of Boulder, Colorado. In lieu of flowers the family suggests contributions to the Lawrence Humane Society in his memory. A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

● Blubaugh became familiar with Liebsch, Jones and Kirtland and, in 2005, “a conspiracy commenced,” with Blubaugh providing tickets to “various employees” for illegal resale. ● Blubaugh received tickets from the department’s printer, and set aside “a large number” of season tickets — “originally at the request of Ben Kirtland” — for distribution through conspirators. ● Such diversion of tickets escalated to the point that tickets would be moved through her husband, Tom Blubaugh, who worked as a consultant to Kansas Athletics from August 2007 to January 2010, with documents authorizing his $115,000 of total compensation being approved by Kirtland. ● Received proceeds from tickets channeled through Liebsch, Jones and Kirtland. Tickets “moved” through her husband were sold through brokers in Oklahoma, and only the Blubaughs split those proceeds, Hathaway said. ● Failed to report any of the proceeds to the IRS or to the NCAA through Kansas Athletics, therefore avoiding payment of taxes. In all, Hathaway said, the conspirators reaped proceeds of more than $2 million from the ticket scam.

Now Charlette Blubaugh and others who have pleaded guilty are responsible for giving up the gains. “You understand that you’re responsible for a monetary judgment of $2 million?” Judge Brown said. “Yes, sir,” she responded. “You understand?” he repeated. “Yes, sir,” she said. As part of her deal with prosecutors, she has agreed to provide information about all of her assets since 2005 — part of an examination into her financial situation that could include a lie-detector test. She also must assist authorities in their investigation and prosecution of the case and “all related conduct.” Her husband is scheduled to plead guilty to conspiracy at 10 a.m. today, also before Judge Brown. Still awaiting trial is Kirtland, who also is accused of conspiracy. His trial is scheduled to begin March 8 in Wichita. Two other former colleagues, Jason Jeffries and Brandon Simmons, previously had pleaded guilty to failing to disclose the scam to authorities. They and others who already have pleaded guilty also await sentencing. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

An article in the Lawrence Journal-World proclaimed April 30 as the “last legal day” that men over 21 could shave in Kansas. Those who preferred not to grow whiskers had to purchase a $2 shaving permit button that was to be worn at all times in public. In June, 82 men competed in a contest at the Hotel Eldridge for longest, prettiest, most unique, ugliest, thickest and most colorful beards.

Fifty years later mementos linger. Amyx, the current Lawrence mayor, has in his possession a thick scrapbook that chronicles a year of beards, prairie dresses and covered wagons. Clinger still has his commemorative stamps. And Dean, a historian for the Kansas Historical Society, has held onto a wooden coin from that year. “It really got me fascinated in history,” Dean said. Although he noted the

Kansas history celebrated in 1961 was one that glorified the rugged pioneer spirit and tended to gloss over some of the less-becoming characteristics of the state’s beginnings. “It was a different kind of celebration than what we agree we should have today,” Dean said. “Historians talk of commemorations, rather than celebrations.” — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

When Stone did not become sedated, the doctor administered Fentanyl and Diazepam, and then Propofol. At that point Stone’s heart rate decreased, and Vincent administered what he thought to be 100 percent oxygen, but it was pure nitrous oxide. Emergency medical workers were called because Stone eventually stopped breath-

Stone was eventually transferred to Kansas University Hospital and other institutes for rehabilitation. According to testimony Thursday, Stone still suffers from significant neurological problems.

Kobach: Presidential primary unaffordable TOPEKA — Kansas voters won’t be able to participate in a presidential primary in 2012 under legislation introduced Thursday by Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Kobach, a Republican, said he would like to have a presidential primary, but the $1.5 million to $2 million cost is too steep during the state’s current budget problems. The state faces an estimated $550 million revenue shortfall. If the bill is approved by the Legislature, it would be the fifth straight time Kansas voters have been denied a presidential preference primary. The last one held in Kansas was 1992. Most of the primaries have been skipped because of budget concerns.

In 2008, the Republican and Democratic parties held presidential caucuses that were well-attended.

Senate rejects changes in filibuster rules The filibuster lives on. The Senate voted overwhelmingly late Thursday to reject efforts to change its rules to restrict the blockades that have sown gridlock and discord in recent years on Capitol Hill. Instead, senators settled on a more modest measure to prevent single lawmakers from anonymously holding up legislation and nominations, and the parties’ Senate leaders announced a handshake deal to conduct business in a more efficient and civilized way. The two leaders, Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, also endorsed legislation, to be drawn up later, to break the logjam of confirmations of presidential appointments by reducing by as much as a third the number of appointees subject to Senate approval. Senators were emphatic in their votes against limiting the filibuster, a treasured right of minorities trying to prevent majorities from running roughshod over them. Many Democrats, while now in the majority, envisioned a day, perhaps as early as after the 2012 election, when they would return to the minority.

Social Security will post nearly $600 billion in deficits over the next decade as the economy struggles to recover and millions of baby boomers stand at the brink of retirement, according to new congressional projections. This year alone, Social Security is projected to collect $45 billion less in payroll taxes than it pays out in retirement, disability and survivor benefits, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. That figure swells to $130 billion when a new one-year cut in payroll taxes is included, though Congress has promised to repay any lost revenue from the tax cut. Last year, Social Security posted its first deficit since the program was last overhauled in the 1980s. The CBO said at the time that Social Security would post surpluses for a few more years before permanently slipping into deficits in 2016. But the new projections show nothing but red ink until the Social Security trust funds are exhausted in 2037. 2 | CHICAGO

High court: Emanuel can run for mayor Illinois’ highest court put Rahm Emanuel back in the race for Chicago mayor Thursday, three days after a lower court threw the former White House chief of staff off the ballot because he had not lived in the city for a full year. The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Emanuel’s favor, with a majority of justices concluding that the earlier decision was “without any foundation” in the law because it said a candidate must be physically present in Chicago. “As I said from the beginning, I think the voters deserve the right to make the choice of who should be mayor,” Emanuel said shortly after getting word of the high court’s action. “I’m relieved for the city. I’m relieved for the voters because they need the certainty that’s important for them.” Emanuel lived for nearly two years in Washington working for President Barack Obama. He moved back to Chicago in October, after Mayor Richard M. Daley announced he would not seek another term, and soon became the heavy favorite to lead the nation’s third-largest city. He has also raised more money than any other candidate. 3 | BAGHDAD

Bomb strikes funeral, killing 48 A car bomb exploded outside a funeral tent Thursday in a mainly Shiite area of Baghdad, killing at least 48 people — the latest in a wave of attacks that has triggered fury over the government’s inability to stop the bloodshed. As ambulances raced to the scene and Iraqi helicopters buzzed overhead, young men enraged over the security lapse pelted Iraqi forces with sticks and stones, prompting skirmishes. The violence over the past week and a half has mainly targeted the majority Shiite community and Iraqi security forces, posing a major challenge for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his fragile coalition government that was seated last month.

Perhaps in a nod to a Republican-dominated state government, she detailed how many KU academic programs — including those in the liberal arts — contributed to the state’s economy. Graduates entering an everchanging world will need to lean on the knowledge of history, culture and knowledge of human thought and behavior to succeed, she said.

The measure is before the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee. Chairwoman Pat Colloton, R-Leawood, said

Jay Carney, who built a career covering politics and presidents before joining the White House himself, on Thursday became President Barack Obama’s choice as his next press secretary and chief defender. A broad, weeks-long shakeup of the administration settled into place as Obama sought to rejuvenate and reshape his staff for the rest of his term. The naming of a new press secretary means Americans will be seeing a new face all over TV coverage and in newspapers on behalf of Obama: Carney, 45, who looks the part but has never done a stint behind any briefing room podium. He spent two decades as a journalist for Time magazine, including as a White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief, before changing career paths to become Vice President Joe Biden’s communications director in 2008. Sometime in the next few weeks, Carney will replace Robert Gibbs, who served as Obama’s spokesman, friend and trusted counselor in the White House.

KU chancellor announces plans on how to draw, keep students By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little unveiled new initiatives designed to help recruit and retain students in her State of the University speech Thursday. One such initiative would change the way KU allocates its scholarships and would aim to create more four-year scholarships designed to recruit talented students. “Scholarships are one of our best tools for recruiting outstanding students,” Gray-Little said. “But for too long many scholarships have been reserved for students who are already at KU.” After the speech, she acknowledged that a shift in the way KU would allocate its scholarship funds would be “a huge change,” and that many other universities have been able to compete successfully with KU

for students because the university didn’t have as many scholarships for new students. She, like other KU leaders in recent Gray-Little months, also mentioned that KU is lagging behind its peers in the prestigious Association of American Universities. “I do not believe that these deficiencies reflect a decline in quality at KU, but rather the more rapid pace of advancement at comparable universities,” Gray-Little said. Still, regardless of the reason, she said that KU had work to do, and that change was under way. She mentioned other ongoing initiatives, including efforts to update KU’s general education requirements, to create a new system to measure faculty

A meeting about light turned up some heavy discussion Thursday evening in the cafeteria of Lawrence High School, 1901 La. Seventy-five members of the tennis community and the neighborhood attended in hopes of voicing their opinions on a proposal that would bring recreational lights to the tennis courts near the Lawrence Virtual School off Greever Terrace. The lights have become a hotbutton issue. Members in support of the proposal want more lighted courts, while residents

in opposition worry the lights will decrease property values and disrupt normally peaceful evenings with excessive light and noise. Representatives from Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department briefly discussed the issues before opening the floor to questions and concerns. Lawrence resident Mark Gridley spoke his mind in front of the crowd, receiving many nods of approval from those listening intently. “The neighborhood association has been burned over and over with the promise of expensive lighting,” Gridley said. “Then up goes the cheap lighting, the spill goes everywhere and it’s too late. It’s already up.”

Gridley said he felt the lights from the courts, which would turn off at 10 p.m., would keep residents from sleeping and pollute the view of the stars. According to the Parks and Recreation Department, Lawrence has seven lighted and 15 unlighted courts available. In 2009, the numbers were reversed before construction moved eight of the courts from LHS to their current Greever Terrace location. The lack of lighted tennis facilities has limited the time and number of league and tournament activities the local tennis community has been able to provide. “It’s one of the classy sports,” said Kay Pettit, a zoning and codes officer. “The problem isn’t

a lack of courts, it’s a lack of lighted courts.” Resident and tennis enthusiast Jon Giullian attended the public meeting. “I try to sympathize with the neighbors,” Giullian said. “I try to put myself in their place. If it was my neighborhood, as far as the tennis courts are concerned, I’d look at it as a positive thing.” Comments from affected residents will be collected and reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Department before being presented to the City Commission for further review. No timetable has been set for the item to appear on the city agenda. — Reporter Joe Preiner can be reached at 832-6314.

What should the penalty be for drivers who leave the scene of an injury accident? Asked at Dillons, 1740 Mass.

Dan Wildcat, Haskell Indian Nations University professor, Lawrence “In general there should probably be a penalty that would involve some period of incarceration.”

Meghan McArthur, Amarr Garage Doors employee, Lawrence “I think they should have their license suspended for a year. It’s pretty harsh but it’s a pretty harsh crime.”

Topeka police said they had been in contact with Florida authorities, but police spokeswoman Kristen Veverka said there was no indication he was in Topeka. According to the TimesUnion, Florida police also think Shepard could be in Omaha, Neb. Friends of Schott said on Thursday that they were saddened by the news. Both of his parents, Susan K. Schott and John S. Schott, are Lawrence residents. According to his obituary, Schott earned a bachelor’s

• Lawrence police on Thursday said they had handled at least two recent reports of suspicious activity in North Lawrence. In both instances, men said they were repairmen, but companies indicated they had no one in the area. At 2 p.m. Jan. 19, a man entered a residence in the 400 block of North Street, and when he was confronted he said he was a heating and cooling repairman, but local companies told authorities they did not have anyone in the area. The man was described as a white male in his 30s about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 150 pounds. Also at 7 p.m. Monday two men went to a residence in the 700 block of Locust Street and said they worked for Dish Network. They were described as two white men, one in his mid-30s and one in his mid-40s. The younger man was 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a slender build, and the older man was 5 feet, 6 inches tall and was heavy set. Police urged anyone who may have seen the men to call the department at 785-832-7509.

Families of victims in hit-and-runs want tougher laws CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

the committee will “work on this bill in an expeditious manner.” In the case of serious injury, the punishment for an offender with no criminal history would increase from the current range of five to seven months in prison to seven to nine months. Most would be sentenced to probation. In the case of a fatal accident, the punishment for an offender with no previous criminal history would increase from five to seven months to 31 to 34 months, and most would face prison time. Branson said that often drivers who are driving under the influence leave the scene of an accident in order to allow drugs or alcohol to dissipate from their system, making it impossible to prosecute for driving under the influence. Sarah Fertig, executive director of the Kansas Sentencing Commission, said that if enacted, the tougher penalties would probably result in four more people

going to prison in the next fiscal year. House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said, “There is a deficiency in Kansas law here. Right now in Kansas, a drunk driver can operate a vehicle, kill an individual through reckless driving, flee the scene of an accident and not do one single day of prison time.” Committee member Robert Brookens, R-Marion, questioned whether the bill would cause more people to stay at the scene of an accident. “Do you truly think we will encourage more people to stop than are currently, or is this a punishment bill?” Brookens asked. And others questioned whether the state would be imprisoning some people, such as young drivers, simply because they panicked and fled. Karen Wittman, an assistant attorney general, said the bill would give courts wide discretion in whether to send someone to prison.

House resolution cites EPA ‘train wreck’ TOPEKA — The House Energy and Utilities Committee has introduced a resolution “opposing the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory train wreck.” House Resolution 6008 criticizes President Barack Obama’s administration’s efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and recommends that Congress prohibit EPA “by any means necessary” from regulating greenhouse gas. It recommends a two-year moratorium on new air-quality regulations, except those that directly address imminent health and environmental emergencies. The resolution proposes that funding be pulled from EPA’s air quality regulatory activities. It says EPA’s regulations are driving jobs and industry from the United States. In addition, the resolution urges the administration to conduct a study that provides a cost-benefit analysis of EPA’s current and planned regulations. EPA has said its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions represent a “commonsense” approach that follows both the law and science on climate change. If approved, the resolution would be sent to Congress.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Donation would improve library space By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A retired Kansas University distinguished professor has given $250,000 to renovate Spencer Research Library’s reading room and make improvements to its entryway. Marilyn Stokstad, a distinguished professor emerita of art history, said she wanted to give back to a place that she has used Stokstad again and again during her KU career, which began in 1958. “I have worked in Spencer Research Library as long as it’s existed,” she said, adding that she was also a friend of Helen F. Spencer, the library’s benefactor. The renovations will be immediately evident to most users of the library. One major change will move the library’s main service desk into its main entryway. And patrons will be able to access the reading room by immediately turning left and going through a room that currently serves as a sort of social gathering space. The reading room is an important place in Spencer Research Library, as most of

its materials aren’t in circulation, so researchers and students must examine them inside the library. Now, patrons have to navigate a series of hallways to get into the room, Stokstad said. “I’ve been a little dissatisfied in recent years with the entryway” of the reading room, she said. “It doesn’t immediately say this is a place to come in, work and do your research.” She said she hoped the renovations would make the library more inviting to students. Major researchers, she said, will likely fight through anything to get the information they need, but she said she hoped students would be encouraged to take advantage of the library’s many resources. The donation will also provide for improved furnishings, upgraded electrical infrastructure and a new service desk inside the reading room. Stokstad has also supported KU’s Spencer Museum of Art, the Hall Center for the Humanities, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Lied Center. Work on the renovation is scheduled to begin after the spring semester, and library officials plan to complete the work during the summer, when the library is used the

LMH Endowment celebrates donors By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital leaders celebrated the past year’s successes Thursday evening, but said they couldn’t have been accomplished without community support. “We would not be the outstanding community hospital that we are today without the support of our community and donors,” said Kathy Clausing-Willis, vice president and chief development officer. About 160 people attended the annual LMH Endowment Association meeting at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. in downtown Lawrence. The association transferred $1.6 million to the hospital in 2010, and that helped pay for equipment, services, medical education and research. About 1,900 people contributed to LMH last year. Clausing-Willis said every donation counts — from the children who donate money from birthday parties to the seniors who volunteer their time to the employees who donate 50 cents out of each paycheck.

Last year, 815 LMH employees raised $74,000. “It’s not about all of the big dollars. It’s about all of us collectively coming together to make Lawrence and our region a better place to live and to raise a family,” she said. A handful of individuals and businesses were recognized for their outstanding support to LMH. They were: ● Dr. Phillip and Phoebe Godwin, longtime LMH advocates and former employees. ● Donna Osness, who served on the LMH Board of Trustees for 12 years. ● Allyson Leland, who is director of volunteer services and has held the position since it was created 20 years ago. ● Byron Springer of Barber Emerson, for serving, pro bono, as the general counsel for LMHEA for 40 years. ● Zarco, a longtime LMH advocate and donor of time and money.

Internet down, counter-terror unit up in Egypt By Hamza Hendawi and Sarah El Deeb Associated Press Writers

CAIRO — Internet service in Egypt was disrupted and the government deployed an elite special operations force in Cairo today, hours before an anticipated new wave of anti-government protests. The developments were a sign that President Hosni Mubarak’s regime was toughening its crackdown following the biggest protests in years against his nearly 30-year rule. The counter-terror force, rarely seen on the streets, took up positions in strategic locations, including central Tahrir Square, site of the biggest demonstrations this week. Facebook and Twitter have helped drive this week’s protests. But by Thursday evening, those sites were disrupted, along with cell phone text messaging and BlackBerry Messenger services. Then the Internet went down. Earlier, the grass-roots movement got a double boost — the return of Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei and the backing of the biggest

opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood. After midnight, security forces arrested at least five Brotherhood leaders and five former Members of Parliament, according to the group’s lawyer, Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maksoud, and spokesman, Walid Shalaby. They said security forces had also taken a large number of Brotherhood members in a sweep in Cairo and elsewhere. The real test for the protest movement will be whether Egypt’s fragmented opposition can come together, with today’s rallies expected to be some of the biggest so far. Social networking sites were abuzz that the gatherings called after today’s prayers could attract huge numbers of protesters demanding the ouster of Mubarak. Millions gather at mosques across the city on Fridays, giving organizers a vast pool of people to tap into. The 82-year-old Mubarak has not been seen in public or heard from since the protests began Tuesday with tens of thousands marching in Cairo and a string of other cities.

While he may still have a chance to ride out this latest challenge, his choices are limited, and all are likely to lead to a loosening of his grip on power. Violence escalated on Thursday at protests outside the capital. In the flashpoint city of Suez, along the strategic Suez Canal, protesters torched a fire station and looted weapons that they then turned on police. The Interior Ministry said in a statement that more than 90 police officers were injured in those clashes. There were no immediate figures on the number of injured protesters. In the northern Sinai area of Sheik Zuweid, several hundred Bedouins and police exchanged gunfire, killing a 17-year-old. About 300 protesters surrounded a police station from rooftops of nearby buildings and fired two rocket-propelled grenades at it, damaging the walls. Video of the shooting of the teenager, Mohamed Attef, was supplied to a local journalist and obtained by AP Television News. Attef crumpled to the ground after being

shot on the street. He was alive as fellow protesters carried him away but later died. The United States, Mubarak’s main Western backer, has been publicly counseling reform and an end to the use of violence against protesters, signs the Egyptian leader may no longer be enjoying Washington’s full backing. In an interview broadcast live on YouTube, President Barack Obama said the antigovernment protests filling the streets show the frustrations of Egypt’s citizens. “It is very important that people have mechanisms in order to express their grievances,” Obama said. Noting that Mubarak has been “an ally of ours on a lot of critical issues,” Obama added: “I’ve always said to him that making sure that they’re moving forward on reform, political reform and economic reform, is absolutely critical to the long-term well-being of Egypt.” “And you can see these pent-up frustrations that are being displayed on the streets,” Obama said.

WASHINGTON — A government panel’s failure to reach a firm conclusion about what caused the financial crisis shows how complex Wall Street has become and how partisan Washington has grown. The blurriness of its report comes months after a new law already has begun tightening financial rules to prevent another crisis. All of which raises a question: Do the findings of the 633-page report matter? In its report, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission blames a range of obvious culprits: Banks that made reckless bets. Credit rating agencies that endorsed risky mortgage bonds. Government regulators who overlooked danger signs until they threatened the global financial system. It concludes that the crisis might have been prevented if banks had been more careful and regulators had asked tougher questions. Those views have long since become mainstream in the more than two years since the crisis peaked. Yet among panel members, they sowed dissension. In the end, the commission’s six Democratic appointees embraced its conclusions. The four named by Republicans did not; they offered their own reasons for the crisis — and three complained that the majority’s conclusions were too broad. The absence of a sharp and unifying message dulls the report’s impact, analysts say. “If only one side is picking and pulling different facts and trying to weave them

Report: Fugitive planned suicide by bear FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. — A convicted killer who escaped from an Arizona prison said after his capture that he had planned to overdose on heroin at Yellowstone National Park and let bears eat him to end the fear and panic he was experiencing while on the lam. Tracy Province told Mohave County sheriff’s Detective Larry Matthews that he had wanted to go up on a mountain, shoot up a gram of heroin and “be bear food.” As he was preparing the drug, a voice told him not to go through with the plan, and he changed course in favor of trying to hitchhike to Indiana to see family. “He called it divine intervention,” Matthews wrote in an August report. Al Nash, a spokesman at Yellowstone National Park, said it’s certainly possible that Province’s plan would have worked, but it struck him as improbable. “We have a fair number of bears in the ecosystem,” Nash said. “They eat about anything. A bear would rather get an easy meal than a difficult meal, but human bear encounters are very infrequent.”

“

If only one side is picking and pulling different facts and trying to weave them into a narrative, you don’t end up with a cohesive final product that’s useful in policymaking.” — Paul Atkins, a former member of the Securities and Exchange Commission into a narrative, you don’t end up with a cohesive final product that’s useful in policymaking,” said Paul Atkins, a former member of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report’s conclusions are also too generic to help steer regulators who have been writing rules for the financial overhaul law enacted last summer, Atkins said. The crisis panel has been likened to the Pecora Commission, which investigated the cause of the 1929 stock market crash. It’s also drawn comparisons to the independent panel that investigated the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Yet those reports were

more influential than the financial crisis report is likely to be. The Pecora hearings were held before Congress debated securities laws aimed at protecting investors in the future. And the 9/11 commission crafted conclusions that managed to command a unanimous backing from appointees of both political parties. By contrast, the financial crisis report “is either too late or it’s too early,” said Daniel Alpert, managing partner at the investment bank Westwood Capital LLC. A year ago, the report might have shaped the new financial rules now taking effect. Alternatively, if the commissioners had waited a few years, they might have been able to detect flaws in the new financial regulations and suggest improvements. “The report is going to sit on people’s credenzas until we need to come up with additional policy alternatives” for the next potential crisis, Alpert said. The timing was largely out of the commissioners’ hands. The original deadline of Dec. 15, 2010, was in the law that created the panel. That’s a full year after the House

Corpus Christi Catholic School Information Day

voted on the financial regulatory measure. By then, the commission had only just begun to interview 700 witnesses, review millions of pages of documents and hold 19 days of hearings. Even if the panel had finished its work much earlier, the partisanship that divided the commissioners would have limited their ability to shape the regulatory overhaul. The Republicanappointed members didn’t even show up for the commission’s news conference presenting its final report. Even members of the same party couldn’t agree. One dissent by Republican commissioners blamed a global credit bubble fed by low interest rates. A separate lone dissent pointed a finger at policies that were intended to encourage homeownership. These included the government’s support of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The panel has referred cases of possible criminal wrongdoing to the Justice Department for investigation.

To the stars Even in difficult times, Kansans should never forget the challenge the state’s founders left us to overcome difficulty and reach for the stars.

“A

d Astra Per Aspera” is Latin for “to the stars through difficulty.” The founders of Kansas who chose that phrase as the official state motto must have suspected that the trials that had been part of the state’s entry into the Union wouldn’t be the last challenges faced by the 34th state. On Saturday, Kansas will mark its 150th birthday. During those 150 years the state and those who call it home often have reached for the stars and built a proud heritage for Kansas. Amid the pre-Civil War fight over slavery, the U.S. Senate rejected three constitutions to make Kansas a state before accepting the Wyandotte Constitution in 1861. By that time, southern states were beginning to secede from the Union and take their U.S. senators with them. According to information supplied by the Kansas State Historical Society, senators from Mississippi, Alabama and Florida withdrew from Congress on Jan. 21, 1861. The constitution bringing Kansas into the Union as a free state was approved later that same day. Since then, the state often has taken a leading role in national affairs. The original Kansas Constitution included unusual provisions for the time giving women equal rights over their children and property. That provision led naturally to Kansas becoming the first state to give women the right to vote in municipal elections in 1887. Kansas elected the first woman mayor and first woman sheriff, as well as the first female U.S. senator elected in her own right without succeeding her husband, Nancy Landon Kassebaum. Kansas has sent many notable leaders to Washington, including President Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole. It has produced leaders in fields ranging from aviation to entertainment. It’s had its share of colorful characters like Carry Nation and John Brinkley, the “goat gland doctor.” It’s been home to astronauts, artists, actors, adventurers and astronomers. And don’t forget those in athletics, including Kansas transplants James Naismith and Forrest “Phog” Allen, who brought basketball to the state and nation. Life hasn’t always been easy in Kansas. Pioneers settling across the state did battle with Mother Nature on a regular basis, living through the Dust Bowl and simply meeting the day-to-day challenges of living on the prairie. A number of Kansas communities have had to rise from the devastation caused by major tornadoes. All of the state has had to live with the tornado stigma immortalized in “The Wizard of Oz.” Throughout it all, Kansas has persevered. Like most other states, Kansas now faces financial challenges that are forcing difficult political and philosophical decisions. The decisions government leaders make are guaranteed to make at least some Kansans unhappy. At such a time, it’s good to remember that Kansas has faced challenges before and still found an ability to reach for the stars. On its 150th birthday, the state and its residents should celebrate the tenacity of a state that was founded amid turmoil and has produced a people full of talents ready and willing to address whatever difficulties history has to throw at us. Happy birthday, Kansas!

U.S. must refocus, cut military spending WASHINGTON — Last week we celebrated the anniversary of President Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural address, with its ringing call to “pay any price, bear any burden” for the nation’s security. But a better guide to the choices we face today is President Eisenhower’s farewell address, delivered three days earlier, and his call to restrain the “militaryindustrial complex.” Trimming the defense budget is one of the hardest tasks in Washington. Congress never met a weapons system it didn’t like. But with the nation’s debt problems, making sensible cuts has become essential. That’s clear to Defense Secretary Bob Gates and the military leadership, even if Congress is still treating the Pentagon budget as a pork barrel. Senior Pentagon officials recognize that new technologies make it possible to reshape the budget without putting the country at greater risk. But this transition will require an honest evaluation of the “legacy systems” — the squadrons of manned bombers and fighters, the fleets of aircraft carriers, cruisers and submarines — that are wrapped in red, white and blue. The military loves these traditional instruments of American power, despite their immense cost. But as technologies change, they will gradually become as outmoded as a cannonball or a cavalry charge. Defense analysts argue that the military needs to focus less on fancy platforms — its nuclear ships or supersonic jets. These systems will soon be vulnerable

to attack from lasers and other directed-energy weapons. But more important, the platforms will matter less than what they carry. This is the age of “unmanned aerial vehicles” — and soon unmanned ships, subs and tanks, too. These simple, autonomous platforms will be cheaper and more robust but no less deadly to an adversary. If the Obama administration seizes this opportunity, and drives it through the inevitable congressional opposition, it can begin a real transformation of the defense budget. Technology should allow the U.S. to cut costs for traditional legacy systems as it prepares for the new threats that are ahead. The new technologies that will

drive these changes are detailed in a study called “Technology Horizons” that was prepared last year by Werner Dahm, who was then chief scientist of the Air Force. He urged research on “cyber resilience” and “electromagnetic spectrum warfare,” including lasers and other beam weapons. And he stressed that unmanned systems, coordinated by advanced software, can give “operational advantages over adversaries who are limited to human planning and decision speeds.” Lasers are only a few years away from being practical weapons, Pentagon officials say. Ground-based lasers could revolutionize air defense, and a new generation of solid-state lasers may be small enough for airborne platforms. “Directed-energy systems will be among the key ‘game-changing’ technologyenabled capabilities,” wrote Dahm. Space will become, metaphorically, a vulnerable “low ground” in this new environment. Powerful ground-based lasers will be able to blind or disable satellites, so redundant forms of communication will be needed. So will alternatives to platforms that depend on space-based “global positioning system (GPS)” technology. Though our “Buck Rogers” fantasies make us think of lasers primarily as offensive weapons, experts say they will be just as useful for surveillance — illuminating targets with pinpoint digital precision (when clouds aren’t in the way). Researchers are

developing laser-driven airdefense systems that can instantly detect and then strike incoming missiles. This is a technology revolution that, among other things, could actually make Israel safe from missile and rocket attack. The hard part of this defense transformation will be giving up the grand old systems that for generations have symbolized U.S. military power. But that process of shedding the past is absolutely essential. If we try to keep all the old systems and add the new ones, our already overstretched budget will rip apart like a gunnysack. The Pentagon knows it can’t have it all; hopefully members of Congress (who love to bloviate about cutting the budget but hate cutting actual programs) will get the message, too. President Obama has the right team in place to begin this strategic downsizing of the defense budget. Gates has been an outspoken advocate of cutting programs we can’t afford, and he has strong backing from Adm. Mike Mullen and Gen. James Cartwright, the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The military brass knows the country won’t be secure if it’s broke. In this season of budget politics, there can’t be any sacred cows. Obama and his Pentagon advisers need to show the country that by changing how we spend money, it will be possible to cut our defense budget and stay safe. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 28, 1911: YEARS “The rankest AGO proposition that has IN 1911 ever been put up to the rural patrons of the Lawrence post office now comes from the Kansas City Journal and Times, which want the rural carriers held in Lawrence until about 9 o’clock in order that the train on the Southern Kansas may bring to Lawrence the morning Kansas City papers. The fact that an accumulation of mail from fifteen or more mail trains would be delayed for at least two hours and that the carriers would return to Lawrence too late to catch the fast mails east, means nothing to these newspapers who have always tried to fatten upon the people of Kansas.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Costly changes

Back to ‘Liberty’

To the editor: “Protect the Vote” is a nationwide effort. Lawyers across the country monitor polls on election day to ensure election law is followed. I was the Kansas Democratic Party Voter Protection chairperson for 2010. I know of no cases of any individual in Kansas knowingly trying to vote fraudulently. No measurable, material nor actionable voter fraud exists in Kansas. Yet, Kris Kobach pushes new election laws. Numbered identification cards, the need for birth certificates to obtain identification cards, payment of fees to obtain the cards, and transferring the power to enforce the law from trained prosecutors to Mr. Kobach are among his proposed changes. Printing new training materials, retraining poll workers and educating the public is mandatory and costs money. Who will pay for this and how much will it cost? Doesn’t Mr. Kobach trust our county election officials to follow the registration laws? Does he believe our county prosecutors and the attorney general are incapable of prosecuting illegal actions? Kansans need to know the cost of these proposed changes. Kobach’s rules bring more, not less, state power, duplicate services and hand us another bill to pay. Margie Wakefield, Lawrence

To the editor: I am asking the school board to reinstate the name of “Liberty Memorial” as part of the new name for the present Central Junior High. This building was built and dedicated in 1922 as a memorial for 19 Lawrence soldiers who died in World War I. Two large bronze plaques display the names of these 19 soldiers on each side of the auditorium’s stage. The wall above the stage displays an engraving of a portion of Kipling’s “The King’s Pilgrimage.” The name “Liberty Memorial High School” is engraved in masonry above the main entrance of the building. In recognition of this school building’s 75th anniversary on Sept. 27, 1998, the building was remembered in a ceremony as the Liberty Memorial High School building. Mary Gordon, a former teacher in the district, and her committee led the ceremony. One of the 19 soldiers named on the plaques, Cpl. Everett DeMerritt, was an uncle of Mary Gordon and her sister, local historian Martha Parker. Another soldier named on the plaques, Lt. Harry Ziesenis, was an uncle of Richard Ziesenis, who lives in Eudora. There has been some objection to the name changes because of the expense. There will be some expense to change the name from “junior high” to “middle school.” Adding “Liberty

Memorial” to just one school will not be a significant expense. It should have been Liberty Memorial Junior High when its status was changed from senior high school to junior high school. Alan Fisher, Lawrence

Helpful ‘spark’ To the editor: We, too, love our great neighbors and neighborhood. We want to especially thank “Sparky” Patterson for always being there for all of us after each snow with his snowblower, cleaning off our driveways, sidewalks and also the “milelong sidewalk” that backs up to Princeton Avenue. His name fits him; he is the “spark” of the neighborhood and we hope he knows how much we all appreciate him! How lucky are we to live in Lawrence and in such a great neighborhood. Bob and Carol Weigel and the residents of the “Cottages” Lawrence

Insist on jobs To the editor: Does anyone reading this want to be without a job? I say it is better to keep local people on the payroll. In spite of what some powers-that-be and our governor think, it is not good for our local economies to lay people off or terminate them. We need people working to keep money in our local banks and credit unions.

The fewer people working in our community and state, the more likely our fees and taxes are to increase. More tax revenue cannot be generated with fewer Kansans on the job. Let’s encourage our elected officials to keep people on the payroll. Even if we need to pay a little more. Instead of further flooding the residential markets, let’s put people to work rebuilding our sidewalks, bridges, curbs and streets and create new walking paths throughout our communities that benefit the many. New walking paths and rebuilt sidewalks could do a lot toward the obesity problem we are reminded of frequently. People on the jobs also keep our local economies, local credit unions and local banks healthy as well. Yes, I would rather my taxes be spent keeping people in Kansas on the job, rather than to afford more tax cuts for the wealthy or to big government corporate welfare. Richard Heckler, Lawrence

Lobbyists report record spending TOPEKA — A successful effort to prevent a new tax in Kansas on soda and other sugary drinks pushed corporate and interest group spending on lobbying state government to a record $1.41 million last year, a new report showed this week. Figures compiled by the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission show that lobbyists’ spending jumped 20 percent in 2010, compared to 2009, fueled by media advertising campaigns on issues such as the proposed soda tax and successful legislation to ban smoking in most public places. The American Beverage Association was by far the leader, reporting spending of almost $394,000, most of it on a radio and newspaper advertising campaign in April to build public opposition to imposing the new soda tax to help balance the state budget. The previous record for lobbyist spending was $1.33 million, set in 2008. The figure for 2009 was about $1.18 million. The figures don’t include lobbyists’ salaries or administrative expenses, or travel and lodging expenses that companies and groups incur to bring lobbyists to Topeka, so reports compiled by the ethics commission probably underestimate total spending.

FIREBIRD WINTER CLASSIC

Free State slips past Scots By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Free State High’s Kennedy Kirkpatrick always seems to be smiling on the court. And if Thursday night’s game is any indication, the sophomore is right at ease even with the game on the line. Kirkpatrick sunk four free throws in the game’s f inal minute, including a pair with 5.4 seconds remaining, to propel the Firebirds to a 53-50 Free State win over High- plays land Park in Shawnee their opening Heights at game of the 11th 8:15 tonight. Firebird Winter Classic at FSHS. “I just went up there and (told myself) I needed to have confidence to knock them down,” Kirkpatrick said. In the game’s waning seconds, Kirkpatrick — who led the way with 16 points, six assists and four rebounds — pulled down a late miss and was fouled on the ensuing inbound play with FSHS on top, 51-50. A big smile still on her face, she calmly stepped to the line and hit the first, before coach Bryan Duncan called a quick timeout to draw up a final defensive play. “I literally asked her, ‘Kennedy, can I freeze you?’” Duncan joked after the game. The timeout didn’t faze Kirkpatrick, who was a perfect 6-for6 from the line, as she sunk the following free throw and Brajaun Carr missed a desperation three at the buzzer. “Coaching is easy when you have kids who can make free throws like that late in the game,” said Duncan of Free State’s 15for-24 output from the line. It was apparent early that the back-and-forth game would be a close one, as the Firebirds carried a 25-21 lead to the break after a scrappy, foul-laden first half.

CAPITAL CITY CLASSIC

LHS cools off after hot start against Vikings By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

TOPEKA — After urging his team to get off to a good start for the last couple games, Lawrence High girls basketball coach Nick Wood finally got what he wanted on Thursday against Topeka Seaman. Problem was, the Lions couldn’t maintain their solid start. Senior Tamiya Green scored the first six points of the game before Seaman coach Steve Alexander called a timeout. The Vikings scored the next 12, taking a six-point lead and winning, 4627, in the first round of the Capital City Classic at Washburn Rural.

UP NEXT Fifth-seeded Lawrence High plays eighth-seeded Wichita North at 6 p.m. today. Wood said his team did a great job getting the ball inside to Green to open the game. “Then we just kind of let our offense sputter a little bit, tried to rush some things, and didn’t take our time to get into our offense and get into our flow,” Wood said. “We got a little too rushed.” The second quarter didn’t go much better. Green added another basket in the paint, but the rest

of the Lions were held scoreless in the first half. Seaman (6-5) took a 20-8 lead into halftime. The Lions (3-7) started to execute better offensively in the second half, especially when they slowed it down and ran offense. Wood wants his team to push the ball in transition to try to create an advantage, but he thought his players could have done a better job of re-evaluating after the fast-break opportunity disappeared. The Lions had 16 turnovers. If the team is patient, he said, everything else will fall into place. “Other girls will step up,” Wood said. “I know they will.”

One of them certainly did. Sophomore Anna Wright, who had no varsity experience coming into Thursday’s game, scored seven points off the bench in the fourth quarter to bring the Lions within eight. Her first varsity points came on a three-point play. Wood said Wright simply knows how to score. She hit 3-of4 shots. “It’s probably my fault for not getting her in earlier,” Wood said. “She came in and did an awesome job.” John Young/Journal-World Photo Wright was one of three scorers for the Lions.

Titans part ways with coach Fisher NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) — In a surprising move, the Tennessee Titans have parted ways with Jeff Fisher, who just completed his 16th full season as the NFL’s longest-tenured coach. The team said in a release Thursday night that “Fisher will no longer be the head coach of the team.” The Titans announced the move within an hour of a report by SI.com that they were negotiating Fisher’s departure. Though Fisher had been derided locally as “Coach .500” or “Coacho Ocho,” he seemingly had just survived a battle with quarterback

Vince Young. Adams decided to either release Young or trade him on Jan. 5. The owner announced two days later that he would be keeping Fisher. Fisher and Young never really jelled in f ive seasons Fisher together after the Titans drafted the former Texas standout with the third overall pick in 2006 under orders from Adams. The relationship

frayed even as Fisher publicly defended Young until Nov. 21 when the situation exploded. Young tossed his shoulder pads and other equipment into the stands after an overtime loss in which the quarterback suffered a season-ending injury. Running back Chris Johnson said Wednesday while practicing in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl he didn’t think Fisher or Young could work together after “it hit the fan.” In the end, neither Fisher nor Young survived with the Titans. Even though Adams announced

By Drew Sharp Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — The historic launching of the University of Texas’ own 24-hour sports cable network is as much an affirmation of enormous ego as it is commerce. Texas wanted to be the first athletic conglomerate on the block with its own channel. But it’s also another indication of the continuing devaluation of conference affiliation. We knew The Longhorn Network was coming soon. It’s why Texas rejected a formal offer to join an expanded Pac-10 last year and wouldn’t seriously consider joining the Big Ten. Those conferences wouldn’t permit the richest athletic department in the land a grossly disproportionate slice of the vast and still expanding national television revenue pie. Texas officially became an “independent” with this exclusive network deal. The Big 12 is nothing more than a convenient scheduling partner for the Longhorns now. How long before the Big Ten gets caught in the ripple effects? How long before Ohio State, the second-biggest revenue producer in all college sports, envisions its own exclusive “Buckeye Network” and seeks a spinoff from the Big Ten Network? The NCAA must look closely at an exclusive 24-hour channel tied to one institution. It’s basically a paid commercial for the school. Texas already enjoyed a tremendous recruiting advantage over its closest neighbors, especially in football and basketball. But does 24 hours of “Hook ’Em Horns” constitute an unfair recruiting advantage? It further tips the competitive scales in the favor of those with the deepest pockets. But Texas’ attitude is “If you can’t beat us, tough. Try to join us.” The Longhorns’ 20-year, $300-million deal with ESPN, which will nationally distribute the network, reportedly dwarfs Notre Dame’s exclusive contract with NBC by about $6 million annually. It’ll be hard for the other big boys — or at least those who kid themselves into believing that they’re one of the big boys — to ignore. For instance, ESPN’s agreement with the SEC allows for individual universities to develop their own exclusive channels. How does Gator TV sound in Florida or The SIGN (Saban Is God Network) in Alabama? Auburn’s network could create its own version of the game show “The Price Is Right” starring the fathers of prospective football recruits. This mad gold rush first began with the clairvoyant Big Ten Network three and a half years ago. Commissioner Jim Delany and the university presidents smartly foresaw the revenue potential in owning as much of its broadcast content as possible. It worked initially because the conference sold all parties large and small on the virtue of equal revenue sharing. But Texas’ Longhorn Network just changed the rules for the next five years. Forget your conference partners. It’s now every big dog for itself.

he was sticking with Fisher for the final year of his contract, the move meant Fisher would be coaching for his future in 2011. Fisher has repeatedly said he wanted to finish his career with the franchise, but the coach known for never losing his cool in public while hiding behind his sunglasses may have decided Adams’ decision wasn’t good enough. A team spokesman did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. Fisher did not answer a message left on his cell, and his agent also did not respond to messages from the AP.

Woods begins new year at 3-under SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods began his new season with no bogeys, no birdies on the par 5s and no drama. Looking for a new start after a disastrous year on and off the golf course, Woods felt little stress Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open with a 3-under 69 on the North Course that left him five shots behind South Korean rookie Sunghoon Kang. If the setting was familWoods iar for Woods, so was his middle-of-the-pack position. In four of his six wins at this tournament, he has been at least five shots behind after the opening round. “I’m happy with the way I played, absolutely,” Woods said. “I could have been a lot better if I took care of the par 5s a little bit more, but obviously, I didn’t do that.”

TENNIS Federer knocked out, too MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — First Rafael Nadal, now Roger Federer. Federer, the 16-time Grand Slam winner, was knocked out of the Australian Open 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-4 Thursday by 2008 champion Novak Djokovic. Nadal was aiming for his fourth straight Grand Slam win and Federer was going for his fifth Australian title. Instead, Nadal was eliminated by fellow Spaniard David Ferrer and Federer is heading home. Djokovic will face Andy Murray or Ferrer in the final — they play today.

Coming into this season with a chance for an unprecedented fourth “three-peat” and his second with the Lakers, Jackson at the time called the 2010-11 campaign his “last stand.” In an interview Thursday with ESPN-Los Angeles, Jackson said, “Most everybody believes I’m not going to fulfill this ’last stand’ promise and I will come back and coach again but it really is (my last season). I really want to do this for myself.”

Wade’s tinted goggles rejected NEW YORK — Dwyane Wade will not get the migraine relief he sought from the NBA, after all. The league rejected the tinted goggles that the Miami Heat guard planned to wear in Thursday night’s game against the New York Knicks, saying they were too dark.

Curry lifts No. 3 Duke past B.C. The Associated Press

No. 3 Duke 84, Boston College 68 DURHAM, N.C. — Seth Curry pulled up in transition, knocked down a three-pointer and then flashed that familiar, babyfaced grin. He looked a lot like his famous big brother, Stephen, of the Golden State Warriors. “You’re hitting big shots, you’re having fun out there,” Curry said. “It’s hard not to show it.” Curry scored a season-high 20 points in his return to Duke’s starting lineup, leading the Blue Devils past Boston College on Thursday. Nolan Smith finished with 28 points while Kyle Singler had 14 for the Blue Devils (191, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who shot 50 percent from the field, hit 10 threepointers and used a huge Curry-led run early in the second half to claim their fourth straight win. Corey Raji scored 18 points for BC (14-7, 4-3). BOSTON COLLEGE (14-7) Raji 7-12 2-4 18, Trapani 6-13 0-0 14, Southern 3-7 0-1 6, Paris 4-12 0-0 11, Elmore 4-5 2-2 10, Jackson 3-11 1-2 7, Moton 0-0 0-0 0, Rubin 0-0 00 0, Dunn 1-1 0-0 2.

No. 19 Vanderbilt 81, Mississippi St. 74 STARKVILLE, MISS. — In five trips to Humphrey Coliseum, Kevin Stallings had known only misery. But thanks to Jeffery Taylor’s heroics on Thursday night, the Vanderbilt coach can finally leave Starkville a happy man. Taylor scored 25 points, including a crucial dunk in the final minute, and John Jenkins added 21 as Vanderbilt rallied for a victory over Mississippi State. “It feels great to finally see Coach leave here with a grin,” Taylor said. “We had to work really hard for that one. But when we got down, we didn’t panic, we just became more aggressive and took the win.” The Commodores (15-4, 3-2 SEC) won at Humphrey Coliseum for the first time since 1993, breaking a streak of eight straight losses in Starkville. Vanderbilt trailed by as many as nine, but used a 12-0 run late in the second half.

Indiana 52, No. 20 Illinois 49 BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Jordan Hulls had the big game. Tom Pritchard had the big play. Together, they set off the wildest celebration in Bloomington in years. Hulls scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, and Pritchard tipped in a missed shot with 44.2 seconds to go, giving Indiana an upset of Illinois. The victory ended a 19game losing streak against ranked opponents for Indiana (11-10, 2-6 Big Ten). Mike Davis scored 14 points to lead Illinois (14-7, 4-4), which has lost four of five and failed to win its third straight in Bloomington. And it was every bit as tough as it looked. Hulls, who started the game with a wrap on his right knee, finished it with a bandage on his right temple and tape around his right forearm. Fans rushed the court, jumping up and down at midcourt. ILLINOIS (14-7) Davis 7-14 0-0 14, Cole 1-4 0-0 2, Tisdale 2-10 34 8, Richardson 2-6 0-0 5, McCamey 2-11 0-0 6, Paul 1-5 2-2 5, Leonard 0-1 0-0 0, Richmond 4-8 1-2 9. Totals 19-59 6-8 49.

Michigan 61, No. 25 Michigan St. 57 EAST LANSING , M ICH . — Michigan made enough shots and stops to win at Michigan State. Finally. Zack Novak scored 19 points and Stu Douglass made a big three-pointer with 20 seconds left, lifting the Wolverines to a victory over the Spartans. Douglass’ three from the right wing — his only one in four attempts — gave Michigan a five-point lead that essentially sealed the win. “He’s made some big shots, but none like that,” coach John Beilein said. The Wolverines (12-9, 2-6 Big Ten) had lost six straight games this season and 11 in a row at the Breslin Center, dating to 1997. “I think I was in first grade or second grade,” Novak said. “So it’s just sweet.” “It’s not a very good situation we’re in,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.

By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press Basketball Writer

WACO, TEXAS — The young stars come and go so quickly at Kentucky, with one group of one-year wonders followed by another. Until last year, Kansas had never even had a one-anddone player. This season, there is another Jayhawks player and more Wildcats who could go pro after only a year in college. Since the NBA five years ago started requiring prep players to wait one year after their graduating class to enter the draft, and made an age limit of 19, the number of oneand-done players has increased dramatically. Those rules could change after the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement expires this summer but wouldn’t affect this year’s freshmen. So here are some players who may not be in college much longer:

Jared Sullinger, Ohio State The man in the post for the undefeated and top-ranked Buckeyes has already been the Big Ten player of the week four times. The 6-foot-9 Sullinger is averaging 17.9 points and 10.2 rebounds and dominating at Ohio State much like he already had in Columbus — as the two-time winner of the Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball award in high school. Perry Jones, Baylor The Bears’ highest-rated recruit ever likely will become their first one-anddone player. He is projected by most to be a top-three NBA pick — maybe even No. 1 overall. “He was an unbelievable prospect and he’s becoming an unbelievable player,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. The 6-11 Texan shot 70 percent from the field in Baylor’s first six Big 12 games. Overall, Perry averages 13.9 points and 7.1 rebounds.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD JOSH SELBY (32) RUNS OVER Colorado guard Cory Higgins (11) on a drive on Jan. 25 in Boulder, Colo. Selby is a candidate to leave college for the NBA after this season. the SEC) and 8.9 rebounds. The 6-11 Kanter was ruled permanently ineligible without playing for Kentucky. The NCAA said he received benefits above actual and necessary expenses while playing for a club team in Turkey. No rules against him getting paid next season in the NBA.

Josh Selby, Kansas A year after Xavier Henry became the first Jayhawks player to leave after one season, Selby could follow with less time on the court. One of the nation’s top recruits, the 6-2 guard had to sit out Kansas’ first nine games and was f ined for accepting impermissible benefits related to his family’s association with Carmello Anthony’s business manager. He is averaging 11.8 points and three assists.

Kentucky trio: Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Enes Kanter (sort of). The Wildcats had three one-and-done players drafted last summer — John Wall (f irst overall), DeMarcus Cousins (fifth) and Eric Bledsoe (18th). This year Knight, the 6-3 guard, already has eight 20-point games and is Harrison Barnes, second on the team in scoring North Carolina to Jones, the 6-8 forward who Even before playing a game averages 18.3 points (third in for the Tar Heels, Barnes

became the first freshman since the 1986-87 season selected to The Associated Press preseason All-America team. Though his draft status has taken a hit while struggling with his shot and turnovers, Barnes made a goahead three-pointer in three of the last four North Carolina games.

Tristan Thompson, Texas The 6-8 Canadian, who got to the Lone Star State via Findlay Prep in Nevada, is an emerging big man with a soft touch around the basket. He is the Big 12’s top shotblocker (2.3 blocks per game), while averaging 13.1 points and 7.4 rebounds a game (fifth in the Big 12). He also leads the Longhorns with 23 steals. Teammate Corey Joseph could also be one-and-done. — AP Basketball Writers Jim O’Connell, Aaron Beard and Brian Mahoney, and AP Sports Writer Jim Vertuno in Austin, Texas, contributed to this report.

You could tell she was definitely loved and had a lot of friends.” A lighthearted moment came when Lisa’s age was discussed. “As a joke, she’s been telling everybody she’s 37 for about the last six years,” Self said. As far as second-grader Jayla’s state-of-mind, Self, who said the hand-written letter to Lisa was “very moving,” said: “She seems like she’s doing OK. She had a lot of people around her that obviously care about her.” That includes her brother, Thomas. “The thing that was very evident being there today ... people want what’s best for Jayla without question and we do, too,” Self said. “She has a father (James) and family (including stepbrother, Jamah, mid 20s) back home. Thomas obviously, as the big brother, would love to have her here (in Lawrence). But that’s a family decision. And they’re going to have to decide what’s best for Jayla.” The Jayhawk players pro-

vided much-needed support for Robinson Thursday, and promise to continue to do so, upon his return to Lawrence today. “Thomas is our brother and he and Jayla are hurting. We’ll do anything we can to make sure they get through this,” senior Tyrel Reed said. “We want what is best for them. We want them to be in the best situation and have the utmost opportunities.” Reed and his teammates have had a busy week. They’ve flown more than 3,000 miles since Saturday’s home loss to Texas. The Jayhawks returned from Tuesday’s 82-78 victory at Colorado at 1:30 a.m., Wednesday before embarking on the journey to D.C. KU flew charter to D.C., then traveled by bus over the slippery streets while in town. “I will say this: The weather in D.C. when we landed yesterday ... it was unbelievable,” Self said Thursday after exiting the charter plane at Topeka’s Forbes Field. “It was as bad as I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been in a place where you could go maybe 2 miles an hour because of all the traffic and icy roads. On the bus ... we didn’t know if we were going to be able to move. “There was talk of canceling the service because that

area of town lost all electricity. Fortunately everybody worked hard and put it together. Everything went off without a hitch (after service was delayed an hour).” ●

More tragedy: KU freshman guard Josh Selby returned to KU with his teammates Thursday. Selby had originally planned on heading from D.C. to his hometown of Baltimore on Thursday for today’s funeral of a loved one. “Maeshon’s (mother of Selby) godson — one of Josh’s best friends — was murdered Saturday,” Self said. “Josh found out as soon as the Texas game was over. Josh went back with the full intention — and our full intention — that he was going to stay and go to the service tomorrow, but with the weather situation and at the request of his family, they thought it was in his best interests not to go and come back with the team, so he’s with us right now.” ●

Practice: The Jayhawks were scheduled to practice on Thursday night. “We need to. We’ll have half an hour, 15-minute workout to keep the blood flowing,” Self said Thursday afternoon. “Then hopefully tonight for the first time in a long time we’ll get a good night’s rest.

And then hit the ground running tomorrow because we've got a lot to do to get ready for a real good K-State team on Saturday.” ●

Donations: Family has requested that, in lieu of gifts, contributions be made to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund c/o SNR Denton, 1301 K Street NW, Suite 600, East Tower, Washington, DC 20005-3364. The fund will benefit Jayla. ●

Sunflower Showdown: KState enters Saturday’s game with a 14-7 record, 2-4 in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks (19-1, 41) are 33-2 versus KSU since the inception of the Big 12, including 14 victories in the last 15 meetings in Allen Fieldhouse.

AREA BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

McLouth boys triumph By Benton Smith basmith@theworldco.info

M C L O U T H — The McLouth High boys basketball team utilized an inside-out combo down the stretch Thursday night to snap a three-game losing streak and defeat Maranatha Academy, 49-46. With junior forward Gavin Swearngin and sophomore guard Marc Walbridge leading a fourth-quarter push, the Bulldogs saved their best basketball for the final eight minutes. Swearngin and Walbridge scored the first six MHS buckets of the fourth quarter, and when Swearngin faced up and knocked down a baseline jumper with 4:20 to play, McLouth took its first lead — 39-37 — since the game’s opening minutes.

After Maranatha (3-8) converted a three-point play, Walbirdge buried a three-pointer to put the Bulldogs (6-6) back on top, 42-40. The Eagles tied the game before Nick McAferty hit a turnaround jump shot with 2:34 left to put MHS up 4442. The game was tied once more before Shawn Dailey fed Swearngin for a lay-in with 1:20 remaining, giving McLouth the lead for good. The Bulldogs sealed the win with free throws in the final minute — Derek Wright hit one with 43 seconds left and Dailey converted both ends of a one-and-one with 23 seconds on the clock.

The long, athletic Highland Park (7-3) forwards, led by Shanise Brooks (18 points, seven rebounds), hurt the Firebirds most on the offensive glass and in the paint, where they drew double-digit fouls in each half. The 6-foot-1 Brooks could have done more damage were it not for a strong defensive effort by 5-foot-9 Abbey Casady (f ive points, four rebounds). The second half featured more of the same, and though they were still plagued by foul trouble, the Firebirds committed only two turnovers after the break. “I do think our defense carried us tonight,” Duncan said. “And we made good decisions with the ball in the second half.” While the Scots mainly scored from the free throw line, where they were only 15-of-30 for the game, the Firebirds hit several big baskets down the stretch, including layups from juniors Jackie Garcia (12 points) and Lynn Robinson (11 points).

(481), Pace Leggins (458), Anthony Rosen (454) and Randy Walter (401) rounded out the Lions. On the girls side, Kirstyn Heine finished with a 491 series, followed by Delany Dieker (484), Kierstan Warren (480), Rebecca McNemee (424), Zoe Reed (414) and Darinka Delatorre (414).

Knicks 93, Heat 88 NEW YORK — Danilo Gallinari and Landry Fields made consecutive three-pointers in the final 1:18, and the New York Knicks took advantage of LeBron James’s miserable shooting night to beat the Miami Heat on Thursday night. Amare Stoudemire scored 24 points for the Knicks, when he was often the only one in a white jersey to make a shot for three quarters. But Gallinari was huge in the fourth quarter, when New York f inally contained Dwyane Wade after he was nearly perfect through 36 minutes. Gallinari finished with 20 points and Fields added 19 to help the Knicks win their second straight after a six-game skid. Wade, fighting migraines that forced him to wear goggles, had 34 points and 16 rebounds, but missed all seven shots in the fourth quarter after he was 14-of-15 through three. James was just 7-of-24 for his 24 points.

Approach possible dementia by looking for signs Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I was disappointed in your comments to “Vietnam Vet,” whose fiancee, “Nancy,” has endured various sexual assaults. You wrote that “there are statutes of limitations on reporting such crimes.” There is no statute of limitations to report a crime, only for prosecuting crimes. Reporting crimes, even if they are beyond the statute of limitations, is important, anniesmailbox@creators.com especially for crimes involvwanted. We would sound ing sexual predators. Each of accusatory and ungrateful. the individuals who assaulted Can you suggest a way we Nancy may have assaulted could approach her with our concerns without prying? — Concerned Daughter-in-Law

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear T.B.: Thank you for clarifying the point. Still, Nancy seems reluctant to report these crimes, and the decision to do so should be hers. — Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

The “new” sitcom “Working Class” (7 p.m., CMT) offers a variation on the “Hot in Cleveland” sitcom model, co-starring Betty White’s old co-star Ed Asner. “Working Class” is a rather terrible title for this show, which should be called “The Melissa Peterman Show,” because that’s basically what it is. Peterman plays Carli, a beautiful, longlegged blonde with dazzling white teeth who appears to have retained her sassy sense of humor in the face of several failed marriages, three kids and no career. Carli’s brother, Nick (Steve Kazee), lives rentfree and apparently job-free. But he does provide some occasional babysitting and a wisecrack or two. Carli has three children, but they seem to be without distinct personalities. Carli works at the local upscale grocer Parker’s Food, obviously modeled on Whole Foods and a good venue for Carli to contrast her meager fortunes with those who can drop three figures on fancy salads. Despite the show’s title, Carli has only sporadic moments of class envy. In one scene, she’s shocked to learn that a snooty customer has spent $30 on pastries to feed to her dog. But she discovers that only when she jokes that the size-0 woman is obviously not eating them herself. Forget class consciousness. Carli’s essentially envious of women who have married better or who have fitter bodies. Unfortunately, Peterman’s overall prettiness makes her rather unbelievable in a role Roseanne Barr and Brett Butler (“Grace Under Fire”) pioneered more than two decades ago. Ed Asner plays Hank, her neighbor and co-worker at the market, and he’s generally reduced to the kind of cranky old-man character he has been playing ever since Lou Grant told Mary Richards that he hated spunk. Hank’s dialogue includes references to Nixon and hippies, artifacts of a bygone era. “Class” isn’t all that complicated. Look for the wrong guys to pursue Carli. She will let them down gently and sweetly and saucily while she carries a torch for her rich, handsome and spoken-for boss, Rob Parker (Patrick Fabian). At a time when MTV flirts with child pornography laws and even “Hot in Cleveland” trades in drearily hackneyed smuttiness, there’s something refreshing about a sitcom that adheres to its PG-dom as a point of pride. And there are probably harsher criticisms than stating that a sitcom’s star is simply too good-looking to be taken seriously as a beleaguered working mother.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Kenny Ortega guest stars on “Phineas and Ferb” (7 p.m., Disney). ● Ginnifer Goodwin (“Big Love”) and Amy Sedaris (“Strangers with Candy”) guest star on f ive new episodes of “SpongeBob SquarePants” (7 p.m., Nickelodeon), beginning tonight. ● After a trip to Massive Dynamic, Walter worries about Peter on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Cyber crime on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● The guys require expert advice on “Gold Rush: Alaska” (9 p.m., Discovery).
