Dozens of jobs, major source of books, local hangout to be lost By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

Borders in Lawrence is closing, according to a Wednesday filing the company made in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, N.Y. The Lawrence store, 700 N.H., is one of 200 locations nationally that the troubled bookseller is closing as part of the bankruptcy filing. As of Jan. 29, Borders operated 642 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, with 6,100 full-time employees, 11,400 part-time employees and 600 contingent workers. The bankruptcy filings said the bookseller had about $1.3 billion in debt. Mary Davis, public relations manager for Borders Group, said all stores on the closure list would be shut down by the end of April. Davis said employees were notified of the closure today and that sales to get rid of merchandise would likely start Saturday in time for Presidents Day weekend. Twenty-seven people work at the Lawrence store, and all will be losing their jobs. According to bankruptcy documents, closure of an additional 75 stores might be necessary. Merchandise at the closing stores is not being replenished, but the Borders Rewards program is still operating. Gift cards can still be redeemed, but not bought, at closing stores. The only other Kansas store that is closing, according to the list released by Borders, is in Wichita. The Lawrence building is owned by Agree Realty Corp., a company based out of Farmington Hills, Mich. The company also owns the Wichita Borders store that is closing. Agree Realty leases 14 properties to Borders, including its corporate

No major declines in home values this year A MAIL CARRIER DELIVERS PACKAGES to Borders Wednesday. The store is set to close by the end of April. It opened in 1997.

Heidi Raak, right, owner of the locally owned Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St, said she was sad about Borders closing. The Raven has been open for 23 years, but Raak has owned it for only three. When Borders opened in 1997, then-owners of the Raven thought the big chain store would damage the local store’s business, but Raak said that had not been the case. headquarters.

Legislation proposed to legalize medical marijuana in Kansas By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Legislation has been filed to legalize medical marijuana for people with debilitating conditions, such as cancer. “I feel very strongly that the chronically and terminally ill should be allowed to use the medicine that works best for them without having to fear being arrested or thrown in jail,” said state Rep. Gail Finney, DWichita, who suffers from lupus. “I am not advocating the use of cannabis for recreational types of

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director Steve Anderson on Wednesday declined to tell the Kansas Board of Regents his personal opinion on higher education funding. “Opinions are like belly buttons,” Anderson said. “Everyone’s got one. The only important belly button to me right now is the governor’s.” In his f irst face-to-face with the regents, Anderson urged board Anderson members to meet with him and Brownback and present ideas on how to improve higher education in Kansas. “The governor’s door is open. He is there to talk to people. When good ideas come forward, we’ll jump on them,” Anderson said. Brownback’s choice of Anderson as state budget director raised eyebrows because of Anderson’s previous work with Americans for Prosperity, an organization founded by billionaire David Koch, which espouses

activity,” Finney said Wednesday. House Bill 2330 would provide for the registration and operations of notfor-profit “compassion centers,” which would have the authority to Finney possess, cultivate, manufacture and dispense marijuana. Buyers would have to have a doctor’s prescription and a license from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The license

would permit them to possess up to six ounces of marijuana. Medical marijuana would be allowed for patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis and others. Currently, 15 states and Washington, D.C., have medical marijuana laws, Finney said. Proposals have been made in the past in Kansas for medical marijuana, but they have never gotten anywhere in the legislative process. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

47 percent will see an increase By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Home values in Douglas County largely have weathered another year without major declines, according to new numbers from the county appraiser’s office. Douglas County Appraiser Steve Miles will start mailing change of value notices — the statement that shows how much a home’s value has changed from Jan. 1, 2010 to Jan. 1, 2011 — on Feb. 28. Odds are about 50-50 that a homeowner’s property will have increased slightly in value — at least according to the folks who figure such things for property tax purposes. “It was a complicated year,” Miles said of pegging the value of Douglas County real estate. He said a federal tax credit for homebuyers early in the year spurred a lot of activity, but then sales slowed significantly before showing some signs of a rebound in December. “At one point, we though it was great and that values were really starting to come back,” Miles said. “Then it was like somebody pulled the rug out.” In the end, Miles said that about 53 percent of all residential property in Douglas County will either see their values hold steady or decline. The remaining 47 percent will see an increase in values, although increases likely will be 3 percent or less. Please see HOME, page 2A

Miles said homes in the mid-price ranges — $180,000 to $250,000 — probably were the most likely to see increasing values. Higher-end homes, those $400,000 and above were the most likely to see declining values. Bob Kocour, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors and an agent with Stephens Real Estate, largely agreed with Miles’ assessment of the market. “I think the market is starting to stabilize a little bit,” Kocour said. “Houses are starting to sell again, but it is dependent upon their condition or price. Those homes that need some work or aren’t in the best location are going to be on the market longer. Buyers are being picky right now.” Property owners will have until March 30 to f ile an appeal if they believe the county appraiser has erred. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

Rep. sorry for ‘olive complexion’ remark

1 | HONOLULU

Legislature OKs same-sex civil unions Hawaii lawmakers approved a bill Wednesday to allow civil unions for same-sex couples, marking an end to what the governor called an “emotional process” for a longtime battleground in the gay rights movement. Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s office said he intends to sign the bill into law within 10 business days. Civil unions would begin Jan. 1, 2012, making the state the seventh in the nation to grant essentially the same rights of marriage to same-sex couples without authorizing marriage itself. “I’m overjoyed. I’m so relieved. I’m so happy,” said Kristin Bacon of Honolulu, who intends to get a civil union with her partner of 15 years. “We’re really representing aloha and the aloha spirit with this vote. I’m thrilled.”

Rising prices spur inflation concerns Steady improvement in the economy may soon come at a price — faster inflation. Shoes, clothes, tires, plastics and other products all cost more at the wholesale level last month, putting pressure on businesses to pass the increases along to their customers. The hikes also give ammunition to critics who fear that the Federal Reserve’s bold steps to strengthen the economy have started to feed inflation and need to be reined in. Those critics include some Fed officials. A widely watched measure of wholesale inflation, the core Producer Price Index, rose 0.5 percent last month, the largest monthly increase since October 2008. The entire index, which includes volatile gas and food prices, rose 0.8 percent. Drug prices rose 1.4 percent, the most in almost three years. Prices rose for products throughout the economy. 3 | SAN DIEGO

Study: Tests ordered for fear of lawsuits CT scans, MRIs and other pricey imaging tests are often more for the doctor’s benefit than the patient’s, new research confirms. Roughly one-fifth of tests that bone and joint specialists order are because a doctor fears being sued, not because the patient needs them, a first-of-its-kind study in Pennsylvania suggests. The study comes a day after President Barack Obama began a push to overhaul state medical malpractice laws as a way to reduce unnecessary tests that drive up health care costs. “This study is a glimpse behind the curtain of what’s happening in HEALTH a doctor’s mind,” said its leader, Dr. John Flynn of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. If doctors sense you might second-guess them or cause trouble, “you could potentially be risking more tests being done.” Results were reported Wednesday at an American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons conference in California.

CHRIS DRINKHOUSE, LEFT, IS CONGRATULATED by fellow teacher Nici Coulson, right, after it was announced that Drinkhouse, the learning strategies teacher at Southwest Junior High School, was awarded Wednesday as the 2010-11 Lawrence Secondary Teacher of the Year.

‘Miracle worker’ named Secondary Teacher of the Year By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Chris Drinkhouse is the Lawrence school district’s 2010-11 Lawrence Secondary Teacher of the Year because she’s nothing short of a “miracle worker,” able to blend the roles of “teacher, mentor, mother, good friend and drill sergeant” into a single educator.

Rick Doll, district superintendent, couldn’t read the words — written by Melissa Stucky, one of Drinkhouse’s colleagues — out loud Wednesday afternoon without pausing. “What a combo,” Doll said, looking up to a crowd of 60 teachers, staffers, family and others gathered at Please see LEARNING, page 4A

“

She is a very discerning person, and when she notices that some students are sad, she offers advice and guidance. When she does this, it makes me glad that someone actually cares.” — A letter from eighth-grader Sam Moore about teacher Chris Drinkhouse

Presidential historian Richard Norton Smith said Wednesday he often thinks of the country’s sheer panic during the Great Depression and banking crisis as Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in 1933. People were terrified, and then suddenly a calming voice, more like a teacher, came through on the radio and began to explain his plans for the nation’s banking system in a way the public could easily understand. “This is a gift that very few leaders ever manage to have,” said Smith, who returned to the Dole Institute of Politics Wednesday evening to argue that Roosevelt should be part of a 20th century Mount Rushmore. Roosevelt, who led the country during monumental struggles of the Great Depression and World War II, figures to be Smith’s most natural choice for a new Mount Rushmore because he said Roosevelt made his list of top three presidents of all-time. Last month Smith made an argument for Ronald Reagan’s place on the hypothetical presidential monument. Please see SMITH, page 4A

Hospital sees lower numbers in income, procedures in 2010 By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s 2010 statistics were released Wednesday during its board meeting. Its net operating income was $8.2 million, down 11 percent from $9.3 million in 2009, and most of the hospital’s activity was slightly down. President and CEO Gene Meyer said LMH is doing well compared with similar-sized hospitals nationwide, which saw significant declines. “We think this is an understandable level,” he said. “We’ve invested a lot of money into physical settings and the goal is to see increases in volume, but with the general economy and the general industry facing health care reform, there’s a lot of tentativeness out there.” Here’s a look at how the hospital fared in 2010, compared with 2009: $10.2 million — total net

LMH leaders think it’s because of the economy and conflicting reports on the effectiveness for younger women. Here’s how LMH’s family practices fared in 2010, compared with 2009, along with their profit or loss for 2010. 12,439 — Mount Oread Family Practice patient visits, down from 13,980. Net loss of $402,031.

4,529 — Eudora Family Care patient visits, down from 5,184. Net loss of $161,135. 7,166 — Family Medicine of Baldwin patient visits, down from 7,718. Net loss of $275,813. 4,707 — Family Medicine of Tonganoxie patient visits, up from 4,354. Net loss of $291,010. 1,686 — McLouth Medical Clinic patient visits, up from 1,545. Net loss of $134,304. Meyer said they purposely overstaffed some of the practices in order to help them grow. He said income losses are “absolutely typical” for family practices owned by hospitals. “We do want to minimize the losses, but our goal is to support doctors in the community,” he said. The financial numbers have not been audited yet. The audited numbers will be released in April. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190.

Learning strategies teacher called a ‘miracle worker’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Southwest Junior High School. Drinkhouse, of course, had a different reaction. “I’ve been called a lot of things. I’m not sure ‘miracle worker’ is one of them, but I’ll take it,” she said, all smiles upon receiving the district award. “(Earlier) today I was called an ‘enabler.’” The observation triggered laughter throughout the room, and a few minutes later she was trading handshakes and accepting joyous hugs, both for workplace recognition long deserved and for her ongoing dedication to help students succeed at Southwest, where she started 16 years ago as a paraeducator and, a year later, became a special education teacher. Now she’s in her sixth year as a learning strategies teacher, helping students who don’t qualify for special education instruc-

tion receive the attention they need to succeed in school. From gifted students spacing off their homework to classmates struggling as their parents go through a contentious divorce, Drinkhouse sees it all and works through it all. “I consider myself an academic coach,” she said, after the seemingly endless line of congratulatory colleagues had departed. Fellow teachers welcome her varied game plans. “She approaches each student as an individual — pushing kids who need a push, hugging kids who need a hug, feeding kids who aren’t getting fed at home and driving kids who might not otherwise make it to school that day,” said Carolyn Welch, Southwest’s music teacher, in her nomination letter. “She knows a myriad of different ways to motivate

a student and won’t give up until she’s found one that works.” For her efforts, Drinkhouse received a $1 ,000 check from KU Credit Union and will be the district’s nominee for the Kansas Secondary Teacher of the Year, to be presented by the Kansas State Department of Education. She’ll also have her photo taken and displayed at district headquarters, alongside those of other award-winning educators. The image certainly could include a student like Sam Moore, an eighthgrader whose words about Drinkhouse left Doll almost speechless again. “She is a very discerning person, and when she notices that some students are sad, she offers advice and guidance,” Doll read. “When she does this, it makes me glad that someone actually cares.” — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Smith makes case for FDR on monument CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Smith spoke for 90 minutes about Roosevelt’s legacy taking questions from institute director Bill Lacy and from the estimated 320-member crowd. An overflow room was needed for both the Reagan and Roosevelt talks. He largely lauded the only man to win four presidential elections and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, but Smith also said Roosevelt wasn’t perfect, had his fierce detractors and benefited from not living in a 24-hour news cycle. Still, he called Roosevelt a pragmatist and mentioned how his economic plans, including the creation of Social Security, helped create a social safety net. “The debate over the New Deal will go on,” Smith said. “But it will go on in, I think, a very different climate. We can’t afford it.” Smith, who was the Dole Institute’s first permanent director, will return to discuss his choices of Dwight D. Eisenhower at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday and Woodrow Wilson at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 24.

State representative apologizes for remark “

she was not a legal citizen,” O’Brien said. O’Brien’s original statement had caused an uproar. The Kansas Democratic Party said her comments to the committee were racist. The dispute was over testimony O’Brien gave last week to the House Federal and State Affairs Committee in support of a bill that would repeal in-state tuition for certain undocumented students. O’Brien told the committee about an incident last year when she accompanied her son to enroll at Kansas City Kansas Community College. A woman near them in line was requesting her scholarship money, but when the clerk asked for her photo identification, the woman said she had none, O’Brien said. The woman then asked for someone else to help her, O’Brien said. O’Brien told the committee that the woman was going to get financial assistance, and her son, who was born and raised in Kansas, wasn’t. “We didn’t ask the girl what nationality she was. We didn’t think that was proper, but we could tell by looking at her that she was not originally from this country,” O’Brien said. Rep. Sean Gatewood, DTopeka, had asked O’Brien how she could tell, and O’Brien replied, “She wasn’t black, she wasn’t Asian, and she had the olive complexion.” O’Brien said she had a son-in-law from Afghanistan, who had olive complexion, so the woman could have been from Afghanistan. Another committee member, Rep. Mario Goico, R-

We didn’t ask the girl what nationality she was. We didn’t think that was proper, but we could tell by looking at her that she was not originally from this country.” — State Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie Wichita, told O’Brien during the committee hearing that the woman O’Brien had been speaking about, if she was an undocumented student, could not have received any federal or state scholarship funds. On Monday, Kenny Johnston, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, said O’Brien should apologize to the state’s minority student population for her “extremely inappropriate comments.” He added, “Apparently in Rep. O’Brien’s world, all students with ‘olive complexion’ should be banned from receiving financial aid.” When asked to respond on Monday, O’Brien had said she wanted to think about it for a day or two. But she did say the Democrats were making a big deal out of nothing “like they did with Bill Otto.” Otto, a Republican state legislator from LeRoy, was criticized for making a video in 2009 in which he criticized President Obama in a “RedNeck Rap,” while wearing a hat that said “OPOSSUM the other Dark Meat.” Otto said he didn’t mean for his video to have any racial overtones.

Budget director evades questions about funding CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

cuts in taxes, regulations and the size of government. In 2009, Anderson and the Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity proposed a “model budget” for Kansas. In that document, AFP said the biggest problem with the budget is “unconstrained growth of state spending.” The group called for a cut in the state income tax; cuts in state spending, including Medicaid; and a voucher program where tax dollars would be used to pay tuition for students to attend private schools. The plan also called for a program to allow tax credits for donations to scholarship funds for low-income children to attend private schools. The plan also recommended higher tuition at public universities and schools. “There is no reason to tax the majority in the state who do not have children attending a state institution in order to subsidize those who do, especially when there is evidence it is the more affluent citizens who are more likely to have children enrolled in higher education,” the document said. But when asked Wednesday by Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer about his philosophy about the government’s role in higher education, Anderson sidestepped the issue. He told the regents that current state spending practices were unsustainable. And Anderson said a recent budget problem over special education funding may be worse than what has been reported. After two years of budget cuts, and imposition of a 1cent state sale tax increase, the state still faces an estimated $492 million budget deficit. That hole may have deep-

ened after federal education officials recently told the state that it needs to increase its share of special education funding to meet “maintenance of effort” requirements under federal law. Officials have said the state needs to come up with $25 million or risk losing a similar amount in federal funds, but Anderson said the required amount of state spending could be as high as $61 million. Anderson said because of increased demands for education, Medicaid and pension funding, the state is looking at a revenue shortfall of more than $1 billion in five years. He said that is why it is necessary to control spending now. “This is not an acceptable position to get to,” he said. “This is a train wreck that we can avoid if we do the right thing.” Higher education has been cut approximately $100 million over the past two years as state revenues tanked during the recession. Brownback’s proposed budget for the next fiscal year keeps higher ed funding at the current level despite the projected revenue shortfalls elsewhere in the budget. But a budget projection that Anderson showed the regents had higher education gaining only slightly in funding over the next few years. Sherrer asked Anderson how could the state advance with such restrictions on higher education resources. Anderson said the administration would welcome suggestions from stakeholders on how to confront the revenue problems. And he vowed that he wasn’t going to surprise people. “Budget by ambush is not going to happen in this administration,” he said.

Committee backs abolishing Arts Commission By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The House budget committee Wednesday voted to support Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to abolish the Kansas Arts Commission. A subcommittee sought to fund the Arts Commission at nearly $800,000, but the full Appropriations Committee rejected that on a 12-9 vote. State Rep. Peggy Mast, REmporia, said she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote to fund the commission while also cutting social services. But state Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, a strong supporter of social services and the arts, said legislators shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pit two areas of funding against each other but vote on the merits of each

program. Brownback has issued an executive order to abolish the Arts Commission, transition its elimination through the Kansas State Historical Society and set up a nonprofit Kansas Arts Foundation to raise private funds. The order takes effect July 1 unless the Legislature rejects it. But supporters of the Arts Commission have said its elimination will mean the loss of $1.2 million in matching grants. Both the National Endowment for the Arts and Mid-America Arts Alliance have told the state that they were unable to tell whether under Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal the state would still be eligible to draw matching funds. The NEA questioned

whether there would be appropriate oversight of funds if the duties of the state arts agency were transferred to the State Historical Society and the funding was passed through to a separate nonprofit entity with different staff, separate bylaws and a separate board. During debate in the Appropriations Committee meeting, supporters of Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision said with the state facing an estimated $492 million revenue shortfall, government had to focus on funding â&#x20AC;&#x153;needsâ&#x20AC;? as opposed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wants.â&#x20AC;? But state Rep. Doug Gatewood, D-Columbus, said he was confused because many of those same legislators opposed his motion earlier in the week

WHAT THE FORK?

to cut in half a $5 million taxpayer-paid program to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;affordable airfaresâ&#x20AC;? out of Wichita. A recent Legislative Post Audit showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;numerous inconsistencies and inaccuraciesâ&#x20AC;? in the way officials used data to tout the success of the airfares program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to maintain some consistency as we look at all these budgets,â&#x20AC;? Gatewood said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

County reviews economic development spending plans By Brianne Pfannenstiel bpfannenstiel@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners Wednesday reviewed a policy proposal that would determine how $350,000 will be distributed to help spur economic development. Commissioners decided to wait until next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting to make a final decision on the economic development policy, though they said they were only looking for a few minor wording changes that would make the final policy more flexible. For example, they chose to change the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-skilled jobsâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality jobsâ&#x20AC;? to ensure that many different types of jobs and companies could be considered for funding. Commissioner Jim Flory also re-emphasized the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the biosciences by adding language that specifically denot-

ed that as an area to be considered for funding. The development fund, which gets its money through a recent property tax increase, would distribute $350,000 to projects located within Douglas County. Financing the economic development fund with property taxes was originally a controversial COUNTY COMMISSION subject among commissioners and Douglas County residents, but commissioners were in agreement Wednesday about how to distribute the money now that the development fund has been created and passed. Of the $350,000, $30,000 will be used to create a revolving loan fund, and another $20,000 would be

used to create job training and workforce development opportunities in Douglas County. The remaining $300,000 would act as general funding for projects that meet policy requirements. Commissioners said these amounts would be flexible. The policy, which intentionally uses vague wording in order to retain flexibility, would encourage existing industry to expand and assist new business start-ups and recruit new companies from out-of-state and internationally. It would also encourage high technology and research-based businesses that add to the quality of life in Douglas County. The commissioners expect to pass the policy at their Feb. 23 meeting without discussion. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Brianne Pfannenstiel can be reached at 832-6314.

Kansas Insurance Department gets $31M â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;early innovatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; award By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Kansas Insurance Department received $31.5 million Wednesday to help design and implement the information technology infrastructure needed to operate a state health insurance exchange. Kansas was among seven states chosen for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;early innovatorâ&#x20AC;? grant that was given by the Department of Health and Human Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early innovator states will play a critical role in developing a consumer-friendly marketplace where insurers must compete to deliver the best deal,â&#x20AC;? said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants ensure that consumers in every state will be able to easily navigate their way through health insurance options.â&#x20AC;? Linda Sheppard, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act project manager for the Kansas Insurance Department, said the grant will allow the department to work closely with the Kansas Health Policy Authority in creating a system that integrates Medicaid and health insurance information. Ultimately, the new system will be able to determine

Regents authorize GSP renovation bonds TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday authorized the issuance of $13.1 million in revenue bonds to renovate Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall at Kansas University. The renovation is expected to start this summer and take a year with GSP reopening for the 2012-13 academic year. Now a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence hall, it will become co-ed. Students who would otherwise be living in GSP will be accommodated in other student housing during the renovation, KU spokesman Jack Martin said. The project will be paid off with housing system revenues and other funds at KU.

whether Kansans are eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies that will help them pay for their insurance premiums if they get private insurance. It also will allow individuals and small businesses to compare plans and enroll in them. She said they were able to snag the award because the KHPA already was working on a new Kansas Medicaid/ CHIP eligibility system or KMED. The innovator award allows them to move forward with integrating the Kansas Health Insurance Exchange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The timing worked out well for us,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard said. Other â&#x20AC;&#x153;early innovatorâ&#x20AC;? states and their award

Shelter challenge The Lawrence Community Shelter needs the community’s help.

K, now is the time. It’s time for anyone who criticized the Lawrence Community Shelter’s plans to locate in an industrial park on the east side of Lawrence to step forward with a better plan. Although shelter officials investigated dozens of possible sites before focusing on the vacant warehouse near the Douglas County Jail, many local residents continue to contend that better sites are available. Now is the time for the community to step up and help the shelter find one of those sites. Shelter officials have decided to reopen their search after Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny dismissed a lawsuit designed to clear up questions about whether covenants on the industrial park property would allow the warehouse to be converted to a shelter. The judge didn’t rule on the covenant issue, but her dismissal of the lawsuit creates enough uncertainty to send shelter officials looking for another location. The shelter can’t stay at its current location at 10th and Kentucky streets for long. The facility isn’t large enough, and the willingness of city commissioners to allow that special use of the property is wearing thin. Commissioners had hoped the shelter would be well on its way to moving by the time its current special use permit was due for renewal in April. It’s a discouraging situation for local residents seeking to provide services for Lawrence’s homeless population. What does the future hold? Is the community going to find an acceptable location for a homeless shelter or simply hope that those who need these services will magically disappear? A report issued by Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center this week offers an interesting snapshot of the homeless in Lawrence. The Bert Nash outreach team served 692 people in 2010. About a third of those people were chronically homeless; another third were “precariously housed” with a friend or relative but without homes of their own; the other third were somewhere in between. Of those served by Bert Nash, 50 percent presented with a mental illness and 38 percent with a substance abuse disorder. There were 269 children, almost half of whom (48 percent) were 6 years old or younger. How will the community meet the needs of its homeless population? This issue is not going away. We have well-motivated people ready and willing to move forward on a new facility aimed at helping homeless people get control of their lives and become contributing members of society. Unfortunately, officials have run up against one roadblock after another in their search for an appropriate location for a new shelter. They need some help. They not only need a suitable location for a shelter; they need a community attitude that will support their plans. They need a community that will try to find ways to make a facility for the homeless work rather than focusing solely on what’s wrong with whatever proposal shelter officials put forward. Let’s show we’re up to that challenge.

The average housewife, not raised in the South, knows little or nothing about it.

Governor sees need for drastic change WASHINGTON — At first, the banquet audience at the 38th annual Conservative Political Action Conference paid Mitch Daniels, Indiana’s Republican governor, the conventional compliment of frequently, almost reflexively, interrupting his address with applause. But as they realized they were hearing something unconventional — that they were being paid the rare compliment of being addressed as reflective adults — they reciprocated his respect with quiet attention to his elegant presentation of conservatism for grown-ups. America, he said, faces “a survival-level threat,” a new “Red Menace” consisting of ink. No enterprise, public or private, “can remain self-governing, let alone successful, so deeply in hock to others as we are about to be.” Some people accept or “even welcome” a “ballooning of the state” that consigns America to “a gray parity” with other profligate nations. Such people believe history is controlled by a “leftward ratchet,” always — never mind “the Reagan Interruption” — moving toward a more powerful state. For such people, the task now is merely defensive: The Obama administration’s spending commitments — e.g., the health care law is designed to “engulf private markets and produce a singlepayer system or its equivalent” — will produce a leviathan state and reduce the American world preeminence some people deplore. Focusing on earmarks (a “per-

America, said Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, faces ‘a survival-level threat,’ a new ‘Red Menace’ consisting of ink.” nicious practice” but a “trifle”) and “waste, fraud and abuse,” says Daniels, trivializes the task of administering “bariatric surgery” to a “morbidly obese” government. He favors restoring to presidents the power to impound appropriated funds (“you’d be amazed how much government you’ll never miss”). But the big twofold task is to reform entitlements and produce economic growth — “a long boom of almost unprecedented duration.” Americans must say “an affectionate thank-you” to the last century’s major social welfare programs — then sunset them, after those Americans “currently or soon to be enrolled” in them have passed from the scene. Social Security and Medicare should be updated to conform to Americans’ “increasing longevity and good

health.” Medicare 2.0 should respect Americans’ dignity and competence by empowering them to make “their own decisions” by delivering its dollars directly to individuals, and expecting them to “pay for more of their routine care like the discerning, autonomous customers we know them to be.” To spur economic growth, we must “untie Gulliver”: “The regulatory rainforest through which our enterprises must hack their way is blighting the future of millions of Americans.” Barack Obama’s recent executive order to prune the forest was, Daniels said, akin to the world’s leading rap music producer suddenly expressing alarm about obscenity. And Daniels thinks conservatives’ “first thought” should be about “those still on that first rung of life’s ladder”: “Upward mobility from the bottom is the crux of the American promise, and the stagnation of the middle class is in fact becoming a problem, on any fair reading of the facts. Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.” Author of the most succinct characterization of the Obama agenda (“shock-and-awe statism”), Daniels has practiced the lean government he preaches. Under him, Indiana has its fewest state employees since 1978, the nation’s lowest state government employment per capita, the lowest effective property taxes and

the third-lowest per capita spending. So he has the credentials to counsel conservatives about the need to compromise in the interest of broadening the constituency for difficult reforms. “Change of the dimension we need,” says Daniels, “requires a coalition of a dimension no one has recently assembled,” including people who “surf past CSPAN to get to SportsCenter.” Which may mean ideological dilution: “Purity in martyrdom is for suicide bombers” and “King Pyrrhus is remembered, but his nation disappeared.” Daniels has “no interest in standing in the wreckage of our Republic saying ‘I told you so’ or ‘You should’ve done it my way.’” He reminded his listeners that when he was serving Ronald Reagan, the president admonished him and others that “we have no enemies, only opponents.” The case for less strident conservative rhetoric is practical: “As we ask Americans to join us on such a boldly different course, it would help if they liked us, just a bit.” Do not, Jefferson warned, undertake great departures on “slender majorities.” Conservatives criticized Democrats for doing just that regarding health care. Big changes, Daniels knows, will require a broad majority, perhaps one assembled after 2012 by someone with his blend of accomplishments, aversion to pandering and low-key charisma of competence. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Media overcorrect on objectivity Arguably, he should have chosen a more diplomatic word. Arguably, he should have said statements from the regime of now-deposed Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak were “misleading,” “untrue” or “deceptive.” Arguably, he should not have accused the government of “lies,” a word that is as judgmental as a guillotine blade. On the other hand, it is ultimately not how he said — but what he said — that has drawn criticism of CNN’s Anderson Cooper this week from several of his fellow journalists. In his reports on Egypt’s crisis, Cooper repeatedly scored Mubarak’s government for untruths. He did it in pointing out that journalists had been beaten and detained, in contradiction of the government’s contention that they were being allowed to report freely. And in discussing a claim that the government had directed that protesters not be pursued or harassed. And in dismissing a government statement that only 11 people had been injured in the protests when an independent human rights group put the figure at close to 300. For that, Cooper was ridiculed by James Rainey of the Los Angeles Times. CNN media critic Howard Kurtz questioned whether Cooper should be “taking sides.” And one Liz Trotta said that “any correspondent worth his salt knows that you shouldn’t be making editorial comments.” She, amusingly enough, is employed by Fox News. All three critics concede Cooper was accurate: the regime did lie. Yet they question whether it was journalistically ethical to say it. Take a close look. You will seldom see a clearer portrait of the

aged to get the facts, make sure the liberal and conservative talking points are represented and, once those boxes are checked, to feel as if she has done her job, has been objective. No thinking required. Me, I have no idea what objectivity means, at least insofar as news reportage goes. What I do understand is fairness, the requirement to give voice to both sides, all sides, of a given issue: abortion, immigration, gun control, the budget, whatever. But I also understand this: Though the axiom says there are two sides to every story, that is not always the case. What was the other side of World War II? The civil rights movement? Watergate? Would Liz Trotta have lectured Walter Cronkite for questioning the Vietnam War? Sometimes there are not two sides, or at least, not two sides both consonant with our broadest understanding of human rights, human wrongs and human reason. To chain reporters to some model of ethics that does not acknowledge this is to make reporters ridiculous and irrelevant. Especially in an era where American politicians take ever more brazen liberties with the truth. I intend no defense of the intrusion of opinion into the space reserved for news. But I do defend the transmission of verifiable, quantifiable facts. Even his critics concede that is what Cooper did. Back in the day, we had a word for that. We called it reporting.

timidity and obsequiousness that have infected and, increasingly, defined, American journalism. Here is my pet theory: After years of criticism for their liberal bias — some of it merited — news media, eager as a puppy to be liked, have corrected by overcorrecting. Which is to say that in the search for that mythical beast, objectivity, they have sought to banish from the news gathering process an indispensable element: judgment. Excluding, of course, Fox, for which a reluctance to judge has never been a problem.

To the editor: Gov. Brownback wants to eliminate the Kansas Arts Commission. He claims it’s frugal. In a state facing a huge deficit, it’s hard to disagree with frugality. As a state employee who may face a 7 percent pay cut, it’s hard to disagree with frugality. Nevertheless, I disagree. The arts are critical to our survival. We face problems that don’t have purely technical solutions. Diseases know no borders — social, physical, biological. Violent ideologies threaten civil societies everywhere. Global climate change is, well, global. To be sure, efforts in science and technology can discover cures, develop alternatives, test theories. But successfully implementing technical solutions requires changes in our collective behavior that in turn rely on cultural insights. Such insights are born from the arts. Still, why should the government fund the arts? For the same reason government should fund the sciences, defense, the judicature, etc. These public efforts assure the steady, fair, adaptive and measurable advancement of our society. If citizens aren’t healthy, secure, free and educated they can’t be productive. Beyond productive, though, the arts, like the sciences, help assure we are an adaptive society ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges. By eliminating the KAC, Gov. Brownback weakens the state’s ability to provide a sound foundation for its citizens and leaves us less capable of designing and implementing desperately needed solutions for the future. Penny wise, pound foolish. Gov. Brownback, restore funding to the KAC. I’ll take the pay cut if it helps ensure a better future for my son and the world he will live in. Jordan Yochim, Lawrence

Harlan true to tourney For the first time, every NCAA Tournament game will be available on one of the following channels: CBS, TBS, TNT, truTV. That means the smart, funny, candid, very real voice of Charles Barkley sometimes will be heard at halftime. That could either add spice to an always riveting March, or it could backfire. As long as Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, more accustomed to talking about the NBA, keep the focus on the tournament and not only the so-called “next level,” they’ll enhance the coverage. If their banter drifts to what sort of professional players the college stars will make, the marriage between CBS and Turner Sports could bomb. Kansas University graduate Kevin Harlan, a veteran of the NCAA Tournament and a voice for both CBS and Turner, predicts they’ll try to keep the talk collegeHarlan centric, but it won’t necessarily be easy. He speaks from experience. “One big thing at CBS has always been not to reference the NBA, pro basketball, stay away from all of that during the tournament,” Harlan said in a recent phone interview. “Talk about Charles Barkley, the great player at Auburn, Michael Jordan, the terrific North Carolina Tar Heel. Instead of Pat Riley the great NBA coach, it’s Pat Riley who played for Adolph Rupp at Kentucky. CBS has always been big on that.” Harlan said he has always enjoyed the challenge of trying to follow that rule. “Occasionally a pro preference will come up,” he said. “I kind of violated it at times. Gus (Johnson), Verne (Lundquist), all of us, a reference will happen to pop out.” Then they caught themselves making a rare slip and returned the conversation to the best sporting event of them all, the NCAA Tournament, aka March Madness. It’s amazing how much time we all waste discussing what sort of an NBA player a college star will make and then once the said star starts playing for pay, many of us barely ever see him play again. Kudos to CBS for realizing that during the tourney, the present is so fascinating, the future can wait. Harlan gives a great deal of the credit for CBS taking that approach to the tourney to retired color analyst Billy Packer. Even if you’re not a Packerbacker, you have to love him for that. “He would talk to us at the (annual) seminar (in New York City), and he was very emotional about what this tournament means to the kids who play in it and to the moms and dads who drove them to their games, to the coach and to the programs of these little-known schools who are one of the 64,” Harlan said. “He’d talk about how much it meant, that one day they get to play, to a lot of prideful people around that program. There was a real reverence to the way he talked about the tournament, and we all went into it with a different feel than for a regularseason game.” Harlan’s KU roots run deep, but he doesn’t betray his colors when calling a game.

New NCAA bat rule taking college baseball by storm By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior outfielder Casey Lytle has never been much of a power hitter. So the new NCAA rule which regulates the performance of bats and figures to take some pop out of the game likely won’t have much impact on the way Lytle plays. Even though his power numbers aren’t expected to change, Lytle likes the new era that’s being ushered into college baseball. “I don’t think I’ll really miss the 14-12 games,” Lytle said Tuesday, at KU’s media day. “When you’re comparing a weekend football score to a baseball score, it doesn’t really feel right. I think the new bats will affect the amount of runs scored and just put more emphasis on the overall game.” That, among many factors, was one of the major reasons the NCAA decided to examine its rules regarding bats. The result — bats now must be BBCOR certified and marked as such — could have as big an impact on college baseball as previous changes, such as raising the mound or adding the designated hitter, did to the big leagues. “It’s going to change the way the game’s played, there’s no doubt about it,” KU coach Ritch Price said. Beyond limiting runs, curbing power numbers and speeding up game times, another issue in play was safety. Bats now will be regulated by the Batted-Ball Coefficient of Restitution, known in layman’s terms as the “trampoline effect.” Instead of measuring exit speeds, which were known to exceed 100 mph, the BBCOR measures the “bounciness” with which a ball leaves a bat. According to the NCAA rule, “The new BBCOR formula provides a better measure of the bat’s performance and therefore allows the rules committee and bat-testing laboratories to better predict field performance based on lab tests. The goal is that nonwood bats that meet this new standard will perform similarly to wood bats.” The Jayhawks began using the new bats, which look strikingly similar to the old composite bats, during the fall season. Their effectiveness drew mixed reviews. “You can definitely tell the difference,” senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. “When you square up a ball solidly, it still goes, but it’s not going as far. You really have to be a good hitter and make solid contact for it to not be that big of an affect. Personally, I don’t really like ’em.” Added Lytle: “I can’t say I love them. Compared to last year, you obviously lose the distance you hit the ball. For me, I’ve never really been a home run hitter, so I can’t really complain too much about it. It’s just like getting a new bat. Each model has its own feel, and this is just basically like using a new model. It’s just a matter of breaking it in.” Having ample time to do that was the reason KU switched to the new bats during the Please see NEW BAT RULE, page 3B Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo Illustration

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Morris twins’ reputations called into question By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Some highly publicized transgressions on the court during the 2010-11 basketball season have called into question the character of Kansas University’s Morris twins. “What you see on TV and that kind of stuff is not necessarily who they are,” KU coach Bill Self stated emphatically on Wednesday’s weekly Hawk Talk radio show. He was speaking two days after Markieff Morris was called for an intentional foul for clipping Jacob Pullen in the face while setting a screen in Monday’s KU-Kansas State game. Markieff also committed an intentional foul on Feb. 7 versus Missouri. Marcus Morris, meanwhile, was ejected for committing a flagrant foul on Dec. 22 at CalBerkeley and also whistled for a ‘T’ on Feb. 5 at Nebraska. “During games, at times when emotion gets involved, the emoPlease see KEEGAN, page 3B tion gets the best of them. It’s not

really who they are, but it’s a maturity thing,” Self said. “They have developed a reputation that is not favorable at all. It is to the point now it’s going to cost them. We thought we had this thing KANSAS addressed to the point we VS. wouldn’t have COLORADO to revisit it again. We have When: 1 p.m. had to revisit Saturday it.” Self said any Where: Allen punishment Fieldhouse would remain TV: ESPN (cable in-house. But channels 33, 233) he’s certainly not taking the repeat intentional fouls lightly. “I’ll deal with it my own way with them, but certainly it hurts everybody associated with our program,” he said, adding, “To me, it’s bigger than that. To me, it hurts everybody that supports KU because that is not who we are. That’s not what we stress.

They know that. They understand that. They get that, but still yet it happens.” Self said replays showed Markieff did deserve the whistle Monday, because of a new rule that automatically calls for an intentional foul when a player hits another above the shoulders. “I think the reason they got the foul is because it was a twin. That’s my personal opinion, but still it was the right call,” Self said. “Kieff said, ‘I didn’t intentionally do it.’ I said, ‘I know you didn’t.’ “He was screening. You’ve got a 5-foot-10 guy running through there, (he) ducks down, and it’s kind of the perfect storm, so to speak. I think it was the right call based on a bad rule. “I don’t care what anybody says. Every official tells me it’s a bad rule. But it is a rule. It should have been an offensive foul (on Markieff), no question. Anything above the shoulders is an intentional foul so that’s frustrating.

COMING FRIDAY • A look ahead at Kansas University’s baseball season opener at top-ranked TCU

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs put the franchise tag on linebacker Tamba Hali, who went to the Pro Bowl this past season as the AFC’s leading sacker. In an announcement Wednesday on the team’s website, the Chiefs said they still hope to reach a long-term agreement with the

outside linebacker, their firstround pick of 2006. As a non-exclusive franchise player, Hali is guaranteed a one-year contract equal to the average paid last year to the five highest-paid players at his position if he stays with K.C. He can still negotiate with other teams. But the Chiefs would get two first-round draft picks from any team that signed him.

In addition to his 141⁄2 sacks, Hali had 50 tackles, 19 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles. In other NFL news: ■ The Buffalo Bills have released defensive lineman Marcus Stroud in a move that frees up salary and playing time for the team’s developing players. ■ Washington Redskins kick returner Brandon Banks suffered a

collapsed lung when he was stabbed outside a nightclub, and efforts to keep the lung inflated have delayed his discharge from the hospital. ■ The Oakland Raiders agreed with potential free agent defensive tackle Richard Seymour on a twoyear, $30 million contract that includes $22.5 million in guaranteed money.

Tourney might not go to seed

Deadline passes; Pujols, Cards still apart

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

Members of the NCAA men’s basketball selection committee meet in Indianapolis this week for a mock tournament trial run that will mostly involve throwing up their hands in advance of this year’s free-for-all. What a coincidence that the format expands in a year the championship appears so wide open. Selection Sunday is March 13, which is Daylight Saving Time this year, meaning an hour’s sleep will be lost the same day the NCAA Tournament gains three teams. Fear not, Northwestern fans, it appears you will be able to sleep in (again). The field is bulging from 65 to 68 teams, which gives fans three weeks to figure out the new brackets. Time for a refresher course; it’s not that complicated. Instead of one “play-in” game, there will be four “first-round” games. The last four at-large schools in the field will play, as will the four lowest-regarded conference champions. The four winners from Tuesday-Wednesday — those games will be at Dayton, Ohio — will be placed into the 64-team field for second-round games on Thursday and Friday. The selection committee gloated in 2008 when the four top-seeded teams — North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA and Memphis — advanced to the Final Four. The odds of that happening this year are closing in on forget-about-it. “I think this year will be a lot more unpredictable,” Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith, chair of this year’s Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, said Wednesday on a conference call. Michigan State and Kansas State, which opened the year at 2-3 in the USA Today coaches’ poll, opened the week unranked and playing for tournament survival. Kansas State (17-9) pleaded its case Monday with a rousing home win over newly top-ranked Kansas but is still only 5-6 in Big 12 play. Michigan State (14-11, 67) missed out on a testimonial Tuesday chance when it lost by 10 at Ohio State. The sport is about to usher in its third No. 1 … in a week. Ohio State was undefeated and top ranked Saturday, when it blew a 15-point lead at Wisconsin. “The goal of this basketball team as we set out was not to go undefeated,” Coach Thad Matta said after the game. Mission accomplished. No team has gone undefeated since Indiana in 1976, so losing now was maybe the best thing that could have happened. The Buckeyes’ bobble somehow convinced voters in the meaningless weekly polls to prop up flimsy Kansas, which basked in the top spot for several hours before it allowed Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen to become player of the week. Kansas coach Bill Self had a firm grip on the situation when he accessed Pullen’s performance: “He had 38 points on national TV against a team that did not deserve to be ranked No.1 in the country.” Self did not answer the question: Who does? Not knowing what’s going to happen next is actually the fun part, to the point where you almost wonder if it’s even worth being a top-seeded team this year. The top-liners have to play the 8-vs.-9 winner in round three, which this year could include one of 11 Big East teams or any number of buzz saws. Joe Lunardi, ESPN’s expert “bracketologist,” right now has Pittsburgh as a regional No. 1 meeting the winner of UCLAGeorge Mason. Gee, thanks. The reward for Texas, another projected regional No. 1, could be ... St. Mary’s. Smith, asked what impact the expanded tournament format would have on selection and seeding, summoned his years of experience on the committee to provide an intellectual answer. “It eventually all shakes out,” he said.

Chiefs slap franchise tag on linebacker Hali The Associated Press

TWO-DAY

JUPITER, FLA. — The St. Louis Cardinals made Albert Pujols what they said was their best offer. It wasn’t enough. So get ready, baseball: Pujols seems headed for the open market next fall. The deadline Pujols set for the Cardinals to reach a new contract agreement passed Wednesday with no deal, making it likely the three-time MVP will become a free agent after the World Series. The Cardinals said they will respect Pujols’ wishes and not request more talks during the season, unless their first baseman surprisingly changes his mind. “A difference of opinion in determining Albert’s value simply could not be resolved,” said Pujols’ agent, Dan Lozano. The Cardinals would not reveal their offer, though it was believed to be somewhere around $200 million for eight years, possibly with an opportunity for Pujols to obtain an ownership stake in the franchise once his playing days are complete. When — and if — talks resume, it’s unclear if St. Louis will increase its offer to Pujols’ liking. Pujols will make $16 million this season in his contract’s final year, with $4 million of the money deferred with no interest. A nine-time All-Star, Pujols is the only player in majorleague history to hit 30 or more home runs each of his first 10 seasons — all with the Cardinals, the franchise he’s previously said he wants to remain with for the rest of his career.

NBA Silas’ interim tag yanked

Outfielder Scott Podsednik has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and been invited to major-league spring training. The 34-year-old hit .297 with six homers, 51 RBIs and 35 steals last season for the Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Dodgers. He has a .279 average and 301 stolen bases in 10 major league seasons. In other baseball news: ■ Outfielder Delmon Young and the Minnesota Twins avoided salary arbitration by agreeing Wednesday to a one-year contract worth $5,375,000. The deal was just below the midpoint of the $6.25 million Young had asked for and the $4.65 million the Twins had offered when players and teams exchanged proposed arbitration figures last month. ■ Texas Rangers pitcher Omar Beltre has been diagnosed with a genetic narrowing of the spine and will have surgery Tuesday. Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine said Beltre has a condition called spinal stenosis. ■ After a record-breaking season, the Milwaukee Brewers took the risk that Rickie Weeks’ injury-plagued career is firmly in the past. Weeks agreed to a $38.5 million, fouryear contract that contains a 2015 option, which could increase the total value to $50 million. ■ Infielder Orlando Cabrera has passed his physical and signed a one-year contract with the Cleveland Indians.

The federation did not say whether the lab made a mistake. “I got the news this morning at 5 a.m. and was in shock,” Taurasi told the Associated Press by phone from her Phoenix home. “It was kind of like the first time when I heard the test result had come back positive. It’s really good that the facts came out and the truth came out.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Bobcats removed the interim tag from coach Paul Silas on Wednesday, rewarding him with a one-year extension after he helped get Charlotte into playoff contention following a miserable start under Larry Brown. “It’s a very exciting day for me knowing I’ll be here this year and next year and have a chance to really make this team special,” Silas said at a news conference. “There’s a long way to go, but we’re getting there.”

Swarthmore’s Ceylan Bodur was allowed to score the first basket of Wednesday night’s game against Bryn Mawr. “It was such a special moment,” Bodur said. “I got really emotional and teared up a little bit. I’m grateful the Bryn Mawr coach and my coach talked about this.” Bodur, a senior from Istanbul, was hurt Jan. 29 stuck on 999 career points.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Pelini confirms reorganization LINCOLN, NEB. — Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has confirmed the reorganization of his coaching staff, making Tim Beck his offensive coordinator and announcing four new assistants. Pelini told the Associated Press on Wednesday that he has hired Indiana assistant Corey Raymond to coach the secondary, Ohio assistant Ross Els to coach linebackers and Massachusetts prep coach Rich Fisher to coach wide receivers. Pelini later announced that staff intern John Garrison has been promoted to assistant and will work with Barney Cotton on the offensive line and coach tight ends. Pelini, who spoke by phone while on a golf vacation in Palm Springs, Calif., declined to say whether former offensive coordinator Shawn Watson and former receivers coach Ted Gilmore resigned or were fired. Pelini announced former secondary coach Marvin Sanders’ resignation for personal reasons in a statement two weeks ago. Beck, an original member of Pelini’s staff, has never called plays at the college level. He spent three years at Kansas before coming to Nebraska. He was the Jayhawks’ receivers coach and pass-game coordinator in 2007, when the Todd Reesing-led offense averaged 43 points and 480 yards a game.

fall season. Price, a baseball purist known for his love of manufacturing runs, said the bats were better than he expected. “Everybody said it was going to be like going back to using wood bats. That’s not true,” Price said. “You can still hit line drives with backspin, balls are carrying to the outfield, and you can hit balls to the gap. They’re still significantly better than a wood bat.” The prevailing thought among the Jayhawks made available at Tuesday’s media day was this: When hit well, balls still will leave the park, and power hitters still will be able to awe fans with their ability to blow games wideopen. “If a hitter catches it on the sweet spot, it’s still gonna go,” senior lefty Wally Marciel said. However, with the margin for error now being smaller and fewer home runs being hit off of bad swings, several Jayhawks already are noticing a change. “The balls didn’t fly in batting practice like they used to, but our guys put some charges into balls and still sent them well into the trees,” senior ace T.J. Walz said. “I think people

New bat rule could have major impact are making a bigger deal out of this than it is.” While pitchers tend to like the new bats and hitters seem opposed, Price said the new rule will change the way he and his staff approach the game. More time will be spent on base-running. More emphasis will be placed on bunting, hit-and-runs and stealing bases. In addition, Price said he already had begun recruiting a different brand of athlete, guys who are faster and more athletic. “It’s the biggest topic in college baseball today,” Price said. “I don’t think it’s anything we haven’t done in the past, but there’ll be more emphasis on when mistakes are made because you won’t be able to come back as quickly with just one swing of the bat.” Added Waters: “I think i t ’s go i n g t o c h a n ge t h e game a lot. It’s going to even up a lot of people in the conference and in the country. That three-run home run is going to be even more detrimental because not everybody’s going to be able to hit ’em.” Instead, runs will have to be scored with doubles, savvy base-running and intelligent play. Or, as Marciel put it, “You actually have to play baseball now.”

Message forgotten: Self was disappointed his squad lost its composure two days after meeting with former New York Knicks great Bill Bradley, who spoke with the squad about teamwork and other things before the Iowa State game. “I told the team, ‘That speech lasted 72 hours,’’’ Self said on Hawk Talk. “It’s so disappointing two days after we talk about this — and guys buy into it — how quickly it can change when things don’t go your way. You’ve got guys on an island trying to survive, as opposed as knowing somebody’s got your back. That’s what happened in Manhattan. “We didn’t have a group that night that rallied around it (loud Bramlage Coliseum crowd). We weren’t a team. We were individuals.” Still, as Self said, “It’s one game in a very long season. It’s a marathon. We got our butts whipped there in ’08 (and still won national title). The difference is after losing three of five that year, the guys said, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ This team has to say that, even though it’s just one bad performance.” KU also lost that season, 6160, at Oklahoma State before rattling off 13 wins in a row to win the NCAAs. “On the bus coming back from Stillwater, we said, ‘We won’t win another game. We are so soft. We can’t guard. We don’t care and this, this and

People knew he was a big-time guy, a historic figure in pro football.” Harlan became friendly with Bill Self when the KU coach was on Larry Brown’s staff. “I remember Larry saying, ‘This guy is going to be a terrific coach because he’s got great, great instincts.’ Larry admired him as a player at

My Good Looking Son

Where’s the year gone, its slipped away. The hours seem to blur, night into day. They say it gets easier as the months pass by, why then when he’s mentioned, do tears sting my eyes Such a “Good Looking boy”, the world at his feet, places to see, people to meet. It all got too much, nothing went right, he couldn’t find the strength to stay here and fight. His sister cried “Why did he go, didn’t he know we loved him so?” If he could see the grief of his friends, he wouldn’t have wanted his life to end. But that was his choice when all’s said and done, But oh how I miss “my good looking son.”

She told her to work on convincing us to let her smoke inside. We have never said a bad word to this woman. We always speak to her calmly, but we are not going to give in about the smoking. We’ve begged her to visit more often so our daughter can see her, but she refuses to abide by the rules. What can we do? — Texas

Dear Texas: Nothing. You have made your home welcoming to smokers and nonsmokers alike. Your motherin-law is being a selfish pain

’CSI’ succumbs to Bieber fever He who demands the attention of young girls commands the attention of the world — or at least the advertising world. For those young ladies tend to go shopping and will soon grow up to head households and make the fateful purchasing decisions that result in the rise and fall of many a brand. This is why Justin Bieber, a seemingly insipid and not-yet-shaven singing sensation is a very, very big deal. Hot off a hit movie and a Grammy appearance, the Canadian-born pop star returns to guest star on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS) as the troubled teen Jason McCann. He’s not the first young or youngish performer to cameo on “CSI.” Over the years the show has featured guest-starring roles featuring musicians Taylor Swift, John Mayer and Travis Barker from Blink 182. ● The war in Afghanistan probably doesn’t get the media attention it deserves. But you can’t say it hasn’t inspired strong documentaries. Last fall National Geographic broadcast “Restrepo,” a film later nominated for an Oscar. Now HBO offers “The Battle for Marjah” (8 p.m., HBO) a similarly intimate look at Marines in combat. Filmmaker Ben Anderson spent two months with Marines during last year’s U.S. military offensive in an attempt to seize territory and the initiative from the Taliban in the hostile Helmand province. We see Marines facing gunfire and discovering and defusing roadside bombs. They also interact with locals whose response ranges from affection to hostility by way of ambivalence. Their allies in the Afghan police and military prove problematic. Anderson spends enough time with the Marines to see them gain their initial military objective, only to see their company riddled by casualties over months of occupation. The decision to take Marjah and its role in the overall strategy is not for these men to judge or secondg uess. As one survivor observes, “Marines fight battles, they don’t fight wars.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● Round three of the Los Angeles eliminations on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Ed has a Facebook revelation on the season finale of “$! My Dad Says” (7:30 p.m., CBS). ● Michael’s long-awaited spy movie debuts on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● The gruesome remains of a murdered wedding planner are discovered on Valentine’s Day on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A failure to relax on “Royal Pains” (8 p.m., USA). ● Bear Grylls returns for season six of “Man vs. Wild” (8 p.m., Discovery). ● Hightower and Jane collaborate in the field on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Baby-related sleep deprivation saps Jack’s killer edge on “30 Rock” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A clear-cut accident mediation is anything but “Fairly Legal” (9 p.m., USA). ● “Out of the Wild” (9 p.m., Discovery) returns with a trip to Venezuela. Cult choice Val Kilmer and Vincent D’Onofrio star in the baffling 2002 cosmic mystery “The Salton Sea” (7:15 p.m., Cinemax).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Feb. 17: This year, others present many options. Sometimes you will feel as if your ideas are being ignored.

Dear Annie: I am having a problem with my mother-inlaw. My husband is so upset that he doesn’t plan to speak to her again. My mother-in-law is a smoker. So are my husband, mother and father-in-law. We have asked everyone to smoke outside because I have young children and one has upperrespiratory issues. We have a screened-in porch with comfortable furniture where people are welcome to enjoy themselves. No one has a problem with this except my mother-in-law. She refuses to smoke outside. In addition, she refuses to visit unless she can smoke wherever she wants. Mom doesn’t believe smoking causes health issues, so we no longer allow our daughter to visit Mom at her home. In the past, our daughter has come home with inflamed bronchial tubes, requiring a nebulizer to breathe. Mom has turned this into a major feud, saying we are disrespectful to her. In her attempts to force us to allow her to smoke in the house, she has said some pretty nasty things to my husband. My husband is a wonderful son and has always been there for his mother whenever she needed anything. Now he is “dead” to her.
