Stipends for student-athletes? KU has mixed feelings

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University football player Gary Green said an extra $2,000 could have gone a long way when it came time to pay the bills.

“Playing football is pretty much a full-time job,” with

practices, games and the like, said Green, a running back who played at KU from 2004 to 2008.

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors shelved a proposal this month to pay athletes a stipend of up to $2,000 after several of its member institutions pro-

Rob Schwarz, a consultant with RSP, warned the community working group tasked with closing elementary schools in Lawrence that they were playing a game of chess. Move one piece, and the rest of the board shifts.

Two weeks ago, the group had forwarded on to RSP seven scenarios for closing or consolidating schools.

At a Monday night meeting, RSP, an educational planning firm based in the Kansas City area, came back with detailed maps on how three of those proposals would change boundaries, population numbers, English as second language clusters and the socio-economic mix of each school.

Langston Hughes and Woodlawn were the only two schools that didn’t see any boundary changes under the three scenarios. And Schwegler’s boundary would only shift under one proposal.

In every scenario, hundreds of the district’s students would end up attending a new school.

“It gives a whole lot of students the chance for a new school experience,” Cordley parent Chuck Epp said. “Put negatively, it moves a lot of kids around.”

The Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group has been asked by the school board to reduce a list of six elementary schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to either three or four within two years.

The three scenarios reviewed Monday were:

It seems 2011 was the year for sitting — or perhaps cowering — in your house, not buying a new one.

Lawrence home sales declined by 14.7 percent in 2011 from the previous year, and sales of newly constructed homes plummeted by nearly 45 percent for the year, according to recently released figures from the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

Realtors said the local real estate market did deteriorate considerably in the second half of the year.

There wasn’t any real sense of urgency with buyers last year, and that feeds on itself.”

Diamond found in red kettle becomes ring’s centerpiece, heads for eBay

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@theworldco.info

The loose diamond left in a Salvation Army kettle at Christmastime has a new life: as the centerpiece of a ring that may soon be someone’s Valentine.

The Salvation Army is teaming with a Kansas City, Mo., jewelry store to auction the ring on eBay. Bid-

ding starts today and will go on until Feb. 7, with proceeds benefiting The Salvation Army.

“It is a very unique opportunity; we’re excited about it,” said Michele Heaver, The Salvation Army Corps officer for Kansas City, Kan. “The money that is gleaned off the auction will go toward helping needy families in our community.”

Hoping that auctioning a complete ring could bring more money for The Salvation Army, Meierotto has donated the ring, an 18-karat white gold setting with .5 carats of small diamonds covering the band and encircling the round center stone.

The setting has a vintage feel to match the diamond’s age, Ted Meierotto said.

about 100 men and about 40 women who would qualify for the stipend as written.

Second, he said, the proposal as written allowed a stipend of up to $2,000, but not more than the actual cost of attendance for a student. The proposal was meant to cover the difference between an athletics scholarship and the true cost of attending school.

At many schools, including KU, that difference would not reach $2,000, Marchiony said. A school like KU would be able to offer a stipend of roughly $1,200, he said, while others could offer the full $2,000.

“Then, it becomes a recruiting issue,” Marchiony said.

Green said he didn’t have much time to secure outside employment while playing football at KU. His scholarship paid the bills, but Green said the extra cash would’ve been helpful for him and other teammates, too.

“It was enough to live on if you managed your money right,” Green said of his scholarship money.

But with the extra stipend, he might have been able to buy some clothes or have a little bit extra to put away, he said.

Green, who lives in Lawrence, is attending seminary school and working in the social work field. He said even though he supports the NCAA proposal, he doesn’t think college athletes should be paid. That’s understood when an athlete is getting recruited, he said.

“We’re not a professional athlete, so we’re not entitled to anything,” Green said.

Marchiony agreed that many student-athletes lack the time to work given their coursework and team responsibilities.

“This is a way to give them something in return for what they give to the school,” Marchiony said.

general decline in appraised values. His office currently is setting those tax values, and change of value notices will be mailed in March.

It is taking longer to sell a home. The average days on market rose to 94 in 2011, up from 81 in 2010. The median days on market rose to 60, up from 44.

Added all up, the numbers suggest a local real estate industry that is in full weatherthe-storm mode.

“The last couple of years have been downturn years, no doubt,” said Bryan Hedges, president of Realty Executives Hedges Real Estate. “You just have to live through them. As far as last year, we’re just trying to forget.”

Real estate agents with several different firms, though, said there are signs of 2012 getting off to a better start. Unseasonably warm weather has helped bring out more potential buyers.

“For some home buyers, spring is already here,” Minnis said. “It seems like the general mood is more optimistic than it has been for a few years.

I don’t think we’re going to set any records for 2012, but I — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can think it is going to be better.”

boundaries would drop to between 50 and 70. That ratio left some group members uncomfortable.

But, other group members also didn’t like the idea of closing down Hillcrest and transferring what they considered to be a model ESL program to Sunset Hill.

Another major factor, Schwarz said, was looking at how much capacity the schools had left and which ones had room to grow.

Currently, Broken Arrow, Deerfield and Sunflower are at or approaching capacity.

Then there are schools such as Prairie Park that are far below capacity. All three of the proposals on Monday had the Prairie Park boundary move south to pick up more students in the Broken Arrow school boundary.

That was viewed as a positive change by many in the group.

ESL clusters and school capacity are key, Schwarz said.

“Until you address those issues, you are going to have difficulty in seeing what you want to see and ultimately, and you may not want to hear this, what is best for the district,” Schwarz said.

With four more proposals left to review and just two meetings remaining before the board’s Feb. 15 deadline, the group is short on time as it works to make a recommendation.

On Monday, Superintendent Rick Doll said that the group might be able to squeeze in an extra meeting between the deadline and when the school board would actually meet on Feb. 27.

The group will continue discussing scenarios at 7 p.m.

Utilities make case for interim rate hikes posal.

Under the measure, a 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 would then refund to customers the difference, plus interest.

Representatives of natural gas utilities said the measure would make regulation more efficient and encourage investment in Kansas.

Because it can take up to eight months to approve new rates under the current process, there is a “regulatory lag,” said Vance Crocker, general manager of Kansas Natural Gas Operations for Lawrence-based Black Hills Energy. Under the current system, once new rates take effect “they are already stale,” he said, and that makes it more difficult for investors

to recover profits.

This proves to be a disincentive in attracting capital investment to Kansas, he said. Crocker said interim rates are allowed in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. If Kansas passed the proposal, he said, the state would be seen as having a better regulatory climate.

The Kansas Corporation Commission is neutral on the bill.

David Wilson, speaking on behalf of AARP Kansas, said, “Rather than make energy service more affordable, HB 2512 makes it less so, by turning Kansas law on its head and allowing immediate rate increases.”

Wilson said although the bill applies only to natural gas utilities, if it is passed then electric utilities will seek legislation that would allow them to charge interim rates.

Kansas official defends food stamp policy as fair TOPEKA — A top Kansas social services official argued Monday that a new policy reducing or denying food stamps to hundreds of U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants is fairer to tens of thousands of other families, and some Republican legislators said they agreed with the change.

Michelle Schroeder, public policy director for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, also told the House Appropriations Committee that the change, introduced by her agency Oct. 1, was permitted under federal regulations. The U.S. Department of Agriculture funds the food stamp program, though states administer it.

The change affects how household incomes are calculated to determine eligibility for the food stamps program, now known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Previously, Kansas, like most other states, discounted a portion of a family’s income if some of its members couldn’t prove they were in the U.S. legally.

Proposal would make cairn terrier state dog TOPEKA — The dog breed that played Toto in “The Wizard of Oz” might become a state symbol.

At the request of a constituent, State Rep. Ed Trimmer has introduced a bill that would designate the cairn terrier as the official state dog of Kansas.

Brenda Moore of Augusta, who works with the South Central Kansas Kennel Club, is pushing the idea. She says the breed was chosen because of its role in the movie, to avoid any conflicts with owners of other dog breeds.

Trimmer told The Wichita Eagle that he knows the state faces serious issues and he hopes the Legislature does not spend a lot of time on the proposal. But he says he introduced it because his constituents thought it was important.

After outcry, owner rethinks fundraising idea Bakery wanted to battle hunger by hosting cupcake-eating contest

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

The owner of Cupcake Construction Co. has ditched plans to have a cupcake-eating contest Saturday to benefit the hungry.

Instead, Michael Kricsfeld is having a weeklong benefit that includes selling

cupcakes and donating the proceeds to Douglas County’s Just Food food bank and collecting donations of nonperishable food items.

Kricsfeld said he changed his plans when he saw the public’s reaction to a story and poll about the cupcakeeating contest posted Thursday on WellCommons.com.

“When we heard that Just Food could possibly lose money because existing donors did not like the idea, we knew it was time to change course,” Kricsfeld said. “We do care about the organization, and we do care about the community.

If it left a bad taste in your mouth, that was not our in-

tention in any way, shape or form.”

Originally, the cupcake business, 727 Mass., was going to donate all of the proceeds from three cupcakeeating challenges.

Now, it’s collecting food through Sunday. With every food donation, each donor will receive a raffle ticket to win one of three prizes donated by downtown Law-

rence businesses: diamond earrings, dinner and a movie, and a floral arrangement.

In addition, it is selling a limited number of gourmet cupcakes online. They are $10 for a four pack and $15 for a six pack, and all of the money from the sales will benefit Just Food. The cupcakes will need to be picked up Saturday.

Also on Saturday, the company will be donating 15 percent of all sales to the food pantry.

taking more than I’ve been giving. It feels so good to be kind of on the other side of that now.”

On Feb. 16, 2010, Barnes stepped away from his practice to battle chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. He had been fighting the disease for five years, and this was the third recurrence. This time, doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston recommended a bone marrow transplant.

After undergoing several months of grueling chemotherapy treatments, he was in remission and ready for the transplant.

Barnes said they found two perfect matches through the National Marrow Donor Program’s Be The Match registry, and his donor was a 46-yearold female; that’s all he knows for now. He hopes someday to be able to thank her.

Turn for worse Barnes had the transplant on July 15, 2010, which he calls his second birthday. He described

BRIEFLY County to mull sand pit operation On Wednesday, the Douglas County Commission will continue its consideration of a sand-dredging operation in a Kansas River floodplain north of Eudora.

On Dec. 7, after five hours of discussion, the County Commission postponed its vote on a conditional-use permit that would allow the Kansas City, Kan.-based Kaw Valley Companies Inc. to establish a sand pit and plant on 197 acres at 2102 North 1500 Road.

Residents who live along the road leading up to the plant have opposed the plan. The city of Eudora also has spoken out against the permit, saying it goes against the city’s comprehensive land-use plan and it could threaten the quality of its drinking water, much of which comes from wells that are near the sand pit.

In April, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended denying the permit in a 7-1-1 vote. The Eudora Planning Commission, Eudora’s planning consultants and Douglas County planning staff have also recommended not approving the permit.

Kaw Valley Companies would like the County Commission to send the permit back to the planning commission so the board can consider new information, such as an updated study on how the project would impact Eudora’s water supply.

County commissioners will meet at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Injuries reported in accidents over weekend A 15-year-old Baldwin City boy was in good condition Monday at a Kansas City hospital after a one-vehicle crash Friday evening.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman, said that at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Elliot Beeman was driving a vehicle north on East 1400 Road when it veered into the east ditch and struck a tree.

Beeman was flown to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., via a helicopter ambulance, and his passenger, Joszoyn Peery, 17, also of Baldwin City, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and later released, an LMH spokeswoman said.

Inattentive driving and failing to comply with license restrictions were listed as contributing factors to the crash. The crash occurred about two miles west of Baldwin City near the intersection with U.S. Highway 56.

Two Topeka men were also injured in a separate weekend accident on Saturday in extreme northwestern Douglas County.

Lewis said the men, Dayton Unrein, 28, and Matthew Thomas, 38, were riding allterrain vehicles and ran into each other about 10:15 p.m.

Saturday in the 100 block of North 2190 Road. Windy and dusty conditions contributed to the crash, Lewis said. Both men went by private vehicle to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, he said.

the transplant as pretty uneventful; he said it was like getting intravenous therapy. The goal was for the donor’s stem cells to take over his bone marrow and replace his bad cells.

Barnes said he responded so well that within three weeks, he was able to move into an apartment in Houston and visit the ambulatory care center daily. Then, he began having a shortness of breath, which escalated into respiratory failure. He ended up in the intensive care unit at the hospital, and he didn’t think he would make it out.

“Things were looking pretty grim at that point,” he said.

A month later, he left the hospital and moved back to the apartment. He had checked into the hospital weighing 194 pounds before the transplant, and he left weighing 158 pounds. He was barely able to step onto the bus to get to his apartment, and he was using a walker.

“I didn’t think I would ever do anything again, physically,” he said. “It was appalling. I was just skin and bones with no muscle tone.”

-"83&/$& t "3&" Road to recovery Three months after the transplant, he returned to his rural Lawrence home and continued to slowly gain strength.

He said the support from family, friends, colleagues and patients helped in his recovery. Not only did they turn out in droves for a bone marrow registry drive at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but they filled his CaringBridge website with well wishes.

“I’ve received so much support through all of this and I am so grateful. People have been so kind to me,” he said. “It’s been overwhelming.”

Barnes visits MD Anderson every six months and he sees Dr. Sherri Soule at LMH’s Oncology Center about every six weeks. He said his feet are numb, he has a rash on his chest and he can’t smell or taste very well, and then added: “They are just nothing things.”

“I feel every day is a gift,” he said. “I shouldn’t be here really. To be here working again is a blessing.”

He’s easing back into work per his wife’s and doctor’s orders.

Last week, he worked un-

til noon, seeing about five patients per day. This week, he’s working until about 3 p.m. and seeing between seven and 10 patients. He can’t see patients who have acute illness — a fever, cold or cough — because of his weakened immune system, so they are referred to his partners. He is able to do wellness exams and take care of injuries and chronic illnesses. He does believe his personal experience has given him new insight.

“Now, I think I have something to offer in addition to what I had before because of what I’ve been through,” he said. “I think we all have a tendency to lose perspective and I think this has given me new perspective.”

At age 62 and after 34 years of practicing medicine, a lot of people have asked Barnes: Why not retire? His reply is two-fold. First, he wants to retire on his own terms. Second, he loves his job.

“I really missed being part of people’s lives,” he said. “I get so much out of this. This truly is from the heart, I get more out of this than I give.”

Those who buy cupcakes online or at the store on Saturday also will receive a chance to win the prizes.

“We originally intended to do something fun and unique to raise as much money as possible for such a worthwhile organization. Instead of having people eat the cupcakes in a hurry, they can now purchase them in advance and enjoy them with their loved ones,” Kricsfeld said.

He said the cupcake company still plans to do an eating challenge in the spring, but it won’t be associated with raising mon-

ey for Just Food, which provided 880,000 meals last year for free to 84,699 people. It was a 21 percent increase from the year before.

Jeremy Farmer, executive director of Just Food, lauded the company’s decision.

“This shows just how much that company cares about its community,” he said. “By changing directions, he elevated our importance above his own, and I think that speaks volumes about any business owner that has a willingness to do that.”

LAWRENCE ON THE RECORD INJURY ACCIDENT • Two people received minor injuries but refused medical transport in a two-vehicle accident Monday morning on U.S. Highway 59 about two miles north of the intersection with U.S. Highway 56.

To work the wreck, law enforcement officers temporarily closed the highway from U.S. 56 to about one mile north of the accident.

A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper at the scene said the collision occurred when the driver of a southbound car fell asleep and drifted across

A 47-year-old Overbrook woman who was injured in a head-on crash Jan. 3 on U.S. Highway 56 has died, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The highway patrol has changed its online crash log to reflect that Jamie J. Ullery died Jan. 18 at Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., but troopers have not yet released any additional details about the accident. The crash occurred about nine miles west of Baldwin City, near Worden.

Ullery was a passenger in a westbound 2006 Grand Dodge Caravan that crossed the center line and struck an eastbound 2008 Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by Darren S. Othick, 45, of Baldwin City. Othick’s two children, Caleb Othick, 12, and Kara Othick, 10, have since been released from Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Joann J. O’Brien, 76, also of Overbrook, was the driver of the minivan in which Ullery was riding. O’Brien has since been released from Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., a hospital spokeswoman said Monday. Another minivan passenger, Alice Jean Beatty, 51, of Independence, Mo., was injured that day and taken to KU Hospital, but she was no longer listed as a patient there Monday.

Darren Othick said he had received outpatient treatment at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.

Suspects in Cirilla’s robbery arrested Police said Monday that a man and a woman who were arrested after a robbery last weekend in Wichita are possible suspects in Thursday’s armed robbery at Cirilla’s in Lawrence.

Tom Stolz, a Wichita deputy police chief, said that officers there arrested the two suspects after a robbery at a Wichita Subway restaurant and that they were suspected of committing two other recent robberies in Topeka and the one in Lawrence.

The suspects, a 22-year-old woman from Topeka and a 26-year-old man, were arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, according to Sedgwick County Jail records. They have not been formally charged.

The woman was also booked on charges of reckless driving and eluding police because of a vehicle chase after the robbery ended in Butler County. The man was booked on a Shawnee County warrant and a felon in possession of a firearm charge.

In the Lawrence robbery, police said officers were called about 3:15 p.m. Thursday to the adult store, 1206 W. 23rd St., about a panic alarm.

When they arrived, a female employee said a man with a handgun and a woman who did not display a weapon entered the store. No one was injured, but the employee said the male suspect took an undetermined amount of cash and the woman grabbed merchandise.

REDISTRICTING

Plans consolidate Lawrence in 2nd District

By Scott Rothschild

srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Lawrence would be consolidated into the 2nd U.S. House District under two congressional redistricting plans that emerged Monday.

And state legislators also had harsh words for a proposal that has floated up that would take Kansas City, Kan., currently in the 3rd District, and place it in the vast western Kansas 1st District.

“That just doesn’t meet my test of rationality,” said Sen. Tim Owens, R-Overland Park and chairman of the Senate redistricting committee.

State Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, said of the Kansas City-to-the-1st plan, “I will never be a part of a map like that.”

Ostmeyer said U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, who represents the 2nd District, brought that plan to his attention. “I was disappointed to see that map,” he said.

That proposal would also place all of Lawrence in the 3rd. Jenkins has said she wants to keep Manhattan, home of Kansas State University, in the 2nd so that there is a consistency in representation of the future site of the federal lab, called the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. Putting Kansas City, Kan., in the 1st would allow that to happen.

Jenkins says she has not endorsed any specific plan.

In a statement, Jenkins’ office said Jenkins enjoys representing Lawrence and would like the district to remain as it is but realizes the 1st must pick up population.

Several committee members said congressional incumbents have been involved in the Legislature’s work of redrawing district lines to accommodate population shifts and make the districts as equal as possible.

“You can’t allow the congressional delegation to muck up this process,” said Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka.

Currently, west Lawrence is in the 2nd District and east Lawrence in the 3rd. Hensley said putting the city in one district would right an injustice from 10 years ago when Republicans split the city.

The Senate committee is scheduled to vote on a plan Wednesday.

Arts tax checkoff draws little interest at hearing Putting fresh

By Scott Rothschild

srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A proposal that would allow a tax checkoff program for the arts drew no interest before a legislative committee on Monday as lawmakers continued to wrestle with Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of arts funding.

No one testified in favor or against the measure before the House Taxation Committee.

Chairman Richard Carlson, R-St. Marys, said the committee will probably approve the bill at some point. The legislation has about 40 House sponsors including House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson.

“It’s a fine way for individuals to be able to contribute,” Carlson said.

House Bill 2454 would allow taxpayers the option of adding a donation on their Kansas individual income tax form to the Kansas Arts Commission Checkoff Fund.

The monies would be used by the Arts Commission.

Last year, Brownback vetoed the Legislature’s $689,000 appropriation to the Arts Commission, making Kansas the first state to stop assisting the arts.

Brownback had said that private dollars would fill in the void and that the state would continue to be eligible for $1.3 million in federal and regional arts funding. Neither turned out to be the case.

The Arts Commission still exists but as an unfunded group. A private foundation for the arts has raised more than $100,000, according to Linda Browning Weis, who is chairwoman of the Arts Commission.

Weis said that she supported the checkoff proposal but that the Arts Commission had not taken an official position on it yet.

“We are open to all sources of alternate funding,” she said.

Sarah Carkhuff Fizell, spokeswoman for the Kansas Citizens for the Arts, which is working to restore state arts funding during the current legislative session, said of the tax checkoff, “This isn’t really public funding for the arts.”

The checkoff and a proposal to sell arts license plates will raise some funds but not nearly the amount that Brownback vetoed and the matching federal dollars that were lost, she said.

“We have to have a commitment by the state to fund the arts,” Fizell said.

If the legislation were approved, the arts checkoff would join four other, which include ones for Meals on

For example, in 2006, the Meals on Wheels checkoff received $219,000.

But the next year, it received only $132,000 as two more checkoffs were added.

And the total for the existing checkoffs has also been decreasing during the past five years.

Cram also noted that starting up the arts tax checkoff would cost approximately $88,000 for programming and testing to modify the automated tax system.

On another front, Brownback has proposed spending about $200,000 on a merged Arts Commission and Film Commission. The new Creative Industries Commission would allocate funds to artsrelated businesses that can show they can create jobs.

Public opinion City commissioners shouldn’t discount the concerns being voiced about a plan to alter its trash collection service.

C

ity commissioners apparently don’t have any qualms about forcing a new trash removal and recycling plan down the throats of Lawrence residents. They seem to be committed to the plan proposed by the mayor and his task force regardless of the opposition voiced by many.

Perhaps if the opposition for the proposed plan came from some special neighborhood group in Lawrence or a group of residents who thinks a building permit should be denied because a building casts a shadow on their coffee-drinking area commissioners would pay more attention and be more cautious in calling for a change in the city’s trash collection service.

Recycling and saving the environment is a hot, politically correct topic, but, at the same time, commissioners should be aware of the hardships and added expenses that would result from a trash collection change and apply some common sense to the issue.

It would be wrong to put every controversial issue that comes to the commission up to a public vote, but commissioners should be careful not to adopt a manner and attitude that they know best and members of the public really don’t understand or don’t have the intelligence to make the right judgment on major issues.

Serious charge

GOP stands alienating Hispanic voters Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich, under pressure from his party’s establishment, pulled a Spanish-language ad in which he had accused his rival Gov. Mitt Romney of being “anti-immigrant.” But was the ad really unfair?

The question will not go away, and will haunt Republicans for the remainder of the race if Romney wins the Republican nomination. President Barack Obama’s campaign will surely make the most of it.

Gingrich yanked the ad, which claimed that Romney is “the most anti-immigration candidate,” after conservative Hispanic Sen. Marco Rubio complained that it was “inaccurate” and “inflammatory.” Gingrich said he was withdrawing that ad out of respect for the Florida Senator, but did not retract from the its content in later interviews and public debates leading to Tuesday’s Florida Republican primary.

Hours later, in Thursday’s CNN debate, Romney responded that the ad was “simply inexcusable,” and defined himself as a “pro-legal immigration” candidate.

So who is right? The fact is that both Romney and Gingrich have used a hard-line rhetoric against immigrants in the Iowa and South Carolina primaries, and have softened their rhetoric somewhat in recent days as their campaigns shifted to Florida, where 13 percent of voters are Hispanic. But pro-immigration advocates say Romney has taken the most extreme positions on immigration.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

They come across as pandering to xenophobes by playing up the anti-immigration theme even though illegal immigration has slowed dramatically since the 2008 U.S. recession.”

Consider: O On deportations: Romney said at the Dec. 10, 2011, debate in Iowa that the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the country should be given a “transition period” to “settle their affairs and then return home.” He later described it as a “self-deportation” plan.

Gingrich responded that he would allow people who have lived here for 25 years and have strong ties to the community to apply for U.S. residency, although not for citizenship.

That’s more realistic, and more “humane,” he said.

O On Arizona, Alabama and South Carolina’s harsh anti-

immigration laws, which allow local police to ask people for their immigration papers under certain circumstances, both Romney and Gingrich have embraced them. But Romney on Jan. 11 got the endorsement of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the legal architect of Arizona-styled anti-immigration laws, and called him “a true leader on securing our borders.”

O On undocumented college students: Romney and Gingrich have opposed the Dream Act — a bill that would give legal status to soldiers and college students who were brought to this country as children by no fault of their own — and said they would veto it. Both now say they would make an exception with those who serve in the military.

Most pro-immigration advocates, while disliking both Republican front-runners, say they dislike Romney the most.

“Romney’s self-deportation strategy is an ugly plan aimed at harassing undocumented immigrants until they flee the country,” says Frank Sharry, head of the America’s Voice advocacy group. “It leads to the institutionalized abuse of hardworking immigrants, and to widespread discrimination against Latinos” My opinion: Romney, and to a lesser degree Gingrich, are badly hurting the Republican Party’s chances in November by alienating Hispanic voters. They come across as pandering to xenophobes by playing up the antiimmigration theme even though illegal immigration has slowed

Allegations that a resident of a local senior living facility was sexually assaulted last year must be thoroughly investigated.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 1, 1912: “Is Prof. Olin Templin, dean of the College of Liberal Arts YEARS at the University of Kansas, AGO going to resign his position?

IN 1912 That is what the latest rumor of any importance from University circles emphatically says.”

“George Bowman has received some fine quail from California, two dozen in number.

Mr. Bowman will turn the quail loose here out at Haskell.”

R

eports of a sexual assault at a Lawrence senior living facility must be taken extremely seriously. It is hoped that there will be a thorough investigation by the proper law enforcement and health officials and those in charge of inspecting and licensing such facilities.

Such crimes are despicable when committed against able-bodied individuals, but they are even more outrageous when committed against an incapacitated, elderly individual in a care facility.

It is understandable that those in charge of the facility must be careful in how they handle such situations because of the severe consequences that could result. Even so, officials should have been far more forthcoming in acknowledging the incident and reassuring the public that a thorough investigation would be conducted and appropriate legal action pursued.

Last week, a management official at the local facility reportedly addressed the pending case at a meeting of residents. However, he refused to allow a Journal-World reporter to be present and declined to answer any questions about the meeting. This is not the way to give public confidence in the manner the situation is being handled or the facility is being managed.

This case is a sad reminder of the need for frequent inspections and strong enforcement of laws intended to protect residents in care facilities across Kansas.

dramatically since the 2008 U.S. recession.

And Romney’s argument that he is not “anti-immigration,” but “pro-legal immigration,” is deceiving. There is no realistic way of achieving “self-deportation” of 11 million people without turning America into a police state.

And there will be no realistic way of stopping the flow of undocumented immigrants unless the U.S. visa system is expanded to accommodate people who are being hired by U.S. employers to fill jobs that Americans won’t do. It now takes at least 18 years for a Mexican migrant, and up to 70 years — yes, you read right — for a highly skilled Indian immigrant to get a U.S. visa, immigration advocacy groups say.

I know, every time I write this I get swamped with angry tweets from furious conservatives who call me a liberal “open-borders” advocate. They should not listen to me, but to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who cannot be accused of being a Commie. In a Jan. 25 interview with CNN, Bush regretted “the tone” of Republicans’ rhetoric on immigration, adding that “I don’t think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it’s the old white guy party.”

He is right. I would have only added that, especially in Romney’s case, what’s offensive to most Hispanics is not just his tone, but his anti-immigrant message. Unless he changes it, Gingrich’s ad cannot be called unfair.

Local treasure lost

abuse cases up into the 1980s. Currently, the Canadian government is in cover-up mode.

In the last decade, indigenous people here have spoken of children lost in the past at Indian boarding schools. They have asserted the existence of dump areas on the campuses of Indian boarding schools in the U.S., including Haskell. It is a shame that bones will most likely be unearthed in the process of road building. Such is the tragedy in a tone-deaf society.

The Klallam people know this all too well.

The Washington Department of Transportation desecrated a village site and burial area after the people pleaded for them to stop. The Klallam people recovered their ancestors in boxes at a warehouse. The state of Washington paid millions in damages and land was set aside to rebury the ancestors.

Do some people ever learn respect?

To the editor: I’ve visited three concentration camp memorials in Germany, toured the Holocaust Museum and read extensively on the nightmare created by Hitler’s Third Reich, but nothing brought home the raw humanity of that dark era more than the radio interview I did of Louis Frydman for Kansas Public Radio in 1996. He graciously opened his home to me one evening for an interview and answered all my questions with unflinching honesty and a frankness I wasn’t expecting but grew to appreciate as the night wore on.

What he and his brother and thousands of others experienced remains a story that is beyond the pale. Lawrence lost a local treasure with his recent passing. Thank you, Lou Frydman, for reminding us that among the wretchedness of human nature there is also decency, perseverance and a desire to leave a positive record of one’s time on earth, which you did in spades.

Richard Heckler, Lawrence

Homeless progress To the editor: The Wichita metro area has seen a whopping 51 percent drop in its long-term homeless population since 2005. Nationally, there has been a 39 percent decline despite the recession. The reason for this encouraging trend is a paradigm shift among those who serve the homeless. Instead of just using the Band-aid approach of homeless shelters, social service providers have adopted the “permanent supportive housing” approach.

According to an article in the Christian Science Monitor (Jan. 30), this approach provides “immediate access to affordable rental housing without requiring participation in psychiatric or sobriety treatment, a common deterrent for many homeless people.” Once the long-term homeless are settled in and have a stable living environment, they are “offered a range of services to help them maintain their housing, including mental health and substance abuse counseling, health care and job training.”

It should be noted that permanent supportive housing removes the stigma of being homeless and it is also cheaper than alternatives. Other beneficial programs that provide emergency rent and utility assistance actually help to prevent homelessness. Combined these programs are solving a problem in America many thought was unsolvable.

Big-game experience

Coach says KU flat in past two outings

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self spoke with his players in a Monday afternoon film session about a trend that needs to stop.

“We haven’t been as energized the last two games.

We’ve played flat,” Self said of Wednesday’s 64-54 home victory over Texas A&M and Saturday’s 72-64 loss at Iowa State.

“It’s not about playing hard.

I’m talking about just being enthusiastic, energetic. When we do that, we’re pretty good.

When we are not (energized), we don’t appear to be near as athletic and don’t seem to make plays that players make when games are tight. When you are energized, it covers up for a lot of mistakes. When you are not energized, then execution and discipline — all those things become more a When you factor. Against Iowa State the are enerlast five mingized, it covutes, we didn’t get stops.

He said on — KU coach Bill Self his weekly Hawk Talk radio show that energy also shows up in rebounding totals. ISU outrebounded KU, 36-23. KU has been outboarded in three of the past five games.

Offensive rebounding has been especially poor.

“Travis (Releford) didn’t get any rebounds. Conner (Teahan) is not getting any rebounds when he’s at the 3 (spot). Thomas (Robinson) isn’t getting any rebounds. Jeff (Withey) didn’t get many offensive rebounds.

Let’s call it like it is. It’s not one or two guys, it’s a lot,” Self said.

“That’s where I think the energy stuff comes in. A shooter always assumes every shot is going to go in, but a rebounder should always assume they are going to miss. That’s not how we have played at all. Our second and third effort on the glass on both

Ex-Jayhawk Rivera relishes second chance

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University linebacker Mike Rivera had one close call with the Super Bowl and feared it might be his last.

He never expected a second chance.

A year ago, Rivera, a 2008 KU graduate and current member of the New England Patriots’ practice squad, was with the Green Bay Packers for all but one game of the regular season. He left because the Miami Dolphins had activated him, which meant that he would suit up for the Dolphins’ final game of the 2010 regular season. The move was a no-brainer for Rivera, still trying to make it at the NFL level. But once that game ended, the Shawnee native sat back and watched his former teammates roll their way to a Super Bowl championship, one he would have been a part of had it not been for the call from Miami.

Now, just one year later, the pain and disappointment of that missed opportunity is gone, as Rivera finds himself making Super Bowl plans with the Patriots, who will take on the New York Giants on Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI. “It’s unbelievable,” Rivera said by phone. “Who would’ve thought after going to Miami and

going through camp there and enrolled in graduate classes and then getting released, that I’d be started thinking about what cain this position?” reer he would turn to next.

Rivera was the last one who “Then, about halfway through saw it coming. In fact, Super Bowl the season, I got a few workouts d r e a m s and ended aside, Riup getting vera said he picked up thought beby the Patriing cut by ots,” he said.

“When I LINEBACKER MIKE RIVERA, IN A Although got released 2008 PORTRAIT from his days at Rivera has from Mi- Kansas University. not appeared ami, I really in any games thought I may not get another for the Patriots, he said he felt chance, and I was looking into like a part of the team, a part of other options.” the Patriot family, immediately.

So convinced was Rivera that New England is known for having his dream might have ended that one of the best-run organizations he actually returned to KU and in sports, and Rivera said he real-

ized right away why the franchise had been so successful.

“It didn’t take long at all,” he said. “You come in and work hard and pay attention, and you learn, and you’re accountable for your actions. That’s just the way it goes. You don’t even have to say it, it’s just kind of understood.”

Rivera said those expectations and the superb treatment of the franchise’s players easily extended to the guys on the practice squad.

“You do everything that everybody else does, you just don’t get to play in the games,” Rivera said. “But we had plenty of guys on practice squad this year who contributed on the field at some point. I want to be on the field, too, but I do my part to contribute, and they definitely make you feel like part of the team. You’re part of the family.”

Although the Patriots are making their fifth trip to the Super Bowl in the past 10 years, Rivera said you’d never know it from looking around the locker room.

“I think it means more than anything to these guys,” he said.

“They put their hearts and souls into what they do, and they work harder than anybody. And I don’t think anybody here takes it lightly. It’s definitely something that’s appreciated.”

QB Baty commits to Kansas football

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis learned Monday that City College of San Francisco quarterback Turner Baty had orally committed to join the Jayhawks, he knew exactly the kind of player he was getting.

The reason? Weis kind of already has one like Baty.

During Baty’s visit to KU last weekend, he had the opportunity to catch up with old friend and current KU quarterback Dayne Crist for about five minutes upon arriving. That’s all it took for Baty’s mom, Kathleen, to get a feel for whom her son would be competing with and against for the next year.

“He was out of town this weekend, but he stuck around to say hi to me right when I got on campus,” Baty said by telephone Monday night. “Right after he left, my mom said, ‘He is exactly like you.’”

Both come to KU with playing experience at another college.

Both are mature leaders who value hard work and a team-first mentality over everything else.

And both will be vying for KU’s starting quarterback job this fall.

“Absolutely,” Baty said. “I think the biggest selling point for me was that I loved all the guys. But I think one of the other things is that the coaches told me, ‘Hey, you’ve got a chance

Chiefs hire special-teams coach, release 3 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs hired Tom McMahon to coach special teams and cut ties on Monday with three assistants from former head coach Todd Haley’s staff.

McMahon will take over for Steve Hoffman, who wasn’t retained after Romeo Crennel was elevated from interim head coach to the permanent job. Also let go were wide receivers coach Richie

Anderson and assistant offensive line coach Pat Perles. “I’m very blessed to have the opportunity to come to Kansas City and be a part of Romeo’s staff,� said McMahon, who spent the past three seasons coaching special teams for St. Louis. “Romeo and I have a shared vision of what it takes to win, and I’m excited to get started.�

McMahon’s special teams have

been one of the few bright spots for the Rams the last couple of years. St. Louis had the NFL’s third-best net punting average in 2010, and punt returner Danny Amendola led the league in 20-plus-yard returns in 2009 and ’10 combined.

Before his time in St. Louis, McMahon spent two seasons as an assistant special teams coach for Atlanta, and more than a decade

in the college ranks with Louisville and Utah State. “I am pleased to add Tom to our staff,� Crennel said in a statement issued by the team. “He is a diligent worker and passionate coach.

It is a great addition for us.�

Crennel has already announced he will serve as his own defensive coordinator, though he hasn’t announced who will be the offensive coordinator.

Los Angeles Times

Sunday was supposed to be the day the sports potatoes got off their couches.

This is the NFL’s contribution to society. No games — and no, the Pro Bowl is not a game. It is an exhibition. The kids down the block playing flag football hit harder.

It is a day to be devoid of five guys, sitting at a table in a TV studio, making six-figure salaries to state the obvious for an audience that will nod in deep appreciation at being told that the Patriots need to establish their running game.

On this annual blessed day in January, there weren’t even any concussions.

It was Tweener Sunday, the weekend day between the semifinal mayhem and the final mayhem, that football game with the Roman numerals. Various reasons have been given for this pause in the action, including allowing teams more time to heal from a season of mayhem.

The real reason is that the NFL seeks another week for the media to get on its hands and knees and worship. One more five-column picture, one more TV interview with the extra-point holder, and those 30-second commercials during the Roman Numeral Game will cost even more millions next year.

So, just because the NFL allows a Tweener Sunday doesn’t mean we are supposed to lose focus, as Jimmy or Howie or Coach Cowher might say.

But this time, two noncontact sports — tennis and golf — messed that up.

First, there was this tennis tournament on the underside of the world, the Australian Open. If you were really into it you could have stayed up all night and watched the men’s final. If not, there it was on a Sunday morning replay, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, going at it in one of the more riveting tennis matches in recent memory.

They played seven minutes short of six hours. Djokovic won in five spellbinding sets. They served for the entire time at speeds reaching 130 mph. Most of us, even in our youth and even with decent athletic skills, wouldn’t be able to twitch before those were past us.

They say that pro basketball players are the best-conditioned athletes. They say that major-league baseball players have the best eyes and reflexes. You watch Nadal and Djokovic and you wonder about that.

If that didn’t keep you on the couch, the replay of the golf from Abu Dhabi did.

Tiger Woods was contending, Rory McIlroy was looking as sharp as he did when he ran away with last year’s U.S. Open, and a delightful new player was emerging. Robert Rock, with a playing style that mirrored his name, beat them both and won a tournament that had one of the better fields ever in a non-major.

The bearded Rock, looking like a cross between Luke Wilson and Brad Pitt, was selling tees and golf gloves in a pro shop in England nine years ago. He was also hero-worshiping Woods, whom he beat Sunday and said of afterward, “Just playing with Tiger is a special honor in itself.�

Rock, 34, was asked in his news conference what he thought he would be most remembered for, before this win. He smiled, thought about it, and said, “Not much.�

Handsome, self-effacing and able to putt. Meet golf’s newest matinee idol.

And then there was Brandt Snedeker, another budding star and kind of a Huck Finn character. He won the day at the San Diego Zoo, also known as the Farmers Insurance Open.

After their match in Australia, an exhausted Djokovic praised an exhausted Nadal and Nadal returned the favor. In Abu Dhabi, Rock talked about being in awe of Woods, and Woods praised Rock’s unflappable play. At Torrey Pines, Snedeker repeatedly voiced empathy for Kyle Stanley’s misfortune, and Stanley wept in the media room.

It was great theater on Tweener Day — competition, sportsmanship, drama. The Roman Numeral Game will have to go some to match it.

It might take five concussions.

Soccer won’t play the 2012 season amid a legal dispute with an ousted owner.

The league’s Board of Governors voted Monday to suspend the season with hopes of resuming in 2013, the WPS announced.

In October, it terminated its South Florida franchise after clashing with owner Dan Borislow all season. A Florida judge ruled earlier this month that the league failed to follow its own dispute procedures when it terminated the franchise, and another court hearing is set for Wednesday.

Borislow purchased the former Washington Freedom before last season and moved the club to South Florida, renaming it for a telephone call device he invented. The magicJack franchise was repeatedly disciplined during the season for not meeting league standards.

In August, after Borislow filed suit against the WPS, the league released a statement accusing him of violations ranging from “unprofessional and disparaging treatment of his players to failure to pay his bills.�

Kentucky easily remains No. 1; KU falls to 8 Kentucky starts it second straight week — and fourth this season — as the No. 1 team in the Associated Press’ college basketball poll.

The Wildcats were again a runaway choice, receiving 63 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday.

Syracuse, which got the other No. 1 votes, and Ohio State both moved up one place to second and third. Missouri, which had been No. 2, dropped to fourth after its loss to Oklahoma State.

North Carolina, Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Michigan State and undefeated Murray State round out the top 10. The Racers, the lone remaining unbeaten team in Division I, cracked the top 10 for the first time in school history.

Dixon hits winner as Tigers survive UT, 67-66 AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Michael Dixon scored 21 points, including the game-winning layup with 31 seconds left, as No. 4 Missouri beat Texas, 67-66, on Monday night.

Ricardo Ratliff and Phil Pressey added 13 points each for Missouri (20-2, 7-2 Big 12).

J’Covan Brown scored 20 for Texas (13-9, 3-6), which lost for the fifth time in six games, all to ranked teams.

Two of those defeats were to the Tigers.

Dixon’s winning shot came seconds after Brown had given Texas its first lead since the opening minutes.

Freshman Myck Kabongo had a chance to win it in the final seconds for the Longhorns, but he short-armed a baseline jumper and Missouri’s Marcus Denmon grabbed the rebound.

Dixon’s heroics came after he nearly cost his team the game.

Texas had rallied from 13 down early in the second half to pull to 65-62. Dribbling the ball at midcourt,

Dixon was whistled for a flagrant foul when he swung an elbow and hit Julien Lewis in the face. Lewis made both free throws to cut the lead to one and Brown’s leaning bank shot put Texas up 6665.

Dixon then did what Missouri had done all game: He drove at the basket and his high, banking layup over Jaylen Bond dropped in to put Missouri on top.

After working the ball upcourt, Texas tossed the ball around the perimeter

“I’ve been to their school, and I know (OU coach) Sherri Coale, and their team,” Goodrich said. “But it’s just any other game. I’m going in and thinking about what I need to do to get my team ready for this game.”

By all accounts, that starts on defense, where the Sooners (13-6 overall) are averaging 72.3 points per game (third in the conference) and shooting a league-best 38 percent from three-point range.

“Their team is really, really good in transition,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “You better get back and deny the three. Because if you don’t deny them the three-point line, they’re gonna catch it and shoot it and make it.”

The Sooners are led by guard Aaryn Ellenberg, who is fourth in the conference in scoring at 16.9 points per contest. Ellenberg, whom Henrickson calls one of the elite guards in the conference, is supported by the strong play of Joanna McFarland, who leads the Big 12 in three-point percentage (55 percent), Whitney Hand, who averages 12.2 points per game, and Morgan Hook, who has made a team-best 29 three-pointers this season and averages 10.9 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Henrickson and the Jayhawks are more than familiar with OU’s lineup. Because of all the film she has watched of last year’s loss to OU in the past two days, Henrickson might be a little more familiar with the Sooners than she would like. “(Ellenberg) had 21 in the first half against us here last year,” Henrickson calmly pointed out. “Her and Hand had 37 of their 43 at the half.”

KU (16-4) enters tonight’s game just a few days removed from a 74-46 loss at No. 1 Baylor. Despite the lopsided loss, the Jayhawks said they had been upbeat since the Baylor game and were looking forward to tonight’s opportunity.

“You don’t want to dwell on that loss,” junior forward Carolyn Davis said. “So I think it’s good that we had to move on right away and start preparing for Oklahoma.”

Henrickson said tonight’s game was important for her team solely because it’s the next one on the Jayhawks’ schedule, not because of the jumbled mess in the Big 12 standings.

“We’re in a little bit of a gridlock. There’s a bunch of us in that pack right now,” Henrickson said. “But the most important thing for us is to not worry about that. That all will take care of itself. We have to figure out how to beat Oklahoma and be prepared to beat Oklahoma, which, in itself, is a handful because this team is really talented.”

Added Davis: “They’re gonna come in hungry and ready to take that spot from us. We’re even right now.

They’re coming in thinking they can beat us, and we have to go in thinking the same way.”

ends was extremely poor. We need to do a much better job.

It’s not just the guards, it’s our bigs, too.”

O

Sore wrist: Self revealed on the radio show that Releford sprained his left, non-shooting wrist a couple weeks ago.

“He’s fine,” Self said.

O

Tharpe update: A caller asked Self about freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe’s limited playing time.

“I know some people think maybe if you give him more of an opportunity he can play better, but you can’t check in and four seconds later a guy takes the ball and goes and makes a layup,” Self said.

“That’s happened two games in a row. That right there is something where he has to value the ball a little bit more.

He’s a good player. I just think having Elijah (Johnson) in there as backup is probably better right now than having Naadir in there.”

Of Tharpe, Self added: “We desperately would like to have another guard be able to play so he’s probably not to the point I think he’s ready. That’s not being negative toward him. He’s young.

He’s a freshman. He has not come around probably at the rate I thought he would the way the season started.”

As far as future minutes for Tharpe and the current bench players, Self noted: “It remains to be seen because right now if you look at our team, if you are on the bench, you have a great opportunity to get minutes because we want to be able to play our

to come in and play. We do not have depth at quarterback, and we will play the best guy no matter what.’ They said right away, ‘You’re gonna be competing for No. 1.’”

Baty liked the sound of that.

“Obviously, Dayne will have a leg up,” he said. “He’s been in the offense for three years, and he’ll be there in the spring, when I won’t. But I’ve had to work for everything I’ve got, and no one’s hungrier than me. No one will work harder than me. That’s the thing that I can control.”

During his one season at CCSF, Baty threw for 3,149 yards and 42 touchdowns while completing 64 percent of his passes. At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, he calls himself a pro-style quarterback but takes pride in his ability to make plays outside of the pocket if needed.

In addition to being thrilled by the chance to play for Weis and learn from quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus, Baty also was impressed by the man who will be responsible for putting him through the ringer in the weight

but chose to go to Kabongo instead of Brown — their leading scorer who scored 34 points the last time these teams met on Jan. 14 — for the final shot.

Kabongo finished with 10 points and Lewis had 12 for the Longhorns. Texas outrebounded Missouri 38-26, but a ragged offense didn’t have an assist on offense in the first half and the Longhorns were just 2-of-12 on three-pointers.

Missouri seemed to have the game in control when it opened the second half with a flurry. Dixon was the catalyst, making three straight baskets over Brown and Kim English made a three-pointer to push the Tigers’ lead to 3629.

Brown, who has struggled badly shooting at home, started finding his touch and kept Mizzou from pulling away. Brown and Phil Pressey matched each other’s 3s and Brown added a driving layup and a free throw cut the Tigers’ lead to 46-43 with just under 11 minutes to play.

The Longhorns trailed 5048 with a chance tie or take the lead when Pressey picked the ball from Kabongo, who had opted not to shoot an open three-pointer and then was whistled for a flagrant foul. Pressey made both free throws.

Missouri had another chance to slam the door on Texas but couldn’t. Ricardo Ratliff made a tough layup, then finished a three-point play after a steal by English.

A three-pointer by English with 4:43 to play put the Tigers ahead 63-53 before Texas rallied again behind Brown and Kabongo.

The Tigers gave firstyear coach Frank Haith a win in his first trip to Austin since his days as Texas assistant from 2002-2004.

The Longhorns twice advanced to the NCAA tournament round of 16 and made the Final Four in 2003 in that span and the Michael Thomas/AP Photo home crowd gave Haith an enthusiastic round of ap- MISSOURI GUARD MICHAEL DIXON, JR.

bench more. If you are not able to do it this year, you will have to really step up to the plate because we will not be in a situation like this where we do not have depth again, at least I hope not. All the guys who are probably not playing as much as they’d like, it’ll be harder for them to play next year because we are going to recruit some cats that will be competitive, and whoever plays the best in practice, plays. That’s how it’s going to be. I don’t really know how our bench fits in next year because I want to wait and see how they compete against guys we’ve recruited.”

placed source who witnessed the court-storming aftermath of Saturday’s KU-Iowa State game at Hilton Coliseum in Ames on Monday praised Self. Self joined ISU university police and ISU officials in assisting Big 12 ref Darron George, who cut his hand and also chipped a bone in his knuckle after getting run into by fans.

“KU coach Self and the KU players stopped to help George when they saw him kneeling in a hallway and bleeding profusely. Self kept people from running into George and called for the KU doctor to make sure somebody was coming over to assist,” the source, who did not wish to be identified, told the Journal-World.

“The medical staff of Iowa State shuffled George into the training facility to care for him, but Self was right there until the ref was taken care of,” the source added.

“After losing a game and having the stress of making sure his kids got off of the floor safely ... the fact that he set all of that aside to offer help says a lot.”

Self would not comment on his role in helping George, who also declined comment.

Self has spoken about the incident in general.

“That was a dangerous deal,” Self said. “Whenever an official goes down like he went down ... we go back there and he’s laying on the floor and in so much pain he can’t communicate with you and you don’t know what is going on ... if it can happen to officials who are escorted off the floor, it can happen to anybody.

“If that had been a lastpossession game, I think somebody would have gotten hurt,” added Self.

O

Only seniors speak on Senior Night: Self was asked if he’d allow junior Thomas Robinson to give a speech on Senior Night this season (March 3 vs. Texas), since Robinson assuredly will be turning pro after his junior campaign.

“I’ve actually thought about that, but I don’t think so,” Self said. “I love Thomas. I love Cole (Aldrich, who stayed three years). I loved all those kids that left early, but Senior Night is about seniors. It’s not about the sophomores and juniors. As much as I like Thomas and as much as I think that he would benefit and everybody would benefit hearing from him in that situation, he can do it in a different forum I hope than that (perhaps at postseason banquet). I tossed that around in my mind. I still think at the end of the day there’s something special about those kids that stay four years and it’s their night. We’re definitely going to make them feel that way.”

O

Self helped ref: A high-

room, strength coach Scott Holsopple.

“He blew me away,” Baty said. “He had a great presentation, and he coached Tim Tebow when Florida was winning national championships. They’re not just college coaches. These are guys that are the best of the best.

To have that at such a special place like Kansas, like Lawrence, I really think it’ll go perfect together, and I know in a few years Kansas will be one of the top programs in the country. I know coach Weis will get us there. To have this be the start of my career is just awesome.”

Baty has one semester left at CCSF and will arrive at KU in June. He’ll have four years left on his clock and three years of eligibility remaining. He’s eager to play as soon as he can, but also mentioned that he’s aware that taking a red shirt in 2012 could be an option.

“I’ve won at every level, and I intend to do that at Kansas,” he said.

Earlier Monday, Tyree Williams, a 6-foot, 190-pound athlete from Dulles High in Sugar Land, Texas, announced that he had orally committed to Kansas over SMU. Williams said the main reason he picked KU was the coaching staff and his love for Lawrence.

Knicks lead league … in disappointment GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — High hopes have given way to high anxiety in New York.

Thought to be a contender, the Knicks are the runaway leaders as the NBA’s biggest bust thus far. The superstars haven’t been super, the offensive guru coach can’t fix the offense, and the team is closer to last place than first in the Eastern Conference at 7-13.

“It’s not a great feeling. The whole purpose of playing is to contend for a championship, and right now we’re not on that pace, on track right now to contend, so we’ve just got to keep getting better,” forward Amare Stoudemire said. “It’s a long season, but we can’t have any excuses.

We’ve got to start winning now, we’ve got to start playing top-notch basketball right now, so we’ve got to get it going.”

That won’t be easy this week, when the Knicks play three games in three nights.

Even worse, they don’t know if Carmelo Anthony and Baron Davis will be available.

Neither practiced Monday, and coach Mike D’Antoni said both would probably be considered doubtful to play Tuesday against Detroit. The Knicks would like to get that one, because they face Chicago and Boston during their back-to-back-to-back that starts Thursday.

“We’ve got to get going now,” Stoudemire said. “It’s an important part of the year where we’ve got to get going. We’ve got to try to win by any means right now, so we don’t want to get too behind to where we have to dig

out of deep hole. We’ve got a deep enough hole as it is now.”

The Knicks have lost three straight and nine of their last 10 games, with Anthony missing the last two because of injuries to his right ankle, right thumb and left wrist. He said the latter two are feeling better and he hoped to play Tuesday because his team is struggling, but then again doing that the first time made the nagging injuries worse.

“If we was winning, I would try to take my time, but right now I want to try to push and see what I can do,” said Anthony, who will work out today before a decision is made.

Davis still hasn’t played because of a herniated disk in his back, and the Knicks believe he’s the key to getting their offense going whenever he is ready. They hoped that would have been last week during their four-game road trip, but D’Antoni said the plan is now to have him practice Wednesday and see how he feels from there.

New York was expected to be a playoff team after acquiring Tyson Chandler to play between Anthony and Stoudemire, and maybe even good enough to unseat Boston in the Atlantic Division.

But while the newcomer has been solid, Anthony has made just 31.7 percent of his shots in six games since he was originally hurt, and Stoudemire continues to suffer without a playmaker, with a 17.7 points per game average that’s his lowest since his rookie year on a career-worst 42.8 percent shooting.

Leaders THROUGH JAN. 29 Scoring

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Despite the disappointing start, D’Antoni said he isn’t worried about his job status, or lobbying management to upgrade the Knicks’ talent — which wouldn’t be easy anyway because they traded away most of their assets last February to get Anthony.

“We need to maximize what we got right now on the floor,” D’Antoni said. “That’s my job, that’s hopefully what we can get done and we need to do it.”

But D’Antoni, whose offense was once the envy of the league when he coached in Phoenix, seems just as baffled as anyone by the Knicks’ struggles on that end. They are in the bottom half of the league with 93.7 points per game and 41.4 percent shooting, wasting their improved defensive play with Chandler, who said he never could have expected his new team to struggle to score.

“Given (D’Antoni’s) history, the success has always been on the offensive end, more so lacking the defensive end,” Chandler said. “The defense has picked up but we’re struggling offensively. We have to find a way to make it work.”

The Knicks knew their offense wouldn’t be right until Davis played, giving them the veteran point guard they lack. But in the meantime, they’ve blown an easy part of their schedule, dropping home games against sub-.500 teams such as Charlotte, Toronto and Milwaukee, and there’s no telling how long of an adjustment there will be once Davis plays.

ROMAN NUMERALS FOR SUNDAY’S SUPER BOWL stand before the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at Monument Circle in Indianapolis.

Deciphering the Super Bowl: XLVI is Greek to kids

By Leanne Italie Associated Press

Kids LOL and OMG each other all the livelong day, but ask them to decipher the XLVI of this year’s Super Bowl, and you might as well be talking Greek.

They may know what X means, or V and I, but Roman numerals beyond the basics have largely gone the way of cursive and penmanship as a subject taught in the nation’s schools.

Students in high school and junior high get a taste of the Roman system during Latin (where Latin is still taught, anyway). And they learn a few Roman numerals in history class when they study the monarchs of Europe.

But in elementary school, “Roman numerals are a minor topic,” said Jeanine Brownell of the early mathematics development program at Erickson Institute, a child-development graduate school in Chicago.

That’s not how Joe Horrigan remembers it.

“I went to Catholic school.

I still have bruised knuckles from not learning them,” said the NFL historian and spokesman for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

What’s wrong with good ol’ 46 to describe this year’s Super Bowl between the Giants and the Patriots on Sunday? “‘Number 46,’ it just kind of sounds like an inventory.

‘Inspected by Joe,’” said Joe, who is LX years old. “Those Roman numerals, they’re almost like trophies.”

Any football fan worth his weight in nachos will find a

way to figure out the Super Bowl number from one year to the next, but shouldn’t kids have some sense of the Romans as an actual numbering system?

“My son is in first grade and this recently came up when we were clock shopping,” said Eileen Wolter of Summit, N.J. “He couldn’t believe they were real numbers. They only ever get used for things like copyrights or sporting events, which in my humble opinion harkens even further back to the gladiatorial barbaric nature of things like the Super Bowl.”

Gerard Michon isn’t much of a football fan, either, but he keeps a close eye on Super Bowls over at Numericana. com, where he dissects math and physics and discusses the Roman system ad nauseam.

Starting with Super Bowl XLI in 2007, he has been getting an abnormal number of game-day visits from football fans with a sudden interest in Roman numerals. On the day of last year’s Super Bowl XLV, so many people visited that Michon’s little server crashed. When the dust cleared, he had logged 15,278 hits, more than 90 percent landing on “XLV.” “Last year was total madness,” Michon said, in part “because so many people were wondering why VL isn’t a correct replacement for XLV.” When the Super Bowl started, the games were assigned simple Roman numerals “that everybody knows,” he said. Now “it looks kind of mysterious.”

The use of Roman numerals to designate Super Bowls began with game V in 1971,

program still was near and dear to his heart, and that’s what made the first couple of weeks in December so special.

Harris, who finished fourth definitely get one,” said Rivera, hoping not to jinx things. among NFL rookies in tackles “As for my future with the this season, with 72, played in team, I really don’t know all 16 games for the Broncos yet. I guess that’s something and made four starts at nickwe’ll deal with once the sea- elback. Sixty-two of Harris’ son comes to an end. It’s just tackles were solo stops, and amazing to be a part of this he added six pass break-ups and one interception to his and to be in this position.” stat line while helping the Weis loved in New England Broncos advance to the secRivera said the KU football ond round of the playoffs.

“

won by the Baltimore Colts over the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 on Jim O’Brien’s 32yard field goal with five seconds remaining. Numerals I through IV were added later for the first four Super Bowls.

“The NFL didn’t model after the Olympics,” said Dan Masonson, director of the league’s corporate communications. Instead, he said, the Roman system was adopted to avoid any confusion that might occur because of the way the Super Bowl is held in a different year from the one in which most of the regular season is played.

Bob Moore, historian for the Kansas City Chiefs, credits the idea of using Roman numerals to Lamar Hunt, the late Chiefs owner and one of the godfathers of the modern NFL. (History also credits Hunt with coming up with the name “Super Bowl” for the big game.)

“The Roman numerals made it much more important,” Moore said. “It’s much more magisterial.”

Or as Michon put it: Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur — “Anything stated in Latin looks important.”

Linsey Knerl, who is homeschooling her five children in Tekamah, Neb., is teaching them Roman numerals, showing her oldest — who is 13 — how to decipher chapter numbers while reading “Oliver Twist.”

“I realize that it may not seem to be the most culturally relevant thing you can teach kids these days,” she said. “But if kids can get what LOL and ROFL mean, things like XXII should be a piece of cake.”

‘Confident’ Giants arrive INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Unlike four years ago when they dressed in black suits as a symbol of unity before facing the undefeated Patriots, the Giants returned to the Super Bowl this time with no sartorial gimmicks.

Touching down in Indianapolis for their rematch with New England on Sunday, the Giants are simply a confident team. They believe in themselves as much as they did in 2008 when they ruined the Patriots’ perfect season with a stunning 17-14 victory in Arizona.

“We had no doubt,” guard Chris Snee said Monday, referring to the Giants’ feelings four years ago. “You have to be a confident team when you get on the plane. You reach this game for a reason.

It’s not by chance. You have to be confident coming out here.”

Justin Tuck insisted that teams don’t get to this point in the season without believing in themselves.

“It can be misunderstood for cockiness, and whatever else,” Tuck said. “But at the end of the day, when we step on that football field, we believe we are going to win that football game.”

Here’s the problem. For Christmas, my son gave us an album with photos of our new grandson. The album also contains many pictures of my exwife but only one of my wife and me, and it’s the size of a postage stamp. Could they not have created an album without all the photos of their mother? (I think it’s even possible that my ex-wife put the album together.) anniesmailbox@comcast.net Should I ignore this? cal rescue mission so she won’t Should I ask that they consid“burden anyone,” but as awful er our feelings in the future? as it sounds, knowing that she is We don’t want to display an still living is a burden.

We want to start our own family, but the stress is overwhelming.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

‘Key & Peele’ deals with race and little else Way back in another century, President Bill Clinton was called “the first black president.” And it was Clinton who suggested that America needed to have a “conversation about race.”

The new sketch comedy series “Key & Peele” (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central) presents a nonstop conversation about race, racism and biracial identity. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele were raised by black and white parents and exploit their backgrounds to lampoon racial attitudes, hip-hop cliches and the need of some men to “out-black” each other.

Whether they do this out of fear, conformity, a need to intimidate or a combination of all three is the painful riddle at the center of most of Key and Peele’s bits. Other sketches mine comedy from the habit guys have of talking “white” around women and white people.

A rapper based on Lil Wayne sings boastfully in a prison video until the other inmates quite literally cut him down to size. Two husbands dutifully acquiesce to their wives’ every demand while speaking in bland suburban accents. They assume much louder and “blacker” voices when alone with each other, complaining about their frustrations. In a bit widely screened on YouTube, we see a dignified President Obama addressing the nation in calm tones, accompanied by an “anger translator” who becomes increasingly apoplectic while “interpreting” the president’s message.

Like Key and Peele, the president is biracial. And he’s often seen as someone who can’t show frustration without appearing to be an angry black man to white critics who already think the worst of him.

There’s no doubt that Key and Peele are touching on some sensitive nerves here, and having fun in a rather cerebral manner. I’m just not convinced that they aren’t more “interesting” than funny. It also reminds us that other comics have dealt with race in the past. And while it was central to their acts and their identities, it was not the only subject in their routines. Buried in this first episode is a rather absurd parody of “MasterChef,” a sketch that amusingly sends up reality TV and has nothing to do with race. “Key & Peele” should mix it up a little.

Speaking of the president, first lady Michelle Obama appears on “The Tonight Show” (10:35 p.m., NBC).

As if to punish England for past transgressions, TLC introduces “Sorority Girls” (8 p.m.). It follows five American college students attempting to form Britain’s first sorority while studying at Leeds in the U.K.

Tonight’s other highlights

A bad thriller is off the wall on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Nick’s new pals on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

Season finale of “Celebrity Wife Swap” (8 p.m., ABC).

“American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines the legends surrounding Jesse James.

Games of chance on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Raylan runs up against a new crime boss on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

album with pictures of my ex.

— Insulted Parents Dear Insulted: This was insensitive of your son but probably not ill intended, so try to forgive him. You can choose whether or not to display any gift, but please don’t complain about it. If there is a way to remove the photos of your exwife or to have the pictures reset to exclude her, do so. Then ask your son for a picture of his family so you can display it in a prominent place in your home.

If he mentions you already have one in the album, you can tell him why you prefer another.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Jan. 31: This year you opt for more private, home time.

A partner plays a more important role than in the past. Together you work as a team to make your domestic and personal life everything it can be.

If you are single, you are in the mood for a live-in relationship. In a partnership, you could make some very good investments involving property. Independently, you might even take a class in investments or possibly learn how to remodel homes. Taurus encourages spending!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Curb a tendency to do others’ work, especially if it means convincing them to handle something your way. Your efforts to restrain yourself will pay off. Tonight: Treat time.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be on top of a project, yet someone’s insightful and different opinion could give you reason to pause.

No matter how you look at a situation, it is changeable. Tonight: All smiles.
