KU falls in first full game without Davis After losing leading scorer and All Big 12 candidate Carolyn Davis to a serious knee injury, the KU women fell short at Iowa State on Wednesday, losing 6647. Senior Aishah Sutherland stepped up her game, scoring 19 points, but the Jayhawks couldn’t keep up with the Cyclones, who hit 60 percent from the field in the second half. Page 1B

Journalists talk college sports scandals ————

Writers examine how recent athletics stories are being covered

The Penn State University scandal involving sexual abuse. Numerous NCAA violations against the Ohio State University football program. A two-year-long ticket scandal at Kansas University.

It’s a rough time for college athletics.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a year with as much upheaval in college sports,” said CBSSports. com reporter Dennis Dodd on Wednesday during a three-person panel discussion at the Kansas Union.

“

I don’t think there’s ever been a year with as much upheaval in college sports.”

— CBSSports.com reporter Dennis Dodd Dodd was joined by USA Today reporter Steve Wieberg and Kansas City Star sports reporter Blair Kerkhoff at “The Media and BigTime College Athletics: The View from the Sports Desk.” The event was organized by the Ecumenical Campus Ministries as part of a semester-long forum on higher education and athletics. Max Utsler, KU journalism professor, moderated the discussion.

The three veteran sports reporters tackled a wide variety issues that have affected college athletics the past couple of years — everything from college football realignment to the changing sports reporting landscape.

Kerkhoff said sports reporters’ jobs have changed considerably as anyone with a computer can tweet constant updates; they’re forced to fight off rumors as much as they’re tasked with reporting the news.

“It’s the explosion of the media,” Kerkhoff said, citing the Big 12 realignment discussions where “there was as much misinformation as there was information.”

TOPEKA — The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved the proposed higher education budget, but several members vowed some of the spending decisions would be re-examined.

The overall post-secondary budget proposal would total $768.8 million in state revenue for the fiscal year that starts July 1. That represents a 4.4 percent increase from current spending.

Conservative Republicans questioned several itemized spend- LEGISLATURE ing increases endorsed by Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican.

These included a $3 million increase to Kansas University to hire internationally known professors; $5 million for a preparation fund for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility; and a $5 million increase to Kansas State for its veterinary college.

Democrats rose to defend Brownback’s requests for more funding.

KU wants $3 million to hire high-profile professors, in part to help the school retain its membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities.

But Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, said the budget request “struck me as odd.” He asked if KU wasn’t already hiring top professors. Brown said he wanted to see more details on the plan.

CHUCK FISHER, a 38-year Audio Reader volunteer, is pictured on Feb. 6 inside a studio.

Fisher, who grew up in Lawrence, says he used to read to his grandfather on weekends when he was in high school. “I guess I’m still reading for him in some way,” Fisher said.

Sometimes, when Chuck Fisher gets up at night, he takes the opportunity to practice an exercise that helps him connect with the visually impaired people he reads to every week as a volunteer for the Kansas Audio-Reader Network.

“I close my eyes and try to get back to bed, and I picture myself in the place where I was blind and not able to see the light of day,” he says.

An avid reader who has always taught himself to do new things by reading about them, Fisher imagines that if he lost his ability to read, he would feel very isolated. It’s a feeling he doesn’t want anyone to have. That’s why he’s spent nearly 40 years volunteering for Audio-Reader, reading the Lawrence JournalWorld live to listeners every Monday morning.

KCC to study Westar’s shareholder return

TOPEKA (AP) — Westar Energy’s contention that it needs at least a 10 percent shareholder return as part of a rate increase drew skeptical questions during two days of testimony before the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Kansas’ largest utility would get a $50 million rate hike, including a return for shareholders of 10 percent of company revenue, if the KCC approves a settlement reached between Westar, the KCC staff and the company’s large commercial and industrial customers.

Commissioner Ward Loyd and Chairman Mike Sievers on Tuesday pressed the commission’s chief rate analyst on how much Westar needs to attract investments necessary to keep the utility profitable, The Wichita Eagle reported.

That came after Westar chief executive Mark Ruelle testified Monday that nothing less than 10 percent would keep the utility competitive with other utilities. He said other Midwest utilities whose rates have been set in the past 13 months got more than 10 percent.

However, the commissions’ managing financial analyst, Adam Gatewood, testified that a return below

10 percent would not cause dire consequences or raise capital costs for Westar.

“I do disagree with the (Westar) view that 10 percent is a bright line we have to never touch,” said Gatewood, whose analysis put an acceptable return anywhere between 9 and 10 percent. He recommended 9.5 percent.

The Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board is challenging the proposed settlement, saying it is not fair to residential and small-business utility consumers. If approved the settlement would raise residential rates between 5 and 6.5 percent.

The commissioners could accept the settlement, make changes to it, or throw it out and set the rates themselves. The commission is required to set Westar’s new rates by April 23.

Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig said the company believes anything less than a 10 percent return could discourage investors and reduce Westar’s stock price, particularly when compared with other utilities.

“If you start to fall noticeably below the pack, it’s going to raise some eyebrows,” she said.

from hometown newspapers to national magazines to books and even special requests, such as textbooks or instruction manuals.

Fisher knows how valuable this service is to listeners. His grandfather, who was visually impaired, was unable to read his local newspaper.

“I saw that what he was not gaining from listening to the news was the area news — obituaries and weather forecasts,” Fisher says.

So when he sits in front of the microphone every Monday morning and selects the stories he will read, he is mindful that he must give his listeners the news they may not get anywhere else.

Fisher has been volunteering for Audio-Reader since 1974, just a few years after the service was founded in 1971. The secret to achieving such longevity as a volunteer, he says, is to find a volunteer opportunity that fits you well. Through the years, Fisher has served the community as a longtime businessman, as a city commissioner and as a member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

But it’s the Monday morning gig, comfortably reading the day’s news to a host of friends he’ll likely never meet, that still fits Fisher well.

“What keeps you going is sometimes somebody will mention your name, and say, ‘I heard you on the radio,’ and you know that people are listening and enjoying it.”

Brown also questioned Brownback’s proposal to add $5 million for a preparation fund for NBAF, the biosecurity lab proposed to be built in Manhattan. Brown and several others on the committee asked if the anBrownback nouncement earlier this week that President Barack Obama’s budget did not include funding for NBAF should affect the state appropriation.

But other committee members said the state needed to appropriate the funds because it was part of the state’s package to win NBAF. Removing that appropriation “would send a bad signal to the rest of the United States,” said Rep. Sharon Schwartz, RWashington.

But Brown said if the project doesn’t get built, the money should be put into something else.

Rep. Virgil Peck, RTyro, questioned Brownback’s proposal to increase funding to the K-State veterinary school. Supporters of the proposal said Brownback wants to see the veterinary school rise in national rankings.

Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said the committee would probably debate these issues again, in addition to one brought up

But much of the discussion centered on recent college sports scandals and how the affected universities reacted.

After the discussion, Wieberg discussed some of the positive aspects of recent high-profile incidents and said there’s even some good that came from the KU ticket scandal.

“It created changes,”

he said. “It created safeguards.”

Wieberg, whose recent reporting focus has been the Penn State scandal, said such events in sports also invite opportunities for those in the sports world to confront topics they’re uncomfortable with or know little about.

The Penn State events “created a national conversation, a national dialogue,” he said. “It created a whole new sensitivity to the issue of child abuse.”

BRIEFLY Plan to attract more Mo. students OK’d TOPEKA — The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday approved a proposal by Kansas University to expand the Metro KC Tuition Waiver BOARD OF REGENTS on the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.

Under the measure, starting next fall students in an 11-county area in Missouri will pay the same per credit hour rate that Kansas students pay on the Edwards Campus.

Currently, the tuition break applies to students from only four counties, and undergraduates from Missouri get a discounted rate but still pay more than Kansas residents.

The 11 counties are Clay, Cass, Jackson, Platte, Buchanan, Clinton, Ray, Lafayette, Johnson, Henry and Bates.

Doctor to chat about new practice Dr. Ryan Neuhofel will be available today to discuss his new family practice in Lawrence.

Neuhofel is unique in that he doesn’t accept health insurance or third-party plans; instead he charges fees for services. He’s even willing to barter.

Among other charges:

$20 — 15-minute office visit.

$50 — nurse home visit.

Hundreds criticize governor, Kobach at rally

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — More than 300 people on Wednesday converged on the Statehouse to protest the policies of Gov. Sam Brownback, Secretary of State Kris Kobach and the influence of the American Legislative Exchange Council on the Kansas Legislature.

“We want the governor to know he needs to put Kansans first,” said Tamara Werth, of Lawrence, Brownback one of the cofounders of Kansans United in Voice and Spirit, which organized the rally along with several other groups.

Those at the event criticized Brownback’s tax overhaul, which would increase taxes on low-income Kansans while cutting taxes for wealthy Kansans and businesses. They also blasted his school finance plan as creating more funding inequities between rich and poor school districts. BrownPlease see RALLY, page 4A

SOUND OFF

Q:

County Road 5 north of Tonganoxie has been closed for about a year.

When it will reopen?

A:

The road northeast of Tonganoxie is scheduled to reopen in May, Leavenworth County public works director Mike Spickelmier said. It’s been closed since May 2011, when the county began work on replacing two bridges over Stranger Creek, both more than 70 years old. The county’s contractor has stopped work on the project for the winter, but it will resume in the spring when there’s no risk of freezing temperatures, which can damage newly poured concrete, Spickelmier said.

LMH board approves new cardiopulmonary lab

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Judge declines to dismiss robbery case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Board of Trustees approved plans Wednesday to open a cardiopulmonary laboratory to provide specialized testing for patients suffering shortness of breath because of a heart or lung problem.

The 1,200-square-foot lab is scheduled to open in October on the ground level of the Fourth Street Health Plaza, next to the anti-coagulation clinic.

Startup costs are estimated to be $235,000.

Dr. Charles Yockey, pulmonary specialist at LMH, said the lab will enable the hospital to test more patients who suffer from acute and chronic illnesses, such as interstitial lung disease, asthma, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, because there will be more space, equipment and staff.

LMH now has one technician and one piece of equipment to provide such testing in the respiratory department. In 2011, it provided 1,214 tests.

Yockey said testing can help provide a diagnosis as well as determine disability, progression of disease and effectiveness of therapy.

“National experts have felt for years that pulmonary function testing is horribly underutilized.

COPD PROGRAM Dr. Charles Yockey, a pulmonary specialist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, will present a program about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. It will be from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. March 8 in LMH’s auditorium, 325 Maine.

He will discuss the challenges of difficulty in breathing and review strategies to decrease shortness of breath, including smoking cessation, weight loss and exercise. He also will talk about the management of COPD exacerbation episodes, including the recommended medications for symptom relief.

The program is free, but advanced registration is requested and can be done by calling 749-5800 or visiting lmh.org.

Some estimate there are 14 million undiagnosed COPD patients in the U.S.,” he said. “If you can find them early, then maybe you can prevent progression and hospitalizations.”

In addition to taking care of more patients, LMH also will be able to provide testing that’s currently not available such as a metabolic stress test

that involves exercising on a treadmill or stationary cycle while being closely monitored. It measures performance of the heart and lungs while under physical stress.

Karen Shumate, chief operating officer, said the hospital will be filling a service gap in the Lawrence area.

“It will provide cardiopulmonary testing that is not currently available in the community that patients are having to go out of town for,” she said.

Yockey added that the need for such services is expected to increase as the population grows older.

“Estimates are that by 2020, two out of three people will be in the hospital because of their lungs,” he said.

LMH estimates that the lab will provide a net profit of $167,000 in 2013 and that by 2017 it will grow 147 percent to $413,000. The hospital reinvests profits back into the hospital.

In Douglas County, LMH estimates there currently are:

2,300 — people diagnosed with emphysema.

7,000 — with chronic bronchitis.

14,600 — with asthma.

36,900 — with cardiovascular disease.

A Douglas County judge Wednesday declined to dismiss a Lawrence robbery case Wednesday after defense attorneys accused prosecutors of coercing a juvenile defendant who has been adjudicated in the case.

Defense attorneys Branden Smith and John Kerns, during a fourhour hearing, pointed to a December courtroom exchange between Deborah Moody, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, and the mother of the juvenile defendant, who is a witness in the case against their clients Dustin A. Smith, 24, and Mikael Englund, 23, both of Richmond.

Prosecutors accuse Englund of robbing a Lawrence man at his home in the 800 block of Hilltop Drive twice — once in late January 2011 or early February 2011 and on March 14, 2011. Dustin Smith is accused of participating in the March 14 robbery with Englund and the juvenile.

The defense attorneys argued Moody was upset after the juvenile’s testimony at a December preliminary hearing because it did not match an earlier statement he gave to Lawrence police, and prosecutors had told the boy’s mother he could face per-

Before the Statehouse event, more than 100 people protested outside Kobach’s office.

Kobach is a former law professor who helped draft tough immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona and successfully pushed for the law in Kansas to require photo ID to vote.

He is currently asking the Legislature to adopt proof of citizenship requirements for new voter registration. Kobach has said the laws are needed to prevent voter fraud and illegal immigrants from voting.

LMH has budgeted a net income of $10 million for this year.

“We continue to be

concerned about the level of bad debt and charity care and very concerned with the proposed 2013 federal budget that calls for significant reduction in Medicare payments,” Meyer said.

He said the hospital also is unsure how the state’s plan to privatize Medicaid will affect it. Medicaid patients make up about 9 percent of its patient volume.

“I don’t know how it’s all going to shake out. It’s going to be real interesting,” Meyer said.

But Marie Johnson, of Salina, and a member of the NAACP, said Kobach’s initiatives will lower turnout by making it more difficult for people to register and to vote.

Protesters also filed Open Records requests for Kobach’s schedules because they said he spends a lot of time on issues outside of Kansas. Kobach has said he works on immigration issues in other states in his spare time.

Several speakers criticized the Legislature for approving bills proposed by the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council.

State Rep. Ann Mah, DTopeka, said numerous ALEC measures were advancing in the Legislature.

“It’s not that they are probusiness. They are antiworker, anti-people,” she said of the ALEC proposals.

Mah said she went to the rally because of her

opposition to Kobach’s voter registration plan, which if approved would take effect June 15.

Mah said thousands of Kansans will face obstacles in registering and voting because they can’t locate their birth certificate or don’t have a government ID. Those at the rally braved chilly, drizzly weather as the wind picked up. Several buses came from Wichita carrying members of various groups, including Kansans Count, which works on voting rights and other issues.

Will Katz, of Lawrence, sang a song to the crowd entitled “Welcome to Brownbackistan.”

And many people in the crowd carried signs that read: “We Want Democracy,” “No Hate in Our State,” and “ALEC Is Not Your Friend.”

Two people were taken to the hospital after an accident Wednesday morning north of Lawrence in Jefferson County, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

According to the accident report, at 11:12 a.m. on U.S. Highway 24-59, Maria L. Gilbert, 26, of Leavenworth, attempted to pass another westbound vehicle that was making a left turn at the Douglas County line.

The vehicles collided and

then entered a ditch nearby.

Gilbert and one passenger, James Walls, 22, of Leavenworth, were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, according to the report.

Walls was treated and released, an LMH spokeswoman said. Information about Gilbert’s condition was not available.

No one else was taken to the hospital, including the driver of the turning vehicle, James Blair, 53, of Independence, Mo.

There were no incidents to report Wednesday.

jury charges if he didn’t change his testimony at trial.

“With the continued coercion, there’s no way that Dustin Smith can have a fair trial,” Branden Smith argued.

District Judge Paula Martin said she didn’t condone Moody’s behavior with the juvenile’s mother, but she said the boy’s mother testified Wednesday she had contacted defense attorneys and was communicating advice to her son that if he lied in court he could face perjury charges.

“There isn’t any evidence that the state communicated any threats to (the juvenile) directly or through his mother,” Martin said.

James McCabria, another assistant district attorney, said in court Moody’s reaction to the juvenile’s mother in December was “unprofessional” and Moody called and apologized the next day. He also said witnesses who testified Wednesday, including the boy’s mother, did not indicate prosecutors threatened the juvenile with perjury charges.

Dustin Smith has a trial in the case scheduled for Feb. 27. Englund’s trial is scheduled for April 2.

Explosives found in truck near Statehouse

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Several homemade bombs were found Wednesday in a pickup truck parked near the Kansas Statehouse that had specialty license plates issued only to U.S. military paratroopers, and police said they arrested the owner inside an underground tunnel connecting the Capitol to an office building.

Capitol Police spokesman Patrick Saleh said the incident was not connected to another arrest Wednesday of a man who allegedly phoned in a threat to Gov. Sam Brownback’s office from a Topeka motel.

“Neither one of them

was armed, and neither of them offered any resistance,” Saleh said.

Saleh said officers went to investigate the pickup after receiving a call from a state employee about it being parked in a restricted lot outside the Kansas Judicial Center, south of the Statehouse, without the normal state worker tag. An officer saw suspicious objects inside, including an empty gun holster, and authorities called in the Topeka Police Department’s bomb squad.

Saleh said the homemade explosives were made with household materials and designed to spray shrapnel once they were detonated.

He didn’t have further details but called them “actual explosives.”

But, he added, “Everybody in the building was safe.”

Officers arrested the pickup’s owner inside the tunnel used by legislators, state officials, lobbyists and citizens to go between the Statehouse and a building that houses state agencies and legislators’ offices and where legislative committee meetings are held. Saleh said the man claimed to have an appointment in the office building, but none was verified. Saleh didn’t have information about the man’s identity.

The man was being questioned by agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, Saleh said.

The discovery of the

pickup truck led authorities to temporarily block traffic and access to the parking lot. The black Ford with no hood and a beatup front grill, remained in the Judicial Center parking lot Wednesday afternoon, set off by a police car and orange cones.

The truck had a specialty Florida license plate issued only to qualified U.S. military paratroopers. It also had a special forces sticker on its bumper and stickers on its back window saying, “Welcome to America. Now speak English” and “Does my American flag offend you? Call 1 800 LEAVE THE USA.” The gate of the pickup bed also had a decal from a dealership in Ocala, Fla.

Library director finalist vetted

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

A finalist for the Lawrence Public Library director position made her case to about 40 library employees and members of the public Wednesday.

Sarah Tansley, who is the manager of Chicago’s Humboldt Park Branch Library, gave a prepared speech on technology in library systems and then took questions on her background, library philosophy and experience.

She joked that her talk on technology was ironically written with pen and paper on an airplane but said that she felt library technology ultimately serves to enhance, rather than replace, traditional

library services and b o o k s .

Throughout the discussion, she also emphasized the importance of the Tansley library as a community space — an “asset” she praised in the plans for the $19 million Lawrence library expansion.

“The library is the city’s living room,” she said.

Tansley, one of three finalists for the local director’s job, has an undergraduate degree from Southern Illinois University, a master’s in library and information science from Dominican Univer-

sity and a master’s in public service from DePaul University, according to her resume. She’s been working as a branch manager since 2006 and as a librarian since 2000. She began as a page when she was an undergraduate and then as children’s librarian, which she described as the “hardest job I’ve had.”

Questions fielded from the audience included a call to describe her greatest challenges. As a manager in an expansive system that’s seen controversy and even closures over extensive layoffs in the last few months, Tansley said keeping staff motivated was one of the biggest.

Tansley served on a committee, along with city-appointed architects

BRIEFLY Natural gas leak causes evacuation Two city streets were blocked off, and about a dozen businesses were evacuated after a delivery truck hit a natural gas meter in the alley between the 1000 blocks of Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets Wednesday morning, according to Black Hills Energy spokesman Curt Floerchinger.

The incident occurred about 10:30 a.m., and crews worked for about an hour replacing a broken valve on the meter. Floerchinger said crews shut off gas to the block quickly, but businesses on both the 1000 blocks of Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets were evacuated as a precaution.

By 11:30, streets and businesses had reopened.

No injuries or major damage were reported.

Last summer, the Older Women’s League was in the conference room at the United Way building discussing a dream to create accessible homes for low- to moderate-income seniors.

“We have a number of older people who have outgrown homes that are not accessible to them any longer,” said Hilda Enoch, a member of the group.

Right down the hall from the conference room were the offices of Tenants to Homeowners, a nonprofit organization that builds affordable housing in Lawrence. So the group went to visit Rebecca Buford, its executive director, to see what could be done.

“That is a great dream, but the problem is none of the land in town is affordable for low-income people,” Buford told them.

And then the group had an idea.

“We looked out the window, and we saw this wonderful space that wasn’t being utilized at all,” Enoch said.

The land the group eyed was two acres of open space that sat behind the United Way COUNTY building near COMMISSION 25th Street and Cedarwood Avenue. It had been purchased by the county in the 1960s when the county operated a nursing home in what is now the United Way building.

The land had been purchased to accommodate any expansions at the nursing home. And since the nursing home shut down, all sorts of plans have been proposed for the property, none of which materialized.

“So we asked Rebecca, ‘How about that space over there?’ This is a tremendous space. And she said we will have to go to the County Commission and convince them that this is a good idea. So here we are,” Enoch said Wednesday night to the commissioners and roomful of supporters.

Douglas County commissioners were convinced. At Wednesday’s meeting, they unani-

mously agreed to donate the land to the nonprofit organization on the condition that the plan is approved for development.

Tenants to Homeowners has proposed building eight two-bedroom and six one-bedroom homes and a common building that could be used for cooking, classes and senior services. The onestory homes would target seniors who have monthly incomes of between $1,500 and $2,500.

From the feedback the organization received from seniors, the organization decided to rent the homes instead of selling them.

“They would have the ability to move out quickly if they needed to, and it wouldn’t be sitting there in an estate. It would be going back to the trust, and we could actually get another tenant in there,” Buford said.

The homes would have monthly rents below fair market value, which right now is $541 for a one-bedroom and $743 for a twobedroom.

Not everyone was as smitten with the idea as Enoch. Nearby neighbors

KU tries to solve communication issues related to efficiency plan

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As Kansas University begins to make changes associated with its plan to be more efficient, administrators are working on ways to better communicate those moves.

Doug Riat, who had been serving as KU’s director of facilities operations, is no longer in that role, said Barry Swanson, associate vice provost for operations.

Though KU offered him another position, he declined it, Swanson said. As of Saturday, he is no longer employed at KU. Vince Avila, associate director of facilities planning and development for student housing, took over in an interim role.

Administrators are merging the student housing maintenance and facilities operations functions at KU. Swanson acknowledged that communicating the move was difficult. Many of the employees work away from a desk, don’t check email regularly and work different shifts throughout the evening.

“It’s a difficult set of people to communicate with,” he said.

Swanson and other administrators held meetings as late as 11 p.m.

Swanson said he hoped news like the position changeover could be noted on the plan’s website, cfe.ku.edu.

“We want people to go

there and be confident that they’re getting accurate, complete information,” Swanson said.

Though news of the position change wasn’t posted by Tuesday, it had been Wednesday (though it was dated Feb. 6).

Gavin Young, a spokesman for the provost’s office, said more timely information would be coming to the website soon.

Each of the 10 cases associated with the plan, called Changing for Excellence, has a staff leader. Young said those people should be providing weekly updates to the website.

Brownback touts gains in wind energy TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback and several wind energy officials are touting efforts in Kansas to develop the power source and asking that a federal tax credit for the industry not be allowed to expire.

At a news conference Wednesday, the Republican governor said Kansas is among the national leaders in wind energy production, with several new wind farms scheduled for completion this year.

But there’s concern that Congress won’t extend a tax credit that makes it worthwhile for wind developers to invest in new turbines. One industry official said Wednesday that without the tax credit, construction of wind equipment at a plant in Hutchinson could end next year.

Brownback said that while the tax credit shouldn’t be permanent, it’s important to provide support as the renewable markets grow.

County approves plan for senior housing

the time, the pursuit ended near Ninth and Tennessee streets.

said the site had notorious drainage and sewer problems and worried that new development would only worsen the issues.

The neighborhood also already had a high percentage of rental properties that had loud noises, parties and music.

And the development would mean a loss of what has been an informal park for decades.

“I hear kids out there playing all the time, especially in nice weather.

And I hear kids out there sledding,” neighbor David Affalter said.

County commissioners assured neighbors the drainage and sewer problems would be addressed through the building approval process.

“If it is going to be developed eventually, I don’t think you will find a better neighbor to develop it,” commissioner Jim Flory said. “We hate to lose that little open space, but it is being lost to an excellent cause.”

Many in N.Y. cheer delay of animal disease lab move

By Frank Eltman Associated Press

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — The Obama administration has put the brakes on a plan to build a new lab that studies contagious animal diseases, a decision that has pitted disappointed Kansans hopeful about growth against New Yorkers fighting to keep about 200 jobs at a Cold War-era facility on a tiny island.

Proponents say the new lab, estimated to cost $650 million, is needed to protect the nation’s livestock industry, while skeptics argue that such an investment in an economic crisis is unwise.

“The prospect of taking a wrecking ball to a multimillion-dollar Homeland Security investment in the study of foot-and-mouth disease at Plum Island to accommodate another several hundred milliondollar research lab right in the middle of cattle country has always seemed like the height of irresponsible government spending,” said Bob DeLuca, president of the Group for the East End, which focuses on environmental issues on eastern Long Island.

Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the New York-based Citizens Campaign for the Environment, gushed when told this week that President Barack Obama recommended no additional funding for construction of a new biosecurity lab. Obama also directed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to reassess the viability of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility planned near Kansas State University.

“If nothing is broken, why are they trying to fix it?” Esposito asked of the Plum Island laboratory, which sits on an 840-acre,

This is nothing but a boondoggle, a money grab that the president has stopped.”

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday that the lab remains necessary and that Obama’s budget request for the next fiscal year includes $8 million for research in Kansas. She predicted the project will move forward if Congress provides the funding.

“We’ve had trouble with getting the money for the NBAF for the last three years,” she said in response to committee Chairman Robert Aderholt’s question about whether Homeland Security is committed to a lab on the mainland. “It has been peer-reviewed and put in Kansas, near a lot of other resources.

That makes sense to put it there.”

Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts said the state’s delegation has been “working over-

time, across party lines” on the lab project with federal agencies.

Spokeswoman Sarah Little said Roberts remained focused on shepherding the lab through the appropriations process, calling it a “critical national security priority.”

On the other side of the country — and the political aisle — Democratic Rep. Timothy Bishop, whose eastern Long Island district includes Plum Island, countered that Republicans would ordinarily be pleased that the president was halting potentially wasteful spending.

“In the fiscally constrained environment that we are in, I don’t think there is the need to spend upward of $1 billion on a new facility when there is a perfectly good one, doing perfectly good work already here,” he said.

Homeland Security, which took control of operations at Plum Island after the federal agency was formed in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, has spent $35 million on improvements at the lab in recent years, including an expansion of large-animal research rooms, renovation and expansion of the necropsy facilities, and infrastructure and security upgrades.

The department has argued that a modernized lab in Kansas that could study diseases affecting both animals and humans is needed and that the Cold War-era Plum Island center, which studies only animal diseases, is approaching the end of its usefulness. Officials in New York point to the recent upgrades — and the fact that dangerous human diseases are already being studied at places like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta — as arguments opposing a new facility.

Officials: 358 killed in prison fire COMAYAGUA, HONDURAS — Honduran officials confirmed Wednesday that 358 people died when a fire tore through an overcrowded prison, making it the world’s deadliest prison fire in a century.

With 856 prisoners packed into barracks, the farm prison in the Comayagua province north of the capital was at double capacity, said Supreme Court Justice Richard Ordonez, who is leading the investigation.

Ordonez told The Associated Press the fire started in a barracks where 105 prisoners were bunked, and only four of them survived. Some

115 bodies have been sent to the morgue in the capital of Tegucigalpa.

The fire started by an inmate and tore through the prison, burning and suffocating screaming men in their crowded barracks as rescuers desperately searched for keys to unlock the doors.

The local governor, who was once a prison employee, told reporters that an inmate called her moments before the blaze broke out and screamed: “I will set this place on fire, and we are all going to die!”

Comayagua Gov. Paola Castro said she called the Red Cross and fire brigade

immediately. But firefighters said they were kept outside for half an hour by guards who fired their guns in the air, thinking they had a riot or a breakout on their hands.

Officials have long had little control over conditions inside many Honduran prisons, where inmates have largely unfettered access to cellphones and other contraband.

Survivors also told investigators that the unidentified inmate yelled “We will all die here!” as he lit fire to his bedding late Tuesday night in the prison in Comayagua, 53 miles north of Tegucigalpa.

Manufacturers providing boost to economy WASHINGTON — American factories are humming — and driving the economy forward.

Manufacturers have been hiring more consistently than other employers, for jobs with better-thanaverage pay. They just had their best month of growth in five years. And more factory output has raised demand in some other industries, such as shipping, leading to further hiring.

“The manufacturing sector is on a tear,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

It’s an optimistic theme that serves President Barack Obama’s political needs. On Wednesday, Obama traveled to Milwaukee to salute a company that brought jobs back to the United States. The president has promoted

the nation’s manufacturing base as an engine of growth and as evidence of a recovering economy.

No one thinks manufacturing will return to its 1950s peak. After all, the factory sector now makes up barely one-tenth of the economy.

But since the recession ended more than 2 1/2 years ago, factories have been contributing disproportionately to the recovery in hiring and the overall economy.

A big reason, economists say, is that individuals and businesses are making major purchases they delayed during the Great Recession and its aftermath. Consumers are buying more cars and appliances. Companies are investing in industrial machinery and computers.

EDITORIALS

A dog of a bill In a year marked by huge policy issues, Kansas legislators should defer any action on a surprisingly controversial measure to name a state dog.

A

t first, it sounded like those cute Kansas school children were at it again, but come to find out, it was a couple of Kansas adults who decided to launch an effort to have the cairn terrier designated as the Kansas state dog.

Brenda Moore, a kennel club member from Winfield, made what she thought was an innocent request of her state legislator, Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield.

She later told a Wichita newspaper that she figured that if Kansas had a designated state grass, it also should have a formal state dog. And what better candidate, she thought, than the cairn terrier, the same breed as the most famous dog with a Kansas connection, the terrier that played Toto in “The Wizard of Oz.” The first reaction of many Kansans to the state dog legislation probably was that it was a waste of state legislators’ time and resources. Surely, when legislators are being faced with proposals to drastically alter the state’s tax code, its school finance formula, its Medicaid system and other key policy areas, they have better things to do than spend time dealing with legislation to designate a state dog.

And, for heaven’s sake, if you’re going to name a state dog, don’t tie it to “The Wizard of Oz.” Most Kansans are sick to death of the Dorothy, Toto and Yellow Brick Road references that are linked to everything from Kansas sports teams to our recent efforts to attract the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to Manhattan.

Moore may have expected that kind of criticism of her proposal, but what probably came as more of a surprise was the quick and vehement reaction of an official with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Kansas already has a “reputation as a hotbed for cruel, filthy puppy mills,” said Martin Mersereau, director for cruelty investigation for PETA. Naming the cairn terrier or any breed as the Kansas state dog, he added, would encourage puppy mills to “churn out litter after litter of the breed,” which would support their cruel breeding practices and perhaps reduce the number of dogs adopted from state animal shelters.

The PETA reaction may have been a little over the top, and there certainly are people, including some cairn terrier owners, who support the bill. Even if naming a state dog is a relatively harmless piece of legislation, we agree that state legislators probably have better — and more important — things to do this year.

Ignorance of history alarming There are only two possible explanations for that photo.

One is intentional malice.

That is the explanation favored by Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. That picture, he told The Associated Press, is “beyond the pale.”

The second explanation is ignorance, i.e., that when a troupe of U.S. Marines posed in Afghanistan with a flag bearing the logo — a double “s” in the shape of lightning bolts — of the Schutzstaffel, or SS, the military and police arm of the Nazi party, they had no idea what it was. Indeed, a spokeswoman at Camp Pendleton in California where the Marines are based says the men in the photo, which surfaced on the website of a Florida weapons company, thought the double “s” stood for “sniper scouts.”

The spokeswoman says the Marines were unaware the flag symbolized the thugs and bully boys who, under Adolf Hitler’s command, burned down much of Jewish Europe during the Holocaust.

While Rabbi Hier may be right that this photo represents a knowing act of anti-Semitism, it seems more likely the second explanation is true and that what it actually represents is the fact most Americans don’t know their past from a hole in the ground. This is a perception quantified by research, including a 2000 study that found that most seniors at America’s top colleges — our

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

So for the second time in as many months, the Marines find themselves embroiled in controversy over embarrassing imagery.” best and brightest — could not answer basic questions about American history. The reason?

In many schools, history is no longer a required course.

So for the second time in as many months, the Marines find themselves embroiled in controversy over embarrassing imagery. The first, of course, was that video of Marines urinating on the corpses of dead Taliban. It spoke to the dehumanizing nature of war.

This new image, however, speaks to the degradation of American memory.

As many as 60 million people worldwide died in the war to rid the world of that flag and all it represents. Over 400,000 of them were Americans. It is a pungent obscenity to see men who wear the

same uniform and salute the same colors posing before a flag symbolizing those who slaughtered their countrymen.

In a sense, it would be easier if those Marines were indeed motivated by hatred because that, at least, you can get your arms around. You know what to do with it: cull the ranks, require sensitivity training, increase vigilance against extremism.

But what do we do if the culprit is simply the ignorance of the undereducated? That, after all, is larger than the Marines, indicts not just a few men posing in a hostile place far from home, but also the nation that sent them there.

It indicts the facts-optional “truthiness” that often informs — that word is used advisedly — political debate. And it indicts the short-sightedness that led us to believe we could diminish our own history and pay no price for doing so.

Now the price stares out at us: American Marines posing with a Nazi flag.

In the photo they look young, these Marines, part of that coming generation that will write the next chapter of the American story. That should give us pause. That should worry us some. To truly comprehend tomorrow, you must first comprehend yesterday.

So how can you write the next chapter of a story you don’t even know?

To the editor: I am a proud Lawrencian, quick to defend my decision to keep my roots firmly planted here, where I grew up. My paternal grandparents attended elementary in the same school my children have come to love, and my father and I have dedicated portions of our lives to working in the schools here.

I’ll be honest. I don’t know much — only what I’ve observed and done. Fortunately, others have shared the facts for me.

A number of years ago, a bond issue passed, funding school repairs and improvements. Soon after, expensive, state-of-the-art athletic facilities were built for both high schools while other schools continued using trailers for classrooms.

This past fall, my son rushed home, upset. “Mom,” he shouted, “They might close a school! You have to call everyone you know!”

He expressed concern for his peers and how their lives would change. How would this affect them? Or him?

It’s interesting that the eastcentral portion of Lawrence has long been viewed negatively. No matter anyone’s assessment of our quality of life, our residents are not statistics.

Our children are not numbers.

There is too much to lose playing games with our children’s education. There is no financially urgent reason to close or consolidate our schools.

Hard as it is to reduce my thoughts to 250 words articulately, they can be summed thusly: Lawrence simply does not need to close another school.

PUBLIC FORUM

Apology may open dialogue When one writes about moral convictions, it’s probably a good idea to consistently live up to them. That way people can still disagree with your convictions, but they have a difficult time accusing you of hypocrisy.

Last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, I failed to live up to one of my highest principles. Here’s the background. The story about the Obama administration’s attempt to force Catholic and other faith-based institutions to offer employees free contraception in their health care coverage was still fresh. I was asked to be on a panel before what looked like a crowd of about 1,000 conservatives, hungry for “red meat.”

A clip was played from Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC program. It featured her commenting on the subject. I stupidly said before thinking, “I think she’s the best argument in favor of her parents using contraception.” I then added, “and all the rest of the crowd at MSNBC, too, for that matter.”

It didn’t matter that far worse things have been said in print and on TV about me.

I am not supposed to behave like that. I co-wrote a book with my liberal Democratic friend, Bob Beckel, called “Common Ground: How to Stop the Partisan War That is Destroying America.” We also write a column together for USA Today. One of the principles in which I believe is

not to engage in name-calling; which, to my shame, I did.

The next morning I felt bad about it, so I called Ms. Maddow to apologize. It wasn’t one of those meaningless “if I’ve offended anyone...” apologies; it was heartfelt. I had embarrassed myself and was a bad example to those who read my column and expect better from me.

Maddow could not have been more gracious. She immediately accepted my apology. On her show she said publicly, “I completely believe his apology. I completely accept his apology.”

To be forgiven by one you have wronged is a blessing, it’s even cleansing.

Maddow also accepted my invitation to lunch and we will soon meet in New York. I am looking forward to it. Since the incident,

which, of course, garnered a mini-tornado of media and blogosphere coverage, I have watched a couple of her shows. Without engaging in any qualifiers, she is a strong and competent advocate for her position. Why do so many of us only watch programs that reinforce what we already believe? Where is the growth in that? Whatever else she may or may not be, she is my fellow American.

I have many liberal friends acquired over the years.

They are impossible to avoid in the media, but I don’t wish to avoid them. They became my friends because I stopped seeing them as labels and began seeing them as persons with innate worth. That is what I failed to do in my first response to Rachel Maddow.

One might expect a pro-lifer like me to support the birth of fellow human beings and not suggest they should never have been born.

I expect to like Rachel Maddow because my instinct is to separate the value of a person from his or her political position. For some strange reason (demon possession, perhaps) I failed to do that at CPAC. So, apology delivered and accepted and lunch will soon be served. I’m trying to decide whose career might be hurt more should someone take a picture of us enjoying a meal and — it is to be hoped, at least by me — each other.

Now Delivering For Lunch!

KU’s Robinson, UK’s Davis neck-and-neck

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Former Jayhawk familiar with Lin Brady Morningstar and Jerome Dyson, former starting guards for college basketball national powerhouses, recently talked about the same thing the rest of us interested in sports have been discussing lately in the office, at the dinner table, on the phone.

Morningstar, an underrated player during his career at Kansas University, and Jerome Dyson, a standout at UConn, weighed in on Jeremy Lin, who has reversed the New York Knicks’ fortunes in even far more stunning fashion than Tim Tebow did the Denver Broncos. Lin’s loud landing as an NBA star has rocked New York harder than KU junior center Jeff Withey has sprung out of his cocoon to fly down court, get a block at one end, a stuff at the other, and back to the original end to hit the deck to force the alternate possession arrow to flip, all in a matter of seconds.

The difference in the Lin talk between Morningstar and Dyson, teammates with the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League: Both men played on the same basketball court as the man who has renamed New York City to Lin City.

Lin, 23, lit up Dyson’s UConn team for 30 points in November of 2010 as a senior.

Morningstar and Lin were among the players working out with former NBA coach and KU assistant coach Bob Hill in the summer before Morningstar’s junior year.

“Jerome was telling me how good (Lin) had it going that game against them,” Morningstar said by phone from Tulsa. “He said he was good. You could see back when I was playing with him that summer he had some game. The kid’s pretty athletic, he could handle, pass, shoot it.”

As a senior in Palo Alto, Calif., Lin led his team to a 32-1 record, a state championship and was named his division’s state player of the year. Yet, no Division I school offered him a scholarship, and only two of nine Ivy League schools to which he wrote letters offered him a guaranteed walk-on spot on the team (the Ivy League does not offer athletic scholarships.) He chose Harvard over Brown and was a two-time all-conference performer.

Undrafted, Lin played sparingly for the Golden State Warriors last season as a rookie, was sent to the D League three times and was cut on the first day of post-lockout training camp in December. He played in two exhibition games for the Houston Rockets and was cut.

Two days after Christmas, the Knicks picked up Lin. Three weeks later, they sent him to the D League, where, playing for the Erie Bayhawks against the Maine Red Claws, he had a triple-double (28 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists) to earn a call-up.

But it wasn’t until Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni was so fed up with his team’s guard play in a Feb. 3 loss to the

Kansas University’s Thomas Robinson and Kentucky’s Anthony Davis head into the homestretch of the regular season as leading contenders for college basketball’s National Player of the Year.

An ESPN panel of 54 pollsters who vote for either the Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy, AP Player of the Year or Oscar Robertson Trophy has Robinson leading Davis 141 points to 112.

Robinson, a 6-foot-10, 237-pound junior from Washington, D.C., received 34 first-place votes, 19 seconds and one third in the network’s straw poll. Davis, a 6-10, 220-pound freshman from Chicago, received 20 firsts, 25 seconds and two thirds. Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger checked in at third, followed by Creighton’s Doug McDermott, Michigan State’s Draymond Green, West Virginia’s Kevin Jones, Missouri’s Marcus Denmon, Mississippi State’s Arnett Moultrie, Murray State’s Isa-

iah Canaan and Marquette’s Darius Johnson-Odom.

Robinson led by a more sizable margin during ESPN’s previous two POY polls.

“I feel more motivated right now than when people were spreading rumors that it was locked (for Robinson),” Robinson said Wednesday on Doug Gottlieb’s ESPN radio show. “You never believe that, especially with so much of the season left. Now that I see I have to compete with Please see KU HOOPS, page 3B

Second swoon

Cyclones pull away for rout J-W Staff Reports

AMES, IOWA — Kansas University carried a two-point lead into halftime, but Iowa State rebounded after intermission and pulled away for a convincing 66-47 victory over the Jayhawks on Wednesday night.

It was the first full game for the KU women’s team since it lost its leading scorer and All-Big 12 candidate, junior Carolyn Davis, because of season-ending knee injury.

Senior Aishah Sutherland stepped up to help fill the void, with 12 of her teamhigh 19 points in the first half, which KU won, 23-21.

But the Cyclones hit 60 percent from the field after the half and drained five of eight three-pointers (62.5 percent) after the break.

Sutherland also had nine rebounds and four blocks.

Angel Goodrich was the only other Jayhawk to score in double figures with 10, and she had four assists.

Starting in Davis’ place, freshman Chelsea Gardner had eight points and four rebounds in 29 minutes.

KU fell to 17-8 overall, 6-7 in the Big 12. ISU improved to 15-9, 6-7.

Iowa State quickly erased Kansas’ lead with its first shot of the second half, a three from Brynn Williamson at the 19:19 mark. The bucket was the first of 14 straight points by the Cyclones.

TCU players arrested in drug bust FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) — Authorities arrested 17 students at Texas Christian University on Wednesday as part of a sixmonth drug sting, an especially embarrassing blow to the school because it included four members of the high-profile football team.

Arrest warrants painted a startling picture of the Horned Frogs, with a handful of players who allegedly arranged marijuana sales after class or around practice and who told police that most of the team had failed a surprise drug test just two weeks ago.

According to police, players sold undercover officers marijuana during the season and as recently as last week. “There are days people want to be a head football coach, but

today is not one of those days,� coach Gary Patterson said in a prepared statement. “As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt, and now I’m mad.�

The 17 people arrested were caught making “hand-to-hand� sales of marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs to undercover officers, police said.

They said the bust followed an investigation prompted by complaints from students, parents and others.

TCU has an enrollment of about 9,500 students, but the athlete arrests drew the most scrutiny. The bust came just one day after a thrilling overtime victory by the men’s basketball team over a ranked opponent, UNLV, and less than 24 hours after TCU released its football

schedule for next season, its first in the Big 12 Conference.

Three prominent defensive players on the team were arrested: linebacker Tanner Brock, the leading tackler two seasons ago, defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey and cornerback Devin Johnson. The other player is offensive lineman Ty Horn.

While school Chancellor Victor Boschini said he didn’t think TCU had a “football problem,� the arrest affidavits raise the possibility that other players were involved.

In November, a Fort Worth police officer was informed that Horn was selling marijuana to “college students and football players at Texas Christian.� The officer allegedly bought marijuana that day, Nov. 3, two days before a road

FREE STATE HIGH

game at Wyoming, from both Horn and Yendrey.

Officers during the next several months allegedly set up drug deals with the players outside restaurants, a grocery store and other areas around campus.

On Jan. 19, Brock allegedly sold an officer $200 worth of marijuana after Yendrey ran out. “After a short conversation about the marijuana, Brock and I exchanged phone numbers, telling me to come to him from now on instead of (Yendrey),� according to the affidavits.

Horn and Johnson scoffed at the Feb. 1 team drug test ordered

by Patterson, police said. Brock allegedly told an undercover officer that he failed the surprise test “for sure,� but that it wouldn’t be a problem because there would be others involved.

Long Beach keeps hope for tourney

Top-ranked Kentucky opens doors to practice

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Syracuse is solid and Kentucky is kinetic, but several scenarios remain unresolved as college basketball marches toward March and the NCAA tournament.

Here’s a look at still-to-beanswered questions: — Has Long Beach State done enough to earn an at-large invite?

It’s bad enough that we haven’t had pro football around here since 1995. Now it seems we’re having to beg, borrow or barter our way into the annual NCAA ball.

UCLA, “old faithful� as the NCAA used to call it, missed the tournament two years ago and isn’t getting in this year without a ticket or a miracle run to the Pac-12 tournament championship.

Two years ago, a lonely Southern California annexed Santa Barbara, less than 100 miles from L.A., as our nextdoor, wine-tasting neighbor.

And UC Santa Barbara’s Gauchos did us proud — until, um, opening night, when they lost by 17 to second-seeded Ohio State.

This year’s expectations have been offloaded onto Long Beach State, dominating the Big West Conference even as it’s losing ground in the RPI rankings — now in the 40s. The 49ers (19-6, 12-0 in conference play) once seemed a decent bet to earn an at-large invitation if they didn’t secure the Big West’s automatic bid.

Our revised advice: win the conference tournament. “I don’t really like their chances,� Jerry Palm, who runs collegerpi.com, said this week of Long Beach’s at-large candidacy.

Long Beach State has done everything a mid-major has been told to do. It has played the toughest nonconference ledger imaginable — Kansas, North Carolina, San Diego State, Kansas State — and scored wins over Pittsburgh and Xavier. — Could Connecticut become only the fifth team since tournament expansion in 1985 to miss the field the year after winning the national title?

Florida failed to make it the year after winning in 2007, and North Carolina went 16-16 the season after driving off with the 2009 title in Detroit.

Connecticut (15-9, 5-7) has lost six of its last seven and coach Jim Calhoun, approaching his 70th birthday, is out of the lineup with a back problem. The school has already been banned from next year’s tournament for failing to meet academic standards.

The good news: UConn plays four of its next six at home, and the Huskies finished 9-9 in the Big East last year and still won the NCAA title.

LEXINGTON, KY. — Kentucky opened its practice on Wednesday, allowing students, faculty, staff and a national television audience to watch the top-ranked Wildcats’ workout and scrimmage. “I want the students into it, I want the players alert and focused through the week,� coach John Calipari said. “Our practices are pretty consistent in how we go about it, then it turns into ... ‘Why don’t we call ESPN?’ Then it was like, ‘I bet it rates higher than games.’ It’s Kentucky. That’s the Kentucky Effect.�

The Wildcats are trying to become the first team since 2003 to finish the Southeastern Conference undefeated. Next up for Kentucky (25-1, 11-0) is Mississippi (15-9, 5-5) on Saturday.

They also have games remaining at Mississippi State, Calipari home versus Vanderbilt and Georgia and the regular-season finale at Florida on March 4. “The way we’re playing, I’m happy, but I’m not satisfied. I’m just not satisfied because I want to make sure we’re getting better and I’m looking for areas where can we grow,� Calipari said. “I guess we could be more perfect, but the reality is I’m happy how we’re playing, but I’m not satisfied. I want us to improve on that.�

Calipari decided to open practice after what happened in the days leading up to Kentucky’s only loss. The Wildcats beat North Carolina by a point on Dec. 3, but fell at Indiana on Christian Watford’s buzzer beating three-pointer exactly one week later after he gave the team two days off. He also downplayed that any team would gain an advantage watching the practice on television. “You say, ‘Well, what if this doesn’t work?’ I know the other doesn’t work, because I lived it,�

Calipari said. “The other thing we did absolutely didn’t work after North Carolina. So I’m trying something different. Maybe it won’t work, but we’ll see. We’re really not changing anything.�

The afternoon practice drew about 2,000 people to the 8,000-seat Memorial Coliseum who received free tickets as students, faculty or staff at the university. The Wildcats wanted to make it open to the public, but parking around the campus while school was in session proved to be too logistically complicated to solve on short notice.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Calhoun’s return on hold STORRS, CONN. — Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun will miss at least two more games while he receives treatment for his ailing back, the school said Wednesday.

Calhoun, who sat out the team’s last four games as a result of spinal stenosis, including Wednesday night’s victory against DePaul, will miss Saturday’s game against Marquette and Monday’s game against Villanova. “I am happy that we seem to have located the problem and I am currently moving forward with treatment,� Calhoun said in a statement. “We have to give that treatment time to see whether or not it is effective.

Calhoun, who has been experiencing back pain since last summer, took an indefinite leave of absence on Feb. 3.

then, with a win over Seton Hall and losses at Louisville and Syracuse. UConn has lost six of its last seven games, and has won just three times in 2012. “I’m hoping by the middle of next week, we will have a much clearer picture of where we are and when I can look forward to getting back to doing what I do,� Calhoun said.

The university released the schedule Wednesday — the day after the Big 12 Conference schedule was released. OU will open the season Sept. 1 at UTEP followed by a home game a week later against Florida A&M. The Sooners then play four conference games before hosting Notre Dame on Oct. 27. Notre Dame has played OU in Norman four times previously and has won all four games — including in 1957 when the Fighting Irish upset OU, 7-0, to snap the Sooners’ 47-game winning streak.

Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton says he’s undergoing counseling individually and with his wife in the aftermath of his admitted relapse with alcohol and is “doing things right a day at a time.�

In an exclusive interview Wednesday with Pastor James Robinson on Glenn Beck’s live streaming video network, Hamilton said he knows it’s a serious issue. He said he’s doing well and so is his family. The interview came just more than two weeks after Hamilton had several drinks during dinner in Dallas and continued drinking later that night. It was the second known relapse with alcohol in the past three years for the recovering drug addict.

ESPN said Wednesday that analyst Ron Jaworski had signed a five-year contract extension to appear on other programming on the network and would no longer join play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico and color commentator Jon Gruden on Monday nights.

Jaworski called “Monday Night Football� games the past five seasons. The former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback will work various ESPN studio shows year-round. Gruden joined MNF in 2009 after coaching the Raiders and Buccaneers and agreed to a five-year extension in October.

to compete with somebody else, that makes it better. Now you have a different motivation. It makes it competitive. “(If) I’m going against somebody, of course I want to win,” added Robinson, who is averaging 17.8 points (off 54.6 percent shooting), 12.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals a game for the No. 4-ranked Jayhawks (21-5, 11-2 in Big 12).

Davis averages 14.0 points (off 65.1 percent shooting), 9.9 rebounds, 4.9 blocks and 1.5 steals for No. 1 ranked Kentucky (25-1, 15-0).

Kentucky defeated the Jayhawks, 75-65, on Nov. 15 in New York.

In that game, Robinson scored 11 points off 5-of-12 shooting with 12 rebounds in 27 minutes.

Davis scored 14 points off 6-of-8 shooting with six boards, seven blocks

and three turnovers in 33 minutes.

“I believe Anthony Davis is going to be a better pro and higher-drafted pro. He’s a great shot blocker and affects the game more on the defensive end than Thomas Robinson,” Gottllieb, a former Oklahoma State guard, said on his show.

“My argument of why Thomas Robinson would be player of the year at this point is if you take him off of Kansas’ team, I’m not sure they make the NCAA Tournament.

If you take Davis off Kentucky, it’s still a good team, still a Top-25 team, and now they (with Davis) have a chance to win the championship. That is the argument. It’s kind of splitting hairs. They are different players. I’d take Robinson because of the effect and value he has to that specific Kansas club.”

Robinson said the Jayhawks have come a long way since November.

No. 24 Wichita St. 73, Missouri St. 58 WICHITA — Seven-foot center Garrett Stutz hit four three-pointers and scored 21 points to lead Wichita State over Missouri State to clinch at least a tie for the Missouri Valley Conference title.

Stutz finished 7-of-8 from the field and had 10 rebounds for the Shockers (23-4, 14-2), who were playing their first game as a ranked team since 200607.

Loyola Marymount 75, No. 21 Saint Mary’s 60 MORAGA, CALIF. — Drew Viney scored 17 points, and Anthony Ireland had 16 as Loyola Marymount bounced back from one of its most lopsided losses of the season.

Jarred Dubois added 15 points and Ashley Hamilton had 11 for the Lions (17-10, 10-4 West Coast Conference), who lost to Big 12 Women No. 24 Gonzaga 78-59 in No. 1 Baylor 83, its last game.

Dear Annie: My longtime boyfriend and I recently married. My entire family was there.

They adore my husband.

But not a single member of his family attended our little church wedding.

The morning of our wedding, one of his sisters texted my fiance and asked whether it

Some love ‘Raymond’; some don’t Does humor travel well? Can it survive translation? Should it? What’s the difference between the American sense of funny and humor abroad?

I was hoping to answer some of these questions by watching “Exporting Raymond” (7 p.m., HBO), a 2010 documentary about TV producer Phil Rosenthal and his efforts to supervise the creation of a Russian language version of his hit show “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

On one hand, you would think that a show about a bickering couple with children living too close to their inlaws would have universal appeal.

But Rosenthal is faced with Russian translations of his work that put great emphasis on the children, something CBS’ “Raymond” rarely did.

He quickly becomes embroiled in the politics of Russian show business. A network executive nixes his casting decision just to show Rosenthal who’s boss. Later a coveted performer’s acting mentor talks his protege out of the Russian “Raymond” because he believes that appearing in a mere sitcom would be bad for his career, even his soul. ‘‘Exporting” has moments of insight and looks into another society’s culture and sense of humor. But too much of the film is filtered through Rosenthal, who often comes across as a little grumpy, self-important and less than curious about his hosts.

Rather than open a window on Russian culture and television, “Exporting” offers yet another glimpse of Hollywood entitlement.

Speaking of Hollywood entitlement, Jack’s encounter with a mugger inspires him to run for mayor on “30 Rock” (7 p.m., NBC). This is a clear reference to actor Alec Baldwin’s flirtation with the idea of doing just that.

Tonight’s episode of “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC) offers viewers a more immediate chance to see if humor styles from abroad translate into American success. U.K. sensation Catherine Tate joins the cast as a corporate big shot.

In another sweeps cameo role, Louis C.K. guest-stars as Leslie’s ex on “Parks and Recreation” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (8 p.m., Bravo) offers a “Lost Footage” installment for those who think they’ve seen everything.

was “done yet.” When I made a comment on my Facebook page about how amazing my new husband is, this same sister rudely commented, “Enough already.”

My boyfriend finally told me that this sister thought we should marry in a Catholic church, despite the fact that I am not Catholic and both of us attend a non-Catholic church. I believe this is why his family didn’t recognize our special day. I am really hurt.

Should I say something or simply ignore this?

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Feb. 16: This year you focus on broadening your inner circle and forging stronger friendships. If you are attached, a partner frequently could be angry or jealous. Indulge your sweetie more often, and treat him or her like your best friend. You will relate more easily.

If you are single, a friend could become more, or you might meet your next sweetie through a friend, most likely after June.

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

Aries (March 21-April 19) Use your strong sense of direction to enlist supporters and get the job done. A situation that usually is more complicated than necessary is a piece of cake today.

Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Deal directly with a key person in your life. You do not need to agree with each other, but right now, the likelihood is high that you will. Recognize your limits. Tonight: Enjoy a relaxing meal, then decide.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Continue being more passive. Someone’s attempt to get you into an argument might result from his or her discomfort taking the lead. Do not just placate this person and come to the rescue.

Tonight: Follow the crowd.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to understand more of why someone is under your skin or vice versa.

You could point to this person as the reason, but this behavior is a trigger for you. Tonight: Clean your desk.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Pressure builds causing you a problem that is unexpected.

Think positively about what you need to do. Step up and take your natural role as a leader within your community circle or at work. Tonight: Whatever lights up your life.

told you about his family’s religious objections before you married. An intermarriage is hardly a trivial matter, and if you have been with this man for a long time, we are surprised you were not aware of the issue.

If his family is otherwise accepting, we would let this go. We also suggest you discuss the problem with your clergyperson and ask for guidance.

“

-

Dear Annie: After eight years at my job, I was let go. I have a felony record. The CEO who knew of my background retired last year. He felt I had proved myself and had no problem with me.

When he retired, we got an interim CEO. I told him about my record as soon as he came on board. Today, he decided our company would have a zero-tolerance policy for any criminal records, so I was fired.

Annie, I voluntarily told my supervisors of my conviction. I worked hard to show that I had overcome my record.

Was this a fair thing for the temporary CEO to do? Shouldn’t I have been “grandfathered” in? I was told if I kept to the straight and narrow, I would be fine. I have not done one thing out of line and don’t plan to. My conviction was more than eight years ago. But apparently, my honesty didn’t pay off.

No one forgives. No one believes me. I am devastated. What can I do? — Think I’m a Good Person Dear Good Person: If a company fires you because of your race, sexual preference, gender or religion, you would be able to sue them for wrongful termination.

If the Court finds the child is a child in need of care, the Court may also find that the father is unfit by reason or conduct or condition which renders the father unable to care properly for the child, the conduct or condition is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, and the parental rights of the father could be terminated. The Court may also order the father to pay child support.

On the 30th day of April 2012, at 9:00 a.m., the father and any other person claiming legal custody of the child must appear for a formal hearing and permanency hearing before the District Court, Division 6 at the Douglas County Law Enforcement and Judicial Center, 111 E 11th Street, Lawrence, Kansas.

John Clark Gilroy, an attorney in Lawrence, Kansas, has been appointed as guardian ad litem for the child. Each of the child’s parents has a right to appear and be heard personally either with or without an attorney. The Court will appoint counsel for a parent who is financially unable to retain counsel.
