KU Hospital 1st in state to offer new brain aneurysm treatment

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Last spring, 65-year-old Marjorie Filipiak’s heart surgeon inadvertently ran a test that included a scan of her brain, and he found that she had an unruptured brain aneurysm.

“It was purely accidental,” she said.

Filipiak was referred to Kansas University Hospital where she was told there were two surgeries available to treat

brain aneurysms, an abnormal ballooning in a blood vessel, but both were too risky because her aneurysm was large and located in a section of the brain that was unreachable.

Dr. Alan Reeves, an interventional neuroradiologist at KU Hospital, said the chances of permanent nerve damage

or having the aneurysm rupture during surgery were too high, so they recommended that Filipiak do nothing.

“That’s hard to recommend,” he said, because there’s a slim chance that the aneurysm still could rupture and cause death.

According to the Brain

Aneurysm Foundation, there are an estimated 6 million Americans who have an unruptured brain aneurysm, and about 25,000 will suffer a rupture this year — or one every 18 minutes. They’re fatal in about 40 percent of cases, and of those who survive, about 66 percent suffer

some permanent neurological deficit.

For months, Filipiak, 65, of Liberty, Mo., went about life as best she could knowing there was that slim chance.

“There was no other option,” she said.

The

of being

president Richard Norton Smith reflects on White House successes, failures

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Success as president has eluded some very honorable men — William Howard Taft and Herbert Hoover — because they were politically inept once they took over the most political job in the world.

“First and foremost, in every face on Mount Rushmore is the face of a great politician,” historian Richard Norton Smith told an audience of about 300 people Sunday at the Dole Institute of Politics. “That includes George Washington, whose genius was to convince everyone, beginning with himself, that he was no politician.”

Historians of both the right and left can differ on criteria for judging presidents, and there’s no hard-and-fast rule, he said during the first session in the 2012 Presidential Lecture Series on “Why Presidents Succeed.

Why They Fail.”

“Also in some ways, it’s a

trick question because there are presidents that are both successes and failures,” said Smith, the Dole Institute’s first permanent director who now teaches courses on the presidency at George Mason University.

Still, with the nature of the job, all presidents are measured against Lincoln, whom Smith called “the greatest politician who ever lived in the White House,” just ahead of Franklin Roosevelt.

Lincoln never stopped growing politically, especially on his concepts on race and slavery and often combined pragmatism with a vision during the Civil War era.

Lincoln’s presidency contrasts with his successor Andrew Johnson, who was impeached.

“What (Johnson) didn’t understand was it was one thing to reunite the sections, but if you didn’t reunite the races at the John Young/Journal-World Photo same time, then you were only RICHARD NORTON SMITH SPEAKS TO THE CROWD at the Dole Institute of Politics on doing half the job,” Smith said.

JAYHAWK TAXI DRIVER RANDALL BARNES takes a brief break from sitting on his 12-hour shift the night of Jan. 16. Barnes works from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. four nights a week, driving around Lawrence and delivering people to their destinations.

It’s part comedy club, part retail operation.

Randall Barnes should know — he’s been working the night shift, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., for more than a year; some 30 years before that, he worked the streets, too.

That was before he got, and then got laid off from, a job in manufacturing electric train motors.

“

It’s entertaining to just sit back and listen to different stories people have to tell.”

— Randall Barnes, Jayhawk Taxi driver But this gig is “a pretty fun job, pretty easy,” he says. There’s just the grumpy people to watch out for, to try to make happy. There are the flaggers, the frustrated drunks and, oh yeah, the yellers.

Barnes is one of six drivers for Jayhawk Taxi, a local business that’s been run by Shawn Hoefler since 2008 and is nearing its 100,000th ride.

School district ahead of the curve on lunch menu upgrades

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Goodbye hot dog. Hello whole wheat spaghetti.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released new standards for school lunches that would boost the amount of whole grains, fruits and vegetables school children are offered and scale back on fat and

salt.

The new standards will be phased in over three years starting next school year.

SCHOOLS And, from what Lawrence public schools food services supervisor and registered dietitian Lindsey

Morgan has seen, she doesn’t expect much to change for local schools.

“For the most part, we are in good shape looking toward next year,” Morgan said.

The new USDA standards call for lunch menus to offer: ! Fruits and vegetables every day of the week. ! More whole-grain foods. ! Milk that is fat-free or low-fat.

! Meals with adjusted calorie counts for each age group. ! Foods with less saturated fats, trans fats and sodium.

The USDA stated that many of the proposed nutrition changes are ones parents are already trying to make at home. And, they are similar to the changes the school district has been

implementing over the past several years.

The district’s own guidelines call for half of all grain to be whole grains, at least four fruit and vegetable choices daily and one lowfat entree for lunch that has less than 480 mg of sodium.

The policies also call for as little prepared food as the Please see LUNCH, page 2A

Dorothy was the eldest child of Harry and Zillah Bernice (Vasey) Cupp, born April 12th, 1918, in El Reno, Oklahoma. After graduating from El Reno High School, she married Elmer A. Von Tungeln on January 1, 1938, and they enjoyed 64 years of marriage.

Treatment

was the first treatment performed in the state or the Kansas City metropolitan area. Filipiak went Filipiak home the next day.

“I was not there very long, and surprisingly, there was not much pain,” she said. “I’m just glad that I’m alive and don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

KU Hospital has performed one other PED surgery this month.

“We think this treatment has the potential to revolutionize the way we can treat an aneurysm with minimally invasive methods,” he said.

In late summer, she received good news. The Food and Drug Administration had approved a new treatment called Pipeline Embolization Device, or PED, for brain aneurysms, and she was a candidate for the procedure.

Reeves said the treatment involves inserting a wire mesh cylinder into a patient’s artery using a very fine catheter. The mesh PED redirects the blood flow away from the aneurysm, causing it to clot.

“This device allows us to treat an aneurysm without having to touch it or manipulate it, which prevents it from rupturing,” he said.

On Jan. 5, Filipiak was the first patient to receive the PED treatment at Kansas University Hospital, and it

budget allows.

Already, the district spends an extra $15,000 a year on whole-grain bread products. They provide only low-fat or skim milk.

And, the only kind of chocolate milk available is skim.

The district did away with french fries several years ago and recently introduced sweet potato fries to some schools.

“We have a really good start,” Morgan said.

A quick look at January’s lunch menus for Lawrence elementary schools shows the healthy choices of yogurt parfaits, steamed broccoli and carrots, green beans, peaches, pears and orange wedges. Students also have the choice of creating a chef salad every day. However, the school menu still offers some not-so-healthy options, such as pizza, corn dogs, hot dogs and chicken nuggets.

Morgan said it’s too early to tell whether the new standards mean certain items will have to come off the menu or if the cost of a school lunch will go up as meals meet healthier guidelines.

“We haven’t even started looking at that,” she said.

Traditionally, not winning a second term can be counted against a president, but, Smith said, James K. Polk became one of the country’s most successful unsung presidents, including a victory in the Mexican-American War. Polk said up front he would only serve one term.

Comparing old, new lunch menus As part of the new nutritional standard for school lunches, U.S. Department of Agriculture included ways traditional school lunch menus could change. Here is a week’s worth of examples:

Monday Before: Bean and cheese burrito with mozzarella cheese, applesauce, orange juice, 2 percent milk After: Submarine sandwich (with turkey, low-fat cheese on a whole-wheat roll), refried beans, jicama, green pepper strips, cantaloupe wedges, skim milk, mustard, reduced-fat mayonnaise, low-fat ranch dip Tuesday Before: Hot dog on a bun with ketchup, canned pears, raw celery and carrots with ranch dressing, low-fat chocolate milk After: Whole-wheat spaghetti with meat sauce, wholewheat roll, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, kiwi halves, low-fat milk, low-fat ranch dip, soft margarine

Wednesday Before: Pizza sticks with marinara sauce, banana, raisins, whole milk After: Chef salad (with romaine lettuce, low-fat mozzarella, grilled chicken), whole-wheat soft pretzel, corn, baby carrots, banana, skim chocolate milk, low-fat ranch dressing, low-fat Italian dressing Thursday Before: Breaded beef patty with ketchup, wheat roll, frozen fruit juice bar, 2 percent milk After: Oven-baked fish nuggets with whole-wheat roll, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, peaches, skim milk, tarter sauce, soft margarine Friday Before: Cheese pizza, canned pineapple, tater tots with ketchup, low-fat chocolate milk After: Whole-wheat cheese pizza, baked sweet potato fries, raw grape tomatoes, applesauce, low-fat milk, low-fat ranch dip

the new standards are expected to cost $3.2 billion over the next five years and are just one of the many changes expected to come

“He laid out four big things he was going to do, did them all, went home to Tennessee and died three months later,” Smith said. “If he’s largely forgotten today, it’s undeservedly.”

The country and electorate also changed over decades.

Harry Truman, because of his style — bourbon and poker, loud Hawaiian shirts and angry letters to music critics — might not be able to get elected today, said Smith, who wrote a book on Thom-

as Dewey, a Truman political rival.

“What we actually sentimentalize today as evidence of (Truman’s) authenticity, I guarantee you in the hands of the 24/7 news cycle would be fatal,” he said, “which is worrisome because it suggests how trivial we have allowed our politics to become.”

Hoefler says the job’s not that easy: “It’s a lot more than just driving.” But he says Barnes is one of the best.

That’s because he’s good at customer service, the “making people happy and getting them along through their day.”

“Yeah, it’s a job,” Barnes said of the 12-hour shifts of constant sitting and driving. “But I actually have fun doing this; sometimes it’s like a comedy club. It’s entertaining to just sit back and listen to different stories people have to tell.”

He doesn’t mind the nights and weekends either, he says, even though “not everybody can deal with the bar crowd” because “a lot of people don’t realize how many people work the night shift — plant workers, law enforcement, people at the hospital — good people just living their lives.”

George H.W. Bush

“When he left office (after one term), I think people felt that there weren’t a lot of people asking for a recount.

There was a sense that he had performed his historical mission differently in 20 years since. More and more people have come to a greater appreciation of just how great that mission was, how challenging it was, how difficult it was peacefully managing the end of the Cold War, and how much credit Bush deserves for that.”

Bill Clinton

“Clinton pre-empted the middle of the road.

And I don’t care. You can sit in front of Fox all day.

You can sit in front of MSNBC all night. The fact of the matter is that’s where the majority of Americans remain to this day. That’s where this (year’s) election will be won. Whether a critical mass of those people believe not only that the economy is getting better but that the next four years will be better and somehow different than the last four years, those are deciding factors.”

Recognizing ‘unsung heroes’

BRIEFLY Sitting judges donate to anti-abortion PAC KANSAS CITY, MO. — Two sitting Sedgwick County judges contributed to the state’s leading anti-abortion political action committee after hearing abortion cases, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Kansas City Star wrote that the campaign finance disclosure statement for the Kansans for Life PAC shows that Judges Eric Yost and Jeffrey Goering each contributed $100 in 2011.

Goering issued a temporary order in January 2011 prohibiting a Wichita doctor from using her office for abortions because her landlord believed it would create a nuisance.

Yost, meanwhile, was involved in the long-running legal dispute between former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline and slain lateterm abortion provider George Tiller.

No state laws or regulations bar such donations, and neither judge saw a problem with them.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Eleven hundred questions by the possible bidders to a 170-page RFP (request for proposal) show that even the professionals don’t understand what is being suggested, let alone the providers of Medicaid services and those receiving those services.”

Ag. leader seeks waiver for illegal immigrants TOPEKA — Facing pressure from large dairies and feedlots desperate for workers, Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman is seeking a federal waiver that would allow companies to hire illegal immigrants.

Rodman has met several times with officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about launching a pilot program that would place employers and illegal immigrants in a special state-organized network.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the goal is to create a legal, straightforward manner of organizing existing immigrant labor.

So far, Homeland Security has neither approved nor closed the door on the idea.

Now, a coalition of business interests is preparing to push the idea in Topeka. Details are expected to emerge this week about a bill establishing the outline of a state-managed worker program.

Operating in cooperation with the federal government, it would link sponsor companies with illegal immigrants who have been in Kansas a minimum of five years and have no criminal background.

“It was an intense time with high levels of emotion every night and day,” she said, adding that Patrick and his wife, Tena, had just had their first child.

“The good thing was we got to be with him and no words were left unsaid, and the other good thing was that for the first time in our lives, we got to see what nurses do every day,” she said.

The Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board has issued a consumer alert on this bill.

natural gas utility would be allowed to charge customers the requested rate increase starting 30 days after the utility files the request with the KCC. If the KCC approves a smaller increase than the utility requested, the utility must refund to customers the difference plus interest.

David Springe, consumer counsel for CURB, said this bill would force consumers to essentially make a loan to the utility.

It was reinstated in 1935. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the death penalty but four years later said states could reinstate capital punishment under certain rules.

Kansas brought back the death penalty in 1994, but no one has been executed under that law.

KCADP argues the death penalty doesn’t make Kansas safer and diverts money from other public safety areas.

Rep. Gregory proposes Capitol landscaping State Rep. TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, says she has an idea to save the state some money on the Capitol renovation project, which has been plagued with Gregory cost overruns and is now past the $300 million mark.

She wants to combine the voluntary resources of service clubs and master gardeners to restore the north lawn of the Capitol.

Currently, the north side

of the Capitol is a construction area and parking lot for workers. Once the restoration project is completed, the north side of the Capitol will be the major entrance for visitors.

The grounds of the Capitol, Gregory said, could be used to showcase Kansas plants, trees and flowers. Gregory said several service clubs have expressed an interest about the proposal.

DAISY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Foundation — DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System — to remember their son and to honor extraordinary nurses.

“We wanted to bring the stories of what nurses do every day to the forefront. We call them unsung heroes,” Barnes said.

The first DAISY award was given in 2001 in Seattle. Since then, more than 1,000 hospitals and health care facilities in seven countries have adopted the DAISY award program, and more than 8,000 nurses have been recognized.

In May, Lawrence Memorial Hospital will recognize its first DAISY award recipient during National Nurses Week. It decided to partner with the foundation to recognize its outstanding nurses.

“The award kind of brings back why we became nurses in the first place. It’s that connection with our patients and their families,” said Deb Rector, DAISY coordinator at LMH. The DAISY Foundation provides the tools needed to start a DAISY award program, and then each hospital can tailor it to fit its needs.

LMH plans to recognize one of its approximately 450 nurses each quarter. Nominations can be submitted by patients, visitors and colleagues, and then a committee of seven nurses will decide the winner.

As part of the international program, each DAISY recipient gets a certificate, pin, handbag and hand-carved sculpture titled “A Healer’s Touch.” They also get a banner and cinnamon rolls to share with their team.

Barnes said, “When we started the DAISY award and brainstormed the various elements of what meaningful recognition would be, we felt it was important to acknowledge that it’s not just one nurse, but it takes a team to provide great

patient care. A nurse will tell you that in a minute.”

Barnes said the cinnamon rolls have special meaning.

One morning, Patrick’s father, Mark Barnes, had bought a Cinnabon cinnamon roll and took it into his son’s hospital room. Patrick, who had lost his appetite and couldn’t eat much of anything, asked for a bite of the cinnamon roll and ended up eating the whole thing. That afternoon before his parents left, Patrick asked them to bring a cinnamon roll for him and enough for all of his nurses.

“He wanted to say thank you to them,” Bonnie said.

Whenever the Barnes family attends a DAISY award presentation — and they’ve attended hundreds — they tell nurses that when they smell cinnamon, whether in their kitchen or the mall, they should remember how special they are.

“Their work is so important, and they have a huge impact on not only the lives of patients but everyone in their lives, and they need to remember that,” Barnes said.

Mark and Bonnie Barnes, of northern California, recently toured LMH during a oneweek visit to about 25 health care facilities in the Midwest.

They started in St. Louis and ended in Lawrence.

“They were so wonderful.

It was so much fun to walk around and see their pride and to see what they’ve created there in a community hospital that it was indeed special,” Bonnie Barnes said of the LMH nurses. “They were just bubbling with enthusiasm … we walked away energized.”

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • About 5:30 a.m. Sunday, a Lawrence police officer attempted to pull over a car with significant damage near Engel Road and Crescent Drive.

The suspect sped off and, after hitting a sign, ran away from the car. The officer chased him through backyards and the parking lot of Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road.

The chase ended when the suspect tripped near Potter Lake.

The 20-year-old Lawrence man was taken to the Douglas County Jail and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of a hallucinogen and reckless driving. Sgt. Trent McKinley, of the Lawrence Police Department, said the suspect was driving his girlfriend’s car without her permission, so he was also charged with felony theft. He

BANKRUPTCIES Douglas County residents or businesses filing for bankruptcy protection recently in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Kansas, according to court records: • Joel Stuart Barnett and Cynthia Noel Barnett, 548 Brentwood Drive, Lawrence.

• Doris Louise Wilson, 2930 Peterson Road, Apt. S, Lawrence.

• Jose Antonio Hernandez, 310 Baker St., Baldwin City.

The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed.

The newspaper generally reports: • Burglaries, only with a loss of $1,000 or more, unless there are unusual circumstances. To protect victims, we generally don’t identify them by name.

• The names and circumstances of people arrested, only after they are charged.

• Assaults and batteries, only if major injuries are reported.

• Holdups and robberies.

Lawrence school leader applauds Obama’s plan to reduce dropouts make much of a difference on the school’s resources, Doll said.

“Keeping those students in Doll school until 18 wouldn’t be any more expensive for us. We already have programs in place,” Doll said.

“We would love to have kids stay until they graduate from high school.”

The agency that would be most affected would be the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, which handles truancy cases. An older age limit could mean more of those cases would come its way.

While a tougher law would bring added help from law enforcement, Doll said the school district needs to take a more complex approach.

“We always say punishment stops behavior. But to really make gains, we have to change attitudes that would help us make it more difficult for kids to drop out of school,” Doll said. “Our responsibility is to make sure (we provide) relevant education for them so they want to stay in school.”

Earlier this year, the school district spent $70,000 on software licenses that provided computer programs designed to reach students on the brink of dropping out of school. Those programs allowed students who may

BRIEFLY Cardiologist to chat about heart disease Dr. Michael Zabel will be available this week to discuss heart disease — America’s No. 1 killer — in recognition of American Heart Month.

Zabel, of Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence, will be participating in an online chat at 10 a.m. Thursday on WellCommons.com. You can submit your questions anonymously at any time at Well Commons.com/chats. Make sure to log back to WellCommons.com during or after the chat to see if your questions were answered.

Zabel earned his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 1988. He completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in cardiology at Duke University Medical Center.

Zabel is a clinical associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. He has done a variety of research on heart disease and treatments.

Screenings offered at Healthy Hearts Fair Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Healthy Hearts Fair will be from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Feb. 18.

The annual event typically draws about 500 people. It is held in the lower level of the hospital, 325 Maine.

Free health screenings will include blood pressure, Body Mass Index, HEALTH waist circumference, and heart attack and stroke risk. It also offers a blood sugar screening by finger stick and participants should fast overnight.

There also will be exhibits with information about the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease including smoking cessation, nutrition, exercise, sleep apnea, and signs of heart attack, stroke and congestive heart failure.

The screenings and exhibits will be provided by LMH staff, other area health professionals and local nonprofit health agencies.

In addition, a full cholesterol screening will be available for $25. It’s $20 if registered by Feb. 10. To register, call the LMH lab at 505-6179.

President Barack Obama’s goal to toughen up laws so students stay in high school longer would be a useful tool in preventing high school dropouts, Lawrence public schools Superintendent Rick Doll said.

In his State of the Union address last Tuesday, Obama called on every state to require students to stay in school until they have graduated or turned 18.

“When students aren’t allowed to walk away from their education, more of them walk the stage to get their diploma,” Obama said in his speech.

And Doll agrees.

“Anything we can do to keep kids in school so they can be prepared for a postsecondary education, is a positive,” Doll noted last week.

Current Kansas law dictates that students stay in school until the age of 18.

However, they can leave at 16 if they have parental consent.

Across the past four years, 39 students have officially dropped out of school in Lawrence, meaning they’ve signed paperwork of their intention to quit school. All but eight of those students were seniors.

The district’s dropout rate is at 5.2 percent, well below the national average of 8.1 percent.

Having fewer students drop out of school wouldn’t

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD !"LJWorld.com !"Monday, January 30, 2012

EDITORIALS

Renaming policy The decision to rename even a short stretch of a city street shouldn’t be taken lightly.

T

he vote was unanimous. Lawrence city commissioners voted to name a city street immediately north of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium as “Fambrough Drive” in honor of the late Jayhawk football coach, Don Fambrough.

Some local residents are pleased with this action; others were opposed but, for one reason or another, did not want to voice their objections; and still others probably didn’t care one way or another.

Fambrough played football at KU, coached and was fired twice as the school’s football coach. He was considered one of the most intense, outspoken critics of the Missouri Tigers.

Fambrough fans believed one of the best ways to remember the fiery ex-coach, who died in September, would be to name a city street adjacent to the football stadium in honor of their hero.

Again, some residents are happy; loyal Fambrough supporters are happy. Other residents think it was a mistake but didn’t want to say anything publicly, and many residents probably don’t care. However, city officials should take far more care concerning future requests for renaming city streets.

True, Fambrough was a colorful character, well-liked by many. But the question is: Where do you draw the line on changing the names of city streets?

If such a decision or honor is based on recognizing contributions to the university, how about former Chancellor Franklin Murphy or other chancellors — or others in the athletic field, such as the late Arthur “Dutch” Lonborg, who served with honor as the university’s athletic director or a basketball coach such as Roy Williams, a football player such as Gale Sayers or a basketball player? How about the internationally known KU basketball coach Forrest “Phog” Allen or many others who have distinguished themselves and brought honor to the school, Lawrence and the state? Would Ford Motor Co. president and Lawrence native Alan Mulally rate consideration?

The short section of 11th Street soon will be called Fambrough Drive and will intersect with Missouri Street, much to the delight of either Fambrough fans, Missouri haters or both.

Fambrough Drive also will intersect with Fambrough Way, a private street just west of Memorial Stadium that university officials already had planned to rename in honor of the former coach — again, a coach who was fired twice.

It’s fine for the university to rename a campus street in honor of a noted individual, but, in the future, it is hoped city officials will give far more serious consideration to changing the names of streets as a means to please fans or a given individual or for other questionable reasons.

Republican ground is shifting LEWISTON, MAINE — Against all odds, against all expectations, perhaps even against all reason, the Republican presidential nomination fight is centered in Florida this week and then moves to a hopelessly complex process here in Maine next week. This is a far different contest than the Republicans conducted a few weeks, a few miles, and a political lifetime away across the border in New Hampshire.

Strip the cant from the 2012 Republican nomination fight and you have a front-runner who lost two out of the first three tests and now is barely entitled to the title; a challenger in the race to be standard-bearer of a family-values party who has had three wives, almost no allies and many blood enemies in his own party; and another contender who lost in his own state, considered essential to a GOP victory, by 18 points in his Senate re-election fight.

In the old days a formula like that would be a summons for the political establishment to do something, or anything — step in to force implausible candidates from the race, step forward with a new contender in the lists, or step up the pressure to bring order to the proceedings. But none of that is happening, or is likely to happen anytime soon.

Where is GOP establishment?

Is it possible that in the party of the establishment there is no party establishment anymore — that in the caucus of the old guard, no one is on guard?

This is the Republican question that dares not speak its name; one that suggests that the character of a political party more than a century and a half old has shifted — startlingly, significantly — in the past decade or two.

Right now the Republicans seem to be avoiding the question entirely, speaking obliquely of a party establishment, but never identifying its members or even its inclinations.

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

But here is the secret: There is no establishment to make uncomfortable — or to make things right in a party that seems to be hungry for someone, something or anything to make things right, or at least to make things clear.”

Indeed, Newt Gingrich, who as a former House speaker would ordinarily be regarded as a charter member of the establishment, is plainly running against the establishment. “The establishment is right to be worried about a Gingrich nomination,” he said on “Meet the Press.” “We are going to make the establishment very uncomfortable.”

But here is the secret: There is no establishment to make uncomfortable — or to make things right in a party that seems to be hungry for someone, something or anything to make things right, or at least to make things clear.

“The old way of doing things in the Republican Party is gone,” says former GOP Sen. Warren B. Rudman of New Hampshire.

“The party is full of independent contractors, following their own instincts.”

Gingrigh not eligible Gingrich is plainly ineligible to play the part of the establishment; he has the credentials but not the temperament and, besides, is one of the contenders in the nomination fight. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts has classic establishment credentials — former governor of an important state, son of a respected business leader, revered

Midwestern governor and Nixon Cabinet member, and possessor of degrees from Harvard Law and Harvard Business — but he’s in the fight, too.

Ordinarily, former presidents would be establishment figures, but one of them, George H.W. Bush, is frail and is to the new warriors of the GOP a symbol of easy compromise; the other, George W. Bush, is still politically radioactive. If there is a Republican establishment left, it consists of the times, rarer now than in years past, when Bob Dole, Howard H. Baker Jr., and Rudman, three retired senators who stay in touch but whose average age is 85, get together for dinner. None has been in office more recently than 16 years ago.

None of the other figures — not Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s aide, not Charles R. Black Jr., the veteran GOP adviser, neither of whom has held major office — qualifies as a party leader whose word might make mortals tremble or whose dictates might carry the voltage of a thunderbolt.

The Republicans have had such figures in past decades — former nominees Dwight D. Eisenhower, Thomas Dewey and Richard M. Nixon, or House Majority Leader Charles A. Halleck, Senate Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen, or former House Speaker Joseph Martin — but they don’t have one now.

Today’s leaders can’t play role Today neither Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell nor House Speaker John Boehner can play the role. Neither can speak for his entire caucus or for the entire party; both are worried about the influence of tea party irregulars in their respective houses. It may be that the modern Republican establishment has been relegated to the presidents of a few Rotary clubs in cities with populations under 100,000.

The Republicans aren’t alone.

Four years ago, the insurgent Democratic candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, defeated the es-

tablishment candidate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, who had the support of a former president, big labor and many liberal interest groups.

Usually the president of the United States automatically is regarded as an establishment figure, but Obama shirks from the role and, as a recent account of life within the First Family suggests, is uncomfortable with many of the rituals of political life, like sitting around after hours with people he detests and assuring them how important they are.

Resistance to change But a party that has specialized in toppling the powerful, as the Democrats did until recently, doesn’t need an establishment as much as one that, until recent decades, practiced a conservatism of the old definition, which was resistance to change.

That is why, in the past, Republicans selected nominees such as Dewey, Nixon, Ronald Reagan, the elder Bush and Dole, all with conventional credentials and all with presidential campaigns (and in three cases a vice presidential campaign) behind them.

That Republican craving for safety and stability is firmly in the past, which is why the safest and probably least unpredictable among the GOP contenders, Romney, is so insistently seeking to minimize the very establishment credentials that in 1960 or 1968 would have assured him of the nomination, probably without breaking a sweat, which is the way establishment politicians operate.

“The Republicans have become much more of a grassroots party than a grass tops party,” says former Reagan White House Chief of Staff Kenneth M. Duberstein. “The ground has really shifted ever since the Republicans lost the presidency.”

That’s the whole point. In the old days, the Republicans — the grounded ones in our politics — won votes because they helped keep the ground from shifting.

After eight hours of heated debate on the floor of the Kansas YEARS House, the body AGO today passed a bill IN 1987 that would make death by lethal injection a possible sentence for people convicted of premeditated murder. The measure advanced to the Senate on a vote of 71-53. Gov. Mike Hayden had already vowed to sign any “properly worded” death penalty bill that arrived at his desk.

An armed robbery had recently occurred in the tunnel between YEARS the “Zone X” AGO parking lot and IN 1972 the Kansas Union.

Kansas University Traffic and Security officers reported that Salina senior Richard Tripp had entered the tunnel at about 7:30 p.m. and was accosted by two men, one of whom held him at gunpoint while the other struck him with a 10-inch hunting knife.

To the editor: The school counselor in a third-grade classroom where I was substitute teaching told the 9-year-olds about bullying. She told them bullying is hurtful behavior over and over. The children discussed how bullying is not nice. They learned bullying has consequences and is illegal at school. The counselor pointed out that we should leave others alone if we don’t like them. If someone is in a bad situation, we should help him or her. The children learned that name-calling, threatening and hurting are ways to bully others.

It seems there is a bully in the Statehouse. He is hurting many Kansans over and over. Women, children, the poor, sick, weak and aged pay the consequences. The Topeka bully should leave the arts, schools and social services alone. Better yet, he should help them, not destroy them. A leader should know not to name-call, threaten and hurt to bully Kansas citizens.

Judy Grant, Lawrence

To the editor: The Kansas House is hearing HB 2471 this week. It requires the Board of Adult Care Home Administrators to reserve a seat for each of the three nursing home provider associations. The bill codifies their power on this public board. Rep. Bob Bethell, a former president of one of the associations, is a chief proponent.

BACHA, like most professional oversight boards, exists to protect the public. It is key in holding administrators accountable for management of the home.

Unfortunately, BACHA’s disciplinary actions are mostly private. From 2003 to 2010, BACHA took final, public action against only five administrators. Clearly, in eight years, more than five administrators failed enough in their duties to warrant discipline.

In 2011, the Kansas Department on Aging cited nearly 100 facilities for actual harm to residents.

HB 2471 ignores the real problem: BACHA is soft on enforcement.

Tragically, the need for strong enforcement was exemplified in the Jan. 19 Lawrence Journal-

World story about the late Jean Allen and Brandon Woods, a nursing home in Lawrence. Her family filed suit against its corporate owner and administrator, alleging that Mrs. Allen was sexually abused by an employee and that Brandon Woods attempted to cover it up.

The lawsuit includes an allegation that the staff failed to promptly report the suspected abuse and destroyed important evidence.

No criminal charges were ever filed. Although this “incident” was reported in 2010, KDoA never issued a citation against Brandon Woods. BACHA never published any disciplinary action against the administrator. Where is that public protection now?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 30, 1912: YEARS “The grand roundAGO up held this mornIN 1912 ing by the Kaw Valley C.P.A. resulted in the killing of two wolves and two red foxes by the army of hunters who went out to exterminate the pests and enjoy the day’s sport. Fully four hundred men armed with shot guns took part.... At the end of the hunt the slain animals were offered for sale to the highest bidder.... The total amount realized from the sale of the animals was $17.25 which was expended in the purchase of a lunch for the entire crowd.... When Judge Benson arrived at his office in the city hall this morning and found that there was nothing on the docket he immediately joined the wolf hunters for the day. The judge declared open season and armed with his double barrel set out to slaughter the pests.”

Track stars have more than hyphens in common Anybody concerned that Alexa Harmon-Thomas might be putting too much on herself by participating in both track and field and soccer in the spring for Free State High needs to listen to Alexa’s idol talk about her teenage years.

“I was able to do three sports in high school,” three-time Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee said Friday night over dinner at Maceli’s. “Volleyball, basketball and track.

And I was a cheerleader until I went to high school.”

A native of East St. Louis, Ill., Joyner-Kersee added that she worked at a movie theater.

“If the candy was damaged, you had to get rid of it. There was a lot of damaged candy,” Joyner-Kersee said, her infectious laugh lighting up the room. “When I got to high school, I told my coach (Nino Fennoy) I had to catch the bus after school and go downtown to my job. He told me, ‘You can’t be doing all this.’ I told him, ‘Well, you’re going to have to talk to my momma.’ So I gave up the job, gave up the cheerleading.”

She did not give up the other sports, even when it became obvious she had remarkable potential in track and field. Harmon-Thomas shouldn’t feel as if she needs to give up soccer, either, as long as she continues to love playing it.

Joyner-Kersee sat at the end of a long banquet table and Harmon-Thomas at the other end on a night when many minds met to discuss plans to make Lawrence a track and field hub with national youth competitions and downtown events featuring world-class athletes.

Before dinner, the woman chosen by Sports Illustrated as the greatest female athlete of the 20th century and the girl who at the age of 15 already qualifies as Lawrence’s top female athlete of the 21st century met and had a friendly chat.

They discussed their favorite events. Joyner-Kersee’s was the long jump. One of her three Olympic gold medals came in that event, the other two in the heptathlon. She participated in four Olympics and won seven medals. Harmon-Thomas’ is the high jump. As a freshman last season, Harmon-Thomas won a state title in that event and the 300-meter hurdles and placed second in the 100-meter hurdles and long jump. She has set multiple national age-group records.

They also discussed how much they dreaded the final of seven events in the two-day heptathlon, the 800 meters.

“You start the first day off, you’re all bubbly, happy,” Joyner-Kersee said. “The last day you’re on the verge of winning it, and you have to run the 800 meters. My lip used to drop. The world’s coming to an end.”

Joyner-Kersee had advice for Harmon-Thomas on how to deal with the monster at the end of the rainbow, the 800.

“You train for it,” she told her. “And the training portion is so important because it helps you psychologically. Even though I didn’t like running, I knew I had to be ready for it.

So we would train for all seven events. I know some athletes just trained for strong events. I always focused on my weakest events, throwing events, high jump.”

SPECIAL OLYMPIANS SURROUND TRAVIS RELEFORD AS HE LEADS THEM IN STRETCHING during the 28th-annual Wilt Chamberlain Basketball Clinic.

About 200 Special Olympians took part in the clinic Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Clinic helps Jayhawks put loss behind

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Upset with himself and the world after Kansas University’s 72-64 loss to Iowa State on Saturday, Bill Self elected to delay the agonizing task of reviewing game film for 24 hours.

“I did not watch the tape on the bus. I was not in the best of moods coming home,” Self, KU’s ninth-year coach, said of the fourhour bus ride back from Hilton Coliseum, where KU (17-4) suffered its first conference loss in eight games.

“I figured, ‘You know what? Instead of getting upset, I’m going to relax and watch TV and not watch the tape.’ I saw plenty of highlights on TV about our game.

I’m just now going to watch the tape as soon as we leave here,” Self added Sunday on a much happier occasion — the Jayhawks’ 28th-annual Wilt Chamberlain Special Olympics Clinic.

KU players and coaches worked with 200 or so Special Olympians from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

“Losing in Ames ... this certainly changes everyone’s perspective and has everybody in a good mood today,” Self said. “I truly believe our players get as much or more out of it than the Olympians do.”

Jayhawks land two, lose one

The final recruiting weekend for the Class of 2012 produced some mixed results for the Kansas University football team, as KU coach Charlie Weis picked up two commitments and may have lost another.

Dallas linebacker Courtney Arnick orally committed to KU in Weis’ office at the end of his weekend visit; El Camino Community College defensive tackle Jordan Tavai committed to KU late Sunday night; and Butler County CC defensive lineman Chaquil Reed appears to have Please see KEEGAN, page 3B switched his commitment from

KU to Kansas State. Reed visited Manhattan over the weekend.

The addition of Arnick helps Kansas more than the loss of Reed hurts. For starters, Reed has not officially committed to KSU yet — though that’s expected to happen Tuesday — and, with the addition of Tavai, 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, KU now has five other defensive linemen committed in this class. So far, Arnick is the only linebacker committed in KU’s 13-man class.

New KU recruiting coordinator Rob Ianello was the lead recruiter for Tavai, who chose KU over Texas Tech.

Arnick, 6-2, 200 pounds, hails from Dallas’ Carter High, where

day’s loss for at least a few moments Sunday.

“We’ve got to be a better defensive team,” Taylor said. “We’ve got to play teams 35 seconds into the shot clock and not let up. I think that’s where we make a lot of mistakes. We need to be a better rebounding team. We’ve not rebounded the ball well at all lately.”

KU, which was outrebounded, 36-23, by ISU, has been out-boarded in three of the past five games.

“One thing very evident to all of us is we have to pay attention to detail better,” Self said. “We’ve got to pay attention to scouting report better. We can’t take three or four possessions off or forget three or four possessions. That’s the difference in winning and losing. We’ve got a good team, but our margin for error is not as great as it has been in the past.

We need to pay more attention to detail and be more disciplined.”

That will all be addressed at practice today. Sunday was about working with the Olympians on fundamentals and bonding with the players.

“This is a tremendous thing for our kids. They look forward to it every year,” said Gary Tanner, volunteer coach for Douglas Please see KU HOOPS, page 3B

he was a first team all-district selection last season. He chose KU over offers from Boise State, Houston and Memphis, among others, and he visited all three in the past week. His decision to choose Kansas came down to the positive vibe he got from KU’s coaches, players and facilities.

KU assistant Clint Bowen was the lead recruiter for the threestar linebacker, but it’s clear the addition of defensive coordinator Dave Campo played a part Eric Gay/AP Photo as well.

“He was a real nice guy and A PATRIOTS FLAG FLIES out the window of welcomed me into the pro- the team’s charter as it arrives at Indianapolis gram,” Arnick said of Campo in International Airport.

Marshall snags 4 TDs in Pro Bowl HONOLULU (AP) — Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns, and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC, 59-41, on Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a three-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel catches. He was selected the game’s MVP, and his four TD catches set a Pro Bowl record.

The 59 points by the AFC set a Pro Bowl mark, and the 100 points scored by the two teams combined was the second highest, a touchdown shy of the 107 scored in 2004.

But it was clear from the start it was Marshall’s day. He hauled in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton, while on his back, to give the AFC a 3835 lead late in the third quarter.

It was Marshall’s third TD catch of the game, tying Jimmy Smith’s Pro Bowl record set in 2004.

Marshall, making his third Pro Bowl appearance, then nabbed a three-yard TD pass from Dalton that gave the AFC a 52-35 lead with 8:25 left and put the game away.

The game featured 36 first-timers, including rookie quarterbacks Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Dalton of the Cincinnati Bengals, who replaced Super Bowl quarterbacks Eli Manning and Tom Brady. Their selection made this Pro Bowl the first to feature two rookie signal callers.

While Dalton looked composed, Newton played horribly — struggling to move the ball, stay in the pocket and find his targets,

MIAMI DOLPHINS WIDE RECEIVER BRANDON MARSHALL OF THE AFC PULLS IN A TOUCHDOWN over Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas (29) of the NFC during the second quarter of the NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. which drew some boos from the sun-splashed, sellout crowd of 48,423.

Newton finished 9-of-27 for 186 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dalton, meanwhile, was 7-of-9 for 99 yards and two TDs. On his first series, Newton overthrew a wide-open Tony Gonzalez over the middle, with the ball sailing into Eric Weddle’s hands. The San Diego Chargers safety popped up to his feet and returned it 63 yards to the NFC 23, leading to a 37-yard FG by Sebastian Janikowski, which gave the AFC its first lead of the game at 31-28.

Newton recovered on the next series, airing out a 55-yard goahead touchdown pass to Panthers teammate Steve Smith,

making it 34-31. But he was intercepted again on the next series.

With the Pro Bowlers unable to get out of third gear — particularly on the offensive and defensive lines — and hitting each other as though they were having a pillow fight, the Pro Bowl featured some good, bad and real ugly — sometimes on the same play. For example, Aaron Rodgers caught a pass from himself. His throw was deflected at the line and he leaped to catch the ball and backpedaled for a 15-yard loss.

Rodgers was 13-of-17 for 141 yards and two TDs, giving him a quarterback rating of 139.6, higher than his NFL record 122.5 rating during the season.

Each AFC player earned a record $50,000 for the win, while the NFC players received $25,000.

COMMENTARY

Stars, teams don’t always stick together

By George Diaz The Orlando Sentinel

Indianapolis and Orlando are two cities caught in the cross-hairs of loyalty, the most misunderstood word in pro sports.

Peyton Manning is a superstar who wants to stay. Dwight Howard is a star who wants to leave.

You don’t have to call the psychic hotline to get a glimpse into the future. Manning is likely to have played his last game for the Indianapolis Colts after a fabulous 13-year run. Howard isn’t likely to finish out his eighth year with the Orlando Magic, as the clock ticks on his imminent departure.

Fans of both teams continue to fight through the denial, trying to recruit more followers on staydwight.com, or in Indy’s case, hoping that Andrew Luck steps in a pothole, twists his ankle, and becomes a risky No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Unlike the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, professional sports franchises rarely believe in happily ever afters. Reality bites, my friends.

The Colts would be stupid to honor Manning’s $28 million option - due March 8 - especially for a guy still recovering from three neck surgeries in less than two years. The Magic would gladly throw millions of dollars at Dwight’s feet, but the problem is he won’t even bother to pick up a dollar off the floor.

Are the Colts being disloyal to Manning? Is Howard dissing the Magic as an ungrateful millionaire?

Everybody can fill in the blanks and answer those questions as they see fit, but it all goes back to the three biggest lies in sports: Rex Ryan’s Jets will win the Super Bowl one day (hey, he keeps promising), Mark McGwire hit all those home runs because of protein shakes, and teams and athletes have a moral obligation to stay true to each other, even in tough times.

Nah, it’s all about ego and bigger markets.

Instead of becoming annoyingly clingy, the Magic should let go as quickly as possible. Think of the NBA All-Star Game next month as an extravagant dinner party hosted by a glamorous couple everyone knows is getting divorced. Kinda awkward isn’t it?

Indy has set up the biggest stage in franchise history, as it hosts a Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history on Feb. 5. But that’s a house of cards, too, as Manning and team owner Jim Irsay traded barbs over the press before issuing a joint “make nice� statement few days ago.

Those should be celebratory times in both cities. But there is little joy in AllStar games and Super Bowls for loyal fans of these franchises.

Djokovic wins marathon Australian Open finale MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Novak Djokovic ripped off his shirt and let out a primal scream, flexing his torso the way a prize fighter would after a desperate, last-round knockout.

This was the final act in Djokovic’s 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5 victory over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final — a sweatdrenched, sneaker-squeaking 5 hour, 53-minute endurance contest that ended at 1:37 a.m.

Monday morning in Melbourne.

Djokovic overcame a break in the fifth set to win his fifth Grand Slam tournament and third in a row. None, though, quite like this.

This one involved tears, sweat and, yes, even a little blood. It was the longest Grand Slam singles final in the history of pro tennis and it came against Nadal, the player who built a career on his tenacity — on outlasting opponents in matches like these. “It was obvious on the court for everybody who has watched the match that both of us, physically, we took the last drop of energy that we had from our bodies,� Djokovic said. “We made history tonight and unfortunately there couldn’t be two winners.�

When the drama was finally over at Rod Laver Arena, the 24-year-old Djokovic joined Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Nadal as the only men who have won three consecutive majors since the Open Era began in 1968. Nadal was his vanquished opponent in all three.

The match was full of long rallies and amazing gets. Djokovic finished with 57 winners, along with 69 unforced errors. Nadal had 44 winners against 71 unforced errors.

HOCKEY

Chara wins All-Star game OTTAWA — Marian Gaborik made New York Rangers teammate Henrik Lundqvist pay for not selecting him to play for Daniel Alfredsson’s team in the NHL All-Star game.

Gaborik beat Lundqvist twice in the first period, finished with three goals and an assist, and earned MVP honors in leading Team Chara to a 12-9 win over Team Alfredsson on Sunday.

BASEBALL

A’s OK with signing Manny OAKLAND, CALIF. — An Oakland executive says the Athletics remain open to signing slugger Manny Ramirez, but the team is not actively pursuing the free agent.

Assistant general manager David Forst made his remarks during Sunday’s A’s Fanfest held at the Oakland Arena, next door to the Coliseum. A’s owner Lew Wolff had suggested the move last week.

Ramirez applied for reinstatement to Major League Baseball last month. He was suspended for 100 games last year, but the ban was trimmed to 50 because he sat out nearly all of last season. The suspension would start with the first game he is eligible to play after signing with a club.

SERBIA’S NOVAK DJOKOVIC CELEBRATES after defeating Spain’s Rafael Nadal in the men’s singles final at the Australian Open tennis championship on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia

GOLF

Woods slides at Abu Dhabi ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — Tiger Woods talked all week about his improved ball control — then it let him down in the final round of the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Woods resembled the Tiger of old the first three rounds before shooting an even-par 72 on Sunday to tie for third behind winner Robert Rock and U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy.

The 117th-ranked Rock shot a 70 to finish at 13-under 275 and beat McIlroy (69) by a shot.

Woods was another stroke back along with Thomas Bjorn (68) and Graeme McDowell (68).

Woods will make his first PGA Tour start of the season Feb. 9-12 at Pebble Beach.

Snedeker wins Farmers Open SAN DIEGO — Brandt Snedeker won the Farmers Insurance Open in a playoff no one imagined possible until Kyle Stanley hit a wedge into the water and made triple bogey on the last hole.

Snedeker had a tap-in birdie on the 18th and was so certain he would be the runner-up that he drove up to the media center for an interview, just in time to see Stanley run into trouble.

Both players made birdie on the 18th in the playoff, then Snedeker won on the second extra hole with a five-foot par putt. Stanley’s putt from about the same length caught the right side of the lip.

It was a devastating loss for Stanley, who led by seven shots in the round and was four shots ahead as he stood on the 17th green.

County Special Olympics.

“Their eyes are big ... just to be down here on the floor and get to be with the players and coach Self ... it’s a highlight of their basketball season. We are just grateful and excited they do it every season.” !

Self on Sunday discussed what was a scary scene Saturday in Ames. Hundreds of students stormed the court after the final horn and, in the process, injured ref Darron George.

“After coming off the court, our players were tending to the official, Darron George, who was down. He was in so much pain,” Self said. “From what we were told, he broke his arm trying to push people off in the melee. It was a very dangerous situation yesterday.

“Whenever an official is in so much pain he can’t stand up, and he’s one of the first ones off the court and they have police escorts to get them off the court ... whenever it can happen to an official,

We are fortunate more people don’t get injured during those situations.”

Afrer the game, ISU officials said George hurt his wrist, but did not head to the hospital for treatment or Xrays. The Big 12 said Sunday George “suffered a hand injury” and is OK. Self said he believed fans have stormed the court in about 60 percent of KU’s road losses during his nine years at KU.

“We’ve had some great ones. That court storming at Bramlage (Kansas State) was great. Missouri had a great court storming on us.

That deal in Ames yesterday ranked right up there with the best of them as far as court storming,” Self said.

“I am OK with it, but I think if you are going to allow your students to do that, administration should do a better job of somehow providing security to protect the players and everybody else.”

an interview with Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com. “He told me they needed speed on defense and I could help them out. I know he can make me a better player.”

Campo, who was hired a little more than two weeks ago, has been active on the recruiting trail since arriving at Kansas, and Kirby said the former Dallas Cowboys coach’s name has

done wonders to help sell KU. “It absolutely has,” Kirby said. “I’ve talked to several kids who have met with (Campo) and had in-home visits with him, and they all love him. The one thing that almost every recruit I’ve talked to has said about him is how much they like his enthusiasm.”

A couple of other developments from the weekend include: " Tyree Williams, a 6-foot, 190-pound athlete from Dulles High in Sugar Land, Texas, has narrowed his list to KU and SMU and appears to be

leaning toward Kansas. Williams also visited Kansas over the weekend. " Cleveland cornerback Sean Draper, who was scheduled to visit KU last weekend but wound up not making it, seems to have eliminated KU from his list. No word on Draper’s Glenville teammate, V’Angelo Bentley, who was able to make it to Lawrence over the weekend. " City College of San Francisco quarterback Turner Baty spent the past couple of days tweeting about the Jayhawks. Baty, who also recently visited KU, says he has not committed anywhere yet.

KU men’s bowling No. 15 nationally J-W Staff Reports

SOUTH BEND, IND. — Kansas University’s men’s bowling club placed ninth of 53 teams in the Blue and Gold Tournament and ascended to 15th in the national rankings.

KU averaged 206 as a team

at the prestigious tournament.

The women’s team — Kansas’ first since 2005 — placed 33 of 43 teams.

For the season, Justin Thompson leads the KU men with a 203.625 average and is followed by Kyle Turner (203.245), Matt Washford

(202.274), Alex Hardman (200.929) and Nick Campfield (196.077).

Kara Johannes leads the KU women with a 183.867 average and is followed by Loryn Goebel (168.714), Katie Constant (155.077), Michelle Schieffer (153.083) and Laura Konecny (145.6).

hurdler and Olympic silver medalist Greg Foster shook his head, indicating there was no such thing as a weak event for Joyner-Kersee.

The poised HarmonThomas made quite a favorable impression on JoynerKersee, who was informed of some of her times and distances.

“I think she’s a tremendous talent,” Joyner-Kersee said. “And just having that conversation with her, she’s humble, but she knows what she wants and is really focused. And then also she’s somewhat torn between soccer and the track. I know what it’s like to want to do more than one sport.”

Joyner-Kersee said based on their conversation she is convinced Harmon-Thomas is going about pursuing her goals in the right way.

“And she has a nice body type for it,” she said of the muscular, 5-foot-10, 135-pound Harmon-Thomas.

“I enjoyed listening to her talk about the different events.”

Harmon-Thomas was part awestruck fan, part pupil taking in every word.

“She seemed really down-to-earth,” HarmonThomas said. “I was nervous to meet her at first because I’ve pretty much idolized her. And I started talking to her, and she just seemed like a regular person. It was great to meet all of them. It’s great to see all of them, and it’s great to see what I could become if I work hard.”

“I still love soccer,” Harmon-Thomas said.

Through all the grueling workouts and high-pressure

Roundup Lakers 106, Timberwolves 101 MINNEAPOLIS — Kobe Bryant had 35 points and 14 rebounds, and Pau Gasol scored 28 to give Los Angeles a much-needed road victory over Minnesota.

Andrew Bynum added 21 points for the Lakers, who won for the second time in nine road games this season.

They led by 18 in the third quarter, then withstood a furious Timberwolves charge to hang on for their second victory in six games.

Kevin Love had 33 points and 13 rebounds, and Michael Beasley added 18 points and 12 boards for the Wolves, who lost to the Lakers for the 16th straight time.

Minnesota led 94-93 with 3:19 to play, but the Lakers’ size was too much down the stretch. Bynum threw down two dunks and Bryant slithered into the lane for two clutch jumpers to turn back the young Wolves.

The Associated Press

Heat 97, Bulls 93 MIAMI — LeBron James scored 35 points, reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose wasted two chances in the final 23 seconds, and Miami escaped with a victory Sunday over Chicago.

Chris Bosh had 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who never trailed — but this win in a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference finals was not easy.

Dwyane Wade added 15 points for Miami.

Rose scored 34 points for the Bulls, but missed a pair of foul shots that would have given Chicago the lead with 22.7 seconds left.

He had made all 28 of his free throws in the fourth quarter this season.

Rose also had a shot to tie in the final seconds, but his short jumper bounced off the rim.

Bosh sealed it with two free throws with 0.1 seconds left for Miami, which has won five straight over the Bulls — counting the last four games of last season’s East title series.

Anderson Varejao had 18 points and nine rebounds for Cleveland, which had lost five of six.

Ray Allen returned from an ankle injury and scored 22 points, making four of six from three-point range. But he missed a jumper from the left corner when Boston still held a one-point lead on its second-to-last possession.

Clippers 109, Nuggets 105 DENVER — Chauncey Billups’ homecoming couldn’t have gone better. He scored a season-high 32 points and drew a crucial foul in the waning seconds to help seal Los Angeles’ victory that snapped Denver’s six-game winning streak.

It was Billups’ first game at the Pepsi Center since the Nuggets included him in the Carmelo Anthony blockbuster trade nearly a year ago.

Billups received a rousing ovation during introductions, and some highlights of his days with the Nuggets were shown on the overhead scoreboards.

Those cheers turned to groans when Billups scored a dozen points in the first quarter and swished a trio of three-pointers in the third.

But he saved his best play for the fourth quarter.

His sixth three-pointer tied it at 99, and his threepoint play finished off an 8-0

Office relationship none of co-worker’s affair sent. And an angry young adult who resists treatment is not likely to sign (or attend treatment, for that matter).

Yes, parents can tell the child that treatment is a condition of financial support, but this can backfire because parents are understandably hesitant to force a mentally ill or addicted child onto the street.

It breaks my heart to see parents of young adults wringing their hands over their child’s substance abuse, anniesmailbox@comcast.net bipolar disorder or whatever, unwilling to break it off.

It’s very likely that your comments would be resented, and this could damage your work environment.

Dear Annie: I am a psychologist with a heartfelt piece of advice for those whose teenage children are struggling with addictions or other issues, and who aren’t facing the situation squarely.

Many parents hope their teen will “grow out of it.” The problem is, most don’t. When the child is under age 18, parents still have lots of power.

They can sign their child into a treatment center and communicate with the doctors.

This power is lost once the child reaches 18. Doctors are not allowed to talk with family members of legal adults unless the child signs con-

Is reality TV a horror, or merely horrible?

Whenever reality TV shows bore me — and that’s practically all the time — I like to reimagine them as grade-Z horror movies in the making. “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) has always struck me as one fictional slasher short of entertaining: “She jumped in the hot tub, but she never got out! ... Then the warm, roiling bubbles turned as crimson as the rose she would never receive ...”

Now we’re getting somewhere!

The new makeover series “The Amandas” (7 p.m., Style) doesn’t quite rise to the level of horror, but it has the makings of a deeply disturbed psychological thriller.

Amanda LeBlanc is an attractive sorority type who was, we are told, one of the more renowned organizers and decluttering experts in New Orleans. Displaced

by Hurricane Katrina, she relocated to Birmingham, Ala., where, she says, her business has thrived.

Only, her new outfit is not just about helping people clean out overstuffed closets. It’s an all-encompassing cult of personality with very creepy overtones. Perky and humorless in the style of Temperance Brennan on “Bones,” Amanda describes herself as a “perfectionist” and even claims she might be “a little OCD.” She’s shown micromanaging a tragically henpecked personal assistant, showing him how to put a spoon in a sugar bowl, “just so.” Her attention to detail consumes her to the point that she’s late getting out the door and driving her children to school.

Amanda would be tragic (and dull) enough on her own, but she has assembled a staff of self-described Southern belles with apparent self-esteem problems. It’s not enough that they conform to her exacting and idiosyncratic standards; they must call themselves “Amandas,” wondering aloud, “What would Amanda do?” They submit to the cult of Amanda in all ways. They have to renounce their own personalities and become a blank (or in this case, a “LeBlanc”) slate before the dominant alpha female.

With a premise like this, an ordinary lifestyle show about organizing shelves seems a bit humdrum. This calls for the dark satire of the 1988 movie “Heathers” or, better still, the cheesy melodrama of a 1970s madefor-TV movie about covens. By the end of the proceedings, a young acolyte (I’d cast Kristy McNichol or Jodie Foster) must dispatch her tormentor (a pre-“Charlie’s Angel” Kate Jackson, perhaps?) and take her rightful place before the bonfire as the faceless following chants her name: “Amanda, Amanda, Amanda!”

Now that’s much more entertaining than something about purging your sock drawer!

Tonight’s other highlights

A homeless patient dreads a family reunion on “House” (7 p.m., Fox).

A vintage bank robber resurfaces on “Alcatraz” (8 p.m., Fox).

Keep the poltergeists guessing on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

“Unsung” (9 p.m., TV One) profiles Full Force.

Cult choice

Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles star in the 1944 adaptation of “Jane Eyre” (7 p.m., TCM), featuring a stirring score by Bernard Herrmann.

Parents do the best they can, but those who fear their child is slipping away should make sure to seek help while they still have the opportunity.

Dear Annie: I have loved a gay man all my life, and I am now 64, so I know a little something about the problem.

I work in an office where a 35-year-old man is dating a female co-worker who is 50.

I believe they both care for each other, but he is concealing his sexual orientation. I happen to know he has a boyfriend in another city.

I have not mentioned this to anyone not only because it could hurt his position in our conservative company, but also because it’s not my business. However, I’ve begun to wonder whether I ought to say something to his girlfriend. She is going through hell. He’s nice to her and takes her out to lunch often, and she reports their doings with stars in her eyes.

Then they will fight, and she avoids him while he waits to get back in her good graces.

She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and she’s miserable. I don’t think he’s going to tell her the truth, and at this point, she would be furious if she knew he has been leading her on. What would you suggest? Should I butt in to save her? I still have to work with both of them. — No Name, No City Dear No Name: We strongly urge you to stay out of this. Your female co-worker realizes she is miserable in this relationship, but is still

Belichick, Brady in cheerful mood INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Even the usually dour Bill Belichick was joking around as the New England Patriots arrived in Indianapolis for Super Bowl week.

At his opening news conference Sunday night, Belichick was asked if he expected some Hoosier hospitality.

“I never had too much hospitality here,” he said, noting that the Patriots aren’t exactly popular in Colts country, “until I went for it on fourthand-two.”

His gamble on that play at the New England 28 with 2:08 to go failed and led to the Colts’ winning field goal in a 2009 regular-season game.

“Fans greeted us lots more and were awfully friendly” after that, he added.

All-Pro receiver Wes Welker wasn’t familiar with the term when asked the same question.

“What is Hoosier hospitality? What does that consist of?” Welker asked to laughs before getting a full explanation from a local television reporter. “I think it will be a little strange practicing at the Colts’ facility. I don’t know how many people like that, but we’ll be calm and polite and not try to rub it in, so I hope everyone is appreciative of it.”

Belichick, dressed in a suit — no hoodie for the coach this time — also said All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is “day to day” with a high left ankle sprain for next Sunday’s NFL title game against the New York Giants.

Gronkowski has been wearing a walking boot since being injured in the AFC title game.

“You’ve got to prepare for every one of these situations that come up,” quarterback

Tom Brady said of the possibility Gronkowski will be limited or sidelined. “You always have to have some contingency plans.”

Brady knows the Giants will bring lots of heat with their pass rush, but for now he was more comforted by not having to face a local rival who frequently has put Brady on his back.

“I see Dwight Freeney’s picture up there (on the stadium),” Brady said. “When you come to Indy and don’t have to play him, we are very fortunate for that.”

The Patriots drew about 25,000 fans to Gillette Stadium earlier Sunday for what Brady termed “a pep rally.” Team owner Robert Kraft was thrilled by the turnout.

“We had 25,000 people come to our stadium today to send the team off,” Kraft said.
