Stuffed chipmunk doubles as meteorologist

DOWNTOWN

Ninth and N.H. plan shrinks ——

Architects respond to complaints on hotel’s height

BROKEN ARROW FOURTH-GRADERS watch, and some celebrate, as Alvin the Chipmunk casts a long shadow in the morning sun on Groundhog Day. Teacher Ginny Turvey, not pictured, has made a class activity out of using the stuffed Alvin as a substitute groundhog for the annual tradition. The appearance of the shadow, in folklore at least, indicates six more weeks of winter.

He’s not a groundhog, but this rodent still has a lesson or two for children

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Watch out, Punxsutawney Phil — the fourth-graders at Broken Arrow School are looking to put you out of a job by employing Alvin the Chipmunk.

That’s right, every Feb. 2, students in Ginny Turvey’s class venture out to the playground, set down the stuffed animal wearing his red, monogrammed sweater and then take a step back to see whether Alvin is

casting a shadow.

On Thursday morning, Turvey and fellow teacher Lisa Harrod stood before their 57 students and quizzed them on Groundhog Day. An hour and a half earlier, the more famous — and breathing — weather-predicting rodent had forecast six more weeks of winter.

“But that was in Pennsylvania. We are in Lawrence, Kansas. And we have Alvin the Chipmunk,” Turvey told her students.

Before the big reveal, Turvey reviewed the ground rules of SCHOOLS Groundhog Day. “What does it mean if he sees his shadow?” she asked the class.

“Six more weeks of winter!” one boy cried out.

“What if he does not see his shadow?” she quizzed.

“Spring is right around

the corner,” one fourthgrader replied.

When one student asked how long Alvin had been predicting Lawrence’s weather, Turvey said it started before they were born.

Alvin’s longevity doesn’t match the 126-year tradition in Punxsutawney, but he has been around for at least 25 years. He came to Broken Arrow to liven up the classroom.

“As a teacher, you think of these things that might

be kind of fun and interesting for the kids,” Turvey said.

So one year Turvey decided to give the midwinter celebration a local twist.

“I went into my son’s room and started to scavenge around to see if there was anything remotely related to a groundhog, and then I kidnapped Alvin,” she said.

To give you a sense of how long ago that was, we

Plans for a multistory hotel/apartment building on the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets have shrunk in hopes of attracting more support from neighbors.

An architect for the project confirmed Thursday that new plans reduce the number of apartments in the proposed building by 13 units. That has allowed the height of the eastern edge of the building, the portion closest to the residential neighborhood, to drop from four stories to three.

“We’ve heard a lot of concern about the height of the building, and we’re trying to respond to that,” said Micah Kimball, an architect with Treanor Architects.

“We’ve circled the wagons to see what we can do to reduce the height.”

Circled or not, it appears developers still have a fight on their hands with several neighbors who live in the historic neighborhood along Rhode Island Street.

“We appreciate they’re trying to make it relate to the neighborhood better,” said Leslie Soden, president of the East Lawrence

Hollywood Casino to open today in Wyandotte County

By Caroline Boyer and Chad Lawhorn cboyer@theworldco.info

It’s been a long time coming, and now the region will see if its newest attraction can live up to the hype.

The ribbon will be cut and doors will open for the first phase of the $411 million Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway just before noon today.

“

Right now, a lot of the dollars spent on casinos are going over the state line. Keeping that money in Kansas will be good.”

— Hank Booth, interim president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Bringing with it 1,000 jobs, the casino will have an estimated economic impact of $220 million, said Greg Kindle, president of the Wy-

andotte Economic Development Council. The Unified Government this week reported that to date the project has infused close to

$60 million into Wyandotte County’s design and construction industries.

“I think what it shows is the continued dynamic nature of the Wyandotte County economy and the opportunity for growth,” Kindle said, adding that the casino would be a “linchpin for ongoing development near the speedway and Village West.”

In Lawrence, a 30-minute drive from the casino, reac-

tion to the casino opening is mixed.

Hank Booth, interim president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said he did not think the casino would do much to attract new visitors to Lawrence. But he also said he didn’t think the casino would significantly siphon off dollars from the Lawrence economy.

“I think anything that

makes this part of the state more attractive to people who are thinking about living here or locating a business here is a good thing for Lawrence and the state as a whole,” Booth said. “Right now, a lot of the dollars spent on casinos are going over the state line. Keeping that money in Kansas will be good.”

Lawrence teenager’s job comes with unexpected complications

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

When 15-year-old Ellen Dalagar landed a job washing towels through Free State High School, she had to prove she wasn’t laundering money.

But because of the Patriot Act, Dalager’s mother, Camille Dalager, said that’s exactly what the family has been doing the past week.

Ellen is a sophomore at Free State High School who has some mental and communication challenges related to health issues.

This year, Dalager said her daughter was excited to start a work program through the school. Ellen said she was eager to use her earnings to purchase a phone.

Ellen received her first paycheck in the form of a prepaid debit card through US Bank. Her parents first encountered problems when attempting to get a temporary PIN code to access the account. It was on that first phone call to US Bank that they were told Ellen had been randomly selected to provide documents to prove her identity as part of the Patriot Act. While Ellen could provide her

The only solution, Dalager’s mother said, was to get a stateissued photo ID. That costs $22, which was hard to come by on the family’s budget. They took out a small temporary loan with the bank to cover it. They hope a

Dick was a checker player champion. Jim, Mike, and Denzil spent many hours trying to best him. Dick could “fix” anything with duct tape and wire. His sons loved to tease him about his supervisory skills when they were completing a project.

He is preceded in death by his parents; five brothers; and two sisters.

He is survived by loving wife of 72 years, Roberta Ireland of the home; his children Terry Ireland and Helen; Sharon Young and Denzil of Seymour; and his grandchildren David Ireland of Seymour; Scott Ireland and Carrie of Pleasant Hope; James Young and Nesa; Michael Young and Christy all of Seymour along with 10 great-grandchildren; as well as a host of other family and dear friends.

James Clifford Ireland was a strong, honest and big-hearted man, who loved his family well. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy for his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends to carry on. We celebrate his life and accomplishments and will treasure the moments we had.

Services for James “Dick” Ireland were held Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 11 a.m. in the Holman Howe Chapel, Seymour, Missouri, followed by full military honors at the funeral home.

“You did the work, you get paid,” Dalagar said. “All we want is (for Ellen) to be paid.”

Dean DeBuck, a spokesman from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, which oversees banking provisions in the Patriot Act, didn’t answer direct questions on how the legislation applies to minors. But he did refer to a 400-page Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering handbook.

According to that document, banks have to obtain a customer’s You did the name, date work, you get of birth, address and paid. All we an idenwant is (for tification Ellen) to be number, such as paid.”

Prepaid debit cards are a risk because they don’t leave a paper trail. According to the federal report, drug dealers have been known to load currency onto a prepaid card and send the card overseas to their drug suppliers.

Dalager is still trying to figure out why her daughter, a good, hard-working kid, was selected. She doesn’t fit the profile of a terrorist or drug dealer, her mom said.

“I’m just amazed that of all the 100,000 people they pick out that she was one of them,” Dalager said. “She is the most innocent person to get picked. Especially since you know there won’t be a whole lot on that debit card.”

owned but privately operated casinos in Wyandotte County and three other areas of the state.

Two months later, 80 percent of Wyandotte County residents voted to approve a state-owned casino in the county. Bonner Springs, Edwardsville and Kansas City, Kan., also approved a revenue-sharing agreement: Of the 3 percent of gambling revenues set aside for local governments, 1.5 percent would go to the county, 0.75 percent to the city in which the casino was located and 0.75 percent split between the other two cities.

A flurry of proposals came before all three municipalities and the Kansas Lottery Commission, and the state extended the deadline to agree to contracts with prospective casino developers.

It approved four proposals for Wyandotte County and in September 2008 selected the proposal from Kansas Entertainment LLC for a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at the speedway.

But at the end of the year, the group withdrew its bid, citing the economy.

In April 2009, three applicants came forward: the Hard Rock once again at the speedway, as well as Hollywood Casino near the Schlitterbahn Water Park and Golden Heartland Casino near the speedway in Edwardsville.

Golden Heartland dropped out, and then came another shake-up in September 2009: The Cordish Group, International Speedway Corp.’s

partner in Kansas Entertainment LLC for the Hard Rock Casino, was bought out of the partnership by Penn National Gaming. Penn National dropped its application for the casino near Schlitterbahn, and the Kansas Entertainment proposal, now with Penn National’s Hollywood theme, was the sole remaining applicant for the Wyandotte County casino.

The state approved Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway at the end of 2009.

Gaming and financial consultants hired to advise the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facilities Review Board estimated the casino would generate more than $203 million in gaming revenues in 2013.

Bob Sheldon, general manager of the casino, said Penn National agrees with this estimate, and they expect it to do as well as their other Kansas City property, the Argosy Casino.

“We anticipate that in comparison to Argosy, I believe we’ll be in the same ballpark as far as our revenues,” Sheldon said. “We’re similar-size facilities and have similar amenities.”

The casino project covered 245,000 square feet of construction, including the 95,000 square feet on the casino floor. The casino has 40 table games, plus 12 poker tables, meaning room for 2,000 gaming players, as well as 2,000 electronic machines and four restaurants.

Sheldon said work continues to find a hotel partner for the second phase of the development.

“Alvin can’t see his shadow because he is a stuffed animal,” one student proclaimed on Thursday.

“We’ll see,” Turvey replied.

Shortly afterward, students made a mad dash to one corner of the playground where they scrunched together as Turvey placed Alvin on the ground.

“There is most definitely a shadow there,” Turvey proclaimed.

Reactions were mixed to the forecast of six more weeks of winter.

“I’m actually glad. We

might get snow,” fourthgrader Adelle Remken said.

Others weren’t so enthusiastic.

“I think it’s a little horrible.

I’ve been waiting for spring for a long time now,” Nyasha McVay-Jordan said.

As for Turvey, she thinks most folks won’t mind Alvin’s prediction.

“I have a lot of people tell me if we have six more weeks of winter like we have had so far, they are just fine with it,” she said.

Gov. asks Kansans to help stop human trafficking

BRIEFLY Kansas water policy proposals advancing TOPEKA — Two pieces of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to revise the state’s policies on water use cleared legislative hurdles on Thursday, moving a step closer to giving farmers and cities more flexibility in managing the limited resource.

The House voted Thursday to eliminate a requirement that rights holders use a prescribed allotment of water or lose their rights. The 124-0 vote sent the measure to the Senate.

Later in the day, the Senate voted 39-0 for a bill modifying a program that gives water right holders flexibility in how much of their allotment they use each year. It also provides for a percentage of that amount to be held in conservation.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal didn’t anticipate the remaining pieces of Brownback’s water proposals having difficulty winning approval.

“What I like about what Sam has done is that we have been talking about many of these for some time. He’s come forward and said it’s time to do something about it,” said O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican.

Historians help honor horse of a different era

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Auditors may revisit KBA report TOPEKA — The firm hired to audit the Kansas Bioscience Authority following allegations of misconduct at the state-funded agency is considering issuing a supplemental report that would address questions about the thoroughness of its investigation, a firm official said.

Jim Snyder, who led the BKD Forensic and Valuation Services audit, told the Topeka Capital-Journal for a story published Wednesday that BKD may produce an additional report that would outline the content of some 52,000 emails found on a second laptop that was accessible to the Bioscience Authority’s former president and CEO, Tom Thornton. But he said such a report wouldn’t undermine the findings laid out in the initial report, which was released Jan. 23.

COMANCHE, A HORSE WHO SURVIVED Gen. George Armstrong Custer’s detachment of the United States 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn is being honored with a 150th birthday celebration at Kansas University.

Comanche died in 1890 at Fort Riley, and his remains were sent to KU and preserved, where they can still be seen today on the fourth floor of KU’s Natural History Museum.

Comanche, the horse that famously survived — reportedly with 20 bullet wounds — the battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, is 150 years old. But what exactly his equine legacy should be so many years later is still being debated.

A commemorative event in Kansas University’s Dyche Hall on Thursday acknowledged all sides.

Historians spoke about how the beloved horse came to KU, how he was heavily restored in 2005 and how the community so fascinated by him should process its interest with reverence for the lives lost at Little Bighorn and other battles.

Bill Sharp, author of “The Dashing Kansan,” a biography of Lewis Lindsay Dyche, described how the horse came to the university — and how the government frequently asked for him back.

Woman testifies husband stabbed, tried to rape her Trafficking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 36-year-old Lawrence woman testified Thursday that her husband attempted to choke her with a cord, suffocate her with a pillow and rape her before he stabbed her nine times in the back during a Nov. 29 dispute at their northern Lawrence home.

“I thought at that point that I might die before the ambulance got there,” the woman said at a preliminary hearing, “so I said as loud as I could ‘I’m going to go see my mom and dad’ because I knew if I never spoke to my children again I wanted them to hear that on the 911 tapes.”

Her husband, 39, faces attempted first-degree murder and attempted rape charges for the incident at their home in the 500 block of John Doy Court. The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.

During testimony, the

“But to make a series of stories short,” he said, “a deal’s a deal.”

Dyche, a natural historian present at the university’s founding, was the one to stuff and preserve Comanche. Well, he said, the proper term is “mount.” Dyche was a student of the pre-eminent taxidermist at the time, William Hornaday, who worked to create exhibitions that were more natural and life-like.

Sharp admitted his speciality wasn’t interpreting history or even knowing much of Comanche’s storied life other than the battle and, later, a cushy war horse existence at Fort Riley. But he did have some ideas about the horse’s place in history.

“Comanche represents a spectacular setback in manifest destiny,” he said.

Bruce Scherting, a curator at the museum, then gave a breakdown of the extensive conservation project undertaken — what he called “Comanche’s extreme makeover.”

Nearly 100 people attended, a turnout higher than expected by the student advisory board that arranged it, group president Katie Sparks said.

Former board member Chris Edmonds said that the community engagement of the museum with Comanche and other events was “to be admired.”

Leonard Krishtalka, director of the biodiversity institute housed in the museum, closed the evening with a talk accom-

Ottawa man to serve probation for batteries A Douglas County judge Thursday sentenced a 24-year-old Ottawa man to serve one year on probation for convictions in a recent Lawrence battery case and a 2011 domestic battery case.

Joshua Jeffcoat had pleaded no contest last Friday to simple battery in connection with a Jan. 11 incident in which another man was injured at a party in the 1100 block of Mississippi Street.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors reduced an aggravated battery charge and dropped a theft count that were filed after Jeffcoat was accused of stealing a vehicle from a convenience store and driving to Ottawa.

“Every time I went to jail, it’s because I’ve been drinking too much,” Jeffcoat said to District Judge Sally Pokorny.

He also said he had not had a drink since he was released on bond late last week and had attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Pokorny said during his probation that Jeffcoat needed to continue with therapy programs and seek substance abuse treatment.

“A lot of people can be sober for five days,” Pokorny said.

“It’s the rest of your life that is the hard part.”

He faces a six-month jail sentence if he’s found to violate terms of his probation.

In the domestic battery case, he was fined $500 and also must take classes in domestic violence prevention.

woman described the attack and estimated that it lasted for 20 minutes. She was the only witness in the hearing, and District Judge Paula Martin ordered the defendant, who wept loudly several times during the hearing, to face a trial on COURTS the charges.

The woman said that after fighting him off for several minutes — as he put a pillow over her face an estimated eight times — she told her husband to go get a knife to stab her if he planned to kill her.

“I knew I was getting really tired and really out of breath, and I knew I couldn’t fight on much longer,” said the woman, who used a cane as she walked to the witness stand.

“I realized that suffocation was not the way I wanted to die. Having a pillow over my face is the worst feeling I’d ever had in my life, and I didn’t want to die that way.

panied by paintings done by George Catlin and was more philosophical about Custer’s Last Stand and KU’s curious, if convoluted, ties.

“Comanche represents something much more than a historical event but a desire to pacify the plans for European occupation,” he said. “But history can and should be faced.”

“Maybe if he stabbed me maybe only once or twice, then he’d leave the house, and then maybe I’d have chance to get to a phone or get to the door.”

The woman said the couple, who have been married for 18 years and have two children, had been having problems since they moved to Lawrence in August.

She said two weeks earlier she had caught him having a romantic email conversation with another woman, and that he had gone back and forth between living in the family’s house since then.

Earlier on the afternoon before the attack the woman said she finally told him either he needed to leave or she would move out, which angered him. Before he began to choke her with an electric cord in the bedroom, she testified, the man had talked about faking his own death as a way to possibly deal with financial problems the family was having.

Instead, he left the room,

came back, and the woman said he uttered the words, “I have a plan,” before coming up behind her suddenly with the cord and wrapping it around her neck. She said in addition to trying to suffocate her, he also grabbed her by the neck, and she believed he was trying to break her neck.

“I said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you doing this?’” she said. “He looked at me. He had no emotion in his face, no emotion in his voice, and said ‘I can’t stand the thought of ever seeing you with someone else.’ Then he shoved the pillow on my face again.

“I started fighting him in any way I could — kicking, pushing, biting. I remember at that point he said, ‘Stop fighting me.’”

He’s also accused of removing her clothing and attempting to rape her before he stabbed her.

Once the woman said she worried their children would soon be home from school, and she pleaded with him

not to harm them. He said he would not.

She testified that while being stabbed she lost feeling in her legs, but, at one point, the man stopped and said, “What have I done?”

Then she said she heard him talking on the phone with someone and later realized he had called 911. Police arrested him at the scene and took her to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, where she said she received treatment for nine stab wounds, two collapsed lungs, a spinal cord injury and a broken vertebra.

Martin scheduled an arraignment in the case for March 29. Defense attorney Courtney Henderson said they would also begin plea negotiations with prosecutors in the case. District Attorney Charles Branson said after the man’s arrest in November that prosecutors believed he also had some mental health issues.

research, Kansas is ranked 30th in the country at efforts to stop human trafficking.

Brownback said he’d like to change that, and late last year the Kansas Attorney General’s Office expanded the Kansas Human Trafficking Advisory Board.

In addition to suggesting that KU would be a great place to start a human trafficking research center, Brownback encouraged those concerned about the issue to take the time to visit affected areas and speak with victims.

“Go yourself,” Brownback said. “Once you go, you’ll never be the same.”

Q:

What has happened to the world news in our newspaper? There is so much news in the world every day that we should at least have a page each day of world news.

A:

The Journal-World posts several world and national news and sports stories from The Associated Press and other news services throughout the day on LJWorld.com. In the print edition, space limitations determine how much world and national news from the Associated Press and other news syndicates is published.

“As the No. 1 source of news in Lawrence and Douglas County, our priority is and remains covering local stories,” said Dennis Anderson, managing editor.

Plans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Neighborhood Association.

“But it is still an ocean liner of a building.”

Soden said reducing the eastern edge of the building to three stories was an improvement, but she said neighbors remained concerned that much of the rest of the building is five stories tall, or actually six stories near its Ninth and New Hampshire entrance. Soden said a design that makes the entire building three stories, which is closer to the height of the adjacent Lawrence Arts Center, would be more acceptable.

A representative of the development team, which is led

by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor, said there is no way the project could be financially feasible if the overall

building height was reduced to three stories. The project as proposed includes an 80room TownePlace by Marriott hotel and 21 apartments, along with retail and restaurant space.

Bill Fleming, an attorney for the development group, said the hotel chain has set 80 rooms as a minimum, and the developers can’t eliminate more apartments and still make the project work from a financial standpoint.

“This is absolutely the smallest we can go and still meet the project’s requirements,” Fleming said.

But Fleming said the new design includes several changes aimed to improve how the project works with downtown and the neighborhood. They include:

Height changes. The building has two wings on its eastern edge that jut toward the neighborhood. Those both have dropped from four stories to three stories.

Friday, February 3, 2012

The heights of those wings now vary from 33 feet to 38 feet high, depending on the slope of the site. Kimball said the new heights are roughly equivalent to an existing 2.5 story home that is on the block.

Plaza area. The eastern edge of the building includes a recessed area near the property’s alley. In previous plans, that area was to be used for a parking lot. The new plans call for the area to be an outdoor seating area for patrons of the hotel.

Drive-thru removed.

The original plans called for a vehicle drop-off lane between the new building and the existing Arts Center.

The traffic lane would have put significant numbers of vehicles onto the alley between the building and the neighborhood. But the new plan eliminates the drop-off lane. The area between the Arts Center and the building would become an outdoor

seating area. Plans now call for a new drop-off lane to be built alongside New Hampshire Street.

A glass story. The portion of the building closest to the corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets is planned to be 74-feet tall, down from 78-feet in a previous plan.

That portion of the building continues to be six stories, but the top story is now planned to be a special glass story designed to let more light pass through the building.

Previously, the design called for a glass story on the southern end of the building, near the Arts Center. That story was designed to house an indoor swimming pool.

The new plan eliminates that glass story and replaces it with one on the north end of the building, closer to the

| 5A

Ninth and New Hampshire intersection. The new glass story is designed to house a 4,000-square-foot restaurant.

The indoor pool has been scrapped and replaced with an outdoor pool on one of the roofs.

The developers are tentatively scheduled to present the new plans to the city’s Historic Resources Commission at its Feb. 16 meeting. The HRC previously rejected an earlier set of plans, and instructed the developers to significantly reduce the height of the building. If the HRC rejects the new plans, developers can appeal the decision to the Lawrence City Commission, which likely would hear the appeal in March.

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT Authorities continue to track down leads and investigate the homicide of a 39-year-old Topeka man whose body was found Jan. 5 in northwestern Douglas County near the Shawnee County line, said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

Lewis said no one had been arrested in connection with the death of Corey M. Brown the same day that Topeka police arrested — in an unrelated case — a 38-year-old Topeka man who has connections to the retail development, where Brown was a vice president.

Investigators have not said how Brown died other than that a gun was involved.

According to Shawnee County Jail records, Monroe E. Lockhart, an owner of Mo’s Express convenience store at the Hudson Crossing development, was booked into jail on several charges including aggravated burglary, aggravated assault and battery and aggravated intimidation of a witness.

Topeka police in January said they were investigating whether a burned vehicle owned

by Lockhart that was found in Topeka hours after Brown disappeared was linked to the homicide.

A 41-year-old Leavenworth man entered a plea to two misdemeanor charges Thursday for his involvement in connection with a Lawrence domestic disturbance last April.

Shane L. Maxwell entered the pleas to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor intimidation of a witness, his attorney Greg Robinson said. He had originally faced aggravated battery charge. He was accused of injuring a woman during an altercation April 25 in the 2500 block of Morningside Court.

District Judge Michael Malone is scheduled to sentence Maxwell March 2.

Division Chief Jim King, fire marshal for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, said at 11:40 a.m. the fire department had issued a permit for the burn.

“We might see something like that from time to time around the city,” King said.

Megan Gilliland, a city spokeswoman, said there likely would be a day next week when crews finish the burn.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Joe Hoelscher said Palmyra Township fire crews Thursday morning were also sent to a grass fire in the southeastern part of the county in the 2100 block of North 400 Road.

Township crews there were monitoring whether any buildings in the area could be in danger, he said.

Library hopes new director hired before expansion starts

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Candidates looking to become the next director of the Lawrence Public Library may want to come equipped with both an open mind and a hard hat.

Members of the Lawrence Public Library Board confirmed recently they’ve begun interviewing candidates to fill the top administrative position at the library and hope to have a director in place before construction on the new $19 million downtown library expansion begins this summer.

“I think it is a high priority to have somebody involved in that process as it unfolds,” said Terry Leibold, a longtime member of the library board. “I think out of fairness we need to have somebody on board sooner rather than later.”

Thirty people from across the country applied for the position, and board members last week conducted telephone interviews with six applicants. Leibold said he expects the board will decide in the next week or so how many finalists should be invited for an on-site interview.

Leibold said the board hasn’t set a formal timeline for naming a new director, but he thinks there is a chance that a decision could be made in March, which would give the new director time to arrive before construction on the expanded library begins in the summer.

The position became open after longtime director Bruce Flanders “retired” in late October and then surprised library board members by taking a library director job at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe.

Library board members said they’ve been pleased with the quality of candidates.

“I think we have some applicants who are very vibrant,” said Chris Burger, a

“

I think it is a high priority to have somebody involved in that process as it unfolds. I think out of fairness we need to have somebody on board sooner rather than later.”

— Terry Leibold, a longtime member of the library board member of the library board.

Both Burger and Leibold said finding a leader who grasps the importance of new technology in the future of libraries while balancing traditional library functions will be important.

“I’m looking for somebody who can keep the staff united and move the library in more electronic directions,” Burger said. “But simultaneously they need to keep all the paper that is well-bound on the shelves. It is a difficult task because libraries do serve so many function beyond books, but you can never forget the books.”

Leibold said he also wants a director who is open to expanding the traditional role of a library. For example, he said Lawrence residents have expressed an interest in the library hosting a “content creation room” that would allow for film editing, music production and other functions that spur creativity.

“I think we’re going to want to look at doing some things that libraries don’t traditionally do,” Leibold said.

Depending on how quickly a hire can be made, Leibold said, a library director also can help the library board and the City Commission make a major decision: Whether the library should move from its Seventh and Vermont location during the $19 million construction project.

Library leaders are not expected to tackle that decision until after the city has hired a construction manager who can calculate how much the

Notable Sagging approval ratings brought Democrats and Republicans together Thursday, as the Senate passed a bill to explicitly prevent members of Congress, their top aides and administration officials from using non-public information for insider trading. New disclosure requirements will require public reports online within 30 days of buying and selling stock.

The 96-3 vote sent the bill to the House, where Majority Leader Eric Cantor said the legislation would be considered next week.

After IPO, Facebook will face new profit pressures

By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — For all the huge numbers in Facebook’s IPO papers, a surprisingly small figure stands out: $4.39, the amount the site generated per user last year.

It’s one of the company’s major challenges because the total is paltry compared with competing Internet companies. Google makes more than $30 a year from each registered user. Even struggling Yahoo and AOL make $7 and $10, respectively.

Once Facebook goes public, Wall Street will surely demand more. That means the social network will almost certainly have to attract a lot more users or be more aggressive with its advertising, perhaps by mining personal data even more than it does now.

But can Facebook do all that without spoiling the user experience?

The company may have a tough time increasing the number of ads on a site that has become primarily a home for online conversations.

“It’s a communications tool. Can you imagine what a turn-off it would be if we were talking on the phone and AT&T tried to play an ad in the middle of our conversation?” said University of Notre Dame finance professor Tim Loughran, who studies IPOs. Facebook stock probably

won’t begin trading until at least May, but analysts already believe the company will try to sell shares at a price that will give it a market value of at least $100 billion — more than Yahoo, AOL and Hewlett Packard Co. combined.

To justify a valuation like that, Facebook will need to maximize its revenue to get closer to Google, one of its biggest rivals. Google’s revenue of nearly $38 billion last year translated into about $35 per registered user.

Facebook recorded $3.7 billion in revenue last year.

The question is whether it can bring in more money without alienating the 845 million users who have become accustomed to hanging out with friends and family on the social network without an onslaught of ads.

Part of that online environment has been by design. Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wanted to get as many as people as possible to create profiles on the website before figuring out the best ways to pro fit from all the information about their interests and connections.

In theory, those insights should enable Facebook to target ads to people most likely to be interested in certain products or services.

That should appeal to marketers, giving the site enough leverage to charge more for its ads than other sites.

city could save in time and money if the library were to move to a temporary location.

City Manager David Corliss said his office will interview five finalists today to serve as the construction manager. Corliss said his office expects to make a recommendation to the library board and the City Commission later this month.

Architects on the library project have said they think there is a good chance the project could save time and money if it moves to another location during the construction process.

“I think that is likely because the contractor would have complete reign over the entire building, and it would make for a more efficient process,” Corliss said.

“And there is nothing quite like seeing a library ‘quiet’ sign and then having a jackhammer running in the background.”

But if a decision were made to move the library, city leaders will have to decide where it would go. Leibold said he does not believe the board has a strong feeling yet on whether a temporary location would have to be downtown or whether it could be elsewhere in Lawrence. Corliss also said leaders would have to decide whether the library would operate out of a single temporary location or multiple locations.

“I would like to see it downtown,” Leibold said, “but I think we’ll have to be open to other locations too.”

BRIEFLY County judge to hear cases with high court Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin will sit with the Kansas Supreme Court next week to hear oral arguments in four appeals, according to the state’s Office of Judicial Administration.

The justices appointed Martin, who has served as a judge for 18 years, to replace Justice Nancy L. Moritz. Moritz recused COURTS herself from hearing the cases because she was a Kansas Court of Appeals judge when those cases were decided at that level.

Martin will hear arguments Feb. 9 in four criminal appeals and then participate in deliberations and drafting of opinions. Martin handles criminal and civil cases in Douglas County and was appointed to the bench by Gov. Joan Finney in 1994.

Three other Douglas County judges — Michael Malone and Robert Fairchild and nowretired Jean Shepherd — also sat with the Kansas Supreme Court temporarily in late 2010 and early 2011.

According to the testimony in the case, an investigator for Simon’s defense attorney has told the victims the three other suspects might have threatened Simon into leading them to the apartment that night.

Defense attorney Sarah Swain argued Thursday prosecutors did not have evidence that linked her client to the crimes committed in the apartment, but District Judge Kay Huff ordered Simon to face a March 28 trial.

TOPEKA — A local prosecutor is warning Kansas legislators and Gov. Sam Brownback to preserve records and electronic files about gatherings at his official residence as “potentially relevant evidence” in an investigation into a newspaper’s complaints that the sessions violated the state’s open meetings act.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor sent a letter to all 40 state senators and all 125 House members, directing them to preserve not only their records, electronic files and “tangible items,” but the same materials for their staffs.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter Thursday evening from a legislative source who did not want to be identified because copies of the letter, while delivered to the Statehouse, had not been distributed to all lawmakers.

The letter was to be delivered to all offices by today.

Taylor confirmed Thursday night that he also sent a copy of the letter to Brownback’s office, his secretary of administration, and the administration’s information technology director.

Brownback, a Republican, invited GOP lawmakers from 13 legislative committees to seven dinners in January, without formally notifying the public. The governor’s staff has said the events did not violate the Kansas Open Meetings Act because they were social gatherings and Brownback ad-

monished legislators to avoid discussions that would violate the law. The Topeka CapitalJournal, which has reported extensively about the meetings, asked Taylor on Tuesday to investigate.

Taylor said in his letter that legislators should “err on the side of preservation” when it comes to preserving records. He also noted that electronic files include emails, voice mails and instant messages.

“Your efforts to identify and preserve relevant information must begin immediately, without exception or limitation,” Taylor wrote. “This not only includes refraining from any acts that may alter or destroy relevant information, but also includes intervening to prevent loss due to routine operations.”

The Open Meetings Act generally prohibits a voting majority of a legislative body from discussing government business without giving the public notice or access to the meetings. Alleged violations are a civil matter, not a criminal one. A person found to have broken the law is subject to fines of up to $500 per incident.

Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag noted state law already requires the governor’s office to retain its records. “We will fully cooperate with this civil inquiry and remain confident that all actions were well within the law,” she said.

In a statement earlier this week, Caleb Stegall, the governor’s chief counsel, said the

governor himself couldn’t violate the meetings law because he’s an individual, not a government body. But, Stegall said, the governor and his staff warned legislators that they couldn’t conduct committee discussions while at Cedar Crest, the governor’s official residence.

Stegall also said that once committee members were warned, the dinners became informational sessions, which are permitted. He cited a 2009 opinion from thenAttorney General Steve Six. Some legislators have dismissed any controversy surrounding the meetings and have described them as social gatherings.

But Rep. Jerry Henry, a Cummings Democrat, said the meetings have gone from being a subject of “hall talk” to a more pressing issue. Seeing AP’s copy of the letter Thursday night, Henry said: “This is more serious than people believed it to be.”

In a letter Tuesday to Taylor, the Capital-Journal’s attorney, Mike Merriam, said the newspaper believes the meetings violated the law and called explanations as to why they did not “hair-splitting excuses.”

Publisher Gregg Ireland said the newspaper’s reporting has been vindicated because Taylor sees a need to investigate.

“We’re glad to see it’s being fully investigated,” he said. “The people’s business is not to be done under the cloak of darkness. It needs to be transparent.”

Cancer charity confronts backlash NEW YORK — The renowned breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure faced an escalating backlash Thursday over its decision to cut breast screening grants to Planned Parenthood. Some of Komen’s local affiliates are openly upset, including all seven in California, and at least one top official has quit, reportedly in protest.

Meanwhile, Komen has been deluged with negative emails and Facebook postings, accusing it of knuckling under to pressure from anti-abortion groups, since The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that it was halting grants that Planned Parenthood affiliates used for breast exams and related services. The grants totaled $680,000 last year.

Planned Parenthood has been heartened by an outpouring of support in response to the cutoff. In addition to $400,000 in smaller donations from 6,000 people, it is receiving $250,000 from a family foundation in Dallas and a $250,000 pledge announced Thursday by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to match future donations.

In Washington, 26 U.S. senators — all Democrats except for independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont — signed a letter calling on Komen to reconsider its decision.

“It would be tragic if any woman — let alone thousands of women — lost access to these potentially lifesaving screenings because of a politically motivated attack,” the senators wrote.

Komen’s top leaders, in their first news conference since the controversy erupted, denied Planned Parenthood’s assertion that the decision was driven by pressure from anti-abortion groups.

Possible Israeli attack on Iran worries U.S.

EDITORIALS

Rate grab A bill that would allow utilities to raise their rates before those rates are approved by the state is bad policy for Kansas.

M

aybe it’s the mild winter that spurred natural gas utilities to take a shot at getting the Kansas Legislature to approve a bill to enable them to establish interim rates without going through an approval process.

Maybe they’re not meeting their revenue projections, what with January temperatures in the 60s instead of in single-digits.

The bill’s in the House committee on energy and utilities, where Monday it was thrashed by representatives of the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board and AARP Kansas, who termed it totally opposite of the existing law in the state.

Utility representatives argued that the process for rate approval takes too long and is not responsive to utility needs, and thus discourages investment.

However the process proposed — enabling utilities to start charging higher rates and then make refunds if the new rates are not approved — is certain to hurt consumers, although it probably will drop some coin into the state’s coffers. Writes the budget director in a note attached to the bill: “…there could be an increase in revenues to the State General Fund if refunds are available and are not claimed by customers.”

Think people who move after paying rates that the CURB representative said are probably going to “be deemed unjust and unreasonable at a later date.”

If the utilities don’t like the regulatory process, a process that ensures them a level of profitability, then maybe they should determine with the Kansas Corporation Commission whether there is a means of shortening the review period. However, most individuals who get reviewed for raises on an annual basis, not whenever they want to propose a change, are unlikely to sympathize with the utilities. Try telling your boss you’re giving yourself a raise. And most businesses, who plan and operate on annual budgets, certainly would not appreciate a sudden change in utility rates any more than a utility would welcome a sudden, unbudgeted change in its costs.

Perhaps, in the end, the utilities are in the situation of the person who doesn’t want to work on Sundays: Hey, don’t become a Methodist minister. Some things just go with the territory. This proposed change is not in the best interests of the state’s residents.

BRUSSELS — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has a lot on his mind these days, from cutting the defense budget to managing the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. But his biggest worry is the growing possibility that Israel will attack Iran militarily over the next few months.

Panetta believes there is strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June — before Iran enters what Israelis described as a “zone of immunity” to commence building a nuclear bomb. Very soon, the Israelis fear, the Iranians will have enough enriched uranium in deep underground facilities to make a weapon — and only the U.S. could then stop them militarily.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to leave the fate of Israel dependent on American action, which would be triggered by intelligence that Iran is actually building a bomb, which it hasn’t done yet.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak may have signaled the prospect of an Israeli attack soon when he asked last month to postpone a planned U.S.-Israel military exercise that would culminate in a live-fire phase in May. Barak apologized that Israel couldn’t devote the resources to the annual exercise this spring.

President Barack Obama and Panetta are both said to have cautioned the Israelis that the U.S. opposes an attack, believing that it would derail an increasingly successful international

economic sanctions program and other non-military efforts to stop Iran from crossing the threshold. But the White House hasn’t yet decided precisely how the U.S. would respond if the Israelis do attack.

The Obama administration is conducting intense discussions now about what an Israeli attack would mean for the U.S.: whether Iran would target U.S. ships in the region or try to close the Strait of Hormuz, and what effect the conflict and a likely spike in oil prices would have on the fragile global economy.

The Obama administration currently appears to favor a policy of staying out of the conflict, unless Iran hits U.S. assets,

which would trigger a strong U.S. response.

This U.S. policy — signaling that Israel is acting on its own — might open a breach like the one in 1956, when President Dwight Eisenhower condemned an Israeli-European attack on the Suez Canal. Complicating matters is the 2012 presidential election, where Republicans candidates are clamoring for stronger U.S. support of Israel.

Administration officials caution that Tehran shouldn’t misunderstand: The U.S. has a 60-year commitment to Israeli security, and if Israel’s population centers were hit, the U.S. could feel obligated to come to Israel’s defense.

The Israelis are said to believe that a military strike could be limited and contained. The Israelis would bomb the uraniumenrichment facility at Natanz and other targets; an attack on the buried enrichment facility at Qom would be harder from the air. The Iranians would retaliate but Israelis doubt it would be an overwhelming barrage, with rockets from Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. One Israeli estimate is that the Jewish state might have to absorb 500 casualties.

Israelis point to Syria’s lack of response to an Israeli attack on a nuclear reactor there in 2007.

The Iranians might show similar restraint, because of fear the regime would be endangered by all-out war. Some Israelis have also likened a strike on Iran to

the 1976 hostage-rescue raid on Entebbe, which was followed by a change of regime in Uganda.

Israeli leaders are said to accept, and even welcome, the prospect of going it alone and demonstrating their resolve at a time when their security is undermined by the “Arab Spring.”

“You stay to the side, and let us do it,” one Israel official is said to have advised the U.S. A “short-war” scenario assumes five days or so of limited Israeli strikes, followed by a U.N.-brokered cease-fire. The Israelis are said to recognize that damage to the nuclear program might be modest, requiring another strike in a few years.

U.S. officials see two possible ways to dissuade the Israelis from such an attack: Tehran could finally open serious negotiations for a formula to verifiably guarantee that its nuclear program will remain a civilian one; or the U.S. could step up its covert actions to degrade the program so much that Israelis would decide military action wasn’t necessary.

U.S. officials don’t think that Netanyahu has made a final decision to attack, and they note that top Israeli intelligence officials remain skeptical of the project. But senior Americans doubt the Israelis are bluffing.

They’re worrying about the guns of spring — and the unintended consequences.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 3, 1912: “In a statement given out this morning Mayor Bishop emphatically denied the YEARS existence in Lawrence of any ‘public AGO dances’ as stated by members of the IN 1912 Council of the Lawrence Federation of Women’s Clubs. [Their] statement is that in Lawrence there are various public dances where a condition of affairs exists that verges on immorality and are bad in their influence on the students. Because of these dances, the women state that they will ask the city to appoint an inspector of public ‘amusements’ and see what can be done to eliminate such features from the civic life of Lawrence.”

Iran threat can’t be denied One of several casualties of the vitriolic name-calling between Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich is what to do about Iran.

In interviews, Romney has spoken about tougher sanctions, but it’s been difficult to consider the candidates’ positions on Iran — or much else — with the childish talk about who is the bigger liar.

James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, testified Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Clapper said that while American sanctions are likely to have a greater impact on Iran’s nuclear program, they are not expected to lead to the demise of Iran’s leadership.

Clapper said, “We assess Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons, in part by developing various nuclear capabilities that better position it to produce such weapons, should it choose to do so.”

Given the apocalyptic statements from Iran’s leadership, is anyone in doubt about Iran’s intentions? Clapper said Iran is expanding its capability to enrich uranium and that the end product can be used for either civil or weapons purposes.

Clapper acknowledged “Iran’s technical advancement, particularly in uranium enrichment, strengthens our assessment that Iran has the scientific, technical, and industrial capacity to eventually produce nuclear weapons, making the central issue its political will to do so.”

The central issue for Israel and the United States is this: can Iran be stopped by a pre-emptive attack, or must we wait until it

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

launches — or threatens to launch — a nuclear missile at Israel, or explodes — or threatens to explode — “suitcase bombs” in U.S. cities?

In the English edition of “Israel Hayom,” the largest circulation Hebrew daily in Israel, former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger writes about the history of pre-emptive strikes that did not materialize and the consequences of waiting to be attacked before acting, http:// www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1298.

Ettinger believes the reluctance to engage in a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities “is harmful, ignores precedents, plays into Iran’s hands and threatens Israel’s existence” because it conveys “hesitancy, skepticism and fatalism, aiming to preclude pre-emption and assuming that Israel can co-exist with a nucleararmed Iran,” which of course it cannot, anymore that the United States could have co-existed with Cuba when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles there during the Kennedy administration.

The history and consequences of American and Israeli reluctance to engage in pre-emption has been chronicled by Ettinger. Here are two of several examples: Oct. 5, 1973: Israeli Prime Minister Golda

Meir rejected the option of a preemptive strike against mobilizing Egyptian and Syrian troops. Meir didn’t want to appear as the aggressor and damage ties with the U.S., which was pressuring Israel to do nothing, probably out of fear the incendiary situation would be “inflamed.” Following the resultant Yom Kippur War, many came to view the cost of waiting as greater than it might have been had Israel attacked first.

In June 1981, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin considered a pre-emptive strike against Iraq’s nuclear reactor. Most of the intelligence and military leadership in Israel opposed action.

Begin concluded, correctly, the cost of restraint would be greater than the cost of action. The surprise Israeli air strike took out the reactor under construction near Baghdad. The United Nations Security Council denounced the attack and the Reagan administration issued the pro forma denunciations of Israel’s actions, though there were reports the president tacitly approved. The results were favorable to Israel and the U.S., delaying further action against Saddam Hussein until Desert Storm in 1991 and his ultimate overthrow in 2003.

Now Israel and the U.S. are faced with another choice: a pre-emptive strike that would set back, or destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, or wait and see what might happen.

Does anyone — other than Ron Paul — deny the disaster that might occur if Iran had a nuclear device and the capability to deliver it against targets in Israel and America?

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

To the editor: Thank you for your Jan. 30 editorial regarding the renaming of part of 11th Street for Don Fambrough. I did not know him personally, but I did enjoy watching the football teams he coached and I have no doubt he contributed to Kansas University and Lawrence in many ways. However, in recent years newspaper stories about him were largely devoted to his annual diatribes to the football team about the iniquities of Missouri.

Last week, the musical “South Pacific” was performed at the Lied Center. One of its most moving songs is “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught,” which cries out against discrimination in lines such as “You’ve got to be carefully taught … to hate all the people your relatives hate.” I hope that renaming part of 11th Street will not be taken as civic endorsement of that kind of teaching.

Allan Hanson, Lawrence

Divorce ban?

To the editor: Kudos to Steve Craven for his letter of Jan. 29, dealing with homophobic religious fundamentalists who quote obscure passages from the Old and New Testament to put the fear of God in us.

I’d like to add one more example of the hypocrisy exhibited by these biblical “scholars.” Have you noticed that the words of Jesus according to the Gospels make no mention of homosexuality? One would suppose that if it’s such a horrendous sin, Jesus would have condemned it. One thing that Jesus does condemn in at least two Gospels is the topic of divorce (Matthew 5:32; Mark 10:11,12). Why isn’t there a law in Kansas forbidding divorce?

Our political and religious leaders are missing a sure bet.

Quote those verses and refuse to grant divorces in Kansas and we will make history. Next time someone starts quoting from the book of Leviticus to condemn homosexuality, surprise them by mentioning the divorce passages. My experience has been that they either change the topic or they walk away.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mizzou fan antics don’t rile Robinson So, did the Antlers, the maniacal Missouri students famous for unearthing the guarded phone numbers of Kansas University basketball players, get their hands on Thomas Robinson’s digits?

“No,” Robinson said. “I gave ‘em Merv’s number, so I’m pretty good.”

That would be Merv Lindsay, the seldom-used freshman forward. Presumably, Robinson was joking.

Efforts to rattle Robinson won’t stop at students trying to wake him up. The Mizzou Arena crowd will send a relentless stream of verbal bullets his way to see if they can throw him off his game. He plans to let them bounce off his chest.

“I know going to Mizzou is going to be the most testing situation I’ll have, probably in my career,” Robinson said.

“Those fans are pretty rough on us. I mean, we’re the opposing team. All the odds are against us, but I want to get this ‘W,’ so I’m not letting anybody in that gym, stadium state, anything, start me. It is what it is. They can say what they want. We’ve got to get this ‘W.’” Robinson has dealt with more than verbal darts from opponents looking to derail his focus. He repeatedly takes karate chops to the arm, shoves in the back, endless searches to spark the fuse that lights his temper. It used to work. He’s done a terrific job of not letting foes see him sweat from all the shots. Robinson did get tagged with a technical against Ohio State and another at Texas, but his composure definitely has come a long way.

How has he accomplished that?

“I mean, I’ll just say that I know I can’t afford to get a technical,” Robinson said. “That’s going to hurt my team, me sitting down, for one. Two, when I was younger, it was easier to get riled up and in a pushing contest with somebody and you forget about the game. But now that I’m older, I know it’s probably in some other player’s game plan to try to get in my head. But at the same time, I’m too important to my team to let that be a reason I’m not playing.”

Added responsibility can make a person crumble, or it can inflate the confidence of the individual. Clearly, Robinson has responded well.

“It’s definitely a good feeling,” he said. “It’s like taking on responsibility that you ask for.

I got exactly what I asked for.

I’ve been waiting for it, and I got it. So now when you ask for it, you’ve got to take on responsibility.”

Forever facing defenses designed to stop him, Robinson is averaging 17.6 points, 12 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals. He dominated Oklahoma in an 84-62 victory Wednesday night with 20 points, 17 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals.

Robinson had the crowd backing him with roars in that one. He’s not naive about what awaits him in Columbia.

“I’m on Twitter, so I see it all,” Robinson said.

And hears nothing.

“In the gym, as crazy as it sounds, you really don’t hear it because you’re in the game, man,” he said. “You’re not listening to the crowd, listening to what they’re saying. If you do, you won’t be any good, trust me. The only person I saw who did that was Sherron (Collins).”

Robinson doesn’t need to hear that garbage. He just needs the ball delivered on target, on time.

An easy sell

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR DAVE CAMPO TALKS TO MEDIA on Thursday at Anderson Family Football complex.

Campo excited for jump from NFL to KU

By Matt Tait

“

This community and this place and this facility and Any way you slice it, Kansas Charlie sell themselves.” mtait@ljworld.com

University defensive coordinator Dave Campo owed his wife one.

In the late 1980s, when Campo was working at the University of Miami, he and his wife, Kay, attended a Miami Dolphins game one Sunday afternoon. They sat in the nosebleed section and got the true fan experience.

“There were a few guys who had had a few too many to drink and beers all over and people yelling and cursing,” Campo recalled.

“My wife said at that time, ‘Boy, I’m glad we’re not in the NFL.’ One year later we were with the Dallas Cowboys.”

Not long after that, Campo and his wife were at a party thrown by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, when they ran into former Dallas coach Barry Switzer.

“He had a few to drink,” Campo said. “And he wasn’t doing too well this particular night, and he’s sitting there as we’re walking out, and he says, ‘Hey Campo, come over here.’ I shook his hand and said, ‘This is my wife, Kay.’ Well, he stands up, grabs ahold of her, pulls her in and says, ‘I’ll tell ya, it’s great to meet you,’ and all that stuff, right. We finish the conversation, and we’re walking away and she goes, ‘Who was that?’ I

— Kansas University defensive coordinator Dave Campo said, ‘Well, that’s Barry Switzer.’

And she goes, ‘Man, am I glad you don’t work for him.’ One year later I call her up, and I say, ‘Hey, Kay, guess who my boss is now? Barry Switzer.’ She doesn’t wish for anything any more.”

It’s past stories such as those that made Campo’s move to Kansas such a hit for his family. Instead of wishing for things and watching the opposite come true — Campo said Kay later grew to love Switzer Switzer — Campo’s wife simply sat back and took what came her way. Campo, 64, did the same and now the two are residents of Lawrence. After initially thinking she would commute back and forth from Dallas, Kay visited Lawrence not long ago and decided that she’s moving to town, as well.

“She’s more excited about this

than I am,” Campo said. “It’s different. There’s nothing better than Saturday on game day, and you don’t get that same feeling in the NFL. It was an easy sell for my wife.”

It may have been an even easier sell for Campo, who spent 18 years of a 23-year pro career working for the Cowboys but got his start in the business on the college coaching staffs of guys like Johnny Majors (Pitt) and Jimmy Johnson (Miami).

Campo, who was made available to the media for the first time on Thursday, when KU coach Charlie Weis’ entire staff participated in a media day of sorts, did not hear from Weis until he was fired by the Cowboys after finishing a four-year stint as the team’s secondary coach. Campo, who previously had been the head coach and defensive coordinator in Dallas, had been offered a job in the Cowboys’ front office, but knew he was not done coaching.

That, among other reasons, is why he took Weis’ phone call.

“He brought me over one day, called me that night and I said I’m gonna take the job,” Campo said.

“It didn’t take very long. This community and this place and this facility and Charlie sell themselves.

That’s what sold me.”

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

Free State swept at Firebird Duals

FREE STATE SENIOR WRESTLER ANDREW MCLEES, LEFT, GETS CAUGHT UP by Blue Valley Northwest’s Jaquwan Stone, during the Firebird Duals on Thursday at FSHS.

Free State High’s wrestling team wasn’t going to win a beauty contest for its performance Thursday night at the Free State Firebird Duals.

It was an ugly night and not much fun, coach Mike Gillman said, after FSHS went 0-3 in duals, with losses of 69-18 to Manhattan, 49-28 to Topeka Washburn Rural and 53-18 to Blue Valley Northwest.

“It’s not pretty to see those things,” Gillman admitted.

Only two Free State wrestlers — junior 182-pounder Spencer Wilson (3-0) and sophomore 126-pounder Maurice Jacobs (21) — posted winning records at the duals. Gillman said, overall, the Firebirds need to do a better job of showing toughness and refusing to give in.

“I thought a couple of kids quit a little bit tonight,” the coach said.

Fortunately for Free State, that wasn’t the case for all of its wrestlers.

“That’s kind of the soul of our team, the kids that are just really tough,” Gillman said.

No one showed more backbone at the FSHS home event than Jacobs. The night before, at practice, Jacobs bit through his lip after tripping his opponent and falling face-first against his fallen partner’s knee. The sophomore wrestled with 10 stitches in his lip Thursday, and it took some prep work to get the injury match-ready. Before competing, Jacobs had some iodine and gauze placed on the wound and then had some green wrap applied to keep everything in place.

“I had to breathe through my nose,” Jacobs said. “At least I wasn’t sick (with congestion).”

Though muzzled, Jacobs found a way to win two of his three matches.

Bill Self, who on Saturday night might coach his final game in Columbia, Mo., was asked Thursday to identify his favorite of the eight Border War battles contested in Mizzou Arena and/ or Hearnes Center.

“Let’s see ... we’re 5-3 against Missouri? I have five favorite games and three that are very, very unpopular in my historical memory,” Self, KU’s ninth-year coach said with a smile. “There’s nothing more fun in my opinion than beating Missouri, and I’m sure they would say there’s nothing more fun than beating Kansas,” he added.

As far as a few specific recollections?

“I remember David Padgett made an off-balance shot. He throws one in at the buzzer,” Self said of an 8-footer by the There’s 6-foot-11 freshman that bust- nothing ed an 82-82 tie more fun in with two seconds to play in my opinion the final game than beatever played in ing Missouri, Hearnes Center (March 7, and I’m sure they would 2004).

“Two of the say there’s games we lost nothing there ... one of them we had more fun a seven-point than beating lead with 39 Kansas.” seconds left and missed two free — Kansas throws.

An- University men’s other one we basketball coach had a 10-point Bill Self lead with fourminutes left.

Their guard made a shot at the buzzer to win by one or two. We’ve had some great games over there,” Self added.

Self Christian Moody missed a pair of charities with fourtenths of a second left, necessitating overtime in an 89-86 setback to MU on Jan. 16, 2006.

KU did indeed lead by nine with under two minutes left. Thomas Gardner scored 40 points for the Tigers.

The other game Self referred to was a 62-60 Tiger victory on Feb. 9, 2009. Zaire Taylor hit a shot in the lane with 1.3 seconds left as the Tigers successfully battled back from a 14-point halftime deficit.

Self on Thursday commented again on the fact the series will be discontinued after this season. KU will not schedule the Tigers now that Mizzou has become a member of the Southeastern Conference.

“To me it’s disappointing and sad you have a great rivalry like this that could basically be ended,” Self said. “It’s no one’s fault. We are not blaming Missouri. They chose to be somewhere else. They felt it was best for their school to be in another league. Nebraska did the same thing last year. Colorado did the same thing. Texas A&M did the same thing.

“What is a little unfortunate, those schools (MU, A&M) made moves this year when our league is on the most solid footing it’s ever been on. They chose to think the grass is greener somewhere else and it may be.

That’s their prerogative. When you make certain decisions like that, there are certain things that happen behind those decisions that’s affected. This (fact it likely is last game in Columbia) certainly adds adrenaline to an already very competitive situation because kids on both teams are prideful. Fans are prideful.

Luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference: play right away INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andrew Luck is willing to learn from Peyton Manning. He just wants everyone to know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to play next season, too.

The Stanford quarterback said Thursday he could co-exist as Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate even though his preference would be to play immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every competitor wants to play, every down, every play,â&#x20AC;? Luck said when asked about starting as an NFL rookie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, of course, who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to start?â&#x20AC;?

Luck spent less than 24 hours in Indianapolis, going through a battery of physical tests and learning

the intricacies of nutrition at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute.

His next trip to the city, for the annual scouting combine, might determine whether Luck becomes a permanent fixture.

Colts owner Jim Irsay has already said he intends to take Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor with the No. 1 overall pick in Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft, and it looks like a two-man race between Luck and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. But there are big questions surrounding the Colts.

Indy has embarked on a major rebuilding project with Ryan Grigson, a first-time general manager, and Chuck Pagano, a first-time coach.

There are even more concerns about Manning, who missed the 2011 season after having his third neck surgery Sept. 8. The fourtime league MVP has resumed throwing and has steadily increased his workout regimen.

On Thursday, Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor released a short statement saying the quarterback had been cleared to play. Manning has said he does not plan to retire after 14 seasons in the NFL. Irsay said he will wait until next month to decide whether to pay its franchise quarterback a $28 million roster bonus by March 8, redo the contract or risk losing him in free agency.

If Indy keeps Manning and takes Luck, it would be the first real quarterback controversy since the pre-Manning days.

Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Archie, created a buzz late last year when he told a radio show he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the two could be teammates. He later said what he meant was that Luck and Peyton Manning both were good enough to start in 2012.

Lost in all the talk this week about a certain Super Bowl played four years ago today is a more round-numbered anniversary: It was 10 years ago today the Patriots shocked the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Greatest Show on Turf in the Superdome to secure the first championship of the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady dynasty.

Ten years! It hardly seemed possible early Thursday during the course of a 45-minute chat between a still-youthfullooking Brady and die-hard reporters who stayed to the end of his final interview session.

But Brady certainly sensed the passage of time. He is 34 now, a husband and father with more perspective than he had during that tense, post-9/11 Super Bowl week in New Orleans.

Brady said he is more appreciative of the experience now, more tolerant of media obligations and other distractions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, the way this game is, this could be your last game playing, you never, ever know,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I have much more patience for all of this and I enjoy it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Left unsaid in all the wistfulness was a harsh fact of football life. Seven years since they last won it all, the clock inexorably is ticking on the Brady/Belichick experience, and there is no telling if they will pass this way again.

It is true Brady and Belichick already have fashioned the Hall of Fame-caliber legacies the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin still are inching toward.

But it also is true the Boston Bs remain stuck one rung shy of the very top of the historical charts.

Belichickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three rings as a coach trail the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chuck Noll by one. Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three as a quarterback trail Nollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Bradshaw and Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood quarterbacking hero, Joe Montana, by one.

Brady said he is not motivated by his place in football history, even though he did add, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To think that I would ever be mentioned in the same sentence as some of the great players of all time is very flattering and humbling.â&#x20AC;?

He does, though, admit to a sense of motivation borne of the long wait between titles. Shocking but true: Since the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last Super Bowl victory, the Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins have won championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for reminding me,â&#x20AC;? Brady said earlier in the week.

All of which brings us back, naturally, to Super Bowl XLII. If not for a late touchdown drive led by Manning four years ago, Belichick and his quarterback already would be widely hailed as the best ever in their jobs.

(Tangential point: Belichick and Brady were asked whether the Spygate scandal of 2007 tainted their titles. Said Brady: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does that mean we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to hear any more about that if we win? OK, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win the game.â&#x20AC;?)

Instead, they got four years older waiting for another shot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that will arrive Sunday evening.

Brady acknowledged the loss to the Giants is something every remaining member of the 2007 Patriots thinks about, but he consistently has refused to admit â&#x20AC;&#x153;revengeâ&#x20AC;? is the point.

That point is to win and to enjoy the opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one rarer than he once understood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early in my career we were here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of like, yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through this, the season ends the first week of February.â&#x20AC;?

Not always, as it turns out. Said Brady: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you become very appreciative.â&#x20AC;?

IN THIS 1966 FILE PHOTO, TRAINER ANGELO DUNDEE, LEFT, tapes Muhammad Aliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands before a sparring session. Dundee died Wednesday at age 90.

Dundee remembered as boxing ambassador

30/243 /. 46 TODAY

TAMPA, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There was no way Angelo Dundee was going to miss Muhammad Aliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70th birthday party.

The genial trainer got to see his old friend, and reminisce about good times. It was almost as if they were together in their prime again, and what a time that was.

Dundee died in his apartment in Tampa, Fla., Wednesday night at the age of 90, and with him a part of boxing died, too.

He was surrounded by his family, said his son, Jimmy, who said the visit with Ali in Louisville, Ky., meant everything to his Dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the way he wanted to go,â&#x20AC;? the son said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did everything he wanted to do.â&#x20AC;?

Jimmy Dundee said his father was hospitalized for a blood clot last week and was briefly in a rehabilitation facility before returning to his apartment.

Dundee was the brilliant motivator who worked the corner for Ali in his greatest fights, willed Sugar Ray Leonard to victory in his biggest bout, and coached hundreds of young men in the art of a left jab and an overhand right.

More than that, he was a figure of integrity in a sport that often lacked it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, he was the greatest ambassador for boxing, the greatest goodwill ambassador in a sport where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much animosity and enemies,â&#x20AC;? said Bruce Trampler, the longtime matchmaker who first went to work for Dundee in 1971. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an enemy in the world.â&#x20AC;?

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD

LHS thrower Hocking signs with UMKC

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The first time Lawrence High track coach Jack Hood met Blake Hocking, an eighth-grader at the time, the young thrower told the Lions coach he wanted to set the school record in the shot put.

“Good luck,” Hood thought to himself.

That was four years, roughly three inches and 40plus pounds ago for Hocking. And a lifetime ago in the thrower’s seemingly nonstop development.

Hood couldn’t help but think back on that meeting Wednesday afternoon at the LHS library, where he watched his star pupil, now a senior, sign a letter of intent with University of MissouriKansas City’s track and field program.

The skepticism on the part of the LHS coach upon meeting Hocking was merited.

Two-time Olympic medalist Bill Nieder held the school record when Hocking made his goal known. “In my mind Bill Nieder’s a god,” Hood said.

Deification might not be in Hocking’s immediate future, but he did complete his mission and break Nieder’s 59-year-old mark with a throw of 62 feet, 9 inches as a junior.

Now Hocking has another number in mind for his senior year of shot putting: 70 feet.

With his pedigree and de-

Of course there is. Hocking wants to be a dentist.

That’s his dream, and UMKC gave him that option. Clearly a goal-oriented individual, Hocking said the idea of a career in dentistry seemed pretty obvious after one particular visit.

“I went to my dentist about three years ago, and he has a really nice convertible,” Hocking deadpanned, showing off his love for one-liners.

“He works four days a week, and it seems like a great life.”

If he attacks his career path with the same vigor he has displayed while becoming a better thrower, Hocking is bound for success. Hood said

the 6-foot-3, 260-pound future Kangaroo has spent uncountable hours in the gym lifting weights, and the mileage he and his family put in traveling to different camps and AAU track events during the past few summers were a critical part of his development.

The hardest part of getting to this point, Hocking said, was dedicating so much time to his craft and building his strength. Weekends aren’t about cutting loose — “I’m not the biggest partier,” he said. Free time, for Hocking, is about getting results.

Before his junior year, Hocking went to Iron Wood Thrower Development Camp in Washington.

There, he made Division I connections and learned the

“It’s just exploded since then,” Hocking said.

So, apparently, has his popularity. A crowd of friends, family and well-wishers sang “Happy Birthday” to Hock

ing, who happened to turn 18 Wednesday, after he signed with UMKC. Hocking said he was surprised by the number of people who crammed into the library for the occasion.

“I’ve touched the lives of a lot of people, I guess,” he said sarcastically.

That statement would

actually be true in regards to Hood, who admitted he would be sad to see Hocking go. Still, the coach was wholeheartedly proud of the thrower who once set what seemed like an unattainable goal.

“He was willing to do the work and pay the price to get that,” Hood said.

minute of it. We are going to embrace their crowd, embrace the fans. We are going to go there and just play.”

Taylor said the Jayhawks actually expected a rowdy crowd.

“I am thinking it’s going to be pretty rough down there.

It should be. They are a real good team, a top five team in the country,” he said. “It’s a rival. I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t a good crowd in there.

I think it will be a good atmosphere. With an atmosphere like that, it feels a lot better to win when the crowd is into it and going crazy. I’m excited about that. It’s why we came to Kansas, to play in big games like this.”

Noted junior Jeff Withey: “We know it will be loud and crazy. The whole Big 12 is pretty crazy. When it’s a rivalry game like this it goes extra crazy. They (fans) try to get into your head. We will go in there ready to play. A win on the road is something we need. To get one there would be awesome.”

Tipoff for Saturday’s game is 8 p.m., with a live telecast on ESPN. The network’s College GameDay crew will be in town.

“I just wanted to get it over with,” he said with a chuckle.

Wilson wasn’t surprised to see the 126-pounder, who also dabbles in boxing, perform under less-than-ideal circumstances.

“It doesn’t bother him at all,” Wilson said. “He’s one of the toughest kids in the room.”

The grit of a couple of Free State freshmen impressed Gillman, too. The Firebirds’ 113-pounder, Sebastian Joseph, went 1-2 at the duals.

“He wrestled some tough kids, and he just didn’t give up,” the coach said.

Gillman also was impressed by Isaac March (120 pounds). Although the freshman went 0-3, March, who usually competes for the junior varsity, found out Wednesday he would be part of the varsity lineup.

“He really fought his butt off,” Gillman said.

As usual, Wilson stood out for Free State. One of his three victories came against Manhattan senior Trey Campbell, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A. Gillman said Wilson, ranked No. 2, has a unique ability to take control on the mat.

“He’s just so tough on top and so strong, you just can’t get away once he gets ahold of you,” the coach said.

The highlight of the night for Wilson, though, came in his first match, when he ex-

ecuted a move he “made up” this past summer.

“You just get a front headlock, you reach under the far ankle and you throw them over like a fireman’s (carry). They just land on their back,” Wilson explained, adding that the move finishes with him on top for a pin.

Free State had five wrestlers win one match at the duals: Joseph, senior Andrew McLees (132), sophomore Colton Steele (138), junior Ben Soukup (152) and sophomore Stan Skwarlo (160).

Manhattan, ranked No. 3 in 6A, went 3-0 in duals.

Washburn Rural was 2-1 and BVNW went 1-2.

The Firebirds are off until the Sunflower League Invitational on Feb. 11 at Shawnee Mission Northwest.

There’s more talk about it that translates and falls down to the players’ level as well.”

Self, by the way, is 17-3 alltime against Missouri — 14-3 as KU coach. Frank Haith has yet to coach a game versus the Jayhawks.

“I think it’s definitely more important than other games.

Kansas-Missouri ... that alone makes it more important,” said KU senior Tyshawn Taylor. “It’s probably the last time we’re going to play against them (at MU). They are going in a different conference.”

Taylor cut a joke when asked what the Jayhawks think when the team bus crosses the border and sees the “Welcome to Missouri” sign.

“We do the thumbs-down sign,” he said.. “No ... it’s not that serious. This rivalry goes back before we even know.

We take on that role of not really liking those guys. In a competitive sport we play in it’s going to be like that.

We’re going to take this ride to Missouri and enjoy every

Grizzlies 96, Hawks 77 ATLANTA — Rudy Gay scored 21 points to lead five Memphis players in double figures, and the Grizzlies blew out the listless Atlanta on Thursday night.

Memphis pulled away late in the first half, closing on an 18-7 run that gave the Grizzlies a 10-point lead at the break. They totally blew it open in the third quarter after Atlanta missed its first seven shots and turned it over three times.

The Hawks were coming off a 4-1 road trip that left them tied with Miami for the Southeast Division lead.

But they looked exhausted in their return to Philips Arena, putting up ugly jumpers, playing pedestrian defense and struggling just to hang on to the ball.

Gay and the Grizzlies took advantage, running the court with abandon and slamming down several thunderous dunks. The sparse crowd at Philips Arena began booing in the third quarter, then mostly headed for home early in the fourth as Memphis stretched the lead as high as 30 points.

Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo scored 18 apiece for Memphis, while Mike Conley had 15. Marc Gasol turned in a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Dante Cunningham chipped in with 10 rebounds off the bench.

Josh Smith led the Hawks with 11 points, playing only 19 minutes.

Both teams cleared their benches in the final minutes and the only thing the Hawks could take solace in was avoiding their worst loss of the season, which remains a 22-point defeat at San Antonio.

Bulls 105, Knicks 102 NEW YORK — Derrick Rose scored 32 points to outduel fellow All-Star starter Carmelo Anthony, and Chicago beat New York.

Rose had 15 in the fourth quarter and repeatedly answered when the Knicks rallied. With Chicago leading 88-83 midway through the final period, the reigning MVP scored on three straight possessions. He split Anthony and Amare Stoudemire to flip in a shot from past the backboard, then hit a threepointer to put the Bulls up 95-88.

Spurs 93, Hornets 83 SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan scored 19 points, Tony Parker had 18, and San Antonio won its third in a row.

A night after Duncan scored 25 in a win over Houston, it was somewhat surprising that he even played.

Coach Gregg Popovich has vowed to limit the 35-yearold’s minutes and playing the West’s worst team seemed to invite a night off.

But the Hornets didn’t make it easy. Carly Landry scored 17 points and Greivis Vasquez added 16 points staring in place of Jarrett Jack, keeping New Orleans close before the Spurs blew on the game in the fourth.

Changes work for Duke in victory at Virginia Tech The Associated Press

No. 7 Duke 75, Virginia Tech 60 BLACKSBURG, VA. — Changes to the starting lineup. A team ban on social media. A bus ride to Blacksburg.

Duke made lots of changes coming into its game at Virginia Tech on Thursday night, and the No. 7 Blue Devils put together one of their more complete performances.

“Once we get going and our offense gets going and our defense plays at the same level as our offense, we’re a good team,” said Ryan Kelly, who scored 15 points.

Austin Rivers led the Blue Devils with 18 points and added five assists and five rebounds, and the Blue Devils used a 13-2 burst late in the first half to open a doubledigit lead they never relinquished.

“Everybody’s so unselfish now and it makes everything fun,” Rivers said.

Two hard practices before the trip to Cassell Coliseum helped Duke find its focus and maintain it throughout.

Kelly said the move away from social media was a team decision, and coach Mike Krzyzewski said it’s a mature one that could pay dividends.

“They just decided that instead of a twitter family or

whatever, it’s better to concentrate on our family,” he said. “It’s for the next couple of months and then they’ll have a lot to tweet about.

“Hopefully, they will.”

Krzyzewski made two changes to the starting lineup, removing Seth Curry and Kelly in favor of Josh Hairston and Tyler Thornton — a move mostly inspired by defensive play.

But Kelly still had a huge impact, and in a key spot.

He had seven points in the 13-2 spurt that helped the Blue Devils (19-3, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) pull away. Rivers hit a 3-pointer and Kelly scored the last five in a 10-0 burst in the second half when Duke extended its lead to 62-40 with 11:19 remaining. Curry added 11 Don Petersen/AP Photo points and Mason Plumlee DUKE’S AUSTIN RIVERS, LEFT, STEALS THE BALL from had 10 for Duke.

1953-54. Marcus Brister had 17 points and eight rebounds for the Redhawks (12-10, 7-3).

The lead changed hands three times in the first half and Murray State trailed the Redhawks 39-33 at the break.

Murray State took the lead for good less than 10 minutes into the second half.

Southeast Missouri forced 14 turnovers, but Murray State outrebounded the Red-

hawks 43-34. Ivan Aska added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Racers, and his dunk with 1:58 to go gave Murray State a 12-point lead — its largest of the game.

Getting the chance to return to his college roots was another selling point.

“That’s the exciting part,” Campo said. “I think I’ve always leaned toward the younger players when I’ve been in the National Football League because they’re still hungry, they’re looking to go somewhere. I actually like those types of players more than the guys who are pretty happy with what they’re doing.”

Since accepting the job in mid-January, Campo has been on a whirlwind reunion with the college game that included two weeks of recruiting, introductions to new co-workers and the evaluation of a team that went 5-19 during the past two seasons and rarely played the kind of defense Campo is used to coaching.

With signing day now behind him and the task of fitting his philosophies to the pieces in place ahead, Campo just has started to scratch the surface of all the things that will matter on Saturdays this fall. He does not know yet whether the Jayhawks will play a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense.

He has vast experience with both and is comfortable with either. He does not know yet whether the incoming players will crack the lineup, the current players will improve or some combination of both will occur. And he does not know exactly how he will go about trying to slow down the spread offenses that have become the signature style of the Big 12 Conference. But he has time to figure it all out, and that will start after the

“

I think I’ve always leaned toward the younger players when I’ve been in the National Football League because they’re still hungry ... I actually like those types of players more than the guys who are pretty happy with what they’re doing.”

— Kansas University defensive coordinator Dave Campo short break that’s on the horizon, the one that will allow Campo to return to Dallas to be with Kay and his two dogs.

“This is my 41st year of coaching, and I look at this almost as if I am changing careers,” Campo said. “I am going to a situation where I have to look at the things that are going on in college football from a football standpoint as well as getting back into the rules, which are completely different (from the NFL). There really is a lot of excitement, and I am looking forward to the gameday experience along with all the other things you find on the college level that you miss in the National Football League.”

Excitement and enthusiasm are staples of the Campo way. Ego is not.

“That’s what made coach Campo successful,” said new KU special teams coach, Clint Bowen, who also will coach KU’s safeties. “You may have some preconceived notions because he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, but when you meet him, you find out that this is just a good human being, a good, sincere, genuine person.”

ASSISTANT COACHES SPEAK “I think we all learn from our experiences everyday and we all improve. The one thing with Coach Weis that I know is that he has a big heart and cares about his players and his staff.”

— Rob Ianel- Ianello lo, recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach “They’re very proud and they want to win.

That is half the battle. My goal is that when they walk on the field here at Memorial Stadium they are going to Grunhard believe they are the best prepared team on the field.” — Tim Grunhard, offensive line coach “I still have friends that coach there, so I’m always supportive of Missouri...

There’s a lot of history and a lot of love there, obviously, but my loyalty is to Kansas and Cross Coach Weis.”

— DeMontie Cross, linebackers coach “You take it day-by-day. What I mean by day-by-day is that every day is different. I’m not trying to train a piece of dough that I’m trying to mold, I’m training a person. Ninety percent of the game Holsopple is mental.

I’m training 18-to-22 year old kids, but hopefully when they leave they will be grown men.” — Scott Holsopple, strength and conditioning director “Our goal isn’t just to go win a couple of games and go see what we can do. We want to win a bunch of games. We’re not going to make predictions and try to set a number out there or anything Powlus like that, but we have resources to win here.” — Ron Powlus, quarterbacks coach

“Every position I thought we addressed (through recruiting).

We didn’t fill all the holes.

We made strides. We’ve improved the football team, so I’m really excited about that. I think the product Wyatt on the field will be much improved next season.” — Buddy Wyatt, defensive line coach “It’s unique in that he’ll get after them, but (Weis) cares. When you talk to him, you think you’re going to go 12-0 because he has this air about himself, this confidence.

That’s something at this point in time that we need here.

When you talk to him for Mitchell 10 minutes, you’re ready to go out and run through a wall, so I think the transition has been good. The players have bought in.”

— Reggie Mitchell, running backs coach “We have had a lot of DB’s that had some success here, Aqib Talib, Chris Harris, Darrell Stuckey, Justin Thornton, so we can tie into that.

Coach Campo has been coaching DB’s for 23 years at Miami, the Dallas Cowboys, so if you are a defensive back Bowen and you want to go play college football, this is the place to come get coached by some guys who have seen and done a lot of things.” — Clint Bowen, special teams coordinator and safeties coach “I am fired up to continue to work for (Weis) and to continue to learn underneath him. You try to keep up with him mentally and it is impossible because I have tried throughout this whole process, but he is so smart, so intelligent and is always thinking ahead. One of his best characteristics is his poise in adverse situations.

When things don’t go Blasko particularly well, he does an outstanding job of keeping his cool, especially on game day.” — Jeff Blasko, tight ends coach

and expensive. I understand that not all women feel as I do, so when I’m around mothers, I say nice things about their kids and have positive comments when shown pictures.

However, these same parents are shocked to learn that I am not as thrilled with their little darlings as they are. Is there a nice way to say, “I think your baby is sweet, but I feel more comfortable when the little tyke is on someone anniesmailbox@comcast.net else’s lap”? — Not a Mommy Dear Not: No matter how I do? I love my siblings and nice you are, some people don’t want to lose contact. — will be offended that you Sibling Support don’t admire their child as Dear Sibling: Tell your mother you would be happy to get the kids Halloween costumes and school supplies — and then go get them.

Don’t give the money to Mom if you think she is misusing it.

Instead, put it directly where the assistance is needed. But do it with the utmost concern and sincerity.

Dear Annie: I am a woman who doesn’t care much for babies. What do I say to those who expect me to hold their infant? Some people actually thrust their little bundle into my arms without even asking.

I have never had any desire to have children, and I don’t see what the appeal is. Babies are messy, leaky, smelly and noisy, as well as demanding

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Sheen finds affirmation in his rebel roots The celebrity genealogy series “Who Do You Think You Are?” (7 p.m., NBC) returns with a glance at a few of the gnarled branches in Martin Sheen’s family tree.

The star of “The West Wing,” ‘‘Apocalypse Now” and “Badlands” is Irish on his mother’s side; his father’s people hail from Spain. A trip to both countries reveals uncles who were politically involved and arrested for their activities.

His maternal uncle was imprisoned as an IRA radical during the Irish Civil War in the early 1920s and became infamous for burning down the prison that held him.

His father’s brother, an alleged Spanish Communist, was given a life sentence under the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco.

Sheen is intrigued by this, given that he’s been arrested dozens of times for his own political activism. He admits the futility of his political passions and has no delusions that he is changing the world, or even changing minds. He sees activism as something central to his identity. “I cannot not do it,” he asserts.

I guess Sheen has every right to find his uncles’ activities interesting in light of his own. On the other hand, is he excavating stories from the past merely to hold a mirror to his own image? Is he cherrypicking his own family history?

What about his hundreds of other ancestors? Were they similarly rebellious?

Would he be disappointed to find he came from farmers or shoemakers?

I guess I’m a little unconvinced by this genealogy-as- destiny business. I hold with the Shakespeare line from “Julius Caesar,” quoted famously by Edward R. Murrow: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” I’m similarly convinced that our virtues do not stem from our genes.

Over the course of the season, the show will feature the backgrounds of Marisa Tomei, Blair Underwood, Reba McEntire, Rob Lowe, Helen Hunt, Rita Wilson, Edie Falco, Rashida Jones, Jerome Bettis, Jason Sudeikis and Paula Deen.

O Leaky vessels and bar room brawls abound on “Bering Sea Gold” (9 p.m., Discovery). Last week’s debut of this enjoyably ridiculous series was the highestrated series launch in Discovery Channel history.

Tonight’s other highlights O A drowning man is saved, but not his memory on “A Gifted Man” (7 p.m., CBS).

O Torrid tempers in Hotlanta on “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Ray Suarez hosts a “Need To Know” (7:30 p.m., PBS) look at the employment picture.

O Organ harvesters strike on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

O Astrid meets her Alternate on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

O A look at politics and policy on “The War Room With Jennifer Granholm” (8 p.m., Current). The network was misidentified in an earlier column.

O A cause seems lost on “On Freddie Roach” (8:30 p.m., HBO).

O A gunman accosts Danny and his family on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

O Portland police get a fashion makeover on “Portlandia” (9 p.m., IFC).

seems to test your temper more often than not. You wonder when to say “that is enough.” Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Continue being low-key, especially as your mind weighs the pros and cons of a personal situation. Ask for feedback only from people you respect; otherwise, don’t dare. Tonight: You will know what to do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You might need to rethink your plans. A meeting results in common goals and support.

Tonight: Only what you want to do!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ It could be close to impossible to pursue any other course than the immediate one. You take the lead, whether you are in charge or not. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You might want to evaluate what has been a problem once more.

You’ll easily find a solution and realize how irrelevant the issue might have been.

Tonight: Take off ASAP. Adventure lies ahead.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Visualize a deeper partnership that allows greater give-and-

take. You could be set back by a conversation from a while ago. Tonight: You are happiest with few people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ++++ You find that others insist on being on center stage. Let them, as you won’t be able to change their minds. Tonight: Don’t be surprised if someone singles you out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You might believe you have put in enough effort — you have.

Be more forthright and direct. Tonight: It gets better as the night gets older.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Your mind-set goes with the day and the pending weekend. Tame your expansive imagination and allow yourself to penetrate a project or situation in your daily life.

Tonight: Let it all hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ Tension builds, encouraging an even more positive outlook on the weekend. You might need a walk or a break to center yourself in the afternoon.

Tonight: Plans could change.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

much as they do. If they ask you to hold the baby, reply with alarm, “Oh, no, I couldn’t possibly. I’m afraid I would drop it.” If they push the baby toward you, put your hands up and back away. You are under no obligation to participate in this ritual, and if others can’t understand your attitude, so be it.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Friday, Feb. 3: This year, deal with your strong feelings. You won’t take on what others project on you. This clarity will make your life work better. Use caution with your funds. You easily could lose money, have your wallet stolen or even be swindled. Your creativity soars, whatever your focus might be. If you are single, you are a magnet to those who are lighthearted and playful. If you are attached, sometimes the two of you will behave in a manner that is reminiscent of new lovers.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Think before you speak, as you could put your foot in your mouth with ease. You might mean well, but your subconscious becomes more activated and will remain so. Tonight: Join friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ Juggle your finances with care. You could find that what seems clear to you is hogwash to another person. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Someone

Dear Annie: I am one of nine children. There is a large age gap between us because my younger siblings are from a second marriage. They are 3, 5 and 7.

Since moving out a few years ago, I have begun to see my mother in a different light. As a child, whenever I needed something, I was always told to ask my father because she “didn’t have the money.” I accepted this.

However, I now see how often Mom tells her children she doesn’t have money for them, but somehow finds it for herself. She is a very selfish person.

Several times in the past few years, she has called to say how upset she is that she has no money to get my younger siblings Halloween costumes or school supplies or to send them on field trips.

I always step up and offer financial assistance. But I am beginning to notice that soon after helping her out, Mom somehow finds the money to go out to a nice dinner, take a trip or buy a new gadget for herself.

I feel used and misled, but when I’ve said so, Mom replies that I’m inconsiderate and only care about money.

A few times, she has threatened to not let me see my siblings if I keep being so “rude and uncaring.” What should
