City to change utility bill language ——

Starting next week, ‘late fee’ will replace term ‘adjustment’ By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

27 players sign to play football at KU Kansas University football coach Turner Gill watched his first full recruiting class at KU sign national letters of intent to become Jayhawks at the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center on Wednesday.

City officials are making a change to Lawrence utility bills after concerns have been raised that the city is not doing enough to call attention to late fees it charges its customers. An article in Sunday’s JournalWorld detailed how one customer had unknowingly paid three years’ worth of late fees because the city lists the charges on the bill as an “adjustIf it is a cost ment,” rather that people than a late are paying, I fee. That prac- think it is only tice soon will fair that we change. The city director know what who over- we’re paying sees the util- for.” ity billing division said bills going — City Commissioner out next Mike Dever week will have the term “late fee” on them rather than the less specific “adjustment” category. Originally, the city had thought making such a change would not be feasible, given that the city does not own the billing software system that it uses. But Ed Mullins, the city’s finance director, said the city investigated the matter further after concerns were raised. “We were able to make the change in-house,” Mullins said. Some city commissioners said they thought the terminology needed to be changed. “Frankly, it could be clearer,” City Commissioner Mike Dever said. “If it is a cost that people are paying, I think it is only fair that we know what we’re paying for.” The Journal-World article also found that the percentage of city bills that have a late fee is significantly higher than several other area utilities. The city estimated about 30 percent of all bills have a late fee. That was much higher than the 10 percent found in Manhattan, the 17 percent with the Board of Public Utilities in Kansas City, Kan., and the 7 percent with Rural Water District No. 4 in Douglas County. City Commissioner Aron Cromwell said he wanted to find out why that percentage had

More people staying home made clearing city’s streets easier By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

On Tuesday, Lawrence received the most snow in a single day since 1980. But city officials say that streets this week haven’t been as hard to clear as they were after the Christmas 2009 storm. “What was really helpful was all those citizens who did stay home and off the roads,” said Chuck Soules, public works director. Lawrence recorded 8 inches of snow Tuesday, the most in one day since Feb. 8, 1980. In February 1993, it snowed that much over two days, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka. Soules said the city had

workers on call and prepared to go out to deal with this storm, and that the amount of overtime logged by workers probably wouldn’t be as extensive as the Christmas 2009 storm. That storm dumped 6. 2 inches on Lawrence. Because fewer people left their homes during this storm, city crews spent less time dealing with stranded motorists. Soules said the city hopes to finish plowing all residential streets by this morning. Snow from the middle of Massachusetts Street and the center of cul-de-sacs will be moved out today. Where to put it is something of a problem.

Shoveling walks Lawrence’s sidewalk snow ordinance will go into effect at 5 p.m. Friday for this storm, but inspectors won’t start looking at complaint locations until 8 a.m. Monday. Normally the ordinance goes into effect 48 hours after a snowstorm ends, but because of the wind and freezing temperatures, the city pushed back the start of the ordinance. City spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said the city ordinance doesn’t have a provision that specifically allows for an extension of the 48-hour time period, but she said the city believes it has the discretion to extend the time period if weather conditions and other factors warrant it. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks adjacent to their property. Complaints about sidewalks not cleared by the 5 p.m. deadline can be called in to 832-7700 or submitted online at lawrenceks.org/pds/code_vi olation.

SHERYL SANDERS BEGINS digging out from Tuesday’s snowfall on Wednesday morning in her east Lawrence neighborhood. Sanders said she shoveled several times on Tuesday to help keep up with the heavy accumulation. “We’re all scrambling to look for areas,” Soules said. The city owns land around town to deposit snow, including the street maintenance yard at 11th and Haskell and an area behind Johnny’s Tavern, 401 N. Second St. Even if the city needs to do more plowing and road treatment, salt and sand should be in plentiful supply.

Public transit administrator Bob Nugent said he expects buses to be running normally today, starting at the usual time, 6 a.m. Despite the sunshine on Wednesday, Soules said it was highly like that streets could get icy overnight. “People still need to be careful,” he said. — Reporter Brenna Hawley can be reached at 832-7217.

Protect against water pipes freezing By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

Frozen pipes aren’t as big a problem as they used to be, said Dennis O’Bryon, owner of O’Bryon Plumbing, 816 Prescott Drive. “It’s a combination of people taking care of stuff the right way and things being fixed over previous years,” he said. But O’Bryon said if temperatures stayed low, frozen pipes could become a problem. O’Bryon said pipes freeze because of frigid temperatures usually accompanied by high winds. But, he said, with

this week’s storm, the snow probably insulated a lot of pipes. To prevent frozen pipes, allow faucets to trickle, and open sink cabinet doors to allow heat to reach the pipes. O’Bryon said an early-warning sign of frozen pipes is low or no water pressure. He said some people wait to address the problem, which usually leads to a burst pipe and a lot of unwanted water. “When people turn their heat up a little bit and run their water a little bit, they won’t have a problem,” he said. — Reporter Brenna Hawley can be reached at 832-7217.

Injuries treated Lawrence Memorial Hospital treated seven people for weather-related injuries Wednesday, bringing the total for this storm to 41 people. Belinda Rehmer, LMH communications coordinator, said most of the injuries were the result of falls. LMH reported 30 weather-related injuries on Monday, four on Tuesday and seven on Wednesday.

Mubarak supporters turn on protesters CAIRO (MCT) — Barely 12 hours after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said he would step down at the end of his term, a clubwielding mob chanting his name overwhelmed pro-democracy protesters in Tahrir Square on Wednesday, hurling stones and gasoline bombs at the people who have demanded that Mubarak resign immediately after nearly 30 years in power. The apparently choreographed onslaught — the pro-Mubarak forces had massed outside the square for hours and came equipped with slogans and knives — opened a violent new chapter in Egypt’s nine-day-old uprising and defied President Barack Obama’s call for a transition to a new government.

reached such a level. “That is definitely worth taking a look at,” said Cromwell, who also said he wanted to change the adjustment terminology. “That is a large number. I could understand 10 to 20 percent. Twenty percent would be too high, but 30 percent is definitely too high.” Mullins said his department was preparing a report on that issue to deliver to City Manager David Corliss. Mullins also provided information to other questions that have arisen about the city’s billing practices. ● He said the city is developing a request for proposals for a new company to process credit card payments and other electronic payments made to the city.

Republicans lose vote on health law A Republican drive to repeal the year-old health care law ended in party-line defeat in the Senate on Wednesday, leaving the Supreme Court to render a final, unpredictable verdict on an issue steeped in political and constitutional controversy. The vote was 47-51. Moments earlier, the Senate had agreed to make one relatively minor change in the law, voting to strip out a paperwork requirement for businesses. President Barack Obama, who has vowed to veto any total repeal of his signature legislative accomplishment, has said he would accept the change. It does not directly affect health care. Republicans conceded in advance their attempt at total repeal would fall short. But they also said they had accomplished an objective of forcing rank and file Democrats to take a position on an issue that reverberated in the 2010 campaign and may play a role in 2012. 2 | NEW YORK CITY

Gene test may guide cancer treatment A new experimental test may someday help doctors with one of the most vexing problems in cancer therapy: identifying which prostate cancer patients need aggressive treatment. Currently, once prostate cancer is diagnosed, doctors have no reliable way to know which cases are life-threatening. Most are not. So doctors have a difficult time determining whether they should monitor the cancers to see if they progress or recommend immediate treatment, such as surgery or radiation. Both treatments can cause problems, such as incontinence and impotence. The dilemma results in overtreatment, such that about 48 men are treated for every life saved, says Dr. Ronald DePinho of the Dana-Farber Cancer Center in Boston. But DePinho and colleagues have created a test they say might help doctors identify dangerous tumors more accurately than is possible now. In results published online Wednesday by the journal Nature, the scientists showed an improvement in accuracy to 91 percent from 84 percent. When applied to prostate cancer samples, the gene test indicates “how this particular cancer is wired to behave,” DePinho said. Drawing on research in mice, DePinho and colleagues identified four genes whose combined activity within cancers appears to drive prostate tumors toward being lethal. The genes are involved in processes like growth and ability to invade other tissues. 3 | AUSTRALIA

Coastal towns wind- and wave-battered The most powerful storm in a century ripped across Australia’s northeast coast early today, blasting apart houses, laying waste to banana crops and leaving boats lying in the streets of wind- and waveswept towns. Authorities said they were surprised to learn at daybreak that no one had been reported killed, but cautioned that bad news could eventually emerge from communities still cut off after the overnight storm, which left several thousand people homeless. Emergency services fanned out as to assess the damage across a disaster zone stretching more than 190 miles in Queensland state, using chain saws to cut through trees and other debris blocking roads. Cyclone Yasi was moving inland and losing power today. But drenching rains were still falling, adding woes to a state where Australia’s worst flooding in decades has killed 35 people since late November. 4 | PENNSYLVANIA

Punxsutawney Phil predicts early spring The country’s most famous groundhog predicted an early spring Wednesday but wasn’t willing to go out on a limb to forecast whether his state’s Pittsburgh Steelers will win the Super Bowl. Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn on Groundhog Day to make his 125th annual weather forecast in front of a smaller-than-usual crowd in rural Pennsylvania who braved muddy, icy conditions to hear his handlers reveal that he had not seen his shadow. Including Wednesday’s forecast, Phil has seen his shadow 98 times and hasn’t seen it just 16 times since 1887, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle, which runs the event. There are no records for the remaining years, though the group has never failed to issue a forecast. 5 | LONDON

William expected to wed in uniform Talk about being overshadowed. The fashion world, and beyond, has gone fairly berserk over Kate Middleton as people try to predict the style of her wedding dress, but Prince William’s fashion choices for their April 29 nuptials at Westminster Abbey have received scant attention. Perhaps that’s only fitting. The bride’s always the center of attention at a wedding — and this is no ordinary wedding. Middleton has a virtually unlimited budget and can choose from among Britain’s finest designers. No wonder people care. But William’s sartorial choices matter too — the wedding photos will likely last through the ages. Most experts expect William, a highly trained air force helicopter rescue pilot, to wear a custommade, ceremonial military uniform, as his father Prince Charles did when he wed Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

A strange mix of desolation and hope is how Lawrence nurse Karin Feltman described her recent visit to Haiti. One year after providing medical aid in the aftermath of the country’s devastating earthquake, Feltman returned to the city of Port-au-Prince. This time she took with her fellow Lawrence resident 24year-old Emilie Durgan and former Lawrence Memorial Hospital nurse and co-worker Paula Westphal. “It is very different and very much the same as a year ago,” Feltman said. While the rubble has been removed from roads, many of the country’s buildings remain in crumbled ruin. What last year were temporary tent cities built with sticks and sheets have become permanent communities cobbled together with tin, plywood and tarps. Feltman’s return to Haiti was one in a long list of mission trips the former emergency room nurse has taken. However, new to the whirlwind experience was Durgan, a recent Kansas University graduate in international studies and psychology. “Pretty intense is the best word I can think of,” Durgan said. The group was part of a sixmember team organized by One Heart Ministries International in Kansas City. The nurses provided medical care to hundreds while other team members filled prescriptions. The team visited tent cities, sharing information cards on cholera and pray pamphlets. The women helped serve hot meals to more than 300 children and handed out enough dry food to feed 800 people for three days. At two of the city’s orphanages, they held babies, jumped rope, played soccer and

let children braid their hair. “I couldn’t understand what they were saying and I don’t know if they could understand what I was saying, but there was an emotional connection,” Durgan said of the work. The trip wasn’t without danger. On the first day of clinic, a man running from police was gunned down just outside the building. Aid workers ducked below windows for safety. While walking home from

the compound one night, the team leader’s mother, who was Haitian, was attacked in what they believe was an attempted rape. An acquaintance chased away the attacker. “It is just the reality right now. They live in a society that is survival of the fittest and not particularly safe,” Feltman said. “But in the midst of all that, we have lots of children and people that really want things to be better.”

With a mission trip already planned in March for Malawi in southeastern Africa, Feltman isn’t sure when she’ll return to Haiti. For Durgan, the experience has inspired her to provide aid in other areas of need such as New Orleans or Kenya. “It was very rewarding despite everything else,” Durgan said. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

County approves ‘Science Serving Kansas’ series highlights KU research large incentives By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas University will host a series of luncheons this month for legislators to provide information about research at the university. The “Science Serving Kansas” series will focus on research initiatives at KU that affect the health and economy of the state. Kevin Boatright, director of communications in the office of research and graduate studies, said the meetings are designed to give legislators a chance to meet with researchers in a casual atmosphere and learn about work at KU. This is the second consecutive year that KU will hold these lunches. Last year, about 50 legislators and staff members showed up for each of the meetings, Boatright said. Here’s this year’s schedule:

Rape definition in dispute in bill backed by Jenkins By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, is a cosponsor of a bill that abortion rights supporters say would make it more difficult for some women who have become pregnant after being raped to end their pregnancies. H.R. 3, called the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Jenkins Act” would make permanent the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds for abortions except in cases of rape, incest and or the life of the mother is threatened. Currently, the amendment is subject to annual review. But H.R. 3 also changes the “rape” exemption to “forcible rape.” Abortion rights advocates say using the term “forcible rape” could exclude statutory rape or rapes where the victim was drugged, unconscious or verbally threatened. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz, D-Fla., called the bill “nothing short of a violent act against women.” H.R. 3 has been co-sponsored by 173 House members, including Jenkins, and U.S. Reps. Mike Pompeo, R-

Wichita, and Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler. U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park, whose district includes east Lawrence, is not listed as a co-sponsor of the bill. Jenkins represents the 2nd Congressional District, which includes west Lawrence. When asked why Jenkins supported H.R. 3, her press secretary, Sean Fitzpatrick, said, “Congresswoman Jenkins has a long history of opposition to taxpayer-funded abortions and has joined 173 colleagues from both sides of the aisle to co-sponsor H.R. 3.” Of the 173 co-sponsors, 163 are Republicans and 10 are Democrats. When asked why she supported the change in terms from “rape” to “forcible rape” in the bill, Fitzpatrick referred to a statement made by the lead Democratic sponsor of the bill, U.S. Rep. Daniel Lipinski of Illinois. Lipinski stated: “The Hyde Amendment allows for taxpayer funding of abortion in very limited cases, including if the pregnancy is the result of rape. “The language of H.R. 3 was not intended to change existing law regarding taxpayer funding for abortion in cases of rape, nor is it expected that it would do so. Nonetheless, the legislative process will provide an

opportunity to clarify this should such a need exist.” The bill would also prohibit employers and those who are self-insured from using tax breaks to buy private health insurance that covers abortion.

Democrats criticize state budget director By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The Kansas Democratic Party has put out a “missing” poster for Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director, Steve Anderson. Traditionally, the governor’s budget director presents the governor’s proposed budget to the legislative committees tasked with writing a budget. Anderson, who previously did work for Americans for Prosperity, has not appeared before the committees in this role. Instead, that job has fallen to Brownback’s policy director, Landon Fulmer, and other budget department employees. “If found,” the Democratic Party poster says of Anderson, “please tell him to report to the House and Senate Budget Committees to explain Brownback’s proposed cuts to Kansas schools, state employees, Kansas Arts Commission and Mental Health service providers.”

Brownback’s spokeswoman, Sheriene JonesSontag, has said that LEGISLATURE Anderson has had many meetings with legislators and that the Democratic criticism was silly and counterproductive. Brownback announced his appointment of Anderson, a certified public accountant from Enid, Okla., in December as a member of his economic team. Anderson had been working as a consultant for the past several years with Americans for Prosperity, an organization founded by billionaire David Koch, which espouses cuts in taxes, regulations and the size of government. In 2009, Anderson and the Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity proposed a “model budget” for Kansas. In that document, AFP said

the biggest problem with the budget is “unconstrained growth of state spending.” The group called for a cut in the state income tax, cuts in state spending, including Medicaid, and a voucher program where tax dollars would be used to pay tuition for students to attend private schools. The plan also called for a program to allow tax credits for donations to scholarship funds for lowincome children to attend private schools. The plan also recommended higher tuition at public universities and schools. “There is no reason to tax the majority in the state who do not have children attending a state institution in order to subsidize those who do, especially when there is evidence it is the more affluent citizens who are more likely to have children enrolled in higher education,” the document said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

County Commission approves incentives for Berry Plastics CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The commission’s vote came with the provision that the county will increase incentives by $170,000 if two grants, which the county hopes to receive, are denied. In case the grant money does not become a reality, commissioners placed a $600,000 ceiling on the amount of incentives. The incentive money will go toward improvements to the Farmers Turnpike, a waterline and an internal access road. Commissioners hope to

attain a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation for the sum of $318,000. That grant would pay for 75 percent of the improvements to the Farmers Turnpike. The county also will seek a Community Development Block Grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce for approximately $350,000. The county plans to submit the grant application shortly. Results for the KDOT grant are expected within the month. County commissioners also voted to provide Berry Plastics up to $21 million in Industrial Revenue

Bonds, as well as a 90 percent tax abatement, which will last 10 years. “I just see no downside on this particular issue,” said Commission Chairman Jim Flory on the tax abatement. “I think it’s telling that we have not heard from a single opponent on the idea of the abatement.” The commission made its decision after a three-hour meeting, which included an in-depth cost-benefits analysis that was presented by Roger Zalneraitis, Economic Development Coordinator for the city of Lawrence.

Murderer’s parole hearing in March CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

that started in Davenport, Iowa, but had recruited members, including teenage girls, in Lawrence. Wilkins shot Shipley, a fellow member, in the head with a .22-caliber rifle. Prosecutors said the killing was based on an order from the group’s leader, Mike Bittle, who eventually reached a plea deal with prosecutors and testified against Wilkins. According to the department of corrections, Bittle

served eight years in prison for a conspiracy conviction and died in 2008 while he was on parole. Authorities believed Bittle and Shipley had differences over girls and money from the sale of motorcycles. Witnesses said Shipley threatened to tell police about Bittle’s marijuana growth operation. Shipley’s remains were found in 1996 in a rural pond on property owned by Wilkins’ family in southeastern Jefferson County. The department of correc-

tions is accepting comments from the public on Wilkins’ first-degree murder conviction. His hearing will be in March before the parole board makes a decision in April. Comments can be made at the corrections website, www.dc.state.ks.us. The website also has forms that can be filled out and mailed to the parole board. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144. Follow him at Twitter.com/lawrencecrime.

BRIEFLY Police looking for Manhattan man

Man, 26, charged with having sex with teen

Cold weather threatens wheat

Lawrence police are among those looking for a 20-year-old man who was reported missing by his parents after he was last seen Friday in Manhattan. Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said Riley County police have asked officers to be on the lookout for Greg St. Amand or a green 1996 Toyota Corolla with the Kansas license plate 806 BXE. St. Amand According to a flier and statement from Manhattan and Riley County Crime Stoppers, family members are concerned for St. Amand’s welfare. They say he may be armed with a rifle. He was last seen wearing a black North Face jacket with red lining and a green and blue beanie stocking cap. He is 6feet-tall and 145 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. Friends have created a Facebook page “Find Gregory St. Amand.” Anyone with information can call Douglas County dispatchers at 785-832-7509 or Riley County police at 785537-2112.

Douglas County prosecutors on Wednesday filed seven charges against a 26-year-old Lawrence man accused of having sexual relations with a 14year-old girl over a two-month period. Prosecutors filed four counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, two counts of criminal sodomy and COURTS one count of furnishing alcohol to a minor. James George, Douglas County’s pro-tem judge, set the man’s bond at $25,000 cash or surety after his attorney, David Brown, said the man had no criminal record and strong ties to Lawrence. Prosecutors accuse the man of having sexual relations with the girl at a north-central Lawrence home in December and January. Police said Tuesday that a parent of the girl made the initial report to officers. George set the man’s next hearing for 2 p.m. Feb. 15 in front of District Judge Kay Huff. The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.

BELLE PLAINE — An arctic blast that brought subzero temperatures and punishing winds across the Kansas plains has raised new fears for the already drought-stressed winter wheat crop. The storm dropped massive amounts of snow in eastern Kansas but offered little moisture in the parched western counties where the bulk of the wheat is grown. Without a protective snow cover the crop is especially vulnerable to frigid temperatures that have settled across the state, experts say. Western Kansas counties only got about an inch of dry, powdery snow — too little to replenish depleted soil moisture the plants will need when they break dormancy in the spring or to even plant another crop then. The full extent of winterkill and wind damage won’t be known until spring when plants green up, said Kansas State University wheat specialist Jim Shroyer. “They didn’t get much snow out west where they needed it,” Shroyer said. “If there is no snow cover those temperatures can move pretty quickly down.”

Blizzard spreads snowy shroud over nearly half U.S. By Don Babwin and Michael Tarm Associated Press Writers

CHICAGO — A fearsome storm spread a smothering shroud of white over nearly half the nation Wednesday, snarling transportation from Oklahoma to New England, burying parts of the Midwest under 2 feet of snow and laying down dangerously heavy ice in the Northeast that was too much for some buildings to bear. Tens of millions of people stayed home. The hardy few who ventured out faced howling winds that turned snowflakes into face-stinging needles. Chicago’s 20.2 inches of snow was the city’s third-largest amount on record. In New York’s Central Park, the pathways resembled skating rinks. The storm that resulted from two clashing air masses was, if not unprecedented, extraordinarily rare for its size and ferocious strength. “A storm that produces a swath of 20-inch snow is really something we’d see once every 50 years — maybe,” National Weather Service meteorologist Thomas Spriggs said. Across the storm’s path, lonely commuters struggled against drifts 3 and 4 feet deep in eerily silent streets, some of which had not seen a plow’s blade since the snow started a day earlier. Parkas and ski goggles normally reserved for the slopes became essential for getting to work. “This is probably the most snow I’ve seen in the last 34 years,” joked 34-year-old Chicagoan Michael George. “I saw some people crosscountry skiing on my way to the train. It was pretty wild.” Although skies were beginning to clear by mid-afternoon over much of the nation’s midsection, the storm promised to leave a blast of bitter cold in its wake. Overnight temperatures in the upper Midwest were expected to fall to minus 5 to minus 20, with wind chills as low as minus 30. The system was blamed for the deaths of at least a dozen people, including a homeless man who burned to death on New York’s Long Island as he tried to light cans of cooking fuel and a woman in Oklahoma City who was killed while being pulled behind a truck on a sled that hit a guard rail. Airport operations slowed to a crawl nationwide, and flight cancellations reached 13,000 for the week, making this system the most disruptive so far this winter. A massive post-Christmas blizzard led to about 10,000 cancellations. In the winter-weary Northeast, thick ice collapsed several structures, including a gas station canopy on Long Island and an airplane hangar and garages near Boston. In at least two places, workers heard the structures beginning to crack and narrowly escaped. In Middletown, Conn., the entire third floor of a building failed, littering the street with bricks and snapping two trees. Acting Fire Marshal Al Santostefano said two workers fled when they heard a cracking sound. “It’s like a bomb scene,” Santostefano said. “Thank God they left the building when they did.” More than a half-dozen states began digging out from up to a foot of snow that made roads treacherous and left hundreds of thousands of homes without power. Chicago public schools canceled classes for a second straight day. And the city’s iconic Lake Shore Drive remained shut down, nearly a day after drivers abandoned hundreds of snowbound vehicles. The famous freeway appeared as if rush hour had been stopped in time, with three lanes of cars cluttering the pavement amid snow drifts that stood as high as the windshields. Bulldozers worked to clear the snow from around the cars, which

HUNDREDS OF CARS ARE SEEN STRANDED Wednesday on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. A winter blizzard of historic proportions wobbled an otherwise snow-tough Chicago, stranding hundreds of drivers for up to 12 hours overnight on the city’s showcase lakeshore thoroughfare and giving many city schoolchildren their first-ever snow day.

were then plucked out by tow trucks one by one. As the storm built to full strength Tuesday evening, 26year-old Lindsey Wilson sat for hours on a stranded city bus. She eventually joined other passengers who tried to walk home. She made it about 100 feet before she couldn’t see anything around her, including the bus she’d just left. Fearing she would be swallowed by mounting snow drifts, Wilson turned back and spent the night on the bus. “I thought if I fall over, what would happen if I got buried under a pile of snow?” she said. Some motorists came away angry, frustrated that city didn’t close the crucial thoroughfare earlier. Others were mad at themselves for going out during the storm or not using another route.

Heavy gunfire rings out in protest square By Hadeel Al-Shalchi Associated Press Writer

C AIRO — Bursts of heavy gunfire rained into Cairo’s Tahrir Square before dawn today, killing at least three anti-government demonstrators among crowds trying to hold the site after a dramatic assault hours earlier by supporters of President Hosni Mubarak, according to a protest organizer. Sustained bursts of automatic weapons fire and powerful single shots rattled into the square starting at around 4 a.m. and continued for more than two hours. Protest organizer Mustafa el-Naggar said he saw the bodies of three dead protesters being carried toward an ambulance. He said the gunfire came from at least three locations in the distance and that the Egyptian military, which has ringed the square with tank squads for days to try to keep some order, did not intervene. Footage from AP Television News showed one tank spreading a thick smoke screen along a highway overpass just to the north of the square in an apparent attempt to deprive attackers of a high vantage point. The two sides seemed to be battling for control of the overpass, which leads to a main bridge over the Nile. In the darkness, groups of men hurled firebombs and rocks along the bridge, where a wrecked car sat engulfed in flames. Others dragged two apparently lifeless bodies from the area. Egypt’s health minister did not answer a phone call seeking confirmation of the number killed. Throughout Wednesday, Mubarak supporters charged into the square on horses and

PRO-GOVERNMENT DEMONSTRATORS, BOTTOM, CLASH with anti-government demonstrators, top right, as a palm tree burns from a firebomb, in Tahrir Square, the center of antigovernment demonstrations, in Cairo, Egypt, early today. Thousands of supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak battled in Cairo’s main square all day Wednesday, raining stones, bottles and firebombs on each other in scenes of uncontrolled violence as soldiers stood by without intervening. camels brandishing whips while others rained f irebombs from rooftops in what appeared to be an orchestrated assault against protesters trying to topple Egypt’s leader of 30 years. Three people died in that earlier violence and 600 were injured. The protesters accused Mubarak’s regime of unleashing a force of paid thugs and plainclothes police to crush their unprecedented nine-day-old movement, a day after the 82-year-old president refused to step down. They showed off police ID badges they said were wrested from their attackers. Some government workers said their employers ordered them into the streets. Mustafa el-Fiqqi, a top official from the ruling National Democratic Party, told The Associated Press that businessmen connected to the

ruling party were responsible for what happened. The notion that the state may have coordinated violence against protesters, who had kept a peaceful vigil in Tahrir Square for five days, prompted a sharp rebuke from the Obama administration. “If any of the violence is instigated by the government, it should stop immediately,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. The clashes marked a dangerous new phase in Egypt’s upheaval: the first significant violence between government supporters and opponents. The crisis took a sharp turn for the worse almost immediately after Mubarak rejected the calls for him to give up power or leave the country, stubbornly proclaiming he would die on Egyptian soil.

Expert: Male model is behind Mona Lisa ROME (AP) — A male apprentice, longtime companion and possible lover of Leonardo da Vinci was the main influence and a model for the “Mona Lisa” painting, an Italian researcher said. But the researcher, Silvano Vinceti, said Wednesday the portrait also represents a synthesis of Leonardo’s scientific, artistic and philosophical beliefs. Because the artist worked on it at various intervals for many years, he was subjected to different influences and sources of inspiration, and the canvas is full of hidden symbolic meanings. “The ‘Mona Lisa’ must be read at various levels, not just as a portrait,” Vinceti said. This is one of many theories that have circulated over the decades about the identity of “Mona Lisa” and the meaning for her famously enigmatic smile. Others have said the painting was a self-portrait in disguise, or the depiction of a Florentine merchant’s wife — the latter drawing a consensus among scholars. The world-famous portrait is on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The apprentice Gian Giacomo Caprotti, known as Salai, worked with Leonardo for more than two decades starting in 1490. Vinceti described their relationship as “ambiguous,” and most art historians agree Salai was a Leonardo lover. Several Leonardo works, including “St. John the Baptist” and a lesser-known drawing called “Angel Incarnate,” were based on Salai, Vinceti told a news conference at the Foreign Press Association. These paintings show a slender, effeminate young man with long auburn curls.

Notable ● The administrator of the $20 billion compensation fund for Gulf oil spill victims is not independent from BP and must stop telling potential claimants that he is, a federal judge said in a ruling Wednesday that may spur more people to sue rather than settle. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said claims czar Ken Feinberg and any of his agents must change the way they communicate with people seeking money from the fund. The ruling came just hours after Feinberg released details on how final payments would be determined. The ruling cuts at the heart of one of Feinberg’s central arguments that because he’s independent, thousands of people who have been denied money or received less than they feel they deserve should trust his decisions.

Feds end prisoners’ bogus tax refunds

By Michael Gormley Associated Press Writer

A L B A N Y , N . Y . — A new agreement aims to stop federal prisoners from filing for and collecting millions of dollars in bogus tax refunds from their cells. Pressure from U.S. senators in New York, Ohio, Minnesota and Florida in January led to an agreement signed Wednesday between the Internal Revenue Service and the federal Bureau of Prisons to break down bureaucratic and regulatory barriers to end the practice. The memorandum of understanding struck between the two agencies overcomes legal obstacles that hindered their own efforts and paves the way for states to make similar agreements that apply to their prisons. “The impasse needed to end, and today it’s over,” Sen. Charles Schumer of New York said Wednesday, adding that the agencies responded quickly. “This agreement means that prisoners will no longer be able to bilk taxpayers out of millions of dollars.” Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said the agreement effectively cuts through unnecessary red tape to “stop felons from scamming the system.” “It’s shocking that inmates are ripping off the taxpayers right under the government’s nose,” said Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida.

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio said the case shows “government agencies need to work together to prevent tax fraud wherever it occurs, but especially when we’re being bilked from behind bars.” The senators pushed the agencies to cooperate after a federal audit showed the practice continued, despite a 2008 law aimed at stopping it. The Bureau of Prisons and the IRS, however, had already been cracking down on the scheme and made several arrests and recoveries of refunds. But even though the 2008 measure gave the IRS the authority to turn over tax data to prison officials, there was a glitch in carrying out the law. While the IRS could flag suspicious behavior, the Bureau of Prisons felt it needed to share the information with the Justice Department before taking action against prisoners, in the event the prisoners sued. But the IRS, under tax law, felt it couldn’t share tax information with prison officials if they would share it with any entity outside the bureau, including the Justice Department. “This memorandum of understanding allows us to receive information from the IRS when they suspect inmates have filed fraudulent taxes,” said Bureau of Prisons spokesman Ed Ross. “Because of privacy issues, we were unable to do that prior.”

Rapid response Thanks to all those who pitched in to get the city moving after Tuesday’s blizzard.

raffic wasn’t moving very fast around Lawrence Wednesday morning, but the fact that it was moving at all is a credit to the efforts of city road crews. Although residential streets hadn’t been plowed, major routes, as well as many secondary routes, were clear by midmorning. It was no small task after Mother Nature dumped 8 inches of blowing snow on the city on Tuesday. By noon, crews reportedly were starting to plow secondary streets. The city’s sanitation crews also deserve a pat on the back. Even on the unplowed residential streets, city trash trucks were making their rounds Wednesday morning, sometimes offering a friendly wave to residents out shoveling snow. Speaking of shoveling, let’s also give a hand to all the people who didn’t wait 48 hours after Tuesday’s snowfall to clear their sidewalks — and perhaps give their neighbors a hand doing the same. Especially in Wednesday’s dangerous cold, those who pitched in to help deserve the gratitude not only of their neighbors but the community as a whole. A snow like the one that hit Lawrence Tuesday certainly slows the community down a bit. It gives us all a little extra time to say thanks to the people who help get the city moving again.

Building irony

Santorum may suit social conservatives WASHINGTON — In 1994, when Rick Santorum was a secondterm Pennsylvania congressman seeking a U.S. Senate seat, a columnist asked him how he was going to win. “Guns,” he replied serenely. Pennsylvania’s legions of deer hunters do not use assault weapons, which President Bill Clinton was trying to ban, but the hunters suspected that this, like Clinton’s wife’s health care plan, reflected a pattern of assaults on liberty. Santorum, then 36, won by 87,210 votes — 87,210 hunters? — out of 3,384,172 cast, becoming the first conservative elected senator from Pennsylvania since 1952. “Never,” he says today, “underestimate the power of the social issues.” He probably will test that power — and the theory, which he rejects, that economic anxieties have marginalized those issues — by seeking the Republicans’ 2012 presidential nomination. Santorum had one of the Senate’s most conservative voting records and was floor manager of the most important legislation of the 1990s, the 1996 welfare reform, which Clinton vetoed twice before signing. In 2000, Santorum won a second term with 52 percent, and was elected third-ranking Republican leader in the Senate. In 2006, a miserable year for Republicans, he lost 59-41. How can he, having lost his last election, run for president? Isn’t

he a spent political force? Well, was Richard Nixon defunct after losing the California gubernatorial race in 1962? Santorum has made nine trips to New Hampshire, where he has hired a chairman of his state political action committee and a state director, and is returning soon. He has been that many times to two other early delegateselection states, Iowa and South Carolina, and has other trips to those states scheduled. Seven reasons why he has not committed to running are his children, ranging in ages from 19 to 2. The Santorums take parenting very seriously: All but their youngest child have been partially home-schooled. The youngest, Bella, is severely disabled with Trisomy 18, a condition caused by a chromosomal defect that

prevents more than 90 percent of its victims from reaching their first birthdays. About his presidential run, he says, “My wife is sane, therefore she doesn’t want me to do this.” But both she and he are passionately right-to-life, and dedicated to trying to reform today’s abortion culture that is increasingly comfortable with treating inconvenient lives, including those like Bella’s, as disposable. Santorum appears four to six times a week on the Fox News and Fox Business channels, which are watched — particularly the former — by much of the Republican nominating electorate. And for three hours every Friday he hosts William Bennett’s nationally syndicated radio program, which also has a mostly conservative audience. Santorum does not ignore economic issues, but as a relentless ethicist, he recasts those as moral issues: “What is European socialism but modern-day monarchy that ‘takes care’ of the people?” He is, of course, correct that America’s debt crisis is, at bottom, symptomatic of a failure of self-control, a fundamental moral failing. The first event of the nominating process, Iowa’s Republican caucuses, are, Santorum says, a bifurcated event. One part concerns born-again and evangelical Christians, who are 60 percent of caucus participants. The other part involves everyone else. This

Credibility gone To the editor: Whatever credibility attorney Kris Kobach has had as a professional, a politician or, for that matter, as an intelligent human being, goes completely down the drain when he describes the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “left-wing smear organization.” The SPLC has been a primary nongovernmental defense against homegrown bigotry and terrorism for many decades now. It is neither left-wing nor rightwing — or any other wing. Until now, the SPLC has been attacked by neo-Nazi movements, the Ku Klux Klan and a variety of groups with similar ideologies. It seems that Mr. Kobach has joined an auspicious lineup of hate groups. Artie Shaw, Lawrence

here is a certain irony in the members of the Kansas Board of Regents citing $876 million in deferred maintenance needs at state universities at the same time they are approving new building projects, such as a $4 million expansion of the Library Annex on Kansas University’s West Campus. It’s true that the library project, approved last month, will be paid for with private dollars, but do those contributions include money for future maintenance of the building? Or will the new building add to the maintenance responsibilities that the state already is unable to meet? The library expansion at KU probably is a good project and it certainly isn’t the only new building that has been approved on the state’s six university campuses in recent years, but how can universities and the regents justify building new buildings at the same time they claim existing buildings are being seriously neglected? Are we just going to let existing buildings crumble beyond repair and replace them with new structures? As Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer pointed out, “As any homeowner knows, routine maintenance and repair gets more expensive to fix the longer it’s deferred.” That statement may be designed to spur legislators to approve more maintenance funds, but it also raises questions about the regents’ priorities when it comes to protecting state-owned buildings.

is why Mike Huckabee won Iowa in 2008, and why in 1988 Pat Robertson finished a strong second to Bob Dole and ahead of George H.W. Bush. Three people who might have competed, or still might compete, with Santorum for voters intense about social issues include Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, who has decided against running. And Huckabee, who is doing well as a Fox News contributor. And Sarah Palin, another Fox luminary, would have the most to lose financially from running. Santorum thinks “the left is trying to goad her into it,” hoping she would be weak among the independent voters who decide most elections. Tim Pawlenty, former governor of Minnesota, a state contiguous with Iowa, is running hard and has published a book with a strong religious theme, but Santorum doubts that Pawlenty has the passion requisite for connecting with “values voters.” That is a Santorum theory. Here is another: If unemployment is still above 9 percent in 2012, almost any Republican can win, and if there is a convincing recovery the party had better nominate someone who can energize its base. That is only a theory, but this is a fact: Social conservatives are much of that base, are feeling neglected and are looking for someone like Santorum.

More creativity

Snowy thoughts drift to past Normally, I write this column on Sunday evening, but, on occasion, I find myself sitting down early Tuesday morning to do it. So it has been this week. As I sit in my study looking out on the snow coming down at a fast pace, I find myself thinking about days like today when virtually everything comes to a grinding halt as Mother Nature reminds us that she still is in control. I don’t live in Lawrence. Instead I have a small acreage in northern Douglas County not far from Lecompton. There aren’t very many houses out my way, and most of the land is still under cultivation. So instead of watching cars skidding uncontrollably on city streets I get to see cows standing out in the snow still looking peaceful and my neighbor putting the plow on his tractor. I am constantly in his debt on snowy days since in his generous way he not only plows his drive but mine as well. I realize that bad snowstorms can wreak havoc on business, close schools and endanger folks who have to go out. But I have to admit I like snow days, not because I get to stay home from work — since I do most of my work, i.e. writing — at home, but, rather, because snow days are so quiet and peaceful. As an historian I appreciate having days when most modern concerns and such things as automobiles and trucks are absent. It’s on days like this that I can imagine an earlier Kansas, a Kansas in which most of the pop-

ulation earned their keep on the land. I close my eyes and I think about what a day like today would have been like 100 years ago before there were highways and when automobiles were still fairly scarce. Many folks would have gotten out their sleds and seen the snow as an opportunity for wholesome outdoor fun. Today we stay inside and play video games or surf the Internet. One hundred years ago those who had kept their horses wouldn’t have had to worry

about being snowbound. If they had a sleigh, they could have hitched up the horses, wrapped themselves in carriage rugs or furs and headed straight to town with no fear. The threat of power outages would have been non-existent. Oil and gas lamps continue to provide light regardless of whether there’s electricity. As for heat, most of our ancestors would have stocked up on wood for the stove and fireplace long before the storm hit. They’d be sitting in front of the fire, listening to it crackle and warming themselves oblivious to the blizzard outside. Of course, not everything was better in blizzards of yesteryear. There are some modern conveniences I would not want to give up. I certainly do not feel any nostalgia for outhouses and the joy of running through the snow and ice only to spend a freezing few minutes in an unheated outhouse. But life is never perfect. So, I’m not all that sad about today’s snowstorm. I’ve got wood gathered to put in our fireplaces. My oil lamps are filled in case the power goes out. Unfortunately, I have neither horses nor sleigh, but I’m perfectly happy to sit at home and read and write and play with the dogs and dream about a simpler world. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: I was delighted to read in the Jan. 30 P ulse section about Lawrence’s new journal of writing and the visual arts, “Parcel.” However, I was also disappointed that the article in which this good news appeared made no mention of Lawrence’s several other very fine writing journals. Not only has the Kansas University English department been the home of the “Cottonwood Review” for many years, but Brian Daldorph of the English department has long been the editor of the well-established and internationally known and respected journal of fiction and poetry, “Coal City.” In addition, Gary Lechliter edits the very edgy “I-70,” and for three years, the Imagination & Place group has published an annual anthology devoted to a particular theme concerned with imagination and place. That Lawrence, home of Langston Hughes and other writers, continues to encourage thoughtful and diverse creative writing is a cause for celebration. Elizabeth Schultz, Lawrence

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

5 names to keep in mind LUBBOCK, TEXAS — The forecast called for the temperature, without the wind-chill factor, to drop below zero during the night and I’m beginning to wonder if they have the material here to de-ice wings on airplanes. The thought occurred that just when Kansas University recruited a class of football players with Texas Tech-type speed, I might have to wait until they come here to see them play. Locked in Lubbock, while watching college basketball on TV with country music blaring and seeing my breath inside a frosty sports bar Wednesday night, the young men at the nearby table were talking football and one of them temporarily changed the subject: “Did Tech win last night?” “No, they got killed,” another said. “When I turned the news on and they showed the score it was something like 48-12 (41-19, probably).” “Oh, but Kansas is really good, right?” It’s always football season in Texas, which is one factor that makes it so difficult for schools from the North to compete against those from the South. (A bigger hurdle: Student-athletes generally prefer to stay close to home.) A native of Forth Worth, Texas, KU coach Turner Gill shared he used the example of his own career in an attempt to overcome the geographic concerns. Going to Nebraska, he told recruits, helped him broaden his contacts and opportunities. It’s not a bad pitch, especially since he believes it. Even for assistant coaches who evaluate grainy film and get to know the families of recruits, trying to forecast how recruits will compete against the big, fast bodies of the Big 12 presents a challenge. Still, it’s fun to try to guess at which recruits will do the most. The five athletes among the 27 recruits who signed Wednesday that I’m most eager to watch perform: 1. Brock Berglund, QB: He plays by far the most important position on the field. Look at the difference between how Kansas played when a healthy Todd Reesing played and how it faded when a strained groin hampered him. Berglund’s size, arm strength, above-average feet and strong self-confidence make him a lock to start as a freshman. 2. Tunde Bakare, LB: Highland Community College standout with a nose for the ball that calls to mind James Holt, compensates for lack of size — 5foot-11, 215 pounds — with exceptional speed, which KU has lacked at linebacker since Holt’s departure. 3. Bryan Peters, OL: At 6-5, 305, he already has college size and he was ranked No. 65 in the nation among offensive line prospects. That might not sound great, but considering there are five O-line positions, do the math. It equates to being ranked No. 13 at running back. 4. Darrian Miller, RB: James Sims has the ability to change directions, a la Brandon McAnderson, but he also got caught from behind. Miller is to Jake Sharp as Sims is to McAnderson. A burner, Miller, from Blue Springs, Mo., rushed for 2,226 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior. 5. Michael Reynolds, DE: KU hasn’t had a long, wiggly, speed rusher hunting quarterbacks since Charlton Keith in 2005. Reynolds, a 6-4, 220-pound baseball standout from Wichita, might be the guy. TCU and Oklahoma State pursued him.

Fantastic future?

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH TURNER GILL DISCUSSES THE RECRUITING CLASS OF 2011, which was labeled the 34th-best class in the country, according to Rivals.com. Gill announced the class in a news conference on Wednesday at Mrkonic Auditorium.

Gill ecstatic with No. 34 recruiting class in country By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Throughout his first 13 months on the job, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill demonstrated one thing above all else: He’s as steady as they come. During KU’s 3-9 season last fall, Gill never got too pumped about the highs nor too down about the lows. Instead, he remained focused on his task and talked often about striving to build a winning program. Wednesday, inside Mrkonic Auditorium at the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning

Center, Gill slipped ever-soslightly and showed a little extra enthusiasm when announcing the recruiting Class of 2011, his first full class since taking over at Kansas. “This is a great class,” said Gill of the 27 players who signed national letters of intent to join the Jayhawks. “This is a great class because they have speed, they have good character and they all do well academically. We just have to put it all together.” Doing that will take time. Gill made sure to point that out. But it also will be easier now that the players who will wear Kansas

across their chests and Jayhawks on their backs are Gill’s players, shaped in his mold, ready to play his style of football. That starts and ends with speed. “Absolutely,” Gill said. “Speed was the No. 1 thing that we wanted to get addressed at every position, and we did that. We believe that we did that at every position. We were very fortunate and blessed this year that we had a lot of numbers; we were able to have 27 scholarships available; that’s probably not going to happen again as we go along.”

KU women rip Colorado By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER KRYSTEN BOOGAARD (14) DRIVES near the baseline in the second half. The senior eclipsed 1,000 career points as Kansas demolished Colorado, 81-53, on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Throughout the history of women’s basketball at Kansas University, fewer than two dozen players have scored 1,000 points in a career. Wednesday night, during the Jayhawks’ 81-53 freeze-out of Colorado at Allen Fieldhouse, KU senior Krysten Boogaard joined the club, becoming the 21st female Jayhawk to crack 1,000 points with an eight-point, seven-rebound effort in the win.

In reaching the milestone, something she did with a free throw in the second half, Boogaard joined some impressive company. Names like Lynette Woodard, Angela Aycock, Tamecka Dixon, Lynn Pride and Danielle McCray all crossed that bridge before Boogaard, though you’d hardly think she considers herself part of that elite company. “It just feels really good to be a part of that amazing group of women,” Boogaard said. “And I just want to thank my teammates

throughout the years for getting me the ball.” Wednesday’s victory was about much more than Boogaard’s memorable night. It snapped a five-game conference losing streak, gave the KU its second Big 12 victory of the season (both against Colorado) and, perhaps most importantly, reminded the Jayhawks what it felt like to win again. “No one’s happier to get out of January than us,” said KU coach Please see KU, page 3B

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Self: KU’s offense good, but could be better By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Kansas University’s basketball team committed a season-low six turnovers while dishing 17 assists en route to a 51.4 percent shooting performance in Tuesday’s 8866 road rout of Texas Tech. “Offensively, we played well for 40 minutes,” KU coach Bill Self said on Wednesday’s Hawk Talk radio show. The Jayhawks’ ever-demanding coach still sees room for improvement on the offensive end, however. “Of all the things we could do that we are doing poorly, that is probably the worst thing,” Self

said of converting points in transition. “When we get numbers, whether its 3-on-2, 3-on-1, 2-on-1, 4-on-2, it makes no difference, it seems we are converting at a remarkably low rate or turning it over. That’s my fault. I’m probably not putting guys in the best situations in practice working on numbers. “The other day we had a 3-on1 and make five passes and don’t get a shot off (in 90-66 home rout of Kansas State), which is better than running over somebody or throwing it out of bounds,” Self added. “We’ve found a lot of ways to screw it up. Most teams get easy baskets in transition. We are getting our easy baskets in halfcourt offense.”

vs. When: 3 p.m. Saturday Where: Lincoln, Neb. Records: KU is 21-1 overall, 6-1 Big 12; Nebraska is 15-6, 3-4 On Tuesday, KU inside players Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson combined for 46 points and 25 rebounds. Mario Little, who plays inside and out, hit for nine points off 4-of-5 shooting. “We’ve not shot as many

threes lately, though we did shoot 20 yesterday (making eight),” Self said. “We’ve not shot as many in large part because we’ve gotten the ball inside. We need to play inside/out. Our guards are doing a better job driving, too. That’s one reason the bigs are getting it in tight. The guards are doing a good job driving.” Perhaps the most impressive offensive stat Tuesday came at the free throw line. Thomas Robinson, who entered a 45.8 percent free thrower (36.4 in Big 12 play) hit five free throws in five tries. “He was excited after the

The other day, we had a 3-on-1 and make five passes and don’t get a shot off.”

Brrr! Packers, Steelers move indoors D A L L A S ( AP ) — In need of an indoor facility worthy of a Super Bowl team, the Green Bay Packers turned to a high school. Temperatures in the teens, wind and ice forced the Packers to scrap plans of practicing outdoors at SMU on Wednesday and to move to the new, $4.5 million indoor field at nearby Highland Park High School. With more of the same

weather expected, Green Bay is likely to remain on the high school campus Thursday and Friday. “We feel like this will not affect us from a preparation standpoint at all,” Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. Highland Park’s facility opened in August, and is comparable in quality to the one at TCU that the Pittsburgh Steelers moved into

Wednesday. Both buildings are NFL-caliber. Such quality at TCU is one thing. But, a high school? That’s how it goes in Texas, especially the Dallas-Fort Worth area. There are megamillion prep palaces all around, with a $60 million outdoor stadium going up. Highland Park is among the wealthiest suburbs in the nation,

so the district could afford the pricetag on its facility. A $1 million donation from the booster club helped, too. “That’s ridiculous,” Packers receiver James Jones said. “We barely had a football field at my high school in California. There’s too much money out here. They need to send some of that extra cash out to California.”

COMMENTARY

Packers QB Rodgers has waited his turn By Bob Glauber Newsday

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The wait was going on five hours, and still nothing. Aaron Rodgers’ dream of playing for his beloved 49ers was long gone after they opted for Alex Smith with the first pick of the 2005 draft. And then it was one snub after another, with 22 more teams looking elsewhere. All of it captured on national TV. There sat Rodgers in the green room, staring forlornly after the teams decided they either didn’t want or didn’t need the quarterback. Finally, when the Packers’ turn came at No. 24, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue called his name. As Rodgers trudged to the podium to accept his congratulations from the commissioner, Tagliabue leaned over and whispered to Rodgers. “He said, ’Good things come to those who wait,”’ Rodgers recalled. And that wasn’t a perfunctory message, at least as far as Rodgers was concerned. “I believed it,” he said. After all, it was simply the latest in a series of initial disappointments for Rodgers, who had managed to overcome the previous ones with a resolute sense of purpose. He recalled some of the previous slights. As a senior quarterback at Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, California, Rodgers was completely ignored by Division I schools. A year later, when he played at Butte Community College near Chico, it was only by accident that California coach Jeff Tedford noticed him on a recruiting trip for another player and offered Rodgers a chance to play. And then, the ultimate dis: Even after a terrific performance at the 2005 Scouting Combine, the 49ers chose Smith over Rodgers, leading to an embarrassing drop that nearly saw him slide right out of the first round. It wasn’t until the Packers’ first-year general manager, Ted Thompson, took a chance on Rodgers that ended the uncomfortable scene. Still, there was more waiting to come. Playing behind the legendary Favre, who had never missed a game since being traded to the Packers in 1992, Rodgers had to sit and wait once more. And look at him now: After spending his first three seasons working with the backups on the Packers’ scout teams in practice, Rodgers is one step away from winning the Super Bowl. You’d better believe Rodgers took Tagliabue’s words to heart. “I’m fortunate to be in a situation where I’m surrounded by a number of great men, great people and guys who have done things the right way,” Rodgers said. “I think one of the advantages I had of waiting is that I was more ready to play.” Besides, it wasn’t as if Rodgers hated his time as the scout quarterback. In fact, he adored those times. “That was my way of playing the games,” Rodgers said. “That was my Super Bowl every day, just trying to make plays on the scout team.” In fact, it was on the scout team that Rodgers came up with his unique touchdown celebration, where he uses his championship wrestling belt move. It started when he threw a long touchdown pass in practice to former Packers receiver Ruvell Martin. “A lot of times, you’ve got guys who don’t want to be part of the scout team, so you’ve got to do something to get them interested. If it means me being goofy and doing silly celebrations, so be it. That one kind of stuck. Guys on my team tried to imitate it. I like it.” He hopes to do more of it on Sunday against the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. It would be the crowning achievement for an athlete who bided his time and paid his dues, making it to the top the hard way. Three road wins over Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago, the Packers will try and finish of the unlikely ride with a win over the Steelers and another young quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger, who has two Super Bowl rings. This time, Rodgers hopes he’s the one winning the championship ring. Or, in his case, the championship belt. The long and improbable journey will have indeed been worth the wait.

Recruit confirms mom forged letter of intent OXFORD, MISS. — Floyd Raven says his mom was just trying to help when she forged his signature on a letter of intent to Mississippi Wednesday morning. Instead, she only caused confusion. He had decided to go to Texas A&M. “Long story short, my mom thought she was helping me out,” Raven said in an interview with The Associated Press Wednesday evening. “I wasn’t home and she sent it in. I never told her I had changed my mind to Texas A&M. I forgive her for it. It was an honest mistake.” Once Mississippi coach Houston Nutt learned that the letter of intent was forged he declined to get into specifics about the incident. All he would say was Raven’s “mom really wanted him (at Ole Miss). Mom wanted him here in the worst way.” Raven, a highly regarded defensive back who played high school football at East St. John in Reserve, La., said the Ole Miss coaches were “very understanding” during the dilemma. Texas A&M confirmed on Wednesday evening that Raven signed a letter of intent with the Aggies. “I just liked the direction their program was going,” Raven said. “I got close with a few of their players and it just felt like the right place for me.” Mississippi athletic spokesman Kyle Campbell said the school had trouble reading the initial letter of intent sent by fax machine, so the school requested another. Raven declined.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Iowa coach puzzled abut illness IOWA CITY, IOWA — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says he remains puzzled about why 13 players were hospitalized with a muscle disorder following intense workouts last month. Ferentz told reporters on Wednesday his teams had done similar or even tougher workout routines three times before — in 2000, 2004 and 2007 — without incident. He says he has no idea why last month’s workout apparently gave the players rhabdomyolysis, which releases muscle fibers into the bloodstream and can cause kidney damage. They’ve all been released from the hospital. Ferentz says the workouts will not be repeated. But he says he has confidence in Chris Doyle, the Iowa strength and conditioning coach who designed them.

NFL Belichick wins Coach of Year DALLAS — Bill Belichick is closing in on Don Shula. The New England coach won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Coach of the Year award on Wednesday, the third time Belichick has earned the honor. Belichick, who also won in 2003 and 2007, now trails only Shula, a fourtime winner of the award. For leading the Patriots to a 14-2 record, the best in the league, Belichick received 30 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. That easily beat Raheem Morris, who led a turnaround in 1 Tampa Bay and got 11 ⁄2 votes.

Pouncey still expects to play DALLAS — Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey sat out practice Wednesday, but still expects to play in the Super Bowl. Pouncey sustained a high left ankle sprain in the AFC championship game. He hopes to practice Friday and reiterated that his chances of playing against the Green Bay Packers are 75 percent.

Eagles name Castillo coordinator PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles searched far and wide for a new defensive coordinator. In the end, they found a familiar face right in their own backyard. Juan Castillo, who spent 13 seasons as an Eagles offensive line coach and has been with the organization for 16 years, will switch over to the defensive side of the ball, and replace Sean McDermott, who was fired on Jan. 15. The team, which also added Howard Mudd as the new offensive line coach to replace Castillo, made the announcement on Wednesday.

Titans to talk to Mularkey, Fewell NASHVILLE, TENN. — The Titans have received permission to talk with Mike Mularkey, Gregg Williams and Perry Fewell as coaching candidates to replace Jeff Fisher, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke Wednesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Titans have not yet interviewed any of the three candidates.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Boeheim, Calhoun set mark HARTFORD, CONN. — Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun have set the record for most total wins between coaches. Boeheim entered Wednesday night’s game with 847 wins and Calhoun came in with 840. The 1,687 total bettered the mark of 1,665 set by Texas Tech’s Bob Knight and Oklahoma State’s Eddie Sutton on Feb. 2, 2006. Sutton was not at the game because of illness but it still counted on his record. The mark for two coaches who were both at the game was 1,647 between Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Calhoun on Nov. 27, 2009.

MLB Piniella joins Giants SAN FRANCISCO — Lou Piniella is staying right in the baseball mix. The longtime manager told The Associated Press on Wednesday he has agreed to a oneyear contract with the San Francisco Giants to work as a special assistant for the World Series champions. Sweet Lou will report to general manager Brian Sabean. “I took a little consulting job with the Giants,” Piniella said in a telephone interview from his home in Florida. “It’s a done deal.”

GOLF Phoenix Open hit by cold conditions SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — The little patch of ice on the sidewalk outside the front entrance at the Phoenix Open was easy to step over. There was no way to miss the frigid temperatures and biting wind. “You get cold mornings and you get some frost, but this is a legitimate winter day today,” Scottsdale-based Geoff Ogilvy said after his pro-am round was canceled Wednesday because of frozen turf at TPC Scottsdale. “There’s a reason why people move here from up north in winter, and it’s not for days like this.” The temperature was in the high 20s early in the morning when the players started arriving and only 35 around 11 a.m. when the proam was called off. “The greens are still frozen,” said Slugger White, the PGA Tour’s vice president of rules. “The approaches are frozen. And it just would do a tremendous amount of damage if we walked on it, just tracking everything up with the greens being frozen.”

Gill ecstatic with 2011 class CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

There were a couple of areas in which speed was the major focus for this year’s class and Gill and company delivered in both. In running backs Darrian Miller (Blue Springs, Mo.), Anthony Pierson (East St. Louis, Ill.) and Dreamius Smith (Wichita), Gill inherits three dynamic ball carriers. “We were definitely trying to f ind some people who would be explosive, who would be able, any time they touched the football, to find the end zone,” Gill said. “As you research these guys, they found the end zone, many, many, many times.” The other position where speed was of prime importance was linebacker, where the Jayhawks were woefully undermanned throughout the 2010 season. Class of 2011 linebackers Tunde Bakare (the only junior college prospect in the class), Ben Heeney (Hutchinson), Jason Hensley (Alma, Ark.), Collin Garrett (Beaumont, Texas) and Jake Love (Tonkawa, Okla.) all have serious wheels. “These guys have shown that they can go from sideline to sideline,” Gill said. “They can hit people, they can splatter people, they can knock the ball out. They showed that.” Though speed was important, it wasn’t the only factor Gill and his coaching staff considered. Another big element was creating competi-

SIGNING CLASS OF 2011, ALPHABETICAL: Dylan Admire, OL, 6-3, 264 Tunde Bakare, LB, 5-11, 215 Brock Berglund, QB, 6-4, 205 Travis Bodenstein, OL, 6-5, 295 Michael Cummings, QB, 6-0, 196 Javonte Daniel, DE, 6-4, 215 Phil Ford, OL, 6-6, 320 Collin Garrett, LB, 6-1, 205 Ben Goodman, DE, 6-2, 225 Julius Green, DE, 6-7, 260 Ben Heeney, LB, 6-1, 195 Jason Hensley, LB, 6-2, 225 Marquis Jackson, WR, 6-0, 205 Jake Love, LB, 6-0, 195 tion. This class, which includes players from 11 different states — coast to coast — and is made up of 13 offensive players, 13 defensive players and one special teamer, will bring that to Gill’s roster. “We talked about size, we talked about speed, we talked about explosiveness and then we looked to get depth throughout our football team,” Gill said. “And I know we accomplished that. There will be competition at every single spot.” And in some areas, that competition will lead to playing time for plenty of freshmen. Last season, Gill chose to play just three true freshmen — Keba Agostinho, James Sims and Keeston Terry. KU’s second-year coach said that number could increase dramatically in 2011. “If I had to guess, out of this class of 27, I would say that

Luke Luhrsen, OL, 6-5, 275 Damon Martin, OL, 6-5, 265 Alex Matlock, DB, 6-2, 190 Alex Mueller, K, 5-10, 155 Darrian Miller, RB, 5-10, 181 Bryan Peters, OL, 6-5, 305 Anthony Pierson, RB, 5-11, 175 Michael Reynolds, DE, 6-4, 220 Chris Robinson, DB, 5-9, 170 Adonis Saunders, DB, 5-11, 185 JaCorey Shepherd, WR, 5-11, 170 Victor Simmons, DB, 6-1, 185 Dreamius Smith, RB, 6-1, 210

Bonnie Henrickson, whose team had not won since playing at Colorado on Jan. 12. “We want to go into February here and make a run.” KU’s latest victory was never in doubt as the Jayhawks raced out to leads of 153 and 31-19 en route to a 46-27 halftime lead. Sophomore guard Monica Engelman continued her hot shooting, finishing 4-of-7 in the first half and 5-of-9 for 14 points for the game. So, too, did sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, who bounced back from last Saturday’s nine-point, one-rebound letdown against K-State to lead KU with 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Freshman Keena Mays also

over half will play this year,” Gill said. “Again, they could go one way or the other, but I can say anywhere from 15 to 16 of these guys will play this year. They may not all be starters on offense or defense initially, but they may help right away on special teams and then, as they mature and are able to move forward, they can help us on offense or defense.” KU’s most recent recruiting class was ranked 34th in the nation by Rivals.com, as of Wednesday night. It includes two four-star prospects (Miller and Pierson), 22 three-star prospects and three two-star recruits. Most of them come from winning programs and Gill said that was one of the things his staff was searching for while on the road recruiting. “This class is full of football players who know how to win,” Gill said. “And when

“

We want to go into February here and make a run.” — KU coach Bonnie Henrickson got in on the act. Starting in place of Aishah Sutherland, a move made to give the Jayhawks more quickness against the smaller CU squad, Mays sank seven of eight shots and finished with 16 points. Wednesday’s 28-point victory was the second largest Big 12 victory in KU history and the biggest win since KU topped Baylor by 30 points in January of 1997. KU (15-7 overall, 2-6 Big 12) will hit the road for a 2 p.m. Saturday matchup at Texas.

game, not because he scored 17 points, but he actually made his free throws,” Self said on Hawk Talk. “I don’t know what we were as a team, but if Thomas did not make them we were under 50 percent (other KU players hit three of 10). We didn’t shoot that many of them. Thomas has played extremely well the last two outings and has had good practices. He is obviously playing for more than just himself. Sometimes in life we do things for ourselves. When there’s a bigger cause out

there (playing to honor his mom, g randmother and g randfather, who died recently) it brings an extra gear maybe we didn’t know we had. I think he’s experiencing that right now.” ●

Back in town: The Jayhawks arrived at Topeka’s Forbes Field at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a few hours behind schedule, and did not practice. KU will meet Nebraska at 3 p.m. Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. ●

That was kind of the common theme: Have they been on a successful football team? Can they run? And can they overcome adversity? Because that’s what a champion is. These guys have shown that.”

Kings forward Jackson cleared for practice SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — Sacramento Kings reserve forward Darnell Jackson has been diagnosed with costochondritis (inflammation of the rib cartilage), according to a release from the team. He underwent a battery of tests Wednesday at the UC Davis Medical Center. But he has been cleared for full participation. In the Kings’ loss to the Celtics on Tuesday night, Jackson took a few minutes to leave the court after the first half and did not return. After the game, the team said Jackson had shortness of breath and kept him out for precautionary reasons, according to The Associated Press.

Griffin soars, taking Clippers with him LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Griffin was supposed to get this started last season; instead he broke his left kneecap in the final preseason game. He was worth the wait. Griffin’s got the Los Angeles Clippers — a punchline of a franchise for years — actually winning, with nine consecutive victories at home heading into Wednesday night’s game against Chicago at Staples Center. Overall, they’ve won nine of 13. Griffin is doing it with a combination of brute athleticism, an array of flashy YouTube-worthy dunks and solid passing. He’s averaging 22.8 points, 12.7 rebounds (fourth in the league) and 3.6 assists. The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA draft also produces double-doubles almost nightly, with 39 so far, including a stretch of 27 in a row that ended last month. He’ll find out today if he’s the first rookie All-Star since Yao Ming of Houston in 2002-03. “You hear how much looser everybody is and how much fun we’re having,” he said. “If you get double-doubles and

you lose every day, that’s not fun at all.” Griffin’s numbers earned him Western Conference rookie of the month honors for the third straight month in January, when he led all rookies in scoring and rebounding. “Early on, it looked like (Washington guard John) Wall was going to run away with all the attention and rookie of the year,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said, “then all of a sudden this guy exploded with all these great plays. And now the team is playing better.” Twice this season, Griffin has scored 40 or more points, making him the first rookie to do so since Allen Iverson in 1996-97. “He definitely should be in the All-Star game, without a doubt,” said Milwaukee’s Corey Maggette, a former Clipper. “He’s one of those special players, like LeBron.” Griffin is already committed to the All-Star dunk contest and was selected to play in the Rookie Challenge game. Hindering his bid to add All-Star to his name is the fact that the Clippers are

well below .500, but have knocked off some of the leag ue’s best, including Oklahoma City, West-leading San Antonio and Chicago. They dispatched Miami and the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers within a five-day span last month. “I’m confident with our team and our talent,” he said. “The key for us is keep learning.” That’s something Griffin is always doing. The 21-year-old forward is still figuring out when to assert himself and how to improve his shot selection, which isn’t always high percentage. Griffin relishes getting physical with opposing defenses, a tactic he said makes him more comfortable. “I know I have to work on defensive things, but it’s not all going to come at one time,” he said. With every breathtaking vertical leap, Griffin is bringing hope to a beleaguered Clipper Nation that hasn’t experienced a winning season since 2005-06, also the last time the team made the playoffs.

Pacers 117, Cavaliers 112 C L E V E L A N D — The Cavaliers’ long losing streak is almost history. Cleveland’s slide reached 22 games — one shy of the NBA’s single-season record — as Danny Granger scored 23 points and Darren Collison added 22 to lead Indiana over the Cavaliers, now winless in 2011 and losers of 32 of 33. Unless they can win on Friday in Memphis, the Cavs (841) will match the league’s alltime mark for consecutive futility, a record shared by the 1995-96 expansion Vancouver Grizzlies and 1997-98 Denver Nuggets. The Cavs had several chances to pull out their first win since Dec. 18, but Anthony Parker missed a runner in the lane with 18.8 seconds left and Granger put it away by making four free throws in the final 17.1 seconds. Ramon Sessions scored 25 points and Antawn Jamison had 21 for Cleveland.

Kansas State 69, Nebraska 53 MANHATTAN — With Bramlage Coliseum silent for Jacob P ullen’s free throws, a Nebraska fan took the opportunity to scream, “Shave your beard!” There may have been times in a frustrating season when P ullen and the Wildcats would have been willing to do anything — maybe even remove trademark facial hair — to change their fortunes. But that was not the case on Wednesday night. “I feel bad we haven’t had the success we wanted this season,” Kansas State coach Frank Martin said. “It’s coming.” Pullen scored 18 points and Curtis Kelly had 16 to lead Kansas State (15-8, 3-5 Big 12). Rodney McGruder added 10. Lance Jeter had 16 points to lead Nebraska (15-6, 3-4), and Jorge Brian Diaz had 10. The Cornhuskers, who fell to 0-4 in road games, were plagued by a season-high 22 turnovers. Martin was happy about the number, saying, “Our attention to detail defensively was big time.” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler was not nearly as happy. “It was the worst effort we’ve had,” Sadler said, searching for the correct comparison, “since the Oklahoma game my first year (200607).”

Counseling best for woman manipulated by ex Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: As someone involved with the American Ca n ce r S o c i e ty a n d t h e Relay For Life, it breaks my heart to know people are not co n s i d e re d “ s u r v ivo rs ” because they didn’t receive radiation or chemo. Getting the cancer out of your body makes you a survivor no matter what. My mother recently had a procedure where a mole and some extra skin were taken anniesmailbox@creators.com from her stomach because of had some good times, and melanoma. All those who she is someone I once loved have beaten cancer, in whatever form, are survivors in deeply. I know I need to protect myself and my sanity, and yes, I am getting into counseling again. But I also feel sadness over losing the relationship. How can I stop feeling guilty for hurting her? — Confused

Dear Confused: Many abuse victims feel responsible for both the happiness of the abuser and the success of the relationship, and when you take the necessary steps to extricate yourself, guilt is a common consequence. By deliberately putting herself in your path, Angie is attempting to manipulate those feelings and possibly win you back. We are glad you are getting back into counseling. It will help you realize that Angie’s feelings are no longer your concern.

Visions of real estate fantasies on ‘Million Dollar Listing’ Shows don’t get much more escapist than “Million Dollar Listing” (8 p.m., Bravo), a reality-television show set in a parallel universe where a $3 million mansion is considered a “steal.” Like most screen fantasies, “Listings” is all about the casting. The show follows three young and successful brokers, two named Josh. Madison, the non-Josh, is gay and lives in Malibu and seems to attract other brokers and sellers with his model good looks. Josh Flagg seems the cooler Josh and brings a playful sense of staging to his open houses. Josh Altman, a newcomer to the series, considers himself a shark but shares his bed with two small dogs. When a partner of Josh Flagg meets Josh Altman, he wonders aloud, “Is that Ari Gold?” referring to the cutthroat fictional agent of “Entourage” fame. It’s nice to see a nonscripted show quoting a scripted show just to keep it “real.” ● Speaking of keeping it “real,” it has been a strange few weeks in the cable “news” business. Keith Olbermann suddenly departed from MSNBC to be replaced with “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” (7 p.m., MSNBC). Over on CNN, “Piers Morgan Tonight” (8 p.m., CNN) replaced Larry King’s talk fest and quickly established itself as yet another place to see the Kardashians talk about themselves. Perhaps the most important “news” news concerns the news outlet you can’t watch. With Egypt in revolt, millions around the globe followed the story on Al Jazeera English, a network founded in 2006 that has come to rival CNN and the BBC. For contentious reasons beyond the scope of this column, Al Jazeera English been virtually shut out of the American cable-television market. Unable to watch the network on television, many Americans have turned to the Internet, where it can be streamed live. According to an Al Jazeera spokesman, last weekend saw a 2,500 percent increase in Web traffic. Are cable providers “protecting” us from Al Jazeera? Or pushing us toward watching news on the Internet and tempting us to give up on our cable bills?

Tonight’s other highlights ● Auditions continue on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Cholesterol woes on “Perfect Couples” (7:30 p.m., NBC). ● Terror strikes the handicapped on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Michael disappears on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Polygamy can be murder on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A musical prodigy needs help on “Royal Pains” (8 p.m., USA). ● Debbie Gibson and Tiffany return in the 2011 horror spoof “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid” (8 p.m., Syfy). ● A suspect takes Jane hostage on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Parents resent a football coach on “Fairly Legal” (9 p.m., USA). ● “Ultimate Factories” (9 p.m., National Geographic) visits the Canadian facility where they make the Dodge Challenger.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Feb. 3: This year, you will experience a lot more possibilities because of a willingness to bounce ideas off others. If you are single, opportunities to date abound. If you are attached, try to defer to your sweetie more often. Recognize how dominant you can be. Aquarius is far from a fair-weather friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Zero in on your priorities. Everyone seems gung-ho, yet later another attitude could emerge. Tonight: Catch up on surprising news. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Yes, you could be overly serious and perhaps tiresome to some people. Don't worry — everyone likes how you get the job done. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ A person you generally think of as playful could be a bit dour. You might try to cheer up him or her and wind up making this person even more closed down. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Universal Crossword

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You are your own worst critic. A partner or close associate encourages you to relax. Being uptight can only add to a difficulty. Tonight: Togetherness works. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ A serious talk does a lot to repair a relationship. You might wonder exactly what is going on behind another's cool demeanor. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ An easy exchange with an associate might not be possible. Give this person time to relax and flow. Throw yourself into your work. Tonight: Relax. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Your normal playfulness seems to be gone. A sad quality or edge could mar an excellent relationship. Slow down and think about what has occurred. Tonight: Go for fun. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Allow others to know of your disdain for an evolving situation. Perhaps you are taking someone too seriously. Tonight: Catch up on a friend's news. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ A meeting

son's mood. Tonight: As you like it. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Take your time making decisions. You could find a source to be somewhat closed down. Get feedback and ideas from others. In the end, it is you and only you who will be making the decisions. Tonight: Some solo time.

Dear Annie: I am a 30something woman and was in a relationship with another woman for two years. “Angie” was physically, emotionally and mentally abusive toward me. She decided many times to break off our relationship, but would then realize she missed me. She would e-mail, text, call, send letters, etc., until I gave in and we would date again. Then the abuse would start back up, and she would leave me again so I would be “safe.” This off-and-on-again business took almost as big a toll on my self-esteem and self-worth as the physical abuse. We currently have not spoken in four months, but in the past three days, Angie has twice managed to be where I am. When I see her in unplanned ways like this, I have anxiety attacks. She knows it upsets me because she apologizes, even though she obviously is making it a point to be in my presence. I talked to my lawyer, and he is going to send her a threatening letter saying to refrain from all contact or a restraining order will be filed. Annie, I know this is the right thing to do, but since I made the decision, I feel guilty. I don’t want to hurt Angie. She has feelings the same as anyone else. We

Crimson Tide, Tigers tussle for blue-chips By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press College Football Writer

Alabama and Auburn were at it again on national signing day. The Iron Bowl rivals tussled for blue-chip recruits on the first day high school football players could make their college choices official. The Crimson Tide and Tigers, who have won the last two national championships, each landed recruiting classes the experts adore and went head-to-head for several top prospects — none bigger than offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio from DeMatha High School in Maryland. Rated one of the top-10 recruits in the country by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPNU, Kouandjio on Wednesday said he was picking Auburn over Alabama, where his brother plays, Arie, plays. But just because a recruit makes an announcement on national television, doesn’t mean he’s made up his mind. Cyrus Kouandjio still had not signed a binding letter of intent with Auburn or Alabama — or for that matter with New Mexico, his odd other finalist — and there is no clear indication when he will make his decision official. Seantrel Henderson, the top-rated offensive lineman coming out of high school last year, pulled a similar move, committing to Southern California on television but not signing on the first day of the signing period.

Sunshine State Shuffle Florida State is rolling under Jimbo Fisher. The Seminoles are coming off 10win season and the f irst recruiting class Fisher can truly call his own drew rave reviews. Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPNU all had Florida State’s class rated in the top three in the nation. Running back James Wilder Jr., son and namesake of the former NFL star who played for Tampa Bay, and defensive back Karlos Williams from Davenport, Fla., were two of the Seminoles’ biggest scores. With new coaches at rivals Florida and Miami, Fisher was able to clean up in state. While Urban Myer was spending his day on the set of ESPNU’s marathon signing day coverage, his replacement, Will Muschamp, was securing a class that didn’t crack the top 10 of any of the most prominent national rankings. New Miami coach Al Golden had lots of catching up to do in a short time when he arrived in Coral Gables, Fla., from Philadelphia, where he had been the coach at Temple. The Hurricanes were generally ranked in the 30s. What sanctions? NCAA sanctions couldn’t stop Lane Kiffin from racking up on signing day. The Southern California coach landed a top-10 class, despite the fact that his program couldn’t play in a bowl game last season and won’t be eligible for the postseason in 2011.

World Rankings: Men

He ultimately ended up at Miami. Maybe the most heralded recruit in the nation this year, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, from Rock Hill, S.C., has said he probably won’t sign until his birthday, Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day. Clowney said in an interview with ESPNU he has narrowed his choices to South Carolina, Clemson and Alabama. Generally, signing day is about the rich getting richer. The top-rated players tend to flock to the traditional powers. So it was no surprise to see Texas, Florida State, Southern California, LSU, Ohio State and Notre Dame come away with classes that were highly ranked by the recruiting gurus. Oregon, fresh off its first appearance in the national title game, also got high marks for its class. A couple of teams that had mediocre 2010 seasons, Georgia and Clemson, gave their fans reason to believe better days are ahead with classes packed with top prospects. And in a day full of tiresome what-hat-will-he-pick news conferences at high schools all over the country, running back Isaiah Crowell of Columbus, Ga., might have started a new trend. After declaring that he was staying close home and going to Georgia, Crowell pulled out a bulldog puppy in a red sweater. No going back on that. A look around the nation at some of the other top stories of signing day.
