Smart meters simplify energy efficiency ——
Devices save time, money but raise some privacy issues By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com
foreign policy achievements to his political legacy more than 20 years after leaving office. “In 1980, we were in a funk,” Smith told the 350 or so guests. “We had begun to lose confidence.” Faced with the tough economic times, the man who “made a career out of being underestimated,” became “one of a handful of transformative presidents,” Smith said. Smith, having just written a feature for this week’s Time magazine, “The Reagan Revelation,” selected Reagan as one of four 20th century Mount Rushmore candidates, along with former Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.
For many Kansas electric cooperatives — the energy providers that serve the state’s most rural areas — smart meters are old news. In Lawrence, the community is just learning about the meters, and some questions are being raised on how they will affect electric bills and customers’ privacy. Westar Energy is spending $40 million to install 45,000 smart meters in Lawrence this year and establish the backbone of its system’s smart grid. Eventually customers will be able to go online and see how much electricity they use by the hour. With this knowledge, Westar hopes that Lawrence residents will do a better job of conserving it, which in the future could delay the need for Westar to build more power plants. Combined, 10 of the state’s 29 electric co-ops have installed almost 72,000 smart meters, about 25 percent of all their meters, said Dave Holthaus of Kansas Electric Cooperatives, the organization that serves all Kansas co-ops. He defines a smart meter as one that provides two-way communication between the home and the electric provider. Co-ops like being able to

HISTORIAN RICHARD NORTON SMITH kicked off the 2011 Presidential Lecture Series at the Dole Institute of Politics on Sunday. Smith has chosen four 20th century presidents for a new Mount Rushmore. Ronald Reagan was the first of his nominations, and future lectures will discuss Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Woodrow Wilson.
Historian discusses Reagan’s monumental legacy for 20th century Mount Rushmore By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com
Organizers were scrambling Sunday afternoon just minutes before presidential historian Richard Norton Smith began his talk about Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Staff and volunteers kept lining up chairs inside the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive. The crowd kept growing. Eventually, those who hadn’t come early to the first of the five-part 2011 Presidential Lecture Series were ushered into the overflow AP File Photo room, where they watched Smith on a large screen as he touched on numerous aspects of PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN, shown here in 1985, is one of the 20th century’s greatest presidents, histo- Ronald Reagan’s presidential tenure; everything from his gubernatorial campaign to his rian Richard Norton Smith says.
A.D. search cost KU just over $6K Volunteer patrol helps HEALTH CARE COSTS
fight Medicare fraud
By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com
Scammers who are trying to make a quick buck off the health care system are everywhere. Seniors and the disabled, who are on Medicare or Medicaid, tend to be prime targets. “There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t get several calls about something that’s happening here,” said Darrell Elliott, of the Kansas Department on Aging. “It seems like the individuals who are creating these scams come up with something creative every day.” Elliott is project coordinator for the Kansas Senior Medicare Patrol. There is a Senior Medicare Patrol, commonly called SMP, in every state. The program helps seniors and disabled people understand how to detect and report fraud. The program does this through volunteers, community presentations and partner organizations.
SMP reaches about 1.5 million seniors nationwide. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said SMP plays an important role in cracking down on health care fraud. “The more seniors that know about how to recognize and report these crimes, the more reluctant criminals may be to try them,” Sebelius, who is a former Kansas governor, said last week during a conference call. In 2010, the federal government recovered a record $4 billion in health care fraud and convicted 726 people. There were 140 indictments involving charges filed against 284 defendants who collectively billed the Medicare program more than $590 million. Please see VOLUNTEERS, page 2A

The bill for expenses related to Kansas University’s recent athletic director search totaled just more than $6,200. That’s according to records obtained after a Journal-World open records request seeking invoices from KU pertaining to the search that concluded when the university hired Sheahon Zenger. The total bill was far less than the search that resulted in the hiring of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little in 2009, which cost $162,000. That search was far more costly because of the involvement of a professional search firm, and because both the university and the Kansas Board of Regents incurred expenses from the search. The bill from the search firm alone totaled more than
$120,000 in the chancellor search. The documents also confirm some additional details Zenger about the athletic director search. For example, KU appeared to interview three separate candidates for the job. Two stayed overnight in the Raphael Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Dec. 6 and 7. One candidate is known, according to media reports. Bubba Cunningham, the University of Tulsa’s athletic director, was reported to have interviewed at KU before signing an extension at his current job. KU provided a document detailing Delta and United flights for a second candidate on Dec. 7. Though the university redacted details that would have revealed the flights’ original location, the candidate flew through

A third candidate — likely Zenger — appeared to have been interviewed on Dec. 30, when a plane flight went from Lawrence to Chicago and back. That flight likely carried GrayLittle to Illinois to speak with Zenger, who was hired on Jan. 2. That flight, a private flight, comprised the bulk of the expenses. It cost $4,627.65. The private flight was paid for with state funds, which is typical for KU
because of federal regulations governing private flights. KU covered the rest of the search expenses — conference calls, food for the search committee and advertisements posting the position opening — with private funds. Though Kansas Athletics Inc. reported it hadn’t incurred any expenses for the search to date, it will still be responsible for paying Zenger’s moving expenses, according to his contract. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Volunteers help cut fraud CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
In Kansas, the SMP recovered $59,000 for beneficiaries last year, and it helped people avoid paying a combined $15,000 in fraud costs. “If it feels uncomfortable and doesn’t feel right, you need to report it because that is one of the things that the scammers are counting on, is that people aren’t reporting this kind of thing,” Elliott said. Anyone who suspects a scam should call SMP at 1800-860-5260. Elliott said if he can’t help, he refers people to one of its 102 partner agencies, such as the Board of Healing Arts, Board of Nursing, U.S. Postal Inspector or Kansas Insurance Department. The Kansas Senior Medicare Patrol has 146 volunteers, including several in Douglas County. “Most of our volunteers are trained to keep their eyes and ears open for frauds and scams,” Elliott said. “So, if they see something inappropriate, they report it.” Sally Brandt, of Lawrence, received her training as part of becoming a volunteer for the Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas, or SHICK. She answers questions about Medicare and other insurance issues through a call center line. Brandt said when she gets a call regarding possible fraud, she takes down the appropriate information and passes it
FIGHTING BACK The Kansas Department on Aging’s Senior Medicare Patrol program is designed to reduce Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Call: ● 800-860-5260 — to report a scam. ● 785-296-0377 — to become a SMP volunteer or to schedule a presentation for your organization or group on fraud protection.

Reagan is historian’s first pick for new Rushmore CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
LECTURE SERIES
“He changed things,” said Smith, who is the author of several books and former director of the Reagan Presidential Library and the Reagan Center for Public Affairs. The lecture series was sort of a homecoming for Smith, who became the Dole Institute’s first director in 2001. Now a scholar in residence at George Mason University, Smith said he’s proud to see that the scholarship on all things political continues in the area. “It’s always great to come back, but it’s great to know that it’s living up to what Senator Dole wanted it to be: bipartisan setting; very high standards,” he said. Appealing to the history of the presidency — and not necessarily to liberals or conservatives — was the goal for the series, said Dole Institute

option for co-ops that have service areas that encompass several large counties, Holthaus said. Smart meters also make it easier to detect power failures, and to disconnect and turn on power. Leavenworth-Jefferson Electric Cooperative, which has a few dozen customers in Douglas County, started installing smart meters six months ago at customers’ request. “Consumers in general are looking for ways to save on their energy bill and are looking for ways to be helpful with the environment,” said Jennifer Fisher with the coop. “They wanted more options.” By 2012, the co-op expects to convert all of its 8,000 meters to smart meters. The cost to do so is $1.5 million. With the new meters, customers can get a time-of-use rate. At LJEC, the standard rate is 10.81 cents per kilowatt hour every hour of the day seven days a week. This is how customers typically purchase electricity. However, with the time-ofuse rate, customers have to pay a higher rate (17.89 cents per kilowatt hour) when they use electricity from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Any other time, customers pay a lower rate of 8.45 cents a kilowatt hour. The hope is that the higher rate will encourage customers to use less energy during the times of highest demand (usually in the late afternoon) when the co-op has to pay more for the energy it sends through the grid. Of the 1,600 smart meters the co-op has installed so far, around 100 customers have

Meters simplify energy efficiency
Options expanding So far, none of the co-ops offers anything nearly as elaborate as what Westar will have online for its Lawrence customers, providing information on hour-by-hour energy usage as soon as the next day. For many of the co-ops, a customer who wants a readout of his or her daily usage must call to the co-op to request it. That’s what customers at Kaw Valley Electric do. The co-op, which has about 1,000 meters in Douglas County, has been replacing mechanical meters with digital ones as its meter readers retire. So far, about half of the co-op’s 4,000 meters are digital. “Information storage is an issue. We were reading meters once a month. Now it’s every five minutes,” said Kevin Gregg with Kaw Valley Electric. “You come up with quite a bit of information, then it is a matter of how do you store it and what do you do with it?” As of now, the co-op records energy usage once a day. along to Elliott.

signed up for time-of-use pricing. “I think once folks have the chance to look at the benefits of the time of use rate and the kind of money it saves them more people will absolutely get on board,” Fisher said. After smart meters are installed in Lawrence, Westar plans to offer a similar concept as a pilot program for volunteer customers. Elsewhere throughout the state, co-ops have offered preferred rates to farmers and industrial users. For a lower rate, the co-op can shut down the farmer’s irrigation system during times of peak demand and the turn it back on when the demand goes down.
Some concerns Across the country, the deploying of smart meters have been met with some backlash. Concerns have been raised about increased radiation exposure, privacy issues and faulty calculations in how much electricity was actually being used. In California, some cities have placed moratoriums preventing electric companies from installing the devices until more research was done. But so far the co-ops in Kansas haven’t had to face any of those concerns, Holthaus said. And of the 100 customers who have decided to do time-of-use pricing, Fisher said just one or two have dropped out. “This is going on nationwide, it really is,” Fisher said. “This goes back to the consumer really wanting more choices.” — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

SANTA FE DEPOT
1 | CAIRO
Reform leader urges Mubarak to resign Egypt’s most prominent democracy advocate took up a bullhorn Sunday and called for President Hosni Mubarak to resign, speaking to thousands of protesters who defied a curfew for a third night. Fighter jets streaked low overhead and police returned to the capital’s streets — high-profile displays of authority over a situation spiraling out of control. Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei’s appearance in Tahrir, or Liberation, Square underscored the jockeying for leadership of the mass protest movement that erupted seemingly out of nowhere in the past week to shake the Arab world’s most populous nation. Now in their sixth day, the protests have come to be centered in the square, where demonstrators have camped since Friday. Up to 10,000 protesters gathered there Sunday, and even after the 4 p.m. curfew, they numbered in the thousands, including families with young children, addressing Mubarak with their chants of “Leave, leave, leave.” “You are the owners of this revolution. You are the future,” ElBaradei told the crowd after nightfall. “Our essential demand is the departure of the regime and the beginning of a new Egypt in which every Egyptian lives in virtue, freedom and dignity.” In a further sign of Mubarak’s teetering position after three decades in power, his top ally — the United States — called for an “orderly transition to democracy.” Asked if Washington supports Mubarak as Egypt’s leader, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton avoided a direct answer, telling Fox News: “We have been very clear that we want to see a transition to democracy, and we want to see the kind of steps taken that will bring that about.”
Without securing grant, city unsure of deal By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com
If city commissioners want to renovate and improve the Santa Fe Depot in East Lawrence, they’re likely going to have to take a bigger risk than originally planned. City staff members have confirmed that efforts to create a deal that would allow the city to buy the depot only if it first receives a grant to rehabilitate it have not gone well. “Given the amount of time it takes to put these transactions together, the railroad wants to have a greater amount of certainty about having a transfer
occur,” said Diane Stoddard, the assistant city manager who has been working on the deal. But that may be a tough pill for city commissioners to swallow. The city knows there are at least $600,000 worth of repairs that need to be made to the 1950s-era building at Seventh and New Jersey streets. Some of the repairs — such as improvements to bring the building up to ADA compliance — will need to be completed in a timely manner regardless of whether the city receives a grant. “It is fair to say there are a number of costs that would have to be addressed,” Stoddard said. But a group of area residents

Man arrested with explosives at mosque A 63-year-old Southern California man who was traveling with explosives in his vehicle with the intention of blowing up one of the nation’s largest mosques where mourners had gathered for a funeral was arrested in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan authorities said Sunday. Dearborn police said Roger Stockham was arraigned Wednesday on one count of making a false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possessing explosives with an unlawful intent. Stockham had a large but undisclosed quantity of class-C fireworks including M-80s, which are outlawed in Michigan, Chief Ronald Haddad said. Haddad said Stockham was arrested Monday evening without incident in the parking lot of Islamic Center of America, while a large group was gathered inside. He said police received a 911 call from a resident. 3 | HAITI
U.S. has no plans to stop aid The United States has no plans to halt aid to earthquake-ravaged Haiti in spite of a crisis over who will be the nation’s next leader but does insist that the president’s chosen successor be dropped from the race, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday. Clinton arrived Sunday in the impoverished Caribbean nation for a brief visit. She met with President Rene Preval and earlier met with each of the three candidates jockeying to replace him. Only two candidates can go on to the delayed second round, now scheduled for March 20. The U.S. is backing an Organization of American States recommendation that the candidate from Preval’s party, government construction official Jude Celestin, should be left out in favor of populist rival Michel Martelly. 4 | SEATTLE
Guard strangled at state prison A corrections officer who had raised concerns about being the sole guard in the chapel of a Washington state prison was strangled there over the weekend, and an inmate serving a life sentence is the primary suspect, authorities said Sunday. Jayme Biendl, 34, was found dead Saturday night in the chapel at Monroe Correctional Complex about 30 miles northeast of Seattle, Department of Corrections spokesman Chad Lewis said. She had been strangled with a microphone cord. The inmate, Byron Scherf, 52, was reported missing during a routine count at 9:14 p.m. Saturday.

BOB WANDEL, A MEMBER OF THE SONS OF UNION VETERANS, shows how much old headstones have sunk into the ground before restoration. Wandel has been trying to document Civil War soldiers’ headstones at Oak Hill Cemetery. So far, he has tracked down 600 veterans.

Bob Wandel is often a lone figure wandering around Oak Hill Cemetery. He sometimes recognizes other people when he’s out there, people who are walking their dogs or going for a run. But no one is doing what he’s doing — remembering, many times a week, the people who are buried there, and searching for those who have done great things. Wandel, 64, is a member of the Sons of Union Veterans, and for six years he’s been trying to track down Civil War veterans who are buried in Oak Hill, 1605 Oak Hill Ave. So far his search has yielded about 600 former soldiers, but he knows there are more to find, and some he might never discover. “I will never know if it’s complete, and I will never know that it’s exactly accurate, because the Smiths and Joneses and spelling names and everything else, it’s kind of hard to figure out,” he said. Wandel’s interest in the Civil War started as a child in Pennsylvania, when he would play Civil War games. Years later, his sister was cleaning out their mother’s house and was about to throw away some old photographs. Wandel took the photos and brought them back to

GET INVOLVED Wandel says the Sons of Union Veterans is always open to new members. The group meets at 6:30 p.m. the third Thursday of every month at the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass. The group always looks for stories related to the Civil War veterans he’s searching for. Wandel says the group also needs donations to pay for flags to put on the growing number of veterans’ graves for Memorial Day. To join the group, donate or get any other information, contact Wandel at wandel@sunflower.com or at 843-2385. Kansas, and in the process discovered some of his ancestors had fought in the Civil War. One died and was buried in Gettysburg, another lost an arm in the Siege of Petersburg. “I kind of got interested in that and got involved in the Sons of Union Veterans,” he said.
Detailed project Wandel, a former civil engineer with the state, later began his grave-mapping project. The first step, and the easiest, was finding the traditional Civil War veterans’ graves, marked with headstones with shields on them. Wandel, who is also a member of a Civil War re-enactment group, traveled around to neighboring counties to map those types of graves.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“
There is a strong desire among the extreme right wing of the Republican Party to get their pound of flesh from university and state employees.” — House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence, speaking about a proposed 7.5 percent state employee pay cut that was authored by Republicans. Then the intense work started. He gathered lists of names — he now has about 12 different lists — that show the names of soldiers who could possibly be buried in Lawrence and who had graves that weren’t marked by the traditional headstone. There’s the cemetery’s registry, the roster of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), militia rosters, census records, newspaper articles, pension records and many others. The collection of names never seems to stop. “Every time I come up with it, I keep getting more and more,” he said. “I’m finding lists all the time.” Wandel keeps a map of the

State Sen. Dick Kelsey, R-Goddard, has filed legislation to overhaul the Kansas tax system. He said his plan would make the system more fair and remain revenue neutral. The measure expands the state sales tax base but eliminates the corporate income tax over two years, removes the state sales tax on food, reduces personal income taxes and eliminates the 1-cent sales tax increase approved last year. “I believe my proposal will make our tax system more fair and more business-friendly, which will create jobs,” Kelsey said. It also applies the reduced sales tax rate to services, excluding health care services. The rate would be added to professional, scientific and technical services, administrative and support services, and personal care and tax services.

The shoveling service is a recent addition to the “Hire-AHabitat” program in which students perform odd jobs around Lawrence in exchange for donations to Habitat for Humanity. The program has raised more than $4,000 to help support local families in need of decent and affordable housing. “Providing a snow shoveling service helps KU Habitat contribute something tangible to the Lawrence community and allows us to expand our ability to serve,” said Jacki Murdock, vice president of KU Habitat for Humanity. “KU Habitat volunteers are a passionate group
of people. Providing this service allows us to stay engaged in service throughout the winter.” Residents can call Keaton Andra at 913-205-2933 or email kuhabitat@gmail.com to request a volunteer. The suggested donation amount is $25 an hour.
cemetery marked with all the Civil War veterans, and with that a photo album full of every veteran’s gravestone so he can find them easily. Many of the soldiers are concentrated in a few sections of the cemetery. Section 7 has a large grouping of soldiers from the GAR. Section 9 has a grouping of black Civil War veterans. Many others are spread around the other sections, and a large number were not originally soldiers for Kansas. “Not all of them died in the war but they came here to live after the war,” he said. “At one time, Kansas was called the soldier state, the reason being that after the Civil War there was free land or relatively cheap land out here, so you had a land rush.”

are starting to disappear. “There are some that you can’t hardly read,” he said. Wandel plans to keep working on his project although he knows he’ll eventually quit. He says he might not ever finish because the records are incomplete. For now, he plans to keep collecting the burial sites and the stories that go with them. “Kansas has a great history and we like to play up on that,” he said. — Reporter Brenna Hawley can be reached at 832-7217.
Stoddard said the railroad has confirmed that it is willing to sell the building to the city for a low- to no-cost purchase price. The railroad, though, won’t sell the land that the building is on. Instead it would offer a lowcost 30-year ground lease. Stoddard, however, said details of that proposed lease have created questions. The railroad wants the city to assume any environmental liabilities associated with the land. The city hasn’t studied whether there are any environmental liabilities. Stod-
dard said she’s not confident the railroad is willing to budge from that position. The depot currently serves as the Amtrak station for the city. Maynard-Moody’s group has been working to generate interest in the local Amtrak service. Ridership at the Lawrence station has increased by 13 percent in the last year, better than the 6 percent increase Amtrak experienced nationally. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

Capitol Briefing: news from Statehouse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A
Costs for lobbying may rise dramatically The army of lobbyists that follows legislators around would see a big fee increase under Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget proposal. That’s because Brownback proposes taking away $230,000 from the Kansas Governmental Ethic Commission in state funding. The agency would have to make that up through increases in its fees. That means tripling fees for lobbyists. For example, a lobbyist who spends more than $1,000 wining and dining legislators pays $300 per year to register as a

On Memorial Day, the Sons of Union Veterans group works with Cub Scouts to put flags on all the veterans’ graves. For those veterans whose burial sites are either missing a headstone or have one that’s broken, Wandel will order a new one from the Department of Veteran Affairs. Some stones have sunk into the ground, and Wandel will work to raise them up and reset them. For others, he has used a solution to clean off the green moss growing, obscuring the names of those who fought for the Union. Many stones are so weatherized that the names
City hesitant to buy Santa Fe Depot without first getting grant grants for the depot, with the hope of negotiating a deal to purchase the depot after receiving a grant. But both Maynard-Moody and Stoddard said it may be difficult for the city to win a grant for a building it does not own or have a contract to own. “If we own the building, the chances of us getting a grant for the rehabilitation go up 100 percent,” MaynardMoody said. “Without ownership, our chances of getting a grant aren’t good.”

Man working to recover, preserve Civil War history
Keeping history alive And behind each tombstone, there’s a history. Some died from wounds suffered during the war. Some lived on for many years after. Some were surveyors, and some became hermits. “There’s always a story behind it,” Wandel said. But many of those stories have been lost, and Wandel hopes his project will bring out more of those stories. “These individuals, their families are pretty much all gone,” he said. “I’d like to see them preserved. We’d like to see young people come into the group so that they can also keep track of these things.”

U.S. factories uphold edge despite China’s industrial force By Paul Wiseman Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — U.S. factories are closing. American manufacturing jobs are reappearing overseas. China’s industrial might is growing each year. And it might seem as if the United States doesn’t make world-class goods as well as some other nations. “There’s no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products,” President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union address last week. Yet America remains by far the No. 1 manufacturing country. It out-produces No. 2 China by more than 40 percent. U.S. manufacturers cranked out nearly $1.7 trillion in goods in 2009, according to the United Nations. The story of American factories essentially boils down to this: They’ve managed to make more goods with fewer workers. The United States has lost nearly 8 million factory jobs since manufacturing employment peaked at 19.6 million in mid-1979. U.S. manufacturers have ranked near the top of world rankings in productivity gains over the past three decades. That higher productivity has meant a leaner manufacturing force that’s capitalized on efficiency. “You can add more capability, but it doesn’t mean you necessarily have to hire hundreds of people,” says James Vitak, a spokesman for specialty chemical maker Ashland Inc. The industry’s fortunes are brightening enough that U.S. factories are finally adding jobs after years of shrinking their payrolls. Not a lot. But even a slight increase shows manufacturers are growing more confident. They added 136,000 workers last year — the first net increase since 1997. What’s changed is that U.S. manufacturers have abandoned products with thin

CAIRO — Foreign governments stepped up their warnings Sunday about travel to Egypt, with several urging their citizens to evacuate as soon as possible amid uncertainty over where the Arab nation is headed after nearly a week of mass protests. The fears of foreign tourists mirrored those of many Egyptians. Dozens with the means to do so rented jets or hopped aboard their own planes in a mad dash that did little to boost confidence in the future of a country long viewed as a pillar of stability in a restive region. Those leaving included businessmen and celebrities. The United States, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey and the Netherlands issued advisories encouraging nationals already in Egypt to leave and telling those who planned trips there to reconsider. The U.S. Embassy in Cairo said it was making arrangements to transport Americans who want to leave to “safe haven locations in Europe.” Flights would begin today. Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Janice Jacobs said it will take several flights in the coming days to accommodate all Americans who want to leave. Jacobs, who is in charge of

AN EGYPTIAN TANK ENTERS TAHRIR SQUARE in Cairo with anti-Mubarak slogans painted in Arabic on Sunday. With mounting protests, governments have been advising foreigners to leave Egypt as soon as possible. consular affairs, said the U.S. may also send planes to other cities in Egypt, such as Luxor, if there are a number of Americans stranded there. Americans taking the charter will be billed for the flight and must make their own travel arrangements home from Europe. Canadian Foreign Affairs
Minister Lawrence Cannon said its charter flights will begin as early as today to fly Canadians who wish to leave to locations in Europe. A growing number of countries — including China, Australia, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Poland — warned against travel to
most, if not all, of Egypt. Arab nations, including Iraq, either sent in jets or offered to do so. “If I had a visa to anywhere, I’d join them. But that’s not going to happen,” said Mohammed Khaled, a 28year-old Egyptian doctor. “Right now, I’d settle for a gun, but I can’t even find one of those.” Surging lawlessness on the streets after the muchreviled police essentially melted away prompted neighbors to form armed patrols. But crowds of men armed with shovels, sticks, clubs, chains, guns and even whips did little to project an image of stability. Compounding the problem was a continued Internet outage after the government cut off service Friday to undercut protesters’ ability to organize demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak. U.S. Embassy officials said they were unable to send text message alerts — which have been blocked nationwide since late Thursday — complicating efforts to distribute advisories.
“
There’s no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products.” — President Barack Obama profit margins, like consumer electronics, toys and shoes. They’ve ceded that sector to China, Indonesia and other emerging nations with low labor costs. Instead, American factories have seized upon complex and expensive goods requiring specialized labor: industrial lathes, computer chips, fighter jets, health care products. Consider Greatbatch Inc., which makes orthopedics and other medical goods. The company is expanding its manufacturing operations near Fort Wayne, Ind. Greatbatch wanted to take advantage of a specialized work force in northeastern Indiana, a hub of medical research and manufacturing. “When you’re talking about medical devices, failure is not an option,” CEO Thomas Hook says. “It’s a zero-mistake environment. These products are customized and high-tech. They go into patients to keep them alive.” Hook says the United States offers advantages over poorer, low-wage countries: reliable supplies of electricity and water, decent roads. And some localities support businesses by providing infrastructure and vocational training for potential hires. Still, economist Cliff Waldman of the industry research group Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI doubts that U.S. factories will continue to expand their payrolls in the long run. Manufacturing, he says, is “not a job creator for the U.S., basically.” Global competition will always force factory managers to try to replace expensive workers with machines or with low-wage labor overseas, Waldman says.

Sound decision Hiring experienced officers for open slots in the Lawrence Police Department was a good business decision.
E
xperience often is among the key factors companies consider when hiring new employees. Is it an entry-level job, meaning experience isn’t that important? Or is the job key to the company’s immediate success, meaning experience counts? The Lawrence Police Department (the company) serves and protects the city’s residents (its customers). The police department, under interim police chief Tarik Khatib, made a sound business decision to go with experience when filling six open positions on the police force. In this instance, experience counts. When advertising for the jobs last November, the department asked for officers with at least two years of experience. It was the first time department leaders had used this tactic since 2001. Last Monday, six law enforcement officers, all veterans from across the state, were sworn in as Lawrence police recruits. The new officers hail from the sheriff’s departments of Jackson, Seward and Hamilton counties, the Kansas University Public Safety Office and the Bonner Springs Police Department. Because they have experience, the officers will be on the street within a month, starting with three months of field training. Had they been fresh recruits, the department would have had to wait 23 weeks while the new hires were trained at the police academy before starting their field training. That’s most of a year before they would be full-fledged officers — and that assumes they pass the muster. For the city, hiring experienced officers makes sense. The new hires come with on-the-job experience and are on the street months earlier. It’s a good business decision for the department.
Obama recovery challenges GOP JACKSON, N.H. — There is snow on the roof of the red covered bridge, the whoosh of crosscountry skiers in the fields, a bustle in the village despite temperatures in single digits. The other night the moon glistened, and so did the ice below. This seems a world apart. Nearly a half-century ago, the election chronicler Theodore H. White came to New Hampshire and found that “this bit of green and forested country is a byway,

Washington but itching for the keys to the White House is to campaign against a president in the odd position of having obstacles in the capital that are greater than ever, but prospects in the nation that are more promising than they have been in months.”
a beautiful anachronism sheltered from the present by an exemption of history.” That exemption is gone now, repealed by the technological revolution that brings the outside world into every chilly hand that clasps a mobile device. North Country towns that in my father’s day were eight hours from Boston can be reached now in two hours 20 minutes. Isolated crossroads where, within my own memory, farmers wrestled with rabbit-ear antennae on their televisions that have long been connected by cable. Even so, New Hampshire is a place apart. So, too, is North Dakota, but the difference is that every four years since 1912, New Hampshire has offered itself up as a political testing ground, its first-in-the-nation primary status now firmly established.
Long road to Washington And in the primary’s centennial run, the distance from New Hampshire to Washington — measured in days and the steps of horses in the 19th century, but now by only 109 minutes on an E170 aircraft — seems as far as ever. That’s because the Republicans in Washington are seeking to maneuver against President Barack Obama rather than to run against him. These are different tasks, calling for different kinds of politics — and, as the list of likely GOP candidates shows,
different kinds of men and women. The campaign is taking shape against the backdrop of unusual change in the Washington political landscape. For instance, Mr. Obama is mounting a pro-business offensive — his appointment of General Electric’s Jeffrey R. Immelt as his chief economic adviser and his remarks in last week’s State of the Union message are the latest examples — that may transform the political calculus almost as fundamentally as last autumn’s midterm congressional elections. It is not unusual for business leaders to complain about Democratic presidents, but their complaints about Mr. Obama had special credibility because the president, known for tossing a brick or two at Wall Street and the banks, has had unusually little exposure to them. John F. Kennedy chose C. Douglas Dillon, a Wall Street banker and Republican with close ties to the Rockefellers, as his treasury secretary and Lyndon B. Johnson retained him for 16 months. Robert S. McNamara, a Harvard Business School graduate and teacher who was president of Ford Motor Co., served as defense secretary under both Kennedy and Johnson. Luther H. Hodges, the commerce secretary in that period, was a probusiness governor of North Carolina responsible for the development of the state’s Research Triangle. Jimmy Carter’s first treasury secretary was W. Michael Blumenthal, who had a business degree and a Ph.D. in economics and had been president of Bendix International. Bill Clinton was so surrounded by business executives and veterans of the bond markets — in some ways, Robert
E. Rubin, a onetime co-chairman of Goldman Sachs, was his most influential adviser — that he was criticized by traditional Democratic interests. But Mr. Obama had no such coterie — until recently. Now he has bulked up on business types and instituted policy changes that could not have been imagined by some of the activists who supported his candidacy.
Shades of Reagan Then this month came his extraordinary initiative on regulation, with Mr. Obama vowing to sweep away Washington interference in a way that might make you think Ronald Reagan were in charge. In some ways, the Reagan ethos is. The president, who announced his offensive in a Wall Street Journal column, now is warring against regulations “that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive.” This so shocked the body politic that the editorial page of the Journal, the trustee of the Reagan flame, wrote: “Liberals have spent years dismissing warnings that their agenda created uncertainty and harmed the economy, and then they wake up to find their leader on the Wall Street Journal editorial page disowning ‘unreasonable burdens on business.’” Now I think it is possible to say that you have seen everything. And now it is clear why, in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, some 45 percent of the public characterized the president in mid-January as very or somewhat liberal — 10 percentage points below the 55 percent who described him that way a year ago. This came at basically the same time when, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post Poll, 78 percent of the pub-
lic approved of the president’s response to the Arizona shooting incident. The job for the Republicans far from Washington but itching for the keys to the White House is to campaign against a president in the odd position of having obstacles in the capital that are greater than ever, but prospects in the nation that are more promising than they have been in months. This conundrum is summarized crisply by Thomas D. Rath, a former Republican New Hampshire attorney general. “Do four or five good weeks erase two years of rudderless policy?” asks Mr. Rath, a prominent figure in the 2008 campaign of Mitt Romney who likely will help the former Massachusetts governor if he mounts a second campaign. “The president is a very popular guy with a lot of personal qualities people identify with. But the American people will have to make a judgment about whether they want him to be president after 2012.”
Running against Obama The challenge Republicans face here in New Hampshire — where this month the GOP elected a new state chairman with strong tea party links — is how to run against a newly resurgent Mr. Obama, whom they know has peerless campaign skills, an appealing personality and an unusual ability to become a repository for voters’ unspoken impulses and desires. What they didn’t know was how deftly and swiftly Mr. Obama, after stumbling in the White House and suffering a devastating midterm defeat, could jump on the comeback trail just as they were starting out on the campaign trail.

To the editor: Gov. Brownback wants Mike O’Neal to define “suitable education.” Brownback says “we have faced repeated legal action because no one knows what a suitable education actually means.” Brownback is willfully ignorant of the Kansas Constitution. Kansas’ constitution does not require the state to provide “suitable public education” but rather “suitable finance” of public education. Article 6, Section 6, states “The legislature shall make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state.” The constitution defines the educational interests of the state in Article 6, Section 1: “The legislature shall provide for intellectual, educational, vocational and scientific improvement by establishing and maintaining public schools.” The state has already defined “intellectual, educational, vocational and scientific improvement” and has commissioned and conducted multiple cost studies which define the necessary funding. “Improvement” does not mean stagnation. Nor does it mean scaling back to 1999, or returning to rudimentary reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic; as Speaker O’Neal has
implied. Improvement means improvement. The courts are clear on this. If I thought it might help, I would send Brownback a dictionary and a copy of the Kansas Constitution. Sadly, that would only waste my time and money. The truth is that Sam Brownback doesn’t like the real answers to these questions; because the real answers don’t fit his anti-public-school, anti-tax agenda. Brownback does not intend to uphold the Kansas Constitution. By defining “suitable,” Brownback thinks he can exonerate his plan to gut public education and drive our children’s opportunities back to the late 20th century. David Reber, Lawrence
Liquor fight To the editor: “A new coalition that includes chains such as Walmart, HyVee and Quiktrip is pushing to change Kansas laws regulating where beer and hard liquor are sold in the state.” (Journal-World, page 1A, Jan. 27). This “liquor by the grocery store,” legislation will lead to underage drinking on an unprecedented scale. And youngsters won’t buy the liquor; they’ll

OLD HOME TOWN shoplift it. The challenge to law enforcement will be enormous. Gov. Sam Brownback campaigned on a family values platform. Brownback’s party, also known for its family values orientation, has a large majority in the Kansas Legislature. The Bible says, “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Corinthians 14:1). In keeping with the family values tenor of his campaign, the governor should fight this “liquor by the grocery store” law vigorously. And Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach could use his extraordinary powers of persuasion right here in Kansas to oppose “liquor by the grocery store” legislation as well. If interests based outside the state proposed legislation to loosen marriage laws in Kansas, one assumes that Gov. Brownback and many legislative leaders would fight such a movement tooth and nail. One hopes, therefore, that when it comes to a law promoted by outside interests to loosen the laws on purveying hard liquor in the state, the governor will fight tooth and nail to support the families of Kansas and to oppose “liquor by the grocery store” legislation.

BRIEFLY Trooper shot during traffic stop

Wichita television station KAKE reported the trooper had pulled a vehicle over on the southeast edge of the city around 11:30 p.m. Saturday when the driver pulled out a gun and fired at the officer. Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees says a 45-year-old has been arrested and was being held for probable cause on a charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer. The man was being held without bond. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.
GREAT BEND (AP) — A 7-yearold central Kansas boy has died after being run over by a tractor while helping his family feed cattle. Barton County Undersheriff Larry Holliday says the accident happened around 4 p.m. Saturday on a farm in northwest Barton County. The Hutchinson News reported the boy’s name has not been released at the family’s request. Holliday says the family was feeding cattle when the boy opened a gate to a cattle-feeding area and ran toward the tractor as it moved between pens. The youth was pronounced dead at the scene. Holliday says the death is being investigated as an unattended death.

Assistant honored to accompany Robinson By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Kansas University director of basketball operations Barry Hinson, who had just spent five days with grief-stricken Thomas Robinson, shared a final thought with the sophomore power forward Friday afternoon in the parking lot outside Allen Fieldhouse. “As he was getting out of my Jeep, I said, ‘In all honesty, I want to let you know I thought you left as a kid, and you came back as a young man,’’’ Hinson said. He and Robinson flew to Washington, D.C., a week ago today and returned Friday afternoon, a day after the funeral of Robinson’s mother, Lisa, who died of an Hinson apparent heart attack on Jan. 21. “It’s something I’ll never forget the rest of my life. I certainly learned a lot. I’m getting ready to be 50 years old, and I just learned a lot from a 19-year-old young man,” Hinson said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of him. He dealt with it absolutely as best you could. I mean, we had to plan a funeral. We had to check on family members. We had to take care of business in a matter of 72 hours. I’m fortunate both of my parents are still living. I’ve never had to do this.” Hinson and Robinson — whose grandmother and grandfather also died in the past month — headed straight to Lisa’s apartment upon arriving in D.C. to pick up Robinson’s 7-year-old sister, Jayla. “That was incredibly emotional,” Hinson said. “We didn’t stay there very long for obvious reasons. “It really hurt ... but we had to do so many things while we were there. My dad has a saying, ‘You’ve got to make hay.’ We were trying to make hay as fast as we could. For Thomas ... the grieving process had to be interrupted for funeral planning, estate planning, scholarship planning, setting up meetings, things like that. “Thomas was a trooper. He would go to the meetings and handle them. I can’t tell you how proud I am of him.” Hinson said several individuals stepped up in the planning of Lisa Robinson’s funeral, held at noon Thursday at Antioch Baptist Church in D.C. “Thomas’ brother, Jamah (who is in mid 20s) was phenomenal. He did an enormous amount of work,” Hinson said. “Angel Morris (mother of KU’s Morris twins) ... the NCAA allowed her to go. I’ll be quite frank. If Angel hadn’t been on the trip, I don’t know if the funeral would have taken place.”

DUKE COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI TALKS WITH HIS TEAM during the Blue Devils’ 76-60 victory Jan. 15 against Virginia. Ranked No. 3 in the country but sure to fall after Sunday’s 93-78 loss to St. John’s, Duke is the early betting favorite to win the NCAA championship, but the field is so wide-open, the Devils’ 3/1 odds seem a bit of a stretch.
Duke odds-on favorite to win it all A Google of “odds to win the NCAA basketball championship” brought me to vegasinsider.com, which I guess makes me a Vegas insider of sorts. Not surprisingly, Duke has the best odds to win it all for what would be the first successful defense of a national championship since Florida did it in 2007. If superstar freshman point guard Kyrie Irving returns, which at this point seems like a probability, though not a certainty, Duke’s the smartest choice, even after Sunday’s 15-point loss to St. John’s at Madison Square Garden. The Blue Devils had to learn how to play with Irving, then without him, and if he’s able to return from a serious big-toe injury being treated without surgery, they’ll have to learn how to play with him again. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has figured out bigger challenges, such as taming massive egos and getting them all to listen to one voice on the way to an Olympic Gold medal.

MARK DUNLAP POLISHES a Super Bowlthemed saddle in Fort Worth, Texas.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will really know they’re in Texas when they get to their hotels and see the handmade saddles waiting for them, made especially to mark their visit. “They can go to Miami, they can go to New Orleans and have Super Bowls,” said Mark Dunlap, general manager of M.L. Leddy’s, the saddle maker. “What, if any, object speaks about those communities any better than a saddle that represents Fort Worth and
Texas? I can’t think of a better thing to put up.” The two saddles — an AFC one and another for the NFC — will be just one of the Texas touches evident when the teams, fans and media arrive for the NFL championship being played in the Dallas Cowboys’ new $1.3 billion home Sunday. There also will be the annual World’s Original Indoor Rodeo, the twice daily cattle drives and a rental-car lot the size of Rhode Island. Well, not really, but it seems like it.
The leading attribute in Texas? How about hospitality? From the beginning, the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee emphasized a regional effort that envisioned more volunteers than previous host cities and key events spread across the 30 miles that separate Dallas and Fort Worth. And don’t forget about Arlington, halfway in between. That’s where the game will be played at the home of “America’s Team,” regardless of what everyone heard when the Packers and
Steelers whooped and hollered about “going to Dallas!” “You have a western goal post where the AFC team is going to be,” said Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief. “You have an eastern goal post where the NFC team is going to be. And then the 50-yard line is Arlington.” The site also has another Texas pastime covered: driving. Arlington remains the largest city in the country without mass transportation, and the Dallas Please see SUPER BOWL, page 10B

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers have taken regular seasons off before and still won championships, but their loss Sunday to the Celtics shows they have a long way to go to match up with the league’s elite teams. January 30, already? (Yawn) OK, how are we doing in the West? Second place? Who’s in first? SAN ANTONIO? We better get to work! Everywhere else, the dog days run from the trade deadline, the week after the AllStar break, to April 1. In Lakerdom, they start on Christmas and have lasted as long as the second round of the playoffs, as in the 2009 debacle, er, series against Houston. In a handy lesson, the Lakers were on their way to winning a title in 2009, all appearances to the contrary. All appearances to the contrary, they weren’t dethroned Sunday when the Boston Celtics walked all over them in a 109-96 object lesson in who’s whom in the pecking order. We’re talking humiliation ... Celtics fans chanting “Beat L.A.!” ... Celtics fan Matt Damon and friends yukking it up courtside between the Lakers’ bench and superfan Norm Pattiz. Happily for the Lakers, their world couldn’t end Sunday. It says so on the NBA schedule: Tuesday — Houston. Thursday — San Antonio. Saturday — at New Orleans. As Coach Phil Jackson said when asked about losing to all the good teams, smiling beatifically: “Is it the playoffs yet? “... We’re playing regular-season games. We’ll get there in time.” Or not. That happens to Phil’s teams, too, although, amazingly, only eight times in 19 seasons. His other 11 teams won titles. Several, especially with the Lakers, looked almost as bad as this one. Other than that, of course, things are grim in Lakerdom. If the Celtics are the best thing going, the Lakers have been as bad against the No. 2-3-4 best things, 0-4 against the Miami Heat, Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Celtics ... losing by 16-15-9-13. Whether it’s good news or not in Lakerdom, this was a special effort by your team. Of course, if the Lakers played this hard all the time, they would be two or three 1 games behind San Antonio instead of 7 ⁄2 and Sunday would have felt more like a loss in January than the latest sign the end is near. Before Sunday’s game, the question was whether the Lakers could play at the Celtics’ level. I guess they settled that. In a backwards way, the Lakers’ casual attitude gives them a lot of room to raise their game in spring, at least in theory. The Celtics not only bring it nightly, they play with a ferocity that’s scary with their shallow, creaky, smallish team having become so big, deep and efficient. With veterans Paul Pierce and Ray Allen shooting over 50 percent for the first time, the Celtics came in at 49.9 percent. The Celtics also outrebounded the Lakers, 43-30. Unfortunately, the Lakers play in Boston on Feb. 10 and that might not be enough time. Who, them discouraged? “If I say, yes, I’m concerned,” said Derek Fisher, “or no, we’re not playing as great as we’d like to play right now and that’s where the gauge is, what does that really tell us?” It tells us his dismay is his business, he’s been here before, it was always scary and this is the scariest yet.

JIM “BONES” MACKAY, THE CADDIE FOR PHIL MICKELSON, TENDS the flag for a shot from 72 yards over a pond that Mickelson needed to sink to tie Bubba Watson for the Farmers Insurance lead on the final hole. Mickelson missed, but made the birdie putt to finish second on Sunday in San Diego.
| SPORTS WRAP |
Other lefty triumphs at Farmers SAN DIEGO — The best Lefty at Torrey Pines on Sunday turned out to be Bubba Watson. Watson made clutch putts on the final two holes, including a 12-foot birdie on the par-5 18th for a 5-under 67 to win the Farmer Insurance Open in a finish filled with the kind of drama that few could have predicted. Phil Mickelson — the more popular Lefty and the Watson San Diego favorite — was one shot behind and was only 228 yards away in the rough when he decided to lay up before Watson even attempted his birdie putt. Then came a loud cheer as Watson sank his putt for a two-shot lead, meaning Mickelson would have to hole out a wedge from 72 yards for eagle to force a playoff. He had his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, tend the flag — rare for a full shot from the fairway — and the gallery gasped when the ball landed just behind the hole and started to spin back toward the cup. But it never had a chance. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland finished 1-over par at 289, good for a tie for 58th place. He shot rounds of 71, 69, 76 and 73 and earned $12,876.
GOLF Casey prevails at Volvo RIFFA, BAHRAIN — England’s Paul Casey sank a five-foot par putt at the last hole to win the inaugural Volvo Golf Champions for his first title in 20 months. Casey needed the putt at No. 18 at the Royal Golf Club on Sunday to secure the victory over playing partner Peter Hanson.

Hinson ‘proud’ St. John’s dismantles Duke of Robinson TOP 25 MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP
————
Red Storm rolls to 93-78 victory over Blue Devils The Associated Press
St. John’s 93, No. 3 Duke 78 N E W Y O R K — Teams that beat Duke have reason to celebrate. Teams that blow Duke out of the building should be able to party all night. So, how long will the St. John’s players be allowed to celebrate Sunday’s victory over Duke — a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated? “Coach Lav said we had two hours to celebrate and then we have to get ready for Rutgers,” senior forward Justin Burrell said, referring to firstyear coach Steve Lavin and the Red Storm’s next opponent Wednesday. Two hours? It will take longer than that just to go over the highlight plays of a game that St. John’s had won by halftime. Those last 20 minutes were just a formality. “I felt like we were ready. The guys wanted to play this game,” Duke guard Nolan Smith said. “We wanted to be here but they came out from the jump ball and kicked our butts.” It wasn’t that St. John’s (128) beat the Blue Devils (19-2), it was the way it happened. St. John’s was finishing a stretch of eight straight games against ranked teams. This win gave them three wins in that span. It was enough to have Lavin waving his arms to the crowd at a media timeout in the second half. “You’re caught up in the moment of the game and I wanted St. John’s fans to come to the party in terms of supporting the players on the court,” Lavin said. “We had this arduous stretch of games and having lost five of six, at that moment it was just wanting to jumper cable the crowd and bring energy for our players because they deserved a pat on the back and some appreciation for the yeoman’s effort and the cohesive brand of basketball they had been playing against the defending national champion.” The Red Storm, who had lost three straight and five of six, took control early and had a 46-25 lead at halftime. Duke, which came into the game shooting 40 percent from three-point range, missed its first 10 shots from behind the arc and made one of 13 in the half. The Blue Devils’ overall shooting wasn’t a whole lot better as they shot 29.6 percent (8 of 27) in the half — they entered the game shooting 48.1 percent from the field — and they were careless with the ball as well, committing 11 turnovers, one off their season average for a game.

ST. JOHN'S FORWARDS JUSTIN BROWNLEE (32) and Sean Evans, right, sandwich Duke forward Mason Plumlee. St. John’s squeezed the Devils, 93-78, Sunday at Madison Square Garden. St. John’s had a lot to do with how poorly Duke played, using a three-quarter court trap to force the Blue Devils into low percentage passes that almost all seemed to either be stolen by St. John’s or just thrown away. “It’s not an X’s and O’s thing today,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I felt we were not ready to compete, we had blank expressions on our faces and guys weren’t talking and that’s my responsibility. Our program didn’t do well today and that is all our responsibilities.” There was plenty of praise to go around for the Red Storm, who gave the Big East a 6-1 record against teams ranked in the top 10 this season.

No. 25 Michigan St. 84, Indiana 83, OT EAST LANSING, MICH. — Draymond Green made a go-ahead
BIG 12 WOMEN
Sims carries Baylor, 63-60 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — Texas A&M slowed Baylor star Brittney Griner. The Aggies couldn’t do the same to freshman Odyssey Sims. Sims tied a season-high with 25 points, and Griner had 17 points and 12 rebounds to help top-ranked Baylor beat No. 6 Texas A&M, 63-60, on Sunday. Sims hit a jumper in the lane with 26 seconds left to put Baylor (19-1, 6-0 Big 12) on top, 62-60. “When all else fails, she knows how to find the rim,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. Sims knew she had to take control after Texas A&M tied the game. “The game was on the line,” she said. “I had the ball in my hands, and I couldn’t run from the ball. I just created, got inside and was able to get the shot off.” A steal by Melissa Jones on Texas A&M’s next possession forced the Aggies to foul her. She hit the first of two free throws to make it 63-60 with 10 seconds left. The Aggies had a chance to tie it, but Sydney Colson’s
three-point attempt was short. The Aggies got the ball back but Tyra White’s desperation three-point attempt at the buzzer was also short. Sims has developed into a major threat to teams who focus on Griner after being thrust into action as Baylor’s starting point guard after twoyear starter Kelli Griffin quit just before the season. “That’s the difference,” Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said of Sims. “I don’t think there’s a freshman point guard in the country better than her. She’s got the ability to control in mid-air and bump into you and push off and be physical. Most freshman don’t know how to use that arm.” Mulkey was happy with the performance of Sims, but wasn’t quite ready to call her the best point guard in the nation. “I think (Oklahoma’s) Danielle Robinson has a little bit of seniority on her, but I coach this one, and I have this one for three more years,” she said. “Ask me that in three more years and I’ll be able to answer that then.” The victory is Baylor’s 16th straight and leaves the Bears
alone in first place in the Big 12 Conference. White led Texas A&M (182, 6-1) with 18 points. Baylor led by seven points before Texas A&M used a 103 spurt capped by a threepointer by Colson to tie it at 60-all with 49 seconds remaining before the goahead shot by Sims. “Truthfully, we didn’t get the ball to Griner enough, but give credit to A&M about that,” Mulkey said. “We understand that we have to get better in certain areas, and getting open today was very difficult for us.” Texas A&M played the last few minutes without Big 12 leading scorer Danielle Adams after she fouled out. BAYLOR (19-1) Sims 8-21 8-8 25, Hayden 2-4 1-2 7, Jones 1-6 34 5, Williams 1-1 0-0 2, Griner 6-10 5-8 17, Madden 0-1 0-0 0, Pope 1-2 5-5 7. Totals 19-45 22-27 63.

shot with 29.3 seconds left, and Michigan State held on. Hoosiers guard Jordan Hulls, who got tied up by Spartans center Derrick Nix with 1.2 seconds left, was long on a three-pointer just before the buzzer. Michigan State (13-8, 5-4 Big Ten) avoided its first four-game losing streak in four years. Indiana (11-11, 2-7) had a shot to beat back-to-back ranked teams for the first time in Tom Crean’s three seasons, but Jeremiah Rivers missed free throws that would’ve sealed the victory in regulation.

A snow and ice storm nearly ruined all the well executed funeral plans. “I’ll never forget it — 5 o’clock in the morning (Thursday), I got a phone call. There was no power at the church, and the streets hadn’t been cleared. People wouldn’t be able to get there,” Hinson said. “By 9 o’clock, we had the service back on. We were able to get this all done because of a tremendous amount of people helping.” The funeral itself was special — in large part because Robinson’s teammates and coaches flew in Wednesday night and were able to attend. “I think we are always sad at funerals because we lose somebody we love. The funeral and the path it took was a moment of celebration,” Hinson said. “There were times you cried. There were times you laughed. There were times for provoking thought. “I came back and told my wife, ‘Within the next month, I will plan my whole funeral out.’ I’m serious. I’ve never been that close to the preparation (of a funeral). I told her no question. I know exactly what I want to do, how I want to handle it for me.” Hinson did not return with the KU team Thursday afternoon. He spent an additional evening with Robinson. They had adjoining rooms at a D.C. hotel — “I’d check on him from time to time,” Hinson said — before the duo returned for practice Friday afternoon. “The healing process took the moment he got back on the practice floor,” Hinson said. “Being around his teammates ... I knew exactly what would happen. I’ve been coaching 30 years. I’ve seen this happen before. I knew when he got back among his friends and his family in Lawrence that he would be great. “He has so many friends. I kept getting e-mails. Somebody created a Facebook page for him. I kept showing my phone to him: ‘Thomas read this. Read that.’ I told Thomas, ‘The Jayhawk nation has literally put their arms around you and will have them around you for the rest of your life.’’’ A fired-up Robinson scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds in Saturday’s 90-66 rout of Kansas State. “He’ll be more than OK. You saw him today. How do you do that? How do you do what he did against K-State? It’s just courage,” Hinson said. “I’m like a proud father. I have my chest poked out so far.” Hinson — he praised the NCAA for working with KU all week and also allowing Robinson to set up a fund for his sister’s college education
— believes Jayla will be fine. “I had a chance to be around her father (with whom she’s living now). I really enjoyed visiting with him,” Hinson said. “The aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers ... there’s enough people there. She has a great support system there. “She is precious,” Hinson added. “She knew more how to run my iPhone — as a second-grader — than I did. I could already tell you she’ll be fine.” Hinson considers it an “honor” to have been the KU staff member who accompanied Robinson. Hinson said video coordinator Kyle Keller likely would have gone, but he was attending a ceremony for the 10-year anniversary of the plane crash that claimed the lives of 10 individuals associated with Oklahoma State’s team of which Keller was assistant coach. “I told coach (Bill) Self: ‘I am the most logical candidate.’ I was proud to go,” Hinson said. “I feel I’ve had great training because my dad is a minister. I’ve watched my dad deal with this his entire life. I’ve learned great lessons from him. I still am an emotional person. I haven’t cried that much in a long time. You cry because you care for someone. Obviously, we cared for Thomas, and it brought a lot of tears to a lot of people’s eyes.” Hinson’s eyes brightened when discussing a conversation with one of Robinson’s family members. “When it was time to leave, one of the grandmothers grabbed me and said, ‘I want to let you know you are part of our family for the rest of your life,’’’ Hinson said. “That was probably the best thing somebody could ever say to me. I’d be in a room and people would walk in, and here’s this little short basketball coach: ‘Who is that guy? We’ve never seen him in our life?’ By the time we left, she hugged me and said, ‘You’ll always be part of our family.’ Shoot ... I got invited to a wedding,” he added with a laugh. “I did feel part of that family after five days.” ●
Recruit on game: Kaleb Tarczewski, a 7-foot, 220pound junior center from St. Mark’s High in Southborough, Mass., was one of several recruits to attend the KSU game. “I just like the way Kansas plays basketball. The way they play is eye-opening to me,” Tarczewski, the No. 13rated player in the Class of 2012 told Rivals.com. “Coach Self and I just had a regular conversation when we talked. We were hanging out and having a good time together.” He has yet to put together his final list of schools.

OKLAHOMA CITY FORWARD KEVIN DURANT, LEFT, SHOOTS over Joel Anthony. Durant had some choice words for Miami’s Chris Bosh during and after Sunday’s game, which Miami won, 108-103, in Oklahoma City. Durant said. “Like I said, he’s not one of those guys that I look at and say, ‘Oh, he has a rap for talking back to guys or always getting into it.’ “No, he’s a nice guy. He’s not one of those guys, so I’m not going to let that type of person say something to me like that,” he added.
Danilo Gallinari added 29 points for the Knicks, who seized control early in the fourth quarter after it was tied through three. He made two three-pointers in a decisive 12-2 burst to open the final period, and New York went on to win for the third time in four games. Ben Gordon made seven three-pointers and scored a season-high 35 points for the Pistons, who have lost three in a row.

Durant rips Miami’s Bosh OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant drew a rare technical foul for jawing with Miami’s Chris Bosh in the first quarter of their game Sunday. And he wasn’t done talking. Asked about it after the game, Durant had more harsh words for Bosh. “I was talking to my teammate, and (Bosh) decided he wanted to put his 2 cents into it. I’m a quiet guy, a laid-back guy, but I’m not going to let nobody talk trash to me. He’s on a good team now, so he thinks he can talk a little bit,” Durant said. “There’s a lot of fake tough guys in this league, and he’s one of them,” Durant added. Durant says he was upset because Bosh got involved in his conversation with a teammate. Bosh says Durant was telling James Harden that next time, he should dunk on Bosh. Bosh had fouled Harden on the previous play to prevent a fast-break layup. “I think he was telling Harden to dunk on me, or dunk the next one,” Bosh said before giving a cleanedup version of the exchange. “I expressed that, ‘No, he’s not going to dunk that.’ And he expressed, ‘Yes, he is.’ It just kind of went back and forth.” Both Durant and Bosh were called for technical fouls. It was Bosh’s second of the season and the first that will count against Durant, who also had one rescinded earlier this season. “I’m no punk. I wasn’t even talking to him, first off. He decided to butt in and I’m not going to just let that slide, especially in our house,”

LOS ANGELES GUARD KOBE BRYANT, LEFT, LISTENS to Boston forward Paul Pierce during the final seconds of the second half. The Celtics outlasted the Lakers, 109-96, on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Durant said he considers Bosh “a cool dude” off the floor, but “once I step on the floor, all that stuff goes out the door.” “I don’t think it was anything to get a tech over,” Bosh said. “It was just talking. He stood his ground, and I respect that.”

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell
Dear Washington: How sad that this spoiled brat of a niece is destroying her family, and her parents allow it. Your motives are good, but it would be best if your husband talked directly to his sister. He should say that he is unhappy that there is an
It’s ’70s week with Sinbad Black History Month and pop-culture nostalgia converge on “Way Black When” (9 p.m., TV One), a three-week retrospective organized by decade, with a new host every week. Sinbad will host nightly through Friday, celebrating the 1970s with guest stars Jim Brown, the Emotions, Antonio Fargas, Dick Gregory, The Hues Corporation, Evelyn “Champagne” King and Freda Payne, among others. Next week’s 1980s-themed programming will be hosted by Niecy Nash. Chris “Kid” Reid hosts 1990s week beginning Feb. 14. ● Today’s television cookingshow hosts and stars owe everything to PBS superstar Julia Child, celebrated in the 2009 comedy adaptation “Julie & Julia” (7 p.m., Encore), starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Over the decades, cooking-show hosts have evolved from instructors to full-fledged personalities and entertainers. A good example of the latter can be found on the season-four premiere of “Cake Boss” (8 p.m., TLC), the series that mines sitcom-like laughs from the kitchen shenanigans at Buddy Valastro’s Hoboken, N.J., bakery. You know you’ve arrived as a celebrity chef when you receive a visit from other celebrity chefs. Tonight, superannoying daytime fixture Rachael Ray orders a special cake from Buddy’s bakery. In stark contrast to the contrived comedy of “Cake Boss,” the new series “Martha Bakes” (10 a.m., Hallmark) seems like a rather gentle throwback to a time when people watched cooking shows to learn something. In today’s debut, Stewart shows viewers how to bake her father’s favorite yellow cake as well as upsidedown fruit cakes and strawberry cupcakes. It’s pure Martha, and that means all Martha and only Martha. It’s not a comedy; it’s a cooking class. You might learn something, and bake something, after watching this. ● The oddly intimate talk show “William Shatner’s Raw Nerve” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Biography) returns with back-to-back interviews of Carol Burnett and Marilu Henner. In both conversations, Shatner keeps the focus on the personal and off the show-biz resumes. Burnett was recently seen on an episode of “Glee,” and Henner was part of a group profile of a handful of people with a rare ability to remember autobiographical details about every single day of their lives. That should come in handy on a show like this.
Tonight’s other highlights ● Domestic violence on “Human Target” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A savant (Mena Suvari) seeks revenge on “The Cape” (8 p.m., NBC). ● The founder of a social network is found murdered on the season finale of “Lie to Me” (8 p.m., Fox). ● “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “The Greely Expedition,” the story of an expedition to the Arctic in 1881 that ended in shipwreck and lurid tales of mutiny and cannibalism. ● Faced with eternity, Aidan has problems passing the time on “Being Human” (8 p.m., SyFy). ● Danny’s former partner is killed on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Harry defends the wrongly convicted on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A murder suspect seems out of this world on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Chris’ mother leaves him unsupervised on “Skins” (9 p.m., MTV).
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Jan. 31: This year, you often feel like someone puts the kibosh on your ideas or plans. Travel could be difficult, as could dealings with foreigners. If you are single, you could meet someone who might not be what he or she seems. If you are attached, as a couple you will gain from weekends away from your responsibilities. Libra seems to be more difficult than in the past. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Take a strong hand in an immediate situation. Perhaps a little less responsibility would make you happier, freeing up time for key priorities. Tonight: Head home ASAP. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ New information could toss your life into chaos. You also might discover that you are burdened by everything that you have to do at this point. Tonight: Read between the lines with a friend. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Work closely with a partner in order to get results. Your ability to

negotiate comes out. Tonight: Discussions seem to go on forever. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Your ability to read key people in your life needs to come forward. You could be tired and feel as if someone is dragging you down. Tonight: Let someone else decide! Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Maintain a steady pace. You could be a bit out of sorts. You'll get a lot done, quite quickly, if you focus on work, not people — just for this moment in time! Tonight: Stop at the gym. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Remain sensitive to your limits. Are they self-imposed? Are they realistic? If you know the answers to these questions, when a risk moseys along today, you will know which way to go. Tonight: Just be yourself. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Your fatigue or weariness with recent events breaks through, perhaps coloring your day. Tonight: Happy at home. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You seem to be at the right place at the right time. Many reasons could force a smile, but recognize that your per-
spective could be colored by the moment. Tonight: Clear out some hurt feelings. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ You might be overwhelmed. Just when you thought someone was coming through, you hit a snafu. Tonight: Take care of yourself first. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Pushing someone really doesn't get the desired results. Someone you need to answer to is very stern and/or direct, creating an unanticipated problem. Tonight: Do your own thing. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Don't push beyond your normal level. How you see someone and the choices you make reflect your inner self. Tonight: Vanish. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Consider dealing with someone differently than in the past. A partner does not see eye to eye with you and lets you know it in no uncertain terms. Tonight: Visit with a friend. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my husband and I moved across the country to help with his aging parents. Everyone welcomed me, with the exception of one niece who has gone out of her way to let me know that I am not part of this family. When this niece visited us as a teenager, she treated me the same way, but I attributed it to her being young. I even sent her money while she was in college and gifts for her birthday and Christmas. I thought she would outgrow her aversion to me, but she hasn’t. It may be due to the fact that I am reserved, quiet and not outwardly emotional. Or it could be because I am from a different culture. Some time ago, this niece said something quite hurtful to me in front of my husband, and he took her to task for it, even though I asked him not to. When the girl denied any wrongdoing, her mother believed her, and this has created a rift between my husband and his sister. We are now at the point where she no longer invites us to family functions. I’ve explained to my husband that this is about his niece’s problem with me and doesn’t mean his sister doesn’t love him. But that hasn’t

AFC RUNNING BACK JAMAAL CHARLES (25), of the Kansas City Chiefs, is chased down by NFC defensive end John Abraham (55), of the Atlanta Falcons, and lineman Justin Smith, of the San Francisco 49ers, during the second quarter of the Pro Bowl. The NFC won, 55-41, Sunday in Honolulu.
NFC wins Pro Bowl ————
DeAngelo Hall MVP of snoozer HONOLULU (AP) — A tropical rainstorm moved in from the Pacific and cleared just before the Pro Bowl began Sunday. What followed was a sloppy show that was not exactly riveting entertainment a week in advance of the Super Bowl. The NFC’s 55-41 victory, a game not nearly as interesting as that score would indicate, did nothing to repair the tattered image of the NFL’s allstar contest. New England’s Bill Belichick, the AFC coach and a man of even fewer words than usual, might have come closest to summing up the game with his mumbled cliche, “It is what it is.” MVP DeAngelo Hall had one of his team’s five interceptions and returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown to help the NFC match a Pro Bowl scoring record. He gets a new Cadillac for his efforts. “I was just about to buy another SUV,” the Washington Redskins cornerback said, “so to come out here and grab one for free, I like that.” AFC quarterbacks Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Matt Cassel each threw firsthalf interceptions to help the NFC blow open a 42-0 lead in a performance ugly even by the historically low standards of this game. Fittingly for this strange contest, center Alex Mack of Cleveland scored the final touchdown on a 67-yard pass play that featured two laterals with 16 seconds left. Carolina’s Jon Beason returned the fifth interception thrown by the AFC, and second by Cassel, 59 yards for the NFC’s final touchdown to match the single-team scoring record set in the NFC’s 55-52 victory in 2004. “It feels amazing. It was a

lot of fun,” Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson said. “We came out and put up a bunch of points and had some fun doing it, so it was a good day.” Belichick, after his Super Bowl favorite Patriots lost to the New York Jets in the divisional playoffs, had to watch his AFC squad muddle through a first half that ended 42-7.
Pro Bowls are, by their nature, laid-back affairs, seemingly played at half speed by players whose biggest concern is to get on the plane home without injury. The AFC, though, took that attitude to an uncomfortable extreme early on before coming back to outscore the NFC 41-13. The NFC led 42-0 after Steven Jackson waltzed through the AFC defense for a 21-yard touchdown — and 1 there still was 4 ⁄2 minutes left in the second quarter. Rivers, starting in place of injured Tom Brady, was picked off twice in the first quarter, the second by Hall. “You underthrow one just a hair and they intercept it,” Rivers said. “You get a deflection for an interception. ... They had all the breaks early.” Manning, in his 11th Pro Bowl, came on briefly in relief and his second pass was picked off. Then Cassel got his chance and quickly joined in the spirit of things, throwing his second pass of the game directly into the hands of Minnesota cornerback Antoine Winfield. But just when it appeared it would be the most one-sided game in Pro Bowl history, eclipsing the Joe Theismannled 45-3 NFC rout of the AFC in 1984, the AFC scored three touchdowns in a row. The last came on the game’s seventh turnover, when Devin Hester tried to hand the kickoff return to Hall, but the ball fell to the turf. Montell Owens of Jacksonville scooped it up and ran it in 10 yards for the score to make it 42-21 with 10 minutes left in the third quarter. With his seven extra points, tying a Pro Bowl record, along with two field goals, David Akers moved ahead of Morten Andersen (45) for most career Pro Bowl points with 52.
Super Bowl comes to Big D CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
area’s light rail service still hasn’t quite made it out to the area’s massive airport. Instead, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has a huge car rental center. The Super Bowl effort has been described as the most cooperative in the region since the airport that covers 30 square miles went up nearly 40 years ago, and organizers are perfectly comfortable with the idea that visitors will land, pick up their rental and drive who knows how many miles a day to find the action. Maybe it’s downtown Dallas, where the NFL Experience and media center aren’t too far from the site of JFK’s assassination and a slew of Super Bowl parties. Maybe it’s downtown Fort Worth, where Sundance Square sits under a huge longhorn cattle mural and figures to be one of the
heartbeats of Super Bowl week. Just west of downtown Fort Worth, rodeo cowboys will be riding bulls and young boys and girls will be showing sheep, goats and other livestock. A few miles north, cowboys on horseback lead real-life longhorns on a cattle drive down Exchange Street twice a day in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Customorder cowboy boots, hats, belts and buckles are plentiful. “For people that haven’t experienced Texas, I think it leaves a lot to the imagination,” said Shanna Weaver, spokeswoman for the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. “I think it makes them curious and anxious to come see what Texas is all about.” North Texas waited nearly 50 years for a Super Bowl in part because no one ever came up with a plan to put a dome on the Cotton Bowl, which was once home to the expan-
sion Dallas Cowboys. The weather is likely to remind these Super Bowl visitors why the game never came. Sure, Dallas-Fort Worth can warm you with Florida-like winter weather, but it’s not Florida. Early arrivals likely will learn that first hand, with a forecast for Super Bowl week calling for plummeting temperatures Tuesday and highs barely above freezing Wednesday. There’s a chance for icy precipitation, too. Organizers say they’re prepared for all weather contingencies. And they’re counting on the warmth of more than 10,000 friendly faces — mostly Texans — greeting guests with a smile. “That’s what we’re known for in Texas,” said Tara Green, vice president of the host committee. “We don’t have a beach. We have warm, friendly people, so we want to roll out the Texas red carpet."
