Safety vs. savings illuminated ————

Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, but energy efficiency outshines incandescents By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See video at LJWorld.com

Across Lawrence, more than 1,500 incandescent light bulbs already have been switched out for compact fluorescent lights as part of an intrastate energy competition with Manhattan. In the Take Charge Challenge competition between Lawrence and Manhattan, residents are encouraged to reduce their energy use. The winning community will receive $100,000 to help fund an efficiency project, money that comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Using compact fluores-

cent lights is one way to cut back energy use. And while CFLs offer a great way to save money and conserve energy, many people have questions about just how safe and practical they are. We asked experts in Lawrence to answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

Do CFLs contain hazardous material? Yes. On average, a CFL contains about four milligrams of mercury, which is sealed within the bulb’s glass tubing, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In comparison, the amount of mercury is less than 0.01 of the amount found in an old mercury thermometer. At high levels, exposure

How do I dispose of CFLs? Just like paint and household cleaners, CFLs should not be thrown in the trash and taken to land-

fills, said Kathy Richardson, operations supervisor for the city of Lawrence’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Division. Instead, Richardson said, they can be recycled through the city or at some local hardware stores. As part of the city’s Household Hazardous Waste Program, residents can schedule an appointment to drop off CFLs by calling 832-3030. In Lawrence, Home Depot, 1910 W. 31st St., and Cottin’s Hardware and Rental, 1832 Mass., also accept household CFLs.

TICKET SCANDAL

KU mulls options for recovering losses By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Kansas Athletics Inc. knows it lost $1 million to $3 million, and maybe more, when at least six of its employees stole more than 19,000 tickets for football and men’s basketball. What KU officials don’t know is how much of that money they’ll be able to get back. “Nothing has changed,” said university spokesman Jack Martin, noting that the university’s intentions to seek financial compensation had been disclosed months ago. “We will pursue appropriate legal avenues to recover money from the tickets these individuals diverted.”

Now that six former employees have admitted their guilt in federal court, and four have agreed to jointly owe $2 million in a “monetary judgment,” attention is starting to turn toward just how the university and its athletics department might be made whole. The short answer: They can’t. There’s no way to tell precisely how many tickets

had been stolen, nor for how long, although an internal investigation conducted for the university estimated losses at up to $3 million. The longer answer: The university and the department have options for getting at least some of the money back, even if they haven’t decided yet whether or how to pursue them.

“It is us, as Kansas Athletics, that will have to go after the restitution,” said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic Kirtland director for external relations. “As soon as the courts decide everything, as soon as that process plays through, we will then determine what our next step is going to be.” One step already is being taken: seeking coverage from a $250,000 insurance policy taken out by Kansas Athletics to protect against Please see KU, page 5A

TOPEKA — No one would hit a soccer ball with a laptop computer. “You would be appalled and furious that such a fine, delicate instrument would be used in such a misused fashion,” said Dr. Bart Grelinger, a neurologist from Wichita. But Grelinger adds, “We think nothing of seeing a star soccer player jump up and deflect a ball with their Grelinger head towards the goal.” His argument is that the human brain is more complicated, more delicate and less reparable than a laptop computer. Physicians and sports trainers are pushing for legislation aimed at protecting young athletes from head injuries during sports. Senate Bill 33 would require that an athlete who appears to have suffered a concussion be removed from practice or a game. It also would require clearance from a health care provider before the youth could participate again, and provides education on head injuries to youngsters, parents and coaches. Grelinger said concussions represent nearly 9 percent of all high school athletic injuries. “We are getting leaner, meaner, faster and have more agility, and that means head injuries,” he said. And because concussions are invisible — unlike a broken arm or twisted ankle — sometimes children are sent back “in harm’s way” before they should go, he said. “Putting athletes at risk before their brains are ready to control the next trauma, should injury reoccur, is careless, and once understood, unconscionable,” he said. The Lawrence school district policy is to follow Kansas State High School Activities Association guidelines, which require any athlete who exhibits behavior consistent with a concussion, such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion Please see BILL, page 2A

to mercury can harm a person’s brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system. In newborns and young children, the mercury can affect the nervous system, which makes a child less able to think and learn. The risk of a small mercury spill has to be weighed against the amount of energy savings the bulbs provide, said Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for Douglas County and the city of Lawrence. “In general, all new technology has costs and benefits,” Horn said.

Dylan Quigley has been to Los Angeles six times and never seen the Hollywood sign. Last year, he was in San Francisco for almost a month and never saw the Golden Gate Bridge. Quigley is an expert on topics ranging from immigration to Supreme Court decisions to agricultural subsidies. His best friends live in places like Dallas, Chicago and Berkeley, Calif.

“We’re a close-knit community who comes together in hotel ballrooms every couple weeks, but no matter where we are, the community is the same,” he said. Quigley’s life is consumed by these things as a debater on Kansas University’s squad. But Quigley, a fifth-year senior from Wichita majoring in political science and philosophy, is about to leave this life he loves. After nine years of debate, starting his freshman year of high school, he’s about to age out of debate. To finish that career, he’d like to add one last win on his record — a national championship.

KU DEBATER DYLAN QUIGLEY has been filling tubs with research material since he was a freshman in high school. Now in his final season of debate, he hopes to finish with a national title.

“It doesn’t matter if you win the first one, it only matters if you win the last one,” he said. “There’s no pickup debates. When you’re done, you’re done.”

Successful career These nine years of debate, starting at Wichita East High School, have culminated in an incredibly successful career for Quigley, who recently won one of the biggest tournaments of the year at Wake Forest with his partner, Sean Kennedy. The win was exhilarating for Quigley, Please see DEBATER, page 5A

dered if Senate Bill 33 was an overreach by government, while another said the measure LEGISLATURE didn’t go far enough. Sen. Roger Reitz, R-Manhattan, who is a physician, had a problem with the bill allowing a licensed health care provider to provide approval for a student to resume sports. Reitz said that decision should probably be left up to a specialist, such as a neurologist. But Sen. Dick Kelsey, RGoddard, said legislators often tout that schools should be locally controlled. “This appears to possibly be another step in micromanaging how the school districts run their operations,” he said. Grelinger said the legislation represented “a great start” but needed more work. He said the proposal, which currently covers

school sports, needs to be expanded to cover sports outside of school, such as soccer clubs. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Kansas City Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt submitted written testimony in support of the legislation. “Given our experience at the professional level, we believe a similar approach is appropriate and necessary when dealing with concussions in youth sports,” Goodell said. “While concussions occur in football, they are also prevalent in many youth sports including soccer, hockey and basketball — whether played by boys or girls,” said Hunt, chairman and chief executive officer of the Chiefs. “This legislation will help parents, teachers, coaches and the youth athletes themselves recognize the signs and symptoms of concussions and respond appropriately.” — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

small amount of mercury within the glass tubing, if a bulb breaks some of the mercury is released as mercury vapor. The broken bulb can continue to release the vapor until the material is cleaned up and removed from the residence. The EPA offers these guidelines: ● Before the cleanup, have people and pets leave the room, and air out the room for five to 10 minutes by opening windows and doors. Also, shut off the heating or air conditioning system. ● During the cleanup, make sure you collect all broken glass and visible powder. Place the cleanup materials in a sealable container. ● After the cleanup, promptly place all the bulb debris and cleanup material outdoors in a trash container or a protected area. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors. To dispose of the broken bulb, contact the city’s Household Hazardous Waste Program at 832-3030. If possible, continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating or air conditioning system shut off for several hours.

If CFLs contain mercury and incandescent lights use more energy, which is better for the environment? When CFLs break or are improperly disposed of, small amounts of mercury are released into the environment. However, the EPA calculates the amount of mercury from CFLs is far less than the amount of mercury that would be released from coalburning power plants to provide electricity to the more ineff icient incandescent lights. I don’t like the harsh blue lights that CFLs emit. Do I have another option? Yes. According to Linda

Cottin, of Cottin Hardware and Rentals, technology has come a long way for CFLs. Manufacturers have produced a soft white CFL bulb that emits light similar to an incandescent bulb. “With the yellow light, you won’t notice too much of a difference,” Cottin said. Consumers can also buy a bluer light that manufacturers designed to mimic daylight, which is suppose to be more calming and easier on the eyes. Consumers tend to prefer the soft yellow light, Cottin said.

Where can I use CFL bulbs? Manufacturers of CFLs are making lights that work not only in lamps but for a home’s recessed lighting, floodlights and spotlights. Buyers can find lights of different shapes and sizes for kitchens, bathrooms and outside. However, manufacturers still have a ways to go, Cottin said. Here are some of CFLs’ limitations: ● CFLs can be used for dimmer lights both inside and outside, Cottin said. But they dim down to about half the full light, as opposed to incandescent lights that can go almost all the way down to dark. ● Manufacturers also have made CFL bulbs for chandeliers.

Do CFLs really save you money? No doubt about it, CFLs are more expensive to buy. At Cottin Hardware, a box of four costs $9.99. In comparison, a box of four 60-watt incandescent bulbs runs $2.29. However, the CFL bulbs last for 12,000 hours while the incandescents have a life of a 1,000 hours. Along with having to be replaced far less often, CFLs save a lot in energy costs. In the first year, a CFL can create $6.86 in energy savings, and $37 over the five-year lifetime of the bulb. And, those numbers don’t include the cost of having to buy new incandescent bulbs to replace the ones that have burned out. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

1 dead, 11 hurt in frat house shooting Two men angry over a dispute at an Ohio fraternity house party left the gathering and returned early Sunday, spraying bullets into a crowd and killing a Youngstown State University student, authorities said. Eleven other people were injured, including a 17year-old with a critical head wound. The men were arrested and charged later Sunday with aggravated murder, shooting into a house and 11 counts of felonious assault, Youngstown police Chief Jimmy Hughes said. The suspects are in their early 20s and from the Youngstown area, but Hughes withheld their names pending further investigation. “These guys were in the location for a little while before the shooting occurred,” he said. “Something happened that they became unhappy. They had some type of altercation.” The shooting occurred at a two-story brick house in a neighborhood of once-elegant homes, many of which are now boarded up.

Ford to raise factory production 13% Ford Motor Co. will increase factory production 13 percent in the first quarter because of higher demand for Ford and Lincoln brand cars and trucks, and further increases are likely through the year, company executives said Sunday. The Dearborn, Mich., automaker said its sales to individual buyers rose 27 percent in January, a strong increase that shows demand for Ford products like the Explorer sport utility vehicle is on the rise. Ford’s overall sales, including those to big fleet buyers such as rental car companies, rose 9 percent last month. The first-quarter increase, to 555,000 vehicles, could mean additional jobs. U.S. sales chief Ken Czubay said Ford is studying whether to add a third shift to factories that now are on two shifts and working overtime. The company also could add production by raising the assembly line speed or by paying more overtime to extend work time.

A racing motorcycle with no brakes. And be careful about the tire pressure; if it’s low, the tires could fly right off. “You gas and go and hope,” said Kris Thompson of racing his 1919 Indian motorcycle that can shoot up to 70 miles per hour. “Push start and you hang on.” Thompson hauled his vintage bike down from Lincoln, Neb., and he was showing it off to hundreds of motorcycle aficionados Sunday at the second annual Santa Fe Trail Vintage Motorcycle Show and Swap Meet at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Leather jackets, Harley gear,

and ZZ Top-style beards were in full supply, as bike lovers packed Building 21 and milled about, admiring the hundred or so antique bikes. The bikes came in all styles and sizes — but all were at least 25 yearsold.

The author of a bill in the U.S. House that would ban taxpayer funds for abortion said he will drop the term “forcible rape” in the exemption portion of the bill. The exemption to the proposed ban will now cover all forms of rape, said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. The bill, which had been cosponsored by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, whose district includes west Lawrence, had touched off a firestorm of criticism. H.R. 3 would make permanent the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds for abortions except in cases of rape, incest and if the life of the mother is threatened. Currently, the amendment is subject to annual review. Jenkins was one of 173 co-sponsors of the bill. But H.R. 3, as filed, also would change the “rape” exemption to

The beards are gray now; the leather jackets and tattoos of younger and wilder days a little faded. Earlier passions for fast, shiny bikes had matured into an appreciation for the classics on display. Sneegas mingled through the crowd in what looked like a pseudo family reunion, as the bikers talked shop and caught up on old times. “When they come out here, you run into people you haven’t seen in years,” Sneegas said. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

They call it the “Vertical Mile.” Forty-five floors. Eighteen steps per floor. Run up, run down. Repeat the circuit 10 times. The urban stair race at Carew Tower in Cincinnati has an upward climb of one mile — and racers are given just three hours to finish. Lawrence resident Keith Dowell plans to use only two of them to complete the task. “It’s the most miserable thing you’ll ever do,” he said. “And while you’re doing it, you hate it. But when you finish, it feels so good.” Dowell, who at 56 is the oldest person competing in the race, frequently participates in com-

petitive stair-climbing events. He trains at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Kansas City, Mo., by running up and down the stairs for an hour. You’d think his favorite machine at the gym would be the StairMaster, but he prefers the treadmill in the corner with the broken motor. He grabs the handle bars and pushes the belt along using only the muscles in his legs. Then he turns around and does it backward. “They all think I’m mad at the gym,” he said. “I go to a spin class and they all think I’m mad. They all sit down on the bike seat and I stand up to try to replicate running up stairs.” Dowell got into competitive stair climbing one winter when he couldn’t find a road race to run. Since then, he’s been unstoppable. He’s one of only 18

participants in the Feb. 20 Vertical Mile race, sponsored by the American Lung Association. Liza Aromas-Janosik, development manager and event coordinator, said most people climb a much abbreviated version of the Vertical Mile in which they run up 45 flights of stairs and then take the elevator down. “It’s a marathon version, so it’s really kind of an extreme version of stair climbing,” AromasJanosik said. “It’s for elite athletes or for people who really want to push themselves.” Dowell plans to push himself. “I’m the oldest one doing it, and I expect to get in the top three,” he said. “I’m going to get in the top three.” — Reporter Brianne Pfannenstiel can be reached at 832-6314.

Volunteers comb through rubble of opera house By Clara Kilbourn The Hutchinson News

WILSON — Shielding her eyes from the late afternoon sun, Libby Sebesta surveyed the dozen piles of fire-blackened wreckage that were once the Wilson Opera House, looking for anything she could recognize. Sebesta, 81, pointed her foot to a thin piece of water-soaked

wood with two thumb holes. “That’s a door from the kitchen steam table,” she said. On a mission aimed at rebuilding the historic 1901 building that was destroyed in a Nov. 6, 2009, fire, Wilson community volunteers have launched Phase I of a threephase plan by sifting their way through the rubble of the Opera House in search of salvageable items.

Gordon Zahradnik, rural Lyons, a Wilson native with “pure Czech genealogy” on both his mother’s and father’s sides, has volunteered to lead the group dedicated to building on the same site. As a part of the cleanup, he arranged for the rubble to be unloaded in a nearby pasture so volunteers could sift through it using pitchforks and rakes. He compared their task to an

archaeological dig. The final load was delivered to the site within the last few weeks. “I knew if it went to a landfill, it would be gone forever,” Zahradnik said. In their first forays through the ashes, volunteers have recovered a collection of metal and glass pieces: a German saber Please see WILSON, page 6A

Christina Aguilera fumbles Eminem, Darth Vader, dogs ads a hit line of national anthem SUPER BOWL

By Mae Anderson

Associated Press Writer

In the Super Bowl of advertising, Justin Bieber replaced Ozzy Osbourne and Joan Rivers became a GoDaddy girl. But a pair of commercials by automakers took the early trophy for online buzz. A two-minute ad for Chrysler starring Eminem and a Volkswagen ad featuring a mini-Darth Vader that went viral before it even aired were two of the most talkedabout spots during advertising’s big night, Super Bowl XLV, in which Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25. Chrysler was one of nine automakers that took advantage of advertising’s biggest and most expensive showcase, at $3 million for 30 seconds, to try to show they’re back after two tough years for the industry. The cinematic third-quarter Chrysler ad starred Eminem driving through Detroit and introduced a new car, the Chrysler 200 sedan, amid gritty scenes of the city. A voiceover talks about how the city has survived going through “hell and back.” “This is the Motor City and this is what we do,” Eminem says. The Chrysler ad was “the big story of the night,”

according to NM Incite, a Nielsen/McKinsey Co. that tracks online buzz. Consumers repeated the “imported from Detroit” slogan over and over in online buzz, the company said. “It was a very risky commercial, but it scored very well with our panel” that rates the ads, said Tim Calkins, Clinical Professor of Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management. Another hit was a Volkswagen’s ad that showed a boy in a Darth Vader costume trying to use “The Force” on objects, including the Passat. “It really wasn’t selling a car, it was selling a feeling, and it tapped into its target market of families very effectively, which you usually don’t see in a car ad,” said Robert Kolt, an instructor at Michigan State University College of Communication Arts & Sciences. Volkswagen released the ad early on Youtube.com and it had than 13 million views before the game even started. Elsewhere, celebrities and humor dominated. A scantily clad Kim Kardashian broke up with her trainer for Skechers, Roseanne Barr took a big hit from a log in a Snickers ad and comedian Joan Rivers, her head at least, became a GoDaddy girl.

After avoiding the Super Bowl for two years as it went in and out of a governmentled bankruptcy, General Motors came back with five ads for Chevrolet. In one ad, a seemingly mundane car dealership ad is disrupted when a Camaro suddenly morphs into the Bumblebee character from the “Transformers” movies. One miss was daily coupon website Groupon’s fake public service ad with Timothy Hutton, which appeared to be a plea for help for people of Tibet but instead touted a deal from Groupon for fish curry. While aiming for humor, “It wasn’t a very effective piece of communication and clearly rubbed some people the wrong way,” Calkins said. Some ads, predictably, drew criticism for being entertaining without doing much to sell people on the item being advertised.

ARLINGTON , T EXAS — Christina Aguilera says she flubbed a line as she belted out the national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl on Sunday night after getting lost in the moment and losing her place. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through,” she said in a statement after the performance. When she was supposed to sing the line “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming,” she instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation. She sang, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming,” repeating and mangling an earlier lyric, with the word ‘watched’ instead of ‘hailed’ and ‘reaming’ instead of ‘gleaming.’ The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz with people commenting on the error. She’s not the first person to mess up the lines of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” In 2001, Macy Gray was famously booed for her off-kilter rendition of the national anthem. She garbled the words at

“forcible rape.” Abortion rights advocates said using the term “forcible rape” could exclude statutory rape or rapes where the victim was drugged, unconscious or verbally threatened. But last week, Smith’s office said the word “forcible” would be replaced with the original language of the Hyde Amendment. Abortion rights supporters still oppose Smith’s bill because it contains other provisions that they said will make it more difficult for women to get comprehensive health care coverage.

Former A.D. Lew Perkins pays up Former Kansas University athletic director Lew Perkins paid his $4,000 fine moments after it was assessed last month by the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission. Perkins admitted no intent to violate the law under a settlement with the Ethics Commission. After the commission approved the deal, Perkins’ attorney, Todd Thompson, went to the Ethics Commission office and wrote a check for the amount of the fine. The Ethics Commission had alleged Perkins violated a ban on gifts to state officials by

Francisco appointed to Ways and Means

Group complains about American Future Fund

State Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, has been appointed to the Senate Ways and Means Committee to replace Janis Lee, who left the Senate after being appointed to the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals. “With Douglas County public schools facing more than $4 million worth of cuts in the next two years and mental health centers in northeast Kansas facing $2.7 million worth of cuts, it’s vital that we have someone with Senator Francisco’s insight and knowledge on this committee,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka. In addition, Francisco will continue serving as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Agriculture and Senate Natural Resources committees. She is also a member of the Senate Utilities Committee, the Joint Arts and Cultural Resources Committee, the Joint Bioscience Committee, the Joint State Building Construction Committee, the Joint Higher Education Committee, and the Joint Energy and Environmental Policy Committee.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether the American Future Fund, which was active in Kansas during the last election cycle, has violated tax law. The fund is set up as a taxexempt nonprofit to provide nonpartisan advocacy on issues. The group opposes the new federal health reform. But CREW said AFF acted like a partisan group during the election. “There is nothing wrong with working to elect Republicans, but you can’t violate the law to do it,” said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. “Given the amount of money the American Future Fund spent on ads in the 2010 congressional elections, it seems clear the primary — if not only — goal of the group is to elect Republicans to Congress.” AFF reportedly spent nearly $10 million nationally during the election campaign. In Kansas, AFF ran ads critical of Democrat Steve Six for his decision not to join a legal challenge to the federal health law. Six lost the election.

Together they unearthed three vegetable bowls printed with a rose pattern and a smaller clear glass bowl - those were all in the green cupboard, Sebesta said. Galliert held up a larger-than-life plastic owl, now flattened and ash-covered, that once graced the rooftop of the Opera House building.

He’s heard stories that every Opera House has a ghost, and he’d like to think it was the Opera House ghost that led him to discover the bank bag that provided seed money for the rebuilding effort. “The Opera House stood as the heart of this community,” Hubert said. “The builders, those who married and the funerals of the people who were part of the founding of the Czech culture of Wilson, those are the souls who are encouraging us forward.” After they have recovered everything that has sentimental value to the Czech history, they’ll market the tangled piles of scrap iron and other metal in the residue for the rebuilding fund. “That’s our plan,” Zahradnik said. They’re hopeful that the many Czech groups from across the United States will contribute to the effort. He’s already heard from people in Prague, Czech Republic, who are eager to help, he said.

EGYPT

V.P. meets opposition, offers compromises EGYPTIAN VICE PRESIDENT OMAR SULEIMAN, CENTER, meets with representatives of protesters in Cairo on Sunday. Egypt’s largest opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, said it would begin talks with the government but insisted on President Hosni Mubarak stepping down immediately.

By Sarah El Deeb and Maggie Michael Associated Press Writers

CAIRO — Egypt’s vice president met with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition groups for the first time Sunday and offered sweeping concessions, including granting press freedom and rolling back police powers in the government’s latest attempt to try to end nearly two weeks of upheaval. But the opposition leaders held firm to a demand the government rejects: that President Hosni Mubarak step down immediately. And the source of the opposition’s sudden power — the youthful protesters f illing Cairo’s main square — said they weren’t even represented at the talks and won’t negotiate until Mubarak is gone. “None of those who attended represent us,” said Khaled Abdul-Hamid, one leader of a new coalition representing at least five youth movements that organized the 13-day-old protests. “We are determined to press on until our number one demand is met” — the ouster of Mubarak. “The regime is retreating,” Abdul-Hamid told The Associated Press. “It is making more concessions every day.” At the same time, there were signs that the paralysis gripping the country since the crisis began was easing Sunday, the f irst day of Egypt’s work week. Some schools reopened for the first time in more than a week, and so did banks — though for only three hours, with long lines outside. A night curfew remains, and tanks continue to ring the city’s central square and guard government buildings, embassies and other important institutions. Since protests began Jan. 25, the 82-year-old Mubarak has pledged not to seek another term in elections to be held in September. The government promised that his son Gamal, who had widely been expected to succeed him, will not do so. Mubarak appointed a vice president — Omar Suleiman — for the first time since he took office three decades ago. He sacked his Cabinet, named a new one and promised reforms. And on Saturday, the top leaders of the ruling party,

including Gamal Mubarak, were purged. Sunday brought another concession that would have been unimaginable just a month ago in this tightly controlled country: Suleiman’s meeting with opposition groups including the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, which has been outlawed since 1954 but is the ruling party’s largest rival. Egypt’s opposition — essentially banned by the government for decades — has long been hampered by a lack of cohesiveness. Sunday’s talks could be a sign the government is trying to divide and conquer as it tries to placate protesters without giving in to their chief demand. Mubarak is insisting he cannot stand down now or it would only deepen the chaos in his country. The protesters, skeptical of a regime they blame for repression, corruption and widespread poverty, vow to maintain their pressure until Mubarak leaves. The United States gave key backing to the regime’s gradual changes on Saturday, after President Barack Obama signaled more strongly that it was time for Mubarak to leave. On Sunday, speaking to Fox News ahead of the Super Bowl football broadcast, Obama said he would not be drawn into predicting when Mubarak would leave office. “Only he knows what he’s going to do,” Obama said. Obama said he hopes to see a representative government emerge and played down concerns that Egypt could become hostile to U.S. interests if the Muslim Brotherhood becomes the dominant

political force. The Brotherhood and another group that attended Sunday’s talks said afterward that they were only a first step in a dialogue which has yet to meet their central demand for Mubarak’s immediate ouster. “I think Mubarak will have to stop being stubborn by the end of this week because the country cannot take more million strong protests,” said Brotherhood representative Essam el-Erian. Suleiman, who is leading the government’s management of the crisis, offered a series of new concessions, saying the government would no longer hamper freedom of press and won’t interfere with text messaging or the Internet. He proposed setting up a committee of judiciary and political figures to study proposed constitutional reforms that would allow more candidates to run for president and impose term limits on the presidency, the state news agency reported. The committee was given until the first week of March to finish the tasks. The offer included a pledge not to harass those participating in anti-government protests, which have drawn hundreds of thousands at the biggest rallies. One of the biggest fears of protesters is that if Mubarak or his close conf idant Suleiman remain in power, they will exact revenge for the humiliating demonstrations by rounding up protesters and torturing them. Many protesters have reported seeing undercover security

forces in the crowds every day, photographing the demonstrators with cell phone cameras. Suleiman’s offer to eventually lift emergency laws with a major caveat — when security permits — would fulfill a longtime demand by the opposition. The laws were imposed by Mubarak when he took office in 1981 and they have been in force ever since. They give police far-reaching powers for detention and suppression of civil and human rights. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry hailed the talks with opposition groups and the promise to remove the emergency law as “frankly quite extraordinary.” Kerry called on Mubarak to lay out a timetable for transition and new elections. “He must step aside gracefully, and begin the process of transition to a caretaker government. I believe that is happening right now,” Kerry told NBC’s Meet the Press. “What’s needed now is a clarity in this process.” Suleiman also offered to open an office that would field complaints about political prisoners, according to the state news agency. He promised measures to fight corruption and to prosecute those responsible for the unexplained disappearance of police from Cairo’s streets more than a week ago. And the government agreed to set up a committee including independent f igures and members of the youth movement to monitor the “honest implementation” of all the new agreements.

Phone subsidy program for broadband on table By Joelle Tessler Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The federal government spends more than $4 billion a year, collected from phone bills, to subsidize phone service in rural and poor areas. Now, it’s considering ways to give those places more for the money: high-speed Internet connections instead of old-fashioned phone lines. The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote Tuesday to begin work on a blueprint for transforming a subsidy program called the Universal Service Fund to pay for broadband. The details the agency works out could have profound consequences not just for residents of rural areas who are still stuck with dialup connections or painfully slow broadband speeds. Many rural phone companies — including both landline and wireless carriers — rely heavily on Universal Service funding and could lose some of this money. New FCC rules could also pave the way for cable companies to begin col-

“

Broadband serves the same role in the 21st century that telephone service served in the 20th century.” — FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski lecting from the program. Although the Universal Service Fund was established to ensure that all Americans have access to a basic telephone line, the Internet is replacing the telephone as today’s essential communications service, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said. “Broadband serves the same role in the 21st century that telephone service served in the 20th century,” Genachowski said. “So we need to modernize this program.” The Universal Service Fund already pays for Internet access in schools, libraries and rural health clinics, in addition to subsidizing phone service for the poor. But more than half of last year’s $7.9 billion in overall spending went to the High Cost fund, which pays phone

companies that provide landline voice service in remote, sparsely populated places where phone lines are unprofitable. Mississippi, Texas and Kansas were the biggest beneficiaries of these payments in 2009, according to FCC data. In the corporate world, the biggest beneficiaries are the biggest phone companies: AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. But smaller, more rurally focused carriers like CenturyLink Inc., Windstream Corp. and Telephone & Data Systems Inc. derive a larger share of their revenue from the fund. The FCC envisions gradually transforming the High Cost program into a new Connect America fund that would underwrite the cost of building and operating broadband networks in underserved and unserved communities. Those networks would be able to handle data traffic as well as regular voice calls. The FCC expects the transition to take place over a period of years, so that subsidies for phone lines would

not disappear before an Internet-based alternative is available in an area. According to AT&T Senior Vice President Robert Quinn, the changes to the Universal Service Fund are long overdue since the current program is spending billions to support a shrinking voice communications market instead of the technology of the future. “If we don’t come up with a rational way to support broadband, the cost of maintaining yesterday’s technology will crush us,” Quinn said. Genachowski stressed that one of the agency’s top priorities is ensuring that Universal Service money is well spent. Over the years, the program has come under fire — particularly among Republicans — for promoting waste by subsidizing multiple rural phone companies in places where the free market doesn’t support even one. Critics also complain that the program gives many carriers little incentive to keep their costs down since reimbursements are based on the expenses that they report.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A raccoon has ended a North Dakota team’s bid for a fourth consecutive regional championship in high school wrestling. The Carrington High School team was pulled from Saturday’s tournament when officials discovered the athletes had been exposed to a live raccoon.

Grafton Police Sgt. Anthony Dumas says the team picked up what members thought was a dead raccoon on the way to the tournament in Grafton and stowed in the storage area of their bus. Dumas says when the compartment was opened later, the raccoon “just trotted away.” The animal didn’t scratch or bite anyone, but it’s not known whether it had rabies.

EDITORIALS

Compromise justified City officials are right to give some special consideration to a company trying to redevelop a key neighborhood retail site.

t’s good to see plans for a new Dillons store near 19th and Massachusetts streets moving forward. The project cleared a key hurdle Thursday night when the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals approved two variances for the project. The variances will allow the store to be built with 129 parking spaces, instead of the 150 spaces that normally would be required, and will eliminate a setback requirement, allowing the store to build closer to New Hampshire and Massachusetts streets. The variances might not be justified for a proposal to build a new store in a less-developed area, but they are an acceptable compromise for a company that is trying to build a new store on a limited footprint in the center of the city. The existing Dillons store has provided a solid retail anchor in an underserved area of the city for many years. A new store, with many of the same amenities that customers can find at other Dillons stores, will be a real asset for that neighborhood. This is a vivid example of the importance of not letting the “perfect” get in the way of the “very good.” There are inherent problems with trying to build a modern supermarket on a small site in a residential neighborhood. Dillons has made an effort to address neighbors’ concerns about added traffic that probably will be generated by the store. We hope the company will continue to work with neighbors and be sensitive to their concerns as planning continues and after the store is built. Dillons has a long history as a good corporate citizen in Lawrence. That being said, the problems associated with this project are far outweighed by the value it will bring to the center of the city. Insisting on arbitrary standards for setbacks and parking might have pushed Dillons to an outlying site, which would have been tragic for that neighborhood. It’s good that the zoning appeals board recognized the importance of working with Dillons to move this project forward. We hope city officials will continue to help the company get the necessary approvals to bring this project to fruition.

Ohio governor has big problems, big plans COLUMBUS, OHIO — In 1997, when Republicans controlled the U.S. House of Representatives and John Kasich chaired the Budget Committee, he set his sights on the GOP’s 2000 presidential nomination because “there just aren’t enough hours left in my life that I can get everything done that I want to get done.” He was 44. The presidency eluded him, as it has every sitting congressman other than James Garf ield (another Ohioan), so Kasich went to work for Lehman Brothers (deceased), Fox News (flourishing) and now Ohio (ailing). His ebullience — 12 years from now, at 70, he will still seem like a boy who rode his balloon-tire bike out of a Booth Tarkington novel — is not dampened by a Midwestern winter’s slate gray sky hanging close to the 30thfloor governor’s office. Having occupied that office for four weeks, he has plans as big as Ohio’s problems. Its population is aging, and shrinking relative to the nation’s: From 2000 to 2010, only Rhode Island and Louisiana had slower population growth (Michigan had negative growth); and Ohio is losing two congressional seats. It will have 16 starting in 2013, down from 24 in 1960. Cincinnati has lost 40 percent of its population since 1950. Most net new job creation in the nation is done by companies no more than five years old, but Kasich says Ohio’s taxa-

Asked what the headline will be when he submits his first budget, he replies, ‘Probably, “Oh my God!’”” tion and regulation environment discourages entrepreneurship. Which is one reason why a third of the state’s college students leave Ohio within three years of graduation. Per-pupil spending in Cleveland and Youngstown public schools is $14,573 and $13,823, respectively (the national average is about $10,800); their graduation rates are 54.3 percent and 58 percent, respectively. Nineteen percent of Ohioans are on Medicaid, which is about 30 percent of the state’s budget. Asked what the headline will be when he submits his first budget, he replies, “Probably, ‘Oh my God!’” When he was chairing the House Budget Committee, Washington cut domestic appropriations 9 percent in 1996 and

achieved a surplus in 1998, but that was with the economy humming. Ohio’s projected fiscal 2012 deficit of 11 percent of the state’s 2011 budget is serious, but far from the calamities facing California (29.3 percent), Texas (31.5), New Jersey (37.4), Illinois (44.9) and Nevada (45.2). Kasich is in the process of privatizing the economic development agency and enticed a Silicon Valley venture capitalist to run it for a $1-a-year salary. Kasich’s traveling for Lehman Brothers was an experience that affected him the way the years with General Electric deepened Ronald Reagan’s enthusiasm for the private sector. Kasich is considering privatizing some prisons and selling or leasing the Ohio Turnpike (Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels leased Indiana’s). Today, Kasich says, there are people getting paid $66,000 a year to collect tolls that machines might collect. He says the turnpike revenues do not come to the state and he is puzzled about where they do go. With Republicans controlling all statewide elected offices (except one Supreme Court seat) and both houses of the General Assembly, Kasich is spoiling for some fights. One will be with the nursing home industry, which will resist state attempts to save money by helping the elderly stay at home. And there will be a brawl with the teachers union over

school voucher programs, charter schools and narrowing the topics — e.g., class sizes — that can be subjects of collective bargaining. He is prepared to threaten a state takeover of failing school systems and is proud that Michelle Rhee, who was constructively confrontational when running the District of Columbia’s schools, is from Toledo. The son of a mailman — and a goulash of Central European ethnicities (Hungarian, Czech, Croatian) — Kasich appeals to the blue-collar workers that Democrats have been losing since the 1960s, and among whom Democrats lost roughly 2 to 1 in 2010. There are many in Ohio, where five Democratic members of Congress lost in 2010. Michael Barone’s Almanac of American Politics calls Ohio “the first entirely American state”: The original 13 began as British colonies and the next three (Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee) were carved from colonies. No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, which has not voted for a losing presidential candidate since 1960. So there will be national repercussions from whatever Kasich accomplishes working here in this middle-sized city in the middle of the state where the Middle West begins, the region where the next presidential election may be decided. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Unfair policies To the editor: I agree with Ken Meyer’s letter (Public Forum, Feb. 2) about state employees not having pay cuts. Everyone else does. Schools are closing. Services and financial aid to the handicapped and elderly are cut while leaders say, “No cuts for state employees.” Why NOT them?

Sidewalk maintenance is one-sided and unfair too because of the city’s ordinance on them. Do we who keep them up, get discounts on our street, sewer and water bills? Mary Ann Kieffer, Lawrence

Schools, land use To the editor: We wonder if the City Commission and its advisory boards have considered the land-use consequences of USD 497 elementary school closures/mergers. (Journal-World, Feb. 1) Recent school closures have cost the city more resources, contributed to blight and helped discourage moderate-income people from moving into fragile central and east-side neighborhoods. Anyone with a 30-year mortgage

on their home in these areas deserves a stable land-use environment; so do families with young children or couples who want to start one, homeowners or not. The Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force needs to be clear how the flow paths from elementary schools to middle schools to high schools will be configured. What happens to the longstanding 15th Street dividing line between Lawrence High and Free State High, and which high school will be most affected by the school board’s decisions? We have welcomed the integration of school services with city services (i.e., city and school bus coordination, public gym recreation and adult education classes) as well as after-school community and civic events. We hope to see more coordination (such as satellite libraries) between these two entities in the future. Just because taxes are channeled separately to USD 497 and the city does not mean they can ignore the impact their decisions have upon land-use, and ultimately, their taxpayer base. John Richardson and Deborah Snyder, Lawrence

Deaf dog finds home at school for deaf FULTON, MO. (AP) — A deaf dachshund is getting some expert help learning more sign language after finding a new home at the Missouri School for the Deaf. The Fulton Sun reported that the 1-year-old dog named Sparky arrived at the midMissouri school this winter after receiving training through a program that pairs rescue dogs with prison inmates. When the eight weeks of training was over, the inmates at the South Central Correctional Center in Licking decided they wanted Sparky to live with deaf students. The superintendent of the Fulton school, Barbara Garrison, jumped at the chance. The students continue adding to the sign language Sparky learned from the inmates. He already knows the signs for “no,” “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” “stop” and “heel.” Prison staff checks in frequently to see how Sparky is doing. The news is all good. Garrison said Sparky teaches responsibility and has the ability to help calm down students with behavior or social problems. “He likes his new deaf family here,” she said.

SUPER BOWL XLV: GREEN BAY 31, PITTSBURGH 25

Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Allen benefits football “There’s no better place to coach, there’s no better place to go to school, there’s no better place to play.” Those words about Allen Fieldhouse, uttered by former Kansas University basketball coach Larry Brown, have given goosebumps to thousands of Jayhawk fans. Aside from providing one of the biggest home-court advantages in the country, KU’s gym plays another role that, at times, flies under the radar. “One of the things that is a great (recruiting tool) for us is being able to take (recruits) to a basketball game,” said KU football coach Turner Gill last week on signing day, when he revealed the 34th-ranked class in the country. “People that have (seen) really good basketball programs go into this arena and say there’s nothing like it.” Some prospects come to Lawrence thinking only of football and luck out that the Jayhawks are in town. Others, such as newly signed quarterback Michael Cummings, arrange their official visits around big games. Cummings, a 6-foot-1, dualthreat prospect from Killeen, Texas, committed last June, but put off taking his visit until KU played Kansas State on Jan. 29. The Jayhawks drubbed the Wildcats that day. ESPN’s “College Gameday” was in town, and the atmosphere, from sunup to sun-down, was classic Allen Fieldhouse. KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self knows how important his program is to KU’s other athletic teams. He likes that. Gill likes it, too. “That’s one thing that gives us a major plus, going to a basketball game,” Gill said. “A lot of people who see that say they’re going to make sure that passion carries over to the football program.” This is not a one-way street. While Gill reaps the benefits of being able to parade recruit after recruit into one of college basketball’s elite arenas, Self desires the same for his program. “Football plays a huge role with us,” Self said. “Kids want to go where there’s atmosphere. Sometimes kids visit places and get emotional and commit right there just because the football team won that night or they stormed the field. So, certainly, having a full Memorial Stadium is just as important for us as it is for their kids coming in.” Self continued: “I hope that we play a role when recruits come to town.” This you-scratch-my-backand-I’ll-scratch-yours philosophy is rare. Too often, coaches want too badly for their sport to be top dog. Not at Kansas. Basketball is king here. It always has been and always will be. Although it may seem like a nobrainer for coaches — especially those with high profiles — to want to help other athletic programs at their universities, it doesn’t always work that way. Ego, greed and a number of other factors can get in the way. The fact that the basketball coach at Kansas realizes football’s place in the big picture benefits everybody. That might not have brought Gill to Lawrence. But it might play a big role in making him want to stay forever. “All the people involved, from basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, and (their) staffs keep us engaged with our student-athletes coming in here and us doing the same for them. It helps all of us,” Gill said. “We have a tremendous amount of coaches and staff here who want to help us.”

GREEN BAY QUARTERBACK AARON RODGERS holds the Vince Lombardi Trophy while celebrating the Packers’ 31-25 Super Bowl victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Rodgers MVP as Packers return to glory By Barry Wilner Associated Press Pro Football Writer

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Forget Lombardi on Broadway. Green Bay has the newest Super Bowl hit: Aaron Rodgers. Capping one of the greatest postseasons for any quarterback, Rodgers led the Packers to their first NFL championship in 14 years Sunday, 31-25 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers reclaimed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for their legendary coach

who won the first two Super Bowls and is making his own star turn in New York these days in the play named after him. Rodgers, the game’s MVP, thrilled his legion of Cheesehead fans with a spectacular six-game string that should finally erase the bitterness of the Brett Favre separation in Green Bay. He’s now equal with Favre in Super Bowl wins, and extended the Packers’ record of NFL titles to 13, nine before the Super Bowl era. “Wow! It’s a great day to be

great, baby,” said Greg Jennings, who caught two of Rodgers’ three touchdown passes. The favored Packers managed to overcame key injuries, building a 21-3 lead, then hung on to become the only second No. 6 seed to win the championship. Coincidentally, the 2005 Steelers were the other. Rodgers threw for 304 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson, who had nine catches for 140 yards to make up for three big drops. Rodgers found

Jennings, normally his favorite target, for 21- and eight-yard scores. “We’ve been a team that’s overcome adversity all year,” Jennings said, who noted injuries to Charles Woodson and Donald Driver. “Our head captain goes down, emotional in the locker room. Our No. 1 receiver goes down, more emotions are going, flying in the locker room. But we find a way to bottle it up and exert it all out here on the field.” Please see PACKERS, page 4B

‘Good’ Tigers have Jayhawks’ attention By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT MATT RISSIEN DANGLES a Tiger in front of the Missouri team during warmups prior to the KU-MU game Jan. 25, 2010, at Allen Fieldhouse. The Border War returns to the fieldhouse tonight.

Sensing reporters were searching for Border War bulletin-board material, Mario Little refused to take the bait. “Missouri’s good. I am not saying anything you all want me to say. I’m going to say what I feel. They’re good. They are capable of being good,” Little, Kansas University’s senior guard/forward, said with a smile. All player paranoia aside, the media actually agree with Little’s take on the Tigers (18-5, 4-4), who take a No. 14 national ranking in the AP poll — the media poll — heading into today’s 8 p.m. clash at No. 2 KU (22-1, 7-1).

Thing about Mizzou, however, is the Tigers have looked like a Final Four team at home MISSOURI (14-0), more like an NIT VS. KANSAS squad on the road (1-4 over- Records: Missouri all, 0-4 in Big 12 is 18-5, 4-4 Big 12; KU is 22-1, 7-1 action). “I think that’s Where: Allen true for the Fieldhouse most part with Tipoff: 8 tonight most teams across Ameri- TV: ESPN (cable ca,” KU coach channels 33, 233) Bill Self said, Line: KU by 11 asked about the difference in MU’s play home and road. “I don’t know details. They

really feed off their crowd. The thing is, I think they’ll get after us. I watched tape from the game last year (KU’s 84-65 victory in Allen Fieldhouse). We controlled it from the 10-minute mark on (leading 50-30 at half). But they gave us all kind of fits. We turned it over a ton (23 times). I anticipate getting a similar effort to what they give at home consistently in our building tomorrow.” The Tigers — who snapped a two-game losing streak (at Texas and Oklahoma State) by clubbing Colorado, 89-73, on Saturday at Mizzou Arena — have dropped 11 consecutive games in Allen Fieldhouse.

QB Brady unanimous MVP choice DALLAS (AP) — Here’s a Brady Bunch for NFL fans: Tom Brady got all 50 votes for MVP. The New England Patriots quarterback on Sunday became the first unanimous choice for the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award since the AP began using a nationwide panel of media members who cover the league. He surpassed himself, too: In 2007, when Brady won his first MVP, he got 49 votes; one voter went for Brett Favre. “It is always flattering to be chosen for such a prestigious award,” Brady said. “But I also look at it as

a team award, as nothing in football gets accomplished without the mental toughness and determination of every player and coach associated with that team. “I am very humbled to be a part of an organization where winning comes Brady f irst, and our goals are based around the success of the team.” Those successes, including three Super Bowl titles in the last

10 years, are in great part due to Brady’s excellence. Although he didn’t set nearly as many passing marks as in ’07, Brady by far was the league’s top performer in leading New England to a 14-2 record, best in the NFL. He had a record streak of 335 throws without being intercepted, and passed for 36 touchdowns with only four picks. Not that the 33-year-old Brady would compare this season’s Patriots to any others. “Every team every year is different,” he said, “and over the course of 100 practices and many games, a team establishes its identity.

COMMENTARY

VW crafts instant classic in Super ad By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times

For 364 days a year, we avoid commercials like an obnoxious relative. We make fridge runs while they’re on. We use our remotes to skip past them. Then, when the Super Bowl arrives, game’s off. Suddenly we’re gazing upon them with rapt attention. Sunday was no exception, even if the ads, which carried a price tag of up to $3 million, were eclipsed this year by the game for entertainment value. Let’s go to the highlight reel: Best use of the force: Even Yoda probably got a kick out of Volkswagen’s brilliant spot featuring a kid decked out in Darth Vader gear. This instant classic was a winning blend of humor and nostalgia, and our pint-size star was able to convey loads of personality without ever showing his face. Love it, we did. Best prelude to a high-tech brawl: Motorola picked a fight with Apple in the form of an ad inspired by the company’s iconic 1984 “Big Brother.” Hyping the Xoom tablet as a worthy challenger to the iPad, Motorola took on the role of an underdog trying to break the alleged conformity of the Apple world. The spot never mentioned Apple by name and would have benefitted from more emotional oomph. Unsportsmanlike conduct: We’re sorry, HomeAway.com, but smashing a baby’s face up against a window is just creepy — even if it’s a rubber “test baby.” Best tasty treat: Who knew Doritos dust was a drug? Yes, it’s so addictive, some crazy guy licks it off a co-worker’s hand. The ad pushes the “ew” factor, but it works because it also sensationalizes the oh-so-cheesy goodness of the product. Most epic production: A lot of spots go for the funny bone, but the Kia Optima went for the wow factor in a spot that featured, among other things, a giant sea creature and alien spacecraft. It felt more like a movie than a commercial. Bravo. Unnecessary roughness: We’re flagging Pepsi Max for excessive violence. In one spot, a woman got bonked on the noggin with a can, and in another, a guy takes one to his family jewels. What, were these ads penned by 12-year-old boys? Best use of a dragon: Coca-Cola scored points with a lavish spot in which an animated dragon changed his evil ways after guzzling a Coke. It had us wanting to do an end-zone dance. Coke scored again with a similarly-themed spot that had opposing border guards sharing a bottle. Worst use of primates: Usually, you can’t go wrong by stocking your commercials with chimps. But CareerBuilder has gone to this well too many times. Still, chimps in suits? Driving a car? ... OK, it made us smile. Best use of star power: Eminem did double duty, appearing in animated form for Brisk Iced Tea and uttering the word “damn” (Is that a first for a Super Bowl commercial?). He then appeared in traditional fleshy form for a Chrysler ad that also served as a booster shot for the city of Detroit. The second ad won, hands down. Worst use of a cowboy: For years, Budweiser ruled the Super Bowl ad bowl, but the company’s spots lacked that certain pizazz this time around. One had a cranky cowboy ready to shoot up a bar — until he got a Bud. Then he started singing “Tiny Dancer.” If you’ve seen the movie “Almost Famous,” you probably loved it. If not, it made little sense. To friend, or not to friend: Social media was big this year, and the Chevy Cruz touted its ability to allow drivers to check their Facebook status while behind the wheel. It sounded cool at first (A guy gets good news about a first date). But, on second thought, what if the news was bad? Would he run off the road?

Players change, schemes change, opponents change, which is why the game is so exciting year in and year out. “The fact that 32 teams start out each year with the same goal is why the popularity of the sport is at an all-time high. The great part about our sport is that nothing comes easy, and wherever you stand at the end of the year is the exact place that you deserve to be.” Individually, Brady stands above all others. The only Patriot to win the award, he and Peyton Manning, his rival for the NFL’s best quarterback, have split the last four MVPs.

Wilson ahead; Woodland not far back SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — Mark Wilson had a two-stroke lead in the Phoenix Open when play was suspended Sunday because of darkness. The tournament will conclude today. Wearing a yellow visor and green shirt in support of his beloved Packers, the Wisconsin player broke a tie with Tommy Gainey with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th. Gainey three-putted for a bogey on the hole. Wilson and Gainey were facing 20-foot birdie putts on the par-5 13th when they decided it was too dark to finish the hole. Wilson was 18 under. Gainey was tied for second with Vijay Singh and Jason Dufner. Singh shot a 66, while Dufner had four holes left. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland sat four strokes back at 14 under. He was on the 16th hole when play was suspended.

GOLF Bjorn wins Qatar Masters DOHA, QATAR — Thomas Bjorn of Denmark won the Qatar Masters on Sunday, shooting a bogey-free 3-under 69 to beat Alvaro Quiros of Spain by four shots. Bjorn led overnight and finished at 14-under 279 to earn his first win since the Estoril Open in Portugal last year. The Dane had three birdies in the final round, including one on No. 18 to capture his 11th European Tour title.

Tseng defends Australian crown MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Taiwan’s Yani Tseng successfully defended her Women’s Australian Open title, shooting a final-round 2under 71 Sunday to win by seven strokes. Tseng finished with a four-round total of 16under-par 276 on the par-73 Commonwealth Golf Club course.

NBA Daniels fully functional BOSTON — Boston Celtics guard Marquis Daniels bruised his spinal cord in a collision Sunday against Orlando and is expected to be sidelined at least a month. “He’s full function now. He’s fine,” said Danny Ainge, Boston’s president of basketball operations. “We’re going to keep him (in the hospital) overnight just to go through some tests, but he’s fine.” Asked how long Daniels would be out, Ainge said, “A month, two months. It’ll be a month, anyway.” Daniels was hurt Sunday after he collided with Gilbert Arenas on a drive to the basket. Daniels fell to the court and lay motionless for a few minutes with his head facing down while surrounded by coaches and teammates.

Haslem to take boot off Tuesday MIAMI — Heat forward Udonis Haslem says the walking boot protecting his surgically repaired left foot should be gone Tuesday, after which he can begin rehabilitation. Haslem has not played since Nov. 20. He had surgery to repair a ruptured ligament, was in a cast for several weeks, then the walking boot.

NFL Source: Jets likely to tag Harris DALLAS — Playmaking linebacker David Harris likely will have the franchise tag placed on him by the New York Jets, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press. Harris, voted the team MVP this season by his teammates, is due to become a free agent, but the Jets are leaning toward using the tag, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because the team had not announced the move. Harris had 99 tackles and three sacks in his fourth season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Team Texas defeats Team Nation SAN ANTONIO — Linebacker Eddie Jones tackled Damien Berry at the one-yard line on fourth down with 55 seconds to go, helping Team Texas hold on for a 13-7 victory over Team Nation in the NFLPA All-Star game Saturday. The game featured players eligible for the NFL Draft in April. Jones, who played college ball at Texas, ran in from the left side of the line to stop Berry, the Miami running back who scored on a 72yard run earlier in the game.

TENNIS Belgium beats U.S. in Fed Cup ANTWERP, BELGIUM — Australian Open winner Kim Clijsters came from behind to beat Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-7 (10), 6-2, 6-1 Sunday and lead Belgium to a 4-1 victory over the United States and a place in the semifinals of the Fed Cup World Group.

MLB Former pitcher Fryman dies EWING, KY. — Woodie Fryman, who pitched 18 seasons in the major leagues and was inducted into the Montreal Expos’ Hall of Fame in 1995, has died. He was 70.

BORDER WAR NOTEBOOK

Selby doubtful tonight ————

Freshman guard nursing stress reaction in right foot By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman guard Josh Selby, who missed Saturday’s game at Nebraska because of a stress reaction in his right foot, is listed as doubtful for today’s 8 p.m. home game against Missouri, coach Bill Self said Sunday. “He will not practice today. I think him not practicing today and having been off since basically Tuesday to me is not a great sign for a guy playing against a team like Missouri that gets after you like that,” Self said of the fullcourt-press- Selby ing Tigers. “Yesterday, he still experienced a little bit of discomfort, tenderness. Maybe it’s better 24 hours later, but I am not believing that it will probably be to the point I’m going to have total confidence putting him out there, so he’s probably doubtful.” Self reiterated that Selby could have played Saturday. “If he had to play, he could play right now,” Self said. “He could have played yesterday, but the thing about it is, I’d rather lose him for two games now even if its a 10-to-20-percent chance risk (of further damage in foot) than to lose him for four to five weeks. Our doctors are confident that this thing is calming down. They think he’s so much better in three days than what he was. They think he’ll be even better, just give it a little more time. “But this will be Josh’s call with the doctors on whether

or not he plays tomorrow. If he’s 100 percent pain-free when we do our shootaround tomorrow, then he’ll play. If he’s not, then I’ll sit him. I don’t think that’s anything that any coach wouldn’t do because this game is very, very important for a lot of people and a lot of reasons and certainly for all of us, but on the flip side, I don’t want to risk not having him during the teeth of the season when it’s most important.”

Brothers KU’s Selby and MU junior Kim English, who both are from Baltimore, are more than good friends. “Kim is like my big brother. Back home in Baltimore, we would always work out together. We’d go eat together and stuff like that, so he is like a big brother because he is older,” Selby said. Has he talked to English this week about the game? “We haven’t. I’m not sure we will,” Selby said. This marks Selby’s first KU-MU game. “My teammates said it is bigger than K-State, and KState was big. I can’t imagine how Missouri is going to be,” Selby said. Can’t wait Fifth-year senior Brady Morningstar, who is 7-1 versus MU, loves the Border War series. “C’mon, let’s go. Let’s play. Play tomorrow,” Morningstar said with a smile, after scoring 19 points in Saturday’s 86-66 victory at Nebraska. “It’ll be exciting. I know the fans are going to be rocking. The place will be packed. I’m excited.” Botched breaks KU junior Marcus Morris on the Jayhawks’ failure to

convert a lot of 2-on-1 and 3on-2 fastbreak opportunities lately. Those opportunities could be vital tonight, considering MU presses a lot. “Normally, the other team doesn’t want to get dunked on, so they take away the bigs, and the guards already have their minds set on getting it to the bigs,” Morris said. “I think we’ll get better at it.”

Jayhawks wary of Tigers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Why has MU struggled outside Columbia? “I have no idea,” KU junior Tyshawn Taylor said, “but, I mean, maybe it’s their press that hurts them sometimes. I know in the fieldhouse they don’t press us as much as they do when we play them there. They definitely take pride in pressing us and getting steals and scoring off turnovers. “I know it’s going to be a tough game. I know they are going to come in, press us and are going to play. We’re going to have to play hard,” Taylor added. The Tigers — who have been peppered with questions about the home/road discrepancy for weeks now — realize they’ll have to bring their A-plus game at this road venue today. “It’s just a mind-set, really,” said MU sophomore Michael Dixon, a graduate of Lee’s Summit (Mo.) West High who averages 10.4 points a game. “We’ve just got to take our home games to the road. We’re definitely going to have to do that coming up here in the near future. “For like two hours, you can’t really think, you’ve just got to play,” Dixon added. “When they get dunks and hit threes and stuff like that, it’s crazy. It’s the best atmosphere in college basketball, no doubt about it.” MU junior Kim English, who enters with a 10.8-point scoring average (he has made 44 of 111 threes for 39.6 percent), scored 21 points in Saturday’s home rout of CU. “It’s kind of easy to have energy at home,” English said. “You know one big play will get the crowd involved. Maturity has to come in. We have to take that same mentality on the road and we can do it.” He’d love to steal a victory in the fieldhouse. “Other than Mizzou Arena, it’s my favorite place to play,” English said of Allen. “It’s a great atmosphere. It’s an exciting game. It’s deafening for 40 minutes plus warmups. So we’re excited.

ONLINE ONLY ■ In the latest Conference Chatter blog, Eric Sorrentino explains how Kansas is the most balanced team in the country by a wide margin, according to one metric. Only on KUsports.com. “But like Phil (Pressey, 6.3 ppg average) said, it’s 5-on-5, three refs, two coaches, one ball. It’s basketball, just like it is at home or back on the playground. Fans don’t make free throws. They don’t steal the ball from you. It’s still us versus them.” Which brings us to the competitors … “They get the ball inside, and they share the ball,” MU’s Dixon said of the Jayhawk players. “What people don’t really know about them is they play real good team basketball. It’s not really a guy — besides Marcus Morris, who is playing pretty well — they don’t have a Sherron Collins or Mario Chalmers or Brandon Rush, nobody like that. They’re just a real good team. They move the ball well, and they get it inside and hit open jumpers and just know how to win. It’s tough to beat a team like that, especially at home. “We’ve got to make shots in there. Texas made shots in there (snapping KU’s 69game homecourt win streak, 74-63, on Jan. 22). Because you’re not going to get a call going to the basket or anything like that. So making shots and playing good defense and limiting them to one shot on offense (is key).” KU, of course, is wary of explosive Marcus Denmon, a 6-3 junior out of Kansas City Hogan Prep who averages 16.7 points per game off 49.1 percent shooting. He’s made 56 of 122 threes for 45.9 percent with 48 steals and 39 assists against 21 turnovers. “I’ve always liked his game going back to high school,” Self said. “He’s matured into a really, really good college player — for sure a first-team all-leaguer and the most

improved player in our league. He’s a model of consistency, which is something that every team needs.” Denmon has scored in double figures in 19 of MU’s last 20 games. “He has a quick release, can stretch it from three,” Self said. “If you crowd him, he’s plenty athletic with the ball, where he can go around you. He’s a guy that’s hard to guard, can score in so many ways.” Missouri as a team is known for stealing the ball in so many ways. MU has 229 thefts to its opponents’ 143. KU, by comparison, has 197 steals to its foes’ 138. “We’ve got to give Mizzou a lot of credit. They definitely speed you up without question the entire game,” KU’s Marcus Morris said, comparing the Tigers as “little gnats that won’t get out of your kitchen when you leave your dishes in there a long time. They won’t leave you alone. “But we have solid point guards, and if guards can get better in transition, I think they (Tigers) are going to have a long day because I can’t see them pressing us 40 minutes strong and keep turning it over that way.” KU senior Tyrel Reed called the Tigers’ pressing style, “frantic. I mean, they run and jump you the whole game trying to create turnovers. They’ve got a really athletic team that’s not really that big. They get after you. “The good thing is a lot of our guys have already played against them so we’re familiar with the style of play.” Noted senior Brady Morningstar, who figures to start his second straight game in place of Josh Selby (stress reaction right foot), who is listed as doubtful: “They’re good. They’re quick. They’re small. They’re fast. They like to run. But I think we like to do the same things.” Oh, yes ... the Tigers are one other thing. “They’re good,” Little said. — Assistant sports editor Gary Bedore can be reached at 832-7186.

COMMENTARY

Rodgers obvious MVP By Dan Pompei Chicago Tribune

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The difference between Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger in Super Bowl XLV was punishment. Rodgers gave it; Roethlisberger took it. Roethlisberger endured a barrage of body blows and a few roundhouses that could have staggered a horse. He kept getting up off the mat and answering the bell though. Rodgers waited for the Steelers to drop their hands. Waited, waited, waited. Then he calmly took advantage of openings and jabbed the Steelers into submission. Rodgers was the most valuable player in the most important game and a champion because he maintained his composure and never tried to do more than he was supposed to do in the Packers’ 31-25 victory over the Steelers. He completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns. “He played great,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We put everything on his shoulders. He did a lot at the line of scrimmage for us against a great defense. He did a hell of a job.” It’s no wonder this guy made Brett Favre nervous — Rodgers is the NFL’s new poster quarterback, the player every kid in every backyard in America will be imitating. He was as much a threat to Favre as he was to William Gay, the Steelers’ backup cornerback he beat for a pair of touchdowns. He’s the complete package, an NFL general manager’s dream and a dream for the marketing mavens on Madison Avenue. He has a great arm, a great smile and a great story. Rodgers completed a postseason in which he threw nine touchdown passes and had a passer rating of 92.9. “I struggled some in the last game,” Rodgers said of his uneven performance against the Bears in the NFC championship game. “Guys made some plays tonight. I felt in a better rhythm.” When Rodgers was needed most, he put the ball exactly where it needed to be. On a third-and-1 from the Pittsburgh 29 in the first quarter, Rodgers dropped a ball into Jordy Nelson’s basket for the first score of the game. Rodgers’ other first-half touchdown throw, a 21-yarder, also was a beauty, thrown just out of the grasp of Steelers safety Ryan Clark and precisely where only Greg Jennings could have caught it. Rodgers and Jennings hooked up again in the fourth quarter on an 8-yard TD that increased the Pack’s lead to 11. “Outstanding throw by Aaron,” Jennings said. Rodgers’ receivers didn’t always help him as much as they should have. Nelson dropped three catchable passes. On third-and-10 late in the third quarter, Brett Swain caught a pass for what could have been a 20-yard gain, but he dropped it as he was going to the ground. Rodgers might have had another touchdown if James Jones could have held onto a pass in the third quarter. Jones had beaten Gay and appeared to have a clear shot at the end zone when he dropped a perfect throw from Rodgers near midfield. On perhaps the most important play of the game, Roethlisberger was drilled in the shoulder by Packers defensive lineman Howard Green as he was throwing. The wounded duck he put up fluttered into the arms of Nick Collins, who brought it back 37 yards for a touchdown that gave the Packers a 14-0 lead. Roethlisberger rallied the Steelers, but ultimately they came up short, while Rodgers stood out on the biggest stage. “He’s the best quarterback in the game today,” receiver Donald Driver said of Rodgers, “and now he’s going to get his credit.”

Packers return to glory CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Few teams have been as resourceful as these Packers, who couldn’t wait to touch the trophy honoring their greatest coach — and their title. Several of them kissed it as Cowboys great Roger Staubach, walked through a line of green and gold, and up to the massive stage on the 50yard line. “Vince Lombardi is coming back to Green Bay,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said as the silver prize was handed to the team. After sitting for three seasons, Rodgers took the Packers to two late-season victories just to make the playoffs as a wild card. Then he guided them to wins at Philadelphia, Atlanta and archrival Chicago before his biggest achievement — against a Pittsburgh team ranked second in defense. They barely survived a sensational rally by the Steelers, who still own the most Super Bowl rings — six in eight tries. But Pittsburgh failed to get its third championship in six years, despite several valiant efforts by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger’s season began with a fourgame suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. It ended with Roethlisberger standing on the sideline, his head down, hands on his hips, feeling something he never experienced: defeat in a Super Bowl. “I feel like I let the city of Pittsburgh down, the fans, my coaches and my teammates and it’s not a good feeling,” said Roethlisberger, who later buried his head in a towel and wept. Not even a decidedly black-

and-gold crowd, with Terrible Towels swirling throughout the $1.2 billion stadium, could make a difference for the mistake-prone Steelers. Their two biggest defensive stars — Defensive Player of the Year safety Troy Polamalu and outside linebacker James Harrison — were virtually invisible. The offense didn’t seem to miss outstanding rookie center Maurkice Pouncey, who was out with an ankle injury, but Roethlisberger only occasionally made key plays until the second half.

The biggest plays were left to Rodgers, Nick Collins with a 37-yard interception return for a TD, Jennings, Nelson, and the rest of the guys in green and gold. In the end, they gave coach Mike McCarthy his f irst Super Bowl victory against the team he rooted for while growing up in Pittsburgh. Besides Lombardi, Mike Holmgren won a title in 1997 with Favre. “This is a great group of men here, a lot of character,” Rodgers said. “We went through a lot together.” Even on Sunday. Woodson went out late in the first half with a collarbone injury, a few plays after Driver was sidelined with an ankle problem. “It was very difficult to watch,” Woodson said, “but it feels good now.” Woodson saw the Steelers, who rallied from a 21-7 halftime hole against Baltimore three weeks ago, show the same resilience. A 37-yard catch and run by Antwaan Randle El — an almost forgotten figure during his return season with just 22 receptions — sparked a quick 77-yard drive. Hines Ward, the 2006 Super Bowl MVP, had 39 yards on three catches during the series, including an 8-yard TD when he completely fooled Jarrett Bush. A quick defensive stop and a 50-yard drive to Rashard Mendenhall’s 8-yard touchdown run made it 21-17. But with coach Mike Tomlin’s team driving for perhaps its f irst lead of the game, Mendenhall was stripped at the Green Bay 33 by Clay Matthews — one of the few plays the All-Pro linebacker made. The Packers recovered, and Rodgers hit Jennings for 8 yards and the winning points.

Pittsburgh’s last gasp was on a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace and a brilliant pitchout by Roethlisberger to Randle El for a 2point conversion. Mason Crosby added a 23yard field goal for the Packers and the Steelers had no more comebacks in them. “You play to be world champions,” Matthews said, “and that’s what we are today.” The game capped an interesting weather week in Dallas for the teams and fans alike. Snow and ice caused traffic snarls, canceled flights and caused injuries to six people when it fell from the roof of the stadium. Sunny skies and milder temperatures returned Sunday, but issues arose with seats at the game. A total of 1,250 temporary seats were considered unsafe hours before kickoff. Even while the teams were warming up on the field, workers were trying to fix the problems — many involving seats carrying pricetags of $800 and up. About 400 people with tickets couldn’t be seated inside the stadium and the league offered refunds of triple the ticket price. At least the Packers and Steelers put on a terrific show after Christina Aguilera botched the lyrics to the national anthem. Rodgers hit Nelson in stride with a long pass on Green Bay’s f irst series, but the wideout let it slide through his hands. The Pack had discovered something, though, and went back to that play for the first touchdown. Nelson beat William Gay and held on for a 7-0 lead; the Packers have scored first in all five Super Bowl appearances.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — In their zeal to set a Super Bowl attendance record, the NFL and Jerry Jones overlooked one important detail: Making sure all the temporary seats inside mammoth Cowboys Stadium had been inspected and were ready for the fans. A week plagued by poor weather took an embarrassing turn Sunday when the league had to find replacement seats for 850 fans. The NFL also scrambled to find a place for another 400 people to sit inside Jones’ $1 . 2 billion palace and couldn’t find any with a view of the field. “This is absolutely ridiculous,” said Glen Long, a Pittsburgh Steelers season-ticket holder who flew in for the game from Baltimore. “That would be fraud anywhere in the world if you sold tickets to an event that you knew you didn’t have. That’s just wrong.” Actually, the seats had been installed in six temporary sections, but they went up so late that the fire marshal didn’t have time to inspect them, according to a police officer standing near an affected area who wouldn’t give his name and an explanation of the situation provided to several fans. The officer said the winter storms that struck Dallas earlier had set back work on the temporary seats. That didn’t matter to fans who felt they had been deceived by the league and Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner who had hoped some 105,000 people would watch the game inside and outside the stadium. To bolster the crowd, there were $200 tickets that provided nothing more than a chance to watch the game on video screens set up in outdoor plazas. That didn’t work out, either: Attendance was announced at 103,219, just short of the record 103,985 who turned out at the Rose Bowl for the 1980 Super Bowl. As for those 400 fans, not even a hefty refund offer from the NFL was enough to satisfy them for losing their seats. The league said it would pay back triple the face value — $2,400 for the $800 tickets. “We don’t want that,” said Odett Karam, a Green Bay Packers fan who flew in from California. “We just want to get into the game. We just want to see the game.” The NFL said 850 fans were put in “similar or better seats.” As for the rest, the NFL first offered to let the fans watch the game in the outdoor plazas. Then, shortly after kickoff, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said they had been allowed into the field-level club behind the Pittsburgh Steelers bench, where they could watch the game on monitors. If they wanted to see the game in person, they had to use standing-room platforms in each corner of Cowboys Stadium.

Steelers’ response: ‘Sorry’ A R L I N G T O N , T E X A S ( AP ) — Troy Polamalu whiffed on a tackle. James Harrison was nearly invisible. Not the way the Pittsburgh Steelers drew this one up. Pittsburgh’s big-play, hardhitting defensive leaders were nowhere to be found when the Steelers needed them most as Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay’s offense led the Packers to a 31-25 victory Sunday night. “It’s incredibly humbling,” Polamalu said. “Toughest loss I’ve ever had in my life.” Harrison stood in front of his locker, his head down and his voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t feel anything but pain,” he said. And that from a guy who’s used to dishing it out. “I just feel frustration, anger,” Harrison said. “We just lost a Super Bowl. How the hell do you think I feel?” He let the fans know, going on Twitter shortly after the game and typing out one simple word: “Sorry.”

That pretty much summed things up for the Steelers defense, which isn’t used to having to explain how they couldn’t get the job done. “They were hitting the big plays downfield,” linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. “We let them out of third-down situations. When you let a team like that out of third-down situations, you lose the game like we did tonight.” The Packers were 6-for-13 on third down, including a 29yard touchdown catch by Jordy Nelson that put Green Bay up, 7-0. “We weren’t able to get any turnovers on defense,” Polamalu. “That was the difference.” Polamalu was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, but was anything but the impact player who helped get the Steelers to this point. He had a chance to make a big play early, but delivered only a glancing blow on James Starks.

Polamalu delivered his biggest hit the very next play — as Greg Jennings caught a 21-yard touchdown pass. “I had some opportunities to make some plays,” Polamalu said. “I was just off a step here or there.” Harrison had a sack, but made most of his noise with his mouth during the week while criticizing the NFL. He didn’t have much to say after this performance, though. “I mean, everybody is probably going through a little bit of, ‘If I had done this, or what if I had done that?”’ Harrison said. “I guess everything happens for a reason. I don’t know what that one is right now.” It wasn’t just Polamalu and Harrison to blame, of course. The Steelers’ suspect secondary gave up several big plays as the Packers, even without the injured Donald Driver for Lynne Sladky/AP Photo most of the game, took aim at Bryant McFadden, William PITTSBURGH QB BEN ROETHLISBERGER walks off the field at Gay and the rest of Pitts- the end of Sunday’s Super Bowl, which the Steelers lost, 3125, Sunday in Arlington, Texas. burgh’s defensive backs.

MIAMI GUARD AND FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY STANDOUT MARIO CHALMERS (15) GOES up for a shot against Los Angeles guard Baron Davis. The Heat cruised past the Clippers, 97-79, on Sunday in Miami.

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Heat 97, Clippers 79 MIAMI — Blake Griffin’s first dunk of the day was a wakeup call. For the Miami Heat, anyway. Dwyane Wade had 28 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and the Heat stretched their winning streak to six games Sunday afternoon with a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Chris Bosh scored 16, Eddie House added 15, and LeBron James had 12 points for Miami. The Heat started the fourth quarter on an 18-4 burst to pull away. Griffin had his 42nd double-double for the season, finishing with 21 points and 16 rebounds. Randy Foye scored 15, Baron Davis added 14, and Ryan Gomes added 12 for Los Angeles, which fell to 3-17 away from home — not the best of signs for a team now two outings in to what will become an 11-game road trip by the end of the month. The Clippers shot 32.5 percent in a game that ended around brunch time in Los Angeles — 11:42 a.m. Pacific time, to be precise. Miami led by 16 early, held a 15-point lead in the third, but found themselves only up nine early in the fourth quarter. Consecutive jumpers by House, the last a three-pointer, quickly pushed the margin to 75-61 with 10:09 remaining. The Clippers missed their first 10 shots of the fourth, not getting on the scoreboard for the quarter until 7:31 was left to play. House left his mark on the Clippers in the fourth. He fouled Griffin on a fast break with 7:08 left, sending the presumptive rookie of the year sliding into the basket support. “Barely pushed him,” James insisted to his longtime manager, Maverick Carter.

ELEGANT DINING by Maurice Howard

Dear Nitpicky: Dave of going into debt. Since he violated the terms of the rec- Blanchette at the Abraham onciliation, insist he go back Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, to counseling. Ill., backs up your facts. He Dear Annie: “Kay in Indy” also said that after the Linused Mary Todd Lincoln as colns’ first two sons were an example of women keep- born, referred to Mary as ing their maiden names as “Mother,” but she always middle names. Mary Lincoln called him “Mr. Lincoln” (a referred to herself and signed type of address not uncomher letters as “Mary Lincoln.” mon in the 19th century). Lincoln biographers refer to her as “Mary Todd Lincoln,” — Please e-mail your questions but she herself never did. — anniesmailbox@creators.com to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Nitpicky in the Land of Linwrite to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box Don doesn’t seem to get that coln 118190 Chicago, IL 60611. this is an absolute betrayal of my trust. He whined that he doesn’t like having to ask permission to buy something. This is not about permission. It’s about being honest. Don lies about everything, even when there’s no reason. Can you explain to him why this upsets me? — Disrespected Wife ACROSS

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Wife: Someone who has spent his life lying to others may not only find it difficult to stop, but might not grasp how honesty works. Marriage is a partnership. Purchases that affect the family bank account should be discussed because that’s what partners do. Someone with Don’s credit history is especially vulnerable to impulse buys and should get a second opinion to reduce the chances

‘Chicago Code’ not deep dish Cops and corruption loom large in “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox), a new police drama created by Shawn Ryan, a producer behind “The Shield.” Jennifer Beals stars as Teresa Colvin, the city’s first female police superintendent. She’s determined to take on the city’s notorious corruption, and that puts her at odds with powerful politician Ronin Gibbons (Delroy Lindo), a real estate tycoon turned city alderman, a man more powerful than the mayor. Legendary officer Jarek Wysocki (Jason Clarke) has his doubts about Colvin’s noble efforts, but certain events change his mind. In addition to his decorations and reputation, Wysocki has a thing about officers using profanity and goes through new partners on a weekly basis. This allows “Code” to trade in some cliche buddy-cop banter localized to reflect the tension between fans of the Cubs or White Sox. Beals’ flat Chicago accent seems to come and go like a not-so-prevailing wind. In contrast, Lindo brings a certain oily gravitas to his role as the corrupt fixer. Not so much bad as less-thancompelling, “Code” hews much closer to “Blue Bloods” than “The Shield.” ● The documentary “Reagan” (8 p.m., HBO) takes a warts-and-all look at the 40th president and examines Ronald Reagan’s life, political career and posthumous ascent into mythic status. Like many important figures, Reagan appears to be in the eye of the beholder. Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki interviews many Reagan biographers and members of his administration. But the most telling observations come from the president’s two sons. Michael Reagan, a radio talk show host, has devoted years to his father’s legacy and is seen leading tour groups to Reagan sites and extolling his heroic virtues. Ron Reagan Jr. has recently released a book about his father and has tried to understand a man whom even admirers describe as emotionally opaque. The president’s namesake and several biographers describe a young man raised by an alcoholic father, who tended to filter out the negative and fix on the virtuous. He became a lifesaver, radio announcer, actor, corporate spokesperson and politician driven by the desire to make things right, to save people and take on the bad guys. Efforts to separate the man from his performance have stymied opponents, pundits and biographers for decades. And no one can deny that Reagan appealed to his greatest audience, the American voters. ● The network that brought you cupcake shops, toddler pageants and cake bosses looks at the world of balloon art on “The Unpoppables” (7 p.m., TLC). ● Hosted by Niecy Nash all week, “Way Black When” (9 p.m., TV One) looks at the pop culture of the 1980s.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Cuddy’s mother (Candice Bergen) needs a doctor but refuses to consult House on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Fleming tries to unmask “The Cape” (8 p.m., NBC). Chad Lindberg (“I Spit on Your Grave”) guest stars. ● After Junior fires him for insubordination, Odie goes to Senior for advice on “American Chopper” (8 p.m., Discovery). ● A witness vanishes on “Hawaii FiveO” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Malcolm and Tommy seem too close on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Winning the lottery can be murder on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Feb. 7: This year, you will communicate your issues and ideas in a dynamic manner so that others hear you loud and clear. If you are single, you will need to sort through your many admirers with an eye to the type of bond you desire. If you are attached, the two of you discover a newfound appreciation for each other. Aries brings out the best in you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Charging ahead is one of your innate, "I feel good" responses.

Others easily could go to extremes. Tonight: Be with the one you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ A must appearance carries a lot of weight. Pressure builds because of a key group of associates and friends taking a stand. Tonight: Could be late. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Keep stretching in order to grasp more of what others think and where they are coming from. Once you can empathize and walk in their shoes, discussions will become easier. Tonight: Take in a new place. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Relate to others directly. You'll gain unusual clarity and support. Understanding evolves between you and those you deal with directly. Tonight: Gather your bills. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You could be making situations far more difficult than need be. How you handle a partner could change, especially as you might feel strongly. Tonight: Defer to another person's desires. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Your pace could be a little more hectic than you originally visualized. Communication proves to be active, with personal aspects of your

Dear Annie: My husband, “Don,” is a recovering alcoholic. Last year, I discovered that he had a balance of $27,000 in credit card purchases for expensive watches, tool machines and alcohol. This nearly destroyed our 15year marriage. Ten years ago, Don relapsed with alcohol and stole my prescription pain medications. He has a history of lying, so the discovery that he was actively drinking again equaled the enormity of the credit card balance. I felt so betrayed by his deceit that we separated for a few months. During this time, he entered an outpatient treatment center and saw a counselor on a weekly basis. One of the conditions of reconciliation specified that he discuss with me any large purchases beforehand so we could be on the same page about how it would be financed. Today, a 20-inch computer monitor was delivered to our house. When I asked Don why he bought such a nice monitor for our dinosaur computer, he confessed that he had actually purchased a brand-new computer. I was stunned. He claims he was afraid I would say no, but, Annie, I have never refused any of his requests when he’s discussed them with me first, and our computer needed replacing.

No. 1 Ohio State 82, No. 18 Minnesota 69 M I N N E A P O L I S — Jared Sullinger and still-unbeaten Ohio State didn’t back down or let up. Another unflappable performance by the 6-foot-9, 280pound freshman left Minnesota coach Tubby Smith wondering what happened to his big men — and planning more time for his team in the weight room. David Lighty scored 19 points, Sullinger had 18 points and 13 rebounds, William Buford and Jon Diebler made three three-pointers apiece, and the top-ranked Buckeyes beat Minnesota on Sunday. “You can see the difference in experienced, physical players: They just kind of shoved us out of the way,” Smith said. Every starter for Ohio State (24-0, 11-0 Big Ten) scored 10 or more points to help stretch the second-longest winning streak in school history, creeping toward the record of 32. Buford added 15 points, four assists, four rebounds and two steals, and the Buckeyes checked another opponent off the list in this most-challenging month. Up next is a trip to No. 19 Wisconsin on Saturday. OHIO ST.

No. 19 Wisconsin 82, Michigan State 56 MADISON, WIS. — Jordan Taylor scored 30 points to lead Wisconsin in a pounding of Michigan State, the Spartans’ fifth loss in six games. The loss was just short of the Spartans’ worst ever to the Badgers, a 27-point defeat in 1972, and comes on the heels of a 20-point loss to last-place Iowa. Wisconsin shot 59 percent from the field for the game, including 11-of-17 from threepoint range. One month ago in East Lansing, the Badgers (17-5, 7-3 Big Ten) had a nine-point lead with 2:37 to play. But they collapsed down the stretch as Michigan State (13-10, 5-6) forced overtime and went on to the win. Wisconsin was in control of Sunday’s game from the start and never let up. The Badgers led, 43-25 at halftime, after shooting 65 percent from the field. They led by as many as 33 points in the second half. as Taylor turned in a dominating performance. Twice during a 14-2 first half run that gave Wisconsin its first double-digit lead of the game, Taylor took the ball into the lane and converted tough layups in traffic. A third time, he drew a foul and converted both free throws.

No. 23 North Carolina 89, Florida St. 69 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Freshman Kendall Marshall had nine points and a season-high 16 assists to help North Carolina beat Florida State. Fellow rookie Harrison Barnes scored 17 points to lead the Tar Heels (17-5, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who led almost the entire way and ripped through the Seminoles’ stingy defense to win for the 10th time in 11 games. North Carolina’s 89 points and 56 percent shooting were the most allowed by the Seminoles (16-7, 6-3) this season, as the Tar Heels led by nine points at halftime and by double figures almost the entire second half.

S T I L L W A T E R , O K L A . ( AP ) — When opponents decide to load up inside against preseason All-American Brittney Griner, top-ranked Baylor now has a way to relieve the pressure. Get the ball to Destiny Williams. Griner scored 19 points, and Williams had her second big game in a row with 17 points, leading the Bears (21-1, 8-0 Big 12) past Oklahoma State, 8457, Sunday to achieve the best start to a season in school history. The Cowgirls (13-8, 1-7) decided to bear down on Griner, but that just left more room for Williams to hurt them with mid-range jumpers. She followed a career-high 19 points in her last game by going 6-for-8 in this one, giving the alreadyloaded Bears just one more weapon. “Destiny is a post player that faces the basket well, has a great touch on the ball. When things are collapsing on Griner down there, she’s going to get those looks,” coach Kim Mulkey said.
